Samsung's Chef Collection fridge is gorgeous, but costs an arm and a leg
Tons of space, unparalleled features, and a pricetag to match.
About the Samsung RF24J9960S4
This is the counter depth version of the full-sized Chef Collection four-door. Smaller size doesn't mean smaller price, though: With an MSRP of $5,999 and retail prices of about $4,999, it's actually the same price as the full-sized SodaStream model, and almost $300 more expensive than the base model.
About the Samsung RF34H9950S4
The basic Chef Collection four-door fridge, complete with everything except the SodaStream dispenser. It has an MSRP of $5,699, and retails for about $4,720.
About the Samsung RF34H9960S4
This souped-up fridge is the same as the basic 9950, but includes a special SodaStream sparkling water dispenser. That extra perk results in a $5,999 MSRP and retail prices of about $4,999—almost $300 more than the basic model.
Somewhere between an ordinary, affordable fridge and a luxury, built-in model lies the Samsung Chef Collection refrigerator.
Designed to match with Samsung's high-end Chef Collection kitchen package, customers have three different feature-packed styles to choose from: a counter depth option, a massive 34-cu.-ft. model, and a 34-cu.-ft. version that dispenses sparkling water courtesy of a partnership with SodaStream.
Chef Collection fridges all get a unique exterior display, and offer a convertible freezer zone and Metal Cooling panels. Think of them as giant Swiss Army fridges.
Perks aside, our tests place performance above all else. When it comes to what a fridge is supposed to do—store and preserve food—Chef Collection models are above average. But unless you're looking for accessible luxury, it's hard to justify a sky-high price tag—especially against the similar (and more affordable) Samsung RF32FMQDBSR.
Convertible Fridge/Freezer
The coolest thing about the Chef Collection is what other four-door Samsung fridges offer: The right side of the freezer compartment can turn into a fridge at the push of a button.
A series of drawers and shallow door shelves accommodate most frozen items, even large and bulky objects. It takes a few hours for the temperature to settle, but it's a good way to store food for parties in a pinch.
Otherwise, Samsung's new Star Display sets this fridge apart: When the fridge isn't in use, the hidden LED display is practically invisible. Every time you open a door or use the dispenser, however, blue LED lights glow, showing the current temperature settings for each compartment.
Inside the fridge compartment, shelves and drawers are trimmed with stainless accents. Blue plastic matches the cool LED lighting, and we think the whole getup looks quite futuristic.
On the back, you'll notice a stainless steel panel that Samsung calls Metal Cooling. The company says it helps the fridge cool more efficiently and evenly, although our tests have shown mixed results.
One perk that only the Chef Collection offers is the inclusion of chef pans. They're designed to be a sort of one-stop cooking tool. You can place meat, vegetables, and a marinade directly into the pan without the risk of dripping onto other food. When you're ready to cook, just slide the pan directly into the oven. They're even dishwasher-safe for easy clean up.
In addition to rear-mounted adjustable shelves, the door-mounted Chef Basket flips forward for better organization. On the right, adjustable wire bars can be flipped up or down to make room for large items or to hold smaller ones in place.
Performance & Features
In our performance tests, the freezer got incredibly cold—as low as -6°F. That means any shift up or down by a few degrees won't risk freezer burn. Fridge temperatures got as warm as 40°F, but never stayed above 42ºF—the "danger zone" for food spoilage.
The ice maker is mounted inside the main fridge compartment, but it's got a slim design that takes up only minimal fridge space. Even with the ice maker running, this massive fridge is still surprisingly efficient. You also get traditional fridge functions, such as a Power Cool and Power Freeze, as well as an energy saver option and control lock.
For in-depth performance information, please visit the Science Page.
Why We Like It
Will a Chef Collection fridge keep your food cold? Of course it will. Will it look great in your kitchen? Absolutely. But with the best sale prices hovering just around $4,720, you'll pay for the privilege.
Yes, it's less expensive than a built-in model, but you'll have to decide whether perks like chef pans and convertible compartments make this high-end Samsung a better value than other traditional French door models on the market.

BLOG: Obama's Internet Bill Of Rights Will Be Hard to Enforce: Here's Why
The real question about the new Internet "Bill of Rights" from the White House is how exactly will these rights be enforced and interpreted?
The President's effort is commendable and timely. Google and Apple privacy ethics have been making waves recently, most notably Apple apps uploading user's address books and Google sneaking tracking software in Apple's Safari browser, both without consent.
This week's announcement is a crucial part of a larger, 62-page document on consumer privacy rights. As PC World's John P. Mello Jr. noted, Google, Microsoft and Yahoo deferred to the bill and agreed to respect consumers when they don't want to be tracked online. Apple also complied, despite contrary reports.
We highlighted a few of the major rights earlier today. Let's take a closer look:
Consumers have a right to expect that companies will collect, use, and disclose personal data in ways that are consistent with the context in which consumers provide the data.
This right runs counter against Google's upcoming privacy shift. Next month, the tech giant plans to aggregate your information from Google's 60-plus apps and services to better understand your habits. It is taking data from one context and applying it to another context. The bill of rights seems to be saying that the collection and uses of the data should be clear cut. Google is already telling its users about the privacy change, but within the context of this new bill, it's unclear if that's enough.
Consumers have a right to reasonable limits on the personal data that companies collect and retain.
The key term here is "reasonable", as in reasonable is a relative term. The White House is talking with companies, privacy advocates, and other stakeholders to define what is reasonable. The bill will mean nothing without follow through.
Consumers have the right to exercise control over what personal data companies collect from them and how they use it.
Apple, Google, and others have already jumped on the bandwagon with the so-called "Do Not Track" web-browsing option. That's half the battle.
Tricky Regulation
The trickier part of this right is regulating how companies use the data. Forget focusing on Apple: The superstore Target can use consumer data and patterns to determine when a customer is expecting a baby.
Grocery store loyalty cards and other tracking systems are well embedded now, and companies are used to using that information, however subtly, to better understand their consumer and increase sales.
There's no clear way for the government to cut companies from their precious data mines since, aside from very public examples like the Target pregnancy pattern, determining what companies are actually doing with the data requires inside access.

