Lost Leads – ep. 10
Lily cocked her head, "did you hear that?"
"A hissing," replied Sally, "where's it coming from?"
Lily opened the cupboard. "Cripes, a snake!"
Sally grabbed a broom for protection. "Is it a dangerous breed?"
"Well," said Lily, "it looks like the snake is exactly 3.14 metres long."
"What's that mean?" asked Sally.
"It's a pi-thon," replied Lily.

Any suggestions to get my cookies to dry a little faster...just found out I need cookies for tomorrow. Anyone try anything that works?
Put them in the oven overnight with just the oven light on. That should dry them out.
Thanks a million! I will try that tonight and let you know how it worked! I appreciate your help.
My recommendation is to try a fan instead.
I tried putting some in my gas oven at the lowest temp to dry them at Easter -- and it krinkled the Glace' icing.
I use royal icing and put mine in the oven with the light on all the time. It works great.
I did it and it worked great. The cookies looked fabulous. Thanks for the tips. I appreciated it. I sure was in a pinch.
Wonderful!! Glad we could help!

An image of a mother breastfeeding at a wedding in Germany that went viral has prompted yet another international discussion on the propriety of breastfeeding in public. Naomi Jael Covert, a 21-year-old German woman who's married to a U.S. Army serviceman, was in her home country to attend her best friend's wedding when she posted a photo of herself breastfeeding her 10-month-old son at the event. The photo was shared by empoweredbirthproject — an Instagram account centered around empowering images of motherhood — and was soon liked over 13,000 times with over 600 comments, both positive and negative.

That's right mama, you feed that baby wherever and whenever he needs to eat. Show 'em how it's done ???????? #Repost @mrsz.covert ・・・ When you are at a wedding, wear fancy dresses and high heels.???????????????? and your baby gets hungry, well… You give no shits and feed the kid ???????????? #breastfeeding #momlife #normalizebreastfeeding #fedisbest #lessjudgementmorelove #empoweredbirthproject @fed_is_best
"I read the comments and I was like, 'Oh wow' because people were so rude," said Covert. "It kind of hurt. I had heard before that it's frowned upon in America and [women] get treated mean or maybe even thrown out of restaurants, but I often thought it was made up." No-one at the wedding itself had a problem with her breastfeeding — the other guests treated it as "normal," Covert said.
"It's like you're eating a snack right now or you're drinking your coffee," Covert explained. "I'm not doing anything wrong."

chef's table
Eat like the French with this comforting dish from the countryside.
Oui! Oui! Originating in the south of France, cassoulet is a hearty dish filled with meat, pork skin, and white beans that is a staple in the homes of many. With recipes passed down for generations, there are endless variations on this rich, slow-cooked casserole. No matter the preparation, expect warming culinary comfort as the temperature drops.
Mark Estee, chef/owner of the Nevada Museum of Art's chez louie, Liberty Wine Exchange in Reno, and The Union in Carson City, has fond memories of learning to prepare cassoulet.
"I was working at a French restaurant in Rhode Island while attending culinary school when I made cassoulet for the first time. I remember thinking, this is such a great dish for the cooler months and a nice take on a one-pot meal," he recalls.
Estee's version, served seasonally at chez louie, includes beans, sausage, and chicken legs. Perhaps his favorite twist on the traditional list of ingredients is using duck fat mixed with breadcrumbs to top the casserole, creating an immensely flavorful crust.
"It's a fun dish to make because you're cooking with different proteins that bring an unforgettable character," he says. "It's definitely a dish that takes several days to prepare, and you can tell when you taste the final product."
Cassoulet creativity
Options abound for making this dish, but Estee recommends sticking with a few traditional ingredients, including beans and pork.
"Try mixing in Basque chorizo and other local sausage. Add pork belly or bacon for even more depth," he says. "And use any one of the many different heirloom beans grown in this region for some really earthy notes."
Served alongside a smooth French pinot and crusty bread, cassoulet is a delicious meal that will fill you up this fall and winter.
Heidi Bethel is a French food fanatic who enjoys the warmth from a dish prepared with an undeniable passion for the process.

