Manufacturing Location vs Costings across multiple locations
We have recently (5 mths) gone live on Netsuite.
Its starting to be apparent that some settings/decisions (with good intentions) made may not have had the best outcomes for us.
We have 5 locations in our entity. Only 1 of which is a manufacturing unit.
However due to the way our items / costing methods were set up (we are using standard costing) – we need to have the BOMs / Routings set up for all locations – so that the correct standard cost prices are showing identical for all locations.
This means that when a Make to Order (special work order item = True) comes into a location that is not the manufacturing unit – it will create the WO on that non-manufacturing unit – purely due to the fact the BOM and routings are available there…
Is there a way to configure our assemblies so that:
- We go back to having one manufacturing location only
- have the resulting standard costs applied to ALL locations within the entity.
As for the first item above – by removing the BOMs and Routings from the non-manufacturing locations, that should solve that issue … however do want the standard cost of the item at the manufacturing unit to be the standard cost for ALL the locations.
If we removed the bom and routings from the other locations – then currently the standard cost price would be 0 – which is not ideal….

Quick Take
The IWC Portuguiser chronograph is one of the best loved, and least changed, designs in IWC's portfolio. Originally produced in the 1990s, the Portugieser chronographs have generally relied on supplied calibers which were retuned by IWC – first Valjoux movements, and more recently Sellita calibers. In-house chronograph calibers have been used before in Portugieser chronographs, but these have used 89000 series chronograph movements, which came in slightly larger cases, and which had the distinctive hour and minute totalizers characteristic of that family of chronographs, located at 12:00. IWC has just announced that the original classic design will now use the 69000 series of chronograph movements, and these will come in at a lower price than the 89000-series equipped Portugieser chronographs.
The watches, which are available now, have a retail price of $7,950 and will be available in 2 colorways in 18k 5N red gold, with silver or black dials, and stainless steel, with silver, blue, or black dials (the silver dial models come with either gold or blue hands and hour markers).
Initial Thoughts
The introduction of the caliber 69355 to the classic Portugieser lineup feels like pretty good news to me – the outsourced movement never particularly bothered me in the original, but at the same time, the DNA of IWC is I think more that of a manufacture than an établisseur (a company that cases outsourced movements) so it's great to see an in-house movement being deployed in this design – this is actually the first time a 69000-series movement has ever been used in this case, with the notable exception of the IWC Portugieser Chronograph Edition 150 Years, which was released in 2018.
I've always had a soft spot for the classic Portugieser chronograph – in its original form it's always felt to me like one of those moments when a design really gets it right and there is nothing to add or take away which could improve on matters. One of the common complaints, by the way, about watches with a number six which is cut off by the small seconds subdial is that this is some breed of lazy decision making; the fact is that it is a feature of literally millions of wrist and pocket watches and can be found on everything from mid-19th century American pocket watches, to a Dufour simplicity.
The new movement means that there is now a less expensive Portugieser chronograph with an in-house movement – the in-house caliber 89361 Portugieser chronographs currently list for $12,100 in steel, versus $7950 for the new models with caliber 69355.
The Portugieser Chronograph ref. 3714, with the outsourced movement, has been a source of unalloyed horological pleasure for many years (it was one of the first watches I ever wrote about for HODINKEE, when I joined the company in 2015) and with the added charm of an in-house movement, the new ref. 3716 looks to be a source of pleasure for many years to come.