American Spirit Aviation Festival a big success
The annual American Spirit Aviation Festival was held Saturday at the St. Marys Municipal Airport with a large crowd on hand throughout the day.
Al McPherson, airport manager, said he did a lot of research on just planning the date for the show.
"Statistically, this is the best weather day of the year," he said.
McPherson is also a crew chief for the Elk Flyers who provided one of the three aircraft flying customers for the show.
A group displaying other aerial skills were several hang gliders run by Eric Kriner, whose dad ran their custom-built winch to get the gliders off the ground.
An all-day affair was the Elk County Cruiser's eighth annual car show which expected to have 165 show cars come in but managed just three more at 168.

Thoughts on technology and innovation
Jeff Golembiewski, Director - Product Management
An association's AMS (association management system) is the organization's core. It is the central repository for all interaction between the association and their constituents (members, non-members, donors, prospects, etc.). That interaction could be something small, like a member updated his/her account online with new or missing demographic data, or it could be much larger, like a $50,000 sponsorship agreement. So we can all agree, that our AMS has some really great data in it for us.
So how do we get that information in a timely fashion? Traditionally, an AMS would require reports. Not just one, but many reports. And these reports would require the association's staff to pull those reports. Timely would not be a word I would use to describe this process. But that was the traditional approach. On regular intervals, staff would generate reports on these key elements.
Nimble AMS and Salesforce.com is turning that "pull" data concept on its head. In the age of Facebook and Twitter where you are alerted throughout the day of key facts, snippets of information, and posts of what people are doing, why can't your association's interactions and data be treated the same way? Wouldn't you like to be alerted just like a Facebook post or a Twitter feed about what is happening at your association? You can!
Chatter is a feature in Nimble AMS and Salesforce.com that encourages a collaboration at work. It is essentially your association's own private social network. Can you imagine it, a social network for your staff built directly in your AMS? Wow!
Through our implementations of Nimble AMS, we have found that Chatter transforms how an association works.
Chatter features include:
Using Chatter through Nimble AMS, you and your staff can now stay more connected to the heart beat of the association.
Can your AMS do that?

"One Lord, one faith, one baptism," Ephesians 4:5
What is Baptism?
As a church we stand on the Word of God. Baptism always follows belief. Once a person has decided to follow Jesus Christ, Jesus commands us to be water baptized. It is a public declaration of a change that has happened in the heart.
In Matthew 3:13-17 we see Jesus, humbling Himself in baptism at the hands of John the Baptist. This was the beginning of His earthly ministry. And then in Acts 8 we see Simon, a magician in Samaraia, who was quickly baptized after his confessed belief in Jesus Christ.

