When WhizKidsLab got in touch to see if our family would like to review their Real Bug Specimen STEM set, one member of the clan immediately sprang to mind- our Freddie! At nearly 8 years old, Freddie is really into all things science and nature, and for the past few years has had a natural interest in bugs, insects and general creepy crawlies. He devours books on them, as well as watching any TV programme featuring them, so we thought he would be the perfect candidate to try this set out.
The set features 4 real bugs, beautifully preserved in clear acrylic blocks, and comes with a mini magnifying glass, and double-sided fun fact sheet and poster.
There is also a fun snap-shut case to store the bug blocks (as Freddie calls them!) in, meaning that they're protected and that actually this turns into a pretty cool set to be able to store well or take out and about with you without them breaking.
Suitable for children aged 3 and over (but I think much older children also would really enjoy this set), the magnifying glass is easy to hold and use, and a great first, fun introduction to this instrument.
Freddie and I spent a fun-filled hour last weekend evening inspecting our insects, and F was delighted to see that a stag beetle was among them, something that we had found in our own garden a few months ago and which are pretty rare.
The poster led to conversations about different insect groups, and we worked out what groups our encased insects would be in. I actually learnt a lot as an adult, and it was a nice, stress-free way to spend some time together.
I love activities that are really educational but that don't actually feel like structured learning. Interestingly, it also supported his current school topic on Ancient Egypt, as a scarab beetle was one of the insects in our kit (the scarab beetle represented the Egyptian god Khepri, and they were/are found all over Egypt).
The blocks were just the right size for viewing the insects clearly, and Freddie liked the fact he could get a good view of the scorpion's stinger! We talked about whether or not a scorpion could still sting you if it's dead- conversations you don't imagine having pre-kids but are actually marvelous and make you think.
This set would make a fantastic stocking filler, although at £13.99 it might be a little on the pricey side for some people for this purpose, but is great value as a standalone present or purchase to have at home. It will most definitely be passed on to little Arlo when the time comes, and Sasha (6) has already had a go herself and enjoyed it!
*Thanks to WhizKidsLab for our lovely set!

This morning a whole stack of Brisbane folk converged outside the Liberal Party headquarters to protest against Howard government's inhumane and shameful policy of mandatory detention of asylum seekers.
A bunch of speakers, including Senator Bartlett and Queensland Greens refugee spokesperson Juanita Wheeler, shared their views of DIMIA's failings, government policy and the need for a Royal Commission.
Despite the cold and the wet, we proceeded to march to Kangaroo Point to celebrate World Refugee Day. It was great to march alongside families and children and older people. It was a spirited march with enough chanting to attract the attention of passersby. I loved seeing the waves and hearing the honks of those in cars passing by.
After WRD day I went to the Greens State Council meeting to catch up on Greens affairs.
A busy weekend – definitely due for a quiet one.

TEXITURA is one of the main international pattern design magazines. More than 40 years ago, the first number of the catalog premiered an explosion of graphic inspiration dedicated to prints on all kinds of surfaces. Each number gravitates around a big theme and offers different color palettes and more than 100 original vector patterns, created just for this publication.
There have been changes along the way: the big ones came in 2004, 2014 and 2018. Right now, Texitura is a jewel-book and only 50 copies are printed per number, each of them comes numbered and with a unique download key. The images that you will find inside cannot be seen anywhere else and are not for sale, they are completely confidential and all of them are perfect vector repeats that the buyer can use as he or she wishes.
Texitura was born in 1975, when trend and textile specialists María José Wynn Doménech and Pep Llorenç, with help from the Spanish Association for Textile and Fashion Designers ADIMTE, decided to launch the Mostra Textil in Barcelona, a textile fair where industrials and designers met clients interested in their services, and proposed to create a seasonal magazine where fair clients could find creations from textile designers and expert's suggestions about trends.
A few years later, TEXITURA was being sold in fairs all over the world and Mode…information, a German distribution company of considerable importance in the world of fashion, took over its distribution worldwide.
After some changes in the creative process, such as the dissolution of ADIMTE and the Mostra Textil, Maria Jose Wynn Doménech took TEXITURA's publishing by herself (1996-2006), to give the leadership to Ana Santonja Querol and the Circulo Textil TEAM, who, from 2006 onwards, have taken over, adapting TEXITURA to the current needs of the market and launching this online platform, always faithful to the goal of bringing the newest, most trendy pattern design to a few selected clients all over the world, with a special regard towards Spanish design.
Starting in 2004 the catalogs took on a nicer look, they gained in quality and a stronger feel with a more contemporary design was seeked. A dvd was included inside each book where all designs could be found in digital format, although at the beginning of this new phase the files were bitmap and their reproductions rights were very tight, so the files could be used for little or nothing.
Number 49, in 2013 brought around the vector era: from them on, all published designs had to be completely vector and a dvd with all the repeats in .ai format was included inside each book. At the same time, the reproduction rights of the designs became looser so buyer could use them with more freedom. All these changes were a consequence of the more liberal paths that the pattern design market was offering.
A big change was awaiting the Texitura website, and in 2015 we launched a new and powerful site dedicated to the marketing of prints and the exhibit of designers. There was also a Texitura box that buyer could get with all the designs and digital files belonging to the issue. The effort was momentous and the website looked beautiful but, after 3 years of trying everything, the managing team at Texitura decided that a new change was necessary. Lack of sales on the digital platform, and very few contacts between buyers and designers, made us think about how to get a more direct benefit for our designers that are, after all, our main concern.
This way, Texitura 3.0 was born, embodying a new concept where the book format is revisited. Texitura is now a jewel-book with only 50 copies to distribute around the world, and all the benefits go straight to our publishing designers. This way, we make sure our designers get some benefit, besides the honor of being published by Texitura, after a selection of an at least 10 to 1 ratio. Buyers can use as many of the more than 100 designs published exclusively on each number as they wish, since they will have access to the digital vector files, and rest assured that only 49 more copies of them exist in the world, and none are on the internet.

