Do I have to create an account to reserve a facility?
Yes, all requests must come from an Individual or an Organization. You may create an account by clicking "Sign Up" at Facilitron.com and selecting Individual, Non-Profit, or Commercial as your Account Type.
I created an account but I didn't receive my account verification email. What can I do?
If you did not receive a Facilitron account creation verification email, try the following: 1. Check your spam, junk or bulk mail folders to see if the verification email is there 2. Next, ensure that your spam blocker is not filtering email@example.com (you may add this email to your address book) 3. Check to ensure the email address you entered for your account is spelled correctly. 4. If all else fails, contact support.
What if I forgot my Username or Password?
You may use your email address (Username) to request a password reset. Select "Forgot Password" from the Log In window and enter your email address and hit send. If your email is registered with us, you will get an email reset password.
My organization is a non-profit so I signed up for a non-profit account, but I'm not receiving the non-profit rate. How do I receive the non-profit rate?
Non-profit organizations must supply their FEIN (Federal Employer Identification Number) and have it verified in the system to qualify for non-profit status. Please note, not all colleges and districts have non-profit rates.
My organization is a non-profit but we don't have a government issued FEIN (Federal Employer Identification Number). Can I sign up as a non-profit?
Non-profit organizations MUST be verified using their federally issued EIN to qualify for non-profit rates. You must register your organization as a non-profit with the federal government and supply the EIN to qualify. Please note, not all colleges and districts have non-profit rates.
I didn't have the FEIN when I signed up as a non-profit, but now I have it. How can I update my account?
Contact support to have your FEIN added to your account.
My organization isn't a non-profit but it receives a special rate from my school district. How do I receive this rate?
Any organization who receives a rate other than the commercial rate MUST have their organization assigned to that rate category with school approval. To request a special rate category, add a comment to your reservation upon checkout to have your rate reviewed, Or you may contact customer support to request a special rate category. If you have already completed your reservation request, you may also add a comment in the reservation's communication portal.
My organization isn't a technically a commercial business, but it's not a non-profit either. What rate do I receive?
Organizations that aren't non-profit or do not qualify for a particular rate category other than commercial, will be assigned the commercial rate. Please note, not all colleges and districts have non-profit rates.
What's the difference between an individual account and a non-profit or commercial account?
An individual account is for persons who are requesting to use public facilities on behalf of themselves and not on behalf of an organization. A person who is associated with one or more organizations may request on behalf of any of those organizations OR on behalf of themselves (if the request is for the personal use of facilities).
What if my organization already has an account? Can I be added to the account?
Yes, if you know your organization already has a Facilitron account and you would like your Individual Account to be associated with that organization, you may request access to that organization. Go to Facilitron.com and click "Sign Up" and select "Administrator" as the Account Type. Fill in your information including your organization name and ZIP code and our customer support team will begin the process of adding you to your organization's account.
I'm the incoming president of my organization but I can't access my organization's account. How do I have my account associated with my organization?
To have your account associated with an existing organization (and inherit its account settings and history), you must be added as a user by the account administrator. For assistance, contact support.
I want to make a request at a specific school. How do I search among just that school's facilities?
You may search for a specific school name in the search bar at facilitron.com. Or you may go to the specific school's website and look for facility rental information and the link to their Facilitron facility storefront.
I found the facility I want to request, but there appears to be no availability for any dates or times. Is the facility not available?
Schools set the availability of their facilities based on school schedules and policies. If a facility shows no availability, there may be several reasons why – for example, the school may not have released public availability yet, or the facility may be undergoing maintenance or repairs. You may contact support to find out if there's more information about a given facility.
I want to request multiple dates or multiple facilities. Do I need to make a separate reservation request for each date and/or each facility?
No. One reservation can consist of multiple dates and/or multiple facilities. For example, if you're requesting every Sunday from January thru June, your request can be configured to include 24 Sundays over 6 months. Or if you were requesting the cafeteria and 3 classrooms for one or multiple dates, all the requests go on one reservation.
I just submitted a request. When will I have to pay in full?
Payment in full isn't required until after the request has been approved. Then, typically payment is due in full 1 month from event date unless otherwise outlined by district policy.
Are the estimated fees showing during checkout the final fees for my reservation?
Public school fees presented during checkout are calculated per board policy for the particular rate schedule, time and date of a request. These fees are reviewed by the district at the time of approval and can be changed by the district administrator. Any adjustments will be reflected at the time of approval.
My request added services that I didn't request. Are these fees necessary and can they be waived?
Fees for services that are not requested are essentially REQUIRED services that school districts mandate to be added to requests for use of facilities. Services like these - custodial, event manager, utilities or restrooms - represent additional costs that districts incur and can be adjusted or waived only at the discretion of the district.
Can I be invoiced?
Yes Facilitron can invoice you for the full amount, or with an ongoing reservation, partial amounts can be invoiced (subject to district policy)
When is the insurance due on my reservation?
Insurance is due at the same time payment is due.
If I can't provide my own insurance, are there other options?
Yes, in most states Facilitron (through a 3rd party provider) offers event insurance on a per event basis that can be added to your reservation during checkout. The cost is automatically calculated based on event details and meets the requirements of the district You may also switch to Facilitron insurance at any time after you have submitted your request.
How do I know if my reservation was approved?
Requests are approved by school or district personnel. You will receive an email notifying you that your request has been approved or declined.
How long does it take to get my request approved?
The timeline for decisions by school or district personnel regarding reservation requests vary by school or district and may be affected by school holidays. Usually districts are reasonably prompt and respond within days. If your request hasn't been answered in a week, you may contact support for assistance. Facilitron does not approve requests and can only ask school personnel to review a pending reservation request on behalf of a renter.
My request was approved but now it has been declined. What do I do?
Schools understandably make using school facilities for school programs their first priority. Therefore on occasion circumstances arise that require a school event to take priority over an already approved community use request (such as, the basketball team makes the playoffs and has a heretofore previously unscheduled home game). In such cases, schools usually try to accommodate a different date or a different school in the district. You may also work with customer support to try to reschedule your event for a different school or date.
What if I need to cancel my reservation?
Renters may cancel a request at any time before it is approved. After it is approved, it can only be cancelled with district approval.
My request has been approved. What do I bring with me the day of my event?
Renters whose approved reservations meet all requirements for use by the district (insurance, payment, etc) should print and bring a copy of their Facility Use Permit which can be obtained directly from a link in the reservation approval email, or by going to the reservation itself and clicking "Permit" at the top of the reservation.
What are the liability insurance requirements?
Insurance requirements are listed during the checkout process and again in your reservation detail page. On your reservation detail page, you see the question balloon that lists insurance requirements including the certificate holder and coverage amount. If you have questions about insurance, contact support.
How do I upload my insurance?
To upload your insurance certificate, you must go to your reservation details page. In the insurance section you will find the insurance requirement details and a button to "Upload Certificate" or "Switch To Facilitron" insurance - per event coverage that meets district requirements.
What are the payment options?
Payment options include major credit cards, PayPal, eChecks, and regular check payments (by mail). To pay, navigate to your reservation details page and find the payment section.

