How we loved our session with baby Marlowe and her family. I'll forever be thankful for families that invite us into their home to have a bit of their story captured. In-home sessions are so personal, but often comforting for little ones to be in their own space. Marlowe and her sister are the sweetest duo, and it made me completely nostalgic for when my own children were newborns, as exhausting as it can be!

Here are a few favourites photos from our time together!

Q: Should I get a second opinion if an attorney thinks I do not have a case?
Yes. Different lawyers will see a potential case differently. Some lawyers may not be familiar with the type of case you have. If a lawyer rejects your case, it is always a good idea to seek a second opinion.

Autonomous Uber vehicle kills pedestrian in Arizona
Earlier this week, on exactly Monday morning, was a devastating incident that involved Uber, an autonomous vehicle, and a pedestrian. Long story short, there was a pedestrian that was hit by an autonomous Uber vehicle, and was left dead in Arizona.
The vehicle was an autonomous Volvo XC90, and the victim was a female pedestrian who had just crossed in front of the vehicle outside of a crosswalk. The woman did not pass away on the spot, and was even brought to the hospital. However, she later died due to the injuries she had on her body.
It was in Tempe, near Mill Avenue and Curry Road, where the incident occurred, said the local police. This, in fact, is the very first incident that involved a self driving vehicle. According to reports by The New York Times, the vehicle was in autonomous mode, with a safety driver behind the wheel when the incident occurred outside of a crosswalk.Read the entire article Autonomous Uber vehicle kills pedestrian in Arizona
Uber resumes self-driving tests after collision in Arizona
Uber has resumed its self-driving tests after having had to temporarily put them on hold following a crash in Arizona on Friday. A Volvo XC90, the test vehicle involved in the accident was hit by another car at around 6:25 in the evening. According to Uber, the vehicle was set in self-driving mode while a driver was also on board. The other vehicle apparently is at fault for the incident as confirmed by the Tempe Police Department.
Luckily, none of the drivers were injured---considering the magnitude of the crash was substantial enough to turn the Uber car sideways. The test car also has no passengers in the backseat at the time of the incident. The photos are showing the SUV flipping over to its side while the other vehicle in the background sustained broken windows with several dents on the surface.
Although the transportation company was not to blame for this case, this is just among the many issues faced by Uber's autonomous driving program. Uber's test vehicles were disallowed on the public roads in California after it failed to secure a permit last December. It was not until it earned the support of Arizona's Governor Doug Ducey that the ride sharing service proceeded with its self-driving tests.Read the entire article Uber resumes self-driving tests after collision in Arizona
Uber's self-driving rides in California hit brakes over permit issue and red light violations
Uber was very thrilled that it was finally testing its self-driving vehicles in California. However, the thrill failed to last long, as regulators in the state seek to stop the company from doing such tests due to lack of necessary permits. To make matters worse, two of Uber's self-driving vehicles were caught running red light in San Francisco, California.
Uber has been running its ride-hailing operations in San Francisco – where its headquarters is also located – since 2011. It recently ventured into self-driving ride-hailing vehicles, which made their debut in September 2016 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After a few months, Uber commenced operations of its self-driving vehicles in San Francisco this week using camera-fitted Volvo XC90 seven-seater SUVs. Uber's XC90 units are very fairly easy to notice to recognize thanks to the prominent mount on its rooftop. Uber's self-driving rides could be good news, considering that the autonomous vehicle has been becoming a key point of future mobility. But maybe not for Uber.
It turned out that Uber failed to – or more so intently didn't – secure any permit from the state of California to bring its self-driving Volvo XC90 units on the streets for testing. Companies wishing to have their autonomous or self-driving vehicles ply the streets in California need to secure permit to do so from the state, in particular from the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). According to DMV, such permit need to be secured in order to ensure public safety as autonomous technology is being tested.Read the entire article Uber's self-driving rides in California hit brakes over permit issue and red light violations
Volvo upgrades safety, powertrain, connectivity features of S90, V90, and XC90
Despite the fact that Volvo has just recently launched the 90 Series models, specifically the S90, the V90, and the XC90, the brand is not stopping there as it has revealed that the models will be getting an upgrade.
The first is in terms of connectivity and while the models are already integrated with Apple CarPlay, they are now also compatible with Android Auto. The range will also include an update of the Over-The-Air navigation which allows the vehicle to have access to the latest maps.
Volvo will also be updating the powertrain with new Drive-E units that the brand says will bring in a good mix between drivability and fuel economy. The S90 for example will now have the 4-cylinder D3 diesel engine, allowing it to enjoy fuel economy of 4.3 1/100 km (54.7 mpg) and CO2 emissions of 114 g/km. This is true whether the engine is paired the automatic 6-speed transmission or the new manual 6-speed version. Additionally, the engine will be offered with an all-wheel drive.Read the entire article Volvo upgrades safety, powertrain, connectivity features of S90, V90, and XC90
The multi-awarded Volvo XC90 did it again. Recently, the Volvo XC90 has been voted SUV of the Year at the UK Car of the Year Awards 2016. A 27-member panel consisting of motoring journalists writing for The Sunday Times, The Telegraph, Top Gear and Auto Express judged the prestigious award.
Editor and Managing Director of the UK Car of the Year Awards John Challen says that the stunning cabin design, with its high tech features, luxury, spaciousness and superb engineering, makes the SUV an "enjoyable driving experience."
The XC90 was built using Volvo's new SPA platform and is considered to be the most technologically advanced car for Volvo. It has a petrol-electric plug-in hybrid powertrain that delivers 407 hp power yet produces a low carbon emission of only 49g/km which equates to a monthly Benefit-in-Kind tax bill of just £100.67 for the taxpayer.Read the entire article Volvo XC90 is named SUV of the Year for 2016
Volvo Car introduces the exclusive four-seat XC90 Excellence during the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. Touted as the most luxurious car in the carmakers' 89-year history, the XC90 Excellence's appearance at the show marks its European debut and is seen to strengthen Volvo's image as a premium car manufacturer.
