Online PhD in Social Work
Are you ready to take your career in social work to the next level? Graduate social work degrees prepare students with cognitive skills and theoretical background they need to become leaders in their field. Whether your specialty is research or hands-on social welfare work, a PhD in social work will sharpen your skills and open doors to new worlds of opportunity.
What You Can Expect
Your bachelor's degree probably prepared you for hands-on work in the field, in counseling or social services. Conversely, theory and research are the primary focuses of a doctorate degree. Once you choose your concentration, much of your time will be structured toward theory and method within the boundaries of the concentration, from social policy to administration to research. In addition to normal coursework, there may be the possibility of concurrent research internship work. There will also likely be a written assignment, paired with a dissertation and oral defense given before a panel of professors and authorities, to prove one's expertise and productivity within the subject.
Where You Can Go
Good news for students with degrees from social work colleges: this field of work is expected to grow significantly within the next ten years, with a workforce estimated to increase by as much as 22% by 2016. Luckily, schools are keeping up. Many colleges, like renowned and accredited Argosy University, are offering Doctorates in psychology and professional counseling at both online and at campus locations.

Cheese Chat with Juliet Harbutt
Juliet Harbutt is Hawke's Bay's renowned cheese master. After 35 years abroad in the U.K. where she owned her own wine and cheese shop in London, Juliet returned to New Zealand and moved to Hawke's Bay for a new adventure.
Now Juliet is sharing her extensive knowledge and love for cheese with Hawke's Bay locals and lucky visitors through 'Hunter Gatherer Tours' - the ultimate foodie experience drawing on the regions outstanding produce.
We sat down with Juliet in her beautiful home to chat Summer F.A.W.C!, and all things cheese.
Most of us love cheese, but what made you take the leap to work with it?
I had a delicatessen restaurant in Wellington, back in the 80s and I had been working very hard for about 4 years and I decided I needed time off for good behavior, so I took myself off to Europe looking for ideas. I went to Paris, this little wine shop with wines from lesser known regions in France, and in order to persuade you to try them, they offered you a little bit of cheese.
I tasted the cheese and I thought 'Oh My God' if this is cheese, this is extraordinary! This is amazing! I went around Paris and tried all of these cheeses, then travelled back to New Zealand, sold my business, and started a wine and cheese shop in London.
How and why did you start Hunter Gatherer Tours?
So, when I came back to New Zealand after 35 years in the U.K., I had never lived in Hawke's Bay, so it was all new to me and fun. I discovered all this artisan food around Hawke's Bay, and also discovered you can be an expert in cheese, but we don't have the facilities for a cheese tour. So, I thought, what else can I do? Hawke's Bay is all about tourism – why don't I do a tour? Then I suddenly came up with this 'Hunter Gatherer Tours' idea out of nowhere, and off I went.
What is the most rewarding thing about your new business venture?
The look on people's faces at the end of the day, the sense of pleasure and joy that people after they've done my tour. It sounds incredibly trite, but what they love about it is coming to my home, and being welcomed in my home, and that's what I also love about it.
What are some 'rules of thumb' around matching cheese to wine, cider or beer?
There are basic rules that do work. With wine you could say: the lighter and brighter the wine, the lighter and whiter the cheese. The richer and darker the wine, the harder and yellower the cheese. It's a rough kind of rule for people who don't know anything about cheese. Cider and beer are the best kept secret, they work really well.
I see – is there a 'perfect pairing'?
There is a perfect pairing, but they can't find that out unless the come to my tours! It's an absolute secret!
Are there any cheeses that suit a season? If so, what are some great cheeses for Spring?
Basically, one of the nice things about cheese is that they are seasonal. Particularly sheep and goats' milk cheeses. September/October is the beginning of the milk season, and then is in full flow in summer. So those cheeses come in early as they take a small amount of time to ripen. If you are making hard cheeses in October, they will come into their own the following year around August – you've got that season running through, depending on how hard the cheese is.
What are your favourite cheeses?
Asking me what my favourite cheeses are is like asking somebody which is their favourite child. So, I'm not admitting it! Impossible to choose! What I do say to people, if you can't find the one you love, love the one you find.
Tell us about 'School for Big Cheeses' – What can F.A.W.C!ers expect from your masterclasses?
It's all about educating and inspiring people about the magic of cheese, and to help people develop a knowledge of cheese by providing them with the ground rules on which to judge them. Hence, the joke about being a 'school.' Without the ground rules, you can't build your knowledge, so you go around in circles buying the same cheeses over and over again. It's a bit like people who say "I don't know much about wine, but I know the one's I like." Well, that may be a disgusting wine because you have no way of judging it. People will understand how amazing cheese is, the cheese process, how they differ, why the differ, and why you may need to pay more for them.

