Compensation and benefits
Big company:
By deciding to work for a large company you are almost guaranteed a decent starting salary, and often also benefits including health insurance, onsite canteens and gym memberships.
Startup companies tend to lack the financial resources to be able to offer impressive salaries and employee benefits. However, it's easier to get hired as many startups are currently hiring. To read more about the experience of working in a startup, we recommend this article by Ventureburn.
Learning opportunities
Big company:
A large company is often a great place to learn and subsequently master and maximise your skillset. They tend to provide internal training and an excellent technical foundation that will be useful throughout your working career.
Startup: You will be expected to possess a good general knowledge of your field before getting started. You may also find that at a startup you have to work in areas not strictly related to the position for which you were hired. However, this can be a great learning opportunity and broaden your skillset.
Big company:
As a general rule large companies possess a substantial user base and this tends to mean that you can reach out to many people through your work. This being said, when a large number of people work together it can be difficult to stand out.
At a startup you will most likely be working longer hours and have more responsibilities. This often means that you will see a speedy, direct and satisfying impact as a result of your own work within the company.
Future career prospects
Big company:
Working for a large and renowned company looks excellent on a CV and will subsequently help you advance within your sector. You may also have the chance to work up the corporate ladder and be promoted. This being said, promotion may take years and does not come with a guarantee. To get an idea of how working at the big company of your dreams feels like from the career point of view, you can look online for company reviews' sites, in which employees of big groups such as KPMG or Tui Travel are eager to tell the pros and cons of becoming a colleague of them.
With a startup there is always the chance that the company in question may never be a success and could simply disappear after just a few years in the business. This being said, experience in a startup company looks excellent on a CV as well, as it demonstrates that you are willing to take the initiative and run professional risks in your desired sector.
By considering the above aspects with regard to your decision to join a big company or a startup you will find yourselves well on the way to making a great first career move after graduating. Just remember to do your research and carefully consider your strengths and weaknesses before committing to a decision.

Women and the Church
from The Commonweal, February 14, 1964, 603
Mary F. Daly, S.T.L., Fribourg (Switzerland)
published in Wir schweigen nicht länger! (We Won't Keep Silence Any Longer!), Interfeminas-Verlag, 1964, pp.106-107
I was ashamed when I read the excellent article by Rosemary Lauer on Women and the Church (Dec. 20) ashamed that I had not written it, ashamed for all of us who should be articulate about this subject and have been silent. Granted, there are excuses for us, for we have been subtly taught that our semi-human status in the Churchalways white-washed, to be sure, but semi-human all the same - arises from the nature of things. And in grade school, high school, and even in college and university we have been told that God has revealed that it should be this way. Now, who could argue with that? True, some of us managed to reach the point at which we understood that it is highly questionable that God has revealed any such thing. But it is difficult to shake off the inhibiting effects of myth. Can anyone of us doubt that it is difficult, especially when divine authority has been called upon to justify ideas which are amazingly incoherent in themselves and to sanction situations which are flagrantly unjust?
But lets not make excuses. There are some of us who did break through the myth, who have thought and said many of the things that Professor Lauer has written. Why didnt we write it then? Professor Lauer has had the courage to say what cries out to be said, and she will be rewarded with some praise, and also with uncomprehending abuse and irrelevant criticism. All the clichés and platitudes about the nature of woman (which woman?) will rise to the challenge, as they always do in such cases. And, of course, some of the scholastically formed will find difficulties with her treatment of St. Thomas and miss the point of the article. It is only slightly amazing that Aristotle and St. Thomas, inhabiting their respective centuries, thought and missedas they did concerning women. What is truly phenomenal is that these ideas persist in the twentieth century. While St. Thomas taught that there is no greater or lesser degree in possession of an essence, there actually are Thomist professors teaching now that there is a difference arising from sex in the essence itself and that consequently men and women have analogous rights. Analogous equalityisnt this truly ingenious? But perhaps such subtleties are beyond the grasp of the female mind. A ludicrously large number of times I have met Catholic college women, from schools in various parts of the country, who have described the opening day of a philosophy course, when the priest professor announced: Women will never understand philosophy, or, Women will never be logicians, and then illogically proceed to teach his course.
What is most astonishing of all about Professeur Lauers article is not even the facts that it relates, but the fact thatin view of the factsthis article is so unique. There should be a barrage of such essays, and of scholarly books which treat the history of the problem.
This much I know: the beginnings of these articles and these books (how badly we need these books, especially!) are already in the minds and on the lips of many of us. Andthis is both a prophecy and a promisethey will come.

