Toronto, Ontario, Canada – Sept. 28, 2018 — Franchise Holdings International, Inc. (OTCQB: FNHI), the parent company of Worksport LTD Inc., has received a second private label order from a Canada-wide transportation industry master warehouse resulting from a successful growth strategy. Worksport custom-developed the proprietary and patented tonneau cover, modifying one of its principal products. Orders from this industry leader now exceed U.S. $200,000. They are expected to continue and grow significantly throughout the year, said Worksport CEO Steven Rossi. Worksport is an innovative manufacturer of high quality, functional, and aggressively priced tonneau/truck bed covers for the light truck market with a new and innovating growth strategy.
"We are very proud of this second private label order from one of one of Canada's largest master warehouse distributors of automotive accessories directly following a growth investment in FNHI," said Rossi. "It is a testimony to the demand for our proprietary and patented tonneau covers. The product's quality and its innovative characteristics were clearly evident to end users. We expect more orders in the near future as a direct result of our innovative growth strategy."
Private label manufacturing: a factor in future Worksport growth strategy
Private label manufacturing will be a large factor in our ambitious future growth strategy, noted Rossi. "This buyer enjoys sales of several hundred million dollars. They have been a leader in the industry since the 1960s. With warehouse locations in every major Canadian city, totaling millions of square feet," Rossi added. "Its catalog includes thousands of light truck and trailer products, to a fast-growing private label line of car and truck accessories. They are distributed by the company's own logistics organization. Consumers see their trucks every day on highways across North America."
Unsolicited inquiry begins new Worksport U.S. sales effort
A major purchaser of private label tonneau/truck bed covers in the U.S. recently has also begun discussions with Worksport. The U.S. company is now sampling and testing Worksport's proprietary and patented tonneau covers. It believes they display much higher quality than its present, well-known supplier, Rossi said. "FNHI has recently secured the rights to use the Worksport label and logo in the U.S.," Rossi added. "The new private label discussions are a direct result of our ability to revive and grow our sales in the U.S. These two developments demonstrate the momentum that's occurring across the continent and show the beginning of a successful growth strategy."
Rossi said that FNHI will update investors continually as these relationships expand.

A Goofy Movie – 2018 Bigger Picture Show
2018 marked the 9th Annual Bigger Picture Show, presented by Lodge Design & Marketing, benefitting the Indy Film Fest. This year's theme was the 90s!
On Friday, April 13, 2018, 95 movie posters were auctioned off at the Circle City Industrial Complex for the Bigger Pictures Show. All proceeds went to the Indy Film Fest.
For this year's event, I designed and illustrated a poster for a wonderful 90s Disney movie (and one of my all-time favorites), A Goofy Movie.
I worked on this month-long project after work and on the weekends. I started with initial, thumbnail sketches in the first week and then got into doing tighter sketching. I drew different parts of the scene individually and then photoshopped them together before vectorizing everything. The funny thing is, half way through the month I changed direction in design/illustration – this direction had another character and more scenery than my original design.
Everything in this piece is shaded with halftone dots, subtle shades, and some feathered gradients in select areas. Plus, custom text was created for the word Goofy in the title for this poster, AND my signature is hand-lettered and inspired by the Walt Disney logo.
Click here to see all 95 totally cool 90s movie posters created for the Bigger Picture Show! And, check out my Instagram to view all 5 posts leading up to the night of the show!

Finally, I've just arrived to write this post about these slippers/backless loafers call them whatever you want. Btw, is it just me or the names of shoe type are so confusing? I mean everybody call these shoes differently. Slippers, slip-ons, mules, backless loafers and so on. I refuse to call them mules because in my head mules don't look like these, but on the other hand I get it, they're shoes with high vamp and no back. I still prefer the term backless loafers as I think this one is the most accurate. Because these are basically loafers which have no back.
But back to the start. So many things happened in the last few days that I'm still trying to catch up with myself and I wanted to share this outfit post days ago. But again, it's better later than never, isn't it?
The weather keeps continue this on and off, but mostly off situation, which doesn't give me too much possibilities when it comes to dressing up in the morning, so I keep sticking to my easiest and most beloved routine with a jeans – tee – jacket combo.
And I swear, I love these leather jacket and my khaki parka too but I'm seriously thinking about buying something else, you know, to have more variation at hand. But still don't know what else. I can't find affordable trench coats which I would like to wear and I'm still not sure in denim jackets. But I'll keep my eyes open. Maybe something will come along when I expect the least.
But at least on the bottom front I have no problem at all. In the contrary actually. I'm so in love with everything at the moment that I want to wear everything. And to be completely honest, I don't even need too much brain to do it. Because every shoes on my shoe rack go with every jeans of mine. And I love this feeling.
But on the top front… Hence I have a lot of tops I just don't feel the same affection. Really, I almost just pull something out (now this old yellow one because I still couldn't find better). But maybe this is just the consequence of my addiction of vintage jeans which ruled out most of my skinnies and I'm still figuring it out what to wear to them on the top. And of course I like nothing in fashion stores as something always puts me off, except that one summer top which I can't wear because of the weather. But won't give up, the seeking is still in progress.
So these shoes. They are perfect for me. They have all the right details and everything what I like in shoes. Most importantly they're comfortable and walkable, easy to pull them on and off, have really good quality, they're more on the masculine side but still womanly stylish and give the right coverage so could be worn all the time. I like the metals detail breaks the whole black look and don't give a tinkling sound. 🙂 And this is just my very personal preference but I like shoes with closed toes much more.
Actually I like them so much that I was thinking about buying the leopard ones as well. But I won't. That would be too much shoes (is there such a thing as too much shoes?) and I don't like the fur on those shoes. Plus I'd also prefer the leopard spots to be bigger to look more real if you know what I mean. So there will be no leopard shoes for me but if TopShop made more of these in different colors, still wouldn't know what other color I like so I suppose these (and the loafers by Office Shoes :)) are the ideal shoes for me.
Leather jacket, top and tote – Mango, jeans – vintage Levi's 891, backless loafers – TopShop
Do you like them too? What do you think? And about those confusing names? Or that's just me?

