We adapt slower to experiences than possessions. Read More
1. Make sure everyone-adults and children- gets enough sleep. That means going to bed at a decent hour.
2.Prepare the night before…and get the kids involved in this if you can. Prepare for breakfast, pack the lunches, pick out clothes, and maybe have a specific room/shelf/cubby hole for all school needs. This way everyone isn't running around like crazy trying to find shoes, backpacks, books, etc.
3. Adults should wake up before kids, so you can be extra prepared. This makes it much faster…and it's a great example for the young ones to see that they have an adult they can look up to. Be a role model!
4. Make your family a morning chart and get the kids involved in the preparation and execution.
5. Conditions and rewards: Make their favorite part of the morning contingent on what they need to do, i.e "When you make your bed, brush your teeth, get dressed, THEN we have breakfast." Read More

As a longtime fan of Apple products and the company's mastery of marketing strategy, I was initially in Apple's corner when it confirmed that it had been deliberately slowing down older iPhones. It was the only way to halt a much worse problem, namely that the devices would periodically shut down without notice. This all happened because the batteries would weaken over time.
But when Apple issued it's "apology" on Thursday (Dec. 28), it went so far out of its way to avoid the actual issue that it killed any sympathies I had. Indeed, that "apology" made the case better than anything else that this all indeed had been a marketing scheme to push upgrades/sell more phones. I have to assume that Apple's best marketing minds had checked out for the holidays when this note was crafted.

Corn Dog 7 returns to Central Mall
Updated 2:58 pm, Tuesday, June 12, 2012
There is some relief in South County for fair food fanatics who spend most of the year pining for a corn dog - a shop at Central Mall in Port Arthur.
"We posted it on our Facebook and the response has been incredible. It's a real nostalgic kind of a place," said Jodie Galloway, mall marketing manager.
Next to the Casa Olé near the Jason's Deli at the mall, a Corn Dog 7 - a national franchise - opened on June 2, serving up corn dogs, fresh lemonade, hot dogs, ice cream and cheese on a stick.
The shop is a walk-up eatery where customers order at the counter and dine elsewhere. The cheese on a stick is deep fried in the same type of batter as a corn dog.
This joins another snack-oriented shop that opened up at the mall earlier in May - the Pretzelmaker - located near the Dillard's men's entrance.

The global solar PhotoVoltaic market, despite worries about governments reducing initiatives, will be set to grow over 2011 driven by falling prices making the idea of PV installations more attractive.
Overall installations for PV in 2011 should add up to 20.2 Gigawatts (GW) which will be up almost half, or 42.7 percent, from 14.2GW in 2010 forecasts analyst and market research outlet iSuppli. This does show a slow down from the massive 97.9 percent growth in 2009 but is still encouraging in a market which is suffering from world governments taking a step back on incentives.
Germany, which currently leads the way in global PV installations, will be cutting down on its Feed-in-Tariffs (FITS) as well as Italy. Budgetary concerns in Greece, Italy and Spain means that 2011 will slow down compared to 2010. It's thought that the weakening currency in the Eurozone compared to the Chinese yuan will artificially inflate prices for solar cells along with other system components in Europe.
However, senior analyst at iSuppli Stefan de Haan says that contrary to some observers' fears, "installations will continue to rise at a prodigious rate next year."Modestly falling pricing for solar cells and complete PV systems are expected to more than mitigate the negative impact of the falling FITs and rising yuan."
As long as the US dollar/euro exchange rate stays above $1.20/€, iSuppli thinks that crystalline silicon solar cell prices won't increase this year, and instead will decrease by about five percent compared to 2010. Installation prices in 2011 will fall slightly more, at about 10 percent in Europe.
The decline means ROI for installation will keep smiles on faces and demand will still be there.
The charts will remain roughly the same, growing but still at a lower rate than in 2010. Germany, top dog in the PV game, will amount to 9.5GW of PV in 2011, a 43.9 percent increase from 6.6GW in 2010. Italy, which is second for generating solar power, should be set to install 2GW worth of PV in 2011, which will be up 53.6 percent from 1.3 GW in 2010.
The US will be third in 2011 with 1.9 GW, up 79.3 percent from 1.1GW in 2010. France and Japan, fourth and fifth in the charts respectively, should see expansion and cross the 1GW line for the first time.