What is a Dog Flea? - A parasite that lives predominantly on canines. 'Dog flea' is the common name, but you can also find information under its specie name, Ctenocephalides canis. These tiny pests feed off the blood of house pet and wild dogs; however they are also known to transfer onto other house pets, such as cats, and also on to humans. They are hardy insects which need to be exterminated at the earliest opportunity. If they are left to feed, multiply and move around the house you will need to seek the appropriate means of getting rid of the infestation, and this costs money and time. But more importantly they will drive your poor animal mad - the bites can itch and cause real discomfort.
Dog Flea Protection - These specie of flea are similar to others in that they have no wings, but an incredible ability to jump over 150 times their own body length and 80 times their body height. This may not sound a lot, considering they only grow up to approximately 2-3mm in length, but it does mean they can spring themselves from pet to pet and pet to human with little detection.
The Dog Flea and Diseases - It is reported that fleas are responsible for carrying historic diseases such as the Black Death, and also that they spread tapeworms, specie name Dipylidium caninum. Therefore, if you find that your house pet is infected, then it would be wise to also check the area where the pet sleeps and also any family members that have come in close proximity to the area and pet. As they are able to lurk in the smallest of spaces, it is worth checking bedding, under bowls, in any upholstery and in cracks in flooring, walls and in carpets and rugs. Be thorough!
There have been over 2300 different species of flea acknowledged across the globe and the ever increasing variety of hosts (canines, felines, squirrels, rats, house mice for example), make them very difficult to control and monitor. A female adult is able to produce 950 eggs in its lifetime if they are left to feed and live. These parasites can reach up to 1.5 years old, although on average it is believed that only survive 2-3 months. However, you won't want them to live very long if they infest your home and pets, so act quickly and with the best products and methods available.
If you believe your have dog fleas in your home (major signs and symptoms of the dog flea could include your pet repetitively itching, scratching, biting specific parts of their body and a reddening of their skin), click through to our getting rid of fleas page for ways of doing away with the nasty insects.
If your pet keeps having problems with fleas, you may need to consider Dog Health Insurance to help subsidize dog flea treatment. Health insurance for dogs will help pay for the treatment of ill health caused by fleas and could save you money further down the line. The costs of last minute visits to the veterinary and expensive meds could quickly leave you out of pocket, so get quotes to cover illnesses caused by parasites and any prescriptions or emergency hospital treatment. If there is any doubt about the health of your pets, or problems linked with parasites such as fleas, ticks, mites or lice consult your local Vet as soon as possible for professional assistance. The Vet will be able to diagnose any problems and will be able to prescribe the best treatment and any necessary medication.

No - only camera. But there is a slim chance it could work if the portable storage drive was formatted in the same way camera storage is.
Tested with a bus powered USB3 drive and a usb flash drives, both didn't work. USB3 drive was mac formatted, 1 flash drive FAT32, 1 OS Journal Extended, notification stating couldn't read inserted media popped up once.

The bitter, nearly yearlong recall saga of Santa Ana school trustee Nativo V. Lopez ended formally Tuesday with the swearing in of his replacement and the election of board officers, signaling a new chapter for the troubled 61,000-student district.
Recall supporters, who packed the boardroom at the Santa Ana Unified district's headquarters on Chestnut Avenue, cheered when newly elected trustee Rob Richardson assumed Lopez's former seat.
"It is my hope that we can restore credibility to this board by conducting business in an open manner," Richardson told an audience that included Santa Ana Mayor Miguel A. Pulido and Councilman Jose Solorio. "The day has passed of board members going directly to staff members and telling them how to do their jobs."
The audience erupted in applause.
Lopez, a longtime immigrants-rights activist who critics said was a divisive force in the community, made a brief appearance later in the evening but left without making any comments. However, several of his supporters made speeches defending the deposed trustee.

Bucharest, Romania - Blizzards swept parts of eastern Europe on Friday, closing roads and causing traffic accidents, travel delays and leading to medical evacuations.
In Romania, one of the worst affected areas, authorities said main highways in the south and east were made impassable due to the heavy snow. More than 40 trains were not running due to snow on the track.
Senior emergency situations official Raed Arafat said authorities evacuated 622 people who needed dialysis and 126 pregnant women.
Serbia's state television reported that 17 people, including six children, were injured in a pileup caused by the wintry weather on the outskirts of the southern city of Nis.
Heavy snow and strong winds disrupted traffic in southern Serbia and snow piled up to two-meters high, closing several roads.
Bulgarian authorities said some 650 villages across the country were without electricity due to high winds and heavy snow, while the national road service said that snow plows were unable to operate due to the conditions.
Temperatures are forecast to drop to minus 20 C at the weekend and Bulgarian authorities issued a severe weather warning for 20 out of the country's 28 regions, telling people to stay indoors.
In Croatia, the temperatures dipped below freezing even along the country's Adriatic coast where high winds halted some ferry traffic to the islands and over the bridges along the coastline.
In Montenegro, bad weather caused traffic delays and authorities urged people to stay indoors. Villages were virtually cut off in the worst-hit northern part of the country.
Elsewhere, temperatures in Germany plunged as low as minus 25 degrees Celsius overnight, after storm "Axel" sucked in icy air from the Arctic.
In northern Europe, which is accustomed to subzero temperatures, it was bitterly cold but sunny, plummeting to minus 23 C Friday morning in Helsinki, Finland, the same temperature recorded in Latvia.
Strong gales off the coast of western Norway caused the cancellation of a ferry and on a major rail section west of Copenhagen, Denmark, there were delays due to the icy weather.
Jovana Gec in Belgrade, Serbia; Frank Jordans, in Berlin; Veselin Toshkov in Sofia, Bulgaria; and Jan M. Olsen in Copenhagen, Denmark, contributed to this report.

