Later today, at 6PM local time or 9PM eastern, President Obama will address the nation and lay out his strategy to degrade and destroy the Islamic State insurgency operating in Iraq and Syria. This will likely involve significant escalation of the US military role in the area, but we aren't sure about the intervention in Syria; probably a combination of airstrikes, and support for more moderate Syrian forces willing to carry out attacks on both ISIS and Assad; along with regional allies providing on the ground support.
The president has pledged there will not be boots on the ground. He said: "This is not the equivalent of the Iraq war. What this is similar to is the kinds of counter-terrorism campaigns that we've been engaging in consistently over the last five, six, seven years." Which sounds like a distinction without a difference.
Earlier today an administration spokesman said: "The president will discuss how we are building a coalition of allies and partners in the region and in the broader international community to support our efforts, and will talk about how we work with the Congress as a partner in these efforts."
That doesn't mean Congress would actually vote on going to war. For weeks, the administration, and particularly the Pentagon, has urged Congress to approve $500 million in funding to train and arm Syrian rebels to fight ISIS. The legislation has been stuck on Capitol Hill since Obama first sought it in May, but it could provide both Obama and Congress with an opportunity to tacitly enlist congressional support for a war without a formal vote ahead of the November midterm elections, something many politicians this week indicated they wish to avoid.
As one geopolitical hotspot heats up, another looks to be cooling. Ukraine's president said today Russia had removed the bulk of its forces from his country, raising hopes a ceasefire might hold. Ukraine's military recorded at least six violations of the ceasefire overnight but said there were no casualties. And Russia conducted military tests of a nuclear capable intercontinental missile.
Ukrainian President Poroshenko said he would propose a bill next week offering "special status" to parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of eastern Ukraine now controlled by rebels, but he was adamant in rejecting the separatists' demands for full independence for their regions and the kind of "federalization" favored by Russia.
Meanwhile Russia faces the threat of further sanctions; the kind that could actually strike at the heart of the Russian economy, its oil industry. Proposed new sanctions would cut off Russia's access to the technology to drill its richest oil fields. Bloomberg reports the sanctions would bar companies like ExxonMobil, Shell, and BP from using their resources—such as advanced drills and experts—to work in the Russian Arctic and an enormous Siberian oilfield. Neither the US nor Europe have decided whether to proceed, but a European decision could come at any time. If Europe goes ahead with the new penalties, the US would match them.
On Wall Street there seemed to be no worries about war. Apple bounced back. This remains an Apple-dominated market, especially in a week where we don't have a lot of economic data. After a couple of down days, the S&P bounced back. The S&P 500 hasn't posted a four-day string of losses in all of 2014. Crude oil futures fell to a 16-month low; there's plenty of supply and demand has been constrained.
Today is Internet Slowdown Day. You may or may not have noticed certain websites with the dreaded spinning wheel of death loading symbol. Several websites have banded together to protest proposed changes to net neutrality rules, which would allow Internet service providers to charge high traffic websites more or essentially force them to create a "slow lane" for customers. The loading icons lead users to the "Battle for the Net" website where they can sign a letter to Congress, the Federal Communications Commission and the White House. The hope is that the campaign will inspire millions of people to submit comments to the FCC on net neutrality before the public comment period ends on Sept. 15.
Commerce Department reports wholesale inventories rose just 0.1% in July, and inventories excluding autos was flat. This is an interesting economic indicator because it gives us a hint at future economic activity; you have to have wholesale inventory before you make the retail sale. Inventories added 1.4 percentage points to GDP growth in the second quarter. The slow pace of inventory accumulation, however led several financial firms to lower their estimates for third quarter GDP, down to the 2.5% to 2.8% range. Of course, inventories ebb and flow; so, if inventories are light in the third quarter that might force some businesses to restock for the fourth quarter. Still, for all the stories about the economy being poised for big growth in the second half, most of the data points to a slow, steady slog.
Relapse is the rule of the recovery, and it's a global relapse. The US, Japan, and Europe continue to see GDP growth falter. In the US we had a first quarter contraction; part of the blame was weather, but that was just part of the problem. Europe's fragile economy has similarly failed to recover strongly enough to ward off periodic growth setbacks. As a result, annual growth in the 18-country eurozone slipped to just 0.4% in the first half of 2014. Earlier this week, Japan reported a 6.8% contraction in second quarter GDP.
The Bank of Japan has pushed a short-term interest rate below zero to try and stimulate the economy and fend off deflation. The BOJ bought three-month bills for more than their redemption value this week, essentially paying to lend money to the market. Giving away money, as the BOJ will be doing if it holds the paper to maturity, is basically subsidizing Japanese banks. Lenders that buy debt from the government stand to make an easy profit if the government pays above par for the paper.
The European Central Bank recently decided to go negative on reserve deposits held by banks, trying to push money back into circulation. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve FOMC meets next week, and you have to wonder how they'll respond to the negative rates from the ECB and the BOJ. It is pretty certain the Fed will continue to taper, and stop buying bonds in October; but the next question is when they will start raising targets on interest rates. For several months the Fed has been sticking with the somewhat vague guidance that it will be a "considerable time" before we see rate increases.
Next, consider the performance of the S&P 500; after the crash in 2008, the S&P bottomed in 2009, and then went on to double. For the past 34 months the S&P 500 has not seen a correction of 10%, the third longest correction free stretch in the past 25 years. A chart of the past five years is the very picture of a relentless uptrend. Some people have been lulled into believing that this is typical market behavior; it is not. If you are looking for a reason for the bull market, look no further than the Federal Reserve; they have thrown a lot of money at Wall Street. But now they are promising to stop the flow of easy money, and eventually raise rates. This is not a guarantee that the equity party is over, but just a reminder the party won't last forever.
The stock market is near an all-time, but economic activity is not. Corporate earnings have been good but revenue has been weak; this reflects the distortions of stock buybacks, but even more, it shows a lack of demand. Weak demand does not bode well for earnings growth. Meanwhile, the global economy wobbles, with the EU and Japan propped up by negative interest rates; China seems doomed to repeat the mistakes that hobbled Japan's economy for a decade, and emerging markets still suffer from the last beat down. The US looks good by comparison but that's just the prettiest horse in the glue factory argument. So, you probably think the market is ready for a pullback at the very least, and maybe even a good old fashion crash. But, as always, timing is….. everything.
This is not the time to go short. Picking tops is more a matter of luck than science. There may be many indicators of a top, but it's smart to listen to the market because you can't dictate to the market. So, rather than going short, now seems like a good time to lock in some gains and take out some insurance, or hedge some bets.
There are several hedging techniques, including inverse ETFs and shorts. The problem is that the past five years have not been a good time to be short, and we don't know if the bull market will end tomorrow, or next month, or next year. Shorts and inverse ETFs are great only after the uptrend ends and you see a clear indication of a reversal. Markets can sometimes defy gravity; markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.
Other popular hedges include options, which can be very effective, but you have to pay a premium for the option. Options are a form of insurance, but they are like term insurance, you pay the premium every month, and if the market doesn't die, you have to pay again next month. If you stop paying, you lose your coverage.
Locking in gains just makes common sense. You are not in the market for the long haul, you are in the market to make money. The way you make money in the market is to buy low and sell high, and not lose money. It's really not complicated. One of the easiest things you can do is use stops. If the price falls, you get stopped out, and you collect your profits. Another way is to harvest gains; the idea is that if you have doubled your original investment, sell part of it. Now you're playing with the house's money.

