Shop No Further...Appy Pie is what you need.
Before Appy Pie, I was having difficulty being able to get all of our products listed so that the customers knew what we have available to purchase. With Appy Pie, that problem is solved and our revenue has increased.
The software is surprisingly easy to use and overall the features are easy to use regardless of your experience level. One of my favorite features is that it has you covered no matter of app that you are using it for. The features it offers are outstanding and there are so many features. If you find yourself in a position where you could use technical help then you are in luck with their amazing technical staff. They will walk you right the steps you need to take in a way that works for your experience level. The technical department responds quickly to emails. When it comes times for updates APPY Pie has it done in no time at all and will send you a link if you like it. You really cannot go wrong with Appy Pie
I took several minutes to try and come up with something I did not like about this software and I really could not come up with one thing.

Anyone can use this
Even the most amateur coder can have access to very powerful tools. This is truly an amazing thing they've done here. Highly recommend.
- Nice intuitive design - Minimal coding skills required - Price is great - everything is clearly explained - on the fly revisions
I took a good minute to think it over, and I don't really have many negative remarks.

Great way to get a mobile app
This is a great service and will save you thousands over a custom app if you take the time to put it together.
Appy Pie was relatively easy to setup. It gives options for publishing information and building a custom app. If you get creative with what you want to do with an app you can get a lot out of the tools it has to offer.
Setup and publishing the app is tricky. There are a lot of steps to setting up the Google and IPhone app store access and codes, BUT the Appy Pie team will get you through it if you are patient. They are easy to get on the chat service and have always solved the issue in the end.

Frustrating Waste of Time
Terrible. I'm just hoping this is a really bad learning curve. We got a fully functioning LMS (with tests, grading, certificates, surveys, videos, etc.) up and running by ourselves TWO YEARS AGO (from another site we found here on capterra) so I can't imagine an app being any harder than an LMS - but it seems this one is. I will update my review if it gets better and we actually launch something but right now it does not look good.
They answered the phone although it seems like they are having multiple conversations at one time - which often leads to confusing and bad information.
They didn't help me when they answered in the phone. It doesn't seem like anyone speaks English as a 1st language and both I and my computer engineer had a very difficult time understanding what they were saying. In fact one tech support person told me to delete some of my work (and repeatedly told me to do so), then when I wanted to add my categories back (because they should have never been deleted in the 1st place), the add button didn't work to add them back again. I tried different browsers and sent them print screens - so I'm wondering if this software works reliably. They're telling me to email them the problem when I'm already sharing print screens (and I have video) through their live chat. There is an ENORMOUS language barrier - and the features and functions of appy pie are not well described. I spent all day trying to learn what was a category and what was a listing and how to add a page in a category (or maybe it's a listing). There is no glossary with pictures and there is no "i" button next anything and their broken English makes it virtually impossible for communications. I am perturbed that they told me to have them build my site instead after they told me to delete some of my work and their buttons no longer work to add what I deleted. That seemed kind of wrong - and I wonder if anyone else was told to delete their progress and then their appy pie dashboards buttons were deactivated so they couldn't move forward again.

Appy Pie
When I had an issue using the Appy pie software, their customer support was so fast to respond to my issue, The application is so easy to operate without being a computer savvy I was able to use and understand the app at a glance because no coding is needed. I compared Appy pie pricing to other software rendering similar service in the market, Appy pie is incredibly cheaper with more options.
Appy pie doesn't have unlimited hosting plan compare to some app builder software in the market so payment is continuous for me every time my bandwidth is exhausted, aside this I think Appy pie is still my best choice for creating app for my customers.

how being a little more selfish can benefit others
I bet your thinking this title sounds completely backwards… It is really… But selfishness is a perfectly healthy quality to have (within reason). I don't know about you, but I had the words 'don't be selfish' and 'sharing is caring' drummed into me as a child and was told to share all the colours of Play Dough freely to all the other kids, I'm sure we where all scolded for doing otherwise!
With all due respect to the ones who raised us, we are now in adult life. I'm not saying we shouldn't have any regard for those around us, but there's a certain amount selfishness that plays into self-care.
On the other end of the spectrum, being purely selfless and having zero concern for yourself isn't sustainable either if you ask me. Unless you're Mother Theresa or my actual Mother… who cooks countless plant-based meals whenever I visit, despite no one else having the same dietary needs. She does it just because I'm her daughter; albeit a pain-in-the-arse!
But then utterly selfish people are just pigs! Let's be honest, we've all met someone who is completely self-obsessed and has not a care in the world for other people whatsoever. Like that that one person on holiday that drapes their beach towel across 3 sun loungers and goes back to sleep in their hotel room. Not ok my friend…
The trick is getting a balance of both. If you where in a plane crash (God forbid) you couldn't save anyone else without first putting on your own oxygen mask. Of course day-to-day life isn't that extreme, but you get where I'm going… I hope!
By all means, selfishly rush home to watch the new episode of Suits on Netflix rather than attending the work meal out. Frankly, they will thank you for having an extra bottle of Pinot Blush that the company paid for instead of your meal. It's a win-win really.
Yes, I am one of those people that will occasionally turn down a birthday night out if I'm exhausted after a long-ass week. I can relax with Lush bath bomb and a good book rather than nursing a hangover the following morning. Selfish, yes… self-care, also yes! Send a bottle of Prosecco as an RSVP and I'm sure your friend will forgive you.
Let's take the stigma away from being 'selfish'. There's absolutely nothing wrong with doing what you want, need and deserve. Not enough of us make the time for self-care, and it's about time we do just that. Allowing yourself time to sleep in an extra hour, finally spend some quality time with your other half or just doing absolutely nothing at all, will improve your attitude towards those around you for the better. Not to mention you'll be a hell of a lot happier.

Building the Right Environment to Support AI, Machine Learning and Deep Learning
The IBM mainframe turns 50 years old this month, and as part of the celebration, IBM is introducing the IBM Enterprise Cloud System, which brings cloud computing to the mainframe platform. IBM Enterprise Cloud System is based on open standards, including Linux, and can support up to 6,000 VMs on a single machine. According to Big Blue, Linux-based clouds running on mainframe infrastructure cost up to 55 percent less than those running on x86 systems.
In addition, the IBM Enterprise Cloud System also introduces a new pricing model which allows customers to pay based on their compute consumption, not based on the total capacity of the system they've deployed.