[caption id="" align="alignright" width="320" caption="Photo: VanCityAllie on Flickr"][/caption] On the topic of blogging, I thought I might start a regular feature highlighting some notable bloggers in the snow sports industry (or, rather, who write about snow sports, no matter what their day job).
One of my favourites is VanCityAllie, partly because she's local, but partly because her life stories are just super entertaining. Plus, she takes great photos, which make all the difference on a blog.
I'm impressed with what she's experienced and accomplished at such a young age:
This the blog of a 24 year-old Vancouver girl who loves and writes about everything "Vancouver" and West Coast. This is the blog of a girl who works in Vancouver's video game industry, it's also a surfing blog, snowboarding blog, Canucks blog, gadget blog, and photography blog.
You can check out all of Allie's snowboarding content or have a look at specifics like her 2008/09 Snowboard Preview or her business trip to Japan, which included a visit to the Tokyo Burton store.

The other day a lovely customer suggested that we start a home decor advice column. What a great idea, why haven't we thought of that before?! Today we are thrilled to launch a regular newsletter and blog feature called 'Six of The Best' where we will be focusing on a different aspect of home decoration. We are kicking off with the most important component of any room design ...Lighting.
1. Turn it off! Central lights create a blank light with no shadows or interest. Just turn it off and focus on creating new light sources around the rest of the room. It will change everything!
2. Dare to be Dim As many lights as possible should be fitted with a dimmer switch, even in the bathroom! Lighting needs to be changed for different events, bright lights are acceptable when working at the dining table or bathing the kids, etc... But they need to be dimmed for dinner parties and long luxurious bathing. Change your light level as you would you clothing - different outfits for different occasions.
3. Create Layers Lamps and wall lights are an essential part of creating a mood in a room. I recommend at least 3 light sources at different heights in a living room, more if possible. Use these to create pockets of light which illuminate your favourite artwork or ornaments. Doing this will create shadows and atmosphere which add to the personality of a living space and makes a room cosy and welcoming.
4. Make a Statement The only occasion when a central pendant light is acceptable is in a hallway or over a dining table. These lights should be fabulous! Try a chandelier or something with a sharp silhouette, such as the RSG Molecular Ceiling Light or Six Arm Ceiling Light.
5. Be Odd Lights over kitchen islands are on trend, look fantastic and are super practical too. But please make sure you have an odd number, go for 3 or 5. Just like flowers in a vase, they work better when odd.
6. Take to Task Good light is necessary for working and reading, etc. A directional wall light or desk light is a wonderful thing. You don't need to flood the whole room with light, but just your work space. I suggest the gorgeous Brown & Copper Wall Light or the Retro Metal Desk Lamp.

Time: 12:00PM – 3:30PM
Location: Below Gross Reservoir
South Boulder Creek 04/02/2018 Photo Album
What does a forecast of high temperatures in the low seventies in Denver, a rescheduled doctor's appointment, and nice steady flows of 20 cfs on South Boulder Creek yield? A fishing adventure for Dave of course. Originally I aspired to make a longer trip to the Eagle River or Arkansas River; however, projected high winds across Colorado discouraged me from those options. Weather prognosticators anticipated high wind velocities of 27 MPH at both locales. Pinecliffe just west of my desired destination on South Boulder Creek was marginally better, but I concluded that I was reducing my drive time investment in the event that the gusts were not tolerable.
I arrived at the kayak parking lot by 11AM, and after assembling my Sage four weight I completed my normal fishing preparation routine and hiked to the creek. Since it was approaching noon, when I arrived streamside, I paused and munched my snack and consequently began fishing at noon. I kicked off my day with a yellow fat Albert, a beadhead hares ear nymph, and a salvation nymph.
The air temperature was in the low fifties as I began to cast, and the wind was in fact a significant hurdle throughout much of the afternoon, although it seemed to relent a bit toward the end of my venture. The creek was extremely clear and flowed at 20 CFS. Past experience at these low levels or even less taught me to approach each target spot cautiously and with a low profile.
During the first twenty minutes even these measured precautions failed to yield a fish, although admittedly the quality of the water was lacking compared to that which I would encounter over the remainder of my day. I was beginning to consider a change in flies, when I approached a long smooth pool with a very deep trough near the far bank. I restrained myself from getting too close and lobbed a long cast to the top of the faster run that entered the deep section, and after a five foot drift the fat Albert suddenly plunged toward the depths. I raised my arm and connected instantly with a decent brown trout that seemed to materialize from the brown stream bottom. The fight was on, but I quickly gained the upper hand and guided the wild beauty into my net. What a start to my day! A thirteen inch brown rested in my net with a beadhead hares ear nymph firmly embedded in its lip, and I was quite pleased to extract such a noble fighter from the challenging clear pool.
This episode symbolized the remainder of the afternoon, although the size of the remaining catches failed to measure up to number one. I continued my upstream migration at a steady pace and added eighteen trout to my count. All except two were brown trout, and the two exceptions were rainbows in the ten inch range, but they compensated for their lack of size with sheer beauty.
After the first hour the fish count perched on four, and I endured a dry spell of fifteen minutes. During this time several small trout elevated and inspected the fat Albert, but they shunned the large offering and returned to their holding positions. I was having some success with the nymphs, but now the residents of South Boulder Creek seemed to be distracted by the large surface offering. I opted to downsize and removed the three fly dry/dropper lineup and replaced it with a peacock body hippy stomper. I fished the smaller foam attractor solo for a bit with no results, so I added a beadhead hares ear and beadhead sparkle wing RS2.
The shift in approach paid huge dividends, and these flies remained in place during the remainder of the afternoon. The trout overwhelmingly favored the hares ear, although two eager eaters chomped the hippy stomper. The sparkle wing RS2 failed to attract interest, and I removed it after a thirty minute trial period.
The wind was a constant nuisance, but it abated enough to make casting a reasonable endeavor. The warmth of the strong spring sun counterbalanced the wind, and I thoroughly enjoyed my continuous progression along South Boulder Creek. My initial foray into the South Boulder Creek canyon was a solid success, and I hope to return before the water managers initiate their inevitable fluctuation in flows.