My aim for this month is to observe and pull against my identification with "doing". This came about as a result of observing haste in myself. Although I have had very little success at pulling against haste, I have, through observing myself in it, been able to identify the emotions that set it in motion and come to realise that my emotional centre is far too attached to the belief that finishing tasks successfully and quickly will bring me happiness, or a sense of fulfilment, or make me feel alive.
My first opportunity to practice this aim this year came with the task of taking down the Christmas decorations. This was a task that I had been unable to carry out because I'd been ill since Christmas. I really wanted to do it because I believed that once it was done, the sitting room would feel less cluttered, more spacious and would help me feel like I was starting afresh for the new year. This belief that the completion of this task would make me feel better set haste in motion; I wanted to complete the task as quickly as possible so I would experience those good feelings as soon as possible. I managed to catch myself thinking these thoughts and determined to stay in presence as long as possible throughout the task and pull against any haste. The experience really did feel like the tug of war in the picture of the Churning of the Milky Ocean. Sometimes the devas prevailed and I acted from a place of presence and sometimes the demons did and I started to hurry, drift off into imagination and so on.
During the moments of presence where I concentrated on performing each movement of the task consciously, staying aware of my environment and of my own presence, I was able to verify what I had previously suspected, that the belief that the completion of the task would bring me happiness is based on a faulty premise. The sense of aliveness that I am searching for is not gained by what I do but the consciousness with which I do it. For I experienced a deep sense of aliveness from carrying out the task in presence which I have never experienced from acting in sleep. The fulfilment came from being deeply present while I was performing the task, not from getting it finished.
Another phenomenon I observed during these moments of presence is an awareness of my own existence, of myself performing the task. This awareness of my Observing 'I' creates within my Machine a strange discomfort that I have experienced before; a kind of self-consciousness or pressure that the Machine does not like. Observing this has made me suspect that, on a deeper level, my obsession with 'doing' is a buffer or distraction against this sense of my own existence. However, I have verified that this profound sense of my existence is absolutely real whereas keeping myself busy with tasks is false, a substitute for that real sense of Being.
Now I want to tackle the emotions that set haste in motion during my work days. The big one here is fear; fear of not getting to work on time, fear of not being ready for my first patient, fear of not getting home in time to cook my husband supper. This then makes me start hurrying, sometimes really frantically. Although I have observed that often these anxious sets of 'I's are unfounded, that I actually have plenty of time, I still have not been able to convince them that I will be ready in time and that haste actually makes me more inefficient and thus more likely to be late or forget something. I still have to succeed at this.

Since the JAMB CAPS portal was enabled for candidates to check and confirm their admission status, many candidates have been a bit confused about certain terms they see on their dashboard. This post is to explain the meaning of some of the terms you are likely to find once you log on to JAMB CAPS portal.
Please you are advised to only check your admission status on JAMB Portal through your JAMB Profile. Once you are on your JAMB CAPS page, the important thing you should look out for is what is written under "ADMISSION STATUS" If you have been offered an admission, what you will find under your ADMISSION STATUS is "CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE BEEN OFFERED ADMISSION!". You will equally see two buttons under it : "ACCEPT ADMISSION" and "REJECT ADMISSION".
You are expected to click on the appropriate button to either accept or reject the admission . Like JAMB said earlier, if you accept the admission, it means the admission window for 2017/2018 session has closed for you. If you reject the admission, you will be available in CAPS MARKET PLACE for other schools to consider you for admission.
On the other hand, if your admission has not been approved yet, what you will find under your admission status is "NOT ADMITTED", "ADMISSION IN PROGRESS" or "RECOMMENDED……"
Now, "NOT ADMITTED" simply means two things; (a) that your school of choice has not sent or proposed any list of admitted candidates to JAMB. (b) It can equally mean that your school has sent in the list of admitted candidates but you have not been considered for admission.
If your Admission status says NOT ADMITTED, you can check back later to see if there are any changes especially if your school of choice has not released its admission list (either on its website or Notice Board) when you first checked JAMB CAPS.
"ADMISSION IN PROGRESS" is likely to mean that you have met the requirements to be admitted in your school of choice, but for certain reasons like Admission Quota and other admission criteria of your school of choice, your admission is still pending. Candidates in this category may be offered admission later if other candidates offered admission by the school decides to reject their admission thereby creating room for more admission slots.
"RECOMMENDED" means that you have been considered for admission but your admission is still under review to ensure you meet all admission criteria set by your institution and JAMB. Finally for those having issues logging in to their CAPS portal through their JAMB Profiles, please try using a computer system or change your browser.

