Must do, but do it early or late in the day. This is iconic and viewing from a distance is not the same. Walk where history is under your feet, just be careful as the marble under your feet can be slippery
What can you say at the sight of this wonder of art who stands under blue sky, like a giant cornerstone to human evolution, remind us the greatness mankind can achieve when look deep at the spiritual needs of the human beings, and form them in a temple who represents the constant battle towards a higher purpose in life.
A world-class monument located in the Athens Acropolis which is under reconstruction right now.
Just one of the structures at the Acropolis, it is certainly the most recognizable, again, if you visit here, you must also visit the new Acropolis museum at the bottom of the hill and the British Museum in London.
The Parthenon at the Acropolis in Athens is a must see attraction full of ancient history and views. Where comfortable shoes as there is a climb up the top of the mountain.
The Parthenon (/ˈpɑːrθəˌnɒnˌ -nən/; Ancient Greek: Παρθενών; Modern Greek: Παρθενώνας, Parthenónas) is a former temple,[4][5] on the Athenian Acropolis, Greece, dedicated to the goddess Athena, whom the people of Athens considered their patron. Construction began in 447 BC when the Athenian Empire was at the peak of its power. It was completed in 438 BC although decoration of the building continued until 432 BC. It is the most important surviving building of Classical Greece, generally considered the zenith of the Doric order. Its decorative sculptures are considered some of the high points of Greek art. The Parthenon is regarded as an enduring symbol of Ancient Greece, Athenian democracy and western civilization,[6] and one of the world's greatest cultural monuments. To the Athenians who built it, the Parthenon and other Periclean monuments of the Acropolis, were seen fundamentally as a celebration of Hellenic victory over the Persian invaders and as a thanksgiving to the gods for that victory.[7] The Greek Ministry of Culture is currently carrying out a programme of selective restoration and reconstruction to ensure the stability of the partially ruined structure.[8]
The Parthenon itself replaced an older temple of Athena, which historians call the Pre-Parthenon or Older Parthenon, that was destroyed in the Persian invasion of 480 BC. The temple is archaeoastronomically aligned to the Hyades.[9] Like most Greek temples, the Parthenon served a practical purpose as the city treasury.[10][11] For a time, it served as the treasury of the Delian League, which later became the Athenian Empire. In the final decade of the sixth century AD, the Parthenon was converted into a Christian church dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
After the Ottoman conquest, it was turned into a mosque in the early 1460s. On 26 September 1687, an Ottoman ammunition dump inside the building was ignited by Venetian bombardment. The resulting explosion severely damaged the Parthenon and its sculptures. From 1800 to 1803,[12] Thomas Bruce, 7th Earl of Elgin removed some of the surviving sculptures with the alleged permission of the Ottoman Empire.[citation needed] These sculptures, now known as the Elgin Marbles or the Parthenon Marbles, were sold in 1816 to the British Museum in London, where they are now displayed. Since 1983 (on the initiative of Culture Minister Melina Mercouri), the Greek government has been committed to the return of the sculptures to Greece.[13]
Long walk to the top! It's beautiful to go up but try to make the hike towards night as close as possible. It was insanely hot when I went mid June
This is a must! It's a journey to the top but once you get there is a amazing view over the city. You can walk around, take pictures.

The must-see site of Athens this is the crowning glory of the Acropolis complex. It gets very very busy so beware. Unless you arrive first thing in the morning there is no way to avoid this. Interesting information panels on the northern side detail the restoration efforts over the years.
Amazing. Go sans tour group so you're free to stay up there, roam around and take pictures as you wish. (Then, get close to a tour group to hear about it.)
I don't know if they're always working on the Parthenon, but there was scaffolding when I went, which was a little disappointing with pictures. But, it was still amazing.
Wear shoes with good traction! I fell down some steps and hurt myself because of the slick walkways covered in sand.
If you're in Athens, Greece then the Parthenon is a must! You can't be in here and not visit it. Just be careful when going up, it's really slippery as they have marble floors. Enjoy! Yiamas!

There are several sites tio see in the acropolis complex. If you start here, at the Parthenon, your ticket is valid for entry to hear other sites.
My only suggestions are: hire a guide who can explain the history (if you don't feel like reading its history before you visit the place) and bring water if you visit this place during Summer.
The greatest and finest sanctuary of ancient Athens, dedicated primarily to its patron, the goddess Athena, dominates the centre of the modern city from the rocky crag known as the Acropolis. The most celebrated myths of ancient Athens, its greatest religious festivals, earliest cults and several decisive events in the city's history are all connected to this sacred precinct. The monuments of the Acropolis stand in harmony with their natural setting. These unique masterpieces of ancient architecture combine different orders and styles of Classical art in a most innovative manner and have influenced art and culture for many centuries. The Acropolis of the fifth century BC is the most accurate reflection of the splendour, power and wealth of Athens at its greatest peak, the golden age of Perikles.
The Parthenon on Acropolis should be at the top of the "must see" list for anyone visiting Athens, even if it's just a day trip. There is so much history on surface of the architecture and within the marvelous structure. Take time to read the historical commentary along the boundaries and embrace the surrounding view. For a moment you will be able to see what it was like to pray to the Greek gods among the clouds over the city of Athens.
Somehow always under construction and somehow still worth seeing. You're in Athens, after all.
You can't visit Athens without checking out the Parthenon. If you visit at night you will be able to see it lit up. It is a really beautiful site!
The Parthenon is located on the Acropolis on a hill that overlooks Athens. The temple was built to honor the goddess Athena Parthenos, the patron of Athens, to thank her for protecting the city during the Persian Wars. Originally designed by the famous sculptor Phidias, the Parthenon originally held all kinds of treasures, but the main attraction was a huge statue of Athena that was made out of chryselephantine also known as elephant ivory and gold. The Parthenon dates back to 447 BC, and it was actually built over another temple that is often referred to as the Pre-Parthenon.

