Essential Oils started becoming more prominent in my life about 5 years ago. My mother-in-law, who suffers from severe ailments like celiac, an auto-immune disease and complications from mold (learn more), was my first introduction to Essential Oils. When we would visit she had them stashed all over her house. In her bathroom, the kitchen, the living room. Everywhere you turned you could find them.
It was not until a few months ago, I learned their amazing benefits of supporting your body from the skeletal, muscular, circulatory, endocrine, respiratory, immune systems, your hormones (major issues of mine) and reproductive issue, your weight, brain health and emotions. One of my favorite sayings is "there's an oil for that" and there truly is an oil for everything.
I decided I would jump on the band wagon of "Essential Oils" for a few reasons.
reason #1: Help support London's immune system
My daughterwas born prematurely due to a high-risk pregnancy. She was born over 2 months early (9 weeks and 1 day to be exact – read about her story here). Babies who are born premature have less antibodies than babies born at full term. This means London has a higher risk of developing an infection than my two other children (even Nathanael and myself). Because she didn't receive the extra boost of antibodies during the third trimester, I wanted to start making better, smarter, healthier choices for her. Essential Oils was the key.
At first, I wasn't very educated on Essential Oils and bought them off of Amazon. Bad choice! I quickly learned the quality of the oils is very important. Quality = no toxins. If I was making changes in my life to remove toxins because it was negatively effecting my health, why would I continue to put chemicals and toxins on London? I had to ensure the oils were pure.
For example, it takes 220 pounds of Lavender to make 7 pounds of Lavender oil. It takes 60,000 rose blossoms to make 1 ounce of Rose oil. One drop of Peppermint Oil is the same as using 28 peppermint tea bags. Which means if companies are spraying their plants, shrubs, trees with chemicals and pesticides, that small bottle of Essential Oils that I am rubbing on my skin (or London's skin) is loaded with chemicals and toxins.
Another way to think about it is taking a whole apple tree, spraying it with pesticides, and instead of eating just one apple off the tree, you are getting all the chemicals and toxins sprayed on that entire tree….in you Essential Oils. Because of their high concentration, you must be careful with the brands you choose. If you are using Essential Oils today and you don't know how the oils were farmed, maintained and/or prepared, research it!
We ultimately landed on Young Living because they ensure toxins will never enter their oils. They are TRANSPARENT allowing anyone to visit their farms at any time. MANGAE AND CONTROL is important to them from buying the land virgin (chemical free), to seeding the plants all the way to sealing the bottles. Because the oils they produce come from the first distillation only they are of the highest INTEGRITY AND QUALITY. And they are ALL NATURAL using essential oils for weed an pest control (learn more here). This was the only brand I could accept for London.
reason #2: Help support Soren's breathing issues
For some reason, Soren has the worst breathing issues. His breathing is especially difficult in the winter time when the cold, flu, stuffy noses and when congestion runs rampant. I am not sure why, out of all our children, he has the most difficulties given the fact that he was breastfeed the longest. After going through many different avenues to resolve the late night coughing and stuffy noses, we decided to start using Essential Oils.
We were tired of waking up two to three to four times a night. Helping him find his pacifier, giving him honey to relieve his seal-bark cough, rubbing Vick's VaporRub on his chest to open his airways. Anything to get him to sleep better and allow us a few hours of sleep at night. Ugh, it was annoying and mothers out there know exactly what it was like. After coming across Essential Oils, it saved us from the winter wonderland of sickness.
reason #3: They are practical
I am German, by descent, and therefore I am naturally a practical person. Practical means that when someone comes up with an idea that idea is easily applied. Well, my idea was to remove as many toxins and chemicals in my life as possible. Never will I ever be able to get rid of every toxin and chemical but I wanted to get rid as many as I could. My mantra…live life LESS toxic.
For the longest time, it wasn't easy. There were so many choices at the grocery store for "green" dish detergent and "green" household cleaners but there weren't "green" options for shampoos or make-ups. Side note….don't get "greenwashed" like I did.
Because I couldn't buy what I considered to be "toxin and chemical free" products from one store, that meant I had to make another trip, to another store to find what I needed. I am a working-mother of 3 young children and my husband is a pilot. He's gone A LOT. Shopping has to be EASY. Climbing in the back of our Toyota Sequoia to buckle and unbuckle two toddlers and then carry an infant car seat with a 15 pound baby into 5 different stores = not fun.
Making the decision was easy
When I learned that there was ONE company that could take care of all my needs, I was skeptical. But learning more about the company, I couldn't resist but to jump on board. They took care of everything! From toxin and chemical free cleaning products, bath, hair and body care, skin care, products for your kids (+ pets) and their new make-up line. How could you resist? Even more, you get:
- Get money back with every purchase
- Receive Loyalty Gifts for consecutive purchases at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months
- Easy, convenient ordering
- One-stop shopping for everything you need in your home
- Front-door delivery
I pride myself on being a very savvy shopper and Young Living fit all my needs as a young, busy mother of 3 kids.
Buying chemical and toxin free products before maybe offered me one or two of these perks but never all five. And since five is greater than one I decided that Young Living's Essential Oils were the easiest, most practical choice for me. I haven't looked back. Every day I learn something new about their benefits and how easily they can be integrated into my life.
If you are interested in learning more about Essential Oils please contact me via email at firstname.lastname@example.com. To purchase a starter kit and launch your home into toxin and chemical free living, follow this link to start today. With every purchase you will receive product guides, my support along the way and a free $25 gift of your choice. Ask how you can get your oils for FREE!

