Make money directly delivered to your mailbox!
You got mail! And this mail is definitely bringing something to you that you are going to
absolutely love! A grandmother made $28,000 in just 2 short months and an 80 year old man
from Oklahoma has made money from this from his own home. And the way these 2 people have
made money is crazy simple. This company started this life changing program 4 years ago and it is
ALL done offline (which is also great for the baby boomers who don't want to do online marketing or
business, but can still make tremendous amounts of money doing this). This company is a direct
mailing program, that is done offline and is called the 30 Day Success Formula. This business
couldn't have come at a better time than now for people that could never get into their own business
because many ecommerce programs are very expensive to get into. This company has many attractive
business features that many of you will absolutely love and are greatly needed in today's economy to
help the masses and the VERY LOW COST to get your foot in the door. These are some of the features
that are included in this life changing business:
1) Digital education of the business.
2) E-commerce stores for those who want to have their own stores that come already loaded
with products for you and are earning monthly from the start!
3) Credit & Debit pre-paid cards that come in real metals of gold, silver etc.
4) Six different levels of residual income that will surely satisfy anyone's desired income taste.
5) AND-the company fronts your advertising costs when you get in and they DO NOT charge you
any up front costs out of your pocket.
Here is a synopsis of how the business will work for you:
1) You get signed up with the letter on page 6 of the person who sends it to you.
2) The company will do ALL THE WORK for you and cover your advertising costs. They do this
because they want you to succeed and get a good start for yourself so you start making money
and advance to higher levels of income. And it won't take long, because your money will start
arriving to your mailbox quickly from others who see your offer of the business and send you money
because they want in on this opportunity too!
3) The company will close ALL your high ticket commissions for you so you don't have to do
anything. They send your money to you directly to your mailbox.
4) This company has been around for 4 years and they have ONLY been doing this offline ONLY.
They don't do any internet marketing at all on this because this is a direct mailing program only.
5) Get started for as low as 89.00 that goes up to 12,000 (low to high ticket commissions). When
you start making money, you can have the option to go up to another level or get additional
mailers sent to you and triple your income even more.
6) Every time your team member makes a commission, YOU also make a commission! Let's
use the example if you make a 2,500 sale, YOU get 1,000, your sponsor receives 400, and the
company makes $1,100. Everybody wins and nobody is left out!
7) This business is so confident that they offer you a 90 day money back guarantee. And the
refund does not come from the one you sign in with but instead, it comes from the business.
This business is NOT MLM, pyramid scheme or cash gifting. It is a totally legitimate direct mail
order business that many people are winning BIG from and it DOES NOT take all your life savings
to get in and upgrade fast! I am going to include 2 types of videos from people that are making
killer incomes from this and scaling up quickly from the fast conversions this system can create
for you. My sponsor is Ontarian Hawkins who is very popular in the networking and affiliate field
and he has had massive success in his business and many people join with him because they trust
his actions and the expertise he has. His sponsor when he got into this business is Cassandra Goode
who is the grandmother that made 28,000 in 2 months after she started in October of last year. She
has since leveled up and is making tremendous amounts of money and is in one of the video's I am
sending so you can see proof of what she has been doing (she is in video with Ontarian-they have been
friends for 12 years). I am sending links for my letter about the business and if you want to opt-in
and join on page 6 of my letter, a testimonial video with many other people in this program and a
video with Ontarian and Cassandra. PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS-VERY IMPORTANT! This opportunity
can be a BIG help for many out there who are tired of struggling, and are looking for something
that they can do without high costs of joining and having everything done for you!
If anyone has questions about this PLEASE message me by my emails I will give below,
or connect with me on Facebook and message me there or my other social sites.
I am here to help as many people as I can to do this because it WORKS!
View the testimonial video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-I0DnaoC8s

I don't talk about my business here, I just promote my opportunities.

Jade Cloud
Jade Cloud
A lively, delicious everyday green tea nurtured by the clouds and cool mist of early spring.
Order your tea now and we will ship out by 1 month from order date.
Description: This bright, fresh green tea is grown in a pristine high-mountain climate in Hubei. Here we work with tea artisans at the Xuan En Yisheng Tea Co-op to cultivate organic teas. Spring harvests are crafted by pan-firing, oven-baking, and hot-air roasting into a lively, savory tea inspired by the classical Chinese green tea known as Wulu, or "Jade Cloud."
Tasting Notes: A lively, delicious everyday green tea nurtured by the clouds and cool mist of early spring
Ingredients: Organic Fair Trade green tea
Origin: Hubei, China
Steeping Recommendations
Water Temperature: 180°F
Leaf to Water Ratio: 1 tablespoon per 8 ounces
Steep Time: 3 minutes (1st infusion), 4 minutes (2nd infusion)
We encourage you to experiment with the quantity of tea leaves and the length of the steep time to find your desired brew strength. Varying the water temperature isn't recommended, as water that is too hot will over-extract the bitter components of tea, while water that is too cool might not fully draw out the aromas and flavors of tea.

Tostones Chatino Plantains
Tostones are a ubiquitous starter in Cuban restaurants. Known throughout Latin America as tachino, chatino, or plátano a puñetazo, this savory twice-fried plantain can be very filling and tasty. There are two types of plátanos that offer significantly different flavors—one variety looks more like a banana and is sweet, while the other is starchy and bigger. You can make chips with it, or you can boil it, mash it, and fry it to make the well-loved tostones.
- 2 green plantains
- Vegetable oIl, For FryIng
- salt, to taste
- dollop of sour cream (optIonal)
Peel the plantains, removing the ends. Cut them in rounds that are 1–1½ inches in thickness to make the shape of a chip. Carefully place the plantains in a pan with hot oil for approximately 7 minutes. When crisp, remove, drain, and press the plantains with a spatula to flatten until they are approximately ½ inch thick. Raise the temperature of the oil and add the flattened plantains again. Cook for approximately 80 additional seconds. Sprinkle with salt and serve with sofrito salsa (page 139). Add a side of sour cream if you like.

