A Dose of Reality in a Pinterest World
Part of me says good for you, and part of me wants to laugh uncontrollably. Blogs and Pinterest are not always reality, or at least a full picture of reality. Wait, am I saying that I and other bloggers are lying and not representing reality? No, however, no one can share the whole story, even if they try.
Yes, we may have done some very cool projects or organizing that might help someone else, but did anyone ask what DIDN'T get done that day? My dear husband can attest to the many loads of laundry he folds because I would often be content to just pick clothes right out of the basket. Or the other numerous household chores he does so that I am free to do "other" things like invest in our children's education, blog, or just collapse in exhaustion at the end of the day.
Of course my school room is nice and organized. I cleaned it to take the picture! ;) How about the months of November and December where we schooled at the kitchen table because my school room was such a mess we couldn't find the table to school on... (I did finally clean it btw!) ;)
Pinterest and blogs are just part of the picture. Notice most blogs focus on one thing: homeschooling, cooking, organic or clean eating, fashion, etc. No one has it all together. We are all humans with a plethora of faults and failures, and we all get it right sometimes. Pinterest and blogs are the snapshots of those we did it moments. (Although, I do try to share our fair share of we missed it moments because I think those often inspire just as much!)
It saddens me when I hear people saying that a blog, particularly mine, has made them feel guilty as a parent or a homeschool mom. That isn't the point. The idea behind Pinterest and blogs is to inspire and show what things look like for them. For every positive thing that get posted or pinned, 400 negative ones happened in our home. My kids watch too much tv, eat too much fast food, and I spend way to much time on the computer... but hey, we do projects and read books! ;)
I am going to be honest, I think Pinterest has made me a better mom. Those ideas I always wanted to do, but had no idea how? I now have easy access and quick instructions. We all have gifts, and Pinterest and blogs allow us to share them. I don't feel a guilt in the world if that mom came up with the idea and I just did it with my kids. I did it and that is all that matters. And all the ideas I don't get to? Who cares? If I pin 20 recipes and only use three, did my family and I not benefit?
Allow the ideas you see online to inspire you to do more, to enjoy your children and your spouse, but not to place a burden upon you. God has a purpose for each of our lives individually and my call and yours are not going to be the same. We all have different personalities and things that invigorate or exhaust us. We are all different and we all have different gifts.
Don't get overwhelmed or weary at seeing what you think is "good." Remember it may not be "best" or even "good" for your family. Remember, the person who cooked that gourmet meal, cleaned and organized that room, had to sacrifice other things to do it. And the day that huge project got done? They ate pizza.
Be encouraged. You are the person God has chosen to be married to your spouse, raise your children, manage your home, and for many, homeschool your children. God has you in these roles for a purpose, and you are the best one for the job.
The next time you are tempted to be discouraged or feel inferior due to something you see on Pinterest, remember that behind the pretty picture is the mess of their own reality . . . just slightly outside the border of the image.

Chapter 7
Portfolio Basics
Remember Axiom #7? The one about putting all of your eggs in one basket? Yeah, that one. If you want to minimize your risk while maximizing your return (optimizing your risk/reward ratio), you'll want to diversify. Diversifying your portfolio takes out a lot of the risk without significantly affecting your reward.
To diversify means to spread your portfolio out into more than one or 5 stocks. 7-10 is a good number. You can certainly over-diversify, too, by investing in too many individual stocks. You also suffer because the more stocks you own, the harder it is to keep track of them and do your homework.
An easy way to diversify is to buy a mutual fund. The fund management team has already done some of the homework and has chosen dozens, if not hundreds, of stocks, taking a lot of the risk out. Don't think that you've diversified simply because you own a mutual fund or two (or ten). Many mutual funds are heavily weighted in one sector or another (or a country). For example, many mutual funds were heavy in technology stocks in 2001, and we all know what happened there!
Such non-diversity really ate into a lot of people's portfolios.
People who run their own businesses could be thought of as ultimately putting all of their investment eggs in one basket. But there is a difference. To say that you've put all of your eggs in one basket is a definite understatement. That business is your livelihood and you really have a vested interest in keeping it afloat and growing. However, we're talking about investing your extra dollars here, not building a business. So, take it from me: Own at least 7 stocks or a well-diversified set of mutual funds.