Calories are needed and required by the body cells in the correct and right amounts as they play the role of energy provision. The energy is useful for proper cell functioning and also the activities of the brain. Too much intake of foods with high levels or amounts of calories affects the body and health inversely. The effects can be devastating or even risky to health. One may suffer conditions that make life so uncomfortable, or add too much weight. Care should be taken on amounts of calories ingested. Consultations should be done with physicians or dietitians as they can provide good advice that can be useful for individuals to regulate calorie amounts they take.
Though calories provide energy to the body, the effects of taking too much are dangerous and detrimental to the body. If one takes too much calories, one is likely to add weight. If the unhealthy intake is continued, weight continues to build up in the body. A person gets the excess calories stored in their bodies. The body stores them as fats. Too much fat storage in the body is unhealthy. One may find themselves fatigued most of the time. Lack of an individual to get involved in physical activities and exercise may worsen the problem. The mobility of a person becomes difficult. One may also have problems while breathing and even while sleeping. When too many fats are stored in the body, a person can suffer from obesity. This condition is associated with a lot or several other health conditions and problems.
While women are in their stages of pregnancy, they may tend to overeat as they consider a fact that they are feeding for two people. If they do not watch the levels of calories in their diet, they are likely to suffer a health condition of Gestation Diabetes. The situation or condition may be disturbing and may especially cause complications and issues for the mother at the point or time they deliver. One suffering the condition and has complications at the delivery time may be forced to go the cesarean way for safe delivery. Babies born to women who had the condition at the time of delivery may suffer obesity as children and even in adulthood.
Too much weight or being overweight or obese has been associated and linked to the intake of too many calories into the body of the individual. Hypertension may be suffered by the individual who has obesity health problem. Type 2 Diabetes can also be a risk to those who are obese. Foods that may contain too much of the fats (saturated in nature) are thus harmful to health and the body. Diets should be balanced to avoid overeating of such foods.
Research indicates that the possibility of calorie intake in high amounts to cause cognitive impairments is high. Memory loss is also associated with excess calories in the system or the body. Older people who eat or consume foods with too much of the saturated fats reportedly suffered conditions of cognitive nature compared to those who take low levels or amounts of calories in the diets. Children who are obese from the time they are in childhood are said to have more difficulties learning and understanding in their studies compared to those that are not obese. High-calorie levels in the body of a person are thus linked to such problems as slow learning and also memory loss.
High calorie levels in the body result from the individual's behavior of including foods that contain too much or saturated fats in the diet. One may become overweight. With the continued behavior, the individual may get obese. People who are obese may not feel physically attractive. This is because some of their body parts may have more fats accumulation than the others. Too much intake of the calories or inclusion in high amounts in the diet can lead to an individual feeling physically unattractive. Other people in the locality or society may view or look at the people who are obese as unattractive. High-calorie levels may thus inversely affect one's shape and attractiveness of the body.
The many calories that a person takes have too many inverse effects. Instead of dealing with these effects, an individual especially those with issues of overeating should consider seeing a physician or a dietitian. Right and Proper meal planning should and need to be adopted to ensure that eating or feeding habits are healthy and do not lead to accumulation of fats in the body to levels that are unhealthy. When these levels are reached, one may suffer illnesses and disease.

The Calbright Model
Job-Competency TrainingTM:
Calbright College is designed to focus on careers, not credentials. Unlike other community colleges, rather than working toward an associate's degree, our adult learners work toward a job. While many community colleges offer online classes, they are still structured like traditional college courses, with specific requirements and timelines. Calbright is different. Each adult learner can start their program at any time, and work around their own schedule, at their own pace.
In every way, we meet you where you are. As a job-competency based institution, adult learners have a fast, focused and free or very low cost way to learn the skills they need for a specific job. What sets us apart from the rest?
- Adult learners move through their training at their own pace and from their own homes, or even on the go.
- Through a combination of online classes, mobile apps and apprenticeships, Calbright is designed so you can set up your learning schedule around your life schedule–which sets you up for success from the start.
- There are no set classes to attend or specific deadlines to meet, so you move through your program at your own pace.
- If you have prior experience with your subject matter, you can speed up and complete your requirements more quickly; if the subject matter is all new to you, you can take your time to master your skills.
We want you to succeed and we will give you the tools you need to make your own success.
Statewide Programs Developed with Working Adults, Unions, and Employers:
Calbright College will be online, mobile-first, and designed with both working adults and their future employers in mind. We are building our programs in partnership with our instructional teams, working adults, labor unions, and employers to ensure that our programs are structured in a manner that leads to success—for everyone involved.
While our primary focus is on supporting our adult learners in becoming successful and resilient, we begin and end our process with employers. Our instructional teams connect with real employers and get to know exactly what skills are needed for the jobs that are available. Classes are made to teach adult learners only the skills they need, and nothing they don't, so by the time they have completed their program, they will be ready for full-time employment in a well paying job with a future.
Accountability for Employment and Wage Gain:
There are many career colleges and vocational schools that offer job training and certifications, but they often charge high fees and with no guarantee of employment upon completion. Calbright is different. We have the opportunity to do something no other college has been held accountable to do: to demonstrate wage and employment gain for our graduates.
We partner directly with organizations and set up paid apprenticeships prior to employment, so that by the time adult learners have completed their program, they will have a clear understanding of exactly what they'll be doing in their new role.
The State was very clear in setting our unique accountability standards and we intend to hold ourselves accountable. Every Californian and our legislators have the ability to hold us accountable, too. It is with these standards in mind that we intend to offer a full range of supportive and learning services to our adult learners, from pre-enrollment to post-employment, to ensure they get and keep the better-paying, upwardly-mobile jobs for which they have been prepared.
We are grateful for the opportunity to help make upward mobility a reality for all Californians and are committed to our adult learners' success even after they leave our programs.
What does it mean to be deeply user-centered and equity-centered?
At Calbright, we meet people where they're at and tailor educational experiences to work for each person's specific needs. We're teaching people how to learn new skills, and to learn how to always be learning. We're designing Calbright College as fully centered around the needs of real adult learners and hiring managers, creating programs that will have a measurable and positive impact on their lives. Our model is one built on a foundation of empathy and equity.
Calbright's focus on equity means we're building outward from within a community to creatively solve problems. It starts with Equity Advisors — those who identify with a specific social group like working mothers or formerly incarcerated men — who lead feedback sessions with other people like them on our behalf. For example, a working mother would lead a group with other working mothers, or a formerly incarcerated man would have conversations with other formerly incarcerated men. We want to create our programs alongside the people we aim to serve, with open and honest communication so we can set accessible, attainable goals.

