I'm Morgan and I love to learn. I'm addicted to ideas, concepts and lenses through which to see the world. In the past few years, I have been on a journey to learn more about minimalism, simplicity and wholehearted living, and have worked to bring these concepts in to our day to day family life. I'm a teacher-librarian (I get to learn for a living!) and mother to two wonderful human beings. I'm married to my high school sweetheart and building our life together, not in a remote cabin in the woods, but in a typical house in the suburbs of a large city.
Motherhood awakened in me a desire for simplicity. I wanted to address my deep longing to find focus on only those things, ideas and experiences that added value to our life. I love the William Morris quote "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful" and I've worked to apply it not only to our physical spaces, but our time, our parenting, and our finances. I've resisted sharing my story for so long because I was waiting to get it right, to offer some hard and fast rules for those seeking simplicity, but I have realized in the past few years that every day and every season is teaching me and though I know we have much more to learn, there is really no arriving at a perfectly simple and balanced life. The mindset is the destination - the mindful moments amongst the chaos, the thoughtful decisions about time and money, the daily practice of gratitude.
I'm excited to share our journey here, and connect to people on the same path, seeking simplicity and a more meaningful, wholehearted life.

UNESCO-MAB Young Scientists Awards
Since 1989 MAB has been providing young researchers each year with awards of up to US$ 5,000 in support of their research on ecosystems, natural resources and biodiversity. Through the MAB Young Scientists Awards, MAB is investing in a new generation of scientists worldwide because we think well-trained and committed young people are key to addressing ecological and sustainability issues. The International Coordinating Council of the Man and the Biosphere Programme (MAB-ICC) at its 29th session on 12-15 June 2017 adopted the new criteria and conditions for the selection of MAB Young Scientists Award winners in order to address the Lima Action Plan (LAP) for Biosphere Reserves and relevant Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in applications.
The International Co-ordinating Council of the Man and the Biosphere Programme (MAB-ICC) endorsed seven winners for the MAB Awards for young scientists during its 31st session on 17 - 21 June 2019.
The Awards basics
The MAB Young Scientists Awards targets young researchers carrying out interdisciplinary research in line with UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme. Priority is given to projects carried out in biosphere reserves. Until 2025, implementation of the UNESCO MAB Programme is guided by the MAB Strategy and Lima Action Plan for UNESCO's MAB Programme and its World Network of Biosphere Reserves (LAP), which contributes to the achievement of the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). MAB Young Scientists Award applicants are strongly encouraged to take into account the priorities of the LAP, and to identify in their applications how their research contributes to the research-related actions of the LAP and to the SDGs.
The objectives of the MAB Young Scientists Award Scheme are to:
- encourage young scientists, in particular those from developing countries, to use MAB research, project sites and biosphere reserves in their research;
- encourage young scientists who already use such sites to undertake comparative studies in other sites in or outside their own country;
- promote and encourage the exchange of information and experience among a new generation of scientists;
- strengthen communication of the LAP within the young scientists and strengthen its visibility;
- involve young scientist in the implementation of the LAP;
- enhance awareness among young scientists of the role of research in the implementation of the SDGs – in particular when conducted in biosphere reserves.
The following criteria are used in the selection of MAB Young Scientists Awards:
- To be eligible, award applications must be made on the MAB Young Scientists Award application form (in English or French) and follow-up technical requirements stated there. The application must be endorsed by the applicant's MAB National Committee*, which may endorse only two applications per year from applicants who are not older than 35 years of age (at the closing date of the application).
- Applications must contain concise information on past and existing research in areas concerned in order to present linkages and avoid duplications and financing of projects already carried-out.
- Priority is given to interdisciplinary projects carried out in biosphere reserves designated under the Man and the Biosphere Programme or potential biosphere reserves and which contribute to the implementation of the LAP and the SDGs. In this regard, applicants shall identify in their applications if and how their research contributes to the research-related actions of the LAP and to the SDGs.
- Applicants from developed countries are eligible for Awards only in exceptional cases or if working in joint partnership with developing countries.
- Awards are set at a maximum of US$5,000 each.
- Research supported by an Award should be completed within two years.
- Candidates must accept to submit reports of Award-funded research to the MAB Secretariat in Paris and to their MAB National Committees*, and agree to the possibility of UNESCO publishing the results of their research.
- International travel expenses are usually not covered under these Awards.
* For the countries in which a MAB National Committee does not exist or is not fully operational, the National Commission for UNESCO will ensure the selection of candidates according to the above criteria.

How do I recover from an injury?
Injuries are one of the most common injuries suffered by physically active and professional athletes. Injuries cause pain, exclusion from everyday activities, and sometimes even mental blockages. Depending on the type of injury and the specificity of the body, convalescence can last from several days up to several months and longer. It is important to know what injuries you may encounter in order to be able to prevent them effectively. Find out what are the most common injuries and how to recover from them.
Coupling – This type of injury is most commonly associated with ankle and knee joints. The ligaments are first damaged. The swing is most often accompanied by people practicing sports, often insufficiently prepared and trained, often overweight. The injury is accompanied by characteristic "crunching". Post-torsional pain usually does not occur until the second day after an accident.
Bruising – is caused by external injuries – usually a fall or an impact. It consists in crushing cells, breaking the fibers of the intercellular substance, damage to vessels and nerves. Symptoms are usually pain and bruises. In most cases, wraps and ointments are recommended for breakage.
Torsion – This can occur within the ligament or in the area of the ligament bone attachment. People who practice sports are most at risk of the ankle joint twisting. The treatment time depends on the type of damage, usually between 3 and 6 weeks. The turn most often concerns the feet and occurs quite suddenly. Most often it occurs due to incorrect positioning of the foot on the ground and falling on the curved foot. Symptoms of turning include swelling, bruising, walking difficulties, reduced movement and pain. This type of injury most often affects people who work physically, amateurly and professionally in sport.
Tension of ligaments – this injury is treated relatively quickly, therefore it should not cause any further complications and should require advanced rehabilitation. People practicing sports (yoga, fitness, pilates) suffer from ligament tension. Binding ties are structures that bind bones together and allow them to move around at the same time. However, they are flexible, but can be broken off as a result of too much overload. Symptoms of injury include haematoma, swelling, bruising, pain and walking difficulties.
Reconvalescence of joints
In most cases, the doctor will recommend joint immobilisation as the first step. They can be made with the use of a professional stabilizer or special pads, in the most extreme cases gypsum is used. In addition, it is important to alleviate pain and visible bruises or haematomas. For this purpose, cold or warm wraps will work well, which will adequately stimulate circulation in the damaged joint. During convalescence it is also recommended to have an appropriate diet, enriched with vitamin C, vitamins B, iron and zinc, as well as to use appropriate dietary supplements. Litozin® dietary supplement is a unique dietary supplement developed especially for physically active people (regardless of the intensity or frequency of exercise). Thanks to the content of vitamin C, it supports proper collagen production to ensure proper functioning of cartilage and promotes the regeneration of joint cartilage. The wild rose, on the other hand, helps to keep the joints healthy and elastic for longer.

