From Overwhelm to Productivity: Time Management Tips
Effective communication and connection strategies can enhance any relationship. These include active listening, expressing yourself clearly and respectfully, empathy towards the other person's feelings and needs, keeping an open mind, and finding common ground. It is also essential to manage conflicts constructively and offer validation and support to your loved ones.
Listening actively and giving full attention to the other person, expressing empathy and understanding, and avoiding judgments and criticisms are some of the strategies that foster positive communication. Maintaining open communication, providing reassurance, and expressing gratitude also help in building and strengthening a connection.
By actively listening, expressing empathy, and practicing assertiveness, we can strengthen our connections with others and prevent misunderstandings.
It is important to recognize and respect individual differences and preferences and work towards finding common ground. Prioritizing and investing time and effort in relationships can go a long way in improving and sustaining them.

We seek to make a global contribution to men living happier, healthier, longer lives. This ambition underpins everything we do. It is the driving force behind our campaigns, funding strategy, and vision for the future.
Why men's health?
The state of men's health is in a crisis. Simply put, men are dying too young.
Gender is one of the strongest and most consistent predictors of health and life expectancy. For men, this is not good news. On average, across the world, men die 6 years earlier than women.
Moreover, suicide affects men more than women: three quarters of suicides are by men. The World Health Organisation estimates that 510,000 men die from suicide globally each year. That's one every minute.
The impact of prostate and testicular cancer on lives is substantial, with prostate cancer being the second most common cancer in men worldwide.
Yet this gender-based inequality in health has received little national, regional or global acknowledgement or attention from health policy-makers or healthcare providers. This is exactly why the Movember Foundation focuses on men's health. This is why Mo Bros and Mo Sistas from across the globe become a united voice every Movember, bringing vital funding and attention to the hidden men's health crisis.
This is not just an issue for men. In order to tackle the problem and work towards a world where future generations of men are not faced with the same issues as today, we need to take action at both an individual and community level. This means engaging men and women, businesses, sporting groups, community organisations, governments, health policy makers and healthcare providers in the efforts to reduce the current gender inequality in health outcomes.
How will we create positive change for men's health globally?
We're set apart by our unique role as a global connector and the global community we have built and continue to grow. We bring leading experts together from around the world to collaborate on solutions that will fundamentally change the way men are treated and supported. By looking at health through a gendered lens and focusing our efforts in three priority areas we ensure that each program we fund is a step towards our vision for the future.
Learn about our funding strategy
How do we measure success?
We're proud of all that we've achieved, but we only have one definition of success: funding breakthrough solutions that produce tangible improvements in the lives of those dealing with prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and suicide prevention. We want to give more life to our fathers and sons.

Two California men have sued Lance Armstrong and his book publishers for fraud and false advertising, claiming that the cyclist's best-selling memoirs, billed as non-fiction, were revealed to be filled with lies after he confessed last week to systematic doping.
The class-action complaint was filed in federal court in Sacramento, California on Tuesday, five days after Armstrong ended years of vehement denial and admitted in a televised interview with Oprah Winfrey that he had cheated his way to a record seven Tour de France titles through the use of banned, performance-enhancing drugs.
The named plaintiffs in the suit were Rob Stutzman, a public relations executive who served as a deputy chief of staff for former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Jonathan Wheeler, a chef and amateur cyclist.
They said they bought the books "It's Not About the Bike" and "Every Second Counts" because they believed in Armstrong and his story of returning without drug assistance to the Tour de France after a nearly fatal bout with testicular cancer.
Following Armstrong's doping confession, however, Stutzman and Wheeler said they felt "duped," "cheated" and "betrayed" by the realization that the books, marketed as inspirational true-life memoirs, were replete with fabrications.
Their lawsuit accuses Armstrong and his publishers, Penguin and Random House, of violating consumer protection laws on false advertising and fraud by selling the books as works of non-fiction.
Lawyers for the purported class of Armstrong book buyers say readers are entitled to restitution and possibly statutory and punitive damages for deceptions. They say the publishers should have detected these, even though Armstrong passed drug screenings for various international cycling competitions.
A similar lawsuit was filed in 2011 against Greg Mortenson, co-author of the best seller "Three Cups of Tea," accusing him of fabricating much of his story about promoting education for impoverished girls in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
That suit, which alleged fraud and unjust enrichment, was dismissed last year by a federal judge in Montana.
The Montana suit was sparked by a critical report by CBS television's "60 Minutes" program challenging the credibility of biographical details in "Three Cups," including Mortenson's account of being kidnapped in Pakistan's Waziristan region after trying unsuccessfully to scale the mountain K2.
The legal cry of fraud against Mortenson followed the example of readers who won a $2.75 million settlement from literary hoaxer James Frey who, like Armstrong, confessed his deception in an interview with Winfrey. His settlement marked a rare victory for aggrieved book buyers.
One potentially significant advantage held by litigants suing Armstrong is that their was filed under California's exceptionally plaintiff-friendly consumer protections laws.
Penguin will be represented in the Armstrong suit by the firm Dorsey & Whitney, which won the Mortenson case for his publisher. The lawyers are sure to raise the same First Amendment and implied-duty defenses in the new case as in the "Three Cups" dispute.
Dorsey partner Jonathan Herman declined to comment on how the publisher will respond to the Armstrong complaint's California-law claims but said, "As far as we're concerned, this is also a case that should be dismissed."

