Richard Brussow, hijacking expert and founder of the National Hijack Prevention Academy has published Hijack Prevention Guidelines on the Arrive Alive website.
Speaking to 702's Sam Cowen, Brussow pointed out that theives are resorting to the element of susprise that goes with hijacking in order to circumvent the advanced security sytems in modern cars.
It has become increasingly difficult to steal motor vehicles, with all the anti-theft devices, such as immobilisers, gear-locks, etc. These steps have resulted in a dramatic increase in vehicle hijackings.— Richard Brussow
More sobering is the analysis showing the preferred days of the week for hijackings... They occur every day of the week, reaching a high on Fridays, due to motorists being more relaxed and traffic increasing earlier on a Friday. Weekends show a lower hijacking rate due to syndicates checking their stock and placing orders on Mondays as well as the fact that there are fewer vehicles on the road. Brussow says this explains why Tuesdays and Wednesdays show more hijackings.
Graph showing days of the week and time of day in which hijackings occurred.
According to his website, the hijacked vehicles that are not sold to buyers in South Africa, will be smuggled out of the country. These vehicles will be sold in our neighbouring countries or trade-exchanged for drugs.
Brussow re-emphasised tips that many of us have heard before: That if you are approached by a stranger while in your vehicle, drive off if possible or use your hooter to attract attention... And to lock your doors, close your windows and do not have bags or briefcases visible in the vehicle - that you should rather use the boot for this.
He went into more detail on the situations where most hijacks are occurring:
3 Tips to help you avoid a hijack situation:
Approaching and entering your driveway:
- 2km from your house strategy. Be extra alert. Switch off the car radio and concentrate on your surroundings. If you have noticed any vehicle behind you, use the techniques you have learned during the hijack prevention & survival course to determine whether you are being followed.
- Remember to stop your vehicle just on the inside of the gate and select reverse whilst waiting for the gate to close. This creates confusion and may buy you a few seconds for the gate to close completely behind you.
- Check your driveway and street before you leave or enter your premises.
- Make sure your driveway is well lit and clear from shrubbery where perpetrators can hide.
- Be aware of unknown pedestrians close to your residential address – do not turn into your driveway – pass and go back later.
- Liaise with your neighbours – know them.
- Be aware of vehicles parked close to your address with occupants inside. It might be perpetrators observing the area.
- Be alert if your animals do not greet you at the gate as usual. It might be that the perpetrators over-powered them.
- Phone your home and ask for someone to make sure your driveway is safe and to open and close the gate for you.
- When returning home after dark, ensure that an outside light is on, or have someone meet you at the gate. Check with your armed response company if they are rendering rendezvous services.
- If at any time you have to open the gate yourself, make sure nobody suspicious around and the road is clear. Stop right in front of your gate. Do not switch off the vehicle, leave the key in the ignition, get out and close the door (not creating temptation). Then open the gate. Drive in and close the gate immediately behind you.
- If you have small children in the vehicle, take the key with you (this is the only exception). You need the key as a "negotiating tool". The perpetrators want your vehicle and you want your children.
- If your children are older, it is advised that they exit the vehicle with you when opening the gate so that you are all separated from the vehicle should an attack occur.
Parking your vehicle:
- Check rear-view mirror to ensure you are not being followed.
- When exiting your vehicle, be cautious and aware of surrounding obstructions and shrubbery that may be concealing a hijacker.
- Never sit in your parked vehicle without being conscious of your surroundings. Sleeping in a stationary vehicle is particularly dangerous.
- When approaching your driveway, be on the lookout for suspicious vehicles / persons. This is very important as the majority of hijackers approach their victims in home driveways.
Whilst entering your vehicle and while driving, the following should be considered:
- Have your key ready, but not visible.
- Inspect the outside and inside of the vehicle before unlocking. Check underneath your vehicle for items placed under the wheels. Also make sure nobody is hiding on the passenger side before you enter your vehicle. (As explained during the hijack prevention & survival course)
- Know your destination and directions to it; and be alert should you get lost.
- Always drive with your windows closed and doors locked.
- Make a mental note of any Police Stations in the vicinity.
- When stopping behind another vehicle, leave half a vehicle length in front of your vehicle to make an emergency escape if necessary.
- When dropping off a passenger, make sure they are safely in their own vehicle before departing.
- Avoid driving through high crime or unfamiliar areas.
- Avoid driving late at night / early hours of the morning when the roads are quiet.
- Drive in the center lane away from pedestrians where possible.
- If possible, never drive alone.
- NEVER, EVER pick up hitchhikers or strangers. (VERY IMPORTANT)
- Never follow routine routes when driving; change on a regular basis.
With regards to getting help after the event of a hijacking - Brussow's advice is that cell phones should be carried on the body at all times. This is because perpetrators will not allow you to remove your cell phone and valuables from the vehicle during an attack.

Latest News
Home for Christmas! - Jamaican moms return for the holidays
Screams of excitement and tears of joy permeated the atmosphere at the Norman Manley International Airport yesterday as several Jamaican mothers, who are living and working abroad, arrived home to spend the Christmas holiday with their children.
Some admitted that Christmas last year was a 'living hell' without their children, the Jamaican sunshine and the general 'Christmas Jamaican style'.
"Oh my God! Look at my baby," Suzette Brown said, holding her youngest of three daughters who were all at the airport to meet her.
Brown said that her youngest, nine years old, was only four years and nine months old when she gave up her job as a preschool teacher to seek a better life in New York.
"Things were lean then. I had to go. Not just for me, but more for them," Brown told THE STAR.
And so she gave up her job, left her children with her mother and migrated to become a nurse's aid to be in a better position to financially support her children.
Her 14-year-old daughter, bubbling with excitement, couldn't wait to embrace her mother, tugging on her little sister's arm asking for her turn.
She said: "Mek mi wait cause mi want five years worth a hug."
The oldest of the three girls, 18, was more modest, but was smiling winsomely as her sisters swarmed her mother.
Brown said that last Christmas was a hell without her daughters.
"Lord, I don't even want to talk about it. It was a living hell," Brown said as she joyously pulled her luggage to the waiting car to take her to her home.
Another mother, Juliet Wellington, lifted her 12-year-old daughter off the ground as she made her way out of the arrival area.
She remembered Christmas 2011 when she stayed in Trinidad and Tobago where she works and had to be away from her children.
"I promised myself that I am not going to do it again," Wellington said. "I cried the whole time."

