text: My personal Style Icon has to be Robyn Rihanna Fenty, this woman has been a trail blazer in the music, fashion and beauty industry. After a successful career in music she decided to enter the fashion world by collaborating with Puma and creating her own shoe line, she debuted her first clothing collection with Puma in 2016 and it's been a hit ever since. She later released Fenty Beauty in 2017 which was a riot in the beauty community because of her iconic "Trophy Wife" highlighter and wide range of foundations, 40 to be exact. Rihanna is an unapologetic risk taker, this translates and influences her fashion sense, her style is definitely out of the box with bold colors, different silhouettes and overall sex appeal, she doesn't care about the critics, she wears whatever she wants whenever and where ever, and that's why we love Rihanna. Her confidence and attitude carry these bold outfits tremendously, she can talk the talk and walk the walk…fiercely. Here are some of my favorite outfits from the iconic Miss Rihanna..

Washington, DC (July 11, 2013) – The Coalition of Airline Pilots Associations (CAPA) representing over 25,000 professional pilots applauds the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) announcement regarding "new pilot qualification standards". CAPA has long advocated that the Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) license must serve as the minimum qualification standard for all Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 121 pilots. The new requirements will greatly increase Part 121 airline pilot qualifications and is a significant improvement in providing "One Level of Safety" for the traveling public.
During the summer of 2010, CAPA participated in an FAA Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC) to help create new standards for First Officers flying for Part 121 carriers. CAPA strongly believes that in order to safely operate aircraft today's complex, high-speed aircraft through a congested, multi-faceted air traffic control network in difficult weather environments, both pilots must be highly qualified. CAPA recommended that the new requirements include the Air Transport Pilot (ATP) rating, in addition to aircraft-specific type ratings. These requirements combined with a curriculum of aeronautical knowledge and flight training, and a specific amount of flight experience, will provide for better qualified professional aviators.
As professional airline pilots and experts in the field, we believe that the requirement to possess an ATP is a definable common sense standard and a prerequisite experience requirement for all pilots who shoulder the responsibility of safely transporting the traveling public in our air transportation system.
The FAA has greatly enhanced the safety of the traveling public with these new regulations. CAPA applauds their efforts by recognizing the value of experienced and well-trained crews in U.S. commercial airline cockpits.
Also, we would like to recognize the tireless efforts by all CAPA representatives whose considerable contributions over the years have served to make these new regulations a reality.

A woman was walking down the street when she was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman who asked her for a couple of dollars for dinner.
The woman took out her bill fold, extracted ten dollars and asked, "If I give you this money, will you buy some wine with it instead of dinner?"
"No, I had to stop drinking years ago?", the homeless woman replied.
"Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food?" the woman asked "No, I don't waste time shopping?", the homeless woman said.
"I need to spend all my time trying to stay alive."
"Will you spend this at a beauty salon instead of food?" the woman asked. "Are you NUTS?" replied the homeless woman. "I haven't had my hair done in 20 years!"
"Well," said the woman, "I'm not going to give you the money. Instead, I'm going to take you out for dinner with my hubby and myself tonight.
The homeless woman was astounded. "Won't your husband be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty disgusting."
The woman replied, "That's Okay. It's important for him to see what a woman looks like after she has given up shopping, hair appointments and wine."

In a candid post made on his website Monday, comedian W. Kamau Bell broke some not-so-great news to his fans: He'd canceled a slew of upcoming shows.
But while we're so used to hearing celebs cancel gigs due to "exhaustion" (aka "rehab"), the funnyman had an altogether different (and far more relatable) explanation for backing out: He just had his second kid, and well, he had "no idea how hard this would be."
After a hectic weekend of kids' parties, diaper duty and next to no sleep, Bell shares that he suddenly stopped to realize just how much had changed since having his first child—and just how much his family needs him right now.
"Me and my wife would have roshambo'ed for who went to which party," writes Bell. "Or we would've picked out parties based on the activities at the parties. (My wife would've loved the second one. It was at a gymnastics school.) We didn't split the duties this time because our new daughter is two weeks old and my wife is currently embedded in breastfeeding."
The newbie dad of two goes on to explain that while comedy used to take up nearly every ounce of his life, simply being there for his kids and his wife has come to mean so much more to him.
"I have no idea what I was thinking in booking such an aggressive schedule so soon after the birth of my second child," he goes on. "I guess I thought two kids would only be twice as hard. Two kids isn't 'twice as hard,' anymore than getting hit by a second train right after the first train is 'twice as hard.'" (Truer words were never spoken.)
"So sorry, Kansas City, Des Moines, Omaha, Ferndale, and Cincinnati. ... I f**ked up and I need to scale back some. I still love you. I just love my family more."
Bell's frank post calls to mind some other touching dad posts that have gone viral in the last year, like that of Max Shireson, who stepped down from his CEO job because it was taking him away from his family.
"As a male CEO, I have been asked what kind of car I drive and what type of music I like, but never how I balance the demands of being both a dad and a CEO," Shireson wrote at the time, before announcing that he'd be stepping down from his position.
"I recognize that by writing this I may be disqualifying myself from some future CEO role," he continued. "Will that cost me tens of millions of dollars someday? Maybe. Life is about choices. Right now, I choose to spend more time with my family and am confident that I can continue to have an meaningful and rewarding work life while doing so."
You can read the rest of Bell's post over on his official website.

Another good feature Jawbone Up has is the Idle Alert. Since it's a fitness band, it has to alert us to start moving when we are idling, or not moving.
You can access the Idle Alert page from Jawbone Up App. At Home screen, just swipe left to access to the Right Hand Menu. From there, simply tap Idle Alert to access the settings.
Set Idle Alert
Once you're in the Idle Alert page, you'll be able to enable/disable the alert. You can set when you want your Up Band to vibrate when you are idling, ranging from 15 min to 2 hours.
Next, set your Start and End time. Let's say you are working in an office at work, you can set 8am to 5pm. This Idle Alert will just vibrate during these hours. Once it alerts you, just stand up and do some stretching before going back to work.
It all depend on individual. Just set your idle alert to suit your lifestyle.
So what do you do when your idle alert vibrates? I'll like to know. You can share in the comments below. See you Up!

Oprah Winfrey has reached another milestone! The TV personality turns the big 6-0 today, and to celebrate, she's recalled some of the biggest moments in her life so far in an open, and very heartfelt, letter to those who have stuck by her through the years.
"I'm turning 60. I'm alive. Healthy. Strong," Winfrey wrote in her O, The Oprah magazine (via The Huffington Post.) "I'm turning 60, and — please don't take offense — I no longer have to be concerned about what anyone thinks of me! (You know, the old Am I doing it right? Am I saying it right? Am I being what or who I'm 'supposed' to be?) I'm turning 60, and I've earned the right to be just as I am. I'm more secure in being myself than I've ever been."
For years, Winfrey has opened her doors to audiences, interviewed famous and otherwise unknown people until The Oprah Winfrey Show's end in 2011, and has continued to connect with people through her OWN Network and magazine. But, as it turns out, she doesn't consider any of these (or even giving a car away to each member in her audience!) as her highest achievement. What is? "Never shutting my heart down," she wrote.
"Even in my darkest moments — through sexual abuse, a pregnancy at 14, lies and betrayals — I remained faithful, hopeful, and open to seeing the best in people, regardless of whether they were showing me their worst," the Butler actress wrote. "I stayed open to believing that no matter how hard the climb, there is always a way to let in a sliver of light to illuminate the path forward."
She continued: "I approach this milestone, the landmark of 60, with humility, supreme thanksgiving, and joy. Knowing for sure grace has brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home."

When Cabin Fever Creeps In, How to Not Kill Your Spouse
by Gabriella Stern and Laura Kreutzer
Do's and don'ts of marital harmony in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy (compiled from personal experience):
Do: Expect your spouse to keep you informed of her whereabouts as she endures crushingly complex commutes.
Don't: Repeatedly nag your spouse to be more informative about her whereabouts if she has already sent you numerous text messages and your cell phone is not working because of #Sandy.
Do: Snuggle in bed at night to keep warm during the prolonged power failure.
Don't: Encourage the cats to join in, creating a ménage à quatre.
Do: Spend quality time together in your car in the driveway as you charge up mobile devices.
Don't: Linger so long that you deplete the battery, forcing neighbors to come to the rescue.
Do: Dip into the Halloween candy stash purchased for anticipated deluge of trick-or-treaters that never materialized.

ZEW, UK inflation and European shares up
More positive picture for Europe's economy Tuesday, UK inflation edges above zero for November, German investor morale on the up and European shares recover from previous session's losses. Grace Pascoe reports.
Is four the magic number? Spanish consumer prices fell less than expected for a fourth month straight. Dropping 0.3 percent year on year in November. German investor morale climbed to a four month high - to 16.1 points in December. And UK inflation is back in the positive for the first time in four months for November, up to plus 0.1 percent. But the BoE's deputy governor Minouche Shafik still wants more wage growth before any rate hike. Peter Dixon is from Commerzbank. (SOUNDBITE) (English) COMMERZBANK, GLOBAL FINANCIAL ECONOMIST, PETER DIXON: "Primarily it is this low inflation story, the fact that wages may not pick up, the fact that oil prices have dipped further and increasingly I am of the view that so long as inflation remains below 1 percent the central bank is going to find it difficult to agree to raise interest rates." European shares have rebounded, despite Fed fears and oil spoiling the mood. Better times may be ahead for the euro zone. But for them to come, Jeroen Dijsslembloem says a euro zone insurance for bank deposits is a key priority. The Eurogroup President was speaking at the European parliament. (SOUNDBITE) (English) EUROPEAN UNION, HEAD OF THE EURO ZONE FINANCE MINISTERS, JEROEN DIJSSLEBLOEM, SAYING: "I'm convinced that the banking union, setting it up and finishing it, will for the economic recovery be more important than any other project at the moment. So that's what we should do." Leaders of the 28 EU nations will discuss the proposals later this week. And EU's biggest economy- Germany is expected to oppose the plans fiercely.

Helping vegans in the Sacramento area find restaurants with great menu choices for themselves and their non-vegan friends and family.
Monday, April 4, 2016
The Red Rabbit Kitchen & Bar
Vegan friends of mine have eaten at the Red Rabbit Kitchen & Bar over the past few years, but whenever I checked the menu, I didn't see anything specifically vegan. I prefer not to blog about restaurants that require vegans to make a lot of substitutions or special requests in order to come up with a suitable meal, so I had never visited Red Rabbit. Last week, though, I decided to take a look at their online menu to see if they had added any vegan options, and I was thrilled to see that they're offering a vegan mushroom potato curry on their lunch and dinner menus.
This delicious dish consists of mushrooms, fingerling potatoes, stewed tomatoes, peas, coconut milk, spicy peppers, onions, garlic, ginger, and curry over basmati rice. I loved it, but be forewarned that it was very spicy.
I asked the server if the restaurant would always have a vegan option on the menu. She said they try, but there isn't always going to be something that's specifically vegan. She said they have a few vegans on staff who can help customers figure out how to veganize various menu items. I noticed that a Portobello mushroom can be substituted for the beef patty in the Red Rabbit burger, for example. Also, the online lunch and dinner menus contain the following notice: "Many of our dishes can be prepared vegetarian, with or without tofu." It seems like the Red Rabbit's menu is flexible enough to accommodate vegans.
The Red Rabbit Kitchen & Bar is located at 2718 J Street, and their phone number is 916-706-2275. Their website address is https://theredrabbit.net/, and their Facebook page can be found at https://www.facebook.com/SacRabbit/timeline. The restaurant is open Monday through Wednesday from 11:30 a.m. to midnight, Thursday and Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., Saturday from 5:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m., and Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to midnight.

1. Site Speed
In April of 2010, Google announced that they were including site speed as a new signal in their search ranking algorithms.
Best Practices recommended by Google include:(http://code.google.com/speed/page-speed/docs/rules_intro.html)
- optimizing caching
- minimizing round trip times
- minimizing upload size
- minimize size of responses, downloads, and cached pages
- improve browser's layout of a page
- optimizing for mobile devices
Not sure how to do this? Exclusive Concepts has a solution called Site Optimizer that will do all this work for you.
2. Content Strategy
A thorough assessment of top level page content should be completed, looking for duplicated, stale, shallow, or completely lacking text! The location of this text should also be considered. Your customers and Google are not going to think your words are very important if they are hidden or stuck all the way at the bottom below the footer.
Additionally, think about your product descriptions. Are they taken from the manufacturer? Unique product descriptions are important to stand out from the crowd, but this unique content also increases the overall site quality score and allows the product pages to rank better. Overwhelmed by the magnitude of product descriptions? Start on a smaller scale by prioritizing best selling products or products that you'd like to get in front of more people.
3. Social Media Marketing
Have you created a business profile for at least the big 3? Google+, Twitter and Facebook? Define your goals for this medium, figure out who your influencers may be, come up with a publishing schedule, integrate your promotions with your email campaigns and PPC promotions or maybe offer exclusive deals
and contests through social media. Using these social networks can send positive signals to the search engines about your trust and authority, particularly when people share your important content and you're engaging in the conversation. Posts from these social networks are also appearing in search results more frequently.
4. Conversion Testing
You're probably thinking, "hey, conversion testing has nothing to do with SEO!", but conversion testing is like the cherry on top of your SEO sundae. With the investment you're making in gaining more traffic from organic search, PPC, social media, and brand loyalists, why wouldn't you want to turn more shoppers into buyers? By testing, you'll learn more about your customers, their behavior and what messaging and merchandising resonates best and more importantly, improve your revenue.

Tights: I don't remember

Friends, we are closing in on the end of the 30-for-30 remix! This is outfit #27, and as I write this post, I am wearing the final outfit of the challenge. Tomorrow I can begin to dive back into my regular closet again, and with a whole new season on the horizon, one can imagine that I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. But I'm getting ahead of myself!
When Mandi and I started this challenge, we were still in the depths of summer, as demonstrated by the last time I wore this dress. It is such a summery dress–the material so light, the color so bright–that I wasn't sure I'd be able to transition it very well when cooler temperatures showed up on the weather forecast. But despite its challenges, I like this outfit a lot, and (today's lesson learned:) it shows how easy it can be to fashion a fall outfit out of even the flimsiest summer sundress. Add tights, a cardigan, scarf, and boots, and BADABING. You are ready for September, my friends.
PS – These pictures were taken on the rooftop balcony of moto-i , the first sake brewery outside of Japan. They also have some pretty bangin sushi. So if you're ever in Minneapolis…

Tents and trains behind Lexington Center during Centennial celebration, 1875 "The view is from the top of the railroad station* looking toward Hancock Street. The large house on the hill is the M. H. Merriam homestead now facing Goodwin Road. Ths Hinchey house by the Hancock Street Railroad crossing shows at the left. The various tents were for the accommodation of men and horses. There was but one track as far as Arlington and the trains were long and terribly crowded, not only inside but as many as possible rode on the roofs of the cars. Byron Earle was a brake-man that day and told me the story of the train that ran away. The train got going on the down grade at Munroes and the brakes refused to hold. The train ran wild until it reached Somerville, swaying from side to side striking terror to those jammed inside and clinging to the roofs. The Engineer never got over the trip and his hair turned white in less than one month after the 19th."(* Handwritten note by EBW, Jr.: "I don't agree. Probably from the Norris Block.")

ObamaCare's architects reap windfall as Washington lobbyists
By Megan R. Wilson
ObamaCare has become big business for an elite network of Washington lobbyists and consultants who helped shape the law from the inside.
More than 30 former administration officials, lawmakers and congressional staffers who worked on the healthcare law have set up shop on K Street since 2010.
Veterans of the healthcare push are now lobbying for corporate giants such as Delta Air Lines, UPS, BP America and Coca-Cola, and for healthcare companies including GlaxoSmithKline, UnitedHealth Group and the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association.
Ultimately, the clients are after one thing: expert help in dealing with the most sweeping overhaul of the country's healthcare system in decades.
Experts say that those able to fetch the highest salaries have come from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) or committees with oversight power over healthcare.
"After passage of major legislation, those who have networks on Capitol Hill take exceedingly lucrative jobs with the same industries subject to the legislation," said Craig Holman, a lobbyist for Public Citizen. "It raises questions about the [bill's] integrity."

Comment: We need lobbyists, that is lobbyists such as Craig Holman of Public Citizen. But what about administration officials, lawmakers and congressional staffers who helped to create a profoundly wasteful health care financing system that falls tragically short of reform goals, and then left government employment to accept windfalls as private lobbyists representing clients who must deal with Obamacare? As Holman says, it raises questions about the bill's integrity.
Lobbying integrity that makes the difference? "Public Citizen serves as the people's voice in the nation's capital." Public Citizen is already on record as supporting a single payer system:
