28 September 2018
After the last ICAF festival in March 2017, our Spanish colleague Eva García approached us with the suggestion to hold the next ICAF Summer School in her hometown Barcelona. She had attended our very first Summer School in the Netherlands at the end of August 2016 and saw many possibilities to improve it – as did we. After an extended working session with Eva in rural Catalonia in August 2017, we decided to go for it, got our ICAF intern and Barcelona resident Laura Blanch involved and the rest, as they say, is history. With a financial contribution from Barcelona's prestigious Grec Festival and in-kind support from the Sala Beckett in the Poblenou neighbourhood, the invaluable partnership with Eva's organisation ComuArt, and the help of many local volunteers, we managed to produce our very first ICAF event outside of the Netherlands.
The second ICAF Summer School took place between 22 and 29 July. It attracted close to 60 highly qualified participants from Catalonia, Spain, Chile, Argentina, Ecuador, Brazil, the USA, China, Australia, Czech Republic, the Netherlands, and many other places. Our artist teachers came from Mexico, the UK and the USA. For them, for the participants and for us as organisers it was a challenging but ultimately a very rewarding experience. READ MORE...

Meet Luis, Trailhead volunteer teacher and Trumpet player
I always use Trailhead in the classroom, it's a ready-made lesson! I don't have to know how to put a lesson together from scratch, Trailhead has already done all the work.
How did you first learn about Salesforce?
A friend of mine was running his own law firm and he asked me to help customize their Salesforce org. While I didn't know the platform, I decided to try to help out. Right away I started to appreciate that platform and how customizable it was. Around that same time, the manager of my orchestra gave me a Salesforce license so I could organize all of the information for the orchestra and the musicians. It was through a series of good luck that I found Salesforce.
Do you have any certifications? Which ones and how did you study for them?
Yes, I'm a Certified Administrator and I'm in the process of obtaining the Advanced Administrator and Platform App Builder certifications. To study, I suggest using the official Salesforce Study Guide, along with the curated trailmixes by Team Trailhead. The community is also a great place to ask for recommendations and for help if you're struggling with a certain skill.
What is it like to be a Trailblazer in Mexico?
It's an exciting time to be a Trailblazer in Mexico. The community here is constantly growing. The number of jobs and opportunities you can find in the Salesforce Ecosystem is very impressive. Salesforce is having a positive impact in Mexico not only for businesses but for individual people's livelihood. More and more people are learning about the opportunities you can have with Salesforce skills.
How do you use Trailhead to give back to your community?
I volunteer to teach Salesforce in local universities here in Mexico. I always use Trailhead in the classroom, it's a ready-made lesson! I don't have to know how to put a lesson together from scratch, Trailhead has already done all the work.
What does the Salesforce community mean to you?
The musician side of me will come out here, but the community is like Ravel's Bolero, a classical song where individual instruments start to play and eventually all the instruments are playing beautifully together. The community is the same way, new people join at their own slow pace, and before you know it, everyone is working gorgeously together. The community is such a place of togetherness, you can ask questions and collaborate with people in other countries all over the world. Try it out, pose a question online on the Trailblazer Community and before you know it, someone in Australia or New Jersey will have given you a thoughtful response...or maybe it will be me from Mexico!
What does being a Trailblazer mean to you?
Just like Spiderman's Uncle Ben said: "With great power comes great responsibility." For me, that power is my Salesforce knowledge. I want to wield this power to inspire others, especially young people, to study on Trailhead and gain valuable Salesforce skills. It's our job as Trailblazers to go out into the community and make sure other's can achieve a better quality of life from the multitude of experiences and opportunities that come with a top-notch tech education.