Factoring order fulfillment, returns into a peak season service strategy
Photo source: iStock.com
By Chris Anton, EVP/head of global sales operations, Snapfulfil
As painful as it might seem to jump back into the peak season mindset, fortune tends to favor the prepared, so getting a head start and developing your customer service strategy now can set your store up for success down the line.
Order fulfillment and reverse logistics are two good places to start as you begin mapping out improvements to customer service during peak periods. As the demand for omnichannel and on-demand shopping increases, order fulfillment and reverse logistics are playing a vital role in the retail customer experience. In fact, a recent McKinsey & Company study indicated delivery options, speed and returns processes are considered among the most important attributes to online shoppers.
Undoubtedly, online giants like Amazon and Zappos have had tremendous influence on consumer expectations in this realm and have set the bar high for other retailers. As a result, consumers feel like all retailers should have order fulfillment and reverse logistics operating like a well-oiled machine. That's why hiccups here can be detrimental to your brand's reputation.
Don't let your customers down, especially during peak season when it's your moment to shine. It's time to look at where order fulfillment and reverse logistics live — the warehouse — and get it in order before the height of your year.
Drill into warehouse processes to ensure order fulfillment runs smoothly
Gone are the days when the warehouse was simply a holding place where items were stored and eventually packed for shipping. The warehouse now is fast becoming the lifeblood of the retail customer experience — especially for ecommerce retailers.
To keep up with consumer demand, retailers must take a hard look at their warehouse operations and order fulfillment processes to assess what needs to be improved well before the Black Friday/Cyber Monday rush. Inventory and staff management, along with picking/packing techniques and shipping significantly impact the customer experience.
Let's start with inventory. There is nothing worse than clicking on an item you like and learning it's out of stock. Why expose your customers to the same disappointment? Retailers today must see around the corner and anticipate consumer needs to keep satisfaction levels high. Having visibility into inventory levels and the ability to plan and forecast based on past consumer behavior should be a core component of your peak season success plan.
Having the right staffing levels is also important to factor in. For example, if you know November has historically been a high order volume month, hire backup accordingly so you're not overwhelmed with demand and can properly deliver to customers. Labor is one of the costliest areas of the warehouse, so understanding exactly how many team members you need, and when, is critical.
Packing techniques and shipping options should also be variables in your peak season customer service strategy. It's smart for retailers to look at order packing and shipping as an opportunity to differentiate the brand and go the extra mile for consumers. Whether it's creative packaging or offering free shipping, and expedited options, it's all additive to the customer experience.
Enhance returns procedures or lose return customers
While online ordering is booming, so too are returns. UPS estimates it delivered more than 1.3 million return packages in a single day following the holidays.
This means your warehouse needs to handle returns as seamlessly as orders so the customer experience isn't further disrupted. Developing and implementing a comprehensive returns process, supported by clear, well-documented policies can keep the customer experience with your brand positive.
From eliminating confusion around proper refund processing to driving faster execution, documenting processes creates and maintains efficiency. Return policies should be clear on the return authorization requirements, spell out customer entitlements and associated exceptions and attempt to capture as much information as possible about why the product is being returned so necessary process improvements can be made to avoid future errors.
Not having a proper reverse logistics process in place can not only cost you a customer, but it can also result in wasted capital. Bad return strategies cost retailers upwards of $260 billion in 2015.
However, an efficient, system-driven return inspection and handling process can drive optimal dispositioning so that returns that can be restocked, either as new or open box items, get labeled accordingly and quickly returned to inventory for resale. According to a recent BI Intelligence report, retailers that implement an effective reverse logistics process can recapture up to 32 percent of total product cost.
Put systems in place that improve your performance across the board
Ultimately, how well you manage order fulfillment and reverse logistics in peak periods boils down to the quality of the warehouse management systems you've implemented to address these areas.
When managed manually, order fulfillment and reverse logistics can be highly inefficient and error prone. Customer service suffers as a result. Proficiency on the back-end translates to exceptional experiences on the front-end with consumers.

Where I get to recap my fruitful year and compile all the best ones I've read!
I can't believe that this year is almost over.
I've so much fun writing, reading, shopping for books and meeting bloggers and authors. My decision in focusing on book blogging has been fruitful and I know I've made the right choice. This year basically is my first in the book blogging community and I could say, somehow, I am already an accomplished blogger. Without all of your support, I would've failed. So thank you all, guys!
2012 is a year that would forever leave mark in my heart. It is the year I followed what my heart truly desired and that is THIS, writing and reading and I've never been any happier since then. It is truly a remarkable one and I wish more success to all of us this coming new year.
Before the year reaches its last page, I would just like to share the best 2012 had offered me.

I have so many things in my mind for 2013 and am keeping my hopes up that it will be the year for me not only for my blogging "career" (can't think of the right term meheheh) but for my personal growth as well!

