Thanks to the entrepreneurial revolution and the ease of doing business these days, today's consumers have multiple options and there is intense competition among businesses. This entrepreneurial revolution may have disrupted the monopoly of giant companies in the market and given consumers more control over the buying process. Still, there are some brands with a fanatical consumer base in every field which continue to rule their particular domains. This is because they are always redefining their structure according to the changing dynamics of the market so they can continue to evolve their products or services.
When it comes to blogging platforms, the biggest rivalry is between WordPress and Tumblr. These two are arguably the most popular and powerful blogging platforms, each offering some fantastical features and a unique approach to usability, making it very difficult to decide which platform is the best.
Picking the right platform is essential if you want to give your blog the best start in life. In this article, we are going to analyze the benefits and drawbacks, as well as the competitive advantages of two outstanding blogging platforms so that you have a clear picture that can help you make a better decision.
WordPress Overview
WordPress began its journey is 2002 and has successfully emerged as the most popular and widely used blogging software on the market. Over the last couple of years, WordPress has evolved from simple blogging software to a complete content management system.
It is now also providing enterprise-level e-commerce solutions and has taken over the e-commerce industry by storm. This is primarily because third parties have taken advantage of WordPress rise as a business opportunity and have developed dozens of free and paid extensions. For example, there is an extension called WooCommerce product image watermark that allows e-commerce store owners to put a watermark on the product images without any hassle. Similar extensions are available for WordPress bloggers as well.
WordPress offers two versions of its blogging platform: WordPress.org (self-hosted) and WordPress.com. Both of the versions are technically free and collectively empower almost 75 million websites today.
Benefits of WordPress for Blogging
Cheap and Powerful: You don't need a lot of money to get started. It also offers bloggers a wide range of plugins and themes to improve the overall appearance and functionality of their blog.
Easy to Use: WordPress is very simple, easy and fun to use. Its features are self-explanatory and content publishing is so straightforward that literally, everybody can learn how to use it. No technicality or coding involved –although if you have a bit of coding knowledge, you can take things to another level.
No Stress Over Traffic Loads: This might not be an upfront problem but soon as your blog starts to grow and you get steady traffic, you have to enable your blog to handle the high traffic. With WordPress, you can easily upgrade your hosting services.
WordPress Updates: Since WordPress is open source, it constantly receives feedback from its user and uses it to improve its design and development. It always stays updated and keeps improving.
Monetization: One of the key benefits of WordPress that often goes unnoticed is that monetization with WordPress is a lot easier compared to other blogging platforms. As soon as you achieve the required traffic, you can contact advertisers and make money. Almost all major ad networks (like Google Ad Sense and Propeller Ads) have launched dedicated monetization plugins for WordPress blogs.
Cons of WordPress for Blogging
Crappy URL: You can get started for $0 but the free version will give you a not-very-professional URL that will look like myblogname.WordPress.com. You have to pay $13 a year if you want to remove "WordPress.com" from the URL and make it look professional.
Speed: Speed is one of the key factors that determine a blog success. Since WordPress has a lot of generic codes and heavily relies on plugins for functionality, this can slow down the responding time. resulting on a major setback when it comes to loading time.
Vulnerability: As it is widely used, WordPress is an easy target for hackers. Your site is vulnerable to cyber attacks all the time as the codes you are using have been written by someone else — meaning there is a possibility that it may contain some malicious codes or bugs that may hinder the functionality of your blog in future.
Tumblr can be defined as social media for blogging. Instagram has also become a common visual blogging tool, but Tumblr is ahead of Instagram because it's highly sophisticated. Another major difference is that Instagram is meant for mobiles — and although it can be accessed on desktops, it just simply performs better as a mobile application. Tumblr, on the other hand, works like a social network but is good for blogging on all devices and viewports. It has a wider community of users, where people love to reblog posts from other users while adding their own notes in the captions.
Benefits of using Tumblr for blogging
Simplicity: It doesn't get any easier than Tumblr — you just sign up and start blogging, no prep time required. You can set up a functioning blog in minutes using Tumblr's premade customizable themes.
Cost: Tumblr does offer free blogging solutions but they are very basic. In order to customize and further enhance the functionality, you will have to buy premium versions that start at $9 and go up to $49.
SEO Friendliness: SEO is also one of the key factors that determine the success of your blog. It helps your content reach a relevant and wider audience. Tumblr is SEO friendly and allows you to track statistics using Google analytics and other similar plugins that can help with SEO.
Self-sustainability: Tumblr is cool. It allows you to schedule posts without having to use third party apps like Hootsuite and Virtue.
Mobile Optimized: Mobile usage has officially surpassed desktop usage so your blog has to be mobile friendly. Tumblr has a highly sophisticated iOS, Android, and Windows app, so your blog is automatically mobile-optimized.
Cons of Tumblr
Design Limitations: Tumblr offers design customization options for its themes, but to be fair, they are quite limited. Tumblr isn't the right choice for you if you have strict brand guidelines.
Tumblr is Visual: Tumblr is perfect for images — a great plus since the success of your blog relies heavily on imagery, If you want to write long blog posts, Tumblr isn't for you. In addition to that, unless your entire target market is on Tumblr, you might miss out on some connections.
Server Dependency: One major disadvantage of Tumblr is server dependency. Everything is placed on their system. This can be a major security threat as well as a technological one. If for some reason their server goes down, your page is going to go with it.
In the end, whether you choose WordPress or Tumblr might just be personal preference. One extra thing to keep in mind is that WordPress blogs can more easily be converted into full-fledged websites, while Tumblr is primarily for bloggers.

