The best semester of my life Past Review
By Lily H (Performing Arts Management, University of Hartford) - abroad from 01/14/2015 to 05/02/2015 with
Regent's University London: Direct Enrollment & Exchange
This experience made me grow as a person. I have a new perspective on life. Before going to London, I only saw NYC as the greatest city. Now I'm not so sure. Going to a new country by myself was scary at first, but by the end I felt like I could conquer anything. I am completely comfortable with traveling alone now. I have gained great communication skills and appreciate life a little more.

Personal Information
|How much international exposure did you have prior to this program?
Review Your Program
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.
I loved all of my lecturers at Regents University London. They made each class engaging.
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?
I lived in a triple and was surprised to see how comfortable it was! bathrooms/showers were of hotel quality.
|* Food:
Breakfast and lunch were always fantastic. Dinner sometimes was hot or miss.
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture?
I wish I had met more English natives. I felt that the Americans were separated from the other students for the most part. However, I still made some great international friends on my own time.
* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program?
I needed a doctor's appointment and got one instantly thanks to Jonathan at Regents.
|* Safety:
I felt very safe on this campus. Security is at the front gate at all hours and only lets people in with ID cards. I felt safer here than at my home University.
|If you could do it all over again would you choose the same program?
* Money: How easily were you able to live on a student's budget?
(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost)
2.5 Living in Europe is extremely expensive. I would suggest to budget as well as you can. Transportation and food expenses add up very quickly.
|Not including program expenses, about how much money did you spend on food and other expenses each week?
|At least 20-50 pounds
|Do you have any general money-saving tips for future study abroad participants?
|Save for as long as you can!!! Also do your taxes while abroad. I received my tax refund while I was there and it really helped!
|* Did your program have a foreign language component?
Direct Enrollment/Exchange
|* Did you study abroad through an exchange program or did you directly enroll in the foreign university?
Other Program Information
* Where did you live?
Select all that apply
* Who did you live with?

|About how many local friends did you make that you will likely keep in touch with?
A Look Back
|* What did you like most about the program?
|* What could be improved?
|* What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program?
|I wish I really knew how expensive London would be. Everyone says get ready for the pound but it's hard to put it into perspective ahead of time. Also I wish I planned my travel days a head of time. Traveling gets more expensive the longer you wait. So I would suggest that you look at your spring break dates asap and start planning!
Reasons For Studying Abroad
|To help future students find programs attended by like-minded individuals, please choose the profile that most closely represents you.
The NetworkerAn active student leader, it was important for you to network abroad as well. Once overseas, you sought out student clubs, volunteered with local organizations, or attended community events. You encouraged your friends join you, and often considered how you could reflect your international experiences in a resume.

A Word From Keith
Welcome Friends
Dear Member/s,
As 2018 draws to a close we are forced to look ahead and consider where we think the Chesham & Friends will be in the future. Membership numbers have dwindled to around 400, we still have new people joining us regularly but for one reason or another we are losing quite a few too. 400 is still a good number so why have the day trips and holidays suffered this year?
On most trips we haven't been able to fulfil the minimum amount of people required to justify the cost of the coach, consequently club funds have reduced dramatically.
After having to cancel holidays this year, Jan in withdrawing from arranging them, but will still be joining us on the day trips.
None of us are getting any younger and many members have cut back on what they can do both financially and physically.
The four committee members will no longer act as 'carers', if you feel you are in this category we would appreciate it if you organised for someone to come along to look after you on the trips.
We are no longer affiliated to the National Trust as we don't comply to their rules regarding committee members, so the club is now just the Chesham & Friends, (that is all you'll need to write on your cheques to us in future), it should be said that this change won't affect yourselves in any way.
So, with the doom and gloom out of the way what does 2019 hold for us?
Membership monies of £8.00 are due for renewal running until June, we will then review to see if the club is a viable proposition.
Jan and Heather are still available for information regarding trips and theatres, they have done a wonderful job this past year.
With Christmas looming ever closer, we would like to wish you all best wishes, and a very Happy, Healthy New Year.
Hopefully see you soon.
Keith, Rome, Jan and Heather.

Well everyone it's football season in the Hollar House. Sunday, Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the men in my life are living and breathing football.
Now that I know a bunch of guys will be tailgating at my house each weekend, I know that Sundays are for 'homegating.' So today I'm going to be showing you how to get your home ready for the homegating football fans!
First thing's first: supplies. There's a Dollar General down the road from my apartment and I go to stock up on necessities. What necessities you might ask? Well, let me show you.
If you're going to have six guys hanging out all day you need toilet paper. I buy Angel Soft® Bath Tissue, 12 Family Rolls. This is located on the back wall of my Dollar General.
Two other essentials are Glad® ForceFlex® 13 Gallon and Glad® Food Bags Storage Gallon. These two items are side by side at my local Dollar General. You need strong trash bags for clean up once the big game is over and storage bags to keep the extra food safe! These were also located on the outer right aisle of my Dollar General.
A few of my other essentials are Sparkle® 6 Roll Paper Towels, Kingsford® Charcoal 15.4lb for the grill, and Glad® Food Containers Family Size. I prefer going to Dollar General before the big game so I can be prepared for the madness and not have to run out in the middle of the big game.
After getting the essentials you come home and clean. Luckily our apartment is small and so easy to clean. I also make sure there's plenty of seating around the TV, so everyone can sit and enjoy the game.
Next there's set-up. I hate drink rings so I put out coasters, put extra toilet paper in the bathroom, and a paper towel on every surface. If there's a spill, you need paper towels close! After you set up you can prepare the snacks, put up decorations (if you have them) and wait for your fellow fans to arrive.
Once everyone leaves your homegating party, you can use Glad® ForceFlex® 13 Gallon and Glad® Food Bags Storage Gallon to help with the clean-up. Put the extra snacks in the fridge, throw away the trash and put your feet up and watch the game highlights!
Dollar General is currently having a buy 3 participating items you save $3 from September 24 until October 21. You can find a Dollar General store near you here.
What about you? What do you do for homegating? Let me know in the comments below!