makeH6213 you a gravenH6459 image, the similitudeH8544 of anyH3605 figure,H5566 the likenessH8403 of maleH2145 orH176 female,H5347 17 The likenessH8403 of anyH3605 beastH929 that is onH5921 the earth,H776 the likenessH8403 of anyH3605 wingedH3671 fowlH6833 that fliesH5774 in the air,H8064 18 The likenessH8403 of anyH3605 thing that creepsH7430 onH5921 the ground,H127 the likenessH8403 of anyH3605 fishH1710 that is in the watersH4325 beneathH8478 the earth:H776 19 And lestH6435 you liftH5375 up your eyesH5869 to heaven,H8064 and when you seeH7200 the sun,H8121 and the moon,H3394 and the stars,H3556 even allH3605 the hostH6635 of heaven,H8064 should be drivenH5080 to worshipH7812 them, and serveH5647 them, whichH834 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 has dividedH2505 to allH3605 nationsH5971 underH8478 the wholeH3605 heaven.H8064 20 But the LORDH3068 has takenH3947 you, and broughtH3318 you forthH3318 out of the ironH1270 furnace,H3564 even out of Egypt,H4714 to be to him a peopleH5971 of inheritance,H5159 as you are thisH2088 day.H3117 21 Furthermore the LORDH3068 was angryH599 with me for your sakes,H1697 and sworeH7650 that I should not goH5674 overH5674 Jordan,H3383 and that I should not goH935 in to that goodH2896 land,H776 whichH834 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 givesH5414 you for an inheritance:H5159 22 But I must dieH4191 in thisH2088 land,H776 I must not goH5674 overH5674 Jordan:H3383 but you shall goH5674 over,H5674 and possessH3423 that goodH2896 land.H776 23 Take heedH8104 to yourselves, lestH6435 you forgetH7911 the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 your God,H430 whichH834 he made with you, and makeH6213 you a gravenH6459 image, or the likenessH8544 of anyH3605 thing, whichH834 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 has forbiddenH6680 you. 24 For the LORDH3068 your GodH430 is a consumingH398 fire,H784 even a jealousH7067 God.H410 25 WhenH3588 you shall begetH3205 children,H1121 and children's children,H1121 and you shall have remainedH3462 long in the land,H776 and shall corruptH7843 yourselves, and makeH6213 a gravenH6459 image, or the likenessH8544 of anyH3605 thing, and shall doH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 your God,H430 to provoke him to anger:H3707 26 I callH5749 heavenH8064 and earthH776 to witnessH5749 against you this day,H3117 that you shall soonH4116 utterly perishH6 from offH5921 the landH776 whereuntoH834 you goH5674 overH5674 JordanH3383 to possessH3423 it; you shall not prolongH748 your daysH3117 on it, but shall utterly be destroyed.H8045 27 And the LORDH3068 shall scatterH6327 you among the nations,H5971 and you shall be leftH7604 fewH4962 in numberH4557 among the heathen,H1471 whereH834 H8033 the LORDH3068 shall leadH5090 you. 28 And thereH8033 you shall serveH5647 gods,H430 the workH4639 of men'sH120 hands,H3027 woodH6086 and stone,H68 whichH834 neitherH3808 see,H7200 norH3808 hear,H8085 norH3808 eat,H398 norH3808 smell.H7306 29 But if from thereH8033 you shall seekH1245 the LORDH3068 your God,H430 you shall findH4672 him, ifH3588 you seekH1875 him with allH3605 your heartH3824 and with allH3605 your soul.H5315 30 When you are in tribulation,H6862 and allH3605 theseH428 thingsH1697 are comeH4672 on you, even in the latterH319 days,H3117 if you turnH7725 to the LORDH3068 your God,H430 and shall be obedientH8085 to his voice;H6963 31 (For the LORDH3068 your GodH430 is a mercifulH7349 God;H410) he will not forsakeH7503 you, neitherH3808 destroyH7843 you, norH3808 forgetH7911 the covenantH1285 of your fathersH1 whichH834 he sworeH7650 to them. 32 For askH7592 nowH4994 of the daysH3117 that are past,H7223 whichH834 were beforeH6440 you, sinceH4480 the dayH3117 that GodH430 createdH1254 manH120 on the earth,H776 and ask from the one sideH7097 of heavenH8064 to the other, whether there has beenH1961 any such thing as thisH2088 greatH1419 thingH1697 is, orH176 has been heardH8085 likeH3644 it? 33 Did ever peopleH5971 hearH8085 the voiceH6963 of GodH430 speakingH1696 out of the middleH8432 of the fire,H784 as you have heard,H8085 and live?H2421 34 OrH176 has GodH430 assayedH5254 to goH935 and takeH3947 him a nationH1471 from the middleH7130 of another nation,H1471 by temptations,H4531 by signs,H226 and by wonders,H4159 and by war,H4421 and by a mightyH2389 hand,H3027 and by a stretchedH5186 out arm,H2220 and by greatH1419 terrors,H4172 according to allH3605 that the LORDH3068 your GodH430 didH6213 for you in EgyptH4714 before your eyes?H5869 35 To you it was showed,H7200 that you might knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 he is God;H430 there is noneH369 elseH5750 besideH905 him. 36 Out of heavenH8064 he made you to hearH8085 his voice,H6963 that he might instructH3256 you: and on earthH776 he showedH7200 you his greatH1419 fire;H784 and you heardH8085 his wordsH1697 out of the middleH8432 of the fire.H784 37 And becauseH8478 H3588 he lovedH157 your fathers,H1 therefore he choseH977 their seedH2233 afterH310 them, and broughtH3318 you out in his sightH6440 with his mightyH1419 powerH3581 out of Egypt;H4714 38 To driveH3423 out nationsH1471 from beforeH6440 you greaterH1419 and mightierH6099 than you are, to bringH935 you in, to giveH5414 you their landH776 for an inheritance,H5159 as it is thisH2088 day.H3117 39 KnowH3045 therefore this day,H3117 and considerH7725 it in your heart,H3824 that the LORDH3068 he is GodH430 in heavenH8064 above,H4605 and on the earthH776 beneath:H8478 there is noneH369 else.H5750 40 You shall keepH8104 therefore his statutes,H2706 and his commandments,H4687 whichH834 I commandH6680 you this day,H3117 that it may go wellH3190 with you, and with your childrenH1121 afterH310 you, and that you may prolongH748 your daysH3117 on the earth,H127 whichH834 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 givesH5414 you, for ever.H3605 H3117 41 ThenH227 MosesH4872 severedH914 threeH7969 citiesH5892 onH5921 this sideH5676 JordanH3383 toward the sunH8121 rise;H4217 42 That the slayerH7523 might fleeH5127 thither,H8033 whichH834 should killH7523 his neighborH7453 unawares,H1097 H1847 and hatedH8130 him not in timesH8543 past;H8032 and that fleeingH5127 to oneH259 of theseH411 citiesH5892 he might live:H2425 43 Namely, BezerH1221 in the wilderness,H4057 in the plainH4334 country,H776 of the Reubenites;H7206 and RamothH7216 in Gilead,H1568 of the Gadites;H1425 and GolanH1474 in Bashan,H1316 of the Manassites.H4520 44 And thisH2063 is the lawH8451 whichH834 MosesH4872 setH7760 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of Israel:H3478 45 TheseH428 are the testimonies,H5713 and the statutes,H2706 and the judgments,H4941 whichH834 MosesH4872 spokeH1696 to the childrenH1121 of Israel,H3478 after they cameH3318 forthH3318 out of Egypt.H4714 46 OnH5921 this sideH5676 Jordan,H3383 in the valleyH1516 overH4136 againstH4136 Bethpeor,H1047 in the landH776 of SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the Amorites,H567 whoH834 dwelledH3427 at Heshbon,H2809 whomH834 MosesH4872 and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 smote,H5221 after they were comeH3318 forthH3318 out of Egypt:H4714 47 And they possessedH3423 his land,H776 and the landH776 of OgH5747 kingH4428 of Bashan,H1316 twoH8147 kingsH4428 of the Amorites,H567 whichH834 were onH5921 this sideH5676 JordanH3383 toward the sunH8121 rise;H4217 48 From Aroer,H6177 whichH834 is by the bankH8193 of the riverH5158 Arnon,H769 even to mountH2022 Sion,H7865 whichH1931 is Hermon,H2768 49 And allH3605 the plainH6160 onH5921 this sideH5676 JordanH3383 eastward,H4217 even to the seaH3220 of the plain,H6160 underH8478 the springsH794 of

My sense of time is all out of whack. I blame the super moon. Happy New Year! I am bubbling over with excitement for this year! Why, you ask? (To quote Empire Records) "Who knows where thoughts come from. They just appear."
Perhaps it is the NEWness of it or that I can see where we came from and the distance is growing! Last year was emotional and bumpy. Obstacles, set backs, and universe driven surprise attacks kept us so busy I barely felt the year dissolve. The last three weeks of December were real nail biters (the unexpected lurking around every turn) that walking away victorious over all of that has put me in a semi-euphoric state. I believe we may make it yet!
Yes! 2018 - BIG transitions are on the horizon and we look forward to forging into uncharted territory with you!

