Remote work opens a world of possibilities for today's workforce. With the flexibility to work from home or abroad, employees have more freedom than ever before. While it's certainly liberating to avoid long commutes and office hours, unfortunately, remote workers pay a price for their flexible work schedules.
Remote work loneliness affects nearly every worker at some point, with nearly one-fourth reporting that it's their number one problem with working from home or as a digital nomad. Luckily, there are ways to combat the feeling of remote work isolation. Here are ten tips to try the next time you feel like you are working on a deserted island.
1. Use technology
Technology companies have risen to meet the rapidly growing numbers of remote workers and digital nomads with tools and applications to create connections. Whether it's a video call, instant messaging, internet-based phone calls or social media, your colleagues and friends are a simple click away and some of them, like PukkaTeam, offer a virtual workplace that will allow you to interact more much naturally with your team members.
2. Try a co-working space
The peace and quiet of your home office or hotel room might be welcoming on most days, but sometimes human beings simply crave the presence of other humans. We're inherently social creatures. For that reason, co-working spaces are cropping up all over the world. These spaces allow digital nomads, entrepreneurs and remote workers to join others to work, connect, eat, and recharge in a shared environment. It can even increase productivity to get the thoughts and ideas of other like-minded workers. If you're part of a team of remote workers, consider meeting at a co-working space a few days a month to reconnect and fight the feeling of work-at-home isolation as a team.
3. Find a "home base"
If you are a digital nomad, traveling from location to location, you may start to develop a sense that you don't "belong" anywhere. To combat this subconscious feeling of digital nomad isolation, look for a "home base." It doesn't have to be your actual home, but the simple act of choosing a location to come back to for a few days to center and reconnect with a familiar environment and familiar people can go a long way in creating a sense of belonging.
4. Network with intention
Thanks to social media and mobile technology, it's easier than ever to stay connected with friends, family, and colleagues from around the world. Use your social media contacts to arrange networking and social meet-ups when you're working in a new city.
Post an update about where you'll be traveling next and invite your connections in the area to join you for dinner or coffee. Digital nomads and remote workers must be intentional about networking, but with a little bit of effort, the result is a wider social and professional circle and a sense of belonging no matter where in the world you happen to be working.
5. Develop healthy habits
One of the best ways to combat remote work or digital nomad loneliness is to develop and maintain habits that support your mental and physical health. If you don't get enough sleep or eat a healthy diet, it can throw your life off-balance. Habits like a daily walk or trip to the gym not only give you a mood boost from endorphins but it also increases the amount of time you spend interacting with other people outside of your workspace.
6. Try a new work environment
Many remote workers find that their productivity and sense of connection is lifted through a simple change of scenery. It could be as easy as working from your patio one afternoon instead of your office or working a few hours from a coffee shop you've wanted to try. Often, a simple break in the monotony of our routines can jolt us out of a feeling of isolation and help connect us to what's happening in the world around us.
7. Use flexibility to your advantage
One of the biggest benefits of working remotely is the flexibility it offers. Provided your boss is on board with it, use that freedom to your advantage. If you find that you are more productive after a long run in the morning, take the run and then start your workday a bit later. If you have a friend flying in from out of town, take a long lunch break to meet up with them. If you do your work well and continue to meet deadlines, flexibility can be the fastest path to defeating loneliness.
8. Make socializing a priority
While the idea of proactively socializing might sound overwhelming to some, digital nomads and remote workers must make it a priority to fight loneliness. Consciously schedule outings with friends and then write them into your calendar as you would an appointment. You'll be less likely to cancel. Even the smallest acts like smiling or complimenting a stranger on their shoes can open the door for human connections that make a difference in the struggle against isolation.
9. Visit HQ
If your company has a centralized location or offices in varying locations, attempt to visit your office-based teammates periodically. It not only increases your visibility within the company, but it gives you the chance to forge relationships with co-workers through face-to-face interaction and provides the opportunity to catch up on "water cooler conversations."
10. Find your tribe
Are there other remote workers from your organization who work in nearby areas or cities? Even if you don't work for the same business unit or team, you will find value in reaching out to connect with them. In doing so, you'll have a new group of people who navigate the same challenges with remote work.
Similarly, look for remote workers and digital nomad communities and forums online to connect with a brand new network of people that share a common work style. There are usually many events and meetups organized also by digital nomads or expats living there and that you can find in Facebook or Meetup. Take a look at our "Places to Live guides" where for each city we feature we include a list of groups, coworkings and events you can meet people.
If you have a harder time to do it so by yourself, and you're traveling the world as a digital nomad, you can also stay at coliving spaces where it will be easier to meet other people, or join a digital nomad program such as Remote Year, where you will be joining a group of other remote working professionals.
It takes just 20 seconds of eye contact to make a connection with someone and elevate your mood. Use the tools, tips, and technology available to remote workers and digital nomads to fight loneliness and stay productive.