BB&T receives Justice Department subpoenas on government-backed loans
BB&T said it has received subpoenas from the Department of Justice seeking additional information related to a federal audit last year of its government-backed loans operation.
The Winston-Salem-based lender said it received the subpoenas in November and December. They followed a notification in June that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's inspector general was auditing the bank's compliance with Federal Housing Administration requirements for loan originations.
BB&T said in its annual report Wednesday that it's cooperating with the department and is responding to the subpoenas. It also said that HUD's inspector general has not made any claims against it and that it is unclear when the matter might be resolved.
BB&T said it has set aside $85 million in connection with the issue. The lender said it has identified a "potential exposure" related to losses incurred by the FHA on defaulted loans that range from $25 million to $105 million.
The bank declined to comment beyond what it disclosed in the annual report.
BB&T is the third-largest bank by deposits in the Charlotte metropolitan area, where it has roughly 1,900 employees across various business lines and about 70 branches.

Good couple of days for birding, first Brown Thrasher of the year showed up at our feeders today, yesterday we saw a Ring Necked Duck, several Greater Scaup and 4 Semipalmated Plover.
Rearranged our feeders as the Grackles were gobbling up the black oil seed and peanuts at a phenomenal rate. Have moved the black oil seed feeders and peanut feeder so that the larger birds cannot access them, although Woodpeckers, Nuthatches and smaller birds will be able to feed from them. Placed a feeder of loose corn in spot where I had the black oil seed.
Two benefits, the Grackles are not chowing down the black oil seed as quickly, it has lasted two days and is still half full, since I moved it. The Grackles now come and have a feed of corn and leave where as before they would sit at the black oil seed feeder or in the tree for extended periods of time and scare the smaller birds off.
A few pictures from the last few days.

I'm so excited to share this precious 2013 wedding with y'all! This wedding was filled with sunflowers and turquoise, so you know it's a good one! In fact, one of our most repinned images is from this wedding, and when you see the rest of these photos, you'll know why. This couple's wedding photographer was Jamie Fender, and she did a beautiful job of capturing this rustic chic wedding. These photos just make me smile!
(P.S. If you recognize this couple, it's because they were the models in our summer of 2012 interns' styled shoots, which I just blogged about a couple weeks ago!)
Rachel and Johnnie were married at The Barn at Twin Oaks Ranch on June 15, 2013. Their colors were turquoise and yellow, and their theme was rustic chic. "I am obsessed with sunflowers, so I wanted those to be our flowers," Rachel said. And as you're about to see, there were a ton of 'em... And it was AMAZING.
Let's talk about what these lovebirds and their bridal party wore. Rachel's gorgeous dress, from David's Bridal, was classic and beautiful, and so perfect for a rustic summer wedding! She is such a lovely bride! And she wore boots! Love!
The bridesmaids' turquoise dresses were also from David's Bridal. This style and length couldn't be more perfect for a summertime wedding, and helloooo! Boots for days! We're in love.
The groom and his guys were casual-chic in khaki pants and vests and turquoise ties. Again, the best look for a rustic chic summer wedding! This bridal party nailed it.
As I mentioned, Rachel loves sunflowers, and what a Barn Bride wants, a Barn Bride gets! This ceremony and reception were filled to the brim with bright, happy sunflowers. "The bouquets were gorgeous! Mine had so many flowers it weighed a ton but it was perfect!" Rachel said. Her bouquet and a few of the arrangements also contained a few white roses and yellow billy balls.
The bridesmaids carried simple sunflowers-only bouquets, and the rest of the arrangements were all sunflowers, too.
For the ceremony decor, Rachel chose mason jars, burlap and lace. The aisle was lined with logs and mason jars filled with - you guessed it! - the prettiest sunflower arrangements you ever did see. The ceremony seating was a mixture of church pews and covered hay bales. At the end of their aisle was a set of vintage white doors. They also had a simple, cute guestbook table with a sunflower arrangement and fans that doubled as programs. This ceremony was rustic chic at its finest!
The ceremony itself was sweet, intimate and so full of love. Rachel and Johnnie opted out of a first look, so the moment he first saw her when she was walking down the aisle was just precious! Rachel said one of her most treasured memories from her wedding day was that very moment.
"I will always remember the look on my Pa's face when he saw me and the look on Johnnie's face when he saw me," she said. "Those are the moments a woman feels the most beautiful." All the feels, I swear.
(Sorry for all these ceremony photos... they were just so pretty, I couldn't narrow it down anymore!)
Flower girls are THE cutest people ever.
I don't think I ever knew how much I loved sunflowers until I saw this gorgeous aisle!
I always love seeing newlyweds' faces as they walk back down the aisle as husband and wife! You'll rarely ever see two people happier than they are in that moment. And these portraits of Rachel and Johnnie after the ceremony? Well, they're just as sweet as pie. It's obvious how much these two adore each other!
Rachel and Johnnie's reception was simple and elegant, the perfect combination of rustic and chic. Their tables were dressed with white linens, turquoise napkins, burlap runners, sunflower arrangements on wood discs and lit candles. Their place settings included burlap and lace silverware holders, as well as turquoise chevron straws in mason jars.
This cake is just the cutest thing! White with a pretty pattern, turquoise trim and the sweetest topper. And a few sunflowers, of course! ;) Their cake sat atop a large wood disc, and the backdrop was full of turquoise streamers.
For favors, the newlyweds gave their guests chocolate mints, and they had a cute little "mint to be" sign to boot!
The rest of their reception included a father-daughter dance, a mother-son dance, and lots of fun and dancing for the bride, groom, and their guests. These photos of the bride with her dad and the groom with his mom? Maybe it's the pregnancy hormones, but I almost cried, y'all. The way these people look at each other! So. Dang. Sweet. <3
Rachel and Johnnie have yet to go on a honeymoon, but we hope they'll someday get to go on the trip of a lifetime together! Rachel said they're planning a "big anniversary vacation getaway," and we hope when it happens, it's the best time ever!
Finally, I asked Rachel to give us a little bit of feedback. We're all about feedback, as it helps us to know what our brides liked about their planning process and their wedding day, as well as what we could improve on. Rachel's response was short and sweet, and here's what she had to say: "You did a great job arranging everything and making sure each detail was exactly how I would want it! It was nice to not have to worry about decorating or cleaning up! It took so much stress off me!"
Rachel and Johnnie, getting to plan your wedding was such a pleasure! We wish you a lifetime full of happiness and all the very best! xoxoxoxo
I just love this sweet wedding, and I'm sure y'all did, too! You can't go wrong with sunflowers and a country, rustic vibe. Totally swoon-worthy!

