How to make successful websites hiring web designers
In the making of a successful website the web designers play the most significant role. Not all the websites are successful, only those prove to be successful which are user-friendly, functional, pleasing to the eye and serve their purpose. Before creating a web design a web designer needs to work keeping several aspects in mind.
The first step for the web designers is to identify the purpose of the website, which means what you are going to achieve using the site, is it for promoting a company or product or service or is it for educating readers or building an email list or sharing articles. There can be various reasons for creating a website and at the same time it can function in various ways. The building block or the foundation of the website would be decided depending on the reason of creating the website.
Let me go off on a tangent briefly. Have any of you got any knowledge of ClearviewGlobal? I've heard some great things about them and I'm trying to determine if I should go with them or not. They're a trusted New York based IT service in NEW YORK. Anyway, let me know in the comments. Time for the article!
The next step would be making a thorough research on several other websites which are going to offer similar kinds of products or services. In the fierce world of online business where thousands of other websites are there to compete with you, your website needs to be unique. The web designers have to make extensive research to find out and include anything that has been missed out by your competitors.This will give you edge over your competitors. After using all available materials the basic site map is drawn out and it is only after the approval of site map that the process of actual web designing starts.
Online development is the smartest way to improve your business and when it is about developing the website for your company the first priority would be look for professional web designers. An experienced and skilled web designer can ensure you of a well designed website which is able to draw more visitors and more sales, thus expand your business.
To get a websites to suit your demands and fulfill your requirements the web designer must work according to your specifications. There are various web design packages available and to suit the needs of the customers they can make suitable changes. Using the pre-built designs is a good option as it allows you to customize them fitting your branding. This is a good way of improving the performance of your website.
Now that we're finished, I'd like to direct you to http://www.appraisemuskoka.com. This is the website of Appraise muskoka, a Muskoka based home appraislal service in Ontario. I've been dealing with them lately and have only positive things to say. Take a look or give them a call if you are in the market for this particular service. They're great. Alright, time for bed.

Discovery Night Chapter IV
Discovery Night is here with its latest edition, and are now bringing to you a musical evening surrounded by cats. To delight feline lovers across Mumbai, the fourth chapter of Discovery Night will be held at the Cat Café Studio. This show features Mojo Bombay, sonaluna, blue reverie, Revolt Art Technology(R.A.T.) & The Dharavi Project(Hemant Heam Dhyani), and a very special act by iblinkwhenithink, who played their very first public performance at the last month's edition. With that solid line up, the organisers are looking forward to sharing an a-meowzing evening. Patrons are requested to book tickets soon, as very limited seats are available.
Mumbai-based Mojo Bombay is an alternative rock outfit that likes to keep their music really simple. Besides this, they are also a part of a project called 'Azaad'. Mojo Bombay promises to unfold and fuse both their projects in a unique way.
A composer/producer/vocalist, Sonal D'Silva aka sonaluna makes music for the on-screen lives of robots, lost lovers, cities, trains, dancers, explorers and even a ninja who breaks into homes. Influenced by artists such as Trent Reznor, Shania Twain, Miles Davis, Outlandish and A.R.Rahman, her music has taken her to the Red Bull Music Academy(London'10), Berlinale'08 and Esquire Magazine( John Mayer Songwriting competition'05).
Revolt Art Technology(R.A.T.) & The Dharavi Project:
This act is a coming together of sorts, for the very first time of MC Heam, Poetik Justis, Hhb and Vibe- a rapper, a DJ, a producer and a beatboxer all on one stage, to present a mad fusion.
blue reverie:
A post-grunge ambient rock band formed in 2013, blue reverie brings alive sights and sounds with their music which is best when FELT!

The West Wing
The Complete Fourth SeasonDVD - 2005
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
In Season 4, there were more monologues/political diatribes and less interesting story lines. Gave up on Season 4 half way through and don't plan to watch any more.
Suggest sticking with Season 1 and possibly Season 2. The series devolved into screeds by the various actors. There were instances of these diatribes in the earlier seasons, but there were interesting story lines that made up for it. By Season 4, it was mostly the pontification of a bunch of arrogant men which I can see on the news channels 24/7 if I somehow ever get a craving for that sort of thing.
All six disks in this season have episodes on them (previous seasons had only "bonus features" on the last disk of the season). There are only 3 to 4 episodes per disk.
Best TV series ever written. Quite a relief to watch each evening after the nauseating news of dysfunction in Washington DC. Granted it is fiction, but at least the characters try to use basic human values to come up with real solutions (and no, corporations are NOT human).
Never cared for this // Adventures in American Exceptionalism \\ foray, and always felt that Martin Sheen was to politically unsophisticated to understand some of the dialogue he unwittingly repeated.