the fruits of the knitting train
with all the travel lately, I had enough time on trains to finish the clapatois. I think the old knitting group would be proud that I finally finished another big project:
with all the travel lately, I had enough time on trains to finish the clapatois. I think the old knitting group would be proud that I finally finished another big project:
the swiss love the cows, love that other countries view the swiss as cow-loving folk and love gimmicky cows. in an earlier post I showed a picture of one of the more prevalent ads, so I think I'm going to post once a week (or so) with a new swiss cow in action. and since I'm lazy, in the future it may just be a picture....
last week we (ETH) hosted a conference and somehow I was volunteered to help with registration and sightseeing even though I (1) have little experience with conference registration software and (2) have only lived here for 2 months. anyway, the conference was uneventful (ie, I didn't mis-register anyone or accidently refund everyones money) and the sightseeing ended up being quite nice - we took a boat down to other end of the Zurichsee (Lake Zurich) to the olde towne of Rapperswil. only two pictures, one from the boat looking back at Zurich and one ridiculous one of me that one of my charges insisted on taking -
I figured since everyone else's blog had one, I would too. if only we could turn this into a really good underwear pyramid scheme.....
I've lost 20 points off my IQ and and all sense of correct american cynicism and taste. One of the problems in not knowing the language is that I'm always slow...like last weekend when the tram system was disrupted due to construction and there was a PA announcement every 10 minutes that instead of taking the #3, I should take the #9 and transfer at paradeplatz. it took three #9's stopping and leaving before I figured this out. or that the 3 prices at the ice tea machine are (1) small, (2) large and (3) large plus you buy the glass. the "buy the glass" option means that you get the glass that is in front of the ice tea machine, the other options' glasses are near the water fountain. I bought 2 glasses and put them back through the cafeteria system before this was pointed out to me. and then there's the trash, which I've had to store on my balcony for 2 weeks because I couldn't figure out my trash day. I went to see the Pirate movie and thought it was fantastic - everyone was laughing, I was laughing. and then I asked myself, it got poor reviews in the states, what does me + swiss laughing at the same movie mean? the europeans love Home Improvement (the bouncer at a club I walked by was wearing an "authentic" t-shirt, tool belt and workboots...at a dance club). will I soon adore Home Improvement, or even worse, The King of Queens?
I finally made it to the alps for some real hiking and glacier viewing. and in true sarah fashion forgot to charge my battery camera and had to buy a disposable. while waiting for the film to be developed, I went on another trip, to Prague. It was great fun and I took lots of pictures, just a preview here, the rest are on my flickr page.

Halfling Warlord - Player (Mike)
A halfling with a foul temper and a generally foul way of looking at and dealing with the world, though he has been known for his love of coffee and a fine bathrobe… so peace and quiet is not something he is opposed to, but God help you if you oppose his peace and quiet. Has hinted at previous adventuring experience that seems to have given him a greater appreciation for the quiet and safety of small towns and it was later revealed that he was a former member of The Crimson Strand. Has placed a great value on the lives of the average citizen, but absolutely no value on those that would endanger them. Believes firmly in captial punishment.
The law of Buildar. THE LAW.
- Rake "Mountainbeard" Lighthammer - Dwarf Fighter - Former "right hand man" to Werric, though given Mountainbeard's constant backstabbing of Werric, it was questionable how long Mountainbeard would have stayed in the Ally category, if not for his unfortunate death. The loss (like any of Werric's guards would) has made Werric even more prone to violent outbursts (the Griswaldians can attest to that). After the murder of Mountainbeard, Werric stored the dwarf's body in his Secret Prison, and refused to bury his former "right-hand man". Unbeknownst to others in Buildar, Werric discovered two marks on the body, and assumed something was amiss. He would be proved correct, though a reunion with Mountainbeard is yet to be.
- D.B. - Dragonborn Ranger - According to Werric, "the only dragonborn of any count that I ever met". One of the few in his life that Werric would trust with his life, this former deputy of Buildar has been recently broke out of prison by Mountainbeard and is now apart of The Law of Buildar. Surprisingly passed over for deputy in favor of Mountainbeard, though Werric is still in his debt for "the mission for Buldar" that landed D.B. in a Lamascus prison.
- Sarlansa - Former human female guard of Lamascus who has was recruited by Mountainbeard to take a job as a guard in the town of Buildar. She has now made it her mission to help the law in Buildar find "The Lady with Red Hair" as she was attacked by the mysterious woman in her last day in Lamascus as the Lady of Red came across Sarlansa during her escape from Edgar Lighthammer's clutches. This point alone has put her in Werric's favor and the usually bitter halfling is seeing that whatever unfortunate events that have led to the escalated need for protection it has also brought the blessing of people as capable of Sarlansa finding positions in the town's security detail. Unlike her former superiors in Lamascas, Werric has no gender bias and only wants his people "to get the damn job done".
- Ike - Half-Elf Rogue - The former resident thief of Halton accepted Werric's offer to join his Lawdogs… as the "unlawful" component of the bunch. Ike's tasks for Werric include anything outside of the boundaries of the law. He was initially seen by Werric as the replacement to The Tiefling Bros. who have been found incompetent either mentally (Etriga) or physically (Batsa) and then were burned outside of town. Ike perhaps most successfully held the title of Werric's "right-hand man", replacing the famed Mountainbeard, and later when Werric sacrificed himself in The Tunnel to Hell, he passed on his Sheriff badge to Ike.
- Edgar Lighthammer - Human Paladin - The differences between Werric and Edgar only took Edgar's first day in town to come to light. Lighthammer is a member of The Order of the Silver Scale and a man of law himself. However his law does not have the… swiftness in nature that Werric's does and upon seeing Werric bust down Perceus' door with an axe, slit a Crimson Strand attacker's throat once they were down, and then topping it off by burning down Perceus' mansion, Edgar attacked Werric. Unfortunately he missed and was gutted by Werric in the middle of the street. Amazingly he survived (much to the odd amusement of Werric) and the two have had a strange cease-fire of sorts until "The Lady with Red Hair" is found. Still the day where the two will fight for the correct form of law of Buildar is coming… when is anyone's guess.
- Cap'n Jack - An unknown enemy to Werric, his name has been mentioned to him as a threat by Lighthammer, but Werric dismisses this as he is prone to do until his knife is in someone's belly. Until that day came Werric went about business as usual until Cap'n Jack arrived to town to take revenge for the bad alcohol Werric sent to him (by proxy of Mountainbeard). Werric did what he usually does if he doesn't kill an enemy outright… he hired him. Cap'n Jack patrolled the river outside of Buildar, acting as an advance scout for Werric's guards, until The Battle of Buildar came and the whereabouts of the Cap'n, like many others in Buildar, are unknown.
- Randolf Percius (though Percius' latest actions have brought this into question) - Werric's bias against uppity adventurers is exemplified by Percius and the rich, retired adventurer's decision to settle in the small town of Buildar. Constantly on Werric's case for his handling of the safety of Buildar, The Sheriff finally took matters into his own hands once suspicion was cast on Percius in regards to a connection with the town gate being torn down. HOWEVER, Percius was sent by Werric ahead of Mountainbeard to rescue D.B. from prison. It is yet to be seen if their former aggressions to each other have subsided just for the moment or if a shared goal has united the two former enemies. The revelation that Werric was a former member of The Crimson Strand with Percius gives credence to the idea that they have yet again resumed an alliance.
- Anyone who threatens Buildar or its residents.
Long-term Goals
Protect Buildar and its citizens.
Short-term Goals
See to Mountainbeard's return. The presence of an idiot flute player only further eats at Werric that Mountainbeard lays dead.