ARE YOU READY FOR GDPR?GDPR, the new data protection regulation, comes into force on 25th May 2018. Find out what it means for care homes and how care home software can help you to become compliant.
In March 2018 we presented 'How GDPR Affects Care providers' webinar. Enter your details to see the webinar recording and slides.
More information is below the form
Listen to our podcast to find out how GDPR will affect Care Providers
Person Centred Software Presents GDPR for Care Providers
Read our whitepaper to find out what we're doing to prepare for GDPR and how we can help you. Sign up below!
You may have heard our product manager, Andrew Coles, speaking at the Care Show Birmingham 2017. If not, here's our view of GDPR and how Care Homes can prepare
Hang on, what is GDPR?
GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation. It is EU legislation that replaces the Data Protection Act on 25th May 2018. It introduces new rights and responsibilities and will protect people's sensitive and personal data that is held by third parties by making data processors continually accountable for the data they hold. It also introduces accountability and tougher penalties for data breaches. GDPR is not designed to prevent sharing of data.
What will change with GDPR?
Rights of Individuals
Under GDPR, individuals will have increased rights, including the following:
The right to be informed – you must let people know why you are processing the data, and provide a privacy notice to inform people and transparency over how you use personal data.
The right of access – you must give confirmation that their data is being processed and give access to their personal information.
The right of rectification – you must allow people's information to be amended if information is inaccurate or incomplete.
The right to erasure – the right to erasure is also known as 'the right to be forgotten'. This right is to enable an individual to request the deletion or removal of personal data where there is no compelling reason for its continued processing.
Article 5(2) requires that "the controller shall be responsible for, and be able to demonstrate, compliance with the principles."
The data you process must be:
- Obtained lawfully, fairly and transparent
- For a specified and legitimate purpose
- Adequate, relevant and necessary in line with stated purpose
- Processed and kept securely in an appropriate way for the type of data being held
- Accurate and up-to-date, only kept for as long as necessary
Data Controllers and Data Processors can both be held accountable so you'll need to:
- Follow comprehensive but proportionate governance measures
- Make use of good practice tools outlined by Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), such as privacy impact assessments
- Minimise the risk of breaches
What is a personal data breach?
ICO defines a breach as "A personal data breach means a breach of security leading to the destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data. This means that a breach is more than just losing personal data"
- Notification within 72 hours to supervisory authority
- Must notify if breach is likely to have significant detrimental effect on individuals
- Notify nature of breach, impact & actions taken to deal with the breach any measures taken to mitigate adverse effects
Potential impact of getting it wrong
- Non-compliance, potential fines of up to €10m or 2% of turnover
- Failure to report a data breach can attract fines up to €20m or 4% of turnover!
- Loss of business
- Impact on your reputation
- Safety and wellbeing of the people you support
Causes of data breaches?
Common source of risk of data breach:
- Keeping data inappropriately (too long, too much, irrelevant and unnecessary)
- Disclosure to 3rd parties that individuals do not want it to be disclosed to
- Where data is used in ways that are unacceptable to or unexpected by the person it is about
- Data stored inadequately
Does GDPR apply to Care Providers?
Yes, it applies to anyone that processes personally identifiable data about ANY individual
- Care providers in particular will have sensitive data in care plans
- It applies to all forms of data. Paper contains data too!
- GDPR still applies even though we are leaving the EU
- Data protection isn't a new thing, and the financial impact alone under GDPR is tougher!
- Whitehead Nursing Home, County Antrim, was fined £15,000 after an unencrypted laptop was taken from the home of a staff membe
What data might you be processing?
What does 'processing' data mean?
- Storing, typing and reading is processing!
Types of personal data held by providers
- Medical information
- Mental Health
- Personal preferences
- Sexuality
- Financial information
- Contact details
Who you might hold data on
- Prospects, Clients, Service User, Staff and Contacts
- Assess the impact of the data being held
- Sensitivity
- Safety
- Fraud
- Reputation
Where might your data sources be?
Paper filing systems
Providers will need to be compliant with GDPR as any manual records containing personal data applying to staff or service users are included within GDPR. This means filing systems and paper care plans are affected, as are daily records and charts kept in a folder.
Back up to USB drive and tape
Due to the new accountability requirement, older computer systems backups and replication to USB drive or tape will not be compliant with GDPR as they contain just as much personal data and are subject to the same regulations.
Printing from a computer system
Printing a care plan from a computer system means there are both 'manual' and 'automated' copies and, under the new regulation, both need documentation to show how they are processed.
Evidencing how data is managed
This brings us to the change with GDPR from the Data Protection Act. You will have to not just be compliant but be able to evidence how compliance is achieved.
To be compliant with GDPR it is necessary to have a reason for holding personal data, and that reason must be documented. If your organisation is fully compliant with the Data Protection Act, then the first step would be to document how data is managed.
Understand and document your data for GDPR
You must maintain internal records of processing activities:
- Purposes of the processing
- Description of the categories of individuals
- Categories of personal data
- Details of transfers to third countries including documentation of the transfer mechanism safeguards in place
- Retention schedules
- Description of technical and organisational security measures
Data Fluidity – Where is your data going?
The volume and types of data being sent around the world is every increasing:
- How is it required?
- Who can access it?
- Where is it stored?
- How many copies are there?
Privacy Impact Assessment
- Identify where a PIA is required
- Describe the information
- How is the data stored, how it flows, other 3rd party disclosure
- Identify the risks to Individual & to the organisation
- Cost benefit of solution(s)
- Organisation sign off
- PIA as part of culture and project plans
So, why are people choosing to go digital?
Digital care records and evidence of care
- Enables better care
- Better analytics
- More informative
- Gives care providers transparency, visibility & control
- Involvement of relatives with Relatives Gateway
- Responsive
- More data, better data, more evidence
- Enables better care
The right software solution is safer than paper and will enable you to comply with GDPR
Weren't we safer with paper?
- Paper is not secure and can also lead to data breaches, but it is also…
- Costly to track who has copies
- Time to find what you are looking for
- Ineffective
- Multiple copies can be dangerous
- Provides less value than digital
- Cumbersome archives
- Easily lost
- Unprotected
What should you do to prepare?
Document what data you are holding on whom and why
- Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA)
- Escalation and notification policy
- Define your company's Privacy Policy
Identify any risks of breeches and how to reduce them
Educate and train staff on data protection and handling
Define your Digital Strategy and review it regularly
- Ask questions of your software provider (or prospective partner)
- Where is your data?
- How is it managed?
- How is it protected?
- But, don't forget to include any paper 'systems'!
If you haven't started already…start now!
- Review and document the data you hold
- Understand why you need it and any legal grounds for holding it
- Complete Privacy Impact Assessments
- Raise awareness of GDPR in your organisation
- Review systems and processes to reduce risk of data breaches
- Appoint responsible person for data protection
- Do some research
Where to get help?
- The ICO
- Other local businesses
- Software vendors
- Your DPO (Data Protection Officer)
- Internal working party
- Independent GDPR consultants
- Legal advice
- Business Insurance
What we're doing to help Care Providers
There is a shortcut to becoming compliant with GDPR.
You will still be responsible for ensuring compliance, but if your data is managed by a third party, and the data processing is managed by the third party, you can ask the third party to document how they manage GDPR compliance.
Mobile Care Monitoring is care home software that meets the data processing requirements of GDPR. Our customers use a fully hosted (cloud) system and we provide documentation on how our infrastructure meets GDPR regulations.