The Dragons' Den was a tavern in the town of Thunderstone in Cormyr in the late 1360s DR, owned by Oleg One-Ear.
The tavern was taken over by the rowdy Purple Dragons garrison in town, quite against Oleg's original wishes, but he knew to mind his own business.
It became the soldiers' own hangout, and catered exclusively to them. Civilians who dared step inside without a Purple Dragon companion—and this happened only rarely—were likely to be pelted with tankards and even chairs. Those who persisted were beaten up and thrown out.
With patrons like these, the Den had no need of a bouncer.[1]

Gardener`s Diary is a regular feature of laterlife.com
run by Rosemary Martin.
An introduction from Rosemary...
I have been gardening now for about thirty years, long enough for my husband
to know that it`s wise to bury his head in a newspaper when I get the secateurs out...
I don`t have a
favourite style of gardening, traditional is nice, but I also think the modern
trends work well. Plants in my garden have to be resilient as they get moved around
frequently, and my husband has been heard to mutter I don`t remember
that tree being there this morning..
I have enjoyed many leisure activities over the years, but only gardening has endured,
with this column adding a new dimension to it, which will hopefully help
others find pleasure in this healthy and therapeutic pastime ...
Please e-mail me with your garden
problems, comments, or ideas for this section of laterlife,
remembering to tell me which country you are from..

Thirty seventh edition - May 2004
We saw typical April showers last month, which was good
for gardeners everywhere. Not so good were those heavy frosts which caught
some early new growth, leaving it blackened. If you have frost damaged
plants, just cut the damaged parts out and soon you won`t see the
There seems to be some confusion over which
garden chemicals were banned last year: Have a look at
this link for a
list of banned substances. Any old chemicals should be disposed of with
great care too. You will find the necessary information on that website too.
I took all old chemicals from our shed to our local household waste
department for them to dispose of.. Don't forget too that you can be fined
heavily if any of the banned chemicals are found on your premises!

Do not let the warmer days of May lull you into forgetting the tasks that
must now be tackled. This is the time of year when plans for beds and
borders should be put into action. Take cuttings, sow biennial seeds and
don`t forget any pruning tasks.
Try giving
bulbs a liquid feed or a sprinkle of Growmore for an even better display
next year, and leave daffodil leaves to die down naturally which will take
about six weeks. When tulips are finished flowering you can lift them and
heel them in elsewhere for the bulbs to ripen. I never bother to do this and
leave them in situ. There are a few less each year which are easily added
to... Last autumn I planted lots of miniature tulips and daffodils, dotted
around in groups, which are in flower just now and looking great
Keep new
lawns damp and treat existing lawns with weed and feed, not forgetting to
apply it according to instructions. A going over
with an electric scarifier first rips out all the moss and rubbish. My lawn
has been cared for by
http://www.greenthumb.co.uk for the last 9 months or so,
due to the battering it had from my two labradors charging around on it all
day, and I must say it is now looking splendid!
tender plants from late frosts, with newspaper or horticultural fleece, and
start hardening off summer bedding plants by taking them out of the
greenhouse and putting them in cold frames. Don`t plant them out till the
end of May. Maintain the greenhouse humidity and avoid red spider mite
by damping it down with the hosepipe, and shade the plants from too much sun.
Plant up your baskets and tubs using Phostrogen "Basketmate", a mixture of
slow release plant food granules and water storing crystals, which can be
bought from your supermarket, DIY store or garden centre.
fences and walls
fence support posts and make sure that supports for climbing plants are
strong enough. Why not give your fence a spring coat of paint with one of
the new colours? Are the walls safe? Put weedkiller on paths taking care
to read instructions regarding pets. If the winter has left your paths slippery with moss remove
it by power washing or specialist path cleaner.
growing formal hedges should have their first light clipping at the end of
this month. Don`t let newly planted conifers or other
hedging plants dry out, and mulch if possible. Remember to be a considerate
neighbour by not letting your
boundary conifer hedging get too high.
Strawberries in flower must be protected from late frosts. Watch out for the
birds on fruit bushes and cover with netting if necessary.
for cutting
biennials and perennials for next years flower arrangements, and start
training those sweet peas up their supports. How about growing some of the
smaller variety of wallflowers, which together with miniature daffodils and
tulips look so delicate. For a couple of years now I have been buying
packets of `throw and grow` annual seeds that save me a lot of time fiddling
about with labour intensive bedding plants. And they are so pretty...
Herbaceous plants
plants and feed them weekly. I use Miracle-Gro with the dispenser that
attaches to the hose pipe so everything in the garden gets fed... Keep the
borders weed free and mulched and watch out for aphids on your plants. They
seem to be less fussy what they land on with each year that passes.
and water features
Clear the
debris and moss from water features and change the water if necessary,
taking care not to disturb any wildlife that has made a home there. Check
the electrical system is safe. Make preparations for new aquatic plants in
the pond, taking care not to disturb any fish that may be getting ready to
spawn. Remove any unwanted frog or toad spawn.

On September 1, 2017 Jackson Polys (aka Stephen Paul Jackson and Stron Softi) gave an artist talk about his work on the Seward shame pole that was raised in Saxman Totem Park in April, 2017.
Jackson's Seward pole is the third iteration. The original pole was erected after Secretary of State William Seward's 1869 visit to southeast Alaska. The Tlingit honored Seward with a potlatchand gifts that he did not reciprocate, which led to the creation of the ridicule pole. In 1941, theoriginal pole was replaced by a Civilian Conservation Corps replica. In 2014, the second pole had deteriorated beyond repair and Jackson was selected to create a replacement. Jackson's version features a more detailed carving of Seward's face than its predecessor, a tribute to the original pole.
Jackson is a carver and visual artist based in Ketchikan and New York.He began carving with his father, Tlingit master carver Nathan Jackson, and obtained a BA in Art History and Visual Arts in 2013 and an MFA in visual arts in 2015 from Columbia University.

