The Benefits of Massage and Bodywork
Massage and bodywork can help release chronic muscular tension and pain, improve circulation, increase joint flexibility, reduce mental and physical fatigue and stress, promote faster healing of injured muscular tissue, improve posture, and reduce blood pressure. Massage and bodywork are also known to promote better sleep, improve concentration, reduce anxiety and create an overall sense of well being.
Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress-related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. Massage is an effective tool for managing this stress, which translates into:
- Decreased anxiety.
- Enhanced sleep quality.
- Greater energy.
- Improved concentration.
- Increased circulation.
- Reduced fatigue.
Massage can also help specifically address a number of health issues. Bodywork can:
- Alleviate low-back pain and improve range of motion.
- Assist with shorter, easier labor for expectant mothers and shorten maternity hospital stays.
- Ease medication dependence.
- Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the body's natural defense system.
- Exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles.
- Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts.
- Improve the condition of the body's largest organ—the skin.
- Increase joint flexibility.
- Lessen depression and anxiety.
- Promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and stretch marks.
- Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improving circulation.
- Reduce postsurgery adhesions and swelling.
- Reduce spasms and cramping.
- Relax and soften injured, tired, and overused muscles.
- Release endorphins—amino acids that work as the body's natural painkiller.
- Relieve migraine pain.
1. Be as receptive and open to the massage process as possible.
2. Don't eat just before a massage session. Let your body digest your meal first.
3. Be on time. If you arrive in a frenzied, rushed state, it may take longer to relax.
4. Take off only as much clothing as you are comfortable removing. If you don't want to remove your clothing, wear clothing that will be comfortable during the massage and will allow the massage therapist to touch and move the areas of your body you expect will need to be massaged.
Privacy - The therapist will either leave the room or otherwise provide privacy while you undress. A sheet or towel is provided for draping during the massage and the therapist will uncover only the part of your body being massaged, ensuring that modesty is respected at all times. After the massage is finished, you will be provided with privacy while dressing.
5. Communicate with your massage therapist
Before the session, give accurate health information and let the massage therapist know your expectations and reasons for the massage.
Allergies to Oils, Lotions, Powders – The therapist may use oil, lotion or powders to reduce friction on your skin. If you are allergic to any oils, lotions or powders, tell your massage therapist, who can choose a substitute.
6. Some massage therapists play recorded music during the massage session. Others find music distracting. If it's provided, let your massage therapist know if you have any music preferences or if you would prefer they turn off the music.
Some people like to talk during a massage, while others remain silent. Tell your massage therapist what you prefer.
During the massage session, report any discomfort, whether it's from the massage or due to any problems or distractions related to the environment, e.g., room temperature, music volume, lighting, etc.
Give feedback to the massage therapist during the massage on the amount of pressure, speed of hand movement, etc. If anything happens that you dislike or seems improper, you have the right to ask the massage therapist to stop. If necessary, you also have the right to end the session.
Don't be afraid to discuss any apprehensions or concerns. It's important that you be as comfortable as possible during your massage. Your massage therapist is a professional dedicated to do his or her best to help you feel at ease.
7. Remember to breathe normally. Breathing helps facilitate relaxation. People often stop or limit their breathing when they feel anxious or a sensitive area is massaged.
8. Relax your muscles and your mind. Tightening up by contracting or hardening your muscles during the massage is counterproductive. Let your massage therapist know this is happening. They may need to adjust the massage technique they use and may also be able to help you relax the affected area. If you find your thoughts are racing during the massage, one way to be more body-centered and to quiet your mind is to follow the hands of the massage therapist and focus on how the touch feels.
9. Drink extra water after your massage.
Don't get up too quickly and do allow for some open, quiet time after your massage session. If you're dizzy or light headed after the massage, do not get off the table too fast. It also may take a little time to integrate or absorb the results of the massage session.
10. Be prepared to schedule several massage sessions. Massage has its greatest benefits over time. The therapeutic effects of massage are cumulative, so the more often you get a massage, the better you will feel and the more quickly your body will respond. From one session to the next, relaxation deepens as the chronic patterns of stress in the body are affected and released. If you're getting massage to address chronic muscular tension or recovery from a soft tissue injury, more than one session is usually needed.

Have you noticed that many of your friends now run a small business selling skin care, oils, leggings, kitchen gadgets, jewelry, wine and more?
They are pimping out products in Direct Sales or Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) companies.
You thought they were smart. They are educated and have a successful career.
You scratch your head and think why would they even do that? Why not go into selling used cars or timeshares?
Numbers Around MLMs
One in six U.S. households has someone involved in direct selling
Nearly three in 10 people involved in direct selling are Millennials
More than 77% of people involved in direct selling are women
52% of direct sellers are college graduates compared to 28% of all Americans
You're probably thinking you don't need me sharing numbers on it to know it's a thing. Your Facebook feed tells you. But why has it become such a thing for smart, educated women?
Workplaces Suck
We spent most of our waking hours at work. Surrounded by people, we don't love let alone really even like, and I'm not even talking about the bossholes we work for. That's for another day...
The environments that we work in suck. No amount of free Coke (the soda), table tennis, and trendy open collaboration space (that no one likes, except you bosses that have an office and think they are a good idea!) can cover up a miserable place to be.
We get through the day clock watching as if it was an Olympic sport until we can get the hell out of there. We step into our car sanctuary where we can control the temperature (unlike in the conference room) or hop onto the metro, earbuds in silencing out the world, listening to the Hamilton soundtrack in peace thinking about if only duels still took place... Heading to our comfy home to ditch the scratchy power suit surrounded by people and pets that get and love us.
Tomorrow we do it all again, living our own version of Groundhog Day.
The Dream Of MLMs
What if there was another way?
Multi-level Marketing companies tap into a need people have, especially women and give them something they aren't getting in today's or yesterday's (MLMs have been around a long time) workplaces.
MLMs provide a sense of purpose, community, support, development, achievement, with the freedom and flexibility to work wherever and however you want. You're your own boss and can diffuse essential oils all day in your space, and no one cares.
Here's what some in Direct Sales have to say about it:
The ability to have control of your work and time makes MLMs very attractive to some. Even if they aren't making bags of money, they just may be getting rich in other ways.
If you're a boss or co-worker and have people on your team who are part of a direct sales company, realize, they haven't lost it. There's probably something missing, or they need in their current work. Ask them why they do it? What do they like about it? Take that info and think about what changes you can make to your workplace to provide the support, create the environment, and experience people are looking for.
Seriously, Why Do People Join and Are They All That? My Year In An MLM
As a multi-passionate, lifelong learner of all things with a curiosity around people, behaviors, and motivations I have been fascinated for years about direct sales business models, systems, and processes.
I did the unthinkable for a nice, smart, highly educated, successful woman of the world. I joined an MLM. I reached the company and its leadership before diving in, and I used the products.
I spent a year in the MLM learning all about the industry, getting some amazing personal development, and making some lifelong friends along the way.
There are things I really liked about it and others not so much. If curious or considering joining a direct marketing biz/MLM I put together my Top 5 Things To Love About Direct Sales. You can get it below.

