Nashville-based alternative rock outfit The Nearly Deads are primed and ready to explode. The band has created a buzz of their very own, mixing the polished pop vocals of singer Theresa Jeane with the aggressive grunge-inspired instrumentals of Steve Tobi, Javier Garza, Josh Perrone, and Kevin Koelsch. The Nearly Deads have managed to create a truly unique genre that not only gives a nod to gritty grunge, but brings it back in a way never heard before. Imagine Kelly Clarkson as front-woman of the Foo Fighters.
The Bergamot: Brooklyn based husband and wife duo, Jillian Speece and Nathaniel Paul Hoff are the architects behind this vibrant, American Indie, Folk Rock inspired sound – powered by unbreakable harmonies with seamless songwriting adeptness that combines a story of both the joy's and heartache's of life.
Jukebox the Ghost's third album Safe Travels marks a period in the band's career that's steeped in change, both personally and professionally. Relationships dissolved and crumbled. Loved ones passed on. The band themselves relocated from Philadelphia to New York City and played over 200 shows since the release of their last album in 2010. In the midst of so much change, the band spent months in the studio creating what would become "Safe Travels", a record that represents a shift in the band's creative trajectory.
For any band, it's terrifyingly easy to get lost in the shuffle, especially in a city as vast as Chicago. Setting yourself apart, or even finding kinship with other like-minded acts, are tough tasks with all the booking and promotion that needs to be done. But from the start, it seems The Fox & The Hounds have never had such issues.
The Ready Set: Jordan Witzigreuter was only 20 years old when nearly overnight, the young Indiana-born musician—who had spent the better part of his teens writing an arsenal of illegally catchy, electro-pop songs—was plucked from near obscurity and thrust into the spotlight. "I started playing shows to a couple people in someone's basement," Witzigreuter remembers. "Then, a year and a half later, I was playing radio festivals with Maroon 5 to 10,000 people."
The Black Tibetans live to Rock and Rock to live. It's as simple as that.
If you think you know Hit The Lights, think again. Sure you've probably seen the band perform aside Paramore or New Found Glory and you're aware that their last album, Skip School, Start Fights charted in the Billboard Top 100 but on their latest disc the band truly bare their soul and prove why they've been able to nurture such a deep relationship with their fans. In other words Hit The Lights are back with the most accomplished record of their career and that's evident with every note on Invicta.
For the past six years four brothers from Chicago have been busy using their love of pop music to build a mini-empire under the name The Hudson Branch. They've collaborated with NPR's popular and innovative podcast Radiolab, shared the stage with English new wave pioneers New Order, and performed experimental live shows alongside media giants Google and Disney. They've also recorded and produced three ambitious albums, leading The Chicago Sun-Times to declare them "a polished quintet, building on roots in sensitive folk-rock (think: Nick Drake), Genteel early '60s pop (echoes of Burt Bacharach) and polite indie-rock (a la the Sea and Cake.)"
The Drunken Cuddle: Acoustic guitars, electric amps, broken strings, broken drum heads, stomping, jumping, kicking, beating, screaming, aggressive, loud, heart felt and soft. Rock? Country? Punk? You tell us.
The Original Wailers is a reggae group led by Al Anderson, best known for his extensive work with iconic singer Bob Marley.

In many cases Gold ETF's have management and accountability issues. Since their early beginnings, there has been substantial growth in the size of Gold ETF's (10 largest American ones hold about 2,200 tons (2,000 tonnes/70.4M ounces) of pure gold in the form of bullion bars, other countries like China have launched their own gold trading platforms). (China's Gold Intake:like Sending Oil to Saudis) making the accountability issue an even greater concern. There is also growing angst over just how much gold is actually in the world's vaults; in March 2008 90 kg of fake gold was discovered in the vaults of Ethiopia's National Bank (replaced with gold plated steel), that happened even though gold sold to the central bank is required to undergo certification by the Geological Survey. (BBC News: Fake fears over Ethiopia's gold) In Europe, gold plated Tungsten was found at Germany's largest private gold refinery, though alarming that doesn't necessarily mean the government certified any of it.
There's also risk in the US where SPDR, the world's biggest physically-backed gold trust states in its list of risk factors:
"Because neither the Trustee nor the Custodian oversees or monitors the activities of subcustodians who may temporarily hold the Trust's gold bars until transported to the Custodian's London vault, failure by the subcustodians to exercise due care in the safekeeping of the Trust's gold bars could result in a loss to the Trust." and "Gold bars allocated to the Trust in connection with the creation of a Basket may not meet the London Good Delivery Standards and, if a Basket is issued against such gold, the Trust may suffer a loss."
Countries are taking more interest in gold; 10% of all foreign exchange reserves are in gold. (World Gold Council) South Korea purchased 25 tonnes of gold in the summer of 2011 for $1.24 billion, making its total reserves 17 times larger (39.4 tonnes) and ranking 45th among all countries. In 2011 Russia (41.8 tonnes), Thailand (9.3 tonnes) and Mexico (99.2 tonnes) also increased their reserves of gold. China's massive holdings only equal about 1.6% of their currency reserves. (S Korea buys gold as safe haven, first time since '98)
Because the prices of gold ETF's is more closely linked to the price of gold than other investment options (individual mining companies, mutual funds), risk also comes from spot price volatility (some companies actually hedge against that by fixing the price at which they agree to sell their gold in the near future). There is also slightly more risk than with mutual funds because like stocks, ETF's trade all day long (like their underlying commodities which also vary in price throughout the day, for mutual funds trading in the underlying stocks ends at the conclusion of the trading day and so they do as well).
Some other notes:
-If any widely used currency ever failed a new gold standard could be implemented as a temporary fix until the situation is resolved.
-Tungsten has nearly the same density as gold but differs in its color and hardness. Thermal conduction of gold (atomic number 79) is about two times that of tungsten (atomic number 74), the ratio of boiling points is also two.