When I checked in to Haggard's RV Park a few days ago I couldn't believe how lucky I was. Because not only is it a nice place to stay, but when I was telling the owners, Nancy and Matt Fetty, that I was here to pick up my new Yamaha WR450, and explained that I needed to have a motorcycle rack built and welded to the back of my Arctic Fox fifth wheel. I asked them if they knew of a welding shop in the area that could do that. And Matt said said I sure do, mine!
I couldn't believe my luck! Matt took me into the RV storage area and showed me an old motorcycle rack that he had laying there and said he could weld some receivers to the frame of my Arctic Fox and put this rack right in them.
He took some measurements of the Arctic Fox frame and is getting some material to cross brace and strengthen the frame at the back of the trailer. And some time this week I'm going to pull the Arctic Fox to Pueblo where his shop is and have the job done.
Once the welding is all finished the old rack will need to be cleaned and painted. Matt is checking on a place in town that can sandblast and powder coat it, and if that's not too expensive I'll have that done, but if it cost too much it will just be me, sandpaper, and a rattle can.

I came across an interesting article this week on apps that help you control your use of apps – and other digital distractions! Have you ever thought about how much of your day is spent on a screen? Most of us think that it's not much, and yet we keep our phones at the ready in outside pockets, our kindle sits on the desk waiting for break time and a good read, and the laptops are there when we quickly want to know the difference between Instagram and Snapchat. Now, if we are so enamored with our devices, what about the kids?
I recently gave a talk titled "Reducing Kid's Screen Time … Without the Battle," to a group of parents who were quite frustrated with trying to handle their kid's use of technology. I divided the talk into two parts because I felt that there were two distinct areas that had to be considered.
Part One: Your Relationship with Your Kids
Part One included spending a lot of time talking about Your Relationship With Your Kids, i.e. Who is in Charge? I reminded them that ultimately it is the parent's job … to parent. I suggested they give themselves a little test and try being the objective person who looks in on the family dynamic, and then answer that question: Who is in Charge?
Regardless of the whining or the reasoning or the quality of the tantrum, it is the parent who has the power over both the child and the device. I shared a few basic rules that I feel are important when dealing with kids and technology. They are simple and straightforward.
1 – Give kids a 10 minute warning before unplugging (and let them keep the timer)
2 – No technology use in the bedroom
3 – No technology use in the car (except long-distance car trips)
4 – No technology use during meals
5 – Devices must be turned off 30 minutes before bedtime
6 – Parents control the central charging station – often the kitchen
Part 2: Your Relationship with Technology
Now I think you see where I'm going with Part Two in the challenge of reducing kid's screen time, The Relationship With Yourself. This is a very important part of the dynamic because children are copycats, and you are their ROLE MODEL. Whether you signed up for that job or not, you're it.
This is where awkward comes in. We all love our devices. We defend them as time savers, gold mines of research, our link to friends and family, and so much more. We often deny that we use them 'that much,' and we even get mad at store clerks and receptionists who are checking their email and Facebook. In fact, I'll bet that you would be truly surprised to find out how much time in a day you actually spend in front of a screen.
Because I want you to realize how your day is spent, and because I want to remind you that you are your child's role model, and because I think that we all need to make more time to interact with each other, I offer this article. Become familiar with apps like StayFocusd, Momentum., and RescueTime. I intend to. The more you are in control of your own screen time activities, the more time you will have for your family.
Now, go play with your kids.

It pains me to have to resurrect the oft-repeated "getting my ex- back" issue, especially having since written an e-book product exclusively about that, coupled with quite a number of extensive articles on "how to get your ex back".
Furthermore, the most commented and read articles on this website pertain to getting the ex back, which goes to show how popular this topic is.
Before I touch on this briefly, I just want to put it out there that getting an ex back shouldn't become any guy's sole or prime mission in regards to an ex.
PUA guru, RSD Owen, said it best: "Trying to get back with an ex-girlfriend is like a dirty high and being addicted to pain".
A better move would be to simply move on, since there are way more fish in the sea than the ones who bit the shit out of you.
In any case, guys still want their ex back. And coaching guys on how to do this is 1 of my forté in the game.
This short post however, isn't an extensive how-to guide on getting your ex back.
You can purchase my product, Get your ex Back, if you want a sprawling-strategic guide on every aspect conceivable in how to get an ex back.
What I will share with you in this post, is arguably the most crucial tip in how to get your ex chasing you again, and wanting to get back with you.
Which tip is this?
Do Cool Shit!
That's it!
Do cooler shit than you were once accustomed to doing when you were with you ex-girlfriend.
People who once cheered and facilitated your downfall (like an ex), don't particularly like to see you thrive, progress and succeed in life.
A guy who's been dumped for instance, becomes a wreck or a slouch once he's faced with singledom again.
He no longer has a zest for life.
His routine (just as it was before) becomes work, home and television.
This is HIGHLY UNATTRACTIVE!
No ex-girlfriend is going to salivate at the thought of getting back with a loser, slouch couch-potato guy such as yourself, someone whose only passions in life were her and the bowl of potato chips in front of him as he preps himself for a night of Football.
This is attraction-killing on overdrive, which speaks volumes as to why the guy got dumped in the first place!
After a breakup, most guys (women too go through a more manageable phase of this) understandably go through a slump.
Either they stagnate or regress to a worse state. And because this is highly unattractive behavior on the part of a man (slumping and doing nothing), women get turned off, and exes prefer to remain exes.
If you're a guy who's trying to get his ex-girlfriend back, you must firstly create a positive impression by doing interesting and cool shit!
By "cool shit", I don't mean parachuting from an airplane or the Golden Gate bridge.
I simply mean to embark on a journey of newness: new hobbies, new activities, career changes, new haircut, new style, a new look, etc.
Anything different or new will be classified as "new shit"…apart from something obviously lame such as becoming a monk, born-again-virgin (celibate) or anything such as those.
All in all: you have to give the girl a frikkin' reason to want to get back with you.
Begging her to get back with you will not fucking cut it!
You're just showing her that you're weak, crushed, castrated and less of a man.
Show her (indirectly) that you are capable of living without her.
That is the first and most significant step in getting an ex to chase you.
She won't chase you unless she sees a lifestyle shift.
I speak more (tactically) about this in Get your ex Back.
I show you how to simply and craftily give your ex the impression that you are cooler without her, which will in effect, force her to chase you.

The Cambridge MPhil is split into Part I and Part II.
Part I
Each of three modules in Michaelmas and Lent (one Compulsory Core, and two Options) will require a 3,000-4,000 words essay (or equivalent), which may be under timed conditions.
Each will count toward 10% of the final degree mark, for a total of 30%. Taken together, these are Part I, and students must receive passing marks in order to move to Part II.
Students will also prepare a 4,000-word dissertation proposal essay due early in the Easter Term. This is assessed on a Pass/Fail basis but where a student fails the essay it must be compensated with a mark of at least 63% in the dissertation. Students will meet with their Supervisor to discuss the essay and get feedback in preparation for the dissertation.
Part II
The thesis is Part II of the MPhil in Economic and Social History.
All students will submit a thesis of 15,000-20,000 words in mid-August, worth 70% of the overall mark.
At the discretion of the Examiners the examination may include an oral examination on the thesis and on the general field of knowledge within which it falls.
Practical assessment
All students will present their work at least once during the academic year and will receive feedback from academics and peers on their work-in-progress. This is not an assessed element of the course but is a valuable feedback tool for the dissertation.
Students are also required to pass the Social Sciences Research Methods courses, and may be required to take a practical assessment as part of these courses.