Booze is pretty great, but there is one downside to that fact: everyone knows it. And therefore, bar-goers frequently have to contend with overloaded spaces where it can be nearly impossible to order something, let alone get a line of sight to the bartender or raise a hand without accidentally hitting someone in the face.
So in order to figure out how to best position yourself and place an order at a crowded bar, we talked to bar master George Ruotolo -- owner of Whiskey Town, Whiskey Tavern, the Whiskey Brooklyn, the Whiskey Annex, and the Grand National -- to get the scoop.
Here are the tips you need to know to get the best service.
1. It pays to look friendly.
"It might sound crazy, but when a bartender is in the weeds, everyone is looking at them and wants something from them. A smile goes a long way from a customer," says Ruotolo, who also suggests raising an arm in a non-threatening way. He recommends using a half-raised hand, somewhere between a tepid wave and an aggressive salute (which would probably send the wrong signals).
2. There are areas of the bar you should aim for... and parts you should avoid.
The waitstaff area, where the waiters and waitresses tuck into the bar to get drinks for tables and process checks, should be avoided at all costs -- it's a high-traffic zone and is going to be the most difficult place to push up to the bar.
The bartenders' station, where most of the drinks are made, is where you're going to want to aim for -- the bartenders are always going there, and your chances of getting the attention of one of them are much higher. Also, the area around the register is a sure bet as well.
3. Ultimately, remain calm and don't take your frustration out on the bar staff.
George says: "Never speak to a bartender when you haven't made eye contact. Don't yell drinks at them when their head is down. No waving, snapping, or 'yo's. Ultimately, assess the situation, the bartender's stress level, and ask yourself, 'If I was in their shoes, how could I get my attention?'"
Other than that, it's a game of knowing the areas of the bar where you can get service (i.e. don't try to order from behind a seated couple that's making out on top of the bar), easing forward towards the countertop, and good old-fashioned common sense. You've got that... right?
And don't forget to tip well -- the bartender will definitely remember you the next time you push past those couples to get a drink.

Free Cover Photos for Facebook
Wrong. So wrong.
One of the most vital elements of a business's Facebook page is the cover image. It's like the window display screen of your store-- if it's dull or awful, it won't produce interest.
So what should you put in your social networks store window? Here are 8 amazing concepts for producing the Facebook cover picture of your dreams, influenced by brands who currently have an impressive visual presence. Prepared to obtain begun? Here we go!
Free Cover Photos For Facebook
1. Line up to the Right
Where is your profile image? On the left side of your profile. So where should you put words, essential images, or graphics when you're developing a cover picture? On the right. It's a quite simple principle, but you 'd be surprised at the number of individuals and businesses mess it up.
On the WB's page for the fictional Harry Potter, the photo is put so that the focal point is clearly noticeable. Absolutely nothing of real interest is obscured by the profile image, and the page is compositionally balanced. Benefit tip: whenever you use a picture of a face, the person must be "looking" in the instructions of your content-- in this case, the cover image.
2. See the Huge Photo.
Your profile image will hide a small area of your cover picture, however you can make that work for you-- simply search for the huge photo! A few of my favorite cover photos are those that include the profile image as part of the bigger image. These ingenious pics actually stand out.
You see exactly what I indicate? Carlsberg uses their profile image to enhance their cover picture (and highlight their item, the beer itself).
This Captain Morgan cover photo/profile picture mash-up is so smooth that, at first look, you may really think that the bottle is on the page! Note that the profile image works well separately of the cover picture. When you see that icon turn up in your newsfeed, there's no mistaking its source.
3. Be Your very own Signboard.
Facebook is about making connections and showing off your fun side, however it's likewise a place to develop your brand. Consider your cover photo as complimentary signboard area on one of the most popular social networks worldwide-- utilize it!
Adhering to the "Start Here" style utilized in their television commercials, CarMax developed this appealing, top quality advertisement for their Facebook cover picture. Aesthetically pleasing, this intense and uplifting image likewise assists to reinforce CarMax's brand name.
In this cover picture, Cvent got a bit more specific in marketing their services. Who requires an "About" area when you can put everything that has to be stated onto your cover picture? Keep in mind that the image's background is really basic, keeping the text-heavy image from appearing too crowded.
4. Use a Call-to-Action.
From my college communication classes, to marketing seminars, to conferences at work-- if I've discovered the fantastic significance of any one thing, it's your call-to-action, or CTA. Social network is a powerful tool when it pertains to lead generation, and consisting of a CTA in your cover picture motivates visitors to act. Whether you wish to get likes, visits to your website, or entries in a contest you're hosting, a cover picture CTA will help.
Marketo is currently utilizing their Facebook page to promote The Marketing Nation Summit, utilizing a cover image CTA. As in the example from Cvent, a downplayed background image makes the CTA pop.
Wishpond uses their cover picture to overtly welcome readers to take action, with an actual arrow indicating the area where viewers can enter their contest. This is a fantastic example of how a cover picture can drive people to act.
5. Introduce Yourself.
Are you happy with your group? Do you wish to display your personnel? Do it with a cover photo!
n this older cover photo, The New York Times takes you into their workplace and reveals you their entire staff. It's a great check out the huge, stunning office of individuals who compose the news that you read.
Not quite as big as The New York Times? Not a problem! This small marketing agency uses their cover photo to show potential clients that they will not be working with a huge, "faceless" corporation.
6. Appeal to Emotions.
While turning your cover picture into a CTA or a signboard can be fantastic, a mentally resonant cover image can be similarly efficient.
Facebook's own cover photo is a best example of how images can tap into feelings. It also is completely on -brand name. What is Facebook about? Linking. Exactly what does this picture communicate? Connection. This image comes down to the heart of social networking, and makes visitors feel favorable about their brand.
This Toyota cover photo, which is about two years old, also tells a specific, emotionally resonant story with only a single image. Visitors will immediately associate Toyota with liberty, and with taking pleasure in the trip of life-- no words required. Plus, who does not love a delighted canine?
7. Stay Real to Your Brand.
There's nothing worse than a brand that alters mascots, mottos, or jingles each day. Individuals like consistency and familiarity, and your Facebook cover image is an excellent location to strengthen your familiar message.
Ben & Jerry's, for instance, has actually constantly had to do with the cows. Their Facebook cover image doesn't stray from that fact.
Nike enhanced their brand name with this simple, simple cover image. All that they need is their familiar Nike swoosh, and their renowned "Simply Do It" slogan. They have actually said everything they have to state.
8. Start a Discussion.
A hashtag is an effective thing, my good friends-- recently, we've even seen hashtags play a function in political revolutions. When you throw a hashtag onto your cover image, you have the power to get individuals talking.
Coca-Cola's existing cover image consists of a colorful logo design, an image of three young ladies wearing sports gear, and a mysterious hashtag. You inform me that you're not curious.
Ford Mustang's cover picture hashtag is less mysterious, but similarly powerful. You can utilize the hashtag to search for "#Mustang" and see exactly what other individuals are stating about this famous sports car.
This has only been a short sampling of the fantastic cover images I've seen. What are a few of the most innovative, engaging, or stunning brand cover images you've come across on Facebook?
Such articles Free Cover Photos For Facebook from my thank you for visiting hope can help you.

