(Bloomberg)—Barry Sternlicht's Starwood Capital Group is seeking offers for a portfolio of apartment buildings that together may fetch more than $1 billion, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
The portfolio includes so-called Class B apartment buildings in U.S. states such as Texas and Washington that Starwood and Milestone Apartments Real Estate Investment Trust amassed through a takeover of Landmark Apartment Trust Inc. in January 2016. The following year, Starwood took Milestone private, too. It's possible that the portfolio will include some buildings previously owned by Milestone as well, said one of the people, who asked not to be identified because the matter is private. A Starwood representative declined to comment on the marketing of the buildings.
The Class B classification is given to buildings that don't command the highest rent in their markets and count middle-income households as their key tenant base. Expected vacancy levels of no more than 5 percent at such properties should spur faster rent growth this year compared with other classes of apartments, according to a report from brokerage Marcus & Millichap.
"The apartment market is healthy as it's ever been," Sternlicht said in a CNBC interview last week. Greenwich, Connecticut-based Starwood, one of the world's largest private real estate investors, with roughly $56 billion under management, is a frequent buyer and seller of property. Earlier this month, it finished raising $7.55 billion for its 11th opportunistic real estate fund.

Today, we're publishing the first stable release of Quasar: A full-featured and extensible open-source framework founded on top of the highly popular VueJS that leverages the power of Node, Webpack and Babel.
However, before I get into the details, let me back up a little and tell you my story.
A few years ago, I was where many of you are right now — working in a big corporate world — being tired of petty internal politics and infighting …
I became increasingly troubled by the splurge of conflicting corporate tools … battling interoperability inconsistencies … and longed for a simpler life, where I could flex my programming skills and complete meaningful and rewarding projects that somehow made a difference in the world.
Back in 2015, I was using constantly new and different software tools to create all the separate types of projects that have become necessary in our modern world … iOS apps, Android apps, web apps, websites, Windows Desktop apps, Apple Desktop apps, PWAs …
Each separate flavor of app required a specific and unique group of tools for designing, deving and building, but I still dreamed of a single tool that would replace them all …
I longed for a single framework that would remove all the complexity and produce all these different flavours of apps … from a SINGLE codebase.
Unable to locate such a mythical tool, I decided to build it.
It was a mammoth undertaking. Starting from scratch I knew that I needed to base it on a powerful core framework that could be easily be extended and enhanced to produce the comprehensive system I was envisaging …
Around this time, VueJS was coming to prominence. After reviewing its structure, development path and extensibility, I decided it would provide the perfect basis for the new framework I planned to construct … and save vast amounts of time during the development cycle.
This was the exact moment that the Quasar Framework was born.
What's Quasar all about?
The concept of the Quasar Framework is to be a comprehensive set of components used to construct modern apps … from simple basic components like dialogs, buttons, inputs, tabs, panels, tooltips, toolbars, badges, date pickers, color pickers, icon pickers, cards, avatars, banners, tooltips, spinners and more … all the way through to much more advanced components like chat message boxes, activity timelines, datatables, calendars, video players, wysiwyg editors, fly-in panels, ribbon bars … and much more …
These components are all based on top of VueJS… making their use completely familiar to all the many Vue developers looking for an easy extensible component system to expand their projects.
As of today's release of the all-new Version 1, Quasar includes 123 components … and that number is constantly increasing due to an inbuilt system for custom component creation …
Quasar also provides the build system necessary to create production ready apps … all from one single simple command line …
After installing one global dependency and creating a project, literally one line of code is all that's required to build a production ready iOS app, Android app, Web app, Windows Desktop app, MacOS Desktop app or Linux Desktop app … from your one single codebase …
$ quasar build
Forget the complexities of Webpack and Babel … tree-shaking … and other bundle optimisation techniques … that's all wrapped up, hidden behind the scenes and handled automatically for you — all the while retaining the complete ability for you to step in and customise the process should you feel the need.
This is power and extensibility wrapped up in a way that simplifies and speeds up your development process like you have never imagined before.
Quasar has gone through its growing pains already
Early versions required many changes — often breaking changes — which I'm sure annoyed many of our early adopters, but they were necessary growing pains as we iteratively developed this extensive system.
Versions 0.13, 0.14, 0.15, 0.16 up to 0.17 were used to refine the framework, and by version 0.17 there was finally a suitable structure that could form a stable foundation that could grow and expand without the need for future breaking changes.
So, we took the decision to freeze development and undertake a complete refactoring to organise and optimise what we had created.
Notice, I say "we" … because, by this time, I had realised what a massive undertaking this was becoming … and understood it could never be achieved single-handedly, so I began recruiting a core team to collaboratively manage the development.
First one developer joined … then a second … and a third … until we've reached our current level of eight members in the core development team. Each a seasoned, experienced developer with skillsets complementing those of the others.
They're backed up by a further level of additional volunteer staff members who handle customer support, documentation, media, and more …
And there's also an active community of friendly developers … all willing to share and contribute their knowledge and advice to help everyone grow and develop together.
I like to think of this as our extended family — all gathered around a common goal of helping each other and pushing each other to new exciting levels of achievement.
Our Discord chat server in particular is a vibrant active community that never seems to sleep … there's always ongoing conversations about a massive range of topics … and helpful advice being willingly exchanged by excited developers.
Version 1 has been a massive development … a major investment of time and effort by the team and all of the amazing open source contributors.
Since our decision to freeze development of the Version 0.* branch … over 4000 development hours have been invested in the production and rewriting of Quasar.
Also, our hyper-engaged user community have been actively involved in perfecting the code throughout our 5-month open beta and release candidate process … so that we could publish a battle-tested version …
Today's release of Quasar v1 Stable is a major milestone in the Quasar story … but only a stepping stone for the greater things we have planned for the future …
This release has been designed with flexibility and extensibility in mind … but we already have a significant roadmap in place for where Quasar goes from here, which includes several major new build targets like Browser Extensions, Webview and Capacitor.
Our re-write required major systems and processes be put in place that would enable Quasar to grow and remain relevant for years to come … without the need to make significant future breaking changes …
So, if you're a Vue developer (or even a non-Vue developer) who wants to:
- streamline your component usage
- simplify your build and bundle process
- target ANY type of operating system
then this latest Quasar release is one you simply cannot ignore.
What can you do now to find out more?
This article has only scratched the surface of the power and capabilities of the Quasar Framework.
There are many features and important aspects that I haven't had the time to mention here, so over the next few weeks, I'm going to be issuing a series of articles detailing the individual features and concepts of the Quasar Framework … watch out for them.
In the meantime, we have an active and friendly community on both our Forum and Discord chat group to welcome you with open arms …
There's detailed documentation and examples to get you started …
A massive pool of quality components ready for dropping directly into your existing or new projects today …
Great ways to share your code, like preconfigured CodeSandbox, jsFiddle or Codepen …
And an easy to use build process, fully configurable (although in 99% of the cases you won't even need to touch it) … that follows all of the latest and greatest best web practices …
Jumpstart a SPA, PWA, SSR, Mobile App or Desktop App in 30 seconds … (yes, it's that easy to get you started!)
Why not join us?
So, come on over, give Quasar a shot … join our family … enjoy the support of our team and the community of enthusiastic and friendly fellow developers who love using Quasar each and every day …