The University of Mary Washington softball team swept a Saturday Capital Athletic Conference doubleheader from Penn State Harrisburg, winning the opener, 8-0 in five innings, and taking the second game with a walkoff in the seventh, 2-1. The Eagles improve to 18-12 overall, and 3-1 in CAC play.
In the opener, the Eagles scored a run in the first, as Caroline Callahn reached on an error and scored on an error on a ball hit by Hannah Hautz. UMW scored in the second, as Hannah Bruns plated Jessica Huber on an RBI single.
The Eagles broke the game open with four runs in the third. Huber plated Malia Rogers with a single, and Mikie Williams followed with a three run home run. The Eagles added two in the fourth on a two-run double from Rogers, and the Eagles got three outs defensively to end game one in five innings.
Williams led UMW in the opener with a single and homer, with three RBI. Kara Deppe gained the win in relief with four shutout innings with seven strikeouts and no walks while allowing three hits.
The Eagles scored once in the first of game two, as Hannah Hautz walked and scored on a Huber single. The Knights answered with a run in the fifth on an unearned run.
UMW prevailed in the bottom of the seventh, as Williams led off getting hit by a pitch, Danielle Newman singled, and Kristen Lundquist singled to load the bases. Hautz capped the game with an RBI single to end the game in dramatic fashion.
Newman had two hits to lead the Eagles. Deppe gained the win in relief, walking one and striking out one in two innings of relief.
The Eagles will host York College of Pa on Sunday for another CAC doubleheader starting at noon.

Catherine Ryan Hyde is a well-traveled novelist and short story writer. Her novel Pay it Forward was adapted into a movie and at least one future film based on another book she penned is in the works. Though Catherine has had both experience and success with traditional publishers, she has also, as of late, begun to experiment with online publishing and has made herself quite accessible to fans and readers through her personal website.
Below, Catherine shares early actions that contributed to her success, tactics and support networks that helped her overcome rejections and challenges as a fledgling author, how she approached a film adaptation of her published work, and how she has transitioned to the world of online publishing.
Did you do anything early in your career as an author that you think has significantly contributed to your long-term success?
Well… I got something adapted for film. But I think you'd file that under "Things That Happened To Me," rather than "Things I Did." A little bit like being struck by lightning.
But I also wrote short fiction, and marketed it myself to literary and small circulation magazines. I'm not sure it's accurate to say those early efforts are still helping me to this day, but it definitely helped me interest agents and secure my first book-length publication.
Another thing I'm glad I did early on: I wrote a lot, approximately a book a year, even though I wasn't able to sell any of them at the time. Later, after the sudden success of Pay It Forward, I was able to pull some of those projects out of the drawer and get them published, which was hugely helpful. That's the career moment when many authors freeze or crumble under the pressure. Suddenly they have just one year to produce another book, with their heads full of voices arguing about what people liked about their debut, and what readers expect next. Instead I was able to travel and speak for three years, putting my shoulder behind the Pay It Forward Foundation, without the pressure of needing to produce the next book immediately.
What enabled you to endeavor through all your early rejections, and what advice would you give to other freshly-rejected fledgling authors?
In a word, mentorship. I belonged to the Cambria Writers Workshop, a group filled with many professional authors who were much further down the publication path. They said things like, "All writers get rejected." They told me I was good enough, and it was right around the corner for me. I received 122 short story rejections before receiving three acceptances very close together. I doubt I would have kept going without the mentorship.
This is definitely not meant as an ad, but my friend Anne R. Allen—a well-known publishing industry blogger—and I wrote a book called How to be a Writer in the E-Age, And Keep Your E-Sanity. About five of my chapters are on nothing but that: how to handle rejection and put it in perspective.
Short version: Rejection means nothing. It doesn't mean the work is bad, it doesn't mean the work won't get published. It doesn't necessarily mean you need to change the work. Writers get rejected, period. So just make up your mind that it will happen to you, and you won't let it stop you.
Given your experience having Pay it Forward adapted into a movie, what advice would you give to another author who is given the opportunity to have movie adaptation of his or her book made?
I would say, take a deep breath and let go. Their movie will be different from your book. That's hard. But you know what's even harder? When Hollywood doesn't make a movie of your book. So try to resist the temptation to complain, because, let's face it, this is one of the most high-end problems on the planet.
If your friends ask you how it feels to have them change your book, tell them no one changed your book. Open your book and prove to them that's it's unchanged. They're not changing your book, they're making their movie. Your book and their movie are two very different entities, in both a business and creative sense.
A quote from my friend Jackie Mitchard, whose Deep End of the Ocean was adapted: "Where I come from you can either take the money or you can moan about the process, but not both." I suggest the former.
What are the biggest differences between ebook income and published book income?
I think I need to rephrase your question slightly. Because ebooks are published books. Some are self-published, but many are traditionally published by the big New York houses. So I think what you mean to ask is: What is the difference between ebook income and physical (hardcover or paperback) book income?
Ebook percentages are higher. For those authors who bring their ebooks out through traditional publishers, many argue they are not "higher enough." For the independently published author, they are significantly higher, as high as 70%, whereas paper book royalty rates are more like 6% to 15%.
Also, my indie books pay monthly, whereas my traditionally published books only pay royalties twice a year.
Are there any specific actions or factors that you attribute to your success as an ebook publisher?
I think I was lucky, and came out with my first couple of indie books at just the right time. A few traditionally-published authors were doing the same, but not as many. Most of the free or affordable ebooks were not by well-known authors. It's just a theory, but when we put my novel When I Found You on a 5-day free promotion in March of 2012, it went straight to number 1 in Kindle Free, and 81,000 copies were downloaded in five days.
I think my "name" as an author, which hadn't been helping me much with publishers, helped a lot on the Kindle Free charts. After the promotion, it "bounced" to #12 in Kindle Paid, and Amazon Publishing noticed. And that's when I became an Amazon publishing author, in addition to being a traditionally and independently published author (these days that's called a hybrid author). There was luck involved, so I can't tell someone else exactly how to replicate it, but I will say that I was open to a lot of new publishing models while many authors clung to the old ways in fear, and I recommend that flexibility. The publishing world is changing, but change can be good.
Has your activity as a blogger and accessibility online contributed to your success in any concrete ways, or are you just very active and open online because you enjoy interacting with your fans and readers?
I'm sure it helps, but I have no way to quantify how much it helps. It's not something you can directly track. The key seems to be forming relationships, not using social media as a big free ad. And I've made more friends online than I could ever have imagined. And I mean genuine friends, many (most) of whom I've never met in person, but who add untold value to my life. So if you proved to me tomorrow that it made no difference at all to my sales, it would change nothing, because the people I relate to online are my friends, and my life wouldn't be the same without them.
I really can't imagine what it would be like to be an author who doesn't interact with her readers. I hope I never find out.

Koji Returns To Hill, Sox Win 4-2 [VIDEO]
Allen Webster had a command performance Friday night in Kansas City. A 4-2 win over the Royals and Webster gave up just two runs in six innings. But perhaps most importantly, Webster walked just one batter and threw only 83 pitches in those six innings.
Four relievers combined to throw three shutout innings, including Koji Uehara who returned to the mound for the first time since September 4th and threw a 1-2-3 8th inning. Edwin Mujica got the save.
On offense, Mookie Betts with another two hit night and a RBI.

