The family office trends that will continue shaping 2019 and beyond will be determined by economics, demographics, and generational differences in values among very high-net-worth individuals and heirs to their fortunes.
Establishing a family office is an excellent way to ensure family wealth is properly managed and eventually distributed to successive generations. There are opportunities not only to preserve assets, but also to grow them.
However, there are always threats (and our previous blog highlighted the risks investment management operations face in uncertain climates). Positioning and preparing your organization accordingly will ensure a smooth operations.
Wealth Management and Family Office Trends:
By the Numbers
According to Bloomberg:
- There are an estimated 10,000 single family offices worldwide.
- Roughly half of them were established after the year 2000.
- As of 2016, there were 187,500 ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) families, defined as controlling more than $30 million in assets.
- By 2025, that number is expected to grow to 263,500.
- UHNW families hold a total of more than $5 trillion in assets.
- Asia and Europe will see a 66% and 27% rise in the number of millionaires, respectively.
- India will see a 109% increase in UHNW families through 2024.
- The Middle East will see 59% UHNW growth through 2025.
As the number of super wealthy families grows, so will the number of single- and multi-family offices. The global rise in ultra-high-net-worth families from emerging markets has not only developed financial hubs in their respective countries, but their wealth is also flowing into the United States and Western Europe.
UHNW Families from Emerging Markets Move Their Assets Abroad
Safety is a major motivating factor why wealthy families in emerging markets move their assets to the US and Western Europe, as these destinations are perceived as favorable for legal, political, and economic reasons.
Bloomberg also states:
- UHNW Chinese families prefer having wealth and investments in the US as a "safety hatch", if necessary.
- UHNW Russians have viewed the United States as a "safe haven", citing recognition of attorney-client privilege.
- UHNW Brazilians "have the wherewithal to find expertise abroad", fearing currency, economic, and governmental crises.
- UHNW families from Colombia, Venezuela, and Panama move their assets to the United States because they feel their personal financial information is better protected and less vulnerable to data breaches and legally mandated disclosures in their home countries, and it may arouse suspicion from local jurisdictions.
- London is a favorable destination because "clients value the UK rule of law, access to (their) courts, and transparency and fairness of treatment".
- How Family Offices Invest: New Trends
From Hedge Funds to Private Equities
Family office allocation of assets to hedge funds are becoming a smaller proportion of holdings, as a Campden Wealth report revealed average FO allocation to funds dropped 9% to 8.1% in 2016. Poor performance, high fees and taxes are contributing factors to the move away from hedge funds. The "winner" in this shift are private equities, showing a 2.3 percentage point increase in PE holdings to 22.1%.
Philip Higson, at Vice Chairman at UBS, stated "Most family offices can trace their roots back to the growth and success of a single business, and as a consequence you will often find an emotional desire to back entrepreneurs and ideas they believe in. Strong performance from private equity over the last five years has only served to strengthen this natural affiliation."
Growing Popularity in Impact Investing
Not only have the demographics of global wealth evolved, but so have high-net-worth families' approaches to investments. The super-wealthy are increasingly conscious of how they are perceived by the public and how their investments affect society and the environment, so impact investing has become a popular way to contribute to a greater societal good.
According to UBS and Campden, 61% of family offices are active in or expect to be active in impacting investing, and 47% say impact investing is a better use of funds and will have a greater social impact than philanthropy.
Helping drive this trend are the millennials, who are coming of age to have a say in managing of the family's assets. A generation that is less concerned with material items like yachts and airplanes, millennials are described by the The Family Office Exchange (FOX) as "sophisticated, highly educated, and well-traveled", and they shave shown a preference to investing in environmental, social and governance (ESG) projects.
Campden reports thats the percentage of family offices pursuing a 'growth' strategy has increased from 29% to 36%, but among asset allocations across markets, the results are varied.
US family offices have shown the most appetite for pursuing 'growth' strategies, as their assets have performed better than those in other regions. Likewise, a growing number of emerging market FOs have reduced their 'preservation' allocations, shaking off fears due to weak performance in 2015. Europe, in contrast, has seen more if its family offices cut 'growth' allocations in favor of 'preservation'.
In light of the optimism for growth strategies, wealth preservation will remain appealing as family offices prepare for succession plans and inter-generational wealth transfers. In Asia, for example, it is "evolving from one of wealth accumulation to wealth preservation and so issues such as succession planning and intergenerational wealth transfer through structures such as foundations and trusts are moving higher up the agenda," according to Dominic Gamble, CEO of WealthinAsia.com.
Challenges Facing Family Offices
In light of the optimism for growth strategies and the opportunity for family offices in mature and emerging markets, challenges loom on the horizon.
Setting up succession plans for family offices in emerging markets, particularly for Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), is a concern. According to an Invesco study, "In the GCC, most wealth is first generation so new inheritance structures need to be developed for large families within local legal frameworks." Finding appropriate service providers for managing this wealth is often in mature markets in the United States and Western Europe, where legal and financial frameworks are better suited for these families' situations.
If not the local laws being ill-equipped to handle wealth distribution among family members, then the challenge lies within a succession plan itself. Setting up such a plan over the course of 12-24 months is a top priority, and 69% plan for an inter-generational wealth transfer within 15 years, according to Campden.
General transitions don't always go smoothly:
- A lack of interest or qualification in running a family office among the younger generations
- An unwillingness to give up control among the older generations
- Generational disagreements over investment strategies after the transition
- Distrust in how the family office will be run
Rising Investment and Operational Costs
Rising costs and low returns threaten profit margins, and outsourcing for family offices is a great way to reduce costs and attain operational efficiency.
According to Rick Flynn, a managing partner of Flynn Family Office, "More successful family businesses are today relying on outsourced family office services providers to achieve greater control and cost savings while managing toward defined family wealth objectives."
Just as costs have risen, the other issue has been insufficient talent. A World Economic Forum report revealed that nearly one-third of family offices lack in-house expertise. In addition to outsourcing back -office functions like reconciliation, family offices can outsource some of their investment management tasks, streamlining operations.

The Future for Family Offices
The number of ultra-high-net-worth families will continue to rise for the foreseeable future as emerging markets, primarily led by Asia, continue their economic ascendence. With that comes a demand for family offices, ensuring that wealth is properly transferred to future generations.
The United States and Western European markets may not experience the same rate of growth in the emerging markets, but they are still in a position to benefit from the flow of capital, as UHNW families from emerging markets seek access to legal, political, and financial systems that better serve their needs.
Investment patterns will change, as more FOs increase their allocations into private equities and impact investing, and to the extent that the markets offer good returns, more firms will have a 'growth' strategy.
Challenges lie ahead, as complications with succession planning and rising costs threaten the effectiveness of a family office, and middle- and back-office outsourcing will be one way to mitigate those risks.
Overall, the future is bright for family offices, and running the organization effectively will make all the difference.

