Note to selfPosted by Unknown at 22:31
This post is mainly just for me. In case I ever thought about more kids.
Don't Do it.
Please excuse this little pity party for myself. Yes, I am a whinny little girl.
Today I just couldn't go on. I wouldn't have wanted to be around me and I like me. I was a grouch. I was over tired, sweating and shivering uncontrollably and trying not to cough on anyone. I was pacing around the house with Reagan in my arms, (she would burst into tears every time I set her down) trying to remember why I came into this particular room, wondering which twin was screaming , trying to remember when was the last time I took something to bring my fever down. (Pause here to get vomited on by Madison) When Kari got home I took some flu remedy that she picked up and that really made me crash. Kari has been so worn out that I feel guilty trying to catch a nap when the big girls are up. However, at seven p.m. I could go no further and left her down stairs with at least three of the kids crying. I slept pretty good for about an hour, until Rylee came in to "check" on me. At 10 p.m. Kari crashed and kicked me out of bed.
We have really hit a new low. Physically and mentally. Kari got some pills to help her heart, so hopefully we are now on an up swing. I have been fighting off some sort of illness for the last couple of days and today I hit the "I just can't do it anymore" point. I'm not sure what I have and I hope that I don't pass it on to anyone else. It feels flu like, constant low fever, chills, dizziness, hot flashes, head ache, nausea, weakness and a cough that will not allow more than a few minutes of sleep. Kari has not been much better off. She has had constant crushing pain in her chest and occasionally very sharp pain that takes her breath away, no energy and we all have short tempers.
I had been trying to stay up continuously through the 2 a.m. feeding. Last night I tried to sleep between feedings and it didn't work out very well. I think that those little rascals can tell when you close your eyes.
We are a little concerned with the difficulty that both girls, especially Madison, are having with bowel movements. They should have one per day. We are going on day 3 with nothing from Madison and only a little from Jordan. We gave them suppositories last night and that helped Jordan a bit, but Madison is still having trouble. I guess that would make anyone a little grumpy.
Rylee continues to be mischievous. She got Jordan's Potassium off the counter and since I left the top off with the syringe sticking in the bottle, she proceeded to dump the entire bottle on the floor. I think that little bottle was about $100 and we are not sure if the insurance will cover another. I guess we shall see. Kudos to her though for trying to clean it up using one of mom's good towels. I think the ty-dye look is coming back though. Bright orange on white looks quite nice I think.
I don't know why I am typing this when the floor needs to be vacuumed (still dealing with flea infestation) dishes need to be done, trash emptied, bottles washed, yard mowed, pool cleaned, ect. Except this takes less energy.
I have about 35 minutes till I have to start warming bottles, should I try to sleep or not? That is the question.

As far as an Orc is concerned, might is right. He who hits hardest laughs longest, and all of their leaders have had to fight their way into their positions of power. A good Orc chief might last a decade or more, before age, infirmity or old wounds weaken him, and then he will be bested in combat by another Orc and replaced, his body devoured at his vanquisher's victory feast.

Nice addition to the orc range, but not as nice as the Krudger on the boar. Still, it's worth habing and quite nice to paint. Lots of detail to work with.

Potential homebuyers are being pressured by estate agents to use their in-house mortgage and conveyancing teams, leaving some able only to access advisers with restricted lender panels.
An investigation by Money Marketing's sister title, Mortgage Strategy, found dozens of cases of customers across the UK being pressured or ordered to use estate agents' in-house staff, sometimes before being allowed to view or put offers on houses.
Mortgage brokers mainly link the practice to branches of large estate agents such as Countrywide and Connells and some of their subsidiaries.
However, some smaller estate agents also put pressure on customers in the same way, according to those interviewed by Mortgage Strategy.
Hard sales tactics affect housebuyers by locking them in to using advisers with restricted lender panels, meaning they may not access the best mortgage deals.
For example, Connells and Countrywide both operate restricted panels; they would not reveal their lenders when asked.
If consumers feel forced to use estate agents' financial services, this can also mean they pay more than they would if using rival services.
Some brokers say the total fee cost for consumers can be hundreds of pounds more than market norms.
Countrywide and Connells both deny pressurised selling.

2015 Regular: Spring Break/
March 27, 2015
Spring Break
This week the Alabama Legislature did not meet due to Legislative Spring Break. They will return next week on Tuesday, March 31, where they are expected to meet for the 9th and 10th legislative days.
The House is scheduled to convene Tuesday at 1:00pm and the Senate is scheduled to convene at 2:00pm.
Senate Scheduled To Take Up Prison ReformAnd Accountability Act
The Alabama Senate is expected to call back the bill that would make changes to the Alabama Accountability Act, SB71 by Senator Marsh, after it was carried over last week so that the sponsor could continue to work out details with those opposed to the bill. That bill would most likely be dealt with on Tuesday.
They are also expected to take up the sweeping prison reform legislation championed by Senator Cam Ward (R-Alabaster) on Thursday. SB67 was passed out of the Senate Judiciary Committee on March 17 by a unanimous vote of the committee. The legislation is aimed at diverting low-level property and drug offenders away from prison. They would instead be steered toward community corrections programs. Probation officers would also see an increase in funding to hire 100 new officers, which would cut the current probation officers caseloads in half. The estimated annual cost of the reforms is $23 million according to Senator Ward.
All Of Governor Bentley's Tax Bills Introduced In The House
At the beginning of the legislative session, Governor Robert Bentley outlined his plan to raise $541 million to help fill the budget shortfall. The Governor proposed eight different pieces of legislation to raise revenue for the General Fund, and as of last week all of the bills had been introduced.

