Amazon is the world's largest online retailer, with over $100 billion in annual revenues. It's also a popular destination for holiday sales around the globe. In 2015, for example, Amazon's sales were 43% higher in October, November and December than in the previous 3 months.
This growth during Q4 is impressive, and it's evidence of the importance of holiday sales for their business. But our data shows that the Christmas period has an even bigger impact on small and medium online stores.
At Compass we analyzed over $13 B+ USD in Gross Merchandise Volume, from thousands of small, medium and large client online stores. According to our findings (see graph below), small online retailers grew by 55% in sales from Q3 to Q4 in 2015.
That's 28% higher than Amazon's growth rate:
This confirms a feeling we already had from talking to our customers. For many businesses, especially those in their first year of operations, the holiday season (including Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Christmas) is a golden opportunity to gain traction.
Most importantly, our research shows that the holiday season is also opportunity to convert email subscribers into customers and, hopefully, build a loyal client base that will help them grow in the coming year. That's because traffic coming from emails tends to grow more than 400% during this period.
Forecast your Holiday Sales growth rate for this season
Of course, your growth rate during the holiday season will depend on the size of your business, industry and previous sales numbers (Make sure to be prepared with ecommerce Fraud Protection for the Holidays).
At Compass, we take all these factors in consideration to forecast your possible future growth. To forecast your growth for this holiday season and the coming year, all you need to do is sign up. It's free and it takes 2 minutes.

Hi all, I don't even know where to start. This weekend Planned Perfection had 3 weddings. I'll start this post with Friday's Wedding, Mindy and Ryan. We started this fun filled weekend on Thursday evening with rehearsal at the Willow Valley Chapel. ~
On Friday afternoon Kelly and I arrived to do some pre-ceremony set up. We talked things over with the sound tech, D.J. who was great, confirmed the flow with Rev. JoAnn Glasse who is ALWAYS a pleasure to work with, and got to chat with our good friend Brad Carlson who also does a fantastic job at videography. We awaited the bridal party's arrival and got right down to business.
The ceremony was beautiful and went very smoothly. It was followed by a bubble exit (which is one of three for the weekend!) and then off the guests went to The Eden Resort for the reception. At this point in time I had to leave for a rehearsal for Saturday's Wedding and Kelly took things over.
Kelly has some good shots of the yummy cake Bella Manse provided and some reception details that included Monkeys :) I will provide when I receive them.
This was the first wedding I got to work with Jamie and Andrew from Epic Photography . Not only were they so friendly, but they were actually life savors. Mindy and Ryan came to me a few weeks before there wedding saying that they didn't think their photographer would show and were wondering if there was anyone I could recommend that might be available and within their budget only weeks before there event. I contacted Jamie and she was available!!! Wahoo! I will surely let you know when some pro pics are available for your viewing pleasure. Not only was this the first time that I got to work with them, but I was lucky enough to be working with them the very next day for Saturday's wedding .
Thank you to all Vendors who made this wedding a success! ~

I had a successful show at the OffCenter Grill at the Yorktowne Hotel. Rick Cunningham and the staff were lovely to work with. Our Happy Hour/ Artist demoswere lively and paintings were sold. We were also treated to a delicious dinner that included super yummy desserts. Thank You!
I made a short trek to Hilton Head to relax and spend time with my parents before coming back to a solid few months of portrait commissions. Check my instagram Luv2drw for my beach photos.
After a few years off, submissions were sent to the Art of the State competition. This is the first time I did three different categories, drawing, painting and craft with a silver piece. Fingers crossed!

You can ask your GP if they think First Step is right for you. If they agree they will refer you to us by sending a completed referral form. Once we have received this form, you will need to make contact to arrange an appointment. If we do not receive a referral form from your GP you will need to complete the online questionnaire or request that a questionnaire be posted out to you. Going through your GP usually leads to a smoother service because this means that they can decide what help will be most useful and they can also share important information with us in the referral letter ahead of the assessment.
We will then send you a pack of brief questionnaires to help us understand your problems and collect the information we need when we speak to you. One of our practitioners will discuss your problems with you and decide with you what kind of help might be useful.
This link takes you to a short form that will take between 5 and 10 minutes to complete. It will ask about your problems and what you would hope to be different, this helps us to direct you to the most helpful type of treatment.
After you complete the form, you will be asked to complete a 'captcha' (internet security measure) to ensure that the referral is from a real person. Once the form is submitted, it will be reviewed by a First Step clinician. After the form has been submitted online please allow 3 working days then ring 0300 123 9122 during normal working hours to book a telephone assessment appointment. Feel free to ask a friend or family member to help you complete the form if you think this might be useful. If you are struggling to complete the form then please speak to your GP and they can also refer you directly.
If you are unable to access the form online and want to refer yourself, you can ring the First Step Hub (0300 123 9122 during normal working hours) and ask for a paper self-referral form to be sent to you in the post. If you find completing forms difficult then we would encourage you ask for help from friends, family or GP staff.