Environmental activists received preliminary city councillor support for a proposed bylaw targeting idling vehicles.
Idling vehicles emit pollutants that affect human health and are responsible for increasing greenhouse gases, Naomi Grant, the chair of Coalition for a Liveable Sudbury, argued. She and Mercedez Quinlan, a member of the organization, stood before the city's policy committee Aug. 11 and asked the city to consider an anti-idling bylaw.
They said fumes from idling vehicles — buses, trucks, or cars — pollute city school yards, residential areas, and streets in Greater Sudbury. Grant said idling increases greenhouse gasses, such as carbon dioxide — a major contributor to climate change — as a product of engine combustion.
Grant cited past actions of EarthCare Sudbury, a local partnership of more than 100 organizations and businesses dedicated to environmental improvement, to educate residents and city departments on reducing pollution caused by idling vehicles.
"The groundwork has already been done," Grant said.
In 2002, led by EarthCare Sudbury, the City of Greater Sudbury held an anti-idling campaign, she said. "Surveys revealed that a very high percentage (close to 90 per cent) of Sudburians believe that turning off their engines is the right thing to do."
The campaign, funded by Natural Resources Canada, was able to reduce idling at various test sites that displayed anti-idling signs by 33 per cent, Bill Lautenbach, Greater Sudbury general manager of growth and development, said.
He added there has been an anti-idling policy in place for city departments and contractors for two years. The policy doesn't affect non-city employees and contractors, however.
One City Taxi cab driver outside the Rainbow Centre, who gave his name as Don, said he turns off his vehicle's engine most times.
"Leaving my engine off means I am not burning gas," he said. "That saves me money."
Ward 12 Coun. Joscelyne Landry-Altmann said she has received complaints about pollution from idling vehicles.
One resident told Landry-Altmann, she suffers from pollution from idling vehicles and supply trucks from the convenience store next door.
In another area of Landry-Altmann's ward, several schools in close proximity to each other had higher-than-normal levels of emissions from school buses loading and unloading students.
She said education was "the way to go," but admitted enforcement of a bylaw could be a challenge.
"You have to catch (idlers) in the act."
Ward 8 Coun. Ted Callaghan, though he said he agreed emissions needed to be curtailed, said the city might not be able to enforce yet another bylaw.
He suggested the coalition make a formal presentation to the Sudbury and District Health Unit, since the health unit would have the necessary expertise as to the effects of pollutants on human health. He noted city staff could help with the presentation.
Quinlan said in some jurisdictions, it is the health units that enforce anti-idling bylaws, much as with the current anti-smoking measures.
All councillors present agreed the major stakeholders, environmental groups, EarthCare Sudbury and the Sudbury and District Heath Unit should come together to discuss developing the contents of a proposed bylaw and how it could be enforced. Public education would also be necessary, they said.
The stakeholders with staff support could present a report back to council later in the fall, committee members agreed.
Facts presented in a 2000 EarthCare Sudbury employee awareness tool kit CD on climate change:
- Idling is a waste of gasoline-tests by the federal government have shown that no more than 30 seconds of idling is required to circulate engine oil before driving away even on cold days;
- The best way to warm a vehicle is to drive it, not idle the engine;
- Every 10 minutes of idling costs the driver one-tenth of a litre in wasted fuel and up to four tenths of a litre if your vehicle has an eight-cylinder engine;
- Idling can damage an engine because the engine is not working at peak efficiency, leaving fuel residues that can tend to deposit on spark plugs — as the amount of engine idling increases, the average spark plug temperature drops and plug fouling is increased, in turn increasing fuel consumption in a vicious circle;
- Using a block heater to warm the the engine in winter before starting it can reduce idling, reducing engine wear, improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions up to 20 percent in cold conditions-use an automatic timer to turn on the block heater two hours before starting the vehicle.

International Guy: London (International Guy Series, Book Seven)
International Guy: London (International Guy Series, Book Seven) by Audrey Carlan wrings out all the feels, makes you wish for a freezing cold shower, and gives your heart exactly what it needs!
From Audrey Carlan, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Calendar Girl series.
London, England. International Guy is now in service to the queen—of romance novels.
I'd heard of Geneva James, the smashingly sexy, phenomenally successful British author whose steamy novels make her readers' fantasies real. Now she's hard at work on her latest piece of sizzling fiction—or at least, would like to be. It turns out that a case of writer's block is making it hard for Geneva to bring her latest book to its climax.
That's where International Guy comes in.
She's desperately in need of inspiration—and open to any kind of help International Guy can give her. Her entire career may be riding on how this fan-favorite story ends. The last thing she wants is to disappoint her fans. The last thing I want is to disappoint Geneva. Luckily, inspiring women is my specialty. Bringing Geneva out of her funk is business. It's also going to be a pleasure. With my team in play, I have no idea how this story is going to end.
Tracey's Review:
Audrey Carlan knows how to keep me invested in her characters and her stories and London is no exception. My heart was broken and I didn't know how and when Audrey was going to put it back together again. She left us all wondering where this series was going to go and we were all pretty shaken up in Montreal and thank goodness London has arrived. We get some much needed answers that I could have screamed at her for making me wait for....who am I kidding? I did. Of course, she makes it worth the wait!
Every book Ms. Carlan writes reminds me of the value of life and love and friendship. This story solidifies that fact more than ever before. Chapter two makes me cry and laugh and burst with love and feel everything you can imagine. This team of people is incredible and we should all be so lucky to have our own tribe like that to enhance our lives.
In every tragedy, we have to pick up our broken pieces and move forward so the hard parts of life don't swallow us whole. Everyone experiences monumental moments in their life that change and shape the person you are and it's extraordinary. Even shattered pieces of our heart can weave themselves back together as long as we live our life to the fullest. When I boil right down to it, every book teaches me something I didn't even realize I needed at that point in my life which proves time and time again how fantastic of a story teller Audrey Carlan is.
Since the beginning of my review seems heavy, here is the lighthearted part, lol.
AC makes my heart sing in London. Who doesn't know what it's like to meet their favorite author and have a total fan girl moment? And if you haven't met them yet, you imagine what it would be like. This story is sweet and endearing, but it is also spicy and hot....like panty melting hot. Geneva needs help fighting her writers block and she gets it in more ways than one with the help of Parker, Sky, and Bo. Wait until Sophie pops up and even more drama unfolds. You will swoon, laugh, sigh and be giddy as friends and lovers come together in a perfect blend of harmony that only Audrey Carlan can deliver.♥

Both parcels of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay were handpicked and gently pressed to stainless steel tank for cold settling. Clarified juice was then fermented at cool temperatures. The wine was then held on lees in stainless steel tank and stirred weekly for 3 months before secondary fermentation was undertaken in bottle. The wine has spent 18 months on lees and has great bottle ferment characteristics.
A text book season of warm days cool nights. Winter rain recharged the soil profile in time for spring to kick off with good vigour, resulting in perfect flowering and fruit set.

