Cute Kimono look
I love the kimono look of the top of this dress. My only issue is that the ruffles on the sleeves always turn up and the stitching of the underpart turns out. It takes away from the look and turns into an item of wonder for other babies haha!

Club member Tom Wheeler told us:
"Our video was entered into a competition to promote student societies and we have been lucky enough to make the final. We are the only mountaineering/climbing club to have made it this far into this nationwide competition."
Obviously here at UKClimbing we think that 5 grand for a bunch of students to go cragging is of course an excellent idea! Seriously though, supporting student mountaineering clubs is important, as these are often the places that the craft of climbing is learned, and many future climbing stars are born in these clubs. So why not have a watch of their video below, not only to help them win, but also because it might inspire you to get out and do some climbing yourself.
There are loads of excellent university climbing clubs, and if your club has run a recent expedition, do let us know and send us an expedition report.
We asked Tom to tell us a bit more about his club:
"Imperial College Mountaineering Club is an incredibly active mountaineering club based at the college's South Kensington Campus. As a London based climbing club with over 100 members, there is a huge variety of abilities in a wide range of climbing disciplines. The club runs weekly training sessions at various indoor climbing centres, fortnightly nationwide trips and monthly social events, as well as 3 international tours a year to allow members the opportunity to experience all that there is to enjoy in climbing. This has lead to the club (and its members) developing and becoming stronger year on year. This year, ICMC has seen its members go on to boulder V11 (Mr Fantastic), climb Scottish Winter IV (Aladdin's Mirror Direct) , sport 8a (Daniboy) and lead E6 (Committed).
Through various trips and tours, ICMC has managed to film and put together a 4-minute promotional video to showcase some of the highlights of the last 2 years for the club and its members. Through a stroke of luck, it has been selected to be a finalist in the RBS ESSA Promotional Video competition.
If you want to see the video then give it a watch on the link below. By doing this you could help ICMC win up to £5,000. If you are a student at Imperial, and would like to get involved get in touch through the union website."

BREMEN, Germany — Australian boutique wholesaler and distributor Sugar & Sas is now distributing Fun Factory's range of silicone pleasure products.
"When we first got in touch with Fun Factory, we were amazed by the unique design, vibrant colors and the reliable, powerful technique that all their toys unite," said Margaret Saunders from Sugar & Sas. "We are excited to have exclusivity with Fun Factory and see it as a great addition to our brands."
Annika Scherer de Patiño from Fun Factory says the two companies share a mutual appreciation and devoted commitment to help overcome feelings of unease or shame when it comes to buying and using sex toys. Quality products that are also pleasing to the eye combined with open-minded marketing strategies have made sex toys also attractive to mainstream costumers.
"Sugar & Sas understand and share Fun Factory's company values," Scherer said. "That's why they are the ideal distribution partner in Australia. They only sell high-class products and are known for their professionalism when it comes to service and customer support. We are much looking forward to go a long and successful way with them."

Lights! Camera! Open Fire!
The Pentagon's pursuit of Hollywood's special effects wizardry and computerized combat skills sounds like a $45 million bargain.
That's how much the Army plans to spend on a University of Southern California-based research center to develop advanced military simulations. The goal is to train soldiers using the kind of technology and people skills at which major studios excel.

Calm & Confident Birth Workshop
This highly recommended Calm & Confident Birth practical workshop teaches effective self-hypnosis, breathing and relaxation techniques. All designed to calm the mind and show you how to work with your body during birth. These techniques are proven to help release fear and enable you to give birth in the way you are designed to…calmly, naturally.
This practical workshop will simplify things as we get straight to what is required to help prepare you for the birth of your baby and give your birthing partner a chance to get involved and be there for you.
Birthing partners have an important role in supporting women in labour. This workshop will give your partner more confidence ready to go forward to the birth of your baby, in a calm and relaxed way.
My husband is aware of a whole lot of things he did not know before. As a result, we already feel closer together and more empowered"
You will learn;
- Relaxation triggers
- How to breathe during surges
- Massage techniques to create endorphin's – your body's own natural painkillers
- Pressure points to create more comfort
- Birthing positions and movements
- And lots of practical tips!
When to take this workshop
The bottom line is, any time before you go into labour is a good time to take this workshop, but enrolling after month 6 or 7 of your pregnancy is recommended. Even if it's not your first pregnancy, you may want to consider attending as every labour and delivery is different, so even seasoned pros can benefit from a refresh. Keep in mind that the sooner you register, the more likely you are to ensure you have secured a place.
The workshop is suitable for all birth choices and is available to anyone who desires to create a more calm and confident birthing experience.
I had the most incredible birth and entirely drug free thanks to the techniques I'd learnt in class. And the practice and confidence we gained in the birth prep workshop was invaluable. My fabulous supportive husband who let me lean on him squeeze his hand and he massaged my back. Even the midwives commented on how good my breathing was and it really did help me avoid the drugs. Thank you!"
Just a quick note to let you know that our little baby girl arrived naturally yesterday after a relatively smooth and quick drug-free water birth. All of the techniques you taught us helped so much, in particular the relaxation and affirmations so thank you so much!!"