After having a delightful breakfast at the hotel, we will take this day to go around the historical town of Kathmandu for some sightseeing. The sightseeing tour will take you to some of the ancient temples and historical places of great religious and spiritual importance for both the Hindu & Buddhist religion. We will start the sightseeing tour in our private vehicle with a member of our staff for guiding you through the whole sightseeing tour. We will start our Tour with the great Hindu Temple Pashupatinath.
Pashupatinath: Situated 5 kilometers east of Kathmandu City, Pashupatinath temple is one of the holiest temples dedicated to Lord Shiva. Situated amidst a lush green natural setting on the bank of the sacred Bagmati river, the temple built in pagoda style has jilted roof and richly carved silver doors. Visitors will be permitted to view the temple from the east bank of Bagmati River, entrance in the temple being strictly forbidden to all non Hindus. Pashupatinath is the centre of annual pilgrimage on the day of shivaratri which falls in the month of February/March. Behind the temple are the cremation grounds.
After Pashupatinath we head towards Boudhanath, another magnificent pagoda style Buddhist stupa famous for its nickname "The little Tibet".
Boudhanath: This Stupa, 8 kilometers east of Kathmandu City, is one of the biggest in the world of its kind. It stands with four pairs of eyes in the four cardinal direction keeping watch for righteous behavior and human prosperity. This Buddhist Stupa was built by King Man Deva at the advice of the Goddess Mani Jogini. It is built on an octagonal base inset with prayer wheels. The shrine is ringed by houses of Lamas or Buddhist priest.
After finishing the tour around Boudhanath we head towards Kathmandu Durbar Square, another small site also listed on the UNESCO world heritage site for its great religious importance.
Kathmandu Durbar Square: Kathmandu Durbar Square is one of the major attractions in Kathmandu Valley. The word Durbar Square translated in English as Palace Complex. The Durbar Square, with its old temples and palaces, epitomizes the religious and cultural life of the people. Interesting things to see here are:-
Kumari (The Living Goddess) Gar, At the West end of the square, is a beautiful house full of woodcarving of different God and Goddesses. This Palace is three storied and in this palace, lives the very famous living Goddess Kumari. Both Hindus and Buddhists equally venerate her. For Hindus she is the reincarnation of Hindu Goddess Kali. She is equally worshiped by Buddhists because she is chosen from Buddhist family. This shows the harmony between Buddhist and Hindus in Nepal.
Maru Ganesh: Small yet the most visited temple of Kathmandu is Maru Ganesh. The people of Kathmandu valley believe that the four Ganesh in four corners of Kathmandu valley protect the peoples living in Kathmandu. Every day people go to worship this temple and especially on Tuesdays one can see a long queue of people waiting for hours to worship. Tuesday is considered the day of Ganesh.
After concluding the tour around Kathmandu Durbar Square we will head towards Swayambhunath nicknamed the "Monkey Temple". The Buddhist stupa holds some great artistic and magnificent small Buddhist monasteries where you will witness some great Buddhist culture and tradition.
Swayambhunath: Swayambhunath is located approximately 4 kilometers and this Buddhist Stupa is said to be 2000 years old. The Stupa which forms the main structure is composed of a solid hemisphere of brick and earth supporting a lofty conical spire capped by a pinnacle of copper gilt. Painted on the four sided base of the spire are the all seeing eyes of Lord Buddha. This hill is a mosaic of small Chaityas and Pagoda temples.
Fly from Kathmandu to Lukla (2886m.) and it takes about 30 minutes. Trek from Lukla to Phakding (2640 m.) which takes approximately three hours.
You transfer to the domestic airport for your flight to Lukla. Lukla is a small town with an airport. There are few tea shops, lodges, hotels and general stores. You begin today's trek from Lukla following a gentle climb up the mountainside on the left bank of the Dudh Koshi river. Nupla (5885m) can be seen in the distance on the opposite bank, is a peak atop the Kongde Ridge. You descend a mountainside path that merges into your route to Everest, with views to a valley to your right; and at its far end, Kusum Kang (6367m.) The Dudh Kosi approaches as you pass a Mani wall and arrive at Ghat teahouse. You continue along a small path with many climbs and descents following the left bank of Dudh Koshi to Phakding.
Trek from Phakding to Namche Bazaar (3440 m.) and it takes approximately five hours. The trail starts along a level path along the right bank. Thamserku looms skyward on the opposite bank. You cross a stream and climb the terraced hill from the Dudh Koshi route, to arrive at Bengar. The trail now climbs from the riverbed on the left bank into the mountain, through a forest to Chumoa. You continue along a path with many ups and downs; cross a stream, and pass by the tiny village of Monjo. Now you descend the path of stone steps and return to the right bank over a wooden bridge. After a short climb you come to Jorsale's teahouse and hotel, also stop at the National Park Service where a park entrance fee is collected. After your departure from Jorsale, you enter a forested mountainside. You follow a short walk along the riverbed of this V-shaped valley where the river forks – the right is the Dudh Koshi and the left is the Bhote Koshi that leads to Nampa La. After short distance along the Bhote Koshi, begin the steep ascent to Namche Bazar. As the mountain path zigzags uphill, you will emerge at a ridge top rest area that offers excellent views of Everest (8848m) and Lhotse (8516m.) The climb eases somewhat, and Namche Bazar appears ahead as you travel along the path surrounded by pines. Pass the plateau where the Saturday bazaar is held and enter the village. Namche Bazar (3440m) is surrounded on three sides by mountain ranges and opens out only where it faces the Bhote Koshi. The village is a central hub of the area and food, sundries and even mountain climbing equipment may be purchased here
Rest day at Namche Bazaar (3440 m.) for acclimatization. Namche is tucked away between two ridges amidst the giant peaks of the Khumbu and has an abundance of lodges, tea shops and souvenir shops as well as a magnificent outlook. It is an ideal place to spend a rest day for acclimatization to the high altitude before heading off towards Tyangboche. For the acclimatization you walk upto Khhumjung where you can visit monastery. Khhumjung is densely populated by Sherpa community. You can also enjoy the splendid views of Everest, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Nuptse, Lhotse, Tawche, Kwangde and so on. Or you can have an hour walk up to the Syangboche (3800m.) where Everest View Hotel is situated above Namche for the outstanding view of Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Thamserku and Kusum Kangaru. .There is also good views from the National Park Centre and Museum just above the town. This museum exhibits Sherpa culture.
Trek from Namche Bazaar to Tyangboche (3867 m.) which takes about five hours. Leave the village for a climb to the top of a ridge and level mountain path that offers an excellent panorama of Thamserku, Kantega, and Kusum Kangrib. To the right there is a steep cliff that drops down to the Dudh Koshi, faintly visible on the valley floor below. Make your way around a branch ridge, and Ama Dablam (6812m) Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse (7855m) and Tawoche (6501m) suddenly appear. After a gentle descent the mountain path ends; you will come to the fork leading to Gokyo. You descend past two tea houses through the village of Trashinga. Though you cannot see it, you can hear the Dudh Koshi and soon you descend to the river and arrive at Phunki Tenga. It is a long climb to Tyangboche; the first half is especially steep. As you climb through the forested zone, the incline eases and a splendid view appears. You continue climbing the mountainside diagonally until you come to the stone gate built by lamas which marks your entry into Tyangboche (3860m). You may use the large plateau in front of the splendid monastery as your campsite. There are a lodge and hotel managed by the National Park Service. Tyangboche is an important lookout point on this course, and the sunset on Everest and Ama Dablam is especially beautiful.
Trek from Tyangboche to Dingboche (4260 m.) which takes approximately five hours. Leave Tyangboche and the Khumbu mountains as a backdrop-and descend a rhododendron covered area to emerge to a pleasant level area. Being welcomed by a long Mani stone wall you enter the village of Deboche. You continue to Minlinggo and leave the mountain path to cross over a suspension bridge to the left bank of the Imja Khola. Climb the mountain path while looking up at Ama Dablam and Kantega (6779m) as they appear on the opposite bank. Ascend the chorten-lined route, come to a fork, the upper path passes Pangboche and a monastery, take the lower path to Pangboche Olin and its stone wall-enclosed potato field. Pass through the village and cross a stream to a path skirting a rocky area to terraced hills along the riverbank. The trails climb slowly, winding above the Imjatse River, to a big Mani Stupa. From here, the walk is fairly moderate as you enter the Imjatse Valley beneath the mighty peaks of Ama Dablam, Nuptse and Lhotse with views of the eastern snow capped mountains including the Island Peak or Imjatse (6,189m). Dingboche is a beautiful patchwork of fields enclosed by stone walls protecting the crops of barley, buckwheat and potatoes from the cold winds and grazing animals.
: Trek from Dingboche to Lobuche (4930 m.) which takes about five and half hours. The onward journey leads north for up to 50-minutes until you come to a mani-prayer Stupa. The trail is gentle looking down to Pheriche village below. Today's walk offers views of the Mt.Tawache, Ama Dablam and to the north-Pokalde (5741m), Kongma-tse (5820m) and the great wall of Nuptse. After two hours walk, the trail from Pheriche joins near Dugla (4595m) before a small wooden bridge over the river of Khumbu glacier. You stop at Dugla, for lunch, before continuing for an hour up a steep hill to the top, where there are views of Mt. Pumori and other peaks west of Everest. After a short break, continue trekking up to Lobuche, hidden and sheltered from the wind.
Trek from Lobuche to Everest Base Camp (5486m.) via Gorakshep (5180m.) and it takes about seven hours. Trek up the valley following the rocky moraine path, view icy glacial pond and icebergs down below of Khumbu glacier. After the last rocky moraine dunes, a short downhill walk brings you to Gorakshep, the flat field below Kala Patthar (5545m) and Mt. Pumori (7145m.) Gorakshep is the location of the original Everest Base Camp with the new camp being further up the valley. Now the trail winds through rocky path and Khumbu glacier. The view of Nuptse, Lho-La and Khumbutse appears at the front of you. Sometime the avalanche can be seen on the way. After a great moment, you retrace back passing through Khumbu glacier with magnificent views of Lobuche, Cholatse, Mt. Pumori and Tabuche.
Trek from Gorakshep to Kala Patthar (5545m.) and trek to Pheriche (4243m.) and it takes about six hours. You accomplish an early morning climb to Kala Patthar (5545m.) and enjoy the view of sunrise. From Kala Patthar you can have a panoramic view of Mt. Everest and many other mountain peaks like Mt. Pumori, Mt. Lingtren, Mt. Khumbetse, Mt. Nuptse, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Ama Dablam, Mt. Thamserku and many more.
Pheriche is the place where one can make phone calls to any part of the world. You can see the mountain Yaks in Pheriche. Yaks are normally regarded as the porters in this area. The town of Pheriche is known as windy town. There you can see the perpendicular walls of Cholatse and Tawache. There is located Himalayan Rescue Association Aid Post and foreign volunteer doctors are to provide medical treatment to trekkers as well as local people.
Trek from Pheriche to Namche Bazaar (3440 m), which takes approximately six hours. You can have a morning visit to the research center. Then, trek back to Tyangboche, an easier descent passing through rhododendron forest, continue walking Tyangboche. It is a small village with a famous monastery offering you the splendid view of Ama Dablam, green hills and river views.
Trek from Tyangboche to Namche Bazaar (3440 m) which takes about four and half hours. The walk from Tyangboche is mostly downhill on the main busy trail with a few steep climbs for an hour from the bridge at Phungitenga, near to Shanasha. The walk to Namche is very scenic on a long winding path. En route you will visit traditional villages of Khumjung and Khunde. There is an opportunity to visit one of its monasteries, the only monastery that has a Yeti Scalp. From Khumjung village another 30 minutes walk brings you to the village of Khunde, where you can visit the Khunde Hospital funded by Sir Edmund Hillary Trust. After Khunde, a scenic and pleasant walk brings you to Namche for overnight stay.
: Trek Namche Bazaar via Phakding (2640m), Monjo to Lukla (2886m) and it takes total six hours. Your final day's trekking follows the Dudh Koshi back down to Lukla. This last evening in the mountains is the ideal opportunity for a farewell party with the Sherpa guides and porters, being offered chhang and Sherpa dance with a memorable trekking experience in mind.
Fly from Lukla to Kathmandu which takes 30 minutes. You take an early morning flight back to Kathmandu. Take a rest for the day. In the evening you can go for a small shopping around Thamel for any souvenirs you might want to take to your homeland. We will provide you a fully sponsored farewell dinner for your great achievement in successfully completing the Trek at a restaurant of your choice or our home. Stay overnight in hotel.
Start the day with a nice breakfast and we will make sure you will get in the right time at the Tribhuwan international airport for your departure. Bid farewell to Nepal & take your flight aboard to your native land.

