Reverse The Signs Of Aging
What is A Facelift?
Have you been considering a facelift?
Highly Trained Facial Plastic Surgeon
Dr. Torgerson As A Face Lift Expert
Dr. Torgerson is a highly trained Facial Plastic Surgeon – one of the few in Canada to have achieved his MD, PhD and FRCSC. This means his skills, expertise, and experience are highly targeted and focused on only the Head and Neck area, and few other surgeons have his credentials. His keen aesthetic eye coupled with his impeccable surgical skills ensures a facelift that results in youthful contours and a natural-looking outcome. Dr. Torgerson's safety record, innovative techniques, and customized approach to each patient makes him a leader in his field when it comes to Facelift surgery.
The Age Of Facelift Patients Can Vary
Candidates For A Facelift
Patients who are great candidates for a facelift are usually seeking a positive solution to improve certain aspects of their face. Patients typically have begun to notice any of the following: sagging around the jawline and chin caused by loss of muscle tone; loose skin around the eyes, chin, mouth, and face; creases, fine lines, and wrinkles; and the mid-face beginning to sag. The ages of patients seeking facelift surgery can vary, since genetic factors, lifestyle choices, weight gain or loss, and natural changes all affect the look and feel of the skin on an individual basis. When these factors begin to alter a person's overall appearance and the face no long reflects the energy and youthfulness one feels, it's likely the right time to begin to consider facelift surgery. One of Dr. Torgerson's plastic surgery mottos is "Do the Right thing at the right time." If you are feeling and noticing the changes in your face, it is probably the perfect time for you to book a complimentary consultation to discuss a natural facelift.
Combining Plastic Surgery Procedures With A Facelift
Many times, other cosmetic procedures are done at the same time as a facelift. Some of the most common surgeries are blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), neck lift and brow lift. Adding on these procedures will increase your overall facelift cost, however, the combined fee will still be lower than if you had each, individual, plastic surgery procedure performed separately. This is because, by combining the surgeries, you will only incur one facility fee and anaesthetic fee for that day and the facial plastic surgeon will likely give a reduced rate on the surgeon's fee because of booking simultaneous procedures.
Top Face Lift Questions Asked By Patients
What factors should I consider before moving ahead with a Facelift?
Patients need to consider all of the following when choosing a Facial Plastic Surgeon for their Facelift: 1) qualifications, 2) expertise, 3) their rapport and comfort level with the cosmetic surgeon, 4) the quality of the Facial Plastic Surgery facility, 5) where the surgery will be performed, 6) external factors like staff who work at the Cosmetic Surgery centre and how their consultation requests and appointments are handled, and 7) if patients connect with the aesthetic presented in the before and after photos of prior patients.
Mini-Facelift vs. Full Facelift: Which is better?
Determining whether a mini Facelift or a full Facelift is better for you will depend on your age, genetics, and aesthetic goals. Although a mini-facelift can be very appealing because it is less expensive and less invasive, it may not be the best for a patient with significant skin looseness. *A full facelift will also correct the neck, restructuring deep tissues, the midface, and jowls, resulting in a more cohesive overall result. However, if you have minimal skin looseness and mild jowling, then a mini-lift may be the right decision for you at this time.* All of the options can be explored with Dr. Torgerson during your free consult, and a perfectly personalized and tailored plan can be decided on at that time.
What are the best alternatives to a FaceLift?
If you are not quite ready for a Facelift Surgery or can't afford the downtime, some other excellent non-surgical options include:
- Dermal filler to restore volume where it has been lost due to the aging process
- Botox to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles around the forehead and eyes
- Laser treatments such as C02 laser for skin tightening, skin resurfacing, and skin rejuvenation
- Ultherapy for lifting and tightening of the deeper muscle layers
Can I have other procedures done at the same time as a Facelift?
Absolutely, you can. Many patients often decide to combine the procedure with a neck lift, browlift, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), or C02 laser. *To have multiple surgical procedures performed at once does not lengthen your recovery time, which is an added benefit, and it can address a variety of areas of concern all at the same time.*
How many Facial Plastic Surgeons should I consult?
The answer is as many as necessary in order for you to find the cosmetic surgeon best suited to you and your needs. You need to feel comfortable with your plastic surgeon, feel like you can establish a good rapport with him or her, and feel like your aesthetic goals for the facelift match.
What medical tests are necessary before a Facelift?
All Cosmetic Surgery patients are required to go for blood tests, a chest X-ray, and occasionally an ECG. Dr. Cory Torgerson goes above and beyond in his assessment of whether or not a patient is physically fit for surgery so that he can ensure the absolutely safety of all of his patients.
Where will my actual Facelift surgery happen?
Your Facelift surgery will occur right in our beautiful State-Of-The-Art Surgical Facility in the Yorkville area of downtown Toronto. Dr. Torgerson oversees one of the few Fully Approved Level 3 Out of Hospital Premises in Toronto. In order to be approved for private surgery, any facility must pass a strict inspection and assessment process coordinated by the governing body, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO). Our facility exceeds the provincial expectations and offers incredible quality assurance. Having your face lift performed at a private surgery facility means better one-on-one medical attention than a hospital can offer, since staff are selected personally by Dr. Torgerson, based on their credentials and expertise. Private Surgery Centres also give patients the confidence that their Facial Cosmetic surgical case will not get bumped by another more dire medical emergency. This can often be the problem if you book surgery with a surgeon who operates mainly out of a hospital. The following statements are from an assessment and inspection report from the CPSO regarding Dr. Torgerson's Facial Cosmetic Surgery Centre:
Facelift Cost In Toronto
The cost of a facelift in Toronto is an important factor in anyone's decision to undergo facelift surgery. Financial considerations need to be made to decide if now is the right time to move forward with plastic surgery. Generally, a facelift cost should be inclusive of the facial plastic surgeons' fee, the anesthesia fee and the facility fee (nurses, recovery room, supplies and medications on the day of the surgery), as well as any follow up appointments afterwards. Facelift surgery will be more expensive in urban areas where overhead costs are more expensive and there is greater demand. On the plus side of the equation, the facelift surgeons in a densely populated area who have higher fees than others likely have the expertise and qualifications you would want in a cosmetic surgeon, ensuring a better result.
Less invasive facelifts, such as a minilift, usually range from $8000- $16000, a full facelift cost will typically range from $19,000-$30,000 because it is more extensive.
Payment plans are available throughout Toronto to help offset the cost of the facelift and should be discussed with your face lift surgeon if its something you are considering utilizing.
Occasionally, there will be some additional basic costs associated to the facelift that you may have to pay for out of pocket. One may be the cost of the facelift prescription medication, such as antibiotics and painkillers, if you don't have a drug plan to cover them; another could be the optional cost of a specialized head bandage for your facelift recovery afterwards, another might be the cost of an overnight nurse, should you desire extra care beyond the normal, necessary requirements.
The Facelift Consultation
During your initial complimentary consultation, you will have about 30 minutes to meet personally with Dr. Torgerson and discuss your areas of concern. Dr. Torgerson will do an in-depth analysis of your face to determine the areas that should be treated and provide you with a comprehensive plan of action and a personalized quote. Patients are then welcome to use the VECTRA 3D imaging system to help visualize the potential possibilities and outcomes. As an expert in facial structure and anatomy, Dr. Torgerson will be able to target the best treatment strategy to compliment your appearance. Some patients may require a full facelift, which will involve a neck lift, browlift, and eyelid surgery (also known as blepharoplasty), while others may only require a mini-facelift.
Viewing before and after photos of previous face lift patients is also an important component of the consultation. Not all patients have given permission for their photos to be used online, but many have approved in-office use. Therefore, at your consultation, you would be able to view an extensive before and after photo gallery of patients and see their results.
Following the initial consultation, patients can proceed with booking a second pre-operative appointment with Dr. Torgerson, following which they can proceed with selecting a surgery date. One of the fantastic benefits of having his own approved private surgical facility in Toronto is that Dr. Torgerson is easily able to accommodate a patient's timeline for proceeding with surgery. In addition, the wait times are minimal compared to a surgeon operating out of a hospital.
Facelift Alternatives
There are some exciting new technologies that offer alternative cosmetic treatments for those worried about facelift surgery, those who are not great candidates for general anaesthesia or those unable to pay for the full cost of a facelift. These non-surgical treatments offer skin tightening and skin resurfacing to target wrinkles and skin laxity. Some of the procedures offered at Dr. Torgerson's Toronto Cosmetic clinic for non-surgical facelift options are: Ultherapy- a technology that uses ultrasound waves to lift and tighten the skin and stimulate collagen, Fotona laser treatments such as Frac3, Smoothlifting, Hot Sculpting, or C02 laser to target skin concerns. A liquid facelift can also be achieved through the use of injectable dermal fillers such as Juvederm, Teosyal or Restylane to provide lift and contouring, and neurotoxins to target wrinkles and fine lines. Although nothing matches the effectiveness and quality of results of a true facelift, if you are looking for more a budget-conscious facelift cost, these cosmetic procedure alternatives may be right for you.
Facelift Trends And Statistics
The facelift trends and statistics across North America are showing an overall, steady consistency year over year according to many of the leading plastic surgery reports. In Toronto, Dr. Torgerson's facelift clients continue to grow year over year- the increase can possibly be attributed to the baby boomer population desiring to look as youthful as they feel and having some excess cash in pocket at they near retirement. In terms of gender distribution, both males and females in Toronto and around the GTA are booking facelift surgeries, with women at a slightly higher percentage than their male counterparts. If you are considering facelift surgery and would like to learn more about facelift cost, recovery or to learn if you are a great candidate, we would love to hear from you.