Advertising Models Based on Guaranteed Revenue Aren't Effective for Anyone
This article has been originally written in French and published in mind Media.
Ligatus, Outbrain, Taboola... why are content recommendation platforms, meant to improve online advertising, acquiring sulphurous reputations? Elodie Dratler, Marketing Director of Ligatus France, traces the evolution of practices over the past five years and their origins, and explains how Ligatus wants to recreate value in the ad world.
Ligatus was created 15 years ago, driven by an idea: a new advertising format designed by a publisher, for a publisher. This publisher was a German entity called OnVista, an equivalent of what is Boursorama. To monetize its inventory, OnVista considered an advertisement that would be integrated into a content page, associated with an interesting placement to retain attention without disrupting navigation. The 'text-link' at the foot of the article was born, and with it, a new advertising experience that would prove its effectiveness.
In 2008 the company is acquired by Gruner + Jahr a 100% subsidiary of the Bertelsmann Group. Bertelsmann is a Germany-based media company that has one distinct advantage: it is a privately held company. The groundwork of Ligatus' DNA is thus laid. In five years, based on the sponsored content recommendation model, the company has become the main (and sometimes sole) performance marketing partner of the largest media groups in France: Groupe le Monde, Les Echos, Lagardère Active, Groupe Figaro, 20 Minutes, Groupe Nice matin, Groupe Sud Ouest, RTL, Prisma Media, among others. So, why is it that a perceived qualitative format is now garnering criticism.
A Vicious Cycle Sets In
We must look back to 2013-2014, when the digital advertising context and its practical uses changed. In the United States - likewise in Europe - agencies and advertisers deplored the growing inefficiency of banners, which were less and less adapted to mobile. Thus, big media groups endow their offer of native advertising carried by a range of rich technologies, and Ligatus loses some titles and exclusivities. The competitive landscape grew in number as much as it deteriorated in value. It must be said that for 20 years, the online press struggled to find its balance; classic online advertising did not offer the expected levers. Not to mention the difficulty of converting an Internet user into a paying subscriber. The web-based press subsidy system did not exist. And it is not Google that could become an impartial patron.
Publishers, determined to produce quality, were forced to seek resources outside their group. Practices to achieve model stability and development introduced a set of relays with the regulators and sub-regions that now guarantee recurring monthly revenue lines. By 2015, the advertising market hardened and bad practices were taking hold for good reasons. Despite goodwill, we were witnessing the multiplication of publisher briefs demanding income guarantees, which mechanically led the players - those recommendation platforms but not only - to select content or advertisements generating the highest click rates. The problem: these are often not the most qualitative. Advertising models based on guaranteed revenue aren't effective for anyone.
Being More Selective Is Key
Progressively, the rise of advertising content inversely proportional to the quality of editorial content damaged the user experience. In 2015, the audience reacted with the massive adoption of ad blocking, and advertisers intervened to put advertising quality back at the center of the debate. This is also Ligatus's bias. Our company chooses to rely on its ability to renounce unreasonable briefs; it is costly in terms of turnover and spontaneous attractiveness, but more effective in the medium term to attract major accounts and the Big 6 agencies.
What are our convictions to recreate market value from branded content recommendations? First, assuming to have a more selective network, less than 100 media group partners and without long tail. Then, a mobile-oriented service. Finally, by guaranteeing brands the performance of their campaigns through a brand safe media context: we now exclude advertisers with misleading promises (exit Forex and other sectors at risk for Internet users). We don't engage with arbitrageurs or click farms, and we avoid the risks of fake ads as much as possible. We have become much more selective. At the same time, we have made a major shift. Two years ago, we decided to go beyond our advertising network strategy to anticipate changes in practices. We now offer our own DSP and SSP programmatic technologies to agencies, brands and publishers. We do not believe in strategies that seek to create dependencies and constraints. For example, advertisers can use our DSP to buy all the native programmatic levers, on all available inventories. Obviously, with a better offer on our own inventory.
Moving Forward, You Must Also Win the Branding Game
Since 2017, XXL formats and video ads with 30-second sound have been excluded from the new norms of the Coalition for Better Ads standards, accelerating the process of finding new solutions. Creativity associated with branding campaigns is becoming an essential issue. It is necessary to rethink writing content that adapts to the flows, to consider the XS format as the future so much that it offers benefits, and to bet on quality. Good practices are known: think of page placements that allow to create diversified advertising experiences, bill visible formats according to bounce rate or time spent, and give access to a rich audience panel via programmatic sales. We are regaining ground thanks to these quality standards and ideological convergence with publishers who expect their advertising to be in line with their requirements. It is through the quality of content and medium and long-term strategies that we will create value for all - publishers, monetization players, brands - in a sustainable manner, and not by excessive revenue guarantees.

CSA Philopsophy
This week, I want to take some time to reiterate the philosophy of CSA. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. CSA members invest in a farm or farms at the beginnning of the growing season. In exchange for this investment, community members receive a share of the harvest. At Eat Outside the Box, we receive shares weekly. Not all CSAs distribute shares at this frequency. Distribution of shares is not a "given." Members in a CSA share the risk with the farmers involved in the relationship. We also share in the bounty.
In the case of our CSA, the money we invest allows the farm to invest in seeds and make decisions related to our needs. The farmer is planning and planting for us. In addition, as members we are learning what is seasonal. Sometimes, we may not like what is seasonal. My feeling is that the reason for this is that we have forgotten how to eat seasonally. Our tastes have evolved along with our supermarket shelves rather than our actual local harvests.
The goal of CSA is to create a more direct relationship with our food, to understand what is growing in our neighborhood and to raise awareness about the importance of local agriculture.
CSA allows farmers to operate on a more human scale as well. Eaters put a face on farming and farmers put a face on eaters. I also see Eat Outside the Box as mechanism to bring together people with like minds who want to eat fresh, local foods in support of local farmers. Thus we work to create a sense of community based around seasonal food and including those who produce our food.

Flushing the sinus canal with a neti pot is an Ancient Indian technique, frequently used in Ayurvedic lifestyles and healing practices today, it is known to detox and restore delicate tissues of the sinus cavity, by literally washing out any stagnant toxicity.
Fill your neti pot with luke warm purified water + 1 tsp of fine Celtic or Himalayan rock salt, mix the salt through well.
With your head over the basin or bath, tilt your head to the left and place the neti pot in your right nostril, allow the salt water to flow through your right nostril and out your left, it should flow through evenly at a steady pace, once the neti pot is empty, refill it and turn and repeat on the other side.
Be mindful when blowing your nose, blow it very gently after this process.