Clip Finder adware (Free Instructions)
Clip Finder adware Removal Guide
What is Clip Finder adware?
Clip Finder – a worthless browser extension that could endanger your safety and privacy
The adware app can be downloaded from its official website, but you could also get it via software bundles.
Clip Finder is categorized as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) due to many of its shady features. It's advertised as a useful addition to your browser to find a wanted video. Such a service makes no sense as you can find any clip by going to Youtube, Vimeo, or other sources and looking for the desired video there.
If the article's culprit is installed on your device, you will see an abnormal amount of ads when browsing your favorite websites. These ads can even cover the whole browser window. They can come in various forms, from pop-ups to in-text hyperlinks and banners.
The worst thing is that the Clip Finder ads originate from a different source than the sites your visiting. That means that the adverts might be dangerous as PUP developers don't care what they promote as far as they get paid for doing it. Please don't interact with them in any way.
Otherwise, you might be redirected to various shady websites which would try to trick you into revealing your personal details (full name, serial security number, home address, email, credit card info, etc.), try to infect your devices with severe malware,[1] push to install additional PUPs, involve you in tech support scams, and so on.
As you can see, you must remove Clip Finder immediately as it could endanger both you and your device. This article contains the adware's analysis, its removal techniques, system repair options, and browser cleaning instructions. Please stick to the illustrated instructions compiled by our IT expert team so you could enjoy your browsing sessions as before.
name | Clip Finder |
Type | Adware, potentially unwanted program, redirect virus |
Symptoms of infections | Unknow browser plugins and extensions installed without your direct consent; more than usual ads when visiting favorite websites; browser performance issues; slower internet connection |
Risks | Installation of additional PUPs, malware infections, privacy issues |
Distribution | Official page, software bundles |
Elimination | Remove all suspicious files and apps from your device by running a scan with a trustworthy anti-malware tool |
System health | Repair virus damage by performing system diagnostics with the FortectIntego optimization software |
Remove adware from your device with reputable security software to ensure its complete termination
The Clip Finder can be installed on your device as a browser extension or an app. This chapter will help you to remove it if it's installed as the latter. There are two options to complete this process – automatic and manual. The automatic option consists of downloading the Malwarebytes or similar trustworthy anti-malware software and performing a full system scan with it.
It's time-saving and ensures that the potentially unwanted program is completely removed once and for all. While performing the manual removal, some files or entries might get overlooked, resulting in infection renewal. It's your choice, so choose the method that suits you most.
But please note that by using reputable security software such as the SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner, you can rest assured that no PUPs will ever enter your machine unnoticed, of course, if you keep its real-time protection on and frequently update the virus definitions database with the latest signatures.
Nonetheless, if you decide to remove Clip Finder manually, we'll help you do that by providing illustrated instructions. Please be advised that it could be installed under a different name. Therefore look for any suspicious apps that were recently installed on your infected device:
- Enter Control Panel into Windows search box and hit Enter or click on the search result.
- Under Programs, select Uninstall a program.
- From the list, find the entry of the suspicious program.
- Right-click on the application and select Uninstall.
- If User Account Control shows up, click Yes.
- Wait till the uninstallation process is complete and click OK.
Most PUPs are installed unknowingly when installing apps downloaded from third-party software vendors. They use a technique called software bundling[2] to distribute Clip Finder adware and other pesky cyberthreats and earn a few additional dollars by doing that. There are three options to avoid them.
Download all software from legitimate providers or straight from the developers; choose the Advanced/Custom installation modes instead of the Quick/Standard and deselect all additional apps from installation; acquire a reputable security tool that will identify PUPs and prevent you from installing them.
Directions to remove Clip Finder extension from your infected browsers
This chapter will help you to clean up your browsers from all suspicious extensions. Unfortunately, there are no tools that can help do that, but if you find any that claim to determine malicious extensions, they're malicious themselves; thus, please don't use them.
Clip Finder extension must be removed as it can gather your browsing-related information (IP addresses, geolocation, visited sites, clicked links, etc.) and use this information to customize advertisements specifically for you, making them almost irresistible.
As mentioned before, the displayed ads might lead to dangerous sites. The ad might say that there's an amazing deal on a brand new TV or a toaster, but by clicking it, you could be redirected to an affiliated website with gambling, porn, push notification viruses, tech support scams, and other hazardous content.
Therefore, we do not recommend using Clip Finder, and here's how you remove its extension from Google Chrome browsers:
- Open Google Chrome, click on the menu (three vertical dots at the top-right corner) and select More tools > Extensions.
- In the newly opened window, you will see all the installed extensions. Uninstall all the suspicious plugins that might be related to the unwanted program by clicking Remove.
If you have a Mozilla Firefox browser installed on your device, you must also remove the hazardous extension from it. The process is fairly similar to the one of Google Chrome, but you can still use our provided details, so there are no hiccups, and the removal is done quickly and effortlessly:
- Open Mozilla Firefox browser and click on the Menu (three horizontal lines at the top-right of the window).
- Select Add-ons.
- In here, select the unwanted plugin and click Remove.
And last but not least – the default browser of all Windows OS – MS Edge. It's also very susceptible to various cyber infections; thus, check if Clip Finder is not installed on it. If you find it, remove it without hesitation. Here's how to look suspicious extensions on it:
- Select Menu (three horizontal dots at the top-right of the browser window) and pick Extensions.
- From the list, pick the extension and click on the Gear icon.
- Click on Uninstall at the bottom.
Delete tracking cookies and repair affected system directories
The header says it all. The last chapter of Clip Finder removal consists of running system diagnostics to take out the trash and resolve any system irregularities that the potentially unwanted program may have caused. You could delete tracking cookies manually, but if you have multiple browsers, that could take a considerable amount of time.
That's why we highly recommend entrusting this task to the FortectIntego PC repair tool. It's also recommended by cybersecurity experts from Europe[3] because it's capable of doing so much more. A full system scan with this trustworthy system tool will reveal all system irregularities such as modified registry values and keys, corrupted system files, broken DLLs, and so on.
By downloading and using its free version, you can fix the found inconsistencies one by one, whereas the licensed version would fix all system-related issues automatically. It's essential to use such software as it will ensure that your device runs smoothly and doesn't exhibit any odd behavior.
How to prevent from getting adware
Do not let government spy on you
The government has many issues in regards to tracking users' data and spying on citizens, so you should take this into consideration and learn more about shady information gathering practices. Avoid any unwanted government tracking or spying by going totally anonymous on the internet.
You can choose a different location when you go online and access any material you want without particular content restrictions. You can easily enjoy internet connection without any risks of being hacked by using Private Internet Access VPN.
Control the information that can be accessed by government any other unwanted party and surf online without being spied on. Even if you are not involved in illegal activities or trust your selection of services, platforms, be suspicious for your own security and take precautionary measures by using the VPN service.
Backup files for the later use, in case of the malware attack
Computer users can suffer from data losses due to cyber infections or their own faulty doings. Ransomware can encrypt and hold files hostage, while unforeseen power cuts might cause a loss of important documents. If you have proper up-to-date backups, you can easily recover after such an incident and get back to work. It is also equally important to update backups on a regular basis so that the newest information remains intact – you can set this process to be performed automatically.
When you have the previous version of every important document or project you can avoid frustration and breakdowns. It comes in handy when malware strikes out of nowhere. Use Data Recovery Pro for the data restoration process.