There are so many things that go on behind the scenes to prepare for a season of runway shows and events during Kansas City Fashion Week. The committee, designers, hair & makeup artists, and stylists are continually working on every detail of each show months in advance. As soon as one season ends, it's on to the next!
Promotional photo shoots are one aspect of each season that are extremely important leading up to the week of runway shows. These photos are used for print advertising, social media, and marketing to promote and share what's planned for the runway each season!

You've finished your exams, you've handed in your dissertation and you're no longer a PR student. So now what?
Before you chuck all your books in the bin and spend the next few weeks in your pants eating shortbread and watching Jeremy Kyle, here's a few things you might like to consider doing.
Make a note of important ideas in your text books. Whether that be a summary of important info from each book, or even just taking a photo of pages you found particularly inspiring. Then sell the books on at a bargain price to the students in the years below you. Don't wait too long or they'll be out dated and you'll have problems clawing back any cash on them.
Connect on LinkedIn and Twitter with all your fellow students and PR academics. If you've not already done this, do it before it's too late. Students in your class will (hopefully) go on to work in PR and you'll be starting out together so in fifteen years time when you're all Head of Communications somewhere it'll be useful to have a network of peers to bounce ideas off of. PR academics are incredibly well connected so it's worth connecting with them too as they'll be able to flag job opportunities not only now, when you're starting out, but further down the line too.
volunteer to write a guest blog for a well known PR blogger
You've not got your university work as an excuse now so if your blog has been languishing untouched for a while, now's the time to dust it off and get writing. Blogs are a brilliant way of networking with other PR professionals and getting your name out in front of potential employers. Even better, volunteer to write a guest blog for a well known PR blogger which will not only raise your profile but also get traffic driven back to your site.
A portfolio is something that will stay with you throughout your professional life and will be constantly updated. It's a brilliant way of showcasing ideas, your writing abilities and any coverage you may have achieved on internships or work placements. Make sure it's printed on good quality paper and presented in a tidy fashion.
Setting yourself an annual goal is a brilliant way to ensure you don't stop learning once you leave university.
Yes, you want a job but beyond that what standards are you going to set for yourself? Setting yourself an annual goal is a brilliant way to ensure you don't stop learning once you leave university. You might decide to write a book, blog every day for a year, sign up for a CPD programme with a professional body or just have a certain amount of Twitter followers by this time next year. Whatever you set your sights on, figure out how you're going to achieve it and then go for it!

Thyroid imbalance could be the source of your biggest health problems. But many people don't realize that their symptoms are frequently caused by a thyroid disorder or imbalance.
How many people do you know have thyroid disease? You probably know a friend or relative or coworker who has it. Unfortunately we don't talk about thyroid disease that much. Why? My assumption is:
– Only 2,727 people in the UK were diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2011 and less than 1% of thyroid cancer cases each year in the UK are linked to major lifestyle choices and other risk factors. That is a very small percent of population in comparison to other cancersRELATED: RECOMMENDED PLANS FOR YOU
– Most people have a Subclinical Thyroid problem and never seek treatment. Undiagnosed prevalence of Thyroid disorders is about 13 million (based on estimates from the AACE, as reported by Reader's Digest), approx. 1 in 20 [1,2]
– It is one of those diseases with no visible or extreme problems to help someone notice that you are sick
– It is a disease that requires medication (hormone replacement therapy) for life, so it just becomes 'who you are', not a disease
One in eight women will develop a thyroid disorder during her lifetime. And, the number of people suffering from thyroid disorders continues to rise each year. But the bigger problem is that nearly 60 percent of these people are completely unaware of their condition—let alone how to heal it.
Millions of people are suffering—trying all kinds of diets, pills, and treatments to clear their mental fog, to boost energy and lose weight. Unfortunately, they will all fail unless they learn how to heal the underlying thyroid issues.
Hidden signs of thyroid problems:
– weight changes
– fatigue, exhaustion
– foggy brain
– aches, pains and weakness in muscles and joints, fibromyalgia like symptoms
– Hoarse voice and/or difficulty swallowing
– hair loss, hair changes, skin changes
– cold intolerance or heat intolerance
– depression and/or anxiety, panic attacks
– recurrent headaches
– constipation, bowel problems, diarrhea, irritable bowel
– high cholesterol, unresponsive to cholesterol medications
– infertility or miscarriage
– low sex drive
– unrefreshing sleep
In our busy and stressful lives, probably every second person you ask will have a few or more of these symptoms. We learn to accept them as part of our ageing process, part of being adult.
However, given the depth of suffering, we can no longer ignore that so many people are burned out, confused, and under functioning.
All these hidden signs of undiagnosed thyroid problems can dramatically increase your risk of obesity, heart disease, depression, anxiety, hair loss, sexual dysfunction, infertility and a host of other symptoms and health problems.
Every cell in the body has receptors for thyroid hormones. These hormones are responsible for the most basic aspects of body function, impacting all major systems of the body. You can think of the thyroid as the central gear in a sophisticated engine. If that gear breaks, the entire engine goes down with it.
With the proper care, it's completely possible to lift the fog and feel like yourself again.

1. Two layers of worsted weight knit around the ears. Super Warm!
2. Ties at the chin for a snug fit. Stays put!
3. Comes in sizes up to children's size 10. Bring on the big kids!