Kevin Gates is the closest thing to a prophet.
This song feels like one big freestyle. There really isn't much structure attached to the track, it simply features a version of Gates that is intent on letting the world know all the trials and tribulations that has went on in his life during the last couple of months through some gritty bars. On the real, the way he pieces his words together constantly gives me reminders of a couple of Pac verses.
Gates passion in his music is remarkable, but in all honesty, I would hate to hang out with this dude.

Webinar – Excel Data Validation
Price: $25.00 incl GST
Duration: 1.5 hours
Excel has a built-in Data Validation feature that you can use to limit and control the entries that go into certain cells. You can use this to make sure users comply with your input requirements.
Unfortunately the feature has one failing. Learn what it is and how to handle it.
This session will take you through some useful techniques to create flexible data validations including in-cell drop down lists, as well as how to cope with the major failing of the system.
The session covers
- setting upper and lower parameters – fixed and flexible
- creating custom error messages
- how to validate the validations and show the user when an error has been made
- creating in-cell drop down lists
- creating flexible lists that automatically expand and don't require any complicated formulas
- how to create dependent drop downs – one drop down affects the entries in a second drop down
As usual I will throw in some useful general tips along the way.

We take a look at Cuban Americans' significant influence on Washington DC.
This week Inside USA travels to Miami, Florida and Havana, Cuba to look at the disproportionate power that the Cuban American vote has over a US presidential election.
Fidel Castro may have stepped down and his younger brother Raul taking his place, but in Miami's Cuban American community, little has changed.
As an ethnic and ideological group they have carved out significant influence in Washington.
Donations to political groups and politicians are the second highest in the country, after the Jewish pro-Israel lobby.
A key achievement of all the lobbying – an economic embargo that Washington has maintained against Cuba since 1962.
The embargo was supposed to bring down the Castro government, but it has failed. The real effect of the embargo has been extreme poverty for ordinary Cubans.
The Cuban influence is not only due to financial contributions – the state of Florida is a swing state, with a large number of electoral delegates, meaning that the way a few voters behave can have a big impact in a presidential election.
This episode of Inside USA aired from Saturday, March 8, 2008.

6-8 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
3-4 carrots, peeled and chopped
1 butternut squash or other similar squash, peeled and chunked
1 large or 2 small onions, chopped
1 meaty ham bone
4 cloves of garlic
1 T. parsley
3 T. salt
1 T. ground turmeric
1 T. ground pepper
2 T. butter
1 c. heavy cream (you can use milk or half and half.)
Put all of the vegetables and the ham bone into a large pot (6-8 quart), as well as the spices and cover with water. (You can also use chicken broth.) Put on the lid and simmer for about 45 min. until everything is soft and the ham is falling off of the bone. Remove the bone and reserve. Puree everything in the pot with an immersion blender or use a food processor and return to the pot. Trust me, the immersion blender is easier. Cut away any bits of meat from the ham bone and add them back to the pot. Taste at this point and see if you need to add any more seasoning for your taste. Add the butter and the cream and stir and heat all together! This makes so much soup, I was able to freeze some and still had plenty leftover for a meal tomorrow.
Oh! And these!

Industry Group to Help Families of Cancer Patients
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
The Foundation for Financial Planning, in Washington, D.C., is launching a program that "aims to weaken the link between health crisis and financial catastrophe," writes Financial Advisor.
Grants from "Pro Bono for Cancer" will be distributed through cancer treatment centers and non-profit organizations to deliver free financial planning and advice to families of cancer patients.
The FFP has already raised $200,000 toward a $1-million fundraising goal for the grants. Jon Dauphine, executive director of the group, is working to secure additional contributions from major corporations.
Dauphiné's motivation has a personal element, he tells Financial Advisor. "My brother-in-law was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, and he was diagnosed late so he only lived for about nine months," he says. "But I saw the financial stress and strain his family lived through."
The Financial Planning Association will help line up volunteers for the volunteer planners, trained in special needs and health-care planning, to work with cancer patients and their families. A pilot program is slated for November.

Wonderful Service!
I recently visited The Claridge Hotel with my friends and was surprised with how great my time was there. Upon arrival we were greeted by the concierge, Yilver. He was incredibly friendly and willing to help. We weren't sure where to go out that night as it was a Monday. Yilver informed us of the best places to visit during our stay. He answered all of our questions happily and told us not to hesitate asking if we needed assistance with anything. He made us feel right at home… Read complete review

MOSMAN Park mayor Brett Pollock wants neighbouring Cottesloe and Peppermint Grove councils to merge their mower and truck operations into his Town's McCabe Street depot to expand resource sharing and cost cutting.
"This is part of my plan as the new mayor of Mosman Park to work co-operatively with our neighbours," Mr Pollock said.
He said it was not a move to re-ignite any talk of full council mergers, which were "off the cards", but was part of starting a "new era" of co-operation between Mosman Park, Cottesloe, Peppermint Grove and Claremont councils.
"We're just looking at the feasibility as to whether Cottesloe and Peppermint Grove could be involved in a joint depot, but would not make it bigger," he said.
He said a mower used by a council for 300 hours a year could be the same machine used by three councils 900 hours a year.
The councils already share some planning, fee paying, library and waste management services.
Cottesloe has rented a Fremantle site since it sold its Nailsworth Street depot for $9.1 million in 2013, but it restarted talks about sharing McCabe Street several months ago.
Peppermint Grove's name is new in the proposal to use McCabe Street, and president Rachel Thomas was unaware of the suggestion when contacted.
"If Brett wants to float that idea we'll have that discussion. We could be interested in exploring it," Mrs Thomas said.
She ruled out mergers because the four councils had different town planning schemes and her council wanted its own strategic direction.
However, Claremont mayor Jock Barker, whose council benefits from increased rates from public transport-orientated high-rise, said getting each of the four councils in a similar financial position would open the opportunity for mergers.
Claremont got rid of its depot and Mr Barker said there would be no interest in a shared facility because outdoor staff now operated from vans and other duties were outsourced.
Cottesloe mayor Phil Angers said he doubted his council would take on any merger discussions when it was already dealing with major projects such as the foreshore and town centre refurbishments, a skate park, bicycle paths and the depot talks.
All the councils' councillors will meet at post-election gathering at Peppermint Grove council on Thursday.