UTI is an acronym for urinary tract infection. As the name suggests, it refers to infections that are associated with the urinary system. These infections are common, but the good thing is that they are treatable. They can be embarrassing and painful infections, but there is actually less to worry about because you can easily get UTI treatment over the counter.
It goes without saying that knowing the structure of the urinary system is important in understanding the possible sites of UTIs and how they can be disseminated further. Here is a brief breakdown of the human urinary system.
The kidneys are made up of components that are involved in making urine by filtering the blood that flows though the nephrons. The nephron is the basic functional unit of the kidneys. The kidneys are located in the retroperitoneal portion of the abdomen. Once urine has been formed in the kidneys, it flows into the ureters from the left and right side to the urinary bladder which is located in the pelvis behind the pubic symphysis. Urine is stored in the bladder until there is enough to trigger the urge to void. From the bladder, urine passes out through the urethra.
From the information above, it is clear where a urinary tract infection can be located. It can be in the kidneys, ureters, bladder or the urethra. Once an infectious organism gets access to any part of this system, the infection ensues.
When talking about UTI, it's also important to understand who is at risk. Sexual intercourse has largely been implicated in young people as a way in which infections get introduced into the urinary system. Another predisposing factor for urinary tract infections is blockage of the urinary flow by, for example, kidney stones, ureteral stenosis or an enlarged prostate in men. People with diabetes are also at a higher risk of contracting UTI. Women have a shorter urethra than men. Therefore, the infectious organisms can access the higher parts of the urinary system more easily. Pregnant women are also at risk of getting UTIs. The use of urinary catheters is also a predisposing factor because the catheters can introduce microorganisms into the urinary system.
The use of contraceptive diaphragm and condoms with spermicides also increases the risk of getting a urinary tract infection.
The causes of UTIs are E.coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma genitalium, Klebsiella, and Pseudomonas. Some of these organisms are constitutively present in the body, but their numbers are elevated by some conditions leading to the development of the UTI.
How do you know that you have a urinary tract infection? The classical symptoms include feeling pain when you urinate, feeling the urge to urinate often, foul-smelling urine, bloody or misty urine. Fever is also an associated symptom. Diagnosis is made by doing a urinalysis, a urine culture, and a complete blood count. Currently, you can also do an over the counter UTI test.
Antibiotics offer the definitive treatment for UTI. For symptomatic relief, you might also need other drugs such as pain relievers. If you present with the classical symptoms, you can get over the counter medicine for UTI with less hassle. The physician will decide which drug to administer based on the infectious agent and other determinants such as age. The treatment of pregnant women is also different. Because you lose too much body fluid during the course of the infection, it is good to take a lot of water to curb dehydration.
Both brand name and generic drugs are used in the treatment of urinary tract infections. The generic antibiotics are many on the market because the manufacturers are trying to outcompete each other and many of them are sold at really low prices. Many of these generic meds are available for treating UTI over the counter. The brand name meds are also used widely but their efficacy is pretty much equal to that of the generics.
Both the generic and brand name drugs can be used as over the counter UTI medication. Therefore, you have a choice to make between the two depending on your self-preferences and your budget.
If you want to buy over the counter, you can do it online or from the brick-and-mortar pharmacies near you. Buying from a pharmacy near you is only possible if your country approves for over the counter purchases. If that is not the case yet you want to buy over the counter UTI medication; you might have to buy from elsewhere. You can ask a traveling relative or friend for a favor or get the drugs over the counter for UTI when you go abroad yourself.
The online option for buying over the counter UTI meds is easier especially if you are buying from a distant place. There's no need to travel and your privacy remains assured. Just make sure that you are dealing with a credible seller. Furthermore, it is safer to deal with well-known pharmacies. It is also prudent to know about the importation and exportation policies of the countries involved so that your orders are not withheld at the customs after you have gone through all the trouble and even spent your money. Read the reviews of the vendor that you intend to buy from before parting with your cash to avoid falling victim to fraudsters. It is always advisable to buy small quantities especially if you are buying from abroad so that you do not raise suspicion at the customs office.
Talk to other people who have had the disease before so that you can get their experiences with over the counter UTI treatment and gauge if it is the best thing for you. Alternatively, you can search discussion forums online and read about people who have suffered from urinary tract infections and how they handled it.
Generic Detrol is used to relieve the symptoms of urinary tract infection, particularly to decrease the frequency of urination. It does this by decreasing the bladder contractions. It is pharmacologically grouped as a muscarinic receptor antagonist or an anticholinergic.
It comes in 1 mg, and 2 mg immediate release tablets and 2 mg and 4 mg extended release tablets. The immediate release tablets are given at a higher frequency than the extended release ones. In patients with renal and hepatic impairment, the dosages are reduced to prevent accumulation of the drug in the body.
Detrol should not be used by people with an allergy to the drug and those with urinary or gastric retention. The drug is also used cautiously in people with narrow-angle glaucoma and myasthenia gravis patients. Lactating mothers should not take the drug.
Some of the adverse effects that can come with the use of Detrol include dry mouth, constipation, dizziness, headache, dyspepsia, xerophthalmia or 'dry eyes,' drowsiness and blurred vision.
Genetic Furadantin is an antibiotic used in the treatment of urinary tract infections. It is sold as one of the over the counter antibiotics for UTI in some regions. This medication comes in the form of capsules and an oral suspension. Furadantin capsules are available in strengths of 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg.
The bacterial strains that Furadantin eradicates include Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella, Enterobacter and S. saprophyticus.
The drug is usually prescribed in short course treatments, but it can also be used for long-term suppression of urinary tract infections. For the short course, the treatment usually lasts for seven days or 3 days after the person starts to pass urine that is devoid of the organisms. The long-term prophylaxis lasts up to 12 months.
The dosage is lower in people with urinary and hepatic impairment. The long-term treatment has a potential to cause pulmonary toxicity.
The drug should not be used in newborns, pregnancies near term, and people with allergies to the drug.
The adverse effects of generic Furadantin include diarrhea, rash, headache, anemia, flatulence, hepatitis, nausea, drowsiness, cough, chills, anorexia, and joint pains.
NegGram is an antibiotic used in the treatment of urinary tract infections. It kills a number of bacterial strains by inhibiting the production of important bacterial proteins.
NegGram should not be used in people who have allergies to the drug and those with a history of convulsions. People on anticancer chemotherapy and antiarrhythmic drugs should also avoid NegGram.
The full duration of treatment should be observed to clear the infecting agents and prevent recurrences. It is advisable to take the medication with plenty of water.
The drug causes drowsiness so it will be safer to avoid taking alcohol during treatment because it can worsen the drowsiness. Doctors advise against driving while on the drug. It is also advisable that you wear sunscreen while on NegGram because it can make you get sunburnt easily.
Nursing mothers should not use NegGram because it is not known if the drug can be found in breast milk.
Generic Noroxin, just like the brand-name drug, is used in the treatment of urinary tract infections. It is effective in the treatment of cystitis (inflammation of the bladder) and prostatitis. The drug is also effective in patients with gonorrhea, traveler's diarrhea and other infections such as Campylobacter jejuni and salmonellosis.
Generic Noroxin is a fluoroquinolone that acts by inhibiting the replication of bacterial DNA thus leading to the death of the microorganisms. It is a drug with rapid absorption, and it reaches its peak concentration in about an hour.
The most commonly available strength is the 400 mg tablets.
In nursing mothers, the drug should be stopped. Alternatively, nursing may be stopped during the treatment.
The fluoroquinolones are associated with bad serious side effects, and they are therefore not used routinely unless the benefits outweigh the side effects. It is for this reason that this class of drugs (to which Noroxin belongs) is reserved only for patients who have no other options of treatment.
People with known allergies to Noroxin should not take the medication. It is used with caution in people with convulsions and children.
The common adverse effects that are associated with the use of Noroxin include nausea, headache, dizziness, stomach cramping and general body weakness. Other include muscle pain, diarrhea, depression, confusion, fever, back pain, heartburn, cholestatic jaundice, constipation, and dyspnea.
UTI is a common condition that can affect anyone. If you suspect that you are infected, seek medical assistance. Presently, there are several over the counter meds for UTI which make the treatment process very fast and easy.