Facing major financial decisions can be complex and confusing. However, only about one in five Australians obtain financial advice. ASIC's MoneySmart has developed the Financial advice toolkit to help you navigate the financial advice process with confidence.
The new toolkit will step you through the financial advice process, providing tips on choosing an adviser and explaining:
You can also create a customised 'to do' list which can be modified to suit your personal financial needs.
Choosing an adviser
When choosing an adviser, you should do your own research and speak with a few advisers before you make a decision. This presents an opportunity to ask questions about their financial qualifications and experience, advice fees, financial products and sales incentives.
The toolkit includes a link to ASIC's Financial Advisers Register to check an adviser's credentials. The register provides details about their licence, authorisations, experience and qualifications.
Prepare to meet an adviser
Before meeting with an adviser, you should consider your financial goals and advice needs. This will help to determine the type of financial advice best suited to your life stage and circumstances. Depending on the complexity of the advice needed and the type of financial products recommended, fees and commissions may vary.
Before you commit to paying for a financial plan, you should agree on the goals and areas of advice that will and will not be covered by the plan and discuss the associated fees.
Evaluating and implementing financial advice
After meeting with an adviser, you will receive a statement of advice. This will document the recommended strategy, outline any recommended products and list the fees and costs. Your adviser should discuss the risk and return of recommended products and any factors influencing the advice you receive. If you are unsure about anything, you should follow up with your adviser before proceeding.
Regular review of your financial situation
You should review your financial situation and financial advice at least once a year to assess the performance of your investments. This will allow you to check they are meeting your expectations and continue to be appropriate to your circumstances. Depending on the complexity of your investment portfolio and your life stage, it may be necessary to do this more frequently.
The Financial advice toolkit is available on ASIC's MoneySmart website.
Greg Medraft is Chairman of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission
The ADF Financial Advice Referral Program is set up to help you find a financial adviser who provides advice which is free from remuneration-based conflicts of interest. The financial advisers in the Program have agreed to provide advice on a genuine fees for service basis, which means that you can be more confident that you are getting advice that is in your best interests.
Find a financial adviser who will act in your best interests.

Jack Dorsey is known as one of the most productive entrepreneur in tech.
He runs two companies at the same time - Square and Twitter.
Mind blown - But how does he do it?
It turns out that he has mastered the art of productivity.
A common question we ask ourselves "How can I get MORE done in LESS time?"
This is especially relevant in your business journey where you have to handle a myriad of commitments.
- Your day job (if your business isn't financially viable yet).
- Your business or side projects (ventures you are aiming to grow into a full business).
- Wellbeing - Spending resources to get your spirituality, nutrition and exercise sorted
- Relationships - Friends, family, kids and wider community
As you can see, productivity is important to help us achieve more work so we can lead a more fulfilling life.
Next, let's break productivity into three components:
Source: A Life Of Productivity
1. Time: Are you allocating sufficient time for a designated task?
2. Energy: Do you have sufficient energy to complete those tasks?
3, Attention: Are you focusing on the right tasks that actually move the needle forward?
Let's start with the obvious - Time.
It's fair game - Everyone has 24 hours within a day.
While you can't negotiate for more time (other than living longer I suppose?), here is how you can make the most out of it).
Back to Jack Dorsey, the founder of Twitter and Square.
One of the key practices behind his productivity success boils down to "day theming" (http://www.fastcompany.com/3037208/how-to-be-a-success-at-everything/productivity-hack-of-the-week-give-your-day-a-theme-to-reg).
As what the name suggests, he allocates a specific theme to each day. Here's how its down in real life:
Source: Haiku Deck
Apart from splitting it by the day, you can apply this concept into big tasks and small task too.
Let's start with chunking small tasks:
Through the day, it is inevitable that you will get bombarded with small tasks. This includes checking email and social media "obligations" such as replying to tweets.
Sounds familiar? ;)
Adding to this are small petty tasks on your to-do lists, such making a dental appointment. The result is minute tasks constantly pulling you away from key tasks.
A solution to this?
Rather than getting reactive when a new task comes in, you chunk all small tasks together and allocate a fixed time slot to handle it.
Next, let's cover more complex tasks.
For instance, writing this blog post.
The full process comprises of multiple steps such as researching stories and statistics; packaging the research and writing original copy; editing, formatting, publishing and promoting the content.
It takes 6-10 hours and seems daunting to most people. But when you break it down, it becomes much more manageable.
In my case:
Source: Buffer
1. Research on case studies and statistics
2. Write content around the research done
3. Publish it after editing and formatting
Ah, doesn't it seem more do-able?
This allow me to save time from switching from one task to the next. For instance, jumping between researching on the internet and formatting the article.
"Fix your ideal schedule, then work backwards to make everything fit — ruthlessly culling obligations, turning people down, becoming hard to reach, and shedding marginally useful tasks along the way."
According to best selling author Cal Newport, he attributes his productivity success to the "Fixed-Scheduled" technique.
How can this apply to you?
Let's say your main goal for this year is writing a book. To achieve this, you decide to dedicate 2 hours a day to write in the early morning.
This 2 hour block now holds a sacred place in your calendar. Hence very rarely do you allow the schedule to be change.
This discipline results in ensuring that trivial but seeming urgent tasks do not interfere with important work.
Let's face it, we are all prone to procrastinating.
One of the biggest rationalisations we give ourselves is that we have plenty of time available.
The best counter? Install deadlines into your workflow.
Tim Ferriss, a productivity expert, shares about Parkinson's Law I.e. Work expands to fill the time available.
Hence if you allocate 8 hours to complete 2 hours worth of work, chance are that you will complete the task in 8 hours.
One technique to help put this to practice is called the Pomodoro Technique.
Source: Scrubly
It comprises of alternative time frames of work and relaxation. 25 minutes
of focused brain activity followed by a 5 minutes break before resuming another 25 minutes cycle of brain activity, repeated over and over.
Here's a video to explain it in-depth: https://youtu.be/CT70iCaG0Gs
If you like a timer to practise Pomodoro, I highly recommend "The Marinara Timer".
Another component of productivity is Energy.
Unlike Time, we tend to be less aware of our energy levels. Yet if you think about it, it makes sense.
Upon returning home after work, we might feel tired. Hence even if we have a few hours available in the evening, we might not get any work done during to the lack of energy.
So how can we manage energy better?
There is a lot of great resources available about sleeping already available on the internet.
Hence I will bring your attention to the latest few instead.
Being in the digital age, we tend to be hooked onto our technological device 24/7. The blue light emitted from these devices decreases melatonin production and disrupt sleep.
The solution?
I have found a computer app called F.lux. It's the blue light from your device, turning the display reddish.