Please find the terms and conditions of the Werkhaus Design + Produktion GmbH (I.) and the customer information (II) as follows. We have tried to chose a form that is easy to understand. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. We are happy to answer them. You may contact us from Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5 pm: E-mail:email@example.com or phone: +49 (0)5824 / 955-0.
I. Terms and conditions
1. The scope of these terms and conditions; deviating regulations
1.1. These terms and conditions shall apply to all contracts between Werkhaus Design + Produktion GmbH, Industriestrasse 11+13, 29389 Bad Bodenteich (henceforth called Werkhaus) and their customers. Customers are consumers as well as entrepreneurs.
1.2. Any modifications that are made to these terms and conditions are subject to written confirmation from Werkhaus. Werkhaus herewith objects all inclusions of terms and conditions from customers unless their validity is agreed upon.
1.3. In the case that the terms and conditions may include different regulations for the business with entrepreneurs than with consumers this is set out in clause or paragraph 9.
2. contract
2.1. The products or services offered in the Werkhaus shops are no binding offers, but an invitation to the customer to make a binding offer by placing an order to Werkhaus. The placing of the offer by the customer is possible by phone, fax, email or directly with the shopping cart at our online shop. Before sending the purchase order, Werkhaus enables the customer to check all order details as well as the products and their amount and correct possible data errors. The order is completed and submitted as soon as the button "Bestellung abschicken" i.e. "send order" is clicked.
2.2. Werkhaus can accept the customer's offer verbally, in writing or with a digitally submitted confirmation of the order or by delivering the goods within 10 days. With the acceptance of this, the contract between the customer and Werkhaus is completed. Werkhaus is authorized to reject the acceptance of the customer's offer.
3. Prices
3.1. All Werkhaus product prices given in the online shops are final prices that contain all price components including the German value added tax unless the product price indicates something else. The purchase prices are plus any additional delivery and packaging costs, where applicable. If the order totals more than 100 € free shipping is received for the delivery in Germany. Below that amount there is a shipping and handling charge of 4,95 € within Germany. Deliveries within Europe will be charged according to the actual postal charges.
3.2. All prices apply that are shown at the time of ordering. Werkhaus assumes no liability for incorrect labelled goods.
3.3. The customer receives the invoice for the delivered goods separately per regular mail. Payment without deduction is due 14 days after the invoice or any other request of payment is received. For orders from new customers that exceed 150 € the payment is only possible with cash on delivery or prepayment. Werkhaus offers the following methods of payment:
- Payment made by direct debit: You allow us to directly withdraw the total amount from your bankaccount. The authorization for the direct debit is also valid for further invoices until you cancel it. Note: 3 % discount for direct debit.
- Cash on delivery: The accessorial charges (5,60 € at present) are at your expense.
- Prepayment: You pay the total amount in advance and receive the goods after receipt of the payment. Note: 3 % discount for prepayment.
- Payment upon receipt: In any case of payment delay Werkhaus is entitled to charge default interests according to §§ 288, 286 BGB. Werkhaus reserves the right to accept only prepayment or cash on delivery for new customers or in special cases. For customers outside Germany Werkhaus only accepts prepayment.
3.4. For transnational deliveries additional costs may arise (taxes, customs duties or other) that have to be paid by the customer.
4. Retention of title clause
All goods remain the property of Werkhaus until full payment has been received.
5. Returns guarantee and returns consequences for deliveries to customers with distance contracts
Consumers may have the right of withdrawl after the conclusion of a distance contract with a company according to § 312d BGB. As far as such a right of withdrawl exists, Werkhaus entitles its customer, who is a consumer and has concluded a contract on the delivery of goods by using only distance communication means, to a returns right instead of a right of withdrawl with the following returns policy:
Returns policy
You may return your received goods within 14 days for any reason. The time limit shall commence upon receipt of this instruction in text form (e.g. regular mail, fax, email) but not before the recipient has received the goods (in case of recurring deliveries of similar goods not prior to receipt of the first partial shipment) and not prior to fulfill our obligation to inform according to section 246 § 2 in connection with § 1 paragraph 1 and 2 EGBGB. If goods (e.g. bulky goods) can not be sent by parcel delivery you may declare the return with a request of return in writing. To comply with the time limit the goods or the request of return have to be sent in time. The return is always on our expense and our risk. The return or the request of return must be effected to:
Fa. Werkhaus Design + Produktion GmbH
Industriestraße 11-13 29389 Bad Bodenteich
phone: +49 (0)5824 / 955-0
fax: +49 (0)5824 / 955-0
In case of a request of return the goods will be collected from you. Consequences of return In the event of a valid return, any mutually received services or products, and any usages derived there from, if any, shall be returned. In the event of deterioration of the item and for usages (e.g. usage advantages) that cannot or partly not be handed out or can only be handed out in a deteriorated state, you will be liable to pay compensation to us accordingly. You only have to compensate for the lost value for the deterioration of the item and any usages derived, when the usages or the deterioration can be attributed to the handling of the item, that goes beyond the testing of quality characteristics and functionality. "Testing quality characteristics and functionality" means the testing and trying out of goods as it is possible and commonly accepted in e.g. a retail shop. Payments have to be refunded within 30 days. The time limit starts for you by returning the goods or the request of return; for us by receiving the goods.
Specific notes According to §§ 312d Abs. 4 Nr. 1, 356 Abs. 2 S 2 BGB the returns guarantee does not apply on contracts for the delivery of goods produced according to customer specifications (e.g. photo walls) or clearly tailored to personal needs or for the delivery of audio or video recordings or of software where the seal on the data carriers has been broken by the consumer.
End of returns policy
6. Guarantee for costumers; warranty
6.1. Possible indemnity claims because of the claim under guarantee are restricted to the retail price of the item.
6.2. We guarantee our customers, who are consumers, the reliability of our products. We and accordingly our suppliers grant our customers, who are consumers, a guarantee of quality for 24 months for all Werkhaus items except photo walls. For hidden defects or damages that appear in spite of proper use within 24 months, we will -according to our judgment- initiate a repair or a replacement by delivering an identical or alternatively equivalent article or by refunding the purchase price for the respective item. The guarantee period begins with the date of invoice.
6.3. All other claims for grant regulated by law remain unaffected hereof.
7. Specific regulations for contracts on the delivery of custom-made products
7.1. With contracts on the production and/or delivery of a custom-made product Werkhaus provides services that are manufactured according to customer specifications. Every custom-made product is a single-item production. Therefore the customer is not entitled to a right of withdrawl or a right of return.
7.2. Unless otherwise agreed, the delivery of a custom-made product will not be carried out until the customer has paid the total purchase price to Werkhaus plus separately accounted shipping and handling charge.
7.3. Werkhaus does not warrant the reproduction of the original colours and possible occurrences of quality loss due to the compression of photos.
7.4. Copyright The client declares that he owns the rights on the picture, he has Werkhaus provided with to produce the custom-made product, or that he has purchased the rights from the owner. The client declares explicitly that he releases Werkhaus from possible indemnity claims due to the infringement of copyright brought by third parties and indemnifies if needed. Werkhaus accepts the declaration.
8. Data protection
For more information see section privacy and data protection.
9. Business with entrepreneurs
The above mentioned terms on returns rights and guarantees do not apply to business with entrepreneurs. In these cases the statutory provisions apply. If the buyer is a entrepreneur, the place of jurisdiction is Uelzen for both parties, regardless of how the contract became valid. The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies exclusively.
10. Severability clause
If any clause of these terms and conditions is not legally effective- totally or partly- or loses its legal effectiveness later, the validity of the terms and conditions is not affected in any manner. The effectless clauses will be replaced by the statutory provisions. The same applies if the terms and conditions contain an unforeseen gap.
II. Customer information for consumers
1. Information about the identity of the seller and the respective identifiable address:
Fa. Werkhaus Design + Produktion GmbH
Industriestraße 11+13
D-29389 Bad Bodenteich
phone: +49 (0)5824 / 955-0

company registration number: HRB 120242
VAT identification number (ref. to §27a Value Added Tax Act) : DE 151089578
2. Information about the basic characteristics of the goods and the conclusion of the contract
The basic characteristics of the goods arise from the product description in the Werkhaus online shops or the catalogue. The contract is concluded when the customer has placed an order that is accepted by Werkhaus. We are processing recycled wood (MDF/HDF- fibreboard) as a natural material, therefore on the products slight variations of colour are possible and are no reason for complaint.
3. Information about the total price of the goods including all price components as well as about all taxes paid by the entrepreneur as well as about additional delivery and packaging costs as well as about additional delivery and packaging costs, where applicable.