PERTH AMBOY — With the design for a major overhaul of Perth Amboy's 86-year-old train station in its final stage, the city is proceeding with plans to redevelop the entire area surrounding it.
Perth Amboy intends to apply to the state Department of Transportation for transit village designation, a move that opens up millions in grant monies from the state for a variety of redevelopment initiatives.
The designation was created by the state and NJ Transit to give municipalities incentives to redevelop or revitalize the areas around train stations, including the construction of housing and commercial development.
The Transit Village initiative has been around since 1999 and nearly 30 other towns in the state have taken advantage of it, including Dunellen, Metuchen, New Brunswick, South Amboy and South Orange in Middlesex County.
Some of the other transit villages around the state include Bloomfield, Montclair and Orange in Essex County; Bound Brook and Somerville in Somerset County; Cranford, Elizabeth, Plainfield and Rahway in Union County; Matawan in Monmouth County; Journal Square/Jersey City in Hudson County; Rutherford in Bergen County; and Morristown and Netcong in Morris County.
Perth Amboy has been unable to apply for the designation for financial reasons, according to Mayor Wilda Diaz.
Diaz said she knew when she took office in 2008 that she wanted to renovate the train station, along Smith and Maple streets, and the area around it, but first had to address the city's significant financial debt accumulated by her predecessor, Joseph Vas, who is in federal prison for corruption.
"We were so preoccupied the first two years after my election with the financial crisis and the issues that Vas left that any ideas for the train station couldn't be addressed," Diaz said. "But, going into my third year, I started to advocate to NJ Transit for renovation of the train station, to make it more accessible to people who want to use it and in compliance with the (federal) Americans With Disabilities Act."
Now, NJ Transit is in the final stage of plans to redesign the station where riders have to climb about 20 steep steps to get to their trains.
With NJ Transit aboard, the city took the first step toward transit village designation by working with Together North Jersey, a nonprofit agency associated with Rutgers University's Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy. Together New Jersey provided funding and assistance for a comprehensive redevelopment plan for the train station area and downtown Perth Amboy.
Under the plan, the redevelopment area would be defined to the west by the railroad tracks and Oak Street, to the north by New Brunswick Avenue and Fayette Street, to the east by High and Second streets, and to the south by Market and Gordon streets.
The plan took six months and results were announced earlier this month. Diaz promises the city will do the rezoning necessary to start executing the plan within six months and will then apply to the state for transit village designation.
"It's all about the economy," the mayor said. "We have to encourage investment. If we want tourists to come to our city, we have to make it a transit village."
The plan, known as "Perth Amboy Bay City Transit District Strategy," states "redeveloping the train station area is in the most critical step in unlocking the potential value of the train station."
Diaz said that the train station is a 10-minute walk from the city's waterfront - both the Arthur Kill and Raritan Bay—as well as historic sites such as the Proprietary House, where the state's last royal governor lived when the American Revolution began.
The plan includes moving the main entrance of the train station to Smith Street and creating new public open spaces and a civic arrival area; reuse of the upper levels of older commercial buildings in the redevelopment zone for housing; new parking spaces including a parking garage; and dedicated bicycle lanes or paths that lead to the waterfront.
Constructed by the Central Railroad of New Jersey in 1928, the station is in the heart of the city's business district on what is now the North Jersey Coast Line.
It's also listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the New Jersey Register of Historic Sites.
Diaz said she hopes approval for a transit village designation will coincide with the renovation of the train station.

Aston Villa defender Carlos Cuellar has admitted he would jump at the chance to return to Rangers.
The 29-year old Spaniard left Ibrox for the English Premier League three years ago but his future is clouded after falling down the pecking order at Villa.
It is believed that 'Gers boss Ally McCoist is keen to bring him back to Glasgow and Cuellar admits he would be open to the move if Villa are.
"Obviously I have to find out what Villa want me to do but I'm very surprised to hear that Rangers want me back," he told the Daily Record.
"A lot of people have been talking about it on the internet and on Twitter saying, 'I want Carlos back - or Carlos has to be here'.
"It's exciting because Rangers, for me, has so many good memories.
"It's exciting if there is a possibility to go back because all of those good memories come back - the city, the club, the people, how much they loved me and how much I loved them.
"Then there is the Champions League and the chance to win trophies again. Who wouldn't be excited about something like that?"
He added: "I only left because I was told if I wanted to have a chance of playing for the national team then I had to leave Scotland and move to the Premiership or return to La Liga.
"Three years ago I thought I had a chance and I did what I had to do. I was listening to people who were part of the national team. I did what they advised.
"But now I can follow my own dream and I won't let other people tell me what is best.
"I know myself what will make me happy. I was so happy at Rangers and this time, if I get the chance to return, then I will follow what I want to do."

Artist's Statement
Art is a
search, a search for something indefinable and
inconstant. Yet the search always remains, there can
never be an end to the questing, for the answers are
always like half-glimpses, like the sighting of an
angel, which can only be seen out of the furthest corner
of the eye, if it is even there at all. And yet,
something tangible does result; these are the paintings,
results of the search, but never the end of it.
There are many things that are timeless and always
relevant, such as the human figure and it's place in the
universe, the human soul and spirit - things invisible
and underneath which put into perspective our ant-like
existence; these things are important.
Go away trivial, humdrum, menial and stale. Come here
bright, profound, substantial and glowing, for your
wings are endless, your possibilities infinite; why
consider anything less?
The works are
mostly painted in acrylic on canvas. Sources include:
mummies, classical and gothic statues, aztec figures, religious imagery,
egyptian figures and architecture,
byzantine art, stained glass.
Influential artists
include Rothko, Van Gogh, Munch and
Current work is
touring a number of Cathedrals across the UK from 2006-8
including Bradford, Carlisle, Lincoln and York.
About Daniel
Paulo's work by the Very Rev Keith Jones, Dean of York
Daniel Paulo's exhibition of angelic
forms in the Chapter House of York Minster was a fascinating
match with its site. The first impression is of figures
against a background; but closer inspection shows that the
angels rather emerge through the background colour and
texture. We do not know (do not need to know) whether they
are appearing or disappearing. In a setting like this,
where light is filtered through so much glass, the sense of
transcendence and richness is revealed over and over again.
You keep looking at them, and they yield more and more.
About Daniel
Paulo's work by Viola Jones, Mrs. Dean of York
a member of the Minster Exhibitions Committee I was
delighted to help select Daniel's work for showing over Lent
and Easter.
As an art historian, I have
appreciated Daniel's connections with imagery of the past.
There are strong echoes, in the dignity and distance of his
elongated figures, of the great mosaics of Ravenna or Daphni.
At the same time, his jewelled colours, along with his use of broken outlines, give his figures a tantalising sense of
movement, and interplay with light, that is reminiscent of
stained glass, and forms a particularly happy correspondence
with the setting of York Minster.
Daniel has assimilated these and other
influences and made something entirely his own; timeless,
yet shifting, and expressive of our own fragile moment now.
About Daniel
Paulo's work by David Stone:
Daniel Paulo's abstractions are
bold, confident paintings, built up around themes of
expressive gestures and unidentifiable shapes.
They tend to have a vertical dynamic and presented in a
portrait format; a method that traditionally encourages
us to look for the human subject in amongst the deluge
of amorphous forms. Armed with this insight the
mixture of shapes begins to take on a loose cohesion.
Figures can be deciphered as refracted motifs or
distorted effigies, often seated in an armchair-like
frame, suspended before a background of rough and
oppressive colour.
The real interest in Paulo's
work is the processes he applies to his subject matter.
What starts as an engagement with a figurative form ends
with a subversive palimpsest of forceful weighty colour.
The subject is broken down into component parts, twisted
and inverted beyond recognition, then reconfigured into
obscure creations. These are compelling and
haunting images, with a depth that draws the viewer
through the intense convoluted maze of lines. Yet
through the combination of jutting forms and contrasting
colour, there is a type of staccato rhythm, giving the
painting a feeling of animation, as we shift between
what we see and what we infer.