Here I will try to introduce some used cars that have depreciated beyond any reasonable level.
Today we have a 2007 Audi S8 going for 3.79 million Yen:
Next we have a 2009 BMW 750i going for 3.39 million Yen:
embarrass most luxury rivals from Germany on the road as well as feature wise.
Finally we have a 2007 Mercedes Benz CL550 going for 4.18 million Yen:
This will make you roll around like a boss. My favorite depreciation wagon is the Mercedes Benz CL class luxury coupe with amazing interior and Brabus rims. Like the Audi above it has lost 3/4 of its value in 6 years, but it hasn't gone through model change yet. The problem is when it does, you it will look extremely dated and cheap... or will it?
Out of the cars, I think Fuga will give you less problems and grief at the pump, but spending Audi A3 money on a CL is not bad either in my book. Happy hunting!
Disclamer: I am not associated with any deaeler, these are purely finds from a public website. I am not aware or responsible of any malfunction or damage of the above vehicles. Purchase at your own risk if you would like to do so. I will not contact any dealers on your behalf. Links will go dead after car is sold.

In honor of me turning 30, I'm compiling 30 different top-30 lists on a wide variety of topics ranging from trivial interests of mine to meaningful life moments. Read the introductory post for more background information on my 30 at 30 project. Reminder: there is no scientific rationale for these lists. They were composed by a panel of one—me.
When people find out that I am a huge WWE fan, they generally have two reactions. Initially, they're surprised, even shocked. Once I confirm that yes, I, the educated, well-adjusted, mild-mannered English teacher rank WWE's Monday Night Raw second among my all-time favorite TV shows, their first question is always a variation of this: You know it's all fake, right?
Yes, I know the outcomes of the matches are predetermined. The idea of professional wrestling as legitimate competition was something I gave up on as a toddler when my dad introduced me to the WWF (The company was originally known as The World Wrestling Federation before a dispute with The World Wildlife Fund forced them to change to World Wrestling Entertainment in 2002). The problem is that everyone asking that question is missing the point entirely.

Sammy & Tony are one of those unique couples that everyone loves to be around and can't get enough of. Spend 30 seconds with them and you'll be struck by how pure and selfless their love is for one another. They were surrounded by so much love, support, laughter and dancing on the day they became one, and it was a blast and an honor to be a part of capturing the moments of their day.
Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Wodarck!

National Geographic : 1936 Mar
Again in the interests of Science, members of the National Geographic Society undertake new researches SWhile the scientific results of the stratosphere flight are being compiled for members, another expedition is being launched, this Sone occasioned by a total eclipse of the sun due on June 19. Weather surveys in dicate that along the path of the shadow, sched uled to sweep across Asia, clearest visibility may occur at Orenburg, U. S. S. R. To this region will go, in a journey half-way round the world, astronomers and photogra phers sponsored by Georgetown University and the National Geographic Society, and headed by Dr. Paul A. McNally, S.J. The observations and camera studies which will be made for publication in THE GEOGRAPHIC, will continue the work of the 1932 solar eclipse expedition into New England, and will add another chapter to The Society's 48-year record of exploration and scientific research. This remarkable photograph, taken by Dr. Paul A. McNally in 1932, shows the vast extent of coronal light. The corona holds important clues to the mighty forces working within the sun. As you contemplate these various endeavors in which you-as a member of The Society share an equal part with every other member, do you not think of friends who would appreci ate an opportunity to cooperate in The Society's useful work and to receive THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE-which brings so much pleasure and information to you?