Speaker 1: 00:00 Podcasting from southern California, this is On The Net, your go-to for everything you need to know about how to get your business online and keep it there—brought to you by Lunarpages. We'll help you navigate the mystifying ins and outs of doing business in today's digital era. From web hosting to ecommerce to security and protection, if it has to do with your online presence, we've got it covered. Let's get started.
Speaker 2: 00:31 Hello everyone. Welcome to On The Net, where it's all about your online presence. Thanks for joining us! This podcast is designed to make doing business online easy for web designers, developers, bloggers and online business of every shape and size. Whether you are new to buying web hosting or running a web site, this podcast show will be able to answer your most burning questions. While launching a website isn't as complicated as launching a space shuttle, there is still a number of people working together creatively, such as the web designer, copywriter, developer and project manager, to ensure that everything looks good and also functions smoothly, The team has spent months building your website and it is finally ready to be launched into the world – yay!! But before you do that- have you run through all the final checks? It doesn't bode well for your company, if major flaws are discovered in your website after the launch because you are likely to lose out on potential customers.
Speaker 2: 01:22 In today's podcast we will go over the final check list of things you should double-check on before the launch of your website. First, Proofread Website Content- Nowadays it is easy to make copy changes quickly with a content management system, but you really don't want to launch your site with even the smallest spelling or grammatical error. This is sure to put your customers off. It is best to proof read the content on all your web pages before launching a website and also make sure that all phone numbers, addresses and contact information are correct and current. Second, Check Links- During the design phase, you might have included buttons or menu items but then forgot to link them correctly. Before launching a website, go over your main navigation, footer navigation, linked buttons and images, social links to make sure all the links actually go to the correct place.
Speaker 2: 02:11 None of the links should be broken and the links should ideally open in another tab, if they are redirecting visitors to another website. Next, Perform a Functionality Check- You don't want traffic landing on a website that isn't functioning properly so it is essential to really test any forms on your website, such as contact forms, email subscriptions, etc. Before launching a website, send test emails from your forms to confirm that they are working properly and being received by the right personnel. Make sure that the email opt-in for your newsletter is also working. If the forms are integrated with a third party tool like your CRM, lead management or marketing automation tool, then you want to make sure that the data is syncing correctly with these platforms. Also, before launching a website, go over each page to make sure the CTAs, signposts and forms are optimized to make your website the ultimate lead generation tool.
Speaker 2: 03:03 If you are running an ecommerce site, make sure your cart works and people can check out with ease. Finally to check your website speed online and get detailed reports about what could be slowing your site down, you can use GT Matrix or Page Scoring. Then go about fixing the issues to boost the speed of your website. Number four: SEO Audits- Before launching a website it's vital to set up the site up and follow best practices for search engine optimization (SEO). Each page of your website should have a unique title tag and meta description to make it easier for search engines to decipher the content on the page and index the site. Make a quick run through just before launch to ensure that none of the meta tags are unfilled. Don't forget to take full advantage of keyword rich headings on pages, image ALT tags, robots.txt and other technical optimization tactics to help your site rank higher up in search engine results.
Speaker 2: 03:57 Set up 301 redirects to prevent any crawl errors on your site as a result of pages not being found. Make sure to include XML sitemaps in your website to inform search engines about the pages published. You can use plugins such as Yoast SEO for WordPress, to automate the creation and maintenance of xml sitemaps. Do this all before the launch—not after. Number five: Correct Website Favicons- Favicons are little images (logo or symbol) that appear in the address bar and browser tab and they are an additional branding for your website. Besides providing credibility to your site this little touch forms a good impression on potential customers. Before your site launches, make sure that the favicon image is formatted to 16×16 or 32×32 pixels. Six, Perform Browser and Mobile Compatibility Check- Your site is likely to be accessed by visitors from various sources and devices. When launching a website,
Speaker 2: 04:51 you need to make sure that your site is compatible with all browsers and renders correctly across all devices including Android, iPhone, Tablets and so on, so that all users have the same, high-quality experience when browsing your website. Your website should be mobile friendly and not look distorted on any mobile screen. Lastly, where is the site being hosted? Like we have stressed before, this is the most important factor in ensuring the integrity and security of your website. So choose a web host after due diligence and well ahead of time so that there is no delay in the launch of your site because of hosting issues. There could be many more things added to this pre-launch checklist depending on how sophisticated your website is but the ones we have touched on in this podcast applies to all website projects. And it is worthwhile to remember that launching your website is just the beginning of your journey, because once your site is live, you should ideally have a plan in place for regular maintenance.