Based on the award-winning XC90SUV, the new car features an elegant interior covered in leather, finest upholstery and handcrafted crystal glasses from Orrefors of Sweden. In addition, passengers are pampered by the individual, adjustable rear seats that have a massage function as well as headrests designed for maximum comfort.
A refrigerator, two folding tables and cup holders that are capable of heating or cooling depending on passenger's need are only some of the features that add to its premium comfort offering. Volvo's new design approach called modular Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) seems to work well for the company with the new XC90 Excellence being the most recent product of the new system.Read the entire article Volvo debuts its most luxurious car ever – the XC90 Excellence
2016 Chicago Auto Show is a busy event for Volvo as the carmaker celebrates two major achievements for the company in the said event – the launching of the new Volvo S90 luxury sedan and receiving the awards for the XC90 SUV. Since its press reveal last December, the new S90 has received commendations for its elegant exterior as well as its well-appointed interiors.
In a distinct homage to the iconic Volvo P1800, the S90's front features a concave grille with Volvo's new Iron Mark. Another powerful design statement is the T-shaped Thor's Hammer lights that make the S90 instantly recognizable on the road. The interior of the new sedan is spectacular as well, with visible similarities to the highly successful XC90 SUV.
However, the addition of stylish detail enhancements on the new dashboard and instrument panel which include the Sensus user interface and the vertically-standing new air blades set the sedan apart from its SUV cousin.Read the entire article Volvo S90 luxury sedan debuts at 2016 Chicago Auto Show
A new R-Design version of the prize-winning 2016 Volvo XC90 has been launched. The R-Design family is well known for having the sportiest style within the XC90 lineup. The new Volvo's seven-seat SUV will come with a variety of features such as a wide range of design, dynamic and equipment upgrades, all of them aiming to accentuate the sporty attitude of the vehicle.
Its exterior features 20-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels. It is accentuated with silver-effect door mirrors that make a beautiful contrast with its gloss black mesh front grille and its tinted rear windows.
The inside is fitted with comfortable leather/nubuck sports seats, a 12.3-inch active TFT driver's information display.Read the entire article Volvo launches sportiest-ever R-Design variant of XC90 in the UK
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has accorded to Volvo XC90 a prestigious Top Safety Pick+ rating. This is the highest possible safety rating from the IIHS and is awarded to vehicles that managed to achieve full scores in all crashworthiness and front-crash prevention tests as well as dish out outstanding preventive and protective safety performance.
Just a week before this rating was given, XC90 received five stars from Euro NCAP during the European safety regulator's 2015 Euro NCAP tests. Remarkably, the XC90 was the first car from any carmaker that was able to get full points in the Autonomous Emergency Braking Car to Car rear-end tests (AEB City & AEB Interurban).
Thanks to Volvo's standard City Safety technology installed in the XC90, the SUV managed to get the top score in the institute's crashworthiness tests, which include small overlap, moderate overlap, roof strength, side, head restraints and seats tests.Read the entire article 2016 Volvo XC90 earns Top Safety Pick+ rating from IIHS
Volvo experienced a 1.3 percent drop in global sales with only 39,919 vehicles sold in May 2015 because the first deliveries of the new XC90 failed to fully compensate for higher volumes of the old model sold in May 2014. In Sweden last month, Volvo's sales fell by 4 percent. However, it reported an 8.6 percent increase in the rest of Western Europe.
The automaker's sales in China decreased by 2.2 percent while sales in the United States fell by 0.2 percent. Sales in what Volvo refers to as "other markets" had the steepest drop of 18.8 percent. However, the brand revealed that it got over 36,000 pre-orders for the new XC90, which have not been covered in the most recent sales data.
Volvo has a lot depending on the XC90 as it is expected to double the worldwide annual sales to 800,000 units by 2020. It's expected to be competitive in a premium market that's ruled by German brands. Four years ago, Zhejiang Geely bought Volvo from Ford Motor. The XC90 is the first fully new car built while under Geely's ownership.Read the entire article Volvo's global sales down 1.3% in May 2015 as it ramps up XC90 output
Do you want to experience ultimate automobile luxury according to how Volvo defines it? You will know exactly what it is at the upcoming Shanghai International Automobile Show where Volvo will be showcasing its new flagship car -- the XC90 Excellence. This is undoubtedly the most luxurious vehicle that Volvo has ever made.
The XC90 Excellence is an elegant and refined four-seat version of its newly launched XC90. Volvo's designers and engineers designed the XC90 Excellence to give buyers a unique and individual automotive experience that merges the newest Scandinavian advances when it comes to design, style, refinement, and comfort.
The new XC90 sports utility vehicle is the basis for the XC90 but the differences are numerous. While the original XC90 has seven seats, the XC90 Excellence only has four. As a result, the rear seat passengers of the Excellence model get a big amount of space, giving them an awesome customer experience.Read the entire article Volvo's super luxurious XC90 Excellence flagship gets Shanghai debut
Volvo is aiming to sell 28,800 units of the redesigned XC90 crossover in a full year. Volvo is launching the XC90 in May and has regarded it as its rebirth. Volvo considers the redesigned seven-seat, full-size crossover as critical to its resurgence after it saw its 2014 sales drop 7.9 percent to 56,366 vehicles in the United States, which grew 5.9 percent in the year.
The XC90 is the first vehicle that the carmaker has developed independently since it became a part of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co., underpinned by a new flexible platform that will also underpin most of its future models. The XC90 will also be powered by a new family of four-cylinder engines. It will be the first Volvo model that contains no component from former owner Ford Motor Co.
"It is truly everything we stand for," remarked Bodil Eriksson, executive vice president for product marketing communications at Volvo Cars of North America. Volvo is planning to build around 100,000 XC90s in a full year and will target the US as its main market, followed by China, Sweden and the rest of Europe.Read the entire article Volvo targets to sell 28,800 XC90s in a full year
Volvo Car has started taking orders for all-new Volvo XC90 – its first vehicle produced using new in-house designed and built chassis and engines.