Wolverhampton, UK rockers Dearist are debuting a music video for their latest single "Fool's Heart" off their upcoming sophomore full-length, 'Sonder,' out April 27 on Spartan Records.
Check out the video on New Noise: https://newnoisemagazine.com/
Front man Adam Binder says, "At the time of coming to write lyrics for the song, a family member of mine was pretty ill and it was on my mind a lot, so the lyrics came out about that. The words "My fool's heart's fading" is about losing that innocence, that nothing bad can happen to you and your loved one and realising it can happen at any moment."
Pre-order 'Sonder' at: http://spr.tn/sonder.
All pre-orders include an instant download of the songs "Drowning" and "Fool's Heart" as well as the band's newly remastered debut album "This House Has No Windows."
Dearist has announced a short run of UK co-headline dates with Leeds' The Lock & Keys, which run April 27-29. See dates below.
4/27 – Leeds, UK – Temple of Boom (The Meatlocker)
About Dearist:
The UK has always been a breeding ground for rock bands with unique sounds and massive hooks. Enter Wolverhampton's Dearist.
Dearist started life as a solo studio project in (lead vocals / guitars) Adam Binder's basement fueled by a creative need to put together an album of songs he wanted to hear. Hundreds of hours of writing and recording would lead to Adam putting together the current 5 piece line up and the 2015 debut album This House Has No Windows. The album gained the band some notable fans in Jeremy Bolm (Touche Amore) and Geoff Rickley (Thursday).
The band would go on to spend 2016 travelling the length and breadth of the British Isles playing to anyone that would give their unique blend of emo, grunge, and alternative rock the time of day. Regular touring saw the band cultivate a healthy fan base across the UK and their 3 guitar onslaught quickly gained themselves a reputation for being the loudest band on the scene.
"Coming from Wolverhampton is both a blessing and a curse" says drummer Jimmy Taylor, "Wolverhampton was once voted the 5th worst city to live in the world. On one hand it sucks that we live in this dying city where nothing ever happens and where there is no music scene. However on the other hand, because there is nothing going on in our local area, it has always forced us to go and look for music from every corner of the globe and from different eras. Those records then find their way into our songwriting. You'll find nods to 90's alternative like Oasis and Stereophonics, you'll hear influence from 2000's emo like Bayside and Taking Back Sunday, but then we're trying to mash that up with something more modern. Something you maybe haven't heard before."
Alongside the live shows, Dearist spent 2016 penning ideas for album number two and in January 2017 Dearist hit the studio to record the drums for 12 songs that would make up their sophomore release. The boys then took those drum tracks back to Adam's home studio and spend the next 12 months teasing them and working them into the album that has become to be known as Sonder.
"The idea for the album title Sonder came really late in the process" says Adam, "I realized I was writing a lot of the lyrical content from other peoples perspectives. I had lyrics based on a friend that took his own life. I was singing about what it would feel like to be in a car accident, lying there waiting for the ambulance. I had a song about how my Dad must have felt when he suddenly got taken really ill. I came across this article about new words that came about in 2017 and the word 'Sonder' was in there. Basically it is the realization that everyone else is living a life as complex as your own, full of joys and sadness. It really encompassed the overall feel of the album."
"I had a really clear vision of how I wanted this album to feel and sound" says guitarist Lee Jarratt. "I love those albums, where you put them on and its non stop bangers. Albums like Take This To Your Grave by Fall Out Boy, Jimmy Eat World's Bleed American, Bring Me the Horizon's That's The Spirit and the Taylor Swift 1989 album. I wanted to create an album like that, where it just didn't let up, full of choruses and hooks."
Dearist is a true DIY beast. Not only does singer Adam and drummer Jimmy take on the recording side of the band, but guitarist Lee shoots and edits all the band's music videos. Now armed with a strong sophomore release, a brand new label, and a thrust to tour, 2018 is looking to be a great year for Dearist.
SONDER – "the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own."

This semester, the Geneseo University Store is closed for major renovations as part of an ongoing effort to provide students with more dining options on campus.
GUS will reopen early in spring 2012 as Fusion Market, a market-style dining facility featuring flavors from around the globe.
Mark Scott, the executive director of Campus Auxiliary Services, explained that his goal is to create a hub of life and activity in the center of campus through renovating the dining venues. The transformation of Books and Bytes in the library and the arrival of Starbucks on campus were the first two steps in this process.
"As our third installment, we're going to do GUS and the Corner Pocket in the Union," Scott said. "We really just want this to be an exciting place … we want to find ways to draw in people who don't regularly eat on campus. The main objective of the new Fusion Market is to present a grab-and-go dining option for students, faculty and visitors."
According to CAS Executive Chef Jonna Anne, there will be different stations around the market offering salads, flatbread sandwiches and kebabs, along with many other internationally-inspired options. In addition to Mediterranean flavors, Fusion Market promises Asian and Southeast Asian dishes, such as stir-fries.
"We're trying to make [Fusion Market] portable by having it be a sort of market-style setup with fresh local produce," Anne said.
Although students seem pleased with what they're hearing about Fusion Market, they expressed some frustrations at the inconvenience caused by GUS closing.
"I live right next door in Jones, so it was really convenient to just go [to GUS] for dinner," said junior Nathanael Geraci, adding that he plans on visiting Fusion Market once it opens.
"It was nice to have real food at the Union, and it's disappointing that they haven't opened [Fusion Market] yet," said senior Erin O'Reilly.
Scott said that although it might be inconvenient for GUS to be closed for the semester, he promised that the grand opening of Fusion Market "will be worth the wait."
Freshman Alex Lionetti, who said she is looking forward to seeing the finished product, said, "I think it's going to be good to buy food [in the Union] and not have to go up to Walmart or Wegmans for something quick."
The project will cost roughly $800,000 - $900,000 and its grand opening is scheduled for February.

While I have been enjoying the success of my first novel, I have also been working hard on the second. What a luxury it is to have a world already established in which I can immediately immerse my characters. This is a luxury I have never experienced before. I am taking some liberty in assuming that readers of this installment will have read the The Fruit of the Fallen, thus I can skip some historical narrative and concentrate on the present. You will find that knowing the history of the characters adds layers of complexity to conflicts I could not have achieved in the first book.
Read carefully and keep your mind open. There are twists and turns in the fabric of the plot that will keep you turning the pages. How surprised you will be when you realize that the clues were there all along to foreshadow the unexpected events, even in the first book!
Without giving too much away, I will announce that the format of the second novel is similar to that of the first. Two plotlines interweave as mystery and chase are used to establish suspense. Serenity must deal with returning to school and facing the issues she left behind. Here she will discover the most challenging conflict of all which will leave her questioning not only herself but her love for Tal as well. Add the unexpected loss of a close friend and Serenity will find herself doubting her ability to fulfill the destiny becoming clearer and clearer to her each day. Will the weight of the world be too much for our heroine? Meanwhile, Keats' research has unraveled a frightening certainty, one which will leave you doubting Serenity as well. The apocalypse is closer than they could ever have imagined, and the chase is on to discover if the inevitable can be prevented.