LopezLink presents another beneficiary whose life was impacted by the CSR and philanthropic initiatives of the Lopez Group and the Lopez family.
If Emma Barca-Reanzares did not meet Roberto "Roby" M. Lopez, she would not be where she is now, gainfully employed as a local government social worker. Her husband works as a company driver and they have five children, all studying in a public school in Taguig City.
In the early 1990s, BarcaReanzares, who was a scholar of a charity organization, was suddenly informed that the organization's scholarship program in their area was ending. Barca-Reanzares was devastated. She was looking forward to receiving the scholarship throughout her elementary years as a stepping stone to pursue higher studies.
"My parents had difficulty providing for our educational needs at that time. My father had an irregular income as a foreman and my mother was a housekeeper and taking care of my younger siblings. The income of my father was only enough for our daily basic needs," narrates Barca-Reanzares.
Meeting 'Tito'
Then she met Roberto M. Lopez (he did not want to be called "sir," remembers BarcaReanzares, and preferred instead to be called "tito" [uncle]). Roby was opening PIA-PAAFI (Philippine International Aid based in San Francisco and founded by Mona Lisa Yuchengco, and Phil-Asia Assistance Foundation Inc.) in Ermita, Manila, which catered to street children, orphans, child abuse victims and other underprivileged children who wanted to finish high school.
PAAFI scholars are provided a monthly allowance, as well as values formation, livelihood training and medical and dental benefits which also extend to their parents.
Barca-Reanzares recalls that Roby told her he would help her finish college and could take up whatever course she wanted. And when she informed him she wanted to be a social worker so she can help others, he was pleased with her choice.
Always joyful
"He was a helpful man and was always joyful. He didn't want to see any sad child whenever he would visit our drop-in shelter. He would immediately ask why the child was sad or whether he/she was sick or had other needs and he would immediately talk to the staff.
"It was important for him to provide educational opportunities for the children. He was quite optimistic that we would achieve or fulfill all our dreams. He always told us to study well as this was our means to improve our lives and help others as well. But then he passed away," says Barca-Reanzares.
After Roby's demise on September 26, 1992, the scholars of PAAFI were worried about their future. But BarcaReanzares believed that their late benefactor would not just leave them, and she was right. PAAFI continued helping her and the others.
Registered social worker
Barca-Reanzares was able to finish college and become a registered social worker. She is now a volunteer coordinator of PAAFI scholars in their community.
"The only advice I can give to PAAFI scholars is to always be grateful and give importance to the opportunities provided to them as this is our weapon against poverty.
"For Tito Roby," adds Barca-Reanzares, "the word 'salamat' is not enough. For all that he has given us, in return, I will continue doing good especially to children in need.
If you want to sponsor a PAAFI scholar, call Fe at 683-0917 loc. 115 or at 0995-5827947.

At Dirty Girl Mud Events, happiness, high-spiritedness, understanding and togetherness reign supreme. And when all is said and done, you will bask in unabashed, dirty diva glory, as a member of the Dirty Girl Nation. Now…to the list of obstacles you may encounter!
- Barn Burner - Climb up higher than you ever thought you could. Once at the top, there's nowhere to go but to gently bounce back down to the ground.
- Get A Grip - All that rope ladder training you've been doing is about to pay off…kind of. Climb like you've never climbed before and holler out when you ring that bell!
- Utopian Tubes - It's wet and muddy in those tubes. Follow the light as you crawl through the short tunnel and emerge on the other side, muddy and laughing until your belly aches.
- Get Over Yourself! - It's an eight foot wall to climb up and over. And yes, there are a few steps along the way. This is your chance to shine…and lend a helping hand to your fellow Dirty Girls.
- You Go Girl! - Like high-stepping through tires, but pink and with more padding. This one really gets your heart pumping.
- PMS (Pretty Muddy Stuff) - Dirty Girls are Pretty and this Stuff is Muddy. Hop in the pit, run through and get to the other side. Pretty Muddy Simple.
- Runaway Bride - As with all runaway brides, you never really know what's going to happen. Up and over? Down and under? Expect the unexpected and some variety.
- Amaze Yourself! - Twist, turn, step or crawl. Get through the bungee maze any way you can. No one is judging on style points.
- H2OMG - Heard of water aerobics? This is more like muddy-water-aerobics. Your job? Climb in and get to the other side any way you want. Water wings not required.
- Down & Dirty - It's like crawling under the fence when you were a kid…you still giggle a bit, but there is a lot more mud and the fence is 40 feet long.
- Dirty Dancing - Remember climbing up and going down that huge playground slide in elementary school and landing in a massive mud pit? No? Well, here's your chance!
- Net Working - Watch your hands and feet as they go in all different directions! Find something to grab as you climb up, across and down a massive rope-lined funky fortress.
Aid Stations:
There are safety personnel at mile markers 1 and 2 and water stations as well.
Fun team competitions including:
The Biggest Team
Most Creative Team Name
Best Team Themed Costume
A few others with some fun prizes
Prepare your guests – they'll be overwhelmed with a sense of jealousy as they watch you experience what will be remembered as one of the best days of your life! Make sure they bring a camera as the memories will be priceless!
Parking will vary per location. Check your respective location for further info. Parking space will be limited so go green, save some gas money and carpool!
Post Party:
Great music at the expo village.
A free drink, with the option for other beverages.
Delicious food available.
Fresh, clean Dirty Girl gear available for sale.
Sponsor tents for local deals and sample
You don't have to be able to swim - the water pit will be knee to waist deep and you'll have to traverse through it. Water wings are optional!
The event is non-competitive and will not be timed, so there is no need to hustle to get through the course. We do recommend some light cardio a couple times per week paired with some upper body strengthening to help you get up and over the obstacles. However, you'll have the option to bypass any obstacle that you're not comfortable tackling.
All obstacles will be manageable. The more difficult obstacles will have varying degrees of difficulty to accommodate to different fitness levels. We would like you to try to complete each obstacle, but if you feel you can't then you can go around.
No outside alcoholic beverages or glass bottles allowed
We will have a bag check, so you can leave your change of clothes/towel with us during the race and retrieve after. If you'd like to hose yourself down and tidy-up before hitting the Expo Village and getting your party on, a rinse station and enclosed changing tent will be available.
We encourage you to wear anything you feel comfortable racing in– anything. Like to race in your bikini? Fine. It just has to be anything you don't mind getting dirty. We do, however, recommend a solid pair of running shoes, towels, a garbage bag, and a change of clothes. And since dirt and sunburns don't mix, plan ahead by packing some waterproof sunscreen.
Here at Dirty Girl, we respect and admire breast cancer survivors, and at every event we celebrate their triumph. While we are a for-profit event company, the cause of finding a cure, educating women and helping those who are currently dealing with Breast Cancer is what we believe in. After all, the Dirty Girl way is to jump in, get dirty, and fight!
Dirty Girl supports breast cancer charity organizations in each of our event markets with a cash donation that we intend to be used in your community. By participating in a Dirty Girl Mud Run you've already have made a difference by financially and physically making a stand against Breast Cancer.
Teams are welcome. They can be as big or small as you'd like. Each person registers individually in the same wave and enters the same team name.