The carmaker is only building 1927 examples, representing the year Volvo was founded -- all in one specification level and in the same exterior color and interior upholstery. The carmaker has received positive and constructive feedbacks from customers who were given a chance to preview the new XC90 and is making a number of changes that buyers could avail of.
For instance, customers from the United Kingdom could avail of the 320hp T6 petrol engine and of the auxiliary heater -- standard on the T8 Twin Engine -- on the D5 engine. The auxiliary heater enables a driver to pre-condition the cabin to a set temperature as the user likes it.

The 2015 Volvo XC90 made its debut last month and the new SUV made quite a buzz, just like the XC90 First Edition which was sold out in just 47 hours. Still, Volvo wants to take things even further and the Swedish carmaker owned by Geely is working on a super-luxury version for the Chinese market.
The new model will offer four seats, not 7, but what's more interesting is that the rear seats will be set further back in order to offer plenty of legroom for the rear passengers. Currently, there are no details regarding the debut of the vehicle but Autocar says that it might be shown later this year.
Volvo's all-new XC90 is offered with a twin-turbodiesel D5 engine producing 225 hp (168 kW) and 470 Nm (295 lb-ft) of torque, which returns a fuel economy of 39.2 mpg or 6 l/100 km.

Volvo's dealerships in the United States are bound to get a third of the 80,000 XC90 units produced annually. According to Volvo Cars chief executive Hakan Samuelsson, the carmaker will start selling the 2016 XC90 in the US in April, with shipments to dealers there being prioritized. He remarked that that the vehicle is very important for the US since it is the market for a big seven-seater.
The new XC90 underscores Volvo's target to move upscale in status and pricing -- offering new styling, ample room for seven people, new safety technologies, more fuel-efficient engines and a more premium interior. The midsize crossover also marks the first vehicle developed by Volvo under the wings of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group.
Samuelsson is expecting the XC90 to boost Volvo's sales performance in the US to 100,000 units. Volvo just sold 61,233 vehicles in the US in 2013 and has dropped 11 percent in the first seven months of 2014 to 34,224 units. The decline in the sales of the current XC90 in the US has been attributed to its age – it is considered as one of the oldest models in the crossover segment.Read the entire article US Volvo dealers to get third of total XC90 annual production
The 2015 Volvo XC90 has just been unveiled two days ago but there are no words of a possible Polestar edition of the new SUV. Still, that didn't stop X-Tomi Design to work its magic on the stylish Swedish SUV and transform it into a blue menace. As you can see from the photos, the XC90 became even more aggressive thanks to a new front bumper with larger air intakes and to the addition of a new set of rocker panels.
Moreover, the vehicle received a new set of five-spoke alloy wheels as well as a smurf blue exterior finish. For those who don't know, the 2015 Volvo XC90 comes a choice of two petrol and two diesel engines but also with a plug-in hybrid version.

When you are applying for a job, it goes without saying that a potential employer will likely conduct a pre-employment background check before making a hiring decision. But when an employer asks you to submit information for a consumer credit check during the pre-employment process, it might strike fear in your heart. Perhaps you have been unemployed for a while and your credit has suffered. Or perhaps you made some bad money decisions in the past that have negatively impacted your credit score. If your potential employer uses your credit rating as a factor in hiring, it could cause even more financial problems for you if you are not hired due to your credit.
What Is The Statute Of Limitations For Employment Discrimination Claims?
The legend of Damocles goes back well over 2,000 years to a time when King Dionysius ruled part of Italy. You may be familiar with this story where Damocles became jealous of the king's wealth and power. So, Dionysius offered to exchange places with his subject. Damocles readily accepted, and sat on the throne surrounded by opulence and majesty. Unbeknownst to him, however, Dionysius arranged for a sword to hang over the throne suspended only by a horse's hair. According to the tale, Damocles quickly learned his lesson - with great power comes great danger - and he returned to his previous position with newfound gratitude.
6 HR Blogs Every Employee Should Be Reading
Navigating the ins and outs of complex employer and employee dynamics can be difficult. Whether you just landed your first entry-level position, or have worked hard for a number of years to land that dream job, you can face employment discrimination - or even retaliation if you decide to take a stand against illegal conduct. Thankfully, state and federal law with the help of skilled employment lawyers can protect your rights, but where should you seek answers to your questions about other work-related issues?
How to File a Workplace Discrimination Complaint in California
If you believe you're facing discrimination in the workplace, then filing a workplace discrimination complaint is at the forefront of your mind. You're probably also facing the facts that you might not even know what employment discrimination entails, what anti-discrimination laws are defined as in the state of California or what your employee rights are.

Washington Digest/Senate approves defense authorization bill
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Senate last week overwhelmingly approved a $612 billion defense authorization bill over objections from the Obama administration that it evades congressionally mandated spending caps through an accounting loophole.
The measure, which establishes defense policies for the next fiscal year, passed 71-25. Still, Democrats expressed concerns that it includes a nearly $40 billion increase in Overseas Contingency Operations, a war-fighting account that is not subject to automatic budget cuts put in place by the 2011 sequester law.
Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island, the leading Democrat on the Armed Services Committee, argued increasing the contingency fund amounts to deficit spending, and would increase pressure on Congress to cut spending from domestic programs.

