Photography is an art of making images. For over a century this art has captured the imagination of millions of people world wide, sparking interests in various aspects of life, people, nature and man. Landscape photography is an offspring of curious nature lovers, looking to capture nature, in its divine grandeur. Like all forms of photography, making landscape pictures is simple if you follow some basic guidelines.
Maximize Depth of Field
Landscapes pan across a distance and that is why it is essential to maximize the depth of field used. This captures wider details of an image making the image more real and life like. The simplest way to do this is to use a smaller aperture, while compensating with a higher ISO and slower shutter speed.
Use a Tripod
With slower shutter speeds, it is absolutely necessary to use a good tripod. No matter how stable your grip, your photos will have a shake beyond 1 /8 s. Lower shutter speeds can help you get the ghost effect in pictures that have flowing water or moving mist. You should consider a wireless or trigger remote to click your landscape pictures.
Good composition
Of course, no photo is complete without a story. Always have a centre of focus in your picture. It gives the picture meaning and adds the magic to the vast expanse of the image. Try capturing the focus of the image in one-third of the image space. This guides viewers along the photograph and helps in identifying the focus clearly. This is commonly known as the Rule of the Thirds.
Any photograph is about the elements. They can be lines, skies, clouds or simply arcs; any definite shape or forms that help highlight the focus of the image. The natural patterns seen in clouds or the outlines of mountains in the sun, never fail to enamour the human senses.
Shoot during the Golden period
Play of light, is fundamental to photography. It defines the moods, the environment and provides a sense of time to images. For landscape photography, shooting during dawn and dusk gives the best lighting conditions. This period of time is known as the Golden period because it has diffused sunlight, perfect for landscape photography.
Following all the above tips will surely help you click amazing landscape photos.

Paul Holmes 17 Jul 2011 // 2:25PM GMT
If I was going to give News Corp a grade for its crisis communications efforts during the first week of its phone hacking crisis—during which it insulated those responsible for the ethical lapses from any consequences while making sure innocent rank-and-file employees were sacrificed—it would have been an F. The company didn't start the second week much better, although alarmingly it seemed to think everything was going swimmingly. In midweek Rupert Murdoch provided the News Corp owned Wall Street Journal with an exclusive press release/interview in which he graded his own performance. The company had handled the crisis "extremely well in every way possible," he told stenographer/reporter Bruce Orwall, although he did concede a few "minor mistakes." Evidence that Murdoch did not believe his own bullshit, however, became clear when The Holmes Report's Arun Sudhaman was the first to report that News Corp has brought in Edelman to help it through the crisis. There's no way to know whether there was a cause-and-effect relationship, but there's also no question that by the end of the week there were indications that the beleaguered media giant was getting its public relations act together. First, it accepted the resignation of News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks, editor of The News of the World at the time it was hacking the voice mail of a dead teenage girl, who is reportedly—as I write this blog post—under arrest in London. Then the company issued a frenzy of apologies: Rupert Murdoch made an apology to the family of the teenaged girl, while James Murdoch announced that the company would be running ads in the UK Sunday papers saying sorry for "serious wrongdoing." And finally, the two Murdochs reversed their initial obstructionism, announcing that they would attend a parliamentary select committee looking into the company's crimes. It is obviously far too early to say that News Corp has turned the corner. For one thing, it seems almost certain that there are more damaging revelations to come. Rival media, politicians, and law enforcement agencies are now all pulling on the thread that The Guardian started to unravel, and there's clearly the potential for the crisis to spread to other markets. For another thing, the News Corp executives currently in custody will be under tremendous pressure to roll over on their bosses. And next week's hearings have the potential to produce a Murdoch "Jack Nicholson moment." Like Nicholson's Colonel Jessep in A Few Good Men, Murdoch will be asked whether he authorized the illegal behavior at his UK titles—in which case he's responsible—or whether he lacked the ability to control his "troops," in which case his reputation as a strong, authoritative leader will be left in tatters. Meanwhile, I can't help wondering when the brightest spotlight is going to shift from News Corp to the Metropolitan police. After all, a corrupt newspaper is a scandal, but a corrupt police force is a genuine threat to liberty and democracy, and stories like this leave little room for doubt that London's police force was corrupt to its core. That may be the most helpful thing the media giant has going for it.

