Unfinished Business
I'm also trying my best to avoid going on an anti Black Friday rant. I think time will take care of that one. Black Friday will become Black Thursday within the next few years.
CNN Radio anchor Stan Case was killed in a car crash Tuesday in Alabama. Great voice. Great delivery. He also voiced some pieces for CNN and was an anchor when Headline News actually did news. I'm saddened by the loss.
I'm also saddened by the loss of disco singer and actress Andrea True. She had one big hit: "More, More, More." Heart failure in Kingston, NY November 7. She was 68. As noted previously, some disco wasn't bad.
A member of the Cincinnati Bengals was penalized for hair pulling during a tackle in the game versus the Baltimore Ravens. Hey, if you wear your hair that long, you run the risk of having it pulled, and it shouldn't be a penalty. It is difficult for me to type this paragraph because I'm a huge Troy Polamalu fan. It's time for the NFL to ban excessive hair length, except on the cheerleaders.
Tim Tebow could turn me in to a Denver Broncos fan. I hate to see someone undeservedly kicked around so much. Is he the NFL's greatest talent? No. He pours on the religion a bit heavy, but he won games in college, and he's helped the Broncos this year.
Blog visits, Linked In connections, and Twitter followers are all up. Thank you!

Often considered the Italian answer to happy hour, aperitivo is all about preparing you for the dinner that lies ahead – with a few drinks and a bite to eat, of course. Coming from the word aperire, Latin to open, the idea is "open" your appetite with a little snack, and the occasion usually runs from 6pm until 8pm traditionally.
We'll preface our list of some of the best deals around by noting that Dubai's own offerings aren't exclusively Italian – but they are all an excellent prelude to dinner.
Read on, and tuck in.
Whet your appetite for a spot of dinner by heading to this Arabic mezze bar during the post-work aperitivo hour. Since the Italian tradition is to have a light snack to go alongside your beverage, you'll be able to get 25 percent off of selected food (as well as drinks) at this beautiful restaurant found at the rooftop of Jumeirah Al Naseem. You'll be able to choose from a range of dishes including sambousek, kibbeh, falafel, fatayer and more, to stave off those hunger pangs.
Prices vary. Daily 5pm-8pm. Jumeirah Al Naseem, Madinat Jumeirah, Umm Suqeim (04 432 3232).
Aperitivo at Armani/Ristorante
Enjoy unlimited Italian drinks as well as a selection of signature canapés at this fancy aperitivo hour every Wednesday and Thursday.
Dhs220. Wed-Thu 6pm-8pm. Armani/RistoranteTerrace, Burj Khalifa Downtown Dubai (04 888 3888).
BASTA! By David Myers
The appropriately named "aperitivo" deal at this trendy Italian restaurant from US Michelin-starred chef prides itself on doing things the right way. This is also total bargain of a deal, with BASTA! offering two drinks and an antipasti dish for just Dhs68. Held immediately after work, running from 5pm until 7pm, you can tuck into one of the restaurant's antipasti dishes (think burrata, classic Roman meatballs and even tomato and walnut bruschetta). Delizioso
Dhs68. Daily 5pm-7pm. Renaissance Downtown Hotel, Business Bay (04 512 5522).
Belgian Café
This one isn't strictly an aperitivo (as it runs until 11pm), but if you're after a platter of seafood and a drink to kick off some end of the week proceedings, head to this Dubai Festival City branch of the popular Belgian bar chain on a Saturday. As well as a pint of hops (of your choosing), you'll get tiger prawns, scallops, salmon, squid, oysters and more. We're not sure about pre-dinner, but we say yes to post-IKEA shopping marathon.
Dhs165 per person. Sat 6pm-11pm. Crowne Plaza Dubai Festival City (04 701 1127).
Bistro des Arts
Les Happy Hour (not strictly a direct translation) offers up a two-hour window where, every weekday, you can head along to this Dubai Marina spot for a très bon deal. From 5.30pm until 7.30pm you'll get selected drinks for just Dhs25. And not only that, your drink will be accompanied by a free gourmet board, which includes some pissaladière (dough topped with olives, caramelised onions and anchovies), tapenade, cod croquettes and more. Mais oui.
Dhs25. Sat-Thu 5.30pm-7.30pm. Marina Promenade, Dubai Marina (04 551 1576).
The winner of our Best Outdoor Restaurant 2018 serves up a couple of top-notch deals here for aperitivo fans, depending on what you're after. This lovely Creek-side spot has a great weekend offer, where Fridays and Saturdays will see you get your hands on a specially selected seafood platter, dished up alongside a bottle of sparkling grape for just Dhs200. Perfect for sharing, if you ask us. If you really want to push the boat out, get your hands on six Normandie oysters and a bottle of premium bubbly for Dhs730.
From Dhs200. Daily noon-midnight. Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club, Deira (04 380 1234).
Bussola Lounge
There aren't many better ways to see out the weekend than by enjoying the post-summer weather long into the evening on the fringes of the Arabian Gulf. So, grab your date and head over to this charming Italian eatery, where Bussola has recently launched a fortnightly aperitivo deal. It's worthwhile calling ahead to book, and when you arrive you won't regret it as you can get free Italian nibbles alongside selected drinks for Dhs32. There's also a live DJ to keep the mood up.
From Dhs32. Sat 4pm-7pm. Fortnightly. The Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi Beach Resort & Marina Al Sufouh (04 511 7373).
El Sur
This Spanish restaurant has just launched a cracking new deal, if you love a snack to go with your drinks. You'll get three signature Spanish mixed drinks, with a free plate of Spanish fritters, olives and cheese for just Dhs135 every Wednesday.
Dhs135. Wed 6pm-midnight. The Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi Beach Resort & Marina, Al Sufouh (04 399 7700).
Key West
Is it even possible to find a more Miami-chic way of tucking in on some Italian aperitivos than by heading to Key West at Nikki Beach Resort & Spa? Over on the Pearl Jumeira, you'll able to drift away at this dreamy, whitewashed restaurant, and for Dhs99 you can even get your hands on two hops as well as a selection of tacos. This place is super-chilled out, so kick back and enjoy, especially as this deal runs until 11pm every day.
Dhs99. Daily noon-11pm. Nikki Beach Resort & Spa, Pearl Jumeira (04 376 6290).
Lucky Voice
One of the reasons why we fell in love with Lucky Voice is because of its "buy one, take one" offer on house drinks and pizzas every day from 5pm until 8pm. So if you're looking for a more substantial pre-dinner snack, this one's for you. There are also a range of deals on karaoke pods sessions to enjoy throughout the week.
Daily 5pm-8pm. Grand Millennium Hotel, Barsha Heights (800 58259).
Luna Sky Bar
Should you find yourself in DIFC after a busy day at work and you're after a serving of aperitivo action. Where do you turn? Well, there's the aforementioned Crazy Fish, and all its oyster glory, or there's Luna Sky Bar at the Four Seasons. For Dhs60 you can get your hands on a whole bunch of different mixed drinks, or for Dhs85 there are even more bubbly-based mixed drinks. The good news is that each of your drinks come with a range of antipasti, for free. There might not be such a thing as a free lunch, but there is such a thing as a free pre-dinner. A wow-worthy date, at prices that won't make your eyes pop (the views might, though).
From Dhs60. Daily 5pm-8pm. Four Seasons Hotel Dubai DIFC (04 506 0000).
You'll be livin' la vida Loca (see what we did there?) if you head along to Antojitos night every Monday. Down on the coast of the Arabian Gulf you can tuck into a whole bunch of antojitos plates to try (antojitos literally translates to "little craving). For just Dhs185, you'll get a range of sample dishes from the antojitos tasting menu, plus unlimited grape or hops, as well as live music.
Dhs185 per person. Mon 7pm-11.30pm. Dubai Marine Beach Resort & Spa, Jumeirah Beach Road (04 346 1111).
Matto tells us that aperitivo is one of the "best food rituals in the universe", and we're inclined to agree. The beauty, it adds, is that "you've socialised, relaxed and had some nibbles, all before 8pm". And in honour of the tradition the team runs Aperitivo del Matto, where you can get some pre-dinner delights. For Dhs35 you'll get a drinks and what the restaurant calls a "salty snack" from the antipasti menu. Now that's some strong aperitivo game we can firmly get behind. After all, who are we to argue with tradition?
Dhs35. Daily 5pm-8pm. The Oberoi, Business Bay (04 444 1335).
This is a trendy, art-conscious eatery in the trendy, art-conscious district of d3. Molecule excels at putting together some high-quality cuisine with a European edge and the daily tapas menu is a cracking way of grabbing a post-work light bite. Dishes start from Dhs30, and you can add a hops or glass of grape for just Dhs25. If you're rounding off your working day and killing time before dinner, this is surely a no-brainer.
From Dhs30. Daily, 3pm-2am. d3 (04 245 4700).
Ting Irie
Taking aperitivo to the Caribbean is this Jamaican joint at the Souk Al Manzil in Downtown Dubai. This place is cracking for a spot of classic street food, and you can head along every day from 5pm until 8pm for a brilliant deal. Get your hands on a range of selected drinks, and tuck in to a few dishes off the menu, for just Dhs30 each.
Dhs30. Daily 5pm-8pm. Souk Al Manzil, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard, Downtown Dubai (04 557 5601).
Torno Subito