Crashes involving large commercial trucks are notoriously dangerous, but the deadliest type of crash may be preventable, if the industry will agree to modifications to trailer designs. The type of crash targeted is a side underride collision, where a passenger car passes under the belly of the trailer, making its bumper and crumple zones useless as the top of the cabin is sheared off. As NBC News reports, in many such crashes, passengers are decapitated. Government statistics estimate that 200 Americans a year are killed in this manner, prompting lawmakers to wonder whether new safety features could save lives.
Undercarriage crashes were once a danger in rear-end collisions. Passenger cars would pass under the rear of the trailer without any bumper to stop them. Actress Jayne Mansfield was killed with two other occupants of a Buick Electra when the car struck the rear of a tractor-trailer in 1967. Her three children, asleep in the back seat, survived. It wasn't until 1998 that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration mandated that trailers be outfitted with rear guards extending downward to block a car from passing underneath.
Sideguard advocacy received a boost last year after the much-publicized, fatal crash of a self-driving Tesla in Florida. The vehicle's guidance system had failed to distinguish the broad side of a white trailer from the open sky and did not prevent the car from passing under the trailer. The crash killed Joshua D. Brown, 40, of Canton, Ohio.
The Truck Trailer Manufacturers Association has opposed sideguards for trailers, citing "the added cost, technical challenges and concern that the guards could weaken parts of a trailer or dangerously increase their weight." TTMA claims that advocates of sideguards have "overstated the simplicity" of the proposed fix, while "prototypes have been technical and commercial failures."
On average, about 60 people die in large truck accidents in New Jersey every year. Statistics for side underride collisions are not available, so we cannot estimate how many lives might be saved in the Garden State if the NHTSA mandated sideguards.

Whether you are in need of dentures or treatment for TMJ, contact Marlin Flanagin DDS of Emporia, KS. With over 25 years in business, Dr. Flanagin and staff have the expertise and state-of-the-art equipment to perform numerous dental procedures and put your mind at ease.
Sealants are a safe, painless and low cost way to help protect your child's back teeth from decay. Sealants have been used on children's teeth for more than 10 years. A thin plastic coating (sealant) is bonded to the chewing surfaces of the molars and premolars. The sealant forms a hard shield that keeps food and bacteria from getting into the tiny grooves in the teeth and causing decay.
The chewing surfaces of the back teeth have tiny grooves that form as each tooth develops. This is where most decay occurs in children. That's because the bristles of a toothbrush can't get down into the grooves to remove the food and bacteria that get trapped there.
Usually the molars and premolars are sealed. Fluoride helps protect the smooth surfaces on the front teeth and on the sides of the back teeth. But only sealants can keep food and bacteria from getting into the grooves on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth.
A composite (tooth colored) filling is used to repair a toothed affected by decay, cracks, fractures, etc. The decayed or affected portion of the tooth will be removed then filled with a composite filling.
There are many types of filling materials available, each with their own advantages and disadvantages, Dr. Flanagin can discuss the best options for restoring your teeth.
1. We are pleased to offer our patients CEREC restoration services - a superior method of creating precisely-designed, color-matched and highly durable ceramic restorations right in our practice. From simple fillings to full crowns to veneers, CEREC delivers the results you need in a single appointment.
2. CEREC stands for -
3. We use CEREC technology for quick and accurate digital impressions allowing for single visit porcelain restoration. Your appointment time is reserved for you so that you may receive quality care. Our office is a place where you will feel at home, surrounded by individuals who treat you like family.
A bridge is a way to replace one or more missing teeth. Replacing missing teeth makes it easier to chew. It can improve your appearance. It also helps keep your teeth, gums and jaw healthy.
Spaces left by missing teeth may affect your ability to chew properly. If even one tooth is missing, other teeth may slowly shift out of place. This changes the way your teeth fit together. A poor bite may make your jaw sore. Your teeth may become harder to clean, leading to tooth decay and gum disease. Shifting teeth may change your smile.
Natural teeth are meant to last a lifetime. Even if one tooth becomes injured or decayed, it can often be saved through a specialized dental procedure known as a root canal (endodontic) treatment.
Root canal treatment usually involves the removal of the tooth's pulp, a small thread-like tissue that was important for tooth development. Once removed, it is replaced with materials that seal off the root canal from its surrounding tissues. Years ago, diseased or injured teeth were often extracted. Today, even if the pulp in one of the roots becomes injured or infected, the tooth often can be saved through root canal treatment. Endodontics is the branch of dentistry concerned with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases or injuries to the dental pulp.
Losing one or more teeth creates a gap in your smile, affects you ability to chew properly, and can alter your diet and nutrition. While these are all serious issues, did you know tooth loss also leads to bone loss?
With a combination of modern dental technology and an artistic approach we will provide you with professional advice prior to choosing the handcrafted denture that suits you best.
Dentures replace all the missing teeth in the arch to restore your appearance. Without the support from your denture,it could affect your overall health, change your facial structures, and make you look older.
When the time comes for the natural teeth to be extracted, an immediate denture technique can be used to avoid the embarrassment of having to go without teeth. The immediate dentures are placed right after your teeth are extracted.
A crown is a custom-made restoration that completely covers your tooth. Crowns not only repair and strengthen a damaged tooth, they can also be used to improve your appearance by covering a discolored or misshapen tooth.
Crowns require at least two visits. We'll prepare and shape your tooth, then take impressions. A dental lab will make a model from these impressions, and use the model to create your new crown from porcelain, gold or other alloys, or a combination of these materials. Dr. Flanagin will discuss the appropriate treatment concerning this procedure.

