MEDFORD — John Veneziano did not have to look too far to choose his base of operations when he began to build what is now one of the largest privately-owned residential and commercial real estate firms in the region.
Andrew Realty, whose main office is still located in the heart of Medford Square at 12 High St., has grown from five agents and one office when Veneziano acquired the former Andre Realty in 1992, to 94 agents and nine offices.
In addition, Veneziano, a Medford native, has transformed the operation to an essential "one-stop shopping" site by adding "all the necessary service required for a real estate transaction." At Andrew Realty consumers can get mortgages, insurance, legal assistance, Home Warranty products, and other types of services.
Veneziano has long been involved in a number of charitable and civic endeavors for decades, including holiday and one-time events that promote the city and all it has to offer.
He has been a strident supporter and prime mover in the Medford Chamber of Commerce for many years along with chairing the Chevalier Theatre Commission. Under his leadership the commission made a bold and historic move when it sought out and endorsed the city's hiring of a full-time, professional management firm for the 60-year-old theater.
Veneziano described his role in bringing Blumenreich Presents, which managed the Wilbur Theater in Boston, to Medford.
"I was attending a Chevalier meeting in which former Mayor Michael McGlynn had been attending. I expressed my concern that the theater was being underutilized. He saw the passion I had for the success and future of Chevalier and asked if I would join the current Chevalier Board and work on assisting the board on bringing in an Independent company to take over the management of the theater and shows," Veneziano said. "With the continued support of current Mayor Stephanie Muccini Burke and her staff, the board and I were able to work with the city to bring in the Wilbur Theater management group."
Veneziano is also bringing his passion for his city to his new role as president of the chamber of commerce.
"The Medford Chamber of Commerce means business and I would like to see its membership grow with the many large and small businesses in the city," he said. "Many businesses do not realize the work behind the scenes that takes place to assist the businesses every day in issues such as parking, permitting situations, and events to increase activity in the squares."

Although the wedding festivities were over, the weekend most certainly was not. I arrived home to Tera after the reception and was so happy to be able to spend a couple days with her. Sunday was the usual: Reality LA and adventures in the City of Angels. After church I took her to Caffe Primo. Definitely one of my new favorites. We spent the afternoon exploring the city, lounging at the Bonaventure, and eating our way through downtown LA...lunch at Primo, ice cream and boba at the Grand Central Market, and I was helpless to a Bavarian Pretzel at Bottega Louie. Each bite into this almond croissant was a tiny glimpse of France. I thought about it for the rest of the week. France and the croissant.
Tera had to test out the indoor running track.
If there's one thing I knew Tera would love, it was the funicular at Angel's Plaza. I think the image below definitely confirms that.
I loved sharing this part of LA with Tera! Downtown is one of my favorite areas, especially on Sundays. I know I've said it before, but it is so incredibly serene on Sunday afternoons. Nothing like it is during the week when businesspeople are bustling about.

Getting the Foundation of Every Community Stronger- John Eilermann St Louis Shows How
Those who have initiated the formation of a community or have shown interest in building one has claimed that there are generally four main pillars behind the formation of a community- identity, trust, participation, and rewards. Just keep repeating these four processes over and over, and John Eilermann St Louis believes that the community will start forming organically. Scaling of a community comes much after proper establishment, but the amount of effort required for forming a community can actually prove how difficult the job is.
Step By Step Processes in Which a Community Is-Ought to Grow- John Eilermann St Louis Shows
Phase 1: When the Foundation of the Community Gets Built
This according to the experts is the stage where the core committee is formed and based on how strong this growth is; the sense of communal living can be established. It starts with just a group of people meeting regularly after work or during their leisure and enjoying each other's accompaniment. The bond starts to grow there and hence the community starts forming at a very nascent stage. So, if there are a couple of people who have even given a thought of forming a community gets to know who could be the probable members of the community. And just when this is being chalked out, the next step is to extend the membership.
Phase 2: Earning the Trust of the Members- A Tough Task to Deal With
The community that you plan of forming has not formed yet, so there's no way these hand counted members can trust your community at all. So the next obvious task is to build trust among these members and it won't be easy for you at all. How well you can connect with these people will ultimately help you in gaining their trust. There must be some value which is at the core of formation of these communities, and imparting them well to the members might help you out. So even if the members do not trust each other, they can at least trust the reason why the community has been formed.
Phase 3: Regularize the Participation of the Active Members
So now there are at least a few who trusts the motif of the community and have even shown their interest in participating in multiple events that might be organized. They not only stay at the receiving end but also might have some feedbacks to the ideas proposed. The moment you start trusting the members, they will automatically start trusting you, and it is in the communal existence of the entire group that they grow stronger.
Nothing in this world comes for free, and obviously, the active members will expect something and hence it is your responsibility to start rewarding them. John Eilermann St Louis believes that it is okay to make mistakes but learning from the mistakes makes enough sense. Extend each and every chance that the community gives you and work on the scopes. Experience will never defy in life.

