Montreal, Quebec — January 18, 2016 — Ryan Cox has been declared the winner of the National Final of the Best of Belron. The competition tests competitors on customer service as well as repair and replacement of windshields and side glass. There is also a written component that tests general knowledge.
The competition took place at the Montreal Science Centre. Nearly 200 automotive industry representatives, suppliers and partners were in attendance to witness the skills and expertise in windshield repair and replacement of seven Canadian finalist glazier technicians.
Cox works as a technician at the Speedy Glass Service Centre in Vancouver. He will represent Canada in the international final, which brings together finalists from 29 countries on May 18 and 19, 2016 at the MEO Arena in Lisbon, Portugal.
"It means a lot to me to have been recognized as the best automotive technician for Belron Canada," says Cox. "My colleagues and I are very fortunate to receive such a high level of training to perfect our skills. The competition was tight, but I'm very proud of the results and very excited to represent Canada at the international competition." The jury and all the experts in attendance celebrated the professionalism of the participants and wished the best of luck to Ryan Cox, who will compete for the title of "Best Belron Technician in the World."
Several activities involving new auto sector technologies took place in parallel with the competition. A seminar on Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and the demonstration of ADAS camera calibration were held between the various competition challenges.
"ADAS systems work using cameras installed in the windshield and supporting the driver, for example, to help them park, notify them to brake to prevent a collision or maintain their trajectory and monitor blind spots. These cameras need to be calibrated when the windshield is replaced, and Belron Canada will offer this service in several service centres across Canada in 2016," says Johan Mortier, Technical Director, Belron International. "By 2020, approximately one out of four cars in North America will be equipped with an advanced driver assistance system that will require calibration of the cameras. These new technologies generate important changes for safety, the environment and urban mobility, and that's why Speedy Glass decided to offer this service."
The impact of technology on the future of the car was also discussed by a panel that brought together experts Nicolas Saunier, Associate Professor at the Polytechnique Montreal, Soumaya Cherkaoui, Full Professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of Université de Sherbrooke, Gabriel Gélinas, automotive columnist, Johan Mortier, Technical Director at Belron International in the U.K. and Marc-Antoine Legault, ARION Program Manager at the Innovative Vehicle Institute (IVI).

Why Set Goals
Why would we set goals , well I compare it to a journey by road, rail, air etc if we just jumped on a random plane and took off we wouldn't know where we would end up. In my early years I treated my whole life like this, I sort of had a plan but I worked day to day with no real purpose.
After I had read some books that succesful people had wrote, I realised that they set goals they had a dream of what they wanted to achieve. Then the light in my mind started to switch on "why I am here? where am I going ?" so "I am here " 23 years old and working day to day with a bit of a plan. I put into practice the teachings of the books, I set goals :
- Short Term
- Medium Term
- Long Term
Now here's the key I wrote them down on some card 3" x 5" and carried these cards with me all the time, I read them out to myself morning and night. A strange thing started to happen, my self confidence grew I woke up in the mornings with a sense of purpose, my whole attitude started to change. Slowly my short term goals started to happen, along the way I would adjust my medium term and long term, my medium term would, as time goes by become my short term.
This is an in depth subject and I am not qualified to teach, I can only say in my experience setting goals changed my life. The late great Jim Rohn did a 35 minute video if you click the link it could change your life if you decide to.
I decided to "Change My Life" to be happy and fulfilled by achieving my purpose, I have a property business and an online business. I have learnt to serve others ( as I hope I am doing now ) respect others for what they are trying to achieve no matter how big or small their ambition. I work on my attitude each day and look to help anyone I can on a daily basis.

Iran's foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, said on Saturday that Tehran was closing in on an agreement to sell oil to European nations despite American threats of sanctions against any countries that do business with Iran.
If the arrangement comes to fruition — some British and French officials say they have their doubts — it would constitute the most open break between President Trump and European allies that objected vociferously to his decision to pull out of the 2015 nuclear deal.
Several of those nations openly confronted Mr. Trump on Wednesday, when he led a United Nations Security Council meeting about weapons of mass destruction. They argued that he was throwing away the best chance the world has to keep Iran from building nuclear weapons in coming years.
In an hourlong conversation with reporters, Mr. Zarif, who negotiated the nuclear accord with John Kerry, who was then the secretary of state, sounded far more optimistic than he had in recent months that he could peel away America's traditional allies to break Mr. Trump's effort to cut off Iran's revenues.
Mr. Zarif is capitalizing on a renewed enthusiasm among some of the allies to push back at what they term bullying by Washington to sever ties with Iran simply because Mr. Trump decided to forsake the nuclear pact. All the other signatories to the agreement — Britain, China, France, Germany, Iran and Russia — have vowed to stand by it.
"No sovereign country or organization can accept that somebody else decides with whom you are allowed to do trade with," Federica Mogherini, the European Union foreign policy chief, said this past week. She predicted that the financial arrangements could be in place before Mr. Trump issues the next set of sanctions in November, aimed at banks, businesses and countries that conduct business with Tehran.
At the core of the agreement that Iran and Europe are trying to forge is a mechanism for paying for Iran's oil in barter and local currencies, rather than in American dollars. The idea is to route around the United States and prevent it from blocking financial transfers — and perhaps from identifying those involved in the transactions.
"This is for us to sell our oil and get the proceeds," Mr. Zarif said, noting that under the United Nations resolutions passed once the 2015 agreement was reached, countries have the legal right to trade with Iran.
Trump administration officials argue that the agreement was deeply flawed because it does not permanently ban Iran from producing nuclear fuel — it is free to do so after 2030 — and does nothing to stop Iran's missile exports, its activity in Syria and its support of terrorist groups.
Mr. Trump's aides, led by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, argue that the effort to route around American sanctions will not work. Mr. Trump has threatened to bar companies engaged in buying Iranian oil, or other goods, from doing business in the United States. The threat has led companies to flee Tehran, sending Iran's currency plummeting.
British and French officials say it is possible Mr. Trump will prevail, with European firms from Airbus to Total, the French oil giant, already canceling billions of dollars of investment in Iran in anticipation of the additional American sanctions.
Two weeks ago, Brian Hook, the State Department envoy for Iran, said the United States was seeking "the new deal that we hope to be able to sign with Iran, and it will not be a personal agreement between two governments like the last one; we seek a treaty."
Mr. Zarif, who is American-educated and has a deep interest in the workings of United States politics, seemed on Saturday to have no interest in such a deal. He conceded that Mr. Trump may win the opening rounds of what has essentially become a litmus test of whether countries will follow the president's confrontational approach.
He and the country's president, Hassan Rouhani, have said Mr. Trump is trying to bait them into violating the accord, setting the stage for a resumption of the long-running crisis that the 2015 deal was supposed to de-escalate.
"You are just another country," he said at one point. "Just act as a normal country." Mr. Pompeo has said essentially the same about Iran.
Mr. Zarif was dismissive of Mr. Trump's escalating verbal attacks on Iran's missile sales and its support of Hezbollah, Hamas and the Syrian government of Bashar al-Assad. He laughed when asked whether the United States could bring down the current Iranian government with mounting financial pressure — a regime change strategy that Rudolph W. Giuliani, a lawyer for Mr. Trump, recently said was the real goal. (The State Department denied Mr. Giuliani's characterization.)
Nor did Mr. Zarif expect the United States to attack key Iranian facilities, he said.
"If the U.S. believed it would have succeeded in such an attack, it would have done so already," he said. (In fact, the United States has mounted an attack, using computer code to destroy Iranian centrifuges at the end of the Bush administration and the first years of the Obama administration.)
Asked about his recent conversations with Mr. Kerry, whom Mr. Trump and Mr. Pompeo have accused of undermining American foreign policy, Mr. Zarif said the messages were simple.
"What he has done is encourage us to stay in the deal," he said. As for the threats by Mr. Trump to investigate Mr. Kerry, he said: "I didn't realize you still had witch hunts going on in the United States" — a nod to one of Mr. Trump's favorite phrases about the Russia investigation.
On the subject of claims by the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, on Thursday that Iran had hidden nuclear-related components in a warehouse in Tehran, Mr. Zarif said he believed that it was a cleaning facility for Persian rugs. But he would not commit to letting inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency visit.

