It's another one of those mornings here on the third coast where the sky is wrapped in a soft palette of grays and quiet blue. I can't see it from my cramped spot in the basement (third shift working love of life is snoring in the office slash bedroom so I'm banished to the bowels of the castle) but I'm sure the lake is restless, sending intermittent ivory flocked wavelets of moss green and brown against her sandy prison. Since I've been entrusted by my dear friend to guard her blog whilst she is away, I've scrounged a few moments of solitude scrunched between my familial obligations and my career. Okay, I took a day off from my skull numbing manufacturing accounting job and am hiding from my perpetually chatty mother in law so I can string a sentence together. I'm typing as fast as I can because snapping at my heels is an editing project, a writer's conference, oh and my first grandchild is due to be born in TWO DAYS! My daughter in love has family in town so there will be at least a couple of meet and greets – patience my dear readers, I have a writerly point or several points, depending on how many my tiny brain attempts to cram into one cohesive post. Brace yourself. This could get messy.
The days of sequestering oneself in the attic whilst writing a plethora of Plathian pages in one's personal journal are gone. Unless you're King or Rowling or twelve, you probably have a day job, and you serve some productive position in your familial hierarchy or social sphere. Life is busy and in our struggle to be responsible humans, often our identities as writers suffer. Sure, you can schedule every single moment of your life, including that hour in the morning or midnight to scribe your tome, effectively eliminating all spontaneity from your proximity because we all know writing is more about dedication and perspiration than inspiration. You could languish in the inevitable demise of your novel yet unfinished, letting the lamentations loop in your head until you are quite mad. You could flip out on your family, your coworkers and the beloved pet labradoodle and end up on the evening news. Or you could simply say "NO." Come on. You're a writer. You know the power of words and next to "love" and "I've got a plate of nachos" "No" is one of the most power packed words around. Use it. I'll give you some examples:
No, I am not working overtime from dusk till dawn on my day off. I have a book to write.
No, I am not going to take you to Pokemon Go – the movie. I have some poetry to finish.
No, I will not whip up an impromptu feast of pulled pork, brisket and turducken. I'm researching indigenous dung beetles for my short story.
I know what you're thinking. " I'll get fired, unfriended, I'll go hungry – I love pulled pork." Yes, the word "No" carries its own risk but it is sometimes our only buffer between "what if" and "if only." Truth is, if your life is so full of obligations and responsibilities that you have to throw a walleyed, canine bared, yowling fit to eep out a moment of writer time – "No" is a word grossly under used in your vocabulary. Start using it a little more and the benefits will far outweigh the risk. "No" will allow you to be the writer you you need to be and the you everyone else clamors over for whatever service, solace or smoked bovine you so generously provide will be a better you.
For those of you who are mortified at the thought of refusing a boss, a friend, a family member or that curly coiffed canid, there is another less abrupt but almost as efficient word to place in your "Lord I need time to write" arsenal. "Wait." In most cases, unless there is bleeding, gunfire or sirens "wait" will not do any harm and may allow you some respite. You may not be able to finish a novel by using the word "wait" but you will be able to finish a thought.
And so this blog has been brought to you by the words "No" and "Wait." Use them wisely. Use them well. I've been using them both all morning.

Day 1
Day one of Operation Lose Weight... I drive to the Y, go to the locker room to change and realize, I forgot my running shoes. I have socks & my sandals. So much for running on the treadmill. Determined to get a workout, I still lift weights, in my socks, and head home to run around my neighborhood. Oh well, at least it was a beautiful day out. Next time, Jenna, remember the shoes! Talk about ambivalence!

an unconscious attempt to get out of the pain of exercise. this just won't do! :-)
you can do it friend, I know you can. I confess I've been slacking too...but next time you forget your sneakers try the eliptical machine or the bike - both excellent cardio machines, and doable without sneakers...

Sharie deCastro relishing Miss BVI experience
Miss deCastro, a 4th generation Virgin Islander, was crowned Miss BVI 2012/2013 on August 5.
Virgin Islands News Online was able to catch up with the radiant queen at the recent Miss BVI Talented Teen Scholarship Pageant to get her comments on the experience so far as Miss BVI.
"It has been really good...an amazing opportunity to meet people and to promote the BVI culture and heritage," was the prompt response of Miss deCastro.
The new Miss BVI had captured the majority of prizes on offer including Miss Congeniality, the People's Choice award, Miss Poised, Best Talent, Best BVI Promotional Speech, Best Personal Interview and Miss Intellect. Miss deCastro also won for herself a car, scholarship, trip with the BVI Tourist Board and $5,000 in wardrobe.
And of course we asked the queen her thoughts on the Miss BVI Talented Teen Pageant 2012. "I think it was a very enjoyable pageant, very fair, the young ladies displayed a lot of talent, poise and intellect as well and I am really happy for Kamyce Penn (Miss BVI Talented Teen 2012). I consider her to be a little sister... She is a very close friend of mine."
Meanwhile, Miss deCastro was last spotted at the opening of the Domestic Violence Awareness Conference on October 12, 2012 at the St. George's Anglican (Episcopal) Church on Main Street where she delivered a powerful poem on the subject "Domestic Violence" before whisking off to another function.