GM CEO Rick Wagoner, all about currying "love ya" points with the massive network of GM dealerships, just dropped the following letter about a little shake-up hitting the RenCen. Specifically Troy Clarke, the prez of the growing GM Asia Pacific division since 2004 will be moving over to the not-so-much-growing GM North America division to head the stuck-but-maybe-turning-around team at the RenCen. Sounds like fun — especially cause Rick's been running the whole show by himself for months now. Sounds to us like a fun job — moving over to take over the crown-jewel, all with Rick watching from the floor above. Sounds like a total blast. The full letter's below the jump:
GM Leadership Announcement
May 30, 2006
GM Dealers,
Today, I am announcing that Troy Clarke is appointed president of GM North America and GM group vice president, effective July 1. Troy has been president of GM Asia Pacific since 2004.
Over the past year, we have reached several significant milestones in our GMNA turnaround plan. This is the right time to turn the region's day-to-day operations over to Troy, who has the experience and skills to help lead the GMNA team as it continues this unprecedented restructuring. Troy has a track record of success in general management, manufacturing, and labor relations in the United States and globally, which will be invaluable in his new assignment.
As background, Troy joined GM's Pontiac division in 1973, and held several engineering and manufacturing assignments there. He was named director of manufacturing for GM de Mexico in 1997, and president and managing director in 1998, when he also became a corporate vice president. In 2001, Troy was appointed vice president of labor relations in Detroit, and he became group vice president of manufacturing and labor relations in 2002. He served as GM's chief negotiator during the 2003 labor negotiations in North America, prior to his post at GM Asia Pacific.
Be assured that I and the other members of the GM senior leadership team will continue to be actively involved in executing the next key steps in the North America turnaround plan, including a successful resolution of the Delphi reorganization; completion of the accelerated attrition and capacity-reduction programs, and achievement of the $7 billion structural cost-reduction target; flawless launches of key new cars, trucks and advanced technologies; and ongoing refinement and acceleration of GM's brand and product-focused marketing strategies.
As always, we appreciate your partnership and support.
Rick Wagoner