I recently wrote a post about 15 little things to do to feel centered again, and it's still a list I come back to time and time again.
I'm no stranger to stress, and I've learned a lot in recent years about the things that help me combat those feelings and push forward into a healthier and happier state of mind. I'm grateful for a job where I love what I do and don't have major amounts of stress, but that's not to say it doesn't still creep in often.
I've tried to think of a way I would write about this differently, but I just keep coming back to the same ideas I shared in that list... so I'll just let you hop right on over and read it for yourself.
It starts like this...

Taking on the Camera and Winning
I'm going to take the opportunity in this blog post to get a little bit personal. Just like many of my clients I often find it very difficult to be in front of the camera getting my photo taken. So many of us are soooo self conscious, we fret about our little faults that often only we can see. And when we fret, it shows through in our photos. With a vicious cycle this makes us more self conscious, which makes us look weirder and weirder until finally you become a photographer so you'll never need to be in front of the camera again! Haha! I joke.
Seriously though, I want to take a little moment to say... stop hating on yourself. You are gorgeous, I'm sure of it! There are so many little things about you that your friends, family and lover adore! Your personality, your laugh, the way you scrunch your nose when you're thinking. To prove it, I took the plunge into a little photo session with my amazing bestie Maite. I decided I would not worry about my weird chin or the gap between my teeth, or whether I looked bloated or frumpy. I just breathed in my awesome surroundings, met a seal frolicking in the shallows, splashed in the shallows myself and for the most part, let myself relax and be happy in front of the camera (& behind too!) Here are some of the life & happiness filled photos! If I can relax in front of the camera, you can too, I'll help! ;)
Photos by me & the amazing Maite Petrement!

text: Everybody enjoyed my presentation on Africa today. Mr. Sharon thinks it would be great if I showed it at All School meeting. I am pretty excited to tell my experience, but at the same time a little nervous, as everyone is before they go in front of a crowd. Mr. Santos informed me that our Squad basketball team had the best record of any team this winter season. Considering that last year was a defeated season, I am quite satisfied with that.

Vaping industry has grown tremendously over the past few years. This is as a result of people switching from smoking to vaping because of its benefits. Vaping is proved to be safer than smoking because it doesn't have harmful chemicals which can cause diseases such as lung cancer, mouth cancer or heart attacks. It also doesn't produce litters which is harmful to the environment.
Vaping industry is now considered one of the largest industries in the world because;
1. It is a booming business now.
Vaping is the new kid in the block. Its market value is getting hotter by the minute. With investors such as ArcView group investing heavily in the industry, it is expected to see a significant growth.
Worldwide retail sales of the e-cigarettes and vapes hit about $2.5 billion in 2013. And in 2016, the amount almost doubled according to the Euromonitor. And the numbers are expected to go up.
Another reason as to why the Vaping Industry is booming is because, in some countries, the vaping products aren't taxed. So vaping is still expected to grow in popularity and in profits.
2. It has created jobs
Vaping industries have created jobs for several people. As the demand goes up for the e-cigarettes, so does the demand for skilled workers who have knowledge about the industry. It's a stated fact that unemployment is an enemy to a country's development. By creating these jobs, it has simultaneously strengthened the working base that drives the economy's growth.
3. Its market growth is set to go high
Its market size is estimated to be at $40 billion in 2023. Vaping is expected to see this growth because of the growing awareness of the benefits of vaping and an increase in the number of vape shops and stores.
4. It has the fastest growing product
E-cigarettes are among the fastest growing products across the globe, this is mainly because they are considered safer than the traditional cigarettes. So, therefore, their demand is high. The liquid in e-cigarette has nicotine which is both a stimulant and a relaxant; it revives your energy when you're tired, and calms you down when you're anxious.
Because of these benefits, people are switching to vaping, many of whom buy online from shops like buyv2cigs.co.uk and vaping industry keeps on expanding.
Apart from the nicotine, the e-cigarette has propylene, glycol, glycerine, and flavorings. All these are not as harmful to the body as tobacco.

Jacket khaki: trends in military style
Khaki, until recently, exclusively associated with the military uniform. But fashion designers found in olive color a certain charm that has been successfully used for clothing casual-style and festive wardrobe.

A bit of history
After the war, the textile factory could not boast of a variety of colors and fabrics, many of them were converted for the production of clothing for the soldiers.
But even in this difficult time, the girls tried to make their way and alter clothes to suit your needs. So there were jackets, pants, vests khaki. They can be considered the founders of the military style, which was again raised on a pedestal trendy modern designers.
Clothing olive green often been the subject of preferences of young people, who used it to show the protest against military conflicts. Representatives of subcultures – hippies, rock – made clothes khaki main elements of their images.
Colors of the current fashion collections do not pursue any purposes and called only to emphasize the style and elegance of girls. Shades of khaki become more calm and moderate, without causing «protective» of colors inherent in the uniform.
Style jackets military: Fashionable khaki 2018
Latest collection of famous designers showed that khaki can be easily used to design casual clothes.
A particularly memorable display of Olivia Palermo with her amazing jackets military, who conquered critics at fashion week in Milan.
Why you should have in your wardrobe outerwear style hacks? As feminine and designed for modern fashionistas?
The military jacket is a classic fashion preferences. Along with the leopard prints and metallic shades, outerwear khaki indispensable in the creation of images in urban style.
The obvious advantage jackets khaki is the ability to be in harmony with other wardrobe items. Feminine dresses, pencil skirts, floor-to-will only benefit from the proximity of outerwear olive green.
Due to the depth of color outwear khaki is able to focus on other shades of your image. Amid olive colors such as pink, gold, leopard prints and trendy stripes and sequins will look much brighter and more attractive.
Styles jackets are decorated with large pockets and buttons of large diameter.
Latest fashion collections top military style clothing has got a certain softness, allowing for small decor elements – stand-up collar, Mao, straps and a small chain.
In addition to dense fabric to design jackets use a delicate silk, lace insets, three-dimensional embroidery, sequins and other decorations.
Features jackets, khaki military style
Outerwear khaki to the end have not lost the echoes of the war years, so even in current models needs to be specific, the cuffs, pockets, prestice etc.
Trend 2018 – jacket in military style with stitched shoulders resembling shoulder straps.
Along with shoulder straps in fashion collections lead the jackets with stand-up collar, which performs several functions. On the one hand, this is purely a decorative element of clothing, on the other, this type of collar has a protective function.
Jacket in military style with stand-up collar looks great on the figure and perfectly protects from bad weather and wind.