Joel McHale Underwear Photos in Community. Netflix brought back community on our TV screens and we must say that we are finding a new appreciation for the series. We liked it the first time around but we did not really pay a close attention to the nuances of the show and the many serious subjects it tackles.
This time, when we watched it binge-style, we realized why lots of people — like our friend Kevin — is putting Community in their number one TV sitcoms.
Anyhoo, because we are partly about male celebs and their undies, here are additional images of Joel in his boxer shorts which we screencapped from the series.
We also see him rocking his boxer briefs during the Modern Warfare paintball episode where he finally bump uglies with Britta.
Who says you can't work out in your striped boxer briefs? Certainly not Jeff Winger.
By the way, we mentioned in our earlier post that Joel is married but it's only now that we learned the lucky lady. Her name is Sarah Williams McHale. Apparently, the two were college sweethearts who tied the knot back in 1996. Here are photos of the couple, who are now proud parents to two children, including one from their wedding day:
Joel McHale Underwear and Shirtless Photos in Community (21 May 2017). Today in male celebrity underwear, we bring you these underwear photos of one of our favorite comics, Joel McHale. We always suspected that the host of The Soup is hiding a gorgeous body underneath his tailored suits.
Well, suspicions confirmed. Thanks to the powers-that-be of Joel's NBC sitcom. Now, would it be too much to ask the producers of Community to always have our Joel McHale shoot scenes in his underwear. Please, please NBC, we want more scenes like these from our hunky funnyman.
Joel McHale Underwear Photos Update. This update is for those of you who are looking for more Joel McHale underwear photos. He's really a boxers kind of guy, isn't he?
But he likes him his boxer briefs too.
Will we ever see him wear a pair of skimpy briefs? Unlikely.
Dress Like Joel McHale: The Skinny Tie Look (26 August 2010). You've seen Joel McHale's underwear, now let's check out the funny guy and his favorite tie: the skinny tie. So if you are wondering whether skinny ties are still in fashion, the answer is a very big yes. Why, you ask? Because Joel McHale wears them.
If Joel wears them then they must be "in" style, is our rule here at Famewatcher.
Damn! This man is lethal: he's cute and funny and very shaggable. No wonder a lot of you are googling "Joel McHale underwear".
Joel McHale Denim Fashion Watch (18 July 2009). For those of you who are wondering whether one of our favorite comic/TV host Joel McHale is gay, maybe this photo will give us the answer?
In an earlier post, we said that Joel is definitely not ghey because he is not into body waxing which, according to our friend Kevin, is all the rage in the ghey community these days. But then some of you commented that ghey dudes actually leave their chest hair untrimmed and that not all ghey guys are having their chest hair waxed or shaved or whatever hair removal methods they do to get rid of unwanted hair.
So maybe Joel is, you know, a friend of Dorothy after all?
Nah, it's unlikely coz he's got a wife and a kid. Still, its not hard to imagine him as one. After all, look at him in the above photo going all ghey for our benefit. We wonder if his frenemy Ryan Seacrest is man enough to pull off something like that. Anyways, Joel apparently has a "big gay following" according to this interview with Popwrap:
You also have a huge ghey following. Do you chock that up to Rainbow Bright?
Joel: How can Rainbow Bright generate a ghey following? That seems shocking! Hmm, what do I think of my huge gay following? I did a lot of musicals in high school, I shop at International Male, I drive a Subaru. All I have to say is, I am glad they like me because they're the richest group in America – and the cleanest. Thank God for them, they are powerful! I would like to be a maid in the Ghey Mafia. I'm looking to have a huge bisexual following actually!
Hehe. Go, Joel McHale!

Shenmue 3 Kickstarter backers will not receive Pre-order/Deluxe Ed. content
Kickstarter backers for the upcoming, and long-awaited, Shenmue 3 have been hit by another wave of bad news as developer Ys Net have confirmed only those who pre-purchase the standard or the deluxe edition at retail receive any bonuses.
The news came from user Chairmanchuck on the forums of ResetEra, who inquired about what bonuses Kickstarter backers can expect to receive for their backing. He then posted the response:
We apologize for the long delay in responding. Your feedback is appreciated and we will look into having your noted points in future updates.
Standard and deluxe versions released through retail sales are not affiliated with the crowdfunding campaign, so will not be included with backer pledges, however, they will be available for sale separately. Kickstarter Backers will receive the Kickstarter version, Slacker Backers will receive the Slacker Backer version. Both have unique content respective to their versions not available in the retail versions.
A season pass is not included.
Trial version release date info has yet to be confirmed and will be announced in the updates when details are available. You will be receiving your trial trial version, but we must ask for your patience for a little longer.
There will be more information following in the days ahead concerning updates.
It's another blow to dedicated fans who took the time and money to back the game. The run-up to the release of Shenmue 3 has been somewhat tumultuous with the changes happening to what backers are going to receive. Many were already not happy regarding a Steam key being promised for PC users right up until E3 when series creator Yu Suzuki confirmed during the PC Gaming Conference that the game would be exclusive to the Epic Games Store (EGS).
They then initially refused to offer refunds to backers, though since then Epic has been offering returns for those not wanting an EGS key. This new information comes as an added blow and post-launch content are likely to require a purchase if backers wanted more content from the game.
The game is due to release on November 19th.

Soak the rich, Obama!
The U.S. 1 percent has had it good for too long.
Author: Benjamin Woolhead
President Barack Obama's points on increasing taxation for the rich and the big corporations in his State of the Union Address were met with noticeably less enthusiasm than his comments about continuing the War on Terror. The many more members of Congress who remained in their seats contrasted with the small group of enthusiastic Democratic Party members applauding in the front row. There's just something about tax increases on the rich that seems to make people who live in the stronghold of cutthroat capitalism uncomfortable.
Whenever the discussion begins to turn to increasing taxes on the rich, some people begin to get nervous. The objections to a tax system that does more than level the playing field usually takes one of three forms. First, people will argue that if we tax the rich and the corporations too much, they'll just move their wealth elsewhere. While that may be true of some, there are many more that would remain at home, willing to give more for the benefit of the country that has given them all they have. Besides, lower taxes certainly haven't stopped corporations from moving their jobs abroad anyway, so why do we keep pretending they keep jobs at home?
The argument might then move to one of innovation and motivation. People won't work as hard, they say, and won't have the drive to innovate if they know they can't make as much money. Frankly, that's just ignorant. Do we really think that true progress and innovation has been driven by greed? Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs; all of these people were driven more by their passion for what they did than their desire for money. The greatest innovations of our time have been driven by humanity's desire to discover, not by greed. Greed gives us cheaply made consumables, not innovation.
Finally, if the other avenues of argument fail, the anti-taxation-of-the-rich crowd often resorts to calling you a 'communist'. Their voices drip with accusation, as if we are back in 1957 and you are some Soviet spy trying to destroy freedom and blow up Lady Liberty.
A look at historical tax rates should shed some light on the actual facts of higher taxation. For comparison, keep in mind that today the highest tax bracket for individuals has been sitting around 35 per cent from 2003-13, according to the Tax Foundation. Few people would argue that the 1950s and 60s were the golden age of the American economy, and of the American dream. It may surprise you to learn that those were the years when taxes were at their highest. From 1944 until 1963, the highest tax brackets in the U.S. were over 90 per cent. Yet those years showed unrivaled prosperity for the common man and incredible innovation. The nation as a whole was prosperous and the economy was booming.
Looking at the other side of the tax story brings us to the Great Depression, which began in 1930. It was preceded by a period of massive cuts in taxes on the rich. In 1921, the highest tax bracket was 73 per cent. It was then progressively changed until, in 1925, it was down to 25 per cent. It remained at this level until after the collapse of 1930.
There are always other factors involved, but instead of denying the connections between taxes and true national prosperity, we need to realize that inequality is an amplifier of other conditions that create hardship and make the world a worse place to live for the majority. We need to get past the propaganda and look at the facts: higher taxes on the wealthy and on big corporations create a better society and lead to national prosperity. Let's not let the greedy lie to us so that they can save their own skin.