EDP Road Diet Archive
Action Timeline
An action timeline for the City of Danville's response to the Kentucky Department of Highway (KDOH)'s road diet proposal was established at a February 3, 2014 informational meeting among City officials and downtown business owners/managers. Both the February 3 meeting as well as the timeline was facilitated through the advocacy of the EDP through the Heart of Danville, with the cooperation of Danville City Manager Ron Scott and City Engineer Earl Coffey.
- Phase 1 (February 2014): Phase 1 initiated multiple research projects, including (1) collection of downtown Danville traffic data by the City and KDOH District 7; (2) observations of comparative city road diet implementation by City Engineer Earl Coffey and Police Chief Tony Gray; (3) a survey/study of economic impact on comparative city businesses by Dr. Benjamin Knoll of Centre College; and (4) a survey of downtown Danville business owners/managers conducted by the Heart of Danville. This phase was to be initiated before February 28, 2014.
- Phase 2 (March 2014): Phase 2 is focused upon collecting and compiling the data and findings of all pending research projects initiated in Phase 1. This phase will conclude by March 31, 2014, with a formal presentation of all findings to the Danville City Commission for its review and consideration.
- Phase 3 (April 2014): Phase 3 is targeted to public review and discussion of the data and findings revealed in Phase 2. This phase will culminate in the Danville City Commission's formal response to KDOH's road diet proposal by April 30, 2014. As a critical part of this phase, the EDP anticipates that KDOH District 7 traffic engineering/planning staff leadership will participate in a workshop of the Danville City Commission to review the road diet proposal, respond to local data collection/findings, and respond to the public's questions about the proposal.

Recipe At-A-Glance
A Simple Cucumber Onion Salad is best made in summer, when the vegetables are at their peak freshness and their flavors can really shine through.
Gluten-Free, Plant-Based
Ready in 10 minutes
This concoction is painfully simple. Which I personally think is the mark of a really good seasonal recipe. In the summer, onions and cucumbers are so fresh, sweet and delicious, you really want them to shine through. And this cucumber onion salad recipe does just that.
I've been eating this salad for as long as I can remember! It's a classic in our family, and a great way to use up a bumper crop of summer cukes.
This is a no muss, no fuss recipe! It's just a quick and easy summer side dish that's a perfect last-minute addition to any of your summer cookout menus. Chances are, you already have everything you need to make it in your kitchen.
When it comes to the yogurt, honestly, any kind of plain yogurt will do the trick. I've done this with plain Greek yogurt (full fat, reduced fat, and nonfat). I've done it with regular yogurt. I've done it with soy yogurt. I've done it with coconut milk yogurt. I've done it with sour cream even. It's *really* hard to mess this dish up!
I do recommend looking for Vidalia onions for this dish. They are much sweeter and milder than your standard yellow or white grocery store onions. I've done this dish with "regular" onions in the past, and it works, but the onions are definitely the predominant flavor. If regular onions are all you have kicking around, I'd recommend letting the salad rest in the fridge for an hour or two before serving—the vinegar in the dressing will help to mild out the tang a little.
When it comes to the cucumber slices, you may notice that they have a neato little pattern in the peel. To get that pattern, all you have to do is run along the peel of a cuke with a fork before slicing.
This not only makes for wicked pretty slices of cucumber, but the little ridges also help the yogurt dressing to adhere to the cucumber slices—meaning you get more of the tangy deliciousness in each bite.
Speaking of slicing, I highly recommend using a mandolin slicer for this salad. I've done it with a regular ole knife and cutting board before, and it's a lot less tedious if you use the right tool for the job. I normally set my mandolin to medium slices for cucumbers and then thin slices for the onions. Enjoy!