Valentine's can be a tricky time of year for many people (myself included). I am not in a relationship but still want to feel a part of this special day.
It can also be a bit of a challenge if you have started dating someone new and want to have a nice day with that new partner but not sure of how to navigate this love-filled holiday.
To help me through Valentine's, I recently spoke with Paddi Rice, President of Executive Search Dating in Vancouver.
Paddi shared with me his "Valentine's Day Survival Guide" for local singles.
"Although Valentine's Day is a day of romance, it is the MOST stressful day of the year for singles -- particularly those who don't have someone special in their life," says Paddi.
Paddi's guide is a summary of tips and advice which can help singles not only survive, but thrive on Valentine's Day.
Paddi shared with me his top tips.
Which is the best strategy to meet a mate? (online, activity clubs, etc.)
The first step is to decide what are your "dating goals":
If you're just looking to meet new people and keep it casual, then meeting through friends or work, free online dating or Smartphone dating apps, meet up groups, singles events and activities or bars can work.
If you're looking for something more serious, try a higher end/paid online dating service (ie. eHarmony, match.com, etc.), or a professional matchmaking service.
If you're looking for a relationship and are busy/time-constrained or concerned about privacy and safety, then a personalized matchmaking service would be best.
How to prepare for a first date and avoid being nervous?
Take the time to look your best, as that'll make you feel more confident.
Come prepared with some fun conversation topics to discuss on your date (travel stories, things you did over the holidays, movies, etc.).
Don't worry too much about "chemistry" -- focus more on making sure your date partner is having a good time.
Go on your date with a "second date mindset" -- resolve to see the person a second or third time unless the first date is a complete disaster.
A second date is a much better time to really get to know someone.
Here's a link to some more first date tips:
How To Have An Amazing First Date In 10 Seconds Or Less
What advice would you have for someone who hasn't been on the dating scene in a while?
Try not to think of it as a "date," but more as a chance to meet someone new and interesting.
Be prepared with some fun and interesting conversation topics to discuss on your date.
If you're feeling really nervous during your date, let your date know that it's because you haven't been on a date for a while -- they'll understand.
Above all, be positive!
Is it a good idea to date several people at the same time (if you are looking for a relationship)?
Dating more than one person initially is okay and even advisable if you've just started dating again. It's important to meet a number of people to fine tune what your looking for.
Don't rush into anything and proceed at a pace that you're uncomfortable with -- there's no right or wrong time to become more intimate with someone. This particularly applies if you've meet someone online or on Tinder!
Once you have met someone you've really connected with, your best bet is to focus on them and put a pause on dating other people for a while.
How soon should a person call for the second date? Or how long should you wait to speak again?
The best time to ask for a second date is while you're on a first date that's going well!
Forget what you've heard: there are no rules about when you should speak to someone again. If the date has gone well, the sooner the better!
Texting or emailing someone the next day and thanking them for a fun night is a polite and nice way to let them know you've enjoyed meeting them.
What is the best environment for a first date?
If you met someone online or on Tinder, best to go for a daytime coffee date in a public place, or an early evening after work drink at a local spot can also work.
For women in particular, remember that online dating sites and Tinder don't do any screening of your matches beforehand so be smart and safe about meeting someone for the first time.
If you've met someone through work, friends or a matchmaking service then it's okay to meet for an evening drink & appetizers.
In general, you want to keep the first date casual, avoid booking a long dinner in case you find that you're not really connecting.
Going for dinner is a better option on a second or third date once you know you've got some "chemistry."
I am going to use these helpful tips as I continue to date and look for that special partner.
Your suggestions are always welcome, as I continue on my journey to live life to the fullest. Let's have the very best 2015 and happy Valentine's day!

Whitmore Recital Hall
The Department of Ancient Mediterranean Studies at the University of Missouri, Columbia, with the assistance of the School of Music, is very proud to present: De Organographia: Music of the Ancient Greeks. This is a concert and a demonstation of the oldest extant musical scores from Europe, performed on reproductions of the original instruments.
Wed., Oct. 18
Whitmore Recital Hall
De organographia are Phil and Gayle Neuman, musicians, teachers, and instrument builders who engage in the performance of historical music from a variety of periods. They have received international recognition as performers and scholars of Ancient Greek music and have several recordings of this repertoire on the Pandourion label available from North Pacific Music.
They teach at various workshops on the west coast and in the midwest and direct the annual Early Music Guild of Oregon Workshop each fall. The Neumans have performed at the Smithsonian Institution, The Getty Center, Cleveland Museum of Art, Rice University, Amman Conservatory in Jordan, the Bodrum Crusader Castle Archeological Museum in Turkey, and at ancient theater sites in Epidaurus, Delphi, and Rhodes. They are members of The Trail Band, and have performed with the Handel & Haydn Society Orchestra, Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, Magnificat, and Cappella Romana.

Schools in the district are sharing $20 million in innovation funds, generating demand on how to merge computing into the curriculum.
(TNS) — Boulder Valley teachers sat on the floor Monday and programmed Dash robots to dance, spin, say short phrases and travel a geometric path.
As they worked, they shared ideas about how they could use the small robots in the coming school year, from math measurement lessons to programming them to give a tour of the giant Colorado map students create in social studies.
"My go-to comfort zone is not technology," said Christi Fetter, a fourth-grade teacher at Boulder's High Peaks Elementary. "I would never just order a robot like this. We get to play with them. It's not only fun, but you're always thinking about how to incorporate it in the curriculum."
The Boulder Valley School District hosted Innovate@BVSD, a two-day technology conference at Erie's Meadowlark PK-8 that included a mix of roundtable conversations, keynote speakers, panels, workshops and hands-on sessions.
About 160 teachers, most from Boulder Valley with a few from other districts and private schools, signed up for the conference, which ends Tuesday. The conference is free for Boulder Valley educators.
While the organizers brought in some outside experts for the conference, most of the presenters are district teachers.
"Teachers are helping to lead teachers," said Kelly Sain, Boulder Valley's educational technology director. "The whole point is to learn from each other."
Kim Becker, a science teacher at Lafayette's Centaurus High School, is giving a presentation on using technology to make curriculum more accessible to emerging bilingual students.
The conference, she said, is a good way to kick off the school year.
"It's about giving students the opportunity to create things and collaborate more," she said.
Along with class offerings, Monday's conference included a presentation by educators at schools a year after adding innovative spaces and furniture through Boulder Valley's $576.5 million bond issue approved in 2014.
Districtwide, schools are sharing $20 million in innovation money. Elementary schools receive $200,000, middle schools $400,000, K-8's $600,000 and high schools $800,000. The projects are staggered over multiple years.
So far, 14 schools have completed innovation projects. The next group, with 14 schools, is getting new spaces and furniture this summer.
On Tuesday, participants will have an opportunity to browse through a showcase of innovative student projects from the past school year, with teachers and students on hand to talk about the work.
"We have expert teachers and leaders who have really gone through the whole process," said Kiffany Lychock, Boulder Valley's innovation director. "They can showcase what's possible."
The conference also is taking advantage of Meadowlark's building, with building tours that allow teachers to see firsthand an innovative building design and flexible furniture.
Meadowlark, which opened as the district's first school in Erie in the fall of 2017, is one of four Boulder Valley schools that were designed to meet the learning needs of students in the 21st century.
On Monday, Cuningham Group Architecture project manager Kari-elin Mock and Meadowlark Principal Brent Caldwell talked about the school's design and led a tour through one of the school's multi-age learning communities.
Caldwell shared an example of how the teachers used double classrooms divided by easy-open center doors for a lesson on creating and passing a legislative bill.
About 80 students were divided into the House and the Senate, going into their "chambers" in the divided rooms to work on a bill separately and coming together in the full space to debate.
"That was what we designed this building to be able to do," he said.