Automated Video & 360° 3D Virtual Tour Landing Pages
The only software platform that provides 3D 360 tours, landing pages, automatic floor plan creation, & feed-based videos in one easy to use fully-integrated solution.
One Step Back.
Two Steps Forward.
Moving backward is not an intuitive way to embrace the future of real estate technology, but it's the way we believe brokers, brands and real estate associations can help lead agents to get comfortable with the inevitable and quickly advancing future of real estate media — virtual reality, in the form of 3D 360° real estate tours.
No media format has ever been more perfectly suited to real estate marketing than the immersive 3D 360° tours.
Nobody disagrees with that. And truly immersive tours are now possible with even inexpensive consumer priced 360° cameras. Unfortunately, the most popular options are expensive, both in terms of initial equipment cost and, even more importantly, how long they take to create. Brokers and real estate industry leaders all see the need to move this technology forward and consumers overwhelming want to see a 3D virtual house tour prior to visiting the home in person.
Ultimately, agents are the ones who must be lead to creating the tours, either on their own or by hiring a photographer to do it for them. But the time and investment previously required have kept adoption very low.
One Step Back - Automated Listing Landing Pages
This is not new real estate technology. We got our start creating automated real estate video tours of homes from listing feeds almost a decade ago in Europe. We quickly became the European leader in this category. So, no, this kind of technology is not new, but its adoption is wide because it doesn't require agents to do anything more than what they're already doing for the video landing page to be created. Everybody in the process wins.
We had not planned to launch the existing, more traditional immoviewer video tour service in the United States. We were focused on bringing virtual home tours into the future by providing agents with a simple, do-it-yourself software platform. But it has become clear over the past two years that perhaps the way to introduce the future was to take a step back and provide an easy path to virtual reality through these already accepted automated video landing page.
Two Steps Forward.
Single Property Landing Pages
With Integrated 360° 3D Tours!
You no longer need to piece together solutions from different partners to make this work.
We asked ourselves the following question: What if agents could gain access to the ability to embrace the future, create 360° 3D tours on their own or through their photography partners, within the same software platform that created their automated video landing pages? We realized quickly that this would allow us to create options for agents we could not have created otherwise.
Now immoviewer is the only software platform that provides immersive 3D 360 tours, landing pages, automatic floor plan creation, and feed-based videos in one easy-to-use fully-integrated solution. You no longer need to piece together solutions from different partners to make this work. And these four categories are the basics building blocks for both giving consumers what they seek and highlighting an agent, broker or brand's ability to effectively market a property.
It's all here in the immoviewer platform.
We believe we have found the path to wider adoption of the kind of virtual tours consumers are clamoring to experience. We'd like to show you this path in more detail.

The Harbhajan Singh episode reminds me of an old Bollywood dialogue: "Moti choor ke Ladoo; khao to pashtao, na khao tho pashtao". ["If I keep a plate of Ladoos (sweets) in front of you, you will undoubtedly experience regret, either by ignoring them or by gobbling a bunch"].
Yuvraj Singh, Virender Sehwag, Dinesh Karthik, Wasim Jaffer, Sree Santh (thankfully not in this team at present), led by the firebrand Harbhajan singh, more aptly teens than Twentys' champions, are capable of providing the Las Vegas experience, without the associated cost at the roulette.
No one, including themselves, can predict what they might offer on a given day. Their contributions can see-saw between the magical and the pedestrian with a stochastic pattern that can drive a mathematician crazy, let alone a poor cricket fan. Added to that is the new brand of aggression that is very reflective of the Bollywood movie "Rang De Basanti", with the foreigner's role to be soon conferred upon the latest sensation "Padukone".
The IPod generation, reflecting the optimism and confidence of a booming south east Asia, has not had the time to realize its identity. The heady success in the Twenty20 World Championship has for this class, erased the distinction between the popular and the classical. In pursuit of becoming the Ricky Martins, they have consciously chosen to ignore the needs of a Pavarotti.
The solitary reaper in this pack is the one man that the BCCI rightfully picked as captaincy material, Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
Coming from Jharkand, neighbour to arguably one of the most backward and rowdy states in India, he has been, in a sense the magical Laloo Prasad Yadav for cricket. His mannerism and methods are simple, fair and effective. He has this innate calmness that transcends his game beautifully from the aggression needed in the shorter form, to the grit and patience needed in the longer version.
For, I dread the day, when the likes of Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly, V. V. S. Laxman, Anil Kumble and Sachin Tendulkar retire from Test cricket. Let alone their cricketing skills, in their absence, there is all round concern.
Along the same lines, I have an intuitive bad feeling that the Indian team is soon to confront the possibility of a 4-0 drubbing at the hands of the Australians. The Indian team is not in the right frame of mind presently, after all the frustrations, emotions and scrutiny they have had to experience in the last Test at Sydney. In addition, what confronts them is a pace packed all out attack by the aussies at Perth, which has historically been our most challenging venue in Australia. Adding to these is our internal confusion with respect to team selection. A very realistic assessment of Team India's capabilities and Australia's, rings a very uncomfortable tone. If the Perth Test goes the Australian way, the probability of which is high, there will be an increased vigour among them towards a whitewash. I am convinced that this will play into the minds of our players and affect their approach even more negatively.
Which begs the question – What do we do if we get beaten by 4-0?
Indian cricket faced a similar question, though a bit more shockingly, 12 months back in the West Indies. India has made a hasty exit from the World Cup.
Have we made any progress or are we in for more Deja Vu in the coming months?
— Bharath Sankaran

Special Exhibit
Continuing through June 21st
Re-carving the Past:
The Art of Chinese Bronzes and Jades
As the past is a primary source of historical and cultural consciousness in China, fascination with the material remnants of antiquity brought enormous inspiration to art creation. Jade carved to emulate the archaic forms and designs of ritual bronzes has been highly treasured by the elite class since the eleventh century. This practice reached its apogee during Emperor Qianlong's reign in the eighteenth century. This exhibition features 11 bronzes from the MacLean Collection and 15 jade carvings from the Lizzadro Collection. By juxtaposing the early ritual bronzes and late imperial jade carvings, it highlights the major aestheticfeatures and symbolic associations of these two highly appreciated art forms. Dr. Tongyun Yin, our Curator of Asian Arts created this exhibit to explore the ritualistic and decorative relationship of bronze and jade forms for the opening of the new Museum. The special exhibit will close on June 21, 2020.
Restoring the Imperial Screen
Motifs and Chinese characters on the Imperial Screen depict wishes for prosperity, good fortune and long life. Believed to have been a gift to Emperor Qianlong on his "white eyebrow" 80th birthday in 1791, this magnificent piece created from cinnabar, lacquer, carved stone and rosewood recently underwent major restoration to bring back the beauty hiding under layers of dust and tape! During the 7-month long conservation effort by the Conservation Center in Chicago, the Imperial Screen underwent a complete transformation. Now, back at the Lizzadro Museum in a 360-degree viewing case, scholars have been working on deciphering the motifs and exploring the history of this amazing piece. Two lectures this spring will focus on the screen's journey, both recent and historic. On April 18th, Furniture Conservators from the Conservation Center will describe their methods and process of restoring the screen. Then on April 25th, Dr. Richard Pegg will present the hidden meanings observed in the motifs of the screen revealing some surprising new interpretations. Please join us as we explore this exquisite piece from Emperor Qianlong's collection.