When I came to Los Angeles in 1970, I couldn't figure it out. The city and its environs were exhaustingly big and complicated. Eventually, I saw it's just a place of distinctive neighborhoods. If I learned about L.A. neighborhood by neighborhood, I'd understand the city.
That experience came back to me recently when I visited Crosstown, a non-profit news organization run out of the USC Annenberg School of Journalism, in cooperation with the Integrated Media Systems Center at the university's Viterbi School of Engineering and mappers from SC's Spatial Sciences Institute.
It is a fascinating effort to dig into L.A., neighborhood by neighborhood, with data, computer science, mapping and journalistic curiosity.
The Crosstown staff collects statistics from the many public agencies that comprise local government in the Los Angeles basin. The stats are scattered around the county, unavailable except for those who have the time and skill to root through them. Crosstown makes available in one spot the numbers on crime, traffic, air quality, schools, mass transit and other functions of local government.
"We want to be able to connect people to their neighborhood, we want to make them feel part of their neighborhood," USC journalism professor Gabriel Kahn, publisher and editor of Crosstown, told me. As Crosstown's website explained it, "We want you to use it to hold local government accountable and to help people make choices about where to live, work or send your kids to school." The website is xtown.la.
Crosstown uses intricate information-gathering methods. Traffic data comes from 14,000 sensors embedded in 5,400 miles of Los Angeles County freeways and roads. In addition, sensors in every bus and train report their locations every 30 seconds. USC Viterbi engineers built a system to process this trove of information.
Information such as this has permitted Crosstown to reveal facts about Los Angeles traffic that could influence policy. For example, it takes an hour to travel from Santa Clarita to downtown Los Angeles, compared to 46 minutes four years ago. This is the sort of data--compared to gossip and gut feelings--that should shape debate over more transit lines, freeway and street modification, limits on driving and eventual elimination of gas-fueled vehicles, all part of the fight against air pollution and the climate change it helps cause.
Debate over climate change could also be influenced by Crosstown's almost one-year-long, hour-by-hour study of pollution in 251 neighborhoods, cities and towns in Los Angeles County.
How will these neighborhood-by-neighborhood pollution studies influence public policy?
On the local level, they could show Angelenos exactly how lousy their air and traffic is. When they or their neighborhood groups complain to city hall or their neighborhood councils, they will be armed with enough information to demolish bureaucratic excuses and frighten their elected representatives into action. From this could come grassroots movements for the fight against climate change, locally and throughout the state.
I've seen this happen before, in the pre-computer days. Activists, gathering data from documents by hand, saw beyond their own neighborhoods and joined together in powerful movements. Their work saved the Santa Monica Mountains from further development and created the coastal commission. If the Crosstown community expands and more Angelenos participate, receiving and sharing data, they could comprise the latest chapter in the story of saving the Southland.

Haha! It is fantastic to see work at this stage, and a bit bizzare to see it sitting alone on a banding wheel, a bit surreal...

Well y'all, as most of you know, I've been on vacation this week. I have really been enjoying myself spending some great time with my brother and his family.
I'm a little curious how all of you do with your band when you're on vacation. Specifically, the first vacation you took after being banded if you can remember it. This has been the week from hell bandwise for me. I have not been able to keep hardly anything down. Last night I was so sick that all that was coming up was stomach acid at about 3:00 am. Which I know this was coming from below my band. Way beyond a PB here.
Now, I've read on a few of blogs that when you travel, your band tightens up a little bit and you have some issues keeping food down. Also, when my mom was first banded and she flew out here she couldn't keep food down. She said she was sick almost every meal. I say this because realistically, she's going to have the most similar issues/results that I do.
I'm terrified that I've slipped my band. When I go for my next appointment I think I'm going to do a barium swallow to make sure that it didn't slip. Even if things get back to normal I think I'm still going to do it.
I seem to always have this feeling that I'm very full or something is stuck. I know that when we PB or throw up it causes us to have some swelling. I'm hoping this is the main issue that I'm having. The tightness of being on vacation as well as the swelling from being sick.
So, I'm looking for some input here. How do you guys do when you're on vacation? And, if you can remember the first vacation you went on after being banded it would benenficial to me as well. I just want to make sure that what's going on is somewhat normal. Make no mistake though, I hate this. I think the only thing that I've kept down this week was a few pieces of lunchmeat and some grape juice.
Let me also say that I'm not doing/eating anything out of the ordinary. And I KNOW I'm not eating too much because I have to throw it up after just a few bites. Less than I would eat normally. So, like I said, let me have it guys. Let me know what you think or the experiences that you've had with this. I'm looking for any input or suggestions.
I've also read that someone that was having issues called her bariatric doc and he said she needed to get an unfill immediately. That really isn't an option for me because I'm in a small-ish town in Ohio. And I'm going home tomorrow. Hopefully things will be back to normal. I might call them when I get home and see what they want me to do because there is a bariatric doc where I live so that would be an option for me at that time.
Silver lining........I've lost about 8 pounds this week. *shrug*