United States Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) recognizes that there are a lot of things that fall underneath the "umbrella" of infrastructure.
"So much of our national energy production and refining capacity are concentrated in this area that make it important for us to invest in infrastructure. It's not just roads and bridges," Sen. Cornyn observed at CERAWeek by IHS Markit, held recently in Houston, Texas. Ports of entry, particularly between Texas and Mexico, should be upgraded and modernized "so legitimate trade and commerce can flow more freely," he added.
U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) joined Sen. Cornyn at CERAWeek on a panel titled "What's Ahead in Washington?" Dr. Daniel Yergin, Vice Chairman of IHS Markit and Chair of CERAWeek moderated the discussion.

|6th March 1982
|Place of Birth:
|Tepatitlan, Jalisco, Mexico
|Painting Style:
|Mouth Painter
|Member of MFPA since:
was born on March 6, 1982 in Tepatitlán de Morelos, Jalisco. My parents
are Antonio Nuño Hernández and María Sánchez Romero.I am the ninth
daughter of a family of nine and I was born with progressive Muscular
Dystrophy. For a while, I was able to move around on my knees but,
before turning 9, it became necessary for me to use a wheelchair. I was
raised in a community called San Agustín, Municipality of Tototlán. I
started studying like all kids at the age of 1, even though at times,
this had to be postponed due to my condition. As time went by, I
finished my preparatory studies with a semi-traditional school
curriculum. I did my schooling in the following institutions:
Niños Héroes in San Agustín, Municipality of Tototlán
René Nucamendi Sánchez in Tepatitlán
Juan Escutia School in Tepatitlán.High School
In Juan Villalpando School.College Preparatory courses: At CEAL (Center of Studies Alteños) with a semi-traditional curriculum.
I remember when in 1991 Mr. José Moreno Hernández (deceased) would tell me with enthusiasm that he could teach me to paint with my mouth, an idea that I was reluctant to accept; so, he continued trying for a long time. Every time I would visit he would encourage me. Finally in 1996, after much encouragement, I started to learn how to sketch with him. My brothers were already painting with their mouths and doing very well. I liked their work very much. The end result was that I was accepted to the Association of Mouth and Foot Painting Artists in 1998. After Mr. John Grepe took my first piece of work so I could apply as a grantee of the Association, I felt very sad. It seemed as though he had taken a part of me, an indispensable member, but the great reward was my acceptance. Then a felt realized, a valuable person with an important activity. I started feeling capable of doing something valuable, concluding that I had dignity and that I would be the first to show it to society.We should always feel proud of showing our art. I have held exhibitions in the Federal District, in Guadalajara, Tonalá, Ocotlán, Tepatitlán, Arandas and La Barca Jalisco. We´ve had showings in Atotonilco and Arandas. In the year 2000 I started studying painting and drawing in Ocotlán, and continue to do so, with Prof. Rubén Zavala, who is also a member of the Association. I took a short course in the Cabañas Institute; I have knowledge of oil on fabric, brown on paper, water colors, Chinese ink and carbon paper techniques.I was given an award in 2003 in Guadalajara at the Hilton Hotel, together with all the painters from Jalisco and other locals such as Lorena Ochoa, as an example. The award was called "Pedro Sarquis Merrewe". This same year I participated in a contest in Degollado Jalisco representing my secondary school, Juan Villalpando, and I won first place receiving a medal. I finished a picture in two and a half hours during this contest.
In December of 2005 I was given the Young award in Tepatitlán de Morelos Jalisco, for standing out as a painter and the development I´ve had as a disabled person.I have to mention that in 2003 a group was formed to provide emotional support for disabled persons and I was the founder of this movement. This has helped me to promote my work as well as the Association. The group is named fraternity of sick people or with disabilities of Tepatitlán. I know that I will find more artists here for this Association.In 2006 we suffered the loss of my sister Felicitas Nuño, who left a mark in our lives. She also left us many life examples since she was also a great painter.In November 2008 and April 2009 my brother Antonio and I taught two workshops requested by the Municipal Government. The program was called "Rescate de Parques y Jardines" (Rescue of Parks and Gardens) and 150 students took part in them. The government donated the material and we imparted clases in drawing, brown over paper and water painting.In December 2008 we were awarded recognition at the state level.We have been interviewed by newspapers and local magazines such as the magazine Desarrollo Social (Social Development), the newspaper Ocho Columnas (Eight Columns) and television stations such as Alteña and TV Azteca.I give thanks to God for the gift of this grand family, a mission in this life and, thanks to the Association of Mouth and Foot Painting Artists I have a positive attitude about life and I can show my creativity. The only wish I have is to improve myself daily to be a better person and a good artist.My motto will always be: "you will reach your goals only if you put forth your best effort".