Patrick Rothfuss
Wisconsin, USA
Patrick Rothfuss was born in Madison, Wisconsin to awesome parents who encouraged him to read and create through reading to him, gentle boosts of self-esteem, and deprivation of cable television. During his formative years, he read extensively and wrote terrible short stories and poetry to teach himself what not to do.
Patrick matriculated at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, initially studying chemical engineering which led to a revelation that chemical engineering is boring. He then spent the next nine years jumping from major to major, taking semesters off, enjoying semesters at part-time, and generally rocking the college student experience before being kindly asked to graduate already. Surprisingly enough, he had enough credits to graduate with an English major, and he did so grudgingly.
Patrick then went to grad school. He'd rather not talk about it.
All this time Patrick was working on "The Book," as he and his friends lovingly titled it. When he returned to Stevens Point he began teaching half-time while trying to sell The Book to publishers. In the process, he disguised a chapter of The Book as a short story and won the Writers of the Future competition in 2002. This put him into contact with all the right people, and after deciding to split The Book into three installments, DAW agreed to publish it. In March 2007, The Name of the Wind was published to great acclaim, winning the Quill Award and making the New York Times Bestseller list.
All this success was wonderful. Patrick eventually had to stop teaching in order to focus on writing, though he screwed that up by having an adorable baby with his adorable girlfriend. He started a charity fundraiser called Worldbuilders and published a not-for-children children's book called The Adventures of the Princess and Mr. Whiffle in July of 2010 through Subterranean Press, which was adorable, and seriously isn't for children.
After a great deal of work and a few cleared throats and raised eyebrows from his patient editor, Wise Man's Fear came out in March 2011 to even more acclaim, making #1 on the New York Times Bestseller list. Life continues to rock for him, and he's working hard on writing the final installment of the series.

Most people want a straight, white smile because it looks better, or makes them look younger. What many people don't realize is that good oral health is an indication that you are generally healthy. There is a correlation between periodontal disease and a number of illnesses. According to one recent study, those with serious gum disease were up to 40 percent more likely to have a chronic health condition.
Doctors and dentists today are aware of these cross-overs in conditions and will often recommend that patients get checked for other illnesses that correlate, which is one good reason to be proactive with scheduling regular dental checkups.
Three Conditions Affected By Your Oral health
There are known links between many different conditions, but those with gum disease are at a higher probability of also having these three common and serious illnesses.
- Diabetes. Diabetes and periodontal disease go hand in hand. Inflammation of the gums is known to negatively impact the body's ability to process and use insulin. In this particular case, the conditions will exacerbate each other — diabetes causes the body to lack the ability to fight infection, including gum infections, while inflammation inhibits the ability to regulate sugar.
- Heart Disease. Up to 91% of patients with heart disease suffer from periodontal disease — a high enough correlation to take precautionary measures. Get a regular, thorough exam if you suffer from any form of gum disease. While the cause still isn't clear, there is some speculation that having periodontitis raises the risk of developing heart disease.
- Osteoporosis. It's a natural warning sign that both osteoporosis and periodontal diseases are forms of bone loss. Osteoporosis tends to impact more women, while men have a higher incidence of gum disease. However, some researchers today are testing out the theory that gum disease inflammation may trigger bone loss in other areas of the body, besides the jaw.
Outside of these known conditions, there are also common medications that can impact oral health. More specifically, some side effects can be detrimental to teeth and gums over time. Side effects to be aware of and mention to your dentist include dry mouth, abnormal bleeding, altered taste, oral sores or inflammation, enlarged gums and cavities, and any medication that is known to contribute to bone loss.
Schedule Your Check-Up
Information is power. The important thing is to realize that scheduling regular dental and medical check-ups can help you to maintain optimal health and stay on top of any potential problems before they become life-changing. View a dental plan or contact us today to start prioritizing your oral health.

Lack of Workers Impacts Canadian Livestock Profitability
CANADA - The Canadian Meat Council warns the inability of Canadian meat processing plants to access workers jeopardizes the viability of the plants, the profitability of livestock producers, and existing jobs at those plants, writes Bruce Cochrane.Changes made in June to Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker Program dramatically impacted the ability of Canada's meat processing plants to supplement their work forces and maintain processing capacity.
Ron Davidson, the director of international trade, government and media relations with the Canadian Meat Council notes, when plants are short of workers, they still have to do the slaughter and the primary processing, and the shortages show up in the value added.
Ron Davidson - Canadian Meat Council:
The value added areas are where there is an opportunity for some profitability in a very, very narrow margin industry, and if we don't have an opportunity to do value added activities in our plants, the economic viability and sustainability of those plants becomes much more difficult.
The impact on producers, if we don't have enough workers, first we don't buy as many animals, so they're forced to rely on exporting animals to the US for processing, and secondly, if we don't have the value added for the plants, we do not have the ability to pay as much to the producers as we would if the plant was operating at a higher capacity and doing value added.
There's also placing at risk the future jobs of existing workers in those plants because if the viability and sustainability of those plants is challenged, so is the potential for the plant to stay in operation.
In addition there is less product, Canadian produced product on the market, and therefore there would have to be a heavier reliance on food imports and also we have less product to export.
Ron Davidson said that Canada has been very successful in opening up export markets but it now does not have the ability to staff its processing plants to take advantage of those export opportunities.

You may think, "What makes some floor plans more popular than others?" Look at this group of sought-after designs and draw your own conclusions. Perhaps the homes maximize the square footage, with very little hall space. Perhaps the plans have five or ten fun features, like decks, patios, bonus rooms and spa tubs. Perhaps the traffic flow is perfect; for example, kids returning from activities don't need to interrupt your dinner party for the boss. Perhaps the exteriors are adorned with dormers, porches and classic architectural elements. You decide!

Can one audit as a career?
Yes. There are many Scientology ministers who audit full time as their life's work. Auditing provides a rewarding career for the fact one is always helping people and constantly seeing miraculous results with preclears. It is very satisfying to know that one is making people's lives happier and saner.
Auditors are very valuable and in great demand.
L. Ron Hubbard's opinion of auditors is well known:
"I think of an auditor as a person with enough guts to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. This quality is rare and this quality is courageous in the extreme.
"It is my opinion and knowledge that auditors are among the upper tenth of the upper twentieth of intelligent human beings. Their will to do, their motives, their ability to grasp and to use are superior to that of any other profession."