By Michael Molinski and Sandra Rodriguez
President Trump has made no secret of his intention to renegotiate virtually every trade agreement that comes before him which violates what he considers in the best interests of America. He has labeled trade agreements with Asia and NAFTA (the North American Free Trade Agreement) as probably the worst trade agreements that the United States has ever made.
Chinese steel, Canadian airplanes, Brazilian orange juice and South Korean electronic components are just a few of the products on the schedule of trade renegotiations still to come.
Foreign companies doing business in the United States have a long and arduous road ahead of them over the next three years, or seven years if Trump is reelected to a second term. The question is what should foreign companies do about it?
Should they fight trade agreements or anti-dumping sanctions against them in U.S. courts? Or should they put pressure on their own governments to renegotiate favorable trade deals? Or should they give up and turn to other countries to purchase their exports? Our recommendation is to pursue all three avenues. Our reasoning for doing so is discussed below.


text: In Episode 4, it's back to business as usual as Sarah and Kelly forge onwards in their quest to find meaning, or at least a decent plot, in the Fast and Furious franchise. In a stunning twist, FAST & FURIOUS turns out to be pretty dang watchable, and includes such gems as a real plot, the appearance of Detective Dom, and the debut of fan-favorite Giselle. Also discussed: is Letty's death an example of "fridging", or did Michelle Rodriguez just have better sh*t to do?

Don't see many baggers with both pipes on the same side. But why not.
Jun 15th, 2016 at 4:26 pm
I think that RC is one of the most "underrated" exhaust manufacturers.
Jun 15th, 2016 at 6:03 pm
Not a fan of the 2 into 1
Even though the numbers definitely improve over "duals".
But anything from my neighbors down the road has to be first rate !!!
Way 2 Go !!!
Jun 16th, 2016 at 7:55 am
Don't see too many 2 into 1 on both sides. Unless I guess it's a 4 cylinder.
Jun 16th, 2016 at 10:58 am
I've ran a 2-1 on a bagger for 12 years, wouldn't use duals.
Jun 17th, 2016 at 5:06 pm
Used to run 2 into 1 exhaust on pans and pan/shovels all the time. Much better performance. Plan on putting one one the twinky when it is time for an overhaul.
Jun 22nd, 2016 at 8:09 pm
Ran 2-1 (t header) on hot FL for years. Great performance.
Have one on Sporty now and love it also.

Hindered by asthma since I was six weeks old, I had begun experimenting with my diet and discovered a disquieting correlation. When I stopped eating the normal American diet of sugar, fats, alcohol, chemicals, and additives, I felt better. I could breathe freely. When I tried to sneak in a hamburger and a Coke, my body rebelled.
We need to revise our economic thinking to give full value to our natural resources. This revised economics will stabilize both the theory and the practice of free-market capitalism. It will provide business and public policy with a powerful new tool for economic development, profitability, and the promotion of the public good.
Commercial institutions, proud of their achievements, do not see that healthy living systems - clean air and water, healthy soil, stable climates - are integral to a functioning economy. As our living systems deteriorate, traditional forecasting and business economics become the equivalent of house rules on a sinking cruise ship.

Panthers QB Newton dealing with sore shoulder, doesn't rule out offseason surgery
Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is dealing with a sore right shoulder.
The 29-year-old underwent surgery on his throwing shoulder following 2016 and he said on Wednesday he still has lingering pain in the area.
"At the end of the day it is what it is," Newton told reporters. "It's about managing pain and understanding you have a job to do, a responsibility to put your best product out on the field, and I want to do that for myself and this team."
Newton has appeared in every game for the Panthers this season, throwing for 2,999 yards with 24 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. He has also rushed for four scores.
Newton was asked if he was considering undergoing further offseason shoulder surgery.
"Amongst other things," Newton said. "I can't confirm nor deny."
Newton, however, said he did not expect to miss any time in 2018.
"At the end of the day, I just know that I'm healthy enough to play," Newton said. "I'm not going to let nothing hold me back from being able to help my team. I definitely don't want to be a liability. I just want to make sure I'm putting myself and this team in the best situation to win football games."
The Panthers will face the Browns in Cleveland on Sunday. They will enter that matchup on a four-game losing streak and with a 6-6 record.

UNLOCKING YOUR GROWTH AMBITIONS WITH KPMG ENTERPRISE FINANCINGLeave a Comment
The Asian business community is a robust, thriving and dynamic part of the British economy. Our business leaders have a reputation for their ambition and commitment to commerce.
But, like many privately owned businesses, their success can be restrained by a reliance on equity funding, which is usually sourced from friends and family. While such finance is crucial to starting-up a business, it is debt finance that can provide the fire power to take an established company to the next level of growth.
For any SME looking to raise debt, now is a great time to be in the market. Lenders have funds to put to work, pricing is attractive and the range and variety of funding options available to SMEs continues to increase. Navigating this landscape effectively can be difficult and time-consuming, which is why many businesses turn to independent advice to help secure the best debt funding package.
At KPMG we recently launched a new service to assist privately-owned small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) looking to raise debt finance of £2m to £10m. Enterprise Financing provides independent advice to the borrower and ensures that they are introduced to the most appropriate lenders based upon their financial position and funding needs. We utilise our extensive knowledge of the lenders to deliver market competitive terms.
If you need support in raising debt or would just like a general discussion with regards to the debt funding options available to your business please get in contact.

