Finding a footing in a new industry is always scary, especially in an industry when there's no blueprint to tell you what to do, step-by-step, and when there are countless avenues to pursue. As technology and social media progresses to have an influence on all forms of business, adapting to the evolution of real estate sales is more crucial than ever before.
I don't know what it is about human nature and our obsession with complaining. Most of us go through life talking about what we don't have, the girl we didn't get, or how we got ripped off at some dealership. The truth is, if we all take a deep look at ourselves, we will see that we spend the majority of our time complaining and making excuses for our success, or lack of it.
I don't know what it is about this Culture and our obsession with superheroes. Maybe it's because we all (most of us anyway) aspire to be like them.

Editor's note: As the Juno Awards 2013 prepare to celebrate the best of Canadian music this weekend, Western Journalism students help us celebrate the best in Western Music. Read the full Music Issue.
* * *
In the quiet halls of the Don Wright Faculty of Music building, a female soprano voice reaches for the high notes. A piano accompanies the singer and each time it pauses, a second, stronger voice shows how it should be done. Then the other tries again.
Inside room 302b, Christiane Riel, almost hidden from view, is on the piano. She's in the middle of a lesson with one of her master's students.
An accomplished singer-actress, Montreal-born Riel has been a performer for more than 30 years and opera voice teacher at Western for three. Recognized for the beauty and strength of her voice, the soprano has performed with companies such as West Australia Opera and the Boston Symphony Orchestra throughout Canada, the United States and Australia. Her repertoire includes demanding roles in Don Giovanni, Otello and the title role in Tosca.
Riel was born into a musical family and her earliest memory of being moved by music is from when she was 3-years-old, she said.
"My dad's at the piano and my mom's singing an excerpt from La forza del destino by Verdi. And it's very, very dramatic." Remembering that moment, Riel suddenly bursts into song: "Ma chi giunge? Chi profanare ardisce il sacro loco?"
As she sang with gusto what she had heard from her mother all those years ago, her powerful voice, rising and falling with precision, filled the small room. "Maledizione! Maledizione! Maledizione!"
"It was so overwhelming that at one point I started sobbing and hid under an ashtray table."
As she got older, Riel grew to further appreciate music.
To be an accomplished musician requires three things: natural gift, total devotion and luck, Riel said. Possessing the first two, she has also been lucky in having met great people that have helped her along the way. One of them was her first music teacher, Lina Narducci.
"I don't remember exactly everything she taught me technically, but I remember her passion."
And Riel is now passing that passion onto her students.
Erin Stone, 29, said Riel was her inspiration to apply to the master's program. During her undergrad, Stone went to one of Riel's concerts at Western to see her perform the lead role in Tosca. She was so impressed when she learned Riel would be teaching here, she decided to apply.
"She's one of the most influential people I've ever met. And it would be an understatement to say she's changed my life," Stone said.
Stone graduated this year with a master's in music, specializing in voice, and had her core classes with Riel. She said the reason Riel is successful as a performer is completely reflected in her teaching: she's never satisfied with anything.
Even today when she sings, Stone said she can hear Riel's voice in her head instructing her. "She's a teacher for me for life, for sure."
Remembering her first teacher Riel said, "I want to do for my students what Madame Narducci did for me."
The essence of what she learned from Narducci, Riel expressed in a French saying: "Le savoir-faire, le savoir-vivre et le savoir être." It means, "The knowledge to do it, live it and be it."
She reminds her students music requires dedication and they must love every aspect of it in order to succeed. A quote, which she heard from her husband, says it best: "You've to be born an artist to be able to endure its labour."

I am head over heels for the color and pattern on this lovely Frula dress by British ready-wear label, Erdem, which describes its designs as 'versatile' with 'powerful femininity' - I couldn't agree more! I was lucky to have a perfect blue shoe -- the Valentino Bow d'Orsay peep toe pump which is so gorgeous in either the low or high heel -- but this dress would pair well with a nude or black shoe as well and is truly so versatile you can wear flats, sandals or a pump. Add some sparkle with pretty, colorful drop earrings by Ippolita (clearly a fave of mine!)

If they could earn you a bunch of clients, I would never oppose the idea of you writing free samples for every Tom, Dick, and Harry who shows the slightest ray of hope to give you work.
But, it does nothing for you. Nothing.
Except you end up writing yourself off for someone who-
- Will use your writing.
- Will not pay you for it.
- Will not sign you up for further work.
This breaks my heart. It really does.
If you already have published links and samples of the kind of content this person is asking for, avoid creating another sample "just because they tell you to".
However, if the requirements are very specific and you don't have something that matches what they need, you may write one. May.
Only after you qualify your lead.

What is Review Solicitation?
Yelp defines review solicitation as a business owner asking anyone for reviews or making any organized effort to obtain reviews for their business. This includes, but is not limited to:
· Asking your staff to collect reviews from clients;
· Running surveys that ask customers to leave reviews about positive experiences;
· Requesting friends, family members, or customers to leave reviews on Yelp for your business;
· Contacting your mailing list requesting reviews;
· Offer any form of payment or incentive in return for posting a review.
In the past most business owners were aware of the ethical problems associated with offering any form of compensation or reward for a review, but the concept of being penalized for asking actual clients to post feedback is a shock to many. Yelp's stringent policy makes it difficult for law firms to reach out to actual customers for real feedback.
What are the Penalties?
The "don't ask" review policy being enforced on Yelp threatens business owners with extreme penalties if they are found to be participating in any form of review solicitation. Initially, Yelp will apply a search ranking penalty that reduces a business's Yelp visibility making it harder to attract new clients or benefit from possibly solicited reviews. Should the attempts to boost ranking through feedback manipulation be extreme or continue Yelp will place a consumer alert on the businesses page to warn viewers that the reviews may be purchased, solicited, or otherwise incentivized. The message is highly visible and requires users to manually close the alert leading to a potential loss in business.
How Do I Avoid These Penalties?
The best way to avoid these potentially harmful penalties is by making sure your business complies with Yelp's rules. Currently Yelp provides business owners with free stickers that can be used at your location to reference your business's presence on Yelp encouraging clients to leave reviews without directly asking for reviews.
If you have previously encouraged clients to leave feedback on Yelp and are now not sure where to direct them consider starting or expanding upon a blog that utilizes client feedback. The team at Law Blog Writers, LLC can work with you to create quality content that incorporates legitimate client testimonial in a way that benefits your law firm. Contact us today so that we can begin discussing your business needs and the best way to use your client reviews.