First and foremost if I haven't made it clear enough before my son's father is addicted to heroin. He has been since about January or February '16. I tried hard to allow him to be a father to our son because that what Kannon deserves a rounded development with a mom and dad. But life isn't perfect and there are evil things in the world that can draw in the most beautiful souls like my ex-boyfriend.
I know without a doubt that he loves Kannon but the fact is he loves the drugs more. Its baffling that someone could choose a high over the perfection of a child, but drugs do that. they poison the mind body and soul, and no one can make an addict leave it behind expect themselves. It took me a long time to realize that.
I cut contact with my son's father not long before I started this blog. But I got slightly drawn back in the past couple of days. He called me from the hospital and since I didn;t recognize the number I answered. We talked, cried of course but then didn't speak for the rest of the day. I realize faulting in my no contact self-agreement is kind of a setback in recovery but so far I think I'm alright. He called again the day of Father's Day and I allowed that because no matter the past he is my son's father and nothing can change that.
But what makes the day a bit more strange is that Kannon's paternal great-grandmother drove over three hours just to meet him. I was expecting that lunch to go so many different ways but honestly really enjoyed myself. It was really a huge weight off my shoulders being truthful about why her grandson and I are no longer in a relationship. Being truthful about how that relationship was becoming more and more poisonous to me each day. And how it has affected my college career path and such was such a relief. She understood and sympathized and it allowed me to justify my feelings of disappointment in myself and other factors of why I decided to leave college.
I felt so terrible telling her about what was going on and seeing how much it broke her heart. She is a kind lady and really cares about her family and I could tell she tried her best to help her family. Hearing about her experience trying to help her daughter, Kannon's paternal grandmother, with her addiction just made me realize that I am making the right choice. That I don't have to drag myself behind my ex-boyfriend's path just because of his decision to bring a dangerous drug into his life.
I told her all about what he's done to my family and how there were conditions made so that we could reunite as a family but he couldn't follow through on any of them. I told her about his many stints in a detox facility and his experience in rehab and half way houses and how none of that still didn't seem to stick. After each time he attempt to get help it would be quickly followed by a relapse and the cycle that was just constant and that i really couldn't see the end of it insight.
I think right now my ex-boyfriend is much too like his mother, just because fo the addiction and the fact that I have separated us physically and emotionally. listening to his grandmother's stories just shocked me so much, the similarities between them was uncanny. I Have plenty to say about my experience with his mother but most of that could probably be a blog post all of its own.
My lunch with Kannon's great grandmother made me appreciate my outlook in my future. I choose my son, I choose to show him a happy fulfilled life. I am so glad that he has started to meet his father's side of family because I know how much my family loves him and how much joy he brings to our lives and if I can give that joy to others through Kannon just by the fact of him being created then that is something I can get behind and support.

As you probably know STEEM is an inflationary cryptocurrency. This means that, unlike Bitcoin, STEEM doesn't have a fixed supply. New STEEM is continually being created to reward authors, curators, witnesses and Steem Power holders. In order to calculate how much STEEM is added to the reward pool per day we must first understand how the inflation rate works. So let me explain...
STEEM inflation
When Steem forked to version 0.16.0 in december 2016, an instantaneous 9.5% inflation rate was set at block 7,000,000. It started at 9.5%, but even the inflation rate itself is not fixed. It decreases at a rate of 0.01% every 250,000 blocks. This narrowing contineous until it reaches a floor inflation rate of 0.95%. This happens on block 220,750,000 and I hope we are all still alive by that time. It will take approximately 20.5 years.
Blocks? How does that work?
As you know, STEEM is a blockchain: A chain of blocks. Each block contains data. On the Bitcoin blockchain, for example, each 10 minutes a new block is added to the blockchain. This new block contains the latest Bitcoin transactions. The STEEM blockchain processes all data much faster than Bitcoin does. Instead of a 10 minute 'block time', STEEM has only a 3 second 'block time'. Every 3 seconds a new block is added to the chain which contains everything that happened on the network in that short period of time. Posts, comments, votes, transactions and so on and so forth.
What is the current STEEM inflation rate?
Now that you understand what blocks are, let's calculate the current STEEM inflation. Here is the formula:
current_inflation_rate = (978 - (head_block_number / 250000)) / 100
'head_block_number' is the number of the latest block on the chain. You can find the current value of 'head_block_number' on https://steemd.com. Let's fill in it.
current_inflation_rate = (978 - (13,387,926 / 250,000)) / 100 = 9.24
The current inflation rate is 9.24%. As said, this decreases at a rate of 0.01% every 250,000 blocks (every 8.68 days).
How much STEEM is added to the reward pool per day?
Now that we know the inflation rate we can go back to our main question. Here is the formula to calculate the number of STEEM that is added to the reward pool each time a new block is produced (every 3 seconds):
new_steem = ( ( virtual_supply * current_inflation_rate ) / ( 10000 * BLOCKS_PER_YEAR ) ) * CONTENT_REWARD_PERCENT;
- virtual_supply: The virtual supply is the supply of all STEEM + all SBD if all SBD would be converted to STEEM at the current price. Go to https://steemd.com again to find the current value.
- current_inflation_rate: The value we just calculated.
- BLOCKS_PER_YEAR: A fixed value of 10,512,000. 1 new block every 3 seconds, makes 10,512,000 new blocks annually
- CONTENT_REWARD_PERCENT: 75% goes to authors and curators. 15% goes to witnesses and 10% goes to SP holders.
new_steem = ( ( 252,970,254 * 924 ) / ( 10000 * 10,512,000 ) ) * 0.75 = 1.66769773613 STEEM;
So each time a new block has been produced, 1.668 STEEM is added to the reward pool.
- Every 3 seconds: 1.668 STEEM
- Every minute: 33.354 STEEM
- Every hour: 2,001.237 STEEM
- Every day: 48,029.695 STEEM
Answer to our question:
About 48,029 fresh STEEM will be added to the reward pool today, but because it depends on multiple factors it might be slightly higher or lower tomorrow.