Frequent Questions
Our qualified and experienced Accredited Gold Master Electricians are happy to share their knowledge with you. Read on below to find the answers to some commonly asked questions, and if you would like to know more about any electrical service, please call us on 0434 538 616.
Can I do small electrical jobs in my house myself?
Definitely NO! It is illegal for anyone but a qualified electrician to do any Domestic wiring or house rewiring. You have no Certificate of Compliance which is bad news especially if you need to sell the property, or make an insurance claim. Did you know that one of the biggest causes of house fires is from electrical faults? It makes sense for safety to hire a qualified electrician to carry out all your household wiring. You also risk your personal safety and the safety of your family and friends.
How much money do I save changing my lights to LED? Is it worth it?
Each year, more and more people are saving energy and money by switching to energy saving LED's. The low quarterly electrical bills eventually pay for the greater investment of LED lighting installation, and increased benefits to actual energy savings. Click here to calculate the potential savings in your home from a LED lighting upgrade.
How much will my job cost? Do you do free quotes?
We do a FREE site assessment which includes a FREE quotation. We will give you a written quotation before any work will begin. We do the site assessment to ensure accurate pricing. If you decide to use us for your work, we are coming prepared knowing exactly what we are doing. 6 P's of business. PRIOR PREPARATION AND PLANNING PREVENTS POOR PERFORMANCE.
Why does my home's safety switch keep tripping?
It could be a faulty appliance. To find the culprit, unplug all your electrical appliances (particularly the fridge, dishwasher, washing machine, and dryer) and reset the circuit. Then plug the appliances back in and switch them on one at a time until you can identify the problem. If you can't reset the circuit, call us on 0434 538 616 for advice.
What is a Certificate of Compliance and why do I need one?
Electricians must issue a Certificate of Compliance to the consumer after completing any electrical work ready for the power to be connected to it. Certificates of Compliance are legal documents required under the Electricity Act 1996.
The purpose of the certificates is to:
- Enable self-certification of electrical work.
- Assure the customer that the work is installed and tested to the appropriate Australian Standard.
- Protect the electrician by confining the responsibilities to the work they have carried out.
Excellent service and highly recommended. Sorted all our issues on one day with a smile and reasonable price.
We were very impressed with the service we recently experienced using Modern Innovation Electrical. Angus turned up on time and was very quick and thorough in his approach to our requirements. The job was carried out in a minimal time frame and to our satisfaction. We have no hesitation in recommending MIE and Angus for all your electrical needs.
Angus did a great job connecting power to our new shed. He was prompt quoting for the work and upon completion messaged and sent photographs of the job. He was very polite and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

IYCPOP x Swarovski
Updated: Nov 28, 2018
On Friday 23rd November, we spent the evening celebrating Swarovski's new 'Follow The Light' SS19 collection + sponsorship of ARIAs 2018!
Below is Vogue's report on the exclusive summer rooftop party:
In association with the partnership for the 2018 ARIA Awards, the event doubled as the red carpet launch of the Follow the Light spring/summer 2019 collection, adding an additional level of glam to ARIA week. Swarovski continues its mission to make women look and feel brilliant with the launch of this collection, keeping the sunshine theme at the heart of its bright new collection. Consisting of four programmes, the collection includes: spring, Mother's Day, Valentine's Day and summer—taking inspiration from a journey across the Mediterranean, channeling a vacation mood, and celebrating the radiance and sparkle seen throughout Swarovski's rich 120-year history.
The event, themed around Follow the Light, came to life through the ultimate summer rooftop party at Paramount Recreation Club, Surry Hills. Guests were transported to a unique urban destination featuring a custom Swarovski ping pong table, a striking light installation, a Swarovski IYCPOP popsicle stand and roller girls against the Sydney city landscape. Guests were also treated to a special performance by Australian DJ act Kayex (Tom Derickx and Palassi Kailis) throughout the evening. Two bespoke cocktails and delicious canapes were served to guests before a third custom Swarovski cocktail was revealed as Anna Hua, the PR and communications manager of the brand, raised a toast to the new collection and thanked guests. Those in attendance included the likes of Tahnee Atkinson, Sammy Robinson, Alina Barlow, Scott Barlow and Alli Simpson.

Started at 8:00 a.m. With a lot of help finished at 1:00 p.m. Nine cups flour, four cups sugar, three quarters pound of butter, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, anise oil, small amount of white syrup, three eggs and some water. On the left are the hard ones and on the right are the crispy version. The recipe for the one on the left calls for twelve cups of flour. (I "halved" it.) It came from a Mennonite lady in Halstead KS and has been made in our family for at least 70 years. Thank you, Aunt Honey.
The other was found in a Mennonite cook book and varies only in texture - not taste!