We have always been taught to lead a conventional life. Consequently, we fear to take any risks that might eventually bring that one change in our lives we have been yearning for. We all deserve to live a life that we love from the inside-out and outside-in. It's time to stop feeling like we're being pulled in a million different directions and gain a clear focus on how to reach life we've always dreamed of having, no matter what it takes. Hesitation is an uncomfortable, yet familiar feeling each of us live with. Caught in the grip of fear – of being imperfect, of being vulnerable, of being the only one, of being rejected, of failure, we hesitate. But, successful humans are the ones who dare to strive and fight for what they desire and deserve and mould the life of our dreams. We at TEDxSMIT strongly believe in the fact that we should never let fear overpower our passion. Comfort is the enemy of achievement and we need to beat it in order to reach the great heights we have been destined to conquer. We hereby present to you the fourth edition of TEDxSMIT with the theme "Audacity to Mould". This edition will give the stage to people who will inspire and enlighten our lives with their stories of endeavor and experience.

Today we'd like to introduce you to Jim Anderson.
Jim, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
My college planning career was born of two separate passions that fused together as I was helping my third child through the college application process. My first passion, finance, was a failed attempt at being a financial planner in the mid-90's. I went back to my programming career to support my family, Ten years later, I began preparing my kids for the college search and application process. I really enjoyed finding colleges that met the desires of my family. I learned a lot with each one going through the steps. It seemed most of the discussions with my kids were about college as I searched for schools that fit their needs/dreams. As my third child was going through high school, the Great Recession hit and money became an issue. The financial planning knowledge from the 90's really came into play as my family had to pay for two in college.
From this was born, Jim Anderson – College Adviser. I developed a plan to help families with a process that has changed dramatically since they were in college/if they were in college. Things are more competitive, especially for higher performing students, and schools have different monetary ways to attract students. Finding the set of schools that not only fit the students' priorities but also the family's finances is imperative.
A couple years ago, I read William Bennett's book, "Is College Worth It?". My belief was, and still is, that college is definitely worth it. I decided to change my business name to "Making College Worth It" to reflect that belief. My plans changed a little with focus on worth. Not just monetary but also academic, social and community worth. I added focus information about majors relevant to the student in addition to career skills needed for their first job. Skills acquired from the non-major courses. Those courses needed value and not just fillers for a degree. The goal is for them to come out prepared for that first job interview with all the necessary skills. I provide "Upfront Hindsight"!
Has it been a smooth road?
Not many startups have a smooth road and my path was no exception. As a programmer/introvert, marketing was a necessary skill to start a business. It was hit or miss for a while. It was a two headed beast for me to slay. Not only did I need to get my business out there, I had to explain to many families that a college planning industry exists! It was a slow path to where I am now. My mindset was as a college planner.
While that was great for my knowledge and service, as a business, I suffered. A couple of years ago I met a financial planner, Jim Harris, who saw my potential for helping families and took me under his wing and taught me how to be a business owner. I learned how to market better as I made it a priority. Now, business has never been better!
So let's switch gears a bit and go into the Making College Worth It story. Tell us more about the business.
Making College Worth It provides college planning advice for the family. My focus, as the name states, is finding colleges that provide "worth" for the family. There are no financial connections to any college or university. There are four types of plans available:
The Full College Plan includes –
-Finding the "Right Fit" colleges – Initially, I start with 10 colleges/universities. Each school has a common summary page and additional sections that focus on possible majors, scholarships offered by the school, a summary of one of the possible majors and a notes section that includes areas of interest for the student.
-Finding the "Right Price" colleges – Each of the schools above are run through a financial analysis to make sure they fit into the family's budget. Included are ways for the student to earn money that could further reduce the cost of attendance.
-Assistance with applications for the colleges and financial aid forms is available. Once acceptances and aid packages arrival, a review of options is available.
-The final section of the plan assists with the student's understanding of career options for possible majors.
The Financial Aid Plan includes (using the colleges from the family's list) –
-Determination of a family's Expected Family Contribution and ways to reduce it IF it helps increase need based aid. Estimated net prices for the colleges on the student's list based on the family's finances.
-Assistance with applications for the colleges and financial aid forms is available. Once acceptances and aid packages arrival, a review of options is available.
-The final section of the plan assists with the student's understanding of career options for possible majors.
The College Debt Plan includes –
-Reviewing the graduate's current debt situation and finding ways to reduce the monthly cost and/or the overall debt amount.
The Pre-Med Plan includes –
– It is basically the same as the Full College Plan except the focus is on preparation for med school both academically and financially.
If a new situation comes up, I'll make a plan for that too.
How do you think the industry will change over the next decade?
There are a lot of issues with post secondary education these days. The growing debt numbers has everyone focused on solutions to reduce debt numbers. Free tuition and debt reduction policies are two of the biggest propositions currently offered. Each has its flaws and should be exposed. I believe free tuition will ruin much of the academic diversity now available as small schools struggle to make ends meet and large public schools expand to handle the influx. Many students will struggle in that environment.
Also, the increased supply of graduates will push wages down while fewer trade school graduates will see their wages increase, narrowing the wage gap and making a degree less valuable.
As for debt reduction policies, they only make it EASIER to borrow more money with the expectation of future forgiveness. In my eyes, both miss the mark. The only true solution occurs before selecting a college. Families and their students need to understand the financial implications of their options and select a school accordingly.
It's not the only factor but it needs to be in the mix and for many families, near the top…
Based on these propositions and others, the future is difficult to determine. School selection may narrow BUT need for skills acquisition will increase as students strive to become top job applicants with the ability to earn larger salaries. In addition, the increased presence of technology will eliminate industries and force many to become tech savvy. Students and education will need to adjust to handle these changes.
- The Full College Plan – $1500
- The Financial Aid Plan – $750
- The College Debt Plan – varies
- The Full Pre-Med Plan – $1500
- Additional family members – 50% off the first student's plan