Dhs125. W Dubai – The Palm, Palm Jumeirah (04 245 5555).
Vantage Lounge
Have you been pounding the walkways of the Mall of the Emirates all day, and just need to drop your bags, take a seat and refuel? Make a beeline for Sheraton Mall of the Emirates, because this lofty bar has some cracking views up to the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah to accompany your aperitivo, where you'll get a range of bites from the menu, plus a glass (or bottle) of bubbly for Dhs75 (or Dhs150). It's also a classier spot to watch the big match on a big screen.
From Dhs75. Daily 11am-2am. Sheraton Mall of the Emirates Hotel, Al Barsha (04 377 2356).
Vista Bar + Terrace
You can enjoy some simply magnificent views of Downtown Dubai from this spot in Dubai Festival City.

Dhs99. Wed 6pm-8pm. InterContinental Dubai Festival City (04 701 1127).

Dear Friends and Mission Partners,
Merry Christmas!! As we celebrate the advent of Jesus Christ; God come to earth as a human being, now seated at the right hand of the Father and ready to return to earth to set things right; we remind you that He has called us to be the image of God in the world as well. Our mission is to make disciples and that takes time devoted to relationship. Joyce and I have been in Micronesia now for over 31 years. We have raised our children here and now 4 of our grandchildren are here with us. We have seen multiple generations of students come through our classrooms and home. Through all of this God has enabled us to build relationships within the churches and communities of Guam and Micronesia. We are amazed at what God has done in our lives and what he has done through our lives through these relationships, and we are thankful for your relationship with us and the prayers, encouragement and support that have been part of God's plan to make this happen.
We look back on a year which began with us receiving the 2015 Clyde Cook Missions Alumni award from Biola University along with Mike and Samantha (Joyce's mom and dad received the Legacy Award). It was a blessing and honor for us and for all the people of Pacific Islands University and a testimony to the faithfulness of God over the years. It ended with us able to reconnect with our partners in Chuuk and resume classes there, which had been suspended for the last 6 years. In between all of this we have seen God work in the lives of our students in meaningful ways. For example I am so proud of Janny Palsis, my intern this semester, a single mom who has been working with me, and our church, to reach out to her community, who graduated this semester with a BA in Biblical Studies.
Ultimately it is all about connection: us connecting with God and, through our connections in the community, connecting others to Christ. This is why Jesus said that we will be known and shown as the people of God by our love and unity. Christmas is the season that we remember that God showed his love to us by becoming one of us and meeting our needs, and calls us to "go and do likewise."
I would ask you to consider including PIU in your Christmas giving or becoming a "Rising Tide" partner of PIU. The Rising Tide Fund allows us to keep PIU affordable to a new generation of students by providing scholarship and operating funds to continue to hire local, non-missionary faculty and staff. We would appreciate your kind consideration of this opportunity to help us connect Jesus to more students. You can get more info about the Rising Tide fund here: http://piu.edu/make-a-donation.
We appreciate you very much. Thank you again for your support, prayers and encouragement.
Merry Christmas,
Dave and Joyce,
172 Kinney's Drive, Mangilao, Guam, 96913