The Czech Republic, which formerly has been doing well for itself in the solar energy market, will see installations plunge in 2011 to 150MW to 250MW for the year, down 1GW in 2010.
As we reported last week, while the UK will not be in the top five for a while longer, it will see massively healthy expansion in the arena with a growth rate of 1500 percent. While iSuppli has just released its forecast for 2011, it thinks that the market will suffer by 2012.
Stefan de Haan said: "iSuppli believes 2012 will be the year when the PV industry weans itself from the generosity of German subsidies. The German market will cool off and expand by only 4 to 5 GW per year for the next several years. We believe the government aims to keep an orderly progression in order to achieve an ultimate goal of around 80GW of installed PV capacity."

Everybody talks about optimizing the website as a whole, but it is of equal importance to optimize this single, most important page – HomePage (face of your website).
For almost all the websites, the most ranked and visited page is its homepage. So optimizing it makes a lot of sense. If you feel the same, then continue reading..
Here are some of the aspects that you can tweak, inorder to optimize your homepage:
1. Do not show full article on your homepage. If you are showing 10 full articles on your homepage, then it will take a lot of time to load.
And from users perspective, they may not have the patience to scroll down and digg your website looking for good content. Internet is full of information overload and they may just leave your website and go somewhere else.
On the downside, people need to do an extra click to get to the content, if you start showing post excerpts.
2. If you are showing only excerpts on your homepage, then try to limit it to 8 or 10 post excerpts. If you show 20 to 25 post excerpts on your homepage, then the user experience will again be bad.
3. Use less images on your homepage.: Images consume most of the bandwidth. Images can be used wisely to grab the attention, but if we do not take that extra care to optimize the image, then we will surely have to pay for that latter. It would be better to avoid more images on the homepage.
4. Use less advertisements on your homepage or no advertisement on your home page: The best example for this is Google. Google.com is the simplest and most used search engine in the world and still it doesn't have a ad on its homepage. Get a clue from it.
5. Optimize all the images that you are showing on your homepage, using some image optimization tools.
6. As far as possible, try avoiding if-else programs on your homepage. Ex:- Showing one ad to facebook visitors and other for Search Engine visitors and another for people coming from Twitter!
7. Remove the widgets and badges from the homepage. Retain only the most important.
8. Avoid animated contents from your homepage, inorder to speedup the load time of your pages and to not divert the attention of your reader, from the beginning.
9. Choose a proper webhost, with good uptime, speed of servers and support.
10. Make use of custom Excerpt option in WordPress and make the excerpts on your homepage more meaningful. Create enthusiasm or the need to read more situation to someone who reads the excerpts on your homepage!
11. You can lessen the ads on the homepage and put link or banner to your own interesting articles or categories of articles. This will give the user more options to navigate. And you can engage your reader for more time, showcasing good articles.
12. Remove the digg, tweetmeme and other buttons from the article excerpts. Show them only on the full post, if necessary.
13. Use labels: Label all the things properly on your homepage. Ex: Recent articles, Popular posts etc, for better user experience. Visitors must not feel, as if they have landed in a wild forest!
14. Test your optimized homepage: Testing is the only way to go. Big internet companies like Google rely only on its continuous testing. But Google, Yahoo, Microsoft has a lot of employees for testing. Now how can you do testing with your website/blog? Most of the times, owner of the blog gets blind to many components on the blog, like, the widgets, labeling, etc. So it is a good practice to arrange a party for your friends(who don't know about your blog) and tell them to surf and give feed back about 2 or 3 websites(one of which is yours!). Keep doing it once in a while. Do not over do it. You may just endup in testing and may forget the main element of the blog, which is content.
15. Menu bar: Most surfers are used to the menu bar placed at the top, than on the sidebar. So it must be clearly placed in a prominent position and do not mix it with your categories and other stuffs.
16. Show navigation menu or main menu both in the header as well as in the footer.
17. Make sure to have "Popular Articles" or "Recommended Articles" list on the homepage. So that first time visitors know where to look at, for the best contents on your blog. And with the best content, they are more likely to stick to your blog.
18. Show your subscriber count or Twitter follower count as a social proof, if you have some significant numbers.

Hotel Porto da Ilha Florianopolis Reviews
32 reviews
Simple and ok Aug 12, 2010
Im at this hotel for work.