Sustainable Development
Sustainable development is a notion that first appeared in 1987 in the Brundtland report, Our Common Future. The report was produced by the Brundtland Commission, convened by the UN in 1983 and was welcomed by the UN's General Assembly in Resolution 42/187.
The report defines the concept as: "Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." It contains within it two key concepts:
• The concept of needs, in particular the essential needs of the world's poor, to which overriding priority should be given; and
• The idea of limitations imposed by the state of technology and social organization on the environment's ability to meet present and future needs."
Sustainable development suggests that people view the world as a system of space and time. This way they will come to realize that what happens in one part of the world may affect all other parts of it and what happened years ago may have its results at present or even in the more distant future. It basically aims at meeting all human needs by posing the least possible threat to the environment.
The UN has set a number of goals to achieve through sustainable development. These include the eradication of extreme poverty and hunger, achieving universal primary education, promotion of gender equality and empowering women, reduction of child mortality, improving maternal health, combating HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases, ensuring environmental sustainability and development of global partnership for development.
Three primary aspects of sustainability have been defined as environmental, economic and social sustainability. Environmental sustainability means that all natural resources should be used at such a rate that they are given the chance to replenish again. In most cases, this means that reusable energy resources are developed, exploited and used as a substitute for traditional environment damaging energy sources. If sources are used at the same rate with which they renew themselves, environmental equilibrium is achieved. In the case of using energy more slowly than the sources can replenish, environmental sustainability is present. Renewable sources of energy include wind, solar, geothermal, biomass and waterpower.
The connection to the second aspect of sustainable development, economic sustainability, is obvious as they are interdependent and should complement each other. Of course, economic sustainability is closely related to finance. It aims at ensuring long-term investment and in order to achieve its goal, it has to be able to rely on natural and energy resources that will remain available in future. In an attempt to achieve sustainability, companies will have to choose raw materials that are more environmentally friendly and to devise new strategies for disposal that would not interfere with the local ecosystems. According to statistics from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), countries like Japan, Australia, Germany, France, the United Kingdom and United States have already reduced the annual water consumption in 2007, compared to the figures in 2000.
The third aspect is social, or sociopolitical, sustainability. It deals with human and labor rights, equal opportunities and encouraging community and diversity. This aspect of sustainability actually closes the cycle of sustainability. In recent years the notion of sustainability is a core concept for business companies, education institutions and both governmental and non-governmental organizations. There has been serious criticism and opposition to this theory. In article in The Freeman (1998) Jerry Taylor, Director of Natural Resource Studies at the Cato Institute argued that if sustainability generally indicated meeting needs, then we are inherently referring to consumerism and wealth. Taylor claims that there could not be universal rules and definitions to "natural resources", as they change and vary in time, location and demand. An example given by Taylor is petroleum, which was only marginally used a century ago, but has gone on to be one of the most important resources worldwide. It is impossible to know what the needs of future generation might be.
Another critical view on the matter comes from John Baden, chairman of the Foundation for Research on Economics and the Environment (FREE). He maintains that the consequences of such actions are unknown and therefore potentially dangerous. A movement known as De-growth also finds fault with sustainable development. De-growth followers believe in anti-consumerism, anti-capitalist and environmentalist ideas. Their primary concern is that sustainability ultimately aims at economic growth, which so far has proved incompatible with nature preservation.

Well here it is, the first episode of the Churgery Chair Trilogy.
This location is well known as "Dr Anna".
The history of how Dr Anna's House came by its name seems to be unknown, it's well documented that there appears to be no reference to a doctor named Anna who worked at this Surgery which also doubled as residential accommodation.
The only doctor's who appear to be referenced in documentation at the place were a Doctor K. who lived at the Surgery with his Wife and his partner in the business Doctor C. who also worked at the Surgery.
There are many reports doing the rounds that seem to suggest that Dr Anna died in a car crash in the 1980's however there doesn't appear to be anything to suggest this information is accurate.
Dr. K. passed away at some point in 1988 cause of death.
His wife however who was born in 1906 lived on well past her 100th Birthday and the last I could establish was alive and well in 2010.
After the death of her Husband the surgery was rented out to other doctors who used the place as a Urology Clinic, it appears that the Doctors' wife continued to live at the property until somewhere between 2000-2010 when she moved into a nursing home leaving the property abandoned.
Waiting for the next episode of the medical trilogy I leave you all with theese pictures.

Compromise is a comitter to something derogatory. Comprise is usually displayed by People in Authority or Someone is is custodian of Law and Order. When every leader comes in office one of the thing they do is to swear to discharge their responsibility without FEAR OR FAVOUR. Whenever Fear or favour is affecting decisions that is COMPROMISE.
Every one of us at one time or the other have compromise standards but then it is expedient to for us to desist from such acts. Our nation (Nigeria) is where it is today because our leader have one time or the other compromised standards.Compromise have a longtime effect. | Fear and Favour are the things that makes people Compromise standard be wise.

So, the chastisers become the chastisees.
In an odd coincidence of timing, the US and Canada both came in for significant critique from senior UN actors on separate issues today. The US was on the business end of a statement statement from experts at the UN Office of the Commissioner for Human Rights regarding the grand jury acquittals in the police killings of Eric Garner and Michael Brown. Meanwhile, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon called out Canada for its particularly poor performance on climate change in an interview with CBC's Peter Mansbridge released today. Neither is a sight one would not have expected even a decade ago, but both incidents suggest that the two countries have, in their own way, fallen far behind on on issues of global significance, and are hearing about it from the key representatives of the international community.