Most are closed on Mondays; open Easter Monday
Save money: free entrance, or combine with bus/boat tour
The Netherlands has more museums per square mile than any other country in the world. And 92 of them are in Amsterdam.
They range from the fascinating Biblical Museum to the titillating Sex Museum and from the huge Rijksmuseum to the much smaller, but no less interesting Hash & Marijuana Museum.
Mind you, some travel guides mention that Amsterdam has 40+ museums; others 50 — and yet others a much higher number.
The difference is explained by the fact that some only count the major ones. Others also include much smaller operations, such as the Pipes Museum or the Torture Museum. Oh, and don't forget such wonderful niche collections as the Museum of Bags and Purses ('One of the 10 best museums in Europe that you've probably never heard of,' according to The Guardian.)
A few tourist guides even fall for the clever tricks of shops that market themselves as 'museums.' (Do yourself a favor: don't visit tourist traps like the Cheese Museum or the Tulip Museum.)
5 Most Popular Museums in Amsterdam
Five of the six most-visited museums in the Netherlands are located in Amsterdam:
- Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam Tickets
- Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam Tickets
- Zaansche Schans, Zaandam (near Amsterdam) Tickets
- Anne Frank House, Amsterdam Click link for tickets
- Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam Tickets
- Science Center NEMO (for kids and grown ups), Amsterdam Tickets
If you plan on visiting museums in Amsterdam, avoid long lines by buying your tickets ahead of time.
All but seven museums in Amsterdam are privately owned, and nearly all charge an entrance fee.
In a time of dwindling government subsidies, many museums have developed commercial activities, are attracting non-tourist visitors with temporary exhibits, or have accepted financial aid from sponsors.
Free or Discounted
If you love museums and plan to visit at least 4 or 5 of them during your stay in Amsterdam, the I amsterdam card is a great deal.
So are combination bus/boat tour + museum tickets:
- I Amsterdam Card Free museums plus other benefits, such as discounts at attractions and restaurants, and free use of the public transport system.
- Combination Canal Cruise + Museum Entrance
- hop-on-hop-off bus and/or boat tickets + Museum Entrance
Most Museums Don't Do Mondays
With the exception of the Rijksmuseum (the Netherlands' National Museum, which carries nearly 1 million works of art – including Rembrandt's famous Nightwatch), the Van Gogh Museum and the Stedelijk Museum (literally, Municipal Museum, but in fact the National Museum of Modern Art) most museums are closed on Mondays.
Nearly all museums are open on Easter Monday.
- Allard Pierson Museum
- Anne Frank House
- Amsterdam Museum
- Architecture Museum Het Schip
- Artis Amsterdam Zoo
- Bols Jenever Museum
- CoBraA Museum
- Hermitage Amsterdam Museum
- Hollandsche Schouwburg's War Memorial
- Nederlands Scheepvaart Museum / Netherlands Maritime Museum
- Our Lord in the Attic — Amstelkring Museum
- Rijksmuseum
- Stedelijk Museum
- Tassenmuseum Hendrikje/Museum of Bags and Purses
- Tropenmuseum – Royal Tropical Institute
- Van Gogh Museum

It seems like it's been awhile since I've done an actual restaurant review. We've been eating at home most of the time, and haven't really tried any place new. Since this is the penultimate Friday off for my summer schedule, I decided I'd scout out new eateries. I decided on Adams Bistro, which is fairly … Continue reading Adams Bistro

Payments in the travel industry, much like everything else, will have to evolve with the demands of the new generation of travelers or risk being out out to pasture. Today's new breed of travelers are becoming overwhelmingly overtaken by Millennials (yes, that word again).

Travel Industry Can Benefit from Mobile Payments
Mobile payments when traveling can be very useful because you don't have to rely on slow payment methods when you need money immediately. The travel industry spends $75 billion annually on payments but has still been extremely reluctant to tap into developing its own payments system. The PYMNTS-Amadeus research found that only 15 percent of … Continue reading Travel Industry Can Benefit from Mobile Payments

There are plenty of writing services online that have emerged recently as well as those that have been on the market for ages and have stood the test of time. And there's no doubt that some are great. But there are also plenty of others that claim to be experienced, professional, timely and supportive, but don't live up to the claims.
In our custom-writing.org review, we're going to decide whether this writing service, existent from 2006, is worth your attention and whether they live up to the highest standards imposed by other successful writing services. Stay tuned for the entire review and see for yourself.
- Range of Writing Services Offered
- Pricing, Discounts & Payment Policy
- Quality Evaluation
- Customer Support
- Customer Reviews
Criteria #1: Range of Writing Services Offered (Mark - 16/20)
Several custom-writing.org reviews didn't cover the topic of their service. We had to mention this because it is one of the most important aspects, but they failed to deliver. We wanted to see if they can take on other tasks that weren't on their list on the website, and just as we suspected they weren't able to take on the task.
For a company that claims to offer so much, it's quite surprising that they can't deliver essays on different kinds of topics, but only on a select few. It raises the questions of whether they are actually truly the experts that they claim to be.
Criteria #2: Pricing, Discounts & Payment Policy (Mark - 12/20)
Custom-writing.org has the usual price chart on their website, and their prices are based on the common four factors: academic level, assignment type, number of pages and deadline. This is not a new system, and they don't seem to be original when it comes to their pricing system.
You can get an instant price quote if you can't calculate how much your order will be, and there's more. They have three kinds of discounts, ranging from a lifetime discount to a first-time order one, enabling you to achieve a discount from 3% to 15%. They don't go into great detail since their discounts are personalized for each of their clients.

They don't go into great detail since their discounts are personalized for each of their clients.
Criteria #3: Quality Evaluation (Mark - 8/20)
When it comes to ordering essays online, your primary concern should be the quality of the papers. Overall, we were not happy with what we were delivered. When we ordered our essay, we were expecting something completely different.
It wasn't formatted properly and there were a few not so well researched pieces of information in the essay which we would remove if we wanted to avoid problems. Unfortunately, they don't seem to offer the best services, and there are definitely other websites that you can turn to, to get your hands on high-quality papers.
Criteria #4: Customer Support (Mark - 10/20)
You have several options. You can contact them via mail, email, phone or chat, but they are not as responsive as they claim to be. In fact, we tried calling them, and we never ended up speaking with a person, as we were kept on the line for an hour listening to the machine. Our emails haven't been answered yet, and for customer service, this is really irresponsible, especially if you're catering to students with deadlines who need to be able to contact the company for updates.
If you want a service that gets back to you and actually wants to talk to you about your assignment, then this is definitely a bad choice.
Criteria #5: Customers Reviews (Mark - 14/20)
Manny U.
Conclusion: We hope that our custom-writing org review helped you make the right decision, which is not to buy anything from this company if you want a decent paper in your hands.
"It's a good thing that I asked for a quote, because they are really expensive. Don't try to calculate it yourself, because the price will end up being higher anyways! I bought a paper once, and never again"Lindsey
"I wanted help with my dissertation and since this is quite an important academic assignment, I wanted to speak to my dissertation writer. They kept delaying this, until I was finally told me all writers are busy and can't chat with me! Can you believe it?"Jamie O.
"I am not the grammar expert, but even I could tell this was poorly written. And I'm not sure whether it was double checked either, because it was very sloppy. Not getting my coins again."
Manny U.
"My friends recommended these guys, but my experience is not nearly as positive as his. I personally wouldn't trust this guys to work on your dissertation, they are simply not that good. Sorry."Tim
"Wouldn't buy from this company again. Everything was a complete miss, from the customer support to the paper. I could write an entire essay about how bad my experience was, but I won't give them the pleasure of writing them one, as they were not able to write one for me.
Conclusion: We hope that our custom-writing org review helped you make the right decision, which is not to buy anything from this company if you want a decent paper in your hands.