Hey Ladies! It's Mariah, here again sharing some of the best breastfeeding products with you today! I've been breastfeeding my little man for 11 months now. It's been quite the adventure, but I've learned a lot and come across some really great products along the way. However, with this being my first baby, I'm DEFINITELY NOT an expert on the subject. That's why I asked the wonderful and amazing 'Or so she says…' Facebook followers for their recommendations too! Whether you're a brand new mom not knowing where to start or a mother of six looking for upgrades, I hope you can find something on this list that will make your breastfeeding experience a better one…
The Best Breastfeeding Products for New Moms (she: Mariah)
These tank tops would probably be my #1 recommendation. I wear one basically everyday! The reason they are so awesome is that they hook right onto your nursing bra (they work with any nursing bra that clips down). As a person who wears a tank top under pretty much everything, these have been so nice! They're comfortable, come in cute colors, and keep your skin/underclothes covered because you don't have to pull it up to nurse.
"Undercover Mama functions as an undershirt, keeping your back, sides and belly covered as you nurse. It has no straps and attaches directly to the outer flaps of any top-opening nursing bra. Plus, Undercover Mama's generous length makes them great to layer under your shirts and allows you to nurse comfortably."
Bravado Body Silk Seamless Nursing Bra
This nursing bra has the best reviews on Amazon by far and I can see why. It looks super comfy! No underwire, stretchy fabric, and removable pad inserts- A bra like this is perfect for that first week or so of engorgement when your boobs are trying to figure out what the heck is going on and with the pad inserts it might just become your go-to bra for the entire time you're breastfeeding!
"First time ever, incorporation of an all-over jacquard pattern in a seamless nursing bra. Beautiful tonal effect. Luxuriously soft, seamless & wire-free for added comfort. Removable foam inserts provide a lovely shape & nipple discretion. Smooth knitted fabric gives unique body hugging stretchiness."
After I got through the engorgement phase, I searched desperately for a nursing bra that had some decent padding. I'm not a very well-endowed person and wearing nursing pads under my non-padded bra just made what I had look lumpy! No thank you! Then along came the You! Lingerie Nursing Bra. My nursing pads didn't show through anymore, I had great support, a cute bra, and my boobs actually looked good! Be sure to read the reviews and look at their size chart before purchasing one of these babies because the cups run small. I had to order a "D" cup (yeah, I wish!).
"Beautifully constructed maternity and nursing bras feature soft white shimmer lace, full molded plunge white color cups embellished with the brand's signature splash of hot pink color throughout cup lining, nursing clips, and decorative bows. These super chic lingerie provides both function and everyday comfort."
A sleep bra is another awesome product for breastfeeding mamas. I used mine in the hospital and almost every night after I got home to help hold my nursing pads in place. There's nothing worse than waking up in the morning with a big wet spot next to you because your nursing pads fell out/slipped out of place! Oh good, washing the sheets is exactly what I wanted to do today!
"The Lamaze Sleep Bra is very convenient for mid night nursing sessions. Wear it while pregnant or after. This bra is cottony soft and super comfortable and offers you the support you need at night. Its simple crossover front design makes a super comfy nursing and sleep bra."
Simple Wishes Hands Free Breast Pump Bra
If you're a working mom, I would highly recommend a hands free breast pump bra. I used mine multiple times a shift during my nursing preceptorship. I could pump while I ate lunch or charted and my break didn't have to be any longer than anyone else's. I worked the night shift so it also made it possible for me to pump in the car on the way home. Thankfully it was dark so I never got any strange looks but being able to go right to bed when I got home was SO NICE!
"The Simple Wishes Hands Free Pumping Bustier Bra provides convenience to mothers while they are pumping breast milk, leaving them free to do other tasks. This comfortable and versatile bra features an adjustable band for a custom fit throughout your entire nursing period."
Lansinoh Disposable Nursing Pads
I've tried multiple brands of nursing pads and these are definitely my favorite. Lansinoh pads don't show through my bras and they have TWO adhesive strips instead of just one like many other brands have, so they stay in place so much better! They have great absorbency and they pull the wetness away from your skin which is a must.
"Discrete, comfortable protection to help you stay dry day or night. The pads are individually wrapped with a quilted honeycomb lining to provide leak-proof protection and a unique breathable waterproof layer to ensure complete coverage. They also maintain their form and smooth shape even with the heaviest flow so you can get all of the protection with none of the bulk."
Bamboobies Washable Nursing Pads
If you'd rather go for reusable pads, Bamboobies Washable Pads have great reviews on Amazon!
"Breastfeeding is beautiful – but leaks and lines are not! Bamboobies ultra-soft nursing pads are unique because they don't show through or leak through like other washable pads. Ultra-thin, heart-shaped regular pads are made for light leaking and less visibility and Overnights are made for heavy leaking and newborn nursing. Both types of pads are made with a unique milk-proof backing to stop embarrassing leaks."
Have you ever seen these?! I've struggled a lot with low milk supply and so for me, every drop of breast milk is precious! If you feel the same, consider giving these milk-saver pads a try!
"Ask any mom and she'll tell you: breast milk is a precious commodity. Women will go to great lengths to ensure that not a drop of "liquid gold" gets wasted. That's precisely what makes the award-winning Milkies Milk-Saver such a wonderful invention for breastfeeding mothers. The patented Milk-Saver collects your leaking breast milk as you nurse – allowing you to store extra breast milk effortlessly with each feeding."
Lansinoh HPA Lanolin Nipple Cream
Among the Or so she says… Facebook followers we had quite the mix of people crazy about Lanolin and people who were anti-Lanolin. I actually loved it during the first month of breastfeeding. It totally helped protect and sooth my sore and cracked nipples. Such a life saver!
"One of the most highly recommended nipple creams by lactation consultants is safe for both mom and baby. Use it to soothe and protect sore, cracked nipples. The world's purest lanolin – safe for mom and baby, 100% natural, single ingredient product – BHT & Preservative free,used by and recommended by breastfeeding moms, and hypoallergenic."
Earth Mama Angel Baby Natural Nipple Butter
An alternative to Lanolin that came highly recommend from our followers is this Earth Mama Angel Baby Nipple Butter.
"Clinically tested, hospital recommended, Certified by Oregon Tilth and Non-GMO Project Verified, Natural Nipple Butter is a lanolin-free, zero toxin calendula nipple cream for breastfeeding mamas, and anyone with dry, cracked skin. It's 100% natural, vegan and safe for mama and baby, no need to wash it off before nursing! Apply after each feeding, or as needed on lips, cheeks, heels and elbows."
Earth Mama Angel Baby Booby Tubes
Clogged ducts can be annoying and painful and I've found that heat packs can be so relieving! These Booby Tubes got great reviews.
"Booby Tubes are natural, safe, gel-free breast packs made with an organic cotton shell and filled with all-natural flax seed. Use warm or cold, depending on your nursing needs. Store Booby Tubes in the freezer and wear them inside bra between feedings to help the tenderness of engorgement and to comfort breasts during weaning. Booby Tubes can also safely deliver warm, moist heat to tender breasts to encourage milk flow, maintain open milk ducts, promote let-down and comfort infection."
Another heat pack that I would love to try is the NuzzleHUG. I love that you can just hang it around your shoulders for hands free relief!
"The NuzzleHUG™ can sooth engorgement, increase milk flow, relieve clogged ducts, and sooth after pains. It was originally created to aid nursing moms, but it's also great for women experiencing discomfort from breast surgery, breast cancer treatments, Raynaud's disease, hot flashes and PMS. It can even be worn around the waist to soothe low back pain, menstrual cramps and endometriosis discomfort."
Medela In Style Advanced Breast Pump
I have loved having a Medela pump while working! Mine included a battery pack for on-the-go pumping which was a must for me. I love that it has a let-down phase that begins as you start pumping which really gets the milk flowing!
"Collect breast milk at work or during other absences from baby with the Medela Pump In Style Advanced. Designed for moms who pump several times a day, this daily-use breast pump features 2-Phase Expression technology that mimics the two distinct phases of how babies breast-feed and offers portable convenience for pumping anywhere."
Medela Harmony Manual Breast Pump
I've never tried a manual breast pump, but this one came highly recommended by Mariel! They're great for quickly relieving the discomfort of over-full breasts.
"A single, manual breast pump designed for occasional time away from baby. The lightweight design is portable and discreet. 2-Phase Expression technology in an easy-to-us soft-touch, ergonomic swivel handle makes manual pumping comfortable."
Boon Grass Countertop Drying Rack
Okay, this seems silly, but I love this grass drying rack! It's designed to allow air up into bottles, nipples, breast pump accessories, storage bags, etc. so they can dry without holding in any condensation. It has great reviews on Amazon!
"A fresh take on drying racks. From bottles to pacifiers, Grass holds all your baby accessories as they air dry on the flexible blades that resemble real grass. Water drains into the lower tray, where it's completely contained. And it's got a sweet, natural presence, like a meadow full of baby deer. Only smaller. And without the deer. Low-profile drying rack. Easily holds items of all shapes and sizes upright for drying while excess water collects in bottom tray."
NUK Seal 'n Go Breast Milk Bags
By far my favorite breast milk storage bags! They are nice and thick and have two zip-lock strips. I've never have one leak on me!
"These are our strongest bags yet! NUK Seal 'n Go Breast Milk Storage Bags safely and securely store precious breast milk in either the refrigerator or freezer until you are ready to feed your baby. Designed for collecting, storing, and freezing breast milk, these bags are 100% leak-proof with double zipper seals. They are also freezer safe and self-standing, so easily sit or lay flat on your freezer shelf until ready for use. The oxygen barrier permits breast milk to stay fresh during storage."
With my baby now 11 months old, nursing covers are a thing of the past. I usually find myself nursing in an empty room when I'm away from home simply because trying to get him to leave the cover over us is just not worth the fight. However, back when he had less of an opinion, I used one very similar to this Bebe Au Lait cover. I loved the flexible band across the top that allows you and your baby to see each other!
"Nurse discreetly and in style! The unique rigid neckline allows for ventilation, as well as direct eye contact with the baby. Terrycloth pocket detail for quick cleanup or storage of breast pads or pacifiers. 100% cotton machine washable. Generous sizing keeps mommy completely covered during breastfeeding."
We had a lot of people raving about their Boppy pillows! I've used one on and off for the last few months and have loved the extra support.
"The award-winning boppy feeding and infant support pillow celebrates 25 years of supporting moms and babies. This versatile pillow lifts baby to a more ergonomic position for comfortable feedings, then transitions to the perfect spot for propping, tummy time and learning to sit. Comes with a cottony cute slipcover that is removable for easy washing."
My Brest Friend Nursing Pillow
While I have been using the Boppy pillow lately, I didn't particularly like it when my baby was smaller. I felt like it didn't hold him up high enough for it to be helpful so I ended up just using pillows most of the time. This nursing pillow, however, also came with rave reviews from our followers, and I think it could be worth a try next time around. Reviewers love the back support and that you can cinch it up higher on your body.
"The no.1 Breastfeeding Support Pillow with Lactation Consultants. My Brest Friend is the only pillow that stays securely in place and does not shift or slide like other crescent shaped pillows. It provides support, comfort and security to both mom and baby, making breastfeeding more enjoyable and successful."