Blog Archives
Three months ago yesterday I moved out of my ex's apartment and into my house. It's weird…some days it feels like it's been forever, and other days it felt like it was just yesterday. I'm pretty sure he's felt the same too, as he was saying it had been three months six weeks ago.
I've had my ups and downs. I've been diagnosed with PTSD over the losses I had back in 2008/2009. Avoidance of things I needed to take care of…like the house? Flashbacks, like being unable to take care of others when they were sick? Nightmares, insomnia, anxiety, depression? I seriously had it all, and just didn't know how bad it was. I didn't get the help I needed then, and it became too much.
I was letting the fears get the best of me. Yes, PTSD explains why, but I hate admitting letting something like fear keep me from a positive future.
When our relationship fell apart last year, I didn't have much to hold onto to get me through it. He said he was sorry for cheating and wanted to try to work things out, and I believed him. I said that working things out meant he had to stop the cheating. He promised he would. So I said I was going to move, but was taking my time because I thought he really wanted me to stay.
I still had a lot of fears regarding facing the house. And the thought being on my own after living with a person for nearly a decade was also scary. Those fears kept me from doing what I needed to do. I convinced myself that things would be all right as they were. That time would handle everything. I didn't push myself to move.
I let the fears win.
Then I caught him at it again earlier this year. He doesn't know how much I know. He thought he could lie and say he stopped, but I knew everything. I know what he's said and done. I know the things he's called me. He was done with the relationship long before I broke up with him. So much for wanting to work things out….
It all finally hit me. It was the proverbial rock and a hard place. I was letting the fear of moving keep me in a bad living situation. It was the fear of the unknown, being alone, that held me in an uncomfortable but familiar "relationship." I realized I had a choice: Remain in a situation where I was unwanted, miserable, being used, and not getting the support I needed…or face those fears and give the unknown a shot at being good. It wasn't a hard decision at that point.
I'm not saying that the past three months have been all sunshine and rainbows. I've had several days where the depression wanted to bring me down again. But I've gained SO MUCH by facing those fears.
Suddenly, I felt free.
I've taken to calling February 24th "Emancipation Day." Sure, it was the day I moved out, but that means it was also the day I freed myself from my fears. Sure, they still linger and threaten to take over from time to time, but then I remember what I gained by facing them, fighting back, and defeating them.
I have a great house. I have a great new roommate. I am getting my health back, both physical and mental. I have friends…loads of friends! Friends who suddenly stepped up out of Acquaintanceville or who came back, rekindling friendships we had before. Friends who are interested in me as a person, not what they can get out of me. Heck, friends who are interested in more than just friendship, but kept their distance in respect for my previous relationship. Now they don't have to.
I have so much support and love coming from all directions that it's overwhelming sometimes. I have so much support and love to give, and it feels good to give back.
I've gained so much confidence again. I've been coming out of that dark place. I'm remembering who I am.
I am happy.
Sometimes I wish I had faced those fears sooner, but I think it happened at the right time. Would my relationship have survived? Maybe. But looking back at everything, would I really want to be in that relationship anymore? Not really. I learned a lot about myself and a lot about him, and it's better this way.
But most importantly, I am free to be me again. I have learned how far down I can slip when I let my fears rule me. I have learned I have the strength to overcome them myself. And now? Now I have new goals and know I can attain them.
Come back here next February 24th. You will see a VERY changed person.
And I challenge you to do the same. What do you need to free yourself from? What fears hold you back from being the best YOU that you can be?
Face them. Break them. Find your freedom. It's the most amazing feeling.
I know, I know. I keep saying I'm going to get back on track and write more. I've finally been getting back on track, just haven't been writing about it.
Here's the thing: I have been suffering major clinical depression. There, I've said it. I'm not always a strong person. I'm good at putting on a strong face and supporting others when I'm crumbling inside. But the first step to healing is admitting you have a problem, right? Well there you go.
I will post my story eventually. It's helped to finally talk about it with people. I kept it all bottled in and didn't get any professional support or help since my world fell apart in late 2008 when my dad died. Things went downhill from there with lots of other major setbacks. Some days I struggled to just get out of bed. Strangers tell me how strong I am and how impressed they are at the transformation I went through last year…all I saw was a fat girl struggling to tread the emotional waters in a deep, dark place. I didn't ask for help when I needed it. I cried myself to sleep nearly every night hoping SOMEONE would see how badly I needed help. I hated myself every day. Living like that was hard. In fact, there are no words to describe how hard it is, and it certainly isn't "living." You have to experience it to know, and I don't wish that kind of situation upon anyone. It was that bad.
But like losing weight last year, I had to rely on myself. I wanted to change so badly, and only had the words of a few "strangers on the internet" and a few people who knew me to keep me going. I wasn't working, was finishing school online, and only had in-person social contact with my fiance who really wanted the depression to just go away. So no one really knew what I was going through except maybe two long-distance friends who have struggled with depression themselves. Hell, there were times I considered suicide, but decided that would be too much effort. Yeah, I didn't even have the strength to actively pursue ways to remove myself from everyone else's problems. Besides, that felt like a coward's way out…plus what was left of my inheritance would have gone to my brother and he's such a cockbite that I wasn't going to let him benefit from it. =P
I couldn't stand being in that dark place and struggled to pull myself out. Even my 10-year relationship suffered. I was not able to give my fiance the affection he wanted, so he looked elsewhere. He'd told me that my depression was "bullshit" and I should "just get over it." In our last argument in late February, he first screamed at me about how he couldn't stand living with me and couldn't wait until I was gone. Later he admitted to cheating on me. I said I'd be out that Friday. And I was.
Not gonna lie, it hasn't been easy. But the scary unknown future is better than the familiar dark place I was in. I moved into my childhood home (I inherited it in the estate and was too scared of the bad memories to move into it before, and finally found some self-confidence when I faced them alone), and one of my long-distance friends later moved into the spare bedroom.
A mix of sunlight, a new place, eating right and exercising again, and having a dear friend in my actual presence who understands depression and actively listens (and on whose shoulder I've left a few mascara stains already) has helped a lot. Money is scary now, but I'm looking for a job. That and the remnants of Hurricane Depression are what's left to face right now…I think I can handle it.
I'm starting over again, but this time I'm not alone. And finally being able to name my demon has been helping me face it.
I'll be writing more for real this time. I've already started exercising again to get my body used to working out, and have added walking on the vast network of trails by my house to get me moving. I plan to start the Couch To 5K (C25K) program in a little over a week (look for that either April 15 or 17) and have just completed Week 1 of 100/200/200 again. I've been keeping a mini-journal on paper lately, and will probably move it back/copy it/elaborate here.
I also plan to post more about depression, helping yourself through it, and how to help someone you know who has it. I've learned a lot, and I'm not totally out of that bad place yet, but I can finally a light up ahead and am certain it ISN'T an oncoming vehicle! I hope to be able to help others who may be going through the same thing I did but don't know how to get to a better place in life.
I feel reborn again. I've been wearing the phoenix pendant I already own, and haven't taken it off since I moved. It's a constant reminder that change is always happening, and you can either just go with the flow or use it to better yourself.
Because this post is of a rather personal nature, I've turned off comments. If you feel the need to respond to anything in this post in particular, you may email me at firebudgie (AT) gmail (DOT) com. Thanks for understanding, and I will be back with new posts soon!

Recently I was asked if I could photograph a brand new bike. But, I wasn't allowed to tell anyone about the bike. Because, it was not yet ready for release to the public. Well it is now, and I can talk about it. Presenting the new Ibis Mojo 3.
I only had a short time with Pete and the bike, but we managed to get a few nice shots of it in action here on Mt Buller. And Scot Nicols from Ibis Cycles has used some of those images on the Ibis cycles website for the launch of the new model. You can check them out here.

Environmental sustainability and resource scarcity are urgent issues, and new ways of providing products and services are needed. Swedish companies need to learn about, and implement more circular business models that cover the entire product life cycle and take into account sustainability and resource issues based on a system perspective. This project aims at developing innovative support for Swedish manufacturers, designing products and services that allow increased resource efficiency and sustainability. By using the support, the aim is also to develop three innovative offers for the companies.
Expected effects and results
The project has three types of results.
1) Software, with the life cycle and sustainability focus, to design product / service including the calculation of life cycle costs for them. It is intended for wide industrial use and validated in terms of functionality and efficiency with three partner manufacturers.
2) A guide is included with the software for designers about the correlation between life cycle cost driven design and their effects on environmental sustainability.
3) Three more sustainable solutions developed and offered to the markets individually by manufacturing partners.

