Instagram is the best place for discovering inspiration decorating ideas. I'm always on the 'gram looking at dreamy loft bedrooms. I'm slightly obsessed! Today, I'm sharing my top 5 loft bedrooms spotted found on Instagram. And I'm sharing lots of loft bedroom planning tips with the help of attic experts, Abbey Lofts.
5 Instagram Loft Bedrooms We're Crushing On
I can't afford to convert my loft into a bedroom yet. But that doesn't stop me from daydreaming about ideas for my attic for when I finally convert this space. Here's my pick of my top 5 Instagram loft bedrooms that I'm decor-crushing on right now.
1. Fallow Grey
This loft bedroom has made me change my mind about decorating my home in shades of leafy green. I'm not sure what I love most…the crittal doors, the grey painted floorboards or the comapct ensuite bathroom. The design of this bedroom has made the most of every inch without it looking too cramped or cluttered. I bet the view from those doors is stunning.
LOFT PLANNING TIP: If you need to add a bathroom to your new loft conversion, don't feel you have to change your existing boiler. Most heating systems can be adapted. In some cases (especially where there are combination boilers) the pressure can fluctuate. One way around this is with a Megaflos which helps with the pressure.
2. Making Spaces
This is one of my fave loft bedroom projects by Karen from Making Spaces. She is an interior designer, based in Leeds, who has a knack of turning small boxy rooms into dream spaces full of stylish tricks.
Here, the simple monochrome scheme shows off the slants and angles of the room to perfection. The black painted woodwork matches the crisp matt charcoal walls. For a hint of zing, she painted the fireplace in acid yellow. Then a clever lemon stripe draws the eye up to the kooky shapes in the ceiling. Wonderful.
LOFT PLANNING TIP: When at the planning stages of your loft, you may want to consider an architect. Loft conversion specialists (like Abbey Lofts) will have their own in-house architects who will be on hand to get you the loft bedroom you desire.
Having a company provide a one-stop shop can save you money, speed up the process and make sure the space is planned out to it's best. Then you can spend your budget hiring a decor wizz like Karen.
3. Charlotte Asquith
Building regulations can dramatically influence how a converted loft space is structured – which will then impact on your choice of finishes and furniture – BOO! Choose furniture in proportion with the size and scale of your space.
Follow the lead of Charlotte, who picked a low-level bed and then put up a picture display shelf above. She kept the floor cozy with a neutral carpet and added splash of natural colour with houseplants. The peppermint and plum colour scheme is on right on trend for 2019. Hands up who would love to dive into this bed?
LOFT PLANNING TIP: Have you heard of a party wall agreement? It provides a framework for preventing and resolving disputes in relation to party walls, boundary walls and excavations to your neighbouring buildings.
If you want to convert your attic into a loft bedroom before works start make sure your follow the Law (a good loft conversion company will help you with this paperwork). Some neighbours may insist on a party wall surveyor drafting an award, and you'll have to meet these costs. But don't stress as neighbours can't prevent a loft conversion going ahead.
4. Tatiana Home Decor
If your attic or loft bedroom is going to be tiny, like mine – then take inspiration from Tatiana's loft bedroom which is jam-packed with style ideas. The bed on packing crates is a easy alternative to a low futon, ideal if your ceiling is low. Then there in one corner she has managed to squeeze in a small home office/dressing table/display area. And then the other end a micro-walk-in wardrobe (my dream). By not having a door on her wardrobe, she has made the space feel open and roomy.
LOFT PLANNING TIP: In a small loft bedroom it's important to maximise the amount of daylight. Glazing should make up 20% of the roof area. A long, shallow room will benefit from windows spaced evenly along its length while a narrow room will benefit from one large window. The more natural daylight the better!
5. This Style Rocks
Growing up, my teenage bedroom was in my parents' loft. I loved the cosy corners, quirky shape and I felt that I was tucked away in the rafters. This clever bedroom in Amy's house was designed by her daughter – with a sunken bed and a mezzanine desk up above. The faux brick wallpaper gives the space an urban edge – and works so well with the exposed beams. I love the paired-back wood and the cubby-hole storage which prove that teenagers loft bedrooms are officially the best.
LOFT PLANNING TIP: Lofts make great playrooms or extra space for teenagers but it's important to keep them cosy so they'll get plenty of use. You'll need to insulate the roof instead of the floor, and cover it with plasterboard. They will also need smart, flexible storage for their all their stuff, as well as a desk for homework.
There's my top 5 instagram loft bedrooms to inspire you. Make sure you give these talented ladies a follow by clicking on their photos above.
If you want more inspiration, advice or ideas for your loft conversion or planning advice then check out Abbey Lofts who helped me with this post. They have a super helpful FAQ page that is worth checking out.

Except for when PeKu was a very young company, we have redesigned our publications constantly. Typically it takes about eighteen months for us to work through all of our publications, and then we start the cycle again. Creating new looks for each property keeps things fresh, interesting, and engaging.
This summer we decided to redesign PeKu, the corporate site, even though it had gotten a new look in the spring. Working with our newly hired marketing coordinator, she and I decided that we needed to tweak the new design a bit more. Once that look was complete, we wanted to find a way to make the PeKu brand even more cohesive.
Although we've had branding that identifies all of our publications as part of the PeKu family, it didn't seem to be enough. Thus, we decided to give all of our publications a homogenous design. Of course, redesigning twenty-one publications isn't an overnight project. Especially when each site has its own characteristics that makes it unique.
If you want to take a peek at the redesign, you can visit Holidays Helper, which we launched with the new look in late August. Over the coming months, the other twenty sites will be updated.
I think this new design will give a great interrelated feel to our publications. Please feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below.

