It is mustahabb to close the doors of houses at night
It is narrated in a saheeh report that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) commanded us to close the doors and mention the name of Allaah at night, when night begins, when going to sleep. That is so that the Muslim may protect his house and his family from any harmful devil coming in, whether from among mankind or the jinn, and from harmful animals or insects coming in.
It was narrated from Jaabir ibn 'Abd-Allaah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
"When the wings of the night spread – or when evening comes – keep your children in, for the devils come out at that time. Then when part of the night has passed, let them go. And close the doors and mention the name of Allaah, for the shaytaan does not open a closed door. And tie up your waterskins and mention the name of Allaah, and cover your vessels and mention the name of Allaah, even if you only put something over them, and extinguish your lamps."
Narrated by al-Bukhaari (3280) and Muslim (2012). A version narrated by Muslim says:
"Cover vessels, tie up waterskins, close doors and extinguish lamps, for the shaytaan does not undo waterskins or open doors or uncover vessels."
Imam al-Nawawi included this in a chapter entitled:
Chapter of the command to cover vessels, tie up waterskins, close doors and mention the name of Allaah over them, and extinguish lamps and fires when going to sleep, and keeping children and livestock in after sunset. End quote.
Muslim (2013) narrated in the same chapter that Jaabir ibn 'Abd-Allaah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Do not let your animals and children go out when the sun has set, until the first part of the night is over, for the devils come out when the sun sets, until the first part of the night is over."
Ibn Hibbaan narrated it in his Saheeh (4/90) as follows:
"Tie up your water skins and close your doors when you go to bed at night, and cover food and drink, for the shaytaan comes, and if he does not find the door closed he will enter, and if he does not find the waterskin tied up he will drink from it, and if he finds the door closed and the waterskin tied up, he does not open any water skin and he does not open a closed door, and if one of you cannot find something to cover his vessel in which is his drink, let him a place a stick over it."
Imam Ibn Abd al-Barr (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
In this hadeeth there is a command to close doors of houses at night. This is a Sunnah which is enjoined to protect people against the devils of mankind and the jinn. As for the words "the shaytaan does not open a closed door and he does not untie a water skin" this is telling us of the blessing of Allaah, may He be glorified and exalted, to his human slaves, for he(the shaytaan) has not been given the power to open the door, or undo a water skin or uncover a vessel; these things have been forbidden to him, even though he has been given the power to do some things that are more difficult than that, such as going through and penetrating in ways that man cannot. End quote.
Al-Istidhkaar, 8/363
Al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
Ibn Daqeeq al-'Eid said: in the command to close doors there are both religious and worldly benefits which protect lives and wealth from evildoers, and especially the devils.
As for the words "the shaytaan does not open a closed door," this is an indication that the command to close doors serves the purpose of keeping the shaytaan away from mixing with people. The reason given is something that can be known through Revelation. The definite article is referring to the type, it does not mean any specific individual. End quote.
Fath al-Baari, 11/87.
He also said (may Allah have mercy on him):
Al-Qurtubi said: All commands on this issue are aimed at serving an interest for man, and are to be understood as recommendations, especially with regard to the one who does that with the intention of following the command.
Ibn al-'Arabi said: Some people think that the command to close doors is general and is applicable to all times, but that is not the case. Rather it is limited to the night. It is as if the night is singled out in this case because the day is usually the time when people are awake, unlike the night. The whole idea is connected to the shaytaan, because he is the one who makes the mouse burn the house. End quote.
Fath al-Baari, 6/356 -- 357
Al-Khateeb al-Sharbeeni al-Shaafa'i (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
When night comes, it is Sunnah to cover vessels even if only with a stick, to tie up water skins, and to close doors, mentioning the name of Allaah in all three cases, and to keep children and livestock in during the first part of the night, and to extinguish lamps when going to sleep. End quote.
Mughni al-Muhtaaj, 1/31
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
When going to sleep, one should close the door. End quote.

WACO, TEXAS -- From volunteering labor and expertise to keep the plumbing of Ronald McDonald Houses in good working condition to collecting supplies for the families staying there, Mr. Rooter Plumbing takes the plunge into charity work.
The Mr. Rooter Plumbing sponsorship is in collaboration with four of its affiliate companies -- Aire Serv, Glass Doctor, Mr. Appliance and Mr. Electric. These companies joined together to support Ronald McDonald House Charities with a national commitment of $100,000.
"It feels great to give back to Ronald McDonald House Charities, because it seems like everyone knows someone who has benefited from their wonderful services," said Mary Kennedy Thompson, president of Mr. Rooter Corp. "We are honored to support them in helping families with sick children."
Mr. Rooter plumbers will help Ronald McDonald Houses by donating labor and supplies when plumbing and drain cleaning work is needed. The shops will also collect supplies year-round.
Ronald McDonald House Charities was established in 1984 in memory of McDonald's founder and franchise icon Ray Kroc. The cornerstone program, the Ronald McDonald House, provides a "home-away-from-home" so families can stay close by while their child gets the health care they need.
"With nearly 300 Ronald McDonald Houses in the world serving 7,200 families a day, our Houses need constant maintenance to ensure the families come back from the hospital each day to a comfortable home," said Marty Coyne, president and CEO, Ronald McDonald House Charities. "This partnership will make it even easier for staff at our Ronald McDonald Houses to ensure the Houses are close to perfection for our families."
The Houses are located around the world and are funded by both corporate donor and individual support. This is the ideal partnership for Mr. Rooter, because it has plumbing shops across the United States and Canada.
"Our franchise brands know what it means to be of service so that customers can have peace of mind and focus on more important things," said Dina Dwyer-Owens, CEO and chairwoman of The Dwyer Group, Inc. "That is why supporting the Ronald McDonald House Charities is a perfect fit to extend that message in another meaningful way."

Truly Sunrise?
The Modern Sunrise : A Normative Critique.
Sunrise or sun up is the moment when the upper limb of the Sun appears on the horizon in the morning. The term can also refer to the entire process of the solar disk crossing the horizon and its accompanying atmospheric effects. Terminology "Rise" Although the Sun appears to "rise" from the horizon, it is actually the Earth's motion that causes the Sun to appear. The illusion of a moving Sun results from Earth observers being in a rotating reference frame; this apparent motion is so convincing that most cultures had mythologies and religions built around the geocentric model, which prevailed until astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus first formulated the heliocentric model in the 16th century. Architect Buckminster Fuller proposed the terms "sunsight" and "sunclipse" to better represent the heliocentric model, though the terms have not entered into common language. Beginning and end Astronomically, sunrise occurs for only an instant: the moment at which the upper limb of the Sun appears tangent to the horizon. Sunrises occur approximately due east on the March and September equinoxes for all viewers on Earth. Exact calculations of the azimuths of sunrise on other dates are complex, but they can be estimated with reasonable accuracy by using the analemma. Appearance Colors Air molecules and airborne particles scatter white sunlight as it passes through the Earth's atmosphere. This is done by a combination of Rayleigh scattering and Mie scattering. As a ray of white sunlight travels through the atmosphere to an observer, some of the colors are scattered out of the beam by air molecules and airborne particles, changing the final color of the beam the viewer sees. Because the shorter wavelength components, such as blue and green, scatter more strongly, these colors are preferentially removed from the beam. The removal of the shorter wavelengths of light is due to Rayleigh scattering by air molecules and particles much smaller than the wavelength of visible light . The scattering by cloud droplets and other particles with diameters comparable to or larger than the sunlight's wavelengths is due to Mie scattering and is not strongly wavelength-dependent. Mie scattering is responsible for the light scattered by clouds, and also for the daytime halo of white light around the Sun . Sunset colors are typically more brilliant than sunrise colors, because the evening air contains more particles than morning air.