I love that Pastor Jesse declares just how much he loves this time of year, especially the aroma of intentionality in the air. We're just coming down from riding the miracle wave of Christmas, and the hope for a brighter year ahead has never been more potent. You can't argue it: the new year propels a desire for change.
If I'm keeping it one-hundred percent real with you, I didn't want to be the "New Years Resolution" guy again. Most of us don't even carry the right motives when we set these goals anyway, and really, the entirety of the goal-setting culture usually isn't my thing. It's probably because it's never worked for me.
So, I refused. I just wasn't going to do it like I've always done it.
Funnily enough, I came to this conclusion already in October. Largely, I've been disappointed in myself year after year. I still knew, however, the things in my life that needed to see true change. I was hyper-aware of these things at all times. Not ironically, they're the same things that I've been wanting to see change in for the better part of a decade now.
Am I the only one who has found this to be such an exhausting way to live?
I realized very quickly that thinking about all of this in the fall was my first clue for just how fed up I really was. Obviously, the pressure of the New Year was weighing on me if I was considering these things while the leaves were still orange. It had to be different this time. Pondering this so early in 2018 was the start of some major habitual renovation.
These uphill hopes were about to turn into uphill habits!
I've been up and down in my weight since I was a teenager. I'm tall man by design so the extra pounds have been easier for me to hide than it is for others, but as I grow older, I also grow tired of hiding my secret sin, and so does my body. My secret sin makes it's way to a more evident surface year after year. I've battled profusely with binge eating, and though technically undiagnosed, it doesn't take a doctor's note for a monster like this to technically wreck your life. This usually partners itself with depression or emotionally-charged void-filling, often triggered by perceived rejection and areas of my life that I've let fear prevail. It was not uncommon for me to lock myself in my bedroom for days, surrounded by my favorite foods, leaving only to use the bathroom or go to work. Even then, I so looked forward to having a few days off in a row so I could curl back up into my shell and commit to nothing other than my own downhill slope.
But looking at it now, from a much healthier place, it has disguised itself with many masks over the years. It's lead to social anxieties and stagnant vision in life, it's convinced me to stay home alone instead of building relationships, and it's caused me to kill my dreams and settle for a life of mediocrity. Most of all- it has slowly destroyed my body in such a way that I became too embarrassed to be anywhere that my little world might come unraveled and be exposed.
I partnered with the enemy to build my soul a cage of shame! Bondage.
In case it isn't clear to you, my poor relationship with food has hindered me from believing in and grabbing a hold of God's best for my life. I have missed a thousand beautiful opportunities. So let me tell you that everything changed when I recognized that these missed opportunities, this missed life, wasn't just a result of my affair with food. Because truly, if it were caused by food, I would still continue in my patterns but only hate myself more for eating! How sick is that?
This is not about food at all, and no, it's not even about emotion.
It's about habits.
My hope for the future was not matching up with my habits.
My habit was to respond to my everyday life, emotion, and flesh by numbing it with food, and because that wasn't enough (it would never be enough), I'd need more food to fill the void that trying to fill my soul with food would leave. It's twisted, and though I didn't have this series of talks to help me navigate through the beginning stages of this change in my life, they're here now to help propel forward a work that the Lord has already started.
3 Things you need to HACK YOUR HABITS:
Hope for the future
There is always a promised, brighter future ahead.
Leave some things behind
You can't move into tomorrow while carrying baggage from yesterday.
Build new habits
Self-explanatory, yeah?
HACK #1: Focus On What I Do First!
Who or what is first in my life? Food? Jesus? I've had to work lovingly to dethrone what Pastor Jentezen Franklin refers to as "King Stomach." (His book, Fasting, is a great resource for those joining us in these 21 days of prayer and fasting at My City)
If God is not first place in your life, He is not the Lord of your life.
Put God First.
Give God the first of everything.
Give God the first part of your year.
If you're having trouble figuring out where your loyalty lies, check your bank statement. It's a foolproof way to find out exactly what it is that you worship. It was not uncommon for me to spend more than 30 dollars a day on my binging. As a courtesy, I'll do the math for you: that adds up to over $10,000 dollars a year. Is it a wonder that this thing was controlling my life in more ways than one?
As each day passes, it's a choice for me to let His light shine in the shadows of all the areas I left Him out of for the last ten years. I started this year by breaking my habit of making and breaking New Years resolutions. My ways weren't working.
In putting Him first, on His timeline out of my control, I have seen fruit and provision and victory. This not only means giving him the first part of my day, but giving Him the first opportunity to console me when I feel desperate; the first chance at holding me closely when I feel like I'm falling apart, and the first and only voice I listen to when He tells me how loved I am.
Focus on what you do… first.
Romans 12 The Message (MSG)
Place Your Life Before God
12 1-2 So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.

Vincent thinks that despite all the hype around 4G, it won't take off this year, whilst consumers may ditch smartphones in favour of tablets
"The year will start with the 4G auctions, perhaps the launch pad to kick start a new phase in the economy, but for all the talk of 4G (and there has already been enough), I do not see 2013 as the year it takes off.
"What will be interesting will be to see the impact that the growth in tablet sales will have on the handset market. It might be the year when availability of portable tablets encourages a small but growing number of customers to ditch the smartphone. Perhaps there will be a resurgence of uber-long battery life talk and text machines to compliment that all-singing, all-dancing tablet.
"Mobile as a real solution to the country's healthcare issues will be a big ticket agenda item in 2013. As the population continues to age, the issue of how we look after growing number of elderly people will move up the political agenda and mobile needs to deliver an integrated answer.
"I also expect to see apps moving into more niche and specific areas: healthcare; business; construction. The next generation of app makers will follow the money and build business enhancing solutions."

A woman reportedly lost control of her car during Monday's solar eclipse in Kentucky — crashing into a crowd of people who were watching the spectacle, leaving one person dead.
Alyssa Noble, 38, was driving through the town of Hayden, Ky. when she suddenly swerved into a telephone poll and plowed into two women who were watching the eclipse, according to WLKY-TV.
One woman was pronounced dead at the scene while the second was flown to the University of Kentucky Medical Center, the network said.
It was not clear whether Noble was attempting to view the eclipse when she crashed.

When a car breaks down, your heart skips a beat. You have to pull over and try to find someone who can repair your car. Which mechanic do you choose? Use the tips described to help you find the right mechanic.
Keep an eye on your radiator levels. Let the car idle for a short period first, but only long enough to let the fluid circulate. Be careful not to open your radiator if the car's running. Use a dipstick to gauge how much radiator fluid you have, keeping in mind that most types need to be diluted with water.
Before allowing an auto shop to do repairs to your vehicle, ensure you are aware of the total cost. If something is unclear, have the mechanic or service counter rep clarify it for you before any work is done on the car. You don't want any unpleasant surprises when you get your bill.
Ask your mechanic is he is familiar with working on your car. If yes, then you can trust them with your car.
Be on the lookout for clear indications that a mechanic is not the right one for the job. If you're receiving double-talk when you ask them a question, they are probably not the mechanic for you. It is important that you establish trust with the person who is going to fix your vehicle.
Make a DIY kit to store in the trunk to help you in times of need. Your car came with equipment needed for changing a tire. You will need to get a lug wrench and a jack if you don't already have them. You should also have good quality Phillips head and flat head screwdrivers, socket wrenches and a ratchet set, a torque wrench and an adjustable wrench. You should not have cheap tools. Purchase solid tools that are resistant to breakage.
It can be hard to choose the best auto repair service. The process is simplified, though, once you have a bit of know-how. You will have an advantage if you know all the questions you should ask and what to look for in a repair shop. Keep the advice from this article in mind the next time you have car trouble.