Michigan Unwed Mother Custody
Hey everybody. this week on ask cristen we're talking aboutwho's we?why age is a number, sure, but it's also a lot more than a number like for instance a set of globally inconsistent and historically mangled and rather confusing laws. This week's Ask Cristen question came a while back from Alexsmilestolies. 'What's your opinion on different legal ages of consent? Is the ability to give consent even measurable in age or legally?' Question mark. To answer your first question of what my opinion is.
Of all these different legal ages of consent, a) i think it's super confusing, b) i think it reflects how we culturally approach sexual maturity, particularly of girls, 3) nope that would be c) I think it promotes a lot of mixed messages about what is and isn't okay and acceptable behavior between people. There is an absolute utility and importance of having these kinds of laws in place in order to create legal ramifications for things like statutory rape and pedophilia. At the same time that leaves a lot of other people wondering what.
Is and isn't right. a lot of this really started to emerge in england in the 18th century with this growing concept of childhood as distinct very definitively from adulthood. People starting to get concerned about the welfare of children, placing these ages of consent laws in place. They placed them in place. In a lot of European countries the age of consent at this time was 13. In early, early America, the ages of consent were even lower, usually 10 to 12 years old. A lot of it was scientifically based on the average age of menarche or when.
Someone gets their period for the first time, aka when aunt flow first comes a knocking and says hello, oh god! And then spills red koolaid all over your white pants. Then when you have more urbanization and industrialization, more women working outside the home and being unmarried at the same time, you see ages of consent starting to rise because there is that moralizing over oh my god we must protect the women from themselves and also from these men. It's focused on women because women are the ones who can get pregnant and pregnancy.
Out of wedlock was also an economic liability. and it's also worth noting in a horrific kind of way that these kinds of laws that were being enacted were exclusively intended and executed to protect white women. This is the era in which legally speaking, black women could not be raped. The racist ideology at the time maintained that black women as well as black men were hypersexualized creatures and thus would always be playing the role of temptress rather than ever possibly being the victims of rape. Which might sound astonishing.
Today but was just the way of life. let's talk about now and alex's second question of whether it's even possible to quantify when someone can give consent in a healthy and knowledgeable kind of way by age or legality. Generally speaking yes, because at some point in order to codify this you have to establish some kind of benchmark. That benchmark tends to sway somewhere between 13 and 17. Really big window. As William Saletan outlined so well at Slate. Our bodies prepare us pubertywise for sex and our brains start thinking about.
Sex before our psyches are really that mature and that happens before our emotions are fully mature, if I mean does that ever even like happen though. I can also attest to that disconnect between the time when our bodies and sex brains for lack of a better term develop and when our maturity psychologically and emotionally develop. Because at the time I absolutely thought I was mature enough and ready to have this kind of relationship with a significantly older guy that probably would have gotten like superphysical, superfast. Looking back.
Now through my adult eyes i can see how he and i were on completely different playing fields, not even so much physically, but more psychologically, experientially and maturitywise. And I'm honestly grateful in retrospect that it wasn't allowed to happen due to my parents being like, whoa, no. Not because the guy was some kind of predator but rather because he saw me as someone more mature both physically and sexually probably, and mentally then I actually was. Please keep in mind that a) I'm recounting a personal experience that.