The Access to Post-Primary Teaching (APT) Project is a three year joint initiative between the National University of Ireland Galway and St. Angela's College, Sligo which aims to recruit and educate individuals from under-represented groups who are interested in becoming post-primary school teachers.
As such, the APT Project has developed a direct entry route into St. Angela's three initial teacher education programmes specifically for students with a QQI-FET qualification, as these individuals are typically underrepresented within the teaching profession. This direct entry route will continue until the project terminates in 2020.
This project is being led by the Home Economics and Education Departments, along with the Access Office of St. Angela's College, in partnership with Further Education (FE) providers in the Border, Midlands and Western (BMW) region, including Galway Community College. Biomedical Science/Laboratory Techniques and Early Childhood Care & Education are the approved QQI-FET courses at this location. 10 places will be reserved in St. Angela's Initial Teacher Education (ITE) programmes for eligible FE students; 1 place is specifically reserved for a participant from GCC.
Angela's offers a total of three BA/PME Initial Teacher Education (ITE) programmes through the APT Project. Each programme is 5 years in duration. All students study Home Economics& Education, along with one additional subject area, namely, Biology, Religious Education, or Irish.
Home Economics explores the areas of food studies, family resource management, fashion & design.
The Education component provides students with the foundational studies of Initial Teacher Education.
Biology explores the areas of biological & physical sciences, and methodology of Science & Biology teaching.
Religious Education includes Theology, Contemporary Religious Practice, World Religions, and Ethics.
The Irish elective enables students to attain a high level of proficiency in the spoken language and includes modules such as Irish Literature, Irish Poetry, Drama Folklore, and Irish Media and Film Studies.
All potential applicants must meet the following criteria:
Pre-entry supports consist of InReach & OutReach activities such as short 'taster' courses which take place at St. Angela's during the academic year, as well as OutReach activities that will be provided by St. Angela's staff at your FE College/Institute. Post-entry supports for successful students include the following:
Apply to St. Angela's via the CAO for entry in September 2019 or 2020. Each year, up to 10 places will be reserved in St. Angela's ITE programmes for entrants who meet the eligibility criteria from the partner FE providers. Of the total number of places, 1 place will be reserved for an eligible student from each FE provider. The remaining two places will be opened to APT students in all of the partner FE providers. All places are allocated on merit, and random selection will apply, if necessary. Places will then be formally offered by St. Angela's College via the CAO.

By Tiffany Ran
March 16, 2017
On a rainy Sunday nearly a month after its soft opening, the line at the Southcenter Mall's new 85°C Bakery and Cafe still extended around the store. Customers were invited into the store in small groups while the rest waited outside on a ramp built around the store's perimeter. A store employee offered umbrellas to patient customers waiting in the rain. At 1pm that Sunday, eager customers waited about an hour to step inside. The weather was gloomy but even outside, the air smelled of fresh baked bread. There, they stood at eye level with the breads and pastries on display inside: trays of egg tarts, robust cheese twists, violet-marbled taro bread, black sesame–flecked red bead buns, and the bakery's signature brioche, a love child between a brioche and a souffle.
Taiwanese breads and pastries are known for their subtle savory-sweet flavors and puffy, cloudlike texture reminiscent of traditional steamed buns. Unlike western-style breads, Taiwanese pastries often use lower gluten flour to create the beloved pillowy texture described in Mandarin as "cotton-like." The success of 85°C, a 13-year-old Taiwanese bakery and cafe chain, has led to a great popularity for this style of breads and pastries abroad. Founder Cheng-Hsueh Wu started 85°C Bakery Cafe in 2003. Inspired by a cafe experience at a five-star hotel, Wu aimed to bring quality coffee, breads, and pastries to the masses at an affordable price. The company's name is based off the belief that 85 degrees Celsius is the optimum temperature for coffee. Its unique sea salt coffee propelled the bakery/cafe to hometown stardom. The company beat Starbucks to become the largest coffee and bakery chain in Taiwan two years after its first store opened in Taipei. In a 2008 interview, NBC referred to 85°C as "Asia's Starbucks."
"We chose the Seattle area based on requests from our patrons. We picked the Southcenter Mall primarily for its ease of transportation and parking, and its proximity to major freeways that connect to Seattle. Our target is towards family consumers, and that plays a role in our choice of location," said Emily Hu, marketing director of 85°C Bakery Cafe.
At its Tukwila Southcenter Mall location, customers come from as far as Canada and Portland, as well Seattle and the eastside. This is the first of potentially many 85°C locations in Washington. The company currently has over 400 locations in Taiwan, over 500 in China, 7 in Australia, 8 in Hong Kong, and 26 stores in the States with a forthcoming 27th location opening soon in Glendale, California. Its first U.S. location in Irvine, California drew unending lines from open to close and led the company to open 24 other stores throughout the state.
Tukwila's opening day in late February drew about 2,000 people who purchased 900 of the store's discounted sea salt coffees. Lynnwood and Capitol Hill locations are set to open by the year's end.
"We have not had an experience in the company where the excitement and hype has lasted this long [past the grand opening]," said assistant general manager Lisa Hatten. "We have a really strong international following in the United States. It's a little taste of home for a lot of people that are here or have relocated here, and those who travel a lot and have experienced it abroad," she adds.
For these reasons, consistency not just in product but also in menu is a priority for the company. 85°C does not franchise any of its stores, preferring instead to open every location with company resources and using only recipes developed by its lead pastry chefs. Popular flavors in Tukwila like the marble taro bread, a rounded soft bread filled with sweet taro paste, and any savory pastries with meat like the spicy sausage or ham and cheese, remain in line with preferences in its California store. In Taiwan, classics like the baroh danish, a fluffy bun with a sweet streusel-like topping, continues to be the country's top selling item.
"Some Tukwila customers have experienced our breads at California locations and they would expect that whatever flavors they enjoyed there to also be available in Seattle. In the future as the company matures, we can consider the possibility of diversifying our menu based on neighborhood or regions," said Hu.
Tukwila's 85°C receives multiple shipments a week from the company's central warehouse bakery in California, where its breads and pastries are made using recipes crafted by the company's lead pastry chefs. Breads and pastries are shipped batched and frozen, then proofed, baked, and garnished at its various locations including Tukwila. Tukwila will likely serve as a central kitchen, supplying breads to local 85°C outposts like the prospective Capitol Hill location.
"I've been working in bakeries for over 20 years and I've never experienced a bakery like this where you put out fresh product every 15 to 30 minutes from the time we open to the time we close," said Hatten.
At Tukwila, staff rush to replenish trays as one set of customers leave and more are let in. Even customers lined up to pay will, upon seeing new breads enter the floor, leave the line to fill another tray. One customer sighed over a brief glimpse of the coveted bacon and cheese bread brought out and quickly snatched up by others in the brief time she stood in line. It was mid-afternoon on a Sunday, and some flavors like the milk pudding bread, a soft bread with a pudding swirl, had already sold out, but the line outside persisted until the store closed at midnight.
"In the food industry, everyone is still pursuing freshness and fresh baked bread is what people enjoy so we need to fulfill this demand. This is also a challenge," said Hu. "Operations-wise, every store needs to keep their ovens running to bake one batch after another and it's challenging. But fresh bread is what made us popular so this will never change."
The success of future Seattle area stores may lead the company to set up an in-state warehouse bakery where product can be batched, frozen, and delivered across shorter distances.
The opening of the slated Lynnwood location will likely pull away customers from Tukwila in the south, but Hatten believes such growth will eventually lend to a more leisurely experience where one can stroll in and enjoy a midafternoon pastry with a sea salt coffee, no wait required and at the same friendly price point that its founder had intended. ♦