Puffer jacket, khaki, in any case, looks stylish and appealing. Besides, in that outfit you just will not freeze.
Please note on models with a trim of their fur. They look more feminine, smoothing out the rough edges of the image.

The trench coat is the best option for late autumn and warm winter. As an intermediate model between a cloak and a long jacket trench coat looks incredibly stylish.
Khaki highlighted the uniqueness of this style. Many models are decorated with two rows of buttons, large patch pockets.

Jackets khaki borrowed from the military pilots. It can be as demi models, and the more insulated the liner for the cold winter.
Models are concise, decorated with zippers with large teeth, hidden and patch pockets.
What to wear with khaki jacket
Many ladies fear the clothes in the «military» style, only because I don't know how to combine it. Really such a controversial color as khaki, is at first sight difficult to make friends with the other elements of the image.
We will try to dispel this misconception.
The main contrasts. Creating an image in military style, you have to combine completely different style clothes. For example, an elegant black dress, short lace dresses, skirts various styles more attractive look combined with outerwear khaki.
Discard unnecessary decorative elements. If they are present on the jacket, it is not necessary to Supplement your large bracelets, bright top with provocative prints. Makeup must also be made in calm tones.
To this way are great ankle boots and long boots of black or green.
If the bottom uses skinny jeans or classic pants, choose-fitting jackets model.
Under a lush lace skirt, wear a cropped jacket that visually smooth out the image and make it more balanced.
Khaki jacket in military style – practical and stylish clothing for everyday images. The variety of shades of olive color allows you to select comfortable and fashionable outerwear that will diversify and embellish the bleak winter images.

We all love looking up the lyrics to our favorite songs, whether it's to memorize them or analyze them. Genius allows fans, bands and artists to annotate lyrics to our favorite songs. Here are some of your favorite lyrics explained by fans (and Panic! At The Disco themselves).
Read more: 18 memes that finally explain emo lyrics
Brand New — "The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot"
LYRICS: "You are the smell before the rain/You are the blood in my veins"
WHAT IT MEANS: The smell that accompanies rain is called petrichor. This word is constructed from the Greek petra, meaning stone, and ichor, the fluid that flows through the veins of gods. This girl is the reason why he is special. When she is with him he is a god amongst men. Without her Jesse is just any ordinary mortal. (submitted by swirlee)
Fall Out Boy — "Uma Thurman"
LYRICS: "Take me down the line/In Gem City we turn the tide"
WHAT IT MEANS: Although multiple locales have taken on the moniker "Gem City," this is most likely a reference to Quincy, Illinois. Fall Out Boy originally hails from Wilmette, Illinois, and have played in Quincy numerous times. (submitted by DaveHowell, MorganMagrid and MrXercules)
Panic! At The Disco — "Emperor's New Clothes"
LYRICS: "Welcome to the end of eras/Ice has melted back to life/Done my time and served my sentence"
WHAT IT MEANS: This is a 100 percent autobiographical track. There's a piece of me that I can put in the past now. I'm jumping forward as a new character, as a new artist, that's what I'm talking about: taking it all back for myself. (submitted by Panic! At The Disco)
Paramore — "26"
LYRICS: "And I've been chasing after dreamers in the clouds/After all wasn't I the one who said/To keep your feet on the ground/Man, you really brought me back down"
WHAT IT MEANS: A call back to "Brick By Boring Brick" from 2009's Brand New Eyes, which features the line: "Keep your feet on the ground when your head's in the clouds." Both examples convey the idea of chasing after one's hopes and dreams while staying rational and realistic by keeping your feet on the ground—as they may not be perceived as achievable. You might be setting yourself up for disappointment if you don't keep yourself grounded.
"Brick By Boring Brick," it comes across more like a word of advice or warning, whereas here it sounds like she's admonishing herself for getting caught up in the same thing she had been cautious of—or perhaps for being the person to bring someone down, as she now realizes how that feels. (submitted by TildeBreak and Obscure)
Trophy Eyes — "Heaven Sent"
LYRICS: "So damn smart and interesting/Don't say that you weren't warned/I'm so dangerous"
WHAT IT MEANS: The singer ends the song with a snarky part of the post-chorus. He calls himself smart and interesting and points out that the romantic partner was warned of the danger in dating him, then somewhat devilishly ends the song with the self-aware "I'm so dangerous." You can almost hear his smirk. (submitted by camson)