Back To University + Squeezing In My Workouts/
Tomorrow I officially start year 2 of university. Over the summer I have been juggling a couple of internships, my blog, my social life (and occasional lack there of...) and fitness schedule and so it's going to come as a shock to be back to the text books and trying to fit all of these things in. I'm always up for a challenge but I know that I need to keep a close eye on my stress levels. I still have lots of blog posts planned (there's just so much 'stuff' that I'm dying to share with you all!) so although my posts may become slightly less frequent, please forgive me and be sure to stick around!
All of my lectures and seminars this year are crammed into Mondays and Tuesdays which means that I have plenty of time left to prep for the following week in terms of reading and revising. I'm quite looking forward to being super-organised and staying ahead (ha!).
In terms of food, I am going to try to prep lunches for Mondays and Tuesdays on a Sunday evening so that I'm not tempted to spend my pennies on meal deals or at the cosy free-wifi pub over the road!
As for my workout plan, I am keen to make a kind of previsionary schedule so that I don't slack off. I will definitely need a Body Balance session to keep me feeling relaxed and I'm thinking that Tuesday evening might be good for that. I also want to continue with 1 or 2 Body Pump sessions, CX Worx and a couple of blasts of cardio.
Oooookay... Having just written that down, I realise that sounds maybe a little over-ambitious?
Right now, I can make that work by doing more than one class at a time. I love my Tuesday morning combos of treadmill, CX and Balance but that sadly won't fit into my new timetable so perhaps I need to find some new combos. I've got to work something out! I'll keep you updated on what I'm doing and how I find that it is working for me.
The last week or so, I have been trying extra-hard to improve my sleep cycle too so if I can get up closer to 8am each day, I can hopefully fit in some morning workouts and have the whole day ahead of me to work work work!
If you have any tips on how to juggle my uni/work with a decent workout schedule, I would really (REALLY!) appreciate them! Thanks beauties :)

You can't afford not to have a website
Are you a small business owner, start-up company or do you work freelance and want to make the best impact online? You know you need a website but there are so many obstacles in your way including the cost and time constraints. You love your business but you feel overwhelmed at the thought of going online! All these feelings are normal but you can't afford not to have a website.
Here are some of the key reasons why you need a website in 2017:
No 1 – An Online Presence is Vital
A website is the perfect online window to display all of your work, and it's only a click away from potential money in the bank. By having a website you have the opportunity to reach a wider audience. Potential customers can find out about you, your products and services, and contact you directly. It's also an easy way to update your existing customers on what's new.
No 2 – Grow Your Customer Base
Over 3.7billion users accessing the internet and it's growing by the second. Everyone has internet access so if you don't have a website you are automatically missing out on a massive piece of the pie which you can't afford.
No 3 - Build Your Brand and Credibility
aving a website for your business will automatically increase your business value. An online presence allows you to build your brand in a professional manner and it implies you are here to stay giving you and your business credibility.
No 4 – Become an Influencer
A website allows you to be creative and unique and even become an influencer. You can use your website to showcase your portfolio, products and services. Creating a blog on your website further builds your profile as an industry expert. By creating regular content Google will fall in love you and might even feature your business on the first page of the google search engine.

Asia shares hit 14-month peak, dollar slumps2 min read . Updated: 15 Oct 2009, 09:23 AM IST
Asia shares hit 14-month peak, dollar slumps
Asia shares hit 14-month peak, dollar slumps
Hong Kong: Asian shares rose to 14-month highs on Thursday as upbeat retail sales and surprisingly bullish earnings reports in the United States buoyed risk appetite, pushing the US dollar to a 14-month low.
Shares in Japan jumped more than 2% as investors bought exporters who might benefit from rising US demand and stocks in the rest of Asia firmed to their highest levels since last August.
Positive sales and earnings data from the United States -- including from Intel Corp and JP Morgan Chase & Co -- pushed the Dow Jones up 1.5% on Wednesday and above 10,000 points for the first time in a year.
US government data showed that retail sales, excluding autos, rose for a second straight month in September.
Growing confidence that the United States can fuel a global economic recovery encouraged investors to buy riskier assets, such as higher-yielding currencies, including the Australian and New Zealand dollars, which were additionally boosted by rising expectations for interest rate hikes.
Authorities in Taiwan, Korea and the Philippines were spotted buying US dollars to curb strength in their currencies. Several Asia countries have intervened in recent weeks to cap their currencies and keep them competitive in export markets.
The Aussie dollar hit a 14-month high at $0.9183 to the US dollar after the Reserve Bank of Australia pointed to more rate rises. Last week, it became the first central bank in the Group of 20 to tighten policy as the global financial crisis eases.
"We have said that, over time, interest rates will need to be adjusted towards a more normal setting as the economy recovers," governor Glenn Stevens said in a speech. "A step in that direction was taken last week."
In New Zealand, data showing stronger-than-expected inflation raised the likelihood of a rise in interest rates in coming months and sent the Kiwi to a 15-month high of $0.7485.
The flow of cash into riskier assets has knocked the US dollar, a trend that pushed the currency to a 14-month low of 75.284 against a basket of currencies and against the euro at $1.4958.
Expectations of healthy global growth prodded Nymex crude futures to a one-year high near $76 a barrel after US industry data showed a surprise drop in inventories.
Gold held above $1,060 an ounce, just below Wednesday's record high above $1,070.
Japan exporters gain
Tokyo's Nikkei average rose 2.1% to 10,272.62, helped by auto maker Honda Motor Co, which gained 2.5%.
The MSCI index of Asia Pacific stocks traded outside Japan rose 1.4% to 414.96, its highest level since August last year. The Thomson Reuters index of regional shares was up 0.8%.
Shares in Hong Kong rose 1.6% and those in Shanghai increased 0.8%.
Bullish US earnings reports boosted technology shares in Taiwan, lifting Taiwan's benchmark stock index by nearly 1%.
Shares in Acer Inc, which surpassed Dell Inc in the third quarter to become the world's No. 2 PC maker behind Hewlett-Packard, rose 1%.

