Willow Sound Records in association with Northern Ramble Concerts Presents Tara Shannon in Concert, with Special Guests Sam Timmins, Kimberly Sunstrum and R. W. Haller - Doors 7:30pm, Music 8pm - Tickets $12 Advance/$15 Door
Tara Shannon is a Canadian award-winning singer and songwriter from Russell, ON. In 2017, Shannon launched her longly-awaited album Unfinished, which received praise and critical acclaim in Ottawa, Montreal and most notably Nashville where she also performed in the legendary radio station, 650 WSM AM. The album was followed by her single "Love Me Loud" which ranked number 8 in Indie downloads on the DMDS/Yangaroo charts in Canada during the first week after the release, surpassing hit artists Major Lazer.
Alongside her natural talent and dedication to her musical craft, Shannon is also well known for supporting and giving a voice towards local and national charitable campaigns.
Sam Timmins is a singer/songwriter, live and session vocalist with years of experience on stage and in the studio, providing lead and background vocals for live, performance and studio recording projects. She performs at corporate events, private parties, bars, and festivals in Ottawa and surrounding area. While continuing to write songs and work on her upcoming album, Sam has also travelled to perform in Eastern Canada, Europe, the Caribbean, and various states including Nashville.
R.W. Haller is a singer/songwriter from Ottawa Ontario. With hints of country, folk, and a healthy dose of Rock and Roll his songs are at once familiar yet new and original.
"Really great songs, so many great hooks and melodies, and I love your voice. It's in permanent rotation in our car." - Ron Hawkins
With the release of his first solo record, Wasted Time, R.W. steps into the spotlight after years of playing alongside many incredible artists as sideman/multi-instrumentalist. Graced by the talents of Sean Burke on bass and Ian Cook on drums R.W. started building this disc upon the solid foundation they put down in the studio. First by adding guitars, mandolin, banjo, and dobro himself, and then enlisting a vast array of talent for keyboards, pedal steel, harmonica, violin, and background vocals.
Songs about love lost, love found, and the love of his country dominate Wasted Time. From toe-tapping patriotism to country soul you'd be hard pressed to not find some common ground with this music.
Afro-Canadian singer-songwriter Kimberly Sunstrum's sound is a reflection of her culturally diverse family background and musical upbringing. She grew up listening to old-time country music, South African pop hits, American folk and classic R&B. Blending powerful vocal ability, heart-felt lyricism and skillful instrumental compositions, Sunstrum's performances are energetic and accessible while still conveying an intimate and soulful connection to the listener.

Modifiers have been used in urological coding for many years to obtain correct payments for services provided. Recently, the office of the Inspector General (OIG), in its review of the use of modifiers have discovered errors in the use of some of the most commonly used modifiers that have resulted in overpayments to urologists and other providers. Because of this, CPT® and CMS and their medical agencies have increased their surveillance of the use of all modifiers. New modifiers have been installed to clarify the use of certain codes and procedures and to limit use of some modifiers. Certain modifiers have been identified for special observation and investigation as to their correct usage.
This audio session by expert speaker Michael A. Ferragamo, MD, FACS, will provide you the necessary information to avoid misuse of specific modifiers and to understand the overall use of modifiers in general. You'll also get a clear explanation on strategies to avoid denials and to insure proper payments. Plus, you'll get tips on coding new and old modifiers with many clinical examples. This session will give you a clear idea of when to and when not to use modifiers with all the important criteria for modifier use.

Gillibrand, Schneiderman campaign in Flushing
Posted on November 1, 2010 by Connor Adams Sheets in Attorney General, City Comptroller, U.S. Senate
U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) and Democratic state Attorney General candidate Eric Schneiderman toured downtown Flushing with City Comptroller John Liu Friday in a last-minute push for Queens votes.
Recreating a similar walk in support of Liu's candidacy last year, the trio trekked with their entourage from the Queens Crossing plaza, along Main Street, where they visited the Chinese-owned Tai Pan Bakery and Hong Kong Supermarket, up 37th Avenue, where they stopped in at Joe's Shanghai Restaurant, then down Union Street, where they stopped in at the Korean-owned Canaan Bakery.
Along the way they shook hands with voters and shoppers, drawing a gaggle of press and onlookers and creating quite a scene as they navigated Flushing's already jammed streets.
Gillibrand's remarks focused in large part on her plans for the economy.
"This election is about making sure small businesses have access to the capital they need to create new jobs," she said. "We want to create jobs. We want to make sure middle-class families are able to make ends meet and that small businesses have the capital they need to create jobs. Middle-class families and small businesses — that's who we're fighting for."
She also addressed Chinese reporters' repeated questions about the country's relationship with their home country.
"We want to make sure our playing field is fair on issues like trade agreements, but our relationship is very strong," she said. "The more we can work together, the better it is for both of us."
The candidates and Liu further emphasized the need for people to turn out at the polls Tuesday and stated their commitment to the people of Flushing.
"On Nov. 2, make sure to go out and vote," Schneiderman said. "We'll see you here after the election, too."

This is my second year writing a letter a month to my two girls. If you'd like to read some of my other friends' letters, please follow our circle and see what my dear friend Kami had to say to her two adorable little girls' this month HERE
Hi girls,
It's almost Spring. It's hard to believe but we actually had a day today that reached 60 degrees and we didn't need to wear jackets! This has been the longest winter in history and too bad, the low tomorrow is 20. Spring is right around the corner…we hope! While we are on the topic of warmer weather, I wanted to write a quick note as I reminisced about our last trip in February to Senegal. You guys are pro travelers now and are officially awesome travel buddies. We had a heck of time even getting to Senegal with a 20 hour delay (thanks to Delta Airlines) and sleeping on the floor of the airport. Or you and your Dad did while I just sat in a chair. I don't do well sleeping outside of a real bed. I should be better by now, but I'm just not :) Anyway, as soon as we got to our little hotel and we got some sleep, it was as if we had been in Senegal for a week. You both decided you want to live there permanently and didn't want to go back home. You had brought your favorite toys and books of the month, you had warm weather, a pool, lots of dogs and horses and goats to play with, but most importantly you had each other. And honestly, that was all that mattered the whole time. You are only 19.5 months apart and you two couldn't be any different when it comes to size, height, personality, likes, hair, and more. But, at the end of the day, you have each other and it doesn't matter where we are in the world, what time zone we are in, or which Frozen song is your favorite to sing. Yes, you do argue and fight, but I don't know what you would do without one another. Love outweighs the rest. And you two love each other like none other. I love you both and wanted to include some snaps of the two of you at the beach in Senegal- care fee and loving the cold water. It's nice to look at these and imagine what summer might feel like again. You both look so tiny in this huge ocean. Drew, you are getting braver and braver and walking out past the break. Harper, you go out a little ways, but always run back to your Mama for safety. Analogies for the types of little people you both are these days.
I can't wait to see what lies in store for our next adventure.