Using smokeless tobacco has grown over the last few years primarily from the under 21 age group. As smoking was less acceptable and the overwhelming amount of evidence of tobacco's severe health effects are gradually acknowledged.
A significant portion of those users are adolescent men, and their numbers are growing by 30 to 50 percent since 2006. Young users begin as early as the 6th grade and regular consumers by high school. The Center for Disease Control reports the most significant increases in smokeless tobacco use have been from the 18 to 24 age category.
Smokeless tobacco contains nicotine and around thirty cancer-causing chemicals like tobacco that is smoked. A common misconception is it's somehow different or safer. Nicotine is quickly absorbed through the mucosa in the mouth readily attaining higher and potentially longer lasting nicotine levels than cigarette smoking.
Producers have packaged, flavored and promoted their bronchial products to facilitate young people and entice regular usage. Because of the addictive nature of nicotine, surveys reveal that users commonly proceed to higher levels of use due to their rising tolerance.
Smokeless Tobacco Products
Many of these users just don't understand the severe risks that ingesting tobacco retains. The high chances of developing ulcers of the stomach or esophagus, heart disease, higher blood pressure, fetal abnormalities when used during pregnancy would be the same as smoking tobacco. Smokeless tobacco wreaks havoc upon the teeth, gums, and tongue. Longer tooth decay and oral ulcers are common. A precancerous condition known as leukoplakia happens in roughly half of all users over the initial three years of routine use. If these white plaques or patches are identified early, it may be treated if tobacco use is stopped.
Quitting smokeless tobacco pouches could be equally as tricky as smoking due to the addiction to smoking. The same options are available to customers like nicotine replacement products. Consult your healthcare provider to see if one of those prescription medications and counseling can help you stop. Nicotine is a powerful addiction and is difficult to overcome. Nevertheless, it may be done with an organized approach. Marketing efforts to glamorize tobacco use is quite prevalent and appears to be effective in younger customers. As a few people have stated, nothing is appealing about seeing someone drooling brown spit into a cup or on the ground. The devastating health problems are entirely avoidable.
22 analyzed the relationship between physical fitness and mortality from all causes.
The uniqueness of the study was twofold: first, the researchers measured the physical fitness level of areas by treadmill testing, and secondly, more than 3000 of the 13,344 subjects were women.
Because of the lower risk for cardiovascular disease, women also have mostly been neglected as subjects in heart disease studies.
A reduced physical Fitness level increased the probability of death by cardiovascular disease, cancer, and the other forms of disease. The difference in all-cause mortality was highest among people who were in the reasonably fit category and those from the low match category. The gap between the moderately healthy and the highly fit was insignificant. For individuals that exercise frequently, the possibility of dying from a heart attack compared with the risk for sedentary people is 35 percent to 55 percent less.

Whoulda' thunk that Grapefruit, Red Grapes and fresh Organic Greens could taste so good together? Blended with all the other ingredients I chose, it seems to be the perfect balance of sweet, tangy and nutty. And as far as nutrition goes, today's concoction is no lightweight. In fact, this heart healthy smoothie is literally packed with Potassium, Protein, Antioxidants, Phytonutrients, Polyphenols, Flavonoids; I mean, this list goes on and on.
But what does all of this mean for you? It means you are helping your body to fight the very diseases that are killing the majority of our nation. Obesity, Diabetes, Cancer, Coronary Heart Disease…you name it, these illnesses are not "random acts of god" nor can they be simply shrugged off as "genetic". You can stop the cycle by simply changing your diet. We're going to prevent these epidemics by starting with ourselves first; by eating whole, plant based foods.
Drink it, don't overthink it.
8 oz Almond Milk
2 large handfuls of Mixed Baby Greens (I used Kale, Spinach and Chard)
1 Banana
1/2 Cup Red Seedless Grapes
1/2 Grapefruit (no rind but keep pith)
1/4 Quinoa Flakes
2 Turkish Figs
1 serving Vega One Protein (I used Coconut Almond)
1 Tbsp Maca Powder
1 Tbsp Chia Seed
5 Ice Cubes
As always, the best way to break down the greens is to blend them first with the liquid base. This will allow the blades to really work the leaves into the liquid without leaving a gritty texture. Once you've done that, you can add everything else in there and blend it again on the high setting until it's super smooth. Enjoy!

A weekend filled with love, life, laughter and old friends. A weekend of joy and bubbles. Understated but oh so perfect. Again I am blessed to have amazing friends and to be asked to record a momentous occasion by an old friend was an honor.
Erin thank you for being so god damn beautiful and Guy thank you for allowing me to be part of what can only be considered a perfect weekend.
This occasion was held on a beach that has never before hosted a wedding. Tucked away on a piece of private paradise in Wanaka. If you would like more information send me an email :)

1. It's still so dark.
2. The thickness of the fog reminds me of somewhere that's not where I am. The landscape and the weather is so different here. What a difference 12 miles can make.
3. Frozen waffles for them. Fruit for me plus one cappuccino and lots of warm lemon water and kombucha.
4. I know how to work through this. I shake out the rugs and clean the bathrooms. Light candles. Reorganize my drawers. Dust the baseboards and the dressers. This kind of attention to the home breeds gratitude.
5. Morning pages in the afternoon.
6. Just him and me today. I always joke that he would have been happier as an only child.
7. I write my husband a letter. He likes these. Plus there are things to say, like "thank you."
8. Malbec.
9. He asks me to lay down with him. Reminds me that I used to do this at the old house.
10. Is it possible to clean your way out of sadness? I'm not sad. Really I am just worried. Worried that I'm not doing enough. Worried about my parents and the failing pumps in their city. Worried about getting a flat tire with a car full of children. I'm not worried. I'm afraid. So many fears. I want to remember what it was like to not be afraid.