I've had the pure pleasure of teaching periodically at The Quilter's General Store (Rockford, IL...near the WI state line) over the past several years, and it always feels like home when I'm there. It's a warm and cozy shop, not only because of the nice people that work and take classes there, but they always have great fabrics, and I leave feeling inspired.
|Four Star General by Yellow Creek Quilts
Did I mention the shop is located in an old farmhouse? Yes...so charming! The farm is still a working farm, too. You'd never guess that it's all located on the corner of a bustling city intersection.
The Quilter's General Store has offered the Prairie Women's Sewing Circle club from the very beginning. I think it was the third shop to ever offer the club. Former owner (and dear friend) Deb Peterson-Borcean lead the club for many years, and now current owner (and friend) Denise Rehnberg does it.
Denise and Polly surprised me with show-n-tell of the shop quilts from Journey Four of the PWSC club!
I think you can see that if you're in the Rockford, IL area, you NEED to make a stop at the General Store!
My final destination was in Wisconsin, and if I'm ever entering the state, I HAVE TO go to JJ Stitches! JJ's is located in Sun Prairie, WI (near Madison) and I think I've been going there for more than 15 years, and it's been grand each and every time.
|Reproduction Pinwheels by JJ Stitches
|Reproduction Chain by JJ Stitches
Julie often replicates and patterns many of the antique quilts from her large collection, offering unique patterns no other shop has.
She often has quilts in magazines, with the quilt above featured in
the current issue of Primitive Quilts and Projects magazine.
|Old Soul pattern by Patchalot Patterns
There is just the most wonderful feeling that comes over me when I walk through the door at JJ's. Maybe it's the antiques Julie uses for display, or the warm Civil War colors and fabrics. The soft music playing or just the fact that I know I'll find great fabrics and kits. Maybe because I've been going to JJ Stitches for so many years, it's more like visiting a friends home. It's probably all of those things, and I know you'll feel it, too, if you ever get the chance to visit. You can always shop online!!
Needless to say, my shop hop was a great success, and perhaps now you can see why I lovingly refer to the shops on this route as "the holy land of quilting!"
My final destination was the Second Story, located above another awesome, top notch quilt shop, The Country Sampler.
My pal, Tara Lynn Darr (Sew Unique Creations) and I settled in for days of wonderful, productive sewing. Tara worked on new projects for her next book, and I worked on the final quilt for Journey Five. We sewed, relaxed, gabbed, ate, and enjoyed a Downton Abbey marathon. All good food for the soul!!


text: Rawlings rawl is rallying 54 cents, or 7.1 percent, to $8.14 after the company's largest stockholder, Daniel Gilbert, offered to buy the sporting goods company for $8 a share in cash. The stock reached a 52-week high of $8.30 earlier in the session. Gilbert currently holds a near 15 percent stake in the company. Rawlings shares had surged 18 percent to $7.57 on Friday after announcing that it was evaluating an "expression of interest" to buy the company.


text: I love it when Dee calls me up and says she'd like a session - it's always a good time. And what a good reason for photographs: family visiting from all over the country. Yes, there is the inevitable chaos, but little gems of quiet moments always manage to shine out.

The newest version of Adobe's Photoshop for mobile handsets, Photoshop Express, has come with an update for iOS. The recent release refreshes the means and manages to focus on user interaction with it.
The innovative "editing experience", as Adobe brags about it, is not to just the modifications in design aspect as well as standard bug-fixes and optimizations, but also provides options like quick sharing.
Apart of that, new features consist of pet-eye mode. It clears the green-eye effect when shooting pets. Adding more to such features, it has updated tooltips throughout the User Interface. Now, user can experience an auto-resume feature which means that one doesn't have to save the unfinished work while minimizing the app and it'll keep in mind where you left off and on which picture.
There is no doubt that the application-interface is optimized for both iPhones and iPads, while the latter features the similar updated editing features.
In the end, the application lets you speedily share via SMS or Instagram, and the Photo Picker tool has also been updated. So Apple users can get the upgraded app here.

