Guatemala (pronounced /ˌɡwɑːtəˈmɑːlə/ ( listen); Spanish: República de Guatemala, Spanish pronunciation: [reˈpuβlika ðe ɣwateˈmala]) is a country in Central America bordered by Mexico to the north and west, the Pacific Ocean to the southwest, Belize to the northeast, the Caribbean to the east, and Honduras and El Salvador to the southeast. Its area is 108,890 km² (42,043 mi²) with an estimated population of 13,276,517.
A representative democracy, its capital is Guatemala de la Asunción, also known as Guatemala City. Guatemala's abundance of biologically significant and unique ecosystems contributes to Mesoamerica's designation as a biodiversity hotspot. The former Mayan civilization was a Mesoamerican civilization, which continued throughout the Post-Classic period until the arrival of the Spanish. The Mayas live in Guatemala, Honduras, Belize, the southern part of Mexico and northern parts of El Salvador.
Guatemala became independent from Spain in 1821, joining the Mexican Empire. After it became an independent country in its own right, it was ruled by a series of dictators, assisted by the United Fruit Company. The late 20th century saw Guatemala embroiled in a 36-year-long civil war. Following the war, Guatemala has witnessed both economic growth, and successive successful democratic elections, the most recent being in 2011.

I don't have any specific manufacturer in mind but I was thinking arc a750? Presumably the drivers have gotten a lot more stable. Not a ton of options I could find for Nvidia that were worth the price point.

A few days ago, we had the privilege of sitting in on the final presentations of Sustainability Design, a new class being taught by Scott Boylston at SCAD.
The focus was the branding and marketing of the Trustees' Garden, including its 9 acre plot of land (now being developed as an organic garden, headed up by Farmer D with participation from Union Mission), The Trustees' Market (which features local farmers, music, food and art) and the Charles H. Morris Center.
The students were broken up into 4 groups, each with a different focus, but all intended to engage the community:
Group 1: Branding and Marketing-
They designed a logo for the Trustees' Market as well as a brand for the Trustees' Garden complex itself. They also designed a website and a mobile kitchen/vegetable stall that could service as a versatile marketing tool.
Group 2: Educational Game Cards –
They designed an educational game which utilized playing cards intended to teach kids about conservation and sustainability. They also offered suggestions about using the cards to promote the Market by incorporating coupons as a part of the design of the cards.
Group 3: Containers and bicycles –
These student focussed on the use of local materials like sweet grass and clay to create planting containers, as well as the reuse of existing plastic containers in an interactive way to teach kids about gardening. They then segued into talking about the use of bicycles as transportation to and from the market, using them as mobile advertising in a fashion similar to Ikea.
Group 4: Sculpture –
This group focused on the design of a large piece of sculpture to be installed on the grounds of the Trustees' Garden. They also suggested the duplication of the sculpture in smaller scale in various locations throughout the city and in the form of keepsakes for the purpose of raising funds.
Although I'd have liked to see some of the loose ends tied up a bit neater as far as issues concerning practicality, materials, effectiveness etc. overall, I was happy to see the students thinking in terms of the triple bottom line.
Kudos to Scott Boylston for teaching this class!
This is definitely where the future of design is headed.

Humanities at Southampton offers a range of innovative flexible learning options, so you can tailor your degree to suit your specific needs and interests.
Combined Honours programmes give students the opportunity to study two areas of interest throughout their undergraduate degree. You may be keen to continue with subjects you have enjoyed at college level, or you might be interested in adding a new subject area to your existing study experiences.
All Humanities students have the option to study a minor subject alongside their main course, so you graduate with, for example, BA History with American Studies. Minor subject areas include Creative Writing, Music, Philosophy, Politics and many others. For further information visit Customise your degree page.
Interdisciplinary modules provide you with the opportunity to broaden your learning. Each module explores key contemporary subjects, such as sustainability or intercultural communication, from the perspective of different disciplines. You work with students from other subjects, learn through innovative methods, such as group work and social media, and are assessed in new ways, such as student-led teaching and presentations. See our Curriculum Innovation webpage for more details.
The Southampton Language Opportunity provides you with the opportunity to study a language free of charge, alongside your degree programme. The scheme is funded by the Southampton Opportunity and managed by Modern Languages and Linguistics. The classes offer no formal qualification or provide any credit, but are perfect for those wanting to start a new language or polish up on previous skills. For more information visit Southampton language opportunity page.
At Humanities all our degree programmes can be studied part-time.
For some of our students, full-time study isn't a practical possibility for professional, financial or personal reasons. Others have made a deliberate choice to take the less pressurised part-time route to a degree - for example embarking on a course after retirement or returning to academic study after a lengthy time away from education.
Full-time undergraduate degrees are usually completed in three years (or four, for language degrees involving a year abroad). Part-time students cover the same content, but over a longer time-scale, between four (or five for language degrees) and eight years.
The most common arrangement is to take half the number of modules per semester taken by full-time students. However, you can complete the degree course more quickly by changing to full-time after a minimum period of study (usually two years) on a part-time basis; this path can be particularly suitable for parents of young children.
Through our links with other European universities under the Study Abroad scheme students can also elect to spend a semester studying abroad in Paris, Amsterdam, Bergen, Caen, Potsdam or Wroclaw.
History has a schedule of courses, events and cultural days which form part of the Humanities Lifelong Learning programme of part-time study and events.
Courses and events are available in the following subject areas: archaeology, film, English literature, history, Jewish studies, modern languages, music and philosophy.
Visit the Humanities Lifelong Learning website to find out more.
What attracted me to Southampton was the diversity of its history modules. I have found myself studying Spanish, Iranian and British history which has expanded my knowledge and awareness of current affairs. I think that it's really rewarding when you feel as though you have a grasp on a whole period of history