Alibaba and OSB Holding, an authorized dealer of Alibaba, held the Online Export Forum 2015 on November 11 with the theme of "Increasing Competitive Abilities of Export Enterprises via E-commerce with the EU-VN FTA".
Leaders in the export sector and e-commerce gathered together to discuss the opportunities presented from agreements such as the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) and the TPP. The primary content focused on solutions to increasing the competitive ability of enterprises and support industries in exporting and expanding markets to the EU and the US via Alibaba's platform.
Mr. Tran Xuan Thuy, Vietnam Director of Alibaba, spoke of the importance of applying e-commerce in increasing the competitive ability of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), especially export enterprises. He believes that e-commerce is the key to promoting exports in the future using the experience of Alibaba over the last 16 years.
The competitive ability of Vietnamese enterprises in particular and of products with Vietnamese origin is considered to be poor, according to Mr. Tran Thanh Hai, Deputy Director of the Export - Import Department at the Ministry of Industry and Trade. Mr. Hai shared solutions in applying e-commerce in identifying markets for Vietnamese products. In his view, though the economies of many countries may be slipping Vietnam's has the potential to rise. "Vietnam is small in the rankings but not small in potential," he said.
Dr. Le Dang Doanh, senior economist and former Director of the Central Institute for Economic Management, shared his knowledge on the challenges, opportunities, and preparations necessary for export enterprises to penetrate into the EU market after the FTA comes into being. The FTA, he said, is a huge push for Vietnam's exports in the 2016-2020 period.
Talking about the solutions of Alibaba, Mr. Tran Dinh Toan, Deputy General Director of OSB Holdings, explained their Gold Supplier service, which focuses on increasing competitive abilities to enter into international markets, especially the EU. He also shared the experience and difficulties in the development of major enterprises so that SMEs can adopt a better direction.
This was the first of four similar events in four cities: Hanoi (November 11), Da Nang (November 18), Ho Chi Minh City (November 19), and Can Tho (November 21).

I am definitely at a loss for words. Scott, you and Rhinodawg really put a lot of things into perspective. Scott I will be praying for you daily, and praying for the dawgs to deliver on your wish, I think they will. Rhino, will pray for your continued peace and understanding, your story certainly helps me keep the faith. The statements and comments by all of you keeps reaffirming the decision that I made to be the Black sheep of an LSU Graduate family and attend Louisiana Tech. The Louisiana Tech Family is just the best!
My daughter will be attending Louisiana Tech next year and mostly because she has always heard me speak of how TECH was a family and they are just some of the best people I ever had the privilege of getting to know. This thread reaffirms that.
Scott, I wish you the best as I am sure everyone else does and so proud of the job you and the team did in those years, will always be proud of you guys and Louisiana Tech.

RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Felician College cross-country runner Rob Albano (Pompton Plains, N.J./Pequannock Township) has been chosen as the 2013 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year, CACC commissioner Dan Mara announced today.
Albano is the second student-athlete in Felician history to earn the honor, joining men's basketball player Devon Young in 2011. As the CACC's winner, he becomes eligible for the national NCAA Division II Conference Commissioners Association Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year award.
A two-time Capital One Academic All-American, Albano was named Felician's Senior Male Student-Athlete of the Year in May. He is the CACC's only two-time Men's Runner of the Year, and the first Felician harrier to earn all-region honors twice. He owns the five fastest 8,000-meter times in program history.
In the 2012 cross-country season, Albano won all four regular-season races that he finished. He then captured his second consecutive CACC Runner of the Year award by finishing first in the league championship meet on Oct. 21 in Philadelphia. Albano capped his career with an eighth-place result at the NCAA Division II East Regional Championship.
A 2009 graduate of Pequannock Township High, Albano owns a 3.76 grade-point average while majoring in elementary education. He is an 18-time CACC Runner of the Week, owns 12 Felician course records, and was the frontrunner on two Golden Falcon conference championship teams. He will complete his degree requirements in January 2014.
Wilmington University senior softball pitcher Katie Warrington was selected as the 2013 CACC Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year for the second consecutive year. More information is available at http://www.caccathletics.org/news/20130813-caccscholarathletesoftheyear.