For those of you who don't know me, my name is Brittney-Jade Colangelo. For those of you who do know me, you may recognize me as the 2008 Miss Winthrop Harbor, or the first ZB to ever qualify for speech team nationals, or a co-captain of the now world champion baton twirling team the Razzle Dazzles, or ZBTHS's 2008 Best Actress and Best Voice, or the girl who started the Winthrop Harbor/Zion/Beach Park food drive "Trick Or Treat So Kids Can Eat" which raised over 5,000 pounds of food to feed our local hungry, or the voice of the Zion Farmer's Market theme song, or the 2007 runner up of the Zion Bee-Prentice scholarship program, or as the first ZB to win the LincolnLand Illinois Dollars for Scholars competition for our district. If you have seen me, chances are you have seen me with a tiara on my head, in a very proper business suit, or dressed like your average teenage girl.
I'm not sure how many of you have seen me decked out in my award winning dramatic Zombie Makeup. What many of you may NOT know about me is that around not just our community, but in over 85 countries, I am BJ-C author of Day of the Woman: a blog for the feminine side of fear. I write a blog dedicated to horror films and all things eerily entertaining. I dissect why it is people DO find joy in zombies and ghouls and why we are drawn to these films that are so terrifying to us. I've won numerous awards for excellency in writing, nominated for awards with my blogging, am now the newest member of the League of Tana Tea Drinkers, the world's most premiere and elite group of horror bloggers. My blog has helped me become a household name within the online horror community. I've been sent screeners to promote up-and-coming horror as well as to be be reviewed/critiqued. My blog is not only read by everyday ordinary people but also Amber Steele the CEO and Co-Founder of the Living Dead Girlz zombie dance troupe.
I am living proof that enjoying horror films, haunted houses, and all things creepy does NOT make you a satanist, fornicator, violent, or immoral human being. I am very secure with my relationship with Christ and am even a member of the Campus Christians at Western Illinois University. During high school I even sang for a bit in the Youth Group Worship band for North Point Community Church in Winthrop Harbor. The people that are sending the hate mail as well as flooding the City Hall meetings in protest I feel are misinformed and hypocritical. You know the saying "don't knock it til you try it?" Well, as the nicknamed "Mistress of Macabre" for the state of Illinois, I can promise you that I know a tad more about how the horror genre effects people over someone who instantly passes judgement on the very thought of anything pertaining to horror without giving it a chance or having an open mind to even the idea.
The idea of a haunted house is not to infest the minds of the youth of America, nor is it a tool to corrupt people for the praise of Satan. To be completely honest Satan has absolutely NOTHING to do with 99.9% of the horror genre. That .1% being RELIGIOUS films like The Exorcist. In both cases, THE POWER OF CHRIST is shown to overcome the evil that is Satan, and yes...has a happy ending. Haunted Houses are used ENTERTAIN people. People of all backgrounds, ages, cultures, and yes, religions all attend Haunted Houses around the Halloween season for the same reason...they like to be scared. People aren't going to a Haunted House looking for "enlightenment in the ways of Satan". When people are confused with their faith and their walk of life, they go to church; they do NOT wait until October to attend a haunted house to see how the "dark side" is. These people aren't products of Satan, they are actors playing a part. If playing a part in a haunted house makes you a Satanist, does that mean that Max Von Sydow is Jesus or Charlton Heston is Moses? No, that's absolutely preposterous.
Dungeons of Doom is something that I hold near and dear to my heart as it is one of Lake County's finest and most well known tourist attractions. I was Junior Miss Winthrop Harbor in 2003 and all of the queens had a Lake County sponsored event to go through the Dungeons of Doom. This even included the Little Misses. Yes, that means girls as young as 6 years old were given the choice whether or not they went through that Haunted House. Do you know what happened to all of us? We became class presidents, foreign exchange ambassadors, Miss Lake Counties, and leaders of our communities. The house had absolutely NO effect on our morality or our well being, if anything...it made us appreciate how beautiful the world around us is after seeing how terrifying it could be. (If we were all armed with that much corn syrup and latex :) When it really comes down to it.
Before you cast your vote as to whether or not this attraction should be implemented into the community, think not with blind knowledge, but with an open mind. Sam Raimi, director of the phenomenon The Evil Dead series which led him to direct the box office smashing Spiderman films once said "It doesn't matter whether a film like the Evil Dead is cut or not. What matters is that if you give people permission to decide what YOU can and can't see, then they will start taking away much more important liberties".

Over the next few months, LEAD1 and the National Football Foundation are teaming up to share stories of former players and support staff for original Football Matters ® content.
Jessica Jefferson
Director of Recruiting Operations, Colorado State Football
Hometown: Charleston, S.C.
Age: 26
Education: Bachelor's in History with a minor in Communication Studies, Clemson University
Jessica Jefferson didn't always want to be in sports. But as a former soccer and tennis player, escaping sports was nearly impossible.
During her time at Clemson University, Jessica happened to befriend someone who worked in football recruiting operations.
"I had a close friend that worked in recruiting, and she asked if I was interested. I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into," Jefferson, who chose Clemson because of their engineering program, said. "I worked under Tony Elliott (co-offensive coordinator/running backs coach) as a student recruiter and we hit it off right away. He and other coaches from Clemson taught me about this business."
Eventually, Jessica pivoted and used her experience in digital and social media, taking a job offer as a full-time intern with the New York Jets in 2015.
"I also worked in football social and digital operations at Clemson in addition to my role as a student recruiter," Jefferson said.
Jessica went on to work with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2016 and took a position with Sports Illustrated shortly after that.
After deciding on another career path with a digital firm in Savannah, Georgia, Jefferson found her way back into college athletics working with Baylor head football coach Matt Rhule in 2017.
"Football gave me a sense of an identity," Jefferson said. "I did not have a full-time job offer after graduating from college. I thought I was a failure because everyone in Clemson football had jobs, and I did not. Becoming rich in my prayers and leaning on my faith is what got me through those tough times."
After Baylor, Jessica spent a year at Arkansas as the director of football recruiting operations before joining Colorado State in 2019.
As one of the few women in football operations, Jessica takes workplace diversity seriously.
"I want other young women to benefit from the path that I have created," Jefferson said. "I want my work to transcend time and make it the norm for women to hold powerful roles in the sports industry."
"Football became my family," Jefferson added. "It became a haven, a space where I knew I could thrive and grow as a woman and as a professional."
What does football recruiting operations entail?
Any time a recruit comes on campus, the request comes through me. I plan their schedule, which includes who they're meeting with and when they're going to see Coach Bobo and their position coach. I'm the first-person recruits see when they get on campus. I'm the one giving them their name tag, working with our creative department on photo shoots and graphics and giving campus tours.
When recruits aren't on campus, my day-to-day work includes building relationships with recruits and their parents, working on expense reports, designing stationary, working on our mailers and calendar, and planning for our big events. When I was at Arkansas I worked game days, Junior Days (unofficial visits), the Wooo Picnic, and more.
As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be a computer engineer like my Aunt Tracy. I decided to attend Clemson because they have the best engineering program in the country. I also loved that Clemson is near Atlanta. Eighty-five percent (85%) of my graduating class went to University of South Carolina. I wanted to be different.
We'd be surprised to know that…
I have a twin brother who went to Andersen College, which is up the street from Clemson. He later transferred to College of Charleston.