Review: FOMO 2018
Natasha Martin
Elder Park was decked out last Friday for FOMO 2018, which went off with a blast! Although the weather peaked making it a hot, sweaty mess in the mosh, people still pushed through (literally) to see their favourite artists. This year's lineup included Pines, Dena Amy, Nina Las Vegas, Stooki Sound, Drezo, The Kite String Tangle, Tourist, SZA, Post Malone, Kaytranada, ZHU, and RL Grime.
The festival had a great range of areas for attendees to hang out when they weren't grooving down at the stage, such as a fantastic deck out on the water for the 18+ goers which gave some pretty rad tropical vibes. Towards the back of the site, there were a bountiful amount options of food trucks that people could dig into, there was plenty of shady areas to sit, a free makeup station, Be There Beauty, where people could get their makeup touched up during the day. Glitoris, which is glitter station and the festival even provided a sunscreen station, which was a great idea and needs to be provided in more festivals and of course plenty of bars that the attendees could 'wet their whistle' at.
Now, many acts had a great controlled crowd and each act gave a fantastic performance! However, two hours before Post Malone came on for his set, people rushed to the stage and created a terrible environment to be in. Many people were being crushed, pushed, stepped on, became dehydrated, and many passed out. Yet, this is no fault of the festival itself, they showed great observation to their attendees and were providing water to the crowd, sprayed them with water to keep them cool, pulled many out of the crowd and even asked all goers to 'take 3 steps back' (on multiple occasions) to ensure the safety of the audience. Make sure when attending a festival to come fully aware of the crowd, take care of each other and remember everyone is there to have fun, enjoy yourself but not in a way that will harm others. Post Malone's set was cut short due to the incident, yet his set was amazing nonetheless.
Before Post's set, we had SZA throw such a heartwarming performance, with her melodic vocals and chill electronic beats, SZA gave us all the woman power we had hoped for! The night ended with an amazing performance by RL Grime, with the crowd jumping along to his heart pumping beats.
All in all, FOMO 2018 was a wicked way to start off the new year and we are very excited to see what next year's festival is going to bring!

What books, movies, and TV shows do you remember as a child?
I remember reading a lot of Richard Scarry when I was young. For some reason I loved the vocabulary words and the simplistic artwork. I also remember reading Go, Dog. Go! and I think some Berenstain Bears books. After that, the only other book I recall was one our teacher read in fourth or fifth grade. I'm pretty sure it was a Beverly Cleary book, but I don't remember which one. And it wasn't until I was in middle school and high school that I really started reading, and that of course started with the Hardy Boys.
One of my earliest movie memories is watching The Empire Strikes Back in the movie theater with several of my friends. It was a birthday party and that's where the birthday kid wanted to go. I was afraid of Chewbacca and covered my eyes when he roared on screen.
Another early movie memory is watching Back to the Future in my uncle's motor home. The fact that he had a motor home was cool enough but it also had a television in the front (in the top bulkhead area between the driver and passenger). And, even cooler, was he had an 8mm tape deck. So he rented (or bought) Back to the Future on 8mm and we watched it in the motor home. Way cool.
TV Shows
I grew up watching a lot of television, but the one that sticks out the most is M*A*S*H. This is mostly due to how much my father resembled Radar. Other shows that I watched included Three's Company, The Cosby Show, Cheers, Taxi, Woody Woodpecker, I Love Lucy, Leave it to Beaver, I Dream of Jeanie, Bewitched, Popeye, The Three Stooges, The Smurfs, The Gummi Bears, G.I. Joe, Thundercats, and the list goes on.
I do remember watching The Three Stooges on Sunday mornings while dad made pancakes. We had a lot of bonding time while we watched TV. Not a lot of talking, but a lot of vegetation.

TSB fleet vehicles which are permanently assigned to a specific agency and division with monthly lease and mileage rates applied according to vehicle type.
Leasing Agencies are expected to use each lease vehicle more than 1000 miles per month when averaged over the life of the lease.
High Use - Lease Vehicle Use is considered to be High Use when Leasing Agencies accumulate more than 2000 miles per month over a TSB-specified period of time.
Minimum Use - When a Leasing Agency is notified by TSB of vehicle use significantly below the Standard for Lease Vehicle Use, the Leasing Agency is to review their history of use for the vehicle in question and take steps to increase the use of the vehicle in a manner which will ensure efficient and effective use of the vehicle, such as rotating vehicle assignments. Failure to meet Standard for Minimum Lease Use will result in the recall or reassignment of the vehicle. The Transportation Services Bureau may, at its own discretion, choose not to replace a lease vehicle at the end of the lease period if the use of that vehicle has repeatedly been classified as Minimum Lease Use.
Modified - Transportation Services Bureau may approve a Modified Standard for Vehicle Use for a specific lease assignment when it is in the best interests of the State of Nebraska.
LEASE REQUESTS - Agencies wishing to request lease vehicles will be required to complete and submit the appropriate form(s), which will include the requesting agency Director's authorizing signature. Contact TSB for additional information. The ability to satisfy requests for vehicles will take into consideration availability of existing fleet vehicles, as well as budget and policy limitations.
EXISTING LEASES - All permanent assignments shall remain valid until terminated by the leasing Agency Director or Vehicle Coordinator or TSB.
Please note - TSB reserves the right to review the status of all vehicles assigned to the agency and to recall any vehicle which will be most advantageous to the state.

Acute care, specialty hospitals and behavioral health hospitals continue to be closely regulated and under increased scrutiny. Federal, state and accreditation agencies are monitoring hospitals to ensure the requirements to implement and report several infection prevention core measures developed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) are met. CMS also mandates surveillance and reporting of various infections requiring hospital infection preventionists to have sound knowledge of these processes.
Furthermore, each state has specific regulations for which hospitals are required to comply. Accreditation organizations such as The Joint Commission (TJC) and the Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program (HFAP) survey hospitals at regular intervals to assess whether core measures are being followed. CMS requires that hospitals follow "nationally recognized guidelines and standards" developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Association of periOperative Nurses (AORN), The Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) and several additional organizations.
A hospital infection prevention program includes a written plan, risk assessment, goals and objectives, tuberculosis (TB) risk assessment, exposure control plans (bloodborne pathogens and TB), policies and protocols. Maintaining an infection-free environment in a hospital setting is a growing challenge. Management of multi-drug resistant organisms (MDROs), including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) must be a high priority for infection prevention and control departments. More recently, the challenges of reprocessing medical devices, including endoscopes, has come into the spotlight . Potentially deadly organisms produce a thin, slimy film of bacteria that adheres to a device's surface. This biofilm, which can be difficult to detect and remove, has made reprocessing an even greater challenge.
Hospital Infection Prevention & Control Services
Infection Control Consulting Services (ICCS) specializes in infection prevention practices for acute care, specialty and behavioral health hospitals nationwide. The team of ICCS infection control and prevention consultants helps facilities prepare for and pass CMS and accreditation surveys through onsite visits and education, remote training and ongoing guidance and recommendations to improve processes. In addition, ICCS consultants provide hospitals with remediation steps and corrective action plans when hospital surveys result in deficiencies.
If you have concerns about your hospital's ability to meet the ever-growing challenges of infection control and prevention compliance or feel that you could benefit from assistance and would like to learn how ICCS can help, contact us for a complimentary initial consultation.