1½ oz Bourbon Whiskey
1 oz Sweet Vermouth
¾ oz Campari
What To Do
Combine all ingredients. Stir. Strain into a chilled rocks glass and garnish with an orange peel. I like to pour mine over a single large ice cube. Release oils from the orange peel and rub around the rim. Serve.
A Few Words
The Boulevardier (pronounced Bul-leh-var-dee-ay) is basically a Negroni with whiskey instead of gin. The drink is credited to Harry McElhone from Harry's New York Bar in Paris in 1927. It's a wonderful drink. Most recipes call for equal parts of each ingredient but I like to make mine a little whiskey forward, especially if you're using a good whiskey. And since I used Hudson Baby Bourbon, I wanted to highlight this incredible spirit. Bitter but smooth. So so good. Cheers!

Because Cyrus was transferred between prisons and stood trial in 2013 without his "discovery (evidence) documentation," being transferred along with him, even after informing his lawyer, the court/judge, the bailiff, etc.) Cyrus feels his Constitutional Rights were violated and that he should have never been forced stand trial under the circumstance...without the mechanism to aid in proving his innocence. Under the U.S. Constituion, Chapter 101: Records and Reports 2071 (b) it states: Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States. As used in this subsection, the term "office" does not include the office held by any person as a retired officer of the Armed Forces of the United States." This memorandum from the Nelson Coleman Correctional Center provided to Cyrus, supports the fact that he was transferred and stood trial without the documentation he felt was needed and necessary to provide adequate defense.
This is the diagram of the Crime Scene. It is important to note that none of Cyrus's DNA was found inside of the apartment. It was only recovered from the outside of the door knob from when he was injured in the robbery earlier in the night. There was, however, an unidentified male's DNA found at multiple places inside the apartment, on the glove and the murder weapons.
Note that in the last paragraph on this page, arson investigators made it clear to detectives that Cyrus' 3rd confessional statement didn't make sense. It didn't factually agree with any of the actual events involving the production of the fire. The fact that investigators revealed that Cyrus' 3rd confessional statement was likely untrue...so early in the process of the investigation (Nov. 10, 2004 - same day), should have encouraged the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office to question the validity, possibility and plausibility of his forced confessional statement.

This Showgirl's Winner Was ...
Johnny Weir!
I don't want to get into the debate between Evan and Evgeny, because like I said earlier, I'll leave that to the blogging experts. And I don't think Johnny should have gotten a gold medal, but continuing in the showgirl prism that is what I know, I want to say Johnny had the best skate of the night. He skated so well, skated a challenging program clean, and didn't get what he deserved.
And I'm not the only one who thinks so. I've been reading all the blogs and the news articles about the men's skate and I see comments that are just like what I've said.
According to Jumping Clapping Man, who has a great roundup of Vancouver 2010 - Week 1 by the way, there is even a Facebook page "Johnny Weir Was Robbed" that you can go to here and join.
I did.
Johnny, if you're reading this, I agree with JCM, you were FABULOUS!

Paul Crocker Improvisation competition
The improvisation is a competition based on artistic interpretation of the music the skaters are presented with on the day of the competition. Those entered into the improvisation will be taken to a changing room and the music will be played on a loop for 10 minutes. This gives all the skaters time to think about how and what they will do on the ice. The music is then turned off and the first skater will be called to skate.
Apart from a warm-up time, once music has started no skaters will be allowed out of the rooms until their name is called. When the entry list and skate order are published, the names for the improvisation competition will be in alphabetical order, NOT draw order.
More emphasis is being placed on the ACTING / ARTISTIC / PRESENTATION of the skate rather than the technical ability. Dress to be of non-descript nature - no theme based costumes or props are permitted.
The classes for this competition are:
Class 1 – Under level one – 1 minute skate to pre-set music
The 2018 competition theme for this group is: The Toys Are Alive!
When you're not around the toys come to life! You could be a doll, a soft toy, a super hero or any toy you know of, let's see what you get up to!!
Class 2 – Level 1 and over – 1 min skate to pre-set music
The 2018 competition theme for this group is: Freak Show!
The weirdly wonderful show of Mr and Mrs Misfits! It could be scary? It could be funny? It could be like nothing you have ever seen before!


text: Oshkosh Truck OSK, +0.54% is losing more than 9 percent to $58.99 after the company said late Thursday that it wasn't granted a production contract by the U.S. Army for its family of medium tactical vehicles. The deal went to competitor Stewart & Stevenson SVC, -1.49%. "This has been a long and hard-fought competition with significant investment and noteworthy effort on the part of both competitors," said Robert Bohn, Oshkosh's chairman, president and chief executive officer, in a press release. The company plans to "evaluate its legal options after it has been thoroughly debriefed by the Army," Bohn added. Shares of Stewart & Stevenson are rallying more than 26 percent to $13.54 on the news.