"Our wedding was our most favorite day to date! The ceremony was held in a private garden at a golf club local to us. The reception was also outdoors, but under a very large pavilion. The theme we decided on was vintage romantic, and our colors were ivory and slate blue. It was held the Sunday before Memorial Day this year, and we could not have asked for better weather. My gown, the Aura (style 116201), was purchased at local boutique in Indiana, called, Something Blue Bridal Boutique. All in all, we had the best time celebrating with our closest family and friends on a day that we will never ever forget!"

Dark Havana: Tom Ford TF628 Cecilio 02 52N
Tom Ford News from Friday, May 15 2018
This month media demonstrated what's it like to be a truly mega brand when press wants to talk about you when you didn't score. Amal Clooney has reportedly not worn Tom Ford dress to Metropolitan Gala. She didn't wear Tom Ford dress. However, every newspaper in the world talked about her not wearing the dress because she made his team mad. No one bothered to mention that she chose to wear Richard Quinn. Of course, after such news, Tom Ford team reached out to magazines saying that it was an exaggeration and they are not mad at Amal this time.
Met Gala is an annual party held by Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York City. The event is getting bigger every year because more and more celebrities show up and prepare for it. This year's cover photo was of Madonna who wore nun inspired dress and with the Jean Paul Gautier dressed as a priest. They looked very cute together.

Infosecurity welcomes op-ed pitches from industry professionals. If you would like to be considered, please send a short synopsis and proposed title for your article to email@example.com
The editorial team will then make a decision on whether or not to issue a commission. Please be patient, we receive several pitches every day. If your submission does get accepted, please be aware that, due to a high volume of submissions, it can take several days for articles to be published after receipt.
Comment/op-ed Submission Guidelines:
Most important: The primary purpose of writing an op-ed is to draw attention to an important issue that requires action (whether this be positive acknowledgement or negative criticism). No commentary /op-ed will be accepted if it does not contain this element. It should be supplemented by the author's clearly stated opinions on the issue.
Use this opportunity to address an issue that is of interest to you. The main reasons for rejection are that there is no actual argument presented - just a topic and comments on how it is resolved using one product, because they fail to present an opinion or because the writer tries to cover everything that is happening in security. Be great on one topic rather than average on multiple areas.
Avoid any explanatory pieces of technology, or anything going "back to basics". The Infosecurity reader is well aware of current issues so we are looking more for opinions on how to solve the problems rather than what the problem is.
Any submissions must be content exclusive to Infosecurity. We will not consider publishing non-exclusive op-eds.
600-800 words, search engine optimized, and with links to relevant companies/reports mentioned; also supply a 1-2 sentence summary of the article that incorporates the article key words and author's name.
Use of bulleted/numbered lists is discouraged, as the point of an op-ed is to express a personal opinion. Although we do not prohibit the use of such lists, they should be used sparingly, and no more than once per op-ed. Any op-ed comprising a series of numbered/bulleted lists will be rejected.
Optional: Images should accompany opinion pieces. Minimum of one image, max is 3. Images should be supplied as gif or jpeg files, and should be at least 300 pixels wide.
There are no deadlines for these pieces, but keep in mind that we post these articles to our site every day. So we prefer topics and content to be more evergreen in advice, and if the topic covered is very timely, we will begin an immediate review on how we can use it.
Opinion/comment articles should have a clear thesis, and should examine topics/subjects relevant to information security professionals. They should not be product advertisements. Product advertisement articles, or "advertorials" will not be accepted.
We are currently looking for contributors to submit an op-ed on the following topics. Updated 1st August 2018
- Do we need an international professional standard for security professionals?
- What about a standard for products, will the EU cybersecurity certification framework be a positive thing?
- One of the discussion points recently has been on agility and digital transformation, can this be done if security is not at the heart of the company?
- We have talked endlessly about the death of passwords, will WebAuthn be adopted to enable ubiquitous authentication?
If you are interested in writing on any of these topics, please email email@example.com