How Limiting Self-Beliefs Can Get in the Way of a Healthy Lifestyle
Taking charge of our health is as much as matter of mind as it is body
Pranita Salunke explores the role of self-limiting beliefs in terms of achieving our health goals
We have both therapists and coaches who can support you in your health journey. Find your therapist here and coach here
Our beliefs are the blueprint that direct our lives and whether we have success or failure. There are two types of beliefs that guide your life's decision: conscious and subconscious.
Conscious beliefs are easier to recognise and change. However, subconscious beliefs are deeply-rooted in our being and are influenced by factors such as early childhood and the environment around us, and are therefore harder to recognise and change.
Beliefs determine our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Positive beliefs can create positive life experiences, but negative beliefs can cause a limitation in the success you enjoy in all areas your life, including your pursuit of a healthy lifestyle.
Beliefs turn into self-fulfilling predictions
Negative health beliefs lead to unhealthy lifestyle habits. And unhealthy lifestyle habits produce negative results that strengthen your original negative healthy beliefs. It's a vicious cycle that can be tough to break.
Some of the negative beliefs I have heard when working with my clients include:
- "I love my food"
- "It is hard to change"
- "I am too old to change"
- "I don't have the right knowledge"
- "I am too lazy to change"
- "It's genetic (overweight, diabetes, heart disease or any other lifestyle disease) and therefore I am doomed to get it"
Can you relate any of those beliefs yourself?
These beliefs generate a state of disempowerment and disconnection from our desire goals of a healthy lifestyle. When you think that it is not possible to succeed in a healthy lifestyle, that is hard to change – you end up procrastinating before taking positive actions such as going for walk, cooking healthy meals or quitting smoking. From the disempowered state, you may prioritise your work over your sleep staying up late to complete other responsibilities.
How to change your self-limiting beliefs
At the core of any negative beliefs, there are primary beliefs of "I am not lovable, I am unworthy and I am not deserving." All other negative beliefs are a side-effect of this primary belief, which often has its roots deep into your childhood. This can make it very hard to change.
Therefore, the first step to creating empowering beliefs that will help you to lead a healthy lifestyle is to increase your self-esteem. By making a list of all your positive qualities, strengths and surrounding yourself with supportive loving people you will soon regain your sense of self-worth.
Then, take some time to identify the limiting beliefs that are creating negative results in your life. For example, you may believe that it is really hard to lose weight, and as a result, you are overweight and find it hard to eat healthily.
Next, challenge that belief by asking questions such as, is it really true? What if the opposite is true?
So in this case, what if, achieving your ideal body weight is easy? What would you do if it was easy? Then write your ideas: If it was easy…
- I will start cooking and eating at home, rather than buying pre-packed lunches and takeaways.
- I will find the support group to give me guidance and accountability.
- I will wake up 20 min early to go for a brisk walk.
This way, when you challenge your limiting beliefs and imagine the dream reality you can create a possibility mindset. This empowers you to take small steps, small behaviours towards your ideal dream. Those behaviours lead to small wins, therefore positive emotions, which you can celebrate to strengthen new positive beliefs.
Breakthrough the limiting beliefs that are keeping you stuck. There is enough evidence in the world that optimum health is always a possibility for all of us who strive to reach that level.
So, I welcome you to choose to believe that: "I am in the process of achieving my dream health, and the process of making a positive lifestyle change is easy and joyful."

TODAY IS APRIL Fools' Day and you know what that means.
Yes, every brand and every seemingly legitimate news organisationis tripping over themselves to try prank you, so you must stay on red alert.
It's stressful.
But once you remain on watch, there is actually a great deal of silliness to enjoy.
1. This excellent Waterford Whispers-esque headline from RTÉ
2. Supermac's formally rebranded to McDonagh's
This might be the best one.
The press release contained a lot of McDonald's-inspired shade.
Staying true to roots that outlast even Supermac's foundation in 1978, the newly titled 'McDonagh's' restaurants will seek to fully acknowledge the work carried out by the McDonagh family's influential beef farming uncle, Ronan McDonagh.
Ronan McDonagh, eh? Sounds familiar.
3. The announcement of this new flavour from HB Ice Cream
4. Keeping with the water theme, Cork Institute of Technology let on that they were going to start charging for water on campus.
Good one, guys.
5. Meanwhile, Lidl trolled us all with this Easter Egg made with 100% notions
6. Whelan's posted details of this exciting gig!!!
7. While Tipp FM announced details of a very exciting new addition to its line-up
Tipp FM Radio / SoundCloud
And successfully duped listeners into believing that Mattie McGrath would be hosting a new "dance music" show.
Deputy McGrath has a deep love for dance music indeed and in a previous life, DJ'd under the name Ice-Tae.
8. The Guardian opted to go down the Jeremy Clarkson route
Clarkson said he had experienced a "wake-up call" after being sacked by the BBC, which he likened to "ramming on the brakes on the autobahn to Damascus"."It was like a pit stop," he said. "One minute I was cruising along in a Porsche Cayman S to Dark Side of the Moon. The next I was in a bloody Prius humming along to Keane.
9. Royal Albert Hall took on The Beatles with this "leaked memo" (!!!)
10. Tesco Ireland unveiled their new online dating service
11. Centra couldn't really be bothered
Good one, guys.
12. ASOS Australia might actually be on to something here, though
13. Google devised a backwards Google
(com.google if you're interested.)
13. CERN pandered to Star Wars fans
14. Hailo revealed their new piggyback feature
15. Finally, Trinity College's SU Café had this particularly sickening contribution
:( :( :( :( :(
There's always that one person that just takes things too far.

> [Archived] Interviews
Protocol of co-operation between Radio Romania, George Enescu Philharmonic and the European Radio Broadcasting Union
On the morning of September 9, 2010, the protocol of co-operation between Radio Romania, "George Enescu" Philharmonic and the European Broadcasting Union has been signed.
The event brought together András István Demeter, President General Director of Radio Romania, and Andrei Dimitriu, General Director of the Bucharest Philharmonic. The official document was previously signed by European Radio Broadcasting Union representative - Pierre Yves Tribolet, head of Euroradio Classics.
The Romanian Radio Broadcasting Company stated that this collaboration is a good reason to celebrate and at the same time, a first step towards other collaborations of this kind. The head of the Philharmonic thanked Mr. Tribolet for his contribution and the institution's Orchestra and Choir musicians that are obliged to improve their performance, according to Andrei Dimitriu.
The partnership between the three institutions means that Radio Romania and the European Radio Broadcasting Union will broadcast a series of ten concerts provided by George Enescu Philharmonic.
András István Demeter (photo), President Director General of Radio Romania states:
"The significance of this collaboration is in the opening. Nowadays, it is not enough to create. I believe it is absolutely necessary that the values created should be offered openly through every possible channel to as many people as possible. So, by this we gain the following: the George Enescu Philharmonic produces values that Radio Romania takes and offers to the European Radio Broadcasting Union. From there, the member countries will make a selection of concerts and broadcast it through their radios. Thus, millions of listeners (from Romania and other countries) will hear these concerts."
The protocol is available until 2013, during three concert seasons.