I'm about to tell you guys something I have never confessed before.
[Cue vulnerability]
I've always had a negative relationship with food. It wasn't until I had my daughter and totally changed my eating habits that I realized just HOW BAD that relationship was. We're talking eating-disorder-bad here.
Yep. I used to have an eating disorder.
I have never said those words out loud—not even to my husband. I knew in my heart that the way I viewed food (and my body) wasn't healthy, but now, looking back, I can see that what I suffered with was a true illness.
Now, let me clarify. There are many different types of "eating disorders". Although I never purged my food (bulimia) or starved myself to the point of being fatally thin (anorexia), I have dealt with constant ups and downs in my eating patterns in order to stay "skinny"—trying so hard to fit into a body that I wasn't even happy with because I was battling a low self-esteem and dysmorphic body image as well.
At one time, I would focus so hard on eating low-calorie, low-fat, sugar-free foods that I wasn't taking in nearly enough calories to maintain a healthy weight. (I remember some days only eating around 1,000 calories while being on my feet for 12 hours at work. Yikes.)
At other times, I definitely fell into the Binge Eating Disorder category, eating when I wasn't hungry just because it was there or if I was having a rough day. Then I would tack on some additional cardio to try to burn off what I ate during those binge sessions. It's a viscous cycle, I'm telling you.
So what changed, you ask? I swear, it was like a light bulb went off one day. I was 6-months postpartum, unhappy with my post-baby body, battling mild postpartum depression, and just feeling frail and WEAK. I had been following a few inspiring nutritional gurus on Instagram, and started looking into what this "clean eating" stuff was all about.
Long story short, I was intrigued. I started doing my own research about how the body uses food for fuel and what types of food could make it function at it's best. I figured I would try to cut some of the crappy things out of my diet little by little and replace them with nutrient-dense, whole foods.
Once I started doing this, I noticed an immediate surge in energy. The depression started to disappear, and I began to feel less "foggy". I was like, "Hmm…there might actually be something to this clean-eating lifestyle!"
Next, I had to deal with the issue of calorie-obsession. I had counted calories for years and always been very strict with myself. My line-of-thinking was "calories in vs calories out". If I ate less than I burned, I wouldn't gain weight, so I always aimed for below my basil metabolic rate (the amount of calories your body uses while at rest). While this is true in theory, you can be eating total JUNK, stay within your caloric goal, and look unhealthy and feel like JUNK.
Fast forward to a few months later. Now that I was eating more nutrient-dense foods, I found that I didn't need to count calories. As long as I was eating wholesome foods, making sure to eat every few hours, and keeping my meals balanced (meaning good amounts of fats, carbs, and protein with each), my body was taking care of itself--and LOVING the extra fuel I was giving it. My metabolism sored, my body leaned out (in a healthy way, as it was getting rid of all the built-up toxins), and I just felt GOOD.
Slowly, I started to ignore the calories that were on nutrition labels on food and just focus on the nutrients it provided (fat, carbs, and protein) and what ingredients was in it. If you've ever struggled with an eating disorder (not to mention, Type A personality—helluuurrrr), you know this is a huge mental battle. Just take it one day at a time, one meal at a time.
I am proud to say that I now I don't even look at calories. While I do track my food on My Fitness Pal to ensure I am getting my macronutrient requirement to meet my goals of building lean muscle, I don't ever look at my logged meals and think "Ugh. That was too many calories. I need to eat less at dinner." I don't "punish" myself for eating meals higher in calories. If it's healthy and balanced, I'm gonna eat it, dang it! With that said, I do like to take breaks from tracking my food to allow myself to intuitively eat. I find this helps me not slip back into old habits.
Am I perfect? Um, NO. Definitely not. I most certainly have days when old demons come back to haunt me…I may binge a little more, eat when I'm not hungry to deal with stress or emotions, and then look in the mirror and feel defeated because I knew I shouldn't have allowed myself to give in to the Binge Monster.
Overcoming an eating disorder isn't an overnight deal. I'm a constant work in progress. The important thing is that I acknowledge these feelings, pray for strength to push them aside, and then remind myself that tomorrow is a new day.
For once in my life, I am fueling my body and not fighting it.
And it's SO. DANG. FREEING, y'all.
Thank you for letting me pour my heart out. I became a personal trainer because I wanted to help other people get fit. In the process, I have learned more about myself than ever! I hope that someone finds hope in this post.
[If you or anyone you know suffers from similar feelings, or perhaps they do show signs of other eating disorders, please go to http://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/find-help-support to find help in your area or talk to someone.]

Video: How Can Absolute Return Strategies Fit In a Portfolio?
Walter Davis, Donna Wilson, and Danielle Singer from Invesco return for another video on absolute return strategies, this time focusing on how these strategies can fit into a portfolio. Mr. Davis sets off the discussion by asking Ms. Wilson what kind of returns can clients expect from an absolute-returns strategy. She says that the Invesco Quantitative Strategies Market Neutral Fund aims for "very attractive, positive returns in most environments" and that targets "investment-grade bond-like risk." Ms. Singer says that her global macro fund actually has an explicit risk-reward target: "3-month Treasury bills plus 5% annually." Understanding the risk-reward proposition of a strategy can help investors determine how to allocate to the strategy.

The rain is thankfully returning the week. To wake up to puddles and wet ground lifted our spirits and we are hopeful for even more on the horizon. Two more lambs were born yesterday, leaving only one pregnant ewe left. Her belly is quite round and she looks very ready to give birth. We cleaned out beds in the tunnels last week to plant lettuce, prize choy, and more peas.

Nutmeg Maple Butter Cookies, from smitten kitchen.com
- 1 cup (2 sticks or 226 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (118 ml) maple syrup (Grade B is ideal here, but the original recipe suggested that Grade A with a few drops of maple extract would also work)
- 1 large egg yolk
- 3 cups (375 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg or 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (because it packs more tightly)
- 1 1/4 teaspoon flaky salt or 1 teaspoon table salt
Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. With mixer running, add yolk and slowly drizzle in maple syrup. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, nutmeg and salt. Add to butter mixture and mix until just combined. The dough will be in loose clumps. Gather them together into a tight packet with a large piece of plastic wrap and chill dough for at least two hours (and up to four days) until firm.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a few baking sheets with parchment paper. I like to roll out a quarter to half the dough at a time, leaving the rest in the fridge. On a floured counter, roll dough to 1/8-inch thickness and cut into desired shapes.
Arrange cookies on baking sheets and bake for 8 to 11 minutes each, or until lightly golden at the edges. Transfer to racks to cool. Cookies keep in airtight containers for a week, or in the freezer until their dance number is up.