Although Bonnard executed portraits of Marthe across multiple media, including photography, it is in his paintings of her that he could capture the sensuality of the scene at its most palpable. By using luxurious color to exploit compositional complexities, he created images that would inspire future generations of artists, including Lucian Freud. Sarah Whitfield writes, "Bonnard began painting pictures of Marthe washing early on (from the 1900s), rather in the manner of Degas who had made the subject of feminine hygiene his own. The subject of the nude washing herself in a round zinc tub was one Bonnard treated at least a dozen times in the period between 1914 and 1917. These works are concerned above all with composition, combining Bonnard's favorite device of creating a painting around an empty space, preferably a round void (for which the tub provided the best possible pretext) with his attachment to classical sculpture (the nude crouching in the tub is surely a series of variations on the theme of the Crouching Aphrodite in the Louvre)" (Sarah Whitfield, Bonnard, (exhibition catalogue), Tate Gallery, London & The Museum of Modern Art, New York, 1998, p. 28).
As Whitfield mentions, Bonnard's intimate depictions of nudes are indebted to the tradition of Degas, whose pastels of women at their toilette were a great source of inspiration for the artist. For this work, Bonnard chooses a soft palette similar in tone to Degas's delicate pastels, but the medium of oil allows for a more clearly defined depiction of the figure. One of Bonnard's main concerns here is the balance of his composition, as he positions the clearly-defined figure of Marthe in front of a window that is illuminated in washes of color.
The monumental nude, as in the present work, was a major recurring theme in Bonnard's work from his early years before 1900 until his death in 1947. Sasha Newman in the catalogue of Bonnard exhibition in Paris, Washington and Dallas in 1984 discusses the early nudes as follows: "This early exploration of the female subject culminated in a series of nudes painted in the years preceding the turn of the century, including L'Homme et la femme, L'Indolente (Dauberville, no. 219), and La Sieste (Dauberville, no. 227), which resonate with an explicit eroticism unique in Bonnard's work. The emotional charge of these paintings continues to inform his later nudes - modulated, transformed, but ever present - and becomes the central feature in so many of the interiors in the early years of the twentieth century. Bonnard's obsession with the nude is generally focused on the lonely, solitary figure of Marthe" (Pierre Bonnard: The Late Paintings (exhibition catalogue), Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C. & Dallas Museum of Art, 1984, p. 108).
Considering the rich symbolism of Bonnard's paintings of the nude, John Elderfield has written about the significance of the model's intense focus on her own body, and the voyeurism inherent in these paintings: "The self-absorption is, of course, an apartness. But the prolonged, extended, unhurried activity only apparently excludes the beholder, who waits and watches and can imagine closeness amounting to an identification with the never-ageing, painted woman ('He looked after her, feared her, put up with her, loved her,' a common friend wrote: 'her identity almost merged with his in the constant anxiety she caused him.') Not just looked at but looked after, Marthe is supported in these paintings, which are among Bonnard's slowest, their slowness bespeaking the tactile solicitude of the gaze" (J. Elderfield, "Seeing Bonnard", in Bonnard, The Tate gallery, London (exhibition catalogue), 1998, p. 45).

Analysis: A 10th of Climate Change Research Funding Goes to Social Science
Given that the 'anthro' in "anthropogenic climate change" refers to humanity's influence as the primary driver of global warming, it would make sense that spending on climate-change research include healthy funding for social and behavioral scientists.
A new analysis published in the journal Energy Research & Social Science finds that funding for social science climate-change research is not only unhealthy but downright anemic at roughly 10 percent of the total spend. Meanwhile, total spending on climate-change research in total, regardless of discipline, comes to just 5 percent of all competitive research grants funded between 1950 and 2018.
Research into the social science of climate mitigation, a salient subset of climate research, is at 5 percent of the total climate-change research total. That's 0.12 percent – an eight of a percentage point – of all spending on research, on climate change or anything else, since 1950.
"The funding of climate research appears to be based on the assumption that if natural scientists work out the causes, impacts, and technological remedies of climate change, then politicians, officials, and citizens will spontaneously change their behavior to tackle the problem," write the paper's authors, Indra Overland and Benjamin K. Sovacool. "The past decades have shown that this assumption does not hold."
Overland is with the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs' Center for Energy Research while Sovacool is at the University of Sussex's Energy Policy, Science Policy Research Unit.
"Some of the key climate-change puzzles," the pair argue in "The misallocation of climate research funding," "are in the realm of the social sciences broadly defined: anthropology, economics, education, international relations, human geography, development studies, legal studies, media studies, political science, psychology, and sociology. Yet, as we find here, these are precisely the fields that receive least funding for climate research."
They dismiss the idea that the funding imbalance is necessary since climate change is "unproven" science in some eyes. "[C]urrently, climate skepticism has almost no voice in the scientific community and even fossil fuel companies acknowledge anthropogenic climate change. There remains significant climate skepticism among laypeople, including prominent politicians; however, this is not a natural science problem but one of communication, vested interests, and politics—again the realm of the social sciences."
To make their case, Overland and Sovacool analyzed the dimensions.ai dataset of competitive research grants from 1950 to 2018 (but with reach to 2021) that included 4.3 million awards totaling US$1.3 trillion. The awards came from 332 organizations, such as the U.S. National Science Foundation, national research councils. This covered 37 countries, from major members of the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development to Brazil, China, India, and Russia. (It did not include basic grants and non-competitive funding, which the authors acknowledge can be common in places like China, France, and Germany.)
Much of the paper details the difficulties of mining this material and the methodological solutions the authors came up with, including using obvious keywords (e.g. "climate change" or "global warming") and a longer stream of more nuanced keywords to parse the titles and abstracts.
The authors offers some suggestions for the futurecentering on , "Funding for climate mitigation needs to match the magnitude of the threat." In that vein, they note that the United States alone in 2019 spent $34.8 billion on HIV/AIDS research and treatment, compared to $1.8 billion – since 1990. "If similar efforts were invested into energy and climate social science, they could yield substantial dividends worldwide." They also call for more coordination and transparency on research funding and alignment on determining – and then examining – the truly key questions.
Their suggestions do not let social scientists themselves off the hook. Overland and Sovacool identified several issues with some of the existing social science research on climate change, such as a lack of rigor and reliability or a poor understanding of natural processes. "Methods were often chosen based on familiarity or specialization of the researchers involved, rather than their suitability for a given research question." They continue: "Some [research] is caught up in obscure theoretical debates—one assessment identified no less than 96 theories deemed relevant to the fairly narrow topic of the social acceptance of new technologies."
They close by arguing that properly funding and integrating social science into the issue of climate-change will benefit the cause and social science itself. "Framing climate change more as a global social challenge that cuts across disciplines will expand the scope of research, its ability to offer critical insights, and its social legitimacy among a broader base of stakeholders."

