Today I was thinking about responsibility piles---everybody has them. We strive to supervise our kids' piles ---to coach them as they learn to manage life's inevitable piles, but also we try keep their piles small enough so that they can experience carefree time……I remember in college, especially during finals, everybody went on and on, comparing their relative piles. Sometimes we'd have to listen to entire monologues about somebody's extensive pile....some were sure that they had the biggest pile of all.
With the adults I know, I sometimes wonder if it isn't more about perception than the actual size of the pile---some people show such grace with manageable piles, others are overloaded with endless piles. Are the sizes of our piles more a function of our personalities than the relative importance of what we do? Are we each destined to live our entire lives with the same sized pile?
Of course, we all experience times with emergency piles. Last week our concerns were for Daniel's hockey coach and his wife. Their son was born prematurely (by C-Section) so that she (the mother) could then have open heart surgery. Whew, now they had a pile! Thankfully all went well. Those emergency piles put all into perspective for awhile, and certainly made the piles of snow that we moved around this week seem relatively insignificant (although still necessary).
Mom snowshoes trails between the buildings.
Even Denali takes her responsibility piles very seriously.
She has the self-appointed job of monitoring the bird feeder.
She has the self-appointed job of monitoring the bird feeder.
Since the leaping and barking from inside the house doesn't scare him away, she does have to get outside and clear the area for the birds.
One day after school this week Daniel and I went skating on our Round Lake rink. The sunset was dazzling as we glided around, and when he stopped to ask me for a hug, the instant was so poignant that it gave me prickles behind my eyes. Sweet moments like that remind me to savor experiences , and not to let the apparent urgency of my piles interfere with the way I want to live.

A 35-year-old policeman from Padua in northern Italy appears to be the perfect host: kind, fun-loving and generous.
Using the social website Couchsurfing.com, he offers his home to travelers for free.
But behind his gentle facade lurks a serial rapist, according to several women who accused him of drugging and sexually assaulting them.
Dino Maglio, the carabiniere who used the alias Leonardo on his Couchsurfing profile, is facing trial in March on charges of raping an Australian woman, who was 16 at the time of the alleged attack and was traveling with her mother and sister, the Guardian reported.
Prosecutors said Maglio has admitted to drugging the minor with a tranquilizer and then having sex with her.
The case has prompted many other women to come out and accuse Maglio of assaulting them after they used the popular website to arrange to stay at his home.
The chief prosecutor is now investigating three more similar cases with Maglio as the suspected rapist, the report said. He also received statements from six other women who made similar allegations.
The statements were collected by journalists at the Investigative Reporting Project Italy (IRPI).
One of the complainants was from Hong Kong, who said she became unconscious for 12 hours after drinking a glass of Maglio's wine.
When she posted a negative review on his Couchsurfing profile, Maglio sent her a threatening message over Facebook and demanded that she remove the review.
She said she ignored the threat and soon began receiving messages from strangers who had had similar experiences with Maglio.
"It took me some days to realize I was sexually abused," another alleged victim from Poland told IRPI. "So I wrote to him on Facebook. I asked him what happened and he admitted we had sex. I felt like a whore. I felt nobody would ever want me again after this."
"He made me think it was my fault, that I wanted it," the Guardian quoted her as saying.
Jennifer Billock, chief executive of Couchsurfing, said the safety of users was a top priority and that the company was constantly "evolving our tools and processes to find and halt abusers of our system".
"We're reminded that these women could have been any of us, our friends or family," she told the newspaper.
She added that members were encouraged to look for verified profiles with multiple positive reference and reviews.
But in the case of Maglio, one alleged victim said he told her that Couchsurfing had removed his earlier profile because it had already so many positive reviews and that he created a new one.