Did God forget
To paint the sky today?
It seems so cold,
Clouded, and gray.
Sweet sunrise came
But startled my stare,
For my eyes failed
To focus on a sky so bare;
Sunlight shone
Through the clouds,
But it revealed no warmth
Nor color proud.
The melancholy morning
Could not deny
The dismal details
Of this dreary sky;
Noon knew not when
To rise nor what to do,
For it relied too greatly
On the midday's blue;
Afternoon appeared
And tried to alter
The sky, but the gray
Refused to falter;
Evening approached
While day said goodbye,
But the falling sun
Could not affect the sky.
Night now threatens
The day's sky to take,
But, suddenly,
Its colors awake-
To the ends of the earth
The colors stretch and run,
Wishing the world a good night
Before the setting of the sun.
I think God just remembered
To paint the sky today;
For tomorrow's color
I will have to pray-
A vibrant sky is my cry
For now and forever;
Though, I suppose,
It is better late than never.

I love the alliteration in "Melancholy Morning." So refreshing to see some new @SerenaLantha work today! This piece reminded me of a wonderful Joni Mitchell song... you can read the lyrics here: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/jonimitchell/chelseamorning.html, but I recommend listening to it here:
5:36 pm
Bravo @SerenaLantha Last things first............ You have such an affinity for writing an absolutely perfect ending to all your work........... And I've come to expect that when reading your poetry.... You never disappoint in that regard..................... This poem reads a rhyme that is flawless start to finish. Spiritual with a reckoning for a new day after gloomy gray skies................. And did I mention spot on with the ending................. Reading this poem capped my day with a full cup of well written verse.....................
Semper Fi
Write on @SerenaLantha ...... write on

Thanks, everyone! @Forgewright God giving a wink....well, now that is an interesting idea! I may have to think about that one!
@craigb12 Thanks! And haha, maybe the decorating is just going a little slowly...
@tlhopkinson Cool song! I don't think I had ever heard of her before, but I can see the similarity. And, yes, I feel plenty of guilt for not writing or coming on more regularly... But I am slowly getting some poetry ideas so hopefully that will change.
@Killerelite I hope my endings will continue to meet your expectations! I had actually had the first two lines in my head for probably six months but never wrote a poem for them until now. Thanks for all your kind words!

LevelUp is a mobile payment service app, which the White Label team designs customized apps for various merchants ranging from quick service restaurants to cafés. Four clients showcased here are Gregory's Coffee, How Do You Roll, Heine Brothers' Coffee, and Num Pang. I have designed the initial pages of splash, sign up/register, and payment/rewards screens, as well as the full screen flows for iOS and Android for the apps to be released. Menu is also designed for each of the clients in HTML, which is then viewed on mobile.
Gregory's Coffee
Gregory's Coffee is a coffee franchise in NYC that's seen much success. They serve selected high-quality coffee and baked goods. The franchise is owned by a person named Greg who is young and known for being fashionable. Hence, style and design aesthetics are very important to him and his brand. In order to meet the client's needs, I paid extra careful attention to the visual details and his branding in elements such as the iconography, background/splash screen, and color scheme. After the app was released, Gregory's Coffee had a significant increase in its sales and a lot of its loyal customers, which they call as "Gregulars" have migrated to the app version of their loyalty program.

Marketing Collateral
How Do You Roll
How Do You Roll is a 13 location sushi franchise based out of Austin, Texas. They had celebrated their 5th year anniversary in October 2013, but their marketing/ creative team is super young. Being "innovative and ahead of the curve" is very important to them!

Choose A Career As A Licensed Vocational Nurse
How about a launch into a personal and financial rewarding career, building a career in the medical field as a LVN (Licensed Vocational Nurse) or LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse)? Are you ready to benefit from the multiple advantages and satisfactions from this noble and morally career that brings major financial benefits, in order to provide yourself a financially stable future? Did you know that the average annual salary for licensed vocational nurses revolves around $35,000, and that the administrators earn an average $45,000? And we can continue the enumeration by mentioning that Clinical Nurse Specialists earn around $40,000, nurse practitioners earn an average $70,000, and Nurse Anesthetists earn up to $110,000 a year.
Who wouldn't like to have an honorable job that can bring so much money? In order to enter the medical environment, first you've got to run a LNV program. The LNV program provides its appliers the opportunity to develop certain technical skills improved by a set of interpersonal abilities. LNV programs offer twelve months to two years training in anatomy and physiology, medications, and practical patient care. Being a high demand for nurses not only in medical institutions, but in schools and clinics, worldwide, the LNV program certifies graduates in performing medical procedures under the supervision of either a professional registered nurse or a physician, allowing them to administrate most medication, excluding IV push medications, to perform measurements such as blood pressure or temperature, to maintain patient records, or even helping with patient-care planning, surgery, first aid, CPR, sterile and isolation procedure and basic care.
In the present there are about 700,000 persons employed as licensed practical and licensed vocational nurses in In order to apply successfully to a job in the medical field you have to graduate a LNV program and to have a clean criminal record as well. Then you must pass state or national boards (such as NCLEX-PN in the ) and renew your license periodically.
Running a LVN program you will develop good practical skills and abilities regarding nursing care, administrating medical treatments, identifying, reporting and registering patients' symptoms, as well as fulfilling various therapeutic and recuperative methods.
Practically, the LVN program gives you the opportunity to work in the best healthcare establishments in the world, earning good money and building a brilliant career in the medical field, because in addition to the financial rewarding, a career as a vocational nurse is on a long term and provides you a more stable future. Even more, the shortage of vocational nurses is expected to double or even triple in the following years, the opportunity to work as a graduate from a LNV program seems to grow continuously, rendering a career in the field and a secure financial future.
Make sure you attend a high quality LVN program in order to become completely prepared for the NCLEX-PN examination. The NCLEX-PN (National Council Licensure Examination- Practical Nurse) is a computer-adaptive test of entry-level nursing competence. The exam may include items at all of the cognitive levels.
Recently, among the LVN programs that last three to four semesters, appeared some fast track LVN programs that give students the possibility to pass the exam earlier in order to start building their career.
So, think about your future and your financial stability, as well as building a career that gives you the satisfaction of helping people in need.