text: I have long been planning a NOBO through hike of the AT, as part of my post-collegiate need for adventure. My embarkation date is April 1st 2008. (I thought fools day would definitely be the best day to go). Up until very recently I had a childhood friend who was set to be my companion, but he went and did something lame like get a job. Now, I'm suddenly left without a partner only a month or so before the start of my trip. I have moderate backpacking experience, and am completely out of shape. So, I'm kind of looking for someone that can deal with a slow pace that is only optimistically dreaming of 12 miles a day. I've practically resigned myself to going it alone at this point, but I thought I'd stick a word out there and see what fate got me (if anything).

Here at funflowerfacts.com we love unusual plants, the weirder the better! This pretty little succulent fits the bill.
Aeonium tabuliforme, otherwise known as Saucer Plant or Dinner Plate Plant is the flattest plant we know of. Found in Tenerife, they grow on cliffs and other vertical rocky places where there is no chance of water standing around their roots or in their crowns. They are fairly cold tolerant and can handle temperatures just below freezing but keep in mind they are considered a tender succulent.
When growing them in your garden keep on the watch for slugs & snails as they love the Saucer Plant. Also ensure they are very well drained and planted in gritty, sandy substrate. Your best bet is too grow them in terracotta pots, this way you can bring them inside for the winter months. They are quite happy sitting on the windowsill.
Although the plant itself is very flat and low growing the flowers will grow 40-60cm's tall. The delicate yellow flowers are very pretty but keep in mind it will usually take 3 to 4 years for the Aeonium tabuliforme to come into bloom.

Delta9 Systems - Solutions
Delta9 Systems is much more than just an online retailer. We provide a host of solutions that are specifically designed to make the cannabis producer, processor, packager and retailer more efficient, more profitable, and be in compliance with state and local operating regulations. Connecting with the Delta9 network means there is no task in the garden, processing, or business operations workflow that we can't help optimize to meet your business needs.
Cannabis Traceability Systems
Traceability systems enable cannabis production and processing facilities to capture critical data at multiple points throughout the facility in order to comply with governmental reporting requirements and operate their business and workflow in the most efficient, productive and profitable manner possible. Traceability systems utilize equipment such as barcode scanners and printers, RFID readers, weigh scales, and traceability software to provide a complete system to collect data, report it to the State, and analyze it to improve workflow, manage inventory, control costs and enhance profitability.
Delta9 Systems' traceability solutions include specifying and supplying the right equipment, media and consumables that are specifically tailored to your cannabis facility's needs, requirements and workflow. And we back up everything we sell with first-class service and customer support that is unparalleled in the industry.
Cannabis Label and Tag Printing
Delta9 Systems provides complete printing systems for all of your facility's label printing needs, including printing identification labels, plant collars, tags and stakes, product tracking labels, packaging labels, and ingredient labels. We supply everything you need to print labels, including printers, blank label media, software and printer service plans.
For cannabis facilities, there is no right "one-size-fits-all" label printing solution. That's why we work with our customers to analyze their facility needs and workflow, and specify the right label printing solutions in the right locations that will maximize productivity and return on investment.
Cannabis Color Label Printing
Cannabis color label printing is a solution that is tailor-made for cannabis producers and processors. Cannabais color label printing involves special digital inkjet cannabis color label printers and special label media to print high-resolution full color cannabis labels on-demand, as you need them. The printed labels feature outstanding color and crisp lines and edges for text and barcodes. They are also resistant to abrasion, fading and exposure to moisture.
On-demand color label printing is ideal for producing professional-looking cannabis packaging labels. Cannabis professionals can easily create and print the labels they need, when they need them, without having to carry an inventory of pre-printed labels.
Cannabis Potency Measurement and Testing
Cannabis potency doesn't have to be a mystery, guess or assumption. Purpl PRO is an easy to use, affordable and crazy accurate cannabis potency measurement system. Using a simple testing device that connects vis Bluetooth to any smartphone, cannabis samples can be quickly tested on-the-spot for CBD and THC potency with lab-level accuracy.
Test as many samples as you want, and Purpl PRO provides an immediate analysis of the potency of your samples. Purpl PRO turns your mobile phone into a state-of-the-art CBD and THC potency measurement system.
Label Printing Integration For METRC
The Delta9 team has created a software solution that allows Cannabis Pros to combine the traceability label printing process required for retailers with their product packaging label printing. Upon receipt of a retail order, producer/processors can automatically import traceability information directly from METRC and print their traceability label, strain label, and product brand packaging label at one time, with all of the information on those three labels combined and contained on one label.
Operators can now quickly design and print a single label for each SKU they have that combines the individual Batch and retail barcode data required for sales on Full Color, die cut, branded media. Any data that is in your Traceability system: Potency, Cannabinoid Profiles, Terpenes, Unit Weights, can now be imported, error free directly from METRC.
This smart integration allows for each manifested order to generate print quality label templates that have the both the variable batch information for each SKU and the brand packaging design in one file that is ready for printing on-demand. Combining these three labels into one eliminates the extra material and labor cost that comes from printing and applying a branded packaging label, a strain label, and then the traceability barcode label.
Additionally, this system also enables multi-state processors to give contract designers and off-site compliance personnel access to print the same fully compliant, state-specific, batch-specific product labels. This insures brand consistency for product packaging labels, no matter what state or facility the label is printed.
Preprinted And Custom Cannabis Labels
Delta9 Systems is a world-class label manufacturer and coater, with the ability to produce just about any type of "custom" cannabis label you need for your cannabis product packaging or other needs. We can produce these "made-to-order" labels in any size, shape, material, design, number of colors, adhesive, topcoating, and quantity that you need.
The Delta9 cannabis label experts work closely with our customers in every step of the label design process, including R&D, testing, trials, scale up, production and delivery to ensure the highest quality label products with superior customer service.
Cannabis Garden Supplies
Delta9 Systems provides a number of different products that make your cannabis cultivation, packaging and retail operations a success. Our black/white "panda" growers film is used to line grow room walls, floors and ceilings of cannabis greenhouses to enhance yield and harvest. Other items such as gas flush bags, vacuum bags and two way humidity controls preserve the quality and enhance the shelf life of your cannabis products.
Delta9 Systems provides these high-quality cannabis garden supplies at price points that enable cannabis pros to stretch their budget and get the most from their cultivation, processing and packaging spend.