The new Hayward Gallery lets the light in on Gursky's work
After two years of redevelopment the Hayward Gallery's 'Let the Light In' campaign has finally finished, reopening with a retrospective of acclaimed German photographer, Andreas Gursky.
Words by Sam Forsdick
When the Hayward was completed in 1968, Brutalist architecture represented a futuristic vision. To this day, the abrupt lines and asymmetry of the Southbank Centre stands in stark contrast to the neoclassical architecture of Somerset House, which sits just across the Thames. Much like Gursky's work inside, the Hayward Gallery aims to show that modern forms of expression can be just as vital as classical.
Image: Ralph Goertz
After fifty years of being at the forefront of contemporary art, the Hayward was long overdue a makeover. Gursky is famous for making minor edits to improve the overall image he is photographing, whether that be editing out a power plant in his photo of the Rhein, or digitally altering the colours of 99 Cent to make them pop. The thinking behind the Hayward Gallery redesign was the same – small changes and touches which would improve the overall feel of the gallery.
Image: Ralph Goertz
Inside the gallery, the exposed concrete has received a noticeable restoration; the importance of concrete within Brutalist architecture meant that sandblasting was not an option. Instead, the team used a cleaning technique that is normally reserved for statues and artefacts. The result is an almost natural looking material, with the cleaning process revealing grains and knots that - through squinted eyes - could easily be mistaken for wood.
Image: Mark Blower
New, brass banisters guide you up the concrete staircase and into the main gallery, where the majority of the changes have been made. As you move up a level, the gallery becomes brighter; natural light floods in through the Hayward's iconic, glass roof pyramids. Sixty-six pyramid-shaped roof lights have always been a unique aspect of the Hayward's design - however, previously they have not served any functional use. It makes sense, therefore, that the main focus of the redesign was to "Let the Light In".
Image: Morley von Sternberg
As part of the redesign, a solid glass roof was placed across the main gallery, replacing the dropped false ceiling. Meanwhile, reflective coffers designed to help control the light and direct it into the gallery were fixed on top. Finally, the cleaned and repurposed pyramids were moved, one by one, back on to the roof. Now the pyramids – much like Andreas Gursky's photographs – provide a window into the outside world. Visitors are able to view the works in different lighting throughout the day, helping bring new perspectives to the photographs.
Image: Mark Blower
Gursky's early images are displayed in the lower galleries and Heni Project Space, which have been redesigned with a new terrazzo floor and spotlight ceiling. These early images of Gursky's attempt to capture the relationship between man and nature – whether it is a cable car floating on the mountaintop mist, or rows of solar panels that appear to flow over an undulating hillside.
Image: Mark Blower
Previously, Gursky has stated that he wants his images to stop time and stretch it to infinity; the same could be said of the Hayward Gallery redesign. Giving breathing room to the artwork and creating an inviting space, the original feel of the gallery has been retained whilst the updated infrastructure and impressive pyramid skylights mean it will be able to display cutting edge art long into the future.

The immigration laws allow waivers for numerous different grounds of inadmissibility. If you are facing deportation due to one of these grounds, you may be able to apply for a waiver and remain in the United States. It may be possible to file waivers for the following grounds of inadmissibility:
Your ability to request an immigration judge for a waiver depends on which category above immigration is alleging. Many waivers require you to have family members and require you to prove sufficient hardship to these family members. It is highly recommended that you seek the advise of an experienced immigration attorney in order to determine if you require a waiver and whether you are eligible for a waiver. Dorsett Immigration Law has had waivers approved for all of the above listed different categories. Contact us now for your free consultation.

For an introduction to the series, read this.
Today we come to the last line of the Apostles' Creed:
Memorization for the Week
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. The third day he rose from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From there he shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
Thoughts for Discussion with Children
Have you ever wondered why Jesus' disciples (especially Thomas) had such a hard time believing that he had been raised from the dead until they saw him? Part of the reason was because they had no idea that this was how the story was supposed to go. The Jews who lived at that time believed that a resurrection would happen, but they thought it would be a resurrection of all people at the end of the world. At that time, when all the dead were raised, God would judge them and divide between his people and those who were not his people, welcoming his people into his kingdom and sending the unrighteous away from him to eternal punishment. So they were expecting the resurrection of all people at the end of the story. That's why they had trouble taking in the fact that God had raised one person (Jesus) from the dead in the middle of the story.
But our problem is just the opposite. We have no problem believing that God raised one person (Jesus) in the middle of the story. We don't talk as much about the fact that God is going to raise all people at the end of the story. But the Bible does talk about this, and the Creed rightly includes it as a teaching from the Bible. The truth is, we need to think of those two things–the resurrection of Jesus and the resurrection of all people–as being connected.
Paul explains it like this in 1 Corinthians 15: he says that the resurrection of Jesus in the middle of the story is really just the beginning of the resurrection of all of God's people. In other words, the reason we will be raised from the dead to have eternal life is because Jesus has already been raised, and what is true of him is (and will become) true of all who belong to him. What that means for you, if you are a believer in Jesus, is that death is not a big deal anymore. Jesus has already overcome it, and that guarantees that you will too. Your greatest hope is that one day you will be raised from the dead, never to die again (just like Jesus!) and live with him in a new world forever.
Set your hope on that day, not on this world. This world is full of troubles, and nothing from this world will last. If the Apostles' Creed teaches you anything, it teaches you to put all of your hope in Jesus.
Reading for the Week: John 20-21; 1 Corinthians 15; Revelation 21.