Hello my name is Elizabeth and I am currently a stay at home mom. My husband Shelby and I got married on April 2nd 2011, seriously one of the best days of my life. Not long after we got married he started to talk about children. He actually convinced me to have a baby. I'm sure that doesn't happen often the husband talking the wife into children, but from there we began planning a baby. We were renting a lovely house and I was already planning a nursery when I got a call from our landlord, he had sold the house when we still had a month on the lease. We were able to move in with a friend, but when that didn't work out I called my mom and she agreed to let us live with her.
I was working full time, if not more and when I moved in with my mom something changed in the company I was working for. After three and a half years with them, they let me go. I remember yelling at my boss "WHO IS GOING TO HIRE A GIRL WHO IS 7 MONTH PREGANAT?" then hanging up. Who calls someone to fire them? So to recap I was pregnant, married, living in my mom's house, and now out of work. I had soon found a job that didn't care that I was pregnant because it was temporary for the holidays and I worked for them until I pulled something in my back, which put me on bed rest. So the company had to let me go and I became a stay at home mom before my son was even born.
During all of this I was doing some prenatal care, but had very little due to issues with me being married but us having different last names. It made getting Medicaid very difficult. When I finally got it, I was about five months. The doctor had told me even though I had missed a few prenatal test that everything was still right on track. The week before my due date I had a doctor's appointment the same day my husband had a job interview. My appointment was in the morning and his interview the afternoon. During my appointment the doctor had said that she thought my son was a little on the small side. She mentioned that he may not have the room he needed to grow anymore due to the size of my body. She tried to get me to go in that night to be induced. Mind you I was only 39 weeks and I didn't want to just spring it on everyone, so I asked if I could have a week to plan and tell family. Thinking back now, I think she just didn't want me to have Blake on Valentine's Day. Later that day Shelby had his interview and he got the job. They were very nice, letting him start the Friday after I was induced.
I went in at noon on Valentine's Day 2012 to be induced. It started off well, but contractions didn't start till 1 am on the 15th. I had a few complications after that. They thought the Pitocin was making my son's heart rate drop. They kept turning it off and on to see if it would help. From there I could only lay a certain way for everything to be okay with him, when they finally got it to work correctly and Blake's heart rate was steady it was about 10pm. The doctor came in and said that if I didn't have him by midnight I was going to have a C-section. Being a first time mom, that is exactly what I did not want to happen. The nurses came in and even though I was only 9 centimeter dilated they stretched me out and had me push anyways. As I was pushing I began to tear and ended up with an episiotomy. I don't recommend it. As I pushed Blake out the doctor and nurses mentioned to me that his cord was wrapped around his neck, which might have been the reason his heart rate kept dropping. At 11:03 pm on February 15th, 2012 I gave birth to a perfectly healthy 7 pound 5 ounces little boy named Blake Lee.
Flash forward to now. I spend a lot of my free time now volunteering at a nonprofit pregnancy and family center. We help moms in need with diapers, wipes, gently used clothing, baby furniture and toys. It's such a rewarding way to spend my time. Blake loves hanging out there, and loves meeting all the kids that come and go.
Time sure does fly though, my little man is two years old. My husband is now the youngest store manager in his district with the shortest amount of time under his belt. My mom still travels a ton including a trip to Mexico, China, and Brazil coming up, and I spend as much time doing whatever I can with Blake.

As long as humans have been reading and writing, thinkers and researchers have been studying trees and their immense impact on our world.
We know they're powerful carbon sinks, sucking up carbon emissions and helping purify our air and limiting runaway climate change. We know their extensive root systems act like giant sponges, helping to sop up rainwater during storms and prevent erosion. At all stages of their life cycle, they provide habitats for other living things from moss to lichen to insects to birds to delightful Disney-esque woodland creatures.
With all of the things trees do for the world, it's easy to wonder: What other ways do trees influence our lives? When people say they feel better after a long walk in the woods, is there a psychological, or even physiological, reason for that? According to scientists: yes. There really is.
The physical health benefits of trees are hard to deny.
A 2014 study in Environmental Pollution tried to quantify the health benefits of trees in America. Looking at data from 2010, they determined that each mature tree removes 17 metric tons of air pollution, and collectively, trees prevented 670,000 cases of respiratory problems like asthma and 850 human deaths. A 2015 study of residents in a Toronto neighborhood found that people who reported better health lived on streets with more than 10 trees. Researchers were able to equate those improved health perceptions with an income increase of $10,000 or a relative age of seven years younger.
Being around trees isn't necessarily the only way to reap their benefits sometimes just having the ability to look at them can help.
A famous study of surgical patients recovering in a Pennsylvania hospital in the 1970s found that persons whose rooms overlooked trees recovered faster than those who didn't have that view. Japanese healers advocate for the health benefits of shinrin-yoku, ("forest bathing"), where people take long walks in the woods while inhaling complementary aromatherapy scents. A peer-reviewed study of shinrin-yoku found that it helped people lower levels of stress hormones and decrease their blood pressure, with benefits lasting up to one month.
Whatever it is that's going on in our brains at the time, it really seems that just being in the presence of trees can leave us happier and more content.
Maybe they remind us that life grows and goes on and flourishes in the toughest places. Maybe theres something about leaves, about vibrant colors, about the smell of strong wood, or the way sunshine looks dappled through summer leaves. Psychologists believe there's truth to that idea. They call spending time in nature attention restoration theory, or ART. The theory behind it is that natural environments demand so much less of our attention than cities do and that being in nature allows our brains time to rest.
Whatever it is about trees that improves our mental health, its powerful and potentially transformative. Even city planners are taking notice.
In the past decade, major cities, including Barcelona, New York, and Vancouver, have made increasing green spaces and their urban canopy a big priority. For Vancouver, this includes planting lots of new trees, legislating protections for older trees, protecting parklands, and encouraging residents to spend time outside.
Chances are, though, that you're not reading this while you're outside. Maybe you can't even get outside right now. In that case, maybe a few minutes spent looking at photographs of particularly lovely trees can give us some of the same calm, fuzzy feelings? Let's try!
Worried about your taxes? This beautiful tree has been around for 250 years longer than every American dollar in circulation.
Feeling alone? Let this beautiful moss-covered oak remind you that living things can thrive together and then call a friend to tell them you care.
Ex got you stressed? This tree has withstood winter storms for decades. Its boughs have adapted to weather them, just as you can and you will.
Hal Borland famously said, "If you would know strength and patience, welcome the company of trees."
He's right, of course. Though we'd also add in "peace of mind" too.