Borscht, red beet soup, is the best-known Russian and Ukrainian soup in the world. Traditional borscht recipe uses cabbage. But there are some Russian beet soup recipes with sauerkraut. And this is one of them.
You can take for this recipe any kind of meat or do not use meat at all. But the right recipe of red borscht requires you to use beef.
- 1 pound of bone-in beef (beef plate, ribs, shoulder)
- 0.7 pounds of sauerkraut
- 1 onion
- 1 carrot
- 1 beet
- 1-2 bay leaves
- 2-3 tablespoon of tomato paste
- 2-3 potatoes
- 3-4 fragrant peppercorns
- 3-4 cloves of garlic
- salt and sugar, to taste
- a little oil, butter or ghee (ghee is the best choice).
1. Boil beef broth. Cook your meat until it is fork tender.
2. Boil the beet and grate it.
3. Fry the grated beet in hot oil, butter or ghee over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Then add a little sauerkraut juice and tomato paste. Cook, occasionally stirring, for 5-7 minutes.
4. Chop the onion. Toast it over small heat until beginning to brown.
5. Grate the carrot and add it to the onion. And simmer vegetables over moderate heat for 5 minutes.
6. Rinse sauerkraut and drain it well.
7. Add sauerkraut to the pan with onion and carrot. Stir and fry for 2 minutes. Then pour a little sauerkraut juice, cover the pan and cook vegetables over moderate heat for 5-7 minutes.
8. Cut potatoes into moderate size pieces.
9. Set the pan with beef broth over medium heat and add pieces of potatoes, all your other vegetables, bay leaves and fragrant peppercorns.
10. Simmer borscht over small heat for 15 minutes. Then taste it and add salt and sugar if you want.
Never add salt and sugar to your borscht until it is nearly ready. You can oversalt your soup or make it too sweet.
11. Chop the garlic and add it to the borscht. Cover the saucepan and set aside.
Borscht with sauerkraut should be eaten hot and so you can serve it immediately. However, the soup taste will be much better if you eat it in a few hours. The best choice is cook the soup in the evening and eat it in the afternoon of the next day.
And yes, I almost forgot. It is necessary to serve Russian borscht with sour cream.