From the age of 15 to the age of 28 I was in my active addiction. I spent those 13 years homeless in downtown Portland doing and dealing methamphetamine. The only time I wasn't homeless was when I was in jail, prison or treatment. I have participated in dozens of programs, including Volunteers of America's Community Partners Reinvestment Program.
Out of all the programs, CPRP was by far the most helpful to me. They are the only ones that made me feel like they cared. I feel as if they stood behind me and even next to me throughout my journey, instead of opposite me trying to block my progress. They helped me overcome all the obstacles I faced, coming from where I come from. They still help me to this day and I graduated almost 2 years ago.
Today, I am a Certified Recovery Mentor instead of a dealer, I drive a VW Touareg instead of riding a BMX, I have a roof over my head and BEST OF ALL...I have a son that I am able to raise and be a good example for."

See the Portland Mercury article on what CPR is doing to reduce gang violence---by providing gang affected young men with culturally specific alternatives and comprehensive services.
GIFT/HEAT Program:
GIFT (Gang Impacted Family Team) and HEAT (Habilitation, Empowerment, Accountability, Therapy) are programs under CPR that work with the Portland gang community, including affected family members. GIFT/HEAT is culturally-specific and works with and educates young men to address their criminogenic lifestyle and how the choices they make impact not just themselves, but their families and their communities.
In June 2017, we celebrated our first HEAT graduation. HEAT is a new program in the Portland area that empowers young men trying to break the cycle of violence by exploring and addressing four areas: Habilitation, Empowerment, Accountability, and Therapy. The HEAT team worked closely with these recent graduates and Multnomah County, including parole officers, to empower these young men in their hopes for the future. We are very proud of them and their accomplishments.

The Real Voyage
"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes."
-Marcel Proust
I read this quote before I began my physical Voyage abroad, not knowing the truth and the sheer power within these words. I was inspired to travel after completing my yoga teacher training. I thought I could cultivate more compassion for others while sharing my own passion- yoga. What I found was beyond my expectations.
The beauty of traveling is that eventually we no longer need to go anywhere to get the experience that traveling once afforded us. Traveling is just a path or a launching pad to show us what's possible. It's the first glimpse of what it's like to truly "wake up". Traveling can be compared to one's experience with taking drugs. You keep seeking new or more places to get you to that place within you which cannot be touched physically. "...the kingdom of God is within you" is one translation from the bible (Luke17:21). In his many books and lectures the yogi and spiritual teacher Ram Dass writes of his relationship with psychedelics in this way. In his book "Polishing the Mirror" he describes it this way, "I continued using psychedelics for five or six years, trying to stay in that place of enlightenment, that place of being love. I would get high and come down, get high and come down, touching that state of being love but unable to stay there. I wanted to be free, not high."
We go to a new place; we get the high, only to come down until we get to the next place. It makes me sad to see so many travelers who get lost in this game. They even get an ego behind how many places they have been. More places = bigger ego. These travelers have missed the mark completely.
I encourage traveling for many reasons. When we travel we are afforded the opportunity to see that there are different ways of doing things. There are different ways to live in this physical word. We can see that we don't need to work a "Nine-to-Five" job everyday.
Traveling can teach us compassion. It teaches us how to give to yourself and one others. When we travel we discover a new languages, hobbies, careers, and even relationship. But we must be careful not to miss the point. The point being that we don't have to travel to begin the practice of waking up. We can wake up through anything- writing, music, gardening, sewing, church, yoga, relationships etc. Every moment—every breath holds the opportunity to awaken. When we breath in we touch God, when we breath out he touches us. I've heard many Buddhist monks express it in a similar way. The saying goes "When you breathe in, it is your gift from the trees, when you breath out it is your gift to the trees." Scientifically speaking we know the truth to this saying. We know nature needs both carbon and nitrogen elements.
So, in reflecting on my travels, the question now becomes what do I see with my "new eyes"? My eyes see there is no me without you, no us without them. There is no sun without rain, no light without dark. There is no summer without winter, no warm without cold. My eyes see the importance of all things. They see that flowers need good soil (or cow poop) in order to grow- "No shit, no flowers". My eyes feel God crying in your tears. These ever changing eyes see the beauty of an impermanent reality. My eyes see that within one thing we can experience everything.

I use one ssd for windows and programs and the others for specific usesIs he gone?
Methinks that only Win10 allows you to install programs in a drive that is not the OS drive (tin hat on awaiting the rebuttal )
Even then, many programs will not give you that option and install regardless.
Is he gone?
It's one for the money
Two for the show
Three to get ready, now go cat go...
Is he gone?
Must be a french thingIs he gone?
Ignore list: hello_hello, tried, TechLord
Yep, Yep, Yep!Is he gone?
In fact I'm reading a short novel by french / canadian author Maurice Dantec called "Comme le fantôme d'un jazzman dans la station Mir en déroute" (Like the ghost of a jazzman in the doomed Mir station), in which each chapter is named after a line from "Blue Suede Shoes".
And I thought that it was quite fitting here : 1 SSD is enough from a "bang for the buck" perspective (hence "One for the money") ; having two and bragging about it is mostly "for the show" (except perhaps for someone doing really intensive video work on a regular basis) ; and then why stop at two, if you really wanna get flashy you've got to get three...
How about 4 internal and 1 externalIs he gone?