Florida Supreme Court Rules "Ambiguous Term" Must Be Construed in Favor of Coverage
On July 13th, 2017, the Florida Supreme Court issued a decision in the case of Government Employees Insurance Company (GEICO) v. Alysia M. Macedo. This lawsuit involved a dispute over ambiguous insurance policy language. In this post, our experienced Fort Lauderdale property insurance litigation attorneys analyze the case and discuss what it can teach policyholders about how Florida courts handle ambiguous terms.
Case Analysis
The Background
In 2012, Alysia Macedo was injured in an auto accident with a driver who carried a GEICO insurance policy. Eventually, after settlement negotiations broke down, a lawsuit was filed, which the insurance company defended. Upon decision by a trial court, Ms. Macedo was granted an award of $172,965.91 for her injuries and legal costs. Much of this award was for the attorneys' fees that Ms. Macedo incurred in association with litigating the claim.
GEICO Appeals, Arguing that the Policy Does Not Cover Attorneys' Fees
The GEICO policy at issue in this case provided coverage for "other reasonable costs and expenses". Indeed, in this section of the policy, a clause expressly provides coverage for "court costs and related legal fees". However, GEICO argued before the court the opposing party's attorneys' fees were not meant to be included in the term "related legal fees". As such, the insurer contended that no award should be granted against the policy for Ms. Macedo's attorneys' fees.
The Supreme Court Explains How Insurance Ambiguities Should Be Handled in Florida
The first thing the Supreme Court noted was that there was inherent ambiguity over whether or not this policy was meant to provide coverage for the opposing party's attorneys' fees. Specifically, the court stated that there are multiple reasonable interpretations of the language used in this policy. Citing the 2015 case of Geico Gen. Ins. Co. v. Hollingsworth, the court then ruled against GEICO on the grounds that insurance policy ambiguities must always be construed in favor of coverage.
Ambiguous Terms: The Insurance Company Does Not Get the Last Word
This case provides an important lesson for property insurance policyholders. Should there be multiple reasonable interpretations of your policy, then the insurance company is required to follow the interpretation that would be most favorable to providing coverage for you. If you believe that the policy grants your coverage for your property damage, but your insurance company is interpreting the policy in another way, please contact a qualified lawyer who can review your claim. If your interpretation of the ambiguous language is reasonable, then you are entitled to coverage under the policy.
Was Your Property Insurance Claim Denied?

*** We are constantly improving our App.
Thus we are thankful for every hint. ***
Discover our App ShotokanKata!
Have you already experienced this situation?
You study a kata form, than let it slide and soon you forget the sequence. So it happens often, that the student forgets the next step in the middle of the kata form.
"If I only had the chance to look the sequence up real quick, then I would master it pretty soon again."
Even prospects and beginners can easily follow the kata sequences because of many illustrations.
This App is supposed to be nothing else, than the required support and even more:
• Which kata did I study last ? The list with the kata forms is build as a to-do-list. Depending on your progress, you can hook a kata off to change its order for a better overview.
•The portrait mode allows you to recognize and study important details, since illustrations are bigger.
• Illustrations can be zoomed in.
• Two final techniques are always bound with three movements inbetween. Thus you can exactly follow how to get from one technique to another.
• 3 different animation speeds and free scrolling allow you to adjust the app to the individual learning progress.
• Landscape mode offers you a view of multiple graphics at one time to be able to better follow the sequences.
• Eight freely eligible backgrounds put you in the right training mood.
• Always available legend allows you to look up the symbols really fast.

USING a pole pot puts groundbait and free offerings inch perfectly at the length of pole you choose to fish.
Tight feeding like this nearly always brings better results.
A decent sized pole cup is essential gear for depositing larger quantities of bait less frequently (requiring its own top kit), while smaller pole pots are often lethal for regularly dribbling smaller helpings around the float.
The latter can be installed on the actual top kit you are fishing with.

Within each of our bodies are 7 centers from which our energy originates and flows. When each is moving properly, we are able to approach life using the full spectrum of our intuition because we are connected to each part of ourselves in a deep and meaningful way. However, each hub can be thrown off kilter due to being blocked in very specific ways. Taking the time to tune into each chakra and allowing time to rest between each healing is crucial for successful shifts and lasting implementation.
This program was designed to clear and reignite each chakra with gentle guidance stretched out over the span of 10 weeks.
Week 1: We will draw up a map of issues where they present within your body to find the main barrier (you will receive a copy) so that we can customize the program to you specifically using various modalities; each session will be unique due to intuitive approach, however all are based in a Tantric foundation.
Week 2-8: Each week, we will focus on each of the chakras individually. You will received weekly guided 1:1 instruction, a weekly follow up to check in** from our session earlier in the week, and a customized mantra or message that we discover after delving in.
Week 9: Using the map we drew in week 1, we will do a final in depth analysis to determine our progression and where stagnation is still remaining.
(Week 10): I will deliver any program info and do another follow up via email.
**People often want to do a complete overhaul of everything in their life and remove or add too many things at once. This is why most people are unable to create sustainable change. I too struggle here sometimes; I think, 'I'll just get rid of all the bad things!' It rarely to pretty much never works well that way. Like all healing with our body, our inner core needs time to rest and gradually grow from a solid foundation. Any instructor/teacher/coach worth their salt will tell you this.
De/Re-programming yourself takes time.**
A non-refundable deposit of $300 is required to book this program with me prior to meeting
I do offer discounts for those paying in full (notify me prior to scheduling please)
Body map from week 1 will be sent prior to our first chakra session via pdf/jpg file
Mantra/meditation audio file to be delivered in the post program bundle
*Additional discounts with partners or collaborators as they are available*

February 25 Meeting: Using the Leahi hospital campus to develop a long-term care master plan
(With apologies, there is no audio available for this meeting. Please tune in next month.)
Notes from the March Kokua Council Newsletter:
Marilyn Seely; The Leahi master plan envisions a long-term care system that would allow Leahi to expand into the community and become a center of excellence for long-term care (LTC). Leahi hospital on 6.7 acres and adjacent to 10 acres of state property, is ideally situated next to Kapiolani community college with its family caregiving training program and to mental health facilities. The last structure at Leahi was built in 1950. The governor has just released funds for the repair of Leahi's physical plant.
There are 9 beds at Leahi still set aside for acute tuberculosis cases. Only 2 of those beds are currently occupied. Creative possibilities include the Eden Alternative, The Greenhouse Project and a think tank to meet the needs of the elderly.
SB 3237 is considered a creative holistic approach and could be a prototype for LTC services in Hawaii. If passed, an interim report would be due December 2009 and the master plan would be due December 2010.
Leigh –Wai Doo then reported that this might be "the most important project that Kokua Council might ever do." He said it could be a catalyst that will affect the next three generations of seniors. It is imperative that it be implemented as soon as possible.
However, the Leahi bill died for this session. We hope the Leahi group will pursue private foundation funding to pursue this worthwhile project .Ed.