That's the Turkish way of saying This is Hagia Sophia (or at least, according to google). Roaming in and around this grandeur architecture, I couldn't help but wonder how the people of 6th century built it, and perhaps the same feeling of Mehmet II made him spared the city.
The history, the mistery, and the modern day scafolding that scattered across this monument also made me imagine some Dan Brown's main characters lurking around to find some clues from ancient time.
I think I should create those characters myself…

To Buy Historical or Contemporary Art
When beginning to collect art it's important to consider both contemporary and historical artworks and to distinguish which era is best tailored to your tastes. While contemporary and historic artworks appear to be so different, one is impossible to understand without the other. The same guidelines, historical value and market factors must be taken into consideration for both art genres prior to buying. All things considered, it comes down to a question of your personal taste and motivation for buying art.
1. The difference between historical and contemporary art
Contemporary art is art that is "new". While there is no concrete definition of contemporary art, contemporary art most often refers to artworks created by artists who are currently living and working. Historical art refers to artworks that are older and have an exhibition history; generally they have already been bought, and sold on the primary market at least once, and have been part of a previous artistic movement. The history can add value to an artwork, particularly if the previous owner was a prestigious collector or institution. More often than not, historic art has helped to shape contemporary art into what it currently is.
2. Advantages of Historical Art
Historic art is a safe choice. Its value has been decided and the artwork has played a role in the historical context of art. These artworks often offer a glimpse back in time and will continue to look 'classic' for years to come. The price stability of buying historical artwork is very appealing, as it is unlikely to drop significantly in value. That being said, old master painting sales have decreased over recent years, as contemporary art has become increasingly the preferred choice of art collectors.
3. Advantages of Contemporary Art
Today, contemporary art is more popular than ever and has become a focal point in discussions around current culture. It now regularly graces magazines like Vogue mirroring contemporary culture and society. Contemporary art is relevant to the "now". It represents current artistic practices and innovative styles and techniques. Contemporary artworks are exciting, are in prime condition using modern techniques and have the potential to eventually become important historical artworks. To build a fresh collection that is in alignment with current issues in our society, contemporary art is a good choice.
4. Collecting Contemporary Art
Collecting Contemporary art requires extensive research, tracking down reputable galleries, and a bit of investigating into the overall quality of the artwork. Thanks to Contemporary art's rise in popularity, collecting it has become increasingly profitable and the ability to buy from the primary market (direct artist-to-gallery) often means getting amazing art at lower costs.
Purchasing contemporary art from the primary market also helps the artistic community thrive. Buying new art from galleries directly supports the artist, allowing them to grow in their field and produce more work. It also establishes a relationship with the gallery, who will most likely introduce buyers to other new artists and art events in the community. This cycle allows for local art scenes to continue to grow and prosper.
Honouring the Past and Looking to the Future
There is no right or wrong way to buy art, and overall the process of collecting art should be a fun and exciting investment! There are strategic ways to build a collection that will be the most beneficial to you, the buyer. Whether you are attempting to establish a cutting-edge collection, a gallery repertoire and connections within the artistic community, or simply honouring the skills of old master painters, building a collection should be thought out. Take time, research, and build your collection to suit your individual taste.
Without historic art, contemporary would not be what it is today. It is so important to understand and value the history of art, especially when looking at innovative contemporary pieces. We bring you the latest in contemporary art; artworks that will increase in value and become historic artwork in the future.

Arianee Hits Exciting Milestone With New Technical Demo
We would like to take our community on a test drive of our technical demo so that they can explore exactly how the app works under the hood.
Our goal is to provide end users with a method that enables them to use the Arianee Protocol, without really knowing that blockchain technology or crypto assets are even involved in the process.
Now let's go under the hood.
Arianee alpha runs on the Sokol POA testnet
At the moment, Arianee operates on an Ethereum-based public blockchain under Proof of Authority (POA) consensus. During this preliminary period, we are utilizing the Sokol POA testnet to experiment with our demo, but we plan to deploy our smart contracts onto the Arianee mainnet once it has been fully developed and launched.
An earlier version of the demo was running on the Rinkeby Ethereum testnet. However, the 15-second block size took too much time in circumstances where we were demonstrating how the app works to brands and other interested parties.
The 5-second block size of the Sokol POA tesnet offers a much smoother user experience, as opposed to the 23 seconds it had once taken. Five to seven seconds is just enough time for users not to feel like the system is lagging, ensuring them that the transaction is being effectively registered, secured and confirmed on the blockchain.
Products are Non-Fungible Tokens
Products registered on the Arianee protocol are issued a unique and unreplicable digital identity, rendering them as Smart-Assets. These are known as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), which are in accordance with the ERC-721 standard
Anytime a Smart-Asset is created by the user, they need to pay GAS in the native token (either ETH or POA depending on the network) in order to record this information on the blockchain.
To streamline the user experience, we leverage a "faucet" that, if needed, delivers small amounts of no more than 0.1 Ether to a user's wallet. This faucet is powered by a smart contract, which handles the transfer of the micro-Ether to the end-user. This ether will be distributed from a central authority to the end user's public key — allowing users to have the exact amount of Ether required to publish data onto the blockchain.
In its final release, we do not expect this mechanism to be based on Ether balances. Instead, the user would need to own at least one Arianee certificate in order to be able to complete a transaction-enabling us to identify real users and automatically pay for their transactions fees.
In our demo, the user can create a Smart-Asset to represent their valuable assets. The transaction is then recorded on the blockchain, making it immutable and unique. Once this transaction is validated, the user becomes the sole owner of the asset.
For the purpose of this demo, we added a feature that enables users to create an Arianee digital certificate. When the final product is released, however, this feature will be limited to certified users such as brands and product experts who own ARIA tokens and are authorized to issue these certificates.
Actions on Smart Assets
A Smart-Asset owner is the only person authorized and able to take these actions:
Transferring ownership of the Smart-Asset
A certificate must be converted into a "requestable" certificate in order for it to be transferred. To initiate the transfer, the owner would need to add a "passphrase" to the certificate, which protects it from theft or unauthorized access. This passphrase is hashed with KECCAK256 and then pushed to the corresponding smart contract on the blockchain.
To request this kind of certificate, a new transaction with the passphrase needs to be submitted. Once the transaction is confirmed on the blockchain, the certificate changes ownership and a transfer occurs between the current owner and the user who initiated the transaction.
Asynchronously transferring the Smart-Asset (when a passphrase or a dedicated QR Code is known)
Our platform enables brands to print QR codes embedded with a passphrase onto a paper certificate. This paper can then be placed into the box of a new item (such as a luxury watch) when it is sold.
The new owner of the watch can simply scan the QR code with the Arianee wallet, and BOOM! He/she is now the brand new owner of the certificate, which nobody else will be able to take any action on it without his/her permission.
Destroying the Smart-Asset permanently
We expect the process by which a Smart-Asset can be recorded as destroyed or lost to be implemented in later versions of Arianee, but owners will assuredly have the authorization to take this type of action. Ideally, the brand that has issued the certificate would need to be notified of this action immediately in order to permanently remove the asset from their product registry.
Hybrid Mobile App
We have developed a hybrid mobile app that is available here: http://demo.arianee.org/demo
The app currently implements the UX for these features:
Create a new Ethereum public address (public & private key);
Call upon the faucet in order to request ether;
Connect to the Arianee Protocol smart contract to fetch owned certificates; and
Allow users to manage their certificates (transfer, request & create new certificates)
The app is clearly in an alpha state, but it brings Arianee to life. We hope that this demo gives people an idea as to how our protocol and user experience function, so as to better understand Arianee's vision.