To Where - It is none of your business where Sharie de Castro was when her grandparents - William and Josephine celebrated their 72nd wedding anniversary. But since you are so nosey - The Rhymers will tell you where she was. She was at Round Hill with her grandparents when they celebrated their anniversary on September 25th, 2012. She was the one grandchild making jokes and having fun with her grandparents and we all had an enjoyable time with them. "Where" because you did not see a photo of her on the news sites you drew your own conclusions. You need to mind your own business and find something constructive to blog on.

Account Takeover Fraud on Debit Cards Surge
By Ryan Wilk
As the US continues it conversation to EMV (Europay Mastercard and Visa), it will be interesting to see how this technology will affect an already mature e-commerce market. Unlike its European counterparts that felt the instant onslaught of e-commerce fraud once EMV was implemented, the US is in a far different position. The American market has had the benefit of 14+ years of e-commerce risk technology enhancements that did not exist when Europe made the transition. Along with this the US has been in the unique position having to absorb the effects of EMV being implemented worldwide.
A major trend that we have been seeing is the massive surge in fraudulent account creation. Just since February of this year we have observed a 100% increase in accounts being created for nefarious means. Between May – June, nearly half a billion accounts were flagged as fraud, up 28% from the first quarter of 2015. This highlights the growing value fraudsters are seeing in using aged accounts in an effort to circumvent traditional fraud detection systems that place a level of trust in an aged authenticated account.
[Tweet ""…financial information being stolen out of these accounts is on the rise.""]
Unlike other examples of EMV deployment around the world the US is taking a far different approach. Many issuers have decided to implement chip and signature as opposed to the more secure chip and pin technique being used by most other EMV deployments. While switching to chip and signature makes card cloning far more difficult, it has done nothing to make the POS transaction any safer. Overall we have simply converted from an inexpensive mag-stripe to a far more expensive embedded chip. On top of this, many US merchants have not yet switched over to EMV even as the October 2015 deadline has come and gone. Some merchants are even publically saying that they will disable EMV during the holiday season due to the added time it takes for the transaction to process, again showing that ease of use and speed of checkout is trumping security. All of these developments continue to point to a far reduced post-EMV e-commerce impact in the United States.
While EMV is something that e-commerce merchants should be concerned about, a far greater threat to their business is the continual risk of Account Takeover. We continue to see fraudsters spending huge amounts of effort to take over existing customers accounts and reaping great rewards. As e-commerce merchants work to build a full service ecosystem within their web properties, the risk of valuable personal and financial information being stolen out of these accounts is on the rise.
Once compromised, the fraudster has access to personal information, stored digital products, and the greatest prize, access to stored payment information that can simply be used to transact at will. It really begs the question: If you are a fraudster, why go to the trouble of stealing one credit card, when one account can give you a far greater value? Because of this, merchants must be vigilant in protecting their user's data, and the trust and safety that their users have placed in their brand. All the more reason for merchants to switch from traditional single point fraud detection systems that are regularly circumvented by fraudsters, to real-time continual behavioral analytics that can identify their trusted good users and mitigate the risk all at the same time.

The Exodus Decoded August 26, 2006Posted by Mitchell in Home, Science & Technology.
I just watched a show on the History Channel about the book of Exodus from the Bible. The guy who made the documentary sought to discover real archeological and geological evidence that supported all the claims made in the story of the Exodus of the Jews from ancient Egypt. And I do mean ALL of them. It's two hours long and it was fascinating. The guy makes a REAL strong case – I won't reveal any of the details, set your DVR or whatever to record the next airing on 9/7 10:00 am. Check out an extended description here: Exodus.
- 3. Exodus Decoded - History Channel « Innocent Bystanders - September 7, 2006
[…] Last week I noticed that Enas Yorl had posted a review of a show he had seen on the History Channel. On the basis of his recommendation, I set the alarm and watched it this morning. It was fantastic. It answered most of the questions I had about the Biblical story of the 10 plagues (what's up with the frogs?), the parting of the Red Sea and the location of Mount Sinai. Agnostics, Athiests and Believers should all find this entertaining. It is going to repeat in a few hours, 4pm Eastern. I'm not sure if it's going to be shown after that. I'm going to buy the DVD. The story of the Exodus invokes an epic tale–Pharaohs and Israelites, plagues and miracles, splitting of the sea and drowning of an army, and Moses. It's at the heart of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. After much research–working with archaeologists, Egyptologists, geologists, and theologians–filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici concluded that the Exodus took place hundreds of years earlier than thought. With a new timetable, Jacobovici reexamined artifacts and discovered that the traditional consensus on the date was reached without reference to Judaic texts that record the oral traditions. When Jacobovici consulted these texts, they revealed names of people and places unknown to researchers until recently when extensive excavations in the Nile Delta took place. Teaming up with special effects designers, he created a unique digital experience of the Exodus. Blending archaeological findings with eye-catching effects, Jacobovici creates a virtual museum to showcase his discoveries. […]