There seems to be some excitement going on in the ecommerce field, at least in the US retail area. Amazon.com, currently known as the largest online retailer, may be getting into a position where another giant may be entering on its market. It seems that online search giant Google, based on their recent acquisitions, may be trying to get a share of the online retailing market.
Recent reports say that Google is on the verge of acquiring online coupon service Groupon to somehow possibly boost up its initial foray in the field. And Amazon.com may not be looking at this without doing anything. Just recently, Amazon also has invested in Groupon's smaller competitor in the online coupon market, LivingSocial to the tune of $175 million.
Now that both competitors have been trying to get some further foothold on market share, it would be quite exciting times ahead and would certainly bring a boost to ecommerce in one way or the other. In the case of LivingSocial, it certainly needed a boost in terms of investment to fuel its further growth worldwide. The giants may be investing in them not necessarily for their popularity, but for the scope of sales opportunities that may be able to bring.
Sites like Groupon and LivingSocial have grown with a steady network of users that act as an organized sales group. It would certainly help Google's aim to establish its own market online that may effectively make it less dependent on online search revenues alone. In the case of Amazon, well it might just be trying to stretch out its reach by trying out other means to further widen its reach.

In light of the possibility that a Democrat could win the Presidency in November, giving them control of the White House and both houses of Congress, it's worth pointing out what Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean said in 2005…
We need more than one party in charge. And the vote on Tuesday is going to be critical to decide whether American democracy still allows those of us who didn't vote for the president to have any say in running the country whatsoever.
Someday, the Democrats will be back in charge again. Do we want a Democratic Party that's in charge of everything? Well, you know, I suppose it's my job to say yes. But the truth is, as an American, it's better when parties share power. It's better when even those people who didn't win the election have something to say.
[There] is a culture of corruption and abuse of power in Washington. This is what happens when one party is in charge of everything.
Henke, of course goes on to ask if Dean still thinks that way, knowing full well he doesn't. Everything with those idiots is relative to their paths to power.
Ya know, Maybe it's time I spell this out, and Henke's comments… well taken, so far as they go… (I've always been suspicious of the idea of a government split by party lines as being a panecea…) …are as good a place as any to jump this off from.
I'm no fan of the Republican party, per se'.
Did you get that? Go read it again.
If you have questions, go read the line above, yet again, and continue reading it until you understand it, because until you do nothing else I will say here will make any sense.
I have said often enough here and elsewhere that I view the Republicans as the best tool with which to defeat the Democrats, but that's as far as my love for the GOP goes. That's a position I continue to hold, today. Interestingly, it's a position I expressed in relationship to Henke himself, just over a year ago:
…it has been and always will be about the ideas. That goes for him or anyone else. When I have gone after Jon, it's been about the ideas. I hold neither love, nor hate for Henke, any more than I hold particular love or hate for the Republican party. Rather, I see the Republican party at the moment to be the best tool in efforts to defeat America's worst enemy; the Democrats.
For the last decade or so there has been nothing in the makeup of the Republican party that has made me consider as possible, much less likely, that such a perception will ever change, except for the negative. There is nothing there to endear the party to me, and in the last six months or so, that lack has been confirmed in a way that I freely admit, I never foresaw. I took McCain's loss in 2000, as a rejection of the liberalism he's been fighting for, and a reaffirmation Reagansim. Of course, that's changed. ANd his claims not withstanding, he's not a Reaganite by any stretch of the word. We knew Ronald Reagan, and this man is no Reagan.
It pains me, my friends, to see the Republicans so fragmented, but hurts worse to see them so gladly reject their principles to embrace John McCain, for the sake of the party. What about for principle and for country?
I have openly wondered, here and elsewhere, if abstaining from voting…. if deciding, loudly, to not endorse John McCain with my vote is the best way to go. I still consider that an open question because I've seen nothing to convince me it's not the best path, here.
There's one thing and one thing only, that has been keeping me from committing to sitting at home on election day… The idea that either of the Democrats will be worse than McCain. At the moment, and for the foreseeable future, that's a close call… and frankly, too close a call to make, at least on domestic issues.
With McCain's signing on so willingly to the global warming scam, And several other points on domestic policy, I am very concerned that we won't be able to see much difference between Hillary Clinton and John McCain. As I've said, I cannot see fitting water between them, on domestic issues.
Now with John McCain and his apparent coronation, I find even less chance for an optimistic outlook for the GOP. You see, I had figured on Republicans beating the Democrats as Reagan did; by BEING Republicans,not by becoming Democrat wannabees, as McCain has done. What I have been always about is the advancement of the principles that the Republican party stood for back in the day…. principles which I have complained bitterly through the Bush years they've given mere lip service to, and which they've abandoned outright with McCain. Remember, dear reader, the reason McCain lost his presidential bid back in 2000 was he was seen as being to the left of George W. Bush, who himself was seen at best as a centrist. Now McCain is leading the race. So it is that within the space of one two-term presidency, we have seen conservative values utterly abandoned by the GOP… values which I have always fought for and voted for. And at this point it's logical to ask if telling the party to take a hike isn't the best course.
But, I'm not just talking about domestic issues, here. The Democrats and McCain are about equal in domestic policy… so the judgment must be made on other ground.
The issue involving the war on Terror are very much on my mind in all of this. McCain's insistence on giving terrorists 'constitutional rights' is misguided in the extreme, and given another option, would be enough to disqualify the man from the office he has now, much less the one he seeks. But we don't HAVE another option, barring Romney doing well in the remaining states, or at the convention, which leaves us with a choice between Democrats who have been playing both sides of the war against the middle, and McCain, whose apparent dedication to winning the thing, (his leanings about the treatment of terrorists aside) is just about the only attractive feature he has.
It pains me, but that one point may force me to consider a Vote for McCain in the General election. My fear is this sends the party the wrong message… that McCain's overt leftist nonsense, is acceptable.
Further, we have the issue of the south; No Republican has won without it since Lincoln. McCain lost it in the primary, and the noise I'm hearing suggests that a goodly amount of those in the south who went elsewhere, will NEVER vote for McCain in the general election… thus making the White House unattainable, anyway.
No matter what, we have a very unattractive option.
And I have no answers for all of this.
I will note for the record that given a McCain presidency, we will have plenty to write about here. With the party so fractured over McCain's liberalism, however, I wonder now if even THAT is attainable.