'Plenty of work' in Puerto Rico
There are many people in Puerto Rico with special needs that could complicate flood recovery.
BY SUSAN KIM | BALTIMORE | February 3, 2004
Some organizations focused their support in the response phase of the relief effort, others in recovery phase, and still some have worked both phases.
Josué Díaz
A 20 percent unemployment rate. Hundreds of elderly or disabled people unable to repair their homes. Hundreds more undocumented citizens who may not receive federal aid. There are many people in Puerto Rico with special needs that could complicate their flood recovery.
Severe storms moved through Puerto Rico from Nov. 10-23, and then again Dec. 6-8, causing widespread damage across the island.
Of more than 55,000 people who registered with FEMA for disaster assistance, so far 3,513 have "special needs," said according to Josué Díaz, a voluntary agency liaison for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
These cases have come to the attention of coordinated efforts between federal, state and voluntary agencies. And another 2,051 people may also have needs that will complicate their disaster recovery.
FEMA declared 23 municipalities federal disaster areas. Areas along the south and northeast coastlines were the hardest hit. The FEMA registration line will close Wednesday, Feb. 4.
At least 18 municipalities that were significantly impacted were not expected to receive a declaration for federal assistance.
Many of the hardest hit communities are rural neighborhoods with a comparatively high number of elderly residents and unemployed people. In some communities, 20 percent of people are unemployed or elderly.
The unemployment rate is 19.82 percent in the declared municipalities higher than Puerto Rico's average of 11.5 percent.
These groups may need assistance beyond the federal government 's maximum disaster benefit for repairs, according to Church World Service and other responding groups.
There are also significant numbers of undocumented families, especially on the eastern side of the island. Families have been identified that do not qualify for assistance because their damaged or destroyed homes were on land to which they do not hold titles. Many of these families also have undocumented immigration status.
Guanica, a community on the southwest coast of the island, has more than 80 families who are affected and staying in temporary shelters. Many homes in this area are built on sides of hills and mountains and are vulnerable to landslides. In addition, some of the homes have been identified as being on top of an underground lake, and are sinking as the water table rises and de-stabilizes the ground.
If new rains come, the ground could give way and some homes could slide down the mountain.
Voluntary agencies have been actively helping meet people's needs since Nov. 10, said Diaz, who has been working closely with the Puerto Rico Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD).
"Some organizations focused their support in the response phase of the relief effort, others in recovery phase, and still some have worked both phases. A significant note is that they have supported the disaster-affected families with internal resources," said Diaz. "As a result, their resources are depleted and there is still plenty of work to do."
A priority of faith-based and voluntary groups will be to continue to address unmet needs, particularly people with special challenges.
CWS, in addition to helping coordinate a long-term interfaith recovery plan, sent a shipment of 2,000 "Gift of the Heart" health kits, 600 baby kits, and 1,000 lightweight blankets. Three groups are distributing the materials to the most vulnerable families: Iglesia Evangelica Unida (United Church of Christ), Iglesia Metodista (United Methodist Church), and Associacíon de Servicios Sociales Pentecostales (ASSPEN) of Puerto Rico.
CWS is issuing an appeal to respond to anticipated funding requests for recovery groups that will assist families with unmet needs as well as continued support for ongoing work in the affected municipalities.
Diaz and others estimate recovery will take two years. At least some homes will be bought out in an effort to mitigate damage from future disasters. Other mitigation efforts will include building and repairing floodgates in vulnerable communities, and repairing roofs for homeowners who can't do the work themselves.
The needs aren't just material but emotional as well, Diaz added. Voluntary agencies will also "be involved in long-term crisis counseling and in the support of programs that can benefit the disaster-affected children," he said.
Puerto Rico is particularly vulnerable to flooding and hurricanes. The island faced two federally declared flood disasters in 2001, and hurricanes in both 1998 and 1996 also resulted in federal declarations.
Past experience has led to more efficient disaster response and recovery, said Diaz. Voluntary organizations, working with FEMA and Puerto Rican government officials, have more tightly coordinated the functions of voluntary groups, the needs of special populations and donations management. "We have been able to conduct our response and recovery function in a more expeditious manner," said Diaz.
"By expediting processes we accomplish our tasks with economy of time, effort, and enhancing the 'single' point of contact principle," said Diaz. "It is much like the concept of 'One Stop - All Services', where we have the known mission of a voluntary organization together with the donations management and special needs. The contacts for coordination and referrals are basically the same for the three sections, therefore in a single call you can coordinate the collaboration for all response and recovery related actions.
"This concept also strengthened relationships for future operations," he added.