Many people were mad about the results in the American League Cy Young Voting on Wednesday, perhaps no one more than Kate Upton, the fiancée of runner-up Justin Verlander. It's difficult to say what was most upsetting to people, but the field in the AL was ridiculously tight so there was always a good chance someone was going to be angry.
If you had Buster Olney of ESPN being the most upset in the wake of Rick Porcello's victory in the anger pool, good for you, because that's one I did not see coming.
Olney penned a scattershot column about why baseball media people voting on baseball media awards is bad. It seems to be about a conflict of interest, but it's also about reporters making themselves the story or creating the news, but it's also about the vote itself, and it's also about, "Hey, these bad voters make me look bad."

Dissociation and Borderline Personality Disorder.
Dissociation is an unexpected partial or complete disruption
of the normal integration of a person's conscious or psychological
functioning that cannot be easily explained by the person. Dissociation
is a mental process that severs a connection to a person's thoughts,
memories, feelings, actions, or sense of identity. Dissociation is a response to trauma, and allows the mind to
distance itself from experiences that are too much for the psyche to
process at that time. Dissociative disruptions can affect any aspect of a person's functioning.
Since dissociations are normally unanticipated, they are typically
experienced by others as startling, autonomous intrusions into the person's usual
ways of responding or functioning. Due to their unexpected and largely
inexplicable nature, they tend to be quite unsettling. Dissociation is
often a coping mechanism for survivors of trauma. Depersonalization disorder is sometimes triggered by trauma, but may be preceded by only stress, a bad drug experience, or no identifiable stress at all.
Dissociation can be associated with borderline personality disorder: disturbances in and uncertainty about self-image, aims, and internal preferences (including sexual); liability to become involved in intense and unstable relationships, often leading to emotional crisis; excessive efforts to avoid abandonment; recurrent threats or acts of self-harm; and chronic feelings of emptiness.
Numerous studies have shown a strong correlation between child abuse, especially child sexual abuse, and development of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Many individuals with BPD report having had a history of abuse, neglect, or separation as young children. Patients with BPD have been found to be significantly more likely to report having been verbally, emotionally, physically, and sexually abused by caregivers. They were also much more likely to report having caregivers (of both genders) deny the validity of their thoughts and feelings. They were also reported to have failed to provide needed protection, and neglected their child's physical care. Parents (of both sexes) were typically reported to have withdrawn from the child emotionally, and to have treated the child inconsistently.It has been suggested that children who experience chronic early maltreatment and attachment difficulties may go on to develop borderline personality disorder.
Psychological "Splitting"
If a person fails to accomplish this developmental task, borderline pathology can develop. The borderline personality is not able to integrate the good and bad images of both self and others. People who suffer from borderline personality disorder have a 'bad representation' which dominates the 'good representation of themselves. This makes them experience love and sexuality in perverse and violent
qualities which they cannot integrate with the tender, intimate side of
relationships. These people can suffer from intense fusion anxieties
in intimate relationships, because the boundaries between self and
other are not firm.
A tender moment between self and other could mean the disappearance of the self into the other. This triggers intense anxiety. To overcome the anxiety, the other is made into a very bad person; this can be done, because the other is made responsible for this anxiety. However, if the other is viewed as a bad person, the self must be bad as well. Viewing the self as all bad cannot be endured, so the switch is made to the other side: the self is good, which means the other must be good too. If the other is all good and the self is all good, where does the self begin and end? Intense anxiety is the result and so the cycle repeats itself.
Splitting creates instability in relationships, because one person can be viewed as either all good or all bad at different times, depending on whether he or she gratifies needs or frustrates them. This, and similar oscillations in the experience of the self, lead to chaotic and unstable relationship patterns, identity diffusion and mood swings. Consequently, the therapeutic process can be greatly impeded by these oscillations, because the therapist too can become victim of splitting.

In this week's parsha, when Moshe calls for those who are with Hashem to kill all of those who participated in worship of the golden calf, only the tribe of Levi approaches)לב:כו( . Presumably, Moshe expects that the other eleven tribes will be killed, indicating a clear separation between those who stray from Hashem and those who are with Him one hundred percent. What does happen, though, is that only one tribe (Levi) comes to Moshe, yet only three thousand of Bnei Yisrael are killed. What about the rest of Bnei Yisrael? Apparently, most of them are not sure where they stand in terms of accepting Hashem as God. They couldn't seem to decide between Hashem and (lehavdil!)
the golden calf, being skeptical enough of the golden calf that they will have no part in it, but not being confident enough in Hashem to obey Moshe's directive to kill those who did participate in the sin.
The Netziv interprets this event differently. He points out that most of our nation did not worship the golden calf (witness the fact that only three thousand people were killed for worshipping the golden calf). The rest of them were not unsure of their beliefs; they were basically dedicated to Hashem. However, they were not totally perfect. Moshe asked for the assistqance of those who were totally dedicated to God. Only persons entirely dedicated to God would merit divine protection in their battle against those who worshipped the golden calf.

Pollard Pushes Tech for American Dream
Community leader and immigrant hopes to change face of politics in community and congress.
Andre Pollard represents the American dream: An immigrant who came from English-speaking Guyana at age 10, he has a solid career as a tech professional working in the cloud in development operations, owns a home in Milton, and has a hairdresser wife and four children.
He tries to give back to the community through involvement in groups that support tech startups and app developers, and he teaches free Saturday classes to anyone who wants to learn computer coding with Ruby on Rails.
Now he's running for Congress in the special election April 18 to replace Tom Price in the 6th District.