The origin of the Killer Moth!
Just who is the Killer Moth? He's the original anti-Batman. A villain intent on emulating all of the tricks and tropes of the caped crusader way before Hugo Strange, The Wrath or Prometheus ever did. Plus he's got the greatest name and coolest costume ever!
"The Origin of the Killer Moth!" Story by Bill Finger, Art by Lew Sayre Schwartz and Charlie Paris
The man who was to be known as the Killer Moth, was once PRISONER 234026, serving out his sentence at Gotham penitentiary. What crime he committed or even his true name are a mystery to this day...
Taking inspiration from the famed crime-fighter, Batman, he plotted for the day of his eventual release.
Years passed and convict 234026 rejoined the world. He quickly set his plans in motion. Using stashed loot, he built the identity of millionaire playboy CAMERON VAN CLEER. But that lavish lifestyle was merely a ruse as he made preparations under his estate. As you can see, Van Cleer was far from reformed...
Van Cleer assumes an identity to start what would be a spectacular criminal career as THE KILLER MOTH! Stealing the thunder from his inspiration, Batman, The Killer Moth creates a Mothmobile, crime lab and even a trophy room in his subterranean Mothcave.
He vows to make the mask of Batman the first trophy of his crime career! The Killer Moth plans to establish himself as Gotham's premier criminal...
As he waits for the summons from his criminal customers, Cameron Van Cleer dines with fellow Gotham museum board member, Bruce Wayne! Both are oblivious to each other's secret lives!
Both of the two millionaires make hasty excuses and speed off to the scene of the crime!
The villainous Killer Moth arrives first; sending the cops scattering as he swoops in on a steel cable, guns blazing!
However Batman and Robin arrive on the scene and give chase in the Batmobile!
The Dynamic Duo are overcome by gas from the Mothmobile. Killer Moth gleefully takes them hostage! What awful fate does he have planned for our heroes?
With Robin left to a gruesome fate, the Killer Moth forces Batman to lead him to the secret location of the Batcave, where the he can further steal Batman's thunder! However, the clever boy wonder frees himself from the deathtrap and radios Batman that he is safe.His trump card lost, the Killer Moth flees with Batman in hot pursuit!
The furious chase ends with the two combatants dueling high atop Gotham bridge! The crafty criminal sprays grease on the cables, making Batman slip. When it looks like the Killer Moth has the upper hand...
...Batman turns the tables and lands a toppling blow to the would-be crime king of Gotham. Is this the last we've seen of the villainous Killer Moth? Of course not!

Killer Moth Action Figure!!!
It has been my personal crusade to see a Killer Moth made in action figure form. And thanks to my pals, the Four Horsemen, Mattel is making Killer Moth figure based on his silver age costume in their awesome DC UNIVERSE CLASSICS line. The images are from San Diego Comic Con where the "two-up" was revealed. The final figure will be 6" tall and in Wave 6 of the action figure series which is due to hit stores around late fall of 2008! You know I'll be buying every one of these I see!!
As a special bonus, here's one of the Four Horsemen sculptors, Eric "Cornboy" Mayse, holding a Killer Moth custom. Thanks, Eric!

The trebles of Tewkesbury Abbey Schola Cantorum
Tewkesbury Abbey Schola Cantorum
Helen Porter piano
Carleton Etherington organ
Benjamin Nicholas director
This 'songbook' is unique to the Schola Cantorum choristers of Tewkesbury Abbey. "Essentially, it's a showcase for the Abbey trebles," their Director of Music Benjamin Nicholas explains. "We've been assembling our own Songbook for quite a while now – the songs the trebles sing, from time to time, in boys-only concerts, and that they are taught in individual singing lessons. I've always been keen to build each boy up as a soloist, not necessarily with the express idea of them singing lots of solos, but so that they can learn to sing in a soloistic way."
This is evident most of all in the distinctive singing of 11- year-old Laurence Kilsby, whose gifts won him the BBC Chorister of the Year competition in 2009. On this recording, he features as soloist in two Shelley settings by Roger Quilter, the Bach/Gounod Ave Maria and in John Ireland's beautiful, sincerely-felt Passiontide motet Ex Ore Innocentium< from 1944.
'Throughout, the trebles of Tewkesbury Abbey Schola Cantorum give excellent performances of impressive consistency ..... They have an uninhibited, fresh sound coupled with the skill to sustain lengthy phrases with even tone.'
Gramophone Magazine
'The young trebles of Tewkesbury Abbey are a force to be reckoned with. They sing musically and fearlessly with excellent diction and a mature, warm tone.'
Choir & Organ, Sept/Oct 2011