Our parents built with Gemini Homes, 4 years ago. The New Home Consultant explained everything clearly and answered all of our questions. I recommended Gemini Homes to one person already and I believe they have now signed contracts with you. Thanks Gemini for building our new home.
Building with Gemini Homes was great, the communication was a key aspect during the whole process and I believe this was of a high standard.
Gemini Homes Mackay are an absolute pleasure to work with! We built our first home with them & moved in beginning of July 2013. Our budget was quite tight when we approached them with our request for a house & they worked with us to find us something that would suit our budget as well as our future needs. They even had suggestions on where to save costs.
We were even able to do some house layout adjustments to better suit our block. For the actual building of the house, they took exactly how long they said they would, despite delays caused by the development & weather. During the whole process, they kept us informed of the progress & were happy to answer any questions we had. The colour selection process was easy & no amendments were too difficult or too costly. And they worked hard to try to get us into our house a little early due to a family visit, without compromising quality. I would definitely recommend Gemini Homes as a quality & reliable builder in Mackay!
Our experience with Gemini Homes was fantastic, always so friendly and kept us informed. When we had any concerns it was dealt with right away. We were very happy with the finished product, there were a couple of things but they were more than happy to help after we were in. I have already told friends and family to go through Gemini Homes and have never heard a bad comment about them. I would build through Gemini again.
We were completely satisfied with the purchasing experience. The MYHOME 24/7 online service was a good tracking system to have an idea of the home progress and forecast. We were very satisfied with the range of different colour options available. We look forward to our next home opportunity with Gemini Homes.
Overall we are happy with the house built by Gemini Homes. The Colour and Selections Finish were a very high standard from the Consultant.
Building with Gemini Homes was hassle free. It was a smooth building process and any concerns were promptly resolved. The building process was responded to in a timely manner. Thank you Gemini, I would recommend Gemini Homes to anyone looking for a builder.
V. Corino.
All the New Home Consultants and front office staff were always helpful and pleasant to talk to. Thanks Gemini for building a quality home.
All the builders and tradesmen were super helpful. The MYHOME 24/7 online service was great, it was lovely being able to see how our new home was progressing each week. Thanks to Gemini, we have a beautiful and affordable home. Thank you.
Process with Gemini Homes was well explained. All Staff are extremely helpful. Any concerns we had were resolved quickly and professionally.
Thank you.
We found Gemini Homes by their excellent website. We then looked at their Display Homes and found the purchasing experience good. Building with Gemini Homes is such a good experience for us. Our house was built within the timeframe given to us. We are satisfied with the end result and we hope to do business with them again. We would definitely recommend building a new home with Gemini Homes to my friends, relatives, Co-workers.
This is our second home built by Gemini Homes. We are very satisfied given the somewhat trying weather conditions experienced during construction. Overall we found Gemini Homes to be very professional and we are very satisfied and have recommended Gemini Homes to several of our friends as a builder to build their new home.
Once I looked at the quality of Gemini's homes built I was impressed and dealing with the Colour Selections Consultant and Client Administrator was great as they were always happy to answer any questions I had. I would recommend Gemini Homes to anyone, these guys made the building process so easy with no hassles.
Thank you.