Seems weird at first but you will get used to it.
This helps you fall asleep faster and attain a better quality of sleep.
You can access it here.
Brian Tracy has an expression called "Eat The Frog". But don't take it too literally (poor frogs!).
What he means is that you should tackle the most difficult of tasks first thing in the morning. Having done what might seem intimidating, it gives you the momentum to tackle the rest of the day.
Why does it work?
According toKelly McGonigal, author of The Willpower Instinct, your willpower is a finite resource. Hence as the day progress, your willpower starts to wane and you are more likely to procrastinate on the important but daunting tasks.
Here is how you can go about it:
1. Choose your frog: It is usually the task that you have the greatest resistance towards.
2. Write on a piece of paper so it becomes formalised
3. Do the work. Starting working on that task until you complete it. Only then are you allowed to work on your other tasks.
"Adequate nutrition can raise your productivity levels by 20 percent on average." ~ WHO

When making food decisions, do be mindful whether you are consuming complex or refined carbohydrates.
Refined carbs such as energy drinks and cakes might give you the energy spike, but it also results in an energy crash during the later part of the day.
That's bad for productivity.
Instead, do aim for complex carbs. They pack in more nutrients than simple carbs, because they are higher in fiber and digest more slowly. This also makes them more filling, which means they're a good option for weight control.
The result is that you are able to avoid sugar crash and maintain a constant energy level throughout the day.
One of the most subtle components of productivity is attention.
We strive to get MORE work done, but are we actually getting the RIGHT type of work done?
Eisenhower's strategy for taking action and organizing your tasks is simple. Using the decision matrix below, you will separate your actions based on four possibilities.
Source: James Clear
Urgent and important (tasks you will do immediately).
Important, but not urgent (tasks you will schedule to do later).
Urgent, but not important (tasks you will delegate to someone else).
Neither urgent nor important (tasks that you will eliminate).
Too often, we use productivity, time management, and optimization as an excuse to avoid the really difficult question: "Do I actually need to be doing this?"
On the flipside, Eisenhower Box provides a balanced perspective toward a fulfilling life. For instance, the incorporating of "important but non urgent" tasks into your day.
In politics, for example, U.S. President Barack Obama has dinner with his family when he's in the White House and works out for an hour every morning. "His logic was always, 'The rest of my time will be more productive if you give me my workout time,'"
There is plenty of benefits to meditation.
It has been scientifically proven to increase focus, reduce stress and anxiety and boost creativity.
Source: Collective Education
Isn't that what we want as entrepreneurs?
Here are the clinical studies that prove it:
Meditation calms you down, which helps you focus better. Research has shown that EEG activity actually decreases during meditation.
Studies have shown that people who meditate more are able to focus more, and with less sleep.
Want to get started? Do check out this meditation guide.
3. Go On Flight Mode
Yes, that's right.
If you are feeling unproductive, take a flight to somewhere.
By cutting off wifi, you are suddenly free from all communications such as email and social media.
This will allow you mind to settle in a distraction free environment. Coupled with the feeling of urgency due to the time constraint of the flight, and you have a recipe for kick-ass productivity.
Or if you can't afford to buy a plane ticket, simple turn your phone to flight mode.
Here is what Ryan Holiday, bestselling author says about the airplane technique.
"Email received is a function of email sent. Take yourself off the grid for a second—stop the bleeding—and then go through your inbox offline. You'll be amazing at how quickly you start banging them out, how many emails you'd saved for later you are now fine with deleting, how easy it is to get back to Inbox zero."
To Wrap It All Up…
There are plenty of productivity techniques out there.
Rather than getting overwhelmed, the best method is to test a strategy and see if it works for you as an individual.
Here is some great advice from Ramit Sethi.

Motherhood and being a business woman isn't any easy feat, but for Ayesha Curry, it's a challenge she was born ready to tackle. Today, the wife and mother of two has her YouTube channel Little Lights of Mine with over 435k subscribers, is getting ready to launch her first cookbook The Seasoned Life this fall as well as launch her own meal-kit company GATHER.
We caught up with Ayesha as we get ready to have her on panel this fall at Create & Cultivate Atlanta, and got to hear about how she balances motherhood, the importance of transparency in her brand, and what her strategy is when making important business decisions.
You've created a brand that puts family and wellness at the forefront - how do you make sure that yours stands out among other culinary and family brands?
I think for me personally when I started my journey in the culinary world, I wanted to be accessible. I think that is what's missing a lot these days in food. People love transparency and so I wanted to be honest, easy and approachable when it came to the way that I presented myself and the way that I cook. Nothing is perfect, and I want people to know that it's okay and that we're all in this together.
"Nothing is perfect, and I want people to know that it's okay and that we're all in this together."
Tweet this.
100 recipes is a LOT for a cookbook. We're sure you had a lot of inspiration to create The Seasoned Life - where did you find it?
I found inspiration through my family and just everyday life. Most of the recipes are things I've created over the years through trial and error, some are family recipes that have been passed down. I even have recipes in there that I recreated from my favorite restaurants. I simplified them for the home chef.
Fans know you as a supportive wife and devoted mother, but how do you assert your sense of self within and outside that role? How do you make sure that your brand stands alone?
I think for me it's been a matter of staying true to myself. I don't compromise and I've learned to say no... a lot. Again, it's the transparency. When I stay true to myself, I am automatically staying true to my brand. I only hope that people can see that.
"I don't compromise and I've learned to say no...a lot. It's all about transparency."
Tweet this.
What's the first dish you ever created?
The first dish I created was a sweet and savory mango shrimp dish on my 13th birthday! I had a cooking party and invited all of my friends and cousins over. It was a blast!
What is one of the toughest challenges being a culinary entrepreneur and being a busy mom and wife?
Balancing it all has been the toughest challenge for me. I seem to be in a constant state of mom guilt. It's hard. I am lucky that I have a supportive husband who encourages me and wants me to succeed. It keeps me going.
Your blog touches on food, wellness, and family. Are there any other topics that you think you might delve in later on the blog?
Food is definitely the focus. I love splicing in bits of family and wellness because it's the biggest part of my life and just makes sense. In a dream world I'd love to dive into more lifestyle and home decor. Unfortunately I am quite possibly the most disorganized person on the planet.
In two years, you have been able to grow Little Lights of Mine's YouTube channel to 435K. What has been your growth strategy from day one? How has it evolved?
My growth strategy has been quality over quantity. I never want to put out content just because "it's been a while". Everything I put out needs to make sense and be true to myself and my brand.
"I never want to put out content just because 'it's been a while.'"
Tweet this.
You share a lot about your life on your social channels, but do you feel there's a need for privacy within the media and the digital world? Are there things that you make sure to keep to yourself and your family?
I think the biggest thing for me and learning process has been knowing when to involve my girls and husband and when not to. People are so quick to take advantage and it's been difficult deciphering what makes sense and what doesn't. I'm getting better at it. For me, I feel like the media is quick to take small irrelevant matters and turn them into big false beasts. It's tough at times but it comes with the territory. We just make sure we don't bring the outside noise into our home. It keeps everyone happy and normal.
Aside from your book release this fall, what else is in the pipeline?
There's lots of things in the works that i'm super excited about. Aside from the book release, this summer, I'll be launching my very own meal-kit company, GATHER. GATHER will be delivering fresh ingredients based around my favorite recipes right at your doorstep. I'm also currently working on rebranding my olive oils and aprons. I also recently partnered with ZÜPA NOMA which is soup in bottle - soup reimagined.
So exciting to hear that you'll be launching GATHER soon! What are some of the things that you have learned in building a subscription business from the bottom up?
It's been such a fun process. The main thing I'm trying to infuse is real world solutions. I set out to create a meal kit that I would use myself to make putting a delicious, nourishing meal on the table easier and less stressful. I'm learning that my ability to customize that experience is what's going to really set it above and beyond what's being offered by other meal kit companies. That's where I'm really focusing my efforts. I can't wait to share it with everyone.
What is your funniest parenting story to date?
My husband and I went to our daughters parent teacher conference and one feedback was that she needed to work a little bit on her listening skills (like any 3/4 year old). When we got in the car, we explained to her what we had learned and what she needed to do. She threw her hands on her head and said "I just can't handle this anymore." We had no words. We definitely have a drama queen on our hands.
What's one thing completely unrelated to what you do now that you want to do or learn?
I would LOVE to learn how to ride English Style and compete. It's always been a dream of mine.
What is your process when making crucial business decisions, whether it involves your career or your family?
I always do a pros and cons checklist. I look at it from a time and financial standpoint, and if I'm passionate about the opportunity. It's really hard to turn down opportunities, but again, quality over quantity. If I don't feel moved and passionate about the project, I pass. I'm a firm believer in intuition and gut instinct. It has to feel right.