The 164ft tri-deck Trinity yacht charter vessel yacht AMARULA SUN will set her course for the Caribbean this winter and will be in place in St. Martin in time to accept year-end inquires for Christmas and New Year's Eve. The superyacht will remain in the islands throughout spring 2016.
Her weekly charter rate is $220,000 plus running expenses.
The news comes on the heels of the recent relocation announcement by Feadship yacht HURRICANE RUN to the Caribbean for year-end, 2015.
The 50 meter motor yacht AMARULA SUN is truly a one of kind. Her many unique amenities include a split-level Master Stateroom with panoramic views, fully body massage chair, grand player piano, and a cozy fireplace.
There are accommodations for 10 adults in 5 staterooms, plus two Pullman berths each suitable for a small child.
Adventurous travelers take note – this yacht is packed with a wide array of sports equipment and water toys. Here's a partial list:
…and my personal favorite toys:

"I'm looking forward to my first St. Martin yacht charter vacation, and my travel companions and I are having a Caribbean themed party to get super psyched about our trip. Any suggestions for traditional island cocktails to put us in the proper frame of mind?"
Angel A., Miami
Now that's the spirit, Angel! What a fantastic idea to get pumped about your Caribbean escape.
We're not too embarrassed to admit enjoying a libation or two (or three) during our own yachting excursions in the islands. Local specialties can be found throughout the Caribbean, but we've narrowed down the choices to our fav five (in no particular order).
As you sip these drinks, keep in mind you can heighten your experience by throwing on a pair of flip-flops, hiding behind a pair of Maui Jim sunglasses, and swaying to a little "Havana Daydreamin" with Jimmy Buffet.
Smooth sailing, Angel…
Mojito – Cuba yacht charter
Some things are quintessential Cuban – hand-made cigars, guayabera linen shirts, and minty Mojitos. The history of Cuba's signature drink dates back to the 16th century, when Sir Francis Drake and his comrades drank a mixture of crushed mint leaves, lime and unrefined rum. Locals say Hemingway drank them at Le Bodeguita del Medio in Havana, and James Bond enjoyed one in 2002's Die Another Day.
Painkiller – British Virgin Islands yacht charter
Made with Pusser's Rum, The Painkiller cocktail originated at the Soggy Dollar Bar on Jost Van Dyke island in the BVIs. The drink was once made with a secret rum recipe by Daphne Henderson, the owner of the Soggy Dollar. Charles Tobias, the founder of the Pusser's rum distillery, persuaded Henderson to share her recipe. We're glad she did, as Painkiller cocktails are now readily available throughout the Caribbean.
Ti Punch – Martinique yacht charter
More an aperitif than cocktail, this simple mix of white rum, cane sugar and lime is usually served straight and is popular in all of the French Caribbean islands – Martinique, Guadeloupe, and the French side of St. Martin. Easy to make, it's usually served "to taste" – drinkers are presented with a glass of rum, a lime, and some syrup to make it up as they wish.
We know what you're thinking – we promised five killer cocktails but only named three. You caught us!
Submit our contact form (here) requesting the other 2 great drinks, and we'll send you the names AND the recipes to make all 5 of our favorite island-themed Caribbean yacht charter cocktails. Look forward to hearing from you and sharing some cocktails!

John Staluppi, notably the luxury yacht charter world's archetypical yacht owner, is at it again. He is driven by imagination and pride. As such, Staluppi takes possession of his 16th megayacht.
Launch took place on 26th November 2011 in Benetti shipyard in Livorno, Italy. The 60 meter Benetti FB253 is the boat's official identification. Like his earlier yachts, the vessel has been christened to honor another James Bond classic novel and film. Presenting motor yacht DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER.
The boat is based on the shipyard's famed naval architecture and engineering. Elegant external line of the new Benetti FB253 M/Y (Motoryacht) DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER uses compact forms and dynamic slender lines. She has traditional design elements and modern innovative stylistic solutions. These features are the benchmark of Benetti's throughout the world.
As a matter of fact, this man has long been a fan of the James Bond 007 saga. To emphasize, Staluppi's earlier creations include:
CASINO ROYALE and DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER are built for true luxury at sea. Staluppi's earlier Bond boats had a singular focus – SPEED. They were setting records as some of the fastest superyachts in the world. It was the 43.5 meter motor yacht OCTOPUSSY which broke the 50-knot speed barrier 20 years ago. This yacht brought the name of New York-born John Staluppi to the attention of yacht aficionados.
He has a well-known background, but the self-made millionaire left school when he was 16 and worked as a mechanic in Brooklyn. Due to this, he developed one of the most successful car dealerships in North America. It was a business that enabled him to indulge his passion for racing fast boats. He then started building megayachts for himself.
In conclusion, many charter yacht owners prefer to remain anonymous. Staluppi's vision and passion bring fervor and excitement to a very conservative industry. There aren't many yachts aboard which guests are greeted by frosted-glass panels delicately etched with the silhouettes of Bond girls!
The customized, whimsical James Bond boat themes are a refreshing breath of fresh air in an industry of white, cookie-cutter production boats. It must be remembered. Let's hope Staluppi doesn't run out of 007 movie titles, or his passion, any time soon.
Live the adventure – come explore an exotic destination on a James Bond boat.

