Why Repurpose Plastic?
Speaking for Mother Earth, plastic is a problem. It most often ends up polluting landfills, where it can take up to 400 years to break down, or contaminating our planet's marine ecosystems. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, between 4.8 and 12.7 million metric tons of plastic waste entered the global marine environment in 2010. Those plastic particles end up contaminating animals, allowing it to work its way up the food chain where it can eventually poison the humans that eat it.
Let's work to keep plastic out of landfills and the environment. It may be easier than you think to reduce your personal plastic waste. Here are a few simple and budget-friendly ways to repurpose plastic bags.Continue to 2 of 24 below.

Oh my gosh.
So Rhema's been using pictures on her iPad to tell us she wants cheese for a little while now.
It was exciting the first time she did it with assistance and even more thrilling when she did it independently.
And then of course it turned into a stim. I think.
I'd wonder, Is she stimming? Is she requesting? Is she really understanding any of this? (Sometimes when she wants cheese she taps out something quite different like "I am nine years old. I am nine years old. I am nine years old.")
And then of course there's that dilemma. You want to encourage her efforts, show her the power of language by granting her request. But you also have to show her she can't always have everything she wants.
Last night we had a full house with Brandon's parents in town and some old friends from Michigan over for dinner.
Rhema had already had enough cheese for the day. (We've actually been giving her a non-dairy cheese called Daiya.) She reached for my hand several times throughout dinner and I knew she wanted to lead me to the refrigerator. I resisted her; No more cheese.
She went to her iPad and the app's automated voice informed us all:
"I want cheese. I want cheese. I want cheese. I want cheese. I want cheese."
Exasperated, I reached over and pressed my response:
"No. No. No. No."
And you know what happened next, right?
This child did not miss a beat. She tapped:
"Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes."
I mean. How do you begin to describe the moment you realize that it's all true? That your girl who seems so far away, humming and spinning, and seemingly unaffected by the things around her, is really right there with you. Taking it all in, learning, understanding, communicating, showing you more and more of her beautiful, intelligent, sassy self.
I wanted to faint, laugh, cry, cheer, and send her to room (just kidding) all at the same time!
Laughter is what came out. Deep, joyful, heart-healing laughter. I laughed all night.
Oh, and I fell over myself getting her that cheese. 🙂

When you become a mother you automatically assume many different roles, most of which you love and seem to become more of a identity than a role others though are not so appealing.
1. A mother.
The woman that nurtures her children. A care giver.
2. A maid.
The woman that cleans up are her children. Washing the dishes and keeps the house in order.
3. A chair.
You sit down for a 5 minuet break and within a blink of an eye you have someone sitting on your lap weather they were invited or not.
4. A punching bag.
I do not mean tis literally. I mean this metaphorically. No matter what age your child is, if something isn't going quite rite you can bet it is your fault. Weather it's an over tired baby or a teenage tantrum… You got it you'll take the brunt of there mood.
5. A dummy.
Once your a mother you become a soothing divice. As a new born it tends to be feeding to sleep but as they get older then can become attached to suckling just for comfort and when you think you've cracked that habit. It'll turn into cuddles, hair twiddling which even soothing action your child enjoys.
6. A climbing frame.
What you don't realise is that you have a sign on you that only your children can see which read "climb on me" or "jump on me".
7. A chef.
From around 6 months old you become a personal chef, your rolls include:
Cooking 3 meals a day.
Remembering that today they don't like broccoli but tomorrow they will.
Smiling when they show no interest and even some disgust to the food you've spent the last hour lovingly preparing for them.
Producing food on demand. "I'm hungry now not in 15 minutes when it's ready, so I'm going to have a melt down and slow down the process even more".
8. A bank.
The expression "bank of mum" springs to mind. Yes everyone knows children are expensive and it doesn't get any easier the older they get. It changes from a £5 toy to £20 to go out with there mates. What happened to bring given £2 to get a drink and chocolate bar and a packet or crisps whilst you were out doing free activities (ie the park or forest walks) with your friends.
9. An agony aunt.
Getting to listen to all your children's worries however comical they can seem. Keep a straight face and offer advice. Then just pray they take it.
10. An educator.
It is your duty as a mother to teach your children everything they need to know to be a well rounded individual. From empathy and love to shapes and colours. This is by far the most rewarding and is truly a perfect example of the more you put in the more you will get back.
Let me know which is your most and least favourite mum hat! Or any other hat you take on.
Much love

Srinagar, March 30, 2016 (PPI-OT):In occupied Kashmir, pro-India National Conference President, Farooq Abdullah, has called for opening of all trade and travel routes along the Line of Control to enable people-to-people contact and help revive the lost glory of Jammu and Kashmir.
Farooq Abdullah addressing party workers in Srinagar said, "New Delhi and Islamabad should cooperate for opening all routes like Jammu-Sialkot, Kargil-Skardu, Mirpur-Nowshera and Turtuk-Baltistan." He said, both the countries will have to sit together to find solution to all issues.
He said National Conference would continue to encourage dialogue between New Delhi and Islamabad. "We have always maintained that Kashmir is a political issue that needs a political solution and we will continue to strive for restoration of peace," he said.
Farooq Abdullah criticized black law, Armed Forces Special Powers Act and said that genocide of Kashmiri youth was committed due to privilege enjoyed by Indian troops under this law. He said that this law caused destruction of villages upon villages in the territory.