How's Our Chrysler Pacifica's Interior Holding Up After 9 Months?
CARS.COM — From food spills to tracked-in dirt and mud, kids can be brutal on a minivan's interior. After seeing what my own three young kids have done to my family's minivan (Hint: It isn't pretty), I was curious to see how our long-term 2017 Chrysler Pacifica's cabin had held up after nine months of ownership.
Related: Our 2017 Chrysler Pacifica: Still a Family Road-Trip Champ
Get 2017 Chrysler Pacifica DetailsFind a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Near You
Our Pacifica doesn't see small sticky fingers day in and day out, but Cars.com staff members have put it through the paces of family life with multiple road trips and normal daily driving.
Our 2017 Pacifica is a Touring-L Plus trim level with leather upholstery. It's typically easier to clean spills on leather than it is cloth coverings, but I was concerned how well some of the other interior trim would fare. While the seats and floor carpeting are black, much of the plastic trim is light gray — even the scuff plates at the doors. The trim looked like it was just begging for a muddy boot to step on it.
There've been times that the scuff plates have been a bit dirty, but I've been impressed by how well they've held up — and clean up — overall. The one for the high-traffic curbside sliding side door shows a bit more wear than the other side, but the driver's door plate has just light wear with more than 12,000 miles on the van. The cargo-area walls are covered in the same gray plastic, and even though they've accumulated some marks near the cargo floor, they're surprisingly unblemished overall.
The black carpet doesn't hide some types of grime well, such as beach sand, but if you have young kids, it's still the right color to get; it'll hide most tracked-in stains, whether from dirty winter slush or springtime mud.
It's hard to muster the energy to clean your car when you have kids that seem dead-set on messing it up, but if you make the effort in the Pacifica — or have a favorite full-service carwash that will — the cabin can look good long after you've driven off the dealership lot.

When starting to sugar date we obviously do not know much about the other person and it's easy to start making assumptions about a Sugar Baby or Sugar Daddy. By judging without knowing them we often what we are and aren't looking for and if that's something we can find in the next person. We forget the fact that every woman might not like her door opened for her because everyone is different. When sugar dating lots of things seem important and others are deal breakers. Like many other aspects, does education level matter in Sugar relationships? Let's find out.
Education Makes a Difference
According to a recent study, putting up any details about your education on your profile can actually result in an increased number of replies. A Sugar Baby with a high school qualification gets lesser replies than another young woman with a college degree and there could be multiple reasons for that. It may be that the educated Sugar Babies are confident about their chances and have a certain level of security about themselves when conversing which attracts the Sugar Daddies. Whatever the reason, talking about your education on your profile does get you more replies. Even using words like college and school can make a lot of difference of your sugar dating site profile.
Generally talking, taking in stats from different dating sites, women with Bachelor's or advanced degree gets loads more attention than others. Girls with a college education have a higher level of popularity of sugar dating sites too. However, it is of profound importance that how you talk about your education on your profile. If you start talking about your classes with a Sugar Daddy, he won't find that attractive.
Also, bringing up topics like mentoring will result in decreased chances of dating a potential Sugar Daddy. To be able to mentor you, a Sugar Baby will have to earn the trust of a Sugar Daddy. Sugar Daddies are successful men and won't start introducing you to their network right away. Alternatively, if a college educated Sugar Baby knows how to make good use of her education she can easily impress a Sugar Daddy. Ditch the money matters for later and impress her with an intellectual discussion using the knowledge of the world you have gained when in college.
Great First Impressions
Photos can make or break your Sugar dating profile. College educated Sugar Babies have been around enough men to know what's classy and what qualifies as being slutty. They are confident about themselves which is why they pick a picture to put on their sugar dating profile that shows how secure they are with themselves. An educated Sugar Baby knows the value of highlighting her best attributes. She writes a great bio helping her attract the right Sugar Daddy. Educated Sugar Babies are also able to shrug off being nervous at first dates and make good knowledge of their use to converse with Sugar Daddies that impress rich wealthy men who know an intellectual woman when they see one.
Never Settling for Less
A major reason of why a college educated Sugar Baby lands a great Sugar Daddy is because she knows when she encounters a bad one and instead of wasting her time she believes in moving on. She will never settle for less because she knows she has an edge on other sugar babies because of her education. A college-educated sugar baby knows her value and communicates her needs from the start so she can get what she has signed up for.

A few weeks ago Mark's co-worker told him that she had just dropped off our pig at the meat locker and it should be ready for pick-up in a week. He stared at her. It seems we both somehow forgot that we had ordered a half a hog from her early in the summer. She and her husband raise small batches of Berkshire pigs (a rare breed originating in England) without using any hormones or antibiotics. Mark, the locker, and I played phone tag for an afternoon trying to figure out exactly how the pig should be cut; we primarily deferred to the butcher's best judgment, though we did have a lot more ground into sausage than is typical. The two full boxes we picked up several days later contained:
- 6 lbs. bacon
- 2 12 lb. hams
- 16 lbs. sausage
- 10 "Iowa Chops"
- 5 lbs. loins
- 11 lbs. roasts
- 3 lbs. heart/liver/tongue (not sure what we'll do with these…)
- 5 lbs. lard (we have ambitions to make chicken sausage with some of our chicken)
Total cost, including purchase and butchering, was right around $2 a pound, pretty cheap, even for Iowa. And well worth it to us, if it means having safer, super-local meat raised in a manner we're comfortable with. Between the chickens and this pork, our freezer now contains more meat than I bet we ate all of last year. Hopefully we can get through it all.