It's all about finishing well. Understand the point-to-point mechanics of how your stuff ends up in your customers' hands. Attach yourself to an order-understand the touch points from the consumer's initial awareness of the product or category through traditional advertising, online search, or social media all the way through the in-store merchandising experience-and see what you learn about potential weak spots in your competitor's assumptions.
Capitalize on opportunity. "Whenever there's an opportunity for foot traffic, from either a season or a competitor, you really have to capitalize on it," "Regardless of whether you get the ad space, you always have an opportunity in stores to promote your product and take advantage of that traffic."
Plan for trouble. Losing a key merchandising opportunity promised by an important partner happens in life and in business, but that doesn't mean you can't make doubly sure that won't happen today or tomorrow. And never stop working just because you've been told you got the ad.
Be ready when trouble arrives. One of the most enduring lessons that an experience teaches is that you should have the resources ready when the opportunity (for the disaster) arises. Having the foresight to train and retain the right resources is half the battle.

Have you ever been to Chamard? I know some people I talk with say they have never been, but do want to go. I say, wait no more!!
While Clinton's very own vineyard is an absolutely gorgeous setting in which to spend an afternoon sipping some fine wine, they offer so much more than just stopping in for a taste of wine. All local businesses should consider having their functions here, they have several great spaces that can accommodate a small group or a large crowd and offer catering to make for a memorable company outing. I have long believed Chamard is the most perfect setting in CT for a wedding that is intimate and elegant. Imagine your wedding guests leaving with a custom crush-your very own wine to celebrate your special day. This is not a slap a custom label on a sub par bottle of wine; you select the grapes the type of barrel for aging, and Chamard will help create custom labels and take care of the bottling. I have been there to their Sunday farmers' market and my husband has been there for brew sessions offered by Stomp and Crush. On a recent visit in their tasting room, I learned of another fabulous event they have going on all year long, a Singer Song Writer & Food Truck series. What better way to spend a Friday evening after work than to wind down with a glass of wine enjoying live music and fun food options? You can learn about their calendar of musicians on their blog here. Interestingly, one of their "Food Truck" vendors is another Clinton business: Franks Wood Fired Pizza Truck. I couldn't believe I had never heard of Frank and his mobile oven after all he lives not far from us and we share similar interest-wood fired pizza-we both have brick oven's in our back yards-who knew? I can't wait to meet Frank and have some fab pizza from his mobile oven. Pizza is not the only thing Franks offers-he can do pigs-I see a a big party in our future. Before you even think of phoning that Green Truck thing keep it LOCAL and call Frank.
Another great thing about both Chamard and Frank, they have been very generous in offering awards to some our winners for this year's Gingerbread Contest! Now there is motivation for you!

Dementia and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: A Long-Term Study
Lundstrom-Yurdin, Leah
MetadataShow full item record
The aim of this paper is to propose a study to be conducted using neuropsychological assessments to determine whether the cause of dementia in elderly adults is due to a neurodegenerative condition or to an untreated mood disturbance as a result of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This study will also examine the short- and long-term efficacies of 4 treatments for PTSD in participants living in an unsafe, unstable region amidst ongoing violence. The participants randomly selected will be 100 Israelis and Palestinians with suspected dementia and diagnoses of past or current PTSD. After baseline neuropsychological assessment, participants will be matched into 4 treatment groups including 3 experimental groups receiving Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT}, Propranalol, or a combination of CBT and Propranalol, and 1 control group receiving a placebo. Follow-up studies will be conducted after 1, 3, and 6 months, and after 1 and 5 years using neuropsychological assessments and the post-traumatic stress disorder interview (PTSD-1}, the Beck Depression Inventory-11 (BDI-11), and the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) to evaluate a neurodegenerative or emotional basis for dementia and to assess the efficacy of each treatment for PTSD.

Bethel Church, Dream Culture, Redding CA (testimony shared from facebook December 2013)
Follower of Jesus in an airport missed her plane so chose to go after some miracles (practicing Victorious Mindsets). She walked up to a recognized actress, prophesied over her and ended up exchanging emails. Next she walked up to the coach of a traveling basketball team and offered to pray for any of the team who need healing. He says… "mmm, no?" She said, "That's ok, if you change your mind I'll just be over here." Next thing some players come over and ask how she heals. She says "Jesus." So she prays for them and they get healed. Another day in the life of a Jesus follower!