text: Well day 5 turned out to be pretty damn good. The Cravings were there but not bad today. I return to work tomorrow and when I'm there we can't smoke anyway. I drove two and a half hours in my car today, from our cabin up north back home. Not smoking on the drive didn't bother me at all. I did however choose to yell out profanities and give certain fingers to idiot drivers! It was a great tension reliever :-) see you on day 6! :-)

2014: in review/
This time of year always seems to speed up; the days between Christmas and New Years' disappear! It is a quiet, cold, grey morning - quite seasonable and fitting - the kind to make you feel glad to be sipping a warm coffee underneath a blanket by the window. I am ogling at these photos, reminiscing - partially with nostalgia, but mostly thinking about how very blessed I am that I got to do all that I did. Just a glimpse at this good year.
a shrimp feast in hermosa beach.
bold pops.
summer indulgences...
my 'best dressed' outfit at mini golf.
sweet springtime sbux pit stops..
new finds
one of my favorite views of the year
october campfires
many coffee diaries were added to the books :)
breakfast in Redondo Beach
the most beautiful coating of white.
winter trip to the cabin
i'll take one of each please :)
late summer beach nights
best choice of the year: getting back into yoga
the winter looked a lot like this..
homemade pasta on christmas day
I guess it is something that we can all agree with as we get older: the year goes by
Once we take the moment to look back and reflect, though, we see that it was a year of small metamorphoses that really do make up who we are in the present. I am perplexed at the idea of the present, but it is something that I think yoga has helped me wrap my head around...it is refreshing to 'zoom out,' not overthink.
2014 was awesome. I think halfway through the year, in the summer, I hit my stride. Health wise, I began running and that was a huge accomplishment in my books - I have since
slowed down in that regard but it set such a good tone for the remainder of the year. Big changes happened. S moved to California, we went to LBI, I made a visit to the West Coast, but - to me - some of those best moments are the quiet weekends. S's big departure has definitely changed a lot of things, and I miss him terribly, but it has also opened new avenues for travel. I have never had a reason to go to SoCal before - and now it's probably my #1 destination! I've already got another trip booked!
This year we kept a memory jar to be opened only on New Years' Eve. I am SO excited to open these little notes. We seem to have collected dozens. Funny moments - like the time a mouse lived in the trunk of my mom's car...poignant moments - driving S to the airport for the first time...those kinds of things, even the ones that feel forever ago, I can't wait to revisit.
Thank you for reading along in 2014. I hope to continue with the 'adventures' in 2015 - I always say my best years end in odd numbers. Bring it on :)
ciao, xo - and Happy New Year!

Ten Reasons
Hire An Artist

Donald Trump and Miley Cyrus: Separated at Birth?
Donald Trump and Miley Cyrus: Separated at Birth?
Independent's Eye by Joe Gandelman
What do millionaire Donald Trump and recording star-actress Miley Cyrus have in common? Both got headlines and are probably smiling right now. Because they how to push a common button.
Trump is the millionaire, television celebrity and birther-in-chief who has proven that in America any young, enterprising boy can grow up to be a loud, bullying and vulgar man who makes millions not just due to building and investments but due to his media branding as a loud, bullying, and vulgar man. New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman recently announced he was suing Trump for $40 million because he was associated with "Trump University" that promised students big-bucks results but was what he called a "deception" ending in expensive seminars and useless internships.
Trump then hit the button: he got headlines by charging that Schneiderman was a Democratic "hack ," mad because Trump didn't raise enough funds for his election. He also told CBS News this could well be a "mini-IRS scandal," since the New York AG had met with Obama earlier in the week. Schneiderman replied they were talking about things "more important" than Trump.
Charge Obama is to blame and there's guaranteed media coverage and partisan support for your position. A recent poll of GOPers in Louisiana found that a big chunk of them blame Obama for the government's bad performance during Hurricane Katrina -- which was on President George W. Bush's watch. Will blame for leaving Pearl Harbor unprepared be far behind?
Meanwhile, the once wholesome "Hanna Montana" decided to discard --or, rather, repudiate -- her Disney Channel persona. She gave a performance at MTV's MVA awards where she rubbed herself against Robin Thicke after stripping herself down to flesh-colored lingerie and executing some blatantly sexual dance moves. She was also "twerking" -- a dance move where someone shakes their hips up and down and shakes their butt in the audience's faces.
Twerking originated when someone wanted to put to dance the way politicians treat their constituents.
Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski was disgusted at the act, and the media coverage: "There's pushing the envelope and there's porn, there's raunchy porn that's disgusting and disturbing and seeing... a 20 year old young woman literally in the process of her undoing and everyone clapping for it and being disturbed by it and talking about it and showing it, which I hope we don't," Brzezinski said on NBC's Today. "Don't show it here on my segment, please."
But the segment got wide replay, even though Cyrus was generally skewered. The Daily Mail called her "an international laughingstock."Singer-actress Bette Midler tweeted: "Does her tongue hanging out mean she's dehydrated?"The Washington Post's Allison Stewart wrote: "Miley Cyrus debasing herself in some misguided attempt to be seen as an adult sexual being just made her seem younger. (There was a reason for all those Amber Alert jokes on Twitter.)"
But one person on Twitter called her "the new Elvis" and likened those who objected to 1950s housewives. The most insightful observation and Tweet came from comedian John Fugelsang: "My plan is to get Miley Cyrus to twerk the US public school system so the US media will pay attention to it."
How did we reach this point where peddling loudness, unsubstantiated charges and name-calling and lowering the bar on public performance sexual standards to shock the public seem to be actual goals? Perhaps a turning point in American culture came in the 1978 movie "Animal House," where mainstream comedy was jolted when John Belushi (using a mouthful of mashed potatoes) did an imitation of a pus-shooting zit. It was cool to be loud, outrageous, a bit gross -- and attention getting.
Trump and Cyrus know now to push the buttons to get big publicity. The heck with being thoughtful or a role model. You get more publicity and money if you act like an erupting zit.