Molecules and Mountains
Alec Kwo '16
Can the growth of an Alaskan mountain range affect the weather in California? Sean Reilly '16 is finding out.
Can the growth of an Alaskan mountain range affect the weather in California? Sean Reilly '16 is finding out.
Have you ever thought about how the growth of an Alaskan mountain range could affect the weather here in California? Sean Reilly, class of '16, most certainly has. After receiving one of the the School for Field Studies (SFS) Distinguished Student Research Awards, in recognition of his environmental research while abroad in Australia, Sean is now focusing on conducting research on various water samples in the brand new Stable Isotope Laboratory in Daly Science, with Environmental Studies & Sciences (ESS)Assistant Professor Hari Mix. The pair has been using a new laser absorption spectroscopy machine to make rapid and extremely accurate measurements on various water samples; the technology has a wide variety of climate science and hydrological applications. Sean and Hari are specifically interested in looking at the presence of the Oxygen isotopes in water samples from the Northern Sierras and the Alaskan Range in regards to weather patterns, temperature change over time, and mountain range growth.
The project that Sean is about to take on is an appropriate blend of the passions and interests that he has developed throughout his life. Sean has lived most of his life in San Jose, but he fondly remembers frequent trips and time spent up in the Santa Cruz mountains with his family. Having taken his very first steps in the Santa Cruz Mountains, Sean developed an affinity for the outdoors at a young age that has progressively grown throughout his life. He also recounts going to Marine Biology summer camps growing up that sparked his interest in environmental issues. During high school, Sean joined the environmental justice club and began rock climbing (currently his favorite outdoor activity). Sean notes that the more he has learned about environmental issues, the more responsibility he feels to do his part for this cause: "I remember the first time I went to an old-growth forest and feeling very small. I wondered how anyone could come into a place so beautiful and with so much history and want to tear it down for profit." Fast-forwarding to the present, Sean is now an environmental science and biology double major, President of SCU's GREEN (Grass Roots Environmental Efforts Now) Club, and President of SCU's Rock Climbing Club.
This spring break, Sean and Hari will be traveling to the Northern Sierras to collect and analyze water samples directly from the mountains that may clarify how old the Northern Sierras are (substantial debates exist as to how old the mountain range is). By observing the rainfall patterns that travel through and around the Northern Sierras over time, they may be able to settle this long disputed topic. Though the analyses of the water samples takes place in a confined laboratory, the location of the research site is ideal for Sean and his passion for experiencing the outdoors.
The adventures do not end after spring break. This upcoming summer Sean and Hari will be conducting similar experiments in the Alaskan Range for an entire month. The rainfall that passes through the Alaskan Range eventually reaches California, which makes the mountain range more relevant to us Californians than we may initially posit. Measuring the Oxygen isotope ratios will allow them to observe if rainfall patterns have changed trajectory over time due to factors such as glacier growth, growth of the Alaskan Range itself, or temperature changes where the range is located. By the end of their time in the mountains, Sean and Hari hope their findings will allow us to more accurately predict California weather patterns.
After taking the new absorption technology to near and distant mountain ranges, Sean hopes to continue his research in the Stable Isotope Laboratory by investigating statewide water conservation issues. Sean wants to take samples from inlets and outlets of reservoirs and aquifers that California cities (i.e. Los Angeles) extract water from. The difference in isotope ratios at the inlets of reservoirs to the isotope ratios at the outlets will indicate how much water is lost simply to evaporation. In turn, water suppliers will be able to look into more efficient ways of transporting or storing water.
Though the water samples are mere microliters in volume, they have grand applications. Stable Isotope research is quite young, which gives Sean a bright outlook on what the technology can continue to contribute to the world.
More on the machine:
The absorption machine is quite remarkable. Water samples are vaporized in an injection block and funneled into a separate chamber. Inside the chamber there are two, slightly offset lasers that pass through the vapor and eventually hit a detector. This detector indicates the relative ratios of O16, O17, O18, Hydrogen, and Deuterium from the lasers' measurements.

That is just what our lives feel like right now concerning Don's treatment.
First his 12 months of chemo failed.
Then he was rejected for the trial drugs.
Then we had to wait a year for the FDA to approve a new drug.
Then we had to wait to get on that drug because the drug company that makes the new drug requires the patients to take a class about it.
While we were waiting for them to call, Don developed a hernia so they were looking at taking out his gall bladder at the same time since it is full of stones.
At the last minute those surgeries were cancelled.
Then they deemed him too risky and are now NOT taking out his gall bladder .. but MIGHT fix his hernia.
Now we have to wait for the surgeon in Houston to confrence with the transplant specialist to see if they are going to do his hernia repair or just let him start on the new chemo cocktail.
BUT - we can't take the newly approved drug until we take a class about it given by the drug company that makes the medicine. They were suppose to call us to schedule a class OVER 4 MONTHS AGO!