Hang up the American Flag and Face Eviction
A seventy year old Navy veteran is facing eviction from his apartment if he hangs out his American flag on Veteran's Day November 12th. The reason that he will be facing eviction is that he will be breaking the rules of his apartment complex. The man, Edward Zivica, lives in Springfield, Oregon in a subsidized housing project. He has been given notice that if he puts anything on the exterior walls he will be evicted.
After he put the flag up for Navy Day on October 27th, he received the notice. He had hung the flag near the main entrance outside of the community room. There are several days that pay homage to by hanging out his flag. In June, he got a notice from the management telling him to quit hanging out his flag.
He was in the Submarine Service of the Navy from 1960 to 1967. The flag he keeps hanging out is the one that he received from the Army when his father died. His father was a World War II veteran and he has a brother who was a Marine and served in Korea.
Because he does not have many housing options, he has decided to sign a compliance notice stating that he will not fly his flag any longer. The CEO of the apartment complex states that they have nothing against the American flag but they did not want to take a chance that it could lead to other banners or flags that could be controversial.

Big Cat Fossils Indicate That Early Ancestors May Have Killed Off The Saber-Toothed Tiger
The saber-toothed tiger of the ancient era may have been killed by early ancestors, reveal new fossils found by researchers today, according to BBC News.
Hence, our forefathers, the homo heidelbergensis, were the first human ancestors that used wooden tools like spears for hunting deer.
However, the recent findings show that the spears might have been used for more than just hunting. They were also defensive devices to protect themselves against the big cats.
Some feline teeth and bones at a site in Germany held "the oldest discovery of human spears."
"We can say that the humans - and the sabre toothed cat - were living 300,000 years ago in the same area, in the same landscape," said Jordi Serangeli with of the University of Tubingen in Germany. "The humans were hunters but they were not alone; they had to defend themselves from all the big carnivores."
The research was published in the Journal of Human Evolution.
"The discovery illustrates the possible day-to-day challenges that the Schöningen hominins (a region specific ancestor) would have faced and suggests that the wooden spears were not necessarily only used for hunting, but possibly also as a weapon for self-defence," Serangeli said in the report.
Perhaps humans may have actually created the extinction of the big cats? It is quite possible, and the scientists are exploring the possibility.

Are you thinking of putting in a project proposal for the latest JISC call? If so, the RSP can help you.
The RSP exists to help repository projects contextualise their work, contact other people, and help to pass news, ideas and best practice around the community.
There is no need for RSP to be a full partner in your proposal for us to work with you on certain things - see below. We can disseminate ideas and practical results that come from your work to the rest of the repository community. Having said that, our staff already have a full work programme. Therefore, if you anticipate needing appreciable help from the RSP with advocacy, advice, or technical support, or would like to work with us as a full partner in your project, then please get in touch to discuss this.
The RSP can:
- promote the results of your project with suitable audiences through the RSP Outreach Programme
- distribute project literature to our contacts, through our events and consultancy visits
- put pointers in place through our website to highlight the results of your research and development
- help you and the community to identify best practice and practical results from your work for use by the community
- highlight any events that you organise, through the RSP website
In return, we would like you to:
- give us information on your work, and provide updates as it develops
- be prepared to answer any questions we receive about your work and ideas
- engage with the community in general through RSP e-mails, wikis and events
- provide a speaker and/or material for any RSP event that relates to your area of work
Do note that while RSP is here to support the dissemination of project results and support building communities of practice, it is unlikely that JISC will see the RSP as being sufficient as the sole dissemination route for your material! In other words, you will have to make some separate provision within your project bid for the dissemination of information and project outputs.
JISC has funded us to work in this way and encourages projects to play a full collaborative part in this dissemination and support work. Amber Thomas, the JISC Programme Manager for this area says:
"We don't want people to start from scratch. We want members of the community to learn from each other, to collaborate, and to share their challenges. The Repositories Support Project is here to help repository managers and projects, and provides access to a wealth of experience"
We look forward to hearing from you about your work.