2017 Dillon WSFF Selections:
Co2ld Waters - Five of the most respected names in the fly fishing world converge on a single creek in Montana to talk about their passion and to discuss the single biggest threat to their timeless pursuit, climate change. Can four million fly anglers make a difference? Legendary fishermen, including Yvon Chouinard of Patagonia, believe it is possible.
Nature Rx - This award-winning comedy series is about a struggle affecting many of us today. Set in the world of a spoofed prescription drug commercial, Nature Rx offers a hearty dose of laughs and the outdoors – two timeless prescriptions for whatever ails you. Side effects may include confidence, authenticity, remembering you have a body, and being in a good mood for no apparent reason.
The Importance of Lios - This is the story of a young earthworm named Lios who longs to know his place in the world. He spends many days alone in his room, reading books. Here he learns many things, but what he loves most are animals. Large, powerful animals that walk the earth above him. Lios feels unimportant, forgotten about in the soil, while larger animals like dogs and horses star in movies above ground. His father, Toor, wants so badly to show his son that earthworms are important too. He takes his son on a journey where Lios learns just how important their ecosystem is and that without it, there could be no life on Earth.
The Important Places - As a father and son rediscover their connection through a journey down the Colorado River and in the Grand Canyon, this poignant short teaches us that although we may sometimes go astray — stuck in eddies and in life — the path back to the important places is never too far away.
To Slow Down and Breathe -"I went for a walk… and found going out was going in," once said a hairy Scotsman. The beauty of slacklining is that is can be as introspective as it is explorative. When we're not moving to run away from our selves, going out in to the wild places of this world can be a movement into our own souls.
Skateboarding in Pine Ridge - In 2011, Walt Pourier, the Founder of The Stronghold Society, started work on the first skatepark in Pine Ridge, South Dakota. In 2015 with the help of Levis® Skateboarding, Vitalogy Foundation (Pearl Jam's non-profit organization) and Wounded Knee Skateboards they began building a new skatepark in the neighboring district of Manderson. This documentary explores the positive impact skateboarding is having on the Oglala Lakota children and the people of Pine Ridge and Manderson.
A Walk in the Park - Follow Kelly Halpin on the type of 'Picnic' that only a Jackson Hole resident can concoct. A human-powered natural obstacle course, The Picnic route includes 42 miles of biking, 2.6 miles of swimming, and 6,000 feet of elevation gain while hiking.
China: A Skier's Journey - Skiing as sport is in its infancy in China, a phenomenon of the country's exploding middle class. As a means of survival, however, it is thousands of years old, a stone age hunter-gatherer technology born in the Altai mountains where China, Mongolia, Kazakhstan and Siberia merge. On a vast trajectory that spans 11,000 km of Northern China, Chad Sayers and Forrest Coots touch down into the rich past and dizzying future of these two respective Chinese ski cultures. As one rapidly expands, they find the other is at risk of disappearing.
Destiny's Bay - Destiny Watford organized her classmates to prevent construction of the nation's largest incinerator in a Baltimore neighborhood less than one mile from their high school.
Elk River -Scientist Arthur Middleton, photographer Joe Riis, artist James Prosek and filmmaker Jenny Nichols join forces in this documentary that captures the migration of elk in the Yellowstone area through a multidisciplinary lens. For many of the elk herds that summer in Yellowstone National Park, home is outside the protected park boundaries the rest of the year, as far as 70 miles away. Mirroring a similar expedition undertaken in 1871 that fused science and the arts, this modern band of explorers join their ungulate counterparts on a trek from Wyoming's rangeland through snowy mountain passes and treacherous river crossings to the rugged beauty of Yellowstone's high-alpine meadows. Along the way, they meet backcountry guides and cattle ranchers whose lives are intricately tied with the fate of the elk and other migratory species that call the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem home.
Growing Change - Jim Cochran arrived at work before dawn. He walked out into the strawberry fields. As the sun rose and light hit the field, he began to smell chemicals. His eyes watered. His head spun. He started to shake. He had just walked into a field that had been sprayed with pesticides. From this experience, Jim Cochran helped invent the organic strawberry industry. After pioneering and profiting from a healthier crop, he turned his attention to the health of his workers.
One Hundred Thousand Beating Hearts - Director Peter Byck's short film "One Hundred Thousand Beating Hearts" tells the story of fourth generation cattleman Will Harris's evolution from industrial, commodity cowboy to sustainable, humane food producer, whilst breathing new life into a community left behind and forgotten due to, as Will says, the industrialization of agriculture.
Pale Blue Dot - Set to the words of Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot situates human history against the tapestry of the cosmos through an eclectic combination of art styles woven seamlessly together through music and visuals, seeking to remind us that regardless of our differences, we are one species living on Earth.
The Accord - The reality of growing up a surfer in Iceland is different from anywhere else in the world. It's a harsh place. There are no surf shops, guidebooks or webcams. But being so far removed from the hustle and bustle of the known surf world hardens Iceland's surfers to confront the issue they all must face: the North Atlantic wind. Follow Heiðar Logi Elíasson on his journey through Iceland searching for that rare, yet significant, compromise that brings both Icelandic surfers and the North Atlantic wind to the table.
The High Divide - They say The High Divide is the place where the world is cut in two. Then again, it may be where everything comes together. This place was once called "the big empty." But it's bursting at the seams – with deep forests, streams brimming with trout, meadows flush with grizzlies and wildflowers, and peaks so wild and vast they stretch all the way to the horizon. It's also full of people. People who love the land. Cowboys who love salmon. Range riders who shepherd cattle and carnivores. Woodcutters who fight for forests. Generation after generation stewarding land and water. These are the lost voices of the American West. A new film celebrates the confluence of a wild place and its visionary people.
Operation Moffat - Take inspiration and wit from the colorful climbing life of Britain's first female mountain guide, Gwen Moffat. Writer Claire Carter and filmmaker Jen Randall scramble, swim and barefoot climb through Gwen's most cherished British landscapes, grappling with her preference for mountains over people, adventure over security, wilderness over tick lists. This is a film deeply rooted in a real love of wild places.
The Secrets Held in the Ice - Follow the adventure of the pioneer glaciologist Claude Lorius who, in 1956, when he was still a young student, left to study Antarctica. This extreme life experience teaches him the principles of survival and solidarity, and reveals to him his vocation: Claude will be a glaciologist. Convinced that the Antarctic ices contain important information for the understanding of our planet's climatic history, he will continue his research without respite for three decades. Only then, does the ice reveal an unexpected message…