Key lessons
The 3 main lessons learnt are:
1. Build partnerships from the beginning:
Engage stakeholders at the planning stage to generate a strongers sense of ownership and mutual benefit, to give them time to consider new approaches and allow them to provide input to broaden the reach of the campaign.
"It is very important to contact all the relevant stakeholders from the very beginning of the project and set the roots of a fruitful collaboration. Their active involvement from the beginning will generate a sense of ownership leading to better coordination and more successful implementation of the planned activities. This, can also provide sustainability of the project's goals and outcomes and further exploitation by the stakeholders."
Partner ESC
"[Building partnerships from the beginning] was very important for the project in Aveiro. From the beginning there were made contacts with the Local Parishes, the Shopkeepers Association, the local Professional School, the Agency of Economic Development of the City Centre. All these partners became important later on in different phases of the project"
Partner Aveiro.
2. Build momentum:
Engage the willing at first and aim to attract others with the subccess of early efforts or sense of social expectation. Stakeholders will join in the activity and recognise the benefits if everyone else is doing it, for example, shopowners on the same street or plaza.
"It is not easy to see far into the future, positive effects grow with time."
Partner Koprivnica
3. Promote additional benefits:
At the work challenges, participants enjoyed the broader networking opportunities to meet new business partners and customers, the friendly rivalry between companies to build morale and the time to foster better internal relationships.
"In convincing stakeholders don't ask what you can do for active mobility but what active mobility can do for you"

My products are store in an external source. Can I use the shopping cart without using Kentico to manage my products (skus)? Use just the cart function to track orders and etc...
Thanks David
You sort of can, it's fairly common to have a product store already outside of Kentico. In these scenarios, you need to keep copied of your products in Kentico and create an integration task to keep Kentico's store of information up to date. This is because the Kentico API in the basket and checkout etc are all very dependant on the teh product data existing in Kentico. You certainly could do alot of modification here to make the checkout process work etc, but by that point - quite frankly - you amy as well write your own bespoke ecommerce module.
Juts because you have the products in Kentico as well, doe not mean you ned to manage them in here. You still end up storing some product content in Kentico, but your external system does all of the management and simply take updated form your integration work.
Please, sign in to be able to submit a new answer.

In the words of Blur - Monday, Monday here again! It certainly comes round quick every week! BUT to brighten up your Monday we have a fab new challenge starting over at The Cutie Pie Challenge. Our theme this week to go along with your cute image is 'Five of a Kind' and we'd love you to join in. If you visit our challenge page you'll also see some very interesting news. I'm very excited about it and I'm sure you will be too! Our sponsors for this challenge are All Dressed Up!
Ok, back to my card. I've used one of our fab sponsor images and gone all Christmassy! I think this is my first Christmas card of the year, I'm not very organised at the moment!
I've coloured the image with Promarkers to match with the rather lovely Dovecraft papers that were a present from one of my crafty friends. The Christmas Tree die was a magazine freebie ages ago but this is it's first outing and it cuts beautifully! The Precious Stars dies are from Memory Box. My 'Five of the Same' are the olive green gems. I've made a fancy fold card that was demonstrated at a recent Docrafts demo by the lovely Geraldine Carruthers. It's a very simple yet effective fold using just one A4 sheet of card.
That's all from me just now. Have a great week.
Hugs, Shona xx
I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
I Love Promarkers Challenge - #319 Anything Goes
ABC Christmas Challenge - T is for Two (Papers, Stars, Trees)
All Dressed Up Challenge - #61 Anything Goes
CHN Christmas Challenge Extra - October