Check in at 2pm and check out at 12pm
By the lounge u think it´s a good hotel... And it´s but too simple... The room for 2 is small like the beds.
Im at the 4th floor and there is a machine that makes a heavy sound even during the night. If u dont sleep as a rock like me, ask a room in the front or some floors up.
The shower is good.
The menu in the room is very poor. Not many options. Inside the room there is only water to drink.
Breakfast is very good.
Location: it´s about 25 minutes from the airport... They say that it´s an international airport but I dont understand why... There were just one claim to pick up the lugagges... Well... the hotel is in the centre and there are many places to have a good meal around... Im just too tired to do it... :-)
Comparing to other hotels I stay for business this one is very simple but I would recommend for someone with low budget and wanna visit the city and doesnt want to stay at the hostel.

A match-up of lavish talents but work-rate may be the key
Barcelona against Manchester United thrusts together six of the world's most outstanding forwards. The skills and natural ability on show will be lavish, but these sides will lean on different lines and angles of attack to unsettle their opponents.
For United Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez produce greater endeavour and work-rate than their opponents. Samuel Eto'o does not forage like Tevez, even if he offers as big a goal threat. Thierry Henry, if he shrugs off his fever, is not currently as threatening as Rooney. Ronaldo and Lionel Messi hold the key. Who will mesmerise us and produce the moments of major talent that separate the outstanding from the merely brilliant? Instinct suggests United will shade it.
United's pace on the break
Brimming with speed, control, power and skill, United boast the best counter-attacking players in the Premier League and are at their most dangerous when they are defending opposition possession in an area just short of their own penalty box. If they win the ball, they spring at pace to get to attacking areas so quickly.
Ronaldo's dribbling will attract cover from midfield but none of the other forwards on view can match his goalscoring prowess at present. His heading and free-kicks are wonderful. Rooney may be asked to play with discipline on the left side and he will need to be patient and help regain possession from Messi.
Switching the angles of attack
If Ronaldo starts on the right he will try to run at Eric Abidal, the left-back, and make him defend rather than support the attack. But that is not Barcelona's only worry. Premier League defences have found difficulty in containing United's threesome because they continually switch, meaning defenders are confronted with different movement and footwork from their direct opponent at different stages of the game.
That can be unsettling. Defenders like to feel and see their opponent, becoming familiar with the style and tricks offered up by the man attacking them. They like to challenge a forward's strengths on a man-to-man basis. The Barcelona right-back may find Rooney, Tevez or Ronaldo running at him at various stages. Ronaldo may favour bursting beyond the full-back on the outside, Tevez angling infield and Rooney can swerve this way or that. It is hard for the defender to become set.
Barcelona's menace down the left
Flanked by the dribbling Messi, Henry or Bojan Krkic, Eto'o will need to be at his most forceful. Pacy and strong, he has spent games wide on the right but prefers a central berth where his goalscoring comes into its own.
Henry, if he plays, also prefers starting in the middle but breaking out into the wide left, where he did his best work in the Premier League. After studying his habits, opponents would usually sit their right-back in their defensive area to reduce his movement into this channel. But every system has a downside and, as a consequence of such a defensive move, any attacking instincts from the right-back position had to be sacrificed.
Wes Brown, United's right-back, must be aware of Messi coming inside in open play and leaving space for Abidal to exploit. The rangy left-back's influence must be checked.
Messi's trickery down the right
When the left-footed Messi switches flanks, as he is sure to do, he will duck his shoulder and try to attack Patrice Evra's weaker right side. The Argentinian can twist and turn so well that United will need all of Michael Carrick's covering instincts to deal with him. Moreover, Messi plays clever reverse passes when Eto'o makes shallow runs across the back of defenders. If he goes too early, there is the chance of United catching him offside but he loves the inside-right channel and he and Messi have a good understanding.

I thought that I had already found my favorite breakfast place in Melbourne, Australia. Ladies and gentlemen, I am writing today to assure you that I was wrong. Marmalade and Soul now has that special place in my heart.
I'm not sure if it was the atmosphere, the delicious food, the simple decor, or the fact I couldn't stop wishing my family was in Australia to try it. I want them to fly from Florida to Melbourne just so I can treat them to Marmalade and Soul – I'd even be willing to pay. Maybe.