On 7 November 1963 'The Beatles' arrive to play Dublin's Adelphi cinema.
Reporter Frank Hall talks to John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr about fame, the Mersey sound, hair-styles, their Irish connections and George's mother, who has come to Ireland to see the show. The Beatles antics and the noise of aircraft in the background put Frank Hall's professional skills to the test.
The band is welcomed as they get off the plane at Dublin Airport by RTÉ Radio's Paul Russell who introduces them to reporter Frank Hall.

I am building my own business and need energy and positivity for when I do webinars, speak from a stage and especially when cold calling. What do you recommend?
Dear A,
Thanks for contacting us with your questions. Citrine is an excellent choice. Citrine is a crystal of abundance and can also help with self-confidence and self-esteem, concentration and overcoming fears. Blue Apatite may also be useful. This crystal is helpful for public speaking and communication. It would be best to keep the crystals on you when you are in these social situations, either by wearing them or keeping them in your pocket. I hope you enjoy working with crystals for years to come!
Crystal Blessings,

December 9-15, 2015
For All Signs: Beginning last week, Mars has been making fierce aspects to other tough planets, Uranus and Pluto. Mars represents the principle of raw, physical power. He is the original god of war and therefore "rules" knives, guns, surgical instruments, or anything that might cut, like a sword. He rules "attack" on any level, including accidental. On the mental level Mars operates through will power and can press us to take risks and take on projects we might normally be fearful to try. On the emotional level, Mars can represent anger, the rush of adrenaline, and the power to carry through with our feelings. On a spiritual level, which is his highest principle, Mars is best used as a warrior on behalf of protecting those who need personal justice.
Aries: You have been dealing with a dilemma over the past 2-3 weeks. You want very much to manage your own life with few, if any "rules" imposed upon you. This is fine. However, where does that leave the other people in your personal circle? This week they will be the squeaking wheels. It is an ongoing existential dilemma to do your own thing and also be in relationship.
Taurus: Events of this week trigger your sense of compassion and draw you into the need to assist in the healing of another. As you live into this experience, you will discover that having compassion also heals you. Your spirit will be lifted. Don't ignore the call.
Gemini: There are occasionally moments in life when we are focused upon contemplation of the deeper topics in life. Why am I here? What is my purpose? Where am I headed? Do I take action based upon my principles or am I adopting the values of someone else? Taking stock periodically brings a stronger sense of direction.
Cancer: This Christmas season is tainted with sadness for you. It happens to everyone, sooner or later. Old memories surface from the past and may seem to taunt you. Give each one the attention it is due and then move onto the next one that surfaces. Fighting them is not the best thing to do. It will just make the sad period drag on longer. But do take a fun break now and then.
Leo: You are oh, so tempted, to open the credit cards and spend, spend, spend. Your mood is expansive and optimistic this week. Enjoying your creativity and your "playmates" could break the bank. Now is not the time to go Christmas shopping lest you run up balances that will be hard to manage later.
Virgo: Mercury, your ruling planet, moves into the sector of life related to children, recreation, personal creativity, and romance. Your attention will be focused in these areas through most of January. Mercury will be retrograding for a good part of that time, so you can expect to change and re-change your mind in any of these areas. Don't consider decisions to be set in concrete.
Libra: If you feel anger brewing below the surface, speak up during a quiet moment of conversation. Don't ignore it or a sudden and unexpected episode this week may cause you to explode. Your reflexes and reactions may be too quick for your highest good. Use caution when driving, dealing with tools, and in exercise.
Scorpio: Venus entered your sign on the 4th and will be traveling "with you" through the end of this year. Her presence gives you an air of poise and people will simply like how you look. You may become interested in your personal appearance and make improvements in how you are seen. The goddess of love brings complements, small gifts, romance, or other pleasures.
Sagittarius: This is a time in which your exuberance and enthusiasm may carry you farther than you really intended to go. You will certainly have more energy to do whatever you choose, but take care that you don't promise way more than you can deliver. Your warm and generous heart could get you in trouble.
Capricorn: Mercury travels slowly through your sign between now and Feb 12. It will be going through its retrograde cycle before it moves along. Take care with any decision of importance because you likely will find reason to change your mind more than once. New information keeps popping up to muddy the works. This is normal with Mercury retrogrades. You must make multiple decisions that cause you to think deeply about who you are.
Aquarius: It is particularly important that you drive and handle tools carefully during this period. Don't allow yourself to get in a hurry to go anywhere, lest you meet with an accident. This might be on foot or in a vehicle. You may feel temperamental and in the mood to keep your own company this week. Follow this internal advice for best results.
Pisces: You have several aspects that favor romance, the arts, and things of beauty. You may be the happy recipient of small gifts, compliments or favors from others. Your mind wants to wander in the world of fantasy, daydreams, good books, and music. It is not a great week for getting things done, but you will enjoy the journey.