Tunbridge Wells Schools' GCSE grades soar
Many schools in Tunbridge Wells bucked the national trend and reported improvements in their GCSE results
Across the nation there was the biggest ever year-on-year decline in GCSE exam passes, with those receiving A* to Cs dropping from 69 per cent to 66 per cent.
But schools in Tunbridge Wells told a different story, with the likes of Kent College getting its highest number of A* grades.
Here, the top grade was achieved in 27 per cent of exams, a seven per cent rise from last year. Fifty-seven per cent of the grades were an A* or A, with some girls achieving the top results in all of their 11 subjects. Additionally, every girl studying Latin achieved an A* or A.
Abigail Evans, who joined Kent College when she was three years old, scored 11 A*s and one A. Beth Peachey followed up a second place in the GCSE Young Fashion Designer of the Year competition with eight A*s and three As.
Champion swimmer Annabel Guye-Johnson scooped five A*s, five As and one B. While aspiring vet Marie Srotyr, 16, scooped seven A*s, three As and one B.
At Skinners' Kent Academy there was a three-fold rise in students getting three or more A* and As, with 71 per cent achieving an A*-C in mathematics and 66 per cent in English.
Aaron Lennon, Headmaster of Beechwood Sacred Heart, said students 'achieved significantly higher numbers of A and A* grades', with a tally of 38.4 per cent.
At St Gregory's Catholic School, scores were more than a third of a grade higher than predicted in all of their subjects. Top performers included Scarlet McCarthy, nine A*s and two As; Natalia Chlebowska, two A*s and eight As; Clarissa Mondeh, two A*s, eight As and one B; and Gaia Neiman, one A*, seven As and three Bs.
Jamie Bingham was a top performer at Tunbridge Wells Grammar School for Boys, achieving a perfect set of 11 A*s. Overall, 98 per cent of the boys achieved five or more A*-Cs, including English and mathematics.
All 139 girls who sat their GCSEs at Tunbridge Wells Girls' Grammar School scored five A*-C grades. The rate of A*-A grades was 78.8 per cent – up on last year – with 41.6 per cent of these A*s.
Team GB sailor Molly Sacker, 16, achieved five A*s, four As and one B, despite doing much of her studying abroad while representing the country in under-18s dinghy sailing, in which she sails alone. She hopes to appear in the Olympics in the future.
At Benenden School, 81 per cent of all grades were at A* or A – up from 78 per cent last year. A*-B grades were also up to 96 per cent from 94 per cent. Eighteen girls gained at least nine A*s, including Stephanie Jat's incredible haul of 13 A*s. Another student achieved 12 A*s and four others 11 A*s. Overall, 50 per cent were graded
at A*.
Bennett Memorial had a rate of 85 per cent of its students with five or more A* to Cs. More than 50 students achieved five or more A to A*s.
Eight out of ten secured A* to C grades in both English and mathematics. Overall, more than half of the grades awarded to the large cohort of 227 students were A*s, As and Bs, with a quarter of all entries awarded A* or A grades.
Pupils at Bethany School in Goudhurst made excellent progress, according to Francie Healey, the Headmaster, who said: "Our pupils have achieved excellent outcomes which, as ever, are considerably above the national average."
More than half of the grades achieved by Year 11s at Cranbrook School were As and above.And the proportion of grades at A* to C remained consistent with previous years, at just less than 98 per cent.
Students at The Skinners' School celebrated excellent results with 97.8 per cent of the 118 pupils being graded A*-C. Overall, 28.8 per cent of grades were A* and 65.1 per cent were A* or A.

The leader of the OPPOSITION BLOC commented an explosion in the center of Kiev on the TV channel "112 Ukraine".
He noted that this is not the first emergency incident in the center of the capital.
"All began with the terrorist attack on August 31, 2015, when during a rally under the walls of the Verkhovna Rada in the ranks of the National Guard a grenade was thrown, killing four national guards.
The suspect in this crime was not punished. Then there were murders of journalists Oles Buzina, Pavlo Sheremet and others," the MP said.
"Such terrible tragedies become the norm of life and people feel unprotected when they see such things. And when there is no corresponding reaction and investigation. All this, unfortunately, speaks of one bitter symptom of the deep illness of the law enforcement system and the complete absence of the inevitability of punishment," Yuriy Boyko emphasized.
According to him, it is inappropriate to give political comments here.
"Now we need the police to work. The most important thing is that those who did this, to suffer a well-deserved punishment. Now it is inappropriate to give political comments," Yuriy Boyko considers.

There is no cost for this webinar but you must register in advance; the link to registration is: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/2217870369902893825.
"2017 NYS STOP-DWI Halloween Enforcement Crackdown - Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over": The NYS STOP-DWI Halloween Enforcement Crackdown period will take place October 27 – November 1, 2017 and needs your participation to be a success.

One of the deadliest and most often committed - yet preventable - of crimes (drunk driving), has become a serious safety epidemic in our country. As law enforcement professionals and highway safety advocates, your efforts will help reduce the number of drunk drivers on the roads and save lives. By increasing State enforcement efforts, raising public awareness through paid, earned, and social media, and maximizing your local resources, you can make a marked difference. So please join the thousands of law enforcement officers, state and local traffic safety advocates, and STOP-DWI New York in this year's Halloween impaired driving enforcement campaign. Additional resource materials are also available on the Traffic Programs Page of the NYSACOP website at www.nychiefs.org, and the STOP-DWI New York homepage at www.stopdwi.org.
"STOP-DWI NEW YORK Mobile App – Have A Plan": The Governor's Traffic Safety Committee and representatives from the New York STOP-DWI Foundation wish to remind all our partners of the release of its free "Have A Plan" mobile application. The app encourages people to have a plan to get home safely if they are impaired by alcohol or drugs. We encourage and look to our law enforcement agencies to promote and market this free program in your communities. To download the app, simply visit www.stopdwi.org/mobileapp .

