BROCHURES & starter GUIDES
Something to really be aware of when purchasing brochures, starter guides and material for classes is to look for materials that are FDA compliant. There are many companies out there that are still selling non-compliant materials and you don't want that for your business.
One of our favorite guides is the brand new Happy Oiler Handbook. It is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL, 150 pages packed full of information and they are FDA compliant. It is such a valuable resource for your members. To get your multi-pack and a quick peek inside click HERE.
Some independent publishing companies that sell compliant brochures and starter guides are Oil Revolution Designs and KRE Publishing.
We are beyond blessed by our Happy Oiler team! Our uplines, downlines and crosslines have some major skills and generously share their talents with us. They give us free access to graphics and images that they have created themselves, for us to use. You are welcome to access them HERE. Please be respectful and thankful to these people and make sure to honor their work by not adding any of your own text, unless including your member number or website. Also, please do not re-edit by adding any instagram or facebook filters.
There are many options for business cards out there. If you are looking for ideas, type in "business cards" in the search box in any of the business groups and lots of inspiration will pop up. You can find official Young Living logos to use in the Business Center and can use photos from the Happy Oils business resource folder or the official Young Living Flkr page.
As your your downline grows, you will definitely want to check out this app! It estimates your paycheck (and it's pretty darn accurate!), informs you of your downline's rank advancements, enrollments and even when items go in and out of stock! There is a small monthly subscription fee, but those of us who have it feel is WAY worth it! Visit https://www.oilytools.com for more information.
Another great tool to help you build your downline is the ITOVI nutrition tracker. It is a little device that you hold in your hand that sends electrical frequencies to your body. It then measures your bodies responses to those frequencies and gives you a personal report. It connects to your smart phone or tablet via bluetooth so you can easily view and then email or message reports to the person you are scanning. Watch the video below for an explantation on how it works! The ITOVI works on a referral system, so be sure to contact your upline to ask for their referral number if you are considering one for your business.

Perhaps there was a bit too much giggling coming from their room. Perhaps I was naive to think their laughter was the result of tickles and other sorts of friendly sibling play. Perhaps I should have peeked into the room just a few moments earlier than I did.
Because as much fun as they were having, and as funny {and cute} as it was, there is a purposeful use for diaper cream and use as a hair styling product is not it. You see, the purpose of diaper cream is to block moisture from the skin--it's really quite helpful to keep a rash at bay. However, it also means that it is nearly impossible to wash out of hair. It's like it was just sitting on top of Easton's head as he sat in the bathtub, laughing at my feeble attempts to remove it with baby shampoo and a comb. And although it was a battle, I do proudly proclaim I won. That little boy is now sleeping soundly with a clean head of hair. It only took about 30 minutes and 20 rounds of shampoo to accomplish.
It was one of those moments when I just had to laugh, grab my camera and take a picture because this is one of those "someday it'll be funny" sort of things; maybe not today, but someday. Like, maybe tomorrow.