ShoeMint, JustFab & JewelMint: Subscription Shopping Sites
An interesting recent trend are subscription shopping websites where you pay a monthly recurring fee that goes towards the cost of the pieces you select. You answer a handful of questions about your personal style and each month you receive a curated selection of pieces chosen to suit your personal style.
Over the last few years I've tried a few of these services and today I'm going to share my thoughts so that you can make the best choice for your needs! 🙂
- Cost: $79.98 a month
- Selection: Seriously cute selection of shoes & accessories – Though fewer bags than shoes. Narrowing down my choice was the hardest party, luckily they list the heel height so once I realized that I was looking at shoes I couldn't walk in for more than 3 minutes I moved on.
- Overall Impression: This site provides as a well curated collection of pieces that not only updates frequently but stays on top of fashion trends.
- Cost: $39.95 a month
- Selection: The site is pretty large and includes clothing, shoes, handbags, and jewelry. While some of the pieces didn't really strike my fancy (shoes too high, not enough material…), I've had great success with the items that I've ordered.
- Overall Impression: You'll have to hunt through the website but you'll likely find something you'll love. The heels that I ordered I got more compliments than any other pair of shoes in my closet ever have! 🙂
I got a chance to meet the ladies of JustFab while I was in Los Angeles for Lucky FABB in April so I got a chance to see the pieces in person which was great. I also got a chance to see these lovely heels in person and fell in love!
- Cost: $29.95 a month
- Selection: JewelMint has a great, great selection – Not only do you get a specialized collection based on your personal taste and purchase history, but you can also shop boutique collections, sales & other pieces available on the site.
- Overall Impression: I've actually been a client of JewelMint since 2011 and I can't recommend it highly enough. I love vintage jewelry so in general my style tends to be classic and timeless, I love gold, statement pieces, and layering bracelets – And JewelMint has never disappointed.
Have you tried any of these services or any other similar ones? If you haven't, would you try one?
MCLV Style: Animal Prints
Nothing in the world is easier and more comfortable for a Saturday full of errands than leggings and a tunic. The main pieces in this look are the definition of basic black.

{Check out outtakes from this shoot here – Just log into Facebook to view}
In order to keep the look from being boring I spiced it up with my new oversized orange+cheetah BCBG clutch, zebra print smoking flats, and a vintage elephant pendant. Cheetah, zebra, and elephant, you say? Now that's not so basic!
Are you a fan of mixing prints? What about mixing animal prints like I did here? How many different prints is too many in your opinion?
MCLV Style: Embellish Me
Fun accessories and embellished pieces are a great way to take a basic look to a new level. So next time you're putting together a nighttime look be creative and layer on the extras!

This outfit could have just been black skirt + black top but with the addition of brightly colored tights, an embellished collar, fun jewelry, and spiked heels it's a more one-of-a-kind look. But I did discover that the downside of this too-cute pleated faux leather skirt from The Limited is that it wrinkles sooooo easily. And quickly. Thus the absence of straight-on shots!
What's your favorite fun extra this Winter or the piece you're most excited to try out?
MCLV Style: Lazy Stripes
Sometimes what a girl needs is layers. And lots of them. This was a look that I threw together for a CrossFit competition a few weeks ago – The keys for that kind of day are :(1) Comfortable, (2) Easy to move in, and (3) Warm! The third ended up being especially important as the venue had a huge open door and it started raining when we first got there!

