If you're wondering, "why the hell would I make my own wings?" you probably live in a city with easy chicken wing delivery options or you like to go to sports bars. So, the answer is you wouldn't. But for those of us who aren't lucky enough to live near an Atomic Wings or who hate even the idea of sports bars (looking at you, bro), it's DIY or nothing — especially if you're prepping for a Super Bowl party and want a quick, easy and cost-effective way to feed a crowd.
Here's the good news: you absolutely do not have to stand over a pan of boiling hot oil, laboring over batch after batch, trying not to splatter self or surroundings. Yes, the pros deep fry their Buffalo wings, but that's why they're pros. You know what else they have? Deep-fryers — and someone else to clean it all up. You, on the other hand, have an oven. Use it.
"Making wings is definitely safer in the broiler, plus it's healthier and there's less cleanup after," said Gina Homolka, cookbook author and founder of the blog SkinnyTaste. "Having all your wings in the oven and all on one pan rather than frying them in batches is quicker because you can only do so many at a time in a fryer," she said. This is how she does it. And here's an even easier chicken wing recipe.
Mix your marinade, toss the wings, spread them out on a baking sheet and BOOM: 20 minutes later you're on your way to Buffalo heaven. And not that you care, because wings, but these are even plausibly guilt-free(ish).
"When making wings in the oven — you're not making a health food dish but it's not unhealthful," said Emma Christensen, managing editor of Simply Recipes. "And you're probably not eating a ton of them, but, if you are, no judgment."
What she said.

Power and change is in the air. Everyone feels it. The news reports on various manifestations: the good–more people are identifying as empaths and getting in touch with their spirituality through paganism than ever before, and the deeply troubling–fascism and xenophobia are on the rise in governments throughout the world from Brazil to Russia and here in the United States. This challenging moment of uncertainty, heightened sensitivity and connection by some and a doubling down on separation and violence by others, has deep roots. The current expression is related to the Saturn-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn that we've been feeling since last Winter, which will culminate in a year, from December 2019-January 2020. This epochal alignment is the overarching context we're operating within for the next two years. To understand what this means for us as individuals, we need to look at how this has historically manifested in the collective because the movements of Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto define generations.
Saturn is the planet of strict authority, hard limits and boundaries, sufferings and hardship, and necessity and finality. With his many rings, he likes to constrict and deprive. Before humans had telescopes to view the heavens, Saturn was the last planet visible with the naked eye. As such, he's associated with the endings of things. Pluto is associated with the God of death, the underworld, and the riches that lay beneath the Earth. He's raw power and evolutionary transformation, and has the ability to empower and intensify whatever he touches. Pluto and Saturn come together every 31-37 years. Their combined energy brought us some of the most difficult periods of the last century: World War 1, World War 2, and September 11, 2001. Moments of contraction, characterized by international crisis and conflict, that each brought about the end of an era. In his book, Cosmos and Psyche, Richard Tarnas describes the archetypal Saturn-Pluto complex as tending "to constellate a widespread sense that one's life was determined and constrained by large impersonal forces…too powerful to and dominant to be affected by the individual self. This sense of vulnerability was in turn regularly matched by a drive for power, control, and domination" (210). Capricorn is Saturn's home sign of structure and security that desires to create firm foundation from which a mighty empire can grow. Astrologers have been speculating how the Saturn-Pluto conjunction will manifest in Capricorn as the cold earth sign does nothing to temper Saturn's force, but rather exacerbates his autocratic impulses.
We've already seen an emphasis of this energy in 2019. The year began with a Saturn-Sun conjunction on January 2, the Capricorn new Moon partial solar eclipse on January 5, and the Sun's conjunction with Pluto on January 11. Consider what was going on for you during those days for an indication of your personal experience with this power. Mars and Venus are going to set off these points in February, which will be especially pronounced for those with planets in Capricorn or any cardinal sign (Aries, Cancer, and Libra). If all of that feels a tad ominous, it is (feel free to call me with your feelings about it late at night because I'm already up thinking about it), but it's not the only major alignment at play.
The month starts on February 1, with Mars well dignified in his home sign of Aries, moving into a conjunction with Uranus, and a square with Pluto. This Mars square may add some extra emphasis to the Saturn-Pluto experience, but it's also highlighting the end of the Uranus-Pluto square that's been with us since 2010. If Pluto with Saturn closes things down, Pluto with Uranus breaks things open. The revolutionary emancipatory impulse of Uranus in Aries coupled with the transformative power of Pluto can be credited with much of the radical social justice movements that emerged in the last 8 years: the Arab Spring, Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, #MeToo, increased immigrant rights, and greater freedom and liberation for the transgender community. Uranus takes 84 years to cycle the Sun, so this is the last time he'll be in Aries in our lifetime after moving into Taurus on March 6.
In considering a long view of history, we see progress is commonly followed by backlash. The visibility of issues and concerns that were long ignored by the mainstream is a tremendous step forward. Yet those who's fragile egos are threatened by these changes are attempting to take us back to an earlier era, to make America great again, because Saturn rules old age and creates nostalgia for the past. We see the Saturn-Pluto archetype writ large in people who cast themselves as victims and compensate for feeling vulnerable with violence and repression. But their fearful hate can't negate the progress of the last decade. We're a global society, more connected, organized, and informed than ever before. This Mars square hits on the ongoing negotiation within us personally and collectively, demanding we consider where we feel powerful and disempowered, free and confined, open and unallowed, evolving and stuck. The strong drive of Mars can give a nice boost to whatever area of your chart is ruled by Aries, but there's a tendency to go too hard and an impulse to fight too much. The best use of Mars is to direct him towards a task, so be clear about what you want to achieve and watch him make it happen.
The following day, February 2, Venus is highlighted in the conversation as she makes a trine to Uranus from Sagittarius. This is an anarcha-feminist riot grrl kind of energy that has the potential to bring topics relating to the emancipation of the Divine Feminine to the forefront. Venus is often active on the Witches Sabbats, and February 2 is the pagan holiday of Imbolc, also known as Candelmas, Brigid's Day, or mid-Winter. The ground is frozen but the light is gaining in the sky. The warmth fertilizes the Earth and we look for signs of the Goddess stirring from her slumber in the tentative hints of Spring.
Imbolc is traditionally a festival of torches when we reflect on the illumination from within and the inspiration from without. We give thanks for having stayed warm enough to survive the cold and remind ourselves that Spring is around the corner. One way to celebrate the increasing power of the Sun on Imbolc is to light a candle in each room of the house. Some pagans enjoy wearing a crown of lit candles on their head, but I'll leave it to you to decide what's safe in your space and for your hair. If there's snow on the ground, you can remember the warmth of Summer and draw images of the Sun in the snow to remind your neighbors. I did this one year at a park after a formidable series of blizzards, and everyone appreciated it and started drawing their own. Witches inspire others to remember their magic so give yourself permission to play.
Imbolc ritual for self-dedication using candle magic: Decorate your altar with snowdrops and a Brigid's cross (fun to make ahead of time). Cast your circle, light yellow, orange, and/or red candles and gaze into the flame. As you do, visualize your life bursting with vibrancy and creativity. Like the Goddess, you're also being refreshed and renewed during Winter, but soon new life will spring forth. This is the quickening of the year, when spirit enlivens form. See it in your mind's eye as if it's already true. Believe in it and affirm it everyday from now till Ostara. Draw a picture or visually represent it to yourself in some other way. Some people like to create a poppet or Brigid's doll. Carry that token with you or keep it on your altar for the next 7 weeks. So mote it be.
February 3 is a great time to move towards what you wish to manifest when Mercury sextile Jupiter. Business and communication are favored, and it's an ideal day to make plans and create systems. Jupiter wants to expand your mind and Mercury is the key so let your imagination run wild and your spirit soar. Venus enters Capricorn on February 3, lending some grounding to the day, and further immersing herself in the power-play dynamics of Saturn-Pluto. Venus in Capricorn wants to make sure our relationships work for us, that they enable us to be our truest, most fulfilled, and productive selves. Over the month Venus may test your partnerships to see if they measure up, but only because she wants the very best for you. This is a strong, sensual, earth Goddess Venus who's not going to allow you to settle for less.
The Aquarius New Moon on February 4, has a nice sextile from Jupiter and will continue the theme of forward looking innovation. We've finally concluded the eclipse cycle along the Leo-Aquarius axis that lit up those areas of our charts for the past 2 years. If it felt like there was a lot of loss in your Aquarius sector of life, this is a beautiful time to set intentions for a new beginning (feel free to email me if you're not sure where this is for you). February 7 is a favorable day when the Sun sextiles Jupiter and Mercury sextiles Mars. Success is yours so if you're feeling lucky go for it. I don't know what it will be for you, but you will!
Mercury enters Pisces on February 10, beginning a lengthy swim through a psychedelic pond that will last (gasp!), until April 18. During that time they'll encounter Neptune (the swamp monster!), multiple times over. Neptune isn't actually a monster, but he is a confusing, disorientating, and, at times, debilitating influence. Mercury is in their adversity in Pisces, and will go retrograde there on March 5, so by the time it's all over we may say, what a long strange trip it's been. This is going to be a lazy, hazy couple of months, which means if there's stuff you need to get done perfectly, do it now.
Mars conjuncts Uranus on February 13, but the volatile energy will build throughout the week. The best advice is to expect the unexpected and try to control yourself. Be careful when operating heavy machinery and avoid rash behavior or rushed decision making. This is a good day to begin an innovative project or express yourself individually, just be sure to play it safe in all arenas. Valentine's Day may have a sharp edge this year thanks to Mars entering Taurus on February 14. Mars likes to fight and is in his adversity in the Venus ruled sign of love, beauty, pleasure, art, nature, romance, and sensuality. Mars will be there until April 1, so take the next 6 weeks to commit to what you've started because Taurus is faithful and enjoys hard work. Venus sextiles Neptune on February 17, which feels like a cosmic love letter, and will make for a better date night if you want to postpone romantic stuff for a few days.
The Venus-Saturn conjunction on February 18, curbs the dreamy influence and brings everything into the harsh light of day. If you find yourself feeling alienated or alone, reach out to those you trust. Conversations may feel somber but remember to give yourself the tenderness you need that may not be available from others. The Sun enters Pisces on February 18, moving us into the final sign of Winter, and two-thirds of the way towards Spring. Pisces is an emotional, intuitive water sign, ruled by Jupiter, that pertains to the formless and mysterious nature of God as embodied through the ocean. The Sun in Pisces incubates in the embryonic waters of life, gestating in the wisdom of all that is and the potential of all that could be. This is the final trimester before the rebirth at the Spring equinox when the Sun ingresses into Aries, the sign of it's exaltation. Whatever you've been holding inside may begin pouring out, but do no be ashamed of your leaky body. Revel in the healing available from the baptismal waters of Pisces, especially if they burst forth from your eyes.
The Virgo Full Moon on February 19, is all fogged in due to the Mercury-Neptune conjunction on the same day. The Moon is in a trine with Mars in Taurus indicating there's something to build, but it may be of a spiritual nature. Mercury is also making a sextile to Saturn, which provokes a desire for self-improvement and tendency towards exaggerated critique. However, due to the Neptunian influence it will be hard to see things clearly. Virgo does not suffer confusion gladly so this is more an opportunity for surrender than it is for control, which is a challenge for the mercurial earth sign. Dedicate yourself to what's tangible and real, and appreciate the internal changes that have occurred since September.
Mercury squares Jupiter while Venus conjuncts Pluto on February 22, adding emotional intensity and depth to the weekend. You may confront the obstacle in your path or watch it be blown to bits. Passions will run high, but so will obsession and jealousy. Pay attention to who enters your life during this time and wait at least a few days before running off with them.
February is a short month but it's packed with intensity. Please let me know how it goes for you, especially with all things Saturn and Pluto. Blessed be.