Our Mission Statement: The Mission of Why Can't We Make a Difference Foundation, is to increase elementary school students' academic and emotional interest in school through academic and social enrichment programs in the underserved school communities of Los Angeles California.
The Why Can't We Make a Difference Foundation(WCWMADF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation founded on November 25th 2005.
WCWMAD foundation was birthed after bearing witness to the lack of support and resources provided to assist individuals and communities disenfranchised following the floods of Hurricane Katrina. While our foundation is not a religious organization our foundation's creed was created from the passage Zechariah 7:9, 10, "Thus says the Lord of host: Execute true justice, show mercy and compassion to his brother." "Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the alien or the poor; let none of you plan evil in his heart against his brother."
Since its inception, we have matured and now serve our local community. WCWMAD foundation has raised funds to provide over $50,000 in grants of support to those in need by way of delivering over 2400 individual meals a year to the homeless, grants to prevent evictions, burial expenses, performing arts grants for adolescents and scholarships to young adults for continuing education and college.
In 2011 our foundation launched mentoring and enrichment programs to elementary students in underserved school communities of Los Angeles California. Our enrichment programs are designed to increase academic and emotional interest in students.
It is our foundation's intent to bring greater growth to the lives of individuals we impact in an extraordinary way. We hope that our legacy encourages our stakeholder's and community to "Make A Difference."

So back to the Styx concert. For the first time ever we left Kaelyn with non-family as we went out for the night . . . well, if you don't count the three weeks when she was in the NICU it was the first time ever. Ed and Sheryl offered to watch her [THANKS AGAIN, GUYS!] so Kelly, Larry and I met up with Tim at Corwin Nixon Park and found a good place to watch the concert.
Spending three years in Mason gave me a good community sense, so I feel I can authoritatively offer that it was a good mixture of residents and non-residents alike. Masonic influence was present as people instinctively lined up their lawn chairs in meticulously ordered rows without being directed. But the non-Mason goyim were there as well, identifiable by their denim cut-off shorts and fishing coolers lined with beer. Yes, friends, you could sense a good time was to be had by all.
It was great to run into some people from Christ's Church who were there. The crowd was so large, there were probably some there we didn't get to see. I'll bet the seniors group was somewhere near the front, showing some skin in the hope of getting called backstage.
Beyond the actual concert, the city did well to be as lame as possible. The "opening act" was selected individuals singing the same patriotic songs in different forms. Then the city officials felt obligated to milk the opportunity for some free face time. I will say that the mayor's remarks were so laughable I'm not going to repeat them here suffice to say that, according to her, I think Styx won our freedom from the British.
And then the band played.
The band opened with "Blue Collar Man" which I found ironic since the city is rather white collar. A quick transition to "Grand Illusion" and, before I knew it, we were singing the tribute to my niece. Of course, they finally decided to play the notorious "Obscure Song From The First Album That No One Knows Except Die-Hard Fans." I looked around the crowd, wondering if anyone was familiar with the song, and I saw him. "He" was the ultimate Styx fan. I was impressed. Very impressed, in fact. I'm just saying that he knew the verses to songs the band didn't even remember. I had to take a photograph of him so Tim and Larry parted the waters so I could snap this:
It wasn't a good pic, but something to remember him by. He was absolutely amazing. I shall never forget him and his devotion to Styx-ism.
The ninety minutes flew by. Before we knew it, it was over. But we didn't go far, knowing that an encore was in store. There was but one song that remained. A little "Renegade" to serenade us home. They did not disappoint. Oh mama, they brought it home.
As we walked away, the fireworks exploding above our heads was the exclamation point on the perfect night. We rocked out friends. And freedom rang.

Welcome to my art gallery website. I sincerely hope you enjoy your experience as you navigate through the art pieces I have painted over the past 20 years. Payment System is currently not working if you want to buy my art please call me at 860-383-3043.
After leaving behind all the pressures and routines found in the business world I retired and began my artistic expression journey in retirement. It all started when I joined a senior citizen center in Rye New York. The center only allowed its students to use acrylic paints which was helpful to me in learning the art and skill of painting. This is where I learned the various techniques of brush strokes and mixing paint to make the canvas come alive.
Every day I paint, I learn something new and the quality enhances as I attempted to capture the visual passion found in my art. Over the years I have taken classes and studied under three instructors who have been very helpful to me in finding my own painting style.
Today my artistic skills have allowed me this opportunity to share my love and joy of oil painting. You will see that I have a unique artistic eye capturing on canvas images that will hold your attention and keep you engaged and entertained in the art you're experiencing.
I welcome your comments and if possible leaving your email address so we can stay in touch. The most important of all is my hope that you enjoyed this experience and are able to take away the positive feelings of joy and love that I have put into each piece of art.