As seen in Guitar Girl Magazine Issue 15 – Spring 2021 – Electrified!
My name is Sophie Burrell; I'm a guitarist/musician, songwriter, and teacher from the South Coast of the UK.
From a very young age, I've always known that music was what I wanted to do—and make! After watching School of Rock at age five, it was no question that my life would shortly become entirely focused around playing guitar! Now at twenty-one, I've been playing for twelve years and slowly working on making music (and all things related) my full-time career.
After growing up through my teens playing lots of shows in various bands, I decided to knuckle down and shift my focus to the online world. In 2019, I had been playing live shows almost every weekend for three years; as much as I absolutely adore playing live (it's by far my favorite part of being a musician!), I needed a break and a change of scenery—I desperately wanted to work on some new projects and develop my songwriting skills.
Making videos on YouTube and Instagram, teaching, and songwriting has been where all of my time has been going for the last year! In December 2020, I released my first single, "Tranquility," as a solo artist. Alongside working on solo guitar music, I've also been writing intensively for a band that will hopefully premiere this year!
What is your definition of tone, and how has it changed over the years?
To me, tone is a musician's identity—it's what makes you individual and unique. I feel like no one ever has the exact same tone. Influences play a huge part in people's tones for sure, but it's what makes YOU sound the way you do. It's no question that tone has become extremely diverse as the years have gone by. There are so many different ways of making tones—digitally, using pedals, tube amps, guitar pickups—ultimately, I believe it's in your fingers—and these additional "tools" just help to enhance your natural tone!
Which guitars, amps, and pedals are you currently using and why?
Oooh, at the moment, I'm using a variety of different things. My "last" live rig was an EVH 5150iii 100w, BOSS TU-3, BOSS NS-2, MXR Dyna Comp, MXR Micro Amp, MXR Black Label Chorus, TC Electronic HOF Reverb & Flashback Delay, and PRS Custom 24 Wood Library. This set-up is absolutely killer, and I couldn't love it more; certain elements could definitely change around a little depending on what effects and tones I'm going to need for my new projects! At home, as I live in a small apartment, I've been rocking through various amp plugins for a while now! Some of my favorites are Neural DSP (Archetype Plini specifically), BIAS FX 2, and STL Tones.
What about strings?
Strings—one of my favorite things! I use D'Addario NYXL 10-46 and D'Addario XT 10-46. They are hands down the best strings I have ever used in my life; having strings that suit you makes such a huge difference!
Are there certain recording techniques you prefer in the studio?
In my last band, we recorded two albums—both with different methods. The first album was recorded "live," where we would all play together and make comps of the best takes and then track vocals and solos separately. I loved doing it this way because it really captured the chemistry, but it wasn't as tight as recording separately. The second way was traditional—drums, guitars, vocals, bass, and production. I think this is my favorite way. More recently, I've been recording everything from the comfort of my desk. I like doing it this way because there's less pressure, but being all alone without any feedback from a producer or bandmates is difficult sometimes; there's no one to give you an immediate second opinion!
How do you keep your sound consistent onstage?
Being well prepared and practiced for sure. You want to be sure that you know your sound and your songs inside out so that you could pretty much play them in your sleep by the time you step on stage, hahaha.
What does your practice consist of?
My practice changes up a lot; it all depends on what I've got going on. Admittedly, for the last year, I haven't been focusing on techniques as much; my spare time has been heavily focused around songwriting. If I'm preparing for a video, my practice will be centered around whatever it is that I'll be playing in the video.
Favorite guitar riff or lick that inspired you to play guitar?
As I was inspired by a movie rather than a riff, that's a tough question! I'll have to go with one of the riffs from School of Rock—either "Immigrant Song" by Led Zeppelin or "Sunshine Of Your Love" by Cream!
What is your advice for young women who hope to work in the music industry?
My advice would be never give up, and never let someone tell you that you won't or can't. If music is what you want to do and it makes you happy, throw yourself at every opportunity with your instrument in hand and a smile on your face! You CAN do it.

The $15 billion sex toy industry has provided us with some modern-day essentials, like condoms and vibrators. It's also introduced us to some colorful inessentials, like animal-themed butt plugs, artificial hymens and Japanese schoolgirl armpit spray. But hey, however people want to spend their money is up to them.
Of course, no good conversation about sex toys is complete without mention of sexual lubrication. Today's market offers a spectacular variety, from warming lubes to cooling lubes, lubes that make you feel tingly and lubes that taste good. There are even some sperm-killing lubricants out there.
But these luxuries are unique to modern times. Our ancestors didn't have access to the wide selection we're presented with today. So they had to get creative. Some options may seem obvious, like aloe, plant oil and animal fats. But historians haven't made the evolution of personal lubrication a priority, and many early examples have gone undocumented. Fortunately, there is some literature that provides details about what our ancestors used to facilitate the old in-and-out. Listed below are some of the most popular lubrications used in pre-modern times.
1. Olive Oil
It's no secret that the Greeks were big into sex. Some early physicians even recommended it as a means of preventing depression, indigestion, lower back pain; even jaundice. And, as researchers at Indiana University's Kinsey Institute found a few years back, the best sex is often accompanied by some lube.
Reports hold that the earliest written evidence of olive oil being used as lubricant dates back to 350 BCE, around the same time the leather dildo became popular.
As we can well imagine, lube is most welcome when sex involves areas that don't provide natural lubrication. Yes, we're referring to anal sex, which we know the Greeks didn't shy away from. Aristotle even makes a brief reference to the use of olive oil during sex in his text The History of Animals. Though he refers to it in terms of contraception, writing, "if the parts be smooth conception is prevented."
The physician Soranus would also recommend the use of olive oil as a contraceptive, insisting that the substance would cause "clogging," causing the entrance of the uterus to close and preventing sperm from passing through.
It's said that during early times, olive oil was a staple product in brothels and in the bedrooms of wealthy landowners. It was also one of the hottest products on the marketplace.
2. Mashed Yams
During Japan's Edo period (1603-1868) couples would commonly use a substance called tororo-jiru, "a slick substance made by grating yams," to provide lubrication during sex. The Japanese were known to use tororo-jiru as a way of lubing up their animal intestine condoms.
Images of sex created during the Edo Period are notably genital-focused. Women's nipples, if included in the image, were rarely colored in. Perhaps the lack of eroticism surrounding the breasts heightened the importance of keeping the genitals ready for sex.
Today, tororo-jiru is best known as a popular Japanese soup.
3. Seaweed
In his paper "Medicinal Uses of Seaweeds," Ryan Drum reveals that, way back when, the people of China, Korea and Japan would boil red seaweeds to produce a thick, sticky liquid called carrageenan. That liquid, he writes, was used as a sexual lubricant. Today, the substance is used as an additive in products across the food, health and beauty industries. But before its introduction to modern times, it was used in crude form to help "stimulate and moisturize the tissues."
More recently, researchers have found that carrageenan-based gels may even work to prevent the transmission of HPV (human papillomavirus) types that can cause cervical cancer and genital warts. The researchers write that, "Interestingly, carrageenan is used as a thickener in some commercially available sexual lubricants and lubricated condoms."
4. KY Jelly
1904 was certainly not "ancient times" but was a significant point in the timeline of personal lubrications as it was the year the first commercially prepared lubrication was introduced. The first owners originally released K-Y Jelly as a surgical aid, though it didn't take long for its alternative purposes to become apparent. In 1917, it was officially introduced as a personal lubricant. In the time since, it's been critiqued for its adverse effect on sperm and fertility. When the AIDS crisis hit, the company pulled a variety of the product off the shelves after it was found it could facilitate the spread of the virus. Nevertheless, K-Y continues to market itself as the "most trusted brand of personal lubricants."