Australia's five major capital cities have recorded no weekly change in their combined home values, despite an improvement in the auction clearance rate.
However, CoreLogic data shows home values for the capital cities were down 1.1 per cent in the year to date and up only slightly compared to a year ago.
As for auctions, the number of homes that went under the hammer in the week ending April 15 were 1,890, similar to a year ago, while the clearance rate improved by 1.7 per cent to 64.5 per cent.
The number of home loan approvals for owner occupiers fell 0.2 per cent in February, beating market expectations of a 0.4 per cent fall.
The value of total housing finance was up one per cent at $33.524 billion for the month, seasonally adjusted data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows.
The value of new home loan approvals for owner-occupiers was up 1.3 per cent, while the value of investor loans was up 0.5 per cent.
Rising power prices are considered one of Australia's biggest challenges but they aren't always bad news - particularly if you're a solar energy company.
The Smart Energy Council - which encourages people to install solar panels and battery storage in their homes along with smart computers to run them - says skyrocketing costs have encouraged more and more people to adopt greener technology.
"It's all about economics," chief executive John Grimes told AAP at the council's annual expo in Sydney on Tuesday.
"For the first time, you're like the rat that can get out of the maze. You can set up your own system and you don't need to worry about that anymore."
Mr Grimes said about 100,000 properties across the country have installed smart systems since 2010 - about 35,000 of those coming in 2017 alone.
Redback Technologies - which offers combined solar, battery and intelligent computer systems - says sales reflect increased enthusiasm for the technology.
"The uptake is increasing month by month," the company's sales director Tim Latimer told AAP.
"Energy prices are the number one concern for most people that are looking into getting into solar and having battery storage on the house - that and disenfranchisement with the network."

17th April 2011
Hi everyone I'm back with my second journal! Well this week I've been a busy bee first of all I had the Titanic 10k on Sunday which went OK but it was really hot and they ran out of water so there were a few casualties!!! Once i got over the shock of the heat and i settled into it i do think my breathing had defiantly improved slightly which is great news considering the conditions and i was able to make it the whole way round without stopping though a lot slower than i would have liked but hey we cant have everything all at once I am only a beginner after all and a beginner with very sore feet!!!
On Monday then I did 10k interval training again which is were you run 1k then walk for a couple of minutes, run for 1k walk for a couple for minutes etc as this pushes me I'm not sure i am seeing much improvement with my breathing with this task yet but i have to do this several more times before the big day so hopefully by next week I'll see a change.
Tuesday then i went to body balance which is a combination of yoga, Tai Chi and pilates I love this class its great of stretching and also i know this may sound ridiculous but it calms the mind so its good for the soul! Nothing too strenuous on Tuesday because on Wednesday I tackled 22miles.....and it was no pretty picture in the cold and rain! I am defiantly finding that after about 3miles i settle my breathing and can go much further having said that though i did walk up the big hills i came across but only because my legs were tired and i wanted to make it to the end! I did find myself getting quite emotional when the end was in sight as I had absolutely nothing left in the tank as they say and I'm still getting my head around the fact that in 2 weeks I've to add another 4 miles onto that distance!
Thursday then was a rest day the only exercise i did was my usual daily routine of 30 breaths in the morning and the same again that night. I've managed to up the level to nearly 2 this week so i must be getting used to doing it. Friday i had planned on running 10 miles after work but unfortunately i caught a bug (disaster!!!) so i actually couldn't even put the POWERbreathe machine near me that day but hallelujah it only lasted 24hrs and i was back on form on Saturday and i ran 10 miles first thing in the morning though it was not my finest as my legs felt like lead and i was quite breathless so i had to walk a lot of it but that was all probably because i hadn't been very well! As Saturday had been such a disaster i decided i should give it another go on Sunday and off i went but this time it was much better my legs weren't as sore or heavy and i defiantly was getting further without having to walk for a bit.
I haven't had time yet to vary my POWERbreathe routine but for the next 2 weeks the mileage i have to cover for training calms down so i am looking forward to trying out the DVD and getting to grips with it properly! All this torture is for a great cause so if you have a few pennies to spare please sponsor me at: Sponsor Joanne and Andrea well that's all for now folks!

Well I was supposed to do the Mother's Day run this morning but it just didn't work out. Firstly, I slept in and missed my tram (why the hell do they organise these events for before the trains start running? The only transport option I had was to catch the very first tram at some ungodly hour) so I figured I'd drive instead. I chucked my clothes on then grabbed the race pack out of my bag so I could put my timing chip on my shoe.
Got to the Tan and half the roads were closed for the run so I drove around looking for a park, freaking out because it was getting late. I found some parking but thought it was too far away and i'd not get to the start line on time – big, big mistake! Kept driving and because of the closed roads, ended up on St Kilda Rd and forced into the city. I hadn't even thought about road closures or where to park cos I'd planned on catching the tram.
Sitting in traffic, I figured I might as well put my race number and be ready. I searched through my bag. No envelope. Yikes! Then I realised, I'd sat it on my bed when I got my chip out… and it was still there.
I figured I could park in Fed Square car park. Now remember, I NEVER drive into the city – why the hell would I do that since it takes 10-20 mins on the train, so I know nothing about parking. It took forever to get into Fed Square then got around to a corner and realised I wasn't go into the car park but still in a line of about 20 cars trying to get in there… and it was moving very, very slow.
By this stage, I was nearly in tears with frustration. I'd well and truly missed the start of my run but thought maybe I could sneak into the 8 km start, well except I didn't have my number either. I felt so bad because I'd talked Simon into doing the run and he was there on his own.
I tried to call him but my frigging phone was out of credit.
I figured I should at least park somewhere and take my timing chip back and watch Simon finish but could only find 1 hr meters in the city. Drove around another 300 city blocks and, other than pay $$$ for some car park, couldn't park anywhere.
I bashed the steering wheel a lot and said some cuss words then decided to screw it and come home. I think I'll go for a run on my own later.

GIGLIO, Italy (AP) – Divers have recovered nearly all of the bodies from the wreck of the Costa Concordia, two months after the cruise ship struck a reef and capsized off Italy's Tuscan coast. Italy's Civil Protection Agency said that by late afternoon divers had brought up all five bodies located by search crews last week in the wreck off Giglio island.

|The Walking Men
|Threat Level
|Active Status
|Other Names
|Forest Giants
Description: The Walking Men are a species of giant, human-like creatures that are believed to reside in heavily forested areas in the state of California. They're usually around 200 feet tall, but the fact that they only come out at night and keep to the forests makes identification of unique physical attributes difficult. They wake up some nights and walk towards nearby cities. The Bureau usually intervenes before they can arrive, meaning any kind of tracking is essentially impossible.
Edit 6/15/14: I actually got a good look at one. I included the information below.
- Fire Hopper-3
Background: Information regarding their origins is scant at best. We haven't managed to find any references to creatures like them in the mythology of the indigenous tribes1, so its unlikely these things have been active for more than two hundred years.
The first encounter with the creatures made by the Wayward Society occurred in 1999 after an investigation of the Big Bar Complex wildfire. The incident was suspected of being caused by the Bureau in an attempt to cover up aberrant activity within the forest, and during a covert investigation of the site, the severed and burned finger of a deceased creature was discovered. The finger was roughly one foot in length.
Following the incident, outfits have been irregularly commissioned to patrol areas of forest which have previously been affected by Bureau intervention. Outfits have also been commissioned to covertly assess areas affected by California wildfires for suspected aberrant activity.
Edit 6/15/14: New evidence suggests that the Walking Men are the creation of the Fringe group "Phoenix Initiative".
- Fire Hopper-3
Edit 6/16/14: The hell's the Phoenix Initiative?
- Anonymous
Location and Population: A count of the population of the Walking Men is currently impossible, due to the fact that they have never been observed together. What is known is that they live, hibernate, or manifest within dense forest areas in California and begin to travel towards the nearest city between the hours of 11 PM and 4 AM.
Hunting or Procurement Methods: Combat tactics are currently unavailable due to lack of engagement with the entities. Information about hunting methods is currently in high demand.
Edit 6/15/14: You'd probably want to set up a trip-wire trap to get it to fall over. They don't seem to care that much about what's in front of them.
- Fire Hopper-3
Encounter Records:
Additional Notes: Currently, it is advised that all Warders attempting to combat, investigate, or otherwise encounter one of the Walking Men bring adequate means to vacate the area as quickly as possible to avoid being caught in the Bureau's arial bombardment.
Investigation into the fate of Joice Tremetra is ongoing is no longer of any concern.