I'm watching the trends evolve, and I'm here to tell you, the straight denim trend is finally hitting mainstream. What's more, it's here to stay for a while.
Of course, we should all wear what looks best on us, and I'm not kicking my skinnies to the curb, but I'm going to try to integrating this style into my outfits more as we head into spring.
I've been analyzing others who are wearing this style, and there are a few factors to help make crop straight jeans work for you.
#1. Proper Length is Key
Everyone is different, but at 5'5″, I personally need a 25″ or 26″ inseam. Any longer, and it looks like I'm wearing floods. My ankle-length skinnies are typically 27 or 28″, for reference.
It's hard to find a 25″ inseam, but 26″ is pretty popular.
The Agolde mid rise straight jeans I'm wearing in this post have a 26″ inseam. They're almost ankle-length on me, but I think they work. I just have to work a little harder to make sure my shoes work with them and not against them.
Also notice that my jeans are not super wide. Some girls can get away with that, but I like a slimmer fit. These have an 12″ leg opening, so not a whole lot wider than my skinnies, which usually are 10″.
Incidentally, these jeans are amazing! They are thick and super soft and hug the body in all the right places. Best of all, they have great shape retention and don't bag out as you wear them. They're TTS, or size up if in between; I have the 29.
#2. Choose the Right Shoe
As far as shoes are concerned, I like sock booties with crop jeans in the winter because you can wear heavy socks, and no skin is exposed.
Sock booties have a high shaft and fit very close to the foot, so they keep the ankle area slender, which helps offset the extra width of the straight-cut jeans.
A pointed toe also helps keep you looking long and lean as well.
Style Tip: Your jeans should extend over the sock booties by at least an inch, so when you sit, you still get good coverage.
I recently purchased these Jeffrey Campbell Siren booties, and I love them. They have a padded footbed, and the neoprene material is super soft against the rest of the foot as well, and the shaft is soft and flexible too so they don't rub you raw if you aren't wearing tall socks.
These have a 3.5″ heel, but I find them very comfortable. Here's a lower heel option, and a budget option.
You can also wear a more traditional bootie with a mid-height shaft, and in this case, they look best when the jeans just barely meet the top of the boot, but don't "buckle". That means, you may need an even shorter inseam, or you'll need to cuff.
I recently ordered these Goodthreads crop straight jeans from Amazon, and they have a shorter inseam than the Agolde, even though it says 26″ online.
They work pretty well with my Marc Fisher Chelsea boots, whereas the Agolde are a little too long for them.
This is the Agolde…see how the jeans get caught on the back of the boot? (They do this on the front too.)
And here's the Goodthreads jeans with the same boots…they just barely meet the top of the boot. This is a much better combination.
Another shoe that I like with straight crop jeans is a loafer mule.
These work because they expose a few inches of skin at the ankle, which is also slimming, and they usually have more of a pointed toe, which helps elongate the line of the leg.
Of course, if it is super cold where you are, you may have to wait a few months to wear this look, but I wanted to show a non-boot option.
Regular loafers work too, but I find the mule more feminine somehow, and a little more fashion-forward. I know some of you don't like them, but if you do, they're a great option, especially as we head into spring.
You can do a sneaker for a more casual look, just make sure the jeans are short enough to expose a few inches of skin in the ankle area. I like the length of the Goodthreads with sneakers.
#3. Your Top Matters
Your top is the other crucial piece to the puzzle when wearing crop jeans. Most people talk about what shoes to wear with crop jeans, but I rarely see them address the top!
I think this has been the most frustrating part of the crop jeans trend for me. I can't just throw on any sweater in my closet with them and have it look right. Here's why:
You are shortening the line of the leg by wearing shorter pants, so to keep a proper balance (1/3 to 2/3 is ideal) you have to also shorten your top.
This means tucked in, or at least a front-tuck.
The sweater I'm wearing here is already on the shorter side, and it fits fairly close to the body, but I still gave it a front-tuck. It helps that it is a thinner knit as well. (Unfortunately, it's old and no longer linkable, but this is why sweater styles are getting shorter.)
If you're busty, like me, tucking isn't always the best look, so it takes a lot of trial and error to find the right combination of tops, jeans, and footwear to make it work.
Funny thing, though. When skinny jeans started to get popular, I felt the same way about them. It will get easier the more we play around with this silhouette.
I completed the look by adding my black leather jacket.
This is also an older piece, and therefore unlink-able, but I really like the front center zip as opposed to the asymmetrical zip and large lapels that is common with so many moto style jackets.
Not that I never wear that style, but it's hard to find ones that don't make me look top-heavy. This one is a good option (same brand as mine, butter soft leather!) And I like the looks of this one and this one as well.
Finally, I added a belt and a red bag to complete the look.
I really love this outfit, what do you think?
Styling Straight Crop Jeans
I played around with both the Agolde and Goodthreads cropped straight jeans one afternoon this week, and here are some more outfits I came up with…
Here's one that does NOT work. The shoes are great, but the sweater is too long, and it's awkward front-tucked with the split hem.
This sweater is a thinner knit, and it's a little on the cropped side, and I feel like it works. Unfortunately, it's sold out.
I like it even better with a front-tuck, but it could use a belt.
This one works okay too, with the Siren booties and Naadam scoop sweater. (This sweater finally went on sale! I'm wearing a small.)
This is another sold-out sweater, but because it's cropped, it works really well with the same jeans and boots.
And this is cute too, with the loafer mules and my Everlane varsity cardigan.
See how the shorter sweaters in the thinner knits keep the overall look balanced?
Here's me trying the look we photographed above… sometimes I think it's nice to see the mirror selfie as well.
And then I tried a silky tank top with a leather jacket on top. I like this for date night!
Taking it more casual, this hooded sweater is cropped and boxy, which works with the jeans, and I added my white Vejas.
This look would be better if the jeans were an inch shorter, so I tried a cuff, and I also gave the sweater a front-tuck.
Here's another casual look, with different sneakers and a sweatshirt that's on the thinner side.
And un-cuffed…
And then I have a couple with the Goodthreads jeans.
I ordered two colors — the darker pair is the 28, and the lighter pair is the 29. The 29 is more comfortable, but the 28 fits, and if they bag out any, it might be the better choice. I still need to wear them around the house and see how they do.
This sweater (more sizes here) is on the chunkier side, but I happened to have it on already, so I tried it first with the darker wash jeans and loafer mules. I like it!
And here are a few more shots of the striped hoodie with the light wash Goodthreads jeans.
As an aside, this hoodie is AMAZING, you guys. Super soft inside and out, a nice substantial fabric — not super thick, but not thin either — and the fit is cute too. Very good quality for Amazon, and I'm definitely keeping it!
I love this look for casual weekend outdoor events in the springtime.
I realize I'm breaking my own rule here with a longer top, but because everything is light — the light grey/white top, light jeans, light shoes (and my winter-white skin, haha!) there is nothing to break up the look, and I think it works fine.