Write a class named
SquareGenerator that extends the
OneButtonBreadboard class in the
acm.breadboards package. When run, this class should prompt the user to click the button labeled "Draw!" to draw 50 squares in the central graphics area of the breadboard window, pausing 50 milliseconds between drawing each one. They should be of random size (i.e., side length), color and location, unless the user types one of the following in the input text field:
In the first case, the color of the rectangle drawn should be either red, green, or blue, as indicated by the user -- while the size and location should still be chosen at random.
In the second case, the side length of the square drawn should agree with the user input -- while the color and location are still chosen at random.
While the square's location is always chosen randomly, it must be chosen so that it appears fully in the central graphics area of the application window. (i.e., no squares should be only "partly visible")
Below shows what this program could look like after repeated hits of the "Draw!" button with the shown text in the input text field each time:
One can find the width and height of the central drawing area of a
OneButtonBreadboard by doing something similar to what is used in the following code:
import java.awt.Color; import acm.breadboards.OneButtonBreadboard; import acm.graphics.GRect; public class BorderFun extends OneButtonBreadboard{ public void run() { this.setSize(500,500); double textAreaPanelHeight = this.getRegionPanel(OneButtonBreadboard.NORTH).getHeight(); double textFieldPanelHeight = this.getRegionPanel(OneButtonBreadboard.SOUTH).getHeight(); //draw a pink rectangle that exactly fills the central drawing area GRect rect = new GRect(0,0,499,499-textAreaPanelHeight-textFieldPanelHeight); rect.setFilled(true); rect.setFillColor(new Color(255,200,200)); this.add(rect); } }
Don't compare strings with the "==" operator, which is meant only for use with primitive data types. Instead, use the
equals() method of the
String class as shown in the following:
String s1 = "apple"; String s2 = "orange"; String s3 = "orange"; boolean firstTwoEqual = s1.equals(s2); // which is false in this case boolean lastTwoEqual = s2.equals(s3); // which is true in this case
Every color under the rainbow can be expressed as some combination of the primary colors red, green, and blue. To get different colors, one simply varies the intensity of each primary color combined. For example,
java.awt.Color class, we can specify the intensity of each primary color with an integer from 0 to 255, with 0 corresponding to 0% and 255 corresponding to 100%. With this in mind, and presuming that
random is an instance of the
java.util.Random class, the following code will create a random color:
int red = random.nextInt(256); int green = random.nextInt(256); int blue = random.nextInt(256); Color randomColor = new Color(red,green,blue);
java.awt.Color class offers a quick way to specify certain colors. For example, in the following code snippet, both
color1 and
color2 end up being green:
Color color1 = new Color(0,255,0); Color color2 = Color.GREEN;To find out which colors with which you can use this shortcut, consult the Java API.
rect is an instance of the
acm.graphics.GRect class and
someFillColor is an instance of the
java.awt.Color class, the following will fill the rectangle
rect with the color
rect.setFilled(true); rect.setFillColor(someFillColor);
GRect myRect = new GRect(x,y,height,width); //creates GRect named myRect, presuming //x, y, height, & width are doubles //that already have assigned values this.add(myRect); //adds the rectangle to the window
You can look in the ACM documentation to find out more about GRects and the methods they offer.
Notice that there is a space between the word "color" and the "=", and another between the "=" and the color the user specifies. There are similar spaces in the user-entered command to fix the size of the squares. The presence of these spaces may offer you a way to parse the user-input command with an instance of the
java.util.Scanner class...

How to Use a Doodle Journal in Bible Study
Have you downloaded the Bible Doodle Journal yet? Do you struggle a little staying on focus during your Bible reading and study? Struggle with keeping focus during Sunday sermons or group Bible studies? I sure do! I've found a way to stay focused and use my love for doodling and note taking to help me benefit from my time in the Word. Let's break down the ways to use a doodle journal for Bible study.
how to use a doodle journal during a sermon
Doodling is a way to remember key points
Let's face it, there are many distractions at church. Especially if you sit anywhere but the front row and even there I'd be distracted! From the one who's head is nodding to the child who can't sit still, your attention can be stolen very quickly from what is being said.
Be prepared with the right journaling tools for you.
When I have tools to doodle with during a sermon I can stay better focused. Most of the time I just use a pen (or my husbands if I can't find one). Here's a list of things that you may like. *This post does contain affiliate links you can see my full disclosure here or scroll to bottom.

Micron Pens are my favorite.
Journal - Download one in the here.
Doodle ideas to get me inspired - Also a free download.
Listen for keywords and verses - quickly jot them down.
I've learned to quickly write down key words and verses that stand out. This has to be immediate. I can be mid-doodle and catch something I want to ponder on or remember for later - I just jot it down. Then I can resume my doodle.
Add a doodle next to your keywords and verses.
My doodles are just a way to expound on any key word or verse used in the sermon. This also helps me to chew on the nuggets later when I'm doing my personal Bible study or reading. Often when I'm praying God will bring something back to my attention something that was said in Sunday School, during a sermon, Connection Group or just in a conversation I shared with someone. All these together are the beautiful blocks that build my faith more every day. The lovely process of making me more holy, like my Sweet Savior.

how to use a doodle journal in small group bible study
Doodling doesn't have to be perfect to be useful
Are you involved in a small group or connection group? I hope your church offers this because they are so nourishing to the soul. I believe God wanted us to grow together. To hold one another up. To pray for one another. To have accountability. I use the same process as I do during a sermon. As I'm listening and sharing my own thoughts I take notes. Most often in the form of doodles. It's those key words and verses that come back to us just at the right time when we're needing to recall them and sometimes that's in the form of a picture. It doesn't have to be award winning art, the purpose is to help you remember what God is showing you as you're building your faith.
how to use a doodle journal in daily bible study & devotions
Journaling helps us reflect on what God is doing in our lives
Just the act of journaling alone is a great way to be reminded of where you were and where you are now as you encounter Jesus regularly. It provides a testimony of your faith building journey. We too easily forget what God has done for us and journaling provides a great record keeping of those testimonies. Someone in our book club shared a story about a friend she was loving through a difficult time with an adult child. She couldn't do a thing to change the situation for her friend. But she could pray with her and encourage her. She would often say to her, "his testimony is being written."
Journaling is way for you to record the testimony that Jesus is writing of your life.
6 Simplified steps to a personal Bible Doodle Journal
First of all, remember this doesn't have to be a burden and doesn't require a huge chunk of time. Commit to five minutes everyday and as it becomes a habit increase your time. It's the intentionality of spending time with Jesus and encountering Him that will reap huge benefits in building your faith.
Begin with prayer. Ask God to show you what He wants your attention on today for the next few minutes.
Begin with the date. I believe this is really important because we so often forget where we've been and what God has brought us through.
Read your Bible. Whether it's picked ahead of time or it's a devotion you receive in your email or a Bible study you're doing with a group, choose something to read/study on everyday. If you're a member of the MRS designs Library you'll find a free download there of a 52 week Bible Reading Plan.
Keep it short and sweet. Jot down just a few key words and verses. We're not writing a book.
Doodle as you reflect. Allow the doodling process to be reflective as you meditate on what God is showing you at the moment through those few key words or verses.
End with prayer. Thank God for what He's shown you and ask Him to change your heart with it today and to help you reflect on these things throughout your day.
You don't need the journal I created as a free download to kick start journaling. You could just use a notebook or scrap paper or whatever your heart desires. It's simply there if you'd like a bit of structure. I've also created a doodle idea page with more idea pages in the works. This would pair nicely with your Bible Journal. Don't know where to start? Check out my 52 week read through the Bible guide. I know I've often wondered where on earth to start and this guide will help you find a good place to begin. It simply goes from Genesis to Revelation. It absolutely can be started at any point in the year. Your week 1 could be January or it could be August, they aren't dated.