So who is Grant Cardone?
Well I don't know exactly, does Grant Cardone himself even know who Grant Cardone is?
This question can be perceived in a variety of different ways it can be philosophical, it can be vague, it can even be simplified as to what Grant Cardone does for a living, or what accomplishments he has achieved. All of those cliché answers like what he has accomplished or how he earns a living is way to typical of an answer and in my opinion, it's not a complete answer.
How does Wikipedia answer the question of who is Grant Cardone?
Wikipedia says that he is a author, motivation speaker, real estate investor, & sales trainer.
Now I'm sure even Grant would agree with me this is just scratching the surface. There must be a vast amount of mystery around who Grant Cardone is as a person. He's a father, a husband, as well as those things Wikipedia says he is.
I have read 6 of Grant's books and I even made book summary videos on many of his books that I've read! Of his books I have read, "10X Rule," "Be Obsessed or Be Average," "Secrets of Selling," "Sell or Be Sold," "The Closers Survival Guide," & "The Millionaire Booklet." The reason for reading so much of his books is surprising not because of my YouTube channel but actually it's due to my day job in sales, (Real estate). There is much value regarding sales from Grant Cardone, believe me if there wasn't I would of stopped reading at the 1st book I read of his.
Also as a side note Grant Cardone is literally one of my favorite narrators in audiobooks. Grant is super captivating, convincing, funny, and overall entertaining as well as informative.
So who is Grant Cardone?
I think this question will conjure a variety of different answers as well as a variety of different perceptions regarding the question itself! So the vague answer is on the internet just Google the dude.
A more valuable way for you to answer this question is… Who is Grant Cardone for you? What is your perception of him, and how is he valuable for you in your life?
To give you an example, Grant Cardone for me is a virtual sales/entrepreneurship mentor.
I'm on board for acknowledging him as a father, husband, real estate investor, motivational speakers, etc…
But for me Grant Cardone is a virtual sales/entrepreneurship mentor.
Without Grants help I would not have exceled at my sales job achieving "rookie of the year," & a consistent increase in income year by year.
So again for me to answer the question of:
Who is Grant Cardone?
I have to put it into context regarding my life. Grant Cardone is a virtual sales/entrepreneurship mentor to me, as well as a great author, which I recommend for anyone involved in sales, business, & entrepreneurship.
Now I am going to turn the question over to you.
Who is Grant Cardone to you?
Comment what is your perspective of Grant Cardone, how has his content served you in a valuable way.
Thank you for checking out this blog post & until the next one remember…
To always be learning, always be creating, & always be inspired!
Roars to you,
Matthew aka TridentLion

Sadly, the end of August means that summer days are dwindling. For families it also means that, if the kids aren't already back to school, they soon will be.
That means shelling out lots of dollars on everything from new sneaks to binders to backpacks.
According to the National Retail Federation, the average U.S. family will spend $634.78 per child on apparel, shoes, supplies and electronics.
I'm not sure how accurately this reflects what Canadian families spend, but I'm positive I doled out at least that on my kids – over 25 years ago!
Back to school shopping was a very stressful time. I had a limited budget, and my sons insisted they had to have brand name clothing and the most expensive supplies. Often we came home with all of us in tears.
To avoid these stresses, here are some tips to involve your kids in the planning and purchases. Let your younger kids and teens figure out exactly what school really costs. It's a fabulous learning opportunity for even the youngest ones.
Back To School Shopping
1. Set a budget: Unless you've been setting money aside all year, you'll need to determine what you can comfortably spend without blowing your overall budget. Scoring bargains doesn't help your bottom line if you're paying hefty interest charges on your credit cards.
Related: The Best Balance Transfer Credit Cards
Make a back-to-school list for each child and set an amount. Eliminate guesswork by getting a list of supplies from your child's teacher ahead of time.
2. Give kids a say: Involve your kids in the budgeting process. Get them to prioritize expenses between "must-haves" and "nice to haves." As an incentive offer to split the savings with them if shopping comes under budget.
3. Take inventory: Not everything has to be brand new. Go through closets, drawers and desks. If the jeans still fit and last year's felt tip pens still write you only need to stock up on what else they really need.
4. Hit the stores: Retailers have been offering back to school merchandise since July, but now the rush is on. Kids have big "gimme" eyes when they see all that stuff on display. They want it all!
Don't waste your money on those huge binders with cunning little pockets and zippered pouches that are often too big to fit in a backpack. Likewise be wary of the flashy stuff like feathered pens and day-glo markers. Keep it simple.
5. Be label wary: Teens especially can be label-conscious, wanting just the right brand name on their jacket or shoes, but even your youngest can be attracted to pricey licensed-character items.
Related: How Many Clothes Do You Need, Anyway?
Buying the latest "gotta-have-its" is risky. Favourite TV shows and movies change, and may be uncool next month. Your child will then refuse to wear the logo t-shirt, no matter how much you paid.
Do a bit of horse-trading. "The budget will let you buy the backpack only if we choose less expensive binders."
Give teens choices, but make the limits clear. If it's beyond your budget, let them figure out how to buy the item cheaper (wait for a sale, check consignment stores). Or they can pay a portion themselves. If teens use their own money it may make them think harder about their choices.
6. Shop the end-of-season sales: Even if stores are showing cool fall and winter wear, stock up now on end-of-season sales for shorts, tops and other appropriate summery clothes that can be worn in September. By October all the cold weather wear will be headed for the sale racks.
Spread out school clothes shopping over the next 9 months so your kids don't grow out of everything all at once. Replace as needed.
Related: What Kind Of Buyer Are You?
Budget some cash for season-end discount buys. Stock up on basics that will be needed all year – loose-leaf paper, spiral notebooks, pens and pencils, erasers, markers and crayons. This is also the time to buy the glittery pens and light-up pencil sharpeners at a discount. They make great Christmas stocking stuffers.
7. Give your children the cash to make their own purchases: To train kids to be financially confident they need to be given the ability to make their own financial decisions – then be required to live with the consequences, good or bad.
A woman I'll call Marj had a constant battle with her 14-year-old daughter when she wanted brand name clothing – whatever she thought the "cool" kids had. She wouldn't set foot in a thrift or discount store.
Marj gave her daughter a set amount of money for a clothing and necessities allowance each month. She learned to figure out what she needed and then budget for it. She learned to make long-term plans. She still dressed fashionably, but did it by stretching her money and comparison-shopping.
It can be hard on parents because we so want to bail them out, but accepting the consequences of their decisions is the best way to make sure our kids don't repeat their mistakes while they are still in the safety net of home.
Final thought
Wal-Mart has a couple of cute back to school commercials featuring the "overly-enthusiastic" mom and the "emotional" mom. I can relate to both.