The National Digital Inclusion Alliance defines digital equity as "a condition in which all individuals and communities have the information technology capacity needed for full participation in society, democracy, and economy. Digital Equity is necessary for civic and cultural participation, employment, lifelong learning, and access to essential services (National Digital Inclusion Alliance, 2019). When higher education pivoted to online learning in March 2020, the inequities in access to online learning came to the forefront. Research conducted pre-pandemic shows that digital equity in higher education is an ongoing global problem. Digital Equity goes beyond just having access to hardware, software, and the internet. It also includes access to meaningful, high-quality, and culturally relevant digital content. Students also need access to instructors with knowledge of using digital tools and resources. As early as 2004, researchers were concerned about how the digital divide would impact students in four areas: educational advantages, future employment and earnings, opportunities for social and civic involvement, and equity and civil rights issues (Willems et al., 2019). These concerns go to the heart of the definition of digital equity. So how did the pandemic impact digital equity? A study completed in April 2020 concludes that students' ability to succeed in a remote-learning environment differs significantly by income levels. Over 60 percent of students from lower-income households report not getting the necessary equipment for remote learning. Almost 35 percent of students from low-income families do not have reliable internet access. Over 55 percent say their home environment does not support remote learning (Kim et al., 2020). I saw the issue of digital equity first-hand with our students at the School of Media and Public Affairs. Students in the undergraduate Journalism and Mass Communication program must take two video production courses to graduate. These courses are usually taught in a computer lab using the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite. There is an additional computer lab that students can operate 24/7, equipped with all the hardware and software they need to complete video and multimedia production projects. As you can imagine, when the university shifted to online learning, and the computer labs were closed, access to the appropriate hardware and software for those production classes became a problem. Many students relied on the computer labs because the operating systems on the computers were designed to run the Adobe Creative Cloud suite and their personal computers were not. This was an issue across the university, with many students relying on computer labs in the library and other areas to complete assignments and have internet access. The lack of technical support was another issue for students. In June 2020, GW eliminated over 300 staff positions, including the dedicated IT teams for each department. As a result, students did not have the support they needed when they had technical issues in their online learning experience. Faculty throughout the university were having difficulty pivoting to online learning. They had both technological and pedagogical issues. Many faculty didn't understand how the software systems worked or how to transition the learning experience online. Equity and inclusion were an afterthought. The university provided training for faculty on how to use Canvas to teach online the week before the campus shut down. Unfortunately, the training was not required, and many faculty did not participate. How do we fix this? Hardware/Software/Internet In September 2020, the university created a GW Cares program that was to be used by students for financial needs. Money for the program came from the federal government in the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF). HEERF provided emergency funding for students and institutional grants for costs associated with significant changes to the delivery of instruction due to the Coronavirus. This included everything from money for rent to cash for a laptop or internet access. SMPA also created a separate fund specific to SMPA students. Money for this fund was raised through alumni and a generous faculty member. Over $500,000 was raised and distributed to SMPA students in 2020 and 2021. This was in addition to any financial aid students received from the university. This was a temporary fix to a more significant problem. As GW continues to grow its online programming, more permanent solutions need to be developed to address these issues. One suggestion is for incoming students virtual and in-person to receive a computer robust enough to run the programs necessary for their coursework. The cost would be covered by using restricted endowment funds to ensure that all students have the appropriate hardware and software to succeed. Online students would receive internet hotspots for the duration of their coursework. These endowments are restricted funds for goods or services that directly impact students. In 2020, Bowie State University provided free laptops to incoming first-year students, transfer students, and returning sophomores in need. They also offered internet hotspots for any students who needed them. The university had a laptop loaner program for Juniors and Seniors in need. Other universities instituted similar programs across the country. Offering tech support 24/7 to online learners is necessary for students to have a successful experience with online learning. This could be provided in-house or outsourced to the various companies that have started offering these services. Pre-pandemic, the University of Central Florida began offering online tech help when students needed it most based on helpdesk tickets. Ball State University staffs their helpdesk during the day and contracts an outside company to provide support after 7 pm. Faculty Training/Cultural Relevant Content GW's Office for Diversity, Equity, and Community Engagement created a webpage in August 2020 for faculty on how to maintain equity and inclusion in virtual learning. The webpage has several links to outside resources. This was a good start but did not go far enough. Creating a required training module for all faculty teaching online is a better solution. This training should include the technical requirements to teach online and how to develop culturally relevant meaningful content. Another is providing faculty with other faculty mentors who are experts in online learning. Using open education resources is a great way to share and exchange digital content with everyone. The University of Maryland Global Campus gives students access to no-cost digital resources that have replaced textbooks in all their online courses. These solutions will take time and additional resources to ensure that all students have digital equity in their learning experience. Bowie State University. (2020).

The No Nonsense Group offers Pay-Per-Click (PPC) or Google AdWords to clients who wish to advertise their business through search and display.
In a nutshell, when someone searches 'wood look flooring', a flooring reseller or vinyl manufacturer would want Google to put an advert at the top of the results page. This gives a business the opportunity to show their advert and harness a click to go to their website or specific page.
For Google Display, Google shows text or image adverts (usually called banner ads) located on websites people are browsing (eg News24, Gumtree, Private Property, Sky News, Huffington Post). The targeting of the advert is based on someone's activity, demographics and/or recent searches, regardless of which websites in the world they are browsing.

Skill 4C Fact Families What is a fact family you ask? Well, a fact family is simply how 3 numbers can be used together in a different order to make two separate addition and two separate subtraction problems (four altogether). Sound confusing? Of course it is, but that's why we're here! All you are doing is changing the order of the numbers in the problem to accomplish this. For example, if we want to make a fact family using the numbers 2,3 and 5, we would make these four different problems: 2+3=5, 3+2=5, 5-3=2 and 5-2=3.
See how simple that was? As the term Fact Family is used frequently in 2nd Grade math textbooks we need to make sure this concept is understood.
Complete the fact family for the numbers