In more innocent times we associated a language with its national community. For much of history nations and languages had a symbiotic relationship. Language is the ultimate propagator of the cultural traits that hold together communities and enable the development of hierarchical command structures. A multilingual country is effectively an empire, for it has to unite peoples unable to communicate easily except through the medium of a common higher-register language that is not their own.
Opinion leaders in the West seem to take four positions on the fast-moving Middle East quagmire:
As idealist teenager I always wanted to side with the notional left on everything. The left represented progress towards a better tomorrow freed of human suffering, prejudice, inequality and exploitation, a panacea in which all human beings could enjoy life to the full in a giant communal garden of Eden. The right, on the other hand, represented the forces of reactionary conservatism emotionally tied to the establishment and traditions that prevented progress to a fairer world.
Did anyone notice that we now have a shadow minister for mental health? Until recently we just had ministers for health concerned with the provision of medical services and social welfare. Indeed Labour's new allegedly anti-establishment leader chose to use his limited time at Prime Minister's Questions to address the perceived shortage of mental health services in the NHS. If you substitute the word psychiatry for mental health, you will soon understand where I'm coming from.
Some of us are fully aware of the semantic differences between refugees and migrants. A migrant is anyone who moves from one region to another. All people classed as refugees, asylum seekers, immigrants, emigrants, settlers, travellers or nomads are migrants. Migration is a wholly neutral term that implies nothing about our motivations or plans or indeed whether we are moving to another continent, country or just another region of the same country. By contrast a refugee is a special category of migrant fleeing persecution, war and/or environmental calamities.
As an idealist teenager John Lennon's Imagine became my anthem. I yearned for a future devoid of the seemingly pointless nationalist rivalry and imperialism that had fuelled two world wars and enslaved millions in the colonial era. I dreamed innocently of a world where different peoples would learn from each other, share their experiences and cultures altruistically and fairly. Yet as I travelled around Europe, South America, Southern Africa and India, another reality emerged.
A much publicised factoid, popularised by many left-leaning campaigners for greater equality, shows that the richest 85 people in the world are as wealthy as the poorest half or around 3.5 billion human beings. That would make each multibillionaire a staggering 41 million times richer than your typical Sub-Sarahan African, Indian or Indonesian.
I predicted a hung parliament that would ditch any manifesto promises at the behest of corporate lobbyists. A weak government is arguably more malleable than a strong one, unless the strong government does exactly what its true masters want. I suspect the new Conservative administration will disappoint many traditional small-c conservatives as it pursues a rigorously corporatist agenda while undermining the very United Kingdom it claims to champion.

High School Sports
Broughton boys golf wraps up Cap-8 championship
Broughton has had no trouble dominating Cap-8 Conference golf all year long, and the Caps ended their regular season on that familiar high note.
Led by a 34 from freshman Peter Fountain, Broughton shot a 145 to beat second-place Heritage by 15 strokes at Wildwood Green on Monday and complete the feat of winning all eight conference matches this season.
Junior Patrick Carlin and senior Jimbo Stanley each shot 36 for the Caps, while Biggs Hawley and Connor Jones each recorded a 39.
"I think our top 12 players could defeat just about anybody in the state," Broughton coach Anderson Marlowe said after the Caps' ninth league title in 10 seasons. "They're deep and good and always knocking each other out. I'm just really proud of what they've accomplished so far this season."
Chris Craddock and Sam Callahan were each at 38 for Heritage, which shot the 160 to finish in a comfortable runner-up spot. Enloe, led by a 38 from Justin Miller, was third at 167. Leesville Road got a 38 from David Schoening and finished fourth at 168.
"I thought we were good today," Heritage coach David Sykes said. "We were a little under our average. We've got a good conference, and we have to play Broughton every week. They're always contenders for the state championship and they've got guys who are going to be college golfers. But we've got a pretty good group of high school golfers."
Wake Forest finished fifth at 174, followed by Wakefield at 182, Millbrook at 188 and host Sanderson at 192.
The third-place finish from Enloe left the Eagles fourth in the season standings behind Broughton, Leesville and Heritage and gave them a rare berth in the 4A Mideast Regional on May 1 in Clayton.
"That was about as good as I could ask for," said Enloe coach Arron Strickland, himself an alumnus of the school. "Things just went right for our guys, but they worked hard and they deserve this. I don't remember Enloe ever going to the regional in golf."
Leesville coach Chip Stone said he was just happy the Pride team got through a rough day unscathed.
"This was probably our worst round," Stone said with a laugh. "I don't know what went on over spring break. But I think we can get it straightened out and bounce back. Broughton is just too good. Their number two team would beat our first team. They're just really strong."
Besides the top four teams, four other individuals – Wake Forest's Matt McDowell and Landon Warrick as well as Millbrook's Fredrik Olebratt and Landon Warrick – qualified for the regional tournament.

Why do I start to write this new blog ?
I wanted to participate to a new challenge for 2011. It's WordPress's challenge Postaday2011 / Postaweek2011.
I've decided I wanted to blog more, specially in English because I'm French and i don't have much opportunities to write in this language. So I'm starting right now. My challenge will be to post once a week on this blog for all of 2011 and then if everything is going great, I will try to post more often. But for now, just let's start slowly.
I know it won't be easy, but it might be fun, inspiring and wonderful. Therefore I'm promising to make use of The DailyPost, and the community of other bloggers with similar goals, to help me along the way, including asking for help when I need it and encouraging others when I can.
I really hope you'll encourage me with comments and likes, and good will along the way.