Scientists 'prove' that time travel will always be impossible by building a toy version of the Big Bang
If you've long harboured a fantasy of firing up the Delorean and becoming the next Marty McFly, then sadly it looks like your time-travelling dreams have finally been dashed.
For scientists at the University of Maryland claim to have proved that time travel is impossible and will forever remain a Hollywood invention.
Igor Smolyaninov and Yu-Ju Hung have built a toy version of the Big Bang - the point at which the universe was created around 13.7 billion years ago.
Going out with a bang: Scientists in the U.S. claim their experiment proves time travel is impossible
The desktop experiment simulates how light and timed flowed during the Big Bang - but not the explosion itself.
According to the research, it could help explain why time only marches forward and disorder increases - why we only get older not younger and why a smashed plate cannot become unbroken.
In a report in Physical Review Letters, Smolyaninov describes their work as 'simple experimental geometry'.
For the experiment, researchers took strips of acrylic and gold called metamaterial, and arranged them to twist light in unusual ways.
These substances can be thought of as 'invisibility cloaks', bending light around objects to disguise them.
Shed some light: An image from inside 'Big Bang-in-a-box'
It has also been claimed that metamaterial can mimic astronomical events such as a planet orbiting a star or how light behaves in a black hole.
When a laser hit the metamaterial, it excited waves of plasmons on the surface - which appeared to only move in one direction.
The movement is the same as how massive particles move through time and space - creating a Big Bang-like moment.
At first the scientists believed they could create time travel - by building a metamaterial in which light moving in a circle was mathematically identical to particles moving through time, then sending a plasmon on a circular orbit bringing it back to the same point it started.
Mystery solved? A diagram of the Big Bang
No firing up the Dolorean: Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown and Michael J Fox as Marty McFly in the film Back To The Future
But it turns out to be even more complicated than that - for the specific light that is need to interact with particles travelling through time cannot go in a circle.
'Time travel in this model looks like it's impossible,' said Smolyaninov.
However the research team did acknowledge that the the experiment was not absolute in its findings.
'It will never give you the real final answer about the real Big Bang and real time,' said Smolyaninov. 'But if you study it, you may discover something, and you may be able to ask more intelligent questions.'
For example, it could help scientists understand more about the 'Big Crunch' - one scenario on the fate of the universe when the constant expansion of light and time from the Big Bang reverses and the universe collapses into a black hole.

Summer days are gone and the cool breeze of Fall is moving in. With it it will bring new beginnings, like the start of school, football season, pumpkin spice lattes (or pumpkin spice everything), and the beautiful colors of the leaves as they change and fall. And fashion can have a new beginning, too. Color trends shift with the season and we are ready! So what are the colors of note this Fall? According to Pantone, the swatches below represent the nuetrals of Fall 2018.
But if you aren't a fan of all the neutrals you are in luck this season. Colors are rich and bold this Fall. Pantone especially pointed out the 10 shades below as the trendy colors for the Fall.
Pantone's "Nebulas Blue" and "Quetzal Green" are well represented below with our new peacock blue agate and teal agate stones. We have teal tassels too!
More Pantone shade like "Meerkat," "Tofu," "Russet Orange" and "Quetzal Green" are represented in this new collection of pieces below. These fossil stones (as they are called) are so beautiful and unique and mix beautifully with the geometric gold components.
Our Tassels and Tortoise pieces below show off the neutrals like "Buff" and "Meerkat." Tortoise is huge this Fall! It's so fun and goes with everything!
We love the bright colors in the mix this Fall. Bright red or "Valiant Poppy" mix so well with the "Quiet Grey" neutral. You can check out both these color combos below with our Labradorite stone jewelry and our beautiful red genuine coral pieces.
What's your favorite shade this season?
Wishing you and your families a wonderful Fall!

Savanna – thank you for going above and beyond to make our wedding day so perfect. You were a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process. I appreciated your timely response to all my questions and your willingness/flexibility to do what would make us happy. September 24th was perfect (and I'm not just talking about the weather). With your guidance, the Upper Canada Ballroom was transformed into the most beautiful reception area – I absolutely loved everything about the set-up. Once our guests arrived, the service was excellent. The food quality and presentation exceeded expectations and no one went long without a full drink in their hands. Overall, it really was the most perfect day and one I'll remember forever. I will recommend the Pillar and Post to my friends and family (and colleagues for work functions), and some of the other vendors we chose…specifically Frank Krahan who was amazing on piano, Joel Hannigan, our wonderful photographer, and Simply Beautiful Decor.
From Joel Hannigan:
LeeAnne and Joseph: smiles all around
I had yet to actually cry at a wedding (honestly…not trying to be a tough guy) but there was a time during LeeAnne and Joseph's day that I was wiping away some tears. Mind you they were me from laughing historically during a reception speech. But still their day brought me to tears!

A team of Accenture analysts will analyse nearly two million rows of data during each Six Nations rugby match this year in a bid to provide fans with better insight.
IT service provider Accenture, which powers the official RBS 6 Nations mobile app, will rely on in-house data experts and analytics tools to offer match data analysis.
"The aim of the analysis team is to give fans insight they wouldn't have had before," said Nick Millman, MD of big data and analytics delivery at Accenture.
"The combination of the highest quality data, innovative analytics and one of the best minds in rugby can change how fans view the game."
The analysts will be joined by Nick Mallett, former head coach for Italy and South Africa national rugby union teams. Mallett guided the Italians as head coach through four RBS 6 Nations Championships and the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
Accenture said that Mallett will bring useful rugby insight and complement the team's data analysis expertise, helping fans to see beyond raw match data.
Mallett commented: "The level of data insight Accenture's analysis team will be looking to produce for fans during this year's tournament is normally only available to international coaches. I believe the combination of the smartest analysts, Accenture's analytics tools and indexes, and a layer of human insight will give rugby fans a glimpse of the real reasons behind game-changing moments on the pitch. I'm excited to be part of this insight curation with Accenture to further improve the RBS6N fan experience."
The company said its analysis team will provide insights during all 15 RBS 6 Nations games taking place at Twickenham, Murrayfield, Millennium Stadium, Aviva Stadium, Stade de France and Stadio Olimpico.