wow, I just wanted to take a better peek at the paneling card - you have some wonderful vintage creations - tfs!
Gorgeous job Vada! The Faux Paneling looks like designer paper, if so who makes it? Thanks so much for sharing!
This is so beautiful. I'm assuming you made the 'paneling' out of a patterned paper. Just exquisite....the whole thing.

Your hair is? Relaxed? Natural? 'Texlaxed'? Transitioning?
It's natural.
When and why did you start your hair journey? How do you deal with people who doubt you? What motivates you to keep going?
I started my journey about 2 years ago, I did so because I was just tired of having to relax my hair every 2 weeks. I had stubborn hair and no matter how strong a relaxer was, it never worked on my hair so I just decided not to relax it at all. I did nothing to my hair aside braids, I never did weave because I am not a fan. I did not relax my hair for over 6 months and later I trimmed the relaxed part which was longer than the natural part. Even as it was painful to do that, I just had to. At that point, I knew nothing about natural hair and all I wanted to do was stop relaxing my hair. My parents still think it's silly and find it hard to accept my hair as it is and people still find it hard to believe my hair is natural just because of the fullness and length.
Do you do protective styles or leave your hair down?
I do lots of protective styles. For my kind of hair, leaving it down is almost impossible except I want to pull an afro which I really don't do much.
Do you have any hair goals? How are you working to achieve them? Or have you already achieved them? How did you achieve them?
Yes I do have hair goals and I am working to achieve them.
What do you love most about your hair?
I just love that people can look at my hair and be like "WOW! How do you take care of your hair?" I always love the surprised look on their faces. I love everything about my hair and I won't trade it for any other type of hair not even another type 4c hair.
What personal struggles or challenges have you experienced during your hair journey?
I experience a whole lot when it comes to achieving the exact type of style I want after watching a video on YouTube. Getting my hair in a ponytail is also a struggle. Sometimes I just want to do something simple with my hair but its fullness and thickness make even the simplest style a struggle. Twist outs don't always come out perfect even if though I spend a whole lot of time twisting my hair.

I have some empathy with that sentiment.
I've never bought a campden tablet in my life and although I have the "metabisulphite" around the place (exactly the same but cheaper) I don't think I've ever used it !
BUT I NEVER rely on "natural" yeast - I always use the strongest most aggressive yeast I cann lay my hands on (except I DON'T use "turbo") - simply TOO strong !
However this does not answer your question - Get your juice - then sterilise it ( that's what meta wossit does) - then stick in a "Cold" yeast and taste regularly !
|I sterilise all utensils but don't add chemicals to anything. I just use a starter which may work with or overwhelm the natural yeasts. It's always drinkable 🍺
On a rather larger scale I know, but you wont go wrong if you do this:
collect apples, wash, pulp, extract juice into clean airtight container. Add campden tabs as per dose (Andrew Lea's cider pages on the net are invaluable), leave overnight, next day add yeast (I use 35g per 100L) leave overnight, add nutrient, then leave top loosely on whilst first fermentation begins. After about a week either tighten cap a bit or add airlock. Watch the bubbling.
When you think its stopped (pretty certain), then rack off the lees into a CLEAN airtight container. Fill to brim (even if it means topping up with tap water) and store for 23 months before drinking.
The minute air gets to it, you have literally a couple of days and it might turn so bottling/bagging is your option if you have a lot.
about 2 weeks ago i started a one litre experimental batch of mixed windfalls from the orchard
wash apples
juice apples
put in plastic bottle
add a bit of an ongoing batch
2 weeks later
most bubbling ceased
pour off lees through fine sieve
tis very much at the scrumpy end of the cider range but it is quite drinkable as a medium dry rough cider.
if fermented out completely and bottled it would mature to a fine mid colored ,clear ,cider but as it is it is pretty ok.
i suspect much of the cider that was part of the wages package for itinerant farm workers was quite similar as drink it young is almost a necessity if there is a lack of airtight storage,even wooden barrels are not ideal for long maturation times unless one is making whisky or calvados which requires some oxidation/combination chemistry.
Thanks for all your info.
Have just had a look at this info, and has given us some extra info to work with.
I think we will use the campden tablets after pressing, as seems the logical thing to do, especially for our first go. We're going to be using Yarlington Mill apples, which we have grown especially for doing some cider making. This is our first harvest from the tree, so only enough for a small batch. Once we're happy with the process (and outcome), we will try making some blends and experimenting with natural/yeasts next year.
23 months...I was reckoning on a couple of months!
|Or you do things the old fashioned way and let the wild yeast on the apples do the job.
23 months...I was reckoning on a couple of months!
|WhoopS It was 2-3 months!

"There will be all manner of unforeseen challenges and it is not likely your path will be as planned, however you do get to choose on a daily basis whether to continue or not. It's that simple."
Sarah O'Neill established her store/gallery Small Spaces in 2011 to enable small-space dwelling with a philosophy of mindful consumption and considered design. Small Spaces now shows artworks by both emerging and established Australian artists guided by a mission to support artists in their practice and make fine art more accessible to the market.
Reading Leonard Koren's book Wabi Sabi for Artists, Designers Poets and Philosophers was a pivotal point. I'd just left a job I wasn't enjoying, was wondering what to do next and read the book, which inspired me to go to Japan. I saw similar small, undefinable retail concepts and came back and opened Small Spaces. Nearly 5 years on, Small Spaces now sells fine art presented in a quasi-domestic context.
Trust your intuition, stay flexible and keep choosing to not give up. I've had a series of people who have helped me through different stages of the business. I've searched for informed advice; however, ultimately it's been a sequence of people providing professional, psychological or financial help that has allowed me to continue by making my mistakes and learning.
Japan speaks to me. I felt like I was in love everyday I was there. It's in the respect for small things. The honouring of seasons, traditions, time, the natural order.