These Candy Dipped Pretzel Rods are perfect for parties or for an easy no-bake treat! You can easily adjust the colors and sprinkles to fit any holiday or celebration! #pretzels #easyrecipes
When we moved to Arizona, many of our neighbors stopped by and introduced themselves. To be honest, it took Brian and I by surprise ….. people just weren't that nice in North Carolina. I guess after you have lived somewhere for so long, you kind of forget what life is like in the world outside of those city limits.
Our neighbors are pretty cool and I couldn't have asked for a better neighborhood for my family to be a part of! Brian and I are very reserved around other people … and we are the kind of people who mind our own business. That's just the way we were raised. Not in an un-friendly sort of way – just very well-mannered. We are so quiet, that people are shocked to find out that people actually live in our house (it sat empty for over two years when the housing market took a nose-dive). Our neighbor Alyce has even commented she would never know there are five children living here. Seriously, they know that if they want to act a fool, they better do it when they don't live here. 😉
Back to the neighbors …. they like to get together every so often for a block party (for lack of a better word). Halloween is probably the biggest one! They set up tables with tons of food and candy. It makes it easy for the trick-or-treaters since they only have one stop on our street instead of having to go to all of the houses. It's like the candy jackpot … instead of one or two pieces – they get a handful!
With as quickly as this year has gone by so far, I'm already thinking about what I want to make for the Halloween Block Party. I know it seems like a long ways a way, but it'll be here before we know it! I thought about making these Candy Dipped Pretzel Rods because they're a grab and go treat and they're not too messy to eat. I haven't quite made up my mind, but these are definitely high on the list! 🙂
by Jamie @ Love Bakes Good Cakes
Yield: (varies)
- 1 bag (12 oz.) pretzel rods
- Wilton candy melts (assorted colors)
- Sprinkles or seasonal candy (optional)
Powered by Recipage
The great thing about these Candy Dipped Pretzel Rods is you can make them for an occasion! You can dip they in caramel and then into the candy melts. Change the colors. Change the sprinkles. Use colored sugar or add creepy eyes. Add your favorite candy in place of the sprinkles. The possibilities are endless!

Obituary: Marion E. Sylvester/
Marion E. Sylvester, at 72
Marion Ellen (Bergan) Sylvester, 72, of Hull, died peacefully at home, surrounded by family, on Easter Sunday.
Known as Ellen, Mrs. Sylvester found her calling as a nurse as South Shore Hospital and her mission extended to the infirmary at the Charles Street Jail. Working for the city of Boston was where she developed a passion for serving the forgotten members of the community. Her care touched the homeless, those in addiction and recovery, patients with HIV/AIDS, and those with mental health issues.
Ellen loved to travel and, for the past 35 years, cherished her "spring breaks" with friends in Aruba. She enjoyed the beach, painting with watercolors, making jewelry, and spending time with loved ones. She had an open door, an open heart, and a laugh that will not be forgotten.
The daughter of the late Marion and Dr. William M. Bergan, she was the loving mother of Jennifer and Brian Tichy, of Santa Clarita, Calif.; Jamie and Bruno Barbuto, of Hanover; and Meghan Sylvester and Richard Hennessey, of Hull. She was the sister of Margaret "Bitsy" Larson of Miami, Fla.; Maureen White of La Quinta, Calif., and her late husband, Joseph P. White; and the late Kathleen Bergan.
Mrs. Sylvester poured her heart and soul into the love and care of her grandchildren: Charlotte and Isabella; Bruno, Luca, and Dante; Cordelia and Richard; and William and Gabrielle. She was the godmother of Jodi Purssell and Kevin Roche, and is also survived by many nieces and nephews and all her friends whom she called family.
Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend the visiting hours today [Thursday], from 4-8 p.m., in the Pyne Keohane Funeral Home, 21 Emerald St., Hingham. A Celebration of Life Service will be held in the funeral home at 9 a.m. on Friday prior to her funeral Mass at St. Ann's Church in Hull at 10 a.m. Burial will take place at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Ruah Breath of Life, 10 Russell St., Cambridge, MA 02140. See www.Keohane.com for online condolences.

We have had my sister and her family a couple of times, my dad and crew for a long weekend, my uncle for one night, our friends the Whitsons for a week, Shawn on a couple of occasions, Gwen and baby Juliet during their MN visit, sleepovers with my mom and niece and last night Joel's sister Kristi & her husband Dave, their 2 month old Clara and Dave's brother spent the night before heading to a cabin up north. I have absolutely loved having the space to host people. We have hosted a baby shower, knitting group, game nights, a BBQ and had friends coming over to use the hot tub. I wish I had pictures with everyone that has stayed here the last two months! Here are a few pictures from people's visits.
Playing at the park with my Marchele, Jasmine and Melody.
I loved how played in the playroom was when Aria's cousins were here!
Hanging out at Lacey's pool with my Uncle Todd.
Todd was so fun to see you and Aria together! Come again soon!
I hope that this summer is a good indication of how often we will be sharing our home with family and friends!

"Dear Blank, This is What I Want You to Know" by Noah Lowry
Dear (whoever it may concern)You might not get how people can get addicted to things. But let me tell you, it's real. My addiction to me is like the mother I never had and when I am feeling lonely or sad or even depressed, it's there to hold me, give me a hug and a kiss and always promises me everything is going to be all right. Life is hard, at least to me. So I ask you, what's better then grabbing a bottle and within 30 minutes, your mind and the way you feel makes you feel better. I'm not proud of my addiction. I am 28 years old and i have been struggling since I was in my early 20's. You might not be addicted to something. But just because your not, don't try and judge me or my character, because the bottle does not define me. Look at yourself before you wanna start talking about somebody else.