Coconut Bay Resort & Spa on the amazing island of St. Lucia looks to be a great resort. I've never had the pleasure of visiting , but was contacted by their PR rep to see if I'd feature Coconut Bay's signature drink, the Dirty Banana on my weekly Boat Drinks post. I told her, don't you think I should charge you for the advertising you'd be receiving? She said that if I ever found myself on St. Lucia at Coconut Bay, that I could have all the Dirty Banana's I could drink as my fee.
I don't have any plans as of right now to be on St. Lucia, but if the trade winds blow me that direction I guarantee you I'm holding her to that contract. Cheers!
Dirty Banana Ingredients
Coconut Cream
White Rum
Mokatika (or any coffee liquor),
Ice. Blend. Enjoy.
Sounds like the perfect drink to cool off with pool side doesn't it?
Let me know if you've ever had this tropical libation or if you've ever been to Coconut Bay, I'd love to hear about your experience.

Agriculture in the Pajaro Valley is nearly wholly dependent on irrigation. Being disconnected from the large infrastructure projects that move water around the state means that irrigation water must come from underground aquifers. Unfortunately, after decades of use and overuse, the aquifer lying beneath the Pajaro Valley has been classified as 'critically overdrafted'. This means that more water is pumped out of the aquifer than is put back in. This leads to reduced water quality and saltwater intrusion – a process in which seawater replaces the groundwater that previously existed. The RCD's water conservation efforts work to bring balance back to the hydrology that supports our local agricultural community.
The RCD actively supports local agriculture to sustainably manage groundwater supply and achieve our conservation goals. The goal for the Pajaro Valley is to conserve 5,000 acre-feet of water per year, primarily through improved irrigation efficiency. We partner with the Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency, UC Cooperative Extension, the Natural Resources Conservation Service and others to help to support growers in their efforts to increase irrigation efficiency by improving the operation of their system and optimizing scheduling.
Experts at the RCD are available to provide FREE technical assistance and irrigation trainings to growers, ranch managers and irrigators. There is also financial assistance through grants and other programs to cover the costs of replacing old or less efficient irrigation equipment with more efficient equipment, and to cover costs for growers to trial new, more efficient practices.
Types of direct assistance available to growers include:
Assistance is provided in both English and Spanish.
Would you like to schedule a field consult, or get more information? Contact us or Call (831) 464-2950 x10.
Conservation benefit: Supports long-term groundwater sustainability by reducing groundwater pumping and protects water quality by reducing runoff of water, nutrients and sediment

The possibility of experiencing a respiratory failure when nobody is around you is terrifying! On the off chance that you at any point experience signs or indications of a looming coronary failure, you need to move quickly. The initial not many hours are basic, however an individual can keep the assault from advancing into something more regrettable.
A portion of the notice indications of cardiovascular failure are very self-evident. On the off chance that you experience gentle uneasiness and chest torment, alongside other notice signs, promptly look for help from a close by individual or request that somebody go after clinical assistance. Acting rapidly in such crisis circumstances can essentially improve endurance risks and turn away genuine harm to the heart. Taking the correct moves at the last possible second is an imperative advance during a respiratory failure.
Here are a couple of steps you need to take to get crisis clinical consideration, particularly when you are distant from everyone else:
Connect For Immediate Medical Help
On the off chance that you are distant from everyone else, the above all else thing is to get the telephone and call crisis clinical benefits. AMRI Hospitals cardiologist clarified that the first hour of coronary failure is known as the "Brilliant Hour", where a patient's life can be saved with brief and crisis measures, turning around its impact to the heart.
Keep a rundown of companions and neighbors convenient, who can assist you with packaging crises. Get somebody to drive you to the clinic quickly, or call for crisis emergency vehicle administrations. The EMS ambulances have trained professionals, who can give prompt treatment or start determination prior to arriving at the clinic.
Know Your Symptoms
Distinguishing side effects of a coronary episode isn't unreasonably troublesome. There are some exemplary manifestations that should be promptly tended to. A portion of these signs include:
Extreme chest torment (related with snugness, pressing, or greatness) in the left or focal piece of the chest, which goes on for more than 15-20 mins
Unexpected agony moving towards left upper arm, neck or jaw
Lavish unsteadiness, perspiring, and fear
The vast majority go through these manifestations while encountering a respiratory failure. Moreover, patients of diabetes, hypertension, and neurological illnesses can create different manifestations, for example, gentle chest torment, windedness, sickness, spewing or dark torment in the epigastric district
Take Aspirin
You may have found out about the advantages of taking headache medicine during a coronary failure. On the off chance that you are as yet cognizant, accept it as a positive sign and get an anti-inflamatory medicine tablet. One customary headache medicine (300-325mg) or four little ibuprofen tablets will work quickly to hinder the blood coagulating and limit the size of the coagulation successfully. You can even bite the tablets to get them into the circulation system quick.
Realize that a coronary episode can happen to anybody whenever with or with hazard factors. Patients experiencing ongoing afflictions or heart infections are at higher danger of a cardiovascular failure. Individuals experiencing diabetes, hypertension, kidney issues, heftiness, or those with openness to medications, cigarettes and exorbitant liquor have a higher danger of assaults at an early age. A sound way of life and customary registration to recognize the early admonition signs can help alleviate the dangers of a coronary episode .