One day while in the first grade in Argentina, Lisa Bonaccorso's mother came to pick her up unexpectedly from school in the middle of the day.
While her mother was trying desperately to get Bonaccorso to leave, the child's one concern was retrieving the class guinea pig, as it was her turn to care for the critter overnight. Her mother was sick with worry and eventually managed to pull Bonaccorso and her siblings from the school. Bonaccorso was livid with her mother for jeopardizing her one chance to care for the guinea pig.
However, her mother had bigger things on her mind. The family would not be coming back — to the school, to the city or even to the country.
Hours before, the United States government contacted Bonaccorso's father, ordering him to take his family and every American family he knew and flee for their lives.
The family was forced to escape the country and suddenly they were thrown into the middle of a dangerous political battle that defined Latin America throughout the 1970s.
It has been more than 40 years since that day. Bonaccorso no longer holds a grudge against her mother over the guinea pig, although she never saw it again.
Instead, Bonaccorso has set out on a journey to tell the story of her parents as they tried desperately to keep their family together and safe from the very real dangers that surrounded U.S. citizens in Latin America in the 1970s.
Bonaccorso has written and produced the script for her parents' story, "Caught in the Crossfire." With help via an online Kickstarter campaign, Bonaccorso hopes to direct and produce "Crossfire" as a feature film.
"I believe the film transcends time," Bonaccorso said. "You can take the family in this film and transplant them in the Middle East, or Africa, and they will still face the same trials that they do in this story."
The Kickstarter campaign seeks to raise $1.7 million by May 28, the bare minimum needed to produce the film. However, several big-name actors, such as Nestor Carbonell, already have signed on to star in the film.
"It's an honor to have someone like him (Carbonell) sign on," Bonaccorso said. "He really believes in what we're doing, and believes in the script. That's incredibly humbling for me."
The script was a finalist in the 2014 Screenplay Contest at the Gasparilla International Film Festival, and won in its category at the 2013 London Filmmaker Festival.
Bonaccorso owns and operates a film production company in the Flathead Valley, May October Productions. The company opened in 2011, when Bonaccorso relocated from Los Angeles to live in Kalispell full time. A second company, Crossfire Pictures, is housed under the parent company.
Bonaccorso started in the film business 25 years ago when, after graduating from Boston University, she began a career as a crew person for productions in New York and later Atlanta. Bonaccorso dreamed of being a cinematographer and received advice from a peer in the industry who said she should learn how to work in lighting to break into the industry.
Following this advice, Bonaccorso got a job running cable as an electrician on a film production set. However, when she arrived, she found the cable was incredibly heavy and had to be carried up five flights of stairs.
"I could hardly even pick it up," she said with a laugh. "But I didn't want people to think I couldn't do the job, so I just pushed through. By the end of the film, though, I could do all the work with no problem."
This tenacity has proved to be Bonaccorso's best quality time and time again. She worked in lighting for four years, then transferred to work as a camera assistant. Again, her reputation as a hard worker helped to get her in the door and land her job after job over the next 20 years.
When Bonaccorso started out in the industry, she was one of the only women working in film, let alone as a crew member.
"I didn't even realize it at the time, but I was breaking ground for women across the industry," she said.
She propelled through the ranks, working on major films such as "Rush Hour," the original "Fast and the Furious," "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby," and television shows such as "The West Wing," "Grey's Anatomy" and "Mad Men."
Bonaccorso was inspired to tell her parents' story after she watched a friend's documentary. Originally, she set out to record their story for future family generations, but later realized, with a helpful nudge from a friend, that the story could be a captivating feature film.
After hitting walls trying to get someone to write the screenplay, Bonaccorso wrote her own script in just six weeks, again proving her will to push the project forward.
However, the battle was just beginning.
Not only was Bonaccorso a woman trying to make it in an industry that was just beginning to accept women in leadership positions, but she was also a crew person, trying to make the transition into producing and directing.
"It's very hard to break into the industry that way, and go from below the line to an above-the-line position," Bonaccorso said, referring to people who go from a position where their name is listed in the credits after the movie, to a position listed before the movie starts, such as main actors, producers and directors.
So far she has made incredible strides, thanks to connections in the industry as well as contacts she made who believe in the script. Bonaccorso has also made a short teaser video based on interviews with her family, which has gleaned the attention of many who are now involved with the film.
Last year she partnered with producer Fred Caruso, who has managed and produced films such as "The Godfather" and "Blue Velvet." Bonaccorso credits Caruso as a driving force in the success of the film thus far.
The biggest obstacle is the funding. The $1.7 million requested in the Kickstarter campaign is the minimum Bonaccorso's team needs to make the movie, which will be shot in the U.S. and Argentina as soon as funding is available and schedules are locked into place.
For more information on the film, or to donate, search for "Caught in the Crossfire" on www.kickstarter.com.

Western expansion lands Turano Baking Co. in Henderson
After operating in the Central and Eastern time zones for 55 years, Turano Baking Co. is expanding west of the Mississippi River, to Henderson.
After operating in the Central and Eastern time zones for 55 years, Turano Baking Co. is expanding west of the Mississippi River, to Henderson.
The groundbreaking for a 125,000-square-foot building on 33 acres near Bruner Avenue and Henderson Executive Airport took place March 29. Turano 's warehouse is set to be open in October.
"We were looking at a Western location," said Anthony Turano, director of administration for the 55-year-old company. "Southern Nevada made the most sense from economic and logistical standpoints."
Turano Baking, created in Chicago in 1962, isn't coming to Southern Nevada just to make bread. Job creation is a primary focus, Anthony Turano said.
The company aims to fill 60 jobs, ranging from entry level to upper management, he said. According to September 2015 meeting notes from Diversify Nevada, the average wage for employees will be $23.11 an hour.
The company hopes to employ an additional 100-150 people within five years and plans to generate nearly $10.3 million in tax revenue in 10 years. According to the Diversify Nevada report, it will invest just over $38 million in equipment, along with $15 million in construction costs.
The stretch of St. Rose Parkway from Eastern Avenue to Interstate 15 has become a prime landing spot for expanding companies. Levi Strauss & Co., 501 Executive Airport Drive, and Cashman Equipment Co., 3300 St. Rose Parkway, are major manufacturers that operate in Henderson.
Henderson and North Las Vegas were Turano's top location choices. Henderson won because of its proximity to I-15 and its access to Southern California, as well as quick access to the 215 Beltway, Anthony Turano said.
Henderson Mayor-elect Debra March recently visited Turano Baking's Chicago-based factory and said she was impressed with the operations.
"Henderson is a better location because of the turnaround time," she said. "It's a logistic decision, sometimes, that companies go with."