Policy in Practice: Pilots in Arizona Unable to Move Forward
In 2013, Arizona passed SB1293, which, among other things, created an outcome-based pilot program to look for innovative ways of awarding funds based on school performance and improvement instead of just pupil enrollment. The pilot funding was to be awarded to 10 programs each year for four years: five districts, one of which must be offering online instruction through Arizona Online Instruction, and five charter schools, one of which must be offering a full-time online option to its students. The request for information was released in October 2013, and awards were to be announced by March 1, 2014. However, no awards were given. According to the state board of education, "all vendors applying for the pilot were unable to provide assessments sufficiently aligned to all skills and outcomes established by the joint legislative committee on outcome-based funding. Due to the unavailability of sufficiently aligned assessments, the SBE was unable to fulfill the remaining requirements of the law and cannot begin implementation of the simulated pilot program."
It's good to see Arizona setting money aside to fund an innovative pilot program that has the potential to change how students and schools are funded, and to allow for more flexibility in how schools are able to serve students. The outcome suggests a mismatch between policy expectations and available technology. We don't know all of the details yet, but this is another example showing that promising policies don't always work out as planned.

ASVAB Preparation: Greatest Common Factor
You will want to brush up on your math skills before going to take the ASVAB. Your task may be to pull out the greatest common factor from two or more terms. Take, for example, this product: 4xy + 2x2. To factor this product, follow these steps:
- Find the greatest common factor — the highest number that evenly divides all the terms in the expression. Look at both the constants (numbers) and variables. In this case, the highest number that divides into 4 and 2 is 2. And the highest variable that divides into both xy and x2 is x. Take what you know to this point, and you can see that the greatest common factor is 2x.
- Divide both terms in the expression by the greatest common factor. When you divide 4xy and 2x2 by 2x, the resulting terms are 2y + x.
- Multiply the entire expression (from Step 2) by the greatest common factor (from Step 1) to set the expression equal to its original value. Doing so produces 2x(2y + x).
Time to try something a little more complicated: factoring a trinomial (an expression with three terms). Suppose you start with x2 – 12x + 20. Follow these steps:
- Find the factors of the first term of the trinomial. The factors of the first term, x2, are x and x. Put those factors (x and x) on the left side of two sets of parentheses: (x)(x).
- Determine whether the parentheses will contain positive or negative signs. You can see that the last term in the trinomial (+20) has a plus sign. That means the signs in the parentheses must be either both plus signs or both minus signs. (Why? Because two positive numbers multiplied equals a positive number, and two negative numbers multiplied equals a positive number, but a negative number times a positive number equals a negative number.) Because the second term (–12x) is a negative number, both of the factors must be negative: (x – 0)(x – 0).
- Find the two numbers that go into the right sides of the parentheses. This part can be tricky. The factors of the third term, when added together or subtracted, must equal the second term of the trinomial.
In this example, the third term is 20 and the second term is –12x. You need to find the factors of 20 (the third term) that add to give you –12. The two factors you want are –2 and –10, because –2x – 10 = 20 (the third term) and –2 + –10 = –12 (the second term). Plug in these numbers: (x –2)(x–10)
Thus, the factors of x2 – 12x + 20 are (x – 2) and (x – 10).

The Bad BeginningAudiobook CD - 2004
From the critics

CommentAdd a Comment
Tim Curry's narration is wonderful, but the series is rather too dark and depressing for the likes of us.
Tim Curry as narrator makes this a superb audiobook. The wonderful thing about Lemony Snicket is the multisyllabic words which he then explains for youthful readers. An example: "in complete pandemonium, which here means actors and stagehands running around attending to details." He also does this with unusual phrases: "They were of two minds, which here means…." This is a great book to enlarge kids' vocabularies.
The interview with the author at the end is also hilarious. He provides his view about the marvelous words that he tosses into his books.
(NOTE: I listened to the audiobook narrated by Tim Curry available through Audible.)
Violet, Klaus, & baby Sunny Baudelaire were made orphans after the unfortunate death of the parents in a fire. Their parents' Will stated that all of their fortune was to go in to trust & not to be accessable until Violet comes of age. Also stated in their Will is that children were to be given to their next-of-kin. Enter Count Olaf, a terrible, terrible person. The children are mistreated, made to live in horrible living conditions, & they are forced to be servants to the Count. Meanwhile, Count Olaf is working overtime to devise a plan to get his hands on the Baudelaire fortune. Thank goodness there are a few decent people that are working on behalf of the childrens' best interest. There is a wonderful neighbor, Justice Strauss, that adores the children, & it doesn't hurt the childrens' situation that she just happens to be a judge. There is also the banker, Mr Poe, that is the executor of the trust. But can the goodness of the judge & banker overcome the devious Count Olaf? For now, but time will tell in book 2.
I'm a little ashamed that I liked the book as much as I did. I listened to the audiobook through Audible narrated by Tim Curry. That likely played a big part in my overall ranking. Fantastic narration! Saying I "liked" the book is really difficult for me given that the story was SUPER depressing & downright infuriating at points. However, the characters were strong, & I couldn't put the book down because I NEEDED to find out if the children escaped the clutches of Count Olaf. As much as it hurt to read this book, I find myself needing to read the next one to see how the childrens' plight plays out.
Age recommendation: 10 & up (scenes of neglect & mistreatment of young children)
On a scale of 1-10 stars, I give it 8.
I can see why so many children and adults love these books. They have a dry humor that is understated, yet makes you laugh out loud on occasion. The plight of the Baudelaire siblings is indeed deplorable and they have already faced a number of unfortunate events in this first volume. What will happen next and when will Count Olaf show his wicked face again. I am going to proceed to volume 2 and find out posthaste.
I thought this book was really well written, also you can learn a few new words along the way.
The Bad Beginning is a very well written book by Lemony Snicket. The book focuses on the lives of the three Baudelaire siblings, Klaus, Violet and Sunny after a tragic fire has their parents snatched from them. They are out of luck and despite being incredibly wealthy they must go and live with their wicked fourth cousin three times removed. Left with no choice they must live with him until Violet comes to age to inherit their family wealth. Count Olaf is a sinister man, who has no intentions to treat the children like family, he merely adopts them for a chance to gain their wealth. All three characters show unique skills and talents that they use to help them deal with Olaf. The book appealing to children from many age groups and is relatable for lots of kids. Some children will love the character of Klaus, who is passionate about reading, and loves to read about just any topic he can. While other children will love to read about Violet, a teenage girl who is amazing at creating inventions. My favorite character in this book was Sunny, the youngest of the three siblings, who is only two years old but shows she has a great personality and loves to bite objects. Reading this book was really fun for me as I read it after watching the movie. and I can honestly say the movie was not as good as the book. If I had to rate this book out of ten I would give it around and 8.5. Anyone who is committed to reading a great children's fantasy series should follow A Series Of Unfortunate Events.
i love this book