Letter from The Publisher
Oct 31, 2018 11:40PM
Jessica Coffey, Publisher
Dear Reader,
It's hard to believe the holiday season is about to begin! The past few months have been a whirlwind of transition for me, and I must admit, I am ready to slow down and focus on the beautiful sights and sounds that will begin popping up all around us—candles, carols, festive foods, lights—no matter the celebration, I love it all!
I will try not to get caught up in the frantic hustle bustle that also comes with this time of year. Instead, I will choose to be more intentional with how I spend my time and money. I plan to give more of both to help make a positive difference in this community. There are so many local nonprofits that can benefit from donations of all kinds—financial, new and gently used items, volunteer hours… If you're looking for ways to share your blessings with others, please check out HandsOnRVA.org, ChrysalisInstitute.org, CaritasVA.org and ProjectYogaRichmond.org, to name just a few of the wonderful organizations you can support.
In addition to giving more, I will also take cues from Mother Nature and find ways to slow down, eat less, sleep more and go within to cultivate a sense of calm and inner peace. This is an excellent time of year for contemplation and self-reflection. And the better we can care for ourselves during this often busy season, the more likely we will stay healthy—in body, mind and spirit. The feature article, "Supercharge Your Immune System", offers natural ways to help you stay healthy and prevent colds, flus and other immune disorders.
I wish you a happy and healthy holiday season. May your days be filled with compassion, grace, courage and love as 2018 comes to a close. I hope you find ways to take advantage of some slower, quieter moments to, as Danna Faulds so eloquently puts it, "Go in and in…"
Go in and in…
Be the space between the cells,
the vast, resounding silence in which spirit dwells…
Be sugar dissolving on the tongue of life.
Dive in and in… as deep as you can dive.
Be infinite, ecstatic truth.
Be love conceived and born in union…
Be exactly what you seek,
the Beloved, singing Yes, tasting Yes, embracing Yes until there is only essence,
the All of Everything expressing through you as you…
Go in and in…
and turn away from nothing that you find…
Happy Holidays and Happy Reading!

The road to an expert sustainability report – Certified GRI training
Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility training
Explore content
Understand how to prepare and co-ordinate an expert sustainability report with our GRI-certified training course, fully revised and updated for the new GRI Standards.
Sustainability reporting can be a key source of competitive advantage, engaging stakeholders and driving performance through accounting for your organisation's economic, social, and environmental impacts.
The GRI Standards are the first global standards for sustainability reporting. They feature a modular, interrelated structure, and represent the global best practice for reporting on a range of economic, environmental and social impacts. The new GRI Standards will take communicating your organisational impacts and performance to the next level.
As stakeholders demand greater transparency and relevance from organisational reports, the revised GRI Standards ramp up the focus on materiality – reporting what's most relevant to your organisation and for stakeholders.
This two-day course will provide you with the skills and tools to navigate the reporting process, identify key stakeholders, distinguish your organisation's material issues and become your organisation's GRI guru.
What you will learn:
- The business case and value of sustainability reporting
- The challenges and benefits of sustainability reporting
- How to co-ordinate a GRI sustainability report
- New and innovative formats for sustainability reporting.
The skills you will develop:
- Planning a clear and structured sustainability reporting process from the beginning
- Identifying key stakeholders and distinguish your organisation's material issues
- Recognising the internal procedures and mechanisms you will need
- Evaluating the quality of sustainability reports using your newly acquired knowledge.
Past participants say:
"The facilitators were extremely knowledgeable and well-spoken on the subject area. They were hugely receptive to questions and discussions along the way. It was an excellent course, a fabulous way to get a well-rounded perspective on GRI reporting, in particular the process for stakeholder engagement and materiality assessment."
"Great overview. Welcoming of all levels of knowledge and understanding. An opportunity to ask questions from a network of likeminded professionals."
"The course had a really good flow to it, by the end of day two I felt I had a good grasp on GRI and access to materials for anything I missed. Attendee participation was encouraged and was invaluable."

text: When was the last time you went camping? I don't necessarily mean in a tent but do you remember what it was like to go to an actual camp with cabins, campfires, counselors with funny nicknames, silly songs and, well, "camp food"? I went to Camp Leo's Family Camp on Memorial Day weekend and it was AWESOME. I've never been one for sleeping in bunk beds and I'll admit, it's been a few years since I was last what you would call a "camper" (and even this time, I wasn't technically one as I was "staff"), but I found myself swept back to the time when I was one. And this one was even better because 1) tons of people, including the counselors, had type 1 diabetes (like me!) and 2) it was a family camp! Don't get me wrong—as a tween/teenager I was usually more than okay with having separation away from my parents (who worried about me because I had a chronic medical condition and were unsure leaving me in the care of others—which tended to get old), but sometimes, I'd miss them. This camp was the best of both worlds because it included hanging out with friends (under the supervision of fun, responsible people who understood diabetes and how to treat it) while parents learned about 504 plans, exercise considerations and emotional issues tied to diabetes. Everyone got to connect with people who knew what they were going through, and they got to have a good time. Whether you've never "camped" before as a family or you'd just like to meet other people who experience the same kinds of things that you do, I highly recommend it.

IRVING, Texas – One of the looming questions for the Giants following this season has been answered. Before last night's 20-8 loss to the Cowboys at Texas Stadium, the Giants locked-up their shut-down cornerback, Corey Webster, with a new contract that runs through the 2013 season.
MORE: Bickering 'Boys Batter Big Blue
SERBY: Giants Can't KO Team Turmoil
PHOTOS: Cowboys Round Up Big Blue
If Webster, 26, would have entered free agency and hit the open market he would have been in great demand and coveted by many teams. Top corners get between $8 million and $9 million per season and Webster fits right in after signing a five-year, $43.5 million deal that include s $20 million in guaranteed money.
"Corey has been a outstanding person and player in his short career for the Giants," GM Jerry Reese said.
The Giants took a physical beating, as six players were forced out, including two starting offensive linemen: RT Kareem McKenzie (back) and G Rich Seubert (illness). Also not able to finish were LB Gerris Wilkinson (knee), S Kenny Phillips (head), RB Reuben Droughns (neck burner) and WR Sinorice Moss (calf).
Seubert experienced flu-like symptoms all day but finally had to leave the game in the fourth quarter.
Kevin Boothe, subbing for McKenzie, was beaten for two sacks and was called for two false starts.
This was the first time the Giants were held without a touchdown since the infamous 23-0 playoff loss to the Panthers in the 2005. . . . DT Fred Robbins (shoulder) was inactive. Jay Alford started in his place. Cowboys LB DeMarcus Ware had three sacks, giving him 19 for the season. He has a shot at Michael Strahan's single-season NFL record of 22 1/2 sacks.
Reports have surfaced that Raiders owner Al Davis might be interested in Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride as the next coach in Oakland.