Kids love to spray water! This is a fun art and fine motor activity!
Materials(affiliate links):
Spray bottles (We got them at the dollar store)
Food Coloring
Poster Board (also from dollar store)
Check out the boys doing this activity!
Full Details: https://learnasyouplay.net/2018/06/25/spray-bottle-painting-ages-2/
Posted by LEARN as you PLAY- Preschool Activities on Monday, June 25, 2018
First fill your spray bottles with water. Then put in your food coloring. We used 10-15 drops for each color. The more you use the darker the color will be.
Next spray your paper with the colored water!
The boys enjoyed exploring with the spray bottles. Especially when they realized if they twisted the nozzle the water would squirt farther.
We had so much fun with this activity. The boys wanted to fill the bottles and spray some more so we turned the poster boards around and painted the other sides!

Quinoa, Flax (and Blueberry) Pancakes
Monday night pancakes! with sausage left over from Sunday brunch, last night we enjoyed a bit of barbecued salmon with couscous and green beans. This is another great quinoa recipe borrowed from Quinoa 365 by Patricia Green and Carolyn Hemming, and I have to admit I preferred mine with a bit of honey instead of maple syrup. Enjoy!
Quinoa, Flax (and Blueberry) Pancakes
2 1/2 c. quinoa flour
1/2 c. ground flax
1/4 c. sugar
2 T. baking powder
1 t. salt
2 1/2 c. milk
2 eggs
2 T. canola oil
1 t. vanilla
blueberries (optional)
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, flax, sugar, baking powder and salt and in a medium bowl whisk together the 4 remaining wet ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix and whisk until combined and smooth.
Cook the pancakes as you would, a hot pan, a bit of oil, 1/4 cup of batter per pancake, and if you're using the blueberries, sprinkle them onto the pancakes as soon as you pour the batter into the pan – keep in mind that they will be fluffier if they're only flipped once. Keep the cooked pancakes warm in the oven until all are cooked and then stack, decorate and chow through them as you desire – I'm always shocked at how many pancakes can fit into a little body, and the girls slept really well afterwards.

Bad waxing experience sends woman to hospital
Related Story
BATON ROUGE - A woman who went to get her eyebrows waxed and tinted left the salon with a medical issue and now wants the store to pay for her expenses.
Sharon Bell says she's been going to the same Top Nails location on Florida Blvd. for her nails and eyebrows for years. Saturday, Bell says her appointment was like many others until the hot wax was applied to her eyelid.
"When she put the wax on, it was kind of hot," she said. "When she pulled it off I felt wow, ouch! The skin was gone!"
After it happened, she says the person doing the wax accused her of putting cream on her face which caused the skin's reaction. Having paid for her services upfront she asked for her money back but it was refused.
Soon after, Bell went to Urgent Care to have it looked at and was prescribed a topical cream. A few days later her eyes didn't look any better and continued to swell so she drove to the Baton Rouge General. It was there she learned she suffered a superficial burn or first-degree burn.
Bell called Top Nails to let them know what she learned from the hospital and says she was met with resistance.
Wednesday, 2 On Your Side reached out to Top Nails for its side of the story. Linzy Troung told WBRZ she was given permission to do the wax, even though she refused the service. When Bell gave her permission to move forward she obliged. Bell denies this exchange. Troung also told WBRZ she may have taken Accutane or used another cream that caused her skin to thin, creating the waxing mishap. Bell says she didn't do anything to her skin out of the ordinary that morning and says she does not take Accutane.
Top Nails holds a shop and manager license which permits the business to perform nail services. The Louisiana Board of Cosmetology says in addition to those licenses it needs an aesthetic or cosmetology license to perform waxing. While the person who performed Bell's wax has her own individual cosmetology license, the entire store must have its own. The Board of Cosmetology says Top Nails does not have the proper licensing to be waxing its customers.
Bell has filed an official complaint with the board and says she'll be taking Top Nails to small claims court. Top Nails says if Bell sends her bill they'd be happy to look it over. The Board of Cosmetology says the store will be inspected.