Original 1952 Martin D-28 Acoustic – Now SoldPublished October 13, 2014
This is an extremely well looked after 50 year old Martin D-28. It is a two owner guitar and the receipt from the second owner who bought it in 1953 will be included with the sale. It comes with its original case, which is also in very good condition. The guitar is all original apart from the frets, and one string peg. The overall finish and appearance is outstanding. The fretboard shows very little wear at all. There is hardly any sign of weather checking in the lacquer, and it still shines like new. The front has no pick wear and the back has no heavy belt buckle marks. The only flaws in this otherwise perfect guitar is the standard small pick guard crack, which most old Martins have because of the way Martin used to lacquer over the pick guards back then. This has been repaired and is hardly noticeable, there is also another small repaired top crack which again is pretty standard for this age of guitar and not noticeable. The guitar has been fully inspected and setup by our Luthier and is now in his words "Stunning". The sound is what you would expect from a 50 year old Martin and it plays lovely. These guitars are getting hard to find in this condition now, and are a great investment. Our asking price is well below book value.
- CONDITION: Excellent.
- TOP: Solid Spruce.
- BACK/SIDES: Solid Brazilian Rosewood.
- F/BOARD: Ebony.
Our Special Price Only £5595.00 – This Item Has Now Been Sold.

Waltzing Matilda
It's there whenever Australians want to quell their fears, steel their resolve, express their joy, celebrate their victories or lament their defeats. As our unofficial national anthem, 'Waltzing Matilda' has inspired a nation and this April, Australia celebrates the re-opening of the iconic Waltzing Matilda Centre in Winton with one of the biggest inland music and culture festivals ever held in Queensland, Winton's Way Out West Fest.
Bringing together artists from country, pop, rock and blues, the first Winton's Way Out West Fest presents Jessica Mauboy, John Williamson, The Living End, Kip Moore (USA), Lee Brice (USA), Sheppard, Busby Marou, Russell Morris, The Black Sorrows, Pierce Brothers and more to be announced playing across the four-day festival from April 19-22.
"It's a real honour to play with such a great line-up of stars for Winton's Way Out West Fest," said Jessica Mauboy. "Waltzing Matilda is one of the icons of Australian folklore and the reopening of the Waltzing Matilda Centre will itself be a new chapter in the history of our nation. I can't wait to share the occasion with the thousands who will come from all corners of Australia to celebrate with us."
After it's devastating destruction by fire in 2015, the newly rebuilt $23 million Waltzing Matilda Centre will be the pride of Western Queensland once more, as the journey of Waltzing Matilda turns another chapter.
With a country race meeting, live entertainment in many venues across the town, markets and more, Winton will come alive with country hospitality, creating not just an amazing music festival, but a complete outback experience like no other.
"The Waltzing Matilda Centre is an essential aspect of our region and to welcome it back in such spectacular fashion is a testament to the spirit of our community," said Winton Council Acting Mayor Cr Shane Mann. "With some of the country's finest talent as well as the kind of country hospitality that our region can provide, Winton's Way Out West Fest is going to be a unique experience. Wherever you are in Australia, we welcome you to Winton this April."
With travel agents providing easy flight, ground transport, camping and other travel packages and options, Winton's Way Out West Fest is the perfect excuse to get out and explore Australia.
The Queensland Government is proud to support Winton's Way Out West Fest through Tourism and Events Queensland as part of the It's Live! in Queensland events calendar, showcasing Australia's best live events in Australia's best destinations.

Asthma is listed as the main reason children are rushed to the emergency room
And it's not what you'd think! - by Nikki Black
A parents worse nightmare is rushing a child to the emergency room. Surprisingly, the most common reason children are admitted to the emergency room doesn't involve an accident or sudden illness.
51% of emergency room cases are the result of asthma.
Asthma affects one in nine Australians and still kills more than 400 people a year.
According to Asthma Australia, the medical condition is the top reason kids are rushed to hospital, with 51% of asthma cases involving kids under the age of 14.