Life radically changes when you say, "this has to work." Whatever "this" is for you. For me, it was/is yoga. Yoga had to work. It became my "this." In 2012, I committed to a daily practice. It was the most selfish dedication I made to myself. A new mom. In a very dark place. Happy on the outside, dying on the inside. There are details that attempt to replay and escape me from the present, I turn to them to reflect in gratitude. I find moments to love, especially the most painful, the struggles, and trials.
It is now 2016. I live to the same note: this has to work. Only, my "this" has become all-inclusive: it is loving myself, living my truth, practicing my yoga, and saying YES to anything and everything the scares me the most. Because what's true, my darkness didn't scare me death, in fact, it gave birth to my life. I had to go dark in order to see, in order to feel, in order to love, in order to live.
This is a fuck yes life, a parade of darkness and light, dancing alongside each other. (at Oranjestad, Aruba)

Occasionally I make videos just because I feel like it.
In college, I did a little YouTube channel with my roommates called No Parents TV. It was a ton of fun, but alas, life happens, and our little channel ended when we all got busy.
I flirted with the idea of starting my own YouTube channel. This is one of my favorites, filmed during my crazy talking-with-my-hands phase. Forgive the hands.
Then one time I did this video with Teddie Films. Now over 3.1 million people have seen me on a toilet.
Once I accidentally became an internationally renowned Bigfoot hunter. That was fun.

You are so powerful. You are so capable. You have so much potential.
Yet so much of your magic lays dormant. Because something is holding you back.
You don't even feel safe and at home in your own body. You are disconnected from your
inner guidance and instead are constantly looking outward.
Living this way is diluting your potency.
It's time to embrace your truth!! Because woman, the truth is…
You are divinity herself. You are the creator of your reality. You are full of
all the potential and guidance you could ever need to accomplish EVERYTHING you desire.
You are capable of so much MORE.
You are meant to shine so brightly. To be vibrant. To feel ridiculous amounts of joy.
To love your body and be guided by the wisdom that you hold within.
Have you been denying your truth?
Are you holding back from embracing the divinity of your very being?
I know you are ready to start living an inspired, fully turned on life.
That's why we've met here and now.
I am here to awaken you to the power within you.
To help you begin peeling off the layers that are masking your truth and dimming your light.
To take you on a journey that will completely transform you- from the inside out.
Everyone is unique in their needs and desires. For this reason, each coaching program is intuitively curated to fit the individual.
This is a journey I've been on myself. I took the long way. Full of twists and turns and dead ends-so that you don't have to. Whether you are looking for long term support or a single session everyone I work with begins with a Soul Cleansing Call.
On this call we dive deep and reveal the truth about where you are, where you prefer to be and how to begin moving in that direction.
I charge $180 for this initial 60 minute session.
If we both feel drawn to continue our work together we can discuss the details of my 4 month coaching package at the end of the call.
Either way you will receive tremendous value and clarity during our session.

I so look forward to connecting with you!

Creating tiles of images with ImageMagick's montage
I'm following a photography mentorship in Google+. We have weekly assignments on specific subjects of photography.
Due to all this work, I have to create mosaics of the shots I've made every week. This can be a time-consuming and boring task. Someone on G+, though, gave me the answer: ImageMagick !
Just go install this package in your distribution (Ubuntu in my case, but any Linux distribution will for sure include it). Along with the package, a bunch of utilities will be installed. One is Montage.
- Open a command prompt.
- CD to the directory where you have all the images.
- Type:
montage *.jpg -geometry 300×200 -tile 3×2 montage.jpg
This will read all the JPG files in your folder, resize them to 300×200 (proportionally) and it will create a JPG
called "montage.jpg" with a 3×2 tile of the images.
If you have more than 6 (3×2) images, it will create montage1.jpg, montage2.jpg… and so on, until all the images are tiled.
Amazingly simple.

For 43-YEAR-OLD Okechukwu Okoro, life has been so tough. He has not urinated since January– no thanks to a kidney problem that requires N9m to rectify. Okoro, who is resident in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, is from Ehime Mbano Local Government Area of Imo State. He is on admission at the male medical/surgical ward of the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH).
The young man's wife, Chinenye, stated in Port Harcourt that her husband was diagnosed of End Stage Kidney Failure, with the two kidneys affected and had been sustaining his life through dialysis three times a week, since September 2013.
Chinenye said: "My husband is now on maintenance dialysis three times a week. The cost of dialysis, with blood transfusion, iron sucrus injection, recormon injection, glucometer, pre and post-dialysis tests is N54,000 per session, at three times a week, totalling N162,000. For one month, it is N648,000.
"According to medical advice, the only solution to save the life of my husband is transplanting of kidney and one year anti-rejection drugs, which is N9 million. We cannot afford the money.
"I am pleading with government, corporate and non-governmental organisations, individuals and other members of the public to assist us, so that my husband will survive. Support should please be sent to: Okechukwu Okoro, GTB – 0139571638."
Chinenye also presented a letter from the Renal Unit of UPTH, signed by Dr. C. Wachukwu, a Consultant Nephrologist, affirming that Okechukwu is on admission in the hospital and suffering from end stage kidney failure.
Wachukwu noted that survival of Okoro depended on life-long maintenance dialysis or kidney transplant, stressing that both modalities of treatment are expensive, requiring a minimum of $40,000 or the local equivalent, not within the reach of average patient.

Athletic competitions, when you get right down to it, consist of a series of problems or puzzles. The coach's job is to be sure the athlete has enough tools to solve every problem and to teach the player how and when to use them.
Topics: Youth Sports, Soccer, Coaching
Do you want to really get your team's attention? Start a pre-game speech with "I made a mistake."
Players don't hear those words very often from their coach. When they do, it's usually followed by "I thought you were better than you are." What's wrong with telling your players you were wrong, you made a mistake, screwed things up, and in the end, let them down?