The Self-Love Diet
By Estela Schnelle MS, RDN
The importance of self-care or self-love among care-givers is finally starting to be recognized as critical for our physical, emotional, and mental well-being. We can practice self-love in so many ways - by going for a walk, taking time to laugh with friends, stepping away from social media for regular digital detoxes, or even just giving our bodies permission to rest. With Mother's Day quickly approaching, it's time for moms to give themselves a little break and practice a bit of self-love. Often times, though, it's hard for moms to step away and begin a practice of self-love. Here are a few tips and tricks for mastering The Self-Love Diet in the midst of the hustle and bustle of our daily lives.
Start With Love
A self-love diet, first and foremost, starts with love and connecting with the idea that we deserve to feel good in our bodies. When we start loving ourselves more, we naturally start choosing to nourish ourselves with healthy food choices - nutrient-rich, real, whole foods that will make us feel amazing from the inside out. When we fill our bodies with a combination of lean proteins, healthy fats and fiber-rich carbohydrates, this not only satiates us, it helps to stabilize our blood sugar and gives us the sustained energy needed to feel fabulous during our favorite Pilates, Yoga or Barre classes.
Find Balance
Balance is important; this includes giving ourselves permission to have the occasional treat without feeling guilty or ashamed about what we ate. The key is to make a conscious decision to indulge, eat only the amount that our body is physically hungry for, and fully enjoy what we are eating without guilt or shame.
Eat Mindfully
We show our bodies love by embracing mindful eating. It's important to put away distractions like our phone, computer or TV so that we can be present with our food, eating slowly and tasting every bite of our food. This will enable us to not only enjoy our food but to notice when our hunger levels begin to decrease. When our stomach is physically full, it's time to stop eating. Self-love also means listening to what our bodies truly need, including connecting to the amount of food that we are physically hungry for.
Trust Your Body
We are the best judge of what's working for our bodies. For example, if there's a particular diet that works for others, but makes us feel unwell, then it isn't right for us. It's important for us to respect our bodies by trusting what it's telling us.
Let Go of Perfection
When we aim for diet perfection, we don't make room for real life situations where we need (or want) flexibility to deviate from our diet. And, because no one is perfect, it's inevitable that things won't always go the way we want them to. When this happens, often times we end up feeling 'less than' because we have created an unattainable goal for ourselves. Sometime it's important to allow our best to be good enough.
Be Kind To Yourself
If we fall off track with our food, it's important to stop the voices in our heads from telling us that we are not good enough. Those seemingly harmless whispers are toxic and can take a major toll on our self-worth. It's time to change how we speak to ourselves. Each time we catch our inner critic on the attack, hit pause and say, "No, I won't talk to myself like this. I deserve better." Then, we can embrace the kind and compassionate words that we deserve to hear.

Some 'Hunger Games' filler.
I just finished reading The Hunger Games trilogy. I stayed up to the wee hour of 10:48 p.m. last night to read the final pages of Mockingjay. Don't worry, I'm not gonna spoil it for you and tell you that they all die. I KID. They don't! I mean, some do! But. Wait. Fuck.
It was a good, little trilogy. I'm a bit over the love-triangle, mopey-girl-can't-choose-between-two-boys storyline (yes, Bella Swan, I'M LOOKIN' AT YOU), but at least Katniss Everdeen has a spine. Katniss is empowered and badass and doesn't teach young girls who read the series that OH MY GOD YOU WILL JUST DIE IF THIS BOY DOES NOT LOVE YOU!1!!1!11
I love you, Twilight. No really. I totally do. Guilty!
I'm just sayin'.
With that said, I can't even say I really like Katniss, because a lot of the time I didn't. To be fair, it was only when she was in her Gale or Peeta? Gale or Peeta? Wah, life is hard, I don't love EITHER of them. OR DO I? BUT WHICH ONE! Neither! Gale or Peeta? I FEEL SO BAD! phases. The rest of the time she was killer.
Of course, as predicted, I'm super pumped for the first movie to come out in March. It'll help me drown the pain of an ended Harry Potter series and an almost-over Twilight series. Because I'm a total nerd, I went to www.thecapitol.pn to find out (!!) what Capitol District (!!) I'm in!! It just... delegates you. So, it turns out I'm in District 12. THAT'S RIGHT. I'm just hanging out with Katniss and Peeta and Gale. Well, you know, if they weren't all dead.