Series: Rise of the Temple Gods #2
By: KL Bone
Publication Date: March 5, 2015
Genre: Fantasy
"Fear to the fearless. Hope to the hopeless. Mercy to those who hate you. Death to those who love you. That is your destiny, Princess of Kale, Princess of Koloso, heir to both." – Prophecy of the Kalian Twins The struggle for the throne intensifies as twin Princesses Ameria and Mariana are forced to contend with their bitter rivalry and haunted past. In this sequel to Heir to Kale, the sisters learn that they must first expose the secrets of their past before they can begin to unveil their shadowed destiny.

She must navigate a labyrinth of rival families, powerful lords, and the ever-widening rift between those who serve the Temples and those who do not. Unprepared and still grieving the loss of her mentor, Mariana must decide for herself what is right for the kingdom and who, if anyone, can be trusted. Meanwhile, Princess Ameria is more determined than ever to discover the true identity of her father's killer and is willing to risk everything in order to find the answers she seeks. Embarking upon a quest which takes her from gleaming Temples to darkened castles, she endeavors to learn the truth about her family, the Prophecy, and the future of the Kingdom. Eventually turning to her estranged grandfather, the powerful and dangerous Lord Riccard, Ameria uncovers a truth about her family's past from which will threaten to challenge the very foundations of her beliefs. However, as the sisters come closer to revealing their past and the prophecy which haunts their future, the wraiths watch from the shadows, an ever-present reminder that time is running out and that the fight for the throne looms upon the horizon.

As I open my kindle and read the first few lines I am immediately transported back to this magical world. This book follows straight on from Heir to Kale and in this book we get to know the back story and all the questions we had from the first book were answered in this one. We were also reaquainted with all the drama from the temples and the lives of Mary, Kyle, Ameria and the rest of the students as well as defendants and we also see the introduction of some new characters and there was also a few twists one I definately didn't see coming. I loved this story and Oh My what an ending! We are left with a massive cliff hanger which will have you begging for more. I have loved the last book as well as this book and I can't tell you how excited I was to learn that there is gonna be a 3rd book.
I received this book for an honest review.

This weekend was the Festival of the Little Hills in St. Charles, so I wanted to go to a Church nearby. I had wanted to go to St. Peter which is in old St. Charles, but they are in the process of restoring their stained glass windows so I decided I would come back when they were all complete! I had planned to go to St. Cletus for Lifeteen, but I managed to finish at the Festival in time to go to 11:30 am Mass at St. Robert Bellarmine. (Someone asked how I picked churches, so I thought I'd share a bit of the thought process).
St. Robert Bellarmine was built in 1964 and is decorated in a style reminiscent of that time. There were lots of browns, reds, and oranges. The stained glass windows were more symbolic and there were only 2 statues in the nave/sanctuary of the Church. The tabernacle was off to the side in a little chapel like area.
Mass was pretty full.
The choir area is off to the side as well and is about in the middle of the nave. The music was accompanied by either the organ or the piano, depending on the piece.
Opening: Gather Us In
Offertory: Eye Has Not Seen
Communion: In Perfect Charity and Shelter Me O God
Closing: Church of God, Elect and Victorious (Same tune has Alleluia Sing to Jesus)
Father's homily started off by asking if we really meant what we just said "Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ" Not everyone is going to get into Heaven. It's God's judgement as to who gets in, not ours. It's not about having Faith, but about how you live. Every one has been redeemed, but not everyone is going to make it. What is your response? How have we built the Kingdom of God? How have we lived and brought other people to God? (How many converts do I need???) It's not about being nice (WOOT! I'm in!). It's about being a follower of God. You can't go to Heaven alone (Uhm...I'm taking Jake. Thanks) You have to make a difference in someone's life. Only God makes the judgement. We only have the hope of being saved. Are we known by God? We have all kinds of freedom; it's about how we respond. God is demanding. I really thought this homily could have been summed up by "There is no try, only do" from the Gospel according to Yoda.
Father did some adlibbing here and there. I noticed in the Eucharistic Prayer where you pray for the Pope, Bishops and clergy, Father added and ministers. We are now praying for Protestant ministers? Wut?
Father used Eucharistic Prayer II and there were bells at the Consecration. There was hand raising at the Our Father.