"I am District 6. I am everyone in District 6," Pollard said. "I live in District 6. I'm a homeowner. I live in a community. I've got teenage daughters. I've got a 4-year-old in pre-K, Georgia pre-K; thank goodness, it's free. I've got a 1½-year-old toddler running around the house."
Like other nonpoliticians in the race, Pollard said life is good for him, but he felt compelled to address problems holding back others in America.
"It became more and more difficult watching TV and yelling at the TV. I just felt so helpless," Pollard said about the start of the Trump administration. "The whole American brand just got devalued in less than a month."
When Price resigned to become health and human services secretary, Pollard saw his opportunity.
But he chose to run outside the two-party system, something made easier by the one-primary system used in the special election, with all candidates on one ballot.
"A lot of our problems is the segregation of Republican and Democrat," Pollard said, because elected officials listen to their parties instead of their constituents.
He instead launched his own party, the Tech Party, of which he is the only candidate. As the name indicates, the focus is on expanding the integration of technology into society, following the lead of companies such as Facebook and Google that took stands against President Donald Trump's proposed restrictions on immigration.
Pollard wants to see more women, more minorities, more inner-city youths, more welfare recipients and more people from outdated industries find positions in the tech industry. For example, instead of trying to regain lost jobs in coal mining, Pollard would like to see people in coal communities trained to design, build, operate and repair robots to take on dangerous mining work.
"We're definitely going to be turning it up a notch in technology with everything we do," he said.
Pollard grew up on Long Island and worked his way through community college before finishing a mechanical engineering degree at SUNY-Buffalo.
As an example of an immigrant succeeding through hard work, he takes it personally when he sees the American dream under attack.
Pollard moved to Georgia from New York for a contract with AT&T as a Microsoft Exchange consultant. He then moved to Florida but came back when AT&T hired him as a technical account manager. He has lived in Milton for 14 years.
He sees many of the hot political issues through a tech-industry perspective.
He knows job opportunities exist if people can get the right training because the tech industry must issue so many H-1B visas to bring in foreign workers to fill open positions. Many such workers live just north of the 6th District in Cumming, he said.
He supports a path to citizenship for longtime illegal immigrants, but he also said it's important for immigrants to commit to integrating into society.
He doesn't want to repeal the Affordable Care Act, but he knows the law needs to be changed to address health care affordability because his premiums went up 20 percent. But if elected officials would focus on issues instead of the politics, he said, solutions could be found because there are so many areas of agreement, such as allowing interstate competition for insurers and covering existing conditions.
He supports military aid to Israel, and he's hopeful that the Israelis and Palestinians soon will grow weary of conflict and accept that it's time to coexist.
Such is the optimism of a candidate who knows he's a long shot in an 18-candidate field. "I'm a great tennis player," he said. "I'll challenge anyone, including Serena Williams."

What Israelis Face as 2016 Winds Down
Guest Column by David Geffen
I woke up Thursday, Dec. 8, to find out that Israel had fired missiles at a military airport near Damascus, Syria. The week before, the first Israeli missiles were fired on the same target, with that information being a secret.
Avigdor Liberman, the defense minister, said the strikes were focused on Hezbollah. A veteran Israeli like myself wonders whether a war on our northern border is imminent.
A fascinating revelation was based on the results of a survey taken by the Israel Democracy Institute. This is a body that is respected and is known to be quite honest in its collection and analysis of data.
The IDI found that 48 percent of Israeli Jews think that leftists are either "not so loyal" or "not loyal at all" to the state. Almost 55 percent of the Israelis polled said they "strongly agree" or "moderately agree" that voicing criticism of the state at times of tense security situations is "unacceptable."
The question of leftist loyalty is quite odd because 65 percent of Israel Defense Forces soldiers are not from the West Bank and not religious. We call them "good Israelis" and value their full commitment to Israeli society.
Participating in the survey were a representative sample of 500 Jews and 100 Arabs.
Also according to the survey, 40 percent of Israelis favor annexing the West Bank.
The most exciting news is that there will be funds from outside the country to assist Reform and Conservative rabbis in this country.
"If the state of Israel won't pay the salaries of certain denominations, then we will," said a family from Livingston, N.J., Bill and Amy Lipsey and their daughter, Sarah, who want to provide a living wage to rabbis who are not eligible for state funding — a group that includes the vast majority of Reform and Conservative rabbis and liberal Orthodox rabbis today.
The Lipseys believe that they can help build and nurture alternative religious communities in Israel and thereby "push back against the dominance of Orthodoxy."
Bill Lipsey established the Honey Foundation several years ago after living in Israel for a year. He learned how nearsighted was the population of Israel: Jewish citizens are Orthodox or are secular.
He has put several million dollars of his own money into the foundation, which already supports 30 Conservative rabbis and eight liberal Orthodox rabbis in Israel.
"Our stipend is meant to support not more than half of their salaries, but ideally we'd like it to be no more than a quarter," Lipsey said. "This extra cushion is meant to help these rabbis remain fully committed to their congregational work and not have to moonlight to get through the month."
The Jewish Federations of North America are fighting for Kotel rights for Conservative and Reform Jews and for women, and a foundation like the one created by Lipsey is a grassroots project helping on the local level. I believe that Federations should give this project their full support. I hope they know about it.
Lastly, Israel has budgeted $36 million of taxpayer money to finance a four-year program for Jewish Israel educational programs in the Diaspora.
Two of the three groups that will do the work are part of the Chabad movement. Some Israelis believe that they can save world Jewry, and the government is letting them do it.

ABP Derived Products - Market Conditions Update/
FABRA UK represents more than 90% of the UK animal by product processing industry and engage and negotiate with key industry groups and other interested parties.
On behalf of our members we are alerting our key stakeholders of major movements in the European market for processed animal protein (PPAP) and tallow:
Our members and our colleagues at the European Fat Processors & Rendering Association (EFPRA) have advised us that there is currently no European export market for PAP due to trading conditions in many of the Asian markets. Substantial stock piles of PAP are already accumulating as there is insufficient demand for this material in Europe to meet supply. Consequently, there has been a significant fall in PAP prices in recent weeks which is seriously impacting on the UK market for this commodity.
To compound this issue, we have also seen a sizeable reduction in the value of tallow, partly because of the EU reducing import duties for tallow from certain Countries.
We are alerting our meat industry stakeholders of these changing market conditions to give them advanced warning that our members may be forced to review their pricing strategies for animal by product raw material. This is an industry wide issue and is not limited to individual animal by product processors.
We ask our stakeholders to pass on this information to their colleagues and members in their relevant sectors. Whilst these uncertain market conditions prevail FABRA UK may issue further bulletins and updates. Please check the News section of our website for further updates.