Rainy weather is the norm in the Pacific Northwest. During the winter, it's a rare occasion when we see the sun. So when Kendra called and said, "Hey! All of my children are going to be in town this weekend, can we do a family shoot?" naturally, I said "let's go for it!." Rain doesn't stop us nor slow us down. It's part of life up here. The moodiness of the skies coupled with walking around the historic downtown Pacific Avenue and across the Chihuly glass bridge to the Foss Waterway made for an interesting backdrop. I love when people visit the Chihuly glass bridge for the first time and then see the downtown Foss waterway. It's such a unique place to be even in the rain.
Despite the rain, nothing could dampen the smiles of a happy family celebrating Thanksgiving together with girlfriends and boyfriends in tow. Kendra's wish was to make sure I captured all the kids and the boots! Happy to oblige!

While agile, just-in-time approaches have existed for decades in software development, enterprises now accept that the operational side of the house needs to become similarly dynamic. Simply put, how can you release software weekly -- or even daily -- when operations teams are conditioned to six-month cycles?
In this Sector Roadmap Report, Gigaom analyzes six automation tools designed to make DevOps workflows more efficient and effective, and lays out the criteria that technology buyers need to consider when evaluating such tools. Key findings include:
- While DevOps automation tools can be used in other areas, DevOps practices could not exist without automation. Tools that automate the hand-off of software releases between development and operations are particularly important.
- DevOps automation tools should be evaluated in terms of what they bring to the lifecycle: not only automation, but also governance, collaboration, and analytics. Used in the right way, automation tools go a long way to lowering barriers to entry into DevOps practices.
- DevOps principles do not need further proof; Web-scale businesses have proven the value. Rather, an enterprise needs to determine how to turn these principles into practice, using automation tools that enable innovation and deliver business value.

2005 Beantown Recap "27 Players from 11 organizations go 12-2-3"
When March comes around you don't typically start your hockey season, but this year the U12 Lady Eagle tournament team started soaring the first weekend in March and just finished up a couple weeks ago. This was not a full time team but a group of talented young ladies that when the opportunity and schedule matched up met in Raleigh, Tampa, Maryland and Boston to grab 2 1st's and 2 3rd's on a 17 game season. There were goals scored, assists made, shots saved and many defensive plays that don't go on the score sheet. Every player contributed, grew and helped the "Ladies in Camo" show their quality everywhere they went.
The team manager said it best last week in a quick Facebook post.
2018 Beantown Classic
The Final event of the season was the well know Beantown Classic. Most of the time we go to tournaments that push hard just to get 4 teams in a division. In Boston there were 21 2005 teams on the ice. The Ladies were in the AA pool which had 7 teams in it. The format was a 4 game round robin and the top four teams move on to the playoffs.
Game 1 vs The Hockey Training Institute of Ontario
The ladies had some productive practices the day before, but you could tell they were a bit nervous that the first team of the round robin was a Canadian team that had been at camp all summer and this was the final event. The next surprise was that the games were 2 23 minute halves and not 3 15's like they were used to. The game started with lots of back and forth but a new comer this year Rae scores her first goal as an Eagle at 11:22 in the first with a sweet top shelf from the circle. The "05's" stayed disciplined and the goalie Astrid played like a Jedi Knight to keep the game scoreless. Taylor gave some cushion with 4:29 left in the game putting the team up 2-0. HTI seemed to kick it into high gear and finally took away the shutout with 1 minute left in the game. This was a great win for the ladies to start the tournament. All wins are good but the first game of any tournament is always a welcome one.
Game 2 vs the Shoreline Sharks
Game 2 came a few hours later and started off with pucks and players trying to get near the nets, but good defense by both teams allowed very few shots until the sharks got one in off a faceoff to make it 1 to 0 sharks 8 minutes into the game. The game again settled into defensive action till the end of the 1st. The second period the ladies pressed with their offense with a goal by Hannah 1:33 into the period and she followed that up with a 2nd goal 3 minutes later that just crossed the line before the goalie could cover it. The Eagles kept pressing and the "Howitzers" on D #72 and #74 started taking turns launching at the net. With 12 minutes left in the game the team takes a 2 goal lead for the final score being 3-1. Looking at the game sheet the ladies took 3 penalties in the game. They were a hook, interference and it actually says "too many women" The "women" head into day 2 with 2 wins looking for #3.
Game 3 vs The Springfield Falcons
Saturday started off with a game verse a local Springfield team at a new rink the Navin arena. The team had decided the night before that Gabby our second and much younger(2007) goalie was going to get the nod. She had just attended the Korn Camp in Niagra for the week and was looking to put those skills to use on the ice. You could tell with the start the team wanted the 3rd win, not only for Gabby but for themselves. The first goal of the game came from Springfield and then it was nothing but #LadyEagleSoars from then on. The tie goal came from Leah and the Cera followed 30 seconds later with a penalty shot when the puck got covered in the crease. Tara and Hannah put two more in to keep the team undefeated.
Game 4 vs The CT. Northern Lights
Going into game 4 there were 3 undefeated teams in the pool, two of them were meeting on the ice. and neither of them wanted a loss. Based on the standings at the time a 3-1 team could be sitting out of the playoffs. This game was a tough as it gets, The ladies kept shooting and shooting but nothing was going in. The lights lit the lamp first and the ladies had to tie it up. Leah takes a great feed from Cera and bangs it in the net. The teams continue to go back and forth even tossing some opponents sticks in the air, but the Lights take the lead again late into the 2nd period. #74 Laura shoots from the circle and again the ladies tie it up. The game end in a 2-2 tie but both teams pushed to the end. The tie meant both the Northern Lights and the Lady Eagles make the playoffs.
Game 5 vs Hockey Training Institute of Ontario (Rematch)
Getting to play on Sunday in large tournaments is always a treat. There are no consolation games at Beantown. This game was a rematch of game 1 and you could tell HTI did not want to go home yet, but guess what neither did the Eagles. Both teams knew the next game would be against the undefeated Copper City team that had not even let a team score on them yet in two days. One new twist was the games on Sunday were 2 15's instead of 23 minute periods. The game was quite even, but very physical our ladies fought in every corner, circle crease and line on the ice. The first period went and most of the second before HTI converted on a power play to take the lead. With 2:53 left in the game Erin ties it up with some hard work through the middle of the ice. HTI fires back 30 seconds later to take the lead. The goalie gets pulled and the ladies pepper the HTI goalie but nothing goes in. The game and tournament ends for the team taking 3rd overall with a record of 3-1-1.
We want to personally thank all of the players, parents and staff that made this team possible. We wish everyone the best of luck with the new season and their new teams. We are looking forward to another magical spring/summer season in 2019.