In several other health systems there is a committee in each Hospital: the Tissue Committee. It can be argued that this is the job of the "ethics" committee, but these are being centralised without sufficient IT linkage. The UK Health Services have not been able to initiate decent IT yet. Tissue committees and audit reports on histology would have exposed Mr Butcher. We do not have good enough IT systems, and the work involved in such audits does not happen.. If we had no fault compensation the bill would have been much less, and what is to come? The Shipman and Butcher incidents are notorious now, but the iceberg of mismanagement is the real issue.
When a family member went to collect a result they were given the wrong image on a CD. There was no "critical incident" reported, no letter of apology and no recognition of the systematic failure. We debated about asking for a "report" but decided not to as we did not want a junior scapegoated. It is if you let the smaller issues slip that the larger issues rise up, tand he iceberg overturns ….
Alexandra Topping repots in the Guardian 29th April 2017: NHS pays out millions to patients of surgeon convicted of needless breast operations – Consultant Ian Stuart Paterson carried out unnecessary procedures on 10 patients but could have more than 1,000 victims
The Times:
Breast surgeon who played God may have 1,000 victims
Katie Gibbons reports in the Times: Liar betrayed patients who adored him
With nearly 20 years experience of treating breast cancer, Ian Paterson was, at the height of his career, the consultant of choice for women in the West Midlands. Adored by his patients for his charming bedside manner, he instilled confidence when they were at their most vulnerable.
A family man, with a son and twin daughters, Paterson, 59, treated thousands of women — including three generations of one family. Beneath the charisma he was an accomplished liar. Exploiting women with a family history of cancer, he used favoured phrases to convince his "ladies" to have surgery. A lump was "nasty" and "sinister" and patients who underwent breast removals were "very, very lucky".
An independent review of the Heart of England Trust in 2014 found Paterson was "charming and was much-liked by his patients" but not a team player. Former colleagues described him as "bullying and overbearing".
He grew up in Glasgow, graduated in medicine from the University of Bristol in 1981 and moved to the West Midlands. He was a regular speaker at events led by Breast Friends, a local support group for women with cancer.
After his surgical malpractice he split from his wife Louise, 54, a physiotherapist, and sold their £1.25 million home in Edgbaston.
Throughout the trial he spoke directly to the jury. With his glasses on the end of his nose, he gesticulated enthusiastically, flipping through files and using a pen like a lecturer's pointer. His contempt for the prosecution's medical expertise was obvious.
The celebrated surgeon persona was back — but only briefly. Yesterday he sobbed as each count of guilty was read out, realising that he faced a life sentence.
The Times leader: Grievous Bodily Harm – Behind an appalling story of medical malpractice lies another of failed management
First, do no harm. This fundamental principle of medicine was turned on its head by Ian Paterson, a surgeon convicted yesterday of 20 counts of "wounding with intent" and "unlawful wounding". These crimes were the tip of an iceberg of unnecessary surgery carried out over many years, mainly on women wrongly told that they were at risk of breast cancer.
Paterson's modus operandi was to intervene first and deal with the consequences later. When these consequences required further surgery, he was only too willing to perform it. He told patients that they were in mortal danger when they were not. One underwent seven operations, including a full mastectomy and breast reconstruction, for no good medical reason. Another agreed to several excruciating procedures on her nipple when all she needed was a course of antibiotics. This patient tells The Times today that by the time she was told that the operations were unnecessary she had made plans for her own funeral.
Lawyers for the ten women who testified against Paterson believe that he operated pointlessly on up to 1,500 people in all. Few families in the area of the West Midlands where he worked do not know one of his victims.
It is impossible to take in the findings of his trial without bewilderment as well as anger. He worked partly at a private hospital but, given that police believe that money was by no means his only motive, what were the others? The eight-year gap between the time when concerns about his conduct were first raised and his suspension demand the question of why was he not stopped sooner?
The answers appear to involve a culture of deference to doctors, and especially surgeons, that should long since have been consigned to history. It appears to have survived in the Heart of England Foundation Trust (Heft) that paid Paterson's £100,000 NHS salary, and to have enabled him to violate guidelines, laws and patients with impunity.
This was an extreme but not an isolated case of a medical professional with a God complex. Good surgeons are team players who are not threatened by the idea of second opinions and actively encourage patients to seek them out. This one was instead found by an inquiry before his trial to be a "road block" who forced others to work round him. Even so, none of those who should have intervened to stop him emerges with any credit.
Paterson first prompted colleagues to raise concerns about his methods in 2003 when two senior NHS oncologists questioned his use of a controversial breast surgery technique known as a cleavage-sparing mastectomy that can increase the risk of cancer returning. He was allowed to continue using it. By the time of his suspension in 2011 by Heft and the private Spire hospital, where he earned extra money, he had been the subject of more than 20 staff complaints, four internal investigations and several external reviews.
A 2013 report by Sir Ian Kennedy accused Heft of concealing Paterson's malpractice with a "blanket of confidentiality". Those who threw it around the case delayed justice for patients whose lives had been upended, and must be held accountable. The patients themselves deserve compensation. A civil trial looms at which damages will be assessed. Money alone will not make whole those who Paterson wounded, but it will help. Spire and Heft should brace themselves.

To Whom It May Concern:
I have owned and hunted over English Setters for 15 years. My first, Bandit, a Ryman, was dynamite at finding birds, but was a self hunter that I was never able to fully control. A regret, as shed have been a star had I been able to adequately balance her ability with proper discipline. The second, Radar, a Llewellyn, is currently 9, a great affectionate pet, fun to hunt with, much more manageable than Bandit, but lacks a bit of her sheer talent (much more staunch on point, however). When Bandit died 2 ½ years ago, I postponed looking for a replacement, waiting for the right timing to bring a third back into the house (my wife has a Samoyed).
In February of 08, I was casually perusing some of the gun dog pages on the net and did a quick search for field Gordons and Irish Setters, thinking that I might like something different on the next go-round. As chance would have it, I stumbled across Wild Acreage, Lord Bond Gordon Setters, just 15 minutes from home, and advertising puppies. I wasnt in the market for a new pup just yet, but brought the idea home as a litmus test. My wife agreed that to look wouldnt hurt. We made an appointment to visit the kennel and view a brief expose of the two dogs currently in residence, Spirit (now several weeks pregnant) and Fire. Spirit being the dam of Fire, a pup held over from a previous litter for a hunting companion and future breeding. Immediately, we were taken by the sociability of the dogs. Outside the temperature was about -5°F and very windy, not pleasant hunting conditions. That however, didnt cool either dogs desire to put on a show. I was impressed by the desire, ability to locate birds, staunch point, high tail and willingness to retrieve. Bear in mind that Fire was only 7 months old at the time. We placed a deposit on a pup from the upcoming litter before we left. Incidentally, Spirit won a hunting contest the very next day, claiming all 4 of her birds in under 5 minutes!
Our pup, Winger, arrived in mid May and has been a joy ever since. The desire we observed in both Spirit and Fire are very evident in Winger. She came home at 7 weeks and pointed her first bird, a quail, at 9 weeks,,, yes weeks. And it wasnt a fluke. I repeated the exercise, even hiding the birds in grass where they werent visible. She quartered in from down wind as if she were a seasoned veteran. I was so stunned, I forgot to take pictures. Over the next several months, she proved to me again and again that we were on to something special with this new pup. She learned everything very quickly. By mid summer, she would reliably come when called, respond to the whistle as a range control, obey the whoa command and point & hold birds (trap-released pigeons) to the flush.
Last fall we enjoyed our first hunting season. With a little help from older sister Radar, Winger learned quickly range in the grouse woods. While some puppy exuberance over ran and flushed some birds wild, she did remarkably well for an 8 month old puppy.
In addition to the drive in the field, Winger has proven to be an excellent house pet. She has been very easy to house break and rarely gets into things she knows she shouldnt.
Im looking forward to next season and have never regretted our spur-of-the-moment decision to make a Lord Bond Gordon a family member.