It's September, and that means back to school time. For many young folks, it's the first semester of their college career – an exciting time that's also more than a bit scary. If you're starting college this fall, there's more to think about than what classes you'll take. The habits and discipline you develop now will guide much of your future success in your adult life. This week I would like to talk to our young readers about some money management basics I hope they will find useful – start building your financial freedom today.
First and foremost, learn to budget. A strong budget is the first step towards financial security. I use a simple Excel spreadsheet, and have done so for 20 years. You can also use one of those fancy personal finance budgeting applications, such as YNAB or Mint. Create a budget that accounts for all your income and predictable expenses such as; housing and food costs, transportation and travel, utilities, and entertainment. Even if your parents are helping you with some of this, track your expenses yourself, and always make sure to live within your means.
Americans are more burdened by student loan debt than ever. In fact, the average student loan debt for Class of 2017 graduates was $39,400, up six percent from the previous year. So, understanding and minimizing debt is crucial. Let's look at some fundamental considerations to help minimize the amount of money you need to see yourself through school.
First consider comparing the costs of living on campus in a dorm to the cost of sharing an apartment off campus with roommates. Often times off-campus life, while maybe not as convenient, will help to reduce the overall college expense. Alternately, if dorm life is for you, or if you're at a campus where there aren't a lot of other options, consider becoming a Resident Assistant (RA). While RA's receive free room and board, it isn't for everyone. While it is a great opportunity to save money, it does require more responsibility.
You must be persistent. Most high school seniors work extremely hard to earn scholarships and to apply for grant money as they prepare for freshman year of college. Work with your financial aid office at your school throughout your whole college experience. Reapply for scholarships and look for new ones. Elliot Hubbard once said, "A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless may turn to glorious success."
William Shakespeare said, "Neither a borrower nor a lender be." While credit cards can be a good way to begin to establish your credit score, it can also destroy it. You must never charge more than you can pay in full when that statement arrives each month. Establish good financial behavior now. There is nothing that will sink your credit rating faster or quicker than delinquent payments.
Credit card companies will entice new recruits with offers such as, interest-free balance transfers, easy reward perks, and most commonly, low or 0% Annual Percentage Rate (APR) introductory rates. These are initial rates and will go up over time. The average interest rate on credit cards in the U.S. is 16.41%, according to CreditCards.com. Understand what your interest rate will shoot up to after your introductory period is done.
Also, work to your keep a low credit utilization ratio. The credit utilization ratio is the percentage of how much you owe, compared to your available credit. Credit scoring models favor consumers who don't use more than 30% of their available credit, according to NerdWallet. For example, if your credit card has a $1,000 limit, then $300 must be the absolute maximum balance to help facilitate a low credit utilization ratio. I know, it is easy to think you can afford more, but be smart here. Remember, there are no short cuts in achieving financial health. It involves immense discipline and hard work.
You see, there are two basic types of debt, installment debt, such as student loans, and revolving debt, like a credit card. While both affect your credit utilization ratio and score, installment loans have a smaller impact on them than revolving debt.
Becoming fiscally disciplined is essential to help building a solid financial foundation for the rest of your life. Living within your means and using credit responsibly will compound later in adult life . . . when it matters. Responsible credit utilization leads to higher credit scores which will affect future interest rates you may incur for auto loans, mortgages – it can even determine future employment.
Lastly, always pay yourself first. From each paycheck for the rest of your life should come some deposit into some form of savings vehicle before bills and expenses are paid. As I tell my kids, it is the little things that make a big difference. And saving now will make a big difference later in life.
I know retirement may seem like a lifetime away; I get it. I have walked in your shoes. But compound interest, the idea that money compounds on top of money, is your best financial friend. Albert Einstein once said, " Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it … he who doesn't … pays it. Compound interest is the most powerful force in the universe."
Going to college, picking a major, working hard to get your degree are all essential building blocks to a rewarding life. Freshman, implementing financial discipline and becoming financially fit are essential building blocks to financial freedom.
Be vigilant and stay alert, because you deserve more. You can do this.
Good luck in school this year!