Day 34: Mark Douangchanh, Vice-Principal (Port Guichon Elementary)
Walk to School Week and Run for Diabetes
Millions of kids around the world deal with diabetes, needles and insulin pumps. For many of these kids they had no choice in the matter and diabetes didn't happen because they did something bad or made a wrong choice in life.
We asked ourselves at Port Guichon if there was anything we can do to help. We saw one of our own students deal with the hardships of diabetes everyday and we wanted to do something.
The idea was simple. Let's commit to walking to school for a whole week and collect pledges on behalf of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
For some of our kids, walking to school everyday can be more difficult than one might think. I wanted to encourage our kids to participate and I needed a way to get them enthused about "Walk to School Week". I then realized that If I was asking the kids to get to school by foot then I would be a hypocrite if I didn't do the same.
The only problem was that mu house was in Cloverdale and Port Guichon was 32.21 km away in Ladner.
We decided to have a "Run for Diabetes" Day on Oct 24 in the middle of "Walk to School Week" and I would run the 32 km from my house to the school. As a former type 2 diabetic, I knew how lucky I was to be able to get rid of diabetes through healthy food choices and exercise. I knew that unfortunately, kids with type 1 diabetes would not be as lucky unless there was a cure. Finding a cure may seem like an enormous task, but I knew we needed to start somewhere.
I took my first steps at 6:15 am that morning and made my way down 64th avenue towards Delta. I was shooting to arrive at school by 10:00 am and paid extra attention to my pacing because our Principal, Mr. Thompson was gathering the kids in the gym in orders to greet me. I did not want them to have to wait any longer than needed.
The rain held off until about 19 km in and I felt strong till about the 28 km mark. I would say that I didn't feel fatigued until the last 4 kilometers. Fortunately by then Const. Doolan and Const. Atkinson met up with me and acted as my official police escorts and provided some much needed motivation. Several parents also drove out on the route to give me car honks words of encouragement.
As I entered the gym, I was greeted by a reception that would make any Rock Star jealous. It warmed my heart to see and hear the reaction of all our kids in the gym. I saw a sea of posters with words of encouragement for me and I was literally overwhelmed. We proudly presented a cheque of nearly $2000.00 to the JDRF and more donations are still coming in as I write this.
There's a soft spot in my heart for the old saying: "a journey of thousand miles begins with one step". I am proud of the students and staff at Port Guichon for their hard work. Hopefully they feel just as strongly as I do and feel that we have taken some powerful steps together in the effort of finding a cure for diabetes.
Mark Douangchanh is a vice-principal at Port Guichon Elementary in Ladner, BC. He can be found on twitter at @MarkDouangchanh
October 26, 2012 5:17 am
Congratulations on your inspiring project, Mark! I'm sure your students learned much about courage and commitment. Wow!
October 26, 2012 5:33 am
Congratulations Mark! You are truly an inspiration to all of us!
Tami permalinkOctober 30, 2012 4:32 am
You probably made more of an impact than you will ever know. Congratulations!

This question is at the heart of the Mi365 message and Pete begins by reading a short excerpt from the famous Nelson Mandela inaugural speech to get us to think about our greatest fears and strengths. Pete discusses the varying levels of self-talk which play a crucial role in our perception of ourselves and describes how the highest level - feelings of connectivity to others and the universe around us helps us to create a better version of ourselves.

March 2012 | Leadership
German software company SAP is in the business of helping other organizations measure progress and achieve their sustainability goals. But it also practices what it preaches: for the fifth consecutive year, SAP has increased its carbon efficiency, and is on track to achieve its target of reducing emissions to year-2000 levels by 2020. SAP's sustainability initiatives aren't just good for the environment and the company's image, though; they've led to a cumulative cost avoidance of EUR190 million since 2008 and EUR25 million alone in 2011.
"More organizations understand that sustainability isn't a trend," notes Eric Orts, legal studies professor and director of Wharton's Initiative for Global Environmental Leadership (IGEL). "It's not just about following laws or working with environmental groups. Sustainability is now being integrated across the organization; it's an important part of growth strategies. Businesses get it now. They know they need to be at the forefront."
Orts stresses that these efforts to make sustainability a central strategy require leadership. "Many sustainability programs are being led by people from marketing, finance, or operations. Because this is a relatively new function, developing best practices and accumulating knowledge are a challenge. Wharton created the Business Sustainability Leadership program to help them get up to speed and broaden their understanding of the real business issues involved with sustainability. As more companies realize that this is a major competitive issue, they're looking for leaders to drive their efforts.
"Leaders have always needed to be visionaries, but with sustainability, it's a critical skill. Some people are reticent to even think about water and land scarcity, population growth, and climate change. But these issues are already affecting businesses around the globe. We're teaching scenario planning and scenario thinking to get leaders to anticipate the challenges they'll have to face — and when. It's much cheaper to plan for them now."
But building visionary capacity is just one piece of the skills-based program. Orts notes that sustainability leaders must know how to develop a business case for their efforts, how to drive the sustainability mindset through their organizations, and how to perform quantitative analyses. "Since there are few meaningful external requirements, how do you know what measures to take, and then manage what you measure? You need to know how to set benchmarks and understand the metrics available to assess your efforts.
"Corporate diplomacy is also a key skill," Orts adds. "You're going to be in the position of selling sustainability initiatives to your C-suite executives and your stakeholders. Business Sustainability Leadership will help you build those skills with Wharton faculty, experts in the field, and fellow sustainability leaders. Your participation in the program will not only include classroom learning, discussion, and team exercises, but will help you develop a global peer group from diverse industries. We're focusing on the education, but it's your new network that will help you leverage insights from the program well into the future."

"Reflections of Goddesses," a retrospective exploring more than 50 years of painting by Eleanor Merritt, caps a season of celebrating women artists at the Houston Museum of African American Culture.
Merritt, who lives in Florida, is a longtime advocate for African-American and women artists. She visited recently for the opening of the exhibit, which features works from 1957 to 2012. Merritt's early paintings include serene, monochromatic oils. They're quite a contrast to her busy, many-layered later works.
Some artists hang onto every canvas they've ever painted. Not Merritt. Proof of a spirit always moving forward, she often cuts up old paintings to incorporate in current works.