Close Up of Sanctuary Wall

I'm not sure.
I see waves.
To the Left of St. Joseph and Mary
The Eighth Station
Think this is supposed to represent St. Joseph
It was next to the Saw window in a little prayer area/cry room
Windows in the Choir Area
These windows ran along the top of the nave.
I'm not sure what they all represent.
Burning Bush?
Tree of Life?
The window is dark on top because of an overhang.

No Web site. Some goods and applications are telling you that you don`t require a website. This is a misguided guidance! You require a web site!

These that try to produce and manage an online marketing company without an eyesight or distinct-cut objectives will find on their own floundering at occasions and often veering off course. Simply because they have absolutely nothing to goal for, they are much more apt to fall short or not do as nicely as they should or could.

Upon decorating our Christmas tree, my son lamented, "I wish an elf would visit." That statement surprised me because I remember the Elf on the Shelf experience he had had when we visited family for Christmas a few years ago...he didn't like it. My sensitive little guy grew increasingly anxious about being bad. And then when Christmas had passed he exclaimed with relief, "I'm so glad that Elf is gone!"
Craving Holiday Magic
Clearly my child is craving a magical experience. One that comes with the ideas of fancy fantastical creatures that bring love and joy to our world. I thought about all the Alternatives to Elf on the Shelf that I have heard about but one thing keeps nagging at me. It is this:
kindness and generosity are aspirations worthy of year-round attention.
That is when it occurred to me to create a new tradition. By creating my own elves I could do two things: use them to solve a problem and teach the Elf on the Shelf the power of positivity, and I could kick off a year's worth of kindness curriculum (for lack of a better term).
Adventures in ING
So begins the Adventures in ING. In the coming months I hope to make one pair of elves for each month and an accompanying list of ideas that explore each core concept. Here is the first draft of our year of Adventures in ING:
December - Giving
January - Smiling
February - Loving
March - Reading
April - Planning, Planting
May - Blooming
June - Adventuring
July - Listening
August - Dreaming
September - Teaching
October - Changing
November - Thanking

Academic experience
The courses I took in English: International Perspective, Geopolitics, North American Regional Scenario
The courses I took in Spanish: Social Internship A, Español Intermedio 1
I liked the smaller class sizes in Tec and the way you could actually get to know your teachers and classmates in this system.
Challenges: pretty much all of my assignments were group projects which were hard with the cultural differences. Also, the system at Tec is a lot like high school in the way you have to attend all of your classes, so that takes some getting used to, but the coursework is much lighter than at UQ so you have plenty of spare time to travel.
Personal experience
The best skill I gained from the experience was the big improvement in my Spanish, spoken and written. Also due to the academic load at Tec, I was able to travel so much to so many amazing places, and doing this while learning about Mexican politics in class was really interesting. I definitely also gained social confidence, as you have to put yourself out there a lot to make friends initially on exchange.
I lived in a share house off campus. It was only a 10-minute walk from uni, and that was great as some of my classes started quite early. Also if you live close to uni, you are also very close to all the big grocery stores, which is very convenient. For future students, I would definitely recommend arriving in Queretaro a week early in order to find accommodation in a share house through Facebook sites or just by talking to people. Don't book into the on-campus accommodation, it is very overpriced and has strangely strict security arrangements
I think the advice UQ gives of budgeting $10 000 - $12 000 is accurate, especially if you want to travel a lot. However, compared with in Australia, food, transport and accommodation are so much cheaper in Mexico, so if you were careful with your budget you could probably spend much less than that.
Professional development and employability
I have developed confidence and greater skills in communicating in a different language and with people of lots of different cultural backgrounds. Doing an internship in Queretaro also helped to develop my professional skills a lot and these skills will definitely aid my professional development.
The highlight of my experience was getting to know the Mexican culture and people. It is an amazing country with incredibly friendly people and a fascinating ancient culture that you learn a lot about while travelling. I also loved learning to adopt the relaxed pace of Mexican life.
Top tips
- Try to learn the language before you go, and save up your electives so that you can take Spanish lessons as an elective while you are abroad.
- Travelling in Mexico without Spanish skills is a waste as you learn so much from speaking to local people and going off the tourist trail, and it is hard to do this if you only speak English.

Fire Department recommends to prepare your home for cooler weather
COLUMBIA – As temperatures begin to cool, it is time for people to prepare their homes for winter. Boone County Assistant Fire Chief Gale Blomenkamp said it's important to take preventative measures.
"Make sure gutters are cleaned, unhook garden hoses from outside spigots so they do not freeze and break pipes," Blomenkamp said. "Most of all, get your heating and air-conditioning checked by a professional and your chimney and flue checked too."
Blomenkamp said carbon monoxide is the "silent killer." He said homeowners should check their detectors and make sure they work properly. He recommends replacing carbon monoxide detectors if they are more than seven years old.
The fire department said they don't necessarily see more fires during the winter months, but instead they see fires happen from different causes. The holiday season brings on more cooking fires, especially when people are distracted with family and friends visiting.
Blomenkamp said alternative heating such as fire places or wood burning stoves can spark chimney and attic fires.
"We see some fires started from electric heaters because they are placed too close to combustibles," Blomenkamp said.
Along with winterizing homes, Blomenkamp said people should also prepare for winter driving. He recommends checking your tires, windshield wipers and lights. It is also smart to increase your driving time in harsher weather conditions.