Thanks to The Robb Report and writer, Viju Mathew for sharing this unique luxury yacht.
<< The beauty behind Sander Sinot's 590-foot Symmetry yacht concept is its sophisticated sense of balance. The Netherlands–based founder of Sinot Exclusive Yacht Design named the bespoke behemoth after its symmetrical hull and stern, allowing for equal maneuverability in both directions. The design duality carries over into the lavish living spaces, where interior and exterior boundaries become exquisitely blurred.
The dedicated owner's deck, for example, will feature a stateroom that can be opened up to flow onto its private outdoor lounge and infinity pool. And on the Beach Deck, a floating lounge with a seawater pool will be able to extend out across the ocean. In all, Symmetry will provide over 10,700 square feet of usable exterior deck space, including a glass-bottom pool on the Guest Deck and another 56-foot-long pool on the Hotel Deck.
Inside, the yacht's six decks of indulgence house a spa, a garden, a gym, and a selection of dining and bar venues. For young ones, a theater and playroom provide distraction on the Lower Deck. Aquatic amenities will include two 33-foot tenders, a 46-foot day boat, and six personal watercraft.
Accommodations for up to 34 guests comprise four en suite VIP rooms—each with a personal lounge and balcony—and 12 cabins. Within the owner's inner sanctum is a private spa, an office, a library, and a skylounge.
Environmentally balanced as well, the steel-hulled yacht will benefit from an electric Azipod propulsion system—making possible a top speed of 20 knots—controlled from twin navigation stations on the Wheelhouse Deck. Sinot introduced Symmetry at the Monaco Yacht Show last month and is ready to take the helm on its construction if a buyer—or Bond villain—commissions it. (sinot.com) >>
There will always be a Bond film that's ready for her!
We hope that a buyer commissions this high-caliber, impressive yacht and enters her in the superyacht charter industry in the future.

Every few weeks we like to glimpse into the future of sustainable yacht design. We've profiled designers who tout a future of green superyachts and builders who hope to lead the way with zero-carbon emission mega yacht charter vessels.
German grad student, Stefanie Behringer, is getting notice. Stefanie designed a hybrid propulsion trimaran motorboat. It is powered by diesel and electric jet skis. Behringer's creation, if it makes it off the drawing board, would be the ultimate James Bond boat. The sleek, futuristic design is a real head-turner! The green-designed vessel is simple and efficient. A jet ski attaches to each side of the hull. While the jet skis are electric-powered, the 49 foot yacht is also powered by two Audi turbo-charged diesel engines. Audi's concept design team assisted Behringer on the project.
The motoryacht is designed to cruise above 20 knots, with a top end of nearly 30 knots. The vessel can be operated using just the jet skis for a 100-horsepower emission-free cruise. At high speeds, the diesel engines will kick in as well as recharge the jet skis' batteries.
Twelve passengers can move about comfortably on the deck, designed to feel like a lounge. A tinted glass panel above will shield passengers from the wind and sun.
Alas, don't expect to see this vessel pop up anytime soon in the Mediterranean yacht charter market. Audi has not announced any plans to move the multi-hulled motoryacht beyond the concept phase. Still, innovative designs like this bode well for the future of the yachting industry and talented young designers like Stefanie Behringer.

Recently, we told our readers that Hollywood icon Steven Spielberg had put his spectacular Monaco yacht charter vessel up for sale. The Spielberg yacht SEVEN SEAS is scheduled to be replaced with an even larger vessel.
In a, "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" kind of way, we thought it would be fun to look at an interesting tie-in between Spielberg and the James Bond movie franchise. After all, it is obvious Spielberg loves yachts, and most of us are familiar with the correlation of James Bond and fast, luxurious yachts. In fact, there are several yachts named in honor of Bond films and currently available for private yacht charter – yachts like OCTOPUSSY and CASINO ROYALE.
So, back to the tie-in between Spielberg and Bond:
Did you know that Steven Spielberg Was Twice Rejected to Direct a James Bond Film??!!!
Yep, it's true.
Spielberg has made no secret of his affinity for the Bond film franchise, and his desire to direct a Bond movie.
It turns out that he had two opportunities to pitch longtime Bond producer Albert R. Broccoli. On both occasions, Broccoli said NO.
According to Broccoli's daughter, Barbara (who took over the production reigns after her father's death), a young, relatively unknown Spielberg made his first directorial pitch to her father early in his career. Broccoli was impressed by the young director's passion, but felt he lack the experience to helm a major title like Bond.
Barbara said her father told Spielberg, "Kid, ya gotta get some more films under your belt."
After Spielberg released one of his best-reviewed films, 'Schindler's List,' he sent a letter to Broccoli asking again if he could direct a Bond movie. Barbara says her father once again turned down Spielberg, this time saying, "Now I can't afford you!"
It's safe to say things turned out ok for Mr. Spielberg. He's directed over a dozen blockbuster films, and when not in use by Academy Award-winning director and his family, his yacht SEVEN SEAS is available for hire in the Mediterranean at a price of $1.2 million per week…

It was always fun to watch the famous space cartoon, The Jetsons, and imagine what it would be like in the future — transporting in rapidly moving little flying vehicles, getting ready in the morning by hopping on a conveyor belt and being automatically coiffed and dressed, and racing around wearing rocket-powered backpacks.
If you think about it, some of those wild cartoonish theories are seemingly becoming realities!
Flying cars DO now exist, although they are not yet mass produced.
Conveyor belts DO now exist, although they have not been perfected to prepare us in the mornings.
…and jetpacks DO now exist, although they were first seen in James Bond 007 movies as gadgets…and they now appear on Mediterranean yacht charter superyachts as the latest and greatest watersports toy!
The future I dreamed of as a child is finally here!
Excuse me, but I have to go feed my dog, Astro…
What futuristic item are you most looking forward to seeing and experiencing? Please leave us a comment to join Team 1-800 Yacht Charters on this fantastic voyage!