Are You Living or Existing?
Twenty-two months. Twenty-two months it has taken me to write, design and finally pre-launch to the world what I would now like to affectionately call, my baby. Twenty-Two months later my new book, Living Over Existing is finally available for pre-order.
I wrote this book from a place of need and from a place of hoping that by sharing my journey that it will prevent you from making some of the same mistakes that I once made in my early days of entrepreneurship. See for so long, I was that girl who walked with her head down, who was too afraid to speak up for herself and was too afraid to do anything outside of my comfort zone. I went through life doing the bare minimum of what was expected of me and never acted on any of my ideas out of fear, even though I felt like they could have been life changing.
I was existing.
And through the years of working with women one-on-one to help them to build their brands, I've learned that what stops most creative women from taking the leap of faith and either turning their idea into a profitable business or taking their current business to the next level isn't lack of know how. See, there are currently millions of articles online that can teach you HOW to start a business and thousands of books as well. But not many of those resources tackle the mental barriers like fear, self-doubt and comparison that often keep creative women like us stagnant.
THAT is why I wrote Living Over Existing, to not only help you to dig deeper into the bigger reason why you were placed on this Earth but to also help you push past those mental barriers like fear, comparison and self-doubt that are holding you back from success.
You're probably thinking, "Alisha you talk about business how is this supposed to help me in mine?" There is no coach, guru, e-course or webinar that can help you to take your business to the next level if your mindset is all out of wack. If you can't even push past your own fears, how are you supposed to implement the strategies that are way out of your comfort zone? If you can't get a hold of comparison, how are you supposed to learn from someone else without wishing your life was like theirs? Mindset is everything and once you can get a hold of that you'll quickly learn that it makes building a brand a lot easier.
Yes, this book is slightly self-helpish but it is also actionable. I am a self-help book junky but one of the things that annoys me the most about them are the fact that they make you all warm and fuzzy and inspired but don't tell you what you need to do next. At the end of every chapter in this book you will be given an action step to make sure you are implementing everything that you've learned. I want you to feel good but I also want you to work because that's the only way this book will change your life is if you put in the effort.
So how do you know if you're living or existing? Simply put, if you've ever felt like you were created to do something bigger in your life but you're unsure what that something is..then you're currently existing. If you've ever hesitated or thrown out an epic idea because you were afraid of the work it will take or the possible outcome..then you are existing. If you feel like you have been barely scraping the surface of your purpose and that you're constantly playing it safe..then you're existing. But you don't have to be stuck in this same space for ever. What it's going to take for you to begin LIVING are a few big bold leaps of faith.
Throughout this book I share my journey, how I failed and literally got knocked down on my feet to the point where I had no other choice but to move up. In this book I share with you what can happen if you simply make the decision to change, look fear in the face and have unshakeable faith that everything you desire is within arms reach. This book will change you for the better and will make you look at the impossible as something that can be easily accomplished.
This book shares my journey but it is for you because I've been where you currently are. Doubting your greatness, feeling like you don't have a voice in a noisy industry and downplaying the incredible gifts you have been given. I am you. And it is my prayer that this book allows you to see yourself in the way that God see's you.
You don't have to wait until the new year or until your life seems "put together" to begin living your life and building your business on purpose.
Pre-orders for the book and book bundle are available now through Nov. 8th. And if you made it this far in this post, then you can take 15% off orders over $50 now with the code PURPOSE.