Leadership 2025 – Why will it make a difference? And what is it all about?
At Roffey Park we run many business school programmes, for leaders, graduates, and captains of industry. We are proud to have an extremely high attainment rate for alumni and have developed our Strategic Leadership Programmes to provide tailored learning for organisations and individuals.
We've also worked with a number of Housing Associations and CEOs in the sector.
When we were asked to pitch to co-design a leadership programme aimed not only at supporting and developing talented BME leaders and in doing so, to help with a paradigm shift in a sector's cultural identity, we recognised the importance of the initiative, for both those individuals who will undertake the course, for the organisations who will act as their sponsors and for the sector as a whole.
The Leadership 2025 Programme is designed to offer candidates the opportunity to gain exposure to world class learning.
As with many of those who have been on our programmes, the accreditation offered is widely recognised and we would expect to be like CV gold dust.
The programme is thought provoking and demanding. It offers an opportunity to take leadership of your learning that will prepare you to lead and contribute to your sector in a significant way.
There are two elements to the programme: the open programme and development learning set days.
It is a 9-month intensive programme, with each participant attending Roffey Park's Strategic Leadership open programme and learning from peers across the private, public and not-for-profit sectors.
This open programme consists of two blocks of 3.5 days residential and 4.5 days programmes. These sessions will include input discussion and working on live case studies.
This element of the programme is designed to give candidates a rich exposure to other sectors and provide opportunity to engage with and learn alongside other Leaders.
The second element of the programme is a series of development days, these combine learning set activities and themed discussions, which have been designed specifically with individual housing Leaders in mind. Participants will explore the following areas:
- An individual's personal journey of leadership.
- An in-depth exploration of the participant's current career trajectory
- Reflection and support for their ambition
- Devising a personal and tailored action plan
- Identifying success factors and milestones along the journey
Each participant is expected to take a critical look at their own development needs and to create a personalised learning contract. This learning contract will then form the basis of individual learning plans to complete during the programme.
This will combine academic and live research, action and experimentation and 'reporting' back to the learning set. This may be via an essay, a presentation, a practical exercise etc.
Leadership 2025 will aim to help participants build resilience, broaden networks and focus on career development and leadership strategies that will apply equally to business and to the housing sector.
Coupled with the Roffey Park learning elements, Leadership 2025 will also provide mentoring from experienced leaders within the sector.
In addition, there will be master classes offered to provide technical skills, ranging from Finance, Development to working with the Board. These will be facilitated by individuals with significant expertise in their field.
If you are a BME leader that is wondering – What is next for you and you want focused learning and support to raise your potential, capability and confidence, start having a conversation with your organisation about taking part in this programme and be a part of this pioneering programme.
And equally if you are an organisation that takes BME under representation at senior levels seriously, do support this programme generally and identify and encourage individuals that you know should be the sector leaders of the future to participate.
At Roffey Park, we'll do our part to equip your sector leaders.
As individuals, we expect those participating to be prepared to take responsibility for their own learning; and as organisations, the sector must take its' responsibility for commitment and encouragement.
More details can be found here. The closing date for applications is Friday 18th August.
The programme lead with be Shelly Hossain: email@example.com, 07970592499.

Speaker: HE Koji Tsuruoka, Ambassador of Japan
Ambassador Tsuruoka arrived in London to take up his new post just around a fortnightbefore the Brexit referendum and we look forward to asking him whether its result came as a surprise as much to the Japanese administration as it did to ours. If its aftermath implies a fevered period of trade negotiations on all sides his considerable international trade experience - recently for example as Japan's chief negotiator in the Trans-Pacific Partnership multilateral trade talks - will no doubt come to the fore.
Ambassador Tsuruoka was previously Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs and before that Director-General of the International Legal Affairs Bureau of the Japanese MFA. As a top-level diplomat and lawyer his take on the post-Brexit relationship between our countries will be of essential significance of course to those with specifically relevant business interests but will also offer an important overview of how things may work out more globally.
This is a D Group event. For members only.