I've read about both a necklift and neck liposuction and don't really know the similarities and differences between the two. Could you please explain the two procedures to me?
Neck liposuction is essentially liposuction of the neck and often times the lower portion of the jaw to minimally invasively create an improved neck and jaw line. Neck liposuction works best in cases where excess fat and good skin elasticity and tone are present in the areas underneath the chin and along the jaw line. A necklift procedure is a bit more involved. The necklift requires incisions either underneath the chin, behind the ears, or in many cases, both locations. A necklift procedure is more invasive than neck liposuction and involves the removal of skin. Neck liposuction may tighten the skin of the face and neck, but, no skin is surgically lifted or removed.

A removable EVA sockliner delivers a superb, adaptive fit that can be removed to accommodate a medical orthotic.

GEL Cushioned Midsole The midsole incorporates an Asics GEL unit in the rearfoot, which provides cushioning and shock absorption during the heel strike phase of the gait cycle.

When I first looked at this recipe I had a brief moment of horror. I'm a decent cook and have been around for a while but the first ingredient listed was EVOO. EVOO?? Omg what is that?? I pride myself on selecting simple recipes that include ingredients that most people have on hand in their pantries. But EVOO?? Thank goodness for Google. I didn't have to shame myself and ask somebody. When I typed it in this is what I learned: EVOO means Extra Virgin Olive Oil. If anyone had been within earshot they would have heard my embarrassed laugh as I stood shamefully in my kitchen. On the bright side, I guess it is always good to be humbled, right? In addition, I also learned that Puy lentils are green lentils and that a Dutch oven is a heavy stew pot. So that's your lesson in 'Chef Speak' for the week. Your welcome! 🙂
That being said, this Kale Lentil Soup tastes as good as it looks, maybe even better. I actually used an entire bag of organic kale instead of 1 ½ cups (from Trader Joe's of course) and added 3 garlic chicken sausage links (also from TJs) cut up which is literally out of this world! I love the idea of vegan food but the addition of the chicken sausage makes this more of a meal and it's still a really healthy dish. The combination of curry, cumin, thyme and a few red pepper fakes are so fragrant and flavorful, your kitchen will smell amazing and your taste buds will be singing.
Enjoy this delicious YUM!

Participating Globally
LyondellBasell participates in relevant Responsible Care® programs in the countries in which we operate. Our involvement requires us to assess our management systems and practices; leading to further process improvements and enabling performance benchmarking against industry peers.

The intriguing vocals of their début single "Colour Fade" draw a striking resemblance to Empire Of The Sun's "Walking On A Dream" but the music - backed by lush electric guitar plucks and minimalist drum kicks - also has odd similarities to Canadian Indie giants, Arcade Fire, which oddly enough works really well. The band's second single, "Health" has a very clever but could-be-seen-as-controversial and eerie video to accompany the single; the music of which can be compared to Kasabian's "Fire" with its fiery guitar arrangements and lingering lead vocals over hard-hitting drum patterns.
The band note their influences as "peer pressure apocalypse", which could be interpreted to mean that they give their fans what they want to hear, but in their own unique style seemingly against the norms of what "modern rock" is. The visuals for the band's upcoming single, "All Those Friendly People" which is due out on Monday, March 19 also takes reference from the video for "Health" with the use of the same masks in both videos but this single is a lot more mellow and brighter than "Colour Fade" and "Health" with its lush melodies, guitars and drum patterns and is more serene and calming, conjuring up visions of road trips on a long Summer's day.
Talking about visuals however, the band's most exhilarating visuals have to go to their happiest song till date, "Florida" which has somewhat similar uplifting tones to Bombay Bicycle Club. These singles, "All Those Friendly People" and "Florida" epitomise the very essence of the band and what they stand for - "expansive without being overblown, and all the more thrilling for its restraint". Mention the name The Funeral Suits in a few months time and these are the two songs that fans will think of straight away.
The band are just rounding up their first tour of the UK which has seen stops in over 12 cities including London, Cardiff, Birmingham and Glasgow with a final stop over at King Tut's in Glasgow on Saturday, March 24. Last September, they played at Ireland's biggest music and arts festival, Electric Picnic - which offers eclectic mix of musical artists and an array of fine music, theatre, comedy, holistic health and art - at the Stradbally Hall Estate near their hometown. For this year's Electric Picnic festival (their eighth), The Funeral Suits played alongside headliners Arcade Fire, Pulp, and The Chemical Brothers as well as the likes of Interpol, The Go! Team, Underworld, Foster the People, Lykke Li, and Sinead O' Connor which would have definitely have boosted their portfolio and fanbase.
In May, The Funeral Suits are playing at the renowned Camden Crawl in London, where the best up and coming British artists play alongside music legends every Spring. Recent acts at the Camden Crawl have included Snow Patrol, Biffy Clyro, Crystal Castles and Beach-Boy associated surfer band, the Drums with headliners this year announced to be Death In Vegas, Glasvegas and Alabama 3.