In 2005 the Chew Valley School Community Council was launched. The aim was to encourage positive involvement of students in their school community. Through this inclusive school team approach we hoped that students would explore opportunities to discover more about who they are and what they want to do in the future.
Students self–elect to form Project Teams to fulfil the plans they make to contribute to their school community in ways they have perceived need their help. All the Project Teams' plans are put together and feed into the School Development Plan.
The teams lead and manage their own projects and are accountable to the whole school community for the successful completion of their projects.
Each team has its own link teacher and a facilitator. A team has to find a link teacher before its plans can start to be implemented. All members are trained in how to run meetings; writing agendas, minutes and also working effectively as a team.
All team members attend the School Forum which is a termly meeting. This Forum is to communicate the ongoing work of the project teams to the whole school community. It is also a forum for discussing any issues students are concerned about or interested in that relate to the work of the different teams.
Chew Valley was awarded the Learning to Lead Gold award in 2012.
There are currently 15 teams in the council – Meetings are from 1.30pm
Fundraising Team (Monday H8)
Library Team (Monday Library)
Fish Team (Monday S1)
Homeless in action Team (Monday S5)
The Esperanto Team (Monday L6)
Wellness Team (Tuesday E1)

It seems as though the announcement of the Detective Pikachu game as well as the Amiibo are not the only exciting Pokemon themed releases. Today Nintendo announced the release of the New Nintendo 2DS XL Pikachu edition. The entire 2DS is themed like everyone favorite pokemon, complete with brown/white buttons, and Pikachu's face smash dab in the middle of the handheld console. The only way they could make this more adorable would be to include a power cord that is shaped like the Pikachu's lightning bolt shaped tail.
For those that don't know, on top of this Nintendo has also announced that the Detective Pikachu game will release March 23rd and accompanying it will be a Detective Pikachu Amiibo. The Amiibo will unlock cutscenes in the game, as well as help with hints when solving different mysteries. The combined Amiibo, Game, and 2DS XL will have die hard Pikachu fans satisfied for the time being until the release of the Detective Pikachu movie in 2019.
The Pikachu edition which releases on January 26th, will cost $159.99 which is roughly the cost of all the other editions of the console. Seeing this version makes me want to see other popular pokemon turned into Nintendo merchandise. Imagine Mew or Bulbasaur turned into a 2DS or Switch console.

Westchester Graduate College Textbook Scholarship
In 2006, the Westchester Graduate Chapter of Groove Phi Groove Social Fellowship, Inc. formed a college textbook scholarship program. Headed by Fellowman Devron Wilson, the program was designed to alleviate some of the financial hardships facing college men by supplying one qualified student per year with monies (of $500 to $1,000) toward the purchase of his first-semester college textbooks. The winner of the scholarship is chosen from a pool of applicants who display great academic achievement and a firm commitment to the Madison Square Boys and Girls Club Project Graduate Program.
The Project Graduate Program, of which Devron Wilson is an alumnus, is a college prep program that prepares high school seniors for college by exposing them to resume writing and job interview workshops and facilitating college campus tours. The program also hosts an annual retreat to " Project Graduate University " where students are placed in a university setting with scheduled classes and extracurricular activities, all while living in a dormitory-style environment. The Westchester Graduate Chapter teamed up with the Project Graduate Program to offer the Westchester Graduate Chapter of Groove Phi Groove College Textbook Scholarship in 2006 and 2008.
Most recently, on July 20, 2008, the Westchester Graduate Chapter of Groove Phi Groove presented its College Textbook Scholarship Award for 2008 to Jelani Worrell of Brooklyn, New York. Mr. Worrell is a B+ average-student who plans to attend Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn, New York, in the fall. Jonathan Parker, the 2006 College Textbook Scholarship Award winner, is doing well as a sophomore at Dominican College in Orangeburg, New York.
The college textbook scholarship program has been so successful that the Westchester Graduate Chapter plans to make it an annual event. The chapter hopes to offer multiple scholarship awards to several students from various non-profit organizations across the New York Tri-State area.

Lavazza @ Frieze Art Fair 2018
The team at Social Espresso covered 4 coffee stations at this year's Frieze London & Frieze Master's art fair for Lavazza. The brief of the event was to showcase Lavazza's new Columbian coffee blend. We had three mobile coffee bars in Frieze Masters and one other in Frieze London. The event ran for 7 days serving in exes of 6000 coffees. We had 5 baristas on site. going through over 500litres of milk, 17 cases of Oatly and 100kgs of coffee.
Frieze Art Fair is an international contemporary art fair in London and New York. It takes place every October in London's Regent's Park and since 2014, has also been running on New York's Randall's Island.[1] The fair is staged by Amanda Sharp and Matthew Slotover, the publishers of frieze magazine. Frieze Art Fair features more than 170 contemporary art galleries, and the fair also includes specially commissioned artists' projects, a talks programme, and an artist-led education schedule.
Lavazza was a great team to work with. Their experience and professionalism combined with the skill of our baristas executed an exceptional coffee experience for all the attendees at this year fair. We look forward to coming back next year!

Now there were shepherds nearby living out in the field, keeping guard over their flock at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were absolutely terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid! Listen carefully, for I proclaim to you good news that brings great joy to all the people: Today your Savior is born in the city of David. He is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign for you: You will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a manger." Suddenly a vast, heavenly army appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among people with whom he is pleased!"
~Angels, Luke 2:8-14
The voices of God's angels were the first to carry the good news of salvation to the ears of God's lost creation. The good news brings great joy and peace to all who believe.
After the Angelic voices faded into the memory of the shepherds the responsibility of the message was given to Continue reading "Christmas Devotions: Angels"

Go to the Gym?
Either, not both
Stand out or fit in.
Not all the time, and never at the same time, but it's always a choice.
Those that choose to fit in should expect to avoid criticism (and be ignored). Those that stand out should expect neither. (Seth Godin)
I get phone calls from people wanting to know my "gym membership" price and I tell them GT Fitness is not a GYM, this is a process that you don't buy when you "go to the gym".
This is a different world we live in today compared to the generations past and by striving to be fit and healthy you are being different from the norm
Thank you for being different with me!!