AT least 450 carers will lose £3,000 because of changes to the benefit system, according to the Scottish Government. Holyrood have also said that the final figure could be much higher, but the Department for Work and Pension is holding back information.
The news came as the Conservative Government confirmed plans for "significant" cuts to benefits over the next decade.
In answer to a Parliamentary Question submitted by MSP Christina McKelvie, the Scottish Government have estimated that 450 people who receive carer's allowance "would lose over £3,000 per year, in Scotland as a result of the move from Disability Living Allowance to Personal Independence Payment (PIP)".
The written answer continues: "However, this estimate was based on a DWP impact assessment which was published in 2013, at the start of the PIP implementation. Since then, the rollout has been subject to delays and so we do not have a clear position as to the real impact on carers in Scotland".
Yesterday charities joined the Scottish Government in calling for welfare powers to be devolved to Holyrood. The SCVO, the membership organisation for Scotland's charities, voluntary organisations and social enterprises said that the news was "devastating".
A spokesperson for SCVO said: "This news will have a devastating impact on carers and their families right across the country who are already struggling simply to get by from one day to the next.
"With vital social care services disappearing or families being priced out of existing services, the only option for thousands of people is to give up work to care for their loved ones. They must be supported to do so and the huge effort they put into looking after the most vulnerable people in our communities should be praised.
"That's why we would like to see welfare powers devolved to the Scottish Parliament so we have a chance to implement our own, more compassionate system which supports people instead of punishing them."
The Personal Independence Payment was introduced in 2012 as a replacement for the Disability Living Allowance. Both benefits are to help with the cost of living with a disability. The PIP was supposed to be rolled out nationally by October 2015, but has been delayed.
SNP MSP Christina McKelvie, who asked the question, said the statistics released by the minister were "deeply worrying".
McKelvie said: "This Parliamentary Answer which finds 450 carers stand to lose £3,000 per year as a result of unfair Tory welfare reforms is deeply worrying – and the fact that the Department for Work and Pensions has failed to provide the Scottish Government with a clear position is of further concern.

The Cooper's Hawk is a crow-sized raptor that breeds in deciduous and mixed-deciduous forests throughout the United States, southern Canada, and northern Mexico. Across this broad distribution, which is expanding northward and southward, it is an inconspicuous species. However, since the 1970s, Cooper's Hawks have commonly nested in suburban and urban landscapes, such that it is likely the most common backyard breeding raptor across North America. It also is a frequently observed bird of passage at autumnal migration watchsites, locations where raptors concentrate in migration. The female Cooper's Hawk is about one-third larger than the male, and indeed this species shows among the greatest reversed size dimorphism of any of the world's hawks. Vocalizations, especially by the female, may be an important element of the pair bond in this highly dimorphic species. Midway in size between the larger Northern Goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) and the smaller Sharp-shinned Hawk (A. striatus), the Cooper's Hawk, like these other accipiters, has short, powerful, rounded wings and a relatively long tail that ensures marked maneuverability in its quick pursuit of birds and mammals.
The Cooper's Hawk breeds in both extensive areas of forest and smaller woodlots, as well as in pine plantations, and suburban and urban woodlands of towns and cities of all sizes. It also nests at high densities in the small wooded tracts in grasslands of the Northern Great Plains. It captures a variety of prey, mainly medium-sized, shrub- and ground-dwelling birds and mammals such as doves, jays, robins, chipmunks, and other rodents.
Some eastern populations of the Cooper's Hawk declined significantly in the mid-1900s, owing to shooting, trapping, and pesticide contamination. Many states in the eastern United States and some Canadian provinces designated the species as Threatened or Endangered in the late 1900s, but such designations were rescinded as evidence of widespread recovery of breeding populations.
Population trends generated from migration count data are available from Hawk Mountain Sanctuary and Cape May (see Table 1 ). Rosenfield (1), Rosenfield et al. (2), and McConnell (3) provided good summaries of changes in the species' distribution and abundance (see also 4). Since the 1990s, there have been concerted efforts to document habitat use in various parts of the species' range, with some emphasis on differences in the quality of nesting habitat (indexed by density and productivity) in natural versus human-altered landscapes (e.g., suburbia, plantations). Studies of this type have occurred in Arizona (5, 6) and Wisconsin (7, 1). Detailed information on nest-site use and selection is available for New Jersey and New York (8), New Mexico (9), Arizona (10), Wisconsin (11), Pennsylvania (3), and North Dakota (12). An ongoing 40-year study in Wisconsin has described nesting chronology, productivity, annual adult survival rates, dispersal, habitats and breeding density (13, 1, 14), including long-term responses of breeding birds to recent climate change (15) and genetic and morphological variation among northern populations (2, 16).
The species was named in 1828 by Charles Bonaparte (American Ornithology) for his friend and fellow ornithologist, William C. Cooper, a New York scientist and father of James C. Cooper, who was later honored in the title of the Cooper Ornithological Society (17).