Inspectors critical of Diss Church of England Junior School for a third time in a row
A Diss school which has not acted quickly enough to correct old failings has been placed in special measures.
The latest Ofsted report rates Diss Church of England Junior School "inadequate" after two previous inspections judged it was "requiring improvement".
y working closely with all parties we can ensure that Diss Junior rapidly becomes a good school for its children and families
School leaders, including governors, had not tackled variations in the quality of teaching and learning quickly enough, says the latest report published last week.
"Too much remains less than good."
The school governance is now in the hands of an interim executive board appointed by the local authority and since half term two acting executive headteachers have taken over.
Although the report acknowledges that the school has strengths, it found inconsistencies in the quality of teaching and learning, progress made by pupils in reading, writing and maths and expectations of the quality of children's work.
The report also said that governors did not challenge the leaders effectively. "As a result, leaders are not being held sufficiently to account to improve pupils' achievements and raise standards in the school."
School leaders could not account for the impact of the pupil premium grant in improving the achievement of disadvantaged pupils and inspectors recommended an external review. They also said that the school should not make any further appointments of newly-qualified teachers.
However, strengths noted by the inspectors were a broad and balanced curriculum supplemented by visits and visitors and a wide range of extra-curricular clubs, the care of pupils and improved conduct. The report said that the pupils knew how to keep themselves safe and healthy, including online, relationships between adults and pupils were good, and the school's support for vulnerable pupils had resulted in improved attendance rates.
A school spokesman said: "Since this inspection the Interim Executive Board has taken on the governance of the Diss Community and Church Primary School Federation. We are already making good progress in addressing the issues highlighted...and are confident that we can help the staff make rapid improvement.
"By working closely with all parties we can ensure that Diss Junior rapidly becomes a good school for its children and families.

"I AM so happy and so grateful now that I have a coaching blog with 14,000 followers". Well, not yet but I KNOW that I will. This is one of my focussed, positive and precise affirmations.
It all started with my discovery of the Principles of Being (well, when I say started, became the latest discovery on my journey). You know, the I AM affirmations – I AM Health, I AM Wealth, I AM Happiness – you get the gist.
Bob Proctor, one of the world's greatest speakers and motivators, who was featured on The Secret , lives by, "I AM so happy and so grateful now that money comes to me in increasing quantities and from multiple sources on a continuous basis". Try it. What have you get to lose.
Well, actually there are a couple of things you need to know first. Ask and you will receive (Luke 4: 9). Will you? Of course you will but only if you're ready to receive. How do you do that – have faith, believe. And emotionalise your affirmation – what does it feel like. We willl look in future posts at what you will do with the money you receive and the Bible's teaching on your responsibility to get wealthy. Suffice to say that, no, money is not always the route to all evil. But only if you Love People and Use Money.

Rajon Rondo Rumors: Pelicans to Meet with PG to Discuss 1-Year Contract
ESPN's Zach Lowe reported Thursday that the New Orleans Pelicans and free-agent point guard Rajon Rondo are set to meet and discuss a potential one-year deal.
Rondo was waived by the Chicago Bulls in June after spending one season with the team.
ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski added there is "real traction" regarding a possible deal and that New Orleans thinks Rondo could be on the floor at the same time as guard Jrue Holiday.
The 31-year-old Rondo struggled through an up-and-down season with the Bulls, shuttling in and out of the starting lineup.
He averaged just 7.8 points, 6.7 assists and 5.1 rebounds per game during the regular season but was key as Chicago seized a 2-0 lead over the top-seeded Boston Celtics in the first round of the playoffs.
Rondo put up 11.5 points, 10.0 assists and 8.5 rebounds per game in those two contests, but an injury knocked him out for the rest of the playoffs, and the Bulls were ousted.
For his career, Rondo is a four-time All-Star and former NBA champion who enjoyed the bulk of his success during a run of eight-plus seasons with the Celtics.
He has bounced around to the Dallas Mavericks, Sacramento Kings and Bulls over the past three seasons and failed to consistently replicate his previous level of play.
Rondo could be a strong fit in New Orleans due to the team's need for backcourt players to complement Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins.
The veteran point guard could back up Holiday or play alongside him at times for a Pels team that has missed the playoffs each of the past two seasons.

Let me tell you right here that I am totally for the creation of a Women's Royal Rumble match because, right now, the WWE has some of the best talent on the Women's rosters on RAW, Smackdown and NXT than I have ever seen in the company's history. This is not to take away from women like Alundra Blaze, Chyna, Lita, Trish Stratus, AJ Lee, or a number of amazingly talented women that have been in the WWE over the years, but can you really say that with the sheer amount of talent on the roster today that this is not the greatest the Women's Division has ever been."