At the St. Louis Arc, supporting the whole family is a vital part of our mission. No one understands that more than the Saputo family. Peter and Susan Saputo are quintessential St. Louisans. Born and raised here, they met, married and brought twin boys, Jack and Joe, into the world 18 years ago.
Susan states, "because they are twins, we knew early on that something was different so we had Joe evaluated." When Joe was diagnosed with autism, Peter and Susan relentlessly researched to help him. The path was often a never-ending string of unknowns and frustrations. "You simply don't know what you don't know," Peter says. "You try everything because you don't want to miss the possibility of that one right answer."
Programs and Services for the Whole Family
The Arc's Family Supports team understands the challenges families face. Whether a family is at the beginning of their journey or has been navigating the disability community for decades, it is crucial to support families as they build their confidence and competence. Developing a network of support with other families, ensuring access to resources, and guiding families to make informed decisions with their family member with I/DD can alleviate stress and help them achieve their goals.
Peter and Susan discovered that parental support is an incremental "letting go." They battled the urge to be overprotective. Susan recalls how hard it was to leave Joe at St. Louis Arc's summer Teens In Motion program for the first time. After a week, it was clear that Joe was having the time of his life. The Arc was the right place for him at the time – he grew and flourished.
The Saputo family has taken part in many programs at the Arc, including Sibshops, Teens in Motion, Family Workshops, and advocacy. Peter says, "I consider our journey a 'voyage' where we encounter lighthouses to guide us along the way. St. Louis Arc is our lighthouse today as we look to plan for Joe's future transitions. Though we have invested a lot of time and effort thus far, we are still learning. Agencies like St. Louis Arc can be places that provide us with answers, pointing us in the directions we need to go."
Meet the Saputos
At the St. Louis Arc, parents, siblings, significant others – all family members are supported. We are grateful to Peter, Susan, Joe, and Jack for sharing their story. As we kick off the giving season, learn more about the Saputo family and their journey.

SUVA – The United States Embassy in Suva donated over FJ$50,000 (US$25,000) worth of locally-sourced cold storage to the Government of Fiji to assist with the COVID-19 vaccination effort. The donation of freezers coincided with the March 29 arrival of 100,000 doses of the Covishield vaccine in Fiji supplied by the Government of India. The vaccine donation was welcomed at Nadi International Airport by Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama.
The U.S. donation consists of 47 freezers ranging in size from 200 to 500 liters. The cold storage will be distributed to 35 cities in all four divisions to maintain the vaccines in optimal conditions. The donated supplies will provide storage space for large quantities of vaccine al over the country, which will allow for the easy transportation of vaccines to inoculation sites. The increased cold chain capability will assist the Government of Fiji in reaching its most vulnerable populations as it moves into phase two of its inoculation campaign.
Charge d'Affaires Tony Greubel said, "Fiji has done an admirable job keeping its population safe from the COVID-19 pandemic. The United States is pleased to assist in this next phase of vaccinating Fiji's adult population to allow for economic recovery as well."
The U.S. Embassy purchased all items locally to maximize the economic benefit to Fijian businesses. The donation was funded by the United States Indo-Pacific Command's Overseas Humanitarian, Disaster, and Civic Aid (OHDACA) program to help stop the spread of COVID-19.

I've been trying to get the coupon block from the cart to show up on a custom cms page:
{{block type="core/template" title="Coupon" template="checkout/cart/coupon.phtml"}}
The Coupomn Block is displayed, but submitting a coupon code does not seem to work? I was expecting it to direct me to the cart and let me know that the code has been used.
Alternatively I have tried adding the block to the template/checkout/cart/noItems.phtml page using this code:

<?php echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock("core/template")->setTemplate("checkout/cart/coupon.phtml")->toHtml();?>

and trying to have it pop up in fancybox2 on pageload, but again, submitting a working coupon code does not seem to apply any discounts if in a fancybox2 modal or in the page content.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've tried Amit Bera's suggestion below, however this gives me a 302 error on the POST form-action.
Here is the content of my noItems.phtml file:

<?php echo $this->__('Shopping Cart is Empty') ?>

<?php echo $this->getMessagesBlock()->getGroupedHtml() ?>
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('checkout_cart_empty_widget'); ?>

<?php echo $this->__('You have no items in your shopping cart.') ?>

<?php echo $this->__('Click here to continue shopping.', $this->getContinueShoppingUrl()) ?>

<?php echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock("checkout/cart_coupon")->setTemplate("checkout/cart/coupon.phtml")->toHtml();?>

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('shopping.cart.table.after'); ?>
and here is what the console is telling me:
As Amit rightly pointed out, this is not allowed by the magento system and even with a bit of core function hacking i couldn't get a coupon code to work without already having a product in your cart.

Innovation and Florida are in the same sentence at Synapse, a company that's deploying a methodology to connect all business personas within a multifaceted ecosystem. Brian Kornfeld, co-founder and Head of Operations at Synapse, is featured on this episode of Social Business Engine and shares the inspiring story behind the company's impact on innovation in a region that isn't widely recognized for such.
Brian explains the three key elements to Synapse, and shares why the timing has never been better for innovation and entrepreneurial ventures to flourish in the Tampa Bay area. He also offers insights into the 2019 Synapse Innovation Summit and what's to come for the company's future. This conversation includes examples of innovative companies in Tampa Bay and is key to understanding why Florida is a hotspot for entrepreneurship and innovation.
Synapse: 3 Platforms Uniting the 8 Business Personas
Synapse was born out of a desire to create a connected business community in the Tampa Bay area to accelerate innovation. It's improving the brand of the city by joining innovation and entrepreneurship while boosting the economy.
Synapse has three main platforms: publishing, web platforms, and live events. These three platforms cohesively focus on the eight personas Brian and his team believe are critical to business growth:
- Entrepreneurs
- Investors
- Government Agencies
- Service Providers
- Large Scale Corporations
- Talent (people)
- Educational Institutions
- Entrepreneurial Incubators
The Tampa Bay business community has been energized over the past decade and its growth shows no signs of slowing. Synapse is helping to overcome the stigmas of "no money, no talent, no customers" that has plagued the area. Brian shares his passion for Synapse and its goals in a way that may convince you to relocate to Tampa Bay, or expand your business footprint in the area, so be sure to listen.
Using Live Events and a Powerful Digital Platform to Achieve the Synapse Vision
Synapse's two largest platforms - web and live events - seek to achieve two main goals: enabling connections in the local community and attracting people to the Tampa Bay innovation ecosystem. The web platform is an online community that spans the geographical distance that separates businesses across the state of Florida, not just in Tampa Bay. The platform is free to join and offers members multiple ways to connect with other members including: 1 to 1 connections, innovation challenges sponsored by local businesses, articles and videos, local events, jobs and internships, topical discussions and more.
The idea behind the Synapse web platform is to make it easy for anyone in the local business community to thrive by providing an ecosystem that encourages collaboration and innovation whether you're starting a new business or you want to expand your current business in the area.
The second annual Synapse Innovation Summit was held in March 2018 and brought over 3,200 attendees to Tampa Bay and injected an unprecedented level of energy and buzz into the local entrepreneurial sphere. Brian explains that "It made a dent in the universe" in Tampa Bay and his team is already planning the Synapse Innovation Summit 2019.
Future Goals for Synapse and the Innovation Ecosystems in Tampa Bay
Brian's biggest goal for Synapse in the coming years is to accelerate the community feel of the innovation ecosystem that exists in Tampa Bay. He wants to engage "The other 90%" of the community that's not currently connected to Synapse.
Hosting corporate innovation challenges, bringing in world-class speakers for the Synapse Innovation Summit, and producing better research results on smaller budgets are all goals the Synapse team is focusing on.