Femtosecond Two-Pulse Cross Correlation in Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes: Evedence of Intersubband Transitions and Role of G-Band-Assisted Transitions
By femtosecond pump-probe absorption spectroscopy we demonstrated intersubband and phonon-assisted transitions in single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). After resonant excitations of specific tube types, electrons are promoted from the ground state to the second excitonic state (EX2) in PLV-prepared SWNTs or to vibrational excited levels of the first excitonic state (EX1) in HiPco-prepared SWNTs. At time-zero delay a [1 + 1] resonant cross-correlation due to short lifetimes of higher excited states or phonon modes can be observed. These results suggest that intersubband transitions between the excitonic states in SWNTs are allowed. The interpretation of the temporal profiles at pump/probe combinations implies that the G-band mode, which is known to have a high Raman intensity, plays an important role for the interpretation of both femtosecond cross-correlation measurements and photoluminescence spectra.

To venture outside the world of recreational diving requires training and equipment beyond the scope of that learned in recreational scuba diving courses. The PADI Tec Deep program is split into five courses which lead you from entry level technical diving through to a no depth limits trimix certification. The level of certification you wish to obtain is governed solely by your requirements.
The Tec 50 course enables the diver to conduct gas-switch extended decompression dives using two decompression gases of up to 100 percent oxygen to a depth of 50 meters. The course consists of self study followed by an evening of academic work, an evening pool session and three open water dives conducted over two days. The last dive can be conducted on trimix if required.
To enroll in the Tec 50 you need to:
- Be a minimum of 18 years of age.
- Be certified as a Tec 45 diver or provide a qualifying certification from another training organization. For the purposes of this level, a qualifying technical certification is one that qualifies the student to make decompression dives to 45 metres using air, nitrox and oxygen using open circuit, double cylinder scuba equipment.
- Be certified as a PADI Rescue Diver or provide a qualifying certification from another training organization. For this course, a qualifying certification is proof of training in diver rescue. Students who meet this prerequisite through a qualifying certification must provide proof of training in CPR and First Aid within the previous two years.
- Have a minimum of 100 logged dives, of which at least 20 dives were made with nitrox deeper than 18 metres, and have at least 15 dives deeper than 30 metres.
Certification is included in the course. Tec Deep Manual, equipment hire, diving fees, transport, accommodation and gas fees are not included.

15 Delicious Disneyland Dishes You Can Make at Home
When I think about a trip to Disneyland, I don't merely think of Mickey, Minnie, thrill rides, countless smiles and crazy fun. I also think about about ALL THE FOODS that we all love to get into our bellies. Nom, nom and yes, nom. At Disneyland, there's no thing as a diet. There are many wonderful temptations within their huge selection of culinary offerings – both highfalutin and humble – throughout their two parks and three hotels. To help you get a taste of Disneyland between visits, we've got 15 Disneyland foods you can make in the comfort of your home (bonus: no lines!).
Pro tip: Did you know that if you swing by City Hall at the end of Main Street, you can ask to see their recipe book? Then they'll make a copy of the recipe for your fav treat to take home.
1. Charred Nebraska Corn Chowder: When we go to Disneyland, we often stay at the Grand California Hotel. Not just for the comfy rooms and stunning arts and crafts lobby, but for easy access to the Storytellers Café and their killer corn chowder. It's creamy, rich and worth every calorie, and you can make it at home with this recipe from the Disney Food Blog. (Photo via Disney Parks)
2. Beignets: Those Mickey-shaped beignets served up at Mint Julep Bar… they are GOOD, all caps GOOD. Also fluffy, sugary and totally worth waiting in line for. Disneyland even has a couple of twists on the New Orleans' staple. You can make your own Pumpkin Beignets (that are served up at the fancy-pants Club 33) or their seasonal Gingerbread Beignets (bookmark this recipe for the holidays).
3. Lobster Rolls: Your taste buds will be transported to New England when you bite into one of these creamy and decedent lobster rolls at the Harbour Galley in Critter Country. You can make your own at home with this recipe from Disney Parks.
4. Matterhorn Macaroon: This isn't just any old macaroon — this is an epic tower of yumminess. The Matterhorn Macaroon can be made easily at home; the big difference between your standard macaroon is the height and the addition of snow, aka white chocolate. You can conquer this delish mountain yourself with this Disneyland-inspired recipe.
5. S'mores Bake: The S'mores Bake, served up in a large metal pan, was a beloved staple at the oh-so-missed Big Thunder Ranch (the popular family-style BBQ joint recently closed to make way for Star Wars land). At least we can keep the Big Thunder memories alive with this recipe for their S'mores Bake.
6. Red's Apple Freeze: There is srsly nothing better on a hot Anaheim day than a Red's Apple Freeze from the Cozy Cone in California Adventure. It's so chill and yummy. For those hot I-miss-Disneyland-so-much days at home, this recipe is a must.
7. Safari Skewer:Bengal BBQ is a fab place to get a quick bite in Adventureland. Along with their delish Banyan Beef Skewers and Chieftain Chicken Skewer, their Safari Skewer, or bacon-wrapped asparagus, is a must. And they're simple to make at home (as evidenced by this copycat recipe).
8. Churros: The Churros at Disneyland have a cult-like following, and for good reason — they are DELICIOUS. If you find yourself cravin' them at home, whip up your own via this recipe from the Disney Doctor. Don't forget the chocolate dipping sauce. Yummers!
9. Dole Whip Float: The Enchanted Tiki Room is a place to rest, relax, visit with Jose, Pierre, Michael and Fritz and last but not least enjoy a Dole Whip! You can make your own Dole Whip Float at home with this simple recipe. (Photo via Disney Parks)
10. Monte Cristo: Oh, the Monte Cristo — it's not healthy, or low on calories, fats or carbs, but it's so, so good! If you've feasted on this decadent sandwich at the Blue Bayou or Cafe Orleans, then you probably crave it every now and again while in the real world. Thankfully, you can make it at home with this recipe from Disney's D23.
11. Trader Sam's Panko-Crusted Chinese Long Beans: You know what's so cool? Trader Sam's at the Disneyland Hotel. This bar is made to look exactly like an old school tiki dive bar (with better drinks and way better food). One of the highlights on the menu are their Panko-Crusted Chinese Long Beans with Sriracha Mayonnaise, which go so well with a Krakatoa Punch, Shipwreck on the Rocks or a Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Rum. You can make your own enchanted long beans via D23's recipe here.
12. Loaded Baked Potato Soup: Talk about comfort foods: The Loaded Baked Potato Soup at the Carnation Café is so comfy, you'll want to curl up and take a nap after a bowl. It's creamy, rich and deliciously old-school. Disney Parks shared the recipe, so you can make it at home (which makes that post soup snooze doable).
13. Hungry Bear Cupcakes: Winnie the Pooh would be so into these Hungry Bear Cupcakes (and we are too). They're delicious and adorable, and luckily Disney Parks shared a version of the recipe for you to bake this sweetness at home.
14. Veggie Tater Bake from Flo's V8 Cafe: Instead of a corn dog or turkey leg, having a Veggie Tater Bake from Flo's in Cars Land is a way more healthy option (especially if you're a vegetarian). You can make your own with this recipe direct from Disneyland!
14. Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie from Flo's V8 Cafe: After feasting on their Roast Beef & Cheddar, Turkey Dip or their healthy Veggie Tater Bake (above), you HAVE to get one of Flo's Signature Seasonal Fruit Pie-O-Rama, like the strawberry-rhubarb pie that's often on the menu. If it's not, make it via this recipe from Disneyland.