As with past iPhone releases, this latest offering is expected to bring a host of hardware improvements and new features. Rumors indicate that the iPhone 6 will come in two new, larger sizes: 4.7 inches, as well as a giant 5.5 inch form factor. It will also likely be faster, offer better battery life, and sport a higher resolution camera (rumored at 13 megapixels) than the current iPhone. Finally, the iPhone 6 will ship with Apple's newest operating system, iOS 8, which will offer goodies such as time lapse photography, mobile payments, and a number of new apps.
One of the most exciting apps for us here at pMD is something called Health, which is expected to allow users to monitor and track a variety of their personal health statistics, including blood pressure, number of steps taken, and possibly even blood oxygen levels! Health will likely integrate with other fitness and nutrition apps. Users will have the option of relaying the information Health gathers to their doctor, allowing the provider to alert their patient if any health issues are detected.
It has also been reported that Apple is working on partnerships with several large EHR vendors. These strategic relationships will allow iPhone 6 apps to sync with providers' electronic health records, allowing patients to see more of their health information in one place.
At pMD, we're always excited to hear about new ways that technology can help health care providers offer better care to their patients - that's how mobile charge capture got its start. We'll be watching the iPhone 6 announcement closely tomorrow to see if the predictions about Health and all of the other cool iPhone 6 features live up to the hype.

James Sammons and John Sammons – Wills
When we lived in Denver, I corresponded frequently with Harriett Boozer in Sandy Springs, Georgia. Her Wynne family and my Sammon family intermarried and in 1989, Harriet published a book about her families, and inserted Sammon information I shared with her. Hadn't thought of this in years until I became re-interested (a bad word, I know!) about genealogy research – went to Harriet's book and reacquainted myself with the information I sent her.
The wills of any family during this time period are interesting. Viewing copies of the original wills with the ornate handwriting brings the past alive. [My flood story regarding the loss of these copies . . .]
My earliest known Sammons ancestor was James Sammons whose will was probated September 19, 1765. Some researchers list Phillis Ivey as James' wife; I have come to believe that Phillis was the widow of an Ivey (perhaps Henry) and James was her second husband. As always, further research is required; there are always changes in this research. Now, with DNA, there have definitely been some changes in family histories.
I descend from James Sammons' son Williams Sammons, Sr. (whose will and information will be in another posting). William Sammons married Rebecca Ivey and their son John Sammons (will above) married Betty Walker, who are my ancestors.
Note: after William Sammons' wife Rebecca died, he married Annis Carroll Comer (widow of John Comer).
In later years, my branch of the family dropped the last 's' in Sammons and we became Sammon.
On and on it goes!!

I have a report that has a finite number if items. I would like to customize the order. Not alpha up or down.
I know I can add a 1, 2, 3 before each part in the table but I don't want to do that.
If there is a finite list, you can make that field be a multiple choice field. Then you can have that field sorted on the order of he choices.
... or just add a sort field to the table and sort on that field even if that field is not exposed on the report.
It's a dropdown in the form which is a lookup via a relationship.
The low tech solution is to put a sort field on the source table for the lookup, and bring that down in the lookup too.
I think since there is a finite number of items that don't change that a multiple choice field solution would be the least complicated.
I'll try that first.
Thanks for that idea.
I'll try that first.
Thanks for that idea.
The multiple choice field worked perfectly and took a very complicated solution to a very simple and manageable one.
Thanks so much!!
Thanks so much!!
Hi! I have a similar question, maybe you can help... When we put records into a grid report, it's really important that they stay in the physical place where they were inserted in relation to the other records in the report. (They're decor items broken out by general venue area, usually). Meaning that when we use the grid edit function, we put records in wherever they need to be in relation to one another, but I can't think of a simple solution to make them stay in that order when we exit grid edit mode... Any ideas?
Have you tried simply sorting by Record ID#?
I could, but I don't think that would work... We go back in and edit/add records, but often we add things in the middle of the list, if it were sorted by record ID, the items we add in later would just go to the bottom (or top) of the pile, right?
I think then "we are where we were" in terms of native solutions. Adding a sort field.
I think that Dan Dielbolt has a way to drag and drop. I seem to recall he posted something once if you are into non native IOL technique solutions.

Shoot, okay, thank you!

With the theme 'All-Star Team,' Lake Travis ISD joined other districts across the state to recognize and thank school trustees for their service throughout January 2017 as part of School Board Recognition Month.
LTISD superintendent Dr. Brad Lancaster states, "Our community benefits every day from the tireless work and countless hours contributed by the seven men and women who represent more than 9,800 students and their families. These local volunteers are elected by their constituents and receive no compensation for their work as public servants. In a climate of change and challenge, they develop policies and make tough decisions on complex educational and social issues that affect our community. Even though we are making a special effort in January to show appreciation to our board members, we realize their contributions reflect a year-round commitment."
Special events were held at each Lake Travis ISD campus throughout January.