The New York Yankees need not be reminded of the gem Houston Astros pitcher Dallas Keuchel threw at Yankee Stadium during the AL Wild Card game last October. There is a heightened sense of optimism heading into the 2016 season, however. After acquiring infielder Starlin Castro from the Chicago Cubs and closer Aroldis Chapman from the Cincinnati Reds, Yankee Stadium will be alive and well with All-Star talent beginning in April.
Along with the added hype and marquee roster additions will also be a larger demand for tickets on the secondary market. As it stands now the average price for New York Yankees tickets through all 81 games at Yankee Stadium is $110.76. That marks a 27.9% increase from last year's average of $83.63. More than a half dozen games currently own an average price above $150, including divisional games against the Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox and crosstown rival Mets in August.
That shouldn't deter fans from making traveling arrangements to New York City this spring and summer, however. The Yankees won't be left to lick their wounds for long as they welcome the Astros to the Bronx in early April. An August 14 game against the Rays, which will honor Mariano Rivera with his own plaque in Monument Park before the game, is currently the most expensive on Yankees schedule this season, with tickets averaging $227.59 and the cheapest ticket listed for $37. Fans can expect the Yankees' shut-down relief to be on full display with a lead, as Dellin Betances, Andrew Miller and Chapman round out what is considered the most feared bullpen in the Majors this year.
Reasons to travel to Yankee Stadium don't just end with the Yankees. New York City Football Club, New York's newest sporting franchise, will launch its second season in the Bronx beginning on March 13 against Toronto FC. Tickets for the opening game are considerably cheaper than the Yankees' Opening Day one month later, with an average secondary market price of $70.75 and a $23 get-in price. It will fall in the middle of the price pack in relation to the whole season, however, as seven other games are averaging a higher price. A July 3 game against the crosstown New York Red Bulls is the most expensive match of the season for NYCFC, with tickets averaging $110.79 and the cheapest ticket listed for $39.
NYCFC is coming off an underwhelming inaugural year after going just 10-17-7 and finishing 17th overall in the league. Much of the season was dedicated to the ongoing participation controversy regarding Frank Lampard, who played just 10 games and posted three goals in that time. Lampard, the all-time leading goalscorer for Chelsea, did little to contribute to a postseason push for NYCFC in 2015.
There is reason to believe that the upcoming year will be a monumental one at Yankee Stadium. With the Yankees bolstering their roster and NYCFC hoping to break out and place in the MLS Playoffs, 2016 will be a fruitful year for the fan hell-bent on making the trip to the Bronx.

Fall is being especially reluctant to show itself here in Texas, but the fall recipes are flying around the blogosphere as if it were already 60 degrees outside. And, in parts of the country it is, just not in my part 😉 Nevertheless, I was excited that the theme for this week's recipe swap was soups/stews. It may not be cold weather yet, but adding a new soup recipe to the index is never a bad thing! I received this recipe from Ashley of Cheese Curd in Paradise. It's a soup that is served at Olive Garden, which means it can't be anything but delicious!
And, in my favor, the night that I decide to make this turns out to be a night that a "cold front" is blowing through my neck of the woods! High of 75, low of 47 – now that's soup weather!! It was easy to prepare, didn't take a lot of time, and was perfectly flavored! I will admit that I was extremely nervous about using Kale. You see, I'd never cooked with or eaten kale before, so I had no idea what it tasted like. I was very close to substituting Spinach in it's place, but decided that I should at least try it the original way. I wasn't disappointed. While the texture of kale was new to me, it didn't have a bad taste, which was my concern. I will definitely be making this soup again come Winter weather, and I highly suggest you try it as well!

Modeled after the Freedom Schools of the 1960s, Freedom Summer is a 5-week summer-school program, offering 7th-, 8th-, and 9th-grade Freedom Fellows rigorous instruction in reading and math; creative opportunities in visual arts and drama; and access to health and wellness training through fitness, gardening, and our healthy lunch program. After completing the academic portion of the summer, Freedom Fellows travel to Alabama, Arkansas, and Tennessee to camp in the wilderness, visit civil rights monuments and museums, and learn more about the deep-rooted history of empowerment and social justice in the South.
In the summer after their 9th-grade year, Freedom Fellows take a variety of courses taught by doctoral candidates from around the country. Recruited by our partner organization, Freedom Summer Collegiate, these doctoral candidates develop courses in their fields of study. Not only do these courses allow Fellows to explore their passions, they also provide opportunities for Fellows to earn credits through Millsaps College while developing their collegiate skills.
Youth Employment Program (YEP), is a brand new initiative at the RFP. With generous support from the Hardin Foundation, the RFP has hired six Fellows to serve as junior staff members; three of these Fellows co-facilitate creative clubs at the RFP, two are responsible for maintaining the RFP garden and administering community surveys, and the final Fellow serves as a community liaison, tour guide, and trip coordinator. The YEP program works to instill in students a deep sense of ownership over the programming and culture of the RFP. Through explicit, hands-on training in public speaking, professionalism, fiscal responsibility, and lesson facilitation, the YEP program gives students the power to voice their opinions and be true leaders at the RFP, and to create an inherently community-driven program.
True freedom is born in the pursuit of education. By engaging with literature, math, and more, Freedom Fellows have access to opportunities to explore the ideas and develop the skills necessary to take on leadership roles in their schools and communities, in college, and in life.
During Freedom Summer, students complete five weeks of rigorous instruction in math and reading that prepare them for success in school and put them on track to college acceptance. With instruction from our college teacher-advisors, veteran teachers, and volunteers, Freedom Fellows learn about the real-life relevance of literature and mathematics, and connect their studies to the pursuit of empowerment and justice in their own lives.
After school, Freedom Fellows receive help finishing homework, completing projects, and studying for tests during our study sessions. On Tuesdays, Freedom Fellows take a novel studies course, during which they read literature, complete essays, and engage in discussions that promote their identities and understanding of leadership through textual analysis.
The RFP is about much more than simply "keeping kids off the streets." We expect great things from our Freedom Fellows and, as such, take very seriously the responsibility of empowering them to compete academically with students across the nation. Fellows in their Junior and Senior year meet weekly with RFP staff members to prepare for the ACT, apply for colleges, and write scholarship essays. Once in College, Fellows have access to up to $3,000 in emergency loans, and can receive a modest stipend for participating in weekly mental health check-ins; this is all part of the RFP's commitment to helping our Fellows get to and through college.
Strapped for resources and frequently understaffed, schools across the Mississippi Delta are unable to provide students with many creative opportunities. Opportunities in the arts, however, have been shown repeatedly to produce happier, more inspired, more successful students. The RFP uses the power of the arts to engage students' passions, talents, and identities.
From drawing and painting to paper mache and collages, Fellows discover the power of expression and learn the tools that it takes to exercise it. During the summer, Fellows take five weeks of daily arts classes and, during the school year, they will receive one hour of arts instruction every week from veteran artists and teachers through a partnership with the Delta Arts Alliance.
Thanks to a grant from the Mississippi Delta National Heritage Area and a partnership with the Delta Arts Alliance, Freedom Fellows spent the 2016-2017 school year exploring the fundamentals of oral history and photography. As their culminating project, students created a mixed media storytelling project that explores the history and contemporary reality of education in Rosedale.
Through a grant from the Mississippi Humanities Council and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Freedom Fellows piloted a filmmaking program during Freedom Summer 2017. In the 2017-2018 school year, Fellows used their filmmaking skills to explore different genres of film, producing films on the middle-school garden in Shaw, MS, the Mississippi River port in Rosedale, and a short film on the history of the Rosedale Freedom Project. Some accolades of our young filmmakers include:
Production of over 10 films since our inaugural course in Freedom Summer, 2017.
Awarded $5,000 by Museum on Main Street to shoot and produce a seven-minute documentary on the Port of Rosedale for the traveling 'Waterways' exhibit, which is an adjunct of the National Smithsonian Museum.
Partnership with Blue Magnolia Films to produce five short photo documentaries on the history of Rosedale. These films were shown to over 2,000 people at an unveiling at the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum in Jackson, MS.
Freedom Fellows also explore the power of expression through drama. From exercises with dialogue, movement, and projection to production and script-writing to performance, Freedom Fellows learn the tools and value of theater. Fellows perform their plays, which explore issues of civil rights, justice, and truth, before audiences of community members and parents at our seasonal showcases.
In creative writing, Fellows are given a space to express themselves through new forms of writing. Poetry, short story, and speech-writing are all emphasized in a curriculum that encourages students to come out of their literary shells and to express themselves in positive and creative ways. Last year, Fellows presented their creative writing at a youth showcase in Baltimore, MD, and successfully submitted over 10 pieces to the Sunflower County Freedom Project Literary Magazine, which was released in April at a presentation at Turnrow Books in Greenwood, MS. This year, a YEP Fellow is responsible for co-teaching this course to new Freedom Fellows. Some of their work can be found on the official Creative Writing blog: Check it out here!
One major struggle for students in the Delta is exposure. Many students in Rosedale have not had the opportunity to leave the Delta, and this isolation puts them at an extreme disadvantage to their more affluent peers. The RFP, however, seeks to close this opportunity gap by offering our Freedom Fellows the opportunity to travel, visiting Civil Rights monuments, exploring the outdoors, visiting colleges and universities, and learning more about the history and culture of America. We believe that this exposure to new places and experiences, as well as the opportunity to be representatives of their home community, are essential to Fellows' leadership.
Over Freedom Summer, Fellows get to go to Alabama to swim in lakes, camp outdoors, and explore Civil Rights monuments in Birmingham and Selma. Our most dedicated Fellows end their summer by traveling to nearby Delta State University to stay in dormitories, explore college life, and take courses taught by our undergraduate Teacher-Advisors. During Freedom Summer 2017, Fellows had the opportunity to visit the DSU Planetarium, climb the rock wall at the Outdoor Recreation Lab, and swim in the DSU Natatorium!
During the school year, Fellows take trips to visit our various partners around the country. In 2017, Fellows traveled to Chicago and Batavia, IL, to tour universities, learn about activist journalism with our friends at City Bureau, visit a restorative justice program at Paul Robeson High School, and share our community's story with our partners at the Kaneland School District! In 2018, The RFP traveled to Baltimore, MD and Washington D.C. with a special partnership with the Park School. Fellows visited youth activist organizations, learned about the history of education inequity in Baltimore, and lobbied their congressmen and senators on Capitol Hill, demanding funding for their schools.
Obesity rates in America have doubled in the last three decades, and, despite its rich history of athleticism, Mississippi frequently tops this list, boasting a 35% obesity rate. Although there are many causes for this, two of the largest factors in this epidemic are physical inactivity and a lack of healthy food options. The RFP seeks to alleviate these pressures.
Through partnerships with the City Council and the Rosedale Family Medical Center, the RFP has planted a community garden. In the garden, Fellows learn how to plant, grow, harvest and prepare vegetables, and explore why healthy foods are so important to our bodies and our minds. Once harvested, produce is distributed to the community to promote availability and understanding of fresh vegetables! In 2018, the RFP hired Ms. Annabelle Guptill, a former Foodcorps member, to develop a food justice curriculum and expand our garden to 10,000 square feet.
Freedom Fellows also learn about the importance of exercise and physical activity through our fitness program. From volleyball and handball to mile runs and levee walks, Freedom Fellows engage in rigorous physical exercise, learn about stretching and caring for their bodies, and discover how fitness can be fun and exciting.
With generous donations from the Friends of Rosedale, private donors, and community members, the RFP runs a year-round summer feeding and after-school snack program, feeding Fellows nutritious and culturally responsive food. This food is prepared with the help of Fellows and Ms. Guptill, and is served daily.