Nairobi Outcome Document
- Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation: Mexico High Level Meeting Communique: This Communique covers the outcome of the 2014 High-Level meeting intended to build upon the Busan Partnership. Paragraph 15 of the document reinforces the comittment made in Busan to enable CSOs to exercise their roles as independent development actors, with a particular focus on an enabling environment.
- Busan Partnership for Effective Development Co-operation: This declaration discusses the enabling environment for civil society in paragraph 22.
- A New Deal for Engagement in Fragile States: This agreement recognizes that the empowerment of women, youth and marginalized groups are key factors for successful state and peace-building, but many CSOs believed it failed to guarantee democratic ownership.
- The Siem Reap CSO Consensus on the International Framework for CSO Development Effectiveness: This global framework recognizes the importance of "rights-based approaches" in improving the effectiveness and quality of CSO development work. The eight Istanbul Principles for CSO Development Effectiveness on page 20 include a definition of "enabling environment" and "enabling standards".
- Accra Agenda for Action: This document recognizes CSOs as independent development actors for the first time.
- Paris Declaration: This declaration outlines five key principles for aid effectiveness but does not mention CSOs.
- Making Development Co-operation More Effective: 2016 Progress Report: This report provides the results of the second global monitoring exercise by the Global Partnership for Effective Development Co-operation (GPEDC) regarding progress on development effectiveness commitments of the Busan Partnership Agreement. The results and analysis were meant to be used for discussion around global progress in effective development co-operation at the second High Level Meeting of the GPEDC in Nairobi, Kenya from November 28 to December 1. The report shows that little progress was made on providing civil society an enabling environment for their work, despite states' commitments to do so.
- Assessment of Evidence by the CSO Partnership for Development Effectiveness: This 2016 report by the CSO Partnership for Development Effectiveness (CPDE) assesses global progress on the Busan Partnership commitment to enable "civil society [to operate] within an environment that maximizes its engagement in and contribution to development." It draws from ICNL and other secondary research, as well as the results of a 2016 monitoring exercise using a refined methodology for measuring enabling environments in more than 70 countries.
- Monitoring Guide 2015-2016: Monitoring the effective development cooperation commitments: This document explains the objectives, process and methodology for the 2015-16 monitoring round of the Global Partnership for Effective Development Co-operation, which aims at monitoring the implementation of selected commitments made in the Busan Partnership agreement to improve the effectiveness of development co-operation.
- Review of Evidence of Progress on Civil Society Related Commitments of the Busan High Level Forum: This report provides an overview of evidence of progress on commitments made at the Accra and Busan High Level Forums, as a qualitative contribution to the GPEDC's monitoring exercise. It informed discussion on progress since Busan at the 2014 first High Level Meeting of the GPEDC.
- An Enabling Environment for Civil Society Organizations: A Synthesis of Evidence of Progress since Busan: The CSO Partnership for Development Effectiveness (CPDE) submitted this report to the GPEDC. Citing data from the Civic Space Initiative, it concluded that––despite the Busan commitments––governments have heightened restrictions on CSOs in recent years, particularly regarding access to foreign funding, thereby undermining sustainable and inclusive development.
- International Framework for CSO Development Effectiveness Toolkits: The Implementation Toolkit provides guidance on putting the Istanbul Principles into practice and the Advocacy Toolkit provides guidance on promoting a more enabling environment in any country or region.
- Aid Effectiveness 2005-10: Progress in Implementing the Paris Declaration: Aid Effectiveness 2005-10: Progress in Implementing the Paris Declaration draws on the results of the 2011 Survey on Monitoring the Paris Declaration, building on similar surveys undertaken in 2006 and 2008. A total of 78 countries and territories volunteered to participate in the final round of surveys, which look at the state of play in 2010.
- Assessing CSO engagement: The Global Partnership and the Sustainable Development Goals Monitoring Framework: This discussion paper by the Task Team on CSO Development Effectiveness and Enabling Environment offers possibilities to the Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation for applying its monitoring of enabling environments for civil society to the implementation and review of the Sustainable Development Goals.
- Input for the UN High Level Debate on Means of Implementation for a Transformative Post-2015 Development Agenda: In this document the Task Team for CSO Development Effectiveness and Enabling Environment of the GPEDC urges that implementation of the post-2015 Development Agenda "provide and protect an enabling environment for civil society and other stakeholders."
- Making Development Co-operation More Effective: In 2011 the international development community committed to make development co-operation more effective to deliver better results for the world's poor. At the mid-point between commitments endorsed in the High-Level Forum in Busan, Korea in 2011 and the 2015 target date of the Millennium Development Goals, this report takes stock of how far we have come and where urgent challenges lie.
- Key Messages on Civil Society Development Effectiveness and Enabling Environment: These key messages targeted the first High Level Meeting (HLM) of the GPEDC in April 2014. They included "promote and protect an enabling environment for civil society, in law, policy and in practice, consistent with internationally-agreed rights and associated good practice guidelines."
- Position Paper on CSO Enabling Environment for the 4th High-Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness: In this paper CONCORD requests that the EU recognize the Open Forum framework for CSO development effectiveness. It cites a report by ICNL on foreign funding restrictions and the shrinking space for civil society.
- Comparative Studies of Multi-stakeholder Initiatives: The Task Team on CSO Development Effectiveness and Enabling Environment commissioned a study on what contributes to good performance of multi-stakeholder initiatives (MSIs). This study is relevant considering the emphasis placed on partnerships as an instrument of international development cooperation, including within the framework of the Post-2015 Development Agenda.
- Engaging Citizens and Civil Society to Promote Good Governance and Development Effectiveness: A brief published by the Asian Development Bank on the growing movement for governments to engage with citizens and civil society and how that affects good governance and development effectiveness.
- CSOs on the Road from Accra to Busan: Documenting the Experiences of the CSO Better Aid Platform and the Open Forum on CSO Development Effectiveness: This publication provides an overview of the CSO initiatives that strengthened development effectiveness and the enabling environment for CSOs. It includes unique primary-source stakeholder perspectives.

it might be something similar, but that likely would have been quite anachronistic for the source. and he doesn't use it speaking of himself to other; only speaking to himself.
or, perhaps, the royal "we" derives from this somehow?

quote:Hopefully you read the issue surrounding those verses and not just a contradiction list.
Pecel, which is translated as graven image, refers to something carved and then worshiped. IOW, idols. It isn't referring to just anything carved for decoration or used in the worship of YHWH such as the cherubim.
Graven image refers to an idol carved in wood or stone that is worshiped as a god or in place of a god.
Show me that the Priestly writer in Exodus and the Deuteronomist were speaking of general decorative carvings and not objects made to worship.
Per the Documentary Hypothesis, the Priestly writer wrote Exodus 20:4 and Exodus 25. Notice the cherubims are beaten or hammered work, not carved.
This isn't a contradiction.

quote:Psalms is a song expressing what the people felt. The song isn't telling people to rejoice.
The proverbs are wisdom gathered through the ages.
So one is telling us it isn't wise to gloat (Proverbs) and the other shows us that people still feel like gloating when the enemy suffers (Psalms).
This isn't a contradiction.

quote:Did you compare the lists of returnees? There are many differences, but I wouldn't call them contradictions. We have no way of knowing if the numbers matched when originally written or not. Neither list adds up to the total given and we don't know if they did when originally written either. Given the number of times this story has probably been copied by hand, I would assume mistakes before contradictions.
Also if you notice there is a slight difference in the presentation. Nehemiah supposedly located the record of the genealogies and copied what was written in it. Ezra doesn't make that statement. The author doesn't say that Ezra and Nehemiah were pulling the information from the same place. What Nehemiah found may have been the final list.
Just because the lists don't match, doesn't mean it's a contradiction.
quote:Same issue. We don't have the original to know if the numbers were actually different. We still have the possibility for ancient "typos".
Chronicles is a later writing and may have had more information at the time of writing.
I see these more as copying mistakes or just differences in available data. These are not contradictions.
Does the overall point of the story or event contradict the overall point of the other author?

boo, technicalities.
i'll one up you. what's the difference, exactly, other than the claims of the author?
pretty much every religion in the area was aniconic. more or less nobody worshiped idols. they were just used in religious functions. in some cases, lavishly worked idols stood in for offerings in the temple, in a kind of perpetual sacrifice so that the person making the offering wouldn't have to keep killing their sheep. in other cases, like in sumeria, the idol stood in for the person, perpetually in the temple (eyes wide to receive the gods). in some of the levantine nations, the idol was the seat of the god who wasn't pictured -- such as in israel. they were religious ornaments, placed permanently in the temple, that did not picture god.
for all intents and purposes, the carubim in israel were not really any different than any idols anywhere in the area. that includes the golden calves in samaria and bethel (during the divided kingdom). it seems that "YOU'RE WORSHIPING AN INANIMATE OBJECT!" was the simultaneous political insult and battle cry of the day, but really just a lot of hot air.
in any case, modern orthodox jews wouldn't make your technical distinction between "beaten" and "graven". any image whatsoever relating to the divine is bad, regardless of medium or method. muslims go one step further, and aren't allowed to depict anything except geometry.