It can be difficult to find the right shampoo if you have fine hair. You're probably faced with strands that get greasy quickly, and have very dry ends. Not to mention trying to hold a style without applying a whole can of hairspray. But the right volumizing shampoo can help add some lift and bounce to hair that feels limp and lifeless.
Our Rating
What Determines Hair Volume?
The same as with your skin type, whether you have thick, coarse or fine hair is determined by genetics.
Having fine, flat hair is one of the most common complaints women have about their style. But understanding more about what determines hair volume can help you choose the best product to infuse some lift into your locks.
There are a few things that influence your hair's natural volume. One of the most simple is the amount of hairs per square inch you have on your scalp, as having more hair equals more volume. It is therefore easier to add some lift when you have lots of hair, even if it is very fine.
The next determining factor is the thickness of each follicle. The wider the diameter of each fiber, the more overall hair volume you'll have. Simple right?
The texture of your hair also has an influence on volume. It is easier for stiffer hair fibers to stand up on their own and hold a style than it is for more flexible fibers. Fine hair is often less stiff, which is why it can appear limp and floppy (BeautyBrains).
Finally, the more friction there is between each hair follicle, the more they can rub against each other to create volume.
Coarse hair, for instance, has a rougher surface than fine hair, and fibers can snag against each other which creates lift. It's usually necessary to use a styling product to improve the friction between finer hair follicles.
Is There Any Other Way To Thicken Hair?
If you've ever thought your hair looked fuller after having it coloured, you were probably right. The colouring process damages hair fibers making them swell, so it can look like your hair has more natural volume (Self).
It's not a good idea to do this process too often though, as damaged hair can be brittle, more prone to breakages and split ends, or even start to fall out.
Blow drying or using a curling iron can also help lift your hair away from the roots to add more body, but regular use can damage your hair. Exposure to high heat robs moisture from your hair and skin, so it's best to use a cooler setting and let your hair dry naturally whenever you can.
How Do Volumizing Shampoos Work?
Clever marketing techniques might have you believe that volumizing shampoos contain ingredients to make hair thicker, but actually, they work by removing residue from things like styling products and conditioners (Self).
Most shampoos and conditioners leave a residue behind to add moisture, but this can weigh fine hair down and make it difficult to hold on to any natural volume you might have.
Volumizing shampoos usually have lighter, clear formulas that leave less residue behind, and cleanse without adding extra weight.
It's best not to over condition hair after using a volumizing shampoo, as you want to keep hair as natural as possible to keep its natural bounce.
Ingredients To Avoid
As fine hair is easily weighed down by moisturising agents, it is a good idea to avoid products specifically aimed to hydrate and condition hair.
Ingredients such as shea butter and argan oil can work wonders on some hair types, but fine hair will probably feel limp and lifeless, and look greasy more quickly.
Lighter moisturisers such as linseed oil and royal jelly can be a good alternative to infuse dry hair with extra nourishment, without weighing it down (StyleCaster).
Other Volume Boosting Products
If you're looking for some extra lift after shampooing, you can follow on with a styling product designed to give your hair more body. Hairsprays help lift the roots away from your scalp and make hair look fuller.
Styling creams, serums and mousse often contain polymers that help stiffen hair follicles, and the extra rigidity means fibers can push against each other to add some temporary volume (StyleCaster).
Remember not to use too much product though, as you'll be adding more weight to your hair and making it harder to achieve some natural lift.
Top 5 Volumizing Shampoos
Staying clear of shampoos that contain heavy moisturising agents should help you achieve more vibrant hair, so here is my list of top volume boosting shampoos:
Although this shampoo has a creamy consistency, it has a light enough formula to use on fine hair that easily gets greasy.
It contains cushioning particles that help give a volume boost, as well as natural bamboo extract and light essential oils. This is a good option if your hair is fine and prone to dryness, as the oils help to add moisture without weighing hair down.
With regular use, fine hair which is difficult to manage gets easier to work with, and looks fuller with more bounce. They also have a light conditioner as part of their Volupt range which effectively moisturises fine hair.
What I Like
What I don't Like
This shampoo targets all problems associated with fine hair, such as constantly dealing with limpness and greasiness.
It has a light, silicone free formula, and contains salicylic acid which helps to remove stubborn buildup from styling products and oils. It is infused with citrus extracts and ginseng to invigorate hair, and leaves a slight tingle when you massage it into your scalp.
It lathers nicely, and by cleaning without leaving residue behind fine hair can look shinier and feel bouncier.Their Full Blown range includes a lightweight foam conditioner and styling whip that can help give you can extra volume boost after shampooing.
What I Like
What I don't Like
This shampoo aims to add more volume and fullness to hair by enhancing its texture. It contains cationic polymers to help make hair fibers more rigid, and cellulose powder which has an amplifying effect when it comes into contact with water.
This is a great choice for people with damaged or vulnerable fine hair, as their formula provides a gentle cleanse and helps fortify each strand.
A little goes a long way with Kérastase, so this shampoo should last a long time. Its lightweight formula is suitable for fine hair which lacks bounce, and should help you achieve a more thickened look.
What I Like
What I don't Like
If you feel you have fine, limp hair which is prone to oiliness, this could be a great option for you. Its clear formula is not at all greasy, and it contains mild surfactants that won't strip your scalp of its natural oils.
With fine hair, you often feel the need to shampoo daily, which can easily dry out your skin. This sulfate free formula provides a more gentle cleanse, which is better for the overall health of your hair and scalp.
This shampoo contains panthenol to add moisture and shine, as well as hop and turnip root extract. It helps create more volume at the roots by stimulating and revitalising your scalp, and also makes hair feel fuller, softer and more hydrated.
What I Like
What I don't Like
This is one of the best shampoos on the market, as it helps create volume that lasts, and transforms flat hair prone to fly aways into bouncy, vibrant locks.
It contains Himalayan crystal minerals that help fortify hair fibers and protect against damage. It is specifically designed for fine hair, and cleanses gently without weighing it down.
After a few washes hair feels nourished, silky, and hydrated down to the very ends. It can be difficult to find a lightweight volumizing shampoo that adds enough moisture to hair, but this product delivers consistent results for extra volume and shine.
If you have very oily hair, you might have to shampoo and rinse twice, but it should feel deeply cleansed and with a lot more movement.
What I Like
What I don't Like
Fine hair can be a nightmare to deal with, as many products have heavy formulas that can weigh hair down and make it difficult to achieve a bouncy, voluminous style.
As fibers are more flexible than in other types of hair, it has more difficulty standing up on its own, and can easily become limp and floppy.
Products that contain agents such as polymers coat hair follicles to give them more rigidity and achieve more body, but it is near impossible to permanently change your hair's natural thickness.
The key to finding the best volumizing shampoo is to determine exactly what you need in terms of deep cleaning and oil control. Shu Uemura's Volume Pure Lightness Shampoo is one of the best that I've come across.
It is specifically designed to combat styling problems associated with fine hair. It provides a deep clean which is gentle, and doesn't leave residue behind which is one of the reasons your hair can look oily and flat.
This shampoo balances essential minerals to infuse hair with moisture without weighing it down, and helps create nourished strands with long lasting volume. With regular use, it should be easier to style your hair and finally create the look you're after.

|Wrong garb
While Young Greg pursued the Life Ecclesiastical, Caesarius followed a medical vocation. Having studied in Alexandria, he set up shop in Constantinople and was soon banking large. Young Greg visited in 358 and persuaded him to move home. It was a family thing, and Caesarius did not feel that he could refuse. Then an offer from the imperial household came and he couldn't resist that either. Soon he was back in Constantinople, taking the vitals of Emperor Constantius II and those dear to him. Big Connie died in 361 and was succeeded by Julian. Julian the Apostate.
There was no way that an emperor dedicated to reversing four decades of Christian toleration was going to let Christian herbalist with a scapel anywhere near him. Caesarius got a choice: ditch the Cross or get out of Dodge. Caesarius hit the road. Julian also went on the move, pursuing war in the East. He took a spear to the abdomen in 363; his surgeon did the best he could, including a dark wine irrigation of the wound (Is yeast really a good idea?) and gastrorrhaphy, which involves suturing the intestines. I'm not saying that Dr. Caesarius could have done better, but the patient did not pull through.
|Clothes are closer, probably. Dirt 'stache, though
When Greg showed up to deal with the estate, he found that the creditors and servants had done most of his work already. Greg donated whatever was left to the poor and proceeded to deliver a eulogy in which Caesarius had seen the light and generously given his wealth to the needy just before departing to his eternal reward. An optimist would say that Greg probably knew this was in his brother's heart from a letter, or perhaps even a spiritual revelation. A skeptic would say that Greg was spinning his brother's last days to comfort his family or to fit his own view of virtue. A cynic might even say that Greg had to recast his brother as a saint for the sake of his own reputation. In this, the cynical and the optimistic versions are exclusive. The choice is for the reader.

Hello From the Village!!!
Hey fellow Goblins! Hail and well met from the Village!
Matt here. Wanted to touch base with you guys and let you know what all is going down in Goblin-town. Soooo, let's break it up into parts. First:
Tarol's Health
After being delayed a bit (to say the least) by Tarol's little brain surgery (blah, blah, my head almost blew up, blah blah - he's so NEEDY) We're back on track and while Thunt still isn't 100%, we're cruising along and are getting back to where we need to be. Second...
The Website
We've updated our website since a lot of the digital goods are going to be delivered through that platform. We had some simple snafus with the providers that we were working with and with waiting periods for being able to move URLs, but now we are in the clear and everything looks shiny! Go look!
Please drive folks to that site if they want to know more about our project. It'll help increase our SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and make it easier to find Goblins Animated. Which helps the show. You'll see the new incentives page there. We're going to be delivering our wallpaper as soon as we figure out one last detail. We're taking the same care with the animation and the products we're bringing to you guys so just be aware that we're trying do everything well on the first time and sometimes building the pipeline takes a bit before we can run the oil through it. Which brings me to:
The Stuff
So because the Indiegogo platform doesn't allow us to just speak to specific backer groups, or to speak privately, we are organizing a whole bunch of individual groups through an external service so that we can make sure that everyone receives both their physical swag and their digital swag. This is a lot to sort through, from those who need to give their wrist measurements for the watches, to choices for the t-shirts, etc etc. Since a bunch of these digital levels will be password released, we want to make sure that it's simple, easy and secure. We should be able to do a wallpaper release very soon.
Phil has started to deliver his private lessons to backers (we're going to have some fun video of that). And we've sourced the Klik plushies, the pencils, and started in on the CAD files for our miniatures. Here are some of the quotes that are going to appear on the pencils. I think they're super fun:
and of course, the best one (for the best character)...
We're also developing the miniature figurine poses and seeing which ones that we like the most. Check this one out:
This isn't final (since we need to know which are better or worse for the extruder, more difficult to create, we don't like the final look, etc), but they'll give you a sense of the progress.
We're also still working on the shirts, the caps and the rest of it. We hit a snag with the dice and we had to ditch our source, so if any of you out in Goblins-land have a good lead on a dice creator that we can work with, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
Some of you have asked about the game 'Goblins of Elderstone'. The game is still being tested and isn't at final. As soon as we know more, we'll let you know more. Which brings me to:
The MEGA TRAILER
So the guys over at Surfer Jack are helping us move this thing along. That's Jeff 'Swampy' Marsh (of Phineas and Ferb) and Van Partible (of Johnny Bravo) lending us their team and expertise. We're moving forward with their recommendations and advice, and we're currently working on the designs for the characters so that we're able to animate them in a way that conveys the characters you know and love, but works with the strictures and benefits of working in a moving environment as opposed to a still one. Tarol started doing these great boards to give the animators a sense of what we are looking for:
It's a great launching point for the characters, but we realize that animation gets SUPER expensive SUPER quickly (this was really interesting to me as a filmmaker, because cameras have gotten so much cheaper over the years with such amazing image quality. But at the end of the day, animation is still folks in a room drawing picture after picture, so the cost reductions despite technological improvements aren't as great), so we have a steep learning curve about understanding what we can and can't do in the animation space. Swampy and the Surfer Jack team have been indispensable in getting us up and moving in the right direction.
That's it for now. Keep an ear out for our updates here, and an eye out for the extra backer surveys, etc in your email.
Thanks for being the best fans ever!

It is easy to splurge on home renovations. When you start exploring ideas, expensive options sound more durable and look more aesthetically pleasing. In no time, you might find yourself exceeding your budget. Don't rush! As the experts in kitchen flooring, Touchtone Canada offers you inexpensive options that look just as good and stay in good condition for years. While price is important, we will advise you to also consider the quality. Your kitchen is the most used part of your home. It needs to wear well against spills, stains, heat, and accidents. It also needs to be easy to clean and maintain, fix, and replace. Have a look at what we have to suggest:
Less expensive kitchen floors are ceramic tile, vinyl, laminate, and cork. However, costs do not include underlay, fixing with adhesive or installation supplies.
If you are considering DIY installation, this is a good option. You can install it right over your existing floor so you avoid extra expenses on underlay. Vinyl comes in a wide variety of styles, the cheapest of which is peel and stick tile. There are also peel and stick planks. If you're looking for a touch of luxury, consider the thicker planks which can be fitted in a click. Vinyl is easy to clean, is resilient, and feels smooth under bare feet, but depending on the quality of the vinyl, it can be more easily scratched or ruined. It can scratch and wear off easily. Make sure the installation has a professional finish.
Laminate is inexpensive but by no means can it be called fragile. It has a hard resin surface that is scratch and stain resistant making it perfect for kitchens, but it can get damaged easily with water. Leaks and spills can make laminate planks swells up around the edges. You cannot mop it with water either. It is very important to choose water-resistant flooring for your kitchen, or you will be spending soon on upgrades. Laminate is available in a "water-resistant" variety which prevents water damage for up to 24 hours, but they are priced higher. Regarding aesthetics, they lose out to hardwood. Your guests will notice the difference for sure. Varieties can look like wood, ceramic tile, stone, and other high-quality flooring. The question is, do you really want a kitchen floor that you can't mop with water?
Tile is perhaps the best option for inexpensive kitchen flooring. It is tough, easy to clean, can last for decades if installed properly. If you prefer a simple, clean design, tiles will be perfect for you and they are easy to mop. However, tiled floors can crack easily if a hard object is dropped on it. The flooring can feel uncomfortably hard, hot or cold under your feet. With that said, you can opt to add an in-floor heating system that will remove the cold feel of tile.
Cork is a high-end option among the inexpensive choices. It is comfortable, aesthetic, easy to install and offers soft cushioned comfort under your feet. Cork can last you decades. It is available as planks that can be snapped together but as you can expect, it will cost you more.

The Declaration of Independence
The 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence, what was to become one of the most important and influencial documents in history, agreed to "mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor." Apparently these men were quite serious to their cause, for they all knew they were committing treason.
Fundamentally the Declaration of Independence is at the same time a statement of intent to renounce British rule over the colonies and an argument justifying that intent. The justification for why the colonies had chosen to break with England lies in the philosophical position that human beings -- commoner and king alike -- are first bound by "the laws of nature" and that these natural laws should preempt the traditional notions of sovereign rule by divine right. This natural law theory is predicated on various far-reaching assumptions or "self-evident truths."
The most important assumptions made by the Declaration of Independence are that all men are created equally; that all men have the absolute right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"; that government is a social contract between the governing body and the people who are governed; that society consents to the formation of government in exchange for governmental protection of the rights of individuals within that society; and finally that if society withdraws its consent, the government can be replaced.
Our Service Can Write a Custom Essay on Declaration of Independence!
Between the American colonies and Britain specifically, if the British government fails to protect the absolute rights of the colonists by denying them life, liberty, or the pursuit of happiness, then the British government has breeched its social contract and the consent of the colonies to be governed by Britain may be withdrawn. Once colonial consent to be governed by the British is withdrawn, that government can be replaced.

We're going to blame this on Becky but we had some slight travel issues with our flight. About a 2 hour delay with at least one plane reboot. No kidding, I think the maintenance crew shut down and restarted the nav system. We made it safe and sound with about a 2 hour bus ride to the hotel.
Off to breakfast and the adventures of the day.

I would not recommend this place to anyone. The person I went to did not know her stuff. I knew more about my problems then she did. She was argumentative and used bullying and intimidation techniques on me. She created a terrible anxiety attack. She did not listen to my concerns or research I offered in defense of my position to the situation. It was the worst medical experience I've ever had. The office people were also non-caring and just brushed me off as a problem child when all I was doing was offering feedback and information on my behalf. Because I didn't agree with everything being thrown at me, that was upsetting me, they are saying no one in the practice will see me.
So only go there if you are going to believe everything you are being told even when you research what they are saying and find it is not correct.

Landlords in the commercial private rented sector will see their responsibility for the energy efficiency of their properties increase significantly from 1st April 2018. This follows the introduction of the Energy Efficiency (Private Rented Property) (England and Wales) Regulations 2015.
At present, a landlord is generally required to provide an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) upon the proposed letting of a property, subject to certain exceptions. An EPC designates an energy efficiency rating for a property ranging from A (at the most efficient) to G, which can give tenants an idea of how well insulated a property is and how efficient its heating, cooling and ventilation systems are.
Under the minimum energy efficiency standard (MEES) set by the Regulations, it will be unlawful for a landlord to grant a new lease (including an underlease and a lease renewal) of an applicable property with an EPC rating lower than band E from 1st April 2018.
Landlords will eventually be prohibited from continuing to let any commercial property within the scope of the Regulations, including where an existing lease is in place, from 1st April 2023.
Improvements will need to be carried out to sub-standard properties to ensure compliance with the MEES otherwise landlords risk being the subject of enforcement action if an exemption is not available.
Exceptions and Exemptions
Properties that do not require EPCs, such as places of worship and temporary structures, will not be caught by the new regime.
Tenancies with a term of 6 months or less (providing there is no right to renewal or extension and the tenant's actual occupation does not exceed 12 months) and tenancies with a term of 99 years or more will also fall outside of the scope of the Regulations.
For properties that would otherwise need to comply with the MEES, landlords can apply for exemptions in the following circumstances:
- Where all cost-effective improvement measures within a seven year payback period have been implemented
- The required consent of any third party, such as superior landlords, tenants or lenders, cannot be obtained and the landlord has made reasonable efforts to do so
- The proposed necessary improvements to comply with the MEES would devalue the property by at least 5% of its market value
Exemptions will last for 5 years and must be registered on the Private Rented Sector Exemptions Register.
A landlord must either comply with the MEES or demonstrate that an exemption still applies on expiry of the 5 year period. As such, it is perhaps more appropriate to think of the 'exemptions' as merely deferrals.
Enforcement and Penalties
Non-compliance with the MEES may result in enforcement action being taken by a local authority.
A compliance notice could initially be served on a landlord where the local authority suspects there to be a breach of the Regulations. The landlord must then provide evidence relating to the alleged breach.
If such evidence fails to satisfy the local authority that the breach has since been sufficiently addressed or if evidence is simply not forthcoming, the next step will be to issue a financial penalty and to publish details of the breach.
The financial penalty will depend on the severity of the breach and length of time it has subsisted during a letting, and could be as much as £150,000 if the breach has subsisted for three months or more.
Practical Considerations
The Regulations have not been warmly received by the property industry and are ultimately a product of a European Directive. There is therefore a small degree of uncertainty as to whether the MEES will actually come into effect in light of the UK's vote to leave the European Union.
However, as it stands, we are on course for the changes to take effect from 1st April 2018 and, given that the Regulations are entrenched in UK law under the Energy Act 2011, there is unlikely to be a reversal of policy at this stage. In short, sitting tight and hoping that this will all go away is not a gamble worth taking.
It is estimated that around 16-18% of all commercial property in England and Wales would currently be in breach of the MEES.
Landlords should have already started considering what action to take – whether by making the necessary improvements, preparing to apply for an exemption, or looking to dispose of properties where neither option is feasible.
EPCs are valid for 10 years, and those properties with a relatively aged EPC rating of band E may also give landlords cause for concern. Whilst these properties would currently comply with the Regulations, changes to the way EPC ratings are calculated could mean that a new EPC may result in a lower rating.
As the energy efficiency of commercial building stock improves over time, the minimum standard could rise.
It goes without saying that the marketing of lower-rated properties, and the potential to secure finance against them, will inevitably become more problematic.
Get Advice
Whether you are a prospective landlord or a tenant, the effect of the MEES could have significant repercussions on your rights and obligations under a lease.
The Regulations could obviously affect provisions that relate specifically to EPCs, such as when an EPC can be commissioned and by which party. But it won't stop there.
Negotiations on service charges, entry and inspection rights, statutory compliance obligations, covenants on alterations, conditions on returning a property to the landlord and – perhaps felt most acutely – rent review provisions, are all likely to be impacted. Careful consideration must be given to these issues to protect your position as far as possible and ensure that you are aware of your responsibilities.
If you are looking to enter into a lease of commercial premises, it is vital that you obtain expert advice to safeguard your interests and guide you through the process.

Well, even before knowing more about her work let us rewind and unfold her life story. Rosalind Franklin was born on July 25th 1920 in London. Her family was much involved in both social and public works. Franklin's father also aimed at becoming a scientist but unfortunately he could not continue his studies and ended up being a teacher in working men's college.

Welcome Theresa to the Explorer Chick Team!
Explorer Chick is excited to announce we are growing again! Please welcome Theresa King to the Explorer Chick Team! She will be your guide this Spring in the Red River Gorge for our Backpacking Workshops.
In true Explorer Chick fashion, Theresa and I headed down the Red last week for hiking (and stuffing our faces with Miguel's Pizza). I knew Theresa was the perfect fit for Explorer Chick when she stepped out of her car wearing the exact same trekking pants as me! We enjoyed perfect weather and the recent rains brought the Red alive with waterfalls and wildflowers. She even introduced me to a centipede that when picked up, leaves your hands smelling like cherries!
Over our roughly 10 miles of hiking, we got to know each other more. Theresa is a passionate about the outdoors. So much so, she is building her career around it. She recently earned her BS in Resort, Recreation, and Hospitality management from Slippery Rock University and this fall she heads to Ohio University for her Masters in Recreation Studies. Her guiding experience includes multi-week expeditions to New England, caving, canoeing, and outdoor living skills. When she's not busy with school, you'll find her outdoors climbing, backpacking and pursuing any adventures in the water. Welcome to the team, Theresa!

Gai Waterhouse believes SIEGE OF QUEBEC could develop into her latest winter gem after a patient approach with the brother of Bull Point.
The Fastnet Rock colt has been given time to grow into his frame and begun his career with victory at Newcastle on the Beaumont track but has a stamp of quality. He steps up to city company and 1400 metres at Rosehill on Saturday as the next step in his schooling.
"He such a lovely colt (pictured above as a yearling), very relaxed, but he is still learning his craft. We have not pushed him because you look at him and think he is going to grow into a nice horse," Waterhouse said. "He has a strong family and has always been a good sort and I would say better looking than his brother, who I trained [to run third in a Golden Rose].
"He is bit of a slower maturer than his brother but he is starting to get there.
"He can win a couple of races at this time of year and get that experience of being at the races and you don't know where these horses can finish."
Star Of Quebec has a powerful group of owners including Coolmore, which parted with $1.2 million for him as a yearling and is looking for him to become a stallion, so the Golden Rose would be an option.
Waterhouse of course took Squamosa through from a winter-winning two-year-old to be a runner-up in the Golden Rose, but was clear that there is no pressure on Star Of Quebec.
He carried blinkers at his first start and Waterhouse said they were more to keep "his mind on the job" and she said she could see the improvement in the colt after returning from her winter holiday.
"He is still bit of a baby and the blinkers just focus him and keep him from being too relaxed. He is very versatile and can really be anywhere in the field," she said.
"He is the sort of horse that is going to get better with racing, but seeing him working during the week I could see the difference in him.
"It is amazing what a win does for a horse and the way he looks I think he'll be keeping the unbeaten record."
Siege Of Quebec is contesting favouritism for the two-year-old race with an impressive midweek winner from the Chris Waller yard, Calculated.
NB: Siege Of Quebec (Fastnet Rock x Rose Of Cimmaron) was purchased from the draft of Newgate Farm from the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale for $1.2m by Tom Magnier, Gai Waterhouse Racing, Nordic Racing and Breeding and Blue Sky Bloodstock's Julian Blaxland.

INTERVIEW: Ellen Hermanson Foundation's Julie Ratner Talks "Starry Night" And Her Hopes For The Future
The Ellen Hermanson Foundation is pleased to present Starry Night, a Gala honoring Jennifer Finkelstein, 5 Under 40 Foundation, and the doctors, nurses, and medical staff of The Ellen Hermanson Breast Centerat Southampton Hospital. Join the Foundation on Saturday, July 23rd from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. for a celebratory evening under the stars! This year, the Ellen Hermanson Foundation is toasting to 21 years of changing and saving lives.
Starry Night is chaired by Jean Shafiroff with Calvin Klein as the Honorary Chair. The event will feature delicious Hamptons fare by Chris Robbins of Robbins Wolfe Eventeurs and fun entertainment by MD Music and Entertainment. Additionally, the evening will include a special performance from singer Meredith O'Connor, who will perform Just the Thing and Guardian Angel.
Guests should expect to mingle with friends, celebrities, and philanthropists, all of whom are celebrating the incredible work of the Foundation. Past chairs and honorees include Christie Brinkley, B. Smith, Dan Gasby, Alex Guarnaschelli, and Anne Burrell.
The Ellen Hermanson Foundation was started by Ellen's sisters, Julie Ratner and Emily Levin. Ratner now serves as the Founder and President of the Foundation, while Levin serves as the Founder and Vice President.
"We started in 1996, so this year is our 18th Gala. We started this a year after Ellen passed away," explained Ratner. "She was 42 and her daughter was six-years-old. I started this for two main reasons. One is that I wanted to continue the work Ellen did as a writer and advocate for women with breast cancer. She was really a crusader and talked about the need for educational outreach and early detection and that women need to take care of themselves. She always felt like she was a bit of a teacher. The other motivator for me was her daughter, Leora. I wanted to do something that would keep Ellen's memory alive and so Leora would always know who her mother was."
All the work the Ellen Hermanson Breast Center and Foundation does is entirely free. The Foundation strives to assist anyone, despite their financial situation. "There is a huge need here," said Ratner.
By attending the Starry Night Gala, you're helping the Foundation help hundreds of women and families in the community fight this fatal disease.
"The party is a wonderful, local event," said Ratner. "No event is cheap here, but we try to make our event more accessible to more people. We don't charge for our services. We have, through the money we raised, helped the Southampton Hospital purchase the latest, most up-to-date, most powerful state-of-the art equipment." The organization's efforts have made a huge impact. "Because of that, in 2007, the American College of Radiology designated Southampton Hospital as the Breast Imaging Center of Excellence and not many places get that. Then, in 2011 the Hospital asked us to consider helping them purchase something called a tomosynthesis, which is the most current and up-to-date technology in mammography. It has an early detection and more accurate readings," she added. "It's a very expensive piece of equipment ($500,000) and we were able to help the Hospital purchase this. Then, we were able to help purchase a second machine which is going into the Ellen Hermanson Breast Center at Hampton Bays, which is being opened and dedicated on Tuesday, July 12th. By supporting us, people are really supporting wellness in this community."
The Ellen Hermanson Foundation has helped support women and families for over 20 years. When asked what she hopes for the Foundation in another 20 years, Ratner replied, "I hope we will be a relevant organization in the community. Maybe we'll [the Ellen Hermanson Foundation] go out of business—that would be the best thing in the world. If someone could tell me in 20 years that we're not needed, that would be the best news. I would say 'Yes!' I would love to be put out of business. If we're not, I would love to find someone to take over this Foundation and eventually relinquish some responsibility."
Ratner, her family, and all those who work in the Foundation continue to look on the positive side of their work. "When I started this, I didn't know anyone, but now we've all become friends," said Ratner. "I like to think that it's all because Ellen brought us all together. Ellen's favorite quotation was: 'I didn't choose the hand I was dealt, but I guess I get to choose how I play it.' She was amazing."
Tickets to the Starry Night are $400 and $175 for Juniors (30 and under).

- Records Fiscal Fourth Quarter Revenues of $1.6 Million
- Foundation Set for Growth During Fiscal 2019 -
SAN ANTONIO, Sept. 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Digerati Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: DTGI) ("Digerati" or the "Company") recorded fourth quarter revenues of $1.6 million, compared to revenues of $55,000 during the same period last fiscal year. The recent result includes the positive impact of two acquisitions closed during FY2018: Synergy Telecom ("Synergy"), a leading provider of cloud communication services in Texas, which was acquired on December 1, 2017, and T3 Communications, Inc. ("T3"), a leading provider of cloud communications and broadband solutions in Southwest Florida, which was acquired on May 2, 2018.
Based on the most recent quarter's result, Digerati's projected annualized revenue run-rate of $6.4 million moves the Company meaningfully toward profitability and creates a solid operational and financial foundation for future growth.
The acquisition of Synergy and T3 contributed approximately $5.6 million in annualized revenue to Digerati, of which approximately 95% is contracted monthly recurring revenue. During the quarter ended July 31, 2018, the Company achieved monthly revenue per customer (ARPU) of $824. Monthly customer churn was approximately 0.8% during the same period.
From an operational standpoint, Digerati reports that it realized meaningful cost synergies related to the consolidation of telecommunications infrastructure and integration of cloud PBX platforms and back-office systems. In addition, the Company has also integrated product lines led by its UCaaS (Unified Communications as a Service) solutions that are in high demand as businesses migrate from traditional phone systems to cloud-based telephony systems. Also, the acquisition of T3 enhanced the Company's product portfolio by introducing leading-edge network solutions that allows for cross selling that results in increased revenue per customer, a key operating metric for Digerati.
Arthur L. Smith, CEO of Digerati, commented, "Targeting accretive acquisitions is a key element of our growth strategy and we continue to take a disciplined approach to evaluating additional transactions. Although we have completed a majority of the integration on our acquisitions that yield cost savings, we still have work to do in the coming months. We also continue to work on our integrated quote-to-cash back office system that will improve responsiveness to our customers, streamline order processing, and automate help desk operations."
Mr. Smith added, "We are pleased to have delivered on our stated corporate objectives for the last fiscal year that set the foundation for continued growth, both organic and through acquisition of UCaaS operators that meet our criteria for a service culture with that 'local' touch, financial performance, and technology platforms."
Complete financial results for fiscal year 2018 will be provided in the Company's Form 10K Annual Report that the Company plans to file with SEC by the end of October 2018.

Middle Eastern 'cultural landscapes': Explorations
Jala Makhzoumi
I was recently asked to teach a four-day workshop introducing landscape to architecture students[1]. The aim was to explore methods and approaches to landscape perception and representation and propose landscape interventions.
I realized the immensity of the undertaking soon after accepting the challenge.
How can I explain the complexities of 'landscape' and the multiplicity of associated meanings when the archaic Arabic translation limits landscape to scenery?
How can I demonstrate that 'landscape' is not just what we see, but equally what we don't see, hidden processes and intangible associated values that shape what is visible?
How can I convince architecture students that prioritize space to consider the temporal dimension that is integral to understanding/designing landscapes?
The choice of project site was a key if I wanted to expose participants to the complexities of landscape. After much consideration, I chose the Beirut River, a cultural landscape par excellence, at once a natural resource and humanized setting. People and nature compete to occupy the landscape of rivers and seasonal watercourses in the eastern Mediterranean. The presence of water, even if limited to the rainy season, is precious and equally, climatic sheltering and an abundance of fertile soils. In rare occasions where human influence is absent, ravines are successively colonized by nature maturing into native forests. The coastal plain in Lebanon is punctuated by larger and smaller rivers that flow from the mountains to the Mediterranean Sea. The distinct geomorphology of the river has historically influenced the distribution of cities and is integral to the coastal landscape character. And yet, rivers and watercourses are rarely appreciated in their totality, as a landscape. Rather, they are valued as an environmental resource to be used and abused through sewage discharge and solid waste dumping. The Beirut River, as such, embodies the potentials and limitations of riparian landscapes in Lebanon because of the diverse geomorphology, a wide range of associated uses and visible changes in the river environment from a relatively pristine state to extreme degradation, respectively in higher elevations and in the coastal plain.
A day-long site visit to the lower half of the Beirut River formed the first day of the workshop. The river was channelized in 1950s to mitigate flooding –a typically engineering solution that undermines the riparian ecology and disrupts continuity of the coastal landscape (Figure 1). Motorways on both sides of the river amplify the spatial disruption, preclude pedestrian use and screen the river view. Squeezed between Beirut sea port and a solid waste dump, is the river estuary, environmentally degraded and reeking of sewage. The river corridor changes at the Jisr al Bacha, a beautiful Ottoman bridge (circa 1800) cut in half by the channel. The abrupt rise in the foothills forms a valley. Here the channel ends. No longer constrained, the river is free to meander through the wide valley floor passing through stone-cutting industries, traditional and intensive agricultural uses. Viewed from the valley peaks, the sinuous river is distinguished from verdant surroundings by the deciduous willow trees in the winter and the light green of reed clumps along its banks. Commercial and residential building blocks crenellate the peaks on both sides of the valley, slowly but surely encroaching into the river valley in breach of planning regulations that prohibit building in the river corridor. Further on, is the impressive remains of an aqueduct, a Roman engineering feat to transport water from nearby springs to the prosperous city of Beirut (Figure 2). Dry stone terrace walls cascade down the northern valley slopes on both sides of the aqueduct, cultivated with citrus trees and loquat. A short distance from the aqueduct is the Daishounia barrage, constructed during the French Mandate to regulate the water flow (Figure 3). Beyond the barrage, the river disappears into valleys that are densely wooded with pine and oak trees. I failed to locate watermill ruins I chanced to see fifteen years ago, they must have disappeared, swallowed by the forest.
What better way to expose young architects to the beauty –and ugliness- of landscape as the backdrop to changing human use and evolving cultural valuation of natural resources. What better example of a living landscape heritage, both cultural and natural, tangible physicality and intangible historic and traditional rural practices. The participants, some visiting the Beirut River for the first time, proposed readings that were as layered as the meanings of landscape. Some empathized with the river, saddened by the extent of environmental degradation, especially in the channelized part and the river estuary. Others were disturbed by the spatial segregation caused by the channel and that it denies access and that high concrete walls block the river view. Most were incredulous of the beauty of the landscape in areas where the ecological integrity of the riparian system had not been compromised. Based on their readings, the participants proposed a diversity of creative scenarios for the river landscape. Some prioritized ways to bring neighboring communities back to the river by engaging schools in river cleaning campaigns. Others devised ways to overcome the spatial disruption by bridging the channel and utilizing its space, some by using the walls to introduce graffiti stations that target city youth. In a city deprived of open/green spaces, several participants 'invented' pedestrian and/or cycling paths along, over, through the channelized river.
The workshop and the Beirut River discussed so far, were a welcome interlude from my initial intention for this article, to question the concept of 'cultural landscape'. Discussion of the Beirut River, I felt, contextualizes the arguments I would like to make and at the same time serves as a sounding board to test them. Accepting that people-nature interaction is implicit to the construction of landscape, and that landscape is part 'nature', part 'culture'[2], then doesn't the prefix 'cultural' undermine the 'nature' part of landscape? Just as importantly, if indeed 'cultural landscapes' are the 'combined works of nature and of man' according to the UNESCO World Heritage definition[3], where do you draw the line as to what is cultural landscape and what is not? Also problematic is that positive aesthetic valuation is implicit in the accepted use of the term 'cultural landscape', which is one reason why they are valued and should be protected. If we accept the UNESCO definition of 'cultural landscape' as the combined works of nature and of man, 'illustrative of the evolution of human society and settlement over time, under the influence of the physical constraints and/or opportunities presented by their natural environment and of successive social, economic and cultural forces, both external and internal', not all the landscapes that qualify under this definition are 'beautiful'. A traditional rural landscape in the Mediterranean and unregulated, suburban development are both expressions of the cultures that shaped them.
In an effort to expand the UNESCO World Heritage definition, the International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA) suggests two sub-categories[4] for 'cultural landscape': Evolved Cultural Landscapes; and Associated Cultural Landscapes. IFLA's elaboration aims to structure the broad spectrum of what qualifies under the term. Nevertheless, the combination of the two words 'cultural' and 'landscape' remains problematic, open to further questioning.
Returning to the Beirut River workshop, the readings and interventions by the participants was veritably a demonstration of an holistic, expansive understanding of 'landscape', which was my aim for this academic exercise. An holistic definition of landscape embraces what is visible (landform, park, buildings), what is invisible (ecological processes that shape the local/ global landscape) and intangible (culturally shaped perceptions and aesthetic preferences)[5]. It gladdened me to witness empathy with the river as a living entity and equally recognition that landscape can be a heritage –a revelation for architects and lay understanding of heritage that is exclusive to buildings and archaeological sites. What better way to conclude than the eloquent, opening words from the Landscape Declaration[6] of 2016, "Across borders and beyond walls, from city centers to the last wilderness, humanity's common ground is the landscape itself. Food, water, oxygen – everything that sustains us comes from and returns to the landscape. What we do to our landscapes we ultimately do to ourselves."

So much gratitude for the love and badassness shared this past weekend with these 2 goddesses and their 2 kings! Thank you! 🙏 You light up my world!
Here is a little gem caught by @garconjon and posted by @fashioninpills from #PFW Thank you! Snake on snake felt aggressive, but turned out ok! 🐍
Received these beautiful flowers from a friend today. Her note reminded me to slow down a little and take better care of myself, as I often push myself too much. These past 8 weeks have been the fullest. Full of adventure, hard work, memories, lessons, magic, full of both laughter and heartbreak, inspiration, colors, sounds, full of connection and depth, growth and discovery, and most importantly full of love and light. I have had my phone in my hand less during this period, and although I have a few images to share with you, I have thousands less than I would normally. It's been a nice break. I thank all of you who have added to my light, especially since August. I am beyond grateful for your time, love, patience, generosity, kindness, honesty, and warmth. I feel very lucky, your friendship and love is everything. 💗🧡💗🧡💗
A lot has happened in the last month and I still have NYFW pics to share. Sometimes I get overwhelmed by IG and don't know what to post. Here is something completely unrelated to all the actual important stuff - an impulse post of an accidental selfie from last weekend. I promise the next post will have more value and relevance! Xoxo
Libertine. I basically want to wear every single men's look. And perhaps, will. Satisfies the crazy in me. 🤪
Always so fulfilling and satisfying to see @j_mendel collections, with a phenomenal attention to detail and ever so feminine. Thank you for all you create, Gilles! Leaving inspired. ✨ #NYFW #ss19 #jmendel
On a very gloomy NYC day, @escadaofficial delivered a beautiful, bright and cheery show, with the perfect mix of classic lines and modern silhouettes. ✅✅✅ #nyfw #escada #ss19
I'm not sure I would go as far as calling it home. But I certainly feel the desert has magic that only those who go can understand. As I make my journey to the dust, I am grateful for all the lessons and experiences I gather there - past, present and future. See you on the playa! Will be at RH. ✨
" you get in life what you have the courage to ask for " ❤💕🍾🥂Here is to celebrating l o v e , f r i e n d s h i p , and the amazing h u m a n s in my life! #becomingkatis
Just came across this gem, from 2 weeks ago, at the beautiful lunch that Vogue X #JimmyChoo hosted. Leave it to @phamgela to always capture the moments so well! And huge thanks to @carakcrowley @90main @jesskiniery @katieknoll @voguemagazine to spoil me as such 💙💜🍇👠
My photo library hit over 100K recently. At least a thousand of that 100K are more brand-appropriate to post than a lemon. But if I really had to be true to myself tonight, I am feeling like sharing the lemon! 🤷🏼♀🍋
Each time I come to this country, I continue to be amazed by its beauty. 4 months ago, I did my 23andMe and despite constant promises by my parents that I'm 100% Bulgarian, the test indicated 11% Italian. So on days like today, and in places like this - I am proud to say I'm (part) Italian! 🤷🏼♀🇮🇹🍝
Since April, I have been working on this beautiful home on Hyde Park in London. Interior design is not something I've done on a large scale, but I truly enjoy it. These photos reflect less than half of the way to completion, but I wanted to share with you what has occupied some of my time and creative energy. Can't wait to share final result as custom furniture arrives and artwork gets installed! 🛋
Reflecting on friendship: " because of you, I laugh a little harder, cry a little less, and smile a lot more " . . . ↗the🌙n🔙 @withlovefrmkristiana

I am in Pittsburgh as one of the coaches for the America's Showcase event with team Philadelphia. Our team consists of many of the top high school junior and senior players from the eastern Pennsylvania area. Lots of college scouts in attendance.
We arrived yesterday and played a team from the Mid-West area and won 7-1. Today we take on the team from New England and tomorrow the host Pittsburgh team. Some have suggested that our team is one of the favorites along with Pittsburgh, New Your and New England. I guess we will see if we are a true contender over the next two days.
Spending time with a number of very good coaches and really enjoying seeing different ways to approach old ideas and really enjoying the conversations with some very smart coaches.
Getting ready to head to the rink and take on a tough New England team. I'll post results throughout the week.

A recent survey showed that 96.4% of mums of new babies and children under 18 worry about what will happen to their children if they suddenly die.
It's the one thing that you never want to think about but you always seem to worry about, according to our recent survey almost every mum that we asked said they worried often about what would happen to their children if they died.
Without beating around the bush, this is what you can do if you suddenly died…. nothing.
If you died right now, there isn't really anything you can do, Don't beat yourself up about it, you'd already be dead as it is! It happens to us all!
"So what can I do to make sure my kids are ok if I suddenly die?"
Depending on your children's ages, there are a few different things that you can do to prepare them for if an emergency happens. Below is an age appropriate guide to let you know what steps you can take to make sure your children would be ok if you suddenly did pass.
Babies to Under 5's:
A child under 5 is irrational and unpredictable at the best of times. They generally have no idea about what death is, or the reality of such. The good news is, if you suddenly died and your child was this age, they are most likely not going to remember much about it. They won't be scarred for life. Sure, they will be missing a vital person in their lives, but they will be able to move past your death easier due to lack of understanding.
In this case, you can prepare by having a buddy system, which is recommended for anyone who has dependants-you could set this up with another mother who lives nearby or a family member-you check in with each other at a similar time every day . It may feel weird contacting someone to check if they're dead but then this also ensures that if the worst did happens someone would know to check on your kids and help in an awful situation.
Children aged over 5:
Teach your child how to use a phone & charger, and have the first phone number in your contacts list be a number for them to call in an emergency. In my phone, we have set emergency contacts such as next of kins and parents with a photo of them, so they know who they are calling if they can't read yet.
Who would get the kids?
If only one parent dies, and the other parent still has parental responsibility, the law usually says that your child would live with them.
If your child's other parent is estranged, they would likely be put with the closest family member to you by social services. The next group of people to ask would be your child's god parents, your close friends and even sometimes neighbours before the government would decide to put your child into foster care.
Writing a will
This is one of those things that we all put off…but if you don't get it done in time .your children's custody could be compromised, or your assets could be in the air for years, leaving a period of instability for your children. There's no real shortcut I would recommend, just as I wouldn't for newborn photography, you want legit, safe and reliable when it comes to your children, find a local solicitor who makes wills and get it done. You will sleep easier, and your family and children will be glad you did it should the worst happen.
How will they remember you?
Something many of my clients have said is that they don't have enough photographs with their children that aren't selfies. Most of my clients are now subscribing to either seasonly or yearly portrait sessions with their children and families (which we store high resolution digital copies of indefinitely, you can put your gallery links in your will also to ensure your family has a copy of all of your family photos taken by us. You can also arrange for us to produce a posthumous slideshow video of your life highlights which could be a beautiful parting gift to your family from you.
Whatever you believe happens after you die, your family will always be so grateful for your existence. The bringer of life. Mamma, you are a goddess.