Why Thessaloniki?
- The city of Thessaloniki, embodying both classical and modern elements, is the second largest city of the country and the economic and cultural capital of the northern part of Greece.
- Throughout time, Thessaloniki has been a crossroads for six different cultures: the Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, Jewish, and Greek. As a result, one can find within the city's preserved Byzantine-Ottoman fortifications one of the most impressive concentrations of Hellenic temples, roman fora, byzantine citadel and churches, ottoman mosques and baths as well as a wide array of museums: The Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki and the Museum of Byzantine Culture, but also more unexpected ones, like the Lazarist Museum, which has the largest collection in the world of soviet avant-garde art.
The surrounding regions propose a variety of prominent archaeological and heritage sites—many of which are recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites— covering in continuity more than 2300 years of history. Among these one may mention the ancient tomb of Amphipolis; the ancient sites of Pella, Dion, Olynthos; the Macedonian tombs of Vergina; the unique monastic community of Mount Athos; the monasteries of the Meteora.
- Famous for its vibrant contemporary cultural scene, Thessaloniki is the host of many international events, such as the Thessaloniki International Trade Fair and the Thessaloniki International Film Festival, which attract people from all around the world. The city also has a very strong academic community, home of the country's largest academic institution, The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Recently, Thessaloniki was awarded the prestigious title of "European Youth Capital 2014," after presenting its candidature program entitled "Time-Chronos," which aims to project the city's history and role in South Eastern Europe.

Like every year, this year too, BJS is doing all that it can, to provide succour to the drought-prone regions in the state. Incidentally , the 'Water cup', a contest initiated by Paani Foundation with an aim to make Maharashtra drought-free had received a very heartening response from the villages last year . The contest centred around the spirit of self- development through collective action on the part of participating villagers who were expected to get trained in water management and make their villages self-sufficient through shramdaan. BJS thinks that this initiative has been the first ever, on the principle of Gandhi ji's 'self-sufficiency ' since Independence.
In this year's water cup competition, BJS is determined to support participating villages of 75 talukas to complete the shramdaan by providing machines to tackle difficult work.
Once again BJS is fully prepared to make the villages participating in water cup competition, drought free.
Satyameva Jayate water cup competition 2018 announced on 12th January at Mumbai.
Hon'ble Chief Minister Shri. Devendra Fadnavis, Shri. Amir Khan, Cine Actor and Founder- Paani Foundation, Smt. Kiran Rao, Shri. Satyajit Bhatkal, Shri Shantilal Muttha- Founder BJS, Renowned Industrialist Shri. Ratan Tata, Shri. Mukesh Ambani was among the dignitaries present on this occasion.

CBD Info
What is CBD?
The CBD used in our Life Elements CBD & Honey™ Collection is derived from industrial hemp, which has the same properties as cannabis-derived CBD, but contains less than 0.3% THC., making it available to anyone in any state, even those without medical marijuana laws.* Cannabidiol, or CBD, has a wide variety of medicinal and therapeutic effects and is a known anti-inflammatory, with antioxidant and anti-aging properties. As an antioxidant, CBD can help protect the skin from free radicals like UV rays, smoke, and environmental pollutants. Free radicals lead to wrinkles and fine lines, but antioxidants protect our skin from this damage and help fight the effects of aging.
Is it legal?
All of the CBD & Honey™ products are made with Hemp-derived CBD, which is legal in all 50 states.
What exactly is a "topical" and does it contain THC?
Topical cannabis applications (by law) have less than 0.3% THC. They do not cross the blood/brain barrier and are non-psychoactive.
Will I get high?
No. Unlike THC, CBD is inert and does not produce any psychoactive effects, i.e. it will not get you "high." Our topical products are designed for localized treatment speaking to the CB2 receptors in the skin, not the CB1 receptors in the brain.
What is "Full Spectrum hemp oil?"
Full-spectrum hemp oil refers to pure hemp oil which includes the same cannabinoid profile present in the original hemp plant. This is crucial because it allows the cannabinoids to function together, resulting in higher efficacy and perfectly reflects the saying: The sum is greater than the whole of the parts, otherwise know as the "entourage effect."