Heavy Bread by Ivailo Balabanov traslated by Ann WoodThe poet of the town remained barefoot and naked.
He dreamed of beer - he was eating bread and salt.
He sold his guitar and then chalk,
but the bread still did not reach the kitchen table.
His soul began to descend from the sky
and went on sandals in the mud of being.
His soul wept with grief and insult,
barking and cocooning,
and then turned into a white butterfly
and flew, fleeing from his hungry body.
She began to roam in his cursed days,
but he did not recognize her, he did not even know,
that he is already soulless and that he is deaf and blind
in his blind care of his difficult bread.
And it circled all over the old piano,
he was still on Dimcho Debelyanov's volume,
until that night, when it did not slow down
to fly away from the kitchen table
and he was already blind for a long time
unwillingly tossed it under his heavy bread.
Poetry by Ann Wood

text: Growing edible plants indoors is really not much different that growing houseplants. The concept is not a new one, dating back into Victorian times with atriums and greenhouses becoming popular in many homes. Housewives have been growing herbs on sunny window sills for centuries. Home gardeners have been starting plants indoors under lights for ages and now those systems have become even more

Last week the Department of Education listed 35 free school proposals that are "approved to business case stage." The list now has 40. New ones have been added for Reading, Greenwich, Cornwall, Suffolk and Southwark.
There I steady news of promising proposals not on the list yet. A free school is proposed for Swanage in Dorset. Last August I went on holiday with my family to Studland, which is just next to it. Our patriotic choice of a British holiday was rewarded by pretty frequent rain. But that didn't stop us exploring the beautiful surroundings.
The school is proposed by Education Swanage. They say:
Lack of educational choice in Purbeck already makes Swanage a difficult place to live for families with older children.
Paul Angel, from Education Swanage, said:
"We may offer local skills-based subjects, such as sailing or dry stone walling. Within the budget we would be able to provide the correct amount of staff to cover the curriculum, as well as these additional options."
This morning I also see plans for the first free school in Bath. There is also news or another one planned for Camden.

I admire Eminem's honesty. For one, he's intense in his writing. And he confronts what hurts and often, what other people shy away from dealing with.
I am of the opinion that honesty and total openness, vulnerability, the imperfections and all, is the true display of trust. When someone bares all of themselves for you and let you into their soul, heart and mind. No amount of words can rival that act. Experiencing that proximity with people is priceless.
But, largely, we seem to easily default to having high walls around our emotions. You know, we are so guarded that we never live at all. We are too careful. We even hold back from expressing our truest feelings, we tip toe around them as if our lives are a movie whose scenes can be cut, rubbished and filmed all over again.
"You can't be afraid to deal with your demons. You've got to go there to be able to write." It made sense reading Lucinda Williams' words, especially at a time when I began writing everyday. Which can be overwhelming and depleting in one's content arsenal.
Writing of which, a perfect example of this is Khaya Dlanga. When he moved from the Eastern Cape to Cape Town to study Advertising, his mother had scraped together everything she had. He struggled in the cape! At times, having to sleep on lecture rooms and later, in an abandoned building near campus. Had to go without food for long periods at times. Khaya is candid about all these stories through a blog he wrote a few yeas back.
He's not perfect. He's honest. And his blog became huge because, I assume, it resonated with people in its candour. The stories expressed are what many of us are experiencing or have gone through before. Khaya's fractures made me a devoted reader of his blog. In some way, it validated my own journey in that I saw someone who has succeeded by overcoming a heap of challenges.
When we act like mannequins, we miss the ripe opportunity to expose rich layers of our story. The nuances that make it unique and pulsating. Here's the thing we seem to often forget: people are interested in other people. That's how we function. And we are often drawn toward and are deeply affected by the realest expressions of the human journey.
Fractures and contours in people are breathtaking. Too polished a human being is a bore. Methinks.

From the recording So Sweet
In 2002, we decided that we were going to try a new approach to the recording process - do it all ourselves. One thing about this band is that we never pocketed one cent from any show, album, or tshirt. Every penny went back into the band. We had bought vans for touring, lots of gear, paid for studio time, and finally paid to turn our rehearsal space into a studio. By now, we were playing with a new guitarist - Philberto Crimaldi - and our sound had mellowed considerably. Mason was married, I was a father about to be married, and our seperate home lives were seeping into the music. "Syzygy," our fourth and final album, seemed on the outside to be an excercise in socialism through music. We wrote it, recorded it, produced it, and released it. Looking back on it, I feel there are great moments on there, but I think we were slowly coming to the realization that it was over. We weren't the tight knit unit we were in 1998. We had things that were bigger than the band. We released this album then threw in the towel soon thereafter. I don't want this to sound like a death rattle, though. We played some of our best shows during this period. In all honesty, I think if you asked any fan of Picadilly Circus when we were our best - they would say during the "Syzygy" era.