Software drives businesses today. This is a fact not lost on individuals and companies attempting to earn a profit, make a name for themselves, or simply get things done. As a result, the job outlook for software developers will be much sunnier than prospects for many other occupations—creating massive opportunities for this business idea well into the future. In fact, it won't take you long to find a good-paying software development project as a side business idea on sites like Upwork, Guru.com, and Freelancer. LinkedIn also recently launched their brand new freelancing platform, ProFinder which has a dedicated section just for hiring talented software developers.
Sole Proprietorship: The least formal structure of all — if you're doing business on your own, you're automatically seen as a sole proprietorship. There's no need to file anything with the state, except perhaps a DBA (if you want to operate under a name aside from your own legal name). The main problem with this structure is that there's nothing shielding you from business liability.
This is a boom or bust business. One relative went into this business out of college and just couldn't get any momentum going. Whereas a friend of mine who had sold his retail store business has quickly become hugely successful at commercial real estate. My friend is highly charismatic, he could carry on a conversation with a tree, and he is always meeting new people. He also worked for an established broker for a year or so before going on his own, which is a typical path in this business. While it can be difficult to build momentum initially, the potential upside is much higher than selling residential real estate.

If you have a way with words and know how to make the keyword-friendly, beautifully designed, SEO-optimized landing pages, why not charge other companies for your services and turn it into a money-making side business idea? Even a short landing page is worth a couple hundred bucks in most cases, and so much more if you know how to pitch your prospects well. If you want to get started with your business idea of becoming a landing page specialist or freelance copywriter, check out Len Smith and Sean Kaye's awesome course on Udemy, Copywriting Secrets: How to Write Copy That Sells.
Enterprise Holdings, the parent company of Alamo, Enterprise, and National Car Rental services hires home-based customer service reps, escalation support reps, reservation and sales reps, and bilingual reservation and sales reps.
Sole Proprietorship: Consider this the path of least resistance, but know that it comes at a price. If you're operating without any partners and haven't registered a formal business structure, you'll automatically be classified as a sole proprietor and have no liability protection whatsoever. No need to file articles of incorporation/organization, but you might benefit from filing a DBA.
If you're thinking about starting a business, you likely already have an idea of what you want to sell, or at least the market you want to enter. Do a quick search for existing companies in your chosen industry. Learn what current brand leaders are doing, and figure out how you can do it better. If you think your business can deliver something other companies don't (or deliver the same thing, but faster and cheaper), you've got a solid idea and are ready to create a business plan.
#46 – Crawford Media Services hires independent contractors to carry out metadata writing, SE optimization, and tagging. However, most of their projects are seasonal or occasional. Pay can go up to $18 per hour depending on the task.
Check into legal barriers for your business. Some areas have certain rules and regulations for home based businesses, and you need to check into those at your town's city hall before investing much time or money in your business. Some areas just make home based business owners carry a business license and nothing else. Not knowing about these regulations can be devastating to your business.[3]
LLCs are considered "pass-through" entities and do not ordinarily pay income tax directly. Nevertheless, some states require certain LLCs to report income for informational purposes. Ohio requires multi-member LLCs to report income and withhold income from members residing out of state.

I like the vintage clothing business because you are not competing head to head with all the retailers and online sites selling new goods. Furthermore, you can have high margins. I would look to at least double my money on any vintage clothing that I buy, and I would try to pay for items with store credit not cash, as much as possible.
Define your management and financial structure: the operating agreement should define how your LLC is going to be run and how the finances will work – including who will share in the profits and what will happen in the event of a disagreement. If you do not have an operating agreement, you and your partners will have a much more difficult time resolving financial or management disagreements. [20]
This article is Part 1 of a 2-part series focusing on selling a business. Sales of business are strong! In recent years, privately owned business account for almost 70% of these transactions. Most business owners do not have prior experience selling …
A few years ago, I overheard a conversation in a gym about a fellow who was planning on starting an Irish pub, of which there are close to million (well almost a million) in Boston, but then changed his mind and opened a pub focusing on craft beers. It was wildly successful! In addition to being a unique idea at the time, he also chose an excellent location and developed a solid food menu. Unless your overhead is extremely low, you are probably going to need to serve food to make a go of this business, so yes you can be extremely successful–but it is no small undertaking.
If you have the gift of gab, public speaking is a worthwhile side business idea for you to pursue. Many authors, medical practitioners, scientists, artisans, politicians, and other subject matter experts earn extra income by delivering speeches, seminars, and presentations. Professional motivational speakers earn an average annual salary of around $90,000 with just that portion of their income, making this a very realistic side business idea while you continue practicing your craft.
Suppose I was to tell you that I would pay you up to $15 to process rebates from various products and companies. I would send you a list, you proces the rebates and you get paid twice a month. All you need is a computer, internet access and our training program. Would you be interested? Chances are you would be! I know I would be too! Lucky for you that I stumbled across some crazy back door information about the rebate processors position that's going to knock your socks off. Trust me when I say you'll be so thankful that I go to the bottom of this opportunity.
Freelance writing is one of the most flexible of the non-phone options, and it's an easy field to break into without any experience at all! This is also an industry that can pay well, especially if you forgo content sites (such as the ones below) and work on finding private clients that will agree to the rates you set. The content sites don't pay that well, but they can still help you get valuable writing experience and earn a weekly paycheck.
Though certainly not for everyone, recycling the containers from products left strewn around on the ground can become a surprisingly decent side business idea if you put in the time. Attending events like street fairs and outdoor concerts can be a great starting place. Put on a clean shirt, jeans, apply your sunscreen, grab a cheap pick-up tool like this one, sturdy plastic bags, and you can sell them for upwards of $4.00/pound on eBay.
Build a trusting customer base. By adjusting to your customers' needs and consistently providing good services or products, you get the best form of free advertising: word of mouth recommendations. Your customers will recommend you to their friends if they are truly satisfied with your work, and your business will grow accordingly. You'll have get some customers coming back for repeat service and build up a consistent revenue pipeline.
Competition isn't just about the goods or services themselves. It is also about your social and environmental credibility. Consumers are increasingly conscious of the need to show that your business is concerned with labor conditions and isn't damaging the environment. Certification endorsements from reputable organizations, such as labels and stars, can reassure customers that your product or service is more aligned with their values than one lacking the certification.
There are basically two businesses here and I would tend to focus on one or the other. One is providing medical help such as skilled nurses. The other is providing senior companions. Both can be great businesses with long term revenue streams and high demand.