Aruba, One Happy Island
September 5, 2016
by Travelgirl
Aruba has been my home for the last 2.5 years, I truly enjoyed the place from the very beginning. One of the highlights of this beautiful island which will remain in my memories and always bring a smile to my face is the particular way the wind blows, that amazing breeze, made me realize I was exactly where I needed to be.
Get Started
Needless to say, if you are in need of a getaway from the cold weather or just a get away from your regular day to day, Aruba is one of your best options. I am not a big planner I have to say, but I am a bit impulsive and an opportunity taker, being impulsive does not always turn out good in other aspects of my life but when it comes to traveling you just have to decide to do it, everything else will fall into place and there will never be regrets!
So just pick some days and make that decision. If you decide to travel alone, no worries, people are really friendly over there, you will have a great time and most likely make some new friends as well. I am a big fan of diversity therefore I love meeting new people from different backgrounds, is one of the things that reminds me that life is amazing.
I am sure there are different travel agencies that can make your trip easier, I always choose booking directly and figure little by little what to do there, that is because I am flexible with my choices. Thee are only a couple of restaurants that in two cases you have to book in advanced. One is if you are traveling with a big party and the other one if you are traveling during holiday season, like Christmas, New Years or any sort of event like that.
There are different options depending on your budget, there are two main areas you want to stick to, closer to the action. High and Low rise areas.
The most known as the high rise area: if you stay here you can walk pretty much all over for breakfast, lunch, dinner, party and activities. Certain famous restaurants are located 10-15 min by taxi from anywhere you stay. Is a small island so you can choose just to take a cab in case you decide to go there.
The low rise: a bit more quiet, you will probably have to take cabs for most of the places except the beach.
I rented a house, sharing with two friends, this is a great option specially if you are staying a bit longer, you get to enjoy the island from a local perspective and not just as a tourist, definitely my way of traveling. Most likely you will have to rent a car as well, you can also rent a bike, but remember is really hot!
Getting around
If you are adventurous renting a car may be a good option, if so, do a 4×4, so you can go off road as well to the Natural Pools… super nice!
If you are not that adventurous, you should know that even though is a small island, it could be frustrating to drive, as there are no signs all over the place.
If you are staying for a long period, renting a car is still the best option. If you are staying for some days only I would recommend getting a car for at least two or three days and explore around, getting off the touristic area, is all safe!
Spend the rest of your vacations on the water, taking advantage of the numerous happy hours in many beach bars and just relaxing doing nothing as you deserve, well not nothing nothing, but doing anything you want without the pressure of having to do certain thing or another, just being present and living the moment.
One thing I notice from vacationers, they can not let go of the routine and daily pressure and they get trapped on the must do! so they get stressed on their own free time, and if something does not go the way planned, vacations are ruined. Please do not do that, choose your activity and enjoy to the fullest being present, feel free, you are on vacations, isn't it the time you can truly do whatever you want? if not now when? there is no wrong or right, is your choice, your ¨me time¨ do not take that away from yourself.
Going back to getting around, the rest of the days of your short trip you can take cabs, super easy, they are usually just outside the hotels, usually any establishment will be happy to call you a cab if needed.
For tours, they will usually pick you up from any hotel.
Make sure to hit all happy hour usually associated to live bands!
My personal favorites places to have a drink, relax and really feel on vacations are at Nos Club Huis, Moomba and Bugaloe. I loved these ones specially because of the island vibe you get.
For a long while I got trapped in the night life, as is so easy to go anywhere and there is always fun everyday, these were my favorites spots:
At night I enjoyed Sopranos, a Piano Bar located in the High Rise area walking distance from there you have Sand Bar for pure Latin Music, keep walking and there is Asia, a bit fancier place for drinks and bites, keep walking and you will find Gusto. Gusto is a night club where I used to go a lot! I enjoyed it so much, the daily happy hour, the friendly bartenders and bouncers, the mix of music and the regular customers was always a good idea to have a good time. I must say many of other friends did not like the fact that is small and can get really crowded. No so much Latin music is played in this club.
There was a new place opening called 297 around the area, seemed to be a little bit more of a Miami Lounge/restaurant style. Never got to see it, but some friends who currently live in Aruba have been telling me is really fun and one new spot to go.
The Mill is the only club that is still open when the others are closed, so generally people go there after 3:00 am on the weekends. Had good parties there but also can get a bit weird late at night.On Saturdays, at the Mill, there is a tiny bar on the 3rd floor for the ones who want to go on and on, Electronic music.
On Sundays early evening, around 6:00 am enjoy the live band followed by a DJ at Moomba. I love this bar on the beach, really relaxing specially love the live band where you can dance on the sand and watch the sunset…my fav!
Every once in a while there is an art fair called Korteweg, make sure to find out if there is one while you are there, just a quick stop is always nice to see local art of young artist and artisans, plus you can make new friends as well, usually some nice drinks and local food is served as well.
The Hotel Renaissance in Downtown has life DJ 5pm to 8 pm everyday by the pool. Also a great option to vary once is a while, more of a chilling atmosphere.
In Aruba, there are some really fun events, usually by the beach, Flip Flop Festival, Love Festival, the Electric Festival. Another one that I truly enjoyed was the International beach Tennis Tournament, lots of memories and good fun to never forget. Make sure to check on the calendar when you are there and maybe you can hit one of these events.
Link to calendar of events: http://www.aruba.com/things-to-do/calendar-events-2016
Try to take a yoga class while you are there, is so nice to connect with yourself, specially in a place like Aruba, if you think about it all you are on a piece of rock in the middle of the ocean. There is yoga by the beach or my personal favorite Happy Buddha Aruba, also good place to connect with locals.
You will find all kind of water sport activities, I love the calm and not so easy paddle boarding, love diving, however the clarity of the water is not as amazing as in other Caribbean islands.
Beaches I will never forget, Boca Catalina, Tres Trapi (this one does not have much sand to lay down but the landscape is really islandy. In this case I am not king on to staying at the hotel beach as I just love being on a beach almost by myself and you can do this in Aruba so why not? Hotel beaches are usually very crowded, well depending on the hotel. If you see a crowded beach do not hesitate to rent a car and drive to one of the mentioned beaches above.
Make sure to take a boat trip! the best you can do in the Caribbean, just go for a nice sail and enjoy being surrounded by water, feel the breeze, I will never forget the wind in Aruba, get connected with nature and breath really deep!
I also loved the Butterfly farm, is small, you only take 30 min visiting it but is so cute and magical.
If you stay at The Renaissance Hotel you get access to a small little island where you can get to hang out with flamingos.
So many options! I will only mention my personal favorites, or the ones I used to go more often, must have been for a reason.
Zeerover is not a must but is an experience, you will feel the freshness of the fish, it is all deep fried so nothing fancy, one of those days you have rented a car, you can stop there for lunch! is a local ocean side where fish and shrimps are served by the weight.
On the causal but a little bit more upscale side I would like to say Pinchos or West Deck for dinner. If you have rented a car then Flying fish-bone is also super nice landscape.
Fancier than that, Quinta del Carmen, Madame Janette or Papiamento have great atmosphere. Still everything on the island is casual, no ties or jackets unless you want to wear them of course you are free to do anything that makes you happy.
For Italian, Casa Tua was my usual, perfect for an easy night followed by a drink at the Piano Bar next to it.
Enjoy! …