REVIEW | The BFG
In the world of cinema, I option to see films at the theater any possible time that I can, as the theater offers the most purest form of escapism I can imagine. As the lights go dim, and trailers play, you prepare yourself for whatever is to come. Then, just as you have finished mulling over what films you are (or are not) going to see next month, the lights completely extinguish. It's just you, the screen, a projector, and the creative world that plays out before you. A great film under the spell of a great director, cast, and crew, should eloquently transport you, and whisk you away to some other borderline-ethereal experience. This is pure escapism.
When cinema works best, be it indie films or the latest blockbuster fare, these experiences are when I feel most comfortable and at peace. A great film experience can, change a life. I hope and trust the world of filmmaking will continue to surprise me with experiences like these. Moments where all real-life responsibilities disappear; all safeguards turn off; and I can be encapsulated by the world that someone else has created, and now wishes to showcase.
I am, and always have been, a die-hard Steven Spielberg fan. In the world of filmmaking, this is one man who has continued to show excellency and utmost professionalism in his ability to do all that I have mentioned above. I attribute an unheard of level of respect to him for making my favorite film of all time, Jurassic Park. He and his crew brought to life a world that I have always wanted to be real. I live and breath the essence of Jurassic Park. It is my life-force, and has been since I was a toddler. I can name every character, quote every scene, and make the exact same sound effects whenever they happen. I can imagine and describe every costume, set design, and brilliant shot of the entire film. And yet, every single time I watch it, I still watch it with new eyes. It is pure escapism for me.
So, as Spielberg has encroached over 40 years of filmmaking, and having presented very unusual artistic patterns over said years (some understated highs, some notable lows), it absolutely pains me to say what I am about to say:
The BFG may be Spielberg's worst film to date.
A few excellent performances from an incredible cast, and another beautiful score from John Williams, cannot save the film from: a horrendously sporadic screenplay; questionable uses of CGI; and some of the most jarring tonal inconsistencies I have ever seen before.
Ugh... I hate drawing this comparison to a notoriously worse film, but have you ever seen Nothing but Trouble, the Dan Akyroyd fever dream film? It's similar in execution.
The film, based off of Roald Dahl's classic children's novel of the same name, follows Sophie, an orphan girl, who accidentally gets swept up into the magical world of giants in a nearby dimension. When she befriends a Big Friendly Giant, the two must help each other in stopping a series of other evil giants who are kidnapping and eating children in London.
The film does follow the novel pretty closely. However, therein lies the first initial problem. It shouldn't. Or, at least it should make a decision between the following two options. Either A: Make a live-action adaptation, but divert from the novel on plot-points that are going to be or look or feel ridiculous in live action, OR B Make a completely animated film in the style of Adventures of Tintin, and tell the story as it is. The final "finished" film is somewhere dangerously in the middle, and begs for clarity. By being so oddly in the middle, the more outrageous scenes come off as odd when compared to the grounded reality scenes, and the grounded reality scenes come off as outlandish to the more outrageous scenes.
It's a strange Catch-22 that leaves the audience perturbed and tired. Furthermore, it is distracting, and removes the excuse of "this is a movie meant for children." How can it be meant for children, when an adult can't make heads or tails out of how to interpret the laughable plot? Spielberg's critically-hazed children's film Hook is more tonally consistent and thought-out than this mess.
This film suffers from impeccably abhorrent tonal inconsistencies, for which I mostly blame the screenwriter, Melissa Mathison, who is famed for penning the eloquent masterpiece E.T. The Extra Terrestrial. A shame that she returns to the foray with this incoherent mess. Per example, a scene in which the evil giants suspect that the BFG is harboring Sophie, they decide to scour through his abode in search of her. The music and scene play out fairly slapsticky, which is not a genre or tone that had been presented thus far in the film towards the grander scheme of the story. More so, in tandem with this scene is a moment where Sophie discovers the lost chambers of a deceased boy who used to live with the BFG. It is supposed to be this quiet moment of discovery for her, but it is lost with the gigantic "funny" mess that is the moment with the giants.
How can an audience know how or what to feel, when it is being simultaneously fed two different emotions, both so jarringly different than the other?
Scenes like these are all over the place, and range in tonal variations. Some scenes ask the audience to jump back and forth between awe and discovery, then to nightmarish horror. Some ask the audience to be fearful, and then to laugh, all in a matter of seconds. These are things that I would assume a master like Spielberg could pull off if need be, but with a story that doesn't need these emotional competitions, I don't see the point of them.
What doesn't help is that the scenes are edited so drastically close in succession to each other, as well as the pacing being either fast or drawn out. This leaves little time (or ample time) to mull over what exactly happened in the scenes, but unfortunately, to the point of questioning why they are even important. I, for one, found frequent Spielberg editor, Michael Kahn, to be at his absolute worst with this film, as scenes bounced to and fro from each other, with little to no precedent.
There are no stakes or goals throughout, or at least until some character makes one up. And then, when the characters must focus on the goal, it is quickly dealt with, just in time for some other nonsensical scene to appear. The best this film has to offer are the performances and the score. The film features a cast of A-List actors, all of which are mostly performing in motion-capture. Mark Rylance, who previously performed in Spielberg's more recent venture, "Bridge of Spies" (a film I was also unpleasantly disappointed by), turns in an excellent performance as the titular character. Joined at his side is Ruby Barnhill in her feature film debut, and she absolutely steals the show, delivering a very emotional performance throughout. In supporting roles is an absolutely stellar cast, ranging from Bill Hader, Jemaine Clements, and Rebecca Hall. In an utterly useless role as an assistant for the Queen of England is one of my favorite actors of the last decade, Rafe Spall (if you have not seen him in Black Mirror's White Christmas, do so immediately). He is reduced to a minute character with little to do in the film. He, unfortunately, mostly stands around during the most ridiculous segment of the film, in which Sophie convinces the Queen of England to use military force against the giants in Giant Country.
Finally, the score. John Williams returns to the mantle after taking a hiatus from Bridge of Spies and delivers another beautiful modern-Spielbergian score, reminiscent of his work in A.I. Artificial Intelligence which is arguably some of his best work to date. I found myself tearing up a little just at the score alone. Literally. Just the score. Definitely not the film.
Aside from these two aspects, there really isn't much more to discuss. The cinematography is occasionally beautiful, but distracting more often than not. The special effects were fairly well done, but also distracting at times. The negatives absolutely outweigh the positives. Horrendous screenplay, tonal issues everywhere, and borderline experimental editing throughout ultimately leave for a tiring film. As a Spielberg fan, I have seen him venture from non-stop hit after hit through multiple decades (1970s through 1998), on to a series of films showcasing a new, personal, artistic discovery (2001 to 2005) and most recently to a series of unusual ventures that seem to represent a desire for expression. And I will always be an ardent fan of what comes next.
But with The BFG I feel he has made his worst to date, and I found that I could not escape to this abhorrent world he showcased.