This Southern Lady is decomposing in plain view of everyone who wants to take a look, from the bridge above or up close and personal from a boat or jet ski.
Who owns this barnacled, decaying southern lady? And don't they have to "put her in the trash" ? This leviathan, which strikes a pose as you cross over the NC Holden Beach bridge, will most likely be here, still shrinking as her organic matter decomposes, even becoming nutrients for sea faring microorganisms. Are we talking about the ship or the woman sitting on her rotting gunnel? Still not sure? That's the point.
The EPA defines Biodegradable as "materials that can decompose, usually by bacteria or sunlight, into basic components. Most organic materials (paper, grass clippings, food scraps), under the right conditions, are biodegradable." So what does decompose mean? EPA defines Decompose as "to break down into basic components, given the right conditions of light, air, and moisture; refers to materials such as food and other plant and animal matter."
So this ship is biodegradable because the wood can decompose, and wood originated from an organic source--organic compounds or dead organisms such as plants and animals. But, this wood is rotting so slowly. Some organic matter breaks down quicker than others, obviously. If this had been a washed up whale, I wouldn't be looking at it again this year. Maybe the bones, though? Ok, but what about the ship's rusting metal parts? And what about the massive engine in this sinking ship? Not going anywhere any time soon, unless the town of Holden Beach drags it out with some kind of huge machinery and hauls it to the scrap yard.
I'm pretty sure the microorganisms in the ocean don't break down the metal parts for nutrition. Yes, I am readily biodegradable. I see it when I look in the mirror--graying hair, a few more wrinkles because my skin's elasticity, or collagen, is decomposing, 30/45 eye sight and much needed bifocals. Decomposing pretty rapidly, it seems, sometimes, if I look in the mirror too often. Calcium for biodegrading bones? LIke the Southern Lady's decomposing wood, I too am organic matter. But parts of the iphone in my pocket and the foam in the soles of my flip flops might last for hundreds of years. And my flops are made from recycled yoga mats. How great is that? They are recycled, but maybe not so biodegradable?
Back to the sinking ship, and the sinking building beside it:
I stopped in at the bait and tackle store across the Holden Beach bridge, and asked about it. While I was paying $26.00 for my 5 dozen mud minnows for flounder fishing (we have never stooped so low to buy our bait, but the ones we're NOT catching in our cast net are tooo small), I asked the gent who was scooping my mud minnows into my minnow bucket about the partially biodegrading boat. He replied, in a loud voice, "The town has been trying to get that boat out of the water for several years, but nobody wants to pay for it. " Another guy in a back room added, "It will break into pieces and cost a fortune to remove." I now imagine town council meetings where the topic of the sinking ship comes up repeatedly. Probably a lawsuit is in the works. If the ship would just decompose a lot faster, everyone would be a lot happier. Just like we suggest you do with our ingredient list, do your own research, and you'll find the rotting trawler Southern Lady has been the center of attention in Holden Beach for the past few years.

Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter… and Spring2
May 4, 2013 by Mithil
I am sure all of us had our share of fables from our elders, the spooky ones, the ones that instilled dread or the ones that addressed moralities in a wider range. We have been told, instructed and fed the societal do's and don'ts. Desire is the prime enemy of human being and that it leads to other ruinous consequences such as greed, revenge etc. We are protecting our sons and daughters from the crimes of the world from the clutches of the 'men'. But doesn't that conceal the intrepid nature of a man and the basic need to confront the unpredictable.
Directed by the famous Ki-duk Kim , this Korean drama paints the tail of a monk (master) and his lone disciple. The most gratifying thing about the story is it's location. Their settlement consist of a raft with a roof, floating in a lake well cushioned inside a tropical valley. It is to my understanding that the master well known as the holy one, is noted for his healing abilities. The story is well knitted piece of individual moral speeches well represented across the various seasons. Most of the scenes in the movies starts with a soothing and serene movement of camera across the lake which also nestles the masters house. I don't think I have ever felt so much at peace revelling on the tranquillity of the scenes.
The characters and the behaviour of the boy is seen transient across seasons which does arises a smoke of confusion around the movie. But pondering helps as it reiterates the changing behaviour of a human being over a period of time as he experiences the world around him. When the boy surrenders to sexual lust and copulates with a patient of master, he doesn't object which I half expected he would. He instead goes on to say that sex may have cured his patient which is very magnanimous (and expected ) of master.
Maybe the slate is not as clean as it appears to be, intermittently either I was lost or the message the director wanted to convey. The mother with a veil over her face was one of the scene that I was unable to comprehend as it refused to show the mothers face.
In December last year I failed to catch the screening of Pieta, but thankfully some of the people who did caught up with it recommended me to watch out for the man, Ki-duk Kim. Well evident from this movie to me that he is no regular filmmaker. Here he enthralled me with his deep study of Buddhism, his ability to hold your mind even when stillness is the orator. I have no doubt that even the actors are superior in their portrayal.
In the end when the new boy does the same mistakes, you tend to believe that this is the circle of life. We are meant to go through all the pain and calamities to know the real meaning of life. The movie is sure watch for the patient ones.

1. Disappointing EU member states
BSSB.BE ecfr.eu 13.08.2018
Balkans Danube Ex-USSR Germany
* The roots of coalitions: Like-mindedness among EU member states
As the nineteenth century wore on, foreign policy in Europe increasingly became the preserve of cabinets rather than feudal rulers, calling into question bonds between royal families across the continent.
As Lord Palmerston – a master of diplomacy in his time – observed, states do not have permanent friends; they have permanent interests. Today, Palmerston's dictum seems only half true: the permanent interests he saw as key to foreign policy combine with other relevant factors – including principal values or preferences in rules and processes of engagement with others, as well as a shared history of cooperation and responsiveness. Together, these interests and other factors guide relationships and interactions between states.
In the early twenty-first century, Palmerston's world seems to have made a comeback with a resurgence in geopolitics and great power rivalry. Nonetheless, the European Union has developed as a political system that could hardly be more different from the flexible alliances of his time.
The Union integrates large and small member states into a common legal and institutional framework that often privileges the small, and that has tamed the power of the strong through the rule of law. But this does not mean that EU member states' interests and preferences will always align with one another. Interestingly, a range of strong bilateral relationships and frustrated expectations shape the modern EU.
- As demonstrated in the chapter on preferences in ECFR's forthcoming EU Coalition Explorer, the Union encompasses a mixture of balanced and lopsided relationships.
- A strong relationship involves significant consensus and reciprocal engagement between two countries. For example, respondents from two member states in such a relationship listed their countries as having shared interests with each other significantly more often than they did with other EU countries.
Lopsided relations involve a high level of engagement by one side that the other does not reciprocate. For example, in the survey, 24 percent of votes from Danish respondents listed Sweden as responsive in dealing with Denmark, while only 11 percent of votes from Swedish respondents listed Denmark as responsive in dealing with Sweden. In votes Swedish respondents cast, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, and Estonia came out as more responsive than Denmark.
Like-minded countries
Judging by member states that have strong relationships, a shared neighbourhood often appears to be an essential factor in European integration.
- The survey demonstrated that France and Germany have positive relations across the board;
- each country recognises the value of working closely with the other, complementing all other member states' recognition of them as key partners.
- Like the Franco-German tandem, the relationship between the Netherlands and Germany is balanced and strong, as is that between Sweden and Finland.
The only other pairs of countries that are highly responsive to each other across the board are members of the Visegrád group. Poland has formed a robust partnership with Hungary, as has the Czech Republic with Slovakia. There is an extremely high level of consensus within each pair, but the survey indicates that there is no comparable consensus between them.
This suggests that the Visegrád group is a 2+2 relationship that includes some inbuilt rivalry and disagreement – which could significantly constrain its members' collective impact. While the relationships between Baltic states are close, they are not always balanced. Although the survey provides further evidence that Greece and Cyprus have a close relationship, it also leads to the surprising conclusion that Spain is more closely connected to France than Italy.
Denmark, Austria, Ireland, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, and Slovenia appear to have no close partners in the EU. Meanwhile, Belgium, Luxembourg, Italy, and Lithuania seem to have only one close partner each. Thus, these countries have relatively weak or unbalanced relationships with other member states. For example, Ireland most often contacts the United Kingdom and Germany, but the UK and Germany most often contact countries other than Ireland.
Similarly, the Irish perceive themselves as having greater shared interests with the Dutch than the British, but the Dutch do not perceive themselves as having significant shared interests with the Irish. The UK and the Netherlands top Ireland's list of most responsive partners – a perception that that the UK moderately agrees with, but the Netherlands does not.