I have a confession to make. This blazer is one of the oldest {non-heirloom} pieces in my closet. My mother bought it for me SEVEN years ago when she took me on a shopping trip to equip me for interviewing and starting my first post-collegiate job. When people say "classic" or "investment piece" this, my friends, is what they're referring to!
Do you have any classic, it'll-always-be-in-style pieces in your wardrobe? What's your favorite investment piece that you've bought over the years?
MCLV Style: Lady of the Night
If you're a MCLV regular you've probably noticed that most of the personal fashion featured on my site is either work-related or geared toward daytime styling – I'm not much of a late night girl these days. My weeks are filled to the brim with stress, deadlines, To Do Lists, and social obligations, so when the weekends roll around I'm much more interested in sleeping in, running errands, and relaxing than I am in partying the night away. Clubbing, dancing, and all-night bar hopping are things of the past it would seem.
But every once in a while there's a social obligation or outing that requires dressing up and getting off my laptop for a night of fun and frivolity – And I definitely enjoy those evenings!
{You can shop similar pieces by clicking these hyperlinks: Printed Trousers – Zara, Narciso Rodriguez Sequined Top – Kohl's, Blazer – Aqua via Bloomingdale's, Clutch – Express, Ankle Strap Heels – Fendi, Skull & Spike Bracelets – Asos.com, Chainlink Bracelet – JewelMint, Star Ring – BCBG, Swarovski Crystal Ring – Gift & Elephant Pendant – Sasha Maks Vintage from her recent Holiday Trunk Show}
{You can view this outfit on both Lookbook.nu and Pose}

That being said, on occasion I relish the opportunity to enjoy a night out on the town – Whether it's a date night, a girls night out, or just dinner and drinks in the neighborhood – Sometimes it's fun to get all dressed up and enjoy some cocktails & laughs.
When I get dressed for a night out I like to pair something fun – And maybe new – With my favorite tried and true pieces. This blazer is one of my all time favorites {Aque via Bloomingdale's} and I've come to love this tank for its layering capabilities.
I'm a skirt & dress girl through-and-through but I'm absolutely mad about all of the great pants for Fall and Winter this season. Prints, brocades, plaids, lace & stripes… Are you stocking up on pants this season as well?
MCLV Style: Prim & Proper
Working in the corporate world means that my office style tends towards classic and traditional – I keep my arms covered and wear knee-length skirts or dresses 4 – 5 days a week. But just because my style is fairly formal doesn't mean I can't have fun with work fashion!

What drew me to this was the embellished empire waist, it gave the retro-silhouetted dress a little something extra. And because the waist is already so dramatic I usually skip the necklaces with this dress and just pile on bracelets and rings. Or in this case, a black faux leather bow headband – J'adore! ❤
What's the dress code in your office? Do you usually dress formally, informally, or business casual like me? Do you have a work "uniform" that you usually wear?
Fall On A Budget
At the beginning of October I shared my Fall 2012 Must Haves, which included eye-catching patterns & prints, faux leather, fun pants, tweed pieces, asymmetrical details, and the color de jour for Fall – Oxblood.
It's easy to see pictures from the Fall 2012 collections and put together a mental list of all the things you want, and then give up in frustration because you can't afford straight-from-the-runway pieces. But I'm here to tell you that we can very easily update your wardrobe for Fall without having to dip into your 401k. I promise!
I like to get one or two great new investment pieces each season – something like an updated but classic Little Black Dress, a chic new handbag, or a timeless trench – but I'll also collect a handful of fun, on-trend pieces from less expensive stores that quickly update my looks for the season. There are great stores like Zara, ASOS, H&M, and TopShop were you can find trendy, well-made pieces each season for a steal. Read on for some of my personal suggestions & recommendations as well as a collection of great articles that'll steer you in the right direction for all of your Fall 2012 needs.
- Where Do Editors Really Shop from Refinery 29 is just the sort of article that I love to read – Knowing where the most fashionable and stylish women in the fashion world shop is like being handed the keys to the kingdom! And wouldn't you know it, along with the high-end designers that you'd expect them to mention, they also list great inexpensive shopping destinations like E-bay, Target, Zara, Amazon, Madewell, J.Crew, TopShop, JewelMint, ShoeMint, and even The Salvation Army. Great news, isn't it?
- The Glitter Guide's Caitlin's Budget Buys: Fall Essentials Under $80 includes fabulous beauty & fashion finds from Target, TopShop, Old Navy, Dorothy Perkins, Christian Siriano for Payless, ASOS, L'Oreal, and Sole Society.
Another lucky break for us fashion obsessed is that more and more high-end designers have been coming out with reasonably priced collections for retailer giants like Payless, Target, and Macys.
{Long-sleeve Shirt Dress in Red Geometric Print – $40 @ Kirna Zabete for Target, Long-Sleeve Satin Blazer – $60 (on sale) @ Nicole Richie for Impulse & Racquel Side Zip Bootine – $50 @ Christian Siriano for Payless}

In addition to featuring clothing from Luckymag.com, they included other retail websites like Romwe.com, Pixiemarket.com, Urban1972.com, Levis.com, and Ulta.com.
- Two of the trends that I'm most excited for this Fall are printed pants and leather-trimmed pieces and luckily for all of us the fun website The Cheap Chica's Guide to Style featured fabulous recommendations for both trends – Geometry Class & Just The Sleeves Please. So no matter what type of fashion you're in the mood for this site has what you're looking for!

MCLV Style: Pardon My French
I fell madly in love with this sweater when I saw it online and knew that it had to be mine – Totally fun and perfect for Fall! First I tried pairing it with flirty, pleated black skirt but I ended up deciding on my favorite cropped black pants.

I wore this for my company's End Of Summer party two weeks ago. It was a great night filled with games – skee ball, bouncy houses, golf, mechanical bull, even a zip line – an open bar, lives music, tons of food, and a great view.
I have to admit that it's been a while since I wore a top that had writing across the front and I'd forgotten how nerve-wracking it is when you feel like everyone's staring at you trying to read your shirt!
How do you feel about wearing a shirt or a sweater that has writing on it?
MCLV Style: Ditzy Fox
"Are those foxes?"
"Yes. Yes they are."
Who was it that said that boys don't pay attention to women's clothing? Well maybe you just need to wear something as eye-catching as a ditzy fox sweater… 🙂

This was the perfect look for this past weekend – The sweater and velvet kept me warm while the skirt and open-toed heels gave an appropriate nod to it being an end-of-Summer weekend. Trading in my Summer brights for neutrals, browns, and blacks is a time-honored tradition for me when I'm making my Summer-to-Fall transition.
How do you adjust your daily looks when it comes to seasonal changes? Do you reorganize your closet so that you can more easily find your cold-weather pieces?
MCLV Style: New York City
New York City BABY!
As I'm sure you picked up, I was beyond excited for this trip – Seeing my best friend, attending IFBCON, and getting the chance to spend some quality time in NYC, a city that I've been having a love affaire with for years now.