Looking Back
When Louis Fitzgerald refurbished The Laurels, he designed a premises that was modern and functional, but kept the traditional feeling, It had an unorthodox layout of split-level lounges and bars that added to the character of the pub – and it never feels empty even when it's on the quiet side. The main lounge area is warm and spacious and has a magnificent old stone fireplace. It also has a back bar fitting that was imported in from an antique dealer in Chicago. The fitting was originally at home in a famous hotel in Chicago that Al Capone ran his business from. The upper lounge while also keeping the traditional feel is where you can hear some of the best live music in Dublin at the weekends.
The public bar located at the rear of the building is full of the old Clondalkin character with senior barman Kieran Gavin still holding the reigns after 25 years. Here you can enjoy a range of sports on the big screen TV's including horse racing, football and GAA.
From charming, quirky, and traditional Irish Pubs to well renowned whiskey and gin bars in the heart of Dublin and surrounding areas there is something for everyone. The Louis Fitzgerald Group Pubs are famous for their delicious food, friendly staff and charming interior décors!
Mouth Watering Food Served 7 days. Kitchen is open from 11am – 9pm.
We have meal deals every day, hot & cold buffets and finger food, so check out our menus. Great offers too for events like communions and confirmations, Mothers Day etc.
The best part about The Laurels – the people.
Families and friends, locals, and lovers, businessmen and bankrupts – they all come to The Laurels and to have fun.
Lots of places to meet fo couples and groups.

Delicious 😋 5 star Omg have to say I'm always on the prowl for delicious chicken wings and I've found my favourite the laurels chicken wings are amazing. If you have not tried these you are so missing out.. the staff are the friendliest bunch and they have recommended other food on menu which I will be trying... 10 out of 10
Nice find! Visited this bar while staying at the nearby Maldron Newlands Cross Hotel. (10 min walk away) The bar was very nice and traditional in style. The staff are a true asset, professional and friendly. The table service was very efficient and the food ordered was enjoyed by all. Try the Guniness.. you won't be disappointed! Looking forward to visiting again if in the area again.
Excellent establishment Recently visited and was very impressed not only by the quality of food, drink and service but also compliance with COVID guidelines, had a great evening while feeling very safe, will definitely frequent again . easy efficient booking system too
Evening Meal I recently had Evening Meal
I recently had the pleasure of dining here for a meal. It was delicious. I had the wings to start followed by the most tenderest steak that I have enjoyed in a long time. I cannot recommend the laurels more highly than this review.
Paul Cork
Family dinner and watching the match! Enjoyed a great meal (bar menu) and watching the match with kids, wife and mother-in-law. Everyone had good food all washed down with coke, wine and Guinness!

Recommended rust crates for computer graphics
Rust has a relatively young eco system. In my journey of learning rust I found it relatively hard to find an overview of graphics crates that are available. In this post I will outline my findings and what crates I prefer.
In this post I will be discussing some crates for graphics and I will very briefly give an overview of the maths libraries that rust currently offers.
What to use for graphics?
By far the most common rust crates for graphics include:
There is also wrappers for things like
piston2d-graphics. I did not find the time to research any of these so I don't think I could give an accurate opinion about these.
Another disclaimer would be that out of the 4 listed above I've actually only used
vulkano and
Choosing the perfect crate really depends on what you want to get out of a crate. Do you want to learn or write graphics code using very close to the driver API's, or would you rather get things done without having to worry about what backend, api and drivers it is using?
For the latter choice I really recommend using
The description on crates.io for this crate tells us that it's intended for high-performance use cases in rust.
The good thing about gfx is that it implements most of the important graphics APIs. There is already even projects using and supporting it, I won't list any of these because I will definitely forget some. For a comprehensive list please refer to the crates.io page.
However, if you are like me and want to either learn or have full control over graphics you should probably use a crate that wraps that specific API of your choice.
I'm not sure what the state of crates for DirectX is like as I've mainly focused on trying to use
gl and
In previous blog posts I discussed how I create the Game of life on the GPU using the
gl crate. For some reason I thought it was a good idea to write a small wrapper around
gl that would allow me to use it as 'safe' as possible.
Although… at the time I didn't realise I actually am not a good rust programmer (yet) and I suck at designing APIs and like to over complicate stuff.
So in the end I decided to ditch
gl and ended up using
vulkano for the following reasons:
- Vulkano offers safe abstractions to interface with Vulkan
- No FFI and rust to C pointer conversions
- Vulkan > OpenGL (imo)
- No more
- For some reason I had the idea that
unsafeblocks would completely remove borrow checking and other safety features which is not the case. Steve Klabnik does a great job at explaining this in this post
- For some reason I had the idea that
What to use for maths?
For maths I've only come across 2 major crates:
- cgmath:
- A library specifically targeted at computer graphics.
- nalgebra:
- A more heavy weight library. It seems to be more maintained than cgmath.
Both of these libraries are perfect for graphics.
The only gotcha for
nalgebra would be that you need to make sure that the matrices and vectors that you bind in uniform buffers have the correct data layout.
For nalgebra refer to a page for computer graphics.
cgmath seems to automatically do what is expected.
I'm still learning rust, using
gl as a crate that just exposes functions to raw OpenGL functions wasn't the greatest thing to start with in my opinion.
Having switched to
vulkano I can say that I'm much happier and actually enjoying writing graphics code that uses this.
As a teaser enjoy my very nicely rendered cube with vulkano:
I'm planning on doing a short usage overview of vulkano which will explain how to do things like buffer creation, images, swapchain and so on. Keep an eye on my twitter or subscribe to this RSS feed.
Thanks for reading all!