As we count down the weeks and days until Christmas this year, I thought it would be interesting to share our ideas, beliefs, and experiences about the holiday season and Christmas. I know it may seem a wee bit early, but the Christmas lights are already being put up all around town.
Over the next few weeks, I will be hosting friends who have agreed to share their ideas with us in the form of an interview. My first guest is the fabulous Bonnie Trachtenberg.
Bonnie is the multi-award-winning, bestselling author of Wedlocked: A Novel, Neurotically Yours: A Novel, and The Fine Art of Delusional Thinking. She writes a monthly relationship and advice column for Love a Happy Ending Lifestyle Magazine. Bonnie was senior writer and copy chief at Book-of-the-Month Club and has written seven children's book adaptations. She has also written for three newspapers and penned countless magazine articles. She lives in New York with her husband, four cats, and a dog.
1. Do you celebrate Christmas?
I don't exactly celebrate Christmas as I am Jewish, but since I grew up with Christmas Envy (Chanukah just isn't the same), over the years I've developed my own Christmas rituals that bring me joy during the holiday season. These include eggnog flavoured coffee, hot spiced cider, gingerbread cookies, and old Christmas movies watched while still in my pyjamas.
2. Have you ever spent Christmas alone?
Yes, but my favourite Christmas shows on TV kept me company.
3. Have you ever had a non-traditional Christmas dinner? What did you have?
I do every year; it's called Chinese food!
4. What are your thoughts on gift giving?
I hate shopping in crowds and I never know what to get people, so around this time of year I tend to be grateful for being Jewish! LOL However, I do donate to charities and this keeps me in the holiday spirit.
5. What was the most fun activity you've done at Christmas?
Ice skating. I'd never done it before and I've never done it since, but I had a blast!
6. Do you have stockings either at Christmas, or on St. Nicholas Day?
I used to hang my knee socks on our oven, and my mom filled them with Chanukah gelt (chocolate coins). These days I save my calories for Godiva.
7. What was the best gift you ever received at Christmas?
My Grandpa Sol took me to the city at Christmas time and we spent a lovely day together. I'll always treasure that memory.
8. What was the worst gift you ever received at Christmas?
I don't recall; I must have blocked it from my memory. 😉
9. What do you do with gifts you hate?
Give them to people I think might appreciate them.
10. What would you change about Christmas?
The traffic.
11. What would you keep the same if you could?
The good cheer and the eggnog.
12. What is your favourite Christmas music or song?
Little Saint Nick by The Beach Boys
13. What do you like best about Christmas?
The wonderful old movies: Christmas in Connecticut, Miracle on 34th Street, A Christmas Carol (only the Alastair Sim version!), March of the Wooden Soldiers, It's a Wonderful Life, to name just a few. I DVR them during the year so I can watch them on Christmas, and I never seem to tire of them.
14. Any additional thoughts about Christmas.
It still beats the heck out of Chanukah! LOL

CRESTVIEW — An Antioch Elementary School fundraiser has sparked some concern about students' self esteem.
An Antioch student's parent was shocked when she received a permission form for the school's Homecoming Court, a fundraiser organized by the Parent Teacher Organization. For the benefit, students who raise the most money win crowns. The parent wanted to remain anonymous but her friend, Cheri Buckmaster, wanted answers from the school.
"Just wondering what is going on at Antioch Elementary School," Buckmaster said. "Money over students' self esteem? May the rich folks win and forget about the ones that don't have any money. This is the worst idea I have seen coming from a school; they need to put themselves in detention.
"I understand the schools needing funds, but surely there is a way where all students are winners and there are no losers."
According to the flyer, each class nominates a girl and a boy; the student who raises the most money wins a crown that will be awarded the morning of Sept. 22. There are two categories: kindergarten to second grade will compete for homecoming prince or princess, and third to fifth grade will compete for king or queen. Each grade level's winners will represent the school as part of the homecoming court.
The prince, princess, king and queen will receive large crowns, whereas court members who also participated will receive small crowns. The winners and the court will be featured in the yearbook and invited to ride in a float during the Crestview High School homecoming parade.
According to a sheet sent home to parents, each child will be allowed to place a container in the lunchroom until Sept. 20 and classmates may place change in the containers for the nominee of their choice. Students may also place containers at local businesses, and community members may sponsor the children.
All money collected will go toward classroom improvements, according to the handout.
A News Bulletin reporter contacted Antioch Elementary on Sept. 12 and 13 and never received a call back. When the reporter contacted the school again on Sept. 14, the administration declined to comment on the subject.
According to Henry Kelley, the Okaloosa County School District's director of community affairs, all fundraisers have to be approved at a district level and the school board has certain rules in place for fundraisers.
"The fundraiser was conducted in accordance with school board policy, and parents always have the option to opt in or opt out of a school's fundraiser," Kelley said.
Buckmaster said she tried contacting the school and members of the school board, but never heard back. She also posted a message on the school district's Facebook page, but she said she could not find it on the page after posting it.
Yet her concern remains.
"They have enough competition in middle and high school; why start this early with these sweet innocent children," Buckmaster said.
"They are too young to learn money talks."