Sitting on the laundry floor at my grandfather's place around 1953 or 1954 reading my way through the piles of the old pink Bulletin magazines he had stored there… Sigh! He of course had probably been reading it since the late 1890s.
It has had its ups and downs for sure, but I have to say the recent summer edition was really very good, and there was some excellent coverage during last year's elections.
But now the party is over.

Group Health Insurance Plans
Learn about group health insurance
Whether you're the owner of a small home-based business, or the CEO of an international corporation, you need to consider investing in a group health insurance plan to help your employees with their health costs. Group health insurance plans can be customized to suit the needs of your business, based on the number of employees you have and the types of coverage you're looking for.
The options for health insurance are endless, and depend primarily on the provider you choose. When you're shopping for an insurance provider, focus on their customer service, availability and price. The best health insurance prices are useless if the company isn't willing to help out your employees when it comes to filing claims. You should also look into the company's rate of claim denials in order to get a sense of how difficult it will be for your employees to benefit from their insurance coverage.
Group Health Insurance Rates
Your group health insurance rate can vary enormously, depending on the provider and the types of insurance you choose. You should take the time to shop around for a variety of group health insurance quotes in order to ensure that you're getting the plan that best suits you, your company and your employees.
Most insurance providers divide their group insurance plans by company size. If you have less than 50 employees, you're generally considered a small business.
Plans may be full payment, co-payment, or deductible, and come with different provider options that may include family doctors, dental or eye professionals, and other services such as massage therapy or physiotherapy.
Small Business Group Health Insurance
Small business group health insurance should focus on the needs of small companies. While you can't expect the same multi-policy discounts that many larger businesses get because they pay so much into the plan, you should be able to expect lower prices based on the likelihood of fewer claims. These plans should be more flexible than those offered to larger businesses, allowing your employees to choose things such as which physicians they can visit and which options they're most interested in.
There is evidence that employees whose employers provide them with health insurance are happier and more productive at work. So, if your financial services department questions whether your business can afford to invest in a group health insurance plan, you should question whether you can afford not to.

Hello November!
Good-bye October!
The first Thursday of the eleventh month in the year 2018…
November will have five Thursdays… (Don't forget… the Fourth Thursday is Thanksgiving!)
Last night, I sat in my driveway dressed up as "Captain America" while passing out candy to anyone who came by saying "Trick or Treat!"
Can you imagine trying to explain the tradition of Halloween to an Alien?
Captain America: "Well… you see… there's this one day out of the year where children are encouraged to dress up in a costume and walk around the neighborhood and knock on people's doors asking for candy. And guess what? People actually give the kids candy. Lots of candy. Boatloads of candy."
Alien: "What happens if they come back the next day?"
Captain America: "No Candy!"
Another interesting fact of the practice of Halloween is the wearing of "Masks"…
Some children, teenagers and even adults who approached my house were unrecognizable due to the wearing of a "mask."
From Storm Troopers to Panda Bear heads to Spiderman to Jason (from Friday the 13th movie) to a simple white mask with a smile on it… people were completely disguised!
All of which raises this question…
With Halloween being over… tell me… will you be wearing a "mask" today?
Yesterday was for fun.
Today is for real.
I am wondering if the people you encounter today will experience the true you, the real you, the authentic you, the transparent you…
Will they experience you "unmasked?"
One of the beautiful and magnificent traits of God is He loves you just as you are and not as you should be (mask), because you are never going to be as you should be.
No masks needed with God.
No masks needed with each other…
Grace and peace,
Laugh often and Fear not!
"For freedom Christ has set us free…" (Galatians 5: 1)
Ps – Don't forget to turn your clocks back one hour on Saturday night!
If you forget you will be awfully early to church!

Here is a scan of an article by Charles E. Lee that appeared in The Railway Magazine, dated August 1952. At two shillings and sixpence back then the magazine must have been a substantial purchase. I like it that our little piece of transport history appeared in a mag with two of the Southern Railway's finest on the cover. I don't know what the copyright situation is (probably dodgy, and of course I will remove the article if anyone relevant complains) but obviously I'm not gaining financially for putting this up for the benefit of those interested in local history. I do know that if anyone tried to get this through the inter-library lending arrangements the library is unlikely to recoup its costs, so Lillabullero is at least subsidising a vital public service by this action. There's a nice little acknowledgement to Sir Frank Markham at the end.
There is another, later, article from Back Track magazine, Vol 3 No 1, 1989 posted here. It has a bit more focus on the social aspects of the Tramway.