Download Numbers 1.1 here.
I got many questions about Numbers being really free. So this plug-in is FREE but in order to use it you'll need registered version (or trial time left) of FxFactory Pro 2.0.5. I know there are some totally free FxPacks around and I originally thought I could publish this as one but Noise Industries policy is that I'am not allowed to publish totally free FxPacks if I'am not FxPack developer partner. And I understand them. They have to make their living with FxFactory but for me this is only hobby and I'am more towards open source development so this way I can keep my FxPacks totally open so anyone can modify those, build better one or copy some parts.
So sorry guys. FxFactory Pro 2.0.5 required at least at the moment. It's great package. So I warmly recommend spending 399 bucks, learning some Quartz Composer and starting developing some handy plug-ins. I'am not programmer and made Numbers in couple of hours. Point is that some things are much easier to accomplish in Quartz Composer compared to Motion and with FxFactory Pro you can take that Quartz Composer advantage easily to Motion (or After Effects or Final Cut Pro). And I think it'd be great to see active community developing FxPack plug-ins. Although it'd might happen more easily if anyone could publish totally free FxPacks for the rest of the world to use. Don't know. Anyway I'am sure that guys at Noise Industries have think a lot about their current working model and found it best.

Dwayne Pascal Duncan, 89, of Nicholson, died Sunday, Feb. 10, 2019, at St. Mary's Hospice House. Mr. Duncan was born in Commerce to the late Pascal and Wilda Chandler Duncan and was the oldest of four boys and the last living of his siblings.
Mr. Duncan is survived by his sons, Jerald Duncan of Woodstock, Joel Duncan of Nicholson, Jeffery Duncan of Danielsville, and Jimmy Duncan of Peachtree Corners and his daughter, Vicki Hendricks of Shelby, N.C.
Born in 1930, Mr. Duncan grew up during the great depression, which influenced his entire life. He was a veteran of the United States Army and a retired mechanic. Those who knew Mr. Duncan can attest he never fully retired and could be found most days working in his wood shop, garden or chicken house. He used his woodworking skills in a pallet business with his sons, and he also enjoyed making rocking chairs, swings, bird houses and other popular wood items for local craft fairs, Girl Scout troops, company picnics and of course, his family.
Mr. Duncan had a passion for barbeque and made delicious stew and smoked pork. He was known in the community for his strong work ethic, loyalty and kindness – always willing to lend a helping hand.
To his family, he was lovingly known as Dad, Papa Duncan, PawPaw, Unkie, Great Granddad, Pop and a long list of other names created by an adoring fan club of 18 grandchildren, 33 great-grandchildren, five great-great-grandchildren, plus nieces, nephews and greats, who he loved to hear from and brag about. The family was blessed with his integrity and humility and through his life example, his legacy lives on in all who knew and loved him.
Funeral services: Wednesday, Feb. 13, at 11 a.m. at the chapel of Little-Ward Funeral Home with the Rev. Doug Duncan officiating. Interment to follow in Jackson Memorial Park.

This was an interesting week to be in Chicago. Got to feel sorry for those Chicago Cubs fans. Are they the unluckiest team in baseball? As a Minnesota Twins fan I have been able to relish the excitement of winning a couple of World Series in the last 16 years. But oh those Cubbies. I won't add too much more to the guy's fifteen minutes of fame, but you really have to feel sorry for Steve Bartman, the Cubs fan who from here on out is going to be more infamous than Mrs. O'Leary's cow. For his sake I was really rooting the Cubs on last night but it was not to be.
What I found most amusing about this week was the reaction of the White Sox fans. One would think that with the Sox out of the playoffs that they would rally behind the city of Chicago and support the remaining local team. No way. The only people happier in Chicago than the Florida Marlins are the Chicago White Sox fans. It's really something.
[UPDATE] – Curse of the Bambino still alive and kicking as well. Sorry Jim.

MPs ask president Museveni to strenthen IGG other than creating another monitoring unit
Members of parliament have urged President Museveni to streamline and strengthen the inspectorate of government instead of setting up another monitoring unit.
Yesterday the president while addressing the nation created a
monitoring unit compromised of three people to assist in fighting
corruption saying the masses no longer trusted the IGG.
Mitooma woman MP who is also the chairperson of the human rights
commitee of parliament says the creation of a new unit is like
duplication of the work of IGG and has instead advised the president
to assist and support the inspectorate in araes they are not
performing well so that they can fulfil their mandate.
Where as Busia municipality MP Geofrey Macho says this unit set up by
the president will not work and is only aimed at wasting tax payers

In the marketing world, it can be difficult to keep up with the latest trends. Digital transformations can be both thrilling and annoying due to constant changes in what is trending at the time.
Now-a-days, companies must adapt to the new marketing changes, or they will die out. Unfortunately, companies that have been operating for decades have a more difficult time adapting to these marketing changes. The key to competing and transforming in today's world is to keep on learning. Nigel Morris, chief strategy and innovation officer at Dentsu Aegis, states, "When we're skiing, if we lean back, we fall down. We must lean into transformation, much like skiing" (Morris). To continue the success, companies must be open to change and they need to keep looking forward.
To keep a positive and driving attitude to learning, it is important to redevelop skills and relearn what is new. Figuring out the latest tools and using them effectively and correctly will help companies learn new advancements and keep up with the latest trends. There are many participants involved in technical marketing repairs, so it is highly important to know which technologies are top priority when investing time and effort into them. Although it is important for companies to learn from their seniors, it is highly important to set the example of developing startups. Google and Facebook started up during the digital age and they have been the "millennials" of the business world (Mashable).
Marketing geniuses have created an artificially intelligent Chabot (AI), which is a cost-conscious technology that drives conversions. AI is transforming today's business world and the ability to connect with customers. AI is all about the power of conversation; it can interpret tone, process information quickly, and interact with humans in a unique way. Mashable states, "Today, Artificial Intelligence Marketing is an increasingly attractive addition to a company's technology stack." Soon enough, AI will gain access to all things technology; from smartphones to things like Alexa. Artificial intelligence makes decisions outside of data strategies and rules set by humans, unlike machine learning, which stays within human programming. AI will be valuable not only within marketing campaigns, but with marketers themselves.
As the digital age continues to advance, companies need to adapt, embrace, and continue to learn.