Behind the masks, the safety suits, the face shields and all of the rest of the personal protective equipment that protects those who provide patient care in these COVID-19 days, are the nurses who provide the core care for the rising ranks of patients.
It can be very dangerous to provide that patient care, as doctors and nurses around the world have died trying to help those fighting the novel coronavirus. Health care workers know that and show up for work anyway.
Oishei Children's Hospital Chief Nursing Officer Cassandra Church said the hospital is trying to support the nurses a lot in these times. A native of Louisiana, Church said the anticipation of a massive increase in cases is like waiting for a hurricane.
"Anticipation is almost worse than it being here, because it would be nice to just know what it's going to be like," she said. "I grew up in New Orleans, so I'm a Buffalo transplant, and I keep telling people this is what's it like down South when you're waiting for a hurricane and you're waiting for that CAT-4 or that CAT-5 to roll up on your front steps, and the nerves and the preparation prior to it arriving are awful."
For Children's, patients often include 3,200 pregnant women who receive care and deliver their babies in the hospital very year. They need information about pregnancy and COVID. Church said Children's offers online instruction to women so they can get the latest in health advice about the virus, advice which has been changing.
"There's a lot of anxiety related to being pregnant, to begin with. Whether you're first time, second time, fourth time, it's new and amazing and scary, probably all at once, and the beauty of the experts that I work with and get to lead at Oishei Children's Hospital is that we take the time to answer any and all questions."
If moms are not online, Church said in-person visits can be arranged.
"What we have done is we have arranged for some of the mothers who are unable to view things online and maybe just don't think that that's enough to get them prepared," she said. "We're meeting with them at our women's health centers to do some one-on-one education in a safe manner, after going through the appropriate screening for both my staff and the future mother."
A partnership with Jericho Road Community Health Center helps pregnant women who have trouble with English. Church said there is no known instance of the virus showing up in a newborn. Church said another good thing in all of this is that the overwhelming flow of flu cases among kids over the winter has eased.
All Kaleida sites have begun an enhanced visitor policy due to the virus.

While belly fat is a notorious enemy most on their fitness journeys, what you may not know is it can put you at considerable risk of some serious health problems in the future. Fortunately, through making a few small lifestyle changes, shrugging that extra weight off of your belly doesn't need to be tedious. Now, during lockdown, finding new at-home ways to keep fit has become a necessity, and luckily, you don't need expensive machinery to keep yourself going on your health journey. Here are seven easy ways to minimize that belly fat yourself at home:
At-home workouts
While it may be the simplest solution, it's also extremely effective. The best way to ensure your body sheds that fat is by maintaining a daily caloric deficit. One of the most effective ways to make sure your calories burned trump your calories consumed is by giving your body a good old-fashioned workout regularly.
Cardio works wonders for shedding those extra calories, not to mention the miracles it can work for the health of your heart, lungs, and state of mind. Meanwhile, strength-based training helps to build up your muscle mass. This is something that can kick your metabolism into overdrive and burn calories at a much faster rate than it would do otherwise.
Most workout plans incorporate a mixture of these two types of exercise for optimal results- and the best part? It's surprisingly easy to work out at home with minimal equipment. A simple yoga mat can go a long way, and Youtube is your best friend for free workout plans.
Eat a high protein diet
Meat, fish, tofu, and legumes are all incredible sources of protein, and your body will thank you if you stock up on them. Proteins are incredibly filling, which means you'll be less tempted towards a late-night snack if you stick to more protein-packed meals. In addition to this, they're instrumental to building muscle mass all over your body- something which will boost your metabolic system immensely.
As with all things, it's important to make sure you maintain a healthy and balanced diet. Supplement your proteins of choice with other healthy foods such as leafy greens, and you'll really start to see the benefits coming through.
Try intermittent fasting
Intermittent fasting consists of putting your meals on a timed schedule. This fasting comes in a variety of types, but the most popular is the 16:8; here, you fast for 16 hours, then eat all of your meals within the span of the other 8. This practice has seen a lot of recent praise for its health benefits such as encouraging new cell growth to decrease levels of insulin in the blood.
One of the main attractions of intermittent fasting is the huge effect it can have on your fat loss journey. Aside from helping you limit your daily caloric intake, intermittent fasting has some interesting effects on the way your body approaches fat loss on a cellular level. For instance, fasting intermittently has been shown to give your metabolism a considerable boost- something that's always welcome.
Get some fresh air
As the weather gets warmer, the option of venturing into the great outdoors becomes much more appealing. Aside from the wonders that getting out of the house can do for your mental health, studies have shown that fresh air has a number of unexpected health benefits.
For instance, some studies have suggested that the consumption of fresh air helps to fast-track your digestive system, helping your body to burn through its food faster and more effectively.
One way to implement this into your routine is to give hiking or camping a try. Not only can it be a great way to hang out with your household, but you'd also manage to get some valuable R-and-R away from the stresses of city life. If this sounds like something you'd consider, grab your hiking gear and take to the hills- you definitely won't regret it.
Cut out the alcohol
While this can be a tricky habit to destroy mid-lockdown, cutting any alcohol out of your diet can have some astronomical benefits for your health. The sad truth is, it's much easier to accidentally drink yourself over your caloric limit than you realize. Did you know that one glass of wine can make up the same number of calories as an ice cream sundae? It's jarring to consider, but unfortunate truth.
Avoiding alcohol altogether will make your fat loss journey much easier, not to mention help you steer clear of some potentially nasty health complications further down the line. Of course, this is much easier said than done. Fortunately, cutting down your alcohol consumption even just partially can make a world of difference to your body.
Take supplements
There are a lot of supplements out there, so it's important to make sure you know what you're putting in your body. They can have a potential whole host of benefits, such as helping you feel full for longer, boosting your metabolism, and even limiting the number of calories your body absorbs in the gut.
Luckily, many of these are easy to come by and have little to no side effects. However, if you have any doubts whatsoever, it's a good idea to book yourself a consultation with an allergy and asthma specialist to make sure you're doing what's best for your body.
Common supplements include aloe vera, probiotics, and caffeine.
Get a good night's sleep
Thankfully, taking good care of your body isn't always a matter of sweat and effort. Getting a good, 7-to-8-hour sleep has been proven to do more than just stave off sleep-deprived grouchiness.
Making sure you get enough sleep at night is vital in keeping your metabolism going strong- something that's vital for shedding that pesky belly fat. In addition to this, quality sleep can help improve your mood, fight off fatigue, and give your immune system a boost- something that's always welcome.