When I was packing for my trip to New York I found myself in a quandary – it was going to be extremely hot and humid but I'm a fairly formal dresser. Luckily for my internal body temperature this was the first Summer that I've worn shorts since Junior High, so I packed a few pairs for the trip. But how to style them? Shorts & a tank might be an appropriate bathing suit coverup, but for walking down the streets of New York City? Definitely not!
So with that in mind I paired my exposed zipper shorts from Zara with a striped tee with a rhinestone embellished collar, tons of chunky silver jewelry, ankle strap heels, and an oversized envelope clutch. I was comfortable temperature-wise, but still felt stylish enough to strut my stuff all over Manhattan! 🙂

Did you have fun wearing shorts over the Summer? What's your favorite style of shorts to wear when the weather heats up?

A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) that is often caused by a blow to the head. These injuries can also occur when the head violently jerks back and forth, which forces the brain to crash into the skull. Although many people can fully recover from a concussion within a few weeks or months, others experience unpleasant complications as a result of their injuries. Here's a look at some of the most common complications of concussion injuries:
Post-Traumatic Seizures
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), some people experience seizures as a result of their concussion. The seizures can begin anywhere from a few days to months after the injury. Many people who develop this complication will need to take prescription medication to manage their symptoms.
Post-Concussion Syndrome
The symptoms of post-concussion syndrome can vary on a case-by-case basis. Some of the most common symptoms include headaches, anxiety, dizziness, nausea, loss of concentration, and ringing in the ears. Sadly, most people who develop this condition will continue to experience these symptoms for around three months. However, in rare cases, victims can experience the symptoms for over a year.
Second-Impact Syndrome
People who sustain a second concussion while they are still recovering from another concussion could develop second-impact syndrome. This is characterized by the rapid swelling of the brain and increase in pressure within the skull. Unfortunately, this condition can be fatal. Even when it is not fatal, it can cause a great deal of permanent brain damage.
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE)
Anyone who has suffered multiple concussions is at risk of developing chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Symptoms of this condition include memory loss, depression, impulsivity, anger, and suicidal thoughts. Even if someone is exhibiting these symptoms, they will probably not be diagnosed with CTE. This is because this condition can only be diagnosed by analyzing the brain tissue, which means it cannot be diagnosed until the victim has died.
Cognitive Impairment
Suffering a condition puts you at an increased risk of experiencing cognitive impairment later in life. This means people who have sustained concussions could have trouble retaining new information, making decisions, and concentrating as they get older.
There may not be a way to prevent these complications, but there is a way to recover compensation for them.
If you have sustained a concussion as a result of another person's negligence, contact Reisch Law Firm at once. Our personal injury attorneys know how this injury will affect your life, which is why we will go the extra mile to recover as much compensation as possible for you. Schedule a free consultation today by calling 303-291-0555 or filling out this online form.

Landmark contributor
A group of modern history enthusiasts recently marked the role of a tiny, modest schoolhouse in educating the children of freed slaves during Missouri's mandated school segregation.
More than 100 supporters of the Banneker School restoration project attended an annual fundraising breakfast Monday morning, where they celebrated ongoing efforts to restore the modest site, constructed in 1885.
The one-room schoolhouse, one of the first located west of the Mississippi River, was responsible for literacy among early area African Americans.
Program leaders recounted the history of the school as an important local landmark of the civil rights movement and told how area enthusiasts have worked to preserve the site.
Banneker School Foundation leader Carla Barksdale told those who attended that nearby Park University students participated in an early work-study program by creating masonry bricks used in the building's construction.
In a fitting tribute, the 7:30 a.m. event was held at the university's Underground Distance Learning Center. Members of the South Boulevard Singers of Park Hill South School District provided live music at the event while Jeff Ehrlich, associate professor of healthcare administration at Park University, donned period clothing while portraying George Park, founder of Parkville.
"We've got such a rich history, you can actually reach out and touch it," Barksdale told the group of the building at 31 W. 8th Street, Parkville.
Today, the schoolhouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has been named one of Missouri's Top 10 Most Endangered Historic Places. When the area outgrew the modest structure, a second, larger schoolhouse, Banneker II, was created at a different location.
Barksdale told those gathered that Lucille S. Douglass, a former teacher at Banneker II, decided the legacy of the first building was important enough to protect and she led a group to save the building during the 1980s.
In 1994, the group first purchased the then-dilapidated site and deeded the property to the Platte County Historical Society.
Douglass died in 2004, watching efforts unfold to create a museum at the site. In 2008, the group formed a non-profit organization, the Banneker School Foundation. The group's ongoing research has uncovered some surprises, including a diverse course of study, even at the first site, including music class and live performances.
Kiki Fane, vice chair of the Banneker School Foundation and Historic Site, said she "met with countless contractors who'd scratch their heads" before finding Grant Shifflett of G.S. Construction, who has restored many area buildings.
"He has the vision and experience and desire and passion," she said.
Shifflett said the project has been one of discovery, including a stove pipe and other signs that the building probably was heated using a wood-burning stove.
In an interview following the program, board secretary Judy Shafe' said the school featured only crude elements, including benches, instead of school desks, and blackboard paint on top of plaster walls instead of blackboards. She said many area teachers have expressed interest in converting the site to a living museum, where modern students can experience education as did the school's early attendees.
Adrian Singletary, a history teacher in the Park Hill School District and member of the Banneker board, told the group that he's "very passionate" about the project.
To date, the massive restoration has cost more than $53,000 and resulted in a new split shake roof, tuck-pointing of exterior brick walls and interior stone walls, a new floor joist system and sub flooring. Windows and doors will be installed during the next few months, making the building "secure, weather-tight and structurally sound," Barksdale said. Contributions collected as a result of the fundraiser were not yet available.
Lucille H. Douglass, daughter of the schoolhouse's original supporter, said her mother would be proud of the group's restoration progress.
"She'd be so amazed and grateful," she said, adding that her mother lived a very busy and involved life. She said, "she was not one to linger."