How to Start a Business in Australia
New figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS, 2016) show that the number of Australian businesses is increasing, as fewer businesses ceased trading this financial year compared to last year. Australia now has more than 2.1 million business trading, as of 2014-2015.
The following are my brief tips from my or other's experiences in business, here in Australia. The decision to start my first business here in Australia took place in my laundry. This was six years ago and still living in Brisbane at the time. Now, having started 2 businesses, it has been an exciting journey and I have certainly learned more than I ever thought was possible. I have been extremely lucky to have met amazing people who helped me along the way; to you, I say THANK YOU! Let me make a start with the TIPS…
If you are a new immigrant, you should allow yourself adequate time to adjust to and learn about how things work in Australia. Don't rush into starting- or buying a business. You do not know what you do not know. Take time to prepare a business plan, cash flow projection or budget. Make sure you get at least one due diligence done when buying a business.
Research and Knowledge
Empower yourself with as much information as you can lay your hands upon. Check the facts for yourself, do not rely upon what you read on the internet or social media. Australia provides fabulous free opportunities for growth and assistance to small business owners. Contact your local council, university and visit your local library where you will find useful information relating to free initiatives to assist small business owners.
Join local networking groups and attend their gatherings initially, with the intention to learn how things are done. Focus on building relationships with local business people. There are free networking groups, and you do not need to own a business to attend these. Research on Eventbrite, Facebook and Meet Up to find a group that suits your needs.
Ask yourself a few questions:
These are some of the questions one should consider, before starting a business. Which questions would you ask?

2 comedians - and featuring Ice-T - on a crazy adventure to find real prison talent. Think "Last Comic Standing" meets "The Voice" in the world of "Orange is the New Black"
"Inmates with Talent," featuring Ice-T, - a wild talent contest in a prison with over 2,000 inmates. Comedians Johnny Collins and Joel Jerome somehow gain unprecedented access to Indiana's Putnamville Correctional to clown around with the inmates—at times pushing the envelope like Borat —and, in the process, help turn their lives around. The duo organizes a talent contest that not only showcases many of the inmates' hidden talents but also unites the entire prison population. Think "The Voice" meets "Last Comic Standing," behind bars, with the added benefit of a positive societal impact. Comedians Steve Wilson - Comedy Central Live at Gotham and D.L. Hughley Radio Show, and Edwin San Juan – creator and Executive Producer of 'SlantED Comedy' (Showtime), join the cast to mentor the inmates and hit the stage as well. Skinhead inmates and black drug dealers performing comedy on the same stage. Bank robbers turned opera singers crooning with R & B gang leaders… all hoping for a second chance at life. Even if just a small number of convicts are steered away from a return to criminal activity, the film and its related initiatives will have a positive impact on society.