The cherries are here! The cherries are here! There is nothing I like better than seeing big piles of cherries in the markets (besides maybe seeing big piles of peaches) in the late spring and early summer months. My kids? They could take them or leave them. Little nutters! Wyatt got some of the first batch in his snack on Monday, along with a few pita crackers. I halved them and popped out the pits because he's not super great at eating them with the pits in yet and I wanted to minimize the mess at school.
This lunchbox is a perfect example of what you can pull together out of desperation if you have a well-stocked pantry. Tuesday morning dawned with an empty refrigerator. We had none of the usual lunchbox staples that I try to keep on hand. No tofu, no turkey or ham, no leftovers — nothing. The only fruit we had left was a small hand full of cherries and even the bread box was echoing. Gah! I seriously had to dig to find food but I don't think I ended up doing too badly. I managed to dig up one single slice of bread, so I used that to make a jam sandwich (we have lots of jam on hand), then I found a pineapple fruit cup in the cupboard. The cherries were a no brainer. And then finally, I found a little frozen pizza tucked into a corner of the freezer. Phwew!
Augie's lunch was packed entirely the night before, so it wasn't so hard to find stuff for him. He got a half of a leftover burrito from dinner on Sunday night, along with mango chunks, mixed veggies and some cherries.
Wyatt stayed home sick from school on Wednesday, but I'd packed his lunch the night before, so I let him eat it for breakfast. I forgot to take an aerial view of this box, but you can see from the photo that he had mixed berries (he'd already eaten the raspberries and blackberries), turkey roll-ups and cheese slices.
Augie's lunch also had those berries in it. It also had sliced tomatoes (red, yellow, orange and purple), a samosa I bought from a vendor at the farmer's market (filled with spiced potatoes) and frozen peas.
I kept Wyatt home from morning care in the morning, but he was feeling fine by the time kindergarten started so he had a very simple snack to take to school: strawberries and a ketchup sandwich made on garlic naan.
Friday's kindergarten snack was a gigundo strawberry, a rolled up slice of turkey and a few grapes.

Hi, i need to build a matrix with different type of inputs, i mean: first column: text area, second: check box, tirdh: radio button, and so on.
Is it possible?
Thanks in advance.
- JotForm SupportabajanAnswered on August 12, 2015 at 04:20 PM
Thanks for asking, Dan. That's not currently possible with the default matrix tool found in the form builder. However, there are at least two widgets which should fit the bill:
Matrix Dynamique
Configurable List
Here's a pretty comprehensive guide on the latter.
Please see How to Add a Widget to your Form.
If you need more help with this, please let us know.
- marianidoAnswered on August 12, 2015 at 06:32 PM
Thanks for your answer!
But I think that those widgets does not solve the matter.
I'm attaching an image,perhaps you can give me another clue. The point is my respondent is in each row (class of associate) and with your widget proposal, I feel I not solving the issue.
So any other idea will be welcomed
Thanks again!
- JotForm SupportChriistianAnswered on August 13, 2015 at 02:22 AM
I think the Configurable List widget can help you with this. I created a sample form - http://form.jotformpro.com/form/52231858557967? Is this what you are looking for? You can try to clone the to have a closer look on the setup.
We can help you set this up in your form. Please provide to us the link or name of the form in questions so we can better assist you?
We will wait for your response.

Deron Williams had 27 points and 10 assists and the New Jersey Nets have their first winning streak of the season following a 99-96 win at Cleveland on Friday.
Kris Humphries had 18 points and 11 rebounds and Anthony Morrow added 22 points for the Nets, who also won at Philadelphia on Wednesday for consecutive victories for the first time this season.
Rookie Kyrie Irving had a career high 32 points, including 21 in the fourth quarter, and Antawn Jamison had 20 for the Cavs. Cleveland scored just 37 points in the first half and trailed the entire game, although Irving's scoring flurry made the final closer than the game.
The Nets scored 11 straight points late in the second quarter to take a 47-37 lead at the half. The Cavs didn't get the deficit under 10 until the final two minutes and the Nets hit enough free throws in the final minute to keep the Cavs at arm's length.