How to Prepare for a New Year – Freelance Style
A day before New Year's Eve, I find myself getting some work done. I know it's supposed to be a break, but there are some things I need to finish and some things I need to prepare for. I wouldn't be surprised if there are more than a couple of you who are in the same boat.
And while I do believe that change does not have to happen only when a new year comes in, it does have a nice symbolic ring to it. So, as I sit here going through a partially mental, partially written out list, I thought it might do good to share some thoughts with you. It would also be great to hear how you prepare for new beginnings!
Good riddance
Out with the old, in with the new – or so they say. To be honest, though, there isn't much I would throw away.
Delete or archive files
Maybe I am a hoarder that way, but one thing that is important for me to do is to delete or archive files that I have accumulated in 2012.
For sure, you also have massive amounts of files that you probably would not be needing in the next year. What do you do with them? I prefer to be quick and painless about it: simply delete those I know I would never take a look at again and store the rest in an external hard drive.
Forget failures
I've had my share of failures in the past year, both personally and professionally. While totally forgetting these events is impossible, being able to let go of their crippling effects and facing the new year with a spring in my step is at the top of my list. Being a realist, I know that this is probably not an overnight thing, but the intention is there.
New habits, new tools
I once read somewhere that when you let go of something, you open yourself up to new things. Staying on the practical side of things, I think that this section is mainly all about tools that can help me improve my workflow. I've been looking at some tools that will – hopefully – help me create new, better habits. Here is what I have so far.
Asana is a task management platform for teams, and while I usually work alone, I do collaborate on some projects with other people. Asana is perfect for keeping tabs on each other, what we're doing, and how the project is going along. It also is a great reminder/to-do tool.
I have been using Buffer for almost a year, but not as regularly as I should have. This tool helps in making social sharing more organised as it allows you to space out your tweets and Facebook updates. It also gives you basic stats about the links you share.
My Team Monitor
Just in case you do lead a team, the chances are you do so remotely. Then you might be interested in www.myteammonitor.com, a tool which I have been looking at since it's at the beta stage, and use is free. It allows you to track the productivity of others wherever you may be. It's not exactly the first thing that comes to mind as a freelancer, but I have encountered some freelancers who have been building up their business to the point that they have several sub-contractors who do some work for them.
Small Business Tools: Helpful for Freelancers?
Whether you freelance full-time or you take on projects as a day job allows, you probably think of yourself as a freelancer. That's true, but that's not the only title you qualify for. You're also a small business owner. Thinking in terms of that job title can open up some interesting avenues.
How often have you taken a look at a tool or a resource meant specifically for small business owners and thought, 'Oh, I don't qualify for that'? When I started out as a freelancer, I skipped out on a free class for small business owners on how to handle taxes, because I figured it wouldn't apply to me. After a while, I figured out that the IRS certainly considers me a business owner and that class probably would have saved me a lot of worry. I've been kicking myself ever since.
Making Use of Small Business Tools
I use a lot of software and other tools that were created with small businesses in mind. I may not use it in exactly the way it was intended — I use a client relationship management tool built for business owners to keep track of my sources and contacts who I rely on to help with articles. I do use it to keep track of my clients as well, but it lets me search for individuals based on name, job title, business or even tags I've added myself. That seems like a great way to manage sources to me.
The same goes for the software I use to keep my books, send invoices and handle every other part of my freelance business. It's worthwhile to seek out tools created for small businesses, rather than just for freelancers. There are tools out there for freelancers, of course, but there aren't as many of them and some just don't have that many features. I even know of one invoicing tool that offers separate versions for freelancers and small business owners: the freelance version doesn't let you add more than a handful of clients and simply doesn't streamline the invoicing process the way the small business version does.
There seems to be a certain assumption on the part of software developers that freelancers don't need tools that make our lives easier, that we never have more than five clients at a time and we have no interest in reducing the time spent on administrative tasks so we can get back to writing. I've never found those assumptions to be true, but I have found small business tools to be very useful to my freelance business.