Blush & Bordeaux is a source of inspiration, motivation and aspiration that covers everything from fashion and beauty, to living and travel. I hope to encourage women world-wide to reach their fullest potential, whether it's mastering a tricky cats-eye liner, nailing this season's trend or surprising your nearest and dearest with a top-notch 3 course meal!
My Story
I started Blush & Bordeaux back in 2013 as an outlet for my creative side (and especially to live out my fashion dreams!). At the time I'd been playing live music with my band and was constantly getting asked where my onstage outfits were from so I thought this would be an easy way for people to find out! I honestly wasn't quite sure what this blog would lead to but, bit by bit, other facets of my life entered the B&B post schedule. I had always loved cooking so posting recipes was an easy section to add and when I surprised myself with how beautiful my photographs of our annual family holiday to Thailand turned out (thank you Sony NEX-6!), a travel category was born.
But what started as a place for me to just corral my various loves, be it cooking, high heels or red lipsticks, B&B quickly turned into something else. I suddenly realised I not only wanted to post pictures, I wanted to inspire my readers. I wanted to reach out to other women in the world just like me – professional, working women – who wanted to be able to do more in their lives. Curate their closets and outfits with more imagination, re-work trends to fit real life (and real women's figures!), cook up a storm more often with healthy and delicious recipes, boost their beauty game, find time in their day for improving health and wellness, and travel more! All of these things can most definitely be done – even if you're working full time, like I am – I'll show you how, right here on Blush & Bordeaux!
If you're still curious, I've put together a little FAQ for you all! Feel free to send me an email with any other questions you might have at any time at firstname.lastname@example.com
Who Am I & Where Do I Live:
I'm Lucy & I'm living in Sydney, Australia.
What Was The Inspiration For Starting My Blog:
I wanted to share my fashion finds with people – especially since I was being asked at my band's shows where I bought my boots! Being the only girl in the group, meant I took a lot of pride in selecting what I would wear for each performance both onstage and off. You can find my music here if you're interested. I no longer play in a band, but I'm still recording!
How Did I Come Up With The Name 'Blush & Bordeaux':
That was a tricky one. I wanted a name that meant a lot of different things to me and to others. I feel the word 'Blush' can mean the makeup (obvs!), the colour and an emotion whilst 'Bordeaux' can refer to the location in France, the wine and brings to mind cooking & socialising with friends. So those two words to me encapsulate everything that this blog is about: fashion, beauty, food, travel and all things lifestyle.
What Do I Do When I'm Not Blogging:
I consider myself a super creative person. I do have a day job, working at Jaxsta, an amazing music tech start-up company that takes up so much of my time (which I'm totally happy about!). I'm a songwriter in my spare time and I'm hoping to release my first album soon, so watch this space for more information. You can find out more about my music, as well as listen to my songs here. I also love to write and have written a couple of young adult novels, you can find them here. I'm currently working on another creative project that you'll hear about soon!
What Did I Study:
I went to JMC Academy, a private college in Sydney that specialises in music, and did a Bachelor of Music: Contemporary Music and Performance, followed by a Diploma of Entertainment Business Management.
Who Takes My Photos & What Type of Camera Do I Use:
I'm totally okay to admit that my mum usually takes my outfit photos! She has a pretty great eye for catching the light and framing the picture. All other photos are taken by me. We use a Sony NEX-6 with a 1.8 f-stop lens.
How Tall Am I:
Flats or Heels:
I'm 5'3. Nine times out of ten, it's heels.
What Inspires Me:
I'm constantly getting inspired. I follow a lot of other inspiring blogs and photographs of fashion icons past and present are also a huge inspiration. My style has definitely changed over the years but I'm always on the lookout for a new great pair of heels! I also love to keep up to date with the latest trends but I'm more interested in making them work for my body and my existing wardrobe rather than just buying into them on impulse. I believe in quality over quantity and whenever I have a specific purchase in mind, I try on almost every iteration until I find the one that's right for me – this works especially well for heels and jeans, let me tell you!
Do I Offer Advertising & Sponsorship Packages:
Sure do! Shoot me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com and I can happily send you my media kit. Unfortunately I can't respond to emails of a super personal nature or I'd be at it all day!
Enjoy! While you're at it, why not follow me on Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram too? To stay up to date with my blog, subscribe just by popping your email into the box on the right sidebar.

Fish is a high-protein, low-fat food that provides a range of health benefits. White-fleshed fish, in particular, is lower in fat than any other source of animal protein, and oily fish are high in omega-3 fatty acids, or the "good" fats. Since the human body can't make significant amounts of these essential nutrients, fish is an important part of our diet. Also, fish is low in the "bad" fats commonly found in red meat, called omega-6 fatty acids. A growing body of evidence indicates that omega-3 fatty acids provide a number of health benefits. They:
- help maintain cardiovascular health by playing a role in the regulation of blood clotting and vessel constriction;
- are important for prenatal and postnatal neurological development;
- may reduce tissue inflammation and alleviate the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis;
- may play a beneficial role in cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat), reducing depression and halting mental decline in older people.
The omega-3s found in fish (EPA and DHA) appear to provide the greatest health benefits. Fish that are high in omega-3s, low in environmental contaminants and eco-friendly include:
- wild salmon from Alaska (fresh, frozen and canned),
- Arctic char,
- Atlantic mackerel,
- sardines,
- sablefish,
- anchovies
- farmed rainbow trout and
- albacore tuna from the U.S. and Canada.
Activities that lengthen and stretch muscles can help you prevent injuries, back pain, and balance problems.
A well-stretched muscle more easily achieves its full range of motion. This improves athletic performance — imagine an easier, less restricted golf swing or tennis serve — and functional abilities, such as reaching, bending, or stooping during daily tasks. Stretching can also be a great way to get you moving in the morning or a way to relax after a long day. Activities such as yoga combine stretching and relaxation and also improve balance, a wonderful combination.
However, note that experts no longer recommend stretching before exercise. Newer recommendations suggest that you start your workout routine with a warm-up, such as an easy walk or a sport-specific routine, such as serving some tennis balls and practicing ground strokes before a match. This gets blood and oxygen flowing to your muscles. After five to 10 minutes of warm-up, your muscles are warm and supple. This is a good time to stretch. You can even do your flexibility exercises as a post-workout cool-down.