Perhaps, the most glorious Wikipedia introduction ever written:
Lieutenant-General Sir Adrian Paul Ghislain Carton de Wiart VC, KBE, CB, CMG, DSO (5 May 1880 — 5 June 1963), was an English officer of Belgian and Irish descent. He fought in the Boer War, World War I, and World War II, was shot in the face, head, stomach, ankle, leg, hip and ear, survived a plane crash, tunneled out of a POW camp, and bit off his own fingers when a doctor wouldn't amputate them. He later said "frankly I had enjoyed the war."
By the way, in 1908 he married Countess Friederike Maria Karoline Henriette Rosa Sabina Franziska Fugger von Babenhausen. She died in 1949 and in 1951, at the age of 71, he married Ruth Myrtle Muriel Joan McKechnie, then 23 years his junior. She died in 2006 at the age of 102. Sir Adrian died at the family home in County Cork in Ireland in 1963, aged 83. His was an heroic life.Tweet

Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan has been praised for posting a photo showing her breastfeeding her new baby to Instagram.
Flanagan gave birth to her baby five days ago, after carefully concealing her pregnancy on Coronation Street with carefully placed handbags and strategically large coats.
The soap star shared pictures of newborn Delilah and her eldest child, 2-year-old Matilda, in Kelvingrove Park in Glasgow. Helen can be seen playing with Matilda while cradling and breastfeeding the baby.
Interspersed with love heart emojis, Helen captioned the photo:
My life now feeding my baby girl and making sure my big girl gets lots of love our girls @scotty__sinclair Matilda and Delilah so lucky, so in love with both my beautiful girls #DelilahRuby5daysold
Fans were quick to congratulate the 27-year-old and praise her for normalising breast feeding through the photo.
Supporters wrote:

Helen announced the birth of her new daughter on Instagram a few days ago, thanking the midwives at the hospital and describing the birth.
She wrote:
Our beautiful precious daughter Delilah Ruby Sinclair was born yesterday on the 22nd of June at 5.18pm weighing 6lbs 15oz I had a very quick labour, a water birth with just gas and air, absolutely besotted so in love.
Feel so blessed to have our healthy baby girl and I feel good after my labour xxx
Thankyou to all the amazing midwives at the Queen Elizabeth hospital in Glasgow for everything.

Before having her first child, The Mirror reports that Helen admitted she was terrified of giving birth, explaining how she burst into tears before delivering Matilda.
Describing her fear, she said:
The thought of giving birth absolutely terrifies me, it always has. It petrifies me. Before I went into labour last time, I cried. I was really scared.
Her joy outweighed her fears, as Helen continued to post pictures of her newborn Delilah, writing she was 'so lucky' and 'on cloud 9'.
Matilda seems content with her new sister, Helen's post in the park showing the older child kissing and cradling the baby.
Here's to the happy family and their approach to parenthood!

Srinivasa Perumal temple in Vaanamutti (now Kozhi Kuthi) on the Northern Banks of the Cauvery, built during the rule of Kulothunga Chozha III, where the Moolavar is seen in a gigantic 14 feet standing posture. The idol is a Mooligai Varna Kala idol. There are inscriptions on the granite walls which mention the divine power of the temple. Vanamutti Perumal is more than 12 feet tall and carved out of a single Athi (Fig) tree with 4 hands holding Sangu, Chakram, Gadhai and Abayagastam as another hand. As the posture is tall, He is named Van-Sky, Mutti-Hitting, Perumal – Van Mutti Perumal. No abishek is performed on Perumal as the idol is of wood, only Thaila Kappu is done. The vimanam also was constructed like an Umbrella. Close to the main sanctum is that Yoga Narasimhar, who is seen to be blessing Bhaktha Prahalada and is in the state of Yoga. According to legend, Vanamutti Perumal gave Viswaroopa Dharshan to Pippalar Maharishi. Perumal is seen here with Thulasi mala and Sri Lakshmidevi to his chest. We see Sridevi and Bhoodevi Thayar also. Sree Sreenivasa perumal is seen with Shanku, Chakkra, Gadha and Abhya hastham. The temple tank is located at the right side of the temple, which is considered very significant. A holy dip in this temple tank is considered a greatest cure for all diseases.
Lord Anjaneya Sannadhi
There is a beautiful shrine for Lord Anjaneya. The unique feature of this Lord Anjaneyar is that the tail is coiled with a bell which lies over the head of Anjaneyar. Here Anjaneyar is called Sapthaswara Anjaneyar since Seven Music notes are produced (Sa re ga ma pa dha nee.) When it is touched in different places.
A king Nirmalan by name suffering from leprosy (skin disease) was living this area. When passing in a jungle, a sage playing on his veena very sweet manner. He fell at the sage foot and tried his blessings for relief from his illness. Merciful Rishi taught a mantra to the king and advise him to chant the mantra daily.The king took the advice on his head and began the chanting. A voice said, "its voice of Lord Vishnu. You are suffering from a serious dosha. Start your pilgrimage with the banks of Cauvery. Moovalur Lord Marga Sahayeswarar (Shiva) will guide you.You have to bathe from all holy things Places on the way. Stay in a place where your body becomes golden in colour".
The king stopped the journey at the place as directed by the voice and was happy to see him quite healthy free of the disease. He prayed to Perumal with all gratitude. A tall Athi tree appeared from where Perumal granted darshan to the king with His discus, conch and Mother Mahalakshmi on His chest. As all the sins of the King were washed off here, the place came to be known as Koti Hathi meaning the place freeing the devotee from crores of doshas. In the following days, the name changed to Kozhikuthi. The king surrendered at the Lord's feet began to do penance and became Pipala Maharshi. The Maharshi performed penance on the shore of the river. Now there is a mandap in this place and the Cauvery flowing nearby is called Pippala Theertha.