And 14 years later, we find out CBS chairman and CEO Les Moonves - Who's in charge of the Super Bowl - was on a warpath to ruin Jackson's career ever since.
The incident, which happened during the halftime show of the 2004 Super Bowl, saw Jackson's co-star Justin Timberlake rip away a part of Jackson's costume intending to reveal the red lingerie underneath. Moonves was enraged by it and developed a "fixation" on the singer. According to HuffPo, Moonves was convinced the malfunction was not an accident as Jackson and Timberlake maintained, but an intentional effort to spark controversy.
Timberlake finally got a reprieve when he offered a tearful apology, but according to HuffPo, Jackson was not - in Moonves estimation - properly contrite.
They added that "the move had a huge impact on sales of Jackson's album Damita Jo, which was released in March 2004, just a month after the Super Bowl".
Moonves banned Jackson and Timberlake from the 2004 Grammys broadcast airing on CBS the week after the Super Bowl.
The Huffington Post's Yashar Ali describes Moonves as "obsessed" with damaging Jackson's career after interpreting the wardrobe malfunction to be a publicity stunt.
CONNECT WITH JANET'S GREEK NATION: https://www.facebook.com/janetjacksongreece https://instagram.com/janetjacksongreeknation Music video by Janet Jackson featuring Justin Timberlake performing All For You, Rhythm Nation & Rock Your Body. Fans of Jackson who think Timberlake still owes Jackson an apology called for a #JanetJacksonAppreciationDay on Twitter to protest his performance and celebrate her musical career.
Seven years after the 2004 incident, Moonves told several sources he was furious when he found out Jackson had signed a book deal with Simon & Schuster for her book True You: A Journey to Finding and Loving Yourself.
"How the f-k did she slip through?" a furious Moonves asked, according to a source. Moonves said in a statement following the incident that CBS was "angry and embarrassed" by the malfunction.
Moonves is now reportedly negotiating his exit from CBS in the wake of the #MeToo accusations against him.

AANP Launches Educational Initiative for Young Women with VWD
In May, the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) announced the launch of its new educational program and awareness initiative to acquaint teenage girls, young women and their healthcare providers with von Willebrand disease (VWD). The VWD Young Women's Education Campaign focuses on five signs and symptoms:
- Easy bruising
- Frequent or prolonged nosebleeds
- Heavy, prolonged menstruation
- Prolonged bleeding following injury, childbirth or surgery
- Prolonged bleeding during dental procedures
Young women exhibiting one or more of these signs/symptoms are encouraged to visit their doctor. "Women struggle with the consequences of this disorder for an average of 16 years before they receive a proper diagnosis because sometimes healthcare professionals interpret VWD symptoms as gynecologic, when in fact the underlying cause is hematologic," said Josie Weiss, PhD, FNP-BC, Associate Professor, Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton and Fellow of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners. "The teenage years are both the best time and provide the best opportunity to recognize von Willebrand disease because the onset of menstruation often reveals a commonly overlooked symptom–heavy and prolonged bleeding."
The AANP program includes educational materials for healthcare professionals and patients. The materials consist of VWD fact sheets, a screening questionnaire and links to hemophilia treatment centers. A virtual toolkit, including several downloadable resources, can be found on the AANP Web site.

The Vatican denied on Friday that the decision by Pope Benedict XVI to send a senior official to a new post in Latin America was linked to a secret report about leaked papal papers. Since the pope announced his resignation last week, Italian newspapers have been full of rumors about conspiracies, secret reports and lobbies in the Vatican that they say pushed the pope to abdicate. Some reports hinted that there were sinister motives behind the pope's decision to promote Msgr. Ettore Balestrero, an Italian who holds a post roughly equivalent to deputy foreign minister, to be the Vatican's new ambassador to Colombia. The Vatican spokesman, Father Federico Lombardi, said the suggestion that the pope had made the appointment to get Monsignor Balestrero out of the Vatican was "absurd, totally without foundation." The newspaper La Repubblica has run several stories speculating about the contents of a secret report prepared for the pope by a commission of three cardinals who investigated the theft of personal papal documents that were leaked to the media.

A US consultant claims the company responsible for the Lac-Megantic train crash rejected his training offer, which could have prevented this disaster.
The revelation that a consultant was rebuffed by the Montreal, Maine and Atlantic Railway in 2004 to provide the sort of training that could have prevented the July disaster in Lac-Megantic underlines the need for HR managers to stress the importance of such safety training to companies like MM&A.
The U.S. railway consultant said he was approached almost 10 years ago to provide the kind of training that could have prevented the July 6 train disaster in Lac-Megantic, Que. that killed an estimated 47 people. Rick Carter, the founder of Railroad Training Services based in Stockton, Calif., initially offered to provide the training to 36 employees for $25,000, later reducing his fee to $17,600.
According to Carter, each offer was rejected by Tom Tancula, Rail World vice-president mechanical, remembering Tancula told him, "We're not going to pay that much money to train these people."
MM&A is now facing bankruptcy as it is struggling to pay for the sizable clean-up in the Quebec town and the coming civil suits.
According to Carter, Rail World Inc. had approached him for training that would have included proper airbrake and handbrake safety procedures – which have now become the focus of the investigation into the tragedy.
A part of the training offered by Carter would have included that a train the size of the one involved in the crash should have had handbrakes applied on all five of the locomotives, and 10 to 15 of the railcars to prevent them from rolling away.
Hindsight can make it seem obvious that $20,000 for safety training is a small price to pay, but when companies are operating on small margins or irresponsible managers want to avoid increasing expenses it can be difficult to convince them that the spending is worth it.
Ontario health and safety consultant Christopher Hurley said one of the major challenges consultants face is helping organizations understand the risks and the need to plan.
"You spend a third of the time teaching people what they want and need, and to get them to ask the right questions internally so they truly understand where their opportunities for risk improvement lay," Hurley, who is president and facilitator of Hurley Training and Consulting Services, said. "Communicating and helping businesses prioritize is part of the job."
There are any number of stages where a risk assessment and training program can fall down, from a focus on producing documents but not assigning resources or a business plan, to posting changes on bulletin boards without communicating or training front line staff.
"If you can't a) communicate effectively and b) prove your communication was completed and effective, you leave opportunity for process failure and severe criticism following an incident like the one in Lac-Mégantic," Hurley said.
Rail World chief executive Ed Burkhardt has stated that he wasn't aware of the negotiations with Mr. Carter's company, adding that all MM&A employees were adequately trained on the necessary safety procedures, either in-house or by third-party consultants.