I Can't Believe I Said That! When a Shepherd Mentors
Shepherd Bob and Preacher Lynn were wired up as near opposites. I have trouble keeping up with my keys, and uber-organized Bob called this a character flaw, while I accused Bob of thinking in rigid, boring columns. I like stories. He likes facts. He was left-brained: cerebral and analytical. I tend toward right-brained: intuitive and relational. Yet, in at least one way, Bob and I were much alike: we both tend toward being control freaks.
Well, because of Bob's work travels, he periodically missed multiple elders' meetings. On several occasions, the rest of the shepherds and staff had worked on some project for weeks during Bob's absence, doing research, running legwork, having long discussions, and finally laying plans. Then Bob would blow back into an elders' meeting after several weeks' absence, and (as I perceived it) second-guess all the work done in his absence and try to reshape things his way.
My frustration escalated, till one day I—like a wise, gentle pastor of the people —charged into Bob's office, stood over his desk, and began to berate him for the "way he dragged down the morale of the elders and how he torpedoed things good people had slaved on for weeks, etc." With each point my pitch rose and I punctuated my complaints with a stiff index finger. Bob listened a few minutes, then calmly picked up his pen and began jotting notes on a legal pad.
"What are you doing?" I demanded.
"Well, Lynn, you're talking pretty fast and saying a lot of important things. I need to write them down."
"And what are you going to do with them?" Suspiciously.
"I just...need to think about them." Calmly.
So I settled down a bit (actually, I felt sort of cheap.) I talked. Bob wrote. And the visit actually ended on a warm note.
Now, here is the amazing part: Bob told no one about our conversation. But the following week each of the people in Bob's circle—including me—received a very professional-looking envelop in the mail containing two documents. One was a note saying "It has come to my attention that I need to improve some of my professional and interpersonal skills and behaviors." And he asked for our help.
The second document was a list of questions Bob had taken from his notes on my "input" (but mentioning no names). He asked us to answer each of his questions by rating his performance on a 1-5 scale.
But the most amazing part was this: when he got the results back, would you believe, he actually made some definite and obvious changes!
My stars! What an important learning experience for me. In fact, a few weeks later I asked Bob for a two-hour lunch on my nickel, explaining, "This time, I'll bring the pen and pad, and you do the talking."
So we met. Bob talked and I wrote. The resulting pages stayed on the corner of my desk for months. I read and re-read them. Bob significantly changed my life, not by what he said, so much as by what he did! He was a mentoring shepherd—showing me how to live.
This is a prime sample of what I call transformative mentoring. Bob was modeling Christian leadership for me—not from the distance, but up close and personal. He took me seriously, in spite of my immaturity—showing me how to react to criticism, how to absorb hostility, how to be a listener. What humility looks like. How trust grows. Plus he modeled accountability and feedback.
Thank you, good shepherd Bob. I feel deeply imprinted by your heart. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for putting this mentor in my life.
Bob went to heaven this past year, but I will never forget his voice, nor take it lightly. I love Bob.
(Adapted from Lynn Anderson's book They Smell Like Sheep, Volume One.)

I have moved...
This website is no longer being updated. I have a new home for my art and photography at:
Please come say hi!
August 26, 2008
Sometimes it's good to experiment and be a little intentionally difficult. Emily had the joy of being a test subject. It's not the most challenging or original design ever but I liked the idea of a three column design with the navigation in the middle*. I think it works ok because the left column is very mimimal.
First version:
(The blackbird is just a filler photo while we choose the appropriate image, we're probably going with nice nature/inspiring nice things so it was an appropriate holding image).
We've updated it a little to make it a bit more accessible, the contrast between the background and the body copy was a little low so we're trying a white content background. Also removed the "Recent Projects" bit from the footer and replaced with a selection of logos from associate businesses (proper logos to come).
* I make no claims to originality here, I'm sure this has been tried before.
I am Bob. This is my blog. It is an outlet and a substitute for real life. It contains my art, photography, illustration and thoughts on mental health (I deal with anxiety on a pretty much constant basis).
Help fund my existence. Buy my stuff (t-shirts, art prints, stock images & graphics)
Why? -*+Because it's brilliant.
Why? -*+It was one of the best gifts in a while. I read it every morning.
Why? -*+I'm learning to be a better photographer.
Why? -*+I'm learning to write and reading any book on the subject that looks interesting.

1958/Director: Edward L. Cahn/Writer: Jerome Bixby
Cast: Marshall Thompson, Shirley Patterson (as Shawn Smith), Kim Spalding, Ann Doran, Ray Corrigan (as IT!)
1958's It! The Terror from Beyond Space is one of the better entries into the Edward L. Cahn collection of low budget horror and films though mot them are fairly enjoyable b-movie fare to begin with. It! also features yet another fantastic monster costume by Paul Blaisdell that some would say is his best but I like them all actually and do not make to make comparisons. The film is notable online for always being called the inspiration for Ridely Scott's influential horror/sci-fi classic Alien. It! Is not the only film said to have influenced Scott's movie as Queen of Blood and Mario Bava's Planet of the Vampires are also cited. It can be fair to say Scott and writer Dan O'Bannon may have seen this film and the others but Alien is in a class of its own as far as I am concerned. What It! does have in common with Alien is the story of a crew of men and women trapped inside a space ship with a murderous monster that seeks to kill them off one at a time. The monster –in both It! and Alien- is highly predatory and has a form of intelligence that, while not as high as the human's, is enough when coupled with its superhuman strength to present the crew with a very serious problem.
There are a couple female crew members and it can be amusing to see how the roles of women have changed in films from the 50's to now. They tend to wait on the guys at lunch and of course the more attractive of the two (Shirley Patterson –cast as Shawn Smith- as Ann Anderson) becomes the object of Carruther's attention to which she succumbs rather quickly. In almost all of the old horror/sci-fi flicks gals are hit on from the get go by the alpha male in the film and the more persistent he is the more she falls for him by the middle of the film. The death of the creature is actually pretty similar to the how Ripley kills off the truly menacing beast in Alien in that a hatch is opened and the chamber of the ship with the creature, and crew, in it is decompressed or something. Of course there are some problems with these old films such as the creature being almost too powerful to believe and it being impervious to almost every method of destruction (including bazookas, which should probably not be fired inside a spaceship anyway). Of course the creature in old films always has some weakness the hero or heroes simply have to find before the film runs out of time. It may be salt or cold or ultra-violet light but by the gods there is something that the monster is not comfortable with. In this case it is the lack of enough oxygen to fill its huge lungs. The acting is not too bad over all and the film does create at times a believable sense of claustrophobia. The photography is nice and at a mere 68 minutes it does not drag on for too long. A real classic.

