Why Refinance A Mortgage?
One particular of the best reasons to refinance is to reduced the interest rate on your existing loan. There are a couple of things that you must consider when you are looking at refinancing your property mortgage loan. And that's that there are costs that come with the procedure — so it is essential to evaluate the fees you could be charged to make certain it's worth it. No matter which strategy you use you will always incur legal fees as a laywer must change the financing on title.
You may possibly have corrected errors in your credit scores, or basically gone for a period of caring meticulously for your credit so that your scores improved. But the tool from the CFPB is an chance to know how to shop for the greatest interest rates, to realize the different loans offered, and to know what it is you are becoming asked to sign. One of the primary benefits of refinancing regardless of equity is reducing an interest price. Speak to a Residence Loan Specialist or use our refinance calculator to see if you have enough equity to reach your monetary targets.
It really is essential to take into account elements such as interest price and how lengthy you program to remain in your property prior to deciding if a house equity loan or CIBC Residence Power Plan is right for you. As noted above, the house refinance approach is really equivalent to the a single you went by way of when getting the mortgage to acquire your property.
If you are stuck in an adjustable rate mortgage and fear the uncertainty of your monthly payments than it would be wise to consider switching over to a low fixed price mortgage. Mortgage refinancing is when you apply for an additional loan to spend off a first mortgage loan that was secured on your property. There are many ways to refinance a home and millions of U.S. home owners are possible eligible for decrease rates and payments.
By means of these two refinancing alternatives much more borrowers will have alternatives to refinance into mortgages that better position them for a successful extended-term homeownership expertise. At times, the length of a house loan can be lowered or stretched out even longer based on the demands of the homeowner and what they are trying to achieve by means of their mortgage refinancing. Frequently occasions, classic lenders have specific programs for folks with negative credit ratings. Think it or not, in some varieties of refinanced mortgages, you have a penalty if you repay the loan early.

Many people love to drink coffee, but they are not always sure how to brew the perfect cup. If you hope to brew that perfect cup of coffee, follow this article. Here, you will find tips that will bring the coffee you drink close to perfection.
You will get a better coffee the more expensive it is. You really do get what's paid for when purchasing coffee, so splurge a little. Choosing less expensive products can often lead to you getting a lesser beverage.
If you drink coffee right, it can actually improve your health. How you prepare your coffee makes a big difference; cream and sugar are generally not ideal. To make it healthier, try using almond milk, honey, or stevia instead of your normal coffee additions.
After making coffee, stir it into the pot. Quickly stirring the coffee will bring out its aroma and flavor. You'll notice how much better the coffee tastes when it's time to drink.
Only use an airtight container to store your favorite coffee in the refrigerator. If it isn't, the food smells will be absorbed and taint the coffee. If you do not store your coffee the right way it might not last.
If you do not like hot coffee or drinks but you do like iced coffee, make it at night and then cool it down overnight in the fridge. In this way, you can have cold coffee that has not been watered down after being poured over ice. Before you put the coffee in the fridge, add any sugar or cream. This way, you can enjoy a great cup of iced coffee the next morning.
Nothing is worse than a horrible tasting cup of coffee. By using the tips that you have read in this article, you can make great coffee with ease. If you apply what you've learned when making your morning brew, it will come out great every time.Copyright 2014 , All rights Reserved.

What does treatment involve?
A traditional Chinese medicine practitioner will ask you questions about your emotional and mental life as well as your physical tr1 symptoms. Knowing whether you are indecisive or have an explosive temper may help him determine what type of gallbladder trouble you're having, for example. He or she may also take your pulse several times, once for each internal organ, andcheck the color and texture of your tongue, and then crafta customized treatment designed to enhance your overall health, rather than zeroing in on an infection or injury.
Over the centuries, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been used to treat countless conditions. Western scientists are still studying its effectiveness for various diseases. Some of the conditions for which TCM is known to be particularly helpful include:
- pain,arthritis
- diabetes and its complications
- high cholesterol, high blood pressure
- male and female fertility disorders
- skin conditions
- digestive disorders (such as irritable bowel syndrome)
- recurrent cystitis (inflammation of the bladder)
- obesity
- headache,stress
- menopause,hormone imbalances
How does it work?
The Chinese believe that acupuncture treatments redirect or unblock the flow of vital energy through your body and t tr2 hat certain herbs soothe over-active organs or strengthen weak ones. Western medicine has its own theories about how acupuncture works -- perhaps by triggering the release of endorphins, natural pain-killers.
For treating musle pain and arthritis conditions, Practitioner may use cupping , moxa, skin scraping ,Tuina massage methods to help body detox and rebuild local circulation for healing.
How safe is it?
It depends on which treatments you use. Acupuncture is quite safe as long as your practitioner uses either properly sterilized or disposable needles to prevent the spread of infection.
Let your acupuncturist know if you are taking aspirin or other painrelievers regularly, since they can exacerbate any minor bruising from the needles.
Herbs are a little more worrisome. Many Chinese herbalists won't tell you exactly what's in . Also, it's a good idea to tell your practitioner about any drugs you're taking, and your doctor about any herbs you're taking, but be aware that no one knows how certain herbs or mixtures of herbs will interact with other drugs.
What is TCM good for?
The conditions that TCM is known to be particularly helpful include:
- Pain ,arthritis
- diabetes and its complications such as retinopathy (damage to the retina located in the back of the eye)
- high cholesterol,high blood presure
- infertility
- over weight
- digestive disorders
- recurrent cystitis (inflammation of the bladder)
- allergies
- sinusitis
- addictions
- menopausal symptoms
- osteoporosis
- arthritis
- infections (respiratory, bladder, vaginal)
- sleep disorders
- stress
- constipation

No Goals = No Growth
If you don't have goals you won't have growth. I find time and again with dental teams - if there are no goals, objectives, or measurement systems in place, profits and productivity stagnate or decline. The situation continues until the doctor is facing a financial crisis that could have been avoided.
In the dental practice there are certain benchmarks, i.e. goals, which effective practices achieve: Collections should be 98% of the dentistry produced. Case acceptance should be at 85%; hygiene should produce 33% of practice production; 85% of emergency patients should be converted to comprehensive exam; and the schedule should have fewer than .5 hygiene openings per day. Although I have seen practices of all types and in virtually every area of the country achieve those benchmarks, it doesn't just happen on its own. Protocols are in place, measurements are established, and in many cases the doctor recognized that s/he could not singlehandedly fix the shortfalls and sought additional help.
With multiple systems in the dental practice all affecting your profitability, determining where to start can be daunting. In some cases, it's easier to look at it in terms of four broad categories: Service, Staff, Profit, and Growth.
One of the most critical reports requiring ongoing careful review is the Unscheduled Treatment Report. This specifies who has unscheduled treatment in the records. In actuality, this report is documentation of revenues waiting to be tapped. In addition, take a close look at the Production by Provider Report each month. This shows the number of each type of procedure performed over a specified period of time. Your business assistant should run this year-to-date report every month for each doctor and hygienist, so they can determine how their production compares with the same time periods last year as well as with production goals that have been established for this year.
Consider new treatment services. Practices that are struggling are likely doing what they've always done, i.e. crowns, fillings, and prophys year-after-year. Dentists who are doing interceptive perio, endodontics, veneers, bleaching, and implants not only expand their patient base and improve their production, but they also renew their professional enthusiasm for dentistry.

Are You Looking Out for Your Brain?
Your brain is a precious resource. Since you're reading this, you were blessed with a good one. Your brain enables you to see. It allows you to learn. Your brain takes in information from your senses, it analyzes that data, and then gives you a plan of what to do, from simple tasks like walking to complex tasks like dentistry. The brain is truly amazing! Through the growing field of neuroscience, we now know more about how it functions. In essence, the brain runs the show and controls just about everything you do.
Although it is a fairly small organ, your brain consumes about 25% of the oxygen you breathe. About 25% of the blood pumped from your heart flows to your brain. Approximately 40% of the nutrients your body uses are consumed by your brain. It is estimated that 80% of your blood glucose goes to feed the brain. In short, your brain soaks up a lot of energy. In the bestseller book, The Power of Full Engagement, author Tony Schwartz (and co-author Jim Loehr) report that the key to peak performance is managing energy, not time. Energy management means alternating intense focus with regular periods of renewal. In short, to perform at your best, you better be refueling regularly.
However, if you are like most people these days, you're probably operating from the 'survival zone' - too much to do and not enough time to do it. With the rising demand of digital technology and the expectation of 24/7 responsiveness, we are increasingly burning our brain and depleting our capacity. When you spend more than you make you will go bankrupt. So too with our brains. The indicators are anxiety, reactivity and defensiveness and poor performance.
Recently, Tony Schwartz asked 160 senior executives at a large bank to complete an energy survey. Here's what he found:
Given these percentages, it's not surprising that the following figures also were reported:
After reading these statistics, it's obvious why our economy is in such poor shape. Having this lifestyle yields short-sighted and ill-developed decisions! Before you dismiss these figures - you're not a banker - let me tell you that the same survey has been given to tens of thousands of leaders across multiple industries and the results are consistently similar. What this points to is a lack of knowledge about how the brain impacts one's energy level.
How well you take care of your brain impacts your ability to think clearly, to make sound decisions, and to live a rewardingly successful life. Protect your most important asset. Take care of your brain. Maximize your brain power by doing the following:
1. Get at least 7 hours of sleep every night. Sleep impacts our capacity to focus attention, store information and remember it. We also have the best access to creative insights for problem-solving when we are fully rested.
2. Take brain breaks. The brain is an energy-intensive organ that is capable of deep thinking, but only for brief periods of time before it needs a break. When you take regular breaks to refuel, you top off the glucose levels in your blood stream. In turn you can make better decisions and solve complex problems more efficiently.
3. Exercise. If you want to look after your brain, you need to keep the body in shape. Regular workouts contribute to increasing your mental health as well as your physical health.
4. Spend time with the people you love. Social connections are key to our wellbeing. Turn off the smart phone and get away from the computer when you are home. Be present and live in the moment, at least some of the time.
5. Self-manage your emotions and be optimistic. The brain refuels when we are happy.
Everything you do, including the thoughts you generate in your mind, impacts your brain health. Take care of your brain and get into the 'performance zone'. Alternate intense focus with regular periods of renewal. Encourage your employees to do the same.

What Does a Hygienist Do? Part II
In my last article, we talked about the role of the hygienist in identifying and promoting necessary restorative treatment. Now we will focus on the identification, education, and performance of periodontal therapy, for both new and recall patients.
As hygienists we have all been faced with the new patient who presents with obvious periodontal needs. If the patient has been appointed with the dentist prior to seeing the hygienist, s/he may have already heard about these problems by the time s/he is in the hygiene chair. Some education has already occurred and the stage has been set for treatment - either a debridement or scaling and root planing. Even when the patient has accepted her/his condition, the situation is still fraught with potential stumbling blocks. Does the patient trust the diagnosis when s/he has not really had much of an opportunity for a relationship with the dentist and practice? Does the patient understand the time commitment that will be required for appropriate therapy to be performed? Does the patient understand that treatment today will not take care of the entire situation? Have fees been presented and is the patient "on board" with the additional cost of perio care? What brought the patient to the office in the first place - and if it was not perio symptoms, when will the patient's primary concern be addressed? These are only a few common issues.
When a patient of record arrives for a "standard adult prophy" and "recall" exam and periodontal disease is identified, there can be even more problems. The patient is used to having a "cleaning" and may be resistant to accepting more in-depth care. S/he may be unhappy that "after coming in all these years, now I have periodontal disease!"
How might we handle these situations?
The New Patient
If the hygienist meets the patient first, the dentist should come to the hygiene room for a preliminary exam and the ordering of radiographs, but then may delegate to her the responsibility of identifying and explaining periodontal conditions and treatment as necessary. This should not be rushed, or the patient may become distrustful. Ample time must be provided to show the patient's photographs, perio charting, and provide other educational materials. The dentist and hygienist need to be on the same page about how the appointment needs to proceed.
The "Recall" Patient
"Periodontal disease is common, but does not always have distinct symptoms. It is an infection and inflammation of the gums, bone, ligaments, and root surfaces of the teeth. It is our job to be on the look-out for the condition, which is why we always examine your gums every time you come in. Here are the probing depths from the last two times you were here, and here are the probing depths today. Remember when I explained that 1-3mm with no bleeding is healthy? Today we see that you have several areas with 4mm and bleeding and several areas with 5mm and bleeding. We know that it is not appropriate to let these areas go. That is why we will need to do scaling and root planing of these inflamed sections, and then put you on a more frequent schedule of maintenance to keep the disease process under control."
The next question is often: "Will my insurance pay for this?" A good response is: "Many plans cover this treatment, but may have limits on frequency. Most plans realize that periodontal treatment is a common need, so they are careful to restrict how often they will cover it. Let's talk with Amy, our treatment coordinator, and see what your plan says. Even if your plan limits payments, it is important that we let you know what you really need. It is our job to try and keep you healthy - it is the insurance plan's job to watch their bottom line."
When perio scaling, root planing and subsequent periodontal maintenance is performed, the patient must be able to perceive a definite difference between these therapies and a standard "cleaning." It goes without saying that the treatments are significantly different. Be sure your patients can see and understand these differences. Identification, education, and performance of periodontal therapy are important aspects of what hygienists do.

As the month is coming to an end I almost forgot to write this review. I have been thinking about signing up for a subscription snack box for a while. I have done much research and was debating about it. There was so many factors to consider including price, shipping fees, how others liked the box, and how much is included in the box. After much research I decided to try Munch Better. Not wanting to waste any more days I rushed onto their website to sign up for the first month.
Munch Better is a healthy snack box company that is based in Canada. The box comes around the 15th of the month and includes 5-8 snacks. The box costs $28 (including shipping) and what stood out the most to me was how the box tried to include products made in Canada.
The August box included the following:
-kale crackers
-seaweed crackers
-kambucha wonder tea
-peanut butter and jelly granola
-larabar (one bite size, one full size bar)
-coconut chips
My favourites for this month were the coconut chips flavoured as Sriracha and the Peanut Butter and Jelly granola. I am not a huge fan of coconut or anything flavoured as coconut, but these chips are amazing! The coconut is there but it is totally doable, the flavour is incredible. The coconut chips are spicy (from the flavour) and sweet (from the coconut) which makes for a wonderful combination. Shamelessly to say, I finished the pack in two days, and bought another one at the grocery store, but they are healthy right? So it's okay?
I was also surprised about the granola. As I opened the pack to add the granola to my yogurt in the morning, I saw pieces of strawberry and peanuts which made it so unique compared to other granolas on the market. Although it did not really taste like peanut butter and jelly the granola was delicious. It was not very sweet (which I liked) and was the perfect treat to my breakfast yogurts this month.
While the box had more likes than dislikes, there was one product that I extremely disliked and that was the sesame seaweed snacks. I like the flavour of sesame and do not have a problem with consuming seaweed. Heck I'm the person eating the 10 bowls of seaweed salad at all you can eat sushi buffets! But this product was very hard to consume. As soon as I opened the pack it had an awful smell and the taste was even worse. I took one bite and could not handle another. On the plus side though, my mother was a big fan of them so they were not wasted.
Overall, my first snack box was an okay box. It contained products that I really enjoyed (coconut chips, granola), products that were okay (kale crackers, larabar) and products that I disliked (seaweed snack, kambucha tea). The element of surprise is what makes the box great, and I am excited to see what my September box will have.
Stick around in September to read about the various products that come with the September box, as I will have a review of it.

Mental Health in the Black Community: Wise words from The Huffington Post
Earlier this month, blogger Krystal Reddick wrote a brilliant piece for The Huffington Post about mental health in the black community. In her piece she encourages her readers to take steps to look after themselves, also known as 'self-care.' Some of the references are only applicable to those living in the USA, but there is a lot of wisdom in what Krystal writes that can be applied to all. Here is an extract from her article.
There is nothing more important than self-care. It is not a sign of weakness to ask for help. We were not meant to soldier on alone. We are part of communities for a reason.
My advice:
- Seek help. See a therapist. Not everyone is willing to take medication; the side effects alone can be a deterrent. But talk therapy is cathartic.
- Use your support network of family and friends. If they aren't willing to help you in your time of need, maybe they aren't real friends anyway.
- Seek out support groups such as Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA), and National Alliance of Mental Illness (NAMI). Each group holds local meetings in a town near you. And there are many others.
- If you need medication, take it, under the supervision of a medical professional.
- Build a life that supports your wellness: Minimize your stress, get your finances in order, make time for leisure, eat healthfully, and remove toxic people from your life.
- If you are spiritual, pray. Seek out your minister, pastor, rabbi, imam or other religious leader.
- Exercise. There is lots of scientific research attesting to the mental-health benefits of exercise. Also, try to maintain a healthy weight. This can be hard for people on psychiatric medications, but try.
- Keep regular appointments with your primary-care doctor. Some psychiatric drugs require monitoring through blood work.
- If you don't have health insurance, seek out charity care. Hospitalizations, psychiatric drugs, and therapy appointments are all very expensive. But don't let the cost deter you from getting the help you need.
- Get adequate amounts of sleep. You can trigger an episode if you do not.
Do not let the stigma stand in the way of getting the help you need. Nothing is more important than making sure that you are sane, healthy and happy.
Wise words indeed. If you or your church would like to find out more about how you can support those with mental health issues, please get in touch.

Well I'm happy to say I survived my first market experience and wasn't nervous at all, just way too excited. Oh boy it was soo much fun.
It's incredible how many talented ladies there are and it's soo lovely seeing all there work in real life. I met lots ofbusinesses I've interacted with on Facebook, it was so great putting faces to the names.
I think one of the most important things to an enjoyable market is having friendly stall neighbours and my neighbours far exceeded lovely.
I loved hearing the feedback of so many customers, complementing my creations, so good to hear that they all love my stuff as much as I do. It is hard though parting with your favourite goods, it's funny how I"ve become so attached to all that I make. I can't wait to do some more markets.

A friend of mine came from Australia recently ( different ones that gave the chocolates!) and brought me home an apron! Happy happy! It's now some sort of tradition that she gets me cute local aprons, which I should actually do for myself, don't I, whenever she travels. I have an apron from Italy, France and now Australia. And these are places I have never been to.
I am actually quite feeling all excited for my birthday and want to ask if there are any nice readers who want to send me a local apron from where they are? 🙂 I promise I would send something back! It would be too cute to have a collection of something from all over the world sent in by people who read my blog 🙂 I mean, I am only one person and use one apron at a time (or not even) but it would be nice to think that these were all randomly given by strangers who will eventually become friends 🙂

Moo Gi Gong is a weapons-based Korean martial art practised by several characters in the DCU, including but not limited to Red Arrow, Black Canary, and possibly Richard Dragon.
While many mistake Moo Gi Gong as a standalone technique it is actually 1/4 of the combat systems comprising the Hwa Rang Do martial art, focussing primarily on the mastery of external objects as weapons. Practitioners of Moo Gi Gong must master 108 different types of weaponry within 20 different categories. Mastery of the 108 weapons of Moo Gi Gong improves one's ability to improvise weapons and (more commonly) predict weapon usage by opponents.
It is interesting to note that Hwa Rang Do, and by extension Moo Gi Gong, is a relatively modern martial art, first appearing less than 40 years ago. In this respect it is more accurately compared to fighting styles such as Sambo or Krav Maga as it foregoes unnecessary flourishes and poses and focuses instead on fast, compact strikes (though Hwa Rang Do is an obscure practice by contrast).

Attack on Titan video game is in production and will be released in 2014, it has been revealed. The game will be based on the popular anime and manga.
This was revealed by Attack on Titan producer George Wada. The anime is currently underway and there have been 13 episodes telecast so far, with plenty more episodes in the pipeline. People who are impatient to know the story can just read the manga as it contains a lot more story elements.
The video game should be based on this as well and the developers are yet to be revealed. Part of me is hoping CyberConnect2 of Asura's Wrath fame develops the game as they are proficient at creating something like this.
The story is about humans and titans who are at war and the titans rule the entire world while the humans are trapped inside a walled enclosure.

Atlantic Packet Albion, 24 x 44 inches
Establishing dark darks and light lights in the tonal range of a painting gives it visual crispness and impact.
A figure or a focus of visual interest (in this case the dark dark on the bow of the ship) is often placed on the right side of a composition, as the eye tends to scan a painting from left to right, which means that an object on the right tends to have greater visual weight. If the ship had been positioned on the left it would give the work a slightly more abrupt and perhaps less pleasing effect. Of course, compositional rules were made to be cleverly broken. The dark dark feature is also located in a golden mean "sweet spot".

A revolution for the next iOS 13.
Here I try to predict and imagine the possible changes in iOS, if only Apple pushes for a big leap in one release: more gestures, contextual SIRI and one more thing…
Several rumors already indicated an ambitious change in the UI for the current iOS 12 release. A change that was postponed by Apple to focus on optimising performance and fixing bugs, that affected the previous release.
Now, many analysts expect this "revolution" for iOS version rev. 13.
What better chance to imagine and design an improved iOS?
This article talks about: a new organization of the screens for the next iOS and an increase and consolidation of the gesture.
It seems little stuff but hardly Apple will implement everything in a release.
The current situation: iOS12
I will focus on smartphones. To date Apple has a list of smartphones with a "traditional" design such as iPhone 7/8, and the smartphones of new generation: iPhone X, Xr, Xs, sign that a transition from an interface with the home button is in progress, towards a UI based on gestures.
The traditional iPhone
iPhone 7/8 has the home button — virtual, but perceived as a physical key — and the iOS UI is localised to work with it: to go back to the "home screen", to call up multitasking, to ask SIRI and finally to unlock with imprints, the HOME button is central.
Reassuring, comfortable, refined after years of "gradual iterations", the iOS 12 in traditional iPhones is a design-problem-solved: using it you have the feeling that everything has been tested, finished, and discarded alternatives (like virtual buttons on screen).
In addition, the utility menu is called with a convenient swipe from the bottom edge, always reachable by the user's thumb. A very convenient choice certainly better than the original menu of Android (which is inspired) that instead refers to the upper edge, with great discomfort.
The "revolutionary" iPhone
In 2017, Apple presents iPhone X, the highly anticipated iPhone of the decade, with a new UI without the home button, and with other new pioneering features such as Face ID — much, much more secure than a fingerprint — .
These new models, the iPhone X, iPhone Xr and iPhone Xs (with related versions enlarged) have a different UI, redesigned to work without the home button, and adapted to the new format 18: 9 with that notch.
From the UI point of view the function of returning to the Home screen is done with a "long, fast" swipe from the bottom edge, while if you pause your thumb, you switch to the multitasking screen.
There are two tasks entrusted to the same gesture, but Apple has performed so well that you hardly get wrong. (Even if you must stop for a moment to think about it, though).
As a result of this, the practical and perfect Control Center that was called from the bottom has been moved up: indeed, at the top, to the right of the notch, while on the left there is the notification screen (which resembles the Lock screen but it's not the Lock screen, but we'll see later).
Even in this case Apple has entrusted two tasks to the same gesture, but thanks to the notch in the middle to act as a separator, it is difficult to get it wrong.
Some inconsistencies remained…
The current iOS is optimised and solid, perfected over the years, however, looking at it — especially on iPhone X — some small inconsistencies remain:
- the current screen of the Notification Center looks like the Lock Screen with the clock etc, but it is not: so much so that it was necessary put the title "Notification Center" above. By swiping down from Home Screen, it may seem that we are recalling the Lock Screen and locking the phone, but it does not.
- in fact, in the Lock Screen we see often different notifications than the Notification Center, which can show more items
- the old search screen on the left, hosts widgets from some releases, but seems neglected. And the widgets deserve more visibility. The search can also be called with a "drag down" made by any other screen…
A duplicate that sometimes activates accidentally.
And now?
Many expect a revolution from Cupertino: it is likely that the transition of iOS towards a solidly "gesture based" UI will probably be completed in 1–2 years, with the addition of side swipes. On closer inspection it would not be a revolution but still an iteration / improvement.
A post-app world
That's why the mockup of minodesign goes further, trying to imagine and anticipate the way in which the smartphones will be used in the '20s: prepare for a "post-app" world and even a little "post-tap".
The apps will always exist, but because of their proliferation and the existence of multiple competitors for the same purpose — for example social media channels— the importance of the single app will be less, and the purpose of the UI will be to show the user the content in front of the icons of the app themselves. The user must be able to browse the contents coming from his channels — social, traditional SMS messages, Email, notifications — even without opening individual apps.
Have you noticed that, at the end of the day, you end up reviewing, one after the other, sequentially, the notifications of IG, then the notifications of FB, then the emails etc? The informations are in watertight compartments!
Of course, the owners of the social networks brands will not be happy — first Zuckemberg who closed the XMPP APIs of Wattsapp and Messenger — , but as said the role of the individual social will be downsized, also due to the continuous scandals related to privacy.
"The user must be able to browse the contents coming from his channels even without opening individual apps."
A post-tap world
Reply to the messages, forward an email arrived, everything that is shown in the new main screen will be more easily "manipulated" by SIRI (a Siri rev.3!).
In general, we will touch the smartphones less. But not in the sense that we will use them less, we will do less tap!
It is likely that the eye tracking technology will be used to help SIRI understand what we are talking about right away, and the new, more efficient processors will allow SIRI to run offline, with excellent positive privacy implications.
Let's back to iOS 13: as a result of this the smartphone becomes more a screen than a panel.
This translated into UI means: content on top, fullscreen apps and fewer buttons, less screens.
iOS13, early sketches
As mentioned, the content and informations become central and the apps, secondary. Here is the new layout of the screens with:
- the New Home Screen that hosts widgets, content and notifications.
- the App Screens located on the right
- the new Multitasking & Search screen (it's on the left but on a different 3D level)
- the Control Center, at the top right side(it remained there…)
- the Lock Screen, now on top left side
The screens are obtained by swipe from the edges.
The general scheme is shown below, and the gestures refer to the Home Screen.
Other details: the New Home Screen hosts widgets, which make sense to them in iOS, and they become visible. It is also possible to insert customisable blanks, for those who want a more minimalist design.
Content and content notifications start at the bottom of the screen.
They are listed in anti-chronological order, but they can be filtered in some way. (Taller screens now allow this layout, that was undoable at old times).
Note, notifications are listed as a log, and they do not disappear if you click! Currently notifications are lost when you click, and sometimes it can be useful to see them again.
In the New Home Screen, the 4 basic icons are hidden and appears with a swipe up from the bottom edge.
The app screens
No particular changes there, the screens are to the right of the home, and are created automatically according to the app. The 4 apps in the dock are normally visible.
The possibility of adding empty spaces would be a minor but pleasant improvement
Multitasking & Search
The screen on the left is in practice dedicated to effectively showing active processes, and has a search field at the bottom, where it can be reached with a one-hand-grip.
In the drawing below there is an improved version that features active processes such as "Solitaire game cards", so that they are all visible and clickable without scrolling.
A more stunning SIRI button could increase its use.
The swipe-from-bottom gestures remain unchanged, now assimilated by the user base: a long swipe up to go back to the home, or a swipe up pause to go to the New Multitasking & Search screen.
One more gesture
Two other gestures could be added:
- swipe right, made from the left edge, leads to the Multitasking & Search screen, while
- swipe left, made from the right edge, directly access the first of the app screens.
Pro & cons
These last two new gestures could weaken the current side swipe gestures that iOS currently devotes in order to move forward or backward in a stack of pages. (For example in Safari: swipe right to go back)
The current forward / back function may remain, weakened as "drag left", or "drag right", ie working in the central parts of the window.
These last two gestures would complete the transition of iOS to a gesture-based UI. Certainly must to be assimilated by the users, but how it happened for the Nokia N9 — a phone from which Apple is drawing much — once learned, this improve the User experience!
(The N9 was a smartphone by Nokia pre-MSFT that, in 2011 had a nearly perfect swipe based User Interface, I written something about it.)
I hope you enjoyed the article and the first drawings.
Usually I write similar articles, but talking about niche operating systems like Sailfish and Meego and cult objects like the Nokia N9.
In this article I go back after months on a more mainstream topic, like iOS (and Apple). The article will be updated and edited in next weeks, and a navigable mockup will arrive soon.

Filthy Loofah
Who knew that using loofah for a longer period of time could be so hazardous for our health ? The only thing you thought was giving you a clean and silky skin, was actually a breeding ground for pathogenic bacteria species.
They aren't the shower saviors they seems to be. That's because the dead skin cells get tangled in the nooks and crannies of the loofah after you use it to scrub your skin.
You put them in wet shower environment which is warm and moist, and by doing that you create a perfect set up for bacteria such as yeast and mold, and all of that in one single loofah.
A study published in the Journal Of Clinical Microbiology found that they host a wide range of bacterial species. Bacteria overgrowth literally happens overnight.
But wait, it gets worse.
If you use the germ-filled one over your just-shaved skin, bacteria have a chance to slide into wide open pores, which can lead to irritation and infection. That's why dermatologists would recommend not using a loofah sponge.
What To Do?
Start by replacing them more frequently. Every three to four weeks for the natural type and every two months for a plastic pouf.
If you push that timeline up, the second you'll notice will be spots of mold growing on them and they will start to develop a musty, mildew smell.
To make them last longer, don't leave them in the shower where the moist environment encourages bacteria to grow. Instead, let them dry somewhere where it's less humid, such as by an open window.
If it's made from a real loofah plant (and not plastic one), you can also disinfect it by bleach.
You can soak it in a diluted bleach solution for five minutes once a week. Still, if you leave it in the shower, it'll be just as nasty as the loofah.
You can also throw it in the laundry after use, so it's shape doesn't give bacteria the chance to get trapped.
Advice: change the loofah regularly. It is much healthier and better!

Joseph Cornell exhibition (now ended) Wanderlust, at the Royal Academy.
One of the most striking things about it was the sense of how open to the world Cornell's work was. For all its apparently hermetic aspects (of which there are many), I still left with the sense that his practice was fundamentally centripetal, making connections outwards, and that too much of the work influenced by him has mistaken this for something centrifugal, making more and more connections among an ever-more tightly circumscribed set of artists and artworks. (Much of the later work of John Zorn comes to mind here.)
There was a certain frustration at not being able to interact with the objects. As wonderful as it was to see them up close, so many of them explicitly ask to be handled and manipulated that seeing them in the flesh gave the odd sense that one loses much less in reproduction than one would have thought: if you can't pick them up and move the parts around, it makes very little difference whether one is a foot away from the original object, withdrawn behind glass, or looking at a photograph or video.
Generally I found the non-box collages less striking than the boxes (with the exception of 'The Sorrows of Young Werther', which is very strong), and the films were excellent and refreshingly accentuated Cornell's sense of humour. The narratives he sometimes hints at were also intriguing. I want to know more about Berenice.

Lie like a dog, p.1
Lie Like a Dog,
Lie Like a Dog
Richard Diedrichs
Copyright 2014
Sandy and his brother went over their plan as they lay in the dark, eight feet apart, in twin beds.
"You lift the screen and I'll throw it against the house," Sandy whispered.
"I want to throw it," Chris whined.
"Shusha. Keep your voice down. You throw the next one. It's my balloon."
"Okay," Chris said and kicked off his covers.
"Wait. I'll go fill it." Sandy walked to the door, pinching and pulling the top of the balloon until it squealed.
"Shusha," Chris called.
Sandy stuck his head into the hall. He saw nothing but shadow fifteen feet down to the door at the end. From the other side of the door, he heard muffled voices from the television in the living room. He felt sure his father was asleep in his recliner. He could not be sure about his mother. She could be anywhere, in the kitchen, in the den, in her bedroom. She roamed the house like a panther, and pounced when Sandy least expected.
Sandy hurried on tiptoe into the bathroom and locked the door. He flushed the toilet and wrapped the balloon's mouth around the faucet's chrome mouth in the sink. He filled the balloon with cold water, and tied the end, like his father had taught him. He pulled the end over his index finger, under and through, to make a knot. It was harder to do wet. He got it after three tries.
When he finished, Sandy looked at himself in the mirror. Although he had been in bed for only a few minutes, his blonde hair stood up in all directions, looking as if a rabbit had scurried through it. His pupils covered almost all of his blue eyes. He bared his crooked front teeth in a snarl. He looked like a spooked rabbit. He switched off the light.
With the wet balloon pressed against his skin, inside his pajama shirt, Sandy stuck his head back out the door. He heard the same sounds from the front room. He hurried back through the shadowy hall, expecting his mother to jump out and scare him. He lunged into his bedroom and pulled the door closed. He kept the light off.
"Okay. The screen," he ordered Chris.
Chris jumped on Sandy's bed, under the window. He raised the shade and released the screen from the bottom. Sandy squeezed by him, and lifted his head and shoulders out the window. He held the window sill with one hand and the slick, bulging balloon with the other. He looked at the Randolphs' house next door, about twenty feet away. There were a couple feet of stucco wall between their back door and kitchen window. The porch light was out, but the kitchen was lit. Sandy turned his head to each side. To his right, his backyard lay quiet in the dark. To his left, an eight-foot cinderblock wall divided the back and front yards. Sandy could just see the street. Nothing moved along Shadycove Drive, although he thought he heard voices somewhere beyond the wall.
Sandy raised the balloon as high as he could, his body pointing headfirst out of the window, like a bowsprit on a boat. He aimed with his eye at the Randolphs' wall. With his elbow locked in an "L," he brought his arm forward and launched the balloon. Wobbly, lopsided, and slippery, the bulbous missile sailed on a low arc, hooking right. Sandy grabbed each side of the window frame to steady himself. He heard glass smashing.
"Geez!" Chris said behind him and ducked down.
Sandy saw the shattered kitchen window to the right of the porch. Shards of glass hung in the frame. Sandy struggled to pull himself back into the room. He knew somebody would be out to see what happened. A force ran through his body and he felt light and quick. He drew his head and shoulders inside and stood on the pillow at the head of his bed. He reached for the cord on the window shade. He pulled it down quickly, and it slipped and snapped out of his wet hand. The shade flew to the top of the window sash with a bang.
He reached for it again, as the Randolphs' back porch light flicked on. Ann Randolph appeared in the doorway, her dark hair spread over the shoulders of her white robe. She looked across at Sandy standing in the window in his pajamas. She put her hand above her eyes to block the glare, and squinted. Sandy dropped to his knees on his bed. He couldn't disappear. She had seen him. He put his head back out the window.
"What happened?" he said, in a hoarse whisper, loud enough for her to hear.
"What's going on?" Ann asked, watching Sandy.
"Some kids, I think," Sandy said. "I heard voices. They must have run."
Ann blinked her eyes and waited.
"I think it was Jackie Armstrong," Sandy offered, rather than suffer the silence. He didn't know why he said it, besides the fact that he hated Jackie Armstrong. Armstrong was the neighborhood bully, and always in trouble. He had beat up Ann's kids. She would believe it.
Ann looked out toward the street and shook her head, her black hair swinging around her shoulders. "It's all wet. I hope it's water," she said. She stared at Sandy. "Are you sure about this?"
Sandy heard a loud motorcycle speed down the street beyond the wall. "It was Armstrong," he said, "I think."
Ann stepped back into her house, closed the door, and snapped off the light. Again, it was dark between the houses. As Sandy turned around, he noticed that the light was on in his room. His mother stood in the doorway. She stared at him, her fists on her hips.
"What's going on?" she asked.
Chris lifted his head out of his covers, blinking his eyes like a dug-up gopher. "What?" he said.
"What's going on?" Sandy's mother asked again.
Sandy stood on his pillow, his back to the darkness. He hid his wet hands behind him. "Someone broke the Randolphs' window," he said. "Water balloon."
"Someone?" his mother said, walking to his bed.
The screen flapped against the bare open window.
"Close it and pull down the shade," his mother said.
Sandy did what he was told. He turned back, and fell to his knees, covering the water drops on his pillow.
"And who would that someone be?" His mother pushed against his bed with her legs. She took off her glasses and put them in her pants pocket. Her hands went back on her hips.
Sandy could smell her flowery perfume.
"Jackie Armstrong," he said. "I think I heard his voice."
"How do you know it was a water balloon?" Sandy felt his mother's glare on him, like a cat on a moth.
"That's what Ann said. I was talking to her." Sandy stole a glance at Chris, who was looking at his mother with his mouth open and his eyes the size of Frisbees.
"She said to you, 'Someone broke my window with a water balloon'?"
"I think so," Sandy said. "I don't know. I guess there was water all over the place. Or she hoped it was water."
His mother watched him, with one eyebrow raised, her mouth twisted in a figure eight. "Did you guys break the window?" she said.
Sandy felt his mother look right through him. He couldn't go back now. He said, "No, I told you. It was Armstrong."
"Mom, please. Why don't you believe me?" Sandy could not remember lying to his mother before, not this big, not to her face. He brushed his hand through his sweaty hair. He gulped a couple of times to keep everything down. He knew his mother knew. She stood waiting, with a tired, disappointed look on her face.
Chris stayed quiet. Across the room, only his raccoon-shadowed eyes showed over his bedcovers. Sandy threw a glance at him. Chris's look told him that he was safe. If his brother was mad at him, he would have given him up. Sandy knew he would have to keep Chris happy. He didn't see any choice.
As he and his moth
"Why don't you tell her?" Chris whispered. "She's going to find out."
"I already told her I didn't do it."
"You're going to get in more trouble," Chris said.
"You did this, too. It's not just me."
"It wasn't my balloon, I didn't throw it, and I didn't lie about it."
"Shut up." Sandy got into his bed. He lay on his back, waiting. It was like looking up at the blade of the guillotine.
"You'd better shut up, or I'm telling," Chris said.
They both stopped talking when they heard the floor creaking in the hall. Their mother came in the room.
"Ann Randolph called. She wants to know what's going on." Sandy's mother stood in the same spot, her legs up against his bed, looking into his face. Sandy pushed the back of his head deeper into his pillow. He wished he could pull the covers up over his head, and go to sleep. He felt exhausted. He wished he had never got that balloon from his friend, Ricky. He wished he had never thought of throwing it against the Randolphs' house. If he had given it to his brother, Chris probably would have popped it. And Sandy wouldn't have this problem.
"How do I know what's going on?" Sandy heard his own voice rise and crack. He was afraid he might start crying. He talked

We LOVE the aquarium…our whole family that is! Sea life is so amazing. We are annual members of the North Carolina Aquariums as well as Sea World to support sea life studies and animal rehabilitation/rescue. I think McKenna loves the aquarium too. I had so much fun putting this together and reflected on it and why it was so special over on my blog HERE.
She even brought her sketchbook to do some doodling while she visited. Her favorite marine life animals were the orcas. Did you know that they are from the dolphin family and live in pods that are a lot like our human families. She got a stuffed orca on the way out. I actually sewed this orca with felt from Kunin Group, our fabulous sponsor this week! I used the felt to create the shark banner too!
I used a pattern from the book Sewing Tales to Stitch and Love by Kerry Goulder to make the whales. It is an awesome book full of fantastic patterns.
Then I set them up in an aquarium with fishing string.
Here is a super fun little printable too if you want to create some aquarium fun with your dolls. You can download it HERE.
Happy Creating and Learning,

Neither the markings nor the color of your mid-2012 MacBook Pro USB ports matter. They are 3.0 ports, which you can check on using System Profiler. However, connecting a 2.0 device will configure them as 2.0 ports and connecting a 3.0 device using a 2.0 cable will do the same. Use the link below to read all the details.

What made the story more compelling to me was the realization that those events happened hundreds of years ago yet the drama and the issues that they faced were very similar to what we face now. Michelangelo had family issues, pressure from the pope, felt jealous toward other artists and at one time or the other felt he is not capable of the commission. Who does not have those in today's world? The attitude of perseverance no matter how much you do not agree with your patron (the pope) - and in Pope Julius II's case - the unwavering belief that Michelangelo is the only one who can deliver. There would be no Sistine Chapel if there was no Pope Julius II and no Michelangelo.
Aside from too many names, places and a lot of technical explanations on how fresco painting was done - I still enjoyed the book. I just wished there were also colored photos of the Sistine Chapel.
Worth my time.

Guest Chef: Chef Dakota Weiss
Born and raised in Lancaster, California, Weiss' love for cooking began at a young age and credits her mother, suspense novelist Charmaine Coimbria, for introducing her to the kitchen. She spent her mornings picking fresh produce from her mother's organic orchard and spending time with her in the kitchen before moving to Santa Fe, New Mexico when she was 12. While taking classes at New Mexico State University, Weiss realized she had no passion for the subjects she was taking and decided to pursue what she loves to do most, cooking. She attended and graduated at the top her class from Scottsdale Culinary Institute in 1997. She took up employment at Coyote Caf� under the direction of Executive Chef Jeff Drew where she spent three years cultivating her craft. Filled with ambition, Weiss moved to Atlanta, Georgia to study under the strict and sophisticated guidelines of Executive Chef Bruno Menard at the Ritz-Carlton in Buckhead. This was Weiss' first experience working with sophisticated ingredients and upscale menus. She credits Chef Menard for her passion as he taught her to use all of her senses including her eyes, nose and heart and not just her taste buds when developing a menu. Here, she made a name for herself and perfected her use of fresh ingredients and creating beautifully plated dishes. Soon after, she returned to Southern California to become the Executive Chef at Jer-ne at Ritz-Carlton, Marina Del Rey and continued her quest for knowledge to Sunset Tower Hotel's Tower Bar. The free-spirited Weiss constantly looked for more challenges and moved to Philadelphia to help open Stephen Starr's Parc Restaurant. Although she was constantly on the move, her heart always belonged to Southern California. Her persistence to return to her hometown and extraordinary talent helped her become Executive Chef at Hotel Shangri-La in Santa Monica, California in 2009.
For more than 12 years, French-trained Weiss has showcased her talent for creating global cuisine that utilizes locally grown, organic ingredients. She has an addiction to scouring the Farmer's Market looking for the best and the freshest ingredients. She believes in bold tastes, but is committed to unique, yet simple and light dishes. As the Executive Chef at W Los Angeles -- Westwood, Chef Weiss oversees all kitchen operations for the hotel including renowned restaurants, NINETHIRTY and The Backyard, managed by Choice Hospitality Group.

Having a hard time of it lately. My bouts of sadness and depression are magnified by a family crisis. The overall morose feelings have made me not very fun to be around. I'd call this a drinking day. Compound all my feeling and add a very horrible sore throat. Yeah, my crying jags are coming more often. I cry over every single little thing today. I try adding to my novel-to my fanfiction- to anything and I end up with nothing. Just staring at the screen trying to figure out what the hell am I doing. I'm more than likely going internet/email free the next week. I need to figure out what I'm going to do. Maybe more than a week. I just need to get my act together…so to speak.

I love celebrating with my kids but I can't break the bank every holiday. This Halloween my daughter asked to have some friends over for a movie viewing of The Great Charlie Brown Pumpkin and some more Halloween fun! Today I'm sharing my budget friendly kids halloween party with you!
budget friendly kids halloween party
Whenever I throw a kids party I think about what activities will keep them busy and that they will love doing! I've thrown a lot of kids parties in my 5 years of being a mom and I've learned the hard way to keep them busy or they will keep themselves busy. And I want them staying off my couch and out of my bedroom.
Kids Festivities
For this my budget friendly kids halloween party my oldest daughter wanted to help plan the festivities. She had some good ideas too! We decided on watching The Great Charlie Brown Pumpkin. Every movie night needs popcorn! I found a huge bag of popcorn and some cute little cups for them to scoop the popcorn up with. The cups are at Walmart for 4 for $1. I bought 3 sets.
After the movie, we will be decorating cookies. I love seeing their little imagination at work and the kids get so excited to eat what they have created. I don't have time to slay away in the kitchen baking cookies and getting cute things to decorate them with. You can simplify things by buying a pre-made kit for $8! It comes with 16 cookies, icing and sprinkles. Great trade off if you ask me, less time in the kitchen and the kids still get to have fun.
The last thing we will do is bust open a bat piñata! I found this cute bat piñata for $12.88 at Walmart. I was going to buy a pumpkin online but found this cutie when I was shopping for decorations. Filling it with candy only isn't my thing. I plan to fill it with some candy and lots of halloween trinkets. Slime, bubbles, pencils, and bouncing balls will all be a hit!
Budget Friendly Kids Halloween Party Decor
For the decor I like to keep it budget friendly. First I search my pantry for items that I can use. Last year I bought black cake stands and I received a bunch of white platters from our wedding registry so I pull those out for every event. The black cake stands are perfect for halloween and the white platters balance the black table cloth.
I found cute banners and wall hangings at Walmart for $1 & $3. The black and green poofs were also only $1 each. The tablecloth, plates & napkins were also only $1. I have had a floor length white tablecloth for a few years now and I want to keep it nice. Buying a themed plastic tablecloth is a cost effective item and when the party is over it helps for easy clean up. I don't care what's been spilled on it, if it's been torn or something else happened because it served its purpose: protect the nice tablecloth 🙂
One of my favorite decor items are these glittery pumpkin confetti pieces!!! How cute are they? I also love how they tie in the glitter Halloween banner above the table.
I had a little helper when I was putting together this party! Isn't she a cutie!!!
I hope you are inspired to throw your own budget friendly kids halloween party! Share your parties with me in the comments below and feel free to ask me any questions.