My boyfriend, Jack, and I ordered all our meals from the Specials board, but I already know what I'll get from the regular menu next time we go back.
First, let me talk about the decor. Exposed brick and white walls is about all a girl who has lived in New York can ask for. Then on top of that, they had about every kitchen decoration I have always wanted from Anthropologie, combined with cutlery and baskets filled with fresh fruit and vegetables straight out of a Williams Sonova catalogue. The kitchen is clean, lovely, organized and most importantly open for all to see, which means I got to creepily watch the chefs as they assembled my meal to be. There is nothing I like more than watching people make food, well, other than eating the food they make. I felt at home. I wanted to run behind the kitchen counter and offer my help, but I know that would be considered rude and a little annoying.
Second, the atmosphere. We originally wanted to sit outside, but the place was packed when we got there and we had no choice. That was a good thing in the end. I don't think the staff at any other cafe have ever been as excited to see my face – something which I selfishly relish in every once in a while. Everyone eating looked so happy to be there. Sitting by the cashier gave us the perfect location to witness customer's comments as they were leaving: "That was SO great", "We are definitely coming again", "Everything was PERFECT", and the list goes on. The only thing that confused me a bit (I hate even bringing this up) is that I had no idea who our waiter was. We had about four, all very helpful and friendly, but we never knew who to signal for.
Three, the food! I'm not the type to just pick a meal and go for it. I'm the person that picks about three dishes then asks the waitress for help. Our waitress (the one I think was ours) described each plate I asked about as "so beautiful", but said each is so different that it's up to me.
I ended up ordering the Ricotta Hot Cakes with Banana and Honey Butter. After my first bite, I couldn't help but feel butterflies as I was putting together each bite. A little bit of hot cake, with a some warn Banana and then I'd drag it across the honey butter sauce left over on the plate. It's too good of a way to start your day. My boyfriend got the Granola, Yogurt and Fruit a long with the Peanut Butter Pop Tart. I didn't try the Granola but oh boy, did I get to enjoy the pop tart. Contrary to, what must be, popular belief it wasn't a like toasted pop tart from your local grocery store. It was a tall tower of deliciousness. It came with a side of strawberry jam which I poured on every bite. Who would have thought jam and peanut butter were such a winning combination.
I must admit prices are a little higher than I was hoping for but sometimes a girl has just got to treat herself.

Furniture. Sunday , December 03rd , 2017 - 05:17:04 AM
Do not get discouraged if you cannot use Moroccan home decor in every room of your home right away. Moroccan furniture can be somewhat expensive, however when the quality and appearance are considered the cost is extremely reasonable. Start small by adding one or two pieces of Moroccan furniture or decorative accessories at a time, so that you do not go over budget and your home starts to benefit from the Moroccan home decor items that you can afford. Over time you will start to build up quite a collection, and your home will start to resemble those found in Morocco when it comes to luxury, beauty, and comfort.
The dining area of the living room can be created closet to the door that leads to the kitchen. The space can be defined with an elegant dining table, chairs and a chandelier. When choosing furniture one must consider the size and décor of the room. Traditionally, the smaller the home the smaller the furniture should be and vice versa for a larger house. After embarking on a home improvement project ensure that the quality of work is up to par by checking for any safety hazards. Furniture should not be blocking any exits and shelves, pictures and posters need to be properly applied to the wall with studs and nails to prevent injury.
You may have seen the trend of using a well designed huge wooden porch swing in some friends farmhouse, well consider it now all by yourself and enjoy intimate moments with your family members and get cozy with them. Wooden porch are almost built to tolerate different weather conditions and weight. However if a swing is left out for a long time outside your home, make sure to paint a stain coat in order to make it stay longer. Wooden porch swings are really fine pieces of furniture especially designed to provide you a way to spend your time outdoor. This is the reason for which wooden porch swings are gaining popularity all over the world and are in great demand offering a space for taking refuge.

Lakes Community Chapel endeavors to be a caring church, encouraging an atmosphere of inspirational involvement that will promote spiritual and numerical growth. We utilize creative, exciting, and relevant ministries resulting in dynamic Christians.
What Do SUNDAYS look like at Lakes Chapel?