This is a BIG question you might have after last week's content about how to deal with triggers when they come up in your life.
When someone triggers you emotionally - what do you DO?
After you've taken the four steps I recommend (You can find those here if you missed them)... what's next?
Do you block them? Cut ties? What if they keep on triggering you around the same darn thing?
Here's what I have to say on the matter!
DISCLAIMER: When we're talking about triggers I mean run of the mill frustration, jealousy, etc. that we experience in our every day lives just because someone else is being a normal not perfect human being or doing something that you WISH you could do. We're NOT addressing any form of abuse, harm, or attack on you. If someone in your life is perpetuating these, seek professional help.
P.S. How do you like that new intro tune and jam?! I thought it was pretty snazzy! Who knew iMovie was so magical! :D

I don't really know why I decided to go to Whole Foods to buy the stuff for our Thanksgiving meal since I don't go there regularly. But anyway, I went there in search of a light turkey (less than 8 lbs – impossible) and came across this huge, expensive one in the turkey section. Insane how much people will pay for turkey!
Anyway, before that, I asked someone that I thought worked in the produce department if they had any brussel sprouts. After being taken to the baking aisle and then asking the guy again if he knew that I had asked for brussel sprouts, he led me back to the produce section to a woman. She didn't know what I was talking about so she got a real dude that worked in the produce section. After I asked him where the brussel sprouts were, he – probably laughing in his head thinking I was a total moron – led me to this giganomous display at the front of the produce section that I obviously (read: stupidly) did not see. Wow. I have to say that that is a brussel sprout lovers' dream of a display. You get to pick your own! Woo hoo!

Travel Designer Vs Travel Agent
TRAVEL is the only thing you buy That makes you richer .
Travel is more than leaving home- It is our chance to bounce off our homes and explore what other places got to offer. Did you know-
- Travel makes you smart
- Gives you an opportunity to Socialize and know more about cultures around the world.
- Lets you bask in the Sun's Glory.
- Broadens your horizon and allows you to see beyond the limited horizons.
- Improves you as a person by boosting your confidence and communication skills.
- Creates memories for you to take home for lifetime.
So travel can really open you to the world; the next question is how do you travel? Reaching out to travel agents so that they can book your hotels, tours and all but have you ever thought of reaching to a travel designers? Or do you know that travel agents and designers are different?…. No! Its ok, Below I have prepared a guide for you which will help you to decide where to reach out for your next travel plan. General difference between a travel designer and travel agent is deep personal relationship between the professional and the client.
Travel Agent
Travel Agents help individuals, groups, and business travellers plan and organize their travel schedules, from purchasing tour packages to booking flights and hotels. They are familiar with the process and skilled to reply to customer queries in a timely manner. Here's a list of common tasks Travel Agents achieve while delivering the travel plans: –
- They provide clients with information about their trip (e.g. flight schedules and accommodation options, transportation, and all related costs), as well as general information about their destinations.
- They work on client requests within the defined borders of the client and rarely go extra mile to deliver an exceptional holiday. In other words they follow the guidelines strictly.
- They plan and organize vacation trips for individuals, families, or groups, overseeing all details including flights, hotels or accommodations, means of transportation, and activities:
- They stick to selling travel and vacation packages to their clients designed by hotels or cruise lines.
Travel Designers
Travel Designer is very close to a travel agent but they are professionally edgy! Crafting the perfect experience for your next holiday is a full-time job they believe!!!. Finding the hotels, seeking out the best activities, learning about all restaurants tucked away on side streets that serve the most mouth-watering local cuisine is the major part of travel ….… and this requires a professional's touch which only travel designers can do.
A travel designer begins the planning by getting to know you as a person and your preferences so they can Plan an experience not a holiday, they know how a marriage between your personality and your preferences can deliver an exceptional journey.
It's about building the relationship in which travel designers are expert!. Rather we should say they are perfect "Match-makers". With years of experience behind them, they always come up with some exotic options in your budget. Travel designers work for you exclusively handling each client as a VIP. Here are some more points where they stand as designers: –
- Travel Designers pride themselves on their distinctive tastes and they work in niche market segment. They might recommend lesser known boutique hotels, even destinations, that don't necessarily have the instantly recognizable label/brand appeal. Most chosen properties are based on their experiences. These are not easy to book as they are either not selling online or are dream getaways.
- Travel Designers typically work with the niche end of the market, dealing with clients who are looking for comprehensive travel planning and guidance. They work with you to plan your travel as an experience and not as an itinerary. They prefer to offer out of box travel plans.
- They develop long-term travel plans based on ages of kids, budget, wish list of destinations, experiences, etc.
- They are for people who want the more than tick boxes from their journey and are travelers not tourists.
- Travel designers work in a controlled ecosystem where they bring together ultimate players in the market and use their own expertise to design the quality experience which offers seamless client satisfaction.
- Travel Designers will go the extra mile for their clients being professionally edgy.
It sounds like a travel designer is a more millennial trend in travel. So if you have any upcoming plans for exploring the destinations….here we are!!!.