An underage female has been sentenced due to her part in the murder of Ethan Walker.
by liammccarthy
17-year-old rapper Tay-K is currently awaiting trail on a number of murder charges, stemming from a series of incidents that occurred last year in Texas. Since his arrest in July, there haven't been many developments within the legal case. However, that changes today as Tay's alleged accomplice has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for her part in the robbery and murder of Ethan Walker.
The unnamed, underaged girl allegedly helped plan a home invasion that led to Walker's death. She is the first involved to be sentenced, and will remain in a Texas prison for the next 20 years.
Four other of the accused (including Tay-K) still await trial; with one member already taking a plea deal in exchange for her testimony.
Stay tuned for more information as this story develops.

Your skin is one of the most important organs you have, as well as the biggest. The best way to look after your skin and fight breakouts is prevention and daily maintenance, rather than only dealing with spots once they appear (and its already too late!).
The wonderful thing about skin care is that it can be a quite time that becomes part of your daily self-care, and some aspects of the practices I will share here can be quite meditative to perform.
My last post covered all things spots and breakout related including how to work out what's causing your breakouts & what foods you need to be eating for a healthy skin diet. In case you missed it or need a recap you can see it What your breakouts tell you about your skin.
How to look after your skin
Looking after your skin can be split into two parts; looking after your skin from the inside out, and the external looking after your skin physically. In my post on breakouts we covered what you should be eating for a healthy skin diet to keep your skin happy from the inside. This also includes avoiding foods such as alcohol, refined sugar, anything you have an allergic or inflammation reaction to such as dairy or gluten, processed foods, & those that have man-made ingredients you can't pronounce!
If you feel you are low or aren't getting enough of one or more of the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients needed for healthy skin there are some herbal plants and natural supplements you can use to help that I will cover below. As well as some skin care recipes and body brushing techniques to keep your skin in tip-top condition, and we are covering the skin on your whole body – not just your face!
Look after your skin from the inside
Lets start with the internal side of skin care and maintenance. As i already mentioned, I covered skin friendly foods in my last post so lets move onto other things:
The simplest thing you can do for your skin is to make sure it is hydrated! Not drinking enough water throughout the day is a common problem for most people, and water is the best way to moisturise your skin from the inside out. You should be aiming to drink eight glasses of water a day.
You can add a pinch of good quality salt such as Himalayan salt to your water too if you want. This increases the vitamins and minerals you are consuming with your water. Himalayan salt contains magnesium, potassium, and may macrominerals and trace minerals that are necessary for your health. In fact many of these minerals are electrolytes.
A good portion of your cells run on electricity, we are all energy after all. Electrolytes help your cells carry an electrical charge, and there for do their job better, and give you a boost of energy.
Did you know your skin breathes too?! it actually exchanges small amounts of oxygen and carbon dioxide with the air it comes into contact with!
Your skin needs a good supply of oxygen brought to the surface to function fully. This is supplied by the oxygen in your blood stream. You can help your body in this process by taking time out to practice some breath work. Taking deep breaths and breathing from your diaphragm will make sure there's plenty of oxygen entering your blood stream, and is how we all should be breathing – so that your stomach expands, not just filling your lungs.
Not only that but taking time to sit and focus on your breathing is a form of meditation. Do this for 10 minutes each morning and it will help reduce your stress levels, and let you be better prepared for the day ahead. Reducing stress is good for your skin too, as this can also cause breakouts and spots!
Your skin needs various fatty acids, vitamins and minerals to function fully (as I covered previously when we covered a skin healthy diet). Specifically, your skin needs omega-3's to make sebum and protect the skin and allow your body to deal with inflammation. Vitamin C for collagen formation. Vitamin A to maintain and repair your skin. Vitamins D & E that act as anti oxidants. B vitamins, particularly Biotin (although a full vitamin B complex is recommended if you are taking this in supplement form), for the formation of skin hair and nail cells, elasticity, & skin hydration. It also helps keep our hormones balanced. Copper and zinc are also essential for your tissue regeneration and healing.
If you do not feel you are, or can, get enough of these essential skin nutrients from your food then you can take a variety of supplements. Always do your research firs and make sure you are getting the best quality ingredients. Your local health foods store will always be able to advise you if you are unsure.
For reference I have included the natural sources of each nutrient below (although this is not a complete list!)
Natural sources
Omega-3's are found naturally in dark green leafy vegetables, you can also eat seeds such as flaxseeds and chia seeds, walnuts, soybeans and eggs.
You can find Vitamin C in broccoli, oranges, cranberry, kiwifruit, bell peppers and strawberries.
Vitamin A is found naturally in sweet potatoes, carrots, broccoli, black eyed peas, mango, dried apricots, and spinach to name a few.
For vitamin E you can eat broccoli, spinach, seeds such as sunflower seeds, nuts including almonds, peanuts and hazelnuts, and some vegetable oils.