New Research Reveals That 95 of Bloggers Suffer From the Pathetic Blog Traffic (PBT) Disease, And You Could Be One of Them!
Ask yourself if you feel like this every day:
Read the rest of this page to discover how you can cure this condition once and for all, and generate tons of eager buyers and loyal customers to your blog instantly...
From the Desk of Gobala Krishnan & [YourName]
Date: Thursday, September 27, 2012.
RE: The Cure for Lack of Blog Traffic
Dear Frustrated Blogger,
We're at the brink of the worst epidemic in Internet marketing history. This disease is dangerous and infectious.
But it's not a disease that affects your body
It affects your mind.
This disease, which starts from severe depression due to the lack of blog traffic, has already claimed the willpower and spirits or thousands of would-be millionaires.
If youre already suffering from PBT, I strongly recommend that you fight this disease now with everything you have, before it completely kills off your blog, and your motivation for success.
But first let me tell you about me, and why Im recommending this cure to you...
You see, a few months back I was an absolute newbie in the blogging world. In fact, I was afraid of the word blog.
To me it just seems like a whole lot of baloney mixed with a toxic dose of jargon that just was not worth my time...
When I finally decided to take the plunge and give this blogging thing a try, I began to feel nauseous, overwhelmed by the amount of new things I had to learn from scratch.
I started to get emotionally stressed out.
My blog traffic was pathetic, and I had no idea how to change the way things were at that time
For no apparent reason, I started checking my blog stats to see if I had more visitors than yesterday. I did this like a mad man, and till this day I cant really explain why I behaved like I did..
Why was I doing the same things over and over again, expecting different results?
I dont know...
I started to get bitter and angry when I saw other people boasting about how much money theyre making. I HATED to see all those big commission checks people were posting on their blogs
Soon, I realized that I was suffering from PBT or Pathetic Blog Traffic.
I know a lot of people like you face the same thing every day. You want to make more money and you know that the key to that is to start getting more traffic to your blog.
But the question is HOW?
Before I tell you, let me show you the magical impact this cure had on my traffic and my earnings:

Fresh call for rail re-nationalisation after East Coast mainline comes back under government control
There have been fresh calls from the Labour party for the rail network to be re-nationalised as the East East mainline through Stevenage and Peterborough came back under government control.
Stagecoach and Virgin agreed to pay £3.3 billion to run the franchise until 2023 but the contract was ended prematurely after they failed to hit revenue targets.
Now the line has been re-nationalised for the third time after successive private companies failed to keep the trains running.
The company now running the line is know as London North Eastern Railway (LNER) and will be run by the same managing director, David Horne.
Labour were campaigning at stations calling for the re-nationalisation of all the private rail operating companies.