EU research and innovation will address social exclusion, discriminations and various forms of inequalities. It will explore new forms of innovation and strengthen the evidence base for the Innovation Union, the European Research Area and other relevant EU policies. It will promote coherent and effective cooperation with third countries.
Finally, it will address the issues of memories, identities, tolerance and cultural heritage.
Formation of modern states in Europe demonstrates a conspicuous feature of stage-by-stage development during the transition from feudalism to capitalism. This stage-by-stage development is striking not only in that the political form of every stage represents the need of the then society but also in that almost every state in Europe has experienced the same stage-by-stage development, moving from one stage to the next according to a certain sequence
In private, and sometimes in public, they demanded that the Prime Minister give them something in their armoury to fight off the challenge – and that something was an EU referendum

So the other day I was walking through Shelton's Natural Foods Market, scoping out the produce section and piecing together dinner for the evening when I came across an oddly shaped, vibrant green fellow tucked alongside a wall of kale. The sign read: Romanesco Broccoli. "Oh yeah!" I said to myself, I saw this crazy thing on the Food Network once. Romanesco was not on the menu for the evening, so I left him behind.
A day or two passed and I couldn't get Romanesco out of my mind. I kept thinking about him sitting there, ignored by every passerby – despite the Shelton's Market Garden tag above his head. Like a puppy left behind, I couldn't resist the urge to buy him. So I went back and found him lying right where I remembered − next to the leafy greens, and took him home with me.
Upon arriving home, I set him down and stared quizzically, pondering my next move. Uncertainty set in before I decided to have a conversation with him; and this is how it went down.
Me: What exactly are you?
Romanesco: Well I'm often compared to broccoli or cauliflower. There's a lot of debate about where I came from and what I am. Some call me cabbage, some broccoli, some cauliflower; but the short answer is, I am an edible flower of the species, Brassica oleracea (ie: cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, collard greens)
Me: You're awfully psychedelic looking – where do you believe your origin is?
Romanesco: My heritage is Italian. If you ask my Dad, and me, we'll say we are a special Italian variety of broccoli. Our ancestors date back to the 16th century.
Me: Hmm. Very interesting. When and where can people find you?
Romanesco: Generally, I'm available late summer and up until the first frost. I'm typically only found in local grocery stores with a diverse selection of produce, or at farmers markets.
Me: Yes, of course…
Romanesco: You're kind of looking at me strangely; what's your deal?
Me: Oh, forgive me. I'm sure you get this a lot, but you're absolutely gorgeous – in a weird alien sort of way though. I feel as though I'm looking at Marvin the Martian's fecal mater, yet I'm completely astounded and unbelievably attracted to you.
Romanseco: Actually, no I've never heard that before. I mean beautiful yes, alien-esque, yes. But never have I been compared to Martian poop. If you can't conduct this interview in a professional manner, then I'm going to have to leave.
Me: No, no, I apologize. I often don't perfectly formulate my thoughts before they leave my mouth. You are very attractive, in all the best ways possible. Just how big can your spirals get?
Romanseco: Apology accepted. I'm often misunderstood. People are typically put off by my looks. My growth usually creates ornate twists that are about 4 to 5 inches long.
Me: Fascinating. What do you taste like?
Romanesco: I offer a distinct nutty flavor described as more intense than broccoli; a hybrid of broccoli and cauliflower, if you will.
Me: Sounds delicious. How would you prepare yourself to be eaten?
Romanesco: Well you have to be careful and not overcook me; otherwise you will end up with a rather unpleasant texture. Overall I'm fairly versatile; a simple Italian preparation would be to mix me together with some pasta, garlic, chili flake, pecorino cheese, and maybe finished off with a touch of lemon zest.
Me: That sounds delicious! What about if you added some pancetta or bacon?
Romanesco: Yeah, that would be good too. Hey, what are you doing with that knife?
Me: Making dinner.
Orecchiette with romanesco
1 1/2 Cups Orecchiette
1 head of romanesco broccoli (cut into florets)
3 slices of bacon, roughly chopped (or pancetta)
1 TBSP olive oil
1 Clove garlic, minced
1 TSP chili flake
1/8 Cup dry white wine
1/4 Cup grated pecorino cheese
1-2 TSP lemon zest
Salt and pepper to taste
Boil water for pasta. While water is coming to a boil, cook bacon in separate pan. Before adding pasta to boiling water, add romanesco florets and blanch for 1-2 mins; remove and dry. Add pasta to boiling water. While pasta is cooking, heat oil in pan at med-high temperature and add romanesco. Sauté for 2-3 mins, getting a good sear on the florets. Add garlic and chili flake, salt and pepper, and sauté another 5 mins. Add wine to pan and cover with lid and turn down heat to simmer. Simmer for 5 mins or until wine has evaporated. By this time pasta should be done. Drain pasta and add to pan. Stir bacon into pan and combine with other ingredients. Top with grated pecorino cheese and add lemon zest to each serving to taste.