Lessons from an Entrepreneur: Year One/
July 2016 marks the one-year anniversary of Mosaic Growth Partners and my official journey as an entrepreneur. In this first year, I have learned more than I could have ever imagined:
Go with your gut - We all have that little voice inside of us that tells us when something doesn't feel right. There have been a few times in the past year, where I had a feeling that something was off with some of the deals I made and with certain clients. In the cases where I chose to ignore my intuition, it always ended up becoming a problem later on. When I listened to my gut upfront and turned down opportunities that didn't feel right, I never once regretted it. Don't be afraid to listen to your instincts and walk away from an opportunity when it doesn't feel right.
- Listen to the market - When you are starting off, there is no definitive way to know what products and services your prospective customers will want. The best feedback will come from the market itself based on what customers purchase. In addition, it's not always easy to know what the right price point is for your services. I have found the best strategy is to test a few different options of services and pricing structures/fees. Through doing this, I have become better at finding the sweet spot where the client and I can reach agreement on a service and fee relatively quickly. Initially though, I had to go through a lot of back and forth negotiations and even lost some deals, in part, due to my pricing strategy. It's a tough lesson to learn but if you are willing to listen to the market and adjust your services, fees and deal structure accordingly, it can be a great lesson.
- Don't be afraid to pivot - Related to the point above, if you are listening to the market and your customers, you will probably learn that some of your initial assumptions weren't correct. That's ok. In fact, your business should never be stagnant and you should always be iterating as new needs and technologies emerge.
- Take constructive criticism - Sometimes it's not the market giving you feedback – it's your friends, family and mentors. While it can be hard to hear criticism from those closest to you, it can also be extremely valuable. At times this feedback needs to be taken with a grain of salt (someone may not fully understand your business or may have other motives), but often these people can provide valuable insights on how to take your business to the next level as they are intimately familiar with your strengths and weaknesses.
Always be learning - This is my favorite part of running my own business. I find I am learning so much more than I ever expected and am constantly motivated to improve. I encourage new entrepreneurs to stay intellectually curious – don't get too comfortable with your existing competencies and expertise. There are so many ways to keep learning – podcasts, meet-ups, ebooks, conferences, blogs, etc. Take advantage of all the free resources at your disposal.
This first year has been incredibly challenging and exhilarating. Starting a business on your own is not for the faint of heart – you will have mistakes and failures and people will see them. But you are in charge of your path and success and each day offers a new opportunity to improve and make progress. These lessons have helped me get through Year One. I can't wait to see what lies ahead in Year Two.

Photographs ask us to visualize and imagine beyond what we can see. In my images I look for an utopian nature, unrecorded landscapes,
human solitude, sacred spaces.
In the photograph of the shore which the series is named from, the sea and the earth are seen in the proportion of 1:1. I associate this
proportion to a desire and an understanding that travel further. In the core of the shore was silence.
"Nothing that was there at this moment could be translated into anything else,
perhaps not even into a memory."

About Baltimore, Maryland:
Steeped in history, Baltimore is the site of the first casualty in the American Civil War, the birthplace of American national anthem, a city of sport lovers who bleed purple and orange, a city of Edgar Allen Poe and David Simon, and has a distinct personality like no other city in the United States. It has lot more to offer than what's shown in the two gripping TV dramas: Life on the Street and The Wire.
The 'Charm City' lies about 35 miles from Washington D.C., at the western arm of the Chesapeake Bay along the East Coast of the United States. It is an independent city without any county and also the largest city in Maryland state. Famous Baltimore natives are Barry Levinson, Ogden Nash, Henry Louis Mencken, Frederick Douglass, Babe Ruth, Cal Ripken, Billie Holiday, Edith Hamilton, Michael Phelps, and John Waters – the city's equivalent to New York's Woody Allen.
Places to Visit in Baltimore:
A top-ranked tourist attraction, National Aquarium houses over 16,000 animals from sharks to sea turtles. The highlights at Maryland Science Center include dinosaurs exhibits and interactive events to keep the kids busy. The Maryland Zoo in Druid Hill Park engages everyone young at heart with its giraffe-feeding station. The Baltimore Museum of Art holds the world's largest collection of Henri Matisse paintings.
The 178-feet-tall Washington Monument in Baltimore is the oldest civic monument dedicated to George Washington and was erected more than 25 years before its counterpart in the US capital. The neighborhoods of West Baltimore may be infamous for showing the way-down-in-the-hole side of America, yet there are major tourist draws here like the Pimlico Racecourse and Edgar Allen Poe's House.
Fort McHenry, USS Constellation, Maryland Science Center, Walters Art Gallery, Johns Hopkins University, and National Great Blacks in Wax Museum are prominent tourist attractions in Baltimore.
Things to Do in Baltimore:
From the streets of Baltimore to the Inner Harbor area, each stoop and corner is an attraction in itself. Patterson Park, Federal Hill Park, and Druid Hill Park offer a gamut of recreational activities in "Balmer" as the residents pronounce it.
Join the Ravens or Orioles fans for a game, catch a movie screening at Bengies Drive-In Theatre, pay homage to Poe's grave at Westminster Hall, get distracted by beautiful interior while reading in George Peabody Library, linger in the art galleries of downtown, shop til you drop at Arundel Mills Mall, and take a four-hour-long driving tour of filming locations of The Wire.
Don't leave town without sampling the Baltimorean favorites: steamed blue crabs seasoned with Old Bay and pit beef sandwiches complemented with a cold Natty Boh. Needless to say, seafood rules the culinary scene in the city. In operation since 1782, Lexington Market is a popular lunchtime destination with all tastes of food imaginable. The Cross Street Market in South Baltimore is an ideal place to grab a snack while shopping and sightseeing.
When to Visit Baltimore:
Summer (June to August) and fall (September to November) overflow with unique festivities such as HonFest, Baltimore Pride, Artscape (America's largest free arts festival), Shindig Festival, and Maryland State Fair. Spend a day in the park under the colorful fall foliage or indulge in outdoor fun in summers.