Veg Jaunts And Journeys: Hassle-free Compassionate Tourism For Vegans
Posted by Danielle Bussone on Jan 6, 2018 in Asheville, NC, Living Plant-Strong! Profiles & Articles | 0 comments
Since the age of seventeen, Kim Giovacco knew she wanted to be a travel agent. Fascinated by cultural diversity spanning the globe, Kim pursued a degree in geography which helped her to land a job with a map company in New Jersey. From there she moved on to oher positions within the industry; the Korean tourist office in New York and eighteen years as an office manager in Boston for a government agency tasked to create jobs in Singapore. This final position allowed her to travel throughout Asia, make international contacts, and expand her hands-on experience in travel and tourism. During this period, Giovacco also served in a volunteer position on the board of a co-op and discovered new ways of doing things that were contrary to the perspective of the corporations and conglomerates of which she had long been a part. She adopted a vegan lifestyle and gradually came to the realization her values were no longer aligned with the work she was doing. From this understanding came the idea of starting her own company. Thus, Veg Jaunts and Journeys was born.
Kim began small by arranging vegan honeymoons and anniversary celebrations. She charged an hourly rate, researched the itineraries, and the clients would book the trips themselves. She naturally progressed to booking the entire travel arrangments for her clients. She got some training and learned how to do it. Since May of 2016, Kim Giovacco is living the dream she has harbored since her teens.
Kim Giovacco
The idea of creating tours evolved out of twenty-five years of traveling alone or with close friends. Giovacco always arranged her own trips rather than booking tours. She did this for two reasons: First, she didn't want to pay the single supplement, which is essentially a fine for traveling alone. Organized tours are usually based on double occupancy, and singles are penalized. The extra fee can be anywhere between $500 to $1,000, depending on the length of the tour and the quality of the lodging. For cruise ships, the single rate can be double the price. Secondly, on a standard cruise, vegan options are limited. While non-vegans have choices across the entire menu, if you are plant-based, there may only be one or two options from which to choose. Why pay all that money for food and be limited to one or two items? Kim saw a vacuum that needed to be filled.
When Kim created Veg Jaunts and Journeys, she had the single, vegan client in mind. Of course, couples are also encouraged to participate, but there are no penalties for traveling alone, and the dining venue is always vegan or vegetarian. The rare vegetarian restaurant on the tour itinerary will always offer a wide range of vegan options. Kim scopes out plant-based restaurants around the globe, and as the world rapidly becomes more vegan-friendly, opportunities abound for the plant-based traveler. "In the tour I took to Berlin in August, we were there for eight days, and only ate at vegan restaurants. I think we didn't even get to 25% of them, that's how many there are there. And pretty much every mainstream restaurant we passed had a sign outside that read vegan options available."
Vegan restaurants are evolving from the fast-food type of comfort food to healthier options, and Kim consults with her clients as to the types of food they prefer before booking restaurant venues. Her tours tend to be small and intimate, from six to twelve people. Another interesting aspect of her service is that she doesn't necessarily travel to the typical touristy spots. Giavocco takes her clients to visit rooftop gardens, tea manufacturers, on walking tours, to visit markets and vegan festivals and on green tours related to eco-tourism, to name a few.
Brewery in Berlin
Lodging is usually arranged in residential areas where vegan restaurants are more likely to be located. The group takes subways and local transit for a ten to fifteen-minute ride into the cities. This gives the traveler a more authentic experience of the country they are visiting rather than exposing them to one tourist site after another. If one has an interest in these sites, there is an entire unscheduled day where the client can choose to split from the group and explore on his/her own. Kim helps them with maps and directions and they will usually meet up later at a designated restaurant or hotel. The small groups tend to stick together, however, and form bonds of friendship by the tour's end.
Veg Jaunts and Journeys is not limited to overseas travel. Kim Giovacco is also busy putting together itineraries within the United States. Some of these tours are close to her and her partner's new home in Asheville, North Carolina where she is becoming familiar a presence in the thriving Asheville vegan scene. She has recently been asked to join the board of the Asheville Vegan Society. Kim is collaborating with another company to offer vegan tours to animal sanctuaries, vegan restaurants, local breweries, and nature trails in and around Asheville.
Asheville is a hub for vegan markets, restaurants, festivals, and animal groups that draws people from neighboring states that have not yet awakened to the needs of their burgeoning plant-based population. These plans are still in the organizational phase, so be sure to subscribe to Veg Jaunts and Journeys to be apprised of new tours as they are created.
Europe is way ahead of the United States in fully embracing the social imperatives of the vegan movement and where veganism has become more mainstream. In the United States, this movement is still in its infancy. Giovacco arranges many of her tours to catch some of the most interesting vegfests in the country with speakers that draw a large audience. She handles the schedule, the travel arrangements, restaurants, and lodging, so all you have to concentrate on is having a great time!