Sister Lourdes – Part Two
During the Indonesian occupation of Timor Leste the Catholic Church became "the people's church". To be Catholic became a symbol of Timorese identity. Priests and Nuns spoke out about human rights abuses. They risked their own lives. The Timorese lost their own identity, their indigenous culture and their spirituality during this time.
Sister Lourdes, Mana Lou, is now 48 years old. A dynamic, vocal and independent-minded woman, she provides a new model of religious leadership and service for the Church. She has dedicated her life to "changing the plight of the poor by working on the roots of the problems". Sister Lourdes feels that God asked her to look after the "underdogs". Now her focus is on empowering the poor to become truly "independent" by developing cottage industries, handicrafts, and agriculture, as well as spiritual growth. One of her goals is to preserve local languages and culture. She collects traditional music, and is an expert in traditional food and medicine. In a demonstration of Christ's love she reaches out to the areas other groups do not venture. She gathers communities in the search for solidarity, faith and resource maximization. She has established more than 10 houses across the country, and health clinics and a hospice for tuberculosis patients and one for children with disabilities.
Sister Lourdes considers that the children are the real future of East Timor. She believes Timor Leste needs more than education to overcome its challenges. Its people need to be prepared to do hard work and take the initiative. She is concerned that some Timorese people live with an "occupation mentality". That is, they are so used to not being in control of their own lives and society, and then becoming the recipients of charity, that they do not have the drive to attempt to rectify the situation for themselves. This has resulted in a noticeable lack of leadership skills. Another goal is to build leadership among the youth. Her bigger vision is a self-sufficient country that does not rely on charity. Her crusade to help the poor has put her at odds with her country's invaders, her church and at times even her own people. Although it has the official blessing of the Bishop, the Institute receives no official funding from the Catholic Church. It relies on income generated from crops grown, cottage industry and any donations received.
The structure of her "Institute", Brothers and Sisters in Christ, is unique. There is no rank and little bureaucracy. Sister Lourdes personally oversees the day to day management with the assistant of a secretary. She welcomes people of any denomination, who share her vision to join the community. However, if they are Catholic and are called by God they are eligible to become a "member". This entails a commitment of five years of training. The members are educated to be a source of inspiration to the people. They are trained intellectually and in hygiene, social and economic skills, cultural activities and spiritual formation. They undertake outreach work with the poor in villages across Timor Leste. After completing this training they take holy vows, including one of chastity. The latter is to ensure that they can be "mother, father, brother, sister or child to anyone of God's people."
Sister Lourdes is trying to spread the work they do at Dare into the most remote and poorest villagers of East Timor. She even has dreams of taking her work to other poverty stricken countries. She is not limiting her scope to Timor alone. She considers it her responsibility to share her faith, to educate, and to train. She hopes that one day it will be "like a candle that lights up and illuminates the land not only for the church in Timor but for the world". When we spoke with her about her plans she even included work in Australian Indigenous communities and work in Africa amongst her future goals.
Sister Lourdes' father was happy for her to spend her time with the priests when she was young so that she could develop a stronger spirituality. This association also provided a safe haven for her and she was sent to the convent for protection. Young girls were often kidnapped during this time. It was then expected that she would become a nun. Although she left the Convent her faith was strong and she knew her true calling was to work "hands on" amongst the poor.
For a time, Religious were considered untouchable and "bullet-proof". This changed dramatically in September, 1999, during the violence following the vote for independence. Refugees sheltering in churches, and the nuns and priests protecting them, were brutally massacred. Sister Lourdes barely escaped with her life as the military and their militias killed two of the younger women she worked with.
Thousands of people fled the cities to hide in the mountains and countryside. While the country burned the farm at Dare became a sanctuary for children and the dispossessed. Sister Lourdes and the candidates of her institute cared for at least 15,000 people. She fed them, clothed them, card for the sick. Her love for the children gave them hope, and the chance for a new life. Amidst the disaster that was Timor Leste in 1999 she made time to play, sing and just "be" with the children. She showed them the Grace of God in their shattered lives. In September 1999 I visited Sister Lourdes and the children at Dare many times. I delivered many packages sent from you here in Pittwater. There was food, clothing for the children, hand knitted teddies and other toys. To see the joy on the orphans' faces as Sister Lourdes taught them to use a skipping rope, or play with a toy, was evidence of the impact of such small things in their lives. For a moment they were distracted from the atrocities they had witnessed.
Mana Lou believes that her ability to care for these people was a miracle from God. There was no clean water and very little food. Yet somehow she always managed to scrape together enough to get by.
The Institute has developed tremendously since that time. There is now guest accommodation in Dare for up to forty people. Designed and built by Sister Lourdes and her members, at $20 US a day, it is a perfect place for retreats and courses. With our assistance Sister Lourdes may be able to extend her outreach programs to the poor in Soibada. There is now guest accommodation in Dare for up to forty people.

