Miami Wedding Planners feature the wedding of Jessie and Max
I had the pleasure of planning and collaborating on a design plan with the A Joy Wallace Design Team, during an extraordinary wedding held at The Westin Colonnade in Coral Gables last December. The gorgeous wedding of Jessie and Max, was platinum status to say the least—adorned in full bloom with the most fragrantly romantic, and lush floral pieces that only a girl could dream of. Details included exquisite sequin fabrics, floral runners, elegant platinum chargers, cherry blossom trees, and a pink and lavender glow that filled the room to set the tone for the stunning evening.
A sweetly scented ruffled wedding cake with the bride's favorite sugared pink peonies was created by non other than celebrity cake bakery, Divine Delicacies. After the newlyweds cut the cake and further enjoyed a glass of bubbly, guests partied the night away with a special performance by Miami Heat's own celebrity music icon, DJ Irie, who was accompanied by an appearance from The Heat's all-star mascot, Burnie!
As Miami's leading event planning firm, I had very high expectations for this event, and knew that part of my job was to find the right group of vendors that could join forces and develop the perfect setting fit for this glamorous client. Our teams of vendors did exceptional work as they were able to translate impeccably the style and tone the couple was trying to achieve.
Big thank you to Uplyte, Elements and Accents, and Liquid Sky Laser for all of the fabulous rentals, lighting, and sound effects; absolutely incredible!
Overjoyed as always with everyone's talents and amazing business integrity, I look forward to continue working together on many more lifetime events. Check out some images from this magical evening by Ray Santana Photography. Enjoy!

Dog boots protect your four-legged friend
Quadrupeds with dog boots are nothing we are used to see on our streets every day. However, those, who like to be on the go with their dogs across country, know about the problems that can accompany such a tour: a sharp stone or a piece of glass could cause a cut in your dog's paws and hurt them badly. The dog will only be able to move with pain. Dirt that might touch the wound can extend the process of healing. Dog boots are a great help for cases like these.
Protection for sensitive pawsYour dog is not in the mood to go for a walk or even a trekking tour? Check their paws for splinters, grazes and cuts. Road salt is also very bad for their sensitive paws. Our dog shoes have thick soles and protect your four-legged friend from getting hurt. They fit well and provide sufficient flexibility. The soles are skid-proof, thus you will be safe to cross rough terrains or go for a walk, when there is ice and snow. They also protect your dog's paws from painful snow balls between their pads.
Dog boots for a perfect fittingYour best friend will get used to these shoes quickly. Accustom him to each shoe: start with the hindpaw and dress each paw separately, let him get used to it. They will notice, the shoes protect them and enable them to walk more comfortably. You can order the shoes in a pair of two or four and choose the right size. Dog socks are a good basis for an even better support. They can offer an extra protection, while wearing a bandage, for instance.

Coming from humble beginnings in Erie, Pa, Atlas plans to use his voice and his truths for the greater good of those who have not, and get lost in the shuffle. Atlas has performed in a multitude of cities throughout the country from: Dayton, Philadelphia, Indianapolis and Boston, to name a few.

Whether consent is directed to the end or to the means?
Objection 1: It would seem that consent is directed to the end.
Because that on account of which a thing is such is still more such.
But it is on account of the end that we consent to the means.
Therefore, still more do we consent to the end.
Objection 2: Further, the act of the intemperate man is his end, just as the act of the virtuous man is his end.
But the intemperate man consents to his own act.
Therefore consent can be directed to the end.
Objection 3: Further, desire of the means is choice, as stated above ([1109] Q [13], A [1]).
If therefore consent were only directed to the means it would nowise differ from choice.
And this is proved to be false by the authority of Damascene who says (De Fide Orth. ii, 22) that "after the approval" which he calls "the sentence," "comes the choice."
Therefore consent is not only directed to the means.
On the contrary, Damascene says (De Fide Orth. ii, 22) that the "sentence," i. e. the consent, takes place "when a man approves and embraces the judgment of his counsel."
But counsel is only about the means.
Therefore the same applies to consent.
I answer that, Consent is the application of the appetitive movement to something that is already in the power of him who causes the application.
Now the order of action is this: First there is the apprehension of the end; then the desire of the end; then the counsel about the means; then the desire of the means.
Now the appetite tends to the last end naturally: wherefore the application of the appetitive movement to the apprehended end has not the nature of consent, but of simple volition.
But as to those things which come under consideration after the last end, in so far as they are directed to the end, they come under counsel: and so counsel can be applied to them, in so far as the appetitive movement is applied to the judgment resulting from counsel.
But the appetitive movement to the end is not applied to counsel: rather is counsel applied to it, because counsel presupposes the desire of the end.
On the other hand, the desire of the means presupposes the decision of counsel.
And therefore the application of the appetitive movement to counsel's decision is consent, properly speaking.
Consequently, since counsel is only about the means, consent, properly speaking, is of nothing else but the means.
Reply to Objection 1: Just as the knowledge of conclusions through the principles is science, whereas the knowledge of the principles is not science, but something higher, namely, understanding; so do we consent to the means on account of the end, in respect of which our act is not consent but something greater, namely, volition.
Reply to Objection 2: Delight in his act, rather than the act itself, is the end of the intemperate man, and for sake of this delight he consents to that act.
Reply to Objection 3: Choice includes something that consent has not, namely, a certain relation to something to which something else is preferred: and therefore after consent there still remains a choice.
For it may happen that by aid of counsel several means have been found conducive to the end, and through each of these meeting with approval, consent has been given to each: but after approving of many, we have given our preference to one by choosing it.
But if only one meets with approval, then consent and choice do not differ in reality, but only in our way of looking at them; so that we call it consent, according as we approve of doing that thing; but choice according as we prefer it to those that do not meet with our approval.