Whether you are thinking of traveling overseas to exotic locations like East Berlin, Bucharest, Vienna, or Prague or stateside to Nashville, New York, Boston or New Orleans, vegan travel has never been easier nor more accommodating. Never again will you have to pick at a salad while everyone else is enjoying the bounty of a full menu.
Traveling alone or with a group, Veg Jaunts and Journeys will help you create a hassle-free vacation that is designed with your needs in mind. Contact Kim Giovacco at Veg Jaunts and Journeys for more information.
Dan Kerry – On A Plant-Based Mission In The Big Apple!
Posted by Danielle Bussone on Dec 24, 2016 in Living Plant-Strong! Profiles & Articles, New York | 0 comments
Dan Kerry is on a mission to teach people how to liberate themselves from food-related disability and disease by eliminating animal protein from their plates and replacing it with whole foods such as fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes. It has become clear over decades of scientific research that many diseases are life-style related and can be improved and even reversed by simple changes in one's diet. Simple changes in the way you eat can literally save your life!
Dan is a recent graduate of Food For Life, a teaching program designed to promote a healthy plant-based lifestyle. Food For Life is the brainchild of Dr. Neal Barnard, President of Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine based in Washington, DC. Accepting only a handful of applicants each year, the program is designed to teach people suffering with Heart Disease, Cancer, Diabetes, Obesity and other food related diseases how to improve or even reverse health outcomes by simple changes in their diets.
Dan has jumped into this activity with both feet. He is currently teaching a 21-day quick-start weight loss classes in his community in Manhattan, NYC. Using the curriculum of Physician's Committee For Responsible Medicine (PCRM) for the series which targets the lifestyle of western civilization, Dan seeks to demonstrate how these classes can enable students to take control of their health by making better food decisions. The classes are a combination of cooking classes of easy, tasty meals that compose a plant-based diet. It is accompanied by a video of the founder of PCRM, Dr. Neal Barnard, who explains the nutrition and science behind a plant-based lifestyle. Each class is designed to focus on a particular food and each series is designed to focus on a particular issue whether it be diabetes, cancer, weight-loss, etc. Each class is designed to show how clients can make the most of that information.
For the last five years, Dan has worked as a life coach, helping people to live happier and healthier lives. Something felt missing to him and he began to look into expanding his practice. Serendipitously, his younger brother introduced him to the film, Earthlings, which is more about the ethical side of a plant-based diet. The film had a profound effect on Dan. "It changed my heart," he said simply. "It changed my heart." He could no longer participate in the cruelty connected with consuming animals. He didn't know how to go about it, but he knew it was something he had to do. Then Dan discovered that he just felt better and he wanted to continue to feel better. This led him to look at the nutritional aspects of being a vegan. He took Cornell's e-program on plant-based nutrition, started following Michael Greger's NutritionFacts.org, and was eventually introduced to PCRM through an email communication with Dr. Greger.
Dan became plant-based Feb 2, 2014. "It is always interesting to me that the change to a plant-based lifestyle is often so profound that people remember the exact date they made the switch," Dan recalls. He discovered that he felt better, more energetic and the arthritis issues he had been dealing with completely disappeared. "It is all the things that one can expect when switching to a plant-based lifestyle."
Dan is teaching classes out of his home in Manhattan, is partnering with a local yoga studio to teach classes. When I asked Dan about the responses he's receiving from his students, his response was surprising. "It's interesting. I thought the biggest challenge would be the purely plant-based approach, but what I actually found was that the students understood some of the issues with the animal products. They were really more shocked about the issue of cutting out or minimizing the oil in their diet. They had not looked at cooking from this perspective. They were actually shocked at how tasty the vegetables were that we produced without oil; it still had its flavor, it was still moist, and all these things."
Dan is creating a plant-based eating guide for his students to assist them in choosing restaurants that will support their goals. "One of the things I got to think about in my own journey and in talking with New Yorkers, because it is very common to eat out in New York. People eat out about 30% of the time, it's the lifestyle of the city. It's good to have these recipes but most of the people eat out about 30-40% of the time. So how would that work if they want to have a social life with their friends. I started to look at the restaurants in my neighborhood and I started to reach out to them. I was surprised that in my neighborhood there were at least twenty restaurants that were able to provide two or thee main courses and then sides that were totally vegan. We reached out to these restaurants for information. Some of them responded, some didn't, some are vegan so we know what they will provide. We just want to give people that extra boost for going plant-based and dealing with the social challenges of going plant-based can really get in the way of going all the way in this lifestyle. No one wants to be the troublesome person who asks the waiter too many questions or sends the food back when it has animal protein in it. So I wanted to cut out that barrier to their transition. We have already asked the questions of the chefs and the managers. I really wanted to make it easy for each person who attends our classes."
Dan and his wife, Angie, are looking for their first child in March. They are excited to raise a vegan child, giving him or her a healthy foundation on which to build its life.