Maybe this is an obvious choice for a small town business opportunity, but sometimes the obvious answers are the most overlooked. Though a grocery store might not sound like the sexiest business choice, it is one of our most practical recommendations and one that your whole town is guaranteed to need. Like many small town business ideas, there are many directions you can take this business in. Perhaps your town already has a local grocery store, in that case, opening a specialty food shop might be the right call. If your town already has that as well, what about a wine or cheese shop? Though you might be thinking, "how much wine or cheese can one small town consume?" Remember, when serving a small community, options are limited, which can open up an opportunity for you to serve residents in more ways than one. Consider opening a wine and cheese shop combination. Just make sure not to bite off more than you can chew. Being a few things to a few people is ok, but don't try to be everything to everyone.

You would think that you get your electrical contractor license and the money would rain on you forever more! I have been shocked with the prices some electricians have tried to charge me. Then again, I called back a more reasonably priced electrician who had done some work for me a couple years ago and he told me he went out of business for lack of work. This goes to remind you that in any business there is always some risk.
There's no denying the global marketplace is growing. All that cross-cultural communication is creating an increasing need for translators. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Outlook Handbook, the hiring of interpreters and translators is projected to grow by 46 percent by 2022, much faster than the average for all occupations. This means it's a big business opportunity for entrepreneurs who can bring foreign-language speakers together with businesses in need.
Build your own social following and create a personal brand for yourself like Matt Nelson, founder of WeRateDogs has done (thus growing his following to more than 2.8 Million people), and countless opportunities will come your way for turning this side business idea into a full-time business.
Though this might seem like a very niche market for a small town business, the reality is that the vaping industry (and community) is currently exploding in the U.S. To give you a sense of how big the vaping market is, Quartz reported that Yelp has 10,591 "vape shops" currently listed in their database. That's a huge number, especially considering that the rate of traditional smoking continues to steadily decline. Depending on where you are in the country, however, due to state regulations, opening a vape shop will be easier in some states than in others. So make sure to check out your state's laws before pursuing this business idea. Resources such as VapeMentors can also help guide you when getting your business up and running.
"Innovative companies aren't going it alone," the report states. "Instead, they're pushing the boundaries of innovation both inside and outside their organizations by breaking down traditional barriers, tapping a much wider ecosystem for ideas, insights, talent, and technology, and incorporating the customer throughout the innovation process."
The biggest gaming companies spend millions developing their latest offerings and lots more money promoting them. Can you compete? Yes, you can. A recent college grad we hired had just launched her own game, and was getting hundreds of thousands of downloads. Sure, it's a whole additional level to get people to start paying for your games, but it can be done.
A while ago, I argued the best company for me isn't necessarily the best company for you. I still stand by that statement. But many of you have been pounding at my email door and practically twisting my arm asking me for my personal favorite legitimate work at home companies. I was apprehensive about revealing this information because I really want you guys to take action on any legitimate work at home opportunities. But after giving it some thought, it made sense for me to provide you with a few of the ones I do actively work with, to get your started. But keep in mind I still believe that you should make decisions based on what's best for you. So with that said, check out my latest video on one of my favorite BBB listed work at home companies. I've been working with this company for years and have made some great money and also acquired a lot of free gadgets such as TVs, Ipods, and much more. (The gadget thing will become a lot clearer when you watch the video.) In either case this company has consistently made me money and has a good standing among work at home seekers that are smart enough to join the company and take advantage of all the ways to earn with them. Hopefully you'll enjoy the video and will decide to join the company I've recommended.
There are many scams out there that will promise you tons of money and financial stability from home. Do not fall for these ploys. The best home-based business is the one you start with your own mind, heart and hands.
Resource Recommendation: Since this step can have such serious repercussions if it's not done correctly, we highly recommend investing a few minutes to read through our business structure comparison guide before deciding on one. Then, when it comes time to officially form your business, you can either do so on your own or use an online incorporation service. Take a look at our top 7 incorporation services for an in-depth discussion of our favorite providers!