How Gun Control Kills
Is there an evil worse than killing children? Is there anything more heart-wrenching than the feeling of absolute helplessness in our inability to protect them?
If Newtown, Connecticut shooter Adam Lanza had not taken his own life, millions would want him dead. Part of this tragedy is that the person responsible cannot be brought to proper justice. The entire event played out by his rules. The lack of justice compounds the loss of life. It makes the hurt worse.
It is these emotions—the high pitch of public outrage that accompanies the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting or any tragedy—that liberals say should preclude any possibility of the death penalty. But when liberals present rational arguments against capital punishment or demonstrate multiple instances where government has mistakenly executed innocents, such reasoning is often no match for society's call for blood.
The calls for increased gun control after the Newtown shooting are also an emotional reaction. The same thought of murdered children that would naturally lead people to support the death penalty has also led politicians, pundits, and other Americans to clamor for more gun restrictions. This happens every single time there is a public shooting that becomes a national tragedy. But it's demonstrably wrongheaded—and potentially deadly.
Gun control deters violent crime about as well as the death penalty. Worse, stricter gun control is the surest way to insure that virtually every would-be shooter is successful.
Two days after the Sandy Hook Elementary rampage, a gunman in San Antonio, Texas attempted to open fire on a movie crowd watching "The Hobbit." Luckily, the man's gun jammed. Even more luckily, there was an off-duty police officer who stopped that man with one bullet.
When Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and five others were shot in Tuscon, Arizona in January, the man who wrestled the gunman to the ground before he could continue killing had a carry-and-conceal weapon. Said 24-year-old Joe Zamudio, who acknowledged that being armed gave him the confidence to tackle shooter Jared Lee Loughner, "I was ready to end his life."
Here is a list of potential national tragedies that were prevented thanks to an armed populace (as compiled by the Libertarian Party):"A 1997 high school shooting in Pearl, Miss., was halted by the school's vice principal after he retrieved the Colt .45 he kept in his truck; A 1998 middle school shooting ended when a man living next door heard gunfire and apprehended the shooter with his shotgun; A 2002 law school shooting in Grundy, Va., came to an abrupt conclusion when students carrying firearms confronted the shooter; A 2007 mall shooting in Ogden, Utah, ended when an armed off-duty police officer intervened; A 2009 workplace shooting in Houston, Texas, was halted by two coworkers who carried concealed handguns; A 2012 church shooting in Aurora, Colo., was stopped by a member of the congregation carrying a gun."
These are just a few examples spanning 15 years. On December 11 a man opened fire in a mall in Portland, Oregon—that is, until he was confronted by another armed man who had a carry-and-conceal weapon. The gunman who had fired on shoppers then took his own life.
If the people who prevented these crimes through the use of personal firearms were legally prevented from having them—as many liberals now clamor for—America would very likely be remembering a dozen more national tragedies.
In an article for The Atlantic titled "The Death Penalty's Enduring Emotional Appeal," lawyer and author Wendy Kaminer wrote in 2011: "Support for the death penalty (like opposition to it) is generally more ideological than pragmatic… This means that people who favor executions don't accept at face value abolitionist claims about wrongful executions, no matter how carefully they're documented."
The same is true of gun-control advocates. As columnist Thomas Sowell has noted:"The key fallacy of so-called gun-control laws is that such laws do not in fact control guns. They simply disarm law-abiding citizens, while people bent on violence find firearms readily available. If gun-control zealots had any respect for facts, they would have discovered this long ago."
That there really isn't any way to predict or ultimately prevent these random tragedies—except, if you're lucky, an armed person being nearby—is a basic truth liberals' anti-gun ideology has blinded them to. Banning knives would not have stopped Jack the Ripper. Banning guns will not stop the crazed few who seek to open fire on the public.
To the degree that liberals get their way on gun control, there will be more deaths of innocents. I'm not saying liberals would want the potential murders implied in the examples here to occur. But what they want legislatively would only—inevitably—lead to more killing.

Day three of Shalin and Hema's wedding celebration concludes with Hema donning her final ceremonial gown, Shalins Baraat, their marriage ceremony and tearful Vidai farewell. Shaking Hands Productions was by our side once again providing outstanding video documentation. You can view their video trailer of Shalin and Hema's celebration HERE. Jason and I were also assisted by our friend and talented photographer Kevin Zhan.
For his Baraat, Shalin arrived to the Cultural Center in a gorgeous black Rolls Royce.
Shalin's parents and sister.
Our last day with Shalin and Hema was a kaleidoscope of emotions. The morning was full of smiles, laughter and anticipation for the wedding. After the ceremony and lunch, Hema walked out of the Cultural Center with her father and Shalin. They were accompanied by Hema's sisters, mother, family and friends for the Vidai. This is when the time has come for the bride to say goodbye to her family and leave with her groom. This occasion was met with a copious amount of tears, especially from Hema's father, who was so happy for her marriage but also very sad that he was going to miss her.