When I first saw Lynn (before ROTD was released), I thought she was one of the coolest-looking character designs from the roster. She has some traditional monk / kung-fu inspirations... with a modern schoolgirl twist. A nice balance for a fighting game character design.
She's sort of like
a female Lee Recca... Rule 63 worked back then too. Moveset-wise, Lynn has a pretty simple style like the rest of the cast, but some solid martial arts attacks - possibly some of the best in the game. I think she looks really cute trying to be so serious... if only they fleshed out that part of her design. Lynn is simple and to the point...
and easily one
of my favorite designs to come out of ROTD. It almost seems like she
should've / could've been a "staple" to the Double Dragon franchise... that series forever lacked a strong female fighter as a main character. She could've been the Chun
Li of Double Dragon! Maybe the devs will listen to me and bring her back. It's happened before.

How to Get ALL Free Items in Luobu Mystery Box Hunt
Find mystery boxes to exchange for FREE avatar items!August 19th, 2021
The Luobu Mystery Box Hunt event is a virtual carnival with 20 Mystery Boxes hidden throughout the area. In the center is a Gift Exchange where you can exchange your Mystery Boxes for FREE avatar item bundles. However, completing this task will require collaboration with friends. Read on to find out how!
Game Link: Roblox Luobu Mystery Box Hunt

When you get a new one you'll automatically switch to it, but you can always select the red Put Back button from inside the Box Bag menu if you and select another one instead.
The ones that have a magnefying glass icon are ones you can click on to see the location. The ones with the lock icon will be impossible to find, even if you already know the location, until a friend shares that location with you in the game.
As you traverse the map, if you ever want to quickly make your way back to the Gift Exchange area, simply select green Back button on the right side of your screen.
How to Find Mystery Boxes
Once a Mystery Box location has been unlocked, you'll be able to see it on the map as a sort of glowing, sparkly purple/pink object.

Do the following to share Mystery Box locations with friends:
- Select the yellow Box Bag button on the right side of the screen.
- Click on any item that does NOT have a lock icon on it.
- Select Share Box Info to Friends
- If your friend does not yet have that Mystery Box location, there will be a green Send button next to there name. Select it to share the location. (If the player already has that location then it will say "Held" next to their name.)
Get Friends to Share with You
In order to unlock all Mystery Box locations you will need to get others to follow the above steps for you for each location you don't yet have. Everyone is there for the same reason so even if you don't know anyone on the server it shouldn't be hard to get some of them to be your friend and share the locations they have in exchange for the locations you have.
How to Get the Head Blooming Hat
In order to get the Head Blooming hat you'll have to find at least 12 out of the 20 Mystery Boxes.

Once you have them you can head to the 20 Box Exchange booth in the Gift Exchange area. When you do, you'll receive a badge along with the items in your inventory.
Note: You can only get ONE of these bundles so you will have to choose. Choose wisely because once you've made your decision you will not be able to change it.