· Within the first 24 hours: You will wash your eyebrows 3 times with gentle facial cleanser (antibacterial dial soap).
· Apply the prescribed product (grape seed Oil) with freshly washed hands for 7-10 days. Never rubbing always patting. Keep the brows lightly lubricated never allowing them to be extremely dry or scab. DO NOT WET for 7-14 days!
· LESS IS MORE! On average apply ointment once a day (Up to 3 times only if needed) enough to moisturize. Never using too much. Brows should not look too shiny. If area gets itchy DO NOT scratch, simply pat.
· DON'T scrub, rub or pick at the crust that forms. Allow it to flake off by itself. If it is removed before it is ready, then the pigment underneath it can potentially be pulled out. Use Sterile Bandage(s) or other sterile dressing(s) when necessary.
· DON'T use any makeup near the procedure area. For at least 2 weeks Minimize Sun Exposure, discourage swimming.
What's normal?
· Mild swelling, itching, light scabbing light bruising and dry tightness.
· Color change/loss, and slightly uneven appearance: After7-10 days the darkness will fade and once swelling dissipates small unevenness usually appears. The color will lighten and sometimes seem to disappear. If they are too light/dark or still a bit uneven after 6 weeks then we will make any adjustments during the touch-up appointment after the skin heals. The procedure area has to be completely healed before we can address any concerns! This takes about 6 weeks. This is why the 1ST TOUCH-UP APPOINTMENT IS NECESSARY.
· Needing a Touch-up months or years later: A touch-up maybe needed 6 months to a year after 1st Touch-up procedure depending on your skin, medications, lifestyle and sun exposure. I recommend the 1st Touch-up 6 weeks after the first session (not included in today's price) and every 6 months to a year to keep them looking fresh and beautiful. Color duration depends on many factors but primarily depends on how Oily the skin is. The Oiler the skin, the shorter the color lasts. Sweating and Sun Exposure also reduce color fastness. On average, expected time until a new color refreshment is between 9-12 months. With oily skin it is up to 6 months.
NOTE: The Client shall consult a Health Care Practitioner at the first sight of infection or any allergic reaction, and report any diagnosed infection, allergic reaction, or adverse reaction resulting from the Tattoo to the Artist and the Louisiana Department of State Health Services.
The eyelash cycle is approximately four to twelve weeks. Do not be alarmed if some of your lashes fall out quickly (they most likely were at the end of their cycle). The majority of extensions will stay through a complete cycle if you follow these guidelines:
The first 24 hour curing period is vital for maximum lash retention. During the first 24 hours following your lash service you need to:
Keep your eyelashes COMPLETELY DRY, getting them wet interrupts the curing process and will cause premature shedding. Steam from showering or cooking, sweat from working out, moisture from facial services can all be harmful to your new lash extensions. If you must wash your face, please use a washcloth and avoid your lash line.
After the 24 hour curing period
At this point your lashes are completely cured and resistant to water and sweat. Feel free to get them wet without worry. For maximum lash retention and HEALTHY lash care, here are a few tips:
Avoid oil based skincare products around the eye. Oil breaks down the lash adhesive and can cause premature shedding.
Do not use regular or waterproof mascara. Most brands of mascara contain chemical properties and oils that will break down the adhesive. Removing mascara from your lashes can cause the extensions to fall off prematurely as well. If you want to further enhance your lash extensions, we have a specially formulated eyelash extension mascara that is ideal for coating your extensions. Ask your Lash Artist at Le Petit Studio for more information.
CLEANSE YOUR LASHES!!! Using the oil free eye cleanser that Le Petit Studio provides is recommended but you can also use a mixture of baby shampoo diluted with water is perfect for cleaning your lashes and your lash line. Simply using distilled water works as well. Use your clean mascara wand to brush away any debris and to help separate your lashes so they do not dry clumped together.
What to expect over the next few weeks
Lash extensions are semi-permanent and shed with your natural eyelashes. Typically, you lose between (approximately) 1 and 6 natural lashes, per eye, everyday. This is perfectly normal. You may experience more or less daily shedding depending on your lash shed cycle and home care of your lashes. As you begin to lose more and more over the course of the next 2-3 weeks, you can opt for a lash fill. This is where lashes are applied to the areas that have shed. Between 2 and 3 weeks is the best time to return for a lash fill. Waiting too long, when too many lashes have shed, can result in having to get a new full set. It is much more cost effective to keep up with your fill appointments!
REMEMBER: Do not attempt to remove the extensions yourself. Have them removed by your professional Lash Artist at Le Petit Studio.
Contact your Contact your Lash Artist at Le Petit Studio with any questions or concerns.
Enjoy your new lashes!

Murray a 'must' vote, Biden tells Vancouver voters
VANCOUVER, WASH. - Vice President Joe Biden told Democratic supporters in southwest Washington on Tuesday that they have a "stark choice" this November and must send Sen. Patty Murray back to Congress.
"If we do not prevail in this election, we will be set back for a long time," Biden told more than 760 people gathered at Vancouver's Pearson Air Museum.
Biden railed against the legacy of Republican leadership of Congress, saying that the current administration inherited from the GOP many of the problems that led to the current economic situation.
"These guys did nothing, nothing to fix the problems," he said. "They drove us into this great recession."
Biden said that if re-elected, "Patty will be the person at the dike with her finger in the hole."
Murray, a three-term incumbent first elected in 1992, has won re-election twice by wide margins. But polls show her in a competitive race against Republican Dino Rossi, a former state senator who lost gubernatorial races in 2004 and 2008.

Posted 02 February 2018 | By Michael Mezher
The UK's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) on Wednesday signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to exchange information on new areas of drug and medical device regulation.
The MoU was signed by MHRA Chief Ian Hudson and CFDA Director Bi Jingquan during UK Prime Minister Theresa May's visit to China. Both May and Chinese Premier Li Keqiang presided over the signing.
According to MHRA, the MoU will focus on exchanging information learned from the agency's Accelerated Access Review (AAR) and on how best to regulate the sale of medicines online.
The new MoU also builds on a 2014 agreement between the two countries to exchange safety information about drugs and devices.
"China is a world leader in the market for raw materials for the pharmaceutical industry and closer collaboration with MHRA will support the promotion of innovation, good practice, and protect UK patients," said Hudson.
For its part, CFDA has made strides in the last year to update its regulation of drugs, medical devices and clinical trials, and recently joined the International Council for Harmonization (ICH) as a regulatory member.
The agreement also comes as the UK and EU prepare to enter the next round of Brexit negotiations. While the two parties have adopted guidelines and outlined their goals for the continued talks, the specifics of how the UK and EU will interface on drug and device regulation post-Brexit are still being worked out.

Brownback Tries to Restore FCC's Profanity Power
Senator and presidential candidate Sam Brownback (R-Kan.)--who helped get the FCC's indecency fines increased 10-fold--wants to give the commission back the profanity enforcement power a federal court decision essentially took away, and add violence regulation to its resume.
Brownback, a member of the Senate Appropriations committee, said Tuesday that he will offer two amendments to a general government appropriations bill Thursday, July 12, one that would "continue support for the FCC to fine broadcasters who air indecent, profane, or obscene content," and another that would "fine broadcasters for airing excessively violent content during the hours when children are most likely to be in the audience."
The profanity amendment, though sounding rather vague on the issue of fleeting profanities, would attempt to gut a decision by the second Circuit Court of Appeals that held the FCC's policy of finding "fleeting profanities" indecent was unjustified and likely unjustifiable, a decision the Parents Television Council (PTC) calls "absurd."
While the court told the FCC it could come back with a better justification for the profanity policy, it did not hold out much hope the commission could do that. The FCC has not yet said what action it would take, though signals from the chairman suggest it will appeal either to the full appeals court or the Supreme Court.
PTC Tuesday put out a bulletin to its members asking them to contact their legislators urging them to support the profanity amendment. It did not mention the violence amendment, but a source said that was because it did not know about it at the time the bulletin was issued. PTC has said TV violence is a priority issue for it.
The violence amendment is in response to an FCC report to Congress that advised the legislature it could change the definition of indecency to include violence, after which the commission was ready to regulate it.

The Lunecase does does not require a battery or a connection with the phone, but it is able to determine when the iPhone receives an SMS message or a phone call, at which point it lights up an LED on the back of the phone to create a visual notification.
The case is smart enough to tell the difference between the two types of notifications and the LED in the case is powered by energy emitted by the iPhone itself. Eliminating the need for a battery allows the Lunecase to retain a thin form factor while being able to provide notifications. Lunecase was initially shown off at CES 2014, where it received positive reactions.
"Accessories made for the iPhone can sometimes take the beauty and easy functionality away from the phone," said Concepter founder Vlad Tislenko. "Lunecase brings the back of your phone to life and enhances the natural iPhone functionality with no batteries, no cords and no bulk."Currently, Concepter is creating Lunecases for the iPhone 5/5s and the iPhone 5c.
A limited number of black Lunecases can be preordered on Kickstarter for $30, with a white Lunecase also available for the iPhone 5/5s for a pledge of $39. Personalized engraving is available for $99, and all Lunecases are expected to ship in August of 2014.