TAUNTON — A Cohannet Street homeowner who says his house has been hit by reckless drivers twice in the past seven years has asked the Taunton City Council to step in on his behalf.
In a letter read aloud to the council Tuesday night, David Meninno of 488 Cohannet St. describes the latest harrowing incident.
"Tuesday (Jan. 16) I was sitting in my living room and saw the car coming towards my house and thought the side of the house was going to collapse," Meninno wrote.
Thankfully, he said, that didn't happen, despite both of the vehicle's air bags having been deployed, which Meninno said indicates the force of the collision.
Meninno in his letter said his house was also damaged by a vehicle in 2011 and that in 2014 a driver lost control and drove across his lawn.
And he said a driver in May 2017 who lost control and drove onto his property had a near-miss with his first-floor air conditioning unit.
Meninno, whose house sits near the intersection of Cohannet and Silver streets, asked the council whether it might be practical for the city to install stop signs to create a four-way stop — as is the case four blocks west where Cohannet and Highland streets intersect.
An enlarged blinking light installed by the city at his intersection within the past two years, he said, has had little effect.
Meninno, in his letter, also said he was informed the driver who struck his house last week apparently had just left the City Hall building on Oak Street after conducting business there, was unfamiliar with the area and was preoccupied with his GPS unit.
City Councilor Estele Borges said she recently spoke to the police department's traffic-safety officer Patrolman Chris Williams about the problem.
"He's already working on it," said Borges, who referred the letter to Williams, as well as the council's committee on police and license and City Engineer Mark Slusarz.
Councilor Donald Cleary said it's unreasonable to assume installing four stop signs will solve the problem — especially since Meninno's letter states that the driver who hit his house last week said he thought he'd just driven through a four-way-stop-sign intersection, as opposed to one with blinking lights.
"It's his fault," Cleary said of the unidentified driver, "and he should be issued a citation. People should learn how to drive and go by the rules. We just can't put four-way stop signs everywhere."
Councilor David Pottier said if last week's driver was paying too close attention to his GPS unit then "he probably was distracted to begin with."
There was another serious daylight crash on the same street last Oct. 31.
That day, according to police and witnesses, an elderly woman heading west on Cohannet lost control of her sedan just after she drove through the four-way stop at Highland and Cohannet streets.
The woman's car sped into and tore apart a 100-foot length of chain-link fence before striking a 37-year-old resident of the house at 807 Cohannet St.
The victim's father and brother said he was picking up tree debris in front of the family house, as result of a severe wind-and-rain storm a day earlier, when the car came barreling toward him.
Despite his attempt to jump out of the way, the victim suffered a compound fracture of the leg and was flown by medical helicopter to Rhode Island Hospital, his father and brother told a Gazette reporter.
The younger brother that morning said drivers who want to avoid Winthrop Street/Route 44 — which runs parallel to the sometimes winding, two-lane, residential street – often use that section of Cohannet Street, because they consider it a shortcut of sorts.
As a result, he said, "It's like a racetrack."