Advice for the "Reality-Based" Community
Recently, the so-called "reality-based community" on the left has developed the theory that US oil companies have purposefully dropped gasoline prices from over $3.00 to $2.00 a gallon solely to help Republican re-election prospects in November. This notion is so insane as to be, well, insane, and I am not even going to bother fisking it any more than I would bother refuting a flat-earth hypothesis. OK, I can't resist, here are two quick arguments, by no means comprehensive.
- US oil companies control a minority of world oil supplies, and those folks who do dominate the market (Hugo Chavez, Iran, the Saudis, the Russians) are highly unlikely to be cutting Bush much slack.
- The implication is that either the old, high price or the current low price is somehow an unnatural contrivance. If the higher price was a contrivance, ie above the normal market clearing price due to some collusion, then we would have been swimming in oil as supplies outstripped demand, and inventories would be overflowing. If the current lower prices are a contrivance, then demand should outstrip supply and we should have lines at every gas station. Of course, neither situation has been observed.
So here is this week's message for the Left: Economics is a science. Willful ignorance or emotional rejection of the well-known precepts of this science is at least as bad as a fundamentalist Christian's willful ignorance of evolution science (for which the Left so often criticizes their opposition). In fact, economic ignorance is much worse, since most people can come to perfectly valid conclusions about most public policy issues with a flawed knowledge of the origin of the species but no one can with a flawed understanding of economics.
Postscript: In fact, the more I think about it, the more economics and evolution are very similar. Both are sciences that are trying to describe the operation of very complex, bottom-up, self-organizing systems. And, in both cases, there exist many people who refuse to believe such complex and beautiful systems can really operate without top-down control.
For example, certain people refuse to accept that homo sapiens could have been created through unguided evolutionary systems, and insist that some controlling authority must guide the process; we call these folks advocates of Intelligent Design. Similarly, there are folks who refuse to believe that unguided bottom-up processes can create something so complex as our industrial economy or even a clearing price for gasoline, and insist that a top-down authority is needed to run the process; we call these folks socialists.
It is interesting, then, given their similarity, that socialists and intelligent design advocates tend to be on opposite sides of the political spectrum. Their rejection of bottom-up order in favor of top-down control is nearly identical.
Update:Â From Cafe Hayek, letter to the Washington Post
Dear Editor:
that today's falling gasoline prices result from a fiendish plot to
keep the GOP in power, Kenneth Jones is certain that "gasoline prices
will go right back up to $2.75-plus after the [November] election"
(Letters, October 2).
If Mr. Jones is correct, he can make a
financial killing. All he need do is to invest all of his assets going
long in gasoline futures (which are today about 30 percent lower than
they were in late July). Indeed, he ought even to cash out all the
equity in his house, max out on his credit cards, and borrow heavily
from his brother-in-law so that he can invest as much as possible in
these futures.
He can then contribute his post-election financial bounty to the Democratic National Committee.

LOS ANGELES — Before it's even been officially released, TV reality star "Teen Mom" Farrah Abraham's sex tape has paid off to the tune of nearly $120,000 in royalties in less than two months.
TMZ has obtained a copy of the Vivid Entertainment check issued to the star dated July 17 in the amount of $119,576.39.
Abraham, 22, made the tape, "Farrah Superstar: Backdoor Teen Mom" with crossover porn star James Deen and sold it to Vivid. In a recent online video the newbie porn star revealed her rationale for making and selling the tape.
She said she made the video to get out from under persistent loneliness, despite accusations that she did it for money or celebrity.
Vivid acquired the rights to the tape after it came to light in April.
The movie is set to premiere on VividTV's newly launched 24/7 linear TV channel and VividTV OnDemand on May 6, that could be seen by more than 52 million households.
Abraham's bank account also includes money from a reported six-figure up-front deal made with Vivid.
According to the New York Daily News, Abraham plans to use the money from the sex tape to complete a master's degree and pursue culinary business endeavors.

Malmberget iron ore mine

Report summary
The underground Malmberget mine is one of the most geographically north iron ore mines on the planet. Located in the Swedish province of Lapland, it is wholly owned by the Swedish state owned mining firm, LKAB. It produces a total of 8Mtpa consisting of iron ore pellets and fines. LKAB has had to implement an "urban transformation plan" to relocate the local community as part of continuing operations at Malmberget.

Russell Westbrook takes pride in his unique style. Sometimes, that style includes pulling an iguana on a leash.
Jordan Brand unveiled the Thunder star's second signature off-court shoe design, the Westbrook 0.2, Friday. The sneaker officially launches to the public Saturday, iguana not included.
"The design team and I took global inspiration for the shoe and wanted to create a style that could be worn by kids and adults," Westbrook says. "For the Westbrook 0.2, I wanted a higher silhouette with a raw design that you could pair with different materials and textures on the shoe."
For the time being, Westbrook has a lifestyle shoe line, not a basketball sneaker line, with Jordan Brand. Westbrook released his first Jordan shoe, the Westbrook 0, in summer 2015. The point guard has also collaborated with the brand on shirts, sweatshirts and pants.
The Westbrook 0.2 includes both leather and suede, featuring an Air Jordan VI-inspired upper and Air Jordan I KO tooling. Westbrook's signature logo is on the outer tongue, with his catchphrase, "Why Not?" on the inside. Jordan Brand is teasing three Westbrook 0.2 colorways in black/camouflage, white and black/red. The black/camo is available Saturday.
"Fashion is a passion I'll continue pursuing once I'm done playing," Westbrook says. "It's a great honor to work with the brand again on creating my second signature design."
Westbrook also has partnerships with True Religion, PepsiCo, Kings And Jaxs and Barneys. He has his own independent sunglasses line called Westbrook Frames.