A few months ago we upgraded to Charter's Business-class internet – basically the same 60Mbps residential service but with a static IP. Chatting with the tech, he said I should pick up this tiny little router called the EdgeRouter X because it supported a "million packets per second" and would work well for me. I had no idea if 1,000,000 PPS was good or not, but it didn't matter because as soon as the install was done I plugged my laptop into the cable modem and was pulling down almost 70Mbps!
I powered everything down and put my hodgepodge of network stuff back into place. Everything was A-OK, or so I thought.
Fast forward a couple months.
While troubleshooting some slow download speeds for work, I stumbled upon the fact that my home Firewall/VPN appliance (the FVS336) was choking my internet speeds down to ~25Mps instead of the 60-70 that I'm supposed to get.
Thinking back, I should've re-run that speedtest right after I wired everything back together…not months later
I recalled that "one million packets per second" nugget of information from my brain's cold storage and started doing some research. It turns out this EdgeRouter thing is actually a beefy little device cloaked in a $50 price tag. I pulled the trigger.
This is not your run-of-the-mill consumer grade device. I expected DD-WRT on steroids, but it's WAY more than that. When it comes to tech, I can talk the talk, and occasionally even walk the walk, but I'll be the first to admit – I didn't know what the hell I was doing with this router. There's knobs for things I've never heard of. I resorted to Google-Fu to get the port forwarding setup (I was making it overly complicated), and I'm back in business. I'll tackle the VPN some other time (when it's not 1 in the morning).

This multi-splendourous life
After four years of artistic torment I've reached the stage where my art is once again my true voice and the words which raged inside have diminished. They've gone because I've dealt with a lot of the detritus which was clogging my path and holding me back and I feel at one with who I am and my creativity. I feel I've raised my game and lifted myself out of complacency and in the process I've come to terms with the cruel circumstances that blighted my life. I feel quite good about my art, though I'm aware of significant flaws and can see new areas of possibility and a pathway to improvement. Just so long as I work hard and remain committed to the values which I've fought so hard to attain, but at least that feeling of desperation has finally left me. It's left me because I'm where I should be as an artist, free and with the ability to express myself without prejudice.
So for a change I feel good, back to my old self and I'm sure I can keep pushing my work much further. I will still work very much alone and learn once again to enjoy the sanctity of my obscurity and solitude, because I have no reason to force my work out into the reluctant art world. For now I will just enjoy living my life with the values I believe in and try to maintain a realistic approach, though I'm determined to produce some outstandingly original work to justify a life's commitment to art. 🙂
Have a beautiful day ❤