That's it then, my choose and book saga is over and so far, so good. Have no issues with my care whilst in hospital, from the consultant to the physio to the theatre porter, they were all lovely. Well, the anaesthetist could do with better people skills, but that does seem to be a fairly common element within that speciality, so I wouldn't hold that against him. I was well looked after.
To date my recovery appears to be progressing well, certainly much better than last time. I'm taking things very easy, the physio advised me not to lift anything heavier than a full kettle so I had requested that none of the grandchildren come around for the first week, I wouldn't be able not to pick them up. Someone decided to ignore me though, so Izzy came round yesterday with her Mummy who had offered to run the hoover round. All went well until I went for a lie down, Izzy came with me. I laid on the bed whilst Iz combed my hair, stuck the baby dolls bottle my mouth and kept up a continuous stream of toddler chat but then she picked up the electric guitar and that's when I protested, she ignored me so I called her Mummy to remove the aspiring Eric Clapton, not a happy bunny, she may never play the guitar for me again (fingers crossed).
This not picking anything up is causing Hubby to have to take on the plant watering and he is now regretting encouraging me to create quite so many hanging baskets and pots, with this hot weather he is having to be very diligent with the watering cans. Being resourceful he has managed to cut down the time spent filling watering cans from the butts by using the water from the family-sized paddling pool. It hadn't been' emptied after the 'Welcome Joshua to the family' barbecue we had on Sunday. Good plan really as it's not being wasteful with water and also the plants appreciate water which is warm rather than ice cold.
One of my pots which I planted with 'rejects' from a DIY store. Really looking forward to the orange fushias flowering.
The lily in my pond hasn't flowered for at least 5 years. The fish may have died but the lily is thriving.

It has meant I've decided not to get involved with the Bloggers Quilt Festival. I have nothing new or wowy to share with everyone. I've also decided not to get involved with the SMS give away. Although I've been entering frantically when I see give aways from blogs I follow. It didn't really register it was on my radar until too late and to be honest last time I did participate I decided, on the advice given by SMS, to not request people became a follower for extra entries. Disappointingly, despite getting a tonne of comments from new people, none of them appeared to like the blog enough to stay. Which made me think at the moment I'd rather have give aways for regular readers rather than passers by. Talking of which my bloggy anniversary comes up next month and that's an excuse for a give away then if ever I saw one!
On Saturday, despite feeling pretty grotty I managed lunch out with a friend followed by the theatre. It was a lovely day out and the cast of Ladies in Lavender were fab, especially the two leads: Belinda Lang and Hayley Mills. I was a little bit star struck not believing I was sat about 10 feet away from the stage where Hayley Mills was performing.

And instead of being happy and feeling loved, I have honestly never felt more lonely in my entire life.My chest feels like it's being squeezed by a vice grip and could shatter into a million pieces at any second. I don't think my little heart can take another goodbye.Fear and sadness are a heavy weight to bear.The bonfire has burnt out and the party guests have all gone home. And I'm lying here on my bed sobbing like a fool. My childhood is officially over, and the unknown is officially here, and I don't know how i'm going to handle it.I'm not ready. But I have to be.My God, I just keep hoping that I've made the right decision. Because right now, it sure as hell doesn't feel like it.

Create a Trust constituent
Make sure you have a constituent type of "Trust" (this article assumes that you have, admins can set these up and change them if required in Settings). You may also want to create another constituent for Foundations. This can be used in reporting to analyse them as separate income streams.
Add a new Trust constituent using the orange Add button, and select constituent type Trust.
Add any contact details you wish to record, e.g. a main contact, address, email and phone number.
You can add a reference to the funder's website in the box headed 'Social'
Use Connections to add any links, for example if one of your Trustees or supporters has a connection with the Trust (Connection types may need to be set up by an admin first in Settings).
Using the orange Manage button, choose 'Add Trust info', to record additional information about the Trust on the 'Profile' tab as follows:
- Capacity, propensity and connection scores (1 to 5) can be used to indicate, for example, the size of the Trust (capacity), the closeness of fit with the charity's cause (propensity), and the closeness of the relationship you have with the Trust (connection)
- You can define what these scores represent within your organisation, the combination of the three scores can help with indicating best-fit funders and prioritising applications
- Funding deadline – you can show which months applications are considered by Trustees
- Total annual giving, typical gift size and suggested ask amount can be used to indicate what level of funding is available and what you want to ask for
- The tags in Funding Preferences and Funding Locations can be configured by admins in using Settings, and used to identify subject and areas of interest for the Trust's grant making
- Use the text box Research Notes to add any additional information, such as more detail on funding criteria, the application process, specific deadlines etc.

Circa 1850s: Standing 14 1/2" in height, this meaty four gallon storage jar was maufactured by John Weaver of Beaver County, Pennsylvania. Stoneware manufactured in Beaver County is often boldly decorated, and this handsome jar's cobalt design, which approximates grapevines, is a stunning and imaginative example of the work done by the decorators at Mr. Weaver's pottery works. One should note that Weaver's stoneware is extremely shiny. This is because decorators in this shop -- and elsewhere in Beaver County, to be sure -- first covered the stoneware with a gray slip as to mask the dull red clay of the region before they brushed cobalt onto the pieces and fired them in the kiln. In other words, there are two layers of slip on Weaver's salt-glazed pottery, and this process made the stoneware more attractive and thus more marketable in its day. This gorgeous piece of antique American stoneware is in excellnet condition with one minor chip on the back of the lip and some roughness on one handle -- no other chips, cracks, or repairs. The jar's four gallon size gives the piece extra punch and will make it stand out in any fine collection of 19th centruy American crockery or early American country antiques.