Only 10% of Gen Z in the North East are Considering a Career in Manufacturing
Posted on the 7 December 2018
New research from Barclays Corporate Banking shows that only 10% of Generation Z (16-23 year- olds) in the North East are considering a career in manufacturing. 47% of these state this is because the career path does not appeal to them, or they do not believe they have the skills required (50%) for the role.
Instead, young people in the North East aspire towards careers in digital, technology IT and education, with manufacturing ranking only 12th out of 19 potential career paths. One reason why young people are reluctant to take up a career in manufacturing, is that there are misconceptions around the skills that workers can develop: only 39% of young people in the North East believe a career in manufacturing will provide them with advanced technology skills. This is despite the fact that advanced technology is a key driver of growth for UK manufacturing companies. Furthermore, when asked about what they want from their future career, young people in the North East say that the opportunity to constantly build their skills (43%) is one of their top priorities. This shows that although a career in manufacturing could fulfil their future job aspirations, young people are unaware of the opportunities that the sector provides.
The new Barclays Corporate Banking Manufacturing report, A New Image for Manufacturing, surveyed 2,000 16-23 year olds to understand how perceptions of manufacturing have changed, and 500 manufacturing decision makers to reveal what businesses have been doing to recruit new employees, and upskill their existing workforce to use new technologies.
challenge of attracting talent
Many manufacturers recognise that there is a perception barrier to recruitment. 57% of the businesses surveyed in the North East admit that perceptions of careers in manufacturing have become worse over the past 20 years. In particular the research reveals that industry is struggling to attract a diverse workforce, with just 3% of young women in Britain stating they would contemplate a career in manufacturing, compared to 9% of young men in the country. According to the OECD, women in G20 countries account for only one in four university graduates in the STEM based subjects of science, technology, engineering and maths.
Thorpe, North East Corporate Director at Barclays, comments:
"Transforming outdated perceptions of manufacturing isn't an easy feat, as stereotypes are hard to break, but the potential gains that come with a re-invigorated workforce and a new wave of talent in the industry, offer a tangible return on this investment.
"It is clear that there is a mis-match between perceptions of manufacturing and the reality of what a career in manufacturing can provide. The skills most desired by young people include decision-making, complex problem-solving and technical skills but these match the skills that manufacturers say employees gain from working in the industry and highlights the need for businesses to engage and inspire the younger generation.
"Raising a generation from early years to graduation is a 20-year process. In order to have an impact by 2050, manufacturers need to find ways to educate and support the next generation now, or face another 20 years or so grappling against these skills challenges. One solution to this is to focus on appealing to women as well as men as it's clear that there is currently a huge gender gap in perceptions of the manufacturing industry."
Manufacturers in the North East have tried a variety of strategies to overcome recruitment challenges in the past five years, including online marketing (36%), establishing an apprenticeship scheme (29%) and establishing a graduate scheme (29%). Through these partnerships and schemes, manufactures can reach and influence the next generation of workers and promote the wider benefits of a career in manufacturing. The skills most in demand from young people in the North East are social skills (49%), technical skills (27%) and decision making skills (27%). From an industry perspective, a career in manufacturing is well-matched to the skills that young people want to attain. Connecting with young people on their preferred social media platforms can help raise awareness that a career in manufacturing will meet these future aspirations.
are facing a skill gap
Against this backdrop, over a quarter of North East manufacturers (29%) are finding it difficult to recruit, not only among young people but also with experienced workers. Despite many businesses (36%) in the North East receiving an overflow of applications, the candidates applying do not have the right skills for the job, with 50% of North East manufacturers reporting that applicants lack knowledge in science, technology, engineering and maths. The report also found that 43% of businesses in the North East say their employees lack the correct technical skills for the trade (equipment maintenance/repair and quality control), followed by advanced technical skills (14%) (the ability to maintain and manage 4IR technology).
Although, 36% of manufacturing businesses in the North East say they are already seeing workforce morale dip and 36% have noted a strain on their existing workforce due to a lack of new recruits, 36% of businesses do not plan to change their recruitment strategies or invest more in recruitment.
added value in attracting the right talent
Economic modelling undertaken by Barclays for this report concludes that manufacturers in the North East could add an extra £356m to the UK economy per annum by 2023 by investing more in recruitment drives such as apprenticeship programmes, graduate recruitment strategies and collaborations with Universities or other institutions.
However, only 7% of firms in the North East surveyed have plans to promote the benefits of a career in manufacturing over the next five years. Employing these strategies could help tackle misconceptions about manufacturing and encourage the next generation to study the relevant subjects to plug recruitment gaps, resulting in both commercial benefits and a brighter future for manufacturing.

The financial obligations of owning a home are more than just paying the mortgage. Similar to owning a car, your home will need regular upkeep to keep it safe and in great shape. It's your biggest investment — protect it. This will take some budgeting and planning.
Regular upkeep can prevent costly problems from arising, make mechanical systems last longer, and have a positive impact on your home's value. Maintenance will cost you time and money, but it can protect your home's value and ensure the comfort and safety of your family.
To help you plan for home maintenance costs:
- Set aside time and money. Once you move into your new home, you'll need to ensure you plan for the time and money needed to maintain your property, such as lawn care, annual deck cleanings, and duct cleaning.
- Plan ahead for major purchases and home improvements. If you know your roof, for example, will need replacement in a few years, be sure to make this part of your savings plan now.
- Take periodic inventory of your home's appliances, roof, decks, etc. Take note of when warranties end, the age of certain features, and when manufacturers recommend replacement.
- Make sure your insurance is active and current. By maintaining an adequate amount of homeowner's insurance (generally the cost to rebuild your home if damaged or destroyed) you'll have the protection you need for serious damage or a disaster.
Over time, it's likely you'll face repairs or improvements that require professional help. Keep these tips in mind when hiring a professional.

Did you know there are different types of keto lifestyles? All three ketogenic lifestyles are geared towards different objectives. Whether you want to lose weight, build muscle, increase your stamina, or keep a health condition in check, you'll want to choose the lifestyle that matches your specific needs and goals.
While all ketogenic lifestyles have the aim of putting the body into the metabolic state of ketosis, not all keto lifestyles require you to minimize carbs 24/7. Variations on the standard ketogenic lifestyle can help you to reap the many benefits of ketosis, including weight loss, without eating low-carb round the clock.
Depending on your personal circumstances, lifestyle, and current health situation, a variation of the standard ketogenic lifestyle might be worth a try. In addition, if you find yourself struggling with the low-carb aspect of a keto lifestyle, incorporating carbs strategically through one of the variations listed below might be a good idea.
Read on to learn about the three main types of keto lifestyles and choose the one that works for you.
The standard ketogenic lifestyle is by and large the most common type of ketogenic lifestyle. Not to mention, it's fairly simple to follow because you eat as low-carb as possible all the time.
In general, SKL is a low-carb, adequate- to moderate-protein, and high-fat diet. The standard combination of macros is 40-60% fat, 35-40% protein, and 10-25% carbs. On an SKL, you should be consuming between 20 and 50 grams of net carbs per day. Of course, the ideal amount of net carbs varies from individual to individual.
Who Is SKL For?
With SKL, there are no carbohydrate replenishing cycles, as there are with some of the variations you'll read about below. And for the majority of people, SKL works just fine. It's best suited to people who are more sedentary, as well as those who find that their energy levels aren't hindered when they go low-carb. If you don't train too intensely, SKL is probably the best option for you.
Sample SKL Meal Plan:
- Breakfast: Bacon, two fried eggs, sliced tomatoes.
- Lunch: Tuna and boiled egg salad with mayonnaise and cheddar cheese.
- Dinner: Chicken with broccoli cooked in butter.
The targeted ketogenic lifestyle allows you to increase your carbohydrate intake around your workouts. On a TKL, you eat exactly as you would on an SKL, except when you plan on exercising. TKL permits you to have carbs 30 minutes to an hour before you get your workout on.
Of course, with this lifestyle, you need to choose carbohydrates that are easy to digest—otherwise, you risk sabotaging your workout with an upset stomach or bloating. You should try to avoid foods that are high in fructose, as they're more likely to be stored as glycogen in the liver. Instead, opt for glucose-based carbs, which replenish glycogen in the muscles. That's the type of glycogen you need right before a workout.
An effective TKL allows you to consume carbs before exercise without throwing your body out of ketosis. But, here's where a TKL comes down to a science: you need to ensure you're eating just enough carbs that you burn most of them during your workout. If you're someone who varies the intensity of your workouts, you'll need to plan accordingly so that you're not taking in too many carbs and throwing yourself out of ketosis.
As far as net carbs go, 25 to 50 grams within the hour leading up to your workout is a good rule of thumb. But, you may need to tweak that amount depending on the workout. And after you exercise, opt for high-protein foods as opposed to high-fat foods. You want to be careful about consuming fat right after physical activity because it can impair nutrient absorption and slow muscle recovery.
Who Is TKL For?
TKL is best suited to people who train intensely three or more times per week. If you try an SKL and find that your performance is inhibited by a lack of carbs, it's a good idea to try to introduce a reasonable amount of carbs before training.
Sample TKL Meal Plan:
- Breakfast: Egg, spinach, tomato, and goat cheese omelet.
- Lunch: Bun-less burger with cheese, bacon, and avocado.
- Pre-workout snack: Crackers, cheese, hummus, and fruit.
- Dinner: Steak and Caesar salad.
With the cyclic ketogenic lifestyle, things get a tad more complicated. CKL involves following an SKL for five days—typically during the work week—and then stocking up on carbs, known as "refeeding," "carb cycling," or "carb loading" on the weekend. With the CKL, a longer, low-carb period is followed by a short, high-carb period.
The rationale behind a CKL is that it helps you to maintain lean muscle mass. But, another big perk is that it's a lot easier than an SKL. With that in mind, CKLs may not necessarily confer the benefits than an SKL would. You're more or less bingeing on carbs on the weekend, which can take you out of ketosis. Whether or not carb loading takes you out of ketosis will depend on how much you exercise and what type of exercise you do. You have to work out pretty intensely to avoid the effects of too many carbs.
The point of the carb load is to replenish muscle glycogen, helping you to maintain the intensity of your workouts throughout the week. During the refeeding phase, you'll take in between 450 and 600 grams of carbs, compared to 25 to 50 in the low-carb phase.
Who Is CKL For?
Bodybuilders like this option because it helps to boost fat loss while still developing lean muscle. In addition, if you find you're having trouble sticking to a SKL because you're constantly slipping up, giving yourself license to carb load on the weekends might help. Otherwise, CKL isn't recommended.
Sample CKL Meal Plan (Weekday):
See above SKL meal plan.
Sample CKL Meal Plan (Weekend)
- Breakfast: Eggs benedict with ham, hollandaise, and fruit.
- Lunch: Cobb salad.
- Dinner: Alfredo pasta with chicken and parmesan.
For most keto beginners, experimenting to find the right combination of macros is key. You might opt for a higher-protein version of the SKL, with 55% fat, 40% protein, and 5% carbs. The TKL offers the opportunity to stock up on carbs before you exercise, keeping your energy levels up before you hit the gym. Some people simply opt for a CKL in order to reap the benefits of keto and still give themselves a break on the weekend—by having a beer with friends or eating out. It all depends on what you want to get out of your keto lifestyle.
People who engage in high-intensity exercise need to monitor their fatigue levels carefully. Activities such as biking, long-distance running, and intense weightlifting may require you to up your carb intake. If you want to lose fat without exercising too much, SKL is ideal.
Or, you might find that the best approach for you is something in between these three options—and that's okay, too. The point is to find what works for you and stick with it.