Ah, I adore spring! So happy, refreshing, and renewing. Easter Sunday has always been a special occasion for me, particularly in the dress department. Growing up, even though we weren't very religious, we always dressed for the occasion. At least, that's how my mom would have it (then again, maybe that's just the way I had it). Since then, it has just sort of stuck with me. In spirit of all of this wonderful spring weather, finding inspiration from my favorite Instagramer's and of course the almighty, Pinterest; I've come up with a few outfit ideas for Easter to share with you.
Classic Stripes
Feeling like Jackie O with a bad hair day, mmm but I love that jacket!
Alteration of a Favorite
I wore this skirt on Easter last year, and it is truly a favorite, so I had no issue recycling it with a different top. I'll admit, I felt pretty house-wifey, and I do recommend not using an over-sized polo. You can basically wear any sort of top with this skirt and my go-to last year was a black crop top.
Simple Romper
Deets n' such.
So the romper is, well, how should we put this? A little risqué. However, I think it's a classic and wonderfully comfortable, albeit revealing, hence the light trench. This romper also pairs well with a blazer. I only have a white blazer, so I killed the photo because it was a little much, but the couple were great.
Casual Chic
At the time of this photo, I was really regretting throwing out my iron when I moved. I wanted to include my bohemian spirit and something that was simple and comfortable. Kimonos + loose tops + skinnies = yes.
Free Flowin'
Again, the damn iron [insert emoji with face-in-palm]. It turns out I can fit into my size 2 pants, however, I seriously don't know how that's possible. Originally, I was going to pair these with a tight-fit v-neck tee, but I just had the thought to try out my green tube top and BAM! Magic happened and I am obsessed with this look. Seriously, I cannot wait to wear this like every weekend…or so. I usually hold onto clothes for a very very long time, like years, and it's because of reasons like this. Recycle magic. The best.
So there you have it, 5 Easter Sunday looks to get your style senses tingling! Thanks for peeking!

It's strange for me to think of Kevin Love as anything but young, and I suppose in the grand scheme of things he still is.
But in NBA terms, he's not young. He was drafted a decade ago, acquired by the Wolves in a swap for O.J. Mayo that remains one of Kevin McHale's best moves, and traded to Cleveland four summers ago.
His NBA career consists of 10 interesting seasons and two distinct eras: As the face of a constantly rebuilding Wolves team, where he put up massive numbers when healthy; and as a complementary piece with the Cavaliers after joining LeBron in Cleveland via trade following The Decision, Part II.
And now? Love is still in Cleveland as kind of the last man standing, more or less ready to resume his role as the face of a rebuild.
Kyrie Irving went to Boston a year ago. LeBron bolted for the Lakers a few weeks ago. Love? He just agreed to a four-year, $120 million extension with Cleveland. Love, who turns 30 in September, had a year left on his deal. He'll be approaching 35 when this deal expires.
Love, a five-time All-Star who has averaged 17.1 points in his four seasons with Cleveland, figures to take on more of a primary scoring role again with James out of the picture.
His game should age reasonably well as long as his body holds up, but the deal does bring with it a health dose of skepticism. From SI.com, for instance, there is this:
Love is a consummate pro and likable face of the team who can help bridge the gap toward whatever it is that comes next. But while he's been admirably consistent as a rebounder and three-point threat and worked himself into incredible shape in this stage of his career, he does little to protect the rim and remains a defensive vulnerability.
Interestingly, Love and the player he was dealt for — Andrew Wiggins — are now under contract for the same length and nearly the same terms. If you were the Wolves, which would you rather have for the next five years?

30 Years Ago Tonight…
30 years ago tonight, on October 15, 1984, the Born in the USA tour rolled into Vancouver and my musical landscape was forever changed as I saw Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band live for the first time.
From my centre section, row 14 on the floor seat at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, BC, it was like nothing I had ever seen before, and to this day, no one IMO puts on a show like Springsteen. Twenty-four shows later, from Vancouver to New Jersey, Buffalo to LA, including two surprise appearances at Light of Day, I'm grateful for the music and especially grateful for the friends I've made along the way.
Until the next tour, "no retreat baby, no surrender". #BiTUSA30 #Brucebuds #EStreetNation #NFS

"...how do you feel about squirrel and dumplings?"
~Pat Sajak~
Contextually speaking, if we cherry pick our words to best suit their intended purpose, we can imply whatever the fuck we choose to.
"...chicken shawarma deserves to be recognized"
Unsettled to the notion of sitting idly by, I dig for whatever exist within me, that I have yet to uncover. This replenishment program forces me to reach beyond today, while sifting through each moment as if it could become unexpectedly meaningful. The most gratifying aspect of any life is simply living it. There has to be a better future ahead, we already know this shit we're doing now is not sustainable for another two hundred years.
The Voice is on, and I find myself captivated by these stories within this process of the contest. There are people behind the lives displayed on the show. Swinging around your emotions the way they do, only to be rejected at some point. The essence of vulnerability.
"...farm livin is the life for me"
I had written this brilliant paragraph in this exact same space previously, only to have it come up missing from a shitty internet connection that didn't actually save it before closing out the app.
"...hummus knows the way"
I've let this script run over its timeline, and now have several days worth of notations here. There's no actual schedule for anything showing up here anyway. This has to ebb and flow with the proverbial tide. There are plenty of occasions where something swells up within, begging to be written down, and I look up to find I'm nowhere near any means of transcribing my thoughts. Such is life? 🙄
"...guest shots from friends river cruise"
Today is the first tornado weather of the year for our area. Natural forces can be incredibly powerful and devastating at times. Predictably unpredictable, these tightly wrapped extreme rotations of air masses drop down out of the clouds to wreak their havoc on the surrounding areas.
"...building responsible adults"
This post has become so random at this point, I couldn't help but to throw that last one in there😎
Life is busy in all the right ways. Allergies in full bloom with the arrival of spring foliage. The dogwood trees are finally bearing their flowers, and everything with leaves are transforming from their winter listlessness to the splendor of the green beauty we enjoy the majority of the year.
"...meatballs from heaven"
My goal for today (it's already Saturday, I started this piece on Tuesday) is to shake off the physical/mental distractions stemming from my allergies and focus on focusing again. Awareness of all that you can keep a thoughtful eye on combined with distraction free focus on points of emphasis within your life. Floundering around absent of purposeful direction is not a good fit for me. Identification of the correlation between health, body, mind, and spirit leads me to want a better quality of daily existence. Overall quality of life is more tied to this daily experience than the peaks and valleys prevalent in the social fabric surrounding me today. Media from all sources, over expresses the extremities of life, thus giving many people the false sense that their life may be lacking somehow. Ignoring the urge to compare one life to another, or focusing too much attention toward what's missing. Avoiding distractions from the beauty each and every moment offers. Accepting how life fits within our perceptions is the key.