Seek to Understand.
Skepticism is healthy if it is utilized as a means to gain clarity. All too often, however, skepticism becomes cynicism; it is often wielded as a weapon to fend off all that dare to challenge our beliefs and intellect. If one wished to attain wisdom, one must consider the balance that lies between judicious inquiry and belittling judgment. Instead of focusing on all that is NOT inherent in one's view, consider the possibility that it may illicit. There is value in all opinions if you choose to allow it.
Pay attention to the voice of criticism that you carry with you today. Is it being utilized to stretch your insights and nourish your wisdom? Is it feeding your ego so that you may feel superior to those around you by minimizing their intelligence? If you find that you are using your intellect as a means of elevating your ego, ask yourself how this truly serves you in your intentions. Is it a waste of energy that feeds an embedded insecurity?
Success or sabotage? For the next week (certainly for today), practice listening. When someone shares their views and opinions, listen and respond with what you heard (as an attempt to gain understanding). Refrain from sharing your views/opinions. How does it feel to listen without educating, criticizing, debating or even agreeing?
Is this going to be an incredible day? Doubt the power of fate and invest in the power that you have to choose. This day was created in large part for you.

The chances are that at one time in your life, you've sat down to play a friendly game of Monopoly with friends or family. Some of the most popular memories may come from bankrupting one another or offering trades back and forth for the potential of gaining control of a portion of the board. Nowadays, the board game is tucked away in the back of one's closet, only to be brought out during the holidays. For those wanting to experience a game like Monopoly, they may find themselves looking to one of the games on a modern game console or computer platform. That's when many players come across games like Rento Fortune: Monolit Tycoon, which from an outside perspective looks to be a more generic version of the game they've come to know. Can a clone of the original game still offer the same experience as the original?
Rento Fortune: Monolit Tycoon is exactly what you'd expect it to be. The game board is shaped exactly the same as a Monopoly board with various colors to represent the different properties. For this board, you'll quickly notice that the colors of the properties have been shuffled around. Some of the spacing between properties still remains relatively the same while a few others have been moved closer together. Missing from the board altogether are the utilities. Community Chest and Chance still exist in the forms of a treasure chest and a 4-leaf clover. Added to the board are wheel spaces that when landed on, force you to spin for the potential of winning or losing money or properties and even potentially being forced to go to a certain space. One property, in particular, requires all players to bid amongst each other to take ownership of it.
What I liked:
New Cards – The changes to community chest and chance don't only come from the appearance of the icons themselves. While players will see an abundance of card ideas that are recognizable from the classic Monopoly, some new additions help the system to feel more unique. One potential card instructs that a tornado has appeared and allows a player to remove a house off of another player's property. This can be helpful early on if a player just built up houses. If a hotel is present, this simply downgrades the hotel back down to having 4 houses on the property. It really doesn't benefit much if the player affected has a large sum of money to simply upgrade the property again, but it can still be effective if used in the right manner. One other new addition is a card that allows you to not pay rent for a single property during one turn. The catch is that the card must be used before you roll. That means if you use the card and roll, there's a large chance you can avoid having to pay someone a large sum of money or "waste it completely" by rolling a number large enough to avoid an enemy player's property altogether.
Train Travel – The four middle spaces on each side of the board are still the railroad properties you may have come to know and love. These properties act relatively the same as they do in Monopoly, only this time they offer an additional perk. First, you must own more than one railroad property. When you land on a railroad, you have the choice to travel to one of the other railroad properties you own. This can be really useful if you just pass go, as you can use the railroad to quickly travel all the way around the board to the 4th railroad property, for another quick $200. For balance, traveling from any of the other railroads over to the 1st does not count as you passing go, and will not allow you to collect $200.
What I didn't:
Trading with Bots – Unless you have a friend who's also bought the game, you'll find yourself playing against bots offline, as presently there is nobody playing online. One of the most infuriating concepts in the game comes from trying to initiate a trade with a bot. Depending on the property, bots seem to be programmed to refuse trade of certain properties. In one instance, two railroads were already owned, and a bot held the other two. Initiating trade with the bot and offering $1000 for both railroads resulted in the bot declining. Upping the ante and offering $2500 for both railroads also resulted in the bot declining. Various other offers were made, which eventually reached the point when I was offering to trade the two most expensive properties on the board and $5000 cash for their two railroads (both worth $400 max), and the bot still refused the trade. It all depends on the property you are trying to inherit. If you're after any of the railroads, one of the two most expensive properties, or a few select other properties, the bots will simply reject all trades.
User Interface – It's clear from the interface that the game was originally meant for the mobile platform. One thing you will quickly notice is how poorly everything is laid out. Depending on the number of properties you own, trying to complete a trade with another player can be frustrating as you cannot scroll up or down between your properties. So, unless the property is in the center row, It leaves you guessing what property you have selected on the top or bottom rows. Two buttons in the top right corner are used for the menu or for leaving the game. If you aren't careful, you will press one button intending to back out of a menu only to find you have almost incidentally quit the game. Everything seems so squished together. Trying to raise an opponent's cash trade with the right stick doesn't work entirely. The whole thing is a convoluted mess.
Playability Issues – Lots of times on various occasions the game would seem to hang. You can still hear the music playing, and you can press different buttons to do different tasks, but the game fails to proceed. If you try to purchase a property not realizing that you do not have enough funds, the game will come to a halt. There are various other times the game would simply refuse to continue for reasons unexplained. This can be frustrating if you're doing well in a game only for the game to stop working as intended and leave you stuck.
The Overall – There are a few other strange aspects of the game worth noting and some are more noticeable than others. The moment you start the tutorial, you'll find yourself greeted by a cartoon version of Kim Jung Un who is clearly meant to represent the Monopoly Man. It's not explained why he was the chosen icon of the game, especially since North Korea isn't a property in the game. Speaking of properties, once you get to the board itself you'll quickly notice the odd positioning of the different properties. Every property is either a country, a city or a monument. The least expensive include Libya and Sudan, while the most expensive include Dubai and Hawaii. Other countries include Finland, Norway, and Ukraine just to name a few. A quick search will show that Finland and Norway alone would be better choices for the most expensive countries on the board. It really leaves you to question how exactly the positions of the properties were selected. Only one property on the board does not represent a country, and that is the Vatican, which also happens to be the only property on the board that requires players to bid on for ownership. There are a few different board themes you can select from, all of which however still include the same property names. It's questionable why you'd want to play on Halloween or winter themed boards with properties still resembling those of countries. The game does have a few different character pieces for you to select between and a few different colored dice to choose from. Computer players, however, will still always represent a different colored pawn piece and use the white dice.
Local Multiplayer Woes – Rento Fortune: Monolit Tycoon does offer the ability to play the game in local multiplayer on the same console. The issue here is that the game does not support the use of separate controllers while playing locally. This means that if you're planning to play with family or friends on the same console, you are constantly required to pass the controller between turns. This begins to get repetitive around the time that you are required to auction on a property. Every time a player goes to further advance their bid, they are required to take the controller and apply their bid. Even trades feel wonky with the use of only one controller between two players.
Bot Difficulty – The overall difficulty of a "hard" bot is laughable. Bots will almost always refuse trades if they own multiple properties of one color or if you're wanting a railroad. If you own two of one color property and a bot has the third, asking for the property and offering at least double the normal value will result in them accepting and pushing them closer to their inevitable end. At the end of one match, 75% of the board was held by the player owning the top, right and bottom portions of the board's properties, and the other 25% was held by the bot on the left side. All this was accomplished by manipulating the bot into trading off properties they did not have multiples of. The bots can be manipulated in other ways as well to further your success.
Unlimited Houses? – There comes a time in every Monopoly match where eventually the banker runs out of houses and hotels to place on properties. It's at this point a player must wait until another player goes bankrupt or is forced to remove them before that player can purchase any. In Rento Fortune: A Monolit Tycoon, there doesn't appear to be a limit to the amount of houses or hotels that can be placed on properties. At one point during a 6-player game against 5 hard bots, every property on the board had the equal of 4 houses applied to them. The standard game of Monopoly includes 32 houses and 12 hotels. This would indicate that the amount of houses in Rento Fortune are infinite as there are a total of 23 total properties eligible to build houses and hotels. Unlimited hotels are unknown.
Quite simply, Rento Fortune: Monolit Tycoon is not worth the $9.99 asking price. Not only does the game seem as if it were meant for a mobile platform, there are no players playing online presently and playing against bots can become quite a nuisance when you find they'll work together to gain properties, but outright refuse to trade with the player. Compared to Monopoly Plus, which is presently on the Xbox Live Store for $14.99, the $5.00 difference in asking price offers you a more genuine experience to the original board game with a 3D city to play around with. There are even optional additions for Monopoly Plus that can be purchased separately, such as different themed boards with an added animated token. The My Monopoly add-on that allows you the ability to customize the classic or 3D boards by naming your own spaces while adding 2D images to the space or 3D elements to the center of the board. This add-on truly helps to make a board creation your own. As for Rento Fortune: Monolit Tycoon, it's best to spend your fortune elsewhere.
Score: No Appeal
Rento Fortune: Monolit Tycoon was developed and produced by LAN – GAMES EOOD. The game released on June 1, 2018, for $9.99. A copy was provided for review purposes.