Why She Does It: Lucy
Welcome to the More Precious Summer Series 2017! We are so excited that summer is finally here, and even more excited to be sharing our brand new summer content with you! Each Saturday over the summer, we are going to be sharing an interview with an everyday girl - a girl just like you and me. We're going to be asking the girls to share a glimpse of what their lives look like at the moment, and why they're living life with God at the centre.
And to kick us off, we're chatting to wonderful Lucy, the founder of More Precious. Lucy is an incredibly inspirational and encouraging friend to so many of us, so we know you're going to love hearing from her today - enjoy! x
Fun Four
Book on my bedside table: Option B by Sheryl Sandberg and Adam Grant
Favourite month: September! Fresh starts, new stationery, birthday celebrations, and Autumn sunshine!
Habit I wish I could stop: Checking the Daily Mail for photos of the Royals...
Quality I'd most like to have: Humility
Tell us what you are up to at the moment? What does a typical day/week look like for you?
I live and work in London with my husband James, and we go to church at Holy Trinity Clapham. A typical week for me normally involves some quality time with my trusty seven-year-old Macbook, checking in on the More Precious content lined up for that week and getting new projects rolling. Evenings get filled with work events, seeing friends, running by the river (on my better weeks only, I must confess), and date night! A big priority is of course putting aside time first thing to read the Bible and spend time with God (more on this further down).
The week normally ends with church, followed by Sunday Night Pasta with my lovely sibs-in-law Emma and Luke, which hits those end-of-weekend blues on the head!
What's the highlight of your week? Which parts of your everyday life do you love most?
1. Team Calls with the amazing MP girls! I'm not just saying that for this interview. I'm so energised by their vision, energy and gifts. It's a massive privilege to do what we do.
2. When I miraculously align diaries with my two best friends from college, who are incredibly loyal, hardworking and massively fun to be with. I also love catching up with my all-star friend Katie Brown, whose wisdom always keeps me going in those trickier weeks! Thanks girl!
3. Wednesday nights when we have our church small group. It's one of my big privileges to get to eat, study the Bible, celebrate milestones and pray with these friends week after week.
4. James and I try to walk around Battersea Park at least once a week. I absolutely love this time. The rhythm of the river and seeing the lights of Albert Bridge (so beautiful - Google it!) slows me down and gives me real perspective.
5. It doesn't happen every week, but getting to see my family (and my new family-in-law) is a massive highlight for me. I absolutely love spending time with them all.
Why are you doing life in the way you are?
Our life is largely shaped around friends, families, our jobs, and church – underpinned by the belief that these are all opportunities God has given to us. And so, I am constantly asking for guidance about how I should invest into each of these spheres… How can I be a friend who is life-giving and trustworthy? How can I love my colleagues and support them? How can I lead More Precious faithfully and with total dependency? How can I encourage my siblings in their faith and their own spheres? How can I use my finances to grow the kingdom? How would God have me use my gifts and skills at work every day?
At the moment, our life has a particular focus on hosting people and sharing our home and meals, because I think this is something God has called us into for this season. Community can be difficult to build in London, and we are so passionate about welcoming people into our flat (little as it is!) and giving them a sense of God's heart for community and relationship – and ultimately pointing them to our heavenly home.
All of it comes down to remembering what Jesus did for me when he died on the cross. The more I realise what an immense act of love that was, the more I am moved to love others and change the culture around me to reflect a little bit of the kingdom. It's not always as simple as that, because I am still flawed and inconsistent (and we all get hungry, right!) but more than anything, I want my life to point to my hope in Jesus.
What is the one big thing that you think God is teaching you at the moment? How is He challenging and encouraging you?
Isaiah 27:2-6 is a passage I've been totally blown away by this week. It's a beautiful picture of God as the gardener of our lives: watering us continually, guarding us and watching over us. Verse 6 talks about 'taking root and blossoming' so that the world will be filled with fruit.
Through this, I think God is teaching me that only when I am fully rooted in His Word and take time to be in His presence – only then will I bear fruit and do His good works. It's been a message I'm trying to press into every morning and throughout my day, rooting myself in His truths and promises.
When life is busy, how do you make time and space to focus on God? How do you try to keep Him at the centre?
Similar to the above: I'm realising more and more the power of rooting myself in the Word of God, and battling in prayer every morning: asking God for protection over my mind, my relationships, my marriage, and everything that the day ahead holds.
When I'm really busy, and I feel like I have absolutely no time - this actually just becomes all the more vital, otherwise I burn out and forget the reason behind all I'm striving to do. Unfortunately, I am usually very sleepy and distracted in the mornings, so I literally have to clear the kitchen table and lay out my Bible and notebook the night before, to force myself into action first thing!
Also, once a month I try to burrow myself away in a coffee shop for an hour or two with my Bible and notebook, writing down my prayers, hopes and dreams and giving them up to God. It focuses me on what really matters.
Looking back at the last year, what encourages you about how God's been at work in your life?
About a year ago, James and I got married and had the song Ever Be at our wedding. One of the lines speaks to God's character: 'faithful You have been, and faithful You will be.' Over this past year, more than anything, I have been absolutely blown away by how consistently faithful God is.
I see His faithfulness in the big things: the provision of a new job; the support and resources we've received for More Precious; a husband who champions me and encourages me to grow; and friends, family, colleagues, mentors and a church who have invested a huge amount in me. But His faithfulness is also there in the more 'background' things which can be easier to forget about (but for which I want to be continually thankful): food on the table; a roof over my head; the gift of health; a country where we can live in peace – the list goes on.
The Bible is really one big story about God's faithfulness – it is pointed to throughout (i.e. Deuteronomy 7:9, 1 Corinthians 1:9, Psalm 119:90) and though I get frustrated and disappointed by the challenges of life, and frustrated by my own heart (prone to wander), I am relentlessly grateful for a faithful God who is everything He promises.
Lucy founded More Precious in 2013 whilst studying at Durham University, and has had the humbling experience of overseeing its growth ever since. She is passionate about communicating what it means to be in relationship with God to girls and young women.