Job binary internal is not needed now, since swift and manila are available (and possibly other storage options in the future) and these are more suitable options for storage.
Job binary internal is a job binary storage option that is kept in Sahara's internal database, this option should not be available anymore since there are better storage options (swift, manila, …).
Besides that, Sahara's internal database should be used only to Sahara's data storage. Allowing job binaries to be stored in Sahara's database isn't only unneeded, but also a possible source of problems, since it increases the size of the database. It also opens a loophole for free storage. It's definitely the wrong tool for the job.
Also, it's important to notice that this change is related to APIv2 and should not break APIv1.
This change proposes to remove job binary internal in favour of other storage options. Planning to deprecate it when APIv2 is stable, in tandem with a deprecation of APIv1. Both APIv1 and JBI will be fully removed together after APIv2 has been stable for long enough.
This change can be divided in the patches below.
Another option for this change would be not remove job binary internal, which could bring future problems to Sahara.
Job binary internal will be removed from the data model. This will require a database migration.
Job binary internal related requests must be removed only in APIv2.
Job binary internal option should not be available through Horizon.

The usually essential attitude of Twitter users towards the political establishment mirrors the method of news and political bloggers to political actors, almost a decade earlier, but the increasing adoption of Twitter as a communication tool by politicians, journalists, and everyday users alike makes a repetition of the polarisation skilled at that time seem unlikely.
The energy of the web, collectively with the new and consistently emerging/merging gizmos with their refined tactics, are affecting and effecting the readership and the shoppers of the media and information, and forming/shaping them into anew and emerging customer and decider of what news and information suits them or not, and in the procedure, they shape the news and data, news disseminatiogathering.

Planning Economics will apply microeconomic theory to issues that markets don't always handle well and so are not usually covered in a standard microeconomics course. Issues for this year include global warming, how you value a national park, the economics and politics of New York City development, how cities form and why people are willing to pay more to live in, say, the Boston Metro area, than they would pay to live in rural North Dakota, and how to evaluate costs and benefits that occur at
This course will examine the archaeological remains of the city of Pompeii and its environs, which were buried by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 C.E. The preservation of this area allows for an unparalleled opportunity to explore how the ancient Romans really lived and, most importantly, how Roman art and architecture was experienced and understood by its contemporary viewers. Students will be evaluated on their understanding of course content as well as their ability to make close observati
The objectives of the course are as follows: (1) to provide students with a comprehensive overview of major images, artists, and movements in Western art from Prehistory through the Middle Ages; (2) to integrate these images with the broader cultural history of the period; and (3) to develop visual and analytical skills appropriate to further study in Art History. This course is the first half of a year-long survey of Western Art and students are encouraged to continue with Art 232. Students are
This class is an opportunity to explore the possibilities of paint. You can expect to be immersed in certain fundamentals of material and technique including application, color, texture, scale and composition. But mostly you will be encouraged to experiment and have accidents. As Bacon implied, happy accidents can be a great source of strength and a catalyst for evolution in painting. You will find that the best way to create these conditions is to paint a lot. Here's your opportunity to learn
The class will provide the student with a working knowledge of traditional drawing materials and approaches. Additionally the instructor will use a variety of open-ended projects to expand the students' drawing ability (vocabulary) and their ability to solve problems. Hopefully, through the class the student can understand better the role drawing can play in their life.,This syllabus was submitted to the Rhodes College Office of Academic Affairs by the course instructor.
This class is an opportunity to customize your influences. It's a chance to ilk out paths and options but also to experiment with making a body of work that stands on your own ideas (an experiment that helps you step outside of your boundaries is the most valuable one.) You'll have many opportunities for such experiments this semester. I want to see you take risks and dare to make substantive changes in both paintings in progress and in your attitudes, ideas and explorations surrounding the

The wind blows gently,
ruffling my hair.
As I clasp onto a flower,
one whiff just gives me to power
to envision peace and happiness.
My mind wanders
as the aroma tingles my senses,
the smell of pollen grains,
and the fragrance from the flower-
when taken together,
makes me feel much more sober.
My soul takes off
and flies to another world
imaginary, yet divine
unlike this world.
I can hear the melodies of singing birds,
the sound of the gales of wind,
the rustling of the lush green grass
beneath my feet ;
my senses are overwhelmed
by the song of nature.
In this place,
worries, burdens and stress
ceases to exist.
So cast aside your troubles,
step into the meadow,
embrace nature
and cast aside your sorrows…
For happiness and joy
will come naturally
as you stand within nature
with smiles, all jolly.