Although everyone's time in high school is different, there is something that many of us get to enjoy all across the country. Prom. Yes, this school dance is a chance for us to dress up, party with our friends, and feel glamorous. Could life get any better? Actually, yes. You might have a chance to be crowned prom king/queen!
Over the years, we have got the chance to see many celebrity photos of their time at prom. But what about when their mini-me dresses up and heads off to their very own big night? Now, it's time for the celebs to move over as their children are here to show us all how it's really done. Prom better watch out. These celebrity children are coming to get you.
Cori Broadus (Snoop Dogg)
Imagine having Snoop Dogg for a father? Only one of the most famous faces in music – no biggy. Although he is often jetting off all around the world promoting his latest work, that doesn't mean Snoop Dogg forgets about his four children back at home.
However, it was back in 2017 that Snoop went full father mode as his only daughter, Cori, got ready for her big prom night. The entire family took to Instagram to wish Cori the best night of her life, as well as talking about how proud they were to watch their little one grow up. Plus, we got to see Cori rocking her bronze, glitzy ball gown on with her date on her arm. How touching!
Brentt Leakes (NeNe Leakes)
NeNe rose to fame thanks to landing a spot on the reality show The Real Housewives of Atlanta. So perhaps it's no wonder her son, Brentt, has taken so well to a life in the spotlight? This proud momma couldn't wait to pose with her youngest son as he showcased his maroon suit back in 2017.
As if that wasn't enough, his father was even there to help straighten his bowtie. Brentt sure does know how to look suave. To top it all off, Brentt got to arrive at his prom night in style. Why? The family forked out on a brand new Rolls Royce to drive him to the dance.
Ming Lee Simmons (Kimora Lee Simmons)
It might be no surprise that Ming managed to shoot such stunning prom photos after learning she has had some help from her model mother. Could the teenager be destined for a life in front of the camera? Ming certainly turned a few heads at her prom night thanks to simple champagne-colored dress.
The teenager finished off the entire look with a slick ponytail and simple accessories. She proves you don't need anything over the top to be the center of attention. At least not when you have Kimora Lee Simmons as your mom.
Sasha Gabriella Fox (Vanessa Williams and Rick Fox)
An actress for a mom and retired basketball player for a father – could life get any better for young Sasha? The teenager even had some help for her outfit thanks to mom, Vanessa, stepping in to be her daughter's hair and makeup artist for the evening.
Sasha opted for a bright berry number to showcase her natural beauty, and wore her hair in a tousled side 'do to bring it all to life. This look proves you don't need professionals to rock prom night; sometimes it just takes a mother's touch.
Zola Murphy (Eddie Murphy)
Eddie Murphy has long been at the top of the comedy movie game thanks to his various hit roles over the years. However, in 2017, it was time for his daughter, Zola, to take the limelight.
The actor has had plenty of practice preparing for prom – and still has plenty more to come – as Eddie has nine children. Getting to see Zola head off to prom was a rare occasion as the teenager often shies away from the camera. However, she stole everyone's hearts with her simple pink number.
Dia Nash (Niecy Nash)
Over the years, Niecy has become most recognized for her time in the design show, Clean House, and is now starring in the drama series Claws. However, it was time for her to move over in 2017 as her daughter, Dia, prepared for her big night.
The proud mom documented the entire process of getting ready on her Instagram, including behind the scenes hair and makeup snaps. The finished result? A stunning Belle-inspired gown that looked absolutely fabulous.
Reginae Carter (Lil Wayne and Toya Wright)
This teenager is used to a life in the spotlight thanks to her rapper father, Lil Wayne. As if that wasn't enough, Reginae even had her own reality series with her mom, Toya Wright.
Reginae has even become a massive star on social media and been part of the music world herself. If there anything she can't do? Apparently not as the teen rocked her prom in this sheer gown. Thankfully, Reginae even had time to pose for a snap with her mom before the big night.
Karina Gravano (Karen Gravano)
Karen Gravano was one of the leading ladies in the reality show Mob Wives for nearly five years. Throughout the show, we got to see the women and their families, including Karen's daughter, Karina.
The teen might have joined the show as a youngster, but in 2017 she was heading off to her big night at prom. Thankfully, we got to see a snippet from the night thanks to this mom's upload of her daughter looking ready to rock the dance floor in her pink diamante gown with her date by her side.
Gia Giudice (Teresa Giudice)
There was no shortage of glamor when it was time for Gia Giudice to head off to prom back in 2017. The daughter of the reality TV star and actress, Teresa Giudice, went for a pink theme as she tied her makeup, corsage, and dress together with this subtle color palette.
As if that wasn't enough, Gia was treated to her very own photoshoot before she headed to the dance, including a winning snap with her mom by her side.
Jaden Smith (Will Smith)
Jaden Smith has often caught our eye for his intricate and stylish looks. However, this year, the teen kept it simple for his prom outfit. Jaden uploaded a snap of his black suit finished off with a gold chain to Twitter where fans went wild at the chance to see inside the star's private life.
As if that wasn't enough, Jaden even had his actress girlfriend, Odessa Adlon, by his side for the big event. It looks as though they had fun as the pair didn't get home until nearly 5 am, according to their social media.
Nina Simone Smith (LL Cool J)
LL Cool J has plenty of work under his belt, including a successful music career, and blossoming acting career, including his current role in the crime drama show NCIS: Los Angeles.
While LL Cool J is dominating Hollywood, his daughter is quickly taking over social media. In 2017 we got to see Nina's dress as she posed for a snap before the dance. The teen opted for a matching dress and heel combination while keeping her hair simple with some braids.
Aiyanna Epps (Omar Epps)
Believe it or not, but actor Omar Epps has a teenage daughter old enough to be heading off to prom! The pair shared a snap of Aiyanna getting ready for the night with the help of her dad in this touching upload.
Aiyanna kept is classy with a little black dress and dark lipstick, while giving the outfit some life with a bling choker. Although their photo might not have given away the whole outfit, it was the perfect snap to capture the special moment.
Dylan Douglas (Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas)
Actress Catherine Zeta-Jones couldn't wait to show the world her son, Dylan, as he dressed up for his prom in May 2018. The teen kept it simple with a black tux and bowtie combo, but still managed to inject some class with his casual pose.
The entire family, and Dylan's date, spent the afternoon taking snaps around the house before hosting a pre-prom party to celebrate the big night. Why can't we all have parents that cool?
Makayla Epps (Mike Epps)
Choosing a yellow gown is one way to make sure you stand out from the crowd, and Makayla sure knows how to work the room in her canary prom outfit. The best bit about choosing such a bold gown?
The teen didn't need dazzling accessories to bring it to life. No, Makayla just wore her winning smile instead. However, she couldn't forget to get a snap alongside her actor father, Mike Epps, before heading off into the night.
Phoenix Chi Brown (Mel B)
Growing up with a glamorous singer for a mom sets quite the standard for anyone, especially when Mel B is used to hanging around with the likes of fashion icon Victoria Beckham. However, Phoenix did anything but let the side down as she posed for her prom photo with her date.
As if that wasn't enough, the teen even raided her mom's wardrobe for the outfit the night of the prom. Talk about keeping it last minute! Her date also made quite the impression after arriving to collect Phoenix in his orange Bugatti. It's alright for some.
Ariana Biermann (Kim Zolciak)
Although Kim Zolciak is used to being in front of the camera thanks to her time as a reality star, her daughter, Ariana, often keeps her private life away from the media. However, in 2018, the teenager gave us a chance to see her prom outfit thanks to this upload.
Ariana attended the big night with her partner, Collin, who even went all out for his promposal with a light-up sign. Ariana opted for a large red rose covered dress, while Collin wore a bowtie to suit the color scheme.
Omikaye Phifer (Mekhi Phifer)
It isn't just the girls that can wear eye-catching outfits to prom. Omikaye stole the show with his three-piece matching suit, but still kept it fresh with some dark sunglasses.
Omikaye is the son of actor Mekhi Phifer who has been in productions such as the medical drama series ER, the sci-fi show Torchwood: Miracle Day, and the drama movie 8 Mile over the years. In 2017, the Hollywood star couldn't wait to show the world this snap of Omikaye before heading off to the big event.
Noelle Robinson (Cynthia Bailey)
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star, Cynthia Bailey, couldn't wait to share snaps of her daughter's prom from 2017 with the world. In fact, the photos almost looked like a shoot you might find in a magazine. How can one person look so glamorous?
Noelle kept it simple with a pastel pink floor-length gown. However, the teen added in some detail with a lace-up back and strappy heels. Noelle then finished off the entire look with some simple yet stunning curls in her hair. Perfect.
Atiana de la Hoya (Shanna Moakler)
Shanna Moakler hit the big time after landing a career as a Playboy model. Perhaps that's why her daughter, Atiana, is so comfortable in front of the camera? Over the years we have been able to see Atiana as she grows up, but in 2018 we got to see the teenager as she headed off for prom.
Shanna got all sentimental as she reminisced about the memories she has shared with her daughter over the years after uploading this snap of Atiana in her little black prom outfit.
Maude Apatow (Leslie Mann and Judd Apatow)
Maude Apatow is the elder daughter of director Judd Apatow and actress Leslie Mann (a perfect match if you ask us). She actually made several appearances in comedies starring her mother and directed by her father, like This is 40, Funny People, and Knocked Up.
She looked lovely going to prom in a beautiful silk dress and a wavy bob hairdo. She's also wearing a gorgeous corsage that perfectly fits her dress – nice choice, Maude's date!
Lily Mo Sheen (Kate Beckinsale and Michael Sheen)
You may recall actors Kate Beckinsale and Martin Sheen pulled the most embarrassing move on their daughter Lily when they received a letter saying she was accepted to college.
The two posted pictures of themselves looking all kinds of thrilled at the big news, as any parents would be – and it was adorable. Their beautiful daughter went to prom wearing a red dress, with natural makeup and a relaxed hairdo. For the daughter of such huge stars, she certainly seems down-to-earth.
Lola Ripa (Kelly Ripa)
This actress rose to fame thanks to her time on the soap opera All My Children. However, it looks as though it's time for Kelly's mini-me, Lola, to take center stage.
Over the years, the mother/daughter team have had plenty of fights thanks to Kelly uploading snaps of her daughter to social media without her permission. Thankfully, it seems as if Lola approved of this photo as we got the chance to see the star before heading off to prom in 2018.
Paris Jackson (Michael Jackson)
Paris Jackson is daughter of the legendary late king of pop, Michael Jackson, and nurse Debbie Rowe. All grown up now, Paris headed to prom after dyeing her blonde pixie cut in a blue shade to match her date's prom dress.
The actress and model looked cool as ever wearing a suit and tie that matches her hair. She posted the picture on her Instagram page, saying, "Only true friends dye their hair to match their gal's prom gown."
Sailor Brinkley Cook (Christie Brinkley)
Sailor Brinkley Cook is basically an exact copy of her mother, famous supermodels Christie Brinkley, who began modeling in the '70s. The resemblance between the two is uncanny, and Sailor is even following in her mother's footsteps with her own modeling career, recently appearing in an issue of Sports Illustrated.
Sailor looked adorable going to prom with her date. She wore a pink-beige lace dress with a deep cut, and looked particularly excited going to the special event.
Ava Phillippe (Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe)
Another celebrity daughter who's an exact lookalike of her mother is Ava Phillippe, who in some pictures might be confused for her mother, Reese Witherspoon.
The daughter of two famous actors has been known to be quite the fashionista, rocking amazing outfits out in public, and things were no different when she went to her prom. She posted this prom photo on her social media, wearing a beautiful cream gown with a thigh split and looking absolutely gorgeous!
Mingus Reedus (Norman Reedus and Helena Christensen)
Mingus Reedus is the son of famed The Walking Dead actor Norman Reedus and his ex, Danish model and photographer Helena Christensen. The two may be split up, but they came together in support of their son as he graduated, telling him how proud they are.
The young model attended his prom with a simple black tux, while his date wore a luxurious burgundy maxi dress. The couple looked super-cute together, hugging each other closely in their prom picture.
Maya Thurman-Hawke (Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke)
Power couple Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke are two extremely talented actors, both famous in the industry, and both beautiful. So it's no wonder that their daughter, Maya Thurman-Hawke, is quite a looker herself.
The actress and model has a unique sense of style, and her prom photos look like they should be out of a magazine. She wore a navy blue dress with a stripy pattern on its skirt, and was also sporting a particularly fashionable short bob.
Presley Gerber (Cindy Crawford)
Presley Gerber is the son of renowned supermodel Cindy Crawford, and we think it's safe to say the apple didn't fall far from this stunning looking tree. Presley takes after his mother in looks (including those legendary eyebrows) as well as careers, as he's signed onto IMG Models agency.
The model attended his prom in a sleek black suit. He posted this fun photo to his social media account, and it seems he and his date had a pretty fun time.
Delilah Belle Hamlin (Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin)
Delilah Belle is the eldest daughter of actress and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Rinna, and her husband Harry Hamlin. The beauty is pursuing a career in modeling, doing fashion campaigns, walking the runway in fashion shows, and modeling bathing suits.
So it's no surprise that her prom photo looks like a part of a modeling campaign. Delilah Belle looks stunning in her black Bec & Bridge dress, standing beside her then-boyfriend, Aidan Reilly.
Amelia Hamlin (Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin)
Just a year after her older sister, Delilah Belle, went to her prom, it was Amelia's time to have her own glamorous night. Mother Lisa Rinna shared photos of her radiating younger daughter posing with a group of friends.
Amelia not only looked gorgeous, but she looked beaming with happiness on the occasion, wearing a plunging black dress perfectly complementing her figure. Like her sister, Amelia is also an aspiring model, and we think she's definitely got what it takes.
Lily-Rose Depp (Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis)
Lily-Rose Depp is the daughter of the famous and extremely versatile actor Johnny Depp, and his ex-girlfriend musician Vanessa Paradis. Young Lily-Rose is an aspiring actress and model, and she certainly has the good looks to back it up.
The actress is also recovering from an eating disorder she's been struggling with. She looked absolutely gorgeous in the unique pink velvet gown she wore to her high school prom, with her hair down and natural looking makeup.
Harley Quinn Smith (Kevin Smith)
You may be surprised, but Harley Quinn Smith actually went to the same prom as Lily-Rose Depp. The two are actually best friends and quite inseparable, according to Harley Quinn's dad, hilarious comedy director, writer, and actor Kevin Smith.
Kevin is known for movies like Mallrats, Clerks, Chasing Amy, and Dogma. His daughter also looked amazing going to prom with her date, in a black gown with a plunging neckline, and her hair slicked back.
Alexandra Feely (Jay Feely)
Alexandra (or Lexi) Feely is the daughter of former NFL player Jay Feely, who now serves as commentator and member of the School of the Legends online community.
The former football player actually received much backlash for tweeting his picture holding a firearm, as he stands between his daughter and her date on their way to prom. While initially meant as a joke, the regretful father then apologized for the photo, saying it was in bad taste.
Chloe Lukasiak (Christi Zook Lukasiak)
Chloe is Christi Lukasiak's daughter, whom you may remember from the Lifetime reality TV show, Dance Moms. Christi often bumped heads with dance teacher Abby Lee Miller for favoring Maddie Ziegler (who's danced in Sia's music videos).
Chloe isn't just a dancer, but also an actress and a model. She wore this unique Brandon Maxwell dress to prom, and looked great in the bright orange and fuchsia halter dress. Her date is looking pretty dapper himself, and the two definitely make for a cute couple.
Hailie Mathers (Eminem)
Remember little Hailie, Eminem's daughter? Well, she's all grown up now. The famous rapper's daughter isn't really following in her father's footsteps regarding her career choice, but prefers to stay out of the limelight while she attends Michigan State University (which didn't stop her from getting a million Instagram followers).
The gorgeous blonde didn't just attend prom, she was actually elected Homecoming Queen, and looked beautiful on her special night in a puffy fairytale dress.
Gia Giudice and Frank Catania Jr. (Teresa Giudice and Dolores Catania)
The Real Housewives of New Jersey fans got a nice little surprise when they woke up in June 2019 to the news that Teresa Giudice's daughter and Dolores Catania's son decided to go to prom together.
The two obviously looked lovely and it looks like the event was kicked off at a party at the Giudice's home beforehand with dozens of students in attendance. We hope they had a great time and danced the night away together.
Brielle Biermann (Kim Zolciak)
Brielle Biermann is the daughter of The Real Housewives (and part-time pop star) Kim Zolciak. The stylish daughter is rocking a romantic flower-embellished dress that goes great with her gorgeous, half-up, blond-highlighted hair.
Brielle was sure to wow all her classmates in this wedding dress-inspired ensemble, which hopefully she didn't get her prom date too worried about any surprise nuptials. In any case, there's not doubt in our minds that Kim truly was a proud mama when she got a load of her stunning young daughter.