Springtime at last!Read Now
Everything is more colourful: narcissus, muscari, pansies, primulas, tulips, herbs in the fairy garden, star magnolia. it's so much lighter. The heavy feeling has shifted. My yoga teacher has made a full recovery. April's garden is beautiful, red- tailed bees are dashing about, courting bird song of blackcaps, chaffinches, sparrows and seagull all in a heady chorus. Spring has sprung!
Pearl's a SingerRead Now
A neighbour let me play with an antique manual (not a treadle) singer sewing machine that was in a pitiful neglected state when he came across it. It was covered in cobwebs, full of dirt and dust, but I knew that Singers usually work if all the parts are there. The wheel turned, just about; the bobbin winder was stuck solid with grim, on the positive side the long bobbin was in the bobbin shuttle. I'd not used a long bobbin before so this was an interesting challenge.
I looked on the Singer site to find out the date of the serial number. No. 12321485, and came up with the year 1894. Not that original as about 562,000 had been manufactured that year. I found a diagram there about how to thread a long bobbin. I also went on you tube and found how to oil and clean a vintage long bobbin machine by Lizzie Lenard, She has a very helpful blog for vintage quilters too.
I must say I found a pastry brush, and inter-dental toothbrushes, and metal polish most useful for the cleaning task. It was only when polishing the metal badge on the front of the machine that I realised that the emblem was a bobbin shuttle. 'Pearl' now positively gleams, works well if simply; a wonderful piece of nineteenth century engineering.
,A few years ago I remember reading a blog where the blogger called her singer sewing machine Pearl, made me smile at the time. As this one has now found a new lease of life and is singing again, I will dedicate this one to that blogger (sorry I don't know her name or her blog any more), and my fondness for Elkie Brooks!
Leaving The LakesRead Now
Spent a lovely day with Sean, Victoria and Jura, as they were shortly moving from Keswick up to Fort William. Walking out from The Lingholm Estate www.thelingholmestate.co.uk after a bite to eat at the Lingholm kitchen cafe and shop to Derwent Water, very misty, always beautiful. Ubiquitous daffodils steal the show and some gorgeous red rhododendrons, Alpacas and a selfie.
Easter BunnyRead Now
A new Easter bunny, Parsnip, is happily sitting in a basket with chocolate chicks and bunnies. Parsnip's soft fur is made with velour furnishing fabric, with blue spotted cotton ears. Dressed a little hastily last night and slept in his clothes to make an appearance this morning; from recycled baby T-shirt and trousers. His eyes, mouth and claws are coloured embroidery thread. I think he will be sporting some better clothes very soon.
A sweet little duckling card from my sister Ang. A painted boiled egg for breakfast. I still like the tradition of painting real eggs, even with no children here. Crafting and sewing makes me happy, 'good when times are difficult or stressful, and a pleasure at anytime.'
Two little hearts made for friends I meet at a weekly aqua zumba class and have coffee afterwards. One friend, her Mother died last week at the amazing age of 101. To think of all the historical events she has lived through - and changes witnessed. . . two world wars. . .
A photo on a card, poppies from the weeping window at Hereford Cathedral, sent to me last week from a dear friend, Denise. I haven't done her photo justice as she's managed to take the poppies with snow in the foreground. The poppies are there until the 29th April; part of a touring 5 year arts programme connecting people with the First World War. www.herefordcathedral.org I don't think I will get to see them so its lovely to have this picture. . . Thinking of my friends, the poppies, . . . thoughts of my own dear Mum and Dad, both passed away - my Mum fifteen years ago last week, and my Dad thirty-four years ago last week. . My eldest son's birthday born thirty- four years ago, Sean, from the Irish, meaning, 'gracious, - a gift from God', one of my most precious gifts.
A Buddha, my new garden ornament; a wonderful unexpected gift from my current yoga teacher. She has been ill with a chest infections and difficulty breathing (a real worry for a yoga teacher) for the past six weeks, I offered and have taught the class for the past two weeks. My insurance is valid even though I haven't taught for two years due to moving and Brian's medical appointments. Teaching again has been a privilege and a pleasure. The Buddha is sitting in the sunshine among the daffodils.
It is Easter Sunday, Christ is risen; for me there is no conflict between Buddha and Christ. Compassion, forgiveness, passion, a nurturing gentle breath of life, resurrection. Love, light and happiness are all. Happy Easter X