These raw Cinnamon Rolls are my fun take on a breakfast classic. Soft, moist, sticky and sweet, my favorite cinnamon rolls. These amazing buns have an irresistible flavor and smell and they are perfect for breakfast with a cup of tea….
These raw Cinnamon Rolls are my fun take on a breakfast classic. Soft, moist, sticky and sweet, my favorite cinnamon rolls. These amazing buns have an irresistible flavor and smell and they are perfect for breakfast with a cup of tea….
Eating a healthy breakfast is one of the most important things in maintaining a healthy balanced diet. A good balanced breakfast containing carbohydrates, proteins, fiber and fats (the healthy kind of course) and always yummy! The nutrients and vitamins gained from the food what you eat for breakfast really makes a difference in your day. We must have heard that old saying – breakfast it is the most important meal of the day for a reason. Actually, there are several. Breakfast serves as a kick start your metabolism and provide your body with a healthy proportion of the energy it needs….
Homemade energy bars are popping up all over the internet. They are incredibly easy to make with a very few ingredients. When I say easy, I mean easy! These couldn't be more simple. Basically you throw all the ingredients in a food processor or blender and pulse for a bit but not too long, you don't want the mixture completely smooth. Form into a rectangular log in a baking pan and then cut into bars. Homemade energy bar takes about 5 minutes, few ingredients and an imagination to make. The longest part is waiting for them to set in the fridge.
They're incredibly delicious and filled with all sorts of whole food, no added sugar, no artificial ingredients, just pure plant based nutrient powered goodness to get your morning started. Packed with whole grains, healthy fats and protein, these chewy apple breakfast cookies are perfect for a snack, dessert or lunch box treat. Don't be surprised by how quickly these go!
These oatmeal cookies are a great way to not only sneak in both soluble and insoluble fiber into your diet. Oats provide plenty of fiber, notably beta-glucan, a soluble fiber that has been shown to reduce overall cholesterol, decrease the risk of heart disease, and aid in proper digestion. Raisins are another source of fiber, while walnuts boost the beneficial healthy fats in these cookies. The bananas hold the cookies together to create the perfect texture, while cinnamon and orange juice gives a heavenly flavor, and raisins and bananas adds in the slightest hint of sweetness. I love adding dried fruits into cookies/cakes because they're a great way to naturally sweeten any recipe without adding heaps of extra sugar, especially refined sugar….
There's nothing like apple dessert in the fall! This right here, this is what fall about.
Baked apple is the simplest desserts, but the addition of spice and the dry fruits gives these apples a wonderful delicate taste.
They make such a delicious desserts that are great any day of the week, or even for a special occasion. It's simple, fragrant, and mighty tasty, just like any apple dessert should be. Comfort food, easy to make, sweet and satisfying. It's a perfect, warm dessert for a cool autumn day….
I was experimenting yesterday with a raw flat bread without any nuts, turned out great! This nutritious bread is made from loads of goodness, nut and oil-free dehydrated zucchini flat bread topped with mashed avocado and sesame seeds. Simplicity ♥
Simple and tasty bread replacement. Delicious alone or with toppings. It's easy and quick to make, however the soaking and dehydrating time is a little lengthy. …
My Experiment in Homemade Raw Vegan Bread – It's easier than you think!
It's relatively inexpensive (one loaf of healthy bread at my local grocery store easily costs the same as my raw bread. Also, compared to most crafty or foodie hobbies, bread "baking" is a pretty darn cheap way to express your creativity), healthy, easy to customize and so delicious. For real! You have to try this 😉
I love fresh vegan Tomato Bruschetta so much! Bruschetta is delicious and quite healthy as far as appetizers go. However, I like good-for-you sorts of things.
There's nothing better than eating fresh, homemade Bruschetta. So here I am with my Homamade Super Healthy Bread Goodness. These cute slices are simply delightful. Especially with fresh tomatoes. Oh and don't forget a little fresh basil! – Enjoy…
This is what pure bliss looks like ( aka my morning dose of banana )
Sometimes a coffee alone isn't enough … and the ice cream obsession continues. Carvings are real, right now. How cool is that you can make ice cream out of just bananas and how endless the combinations of favors and toppings are ……
The word of healthy food is enormous! Who needs processed sugar loaded cookies, lollies …. anything when you can enjoy them the Healthiest Way. Raw Vegan Banana Cinnamon Rolls – my first time ever having them and Wow what I've been missing out! They're such a sweet and delicious breakfast or afternoon pick me up. It was seriously good. Like crazy good;)
The only ingredients are bananas, mulberries, raisins, cinnamon and water.
Sounds like perfect and easy, it's too yummy to miss isn't it?…
Happy Thursday to all of happy people out there! No way I could stay at home to studying on a day like this ☼ Nope! Couldn't do it … I'm just excited to relax and spend some time with my man, so we are heading out to have an outdoor adventure today 👣 But first, going to enjoy this giant bowl of Maca Banana Ice Cream (made from 3 ripe/frozen banana, 1 heaping tsp maca powder and a splash of almond milk) I need power for breakfast. Topped with chunks of raw vegan Peanut Butter Banana Bites (I made the other day) and cacao nibs. Delicious combo ……

How Love Works: It's OK That We Parent Differently

Did you like reading this story? Click the heart to show your love.
I had been desperately attempting to soothe our newborn son for what seemed like hours. Nothing had worked: diaper change, feeding, nap, bouncy seat, car ride, Teletubbies, lullaby music.
As his cries grew louder, anxiety rippled through me:
Why can't I do this? I'm his mother.
I had believed that I had all the answers and all the skills needed to be the Best.Mother.Ever. And whatever I lacked, I could get from reading one of the dozen parenting books stacked on my nightstand. I just hadn't hit on the right approach to quiet the baby…yet.
I handed our son to my husband with hesitation. He was an attentive, helpful and involved dad. But…
He didn't read that book about sleep routines.
He's not swaddling him like they told us to in the parenting class.
He's holding the baby differently than I do. Is that safe?
He's just winging it!
My husband was the picture of serenity. I wondered if he was deaf – how could he be that calm amidst the screaming? He gently cradled our son against his shoulder and placed his other hand on his back. He sauntered around the house, softly bouncing the swaddled package as he walked.
Within minutes, our son was sleeping peacefully. And my husband became the go-to guy at naptime and bedtime.
"He's picking up on your frustration and stress. You can't let him feel that," he'd say.
While I consulted books and read product reviews of every baby item we purchased, my husband relied on intuition and careful observation. He the first to figure out that our son's formula was causing him tummy problems and that he liked the swing going left to right better than forward and back. He analyzed the shapes of different baby bottles and knew why some worked well and others didn't.
Two children and eleven years later, our approaches haven't changed much. We parent differently. I still try to manage my kids like a corporate project. I read parenting books and wonder whether I'm too much of a helicopter mom or an over-the-top free range parent. I fret that neither is interested in playing team sports and ask them about every detail of their days.
My husband has yet to read a parenting book – he finds most answers by listening, trusting his intuition and observing our kids, just like he did back then. He doesn't worry about helicoptering or free-ranging – it depends on the situation. He doesn't pepper them with "how is your day" questions – he knows when to let them do the talking. He points out that neither of us played a lot of team sports and hey, we both turned out okay.
And our kids are turning out okay, too. Not in spite of my husband's different approach, but because of it.
So every time I find myself trying to get him to parent my way, I think back to those early weeks of parenting – when I discovered that my husband shows his love for our children differently than I do – and that's exactly the way it should be. It's how love works.
What makes a dad's love so powerful? This Father's Day, Johnson & Johnson is exploring the unique impact fathers have on their children's health and wellbeing as part of #howloveworks. #howloveworks is a series of content and conversation takes on these questions and more, as we explore the amazing power of love and care.