Google AdWords for Small Businesses
Posted by Rosey Broderick in Google Adwords, Google AdWords Management, Keywords, Online Advertising, Pay Per Click, PPC, PPC Tips, Web Marketing on Thursday
When it comes to promoting your business services or products on line, this is achievable for small businesses using Google AdWords. Small businesses can even tackle the big guns in their industry for an achievable budget on this platform. By setting up an AdWords account correctly, even a small budget can yield impressions and clicks on Google provided you use the right targeting options and account structure.
The Issue
The main point to understand about Google AdWords is that it is a complicated platform and is difficult to master. Anyone who tells you it is a walk in the park is not telling you the truth, however when implemented correctly it can bring great results to your business objectives. Don't get me wrong. Anyone can go in and set up a campaign. However, to maximise it and make it work for most businesses AdWords takes careful planning and practice to master which can take time. Time most business owners just don't have, in addition to their already loaded work schedule. This is one of the reasons there are so many businesses who don't think AdWords really works. However, with time, effort and patience your Google AdWords campaign can yield great returns and there are many businesses out there who have increased their profits dramatically and others who use it as their main advertising medium.
Keep It Simple
What a lot of business owners think about AdWords is that you need to have a huge account with hundreds of keywords in it or a huge budget. The fact is, you don't need a huge campaign to be successful. If you have an AdWords account with too many words and not enough time to manage it you will most probably overreach and waste money. The best approach is to start your campaign small and over time as you become more comfortable with the platform gradually grow your account. Obviously the size of your account deciphers how much time is required to manage it.
Tracking Your AdWords Progress
One of the best pieces of advice we can give you is to track your AdWords account. By this we mean setting up a Google Analytics account for your website so you can get accurate data on your visits, users etc. You can then link your AdWords and Analytics account and monitor the return from your AdWords campaigns. Also set up AdWords Conversion Tracking which gives you data on your Campaigns, Ad Groups, Ads and Keywords. This tracking informs you of clicks and conversions from specific keywords and gives you a great insight into how each keyword or Ad Group is performing.
Don't Overreach
Keep your account manageable and don't try to overreach. This can happen in a number of situations such as miss-targeting your ads. Be it network, location, device targeting or even down to the match types used for your keywords, incorrectly targeted ads will guarantee to lose you money. It is always best to plan your account and target your campaigns towards pre-qualified search users, by doing this you will get higher click-through rates and hence higher conversions.
Don't Overpay – Set A Consistent AdWords Budget
Getting to the top of Google SERP page is not essential in AdWords campaigns, it probably won't even be a reality when running your campaign on a small budget. So our advice is to take a step back and look at your budgeting realistically. Firstly, set a daily budget that will determine how much you will pay over the month. In AdWords you decide your monthly budget and divide it by the number of days you are running your campaign in the month, to get your daily budget. The budget must tie in with your businesses financials e.g. don't spend more on clicks that will eat into your company profit unless you have a strategy in place to drive return on investment whether in the short or long term.
By careful planning around your budget. Set up your campaign clearly, this will reduce your time and effort around changing your budget. Also bear in mind if you keep changing your budget it means Google has to recalibrate how it shows your ads and hence can impact negatively on your account.
Google will suggest increasing your budget in order to increase your clicks. Before doing this, ensure that the clicks you are targeting will drive the right traffic for your business.
Bidding In AdWords For Small Businesses
Bidding is a very important factor in determining your ad positioning so it is essential that you calculate correctly how much you will be bidding based on your budget to ensure an ROI. Here is a nice formula to work off:
Revenue or Customer's LTV * conversion rate = Max Bid
Once you have decided on your maximum bid, your quality score will determine your ad positioning. The higher your quality score, the more likely you are to rank towards the top of the page.
Next Steps
Now having made informed decisions on your targeted traffic, budget calculated and set correctly and bidding set, you are on the way to running a profitable AdWords account.

Google's New Keyword Planner: Positives & Negatives
Google Keyword Planner
The once useful and efficient Google Keyword tool is no longer in use. It has now been reincarnated as Google Keyword Planner. This has earned a mixed response from its users, and there are both positives and negatives to be found with this new Keyword Planner application.
The Keyword Planner function is a combination of the Keyword Tool and the Traffic Estimator, which aims to give you results for both through one platform. Here is a breakdown of the positives and negatives of this new Keyword Planner.
Positives of Keyword Planner:
- A major development in the Keyword Planner is its ability to provide the volume of a keyword search at a city level, which enables organisations to segment their audience to specific geographic locations for optimum results.
- Users can now upload up to 10,000 keywords from their own list to get performance data.
- The Keyword Planner also allows users to categorise results by ad group, landing page, among others.
Negatives of Keyword Planner:
To use the Keyword Planner, users must now login to a registered AdWords account.
The Keyword Planner doesn't offer the following;
- Match type data for search volume.
- Global vs. Local monthly searches.
- Device targeting.