NAR CEO Issues Challenge to State, Local Associations
August 13, 2019
In the spirit of giving back—a cornerstone of the real estate industry's philosophy—National Association of REALTORS® CEO Bob Goldberg announced Tuesday that NAR has partnered with the Food Recovery Network, a nonprofit led by college students, to donate unserved meals at association conferences to local food banks.
Goldberg made the announcement at NAR's Leadership Summit in Chicago, where hundreds of state and local association executives are gathering this week for education and training sessions. "We serve all this food at these conferences, and at the end of the day, we have to throw it all away," Goldberg said, citing laws that make it difficult to donate meals for fear of spreading foodborne illnesses. However, he added, it is legal—and responsible—to donate food that was never served.
FRN, which was founded in 2011 and has more than 200 chapters on college campuses in 44 states, has recovered more than 3.9 million pounds of surplus food from school cafeterias and local restaurants. The nonprofit helped NAR recover 85 meals from two canceled meetings during May's REALTORS® Legislative Meetings & Trade Expo in Washington, D.C. The meals, which ultimately were not served at the conference, were donated to a local homeless shelter. FRN will also help to recover unserved food at Leadership Summit and the REALTORS® Conference & Expo in San Francisco this fall.
Goldberg on Tuesday challenged the 1,200 state and local REALTOR® associations nationwide to join the effort by pledging to develop their own food recovery programs. A U.S. map appeared onstage, showing the associations taking the pledge in real time. Most regions of the country were well represented. (As of Aug. 20, about 900 have committed.)
'Leadership in the Sunshine'
Goldberg also shared his leadership philosophy, which he calls "leadership in the sunshine," with summit attendees. Transparency and humility are the top qualities a leader should have, whether it's an association executive, broker, or real estate team leader, he said.
- No room for ego. "If you're open to learning and not thinking you have all the answers, that's a very powerful thing," Goldberg said. "Leaders that fail miserably are the ones who put their ego ahead of what needs to be done." You have to have a sense of selflessness in order to lead effectively, and you must treat the people you work with as partners, not subordinates, he added.
- Develop a thick skin. "You can't be afraid of criticism," Goldberg said. "As a leader of [NAR], I've taken some hits. Why? You have to be bold and have courage to make the changes that need to be made." You also must listen to what the people around you are telling you about your organization. You can't ignore their complaints. "There's a reason God gave us two ears and one mouth—so we can listen more and talk less," Goldberg added.
- Remember that you're serving a greater purpose. "It's not about what you accomplish in just your year," Goldberg said, alluding to the term limits of association leadership teams. "It's about what you are helping REALTORS® to accomplish together over our long history."
- Show fearlessness in the face of a challenge. Even as technology upends the traditional real estate business model, "we shouldn't be fearful of what's out there," Goldberg said. "REALTORS® have always been the drivers of this industry." It's incumbent upon real estate pros to embrace and work with technology, considering it as a "business partner," he added.
- Don't keep consequential information hidden. The quickest way to lose loyalty is to withhold information, Goldberg said. If changes need to be made—even ones that may be uncomfortable in the short term—have the courage to address those changes with the people you work with. "It's important to tell employees, volunteers, and staff everything you know," Goldberg said.

Elizabeth Warren has prompted a social media storm urging the House to initiate impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump in the wake of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's redacted report on his investigation into the Trump campaign's alleged collusion with Russia during the 2016 election being released.
Many accused her of exploiting the theme in order to gain political points during the race, while others, on the contrary, insisted that she was doing the right thing.
When it comes to policy you're damned if you do/damned if you don't. Warren released a slew of policy proposals & gets 1/4th of the attention. She calls for impeachment proceedings & some members of media treat her as a resister who isn't focused on issues Americans care about

Elizabeth Warren is an Ambulance Chaser. She is trying so hard to jump on any issue that will get her more votes. She is a hysterical, dramatic and Lying Politician.

Most 2020 Dems are shifting the focus off Trump to talk about health care, wage inequality, etc. If Warren is the nominee, the race will be a referendum on impeachment. https://t.co/gmxBAxtnJY

However, there were those who backed the Massachusetts Senator not only with words but with dollars as well.
She got money from me tonight! THAT is the statement we need to make to show we are behind her. Hope this weekend brings a huge windfall in fundraising for her!
— Hold'EmAccountable (@MittenMarko) April 20, 2019
Some pointed out that she has received a "big boost."
Elizabeth Warren got a big boost from calling for Trump's impeachment. Bold move. The right move.
— Treason Stickers (@treasonstickers) April 20, 2019
While some pointed out that Trump will eventually be the winner in the end.
If Dem. attempt to impeach Trump, he will most likely get reelected. And, just for a bonus; Elizabeth Warren is a great fool who will NEVER get nominated by the Dems.
— Uncle Phil (@PhochhKees) April 20, 2019
According to The Guardian, she's the only 2020 presidential candidate and the most senior Democrat who has made these demands, although some of her rivals have voiced support for the idea itself.
READ MORE: Elizabeth Warren: "Pocahontas" for President?
Although Mueller did not conclude whether Trump obstructed justice, only outlining several cases when he allegedly tried to narrow the probe down, or stop it, Warren claimed on Twitter that the president's "repeated efforts to obstruct an investigation into his own disloyal behavior" would "suggest that both the current and future presidents would be free to abuse their power in similar ways".
Mueller put the next step in the hands of Congress: "Congress has authority to prohibit a President's corrupt use of his authority in order to protect the integrity of the administration of justice." The correct process for exercising that authority is impeachment.
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) April 19, 2019
"The severity of this misconduct demands that elected officials in both parties set aside political considerations and do their constitutional duty", Warren said, which means, according to her, that "the House should initiate impeachment proceedings against the president of the US".