Over 55 and looking for a mortgage that meets all your borrowing needs? Read on to find out more.
If you're 55 years or older and interested in taking out a home loan, the good news is that it is possible to take out a mortgage with many leading Australian lenders. However, you will need to go the extra mile to prove your ability to repay the loan, and there are a few risks you should be aware of before taking on any debt.
Why might I need a mortgage?
There are a few different reasons why you might need to take out a home loan as a senior, including:
- Buying a home. You don't need to be a young 20- or 30-year-old to be looking for a mortgage to buy your own home. After decades of renting, you may have decided it's time to settle somewhere more permanent.
- Buying an investment property. If you've got spare capital that you'd like to invest, purchasing an investment property could provide ongoing rental income and the potential for capital gains.
- Buying a place in a retirement village. You may want to purchase a unit in a seniors village to provide a comfortable retirement. However, you should be aware that many lenders are reluctant to accept homes in over-55 villages as security for a loan, as they are concerned that such properties may be difficult to sell if this ever becomes necessary.
Looking for a home loan? Speak to a mortgage broker below
A mortgage broker can help steer you in the right direction so that you pick the right loan for you. Click 'Enquire Now' to fill out a form and speak to a mortgage broker today.
Is there a maximum mortgage age limit?
No. There is technically no maximum age limit for when an Australian can apply for a home loan. There are also a number of protections in place under the Age Discrimination Act 2004 and the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009 to make sure lenders don't discriminate against borrowers due to their age.
So you could, theoretically, take out a mortgage regardless of whether you're 18 or 80. Of course, things are a little different in reality. Lenders have a responsibility to ensure that they only approve home loans to applicants who can afford the repayments without experiencing financial hardship, so older applicants will find it much more difficult to obtain home loan approval than their younger counterparts.
For example, if you're 65 years old and you apply for a mortgage with a 30-year loan term, the lender will have serious doubts about your ability to service the loan for the next three decades.
In recent years, as lenders have tightened their belts following the Global Financial Crisis, some have begun imposing age restrictions on specific mortgage products. With this in mind, it's worth checking with your mortgage broker to find out which lenders offer loans suitable for your needs.
What do I need to do to take out a mortgage if I'm over 55?
If you're over 55 and applying for a home loan, you'll need to provide a greater amount of information regarding your current and future financial position than younger borrowers. This simply reflects the fact that the older you are and the nearer you are to retiring, the less likely you are to be able to fully repay the money you borrow.
To minimise the level of risk, and to also satisfy responsible lending obligations, a lender will ask you to supply detailed information about your employment and the income you earn from all sources. The usual information about any other outstanding debts and your ongoing expenses is required as well.
You'll also need to have an exit strategy, which is basically a plan outlining what will happen to your loan when you retire. The lender will need to be completely satisfied that you will be able to continue making repayments even when you are no longer working full-time. Simply selling the property won't be accepted as an exit strategy. Instead, you may need to use your superannuation payout or the sale of an investment property to fund your exit strategy.
Some lenders might also shorten the maximum loan term for older borrowers to ensure that you will repay the loan before the standard retirement age of 65.
What are the best mortgages for over 55s?
There is no single home loan product that can be classified as the "best" mortgage for over 55s, as your financial position, repayment capacity and loan purpose can all affect your choice of mortgage. However, there are a few key features to look out for that can help you find the seniors home loan that's right for you:
- Low interest rate. Just like any other type of home loan, the interest rate that applies to an over-55s mortgage has a big impact on how much you will have to pay over the life of the loan.
- Minimal fees. Hidden fees and charges can also have an impact on the total cost of your loan. Keep an eye out for application and establishment fees, settlement fees, ongoing fees, redraw fees and discharge fees.
- Additional repayment flexibility. A loan that allows you to make unlimited additional repayments means that you can pay down your debt quicker and minimise the interest you pay, which is especially important if retirement is just around the corner.
- Offset account. Home loans with offset accounts also allow you to reduce the interest payments on your loan, helping you pay it off sooner.
For more details on the features you should look for in an over-55s home loan, check with a mortgage broker and ask for advice tailored to your needs and situation.
What are the risks of mortgages for seniors?
There's always a certain level of risk attached to taking on debt, but the closer you are to retiring and no longer earning a regular income, the greater the amount of risk. Getting into financial strife when you're past the age of 55 can cause all manner of problems at a time when many of us would rather be winding down and looking to relax. If you get in over your head, you could end up having to extend your working life just to get your debt under control. Make sure you have a reliable exit strategy in place to protect against unexpected complications.
It's also important to be very wary if you're buying a home in a seniors village or retirement village. In some cases, when you purchase in these villages you buy a building but not the land it sits on, so the developer owns the appreciating asset (the land) while you own a home that depreciates. And if the developer decides that they want to use the land for something else, you could be forced to move out. Units in these developments can sometimes also be drastically overpriced, so it's essential to seek independent financial advice before committing any funds.

Getting a bite to eat? You probably open up an app and check out pictures and reviews of the restaurant. Thinking of doing some shopping? Take out that smart phone and look at images of what the local boutique has to offer. Scheduling a doctor's office check up? You can browse through the staff photos to see who is taking new patients. Images on the screen, whether on your laptop or on your phone, help to create visual representations of businesses, whether you are a freelance writer, a fitness professional, or a nonprofit organization. In order to make the best decisions, we all want to see photos, lots and lots of good photos.
Having a set of professional headshots to add to your social media can add a fresh perspective to your online presence. I've worked with illustrators, healthcare providers, artisans, and burgeoning fitness professionals to help them create a gallery of bright, vivid, and visually attractive photos to bring some fun to their websites and social media.

Message from president Jay Olson
October 9, 2018
So much has happened since our meeting in June. There have been vacations, moves, camps, weddings, memorials, VST Indigenous Studies Program and other summer schools, General Council, mission partnership trips in B.C. and beyond, and so much more.
Serious matters have challenged British Columbians to the limits such as the worst wildfire season on record, the ongoing opioid crisis and a housing situation that leaves far too many people priced out of a basic human right. Many around the Conference are now engaged in conversations about SOGI123 and the needs of some of the most vulnerable and marginalized children in the province today. There are serious pipeline debates, a devastating report from the U.N. on climate change and decisions to be made about our processes for participating in democracy, as we know it.
Read Jay's full letter here.

Under Dressed
I have been feeling a bit under dressed lately. Can you imagine that? Err ok you don't have to answer this.
lately I am beginning to attend functions only for ladies. And when the ladies who are seriously covering up have parties, they go all out with blink blinks and make up and the whole thing. They are not arabs by the way. Just a bunch of God fearing muslimahs.
And man, I am feeling a bit under dressed. :P

didn't you blog about this before?
1. Accessorize - necklace jurai2, bley belit kat pinggang juga. Earings besar bagak.. can't imagine you pakai earings bagak tho. Bracelets and anklets.. oh kat mydin ada jual pukal.
2. Baju? keluarkan baju miang? tubes? selendang pun bley buat jadi cover, letak atas bahu. Or ikat kat pinggang. (I'm into belly-related erotica now hahaha)
3. Rambut. Ini perlu bantuan rasanya. Nampak org buat sanggul tinggi pastu cucuk segala macam benda.
4. Add blink blink onto selendang/abaya. Jahit sendiri ler. Kan ada pre-made blink blink kat kedai jahit. Patch je kat selendang/abaya.
Hmm.... kalau zaman sekolah ni harus dah main dress up ramai2.

aliya - this group is very strict i suppose. strictly no music. tazkirah lagi adalah. cuma everyone dress up aje.
rotidua - i use to wear earings sebelum ada anak kecik. then i think the fashion phased out. when it came back aku rasa macam over pulak.
again this group is srict. so baju yg terover sexy and nampak awrah between girls pun a no no. so no short skirt (kaki pun kayu balak.)
and definitely no blink blink on abaya. must be super black. blink blink can only be on the baju under the abaya.
eh with the teenage we had dressing up session. full make up gear. but girls nowadays suka jadi tomboy lah i think. no one wears long skirts and frilly dresses.

i wonder why you used figure-following instead of figure-hugging.
eh i thought the aurat between girls macam lelaki jugak, antara pusat dengan lutut only, no?