During the 2017 season, Virginia football coach Bronco Mendenhall mentioned potential legislation that could change how the NCAA treats a redshirt year in the sport. He sounded optimistic that a new rule would pass that could allow players to play in a limited number of games but still preserve a redshirt season.
On Wednesday, the Division I Council passed that new rule exception. The "99 Virginia Football Thoughts Before Kickoff" series looks at the specifics and how that might change the rebuilding calculus for Mendenhall.
No. 80 – Play, But Still Redshirt
At a meeting in Indianapolis this week, the Division I Council decided that Division I football players can participate in up to four games in a season without using a season of competition (thus preserving the redshirt year). This is an exception for football to the overall Division I rule for student-athletes that have five years to participate in up to four seasons of competition. The release from ncaa.org states that "the Division I Student-Athlete Experience Committee will examine how a similar concept could be applied to other sports, including what number of games would be appropriate" in consultation with the Division I Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
The release also says that this proposal had been tabled in April due to questions about "timing" and "the number of games" among other things. For that reason, the Council "adopted noncontroversial legislation to specify that midyear enrollees who participate in postseason football competition that occurs before or during the student-athlete's first term at a school cannot use the exception." That clause seems to exclude January enrollees that play in a postseason contest from being eligible for the exception.
Per Virginia athletics media relations, Mendenhall said the council made a great decision to allow the redshirt exception.
"I think this new rule will be a great opportunity for a student-athlete and their overall college experience. It provides them the chance to participate in our sport throughout their entire college careers which could lead to better engagement, better graduation rates and hopefully more individuals getting the opportunity to earn a masters degree.
I think this is great for college football as well due to the roster limitations and the fact we are seeing extended playing seasons. It provides more options for a program, especially one that might experience injuries issues. I applaud the Division I Council for allowing student-athletes to have more participation opportunities and their overall rationale for adopting this change."
Mendenhall first discussed the potential for this rule change when UVA decided to use true freshman Chris Glaser on the offensive line against Georgia Tech in the ninth game of the year. While there was some thought that the rule may become retroactive for the 2017 season, that did not happen according to Wednesday's release. Glaser ended up playing in five games with the bowl game. Still, a retroactive rule could have applied to true freshman quarterback Lindell Stone, who appeared in just one game. He checked in late against Boston College.
When the coaches played Glaser late last season, Mendenhall said they discussed it with him and his parents before making the decision. If this rule already existed, that would have been a much easier decision – with only four games left in the regular season, he could have participated and kept his redshirt intact.
That's the type of scenario – thin depth numbers at a position where injuries take place during the season – that ACC coaches had in mind, at least in part, when the league first made the proposal for this rule exception.
"This change promotes not only fairness for college athletes, but also their health and well-being. Redshirt football student-athletes are more likely to remain engaged with the team, and starters will be less likely to feel pressure to play through injuries," Blake James, the Council chair and Miami's athletics director, said in the release. "Coaches will appreciate the additional flexibility and ability to give younger players an opportunity to participate in limited competition."
Regardless, the shift to allow up to four games for a player while still preserving a redshirt year likely will lead to roster management evaluations and strategic decisions that did not exist previously. The rule exception applies to any class year and not just true freshman. So in the aforementioned Stone situation at quarterback, the Cavaliers could use him this year in up to four games and then still have the option of giving him a redshirt season. UVA named Bryce Perkins the starting quarterback at the end of spring practice so it's possible that this scenario could be one that unfolds in 2018.
There could be other applications too for Virginia this coming season too. One position that has been discussed quite a bit this offseason already, including in this "99 Thoughts" article, is the defensive line. UVA enters the season with nine or 10 players projected for the D-Line. That's a low number, particularly if injuries hit the unit, so the prevailing theory is that at least one of the three true freshmen among the group would make the rotation.
Now, UVA could strategically play each of Samson Reed, Jordan Redmond, and Aaron Faumui as true freshmen while still keeping redshirts available for long-term development and availability in play. For example, let's take Reed and Faumui (since Redmond is reportedly capable of contributing in multiple games like Mandy Alonso did last season). The Cavaliers open the season with Richmond and face Liberty in November, two opponents where the Hoos should be favored (make your 2016 Richmond jokes if you must). The Hoos could play the two players late in both games for experience and take a few snaps of hits away from players normally in those situations.
Or what if an ACC game unfolds like the Boston College game last season where Kurt Benkert was taking a lot of hits and the score spiraled? That's the situation that got Stone into the game. That could be the type of opportunity later in a season where Coach Mendenhall could choose to borrow some defensive line snaps in order to address overall roster health. If you add one game with that mop-up duty to the two in-state games already mentioned, Reed and Faumui could have played in three games without losing a potential redshirt season.
It seems like that could be one way to potentially try to manage the roster numbers on the defensive line.
An example from last season shows another way this rule exception could be applied strategically in a similar way. Senior offensive lineman Jack McDonald appeared in nine games last season, but his Virginiasports.com bio reads that "injury has limited him to mostly special teams protection." In other words, McDonald played through a lingering injury on special teams to help with some depth issues on the O-Line in 2017. That role could have gone to someone like Tyler Fannin or Ryan Nelson in some games instead without removing a redshirt year from the table. Both players are in competition for spots on the two deep at least in 2018 so a little playing time experience could have been an attractive development possibility for the staff as it tries to build the offensive line into a consistent unit.
What about the receiver position? Mendenhall mentioned at the end of spring practices that the program would be open to adding a graduate transfer at that position. To date, however, no additions have been announced. If the Cavaliers think another player is needed for depth purposes, then perhaps Billy Kemp, Tavares Kelly, Ugo Obasi, or Woody Theork-Youmans get some snaps as true freshmen. Kelly, for certain, and Obasi, possibly, already figured to get a look, but the rule exception offers more possibilities. Keep in mind, that Cole Blackman checked in for four games at receiver in 2016 after playing for the first time on Oct. 29 against Louisville in the eighth game of that season. He ended up missing last season with an injury so the redshirt came back into play, but under the new legislation he would have still had a redshirt year available even without the injury.
There could be other potential special teams applications as well. With the new kickoff rule on fair catches inside the 25-yard line leading to touchbacks, could some coaches play a few safety-linebacker type players for the non-conference games on their schedule and call for sky-high kicks? That could conserve some energy for starter-level players. And so on.
At the very least, it seems likely that coaches will put players into games between FBS and FCS teams or into other potential lopsided score games. Does that lead to fewer injuries or fewer players toughing it out through injuries unnecessarily? Perhaps. Does that allow some so-called football factories to essentially try out some players and then shuffle them through roster turnover? Perhaps. It will be interesting to see how varying coaches with teams in varying situations try to use the rule exception.

Successfully Applying to Harvard for Fall 2013
Applying to Harvard
For every student that has a dream, ambition and fortitude to achieve their goals, Harvard has an academic placement. It is perhaps the most unique school of its kind in that it offers it students not only the best national education they could receive but also ranks amongst the best academic institutions internationally. But it isn't all about the academics, Harvard offers an exclusive membership amongst the brightest and most talented group of individuals in the world.
So why Harvard? Quite simply it is the academic institution which places its graduates at the top of the employability lists and gives social connections last a life time.
Could I attend Harvard?
That is a good question. Harvard has very liberal criteria for admittance. The traditional requirements must always be met for admission but there are some non-traditional requirements as well. Harvard looks for a variety of qualities in their applicants and they most almost always have financial assistance programs for well qualified applicants.
If you would like to attend Harvard I would suggest you make application and see. Be certain to follow all the applications requirements including deadline dates and completed application packages

One Last Suggestion
Universities are often vacant in the Summer for obvious reasons. So if you don't believe you can be accepted through the traditional application process which I highly recommend then you might want to attempt admission through a Summer School Program. Harvard offers a variety of Summer School Programs which are easier to obtain acceptance to then their traditional programs.