The Body Stops Here | February 26-March 31, 2019
The Body Stops Here was an exhibition prompted by an ongoing conversation between Keiko Narahashi and Sarah Peters about sculptural representations of bodies and parts of bodies. As an experiment, the artists photographed arrangements of Peters's black-patina bronze figurines and Narahashi's ceramics resembling face jugs and silhouettes. Following this impulse, the show mixes recent works by the artists and installs an expanded version of their 2014 photo shoot. View the exhibition.
Scalar | September-December 2018
Scalar featured paintings, drawings, and sculptures by artist Torkwase Dyson, known for her use of abstraction and modes of inquiry from art, architecture, and geography to explore the production of form within contemporary economic and political climates. Dyson took inspiration from the geometric and mathematic formations of the late artist and architectural designer Tony Smith, whose tenure as an instructor at the College was significant in his development as a sculptor. View the exhibition.

Gunnar Kaldewey | September 19–October 18, 2017

Meat, Chapter 3: The Maggots Will Find You | April 21–May 12, 2015
This exhibition followed Price's Meat series, inspired by a violent incident in Nicaragua in 1985 when Price was shot with a high-powered rifle in his left abdomen. This traumatic experience symbolically killed the trauma of Price's childhood. The ghosts of his traumatic childhood, the death of his mother and sister in the late 90s, and the remnants of his gunshot wound are recurring examinations in Luther's body and his body of work. This exhibition featured a brand-new series of handmade 35mm slides, the second ever exhibition of Price's little-seen sculpture work from the mid-to-late 1980s, and a series of 40 photographs from the late 80s by photographer Russell Scholl. A mini-retrospective of Luther Price's moving-image works accompanied the Usdan Exhibition.

In 2012, the New York Times wrote of Consuming Spirits: "it is a work of obsessive artisanal discipline and unfettered artistic vision. You have never seen anything like it." The Slant review called Consuming Spirits, "not only a monstrous visual achievement, but one of the most uniquely humanistic animated features of all time."
(Un)governed Spaces | October 28–December 16, 2014
A collaborative presentation assembled by artist Gregory Thielker and anthropologist Noah Coburn, (Un)governed Spaces focused on the Afghan region surrounding the U.S. military base at Bagram. The region—which has been occupied by Alexander the Great, the Soviet Union, the Taliban, and, most recently, the United States—offers a crossroads of past and present. Over the past three years, Thielker and Coburn lived, researched, and toured the region, sharing intimate conversations with locals, interviewing U.S. soldiers, sketching the bazaar and local houses, and conducting historical and ethnographic research both in Afghanistan and the United States.
Slipped Gears | September 16–October 16, 2014
Slipped Gears was a multimedia exhibition featuring the work of nine artists. It opened in Usdan Gallery on Tuesday, September 16.

The artists, many of whom have shown internationally, included Nick Hornby, Joon Oluchi Lee, Kristin Lucas, Rosa Menkman, Jaakko Pallasvuo, Katie Torn, Matias Viegener, and the collaborative duo of Birch Cooper and Brenna Murphy called MSHR. It was curated by Roddy Schrock, director of residencies and programs at Eyebeam, a leading art and technology center in Brooklyn, New York.
Abstraction: Modernist Masters From the Bennington Collection | July 2–September 3, 2014
This exhibition featured iconic abstract works from the College's collection, including works by David Smith, Helen Frankenthaler '49, Larry Poons, Hans Hofmann, and other influential figures.

Uncanny Spaces, Maddy Rosenberg (Curator) | April-May 2014
Featuring the work of Beatrice Coron, Claire Watkins, Miriam Schaer, Desirée Alvarez, Eunkang Koh, Gerhard Mantz, Jay Bolotin, Kahn + Selesnick, Lothar Osterburg, Lytle Shaw & Jimbo Blachly, Mary Ting, Sang-ah Choi, Simona Soare, and Maddy Rosenberg.
Tom Brennan–Collecting Shadows | February-March 2014
Here are photographs made without a camera, an approach that dates to the early 19th century when Fox-Talbot used the term "photogenic drawing" to describe his documents of objects from nature. Camera-less photography since Fox-Talbot has moved away from the document; this work, on the other hand, is documentary.

IT Service Management is using apps, installing software and other services from computer science. Well, of course it does. Just think of any form of technology you mostly use at your workplace your laptop, the apps/software installed on it, the printer that your entire team uses, or the option to reset your password even anytime. All these services provided by your IT team/IT Service Management.
Although the most common perception of IT Service Management among IT users (employees) is just "IT support". IT Service Management goes way beyond resolving regular issues. Your IT team is responsible for every management of these services. They might use an IT Service Management software like Fresh service to effectively manage these services.
IT Service Management
It is important for a variety of reasons. Implementing ITSM can help regularize processes through structured delivery and documentation. ITSM implementation also helps in saving costs by building a predictable IT organization. Implementing ITSM has business benefits by bringing actionable IT insights to the business that help in decision making.
Why your business needs ITSM?
It all depends upon the level of business in the sense of number of employee and the technology grip you are using to handle all this. If your business has more than a handful of employees, and if even one of you is the designated "IT guy". You're already doing ITSM in a small way. But as your business grows, you might need to bring in more mature processes to get the most benefits out of your ITSM investment.
Ways by which we can implement ITSM processes?
The way to choose the right ITSM processes is to look at what your business requirements, specifically. For instance, if you have a small IT support team that's constantly fire-fighting similar issues, it makes more sense to find the root cause and resolve it once and for all. A clear example of it would be a short storage issue. You can keep deleting data every time the hard drive maxes out. But installing a bigger hard drive is a better longer-term solution. Technology in dental care
Following should be kept in mind for IT Services Management :
- The maturity of the team:
Is your team mature enough for the adoption of ITSM processes? An organization having total of 25 people would not benefit from adopting ITSM processes until an organization with 150 people that is expanding rapidly.
- Problem statement:
What is the problem that you're trying to solve? For example if you are trying to cut down on the IT budget. This can probably done by bringing systematic processes and predictability into an IT organization.
- Framework to be adopted:
The level of framework you are looking for matters a lot. This largely depends on the problem statement. While every framework helps you achieve specific structure and predictability in varying capacity, the processes they employ are different from each other according to problem statement.