where n is the number of half-wave-plate position angles, and S/N(fo +fe) is the signal to noise ratio of the flux of the combined components (ordinary + extraordinary) in one of the n intensity images, cf. Patat & Romaniello (2006, PASP 118, 146).
To better account for sky noise and readout noise through the use of our Exposure Time Calculator, however, the above formula is here modified to refer to the S/N of each dual-beam component. Assuming low polarization, fo is about equal to fe, and for half stellar intensity the relative sky noise is larger by a factor of 2 unless a focal plane mask is used. This may become important for faint targets. In the following we will thus refer to the signal to noise ratio of each dual-beam component as follows:
For linear polarimetry with ALFOSC/FAPOL with the default setup, n = 4, this means:
Example: to obtain an accuracy of ±0.3 % polarisation, i.e. Ep = 0.003, a signal to noise ratio of S/N = 167 is needed for each dual-beam component in each of the 4 images.
When using the Exposure Time Calculator for ALFOSC, one has to: 1) correct for the flux being split in two components by the calcite plate, and 2) correct for the flux losses by introducing the calcite and the 1/2 wave plate into the beam (check FAPOL commissioning report ). In practice, this means correcting the input magnitude of your target by adding the following magnitude offsets: 1.4 (U), 1.05 (B,V), and 1.0 (RI). The modified input magnitude is used in the Exposure Time Calculator to find the exposure time you need (for each of the n half-wave-plate positions) in order to reach the required S/N.
The uncertainty in the position angle (in degrees) goes as: 28.65 x Ep / P whenever P >> Ep.
The above estimation has some caveats:

We all dread it. That monthly period that comes around when we least want it to. Isn't it funny how it always seems to come on the worst possible day! Or perhaps there just doesn't seem to be a "good" day for having one's period.
Anyways, over the years I have developed a good little set of secrets, which I use to make the days less painful. Now, I notice a distinct difference between when I follow these little secrets and when I don't, and it is amazing how effective they are in making the pain levels just that little bit more bearable.
So, here goes:
- Increase your omega 3 oil quota two weeks before and definitely during your cycle. This has to do with those little guys called prostaglandins. These guys need omega 3 to produce positive prostaglandin reactions, reducing clotting, inflammation and pain levels. If we don't have enough of these omega 3s available, then it stimulates the opposite effect of pain, inflammation and clotting.
- Reduce the quantity of inflammatory foods in your diet a few days before your period or ideally throughout your diet. The most inflammatory foods are those that are produced directly from grains or feed off grains. So, those include chicken, farmed fish, breads, pastries etc. They contain high volumes of omega 6, which causes an inflammatory reaction in the body.
- Drink heaps of water before and during your period. This is a great way to flush things out but it also reduces inflammation. I know it often initially feels worse to drink heaps of water, especially if suffer from interstitial cystitis. If you don't drink heaps of water at the moment, it takes about two weeks for your body to adjust.
- Get ready for the big first day. It is usually the first one that is the hardest for me, but some of us get more sore on day 2. I get some castor oil from the pharmacy. I use the castor oil as a massager on my tummy for during the day; you can wear clothes over it and it doesn't stick or stain.
- Try not to take on anything particularly stressful or emotional those few days before your period. I know this is not always avoidable but it is likely that you will be emotional and stress more during those days, which will affect your period pain more too. If you can postpone things to the week after your period or increase your destress techniques more during that time, do that. It is also important not to take yourself or the situations around you too seriously, as it is likely that it is just those nasty hormones running amok!
- Do as little as possible on the first few days. I know that this isn't always avoidable. I once had to move house on the day of my period! Nasty! I make the most of movies and reading on the first day. It is also a good idea to avoid overstimulation. Choose nice and happy movies rather than those boy movies with shooting and blood and stuff! Avoid anything that makes you feel negative. I avoid the news… ha ha!
- Try not to panic or overthink things. I know for me, I find this one the hardest. Every period is a tester to see if what we have implemented last month has made a difference to how our Endo is doing. When I am sore…. again… I get all edgy about it and a level of frustration with it starts to emerge. I start to develop those nasty panic thoughts… you know the ones where you think it is never going to end, why aren't I getting better etc. Try and keep yourself busy with positive things, so you avoid going there. Girly movies are the best!
- Drink lots of ginger. Get yourself a ginger root and chop about a 5 cent piece off it and pour some boiled water over it. Ginger reduces prostaglandins, thins the blood and has amazing healing properties. All really good for the body. You can also make a ginger drink, which is even better!
- Don't use a heat pack or wheat pack – contradictory to what we may have been told, they actually make things worse! Check this video interview out with expert Chris talking about heat and the dangers of it.
- Do some kind of gentle movements to open up the abdominal area. This could be yoga or simply creating a figure 8 with your pelvis. It is important to not simply lie in a fetal position or sit closed up for too long. This restricts blood flow and will likely make the pain so much worse.
Pain can be something that is ever constant with having Endometriosis and I don't wish it on anyone. I suffered for so many years and certainly don't want you to suffer too!
I created a fabulous guide to help you reduce your overall pain, which includes more ideas and tips beyond the ones I have already shared with you. You can grab a copy here.
What have you done to alleviate your period pain? Have you tried any of these and have they worked for you? Got any more ideas other ladies can try to reduce period pain with Endometriosis?

The recent case of a man stalking women about to get into elevators alone has prompted the Abu Dhabi police to put out a security warning for female residents of the UAE.
Brigadier Maktoum Al Sharifi, Director, Capital Police Directorate, has urged women to exercise caution while using elevators or stairwells of residential buildings in Abu Dhabi.
In the case which prompted the warning, a 30-year-old Egyptian man is accused of stalking female domestic workers at night, cornering them in elevators and then sexually assaulting them while threatening them with a knife.
The stalker had beaten-up some victims and even threatened to kill them if they fought back or reported the matter to the police.
Al Sharifi has called upon people living in residential buildings no to allow their children and domestic workers alone out after dark.
He also urged residents to report any suspicious visitors to buildings and to owners to install proper lighting and security systems in the elevators and stairwells.