First of all if the book was supposedly inspired by god one would expect that no such "mistakes" would be in it. You know all knowing all powerful god inspiring wrong numbers to a person kinda sounds strange dont you think unless you think only parts of the bible are inspired then i would politely ask you witch parts and how do you know ?
Secondly if i told you i have 7 children and after that i would tell you i have 6 children would those statements contradict each other i would say that they would. If i have 7 i have 7 children and not 6, and if i have 6 children i have 6 not 7.
And im not even going to respond to your latter post about carving and beating something in to shape lol.

quote:1. This is the accuracy and inerrancy thread, not faith and belief. This is a science forum. Mistakes are not contradictions. Make up your mind which you are presenting.
The differences may be ancient "typos" or different resources.
quote:Yes and no. I understand what you are trying to show and in that case, yes you are contradicting yourself. But if you think about it, if you actually have 7 children, then you also have 6 children. So your second statement isn't incorrect, but it isn't the full count. Just an odd thought.
What you presented were different authors. You didn't present one author contradicting previous information. There is a difference.
quote:There was more to that post than that.
Of course, I'm not surprised. You don't tend to provide substance for a real discussion.
Have a great New Year!

So if i hammer me a calf and worship it that is no ofence to your god. What if i hammer me a chest and say god is inside.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
notice the part of any likeness of any thing in heaven or on erth, or under water or under the earth.
Clearly saying do not make any kind of image for any kind of worship.
the second clearly shows what item to make for worship, my guess is cherubims are clearly either from heaven above (angels).
Lol so tell me one nation ever that carved something and then worshiped that thing not the thing it represents.
No cultures actually worshiped the statutes or the like, they worshiped what they represented, a many armed woman statue represented a Hindu god it was that god they worshiped not the statue. I think it is illogical to claim that your god wanted no one to worship a statute or idol because no one ever did. He wanted no idols at one point and then he wanted idols for him clear and simple.

quote:Please address the argument I made in Message 140. News channels are reporting events at relatively the same time. If two reporters are independently reporting information and the information isn't the same, then one or both of them are potentially wrong. They aren't necessarily contradicting each other. They may have different sources of information. One could also have had updated info the other didn't. There's no need for info to be made up to be incorrect or outdated.
In this discussion we are dealing with written accounts. One is about Ezra and the other about Nehemiah. Did you read the accounts? As I said, the author doesn't say that Ezra and Nehemiah were pulling the information from the same place. What Nehemiah found may have been a later or final list. I would assume copying mistakes before different sources of info, but I wouldn't call the differences in the lists a contradiction. Mistakes or different info, yes; contradiction, no. Since we don't have the originals, we can't tell whether the numbers originally agreed or not.

You're taking the word "contradiction" too literally. When people talk about Bible contradictions, they usually mean inconsistencies.
That seems to be the intent of the OP: "Show me a contradiction/inconsistency and I'll show you an apologetic." Mistakes, plot holes, omissions, etc. should count.

What's the meaning of the Magnolia »
This page is about the meaning, origin and characteristic of the symbol, emblem, seal, sign, logo or flag: Magnolia.
Magnolias are especially prized in China, where they carry powerful symbolic meaning.
In Chinese culture, the magnolia flower is a traditional symbol of feminine beauty. Historically, the trees from which magnolias blossomed were all deemed the property of the emperor, and if he gave a magnolia tree to one of his subjects as a gift, it was regarded as a sign of great favor. The name for magnolia in Chinese is 'mulan', and this gives the plant an association with the famous female warrior from Chinese legend. Popularized by the 1998 Disney movie of the same name, Mulan was a woman who donned armor and went into battle disguised as a man.