What is Albright Really
Promising for the 'New' Yugoslavia?
by Jared Israel (10-8-2000)
[Emperor's Clothes]
As Clinton administration officials wax euphoric over their 'democratic' coup d'état in Yugoslavia, we say, "Why not? What is democracy without a few hundred million dollars in US bribes plus a mob that sacks the parliament building and loots paintings, chairs and computers?"
Is this what they meant by 'free elections'?
Accompanying the expressions of euphoria are promises of Good Things to Come:
"[Secretary of State Madeleine Albright]...promised assistance from Washington and its European allies for reconstruction so that Yugoslavs 'can have the normal life that the rest of the Balkans are beginning to have.'" ('LA Times', 10-6-2000)
Assistance and a normal life. We will be publishing an in-depth look at the meaning of this assistance. The plan for Yugoslavia is a Marshall plan in reverse. Whereas the first Marshall Plan was a Keynsian affair, pumping money into local economies, providing cheap credit and so on, this plan will do the reverse. In essence, Yugoslavia will pay war reparations to the West. More on that in later articles.
Albright promises to bring Yugoslavia "the normal life that the rest of the Balkans are beginning to have."
That suggests the ''rest of the Balkans'' was doing badly before the West took over and now they doing better.
Untrue. The countries the US has 'assisted', particularly Bulgaria and Albania in the Balkans, along with Ukraine and the Russian Federation next door, had a decent standard of living before the West imposed 'structural adjustment' plans. These plans have caused economic and social devastation. And conditions are getting worse.
Albania has in essence no functioning economy. If it weren't for the 1/3 of the labor force that works outside the country, mainly in Italy and Greece, and the money these people remit back to their families, there would be no economy at all. (Albanian economic figures are manipulated to give the false impression of economic improvement. In reality there is almost no economic activity.) Bulgarian industry and social life have been destroyed. Bulgaria and Russia have falling populations.
Radio Free Europe had a story recently that
'The Russian Academy of Medical Sciences told AP on 5 October that the number of normal births in the Russian Federation declined from 45.3 percent in 1992 [after International Monetary Fund 'reforms' were first instituted, which destroyed the Russian social safety net] to just 30 percent in 1999. (RFRFE/RL Newsline, 10/6/00)
The story goes on to blame this terrible statistic mainly on personal problems - excessive drinking and the like. It is true enough that many people in economically devastated countries develop extreme personal problems. But it is important to understand the cause: the International Monetary Fund ordered the Russia government to institute extreme social spending cuts, and these cuts shattered the medical system. People who have been thrown into poverty don't have healthy pregnancies, do they?

L'amour in French means love. And that's exactly what this blog is all about: A site that explores everything that I love.
As a newspaper writer (and editorial slave), I try my hardest to disappear from the page, letting readers experience and relive any given moment with words. But in this blog, it's quite different.
Here, you'll get to read about personal anecdotes I'd never have the courage to share elsewhere, the stories behind the articles, and even the stories that didn't make it on the paper.
L'amour is an attempt to document a running story of chasing deadlines. It's my collection of memorable coverages, interviewing people, savoring fiction, living in far away places, and every moment in between.
For collaborations and inquiries, send me a message at email@example.com.