Go shopping!!! :-D Like what Sr Fareeda suggested - being stylish / fashionable doesn't necessarily mean expensive clothes. I pun dah lama tak gi such parties, so such 'fancy' clothes for hubby's eyes only. :-D But seriously, whatever you're comfortable with la. What looks good on other people might not feel / look good on you. :-D

mosh - well it is something like I love wearing kebaya which follows the figure but I don't really like to wear it tight. like that lorr
yes the gil's aurah is between navel and the knee but we dont go around swinging our breasts. This is generally because the woman have to breastfeed in front of the woman and kelonggaran ini amat memudahkan. and plus I don't feel comfortable wearing top that shows too much cleavage even among girls. sikit2 can lah. too much like Jay Lo punya infamous baju tak kot.
diana - you know pasal dah use to not wearing jilbab, i usually would wear the same clothes that I wear. And I refrain from buying short sleeve and baju yg follow shape and all. Sekali tengok depa ni bukak jilbab, hambik ko. And I though hey I don't have to deprive myself anymore. Yayyyy! hahahhaha
Tapi I guess those baju palestin/ arab yg stle maxi tu err belum lagilah I nak beli.and blink blink pun not really my style. But prolly earings and accessories.
Ini not even the fancy function. Remember even at Sis F's house? Sister Z and sis S bukan main bergaya. hahahha.

kaezrin - he he he. Tapi these are all girls function and saya nak bukak tudung. and not wear abaya. Satu hari suntuk berabaya, time to be glam.

One thing I really like staying here (among others) because of the opportunity for girls only gathering. Usually kalau among the msian ladies, they dont take off their hijab even among girls. And also because our norm is not to wear jilbab i.e. covering over our baju, we would pakai the same baju in the house and outside the house.
But over here, I have found great times with the ladies who glam up in the house. (Msians jugak sebenarnya). Somehow I can feel the sweetness of wearing hijab. Plain jane outside and all glam up inside.
That's why I said I need all the tight and ikut shape clothes so it will encourage me to wear the jilbab. Because only with tight clothes will force me to wear the jilbab. I am still not wearing jilbab all the time you see.

In the course of the life of a business, disputes are inevitable. No matter how hard you try to give good service at a reasonable price, clients will occasionally be dissatisfied. Just because a disagreement occurs, it doesn't mean you have to lose the client forever. Court battles can be costly and acrimonious, so before going into an all-out battle, you may want to consider alternate means of dispute resolution, such as mediation.
Mediation in a Commercial Context
After you attempt unsuccessfully to settle the dispute with your client, mediation is a means of continuing negotiations by bringing in a neutral outsider to assist you. Contrary to arbitration, mediation is not a binding process, which means the mediator cannot impose a deal. However, the presence of a neutral third party who is there specifically to move discussions along can significantly change the dynamics of the negotiation and hopefully bring you and your client closer to an agreement while salvaging the relationship.
By definition, mediation is voluntary, noncoercive, informal, and confidential. The idea is to move away from determining who is to blame and what went wrong, and focus on what solutions would be acceptable to both parties. By focusing the discussions on solutions, the mediator can sometimes make a significant difference.
The mediator may meet with the parties together but also privately. Sometimes, if the parties are simply too upset to be in the same room, the mediator can go back and forth between the parties to try to bring them closer together. There is no single correct way of conducting a mediation. Essentially, the mediator adapts himself or herself to your particular situation and tries to act as a facilitator.
The Mediation Agreement
Mediation is initiated by the parties who need to agree upon and draft a mediation agreement that sets out how they will proceed. The mediation agreement must contain several different elements. It should cover the logistics of the mediation, the cost sharing of the mediation, the extent of the mandate of the mediator, and the mediator's remuneration. It could also cover the use of subsequent processes if mediation is unsuccessful.
The Canadian Department of Justice offers a free online sample mediation agreement that you can use as a starting-off point, but depending on the complexity of your particular case, it may be worthwhile to consult a professional who will draft a customized agreement.
The choice of the mediator is also a key element in the eventual success of the process. Many attorneys have received special training and frequently act as mediators. Nonprofit organizations, such as the Canadian Commercial Arbitration Centre or the ADR Institute of Canada, also offer mediation services. Your ideal mediator is someone who has some knowledge of your particular industry and understands what the dispute is about.

Ex-Fort Valley State police officer arrested in sexual misconduct case
An investigation into sexual misconduct led to the arrest of a former Fort Valley State University police officer.
Wilbur Bryant, 52, turned himself in Friday at the Peach County Sheriff's Office, according to a GBI news release.
Bryant is accused of simple battery, bribery and two counts of violation of oath of office.
In April, a former student accused Bryant of sexual misconduct, which launched the GBI investigation.
Investigators concluded Bryant went to the woman's residence in uniform and made physical contact with her without the student's consent, the release stated.
He later called the woman and made "numerous explicit sexual comments," the release stated.
Bryant resigned from the university police department two days before the Peach County Sheriff's Office asked the GBI to investigate.
Bryant had a first appearance hearing Friday morning at the Peach County Courthouse before Judge David L. Mincey III of the Macon Judicial Circuit. Bond was set at $10,000.
Special conditions of bond state that Bryant should have no contact with the victim, is banned from FVSU property and events, cannot work as a law enforcement officer or security in Peach County, and cannot work elsewhere as a law enforcement officer or security without Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training Council approval, according to the bond order.
Bryant's attorney could not be reached for comment.
In May, the woman filed a lawsuit against Bryant, who was a lieutenant with campus police at the time of the lawsuit's allegations. The university and the state Board of Regents also are named in the lawsuit.
The lawsuit states that in February Bryant initially offered to make misdemeanor charges against the woman "go away if she stuck with him."
Bryant's advances escalated to offers of gifts and trips in exchange for sex in a March incident in which Bryant used a key he had access to as a campus police officer to let himself into the student's dormitory room, according to the lawsuit.
Once in the room, Bryant took the woman's foot against her will and sucked on her toes and rubbed his penis against the bottom of her foot in a grinding motion, the lawsuit states. He also allegedly tried to kiss her.
Six days after the incident, Bryant called the woman — making sexually explicit references about her, offering to help her with her misdemeanor case in exchange for sexual favors and offering her gifts and trips, the lawsuit states.
According to the lawsuit, this isn't the first time Bryant has been accused of inappropriate behavior.
He was accused of sexual harassment in 2011. He was counseled for having an inappropriate friendship with an FVSU student and for causing damage to the student's property in that same year. And he was counseled for making inappropriate and off-color remarks toward a female coworker in 2013, the lawsuit states.
Bryant was also suspended for one day for unprofessional conduct in 2014 and required to take additional training "due to his insensitive interaction with coworkers," the lawsuit states.