Six in ten local councils have poorer website accessibility than the private sector firms with the best sites, according to Socitm.
Abbey and Barclays banks, supermarkets Tesco and Marks & Spencer, and travel site First Choice all demonstrated strong success in useful accessibility features, according to the report. These included the option to change text size and contrast, and offering video and audio transcripts.
But as a whole, most councils had a better awareness of overall of accessibility issues, and had taken more steps to improve their policy, than the private sector, according to a supplement to the report 'A world denied'.
The highest performing councils included Warwick, Barking & Dagenham, Salford City and Cardiff County.
Socitm also examined website accessibility statements that, according to the latest guidance from the government's Central Office of Information and the British Standards Institute, play a central role in helping that websites are accessible to users with disabilities.
Many local council sites had a good accessibility statement, which often indicated they took the issue seriously, Socitm said. Some 79 percent of councils have a link on their homepage to an accessibility statement, compared to 44 percent in the private sector.
Martin Greenwood, programme director at Socitm Insight and author of the supplement, said all organisations should create an accessibility statement based on the COI and BSi criteria. "The accessibility statement plays a key part in any campaign for raising awareness internally, and possibly externally, of the importance that the council attaches to this issue," he said.
While simply putting a statement did not solve the issue, he said, "the statement itself is the first step in the right direction".
Councils were also more consistent than businesses in responding to accessibility queries. Some 53 percent gave a "satisfactory" reply to an email about help for a blind person using the website, Socitm said. This was far higher than the 23 percent in the private sector. Northampton, Tunbridge Wells, Belfast and West Lindsey were highlighted for giving useful responses.
Socitm urged councils to continue to demonstrate good practice in accessibility, adding: "If accessibility good practice is not followed, and websites are not designed to accommodate their needs, disabled people and others can find [sites] difficult or even impossible to use."

Wedding bells?
November 26, 2017
Leo Meghan Markle and Virgo Harry seem like two star-crossed lovers. Leo is the royal sign and not so long ago, the Royal Family was a little over-populated by lionesses – the Queen Mother, Princess Margaret and Princess Anne. However, the royal take-over sign in recent years has been Cancer – with Princess Diana, Prince William, Prince George and even Camilla born under this sign which means it will be dominant for a long time to come. Meghan's leonine nature will just add a little sparkle.

BETHALTO — Family Fun Day is set for 1-4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 20, at Steve Bryant Park on Culp Lane.
The free public event will feature games, a fishing derby, pony rides, bounce houses and refreshments. The park is located at 14th Street and Stadium Drive. For more information, visit the village's website at www.bethalto.com or call (618) 377-8051.
The park officially will be renamed Steve Bryant Park after former four-term Mayor Steve Bryant, whose last official day as mayor was May 6, 2013.
Among Bryant's accomplishments, he transformed the old pumping station at Grant and Mill streets into a green space as a joint project with Bethalto Rotary, turned vacant farm land into the Bethalto Sports Complex (rated one of the top complexes in the state of Illinois), and secured the first OSLAD grant from the state in the amount of $400,000 as part of the ongoing sports complex construction.

As we stated previously, it seems that a public Oreo build is just around the corner after Samsung finishes ironing out a few final bugs. Be sure to follow our tracker here for all the latest updates.
Samsung's Galaxy S8 Oreo beta program may soon be over. The program, which has been running since early November, has seen Samsung's early Oreo software receive several iterations, and we expect it to wrap up by early next year.
Its final update may now be rolling out, as beta number five (ZQLE) starts to land on Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus devices (in the beta program). The news arrives via Sam Mobile, and like beta four, this release focuses on bugs. Issues such as the Home Screen not fitting the display correctly, the phone restarting while using the camera, and video playing faster after connecting an HDMI cable, have all be quashed thanks to the latest patch.
It's purely my own speculation that this could be the last update, based largely on Samsung's Nougat beta from last year. This saw four updates for the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, and ended late in December. I could be wrong, but, two months and five updates in — and with Samsung now on bugwatch — it feels like the final Oreo rollout can't be far off.
If you're on the beta program, look out for these updates arriving over-the-air any day now.


text: Dana and Erik were just married this past Saturday at the Lord Jeffery Inn in Amherst, Massachusetts. After their first look, these two exchanged rings outside just after the sun had set (an outdoor nighttime ceremony was a first for me!) where their friends (it was a very talented group!) sang and played as a part of the ceremony and later at cocktail hour. It was a day filled with lots of love, huge smiles, and just so much happiness.. plus a super high energy choreographed hip-hop first dance!

ROMAN for Aarhus Town Hall (1942), CITY HALL for Rødovre Town Hall (1956) and BANKERS for the National Bank of Denmark (1971).To ensure that the clocks are produced in Arne Jacobsen's style and spirit down to the very last detail, we have partnered with architect and designer Teit Weylandt, who was previously head of the product development division at Arne Jacobsen's practice in Copenhagen and later at Dissing og Weitling.These unique clocks are available in four sizes. A range of table clocks with built-in alarm feature are also available – likewise produced on the basis of Arne Jacobsen's original drawings.

