WATCH: Alexia Echevarria Shows Off Palatial Home
The RHOM star offers a video tour of her pad.
On Monday's Real Housewives of Miami, Alexia Echevarria gave us a taste of her home's extravagance when she decided to reorganize her massive office. (It doubles as her shoe closet!) Now we've got the full tour.
In this exclusive Bravotv.com video, Alexia shows off some of her Miami mansion's favorite features: a recording studio (for her sons Peter and Frankie), her outdoor patio (perfect for zoning out) and, of course, her bedroom, which houses her shoe collection.
"I love this area," she says. "I can see all my shoes, I can just sit here, touch them, feel them, even smell them. Just kidding!"
What do you think of Alexia's home? Do you have a favorite feature? Tell us in the comments.

Asia has seen a flurry of activity lately, with airlines acquiring widebodies for new services touted as "long-haul low-cost," but the term is misleading because the flights being proposed are really medium-range.
A question mark hangs over whether the low-cost carrier (LCC) model can be successfully applied to long-range flights. AirAsia X tried it and failed. The Malaysia-based airline has been serving London Gatwick and Paris Orly airports, but will suspend these services at the end of March.
CEO Azran Osman-Rani tells Aviation Week that the decision to withdraw from long-haul "is something that had been brewing since 2010.
"The continued high jet fuel prices and the weakening demand for air travel from Europe—brought about by the current economic situation together with exorbitant government taxes—have placed cost pressures on operating long-haul low-cost flights between Asia and Europe, compromising our ability to offer the low fares for which AirAsia X is known."
Azran says his airline plans to shift capacity to medium-haul routes within the Asia-Pacific region. Soon after it announced its withdrawal from Europe, AirAsia X disclosed it will launch flights to Sydney in April.
Australia also is a key market for Singapore Airlines' (SIA) new low-cost widebody operator Scoot, which plans to begin services in the middle of this year, with flights from Singapore to Sydney and the Australian Gold Coast near Brisbane. The next country to be targeted is China.
Scoot CEO Campbell Wilson says it is "no coincidence that our initial network doesn't include flights beyond eight hours. The profitability of longer distances is constrained by fuel. There's the economics of carrying fuel, the cost of fuel itself and then the ability to charge passengers enough to cover those costs. For [LCCs] the yield is lower because you don't have the premium cabins."
But he qualifies his assertions by adding, "That doesn't lead to the conclusion that long-haul low-cost is unviable. Scoot [in the] long term has ambitions to fly to Europe. But long-haul does consume a lot of resources. It's also hard to fly [these routes] when fuel prices are high. For us, it is better to first build our network" in the Asia-Pacific region. Scoot will be launching its Australian services using ex-SIA Boeing 777-200s with derated engines, which means the aircraft lack the range to fly longer routes.
Philippine carrier Cebu Pacific, meanwhile, has opted for leased Airbus A330-300s, the same type that AirAsia X operates on medium-range routes. Cebu CEO Lance Gokongwei says his carrier hopes to start flying A330s in the third quarter of 2013 and have four in service within the first year. The aim is to have eight by 2016, he says. All will be new aircraft on operating leases.
As for the medium-haul routes that Cebu Pacific will serve, Gokongwei says they are still subject to approval but are likely to be flights from Manila to the Middle East. He notes that no Philippine-designated carrier is currently serving eight of the top 10 international routes popular with Filipinos. Data show that the eight include Dubai and Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates; Doha, Qatar; and points in Saudi Arabia.
There are a lot of Filipino migrant workers living in the Middle East, and Cebu Pacific's widebody operation is pitched at them. Alex Reyes, VP-commercial planning, says the A330s will all be in a single-class configuration. This is significant because every other Asia-Pacific medium-haul low-cost carrier has a two-class cabin in order to tap higher-yield traffic. Reyes also says the A330s will accommodate roughly 400 passengers with nine-abreast seating. "Airlines like XL Airways in Europe and AirAsia X have nine-abreast," he notes.
Regarding the profitability of medium- versus long-haul routes, Gokongwei says, "Certainly, the advantage of LCCs is magnified on the shorter routes. In selecting our routes, we have a preference for medium compared to long-haul."
But he also notes that Cebu Pacific eventually wants to launch long-haul flights from the Philippines to North America when it acquires longer-range aircraft in 2020 or 2021. The carrier will choose between the Airbus A350 and Boeing 787, he says.

Surviving Beatle Ringo Starr believes the band would have reunited if all four members were still alive (WENN)
"I'd like to think, yes, we would," Starr told The Mirror. "Paul still goes out with his band, I go out with mine and John would have probably been going out with his."
He added that George was never big on touring so wasn't sure if he would have been up for it, but said: "But who knows... it could have come together."
John Lennon was 40 years old when he was shot dead by Mark David Chapman outside his apartment building in New York on December 8 1980. George Harrison died from cancer in November 2001 aged 58.
Ringo, 72, and Sir Paul McCartney, 70, are the only surviving members of the band, and actually did reunite with Harrison after Lennon died to add some of the late singer's vocals to the songs Free as a Bird for 1995's Anthology 1 and Real Love for 1996's Anthology 2.
Ringo, real name Richard Starkey, is currently promoting his new e-book Photograph, which is released this week and features rare photos - many published for the first time - of a behind-the-scenes glimpse of life as a Beatle.
Many of the snaps were taken from cars or in hotel rooms and speaking to Today, he said: "We lived from gig to car to hotel room.
"When we got to New York - when we got to America - it was, like, too big, because all the music we loved came from America. It was like a dream come true."
The Beatles formed in Liverpool in 1960 and worked and played hard to achieve their global status. Something which Ringo believes cannot be achieved by reality TV shows.
He said: "I may sound like an old fart, but you win a TV show, but you haven't put in your time."