Most of you probably know by now what our film is about, but we wanted to give you more of an actual taste by letting you read some of the script. Written by director Emilie McDonald, "Crossing the River" is an emotional and probing look into the lives of two young boys who commit a hate crime against a young biracial girl. This scene focuses on "Michaela," played in the film by the talented Desiree Ross, who is in a new school and doesn't really know anyone yet. It helps to show her self-consciousness and the loneliness she feels as the "new girl."
Be sure to check out our cast and crew page to read Desiree's biography!

Number one favorite type of food… GO!
Mexican. Hands down. I'll take a pinata full of quesadillas, please! What do I love about Mexican cuisine? The colors. The flavors. The chips. The cheese. How did I forget, the guac?! What's not to love?
Probably the calories. While I'll take a night out at Mi Cocina for dinner any day of the week, it's probably not the best option for me, seeing as how I admittedly don't have much portion control when it comes to Mexican. Don't get me wrong, I do splurge on occasion. But there are times when you have to find a healthier, portioned substitute for what you love to eat.
And this. One. Rocks.
Not to mention, that making your own Mexican cuisine at home will save a wad of dollars for your rainy day fund. Or wedding fund, whichever one you have at the moment!
Before we get to these bad boys, we're gonna play the What I Ate Wednesday game! Hosted by the beautiful Jenn who just had an even more beautiful baby girl! Congrats to her. 🙂
[breakfast] the usual veggie packed scramble with whole wheat toast and a Laughing Cow on the side, this particular scramble had spinach, mushrooms, and orange bell pepper [lunch] a less picturesque version of this salad, let's blame that on the extra Feta [snack] protein shake with strawberry, frozen banana, and vanilla protein powder[dinner] layered nachos (see recipe below) *unpictured snacks* half whole wheat bagel with PB, baked sweet potatoes
Layered Nachos
- 2 yellow corn tortillas (I use Missions Super Soft version)
- 3 oz cooked chicken breast, diced
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- chili powder
- garlic salt
- 1/2 cup black beans
- 1/4 cup salsa
- 1 teaspoon chicken broth
- veggies to top
- Baked Tortilla Chips:
- Set oven to a high broil. Cut tortillas in quarters. Spray (I use an olive oil non-stick cooking spray) a baking sheet, and layer tortillas on sheet. Spray tops of tortillas if desired.
- Broil for 2-3 minutes, until sightly browned. Remove from oven to flip, and broil an additional 40-60 seconds. Remove from oven. Set aside and let cool. *Update* Best if let cool several hours, they get a better crispiness!
- Chicken:
- If you have it made, use the black bean chili chicken. I made a quick version without the black beans.
- Dice chicken and add to a sauce pan. Stir in Greek yogurt, a generous shake of chili powder (or more if desired), and a shake of garlic salt.
- Let warm, and remove from burner.
- Beans:
- This will probably make a little more than needed for one serving.
- Add black beans, salsa, and chicken broth to a blender or magic bullet. Puree thouroughly.
- Add to a small sauce pan, and heat through. Season again with chili powder and garlic salt if desired.
Courses Dinner, appetizer
Cuisine Mexican
Layer the nachos in the following order: chips, beans, chicken. Toss on veggies and eat!

L'Almanacco is a season magazine published by La Terra Trema, a collective involved in agricolture and in the defense of the environment.
Both typography (Kabel for the header and Antique Oliva + Mendoza for title and text) and black&white pictures gave the feel to be back in a rural past – this was the first focus.
The second was to have a low environmental impact: for this reason I decided to use black and one pantone and all the issue – 16 pages, is made from one industrial-format sheet only.

Many of you may remember that Nathan loves turtles. When we were travelling, he had his turtle, Flash, along with us. Unfortunately, it was really hard to keep an aquatic turtle on the road, so we left her with some friends in Pennsylvania. Needless to say, Nathan has missed having his pet turtle, so since we now have a place of our own, he took the money he had saved up and bought himself a new turtle. She is just as cute as Flash, but has a completely different personality. Nathan named her Sandy and she lives in his room with a few fish friends. Gatsby is grateful for these new friends, and he spends much of his day watching Turtle TV and trying to play with the fish…