St. Croix Lutheran Grades 6-12 announced today that they will serve as one of more than 350 schools or churches around the world that will host Night to Shine sponsored, by the Tim Tebow Foundation simultaneously on Friday, February 10, 2017. Night to Shine is an unforgettable prom night experience, centered on God's love, for people with special needs, ages 14 and older. This worldwide movement is already set to take place next year in all 50 states and 10 countries around the world…and the numbers continue to grow!
Every guest of Night to Shine enters this complimentary event on a red carpet complete with a warm welcome from a friendly crowd and paparazzi. Once inside, guests receive the royal treatment, including hair and makeup stations, shoe shining areas, limousine rides, corsages and boutonnieres, a catered dinner, karaoke, prom favors for each honored guest and, of course, a dance floor… all leading up to the moment when each guest is crowned king or queen of the prom.
"We are honored to be able to work with so many churches across the county and around the world to impact the lives of people with special needs," said Erik Dellenback, executive director of the Tim Tebow Foundation. "After such an amazing response to the first two years of Night to Shine, our prayer is that this event will continue to change the face of Valentine's Day weekend from simply a celebration of love, to a celebration of God's love for people with special needs."
As sponsor of Night to Shine, the Tim Tebow Foundation will provide each host church with the official 2017 Night to Shine Planning Manual, the official Night to Shine Prom Kit, complete with decorations and gifts for the guests, and personalized guidance and support from a Tim Tebow Foundation staff member. The foundation also is providing financial support to hundreds of churches needing assistance in hosting the event.
During Night to Shine 2015, 44 host churches and 15,000 volunteers worked together to honor more than 7,000 kings and queens of the prom. Last February, Night to Shine 2016 saw 450% growth, reaching 32,000 honored guests in 201 host churches with 75,000 volunteers. Night to Shine 2017 promises to be the biggest event yet, with more than 350 churches already signed up to participate all around the world.

Days Gone: Everything you need to know about surviving a zombie apocalypse
Sony's post-apocalyptic open-world zombie survival game is shaping up nicely On the surface, Days Gone looks like simply another tale of zombie survival that draws upon the aesthetics of Naughty Dog's The Last of Us. It's gritty, the protagonist looks grizzled and the world bleak – there's even an air of leafy midwestern America in there to really drive the similarities home. But Days Gone is its own beast. Developed by SIE Bend Studio, Days Gone is an ambitious open-world survival title drawing more from the book of The Walking Dead than Naughty Dog's hit. Little is known about Days Gone besides its E3 2016 reveal and PS4 Pro technological showcase. Thankfully, I've trawled the net to find anything I can about Days Gone and what you can expect from it when it releases later this year. Expect more information to drop at this year's E3 in June, too.

Part razor-sharp condemnation of our modern world, and part journey through Jana Hunter's recent reidentification as "they/he," Lower Dens' The Competition utilizes the power of the dance floor to make a case for love and acceptance not just in dangerous times, but as the law of the land. It's a powerful and ultimately uplifting statement from this revered Baltimore-based band and not just the best album of their careers, but one of the most essential listens of 2019.
K. Flay took the stage at The 9:30 club crouched in the dark on top of layered rectangular platforms that illuminated as she launched into her hit "Not in California." Her setlist, which featured every song off of this year's Solutions, plus her biggest hits from 2017's Every Where Is Somewhere and 2014's Life as a Dog, mixed elements of rock, pop, and hip hop, highlighted the multifaceted nature of her career.
Singer. Guitarist. Actress. And on a nice Friday night at DC9, birthday girl.
2015's Star Wars and its 2016 follow up Schmilco delivered a shot in the arm to one of indie-rock's most lauded and revered acts: Wilco. Both were shaggier affairs then what had come before — 2011's The Whole Love, while it had its moments, was a more near-miss-than-hit power-pop extravaganza. And both showed that, at least for Wilco, smaller albums necessarily meant better albums as the band pushed into its second decade with the current, and most stable lineup in Wilco's history.
Enter Ode To Joy.
Lizzo has described her concert experience as "Church with a twerk," and her sold-out two-night stint at The Anthem in Washington, D.C. was exactly that: A spiritual love affair of self-celebration and joy.

Sandie Ferguson has a unique perspective on dental hygiene because of where she lives and the work she does. She lives in New Hazelton, has had opportunity to work at Ridge Memorial Hospital in their dental clinic, and is the owner of an independent dental hygiene practice.
Ridge Memorial is a unique hospital in that it is a not-for-profit merger between the United Church and the Northern Health Authority. The dental clinic, while not totally non-profit, has a mandate to accept the First Nations health insurance provided through the Department of Indian Affairs (DIA) and not charge any extra cost to patients. Generally speaking DIA insurance is not widely accepted due to a variety of explicit and cumbersome records keeping requirements and other regulations. For example, independent dental hygienists are unable to accept this insurance at all. The fact that the dental clinic at Ridge Memorial accepts patients with DIA insurance is a coup for the community the clinic serves.

We walk the thinnest line
Between love and hate.
A pressure inside consumes
Every thought, feeling and word;
Oblivious to the life
We thought we could endure.
Hatred fuels deep
While love continues to dance,
A hollow spasm of sorrow
Lapsed to the brink of destruction.
The past lies rightfully in the past
As the future remains a taunting vision,
Screaming for hope to one day erase
The memories of your lost devotion
The Line Between Love and Hate
We walk the thinnest line

November 15, 2017/
From Phi Nguyen. Phi, along with other advocates, community members, and lawyers, spent the last three days at Stewart Detention Center, speaking with Vietnamese Americans who have been detained by ICE, to see what relief, if any, may be available to them. Here is one of her reflections from her time with the folks who are facing deportation:
No day at Stewart is easy, but day 3 was particularly tough for me, most likely because of the cumulative effect of talking for three days to people who look like my dad, my cousins, and my uncles and who, despite being behind bars, still respectfully smile and say "Chao, Co" when they see an older Vietnamese woman. Today, I spoke to a young Vietnamese man who came to the U.S. as a refugee in 1975 when he was 1 year old. He didn't even know he wasn't a citizen until he was put in removal proceedings; and like me, his English is better than his Vietnamese. I also spoke to another Vietnamese man who owned a nail salon before ICE picked him up and jokingly asked if he could do my nails for me when I put my hands up to say goodbye (yeah, they are pretty busted). My heart breaks to know that my people with our history of war, trauma, and persecution are now being rounded up and told that they need to go back to the country that millions risked their lives to escape. But my heart is also uplifted by the resilience and scrappiness of our people and the unwillingness to go down without a fight. Over the last few days, we've heard from several detainees that the food at Stewart is terrible (potatoes all day everyday and chicken once a week) but that those who have the means to buy better meals at the commissary are sharing with their Vietnamese brothers. We also received some poems (penned in Vietnamese) from one of the detainees today. I can think of few other survival tactics that are more quintessentially Vietnamese than sharing food with our family and writing poetry.
And of course, I am so incredibly grateful to be a part of this fight with these brave, bighearted, and endlessly compassionate human beings.