This is the Place Where Your Body Belongs: Performing Home
A workshop led by Joanna Russo and Phil Cramer of NEW NOISE, a critically acclaimed New Orleans theater ensemble currently in residence at Serenbe. Introduction by Malina Rodriguez, Theater Emory's Technical Theater Coordinator and Co-Founder of The Lucky Penny.
Theater Emory recently teamed up with The Lucky Penny to present a physical theater workshop to the local community. This is the Place Where Your Body Belongs: Performing Home
with NEW NOISE of New Orleans, explored some of the methods that NEW NOISE uses in devising original multi-disciplinary work. Through the medium of performance, participants asked themselves and each other one of the questions at the heart of NEW NOISE's show Oxblood: Is there a place where your body belongs?
NEW NOISE's Oxblood is currently being developed and presented in the Atlanta metro area as part of a 2016 Project Residency with AIR Serenbe. See it in performance July 22-24, 2016 at 6pm, at Deer Hollow at Serenbe.
We asked for feedback from two of the workshop participants who are rising seniors at Emory. Here's how they described their experience:
I wasn't too sure what to expect, I wasn't completely sure what I signed up for, and I definitely wasn't sure how physical my body could get, but come Saturday July 15th, I was set to take part in a two-hour physical theater workshop led by the innovative NEW NOISE of Louisiana.
I was pretty nervous as I rushed in chomping my last couple bites of lunch. The workshop began with a physical warmup reminiscent of Gaga dancing, then swiftly transitioned in to a non-stop workshop that would have moments introducing completely in-body theatrical techniques, then moments that were a physical fruition of subconscious writing on deep thought questions such as "Where is home?" and "Where does your body belong?"
Throughout the workshop, a heart of collaboration between the various disciplines of performance art was extremely clear. Being a true and blue liberal arts student who loves blurring the lines in which we confine the different medias of art, this was my jam and butter! The room was filled with artists with various backgrounds from dance to theater and spoken word artist to those who speak solely with their bodies. We would work in teams combining these backgrounds to improvised skits that blended into improvised movements that blended into improvised writing, allowing me to see the variety of natural performance from the artists in the room. As a student with a background in stage acting, I soaked in all the various media and artist's techniques that pushed my ideas of what theatrical performance could be.
The two hours went by in a blur, I honestly left wishing we had a full day to play! Alas, I will have to suffice by further supporting the NEW NOISE troupe in their performance of Oxblood at Serenbe this weekend, July 22nd-24th! I am extremely thankful for being able to take part in their workshop and would love to see more!

The NEW NOISE Workshop was, at first, simultaneously very new and familiar territory to me. As a dancer, I often do not use my voice as a vehicle of expression in performance. My instinct is my body. So, naturally, I was slightly anxious about an experimental theater workshop. With Joanna's encouraging and clear direction, that anxiety melted away as the layers of physical mediums in art began to overlap. The intrinsic similarities between art forms opened up an endless universe of loosened possibilities; no right, no wrong, just speak with your body, speak with your voice. Prompts for creative writing exercises like "describe home to you" or "where does your body belong?" lent themselves to deep-seeded realities brought to light in a myriad of qualities: playful, dark, poignant, tense, sexy, cheerful, surprising or hilarious movement phrases, to name a few. These movement phrases, supported by a vocalization and embodiment of the words written, emphasized that the mover, the speaker, and the creator are one and the same to me. It was a very powerful experience that I am very thankful to have had! Not to mention the fresh opportunity to embody an exhausted book, a creeping chicken, and a devouring automatic vacuum cleaner…

Fat Boys Water Sports LLC applied for registration of the mark HOUSEBOAT BLOB for an inflatable floating mattress for recreational use where the "user may be launched into the air and onto a body of water." Although the applicant disclaimed the right to use BLOB apart from their mark, registration was refused on the bases the mark is merely descriptive and confusingly similar to three earlier registered marks—most importantly, a registration for THE BLOB. THE BLOB registration covers "giant, inflatable, floating air bags, constructed of PVC for use by commercial, institutional, for-profit and not-for-profit youth camps, church camps and other outdoor recreation business as a component of their aquatic recreational facilities."
On appeal to the TTAB, the Board first considered the refusal on the ground that Applicant's HOUSEBOAT BLOB mark was merely descriptive of the identified goods. With respect to "BLOB," The Examining Attorney submitted various sources of evidence showing the term was used to describe aquatic equipment used in camping activities. In addition, Applicant had disclaimed the word "BLOB" on the ground that it was merely descriptive. Applicant had also claimed that the word HOUSEBOAT provided "no specific information about the nature of the goods." The Board rejected this claim in view of the fact that Applicant's own marketing materials identified the product as designed for use in houseboats. Thus, when considering the mark as a whole, the Board found it to be merely descriptive because the mark immediately identifies the purpose and nature of the goods—a blob designed for houseboats.
The Board next considered the refusal that Applicant's mark was confusingly similar to any of the three cited registered trademarks, all of which were owned by the same registrant. The Board confined its analysis to the likelihood of confusion with the cited mark THE BLOB because that registration covered goods most similar to Applicant's goods. The Board concluded the two marks were similar in both appearance and sound. The Board disagreed with Applicant's argument that THE BLOB is a double-entendre which consumers will associate with the classic movie rather than an inflatable launching pad. The Board found no evidence of such double-entendre. Finally, the Board found the presence of "THE" in the registered mark did not meaningfully distinguish the two marks.
The description of the goods in the cited THE BLOB registration was relatively narrow; it included the specific types of uses and the material from which the goods were made. Nevertheless, the Board concluded that the goods were almost identical to Applicant's goods. Both were flotation devices designed to launch individuals into bodies of water. Finally, the Board found the trade channels were legally identical—both goods are "offered to the same classes of customers."
The Board affirmed the refusal to register the mark HOUSEBOAT BLOB on the ground that it was merely descriptive, and on the ground that it was confusingly similar to the prior registered mark THE BLOB.
In re Fat Boys Water Sports LLC, Serial No. 86490930 (TTAB, April 27, 2016) [precedential].