New chapter for NewPage Corp.
Papermaker emerges from Chapter 11 bankruptcy
The longest-running and highest-profile restructuring saga in the Wisconsin paper industry reached a new milestone as NewPage Corp. emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
NewPage, which operates three mills in Wisconsin, said a U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware approved a financial restructuring, including hundreds of millions of dollars in new loans and credits, as well as a new board of directors. The Ohio-based papermaker, which is the largest maker of glossy coated paper in North America, filed for bankruptcy protection in September 2011, listing $3 billion in debt.
The papermaker employs about 1,700 people in Wisconsin Rapids, Biron and Stevens Point.
Wisconsin remains the nation's leading papermaking state. And the NewPage mills, under their previous owners, helped write the history of the modern era of papermaking, as documented in a two-part series published this month in the Journal Sentinel.
The mills originally belonged to Consolidated Papers Inc., which reigned throughout the past century as a leader in the nation's paper industry. Consolidated, headquartered since 1903 in Wisconsin Rapids, invented the machinery that allowed paper mills to produce glossy coated paper for magazines, catalogs, advertising inserts and coffee-table books, and revolutionized publishing by giving rise to magazines such as Life, Look, Newsweek and Time. It was a leader in renewable forestry and reforesting the state.
In 2000, Consolidated sold its six Wisconsin mills to Stora Enso, a Finish papermaking rival. In 2007, Stora Enso sold the mills to NewPage, which was then a newly created paper company owned by private equity investor Cerberus Capital Management. Within three years, NewPage closed three of the six mills.
NewPage, however, took on heavy debt just as touch screens and Wi-Fi began to decimate demand for ink-on-paper publishing. It still operates mills in five other states as well as Wisconsin, producing 3.5 million tons of paper annually.
Memphis-based Verso Paper Corp., a rival maker of coated paper, briefly considered acquiring NewPage during its bankruptcy. But after two months of negotiations, Verso abandoned any plans to acquire NewPage.
A new board of directors will oversee the newly restructured company.
Chairing the new board will be Mark Angelson, who held posts in the ink-on-paper publishing industry, first at R.R. Donnelly & Sons Co., the biggest printer in North America, and then at World Color Press Inc., a Canadian printer that was acquired two years ago by Wisconsin-based Quad/Graphics Inc.
Angelson has the reputation as a cost-cutter. He's a former Chicago deputy mayor who helped Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel dig the Windy City out of a deep fiscal hole.

No tatting right now. My fingers are getting stiff right now and manipulating the shuttle is rough going. So I went to crochet. After doing another row on the simple blanket I decided that I want it to be two colors. I love the green I got but had the thought that it looked like puke green run through my head and now the thought won't leave. Now back to you-tube to learn how to add a second color. Without having a bunch of knots, that is. Is it even possible?
I found a full skein of size 10 bamboo thread and one that was mostly used up. I also found a booklet on baby blankets that I purchased back when I was first put on bedrest and stayed a few weeks with the in-laws. There was also a package of plastic crochet hooks. Those hooks turned out to be trash. They kept snagging on the thread and the yarn. Now the recommended hook on the bamboo is 7 or 1.5mm, and I only have 2 sizes to work with. The 10/1.3mm is the closest in sizing so I'm using that. Here is the result of that:
That holder with the green is a splice of the bamboo/acrylic. My son had hopelessly tangled up a skein of it. I guess he loves the feel of the yarn because he kept rubbing it up against his face and arms, like a cat. I took that mess and split the 6 plys into 3. Okay I only did a little bit, and it split pretty much on it's own. The only problem I had was little bits of fuzz that would accumulate from friction, that I kept having to cut off. I got the white bamboo from Walmart and I think I'm going to get some more. The skein says it's 300 yards and the pattern calls for a total of 1790 yards. I'll use what I have now and see how much more I have to get, especially since I'll be switching between the white and green. I can also use any left over thread in white to tat with.