Vitamin D is slightly different in that your main source of vitamin D is the sun! Ideally we should be outdoors with our sin exposed to the sun for at least an hour per day. Although in the Northern hemisphere we know this is not always possible, especially in Winter months.
But there are some foods which contain small amounts too – mushrooms, tofu, fortified milks & cereals, and if you aren't veggie/vegan fatty fish such as tuna and mackerel, cheese, and beef liver.
Biotin, or B-7 is found naturally in avocados, nuts and seeds, sweet potato, yeast, salmon, and dairy products.
Your hormones can have a huge influence on the condition of your skin. Especially for women who have fluctuations in hormones during our monthly cycles. It is a change in hormone levels that causes higher testosterone than usual in your body & causes your skin to produce excess sebum, this in turn can block skin follicles and pores.
This happens just before and during menstruation, meaning at least two weeks when your skin can be inflamed and even acne prone.
To deal with hormone spots internally you can take a high dosage of a zinc supplement, a 30-45mg dose daily has been shown to reduce acne.
You can also try echinacia and thyme to help your skin & body fight the excess bacteria, cleavers red clover and yellow dock will help your body to cleanse from the inside out, as well as aiding lymphatic drainage for all round elimination and drainage.
Eliminating your body of as many toxins as possible will help with any long standing skin conditions you may have, as well as allowing your body to focus on clearing toxins from your skin. Smoking & alcohol consumption particularly take a huge toll on your skin, and toxins from processed foods and other man made ingredients which take a huge toll on your body.
To read more on how to detox your body naturally I have written a previous post How to Detox Your Body Naturally.
Skin care from the outside
A daily moisturising routine is essential to maintaining healthy skin, for both body and face.
Sesame seed oil is the most compatible with the human body, and is the oil recommended in Ayurveda. Apply oil to your body each morning after dry brushing & showering. Start at the top of your body and work your way down to your toes. Allow to dry.
For the face you can use a more delicate oil such as rosehip or jojoba which have additional benefits for your facial care. Rose hip is full of vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids that correct dark spots, reduce scars and fine lines, and hydrate dry itchy skin.
Jojoba oil will regulate sebum production, moisturise, and sooth your skin. By regulating your sebum jojoba helps prevent acne caused by blocked pores and helps relieve skin that looks oily too.
People often make the mistake of thinking that moisturising is bad when you have a breakout, but in fact that is not the case! As well as a daily moisturising ritual, you should keep up moisturising your skin when spotty too. The best way to do this is using an oil. Oil does NOT block your pores, it actually lifts dirt away from the skin, and is absorbed better than a cream moisturiser.
Body brush & scrub
Body brushing or dry brushing is a wonderful practice that helps remove dry skin cells and also stimulates your circulation. Making you skin feel soft and supple and will help with your skin texture.
Dry brushing takes only a few minutes each morning before you shower. You should start from your extremities – your hands and feet, and brush towards your heart in long circular movements. After five minutes of brushing your skin may look a little pink and feel warmer. It may feel strange to start with but you will soon get used to this.
For the best results you want to dry brush one or twice a day.
As well as dry brushing you can use a natural body scrub of coconut oil, sugar, and coffee (optional) once a month too. This not only makes your skin feel amazing, but smells amazing as you wash it off, and the addition of coffee helps with lymphatic drainage and the reduction of cellulite too.
Face scrub
Face masks and face scrubs all play a part in skin health and should be included as part of your skin care routine. The same scrub of coconut oil and sugar can be used for your face, but should only be used every other day or a few times per week. This scrub will help remove dirt and excess sebum from your pores and remove dead skin cells.
Face masks can have a variety of uses from moisturising and brightening, to cleansing and detoxing, and even soothing. You only need to use a face mask once a week at most. You can find recipes for a couple of my favourite natural face masks, as well as the sugar scrub 3 Diy face masks that are all natural.
Cleansing your skin daily is highly important for removing dirt and grime, especially if you deal with a lot of air pollution. Cleansing should be done at night, with just a simple rinse with water on a morning.
If you cleanse on a morning you will remove all of the natural oils that your face has produced in the night, and was away all of its natural protection.
To cleanse the skin an oil solution is best as it will remove make up and lift dirt and impurities from your skin. You can use coconut oil, or rosemary works well too. Apply all over the face and neck area. Wet a face cloth to remove the oil. Then rise with warm water.
After cleansing always use a toner to help close and tighten pores. Witch hazel makes a very good toner as it is both calming and an astringent to close the pores. If you have particularly dry skin, or during more oily times of the month, you can use a mixture of 1 part apple cider vinegar and 3 parts water.
If using the apple cider vinegar solution make sure to rise your face again after.
And that's it. Clean and simple. A five step daily skin care routine, plus a few extras.

Dear tinas1520- It's too bad you can't afford to keep up with your 1972 Dodge Charger. To sell it I am sure you will find buyers by listing at Cars.com, Autotrader.com or your regional version of Craigslist.com. Putting a "For Sale" sign in the window also helps. Good luck from Bovan.