4 things to know about having a social media career
If you want to succeed in the industry, you have to know more than just how to talk in 140 characters. A social media strategist shares her tips.
You can't eat a meal without Instagramming it. You're the Foursquare mayor of every room in your apartment. Once—a day you will remember forever—@shaq retweeted you.
Yep, you're pretty much addicted to social media. Wouldn't it be great if you not only got to use social media endlessly but also had the opportunity to design and implement creative campaigns and strategies—and get paid to do it?
It doesn't hurt that "social media" is a buzzword in, well, pretty much every industry. That means the job market is full of companies looking to hire someone for their social media. It could be you. However, there are a few things you need to know first.
As the social media strategist at iAcquire, I'm going to dish some inside information on what you need to know about having a career in social media.
1. Understand different facets of social media careers.
Working in social media isn't just writing clever tweets. It's a lot more than that, and there are different facets to these kinds of jobs. Some of these positions are separate, but often if you're working at a smaller company, you'll fill several of these roles:
Community manager: Community managers both internally and externally build a reputation for the company and extend its reach online. This includes creating a Twitter chat for your industry or company to lead, organizing offline networking events, moderating and participating in a forum your organization runs, and more. Most community managers are excellent at emulating the company voice as well as efficiently and calmly handling any complaints or issues that may arise.
Social strategist: As a social strategist, you'll create social campaigns and strategies to meet certain goals for your organization (or, if you work at an agency, your organization's clients). You will need to know how to track success on social media and target social messaging for audiences. Social strategists should be able to take advantage of tools that improve audience engagement, know how to use and interpret analytics tools, and be able to think innovatively when using social media to promote goals.
You can also look into other social media roles such as content programmers, bloggers, social networking analysts and social media developers to decide which is the best fit for you.
2. Getting a job in social media requires more than just an impressive résumé.
A great résumé helps, but when you're interviewing for a social media position, you need to bring your A-game. Companies are looking for someone who can not only speak to a community online, but who are also personable and social offline, because you may be meeting with clients and attending conferences or events.
You'll also want to display your creativity; doing so in your cover letter or elsewhere in your application can boost you to the top of the interview list. (Here's a good example of how one Brazen Careerist contributor used her creativity to land a social media manager position.) Use good judgment, and be natural. Don't be too out there. Trying too hard or appearing insane will turn off potential employers.
Be prepared to answer questions on the spot as to what you would do for that company to improve their social presence. The best candidates already come with suggestions as to how to boost a company's social success.
3. Expect to be on the job 24 hours a day, seven days a week—but get major perks.
Social media doesn't sleep. This doesn't mean you don't get any shut-eye, but it does mean that you should be prepared to handle whatever comes at you, even if you're not in the office.
Crisis situations and customer complaints should be dealt with in a timely and efficient manner. Don't jump the gun on resolving what could be a volatile situation—if necessary, call your boss. It might be the weekend, but he will appreciate that you asked for his input before making a rash decision.
However, not everything you handle in your off hours will be negative. Your company hired you to work in social media, so they want you to be social. You might get to travel to attend social media conferences and networking events to meet and learn from others in your industry. Also, if your company is hosting an event, you will be the eyes and ears for those unable to attend.
4. Harness the power to innovate and inspire others in your industry.
Although you may be learning from other social media professionals when you get started, don't mistake this communication as one-sided. Because the industry is ever changing, you will discover new ways to innovate the social space; your company, as well as the connections you've made, will give you the platform to share your insights. Social media is a field in which you not only get to participate and create, but also shape the future.
What attracts you to a social media career? What other questions do you have about the job or field?

Class Programs
Dynamite offers a variety of class programs to provide multiple avenues to grow and thrive. Our preschool program combines gymnastics with developmental movement. At 5, students choose whether to specialize in Tumbling, CheerFusion, or Artistic gymnastics. Tumbling and CheerFusion are gateways to joining our competitive team programs.
gymnastics basics
Students navigate obstacle courses comprised of bars, beams, blocks, mats and springboards to develop coordinate, confidence, balance, and gross motor and fundamental gymnastics skills. Up through age 3, parents learn to hand-spot and coach their budding gymnasts. At the age of 3, gymnasts who can separate from their parents are invited to join Poppers, where they will practice following instructions, waiting in line, and making friends, in addition to mastering movement.
CLASS OPTIONS: Sparklers (18mos - 3 yrs), Poppers (3 - 4), Firecrackers (4 - 5)
INVITATION ONLY: Allstar Cheer Team Track, Team
basics - advanced
Tumbling skills are critical for gymnastics, cheer, and dance, to name a few. At Dynamite, rolls, handstands, cartwheels, handsprings and flips are taught with proper technique, which creates a solid foundation for progression. Solid tumbling basics training, including strength and flexibility development, allows athletes to transition into a myriad of other sports that incorporate tumbling. Students must start in Basics and can test into Advanced Tumbling.
CLASS OPTIONS: Basics Tumbling (5 - 7), Basics Tumbling (7 - 10), Basics Tumbling (10+)
INVITATION ONLY: Advanced Tumbling (7 - 10), Advanced Tumbling (10+), Power Tumbling Team Track, Team
Tumbling, Stunting & JUMPing
Cheer is an awesome combination of tumbling, stunting and dance. In this class, students will learn the cheer basics: introductory tumbling, basic footholds, correct posture for basing, balance work, as well as shaping, strength and flexibility. CheerFusion is a great class for kids who want to eventually compete or just want to progress at their own pace. Join with friends to make your own stunt groups and improve together.
CLASS OPTIONS: CheerFusion (5 - 7), CheerFusion (7 - 10), CheerFusion (10+)
INVITATION ONLY: Advanced CheerFusion (7+), Pre-Team, and Team
Think Simone Biles. Students develop skills on bars, beam, vault and the spring floor as they build balance, strength and confidence. Because gymnastics is a progressive sport, students can learn at their own pace. We welcome kids of any age and level to master basic elements and work their way up to more advanced skills. Dynamite's focus on proper progressions in a fun environment means that your gymnast will get a solid foundation while having a blast.
CLASS OPTIONS: Gymnastics (5 - 7), Gymnastics (7 - 10), Gymnastics (10+)
INVITATION ONLY: Advanced Gymnastics, Pre-Team, Team

Was it winemaker Ben or construction manager J.P.? Find out now
When Ashley Hebert set out to be The Bachelorette this season, she hoped to find the man of her dreams among a field of 25 potential suitors.
The Madawaska, Maine, native, 26, who will soon finish dental school at the University of Pennsylvania, promised herself she'd follow her heart to true love – and now she says she's found it.
Two men asked for her hand in marriage on Monday's finale: Sonoma, Calif., winemaker Ben Flajnik, 28, and New York construction manager J.P. Rosenbaum, 34.
Keep reading to find out whose proposal Ashley accepted …
RELATED: What You Didn't See on The Bachelorette's Men Tell All Special
Viewers saw that Hebert had an incredible connection to Flajnik, but it was the more reserved Rosenbaum who captured her heart.
After turning down Flajnik's heartfelt proposal in which he confessed, "Every second I spend with you makes me fall deeper in love with you. I want to thank you for allowing me to feel completely and utterly vulnerable and open with you," Hebert waited for Rosenbaum's arrival via seaplane.
Once Rosenbaum arrived, neither he nor Hebert could contain their happiness.
"All the time we've spent together, it's been the happiest time of my life," Rosenbaum said with a grin. "And you always say to me you're smiling all the time, you're going to have wrinkles when you're older. Well, I smile because of you. You bring that out. What I do know for absolute certain is that I am madly in love with you. I love everything about you."
After sharing a passionate kiss, Hebert tells him, "Today is the reason why I went through all the good times and the bad times, and I've been wanting to tell you how much I loved you for so long now. You mean the world to me and I do not want to be with anyone else forever."
"I'm so in love with you. You're the one. You're it," Rosenbaum said earnestly, getting down on one knee and opening the pretty little black box containing a diamond Neil Lane engagement ring. "Ashley, will you marry me?"
"Yes!" Hebert replied, bending down to kiss Rosenbaum while he placed the ring on her finger. The two kissed – and kissed, and kissed – as they walked into the Fijian sunset.