Elvis Costello a brilliant singer and songwriter came onto the new wave scene in the late 1970s. When you looked at him he resembled the late great Buddy Holly who also had nerdy looking spectacles and of course his name reminded one of the King of Rock and Roll. Therefore it seemed destined that Costello would be a success in the world of music.
Inborn Talent
He came into this world as Declan Patrick Macmanus on August 25, 1954, in Paddington, London, England. I say he had inborn talent because his dad was a successful big-band singer and trumpet player. Costello went to Catholic school and tried out a variety of different instruments among them the violin. Then at the age of 15, he took up the guitar and at this point was already interested in songwriting.
In the early 1970s he lived in London with his wife and son. He wrote songs, recorded demos and at times performed under the name D.C. Costello. Costello was his mom's maiden name. All this time he supported his family as a computer operator. Finally, in 1975 Costello quit his job and became a roadie for Brinsley Schwartz. In 1976 Stiff Records signed him on and his manager rechristened him as Elvis Costello.
First Single
Costello's first single was "Less Than Zero" which came out in April 1977. This song was included on his first album "My Aim Is True" and placed him on the charts and made him a major British cult star.
The album is now considered a classic and includes one of his most popular songs "Alison". Other songs on the album are "Watching the Detectives" and "(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes".
Getting a Band
Costello gathered together guys to form a band called The Attractions with Steve "Nieve" Nason as keyboardist, Pete Thomas as the drummer and Bruce Thomas as bassist. They took off on the road and Costello was introduced to an American audience on Saturday Night Live in December of 1977.
An Angry-Young Man Image
In the world of New Wave Costello came off as an angry-young-man. He sang in a sort of clipped voice and delivered his songs straight on. His next album was Armed Forces with such songs like "Oliver's Army" which equated love affairs with military maneuvers. In 1979 Costello toured the U.S. to promote the album.
This was followed in 1980 by his next album Get Happy! Which included songs such as "Opportunity" and "I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down".
Turning Point
Costello released the album Almost Blue in 1981 and this time it was an album of country and western covers that he recorded in Nashville, Tennessee. Songs on the album included "Sweet Dreams" and "A Good Year For the Roses".
He came out with some really haunting ballads on his album Imperial Bedroom in 1982. Songs here included "Beyond Belief" and "Tears Before Bedtime".
In 1983 his song "Every Day I Write the Book" became a Top 40 hit in the U.S. and in 1984 he was noted for "Goodbye Cruel World".
Changing Trends
Along with changes in his personal life, Costello temporarily traded his band The Attractions for a pickup band called The Confederates which included former Elvis Presley musicians. With these musicians, he recorded the album King of America in 1986 with songs like "Don't Let me Be Misunderstood".
Costello followed up this album with Blood and Chocolate and set on a tour that featured The Attractions, The Confederates, and Costello singing solo. Songs from this album were "Uncomplicated" and "I Want You".
Costello designed the Spinning Songbook which allowed the audience to "choose" by luck of the draw, songs from his very vast repertoire.
Co-Writing With Paul McCartney
In 1987 Costello co-wrote a group of songs with Paul McCartney which were released two years later on the album Spike. The album included a Top 20 hit the McCartney-Costello collaboration "Veronica".
Other Changes
In 1991 Costello released Mighty Like a Rose without The Attractions. With songs like "The Other Side of Summer".
Costello found a new sense of direction when he took up the project The Juliet Letters. This was a song cycle that he wrote and performed with the string players in England's Brodsky Quartet. These songs were inspired by an article about a letter sent to the character Juliet Capulet created by author William Shakespeare. These songs were received with mixed emotions.
Touring Again
Costello has continued on his musical journey with many other albums. In 1994 he reunited with The Attractions and went on tour for the album Brutal Youth. He recorded another cover album with songs by Screamin' Jay Hawkins and Bob Dylan among others. Songs on the album Kojak Variety included Bob Dylan song "I Threw It All Away".
One of my all-time favorites was the song that was included in the movie "Notting Hill" starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant "She".
Latest Album
His latest album came out in 2013 Wise Up Ghost.

At retail level alone, it is estimated that over 400,000 tonnes of perfectly edible food go to waste each year. Meanwhile 4 million people in the UK are affected by food poverty and over 500,000 people are reliant on emergency food provision.
Food waste has a huge environmental impact: if we stopped wasting food in the UK it would be the CO2 equivalent of taking 1 in 4 cars off the road. Because of this our first aim should be to minimize the amount of food being wasted as much as possible and progress is definitely being made here: from innovative packaging to more intelligent systems for predicting how certain items will sell.
However, the nature of the retail supply chain and the fully-stocked shelves that we have all come to expect means a certain amount of 'surplus' food is inevitable. As the Food Waste Hierarchy below shows, it's what we do with that surplus that is so important. Perfectly edible surplus food should always be redistributed to people in need as a priority – if this isn't possible it should go to feeding livestock, and only then should anaerobic digestion (AD) and compost be options. It is important to remember that the energy generated from AD is far less that the energy expended in growing that food – and the CO2 impact of sending food to AD is six times greater than if that food was eaten.
FoodCycle Top 5 Anti-Waste Tips
Over the years, we've picked up some top tips for minimizing waste at home:
- Peelings. The skins of potatoes and carrots are bursting full of nutrition and can add a nice texture too. While it's necessary for some dishes, not everything requires vegetables to be peeled so think twice before peeling that carrot!
- Herbs. The stalks of herbs like parsley and coriander are delicious so stick them in that risotto or curry! Herbs can also be frozen, either in sealed bags or chopped up and packed into ice cube trays, and in most cases you won't need to defrost them before use.
- Bread. There are so many uses for stale bread; it's a true FoodCycle classic. Roughly chop and bake or pan-fry into croutons (try adding garlic too) or blitz it up for breadcrumbs. Both croutons and breadcrumbs can also be frozen if you want to save them for another time.
- Fruit. Leftover fruit that's already been chopped up? Try boiling it down with some sugar and lemon juice for a tasty fruit compote that will last for at least a week, or whizz it up into a wholesome smoothie.
- Doggy bags. It should be acceptable to take your leftovers home at any restaurant, regardless of how upmarket it is. Don't be afraid to ask! As well as reducing waste, you'll be getting a brilliant (and free!) lunch the next day.