In May 2009, OSHA cited Wal-Mart Stores Inc. following an investigation launched after a worker was trampled to death Nov. 28, 2008, at a Wal-Mart store in Valley Stream, N.Y. The worker was knocked to the ground and crushed by a crowd of about 2,000 shoppers surging into the store for its annual "Blitz Friday" holiday sales event.
OSHA's inspection found that the store's workers were at risk of being crushed by the crowd due to the store's failure to implement reasonable and effective crowd management practices. Those practices would have provided the store's workers with the necessary training and tools to safely manage a large crowd of shoppers. The agency issued Wal-Mart one serious citation and a $7,000 proposed fine under the general duty clause for exposing workers to the recognized hazards of asphyxiation or being crushed by a crowd.
Wal-Mart disputed the OSHA citation before the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission (OSHRC). OSHRC is an independent federal agency created to decide contests of citations or penalties resulting from inspections of American workplaces by OSHA. An employer who is cited by OSHA for an alleged workplace health or safety violation(s) can contest the citation(s) and have the case heard by a Commission administrative law judge.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. has 20 days from the date Judge Rooney's decision is docketed with OSHRC to appeal to its commissioners. EHS Today was unable to reach Wal-Mart for comment.
Michaels: "This is a Win"
OSHA applauded the ruling to uphold the fine.
"This is a win for both workers and consumers. It's only fitting that today, on the 100th anniversary of the deadly Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in New York City where 146 workers lost their lives, a judge affirmed OSHA's right to use the general duty clause of the Occupational Safety and Health Act to enforce the law and protect the safety and health of workers," OSHA Administrator Dr. David Michaels said March 25.
"Today's ruling supports OSHA's position that, even in the absence of a specific rule or standard, employers are still legally responsible for providing a place of employment free of recognized hazards that are likely to cause serious injury or death," said Michaels. "If not properly managed by retailers, a large crowd poses a significant threat to the lives of workers and customers."
Michaels added that during the course of OSHA's investigation, Wal-Mart implemented crowd control measures storewide. The National Retail Federation also promoted those practices to its members.
"We praise that action, and urge all retailers to implement crowd management practices ahead of future sales events likely to draw large crowds," he concluded.
Michaels recently wrote a letter, which can be downloaded as a PDF, to retailers on crowd control. An OSHA fact sheet on crowd management measures is available online at https://www.osha.gov/OshDoc/data_General_Facts/Crowd_Control.html.

Senior MEPs from the two biggest political groupings have struck a compromise deal on how to strengthen the MSR, two weeks ahead of a crunch vote in the EU Parliament's environment committee.
The compromise proposal has the MSR starting by the very end of 2018, earlier than the 2021 date proposed by the European Commission and has several other elements that strengthen the MSR from the original proposal.
News of the proposal pushed prices up to a close of €7.46 by the close, its highest finish since December 24. The centre-right EPP party, the biggest in the parliament, had previously only been publicly willing to start the MSR in 2021.
The proposal would:
- put the 900 million backloaded allowances directly into the reserve, otherwise these EUAs would return to the market via auctions over 2019 and 2020.
- put unused allowances from the ETS new entrants reserve, expected to run to several hundred million EUAs by 2020, directly into the MSR.
- set aside 300 million MSR units for an innovation fund, if the backloaded and new entrants allowances there amount to more than 400 million
- Leaves unchanged the Commission's thresholds for when the MSR would be filled and emptied- 833 million and 400 million respectively.
- Cut the timelag between calculating the number of EUAs in circulation and the transfer/release of the MSR to one year, from the two year period proposed by the Commission.
The compromise proposal was endorsed by the EPP's Peter Liese and the Socialists' Matthias Groote, co-ordinators of the two largest groups in the parliament which together have a majority of the MEPs that will vote in the Parliament's environment committee on February 24, according to Bloomberg.
All party co-ordinators will put the proposal before their MEPs next week. Parliamentary sources told Reuters that support was building for the 2018 start date though Liberal and Green MEPs are still pushing for 2017.
Compromise amendments represent an attempt to aggregate changes proposed to a bill by individual MEPs and political groups. They will be voted on before all other amendments.
If the compromise amendments draw wide support among the environment committee MEPs this increases the likelihood that Ivo Belet, the MEP steering the bill through parliament, will request permission from the committee to immediately start negotiations with national governments on the bill, speeding its progress into law rather than first waiting for a vote among the full parliament.
To become law, the MSR must be agreed by both the Parliament and national governments in the Council of Member States.
Environmental campaigners Change Partnership have uploaded a copy of the full compromise amendments here.

How often do you watch a teen drama and not get irked by all the clichés? Very rarely, right? Well, Disney Hotstar's first Indian-American crossover film, Spin, is here to change your perception.
'Spirit Of India,' with this as the first frame of the film, we enter the universe of a 15-year-old Indian-American teenager, Rhea (Avantika Vandanapu). Juggling between her school life, her friends, and her father, Arvind's (Abhay Deol) restaurant, we get introduced to Rhea's world, a world that the director, Manjiri Makhinjay, has created in the most alluring and charming way.
'Spin' Plot Summary
Rhea takes us on a journey full of real and relatable relationships. Our adolescent protagonist has a doting and warm family. She lives with her widower dad, Arvind, her Nani (Maternal grandma), Asha (Meera Syal), and her little brother. Along with a super loving family, she has a bunch of super excited and fun friends, who we meet while they are all working on an upcoming fundraiser, 'Festival Of Colors,' which is beautifully inspired by the Indian festival Holi.
And amidst all the event's chaos comes the 'boy,' Max, with his enchanting blue eyes and gorgeous smile. He introduces Rhea to the world of DJing. Because she is already fascinated by everything related to music, she is immediately drawn towards it. While helping Max compose a track for the fundraiser, she realizes her talent for it, but still a little unsure as she finds herself at a crossroad between her dreams and her responsibilities, not able to figure out which way to choose.
Will Rhea focus on her reignited fervor for music, or is this just another teenage passion that will just fizzle out with time?
Review Analysis
The characters that Manjiri Makhinjay (director) and the writers Carley Steiner and Josh A Cagan have carved are reasonably and thoughtfully fleshed out. None of the scenes look forced, and everything just fits well and as it should be.
Abhay Deol plays the protective yet friendly and liberal father, in a very attentive manner. Meera Syal has just the right amount of Bollywood and poise in her. She is 'filmy' when the script demands, emotional when she needs to, and absolutely elegant when she has to. Avantika brings hope, longing, and beauty alive on the screen.
Even though it's Disney's first crossover film, the team hasn't elucidated this repeatedly and emphatically. It's refreshing to see a group of friends where everyone genuinely cares for one another and that the protagonist is not some diffident who is looking for validation and approval from the school elites. No one has to be the underdog, and the rich and famous are not behaving as the regular 'mean girls.'
The music is exceptional. You might find yourself tapping your feet and grooving with the aesthetically composed tracks. The way they have worked on the detailing and the aesthetics of the music is absolutely meticulous. The vinyl records, the DJ setups, and how the characters enjoy when they are around music will definitely push you to hum along.
This film gives you multiple things to take away without shouting the lessons in your ears and without spoon-feeding the audience. Everything happens organically, and that's the engaging quality that everyone would definitely appreciate.
Streaming on Disney+ Hotstar, you wouldn't want to miss this one. Watch with your kids and enjoy some quality family time.
Spin is a 2021 Dance Film directed by Manjari Makijany. It is a Disney Channel Original Movie.

PA-Sen: Pretty Sneaky Sis
I don't think Ed Rendell is actually trying to get Arlen Specter to switch parties. I don't even think labor is. Rendell and the AFL-CIO have calculated that Specter will remain a Republican for the foreseeable future. The non-stop floating of deals, therefore, undermines Specter among Republican primary voters. Even if the result of the deal is that Specter stays in his party, there are benefits. One, he is tainted by the presumption of "talks" with the other side. Two, in order to counteract this, Specter must offer a full-throated defense of his Republican ideals, which drives him screaming into the arms of an unpopular ideology. It undermines him for both the primary AND the general election.
Rendell is basically this much of a schemer for me to believe that this is the dynamic at work. He's offering Specter an offer he can't accept, but the refusal will only hurt his political chances in 2010. Pretty brilliant.