Big-sister Britney is one of her biggest fans, so it's only fitting that Jamie Lynn Spears would pay tribute to her famous sibling through song.
The burgeoning country star was performing her single, "Ms. Mississippi," while on tour in Georgia last week, when she surprised the audience by transitioning into her sister's 2000 smash hit "Oops…I Did It Again."

The crowd exploded into cheers upon hearing the mix, which Jamie Lynn sang with impressive vocals that evoked the queen of pop's signature twang.
"You gotta give it back to your sister at some point right?" Jamie said at the end of her performance. "Big round of applause for my sister!"

Love truly is one of the most fascinating and wondrous experiences of our human existence. I believe we are here on this planet to learn what real love is all about. We are constantly seeking out love because it helps us rise to a higher level of self. And although there are all kinds of feelings we describe as love I believe we probably incarnate as humans just so we can FEEL the bittersweet bliss of real romantic love. But how do we attract real romantic love into our lives, how do we attract the soul mate we seek in this lifetime? Surprisingly enough it doesn't require a lot of work. You don't have to go on online dating sites or seek out social situations to find someone to love you. It's not about that because we first have to believe that love is there for us and that we are worthy and deserve to be loved.
You must remember to have a bit of faith. Know your lover is coming into your life soon. Believe it and see it and then let it go. Stop looking for him/her to come. Instead focus on these 10 ways to attract love into your life.
- Laugh and laugh often. Raise your vibration with laughter. Watch funny movies, or hang out with friends who make you laugh. When you are joyful, love has a funny way of showing up. Everyone wants to be with the "happy" person at the party. So you attract others into your life when you are joyful, laughing or just generally happy with your life over all. Laughter truly is the best medicine.
- Learn to accept people for who they are. They won't change, you can't change them so accept them. The more patience you have with others who may not fit your standard the happier you'll be. This also raises you to a higher vibration because with acceptance comes unconditional love. And you may not love these people romantically, but you'll love them more fully when you accept them.
- Learn to accept love. You can do this by loving yourself first. and loving yourself enough not to take crumbs of affection from anyone. If a person is not that into you, then let them go and move on. Loving yourself is the first step in being open to accept real love, because then someone who matches your spirit and sees you for who you really are will be attracted to you. Also when you love yourself you send a signal out that you are quite ready to accept real love from someone who will respect you and adore you.
- Learn to be happy for others. The whole idea of attracting love is putting love out there. Being happy for someone one else's happiness not only uplifts you as an individual it sends out the vibration of good will. That comes back to you in the form of love as well and attracts more love into your life. You can truly experience love and joy when you learn to make their happiness and well being a priority, then you can't go wrong.
- Learn to believe in yourself and believe you are worth it. Sometimes we make the mistake of accepting the love we think we deserve. Some of us "settle" for the first one who asks, or just settles for someone because you feel that's the best you can do or that NO one will ever want to love you in the way you would want. Love yourself enough NOT to settle, don't fall into the traps of peer or family pressures, stick to your guns and believe and know the right person is coming into your life.
- Learn to look at the beauty in others: The true beauty of a person is their imperfection not their perfect points. When you can look at someone and appreciate them for who they are it makes your life so much more fulfilling. This includes friends and family members, those people who annoy you most are there for a reason. To bring you to a higher level of understanding and to learn to love them warts and all. They bring you to a higher level of wisdom and tolerance and when you have these qualities others begin to take notice. Always strive to find the good in people, finding faults is a waste of time and energy.
- Learn to have fun and be weird. Life is weird. Weird things happen, some are funny, some are sad, but the whole point is the journey. Have fun in this journey of life, learn to be adventurous and take a few risks. Dance like no one is watching. Enjoy the beat of your own tune. Explore social activities you've never done before, like ice skating or ball room dance lessons. Be crazy and enjoy your life. Everyone is attracted to the one who is in love with life weirdness and all.
- Be generous and never be afraid to express your love often. Be generous with your time when it comes to friends or family or potential partners. Tell your parents or kids you love them and do it often. Spend time with an aging parent or grandparent or someone else's grandparent. Hug and hug often. Kiss the ones you love and who love you. Kissing is good in every form. Don't take people you love for granted, remember to say I love you.
- Learn to avoid too much drama. When it comes to partners, families or friends, it's okay to walk away and not be "right." Sometimes people will bring you their problems or put you in the middle of things. It's best to bow out. Know when it's not your place to "fix" anything and walk away. You don't have to be "right" allow your friends or loved ones to vent and just listen. Avoid drama keeps you at a higher frame of mind and open to attracting love into your life, simply because you feel good about walking away.
- Learn to let go. Letting go of the past can be such a relief! It's like dropping the chains that bind you and looking at things in a whole new light. The fabulous Dr. Seuss once said: "don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened!" It's so true because you can now look back, see what you learned from it all and gained in wisdom. To attract real love into your life, learn to let go of the past, embrace the change. Whether you've decided to break up with someone or someone has broken up with you, make up your mind to accept what happened. Forgive yourself and love the person you've become because of the experience.