On December 24, Monday, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had ordered the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) to provide the lease tenants at Panvel with houses and issue a lottery for the 8000 houses. Accordingly, MHADA Vice President Milind Mhaiskar stated that the lottery of 8000 houses would be issued soon which will be a gift for the mill workers.
The Maharashtra Housing Area and Development Authority (MHADA) had decided that they will issue the lottery by January 2019. However, as per the Bombay High Court order, the housing board has been directed to initially sort and scrutinise the applications and later issue the lottery. Therefore, if the housing board announces the lottery, then it would be a violation of the court's order. Thus, the mill workers' union has decided to protest against MHADA's decision.
The government has been thriving to provide the mill workers with affordable houses. Accordingly, they had handed over the responsibility to construct the houses to MMRDA. However, after the housing authority failed to construct the houses after which, the chief minister ordered MMRDA to issue the lottery within 15 days.
However, if the housing authority does not scrutinise the applications prior to issuing the lottery, then they would be violating the high court's order. Therefore, MHADA has made no official announcement till now and as soon as the announcement will be made, the union will resolve their decision accordingly.

Medieval Tuscany
Pierluigi, Jacopo and I spent two days discovering two Tuscany gems: Volterra and Bolgheri.
Sited on the confluence of the Cecina and Era Valle, Volterra is a very ancient city of Etruscan origin.
Volterra still has a typical medieval appearance which has been preserved almost intact over the centuries.
At the centre of the town is Piazza dei Priori surrounded by wonderful medieval buidings built in a mellow sienna coloured stone.
In addition, the town is well-know for its residents' alabaster artistry. Alabaster is a form of crystallized chalk that has a delicate, milky but translucent texture.
Our discovery of Tuscany continues with the amazing Bolgheri.
The name Bolgheri comes from a Bulgarian military camp, allied with the Longobards
As can be seen, Bolgheri is a charming village on top of a round hill, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves.
It's perfect for a dinner out and for a nice and relaxing walk trough the Tuscan countryside. I definitely suggest a drive along the famous Viale dei Cipressi that leads to Bolgheri; this is a scenic, straight avenue, borded by majestic and ancient cypresses leading you in front of the Bolgheri's Castle.
But Bolgheri is olso world famous for its wines : Ornellaia, Sassicaia, Tua Rita, Tenuta Argentiera, Guado al Tasso…hats off !!
Cheers guys !!!!

Boy, if you still got a head wid a brain in it, your piece, two balls, arm, legs, family friends, maybe a roof over your head, dat's a big acheivement you know… It is, but obviously the song dat makes people finally realise dis bre's amazin'.
Would you agree that lack of ambition and small horizons are what's holding the UK scene back from progressing or blowing up?
Look out for Cobane and Bobby Banner. Ummm, could you repeat the question?
How did you link with the other guys in The Colony?
I wanted a multiracial crew dat could sell out, so I held an audition for 40 days and 40 nights till it was just us four. I'm thinkin' 'bout throwin' Grim' out. I don't know.
It looks like everyone will have a solo project out before a full Colony album. Is this the plan so that the debut LP will be stronger?
What solo material have you been working on and when will a release hit the other shelves?
It's called 'What's Willo on?' It's the tracks I aint released yet. It's the begining.
How did you hook up with Associated Minds and how much of an advantage is it being around such fresh mc's as Mudmowth and Ruffstylz?
I saved Ruffstylz from being hit by a plane once. So AM offered to release a classic for me. Haha.
What producers have you been working with and who's beats would you like the chance of jumping on?