A Giveaway of TWO 2020 Releases
Over on my regular blog, Sylvia Liu Land, I wrote about my good news in 2019 (landing an amazing agent, a published poem, and a middle grade book deal): 2019 Wrap Up: Book News and a Giveaway of 2020 Releases. To celebrate, I'm giving away a choice of TWO of the above highly-anticipated 2020 releases (PB, MG, and YA). Check out that link to enter to win, or you can also use this Rafflecopter widget below.
My critique and Kidlit411 partner Elaine Kiely Kearns's picture book, NOAH NOASAURUS, illustrated by Colin Jack (Albert Whitman) debuts on April 1. As part of the marketing effort, I made her book trailer using software that comes pre-installed on any Mac. This is the trailer that we made:
For those of you who are enterprising and don't mind putting in a bit of time, you too can make your own picture book trailer using iMovie and Keynote (the Apple version of Powerpoint). You'll also need some familiarity with Photoshop or your illustrator's help. Briefly, this is the process:
How to Make a Book Trailer using Apple Software & Photoshop
1. Write a script. Elaine wrote the script for the trailer after studying a bunch of other trailers and figuring out what works. She sent me the text and suggested accompanying images. Her script was so awesome that I didn't change a thing.
2. Compile a rough trailer in iMovie.
Keynote is Apple's version of Powerpoint that comes installed in Macs. For the images you want to animate, do the following:
That's it.
I learned how to make a trailer when my book, A MORNING WITH GRANDPA, illustrated by Christina Forshay (Lee & Low Books 2016) came out. At the time, Christina learned how to animate in Keynote and we worked together to create our trailer. We used a slightly more complicated way to animate (importing just the animated character sequence into iMovie while using the still image in iMovie as the background). This was our trailer:
Let me know if you have any questions. If you're handy with Photoshop, iMovie, and Keynote, it's gratifying to make your own book trailer.
Don't forget to buy Elaine's book at Indiebound, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Book Depository (free worldwide shipping)!
Last year, my New Year's resolution was to (1) declutter and simplify my house (getting ahead of the Marie Kondo curve, at least in intentions) and (2) focus on writing and illustrating, specifically finishing and querying my MG novel.
I totally failed in the first but completed the second. I am now represented by Jennifer March Soloway of the Andrea Brown Literary Agency, a dream come true! I am so thrilled and honored she is my agent.
One day, I'll write a How I Got My Agent post, but now I'll get right to my 2019 resolutions:
1) Revise my MG novel so we can go on submissions.
2) Finish drafting my next novel project that has been in the works for several years.
3) Build up my email newsletter. To that end, if you're interested, please sign up for my newsletter which will include news about my creative efforts plus good links and general recommendations (today I sent out one with my favorite books and TV shows from 2018). Here's the sign up form.
3) I hope to remain as present as possible with my family and stay accident -free, especially on my left side. Last August, I had a freak kitchen knife to toe accident that severed a tendon resulting in surgery and I ended the year with a sprained knee from skiing. Yeah. I now have an impressive collection of boots, braces, and crutches.
4) I hope to achieve a balance between caring/raging about what's going on and working productively. 2017 was a full-rage year while 2018 was much more productive. I realize how privileged I am to be able to mute the news every once in awhile, but 2019 will be continue to be a dangerous year for our democratic institutions.
What about you? What's on your plate for 2019? What's your motivating word or phrase?
Mine will be ONWARD AND UPWARD.
2018 was another great year for my creative communities. I'm always blown away by how generous my writing friends are. Here are some of the awesome people I've connected with on my writing journey this year (and some of their super cool books coming out in 2019!):
1. MY PICTURE BOOK CRITIQUE GROUP, with 3 picture books coming out in 2019
Going on our sixth year, my picture book critique group, the Penguin Posse, started out as a group of unpublished and un-agented authors. By the end of next year, almost all of us will have agents or books out. I'm so psyched for these 2019 releases:
Elaine Kiely Kearns, her debut PB, NOAH NOASAURUS, illustrated by Colin Jack (Albert Whitman, April 1, 2019)
Teresa Robeson, her debut PB, QUEEN OF PHYSICS, illustrated by Rebecca Huang (Sterling, Fall 2019)
Reneé LaTulippe & Sylvia Liu, our poems in THANKU: POEMS OF GRATITUDE, edited by Miranda Paul & illustrated by Marlena Myles (Lerner/Millbrook, Fall 2019) (both Reneé and I have poems in this anthology. I definitely have imposter syndrome being a part of this lineup: Jane Yolen, Young People's Poet Laureate Margarita Engle, and others!)
This year, I workshopped my MG novel at The Muse Writers Center, a writing center in Norfolk, VA, where I take classes as well as teach a picture book class. One workshop was led by Ellen Bryson (The Transformation of Bartholomew Fortuno) before she moved to Paris, and my current one is led by Lydia Netzer (How to Tell Toledo From the Night Sky, Shine Shine Shine).
My wonderful critique partners from these workshops include: Hannah Capin, Jessica Grace Kelley, Chris Braig, Kim Engebrigsten, Bernadette Bartlett, Elaine Panneton, Lauren Fobbs Brittany Page, Michelle Ross, Sarah Hill, and Suzanne Burns. A special shoutout to Hannah and Jessica who've read my story multiple times, having overlapped in both workshops.
I can't wait to own Hannah Capin's forthcoming book, THE DEAD QUEEN'S CLUB (Inkyard Press, Jan. 29, 2019), a re-telling of the story King Henry VIII and his wives, set in high school:
Last Spring, I was accepted as a mentee for Author Mentor Match, a program that pairs published MG and YA authors with un-agented and unpublished MG & YA authors. This was a game changer for me. I got paired with Tae Keller, MG author of The Science of Breakable Things (Random House for Young Readers, 2018).
Tae was an incredible mentor, giving me such helpful and detailed feedback in two rounds of revisions. Her first edit letter was 10 single-spaced pages, complete with graphs. With her help, I was able to significantly transform my middle grade manuscript currently on submission with agents. Everyone needs to read her debut MG novel immediately:
Another author friend I met through Author Mentor Match was Julie Abe, who also gave me great feedback on my manuscript. She had a big year, landing an agent and selling her book. Be on the lookout for her book, EVA EVERGREEN, SEMI-MAGICAL WITCH (Little Brown Children's) in 2020:
And special thanks to my writing friend Kristen Schroeder for clueing me into AMM!
In May, I attended the Big Sur in the Rockies conference, a workshop put on by Andrea Brown Literary Agency. One of my local picture book writing friends, Ginger Weddle, also went. This is a weekend where writers workshop their manuscripts with two professionals (authors, editors, or agents) in two workshops. I workshopped my MG novel with agent Jennifer March Soloway and author Melanie Crowder (The Lighthouse Between Worlds & many others). Both of these workshop leaders were amazing and I learned so much from them.
At Big Sur, I met the talented MG & PB author Kim Tomsic (The 11:11 Wish), and we have since traded critiques on our manuscripts. Her forthcoming PB, Guitar Genius: How Les Paul Engineered the Solid Body Electric Guitar and Rocked the World, illustrated by Brett Helquist (Chronicle Books, April 2019) looks great:
Another highlight: I met Julie Hedlund, founder of the picture book 12x12 Challenge, in person, for the first time since we became online friends six years ago.
A really cool thing happened this summer. One of my illustrator friends, Kathryn Ault Noble, posted sci-fi images she was playing around with. I loved the vibe so much, and I've always admired Kathryn's work, so I commissioned her to make an illustration for my work in progress novel (who said you have to wait until you're published, right?). She ended up creating this amazing piece that I'm so in love with:
I blogged about the making of this illustration: My Adventure into MG Sci-Fi: The Making of An Illustration.
Elaine and I continue to run the kid lit resource website Kidlit411. We're finishing our fifth year, and we continue to feature weekly author or illustrator interviews and share a weekly post with resource links. Managing our Facebook group of almost 7500 members is always fun & challenging. What I love about this venture is that I'm constantly meeting kid lit authors & illustrators, who inspire me.
I joined editor and author Kate Brauning's Writer's Boot Camp, a program that provides advanced writing craft tips to novelists and a community of writers. As a former editor of Entangled, Kate has a wealth of industry and editorial experience that she shares in weekly webinars and discussions.
This year, at age 84, my dad Bernard Liu became a debut author with his Chinese-language memoir, HOUSE ARREST DAYS OF ZHANG XUELIANG (People's Publishing House, 2018).
When he was growing up, from age 5 until 30, his father (my grandfather), Chief Special Agent Liu Yiguang, with the Guomingdang Secret Service, was in charge of the house arrest of the famous political prisoner, General Zhang Xueliang. Zhang was responsible for the 1936 Xi'an Incident, which marked a turning point in the Chinese Communist v. Nationalist civil war, that saved the Communist Party and changed Chinese history. In the Xi'an Incident, Zhang Xueliang kidnapped the Chinese leader Chiang Kai-shek and forced him to agree to ally with the Communists to fight Japan, instead of eliminating the Communists as he planned. Today China views Zhang Xueliang as a hero.
After Chiang Kai-shek was released, he placed his former general under house arrest for the next 50 years. For the first 25 of those years, half in mainland China (during the Sino-Japanese war in World War II and the Communist v. Nationalist civil war) and half in Taiwan (where the KMT fled), my grandfather lived with Zhang Xueliang, his wife (and later mistress), and a huge retinue of security. My dad's memoir tells the story of these house arrest years, unknown to the general public until now.
He and I are working on the English translation (hopefully to be completed in 2019). If you read Chinese, check out his book.
And through it all, my family & friends continue to support my writing and illustrating efforts, serving as beta readers and cheerleaders. My sister Vivian Liu gave me advice on the genetic science in my story, and my husband and daughters always had the most honest feedback. My college roommate Megan McDonald was another valued critique partner. She recently won the pitch session for her novel-in-progress at the Kauai Writer's Conference, so I'm looking forward to promising things for her next year!
So I've concluded that it takes a village to be an author! I look forward to much more of the same in 2019.
What creative communities are you a part of that you're grateful for?
This amazing image is created by Kathryn Ault Noble and represents a scene from my middle grade manuscript. I love it so much and want to share the story of its creation. This post is Part 1, about my end of the process. In the future, I'll post an interview with Kathryn for more insight on her creative process.
The Story
For the last year, I've been on a wild creative ride, writing a middle grade science fiction story that hits my 12-year old geeky sweet spot. After many years working on children's illustration, writing picture books and a couple of novels, everything clicked and I drafted and revised this manuscript. I got an amazing mentorship with MG author Tae Keller (go buy her book, THE SCIENCE OF BREAKABLE THINGS, immediately) through the Author Mentor Match program, did several major revisions and umpteen minor ones and completed it.
A Fortuitous Confluence of Interests
In June, while working on my revisions, my friend and talented illustrator Kathryn Ault Noble posted some super cool sci-fi work on Instagram. Images like these:
Kathryn and I have become online friends through various kid lit groups. I've seen her work over the years and always loved how she constantly explores new styles and never rests on her many laurels. She's helped me with my portfolio, we featured her on Kidlit411, and we've generally commiserated over current events.
Something about these images prompted me to reach out to Kathryn and ask if she'd be interested in doing a commissioned illustration of a scene from my novel. I wanted to see how she would apply her skills and this cool aesthetic to my story.
Luckily for me, she was in a creative head space where she was exploring her 12-year old geeky sci-fi self too. We agreed to work together.
The Adventure
I call myself an illustrator, but working with Kathryn was a master class in illustration and the creative process. We spent a lot of time sharing images and styles we liked. Our shared Dropbox folder is a visual feast of sci-fi settings, concept art, middle grade covers, and art. We both were drawn to a retro sci-fi look, probably because we both grew up reading classic sci-fi novels. She read several chapters of my book to get a feel for the story.
She sent me hundreds of images of her work (sketches, styles, etc) so we could pick a direction. After an exploratory process, she sent me some quick ideas and I sent her some crude sketches back. She spent many hours researching whether my visual ideas had any basis in engineering and physics (for example, curved maglev tracks and futuristic cities). We discussed the news of the day (the immigrant children separated from their families) in between discussions of color palettes.
I had a specific idea for the sky and cloud treatment and found one of Kathryn's old pieces that had the feel I wanted. Coincidentally (or cosmically, maybe), I went for a walk on the beach and came across this scene:
As we agreed on a direction, we each went back to our respective creative caves. The end result was the fabulous illustration above. A closer view of a slightly earlier version, cropped:
And a closer look at City Center:
My Takeaway
Sharing ideas and conversation with Kathryn as she worked on the illustration showed me the magic that happens in an ideal creative collaboration. While I provided the initial vision and some input along the way, the key thing I learned was to trust my instinct that Kathryn was the right person to bring my story to visual life and trust that her vast experience and skill set would do it justice. What I love about the creative collaborative process is that an alchemy happens, where new things come into being that wouldn't have if we'd worked on our own. I also loved how we both approached this from a purely creative angle. We weren't looking to create an image that was going to sell (though Kathryn is very cognizant of the current trends in MG art and her art is totally fresh). We wanted to please our inner 12-year old geeks.
We Don't Live in a Vacuum
Because we did this project with the backdrop of some of the most disturbing news in a year and a half of disturbing news and researching the setting yielded heartbreaking real life images of children in garbage dumps, we agreed to donate our efforts (her time, my payment). Kathryn decided to make this her annual pro bono illustration and chose the ACLU as the recipient.
I couldn't be happier with the end result and our creative journey.
I'm a children's author & illustrator writing middle grade and picture books. Inspired by oceans, krakens, cephalopods, ghost crabs & more. Updates here are re-posts from my blog, Sylvia Liu Land.