Whole World
I grew up in the church. I went to Sunday School. I sang in the youth choir. I memorized my Easter speeches. I sang, "He's got the whole world in his hands" loud, so everyone could hear. I remember thinking, "how big are God's hands?" I never remember having any doubt about who God was or if he existed. I just wanted to know more about his size. It was hard for me to imagine anyone being that big. Sometimes, I wish I could go back before I knew fear and doubt. I wish I could turn off my intellect. I wish I could go back to when I believed in this big God. I still do believe in this big God, but my actions don't always match my faith. I still do believe that He is in control, but my actions don't always show my surrender. I still do believe that my life and times are in his hands, but sometimes I forget how big his hands really are. They are big enough to hold the whole world, me and you, yo' momma and yo' cousin too!

You're probably thinking what the?! The most simplest hair tool used daily and most people are using them incorrectly, even myself. Then a friend told me the "right" way. In these 22 years of my life (well make that around 13 years counting from when I had first started using these), I've always believed that the way to use them is the way they're shown when you purchase them, the wavy side up right? Wrong. It's the wavy side down. Having the wavy side down, means the end of the grip can scoop the hair into the grip. The waves is designed to keep your hair in place and the straight side is meant to push the hair into the waves and to prevent hair from sliding out.
Thinking about this, I have noticed that when I've used it wavy side up, I do get bits of fly away hair coming lose and out of the waves meaning I'd have to constantly take them out and put them in again. Since using it the "correct" way, there is a massive difference. Bits of fly away hair doesn't come lose anymore. It's the little things that makes a difference.
Did you know about this? Do you think there is a right and wrong way of using them?

A manual for clinics, community health centres and district hospitals
4th Edition
by E Buchmann, R Van der Walt, J Geldenhuys et al.
National Maternity Guidelines Committee, National Department of Health, Republic of South Africa, 2015
174 pp. 3.9 MB
The National Department of Health has identified maternal health care as a priority area requiring urgent action in South Africa. This is in line with the target to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) as the targets set in the National Development Plan (NDP). There is a continuing global commitment to reduce the unacceptably high maternal death rates in low to middle-income countries (LMIC). Progress towards this goal in South Africa demands national co-ordination and co-operation with the major role players in provision of health services, addressing causes of maternal and perinatal deaths and in making available clinical management protocols to ensure that high quality health services are rendered.

A Leighton Buzzard business with community spirit has raised £522 for charity.
Kind staff from C&C Training Ltd, along with their sister centre in Bury St Edmunds, originally set a target of £400 and were thrilled to donate their total to Leighton Buzzard's Hospice at Home Volunteers and Over the Rainbow Children's Charity (near Bury).
The fundraising took place in December, with the two directors Charlie Cadman and Ruth Crothers kindly donating luxury Christmas hampers as prizes for delegates, staff, and clients from the two C&C Training centres.
Ruth Crothers, finance and operations director, said: "I'm delighted C&C is supporting Hospice at Home Volunteers. Life can be hard work without the added complication of being ill; if the money we have raised goes towards helping others through difficult times, it is worth every penny."
The hospice is looking for volunteers: 01525 854713.

To be defined as sexual exploitation, 3 things are required; a trafficker, a sex-trade buyer and a sexually exploited person.
How Does it Happen?
Many of our most marginalized community members are recruited or coerced into sexual exploitation due to complex poverty, social isolation or basic survival. The vast majority of persons being exploited and trafficked are women and girls from Indigenous and other racialize communities. Most of the traffickers and buyers are men. It's important to consider that young men newcomer communities themselves have been selling; did they have a hard time getting a well paying job or face other economic or social barriers?
Sometimes personal power is used to manipulate and harm another person into making them think they "owe" another or are scared to disobey. When there is an unequal balance of power in our society and our relationships we become vulnerable to victimization; to both being exploited or exploiting others.
Sexual exploiters:
"Sexual exploiters are people who seek out and bring children and youth into sexual exploitation and human trafficking. If someone arranges hotels, places ads and drives children or youth for the purposes of exchanging sex for money or goods then that person is a sexual exploiter. Exploiters can be anyone: rich or poor, male or female, young or old. They can pose as a girlfriend or boyfriend, and are manipulative" (Government of Alberta)
Sex Trade buyer:
The people that use their power and money to buy sex from women and children. Sex buyers only care about fulfilling their desires.
Red Flags...Things to watch for
Some examples of what a trafficker (seller) might say to exploit, manipulate and further isolate a vulnerable person.
"I will give you some drugs to make you feel happy"
"Your family will reject you or punish you"
"All these fancy things and drugs I bought you, you have to pay for"
"your parents don't love you" "your parents are too strict" "you'll have a new family"
"you're in Canada now, be a modern girl" "I will take care of you"
"you want some beautiful clothes, a fancy purse? I'll help you to get all that"
The Law In Canada
New legislation BIll C-36, to protect those who sell their own sexual services;
Protect communities (especially children) from the harms caused by prostitution. Bill C-36 http://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/rp-pr/other-autre/c36fs_fi/
The police WILL NOT ARREST those being sexually exploited.
The police WILL ARREST those who are selling and buying sex.
Exploitation On-line
Today most of the buying and selling is happening on the internet. Buyers look on the internet where traffickers put photos of women. Arrangements by text message and through apps, are increasingly common. Currently, young people are using social media means, and they can be reached through this means. It is important to be aware of the dangers; what to look for and what to do if we think someone is being exploited.
Since 75% of people working in the Canadian sex trade began working as a child, the prevention of child and youth sexual exploitation is fundamental in stopping sexual exploitation.
The Protection of Sexually Exploited Children Act (PSECA)
This act recognizes that children involved in sexual exploitation are victims of sexual abuse who need help and protection and have the right to physical and emotional safety, security, and well-being. If a child or youth is involved in prostitution, their family and caregivers do not require child intervention status to receive services.
A child involved in prostitution is placed in a protective safe house and informed why he or she was in a risk situation, how long is he or she going to be in placement, and court dates.
The child has the right to legal representation. For support, contact the OCYA (Office of the Child and Youth Advocate Alberta) Toll-free: (800) 661-3446 or Email: email@example.com
16 to 17-year-old youth, who may not be living at home or have guardian support can access all available support services without parental or guardian permission.
Youth who have an agreement unde PSECA at age 18 can continue to receive support services up to age 24.
In safe houses children are assessed for child-protection needs, medical concerns, drug and alcohol use, family support and their level of risk related to their involvement in sexual exploitation. If the assessment determines that the child needs further protection, he or she will be offered a variety of services including drug and alcohol counselling, medical supports, counselling or psychological services, educational programming, cultural supports and life skills support.
This additional time spent in the protective safe house allows staff to work with the child or youth, help them break the cycle of abuse and begin the recovery.