Watch as four rugby legends explore their origins in a new DNA project from MyHeritage.
In the run-up to the Rugby World Cup tournament, MyHeritage brought together 4 rugby legends to see if they share more in common than a love of rugby and to find out if their DNA comes from places other than the countries they represented for so many years.
Each of the players took a MyHeritage DNA test, and were then brought together to reveal their ethnicity breakdown, information about their DNA Matches, and to share family history research that MyHeritage uncovered, including historical records and photos of their ancestors.
To learn more about the rugby legends' family stories, ethnicity results, and to watch them discuss their discoveries, visit the Rugby DNA website.

Re-opening of Route 30 After Landslide Welcomed by Brewster
Harrisburg – June 27, 2018 – The reopening of a section of U.S. 30 in East Pittsburgh that was closed due to a devastating landslide last April is excellent news for the region and will be well received by motorists and citizens, state Sen. Jim Brewster (D-Allegheny/Westmoreland) said today.
"This is excellent news for area residents who have faced travel difficulties since the road collapsed in April," Brewster said. "The roadway is used by locals and businesses and is a main access highway.
"PennDOT has done a wonderful job in moving quickly on the repairs. All those who worked to repair the road, strengthen the foundation and promote safety should be congratulated for their hard work and diligence."
The massive cleanup from a devastating landslide and reconstruction of a section of U.S. 30 began almost immediately following the collapse of the roadway. The slide occurred when a wall gave way.
"Local residents, motorists and businesses along the U.S. 30 corridor were impacted by the closure of the highway," Brewster said. "The governor, secretary of transportation, District Executive Cheryl Moon-Sirianni along with other state and county officials made resources available so the work could proceed without delay."
An estimated 21,000 vehicles a day utilize the highway. The artery had been closed in both directions.

2018 marks the 241st anniversary of the American victory at the Battle of Saratoga and the 240th anniversary of the Franco-American Alliance. But was the victory that prompted the French to join the American war effort, truly the "turning point" of the War for Independence?
In this episode of Ben Franklin's World: A Podcast About Early American History, National Book Award-winner Nathaniel Philbrick joins us to explore the two events he sees as better turning points in the American War for Independence: Benedict Arnold's treason and the French Navy's participation in the war.

Insulin patients urged to check fridge settings
Diabetics have been urged to check their fridges after a study found that their insulin may not work properly if it is stored at the wrong temperature.
Patients are often given several months' supply of insulin to store at home and it must be kept at between 2C and 8C. However, the first study of its kind suggests that many diabetics could be making their medication less effective by keeping it at the wrong temperature.
Researchers checked the temperature of 400 samples every three minutes over more than a month, and found that insulin kept in the fridge was outside the key range for two and a half hours a day. Most of this time was spent in fridges that were not cool enough, but