Getting rid of bed bugs can be a pain, but with the right products and treatment methods, you can do it yourself, saving the expense of hiring an exterminator. Our wide selection of professional grade bed bug treatment products, including bed bug control kits and bed bug monitors, will help you control an infestation in a home, hotel, or dormitory.
Doing your own bed bug control is a decision you have likely made after experiencing the frustration that comes from living with a bed bug problem and learning of the immense cost involved with hiring an exterminator. This guide will help you get rid of bed bugs on your own, step-by-step.
*When it comes to Bed Bugs, there is no fix-all, easy solution. Complete control requires a carefully planned and designed integrated approach.
Bed bugs can be harder to treat than other household pest insects for a few reasons. The #1 thing that sets Bed bug control apart from other pest insect management programs is that you have to treat personal items such as clothing, shoes, picture frames, beds and furniture in some way but most other pests allow you to spot spray or apply a perimeter spray around the room. Bed bugs are not attracted to baits like roaches or ants so you must take the treatments directly to them. Another challenge bedbugs present is their ability to quickly become resistant to synthetic pyrethroids. While other insects may build up resistance to this chemical group, bedbugs seem to be able to do so exceptionally fast. These means you must use a variety of products and techniques to control bedbugs.
In most cases you can do your own bedbug elimination treatments. It really takes three components to be successful:
First and foremost, you must be willing to commit to the labor that is involved which include preparations prior to the treatment, the initial application and the needed repeat applications. Next, it is very important to choose products that are specifically labeled for bedbugs and labeled for use in the areas you intend to use them. Last, you must be thorough. There are no shortcuts when you are dealing with bedbugs. Every item, every crack and crevice and every void in the infested room must be treated in some way. Failure to be thorough will almost always lead to treatment failure.
There are several benefits to doing your own bedbug treatment.
1.You can do the treatment at your own pace and when you have time vs a company that will set a specific time frame for you to be home which could mean you will miss work.
2. You get to choose what products are being used in your home. You don't have to hope the company you hired is using products you feel are safe for you and your family.
3. No one loves your home and family like you do. Chances are you are going to be very thorough, apply the products only where the instructions say they can be applied and do the follow up treatments as specified. At the end of the day the professional gets to go home, but you and your family will be sleeping in the home. Who has more motivation to get the job done right?
4. There is a clear cost difference between doing your own treatment and hiring a company to do it for you. You will usually spend about $200-$300 to do your own treatment in an average size home while hiring a professional company typically starts at about $1500. While you are using the same exact products they are, you are also paying for their time, travel and labor.
There are a few instances when trying to treat your home for bedbugs should only be done by professionals.
1.If you or someone who lives in your home has an illness that can be affected by chemicals, doing treatments yourself would not be recommended. Instead you should consider hiring a company that can do complete heat treatments.
2. Bedbug treatments require lifting objects, bagging clothes and moving large items.
If you are unable to do the labor required to do a thorough treatment, it is time to call in a professional company.
3. If you made the mistake of using a fogger or bug bomb in your home to treat for bedbugs and you are now finding bedbugs in odd places like the kitchen, bathroom or on the ceiling, you should call in the pros. It is likely that the house may need to be treated in attics, all wall voids or they may even recommend doing a whole house heat treatment or tenting to eliminate the bedbugs.
Bed bug control doesn't have to be expensive. The main objective of DoMyOwnPestControl.com is to save you money on pest control, including the more difficult pests like bed bugs.
Bed bugs are one of the most difficult pests to control and if you're not careful, you may end up throwing your bed, couch, and other pieces of costly furniture, out the door. Don't let it get to this point; buy our bed bug control products and prevent or kill those bed bugs before it's too late.
With the increasing number of bed bug bites and infestations across the world, many people are wondering how to prevent, control, kill, and quite simply, just get rid of them. Here you will find some of the best bed bug treatment and prevention products available today, as well as all the information and treatment guides you might need.
Bedbugs have long been associated with filth and dirt, but any home or dwelling has the potential for bedbugs. They just need the right conditions and food sources to thrive. You will need to know the signs of a bedbug infestation. See our article about doing your own bed bug inspection for more information.Since bed bugs do not fly, they are expert hitchhikers and can take fairly long journeys to find food and shelter. This makes hotels and apartments especially vulnerable to bed bugs. See our article about how to avoid hotel bed bugs, as well as our tips for apartment bed bug control.
After you have inspected thoroughly, now you must get rid of your invaders. There are two key aspects to controlling bed bugs: non-chemical control to eradicate the bugs from your environment and chemical controls to break the lifecycle of the bed bugs and keep them from returning.
To achieve the maximum level of control, it will be necessary to incorporate some form of pesticide use as part of the overall approach to bed bug management. Think of pesticides as the powerful punch of your program. When applying pesticides, be sure to treat all surrounding areas to the infestation, in addition to the source itself, including wall voids between infested rooms.
Product Recommendations: To get rid of bed bugs effectively we'd recommend purchasing at least one of each type of product below for a complete bed bug control treatment. Don't forget to purchase enough for a follow-up treatment in two weeks:
The final step in bed bug management is the most important. You will probably see a significant improvement after the initial treatment and implementation of the steps in this program. Complete bed bug elimination takes patience, persistence, and time. Following an initial treatment and implementation, you should continue to actively inspect on a regular schedule (every 2 or 3 weeks) to monitor bed bug populations. Non-chemical and chemical control will likely need to be repeated on a bi-monthly to monthly basis until all signs of infestation disappear completely.
Some of the signs of bed bugs include small blood stains or small, light brown skins found on bed sheets, headboards, walls, and other areas of a room.