Enhanced Campaigns have arrived
Posted by Rosey Broderick in Google Adwords, PPC on Monday
Enhanced campaigns are finally here and it is time to start taking advantage of some of the new features. As we mentioned on Friday today is the day that your Google Adwords PPC advertising will be automatically moved over to enhanced campaigns if you have not already moved it.
The switch over to enhanced campaigns brings with it some great new features. There are new bidding options. Before you would have had to set up new adgroups and even new campaigns to target different devices and different geographic regions. With the enhanced campaigns you can target different devices from the one campaign and adjust their bids accordingly and minimise spend where bids may for example be less competitive on mobile.
You can also adjust bids for certain areas of your targeted geographic region, you may have a campaign for Ireland, but you want to increase your bids for searches in Dublin as it may be more competitive. Also, if you had noticed that more clicks on a Wednesday convert than any other day you can increase the bids for Wednesdays to ensure your ad appears in the highest position possible on Wednesdays.
There are also more reporting tools available in enhanced campaigns, one of which allows you to measure the number of calls from mobile campaigns.
At WebResults.ie we offer a wide range of web marketing services including set up and management of your PPC advertising.
We can help your business manage the move over to enhanced campaigns to ensure you are not wasting budget on irrelevant clicks and that you are making the most out of the new features in enhanced campaigns. Contact us on (01) 208 1872 or email us at email@example.com for more information.
Final call for enhanced campaigns
Posted by Rosey Broderick in Google Adwords, PPC on Friday
This coming Monday July 22nd is the date when all adwords campaigns will switch over to "enhanced campaigns". Google announced the change back in February saying that any campaigns not already changed over will be moved over by them.
Enhanced campaigns bring many new features to PPC advertising on the adwords platform including new bidding features across all devices. When you first switch over it seems you are required to target mobile devices but you can adjust the bid to -100% of your bids for your desktop/laptop campaign, which basically turns it off. You can also place higher or lower bids for tablets and mobiles as it may be more or less competitive on a different device. It even gives you the ability to bid higher when showing your ad on mobile devices to users who are within a certain distance of your business. Other new features include optimising your ads for varying user contexts – ability to show the right sitelink, app or extension based on the context of the potential customer and the device they're using. There are also new advanced reports available in enhanced campaigns such as the ability to track new conversion types.
Google strongly advises businesses using adwords PPC advertising to make the switch to enhanced campaigns themselves rather than it being automatically switched over. Otherwise, if you don't manage the switch over yourself, you may show in results for mobile even though you previously had mobile targeting turned off as your site is not mobile friendly.
Our advice is to ensure that you do make the switch over before Monday and put some time into setting up your enhanced campaign and take advantage of the new features. You will otherwise waste valuable budget, paying for irrelevant clicks.

How old is the headshot on your website or social media profiles? A couple years old? A couple decades old?
You may think once you have one professional headshot you're happy with, that's all you need. But – you'd be wrong.
Just because it's easier to keep the same photo for years doesn't mean it's the best option. In fact, utilizing the same picture for extended lengths of time can impact your perception online negatively. After all, your headshot is often the first impression you're going to make on someone, and it can make or break the relationships you'll have with customers or potential employers.
Here's why you need an updated headshot:
It's a representation of who you are at this time.
Who you are now is not someone you've ever been, so why show an image that's years old? Odds are you've freshened up your haircut, improved your wardrobe, and overall fit the bill of a professional. However, if you're 34 and your headshot is from when you were 24 – potential customers or employers may think you're young and inexperienced.
Be proud of aging! It means you've gained both industry and life experience.
You want to look current and modern.
Photography styles are constantly evolving, and it's important your headshot look current. If you were browsing for a new employee and their headshot looked like an 80s glamour shot – would you take them seriously?
Dated photos make the person depicted in them look dated as well. This can lead to an assumption that your skills and experience are dated as well, and could ultimately cost you a job or sale.
It's helpful in optimizing your online presence.
Every time you upload a new image of yourself online, it will show up when you're Googled. Having many professional images of yourself online is a great way to bolster your online reputation, as well as beef up your search results. It can be a bit of a bad sign when someone Googles your name and there aren't any results, or the results are incredibly dated. By updating your headshot regularly, you're ensuring current images of you are what you're being represented by.

It seems our Brit comics are a hit over in Hollywood with talk emerging that Ricky Gervias could be lined up to host next year's Oscars.
Just weeks after Russell Brand made a controversial stage debut at the MTV Video Awards as a host, focus is now on The Office star to match the performance.
'The buzz around town is that Ricky should host the Oscars,' a source close to Gervais said.
But others are backing ABC's The Tonight Show host, Jay Leno, for the cavorted role, with one saying: 'I think there's a huge possibility that Leno could land the job,' said another industry mole.

My name's Jennie Lewis and I'm a design geek. It comes with the territory of being a designer. It sees me buying boxes of cereal or bars of soap based on the packaging alone - even if it tastes like cardboard! I'll hold my hands up to the fact this sometimes makes me a little tricky to buy for. Now though I just send out the Tom Pigeon link and know I'll be happy whatever the outcome (no i'm not that nightmare friend that takes things back - I just love some gifts more than others!).
Picking my 3 favourite pieces from Tom Pigeon has possibly been the hardest task yet with this years Gift Guide.
I've been swooning over their store since they launched, and the only thing thats held me back from ordering every damn print so far is the promise of a new home and uncertainty about wall space. The walls are finished, but now I'm paralysed by choice because I love them all. My wishlist seriously is everything in their store and I definitely don't have enough walls for that!
Aesthetically their prints are clean, gorgeous tonal colours with hints of metallic foils. Pretty much everything I ever look for in a design. They design simple things for people to enjoy including prints, jewellery and stationery - designing the kinds of things they would like to own and live with. I want to live with them. Imagine a home that beautiful! Imagine getting up in the morning to a home that beautiful, gorgeous jewellery to choose from that makes you look effortlessly cool and stationery to take you on your happy way, all organised throughout the day. Thats the dream right there folks.
So, how did I get on? As usual I've tried to give you different price points for different people in your life. But really - if anybody buys me anything from Tom Pigeon I will love them forever and forever. And thats a promise.
If you have products similar to and as utterly gorgeous as Tom Pigeon's I want to work with you - branding, web design, packaging or brand collateral - it can all help take your business to the next level. Get in touch