Background: Digit ratio (2D:4D) is a marker for prenatal sex steroids and a correlate of sporting performance. This association may exist because low 2D:4D is linked to high prenatal levels of testosterone (T) and low oestrogens (E). It was recently suggested that low 2D:4D, and particularly low right-left 2D:4D (or Dr-l), is a marker for T changes in response to physical and aggressive challenges. If correct, this link may in part explain the association between 2D:4D and sports performance. Aims: We tested this hypothesis in adults. Study design: Three experimental treatments were completed using a randomised, cross-over design; (i) cycle sprints plus an aggressive video (S + V), (ii) aggressive video plus cycle sprints (V + S), and (iii) a control session. Subjects: 24 healthy adults (12 men and 12 women). Outcome measures: Salivary T, oestradiol (E2) and cortisol (C) levels were measured on six occasions across each session and pooled for analysis. Results: The S + V treatment was associated with a rise in T and C levels, and Dr-l was significantly and negatively correlated with T and E2 with these effects confined to men. The right 2D:4D and Dr-l were also negatively correlated with the T/C ratio and Dr-l negatively related to the E2/C ratio in men during the S + V treatment. Conclusions: We suggest that the hormonal responses to a challenge are programmed by prenatal levels of T and E with possible links to sporting performance in adulthood.

The ramp between the stern, or the bow, of a ship and the shore is similar in many ways to a land bridge. Many of the design procedures are similar but some aspects are significantly different. However, it is well to keep in mind this role of the ramp as a bridge and not allow it to be surrounded with too much mystique. The paper reviews cargo handling requirements, axial ramps, slewing ramps and the reliability of these systems. The author feels that the system is in transition and in future the ports may provide the ramps instead of being carried with the ships.

While the specific components of particular banking fraud laws vary in between jurisdictions, the term bank fraud refers to actions that require a scheme or artifice, in contrast to bank robbery or theft. For this reason, bank fraud may also be considered a white-collar crime.

In consideration for the agreement to provide the Commitments, the Debtors have agreed to pay the Commitment Parties a put option premium equal to 3.00% of the principal amount of the Exit Facility in the form of New Equity, which New Equity shall be valued in accordance with the plan (the 'Put Option Premium'). In light of the amount of the Exit Facility and the percentage of the Put Option Premium of the amount thereof, the Debtors believe that the Put Option Premium is within the range of similar premiums or commitment fees, if not lower than such range….The Debtors' assumption of the Commitment Letter is an exercise of their sound business judgment. In consultation with their advisors and other interested parties, the Debtors have concluded that the Exit Facility is necessary for the Debtors to exit chapter 11. The Exit Facility is one of the key elements to the viability of the Plan. If the Debtors do not receive the funds derived from the Exit Facility, it will be difficult if not impossible to consummate the Plan. In that case, the Restructuring Support Agreement would no longer be binding, which, at a minimum, will make completing the Debtors' reorganization much more difficult and costly, and at worst, could make the Debtors' reorganization impossible without a viable and accelerated alternative. The funding of the Exit Facility can only be assured by obtaining the commitment of the Commitment Parties to backstop the Exit Facility through assumption of the Commitment Letter."

About Us
We work better as a collective
We all want to do great work but doing that as an individual is limiting. If you're a designer, you never see your work come to life on the web, and as a developer, it's disheartening working with rubbish designs. So we collaborate to produce great work that delights our clients, but our combined culture is what holds us together. It is also what defines us, our work, and the people we seek to serve. So our company culture is our number one priority. As we grow, our culture will become more defined, but for now, we have four core values that embody our culture.
Our Culture is
Defined by these core values
Deliver WOW through service
WOW is such a short, simple word, but it encompasses many things… To WOW, you must differentiate yourself by doing something unconventional or creative. You must do something that's above and beyond what's expected. And whatever you do must have an emotional impact on the receiver. We are not an average company, and our service is not average.
Pursue growth and learning
The internet is an ever-changing landscape. For us, this means constantly keeping ahead of the pace of development. Every day, it seems like we wake up to a new tool in the JAMstack. We take the time to learn these new tools and assess how helpful they are to our customers.

Pelosi Blasts Senate Doc-Fix' Plan
Speaker Nancy Pelosi criticized as "inadequate" a Senate-passed six-month extension in increased Medicare payment rates to doctors, and deemed the measure dead on arrival in the House.
"I see no reason to pass this inadequate bill until we see jobs legislation coming out of the Senate," Pelosi said in a Friday night statement meant to press the Senate to act on a broader package extending expired middle-class tax breaks and jobless benefits. That "extenders" package — which includes a longer extension — has languished in the Senate for two weeks.
On Friday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) struck a deal with Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to break out and pass the six-month extension.
"House Democrats are saying to Republicans in the Senate: Show us the jobs!," Pelosi said.
A House Democratic leadership aide said leaders were committed to retroactively restoring the cuts, which took effect Friday, in whatever legislation ultimately is sent to President Barack Obama.
Pelosi spokesperson Nadeam Elshami said Democratic leaders in the House — which in November passed legislation blocking the payment cut and restructuring the formula on a long-term basis — "remain committed to ensuring that our seniors and veterans receive the care they deserve."

In the deep murky waters of a garden pond Glub the tadpole woke up from his bed of pondweed. His lot on life was swimming around, munching algae and not much else. But the last few weeks were different. Last week he'd grown front legs, and the week before that he'd grown back ones. He stretched his spindly limbs, waggled his long tail and swam up to meet his friends: Slim the newt and Paddles the water boatman.
"Hi guys!" Glub said with a wave. Slim looked up from his breakfast of blanket-weed and water fleas and heard Glub's greeting.
"Good to see you Glub." The newt said with a grin. Glub joined his friends and took a bite out of some algae and gulped it down.
"Do you know…" asked Glub thoughtfully, "ever since I got these legs, I've been wondering what they do? I mean, they help with pulling through the weeds when they get too long but I could easily just eat it…"
"They're for coming out of the water," Slim replied. Glub seemed shocked.
"Well, truthfully I've never been out of the water…" Slim admitted. "Paddles has though…"
"Yeah, I went out there once." Paddles said. "It's not really for me though. Why don't you give it a try?"
Glub swallowed the last of his food and swam up to the surface. With a shudder at what could be out there he lifted his foot out of the water and onto a rock. He then crawled out warily.
"What's it like, Glub?" Slim called from below.
"Not bad." Glub replied back, "In fact, it's quite…Woah!" A cat had snatched him in its jaws by his tail! Glub dangled helplessly as the cat took him away from the pond. Suddenly his tail slipped from the cat's teeth and fell into a cabbage patch. A group of slugs saw the whole thing. Glub got back on his feet and shook the soil off his skin.
"Get out, frog!" a slug said rudely. "This is slug turf!" it added as it spat half eaten cabbage at Glub, who scurried away under a flowerpot.
"This was a bad idea…" Glub lamented. "How am I going to get back?" Just then, the leaves behind him rustled, and a Slowworm poked its head out. Glub was inclined to run.
"Don't worry, I won't eat you." The Slowworm said kindly. "You want to get back to your pond?" Glub nodded yes.
"Follow the sound of running water." The Slowworm said before slipping back into the leaves.
Glub scrambled out of the flowerpot, but the cat had spotted him, and wanted him for dinner! As he hopped towards the pond, the cat gave chase. It got closer until Glub bounded into the pond. The cat did the same, but only fell in the pond with a screech and ran off.
"Glub!" Slim and Paddles exclaimed, "You're back!
"Good to be back," sighed Glub "I don't think I'll be doing that again