Mother Nature has not been kind to the Whitsundays over the past decade. Cyclone Debbie hit in 2017 and Cyclone Marcia just two years before that. In 2011 Tropical Cyclone Anthony swept through, as did Cyclone Yasi, which the Bureau of Meteorology described as "one of the most powerful cyclones to have affected Queensland since records commenced".
There has been a lot of damage and devastation. But out of the debris have sprung four remarkable new resorts that celebrate tropical north Queensland with both design and activities. From Airlie Beach to Hayman Island they welcome visitors back to one of the most alluring pockets of the country. Here are the retreats you need to add to your bucket list, stat.
Elysian Retreat
Few resorts are as exclusive as Elysian: you arrive by helicopter, then check in to one of only 10 beautifully appointed beachfront villas. On a private cove enveloped by rainforest, this is the only accommodation – the only development – on the entire Long Island, which means the maximum number of other guests you'll be sharing paradise with is 18.
A redux of the award-winning Paradise Bay Eco Resort – left closed for many years following Marcia and Debbie – Elysian's villas ooze barefoot-luxe charm, from the Australian hardwood furnishings and floors to the light-capturing cathedral ceilings. Yet all the style doesn't come at the expense of sustainability; the retreat is 100 per cent solar-powered.
Between swings in the hammock, make the most of the lagoon-style pool filled with stress-relieving magnesium water, glide by the sights on a paddleboard or in a glass-bottomed kayak, explore the Coral Sea on a guided snorkelling tour with a marine biologist, or retreat to the resort's breezy restaurant, where produce comes from the on-site organic garden as well as nearby farms. elysianretreat.com.au
InterContinental Hayman Island Resort
Since switching management a number of times since millionaire Reg Ansett – the founder of now-defunct airline Ansett Australia – built it in the 1950s, Hayman Island resort's newest incarnation is by the InterContinental Hotel Group. The most northerly of the Whitsunday Islands, Hayman's $135-million makeover touched everything from the five restaurants and bars to the 166 rooms and suites, scattered across three wings in a crisp palette of ivory, beige and chocolate.
If money is no object, you'll want to book the 400-square-metre Beach House overlooking the sand and featuring three suites, each with a private pool. For everyone else, there are two other places to swim, including the hotel's signature lagoon-style pool you can slip straight into from some rooms.
The resort is alone on the 400-hectare island, with the Great Barrier Reef and some of the world's best diving and snorkelling on its doorstop. You can jump in a chopper and head for a private picnic on the sparkling sand at Whitehaven Beach, via an overhead loop of Heart Reef – a picture-perfect composition of coral that has naturally formed into the shape of a heart. intercontinental.com
Daydream Island
Like Hayman and Elysian, the damage classic Aussie resort Daydream sustained after Cyclone Debbie was sizeable. The only structure on the kilometre-long island of the same name, a 30-minute ferry ride from Airlie Beach (on the mainland), Daydream was forced to shut and undergo a mammoth $100-million makeover, and recently re-opened looking sharper than ever.
One of the largest properties in the Whitsundays, with 277 rooms, this is probably the most family-friendly of the new crop of openings (there are kids clubs and babysitting facilities, and the Living Reef is perfect for young explorers).
Hike through the rainforest for views over the Great Barrier Reef, recline at the alfresco cinema, chopper over the islands, or explore the region's marine diversity at the Living Reef. This enormous free-form coral lagoon, fed by ocean water, comes with an underwater observatory, designed to help visitors learn about their fragile surrounds while contributing to its conservation and restoration. Join marine biologists to learn about rays, cod, bream and butterfly fish, help plant coral, or just enjoy gliding through one of the world's most incredible underwater ecosystems. daydreamisland.com
Freedom Shores, Airlie Beach
If you like the idea of staying on a boat but don't have the budget to charter a mega-yacht to cruise the Coral Sea, you can bed down in one of Freedom Shores' 10 bungalows designed to resemble fishing boats (right down to their ship-bearing names). It sounds kitsch, but it's far from being like a theme park; the rooms come with a patio and locally made bathroom amenities, and nautical-themed artwork.
There's a pool with views over Pioneer Bay, and day excursions include fishing and snorkelling. Volleyball nets are set up over the sand in the shade of tall palm trees, some from the set of Pirates of the Caribbean, which was shot nearby. And then you'll find Shangri-La, one of the boats in General MacArthur's fleet during WWII, now used to prop up a deck where you can enjoy sunset drinks at the bar.