What are you good at? What comes so easily to you, that you assume it must be easy for everyone?
We all have at least one thing, if not a whole bunch of things, that fit this description. And if you're like me, you can sometimes take these things for granted.
There's something about how words work that's always come pretty naturally for me. I'm able to get to the core of the message someone wants to get across, to put the words together just in the way they'd hoped but weren't able to get to themselves. It's not just that I can do this stuff. I love it. I love the power of words to make ideas real.
That's a big part of the art of storytelling in marketing. And this kind of thing is very valuable to the clients who hire me for it. Not only that, it's measurably valuable to their businesses.
And yet, because it comes naturally to me, I tend to underestimate its value.
I think people might sometimes do this to their brands and their businesses, too. There's a tendency to believe that being in business, launching a nonprofit, or otherwise turning your ideas into something real, has to be hard. Of course there are things about it that are hard. But that doesn't mean we should ignore, eliminate, or underestimate the things that come naturally.
Want to learn more about how the things that come naturally to you can transform the essence of what you offer the world? Check out: How to Create Your Brand.

Calatrava Architecture in Valencia, Spain
One of my first stops in Valencia, Spain was the City of Arts and Sciences. This area of the city was the former Turia river-bed and has been transformed into a picturesque sunken park containing the modern architecture of Santiago Calatrava. With a long list of accomplishments, Calatrava blew me away with these massive space-age structures. I was able to photograph only a few of these buildings before I had to leave, wishing I had another week to wander in and out of these beautiful structures. These are some photos I was able to capture in a 10 minute time period.

I'm actually writing this post while having a bad day with my mental health.
Well in all fairness, it's been a bad week!
I'm back at university this week, which means my normal work routine has been thrown out of the window.
I've never done well with change, even small things like a train being cancelled or a class being moved can make me anxious and even cause a meltdown.
It should only take me a few weeks to adapt and find a new routine, but until then I'm going to struggle to get any work done and feel really overwhelmed by everything.
It's always good to take some self care time and be kind to yourself at times like this, but there are also some more practical things you can do to help look after yourself when you don't feel great!
[Related: 5 Little Ways You Can Practice Self Care Every Day]
I'll be the first to admit that I don't eat anywhere near as healthy as I should; something I'm trying to change this year.
When I'm having a bad day, I tend to snack on junk food – which in all honesty just makes me feel worse.
I have a recipe book by The Hairy Bikers that is full of recipes and ideas, which I'm slowly trying out to see what I like.
Although between my allergies and IBS, it's been a struggle to find meals I can actually eat!
Snacks are a lot easier as I'm a big fan of things like orange peppers, carrots, apple and grapes. I tend to just cut them all up, put them in a resealable tub and grab some throughout the day.
Drinking enough water is very important when you're having a bad day, as its really easy to accidentally dehydrate yourself.
And as someone who's been quite badly dehydrated (twice!) it's not something I want to experience a third time!
I have a few different reusable water bottles that I use on a regular basis, which I've found really helpful in encouraging me to drink more throughout the day. I've noticed that when I have a drink next to me, I'm more likely to subconsciously drink from it without even thinking about it.
If you're one of those people who doesn't like drinking water, then just put some juice in like Ribena or Robinsons in.
The easiest way to tell how I'm feeling is to look at my room; if its messy and unorganised, you can guarantee I'm having a bad day.
A tidy room is something that always helps me feel a bit more organised and put together, so when I'm not in the best frame of mind I try and set aside some time to have a clean up.
Usually while blasting out one of my favourite Spotify playlists!
I'll start off by dusting, before putting away any clothes that I've just dumped on my desk chair. Then I'll usually have a general tidy up and clear out, getting rid of anything I don't use/wear and take it up to the charity shop.
As a general rule, I always take 5/10 minutes in a morning to meditate before getting on with my day.
As you might know if you've been reading my blog for a while, I created my own Oracle Deck for my final major project at university last year. I use it every morning to do a quick reading, but for me its more about meditating and reflecting on my day/week/month than anything else.
So for example if my card of the day is The Bee, I might reflect on what I've been doing recently and realise I've been working too hard recently and need to take some time off.
I practice witchcraft already, so its a great way to meditate and reflect on how I'm feeling at the same time as practicing my craft!
This is probably the most important (and difficult) things you can do. Trying to force yourself to do work normally when you're having a bad day can actually cause more damage in the long run.
Accept that you just aren't feeling it today, take a deep breath and step back from everything.
Listen to what your body needs and put yourself first. It can be really hard not to feel guilty on days like this, and I know I'm guilty of being one of those people who always has to feel like I've achieved something with my day.

These are such great tips! I have IBS too and I know how difficuilt it can be to find foods that agree with you. If my space is untidy, it really does affect my mental health and makes me feel so suffocated. I find tidying and organising things very theraputic x
Lauren | itslaurenvictoria.co.uk
This post is so accurate!! Tidying up and meditating are my go to solutions for a bad day. I prefer naps and showers and good books, but that isn't always an option. I hope your day got better!! I had a terrible mental health day yesterday, today was better thankfully.
I love these tips and I tend to do most of these when I'm having a bad day! Your photos in this are absolutely lovely. I hope you have a lovely day

Hope you are feeling better now. Thanks for sharing your tips. Decluttering always helps me until I become obsessive with it 🙁
Even on my worst days, I find that I can read and updating my GoodReads progress always makes me feel like I've done something productive!
Rachel || http://anotherstationanothermile.com
I definitely agree about the tidying up – my room always reflects where my head's at!
This was really good! I can relate to a lot of it – pacing yourself without feeling guilty can be so hard. But like you said, it's worth much more in the long run if you do so. Thanks for writing this!! 🙂
Agree with all these tips – decluttering and cleaning definitely helps if I'm feeling a little overwhelmed. I've found jotting down a list of things I've achieve as well as a 'to do' for the week has really helped me keep things in perspective if I'm feeling like I haven't 'achieved'.
It's so awesome that you practice witchcraft. I have tons of books about witchcraft as it's always been something I've felt drawn to. 🙂
I try to eat healthy too, but I've eaten about 7 bourbons biscuits while reading this post haha. I think I've just accepted I'll never be Kate Moss!
Thank you so much for the tips!
Fran x
Very nice post. Thanks for sharing 🙂
These are such good tips. I've been having a couple of bad days recently and tidying up and organising helps so much! Hope your feeling better now, lovely x
Great tips. I always find myself reaching for junk food when I'm having a bad day too. Or dairy free chocolates! I have IBS too (and a dairy allergy) so I know how difficult it can be. When I'm having a bad day I'll often go for a walk or have a bath (if I can manage it) or get comfy on the sofa. I hope you're feeling better now. xox
Thank you! I'm doing much better now thankfully ☺ I'm sorry you have IBS too, I wouldn't wish it on anyone! 😔 we don't have a bath anymore, just a shower and I really miss it some days lol xxx