President Jose Ramos Horta said; "The Church is a part of our history, the only one that can claim hundreds of years of experience but beyond that, it is the Church that provides the growth of Timorese identity, the Church has contributed enormously to education, health and culture over the years."

INDIANAPOLIS (April 16, 2015) – Fire crews responded to a working house fire on the city's west side early Thursday morning.
Crews arrived at the house near W 19th and N Centennial Streets just after 5 a.m. Thursday.
Officers said an elderly man was asleep inside when a good Samaritan broke into his house to wake him up and make sure he knew his house was on fire.
There were no working smoke detectors in the house, but thanks to the helpful neighbor, the man and his dog made it out of the burning house safely.
Firefighters have not yet identified the cause of the fire, but estimate it caused about $40 thousand in damages.
This story is ongoing and will be updated as more information becomes available.

Staff report
Need an approval from the city of Boca Raton? The number of trips to City Hall and the process of getting an answer from the city has gotten easier with the city's introduction of ProjectDox last month.
The new program allows the city's Planning and Zoning Division to accept applications and development plans online.
City officials say the new platform saves residents, architects, land use attorneys and developers time and money because the process is more efficient.
"This move to bring the Planning and Zoning Division online is part of a broader effort to increase efficiency, collaboration and document management among city departments, and to support a green initiative," said Sherilee Fairweather, the City's Business System Analyst who managed the project.
The City Council has advocated and set aside money for technology upgrades in 2009 and 2013. Over time, various city departments have moved to online platforms.
Also already available on the city's website are the City Council agendas and minutes was well as live and archived videos of meetings. Residents can also sign up to receive emergency alerts, the city's monthly e-news and meeting agendas to their email accounts.
The new online system allows all agencies and city boards to review the application in one place. Internal city departments can see the plans as well as outside agencies that may need to sign off including the Lake Worth Drainage District and the Boca Raton Airport Authority.
"There can be as many as 20 people reviewing documents, asking for clarification, making changes and comments," said Boca's Acting Development Services Deputy Director Jim Bell.

Give Back with Gifts this Easter – Gift Ideas for the Seniors In Your Life
Easter is a time for reflection and family. Whether your parents or grandparents live near or far, give back this Easter to those who have given you so much. With these gifts for the elderly, you can bring a smile to your loved one's face and brighten their day. Make this Easter one to remember!
Easter Basket
What better way to celebrate Easter than with an Easter basket? If you're looking for gifts for elderly relatives, look no further – with an Easter basket, you can tailor your gift around Mom and Dad's interests. If your mother, father, or grandparents love chocolate, you can indulge their sweet tooth with chocolates of all shapes and sizes. Do they like coffee? Throw in some whole beans for good measure! Better yet, an Easter basket allows you to include other small gifts as well, from little trinkets and novelty toys to gift cards and gift certificates. Are your loved ones still mobile? Include gift certificates for the local art museum or cinema among the mounds of chocolate.
Arts and Crafts
Arts and crafts make great gifts for seniors. Why settle for something store-bought (especially for the people in your life who already have everything) when you can give your loved one a home-made gift that they will cherish for years. Create a memorable keepsake that shows you put more than money into your loved one's Easter gift, and it will be adored for a lifetime. Consider making a scrapbook of your favorite memories, creating a collage of childhood photos, or putting together a cookbook of famous family recipes (with photos). No matter what you do, craft it with love, and it will be received with love.
Framed Photos
Like arts and crafts, framed photos make terrific gifts for elderly parents and grandparents. If your parents or grandparents are like most people, they have spent an entire lifetime accumulating things, and the last thing they need is likely more stuff. Gift them with positive memories instead, in the form of framed photographs. Consider giving them photos of their grandchildren, or photos from their youth. Find old photos that have been buried in boxes for years and years, and give them a new lease on life. Go with your heart and you can't go wrong!
Flowers are beautiful, aromatic, and a sign that Spring is right around the corner, making them a perfect Easter gift. Whether your parents or grandparents live at home, or in a long-term care or assisted living facility, flowers can brighten up any room. Have them delivered, or better yet, deliver them in person if you're able to yourself. And if you don't like the ideas of buying flowers because they have a short shelf life, consider buying a small potted plant instead – not only will it last years with proper maintenance, but it will give your loved one something to look after and care for, as well.
Games and Puzzles
Studies show that staying mentally active can help prevent dementia and Alzheimer's disease, among other psychological conditions. Puzzles and games are not only fun and diverting for people of older age, they can be tremendous tools for mental development. With mind puzzles and mentally stimulating games, like Sudoku and chess, your loved ones can exercise their brains regularly – something that watching television typically can't do. Consider traditional puzzles, math games, strategy games, and other brain challenges. Your loved ones will enjoy the challenge, and you'll be helping them stay mentally fit in the process.