3.2.1 Development, pre-sale and manufacturing of the Product "Heatle":
The Customer is aware of the fact that the Product "Heatle" is still in the development phase, i.e. it is being further developed by BBN and will only be manufactured when and if an Order has been placed by the Customer. The Products are nonetheless described and presented as accurately as possible by BBN. Due to the continued development work, the individual manufacturing process which has yet to occur, but also e.g. due to a change in the legal or regulatory preconditions and requirements, deviations of the Product, e.g. in terms of colour, size or composition may occur.
As a consequence, there will be a pre-sale by BBN. This means that BBN takes Orders from the Customers and accepts them within the framework of the provisions of these Terms and Conditions; the Customer purchases and pays for the Product "Heatle" in advance directly after the purchase.

BBN is therefore entitled to rescind the contract with the Customer at any time regardless of the reason, e.g. if the scientific or economic circumstances of development or manufacturing develop unfavourably for the Product or BBN, unexpectedly high or increased manufacturing costs arise or other events materialise, which make a continued development, manufacturing, sale or delivery, or pursuit of the Product "Heatle" overall seem unreasonable from BBN's perspective.
3.2.4 In the event of revocation or rescission in accordance with the provisions set out above, be it by the Customer or BBN, BBN will ensure that the Customer will be refunded all amounts paid as soon as possible, however, within one (1) month at the latest.

To the extent that the Customer is a consumer (section 13 BGB), he shall raise a complaint about delivered Products with obvious transport damages to the freight forwarder directly and notify BBN thereof.

9.3.2 BBN will also be liable for any negligent breach of a material contractual obligation.

Article 11 - Force Majeure
11.1. Force Majeure means the occurrence of an event or circumstance which impedes a Party from fulfilling one or several obligations under the contract ("Obstacle") if and insofar as the Party affected by the Obstacle proves that (i) the Obstacle is beyond its reasonable sphere of control; and (ii) it was not reasonably foreseeable at the time the contract was entered into; and (iii) the effects of the Obstacle could not reasonably have been prevented or overcome by the affected Party.
11.2 Until proven otherwise, the following events affecting a Party are deemed to fulfil the prerequisites stipulated under article 11.1: (i) war (declared or undeclared), hostilities, attack, acts of foreign enemies, extensive military mobilisation; (ii) civil war, riot, rebellion, revolution, military or other seizure of power, uprising, acts of terrorism, sabotage or piracy; (iii) currency and trade restrictions, embargo, sanctions; (iv) lawful or unlawful official acts, compliance with laws or governmental orders, expropriation, seizure of works, requisition, nationalisation; (v) plague, pandemics, epidemics, natural disasters or extreme natural phenomenon; (vi) explosion, fire, destruction of equipment; long-lasting failure of transportation, telecommunications, information systems or power; (vii) general labour unrest such as boycotts, strikes and lockouts, slowdowns, occupation of factories and buildings.

If the notification is not made without undue delay, such release will be effective from the time when the notification is received by the other Party. If the effect of the asserted Obstacle or event is temporary, the consequences presented directly above will only apply for as long as the asserted Obstacle prevents the performance of the contract by the affected Party. If the duration of the asserted Obstacle has the effect that the contracting parties are to a considerable extent deprived of what they legitimately could have expected by virtue of the contract, each Party will be entitled to terminate the contract by giving notice to the other Party within a reasonable period of time. Unless expressly agreed otherwise, the Parties expressly agree that the contract may be terminated by either Party if the Obstacle persists for more than 120 days.
Article 12 – OTHER PROVISIONS
12.1. These Terms and Conditions are provided to Customers in German and English. Both language versions are effective. Should there be a conflict between both versions, the German version shall prevail.
12.2 Should one or more of the provisions set out above be or become ineffective, the effectiveness of the remaining provisions will not be affected thereby. The ineffective provision will be replaced by an effective provision which conforms as closely as possible with the economic purpose of the ineffective provision. Section 139 BGB does not apply.

12.4 The place of jurisdiction for all disputes under or in connection with these Terms and Conditions is Berlin, Germany.
12.5 No out-of-court dispute resolution before a consumer arbitration board. BBN is neither willing nor obliged to participate in any dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board.