Florida Police Arrest 93 Year-Old Woman For Allegedly Refusing To Pay Rent
Police in Eustis, Florida arrested a 93-year-old woman accused of trespassing after the independent living facility in which she lived reported that she has refused to pay rent.
Juanita Fitzgerald, 93, was held in the Lake County Jail on a $500 bondfor 2 days and was released Thursday on her own recognizance, a Lake County Sheriff's Office spokesman said.
Fitzgerald did not have to pay bond, must appear for a Dec. 27 court appearance, officials said.
Before Fitzgerald left the jail, she showed WFTV the bruises on her arms and legs, injuries she said she received during her arrest.
"Now, can you imagine anybody doing that to an old woman?" she asked. "They wouldn't treat a murderer like they treated me."
Bodycam footage released by Eustis police show officers taking a screaming Fitzgerald to jail. At one point, she slides out of her wheelchair onto the ground to avoid arrest.
"There's no reason for me to leave. Not one," said Fitzgerald.
Fitzgerald said she lived at Franklin House, an affordable housing facility in Eustis, for almost 8 years, and she couldn't understand why she was being evicted.
According to police reports, she told officers, "Unless you carry me out of here, I'm, not going anywhere."
Watch video of the arrest below:
Police said they offered Fitzgerald assistance from nearly a dozen agencies to avoid arresting her, but she refused, so they had no choice but to place her under arrest for trespassing.
As officers attempted to escort her out of the building, she intentionally slid out of her chair and onto the floor and resisted when officers tried to pick her up, the report said.
Dressed in an orange jail jumpsuit, with bruises on her arms and handcuffs around her wrists, Fitzgerald denied the allegations that she didn't pay rent because she thought she was going to die soon.
"I don't have anybody. My family is in Tennessee and I told them not to tell my son anything that's going on," she said.
Fitzgerald also said she tried to pay rent in October and was refused. She said the Franklin House offered her assistance and tried to find her another home, but she refused and she has refused help from her own family.
"I don't want them to help me. I don't need no help. I've got all the help I need," Fitzgerald said pointing to the sky. "I'm a born-again Christian and I'm spirit-filled," she said.
Fitzgerald also said she would like to go back to Franklin House, if possible.
"Yeah, I'd go back there and live," she said. "You know, that's all the people I know."

Trust Yourself Before you Brexit/
In case you missed it, the markets were just horrible today. Don't look – most of the stocks are in the red. Unless you were hiding under a rock (hey – no judgment, I get under a rock sometimes too), I'm sure that you now know that on June 23rd, British voters approved a referendum to leave (or exit) the European Union (EU), hence Brexit. We touched on this very briefly last week. Here's what's important to me when I think about the effect on the stock market:
- European banks crash – really bad for European markets, and the impact is surely tied to global markets and thus US downward spiral
- The British pound (currency that is) fell to its lowest level in decades – currency markets heavily affected (and now it will be cheaper to go to London)
- Prime Minister, David Cameron, who supported the UK remaining in the EU, announced he will step down in October of 2016 – political instability leads to market fears
- The US Federal Reserve will probably not raise interest rates any time soon – stock market gets very jittery
Notice the common theme? Markets are crashing around us. It will take time for the markets to figure this one out.
All of the chatter can make you feel as if the best place for your money is in a savings account.
Trust me, flocking to safety is a direct result of fear. Flocking to safety can sound appealing in the short-term, but over the long-term, sticking to an investment philosophy that can withstand market turbulence is key.
Now, "short-term" and "long-term" mean different things to different people, so I'll let you decide what's best for you. One of the best pieces of advice I got is when I was working at JPMorgan and picking stocks for a living, came from my portfolio manager (thanks, Jonathan), and he said to me – "Charisse, in times of market uncertainty, sometimes you got to wait it out and sometimes you got to seize opportunity." His words ring true today.
So, before you BREX yourself from the market (or exit), check in with your financial advisor, revisit your investment philosophy, and develop a plan to wait or act.
Top 10 Charisse Sayings Over the Past Year
I promised you I'd get you my top 10 rules to live by, which I've accumulated over the past year. In honor of the one-year anniversary, I want to share these with you. After all, I do care about you.
- Be the CEO of your money – Your true badass self
- Don't be afraid of the stock market – it has historically returned almost 7% per year annually
- Make someone else hold you accountable, your Money COO
- Always date your financial advisor
- Allocate less than 20% of your gross income to debt repayments
- Take advantage of dollar-for-dollar matching when offered by your employer.
- You can invest outside of your 401k on your own – brokerage account and/orroboadvisor is a good option
- You cannot time the market - Don't try
- Get a Roth IRA if you can swing it
- Diversify your portfolio and get low-fee products to help boost your returns over time
Happy week! Keep that head up.

Craving something sweet and yummy? This is so easy to make, with a satisfying taste and familiar consistency.
Did you know it's a natural mechanism for us to search out sweet foods, and that some of us really do have more of a measurable craving for sweetness than others? That's an ancient drive to forage for berries and ripe fruits in the warm season so that we obtain the energy and rich nutrients which they contain. The problem is the modern food industry has capitalized on this drive to keep us craving more and more so that, simply, we keep buying their products.
I freely admit that I love dessert - more than I really "should" and I don't want to go without them! This is one that the whole family likes, and it's much healthier than the packaged alternative.
Using a food processor, mix:
- 2 avocados
- 3 Tablespoons cocoa/cacao powder
- approx 6 Tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to taste) - it should go without saying, but use real, good quality maple syrup! The darker the syrup, the more minerals it still contains, so choose dark over light varieties.
Spoon into serving dishes and refrigerate.
Add whatever toppings you like, such as fresh berries, goji berries, or shredded unsweetened coconut.

By Maurits Elen
As with other companies that have seen their logos and trademarks hijacked by Chinese companies, Apple now risks losing control over selling its iPad tablets in China, after a Shenzhen court ruled the multinational tech-giant guilty of copyright infringement.
A small company named Proview Electronics, which registered the iPad trademark in China before Apple, now seeks to exclude the Silicon Valley company from selling its tablet on the Chinese market.
Proview registered Apple's trademarks "iPad" and "IPAD" in 2001, which it used to gain a larger market share for its own tablet. After an unsuccesfull attempt to do so, Proview then had to contend with liquidity problems.
Between 2000 and 2004 Proview registered the iPad trademark in several countries and regions, including China, South-Korea, Mexico, Singapore, Indonesia and the European Union.
In 2010 a subsidiary of Proview in Taiwan sold the trademark rights to UK-based "IP Applications" for a reported sum of 35,000 pounds, before then being quietly sold to Apple. But although Apple signed a contract for the trademark rights, the court ruled that it had done so only through Proview's auxiliary and not through Proview's Hong Kong-based holding company, resulting in a legally non-binding agreement.
In the meantime, Proview has already filed a lawsuit against Apple to ban it selling its products in the Guangdong cities of Shenzhen and Huizhou. Xie Xianghui, a lawyer working for Proview, stated the following:
""Because Apple is a very influential company, no one wants to think they are being unreasonable. But in this case, they really are being unreasonable."
"We are starting with these two cities, and if we are successful in getting iPad sales stopped, we will consider going after Apple resellers elsewhere in China."
According to research firm Analysys International, Apple's iPad had a 74 percent market share in the 2nd quarter of 2011.
The court ruling news comes at a hectic time for Apple, who is currently also engaged in a number of global patent battles against Samsung Electronics and HTC. Apple hasn't responded to the court ruling yet, but is still in a position to appeal the court's decision.