It came as a big surprise to us that the Chase products were not quite up to standard when compared to other products on the market. This included the savings and checking accounts, but more surprisingly, mortgages and auto loans. A disappointing show that left us reeling and with the hope that the next review would go a little better. We hope that Chase Investments is the product range that manages to bring everything together and allow us to make sense of their vast market share. This review has a look at what Chase has to offer and compares it to some of the best products around the world. Although there is a lot of pressure on this review, it will be unbiased and fair.
Find out how this review compares to the investment range offered by Deutsche Bank.
About Chase
Long history and an American stalwart, Chase has been part of the financial tapestry for decades. Previously known as JP Morgan Chase & Co, the rebranding took place in order to make customers a little more familiar with the brand. The corporate stiffness of the banking world is slowly disappearing, and Chase is taking up this opportunity to reveal its retail intentions. It offers full-service banking in the traditional sense of banking. It also provides access to technology that makes banking a whole lot easier. This is one of the biggest banks in the world based on its asset holdings and market share.
Why Consumers Are Reluctant to Invest
Volatile markets and a misrepresentation of funds have seen many potential investors, especially among millennials, shying away from investments. They're looking for alternate means to increase their wealth and to invest will require quite a lot of convincing from a broker.
Bad Reputation of Brokerage Firms and Banks
After the 2008 market crash, confidence in the brokerage firms and banks have deteriorated significantly. Those who were happy to invest in seemingly "safe" investments such as the property market felt the pinch with the subprime mortgage collapse. Pensioners felt a massive slump in their retirement funds and some individuals lost everything they had. The advice no longer felt sound and serious mistrust replaced the previous confidence.
Not Enough Education
Brokers and bankers have a sound understanding of the markets and the risks involved, but this information is not always easily conveyed to the investor. With time, these things become apparent and investors are able to determine their own strategies. Potential investors are recommended to attend seminars and workshops to gain a better understanding of the terminology and potential strategies.
The Ever-Present Risk
Although investments often offer a higher return than savings accounts and other guaranteed savings vehicles, but there is always risk. Even very low risk investments carry some form of risk which is off-putting to conservative investors.
Investing Can Be Costly
Even with the burden of risk, there is also the added hurdle of overcoming the fees. From the broker right through to the fund manager and taxes, investments could carry many costs. This could eat into the capital which could result in lower returns over a short term.
It Takes Long to See Results
The average investment term is between 5 to 8 years, but this all depends on the fund chosen. Investing is not a get-rich-quick tool and investors need to have the patience for a number of reasons. Firstly, they would need to ride out the market fluctuations and secondly, the investment needs to grow in order to make up for the fees and commissions. Timing is critical in a good investment strategy.
They Don't Think It's Suited to Beginners
Everyone needs to begin somewhere and for investors, it usually starts with an appointment with a financial advisor. There are also online training courses and mock investment programs that take investors through the motions of investing without touching their own funds. The best is to start off small and not use emergency funds to invest, no matter how strong the promise of a return is. That is unless there is a written and legal guarantee.
Chase also happens to offer a range of savings products and we recently did a review.
Chase Investments Product Offerings
Retirement Planning
The bank offers customers some great exposure to retirement planning that includes an online tool. This tool allows customers to calculate the amount they need to save in order to have a comfortable retirement. This online tool takes the following into consideration:
- Age
- Income
- Assets and liabilities
- Employment status
- Future plans
- Risks, and more.
Once customers have worked through this tool, they're presented with a few options for their retirement. They may then also set up an appointment with an advisor to go through the finer details and to see whether they're on the right track.
529 College Savings Plans
Although it's great to stick a few dollars into a savings account for college, there might be better options. This is because not all savings plans are designed for the long term, nor do they offer tax advantages. The 529 College Savings Plans are designed to encourage saving towards a college education. The returns on these savings are quite competitive which allows savers to feel a significant boost to their savings.
- There are certain tax advantages to saving in an account like this. These include federal and state taxes.
- Consumers enjoy high contribution limitations, which will allow them to save a sufficient amount for the entire college journey.
- Furthermore, these investments are not limited by income. Anyone over the age of 18 can open a 529 College Savings Plan.
- Also, professional financial institutions manage the funds and are overseen by the state.
- There is a certain amount of flexibility available in terms of the beneficiaries of the funds.
- The funds can be used for a number of educational facilities in the US and abroad.
- Finally, this type of investment can be viewed as accelerated gifting which is perfect for grandparents.
Find out whether Chase was able to step up to the plate with its range of current accounts.
Managed Accounts
JP Morgan Core Advisory Portfolio
Those who would like diversity in their investment portfolio will find this a suitable option. The investment is professionally managed and enjoys diversification across multiple asset classes.
- The fund boasts a team of asset managers with a wealth of experience and education to back their decisions.
- It also features a due diligence team to ensure the funds are in the best hands.
- Furthermore, the team identifies the risks and opportunities and will make the adjustments accordingly to make the most of the investments.
- The investment strategy is aligned with the customer's expectations of their portfolio.
- Finally, customers have the option to work directly with an advisor for the best strategy.
Mutual Fund Advisory Account
This investment type makes use of the strategic asset allocation guidance from JP Morgan's Global Access Investment Team. Furthermore, the investment strategy takes the customer's risk tolerance and investment objectives into consideration.
- Customers work with their financial advisor for the best strategy.
- Furthermore, customers regain a level of control with this investment type.
- Finally, JP Morgan Manager Selection Team evaluates investment vehicles continuously to ensure they remain relevant.
Advisory Program
This is a great opportunity for investors who wish to have access to affiliated and unaffiliated portfolio managers. Furthermore, the investments take place in two different products, the Portfolio Manager Program (PMP) and the Select Advisory Strategies (SAS).
- Customers work with their advisors to select one or more portfolio managers. They base their decisions on the customer's investment strategy guidelines.
- Also, the investment strategies may emerge from specific investment themes or in certain asset classes.
- Furthermore, the portfolio managers themselves direct and transact the necessary trading. No involvement is required from the customer.
- Finally, customers have the ability to select single or multi-asset investment strategies.
Mutual Funds
These investments are perfect for investors who want the professionals to take care of things. Furthermore, the money managers will make the necessary adjustments as they see fit.
- Customers have access to a diverse range of securities across a wide range of companies.
- Furthermore, the bank can automatically reinvest interest payments and dividends without incurring additional charges.
- Finally, the capital gains distributions pass on to the customer when a mutual fund sells a holding at a profit.
Critical Reviews Rating Chase Investments – 9 of 10
Finally, Chase steps up to the plate and delivers a world-class product range. From the range right through to the various options, customers who wish to dip their toes in the world of investing will have numerous options. Furthermore, they have access to financial advisors in order to make things a little clearer and take out the fuzziness that often surrounds investments.
The only concern we have with the range is that we're not too sure about the actual products on offer for those looking at retirement. Customers will need to go through various stages to get to those options and possibly even make their way to their nearest branch. The bank could also do with a section that explains investment risk, just to make customers a little more aware of it.
We are comfortable with this rating and hope this is enough to redeem Chase bank from the slow start on their other products.
We recently did a review on the investment selection offered by BNP Paribas.