Don't know about you, but the older I get, the more the CT summer heat and humidity gets to me. The secret to warding off dehydration while working outdoors is pretty simple - stay indoors during the hottest parts of the day.
I know because a few years ago I decided to reset the boards that lined my gravel driveway in the middle of a hot August day. I did the dumbest thing possible - no water, no breaks, and tried to get it done as quickly as possible. The result - a monster headache followed by the worst stomach cramps known to woman (equal in intensity to child labor). It's called sunstroke. It took a few days to recover from that mistake!
If you insist on walking, biking, swimming, going to the lake or beach, or working outdoors, please follow these common sense suggestions:
- Drink water before, during, and after the activity. Do not go outdoors without a sufficient supply of water.
- Wear sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat.
- Do the activity in the early morning or early evening when it's not as hot.
- Take frequent breaks and get out of the sun into a shady area.

Moo Moo's Signatures has their release planned for September 9 so let's see what shades are going to be available in a couple of days. There will be more shades to choose from which are exclusives or special edition. If you're interested to see them too, please visit the brand's website for more information and swatches.
Shadow of Cleopatra
The first polish I want to show you is a dusty blue grey with gold to green duochrome shimmer. I was surprised to see the word «blue» in the description because I don't see any blue tones on me but maybe it is just there as an indication that this polish doesn't lean taupe as some greys do. It can be a bit streaky so the best approach for me is to do thin coats without loading the brush with the polish. I did two coats for my pictures.
Sunrise On Mars
The second shade is a flaming orange holo with silver shimmer, green to red tiny flakes and orange to gold shimmer. It covers easily in two coats for me but I can see where it potentially might need three coats if you have loner nails. It is a very autumn-appropriate shade and I'm so ready for those type of colours that I find this polish to be very pretty 🙂
A Different Molly
The next shade is described as a light grey holo with rose pink tiny flakes, black tiny flakes, silver flakes and holo flakes. This polish is a revamped version of Molly Moo which isn't available anymore. I'll take a speckled polish every day of the year so of course I'm in love with this one. This shade is sprinkled with some pink flakes which look absolutely adorable. They are just glimpses of pink and I really appreciate that, I love those little details in my polishes. I did two coats for my nails except my middle finger — I had to use three coats there.
This one is described as a silver holo with sterling silver shimmer and lots of tiny flakies in gold, green, blue, purple and pink. This is a revamped version of the previously released Diamond which isn't available anymore. I haven't tried the old version but the new one applies well and only took two coats to get opaque.
There is also a duo that will be available to purchase which consists of a beautiful topper and an undie crelly polish to use as a base. Both shades can be worn alone but I find them to be absolutely wonderful as a combo.
24K Moolentine
This is described as a clear base with 24K gold leaf, lots of iridescent orange to green to blue flakes and gold holo dust. There has been so many toppers on the market that it is very exciting to get something unique 🙂 It looks amazing over the accompanying pink polish and it looks very full glam in three coats on its own (see a close up pic below).
Sinful Pink
This one is described as a pastel pink. Simple as that 🙂 It has a crelly texture and looks very lovely on the nail. It took me three coats to get it decently opaque (you can still see my nail line but with crellies and jellies I don't mind that at all). If your nail line isn't that contrasting, you might get away with two coats. The first coat was quite patchy so if you want to do two, I'd suggest one thin coat and then a thicker second coat.
I'm going to pick that amazing topper as my favourite because Moo Moo's Signatures managed to create a topper that is unique (at least to my collection it is) and it looks great over a variety of different polishes. It is also lovely on its own so if you're in the mood for something ethereal and pretty, one coat over bare nails would look very lovely.

When I try to open it is giving me an "invalid wallet earned" error and won't load. I uninstalled and reinstalled and that didn't work.

Pew aims to reduce these impacts through policies that will modernize federal flood insurance, mitigate disasters, prioritize investments in flood-ready infrastructure, and promote nature-based solutions.
As Washington's statewide floodplain manager, Gordon White works to limit the impacts of flooding across the state, including directing the Floodplains by Design program.
State Senator Lynwood Lewis, the current co-chair of the Joint Subcommittee on Coastal Flooding, was born and raised in Accomack County and is well aware of how sea level rise and more frequent and intense storms affect his district and the commonwealth.
Since 2000, floods have cost the United States more than $845 billion in damage to homes, businesses, and critical infrastructure. The expense of adapting to more frequent and severe storms is projected to rise over the next several decades, placing a premium on the need to take action now to reduce the impacts of future floods.
The most common and expensive natural disasters in the United States involve flooding, costing an estimated $768 billion in losses since 2000, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Last year, the devastation caused by inland flooding and powerful hurricanes was compounded by aging infrastructure that suffers from years of neglect.

There are times in life when you just need to nod and smile knowingly to yourself. On Saturday I had one of those moments.
A soon-to- be 1st time father was telling me how their lives were not going to change AT ALL after the baby was born. The baby was just going to fit into the way they live their lives and not the other way around. He was adamant that his wife was going to be able to carry on doing exactly what she did now.
Smile and nod, smile and nod….

he traditional icons on glass are an original style, specific for Transylvania, characterized by a naive, cheerful drawing dominated by simplicity and equlibrium. The first icons on glass appeard at Nicula, from where they spread to all Transylvania. After this many other centers where developed each of them with a personal style.
The main characteristic of the naive style is that the icons were painted by artists from the rural world who introduced Romanian Popular motifs, the icon becoming this way a modality of expretion, comprising facts from the day to day life of the village people.
With the exception of some painters in the centers of Transylvania painting, the painting of glass icons didn't represent their main occupation of those who practice it. After working on the filed or when the season didn't permit it, the peasants took up the craft, all the colors used in the realization of the icons were created by the painter himself out of natural materials.
At Sibiel, in Marginimea Sibiului in Romania, we can find the largest museum of glass icons from Europe, where we can find a collection of about 600 icons, the majority of them done in traditional style from all areas of Transylvania (Nicula, Valea Muresului, Tara Fagarasului, Marginimea Sibiului etc).
The traditional icons painted by me are in total accordance with the Romanian tradition , the technique used being the exact one used in the past. The models are are inspired from the icons in Transylvania, the colors may differ being painted manually.
The frames are hand made in lax wood (fire tree, linden), patinated an treated through an aging process in order to give the wood an authentic feel.