Community and Evangelization, part 1
My New Little Series on Evangelization and Community.
I've been thinking lately about two things: evangelization and community, and how they are inter-related. Here's some posts that will toss out these thoughts as I have them. As always, any series that I do are sporadic and incomplete. They are suggestions towards answers, not the answers themselves.
An Introduction to The Idea of Community
Most of my ministry is devoted to the cause of the new evangelization. I am trying to get a sense of where the Spirit is moving the Church today, of how He is transforming things like parish ministries, outreach, the marginalized and forgotten, the active and the devout. The new evangelization seems to suit me because I enjoy the idea of reaching out to Catholics who aren't really all that Catholic. The Mission Ad Gentes is too remote and I'll leave it to better, smarter, holier people to do authentic mystogogy.
Community is more difficult for me because I am a nerd and a bit of a loner when it comes to ministry stuff. Heck, this whole website is somewhat of a testament to that - it's just me typing away in my makeshift office all alone. But community is important, and so I need to focus my energy on developing a sane and helpful approach towards "fostering the Christian community", whatever that means.
The crazy thing was, all this time I guess I just never realized how fostering the Christian community and the task of evangelization cooperate and are inter-related. In fact, I dare say that community and evangelization are interdependent.
Before we go any further, we need to stop and think about community for a second. The theological importance of community cannot be overstated, so let me simply say that without the notion of community there is no Christianity. Thus, that whole Me-And-Jesus mentality that is still insanely popular among our Evangelical friends (ironic) is absolutely unchristian. Here's why (in a not-so-simple post).
Communion of Divine Persons
At the center of Christianity is the core doctrine of the Blessed Trinity, of God Who reveals Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The dogma that God is not a solitary monad, but a communion of Divine Persons, is utterly unique in Christianity. So at the heart of God we find community, from which all human communities participate insofar as they are true communities.
The Father is united to the Son through the Holy Spirit, the bond of reciprocal love in the heart of the Trinity. Lover, Beloved, and the Love that unites them forms the essential communion of existence. Without this understanding of the Trinity as the co-eternal communion of Persons, there is no way that we can say, "God is love". A Muslim cannot say that. A Jew cannot say that. A Zoroastrian cannot say that, nor can a deist hippie say that. Only a Christian believes, apart from Creation, that there is, in the inner life of God, Persons in relation to One Another, and that the unity of those relations is Love. Any religion with the deity as a solitary monad cannot say "God is love" because, apart from Creation, He has nothing co-eternal to love. He cannot be what He does not have. Without an object to love, the subject cannot be a lover. This goes for God as much as for human beings.
(Personal Side Note: This is why I did not become a Muslim in high school. I saw love as a virtue, and virtue as a moral perfection, a good. All goods must be present in the divine nature in their fullness, simplicity, and infinite perfection. But if God is conceived of as a solitary monad, than there cannot be any perfection of goodness that deals with the relations between subject and object. How can love exist at all, let alone infinitely perfect, in the divine nature if God has no beloved object? It only gets worse if we say, "God is love" in relation to Creation, that Creation is His beloved object(s). The problem with this implies still that God has no perfection of love in Himself, but only extrinsically in relation to Creation, which means that God is not perfect because He lacks the perfection of love until He creates some object in which to love. Allah, then, could not be God, nor could Aristotle's God be God because none of them have co-eternal, consubstantial Persons capable of loving and being loved. I also did not become a Muslim in high school because I was rationally convinced that the resurrection of Jesus was historical truth, not fable, thus nullifying contrary claims about His divinity. Whew!)
Communion of Human Persons
Then you have the creation of Man, male and female, expressed in both Genesis 1 and 2 as this existential need of one another's community in order to be complete; or to put it in better terms, in order to completely image God Who is community. In making us persons, God made us for each other. Community is writ large in human nature. We are just as much social animals as we are rational animals.
"It is not good for Man to be alone."
These are powerful and terrifying words in Genesis because the previous 7 or so times God threw out a value-statement, they were all "it was good... it was good... it was good...". The first time something is described as "not good" is when a human person found to be alone, without one like himself to be with in community.
Following Creation, the reader of Sacred Scripture constantly finds God gathering men and women together to form a people, His People. His Family. He may elevate a leader, revealing Himself to an individual person, but never is it meant for that person alone, but to save his people. Just think of the drama surrounding Abraham or Moses, God rescued this one person in order to be the leader, the father, the priest of His People. God saves the one in order to save the many. That is how He works because that is Who He is, it is His essence. Action follows being, never forget that wisdom of the Medievals.
This pattern continues throughout salvation history, including the rise of the Davidic monarchy, the Prophets, and all the rest.
Communion of Saints
Finally, we have Jesus who came that we might have life. He taught us human children how to be children of the Father again, and then did the work of redemption so that we actually could be children of the Father. Since the Trinity has broken into the world in a new way, that divine Community is poured onto the human race, creating the union of the divine family with the human family, forming something that never existed before and will never be surpassed.
Jesus came to gather a People unto Himself, like a mother hen gathers her chicks. He taught us to say Our Father, not My Father. He obliterated sin, the obstacle to our oneness with the Trinity, in order to redeem us for eternal life, which is union with the Trinity. And just as the Father is united to the Son through the bond of Love called the Holy Spirit, so too does the Spirit of Jesus fall upon all those who have faith in His name and receive the initiation into His Body through Baptism.
"One Lord, one faith, one baptism."
He gave us the Spirit, the Catholic Church, the union of believers, the communion of saints. It is little wonder, then, why the highest act of worship that Jesus gave to us to give back to the Father is the gift of Himself in the Sacrament we often call "Communion".
Conclusion To This Part on Community
If you still do not think that community is essential to Christianity, there is no hope left for you. Your Me-And-Jesus disease has consumed you completely.