Man, Myth, Legend… David Fabricius
Most people never actually achieve the things that they want to in their lives, but David Fabricius has accomplished things that most mortal men would think impossible. He makes the impossible possible, and has found a way to make a business out of his inspirational story.Press Release VideoLoading the player...Details(prREACH)
If one has ever walked down the street and been approached by a homeless person, or seen one, they most often wonder how that person ended up there and why haven't they done something about it. That was David Fabricius. He was the homeless man but unlike the majority of homeless people, he refused to accept his situation. He decided to take action and make a change. The average person would seek employment, but that is not Fabricius. He always knew he was made to do more, and accomplish more. Average has never been enough for him.
Fabricius has done just that and so much more. He was literally homeless and now he's a globally known speaker, coach, entrepreneur, and real estate investor. Fabricius is proof that if one wants it bad enough, one can get it, if they are willing to put in the work and go after what they want. His story, passion, and accomplishments have attracted people like Sir Richard Branson, Tony Robbins, and Robert Kiyosaki whom he has shared stages with, helping to make Fabricius the world renowned speaker he is today.
Everything Fabricius has accomplished has landed him speaking at the JT Foxx Mega Success event in November 2017 in Anaheim California. He is among some of the top names in the world that will be taking the stage at this high profile event. Mark Wahlberg, Al Pacino, Mel Gibson, Christie Brinkley, Bethenny Frankle, and many more A-List celebrities will join Fabricius. This event is focused around showing others how to achieve success, and there is no better person then Fabricius to do that.
Fabricius is now committed to helping others achieve their vision of success, as he knows how to overcome challenge after challenge with grace, passion, commitment, and gratitude. There is no challenge too difficult and nothing that Fabricius isn't capable of achieving. He is even more driven than ever to help others achieve their success.LinksQuotes"Anyone hungry enough to do so, can learn how to go from nothing to global success. You can learn how to create greater financial security, freedom and peace of mind. If I could do it, so can you - I show you step-by-step how" - David FabriciusImagesContact

One year later, Ohio State's Braxton Miller clears up Alabama transfer rumors
Braxton Miller was never going to be Alabama's next quarterback.
That's what the former Ohio State wide receiver told media on Tuesday night in Mobile, Ala., where some of this draft class' best players are participating in the Senior Bowl.
Miller was a two-time All-Big Ten quarterback at Ohio State before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury in 2014. In his absence, J.T. Barrett and Cardale Jones both played at a high level, and the competition — along with his injury — pushed Miller to wide receiver.
Before he made the switch, college football fans wondered if he would transfer to play quarterback somewhere else. Alabama, maybe?
But Miller told AL.com's Michael Casagrande that, despite doing his rehab in Birmingham, he never heard from anyone on the Crimson Tide coaching staff.
"Yeah man, but (the rumors) got me a lot of Alabama fans, though," Miller said. "They're very friendly. I appreciate all the Alabama fans who accepted me."

Father's Day is right around the corner -- make it one to remember with these Fairtrade Father's Day gifts
To an activist, the word impact can mean a lot of things. Impact is the white whale of the consciously-minded person or businesses. It's how we measure our change in the world – change that, no matter how large or small, we hope will grow into something greater.
Interest in sustainable fashion is booming as the Fashion Revolution sweeps the globe, but don't forget about the small-scale cotton farmers at the beginning of most supply chains.
Fashion Revolution Week, April 23-29, is a call for change in the fashion industry. Subindu Garkhel, cotton manager at the Fairtrade Foundation, explains how we're all connected to the often-invisible farmers and garment workers who make our clothes. Fairtrade America joins in asking brands #WhoMadeMyClothes?
If so many companies have integrated sustainability into their strategic planning, why doesn't it feel like we're closer to solving climate change and other societal ills?
This Easter, choose Fairtrade treats to make life better for small-scale cocoa farmers around the world
Undoubtedly, bananas' popularity comes from their distinctive appearance – and their rock-bottom price. But what might be less well-known is that bananas as we know them are on the verge of extinction.
The holidays are fast approaching and everyone is on the hunt for the perfect gift. Sharing gifts gives us a sense of joy, but have you ever considered giving a gift that also impacts the lives of farmers and workers that produce them? This holiday season, extend the impact of your gift-giving by sharing Fairtrade certified products with your friends and family.
What's important to you when you step into the supermarket? How do you shop your values? The variety of food labels and certifications can be daunting. This guide can serve as a handy reference to other labels you might find on Fairtrade products.
Every day we're confronted by a deluge of options in the super market aisle. Making the sustainable choice can be a chore. But if you think LOFTy – local, organic and Fairtrade – you'll find items that are good for you and good for the planet.
Every mom wants the best for their child. When you're a fair trade mom like me, you also want to make sure it's best for the planet and the people producing the things you use every day.
How do we know when Fairtrade succeeds? How do we know when there's room for improvement? Measuring impact is a difficult task requiring long-term investment and a complex understanding of the topic. Arisbe Mendoza, Head of Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning at Fairtrade International, provides this guest blog on the release of Fairtrade's latest impact report by the Overseas Development Institute (ODI).
In Fond du Lac, Wis., a town of 43,000 on the shores of Lake Winnebago, a fair trade movement is building. Activists and advocates have opened a fair trade market place, encouraged stores to carry fair trade goods, and have held regular events to build awareness. A Fair Trade Bake Sale this month by students at UW-Fond du Lac has put the school on the path to becoming a Fair Trade University.
With the mid-point of Fair Trade Month past, we thought you could use some divine inspiration for your Autumnal baking adventures. Check out this recipe for Double Chocolate Cranberry Cookies from Divine Chocolate!