Allergan Plc said it and Adamas Pharmaceuticals Inc settled a patent infringement lawsuit with Amneal Pharmaceuticals over their Alzheimer's drug.
Allergan said its Forest Labs unit and Adamas had filed a lawsuit against privately owned Amneal, which was seeking regulatory approval for generic versions of Namzaric.
The drug, which has been licensed to Forest by Adamas, had U.S. sales of $12.8 million for the quarter ended June 30.
Under the settlement terms, Forest and Adamas will grant Amneal a license to market generic versions of Namzaric from January 1, 2025.
Other terms of the settlement were not disclosed.
Allergan and Adamas have also sued Amerigen Pharmaceuticals, which seeks to market generic versions of the drug.

Transforming Values with ConfigObj
The possibility of ConfigObj being used with Turbogears (mentioned below) raises an interesting point about the transforming of values. I've seen a couple of use cases where validation could have been used to good effect, but wasn't because validation looks complicated.
Like many things, it's very simple once you've got your head round the system. A concrete example probably illustrates it much better than an explanation. The example given in the Turbogears Thread is URL escaping values.
Validation allows you to check that a config file meets a certain specification - e.g. checking that values are present, providing default values if you want, and checking that values make sense, e.g. can be converted to an integer etc.
Validation also transforms values, into integers, floats, booleans etc. (And can check that a value is within boundaries.)
You can easily extend validation to use any transformation function you want. You then specify in the configspec which check (function) to use for each value. You don't need to specify a check for every value, just the ones you want checked.
I'll give you a concrete example :
# config file [section] key1 = True key2 = 3 key3 = 3.0 key4 = 'value which needs to be url escaped %@' key5 = unchecked # configspec [section] key1 = boolean key2 = integer key3 = float key4 = url_escape key6 = integer(default=3)
Note a few things. key5 does not have an entry in the configspec. Also, the standard validator doesn't have a check called 'url_escape'. key6 in the configspec supplies a default value if it isn't present in the config file.
Using the configspec to validate the config file :
from urllib import quote_plus
from configobj import ConfigObj
def url_escape(value):
return quote_plus(value)
except: # can this raise an error ?
raise VdtValueError
functions = {'url_escape': url_escape}
vdt = Validator(functions)
cfg = ConfigObj(filename, configspec=cfgspec_filename)
for key, value in cfg['section'].items():
print key, ':', value
This outputs :
key1 : True key2 : 3 key3 : 3.0 key4 : value+which+needs+to+be+url+escaped+%25%40 key5 : unchecked key6 : 3
The cfg.validate call returns either True (validation succeeded) or a dictionary of failed values and error messages. (See the documentation for the format of this.) You can use the flatten_errors function to turn this into a list of errors.
This allows you to do any transformation of values that you want, and keeps the transformation out of the config file itself.
My suggestion to turbogears, was that they could allow the application developer to supply a validator and configspec.

Configuring Turbogears
Turbogears is arguably the hottest [1] Python project there is right now.
Apparently they're having problems with their current configuration system and Python 2.3. They are/were using pseudo-python files for configuration. Yesterday I discovered this message, from Kevin Dangoor, on the Turbogears Mailing List :
So, taking into account the various bits of input and the fact thatthere would appear to be a problem with the new style configs andPython 2.3, I'm going to change our config system over to usingConfigObj.
I don't think it's set in stone yet, but if Turbogears switch to using ConfigObj that will be fantastic news.
In the same thread, Mike Orr responds with the following comments on ConfigObj :
It looks pretty complete. I like the validator, conversion to intsand lists, triple-quoted strings, and keeping the keys/values inorder. I suppose I should like the multi-level sections. Thecomma-separated list feature is cool, and I guess it has enoughsafeguards to distinguish lists from strings.
I'm not sure what he means by should like, but it's nice to see ConfigObj's features appreciated.

urllib2 Article in French
There is now a translation of urllib2 - the Missing Manual in French.
The translation is located at :
urllib2 - Le Manuel manquant
This is a tutorial on using the Python urllib2 module and handling errors.
The article was translated by Gerard Labadie and the HTML markup done by Thomas Labadie (11 years old).
He will shortly start work on the Basic Authentication and cookielib articles.