Project Description
Laura Taylor engaged BeyondBrands to help her develop a new concept: an upscale, yet approachable alcohol-free mocktail, that enabled nondrinkers to participate in any occasion when alcohol was served. Laura, a wife and mother who is socially active in her community, came to us from a successful career in software sales. She had quit drinking alcohol a few years prior and found that her only options were soda or water. So Laura set out to create her own beverage to fulfill the need for a new alcohol-free choice that allowed non-drinkers to experience the same social connection and drinking pleasure as people who could enjoy cocktails and wine. Laura sought expertise from BeyondBrands in building a brand, formulating the product and taking it to market. She challenged BeyondBrands to create a brand and packaging that conveyed quality and sophistication, while also being approachable and healthy.
BeyondBrands' team of 'best in class' professionals walked Laura through every step of the brand development process, starting with creating a brand name, packaging and formulation. As the project proceeded, our industry veterans shared knowledge and best practices with Laura on how to make her brand a success. We began the branding process by distilling the new brand identity into one perfect name: Mingle Mocktails, a spot-on metaphor for blending flavors, people and fun. From there the creative team landed on a clean, bright and upscale brand presence.
BeyondBrands fast-tracked Laura's product development process, saving significant time, money and resources. We swiftly navigated her toward four unique flavor formulations, while simultaneously engaging industry-vetted vendors to supply products and services that would ultimately bring Mingle Mocktails to market. Through BeyondBrands' extensive network, Laura secured support from trusted experts to source components from labels to fruit extracts. We not only accelerated the launch of Mingle Mocktails, but the BeyondBrands team provided Laura essential knowledge on how to build, launch and grow a brand in the highly competitive beverage industry.
SOLUTIONS: Launching a Mocktail that Connects Community
To develop Mingle Mocktails, BeyondBrands performed the following tactics:
- Naming
- Logo development
- Packaging Design
- Formulation
- Support for ingredient sourcing
- Establishing vendor network and supply chain
- Support for sales and distribution
Mingle Mocktails accelerated from a concept to a product with a defined brand identity and supply chain in less than seven months, the first major measurable result of BeyondBrands' combined approach to strategic planning, multiple capabilities and engagement of seasoned experts. The BeyondBrands team continued to provide support in the sales and distribution process, enabling Laura to generate enough sustainable sales to quit her full-time job and achieve her milestone goal of being able to focus fully on Mingle Mocktails.
Mingle Mocktails has widened distribution from the Mid-Atlantic to the East Coast, with plans to expand nationally through the recent partnership with a national distributor, KeHE. In just a few months, Mingle was selected for placement in over four major retail chains and became the category leader in the Mocktail space. As sales grow, Laura and Mingle Mocktails continue to earn multiple accolades in the beverage industry and press. She still maintains the trusted relationships she developed with the BeyondBrands team and many vendor representatives they connected with her and is grateful for the team's continued support as Mingle Mocktails gains market traction.
"BeyondBrands helped me not only achieve my dream of launching an upscale, yet approachable, line of alcohol-free mocktails, they gave me the confidence and knowledge to do so much more! Because of BeyondBrands, with no previous experience, I was able to swiftly launch a beverage, while also establishing a world-class brand and supply chain to make Mingle Mocktails the category leader in the emerging Mocktail segment. I am grateful for their professional expertise, but even more appreciative of their unwavering commitment to make my vision a reality. The BeyondBrands team shared my passion and applied their incredible experience to show me what's possible if you trust in the right team to build a successful brand"

text: Not gonna lie, I think the current state of healthcare in the US is kinda fucked. I think that's a pretty safe take to make, the issue seems to be on how to rectify it. Ever since the ACA went down like the Hindenburg it seems this issue is becoming more and more partisan as the days go on. From the Republicans stuffing their ears and saying everything's fine to the Democrats and DSA wanting to tax the privilege out of every cis white male this side of the Danube I'm wondering if any solution will be implemented at all. Are we fated to forever be the land of the free and the home of the six-figure medical bill?

The first major GDPR fine for a US firm has dropped: 50 million euro ($47m) for Google over what the French data regulator deemed insufficient transparency on how it gathered data for personalised advertising.
France's top data-privacy agency, known as the CNIL, said Monday that Google failed to fully disclose to users how their personal information is collected and what happens to it. Google also did not properly obtain users' consent for the purpose of showing them personalized ads, the watchdog agency said.
Google said it was "studying the decision".