Just as many students have nightmares about failing a pop quiz, business owners have nightmares about a power outage or other disaster wiping out their company's data. But that's not the only potential business danger lurking in your IT. A failure at the level of computing infrastructure can be devastating, even ruinous. But even short of catastrophe, a poorly-designed IT infrastructure system could be draining your business of productivity and profitability.
The technology behind almost any modern business across every industry conducts several mission-critical roles, from coordinating security monitors and communications to customer relationship management, from human resources to financial and operational analyses, and of course many other complex, ongoing, and interdependent processes. Resilient and robust IT systems protect against hacker attacks and prevent or reduce downtime during natural disasters.
But unless you're a leading Managed Services Provider, you likely didn't go into business to become an IT expert, much less remain on the cutting edge of the latest innovations and technology opportunities that evolve constantly. Therefore, in order to create an optimal IT system and to keep it at that optimal state, it is financially and operationally imperative to enlist a dedicated team of experts to do so on your behalf.
Are you using your servers to their full capacity? Should you add virtualized servers, move to cloud-based servers, or design a hybrid system to meet your unique business needs? Are your employees or their workstations being used to their maximum productivity, or are they sitting idle? How long does it take to back up your data, and how long would it take to recover it in case of disaster? Which employees have access to which data?
If you don't know the answer to these questions and more, it's time to schedule a complimentary IT assessment and of your business IT needs, including a full audit of the current state of your system and expert recommendations for future IT planning.

I have been natural for the majority of my existence. In fact my days with a perm only lasted for a year.
I was raised in a house of christians who didn't believe that it was appropriate to have pierced ears or processed hair until the appropriate age of about eighteen ( when you can make decisions on your own). My mother though, was a bit lenient and I ended up getting my first piercing in grade 9 and my first perm in my last days of the eleventh grade.
I continued with that style for one year of sixth form and then I stopped when I moved on to college. In Jamaica, for those who wouldn't know, braids aren't allowed in schools (except for a lucky few) and I believe that was the main reason for me waiting until the end of school to stop processing my hair.
My mane is extremely thick and kinky ( I would describe it as 4c if I were to go by the prescribed charts) and it was very hard to manage so going back to my natural hair and combing it by myself in high school wasn't an option.
So from 2011 to 2012 I sported braids ( mainly rope twists with afro kinky or nappy annie hair). As soon as one style came out another one went in. I had no contact with my hair for that period.
Then I became familiar with youtube and the naturalistas on it. That's when I found out about big chops and 'bantu knots' and 'twist outs' and the 'wash and go' that I doubt I will ever try. I had no problem with accepting my texture in the first place and I wasn't scared of being hairless (for a while) so I decided to go completely natural.
On my 19th birthday I got myself a big chop and bleached hair as a gift to myself. At first it was braids month after month but after I started getting some decent length I began experimenting with my hair, trying new styles and treatments, buying new products and making my own.
Since then a lot of persons have seen my hair and liked it and a lot of them would love to know what I do.
So this little series is about my hair and what I do to it on a weekly, daily and monthly basis. You can expect product reviews every now an then. Affordable product reviews by the way ( I'm a wealthy woman in training- I'm not there as yet). Expect story times with all the mistakes I have made as well… You will enjoy those.
So look out for more posts. It promises to be loads of fun.

Oggy and the Mermaid is the 73rd episode of Season 4. Jack is relaxing in the boat while Oggy is scuba diving failing to take pictures of sea life and encounters a mermaid and also a shark. Joey is interested in the mermaid so he decides to kidnap her for his fashion show to make money while his pals are trying to distract the shark. However, Joey's plan has gone too far so Marky and Dee Dee have to get help from the shark and Oggy to foil Joey's plan and rescue the mermaid.
It starts with Oggy goes scuba diving, he wants Jack to go with him. But Jack disagrees and rests in the boat. Oggy will go by himself. He dives but the dive suit's bottom is sticks to the boat's nail, tearing Oggy's suit. Then Oggy swims down to a coral. He takes pictures of it's tentacles but it's quickly avoids Oggy. Oggy is disappointed because his pictures of coral are all holes, so he erases it. But he sees a tortoise, and follows it.
Then, the Cockroaches appear, wearing their swimsuits and jump to the water. They see a gold fish, they laugh at it, the gold fish ignores their laugh and swims away. Then Dee Dee eats the fish, it swims back and says Dee Dee is crazy.
Back at Oggy, the tortoise tricks him to go into a sink boat but while doing so Oggy accidentally finds a mermaid singing so he tries to takes pictures of her but manages to evade him. Oggy then encounters an angry, muscular shark who turns to be the mermaid's Girlfriend. Oggy is then beaten afterwards. The cockroaches have a sea race so Joey rides a seahorse, but he starts getting angry because his brothers are going faster than him, Dee Dee goes with a jellyfish and Marky goes with a ray. When they turn right to the coral, Dee Dee accidentally hits a column, making Joey and Marky laugh. They see the mermaid and the shark playing table tennis, Joey thinks he can kidnap her and make a lot of money. But Dee Dee and Marky disagree with Joey's plan, fearful of the shark noticing and beating them up. Joey thinks again and smiles.
They hide in a shell. Joey says Dee Dee will distract the shark to beat up Oggy, he and Marky will kidnap the mermaid. But Dee Dee fearfully disagrees because he gonna be smashed. Angered, Joey slaps him, prompting DeeDee to finally go. Marky laughs but also gets slapped too. Dee Dee waves the shark's attention and gets squeezed after that. He points out to the shark that Joey and Marky found the mermaid's scout, Oggy. They open Oggy's camouflage and is chased by the shark. Joey & Marky laugh at Dee Dee but he sees the mermaid as a sushi dish, so he tries to eat her but is again slapped by Joey, only managing to get a scale. Joey & Marky then go to the sink boat and kidnap the Mermaid , leaving DeeDee behind. Wanting revenge, Dee Dee calls the shark, while getting squeezed in the process. He shows the shark that his mermaid friend is missing so he frantically tries to look for her but fails, so he cries. But the paddle (flounder), a Ping-Pong ball (sea urchin) and Dee Dee show the shark where Joey and Marky are. The Shark angrily destroys the boat windows. Hearing the commotion , Marky opens the window and sees the shark heading their way. Shocked and scared he tells that Joey and him will be smashed. Worried, he frantically looks for a way to stop the Shark. He then sees an anchor and smiles having an idea: Marky will sacrifice himself to lure the shark and Joey will anchor the Shark. But Marky fearfully disagrees. He is beaten by Joey and he lures the Shark to the anchor. The shark smashes Marky. Marky points at the anchor, where's Joey pull it down and lands in the Shark's head. Then Joey carries the mermaid away but Oggy stops him. Joey grabs a swordfish and fights Oggy, but Oggy clicks the camera's button, stretching the scope right into Joey's face, with Joey losing all his teeth and collapses. Marky and Dee Dee cheer for Oggy. The Shark takes pictures of Oggy and the mermaid with Marky, Dee Dee, the flounder and the urchin. The last picture is the mermaid kisses Oggy in the cheek. Jack is surprised, he presses the switch rapidly, but he accidentally presses the erase button. Oggy gets angry and chases Jack. In the shore, Marky and Dee Dee wave to good bye the flounder and the urchin, (Joey appears at wounded, his body is float). Seeing Oggy chases Jack, they laugh.
- What happens in the story is way similar to the show Zig & Sharko, also created by the episode's writer and director, Olivier Jean-Marie, and produced by Xilam.