Integrating DevOps into the ITIL Orthodoxy

For many years, I've felt that I've been the official ITIL® apologist in the DevOps community, because I've always believed that DevOps and ITIL should be able to peacefully coexist. But these days, I feel that a more activist role in the DevOps community is necessary - we must reach out and form effective bridges with the ITIL community, because ITIL is the most powerful and entrenched orthodoxy in large, complex IT organizations.
I use the word "orthodoxy" very deliberately, intending it to be merely a statement of fact, without any judgements. The Oxford dictionary defines orthodoxy as "an authorized or generally accepted theory, doctrine, or practice."
This certainly sounds like ITIL to me! ITIL is the lingua franca of IT Operations and Service Management, with over three million certified IT professionals and many (if not most) Fortune 500 companies using it. At a minimum, ITIL is something that everyone in the DevOps community should be familiar with, if only to be able to form credible and mutually-respected relationships with those we need to work with. Also, as organizations born in the DevOps world are growing, there is a lot to learn from the experience and codified practices of the past 26 years - both in terms of what to do, and what not to do.
I'll speak more specifically about some of the common challenges with how organizations interpret ITIL later in this article, but first, I want to describe my relationship with the ITIL community. My ITIL adventures started around 2001 with Kevin Behr (one of my fellow co-authors of The Phoenix Project: A Novel About IT, DevOps, and Helping Your Business Win). It provided a structure and a lens to study the practices of high-performing technology organizations. Hanging out with ITIL people was extremely rewarding, and I learned so much about continuous improvement in practice, it substantiated my belief that process and controls were important in order to achieve organizational outcomes. (As you might imagine, these beliefs would later become even further crystallized studying audit!).
You can get a glimpse of how I view the ITIL community in The Phoenix Project — the two characters that our protagonist Bill relies upon most are Patty and Wes. Wes is the Director of Distributed Technology, embodying the cowboy server admin culture, and Patty is the Director of IT Service Support, embodying many of the sensibilities of ITIL. I still love this description of them as the opposite poles:
Where Wes is loud, outspoken, and shoots from the hip, Patty is thoughtful, analytical, and a stickler for processes and procedures. Where Wes is large, combative, and sometimes even quarrelsome, Patty is elfin, logical, and level-headed. She has a reputation for loving processes more than people and is often in the position of trying to impose order on the chaos in IT. She's the face of the entire IT organization. When things go wrong in IT, people call Patty. She's our professional apologist, whether it's services crashing, web pages taking too long to load, or, as in today's case, missing or corrupted data.
But let's face it, many of the challenges with ITIL adoption that we faced fourteen years ago are still here: how do we best use the guidance to create processes that don't suck the will to live out of everyone it touches, especially around change management? How do we compel everyone to keep our configuration management system up to date? How do we ensure that problem management doesn't turn into a nasty blame game?
One of the modern miracles of DevOps principles and practices is that many parts of ITIL processes can now be automated, solving significant challenges, especially in the configuration, release and deployment management processes. For instance, a deployment pipeline often fully automates our deployment and release steps, and infrastructure management tools such as Zookeeper and Consul make service discovery and dependency mapping (the traditional domain of configuration management) just one more part of every development team's daily work - if developers don't get it right, their service won't run, won't know how to connect to other services, etc.
And because DevOps requires fast detection and recovery when service incidents occur, the ITIL disciplines of event, incident and problem management remain as relevant as ever. And automation continually frees more of our time to focus on value-adding service improvements.
But if we want DevOps to be widely adopted in large, complex organizations, the DevOps community must earn the trust of ITSM professionals and see how our efforts can help solve some of their most fundamental and chronic challenges—the same challenges that many in the ITIL community have been trying to solve for over two decades.
Here's one of the sessions I was most excited about at the DevOps Enterprise Summit that took place in London on 30 June and July 1 2016: Kaimar Karu from Axelos, the custodians of ITIL, hosted an Open Space session, teaching us how to bridge the gap between DevOps and the ITIL processes and practices that are found in almost every enterprise. He taught us what we should say when we hear a change manager say, "we do DevOps over my dead body," or when a service manager says, "this will never work here."
Kaimar explained what has changed in ITIL in the last 10 years as the framework has evolved from a primary focus on IT Operations to covering the whole Continual Service Improvement powered service lifecycle from Strategy and Design through to Transition and Operation. He also discussed the philosophy behind the recently released ITIL Practitioner guidance, designed by a global team of industry heavyweights including our own Kevin Behr, to help IT professionals get the customer back to the centre of everything they do, and move away from the often too common process-first view of the world. He described the magic words that we can use to build a mutually collaborative relationship that helps our organizations win in the marketplace.

The Papal Artifacts' Collection is primarily dedicated to artifacts connected to the papacy. Individual popes, their biographies and multiple items belonging to them, including first and second class relics, make up the majority of this Collection. But that isn't all it is.
Father Kunst has a deep devotion to the saints as can be readily seen in viewing the Saints & Blesseds section of this site. We invite you to visit Papal History/Saints & Blesseds to view the many canonized and beatified men and women who make up this section of the Collection.
The martyr, St. Maximilian Kolbe, is one of them.
Recently, Fr. Kunst has begun a feature on Papal Artifacts entitled, "A Few Minutes with a Pope, Saint or Blessed or Notable Individual" who is a part of the Collection. It's like getting a bird's eye view into the life and mission of this Collection, which has always been to educate people in the hope that knowing more about our faith and our Church, and the people who have inhabited it, we will grow in love for God and the gift of his Church to us.
We hope you enjoy these minutes!
St. Maximilian Kolbe, thank you for the gift of your life to our Church. Pray for us!
A Letter of Dismissal Signed by St. Maximilian Kolbe
Considered to Be Among the Rarer Autographs of the 20th Century
The artifact is a letter signed by Father Maximilian Kolbe. It concerns the dismissal of an employee and was signed on March 14, 1939.
The letter includes a redaction seal and is considered to be one of the rarer signatures in the 20th century.
"It is among the rarer autographs of 20th century personages, primarily due to the fact that Kolbe did not gain notoriety till decades after his death." —Fr. Richard Kunst
The Papal Artifacts' Collection is fortunate to have obtained, not only his First Class relic, but also, now, his signature.
Translation of the Letter
Center: The Little Diary, Publication of the Knights of the Immaculata
Left upper corner: Headquarter: Niepokalanów
Right upper corner: addresses of local branches
Niepokalanow, March 14, 1939
Honorable Editor
Boleslaw Swiderski
Since, in your letter dated February 27th 1939, delivered to us on March 1st of the current year, you have offended your employer, according to the par. 32 of regulations of employment contract for administrative (white collar) workers, we dismiss (fire) you from work today (with immediate effect).
Fr. Maximilian Kolbe (original: O. Maksymilian Kolbe)
The Little Diary's editor in chief
This is a first-class relic, in the form of hairs from his head and beard, preserved without his knowledge by two friars at Niepolkalanow who served as barbers in his friary between 1930 and 1941. Since his beatification in 1971, these relics have been distributed around the world for public veneration.
Second-class relics, such as his personal effects, clothing and liturgical vestments, are preserved in his monastery cell and in a chapel at Niepokalanow and may be viewed by the faithful who visit
Father Richard Kunst:
The document, included here, authenticates the 1st class relic of hairs from St. Maximilian Kolbe's beard. The barber, who shaved his beard, was supposed to burn the hair, but the fire went out, and as a result the barber kept these hairs. They are now a 1st class relic of a martyred saint.
St. Maximilian Kolbe, pray for us.
Saint Maximilian Kolbe
The Franciscan friar, Maximilian Mary Kolbe, died in the Auschwitz concentration camp on August 14, 1941. Two weeks earlier, a prisoner had gone missing. The commandant, Karl Fristsch, announced the penalty to the entire camp: ten men would die in the starvation bunker. As his name was called, Franciszek Gajowniczek cried out, "My wife, my children!" Father Maximilian stepped forward and offered to take his place. He and the other nine men were tossed naked into a concrete hole in Building 13.
Francixzek Gajowniczek is pictured below at the canonization of Maximilian Kolbe. The saint saved his life and he was privileged to be a part of the canonization
The camp prisoners waited to hear the howls of anguish coming from the bunker. Instead, they heard feeble voices raised in prayer and hymns of praise. Maximilian was encouraging the men. A Pole assigned to serve at the bunker later told how at each inspection the priest was always in the middle of them, standing or kneeling in prayer. After two weeks, only Maximilian remained alive. When the SS men entered the cell, he offered his arm for their lethal injection. And so as the Nazis attempted to starve him to death, it took a dose of carbolic acid to kill him. He did not die by starvation.
One prisoner later said his death was "a shock filled with hope, bringing new life and strength…It was like a powerful shaft of light in the darkness of the camp." Maximilian is a patron of families, for he gave his life for the father of a family. He is a patron of prisoners, for he gave hope to the condemned. —Lisa Lickona, The Magnificat Year of Mercy Companion, page 320 Maximillian Kolbe died August 14, 1941.
Papal Artifacts highly recommends this biography of St. Maximilian Kolbe. Ignatius Press has said of it,
The famous French author's unique writing style captivates the reader with the heroic story of Saint Maximilian Kolbe, a modern apostle of Catholic evangelization, Marian spirituality, and a martyr of charity. With the encouragement of Pope John Paul II and the help of documentation (some unpublished) given to him by the Vatican, Frossard chronicles the dramatic and moving life of this Polish Franciscan who volunteered to die in place of a fellow prisoner in Auschwitz.
While his heroic martyr's death is well known, Frossard shows how Kolbe's whole life was one of extraordinary generosity in devotion to his ideal of "love without limits." Kolbe was that rare combination of mystic, intellectual genius, theologian, and down-to-earth practicality. His tremendous creative energies (despite constant bouts of tuberculosis and less than one lung) enhanced the lives of all those who knew him, the millions who read his publications, and the countless persons inspired by his example. Forget Not Love reveals the interesting and impressive details of Kolbe's childhood, vision of Mary, brilliance in his studies, his founding of the largest monastery in the world (700 Franciscans), massive printing apostolate, missionary journeys to Japan, and his final act of love in Auschwitz. Frossard has captured the heart of the man whom Pope John Paul II declared "the patron saint of this difficult century."