How was everyone's week? I had a super productive week at work which was really nice. It's always nice to have a list of things you want to get done, and then see positive results from it. I wasn't too happy with the weather this week though. It's been pouring all week long! I've felt so bad for Diesel because we haven't been able to take him to the park and get all of his energy out. We've had to play his favorite inside game: puppy in the middle. Chandler and I sit on the couch and chair and throw a toy back and forth, making Diesel chase it constantly. It wears him out so well which is great!
I'm hoping the weather is nice on Sunday so that I can do my riding lesson, but we'll see! Sometimes I wish I could control the weather. 😂 Today's weekly round up features a ton of great articles, outfits, recipes, and more that I hope you all love. Start scrolling!
I've been looking for new recipes to try since I've started my new workout/food program and I tried this recipe from Ahead Of Thyme this morning. Ya'll. It. Was. So. GOOD! I love every ingredient in it and it was a great and easy way to use up some tomatoes in my fridge + it was within my macros! Win/win!
Read it here: https://www.aheadofthyme.com/2016/02/mediterranean-scrambled-eggs-with-spinach-tomato-and-feta/
Out of all the carb options in the world, potatoes are at the top of my list next to rice and pasta (I mean duh! 😂). Let's be honest here too, french fries are the best way to cook potatoes. #amiright ?! What I love about this recipe is that it's oil free (hello less fat!), and the seasonings and dipping sides sound amazing!
Read it here: https://minimalistbaker.com/cheesy-chili-baked-potato-fries-oil-free/
My favorite fruit has always been strawberries! I once ate so many strawberry popsicles that my face turned red! I laugh about it now, but when it happened I was in middle school and it was of course the worst day of my life. Luckily my dad let me stay home. 😂 As you all know, I'm not really a sweets person, but when I saw these strawberry pie bars from Joy The Baker, my mouth may have watered a little. 😂
Read it here: http://joythebaker.com/2018/05/strawberry-pie-bars/
One of my favorite lunches to prep for the week are taco bowls. It's so easy to season ground turkey, make rice, and wash lettuce on Sunday before the busy week starts. They're also so good and filling too! This recipe from Skinny Taste incorporates cauliflower rice which I still have yet to try. Check out the recipe below!
Read it here: https://www.skinnytaste.com/skillet-taco-cauliflower-rice/
Another strawberry recipe that sounded amazing, was this sparkling strawberry sangria from Simply Recipes. It only takes 50 minutes and looks incredible. Chandler loves sangria, so I'm pretty sure I see this drink in our future! 😊
Read it here: https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/sparkling_strawberry_sangria/
Since summer is just around the corner (or here if you live in Florida haha), it's time to start finding the perfect cool-you-off recipes. Now, we all know that there's nothing better on a warm summer day than some cool, refreshing ice cream or fro-yo. Leite's Culinaria shared this recipe for Mango Frozen Yogurt and it looks divine. I'm definitely going to try this!
Read it here: https://leitesculinaria.com/96523/recipes-mango-frozen-yogurt.html
I tend to stop making soup recipes once it gets warmer because it's just too hot for that. You know what I'm sayin'?! However, this slow cooker tomato basil tortellini soup from Cooking Classy may have changed my mind. I think it was the tortellini that got me. 😂😉 Get the recipe below!

Besides my mom, who else is going to be watching the royal wedding tomorrow morning?! She's pretty excited! I know the world is super excited about it, and I know that Meghan will look absolutely stunning on her big day! Also, if you think Prince Harry is incredibly hot like I do, then here's 30 handsome photos of him. Thank you Cosmopolitan!
P.S. My favorites are 4, 6, 17, 19, all of them. 😂

Raise your hand if you're team Yanny? Now for team Laurel? Luckily, there's no right or wrong answer because both words are actually being said, it's just that each person hears something different. To make it amusing, Questlove from The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon decided to make a remix on the show. It's pretty great if you ask me! 😂
Watch it here: https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/a20744351/questlove-remixes-laurel-or-yanny/
Now for the best news EVER! The Backstreet Boys are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I heard their new song called Don't Go Breaking My Heart this week and I love it. I'm so ready to relive the 90's and go see them when (and yes I said when because I said so lol) they tour again. Click the link below to listen and watch the official music video.