Intro What Is Affiliate Marketing And How Does It Work
When you're starting a project, no matter what Kind, there are always dangers that will definitely appear and it is perfectly normal to feel fearful about them after all, you do not wish to make mistakes and eliminate money, time and effort with something that is probably only a scam. Like with most kinds of products, it's something that can happen with digital marketing products also, so we're here to assist you with it. If you're trying to grow as a digital marketer, it is very possible that you have heard of Digital Genius Lab (DGL), an organization designed to assist you realize your potential in the specialty. But this really is a platform that some people today suspect to be scammy, while others deem it reliable. So here we're going to provide a review of Digital Genius Lab and supply all of the details that you should know to assist you with your decision. Are you prepared? Let's go. What Is Affiliate Marketing And How Does It Work
Is Digital Genius Lab a Deception?
This is one of the most important things to Discuss If it comes to Digital Genius Lab and it is the topic you are probably going to find information about on google regarding this organization. According to several reviews about the business, they seem to link into an alleged scam called Team Phoenix Marketing, which appears to be created by the very same folks that made Digital Genius Lab. But actually, DGL was formed following the conclusion of Team Phoenix Marketing, which makes things a little bit more questionable. It is also considered by several individuals who tried to utilize both organizations that the emails they received were almost identical in style and in content. This lends power to the theory that Team Phoenix and DGL are one in the same. But in the close of the afternoon, this might have been a very simple and benign business name change. They happen all the time, after all. There are lots of reviews on google on how Digital Genius Lab works and they change in favorability. Some may just be competitors attempting to obtain an upper hand by bending the truth, and others may be honest, or at least, intended to be fair. However, some reviews might be skewed by bias and by a person's inability to follow through with this program. It is difficult to say.
Here are some issues their introductory webinar will go over:
· DGL is focused on assisting you to reach your dreams and living a much better lifestyle.
· The founder of DGL, Sean Malone, shares his previous struggles in electronic advertising.
· Explains the Ability of Facebook Marketing and also how you can use it to grow your company
· A few of their gains are likely to charity.
· 90% Done-for-you promoting system.
· The supportive online community of entrepreneurs a part of DGL
· $99 a month for DGL's training.
Whether you think DGL is for you personally, it is Interesting to see the webinar, therefore I'd recommend doing that at the very least, to learn more.
In contrast to the more negative and skeptical Reviews, in addition, there are positive testimonies. There are several users that discovered Digital Genius Lab's methods to be quite helpful. DGL offers two training modules which are exactly what a few users need in order to progress as digital marketers. Some of the testimonies said This business provided:
· A much better understanding of how affiliate marketing works.
· Various strategies, strategies and skills which you can apply to be more effective in your enterprise.
· Enlightenment about ways to advance to earn enough money by yourself without needing a traditional 9-5 job.
· Assistance and support in their group of specialists in cases of emergency or situations of a similar ilk.
Total, DGL is a clear example of a company That will leave anyone to ponder whether it's right for them: Many people think they are a scammy organization as well as other men and women think that they are an exceedingly beneficial organization.
What Will you learn as user?
The assumption of Digital Genius Lab is to provide Assistance to all those individuals who are seeking to earn a livelihood in the world of digital advertising, particularly in regards to functioning in affiliate marketing. So this business offers a number of the following solutions for you in their coaching:
· General knowledge about how affiliate marketing works – Prior to going on about the more detailed components of affiliate marketing, Digital Genius Lab concentrates on describing the fundamental elements of it so that you could have a better grasp of affiliate marketing.
· Step by step advice – Some of the most difficult things to do if you are starting in any professional field is not to make mistakes and also to understand the fundamentals so that you may do well. DGL highlights that they will offer guidance and support to clear any doubts you may have, as well as provide knowledge for one to succeed.
· Many modules – This is another important element to take into consideration when talking Digital Genius Lab: they provide nine different modules which cover all the components they consider important with regards to affiliate marketing and the digital advertising and marketing world as a whole. Each succeeding module raises the problem of this content and it is made in a manner that it is possible to understand everything coherently.
What Does Digital Genius Lab Boost?
Overall, what Digital Genius Lab is trying to Advertise Is a specific lifestyle: A lifestyle which kisses the 9-5 goodbye and implores Digital Geniuses (associates of DGL) to live life to the fullest and in their terms. Sean Malone's goal is to offer enough knowledge to his trainees so that they could flourish in the world of affiliate marketing, and thus they could live the life they have always wanted. Nowadays we see far more folks interested in the world of digital marketing and they want to make a dwelling in a less conventional fashion; tasks from nine am to five pm have become less and less common these days and working on the internet is growing much simpler and substantial for people, therefore there's certainly an audience there, and that's something worth taking into account.
Digital Genius Lab has a very solid premise and it is Very simple to comprehend why there are a lot of people interested in what they Need to offer: everybody which has a certain level of interest in studying About affiliate marketing would want to work with an organization that's so Adamant that their methods and system will extend a fantastic income In a comparatively short-term manner. Having said that, this really is an organization Whose track record is definitely not the best from all accounts and that is Something that you should always take into account when making your Conclusion: We are referring to a controversial organization that's done Wonders for some people, rather than so much for others. Although it's hard to say If the neigh sayers are simply people that weren't determined enough to employ DGL methods persistently and gave up too early. In Regards to DGL's Proposal, it's a very interesting project and it is often very helpful for those That are starting as professionals in the business of affiliate marketing, but It's also not reliable by all reviews and testimonies, so that is something Certainly worth paying attention .