It's no secret that a college degree can give you a tremendous advantage in today's job market.
Not only will it give you a leg up on non-degree holding job seekers, in some cases doubling your odds of being hired, but also statistics indicate new hires with college degrees stand to earn up to $20,000 more per year than those without.
Finding a degree that's right for you
While the advantages of holding a degree can be substantial, choosing the right degree for you is fundamental. Taking a hard look at the big picture when selecting a major can make the difference between completing your program on schedule or making costly and time consuming curriculum adjustments mid-stream.
In order that a degree that best meets your needs means and career goals, requires you to first know your interests and aptitudes. Aptitude and interest surveys can help students narrow a broad subject field of interest, such as science, into a snug fitting major and degree, such as environmental biology.
Regardless of current employment forecasts, academic and career experts recommend taking time to explore non-traditional career avenues your chosen degree may afford and matching them with your strongest interests.
Get Started Now
Remember that the key to finding a degree that's best for you is not to rush the decision. However, it doesn't pay to procrastinate either. Give yourself the time and tools you need to determine what your primary degree focus will be, the coursework involved and potential financial aid options your chosen degree may afford at different universities. Your student services counselor or academic advisor will be able to help you with this process.Here you can find more on Federal student aid
Also, once accepted into a college, be prepared to explore and experiment. The average student changes his or her major two to three times during their first year in college. Even if the first major you pick isn't the one you stick with, you'll improve your chances of finding the right fit if you shop around. Don't feel obligated to stick with a degree that's not right for you. Remember, college is what you make of it. Changing majors a few times the first year is common.
I Have a Major, Now What?
Majors mean different things to different people. Some view the college major as a career-training program. Others see choosing a major as a path to personal fulfillment that has no connection to future career plans or the job market.Read more on majors here
Expert's advice keeping a few things in mind:
Choosing a career-related major such as business administration or electrical engineering, means an easier job hunt after college, but you may compromise the depth of your education.
Plan to take electives outside of your major to balance your intellectual development.
If you choose a non-career-related major, you'll have to work harder outside the classroom to develop your career goals.
Start career research early and do internships every summer to get the job experience and connections you need.
When Do I Have to Decide
Many colleges provide a deadline by which you have to declare your major—often usually by your junior year.
However, beware of hidden deadlines. More popular majors require completion of prerequisites—courses you must complete before you can declare your chosen major. Schools use these prerequisites to help control enrollment in crowded majors. Make sure you stay on top of prerequisites and get them out of the way in order to declare your major.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Prudential Securities on Friday raised its U.S. oil price and natural-gas forecasts for 2003, citing "political realities" that include tensions in Iraq and Venezuela.
The broker raised its 2003 target for crude to $23 a barrel from $20 and upped its natural-gas target for the coming year to $3.80 per million cubic feet, from $3.25 previously.
"The standoff with Saddam Hussein appears to be coming to a head and should be resolved soon," Prudential told clients in a research note.
"Oil prices may spike higher between now and then, especially if the Venezuelan strike drags on, but we believe the fundamentals dictate a drop back to about $20 a barrel when the situation is resolved," it said.
Unocal pressures integrated oils
Unocal pressured shares of most of the integrated oil companies Friday, a day after the oil and gas producer said its fourth-quarter earnings target would be lower because of weaker-than-expected commodity prices.

Westar shares fall on FERC subpoena
Shares of Westar Energy fell Friday, a day after the company disclosed that it received a subpoena more than a week ago from U.S. energy regulators seeking details on power transactions with utility Cleco Corp.
Cleco Corp. CNL, +0.00% had admitted in November that along with its affiliates, it engaged in certain trades that may have violated transaction rules set by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
Westar WR, -12.50% received the subpoena, which covers about $19.8 million in transactions with Cleco in the past three years, on Dec. 16, the company said late Thursday. Westar's shares fell by 25 cents, or 2.3 percent, to close at $10.80.
The subpoena came over a month after a federal grand jury indicted Westar Energy's now-former chief executive, David Wittig, on fraud charges unrelated to the company. See related story. The company named Jim Haines, a former CFO, as chief executive in late November.
Oil prices end higher, gain $2 on week
With no end in sight to the oil strike in Venezuela and growing concerns over a potential U.S. war with Iraq still looming, traders couldn't resist bidding up the price of crude futures by the end of Friday's session, topping off a week that saw more than $2 in gains.

text: Around 2001 I visited the Johnson Wax headquarters in Racine, Wisconsin, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, and, if it isn't obvious by this photograph, the natural lighting in the space is amazing. Completed in 1939, the building structure is formed by mushroom columns, a design which Wright had to prove to the building inspector was strong enough to support the roof by loading one with sandbags to demonstrate that it far surpassed the required structural loading. The building's original skylights, made of pyrex glass tubes, leaked, and were eventually roofed over with corrugated plastic to stop the water infiltration. Wright was charged by his client, Herbert Johnson, to create an inspiring workplace for his employees, and Wright delivered a great space, which is now a National Historic Landmark.