Arclight Dims 2018 SSS
Arclight Dims Once each Millennium an ancient, godlike entity descends from the heavens, choosing worthy warriors to be his incarnate. These beings are the Arclight-Immortal agents of the light divine. Youlytn was a powerful nation of wealth and limitless resources, the capital sat on a hill rising over the nation, the buildings were marbled white, everything gleamed as if even the buildings were pure. Farms stretched for miles, so much people had thought it crossed even beyond the horizon. Every day Youlytn were met with clear skies and blessed with heavenly light. Standing in the centre of the capital was the Sanctum. All the Arclight had gathered bickering amongst each other. Quarrels echoed through the corridors, suffocating the halls for what had seemed like days yet had already been weeks. A mission was tasked that one of the Arclight enforce must will of divine and bring peace across the continent. Yorick slouched on his throne, it would gleam of gold and rubies if he had let the sunshine through the stained glass, obstructed by long draping curtains. In front were his fellow Arclight jousting words, Keus, Ysilos, Varus, Aatrox, Syndra, all Arclight beings surrounding a sizable round marble table enforced with gold framing, furthermore two seats remained empty. Yorick sat almost lifeless as his eyes gazed into his crown, one hand assisting his head as it rested on the throne arm, it sat in front of him on a pedestal, tempting him. Arclight, beings of power and transcendence, chosen by the gods, yet they bicker like hounds fighting over scrap meat, he thought to himself. Yet he wouldn't give himself the strength to do anything. "You have done nothing but boast on the past, you live for nothing but the reminiscence" Keus accused, as his hands slammed onto the marble table, his draping robes devouring his body with nothing but his face and hands exposed. "I live for the past for what I have done was noble and priceless, what you have done? You did nothing but read books and pray for a mortal life" Aatrox retaliated with pride and self-esteem "You do not know true pride" "All you talk of is war, your martial prowess has done you nothing" Syndra hissed "You underestimate the power of knowledge, Aatrox, you are almost comparable to a buffoon" Aatrox's fists clenched his hands, ready to strike at the next mockery of his power. Pride overwhelmed him. Pride overwhelmed them all. They were gods, but children. His clenched fists caught the attention of Syndra, she smirked and raised her hand ready in defence. The Arclight was powerful but the Justicar was a title given to Arclight only with prodigal achievements such as Aatrox and Syndra. Ysilos snickered "You guys do realise this is a suicide mission right?" She was the youngest of the Arclight only being 2 centuries old, she did not look the part of an Arclight; she wore green leatherwear with a silver crown with two long horns coming out the front. "Enough!" Varus exclaimed "This bickering has done us no good for the last few days" The Arclight looked at Varus, Aatrox's fists unclenched as he slowly put himself back into his seat, the seat. Ysilos glanced around the room, for the first time in days the Sanctum was silent. Death was what they wanted, yet little did they realise, not for the pride or noble mission, but their selfish yearn for a worthy death, they were Arclight after all. Bound by pride, unwilling to admit to a craving for death, unwilling to admit to themselves. Yorick stood up and gently picked up his crown with both hands, his touch was fragile. He staggered out of the Sanctum with all the care he could muster. With little patience left Varus stood up "I will deal with this myself" Yorick stood out onto the open balcony of the Sanctum, he overlooked his vast city as it soaked in the afternoon warmth. Murmur grew amongst the crowd as Yorick emerged the first time in several years, often it was to stand out to give speeches or set out for a mission. However, Yorick had no intent for that, he simply came out to escape the dark confines of the Sanctum to bathe in the warmth of the sunlight amongst his people. He held his crown in his hands, reluctantly placed the crown on his head, holding his eyes clothes, a voice echoed around him. "It has been too long Yorick" it whispered "You have abandoned your cause" it resembled a familiar voice, Yorick resisted the tears "Have I not done enough?" Yorick replied "Have I not served you long enough? Has 7 millennium not satisfied you?!" "Immortality is a blessing Yorick" "This endless life in an endless torture" Yorick corrected "Mortals should not have been given this power, Vel'coz, it did not grant my power, it cursed me" he rose his hands, palms facing his eyes. They were as pale as the marble tables. Gazing into his hands as they trembled like earthquakes. "You are tired Yorick" It whispered "But her soul is not" Yorick clenched his fists and he fell to his knees, disappearing from the citizens observing Yorick "Why…" Yorick said, "WHY DO YOU TORMENT ME?!" Yorick proceeded, his shouts echoed through every wall and across every corner of the city "I only inherit her voice, I force no bidding on you Yorick. You may live an eternity as a crestfallen king, or serve your once distant past" "Your words haunt me… Maiden, one thousand graves have not been enough has it?" Yorick's voice gave into the Maiden "My love is nothing but a distant memory" Yorick stood up and re-entered the Sanctum Several hours past and the sun had long set, only the streaks of moonlight shone through the stained glass. The roundtable amongst themselves, Aatrox sharpening his blade as if preparing for battle, Syndra and Ysilos talking amongst themselves, Syndra bestowing great knowledge to the young Arclight, whilst Keus sat praying, as usual, they were awaiting orders, afraid to make the judgement of what to do next. The entrance creaks open and the Arclight all shift their heads see them return of Varus only after several hours. Varus struggled through the large gate, a large sack, he slumps the sack then revealing a body on the marble table. Aatrox shoots up straight, Ysilos and Keus cover their mouths in horror. A large bellowing body, dressed in golden scratched armour covered with dried blood, lifeless. His body so prodigious, only a certain marble chair could fit him, he was Xeueus, the colossal Arclight. As he laid as the first Arclight to face death. Ysilos screeched "w-what the hell happened to him" "Vayne recently returned to Youlytn with his body" Varus explained, "now if you 'gods' had taken this more solemnly, we would NOT be mourning our brethren right now!" Varus said with aggression in his voice "How… I do not understand" Aatrox almost trembling "we fought together in the battle of Eyrans" "This is no PETTY war Justicar, this is far more than the bickering of nations" "It is the corruption…" as Syndra studied the armour, gliding her hands over the sharp scratches of the armour "The void is here…" Keus continued, he clenched his hands together tightly. "The insatiable hunger? Like in the scriptures" Ysilos reluctantly asked "Like in the scriptures…" Syndra repeated For the first time, fear overwhelmed the Arclight, all memories of the past, mattered no more, this was a darkness they have never faced. "There is only one person we can leave this to" The curtains then drew open and blue moonlight devoured the Sanctum, Vayne leaned on the throne, arms crossed as the moonlight shone over her "We leave this to the one who started it all, King Yorick" Yorick reached the outskirts of Youlytn, he had wandered for several hours, the moon had already replaced the Sun, moonlit plains stretched out in front of Yorick. The grass rustled as the wind blew against him, he took one step back and gazed at the shining city he built from his bare hands. The city lights had seemed dimmer than the previous nights, however, Yorick hadn't noticed. Dressed in robes and golden armour, carrying his once-trusty weapon, Yorick without one more look set out on his journey to enforce the will of the divine, with the haunting voice of a past love. Vowing only to return once his mission had finished. Unaware, Yorick was already he out of time.

Today it is difficult to find a medical article that is not blemished by one or more of the following—medical jargon, verbosity, technical superfluities, misspelling, repetitiousness or "verbicide." This little book will help to eliminate these and other flaws and should sharpen the critical faculties of would-be writers.
The question of medical writing presents an unfortunate paradox. The powers controlling the policies of medical departments are often stridently insistent that their protégés give birth to a steady stream of publications. Yet how many of them allot time in their curricula for much-needed instruction in the gentle art of writing? The

1. Black Watercolor Pillow Cover from toucheefeelee1 // I've been all about watercolor lately! I've talked about actually decorating an office space in my house, and though it hasn't happened yet, this pillow would be a perfect addition! We recently rearranged our living room furniture which made room for me to bring a desk upstairs ... Now to actually get the motivation to not work from my couch.
2. "Guest Post: Motivational Wallpapers by Chelcey Tate" on Lorelai's Things // I was featured on the lovely Lorelai's blog this week! If you like Gilmore Girls references, a dose of motivation and free desktop wallpapers designed by yours truly, check it out!
3. "Breaking Bread" by Be Up And Doing // I was excited to see the preview of this post on Instagram from Allie. Friendships in adulthood are different in so many ways compared to friendships in other stages of life. Making friends is primarily made through social media these days, and the obligation to hang out with people all the time isn't nearly as evident as it used to be.
4. "Decorative Document Plush Pillows DIY" by A Beautiful Mess // How ADORABLE are these pillows!? As soon as I saw them I knew that I wanted to make one ... or seven. I think that the marriage license will be perfect for our master bedroom, and the concert ticket idea would be great for Sean's gaming/music space! Now getting around to doing all of these DIY projects that I share all the time is a completely different story ... But hey, it sounds good, right?
1. I've been doing a ton of studying on self portraits lately, and I'm giving some a shot this weekend with my new camera! I'm sure it will be equally as frustrating as it will be exciting, but I'm looking forward to learning something new and playing with my new camera!
2. Amanda and I are heading to an art show at Revelry Boutique + Gallery tonight. Derby time around Louisville means a lot of fun events and a mix of things happening, including a double artist feature tonight! If you're in Louisville, I highly recommend that you come check it out.
3. As of this Sunday I have been blogging for an entire year! You can read more about where I started and the (slightly) new direction I'm taking with my blog here.