SimpleNet Commerce's control panel is easy to navigate, but e-commerce integration is not as seamless as in other services.
SimpleNet Commerce has a capable integrated site builder. But because the commerce features are not built in, it's suitable primarily for businesses that want to build their own solution. To that end, SimpleNet also comes with Mysql database access and support for php scripting.
SimpleNet's Web control panel is typical of what you find at a Web host that has commerce capabilities but relies on you to do most of the integration. The service gives you links to configure the included Miva Merchant or osCommerce engines. You then tie these engines to sites you create in your own tools and upload via ftp or the Web-based file manager.
SimpleNet also offers a more wizardlike site-building tool called Site Studio. In this, you start by choosing from dozens of template styles, each available in multiple color variations. Then you add pages from a gallery that includes a variety of content-specific page designs, as well as a few that provide interactive capabilities like user surveys. Like Affinity's Bigstep, SimpleNet has you populate page content by filling out Web-based forms, but it doesn't include some of the status indicators and guidance found in Bigstep. Its online help also is sparser. Site Studio automatically creates graphical navigation bar buttons and can even auto-generate a fancy Macromedia Flash-based welcome and navigation page.
When it comes to building product and category pages, SimpleNet doesn't offer much guidance. Site Studio lets you create product pages with links to third-party Add-A-Cart shopping, and of course you can use the capable Miva or osCommerce to build a highly customized storefront, as you could with almost any hosting provider that offers these tools. But there are no built-in catalog management capabilities or any significant facilities for promoting your site or managing customer interactions, though you can crunch site statistics with the included Webalyzer package.
SimpleNet is comparable with the tool sets you find at standard hosting providers, with the addition of the Site Studio to help walk you through creation of a simple site. But for turnkey commerce integration and store management tools, it can't match the other services in this roundup.

Resting is an essential part of a successful workout habit. In this article we aim to give you some insights into resting and why it is so important! Pushing hard is a good thing when it comes to workouts, but the real key to workout-success is discipline. That discipline should also include resting. Here you can find out why!
In many ways, the human body is like an engine. And just as an engine can be worked too hard, it is also possible to push our bodies too hard. Therefore it is very important to find a balance between work and rest!
Of course, on your resting days, you do not have to lay in bed and do nothing at all, you can still go for a walk or continue doing your yoga exercises. Nevertheless, good rest and relaxation should be your priority here. Especially if you have a rather demanding workout plan during the other days of the week.
Let the body cool down, let it regenerate energy. Yes, pushing the limits is an important aspect of successful body-building and transformation, but the most important aspect of successful routine is discipline. This discipline must include resting and workouts, so make sure to take both seriously!
Always bear in mind that your body is individual. However, there are certain rules that apply to every human body. Feeling comfortable with your training and resting days is one of the most important factors. So invest some time to gather information on good, tested and proven routines in this regard! Here are some informations to consider:
When training, we basically are tearing our muscle fibres apart. As they then re-build, we form more muscles. For our muscles to grow, they need that recovery time. This is what muscle growth is, in a nutshell – tearing apart and building back up stronger. The aim is to work the muscles hard enough to achieve growth, but without causing pain or permanent damage.
You are taxing your immune system by working out. This is good because training makes it stronger. However, you need to give your immune system time to recover. If this is not taken seriously, your body will not be prepared to deal with any problems. It is important to avoid this. Nutrition and other factors are also of utter importance for our immune system.
A good indicator of our general health, is your energy levels. Of course, training needs energy. But the wonderful thing about it is that it also generates more energy for future days, though, only if you allow your body to rest. If you are feeling overly exhausted, notice mood swings, bad sleeping patterns, depression or anxiety, even though you are following a steady workout plan, chances are, you are demanding too much of your body and are not giving it enough time to rest and recover. If this is the case, try making adjustments to your training and resting schedule. And again, check your food and nutrition intake.
Our bodies constantly communicate with us, they do so in many different ways. Don't ignore the signals! Hydration is one key factor for health and energy. So, if for example, your urine is sometimes dark yellow, you are not drinking enough! This will affect the effectiveness of your workouts, your energy levels and your general well being. Of course, water is not all the body demands, but nutrition is too big of a subject, so we are not going to dwell on it at this point. Another sign to worry about is constant muscle stiffness. If every movement hurts and your body just feels totally exhausted, chances are, you are pushing your body too hard. Slow down. Find your balance. Grow stronger!
Although rest is an important factor of a well-balanced training, laziness can also creep in! Our minds can be tricky and might tell us that we need more rest than what the body actually is demanding. So we have to ask ourselfs, do I need rest, or am I just being lazy? Be honest with yourself! We recommend having a workout plan and sticking to it. Have a certain number of days set to train and a certain number of days set to rest. Evaluate how you feel, listen to your body, make adjustments and find the right pace for your individual body – that's the only reasonable way to proceed!
We hope that our short introduction to a balanced workout/resting routine could give you some useful insights and wish you all the best for your future training and resting!