The North
Comprising all of the land of Westeros from the Neck to the Wall, The North is the largest and wildest of the Kingdoms of Westeros. Sparsely populated, it retains more creatures of bygone ages than the southern half of the continent. The last tribes of Children of the Forest remaining in Westeros live almost exclusively in the North, and the only giants south of the Wall as well. Dire beasts of every variety are much more common in this rugged land than in the south, and weirwood groves are found in greater abundance than anywhere else.
The North is ruled by House Stark, and the head of the house is known as the King of Winter. The current King of Winter is Gaven Stark, and his house's legacy is in peril. During the Longest Night, Gaven and all six of his sons set forth to treat with the Children in order to beg their help in defeating the Others, and did not return to Winterfell until the foe was turned back. He returned alone, a haunted and changed man, appearing a decade older and now without an heir.
To the east, the ever-ambitious House Bolton musters support within the Dreadfort, and many northmen expect the Flayed Man to clash with the Direwolf any moment.
The North, unsurprisingly, supports The Night's Watch more strongly than any other kingdom. Nearly every family in the kingdom sends its second sons to take the black, and does it proudly. The horrors of the Longest Night are still fresh in the minds of northmen, and they are not shy about making sacrifices in order to help defend against any repeat of that bleak winter.
One of the most notable features of geography in the North is The Wolfswood. This vast forest primeval covers as much ground as the entire kingdom of Dorne, and is replete with weirwoods, sentinels, and soldier pines that have stood for centuries (or millenia in the case of some weirwoods). Packs of direwolves roam dozens strong, dire bears stand twenty feet tall, and giants still live as they have for thousands of years, all without ever leaving this ancient wood.

How in the world are we already 6 months into the year? I am officially starting to freak out about the wedding. I know that Pete and I are in a good place with our checklist but I still feel like we have so much to do. We did make some headway this weekend by finishing up our planning kit and ordering our invitation proofs. I am so excited to get started assembling the invitations and getting them ready to send out.
Before I get going on a random wedding tangent, let me tell you about my workouts went last week. I promise I am trying to get better about blogging and sharing my life. The biggest thing going on in my life besides work and wedding stuff is my workout routine. Last week, my running workouts were not easy at all. It wasn't the distances that got to me. It was the weather. The horrendous heat and humidity made my daily runs absolutely miserable. Even if I waited until 11 PM to run, I would still end up drenched in sweat after only a few minutes. I may need to start heading back to the gym for my daily runs just so that I don't melt. Running in the air conditioning is 1000% better than melting in a puddle of my own sweat.
Since I am almost at 200(!) days of running and it is the start of a new month, I thought it was about time to challenge myself a little more with my running streak. I have been really good about making sure that I run at least 15 minutes every day, which is a little more than one mile. That isn't enough to get me through the Dopey Challenge and meet my goals for that race weekend. I have decided to up my game a little bit each week and month going forward. My goals for the month of June is to run at least 18 minutes each day and increase my weekly mileage by at least 1 mile (or 15 minutes). If I can make it through June, then I will continue the trend as I head into marathon training.
My barre classes last week were also challenging. Who knew that I would be able to consistently do more than 200 push-ups each week? When I started taking barre classes back in October, I never thought that I would actually feel challenged with every single class. Two weeks ago, I reached a pretty cool milestone … 100 classes! I will say the changes I am seeing in my body are a little more subtle than I normally see when I am strength training but I have never stuck with a program more consistently than this … EVER! I actually think taking classes regularly has helped me keep my running streak going.
Monday – Easy Run
- 42 miles, 18:01 minutes, 12:40 min/mile avg. pace
Tuesday – Barre Class + Easy Run