text: Voice How to Get the Most out of Working With Nanoinfluencers They come at a lower cost but also have a smaller fan baseBy Krishna Subramanian|December 27, 2018 Perhaps unsurprisingly, nanoinfluencers don't always leave a lasting impression since they're usually not too well known.Getty ImagesShare By Krishna Subramanian|December 27, 2018 Share When it comes to influencer marketing, is small beautiful? That's what a chorus of recent commentators would have you believe. The New York Times is only one of many outlets to hype the potential of under-the-radar social media figures to drive outsized impact on awareness and consideration. With audiences numbering in the low thousands, these niche content creators are said to offer a level of relatability no Kardashian can match, along with being much cheaper to work with. What's not to like?Not so fast, though. Nanoinfluencers may have big dreams, but their real influence and potential remain just as small as their name implies. When you're looking to spend millions of media dollars on influence at scale, bringing nanoinfluencers into your campaign is likely to be a highly frustrating and largely futile exercise.That's not to say that there's no place for nanoinfluencers. With low costs, high authenticity and an eager-to-please stance toward their sponsors, they can indeed offer an interesting alternative or complement to traditional influencer marketing. The key is to keep your expectations realistic and go about it in the right way. Put them in the right part of your budget Nanoinfluencers may have big dreams, but their real influence and potential remain just as small as their name implies. Nanoinfluencers are a bad fit for traditional influencer marketing. They're hard to amass at scale and pose management and measurement challenges that can make any campaign a slog. In that sense, instead of being lumped into the same context as top-tier influencers and paid media where their shortcomings are all too evident, nanoinfluencers more properly belong in the earned media realm. Long-tail, PR-style influence is a better fit for both the scale of nanoinfluence and the character of the nanoinfluencers themselves.Keep cash payments low or non-existentWhile higher-end influencers can command up to five-figure payments for a single sponsored post, many nanoinfluencers will work for food or whatever you're asking them to help promote. Most are in this for fun and passion and don't expect to make a living from you. If they do ask for cash, they'll often be happy with enough to cover a month or two of utility payments. The homespun nature of their content and the personal connections fostered by their small fan base makes nanoinfluencers perfect for helping to spread word of mouth in exchange for a few freebies now and then. Whether as a complement to ongoing marketing or PR activities or as a low-risk standalone initiative, this kind of grassroots effort can better meet its goals than a more ambitious traditional influencer marketing campaign.Use organizations to scaleWith most nanoinfluencers a fraction the size of even a typical microinfluencer, it takes a lot of them to assemble a reasonably-sized campaign and a lot of time and effort before you can hope to see an impact. To spare yourself having to identify candidates one by one, try going after them in bunches by using the organizations or affiliations they're associated with. For example, there are some 400 SoulCycle instructors across the country. That's a great persona for some brands to leverage. The first ones you bring in can help recruit others, putting a network effect to work to build scale more quickly. Maintain strict control over messagingTop-tier campaigns usually involved giving creative control to the talent—after all, their large following proves that they know what they're doing, and it's their own personality and content style you're hoping to leverage. That also puts you at risk of a brand mishap if an influencer gets carried away. With nanoinfluencers, you can maintain strict control over messaging to maximize impact and avoid the kind of missteps that even mainstream influencers can make (to the detriment of their sponsors). Your creative agency should tell your nanoinfluencers exactly what to do, when and how.Learn from your nanoinfluencersThe small-scale and intimate audience of a nanoinfluencer offers interesting opportunities for learning. While measurement is a challenge on a nanoinfluencer-by-nanoinfluencer basis, you can still analyze aggregated metrics across larger groups of nanoinfluencers to see which types of content or creators drive the most purchases, clicks and engagement. You can use those insights to refine not only future nanoinfluencer campaigns but also traditional higher-end influence campaigns.Nanoinfluencers also often engage in more substantive dialogue with their followers who see them more as friends than remote celebrities. Comment threads can also provide perspective on how the posts you sponsor are being received and how your brand is being perceived as a result. In some ways, nanoinfluencers represent the web at its best, combining do-it-yourself content, hand-curated personal connections and a willingness to start small and dream big. But these days, they also stand for the hype and unrealistic expectations that novelty can breed. Don't let the pundits lure you into an unmanageable social media morass. Let nanoinfluencers do what they do best. Share https://adweek.it/2BTFOcj copy Krishna Subramanian @ksub15 Krishna Subramanian is the co-founder of AI-powered branded content platform Captiv8.

DOING GREAT!!! 41% Raised, Ask A FRIEND & PERISCOPE TOMORROW!
SUCCESS!! We past 40% over the weekend & 41%!
We are closing the gap! While we still have a long way to go, only 9 days to do it in ( I grant you it is a BIG HILL to climb), other campaigns have been a lot worse off than ours and still make it. Plus, I still have a few tricks up my sleeve to close the gap. The big run up happens the last 7 days, which is 2 days away, AND the last day when we are close where people really help out. A friend of mine's campaign was at $21,000 of his $30,000 and added $13,000 the last day! So it is very possible!
A lot of you are doing wonderful in reposting on FB and Twitter. And we are seeing some pledges that way. In fact, I got $500 from someone who had his friend's friend's friend share it. So the reach is out there. Thank you very much for that! Here is where else you can help us out: Ask a friend for $5.
We currently have 160 backers on our campaign. If each person would ask 5 friends to throw in $5, technically, we would instantly add $4,000. It's pretty easy and I have seen other campaigns do it in the past. It's actually amazing how well it works as most people don't mind throwing in $5.
All of you have been very generous in helping us out and you believe in this project. If you ALL simply ask a few friends for $5, you'd be surprised how fast pledges roll in. So, give it a shot!
Tomorrow, we will be doing 2 PERISCOPE shows. The tag is still ScytheJim. During the show, we will talk about the project, answer questions from fans, make special EXCLUSIVE deals to anyone who tunes in and have HAND DRAWN ART to auction/pledge off about halfway through each show. I will be on at 4pm with Andrea and at 7pm with Jose and Robert. So it should be fun!
Keep the faith everyone! We'll make it!