Old sayings have merit. If they didn't, people would have stopped repeating them long before they became old sayings.
And the adage that every youth sports coach wants to coach a team full of orphans is certainly grounded in some truth.

Earlier this week, the 14U girls soccer team I coach had a very unique experience. Lauren Gregg, who served as the assistant coach with the U.S. women's national team for 12 years, trained them.
Naturally, any time your team can have access to a high-level coach, your players are going to get a lot out of it. But the experience for the girls – and for me -- was even better than I thought it would be.

The hiring process in a business is pretty clear-cut. There's an opening that requires a certain set of skills. Qualified candidates apply, and the person deemed capable of doing the best job gets the position.
In youth sports organizations, the process can be upside-down at times. When a club needs a coach, the search begins. The club tries to get the best coach available. Adding non-coaching duties to a job description is a common way for clubs to increase the salary of quality coaches.

There are 3.3 million apps in the Google Play store, and there's probably that many people in the world with an idea for another one.
The question is, how many apps do you need to make your team or organization more efficient? The good news is the answer is one.

I coach girls soccer. The girls I am currently coaching are between 13 and 15, so the following sentence from a study by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) certainly caught my eye.
The study found that "Among teenage athletes, the rate of ACL tears is rising, with the sharpest increase seen in females aged 13-17 who, over the last 13 years, have experienced a 59 percent increase in the number of required reconstruction procedures."

Way back in the 90s, the late Tony DiCicco had his players complete an exercise that emphasized teamwork, accountability and work ethic.

Do you, as a coach, really know how your players are feeling? Do your players really understand the factors that affect their performance?
They tell you they are fine, but they aren't playing as well you know they can. So how can you be sure?

It's quite common to see young athletes – especially at the middle and high school ages – playing more than one sport in the same season. They play a school sport after school and rush to their club practice at night.
We are not going to add to the debate here and contribute our opinions on whether it is good or bad, right or wrong. Instead, we want to talk about the inevitable consequences – issues arising from overuse.

SYDNEY (CBS.MW) -- U.S.-traded shares of AngloGold closed under pressure Wednesday, as investors registered a tepid response to the South Africa-based company's offer to acquire Australia's Normandy Mining.
AngloGold AU, +2.85% said the deal -- valued A$4.4 billion ($2.3 billion) in stock and assumed debt -- would create a global gold company capable of increasing output by some 30 percent while extracting cost savings.
On three times their average daily volume, AngloGold's shares closed down $1.19 to $16 on the New York Stock Exchange, after touching a low of $15.99 earlier in the session.
On a conference call Wednesday, AngloGold executives ticked off a string of reasons for why a deal with Normandy makes sense -- namely, an "attractive" risk profile, better geographic diversification, and enabling a combined company to better compete against established gold companies based in North America.
AngloGold said it ranks as the world's largest gold miner, while Normandy is the biggest miner in Australia and stands No. 7 among global gold producers.
"The combined annual gold production of 9.1 million ounces will reinforce AngloGold's position as the world's leading gold producer and will establish the company as the largest gold producer in both Australia and Africa, with a significant presence in North and South America," AngloGold CEO Bobby Godsell said in a statement.
A successful bid would give AngloGold a market capitalization of $5.5 billion.
Normandy's board has appointed Macquarie Bank to help evaluate the bid and prepare a recommendation to shareholders.
Little spillover effect
Word of AngloGold's offer failed to excite much interest in the gold sector, however, with most component stocks in the Philadelphia Gold & Silver Index XAU, +2.00% trading in narrow ranges.
Earlier in Johannesburg, AngloGold shares fell as much as 6.1 percent. And in Sydney, shares of Normandy (NDY) resumed trading Wednesday at A$1.41, up 31 cents, following a temporary trading suspension.
Gold changed hands at $274.10 an ounce by the close of trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange Wednesday, less than 10 percent above the metal's 20-year low of $251.95, hit in August 1999 -- a big reason companies are looking for economies of scale through mergers.
In so difficult a market environment, gold producers' shares have come under serious pressure. Both Hecla Mining HL, +7.53% and Coeur d'Alene Mines CDE, +5.25% nowadays trade for $1 per share or less.
Against this backdrop, the industry has been closing ranks. Canada's Barrick Gold ABX, +0.49% announced in June a deal to acquire Homestake Mining HM for $2.3 billion in stock. See story.
And last January, Newmont Mining NEM, +1.27% closed on the acquisition of Battle Mountain Gold.
In a similar vein, South Africa's De Beers family earlier this year announced a plan to take diamond conglomerate De Beers Consolidated Mines private in a deal valued at about $18.7 billion. See story.
Big bullion
AngloGold is offering 2.15 of its shares for every 100 Normandy shares. The bid values Normandy at A$3.2 billion (A$1.42 per share).
The offer represents a premium of 29 percent to Normandy's closing share price in Sydney on Tuesday -- and a 33 percent premium based on a 30-day weighted average of both companies' share prices.
Robert Champion de Crespigny, chairman and CEO of Normandy, described AngloGold's offer as "a logical industry move" reflecting objectives "similar to the strategies we at Normandy have expressed for some time."
Consolidation in the gold and resources industries "is necessary as companies seek to gain critical mass, both operationally and in order to gain more efficient access to capital through greater liquidity and better market ratings," he said.
"Normandy has acted as a consolidator in this industry to date, but we recognize that even larger scale is now required," Champion de Crespigny said.
Mining savings
AngloGold said the acquisition would reduce its production costs by 4 percent to $182 an ounce. And after the deal is completed, the company said, its larger asset base and production capability would give AngloGold "the flexibility to close or dispose of lower margin operations, and the capacity to acquire attractive assets."
AngloGold's production amounted to some 7 million ounces of gold as of the end of 2000. The company holds ore reserves of 88 million ounces and resources of 398 million ounces.
Normandy produced 2.3 million ounces of gold in the fiscal year through June 30. It had reserves of 26.4 million ounces and resources of 59.3 million ounces.
The miner's share price took a heavy hit last month after it announced worse-than-expected results, a write-down of A$289 million ($150 million) and a suspension of dividend payments for the rest of the year. Normandy had A$1.18 billion of long-term debt as of the end of June.
Normandy shareholders will have several weeks from the date that they receive AngloGold's statement to consider the offer and their board's recommendation. The deal is also subject to Australian and South African regulatory approval.