Show Cause For Habitual Offenders
People holding a driver's licence are reminded that the Land Transport Authority (LTA) has made changes to its Show Cause Policy, with effect from May this year.
"Show Cause" is when habitual offenders are summoned before the LTA to explain why they should not have their licences suspended or cancelled.
"Habitual offenders pose a risk to themselves and to other road users so we have a moral obligation to get them off the roads," said LTA chief executive officer Carmine Piantedosi.
Under the updated Show Cause Policy, drivers who have committed five traffic offences of any nature within the last three years (2014–2017) will be issued with their first warning notice.
A second warning will be issued after a driver commits an additional five traffic offences within that same three years.
If a driver commits an additional five offences for a total of 15 offences within the three years, they will be summoned for "Show Cause."
"LTA wants to ensure that people can travel on the road without fearing for their lives or their loved ones," Mr Piantedosi said.
Under the previous policy, motorists could commit up to eight offences over an unspecified period of time before being called in to "Show Cause."
In 2016, under the previous policy, 164 drivers had their licences suspended and 331 drivers received warning letters; 11 had their full licences cancelled while eight Provisional Licenses were cancelled.

My first day of fairgrounds fetishing that stands out as a modern-day epic came at the 2006 Minnesota State Fair. I had been fetishing the state fairgrounds for several years already at that point, but that was the first day I had no distractions or sidetracks and was able to dedicate a full 12 hours to sightings, and the day delivered in spades. It was also the first day that I began my now long-standing practice of memorizing the serial numbers of my quality sightings, which of course is now a rite-of-passage for my fairgrounds writeups. I had already scored several impressive sightings by early afternoon but made a mental note that I was hoping for something good when I got my "lucky number", the 27th sightings of the day.
I was near the food building, where quality sightings have been known to occur in the commons area once people finish scarfing up their junk food, and I took a particular interest in a group of three 19-20ish hotties all dolled up and seated on the back bench near the Skyride. They were still eating, but I had a feeling about them, so I did a quick loop up the block in the hope that when I returned, they'd have extracted their "desserts" from their purses. They were getting up to leave just as I got back. My eyes were fixated on the two dark blonds in the group who seemed the most likely smokers of the bunch but they did not appear to have tobacco in their presence. And right when I was about to give up, I noticed the brunette in the group was wielding an all-white that seemed to come out of nowhere
As the three girls left the spot, the brunette was throwing her empty pack of Marlboro Lights away (I hope she had more in her purse!!!). All three girls were dolled up in flattering State Fair-esque attire, and this brunette's blue tanktop and denim mini-skirt certainly fit the bill. I followed the girls at a comfortable distance for the duration of her cigarette and enjoyed the brunette smoker's every exhale while admiring her body in that sexy summer outfit. She crushed out the cigarette on the sidewalk before entering some "Eco-System" water stand that offered samples of free bottled water. I waited outside for the girls to exit, hoping to see more tobacco consumption, but when they left and didn't spark up, I knew I'd have to settle for the one sighting. Still, another first-rate performance, and one that I really valued since I had to work for it and was duly rewarded. And interestingly, after several years of attaching serial numbers to my sightings, this brunette remains the best girl of any fetishing day that was my #27 sighting of the day.