Sunday morning at Lakes Chapel is a casual, family atmosphere that begins at 10:15 AM with a reading together from Psalms and a time of prayer. This time of worship includes music with our Worship Band and the message from Scripture by our pastor. We are studying through the Bible in 2016, a survey from Genesis to Revelation that reveals Jesus Christ as our only hope, our Savior, our King, from the beginning of the Pentateuch (Genesis through Deuteronomy) to the end of the New Testament book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ penned by the Apostle John.
Before the morning worship service begins the prayer room opens at 9:45 AM. We pray for each group that will meet this week from our nursery through our main worship service on Sunday morning. We pray for our pastor, the musicians, and the teachers and workers serving throughout the building. We pray for our youth group that meets on Sunday afternoons and our Discipleship groups that meet throughout the week. And we pray for you. We invite you to participate in this most important time on Sunday morning.
There is also a fellowship time beginning at 9:45 AM with coffee and a light breakfast, served downstairs in our kitchen. There is a Hospitality Room near the kitchen with a table, couches, and chairs where people may relax and fellowship together until time for the morning service.
Noah's Ark Nursery, Preschool Kids, and Kidz Zone Children's ministry workers are in their rooms at 10 AM to allow you enough time to sign in your children into their classes and get to the auditorium for the main service.
Following the 10:15 service, the "Come and See" Group, H20: A Journey of Faith and Essential Truths, meets September through May each year. Both H20: Journey of Faith (An Introduction to who Jesus is) and Essential Truths (Basic Bible Doctrine) are approximately 10 weeks in length. Please contact the church office if you are interested in attending these sessions.
Our youth ministry (LCCYM) for Grades 6-12 meets on Sunday evenings with our amazing and talented youth leaders, Ryne and Danielle. Ryne and Danielle are public school educators, highly energetic, and both grew up in homes with parents who served in full – time youth ministry. Activities and games begin at 5:30 PM followed by a Bible study, snacks, and more activities. Please contact us for more information.
On Sunday evenings Bible studies for adults during the school year. There are men's and ladies studies lasting 6-10 weeks in length. (Check back in August for information on this Fall's Bible Studies!)
Some past studies include:
Crazy Grace for Crazy Times by Derwin Gray
Radical by David Platt
Kingdom Man by Tony Evans (for men)
James: Mercy Triumphs by Beth Moore (for ladies)

What do you think?
Lately, the only part of Facebook that I have paid much attention to is my local badass breastfeeder group. Today, I came across a post where a mom was asking about getting her 11 week old baby to take a bottle. I was about to drive, so I replied quickly with this:
Why do you want the baby to take one from you? It is like having fresh baked cookies and offering stale Oreos.
I got home and this one person jumped all over me about it. I was trying to copy the conversation, but my computer is stupid today and I don't know how to take a screenshot on my phone.
What do you think about what I said?
*I'll update with the rest of the details when I can.
- Amy Elizabeth Hanrahan Why do you want the baby to take one from you? It is like having fresh baked cookies and offering stale Oreos.
- XXX Maybe she has to? Supply?? Not everyone can keep up with their baby and shouldn't feel bad about it.
- Amy Elizabeth Hanrahan I'm not trying to make anyone feel bad. Knowing what's going on will determine what advice is best for the situation.
- XXX "It's like having fresh baked cookies and offering stale Oreos"
- Amy Elizabeth Hanrahan It's the reason why most breastfed babies won't take a bottle from mom. It is a fact. Facts shouldn't make anyone feel bad.
The next few comments from her were deleted, but she disagreed that what I said was a fact and asked for some proof that a pediatrician has uttered that statement. LOL
- Amy Elizabeth Hanrahan I would never quote a pediatrician on a breastfeeding matter because most are not educated in lactation.
It IS a fact that babies have a super sense of smell and can smell their mom's milk even when she's in another room. Many babies refuse a bottle when they can smell their mother nearby because they want it fresh from the tap. I never said that ALL babies will refuse. There are some who will take a bottle from anyone.
- GROUP ADMIN: Admin post, I can see this is getting a bit touchy. Please remember this is a gentle parenting group and we ask our moms to be gentle in our responses, agree or disagree, being polite and kind is always expected.
- Another Preson: Because it's hard to read tone in text, I'm gonna jump in and say I *think* all Amy meant was that someone else should try to offer the bottle.