We have been having "behavioral issues" with Ethan lately. It's part of him growing up and testing boundaries but I'm getting pretty tired of it. This morning we were all tired cause we were all up way too late last night which with Ethan is a recipe for disaster. We had plans to put out the new slip n slide this afternoon but needed to go grocery shopping first. By the time
we Craig was ready to go Ethan was tired and Emerson was just waking up. So we decided that Craig and Emerson would go to the store and Ethan and I would stay here. My hope was that Ethan would nap or at least lay in his room. Which he did a little but I told him if he came out of his room he would not be playing on the slip n slide when Daddy got home. By the time Craig got home he had come out 5 times. UGH FACE PALM!!
So being the house of endless chances (that it feels like we're becoming) we give him another chance – clean your room and you can go out and play when you are done. I go into Ethan's room about 30 minutes later and can't believe how clean it is. I tell him how proud I am and say "See I told you if you just put your mind to it and do it, it won't take long at all". Then I spot something in the corner. A small box crammed with about 10 – 15 toys and a book. I nonchalantly push it to the center of the room and take the box so I can put in the trash. I say "Wow, you're really close but you missed these things. Put them up and you're ready to go out"
I go in there again and again the same things are crammed back in the corner minus the box that I took away. I push them back to the middle of the room and remind Ethan he has a choice. If he cleans his room he gets to go outside and play but "if you hide things from me instead of putting them up you will not be playing on the slip n slide today, you are making the choice it's up to you"
A couple of minutes pass and Ethan is at the back door trying to slip past me. I say, "Ethan, did you really clean your room or do you need a few minutes to make sure everything is put up and not hiding?' He tells me again he's done. I ask him two more times and two more times he tells me he is finished with his room.
He tries to slip past again and I say "No, lets go take a look at your room real quick"
He runs back to his room, opens his closet door, and then closes it(I have no idea what this was for other then to distract me from his new hiding place). I start checking his room beginning with the corner where he has been hiding his toys. I'm excited to see that the toys aren't there. But… I can tell from his face that they are somewhere, so I get down on my hands and knees and start searching his room. I know when I'm close because Ethan erupts into tears. I find the toys tucked under a table, look at him and say "Well that's a bummer, I'm sad that you made the choice not to clean your room." Ethan goes ballistic and yells for no less then 20 minutes straight. I want to slit my wrists to get away from it and Craig says "Can't he just clean his room and come out" I ask Craig "How many more chances do you think he should get?" but I stand firm. Later we talk about what he has to do tomorrow to get to play on the slip n slide – his room has to be clean and he has to finish his math work for the day.

Introduction to autumn
Starbucks has released their autumnal drinks. To commemorate the upcoming season change, I have (unironically) ordered my first pumpkin spice latte of the season.
Side bar: Does anyone get unexpectedly delighted when the barista spells your name right without help? It never ceases to amaze me when they correctly write out N-I-C-O-L-A without hesitation.
Side bar #2: IDGAF about being basic, I'm sipping my PSL while wearing my Pink half-zip. The only thing missing is my Uggs, which are in storage because, let's be real, it's still too hot to wear boots.
I have to admit spending $5+ on a latte sends me into an anxious frenzy. What did I do to deserve this $5 coffee? Maybe I should have gotten a Venti - or better yet, a Trenta! Why did I buy that Keurig 12 months ago and betray it with this overpriced junk from Starbucks? Should I try out the pumpkin spice scone, it looks sooo good. And so on.
I buy my Starbucks lattes methodically; my cheap thrifty self can't justify doing this on a regular basis unless I "have a good reason" to do so. In a nut shell, I only treat myself when I'm having a particularly low day. Splurging on a latte from Starbucks is a strategic attempt to lift my psyche and tell myself, yes, maybe your existential crisis is crushing you a bit harder than usual, but you've got a $5 latte in your hands. Maybe life will be ok. Sip this hot comforting drink and move on with it.
Fall is my favorite season. But I don't mean the California fall, where essentially nothing changed except *maybe* some trees are more yellow and dead and Starbucks releases their autumnal drinks. I'm talking about REAL fall - in other words, BOSTON fall. It was always a struggle to return back to university after long, awesome California summers, but the crisp Boston autumn made it worth it. It was cooler than the humid New England summers (mosquitos, anyone?) but still much warmer than the frigid northeast winters (wind chill is NO joke). Leggings, scarf, PSL. Check, check, check. I never knew fall until I went to Boston University. Yep, I went apple picking, and it was GLORIOUS and gorgeous.
Currently writing this long, extended ramble with a burnt, scalded tongue. I drank my PSL too fast. Whoops.