Umahi has no right to impose Tinubu on us, Ebonyi group fumes | NN NEWS
The Association of Ebonyi Indigenes Socio-Cultural in Diaspora, a foremost socio-cultural organisation of the state abroad, has lashed out at Governor David Umahi, over his Monday's order to Ebonyi indigenes to vote for the All Progressives Congress Presidential candidate, Ahmed Bola Tinubu to the detriment of his Labour Party counterpart, Dr. Peter Obi, come 2023.
This is as the group observed that Governor Umahi's betrayal was the most unprecedented in Nigeria's political history.
Governor Umahi, had, while inaugurating his new appointed commissioners and aides, on Monday, in Abakaliki, said, "Ebonyi people will vote for APC and not Labour Party".
The governor appears to have come under serious attacks by critical stakeholders within and beyond the South-East geopolitical zone, after the comment and had, on Tuesday, refrained from his earlier comment.
But AEISCID, in a statement signed by its President, Amb. Paschal Oluchukwu, on Tuesday, described Umahi's outburst as disappointing, disgusting and unfortunate, saying he remains the worst betrayal in the country.
The group also slammed the governor for rejecting the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
The statement partly read, "The Lord manor had also selfishly decreed that henceforth, only Ebonyi agenda will be his interest, not Igbo agenda. In the most bizarre manner, Umahi proclaimed that Ohaneze Ndigbo President, Prof. George Obiozor was no longer his President and that he wouldn't have anything in common with the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation.
"In another worrisome media statement credited to the Governor, Umahi had in a near public threat waggishly thundered that Ebonyians will only vote APC's Presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, and all APC candidates in the 2023 elections.
"As in the days of the infamous Roman Emperors in the first Century who often centralized authority only in their own hands using the dual control strategy, Umahi's dictatorship has grown so much that he now assumes Ebonyi and by extension, Igbo nation to be an instrument under his imperial peerage.
"Sincerely and beyond petty party politics and patronage which has remained the bane of Nigeria's political trajectory, this association condemns in its entirety the alarmist betrayal anthems being sang by Umahi and his unpardonable indiscretion to rob his shameful charcoal on dignified men and women of honour in the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohaneze Ndigbo.
"Umahi's unfortunate outbursts could have ordinarily been dismissed as a one of the effects of 'the APC Presidential Post Primary Election Traumatic Disorders', but we have a covenant with Ebonyi people, our beloved Igbo brothers and indeed, Nigerians some of who before now misunderstood the Governor to be a hardworking political 'saint' to continue to keep the records straight and expose as always the evil that has held Ebonyi and its freedoms hostage since 2015."

What I've Been Eating Lately
March 12, 2019
Good-morning all and happy Tuesday!
Today I wanted to take the time to do a daily eats post, in a different way. More of a "What I've Been Eating Lately" post. There are a few reasons for this:
- I haven't been able to consistently take photos of everything I eat, so my days are spotty – ha!
- I've been having similar things most days
- I want to share something with you that comes up for a lot of my intuitive eating clients, and that is… wanting to feel safe eating "healthy" foods and not feeling like you're slipping back into old diet patterns when you do
So let's dive in! But before we do, let me share that these posts are NOT for comparison. If seeing what I eat is triggering to you in any way, skip over the daily eats posts.
These posts are designed to give YOU freedom in your body to listen to what foods sound/feel good for YOU so that you can feel empowered to make your own decisions around food and not have to eat based on what anyone else tells you.
What I've Been Eating Lately
A whole lot of coffee with MCT oil, collagen, and vanilla protein drink (Premier Protein drinks from Costco) used as creamer. If I'm feeling extra fancy I'll add raw cacao, cinnamon, and sometimes even a teaspoon of Kerrygold unsalted butter.
This drink should be called "brain on fire" or "brain on FOCUS." Having this coffee, loaded with these specific proteins and fats makes me focus like you would not believe. That's why I love it. Not to mention that it's creamy GOODNESS once it's all blended up. Yum!
On my coaching days, two of these bad boys in the morning makes me feel like a power coach. Ha! I've been loving my work extra lately and I believe the reason is because I've felt so physically/mentally good while doing it.
I'm in a season with my own intuitive eating journey right now where I'm heavily discovering all sorts of things that make me feel great: face masks, supplements (like this Adrenal Health one), filling coffee as I just shared, and food that makes me feel fantastic.
I've been paying attention, objectively, to how foods react in my body. I talk a lot about this with my clients. Paying attention *objectively* to how foods make us feel. Meaning, no food is good or bad. And before we eat something, we don't need to ASSUME how it's going to make us feel. When we do that, sometimes we can make ourselves feel sick just by what we're thinking. There are studies on this.
Instead, objectively asking how something makes us feel looks like this:
Me: Orders meat quiche + a cappuccino at Hub coffee while working. Loves it! Brags to a friend about how incredible it tastes. Vows to order one every time she's here (exaggeration).
Me: Leaves Hub coffee, gets in the car and thinks "Wow, I could use a nap."
Me: Interesting? Did that quiche make me sleepy?
Me: Next time I'm at Hub I order the crustless meat quiche + coffee while working. It's delicious! It tastes just as good as the first. Works with brain on fire. Leaves Hub coffee and notices on the way home I'm still full of energy.
Revelation: The crust on that quiche, like when I eat a really dense sandwich with loads of bread, makes me feel really sleepy.
Takeaway: I can have whatever I want, when I want it. Next time I'm at Hub I can oder the meat quiche with crust or without. Do I want to feel energized and focused? Am I willing to feel sleepy?
Me: Makes choice, objectively, knowing that whatever I choose is morally OKAY.
Does that make sense you guys? How we can really listen to how foods make us feel objectively? And then make super neutral choices, based on how we're *willing* to feel?
On the days I feel hungry for breakfast I've been having two eggs on a piece of seeded sourdough (so good, from Trader Joe's!) or a Larabar. Any of you remember how LB's used to hurt my stomach? All good now!
For lunches I've been loving things that I can grab and eat straight from the fridge. Either pre-made meals from Trader Joe's like this kale chicken caesar salad or lemon pasta salad. Yum!
Or I've been having food that I've made and set aside into containers myself. Since coaching has been packed full, I've needed easy things to grab, throw in a bowl, and enjoy with about 20 minutes between client sessions.
This last photo is: baked chicken thighs (I realize, for myself, that I much prefer chicken thighs to chicken breasts – so much more flavorful), sweet potato, carrots, and broccoli. Toppings: sriracha, mustard aioli, hummus.
To make this dish: It's SOOO easy and so delicious. I get out three baking sheets/dishes. I heat the oven to 425. Coat each sheet with coconut oil spray. Put the chicken in one, a bag of colored carrots and a bag of broccoli in one, and then two medium/large diced sweet potatoes tossed in coconut oil in the other.
I heat them each for different amounts of times, depending on when each looks cooked through. This is SO easy. I've been doing this while watching the Bachelor on Monday nights or another show with Marco on the weekend.
All of these meals make me feel great, they taste delicious, and they work so well with my schedule, in this season of my life.
To me, this is food freedom: to love what you're eating, have no rules, and to feel empowered to make your own choices based on how you want to feel.
For dinners we've been doing a lot of take out or going to restaurants: Chipotle bowls, make it yourself pizza places, tacos, or going to Sushi with friends. It's been a festive season of spending lots of time with friends. I'll take it!
When we cook at home I've been making curries and bolognese sauce poured over brown rice noodles and/or baked whole sweet potatoes (so yum!). This has also been so simple, filling, hearty and feel good!
Abby girl has been feeling good too 😉 She's been sticking to chicken based products so her tummy doesn't get too sensitive. This week she tragically ran through barbed wire while chasing wild horses (yep!).
Thankfully, all horses and Abby are okay but it made for one frightened dad and dog and vet visit to make sure she was okay. A few scratches and some good rest and she's never been happier. Ha! Life is an adventure with this puppy! I love her SO deeply.
I actually scheduled her first visit to doggy day care in a couple of weeks! The place I'm taking her has boarding for when we go on trips and seriously looks like pet HEAVEN.
She gets to play ALL day. There's someone there 24/7. She gets bathed, groomed, and even trained if we want to pay for training. I can't wait. I feel like a true mom getting excited about doggy-day-care 😉
Finally, snacks have re-entered the Schmidt house. For YEARS I was not feeling snacks. I had GoMacro bars when I was in a pinch, and that was about it.
Lately, I've been loving my Larabars, nuts/chocolate, and cheese/salami snacks. I'm not sure why I didn't crave snacks for a long time and now I'm loving them again, but hey, we're goin' with it!
I hope you enjoyed this post. I hope that it encourages you to listen to your body and I hope that if you're being intentional about listening to your body and moving away from diets that this post shows you that it is BEYOND POSSIBLE for you to eat intuitively AND feel great in your body.
Oh, and a final note because I believe many of you will relate: body image and bikini shopping.
Yesterday I went to Target and tried on bathing suits and let me just share… bathing suit shopping is still to this day my least favorite kind of shopping.
I feel a size XXL is equivalent to an XS in the bathing suit world which means suits are only easily flattering to like 1% of the population (ha!). Anyone agree?
While I was in the dressing room though, there was a revelation. It was the SUITS I didn't like. NOT my BODY that I didn't like. Am I the smallest I've ever been? No! (That is absolutely not my goal.) Even so, I feel the healthiest mentally and in my choices, around food.
I was really peaceful about this whole dressing room experience, even though I liked 0% of the suits I tried on. Why? Because I know that I'm doing all I am willing to do to care for my body and I feel really, really good about where I am mentally. To me, this IS health without obsession.
So wherever my body wants to be physically, is whatever place follows feeling healthy/stable mentally and I'm totally good with that. This is what I want for my clients; this is what I want for YOU. I want to help you get to this place, too. It's possible. I promise. Book a call with me here and I'll help you get there.