An urban monster called Addis Abeba
Warning: many of the commentaries and opinions that you will be about to read might sound very harsh, but I promise they are the most accurate account of the frequently miserable experience that is crossing Ethiopia by bicycle. Given the radical difference that exists between those of us who travel by bicycle across this country (and those who walk the world too) and those who travel by any kind of motorised transport, I don't feel particularly well predisposed to accept any objections coming from those who haven't crossed it in the same way.
Translation courtesy of Thomas Benitex
I have said it more than once already and I like to say it again: the entrance to (and exits of) the great cities of the world by bicycle is not easy and it is rarely a simple experience. It is a stressful process where you have to go around finding your way in a completely unknown metropolis while keeping your concentration to protect yourself from a traffic that is potentially dangerous at any time. Added to that, in some cities, it is vital to remain alert at all times, since one may be going unknowingly through generally peripheral areas, where the risk of being in the wrong place at the wrong time increases considerably. But as much as it can be a stressful process, it can also be a fascinating experience, as is the case of large African cities, and Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, is a good example of them.
The rural world of the Ethiopian highlands dramatically stops at the great ring road around the big Addis. The chaos is imminent, a cramped mass of improvised houses, made of wood, cardboard, corrugated steel, grows organically on a still rigorously mountainous terrain at an average altitude of 2400 m. We keep descending and ascending slowly to keep the balance, along dirt and stony streets muddied by the rain. We pass along street markets selling every imaginable piece of cheap Chinese stuff, dodging people walking in all directions, donkeys, goats. Nilotic, Bantu, Trigrayans, Afaris, Somalis, Oromos, the cultural mix is amazing. Street vendors carrying more junk hanging on their bodies than a Christmas tree on December 25th, seeking to earn a few cents a day. Chaos, bustle, shattered vans acting as public transport, overflowing with people, make their way through every possible opening. The driver's assistant with his body half-way out of the window yells out the destinations as he hits the door to draw the attention of potential travelers. So we go, plunging into the incredible universe of Addis, a city as ugly as dazzling.
We have to get to the very heart of the city, where Claudio lives. He is an Ethiopian whose grandfather arrived with the Italian forces of Mussolini, later married an Ethiopian woman whom gave birth to Claudio's mother, who later married the Italian man who became his father. Claudio is now indistinguishable from an ordinary Italian but has grown up and lived all his life in Ethiopia. He and his friends show us a new Ethiopia, a very different one, that one of people with higher levels of education, a reality that reaches only 15% of this country. We welcome this change as a new relief from the constant harassment, because they are really lovely people and obviously they do not welcome us (or say farewell) by stoning us. Sometimes it becomes so clear the immeasurable value of having been able to access education.
It takes us until mid-afternoon to get to Claudio's house, Addis' chaos puts constant hindrances on the way and last but not least the ups and downs of the hills continue well within the city's boundaries, which right in the urban chaos are significantly worse and more dangerous than in the rural areas. As if the wild nature of this urban jungle were not enough, the government had the brilliant idea of calling the Chinese to make an urban plan for them and build a train. Only an Ethiopian mind can conceive an idea of such a degree of stupidity, or perhaps a degree of corruption, to have the Chinese, who are not precisely characterized by having a well-adjusted urban vision for places so foreign to their own culture, build them and urban train that contradicts the very intrinsic nature of the city. Although Addis is hell, it is an organic urban hell that has found its own, even though naturally twisted, logic and it is a "logic" that allows it to function and serve its citizens; the day that urban train planned and built by the Chinese is ready to run, the whole city will collapse, that is my guess.
Ethiopian culinary delights
In this African megacity, it becomes very evident, more than in any other region of the country, the remnants of the influence of the years of the Italian occupation. The food is superb in Ethiopia, not only the local flavors such as the fuul, the shiro, the tibs saturating the cavernous interior of the ever omnipresent injera, a giant foamy pancake made from tef, with a slightly acidic taste, which absorbs the spicy sauces that are spread on it. The mix is eaten right before the injera disintegrates.
Aside from all these local delicacies, there's the Italian legacy, quite a blessing for those of us who from time to time need a break from the average African menu. In any canteen you may find in Addis, you can get a massive plate of spaguettis al dente for a dollar, served with delicious gravy and fresh panini.
The best comes at night, when you can go belly up with pizza with real mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce. A pizza with a dough so good that could match that one of Italy or Argentina and likewise, cooked in a stone oven!!
Finally there is the coffee, which in Ethiopia is extraordinary and that apart from being able to drink it in the traditional ceremonial way, it comes in all the Italian versions: Cappuccino, espresso and our favorite, the macchiato. It is served for pennies in any little bar anywhere in Ethiopia, and we have drunk so much that it has contributed to add stress to the already stressful experience of cycling across this country.
The Merkato
Back in 1999 I set foot in Asia for the first time. I had dreamed all my life to get there and in that very first trip I would find myself fallen into a constant state of fascination. At every step I took, I felt like a sponge trying to absorb absolutely everything and not to miss a thing. It was the people, the streets, architecture, the traffic, the food, the odors, but of that all, it was the markets and their hustle and bustle what truly captivated me. Years passed by and I would return to Asia again and again until I made it my home. I would spend nine years in the continent traveling, living and working, slowly, those markets that I had originally been so fascinated by, ended up turning into an ordinary part of my everyday life. Although I never stopped enjoying them, they lost that element of fascination that I had formerly found in them. And by the time I had spent enough time already convinced that I would never recover that initial feeling, I arrived to the huge merkato of Addis Ababa and almost like a shock of adrenaline, I recovered that original excitement of the first time.
The Merkato is the huge heart of Addis, a massive urban stain that spreads in all directions following the organic logic of an amorphous living organism. It nourishes itself from the tens of thousands of people passing through the endless maze of narrow alleys that make up the channels of its internal structure.
You can find everything you need in the thousands of stalls built from stilts, wood, corrugated metal sheets, cardboard, tarps, forcefully compressed within. Each may have as little as 50 cm wide and to take the compression even further, they often are two stories high and vendors squeeze themselves inside them to work.
Within the chaos there seems to be an intrinsic order that allows only those who frequent the place to navigate seamlessly, make the necessary purchases and move through the frenetic pace without problems, amid the noise and mess with the tranquility of an aristocrat wandering the gardens of Versailles on a Sunday afternoon.
Compression in certain sectors is such that it seems as though the improvised walls of corrugated metal sheets would be holding so much pressure that they could burst at any time. Through the interstices and passageways squeeze those who come and go from the workshops where they repair absolutely everything.
Finally there's the repulsively fascinating restrooms area, a public space within the Merkato that has so much garbage, urine and so many accumulated piles of human shit that it is impossible to overlook even if one wanted to. In case of an emergency, it is very easy to get to it, just follow the path indicated by the smell, following the stench that permeates the nostrils making them burn by the pestilence. Upon arrival, the show is nothing short of surreal.
is not a static place, is a cellular ever-growing urban monster that seems to breed at the same reckless rate of Ethiopians themselves. With its growth, it seems to be devouring Addis itself on the way and making it part of its digestion. It is as repulsive as incredibly fascinating of a place, where I could spend days if not weeks getting lost in it.