Lots of people wonder about pawn shops, and there's an unspoken question that percolates in many people's minds… though most are too shy or embarrassed to ask…
Don't pawn shops have lots of stolen stuff?
It seems like a logical premise. Thieves get a hold of valuable items and they want fast cash… why not drop it off at a pawnshop? After all, South Bay Jewelry & Loan is always advertising how they offer top dollar for all items, so thieves probably think they'll get lots of money by pawning or selling their stolen merchandise to South Bay Jewelry & Loan. Plus they don't conduct background or credit checks, have income or employment requirements for pawning items… Easy money, right?
Extensive police monitoring
Pawnshops like South Bay Jewelry & Loan must fill out a significant amount of paperwork for all items received every single day. This documentation is submitted to the police, who review all information and pertinent serial numbers to make sure each item isn't stolen merchandise within 90 days. Anything discovered as stolen is immediately rightfully returned to the original owner.
Superb protective measures
This serves as a protection to pawn shops such as South Bay Jewelry & Loan because if they receive any item and don't report it to the police, they could be charged with the crime of receiving stolen merchandise. No pawnshop owner would want that because it would completely ruin his or her reputation and sour their positive relationship with the community.
Resale value is a top priority
It also works in pawnshop's favor because about half of the items pawned in most American pawnshops are reclaimed by the owners after the loan repayment period ends successfully. That means about half of the items received for pawn will need to be resold. So pawnshops such as South Bay Jewelry & Loan never receives stolen merchandise because there's a 50% probability that it will need to be resold.
No need to worry, then
So stop by South Bay Jewelry & Loan at 16701 Hawthorne Blvd. [address1] to check out our amazing selection of unique items for sale. You can rest assured that all of it has been acquired responsibly, and none of it is stolen merchandise. We do everything in our power to make sure all of our items are of excellent quality and in great condition so you can be confident when you make purchases at South Bay Jewelry & Loan. Plus our prices are simply unbeatable—they're always much lower than retail prices!
Got questions? We're all ears
Feel free to give us a call at (310) 371-4571 or email firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions or concerns about the items we have for sale and our policies about potential stolen merchandise. We're always happy to hear from anyone in our community, and we will respectfully answer any questions you may have!

Side-Swept Bangs for Women with Square-Shaped Face
Having a square-shaped face surely poses its own difficulty when it comes to hair styling. One of many important things that have to be taken into account when choosing a certain haircut is the structure of the face.
The main objective in selecting a certain haircut for square-shaped face is to mitigate the boxiness of the face structure and create the effect of roundness to the face.
If you are at all interested in short haircut, then perhaps you can try the side-swept bangs. There are of course some other variations that you can pull off for your typical face shape.
Bangs for square-shaped face can also be great option to have. Wearing bangs which are swept over to a certain side of your forehead will beautifully create a diagonal line right across your face that will interrupt and also soften the blunt angles of the strong hairline and jawline.
If you want to make the style appear much more stunning, you can try to pair side-swept bangs with either a basic bob or a messy shag haircut, which will give you the effect of roundness.
In fact that will help you to counteract the square feature of your boxy face. Or, if you do not really like basic bob, you can try to have other varieties of bob haircut.
For instance, you can take into account the fabulous Angled bob or asymmetrical bob, which appear stunning on most women.
Talk to your hairstylist or friends to get suggestion on which variety of bob that can complement your look best.

Dear Mr. Berko: My husband and I are 76 and in good health. We are debt-free, and our home, which we nearly sold for $328,000 in 2009, is paid for. But we unconsciously find ourselves not turning up the thermostat, buying cheaper, private-label foods, not ordering coffee at restaurants and buying less expensive wines. Our home insurance and auto insurance have zoomed. Higher prices have silently sneaked up on us, and we're nervous. We don't own any investments; we just have $116,000 in the bank, paying 0.55 percent. We receive $47,000 in income from Social Security, and we also have an annuity we bought 26 years ago and two pensions. And up until April 2010, we got more than $5,000 yearly from our CDs.
When we retired in 2004, we thought we had enough excess income to be worry-free. Now we must invest this money, and a stockbroker recommended a $100,000 variable annuity. He said that it can grow 4 percent in value each year and pay us 5 percent or $5,000 in annual income and that it can't lose money, because it's guaranteed.
Please give us your opinion, or please recommend safe dividend stocks we could buy to increase our income. We need about $3,500 more a year to be comfortable and won't ask our children, because they're having tough times back in Ohio. We know we're fortunate to have $47,000 in income, and we can reduce our spending or take money from our savings if we must, but this is becoming depressing. How can we maintain our current spending without becoming gloomy about our future and living too long?
--GA, Troy, Mich.
Dear GA: Since you folks retired in 2004, the costs of gasoline, food, cable TV, homeowners and auto insurance premiums, airline tickets, auto and household repairs, utilities, dental visits, and magazine subscriptions have increased by more than twice the advertised U.S. inflation rate. Sadly, millions of retirees have been financially sacrificed by Washington's lower rates, which haven't done diddly to help the economy but sure have helped Wall Street. So as Washington patronizingly posts fairy tale inflation numbers, the growing costs of pizza, produce, provolone, pudding, pasta, poultry and Plavix will continue to pinch your pockets and purses.
Forget the variable annuity, and dump that articulate incompetent who would sell it to you. Did you know that most annuity maintenance charges exceed 3 percent a year? So in order to grow 4 percent in principal value and pay 5 percent in annual income (total of 9 percent), this annuity must grow another 3 percent in value (a total growth of 12 percent) every year. I don't know any investments that can grow 12 percent every year.
You made the common mistake of consulting a schlock broker instead of a registered financial adviser, who is held to a higher industry standard than a brokster. Most RFAs understand how dear this money is to your comfort zone, and in most instances, they might recommend a reverse-annuity mortgage. You can discover most of what you need to know about RAMs on the Internet. But be careful, because most Internet advertisers have less conscience than a fox in a poultry farm and will rip you off faster than you can say ''hip hip hurray!'' However, a reputable information source is AARP, which has literature that is easy to understand.
Assuming your home's appraised value is $228,000, you may qualify for a monthly income of $750 tax-free (you're getting principal back), as long as you or your spouse remains in the home. Then, when the last spouse passes, the home is sold to repay the mortgagor. If it's sold for less than your cumulative payments, the mortgagor eats the difference. Neither you nor your estate is responsible for any deficiency. So a RAM can increase your income by $9,000 a year, and you get to keep $116,000 in the bank. Then take a romantic vacation to Lapland; taste a case of Chateau Lafite Rothschild's 1972; and keep your house cooler in the summer while hanging the slightly higher power bill.