There are few things Wall Street loves and hates more than a scandal — well, not just Wall Street, New York in general.
It just so happens that Wall Streeters tend to be in a lot of them ('oh how the mighty have fallen,' and what not).
That's why New York Magazine's 'Three Centuries of New York Scandal' is so brilliant. They take the most devastating, shocking moments from this city's history and put them in a neat timeline.
Thank you, internet.
We loved it so much we decided to put our favorite stories in here.
If anyone in them (or their decedents) is left out, we're sure they'll be okay with it.
In 1788, They called themselves "resurrectionists," — students at the Columbia school were digging up the graves of African American slaves. Freedmen started complaining, but no one listened. At least, not until an angry mob converged on the medical school.
In 1909, Frederick Cook claimed he beat famed explorer Robert Peary by a year. Luckily, his alleged Inuit guides didn't play along with the scam
1926: The reporters were everywhere even when they were Peaches and Edward "Daddy" Browning (estimated to be worth $300 million in today's dollars) were courting. We're just surprised the divorce was the most scandalous part.
It had become yet another point of contention in the legendarily tawdry trial for separation (divorce was not an option at the time, since neither had claimed infidelity), which her husband, 52-year-old Edward "Daddy" Browning, one of the most successful real-estate developers in Manhattan, had opposed. He'd intended to be with Peaches forever, but after lavishing her with 200 bunches of flowers and 50 boxes of candy and 60 dresses and 179 coats, less than six months into their marriage and twenty pounds heavier she'd walked out of their Kew Gardens residence, along with her mother, whom Daddy had agreed to let live with them and whom Peaches had used, he would testify, as another tool in the arsenal of excuses and obstructions she'd put between him and his "rights as a husband."
In 1936, Mary Astor's diary was leaked to the press during her custody battle with her husband. Here's an excerpt:
Tuesday night we had a dinner at '21' and on the way to see Run Little Chillun he did kiss me—and I don't think either of us remember much what the show was about. We played kneesies during the first two acts, my hand wasn't in my own lap during the third. It's been years since I've felt up a man in public, but I just got carried away.
In 1938, Richard Whitney was found guilty of grand larceny and called the "wolf of Wall Street."
He stole bonds from New York Yacht Club, Harvard, St. Paul's School-and some $667,000 from the Stock Exchange Gratuity Fund, set up for the widows and families of dead brokers.
Source: NY Mag and Random House
In 1950, the CUNY Men's basketball team actually made it to the NCAA finals and played at Madison Square Garden.
A year later, seven members of the team were arrested in a point-shaving scheme that ultimately involved 32 current and former players from several teams, and proved to be one of the greatest (known) scandals in college sports.
In 1963, Fernanda Wanamaker Wetherill the hottest socialite in America. Her coming out party at her step-father's Southampton, obviously, was the event of the year. He even rented another mansion for friends that had nowhere to stay — so they trashed it.
There wasn't much sleeping. After 24 hours on a liquid diet, left alone to their own devices in the huge mansion, about 60 of the pride of society went on a Lord of the Flies rampage. The beds were splintered, the chandelier ripped from the ceiling, the crystal and china used for target practice, and the house stoned in a frenzy that broke all but six of its 1,600 exquisitely mullioned windows. The owner was paid for damages, but no charges were filed immediately, inciting a wave of public indignation. Under mounting pressure, a grand jury was convened, and thirteen young men (five in the Social Register) and one girl were charged with the willful destruction of property.
In 1984, blue blooded Sydney Biddle Barrows admitted to running a brothel. The thing is, everyone loved how blunt she was about it — "I ran the wrong sort of business," she told the Boston Globe, "but I did it with integrity."
Protestant work ethic indeed.
In 1989, the wife of billionaire Henry Helmsley was nailed for tax evasion. He was considered unfit to stand trial (he was 80).
After she and Harry stiffed the contractors renovating their 28-room Greenwich home, disgruntled employees alerted the Post about the Helmsleys' curious habit of charging pricey renovations (a marble dance floor, a $130,000 stereo system) to corporate accounts. Enter crusading prosecutor Rudy Giuliani....The high point: housekeeper Elizabeth Baum's recounting that Leona told her "We don't pay taxes, only the little people pay taxes."
In 2008, right when this was the last thing wanted to hear, Americans found out Merrill Lynch CEO John Thaine spent $2.1 million on an office renovation. One of the pieces was called a commode, but it wasn't a toilet.
The scandal, according to Margaret Russell, the editor-in-chief of Architectural Digest, was elsewhere. "I was appalled because so many people didn't fact-check," says Russell, who is friends with Michael Smith, who designed Thain's suites. "A commode is not a fancy toilet. It's a very commonly used word for an antique chest of drawers." Specifically, Thain's was an eighteenth-century English piece.
Well, excuse us.

Say How You Feel
3 mics (!), 1 take video for ya!
My dear friend Samantha Frances from Frances and the Foundation joins me on this one. After wrapping the first episode of my new podcast (she's guest numero uno), Samantha graciously agreed to arrange vocal harmonies on the spot for a song of mine she'd never heard and perform it with an ignoramus in Trey McDermott's backyard. She is, in a word, legendary. The result's light-hearted, spontaneous and exactly what I want to achieve with these 1 take videos.
Here's the video, and lyrics below.
it's the strangest thing
how a lie can seek asylum on an angel's wing
while demons fall like dominoes and crown me king
guess I don't know the first thing about the world
or this girl
or a siren song
whose melody's hypnotic as my head is strong
but I will not die a poster child for what goes wrong
when lust as love as loneliness combine
and intertwine
just say how you feel
so I lock my cell
and a heart remains unbroken, but it won't go well
in a lunatic asylum where the fortunes tell
rumors about the way we used to love
or the lack there of
just say how you feel

Qtum, a blockchain platform that merges the strength of Bitcoin's blockchain with the Ethereum Virtual Machine to build decentralized applications, has completed its first atomic swap with Bitcoin on mainnet.
This is a big, first step for atomic swaps, a feature that allows for on-chain exchanges, or transactions, between cryptocurrencies on two separate blockchains without the need to rely on a third party. For Bitcoin, this is a big step forward in allowing interoperability between other blockchains and itself in a trustless manner.