ConfigObj Changes
The last three support enquiries I've had about ConfigObj have all been about empty values. These are keys with no value, like :
These are (I think) part of the normal ini file spec, but aren't currently valid syntax for ConfigObj. They were supported in a later version of ConfigObj 3, but since ConfigObj 4 would never produce an empty value I didn't support them.
What I didn't envisage is that people are using ConfigObj to parse ini files that are being produced elsewhere. These users don't necessarily have control over the code that produces these files.
An update to ConfigObj will follow shortly. Empty values will be legal syntax (returning the empty string ''). There will be a corresponding option/attribute, which defaults to False and will probably be called write_empty_values. This will allow ConfigObj to write out empty strings as empty values.
The last update added unicode support. This makes the following methods obsolete :
- encode
- decode
- rename
These will be deprecated in the next release.

Battle with Guestbook Spam - Round Three
In recent months my guestbook has been subject to a vicious deluge of the worst kind of spam. I haven't yet restored a cleaned up backup, so you can currently still see the damage in all its unholy glory.
These have been coming in at a rate of up to two or three hundred posts a day.
I finally got round to doing something about it over the weekend.
I've just implemented a set of changes that prevent multiple posts from the same IP and multiple posts from the same GET. Every form (from which submissions are made) contains an obfuscated magic number that must be valid for a POST to be accepted. This means that the spammer must do a new GET for every POST. I thought this would cut off all automated submissions.
It has dramatically reduced the rate of spam, which is now down to about ten or fifteen new posts a day. This means the assholes are manually posting spam to my guestbook.
This won't do them any good, because all links use rel="nofollow", but still they persist.
Unfortunately, Akismet hasn't helped me much. That could change if I built in a proper administration interface to teach akismet which posts are spam.
Building a web interface to edit/reject posts is on my list, but it's a fair bit of work. Because the spam is manually posted, a Captcha probably wouldn't help. It would also make the guestbook dependent on something like PIL which would make it unusable on cheap hosting accounts.
The best short term fix I can think of is to require posters to supply a valid email address and verify each post [1]. This is a bit much just for a guestbook, but I don't see an alternative.
|This makes it more work for the spammers and I can block email addresses, making it a lot more work per post.

Python Source Code Scan
To my surprise I discovered that not everything the US government is investing in, as part of its Homeland Security project, is a waste of money.
A firm called Coverity, along with the university of Stanford, has done source code analysis of a whole heap of popular open source projects. They've used a new tool which does (presumably) some kind of static source code analysis. It follows every possible path through the code to uncover bugs.
Here is an article on the project, and here are a summary of the results.
Python (with fancy new website - good stuff Tim Parkin and team) comes out quite well. It has less bugs uncovered than both PHP and Perl. However there are about half the lines of code in Python than Perl, so it actually has more bugs per lines of code than Perl (but less than PHP). The lower code count is presumably because a lot of Python is written in Python rather than C.
The results for Python look like :
|Lines of Code:
|Bugs per kLOC:
Interesting and useful stuff. In case any of the defects discovered have security implications, the actual defect reports are restricted to a team appointed by the core projects. (Largely a self appointed team from Python-dev in our case.)

Movable Python Review
It looks like the review of Movable Python has appeared in the latest issue of the German Computer magazine c't.
I've found two references to it online (c't is a real magazine, although as to be expected it has a fairly comprehensive website) :
I can't tell you what the review says (although I have a German version knocking around somewhere), but the chap doing the review was very nice.

Move Out of the Way Skype
I've also been playing with configuring a VoIP connection.
The default VoIP is Skype which several of my friends use. I already have google talk for straightforward PC to PC conversations, but it would be nice to have a cheap voice to telephone gateway. This could save me paying for a landline when we move into our own place [1].
A friend has recommended VOIPCheap which he has been using for several months. He also has a phone that plugs straight into his router and works when his PC is off [2].
Incredibly VOIPCheap offer free calls to landlines in the UK, Europe and the US. They have also given me a free landline number. Their other call charges are pretty reasonable. The ones I've checked are cheaper than Skype and comparable with BT.
The catch ? Well you have to give them ten pounds worth of credit (£11.60 including VAT), which expires after four months if you don't use it.
Effectively this means they have a £2.50 a month subscription charge for unlimited free calls to landlines. Nice !
|This will happen in the next couple of months or so.
|Presumably this is a SIP device ?

Windows Nightmare
Some of my friends will be pleased to hear this, I'm having a windows nightmare.
Specifically I'm having a bluetooth nightmare.
I'm not someone who is on a mission to denounce windows at every possible opportunity. However sharp the business practises of a certain Mr. William Gates, I've never had particular difficulties with windows. This is probably because I've never had to administrate windoze systems, and have a couple of friends on hand to do the interesting things like configure networking. I'm not a windows expert and have no intention of ever becoming one.
On the other hand, the only two times I've attempted to install Linux manually [1] it has been a disaster and both times I gave up in frustration. The first time was a couple of years ago on some antiquated hardware. I'm sure things have changed in the meantime.
I now have a nice Nokia 3230. In order to install Python for S60, as well as syncing the calender etc, I bought a Belkin Bluetooth USB Adapter.
I've never had a successful experience of bluetooth, and I know several people with similar testimonies. Belkin devices have a good reputation though, so I thought I'd give it another try. I optimistically installed the driver and plugged it in.
All windows hell broke loose.
My computer used to be connected to a small LAN. Now it has a direct connection to the internet via a router.
Installing the bluetooth driver seemed to also activate a bluetooth network (which windows complained wasn't working because a cable was unplugged !). Windows decided I ought to be connected to the old LAN, my internet connection dropped out and the PC stared to attempt to connect via my modem (which isn't plugged in).
Intermittently I can see my phone via the bluetooth connection, but as soon as I try to connect to it Windows claims it can't find a local bluetooth device.
Much head scratching later, a delve into the bluetooth driver CD which has some buried instructions about updating the driver for SP 2, and I finally get my internet connection back. I have to run the network wizard, so my PC now behaves differently on startup. This is possibly useful as I may now be able to get the VMWare networking operating, this will help me build Movable Python without having to swap files via my USB card.
Despite this, bluetooth is still not working. I can much more reliably find my phone (and PDA incidentally) when I search for devices. As soon as I start to connect to them though, the bluetooth icon flashes red and I get the message "your local bluetooth device has stopped". So is this a hardware problem, or just another step deeper into the bluetooth/windows mire ?
Anyway, I'll try the dongle on another machine and see what happens.
|I've recently installed it remotely on a couple of virtual servers without problem. These were largely automated processes.