BBN does not submit itself to this procedure.

Fixe Hardware Stainless Steel 12mm Triplex 3pc Bolt
Triplex is the highest quality climbing bolt available, using the same expansion principal as the Rawl 5-Piece bolt.
Triplex takes anchoring a step further by eliminating the nose cone with a solid stud system. This design allows for easy removal for replacement and consists of only three parts. The sleeves expand by tightening the nut, which draws the tapered stud from the hole. This system places the threads outside of the rock, eliminating hidden thread and nose cone corrosion. The stainless steel model is suited for the most corrosive limestone. Can be easily inspected for corrosion by quickly removing the entire unit, and can be used in soft and pocketed rock. Also can be used to equip a glue-in anchor using the same hole size for both bolts. Triplex bolts are reusable!

2021 Ford Bronco: Worth the Wait
Our team at Grogan Ford waited and held our collective breath to see the 2021 Ford Broncos. We weren't disappointed! Reimagined and redesigned to suit a more modern audience, the 2021 Ford Bronco kept the unmistakable Bronco silhouette and added all you need to get wherever you want to go and back again.
With capabilities you'd expect from a Bronco, features that add fun, and safety innovations that make a real difference, there's nothing like settling in behind the wheel and hitting the open road.
If you're interested in a Bronco, that means you long for open spaces and unbridled freedom. We will help you push your boundaries and test your limits.
Available options on all Bronco models include the largest available tires in its class, measuring 35 inches with beadlock-capable wheels to allow extra traction and achieve Best-in-Class ground clearance with a max 11.6-inches on the two-door and 11.5-inches on the 4-door.
Traverse the open trail without fear. Available steel bash plates provide underbody protection against even the most challenging off-road terrain. With the available Best-In-Class water fording capability of 33.5 inches, you can ford every stream, creek, and puddle that stands in your way.
Standard on all Bronco models, our G.O.A.T. (Goes Over Any type of Terrain) Modes tailor your driving experience to the trail ahead. Choose from Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery, Mud/Ruts, Sand, Rock Crawl, and Baja to optimize your handling and steering on the road or off.
The Off-Road Hero Switch Pack is conveniently located on the dashboard and makes it easy to stay in control of your adventure. The push of a button allows you to engage up to six standard and available features like sway bar disconnect, front and rear differential lock, Trail Turn Assist, electronic stability control, and hazard lights.
No matter which Bronco you choose, you'll always have the opportunity to experience an open-air adventure whenever you want one. With a snap, push, and lift away, the Removable Roof can easily be manipulated by one person without tools. Class-exclusive frameless doors are lightweight and easy to remove, too. So, strap yourself in and get as close to the outdoors as you can stand!
The 4-door Bronco Sport's seating options are primed for adventure. If you need a little more space, utilize the 60/40 rear-seat split to maximize your cargo space. Ask your sales team member about marine-grade vinyl seating choices that make washing out and starting over no big deal.
Utilize the FordPass Performance App with off-road navigation to your advantage. Choose from a professionally curated list of class-exclusive electronic trail content from professional trail guide providers like Trails Off-Road and FunTreks. Record video and vehicle telemetry to your smartphone and then playback your video to see customized overlays of vehicle telemetry data like GPS, speed, rpm, pitch, and yaw.
Your safety is always our priority. But when you're out on the road less traveled or the highway, you need the security that driver-assist technologies bring. Our Ford Co-Pilot360 technologies provide a suite of innovative safety technologies unlike any others out on the road today.
Ask your sales team member to walk you through the safety features available on the Bronco of your choosing. Some safety features include:
Blind Spot Information System. When a vehicle enters your blind spot, we alert you to its presence by illuminating a small light in the corresponding side-view mirror. As a result, you keep your eyes on the road ahead – where they belong.
Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking. Traffic takes unexpected slowdowns and stops. Our system constantly scans the road ahead so that you're alerted with enough time to slow down or stop, too.
Adaptive Cruise Control. Select your preferred cruising speed and the distance you'd like to keep between your vehicle and the traffic ahead. Then, let us maintain both. It's one less thing you need to concern yourself with, especially on long drives.
Automatic High-Beam Headlamps. These headlamps detect ambient light and adjust your high and low beams accordingly. You'll never blind oncoming traffic and you'll always have the perfect amount of light – no matter how dark the trail may be.
These are only a few of the safety features available to you. Ask your sales team member to walk you through your preferred model's safety features.
About Us
At Grogan Ford, we know how excited our friends and neighbors have been about the arrival of the new 2021 Ford Broncos. With models to match your adventuring spirit, we have something for everyone.
Visit us on Nauvoo Road. Look at all the Bronco models. Play with the features. Think through your options. Take a test drive. Then, let's work together to put a set of keys in your hands and a Bronco in your driveway.
The wait is over. Come check the Bronco out for yourself. You'll be inspired to hit the open trail and get busy exploring!