What was surprising, however, was the intensity of the reaction from some of the Web's more caustic pockets, like Reddit's Men's Rights forums.Sarkeesian, a Canadian-American of Armenian descent, became the target of a stream of Internet harassment, which included hateful words for Jews, blacks, and gays.While manually reviewing every Tweet is not possible due to Twitter's global reach and level of activity, we use both automated and manual systems to evaluate reports of users potentially violating our Twitter Rules." Twitter also reminded users of a relatively new feature allowing them to report individual tweets from its i Phone, Twitter pursues the John Stuart Mill-infused "American free-speech ideal" (as opposed to the European stance, which, owing to its history of Fascism, regards suppressing hate speech as a means of promoting democracy) more powerfully than the other social-media tech giants.Twitter, writes Rosen, has "explicitly concluded that it wants to be a platform for democracy rather than civility." The company doesn't ban hate speech at all.(It also encourages users to contact law enforcement if they receive specific threats.Suspension of an account, after all, can't stop a criminal en route to your house.) But if you are a woman who has received repeated threats of rape, even "indirect" threats—maybe even ones meant as a joke—may feel pretty darn direct.On Sunday, Scotland Yard arrested a twenty-one-year-old man in Manchester in connection with a deluge of hostile tweets threatening to rape and kill Criado-Perez, delivering a measure of legal recourse. "We Hear You," it wrote, in the same pal-to-pal tone that other capitalist giants of the start-up era often choose to employ.On Monday, Twitter responded to the uproar on its U. The press release, signed by Del Harvey, the senior director of trust and safety, stated, "We are not blind to the reality that there will always be people using Twitter in ways that are abusive and may harm others.
It is no accident that certain citizens, exposed to a newly open and immediate platform, exploit it as a chance to violate civility.
If anyone wants to report the tweets to Twitter."A petition began circulating to make it easier to report abuse on Twitter, demanding a "zero tolerance policy on abuse"; by now, over a hundred thousand people have signed it.
A Labour MP named Stella Creasy published an op-ed defending Criado-Perez in the Guardian this weekend, headlined, "Twitter's inadequate action over rape threats is itself an abuse." Shortly after it went live, she began to receive rape threats herself. IM GONNA RAPE YOUR ASS AT 8PM AND PUT THE VIDEO ALL OVER THE INTERNET." The attacks led to a proposal, from the popular feminist and columnist Caitlin Moran, for a Twitter "Trolliday," a day when Internet trolling is especially discouraged.
As soon as the Bank decreed that Jane Austen's likeness would be featured on ten-pound note, Criado-Perez was subject to an online onslaught.
In her words, she received "about 50 abusive tweets an hour for about 12 hours." It was so many, she tweeted, that "I actually can't keep up with the screen-capping & reporting—rape threats thick and fast now.
If a user makes a specifically violent threat, Twitter will remove the threat, or even the user.