Sometimes it takes very little to turn the ordinary into something memorable. If your willing to change things up a bit, you can have fun with really, very little effort.
The other day the kids and I baked some cookies for a care package, but we saved some to enjoy with Daddy after dinner. While we don't have dessert everyday, a chocolate chip cookie after dinner is not all that memorable.
The kids had the idea of eating our cookies under the table.
This simple action turned the ordinary into extraordinary.
They were delighted to have all 5 of us crammed under the table enjoying our treat.
We started with a girls side and a boy side.
This didn't last for long as the girls soon enjoyed climbing over the "gate" in the middle to be with the boys.
I love this picture because of my youngest. You can totally tell she is saying cheese as she shows off her mouth full of chocolate!

Varganatt is a VR-game centered on using the available room space to depict a steam locomotive instead of teleporting through a larger environment. The game takes place in a scandinavian fantasy world, filled with wonders and monsters inspired by Norse mythology and folklore.
As sound designer I have edited and designed sound effects, as well as tackled the various challenges of implementing audio for VR (e.g. having to design a sound as a loop, which through the implementation sounds like a one-shot when listened to in-game). The game is developed in Unreal Engine 4 with FMOD for the audio implementation.

Warning:This gets a little personal-sorry if I offend
It's hard to write down what I am feeling today-I don't want to sound selfish or inconsiderate or sensational. Here goes...all this horrible devistation is literally making me sick. I don't know what to say about the hurricaine victims and the horrible atrocities they are dealing with right now. Please, if you can, read this
Two years ago, my good friend, Brandon, drowned saving another friend, Rene's life. I thought a lot about how awful that must have been for him. I think that is an awful way to die. His death made me clean up a lot of things in my life and made me examine it truthfully. It is moments like this where we must band together and feel, and act and react. Complacency is not an option. Please donate whatever you can. Please FEEL this. Please wish, hope, and or pray for these people.
Our country needs to re-examine a lot of things. We need "group therapy". We must band together and not turn away. What do you think? What do you feel? Jenny at Queenthings is auctioning a collage, Hillary at Wee Wonderfuls is donating her talents, too. I'm sure many of you have seen the etsy red cross store. I just feel the need to write, it calms me...
September 11,2001 was a huge turning point in my ideals/ life...I feel this will be a re-affirmation of that day. At the time, I was the editor in cheif of my campus newspaper-I wrote ALL the time-journalism was my life. I woke up early that day-to meet a deadline. I woke up to a phone call from my brother telling my mom to turn on the tv. I watched the 2nd plane hit the tower-I froze. That whole day was a sick, twisted, horrific blur, -that was the day I decided I could never be a journalist. The day I decided I HATED our president. The day I was truly sickened by the lack of introspection in my country. I hope our country can come together during this tragedy.I hope this is not offensive-but you know-this is my blog-my journal-sorry.

Timid Prayer
I've talked with friends who don't know why they pray. It's a legitimate struggle because of their theology of God. If your theology leaves you timid in your prayer life, your theology is wrong, or, at least distorted. And, no, I don't care how many scripture verses you have to support your perspective. The enemy uses scripture too. What I'm concerned about is fruit. Jesus said, "Judge a tree by its fruit," not, "Judge a tree on it's ability to properly define its species, genus, family, order, class etc." In other words, for a non-teacher saint in the kingdom, it doesn't matter why we have the fruit that we have in our lives, what matters is having fruit. Some saints can talk all day about the theology behind prayer, but when it come down to actually praying they hardly ever practice it, let alone practice it boldly. I would rather have saints who have active and powerful prayer lives than saints who can teach on prayer.
Let me curb your mind. I'm not attacking Calvinism, and if that's where your mind went right away, I would do a heart check and ask your heavenly Father why you are so quick to point out the speck in this or that person's eye. It's true though, I know Calvinist friends who struggle with, "Why should I pray if God is going to do whatever he is going to do anyway?" If that's you, then yes, I believe your theology has been distorted by the enemy. I also know hard-core Free-Will-ites who won't pray for God to move people or change their minds, hearts or lives because, "God doesn't violate our free will." Well, your free will stance has just limited what is or isn't "okay" to pray for. Let's be real though, God wasn't really a gentleman when he knocked Saul of his donkey and blinded him, traumatizing him to the point of not eating or drinking for three whole days!
So maybe God controls every smallest detail and maybe he delegates his sovereignty to humanity, but if you're not willing or able to pray boldly, then you have a messed-up view on God. I'm not a Bible scholar and I won't claim to know all the answers. I'm definitely not going to tell you which theology is right or wrong. I'm just saying, either way, you need to be able to pray.
Hebrews 10:19 says that, "we can boldly enter heaven's Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus." We all love the idea of being in the very center of the presence of God, but when the priests entered the tabernacle, they weren't simply representing themselves. On their very clothing they wore the representation of every tribe of Israel right on their chests, displayed as beautiful and precious stones. And on their shoulders, two stones with every name of every tribe written on them.
We are a royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9) and when we approach God, we don't simply represent ourselves. We represent our communities, friends and family. This is why we approach and pray boldly, because there is more on the line than just our own personal existence. The thing to remember is that our reason for beingable to approach boldly is because of the finished work of Christ.
Reading through the book of John we see all sorts of scandalous statements by Jesus that we quickly explain away because we just don't think that Jesus could possibly have meant what he said. It's just too crazy to think that when Jesus said, "You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. Yes, ask me for anything in my name and I will do it." that Jesus actually meant exactly what he said! (John 14:13-14). We are quick to chime in and qualify his statements and make sure everyone is clear on what that versedoesn'tmean. I'm done hearing about what that verse doesn't mean. I want to know what it means. Jesus didn't say that so that and then have it included in scripture so that we could know what he didn't mean by it.
This is a call to restore bold, unhindered prayers. Let's stop allowing our theology about God to define what we believe God can or can't do. Maybe our prayers do change the course of history and maybe our prayers do change people's hearts and maybe God does have power death literally raising the dead to life! Maybe I could stand out in the middle of thunder storm and command it to stop in the name of Jesus, bringing glory to the Father. Maybe God can shut down strip clubs, bars and drug houses against people's will. And maybe that power and authority lives inside of us, waiting for us to release it on the world.
If your theology leaves you timid in prayer, it is wrong.