The band play their first live show of 2004, and NME.COM will be there…
OASIS are set to play their first gig of the year tonight – and NME.COM will be the first place to get a review!
The group warm-up for this weekend's headlining slot at Glastonbury with a show at the Poole Lighthouse, Dorset (June 23).
The gig is their first since a small run of dates in Germany and Ireland in March 2003, and their smallest UK date with the full band since the start of 2002.
It will also be the first chance fans will have to see new drummer Zak Starkey, who will be filling in for Alan White, who left the band earlier this year.
Noel Gallagher recently said the band were planning on playing two new songs from their currently unfinished album during their Friday (June 25) night slot at Glasto, so there's also a chance they'll road test them tonight as well.
He said: "We weren't going to do any (new songs) but we timed the set and we came up short. We were doing all the ones that we wanted to do and then the tour manager said 'That's about an hour', so I said 'How long do we have to play? And he said 'An hour-and-a-half'. We'll be doing two new songs I think."
Click back to NME.COM tonight for the first setlist and report from the show, minutes after the Gallagher brothers have walked offstage.

The Willamina Palette, fine art print
The Willamina Palette, fine art print
from 20.00
The Willamina Palette is poetic and warm, soothing and vibrant. The shades of blue, cream, and peach swirl and blend together creating a abstract piece of artwork that is fresh and bright.
As an artist, I find a lot of clarity and poetry in the paint palette. This is the start of my inspiration; the root of every painting - and it has become Art in-and-of itself to me.
Giclee print on heavy 100% cotton rag watercolor paper (please allow 7-10 business days for our local printing house to create your artwork)

For the super-rich, those for whom the financial industry has coined the acronym UHNWI (ultra-high-net-worth individuals) the goal posts in the world of Luxury are forever moving. Where once you could rest assured that access to the finest goods was the prerogative of the privileged few, thanks to rising wealth and fractional ownership schemes, even private jets and super yachts have been placed within the affordability bracket of many a healthy bank balance.
For the wealthy elite it has meant that the pursuit of exclusivity has become the kingpin of luxury and obtaining the unattainable has become the ultimate prize. Thankfully, a plethora of modern-day miracle workers are on hand -.teams of advisers and private fixers for whom catering to the whims and desires of the ubber rich has become a full-time role.
The hotel concierge has, and always will be, the keeper of an infinite number of contacts able to secure a table in London's most difficult to book restaurants or deliver money-can't-buy experiences. But this style of personal service is extending well beyond the confines of the concierge desk, spawning a generation of lifestyle managers keen to facilitate the seemingly impossible for those with money to burn.
Ifzaal Khan is one such entrepreneur a private fixer who caters to the demands of international high society, working either privately or publicly on their behalf. "We represent an elite range of clients, including foreign rulers, billionaires, royalty, ultra-high-net-worth individuals, trusts and private families," reveals Khan. 'We are fully committed to protecting the privacy of our clients and their families at all times and our services are based on complete trust and discretion," he adds. Indeed, such is the confidential nature of Khan's role, that even those working for his company, Perfect Knowledge, only know the highest profile clients by a pin code.
Khan can act as a client's agent or broker in any situation, and with contacts in establishments and companies around the world, he is able to facilitate whatever a client's brief demands - be that finding a £20 million property or selling a Picasso. Our services include representing a family's private interests, the growth and confidentiality of their personal life, seeking solutions to problems, as well as obtaining expert guidance and acting as a private third party." Perhaps one of the most interesting services available at Perfect Knowledge is the private instructions and private family office services available to the ultra high net worth.
As a private courtier, Khan's private fixers act as trusted advisers, guardians and chaperones on a short or long-term basis to international clients visiting the UK. The personal courier service meanwhile ensures the safe transit and hand-delivery of sensitive documents or very expensive pieces of jewellery, wherever the client is in the world. For the privileged, total peace of mind is guaranteed.
"I had a request from a Qatari prince who wanted me to take two antiques clocks he had just bought from Harrods to his palace in Qatar The two clocks cost over £350,000 each and money was no object in ensuring I could take them to Qatar for him that day.

The 2018 Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid is a flexible and uncompromising offer among new hybrid vehicles. This advanced car lets you drive on electric power alone, or use the gas engine to power long drives. A phenomenal hybrid like the Honda Clarity gives you both premium comfort and incredible efficiency. You'll be able to charge your Clarity from home and enjoy the perks of a long driving range.
The 2018 Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid is designed with style, safety, comfort, and performance in mind. It has a clean, smooth aesthetic that not only looks good, but also achieves better aerodynamics. Full LED headlights provide excellent night vision, and the unique headlights also give the Clarity an unforgettable light signature.

The Clarity also has Honda's innovative Electronic Gear Selector to help create a more spacious console, as well as a push-button start system.