You Should Consider Mediation
If you're looking for an effective way to resolve many disputes without the costs and risks of court process, you should consider retaining Gus Brown or Phil Kotschenreuther.
Being a skilled mediator requires training and experience, which of course both Gus and Phil have, but it also requires sensitivity, the possession of an open mind, and the ability to observe, understand and empathize. No wonder both Augustus Brown and Phil Kotschenreuther are sought-out by official boards and private parties alike for Mediation and Arbitration, from all over the Baltimore metropolitan area!
Working with both you and your opposing party, Augustus Brown and Phil Kotschenreuther can:
- Help you reach agreements, build relationships and find solutions that work.
- Help protect your privacy, because (unlike courtroom proceedings), mediation is a confidential process.
- Help save you time and money as compared to traditional litigation.
- Give you a formal opportunity to make your points and feelings known to the other party, and vice versa.
If your case is referred to mediation by a court, or if someone suggests that you try mediation to resolve a conflict, please understand that mediation may help both you and your opposing party satisfy your needs by reaching creative, customized solutions that work for both sides. Many business disputes, family conflicts, neighborhood disputes, and one-on-one issues can be effectively resolved in mediation.
Even some criminal justice cases are better handled in mediation than in court, especially if the people involved have an ongoing relationship.
Remember — you know what your needs are, better than any judge or jury. With the help of skilled mediators such as Gus Brown and Phil Kotschenreuther, you can retain the power to make your own decisions and fulfill those needs, to preserve or improve a troubled business, family or neighborhood relationship.

Don't understand yet what went fuggled up with PoohBear's money for October, but she knew that my ass was on fire here, and taking off $200.00 didn't help none which is why I'm where I'm at right now. You see PoohBear thinks its just her added money I want from her, which ain't true. I want what's inside of her, her love, spirit and loyalty. Mostly her REAL Love, not just things superficial. But deep love don't pay bills and certainly don't satisfy greed property owners. I've got a few hands in this card game to play yet, here in Western Idaho, however I ain't closed the door on parts Wyoming, either. Depends on if I can get Marie and a few others to help, A: to find other quarters for this radio werx, and two find me new digs. Preferably in Twinky Flatts. Did see something in Burley and over in Rupert. Thing is there is 4 days until trial, and might as well as enjoy them as best as I can. The other day I saw a place on Washington next to an old car lot there that said office space for rent so going over Saturday to see about that. There's a ton of a bunch of things on my mind, not to mention not to be leaving ya'll behind or in a bind. Now lets just see, if Marie shows in nylon hose to do a few radio shows, Says she will Saturday, we see been down that road b4, but I learned before you never burn bridges or close doors. The person you ignore today, might be the one you need a favor from tomorrow. Will I get a good wiff and a sniff, don't know but hopefully this time may be the charm.

Accenture Report: Doctors are Leaving Private Practice for Hospital Employment/
The number of independent physicians has declined over the last several years, from 57 percent in 2000 to 49 percent in 2005 according to a report conducted by Accenture. It's not a surprise that respondents mentioned reimbursement pressures (36%) and overhead cost (23%) as the two main factors for leaving independent practice.
Many physicians have shifted business models over the last few years. Some have excluded certain public programs to decrease some of their administrative burden. Some have shifted to low-staffing models while others have adopted a concierge medicine model which is starting to gain more traction. The report points out that 17% of physicians are now participating in Accountable Care Organizations.
"Independent practices need business models that are as unique as the market they serve," said Kaveh Safavi, global managing director of Accenture's health business. "There's increasing complexity with running an independent practice and requires that doctors differentiate by specialty type, size or in personalizing service options, such as remote consultations or same-day appointments. Doing so will help independent physicians stay relevant and profitable."

Page 299 – Thirsty
Man, things are not looking so good for Sara right now. She's getting pushed around in her own match and it's getting kind of personal. The beer in the face is sort of low-blow but anything goes in this match and Krystin's been trying to make a point to Sara. Lots more can happen in this match because you have to be inside the ring to win the match, and these two certainly aren't there yet.
Sharp eye readers might recognize a cameo appearance from the Shadowgirls in attendance. Seems they decided to check out a live event. XD Next update is page number 300!