- Amy Elizabeth Hanrahan I'm sorry. I typed my initial reply really quickly right before I drove home from work and left out a lot of what I usually say. I guess it came off more critical and that was not my intention.
- XXX Yes, it came of rude and harsh and instead of initially apologizing you tried to justify your response. Making people feel bad because they have to supplement is just ridiculous. She was asking for advice on how to get her baby to take a bottle not a lecture on fresh baked cookies v.s stale cookies. Just kind of thought it was unnecessary.
- GROUP ADMIN: XXX, using terms like ignorant isn't helpful or kind. I was addressing the entire thread, not just Amy.
Apparently, she took it as I was attacking anyone who gave their babies bottles. I guess she supplements and felt like I was attacking her. I NEED to get my computer working so I can copy it.
Quoting shortyali: I don't think it's bad. Why would someone have an issue with that?!?
Quoting mama-smurf: What group? Te badass breastfeeder?
Quoting cabrandy03: Nothing you said was offensive. She probably feels guilty for whatever reason and is being overly sensitive.
Ehhh, I don't have much truck with anyone who takes Facebook that seriously.
Quoting aehanrahan:

Aluko eyes first World Cup goal to take England into quarter finals
Eniola Aluko was the leading scorer in England's World Cup qualifiers, the Chelsea striker hitting 13 goals as Mark Sampson's team won their group with a 100 per cent record to reach Canada.
As she prepares to face Norway in this evening's round-of-16 tie in Ottawa, after drawing blanks in her first two outings of the tournament to date, she is still waiting to score at a World Cup in what is her third appearance at the finals following China 2007 and Germany 2011.
"It's frustrating, but you just have to have the opportunities to score," said the 28-year-old.
"People forget that earlier in my career I was played out of position - I've played wide on the right, wide on the left, so I got fewer goalscoring chances.
"In the France game here I was asked to play a lone role up front and I don't think many forwards, if they'd stayed in that role throughout the 90 minutes, would have had many scoring opportunities.
"I'd love to score in every game, but you've got to look at things tactically.
"Sometimes you've got to do things for the team, but I was unlucky with a shot that hit the bar in the game against Mexico and then I didn't play in the last group match against Colombia.
"So all I can do when I'm on the pitch is try to get in the right positions and hopefully get chances to put the ball in the net."
Aluko has been getting moral support from her brother Sone, the Hull City striker, who's following her progress back home.
"I talk to him a lot before games and he gives me lots of advice," said Aluko.
"He's very proud of how I played against France, and if we go a bit further in the competition I hope he'll come out here and see me."
As well as advice from her sibling, Aluko is taking encouragement from the goal she scored when England last met Norway, a 1-1 friendly draw in what was head coach Sampson's first match in charge following his appointment in December 2013.
She was thus the first scorer in Sampson's tenure and, having prospered under his leadership, is now hoping to break her World Cup duck.
"I know that last match against Norway doesn't mean anything now," she said.
"As a forward it always helps psychologically if you've been successful and scored against a team. And it would be brilliant to score against them again, but we have to get a win against them this time, and that's going to be difficult. Norway are strong, physical, hard to break down.
"They got a great result (1-1) against Germany in their group and were actually unlucky not to top the group. We have to believe we can beat them though, and I'm confident we can do that."

Victims of the Brussels attacks
Victims of the Brussels attacks included commuters and travellers from around the world.
Here are details of some of those confirmed dead.
:: Gigi Adam's 79-year-old father Andre died trying to protect his wife during the airport attack. The retired Belgian diplomat had served as his country's ambassador to Cuba, the United States, the United Nations and other countries.
"His death has wounded us all forever," Gigi Adam wrote on Facebook. "All his life he had worked towards the peaceful resolution of conflict in the world."
:: American couple Justin Shults, 30, and his wife Stephanie who had not been seen since Tuesday's attacks, have now been confirmed as victims of the airport bombings.
Mr Shults, originally from Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and his wife, a Lexington, Kentucky, native, graduated together from Vanderbilt University's Owen Graduate School of Management. They were dropping Mrs Shults' mother off at the airport and watching her walk through security when the bombs went off, a family member said.
Mr Shults' brother, Levi Sutton, sais Justin "travelled the world, leaving each destination better than when he arrived".