2019 Ford GT500 Relesase Date, Specs, Price – Soon after getting stopped in 2014, the Ford GT500 has been keenly awaited amongst the supporters. Properly, in line with the rumors and spy images our team has, we can inform you this popular high-performance auto has been analyzed and prepared to get uncovered as being a 2019 Ford GT500 design.
In terms of an exterior of your 2019 Ford GT500, this product has been mostly in comparison to the GT350 with regards to style. However, the newest GT500 will show up a lot more hostile. Despite the fact that we now have noticed the hidden edition only, we now have still managed to get some tips regarding this new athletics coupe and its particular body. The chassis will probably be distinctive and a lot more aerodynamic. Some of the earlier mentioned capabilities that look like the GT350 will be body solar panels, but you will also discover some considerable changes and improvements. At the front fascia, you will observe a brand-new hood using a redesigned grille. The fender having a front side splitter may well be more substantial.
The environment intakes found in the bumper is going to be larger and allow much more oxygen into the engine. You will also location new part skirts plus the new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S wheels about the tires. Within the back again the portion of the vehicle, this design will dress in a bigger setback end wing on the top of its trunk area. Many of these features will mainly increase the overall performance with this auto and offer it a sporty and vibrant design.
The famous Mustang interior is not going to alter very much within the new 2019 Ford GT500. Actually, there is maybe a lack of information when it comes to the cabin since the hidden variation of this version has rarely allowed us to see some exterior features. Even though dashboard and middle gaming system will remain comparable, the interior will go through some changes and upgrades. The toned-bottomed steering wheel will resemble usually the one identified inside of the GT350, although the GT500 will receive audio system, back-end chairs, atmosphere-conditioning, a rearview camera as well as other features which were kept out from the GT350. We point out to you that this GT350 is a lot more performance concentrated.
It is not proved yet what kind of engine the 2019 Ford GT500 will be camouflaging beneath its hood. However, one of many possibilities could come with a 5.-liter dual-turbocharged V8. The other version incorporates a supercharged 5.2-liter V8 engine that has been located in the GT350. Perhaps, the brand new GT500 uses nor of those and use a brand-new engine, but it has been rumored that it ought to hit greater than 700 hp.

Two primary purposes guided this quasi-experimental within-teacher study: (a) to examine changes from baseline through 2 years of professional development (Individualizing Student Instruction) in kindergarten teachers' differentiation of Tier 1 literacy instruction; and (b) to examine changes in reading and vocabulary of 3 cohorts of the teachers' students (n = 416). We observed teachers' instruction and assessed students on standardized measures of vocabulary and word reading. Results suggested that teachers significantly increased their differentiation and students showed significantly greater word reading outcomes relative to baseline. We observed no change for vocabulary. The results have implications for supporting teacher effectiveness through technology-supported professional development.

I remember when I was an intern in The White House I worked for an incredible woman who had at least six notepads where she organized her life. She was a Wife, Mother and Special Assistant to the President. She worked long, long hours and separated her life onto canary yellow legal pads, making lists for each department of her being. I would watch her scribble intently on each notepad, every single day. At the top, on the cardboard binding were the notebook titles - one for her young son, her home, her husband, her pets, etc. She'd stack them up and carry them with her to meetings and back home at the end of the day. I remember feeling overwhelmed just looking at her lists. "Maggie, how can help you? You have SO much going on," I'd say. "Well, I know it's not part of your job but can you research excavation kits for my son's birthday party? I'm not sure how I'm going to get about buying them by the end of the day? Can you also look for construction hats that all the kids can wear?" Her blackberry buzzed and she jumped up. Come on she said, we're going to the West Wing now.
My little 21 year old self looked up to her. I remember seeing her cry because she missed her son's school event. I remember respecting her and feeling a little bit sorry for her too. Her plate looked so full and yet I envied it. I wanted to be like her someday. How she did it, I'll never know, but I can guess now that she didn't really do it all. I never truly understood. Until now.
This week out of the blue, I found myself thinking about Maggie. As I sat at my own kitchen table, writing out lists, I thought of her yellow notebooks. Man, sometimes writing things down just feels so necessary and so good. I get it now. Sure, I don't report to the leader of our country. In fact, in many ways I'm my own boss. And yet, it's still so challenging. How do you manage your time when so often your time is dictated by things out of your control? Your children. Your family. They need you. But so does your business. And you need to work to help support your family. The circle goes round and round and round.
This week was Grayson's first week of "real" school. He's in a K1 (that's pre-kindergarten) at Harvard Kent which is a Boston Public School. The school hours are 9:30am - 4:00pm. Quite the change from his previous nursery school which he attended there days a week for only four hours a day. I advocated for Grayson to get into this school. Hoped, prayed, wished on a shooting star - you name it. As a family we wanted this. And it happened. I was excited about the idea of all this 'extra' time I'd have on my hands. But I wasn't prepared for the transition. Not at all.
What I wasn't ready for was how much of my mental energy would be spent on this transition. The past four days have felt like four hundred and they have been devoted almost entirely to Grayson. I literally do not have the gusto to think about work, or much else.
After his first day, Grayson came home sharing that he was afraid of the school cafeteria and that he didn't want to go back. It was too loud. There were too many people. VERY rational fears for a 4 year old. The next morning this turned into him not wanting to go to school. He was visibly terrified. I walked him in, peeling his tiny fingers from the doorframe and dragged him into the class. Thankfully a little friend asked him to play and off he went. He was okay, but I worried all day. When I picked him up at the end of day two he was happy. All was good. My mama heart felt relieved. That is until the morning of day three. On this morning my husband was going to bring Grayson in because I was supposed to take Max to fish school. Grayson was crying that he didn't want to go again. I left for the ferry and was hoping Ryan would be okay to handle it. Then I got a call while we were on the boat. Grayson wouldn't go into the classroom and was screaming in the parking lot. My husband was frustrated and wanted me to talk to him. "I'm literally on a boat in the middle of the water. There's nothing I can do Ryan!" The phone call didn't end well. That afternoon I emailed the teacher to check in. She told me Grayson was sad for about five minutes and then was good. He was having a great day. Pick up was normal. He was happy again. I was tired.
On the morning of day 4 I gave Grayson a tiny, smooth rock. On the rock I drew a very small heart. This is a worry rock, I told him. When you feel worried, rub the rock. Its magic will take in all the worries from your body and hold them tightly so that you can feel better. Keep the rock in your pocket so it stays safe. Don't let anyone else see it. His tiny hand grabbed the rock and with those big, nervous eyes he said OK. We walked hand in hand to school.
"Do you think your teacher likes the Greatest Showman? Do you think that today you will read a story? He didn't answer or look at me. "Do you know that Mommy worries too?" He finally looked up. Do you have a worry rock Mom, he asked? Yes, I said. Yes I do. Even Moms worry I told him, but we do the best that we can, because that's all we can do. And every day we figure things out and it gets a little bit easier. "That makes sense," he said.
Maggie was doing the best she could do. So am I. And so are you. We can make our lists but they don't always win. And I'm going to go ahead and say that's okay. Some weeks are for checking things off and some are for holding little hands tightly. No one has it all figured out. Behind every perfect picture is a worry, a stress, a fear or a very tired person. It's important to remember that when you feel like you can't keep up, when your lists are too long or when you are just plain exhausted and can't try any harder…. that we can't do it all. We aren't supposed to. That stuff is for story book super heroes and this my friends is real life. All that other stuff can wait. Walk outside. Find a rock. Draw a tiny heart on it and put it in your pocket. Hold it when you need to. We are never too old, too busy, too clever or too cool for what matters the most. Our loved ones.