Chantal Poulin-Durocher — Changing Hearts And Minds Through Art
Posted by Danielle Bussone on Sep 18, 2015 in Living Plant-Strong! Profiles & Articles | 2 comments
Canadian artist, Chantal Poulin, is on a mission. Driven by her passionate love for animals, Chantal creates huge, in-your-face paintings she hopes will not only fill the room with her evocative images but will fill your heart with empathy for the vulnerable animals she depicts.
My paintings are large because I want to give them the space they deserve. If I paint small it is just another animal painting. But when confronted with my paintings, they are so big you don't have any choice but to look in their faces and feel something. When people come to my studio, they look at my paintings and at first they say, "Oh, it's beautiful!" but when then they notice there is a tag in the cow's ear or that the pig is in a truck going to the slaughterhouse, or they see the title "Please Don't Kill My Friend," then they begin to become uncomfortable.

Acne is also refereed as acne vulgaris is a type of skin condition that generally causes pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, redness and itchiness to your skin.

July auto sales was a blood-bath for U.S auto makers. The SAAR (Seasonally
ManipulatedAdjusted Annualized Rate) metric – aka "statistical vomit" – presented a slight increase for July over June (16.7 SAAR vs 16.5 SAAR). But the statisticians can't hide the truth. GM's total sales plunged 15% YoY vs an 8% decline expected. Ford's sales were down 7.4% vs an expected 5.5% drop. Chrysler's sales dropped 10.5% vs. -6.1% expected. In aggregate, including foreign-manufactured vehicles, sales were down 7% YoY.
Note: These numbers are compiled by Automotive News based on actual monthly sales reported by manufactures. Also please note: A "sale" is recorded when the vehicle is shipped to the dealer. It does not reflect an economic transaction between a dealer and an end-user. As Automotive News reports: "[July was] the weakest showing yet in a year that is on tract to generate the industry's first decline in volume since the 2008-2009 market collapse."
The domestics blamed the sharp decline in sales on fleet sales. But GM's retail sales volume plunged 14.4% vs its overall vehicle cliff-dive of 15% And so what? When the Obama Government, after it took over GM, and the rental agencies were loading up on new vehicles, the automakers never specifically identified fleet sales as a driver of sales.