Who are some of your favourite UK rappers at the moment and which of these would you most dig collaborating with?
Many. All the good ones.
How's your freestyling skills and what other elements of hiphop have you messed with over the years?
I could work at Oxford as a freestyle teacher blud. I workin' on a new style of rhymin' where you don't speak at all, but dat's later on. You mans aint ready.
Do you get the chance to perform live much and what could we expect from a typical Willo The Wisp gig?
Willo on stage rappin', some bitches in the audience havin' heart attacks and some music playin'. Showmanship.
Hiphop aside, what tastes in music and other interests do you have and how does this influence your rap material?
I like hunting. Kill my prey, then I cook it and burn a zoot after while watchinh telly. Ha ha. I feel what Ronaldinho's on right now. He's got skills.
It feels like a turning point right now for the music scene in terms of online sales creating number one hits. Are you into this mp3 generation?
On Monday yes, but on Thursday no.
Is there anything you wanna plug or anybody you'd like to give a shout out to round this up on?
Everyone I know. I wanna plug my bath and sink and wash my armpit. For real though, look out for Willo. Your gonna hear more and more from me. I gonna make dis shit interesting! Thanks for your time.

Thousands of U.S. Kids Hospitalized for Abuse
Close to 4,600 kids in the United States were hospitalized as a result of child abuse in one recent year, and 300 of them died, a new study shows.
Researchers from Yale University analyzed information from the 2006 Kids' Inpatient Database to determine the rate of hospitalizations due to serious physical abuse among children under the age of 18.
Infants aged 1 year or younger were at highest risk for child abuse-related hospitalization. The rate of hospitalization for 1-year-olds was about 58 per 100,000 children, a rate that is higher than that of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
The hospitalization numbers are likely just "the tip of the iceberg," because many abused children don't end up in hospitals, said Karel Amaranth, executive director of the Butler Child Advocacy Center at The Children's Hospital at Montefiore in New York City.
Poverty appears to be another risk factor for child abuse. Children covered by Medicaid, the U.S. health program for low-income families, were about six times more likely to be victims of serious abuse as children who were not on Medicaid.
The new findings appear online and in the March issue of Pediatrics.
Things may have gotten even worse since 2006.
Research suggests that these rates may be even higher since the economy began to falter. One study found that the rate of abusive head trauma rose from about nine per 100,000 children to nearly 15 per 100,000 children from 2004 to 2009, which coincides with the onset of the recession and massive job losses. That study appeared in the October 2011 issue of Pediatrics.
Dr. Walter Lambert, an associate professor of pediatrics and medical director of University of Miami Child Protection Team, is not surprised by the findings.
"There is absolutely no doubt that since the economy started getting worse, the number of reports to child abuse hotlines has gone up and the severity injuries has increased as has the number of kids who end up in the hospital due to child abuse," Lambert said. Earlier identification of at-risk families may help stem some of the violence, he said.
The onus is on everyone in society to help buck this disturbing trend, Amaranth said. "Speak up in a very loud and clear voice because a lot of these children don't have the voice to speak for themselves," she said. "If you feel that a child is being harmed in some way, you have to call it in." Every state has a child abuse hotline.

Re: Thousands of U.S. Kids Hospitalized for Abuse
The problem is they can start throwing all the statistics they like at the public but it means nothing seeing as most of actual physical and mental and sexual abuse go unreported for various reasons so those stats don't mean shit, I shudder to think how many kids suffer in silence whilst their fucking bastard parents pretend to be the doting mom and dad to the outside world, WELL MOM DAD FUCK YOU.

Re: Thousands of U.S. Kids Hospitalized for Abuse
This is great for people to know and sickening to me. Children are our most valuable resource and anyone who commits a criminal act against one should be put to death no questions asked.
I would urge people to help with charitable donations. I don't have much if any extra money but I always donate what I can to charities that benefit abused children.