I love a cute pair of overalls. I actually don't own a pair but have always wanted some. Kelly from Diamonds for Dimes shared the cutest pair on her Insta this week, paired with a really cute eyelet top!
See it here: https://www.instagram.com/p/BiNsWnjFw5t/?taken-by=diamondsfordimes
I have found so many different swimsuits in the past two weeks, that my wallet is going to hurt when I finally choose one...or two, or three! Now that I've seen this super cute red suit from Danielle of Shop Dandy, I might as well add this one to my list too!
See it here: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bi7h7zBgpQy/?taken-by=shopdandy
I love prints. Anything with fruit, plaid, gingham, etc. on it is a fave of mine! Holly Boyd shared this adorable bow back gingham dress on her Insta and it's a steal for only $15!!!
See it here: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bi7L9jcFd5n/?taken-by=maketodayahollyday
If you're still looking for the perfect maxi dress for spring, then this one from Adelina of The Charming Olive is the one for you! I just love the shade of blue and polka dot pattern!
See it here: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bi7LHq_lGmc/?taken-by=thecharmingolive
That's all for this week's round up post! I hope you all have a fabulous weekend and to those of you who are in Florida...stay dry! 😂

"Star Wars" superfans may live and breathe their favorite galaxy far far away, but they've got nothing on Neal Scanlan, the designer of all the aliens, droids and creatures scaly and otherwise in the new film, "The Last Jedi," out Dec. 15.
For the Oscar-winning British special effects and makeup artist, it's an enterprise that's taken over his life.
"It's 24/7," Scanlan tells The Post of the five years he's worked on the space-adventure movies. "We haven't stopped since 'Force Awakens,'" which came out in 2015.
"In fact, before we start 'IX,' [the final film in the latest trilogy, due out in 2019], as we call it, we're due to have a short, one-month hiatus, which I have to say I am very much looking forward to, just in order to really energize and, in a sense, find that sort of creative mojo."
'We always try to reference in some way, shape or form, the world around us.'
Scanlan also worked on "Rogue One" (2016) and "Solo" (due in May). For "The Force Awakens," he designed about 100 creatures from scratch, including fan favorite BB-8, R2-D2's cute successor, and Maz Kanata, the diminutive orange bartender voiced and played via motion capture by Lupita Nyong'o. For "The Last Jedi," that number has ballooned to more than 180 new beings, which took 18 months to create.
"It's the most creatures, I think, that's ever been done for any 'Star Wars' film so far," he says.
Regardless of the intimidating to-do list, "Jedi" director Rian Johnson and Scanlan and his team of 120 crewman and 80 puppeteers lovingly crafted each character, many of them actual puppets. It's that meticulousness, Scanlan says, that makes the difference between a character beloved by fans, such as C-3PO or Jabba the Hutt, and a loathed one, like Jar Jar Binks.
"I have always felt that one of the great things about 'Star Wars,' one of the vital ingredients, is that it feels somehow recognizable," Scanlan says. "Although we're in a galaxy far away, there are elements constantly [in] any scene that make you feel that somehow you've seen them before, or you feel comfortable with them. We always use that as our kind of mantra."
"We always try to reference in some way, shape or form, the world around us," he says of creatures like the porgs or crystal foxes that audiences will recognize from their similarity to real-life animals.
What makes a "Star Wars" character iconic, Scanlan says, is its striking look. "They have a very strong silhouette. Anyone can draw BB-8 now, and that shape is instantly recognizable."
In fact, that's how J.J. Abrams first conceived the little round droid.
"J.J. sort of designed the initial sketch of BB-8 on a restaurant napkin," Scanlan says. "And I have to say the first moment I saw it, I did marvel at the simplicity and brilliance of it. It's just incredible. Like all great design, it just gets it in the moment."
Here, Scanlan tells The Post about some of the new characters they'll meet in "The Last Jedi."
The Porgs
In 2015's "The Force Awakens," Rey (Daisy Ridley) landed on the watery, craggy planet Ahch-to, where Luke Skywalker had been hiding out. That world was filmed on Skellig Michael Island in Ireland.
"Rian had visited [the island] in Ireland and, at certain times of year, puffins reside there," Scanlan says of the director. "In fact, it's a sanctuary, in which puffins are protected. And I think they were a great inspiration to him because they are quite mischievous. There's something very cute about them."
Johnson directed Scanlan to combine a puffin with a seal and a pug dog, and thus the porg was born.
"I honestly don't think I would be too surprised to find one nestling on the branch of a tree at the end of my garden one day," Scanlan says.
Unlike the George Lucas prequel series, which was dominated by CGI, these new sequels are filled with "practical" puppets, what Scanlan calls a physical prop. Computer animation is still used, but only to achieve what puppets can't.
"There are many, many practical porgs in the film," says Scanlan, "and Rian wrote some really kind of clever sequences, which allowed us to approach them from an effects perspective and let us say, 'We can create this little puppeteered moment.'"
How do you follow an act like the adorable BB-8 droid? Give him an evil doppelgänger.
"When we had a look at how to perform BB-8 with J.J. initially, we, dare I say, used the '[pull the] heartstrings' approach, with the slight cocks of the head and the cheeky ways of using body language to convey his emotions," Scanlan says of the sweet soccer ball-like robot.
"So when Rian said there was the idea of an evil counterpart, it really just sort of was the same thing," he says. "He's much more cold, he's less emotional.
"There's something lovely and cute about a soft-domed head that BB-8 has. It's almost like a baby, whereas a more conical head is much more military, much less engaging," Scanlan says of the new bad bot. "The same with the grills, you know, the simplification of a very strong geometric grill and the technology sitting behind [them] … is much more threatening than BB-8 as well.
"There's a lot of threat and a lot of badness in this droid."
'Stars' are born
For 40 years "Star Wars" films have been unleashing memorable creatures on audiences around the world — some more popular than others.
Yoda the Vampire Slayer? George Lucas almost named the little green guy Buffy, according to StarWars.com. But Leigh Brackett, who wrote the screenplay of "The Empire Strikes Back" changed the character's original name to Minch Yoda, which was later shortened.
Luke Skywalker's trusty steed in 1980's "Empire Strikes Back," the tauntaun, was nearly going to be a puppet with as many as three actors inside it, according to StarWars.com. But instead, designer Phil Tippett employed stop-motion technology, the same frame-by-frame style of animation used in children's movies like "Wallace and Gromit." It marked the first major movie to employ stop-motion techniques since "King Kong" in 1933.
They may look like fluffy teddy bears, but the Ewoks from 1983's "Return of the Jedi" were loosely based on the Viet Cong, George Lucas revealed in a making-of featurette on a 2004 DVD.
Jar Jar Binks
Jar Jar Binks was intended to be the new comic relief of the "Star Wars" universe when he made his debut in "The Phantom Menace" in 1999. But the Gungan quickly became the most hated character in the series' history. The backlash actually upset the character's voice actor, Ahmed Best, who said in a Reddit interview, "You put your heart and soul into something groundbreaking for two years and it gets slammed, that hurts."