Collection Overview
Table of contents
The collection contains the notebooks, clippings, AV recordings, and photographs of Eric Hoffer, who wrote a best-seller while working on the docks of San Francisco and became known as America's "longshoreman philosopher."
Eric Hoffer was born either in 1898 or 1902 in the Bronx, New York City. What is known of his early life is based on his own recollections. Hoffer's parents came to the U.S. from Alsace-Lorraine and Hoffer himself spoke with a German accent throughout his life. He learned to read English and German by the time he was five. Hoffer became blind shortly after his mother's death when he was 7, but regained his sight at age 15, leading him to become a voracious reader lest he lose his eyesight again. He never received any formal education. After his father died in 1920, he left for Los Angeles. For the next two decades, he worked a series of odd jobs on LA's Skid Row, then as a migratory farm worker and gold miner, travelling up and down the state of California. He accumulated library cards from various towns along the way and carried books with him wherever he went. Drawing from his readings, experiences, and observations, he began to write in the late 1930's. In 1943, he gained steady employment as a longshoreman on the San Francisco waterfront. The job, which allowed him more time and income, enabled him to focus heavily on his writing. After many trips to the San Francisco Public Library, Hoffer completed his first book The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements, which was published in 1951. The book sold 500,000 copies and brought Hoffer celebrity. After the success of his first book he published a book of aphorisms, The Passionate State of Mind in 1955, and then another study of the psychology of mass society, The Ordeal of Change, in 1963. He went on to write seven more books as well as a syndicated column in the San Francisco Examiner. He was interviewed on national television and for a variety of publications on numerous occasions. In February 1983, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Ronald Reagan for his life work. He passed away shortly after in May in San Francisco.

Aylesbury communities encouraged to Walk and Talk
That is what residents living in parts of Buckinghamshire are being asked to do as part of a new health initiative to educate people about the benefits of sitting less and moving more.
The Active Communities pilot which is running in West Wycombe, Booker, Cressex & Castlefield, Abbey and Aylesbury North West began last month. It promotes the benefits that even small amounts of movement and exercise can have on our physical and mental health.
The Walk and Talk campaign which launched this week forms part of the Active Communities initiative. There are many ways we can make talking to each other more active:
Stand up or move around to make a phone call or go on social media
Have online and office meetings with regular standing or arrange to have walking meetings
Take regular standing breaks when on the computer or just stand up every time you press the send key on an email.
Arrange regular meetings with friends and family to walk together.
To sit alongside the scheme a range of Active Park Walks have been created at The Riverside and Haydon Hill Park in Aylesbury and Desborough Recreation Ground in Wycombe.
Carl Jackson, Buckinghamshire Council's Deputy Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing (Public Health) said: "The Walk and Talk scheme is the first of a number of campaigns and events linked to the Active Communities pilot. They promote easy ways for people to add a little movement into their everyday lives. Over time these simple acts of sitting less and standing and moving more can become part of our everyday routine without us even realising and so benefiting both our physical and mental health and wellbeing."

To Watch Full Interview with Kumu Micah Click this link:
NEW YORK — Designer Micah Kamohoali'i was forced to trade in his sewing machine for a water hose as the largest wildfires that the Big Island had ever seen crept within yards of his home.
"I just couldn't believe this was happening," Micah Kamohoali'i said.
The timing couldn't be worse. He was just week away from debuting his "Dezigns by Kamohoali'i" in the fashion capital of the world.
On August first, he was given a mask and told to evacuate his home. His dreams of New York City would have to wait — again. The pandemic had already threw a monkey wrench in his plans.
"Hawaii had a lockdown for a long time so my company had to go online," explained Kamohoali'i. "We had to create Instagrams and Facebook and that really boomed the business and that got us into New York Fashion Week."
Hawaiians banded together and raised $80,000 so Kamohoalil'i could make the 5,000 mile journey from Honolulu to JFK. And now his latest collection is really taking off; a nod to the Polynesian people and the tropical land that they call home.
"To me its full fashion it's amazing the art that goes into making our fabrics down to the leaves that weave and we wear them in modern ways today," Kamohoali'i proudly said.
The team behind "Dezigns by Kamohoali'i" is making the most of their trip. Hawaiian models drew a crowd in Times Square. The traditional hula dance was a big hit in the Crossroads of the World. And the design team soaked in the sights determined to show the fashion industry that Hawaiian couture is about more than flip flops and Aloha shirts.
"Our winds and our rains all have names at home our landscape is storied, our mountains tell stories. We call them our ancestors," Kamohoali'i said. "Taking all of that and telling their own story, yeah. They're wearing the designs of their people."
And his collection is about the power of the Hawaiian people and perseverance.
"Having Hawaii represented on such a big stage, and we're so far away for the rest of the world to see our fashion and for people to know we don't live in grass huts and we're not running around in coconut bras all day long," said Kamohoali'i. "We actually have a living and thriving culture and fashion is alive and well in Hawaii."

What do I do for under eye skin tightening? Can I use castor oil for wrinkles under eyes? Is it safe to use? What if it makes my issue worse? Are there any castor oil benefits for the eyes?
Do you also come into the same domain where your mind bombards you with all such questions? And the only thing that you experience is anxiety when all these questions remain unanswered. This is no longer going to be the case because this article will answer all your queries and confusions regarding castor oil.
Read on to clear out these confusions.
Castor Oil Benefits
Let's get started with some of the exceptional perks castor oil offers you. This will surely give you some insight into how safe it is to use castor oil as a beauty essential.
- Castor oil is a fantastic moisturiser that maintains the skin's elasticity. The oil's fatty acids can penetrate deeply into the skin, protecting it from fine lines and wrinkles. It also controls collagen production and treats under-eye wrinkles.
- Castor oil also regulates skin oxidation. Our skin consists of free radicals that can intensely damage skin. The antioxidant present in the castor oil interrupts the entire process of oxidation, putting it to a halt.
- Psoriasis, dermatitis, acne and other skin conditions are widespread. These conditions deplete the skin's critical nutrients and accelerate the aging process. Castor oil, which is high in omega-3 fatty acids, can help with these issues.
- As mentioned above, castor oil contains plenty of fatty acids such as ricinoleic acid, linoleic acid, stearic acid and oleic acid. These fatty acids provide relief to the skin from sunburn or cuts because of their anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties.