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has provided little comfort with his recent assurance that taxpayers are no longer on the hook for the nation's largest and riskiest financial firms. In his annual letter to shareholders, Dimon wrote that not only have post-crisis reforms largely eliminated the chance of a megabank failure, but the reforms would also prevent a domino effect in the financial markets if such a scenario were to occur again. Don't believe everything you read.
Dimon's pledge fails to address the increasing concentration of our banking system in the hands of a few multitrillion-dollar financial behemoths. This trend has only been exacerbated by the 2008 Wall Street crisis that, of course, set off the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression and ushered in a wave of new regulations on the community banks that did not cause the crisis. In fact, 0.2% of all U.S. banks hold nearly 70% of industry assets and enjoy the lowest cost of funds in the banking industry despite having the lowest credit quality. This represents a precarious risk to the broader financial sector and an artificial funding advantage subsidized by an implicit taxpayer guarantee.
The letter ignores a long precedent of the federal government stepping in to save troubled megabanks and their creditors. History indicates that not only are financial crises unpredictable, but regulatory safeguards designed for the last crisis fail to stop future ones. As Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis President Neel Kashkari wrote in a blog post, governments are quick to rescue those that hold debt in the largest financial firms to ward off contagion and collapse.
Meanwhile, concerns remain that the largest banks' private gains and socialized losses have spawned morally hazardous behavior, in which megabank employees take excessive risks knowing that taxpayers have their backs. Wells Fargo's phony-accounts scandal demonstrates the harm of the megabanks' grow-at-all-costs mentality, while the largest banks have repeatedly displayed financial impropriety within a system they are capable of rigging.
No wonder the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis and the Government Accountability Office have concluded that the "too big to fail" problem persists. After all, the Justice Department never brought a case against senior Wall Street executives following the 2008 crisis. At the time, then-U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder admitted that prosecutors held off on megabank prosecutions over fears of the economic impact. Not only are the largest banks too big to fail, they are too big to jail.
To truly address the problem, policymakers should consider: enhanced capital, leverage and liquidity standards, stronger concentration limits, stricter resolution regimes and restrictions on the use of the federal safety net. Additionally, Congress and the administration should continue to pursue regulatory relief for community banks to promote localized banking and economic growth. Community banks reinvest in local communities and offer relationship-based services that incentivize true financial stewardship — something that should be promoted by policymakers, not punished through increasingly burdensome regulations.
Despite the assurances of the chief executive of the nation's largest financial institution, the "too big to fail" problem remains unsolved. History shows that you simply can't take everyone at their word.

GAGE's conceptual framework takes a broad approach that pays careful attention to the interconnectedness of what we call 'the 3 Cs': Capabilities, Change strategies and Contexts:
Capabilities: GAGE is tracking changes over time in adolescents' capability development and the ways in which their capability outcomes and experiences are gendered;
Change strategies: GAGE has a strong focus on assessing the ways in which creating long-term and sustainable change in girls' lives requires simultaneous interventions aimed not only at girls themselves, but also at their families and communities and the services on which they depend;
Contexts: GAGE is exploring the ways in which girls' local and national environments shape their lives—and also the types of programmes through which change could be supported.
Our 3 Cs framework recognises that adolescent girls at different stages in life face different needs and constraints. For example, 10-year-old girls need time to play while 19-year-old girls may need help parenting their own toddlers. Similarly, an unmarried 15-year-old girl studying at an urban secondary school is likely to have very different needs than a married 15-year-old girl living in a remote rural village. Both need the support of friends and family and may face gender-based violence, but programmes aimed at helping them achieve their goals need to be built on a recognition of not just the similarities they share—but their differences.

We needed a drinking fountain installed in our client waiting area and within 24 hours of the initial search, the fountain was installed and working perfectly. The technician was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. We are very pleased with the service we received from QAP and will not hesitate to contact them for all of our plumbing needs in the future.

When the temperatures dropped my pipe to my water spigot busted. I called Quik Action Plumbing. They were able to get someone out that evening. Instead of just repairing the pipe and having it possibly freeze and bust again. He gave me other suggestions and quoted me both prices and let me make the decision as to how I wanted to handle the repair. He made the repair the same visit. Very friendly!