Isomorphic general affine groups implies isomorphic fields
Suppose are fields and is a natural number. Suppose the general affine groups and are isomorphic groups. Then, the fields and are isomorphic fields.
Related facts
Proof for the case
|Step no.
|Facts used
|Given data used
|Previous steps used
|The derived subgroup is isomorphic to the additive group, and the quotient group (the abelianization) is isomorphic to the multiplicative group.
|Choose any non-identity element of the derived subgroup as the field's "1" element. Then, we can identify the elements of the quotient with the elements of the derived subgroup based on where they send the element marked "1"
|We thus have the entire field structure determined uniquely by the group structure.
Proof for the case
In this case, the additive group of the vector space that's the base of the semidirect product is a minimal normal subgroup, hence is characteristic, and the quotient is isomorphic to the general linear group of degree . We can then use the action of the center of this quotient group on this additive group by looking at the orbit of any element of that additive group under the center. This gives us a microcosm of a general affine group of degree one and we can use the proof for the case .

The ciabatta was "hand stretched", the manchego "made on the 600m-high plains of La Mancha" – it seemed too good to be true. For two years it wasn't.
But this week it suddenly was, as Sainsbury's rebranded its meal deal options as an "On the Go" range and removed the more exotic lines from the offer. If the duck and hoisin wrap is your bag, or the ploughman's baguette, or the French Brie and grape sarnie, you now have to fork out extra for the privilege of eating one.
The i newsletter cut through the noise
The consensus amongst meal deal experts – and there seem to be thousands across social media – is that the Sainsbury's £3 deal now looks worth about £3, and that's entirely antithetical to the meal deal ethos.
The Facebook group dedicated to forensic analysis of lunchtime offers, Meal Deal Talk, has no truck with meagre fare, with brownie points earned for buying a lunch that looks like astounding value.
When group members upload images of their lunchtime haul to be ranked by others, the critique is brutal; a corned-beef sandwich and some sparkling water will prompt withering scorn, while hefty grab bags of crisps, super-sized drinks and deep-filled triple-packs earn grudging respect.
Basically, if the meal deal booty doesn't look as if the vendor has been diddled out of three or four quid, it's deemed a bad deal.
Words like "stunned", "horrified" and "outraged" were used this week by Sainsbury's customers, gobsmacked at this overhaul of the refrigerated display unit. This might seem like an overreaction, but over the last decade the meal deal has gone from being a way of shifting excess stock of crisps to an integral part of British life.
Visitors from other countries may be curious, even contemptuous of the way we classify a combination of a sweaty sandwich, a fizzy drink and crisps as a "meal", but while it's certainly a manifestation of our gastronomic laziness it's also a way of getting maximum grub for minimum outlay.
"At least the Pork's pulled because you won't have with this atrocious meal deal"
MDT commenter
It's Boots, rather than the supermarkets, that leads the charge in this respect; if you pick its priciest items and hand over your £3.29 (or £3.79 in London and at airports) you can save yourself as much as £4. For seasoned meal dealers, a £4 outlay is the ceiling; they sneer at the £4 or £4.50 offers that you find at, say, BP and Shell petrol stations.
So, with the likes of Aldi and Lidl out of the picture ("You don't need a meal deal with our prices") the three-item meal deal battle tends to be fought between Boots, Tesco, Sainsbury's, Co-op, Asda and Greggs.
But can Sainsbury's recover from this meal deal debacle, when its customers are signing online petitions to restore their "liberty to buy quality filled sandwiches"? The supermarket has stressed that there are 14 new "ambient snacking lines", but this phrase will have as much resonance with hungry shoppers as "3 per cent underlying operating margin".
Whether the decision has been made to save Sainsbury's money or to stop us guzzling so many calories ("tapping into the health snacking trend", as they put it), it ignores the importance of routine, particularly on working weekdays.
We don't take kindly to change, and when our favourite lunchtime options are taken away from us we're left disorientated and upset. "Where on earth is the extra mature Cheddar cheese and ham hock sandwich with caramelised onion chutney?" Answer: it's probably in a "deli-style" bag with a price tag to match.
While Sainsbury's commit "mealicide", the rumour from insiders is that Boots are now using Sainsbury's old sandwich supplier. So as unlikely as it might sound, if it's a deal on chicken triples you're after, you might just have to head to the chemist.

One of the hardest things as a parent is being strong for your kids when everything inside you just wants to breakdown and cry.
Nothing we learned in school or at work prepared us for staring into the eyes of our other 4 kids and assuring them without hesitation that everything will be ok. As parents, we always want to be open and honest with our kids, but we also don't want to prematurely rob them of their innocence by exposing them to the harsh realities of life. Pain exists. It is a very real emotion and is a great teacher. I tell myself daily our biggest struggles in life are preparing us for our greatest blessings…we just have to keep the faith and continue pushing forward when everything around us suggests quitting. I share with you Day 3 of our suffering and its reminder that we truly have much to be thankful for this holiday season.
Day 3: June 12, 2016 (actual Facebook post)
Today was much better than yesterday. We are now focused on small wins and excited to see some regression of the previous day's trauma. Little Stella is off BP meds but is now on heparin to combat the blood clot she sustained in her right leg after getting a central line – necessary evil to combat all the issues Sunday. The other 4 siblings were able to visit little Stella today. The staff provided great education to them on her condition to minimize the shock but I think it was still a lot for them to take in. I'll never forget our 8yr old asking Brooke if Stella will ever come home. We know they've had lots of questions and seeing her did help.
I just don't think it's natural for kids to understand sometimes things get worse before they get better.
I reminded them of my old burn photos and of their previous hospitalizations. Luckily I was able to slip away for a little while and take them out for some ice cream. Hopefully these little distractions remind them Brooke and I love them very much and dearly want to be back home with them and little sis.
I think we're hopefully on the upside but we now realize this is probably a longer path to recovery than originally anticipated. We are steadfast in our commitment to do whatever it takes and still thankful for our blessings. We are continuously amazed by the support of friends and loved ones and it does help ease the pain.
The nurses gave Stella a mani and pedi last night. The little things bring lots of hope that our little angel will be back in our arms soon. Hug your little ones extra long tonight. I am thankful we never take our blessings for granted and truly savor every minute with our kids.