The Labor Department wants to remove an Obama-era regulation that restricted the circumstances in which employers could force workers to share tips.
The DOL's Wage and Hour Division, in a proposed rule released Dec. 4, calls for rescinding the 2011 regulation that prohibited restaurants, bars, and other service industry employers from requiring front-of-house employees, such as servers, to share tips with back-of-house workers, such as cooks and dishwashers.
"Our proposal only applies where an employer pays a full minimum wage and does not take the tip credit," a Labor Department official told Bloomberg Law. "These are restaurant cooks and dishwashers, back-of-the-house staff. The concept here is these employees are as integral to the experience of the customer as front-of-the-office staff, and often they are not compensated to the same degree potentially as front-of-the-house staff."
Tip credits permit employers to pay an hourly wage of as little as $2.13, depending on the state, provided that gratuities bring the worker's average pay up to the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour.
Two appellate court arguments in the last two years—one a dissenting opinion—found the agency had exceeded its authority with the 2011 rule. Those court cases are cited heavily in the rulemaking notice as motivating this administration's reconsideration. "The Department has serious concerns that it incorrectly construed the statute," in the earlier rule, the proposal states.
Although seemingly limited in scope, the DOL's move has broad implications for payroll policies at restaurants and other businesses with workers who rely on tips. It elicited outrage from worker rights groups. What is characterized by the DOL as boosting employee freedom and lifting the take-home pay for kitchen staff is seen by critics as enabling employers to retain gratuities and do with them what they please.
The proposal would eliminate from the Fair Labor Standards Act language under the 2011 rule that said tips are the property of the employee regardless of whether the employer has applied a tip credit.
The department's analysis that unwinding this rule will improve workplace conditions for restaurant employees was immediately opposed by worker advocates and former DOL officials in the Obama administration. "There is nothing" in the proposed rule "that would preclude an employer from keeping the tips of workers as long as he's paid them $7.25 an hour," Sharon Block, who ran the DOL's policy shop in the Obama White House, told Bloomberg Law.
Meanwhile, the National Restaurant Association, which has litigated this issue since the rule was first issued, applauded the Trump administration for understanding the structure of restaurant operations. The rescission "points out what we have been saying for years: taking care of the disparities of the back-of-the-house and front-of-the-house is very important to have that team spirit," Angelo Amador, the NRA's senior vice president and regulatory counsel, told Bloomberg Law.
When the DOL first announced an intent to undo this regulation in the semi-annual regulatory agenda in July, worker advocates and Democrats such as Sen. Patty Murray (Wash.) expressed concern that the department was moving to roll back financial security for low-wage workers in the service industry, most of whom are women. Supporters of the prior administration's rule argue it protected vulnerable employees from unscrupulous managers who might skim tips.
"It is a license to steal the money that customers clearly intended to be a gratuity to a worker for the service provided," Michael Hancock, a Wage and Hour Division assistant administrator in the Obama administration, said of the proposed rule.
The current DOL official, speaking in an interview on condition of anonymity, said that the WHD "will continue to fully and fairly enforce all aspects of the Fair Labor Standards Act." As to concerns that the proposal frees management to retain tips, the DOL does not anticipate this response from businesses, the official said.
"Employers have every incentive to continue to maintain a tipped system at their workplace to provide the incentives necessary to provide the best customer service to the public," the DOL official said. Skimming tips "is not going to happen is our best guess, but we're looking forward to getting comments about that."
Upon the proposal's publication in the Federal Register Dec. 5, the public will have 30 days to submit comments, which can be addressed in the final rule.
The department is expecting employers to react by developing tip-sharing arrangements to the benefit of their employees, but the agency also believes workers will benefit if management opts to pay them a full minimum wage and redirect some of their gratuities away from direct worker compensation.
"To the extent employers may otherwise make an arrangement to allocate any customer tips to make capital improvements to their establishments" or offer new benefits to workers such as paid time off, "these are also potential benefits to employees and the economy overall that may result under the proposed rule," the department states.
The rescission proposal comes as the U.S. Supreme Court is considering the restaurant association's petition to invalidate the tip-pool regulation. The Justice Department and Labor Department have until February to file a reply brief to the NRA's request for the high court to take the case.
Publishing a regulation to nullify the rule may allow the government to sidestep the issue of taking a position in front of the Supreme Court that differs from the stance taken during the Obama administration, when the DOJ defended the rule. It could also lead to the high court opting not to grant review, if they see the administration already in the process of reversing course on the rule.
Some attorneys theorize that the petition's potential to serve as a vehicle to rein in the administrative law doctrine of Chevron deference is one reason the administration wants to keep it out of the justices' hands. Chevron is the high court's 1984 doctrine that judges must defer to agency interpretations of ambiguities in the laws they administer, unless the rulemakings are unreasonable.
Amador, who is counsel of record in the NRA's pending Supreme Court challenge, said it's too soon to determine whether his association prefers to carry on with the petition. "We are talking to our attorneys. We will be communicating to the solicitor general's office and the solicitor's office at the Department of Labor as well and see if we can come to an agreement," he said.