Each of you in attendance were asked to be here because you hold a special place in Spouse2's and Spouse1's life. You came to honor and witness their love and commitment. So, SPOUSE2 and SPOUSE1 wanted to make each of you a tangible part of this ceremony. On their behalf, I will now ask each of you to put a spoonful of sand into this container, representing your love and support for them.
SPOUSE1 and SPOUSE2, today you are making a commitment to share the rest of your lives with each other. Your relationship will be symbolized through the pouring of these two individual containers of sand; each representing all that you were, all that you are, and all that you will ever be.
Consider your containers of sand. Each one holds its own unique beauty, strength, and character. They can stand on their own and be whole, without the need of anything else. These containers represent your lives to this moment; individual and unique. As you now combine your sand together, your lives also join together as one.
When the two are blended, together they represent an entirely new and extraordinary loving relationship. Each grain of sand brings to the mixture a lasting beauty that forever enriches the combination. The life that each of you have experienced until now, individually, will hereafter be inseparably united, for the two shall become one. Just as these grains of sand can never be separated and poured again into the individual containers, so will your lives be.

One thing I will say IMO it was idiocy of him to bring IQ scores into the discussion. But maybe that is not a strong indicator of whether he will ultimately be an effective leader. Time will tell (presuming we have any time left!)
The estate tax only applies to extremely rich people. Yet us peasants are still required to pay gift taxes...
Had he simply invested his daddycs money in the S&P 500 he would be wealthier.

An IQ in the 150's is consistent with Trump's marks to get into Wharton.
Wharton has a very famous business school, particularly known for its MBA course - which Trump did not take. He took some Wharton classes, but he graduated from Pennsylvania with a Bachelor of Science degree in economics and anthropology.
Plus, the original article estimates Trump's IQ based on Wharton's admissions requirements. But Trump didn't go through the usual admissions process - he transferred to Wharton from the main Pennsylvania intake part way through his first year, the conditions for which are less rigorous.
Not being a Wharton MBA graduate doesn't automatically make Trump a dummy. University of Pennsylvania is a highly regarded, Ivy League school. But Trump has never released his High School or College Transcripts, so it's impossible to tell how he got in to the school or got on while he was there.
He didn't make the 'Dean's List' - a list of students recognised for academic achievement. And he didn't graduate with any kind of honours.

As a film student, getting to meet professional actors and directors is greatly inspirational for me. I recently got the opportunity to meet the writer and director of The Artist, Michel Hazanavicius, and one of the actresses from the film, Berenice Bejo. They were speaking at an event that my film class attended, during which we had the opportunity to ask them questions and analyze their film The Artist. The most exciting part for me was to hear about the reasons for making the movie and what Michel and Berenice gained from it.
The Artist came into the world of cinema at a very interesting time. In the twenty-first century most people think of hit movies as comedies, action movies with more violence than plot and romantic "chick flicks". However, if you say the term silent film people generally think of old movies made in the early 1900s. Yet The Artist is a one of a kind film, as it is a silent film released in 2011 instead of 1920. It was brave of Michel to release such a unique film into an arena of very modern films. I think this movie in particular really gets to the core of classic filmmaking. It's not about violent action or intense dialogue; it's about images and emotion. To me, the images of films are what separates them from books and what makes them so unique. The emphasis on imagery and using it to tell a story without dialogue is what makes The Artist so special.
In my opinion, another part of the film's success is the way it relates to human uniqueness. We are very visual beings and we use our imaginations on a daily basis. This film really taps into that imaginative and analytical side of people. We get to imagine what the characters' voices sound like and we also get to imagine the colors of the world around them, and each of us can imagine it differently. I think this makes the film more fun for people to watch because they tend to be more involved in the movie's world when part of it is something they imagined for themselves.
When Michel was speaking to us, he also emphasized the importance of imagery and the importance of having a strong script. Even though there isn't a lot of dialogue, the movements of the characters and the way the camera captures them are essential to this film. He also mentioned that the movie was heavily influenced by this study of old silent films. I thought it was wonderful that Michel was able to educate people about old movies though making The Artist. Releasing the movie to a modern audience with a huge success rate really shows the timelessness of those old films. If more people watched old silent films they would probably enjoy them, but there is a general lack of awareness in today's culture about the richness of old filmmaking. This movie does a great job of educating people about what they're missing by not watching those films.
If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend The Artist. You can find it at the library. Hopefully it will inspire you to at least dip your toe into the expansive ocean of wonderful old silent films. If you do, I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for reading and happy movie watching!

As people who have been following my blog for a while (or have read my early posts / about me page) will know, last October I took a bit of a leap into the unknown, quitting my job and setting out on my own. I had a plan, though perhaps it wasn't as fully thought out as I thought it was when I handed in my notice, and a huge desire to change my life.
The plan, to work freelance doing what I was already doing – bid and project management – whilst moving into a new field – writing, editing and proofreading. I knew it was a big change, though there are lots of transferable skills with what I do now, and that it would take time. I had figured three to six months before I even saw a sniff of new work and maybe a bit less for my current field.
Three months later, where am I? Well, I've had two offers for temporary work doing what I do, which has been a relief, and I've been training up for what I want to do, learning the trade from the ground up and not expecting too much but enjoying every bit of it. Which was another huge relief – what if I hadn't?
I have also spent some time getting to know other people who are currently doing what I want to do. They are a wonderful group of people, helpful and supportive, and it has given me courage to keep going. It's also made me readjust my timelines for getting where I want to, but that's o.k. I had wondered if I was being overly optimistic anyway and I wold rather be realistic and not be disappointed when the results are slower than slow…as long as there are results.
My days are fuller than I thought they would be and so much better now the stress of my old job is gone. The lack of early starts and calls till late into the evening are not missed, and neither is the pressure. Just before Christmas, I met with old colleagues and my old boss. Going to meet up with people, I was anxious. I wondered how I would feel, if I would miss work once I started seeing people again, that I had made the wrong choice.
Listening to them talk about work, about the politics, the drama and the stresses left me knowing – without a doubt – that I had made the right decision to leave. Realising this was another big sigh of relief and reassured me that, whatever happens, I will be o.k. because I am better in myself than I have been for the last few years. I look better, I feel better, and I know others have seen it too – though what they were saying about me before given what they are saying about me now, I have to wonder 🙂
Now, though, the big push comes. The training is done and the work of promoting myself and getting that first job needs to start. Which brings me to my new year's resolution (well one, the others are getting fit, eating well – the usual). I want to write it down here so I don't forget and – putting it out there – will hopefully spur me on. In 2018, I will be brave. I will not fall back on doing what I do but push forward so that this time next year, I can change my LinkedIn Profile and leave bidding and project management behind. What about you – do you have any work-related resolutions?
Emma x
Relief, reassurance and resolutions…
Good for you! You are brave and determined, and have clear goals in mind. I had to wait for retirement to do what I love (writing, blogging, reading), lol.
Sounds like you made the right choice. I know sometimes life nudges us to take a leap and it turns out to be just what we need. Thanks for sharing your resolution. You are already being brave by sharing this.