Fall/Winter 2015Thursday, January 21st, 2016
It's been four months since my last post, and a lot has happened since then. Coleman started third grade at The Meadows with Cindy Hebert as his teacher. We expected that it would be a more difficult year for him, and we were right. Third grade students are expected to read more books (51 books gets them the top reading prize), give 12 speeches to their classmates and do more research projects. Coleman made straight As in his first quarter, and we think he's likely to maintain his straight A average at the end of the second quarter.
Against my better judgment, I signed Coleman up for group violin after school on Fridays. He lasted about a month. I thought he would make friends, but I realized that there is nothing more sacred than getting some free time on Friday afternoons. Here he is at his one performance for the pancake breakfast.
Brian had a Yardi conference at Disneyland, so there was no question that we'd tag along. It was Gigi and Paul's first trip. While there were great moments for me personally, I am hoping to not go back for many, many years. It was crowded beyond belief, and it was close to 100 degrees in October.
Gigi and Coleman at the Small World ride, which is one of my favorites because it's such a throw back. Also, the air conditioning was killer.
We reenacted our 2012 tour through Toontown. It blows my mind how much things change in three years.
Peanut butter!
Group shot at a Toontown fountain.
We killed time on the merry-go-round at California Adventure.
This is how I felt on our last day there. (Shoot me!)
We went to a pre-football game party at The Meadows the next weekend. One thing that has definitely changed in Coleman's life since the summer is that he is obsessed with football. A decade ago I said that no son of mine would ever play tackle football. I think I'm going to have to eat those words. I can't insist that he not do something he really loves.
Here he is at one of his flag football games.
Coleman took a great photo during our family photo session with Ginny Trudeau this year.
Coleman was Elvis on his second Halloween. He was coming down with a cold, and we trick or treated too early in Wendy and Richard's neighborhood, so it was kind of a let down. We had a do-over this Halloween, and it went much better. I think it helped that his Daddy rented a costume so he could be Elvis too, or as Coleman called him, "Fat Elvis."
They played wrap a mummy game at Coleman's school Halloween party.
Coleman wrapped up his best friend Evan. The giggling was contagious.
Coleman visited the office after school, and Mari photoshopped Gizmo into the picture. Three Elvi.
Getting his moves ready for trick or treating.
Aunt Mari visited with Coleman and Gabby at Grandma Wendy's while Brian and I attended a Trey Anastasio concert at Brooklyn Bowl.
Coleman and Gizmo dressed alike.
Elvis and Scarlett - both Southern, talented and good looking, but one is definitely goofier than the other.
We took the kids to Spago to eat on my very last gift certificate of the $1100 I won at the Nathan Adelson Hospice Luncheon last May. Right before Sharon Jenkins called my name, I looked at my mom, and said "This is the one I really want to win," and boy, did I feel lucky! After dinner we walked the Strip and saw the Bellagio fountains. While the kids had seen it several times before, it felt like the first time all over again.
School pictures were actually very good this year - the best they've ever been.
Kelly Maxwell and Susan Perry invited us to spend a weekend with their friends in Zion. I believe it was 14 adults and 16 kids. I adapted much better to the kids going wild than Brian did.
We convinced Coleman to take a hike with us through a canyon. Gabby could not be convinced to leave all of her new playmates behind.
A rare picture of Coleman with me because I have to ask for this to happen.
Coleman's favorite part about the hike was breaking ice sheets. The crunching noise was really cool.
Coleman and Brian in a beautiful canyon.
There was a treehouse on the property.
Coleman didn't know many of the kids, but he did know Eli Shulman.
We did one last short hike on the way back to Vegas.
We hiked Calico Basin on a weekend with Paul and Bryn a.k.a. Pooch.
The kids actually had a good time and only whined when we climbed a long hill.
Our Thanksgiving was one of the best we've had yet, and we got a group photo, which was a first.
Our Christmas season began the weekend after Thanksgiving by decorating two trees. Here's a video of Coleman putting the topper on for the first time.
Jaime gave us another gingerbread house from Solvang. While they make incredible decorations, we've decided that they are also very tasty.
We took a festive photo before leaving for the Santa Run.
Coleman did his third Santa run this year. He always complains about getting there early, but if we hadn't gotten there early, we wouldn't have seen Wayne Newton or the Jabbawockeez.
Coleman attended his second rodeo.
This rodeo might be my last because I am so allergic to all of the dust (?) in the arena. I sneezed repeatedly, and my nose ran severely for most of the event.
Coleman was very festive in his Santa suit bottoms and Bears hat that Brian got from his Secret Santa at the office, lifting weights that Gigi got him for an early Christmas present. He's been wearing the Santa suit since kindergarten; that's four years, folks. I think I got my money's worth!
Grandma and Grandpa sponsored the December 20 Nutcracker performance. The kids were extremely well behaved. I am so pleased that they actually love going to the Nutcracker.
Coleman and Gabby were honored with the task of giving out flowers at the end of the performance.
They were very speedy about it and were probably on stage less than 30 seconds.
A blur.
Brian took them to Eagle Point on their first week of winter break. The first day was a bit rough, but I hear the second day went much better. I was smart enough to avoid this trip altogether.
It went so well that Brian officially lost his mind and let the kids ride a ski lift by themselves. What was he thinking?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm certain that this trip was great birth control for Uncle Morgan. Even Morgan admitted that Brian was Super Dad (not his words) for skiing with two kids, being responsible for all of their gear and did I mention safety?
Christmas dinner was spent at Andiron in Downtown Summerlin. Brian and I are so fortunate, especially since we host Thanksgiving, for Wendy and Richard to take us out to Christmas dinner. Coleman got to spend a moment with Baby Ezra.
Coleman and Gabby opened their gifts from Pop and Madi on Christmas morning - money, Legos and clocks!
Coleman was excited about the football cards that Brian gave him. I think the kid has more stats in his head than most 8-year old football fans.
The whole family, including Randall, came over for Christmas breakfast.
Coleman and Gabby love their Aunt Mari.
They also really love their Uncle Paul and were happy to have him living with us. He is now in Denver, and it feels like something is missing.
We took a trip to L.A. after Christmas and had the good fortune to spend some time with Wendy and Richard. They invited all four of us to New Year's Eve dinner at Baltaire.
We had a fabulous 3-hour dinner. Coleman was content spending time with us at the table while his sister ran off to hang out with the jazz band in the bar.
Coleman has a lot to learn from his grandpa. I've been encouraging him to ask questions.
We did two long bike rides along the beach. On the first day we let the kids have some time to play.
We had the pleasure of visiting Randall at his art deco apartment building, the Mauretania, which was built by the Tin Man. JFK lived there too during the Democratic National Convention.
Randall suggested we go see the Rose Parade floats the day after the parade, and it was a fantastic idea.
I'm the only one in the family who has seen the real Mount Rushmore.
The best part about going with Randall was that he knew what was used to decorate every aspect of each float.
And that's four months in the life of an 8-year old Las Vegan. Not too shabby.

Vinca can overwinter in mild winters with minimal protection.

What is an Electric Meter?
An electric meter, or energy meter, is a device that measures the amount of electric energy consumed by a building, tenant space, or electrically powered equipment.
Electric utilities use electric meters installed at customers' premises to measure electric energy delivered to their customers for billing purposes. They are typically calibrated in billing units, the most common one being the kilowatt hour [kWh]. They are usually read once each billing period.
When energy savings during certain periods are desired, some meters may measure demand, the maximum use of power in some interval. "Time of day" metering allows electric rates to be changed during a day, to record usage during peak, high-cost periods and off-peak, lower-cost periods. Also, in some areas meters have relays for demand response load shedding during peak load periods.
Why it's Important
Most electric meters installed are analog meters, which display units intended to be read visually
Recently, meters have been developed for granular and cloud-connected energy tracking.
This trend is helping achieve better operational performance in buildings. First, by monitoring the energy use of buildings, equipment and tenant spaces in real time, operators can recognize immediately when there is an issue in the building. Secondly, when it comes to maximizing energy efficiency, energy audits are only a snapshot of efficiency; meters that track energy use in real time provide continuous visibility into a property.

Letters to the Editor
Trump continues to defy logic
President Trump continues to defy logic, not to mention common decency, in his insistent tweeting that increased "security," specifically his travel ban idea, and getting tougher, whatever that means, will effectively combat terrorism. And throw in a wall or two as well.
Instead of insensitively criticizing the mayor of London for political correctness and lack of toughness in the wake of the recent horrible terrorist attack in London, it may serve Trump well to remember the words of Democratic strategist James Carville: "It's the economy, stupid!"
And that's not the current state of the U.S. economy, but the increasingly inequitable worldwide and U.S. economic order that enriches the very few and leaves the many hungry. The inequity that will only be exacerbated in the U.S. if Trump's plans are enacted for tax "reform" and further fraying of our already-fragile social safety nets for the needy.
History is clear: People who have no hope and little opportunity are attracted to incomprehensibly desperate causes and actions — such as riots where people burn their own neighborhoods, the appeal of IS, suicide bombers, our last presidential election.
To quote Pete Seeger's "Where Have All The Flowers Gone?": "… when will they ever learn?"