The Miami Dolphins lost - again - this weekend, dropping them to 1-4 on the season and turning a year of expectations into one of questions and frustration. While there is still a lot of football to be played this year, the Dolphins have dug themselves into a deep hole and have yet to stop digging. Miami has been outscored by 75 points this year, the worst point differential in the league as of Monday, a full 16 points worse than the 0-5 Jacksonville Jaguars' negative 59-points differential.
The Dolphins have so many questions surrounding them, but they have to find the answers now, The problems for the Dolphins spread across all aspects of the team, offense, defense, and special teams.
Miami started making changes and looking for answers on Sunday, adjusting the offensive line with Liam Eichenberg moving to left tackle, Jesse Davis to right tackle, and Austin Jackson to left guard.
"We just felt that was the best move, to move Austin inside, put Liam outside," head coach Brian Flores explained after the game. "I thought they both had a good week of practice in there, With Austin inside and Liam outside. Might have to look at the film and see what that really looked like. But, my initial looking at it, it looked like it was ok. But I've definitely got to watch the film and take a look. I thought we did some good things offensively. So, hopefully, [there are] some things to build on there. But as a team, we have a lot of things we need to improve on."
The offense seemed to have found some rhythm on Sunday, with quarterback Jacoby Brissett looking deeper in the passing game earlier in the contest. The Dolphins were able to put together scoring drives of their first two possessions. They were looking like a team that could compete with the Buccaneers - probably not win, but at least compete - until they started, once again, getting in their own way. Drops and tipped passes leading to interceptions crushed an offense that needs everything to go right to stay in rhythm.
The defense, whether it is being worn down by an offense that cannot stay on the field or if it is just them being outplayed, has struggled as well, especially on Sunday. Maybe it has been a scheduling thing, with Miami facing teams like the Buffalo Bills and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are going to come out firing with their offenses, early in the year. Whatever the case, Miami's defense was supposed to be the strength of the team, and they have not been performing to an expected elite level.
"I think collectively, as a defense, we just didn't do enough," Flores said. "I think there is a lot that goes into it. We didn't get enough rush. We didn't get enough disguise. To put it on just two guys, we try to play team defense here and we didn't get it done as a unit. As a unit, as a coaching staff, we need to put them in better positions. We didn't, and they executed. They made some plays as well, so give them credit. But we've got to play better."
He continued, adding, "I'm concerned. We're out of sync in a lot of ways. Run defense, pass defense, [and] pass rush. We're a little bit of a step behind, I would say. We've got to make a lot of corrections. [There's] a lot of things we need to address, and we'll do that. We've been doing that. We've addressed some things, but we're not seeing the production on Sundays. Really, that's all that matters. But I would say we are a little bit out of sync."
That last line, a simple statement, is the heart of the problems in Miami right now. They are out of sync. They have to play better. They have to coach better. They have to execute better. They have to plan better. Miami has to be better if they are going to turn this season into anything other than bitter disappointment.
The schedule has not been kind to the Dolphins early this year, but it does ease up a little over the next few weeks. Miami faces the Jaguars next Sunday in London. Then they visit the 2-3 Atlanta Falcons. After hosting the Bills in the second half of the annual home-and-home series, the Dolphins then have a game at the 1-4 Houston Texans, followed by a Thursday night game in Miami against the 3-1 Baltimore Ravens. They then face the 1-4 New York Jets in New York, followed by three straight home games - with their bye week in there as well - against the 3-2 Carolina Panthers, the 1-4 New York Giants, and the second Jets game. There are some tough games in this stretch, but there are winnable contests as well. Can Miami turn around the season?
The first step toward salvaging the season may be the return of starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. After being placed on injured reserve after sustaining fractured ribs in Week 2, Tagovailoa is believed to be on track to return as early as this week.
"Tua is doing everything he can to get back," Flores replied when asked about Tagovailoa's availability for this week. "Like I have said in previous media sessions, he threw Wednesday. He threw Friday. He's making progress. Let's see what he looks like after we activate him and practice him this week. We'll see what the week of practice looks like. Obviously, he's still dealing with the fracture of the ribs. So, that will definitely be something from a pain-tolerance standpoint he'd have to deal with. So, we'll just see how he does with that and just take it one day at a time."
The Dolphins have so many questions to answer, so many problems to fix, and they only have a short time in which to do it all. If this season is going to be anything other than a disappointment, Miami has to play better, coach better, execute better, and get back in sync.

"Church Offers Consolation, Humanitarian Aid after Attacks," Ensign, Nov. 2001, 109–10
Church Offers Consolation, Humanitarian Aid after Attacks
Church leaders offered messages of peace and consolation following terrorist attacks on 11 September in New York, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania. Five Latter-day Saints are known to have lost their lives in the attacks.
Carolyn Meyer-Beug, 48, a member of the Santa Monica Second Ward, Los Angeles California Santa Monica Stake, and her mother, Mary Alice Wahlstrom, 75, of the Kaysville 17th Ward, Kaysville Utah East Stake, were on board the first plane that struck the World Trade Center. The two women were returning home from dropping off Sister Beug's twin daughters for their freshman year of college.
Ivhan Luis Carpio Bautista, 24, of the Richmond Hill Third Branch, Richmond Hill New York District, was working at the Windows on the World restaurant on the 107th floor of One World Trade Center when the attacks occurred. He had planned to take 11 September off because it was his birthday but agreed to cover a coworker's shift instead.
Brady Howell, 26, a member of the Crystal City Ward, Mount Vernon Virginia Stake, and Rhonda Rasmussen, 44, Lake Ridge Second Ward, Mount Vernon Virginia Stake, died in the attack on the Pentagon in Washington. Brother Howell was working as a civilian employee for the U.S. Navy. Sister Rasmussen was working as a budget analyst for the Department of the Army. Her husband of 26 years was also working in the building but was unharmed.
Shortly after hearing of the attacks, the First Presidency released a statement expressing "profound sympathy to those whose loved ones, friends and associates were lost or injured in today's senseless acts of violence. We offer our prayers in behalf of the innocent victims of these vicious attacks. We ask our Heavenly Father to guide [U.S.] President [George W.] Bush and his advisors as they respond to these devastating incidents.
"We join with others in prayers that the Savior's peace and love will comfort and guide us all through this difficult time."
On the evening of 11 September, President Gordon B. Hinckley spoke at a previously scheduled Mormon Tabernacle Choir concert that was turned into a memorial service. "Dark as is this hour," said the Church President, "there is shining through the heavy overcast of fear and anger the solemn and wonderful image of the Son of God. It is to Him that we look in these circumstances."
President Hinckley offered similar messages of faith and comfort when he appeared both on CNN's Larry King Live and in a memorial service in the Salt Lake Tabernacle on 14 September, a day declared as a national day of prayer and remembrance by President Bush. "We cannot call back the dead," said President Hinckley, but we can "call upon our Heavenly Father to bring comfort and solace to those who have suffered much." He also expressed hope that Heavenly Father would hasten the day when men would beat their swords into plowshares and "learn war no more" (see Isa. 2:4). Also participating in this memorial service were members of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, other General Authorities, and the Tabernacle Choir. The service was broadcast to Church meetinghouses throughout the U.S.
On 20 September, President Hinckley and 26 other religious leaders met with President Bush in the White House at the U.S. President's invitation. "I have never felt stronger," President Bush said, "and that strength comes from God." He asked that people pray for the safety of the nation and that he would be blessed with wisdom, strength, and clarity of thought.
When President Bush asked for input from those assembled, President Hinckley stated, "I just want you to know, Mr. President, that we are behind you. We pray for you. We love this 'nation under God.'"
At the request of the First Presidency, special memorial sacrament meeting services were held in Church units throughout the U.S. on Sunday, 16 September. Throughout the country, members of the Church reached out in love and service to those who had lost loved ones. Many members opened their homes and meetinghouses to those left stranded in New York and at various airports.
Humanitarian relief funds donated to the American Red Cross by the Church were used largely to assist with search and rescue work, emergency food and shelter, and other needs. The Red Cross's Salt Lake City chapter used part of the money to offset its costs in helping stranded travelers in Salt Lake City obtain food and shelter. LDS Family Services counselors worked with community agencies that are directly assisting those in the New York area who were traumatized by the attacks.
On 9 October the First Presidency approved the distribution of thousands of pounds of blankets, hygiene kits, medical supplies, and newborn kits to Afghan refugees.