California exceeded the 10 percent mark, largely because sneaky college Democrats persuaded the state party to hold many delegate elections on campuses. That'd be like Republicans choosing all their delegates in VFW halls. But the plan worked. California sent more young delegates - 49 - than any other state; in fact, there are more young Californians than there are total delegates for 22 states. "I'm sort of over the hill, washed up," said 27-year-old delegate Jeff Millman.
I also heard that there was a lot of hooking up among the youth delegation. "It's a mass orgy! It's awesome!" said delegate Dan Schneider, 31, who, admittedly, was pretty wasted and totally sarcastic when he told me that at a party at 2 a.m. After about 10 belligerent minutes spent mocking me, my reporting skills - and then me and my reporting skills - Schneider told me that despite my assertions to the contrary, the young delegates were not dorks. "If they have to campaign and caucus to win, they have to be ebullient. If that means dynamic, if that means attractive, so be it. They're not nerdy."
But the ringleaders of the campus vote push? Not ebullient enough, it seems. Nick Warshaw, 21, the president of the California College Democrats, and Rocky Fernandez, 30, the president of the California Young Democrats, each managed, somehow, to lose their election for delegate.
"I got my butt kicked," said Warshaw, a senior at Claremont McKenna College. "I lost to an older gentleman who took off two months from work."
The downside of having so many young delegates - and so many politicians desperate to be liked - was that it jammed up the after-party scene.
"It's a lot harder to get into these things than in Boston (in 2004)," said delegate Becca Doten, 29. She tried to get into Wednesday's "Unconventional '08" party, hosted by San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom.
Doten was elected to be a delegate at a downtown Los Angeles restaurant called Chop Suey, where only one guy showed up who wasn't dragged along by a friend in the running. So all four wannabe delegates delivered speeches directly to him.
Doten said having so many young delegates helped the Democrats reach out to young voters. She seemed to do this by constantly updating her Facebook status with convention news along the lines of "This is awesome!"
Schneider claimed he even won over a lot of his moderate Republican friends this week. "I'm on the floor texting them. I've sent 3,000 text messages over the last four days," he said, making me look at many of them.
Still, as much fun as I was having because of the 10 percent youth rule, I couldn't help but feel as though young people stole the one massive party old people throw for themselves. I just hope that next week at the Republican convention, the GOP doesn't skew so not-old. We have to leave those people something.

Yesterday, I shared a silly blooper reel with y'all of Katie Farrin's (of Lovebird Productions) and my taping of the "Welcome to the Wedding Closet" feature. It was super fun and we hope to make this "finding an outfit for any wedding theme in your closet" thing a regular series.
A Few Things We Discovered:
- Finding the right outfit for an occassion entirely from your closet is totally possible. If you need a fresh eye, invite a friend over to help you.
- If you are missing one key component from your own closet then, before shopping, ask a friend if they have one to loan you.
- Play. You might be surprised with the awesome combinations you come up with.
- Keep weather in mind and pack a wrap (just in case).
- Old make-up bags can totally look cute as a wedding clutch.
- Scarves can easily double as wraps.
- NO ONE brags about spending a buttload of money on a pair of shoes but EVERYONE brags about the deal they scored.
- Katie's closet is way, way, WAY nicer than mine. Mine has guns in it.

Yes, people, Hans Christian Andersen wrote novels, not just fairy tales. He wrote six novels, 51 drama (plays and similar), 25 travel literature and four auto-biography among other things. I didn't know this when I stumbled over his book To be or not to (be) in my grandfather's bookshelf. I've seen the translation in English as both To be or not to and To be or not to be. It depends on the translator. In Danish the title is At være eller ikke være, (To be or not to be), and in Norwegian the title is Dagen i Morgen (The day tomorrow). The Norwegian title sounds better in Norwegian.
By the title alone you can guess that this is a very philosophical book, borrowing the title from one of the most known philosophical discussions in western literature.
Aye, there's the rub,
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause. There's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovered country from whose bourn
No traveler returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
– Hamlet, Act III, scene I
While this soliloquies starts with the question whether Hamlet should kill himself or do something towards the problems he is in, it develops into a question of if there is something out there, or more precise, if there is a god. The argument against suicide in the text is that, if there is a God whom has said killing yourself will put you in hell, surely suffering a few years is worth not receiving that punishment. Put more bluntly; I can't risk killing myself for fear of being sent to hell if God is real. To quote Hamlet
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all – Hamlet, Act III, scene I
In a similar way, To be or not to (be) is about faith, about the question of what one can believe in (one god, which god or in no god). This question was quite common among H. C. Andersen's contemporary writers.
The Danish Golden age as inspired by the German romantics. It reaches from about 1815 to around 1850. With the Danish literature at the time there was a focus on a spiritual literation. This covers more than a purely "God is dead", but was a way to explore and unify spirituality, philosophy and religion.
To be or not to (be) is a part of this unification. The story is about a boy whom is adopted by a priest, and when he goes to university gets interested in the natural sciences.
"It's the miracle of our time" exclaimed Niels.
"That's how it can appear" said the old priest, "But it is man-made. Don't give them a holy name."
– To be or not to (be), IX, my translation
The book presents the old archaic faith, what happens to faith when faced with the technological breakthrough that where happening at the time. The book also dives into how faith can change and about how faith can face war and death.
While the protagonist Niels takes a stand at the end, I didn't feel like the book was mocking one group of people, or saying one faith (the faiths mentioned in the book were Christianity, Judaism or Atheism) was the correct one. I felt like the book presented these people in a positive light, showing both the positive and negative sides, and trying more to find a common ground than picking a side. I also enjoyed the theological discussions the books raised, especially about whether or not having a faith in a god meant that you couldn't be interested in natural science and technology or if it was rather a celebration of his/her/their work. I was captivated by how Andersen worked around talking about how people of different faiths can live together in the same society and be there for one another.
"Do you believe," the sick asked "that there is a life after death?"
The word where uttered so severely they moved him in a fundamental way, him that didn't believe in that kind of life. He didn't respond. The question made him uncomfortable. He couldn't give an answer against his own beliefs, but in this circumstance to tell him "No, I do not" was impossible. "Is there a life after death?" repeated Julius with a weak voice.
"The Christian believes so" he said.
"Yes," exclaimed the dying, "Esther says so". He bowed his head and his eyes closed never to open again.
– To be or not to (be), VI, my translations
To me, this is one of the best books about living in a multi-faith systems I have ever read. How can and should we live in regard to change and when it comes to people with a different life stance and faith system than ourself. While the book is respectful, it also doesn't shy away from the difficulty of the theme, even including two different stories of children choosing a different path than their parents.
The writing style is filled with the fragility and depression of Andersen's fairy tales. It is a slow build that I could have been without, but it it is worth the wait. The slow parts in the middle becomes a welcomed breather to digest everything.
Now the biggest aspect of the book is that while the subject matter is complex, the book is an easy read. The same way that his fairy tales are easy reads despite talking about self-sacrificing oneself in the name of love (The Little Mermaid), the barrier between machine and living things and if we can get the positive from living things if we treat them as machines (The Nightingale) or if evil is something someone is born with and unchangeable or if people can change if you are willing to put in the effort (The Snow Queen).
More fairy tale writers should write novels on heavy topics. In a time when some themes (like different faiths) is considered so controversial we need books like this one to present them easy and respectful. Happy reading.