Is your internet business set up for the mobile era? If not, now's the time to change that, because, like it or not, the mobile era is upon us. For the majority of us, a mobile phone has become just about as indispensable as our personal identification or credit cards, but, until now, they've been mainly used as a communication device.
But, that's all changed, and here are 5 reasons why.
1. The Numbers Don't Lie
Market intelligence firm IDC predicts that, by the end of 2010, over a billion mobile devices will have a web connection, which is about the same number of PCs, but the growth rate is two-and-a-half times faster than PCs. This means it's a necessity that web sites be optimised for smaller mobile screens, and not just an afterthought. And the time to do that is now.
2. Mobile Banking and Financial Transactions
Most banks and financial institutions either already offer mobile services or are in the process of doing so, and for good reason. In a recent survey conducted by George Mason Universities Mercatus Centre, it was found that banks can increase the number of new customers by 60 percent if they offer mobile solutions.
Also, mobile banking offerings were found to be the determining factor when new customers chose a bank, beating out branch location, online banking and ATM access. As consumers get more comfortable performing banking transactions on mobile devices, making mobile purchases will become just as comfortable, as more micro-payment options are made available by companies like Google.
See: Mobile Banking: What are the Advantages and Disadvantages?
As long as there are consumers, there's the chance to make money, and the opportunity to make money is what pushes new development and innovation more than any other factor.
3. The Introduction of the Droid
The arrival of the Droid meant that the iPhone finally had some competition, especially when combined with the 3G coverage offered by Verizon and their enormous mobile subscriber base. Using mobile web is getting much faster and Droid raises the bar for all mobile manufacturers, which means more competition, which should lead to lower prices, allowing more people to join the mobile web revolution.
Oneplus 3T is one of the best android phones on the market, however, consumers have reported that they have had to have various repairs since owning the phone. For Oneplus 3T repairs in London, see this website.
4. Social networking
Social networking is not just a trend; it's a growing global and cultural phenomenon, which lends itself perfectly to mobile, being a natural platform for communication. People connect with each other through various social networks, which also provide a viable method of marketing goods and services to people regardless of their location. It's probably not too much of a stretch to state that the majority of people using social networks do so via their mobile devices. See more information.
5. Growing Number of Affordable Apps
By the end of 2018, it's expected that there will be around 700,000 iPhone apps and over 600,000 Android apps, with more on the way as app development gets cheaper. Some companies are able to build apps or provide the tools to allow users to build their own for less than $100. The availability of apps is a major driving force in the adoption of smartphone technology it's like walking around with a host of different businesses in your pocket and represents a great way to build brand equity, since apps are completely opt-in. Click here for a list of the best app designers.
Obviously, it's not a question of whether the web will go mobile it already is. The main question is, Is your business taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and setting your internet business up for mobile marketing success. Hopefully, the answer is yes; otherwise you'll be missing out on the greatest opportunity since the dot.com boom.
If you're on the fence about whether or not to set up a mobile version of your web site, or aren't sure what you need to do, now could be an opportune time to seek out the services of a UK internet business coach, who can advise you on the best way to go about implementing your mobile marketing campaign. The sooner you go mobile, the better.

"In the last three years, there was no national news regarding Naxal (Maoist) attack on police personnel. Naxalite terror was finished in the state. There are some leaders with 20-25 aides who are in Buda Pahar. Our police personnel have been countering them and I have full faith on police that by December end, we will be able to complete the operation and put an end on Naxalite terror," he said
The state will be free from terrorism and crime from the beginning of 2018, Mr Das said, adding that development cannot happen without peace.
Jharkhand, Bihar, Odisha and Chhattisgarh have jointly undertaken operations to put an end to the Maoist movement, he said.
He said a lot of Maoists and terrorists have surrendered after the state came hard by attaching their properties in the state.
Speaking on the contentious issue of religious conversion, he said: "We are in a democracy and no religion should take advantage of poverty to expand itself."
Mr Das also accused "some anti-national elements" of fomenting tensions and inciting tribals in the state.

VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Mentoring inner-city youths is hardly the most obvious way to prepare for working at the Vatican, but Father Geno Sylva says the lessons he learned in a low-income New Jersey community have served him abundantly well in his current job as an official at the Pontifical Council for Promoting New Evangelization.
Ordained in 1993, the New Jersey native has long had a passion for spreading the Gospel. He worked as a teacher, chaplain and president at DePaul Catholic High School in the Diocese of Paterson, as well as a mentor at Young Prophets, a program for inner-city teenagers there.
"Those wonderful years in Paterson taught me that the first step in the new evangelization is listening, truly listening to the other and not simply waiting for a break to respond," he said. "It is in listening that trust and credibility are gained, both of which are necessary before one can propose anything to another person."
The new evangelization is a project, launched by Blessed John Paul II and continued by his successors, that seeks to revive the faith in traditionally Christian but increasingly secular countries, particularly in the West.
Father Sylva spent three years studying theology in Rome, returning to his diocese in 2008, and two years later established St. Paul Inside the Walls, a center whose focus he describes as engaging people in a dialogue with the Gospel and calling them to be evangelizers themselves.
Among the center's outreach activities, one that Father Sylva remembers as especially inspirational combined reading Scripture with a 12-step program in the tradition of Alcoholics Anonymous.
"Each Sunday morning, people from near and far, those who were either battling with an addiction or journeying with someone confronting an addiction, gathered together to reflect upon one of the 12 steps through the lens of sacred Scripture," he said. "The depth of reflection and discussion, the complete personal transparency and the desire to be healed in Christ made each of these gatherings a true time of blessing in my own life and journey of faith."
During a pilgrimage to Rome in 2011, Father Sylva met the president of the council for the new evangelization, Archbishop Rino Fisichella, who hired him the next year as the office's designated English-speaking official.
The council has overseen many of the activities of the 2012-13 Year of Faith, and is increasingly focusing its work on catechesis, which Father Sylva says goes "hand in hand" with the new evangelization.
His office also serves pilgrims to Rome by making arrangements for them to go to confession and receive catechesis in their own languages, participate in eucharistic adoration, and visit the tomb of St. Peter.
Father Sylva was specifically responsible for organizing the "Evangelium Vitae" (Gospel of Life) celebration in June 2013, which celebrated pro-life efforts around the world, and a Year of Faith event for seminarians and novices the following month.
The Year of Faith will conclude Nov. 24, but the council's work will continue, he says, noting that Pope Francis has emphasized the importance of the missionary service that is the office's focus.
"The idea of going out of our churches, out of ourselves, and engaging with other people" is central to the pope's message and to the new evangelization, Father Sylva said, summing up their common task as that of "inviting people to come to know Christ."

One and Three Chairs
One and Three Chairs is a piece created by Joseph Kosuth in 1956. This is conceptual art. Meaning that it is based entirely on the concept the artist wishes to portray rather than a mode of presentation. Kosuth presents the viewer with a photo of a chair, an actual three dimensional chair, and the dictionary definition of the word chair. As a viewer you must ask yourself, "What is real here? Without a definition, would one know what a chair was?" This type of art is also referred to as the science of signs.
Conceptual art does not always have a physical presentation. It is often only an exchange of ideas or instructions. This kind of art is not meant to be bought or sold. It is only done for the sake of exchanging ideas.

Nova Daly Discusses Solar Trade Dispute with China at CSIS Panel
Nova J. Daly, a senior public policy advisor in Wiley Rein's International Trade Practice, was quoted by MarketWatch in its coverage of an August 5 panel discussion on the growing market for solar energy.
Trade disputes with China have been a big concern for U.S. solar manufacturers, Mr. Daly said during the panel, which was organized by the CSIS Energy and National Security Program. The U.S. has imposed two rounds of tariffs so far on Chinese solar imports in response to China's harmful export subsidies, he said.
The end goal for domestic solar manufacturers "has always been to have a U.S. market that is fair and equitable and based on competition that is not WTO illegal," Mr. Daly said during his presentation. "I think all companies agree that given that level playing field, you are in a position to compete fairly with the best innovations."
Trade policies should "make sure you don't have distortions that take away from the marketplace," he said.

My Work in Elle Decor and Dwell!/
|Lumens in Dwell Magazine, March 2011
OK, it is not quite the ten page editorial spread....but I am still very excited to be working with Lumens Light and Living in creating their newest ad campaigns featuring gorgeous lighting as well as furnishings and accessories available through the Lumens website and store.
The ad above can be seen in the March 2011 issue of Dwell magazine! I am lucky to have worked over the years with the creative forces behind Lumens Light and Living, owners Ken Plumlee and Peter Weight. Ken and Peter have guided Lumens into an international resource for the very best in residential and commercial lighting fixtures emphasizing contemporary, but providing the best in classic design as well. And if you are looking for creative modern furnishings, fun accessories, area rugs and bedding, Lumens has so much to discover. Best part? Lumens originated right here in Sacramento where I get to visit their flagship store all of the time. (Perfect for meetings with clients when we are choosing their lighting!)
So...what was my role in the creation of the latest advertisements? I had the fun of creating the sets and pulling together all of the elements in the "rooms" you see. For the ad above, I created a "loft" atmosphere by using a brick wall and wood plank floor for the backdrop. I decided on a black and white palette using a contemporary bed from Blu Dot, and bed linens from Dwell Studio. Tom Dixon designed the Screw Table incorporating a Carrara marble top and caste iron base. I love how the height can be adjusted by turning the top one way or the other. The Cubist Throw on the bed is also by Dwell Studio. And the main event? The lighting : The Tear Drop Multi-Light Pendant is by Sonneman.
On Set
Perhaps the most fun part of the project was the photo shoot itself. It was a blast working with Fred and Elizabeth from Photographer Link getting the shots just right. And there were lots of laughs along the way (especially the tree incident...see below).
|Fred hard at work
Oh yes....the "tree". Owner, Ken and I decided we needed a bit of life in the picture....so we made a tree...what do you think?
Our "Tree"
It all came together with the artful expertise of Lumens Creative Director, Drew Newbold, who put together all of the ad graphics and web "article" you see below:
Lumens Article, on the Web
To get a better look and find out details about every item in the shot, click on over HERE.
The advertisement in Elle Decor was for the Kiev Pendants by Tech Lighting. I think these pendants are classic and fashionable....sort of like the perfect little black dress. So I created a space to match!
Lumens in Elle Decor, March 2011
I chose a white lacquer desk from Blu Dot, and black Papyrus Chairs from Kartell to furnish a "home office". Wood Paneling on the walls is the backdrop for the Francois Ghost Mirror by Philippe Starck for Kartell. Jonathan Adler frame adds a spot of color.
Here is a little behind the scenes look at all of the little tricks it takes to get the perfect "shot":
Behind the Scenes
A few of the details behind the shoot: the chair in back is placed on lifts so we can see it in the final shot. Pendants are hung from a boom so they can be moved as needed. As you can see below, we moved them forward so the perspective in the shot would be correct.
Strange Perspective
You can also see how far out the sliding shelf had to come to appear like it was just a little bit out in the photo below. And to have the ability to place the mirror properly in the shot, we put it on a tripod so it would be easy to move.
Camera Angle
This ad is in the March 2011 issue of Elle Decor right before the main Editorial section! (I am one page away....grin!).
And here is the ad Article which you can see better HERE:
"It takes a village" to create the final product: Myself, Owner Ken Plumlee, Fred and Elizabeth for the Photography, Drew Newbold the Creative Director, and the coordinator of everyone's efforts, the amazing and tireless Kathy VanVelzer, Director of Marketing. I have to say, I could not ask for a better group to work with.
Many thanks to Ken for asking me to be a part of the team, and for everyone else who made the experience so rewarding!
Keep a look out for the April issues of Elle Decor and Dwell...there are more to come!
And hop on over to Lumens and take a look around!

Ashley Trobridge is North Island Area Manager in the Genetics team for Zoetis. She helps sheep and beef breeders integrate DNA technology into their breeding programs. Working all over the North Island Ashley gets to meet with a diverse range of great progressive breeders and she gets to see a lot of our beautiful countryside.
Ashley grew up on a tobacco and coffee farm in a small rural area in Zimbabwe called Chipinge, this is where her passion for farming and rural communities stems from. Due to political unrest Ashley's family and her left their farm and moved to Auckland in 2001. "Going to highschool in Auckland was great but I don't think the career opportunities in Agriculture were emphasised at all which I think is a bit of a shame." Ashley believes that even if you have grown up in the city, there are great career opportunities in the Agricultural Industry for both men and women, they just need to be promoted a bit more!
Ashley then went on to study a Bachelor of Agricultural Science at Massey University in Palmerston North, which she found fantastic. "The course, the social life and the many long term friends and connections I made, all made for a great experience."
After graduating Ashley spent a character building mustering season as a 'jillaroo' in the Northern Territory of Australia. Long days mustering, in the yards, fencing, doing bore runs. Ashley then spent 3 years working for Ballance Agri-Nutrients as a Field consultant in the lower Rangitikei. "I absolutely loved the people in this area as well as being involved in farmers sustainable nutrient management programs."
Ashley then went travelling for a year and a half, around Europe and South East Asia and came back to a dream job working in the exciting space of animal genetics. "I can't complain at all with the opportunities that have been presented to me by being involved in New Zealand Agriculture Industry." What an exciting part of agriculture to be in Ashley. We are glad to have you as part of our AgWomen community.