Article By: Mike PeckHogs drop 2-1 decision to the Stars
Cedar Park, Tex.- For the second straight night a one-goal game failed to swing the Rockford IceHogs way. Rockford fell 2-1 to the Texas Stars at Cedar Park Center on Saturday, a night after dropping a 6-5 decision to the Stars in overtime.
The Stars struck first on Saturday late in period one. Ondrej Roman one-timed a Maxime Fortunas pass from on top of the right faceoff circle and Brandon Segal tipped it through traffic and underneath Alec Richards at 19:50 for the 1-0 advantage.
In the second period the Texas lead was extended to 2-0 with a power-play marker. Roman's cross-ice pass was deflected by IceHogs winger Rob Klinkhammer, but past Richards and in at 8:57.
Penalties plagued Rockford in the middle frame as the Stars had seven straight power plays, including five that were counted in the second period alone. Two carried over to the third period. Rockford played nearly seven-straight minutes of short-handed hockey in the period
Rockford got a goal back in the third period as their power-play notched a tally for a fourth straight game. Shawn Lalonde's blast from the point was redirected by Ryan Potulny past Richard Bachman and in for his 14th goal of the season at 5:56.
That was all Rockford managed, however, as they couldn't convert with the extra attacker on in the final minute.
Rockford was outshot 26-24 in the contest and finished 1-5 on the power play while holding the Stars to 1-7 on the night.
Next Home Game: Wednesday, Feb. 16 vs. Peoria Rivermen: The puck drops at 6:35 p.m. The Peoria Rivermen return to the MetroCentre for the third time in 2010-11. Every Wednesday night is a Taco Bell Dollar Day as fans can purchase $1 Vienna Beef hot dogs, Pepsi Products, Bud Select Drafts and companion tickets.

The final day in the semifinal round of CONCACAF's World Cup qualifying. Surprisingly enough, the U.S. national team needs a result today in a 3:30 p.m. match against Guatemala to advance into the final round of qualifying. A win or tie would put coach Jurgen Klinsmann's side through. A loss could be enough, but only depending on the Jamaica-Antigua & Barbuda match. Group standings here. We'll see how much Sounders FC forward Eddie Johnson features in the contest before hoping on a plane to Seattle (courtesy of Real Salt Lake, of course). Here is some preview information on today's game from ESPN.com, SI.com, MLSsoccer.com, ProSoccerTalk and The Sporting News. Also, Mario Martinez and Honduras need a win at home tonight against Canada to qualify for the final round of CONCACAF qualifying. You can track all the qualifiers worldwide at FIFA.com. Let's get to some links: * * * — Regarding the upcoming RSL game, coach Jason Kreis was on with MLSsoccer.com's ExtraTime Radio yesterday and it also sounds like midfielder Ned Grabavoy could be back from a quad injury. — Lots of links from around the league, starting with the latest punishment from the MLS Disciplinary Committee, local product George John doing some Gangnam Style dancing, and a chat with MLS executive Nelson Rodriguez. — Also, Timbers owner Merritt Paulson talked some numbers regarding expansion fees and more, and here's a report on the amount of money MLS has invested in getting support for another team in New York. — Up in Vancouver, the Whitecaps are in the final push to earn a playoff spot and one writer thinks unheralded midfielder Gershon Koffie has been the team MVP. Attendance, though, has been a bit disappointing. — Elsewhere, here's a good feature on Sporting KC's Graham Zusi, who has been a USMNT regular. — SI's Grant Wahl took a look at BeIN Sport USA, the channel that has been the source of a lot of frustration recently regarding the availability of USMNT road games. — Did you see the UW men's soccer team has jumped into the Soccer America Top 25 at No. 17? — Lastly, on the local scene, I was saddened to hear of the passing of Mercer Island boys soccer coach Steve Newman. He was someone who I had worked often with during my years of prep coverage before moving to the Sounders beat. Comments

The motion of space-based observatories is a delicate balance between gravity and angular momentum. To control and measure telescope orientation and to point from target to target, space observatories used gyroscopes. Gyroscopes are essentially spinning disks whose orientations in space are maintained due to the physical principle of the conservation of angular momentum. This is the same physical principle that allows a bike rider to control their orientation and direction in space. By controlling the rate of spin of a particular gyroscope, telescope controllers can change the pointing direction of a space telescope. Gyros are thus essential to the operation of modern space observatories. As with any mechanical system, problems can arise. X-ray astronomers were worried to hear that, on October 10, the Chandra X-ray Observatory, NASA's flagship X-ray observatory, experienced a glitch in one of its four onboard gyros. This glitch meant that, for an interval of a few seconds, the orientation of the observatory and its rate of motion were not well determined. Chandra has protective systems in place, which, if such an anomaly occurs, puts the spacecraft in safe mode, until ground controllers can figure out what happened and restore normal operations. During safe mode, the spacecraft automatically swaps critical telescope hardware to back-up units, and the spacecraft points so that the solar panels get maximum sunlight and its mirrors point away from the Sun to avoid inadvertent damage. Fortunately for the high-energy astronomy community, Chandra was recovered from safe mode within only two days, and a fix was implemented over the next few days. Chandra resumed normal science operations on October 24.