YALE, Okla. - A Yale math teacher and coach is accused of having a sexual relationship with at least one student but possibly several.
Investigators are not releasing his name, because he has not been arrested or charged with a crime.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation was told about the accusations on May 2nd.
Detectives have since been interviewing students, parents and teachers.
"I was shocked. Honestly, I was really mad, because I got a 13-year-old daughter that's up there and goes to school and had him as a coach, as well," said Ken Newman, a Yale parent.
Yale Schools Superintendent Dale Bledsoe released this statement to NewsChannel 4:
"The Yale School District takes the safety of its students very seriously and does everything it can to provide a safe learning environment. The district recently learned of allegations of inappropriate contact between a student and employee. The district immediately notified law enforcement of the allegations, and the district is currently cooperating with law enforcement. The staff member is on administrative leave while the matter is being investigated, and his employment automatically terminates at the end of school. The district will not comment further on this incident because of the ongoing criminal investigation and confidentiality rights of the parties involved."
Yale police handed the investigation to the OSBI.
"I can tell you that OSBI gets requests like these from across the state at least once a month. This is becoming a very prevalent problem in our society," said Jessica Brown with OSBI.
It is a problem that seems to have taken off with advancing technology and social media.
"This is a big deal, because these individuals, these adults are preying on children. No matter their age. If they're 17 or even 18, they're still a child, and it's still against the law," Brown said.
"It's going to happen but, you know, we just got to be a little more strict with our background checks and just really try to get to know these people before we put them in to take care of our kids," Newman said.
Parents are also learning what they can do better.
"I think we all really need to know who our kids are," Newman said. "As long as we are teaching them right from wrong then, you know, we got to trust the good Lord, that he'll help them out and take care of them."

Sure, 3D printers can print houses, office buildings and all the furniture inside, and bridges, but that's all nonsense compared to the fact that you can actually print a working circular saw or power drill that's as small as your fingertip. In fact, they're both the World's smallest.
New Zealander Lance Abernethy is the creator of both of these tiny tools, which he made on his Ultimaker 2 machine and printed in less than 1 hour each. 3D Print reports that the circular saw is comprised of 4 separate parts: 2 halves for the main housing, one saw guard, and one blade holder. It also has a button that turns the saw on, which is powered by a hearing aid battery.
Although the blade does spin, Abernethy has said that it can't actually cut through anything yet, so don't plan any tiny home improvement projects in the near future.
It's a tale (tail) as old as time: a horse walks into a construction trench, gets stuck, has to be lifted out of it by a helicopter. The trench didn't appear to be that deep, so I don't think OSHA is going to need to get involved with this one.
Demolitions by implosion seems like the easiest way to knock down a structure, but there is so much preparation that goes into it that even the slightest mistake can have a huge impact. When smokestacks are demolished correctly, it can be a thing of beauty, like when these two silos in Scotland hit each other midair or when this asbestos filled stack was precisely demolished to fall into a pool of water. Things didn't go so smoothly for demolition crews in Denmark last week, however.
Sometimes irony just makes a story too hard not to share.
Getting the perfect view of a major building demolition can get you millions of hits, or even better, shared by us right here on Construction Junkie. Have your video get epic-ly photobombed and you'll get even more views and definitely shared by us.
If you've ever wondered what the worst way to get rid of a puddle is, you're about to find out.
Look, it's been a long week.
Tool box safety talks are super important, but sometimes they can be pretty dry. In order to keep people engaged and committed to jobsite safety, sometimes you have to mix it up a little bit. A construction company in New Zealand has an aspiring rapper on their team and they decided to enlist his help for a safety talk and it's pretty entertaining. This company isn't the first company to use rap music to send a message, as Caterpillar also released a rap about their bulldozers.
This is a guest post by Bob Wells, a retired HVAC tech who now dedicates himself to sharing knowledge on his website hvactraining101.com.
No matter what our specialty, once we've been on a construction-related job a few years, we've got a few stories to tell. A lot of them start with "How the he**" did that get there, or "YUCK!"
Sometimes parked cars get in the way of construction, there's no doubt about it. Those types of situations are handled on a case-to-case basis, it seems. There are the extreme reactions, such as smashing the cars with heavy machinery to get them out of the way, or using a skid steer to move – and damage – a legally parked car. There's also the option to simply have it towed, reducing any liability that you or your company might have after causing so much damage. There's apparently also a fourth option, which is to completely ignore the area around a parked car and let the internet laugh about it.
3D printed construction has been on top of the news the past few years, but we have yet to truly see many real world applications of the process. Last year, Dubai unveiled a completed 3D printed office building, which they say was built in only 19 days, but news has been pretty slow until the world's first 3D printed bridge was completed recently.
Dubai is no stranger to doing historic things in the construction industry, especially since it houses the World's Tallest Building, the Burj Khalifa. This time, their putting themselves back into the news with the Word's first completely 3D printed office building.
Up until now everything that has been 3D printed for construction use has been done so in a lab and sent out to a job site and been assembled by humans. The makers of MX3D are on the cutting edge of autonomous 3D printing on location.
3D printing has been around for several years, but, up until recently, it has not infiltrated the construction industry. China has printed a few buildings and a 3D printed house in the Netherlands is currently under construction, as well. Now, the United States is getting into the 3D building mix...