Wes Palmer, also known as @wesdoeshair by his online following, has built an impressive Instagram page which boasts almost 200,000 followers. Fuse met with the Instagram expert to discover how he built his audience and what he believes is the future of Social Media.
The whole world is on social media now. I actually started out when Instagram just started. One of my buddies found it and showed it to me, and look where we are now!
When I first started out on Instagram, I literally had no idea what I was doing. It was just photos of me and my friends, and we used to use the filters because they were fun and we thought they looked cool, though looking back now they're laughable! I had no vision at the start when I joined Instagram; I hadn't planned to create a hair page.
I usually spend about two hours a day, which involves everything from planning out captions and editing my photos, to posting and engaging with my following and the Instagram community. I also incorporate stuff into my Stories to keep my engagement going all day.
I feel like I've really grown personally. I've become a stronger educator and I feel much more confident speaking on camera. It's also helped me to discover brands – I'm a part of TIGI now because of Social Media, so I really feel it's been life-changing for me.
First and foremost, it's important to create an attractive page. Your first nine photos on your grid are the most important. Then your bio is like your introduction. When you meet someone for the first time on a first date, they're going to judge you on that first 30 seconds, and that's like your bio. Then your pictures are how others are going to get to know you more.
"You have to be super consistent – consistency is key!"
Wes Palmer
You can literally talk to anyone you want through Instagram. If you want to talk to the CEO of any company, you can reach out to them. If you want to speak with your favourite artist, you can message them. Before Instagram, there was no way to do that but now, literally anything you want to do is at your fingertips; it's on our phone screens. We can make anything happen now through Social Media and Instagram.
You have to be super consistent – consistency is key! And you have to be patient. Don't try to copy other people. Find what you're good at and focus on that. Create good content and be consistent with it, then it will happen.
You need to make sure you have a happy medium of content. You need to include your personality in there because people want to know more about the person behind the page. It's best to keep it mostly hair-focused and then every now and then do something for yourself so people know who you are.
Before I post, I go through my feed and see what my pictures look like on the grid. When looking at those nine photos on your grid, you need to make sure that none of those photos look alike. Whether it's a photo that's up-close, or far away, try separating them with a collage, a photo of you, or throw in some videos. It has to be random but you don't want every photo to look the same or people will get bored of your page.
Man, I wish I knew the answer to that! Right now though, I feel Instagram is heading more towards Instagram TV (IGTV). I feel like they're trying to compete with YouTube so I think IGTV is going to be the next big thing when people start using it much more, along with Stories.

Should Chelsea move for Isco?
Background photo: I, Andrew, CC BY-SA 3.0
Isco Alcaron moves with the ball like a ballerina. The ball is always glued to the Real Madrid midfielder's feet. He has been an undeniable success at the Santiago Bernabeu following a big-money move from Malaga in 2013. He has been a crucial member of four Champions League winning teams but the Spanish international is finding things a little hard at the moment.
Since Santiago Solari's arrival as manager, Isco has struggled to fit into the new Merengues philosophy. Consequently, he's found minutes very hard to come by. With Solari favouring other players, rumours abound the player wants to leave the capital outfit in search of regular football. Chelsea rank among the clubs being mooted. Would Stamford Bridge be a good stomping ground for the ballerina?
New challenge
Isco achieved everything he can at Real Madrid. Perhaps it's time to accept a new challenge. After winning four Champions League titles in five years, Real Madrid looks like a team in decline. They've suffered badly this term, leading to Julen Lopetegui's sacking.
Playing in England represents a new challenge. Chelsea is not the top dog in the Premier League at the moment. Their status sets Isco up as a possible hero should he come in and prove the difference. Given the depth and quality in the English top flight, the Spaniard will need to be at the top of his game every weekend. Meeting that demand will take his game to another level.
The national team
Playing in England won't hamper his chances for the national team. It might even make him indispensable. Cesc Fabregas, Santi Cazorla, David Silva, and Juan Mata played in the Premier League for years while still representing their country.
Playing well in the Premier League garners attention. The spotlight would shine on Isco. Luis Enrique would have no choice but to select him. That won't happen while he wastes away on the Real Madrid bench. He'll need regular minutes and his best form to earn a spot in the starting XI for Euro 2020.
The West End
Who doesn't want to live in London? The capital is the prime location in England, with West London being the home of the elite. Why not Chelsea then? The FA Cup holders are an attractive proposition for any player who also wants to soak in his celebrity. There are several Spaniards in the Chelsea team already, with the aforementioned Fabregas, Cesar Azpilicueta, Marcos Alonso, Pedro, Alvaro Morata and Kepa, Isco should have help settling into a new squad, adapting to the culture and language and dealing with any homesickness.
Chelsea manager, Maurizio Sarri revels in a bewitching style that should suit Isco with its short passing style. Chelsea needs a player that who can unlock defences with vision and creativity while also possessing the energy and mobility to press high and win the ball. Chelsea's current batch of midfielders are adapting well to the Italian's system, but they lack those qualities.
Isco will be a perfect signing for Chelsea. It's up to the board to make this deal happen.