September 1, 2018 – Welcome Gracey!
When we found out we could move out of the park, I half-jokingly asked Rob if we could get another cat once we had our own house, Much to my surprise, he said yes! Once we were pretty settled into our house, Catheryn and I went to the shelter and brought home a little kitty. She is a little Russian Blue mix and we decided to name her Gracey. (She came from the shelter as Pastellito, and that definitely had to go…)
I was amazed at how well our boy kitties accepted her. Hammy was a little grumpy about her at first, but Gatsby liked her right away. I remembered what a bully Hammy was when we first brought Gatsby home, so I really wanted a female this time around. There has not been a single cat scuffle since she arrived! She has only been with us for two weeks, but it feels as if she has been a part of our family forever!
August 27, 2018 – First High School Football Game!
On August 27, Liam played in the first game of his high school football career. And he had a blast! He played really well and had some great catches. The Hilltoppers lost the game, but they all played hard and did an amazing job. Unfortunately, their second game of the season was cancelled for weather, but they did win their third game. Their fourth game was also cancelled, so we are keeping our fingers crossed that the fifth game is played according to schedule! I guess we will find out next Monday!
August 18, 2018 – I'm 40!
Ack! I sure as heck do not feel old enough to be 40, but according to the calendar, I am! I guess 8-18-18 was a good day to venture over the hill. My family is way too good to me and they spoiled me rotten.
For the last two years, we have been growing apple trees in pots, and in the front yard of our house was an empty brick ring. Whatever had been planted there had not survived, and it seemed to me the perfect location for a tree. So on my 40th birthday, we planted one of our trees. For the first time in 8 years, we did something permanent. I guess one could say we put down roots, in more ways than one. The kids' hand-print stones from 2006 even have a new home around the base of the tree. Our little tree seems to like his new home and is doing great. Maybe next year we may even see an apple or two. 🙂
August 16, 2018 – Back to School
Despite my best efforts, I could not slow summer down, and on the 16th of August, it was time to send the kids back to school.
Liam walked out the door to his first day of high school like he had been doing it all his life. He comes home for lunch everyday, and together we watch about 20 minutes of a movie of his choice. It takes several days to get through a movie, but I really enjoy the time with him. He still loves football and dreams of playing in college and beyond. We are three weeks into the school year, and he is still putting in great effort with his classes, which is a major improvement over the last couple of years. I think he is really enjoying the high school environment.
The twins started 8th grade with sunburns from swimming earlier in the week. Luckily the peeling did not start until Friday and they had the weekend to get it over with. They were extremely grateful for that! They are both doing great. Nathan is enjoying football and Catheryn is rocking cross country. They still eat lunch together with their group of friends, which makes me happy. I love that they are still such good friends at 13. They are both doing really well in their classes and are enjoying most of their teachers.
As for me, I am slowly adjusting to them being gone again. It takes me 5 minutes to get used to them being home, and 5 weeks to get used to them being gone…
August 14, 2018 – Happy 50th Birthday, Rob!
As hard as it is to believe, Rob turned 50 back on the 14th of August! The kids and I had a blast decorating the car for him. He was not overly excited to drive it to work, but he sure was a good sport about it! It is, after all, not everyday that one turns 50, and we wanted to make sure as many people as possible could celebrate with him. And he is still talking to us, so that is a bonus! 🙂
So to Rob, Happy 50th Birthday!! We all love you so much and are grateful that we get to be a part of your journey. Here's to the next 50!!!
July 28, 2018 – My First Triathlon!
I feel a little awkward putting this on the blog, but it is something I hope to remember forever, so I thought I would share it with you. Completing a triathlon has been on my Bucket List for a long time. (Actually, an IronMan is on my list, but I had to start somewhere!) This year I really wanted to participate in one, so I signed up for the one here in town. It was a sprint distance at 12.4 mile bike, .5 mile swim, 3.1 mile run. Normally a triathlon is swim, bike, run, but since they use the aquatic center here for the swim, it was bike, swim, run.
Going into the race, I had two main fears: 1) Blowing a tire on my bike, and 2) Drowning (or at least not finishing) in the pool. I did not want my first race to be a DNF due to a flat tire, and I am not the strongest swimmer, so I was really trying to stay out of the obituaries. Luckily, I did not get a flat, nor did I drown! (Obviously, since I am sitting here sharing this with you! 🙂 )
It was an amazing experience and I am so glad I did it! I only wish now that I had not waited so long! I am trying to get Rob on board with doing one because I think he would really like it. They are challenging, but since you get to change activities, they are definitely not boring!
Rob and Liam had to run to Santa Fe the morning of the race, so they left right after I took off on my bike. The twins stayed with me and were an amazing cheering squad! They also took pictures… Waaaaaaay more than they should have!!
Afterwards, we relaxed on the grass with the other participants, and I was extremely surprised to learn that I placed 2nd in my age group! Of course, that probably means that there were only two of us, but, hey, I'll take it!
As a special treat, right after the triathlon, it was time to start moving into our new house!
Funny side note: Rob and Liam were in the backyard putting together a shed the Sunday after the triathlon. My bike was leaning up against a post and out of nowhere, my back tire blew…

Why do I have to write all of these papers in BSN Nursing School?
Effective Communication in the Nursing Profession
"I'm a nursing student! Why do I have to write all of these papers?" This question inevitably arises in every class from a frustrated student who often has not yet refined his or her writing skills. Or, how often has a more reserved student lamented about all of the classroom presentations, "What does that have to do with nursing?"
I understand. The bigger challenge then, is to convince my students of the importance…no, the absolute necessity of developing and maintaining effective communication skills, without which it would be like trying to build a bridge without the hammer, lumber, and nails. The reality is that there is simply no substitute for good communication techniques when it comes to relating with fellow humans. Professionals in health care and every other arena will achieve greater heights of success when these skills are mastered.
Effective Communication - The Nerdy Scientist
When attempting to convince a nursing student, one of my favorite strategies is the use of the "Nerdy Scientist" argument. It goes something like this: "Mary, think about a world-renowned laboratory scientist and researcher who develops a vitally important, internationally-needed vaccine. This recognized genius has worked out all of the mathematical equations and has conducted numerous laboratory experiments to correct the kinks until eventually, his or her colleagues agree that the formulation has, indeed, the potential to solve, even eradicate, a major epidemic affecting millions internationally!" After I have gripped my student's attention, I go on to suggest, "Now, Mary, of what value is all of the most remarkable intellectual brilliance in the world, all of the scholarly achievements, if one cannot put results in writing or effectively communicate this information to others?" The answer, of course, is, "It is of no value."
To be useable, information must be accessible.
How do we make information accessible? We begin by developing, refining, and maintaining excellent writing and speaking skills. Of course, not everyone is equally gifted in all areas. Some feel more comfortable speaking before strangers in a large, impersonal conference hall, than they feel chatting informally with old friends at a social mixer. There are great writers who cannot speak well, and there are great speakers who cannot write well. Many are satisfied with the extensive research they have conducted, but when asked to do a poster presentation to be shared with colleagues at a national conference, they can be found cowering in a nearby corner. And then there are others among us who love to write and speak, never feel as though the paper or speech is "finished", and still have the usual kaleidoscope of butterflies every time they go before a group. That's okay. We are all different. However, since none is exempt from having to speak with and relate to others on a daily basis, perhaps we ought to invest ourselves more fully in an effort to refine our communication.
The secret to improve your communication skills.
Do you have a true interest in your topic? Do you love the new things you learned as you researched the subject that you were asked to teach or present? Do you find it simply the most invigorating thing in the world…this learning of something new and sharing it with others?
Therein lies the secret. Choose an area about which you are curious and turn that curiosity into fascination. Finally, complete the process by taking hold of this newfound knowledge, fully immersing yourself in it, and then transforming it into a passion! If you follow these steps, I guarantee that you will become a more confident and most effective communicator!