The real story, not the cliche
You hear a lot of cliches at this time of year -- appropriate, OK, but they're cliches. Great students, great leaders, achievements of the year, and so on.
I was especially impressed at yesterday's Student Affairs Leadership Reception that the Black Male Collegiate Society and the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, whose memberships overlap considerably, filled their nets with well-deserved awards. But the awards are not as important as the story behind them.
A few years ago, a few polite African American freshmen, under the direction of Dr. Clarice Ford, talked to a few administrators about what black fraternities and sororities could do for them on campus. I learned then how much support they would receive from their Greek brothers and sisters in the community. They were persistent but not successful in bringing Greek life to campus. It took later classes and more leadership and some strategic persuasion to make it happen, and it finally did.
Now UIS and these Greek leaders and the Springfield area are much better off because of the work of these student leaders and their mentors. The really good news is that this is just the beginning and I predict that it will be a part of the transformation of Springfield in the 21st century.

Sesame Street is to be made into a film by 20th Century Fox.
The studio has picked up the movie rights to the long-running children's show featuring Jim Henson's puppet creations, which airs mostly on PBS stations in the US.
Real Steel director Shawn Levy and his 21 Laps banner will produce the picture, according to The Hollywood Reporter, although Fox did not comment on the news.
Sesame Street has been developed for the big screen twice before, with 1985's Follow That Bird and 1999's The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland.
The programme was forced to issue a statement last summer denying that popular characters Bert and Ernie are gay, following an online campaign to get the friends to tie the knot.
Sesame Workshop - the non-profit organisation behind Sesame Street - insisted: "Even though they are identified as male characters and possess many human traits and characteristics (as most Sesame Street Muppets do), they remain puppets, and do not have a sexual orientation."

AMITEX Rondo 1 casing is supplied in several specialized types differing in the appearance, and designed for production of various types of sausages.
These casings differ, above all, in their surface structure. The decorative effect is achieved not through printing, but by modifying the texture of one of the casing layers. Despite the functional similarity, the different types of the AMITEX Rondo 1 casing are designed for various types of sausage products.
Advantages of the AMITEX Rondo 1:
AMITEX Rondo 1 casing is developed for production of traditional boiled sausages – mortadelas.
AMITEX Rondo 1 is a casing with a noble opaque roughish surface. Its quietly natural look is ideal for the traditional boiled sausage products made to GOST. A classical sausage should have a classical casing.

Teaming up with brummymummyof2 for my first ever Wicked Wednesday
Not the best image but one of the funniest in a while of J…we were at a standstill for quite some time waiting to leave a shopping centre car park and decided to capture a family selfie, except J had an issue with this being done!
She is normally so good when we are in the car but for some reason just wouldn't tolerate shopping or the joys of sitting in a car in a city full of traffic lights. I've pretty much convinced myself that shopping is much better on your own without hubster or toddler in tow
What a cheerful little soul I have, here's to the next one!

The Very Best Jewish Movies
List Rules Movies must have a primary focus on practicing Judaism—not just on Jewish characters. Includes documentaries.
When it comes to movies created by Jewish people, some of the greatest films ever made find their way onto the list. Hollywood has long been full of creative people from all nationalities, religious backgrounds, races, sexual preference, and anything else you can think of, but some of the most influential and creative people working behind the scenes have been Jewish. Determining what makes a movie "Jewish" requires looking into the people who worked on the film, but also the content.
You won't find every movie made by Mel Brooks or Woody Allen on this list seeing as Spaceballs and Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* But Were Afraid to Ask were made by Jewish people, but practicing Judaism or being Jewish was hardly the central theme of the film. Similarly, people like Steven Spielberg have a huge body of work, but only one of his films made the cut for this list and you can probably guess which one. Jewish films that make the cut for this list involve Jewish creators, but also content about Jewish people. Neil Simon's amazing body of work often involves his own life story, which is why movies like Biloxi Blues and Brighton Beach Memoirs can be found here.
This list has everything from old Jewish movies like the 1947 Body and Soul to new films like 2017's Disobedience. Did your favorite Jewish film make the list? Add the best Jewish movies you think should have been included and rate your favorite to the top!

Autumnal Photo Diary
Around Brooklyn a few weeks ago, I was shooting and spotted this really cool tan and brown van. On my walk, I started seeing similar tones everywhere so I photographed them all for a little Fall story. It feels like it has been FOREVER since I've just picked up a camera and wandered around. I realized I missed it! The iPhone can make me lazy sometimes, I guess, though I do appreciate the ease of mobile photography. Inspiration can strike at any time. You have to be receptive.
My gold Timex "Fairfield" watch complimented my surroundings so well I featured it in my photos. The watch face is so simple and elegant - the design opts for notches instead of numerical symbols. The band is textured and I've been wearing this watch around all season. It's so pretty and affordable, I'm thinking it would make a great gift for watch and jewelry lovers alike. Shop it here.

Everyone gets overwhelmed with the work of the home. Discouragement sets in and it makes makes matters even worse. Tiredness, illness, busy-ness, and unexpected interference, can cause us to get behind in things, until the only thing we want to do is run away. I've noticed that the women who love their homes and want to stay in them, are women who are clean and organized.
I recently visited the home of a young woman, and I was very impressed with her care of the house. She greeted us as though she were expecting important dignitaries, in her long skirt and lovely blouse, upswept hair, and healthy looking face. As she showed us around her house, I noticed that everything had a purpose for being there. Her papers were hidden inside a roll top desk near her phone. Her kitchen was immaculate, even though I could smell the savory scent of dinner in the oven. She was genuinely happy in her home., but I knew her before she had this home, and lived only in a small, run-down trailer. Inside, her home then had exactly the same atmosphere: neatness, order, and cleanliness reigned.
The Bible says, "He who is faithful in little, will be faithful in much." (Luke 16:10) The habits she had formed of making this tiny, poor place neat and clean, helped her take care of the bigger home which she was to live in years later.
Many women are using the inconveniences they face (no dishwasher, no convenient laundry room, no modern appliances, chipped kitchen cabinets and old carpets) as excuses to create discouragement and neglect. This woman was a conscientious and diligent housekeeper long before she moved into the fine house. In the older home, she managed to incorporate the poor workmanship of floors and cabinets, into her homemaking, and do it beautifully.
I once visited a young woman in Washington state, who lived in a house that was lent her by her grandmother. It was old and worn, and there was no plush carpet on the floor. She had no dishwasher and no dryer. She had only enough income for the bare essentials, yet inside, I noticed the threadbare towels neatly folded in one direction and stacked on a shelf. She had not let her lack of "things" and conveniences discourage her. Folding those mismatched, worn out towels, gave her a sense of order and dignity, and brought order to her life. Although she had children, the house was not strewn with toys and clothes. I wish I could show you a picture of this dismal looking house that she had made orderly and clean.
In the early days of homesteading in Alaska, many families lived in tents until their houses could be built. Building a house took a lot longer, because the parents had to go into the nearby forests of their property and cut trees to make logs. Inside the tents, we had to be neat and orderly. Beds were rolled up in the day time in order to use them as seats. Our mothers even swept the canvas that served as floors. There were only a few dishes, and so the idea of them "stacking up to the ceiling" would have been ludicrous, for there was only one cup and one plate for each person. If mother got a bit behind on this, she would turn the plate upside down and serve dinner on the other side. After that, she simply had to wash them, but she often recruited one of her children to do it, while she did other tasks.
If we neglect the basic elements of homemaking (dishes, laundry, clutter, cleanliness and order) , we end up in a vicious cycle, where piled up dishes and laundry make us feel discouraged, and discouragement makes us neglect the tasks at hand that make a house beautiful. When my children were growing up, they learned an important phrase, "Perspiration adds to appreciation." In other words, if they had to clean up something, they would be more protective of that particular area or thing, and not want it easily messed up. They were more likely to guard the home, if they had to clean it up. We are the same. If we have to keep up with the dishes, we will be more careful not to use them and leave them laying about in the kitchen. We'll be more particular about using a clean glass everytime someone gets a drink. (A Dixie cup dispenser is the best thing for that). If a child makes a mess and has to clean it up, he won't be so careless about making the same mess again. (That is, if the mother consistently makes him pick it up each time).
I knew a woman with four daughters. Every month the housework was divided between the girls. One would take the living room, one the bathroom, and so forth. During that time, the girls owned the room they looked after. You can believe they took very good care of the room they owned, as they cleaned and decorated and arranged it all themselves. They were a lot more careful about how that room was treated. Homemaking is a lot like playing house. It has to be done cheerfully and creatively.
We can understand how to learn new habits when it comes to something like piano playing or crochet classes, but somehow, we cannot translate that to home life. Learn, practice, learn some more, and practice, and soon, you are doing a job that at first was insurmountable.
Everyone gets behind sometimes because of a rushed life. If this is happening to you, one suggestion I have is to clear your calendar of appointments and obligations for a week. Send someone else to the store for groceries, and decline to get in the car at all. Spend the week getting your house back into shape. If you have gotten way beyond this, you can hire someone to come in and give you a jumpstart by catching you up on everything. After they leave, do not let one single thing sit where it doesn't belong, for more than a few minutes. Walk around the house occasionally and scout for things that do not belong. Make children take all their belongings to their own rooms. Pick up your own things and put them where they belong. Clear the tables after you've had homeschooling or crafts, and neatly deposit everything in their assigned places.
The only way a person who has had a problem with housekeeping can recover, is to become a fanatic for while, until better habits are formed. Keep the laundry caught up and put away, by doing a load a day. Keep the dishes done up after every meal and inbetween. Learn to cook with fewer pots and pans, and to mix things using fewer utinsels. For example, you can measure your dry ingredients in a large measuring pitcher, first, and use the same container for the wet ingredients next. Instead of reaching for a new bowl to mix something in, look in the dishpan and wash the one that has been used.
One extremely helpful course I took was called "Sidetracked Home Executives." The authors, who called themselves "slob sisters" had taught themselves new habits by making rules for themselves and sticking by them. Some of these rules were:
Don't start the day without getting dressed.
Pick it up, don't pass it up.
Put things away as you go, rather than waiting for a cleaning day.
Don't leave the house until it is cleaned up.
I understand that there are some places on the web that send you emails daily to help you get started pulling yourself out of the accuulated mess, who have adopted the S.H.E. principles. Like the slob sisters, many women have had good mothers who were organized and clean and ran the home with great efficiency. However, many of that next generation spent most of their waking hours in schools and other institutions, rather than watching the habits of their mothers at home.
Although their mothers were proficient homemakers, they were not able to pass on the habits to their daughters. My own mother had a wonderful garden, but I was so busy with homework and school, that I arrived home way past the time that I would have been with her out in the garden watching what she did. I consequently was not automatically a good gardner.
The same applies to working inside the home to make it beautiful and orderly, and a place where you delight in staying. You've got to stay in it and work at it. Put on some nice music, spray a fresh scent into the air, and go to it. After all the hard labor, get a bath, dress up, and present your family with an orderly meal.
You'll find the fussing and aggravation levels of your children go way down, once neatness and cleanliness are emphasised in the home.
We can change our ways. We can be determined, we can learn new things, and we can submit ourselves to the tasks before us.
I'll leave one small hint that helps me a lot. When I open a cabinet or drawer, or even the fridge, to get something or put something away, I look it over and if anything is out of place, I quickly straighten it. I never just get a glass and close the door. I always get a glass and then adjust something in the cabinet. Or, I use a spice and put it back, while re-grouping the spice area, and maybe wiping the inside where some things have been spilled.
I launder my dishtowels and kitchen things by themselves in a load of wash, so that if I do not have time, I can simply take the entire load from the dryer and put it in a drawer. If I get around to folding them, I feel good, but at least they are in the drawer and pre-sorted by this method.
When I am sewing, I will take breaks and clean up the area I'm in, folding patterns and putting them away, clearing the sewing area, and making a place for me to work.
You may not need any of these hints, but they may give you an idea of things you can do to make living at home desireable rather than miserable.

Dont Fret:
Signs Of The Times
Johalla Projects is very excited to present Signs of the Times, a new exhibition of original works by artist Dont Fret. This presentation is the second show of his work in the gallery and marks his first major project with Johalla Projects since the successful, sprawling installation in the former Chicago Wholesale Hardware Store in August 2014. The exhibition will run from June 26 through July 31, 2015. An opening reception will be held on Friday, June 26 from 7-10pm.
The consummate wise guy, Dont Fret is best known for his wheat paste characters and musings that he places on streets in cities around the world. Stylized and distinct, these figures are simultaneously witty, sardonic, and oddly charming. They generally "belong" with the street or neighborhood where they reside and unapologetically point to larger themes of the locale or culture. The humor and bluntness of the characters' thoughts or the artist's standalone texts reconsider the obvious and invite the viewer to laugh, feel uncomfortable, or think twice. In this same sense, Signs of the Times tackles the tropes of living in 2015. The exhibition will feature works on paper and panel and includes a new selection of the artist's own observations, truisms, and prescriptions that consider today's own societal and social ails.
Dont Fret is an artist born, raised, and currently working in Chicago. In addition to his wheat pasting, his practice includes drawing, painting, sculpture, performance and installation-based work both on the street and in the gallery space. He has produced large-scale public murals in a number of American cities including New York, Miami, Grand Rapids, and Denver as well as internationally in cities like São Paulo and Berlin. His work has been in a number of gallery exhibitions nationally and internationally, with shows in Chicago, New York, London, and Oakland. In 2014, he was included Paint Paste Sticker — the large Chicago street art survey at the Chicago Cultural Center. Dont Fret was voted "Best Visual Artist" in the 2013 iteration of Chicago Reader's "Best of Chicago" list and was also a featured artist at the SCOPE Art Show Miami Beach.

Essentially what Step 15 does is create a permanent gusset in the bottom of the bag by sewing from the inside of the bag through the bottom layers along the seam line. The Stowe was designed to "stow away" when not in use, which is why we didn't clip the corners during the pattern process to form a permanent gusset like many other square bottom bags. I personally prefer the bag without this last optional step, but we wanted to include the option. Hopefully this video clears up some of the confusion!

Mourinho set to take over at Inter Milan
Jose Mourinho looks set to end months of speculation about his future by taking over from Roberto Mancini at Inter Milan. Despite winning three league titles in a row it was confirmed that Mancini would leave the current Italian champions following a meeting with Inter president Massimo Moratti yesterday.
According to the Italian press Mourinho has been learning Italian for the last five months in order to be ready for the job. It is also widely reported that the Special One will try to convince Didier Drogba, Ricardo Carvalho and Frank Lampard to swap London for Milan as he looks to put his stamp on an already successful team.
The Portuguese will be competing for honours against another former Chelsea manager Claudio Ranieri who is in charge at Serie A side Juventus. Also it doesn't look as if Mancini will be spending too much time down the job centre with BBC claiming that the Italian is favourite for the vacancy at Chelsea.

Every consumer focused business needs to be compliant with the FTC's National Do-Not-Call Registry. We have the most affordable U.S DNC Scrubbing rates! Let us scrub your consumer phone list, starting at just $295 per scrub
compliance & the FTC's National DNC registry
The U.S National Do Not Call List now has over 212 Million phone numbers. The U.S. Government has issued DNC federal fines of up to $40,000 (beginning 08/01/16) and state fines of up to $25,000 per violation. Fines can occur if you call someone who is on their www.DoNotCall.Gov list, in an effort to cut down on the number of telemarketer calls.
The Lead Boutique Communications Corp's Do Not Call List Scrubbing solutions is a batch-based list scrubbing service that gives telemarketers and users of telemarketing services the ability to "clean" or "scrub" their call lists against the available Federal, State and DMA Do-Not-Call Registry files.
Do Not Call List Scrubbing can be used as a stand-alone service or in combination with any of The Lead Boutique's other consumer phone list services.
Like all other DNC scrubbing systems, each entity who is making a call is required to acquire a SAN, or subscriber account number, from the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) which is, effectively, a license to access their database of telephone numbers which have been placed on the do not call list.
Data Safety: Let our DNC Scrub services keep you safe from hefty fines, and legal fees. Your consumer phone data should be scrubbed once a month to ensure compliance.
Where do I go to register? You can register with the FTC's National Do Not Call Registry, here:
In order for The Lead Boutique Communications Corp. to flag your records with those registered on the National DNCL, your organization is required by the FTC to be both registered and subscribed to the FTC's National DNC Registry. Once you're registered and have purchased a subscription, we will require your Subscription Access Number in order to process your file.
*The FTC does not allow The Lead Boutique to provide DNC scrubbing without our clients being registered with the Federal Trade Commission's National Do Not Call Registry and having an active DNCL subscription.
what's needed to proceed with a U.S DNC phone database scrub?
- Register with and comply with the Federal Trade Commission's: NATIONAL DO NOT CALL REGISTRY

WENATCHEE – A tough weekend for the Wenatchee AppleSox (0-3), ended in a disappointing 11-0 loss to the Yakima Valley Pippins (3-0), Sunday night at Paul Thomas Sr. Stadium.
The Pippins looked like they were going to get to AppleSox starter Grady Miller in the first inning, after two leadoff singles and a double steal put runners at second and third with one out. Miller followed up with a strikeout and a flyout to end the inning, unscathed.
After retiring the Pippins in order in the second inning, Miller ran into some trouble in the third inning. Three runs came to score on five-consecutive Pippin hits and a sacrifice fly.
Miller retired the side in each of the fourth and fifth innings, before once again falling in hot water in the sixth against the Pippins. Six straight hits in the sixth, after the leadoff runner was picked off, led to four more runs scoring and Yakima Valley led 7-0.
Miceal Taylor pitched in relief of Miller and got the final two outs in the inning. He later allowed a run in the seventh on Chris Ceballos' third double of the game. Ceballos finished with 3 RBI.
In the eighth, Taylor retired the Pippins in order.
The ninth inning led to three more runs scoring for the Pippins. Four-consecutive hits sparked the run scoring in the inning. Zac Bonneau hammered home the final hit of Yakima Valley's 18, Sunday.
Wenatchee struggled offensively, only tallying four hits. Parker Price did reach base via a hit for a third-straight night, but Ryan Garcia controlled the Sox for six innings, only allowing three hits.
Connor Lau and Derek Atlee were the Pippin relievers, and they shut Wenatchee down, only allowing one hit the rest of the way.
The sweep marked the first time the AppleSox have been swept to open a franchise season. Wenatchee looks to rebound Tuesday night at Victoria. The HarbourCats were also swept over the weekend. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 at Royal Athletic Park.

Janice Jimmie, assistant to Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians Chairwoman Phyliss Anderson, wants to help her tribe. Her people enjoy a fairly strong economy, but it needs a shot in the arm.
"We have focused so much on casinos that we want to diversify," she said, adding that's the main reason why she traveled to the 27th annual National Reservation Economic Summit – her first.
As such, Jimmie is in the same boat with many other attendees at the Summit whose tribes rely heavily on casino revenue. And for that segment of the Native population, along with other tribal nations that are perhaps barely breaking into industry, the NCAIED offered the Tribal Business Leaders' Forum, a new opportunity that made its debut today at RES 2013.
During the three-hour panel discussion, representatives from highly successful Native businesses joined high-ranking officials from Washington to reveal key paths available to tribes seeking economic development and economic diversity.
Annette Hamilton, for example, is Vice President and COO of Ho-Chunk Inc., the economic development corporation for the rural Winnebago Tribe in Nebraska. She said her organization found a way to resolve a dire problem – a 65 percent unemployment rate in 1993, before Ho-Chunk started.
"Today if you're unemployed on the Nation, you're part of an unemployable sector," she said. A signature success of her corporation is the Ho-Chunk Village in Winnebago, which boasts livable residential infrastructure and retail space.

The NHS has reported a net surplus of £515 million in 2006/07, vastly improving on its net deficit of £547 million in the previous year.
A total of 287 NHS organisations reported a gross surplus of £1,431 million while 82 reported a gross deficit of £917 million.
Sir John Bourn, head of the National Audit Office (NAO), said that a number of challenges remain for both the Department of Health and the NHS.
'The national picture is one of financial balance, but there remains a relatively small core of NHS organisations that continue to report significant deficits,' he commented.
Sir John warned that failure to keep a tight grip on financial performance would undermine service quality.
However, the surplus 'does not give the full picture', according to Liberal Democrat health spokesman Norman Lamb.
'This hardcore of trusts are still deep in debt, cutting services and jobs in order to get back into the black. As always, it is patients who will ultimately suffer,' he claimed.

if i thought my mind was a swirly mess before, well...now it's a really crazy, swirly, mess. but it's a different kind of mess. a grateful one--trying hard to focus on getting organized and getting something accomplished. i can barely figure out where to start? actually, i think everything on the to-do list has been started and nothing on the to-do list has been checked off. i pretty much just keep bouncing around, from task to task...here, there and everywhere. even sitting here at my keyboard, thinking i finally might have a blog post figured out, i struggle. too many thoughts in my head. too much i want to share.
hmmmm... i guess i'll start with the fact that the wallflower friends retreat was absolutely amazing. seriously. absolutely. amazing!! leah and i feel so very blessed... and thankful!
meet the spring wallflower friends.
hopefully in the next few days, we'll be launching the wallflower friends blog, where we'll share much more about the retreat.
for the moment, let me say that the experience touched my soul and without a doubt, has impacted me for a lifetime.
after the retreat in twentynine palms, i drove to san diego, to shoot 10 client sessions. it's hard for me to explain my feelings through it all. it was definitely more emotional than usual.
having not shot much in kansas city, i had almost forgotten how much shooting means to me; how much photography is a part of my soul. there was actually a time this winter, where i felt that i was losing myself--a misunderstanding of sorts.
and then the shooting in san diego began, and i couldn't have been happier. it was as if a part of me was alive again. i felt like i could have shot 30 more sessions--right then and there. my heart was happy and session by session, my heart was becoming more and more full. and i was becoming more and more alive again.
i had missed shooting even more than i had realized.
in closing, i share a few wallflower friends and san diego images (details coming soon, in future posts :-) ).
p.s. thank you for being patient with my lack of blogging. i'll simply blame it on stress.

Opportunity International Australia
Opportunity International Australia began over 40 years ago when Australian entrepreneur David Bussau recognised that one of the main causes of poverty in Indonesia was lack of access to credit.
The farmers would borrow money from loan sharks or land owners with no hope of paying it back, getting into a spiral of debt not only for themselves but their whole family. In many cases their children would need to work to support the loan, forcing them to leave school at 10 or 12 and not complete their education.
David loaned $50 to a poor farmer named Ketut in Indonesia who used this to buy a sewing machine and start a tailoring business, earning a regular income and helping his family leave poverty behind. Ketut paid the loan back within 6 months and took another loan to expand and put on his first employee. He went on to run an import/export business and own a fleet of taxis, providing employment for other people in his community, too. Now part of a global network, Opportunity is today a leading provider and pioneer of socially-focused microfinance, helping to provide a hand up to millions of people around the world.
Opportunity International Australia gives families living in poverty the tools they need to transform their lives, their children's futures and their communities. Together with TechnologyOne Foundation, microfinance has a much bigger impact than just on a family – the ripple effect of a loan can help transform whole communities.
What is microfinance?
Microfinance is all about providing people living in poverty with a hand up. It is a sustainable solution to the problem of poverty. The funds received by Opportunity are leveraged by their microfinance partners, by providing them with an indication of financial strength and security, and enabling them to borrow more money from commercial providers.
With a small loan to start their own business, families can begin to leave poverty behind. The loans are then recycled as they are repaid, ensuring the investment is continually at work. Businesses may take more loans to grow until they become self-sustaining, creating even more benefits to the community.
How it works
TechnologyOne can break the poverty cycle for generations by providing a hand up to families living in poverty in India. Small loans empower mothers to build successful small businesses, helping families earn regular incomes to give their children a brighter future. With the earnings from their small business, parents invest in nutritious food, proper shelter, medicine and an education for their children.
With a small loan to start a small shop or purchase seeds to plant a vegetable farm, families are able to transform their lives and their children's futures. Since 98% of small loans are recycled, the impact creates a ripple effect within their family and community.
How we'll make a difference
The TechnologyOne Foundation is looking to break the cycle of poverty for generations by supporting an innovative micro-financing approach to charitable giving. The TechnologyOne partnership with Opportunity will provide small loans to enable families in India to grow businesses, earn regular incomes and create safety nets for the future. Since 98% of these small loans are repaid and then re-lent to other families, the impact creates a ripple effect within communities.
Shyam used a small loan to start a tailoring shop in India
"I used a loan to buy a sewing machine and now with my income my children can continue their studies. I can give them clothes and food which I couldn't before. I am also training 10 other women in sewing so they can earn an income, too."
Employing Others
As small businesses grow, some go on to employ others in order to keep up with demand. As these jobs are created, other local families are given an opportunity to leave poverty behind too – delivering goods door-to-door or helping with sewing or weaving orders.
Boosting local economies
With an increased income and therefore more money to spend on items such as food and transport, families who used to live in poverty become active participants in their local economies, benefiting the providers of those products and services, who, positively, are often microentrepreneurs themselves. By boosting local economies, microfinance benefits developing communities beyond the aid of a one-time hand-out.
Creating change
With the new sense of dignity and respect that comes from having their own business, microentrepreneurs are also able to use their influence to bring about positive changes in their communities – rallying local government for improvements to infrastructure or education and bringing local families together to take on community projects.

We present the first results of a pilot study aimed at understanding the influence of bars on the evolution of galaxy discs through the study of their stellar content. We examine here the kinematics, star formation history, mass-weighted, luminosity-weighted, and single stellar population (SSP) equivalent ages and metallicities for four galaxies ranging from lenticulars to late-type spirals. The data employed extends to 2-3 disc scalelengths, with S/N(A)>50. Several techniques are explored to derive star formation histories and SSP-equivalent parameters, each of which are shown to be compatible. We demostrate that the age-metallicity degeneracy is highly reduced by using spectral fitting techniques --instead of indices-- to derive these parameters. We found that the majority of the stellar mass in our sample is composed of old (~10 Gyr) stars. This is true in the bulge and the disc region, even beyond two disc scalelengths. In the bulge region, we find that the young, dynamically cold, structures produced by the presence of the bar (e.g., nuclear discs or rings) are responsible for shaping the bulges' age and metallicity gradients. In the disc region, a larger fraction of young stars is present in the external parts of the disc compared with the inner disc. The disc growth is, therefore, compatible with a moderate inside-out formation scenario, where the luminosity weighted age changes from ~10 Gyrs in the centre, to ~4 Gyrs at two disc scalelengths, depending upon the galaxy. For two galaxies, we compare the metallicity and age gradients of the disc major axis with that of the bar, finding very important differences. In particular, the stellar population of the bar is more similar to the bulge than to the disc, indicating that, at least in those two galaxies, bars formed long ago and have survived to the present day.

King measuring up as Army middle linebacker
Former high school running back switched positions with physical and mental growth
Photo: Andrew King dives through the line for a tackle against Navy.
You can tell Army recruited Andrew King as something other than a bruising middle linebacker by his jersey number. He still wears No. 11 as a 6-foot, 235-pounder.
That's for quarterbacks or quick little running backs.
King was never a "little" running back, but his growth explains as much about his evolution from high school running back to college middle linebacker as any coaching wisdom in his one season at the USMA Prep School and two at West Point.
"A lot of it was just natural growth," King said. "I was eating three meals a day, weight training and growing. I've just tried to do the best I can wherever they put me. I played defense in a high school all-star game, so I thought I might end up on defense in college."
Army head coach Jeff Monken, who is running the Black Knights through spring drills in preparation for his second season in 2015, is the beneficiary of King's physical maturity and position change. The spring game is April 18.
The Black Knights first pursued King under former coach Rich Ellerson as a 6-0, 200-pound running back from Queens out of Flushing High in New York. By the time he arrived at the Prep School in the fall of 2012, he was switched to defensive back. He weighed 205 then.
As a West Point freshman in 2013, Ellerson's final season, King was up to 220 pounds. He played in only three games in a backup linebacker role while learning a new position; he finished with three tackles.
Everything changed in 2014, though, with another 15 pounds and a new coaching defensive formation. Some running backs are reluctant to give up the position and it affects their performance, but King has thrived in his new role.
"I like being able to control the defense," he said. "I like being the quarterback of the defense. We (middle linebackers) play both aspects of the game. We have pass coverage responsibilities and we have to be physical in run defense."
Army has been thin on defensive experience in recent seasons, but the Black Knights return four of their leading tacklers in 2015. King was third at 63 and weakside linebacker Jeremy Timpf, who also was a breakout sophomore starter last year, led the team with 117. Two cornerbacks return with Josh Jenkins as a junior and Chris Carnegie as a senior. Jenkins was second in tackles with 64 and Carnegie fourth with 54.
With King and Timpf returning, the Black Knights have two starters familiar with each other. Now they need to identify a third starter at strongside linebacker to replace graduated Steve Riccardi.
"Jeremy did a great for us," King said. "I can't wait to see what he has in store for us this year. We're going to continue to get better. We should get better as we build on the bond we have and are more coordinated as a unit."
King says his own game can improve all the way around now that he's in his third year drilling as a linebacker and has starting experience.
"I felt confident physically last year," King said. "But I feel more confident this year knowing the plays and my assignments. I know the depth to play on my assignments. I enjoy the opportunity to compete every day. I want to be a leader on this team. If I continue working as I have been, I can be a better player next year."
Up until now, his rise at Army has been about physical growth. Now he's adding the mental progression.
Army enters the 2015 season trying to end a four-year drought without a bowl game and a 13-year losing streak to Navy. It is the longest streak on either side in the 115 years of the rivalry and is now on its sixth Army coach trying to break the skid: Todd Berry, 2002; John Mumford, 2003; Bobby Ross, 2004-06; Stan Brock, 2007-08; Ellerson, 2009-13 and now Monken.
But instead of highlighting the negatives and anguish of breaking such an embarrassing streak, King keeps it matter-of-fact.
"We're optimistic about next year," he said. "We have 12 guaranteed games. If we play well enough, we'll have a 13th game."
--- Tom Shanahan has featured Army, Navy and Air Force athletes for nearly 30 years in the San Diego Union-Tribune, Rivals.com and the Raleigh News and Observer. He attended his first Army-Navy Game after John Feinstein wrote in his book on the rivalry, "A Civil War," everyone should attend the Army-Navy Game at least once.

One FM presenter Neomi Nganga has decided to reveal her new year's resolution as she called it a quit at the Loita Street based radio station. Neomi Nganga took to social media to share the news with her fans that she has decided to venture into her own path and do what she has always wanted to do.
Here is what she posted on social media
The greatest gift that anyone can get is the support from those who believe in you and support what you do. The 'we love you', 'you did great', 'can't wait for the next show', 'you rock Neomi', 'keep it up'. These endless cheers of love have kept me going for so long and I just want to take this time to thank all of you who have walked with and are fans both to the radio show and the brand Neomi. Here's my heartfelt wishes for a great year 2016! I will also be venturing into my own path, to do what I have always wanted to do. Keep it here for more details, but I am definitely looking to do great things in 2016. This means that I am saying goodbye to @onefmke . I will miss the entire team and more so my fans on the show. Thanks for making it what it has been. You have always been an amazing audience on the show. I love you. You are a family to me. Let's Ace 2016 in style. Have a blessed and prosperous year ahead. #GreaterThingsAhead #HappyNewYear #BlessedYear Photo Credits: @johniewaithaka

Pepsi's New $1 Million Logo Looks Like Old Diet Pepsi Logo
Pepsi paid Arnell $1 million for the "new" logo. I'm not the only one who thinks they've seen this logo before. O'Dwyer's PR blog thinks it looks like the Obama campaign logo.
As Ad Age points out, the real cost of the new/old logo comes not from its redesign but from replacing every can, truck, letterhead and collateral piece on the planet.
But the logo's minimalist feel also seems to be a nod to the iPod-ization of everything. There's currently an unwritten rule in the design business that all new products and ads must have a spare, text-free, clean look, just like Apple's music player and its ads. That look flourished right before the stock market crash. Just as the culture changed after 9/11, it is likely to change again as we move into a period of austerity ... which raises questions about how durable the iPod look -- and by extension the new Pepsi logo -- really is.
It's surprising that they didn't abandon the word Pepsi altogether, as in this T shirt. Such word-less logos (again, like Apple's) have the international advantage of not needing a clumsy translation into the local language or alphabet in foreign markets. Opportunity lost.

The goal of #27Monuments is to raise awareness about the twenty-seven U.S. National Monuments currently under explicit threat. Our aim is to educate the public and drive people to the DOI Comments Page (now closed after raising more than 2.7 million comments). To achieve this, journalist/filmmaker Brent Rose is attempting to visit as many of the 22 sites in the continental U.S. as possible and document the journey on Instagram.
In April, 2017 President Donald Trump issued an executive order to have the Department of the Interior reevaluate the status of national monuments that had been designated between the years 1996 and 2016 (provided they were more than 100,000 acres). The Department of the Interior is now gathering information about 27 national monuments that fit those criteria and in August it will make its recommendation about which monuments should be reduced in size or lose its designation all together. This would open these lands up to being logged, drilled, mined, grazed, or otherwise exploited, causing irreparable damage. You can find a good, short article about this here.
While this issue is certainly politicized, we at the #27Monuments Project maintain that this is not a Democrats/Republicans issue. It's about ensuring continued access to these precious lands for all of us. These incredible monuments are not only home to a diverse array of natural wonders (including wildlife, amazing geological formations, and some of the most important archeological sites in the U.S.), but they are places where we can hike, bike, fish, hunt, raft, and camp.
Five of the threatened 27 are Marine National Monuments, situated far off the shores of the continental U.S. For example, one of the monuments is the Marianas Trench, the deepest part of the Earth's ocean and the least-explored place on the entire planet. We know that underwater life is abundant here, but we haven't even scratched the surface. Yet it is in danger of losing its protected status which could open it up for underwater oil drilling.
The full list of the 27 monuments currently under threat are as follows:
The Journey
To raise public awareness about these monuments' plight and the rapidly approaching deadline for public comment, Brent will drive to as many of these sites as humanly possible in his van Ashley (aka The Beast) before July 10, 2017. Brent's friend Nick Furness, who works at Esri, used the extremely clever analysis capabilities built into Esri's ArcGIS Online to figure out the optimal route for the trip (starting from Colorado, where Brent was when he came up with this hair-brained idea). His route is subject to change, but check it out below:
Each day, new photos and videos will be posted on Instagram to show off what makes each place special and to give the public specific talking-points they can use on the Department of the Interior comments page (update: comment period is now closed). If he is able to make it to all of the 21 monuments in the western U.S. he will be driving more than 6,000 miles while also exploring the monuments and shooting/editing/posting daily photos and videos for each monument in under four weeks. He hopes to sleep here and there but he is not particularly optimistic on that front.