You may access the comment by clicking on the "Analysis (Glossary Comment)" and "Case Studies" categories or by typing "Task #3: Abbreviate" into the search box.
You may print the excerpt for class discussions.
Sample Excerpt
Steinbeck shows Elisa startled by her own whisper; she ran back into the house and prepared for Henry's arrival and their departure into town. In this part of the narrative, Elisa is exhaustively making preparations. After her shower, "she puts on her newest under-clothing and her nicest stockings and the dress which was the symbol of her prettiness. She worked carefully on her hair, penciled her eyebrows and roughed her lips" (Steinbeck 226). Before, as stated earlier, Steinbeck shows Elisa as representing a man through her attire. Now the dress symbolizes, as the author states, her prettiness; or the more appealing, attractive part of Elisa. Henry comes in and comments on how nice she looks. She questions his motive and he returns dumbfounded. He comments again on how strong she looks and she replies, "I am strong? Yes, strong . . . I never knew before how strong . . ." (Steinbeck 226). It is clear that even though she concludes that she is strong, she still doesn't feel it because she had to question first and answer later.
Figure 77: Essay Excerpt on "Chrysanthemums" (Plot Summary Critique)
The student provides ample plot summary, but little to no analysis.
1) What is the context of the whisper?
2) Why does Steinbeck present so much detail about Elisa as she prepares for her husband's arrival?
3) What is the difference between Steinbeck's presentation of Elisa at the beginning and the presentation the reader now experiences of her?
4) Does the dress only symbolize prettiness or indicate the separation of gender roles within the context of the literary work?
5) Elisa likes comments. Why?
6) Think about two contexts: the visitor's comments and Henry's.
Group Activity
Answer the questions above.
Develop an analysis based upon the questions.

22 Feb Is it creative to sell a destructive product?
You can be thankful that cigarette advertising is banned in so many parts of the world. Bans remove any temptation to ply your creative skills on these lung busters.
Cigarette advertising was the first large-scale ethical dilemma for the advertising business and the first declared 'no go' zone. Many of the dangers of cigarettes were not understood when the ad wars began but the weight of science and public opinion was eventually too much for anyone of good conscience to stomach.
In fairness, most of us would give the thumbs down to pushing heroin, hand grenades or nuclear waste even if it were legal. Some things are just so obviously damaging or dangerous that we draw a line hard and fast.
On the flip side, however, are seemingly harmless products and services that are considered fair game… snack foods, fast foods, soft drinks, confectionary and pharmaceuticals to single out a few.
They're legal products and they're legal to advertise so there's no real issue and no dilemma for creative people. Or is there?
As Brene Brown points out in her now legendary TED talk, we are the most overweight, debt laden and medicated generation ever. Obesity, diabetes, stress related illnesses and chemical addictions are running at epidemic levels.
Does advertising have any responsibility for the role it plays in stimulating demand and desire for products that contribute to these kinds of issues?
Naturally industry bodies and lobby groups talk about working within the law, responsible advertising, codes of conduct and the ridiculousness of nanny states.
But my question is a more intimate one. Are you really being creative when, by exercising your talents brilliantly, you may be amplifying negative, damaging and sometimes deadly outcomes?
Are you actually being creative, or destructive?
A version on this post will appear in the next issue of Campaign Asia-Pacific

I did a fab workshop with my exceptionally talented friend Laurie Glenny on Monday. We worked with Oil glazes and it was so nice to try something different for a change. Such fun, and I'm looking forward to creating a series to hang up in my house now that I know how it all works. It was fantastic to get paint under my nails again, only thing is I now want to hang my masterpiece up, but it still needs to dry for about a week which is so frustrating!

Happy New Year! This is a refreshing time. Fresh beginnings and a new start is promised. You "said yes" and you are so excited to plan a new life with your partner. When choosing to marry, you take the fresh beginning to another level.
Now what? Working with couples, Time is now your biggest asset or liability. It is up to you to choose. Whether you are young, getting married for the first time, or choosing to renew life and love for the 2nd time, a lot of things are changing and transitioning for you both. Such as school, career changes, purchasing a home, or relocation. You will both be torn in many directions in the upcoming months.
Time management is a must! Keep your "Big Day" slotted for less hectic times. Don't pick a date near the time for your final exams, or buy and move into a new home. Even the most organized person cannot do 2 things at one time well. You will have lots of details to handle prior to the last days before your wedding. Remove the stress to alleviate some of the drama that comes with planning a life changing event.
What last minute details will you need to handle? Things like:
A member of the wedding party cannot show up.
The flowers that were ordered did not come in as planned.
The weather is adversely affecting my outdoor wedding.
I have waited until the last minute to decide on ceremony and reception music.
Give each event in your lives the appropriate amount of time and effort. Your monetary investment deserves your full attention. Hire professionals that can advise of any obstacles that can negatively impact your special day of celebration. Their costs will be worth the money you invest in them for saving time, effort, your budget and your sanity.
Regardless if you have a beach wedding, barn wedding, traditional church wedding, or destination wedding, keep one final thought when setting your expectations: After your official ceremony, the remainder of the day is just "a party"! Enjoy it!

Wow! This summer has been flying by! We hope that everyone had a fantastic 4th of July weekend! This week Megan has a some advice on how to save money on the florals for your big day! Everyone planning a wedding knows that florals can be an expensive portion of your budget, but with these tips, hopefully you can save some money (because who doesn't want that?!)!
- Stay in season – this tip is tried and true. If you want peonies in the dead of winter, you're going to be paying a pretty penny. Ask your florist for recommendations as to what's in season that fits your aesthetic.
- DIY does not. mean. easy!! – I always say you can DIY anything, just not everything. Flowers are something that I am very hesitant to encourage brides to do themselves for a few major reasons.
1. You must do a test run! This is non-negotiable! Give yourself the opportunity to try floral arranging a few months ahead of time and determine if it's really something you feel you can tackle the week of your wedding. You might find that you love it and making centerpieces is totally calming! You might also find that it's not really your thing and doing 20 centerpieces and 10 bouquets two days before your wedding is more stress than it's worth. Either way, you'll feel good about your decision!
2. Flowers are perishable. IE. You can't do them more than a day or two ahead of time. So on top of your family coming into town, last minute appointments, rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, etc. you've got to find time to arrangement flowers!
3. You have to buy much more than just blooms. In pretty much every wedding, we use pins, ribbons, shears, floral tape, wire, foam, vases, etc. It's not that these things are complicated or hard to track down, but these things can add up if you have to buy everything at once!
- Make your budget known upfront – When you meet with a potential florist for the first time, come with a number in mind. Nothing is worse than a client coming in with all of these gorgeous inspiration photos, not knowing what they want to spend, and receiving a proposal from their florist that is way way WAY more than they wanted to spend. Flowers can be beautiful on any budget! (Seriously!!) There is absolutely no need to feel embarrassed by yours. Say it confidently and ask your florist for any expertise they can offer to maximize it!
- Hire a florist you trust – We work with flowers all the time! We know where to get them, how to make sure they're perfect, and how to make a ton of different ingredients come together in a perfect arrangement. If you hire a florist you trust, you can give them your color scheme, style, and budget and let them work their magic! A good example of this is our own use of carnations! People have some very strong opinions on carnations because they are so common and are perceived as a cheap flower. Now, if you absolutely hate the bloom, of course we won't use it! But if you give us creative license and trust us to bring your vision to life while staying in your budget, you might be surprised to find out that we can use some of the less common, really pretty varieties of this flower to make an arrangement really lush and full on a very small budget! If you trust your vendors, your wedding day will be stress free because you know you've got a team working to make your day magical!
Another piece of advice I've heard when a close friend got married, is that if you want floral arrangements for various tables, but don't want to spend the extra cash... use the bridesmaids bouquets! Set some pretty vases on the tables/bar/whatever your wanting decorated, and ask the girls when the ceremony and pictures are over that they place their flowers in the vases! That way you get a two-in-one effect! And to be honest....no one will even notice unless you tell them!
So, all in all... set a budget and find a florist that will work with and make the most of it! Anything is possible in the world of flowers! Feel free to contact us to get the floral design magic flowing!
All florals featured designed by Celebrate Colorfully!