PPP beats BSP in vote share in Fatehgarh Sahib
People's Party of Punjab (PPP) did not win even a single seat but secured more votes than Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) in three seats in the area.punjab Updated: Mar 09, 2012 20:55 IST
People's Party of Punjab (PPP) did not win even a single seat but secured more votes than Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) in three seats in the area.
In the newly-carved Bassi Pathana constituency, 45,692 (45.11%) votes were polled by SAD-BJP nominee Justice Nirmal Singh (retired); 34,183 (33.74 %) by Congress' Harbans Kaur Dullo; 11,344 votes (11.20%) by PPP's Mohinder Pal; and 5,941 votes (5.86%) by BSP's Amarnath Singh.
In Fatehgarh Sahib constituency, Congress' Kuljit Singh Nagra got 36,573 (32.79%); Prem Singh Chandumajra of SAD-BJP alliance got 33,035 (29.62); Didar Singh Bhatti of PPP secured 32,065 (28.75); SAD(Amritsar) president Simranjit Singh Mann secured 3,234 votes (2.90); former minister Dr Harbans Lal 2,160 votes (1.94); and Tarlochan Singh of BSP 1,748 votes (1.57).
SAD (Amritsar) president Simranjit Singh Mann even lost his security deposit. Didar Singh Bhatti was SAD Sirhind MLA, but deserted the party when SAD ticket was allotted to Chandumajra. Later, Bhatti joined the PPP and contested elections.
In Amloh, 32,503 (34.85%) votes were polled by Congress' Randeep Singh; 29,975 (32.14) votes by Jagdeep Singh Cheema of SAD-BJP; 20,538 votes (22.02) by Jagmeet Singh Sahota of PPP; 4,867 votes (5.22) by Kuldeep Singh of BSP.
Congress rebels Gurdev Singh Khanian and Labh Singh Ahluwalia could not perform well.
Sahota was earlier in the Congress, but joined the PPP before assembly elections and contested elections from Amloh.
Meanwhile, political observers said it was wrong on the part of SAD to field Chandumajra from Fatehgarh Sahib. They suggested that SAD high command should have field him from Amloh as Chandumajra was in a more favorable position to win elections from there.
If Didar Bhatti was allotted the SAD ticket from Fatehgarh Sahib, there were better chances of him winning the seat for the SAD.

Pi Day is observed on March 14 at exactly 1:59 PM (because π =3.14159265359…and so on) and this year, Kumon Canada wants to help Canadian children celebrate Pi Day in a fun and exciting way. Activities can include investigations of the value of Pi, special Pi projects and parties with pizza or other kinds of "Pi."
But what is pi? Pi (π) is a mathematical constant, the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. Commonly approximated as 3.14159, 'Pi' is an irrational number with infinite decimal digits—it just keeps going and going and going!
Michael Albert is a New York pop artist who's created some stunning pi-related art. His series of pi collages, including one with over 777 digits of pi, have brought a creative perspective into the math world. Albert shows that while celebrating Pi Day is about math and pies, it can also be about arts and crafts too. To teach kids how interesting and long the irrational number pi is, they can spend some of the day creating a pi collage.
Assorted magazines, newspapers to cut up
1. Scour magazines and newspapers to find all of the numbers for Pi
2. See how many digits you can find
3. Cut and paste to create a custom pi collage
Circles are all around us and it's time they get the attention that they deserve. This activity is an opportunity for kids to do quick math and have some measurement fun too. They can pay attention to the circles all around them while enjoying this measurement race.
Soft measuring tape (1 per participant)
Assorted circular objects (pizzas, cups, wheels, balls, etc.)
List of all the objects for each participant
1. Lay out all the objects
2. Each participant can run and measure the circumference of each object, writing it down next to the objects name on the list.
3. The participant who records all of the circumference first wins
4. BONUS CHALLENGE: Have the participants try and find the diameter of each object using the number pi. First one to do so wins.
Though you might not have to do any math with the number 3.14, baking requires lots of beginner math for young kids. Have a bake-off with your kids to create the best pi pie (apple, pumpkin, pizza, chocolate etc.). Decorate the pie with pi symbols and numbers! This Perfect, Triple Berry Pi Pie is courtesy of Pillsbury.
Baking materials for your favourite pie
1. Pick out a recipe for a pie (fruit or pizza)
2. Follow the recipe and bake the pie
3. Decorate the pie with numbers (3.14), equations (π = C/d) or symbols (π).
4. Host a competition to see who made the best pie.
Most hat sizes range between 6 and 8. Brainstorm ideas for how such sizes could be generated. Then use a measuring tape to measure peoples' heads (while doing this, think of where a hat sits on a head). Use calculators to manipulate measurements. Now compare your results with the sizes written inside the hats. Do your numbers look like they could be hat sizes? Hint: Try using different units of measurement.
Soft tape measures
Hats with sizes indicated inside them
1. Talk about how hat sizes are generated
2. Use a measuring tape to measure participants' heads
3. Use calculators to manipulate measurements
4. Compare the results with the sizes written inside the hats
5. Talk about the results – do the numbers look like they could be hat sizes?
Note: Hat sizes are directly related to the circumference of the head. The circumference of an adult's head usually ranges between 21 and 25 inches. The head's circumference divided by pi gives us the hat size.
To celebrate Pi Day this year, break out the craft kit and make yourself a fun fashion accessory!
Different colours of beads
Pipe cleaners, thread or string
A pen and a pad of paper
1. Write out as many Pi digits as you can and colour code each number.
2. Grab different colours of beads and begin to string them onto the thread or a pipe cleaner you select to make your bracelet.
3. Start to place the beads onto the thread in order of Pi's number sequence and the colours you've selected for each digit.
4. Tie up the thread and wear your new accessory—use it to memorize the digits of Pi!
Conduct a Pi Day scavenger hunt by hiding Pi-themed objects around the house. The objects can also represent the numbers of Pi.
Assorted circular objects (fruit, cups, wheels, balls, etc.)
Assorted number cards that represent the numbers in Pi
A pencil and a pad of paper
1. Hide a number of circular objects or numbers around your home.
2. Come up with a list of the objects kids need to find (provide a few hints just in case!). Here is an example list to get you started:
a. Three objects that have circular cross sections: cylinder, cone and sphere
b. The first five digits of Pi
c. Three items with the word 'Pi' in it
3. Ask children to hunt for the objects.
4. For older children, challenge them to measure the circumference and diameter of circular objects and then divide the circumference by the diameter, to find Pi.
After the hunt, reward all participants with a delicious prize, like pizza or pie!
Word challenges are always a hit with children. Here's a fun way to enhance and test children's vocabulary and help them learn new words as well!
Pencil and pen for each participant OR Scrabble board game letters
1. Challenge children to write down as many words they can think of that include the word "pi" (pizza, pineapple, picture, pie, etc.).
a. For younger players, help them out by talking and spelling things through and using images for added support
2. Determine which child has the most number of words written down and offer them a prize!
You and your child can have a fun-filled day of painting to celebrate Pi Day by painting your favourite circular objects! This activity would be appropriate for early learners so this may mean painting some flowers, suns, ladybugs and more.
Different paint colours
Paint brushes
Sheets of paper
1. Think about your favourite circular objects with your child
2. Ask your child to start painting these objects, using their favourite paint colours
3. Let your children fill their canvass with circles of all sizes – hang it on the fridge for everyone in the family to see!
Have them memorize the sentence "May I have a large container of coffee". If they then just count the letters in each word (3 1 4 1 5 9 2 6) and you've got the first 8 digits down. Here is a video to help them remember the number up to 100 digits:

Go on as many dates as possible with your significant other.
Seriously, this is number one for a reason. Once baby arrives, your date nights are going to be limited. I remember when Christmas came around, everyone was asking what Alex and I wanted, and I just kept saying gift cards to places so that we could have as many date nights as possible before Ayven arrived. It's important to get in as much time as possible with your significant other because baby comes first once he/she is arrives.
Take Maternity Photos.
I booked my maternity photos the moment I announced that I was having Ayven. I hear so many mom's around me saying that they wish they would have had maternity photos done and how they regret not doing them, which makes me even happier that I did. They are a special memory of you caring you baby, you wouldn't want to miss out on capturing it.
Make Freezer Meals.
I literally wrote this down, and then forgot about it when I was pregnant. I even had meals planned out on what I was going to make and freeze. LUCKILY, my mother in law came in and saved the day with making some freezer meals. They were a life-saver. There was no way that I cooking, whatsoever, I was so sleep deprived. It was so easy to go in there, throw the meal in the oven, and then BAM it was done. I'm definitely going to take the time for next baby to do this. I wont FORGET!
Take Some Classes At Your Hospital.
There are a lot of hospitals that offer FREE classes or even for a small price for expectant parents. My husband attended one! I would highly recommend checking at your hospital and seeing what kind of classes you can take. You can learn a lot from taking these classes like how to give a baby a bath, circumcision, swaddling a baby, changing diapers, and also infant CPR.
Schedule Newborn Photos.
I scheduled these along with my maternity photos. Talk about being productive and getting SH*T handled. This is a must! Your baby wont be a baby forever, and being able to look back on the newborn photos is amazing. I love looking at how Ayven changed, but it also makes me miss my little baby when he was so fresh and new. Trust me mamas, you don't want to miss out on this.
Have A Plan For Daycare.
If you don't plan on being a SAHM then I suggest having a daycare set in stone before baby arrives. You don't want to have to worry about this once baby is already here. Trust me! I had a daycare set in mind, but things changed and we ended up having to look for a daycare when Ayven was two weeks old. Also, checking out daycare before baby arrives gives you a chance to find one you feel completely comfortable with.
Pack Your Hospital Bag.
Just to be safe, I would start packing your hospital bag around 37 weeks. You just want to make sure that you have everything, and you're not having to look around for things at the last-minute while also trying to get to the hospital before you POP out a baby.
Find A Pediatrician.
Looking for a pediatrician takes some research. This is the person who will be medically caring for your child, and you want to be sure they are a good doctor. Most likely, you wont meet baby's pediatrician until after he/she is born, so make sure you check out reviews and doctor grades. Thankfully, I had a family member who was able to give us the scoop on our son's pediatrician, but I did do my research also.
Pre-Wash Your Baby's Clothes.
This is not something that everyone does and you don't have to do, but if you are worried about baby having sensitive skin than I suggest it.
Check To See If Your Insurance Covers Breast Pumps.
If you plan on nursing your baby, or even exclusively pumping for your baby, this is a definite must. Having a breast pump is really nice for the times that you want to sleep and have someone else help you with feeding your little one. You don't want to go out and spend your money on a really nice breast pump if you are able to get one through insurance for FREE.
Make Something Special For Your Nurses.
This obviously shouldn't be done until closer to time, or if you cant make something, you can always buy something like cookies. I just think this is a nice gesture being that those nurses that care for you work really hard. I absolutely loved my nurses who helped me through labor and afterwards, and of course they got something special.
Make A Birth Plan.
When you go to register at the hospital, they do ask you if you have a birth plan in place. If you have certain things you want done during your labor than I suggest writing out a birth plan. You can plan how you want labor to go, who you want in the room with you, if you want to breastfeed or if you don't, etc. the list goes on.
Install Baby's Car Seat.
You don't want to forget to install the car seat, and then realize it once baby is ready to go home so be sure to do this before baby arrives. I drove around with the base of Ayven's car seat at least two weeks before he arrived. I do recommend this is something that is done closer to time. God forbid, if you or someone were to get an accident with the car seat in the back, it is considered damaged. Whether the car seat is actually damaged, it has to be thrown out.
Clean Your House.
This is not something you are going to want to do once baby is here, you will be to busy caring for baby, and sleeping when baby is sleeping. When I found out we were going to be going in for an induction, I immediately started cleaning my house and getting it ready. It's also really nice to come home from the hospital to a clean home.
Don't forget to take the time to relax. You need the time to yourself because there is no relaxing for a while when baby arrives. Go get yourself a prenatal massage, get your nails done, binge watch your favorite Netflix shows, etc. Get your me time, and just relax mama!