If you would like to be as successful at search engine optimization as possible, it is essential to master a few basic yet important SEO principles. By remembering these things this year and into the future, you can help ensure that your site does as well on the search engine rankings as possible. This can help you achieve your goals and bring in more Web traffic than you can probably even imagine.
Don't Spam
A long time ago, people were able to succeed in the search engine rankings while filling the Internet with spam. Fortunately, this is no longer the case, so you have to be careful not to post spam anywhere on the Internet if you want your site to be successful. Along with making sure that the content on your site isn't considered to be spam, you should also be careful not to post your link on any spam sites.
Use Keywords the Right Way
Keywords are obviously essential when it comes to search engine optimization, but you have to use them the right way. First of all, you need to choose the correct keywords to use; you can do so by using a keyword research tool and looking for niche-related keywords that are as popular as possible but that don't have tons of competition out there. Then, you have to use the keywords in your content, but you shouldn't use the keywords too many times; in most cases, sprinkling them throughout your average article two or three times should be sufficient. Otherwise, the search engine spiders will think that you are spamming the World Wide Web with keyword-laden garbage, and your site could be penalized.
Follow Good Backlink Practices
If you know a little bit about SEO, you probably already know just how important backlinks can be when it comes to making your website rank. You can't just post links to your site all over the Internet, however; instead, you need to follow a few important SEO principles when creating them. First of all, you have to make sure that the content that you are sharing on the Internet is of a high quality; otherwise, the search engine spiders could penalize you for it. Instead, only share content that you would actually post on your own blog, and use keywords wisely. Also, think about where you will be building your backlinks. If you build them on the wrong sites, your site could be penalized as well. Instead of posting links wherever you can, look for respected websites with high search engine rankings of their own. By posting backlinks this way, you can boost your rankings significantly and bring in a lot of natural traffic as well.
Learning all of the ins and outs of search engine optimization isn't necessarily easy, but keeping these basic and important principles in mind can help you get started the right way. You can also consider hiring an SEO expert to help you with social media, paid advertising, improvements on search engines, basic strategy and all of your SEO-related needs .