Lauryn Hill Avoids Jail With New CD
Lauryn Hill had an amazing 1998 as her debut solo album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, swept the Grammys and became a radio staple for life. The subsequent 15 years have been less sunny as a smattering of legal and personal issues tarnished her once rocking reputation.
Her financial woes were set to, potentially, send her to prison this week (she pleaded guilty to charges of tax evasion for failing to file tax returns for the years 2005, 2006 and 2007), but a last minute deal is set to save her from incarceration.

Sentencing has been postponed for two weeks in order for Hill to make restitution now that she's signed a $1 million contract with Sony Records (via), which will have her write, release and record a new 5-track album!
Obviously that's easier said than done given Hill's rocky history with contracts/labels/deadlines, but this is one fan praying Lauryn reclaims her throne!

Iredell, James, Jr.
2 Nov. 1788–13 Apr. 1853
James Iredell, Jr., U.S. senator, North Carolina governor, general of state militia, and Superior Court judge, was born in Edenton. His father was James Iredell, Sr., well-known jurist and member of the first Supreme Court of the United States; his mother was Hannah Johnston, of Edenton, the daughter of Samuel Johnston, Sr., of Onslow County and the niece of royal Governor Gabriel Johnston. James, Jr., attended Edenton Academy, was graduated from Princeton University in 1806, studied law, and was admitted to the North Carolina bar in 1809. He was captain of a company of North Carolina volunteers who were active in the defense of Norfolk in the War of 1812. The following year he served as solicitor of the First Circuit Court.
In 1815 Iredell was appointed a brigadier general of North Carolina militia. He was elected from Edenton as a member of the North Carolina General Assembly in 1813 and served again in 1816–28; from 1817 to 1827 he was speaker of the house. Iredell was elected governor of North Carolina in 1827 and served for a few months before his election to the U.S. Senate to complete the unexpired term of Nathaniel Macon, upon the latter's resignation.
Perhaps much of Iredell's claim to fame was as the son of his illustrious father, who was active in colonial and early state government prior to his appointment to the United States Supreme Court by President George Washington. His uncle and mentor, Samuel Johnston, was equally active in the early history of the colony and state, particularly in the organization of the Revolutionary government and the Continental Congress and later as governor and member of the U.S. Senate. Johnston sponsored his nephew's education at Princeton. The younger Iredell's term as governor was too brief for any outstanding accomplishments. In addressing the General Assembly after his election, he proposed continuation of the program of former governors in emphasizing internal improvements and the development of educational facilities. Joseph Caldwell's Numbers of Carlton envisioned a program of railroad expansion to open the western section of the state, providing transportation for the products of that region to a North Carolina port and foreign markets. Iredell suggested the construction of a trial road from Campbellton to Fayetteville.
Iredell did not seek reelection to the U.S. Senate after completing Macon's term. Instead, he returned to North Carolina and moved to Raleigh to practice law. In 1836–37 he was a commissioner to revise the state laws, and from 1840 to 1852 he was a reporter for the North Carolina Supreme Court. He prepared a Digest of All the Reported Cases Determined in the Courts of North Carolina, from the Year 1778 to the Year 1845, published in three volumes in Raleigh between 1839 and 1846.
Iredell's wife was the daughter of Samuel Treadwell, collector of the Port of Edenton. They were the parents of seven children: Frances, Penelope, Annie, Jane, James, Helen, and Samuel. Iredell died in Edenton and was buried in the Johnston family cemetery at Hayes Plantation in Edenton.