A Guide for the On-The-Go Gal
I have a confession to make: I don't always have it together and I can be embarrassingly forgetful at times. Managing my full-time day job, blogging, collaborating with other creatives, brunching with my girls, enjoying special moments with my beau, and carving out quality time with my family takes a toll on ya girl! My thoughts are constantly reeling, leaving me with the tough job of enjoying the present moment without a looming mental to-do list. I know I'm not the only scatterbrain out there which prompted me to write this post. I've been working hard on improving myself; I want to be my best self and that doesn't only include my hair and skin. I'm talking EVERYTHING. So why not go on this journey together? Here are a few habits that are helping me balance my busy schedule and shake my absentminded-ness.
1. Get yourself a planner! Something about writing out your obligations and organizing your daily duties is incredibly satisfying and keeps me focused. This can be a virtual planner like the calendar app on your phone, Google Calendar, or any other app out there. Personally, I'm all about old school planners. I've tried a few different calendar apps and never made good use out of them. I was double booking obligations and forgetting to put them in my phone, I wasn't checking it daily, I never had my reminders set for the right times. It was a mess! Physically writing everything down somehow makes it more real for me. Plus, planners can be so cute! The one I'm currently using is from Target and came loaded with stickers to dress up your little notes and keep track of payday.
2. This tip is going to piggyback off of the first one. Now that you have a planner, make sure you're making good use of it! I find it helpful to plan my week on Sunday's. I'll sit with my planner and think of everything that I need to get done. I know myself better than anyone which means I know what I can and cannot (or will and will not) accomplish in a day so I make an active effort to keep my goals realistic because I don't do well when I'm overloaded. If you're balancing school or a day job, or both, try limiting your daily personal to do list to between 3 - 5 items. And write EVERYTHING down, even the small things. I find that whenever I omit a task, I'll forget about it. Then I find myself scrambling to get things done before a deadline. Now that all of your tasks are written down (or typed into your phone), remember that you can be flexible! As disciplined as I try to be, some days certain things just aren't going to get done. Sometimes plans change and it's okay to shift things around!
3. Wake up early. I'm not telling you to wake up at sunrise on a Saturday because even I won't do that! But I am saying that whenever I have a day off and want it to be as productive as possible I like to get started as early as possible. I find that I'm most productive this way. If I do too much laying in bed and scrolling on my timeline, the entire day goes by in the blink of an eye and what have I accomplished? NADA!
4. Lastly, I try to be as prepared as possible. Truth is sometimes you just have to make it work! If I have a photoshoot or event to attend after work, at 5:00 pm you'll catch me in the ladies room transforming. I'll pack my makeup essentials and a change of clothes and make it work! A little highlight here, a touch of bronzer there, and a dab of lipstick to dress up my simple look and I'm out the door and headed to my next engagement.
Don't forget to share any tips on how you keep it together despite your busy schedule with me here or on Instagram @tach.j!
Much Love,
Tacha J.

The new Stanford Satellite Sleep Research Center will be located at Dr. Russo's 250 Ward Avenue office location
Dr. Michael B. Russo, neurologist, brought to Hawaii its VERY first and only Dense-Array EEG (DEEG), a form of EEG with 128 listening posts as compared to the traditional EEG with only 32. This state of the art technology is available only here at Hawaii Pacific DEEG. The DEEG may be used to detect, characterize, and localize conditions and brain injuries in patients previously considered normal.
After 34 years in the US Army, Dr. Russo has opened a civilian practice in Neurology, Sleep Disorders, and Traumatic Brain Injury in Honolulu and Hilo. Dense array EEG (DEEG) is a technique whereby signals generated by thinking are evaluated to determine the health of the brain.
The sounds of your thinking brain are captured and displayed on a three-dimensional brain map. The captured signals can detect and localize seizure foci four times more accurately than any existing non-invasive technique currently available in Hawaii. The DEEG is also being applied to localize traumatic and non-traumatic brain injury.
We have the DEEG machine at our Hilo location, and we have offices in Honolulu, Hilo, and Kona. Most insurances will cover the cost of airfare to Hilo and we accept patients by referral from their primary care providers. We accept all insurances except for Kaiser.

Like many other 'specialised' tourist parts of Melbourne, Hosier Lane and Union Lane offers only brief glimpses into the graffiti culture, like a neat, bite-sized confection of pattern, art and colour, accompanied by the unmistakeable scent of spray paint.
We visited the famous Hosier Lane first and the small Rutledge Lane detour first, then to Union Lane later on in the day.
Both are sample-sized streets, wedged perhaps ironically between the intricacies of Melbourne's European inspired architecture and the commercial glass and shiny metal of Westfields. While we certainly have the equivalent here, Sydney keeps these things separated to a greater degree but I guess it's the fact that this arrangement seems natural in Melbourne that constitutes part of its charm.
Outside of these graffiti-specific streets, you can catch glimpses of that zany creativity all throughout the laneways of Melbourne - one of my favourites was in Guildford Lane, which is heavily featured in the corresponding Images from Nowhere post. The narrow streets and the odd nooks and crannies in small, intimate alleyways are the perfect places to hide little artistic breadcrumbs and it was so much fun to wander through and make random discoveries along the way.

Scotland Landscape
by Jaber Al-Tobaishi
I am a third year Media & Communications student specialising in Photography. Currently I am working towards my final photography project which explores our understanding of landscape photography and the forest as a space of experience and emotional engagement. This simultaneously aims to incorporate and consider the concepts around the fictitious and the sublime.
The image I have decided to contribute as part of Goldsmiths' new creative platform is a photograph I have exposed on sheet film - on my first solo photography trip to Scotland. To me, this landscape photograph is a testimony of my labour – hiking for hours under the blazing sun with my 20-kilograms rucksack uphill a mountain. But more than anything, I believe this photograph is a reflection of the memories, the experiences and the effort I have invested to improve as a photographer and in accomplishing something remarkable.