Michigan company offering Major League Baseball caskets
MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- Do you love the Milwaukee Brewers so much, you'd be willing to spend all of eternity in a Milwaukee Brewers themed casket?
A company called "Brand Memorials" out of Michigan is offering "official" Major League Baseball burial caskets -- with all MLB teams available.

What happens when two committed Francophiles, art lovers and design junkies get together over a bottle of red wine? A fine art gallery with a little je ne sais quoi is born, followed a few years later by its home furnishings and décor sibling.
Happy New Year! Thank you so much for sharing. I am in love with this hotel just from reading your blog. Seems like it, alone, is worth a trip to Oxford. The art looks amazing. This is definitely going on my bucket list. Sound like you had a perfect Christmas/New Years….I cant think of a more intimate, cozy and romantic place to spend the holidays.
Hope you return for another visit soon.Cheers!
I loved this about London! The art is spectacular!

"normally, i complain about the city. but now i have something nice to say. a few months ago some little schmuck tagged our house with graffiti. someone on this forum said the city's anti-graffiti network provides a free cleaning service with an online request form. skeptically i filled it in and expected nothing. but BAM! within a couple weeks, the graffiti was cleaned. no note, no bill, no nothing, no graffiti. thank you, mr. graffiti remover, whoever you were, and thank you city for providing an unexpectedly wonderful service. from a normally disgruntled taxpayer."

Friends, Family and Coffee County residents, my name is Danny R. Ferrell and I am excited to announce my candidacy in the 2022 Sheriff's election. After much thought and consideration, I feel a deeper calling of service and see a need for true conservative leadership in our county. I was born and raised in Coffee County and through my wonderful parents, Donnie and Janie Ferrell, I was taught a solid foundation of faith makes the strongest leaders. It has been my great honor to follow in my father's law enforcement footsteps. I will lead as he did, by example, with honor and integrity.
My greatest blessings in this life, my wife, Lisa Peterson Ferrell of 20 years and my three sons, Clinton, Daniel and Colton, are my reasons to make Coffee County the safest place to live in Tennessee. I began my law enforcement career twenty-eight years ago and served at the Coffee County Sheriff's Department twenty of those years. I have held many positions in law enforcement including Corrections, Court Officer, Transport Officer, Deputy, K-9 Officer, Investigator, Sergeant over Investigations and Captain over patrol. I also served as a part-time boating officer with the TWRA for eighteen years. During my tenure with the TWRA, I assisted in teaching boating and hunters education. I currently serve as Sergeant on patrol at the Warren County Sheriff's Department and have held this position for the past three years.
As Sheriff of Coffee County, I will be visible in the community and will uphold every honor the office demands. I will strive to have the most well trained, ethical department in the state. I will mend broken relationships and work closely with other departments. My view of law enforcement is one collective branch that works for the betterment of the community and state we serve. I will implement an open door policy as I feel strongly that all elected officials should be available for the citizens they serve. Law enforcement and community involvement is imperative in breaking down boundaries and forming relationships.
I would appreciate your support and humbly ask for your vote for Sheriff of Coffee County, 2022.
Thank you
Danny Ferrell

"Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train"- fuelled with enchanting visuals
Does it live up to the hype? Sure, it does, "Mugen Train" serving as a bridge to the upcoming second season is a must-watch for Demon Slayer fans.
"Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train" already overtook the hugely popular Your Name (2016), making it the highest-grossing film of 2020 worldwide and the highest-grossing Japanese film of all time. This movie is a direct sequel to the extremely popular TV series Demon Slayer (2019) of 26-episode.
The film follows one of the most potent swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps, Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku, who is on his mission to hunt for a demon that has killed many passengers and demon slayers. To assist him, Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu, and Inosuke board the Mugen Train, soon they realize the enemy has the power to manipulate and control someone's dreams. Can our heroes save 200 passengers aboard the train?
There isn't much to say; similar to season one, the significant appealing aspect for "Mugen Train" is its breath-taking animation and dazzling soundtrack. The art style in the action sequence, the fire blazing from Rengoku, complex camera movements, vivid colour palette, dynamic backgrounds, smooth animation are pleasurable to watch. It's Ufotable after all. The music underlines every action sequence that chains the audience with the atmosphere. As you thought this is going well, there comes a battle between Rengoku and Upper Rank 3 villain Akaza that will stand out from the rest of the movie. It is powerful, memorable, and visually stunning; the soundtrack used here, "Akaza Theme", electrifies and gives chills to the viewers.
Now that we have the positive aspects out of the way, let's address the main stumbling block in "Mugen Train", the story and character development. I was not expecting Attack on Titan, Steins Gate level plot in Demon Slayer. Still, it could explore many gripping storylines that could be possible after the fantastic last episodes in season one. Rather than that, the screenwriter chooses to be generic with the basic plot; maybe they come up while travelling and forget to develop.
What is most disappointing is the character development, especially villain characters. They are bland and one dimensional; we don't see any resolution to their actions, unlike in the series where we get to know even the level one villain, their intentions; that's why we sympathize with their characters even when they are demons. And the side characters in the movie seem to be unpolished. We barely see Zenoski and Nezuko; Inosuke is served as comic relief, nothing more. If I have to rewatch the movie, I jump to Tanjiro's dream sequences loaded with themes of family, regret and exhilarating battle sequences between Rengoku and Akaza.
Conclusion: The high-speed "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train" fuelled with enchanting visuals and breath-taking action sequences surely slows down by weak plot and character development. Still, the ride is enjoyable and a must-watch for Demon Slayer fans. My rating 7/10.