If its TOUGHENED safety glass, it will shatter into millions of pieces if you try.
You can tell, by looking a the edge of the glass. Laminated glass is two distinct panels, and usually more than 1/4" thick.
If its LAMINATED, its cuttable, with difficulty. It requires great precision, scoring BOTH sides of the glass with a good quality glass cutter ONE TIME only, then break along the scores VERY gently.
Once cracked, the plastic film between the sheets must be cut.
Cutting 1/4" thick safety glass Answered
I have a shower screen of plain 1/4" safety glass which I need to cut and re-use. Could anyone let me know the safest and easiest way to cut this?
Any help would be appreciated.
If its TOUGHENED safety glass, it will shatter into millions of pieces if you try.
You usually use a glass-cutter. But I'd advise tht you find a place that cuts glass to size and ask them.

Happiest and sweetest Easter wishes Everyone! What would Easter be without something pretty to eat? I have always loved the spirit of Easter for its cheery and colourful charm since I was a little girl and the magic of this season still captivates me even now. There's a fairytale quality to Easter- bunnies come to life, eggs turn to chocolate and gardens become a place to hunt for chocolate treasure. It's absolutely magnificent! I remember when we were growing up, humble marshmallow Easter Eggs were best things around at this time of year and back then it was such a joy if you had one. When I was about 8 years old, I was given a strip of 4 marshmallow eggs, I vividly recall not wanting to eat the eggs because I refused to ruin the wrappers. To a child it was mesmerising and I still remember it to this day – white Easter bunnies playing around in the green grass among colourfully decorated eggs and little toadstools with windows and doors that kept me up at night, wondering. I love recreating those feelings, even now as a grown up, when Easter comes around I want to be enchanted all over again and what better way to do it than through cake.
In my previous post I wrote about the genoise sponge and emphasised how lovely it is to stack. Well this is it, in this layered cake I've used two flavours, vanilla and raspberry. Two cakes cut in half to make four alternate layers of pink and cream, perfect for my butterfly and easter egg garden theme, reminiscent of Spring. Each layer of cake, brushed with raspberry syrup is glorified with a luxurious layer of raspberry swiss meringue buttercream.
I love this buttercream! It's light, it's airy and spreads like a dream. It's so much more than the American buttercream which is basically confectioners sugar and butter whipped together. In the past I've found American buttercream terribly sweet and too dense, it's also not the easiest frosting to make considering all that's involved is the mixing of two ingredients. Contrary to popular belief achieving the correct consistency for spreading and piping is pretty complex. I remember years ago, my friend and I were making cup cakes for a Mothers Day get-together she was attending, and I had the brave idea to use American buttercream. Between adding sugar upon sugar and then taking it to the fridge to maintain the correct consistency, we barely had enough time to decorate the cup cakes before she had to leave. With the Swiss meringue buttercream, it's easy going. Once it's done, it's done. No need to go back and add extra sugar or butter to get it right. In my recipe it comes out perfect the first time. The whipped egg whites and sugar create a soft marshmallowy texture so that when the butter is added the mixture turns into sort of like a creamy marshmallow, which makes piping an absolute pleasure. Even though it's not sickly sweet, for this cake I went ahead and added raspberry pureè to it which creates a fresh flavour and balances out that sweeteness from the meringue. When it comes to icing a cake, you do want a large amount of buttercream and this another reason why Swiss meringue is my favourites because it takes less than twenty minutes to make a large amount and unlike Italian meringue buttercream, there's no need for a sugar thermometer.
Naked cakes is what's fashionable these days and I must say I quite approve of them. It's my kind of cake satisfaction. There's this rustic charm about naked cakes that helps you get away with imperfections. The frosting is meant to look laid back and lazy almost, with layers of the cake showing through for a vintage flair. I love that! And I love it even more because it means less icing on the cake. Often icing can be overbearing on a cake when there's too much of it. I like just the right balance between cake and buttercream. When it comes to fresh cream and pastry creams pile it on, I insist. But with buttercream being so full of butter and sugar I much prefer small doses which makes a naked cake just perfect.
Decorate with fondant or chocolate, fresh flowers or fruit, naked cakes can't help but look charming no matter what you choose to style it with. So don't be afraid. Dare to be adventurous and make someone madly happy with your very own and unique naked cake creation. Now that I've said my mouthful, time to sample the cake. Enjoy the rest of your Easter Sunday. Till next time.
Before embarking on this adventure remember, this cake is home-made and should look as such. Do not despair if it doesn't resemble something out of a grand bakery. The flaws add to it's charm. The decorating of the cake is always going to be imperfect but that is the whole point of making a self-designed cake, otherwise we would go out and buy one from a professional cake designer. The two most important things to do in my opinion when making a celebration cake is to remember that it is for a celebration after all, so have fun making it and secondly the taste. The taste is far more important than the aesthetic so don't mind the flaws.
*Note: For this recipe you will need to bake two cakes in 2x18cm cake tins then cut in half to make four layers. The recipe for this can be found in my previous post – The Genoise Sponge. Also note that once the cake batter is divided, fold in a drop of red food colouring and a teaspoon of raspberry extract into one half before baking. I advise to bake the cakes at least a day in advance so that they can be frozen overnight. Frozen, the layers are easier to cut and creates less crumb which is ideal when frosting, however freezing is optional. There are many decorations on this cake, but I feel that decorations are a personal choice and you should get as creative and imaginative as you wish. I will demonstrate how to get started by using a plunger cutter which are very easy use and if you get different patterns you can use the same method to do a variety of decorations of your choice, it's really up to you. The buttercream in this recipe has been flavoured with raspberries. For this you have two options. You can either use 500g of fresh or frozen raspberries that will need to be cooked and sieved or you could use a good quality raspberry preserve. A good quality preserve should have a minimum of 60% raspberries and no added sugar, which is what I opted for in this recipe. If using fresh or frozen, cook raspberries till soft, and thickened before passing through a fine mesh sieve. This should yield about 200g. Enough to flavour the buttercream. Remember that if the berries are very sharp as frozen berries often are, a bit of sugar can be added during the cooking process.