|Thank the Lord it's Friday. This week has been so busy, in a good way, but busy nonetheless...
Jacket, Necklace, & Crop Top: Zara / Top: H&M / Skirt: Thrifted / Shoes: Aldo
|You know, the typical ramp up that occurs when Spring and Summer arrive. Only it's pretty damn cold here, so it doesn't feel like Spring. That presents a struggle for us folks who don't do cold weather well like me.
Yesterday I had the pleasure of speaking on the Business of Blogging panel at Flex Office Space in DC. I should've posted it on the blog but my weeks have been crazy and I forgot to. You can keep up with me via Twitter & Instagram when the blog is quiet!! That's where I post a lot of events.

Join us Thursday, March 29th at 4pm for an artist talk with Gary Monroe, followed by a reception for his exhibition of photographs.
Gary Monroe: Photographs provides a glimpse into a number of communities that add to the character of this place and this mentality that we call Florida. From the Old World Jews who populated South Beach Miami, to Haitian resettlement camps, to the tourists visiting Disney, and the very landscapes that these cities and communities are built upon. Monroe has spent his life capturing little moments that reflect bigger ideas.

I went to the opening party for the Handpicked Media LFW suite at the OneAldwych. It was rather good fun! First we had a well-deserved drink. Then after taking a look around the racks of clothes, I quickly settled in the playroom amongst the underwear, in true Barbarella style.
I was immediately drawn to the manicure corner where the guys had gathered around. This is Stu with captivating glossy black nails. Stu is hilarious and you can check him out here.
He was quickly followed by jewelery-enthusiast Callum who went for a Black & Gold theme.
The debauchery continued as Harry said "Shall I try on a bra?"
Harry is the new Jodie March. And you haven't even seen him in a bodychain

Now back to me:

The church needs heretics and Jesus himself was seen as one, argues Steve in the 4th instalment of the Chalke Talk video series.
Chalke Talk 4 - The Church needs heretics 24.11.17 from Open Church network on Vimeo.
In order to stay relevant and to keep rediscovering the true message of scripture, we need people who can challenge prevailing orthodoxies and think outside the box. Often these people – from Jesus to Martin Luther-King and William Wilberforce – were branded as heretics. But perhaps one generation's heretic may turn out to be the next generation's prophet.
Why is it that it is only with hindsight that we recognise these were people who had the vision to see clearly, as well as the faith, curiosity and courage to challenge the prevailing 'orthodoxy' – and bring about moral change?

Deep Winter in the Old World: the photos of Tamás Hajdu
zita kisgergely
In Transylvania the snow is deeper, the nights are darker, and everything just appears a bit stranger. At least it does through the eyes of veterinarian and photographer Dr. Tamás Hajdu, whose photographs of the area have brought him much international attention. While the area around Nagybánya, where the photographer lives, falls within Romanian borders, it was formerly part of Hungary, and many villages retain their Hungarian identity in language and culture. But you won't find Gothic castles or vampire allusions here: Hajdu specializes in capturing the unexpected in everyday life, and doesn't let a cold snowy day keep him from his craft.
You can find more of these stunning photos on Dr. Hajdu's blog here, or follow him on Facebook here. Click on the photos to enlarge.

The first problem perhaps faced by beginners in rehabbing houses is making estimates. What amount do obtain this home? How much will you expend repairs? Simply how much will you sell it all? Especially for those who have no experience estimating, this step could be a hassle.
But in order to succeed finding the best residential real estate investor deal, there are some things you have to use into narrative. Following these steps will ensure that you don't default on your mortgage may keep home for quite a while.
I've never done this before in this manner, so I'm going to use some visual aids. One of them is actually one associated with these desktop photo calendars. actually a couple of them. I'm going to use someone to do 1st planning, so i could scribble, scratch out, take notes, publicize changes. I'll copy the final plan towards other one when I'm done marking up 1st. I'm also going using colored pens to clearly mark some types of activities. When I'm done I'm gonna be post it on the wall, so everyone can see it. That way, it really is literally be on the "same" . I think I'll also apply certain kind of thermometer-type graphics or some bar charts to visually express crucial elements of the plan and the progress we make.
However, we still still receive questions at a rapid clip from my savvy readers on one more important consideration Federal Housing Rescue account. Here's the five top frequently asked questions for that month of March 12 months 2010. Hopefully the answers as well as concerns will a person a clearer view of that latest support.
Residential Income: You have ever heard the proverbe. "Everyone needs a place to live". That is true, but watch the "trickle down effect" take an interesting gyration during a heavy difficult financial time.
If you knew that for every 100 rejected offers you made, simply get 1 offer signed for? Would you be ready to make those 100 offers? Especially knowing the profit potential on typically bank foreclosures? scott plank real estate turning large profits for investors is everything you playing the numbers game.
The house cost about ,000 all of us paid about ,000 to fix it up and quickly leased it with a solution to buy at ,000. The tenant buyer was paying us 0 per month. I thought this was exceptional. I had never seen anything like that in commercial real estate investing trading shares or commodities market.
The uncomplicated truth? An "opportunity" only has meaning not by what it is but by this really allows you to do. Success opportunities are everywhere if we merely know in order to look, and the way that to exploit them.
"How i'd like to get into real estate and reduce my risk, maximize my dollar and learn; all at comparable time" haven't got the time ask. You will find there's couple methods. First, you can spend thousands of dollars on the mentor. The other side to is actually not that grime really exactly what you have grown to be and even if you find a really good one, there's no established marketing plan. A mentor is recommended though, don't misunderstand me. However, in my opinion, factors better ways to get the most from your investment opportunity.