Keen x Zappos #stepintoadventure
Sponsored by Zappos.
It's that time of year again… Summer comes to an end, leaves start to change, and the inevitable first snow appears in the mountains. To many this means the end of the hiking season, but to me it brings a whole new reason to get out in the alpine: larches. Once a year, around the beginning of October, these trees make a dramatic change from their typical green to a vibrant gold. I was contacted by Zappos to try a new pair of Keen boots, and I figured where else would be better to document these boots than surrounded by groves of massive golden larches intermingled among pristine alpine lakes.
A few friends and I met up at the Enchantments trailhead just before the break of dawn. We headed out towards our first destination, Colchuck Lake, just as the sun started to rise behind our backs. Upon peaking the ridge of the basin, we marveled at the first views of the lake with cries of joy and excitement. I've been to Colchuck Lake a few times before, but this one was special. The lake was calmer than I've ever seen and larches dotted across the hillside.
At this point we met face to face with our next opponent: Aasgard Pass. Roughly 2000 feet in about a mile makes this no walk in the park. Strapped sturdy to my feet, my boots provided the grip and comfort needed to climb a pass like this. As we approached the top, we saw exactly what we were hoping for, thousands of those special golden trees.
Upon completing Aasgard Pass, the hardest part of the trip was behind us - or so I thought. We took a short break at Isolation Lakes, made some food, took some photos, and then continued on our journey. The best part of the Enchantments is after Aasgard Pass most all of the trail is flat or downhill. We wandered our way through the Core Zone, stopping at iconic lakes like Inspiration, Perfection, Viviane, and Leprechaun. The weather couldn't have been better, with constant sun most all day. Waiting patiently for golden hour, we found the best place to set up shop for sunset.
Typically this trail is done in a multi-day backpacking trip, but because we didn't have overnight permits we had to finish in a day. Overall it took around 18 hours, with stops along the way. We hiked a total of around 20 miles, with roughly a gain of 6000 feet and a loss of 7500 feet. This thru-hike was my longest and most challenging day trip to date. Even with substantial wear in a day, my feet remained comfortable, dry, and ready for more miles.

Lawsuit Slams the State's Duals Project
Stakeholders last week filed a lawsuit in Superior Court lambasting Cal MediConnect, the dual eligibles demonstration project that is part of the state's Coordinated Care Initiative.
That process is misleading and confusing, according to the lawsuit filed July 2 in state Superior Court in Sacramento by the Los Angeles County Medical Association, three independent living centers in the county and an ophthalmologist based in Chula Vista. They said the frail, elderly and often cognitively impaired patients in the duals project have been harmed by inadequate readiness of implementation by the state, which the lawsuit said was confirmed by CMS review.
"This program has caused vast confusion among these patients," the lawsuit said. "At the same time, regulators have discovered various plans approved to participate in the program have had inadequate networks, or received low quality scores or failed to meet solvency requirements. Yet [state officials] have insisted on implementing the CCI -- even in the absence of statutory authority to do so."

Orange To Brighten My Winter Blues
It's been raining a lot lately which is rare in the Sandbox and the days have been quite gloomy – perfect for sleeping in, but otherwise gets me under the weather. I do love the cold though and come three months, the residents of sunny-all-year-round Dubai will long for the year to end just to feel it again.
When it's damp and dull outside, we could all use a pop of color to brighten up our winter look. Though the monochromatic look is clearly within my comfort zone, I dare to dip my feet into the paint bucket once in a while. And because orange and blue go well together and black goes well with just about anything, I paired orange pumps with my blue and black ensemble. It's business at the top and happy feet at the bottom!