Our class teachers for the 2017-18 academic year are Mrs Lyndsey Martin and Mrs Jayne Marshall.
Our Higher Level Teaching Assistant is Mrs Angela Wilkinson.
Our class mission statement will be completed by the children on their return in September, and will incorporate our 'Golden Promises' and 'Learning Line'. We have chosen the theme of 'Treasure Island' as it ties in well with our first topic and our class book.
Our First Half Term: Autumn 2017
As the children start the year we will be focusing on securing strategies that will enable them to channel their learning and become more independent in preparation for the challenges of Y6 and be ready for secondary school.
We will be incorporating all areas of the curriculum into our topic work and using our English focus, which for our first half term will be the literacy classic ' Kensuke's Kingdom' by –Michael Morpurgo.
We will be using our computing skills to look at online safety. This is a particularly important part of the computing curriculum and will enable the children to understand the need to be safe online. The areas we will be addressing include :
Can they amend their own privacy settings to keep themselves safe on social networking sites?
Can they understand that some malicious adults may use varies techniques to make contact and elicit personal information?
Can they understand the dangers of chatting or meeting up with an online friend?
Can they share their own knowledge of e-safety with others?
Can they understand the term peer pressure and how powerful an emotion of feeling left out can be?
Can they explain why people may publish content on the internet that is not accurate?
Can they identify and recognise the potential risks of scamming and phishing?
We will be completing an in-depth weekly newsletter to inform you about how the week has gone and what we will be covering the following week. Homework will be given weekly, although there may also be on occasion a necessity to provide extension work to consolidate learning.
PE will take place on Friday afternoons. PE kits consist of black shorts, red polo shirt and black pumps. Please can you provide these in a PE bag and label all items clearly with your child's name. Our first term we will be swimming. Please ensure your child does not wear any jewellery and has appropriate swimwear.
We look forward to what promises to be another exciting year.

New Tampa homeowners have the luxury of living in a dynamic area with something to offer resident regardless of the current lifestyle. Whether you're a parent looking for great schools or doctoral student looking for affordable housing, New Tampa has something to offer. These qualities have made New Tampa a popular destination, however, a recent economic slowdown has made times difficult for many of its residents.If you are a New Tampa homeowner facing a financial hardship, a loan modification is a viable option. Stephen K. Hachey is a New Tampa loan modification attorney and can help homeowners facing foreclosure keep their homes. A loan modification changes the terms of your loan in order to bring about payments that you can afford. Most lenders will modify an existing loan in order to help homeowners who face a documented financial hardship. Until recently, loan modifications were only given to borrowers who were behind on payments when they were faced with a hardship. Now, borrowers may be able to get a loan modification even if they are not behind on payments, but still face a financial hardship.
How Do You Know if a Loan Modification is Your Best Option?Your lender will make a calculated decision based on your hardship letter, current financial situation and employment status to determine if they should approve you for a loan modification. It is highly recommended to consult with an experienced New Tampa loan modification lawyer like Stephen K. Hachey to determine your options and offer you the best available solution.
Do You Have to be Behind on Mortgage Payments to Qualify for a Loan Modification?No, this is a common myth and is false. Many mortgage lenders are receiving incentives to accept loan modifications while the homeowners are still current.
Why Should I Hire an Attorney Instead of Attempting to Do it Myself?Of course you can do it yourself, but ask yourself honestly how important is it to you to keep your home. Many people have tried to complete a successful loan modification themselves with no help or advice, but remember the lender has their best interest in mind and not yours. People always hire experts to handle anything as important as the home they live in. So a better question might be, can you afford to NOT hire a loan modification attorney?

The EUFORIE (European Futures of Energy Efficiency) project responds to the EU Horizon2020 programme, call identifier H2020-EE-2014-2-RIA and to topic EE-12-2014, Socio-economic research on energy efficiency.
The EUFORIE project applies previous work carried out by the project partners in a FP6 project called DECOIN (Development and comparison of sustainability indicators, see http://www.decoin.eu), and in a FP7 project called SMILE (Synergies in multi-scale interlinkages of eco-social systems, see http://www.smile-fp7.eu). The methodologies developed in the DECOIN and SMILE projects are used in the EUFORIE project to analyze energy efficiency at different levels, from different perspectives, and in different spatial and temporal scales.
The EUFORIE Consortium consists of three universities and one research institute with a strong background in energy and environmental issues, and/or sustainability analysis. During the creation of the consortium, great care has been taken that all partners will not only contribute to the project, but will also receive immediate as well as long-term benefits from the project, either by strengthening existing activities or by opening up new directions in their field. This ensures high motivation and the identification of all partners with the objectives of this research project.

Question about Sony KP-57WS500 57" Rear Projection Television
I recently came into possetion of this set. My fathers neighbor offered it to him for free, as it was broken. Unwilling to fix it, he gave it to me. The person he got the tv from was quoted $300 to fix it, I would rather fix it myself if its somthing I can do. So I get the tv home, plug it in, and surpisingly I do see a picture, however there was about a 2" black bar at the bottom of the picture, and it looked as if there was a blue transparency laid ontop of it. As I mess around with it, the blue "transparency" gets more and more solid. Eventually it turned to a completly blue screen, with white arched lines running horizontaly. It also developed some sort of static look to it. Oddly enough, my menus still look fairly normal...I dont know what that means. I have heard 3 different opinions, The VR focus block, the blue CRT, and 2 IC flatpacks...Thank you for any help you can offer.
Posted by Adundee on
I turned down blue on the focus block, and now can watch tv. There are still pretty bad retrace lines and a black bar across the bottom of the screen. Also there is a sort of brightness to the picture that I cant get rid of with just the brightness ajustment...
Hi Adundee,
Yes, you do have a bad blue CRT (picture tube). The best way to deal with this particular TV is to find a used CRT. Almost every TV shop has one of these sitting around, because the estimate to repair is so high. I have one with a bad red CRT sitting around now for 6 months. You use the blue CRT out of my set if you want for a small shipping and handling charge or find one near you.
Another option is to get it rebuilt at Video Display Corporation.
Best Regards,
P.S. Thank you in advance for rating me!
Posted on Feb 10, 2008
Video Display Corp.
You have a bad Blue picture tube. with Sony, they suggest you replace all 3 tubes at the same time. If you have warranty coverage good, if not forget about it. Get yourself another TV.

I blame my parents! I cooked some pasta for supper last night and on stirring it in the bowl a few bits flicked on to the work surface, unnoticed at the time. When I came to move the bowl to serve up, I saw these couple of bits of pasta lying forlornly on the work surface. As I picked them up to throw them in the bin, one of them said to me 'please don't throw us away, we want to be with our friends'. What could I do, I had to put them back in the bowl!
If I open a tin of sweetcorn or similar, I have to make sure that not a single piece is left in the tin and they are all together in the bowl/saucepan!
I recall that my parents persuaded me to eat things by appealing to my sentimental side – the crusts were the mummy and daddy of the bread and needed to be together – the last few peas on the plate were so lonely without their siblings – you get the picture!
I really can't remember how old I was before I used to hide the crusts under the edge of the plate …. but some habits have stayed with me all my life.

Les quartiers ♥ Le cœur de la communauté – Se mobiliser pour l'impact » est un événement national unique qui présente une synthèse des actions de quartier les plus inspirantes et les plus innovantes. L'atelier demande également aux participants d'accroître leur efficacité en imaginant des façons d'assurer l'impact de notre travail collectif et en entamant un processus d'apprentissage réciproque.
Montréal is the second largest city in Canada. In 2017, it is celebrating its 375th anniversary (375th), which makes this the perfect time for the city's champions of neighbourhood change to co-host this international, bilingual learning event with the Tamarack Institute.
Today, Montréal is best-described as a resilient, mobilized city that is full of innovative projects to improve the well-being of their neighbourhoods. Participants at the Deepening Community 2017 Learning Event will have the opportunity to visit Montréal's dynamic neighbourhoods first-hand to discover the very specific social flavor of this beautiful city and see how 30 of its neighbourhoods – each facing poverty and social exclusion – are each forming neighbourhood roundtables that assemble the resources needed to transform these neighbourhoods.
Attendees will also learn more about Montréal's unique neighbourhood-based Collective Impact Project (CIP/PIC) that began in 2015 with a shared investment of $21 million over five years by a group of philanthropic partners, led by Centraide of Greater Montréal. The CIP/PIC is described as "an accelerator of change that aims to increase the impact of collective action and achieve measurable and significant outcomes to reduce poverty in Montréal neighbourhoods." This project offers "flexible and adaptable ways to support collective action" in 17 of the city's priority neighbourhoods.

Lessons Learned/Promising Practices
Lessons Learned
The National Background Check Program began in 2010. Since that time, 26 States have received grants and worked to establish statewide background check programs. Because of the rolling grant application acceptance process, the States entered the program at different times and have varied program maturity. This section presents a collection of lessons learned documents that capture the program development process challenges and methods States have employed to improve their programs and meet the grant requirements.
Promising Practices
A promising practice, as defined by CMS, is a combination of business processes, standards, data, and people (performing their work-related roles) that can serve as a model to other organizations with similar business needs. In the context of the NBCP, a promising practice is an approach being implemented by one or more States that can be objectively measured as beneficial. It is an approach that can be applied, with reasonably few adjustments, by other NBCP-participating States and would be likely to help those States attain similar goals and benefits. In looking at State programs for potential promising practices, CNA focused on the following characteristics and the benefits of each promising practice in these areas:
Efficient processes—Measures could include efficient use of State personnel resources (does the practice save time and money?); elimination of duplicate background checks or other procedures; or lowered cost to applicants, employers, and/or the State;
Effectiveness within the scope of the overall NBCP—Measures could include the number and type of registries automatically checked; the degree to which consistency in a process (e.g., rap back authorization), is maintained and current (i.e., does the practice eliminate guesswork or undue variation?); or the degree of cooperation and integration between the Grantee agency and the State criminal history repository management group;
Applicability to all or many States—Needs to be consistent with approaches being planned or desired by other States, particularly NBCP-participating States. Measures could include whether the practice is replicable to a variety of States, and which types of States would be likely to see similar benefits from the practice; and
Completeness and meeting the broadest spectrum of grant goals—Often an innovative approach to a single process can effectively address multiple business goals. Measures could include whether the practice generates benefits in various aspects of the NBCP implementation as proposed by the State.
Four promising practices are described at the following links:

Eve Annecke and I have just completed teaching the Sustainable Development module of our Masters Programme in Sustainable Development for the 15th time! – yes, we cannot believe it, this is the 15th year that our masters programme has been delivered. And this year the class was the largest ever, at 53 students (selected from nearly 150 applicants who qualified for entry). Of the 53, only 13 are men (mainly because of the low number of men who applied) and nearly 60% are black. More significantly, 33% of the group were non-South African – the highest ever. Of the 17 non-South Africans, 14 are from various African countries, including Nigeria, Kenya, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Ivory Coast and Namiba. The other non-South Africans are from The Netherlands, Spain and Australia. Most are from the private sector – 24 out of 53, followed by 11 from the public sector, and 5 from the NPO sector. Ten are full-time students, and the other 3 are a mix of consultants/unemployed. It was a high energy module, covering a lot of ground including 'long histories' from 13 billion years ago, to inner histories of what it means to be human in today's transforming world. The strong non-SA African presence influenced the direction of the discussions, including questions about the implications of the Bannonist coup in the US for the future of Africa, and in particular what it means to be African in a world where racism is on the rise, humanism may be dying and environmentalism is on the defensive. We read Achille Mbembe and Ben Okri to help generate some answers to this question.
Thanks to all the wonderful people at the SI who supported us, and to the families who have supported the students as they commence a journey that is bound to transform them.