Laser Assisted Hatching
What is laser assisted hatching?
Once your embryo(s) are transferred into your uterus the embryo needs to hatch out of its surrounding protective membrane called the zona pellucida, in order to be able to implant into your uterus. This happens when it reaches the blastocyst stage at 5 – 6 days old.
There is evidence to suggest that this hatching process may be a problem for some patients' embryos, where a thickened or hardened zona may not allow it to occur.
Laser Assisted hatching is a laboratory technique that is offered at Bath Fertility, where a small slit is made in the soft membrane of the embryo shortly before embryo transfer. When the embryo reaches the blastocyst stage, this gap then allows the embryo to emerge (hatch) which may help it implant and establish a pregnancy.
Who is laser assisted hatching suitable for?
Most patients do not need assisted hatching. Studies indicate there may be improved implantation and pregnancy rates if the following applies to you:
- You have failed to conceive following three or more IVF / ICSI cycles
- If the zona pellucida of your embryo(s) appears thicker than normal
Assisted hatching is a delicate technique requiring specialist equipment and skill, so there is an additional charge for this procedure. Please see costs for details.

Retiring science teacher Carol Double suggested a dance linking the school's Adopt-A-Beach program and illustrating the beauty of Lake Michigan. In 2013, 15 boys and girls learned a section of Betty's dance "What I know about Lake Michigan" (from Wade in the Water: The 70% Solution concert) about the origins of Lake Michigan (glaciers) and how the currents in the Lake keep a drop of water in the Lake for about 99 years. "What I know about Lake Michigan" was performed at the last all school assembly on May 21, and dedicated to Carol Double. (April-May, 2012).

NYSSBA Executive Director Timothy G. Kremer Statement on Senate and Assembly Budget Resolutions
FOR RELEASE: March 14, 2016
CONTACT: David Albert
The budget resolutions put forward by the state Assembly and Senate are encouraging for school districts.
Both provide substantial infusions of Foundation Aid above the governor's proposal – and both abolish the Gap Elimination Adjustment next year.
Schools will need every penny of state aid if they are going to cope with this year's punishingly low tax cap. Dozens of districts face a negative tax cap – requiring 60 percent voter approval just to raise the same amount in local revenue as last year. Statewide, the average school district tax cap is just 1.1 percent.
Lawmakers can help schools obtain support for high academic standards by making the cap 2 percent, as was advertised in 2011.
We also hope the Senate will re-consider its $150 million allocation for education tax credits, largely for the benefit of nonpublic schools. That funding could be better targeted to help our struggling schools.
Finally, we encourage the Senate to consider abolishing the link between approved APPR plans and state aid increases, as the Assembly proposed.
We appreciate the commitment that our lawmakers have shown to education, and look forward to a timely budget that invests in our public schools.

Do you have a bucket list? I know you do. You might not jot it all down like some. (I don't as it changes as I do). But I do keep a list of things in my head that I want to try. Some have been there my entire life!
Dreams like Hiking the Appalachian trail or taking my boys to Disney World or my daughter to Hawaii.
Then there are things that just come along that you really wished you hadn't done, but now you can chalk it up to the "been there done that" list. Have some of those? Like keeping so much fabric because you own a quilt shop and its hard to resist but find yourself buried in them so much a friend has to come help sell it off. Done that? Ya I guess I am a loner in that one. But I know some of you have too much fabric, so I am not too alone. Some of you own too much fabric because I run a fabric shop. I won't say names.
This past couple of weeks I (without choice) decided to delve into the world of the unknown. I am relatively healthy but I've been burning the midnight oil for far far too long. I know that..I just have been at a loss what to do concerning it. Anyway, in so doing, I allowed my influenza to turn into pneumonia. Now the flu, been there done that lots. But pneumonia..this was a first.
I find it scary at times (when I can't breathe) and frustrating most of the time. (because I haven't been able to talk or eat for a week without chocking). I find the hospital only willing to do the minimum because I have no insurance..(I will explain this in another post. In my search for insurance..well nothing is simple for the hillbilly lets just say that! You all will find it rather interesting I think so I'll blog about it soon.)
I am feeling better today, but not near as well as I did last night. Not after spending the day in the hospital (twice this week) getting some more good drugs. Last night I was able to talk and eat and it was wonderful! Then I couldn't sleep and was up all night so today I am quite groggy. Master Stephen is awake an awaiting his mother to play so I have to close but I just want to say... I could have done without having said:
Pneumonia: been there done that.
But since I have, I do have a better understanding of what it is like. And I will be taking it easy for awhile yet.
And the webstore is back open as I've had people wanting to view it but I really can't fill orders until Monday. Sorry about that. I'm in bed this weekend. Fun times :)