Energy efficient
That can not be farther from the truth. In one of my previous posts concerning the use of the "System Method of design" I discussed this in greater detail. I've 30 years of experience showing this. The problem is, most designs really are a string of "add-ons" in the name of energy efficiency. Rather than integrating each selection to the design taking into consideration the effect it's on all the different portions of the design, there is the tendency to simply add more of that in the name of energy efficiency. All this does is add price, probably doesn't do much for the energy efficiency since it normally leaves to many connections that are poor, and puts the project over budget. Are you able to say "unrealized"?
Since everything is intertwined in the house, wood flooring installation Santa Cruz and every decision not made before you break ground may also influence the decisions you have made all. This really is among the reasons why it is so important to make these choices early in the design procedure. This also means, since the effect it may have on other systems could in fact drive the price of these other systems down, that even though you may make a decision to choose a more costly option, that decision may actually be the most cost effective choice in the long term. When discussing a number of the hybrid Energy Efficient systems available these days, this theory becomes essential. I've shown my clients you should you not construct an energy efficient residence you'll lose money from the day you move in. There is no "payback" period like in the early days of solar design.
Building an eco-friendly house is not just recycling of soda bottles. There are different elements included and through careful planning, it's possible to build a sustainable, energy efficient new house for loving an eco-friendly living. The planning, location, designing, and landscape have an essential part to play to the construction of a green home.
Facade design has more concerns than aesthetics. A fruitful facade system is one which joins both the great thing about the architect's vision of being energy efficient and the practicality. It is a combination that ensures a quality building that can endure for years to come.
Modest dwelling
However, where does food fit to the home graphic? Well, food is just another basic need. Actually, wouldn't food rank higher? Yes, enter "kitchen, stage right!" (That dates me, doesn't it?) The kitchen is one room to pay careful awareness of when designing and building a dwelling that is small.
You adore the benefits of a dwelling layout that is modest, right? The idea of saving cash while assembling, economy energy every year, as well as the convenience of keeping that little home tidy and neat are appealing advantages.
Do you really and actually want a tiny home? Of assisting people making use of their little house layouts, over the years I've seen one thing. Small house plans grow.
Exactly why is a small house design something for you to think about? Let's take a look at a number of the benefits of employing a little home design to build your home:
Sight lines. This refers to what you see from any point in the house. Vision lines can make a little dwelling feel and look bigger.
Home staging
The staging procedures is not very tough and even a non professional, you, could be able to understand and attain it. Knowing more about layout and home staging can reap you many benefits that are quite desirable. Use these few starting tips and learn a little a lot more to see if maybe you, too, have a future with in the home staging and real estate business.
Flooring surfaces
Select neutral, light colors for floor surfaces, since they will not collide with a buyers' furnishings. Buyers can certainly paint colored walls over, but altering floor surfaces is a lot tougher and expensive. Therefore, the colors when staging your property for resale you bring into play is best left to areas besides flooring.
Buyers think they love Italian tile along with other floor surfaces that are hard, but they actually feel happier when they're walking on softer surfaces like padded carpeting and padded laminate. Nevertheless, you will want to give some serious consideration to the floors at home in case you need to sell fast, as well as for the highest gain.
Solar energy
As it pertains to heat radiation and also the storage of solar power, carpet and vinyl flooring aren't your choices because both produce solar energy and can't radiate heat. Polished concrete on the other hand is an exceptional source to create solar power. That is why a great deal of commercial establishments have switched to the same because they are able to produce a significant amount of energy from solar panel systems.
Polished concrete genuinely stands out compared to its competitors with its amazingly lower maintenance costs and design alternatives that are numerous. Energy conservation, notably solar energy is popular these days because individuals are extremely much aware of the need for bringing down the usage of fossil fuels.
Colors that are powerful
In regards to architecture and interior design, strong colours are frequently a sticking point. Everybody equally calmed is usually left by neutrals. Nonetheless, for injecting style right into a room, strong colours are extremely useful. They create a base for the feel of an area, and help make a space inspirational and memorable. Neutrals are safe (and surely preferable in certain circumstances), but rooms with powerful colours are the ones people remember. We look at the successful ways to utilize powerful colours in a flooring circumstance, with some examples that are visual.
Carpeting flooring
Moisture can seriously damage your carpet flooring in the event you are residing in a humid location. In specific areas, the damage is going to be somewhat reasonable but exceptionally humid conditions can damage carpet flooring. Polished concrete is an excellent option because it can withstand nearly every sort of climate state and with its very low maintenance cost, re-polishing them to bring back their radiance and sophistication might be done in regular periods along with your floor will always appear to be a brand new one.

Well, it has been two months since my second new hip and I am well on the road to recovery. This weekend marks my first gig since the operation and then it is full steam ahead through the summer. All I need to do is spend a couple of days at home getting used to walking in high heels and I will be ready for the road again!
I seem to have recovered much faster this time, and been less immobilised.
When the NHS is under almost continual pressure to improve with less money I have to say they have never been less than perfect in my last couple of visits for surgery.

It was interesting to listen to Mary Fenwick's video on Psychologies Magazine's Facebook page about seeking a job which provides fulfilment.
I'm becoming increasingly disillusioned by my current job and the environment is becoming somewhat toxic, but not sure what else I really want to or can feasibly do while still enjoying a secure income and reasonable working hours.
But after listening to the video and reading about Emilie Wapnick's book How To Be Everything (in a Psychologies magazine article), I'm beginning to think that maybe this counts as what Barbara Sher calls a 'good enough' job, which provides financial security while allowing free time to pursue passions.
"If a job isn't unpleasant, doesn't eat up more than 40 hours a week, pays well, and provides security – it can give you the freedom to do all the things you love on your own time. People complain about unfulfilling jobs until they understand what the good enough job actually is, and then they feel very different about them. Think of it as a job that doesn't bother you, whose only crime is that it's just not enough to fulfill your life. But it provides money and security and the freedom to fulfill your life in your free hours. That sounds like a great job to me."
Maybe reframing the way I see my job in this more positive light will help me to feel less anxious about it and less guilty about continuing in a job that isn't my 'calling' any more. It might free me up from the quest to find a way to make a living from my interests and I'll probably enjoy them more as hobbies anyway than as a full-time job!
Questions raised by the video:
- What could give me a little bit more 'immunisation' to my work environment? e.g. an object I could take in to the office to remind me of my outside interests and happiness (photo, image, touchstone, flower)
- Can I see my job as a 'base' for exploring other possibilities? Particularly making the most of the long holidays.
- How can I contribute towards a happier work environment?
She recommends a few other resources:
- Herminia Ibarra's book, Working Identity
- Shawn Achor's book, The Happiness Advantage and his TED Talk, The happy secret to better work
- Clifton Strengths Finder / GALLUP tool to give a work-based vocabulary to talk about personal strengths and qualities