Our online wig store provides a stunning collection of wigs for sale. Our carefully curated provides quality hair pieces in every price range. From top notch designers like Raquel Welch, Jon Renau, Noriko and Revlon, you are sure to find a style that speaks to you. Our wig store offers something for everyone! Shop our quality wigs for sale today!
Why Our Wig Store is Special
Headcovers isn't just another online retailer. We were founded with heart, soul, and a mission - to provide comfort to cancer patients and individuals experiencing hair loss. Our story began in 1989 when our founder, hairstylist Carol Galland, was diagnosed with Stage II breast cancer. When she lost her hair due to chemo, she was appalled at the wig options available and vowed that, if she survived, she would make the world of wigs a better place.
The products at our wig store aren't decided on by numbers or passing trends. Each wig is carefully selected for quality and timeless style. We know that illness is hard enough without the anxiety of coping with hair loss, so we're here to help you thrive on your way back to health.
The Basics of Buying a Wig
Though it may seem overwhelming at first, finding the perfect wig isn't all that different from shopping for a new pair of pants. Our How to Buy and Wear a Wig guide shares essential tips for getting it right, from how to measure your head (we promise, it's less than rocket science) to the difference between synthetic and human hair wigs. We even have a Wig Hairstyle Guide for Different Face Shapes to help you find the most flattering hairstyle based on the geometry of your face. If you'd rather talk to a person than a screen, call us at 1-800-264-HATS (4287). We're here at our Houston wig store, ready and waiting to help.
Full Coverage and Beyond
At Headcovers we know that each person is unique in their search for the perfect hairstyle, and a one-wig-fits-all approach just won't do. That's why our wig store offers a multitude of options beyond the standard full coverage wig. Talk to your doctor about what kind of hair loss to expect. Then, head over to our Wigs vs. Hair Toppers guide to figure out which of our wigs for sale will serve you best.
What are Cap Types and Why Do They Matter?
If this is your first time buying a wig, there's going to be some terminology that you're unfamiliar with, and we're guessing that "cap type" might fit that bill. The cap of a wig is basically the headpiece that the hair is attached to. At Headcovers, our wigs for sale fall into four categories - classic, monofilament, lace front, or hand tied. Generally, the wigs get more expensive as you progress through that list due to how intricate the hair attachment method is. Learn more about Different Types of Wigs to find out which cap type will be best for you.
Will Insurance Pay for My Wig?
Many insurance companies will pay for a wig that's needed for medical reasons. However, getting it covered is all about terminology. Be sure to ask your insurance company if they cover "cranial prosthesis" (insurance jargon for wig). If they do, we'll provide you with a special receipt to submit with your claim. In the past, our customers have been able to get their cranial- er, wigs, reimbursed with no issues. Learn more here.
How to Make Your Wig More Comfortable
We could talk about lace caps and special construction methods all day, but the reality is that a bare scalp can be extremely sensitive, especially if chemo is involved. After you've found a new head of hair in our wig store, head on over to our accessories shop to check out our therapeutic cushion band and luxurious bamboo wig caps. Also remember that it's OK to give your wig a rest every once in a while. For low key days, we've got hats, head wraps, and turbans to help switch up the routine.

People have become more responsible. They recycle, re-use, opt for no straws and in the water-scarce regions around the country are doing all that we can to save water.
Responsible travel is a trend many travellers have now adopted.
Airbnb recently highlighted how easy it is to be more environmentally conscious while travelling – or even just in your hometown.
Take Airbnb Social Impact Experiences as an example. Instead of googling and looking up a number of ways to give back to a community or help out at an NPO, you can book meaningful experiences that directly benefit communities and organisations straight from Airbnb. Social Impact Experiences have been designed for non-profit organisations who receive 100% of the income earned through Airbnb. These experiences directly benefit the organisations and the communities/causes that they serve.
Not only are these experiences good for communities and the environment, but they are fun too. The upcycling with an artist in Langa is perfect for those who enjoy creating things and doing art. For this experience, travellers will learn how single-use plastics can be used to create items that can then used in everyday life – a wallet, some jewellery, a bag. During this experience, you not only interact with Heath Nash, your experience host, but you also engage with others who help out in his studio. You will meet Langa locals and learn more about who they are and where they come from.
For those who enjoy the outdoors and sea life, an AfriOceansExperience is definitely one for you to try. Hosts from AfriOceans recently shared the story of their organisation and it's clear that every person that books their experience is directly contributing towards important shark and ocean research. In 2017, the organisation was on the verge of closing its doors due to lack of funding, but since listing their penguin encounters on Airbnb, they have been able to raise enough money to keep them going.

SAN DIEGO – (Wire Service Report) – Gregory Polanco and Nelson Cruz hit solo home runs, and the Dominican Republic improved its chances of reaching the World Baseball Classic's semifinals by posting a 3-0 win over Venezuela on Thursday in San Diego. Edinson Volquez struck out six in 4 1/3 scoreless innings as the Dominican starter. Five relievers completed the eight-hit shutout. Jeurys Familia allowed two hits in the ninth but struck out three to earn the save.
The defending champion Dominican team, a 3-1 loser to Puerto Rico on Tuesday, improved to 1-1 in the second-round pool. Venezuela, which lost its pool opener 4-2 to Team USA, slipped to 0-2 and is all but eliminated.
Polanco opened the scoring with a blast off Venezuela starter Jhoulys Chacin in the fifth inning. It was the only run Chacin allowed in 4 1/3 innings.
Robinson Cano hit an RBI single in the seventh inning, and Cruz added an insurance run in the eighth by homering off Arcenio Leon.
Team USA faces Puerto Rico on Friday and the Dominican Republic on Saturday. Puerto Rico opposes Venezuela on Saturday. The top two teams from the pool will join Japan and the Netherlands in the semifinals next week at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles
