Thank you for your support of our food pantry. We are now serving approximately 70 families each week and the program, under which we operate, allows us to serve each family only once each month. We recently received a large delivery of USDA food as well as a donation of grocery bags from Kroger. We continue to need paper grocery bags with handles and plastic bags. We also need canned tuna and soap. Donations may be left outside of the food pantry door (Burchette Room) on the first floor as you come in from the parking lot. We are open each Wednesday from 10 AM until Noon. If you have a laptop and some basic computer skills, we would like to train you as an intake volunteer. You would not need to volunteer every week; however, it is helpful to have a list of volunteers available, especially during the Summer. We also welcome other volunteers to help greet.

Writing for LV= Landlord insurance, property journalist Sarah Warwick (@SMWarwick) talks to experts and tenants to find out how landlords can do that little bit extra.
The most recent survey by the Council of Mortgage Lenders was taken in 2016, at which time around 62% of private landlords in the UK owned just a single property from which to make an income.
With just one (or a handful) of properties to rent out, being seen as a good landlord is vital in helping to attract and keep reliable tenants. This way, void periods – when the property is unoccupied, no rent is being received, but maintenance and safety checks must still be paid for – can be kept to a minimum. How can you attract and retain the best tenants?
The distinction between furnished and unfurnished rental properties isn't as clear cut as it used to be.
The days of a landlord having a property that's very barren apart from a washing machine are fading,' says Fiona Patton, head of lettings at Pritchards in Bath (@pritchardsbath). 'All the white goods are expected to be there, probably including a washer-dryer.'
But it's not just fridge-freezers, dishwashers, and curtains and blinds many of today's tenants require. Often renters are attracted by part-furnished properties. Beds, sofas, and dining tables and chairs might all be included. It's a money-saver for potential renters, and more practical if they come from overseas.
There are other ways to add extra, depending on the rental sector you're in, suggests Fiona:
'We regularly survey our residents to find out what else they want to have in their building,' says Matt Finch, head of asset management at be:here Hayes (@behereliving). 'It helps us improve the living experience and so our residents stay longer.'
First-time landlords or those who want to improve their game should put themselves in tenants' shoes, advises Michelle Niziol, CEO of IMS Property Group (@IMS_Bicester) and vice-president at ARLA Propertymark (Association of Residential rel="noopener noreferrer" Letting Agents) (@arla_uk).
'Landlords should make sure that the properties they market are properties they would be happy to call home and reside in,' she says.
Letting tenants personalise is key.
'Be open to changes the tenant may want to make to the property, such as painting walls, putting up shelves and changing curtains,' says Michelle.
Prompt action from her landlady impressed Stacey Osafo, who shares a house rental in Buckinghamshire.
'I texted my landlady at about 10pm one night letting her know that the toilet flush in my ensuite was broken,' says Stacey.
'The cistern is hidden behind a wall, so it's not easy to get to. The landlady replied immediately saying she'd be there the next morning to stop it running, which she did, and then she had someone out within a couple of hours that day who fixed it for me completely.'
Stacey's landlady also made sure the house was kept warm when a problem occurred with the radiators.
'Once we had messaged her, within a couple of hours she was round with numerous electric heaters to make sure we stayed warm while she was sorting the problem out,' says Stacey.
For her part, Stacey makes sure she's only in touch when the situation warrants it.
'If it's something I can sort out myself, I don't like to bother her,' she says.
It's no surprise that much of what landlords look for in tenants is what their renters expect from them. Swift communication and resolution of any issues is essential, as is seeing your property as the tenant's – albeit not-forever – home.

Flamboyant city politician Steve Mbogo was arraigned before Milimani Senior Principal Magistrate Peter Ooko on Tuesday January 23, in connection to a scam where a Dubai businessman was conned $1 million (Sh102.5 million).
The former Starehe Constituency MP aspirant appeared in court alongside two others; Rashid Ishmael and James Kinyanjui. The three are accused of fraudulently obtaining the money from a UAE national, Sayeed Mohammed Altaf.
Sayeed filed a complaint on January 17, 2018 saying that he was duped of the millions by the suspects after he was introduced to a business deal that was alleged to involve the sale of gold.
The affidavit indicates that the police commenced investigations thereafter and arrested the politician alongside his co-accused in Parklands on January 22, 2018.
Police are said to have recovered more than 100 gold imitation cubes that they will forward to the Geology unit for further analysis.
Mbogo is a politician who vied for the Starehe Constituency MP seat and lost to Jubilee's Charles Njagua in the August polls after. He has filed a petition against Njagua's win.
Mbogo told The Nairobian in an earlier interview that he makes his money from several businesses, but could not divulge their names, citing privacy concerns by his partners.
"I can't tell you the names of my companies because I have partnered with others, and we have a clause on publicity regarding the company. I may be in the (news) papers in my personal capacity, but not the companies which employ more than 3,000 people and not just in Kenya," said Mbogo, who claims his net worth is way above a billion shillings.

However, since I started using the services of Transparent International, I have noted significant difference –my goods are delivered on time and in good condition.

Tonight will be the last night in the Tiger for the shakedown cruise. We drove to Redmond OR to go by the Tiger dealer there to get an electrical item taken care of. We had called in advance and told them the part we needed, as had Mark's team from Provan. When we showed up the part was there and it took about 15 minutes to install. We used the time there to look at Malayan #2 which was at the dealer for sale. Since it took much less time than we anticipated we decided to go to the DMV and register Scout. So Scout is now officially an Oregon vehicle.
Today the drive took us up US 395 through Lakeview Oregon and then OR 31 over to US 97. These are great roads to explore and I expect we will spend a lot of time out there in the future. As we got closer to Redmond the weather started to deteriorate and it began to snow pretty vigourously so any thoughts we may have had of pressing on to Portland ended. Instead we decided to toast the trip by going by a microbrewery (of course) in Redmond.
We are now in a RV park hunkered down for the night. If the weather forecast is correct this is going to be the coldest of the many cold nights at -2 degrees.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 126.96.36.199
We have a new account inside our MCC account. Inside this new account is a new domain. We are send a large number of ad groups to the same domain. In the thousands. They go to different landing pages.
The problem is our ads only display certain times and not others. Yesterday for example we received huge traffic till 2pm PST and then literally it just all stopped, no traffic for the rest of the day, ZERO! Today we received traffic till around 5am and now ZERO again.
The keywords are all active for search, we have content network on, ad scheduling is turned off so we display all the time, ad budget is insanely high. There is no setting that would cause this.
The only thing I can think of is because this is a new account with a new domain Adwords is almost testing us, instead of allowing us to display all the time, even though based on bid, quality score etc we should be displaying all the time.
With other accounts we have no problem receiving huge traffic immediately and displaying the whole time. These campaigns have tightly focused 1 ad group per domain.
Does anybody have any input with regards to this?

The project aims to prepare a feasibility study on the potential of an inter-governmental fund for the Eastern Partnership countries of the European Union (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine) to promote intra-regional civil society cooperation. The paper will assess the needs, determine the conditions of establishing a fund, offer alternative solutions, and serve as a means to engage and guide decision-makers of the involved countries.
While the target countries differ in many aspects, they share a considerable heritage from the Soviet era and therefore have the common roots of problems that affect their society and economy. To tackle the challenges (e.g. corruption, insufficient participation of citizens, poverty), regional cooperation and strengthening of civil society are essential. The region holds a strategic importance for the Visegrad Group (V4) countries which can contribute to its prosperity by sharing their experience and know-how on approved methods of cooperation. It is also the essential interest of the entire EU to foster stability and democracy in its Eastern neighborhood.
Project Description
A task force group of distinguished experts of the field will be established to work on the feasibility study. A wider audience of local stakeholders and professionals will be involved to discuss the draft of the paper in order to amend it with further insights of those affected. The final version of the study will be presented at the next Eastern Partnership Summit, with the aim of encouraging the governments of the Eastern Partnership countries to take the initiative of creating the Fund.

Pestana – adopted as Paulo
See pictures:
Pedro: such unlucky boy….
Name: Pedro
Gender: M
Age: d-o-b: 2010
Size: medium (18kg, 50cm)
Others: dewormed, vaccinated, castrated
Pedro was found on the street a few months ago. One of his back legs was in a lamentable state. In fact noone managed to explain what was the reason, it could be either an accident or a birth defect but basically the leg was listless and dead. He was not using it at all and it only made things more difficult for him. The decision was taken to have this leg amputated and the truth is that he is moving better. He is more lively, he runs with other dogs, he seems comfortable. Apart from this he is a VERY gentle dog, lovely with people and social with other dogs.

The Other Moderns: Sydney's Forgotten Design Legacy, The Other Moderns, 2017
'The Other Moderns' is a 300-page book of stories about Sydney's little-known émigré architects, interior designers and furniture makers working from the 1930s to 1960s co-produced by Molonglo, Hotel Hotel and NewSouth Publishing and edited by Rebecca Hawcroft.
The book highlights the direct connections between Sydney and the European design centres of Vienna, Berlin and Budapest, and provides a new understanding of the development of Australian modernism. These stories of the huge contribution that migrants made to Australia during and post WWII also serve to meditate more broadly on the contribution of migrants to Australian culture.
You can purchase a copy below. If you would like to purchase more than one copy or would like to organise international shipping please email us.
While Harry Seidler became one of Australia's most famous architects, little is known of his European-born contemporaries. 'The Other Moderns' profiles the work of architects such as Henry Epstein and Hugo Stossel, furniture companies Artes Studios and Gerstl Furniture, and designers Susan Kozma-Orlay, Paul Kafka and George Kóródy. It tells the story of the network of architects, designers, property developers, retailers and photographers who brought a distinctly European style to mid-century Australia.

Curls are sexy, and if you've been blessed with naturally curly hair, you should appreciate how lucky you are. For those of us with straight hair, it is always nice to try something else out from time to time, and beautiful flowing curls are a nice change from your typical straight style.
When it comes to creating beautiful curls you don't have to commit yourself to a perm that will damage your hair and leave you with a permanent head of curls. After all, you probably want to mix it up a bit. And sure, you could use a head of hot rollers to create your curls. But who wants to walk around with a head full of plastic for hours? If you want an easy and effective way to create beautiful curls, all you need is a professional curling iron.
When I tell you that you need a professional curling iron, I don't mean that you need to spend thousands of dollars on a hair tool. What I mean is you must choose a quality curling iron that will get the job done without damaging your hair. A ceramic curling iron is the best choice for most users. Ceramic is a moisture conducting material that will actually infuse your hair with moisture as it's curling your hair. What this means to you is that your hair won't end up damaged by the heat and it will actually look shiner and healthier than when you started. That's right, using a ceramic curling iron can actually improve the look of your hair.
Don't be fooled by people who tell you that hair tools damage your hair. Those people are probably using inexpensive, low quality tools with metal barrels that will snag, burn and singe hair. And yes, if you use those types of hair tools, they will damage your hair. Choose quality hair tools that will improve the look of your hair.
For even healthier looking curls, look for a curling iron with tourmaline in it. Tourmaline is a naturally occurring element that actually emits negative ions. Those negative ions infuse the hair locking in moisture and sealing each and every hair cuticle, so hair lays flat against the head giving you a beautiful smooth curl. Forget about the frizzies and the broken looking hair that often results from over styling, with a curling iron infused with tourmaline, your hair and curls will never look better.
When you use a curling iron to create your curls, you have so much more control over how you want them to look. Do you want loose flowing curls? Or tight spiral curls? You're in control when it comes to a curling iron unlike a perm or hot rollers where you are at the mercy of the rollers.
Don't be afraid of curling irons, once you use them a few times, it's easy to perfect the exact look that you are going for. They're very easy to use, and the best part about them is that they are affordable and if you want to go back to your straight look tomorrow, you can.
Hair Straightners With Tourmaline
January 5, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
If you are new to hair straighteners, or you simply haven't shopped around for an updated tool in a little while, you may be confused with some of the new products that are available these days. There have been considerable number of advancements in the hair styling world and that includes the development of new and exciting hair tools that work even better than before. If you are still using a glass or metal hair straightener to style your hair, stop now before you do even more damage to your hair! You owe it to yourself to check out what's new with hair irons.
When it comes to hair straighteners, you may have heard about new hair irons that utilize tourmaline. If you're unsure about what tourmaline is, it is a naturally occurring element that is found in nature. Tourmaline is a natural source of negative ions when heat is applied, and it emits a large quantity of these ions. The reason that tourmaline is important to hair straighteners is because when the heat from the iron heats up the tourmaline, negative ions are created and those negative ions are actually a great benefit to your hair.
When negative ions are emitted from a hair straightener, they infuse each hair, going directly into the hair shaft. Negative ions actually close the hair cuticle sealing in natural oils and moisture. Because all of the hair cuticles are flattened it means that every hair on your head will lay flat on your head instead of sticking up and looking frizzy and over treated. And because all of the natural oils and moisture are locked into each hair, your hair will be soft and manageable instead of dry and frizzy. In fact, your hair will likely look better than it ever has before, healthier and more radiant.
And there's more. Tourmaline also produces far infrared heat which works to dry your hair from the inside out instead of the other way around. What does that mean to you? Well, it means more time because it only takes a fraction of time to straighten your hair with a tourmaline iron than other types which means that you will be out the door with perfectly styled hair in no time. And because less heat is required to accomplish the straightened look it means that your hair isn't exposed to harmful heat for very long minimizing the chance of any damage ever occurring.
You shouldn't have to sacrifice the quality of your hair just because you want to achieve a straight look. And using the old style glass and metal plate hair irons cause a great deal of damage to the health of the hair. No longer will you have to suffer through damaged, unhealthy hair all in the name of style. With the new tourmaline hair straighteners, you can accomplish beautiful sleek and sexy styles and actually make your hair healthier and more beautiful than you ever thought possible. So stop sacrificing and make the leap to a tourmaline hair straightener today.
Best Hair Straighteners for African American Hair
December 17, 2008 by admin · Leave a Comment
If you are an African American, and have the notoriously difficult to style hair that is very coarse and thick, you may think that you will never be able to have straight hair, or that the only way you can achieve this style is to go through painful and long chemical hair straightening processes. But there is another way; it is possible for you too to have the sexy, sleek straight hair that you crave. All you need to do is to choose the best hair straighteners for African American hair.
Hair straighteners have come along way since the days when of metal plates, now you can get a hair straightener that will actually improve the look of your hair and you don't have to worry about causing any damage.
The best hair straighteners for African American hair all have one thing in common. They are top quality and they utilize some of the best features that you can find in hair irons. You need to look for an iron that has ceramic plates because the ceramic plates provide a moist heat to the hair instead of a dry damaging heat. The moist heat, and far infrared that ceramic produces infuses each hair sealing in the moisture and closing the cuticle. Because each hair is affected in the straightening process, the results you get are much better and longer lasting. You will not have to worry about your style losing it's look halfway through the day.
Another feature that you are common in all the best hair straighteners for African American hair is the addition of tourmaline. Tourmaline is a naturally occurring element that is a source of negative ions. These negative ions are the best discovery for straight hair then anything else. When the straightener passes over the hair, the negative ions infuse each hair shaft, sealing in moisture, natural oils and sealing the cuticle. The hairs lay flat against the head and have a radiant, healthy shine that you will not get with any other straighteners. Forget about the frizzy, over processed look that some African American women get when they straighten their hair. With tourmaline, this will not be a problem for you any more. You will now have beautiful, smooth and sleek hair with no need for a load of product to keep it smooth.
African American women should look for a hair straightener that has a high heat, however it is also advisable to get an iron that has a temperature adjustment on it. Typically, the thicker and coarser the hair is, the higher heat that is needed to straighten it. However, everyone has a different make up, and it's important to consider the differences in an individual's hair. So you may want to experiment with different temperatures before you automatically go with the highest heat setting.
There are a wide variety of hair irons out there for African American hair, and they are all gentle enough on your hair to use every day, so you can have straight hair everyday without the fuss or expense of chemical straightening procedures that can damage your hair.
Take Your Hat Off! Hair Straighteners for Dry, Damaged Hair
October 14, 2008 by admin · Leave a Comment
Dry, damaged, frizzy hair! It can be the curse of over styling and using too many products and hair styling tools. Some people also naturally have dry frizzy hair, and try as they might, they can't seem to tame it. What do these poor women do? In the past they may have hid their hair under hats claiming a "bad hair day" or pulled it back in a pony tail in an effort to tame it. But no longer do you have to hide from your hair. Even if you have dry, frizzy or damaged hair, you can use a hair straightener to help tame your locks.
That's right, there are now options for you if your hair is damaged but you still desperately want the sleek groomed style that a hair straightener can provide. Many of you may not believe me because you have been trained to stay away from hair styling products when your hair is in this condition. But I promise you, there are hair styling tools you can use. In fact, the best hair straightener for dry frizzy hair is also the best flat iron for damaged hair. It's a relatively new straightener to the market – a tourmaline hair straightener.
You may have heard some of the hype surrounding the new tourmaline hair straighteners, and it's not just hype. These truly are amazing hair tools that can be used for all types of hair, even if you're suffering damage. These hair irons utilize titanium plates that are absolutely superior when it comes to straightening hair. Titanium is an extremely smooth element, so it will not pinch, pull or tug on hair like other plate types.
Titanium also has the ability to heat up extremely fast and to hold a temperature constant so you do not have to worry about burning your hair. With a temperature adjustment, you can turn down the heat which will go further to protect damaged or processed hair. But the real innovation is with the addition of tourmaline which is a naturally occurring mineral that actually responds to heat by becoming electrically charged with negative ions. These negative ions work to close the hair cuticle which allows the hair to lay flat keeping it protected and making it look shiny and healthy at the same time.
Tourmaline technology also allows you to style your hair in half the time as regular hair straighteners which means there is much less time with the hair iron actually touching the hair which reduces the likelihood that any further damage will occur to the hair. This is because it produces far infrared heat that dries the hair from the inside out, instead of the outside in like other hair straighteners.
Not only are you able to use a hair straightener if you have dry, damaged and frizzy hair, but your hair will actually benefit from the use of a tourmaline hair straightener. So what are you waiting for? Take that hat off and treat your hair to some beautiful styling today with the best new hair straighteners for your hair type.

Welcome to my blog
My blog is about all things motherhood. From clothes and fashion, to events, and experiences raising kids in Los Angeles.
Here's a picture of my little 3 year old angel ready willing and able to start an Easter Egg hunt this past weekend. All geared up and completely out of character, I arrived early to get a good spot. We had a lovely picnic lunch, just me, Zachary, and his 4 month old little sister Aurora (Rory for short). The scene went down at the Los Encinos State Historic park. And bless their hearts, all the older ladies and gentemen running the event were what I assumed to be volunteers. They were dressed up in old-timey clothes and set the stage beautifully for a wonderful event. BUUUTTTT, as with all things Los Angeles and the word FREE, it was crazy over crowed. Including the small space set aside for the 3 and 4 year olds to hunt in.
15 minutes before the start we head over to get in queue. I ask my little dare devil one last time if he's sure he wants to do this. The answer I get back is a resounding yes. Ugghhh. Ok. We get a good spot, but then the crowds begin to decend upon us. One parent shoving her little girl to try and get to the front, knocks over Zachary and he falls, sitting his little tush into that very basket you see in the picture. Does this phase him? No, of course not. I pick him up and ask one more time…yes, he's sure he wants to do this. Arrggggh. Ok. The count down begins and the old-timey gentleman shouts "go" into his old-timey mega-phone. I, holding the infant in one arm, send the 3 year old off into the sea of children with the other arm. There he went. But where? He walked away and that was it!!! I could no longer see him. My precious baby boy and I had let him walk away!!! As I dig my way through the sea of parents surrounding the carrel I had just sent him into, I thought to myself, was I crazy??? YES! I begin to shout his name, deafening the parent next to me, but who cares right?! You're worried about taking pictures while my child's life is in jeopardy?! That one minute I didn't have eyes on him seemed like an eternity. I was picturing a line up of child molesters waiting on the other side of the corral to snatch up each child as they came in so innocently trusting these strangers giving them treats in plastic eggs. Then I saw him, he wasn't laying there bleeding, but instead my patient, strong, brave little guy, was calmly walking around looking for Easter eggs, with a big smile on his face. He had three eggs in his basket and by my calculations, that was enough. I shouted his name and this time he heard me, we met up at the front entrance to the corral and off we went. He was very excited to look in his three eggs and see what prizes they had inside. We headed home, I slowly began to recover from my nervous breakdown, but he was happy, and that was all that mattered.
Anyone else have a similar experience? When is it appropriate to talk to your childern about stranger danger? Of course for me, it was that day during the car ride home.

Daily Annoucements
I post here daily about what we accomplished in class each day, including handouts and links available to students on my CANVAS site.
Day 7, 2/2
After our free reading time, we reviewed yesterday's study of Gilgamesh by discussing what aspects of the introduction and "Death of Enkidu" sections were evidence of Gilgamesh going through the Hero's Journey. Students added textual evidence to their Hero's Journey notes handout. I then assigned them to read the "Search for Everlasting Life" (p. 25-29) and complete the following: vocabulary terms 4-6 on our list, sketches of the imagery describing the Scorpions/their home and the Garden of the Gods on the Elements of Fiction handout along with the related questions, and reading comprehension questions found and submitted through Canvas. I had hoped to also explain how to plan/outline the ACES assignment for the hero articles, but in my first period we did not have enough time.
Homework: Complete classwork as necessary, including submitting answers to reading comprehension questions through Canvas by the end of the day (11:59pm).

If we channel our thoughts in a specific direction – with our full devoted attention, we have the ability to change how we feel.
In our dreamworld, where there are far less distractions than in daily life, we can take this a bit further – we not only have the power to change how we feel – but we can also change an actual situation in less than a nanosecond!
Chances are if you are working on changing your thoughts in a dream, you may be dreaming – and if you know you're dreaming – you're having a lucid dream! A lucid dream comes with golden opportunities for enhancing our awareness, practicing mindfulness, and channel our focused attention on desired goals.
Although you can't control all elements in a lucid dream, there is plenty of room for exercising creative thinking!
Maybe try changing the color of the sky from blue to pink, create a computer out of thin air, decorate your dinner table with delicious colorful foods, enter a beautiful temple, swim with the dolphins, dance with fairies – the world is your oyster!
If you are interested in practicing more lucid dreaming, it starts with conscious awareness in daily life! Pay attention to what you're doing, experiencing, and what is happening around you – at all times. This is a great way of becoming more mindful, so it really is a win-win! If you notice something that seems slightly off, you may be dreaming! Do a little test – maybe take a giant step and see if you lift off, or do a little happy spin, and see if you keep spinning!
Happy Dreaming!

Progress ... 6.0%
** Friday, April 28th, 2017 **
It will make a year since my first blog post as Misunderstood Genius.
Time flies doesn't it?
I originally started a similar project back in 2011, but it didn't last long ... it failed for a number of reasons. The look and feel was off - my topics did not have enough substance - no presence of an outline for posts/ideas - and my audience engagement was nonexistent. For several years following my scrap of the original, I continued to wish what could be. I could not live with not trying at atleast one last time on something I was truly passionate about ...
... outside of dancing, my lemonade-stand type of advice-offering, and my comedic discourse every now and then.
Somewhere along the line, I felt this could be my mark of success - this one thing - if executed correctly - could make all the difference in the lives of others, but also mine.
I enjoy seeing others persevere despite their negative/harsh circumstances - you learn more and more about yourself - what areas you need to improve in - what is really important in life through personal struggle and witnessing the success of others who have found ways to overcome it.
Truthfully, this project is not where I would like it to be - my content/my messages - the engagement/support - it can all be better - it can all be greater.
It starts with me - no one else - I am aware.
I can do better. I need to do better.
I am capable of so much more.
I know it - it is rooted deep - potential waiting to be unleashed.
There is plenty work to be done - spreading the word/continuing to build the brand - expanding the audience/reaching the right people - executing the months of ideas sitting in my head despite running this solo.
I made it this far though - almost an entire year.
I just believe it can be more than what it is.
Bare with me, supporters - it will get there.

Becoming a Brand Ambassador: How does this work for both you and the company?
Vicky Goody
At Smart Grooming we have been using Brand Ambassadors for several years and it has worked well supporting them as well as them supporting us to promote and introduce our brand to new customers.
Firstly, being chosen to become an Ambassador for a brand is an honour and shows that the brand is willing to support the individual. It involves commitment, diligence, loyalty, enthusiasm and for our brand, in particular, good turnout skills ensuring that presentation of both horse and rider are key elements to representing Smart Grooming.
We currently have commitment to around 40 brand ambassadors, which is the most we can take on each year. We like to interact and get to know our ambassadors on a personal level and find that this number works well for us.
Brand Ambassadorship has become a very popular way for both the brand or company to advertise and promote through social media as it involves immediate interaction with both the ambassadors and the products. We receive daily requests through our social media channels and via email from interested parties wanting to become involved with our team, and so have put together a guide to help you understand what it involves and what a brand such as ours would expect in return, after all, not much in this world is absolutely free!
A Brand Ambassador's role
A Brand Ambassador will have been chosen for a number of reasons to help promote and represent the brand. It may be because they have active and well thought out social media pages or are good at putting together videos and blogs.
They may be representing their sport at a high level and have a large number of followers, or they may be at a grass roots level and be particularly good at helping and showing how to use our products.
All are chosen predominantly for being proactive, friendly and helpful both in person or on their social media pages, diligent and loyal to the brand, and learning quickly about the product range and what is good to recommend and use.
So many people want to be brand ambassadors because they think that they will receive lots of free products or discounted products. Yes, in return for promoting, this does happen, but it does have to be worked for. We give our Ambassadors a personal discount code to use to purchase all our branded products as well as having access to personalised and branded clothing, which is only available to the ambassadors.
As a business, we cannot afford to give away products or discounts without having our products actively promoted in the way that we outline when we take on an ambassador. This involves regular postings on personal social media pages as well as sharing posts, and taking active notice on what we are posting on our own social media pages.
Some of our ambassadors additionally will write blogs on products as well as compiling tried and tested articles, either by photos or videos and putting them on their own accounts as well as sharing them with us so that we can use the content too. They will also hand out flyers for us and talk about our brand whenever possible.
Loyalty is a key issue too. We choose ambassadors that are not already involved with similar businesses as we don't want to have a conflict of interest. We do expect that a Brand Ambassador uses our products during the time that they are representing us and we would expect them not to use other products that are similar from other brands during this time.
Below are a few top tips to guide you down the route of applying for the role of Brand Ambassador.
1. Identify the brand or area that you want to represent.
You need to be really passionate on the subject that you want to represent. For example, if you just want to jump on and go, and are not keen on all the grooming and tidying then don't apply to us! Obviously we are looking for people who are tidy, well presented and want to turnout out their own horses and ponies to a high standard. This doesn't mean to say it has to be at top level, we are keen to for applicants to apply that are competing at the lower levels too.
2. Set up social media accounts
It is important to have good social media accounts that are well thought out and not filled with inappropriate images and content. We always recommend setting up accounts that are dedicated just for use for equestrian content. Currently we cover Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and You Tube. Building up followers is also key to representing a brand, as you will need to be able to share branded content to your followers and friends.
3. Engage with the brands
Once you have found the brands that interest you, start engaging with them on their posts so that you catch their eye! Most companies spend a fair amount of time on their social media pages each day, so you will soon be noticed if you like and comment on their posts.
4. Making initial contact
Think about what you are going to write, do not send a hasty message through social media. This is hugely frowned upon. Take time to compile a letter to send either by post or email. Include, why you are interested in the brand, if you have used any products, and if so which ones. It is important to be able to compile a letter well and to make it engaging for us to read. Make it stand out by including one or two photos of you with your horse or pony but please not more than this as we really only need to get an idea and not the whole photo album!
Ensure it is really you that wants to be involved, and not an application from your parents, or agent.
Start to engage with posts on our social media pages at the same time as applying, as we will be checking both your pages and our pages when we get applications. There is often only one chance, so if there is nothing interesting on your pages, this will not help your application.
If you have been out competing or have featured in teams, in magazines or have had blogs or articles published in magazines, be sure to make these stand out for us. If you have used our products, and really do know about them prior to making an application, this will really be a huge positive too for us.
What else is expected from a Brand Ambassador?
If you have been given the opportunity of becoming a Brand Ambassador, think carefully before accepting. Read through the acceptance letter which will outline what the company requires from you.
They will list what they expect you to do with regard to regular social media postings, sending in competition updates and photos and giving feedback on products.
Stay in touch with them. It is helpful to give them a call or drop an email to them every week or so to keep them in the loop. Most companies are very busy and are not able to contact every ambassador or check their pages every day or week, so this will prove very helpful and you may then find you get additional products or clothing for being super helpful!
Show off the brand as much as possible
If you have been given products and/or branded clothing, make sure you show case the products and clothing at every opportunity. Write up a tried and tested, along with good before and after photos as well as a video using the products too. We always ask our ambassadors to wear clothing in any of the product shots or videos to ensure there is consistent branding and colour going on.
Use the products as much as you can and especially out and about at shows or anywhere in the public eye as well as giving regular shout outs on social media, making sure the company/brand is tagged in what you are doing.
Ask the brand or company if you can do competitions or give-aways on your page or to be allowed a discount code to use on a limited basis for your followers. We encourage this way of promotion to our proactive ambassadors. This way the Ambassador will also benefit from this sort of promotion as it will increase their page followers and friends too
Try not to be involved with too many brands and if you are invited to be a multi Brand Ambassador, check with your existing brand(s) first. Nothing will upset a brand more than seeing social media postings promoting another related or similar brand. However, when utilised correctly, multi ambassadors can work in favour for brands that are happy working together and should be encouraged where possible.
Check in
Check in regularly with your brand. Feedback is always important and well received. It may be that you can give them ideas on a new product or on a re-design on packaging or if a product can be improved in anyway.
Make sure you ask them if you are doing enough or if there is anything else they may like you to do, or give them some ideas on what you might like to do for them in the way of additional promotion. This will always give you brownie points!
To maximise your efforts for the brand you will need to spend a lot of time and energies in getting the most out of being a brand ambassador. We now have a yearly renewal policy, and if we have ambassadors that haven't kept in touch or done little for us, they are unlikely to be renewed the following year.
It is very important to realise that an Ambassadorship is very sought after and there are always plenty of other eager people wanting to take over your shoes if you are not doing a really good job.
If you are lucky enough to be given the chance of being an Ambassador, grasp it with both hands, enjoy the challenge and commitment of working for a brand and team. It will give you an insight into the working commercial world as well as rewarding you in so many other ways.
Good luck and hope opportunities will now come your way! They are definitely there for the committed.

Keeps you on your toes, gets you on your feet
If you were to play funk music for a group of people who had never heard it before, you would be hard-pressed to find someone in that group who didn't dig it at least a little bit; there's something about the groovy, peppy genre that makes it universally pleasing to the ears, at least at first. Many people in this group, however, may grow tired of funk after a short time because, well, it can often get a bit repetitive. There's lots of funk artists out there that tend to repeat the same riff over and over, and whose songs seem to all blend together, which the discerning ear may love, but the casual listener may find monotonous. Minneapolis-based funkmasters, PHO, have arrived on the scene to prove that funk can be dynamic, without tampering with the classic, captivating funk vibe. "Still Waiting," off of the band's 2017 sophomore effort, Two, is a prime example of their ability to slap listeners in the face with pure, unfiltered grooves, while incorporating stylistic variation that keeps you on your toes and gets you on your feet.
"Still Waiting" begins with nothing but the most basic funk ingredients: snappy, yet legato percussion, quick, simple electric guitar loops, and a bass line that takes the lead. Keys then enter the fray, then more guitar patterns, then the horns make their presence known, and before you know it, you've got yourself a delectably funky, piled high layer cake. At this point, you might expect PHO to settle into the rhythm they've constructed for the long haul, but instead, they hit you with a radical tempo change, and the song briefly interludes into what sounds closer to rock-focused soul music, before plunging back into their original rhythm and letting the synthesizer solos run wild for a time. After again shortly returning to the rock-focused soul pattern, the track takes a turn into a synth-led eighties-inspired electronica feel, before working their way back into their energetic funk sound, leading to a rousing climax and abrupt ending. If you've yet to introduce yourself to the wide world of funk, give this little ditty a spin, and you might never be the same again.

(COOL model: Connection with yourself + Ownership of your day + Organizing your day+ Laugh -bring joy to what you do)
(Evaluation for your daily activity: Does it matter? Does it move you towards your mission in life? So what is next? What can eliminate?)
How to design your productive day
Most people focus on the minority sources of success ()
Daily mind to approach a day:
1. Decide I am the owner of my day
I can regulate my action, my response to a situation.
I have a freedom to choice. I have my free wheel to be the ownership of my day.
We take back control of our life, our day. We look at life as things happen for us.
If not we will feel that we are victim of our day, we tend to be victim of our own emotions.
Just decide. Ask yourself that question every morning.
Anything happens just pause and use your intentional self to decide what meaning you want to give into it.
We are the give instead of passive taker.
Everyday when you wake up, ask this question.
2. Intention over impulse
If not we will re-act to things with our fast system without intention - it is impulsive intention.
The first reaction without intention or your best self (your fast system in your brain).
For example: Oprah team, before a day they ask 'What is our intention today".
"What is my focus today?"
Before you start something, you decide what intention, what meaning do you give into the action.
It is the practicing process.
It is consistent process.
Just take a moment in the morning for yourself.
Just pause before taking action.
Recommended book: The power of intention
3. Slow down: 3 things that you feel thankful for
To be mindful even you have a lot of projects.
Never just click the sence and not being in the sence.
Slow down the moment that matter.
We lost the meaning of moment. The only way to live with intention our conscious mind is to be
fully in present.
If you see something nice, just appreciate that moment.
4. Bring the joy: 3 things you can do to bring joy to people you meet
- Change the energy around you to get more joy
- Bring your positive self
- Bring meaningful things into things
- For ex: Walk inside a room with joyful intention.......
5. Difference: What can you do differently to go to the next levels (strategies)
- 3 GOALS: keep you on track
Actions for each goal
- people reaching out/waiting on/accumulated
- Projects with outcomes for your day
- Evaluation: what matters? what next?
Eliminating things do not matter

Container of salt.
Almost all Americans (90%) consume too much dietary sodium, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Far too much, in fact. "The average American eats 20 times more sodium than is recommended," says Lauri Wright, Ph.D., R.D.N., L.D., assistant professor in public health at the University of South Florida and spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
Sodium is an electrolyte that your body needs to function properly. It contributes to muscle and nerve functioning and helps to control blood pressure and blood volume. Too much dietary sodium, however, increases your risk of high blood pressure. According to the CDC, more than 800,000 people in the U.S. die each year from diseases associated with high blood pressure, including heart disease and stroke.
Aging alone is a major risk for developing high blood pressure. At age 75, about 67% of men are affected and almost 80% of women. Thus, seniors need to be especially vigilant about limiting dietary sodium.
"When sodium is absorbed into your bloodstream through your digestive tract, excess water is also absorbed," explains Dimitri Cefalu, M.D., medical director at Seabrook, an Erickson Living community in Tinton Falls, N.J. "That excess water increases your blood volume, which is one way your blood pressure can go up. Other factors may also play a role, including how well your kidneys work, because your kidneys control how much sodium stays in your body."
When you are younger, your body can compensate for excess dietary sodium in part because your kidneys are healthy. "But aging may lead to a decrease in kidney function," Cefalu adds. "Any chronic condition also puts more stress on your body's compensatory mechanisms, and some medications affect how your body processes sodium."
Where it hides
"Despite what many people think, use of the salt shaker is not the main cause of too much sodium," Wright says. "In fact, about 75% of dietary sodium comes from eating canned, processed, convenience, and restaurant foods."
The CDC estimates that 44% of sodium in the American diet comes from ten types of foods: breads, cold cuts and cured meats, pizza, fresh and processed poultry, soups, cheese, pasta dishes, sandwiches, mixed-meat dishes such as meatloaf, and salty snacks. Some foods that seem otherwise healthful may also have significant sodium, such as cottage cheese and certain fresh meats such as chicken and turkey, which may have added salt solution to enhance flavor and maintain freshness. "In some instances, a grilled chicken sandwich could contain more sodium than a hamburger," says Miriam Pappo, M.S., R.D., C.D.N., director of clinical nutrition at Montefiore Medical Center in Bronx, N.Y.
Stringent guidelines
The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends adults consume no more than 2,300 milligrams (mg) of sodium, which is roughly equivalent to one teaspoon of table salt (table salt is about 44% sodium). For the best health, however, the AHA states most adults should limit themselves to an upper limit of 1,500 mg (a little less than one-half teaspoon table salt). People with severe heart failure, liver cirrhosis, or kidney disease may need to limit sodium even more.
Take a glance at a few nutrition labels on your favorite foods and you can see how quickly sodium adds up. Do not necessarily rely on the sometimes imprecise language on the front of the product. "Manufacturers can claim 'low sodium' if their product has 140 mg or less sodium per serving," Pappo explains. "A label that reads 'reduced' or 'lower' sodium, however, means it is at least 25% less than the usual amount in that particular food from that particular brand."
Have your calculator ready because a reduced-sodium version of soy sauce, for instance, may still contain a whopping 500–750 mg of sodium per serving. In addition, different brands of the same product can have vastly different amounts of sodium. Two different slices of whole-wheat sandwich bread can be very different thicknesses, thus one may have 150 mg of sodium and the other have 100 mg.
Salt substitutes
There are many salt substitutes on store shelves. Some contain various nonsalt-based spices, but some may contain salts such as potassium chloride, or mixtures of sodium chloride and other salts. If you have medical conditions—kidney disease in particular—or take certain medications such as diuretics, talk to your doctor about whether certain salt substitutes should be part of your diet.
Relying on salt substitutes may not be the best way to go in the long term, however. "Your goal should be to reset the salt-craving center of your brain," Cefalu says. Studies show that sour and pungent seasonings work best to "trick" your brain. "Be creative and season your foods with spices such as lemon, garlic, ginger, vinegar, and pepper instead of salt," Wright advises.
Making it easier for consumers
Recently, the FDA issued recommendations for changes to nutrition information labels. "Grams of sodium and percent of the daily value (DV) will continue to be provided but in a larger font," Wright says. "A quick guide for sodium is 5% DV or less is considered low and 20% DV or more is considered high.'' The new label changes should be phased in by mid-2018.
In addition, last year the FDA released voluntary sodium targets for food manufacturers and restaurants. Many companies and restaurants are aiming for this standardization, which should make it easier for you to make choices about dietary sodium.

I am adding #10-32 threads to my model. I used the thread command and selected the correct thread type, however, the model itself is not showing the threads in the part or the drawing. It "shows" the threads by having a strange shaded area (picture included). I need to convert this file to an STL for a 3D printer. Is there a way I can make the threads show when I convert the file? Thanks in advance.
The thread you have added is only a visible representation, not a real thread. If you need the actual thread you'll have to model it. This would be done with the helix cut and a triangular sketch.
First find your thread specs, then draw a triangle and place it correspondingly. Use this tool and read the pointers at the bottom of the screen. You'll also need a line along the middle of the cylinder to sweep the helix.
Thank you for your help. I tried this and I almost got it correct, except there is still an error. When I went to do the helix cut I selected my triangle cut and selected the line at the center of the body to rotate around and clicked the check button. When it asked me how many turns it needed I said 5 because the 10-32 thread has 5 turns. However when I went to go through with this command I received an error message on how this command could not be complete (picture attached). It also will not let me delete the cutout saying "The selected items could not be deleted." Any advice on how to complete this properly?
@OliviaK, your thread looks really nice. Without the file it's hard to say why the delete is failing. Most probably you haven't selected the entire feature, or you have added fillets or other features, which must first be deleted.
If there are no other features, try picking the cutout from the model tree and deleting. This will make sure all associated parts have been selected.
When I try to delete the cutout I receive the same error message on how "this item cannot be deleted." I would like the thread to complete correctly and not give me an error message. Even if I tell the command to do 4 number of turns the cutout turns out in the same fashion, except I do not receive an error message. I need a #10-32 thread and I feel like my dimensions are all correct. I am not sure what to do to solve this issue.
Hi @OliviaK
best would be to upload Your file.
Only then man can look into it in further detail to see why it behaves and what the reason is.

Inclusion for all students
Jumeirah College is an inclusive school. Our vision for Inclusive Education is that we achieve excellence together through all students receiving the support they need to meaningfully belong to their school and wider community, feel valued for their contributions, engage purposefully in learning and experience academic, cultural, social and emotional success in a common learning environment.
At Jumeirah College we welcome children with a range of learning preferences, including Students of Determination (students with special education needs and disabilities) and students who are gifted and talented. Our staff are committed to educating all students in a common learning environment with similar-aged peers. At Jumeirah College diversity is made visible as a strength. Respectful relationships are continually enhanced and all children fully participate in learning through adjustments and teaching strategies tailored to meet the diverse range of learners reflected in wider society.
At Jumeirah College we implement Individual Education Plans for our Students of Determination. We have secure links with numerous Educational Psychologists, Behavioral Optometrists and Occupational Therapists. Sharing educational history with Jumeirah College prior to a place being offered is essential so that staff can ensure an appropriate assessment of educational need, educational plan and resourcing is in place. Admission is not conditional on the submission of a medical diagnosis and we have effective transition processes in place for all children.
Students are not refused admission based only on their experience of a special education need or disability (SEND) and we give sibling priority for admission to students who experience SEND. Staff follow KHDA guidance and procedures for scenarios where, very rarely, it may not be in the best interests of the child to be placed in Jumeirah College. This information will be shared with the KHDA, following expected procedures.

The Tesoro Corporation is a US based petroleum company and has two divisions. Its line of business entails the refining and marketing of petroleum based products. Its activities are generally concentrated within the western US as well as mid-continental region of the US and generally, these are carried out by the said divisions. Generally, the products which form the product-base for the Tesoro are jet fuel, gasoline, gasoline blend stocks, diesel fuels and a variety of heavy petroleum fuel oils (Tsocorp.com, 2014). All these are basically products of refining petroleum crude. Also, it is important to note that the corporation manufactures petroleum coke, asphalt and liquefied petroleum gas; which are highly demanded by its extensive customer base. The company has over 900 retail stations and outlets and captures commercial, wholesale and retail customers. Last but not least, the company is estimated to have 7 refineries with an output capacity of about 650000 barrels every day. Generally, the company does business under the famous brands such as Tesoros, USA gasoline, Mobil, ARCO, Mira star and Shell; although it also incorporates third party business entities . This paper seeks to explore on the strategic external factors affecting the petroleum industry in the US and in particular, the Tesoro Corporation.
Overview and analysis of the strategic external factors affecting the company/industry
An Overview of Oil & Gas Industry in the United States
Generally speaking, the US petroleum refining industry is one lucrative industry in which the business entities which established themselves make good returns. For instance, the estimates total revenues, which were accrued within this industry were about $750.00 Billion USD and estimated profit margins of up to 6.4 percent of the revenues. However, it is important to highlight that the entry into the business has a high level scope of barriers such as heavy regulations and the aspects of high startup capital. This generally due to the fact that over 350 established business entities are already in action. There is high competition and this poses threats to the non-fully stabilized firms. However, opportunities are still available since technology has not been fully exploited to add advantage to the industry (Ibisworld.com, 2014).
However, many business analysts are arguing that the industry is recovering from a recession in which case they argue that in the recent years of 2011 through 2012, the prices of these products in the US had been lower than outside. Thus, in the near future, refined petroleum oil products are anticipated to sell better. These statistics therefore present a good opportunity for investment. Also, research indicates that in the near future, more energy consumption within the US and outside is bound to go higher as a result of increasing industrialization. All these make it valid to appreciate the oil and gas industry to be a better avenue of investment in the future and specifically within the next five years (Ibisworld.com, 2014). However, it's important to appreciate that campaigns which push for the adoption of green energy technologies are seen to reduce the revenues to about 0.5 % increase in an annual scale up to the next five years as well.
The Tesoro Corporation has been in the energy industry for quite a good duration and has established remarkable successes in the past. However, the journey for this company has not been smooth like for any other competing business entities. At this juncture, the above overview offers insight to enable us regard the Opportunities for Tesoro as possibilities of improvement in its technology levels, expected high returns due to increasing oil and gas demand in the U.S. and the outside (thus more export opportunities) and the ever rising oil prices. Likewise, the overview of the industry suggests the following as the possible threats to the Tesoro. These include, but not limited to: intense competition and barriers such as tough environmental laws. These laws can be attributed to the doctrine of the "go green campaigns" (Datamonitor-Firm, 2000).
SWOT analysis
n/a for this paper
n/a for this paper
Generally speaking, the opportunities and threats for any business form the external factors. For Tesoro Corporation, the analysis of these factors can be summarized and presented as follows:
From the above table, it is quite apparent the Tesoro Corporation still stands a great chance of soaring high in the petroleum refining industry in the US despite the dynamics within the latter. This therefore suggests that the industry is still ripe for exploitation by competent business entities.
Under this section, the paper shall explore on how the political, economic, social and technological factors have and shall likely govern the business environment for the Tesoro Corporation. Generally, the PEST analysis focuses on:
At this juncture, it becomes important to engage the porter 5 criteria to establish the future of the Tesoro Corporation as well as entire petroleum refining industry in the US. Just to mention, the porter 5 analysis has been a criterion which serves as a strong business tool for determining where the power of a firm lies. The criterion provides a platform for checking 5 aspects: supplier power, buyer power, competitive rivalry, threat of substitution as well as the threat of new entry.
From the above analyses, it beats logic to declare the Tesoro cooperation as powerful in all aspects except that it could easily be substituted by other market players if its management does not embrace technology. In all other aspects, the corporation is generally stable and authoritative to make its choices (for supplier, buyer and rivalry). Threat of new entry is practically minimal since entry into the oil and gas industry is dependent on capital intensive decisions as well as tough regulations (Ibisworld.com, 2014). Thus the firm is competitively powerful and stands excellent chances of taking the lead in the industry.
The Tesoro Corporation is one of the leading industry players in the US energy's Oil and gas sector and has grown to an international level in the dissemination of its services. The refining industry has faced and still faces many challenges despite of which the corporation seems to cope with. It has its products marketed under renowned brands such as the Tesoros, USA gasoline, and Mira star, Mobil, ARCO and Shell. Analysis based on SWOT and PEST as well as the porter 5 forces criterion shows a sustained future for the Tesoro Corporation as well as the Oil and gas industry at large, which remains competitive and faces heavy regulations (Datamonitor-Firm, 2000). Generally, the company's power lies within its managerial abilities to keep up with the pronounced competition especially from company's such as shell, Philips66, marathon Exxon Mobil and Marathon petroleum Company.

Living Dead Girl by Elizabeth Scott
There aren't many books you will find as emotionally challenging as this gripping, heart-wrenching story of child abduction and sexual and physical abuse. It is a book you don't want to read written in a style that you can't resist. With taut ease and spare mechanical language, Scott lays out cold and indifferent sentences the way a mason deftly, methodically sets down bricks. Spellbound by the process, you don't notice the wall form around you, or how it closes you in until it's too late and you feel caught and hopeless until it hurts. Just like Alice.
Alice has spent the five years since her abduction yearning for freedom from her nightmare, but terrified of the potential consequences of her escape – that her family will die, just like the family of the girl who preceded Alice as a sexual captive. Now a maturing fifteen-year-old and assiting her abductor find a new, younger victim, Alice knows that soon, at last, she will be free. Or dead. Which seems an acceptable alternative to the painful series of deprivations, threats, manipulations and abuses that comprise her life, such as it is. For really, she is emotionally dead.Living Dead Girl offers insight, if no answers, into headlines that are all-too-familiar: Elizabeth Smart in Utah, or the woman in Austria kept captive for 24 years by her father, or countless other abductions in the news. Why do the victims stay and how is it that they are so completely controlled? How does the victim endure?
Fear is a powerful attraction for many adolescent readers (who love Koontz, King, Rice) and this book will appeal to those same mature teen readers. While reading it I thought of the teen girls who love true crime stories and devour books about Jeffery Dahmer or Ted Bundy and even pass around The Executioner's Song. These are not YA titles, but do have huge appeal to a segment of teen readers. There have not been many attempts in YA publishing to explore the horror behind the bleakest headlines (i can only think of Cormier's Tenderness) and it can be unsettling to librarians concerned about the availability of this title for younger teens. It is my experience that books like this, such as 13 Reasons Why, the recent book about teen suicide, find their own audience by word of mouth among curious teen readers.

Unsettled : the problem of loving Israel by Marc Aronson
Israelis and Palestinians have been at war even before the creation of the state of Israel in May, 1948. This seemingly insurmountable problem has dogged US presidents from Harry Truman through George Bush. Seldom is there a day without an incident, whether it is a rocket attack, stone throwing, or a suicide bomber. Aronson, a supporter of Israel, tries to present the issues even-handedly. He asks and answers important questions like, Why is Israel hated, How did Israel come to be, Can Israel Occupy Conquered Lands and Be True to Its Ideals, and most importantly for the future, How Can Israel Be a Strong State, a Jewish Homeland, and Truly Democratic. Aronson examines the problems from an American perspective by comparing Israel's treatment of Israeli Palestinians to our treatment of African-American citizens before the Civil Rights Movement. This short book takes a comprehensive look at thorny issues written for teens. Aronson's dramatic solution calling for Israel to become a democracy rather than a theocracy is a long way off. By showing both Israel's and the Arab's strengths and weaknesses, Aronson has done a good job explaining how and why each side regards the other and what needs to be done to change the battlefield.

Pretty in Pink with NikeLab (Release Date)
Feature LV just dropped these images off of the NikeLab Air Max 1 "Pinnacle" Pack, releasing this Thursday, May 4th, 2017. The premium two piece capsule by Nike Footwear uses the Air Max 1 as a base silhouette; dressing each one in perforated, buttery soft leather. The addition of a mesh tongue and tonal laces gives the Air Max 1 "Pinnacle" Pack a nostalgic feel, matched nicely against the off-white signature Air midsole unit.
While I'm generally not a fan of pink, both the versatile beige and feather light pink options included in the Nike Air Max 1 "Pinnacle" Pack ($160) are on my must cop list. Swaggy AFFFFF.

It is not quite five in the morning as I write this, so I hope you'll forgive a second post bashing Nickleback. I need something to brighten this bleak hour.
The album Dark Horse was reviewed in Eye Weekly by Dave Morris, and he put into words that unpleasant feeling the band gives me:
we all have a cousin or a high-school friend who basically is Chad Kroeger, a borderline-dangerous neanderthal whose ultimate fantasy is a stripper with a heart of gold who wouldn't mind bailing him out of the drunk tank.
This demographic made up a disturbing proportion of my highschool's population.

Lawyers and bankers are the two professions known for depriving people of sleep. I'm not sure anyone did the statistics but I'll wager that more lawyers and bankers die at work than any other profession, save perhaps for the military. (Oh but wait, maybe hawkers too, those who are serious about their food and get up early to brew the stock etc but I digress)
With a child, there is no way to make up for loss sleep. If I slept late one night, too bad, the next morning I get woken up at the same time by a toddler who wants to do art and craft. The constant sleep deprivation is probably the reason for the marked decrease in memory. A colleague told me to do something yesterday morning and by afternoon I can't for the life of me remember what it was. I remember the general area, the file to which it relates, but I cannot remember the exact item. This morning, after 4 hours of sleep, I easily recalled what it was. The brain probably re-organises the information during sleep so its now all easily retrievable.
If this is what a mere 4 hours does, imagine what good it does to your brain and body if you had full 8 hours of sleep constantly.

Indianapolis bank foreclosures will be auctioned off at deep discounts at the downtown Mariott Hotel this weekend. The starting bids for the foreclosure homes will range from $500 to $59,000.
A foreclosed house on Brewster Road, which was previously priced at $300,000 will be auctioned off at the starting price of $59,000 while another house previously priced at $400,000 will be auctioned off at the starting price of $500.
Larry Mitchell, president of the Metropolitan Indianapolis Board of Realtors, said it is crucial for the recovery of the Indianapolis housing market to reduce substantially the number of foreclosures.
Mitchell added that he is expecting more first time home buyers to participate in the auction because of the expiration of the $8,000 federal tax credit on November 30. Many are hoping though that the incentive would be extended.
First time home buyers are expected to be the main group that will buy the foreclosure homes in the auction because of the attractive prices, according to Mitchell.
Housing analysts in the area said that the Indianapolis market has been showing some signs of recovery. In August, 24 percent of all homes sold were Indianapolis bank foreclosures, marking a drop from the 30-percent share in March. In August, new listings accounted for 14 percent of all home sales, a drop from the 15-percent share in March.
Pending sales also increased by two percent, the first increase in pending sales experienced by Indianapolis in over 12 months.
Mitchell contended that the decline in the percentage of foreclosures in the market compared to foreclosure levels in 2007 and 2008 is a strong indication of a recovery in Indianapolis. He cited the role of investors and first time home buyers in absorbing the foreclosures.
If the number of foreclosures in the market is reduced substantially, owners of homes who are selling their non-foreclosed properties will have a level playing field.
At the foreclosure auction this weekend, over 70 foreclosed homes will be sold off. At the auction held by the same company in March, 79 foreclosed properties were sold.
Based on a foreclosure survey conducted in 203 major metropolitan areas in the nation, the Indianapolis-Carmel metro area had more than 11,000 foreclosure postings during the first 6 months of this year. This means that one per 68 households in the locale was hit with a default or foreclosure filing.