Quite useful information. Great job. ??I will like to ???? about the expenses. Maybe the cost for an international student. Thanks
Hi Max Havlick,
I was a professor at a young age and my family is well associated with people in academia. I also have been friends with people who are Harvard graduates.
But I was only a friend of people who attend Harvard. I came from a family of nine and we all were in college at once so I went on full scholarship to a state school. All my friends attend Harvard, Yale or Oxford.
I became a faculty member of a University in Florida at a young age and almost finished my PhD. I am looking into programs to complete my PhD now. So writing hubs about Ivy League Schools was second nature.
I am glad I have finally written something that makes sense to you :-)!! I have prattled on in these hubs. But I am use to writing 200 pages of publishable material each semester as it was required in graduate school.
I have never applied to Harvard. But my family has worked for nine presidents and they were Rutherford B. Hayes appointees so I think if I tried I might be able to get in. I have an heirloom signed by Theodore Roosevelt and William McKinley I have been working on preserving in which I have completed all the research. It also documents the rise of the Rough Riders and the Buffalo Soldiers. It is a really unique piece and it is my German family Bible. I am a Bosch.
I was in contact with Wallace Dailey at Houghton Library and he was not interested in the piece nor was he interested in me or the heirloom showing up at Harvard. Funny we always considered ourselves Hayes people and not Roosevelt people. I have had personal appointments in my life time as well with individuals for the time shall remain unnamed but if you looked at any of the articles on the Rough Riders you would be able to figure it out. I am surprised you haven't read those articles.
I am glad I finally wrote something you could understand :-). I am a frighteningly complicated woman so if you can decipher my hubs you are a brilliant man:-). Staff positions in the Division of Engineering and Sociology? What did you do at Harvard? Because I have studied engineering and it has very little to do with Sociology. You didn't like my articles on Thermodynamics or Particle Physics? They are hobbies of mine as well as biochemistry and molecular chemistry. They are introductory hubs for the novice to interest readers into studying these fields of Science.
Funny, I haven't found a placement for finishing my PhD yet but the doctor is just in my nature. I never stop studying, researching and publishing.
You have to look at helping others as a responsibility of the elite. I do. I am probably never going to be paid for those hubs on Harvard and Yale or the advice I give applicants to those institutions but if we all work to our highest level the world will be a better place. We have a country full of people with potential and none of it is being realized right now. My goal is to finish my PhD and to help others realize their potential. I am not much of a money person. In a family of nine you get use to living without things.
If I do seek admission at Harvard may I contact you later? Right now I am in talks with another Ivy League School and me waiting to hear back from the Dean of Graduate Admissions.
Thanks for reading, commenting, deciphering and rating.
It will be nice to get to know you.
All MY Best,
As you can see by the length of my response the dissertation will not be a problem for me.
Ms. Walters, I finally found a hub of yours I could understand. Just kidding! But you are a serious person.
When were you at Harvard? I had staff jobs at Div. of Engineering and Social Psychology 1972ff, then ran a typing service in Harvard Sq. that advised applicants to Harvard, Rhodes Scholarships, and the like, and had a high batting average. I just helped a bright junior originally from Albania formulate a plan to get into Harvard for graduate study, and I like that kind of work immensely. Pay is dismal, however, but they always agree to pay me later on, then rarely do. I help them anyway.
I teach applicants to imagine they are Dean of Admissions, or chairman of the department, or whatever, and think what kind of a person would they want to apply for a fellowship in their program, what background, what training, and so on. This seems to help them get ready for the things they will have to do to make a serious application to Harvard.
Of course, I have many more concrete suggestions based on my experience with administrators and professors in the Harvard-MIT environment.

adidas have started off 2015 on the offensive with the launch of its bold new Haters pack.
Featuring new colourways for the adiPure 11Pro, Predator Instinct and Nitrocharge, as well as a brand new adiZero F50, this latest pack is all about the players that everyone loves to hate. At the forefront of this new pack is the #ThereWillBeHaters film starring Gareth Bale, James Rodriguez, Luis Suarez and Karim Benzema.
Alongside a whole host of others, all four of these 'hated' players have begun the switch into these brand new boots – the most notable of which is the new look adiZero. Coming in a bold new Solar Red/White/Core Black colourway, this latest adiZero is packed full of brand new technology with a focus on speed and manoeuvrability.
A one-piece Hybridtouch upper is made especially special with a never before seen 3D Dribbletex layer on top to allow for better dribbling regardless of the weather conditions. It is the Dribbletex in particular that contributes to the new scale-like look and feel of the brand new adiZero.
Elsewhere the changes keep on coming. The outsole has been drastically overhauled, with another new grip texture, a changed stud configuration – notably a three-stud heel – and a second level of traction on the forefoot base, inspired by sprint spikes.
Design wise the Three Stripes have been relegated to only the tongue and heel, as adidas adopt a "less-is-more" stance in regard to branding – for us personally, it works an absolute treat.
The new adiPure 11Pro colourway is the third its received since the boot received an equally big upheavel, refocusing it on comfort, fit and touch. A super classy White/Black/Solar Blue affair that adiPure fans will surely be proud of, the 11Pro represents the coming together of heritage and ground-breaking new technology.
The heritage comes in the form of the super soft Kangaroo leather upper, offering a snug fit and a great touch, while the ground breaking new technology is represented in the brand new support skeleton that wraps the boot around your foot, ensuring no energy is wasted.
The Predator Instinct has been given a bold re-up, as we saw on the feet of Holger Badstuber and David Alaba, with this new Solar Red/Night Flash colourway. Definitely not one for the faint of heart, it nonetheless epitomizes the #therewillbehaters slogan that adidas have adopted for these releases.
A Hybridtouch upper, along with the now synonymous rubber zones providing for great touch and accuracy come together to make this the best Predator we have seen in a long while.
Finally the adidas Nitrocharge has been given an Amazon Purple/White/Solar Blue Haters Pack makeover. One for the box-to-box everywhere midfielder, the big feature of the NitroCharge is the energy-sling. Designed to create a greater lockdown on the foot, it ensures that no energy is lost between foot and shoe. The sixth colourway for the Nitrocharge, and definitely one of its better ones.
An exciting, all guns blazing, start to the year for adidas – we can't wait to see what else they have in store for 2015.
The Hater Pack will be available at World Soccer Shop!