Job creation for Turano Baking Co.
First two years: Plan to hire at least 60 employees.
In five years: Plan to hire 100-150 more employees
Average wage: $23.11 an hour
Estimated generated tax revenue in 10 years: Nearly $10.3 million

Behind the creation of every landmark building is a vision that challenges the conventional notions of architecture, design, materials and thinking. Often, these structures shape more than just the environments and lifestyles of the people living in them; they shape the future blueprints of entire cities. At Rustomjee, it is their constant endeavour to transform the city with every building of ours. When they incorporate playgrounds and swimming pools into our designs, it's not just to offer our customer better amenities, but to offer their children better childhoods. When Rustomjee push theirselves to find innovative solutions, it is not so much to save costs, as it is to save our environment.
As a developer, Rustomjee has always believed that form follows function. This is evident in every aspect of our design and the way they plan homes. Rustomjee also lays special emphasis on the quality of its homes and expects everyone in the team to follow the rule of 'Better, not cheaper'. Rustomjee Group realise that buying of a home is more than just a transaction; it is the realisation of an important dream. Which is why, customer-centricity is the very essence of their brand DNA and the many satisfied customers they've had bear testimony to this fact.
Rustomjee also believes in giving back to the society within which we function and our education initiatives are one of many steps we've taken in this direction. By identifying potential, giving everyone equal opportunity and nurturing talent, Rustomjee is helping create the next generation of leaders.

We are very pleased to announce the publication of The Oxford Handbook of William Wordsworth, co-edited by Richard Gravil and our own Daniel Robinson. This major work of scholarship represents the culmination of several years of research, writing, and collaboration with over 40 internationally renowned Wordsworthians. The collection joins a series that includes titles on Samuel Taylor Coleridge, John Milton, and Percy Bysshe Shelley.
While the emphasis is naturally on Wordsworth's poetry, readers will also find essays on Wordsworth and science, Wordsworth and humanism, Wordsworth and landscape, and an extended section on "The Recluse," the poet's great unfinished work, which includes several essays on The Prelude. Several enlightening biographical essays are offered as well, examining Wordsworth and friendship (most famously with Coleridge) and Wordsworth as a professional author.
Professor Robinson, in addition to editing the volume, penned several essays: "Wordsworth and Coleridge's Lyrical Ballads, 1798," "The River Duddon and Wordsworth, Sonneteer," and the introductory pieces in collaboration with co-editor Richard Gravil.
An invaluable resource for scholars and students alike, the collection brings together essentials of Wordsworth criticism as well as new trends in the field. For her part, this reader looks forward to delving into "Wordsworth's Ethical Thinking," "Wordsworth and Twentieth-Century Poets," and "Wordsworth in Modern Literary Criticism." Congratulations to Professor Robinson!

This month for "Meet The Designer" we have Franchesca from U Furniture Limited. Below I asked her some questions regarding her business. Check our her website HERE and beautiful projects below.
1. Introduction about you and your business, how & why you set it up etc?
I'm Franchesca, and I am a bespoke furniture designer at U Furniture Ltd. We are a family run business, I am the daughter of Joe who owns U Furniture Ltd and we specialise in designing, manufacturing, spraying and installing all kinds of bespoke and built in furniture.Initially working with Joe was a pit-stop and I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do in life and now nearly 4 years later, I am absolutely loving what I do!
I have developed a passion for helping clients turn their dream furniture into a reality, furniture they will love to use, see every day and suits them in every possible way. I also love working with Joe, we have a great relationship and we make a very good team while running the business together so last year I decided to step things up.
Over the last year we have worked with home owners and interior designers, and have created some beautiful pieces of furniture. We have a very exciting 2018 still to come which we just cannot wait for.
2. Tell us about your style of furniture.
Our most common projects are those in period properties so it's popular to mimic the features of the home into the furniture too, making it quite traditional with different mouldings and decorative features or creating a modern twist on a traditional design. But we also have worked on very contemporary pieces of furniture in new build homes where that style suits best. It all really depends on the house, the style of the room and how it's designed also as well as the preference of the client. These elements tied in together will determine the design. This is where the term 'bespoke' really comes into play, you can get really creative and have a lot of fun with it.
3. Where do you get your inspiration from?
I get a lot of my inspiration from Instagram, Pinterest and other furniture designers. I do sometimes get carried away and a few hours have gone by and I've just been sat scrolling, pinning, saving. I love seeing what has already been done and evaluating it; what I like, possibly what I don't like, how I may have done it differently. I've recently starting creating mood boards for my clients who are unsure on what style they want to go for, collating lots of different images together to get a real feel for what they like and don't like, as that's always essential to know.
4. What has been your best project to date
Our best project to date is a actually one we have done really recently. We designed and installed this absolutely beautiful pair of alcove wardrobes in Wanstead in East London. We manufactured the exterior of the wardrobes from MDF and sprayed it in Farrow and Ball's Mole's Breath in a 30% sheen level. The interior was manufactured from a birch ply and sprayed with a clear lacquer so the grain of the birch ply picked up beautifully and the edges of the birch ply create a great feature. It really took my breath away when I visited the clients house to take some visual content. *You can read more about the project here in our case studies post*
5. If you could give one bit of advice for someone wanting to set up their own business, what would it be?
My current motivational quote is, "you do you". Believe in yourself and your business because a positive outlook will more than likely result in a positive outcome. Don't be afraid what others might say, always remember why you started your business and keep your goals in sight. No one else is going to do it for you so get in gear and do it, take risks and go with your gut.

An office romance that has led to a 20 plus year marriage starting at an Engineering Firm and expanding to a Crafts Business.
We are a husband and wife team who met in our early 20's at an engineering firm. After working there for 12 years I decided to leave and pursue my dreams owning a craft store. In 2003 we moved to an online only business and have never turned back. We have been making our doll beds since the start and have many customers who return to buy more. Thanks for taking a L@@K at the Crafters N@@K

I noticed that Clients are allowed to cancel their appointments via the short code "allow_cancel" under the "app_my_appointments". I was wondering if the service provider could cancel appointments in the same fashion. I added the shortcode to the providers page, but do not see the option to cancel appointments. Please let me know.
page located here:
script for page is:
[app_worker_monthly_calendar worker_id="2"]
[app_my_appointments provider="1" provider_id="2" allow_cancel="1"]
Also, Is there a way to put a minimum cancellation period in which a client can cancel. (ie client cannot cancel within 24 hours of appointment.)