Cyprus News Agency: News in English, 09-01-19
Cyprus News Agency: News in English Directory - Previous Article - Next Article
From: The Cyprus News Agency at <http://www.cyna.org.cy>
[01] CYPRUS PRESIDENT T/C - INCIDENTSCyprus President Demetris Christofias has condemned and expressed abhorrence for incidents that took place last Saturday in Nicosia against Turkish Cypriots, before the beginning of a football match between the teams Apoel and Omonia.
In statements after the conclusion of a memorial ceremony held Monday honouring the memory of Cyprus` first President, Archbishop Makarios, Christofias said: I condemn with abhorrence the acts against our Turkish Cypriots compatriots.
He added that such incidents do not serve the purpose of reunification of the island, divided since the 1974 Turkish invasion.
There is an ongoing effort aiming at reunifying our homeland and such incidents are totally hostile to this effort, Cyprus President stressed, adding that the incident which occurred last Saturday, serves the Turkish propaganda claiming that Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots cannot live together in a reunited state.
[02] GREECE CYPRUS ISSUEGreece aims to the achievement of the biggest possible progress in the direct talks between Cyprus President Demetris Christofias and Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat currently underway in Nicosia with a view to reach a settlement of the Cyprus problem, Greek Foreign Ministry Spokesman George Koumoutsakos has said.
Koumoutsakos also underlined that Greece does not support the imposition of time frames.
Speaking to foreign correspondents in Athens, Koumoutsakos referred to the ongoing direct negotiations between the leaders of the Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities aiming at reunifying the island, divided since the Turkish invasion of 1974.
He pointed out that there are messages regarding the direct talks at present that substantive discussions are taking place, underscoring however that the course of the negotiations has not been until now a straight line. There were times, he said, that left no room for optimism in the degree that it was expected and this is due to the fact that the Turkish Cypriot side appeared inflexible and submitted positions that were even worst than those in Annan plan, Koumoutsakos said.
Furthermore, he pointed out that there were times when the talks were substantive and created the feeling that there is a prospect to continue the negotiations.
[03] COMMISSION CYPRUS ECONOMYCyprus economy will also be negatively affected by global slowdown European Commission estimates, pointing out however that the island will be among the few countries to be less hit, attributing this to the strength of the Cypriot economy.
Amid exceptional uncertainty about global developments, the European Commission released Monday its extended interim forecast. Commission refers to a deteriorated outlook of the European economy as a result of the impact on the real economy of the intensified financial crisis and the ensuing global downturn.
As regards Cyprus, Commission says that economic activity remained strong in the first three quarters of 2008. However, due to the worsening external environment, GDP is expected to have decelerated in the last quarter of the year, which should lead to an annual growth rate of three and a half per cent. Economic growth is expected to slow down significantly in 2009 but still remain in positive territory, Commission estimates, pointing out that Cyprus will be one of the euro area three best performing countries in the areas of growth, unemployment and fiscal deficit.
Specifically, Commission forecast estimates that GDP will increase by 1%, while in the euro area will decline by 1.9%.
[04] FM - SOUTH AMERICAN TOURCypriot Minister of Foreign Affairs Markos Kyprianou wraps up a trip to South America this week, with a visit to Brazil.
According to an official press release, on January 16 Kyprianou held talks in Buenos Aires with Minister of Foreign Affairs of Argentina Jorge Taiana, who also hosted a luncheon in honour of Kyprianou and the Cypriot delegation.
During the meeting, Kyprianou had the opportunity to brief Taiana on efforts to solve the Cyprus problem and expressed appreciation for the participation of Argentina in the UN Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) since 1993, as well as the contribution of a team of anthropologists from Argentina in efforts to determine the fate of missing persons in Cyprus.
The two Ministers also discussed bilateral relations, the situation in the Middle East, the relations of Argentina with the EU and other issues of mutual interest, and examined the prospects for cooperation in the financial and shipping sectors.

Robyn & Seb's legendary wedding
Posted on
22 July 2017
We all had our fingers crossed for nice weather yesterday and luckily as Seb arrived with his Best Men, the clouds cleared and the sunshine made an appearance for the ceremony!
Robyn and her entourage of Bridesmaids, flower girls and page boys were busily preparing for the day ahead in the Cartshed Lodge with hairdressers, make-up artists and plenty of Prosecco at the ready! It was finally time for the big reveal of Robyn's wedding dress and it was such a showstopper that nearly everyone was in tears!
The Rotunda had been beautifully decorated with gypsophila and pomander balls decorated the aisle on KWF's shepherd's hooks. As the music began our beautiful Bride and her girls made their way down the aisle. The girls had been practising their walk for days and it certainly paid off as they all elegantly made their way across the lawn to the Rotunda. We could see the massive grin on Seb's face as he saw his Wife-to-be escorted down the aisle by her proud Dad and son, Oliver.
With the legal formalities complete and plenty of cheers for the new Mr and Mrs Ward, drinks were served on the lawn as guests were rounded up for photos and enjoyed a selection of tasty canapes.
Our inflatable assault course was back in action to entertain all of the children (and the big kids too!) as our newlyweds snuck off for some couple photos in the gardens.
With the help of our Best Men, guests were soon rounded up and headed into the barn. Seats were found with the help of the gorgeous table plan Seb and Robyn had created to match their scheme perfectly.
The barn was a vision of rustic charm – wooden plinths, jam jars and willow. Each centrepiece was decorated with polaroids of guests to add that personal touch to each design.
Mr and Mrs Ward were welcomed into the dining room before we gathered our chosen carvers for the day. All were very suspicious about what their 'special job' for the day was and soon laughed when they saw the Chef's hats and aprons! A delicious beef rump was enjoyed with all the trimmings followed by our famous warm chocolate brownie with vanilla cream.
The toast drinks were poured and with guests back in their seats, it was time to kick off the speeches with Robyn's Dad, Steve. He expressed how happy he was to have Seb as a son-in-law and told many funny stories about Robyn when she was growing up – including how she was often the victim of her brother's scheming plans! Seb was up next and had many thankyous to make, especially how lucky is to have found Robyn. Our hilarious Best Men duo were up last and had everyone in fits of laughter with their witty one liners and ended the speeches with a toast to the new Mr and Mrs!
With the sun still beaming, guests made their way outside to the terrace to enjoy a drink (or two!) and the live music from Steve's friends' band – the perfect way to spend a summer's evening!
Vanilla provided yet another amazing four tier wedding cake which our couple cut in front of their guests before Robyn and her Dad made their way to the dancefloor for their father/daughter dance followed by Robyn and Seb's first dance as man and wife.
We always knew that Robyn and Seb know how to throw a legendary party and we certainly weren't disappointed! The night was filled with good times – partying, sausage sizzle and did someone say Sambuca?! ??
It has been an absolute pleasure to host your special day and to meet all of your family and friends. We hope you have a wonderful honeymoon and wish you the happiest future together with your beautiful family, Mr and Mrs Ward xx