Arthritis is a medical term used for any chronic condition that causes damage to the cartilage or joints. Although cats can be affected, arthritis is most commonly found in dogs—both young and old.
Arthritis typically appears in the stifle (knee), hip, elbow, shoulder, carpus (wrist), or hock (ankle); it can also occur in the spine. Most cases arise in dogs with an inherited orthopedic disease such as hip dysplasia, or those who have suffered some sort of injury to a joint.
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease. It occurs when the cartilage in the joint is damaged from wear and tear, hip dysplasia or other congenital joint abnormalities, ruptured cruciate ligaments, trauma or other joint conditions. It is a progressive disease. Early diagnosis and treatment is crucial to slow the progression of the disease and establish a treatment plan with your veterinarian.
Symptoms of Arthritis
• Stiffness-especially in the morning or after first getting up
• Limping
• Difficulty in climbing stairs
• Trouble jumping up onto the bed or couch
• Evidence of pain when touched
• Reluctance to run and play normally
• Continual licking of a specific joint
Diagnosing Arthritis
Diagnosing arthritis and osteoarthritis is done by taking X-rays, in which it is not uncommon to see show bone spurs and joint space narrowing or other signs of degeneration.
Treatment Options
There is no cure for degenerative joint disease, but there are many treatments that can help improve comfort and quality of life.
Because overweight animals are much more likely to experience symptoms due to the added strain placed on the joints and discs of the vertebrae, weight reduction and maintenance of a lean body weight is extremely important in helping ease pain and symptoms.
Some treatment plans include physical therapy, weight management, prescription medications, joint supplements, acupuncture, and massage.
If your pet is showing any symptoms of arthritis, call and schedule an appointment with your veterinarian to discuss the best treatment for your pet. Treatment is most effective when started early in the disease process.

Following the release of the latest Elder Scrolls Online expansion, titled Summerset, Bethesda has announced that the second half of 2018 will unveil two new adventures for players to embark on.
While they will not be on the same scale as Summerset and Morrowind, both Wolfhunter and Murkmire will add new challenges, loot and lore to the game. Wolfhunter, which is the smaller of the two DLCs revolves, as you can probably guess, around the lycanthropic curse of the werewolves. In the Elder Scrolls universe, werewolves were gifted with a blessing from the Daedric Prince Hircine, allowing them to take the ferocious form of an anthropomorphic wolf.
Wolfhunter will add two new group dungeons; Moon Hunter Keep and March of Sacrifices which, while they will play host to two very different environments, the overarching theme will be surrounding the werewolves and on top of all this, players will come face to face with Hircine himself.
Murkmire, on the other hand, is ESO's next zone and story expansion bringing with it an intriguing storyline about uncovering the secrets of the Hist. Players will travel to the home of the Argonians, known as Black Marsh to battle against fearsome World Bosses, conquer Delves and of course slice through any who stand in their way.
Both Murkmire and Wolfhunter will be available to all with an active ESO Plus membership, as well as being available for direct purchase. Both expansions will arrive in the second half of 2018, and undoubtedly we will get a greater taste of what is to be discovered sooner rather than later.

Influencer Spotlight: Sandra Manay and Carolyn Yuen
Q&A with collaborators @sandramanay and @heyprettything_
As more and more people invest serious time in their social feeds and begin to work with brands, what it means to be an influencer constantly evolves. This is something we like to let our influencers shed light on.
This week, we asked Sandra Manay and Carolyn Yuen to share their experiences in growing their Instagram followings and the perks and challenges of maintaining influencer status on social.
In case you were looking for an awesome boho Instagram account to follow, @sandramanay is the answer. This Peruvian native is based in NYC, but as you'll see from her feed, she takes her 12K+ followers around the world to discover beautiful, exotic locations. When she's not showing off her travels, she's showing you some awesome outfits or adorable doggies.
Hong-Kong native and Seattle dweller @heyprettything_ is also a big fan of traveling and has recently taken her 12K+ followers all over Europe. Carolyn always finds the cutest place in the shop, street or landscape to capture. Paired with the right filter, no wonder she gets so many likes!
OS: Looking back at day 1, when you first created your Instagram account, did you ever think that it would grow as much as it did? What was the turning point for you that made you want to monetize your Instagram feed?
Sandra: When I started my Instagram I wanted it to use it as an inspiration of my bohemian lifestyle. I thought I would just have a small audience of boho girls, but surprisingly I have a mix from surfers to vegan chefs to designers. I enjoy it a lot!
Carolyn: Blogging/social media have changed so much since I joined (I'm talking circa Angelfire and Geocities days...). I used to just share whatever on Instagram (now I do that on Snapchat), but it's a much more curated and strategized platform. My growth on Instagram has been slow and steady. I started monetizing some of the content when tools were made available, or when agencies reach out to me.
OS: What is the most challenging part of trying to make it as an influencer today?
Sandra: Distractions. Sometimes it's easy to lose focus on why you started blogging and what you wanted to accomplish.
Carolyn: It's a saturated market, but that makes the challenge more fun. Influencers have to have a niche, a loyal and involved following, and quality content to produce. I'm constantly inspired and pushed to improve because there are so many incredible influencers out there who set a high standard.
OS: How have your feeds changed since working on campaigns with us? Have other brands reached out to you since?
Carolyn: I've only worked on Uniqlo with OS - those campaigns were fun because I love Uniqlo, so styling their pieces felt natural.
Sandra: Working with you gave me the chance to work with brands I wouldn't even imagine could fit to my blog. I've worked with bohemian brands from Hawaii, Indonesia, Australia among others, so I'm happy I worked with you guys.
OS: How have you integrated the "maintenance" of your social media feeds with everyday "real" responsibilities? Do you put a lot of planning behind every post or are you more spontaneous?
Carolyn: As with nearly everything in my life, I plan what I can and go with the flow for the rest.
Sandra: I like planning; I focus on quality instead of quantity. On my Instagram I like sharing high quality pictures that will draw people to it. On my blog I try to write one or two posts a week but relevant to my lifestyle and interests.
OS: What is the craziest thing that has happened to you so far because of social media? This can be either working with a "dream brand" or people recognizing you on the streets, to maybe meeting someone who has had a big impact in your life since then.
Sandra: I've had the chance of getting invited to great events, and meeting incredible people.
Carolyn: I love that I never know when I check my feeds/email who will be reaching out to me for a project. I've enjoyed working on collaborations with Nordstrom, Dolce&Gabbana, ABC, and so much more!
OS: Speaking of which, what would be your dream collaboration?
Carolyn: I'd love to collaborate with airlines and hotels for travel posts! Dreaming about Maldives, Bali, Turkey, Morocco...
Sandra: My dream would be to collaborate with Revolve Clothing.

When you are putting together an SEO plan, one of the first items you should consider is what keywords you should try ranking for. It's a basic concept, really.
But the SEO world is a lot more complex than that. You can't just decide you want to rank or a keyword, optimize content on a page, create some links, and suddenly just rank. There's more to it than that. How relevance to a query is evaluated has become far more nuanced.
In order to better understand how Google interprets user intent, Eric Enge advises that you should take a close look at the SERPS for your target phrase to see what currently ranks there. By seeing what you're up against can help you to understand what your chances of ranking are. It can help you better focus on the keywords where you have the best chances of success.