A Letter of Encouragement
Dear You,
Life can be hard sometimes. We have these hopes and dreams painted in our heads but the universe is throwing out other plans, messing up the picture we painted. It can get discouraging. Sometimes we believe that it is easier to throw in the towel rather than to finish the picture. But it's not true. Don't you want to see the completed picture? Won't you feel better knowing you finished and gave it all that you have and some more rather than saying you quit? Once it's finished you'll have a story to go along with it.
I believe that the rough patches we go through are stories for later. It's an appreciation we develop when we're retelling them, despite how much of a burden those patches are in the moment. And let me tell you, it will be a beautiful story. A story that you will be proud to tell while living in the picture you fought so hard to paint.
So don't throw in that towel just yet! Wait until you're finished! Patience is a virtue. It takes time to craft your art. Wouldn't you be more proud to know you took your time and learned a few things in the process rather than half-assing it and it turns out to be something completely different than what you envisioned?
This is true with anything you do in life. Whether it be parenting, marriage, dating, your career, starting a business, writing a book, or even painting an actual picture, it is always better with patience.
You'll get there, I promise. But you know how you'll get there a little faster? It all starts with you. It starts with your dream, your thoughts, your mindset, your words, your actions. If they are full of negativity, then all you're doing is tarnishing your art. See the light and color in everything you do. See the good in the patches the universe is throwing at you. Don't lose sight of the bigger picture.
And let's be honest it is easier said than done, but with daily practice, yes daily, it can be done. If you need to, sulk for a little bit during the patch, then when your sulking is over, bask in what lesson the patch is teaching you.
I can't wait to see your beautiful art and I can't wait to hear the story to go along with it.
Love & Light,

CLEVELAND, MS - Jonathan Lawton poured in 21 points to help lead Florida Southern College men's basketball to a 75-67 upset of No. 25 Delta State on Saturday night at the GSC/SSC Challenge at Walter Sillers Coliseum. The Moccasins (1-1) trailed just three times during the game as they controlled the Statesmen (0-2) for the majority of the night.
The victory was Florida Southern's first over a ranked opponent since topping No. 24 Barry (74-72) on Nov. 18, 2015. The Mocs had three players score in double figures and shot 49.0 percent (25-of-51) from the floor. FSC returns to action on Wednesday when it opens Sunshine State Conference play at Saint Leo.
• Florida Southern set the tone early when Lawton got the Mocs on the board first to help FSC get out to an 8-5 lead in the first five minutes of action. Delta State was able to take the lead just moments later when PJ Davis connected from long range to make it 10-7. However, the Moccasins would answer back to take the lead (11-10) on Lawton's three-pointer with 12:34 to go in the opening half.
• The Statesmen would take the lead again when Matthew Wilson sunk a shot from beyond the arc to make it 13-11 with 11:18 to go. Again, the Mocs would respond with another three from Lawton to take a 14-13 lead at the 11:02 mark. Florida Southern would never relinquish the lead from there, building a double-digit lead (26-16) when Jack Rauch converted a layup and a free throw with 6:25 on the clock. The Mocs would take a 36-26 lead into the locker room at the half after connecting on 55.6 percent (15-of-27) of their first-half shots.
• Delta State was able to trim the deficit to just one point (47-46) midway through the second half and eventually regained the lead (49-48) for a brief moment before Tyler Ross connected on a layup to put the Moccasins up for good (50-49) with 8:23 to play.
• Leading by just six points (69-63) with less than a minute to go, Florida Southern sealed the victory by going 6-of-8 from the free throw line in the final minute of play. The Mocs finished the night 21-of-28 from the charity stripe, outscoring the Statesmen by seven points at the line.
• Lawton scored 21 points despite making just four field goals as he did most of his damage at the free-throw line (11-of-12). Rauch finished with 18 points and hit 8-of-9 free throws, while Ross scored 12 points and pulled down a team-high eight rebounds.
• Florida Southern improved to 5-3 all-time against Delta State, snapping a two-game losing streak to the Statesmen. The Mocs also moved to 2-0 when facing the Statesmen in Cleveland.
• The Mocs forced 13 turnovers, which they turned into 15 points on the offensive end. Florida Southern outscored Delta State 30-26 in the paint despite being outrebounded 34-31 and held the Statesmen to 45.1 percent from the floor.
• 11 different players saw action for the Mocs and eight different players scored at least two points. Rauch dished out a team-best four assists while Brett Hanson finished with three and Ja'Kwan "Slinky" Jones had eight points and six rebounds.
• Florida Southern opens SSC play at Saint Leo on Wednesday evening before facing Palm Beach Atlantic on Saturday at 7 p.m. in the home opener.