Re: Thousands of U.S. Kids Hospitalized for Abuse
Kind of like idiots who think a bitch beating his woman is "their business", children are property like in the eyes of most. They can feel bad, but they're not the parents, blah, blah, blah. Ignorant to the shit around them.
I was telling my granny about non biological momma's boyfriends being such a hazard to children, she "doesn't believe that". But this is coming from an old hooch who, when she found out a neighbor girl was prego, she said, and I quote, "I hope it's not black". She's a n abusive cunt, herself.

The healing power of singing is enormous.
Singing to me means connecting with the people around me and sharing my experiences.
I sing more often that I speak, and even as tiny toddler, I would let my voice carry me into spaces that resounded deep within my person. When I sing to myself, it means intimacy, allowing my own space in a very busy world. It means honing vocal skills and experiencing enormous creativity.
I have studied vocal improvisation with Rhiannon, jazz with the Nashville Jazz Workshop, Annie Sellick and Virginia Schenck, Full Voice with Barbara McAffee, taken vocal coaching with lay cantor Gayanne Geurin and practice community singing with Elise Witt.
As a songwriter, I have a full length studio album of original songs, Strange Glass House. One of my very favorite things to do is sing with and for people. Working as a studio vocalist for background, harmony and lead vocals, as well as co-writing projects are also all things that I love.
recent endeavors
Improvisational Singing Circles
Currently, I have fallen in love with the magical cohesion that happens in live improvised singing groups, and this is my primary musical focus right now. We sing with our ears first, listening to and supporting each other. Together we build and cascade through songs that are being created as they happen, melodies that float above, with lyrics that are shared and rhythms that happen with our mouths, our hands and our bodies.
This kind of singing is magical to me because it heals something that seems broken to me about how our society uses music. There is no spectacle, no separation between artists and audience. Singing does not happen to show off, or be a vocal acrobatic, it happens to communicate on an entirely different wave than I have experienced before this. The level of connection that happens between vocalists is unsurpassed, and I truly believe that a process like this can serve to bring peace and healing to our culture. I am on a mission to search for this and am working on plans for a documentary that is about this.
Lily of the Suburbs
Strange Glass House
Lily of the Suburbs studio album, Strange Glass House, is a study in delicate and expressive songwriting, held by her intriguing rich voice and a poetic telling of her own story. Lily of the Suburbs is the moniker Jessica Lily performed under from 2009-2013. Songs like Strange Glass House recount an encounter somewhere between dream and uber awake, sonically crawling through a fragile and crystal clear space, bearing a humanity, wanting to be grounded. The Flood Song brings together the reality of a thick river of water forcing out collections of memories, hopes and things, clearing its path, breaking open and letting go. Tonight laments the cyclic nature late night mental chatter, the regrets and the fears that surface. It steadily soothes them into a new pace: the second half of the song becomes something new and just as the album closes, there is a space for a new start. Strange Glass House is complimented with delicate and expressive instrumentation on the mandolin, banjo and guitar. It is nearly old fashioned country influenced and rock driven, but stands beautifully outside the box.
Background and Lead Vocalist
In the Studio
My love of singing has brought me to work on a variety of projects with other musicians, songwriters and bands. As a hired lead or background vocalist, I have enjoyed interpreting lyric, and bringing life to songs. This process has also stretched me musically, to find ways to be a seamless blend, add power to the instrument's momentum, and even to tell a story with passion, heart and melody. Here is a sample of some of the studio vocal projects I have worked on.

Just a good ol' boy from down south :-)
"A moderate is just a liberal disguise"
"In a capitalist economy such as ours, markets correct. Remember that word: 'correct'. Businesses, out of necessity, correct their mistakes. Can I give you an example of something that does not correct its mistakes very often, if ever? Bureaucracies. "

AERG also has experience with federal grant programs. AERG supported the client in obtaining local permits as well as a grant from the Mississippi Development Authority for this renewable energy project. In addition to the environmental stewardship this renewable energy, green project saves money by utilizing the biogas produced by the anaerobic lagoon in their boiler to produce steam for daily operations.
AERG specializes in optimizing existing biogas systems, fuel blending, and retro-fitting existing biogas systems. A large poultry producer in Mississippi contracted AERG to design and build a biogas recovery system so the captured biogas could be utilized in their boiler instead of being flared. AERG designed and installed a fully-automated, PLC controlled biogas utilization system. This system included above and below ground piping, construction of a block building, and installation of two blowers. Also, a fully metered demand based biogas-natural gas fuel blending system was installed to supply fuel to one of the existing 600 HP blowers.