Modern architecture and changing technology in the construction industry allow to erect houses with flat roofs. Each room in the building should offer a source of natural light to make the user feel comfortable. FAKRO's DXW flat roof windows are an ideal solution in such cases.
These windows ensure you can walk across its surface freely.
The frames of the flat roof windows are made of multi-chamber PVC profiles partially manufactured from recycled raw material. The inner surface of the frame is white. Material from which the profiles are made features high resistance to acids and very low moisture absorption, therefore the window can be used in any room.
Profiles are filled inside with insulating material which additionally improves thermal parameters of the product. Additional profiles clamping covering materials under eaves of the frame facilitate finish of the flat roof window connection with the roof covering. Safe, double chamber glazing unit with heat transfer coefficient Ug = 0.5 W/m²K is used in windows.
With its specially enhanced strengthened design and non-slip coating, the window ensures you can walk across its entire surface safely. This is of great importance in case of usable terraces and roofs where the window in flush with openwork platform allows for free and safe walk across its surface and does not spoil aesthetics. This feature significantly improves usability of the roof and terrace.
Optimized design of flat roof windows allows for installation of internal accessories for the type F windows. Available as standard, the DXW window includes profiles clamping the roofing felt or other covering material under eaves of the frame, which facilitate finish of the flat roof window connection with the roof covering.

MY STORY (or 3 times in life that brought me where I stand today)
One morning having coffee and toast I read an article about people traveling the world. That moment I knew I wanted to do the same. After 6 months, and a bit of preparation, I was heading to Italy to start my round the world trip.
When I was 14 I watched for the first time the movie 'The Big Blue', the images of Greece stroke me, some years later I am sitting in my apartment in the suburbs of Athens.
A good friend of mine was celebrating his birthday. One of his presents was a photography book about Henri Cartier Bresson. Going through the pages I fell for film photography, and in my first long trip I learned how to love it.
Making good pictures means to love photography itself, to let it grow inside, and to discover life behind the lens.
Having a terrible case of sweet tooth and with one rule in mind #alwaysleavespacefordessert I'm sure to photograph your wedding cake, your dessert table, and all your beautiful details as if they've just come out of a magazine editorial!
You like your smartphone and your selfies? I won't say no! I like my simple phone -a lot- and promise you won't hear it ring as we shoot. Besides, I've got the perfect gear with me to have you look stunning in every photo!
The great outdoors always had me, in fact I took the round of Spain on my bike! If your wedding is all about an al fresco ceremony I'll make certain that we capture all this magical light in your images!
Kindness and laughter are gifts, and I love making people laugh ... not so ironically ... weddings are about tears too, tears because you laughed so hard, or tears because you love so much! I'm here to capture it all!

Shanghai — Ghana's Ambassador to China, Mr Edward Boateng has assured Chinese investors that Ghana offers them an opportunity to invest in areas that could provide the needed commodities to feed the Chinese market.
He said Ghana is prepared to work with China to the mutual benefit of their peoples.
He gave the assurance to Chinese investors who attended a business and investment forum organised by Ghana as part of the China International Import Exposition in Shanghai to enable her penetrate into the Chinese market.
Mr Boateng said in the current global competitive environment, countries would have to find new markets to expand their trade and remain relevant.
He accordingly thanked the Chinese government for inviting and supporting Ghana to participate in the exposition themed, 'New Era, Shared Future'. Ghana was one of seven African countries supported by China to participate in the exposition.
Mr Boateng said the challenge was for Ghana to take advantage of what China has offered and make inroads into the vast potential market that has been opened up to the whole world.
He said the embassy was more than prepared to support Ghanaian exports to China and pointed out that "there is the need for Ghanaians to fill the containers that China exports to Ghana with relevant items useful to the Chinese such that the containers will return from Ghana filled to the brim and not empty as is happening now".
Ambassador Boateng expressed his gratitude for the selfless commitment and devotion of the Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry Mr Carlos Kingsley Ahenkorah and also commended Mrs Beryl Agyeiwaa Lomotey of the Ghana Embassy in Beijing towards the effective participation of Ghana in the exposition.
The Economic Counsellor at the Chinese Embassy in Accra, Mr Chai said there was the need for Ghana to reduce its trade deficit with China and pointed out that although Ghana is among the10 leading trade partners of China in Africa, China enjoys a huge trade surplus with Ghana.
He said the exposition was to open up the Chinese market to the outside world and urged Ghana to take advantage of the exposition and demonstrate what it can provide China
Ghana's theme for the exposition is, 'Ghana- Your most preferred investment destination in Africa'.

Dystopia Erased
A literary erasure art installation for Made Here: Future (Minneapolis, MN)
Made Here is a walkable urban art experience that temporarily fills empty storefronts and commercial spaces with the work of Minnesota artists. Located in the West Downtown Minneapolis Cultural District, the project aims to highlight artists but also bring attention to available downtown properties—piquing the interest of renters and entrepreneurs.
"Dystopia Erased" showcased four erasure poems sourced from different dystopian novels, with themes including the existence of fact through memory; women's bodies as political instruments; language as a tool of power; the causes of complacency; environmental and economic crises; racial and ethnic tensions; immigration; institutionalized population control; and perceptions of otherness.
Source texts: The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood; Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler; 1984 by George Orwell; and Ink by Sabrina Vourvoulias.