:: Patricia Rizzo's family hails from a tiny town in Sicily, but she was as broadly European as they come.
Ms Rizzo, 48, was among the dead from the attack on Maelbeek station.
She returned to Italy from 2003 to 2008 to work as the assistant to the executive director of the European Food Safety Authority and in 2008, she was named human resources assistant for the EU's education and culture agency in Brussels. For the past five months had worked in the human resources department of the European Research Council.
Born in Belgium to a family originally from Calascibetta, near Enna, Sicily, she graduated from a Belgian university and worked for several Belgian companies as an executive secretary before joining European institutions in 1995.
"After a few days of excruciating waiting and angst, our worst fears have been confirmed," the ERC's executive leadership said, praising Ms Rizzo's energy, attitude and spirit.
Ms Rizzo is survived by a son and her parents.
:: Jennifer Scintu Waetzmann was a coach for a youth handball club in Aachen, Germany.
Her uncle, Claudio Scinto, told the German newspaper Bild that she and her husband were checking in at Brussels airport en route to a belated honeymoon in New York when the first bomb exploded.
The blast killed her and left her husband, Lars Waetzmann, among the 270 wounded.
Her final post on Facebook came right after the November extremist assaults on Paris. It said: "Pray for Paris." Other pictures show her and her husband in romantic seaside settings with the inscription: "Love of my life."
German interior minister Thomas de Maiziere said his thoughts were with her family and vowed Germany "will not rest until the murderers and those who aided them are held responsible".
:: Elita Borbor Weah, 40, who was heading to Rhode Island, New York, for her stepfather's funeral, had texted family members a photo of herself at the airport.
She had been living in the Netherlands with her 13-year-old daughter after her extended family from Liberia had dispersed across west Africa, Europe and the United States following Liberia's civil wars.
"She had a good heart," said her 14-year-old niece Eden Weah. "She was always worried about everybody."
:: David Dixon had texted family members to say he was safe after two bombs severely damaged the airport, but he was killed shortly afterwards when a bomber attacked the Metro system.
Mr Dixon, 50, a British citizen originally from Hartlepool , was working as a computer programmer at the time of his death. Press reports indicated he lived in Brussels with his partner and their son.
Prime Minister David Cameron said he was "deeply saddened" by his death.
:: Brother and sister Alexander and Sascha Pinczowski, Dutch nationals who lived in New York City, were heading home when a bomb exploded at the airport. Alexander, 29, was on the phone with his mother in the Netherlands when the line went dead, said James Cain, whose daughter Cameron was engaged to Alexander.
Alexander had travelled to the Netherlands to work on a craft-related business that he and Cameron were going to start together.
In November, Sascha Pinczowski, 26, had warned that demonising Muslims would help drive the recruitment of extremists. She posted on Facebook after the November 13 Paris attacks that "ignorant spreading of anti-Muslim sentiment and propaganda does nothing but benefit Isis".
Her message was reposted by her mother, Marjan Pinczowski Fasbender, who said she wanted to share "this message of tolerance from our Dear Daughter Sascha".
:: The Chinese embassy in Belgium said a Chinese national was killed in the attacks. He was identified only by his surname, Deng.
:: Peruvian-born Adelma Tapia Ruiz, 37, dreamed of opening a restaurant. She had lived in Belgium for nine years but still cooked the recipes of her homeland, preparing the spicy chicken dish aji de gallina for a food festival organised by the Peruvian consulate in Brussels last year.
The mother of two, who about to fly to New York to meet two sisters, was killed when a bomb tore through the airport's departures area. But a split-second decision saved her husband and four-year-old twin daughters Maureen and Alondra from sharing her fate.
Christophe Delcambe had taken the girls out of the check-in line to play for a moment when the explosion ripped through the concourse. One daughter was struck in the arm by shrapnel and is being treated in hospital.
:: Leopold Hecht, 20, gravely wounded in the Maelbeek bombing, died later of his injuries.
Classmates at Saint-Louis University in Brussels lit candles and left flowers outside the university in memory of Mr Hecht, whose Facebook profile includes pictures of a smiling young man on the ski slopes and in the great outdoors.
:: Civil servant Olivier Delespesse died in the bombing at Maelbeek station, according to his employer, the Federation Wallonie-Bruxelles.