The Insider Picks team writes about stuff we think you'll like. Business Insider has affiliate partnerships, so we get a share of the revenue from your purchase.
The Insider Pick:
The best kitchen scales feature easy-to-read displays, accurate measurements, readings in an array of units, and are easy to clean. The Etekcity Digital Kitchen Scale Multifunction Food Scale tops our list because it has all of the above features along with a helpful measuring bowl, a timer, and user-friendly buttons.
For bakers and dieters, a reliable scale is an indispensable part of the kitchen. Since recipes call for many different measurements, a kitchen scale should be able to give readouts in ounces, grams, pounds, and kilograms. And, for dieters, accurate scales are a must since inaccurate readings can lead to a rude awakening on the bathroom scale.
Each of the scales that made our list has a track record for accuracy, reliability, and durability. But, whether a specific model is right for you will depend on how you plan to use it. For instance, if you plan on measuring ingredients for baking, you will want a scale that gives you instant measurement readings. Otherwise, you will get exasperated as you pause for readings while pouring your ingredients onto the scale.
Also, keep in mind that small weighing platforms are not ideal for large mixing bowls or other bigger items. Large items may make it hard to read the display, or the scale might return inaccurate weights due to awkward weight distributions.
We researched a wide range of kitchen scales looking at the experiences and ratings of hundreds of users and several experts. We decided on our top picks based on consistent, reliable performance, accurate measurements, and affordability.
Although the Etekcity Digital Kitchen Scale Multifunction Food Scale is at the top of our list of best kitchen scales, you may also like the Ozeri Pronto Digital Kitchen Scale, the Epica Accupro Digital Kitchen Scale, the AmazonBasics Digital Kitchen Scale, the OXO Good Grips Food Scale, and the MyWeigh KD8000 Kitchen Scale.
The best kitchen scale overall
Why you'll love it: The Etekcity Digital Kitchen Scale combines reliability and precision with a neat design and an easy-to-clean bowl.
Aside from weighing ingredients up to 11 pounds (5 kilograms) within a tenth of an ounce (or one gram), the Etekcity Digital Kitchen Scale gets the "multifunction" part of its title from its alarm timer and temperature sensor. One of the best features of this scale is the 2.1-liter dishwasher-safe bowl. It's detachable so you can choose to use the Etekcity as a traditional flat scale, too. To store the scale, you just flip over the bowl and place it on top of the base.
The scale uses two AAA batteries, which come with the unit. The Etekcity scale is backed by a one-year warranty as well as lifetime support from the manufacturer. Another great thing about the scale is that it has actual buttons, as opposed to the flat "membrane" buttons commonly found on other models.
Several expert review sites included the Etekcity Digital Kitchen Scale in their lists of the top kitchen scales. BuyTheBest10 likes the scale because of its sleek, sturdy construction that doesn't require an inordinate amount of counter space. Heavy rated the scale highly because it has a built-in timer and includes a surrounding temperature sensor. However, the writer didn't like that the reset beep is so loud. TBPR Reviews found that this scale provided both precise and reliable measurements. The reviewer thought the vivid blue backlit display was easy to read.
Around 84% of the ratings of the Etekcity Digital Kitchen Scale on Amazon are five stars. The bowl appears to be the most popular feature. It fits snugly on the unit, is simple to remove for dumping the ingredients elsewhere, and it's dishwasher safe. Buyers liked that when you are baking, you can add ingredients to the bowl, zero-out the weight, and add more ingredients. It's a lot faster than measuring each item individually. The main complaint was that the on-off-tare button is a bit sensitive.
Pros: Stainless steel, dishwasher-safe bowl, built-in timer, surrounding temperature sensor
Cons: Sensitive buttons, loud beeping
Buy the Etekcity Digital Kitchen Scale Multifunction Food Scale on Amazon for $15.98 (originally $39.99)
The best kitchen scale for matching your decor
Why you'll love it: The Ozeri Pronto Digital Kitchen Scale comes in a variety of colors and provides a great balance of accurate measurement and a sleek design.
The Ozeri Pronto scale measures loads up to 11.24 pounds (5.1 kilograms) within .05 ounces (or 1 gram) of accuracy. It runs on two AAA batteries that come with the unit, and the scale saves on battery life by shutting down after two minutes of inactivity. None of the scale's elements are dishwasher safe, but the chrome finish for the weight platform is easy to wipe down. The scale only weighs twelve ounces and is relatively small at 8.2 by 1.8 by 6-inches.
Of all the scales on our list, the Ozeri Pronto comes in the most colors, including Black, Silver, Red, and Lime Green.
The Sweethome named the Ozeri Pronto scale as the top budget kitchen scale because of its consistent measurements, lightweight design, and low price. The scale lost points because it automatically turns off after two minutes (a relatively short time), and it's slow to display weights. Consumer Search awarded the Ozeri Pronto the "best cheap kitchen scale" award, adding that it is accurate and can weigh in ounces, pounds, and grams. Lastly, BuyTheBest10 has this Ozeri scale as its top pick because of the accuracy, large measuring platform, and durable design.
The Ozeri Pronto has more than 9,400 five-star reviews on Amazon. The positive comments run the gamut from how simple and intuitive it is to how effortless it is to clean and how little space it takes up in the kitchen. Buyers also liked that you can put bowls or small plates on the scale and zero out the weight before you measure out portions. One buyer took a number of precise weights and put them on the scale to test it out, and they found that the Pronto reads accurately to within +/- 0.1%.
Pros: Accurate, small, consistent, comes in seven colors
Cons: Slow measurement, fast auto-off
Buy the Ozeri Pronto Digital Multifunction Kitchen and Food Scale on Amazon for $12.95 and up (originally $18.66)
The best kitchen scale for small spaces
Why you'll love it: If you have a kitchen where space is at a premium, consider the compact Epica Accupro Digital Kitchen Scale for accurate portion control.
Much like the models above, the Epica Accupro scale has a capacity of 11 pounds/5 kilograms and is accurate down to 1/20 of an ounce or 1 gram. This model comes with the two AA batteries it requires to function, and the battery life is extended thanks to an automatic shut off at three minutes.
The Accupro is the smallest scale on our list at just under five ounces and with dimensions of 5 by 3.5 by 2-inches. With this unit, Epica offers a lifetime 100% money back guarantee. We were unable to find any comments from users who had taken advantage of this policy.
Heavy included the Epica TM Accupro scale among its top 20 kitchen scales because of the oversized platform, display options, and large LCD screen. However, it didn't top the list because the site felt the plastic construction was somewhat flimsy. Better Priced Online also mentioned that the unit appeared to be cheaply made, but the site still rated it highly because of the screen and useful tare button. Best Reviews Guide gave the Epica scale a 9.7 out of 10 and the top ranking on its best kitchen scale list.
On Amazon, 94% of the reviewers gave the Epica TM Accupro a rating of at least four stars. Buyers like that the scale easily converts weights from ounces to grams to pounds to kilograms without the user having to remove the items from the scale. One verified purchaser tested out the accuracy of the scale using a lab-quality balance and found it was spot on. Another noted that they'd only had to replace the batteries once in the scale's 16 months of daily use. We were unable to find any consistent complaints from multiple commenters.
Pros: Accurate, long-lasting battery
Cons: Made of plastic, platform is potentially too small
Buy the Epica TM Accupro Digital Kitchen Scale on Amazon for $10 or $12 (originally $24.95)
The best budget kitchen scale
Why you'll love it: Whether you are a hobby baker or on a diet, you will be hard-pressed to find a scale as accurate as the AmazonBasics Digital Kitchen Scale for less than $10.
The AmazonBasics Stainless Steel Digital Kitchen Scale earns the best budget kitchen scale because it is a penny cheaper than the Epica scale. However, if you want a smaller unit, by all means, "splurge" on the Epica model. The AmazonBasics scale has a 7-inch diameter weighing platform that can measure items up to 11 pound/5 kilograms in weight. Like the other units on this list, this scale measures ounces, pounds, grams, and kilograms. However, it also can measure liquid volume. The device runs on two AAA batteries, which are included.
This was another scale on our list that appears on Heavy's list of the top 20 best kitchen scales. The main benefits of the AmazonBasics kitchen scale are that it seamlessly switches between units of measurement, has a large weighing platform, and features a wide LCD screen. Reviewed.com recommended the scale to dieters and bakers, though the reviewers found the tare button sometimes required a couple tries.
The AmazonBasics kitchen scale has received 91% positive reviews on Amazon. For the most part, buyers found that the scale was accurate. Many appreciated that the weight was displayed immediately. Others were surprised by how accurately it could measure liquid volumes.
There were a few complaints, though. One buyer noted that the scale wouldn't register a load until he had added eight grams of coffee beans. Another reviewer didn't like that the scale would automatically shut off in the middle of a longer measurement as ingredients were slowly added.
Pros: Large weighing platform, wide screen, fast display
Cons: Inaccurate at extremely low weights, fast auto shut-off
Buy the AmazonBasics Stainless Steel Digital Kitchen Scale with LCD Display on Amazon for $9.99
The best kitchen scale for heavy things
Why you'll love it: If making dinner is more like cooking for an army in your home, the OXO Good Grips Food Scale will make it easier to measure out lots of ingredients.
The standard OXO Good Grips scale has the usual 11-pound/5-kilogram capacity, which it measures with precision to the nearest gram or 1/8 of an ounce. However, you may consider spending the extra $8 or so for the 22-pound capacity version if you do a lot of heavier measuring. This model is also ideal for bigger tasks because of the pull-out display.
Another benefit of the OXO scale is the large removable stainless steel platform that you can wash by hand. The Good Grips scale does require four AAA batteries, which is twice what all of the other models on this list need.
Many expert sites have reviewed the OXO Good Grips scale. The Sweethome liked the unique pull-out display of this model, but the reviewers felt that the price didn't justify the perks. Also, they found it was the slowest at reading measurements. Cook's Illustrated and Consumer Search list this scale as their top pick. Top Ten Reviews gave it high marks because of the convenient pull-out display, which the writer said comes in handy when preparing large meals. However, the writer didn't like that weights were presented as fractions.
The OXO Good Grips scale has more than 1,100 reviews of four stars or more on Amazon. Buyers have reported that this unit is accurate and durable for larger loads. One buyer has had the scale for more than five years and uses it for non-kitchen measurements as well, including calculating postage.
There were a few negatives, though. The scale has trouble registering small loads. Also, since there is a bit of a delay in getting the reading, this scale is not the best for pouring ingredients until you get to the weight you want.
Pros: One-of-a-kind pull-out display and large-sturdy design
Cons: Delayed measurement readings, weights are presented as fractions
Buy the OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Food Scale with Pull-Out Display on Amazon for $49.95 (11-pound scale) or $57.64 (22-pound scale)
The best kitchen scale for bakers
Why you'll love it: The MyWeigh KD8000 Kitchen Scale is the best for serious bakers who work with grams and percentages.
If you like to bake bread at home, you can't do better than the MyWeigh KD8000 Bakers Math Kitchen Scale. It has a high weighing capacity of 17 pounds and 6 ounces, a big easy-to-read screen, and the ability to work with baker's percentages when you need to adjust your recipe. You can also do measurements in grams, which is what many recipes call for.
The scale is sturdy and versatile enough to handle all the ingredients you need for large batches of dough. You can disable the automatic-off setting for the scale so that you can always see the measurement without worrying that it's going to flick off too fast. The large, backlit screen is easy to read, and the controls are simple. You can also turn off the backlight if it annoys you.
The scale runs on three AA batteries, but you can also get an AC adapter to plug it into the wall. It's very easy to clean this scale, and there's a removable plastic cover that protects the screen from dripping ingredients or globs of dough. The scale even comes with a 30-year warranty, so if something goes wrong, you will get a replacement.
Guides editor Malarie Gokey has had this scale for more than a year and can confirm that it's an excellent scale for baking. Once you've graduated to grams and percentages in bread recipes, this is the scale you need.

Originally from Brudnell, PEI, he is survived by his former wife Ronda (nee Buell) and his loving children, daughter, Brandy Nicholson and son, Chris Nicholson, all of Orillia. Proud grandfather to Hannah and Adam Nicholson, also of Orillia. Predeceased by his father and mother Mack Preston and Alice Isabel "D.D." (nee Buell) and brother John "Jackie" all of PEI. Leaves behind siblings Eric (Lillian), Kate, Clifford all of PEI and Amanda (Scott) of British Columbia. Will be sadly missed by dear long time friend Ruth Anne Tiffin of Orillia. Will be dearly missed by uncles, aunts, cousins, nephews, extended family members and many friends. Born in Brudnell, PEI, Elvert always had a story to tell or a kind word for everyone. Always one to help those in need, he made many friends over the years. He knew his way around the back roads in our parts. Always a tinkerer, he could fix pretty much any engine and loved to be outdoors. Special thank you to Dr. Kristen Farn, the amazing nurses and staff of the emergency department, C5, and Soldiers 1 at Orillia Soldiers Memorial Hospital for all their kindness during this difficult time. Thank you to Jenny Martin for her care and support and Pete Yule for his friendship. Following cremation, visitation and service will be held at Mundells Funeral Home at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations to Orillia Soldiers Memorial Hospital or the Canadian Lung Association would be appreciated.