The plan of the ceiling becomes the most significant point in the inside of the bedroom. While creative design really isn't the priority on everybody's list, there are tons of individuals who feel trapped by the kind of their bedroom furniture and not able to work around it to really show who they are inside. There's various bedroom design if you're seeking to renovate your bedroom.
No bedroom is genuinely complete without an intelligent nightstand. Then you are going to want to appear at your bedroom as though it was your very first time within it. Whatever design you go for, do remember your bedroom is where you're likely to spend the majority of your time in the home. What lots of people like about fitted bedrooms is the chance to choose their very own co-ordinated scheme.

|Please excuse the unbrushed hair, Honey had got a bit hot at soft play!!
I was sent these two glorious hair bows for Honey a couple of weeks ago, one everyday blush pink one and one cream to go with her flower girl dress. They are so beautiful. Handmade by a very clever mummy who couldn't find quality hair accessories for her god-daughter. She filled the gap with these, they come in a rainbow of colours to go with everything and also come in baby or toddler size. They are made with the finest Grosgrain ribbon, which covers the clip also so as not to pull or catch on baby's hair, which is a must and gorgeous packaging. You must check them out!

I still get butterflies before a photo session, especially when it's for a friend. In this case, not only have I known Tina since our undergrad days, but this session was their first family photo session since becoming a family of four. No pressure, right?! Fortunately, they are such a beautiful family, inside and out. Many times I try to think of creative props to include in the shoot but for Tina and Arnold, they embody the simplicity and freshness of the modern day young family, so my goal was to capture them just as they are. To add a more personal touch, we met at Arnold's alma mater, Stanford University. This makes me think we better represent USC at the next session!
Here are some of my favorite photos - my absolute favorite sibling photo is definitely of the kiddos in this session - hope you feel the same way too!
Till next time, Ngoc

Sweden climbs in digitalisation rankings
Sweden climbed to second place in the latest Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) – an index that summarises relevant indicators on Europe's digital performance and tracks the evolution of EU member states in digital competitiveness. 95% of Swedes are online and Sweden tops the European country league when it comes to using the internet to listen to music watching videos and play games (91%), using video on demand (49%) and shopping online (84%).
Sweden gets higher scores compared with the previous year for fast broadband, digital skills and internet usage. Swedish businesses actively use digital technologies to improve efficiency, productivity and sales. In digital public services Sweden now ranks 5th, but open data is still an area where Sweden's performance is relatively weak.
Sweden continues to have the second highest number of ICT specialists. There is a comparatively high share of women working as ICT specialists (20%) and Sweden ranks 6th in this respect. Sweden is well advanced in digital skills but the persistent lack of people with ICT specialist skills could hamper economic development, the report concludes. The report on Sweden can be downloaded here.

The Only Remedy for Miscarriage (and Every Other Sting of Death)
Many were well-intentioned in those weeks after we lost our baby last summer, but condolences only go so far, only help so little. The babe we should have met this month was barely gone and friends and loved ones quickly quipped, "well at least you can get pregnant" or "you'll have other babies" or "God had a different plan." I understand. We say all sorts of nonsensical things when we lack the faintest idea of what should be said, what possibly could be said. There's a lot of grace.
But now, as I put one foot in front of the other through the week we would have welcomed that little person into the world, even as I sit here in stillness, relishing the womb-contained kicks of a growing baby girl, the grief undergirds every tender inch of my heart just a few inches north.
Loss lives under the surface of every scheduling conflict with Stephen, every pang of loneliness after almost a month of various contagious illnesses, every short fuse that's lit by toddler-ness in James. Waiting, wringing, twisting hurt simmers, boils over without notice, drips hot and hard down cheeks and chin.
On Tuesday I cried on the yoga mat, in the shower, on the bed, in James' rocking chair, and again later on the couch with friends.
No amount of gratitude for baby girl has remedied the sting of death.
And that's what the Spirit whispers as the tears just keep on coming.
The reason this hurts so deeply is that it is death. And there is only one Remedy for the sting.
Baby girl is not the answer, never made to sustain the weight of undoing cosmic decay. Only One defangs the fall by crushing the head of the lie-breathing serpent, by giving His innocent life over to death and rising victorious, leaving death in the grave.
Death stings today, and it will until Life reappears in the clouds. Until the One who is called Faithful and True declares "death shall be no more!"
This is why, those eight months ago, as I drove back to the blood-draw station again and again, submitting my skin to breaking just to be sure the signs of life were disappearing from my blood stream, I could only cry and sing along to one song.
Once for all the greatest sacrifice was made
Once for all His perfect love for us displayed
The Lamb was slain for all my sin and shame
Once for all, Amen.
It is finished! It's finished! Our God has made a way!
It's accomplished! King Jesus has risen from the grave!
It is finished! It is finished! The veil's been torn away!
Come ye, sinners, unworthy,
Come one, come all, and say!
In those moments I relished the refrain because of the comfort of the promise that my bleeding could not be punishment. All sin and shame were bled for on the cross, not in my body, not of my baby, not ever poured upon my own guilty head again.
But eight months later I keep relishing the promise that the remedy has been secured, once and for all. He never promised another baby or a healthily growing family. He never promised no more miscarriages or an escape from pain and heartache.
He promised that death had been defeated. And He promises still that the day is coming when every remnant of grief will be wiped away, when every sad thing will come untrue, and when He will give to the thirsty from the spring of the water of life without payment.
Once more I find deep comfort in that shortest verse in all God's word: Jesus wept.
Just before He undid death, Jesus let His heart be crushed by the death of a man He loved. Just before He called Lazarus out of the grave, Jesus cried hot, heavy, hard tears down His flesh and blood cheeks and chin. He let the sting of death wrap snug and jagged around His heart of flesh, His soul embracing the scars of what it was like to live on fallen earth, be made of dust, and let beloved dust die.
And so there is sweet release in not wrapping a bow around grief today, of living in the tension of death's "already" defeat and its "but not yet" destruction. This is reality. There is no sugary coating, but there is a fierce, if subtle, thrum of steady, reliable, victorious grace.