Encaustic: Three Artists Meet - August 8th- 22nd
Jill Cucci Smith, Brenda Howell, and Sandra Koberlein
Hosted @ DVAA, Gallery 2
Jill Cucci Smith is best known for her poetically layered, mixed media work. Her materials are vast and often embedded with an encaustic medium. Hidden behind thread, words, paper and wax lies her life's documentation and experiences. A middle school art teacher, owner and director of a small art school in upper Township, N.J, Jill has degrees from Montclair University and The University of the Arts. She is currently editing her first book, "Understanding Art, a Short Guide Through a Big Picture".
Brenda Howell is an artist who has since childhood been drawn to color and texture. She desires to produce beauty but not in the conventional sense. Beeswax, pigment and heat combined with found materials - imperfect, discarded, unrefined - all draw the viewer deeper into her paintings. Her encaustic mixed media work blurs the line between 2D and 3D, creating a satisfying tension. Howell has paintings in both public and private collections. She lives and maintains a studio in Elkins Park, PA.
Sandra Koberlein is an encaustic artist and an artist educator. From the first time she experienced painting with encaustic, she has never looked back to her original roots as a graphic designer. She paints with a true passion in the process of layering and embedding materials to be explored by the viewer. Sandra approaches her paintings with an appreciation of the process the honey bees performed to create the molten wax she paints with. She exhibits her encaustic paintings, monoprints and constructions in competitive galleries throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania. She is a certified encaustic instructor for R&F Handmade Paints in Kingston, NY. Sandra teaches workshops in her studio in Woodstown, NJ.

Been working on this Howard Pyle master study for a few days in my spare time, I think I'm gonna leave it for a while. There's some unfinished areas, but I'm happy with it. I LOVE the colors in Howard Pyle paintings, it's hard to find those happy accidents when you're working digitally, it's like we have too much control. This is why I've always liked the palette feature in corel painter, I kind of wish photoshop had something like it, it allows for random color mixing, and discovery of new colors.

More master study progress pics!
I know, it's another one, and it doesn't help that I've been working on this slowly. I'm also doing one of my kids book spreads and I designed a coin for a military friend of mine. It's been a surprisingly productive week considering I also find myself trying to chaperone my son's Battle of the Books team. Crazy life. Good life, but crazy life.
There are actually 3 other designs for the coin but I like this one the most. I don't think he's gonna pick this one though, as it doesn't have many of the images associated with his command.

Architecture in Progress, on Instagram
We love it when our clients document the construction process of the homes we've designed, especially when they are outside of Washington, DC, where our offices are located. It's even better when they post their photos on social media, as our clients Angela and Dan Shaeffer in Salt Lake City have done: They've set up an Instagram account dedicated to the evolution of their new home in the shadow of Mount Olympus:
The account is called At Home on Haven, and the profile picture is the model we built for the house:
The house will be home to a family of six in addition to many extended family members (Angela is one of six siblings, Dan is one of four) who visit frequently. "Utah's a gathering place for them to come back home. We are the hosts," Angela says. Plus, with four kids who constantly have friends over, "We have guests here every single weekend."
Here is our latest rendering of what the home will look like when it's complete:
A bird's-eye elevation shows how the house nestles into this wooded property, which has a stream and a river running through it.
A gallery leading past the garage bridges the stream to a guesthouse overlooking the river. Here's the stream today:
And the river, which is full during the spring melt-off:
The outdoor spaces include a pool, poolhouse and tennis court linked by expansive terraces. The Tennessee-based landscape architecture firm Kaiser Trabue is orchestrating the landscaping, while The Biltmore Company of Salt Lake City is building the house and renovating the guesthouse (which was the main structure on the property when the Shaeffers purchased it).
We asked Angela for her perspective on this project:
How did you find this property?
We were remodeling our current home about two years ago, but as we finished the remodel, a lot came for sale in a beautiful neighborhood with lots of tall trees. It was our dream lot, and we couldn't pass it up.
You don't find too many traditional designs like this Colonial Revival out West. What drew you to this style?
We've lived in Dallas, Chicago, New York and Los Angeles. Dan is from New Mexico and I grew up in Utah. We've had a chance to live in so many beautiful places and enjoy a variety of home styles, but it was during our time back east that we fell in love with traditional. Now that we're here to stay (and ski!) in Utah, this wooded lot felt a bit like back east and was perfect for our traditional, forever home.
Because you'll be here forever, what were your space requirements?
We designed it with the future in mind. We wanted bedrooms with their own bathrooms, so when the kids come home to visit once they're grown, they can come back with their families. We also have a family room, a recreation area over the garage, and more in the basement. Barnes Vanze was laughing—"we need another family room here, and another family room here…"—In our area, on Friday nights the kids bring home groups of friends, and everyone needs a place to hang out. We also needed a dining room big enough for the holidays, so everyone can gather in one room.
What's it been like to work with architects long distance?
The architectural portion of it hasn't been difficult at all. They came for a site visit in the beginning and then again last spring, and Wayne [Adams] came out for a day trip to talk to the contractors and answer questions. We've gone to DC several times as well to talk in person so between those visits, conference calls and lots and lots of e-mails, it's gone so smoothly. We also really trust our contractor. This has turned from that model to the actual, real thing!