Can I use Castor Oil for Wrinkles Under Eyes?
Do you want to know about the castor oil benefits for the eyes? It serves as a miracle. This will probably be one of the main reasons that will encourage you to use it as a solution to many of your eye problems.
It is useful for;
- Eye infection because castor oil can help in treating eye infections by increasing circulation and lubrication.
- The appearance of eyelashes by making them look thicker and more lustrous.
- Inflammation as this oil aids the eyes during the course of discomfort and inflammation.
- Cataracts because castor oil has the ability to enhance the vision that has been harmed by cataracts which the age triggers.
- Castor oil promotes lipid formation in the eyes and prevents tears from evaporating, which helps to relieve dry eyes. Moreover, the oil's anti-inflammatory effects aid in the treatment of allergies and eye irritation.
- It is extremely effective in the treatment of dark circles and under-eye wrinkles. Castor oil is a potent that improves the hydration of the skin area around the eye region.
Considering all these perks that castor oil has to offer you, do you really think it would not work well with your wrinkles? Of course not. It will be a wonderful remedy to help you get over all these unwanted wrinkles.
How can you Apply Castor Oil under the Eyes?
Just like any other remedy, the application of castor oil also has certain steps that you must follow if you want things to go your way.
So here are the steps that you should keep in mind when putting the castor oil;
Step No# 1: Cleanse your face in the morning and pat dry any excess moisture.
Step No#2: On the tip of your finger, place one drop of castor oil. Apply it to the skin around your eyes, specifically the region that is prone to wrinkles. Make sure you don't get any oil in your eyes. Other face areas to use the oil include the skin around the outside edges of your eyes, the base of your nose, and the skin close or between your eyes.
Step No#3: Let on for roughly 20 minutes, or as long as castor oil takes to seep into your skin.
Step No#4: Gently cleanse the places where you applied the oil afterwards. Apply moisturisers, makeup, cover creams, and other cosmetics just the way you normally do. Repetition of these steps each evening is essential. Implement these steps into your regular routine for long-term advantages.
Keeping these steps in mind, customize your own DIY castor oil serum for under eye treatment and recover from wrinkles and fine lines.
Can I use Castor Oil around my Eyes?
You can definitely use castor oil around the eyes. However, there are certain temporary side effects that you might face. The most common side effect that you can experience is blurry vision. This is absolutely not because the drops are harming your vision, rather, the oil creates a protective layer around your eyes. After some time, the blurring effect disappears. Itching and swelling of the eyes are two more possible adverse effects. So use it only if it suits your skin.
Is Castor Oil Good for Face Wrinkles?
Castor oil doesn't only benefit the eyes, it is also very useful for the other parts of your body including your face. It is anti-inflammatory and can help you with not only the wrinkles but tanned face, dark spots, pigmentation and pimples. It has emollient qualities that help to improve the texture and the appearance of your skin.
Is the question, "Can I use castor oil for wrinkles under eyes" still bothering you? Hopefully not. Because this guide answers all of your confusion and has provided you with new reasons to use natural castor oil. Add the castor oil essential to your beauty routine and see the magic.

Author: Taylor, John, 1580-1653.
Title: The nipping and snipping of abuses: or The woolgathering of vvitte.
Q. On this image, there are words aligned on the first column text on the margin headed by "Eccho" appearing on the left hand page. The last word on each line is repeated on the margin.
A. This is a kind of trick poem in which the last word of each line is "echoed" and forms a sort of reply to the rest of the line. We've met these before and have no really satisfactory way to tag them. In fact, one of the original sample pages that we put on the web contains one of these "echo" poems. Our strategy there was to do the simplest thing, and I recommend the same here: simply use "Eccho" as the <HEAD> of the <LG>, and record the doubled word as part of the verse line. See sample 1.8 on the samples page at http://www.lib.umich.edu/eebo/docs/dox/samples.html for a fully tagged example. I would tag the present book as follows:
<L>May humane mischiefes be compar'd with mine? mine.</L>
<L>Thine babling Eccho, would thy tongue told true: rue.</L>
... etc.
Q. On the right hand page, there were also words aligned on the margin. Could we just tag each word as <note> and place it at the end of the line? Please advise.
A. I'm not sure *why* the right-most word of each line is pushed out to the right margin, but the words really do seem to belong to the line (i.e., they're not <NOTES> extraneous to the text flow). I suggest simply reducing the extra space to a single space character (except for the hyphenated words, for which the extra space should be removed altogether), like this, from the 2nd stanza:
<L>Then since so scornefull is her high dis-daine.</L>
<L>Since all my loue is but bestow'd in vaine,</L>
<L>Curbe fancie then, with true discretions Reine,</L>
<L>Let reason cure my tor-tormenting paine.</L>

Fairfield is a city located in Jefferson County, Alabama, just southwest of Birmingham, the largest city in the state. Fairfield had a population of over 11,000 at the time of the 2010 U.S. Census. Fairfield was first founded in 1910 as a model city for workers of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company, which setup operations in the area as early as 1898. Originally named Corey, after one of the executives of the company, the name was changed to honor that man's hometown of Fairfield, Connecticut instead. The featured speaker at the dedication ceremony officially declaring Fairfield a town was none other than former President Teddy Roosevelt. Steel-making was the main economic driver of the town, and while operations have been scaled back in recent years due to advances in steel-making technology, it is still in operation today and is owned by U.S. Steel.
Basic Facts About Fairfield
- Current population: 11,000
- Current mayor: Michael Johnson
- Total area: 3.5 sq mi
- Official website: fairfieldal.us
- Located in: Jefferson County
- Founded in: 1910
- Zip codes: 35064
- Area codes: 205
Auto Transport Tips to Fairfield
Fairfield is located just minutes west of Birmingham along Interstate 59, which runs along the same route as Interstate 20 into Birmingham before splitting into two separate interstates on the eastern edge of the city. This can make it easier for shippers to get into and out of Fairfield, as the interstate runs right through the area, and if anyone's going to Birmingham on an east-west route it'll likely take them through Fairfield as well.
However, Fairfield's size makes it less popular than its location would make it seem. Not a lot of customers are moving in or out of Fairfield, and the population hasn't increased much, showing that people tend to move there and stay there. It will likely be easier for you if you move your pickup or delivery location to Birmingham – it's not a major move, of course, but it's something that may entice more carriers to pick your vehicle up since they don't have to travel to Fairfield.
Of course, it's always best to talk to your auto transport representative to get the best information. They'll be privy to localized information regarding where carrier trucks are located, what their routes are, and will be able to give you more detailed advice for your specific shipment. If you're having trouble finding a company to move your vehicle, or just need some free quotes, fill out our online quote form or call us at 800-930-7417 to get started.