Guess Where Designers Are Putting Wallpaper Now!
With statement ceilings turning into a big thing right now, more and more designers are adding wallpaper to ceilings. The fastest and easiest way to join in the statement ceiling trend is by sticking wallpaper to your ceiling.
Putting wallpaper on your ceiling makes a bold statement, especially if you're tired of having a minimalist space. A great thing about wallpapered ceilings is that they give you the same amount of style as an accent wall minus the pressure. Accent walls tend to be a hit-or-miss, and everyone has to see it. Wallpaper ceilings are subtler, it's not the first thing people to see in a space (unless your ceiling wallpaper is in a wild, eclectic pattern). Wallpaper on your ceiling can add a subtle touch of texture yet a lot personality.
Adding wallpaper to your ceiling is a cheap way to renovate and update a space. Also, if you're tired of the pattern, it's just as easy to take down and replace with a fresh, new sheet of wallpaper.
How to Put Wallpaper on Your Ceiling
1 Head to the Hardware Store
Measure how much ceiling space you want to cover with wallpaper. Check if the wallpaper already has adhesive on it, if not, ask the hardware store how much adhesive you'll need for how much wallpaper you'll be getting. Gte a paint roller and a sponge while you're at the store too.
2 Prep Time
To apply wallpaper to your ceiling, make sure that your ceiling is clean. Most hardware stores have a primer to help you stick your wallpaper evenly and with ease. On the back of your wallpaper, put on the adhesive as directed by the bottle.
3 Applying the Wallpaper
You can't do this project on your own, call a friend over to help you out and avoid any accidents. Get on a ladder and trail the wallpaper on your ceiling. Have your friend aid the rest of the wallpaper with a dry, flat mop. When you're placing the next sheet of wallpaper, remember to match the seams for a consistent pattern flow.
4 Bubble Free
With a clean and dry sponge, gently rub through the wallpaper. This helps absorb the excess adhesive and remove any air bubbles that can make your ceiling look uneven.
Let it dry and enjoy your new ceiling! Would you try this interior design trend?

Monumental win shakes NCAA lax landscape
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Sometimes it takes a bully to beat a bully. That's what happened on Saturday when the #3 ranked University at Albany men's lacrosse team knocked off #8 Syracuse 15-3 in front of a lively crowd of 7,238 in the Carrier Dome.
It was the second time in program history that the Great Danes beat the Orange, with the last coming in 2013.
Last year the Danes lost 10-9 to the Orange in the opening game of the season, with the deciding goal coming in the last seconds for Syracuse. UAlbany was just that close to knocking off a perennial power and elevating their program just a season ago.
With the addition of number one recruit in the nation, Tehoka Nanticoke, this year it was a level playing field, but surprisingly a lopsided affair.
Nanticoke scored five goals in his collegiate debut. The 6'1" 235 lb freshman seemed unstoppable as he bullied his way toward the Syracuse goal. On several occasions the oversized attackman drew double and triple teams from the Orange defenders, but that didn't stop him from overpowering his way to the goal. With the combination of his size and ubove average stick handles, Nanticoke put the Danes on his back and created a ripple in the men's college lacrosse landscape.
Listening to @AnishESPN compare @Tehoka1 to a triceratops and talk about his #SCtop10 one-handed between the leg goals was one of my favorite STAT Sports moments on @wcdb. You won't be disappointed. Full interview: https://t.co/UlW225FwII @UAlbanySports @UAlbanyMLax @1045TheTeam pic.twitter.com/fZh9shoMtA

"He's a big boy so that's one thing. The ability with his stick is really good. When you combine that with his big body is he's really hard to control," said Syracuse junior defensemen Tyson Bomberry, who drew the tough task of defending the freshman phenom.
The Great Danes have been trounced by the Orange traditionally and have only defeated the Orange once in 16 tries coming into Saturday's matchup. The Syracuse men's lacrosse team has never taken the trip down I-90 to play the Danes at UAlbany. Every time the two teams have squared off have been in the Carrier Dome, a place where 1,000 plus UAlbany fans traveled to this past week.
"I would like to say thank you to all of the people from Albany that drove out to our game," said UAlbany Head Coach Scott Marr. "The crowd support we had was unreal. It just gave us a lot of energy. So I really appreciate those people taking the ride across I-90 watching us play today and really give us support."
The Danes only trailed once in the game and that was when Syracuse attackman Jamie Trimboli netted a goal assisted by teammate Matt Lane with 11:50 in the 1st quarter. From there the Danes scored seven unanswered goals, kicked off by Jakob Patterson, who flung in four goals on the day.
TD Ierlan made quick work of the second goal when he won the ensuing faceoff, raced down the field, put a move on a defender and shot the ball in the net only taking eight seconds off the clock. This gave the Danes a lot of confidence and when they took the lead they played with the presence that not only did they deserve to be there, but they were just the all-around better team.
The Danes took a 4-1 lead to the break, but the scoreboard was kinder to the Orange than the actual game in the first half.
The third quarter is where the Danes put their stamp on the game. They outscored the Orange 7-1 in the period and Nanticoke scored four of his five goals in those 15 minutes alone. One of which was a behind the back shot that he one-hopped into the back of the net. Nanticoke's creativity gives him a lot of opportunities that a traditional player would not see on the field.
Team caption Connor Fields picked up where he left off in the 2017 campaign. The senior attacker scored back-to-back goals in the 3rd quarter that were less than a minute away from each other to push the Danes' lead to 10-2. He also had two assists on the day. Fields knifed his way in front of the 'Cuse goal and when the Orange defense collapsed to defend him, Fields flipped the ball behind his back to Kyle McClancy who ripped a shot in for a score.
"I felt like I took my opportunities I had. I feel like I can improve a lot and I'm glad to be here for the next four years," said Nanticoke.
It was the first time that Connor Fields and the rest of the senior class on the team defeated the Orange and it was a big step for the program and a great way to kick of the 2018 campaign.
"Our senior class we were 0-4 coming into this game against Syracuse. We think this is a big step for our team and we're just trying to gain momentum off of it," said Fields
"It's my freshman year getting my first win. And getting these guys that first win against Syracuse I think it means a lot just to be able to be here and help them out," said Nanticoke.
"It was a great win for sure to get off to 1-0 and beat Syracuse for the second time in our program history, but at the same time we're just going to keep working and keep building for the next game," said Marr.
That game is this Saturday when the UAlbany hosts Drexel for a game at Casey Stadium that starts at noon. Last year the Danes pummeled the Dragons 19-8 and this year they are looking to build on their momentum they established this past Saturday.
"Our offense is still progressing. I don't think we're quite there yet. I think we still have to figure some things out and get a little more flow to our game," said Marr. "We'll certainly enjoy the win, but we have Drexel this Saturday and that's just one of 15 games on our schedule."