Rugs, an easily available and cost-effective product, which can make your home, look luxurious. Traditionally they are made from wool but these days there are many manufacturers in the market which are using artificial wools for making rugs.
These days there are variety of rugs available in the market which can be used at any type of floor or wall of the home or office whether it is indoor area or outdoor area.
Area rugs are usually used in bedroom, but most of the area of rug is hidden under the bed, which is useless. Instead of the area rug we can use runner rug at both side of the bed.
A runner rug is a rectangular shape rug whose length is usually longer than the other rugs. Traditional runner rugs are generally long and narrow but now days we can find them in some other unusual shapes. Whatever is the shape, the length of the runner rugs is generally more than their breadth.
Runner rugs can be used in many ways. These can be placed on narrow hallways, bedrooms, staircases, and the entrance of the home, the kitchen and in the bathroom in front of the sink.
Not only they give us look good and enhance the beauty of our home, but they also serve as element of protection to us especially if we have hardwood flooring or any other kind of flooring which are more prone to getting damaged. They make us walk comfortable on hard flooring and provide us better friction which reduces the chances of slipping.
As these rugs are narrow in shape, as compare to larger area rugs these are more suitable for smaller areas. This was one of the main reasons why runner rugs become so popular.
Generally, most of the houses end up with several small empty spaces between furniture. Placing a runner rugs over these areas not only create an attractive focal point but also draws attention away from the fact that the room has a less than generous size.
Runner rugs provide us plenty of functionality as well as style when they are placed on staircase. Staircase are generally made from hardwood which look classy but if we walk on them bare feet we might get slip on them and get injured ourselves. A using runner rug on staircase not only adds beauty but also reduces the chances of slipping.
ABC Decorative Rugs is the only online home store at Los Gatos, California in United States which has huge collection of runner rugs. In their collection they not only have traditional runner rugs but also, they have rugs which can customize to any empty space of your home or office beautifully.

Samsung Pay will work on the Gear S3 even if you don't have a Samsung phone
Now that Samsung's Gear S3 (in both classic and frontier versions) is finally starting to become available across the world, some more details about it are trickling in. An intriguing fact has to do with Samsung Pay, and how it's supported on the Gear S3.
According to Samsung, you're able to use Samsung Pay on the Gear S3 even if you don't have a Samsung phone paired to the smartwatch (if the one that you do have runs Android 4.4 KitKat or newer). That's certainly surprising, given that so far the Samsung Pay app has been limited to Samsung devices. Then again, the company's latest wearables do work with any other Android handsets, so this makes some sense.
Unfortunately we don't yet know exactly how this will work. Will you have to enter your credit card details on the watch? Will there be a special app that you'll be able to install on your non-Samsung phone to make this work? Will Samsung allow installation of its Samsung Pay app on devices that it hasn't manufactured? Are both NFC and MST payments going to be supported on the Gear S3 if it's paired to a non-Samsung smartphone? There's currently no definitive answer to any of these questions. What's clear is that this doesn't mean you'll be able to make purchases through Samsung Pay on a non-Samsung handset - it will just work on the watch, regardless of what device it's connected to.