Four hundred years of Wiltshire history now available online in Swindon's libraries
Thursday, 25 May 2017
More than six million historic parish records have been digitised for the first time and can be accessed via Swindon's libraries, offering a unique insight into the history and people of Wiltshire.
Published online by Ancestry, the leader in family history and consumer genomics, in conjunction with Wiltshire Council and Swindon Borough Council, the Wiltshire Parish Registers, 1538-1916 collection details generations of baptisms, marriages and burials that took place in the local area.
Searchable by name, birth date, parish, baptism, marriage, burial date, name of spouse and name(s) of parents, these records contain vital information for anybody looking to find out more about their ancestors who lived in the county.
Spanning entire generations of families, the collections reveal that 1837, the year that Queen Victoria ascended the throne, saw both the most baptisms (7,243) and burials (5,572) documented. The oldest person buried in Wiltshire was Elizabeth Heath, who lived to 108 in Whiteparish; George II was King when Elizabeth was born in 1737 and over her lifetime she saw five different monarchs sit on the throne.
A number of famous names feature in the extensive collection. From a renowned architect to a suffragette, these include:
• Sir Christopher Wren – The architect who later designed St Paul's Cathedral was born and baptised on 10th November 1631 in the village of East Knoyle, where his family lived for the first eight years of his life. Wren was named after his father, who is listed in the baptism records as a doctor of divinity and a rector. Typical of this period, Sir Christopher was not the first child in his family with that name; the first Christopher was baptised on 22nd November 1630 but did not survive and there is no record of his burial.
• Edith Bessie New – Born to parents Frederick and Isabella and baptised on 11th July 1877 in Swindon, Edith Bessie New trained as a teacher before becoming a campaigner for the Women's Social and Political Union. Edith became an active member of the suffragette movement and in 1908, she was one of two women who chained themselves to the railings of 10 Downing Street and smashed windows, demanding votes for women.
Edith New
• William Henry Fox Talbot – One of the pioneers of modern photography, William Henry Fox Talbot was born in the adjoining county of Dorset but died in Wiltshire on 17th September 1877, aged 77. Up until his death, burial records show that Talbot had been living with his family at their ancestral home, Lacock Abbey; the collection also includes the baptism records for two of his children - Charles Henry Talbot and Matilda Talbot.
Interestingly, two local names from the collection are connected through separate but equally shocking stories relating to nearby Wiltshire pubs. Hannah Twynnoy (Twynney) was a servant at the White Lion Inn in Malmesbury and was killed by a tiger touring the country as part of an exhibition of wild animals; her entry in the parish burial register reads 'October…24th Hannah Twynney Kild by a Tygre at the white lyon'. Thomas Burry, who was the landlord of The Shepherd and Dog, is believed to have been Wiltshire's first mass murderer, according to reports that some guests at the inn were never seen again. He died aged 62 on 2nd October 1840 after he dropped dead suddenly in Urchfront.
At the start of the 16th Century, both the British government and the Church of England became particularly interested in record keeping and a 1538 Act of Parliament required ministers to document the key life events that took place across their parish. As a result of the act, the Wiltshire Parish Registers pre-date the censuses and civil registration making it a valuable resource for anybody looking to trace their ancestors back before official systems were established.
Darryl Moody, Swindon Libraries' Local Studies Librarian, said: "This is a major development in Wiltshire genealogy and local history. For the very first time, Swindon residents will be able to digitally search through millions of local parish registers stretching back through the centuries.
"We are very proud to be able to offer library members free access to this remarkable resource and hope this may tempt more people to discover more about their ancestors."
Ancestry's Senior Content Manager, Miriam Silverman, said: "The Wiltshire collection encompasses close to 400 years of county life and offers a fascinating insight into everyday rites of passage, especially for budding family historians with ancestors in the area.
"Names of national and international importance are also among the records, such as Sir Christopher Wren and Edith Bessie New, highlighting the historical significance of Wiltshire society."
Ancestry is available to use for FREE using Swindon Libraries' public computer network, along with many other resources (like Find My Past and the British Newspaper Archive).
The Local Studies team based in Swindon's Central Library are also available to help with any local history or family history/genealogy enquiries.

Short Stories
I love thinking up ideas for short fiction, then writing and re-writing. It's great to see how a story can develop and take on a life of its own after just an initial prompt of – a fleeting image or feeling, a character, an overheard conversation, a work of art, or a memory. My stories have been published in magazines and anthologies including: 'The Cinnamon Review of Short Fiction 2018′; Momaya Short Story Review 2015'; 'Wooing Mr Wickham' (Honno Press); 'The Yellow Room'; 'Woman's Weekly'; 'QWF'; 'The Lady'; 'Woman'; 'Best'.
My stories have won and been shortlisted in competitions including Momaya, The Jane Austen Short Story award, The Yellow Room, Frome Prize (shortlisted 2018).

"The Butterfly Effect"
Filmanmeldelse av "The Butterfly Effect".
|Anmeldelse (bok, film...)
|Lastet opp:
A troubled and tortured boy, Evan Treborn (Ashton Kutcher), struggles as he begins to realize that portions of memories are being purposely blocked out of his mind. When the boy comes face to face with some of his childhood fears and before the complete story is unraveled, the boy wakes up missing what happened.
Later when he is an adult, Evan is desperate to uncover why his memories were being blocked. He uses his childhood journal as a starting place as he tries desperately to unravel his mystery. Before he can stop it he finds himself being thrust into the past where he re-enters his body as a child and is able to change events that could help his childhood friends, Kayleigh (Amy Smart), Lenny (Elden Henson) and Tommy (William Lee Scott). Evan hopes to make a better future for them all as he opens the blocked memories within his own mind.
The Butterfly Effect isnt your typical time-travel film but it plays along the same principal as films before it and once more has a desperate hero much like Wells own time-traveler. Effect is interesting in the way it makes the journey so simple for the main character. He squints his eyes and reads his childhood journal and poof hes in the past. I like that its simple and that we the audience believe he can do it because of the films brilliant opening.
It is brilliant because we learn about Evan as a child and we begin to see his desperation and plight from an early age. I liked watching the child version of the character and how the filmmakers made his childhood so believable. This was by far the best part of the film.
The specific events Evan was returning to were traumatic and disturbing for the both Evan and the viewer. As the film builds, each event is more traumatic than the next. It really got hard to digest, but I still think that this is extremely well done and you are kind of left with a feeling of wow what a rush!
Then there is the problem that Kutcher seeming to have a Keanu Reeves reaction every time he returns from those events. Something like, whoa its changed. He is never fully traumatized or changed, which bothers me a little bit, but the good parts overweigh the bad parts.
There were also lots of problems with the internal logic of the film. As the film progresses, we learn that Evan can only transport back to certain events within the pages of his journal. But as the film progresses these events are traveled to out of linear-sequence. Which begs the question shouldnt some of the events he changed earlier effect the events in the time he is now visiting.
Placing the disturbing scenes aside, for once I would have liked to see him enjoy his time in the past so we as an audience can see what he is so desperate to relive.
The Butterfly Effect is a dark, desperate and a little disturbing movie, but I still think it is an excellent entry in the time-travel genre. The Butterfly Effects makes you think a little extra before you do something, and it makes you value friendship in a different way. At east thats what it did for me.
The Butterfly Effect is absolutely worth the time to watch!