Do you believe in relationship-building supremacy with your consumers?
If you just gave the nod, Email Marketing is the most effective marketing tool for you. Not only can you provide relevant information to your consumers but also catapult conversions for your business.
The best part about such a strategy is the personalized experience you will deliver right into your customers' inboxes. Such individualized attention fosters your relationship with them, which eventually helps promote your content and products to the most loyal base.
On top of it, with 333.2 billion emails in circulation, you can gauge your newsletter's power to build your connections and nurture them.
Being said that, creating prolific emails that engage, delight, and convert your audience isn't a cinch. It takes a whole lot of research, creativity, and inspiration.
Therefore, we have created a list of best email marketing campaign examples to inspire your email marketing strategy.
Let's find out!
Is Email Marketing Worth Your Time?
In current times when the entire world is taken by storm with Instagram Reels or live podcasts, email marketing does seem old-school. However, this oldie is here to stay and propel your growth.
But how?
An Email List
When people are already tired of receiving spam and unsolicited loan offers, you can't expect to pitch your services to anyone. That's why you need a curated list of the right people who'll be interested in what you're offering.
An Email Service Provider
Once you're through with the list of your targeted consumers, you can schedule the emails. However, you will need to segment your email distribution, which the ESP will do for you. Essentially, the provider operates as a single platform to optimize and automate your efforts with an effective strategy.
A Defined Objective
Whether you're focusing on brand awareness or customer engagement, you can get your email marketing strategy to come on board.
Now, if you still aren't sure about the effectiveness of Email Marketing, let the statistics ease your worries!
- The experts forecast the email users' trajectory to grow by 3% every year, leading to 4.5 billion in 2024.
- Every $1 spent on the emails will yield you a return of $38. Now, that's an exciting ROI!
- B2B Marketers rely on email marketing metrics as a measure of success for brand awareness and performance.
- 37% of B2C marketers engage in email marketing on a daily basis.
What Does an Effective Email Marketing Plan Require?
To navigate the world of email marketing successfully, all you need is a plan.
Don't fret if you still don't have any. Here's the outline that you can use to build an impressive email marketing strategy!
Tailor for Needs
Your email marketing depends on how you add value to consumers' lives. Essentially, you must tailor your emails to cater to your customers' requirements. The best way to do it is by creating a buyer's persona to understand what they require.
To curate a specific buyer's persona to ensure success for your product or services, you will require:
- Their background
- Basic information such as their age, average income, location, etc.
- Their personal and professional goals
- The daily challenges they face
Gauge Your Goals
To make a mark on your customers, you will need to define your goals. The most effective mode of doing so is by using historical optimization and industry comparisons. You will need precise data and metrics to analyze the average statistics for your industry.
- For tracking the everyday performance of the emails sent in your marketing campaigns, focus on Clickthrough rates.
- To estimate the extent to which your marketing goals are successful, you'll require Conversion rates.
- For checking the efficiency of your marketing process, including the technical aspect, bounce rates are essential to consider.
- If generating new leads is the growth criteria in your marketing strategy, the email sharing rate is critical to track.
Note: Since the data varies from one sector to another, you cannot presume a single benchmark without observing the information available for your niche.
Shape Your List
To ensure that your target audience receives the message you want to deliver, it's essential that you use opt-in forms to welcome your consumers. You can utilize multiple avenues to acquire the consent of your prospects. You can:
- Provide a sign-up sheet
- Conduct a seminar or an event
- Optimize your webpage for opt-ins
Choose Your Type
Email marketing varies from one industry to another. That's why you must analyze what works the best for you before starting with newsletters. For instance, Welcome emails work fantastic for all industries, while Cart Abandonment mails are perfect for the e-commerce sector.
Largely, you can select between digital newsletters, invitational mails, promotional emails, and retention correspondence. That's to say; every email marketing type is an offshoot of these four varieties. So, you can pick any category and convert it into a marketing kind to favor your marketing strategy.
On top of this, you can even segment your audience to receive different emails according to their category.
Curate a Routine
Do you send out emails once a week?
You will have to plan ahead of time to inform your audience about your launches or events. Essentially, you must hit the sweet spot of contact so that it doesn't appear like spamming and still drives your campaigns.
Measure the Outcomes
Deploy. Assess. Repeat.
As a marketer, the future of your campaigns depends on the yield that you're able to garner in the present. That's why it's crucial for you to measure your KPIs and build on them.
What Can You Send to Your Consumers in an Email?
Having an excellent marketing strategy is like identifying the most profitable financial assets. It not only builds upon your existing holdings but also aids in navigating the economic market in the future. Also, it compounds over time to deliver profit!
Welcome Mails
The first impression is the last, especially with email marketing.
As soon as your consumer signs up on your webpage, you can send them a warm email. The message can talk about what your brand offers and how you cherish them.
Promotional Mails
So, you are starting a flash sale for your products this summer?
Let your audience know about the same through a well-formed email newsletter with a clear call to action. Technically, you can use CTAs to drive your consumers towards an action you want them to take, like visiting your webpage.
Promotional emails are the versatile instrument your email marketing machine needs. Email marketing virtual assistant can help you better on this as well.
Informational Insights
Have you been receiving the query for the right way to use your anti-aging serum?
Besides engaging your consumers through social media stories, you can utilize newsletters to bring the solution to their inboxes.
An informational email can contain anything, whether an announcement or just a relevant tip that your customers will cherish.
Re-Engagement Emails
Your customer scoured through your webpage but didn't make the purchase.
Through a re-engagement mail, you can remind your customer about the purchase or simply reconnect with them.
Are There Any Leading Examples of Extraordinary Email Marketing Campaigns?

Well…we're already into March. Wow.
In 18 days we're done with this chapter. It's been a big one.
It started in September…and it's included everything from a big fight between Dwarves and Nicodemus to discovering Nicole's connection to Dreamland.
We've met Centaurs and seen Dan and Nicole get closer.
I can't wait to end this chapter and start working on Chapter 14.
Which leads me to this…
I'm going to need to take another break between chapters. I have a feeling…as the story starts to escalate…I'll need to do this between each chapter.
Take into consideration the amount of other books I'm putting out for IDW and the dealings with my company and Hollywood…it's best that I reorganize between chapters.
We're 2-3 weeks away from this…but I thought you should know.
Also…being the first of the month…if you're so inclined…you can vote for us to keep us in towards the top.
I wish I had something new to post for vote incentives…but honestly I just find it more interesting to show you in the blog.
We got some snow yesterday…we had a blast playing in it. (the boys really…I mostly took pictures).
I start Physical Therapy for my back this week. But other than that…I'll just be working as usual.
I hope you enjoy this week and we'll see you back in Dreamland in just a few more days.
Be patient.