The Making of this Cake Requires
- 2x18cm genoise sponge cakes
- 500g raspberry swiss meringue buttercream
- 50ml raspberry simple syrup
- candy coated easter eggs (pastel colours) for decoration/decorations of choice
For The Swiss Meringue Buttercream
- 110g egg whites (room temperature)
- 200g castor sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 270g unsalted softened butter cut into four equal pieces
- 200g raspberry preserve
- Whisk egg whites with castor sugar over a bain marie for five minutes or until the sugar has fully dissolved. Touch the mixture between two fingers to check that it does not feel grainy from the sugar. If it does, keep whisking till smooth.
- Move the mixture to a stand mixer and gradually whisk from low speed to medium speed to cool the whites until stiff peaks form. Add vanilla.
- When the bottom the bowl feels cools completely it's a sign that the butter can be added. Whisking to stiff peak stage and cooling of the bowl usually takes 10-12 minutes.
- While the machine is running add the first portion of butter and whisk it in. Look closely to ensure that there are no lumps in the mixture before adding the next portion. Add another portion of the butter and continue this way until all the butter has been gradually incorporated.
- Once all the butter has been incorporated continue whisking for another 2-3 minutes or until the buttercream feels smooth, velvety and stiff.
- Add in the raspberry preserve and whisk until incorporated.
For the Raspberry Syrup
- 50g castor sugar
- 50ml water
- 1 tbsp raspberry liqueur
- In a small saucepan combine water and sugar and heat on low heat until sugar dissolves and the mixture reduces to form a slightly thick consistency, approx 10 minutes.
- Mix in the alcohol.
For the Fondant Butterflies
For the fondant butterflies you will need the following:
- small butterfly plunger cutter
- silicone mat
- A4 card paper
- fondant rolling pin
- white pearl shimmer
- food colour (pink)
- Icing sugar
- small artist brush
- 20g sugar paste/fondant
- Work the fondant in your hands until it loses it's rigidity and becomes pliable.
- Add the food colour in tiny amounts while working the fondant until the desired colour is reached.
- Dust the mat with icing sugar lightly.
- Place the ball of fondant on the silicone mat and roll out to about 3mm thick. Keep it thin because if the butterfly is too heavy it may droop and not stay in place when decorating. Keep moving the fondant around to ensure it's not sticking to the mat.
- Cut out the butterflies using the cutter by pushing the cutter in but before pulling it up again, press the plunger well into the fondant to produce good markings on the butterfly. Continue until all the fondant is used.
- Create a butterfly former by folding the card paper in half to create a line. Open it out and fold it half way to the mid section line from the longer side. Do the same with the other side. It should be able to stand on upright with ridges for the butterflies to fit into.
- Place the butterflies into the former so that the wings can dry creating a flying motion.
- Leave to dry overnight.
- Use the brush to dust on the pearl shimmer.
Note: For the assembly you will need an offset spatula, a cake card or board, ice-cream scoop, bench scraper and a pastry brush. The ice-cream scoop can be replaced with a tablespoon but I prefer the scoop to ensure that the butter-cream layers are of equal amounts. Keep a separate bowl available to clean out the spatula from time to time. This ensures that no crumb mixes into the bowl of fresh buttercream.
- Start by placing a cake board on a damp kitchen towel which will prevent the cake board from slipping. Smear some buttercream onto the card which will prevent the cake from slipping. Place the vanilla cake on the board and prepare to cut.
- Use a long sharp knife with a serated blade cut the cake in half by finding the midway point of the height. Gradually cut along the outside of the cake to mark where it will be cut. Once it's marked, hold the cake steady from the top without pressing too hard on the cake and cut the cake using a very light hand. Use very subtle cutting motions so that the cake produces less crumbs. Don't press into the cake with the knife instead slice gently all the while rotating the cake using the free hand. Keep going around till the knife meets the starting point where the first cut was made. At this point the knife will naturally slip deeper into the cake until it gets all the way through. Once it goes all the way through, the first layer should come away easily. Use a spatula to lift it off without breaking it.
- Repeat this step for the raspberry flavoured cake. This time place the cake on cutting board and prepare to cut. Once cut, set the two layers aside.
- Prepare to fill the layers by starting with the vanilla layer already on the cake board. Brush it with syrup, enough to moisten the cake.
- Place 3 scoops of buttercream in the centre of the first layer and smooth out using the spatula. Don't despair if the buttercream goes beyond the edges of the cake as this excess will be used to cover the sides of the cake.
- Repeat this step with the next (pink) layer of cake and continue to the top.
- The topmost layer should the flattest layer with a neat table-top finish. Invert this layer so that the flattest part forms the top layer of cake. Scoop on the buttercream and spread until even.
- Spread butter-cream onto the sides and smooth out to form what's known as the crumb coat. Crumb coats are to protect the outermost layer of frosting from crumbs. However this cake will not be frosted further than the crumb coat stage in order to create the naked effect so ensure that the spatula is cleaned out before it goes back into the bowl of buttercream.
- Before the sides are frosted, go down to eye level and check that the cake is perfectly straight and that the layers are not skew. Adjust if needed.
- Frost the sides with the spatula and fill in the edges where the layers meet, to join the layers. Take the bench scraper, hold it at a 20 degree angle at the side of the cake and run it around the cake to smooth off the sides.