How can someone break into event planning?
Are there any qualifications, certifications or degrees required? It's another one of the many careers I'm interested in.
I was never formally trained, I learned it all on my own, by working in the trenches and asking questions. As far as an event planner goes, you need to get your foot in the door at a catering place...this will show you how things work and the all basic concepts. Ask questions and take some initiative, if you are luckly, you could move up rather quickly. Organization and people skills are very important for this, so work on that. If you really want some formal education, I would recommend a few Business courses. You may want to check out some of the culinary schools as well, as popular as the industry is today, you may find Event Planner courses there. Hope this helps you, good luck Skylar and keep me up to date !
I'm not aware of any degrees or certifications required in most markets. Developing a reputation for reliable performance and customer satisfaction seems key. You can start out with a job with any of the various companies that are involved in event staging: caterers, bartending services, valet parking services, tent & table & chair rental outfits, florists, lighting & sound set-up professionals, etc. Just about every one of those companies has to often hire people quickly to staff up for their coming events. Once in the door, pay attention to how the events are planned, express an interest in it, and take on more duties related to scheduling, logistics, budget, trouble-shooting, etc., until you become recognized as a good planner. Name recognition will follow, and you'll be on your way.
I would go big by hosting a free event to promote my event planning services. I'm talking about a nice event, with dueling pianos and chocolate fountains.
Pick a date about 3-4 months away and book an event hall or restaurant for a few hours. Make sure it is not cheap, and that you have to pay a deposit. The key is to lock yourself in so that you have to do it.
Spend a week selecting a theme and your niche market to invite, which should be a group of professionals who need event planning services (real estate agents, sales professionals, travel agents, banks, etc).
Build a website for your event. Also tie it to your event planning website to showcase what you can do.
Make a flyer promoting your event that includes your theme. Make it classy. Email it to a chamber of commerce directory or just go through the yellow pages and find businesses to invite. Include two free tickets in each letter.
Make follow up calls to the owners of key businesses. Don't forget local charities who always are organizing balls and dances, etc.
Aim for 50 people to attend. Spend time planning your kickoff event. This will be your resume and your training. If you do it right, you will demonstrate your skills.
If your event is a failure, you should try again with a different niche or decide whether it is something you can continue to do.
If it works, you may get a few requests to plan parties for your event attendees. I do not know how much profit you can make, but I assume for at least a year it will be minimal or even a loss as you advertise and build up a client base.
I know of people who did this and one makes $25,000 per event, and only does four events per year.
(I didn't intend to type this much; May have to write a Hub about it
Jobs in the line of planning meetings, events and conferences are increasing, especially in government, and are expected to add 16% more new jobs over 2008 totals by 2018. The average wage is fairly high at over $23.00/hr and many of these positions do not yet require a college degree. Experience can be more important than a degree. read more

Syfy renews Z Nation for season 5. Ever since The Walking Dead first aired on Halloween Night in 2010, zombies have come to dominate the landscape of the horror genre. Be it in literature - such as Michael Logan's Apocalypse Cow and Peter Clines' Ex-Heroes series - or on the big screen, as in the movies World War Z and Warm Bodies, the shambling undead have never been more prominent in the pop culture zeitgeist.
Z Nation is one of the many zombie-themed series to make its way onto cable television, hoping to win some of the same attention and acclaim as The Walking Dead. The first television series produced by The Asylum - the production company behind the Sharknado movies and over 250 other "mockbuster" films - the series recently concluded its fourth season with a two-hour special.
Related: Z Nation Reveals the Dark Truth Behind Zona
An announcement on the Twitter feed of The Asylum's CEO David Michael Latt confirmed that the Syfy network has renewed Z Nation for a 5th season. Though mum on the details of exactly what fans could expect, Latt said that the new series will air sometime in 2018.
THANK YOU #ZNATION FANS - WE'VE BEEN RENEWED FOR A 5TH SEASON!— David Michael Latt (@DavidMLatt) December 15, 2017
How could @SYFY say no? #ITSAFANTHING !

To All: Enjoy tonight's 2 HOUR SEASON FINALE & #LiveTweet with us! Z Giveaways!@theasylumcc @unrealkarl @craigengler pic.twitter.com/d55xb8xs5h
Set thee years into a post-apocalyptic future where the collapse of American society was triggered by the release of a man-made virus that transformed the infected into zombies, Z Nation follows the adventures and misadventures of one band of survivors who seek a cure for the plague that destroyed their world. The key to their mission is Alvin Murphy (Keith Allan) - a former prisoner the group seeks to escort from New York to the last known operational Center For Disease Control laboratory in California.
Part of an experiment in the final days before the government's collapse to find a vaccine for the zombie-making virus, Murphy's blood contains antibodies capable of fighting the zombie virus. Despite his apparent good health, Murphy has come to resemble a zombie even though he retains full control of his faculties. He also possesses some kind of power that allows him to control zombies as well as any normal human that he bites.
Z Nation also stars Kellita Smith as Lt. Roberta Warren, DJ Qualls as Simon "Citizen Z" Cruller, Anastasia Baranova as Addison Grace "Addy" Carver, Russell Hodgkinson as Steven "Doc" Beck, Nat Zang as Tomas "10K", Sydney Viengluang as Sun Mei, Ramona Young as Kaya, Natalie Jongjaroenlarp as Red, Holden Goyette as "Nature Boy"/5K, Gracie Gillam as Sgt. Lilley and Henry Rollins as Lt. Mueller.