My whole life I always feared the question : " What do you do ? " , there were things I knew I loved but I could never seem to package them into a "career".
Photography has always been a passion of mine ever since I studied film in 1994 ( 14 years old). I loved all aspects of of this process form the clique of the shutter to smell of the fixer in the darkroom. I took photos wherever I went but when it came to taking it one step further and becoming a "professional" I managed to always talk myself out of it, saying its too hard, its competitive, I don't like the fashion world and on and on. The truth was I was scared of failure and needed to go full circle around to come back and find that same little girl with her camera.
I have absolutely no regrets that I didn't pursue this passion earlier as I do believe that life gives you what you need most at any current time. I needed to learn my own value through long winding road of self searching.
Last year I bought my first ever digital camera not knowing how I was going to justify the cost I went for it. I started to document my yoga practice and my life using Instagram as a publishing platform. My dear friends and inspirational teachers', sisters Michelle and Clare Merrefield, suggested I start to offer my services to Yogi's as I understand the practice and am able to capture its magic, Michelle also offered me my first commissioned job as her photographer shooting covers for her new DVD's ( sold across the country at Kmart and BigW). And then it became a "career" growing by word of mouth. I photograph yogis mostly but also people looking for a portrait. 18 moths ago I would have never saw this coming, I lacked the vision that arises from a deep self trust that anything is achievable, the story is yet to be told and age or social statistics mean nothing unless you allow them too.
I'm forever grateful for the friends and family who believed in me all along, I'm thankful for my beautiful clients who make this job feel like anything but work, and of course I'm thankful to you my friends for taking the time to read my expressions.
Its never too late to change direction or start something new, all it takes is trust in the whispers of your heart.
Thanks to my assistant Leon Bryant for these beautiful snaps.

McIntyre expects to climb Bruins goalie depth chartby Matt Kalman
WILMINGTON, Mass. -- With a sunburned nose as red as a goal light, Zane McIntyre looked more off-duty lifeguard than future NHL goalie after the first day of Boston Bruins development camp at Ristuccia Arena.
"Looks like Rudolph," McIntyre said.
The 22-year-old explained he recently fell asleep in a boat and woke up with the sunburn. He needed to be wide awake as he tried to make an impression on the Boston brass in his sixth development camp since the Bruins selected him in the sixth round (No. 165) at the 2010 NHL Draft, his first since he turned pro this summer.
McIntyre left the University of North Dakota after three seasons and signed with the Bruins on July 1. He was 29-10-3 with a 2.05 goals-against average and .929 save percentage last season, when he helped UND reach the Frozen Four, was a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award, and won the Mike Richter Award as the most outstanding goaltender in NCAA Division 1.
He could've utilized a clause in the NHL collective bargaining agreement that would have made him a free agent July 1, but he agreed to terms with Boston weeks before.
"Deep down I knew I wanted to be a Bruin. … There's a lot of similarities where I've kind of grown up with kind of a hard-nosed mentality; you earn everything you get," McIntyre said. "I don't know if it's the city or the culture. I don't know. It's something pretty special, and I felt really comfortable with the organization here as well in my position.
"I spent my past three years in Grand Forks (N.D.), where it's just a small town. Everybody really enjoys hockey. … But in this area, it's a sport market. Everyone loves being a Bruins fan. There's a lot of history, a lot of passion here. That's something that really spoke to me, and I think I kind of felt comfortable in a sense in that aspect."
Boston drafted McIntyre before his first of two seasons with the Fargo Force of the United States Hockey League. The Bruins knew at the time they could be patient with his development because they were set in goal with Tuukka Rask and Tim Thomas. Boston still has depth in goal; Rask has blossomed into one of the best goaltenders in the NHL and 2012 first-round pick Malcolm Subban is on the cusp of earning a roster spot.
Subban and veteran Jeremy Smith each had a solid season with the Providence Bruins of the American Hockey League and is under contract for this season.
The crowded roster didn't discourage McIntyre's desire to sign with Boston.
"Anywhere you go in pro hockey there's going to be competition and it's going to be a cycle of new, younger guys coming through and everything," McIntyre said. "So, I mean, that really didn't play a factor when you can look at certain teams, look at the depth charts and everything. But at the end of the day, you've just got to go out and do your job and make sure you're looking out for yourself in a sense too."
Despite his lack of pro experience, McIntyre contends he'll be at least the Bruins' No. 2 goalie when training camp ends.
"As a hockey player you're super-competitive in any position," he said. "We're going to do the best to try and be the best. Whether it's somebody's working off the ice doing something as well. I'm going to put my best foot forward in every situation I can to maybe get that spot that's ahead of me."
McIntyre honed his technique to best use his athletic 6-foot-2, 207-pound frame. The results have followed an upward trajectory; he won 58 of 91 decisions in his college career. Each year, he worked with UND goaltending coach Karl Goehring during the season and Impact Hockey goaltending coach Dave Rogalski in the summer.McIntyre said he must be more patient in the pro game.
"The biggest thing is sometimes I've been maybe too aggressive in a sense with my game and where I'm at with my position of the net," he said. "So I think that's where I've been working on my footwork and having patience and stuff like that too."
McIntyre's patience might be tested by the Bruins depth chart as much as by opposing shooters. Rask, the 2014 Vezina Trophy winner, is signed through the 2019-20 season. Subban has two years of pro experience and seems to have an early edge on McIntyre.
"I'm sure they're going to give him a good look in training camp," said Bruins development coach Jay Pandolfo, who ran the camp this year. "I'm sure he'll be in rookie camp, and they'll get a quicker look at him before the other guys get there. So I'm sure he'll get a good opportunity."
McIntyre isn't asking for more than a chance to earn a job.
"I just got to learn to control what I can control and put my best foot forward, whether that's in the situation at the big-club level or whether that's in the AHL," he said. "Wherever you go there's going to be competition. So I know that and understand that and I've just got to go forward."