One of the best days ever was a day Rick (my husband) and I went out for a spontaneous summer walk, and out of nowhere the sky let loose with a pouring down of refreshing rain. It was the most exhilerating feeling. We started laughing and running, but all the while enjoying the soaking.
This is what I pictured when I read Acts 3:19 this morning.
Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out,
that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.
When we are practicing repentance, God sends the most breath-taking refreshment into our lives.
Repentance is not a one-and-done when we surrender our lives to Christ. Yes, we are fully forgiven of our sins through Jesus' death on the cross, but since we still live in bodies of flesh, we must learn the practice of repentance.
True repentance is the practice of confessing and turning away from sin so we can walk in His refreshment every day. Just because we've chosen Christ as Savior doesn't mean we always behave as perfect children.
Just as children learn the daily disciplines of brushing their teeth, washing their hands before meals and after going to the bathroom, taking baths, saying, Thank you and Please, God's children are learning the daily spiritual disciplines needed to live a life that brings Him glory.
Confession is only a part of this daily spiritual discipline. We must ask for forgiveness for the things we know we've done (or not done) that hurt the Father's heart. But confession only is not enough. This spiritual discipline also includes repentance.
- Confession is agreeing with the Father that we've stepped out of line with His Truth.
- Repentance is turning away from the sin and realigning of our steps with His.
We cannot live the Christian life without implementing spiritual disciplines. Why not pause right now and ask the Lord to bring any out-of-line behavior that you need to confess, and do it? Confess. Agree with the Father that you've strayed from His Truth to seek pleasure for yourself, veering away from the Light. Then, with a sincere, broken heart, repent. Turn away from the dark path of destruction you've been headed in, and get back on the path of righteousness. Repentance brings sweet relief.
Let God "wipe out" your sins today and refresh your soul with a good, mercy soaking of His rain.
My Pleasure,

The goal is to please Christian conservatives who strongly oppose abortion and are a major part of Trump's political base.
MSI [Marie Stopes International] and the International Planned Parenthood Federation are among only four to reject the conditions of the order. They offer abortion services, in accordance with local rules, and say it is a last resort in preventing unwanted or unsafe births.
USAID says 733 other NGOS still receive funding. But in Africa, MSI and IPPF are the two largest NGO providers of free contraception and family planning advice.Note that none of these organizations are suggesting or doing anything that is unlawful in those places. Abortion is legal under various circumstances in a large number of African countries, but that doesn't mean anything to the Trump administration with regard to Africa, just as it doesn't mean anything to them here in the U.S., where abortion is also legal. Furthermore, these organizations are not promoting abortion. They are promoting contraception, and the more effective those programs are, the lower will be the demand for abortion--everyone knows that.
Who will step up to fill in the gaps left by drops in funding from USAID? The Reuters article suggests the following candidates: They include the Hewlett-Foundation, the Waterloo Foundation, the United Nation Population Fund (UNFPA) and the Gates Foundation.

The internet has enabled people worldwide to connect, create and distribute new works of art like never before. A key part of preserving this creative economy is ensuring creators and artists have a way to share and make money from their content—and preventing the flow of money to those who seek to pirate that content. Today, we're releasing our latest update on those efforts.
Our 2018 "How Google Fights Piracy" report explains the programs, policies, and technology we put in place to combat piracy online and ensure continued opportunities for creators around the world.
We invest significantly in the technology, tools and resources that prevent copyright infringement on our platforms. We also work with others across the industry on efforts to combat piracy. These efforts appear to be having an effect: around the world, online piracy has been decreasing, while spending on legitimate content is rising across content categories.
Here are a few of our findings from this year's Piracy report:
As we continue our work in the years ahead, five principles guide our substantial investments in fighting piracy:
- $3 billion+: The amount YouTube has paid to rights holders who have monetized use of their content in other videos through Content ID, our industry-leading rights management tool.
- $100 million+: The amount we've invested in building Content ID, including staffing and computing resources.
- $1.8 billion+: The amount YouTube paid to the music industry from October 2017 to September 2018 in advertising revenue alone
- 3 billion+: The number of URLs that were removed from Search for infringing copyright since launching a submission tool for copyright owners and their agents.
- 10 million+: The number of ads that were disapproved by Google in 2017 that were suspected of copyright infringement or that linked to infringing sites.
Create more and better legitimate alternatives: Piracy often arises when it's difficult for consumers to access legitimate content. By developing products that make it easy for users to access legitimate content, like Google Play Music and YouTube, Google helps drive revenue for creative industries and give consumers choice.
Follow the money: As the vast majority of sites dedicated to online piracy are doing so to make money, one way to combat them is to cut off their supply. We prevent actors that engage in copyright infringement from using our ads and monetization systems and we enforce these policies rigorously.
Be efficient, effective, and scalable: We strive to implement anti-piracy solutions that work at scale. For example, as early as 2010, we began making substantial investments in streamlining the copyright removal process for search results. As a result, these improved procedures allow us to process copyright removal requests for search results at the rate of millions per week.
Guard against abuse: Some actors will make false copyright infringement claims in order to have content they don't want online taken down. We're committed to detecting and rejecting bogus infringement allegations, such as removals for political or competitive reasons.
Provide transparency: We're committed to providing transparency. In our Transparency Report, we disclose the number of requests we receive from copyright owners and governments to remove information from our services.
Today, our services are generating more revenue for creators and rights holders, connecting more people with the content they love, and doing more to fight back against online piracy than ever before. We're proud of the progress this report represents. Through continued innovation and partnership, we're committed to curtailing infringement by bad actors while empowering the creative communities who make many of the things we love about the internet today.