Amazing Women
Taking action
For us
For our future
Six women. A billionaire coal miner. What bought these women to this fight? Read their stories and be inspired.
They travelled from across the eastern coast of Australia, thousands of kilometers to be part of the fight to stop the Adani coal mine. Each with a different story, each with different motivations, goals and hopes.
From Melbourne to Yeppon, they had travelled to make a stand. Not a noisy one mind; it took a few days, some loosening up and some moments of high stress activism before I finally got to hear their stories. Each one different and each one inspiring, I hope you enjoy this collection.
A movement is more than its 'big names', its celebrities or its iconic historical figures. It's more than the people we might see in photos, or those who become spokespeople, or those who end up with fines and criminal records. A movement requires so much more than this: it is the sum total of all the people who have participated in some way in their lives. Many of these participants do so quietly in their families, networks and communities for many years over the course of their lives. They do this in different ways, as the environmental movement is broad and unique; it encompasses those who plant trees for habitat and those who teach permaculture for food. It encompasses those who try to minimise their environmental impact at home, and those who lock themselves to bulldozers on the frontline. It encompasses people who give time and effort at some times in their live and return to it in their retirement.
These stories of women on the frontline focus on people who have sacrificed their time and security to take non-violent direct action against coal extraction. I decided to focus on these women because in my research on the environmental movement I tend to primarily come across the stories of environmental activists who have gained attention. Whether this attention is sought and desired, or whether it's granted through obligation, those with attention are more likely to get their stories told. And of course, getting attention is crucial to changing social norms and bringing about a better type of world and future.
Read their stories
Yet, behind those figures who have gained attention to the cause stands many thousands and thousands of people who have constructed, piece by piece, the story which drives issues towards the front pages of newspapers. And in the case of the Stop Adani movement ordinary people have been the bedrock on of attention on the issue. But how much attention do we pay those ordinary people themselves? How much of their stories do we know, how much of their sacrifices and drive and commitment is conveyed and acknowledged? The women in these stories demonstrate how every story is different, and that there are many paths to becoming an environmental advocate. Barriers can be overcome and unknown skills can be developed.
Through telling these stories this anthology tries to add the balance in narrative telling about the Australian environmental movement. Through granting me the right to tell their story, these women move the debate about how to save our environment out of the arena dominated by government and large non-government-organisations (NGOs). These narratives allow us to hear more than just the words of the traditional power holders within the movement. In telling and recognising the value of these stories the movement builds greater momentum. This momentum, incorporating all the voices, talents, hopes, dreams and shortcomings of each and every participant is the fundamental power source that drives social change. It is the voices of the myriad participants in the movement that make it loud, and this short volume aims to help amplify some of those less privileged stories.
The women profiled in this volume have seen the internal workings of the environmental movement, and lived the environmental advocacy experience over a wide range of years, communities, geographies and issues. They are the movement.
And yet, many of my interview subjects would not agree with that statement. Like so many women I spoke to as part of this project they denied any unique or privileged positions within the movement. There often seems to be some other type of person who represent 'the movement'. Perhaps a spokesman. Perhaps someone who was famous from the Franklin blockade. Or someone employed by a major environmental NGO.
I don't agree. The women I spoke to on the frontline, are the environmental movement. Their stories and the paths they have taken in and out of activism, in and out of conservation, and in and out of other social justice issues demonstrate the flexible and ever changing nature of something called a 'movement'. People become active for a time, for an issue, for a person, and then revert back to daily life, often for many years. This description of people who make a movement give us hope, and explain the groundswell of anger that has prompted many thousands of people to get back to activeness.
Each of the women in this volume represent a different part of what the environmental movement is to me. Just as with the women, the environmental movement represents, and is, many things to many people. The incredible range of ways we can care for our environment plays out in the stories of these women, each of which culminate in a presence or role on the frontline.

What's preventing your business from growing? Is it the wrong product, the wrong people or the wrong systems? Or is it simply poor sales?
The chances are it is not any of these but rather the fact that you are not giving your customers a good customer experience. Simply put, your customers are not happy.
In today's saturated market place, switching your loyalty from one brand to another has never been easier, as has the ability to voice discontent via social media. The customer really is king nowadays.
To stop customers switching to your competitor and to limit the amount of negative publicity your brand may gain through Facebook and Twitter, you need to create customer experiences that not only meet but also exceed your customers' expectations.
Easier said than done? Try avoiding these common mistakes which are being made across the globe and you'll reap the rewards of having happier customers:
1. Not listening to your customers
This truly is one of the biggest mistakes you can make! Some of the world's biggest names such as Virgin, Amazon and McDonalds haven't achieved their immense successes by ignoring what their customers are saying. They ask, they listen and, most importantly, they act on what their customers say. They make continuous improvements to their products, services, communications or processes to keep their customers coming back for more.
Not only do these customers spend more on your brand, but they also advocate your brand to their friends and colleagues. People trust other people's recommendations and by having your customers advocate your brand, you can reap the rewards driving revenue and growth because people hear positive stories about your products and services.
By listening to customers, you can identify unhappy customers. Armed with this information, you can contact them, listen and empathise, and potentially turn an unhappy customer into a happy one who will go on to advocate your brand rather than publically damn it.
2. Not learning from the feedback given
This one is almost worse than not listening to customers. If you ask for feedback but don't acknowledge it or act on it, customers will feel unvalued. Why should they waste their time giving their feedback when all it does is fall on deaf ears?
Today's world is more competitive than ever and information is very readily available. In order to stay competitive, you need to continually innovate, improve and adapt to the commercial world around you. And who better to tell you how to do it than your customers?
3. Not improving customer experience
The third and final thing that must not be ignored is the art of using feedback to make your customers happier. In today's technology driven world, without innovation and improvement you will quite simply fall behind your competitors.
Customers' expectations move and change. They discover some new technology or new product and they expect that from other brands. Customers want easy access to information, the ability to buy readily and easily, fast delivery, reliable products and easy returns systems.
If you are continually in touch with your customers, you will find out where you may be falling behind and will be able to rectify the issue quickly. If you delay making changes, you will lose your customers to your competitors and as everyone knows, it's much harder to win a new customer than it is to retain a current one.
More of these happier customers = more positive word of mouth = more referrals and more positive brand awareness.
If you want to grow your business, start asking for feedback, acknowledging that feedback and acting on it.