Washington — The ADA and a coalition of over 580 stakeholders is urging Congress to include targeted and temporary liability protections in the next COVID-19 relief package.
In a Feb 1 letter the coalition — led by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Institute for Legal Reform — told lawmakers that implementing these protections is critical to helping safeguard educational institutions, health care providers, businesses and non-profit organizations from unfair lawsuits.
The groups noted that as COVID-19 continues to surge across the country, many who remain on the front lines and continue to serve their communities are burdened by the threat of unfair litigation. They noted that in 2020 plaintiffs spent more than $23 million on COVID-19-related lawsuit advertisements, "a clear indication" that a litigation wave could be on the horizon.
"As employers, educational institutions, and others answer President Biden's very appropriate call for face coverings and other protective steps, they should not have to worry that their actions will invite costly and unnecessary litigation," the coalition wrote. "The time for federal action implementing liability protections from such litigation is now."
The groups urged Congress to include balanced liability relief provisions similar to last Congress' Safe to Work Act (S 4317) in any further COVID-19 relief legislation so that "unfair lawsuits will not hamper" entities who work to comply with applicable government guidelines.
"We also believe these protections should be limited in duration and scope in addition to preserving reasonable recourse for those harmed by truly bad actors," they added.
"In the wake of prior crises, Congress came together to pass needed liability protections with strong bipartisan support because lawmakers understood the acute threat of lawsuits at moments of maximum economic vulnerability," the letter concluded. "That threat is present again now. As such, Congress must take strong action now and provide a national baseline of liability protection during this national pandemic to prevent a wave of lawsuits from inhibiting our return to a robust economy and healthy citizenry."

Shared database in microservices is a problem, yep
This post is in reply to this one: Is a Shared Database in Microservices Actually an Anti-pattern?
The author does a great job outlining the actual problem. Given two services that need to share some data, how do you actually manage that in a microservice architecture? The author uses the Users and Orders example, which is great, because it is pretty simple and require very little domain knowledge.
The first question to ask is: Why?
Why use microservices? Wikipedia says:
The benefit of decomposing an application into different smaller services is that it improves modularity. This makes the application easier to understand, develop, test, and become more resilient to architecture erosion.
I always like an application that is easier to understand, develop and test. Being resilient to architecture erosion is a nice bonus.
The problem is that this kind of architecture isn't free. A system that is composed of microservices is a system that need to communicate between these services, and that is usually where most of the complexity in such a system reside.
In the Orders service, if we need to access some details about the User, how do we do that?
We can directly call to the Users service, but that creates a strong dependency between the services. If Users is down, then Orders is down. That sort of defeats the purpose of the architecture. It also means that we don't actually have separate services, we just have exchange the call assembly instruction with RPC and distributed debugging. All the costs, none of the benefits.
The post above rightly calls this problematic, and asks whatever async integration between the services would work, using streams. I'm not quite sure what was meant there. My usual method of integrating different microservices is to not do that, instead. Either we need to send a command to a different service (which is async) or we need to publish some data from a service (also async). Both of these options are assuming to be failure resistant and unreliable. In other words, if I send a command to another service, and I need to handle failure, I setup a timer to let me know to handle not being called back.
Even if you just need some data published from another service, and can use a feature such as RavenDB ETL to share that data. You still need to take into account issues such as network failures causing you to have a laggy view of the data.
This is not an accident.
That is not your data, you have a copy (potentially stale) of published data from another service. You can use that for reference, but you cannot count on it. If you need to rely on that data, you need to send a command to the owning service, which can then make the actual decision.
In short, this is not a trivial matter. Even if the actual implementation can be done pretty easily.
The fact that each service owns a particular portion of the system is a core principle of the microservice architecture.
Having a shared database is like having a back stage pass. It's great, in theory, but it is also open for abuse. And it will be abused. I can guarantee that with 100% confidence.
If you blur the lines between services, they are no longer independent. Have fun trying to debug why your Users' login time spiked (Orders' is running the monthly report). Enjoy breaking the payment processing system (you added a new type of user that the Orders system can't process). And these are the good parts. I haven't started to talk about what happens when the Orders service actually attempt to write to the Users' tables.
The article suggests using DB ACL to control that, but you already having something better. A different database, because it is a different service.
It might be better to think about the situation like joint bank account. It's reasonable to a have a joint bank account with your spouse. It is not so reasonable to have a joint bank account with Mary from accounting, because that make it easier to direct deposit your payroll. There is separation there for a reason, and yes, that does make things harder.
That's the point, it is not an accident.
The whole point is that integration between services is going to be hard, so you'll have less of that, and you'll have that along very well defined boundaries. That means that we can have proper boundaries and contracts between different areas, which lead us to better modularity, thus allowing easier development, deployment and management.
If that isn't something you want, that is fine, just don't go into the microservice architecture. Because a monolith architecture is just fine, but a Frankenstein creation of a microservice architecture with shared database is not. Just ask Mary from accounting…

This is the result of an art trade (or collab) I did with Michellle Walker (an artist who draws). The point of the piece is to describe some kind of mysterious and nostalgic atmosphere. (I have spent more time in this piece than what I'm willing to admit.) This piece is a bit experimental from a formal point of view. The idea was to set all the main motifs of the whole piece in very few measures (basically the introduction) and then develope them in some kind of improvisational style. So basically the consistency of the work comes from the constant use of these little elements and the aesthetic of the whole piece. I also make use of recurrent motifs you can find in other works by me, like the one/s you can see between measure 2 and 3. (I hope I'm not repeating myself too much haha.) The first motif can be seen in my Memories piece and the other one is based in the same intervals as the main theme in "Gwyn, Lord of Cinder." And interestingly combining both creates some kind of mutated version of the first theme in the 3rd movement of Brahms' 3rd symphony. I got a lot of inspiration from Scriabin and you can see his mystic chord in some occasions. (At least the main harmony of the chord.) The idea was to create some kind of impressionistic piece with Chopinesque and jazz hues. And I also used a progression in measure 15 that pretty much comes from a madrigal by Gesualdo ("Moro lasso"). The best part of the piece is probably around measures 21-24. (In my opinion.) That climax and the sweet chords that descend are inspired in Debussy. Other inspirations are Ravel, Brahms and jazz in general. By the way, this is probably my best looking piano score I have ever done, and I'm quite proud about that. Anyways, I hope you will enjoy it and I'm open to criticism and feedback.
Hello everyone, I am back, this is my new piece, hope you like it.