text: October 08, 2014 Dinner Party for 4 for less than $30 October 08, 2014/ Amy Kayne Lately, it's been my mission to show that you can cook gourmet food that's healthy, affordable and moderately easy. This past weekend, I served the following menu: $5 -Toasted Goat Cheese Crostini with truffled honey raspberries$18- Pork Chops with Grilled Peach and Apple Salsa$4-Wheat Berry Salad with roasted shallots, radicchio and kale$3- Caramel Pecan Apple BitesAlthough the menu sounds complicated, it's simple and took less than 1 hour to prep and only minutes to cook. How did I do it? Detailed prep work and the cooking order were crucial.The longest thing to cook was the wheat berries. If you are unfamiliar with wheat berries, try them out. The large rice like texture gives a great bite to a fall salad. Wheat Berry Salad with Roasted Shallots, Radicchio and Kale:1 cup dried wheat berriesSmall radicchio cut in quarters2 large shallots cut in ½4 medium Tuscan kale leaves sliced ¼ inch thick4 cups waterFor the Vinaigrette:¼ cup Cinder Vinegar1 TBs Dijon mustard1 crushed garlic clove½ cup Olive OilSalt and Pepper to tasteStart by placing the wheat berries in a saucepan with the water and bring to a boil. Once at a boil, simmer for 1 hour. While the wheat berries are cooking, heat the oven to 350 degrees. Place radicchio and shallots on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Then place in the oven for 30 minutes.While everything is cooking, whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients. Taste, taste, taste to make sure you like the mix of the ingredients and the acidity of the dressing. It will be put on the wheat berries so it might be a little stronger by itself. Slice up the radicchio in ribbons about ¼ inch thick. Chop roasted shallots.Place the kale in a large serving bowl. The kale does not need to be cooked because the heat from the cooked wheat berries will wilt it. Then add the cooked wheat berries, radicchio, shallots and vinaigrette. Mix gently and taste to make sure you have enough salt and pepper. The great thing about this side/salad is that you can let it sit at room temperature or serve it right away. Try a wheat berry today and let me know what you think!Toasted Goat Cheese Crostini with truffled honey raspberries:I've been a bit obsessed with truffled honey. If you are not familiar with the earthy flavor punch of truffle, then this is a perfect little bit to introduce sweet and savory to you and your family's pallet. 1 French baguette, cut into ¼ inch slices1 4 oz goat cheese log¼ cup 2% Greek yogurt2 TBs honey1/2 tsp truffle oil12-15 raspberries2 sprigs of fresh thyme, pickedWhen planning an app for a party, I usually count 2-3 bites per person, especially if it's the only app. For 4 people, I used about ¾ of the baguette. You can also freeze any sliced crostini for later use.Lightly toast the sliced baguette. While the bread is toasting, mix the Greek yogurt and goat cheese until smooth like cream cheese. In a separate bowl, mix honey and truffle oil and keep at room temperature.While the crostini are still warm, spread on goat cheese mixture, top with raspberry, drizzle the truffled honey on top and top with a sprinkle of fresh thyme. Pop the honey mixture in the microwave if the honey stiffened up.If you are not a fan of goat cheese, you can also use ricotta cheese as a substitute.Not only was this a great bite, it was family friendly, inexpensive and eye appealing. A great appetizer for the holidays! Pork Chops with Peach and Apple Salsa:4 bone in Pork Chops1 large peach, sliced in 1/21 large apple, cored and sliced in 1/21 small jalapeño, choppedJuice and zest of one small limeSalt and pepper to tasteOlive oil½ cup of celery leavesFirst, start by drizzling olive oil over the pork chops and sprinkle with salt and pepper let rest. If you plan on cooking the wheat berry salad recipe above, roast the apple with the shallots. If not, roast apple at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Heat the grill to high. Once heated, place the peach on the grill. Turn the heat down to medium and grill the pork chops, 5 minutes on each side. After five minutes, remove peach to start the salsa. For the salsa, chop the roasted apple and grilled peach and place in a bowl. Add jalapeno, lime juice, zest, a drizzle of olive oil and salt. Once pork chops are done, set aside and let rest while you get the rest of your meal ready. Add salsa to the top of the pork chops and top with celery leaves. Serve with wheat berry salad and a veggie of your choice. Caramel Pecan Apple Bites:This very simple dessert was a great ending to the meal. 2 large apples, sliced2 tsp caramel, meltedToasted pecans, choppedKosher salt to tastePlace sliced apples on plate, top with melted caramel, pecans and sprinkle with salt. This is one of my all time favorite desserts and it requires no baking. In less than 5 minutes and $3 later you've got yourself a sweet tooth satisfier!The guests loved this meal and we all agreed that if timed right, it could even be a quick mid-week meal a whole family would love. Enjoy eating 2gether!

Smiles Not Allowed
I live equidistant from Metro Center and the Capitol. When I jog on a weekday morning, if it's close to the time that work is getting started in either one of these places, I see lots of people who are beginning their work days.
Today, I drove Lynnette to work, so we passed lots of folks walking to work employed by the government.
In either occurrence, I rarely - no, I NEVER see anyone who looks like they're happy to be going to work.
Granted, today is Monday. And, granted, unless you work for yourself or fart money, work may not be the most exciting thing in the world, or the happiest of realities.
But, when people LITERALLY drag themselves into their offices and look like they'd rather be walking to the electric chair than a desk chair, something is wrong with your corporate culture.
Maybe my observations are pronounced because I'm polishing off the chapter of New Day Revolution about work. But, if I were the top dog somewhere and looked out of my Metro Center or James Robertson window and saw the spectacle of frowns that adorn the sidewalks at 8 AM, certainly I would get the clue that SOMETHING needed changing.
Some jobs are terrible. Some people will always hate working. But, there are a lot of people who not only don't mind working, but actually look forward to it.
You can't whitewash selling widgets or cheerlead glamor into a job that is garbage, but you can create a working environment where people feel like what they do is important, and where every person in the organization is bought in to the overall goals.
Otherwise, people WILL hate you.

Applied Materials, Inc.(NYSE: AMAT), announced today that it will install over 1.9 megawatts of solar power generation capability at its research campus in Sunnyvale, California. This is believed to be the largest solar power installation on an existing corporate facility in the United States and will be rolled out in three phases.
"When the project is complete we will have a silent, non-polluting 1.9 megawatt power plant on what is currently open roof space and parking areas, and a great hedge against future energy cost increases," said Mike Splinter, president and CEO of Applied Materials. "As we pursue our strategy to significantly drive down the overall solar cost-per-watt we feel it is important to lead through example and that installations of this size will help lower consumer cost and spur overall market growth."
Applied Materials will start installing panels later this year that use a variety of state of the art solar technologies. Once completed in 2008, Applied Materials' system will generate over 2,330 megawatt hours annually – the equivalent of powering 1,400 homes.
This megawatt installation by a single company is certainly the way for all companies to go in the future. This is the ultimate example of distributed renewable power. Applied Materials has its own interests also, recently entering the market as a supplier of equipment to manufacture solar cells and solar panels that they believe will reduce the cost of this equipment through greater efficiency in production.