Have you registered your Caesarstone® 10 Year Limited Warranty yet? Register Now
Caesarstone® surfaces require very little maintenance to keep them looking like new. For everyday, routine cleaning of Caesarstone® we recommend wiping the surface with warm soapy water (a mild detergent) and a clean damp cloth, or use our convenient Caesarstone® Cleaning Wipes or Caesarstone® Spray Cleaner. Do not use the cloth you use to wash the dishes, as it may transfer oils and other contaminants to the Caesarstone® surface.
As Caesarstone® is virtually non-porous, it will keep its lustrous gloss and ultra smooth surface which never needs polishing or sealing. Never attempt to polish the surface and avoid prolonged rubbing in one spot when cleaning.
Caesarstone® has developed a range of specially formulated cleaning products designed to keep your quartz surfaces looking their best. Caesarstone® Cream Cleanser, Cleaning Wipes and Spray Cleaner are available to purchase through our stockists. Locate A Stockist
To remove adhered materials like food, gum and nail polish, first scrape away the excess with a sharp blade. If there are any grey metal marks on the surface, use a small amount of Caesarstone Cream Cleanser on the light blue sponge side of a 3M™ scrubber, gently rub over the mark and thoroughly rinse with warm water to remove it.
If you have stubborn marks which still can't be removed, view our online FAQ or contact us on our 0800 303 606 for further advice.
As with any surface, Caesarstone® can be permanently damaged by exposure to strong chemicals and solvents that undermine its physical properties. Do not use products that contain trichlorethane or methylene chloride, such as paint removers or stripper. Avoid all contact with highly aggressive cleaning agents like oven cleaners that have high alkaline/pH levels. Should the surface be accidentally exposed to any of these damaging products, rinse immediately with water to neutralize the effect.
Caesarstone® is heat resistant, however like all stone materials; Caesarstone® can be damaged by sudden and rapid surface temperature changes. A good rule of thumb is that if your hand cannot tolerate the level of heat of an item to be placed on the surface for more than a few seconds, then the heat source is too high. Therefore we always recommend placing hot pots, oven trays and fry pans directly from the oven or hot plate onto a wooden chopping board or cork mat. We also recommend that all electrical cooking appliances such as electric frying pans and slow cookers are also placed on a wooden chopping board.
We always recommend cutting on an appropriate cutting board and never directly on the
Caesarstone® surface to avoid blunting kitchen knives or damaging the surface of your
bench top.

One worker at WKW Erbsloeh North America Inc.'s Pell City, AL, facility was standing above acid-filled tanks, helping with maintenance, when he slipped, fell backwards, and submerged himself into a tank filled with highly corrosive phosphoric and sulfuric acid.
Thanks to some quick action, the worker ended up saved, but not before suffering severe burns to his face and internal organs.
Safety Fines for TX Plastics Maker
Combustible Dust Hazard at Flour Mill
Steel Maker Cited for Worker Death
Fish Plant Safety Failure: 1 Dead, 1 Hurt
As a result of the accident, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) investigators responded to the July incident and found safety violations that placed employees in serious peril and led to the worker's injuries. As a result, OSHA fined the company $177,500.
Smart Staffing Solutions, doing business as Temp Force Staffing and ABC Employment Holding, LLC, doing business as MS Companies LLC provided WKW with temporary workers. OSHA did not issue citations to the temporary staffing agencies after conducting inspections of the companies.
WKW received a willful citation for exposing workers to falls from walkways without railings. OSHA requires walkways, platforms or runways above or next to dangerous equipment, including chemical tanks, to have railing and toeboards installed. A willful violation is one committed with intentional, knowing or voluntary disregard for the law's requirement, or with plain indifference to worker safety and health.
"Allowing a worker to be injured by a hazard that was known by all is terrible. This worker was doing the right thing, but management was not," said Ramona Morris, director of OSHA's Birmingham Area Office. "Employers have the responsibility to protect employees from injuries and illnesses."
Two repeat citations were for failing to ensure machinery would not start up while workers performed machine maintenance and service and for not training workers on how to prevent accidental startup. A repeated violation exists when an employer faced previous citations for the same or a similar violation of a standard, regulation, rule or order at any facility in federal enforcement states within the last five years. WKW faced previous citations for similar violations in March 2010 at the Pell City facility.
Five serious citations were for failing to provide workers with equipment to prevent accidental machine startup; not ensuring workers followed procedures to prevent accidental machine startup; failing to monitor air quality inside chemical tanks that workers entered; not training workers on the hazards of confined spaces; and no periodic inspections of worker procedures to prevent accidental machine startup. A serious violation occurs when there is substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard about which the employer knew or should have known.

Finding a male pattern baldness cure remains a slippery slope of hope for most men. Approximately 25 percent of men who experience baldness begin to see signs of loss before the age of 21. Studies provided by the American Hair Loss Association also show that two-thirds of men will experience thinning and hair loss by the age of 35. These statistics are very concerning.
Is it possible to stop male pattern baldness and cure it? There are many natural strategies that are commonly used but remain unproven. Should you include home recipe cures in your personal list of planned strategies? The home recipes listed here remain unproven and are most commonly used out of desperation. Some men have claimed that they were able to achieve results using these and other home recipes. A better option may be found using hair supplements. The vitamins listed below are found in many over the counter supplements. The home recipes and vitamins listed may be beneficial for achieving both healthy hair and good health.
Home Recipes Baldness Cures
These home recipes offer some solutions for a healthy scalp. A healthy scalp can both prevent hair loss and promote hair growth.
•Scalp Massage Using Castor, Coconut or Olive Oil
Pour a few drops of one of these natural oils into your hand and massage on the scalp in a circular motion. Use a shower cap to cover your head for several hours. The oils may provide nutrients to the scalp and the massage may stimulate blood circulation and boost hair growth. Adding a drop of almond oil will add vitamin E and a pleasant aroma.
•Coconut Milk
Coconut oil and coconut milk can be used topically or consumed for the purpose of producing healthy hair follicles.
•Black Pepper and Yogurt Paste
Mix 2 teaspoons of black pepper into 3 ounces of plain yogurt. This paste should be gently applied to a receding hairline and patches of thinning hair. Rinse and shampoo normally.
Vitamin Supplements for Male Pattern Baldness
•Niacin and Biotin
These B vitamins are found in many of the supplements that are commonly suggested for hair. Biotin is commonly known as the hair vitamin. Niacin (vitamin D3) works best when combined with Biotin. Together they provide dietary support for hair and skin.
•Vitamin B12
A lack of vitamin B12 can result in premature graying and hair loss. A proper balance of vitamin C and iron are necessary for the body to properly absorb vitamin B12.
•Vitamin D and Calcium
Vitamin D is essential for total body health and is a necessary component for the absorption of calcium. Calcium is vital for healthy follicles. Hair loss can be caused by a lack of vitamin D or calcium.
Methyl-sulfonyl-methane (MSM) builds collagen. MSM is necessary for healthy tendons, bones, hair and nails. MSM plays an essential role in tissue repair and could result in thicker and stronger hair.
Two weeks to two months are needed for you to determine what benefits are resulting from either home recipes or hair supplements. Finding an answer for male pattern baldness may or may not be possible through the use of these natural options. Proper care of the scalp combined with vitamin supplements may promote hair growth and prevent baldness. These hair growth options may help you in your fight with hair loss.