Jag blev djupt rörd och inspirerad när jag läste Cristinas tankar och synsätt om hållbarhet och hållbar livsstil...
Av Chrisitna Rai, 30 juli, 2011
Sustainability – a big question in our days and most important of all a boring question for many people in our society.
Today i participated in a discussion group at the sustainability festival Future Perfect at Ängsbacka. The theme of the discussion was "Communication, technology, internet". The main questions arising in the actual group of around 15 people were "Do we need to be involved into the sustainability questions in order to contribute to a more sustainable world?"
Interesting question for me and I realized quite soon that this topic is closer to my heart than I could believe before.
There are two ways of getting to a more sustainable world in my opinion and there will be:
The unsustainable way of doing sustainability by pushing or manipulating people into thinking sustainability and the sustainable way of doing sustainability: inspiring and engaging people to find the value of existence, beyond the false value created by desire and temporary pleasure and from that place of value help people to find another way of relating to themselves, to each other, nature and society.
It is obvious for me that by creating a packages of rules and routines about how to relate to our environment is in a way a method of controlling and disempowering people. Inspiration, true engagement and creativity will not arise from the fear of not being punished. They will come from a place in ourselves there the value of existence goes beyond the material life, beyond the desires and pleasure. It comes from a place of well being there caring is one of the dominant qualities of our actions.
And yes, the way of getting there may be seen as egoistic and individualistic for some of us, because there is necessary a continuous introspection of our own actions and experiences, a change in the focus we have today, from the world outside to the world inside, questioning "what is the true value in my actions this moment?" and in that way finding the true value of being – the base of sustainable way of doing sustainability.
Inspiring others to live sustainable will in that way come by itself. We become the inspiration itself with no costs for advertising or for spreading the world about us. The only thing is required is being you. In the moment we are ourselves, truly living sustainable to ourselves, to others, to the environment, sharing it authentically to everyone getting in touch with us the impact will be greater than the most creative commercials for everything that have made us happy before.
And is this possible will some ask? Ängsbacka is a community and a business, I would like to say is a living example. I have been involved in different ways here for the last year and for me this is a place there sustainability is alive from a holistic perspective . People at Ängsbacka are striving for a sustainable relation to themselves and each other, by working here, practicing awareness and/or by joining the personal and spiritual development courses and festivals offered here all year around. And how is this serving to a more sustainable world? By showing that we have the possibility to choose more awareness in our way of being and that will be reflected all the way to running a business and creating communities.
Another examples are the people who have been visiting Ängsbacka for many years now and who have taken initiatives in actions that contribute to a more friendly and environmentally sustainable world.

The real estate community is abuzz right now… if you look around our neighborhood there are numerous projects going that had been stalled for years. In case you are wondering, on the corner of 44th and Indian School there will be a new commercial plaza and rumor has it that there will be an In and Out Burger!
On the corner of 36th and Campbell there is a huge luxury condo complex in the works by the Helix Corporation. This project had been put on hold in 2008 when the bubble burst so it's good to see that piece finally getting finished.
On 32nd Street just North of Indian School there is a commercial building that had been started and stopped years ago… now they are back working on the building again. When I get news of what will be going there I will share.
All in all, LOTS of activity and prices on residential real estate continues to rise with a dwindling supply.

203 Travel Challenges
203 Travel Challenges: Travel the world. Explore your inner self. By Maria Angelova and Ivalina Nenova
Note: Maria, one of the authors of this book, reached out to me and asked me to discuss this book on my blog. Although she provided me a copy of this book, my review and discussion represent my personal thoughts and experiences.
Also, check out my interview on 203 Challenges' blog!
At the beginning of 203 Travel Challenges: Travel the world. Explore your inner self. there is a quiz that helps you understand what kind of traveler you are. Those of you who've met me, won't be surprised that I am The Zen Traveler. The recipe for my perfect trips includes:
- Organization (I want to know what we are doing and when)
- Personal space (I'm a hardcore introvert, I need personal time to rejuvenate)
- Advanced Research (I want to know what to expect and what to look for)
- Conveniences (Those things that make a trip more fun, interesting, and comfortable)
The Zen Traveler likes the "off the beaten path" destinations and sees traveling as an inner experience. We prefer tranquil settings and we aren't to keen on unforeseen surprises. And, for me, I'm perfectly content with a book as company (surprise, surprise.)
This book is full of challenges to help you make the most of your travels. I chose challenge #34 to be my first: When you are on a holiday, get up early and see the sunrise at least once. My dad and I are both early birds, but my mom and my husband are night owls. My dad and I are also both introverts (my guess is he would also be considered a Zen Traveler...but he'll have to take the quiz to be sure!) So on our vacation to Cabo last month, we were perfectly happy watching the sunrise in complete silence.
If you love to travel and are interested in making your trip a little more insightful and meaningful, purchase your copy of 203 Travel Challenges below:

A number of years ago, the government promised to make planning more concise. Rather than lessen the guidance, the government abbreviated policy with the use of more acronyms, which means that planning guidance can be impenetrable without a glossary to hand.
More recently, the abbreviated guidance has been reduced further and presented as the National Planning Policy Framework. Concise policy and guidance often means that it is what is not stated that matters more than what is set out, and such background context is therefore invaluable.
Our Expertise
Directions Planning Consultancy is able to design training and education programmes to provide a sound grounding in planning matters or, for example, to improve understanding of the changes to the system that are currently under way. Programmes are bespoke and constructed to meet the needs of groups such as parish councils, community action groups, public sector organisations, students or, indeed, any group with a desire to further their understanding of this difficult area. Designed to be delivered in an appropriate form - presentation, interactive workshop, or a series of informal discussions - the target is to make planning more accessible.

One of the unexpected pleasures of my trip was the discovery of the heritage apple orchards at the Irish Seed Savers Association. The Native Apple Collection contains a unique orchard of over 33 self rooting varieties of apple trees that require no grafting for propagation. This is probably the largest collection of this type of apple tree in the world. It contains 140 distinct varieties of apples, like the "Irish Molly" pictured above.
In May the trees were just starting to bud, I'll need to come back in the fall to see actual apples on trees! Eventually, I would like to illustrate this wonderfully unique collection of Irish apples in colored pencil and watercolor. I know . . . add it to the list!