OK all you baby-makers. Wake the hell up! I'm not saying "parents" right now, because there is a difference. Baby-makers make, well, babies of course and parents nurture healthy kids, mentally, spiritually and physically.
Let's talk.
This fall, a newspaper story in The Guardian from London struck me to my core and evoked this explicit wake up call as a result. The story is about a three-and-a half-year-old girl who has Type II diabetes and weighs 35 kg as a result of a high fat, high calorie diet. This isn't a genetic disease, it's a despicable way to treat a kid. Type II diabetes, like so many other chronic degenerative diseases, are typically adult onset diseases. Don't kids have enough to worry about these days - like trying to remain the Last Child In the Woods or navigate imaginative free-play amongst the insult of digital tech thrown on them by should-be-wiser parents.
So, while not judging the girl's procreators – because they need help too – it's about time to get down with the fact that what we put into our bodies makes or breaks our health, and our kids'. Start, like right this second, putting real food into all the mouths you love. If you don't want to do it for your own health, buy a good life insurance policy and do it for your children.
OK, rant over… almost.
Most people who know me understand I approach food, detoxification and nutrification as our primary disease fighter – yes, even for cancer - with a gentle, empathetic, sensitive and nurturing tone.
Perhaps I won't be so friendly for a moment.
The most common question I get asked by clients is, "If food could heal the body, then why doesn't my doctor tell me about it and why don't more people do it?" Doctors are trained to diagnose and prescribe. They deal with symptoms. That's it. There's nothing fancy to it. Just like your electrician wasn't trained to fix your plumbing and Donald Trump wasn't trained to be a great politician.
Diabetes, cancer, autoimmune disorders, obesity, allergies, and a host of our curable chronic degenerative diseases are avoidable. Simply. Purely. Naturally. Plant-based and easy is the path to good health and happiness. We can eat our way out of most diseases, but why eat our way in?
Would you send heroin in your child's school lunch? Nope, it's illegal and you would be sent to jail, plus your kid would become an addict. But we line up at the grocery store checkout every day to feed our addiction and fill our kids' lunch kits with drug-like foods.
Wake the hell up, eat real food and we can eliminate more than 50% of socially induced chronic illnesses and simultaneously increase the health of our society – cleaning up our air, water and soil and saving our overwhelmed medical system billions of your tax dollars.
Don't hate me. I don't hate you. I do hate what we are feeding our kids sometimes. We are all guilty (myself included) of taking the easy option and feeding fake food instead of real, organic, whole foods that we thrive on (hint: if it comes in a box or package it's no longer organic in the real sense of the word). Give me $20 and I'll buy you two A&W combo meals, or, I can prepare you a wholesome, delicious nutrient-dense meal for a family of four.
It's go time folks. Come to me with a chronic degenerative disease and a willingness to change some of your eating habits toward a nutrient dense diet (even lifestyle) and we will all feel better.
Your newly energized and healed body will do the talking and walking, so I can stop these rants. This has worked for thousands of people who reached a dead end with their doctors, where the only option was to go home, get their affairs in order and wait for death to come knocking.
So let's all start being parents. Rant over. Let's also support, inspire and work together on this simple solution to what we are being told is a complex problem. We can do it. Purely, Simply, Naturally.