Life is boring when you stay in your comfort zone and I have always thrived outside of mine. I went to a sixth form which was a 2 hour bus journey away from where I lived so I could meet new people, I left home at 18 and moved to London where I didn't know a single soul, I've always pushed myself to do things that I'm not quite sure I am ready for and things that scare me. With that comes a lot of change and new beginnings but also a great deal of opportunity.
You may have read my recent post about moving house, I recently moved from a tiny studio flat to a lovely two bedroom house. It wasn't just a physical change. Yes, we are on a different street (which is closer to the train station, yay!) and we have more space than we know what to do with but it was the mental change which had the most impact. It felt like another step towards adulthood.
Goodbye, pokey little flat with windows we had to duck tape in the Winter because it was so cold, hello adult house with double glazing and patio plants.
Not one to do things by halves, I also decided to look for a new job during the house move. Was I happy with my old job? Happier than most people probably are but could I be happier? I believed I could. I start my new job next week and while I'm nervous about it, I'm also confident in my decision to move on in the search for something better.
I am choosing to overhaul my life because when you stick to what you know, or what your comfortable with you stop learning, you stop living and that's when life gets stale. I don't want to be one of those people I look at on the train every evening, who look bored and dull day after day, commuting to a job they aren't passionate about because they need to pay the bills.
Life is too short to just plod along in the hope that something better comes along, opportunities don't just fall into your lap.
You can sit there and be bored, or be unhappy with life or you can make changes and try something new. You can take a risk and leave a job you're getting on well at in the quest to find something that blows your mind or you can sit and wait for things to change. It might be a huge flop and it might not work out but it's better to regret giving something a go than regretting never taking a chance.

So, another year has been added to life (last Friday actually). Weirdly, it actually felt like another day in a week. The birthday wishes and greetings via Facebook, Twitter and text messages made me realize, oh yeah it's my birthday! Well, just like previous birthdays, I did this kind of self-reflection. I noticed that I've achieved many things, such as going to a country I had never been to all by my self (a small adventure in Hong Kong to catch TVXQ) and with my friends, I'm currently working hard to make our blog concert better and better everyday. Speaking of our blog concert, I must say that it's one thing that gets me enthusiastic lately. It might be exhausting sometimes but so far I enjoy writing and editing articles, designing concepts and planning the projects. Also, I'm glad I have the best people in the team ^^
Back to the birthday topic, I have some wishes of course. I won't reveal all of them here because there will be too many. One from the long list is that hopefully the June trip will be a successful one. I could go to meet and hang out with my brother, see the boys live in the dome and have these wonderful, unforgettable moments in the city. I've booked everything, it's only the visa that makes me a bit anxious. I hope everything will go smoothly though 🙂 *crossing my fingers*
(This is not a good birthday post, I know. Not in the mood for a philosophical post!)
See you soon with a long and proper blog entry!
Deep down I believe my year was a special year: it produced me. – Ned Vizzini


text: Congratulations to the Orange Team and Coaches Molly and Anna on their first win of the season vs Maine. Mairead Harris and Maya Gonzalez pitched a joint shutout and the team gelled as the game progressed. Scoring leaders were Kate Pohl with two goals and Katie Krebs with two assists. Every goal was assisted with Emma Heinig recording her first Latin goal and the first of the game at the end of the first period assisted by Izzy Perpich and Abby Maechling . Sadie Heller assisted Kate's first goal next and Katie Krebs assisted Margo Williams after that. Charlotte Lawrence assisted Kate's second goal and Amelia Owen finished the scoring for her first career goal from Katie's second assist. Strong team defense with great back checking by the forwards made for a very limited number of Maine shots.

The election season is over, and Christmas at Creighton is just a few weeks away. Overnight, TV commercials switched over from political ads to holiday sales & savings ads. Here at Creighton, Christmastime on campus is most closely associated with final exams. Getting an early start on holiday celebrations and glad tidings will ensure a fulfilling holiday season for all!
If you're not in the mood for the holiday season just yet, don't fret! Here is Forbes Magazine's Top Ten Christmas Movies of All Time to make your spirits jolly & merry as the holiday season kicks off:
10. Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol (1951) – you're a scrooge if you don't give this one a chance!
9. Miracle on 34th Street – the original black & white (1947) or the remake (1994) starring our favorite 90s girl, Matilda!
8. Gremlins (1984) – holiday fare + holiday scare
7. Elf (2003) – the Christmas classic from our generation thanks to Will Ferrell
6. The Bishop's Wife (1947) – older & more traditional, with a heart-warming and unforgettable Christmas decorating scene
5. A Christmas Story (1983) – watch it or I'll shoot your eye out!
4. 1941 (1979) – an inappropriate comedy, what else is this magical season for?
3. The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)– Tim Burton's animate awesomeness
2. Brazil (1985)– an "unChristmas" Christmas film
And #1…
Die Hard (1988)– I'll let Forbes explain this one: "Could it be anything else? Of course not, because Die Hard is everything every Christmas movie should always be forever. It's a mix of the baddie from The Grinch Who Stole Christmas; the unbeatable hero who shows up to teach everyone a lesson from Miracle On 34th Street; the ghosts of past, present, and future who bring insight and change from A Christmas Carol; plus every redemptive struggle about family and personal evolution and good versus evil, all wrapped up in a big shiny box with a bow made of explosions and bullets. There's Christmas, and then there's Christmas with punching terrorists in the face and winning back your entire family." There you have it.
Let me be the first to say Happy Holidays! Make this year a good one.