Hello to you all,
This second edition of the IRF Environment Newsletter is very timely. IRF has been particularly active in the past months with the launch of the new IRF Environment Committee, the organization of a first Study Day on green public procurement and technology advancements in the road sector, and the participation at key international events and expert groups. Strengthening our collaboration with relevant partners is also on the way. This second edition of the newsletter dedicated to Environment will give you an outline of the latest developments in our sector and of IRF activities in this domain.
The upcoming IRF Environment & Climate Change Bulletin - published in two volumes - will further enhance and complete this overview.
Do not hesitate to share with us your views, suggestions and knowledge!
We look forward to your active involvement and to your enhanced collaboration with IRF.
With kind regards,
Susanna Zammataro
Deputy Director General & Environment Expert

The new IRF Environment Committee holds its first meeting
After successfully achieving the goals set in the initial three year mandate, the IRF Environment Working Group has been given new direction and impulse. Part of this is the reorganization of the Working Group into the new "Environment Committee" articulated in four sub-committees. The launch meeting was hosted in Brussels in September back to back with IRF Environment Study Day.
Green rating systems for road infrastructure projects
VicRoads, the Victoria Road Authority, has recently released its sustainability rating tool for road construction projects, named INVEST (Integrated VicRoads Environmental Sustainability Tool). Similar to Greenroads, INVEST is a certification program that distinguishes road construction projects based on the extent to which they incorporate sustainable choices.
IRF and IISD join hands to boost Green Public Procurement
IRF and 200 other selected participants were convened last October in Copenhagen for the Global Green Growth Forum. As a result of the strategy session on Green Public Procurement (GPP) – to which IRF actively contributed - stakeholders present at the forum formally tabled interest in an international initiative to promote green public procurement that could be coordinated by IISD. IRF will lead the initiative's work in the road infrastructure sector.
Proceedings of IRF Environment Study Day now available!
Hosted at POLIS in Brussels on 20th September, the IRF Environment Study Day on "Green Public Procurement & Technology Advancements in the Road Sector" gathered key stakeholders and institutional organizations.
The event was particularly valued as it was the first specifically addressing GPP in the road sector. Despite the significant part that roads play in public expenditure, there has been very little attention and debate on what institutional, market and capacity barriers need to be removed in the sector to achieve even greater scaling up of GPP in the immediate term. Learn more by checking out the full proceedings now available on our website!
Second meeting of the UNECE Group of Experts on Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation
The second session of the UNECE Expert Group on Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation for international transport networks was held on 8 November 2011 in Geneva. The meeting was an opportunity for IRF to highlight the work of its members on adaptation. One of the tasks of the group is to produce a final report with policy-oriented recommendations and proposals to improve the adaptability of international transport networks to climate change.

Review of the European Union Air Policy
The European Commission is moving forward with the planned revision of the air policy. The public consultation launched in June 2011 on the air quality policy has just closed. Divided into two parts – a short questionnaire for the general public and a longer section for experts and practitioners – the questionnaire aims at harvesting input on how best to improve European air quality policy. The Commission aims at having a comprehensive review of EU's air policy by 2013 at the latest.

Migration Software for Centera (MSC) was specifically developed to facilitate the compliant migration of data from Centera to another storage platform, including a newer Centera. MCS now supports writing to EMC ECS (Elastic Cloud Storge) and EMC ViPR data services.
Our Centera migration software was developed to meet the needs of customers subject to compliance laws and regulations. Every migrated file is verified against the source file using the same MD5 hash Centera uses for internal integrity checks. Reporting options include: source inventory, successfully migrated files, not migrated files and chain-of-custody reports.
Applications write to Centera via its API, DX, CUA, Rainfinity/CTA, and TSM. DTS is the only vendor to support all the access methods to Centera, allowing us to provide the most complete migration capabilities.
Engineers at DTS have over a decade of experience working with Centera and understand the technical issues surrounding the black box complexity of Centera and the software reflects this knowledge.
Migration Software for Centera ha an easy to uses GUI with administrative access via a standard web browser. The MSC application was written in Java and runs in a Linux 64-bit operating environment. A typical server configuration uses a 4 core CPU with 16GB RAM and 200GB local storage.
Migration Software for Centera is a multi-threaded application and provides throttle controls to dynamically speed up or slow down the data migration. For large environments multiple MSC instances can be run in parallel.
A scheduler allows the administrator to selectively run or stop the migration based upon the needs of the business. Alerts minimize IT time spent checking on the status and can be configured and automatically sent to administrators based upon severity level. Status pages provide up to date progress on the Centera migration.
Contact our Sales team to learn more about how our Centera migration software can simplify your next Centera data migration project.

Interested in starting your own home-based business? Or perhaps you already have your own company? Regardless of your background or business expertise, it is important to be as informed as possible about the challenges and advantages that can come with owning your own business. So if this is an area that interests you, read on!
If the product that you are selling to individuals is also something that you can sell on the wholesale market, do an Internet search for wholesale businesses that handle your type of product. Email these businesses and offer to send them free samples. If they like what you send them, and you can be competitive on price and delivery, they will buy from you. This may well be an additional market that you can tap into.
Open up a new business checking account for your home business venture. Make sure that every dollar of business revenue and expense runs through this account. Apply for credit cards that you will use only for business purposes, such as supplies and shipping. Keep detailed notes regarding large expenses and any expenses that had to be paid with personal funds.
An important part of your home business will be your home office. The home office should have some physical boundaries from the rest of your home in order to separate your home life from your home work. Having a specific area designated for your home business will increase your productivity and help you maintain a high work ethic. When choosing where to set up your home office, you should also keep in mind that the area will need to be able to scale with the growth of your business.
Pay estimated taxes. For a home business owner, it is preferable to pay your taxes four times a year. Unless you want a shock when it's tax time, contact the IRS and set up a payment process. Not only are you responsible for regular tax, you will have to pay self-employment tax.
Be sure to create a detailed business plan to guide your home business. Even with a small business, you need to document all of your goals, strategies, and resources. This plan can help your business stay on track through all the phases that your business will go through.
Determine an advertising budget for your home business. It is important to trade with other companies, offer a selection of free products for prizes and have other means of advertisement. However, the costs can quickly add up, so it is important to be aware of how much you have to spend and stay within that limit.
You should get a DBA or Doing Business As license. Talk to your bank or local chamber of commerce to find out more. You will find this to be inexpensive and allows for separation of business and personal accounts.
You should look for a business that fits your personal schedule and does not hinder your life with your family. For instance, if you have children, make sure you will still have the time to take care of them and choose a business that allows you to have flexible working hours.
No one has ever been around to guarantee that effort will result in success. However if you follow sensible advice – such as the tips in this article – you can get results from your efforts and ultimately thrive in your home business venture.

I am a Sydney based international travel writer and photographer.
From an early age writing essays and features has been my passion. At school, I was a regular contributor on topics from sports and culture to history and literature for the institution's quarterly magazine.
Later this creative exertion continued during tenure at the university where I studied engineering and subsequently completed post graduate qualifications in business management.
While contributing to the corporate business world, I always found time to pursue my pastime for writing, perhaps that being my medium of relaxation.
Travel always fascinated me, it being an avenue to enrich my mind with sights and sounds of the knowns and unknowns.
This in combination with lust for writing and thirst for learning about different society's lifestyle, culture and history inspired me a decade ago to become a travel writer, so as to share my experiences with others.
To date I have produced over 350 travel features published in elite print and online publications in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Singapore, Dubai, India and Sri Lanka – Sydney Morning Herald and Sunday Telegraph in Australia, Otago Daily Times in New Zealand Strait Times in Singapore, Toronto Star in Canada, The Statesman in India and Khaleej Times in Dubai are few of them.
A key goal of mine is to visit at least 100 countries and see through my own eyes the Seven Wonders of the World. So far the progress has been good.
I have already touched my itchy feet on 76 countries in 6 continents and have glimpsed the beauty of 6 Wonders of the World.
I am well connected with the travel industry. I am a Member of the Australian Society of Travel Writers (ASTW), Member of the Foreign Correspondents Association (FCA) and Chairman of Australia, India Travel & Tourism Council (AITTC).

Today marks the 150th anniversary of the Sand Creek Massacre. A National Park Service press release describes the event in these words (italics added):
The Sand Creek Massacre, tragic and unnecessary, impacted Federal-Indian relations and created the circumstances for years of warfare. With the events of November 29, 1864 fixed in their minds, Plains Indian nations faced an uncertain future between warring against and accommodating the federal government.
Cheyenne and Arapaho peace chiefs [Black Kettle among them], influenced by assurances of peace at the Camp Weld Conference, reported to Fort Lyon throughout October of 1864. The fort's commander told Black Kettle and other leaders to await a peace delegation at their camp on Sand Creek and to fly the U.S. flag to indicate their peaceful intent. Throughout November, these elders waited.
On November 29, U.S. Army (Volunteer) soldiers
[under the command of Colonel John Chivington, a Methodist minister], attacked the village. Disregarding the greetings and calls to stop, these "beings in the form of men" fired indiscriminately at the Cheyenne and Arapaho. Of approximately seven hundred people in the village, about two hundred died that day. Two-thirds of the dead and mutilated bodies left on the ground were women and children.
Boasting of his victory and downplaying Army casualties, Colonel John Chivington paraded the body parts of dead Cheyenne and Arapaho through the streets of Denver, reveling in the acclaim he long sought. However, not all of Chivington's officers and men agreed with his actions, and soon the
consequences of these actions would sweep up and down the Plains, back to Washington, D.C., and into the lives of thousands of people. [Captain Silas Soule refused to order his company to fire during the massacre; he and Major Ned Wynkoop played key roles in the investigation of the massacre.]

Remember those killed and wound and violated.
Remember the horror, the atrocity.
But remember also Black Kettle, who sought a just, honorable peace for his people; and remember Silas Soule, and Ned Wynkoop and the others who, in their way and fashion sought peace and justice for those touched by this day of horror.
May the day soon come when, by God's grace, we transform weapns into implements of production and healing.
See you along the Trail.

Here are some waterfall photos sent to me in August 2001 from John Black. He said: "I used a Minolta Freedom Zoom 140 EX for the pictures and 400 film. As a side note, all of the falls I visited were running very well. Nature clearly has turned on the faucet this year." You may click on the thumbnails to see a larger version of the waterfalls.

May 19, 2017–The FCC should delay adopting further wireless siting regulations until the Broadband Deployment Advisory Committee (BDAC) has had a chance to make recommendations, according to the National League of Cities, which also said it opposed any more "restrictions on local authority."
The group submitted an ex parte filing yesterday in GN docket 17-83 and WT docket 17-79 reporting on a meeting with FCC Chairman Ajit Pai and Rachael Bender, his wireless and international adviser, and Mesa, Ariz., Vice Mayor David Luna as well as another NLC representative. "We commended the Chairman for his attempt to convene a wide variety of stakeholders within the framework of the BDAC to discuss common solutions for accelerating broadband deployment to all communities, but echoed the concerns raised by Mayor Sam Liccardo's representative during the first BDAC meeting," the filing said. "While additional highly qualified local representatives have been appointed to several of the BDAC working groups, the National League of Cities continued to urge the Commission to increase the number and diversity of local officials on the BDAC to a level comparable with the number and diversity of industry officials. NLC asked the Chairman to prioritize gaining input from local officials throughout the BDAC's work.
"We also discussed the pending wireless item, 'Accelerating Wireless Broadband Deployment by Removing Barriers to Infrastructure Investment,' and NLC's strong opposition to further restrictions of local authority," the filing added. "We urged the Chairman not to further pursue regulation on wireless siting matters as they pertain to local governments until the work of the BDAC has progressed and the group has had a chance to convene and make recommendations to the Commission. We discussed the strong desire by local governments to ensure that their residents have access to reliable broadband service, and to work collaboratively with providers to ensure that service is made available. We encouraged the Chairman to work in the direction of partnership with, rather than preemption of, local officials, who share his goal of closing the digital divide."- Paul Kirby, email@example.com

The Plant: Located on the eastern half of Pittsboro, The Plant is a charming yet cozy venue with an energetic feel. Its rural setting and pollinator landscape make it perfect for those who value nature and community. They've hosted many local events in the past, including farm-to-fork dinners, festivals, conferences, weddings, and workshops.
The venue features, among a variety of amenities, a full kitchen, enormous parking lot, and nature trail. They also have a dozen on-site businesses including Queen Bee Party Rentals and Personal Home Cuisine (catering) and BreakFAST and Beyond (food truck), which makes it very easy to find vendors for your event. If you're looking for a large, eco-friendly space for your next event, then The Plant is definitely for you!
Pricing: Those wishing to hold an event at The Plant must pay a rental fee and security deposit upon signing their rental agreement. The security deposit will be returned three days following the event if the venue is restored to a neat and orderly condition, with no damages.

- Half day event (up to 6 hours) – $150

Organizers at The Plant are happy to arrange and supervise setup and removal of amenities from tents and tables to toilets for a fee.
Capacity: The maximum capacity for The Plant is 250 people, but they can host more. Events with more than 250 people will be required to have insurance for the event. Renters must provide a certificate of insurance sometime before using the venue.
Basic Specs: The roughly half an acre venue rents out their parking lot and grounds, including their lawn, stage, and playground, to all guests. Guests will also receive access to their inventor of folding tables (6-8) and chairs (20-28). Renting doesn't offer access to the farmland, greenhouse, or other buildings and features unless otherwise specified. They highly value sustainability, so guests are encouraged to use their recycling bins and compost pile whenever possible. Pets are not encouraged, but if you do bring them, they must be leashed, and owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets. The Plant offers limited access to kitchen and bathroom facilities leased to Fair Game Beverage Company. However, renters are responsible for providing portable toilets for their event, as well as consulting with the venue about the placement and removal of them.
Catering Criteria/Options: Renters are allowed to choose caterers from The Plant's approved list of vendors, which you can find below. Many of them are based in Chatham County, which gives guests an opportunity to support local businesses. Approved vendors include:

- Bella Donna Italian Restaurant
- Chatham Marketplace