For someone who doesn't really wear much makeup, I sure post about it a lot. But guys, it's for a good reason: your makeup will make a HUGE difference in your photos! Also, your photographer will do a little happy dance when she sees a gorgeous, glowing face with perfectly accentuated features. Just saying.
A while back, I touched on this subject, along with why I'm seriously begging you NOT to spray tan before your photos. I want to elaborate on the makeup end of it now by explaining why it matters who you select to do your makeup on your big day. At the root of it, I believe it matters because your photos should reflect YOU and your emotions on your wedding day (or engagements, family sessions, whatever the occasion!), and good makeup simply complements those things, while bad makeup absolutely will distract from them.
Let's talk about why the actual makeup artist really, really freaking matters:
Reason numero uno: Your photos should reflect you, i.e., you should recognize yourself when looking at them. YOU are good enough as you are! You are beautiful without creating anything that doesn't exist or altering your features. That being said, the right makeup artist will know how to complement your natural features in a way that is subtle but powerful.
This is multi-faceted: it means she'll know how to correctly match foundation to your true skin color, including undertones, because guess what: some of us are a little pink, others have more yellow, etc. It's important to recognize these things because a mismatched face WILL be obvious in your photos, even if it's just slightly off.
It also means she'll pay attention to the natural shape and size of your features. Not all of us have big eyes capable of supporting a dramatic smokey eye, but a good makeup artist will know how to take the things you love about that Kim K. inspo shot and tailor it to your natural features. And from the photographer's perspective, this is a GREAT thing, because guess what happens when someone tries to do a bold smokey eye when they have naturally smaller eyes? Their eyes disappear into black holes in photos and without fail, they ask if there is any way to make their eyes look better after the fact. Sorry, no. This also means your makeup artist should pay attention to colors that will enhance and flatter your features, rather than following someone else's work on someone else entirely. Some of us simply can't do black eyeliner (hi I'm talking about small eyes a lot because I have them and it took me way too damn long to learn some of this!), but a warm brown will do the trick times ten. It'll make those blue eyes pop without closing them in. Likewise, for those of you with big, beautiful, sultry eyes, for the love of all that is good, rock that bold smokey eye with the black liner!
Short story long, your makeup artist will know how to make the most of your features!
Reason numero dos: Similar to a good makeup artist's ability to understand and enhance your natural features is her desire to understand your own personal style and objective for the look. A good makeup artist will take the time to understand what your everyday style is and what the vibe of the photos is supposed to be to create a look that still suits you, but fits the look to the objective (it's a special occasion, right? Your makeup should be a little "more" than your everyday look!).
This is important because your photos should make sense: you should clearly still be you, and the makeup should complement the overall mood of the day, event, etc. She may ask if you have a mood or inpso board (or maybe she'll ask your planner) to give her an idea of the overall theme: whether its boho, classic, princess - it will help her tailor your makeup to fit nicely with the overall scheme.
Finally, you should be comfortable! If you're not used to wearing heavy makeup and false eyelashes, you might feel overdone or be worrying about your makeup or eyelashes coming off throughout the day (this is me!). Conversely, if you feel more comfortable with more makeup, you may be self-conscious if you're wearing less than what you would on a day-to-day basis. A good makeup artist will strive to understand where you fall on that spectrum to find a happy medium so that you look and feel like the best version of you without worrying about your makeup all day.
Reason numero tres: Finally, who doesn't want glowing skin?? This comes down to ingredients more often than not. The right makeup artist will know that products containing sunscreen (or minerals/ingredients found in sunscreen such as zinc) are a no-no when it comes to photos. Sunscreen, while definitely a YES on a daily basis, is bad for photos because it does it's job: it reflects sunlight and this shows up in your photos as super white, blown-out faces. Your face will be white and lack details, while your super handsome S/O will be all ruggedly natural and it looks goofy, y'all.
Conversely, too much makeup with low-quality ingredients will absorb all the light, making your skin look "muddy," dull, and/or orange. A good makeup artist will use high-quality makeup that may be specifically designed for photos, thus giving you enough coverage to feel like you're putting your best face forward without compromising on that gorgeous, dewy glow in your skin.
Ladies, I hope this has been helpful. If you're looking for a great makeup artist, I HIGHLY recommend both Connie (Meraki Rose Makeup/Hamilton, MT/IG @merakirose_makeup) and Brittnee (Ethereal Hair & Makeup/Bozeman, MT/IG @etherealhairmakeup). As always, I want to be as helpful as possible, so PLEASE, if you have questions, ask away! I'll do my best to answer and if I can't, I'll direct you to someone who can :)

I heard a buzzing sound out of an open window.
Seems pretty normal ...
heard a quiet buzz getting closer and closer.
The idle sound got very quiet as
this boomerang object passed over my house.
The sky still had pink in it from sundown...H
Had one solid bright white light and green flashers on each wing.
The object was plane-like, except extra long in the front
but wings toward back of this object.
Looked between a boomerang and a triangle.
Continued to swoop toward a landing...
but turned and looped around and over my house
another 4 times.
It was not a plane because
it hummed or buzzed like a dirtbike..
I've now seen the bright green flashers
and bright solid light in the entire valley
randomly since last winter.
Has a distinct hum/buzz sound.
Are these drones?

Animal Blood Wine! Dogs and Cats Living Together! Mass Hysteria!
We live in a golden age of information, a global communications network allowing the people of this planet to share brave new ideas and crucial information—like the breaking news that Arby's now offers a "meat mountain" of eight kinds of meat and two types of cheese on a bun.
So maybe we don't always use the Internet to bring down dictators and protest police brutality. The dog days of summer do not facilitate heavy thinking. Hot August weather is for taking refuge on the floor next to an AC vent or in a glass of chilled white wine. (Would people so eagerly dump ice water over their heads for charity in February?)
But sometimes the inter-webs take a mental vacation too. That's how everyone ends up talking about the animal blood in Two-Buck Chuck.
Of course, there is no blood in Chuck, more formally known as Charles Shaw, the value-priced brand sold at Trader Joe's. But that didn't stop the Huffington Post from recently suggesting there is in a post that asked how the wine could be so cheap.
It answered its own question by quoting a three-year-old post by a retailer who claimed Chuck's owner, Bronco Wine Co., uses mechanical harvesters that yank off branches and anything on the vines—grapes, bugs and nesting birds too. "Everything, and I do mean everything (including all those unripe grapes, rotten grapes, leaves, stems, birds, rodents and insects) gets tossed into the crusher and transferred to large tanks to ferment." He said the wine was doctored post-fermentation with sugar to mask the taste.
If you know wine, you could smell the problems with this story. Bronco buys much of the wine in Chuck on the bulk market, taking advantage of oversupply to secure low prices. Mechanical harvesters are built to gently vibrate branches until grapes drop off. Bronco's winery is not picturesque, but it's undoubtedly clean—an industrial facility of gleaming stainless steel tanks. And adding sugar post-fermentation? Illegal in most wine regions, including California.
Bronco owner Fred Franzia (read our 2006 profile) is not a pillar of vinous virtue—in 1993, he pleaded guilty to passing off cheaper grapes as more expensive Zinfandel. But he's smart and has lawyers. The story was taken down. The retailer apologized, saying his words had been in jest.
So why did this story spread? Franzia's reputation helped, but rumors usually catch fire if they confirm some preconceived notion. And some people suspect there's something phony about wine, even those who occasionally drink it.
"It's booze," they say. "Anyone who pays over $10 a bottle is a sucker." Ironically, the same people say, "No good wine can cost just $2.99. What's really in it?"
Similarly, since Rudy Kurniawan's conviction, several stories have speculated that counterfeit wine is rampant. One wire service estimated that 20 percent of wine on sale worldwide is fake. Really? August also often brings articles about how people can't really taste the difference between cheap and expensive wine or that "Wine Tasting Is Junk Science." All of this is meant to tell you, wine-loving reader, to stop taking wine so seriously. Don't be a snob.
How do you answer that? Because it's nearly impossible to explain to someone what Champagne tastes like or how the rocky slate of a German hillside can shape a glass of fermented grape juice.
The best response is probably to say, "Yeah, you're right. It's just booze. But you know, the birds really add some flavor."