The Commission and the High Representative set out the work still required to consolidate the progress achieved over the past years
In the run-up to the European Council in December, the European Commission and the High Representative reported today on progress made in better managing migration under the European Agenda on Migration.
With the total number of irregular crossings along the main migratory routes having decreased by 63% in 2017, collective efforts to protect the EU's external borders, cooperate with partner countries to tackle the root causes of irregular migration, improve the protection of migrants and win the fight against smugglers are showing concrete results.
Addressing root causes and saving lives
In Turkey, the EU is well on track to contract the €3 billion under the Facility for Refugees by the end of 2017. The EU Trust Fund for Africa is supporting countries facing crises with programmes worth almost €2 billion. Increased focus has been put on improving the often appalling conditions faced by migrants in Libya, in close cooperation with the UNHCR, UNICEF and the IOM. EU operations Triton and Sophia have continued to assist Member States' at sea to save lives and apprehend suspected traffickers and smugglers.
EU solidarity and support with refugees and host countries
The EU resettlement scheme adopted in July 2015 is due to be successfully completed and resettlements under the EU-Turkey Statement are continuing at a steady pace – in total, over 25,700 persons have been resettled since the launch of the schemes. The EU relocation scheme is also successfully coming to an end with over 31,500 persons have been relocate far.
Delivering on return and readmission
As regard readmission and return, progress has been made with the conclusion of an agreement on Standard Operating Procedures on return with Bangladesh. The EU will continue pursuing structured practical cooperation with other key countries under this new approach.
Next steps
Looking ahead, and noting that external and internal engagements on migration are closely interlinked, the Commission and the High Representative are calling for further concerted action by the EU, Member States and partner countries to advance in parallel and to maintain the intensity of the EU's efforts on all fronts and thereby better manage migration together.

A mayor fights back
Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno is doing something that traditionally mayors in the city don't do– he's commenting on an editorial published by the "Springfield Republican."
Normally mayors just to take it when the 'paper – known for its past habits of trying to be a kingmaker in this area – decides to spank them.
Sarno released a letter today that he sent to the 'paper criticizing them for asking him to step aside in the search for a new police commissioners.
Any reporter who has covered Sarno knows of his admiration for the police and the job they do. At the last Valley Press Club roast, Sarno was kidded for this use of the term "blue," and he took it all with a laugh.
Clearly he was not laughing today and that brings up the subject of how "The Republican" is perceived. Despite a billboard on I-91 that proudly proclaims that between the print and Web editions the 'paper is boasting of over 400,000 readers, the reality is that it has laid off reporters, cut the paper in size, and eliminated half of its daily opinion section as well as all of their business section.
No billboard can disguise the fact that this is a newspaper in severe trouble.
Sarno wasn't endorsed by the 'paper and several of his key press events were ignored by the 'paper. At this time one could say the mayor is easily more popular than the 'paper.
Since I work for a competing 'paper – a weekly – some might chalk up this observation as snarky criticism. That's not my intent. The Sarno letter is one indication of how weak the 'paper has become from a political point of view. I'm genuinely concerned if the city and the area can support a daily newspaper that can longer effectively do the job a daily newspaper can do.

Home Insurance. Saturday , February 24th , 2018 - 20:28:16 PM
Here are three reasons to look into grading your yard sooner rather than later. Any land with a sloping hill leading into your property is going to cause water to drain into your yard or driveway. That water will eventually wear away your landscaping, leaving rivers between your bushes or pools of water in your backyard and potentially causing flooding problems in your basement. If you don't fix the problem as soon as you recognize it, your property will be eaten away by water erosion, leading to a more expensive future project of having to bring soil in and re-landscape your entire yard.
By grading your yard, you'll have leveled out any problem areas, making it easier to add features like a swimming pool or fire pit. These types of projects add value to your home, especially if the houses around you already have these features. Give it a thought and maybe add this kind of renovation to the plans you have for your house when you save enough money one day.
Clearsurance found that 42 percent of the participants have not taken any steps to check their coverage. So if nearly 90 percent of the participants expressed concern a natural disaster could hit their area, why are so many failing to ensure that they are properly protected? At least to some degree, policyholders feel they are already properly covered in the event of a natural disaster. Clearsurance found that 65 percent of participants felt they had sufficient coverage.

Linkin Park Performs, 'Wayne's World' Returns
'SNL' RECAP: "Party on, Wayne." [Pause] "Party on, Garth."
This weekend's episode of Saturday Night Live offered up two very good reasons to "party on": 1) Mike Myers and Dana Carvey reprised their roles as the Illinois-based rock slackers of Wayne's World, aka Wayne Campbell and Garth Alga, and 2) Linkin Park rocked harder than an Alice Cooper concert. Watch both below!
The duo performed a short skit about the upcoming Academy Awards — "It's a veritable feast for the cinephiles among us," joked Wayne. They duo called 127 Hours some "armless fun," and Toy Story 3, well, Garth "can't believe a teenage boy doesn't want to play with his Woody anymore." Their favorite picture: "Winter's Bone." Guess why.
Linkin Park then shredded through the dark electro punch of "Waiting for the End," from their new album A Thousand Suns.
What do you think of this past weekend's episode of SNL? Tell us in the comment section below.