Our Mission
Together we point to Christ by making disciples in the Light of the Gospel.
The Gospel is the story of how God, by the power of the Spirit, is redeeming and reconciling fallen people and fallen creation from Satan and sin to the Father, through the work of Jesus Christ's death on the cross, his resurrection from the grave and his future return.
A disciple is a person who has been reconciled into a saving relationship with God, by repenting of sin and placing faith and trust in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus gives two key qualifications for the making of disciples.
First, he orders baptism, a symbolic initiation into the Christian life in which a believer is immersed in water to give a picture of the new life they have gained from Christ's death and resurrection.
Second, he orders that disciples be taught all that He commanded.
Our Vision
We make disciples in the Light of the Gospel by being:
God-Focused: We see the Lord for who He is and to respond by making much of Him in all that we do.
- We worship in services that reflect God's total worthiness (Romans 11:36)
- We worship in ways that are as wide and varied as our lives (John 4:24; Matthew 22:37)
- We worship in ways that extend beyond our weekly worship services (Romans 12:1-2)
- We experience and savor a relationship with God as a result of the Gospel's saving power (1 Peter 1:3-5)
- We love one another, serve one another and build one another up in the local church through the lens of the Gospel message (Acts 2:42-47)
- We are a part of God's global disciple-making plan by spreading and sharing the Gospel message (Matthew 28:18-20; Luke 24:46-48)
- We line up our plans with God's plans in His Word, knowing that His plans are already blessed (Ephesians 2:10)
- We teach God's Word in a disciple-making manner, pointing to Christ and His Gospel with the Scriptures (Matthew 5:19; Matthew 28:18-20)
- We reach out to the lost, the poor, the low and the despised people who are around us because of the Word's explicit instructions to do so (James 1:27; Micah 6:8)
- We believe that the Spirit of God dwells in the children of God and that He leads us in the way of freedom (Romans 8:9; Galatians 5:1)
- We believe that all God-glorifying direction, fruitfulness, holiness, truthfulness, worship-filled prayer and submissive joy will only occur by the power of the Holy Spirit (John 16:13-15; Galatians 5:16-23)
- We experience victorious living in the power of the Holy Spirit and do not attempt to live under the power of the Law (Romans 7:8-11; Romans 8:14)

Monday sucked. And it was bloody. It was Monday bloody Monday. I had it on my chest, on my robe, on my legs. One of my twin sons gashed his head before 9 am. Yep, that baby on the left currently has stitches on that pretty forehead. It was a shitty Monday. And I'm officially a mother of boys.
I don't do blood.
My sister does blood. She delivers babies and stuff. She's down with that whole see the organs, blood and shit. Literally. Me, not so much.
But surprisingly, I do blood. Or blood did me on Monday and I survived.
When I discovered I was pregnant with twins I desperately wanted girls. I only knew girls. I didn't know anything about boys. Really hoped I would have girls because I didn't think I could connect to boys. I know, silly. Ridiculous. Well, God knew my heart, and he had the plan, and we got boys. My husband named them Bo And Luke. I thought it sounded cute for twins and I loved both names. He just loved Dukes of Hazzard. Ha! Southerner. I never saw the show. Go figure. But Bo and Luke they were, and the moment they were born, I was in love. Duh. I'm obsessed with them. Literally. Crazy in love. It's over the top. But boy, do I have a lot to learn. Pun intended.
So I said I don't do blood. But as of Monday February 27, 2017, I do blood. Oh lot's of blood. 6 stitches worth of blood. And as much as I don't do blood, I'm a mother and I'll die before anything tragic happens to my children. And when my son fell and gashed his forehead and I saw blood, I grabbed the nearest washcloth and I stopped the blood. I didn't know what I was doing, I just stopped the blood. He was flailing and screaming and his twin brother watched the whole thing in horror as he could see mommy was frightened too. I was sweating in my robe and drops of blood covered my chest, my arms, my robe and I held onto to him for dear life and I stopped that blood. I cried in panic as I didn't know what to do, but I kept one hand on the rag on his forehead, and I called the husband, the neighbor and the nanny. Nobody answered, so I called the doctor. I kept my hand on stopping the blood. I stuck to my mama instincts. And I calmed down. The blood stopped. I remained calm. My son calmed. I got direction from the nurse. I executed. We went in for stitches.
Aside from the complete torture of the 15 minutes Bo screamed (and I sobbed) while they injected lidocaine straight into his wound, and the doctor put 6 stitches into him, all while two nurses held him and I held him and rubbed his legs whimpering "mama's here you're ok", we did survive the bloody Monday of February 27, 2017. And I learned I actually do, do blood. And also, when there's a crisis and you don't know what to do, you actually do. And that lesson in and of itself, is like, woah.
This all sounds a bit dramatic and indeed it was. It was scary as shit. But here's the thing. There isn't anything I wouldn't do for my children. Nothing. But you don't know that until you have them. You also don't know that until you are faced with what motherhood throws you. This has changed me. Truly. I'm not who I was 6 years ago when I became a mother. I'm a different person. Similar, but different. The woman in me now is more strong to the punch, more smooth to the sting, and more open to the broken heart. And I'm proud of who she is. Although from time to time I call her imperfect and sometimes not accomplished enough, I realize those are all the things that make me human and make me the woman I am today. And when and if I doubt myself in any endeavor in life, I must remember the strength is there and has been all along. Thanks to my littles.
They always say momma's have a red badge of courage. I never really knew what that meant until Monday. Clearly I do now. And clearly I have a lot to learn. And yep, I'm officially a mother of boys. Bring it.

Gillian Anderson will be throwing it back to the 80s as she takes on the role of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, according to reports.Jeremy Clarkson confirms more Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? is on the way
The actress will portray the political figure in series four of Netflix hit The Crown and will begin shooting in summer, Sunday Times reports.
The 50-year-old has enjoyed a successful career spanning decades in TV, film and theatre, most recently in Netflix's Sex Education in which she starred as sex therapist Dr Jean Milburn.
Gillian has won both a Golden Globe and an Emmy Award for her role as FBI Special Agent Dana Scully in the X Files, which she's starred in for over 25 years.
She also appeared in BBC's 2013 crime series The Fall and later she starred in its 2015 drama Bleak House.
On the big screen, Gillian notably starred in The Last King of Scotland, Viceroy's House and Shadow Dancer.
While fans may be rejoicing at the thought of her on The Crown, they may be waiting a while as series three itself is yet to be released – and there's no word as to when filming will begin on the fourth.
Gillian will be joining the ranks of esteemed portrayals of Margaret Thatcher, which includes Meryl Streep and Janet Brown.
The controversial prime minister will play a major role in Queen Elizabeth's life as the show reaches the 1980s, and is likely to cover major moments in UK history including the Falkland's War and the Miners' Strike.