The following is an excerpt from my piece "Lera Tribel: From Nada to Prada," as featured on The Style Con:
In our ongoing series, From Nada to Prada, we explore the transformative power of a hair switcheroo, as seen in the competitive world of Model Land, where an agency-mandated bang cut or a bleach job can make the difference between booking a Prada campaign or slaving away in the gray ether of e-commerce for the rest of your livelong days.
As early as November last year, Lera Tribel was an unknown at Next Models, languishing on their board with heaps of other young, foreign, pale-skinned, dishwater blondes. (If you want to be just another dishwater blonde in this industry, you better have a face like Natalia Vodianova. That face could cure cancer; it's that perfect.)

Music as a Form of Intelligence
Wanna be great at guitar playing, but think you suck at other subjects? Whilst recently reading a book on how our brains function – 'The 12 Brain Rules' by John Medina, and then again during my studies, I learned about a man named Howard Gardner. He was a psychologist who revolutionised the way we think about intelligence. (The way we think about thinking!).
Best known for his his Theory of Multiple Intelligences, he surmised that – contrary to traditional belief – human intelligence may not be necessarily limited to the realms of mathematics and linguistics. His theory described 9 separate realms of cognition in which a person can be described to be 'intelligent':
- Musical–rhythmic and harmonic
- Visual–spatial
- Verbal–linguistic
- Logical–mathematical
- Bodily–kinesthetic
- Interpersonal
- Intrapersonal
- Naturalistic
- Existential
(This is straight from the Wikipedia page).
Musical – Rhythmic and Harmonic is one of the distinct categories of intelligence. Whilst most people are strong (or 'intelligent') in one or a few of these areas, it suggests that someone could be very musical whilst not being thought of as being 'intelligent' in other areas. A person could perhaps be very good at playing guitar, piano or another instrument, but does not excel academically in other areas. As a guitar teacher, I try to remember this when I decide how to approach giving lessons and teaching new students.
The 12 Brain Rules was re-released after a new chapter was written on music and the brain. This was due to the fact that Medina now considered music to be of enough importance to discuss as a separate topic when describing how our brains work.
In the past, there have also been links between mathematics and music theory, which would make sense as so much of music theory is basically just maths. (Systems, formulas, sequences etc). From what I've observed as a guitar teacher, students who are good at maths are often good at music theory. If a student of mine is quick to pick up on theoretical concepts I often ask them if they do well in maths at school.
Gardner's theory is much debated, but however the science all fits together and however our brains work, it's well worth considering the possibility that music is a distinct part of our cognition.

This is another Bally slot machine with a banking feature and a progressive jackpot feature also. They look like green stamp machines except that the facades are mostly gold in color. Because of the progressive jackpot feature, these games are usually found in clusters of 6 or 8 golden monkey machines by themselves.
The game features a series of 12 steps in groups of 3 and after the 3rd, 6th, and 9th steps the player will have the option to keep climbing or cash out a certain amount of credits. You'll always want to cash out the credits, except after the 12th step when you would receive 1 of the 4 progressive amounts.
The game is a positive play when at least the 1st and 2nd steps are lit up and have an upward pointing arrow on them. The lighting of the step and the arrow occur in conjunction with one another when that particular step has been achieved.
The player must bet at least $1.25 per spin to be eligible for the step award, however, and that occurs when the golden monkey appears anywhere on the 4th reel.
In my experience it seemed to me that the monkey appeared about every 15 or so spins and the game didn't play nearly like the dog-crap of the green stamp machines.
The player wins at least a portion of his bet back on about every other spin. If you're lucky enough to find one of these games with 4 steps lit up, you'll need to have the monkey appear twice to complete the 6th step but the credit award will be much higher(about double) than the award is for the 3rd step. Good luck.