Movie Review – 'Drive'
Written by J.T. Johnson
Director Nicolas Winding Refn, a filmmaker who has given audiences films such as his "Pusher" trilogy, "Bronson", and "Valhalla Rising" has now given audiences what is arguably one of the best films of the year. First off, "Drive" is not an action-packed, Michael Bay inspired movie. That is a surprisingly breath of fresh air.
It tells the story of a man (Ryan Gosling) who is a stuntman by day and a getaway driver by night. He has no name. He is simply the Driver and driving appears to be all that appeals to him. That is, until the audience meets his neighbor, Irene (Carey Mulligan). When he finally gets close to Irene, the Driver not only bonds with her but he also bonds with her young son Benicio (Kaden Leos) as well.
In the meantime, the Driver's boss, Shannon (Bryan Cranston), is trying to build a racecar team. He thinks the Driver is special and convinces crime boss Albert Brooks (Albert Brooks) to donate the funds for the racecar. But soon, Irene's husband Standard (Oscar Isaac) is released and he owes people protection money from when he was locked up. To pay the debt, the criminals want Standard to pull off a heist.
After threatening Irene and Benicio, the Driver decides to help Standard with the heist as long as Irene and Benicio are never threatened again. Of course, the heist goes terribly wrong and the Driver finds himself on a bloody path in an attempt to save the woman he loves once and for all.
The film takes its cue from the likes of Michael Mann's "Collateral" and the immortal classic "Bullitt". The tone and style of the film are influenced not only by Mann's films but also the 1980s with a soundtrack that seems to be ripped straight out of the decade. When the audience sees the shots from inside the front seat of the car with only the Driver's eyes in the rearview, it is obvious that "Bullitt" was a major inspiration for the filmmakers.
It should be noted at this point that the film does not give audiences the action directly. It takes its time and like a brilliantly crafted thriller, scenes build intensity and right before the audience can't take it anymore, the scene explodes into climactic moments of intense action or bloody brutality.
The first five minutes that open the film foreshadow the tone for the rest of the film. The Driver is on a job and instead of just outrunning the police, he also uses L.A.'s tangled web of streets against his pursuers. If someone wants the movie to get straight to the point, then he or she will be disappointed. It's a mood-setting, psychological ride that sets up then executes its scenes perfectly.
Gosling is powerful as the Driver because he embodies the character he is playing. The Driver just wants to drive and is socially challenged. Even the Driver's infatuation with Irene is something new to him and he doesn't quite know what to do. Gosling also helps set the mood every time he clinches his hands around the steering wheel or some other object such as the handle of a hammer. This is exactly what the audience is doing to their armrests.
Another performance of note comes from Brooks as Bernie. Usually, audiences are used to seeing Brooks as a comedian. Here, he is a cold-blooded yet conflicted monster. Bernie knows the simple solution to their problems but thanks to his idiot partner's (Ron Perlman) decisions, there is eventually no turning back. In these types of films, the villain usually has no redeeming factors. The fact that he does care about all the players involved to some degree makes him slightly more sympathetic.
The film could have been an action blockbuster with several car chases and amped up action sequences, but that would have missed the point. Instead, "Drive" turns out to be a superbly executed thriller and ultimately one of the best films of the year.

Whether you're tasked with selling or not, customer success has an impact on expansion opportunities. If your team closes expansion deals regularly, this isn't news to you. Likely, you're already operating in a way that mimics your sales organization. But, what if you don't close deals? How do you demonstrate the impact your customer success team is having on revenue? Here are 4 ways to maximize and communicate your team's impact on expansion opportunities:
Track Early
Unless you work for a very early stage company, your sales team is using a CRM. Get your team seats on that platform, teach them how to use it, and start creating the opportunities that you'll be handing off to sales or account management. If you kick off the opportunity creation process, you'll be able to track the number of opportunities the customer success team creates and follow them through the sales cycle. Train your team to add opportunities to your CRM system as soon as they identify a potential need. Even though this increases the number of opportunities that are lost, those losses provide valuable information about where your products and pricing may need adjustment.
Build Value
Your success team should be able to qualify an opportunity so that they aren't wasting the sales team's time with deals that won't ever pan out. However, the qualification process for existing customers looks very different from what an SDR would do to qualify a prospect. CSMs should be able to ask questions that uncover problems you can solve, determine the impact of those problems on the customer's business, and learn what the customer would value most about your solution. Since the job of a CSM is broader than that of an SDR, they need to be adept at weaving these questions into the conversations they have with customers day-to-day.
Once a CSM determines that a customer has a clear, qualified need they need to hand off the information they have gathered to sales or account management. Again, your CRM solution can be helpful in this area. If you need to, add some fields to the opportunity object that can be used to track things like the customer's pain points, what they value about the solution, their budget and timeline. If the opportunity is large or complex, it is worth taking some time to do a verbal handoff to the rep who will be working on the deal. In addition, be sure to communicate losses or disqualified opportunities to your product team so they understand any solution gaps.
Measure Results
Once you've set up your CRM system, you'll be able to track the tangible impact your team is having on expansion opportunities. You should measure the number of opportunities created, the number handed off to sales, and the number that end up closing. You should also track the revenue that originated from your team. Tracking this information doesn't mean that your sales team doesn't get credit for the work that they do to close these deals. However, it is important that you and your company's leadership team clearly understand the positive impact that customer success is having on expansion revenue.
Maximizing and communicating this impact positions the customer success team as a revenue producer, rather than a cost center. This means your company will be more likely to invest in the people and tools you need to provide customers with an exceptional customer experience.