Throughout the Autumn season I love those burgundy lips and the browns smokey eye but each year I definitely mix up my make up. This year I have had this go to makeup look throughout the whole season and just had to share it with you all. I'll even show you all the products I use and I'll also add in a dupe of the Naked 3 palette which cost only £4! I'm totally in love with this makeup look and I think it's so fitting for the season and can work with so many outfits for day or nightwear.
I started by priming my face with the NYX Photo Loving Primer. I personally love a full coverage foundation, I have so much redness and freckles on my face I just prefer to cover it up. I used the Urban Decay All Nighter Foundation for this look, in the shade 1.0. It's so lightweight and absolutely full coverage, I used 1 pump for my whole face and it sits beautifully and all day long.
I then used the Maybelline Fit Me concealer in 10 Fair to cover those dark circles and topped it with the Collection Perfection concealer in 1 to highlight my under eye.
To bronze my face and bring some dimension to it, I used the Benefit Hoola Bronzer and a bit of the Revolution Iconic Lights and Contour Pro palette to do so.
Topping it off, I then used the Kate Moss Sculpting Palette in Coral Glow 002 and used the blush to add colour to my cheeks.
To finally complete the base, I used the Sleek Highlight Palette in solstice, for that extra glow to the high points of my face including my cheek bones, cupids bow and bridge of my nose.
I used the Iconic 3 palette by Revolution to make this eye look, it's a cheap £4 and is absolutely a dupe of the Naked 3 palette. It's super pigmented and long lasting, the shimmery colours are so sparkly and pretty on the eye and I just love it. If you're looking for a dupe of the Naked palettes, head to Superdrug or online for the Revolution Iconic palettes. They're fab! I took the palette and used the orange shimmery colour all over my lid, this is the dupe for the colour 'trick' and then I used the brown shade next to it in my crease, the dupe for 'nooner'.
I then put a thin line and flick for eyeliner using the Rimmel Glam' Eyes liquid liner.
I curled my lashes and then coated them in the Kiko Extra Sculpt Volume Mascara on my upper lashes and then the Benefit Roller Lash on my lower lashes.
I usually put a bit of the brown shade from the palette underneath my lower lashes too but this is entirely your choice. I then used the lightest shade from the palette underneath my brow bow and inner corner. I used the Maybelline Brow Drama on my brows and then I was finished!
I coated my lips in a gloss by Sephora, it doesn't have a name but it's a nude pink and I think it looks beautiful with the eyes. However, to complete this look you can use any nude lipstick with this look.
The lip gloss I used is from the Sephora collection brand and is in a limited edition palette which includes 96 x eyeshadows, 84 x lip glosses, 1 bronzer, 1 x mascara, 6 x cream eyeliners and 2 x eyeliners.
There is the finished look! I'm not a professional makeup artist and nor will I ever claim to be. It's simply an interest and hobby for me and I love to experiment with new products and keep up with the seasonal trends. If you liked this post let me know and I'll do more in the future.

EXAM. That horrible word that plagues so many students attending any educational institution. Why does an educator administer an exam? The answer is obvious….to torture and tear down the minds of their students. Just when you're feeling secure about the presented material, the word EXAM or TEST creates all new mayhem. That one word alone can make the calmest person shake and quiver. However, our disapproval will never make these awful assessments disappear. So, if you can't beat'em, join 'em! As long as students and teachers exist, so will EXAMS. The preparation a student is willing to devote to an exam directly correlates with the overall outcome of that exam. How are you going to guarantee a passing grade for your next college science exam?
1.) Don't Cram for that Exam
Usually teachers or professors will let you know in advance when each test will be during the course of the semester; sometimes two weeks, sometimes one week. The moment your teacher mentions the possibility of an upcoming exam, that's your cue to start studying. Whatever you do, don't wait until the night before an exam to review and study all of the material covered in previous weeks. DO NOT CRAM. Use every day prior to the exam to utilize your study skills. By reviewing the material a little each night, studying doesn't become so overwhelming. By allowing yourself small segments of study time, the information presented during your lectures can be understood and not memorized. Studying in advance will also enable you to discuss any questionable material with your teacher prior to the assessment.
2.) Know Your Notes Inside and Out
Educators give you notes for a reason….to detail the information they find important in a specific chapter or lecture. Therefore, it's only reasonable that the upcoming exam will cover those detailed aspects. Having taken and successfully passed several science courses, I found the majority of any science exam is composed of questions stemming from your notes. After all, an exam is not only an assessment of what you know, but also how successful the teacher or professor was in conveying their message. It makes total sense that teachers will include A LOT of their lecture on an upcoming exam. Review your notes until you can recite them by heart. Don't just memorize the material; understand the material. I found that rewriting notes in my own words helped me absorb and comprehend the information given during lecture. I couldn't just read the notes and make sense of the material. I had to write, write, and rewrite summaries of my notes until the material was ingrained in my brain. For those of you who are able to just read your notes and retain the information, I'm definitely envious!!!
3.) Practice Problems
Who's guilty of skipping the example problems embedded in or at the end of most chapters? I'm 100% guilty. Who has time to stop mid-chapter and do a practice problem? Who wants to do chapter problems that weren't even assigned as homework? Nobody. However, as my education progressed and I entered more demanding courses, I began to appreciate all of those problems within the textbook chapters. I realized the unassigned practice problems were greatly increasing my chances of acing that science exam. Remember when I said the majority of content presented on a science exam comes from your lecture notes? The remaining content of the exam is composed of problems very similar to those within and at the end of each textbook chapter. I've found that teachers and professors will choose MANY of their exam questions from chapter practice problems. The exam questions, while not word for word, will mimic both assigned and unassigned chapter problems.
Try these three study habits. They've helped me successfully pass seemingly impossible college science exams. What tricks help you ace your science exams? Let me know by leaving a comment. Please share! Thank you again and GOOD LUCK!!!

Gretchen W Craddock · Married on 14 of May of 2017
I "happened" on Lesley at LP Events to be honest because i went down a list and the first was unavailable. All I know is YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. She planned a wedding for us from Georgia..sight unseen and it was beyond perfect. She listens and hears exactly what you want and goes above and beyond to please you. She did FAR FAR more than what we asked. Her responses suggests that she never sleeps, she has endless contacts and knows how to get what you want for the price you want, she is relentless and truly wants you to walk away with ZERO regrets. It was magical and she made what could have been so stressful...an absolute dream. Few people get to work in their calling but we will always be grateful that we found her because her passion for her work and clients shows. If I could give this company a ten I would!!!!Sent on 11/01/2018

Japanese style futons is a holistic sleep product supporting healthy sleep and science of natural fibers. They are also very versatile in storage, having the ability to be rolled up without losing shape. The cotton futons are mostly stored away in Japan, where lack of space is common but it also helps to create good energy.
Traditional Japanese Futons are cotton futon mattress, not just on the outside but 100% cotton all over. In the prefectures in Japan, they are hand stitched with tufts to hold the cotton down. A Japanese style mattress is the great way to sleep as the natural fibers adapt and support our sleep structure efficiently, especially when laid against a hard surface
Inexpensive futons available in the US are nothing close to the real cotton futons. Japanese cotton futons do not have layers of polymer foams or even worse polyester mixed with cotton. A lot of these confuse you by using organic cotton fabric on the outside but then the layers underneath are artificial fills. A Japanese style mattress also does not use coil springs as that is a modern invention, it would impede the natural science behind your body resting on a soft but packed futon cotton surface.
Photo credit: Cotton Australia
Japanese mattresses are eco-friendly given their complete use of natural fibers. If you desire to help with the environment, these firm cotton futons are a wise choice. By eliminating foams in natural futons and not using coil springs, you help reduce highly intensive industrial outputs that pollute the earth. A lot of the marketing with 90 day man-made coil mattresses or futons make it easier to be allured with these mattress. Japanese futon mattress with fully natural cotton generates the least footprint.