Most of the universe is invisible, not because we don't have a way to get there or see that far. Most of the universe is invisible because it is composed primarily of invisible "dark matter." According to CERN, dark matter outweighs visible matter by roughly six to one! What we see using normal methods of observation interacts with electromagnetic forces, meaning it absorbs, reflects, or produces light. Dark matter, though, does not interact with electromagnetic forces. How, then, do we know that dark matter exists and that most of the universe is made of it? CERN says its existence is inferred from the observation of gravitational forces.
(For more on dark matter see this interesting article from CERN.)
It's easy to see what you can see. Right now, directly in front of my eyes, I see my computer screen. Peripherally, I see my hands on the keyboard, a cup of coffee, my phone, and tables and chairs in the restaurant where I sit. We can also see what we don't see. Weather is a good example. I can't see cold temperatures, but I see people wearing coats and hats. I can't see wind, but I do see leaves swirling around on the ground. Other examples of seeing what can't be seen include emotions (love, anger, frustration, sadness, and more), hunger, someone's financial condition, and attitudes.
The visible: Desks. Computers. Inventory. Buildings. Vehicles.
The invisible: Emotions. Relationships. Attitudes. Potential.
As a leader, which is more important to you? The visible or the invisible?
I know which is easier to deal with. I know there are days when I think, "You know, I really wish I could just focus on repairing widgets right now and not deal with Tom's attitude."
Which, though, is more relevant to the long-term health and success of your organization? The visible or the invisible?
It's the invisible, of course:
- Things that aren't said. The inner dialogue.
- How people feel about a decision and their resulting commitment or lack of commitment.
- The chemistry between you and your team members.
- The chemistry among your team members.
- Emotional maturity.
- People's leadership capacity.
Think back on your past few days at work. Pick a significant situation, conversation, or event. It could be positive or negative. It might have been one of your successes or a failure. It doesn't matter. Pick one.
Catalogue what was directly and objectively observable in that situation. Time and date. People and things involved. Sequence of events. Money expended or acquired. Anything tangible and objective.
Now catalogue everything that was only indirectly observable or intangible. Emotions. Attitudes. Hopes. Values. Beliefs. Assumptions.
Which of those two lists was more impactful on what happened? The visible or the invisible?
Is it the visible or the invisible that is more strategic in your leadership responsibility to build and expand the leadership capacity of your team and organization?
Just like dark matter, the invisible is also six times (or whatever) more weighty than the visible. As a leader you must carefully consider the visible, because it really does matter. Do not, though, lose sight of the invisible.
Learning to observe the invisible may be one of the most important skills of leadership.

Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum and a having a issue installing Centos5 on a machine I am putting together for a friend of mine.
The machine is a RAID machine that will eventually have a total of 8x1TB drives in it. My friend is a photographer and needs his space ability to grow. The machine will be acting as a server (NAS i guess they call it these days) so wont have a monitor, keyboard or mouse connected.
This is where I seem to be having an issue the graphic card that is in this machine is an ASUS 9400GT graphics card in it the installation goes fine the machine boots up, I can create shares and access them on the network. The problem starts when I boot this machine up without a monitor. I cant see what happens at this point of course but from what I can tell on the network everything seems to load up kind of.
I can see the share on the network, I can ping the machine and get a reply yet when I try to access the share it gives permission error and wont open it. If I try to vnc to the server againg I get permissions error, if I try and plug a vga monitor in at this point I get no video either.
I have a CENTOS 5 machine running as a server at home for my wife to store her pictures, mp3 and movies on and it is working fine if I boot with or without a monitor I am able to plug a monitor in at anytime and its works.
Here is my assumption and if anyone knows different please help!!!!
Assumption : The only thing I can figure is that the card has 2 outputs vga and dvi and if nothing is connected to either centos looses the plot.
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to force centos to use just one output method hoping of coures this is the problem.
Thanks in advance

Book Review: The Ripple Effect by JA Saare (A kajillion/5 stars)
No one should go into this book without having read the first two. The world Ms. Saare has built is so compact, so tight, that every action from each work has an ostensible reaction, and without that knowledge head-on, there is no way to appreciate The Ripple Effect.
Having said that…
Wow. Wowie wow wow. I'm going to do my best to keep this succinct as this is one book you definitely don't want spoiled.
Rhiannon Murphy has had a lot on her plate since she time-traveled to a dystopian future and saw what would become of the world if everything remained on its current course. Yet the hell that awaits her when she returns almost makes the nightmare of the future look like sunshine and rainbows. Disco, the man she loves, violated her in a way that seems unforgivable, and that's not the least of her problems.
To say The Ripple Effect is about consequences is really underselling it. There are so many underlying themes, not the least of which is the power of forgiveness, the awesomeness of love, and realizing strength comes from many places.
Rhiannon isn't an easy character to love. She's tough and gritty, and sometimes so damn stubborn you want to punch her in the mouth. Without knowing everything that she went through and the things she's had to learn—the things to which she's had to adapt—it's easy to walk away feeling she's been stupid and selfish. I won't be surprised if this is the reaction she garners at first. To those readers, I ask you simply to take another look. Rhiannon has never been a "people person," and it took her a long time to share as much of herself as she did with Disco. She traveled to the future to sever her lover's debt, and saw a world she wants very much to avoid. In desperation to return to her home, she made some deals on the fly and did some things she regrets. And upon returning, the homecoming she wanted isn't the homecoming she gets.
What makes this series so good, and Ms. Saare such a great writer, is the characters' actions and motivations. So often in fiction we see characters doing things they should, not things they would as people with their own desires and weaknesses. No one in this story escapes unscathed, and likewise, no one in this story is blameless for what happens to them. Instead of a black and white canvass with the good guys and bad guys clearly established, we have flawed people doing their best to make it through their flawed world. They don't always get it right, but they always try. Rhiannon's actions might be irritating as hell, but don't we all know someone who acts against their own best interest without realizing it? Don't we all know someone who makes a decision no one agrees with? Haven't we been that person before? This is the strength of the writing, and why the series has resonated so much with so many readers.
Having said that, be prepared to squirm, and not for the fun reasons. Ms. Saare doesn't flinch when she inserts you deep into the realm of demon society. There are parts that are painfully gruesome to the point of unbearable. Yet the payout is more than worth it. Trust Ms. Saare to get you to the end, for all the pain and heartache, you'll find such poetry in the novel's final pages. Ultimately, this book is about realizing how liberating acceptance and forgiveness can be, especially when preparing for the fight ahead.
Trust me, readers, you won't regret it.
The Ripple Effect will be available in e-book and trade paperback on Tuesday, July 31. In the meantime...