Instalove: March 2017
5 cheers for Instagram...
For all of my fellow Instagram lovers: I want to highlight a few accounts that you should probably be following. I hope to keep doing these posts so that you aren't missing out!
If you love interior design this is a must follow. It's a great balance of timeless home elegance mixed with pops of color/unique elements. The tables capes that she does for different events are in-sane.
I'm lucky to call this girl a friend. Not only is she a phenomenal person, she shares great content on her Instagram. If you are looking for soul-level honesty and empowering messages...she's your girl. She gives so much of her heart on her account and it's beautiful. More on her soon!
*Also, yes she is the babe in the cover photo of this blog post. I got to wander around with her for the day and take her picture(=score).
Stephanie took our engagement photos in Chicago. Anyone willing to brave freezing temps and make it look like we weren't shivering is a winner in my book. Her account is full of rich, beautiful photos that showcase her depth of creativity. Also, she's a great human being.
Blair posts fabulous outfit pictures from all over the globe. You will find casual street looks to high fashion glam. All the heart eye emojis.
This flower shop in San Fran, CA...OHMYGOSH. The stuff that they put together is so beautiful. Also, it doesn't matter where you live, they ship all over the country. Most importantly, they operate through ethical growing principles meaning their flowers are sourced directly from farmers who avoid nasty chemicals being all over the flowers you purchase. They partner with their farms with the goal of creating jobs while providing living wages. Love me a business with heart.
Give these accounts a follow and let me know some of your favorites! Happy Tuesday pals.

Step One: Take a Peek at Our Availability and Pricing Guidelines
You won't find armies of anonymous bakers in our kitchen. Every wedding cake is lovingly made by Libby, which means her availability is limited - particularly during busy seasons. At least one month of lead time is ideal, but if scheduling allows we can create the cake of your dreams with as little as seven days notice.
Prices depend on the number of guests and the final design. Premium elements such as fondant, metallics, and sugar flowers cost more than more simple designs. In general, our tiered wedding cakes start at $5.50 per guest and our additional sheet cakes start at $2.50 per person.
Step Two: Arrange a Cake Tasting
We love to talk cake almost as much as we love to eat it. When you book a tasting, I'll ask a few questions about your favorite flavors and wedding details. We'll then meet for 45 to 60 minutes at one of our cake-tasting rooms in Roscoe Village or Lincoln Park. You can sample three or four cake flavors, while we chat through the details of your wedding and what you want in a cake. I will not let you make a booking at the consultation - this is a no-pressure chance to experience our cake and talk through designs without worrying about a sales pitch.
Step Three: Design and Flavors
After the cake tasting, I'll send you a proposal. If we talked through multiple options (Maybe cake pops and cake shots instead of a tiered cake? Maybe multi-tier cake that tells our story? Maybe a rainbow-hued cake to show off our pride?), I'll detail pricing and design elements for each. If your color scheme changes or the guest list explodes, that's no problem. You can tweak everything from the cake color to the flavors to the exact number of servings up to three weeks before your wedding.
Step Four: Secure your Date
Once you're ready to commit (to our cake!), we ask for a 50 percent deposit to secure your date. The deposit is partially refundable if your plans change six weeks or more from the date of the wedding. Within six weeks of the date, the deposit is nonrefundable
Step Five: Cake Creation and Delivery
About two weeks before your big day, we'll check in to confirm your final guest count and delivery details.

An attitude reboot for those who wish for more happinessNo Matter What Happens, Life Is Still Beautiful! (Stanborough Press, 2017)
Enrique Chaij
You might be experiencing pain or sadness or cruising along doing the same old things. If you've ever thought there must be more to life, or if you've become complacent, this book is for you. From time to time it is good for everyone to reboot their attitude to life. No Matter What Happens, Life Is Still Beautiful! captures the essence of what it means to make our lives really beautiful.
Author Enrique Chaij has extensive experience as a journalist and editor, writer, speaker, radio host and director of the television show Encounter with Life. He is well known in his native Argentina, where he has received numerous awards. As Chaij explains, we all want to be happy but not all paths lead to this goal. In this book, he manages to keep the reader captivated with encouraging stories that not only illustrate his point but help to make his thoughts easier to remember.
Covering such topics as "Harmony in the Home," "Interpersonal Relationships," "Formulas for Success" and "Freedom from Bad Habits," the author explains how to learn to be optimistic, how to develop great relationships and how to control negative emotions and addictions. With colourful illustrations, No Matter What Happens, Life Is Still Beautiful! is also a beautiful book, interspersed with poetry and catch phrases that will stick with you long after you've finished reading.
Even as someone who has a great life, there were many things in this book I learnt to help live life to its full potential. I also discovered things that help me understand what others might be going through and how to support and encourage them in whatever they might be experiencing in their lives.
Life is more than just a read-through; you only get one chance on this earth, so why not make it as beautiful as possible—for ourselves and for others, as God designed it to be.
No Matter What Happens, Life Is Still Beautiful! is available from Adventist Book Centres.

Travel Guide: Celebrating Feria in Algeciras
Feria is a festival celebrated throughout southern Spain (the Andalusia region) that includes bull fights, lots of live music, beautiful costumes, delicious food and shops galore!
This was my first year experiencing it and it was like nothing I'd never seen before. Almost every city has some sort of Feria every year- it's definitely a sight to see!
Lucky for me, I had this dress waiting for me at my sister's house when I got to Spain. Surprisingly enough, it fit me like a glove. Feria dresses are so form-fitting and heavy, I didn't know how I was going to make it through the day. But the dress was so beautiful I didn't want to take it off.
I wish I would have taken more pictures of the different style of dresses I saw there! My forgetful self left the memory card for my camera in my computer, so all I had to work with was my iPhone and it was not cooperating with me. I did manage to get some pictures though!
This is definitely something I want to do again! I better get started on my dress! :)

In the first edition of this work (1969) Pinkus and Mehregan stated that they intended it as a guide to diagnosis, based on personal experience and interpretation. It was not to be considered as a complete textbook in the old sense. In the enlarged second edition (724 pages versus 546 pages) they made changes only where, during the interval between the two editions, there has been more information or need for clarification. They still feel that the use of supplementary texts (of which there are good ones, in English) is desirable. This edition contains a small number of new processes