Video: A Brief History of Kickstarter, The First 5 Years
If you haven't already noticed, Kickstarter is getting old. Compared to other apps, the site is practically a dinosaur. Just watch this video! In it, you'll see Kickstarter swimming with the internet's giants like Myspace. Of course, now, the company has been so successful, they've failed to put out an Android compatible app. Users have to pay $0.99 to another company just to manage projects.
On April 28th 2009 at 4:27 pm EST, Kickstarter went live. To celebrate the past five years, we put together this history of Kickstarter.
Maybe that's something a company does when they reach their teens and not because they've made money from billions collected from every continent on the planet? Happy birthday Kickstarter – we hope the year brings you the freedom to offer free Android app for donors and makers along with all of that cash…
5 years ago today, http://t.co/xcglHNr6Fn went live. Here's a brief history of what's happened since: https://t.co/Bgt66t9zLz

Leinster need to hit rare heights to end Saracens' reign
Formidable Saracens will miss Billy Vunipola but still represent a huge threat

Leinster v Saracens, Aviva Stadium, Sunday, 3.30pm (BT Sport)
The royal house of European rugby has fluctuated from Martin Johnson's uncompromising Leicester Tigers at the turn of the century to the regal Toulouse of Jauzion, Pelous and Clerc being punctuated by Dallaglio's Wasps before Munster nearly men savaged their chunk of glory with Axel and Rog at the helm.
Then came Croke Park in 2009, a happening that already seems more myth than reality, as Leinster rose from underneath Lunster and ladyboy brickbats to rout mate Paul O'Connell's Red Army at their peak.
Leo Cullen was the captain as three titles in four seasons were gathered before the money men rolled in. The spectre of Boudjellal's millions gifted a Toulon threepeat as the Northern Hemisphere game slid deep into the mire of greed.
The Irish provinces seemed finished as genuine contenders when multi-national Saracens kept Clermont weeping into the Bouchelleir de Brennus. And now, by the skin of their teeth, Brad Barritt, the burly South African with England caps, leads them across the Irish Sea on Easter Sunday to quell the latest blue uprising.
New Leinster have links to all three stars on the jersey via Sexton, Rob Kearney, Nacewa and Cian Healy but this era is being built upon the shoulders of St Michael's boys turned men. See James Ryan seek out Maro Itoje from kick-off at Twickenham on that momentous St Patrick's Day, see Dan Leavy make Seán O'Brien's failed fitness test bearable, see the every increasing importance of Luke McGrath at scrumhalf.
Back in December when Exeter, the English champions having dethroned Saracens, brought gruesome physicality, and the Leinster line held, it felt like another epic journey was in motion.
Alas, the break, despite Grand Slam spoils, could only conjure nightmares for Cullen.
"That push on in the Six Nations, taking the next step, they have come back the same hungry players they were when they left. We qualified for the quarter finals against Glasgow. We then went away against Montpellier, made a number of changes [in came the towering Ryan], and that was important because you want to build depth for all the eventualities that may take place over the course of a season, and yeah, we would have loved to have played the quarter-final the following weekend but we knew we couldn't.
Ultimate test
"And once we saw Saracens, we thought, whoa, Saracens, because that is the ultimate test for us."
The bookmakers retain unshakable even after Mark McCall named Owen Farrell at outhalf with the handicap spread extended to seven points in Leinster's favour.
"I didn't know we were favourites, I am surprised by that," said Cullen, "because I would have thought Saracens were the favourites because they have won the tournament the past two years. What has changed from their end? Not a huge amount."
Well, Billy Vunipola does represent a huge amount. On even money plenty of English punters will sample that wager even if Saracens, like England, look a lesser outfit sans Mako's little brother.
What a contest this promises to deliver. Seán O'Brien, agonisingly, failed a fitness test on shoulder and hip Friday morning but Rhys Ruddock passed his test. A total of 12 Irish and five English will be reacquainted with each other but, as Cullen put it, don't forget the "Argentineans, Australians and South Africans".
Jack Conan's medial knee ligament damage forces Jordi Murphy to number eight as Scott Fardy joins Dan Leavy on the flanks in what promises to be a fascinating duel against Schalk Burger and teenager Nick Isiekwe.
"Are we ready? It is hard to say. We have tried to deliver a clear plan to the players, the players have taken it on board now, and we just need to go out and do it. They are hungry to do so, they want to succeed."
The ruling rugby house of Europe can rise from the ashes of this game.
Leinster by the skin of their teeth.

"And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work." -- 2 Corinthians 9:8
We collect lighthouses. One lighthouse in our collection sits outside with a working light that shines in the dark. It has a little solar chip that soaks in sun rays all day and then lights up all evening. The sun rays are free and abundant, providing the blessing of continuous illumination. God's sunlight is a gift that just keeps on giving.
In the same way God provides for the needs of his children in abundance. His grace abounds, so that in all things at all times, we have all that we need. The Lord blesses us this way so we will abound in every good work. In other words, the light of God's grace is free and abundant, providing continuous blessing. His grace is a gift that just keeps on giving.
Have your daily needs been recently met by God's abundant grace? Is there food in the cupboard and gas in the car? Are your bills paid up to date and a little left over? Then God's grace has provided all that you need and enabled you be a blessing to others. Remember, God's grace is a gift that just keeps on giving. So let your light shine and be a blessing to someone today!