Please tell us about yourself
Disney Pixar's Inside Out has opened to unanimous critical acclaim in the US, in the process of becoming the second highest opener for an original movie with a weekend collection of $91 million. In a period, when sequels, reboots, remakes and superhero flicks have dominated the Hollywood box office, the success of an ingenious story about how five emotions – Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger and Disgust – function inside the head of an 11-year-old girl is a reassuring sign.
Original Link :
Like some of Pixar's finest movies, Pete Docter (director of Monsters, Inc. and Up) has made a film which will give you as many reasons to smile as to shed tears. With the summer having already seen two Indians in successful films – Irrfan (Jurassic World) and Nargis Fakhri (Spy) – Inside Out also features Indians, albeit those behind the screens: Sajan Skaria, Vandana Sahrawat (Hyderabad) and Amit Baadkar (Mumbai).
In an exclusive interview with India Today, Sajan Skaria shared his experience of being a Disney Pixar character supervisor for 14 years now, and working on Inside Out.
What is your background?
The Thiruvananthapuram-born Skaria did his undergraduate studies in computer science from Regional Engineering College (REC, now the National Institute of Technology), Calicut and then went onto pursue his master's in visualization sciences from Texas A&M University. The education enabled Skaria to get familiarized with 'both the artistic and technical aspects of animated movie-making', and he makes it a point to take a break from his duties at the headquarters in Emeryville, California once a year to visit his parents back home in Kerala.
What do you do?
As a character supervisor with Pixar since 2001, Skaria is responsible for all the characters in Inside Out. "I have a team of modellers, riggers, shading artistes, tailors and groomers working with me," he writes. "We take the artwork that the artistes and the director come up with, and create them on the computer. One of the biggest pleasures of our part of the job is to be the first to see Pixar's amazing characters come to life. I work with all the other departments and the production team to make sure our characters turn out looking great," added Skaria.
How did you start off in Animation?
Skaria started off by working on Finding Nemo. Apart from Cars, which he says was the longest he worked on a film – 'close to five years!' – he is also behind bringing alive one of the most memorable characters of all time in Woody, which he worked on for the popular Toy Story 3. "It was a thrill to get to work on Woody," says Skaria, "It was like getting a chance to recreate Mickey Mouse."
When did your love for animation begin? How did you end up in a cool, offbeat and interesting career such as this?
My love for animation started with the cartoons, that would play on the only TV channel we had in India at the time – Doordarshan. But the real moment when I knew that I wanted to work in animation was when I read The illusion of Life by Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas. I got a really expensive but dusty copy of it from a bookstore in Bangalore. I remember saving up money to buy it at that time, because it was so expensive.
What kind of movies/TV shows did you grow up watching?
I would watch anything that played on Doordarshan in the 1980s. Tom and Jerry and Star Trek were favourites. Among the Indian shows, I enjoyed watching RK Laxman's Malgudi Days. My earliest memory of watching a cartoon was an episode of Barbapapa. I couldn't believe that creatures like this could exist!
What's a day in the Pixar office like?
I love coming to work. I come in early if I don't have to drop my daughter off at school. As a character supervisor, I'm mostly making sure that the character department runs smoothly for the show. This requires meeting with heads of the other departments like art, animation and lighting. I check in with the supervising technical director, the director and the producer every week to make sure we are on track to deliver high quality characters without breaking the budget. I have less time at my desk these days, but whenever I get a chance, I try to help the team out with rigging a character.
Tell us about your work on Inside Out.
As a character supervisor for the film, I had about 30 amazing character technical directors working with me. My job was to make sure that we could take care of anything that Pete and the story artistes threw at us. I was also answerable to Jonas Rivera (producer) and the production team to make sure that we did this with a reasonable amount of money and time. Between my responsibilities as character supervisor, I did steal a little bit of time to help rig the character Fear for the movie.
What was it like working with Pete Docter? Have you worked on his films before?
It was a thrill to work with Pete Docter. I never got a chance to work on Monsters, Inc. or Up, so I jumped at the chance to be the character supervisor for Inside Out. It's easy to trust Pete because his ideas come from a very genuine place. He is constantly exploring and trying to make things better, and the whole team would go with it because we trusted that the end result would be something amazing. He is also one of the nicest directors I've ever worked with.
The film looks at the different emotions that help guide 11-year-old Riley as she grows up. What was the most challenging part of showing the inner workings of her mind?
With other movies like Toy Story or Cars, we had physical objects we could look at and study. For example, we know that Buzz Lightyear (a fictional character in Toy Story) is made of plastic, and so could go and research how that behaved. With Inside Out, we didn't have the luxury of seeing, touching or interacting with any real-life examples of what these characters needed to look like. We had to go along with Pete and the art team and try to discover what Joy and the rest of the emotions were made out of. In the end, she turned out to be a volume with particles like champagne bubbles and a blue glow. Figuring out Joy was the most challenging part for us.
Which emotion do you most experience at work – Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust or Sadness?
It's Joy without a doubt! Fear is a close second. I rarely feel sadness, disgust or anger at work.
Your favourite animated film?
My all-time favorite animated movie is Bambi. I can watch it any number of times. I love the slow pacing and the innocence of it. I'm not sure when I saw it first, but I make it a point to watch it with my kids whenever I get a chance.
What are you working on next?
I am character supervisor for Toy Story 4. It comes out in 2017 and my team is super excited to get to work with John Lasseter again.