Daylighting is the art and science of managing natural light to minimise the use of artificial lighting, reduce energy consumption, reduce carbon emissions and positively affect the performance, mood, enjoyment and well-being of people occupying a particular space.
Designing, predicting and planning for the impact of daylighting in a leisure space is often misunderstood. Daylight modelling removes the design mystery and determines the daylight requirements for any building be it a sports hall, swimming pool or other leisure facility.
It is not a new science but one which is increasingly important as reduced energy consumption is a continuing major consideration – as well as statutory requirements (such as European workplace directives) and personal well-being.
Many companies offer daylight modelling services and a few, such as Kawall, offer them free of charge when being considered for projects.
Daylight modelling as part of the design
It's often a mistake not to use daylight modelling as part of the original concept or design. Consequently, it is beneficial that this service is used early to help achieve the best possible results for the client and to form part of the overall building strategy and goals.
For example, the service can help with the documentation required to achieve BREEAM's health and well-being credit for visual comfort (HEA01) which requires that 80% of the occupied space meets a minimum daylight factor of 2% (3% for exemplary level).
It can help architects and specifiers with the following calculations:
1. The quantity of light transmitting materials
2. The location of light transmitting materials
3. The required transmission level of the light transmitting materials
4. Glare analysis purposes
Daylight modelling can help achieve an exact brief from the client – for example the lux level requirement or to address concerns about solar heat gain. It can help quantify daylight transmitting products, determine optimal light transmission and help with positioning on a building to prevent glare issues and provide interior lux levels.
The reports can be looked at from a cost point of view and recommendations made depending on the results. A good example of this is for Value Engineering (VE) where daylight modelling may show that windows can be reduced in size to save money yet still achieve the desired lux levels.
The report can include any or all of the following calculations:
Lux Level:
Lux is equal to one lumen per square metre. In photometry, this is used as a measure of the intensity, as perceived by the human eye, of light that hits or passes through a surface. For example, sports halls and classrooms would be expected to have lux levels of between 300-400.
Radiance Illuminance:
Radiance Illuminance (measurement of light level) is a snapshot of the ambient lux level (light) at any given time. This tool calculates how effective is daylight penetration at any time of the day or on any day in the year.
Daylight autonomy:
Daylight autonomy (DA) is the percentage of the time-in-use that a certain user-defined lux threshold is reached only through the use of daylight. DA is usually given as an annual value but seasonal, monthly and daily calculations can be made. It is the ideal way to achieve optimum natural daylighting conditions for the occupants, predicting when electric lighting may be required and thereby helping to reduce the cost of energy.
Glare Pattern analysis: This tool calculates luminance (measurement of glare) within a space. It is used to analyse direct glare or reflected light, such as in sports halls and swimming pools, where it is important to keep balanced light within a space to protect athletes from high contrast light ratios.
The graphic below shows direct glare coming through the windows into a swimming pool – excessive lux levels from unfiltered daylight.
The Process:
Daylight modelling is the way to calculate the most effective daylighting for any type of building. It is calculated using five years' worth of real world weather files at the exact location of the building as well as information on day, time, position and weather patterns.
In addition, a daylight modelling team will undertake this service using data provided by the architect or client. This comprises an indication of light levels required together with building elevations, floor plans and sections.
It also takes into account proposed internal finishes, which could influence reflectance, the positions of other windows and any external influences, such as tall adjacent buildings or trees.
With this information, the team can look at an individual room or at the overall situation and design the most favourable daylighting solutions.
Daylight modelling in practice
The Redgrave Sports Centre in Great Marlow is a new sports complex comprising multi-use hall, fitness suite and dance studio and a perfect example of the use of daylight modelling.
Due to its location, designers PTAL Architects were concerned about the potential issues with lux levels so they commissioned a free daylight modelling report. The daylight modelling team ran the tests and observed issues with the 20% light transmission specified – especially around the autumn equinox with the low sun position on the South East corner. Normally the canopy roof would reduce the direct sunlight but throughout the autumn months the sun would be lower thereby causing undesirable lux levels.
The daylight modelling report further directed the design team to towards a lower light transmission at 9%. As a result, it was decided to install Kalwall clerestory daylighting around the three sides of the hall as recommended by the study.
An added advantage is that the Kalwall system bathes the interior with natural diffused daylight to create an attractive ambience without shadows or glare.

Grey Hound Racing Dodge City, Kansas/
Yes, the Dick we knew in Hays was one of the boys. My dad and Rex Reynolds used to pick up stuff from the locker plant to feed their grey hounds. They had over 100 when mom and dad got married in 1929. There was a single man, kinda the homeless type, who stayed at the kennels which were west of town on US 50, now Wyatt Earp Blvd., and helped take care of the dogs. His name was Grover, and I can't remember his last name. I went to the kennel lots of times with my dad.
Charles Cobb, who was also a grey hound enthusiast and lived north and east of Dodge just south of the Saw Log Creek, built a fenced in course which was probably 300 feet wide by a quarter mile long. They used real jack rabbits and would hold the dogs until a rabbit was released and see how long it took them to run the quarter of a mile. There was a way for the rabbit to escape in the fence at the other end before the dogs caught them. The were captured in a pen and returned to the other end. We went to the race several times. Charles Jr. and I were boyhood friends and spent lots of time on the creek.

The object of The Jerome
To select the winners of the 32 NCAA Division I conference tournaments
HOW it works
You're allowed to pick one team per league, and you earn points based on how far it advances.
A trip to the finals earns two points for your The Jerome score, and a victory in the championship game gets you three more (for a grand total of, wait for it, five).
There are two bonus points available if your conference tourney-winning team meets BOTH of the following criteria:
it is seeded third or worse in that tournament's bracket (or second or worse in a league that uses divisions as seeding)
it plays no more than two games in the tournament on its home court.
So in some leagues, picking a winner means seven points for you
Making your selections
The 32 conferences are split into two groups based on the timing of the league tournaments
Week One – Pick Deadline: Monday March 4, 6:00PM EST
America East, Atlantic Sun, Big South, Colonial Athletic Association, Horizon, Metro Atlantic, Missouri Valley, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Patriot, Southern, Summit, and West Coast.
Week Two – Pick Deadline: Monday, March 11 at 6:00 p.m. EST
American Athletic, Atlantic Coast, Atlantic 10, Big East, Big Sky, Big 12, Big Ten, Big West, Conference USA, Ivy, Mid-American, Mid-Eastern American, Mountain West, Pac-12, Southeastern, Southland, Southwestern Athletic, Sun Belt and Western Athletic.
Click here or on the 'Send Them In' button at the top of the page to fill out your Week One picks. Week Two pick selection will open after the first deadline has passed- @Sendit_Interns and @TheJeromeXVIII will tweet a reminder when that takes place (you can also opt into an email reminder when you make your Week One selections).
Final Thoughts
Throughout the tournaments, you can find the most updated scores and standings on the 'News & Results' page; however, we will use opt-in email and our Facebook page (The Jerome) for periodic updates based on feedback from last year.
Questions? Hit us at those Twitter handles above (you can also follow Jerome chatter via #TheJeromeXVIII), or email firstname.lastname@example.com
The answer to the most popular questions is yes, our borders are open, so invite anyone you wish to participate. Pass along the link to the site and they can take it from there.
If any conflicts arise, all of The Keeper's decisions are final.