The global economy is taking a huge hit from the current world-threatening epidemic, the Coronavirus. The 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak is an ongoing global outbreak of coronavirus disease that has been declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. It is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, first identified in Wuhan, Hubei, China.
The spread of the virus has seen over 100 countries reported laboratory-confirmed cases as of today, more than 80859 people infected and 3,100 people died as of today's WHO reports.
The disease has forced whole cities to shutdown and movement restricted.
A government report shows that Apple sold fewer than half a million smartphones in China in February. The report released on Monday attributes the low sales to the coronavirus outbreak that has halved demand for all such devices.
In an effort to curb the disease from spreading, China placed bans on travel and asked residents to avoid public places in late January, just ahead of China's Lunar New Year festival, a major gift-giving holiday. The restrictions issued in late January has held up into February.
In numerical terms, all mobile phone brands shipped a total of 6.34 million devices in February, down 54.7% from 14 million in the same month last year, data from the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology showed (CAICT).
It is the lowest levels of mobile shipments since 2012 when CAICT started publishing data.
Android device manufacturers including Huawei Technologies and Xiaomi accounted for most of the drop, as they collectively saw shipments decline from 12.72 million units in February 2019 to 5.85 million, the data showed.
Shipments of Apple devices slumped to 494,000, from 1.27 million in February 2019. In January, its shipments had held steady at just over 2 million.
Research firms IDC and Canalys previously forecast that overall smartphone shipments would drop by about 40% in the first quarter as the virus outbreak hit demand and brought supply-chain problems.
Apple's branded stores in China were shut for at least two weeks in February as fears over the coronavirus outbreak mounted.
The company's chief executive, Tim Cook, wrote a letter to investors that month warning it would not meet its initial revenue guidance for the current quarter due to demand issues.

early employment over higher education
The key question, as the economist Irwin Feller has suggested, is whether this time is different: Whether a confluence of factors – a long-term decline in per student state funding, a rise in net tuition, stagnating federal funding of academic research, and the increasing costs of information technology, support services, shifts in student behavior, and compliance with government mandates -- have combined to fundamentally threaten higher education's business models. High school completion includes equivalency credentials, such as the GED. A new position was created for instructorsin 2015. The employment rate increased after 2010, reaching 79 percent in 2019; however, the rate in 2019 was still lower than the rate in 2000. There is an increase in CBE, which allows students to apply their work and life experience to their education.

Competency-based education (CBE) lowers costs and reduces completion time for students. Higher education employment plummets at Pew Trust Meanwhile, public colleges and universities have sustained an even sharper 13.7% drop in employment when October national estimates are compared with pre-pandemic February totals, although the number of jobs lost represents only about half the reduction to K-12 education (which employs far more people). Educational attainment and income are closely correlated, with higher degrees leading to higher salaries. Many current debates have a long, contentious history. The sad fact is that most institutions were not designed with non-traditional students in mind. It involved a "mass production," "one-size-fits-all" paradigm, which assumed that all students should acquire the same information at the same pace, and a "transmission" model of instruction, in which a content expert delivered a body of information to passive students. 0000002260 00000 n Even if your career path seems hazy, the data are clear: More education leads to better prospects for earnings and employment. Watching these six trends and how they develop over time will be interesting. Higher education was preparing students for their class position and future roles: Filling out forms. A master instructor's position can be set up as a position assisting the students' practical training, for those with at least ten years' professional and practical work experience. Fraternities and sororities, competitive athletics, literary and debating societies and other groups were originally established and run by students themselves. As a homeschooler beginning to approach higher education, be sure to start early. Students from China, India, Saudi Arabia, and South Korea account for more than 50 percent of students who go abroad to earn their degree, with China as the largest source.