Tyler Bate and Trent Seven spoke out about their loss at the NXT UK Takeover: Blackpool event on January 12.
The team known as Moustache Mountain lost in their bid to become the first-ever NXT UK Tag Team champions. The duo was defeated by James Drake and Zack Gibson, who make a formidable team, but shocked the crowd with their win nevertheless.
Bate and Seven were indeed the favorites to win the gold and now many fans are likely wondering what is next for the team. But the fact is that Moustache Mountain is surely not out of the title picture. The tag team belts are now a real prize and the brand must have top teams working for them.
Though they lost this match, Tyler Bate and Trent Seven are only just getting started. Takeover: Blackpool was the first event of its kind for the UK brand in its home country. Judging by the show's success, there will surely be much more to come.
EXCLUSIVE: "What makes #MustacheMountain different is that even when we do lose, we get back up, we keep on fighting, and we never lose sight of what the goal is." – @Tyler_Bate #NXTUKTakeOver @trentseven pic.twitter.com/sDZbreLGgB

Bonhoeffer: the prophet against the culture-controlled church
By Andrew Symes, Anglican Mainstream.
Today (April 9th) is the 74th anniversary of the execution of Dietrich Bonhoeffer by Nazi guards in Flossenburg camp, just a month before the end of the war. A doctor witnessing the hanging later said "I have hardly ever seen a man die so entirely submissive to the will of God".
Eric Metaxas' masterful account of Bonhoeffer's life shows clearly how he was formed by insights gained during the early years of his ministry. The brilliantly talented young theologian-pastor-musician completed his doctorate on the sociology of the Church in only 18 months while maintaining a full social and cultural life; by age 24 he was qualified as a university lecturer and was spending the second of his years abroad (the first was in Barcelona). But while he knew how to master his profession and enjoy life, Bonhoeffer was consumed, hemmed-in perhaps, by a desire to see Christ glorified, to see the church operating as it should with devoted disciples of Christ living seriously for him, and for the gospel to confront evil in the world and change it for the better.
Interestingly, his prophetic concerns about the lukewarm church, liberal theology and social injustice which were to drive his ministry in Germany in the last third of his life did not originate there, but in America, where he was based at the famous Union Seminary in New York. While Bonhoeffer had often taken issue with the famous German liberal theologians back home, at least they were concerned about truth, and used reason to come to their conclusions. Bonhoeffer felt that liberal theology in America was not using the mind in the same disciplined way: "There is no theology here", he wrote; "they become intoxicated with humanistic phrases, laugh at the fundamentalists, and yet basically are not up to their level". Students did not seem interested in the biblical themes of sin and salvation, only the latest political and psychological theories. They entered the pastorate with a secular mindset, with the result that "the sermon has been reduced to parenthetical remarks about newspaper events".
If wealthy, white, mainline Protestantism was being gutted by revisionist theology in 1930, proper gospel preaching and serious discipleship could be found in the black churches. Bonhoeffer was thrilled at the biblically-based and Christ-centred preaching in the Baptist church he often attended in Harlem, and was also influenced by the music, completely different to the stuffy hymns of his own tradition. A few years later this would bear fruit as trainee pastors in the Confessing Church movement would listen to Bonhoeffer's gospel music record collection and be urged to worship God in a similar way!
But of course this was a time of severe racial discrimination and segregation in America. Bonhoeffer was appalled, and saw worse in the southern states when he visited there. The Germany he had left did not have an equivalent: there was racism and antisemitism of course, but it had not been institutionalised. How quickly would that change on his return. In fact, during his time in America, back home the extremist fringe Nazi party was already making rapid gains in winning seats in the Reichstag. The grotesque and terrifying racial purification project was yet to come – but for the moment Bonhoeffer saw in America how the human heart is the same everywhere; how the church can capitulate to culture and collude in injustice and oppression, and how, to establish the real church, disciples need to learn from "the piety of suffering people" (Bonhoeffer's phrase) – in particular Christians of different races – in their theology and their worship.
On his return to Germany, Bonhoeffer was being drawn into more and more of an "all or nothing" Christian faith, and he was disturbed by the lack of spiritual seriousness of his fellow Lutheran churchgoers, whom he accused of "playing church". As the 1930's unfolded, the young pastor/academic saw clearly that a weak, liberal theology would not be able to resist the new popular thinking which looked forward to the socio-political revival of Germany under a strong leader as a kind of secular salvation, with strong undercurrents of resurgence of ancient nordic pagan spirituality, glorifying violence.
Metaxas describes the national struggle between the Confessing Church, authentic counter-cultural disciples such as Bonhoeffer on one hand , the new 'German Christians' advocating racial segregation and syncretism with Nazi ideology on the other, and the majority in the middle, with sympathies on one side or the other but wanting a quiet life. In the short term, Hitler wanted the church on his side, and did not persecute it as long as it progressed towards willingly submitting to become the servant of the state's programme. The 'German Christian' leaders used state power to increasingly impose regulations and restrictions affecting the church. Bonhoeffer opposed this, arguing that the church must support the state in exercise of legitimate rule, but when the state starts to set itself up as the ultimate authority without accountability, the church must question it, help its victims, and ultimately jam a stick into the spokes of its wheel.
1930's Germany saw the creation of a new, counterfeit Christianity, which replaced the cross with the swastika, the idea of universal human sinfulness and guilt before God with the guilt of the Jew and the sinless victimhood of the post-Versailles Aryan German, and the spiritual meaning of the resurrection with the idea of the victory and dominance of the volk. This creates a crisis in the church: "the confusion that inevitably arises when the Christian faith becomes too closely related to a culture or identity". It's not difficult to see parallels with counterfeit faith seen in many of today's mainline churches.
Bonhoeffer's implacable opposition to rapid change in Germany was not based in a knee-jerk conservativism or a hankering after the past. It was a conviction about the reality of God in Christ, the truth of the bible as his word, and the necessity of applying Christ's Lordship to the whole of life not just church. He saw the solutions firstly in being part of church councils and trying to turn things round from within. Then, as this seemed less likely, making a stand (for example the famous Barmen Declaration) and creating distance, differentiation, between the true church and the institution aligned with the world. Establishing good theological education was vital – using methods which did not try to do a form of "good disagreement' with the liberal worldview in their state-controlled institutions, but actively countered them. He knew that pastors needed to be formed not just by study, but in a community where disciplined discipleship and celebratory worship was learned and practiced together. Ultimately, he reluctantly saw that violent action against the state may be necessary to prevent further catastrophe, but the plot to kill Hitler, in which he was remotely involved, failed.
His ministry resulted in misunderstanding, opposition, imprisonment, early death. Wouldn't it have been better to keep his head down, survive and be there for the rebuilding after the war? Who can understand the purposes of God fully, but the bible and church history teach that the martyrdom of the prophets is never wasted. Certainly Bonhoeffer's story and his writings became inspirational for many in the post war years. We need another like him.

Miss International Leaves Her Bookprint in Haiti - Part 2
A Billboard that I was featured on throughout Port au Prince!
It was soon time to leave Cap-Haitien. We said our goodbyes and returned to Port au Prince. My mission was not complete as there was still another orphanage that I needed to visit. Encouraged by my first visit, I was excited for this one. However, I was unprepared for what awaited me. When we arrived at our destination, I immediately noticed a difference. Being in the capital and largest city, this orphanage's resources were stretched particularly thin. After asking a few questions to figure out how they operated, I learned that the government doesn't provide any funding for orphanages. Orphanages are entirely dependent upon donations.
Sobered by reality, yet emboldened by my mission, me and my pink suitcase were ready. We went through the gate and were greeted once again by smiling inquisitive faces. To have so little and yet be so grateful is truly amazing. We started off by asking one of the girls to read the Three Little Pigs to everyone. She was excited to be the center of attention! Then I shared one of my favorites!
The school supplies were given to the teachers for use throughout the year. Each child received one age appropriate book. The remainder of the books were given to the teachers to establish a library. The idea being that once a child gets tired of their book, they can trade it in for a different one. My hope is that this small library, which I am committed to adding to each year, will encourage them to keep reading and will improve their literacy skills.
The path leading to the orphanage
The Magic Pink Luggage!
The children circled up for story time
The best rendition of The Three Little Pigs that I have ever heard!
Sharing my favorite children's books! Apparently Green Eggs and Ham is global, as soon as I took it out, all of the adults said it was their favorite too!

The two flavour variants include Pink Lemonade (Raspberry & Lemon Blossom) and Original Lemonade (Lemon & Lemon Blossom)
This month we have unveiled a new, organic lemonade range for licensed venues and premium cafes, to help licensees maximise on the growing demand for organic and non-alcoholic beverages.
The Honest Lemonade range has two flavour variants, Pink Lemonade and Original Lemonade. Launching in May 2019, the two new variants are made with 12% real fruit juice. The drinks are inspired by homemade recipes; combining organic lemons, lemon blossom and sugar cane, with added raspberry juice in the Pink Lemonade variant. The variants are free from artificial sweeteners and additives and will be available in a 330ml glass bottle; the preferred format for consumers in licensed environments.
Healthier food and drink options are increasingly important to 7 out of 10 Irish consumers. Furthermore, artisan beverages are growing in popularity as health-conscious consumers seek more premium, non-alcoholic offerings for social occasions.
In addition to consumer demand for healthier, more nutritious drinks, almost 40% of Irish consumers now actively try to buy organic products . We recognise this need for great tasting, organic, and nutritious beverages, and we are also striving to enhance consumer experiences for those seeking non-alcoholic drinks when socialising. Martina Lovetinska, Head of Marketing, Coca‑Cola HBC Ireland and Northern Ireland
"The new Honest Lemonade range is perfectly positioned to respond to these evolving consumer needs. Inspired by homemade recipes, Honest Lemonade has the goodness from real fruit juice, a refreshing taste, and is presented in a premium glass pack, which is perfect for all social occasions. The brand is also proud of its organic credentials and is certified by The Soil Association. We look forward to sharing this great new range with our customers and consumers across Ireland this summer."
Honest was first launched in the US nearly 20 years ago from co-founder Seth Goldman's kitchen. The brand aims to fill a gap in the market for healthy and flavourful drinks that are not too sweet and can be enjoyed as part of an active and healthy lifestyle. Honest Lemonade joins the Honest Coffee range in Ireland and Northern Ireland.
The launch of the Honest portfolio will be supported by a fully integrated marketing campaign, to include point of sale, social and digital media, PR and targeted sampling.

Financial Chart of Accounts
Financial Management and Accounting
Chart of Accounts
A chart of accounts is a numbered list of accounts organized for tracking financial data in an organization. These accounts are organized in categories to facilitate financial reporting.
The National Center for Charitable Statistics has joined with several other major nonprofit support organizations (including The California Association of Nonprofits, CompassPoint Nonprofit Services and The California Society of CPAs) to design a Unified Chart of Accounts for use by nonprofits. This chart of accounts affords a level of consistency in accounting that facilitates comparison of data.
The Unified Chart of Accounts has also been cross-referenced by account to Internal Revenue Service annual reporting forms (Forms 990 and 990EZ), to the Office of Management and Budget Cost principles, and to the United Way of America Accounting Guide.
This chart of accounts is available for use and redistribution at several web sites, including www.nccsdataweb.urban.org. It is attached to this document.

Over the years, Trey Songz has found himself accused of all kinds of situations. For whatever reason, rumors stick to Trey Songz, but he is always proven innocent. Still, when rumors of him punching a woman in the face emerged, they made for big headlines.
Trey Songz never directly addressed the rumors, even as his alleged accuser spoke out. Instead, Trey Songz only made a couple of subliminal posts. Mostly, he focused on promoting his own work, and continuing to push his career.
Finally having enough of the rumors, Trey Songz has directly spoken out for the first time. Here, Trey Songz has explained that his legal team advised him to keep quiet. But, with so much being thrown at him, he decided to speak out, via Twitter, saying he's being "lied on and falsely accused for someone's personal gain."

Summer is the warmest of the four temperate seasons, falling between spring and autumn. At the summer solstice, the days are longest and the nights are shortest, with day-length decreasing as the season progresses after the solstice. The date of the beginning of summer varies according to climate, tradition and culture, but when it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere, and vice versa.
Winter is the coldest season of the year in temperate climates, between autumn and spring. It is caused by the axis of the Earth in the respective hemisphere being oriented away from the Sun. Different cultures define different dates as the start of winter, and some use a definition based on weather, but when it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere it is summer in the Southern Hemisphere, and vice versa. In many regions, winter is associated with snow and freezing temperatures. At the winter solstice, the days are shortest and the nights are longest, with days lengthening as the season progresses after the solstice.
June, July, and August are the hottest months in the year and December, January, and February are the hottest months in the year
Spring is the season between winter and summer. Autumn is the season between summer and winter. Both seasons are beautiful; they are often colorful and wet. Although there is plenty of natures beauty in spring and fall, there are also some differences as well such as, weather, color, activities. I really enjoy to be outside during both seasons, but I prefer the fall season, because of the way nature changes everything to prepare for winter.
In spring, the air begins to warm; temperatures slowly rise as the days get longer. Snow and ice melt and more rain falls down during this season. I hear the sound of the last frost crackling under my feet. Spring is full of showers and flowers. Leaves on trees start budding out and begins to turn green, flowers and grass start growing thanks to the temperatures...

Cambodian Children Face Huge Struggles
"Children from poor families in Cambodia are highly vulnerable, often facing daily threats to their health, education, safety and overall development. Every day in Cambodia, children are exposed to abuse, violence, exploitation and neglect" (Child Protection UNICEF Cambodia).
Widespread poverty leaves half the population at risk
• Nearly one in five live below the poverty line of $1.25/day.
• But at least as many more people live on the edge or just above the poverty line.
• This means that about half the population remains extremely vulnerable.
• For example, a small financial loss of just 30 cents a day would cause Cambodia's poverty rate to double!
Poor nutrition continues to stifle healthy development
• 29% of the population are under weight.
• 40% of the population exhibit stunted growth.
• 40% of children under 5 are both malnourished and stunted.
• 50% of the population don't have access to adequate sanitation.
Decent education and jobs remain a dream for so many
• Less than half of all kids complete primary school.
• Many does even enrol and school attendance is low.
• This particular impacts poor and rural children.

OK, I let my inner smart-a** out for a bit but really folks, its 2.4%, that's a rounding error for the Government. How much did we all lose in our take-home pay after Jan. 1st, how much has the jump in gasoline prices pulled from our own budgets? Myself, it's an 8% plus hit on my bottom line, if politicians were serious about getting a handle on our financial problems that would be a good target for them to shoot for. Any pain felt from the sequester (Obamageddon) is going to be deliberately inflicted for political purposes so the growth and spending can continue.The likely effect is nothing really changes, Monday the sun rises for another day, we get up, we go to work, we come home, and the sun sets. Government agencies and programs swallow more money, we hear of more waste, all the while listening to the constant drone of the calls for more revenue and "fair share"
For now I think I'll fire up the grill, pop a cold one and watch the "Obamanation" crumble under the strain of the 2.4% cut in GROWTH… or I'll just go to work… I haven't decided yet. Either way we better rest-up for the next weekly crises.

Background Little is known of the impact of social factors on mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting ( CABG ). We explored sex- and age-specific associations between mortality risk after CABG and marital status, income, and education. Methods and Results This population-based register study included 110 742 CABG patients (21.3% women) from the SWEDEHEART registry (Swedish Web-system for Enhancement and Development of Evidence-based Care in Heart Disease Evaluated According to Recommended Therapies) operated 1992 to 2015. Cox regression models were used to study the relation between social factors and all-cause mortality. Never having been married compared with being married/cohabiting was associated with a higher risk in women than in men (hazard ratio 1.32, 95% CI 1.20-1.44) versus 1.17 (1.13-1.22), P=0.030 between sex. The lowest income quintile, compared with the highest, was associated with higher risk in men than in women (hazard ratio 1.44 [1.38-1.51] versus 1.25 [1.14-1.38], P=0.0036). Lowest education level was associated with higher risk without sex difference (hazard ratio 1.15 [1.11-1.19] versus 1.25 [1.16-1.35], P=0.75). For unmarried women aged 60 years at surgery with low income and low education, mortality 10 years after surgery was 18%, compared with 11% in married women with high income and higher education level. The median life expectancy was 4.8 years shorter. Corresponding figures for 60-year-old men were 21% versus 12% mortality risk at 10 years and 5.0 years shorter life expectancy. Conclusions There are strong associations between social factors and mortality risk after CABG in both men and women. These results emphasize the importance of developing and implementing secondary prevention strategies for CABG patients with disadvantages in social factors.