For the bride-to-be, it can be one of the most difficult decisions she has to make. No, not who to seat at what table. Again, not which color coordinates best with her bridesmaids gowns and the flower arrangements. Not the meal choices (salmon?…or beef?) and not the music to be played during the reception.
When Mike Asked Marielle To Marry Him, She Was Ecstatic
Indeed, as with any large and extended family, the decision regarding who's in and who's out as part of the wedding party can be the beginning of lifelong grudges among otherwise easygoing relatives. This is especially true when it comes to the kids. Who will be the flower girl? How about the ring bearer? And what happens if either of those preschool positions end up messing up the nuptials.
So Was The Class Of Students She Teaches
When Marielle Slagel Keller said "Yes" to her fiancé Mike, she knew the upcoming ceremony would be big. Not just because of the basic guest list. Marielle is a dedicated teacher in Indianapolis and she adores her students. In fact, she considers them family. So you'll never imagine who had to be part of the ceremony? That's right.

In Defense of San Antonio
Y'all know I love a good Texas city shakedown. I've lived in Austin, Houston, and Dallas at this point; and besides writing generally about each place as I've lived there, I recently ranked all three in various categories, doing my best to give you a fair taste of each one.
However, I have since been passionately informed that I am doing the state of Texas an injustice by not including (/generally acknowledging) San Antonio.
Sorry, first of all. Okay? SORRY SAN ANTONIO. It's just that we don't really know each other all that well, and I forget about you, and my only experiences within your city limits — besides Spurs games, hallelujah, amen — were the touristy section of the River Walk and like, one mall. You weren't that great, okay? But it's on me for allowing my sub-18-year-old experiences deter me from giving you a second chance. You deserve it, I'm sure. Besides, the people were rioting for one.
This weekend, I started remedying the situation by spending Saturday in SA. It wasn't nearly enough for an entire city guide or objective ranking (because my rankings are so objective, you know?), but it did give me a taste, and left me wanting more.
With fearless tour guide Jacob Karre in the lead, stop one was the Pearl District, which I promptly fell in love with. Its old-world-meets-new architecture and abundance of trees and flowers and greens made it an instant happy place for this wannabe plant lady.
Between the regular weekend farmer's market and Final Four out-of-towners, the area was buzzing. We ducked in and out of shops, took in the (much less touristy, much prettier and more peaceful) stretch of River Walk alongside it, and I generally just wandered aimlessly around taking photos and happily pointing out dogs and plants I liked.
("THIS IS LITERALLY RAINBOW CHARD," I exclaimed with delight at one point, coming to a screeching halt next to a raised bed overflowing with it. I gestured to the multicolored stems enthusiastically, petting the leaves like they were small pets. "THEY'RE JUST USING IT FOR DECORATION BUT YOU COULD ACTUALLY EAT THIS!")
Local Coffee kept us caffeinated and I'm still thinking about Hot Joy's miso-honey butter fried chicken steam buns. (Think classy, Asian fusion version of a Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit. You didn't know you needed that in your life until now, did you? You're welcome.)
We remembered the Alamo, which, somehow, as a 24-year-old born and raised in Texas, I had never visited myself.
Is it touristy? Yes. Is it kind of underwhelming? Yes. But did it have to be done anyway? As a Texan, also yes. Very important. Glad I got that checked off.
My favorite stop of the day, though, might have been Confluence Park. Newer to the city, apparently, it's one of those little havens that's tucked into an unexpected area and makes you feel miles away from where you actually are. The swooping, sculptural concrete arches make for a dramatic (but not too dramatic somehow — Jacob got a better photo) scene, and the whole park is hemmed in by the river and chock-full of native plants — many part of natural landscape conservation efforts, with I love on the nerdiest level. (Realizing that my favorite parts of San Antonio were decorative chard and Confluence Park's conservation projects? It's fine.)
We were there for a couple of hours, but it could have been all day and I would have been perfectly happy.
I'll throw San Antonio in the rankings once I know it well enough, but for now, just know that I deeply regret my previous omission of it. SA and I have officially (re)started off on a very good foot, and I'm looking forward to exploring it more!
Go Spurs Go.

Hanging Gardens | Black Diamond, WA {Travel + Adventure Photography}
Our very favorite thing since moving to Washington is finding new hikes and beautiful spots for photoshoots. A few weeks ago Michael and I (and Maverick of course) scouted out this gorgeous little hike to Hanging Gardens in Black Diamond, WA. It was such a peaceful, rainy afternoon spent together in our beloved PNW.

"Victoria has been cutting my hair for a few years now and has always done a really great job. And she did a fantastic job again on my wedding day.
Quite apart from the fact that she made my hair look great, which she did, she was the best possible person to have there on the day. She was very cool and professional, working her magic with the very little time she had and making us all feel relaxed while she did it.
She somehow managed to make my usually unruly hair stay in loose curls all day, even after drinking and dancing and all the mayhem that goes with weddings."

MANCHESTER, England — Just when Prime Minister Theresa May of Britain needed a rousing, commanding speech to restore authority over her warring Conservative Party, she endured a nightmare.
First there was the prankster, theatrically handing her a notice that she was fired. Then a persistent cough turned her delivery into a croak that was painful to the ear.
Then there was the falling F.
The letters on the slogan behind her, "Building a Country That Works for Everyone," lost the F, turning "for" into "or."
Ending a four-day party conference on Wednesday dominated by speculation about her fragile leadership, Mrs. May struggled through her address, with the audience periodically giving her protracted applause to allow her time to rest her voice.
She repeatedly drank from a glass of water. The chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond, handed her a cough lozenge. Sometimes she seemed almost reduced to a faltering whisper.
The speech highlighted the problems confronting Mrs. May. Her battle to complete it seemed to some like a metaphor, the set of mishaps overshadowing the messages she hoped would dominate the news.
The Conservative Party conference in Manchester was the first since Mrs. May gambled by calling a general election in June, a political blunder that cost her party its majority. An unexpectedly strong performance from the opposition Labour Party destroyed much of her authority in the process.
Under the left-wing leadership of Jeremy Corbyn, Labour's anti-austerity message struck a chord, particularly with younger voters, who turned out in greater numbers than usual, leaving many Conservative activists in Manchester wondering how to compete.
As the debate about the Conservative Party's future has unfolded at the conference center and beyond, Mrs. May's potential successors have exploited a chance to grab the limelight.
None took that opportunity more ruthlessly than the foreign secretary, Boris Johnson, who has made two interventions undermining Mrs. May's strategy for negotiating Britain's withdrawal from the European Union, known as Brexit.
(Mr. Johnson created a contretemps as well, telling a conference panel that the Libyan coastal city of Surt, a former redoubt of the Islamic State terrorist group, could be "the next Dubai" if the authorities "could just clear the dead bodies away." Critics, including some members of the party, said he should resign.)
While there seems to be no immediate plot to unseat Mrs. May, analysts say that the longest she can expect to remain in her job is until March 2019, when the withdrawal is to take place. The party conference, and this speech in particular, was an opportunity to reassert her authority over a cabinet squabbling over the details of Brexit.
That was not how it turned out. "Before the speech, most people would have bet on her coming out of the conference season alive, although the sharks were already circling," said Tim Bale, professor of politics at Queen Mary, University of London, referring to potential rivals for Mrs. May's job.
"The speech has put blood in the water," he said.
On Wednesday, Mrs. May promised that more affordable homes would be built to address the country's housing crisis. She detailed a cap on energy prices and promised to create a British version of the American dream.
She also apologized to Conservative Party members for having led an election campaign that was "too scripted, too presidential," and spoke only briefly about the divisive issue of Brexit.
But Mrs. May was soon interrupted by a prankster from the audience who handed her a P45 — a form sent to Britons as they leave a job — saying "Boris asked me to give you this." Guards ejected him from the hall.
Though the episode raised some security questions, the police later said that the man, Simon Brodkin, a comedian, had accreditation to attend the conference. That was despite the fact Mr. Brodkin performs as a character called Lee Nelson, whose website mentions pranks including disrupting a news conference by throwing bank notes at Sepp Blatter, the former president of FIFA, the governing body of international soccer.
Mrs. May's colleagues put their best gloss on events, arguing that her performance had illustrated her determination, and that voters would understand and sympathize with her predicament.
Jeremy Hunt, the health secretary, described it as the "ultimate tough gig," but said that "she battled on," and that "what the public will take away from that, curiously, is that sense of duty."
Nevertheless, others expected frustration among Mrs. May's allies that a speech that had been going well until the interruption spiraled out of control, overshadowing announcements that had sought to wrest attention from Mr. Corbyn's agenda.
The biggest of those was the pledge to place limits on energy prices — though there was no detail on how many people it would affect. Some critics complained that the idea conflicted with Mrs. May's broader defense of the free-market economy, which the Conservatives say is threatened by Mr. Corbyn.
For Mrs. May's supporters who watch clips of the speech on television news, her throaty delivery may not be as grating as it was for the audience who heard its entirety.
Certainly, there was support from activists outside the hall, including one party member, Joe Porter, who said that Mrs. May's determination to finish her speech illustrated her "professionalism," adding, "We are all human beings; we all get coughs."
Another party member, Enoch Manto Lieu, said that the episode might help humanize Mrs. May, who has been mocked by critics as "Maybot," a reference to her robotic, scripted answers to questions.
For her part, Mrs. May sought to show some self-deprecating humor by posting a photo of throat medication on Twitter.
There was empathy from some fellow politicians, including Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland's first minister, whose Scottish National Party holds its conference beginning Sunday.
Professor Bale said that it was possible that, should Mrs. May keep her job for longer than expected, she might manage to revive her image — as Mr. Corbyn did after struggling for a significant time after he won his party's leadership. Professor Bale added, however, that he thought it was "too late" for Mrs. May.
For the Conservative politicians who worry about her ability to lead their party to victory against Labour, the prime minister's speech may have confirmed their doubts.
Andrew Neil, a broadcaster and veteran political observer, wrote on Twitter that the "many Tories who firmly believe Mrs. May should never be allowed to fight another election will be immutable on the matter."
Some critics were moved to pity. People were "starting to feel sorry for Theresa May," Humza Yousaf, a minister in the Scottish government and a member of the Scottish National Party, wrote on Twitter.
"That is probably the worst possible position for an elected politician, let alone PM, to be in," he wrote.

Edna Velma Norris 1931-2016
Edna Velma Norris, a long time resident of Springdale, Washington, passed away at her home on October 31, 2016 at the age of 85. Edna was born in Ford, WA on September 27, 1931, the daughter of Wayne and Leona (Stone) Baker.
Edna was raised and attended school in the Springdale area and graduated from Mary Walker High School in Springdale, WA in 1949. Soon after graduation she moved to San Francisco, CA where she became a Certified Dental Assistant. Upon returning home she obtained a job as a Dental Assistant in Chewelah with Dr. Christopherson. On September 22, 1951 she married Floyd Norris in Springdale. For several years they traveled together as Floyd worked at various commercial work sites in the Northwest before purchasing a farm in Springdale. Floyd continued his construction career for several more years and Edna took care of things on the farm, including caring for their three children. As the children grew older, Edna spent a period of time working for the Springdale Post Office as a rural mail carrier. She also did bulk newspaper transportation for a local newspaper. Floyd passed away in 2013 and Edna continued living on the farm.
Throughout the years, Floyd and Edna raised sheep, Border Collie and Great Pyrenees dogs. One of her hobbies was spinning wool into yarn which she then used for knitting. Her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren still wear hats, gloves and other clothing that she knitted. She also took part in supporting all of the family activities, whether it was helping Floyd with 4H or attending the kid's sporting events. For years Edna was an active member of the TOPS Club.
Edna was very capable of completing any challenge or task that presented itself. When faced with something less then desirable, she didn't back down or pass it on to someone else. She had a positive attitude that gave her the ability take care of the needs at hand and continue on with life. She had many family and friends that she loved deeply and that same love was returned to her. She will be greatly missed.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Floyd; parents; brothers, Orville Baker, Eldon Baker, Melvin Baker, Kyle Baker, Gordon Baker.
Edna is survived by her children, Kyle Norris and wife, Donna of Springdale, WA, Kelly Norris and wife, Debbie of Ephrata, WA Debbie Sieverkropp and husband, Bill of Ephrata, WA; 5 grandchildren; 3 great-grandchildren; sister, Vesta Gearheart of Tum Tum, WA.
In honor of Edna's request, there are no services scheduled at this time. If one wishes, memorial contributions may be given to Hospice of Spokane. Please visit the online memorial and sign the guestbook at www.danekasfuneralchapel.com. Danekas Funeral Chapel & Crematory has been entrusted with the arrangements.

The archetypal "Feminine" is back, and She's…"unhappy." From "Me Too," to the trial of Larry Nassar, to the rising refusal of young adults to be defined as either "male" or "female," opting instead for the more neutral pronoun "they," evidence of profound change is all around us. Neumann and Whitmont tell us that consciousness can be conceived as having evolved through stages, beginning the archetypal Great Mother. Several thousand years ago, this feminine consciousness was repressed in the service of the development of "Masculine" ego consciousness, which has, for better and worse, been accomplished. We now have considerable "ego strength" but no connection to anything beyond it, hence, a good deal of turmoil in a world that feels untethered, without purpose or direction. Both "Feminine" and "Masculine" dominated cultures were necessarily one-sided otherwise each could not have developed. But, what is next? And, what is required of us so that the new "third" can emerge?
In this class we will dive deeply into the bigger story at play here – the deep, archetypal dynamics and the wisdom behind them. We will begin to think about, observe, and imagine, the next phase of consciousness. Rather than simply enacting each stage via identification, we can step back and consciously embrace the gifts and costs of each, for men and women. By holding both in a conscious, creative tension of opposites, we can facilitate the emergence of the Mercurial "Divine Child."