16 min. w/u (2 miles)
Target: 3 mile, 2 mile, 3 mile, 2 mile @6:30-6:40 pace w/800m jog rest
Actual: 19:47 (6:41, 6:34, 6:32); 13:11 (6:36, 6:35); 19:43 (6:34, 6:40, 6:29); 13:11 (6:37, 6:34)
12 min. c/d (1.5 miles)
Total: 15 miles
Well. This certainly didn't end up feeling as easy as I thought it would. The first interval was quite comfortable but things got ugly in a hurry. The second three-mile interval (and particularly the second mile of this interval) was one of the low points of my entire life. Okay, that may be an exaggeration, but it was certainly the low point of this workout. As I told Jilane and Jeff later, "I felt like a Special Olympian out there." To be honest I wasn't sure how the last interval would pan out, but I managed to hold it together and resisted the temptation to fling myself into the river. Round about the halfway point of that segment, I found myself engaging in an internal dialogue that went something like this:
Me #1: I'm pretty sure I can't go any faster.
Me #2: Then don't.
Me #1: But this is embarrassing. I should not be trying this hard and still running so slowly.
Me #2: Well, are you putting forth your best effort?
Me #1: Well yeah.
Me #2: Then that's all you can ask for. Now shut up and finish the workout.
I'm not schizophrenic, by the way. Also, a word about the dirt surface of the trail. I have to believe/hope/pray that it adds at least 5-7 seconds per mile versus the road or track. I feel so slow and am constantly without traction here. That said, the ability to run 15 miles and never once touch pavement is wonderful from a self-preservation standpoint, so it's not like I'm complaining per se. Just hopeful that my sluggishness isn't 100% my own fault.
Overall, I thought I would be able to run considerably faster on this workout, and got a rude awakening. I'm trying to put a positive spin on things and say that I ran 15 miles with 10 miles @ 6:35 pace. That doesn't sound too bad.

First of all, I just want to say that I have started a new job! That is a yay for me and a nay for blogging! Between working, and painting furniture, I have to fit in some time to make art and time to spend with loved ones. Oh, and there is some me time too. Part of my me time involves walking around town by the seafront or spending some time in my little garden.
Here are a few photos that I would like to share with you since I haven't really got anything profound to say right now!
As much as I love the look and smell of these lillies, they are my nemesis when it comes to painting them! One day I will find a way to paint them in a way that I will be happy with.
My garden has outdone itself with these Cala Lillies. They are so beautiful.
I bought some beautiful orange and purple Gladioli. I'm really looking forward to painting these also!
Some of what we have growing along the seafront!

MNP careers are Different by Design. As an entrepreneurial firm, we truly believe there are no limits to where your career can go.
The farming industry is as strong and vibrant as ever. But to ensure ongoing success, one must evolve to better manage the pressures and increased risks you may face. A new business model many of our grain growers are considering is amalgamating with a number of other families / producers to form a 'mega farm.'
Choosing to operate as a mega farm can lead to numerous benefits. Perhaps the biggest advantage is the ability to strengthen overall management and pool key resources. To effectively manage a farming operation day-to-day, farmers require skills and experience in more than just agriculture, including marketing, operational issues, finance and human resources.
In sharing management duties, there is an opportunity to determine which roles are required and develop the skill sets necessary to carry out those roles. The members of the mega farm can then be matched to the positions that suit their unique abilities and experience. This approach not only improves success in the various areas of farm management, it also reduces the stress on each individual farmer to perform all of those duties well.
Another advantage of a mega farm model is the pooling of capital and other resources such as equipment and labour, to help reduce outputs. If the members of the mega farm are spread out geographically across the province, it also allows each member to diversify. The ability to grow a variety of crops helps reduce risk, allows farmers to rotate crops and manage their land more effectively.
The mega farm model is also getting attention as it addresses one of the biggest challenges on the Western Canadian land base today—our aging population. Many farm families do not have children who want to take over the farm, but many families still want to maintain ownership of the land. To do that, they need a good rate of return. Renting the land to a mega farm is an option that reduces the cost of farming and would help keep the land in the family.
Setting up a mega farm has to be done properly to ensure the tax structure is efficient and core components of the business—including a capital plan, buying inputs, selling commodities, day-to-day operations and a human resources manual— are in place along with a trained management team to oversee them.
The game has changed and as a result, business models need to change too. By looking at farming in a new way, western producers have the opportunity to start exploring amalgamation and potentially develop a competitive edge over other jurisdictions.

I am seeing discussion from 2 years ago that even the folks at Canvas think this is a great idea-- and that this would be implemented in Speedgrader 2.0. Since then, I have heard nothing. What's the holdup?


text: I am working on my outline for book 2 in the Hidden Realms series. I keep adding, removing one plot line. The plot line makes me anxious, but that is not why I keep removing it. Things that worry me meana tension for the reader, too. I hope. Basically, the lead female character is captured and TURNED via magic. She is ordered to disrupt the efforts of our intrepid heroes, including her boyfriend the main character. That makes me anxious enough, but there is a "good" characters who will go against our heroes, and I keep thinking my magically turned heroine should be the one to convince him to revolt. She'll do that by seducing him. And THAT is what messes up my head. The female (romantic) lead betraying the male lead like that, even though she is being forced to do so by magic. My question is... Is that a NO GO in Gamelit? I know it is TABOO in romance. Since I've read very few GameLit books with a MC with a girlfriend (not counting harem books), I don't know if that would be a killer for the readers. So I ask you guys. Go, or no go with that plot line?