Need a fresh look for your holiday decorating this year? Clear the tabletops and mantel, and start by using the best resource there is – nature and what you already own.
Pine, White Pine, Hemlock, boxwood or holly branches from your yard make for a realistic and fragrant base for your mantel-scape; ornaments and beaded garland that usually end up on the tree, can be used to add sparkle, texture and depth to the greenery. On my mantel, I cut White Pine branches from the trees in my yard, and layered in starfish ornaments to not only reinforce the nature theme, but to make a connection to the "marsh" themed art over the mantel. That silver footed dish is from the dining room.
There's a treasure trove in your bookcases: take the book jackets off, and look for colors that will work with your color scheme this year. Tie them together with burlap, ribbon or twine, and you have a new decoration to add to your collection. Or easel a special holiday book – it's like a little piece of art when the title is sweet.
Cake or footed plates remain one of the most versatile ways of displaying and elevating your treasured ornaments, holiday collections, greenery, garlands, or figurines. Don't have a cake plate? Create one by placing a plate on top of a glass. Temporarily attach the plate to the glass using poster putty or museum wax.
Everything looks prettier under glass. Cloche's are the perfect way to show off special holiday décor. I have an especially large cloche I scored at a consignment store, so I had room to use books to elevate a vintage bottle brush tree from my childhood…thanks Mom.
Candlesticks – skip the candles and place something else on top like ornaments, a small music box, a little tree, anything that will fit and make you smile.
Last but not least, use framed photos of holidays past to go down memory lane with family and friends. They are so personal, and an incredibly meaningful holiday decoration that no one else will have.

Just Like Home
Just like your home reflects your personality and style, so does your campsite and RV. It's relaxing and comforting to personalize your campsite and RV with home decor, pictures, pillows, etc. Whether you camp from time to time or live in your RV year round, there are so many ways to bring a little bit of home with you.
Depending on the size of your RV, you can purchase some comfortable furniture to update the look, or do something easy and more cost friendly like putting up curtains, pictures, getting a new comforter or throw pillows to add some color and comfort to the RV. One easy way to relax in your RV is to make sure it's clean and that there's no clutter.
Have you ever considered an awning? Those are great ways to add to your RV, creating an outside area that is covered and perfect for setting up some chairs. Awnings are also great for adding a little light – just string up some Christmas lights on the awning. Use DIY ideas to personalize the lights, like this patio lights idea, http://craftybutt.blogspot.com/2011/08/diy-patio-lights.html.
Gardening is something that many enjoy, but if you're traveling in your RV a lot, it's harder to enjoy that hobby. Try ideas like the Topsy Turvy Planters that are easy to maintain and lighter in weight than huge planters that you would move in and out of your RV.
Cooking is a great way to bring home with you while you're camping. If you cook a lot, make sure to bring those pots and pans you may use often. Using real silverware and plates definitely brings a homier feel to the meal, but if you don't want to worry about the extra cleanup, try silverware that's plastic but looks real, like http://www.amazon.com/Reflections-Heavyweight-Silver-Disposable-Flatware/dp/B000JHGQKW.
How do you make your RV feel more like home?