The campaign is reverberating in the United States, where the Senate passed a bill Tuesday that would allow states to punish businesses that take part in Israel boycotts.
But despite vigorous efforts to quash BDS, the pressure is mounting.
Measures calling for boycotts of Israel modeled on the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa, including divesting from companies that sell to Israel's army, are roiling college campuses.
During the summer, more than a dozen performers backed out of Israel's Meteor Festival after headliner Lana Del Rey canceled.
Last month, some 50 artists including Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters, fashion designer Vivienne Westwood, singer Peter Gabriel, and pop band Wolf Alicepublished a letter calling for this year's Eurovision song contestto be moved from Tel Aviv because of "Israel's systematic violation of Palestinian human rights."
Scientists, academics and even fruit fans have backed BDS: Grape exports to Europe from the Jordan Valley in the West Bank have fallen by 80 percent since 2007 because of boycotts, according to the head of the regional council there.
Airbnb announcedNov. 19 that it would stop listing some 200 properties in Jewish settlements in the West Bank— an area Israel seized in the 1967 Middle East War. Palestinians and most governments consider growing settlements — thought to house some 435,000 Jewish residents — illegal and a hindrance to peace. Around 3 million Palestinians also live in the West Bank.
The decision prompted outbursts from Israeli officials and allies, with Israel's tourism minister calling the decision "hypocritical and disgusting," and threatening the company with legal action.
Senior Airbnb executives visited the West Bank and met with local Israeli officials and the company appeared to waver on its decision. And at the end of January, it was still possible to post new properties, and make and accept reservations on the site.
When asked to comment on its current position, an Airbnb spokesman pointed to a Jan. 17 statement that said it was"working with experts to develop and validate the means to implement our policy."
Michael Oren, an American-born former Israeli ambassador to Washington, was among those who called for a boycott of Airbnb in November. He criticized the company for not applying similar policies to Tibet or to Turkish-occupied Cyprus.
Oren, who also serves as a minister in Netanyahu's government, explained reaction this way: BDS unfairly singles out Israel and is "designed to take us down."
He referred to the BDS battle as a new stage in an ongoing Palestinian effort to destroy Israel, but not through terrorism. Instead, he argues the country's enemies want to delegitimize the country.
Oren said that the right of return is "code for the destruction of the state of Israel, flooding us with six million Palestinians who claim they are refugees."
He also rejected the notion that the issue revolves around free speech, describing the boycott as "a bigoted assault on an American ally."
Measures barring boycott supporters are another sign of how seriously Israel is taking the issue. In January 2018, the government released a list of 20 organizations whose members it bars from entering Israel because they support BDS. The list includes the Friends Service Committee (The Quakers) whichwon the Nobel Peace Prize in 1947for rescuing victims of the Nazis, as well as the left-wing Jewish Voice for Peace.
In October, Israeldetained for more than two weeks an American student as she tried to enter the country, accusing her of supporting BDS.
Sima Vaknin-Gill serves as the director general in Israel's Ministry of Strategic Affairs and Public Diplomacy, and is among those charged with implementing anti-boycott laws.
She says the BDS campaign could be a "challenge, in the mid-and long term, regarding international public opinion and its perception of Israel about one very critical issue: Israel's right to exist as a Jewish and democratic state."
After Amnesty International on Jan. 30 released a scathing reportcalling on Airbnb and fellow online travel giants Booking.com, Expedia and TripAdvisor to stop listing in Jewish settlements, including eastern Jerusalem, the minister for strategic affairs Gilad Erdan announced that he had instructed officials to look into ways of barring the London-based human rights group from the country.
Erdan is a very public face in the battle against BDS and has already pushed for Omar Shakir — the Israel and Palestine director of Human Rights Watch — to be deported from the country, citing alleged support for the campaign.
In the U.S., at least 26 states have also passed laws targeting BDS.
Legislation like that which passed the Senate this week has been opposed by the ACLU and the liberal Jewish advocacy group J Street, as well as Sens. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. It has been backed by major Jewish organizations such as the Anti-Defamation League.
Many of those who oppose the legislation do not back boycotts of Israel.
"While I do not support the BDS movement, we must defend every American's constitutional right to peacefully engage in political activity,"Sanders tweeted last month.
Regardless of the pressure on pro-BDS activists and others who criticize Israel over its treatment of Palestinians, one of the movement's founders said he is optimistic.
The election of BDS supporters Rashida Tlaib and Ilham Omar to Congress and cover from senior senators indicate that the movement has reached a "tipping point," according to Omar Barghouti.
"Major Jewish politicians like Feinstein and Sanders, progressive politicians, are defending the right to BDS," the Columbia University-trained engineer said.
"Israel throws a lot of dirt, hoping some of it will stick. But none of it is really sticking," he said. "Now Israel's battle is with the ACLU, not with us."
He acknowledged that Israeli legal efforts to hobble the organization — for example by forcing online donation site Donorbox to freeze its account in December — had jolted some supporters into action.
"People took it very seriously, and money started pouring in like never before," Barghouti said. However, he also acknowledged that the case had an "enormous" chilling effect.
Barghouti rejected charges that BDS is anti-Semitic, pointing to its charter and the involvement of a number of Jewish organizations such as Jewish Voice for Peace. Instead, he said, it is simply seeking justice for Palestinians in Israel, the occupied territories and beyond.
"Freedom, justice and equality, if that would destroy Israel, what does that say about Israel?" he said. "Did freedom destroy Alabama? Did it destroy South Africa?"
On Thursday, Amnesty called for Israel to ease travel restrictions on Barghouti, a resident of Israel.
The group said that a "de facto travel ban" was part of long-standing attacks by authorities, citing a March 2016 call for "targeted civil eliminations" of BDS leaders by Yisrael Katz, minister of transport, intelligence and atomic energy. At the same event, Erdan, the strategic affairs minister, said BDS activists and leaders had to "pay the price." Erdan added later that he was not referring to "physical harm."
Earlier this month, the Israeli government released a report claiming to show links between BDS and militant groups.
The report claimed current or former members of Hamas and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine — both designated terrorist organizations by the U.S., European Union and Israel — are involved in BDS activity through Palestinian and international nongovernmental organizations.
Most links were based on accusations of affiliation or expressions of sympathy for militant groups, in some case linked to acts that took place years ago.
The BDS movement dismissed the findings as a "wild fabrication."
Shurat HaDin, an organization that represents victims of terrorism, has been on the forefront of the battle against BDS.
The group filed a lawsuit on behalf of Israeli teenagers against New Zealand-based activists who it says persuaded pop singer Lorde to reconsider performing in Tel Aviv. An Israeli court ordered the activists pay more than $12,000 in damages.
It is also working with the government to deport Human Rights Watch's Shakir.
Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, Shurat HaDin's founder, said Airbnb's move amounted to "discrimination" under a housing law which prohibits such acts based on race and religion.
However, she insisted that the "BDS movement doesn't have financial effect" on the country, and instead she is combating BDS for the "minds of young people."
"Young people will become professionals and then decision-makers over the next few years," she said. "You don't want poisoned minds to take positions and to start acting against Israel."
Darshan-Leitner believes the battle against BDS is one part of the long-running Israeli-Palestinian struggle.
"We are in a war with them," she said. "We have got to fight back. If they see BDS as a legitimate step they can take, they cannot expect Israel to sit idly by."