In honor of Father's Day, I wanted to reflect on one of the greatest lessons my dad has taught me...how to love and sacrifice for my children. I was essentially raised by my father. My parents divorced when I was young. My dad got full custody of me because he was retired military and had more time to devote to my care. Being an only child for a long while, I will admit that I got spoiled. He made me his life. But it wasn't the material things that stand out to me...it was the time and effort that he put into making me feel special. I remember spending lots of quality time together playing games, roller-skating, playing Nintendo, taking road trips, and even just watching TV. As a child he would play the piano for me at night as I was falling asleep, always taking "requests" of my favorite songs. He would also do little things to let me know he was thinking of me such as preparing my favorite foods or scraping the windshield of my car during the winter before school. I always knew that I was a priority to him. Picturing a loving God has never been a problem for me, because I know what it's like to bask in a father's love.
And still today my dad sacrifices his time to come up to visit, baby-sit his grandsons who adore their "Papa Joe", and help out with projects around our house. Just this past week he came up and allowed Jeremy and I to escape overnight for our anniversary...and even gave us the money to do so!
I may not have the luxury of being able to focus all my love and attention on one person, but I certainly hope that enough of my dad has rubbed off on me that my husband and children will always be able to feel the love I have for them and know that they are my priority.
Thank you , Dad, for being such a great example and for loving me even when I haven't been easy to love. Happy Fathers Day! I love you.

National Service Impact
On Monday, March 27th, Senator Whitehouse, Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza, Providence Schools Superintendent Chris Maher, Serve Rhode Island and RI AmeriCorps programs met at Roger Williams Middle School to discuss the state of AmeriCorps and the importance of national service for education.
If the national AmeriCorps budget is eliminated under the President's proposed federal budget, Rhode Island will lose more than $5 million and 3,000 students will not receive attendance, reading, and math support. AmeriCorps in Rhode Island is part of a national network that involves more than 80,000 Americans each year in service projects in education, the environment, public safety and other areas.

The wrapper of this Cubanacan Soneros Habano Claro is a light brown, with minimal veins, clean seams and a fair amount of fine toothiness. The length of the cigar feels perfectly rolled and the overall construction looks great. That's honestly all I know to start this cigar, so I'm ready to get to the good part.
Soneros Habano Claro by Cubanacan
Size: 5.5 x 60
Vitola: Torpedo
Wrapper: Ecuador
Binder: Ecuador
Filler: Nicaragua
Cigars Smoked for this Review: One
Price Point: $8.75
Cigar Purchased: Samples
Quick Note: For this review I used the CF rating system. You can view it in detail here.
The aroma off the wrapper is pleasantly strong. The prominent scent is a crisp tobacco and hay note with an apple-like sweetness to it. There is also an aromatic, sweet cedar note, which combines with the previous notes to create a wonderful bouquet. The cold draw confirms these aromas, with a subtle dried apple flavor, hay and cedar notes. There is also a bit of white pepper spice present, which is making a great flavor combo with the fruit sweetness.
The first few puffs of the Sonorous Habano Claro are very smooth and have a sweet hay flavor. But after that the spice really picks up. I can detect some of the sweet, dried fruit notes on the finish, but the white pepper spice is really dominating this third. The sweetness all but disappears by the end of this third and the main profile is a mildly spicy hay & tobacco note. The burn was somewhat wavy, but never needed any corrections. There was quite a bit of smoke too, and the ash was firm.
The second third continues many of the profile properties from the first. There are still some hay and white pepper notes, but now there is a toasty, nuttiness that has become the main profile note. The finish is on the dry side and tastes of dry wood. All very pleasant tasting. Hiding in all this, and making occasional appearances on the tongue, is a fruit note. This time it is more of a tropical fruit, as opposed to the apple note from the beginning.
The ending of this Sonorous Habano Claro brings in a thick, woody creaminess. The finish is still dry, with a very mild amount of white pepper spice. It's the creaminess in this third that really shines though. There is a nice even burn, that leaves a well-formed and firm ash. It also produces a nice, thick white stream of smoke. Lovely.
Final thoughts? This is a very solid cigar. Great construction and complex medium strength/body, kept me interested the whole time. I smoked this cigar in the morning, which I think it worked just fine for, but it would probably be even better for an afternoon cigar.

In this digital age, you can hardly glance at a tech blog without seeing a new article touting "big data" − and with good reason. With so much data at our fingertips, we are able to make more accurate predictions and discover new insights by examining data in ways that had never been possible before, with the potential to change how business and organizations fundamentally work.
However, a paper titled "Google Flu Trends Still Appears Sick" was published in the Social Science Research Network recently. This paper outlines the shortcomings of the Google Flu Trends algorithms, which is one of the most touted case studies on big data analytics, calling the results "discouraging."
I also discovered quite a few articles and blog posts commenting on the reliability of Google Flu Trends, and in a more general sense, questioning the boundless hype surrounding big data analytics. While the issue of transparency in methods and repeatability are certainly concerns, I was left with a more basic question.
"How can we trust any of these so-called 'answers' derived from big data analysis? What if the correlations we rely upon to make decisions are simply coincidences?" I thought. So I turned to Dave Cieslak (pictured), our Senior Data Scientist, demanding answers.
"Think about it," he said in response, "if you start looking at large enough sets of data, statistically you're going to start seeing lots of correlations, if only by chance. You can put data through an algorithm, but the output doesn't tell you the whole story. You need someone to look at it with a discerning eye and actually translate it into something you can use."
And that's when I realized that I needed to refine my thinking. It's not just about the data. No, it's when smart, innovative data scientists carefully study the results, and come to conclusions based on their knowledge and experience with data analytics.
It's like discovering ancient hieroglyphics on a piece of papyrus; even after de-coding it with the Rosetta Stone, you still need an expert to help you understand the context of the words and analyze the deeper meaning. A good data scientist not only helps you decipher your data, but help you get the most from the answers it provides.
That's why it's important to work with experienced data scientists you can trust. They can focus on finding the answers that are important to you and that will have the biggest impact on your business practices. After all, it's not just the data; it's having those experts in your corner, helping you make the most of it.


text: I recently came across a posting for some insight on my life, after some consideration I decided to give it a try. Words cannot express how blown away I was. I received an amazing reading which was on point with my past, present and hopefully the future as well. Ricky was able to give me concrete information right down to dates! I'm impressed with the reading as well as giving me a sense on peace on some current situations. As I'm sure there are sceptics out there and of course the weary on dealing with someone thru social media, however what is social media for right? I can assure you he is genuine and very very accurate. I was pleasantly surprised at how through he was in my reading and will most certainly be in contact with him again! Thank you Ricky, your amazing! ☺
