Get The Look in 2 Minutes: Must Have Valentine's Day HairstyleBy medullaco on , in hairstyles, How-To
Bad hair day on Valentine's Day? Cupid can get lost with that nonsense. We've got the perfect trick to turn that lived in hairdo into a sleek, sexy evening look. Whether you've got a hot date, casual dinner plans, or a galentines extravaganza, you're gonna love this look – and it can even be done on (gasp) unwashed hair!
A simple look with brushed out, second-day waves and a flirty braid is as intriguing as it is effortless.
This look was originally created by Master Stylist, Kelly Araujo, on our favourite Breakfast Television co-host, Dina Pugliese.
Step 1: Create a deep part on the favourite side of your head. Take a section of hair and divide it horizontally into 3 parts – this is going to be the beginning of your braid.
Step 2: Begin braiding underneath the middle section, that way you'll create a dutch braid. Grab about a 1 inch piece of hair from above the braid and join it to the top section. Continue the braid but be sure to only add hair to the top section, not the bottom section.
Step 3: Grab another 1 inch section of hair from above the braid and continue this pattern, being sure to direct your braid horizontally to the back of your head.
Step 4: Repeat until you have reached the back of your ear. Pin the braid underneath your hair so the ends are hidden.
Step 5: Brush out second-day waves using a Denman brush. Use some dry texture spray at the roots, tousle, and you're done!
Pro-Styling Tip: Gently pull each braid loop apart and flatten it to give your braids a fuller appearance.
There you have it, the easiest and classiest dang hairstyle you've ever pulled off! So get up, go out and rock it – Cupid will never know what hit him.
Oh, and Happy Valentine's Day from all of us at Medulla & Co.

RIM's stock gets 6% boost
Company gains on back of new smartphone releases
Research In Motion's stock gained 6% earlier this week following the launch of a series of well-received BlackBerry smartphones, according to Reuters.
The stock has gained almost 50% since hitting a five-year low on 8th August.
RIM's stock increase has been aided by Google's planned purchase of Motorola Mobility, which analysts have speculated could push wireless companies to embrace alternatives to the Google software.
Ontario-based RIM also holds a solid share of mobile patents, particularly in data compression, encryption and synchronisation.
RIM's stock hit a slippery slope in February with stock skidding downwards on the back of negative company news, the company's earnings have missed expectations and it slashed its yearly forecasts.
The company's much-lauded PlayBook launched to dismal industry reviews.
RIM's new versions of its BlackBerry Bold, Torch and Curve smartphones, launched this month, have won praise in the industry and stock speculators are picking up shares in the company because they are cheap.
RIM's Nasdaq-listed stock closed 5.9% higher at $32.55 on Tuesday, after jumping 5.3% on Monday and 3.4% on Friday.
On Aug 8 the stock closed at $21.87, its lowest level since September 2006 on a stock-split adjusted basis.

The best virtual private networks supply a stable balance of features, server location, connectivity protocols, plus price. Some are amazing for occasional use, others are targeted towards getting around the positioning restrictions companies placed on their apps and services, and many others are aimed at people who do heavy downloading and desire a little privacy while they perform it. Here is exactly what you need to try to find.
Once you're researching a virtual private network, you will see terms like SSL/TLS (sometimes referred to as OpenVPN support,) PPTP, IPSec, L2TP, and different VPN types. We inquired Samara Lynn, Lead Analyst for Networking and Small Business in PCMag, whether or not a user buying VPN翻牆 should search for you over another. "SSL is what is commonly used these days. Strictly, each protocol has its own advantages and drawbacks, of course, when you're concerned about any of it (specifically, PPTP vulnerabilities,) you're probably already aware of them. Most users don't need to be worried with any of it users on the other hand, are all probably using SSL or IPSec clients anyway.
Based on what you're employing a VPN for, your service's location--and also the exit locations it is possible to choose--are important to think about. If you wish to have around a location restriction and see TV for example, you would like to make sure your VPN service provider has servers within the united kingdom. If you are worried about privacy or state-sponsored snooping, you may choose to pick a service worked outside your home country. In the same way, in the event the service is based on the usa, they truly are susceptible to US legislation, and might be forced to start usage data to the government upon request. Lots of people earn more of the than they have to (we've seen over seas services turnover their data to friendly governments without any hesitation over repeatedly ), but it's important to make sure that the VPN翻牆 has servers in a number of locations--at least the positioning you're interested in--when shopping.
When you connect with a VPN推荐, you are trusting the VPN service provider with important computer own data. Your communications could be secure from eavesdropping, however other systems over the exact same VPN--especially the operatorcan log your data should they opt. If it bothers you (e.g., you are the privacy/security urge or your downloader), make sure that you know that your provider's charging policies prior to enrolling. This pertains to location too well--if your employer does not keep logs, it may not matter.
Utilizing a VPN does not mean that you're invulnerable. You still need to make sure that you're using HTTPS whenever possible, and also you should still be careful about what you download. Some VPN service providers notably mobile ones package anti viral scanners and their customers together to make sure you're not downloading trojans or viruses. Whenever you're shopping, see if the providers you are interested in offer protection while you're connected.
If you're going to spend less on a VPN service provider (as well as in the event that you use a free one, frankly), you should have the ability to have a consistent experience across all of your devices. Most providers offer desktop and mobile solutions for human users, and while corporate and faculty networks could possibly be a bit behind the curve , they're catching up. Make sure you don't have to make use of two distinct VPNs with two different policies and arrangements just because you wish to secure your phone.
With a virtual private network, it's true your ISP can no more have access to a surfing data, however the virtual private network provider now does. Many VPNs also sell that data may or may not do, so in like that you could possibly be right back where you started.

So, when any user comes in contact with our brand (i.e. signup for blog updates, chats with us on Drift, Signup for the Product, Requests a demo of the product, fills in the Contact Sales form, etc), they start getting emails (automated or Non-Automated) from different teams (Marketing, Sales, Product). My main purpose is to have a check and balance on the amount of emails users get so as to not bother them. How can I achieve this? Are there any tools for this? PS: Keeping in mind, different teams are using different tools for reaching out to these users (PersisIQ/Direct emails by Sales Team, Drip Campaign from SendGrid, marketing emails from MailChimp/Autopilot)
You can integrate a CRM like Pipedrive or Hubspot with Zapier and then the other email systems you may use to send those emails. This way you can keep a record within the CRM itself.
Customer data flows in loops to and from profiles. You use profile data to trigger & send messages, then track the responses from that (email opened, email clicked etc.) back into a profile.
You need to make sure all these profiles are integrated together, including a master suppression list to throttle everything. Make sure all your emails are tracked back too.
We wrote about how to do this and flip the logic from "what email can I send?" to "what email should this person get today?". Check it out here: https://www.hull.io/blog/email-personalization/
Hi Arun,
It sounds like you need a way to join up your data from a number of platforms and then analyze this complete set of customer data with a Business Intelligence tool so you can feedback to your team, for example on the total number of emails a group of customers has been sent from the company.
With Vero (a similar tool to Autopilot - and a company that I work for) you can send email campaign data to segment.com or stitchdata.com, then you can ETL (extract, transform and load) this to your data warehouse (such as Amazon's Redshift, Google BigQuery) and then use a BI tool (like Mode Analytics or Looker) to query data from your data warehouse and build custom reports, like the number of emails a group of customers was sent. You should be able to use this model to send data from a number of platforms and store it centrally in your data warehouse so it's available for you as a complete data set for your analysis. I'm not sure what your current stack is so I appreciate this might be a big step/change.
You might find this diagram and information useful: https://www.getvero.com/reporting/#reports-webhooks
You can also take this a step further by using the insights to build segments or send events back to your email tools so that you can create new segments and triggers for your email campaigns, for example, you might want to exclude a group of customers from a less relevant/high performing email campaign in one system, so that your customers don't suffer email fatigue.
Hope this is helpful. There are lots of other useful resources available on this topic so let me know if you'd like me to post some.
Just so you know www.getvero.com can look after all newsletter, behavioral and transactional email campaign types if you were looking for one platform for your teams to use.

Destructive criticism in social networks: the dark side of web 2.0
Listen this article
Experts debate the phenomenon of excessive criticism on the Internet and its consequences in real scenarios when it transforms into violence
Creating a profile in social networks and having a little interaction in them is enough to become victims or emitters of scathing criticism that, camouflaged under freedom of expression of which web 2.0 communicates, can affect mental health and public image of others.
Leer en español: Críticas destructivas en redes sociales: el lado oscuro de la web 2.0
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 800 thousand people commit suicide per year, this being the second cause of death in adolescents and young adults since 2016. Many of these cases have been associated with the pressure exerted in social networks by teasing, harassment, distortion of reality and the promotion of anxiety and depression disorders.
In this society it has become necessary to express, through new technologies, the events that affect us as individuals or as a community, from a very personal position. With the aim of generating debates that lead to a possible solution, it has become popular to use a language that jumps the barrier of respect until falling into the macabre game of offense.
"I think we are at a very important point on the subject of criticism. I think we overflow too much anger, I think we lack prudence, we lack generosity and, above all, we need to ask before issuing a trial. We have to first know and check the information. Today there is much access to false information, we can not assume that everything they say about a person is true", says Chilean psychologist and youtuber Pilar Sordo in her most recent video entitled The Power of Criticism and Social Networks .
At the beginning of this year, the Colombian comedian "La Liendra" was news when he was intercepted by motorcyclists who broke the panoramic front of his car for a comment he made on his Instagram account about the population residing on the Caribbean Coast, which was not well received by some followers. To stop this situation, the young man had to clarify to the public that everything was a simple joke.
Given the sharpness of this phenomenon of non tolerance with diverse thinking, the question that arises is the following: How do critics in virtual environments manage to transcend reality with violent acts that threaten the physical integrity of a person?
According to the Spanish psychologist and writer Patricia Ramírez , this behavior is derived from the accumulation of emotions such as anger, feelings such as frustration, the eagerness with which life is faced and the poor mental balance.

"Another reason is that we do not know how to criticize constructively; we think that conflicts are resolved by insulting or speaking louder, and without arguments ; Then, people end up attacking others with the idea that they get power. There are also people who are clumsy when talking and not trained in social skills, and many other people do so with the intention of provoking you. The provocation is another way of relating to people. There are people who find it funny, but I do not", says Ramírez.
However, to determine which actions are key to avoid negative criticism affecting the moral of the human being, the Colombian actress Martha Isabel Bolaños and the American influencer, Tom Bull, expressed what are their most frequent behaviors when the comments boxes in their networks social networks register messages with offensive content towards them.
"I ignore them. I understand that it is normal not to like everyone, and if they insult me I know that it is the problem of who says it, not mine. Everyone takes what he has in his heart, "says Bolaños.
While Bull argues that everything is a matter of attitude. "To be honest, I rarely receive criticism of that kind; however, these usually hurt me for about 15 seconds, then I laugh at them and that's it. "
In conclusion, the psychologist Patricia Ramírez adds that if there is a solution and this lies in the proper handling of the paralinguistic language that has a message, that is, the intonation, the volume, the pauses and their content because, ultimately, "you have to get trained, because there is no gene for this ".

EU Imposes Sales Conditions on Russia's Gazprom
By RAF CASERT
BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union on Thursday imposed obligations on Russian state-owned energy giant Gazprom to improve the flow of gas at competitive prices in eastern EU nations, but did not fine the company.
EU Antitrust Commissioner Margrethe Vestager said Gazprom will have to ease its hold on the market there, giving consumers "an effective tool to make sure that the price they pay is competitive."
Following three years of legal action, the decision means Gazprom will have to remove restrictions on customers to resell gas across borders and improve gas flows to members like Bulgaria and the Baltic nations.
If Gazprom breaks any of the obligations, the EU can impose a fine of up to 10 percent of the company's global turnover.
The issue is important to Eastern European countries, which import most of their gas from Russia and are worried about the political leverage that gives Moscow. The European Commission says Gazprom has used that market dominance to obtain advantages on price and to control the pipelines through which its gas flows.
Vestager acknowledged that some had been looking for a big fine on the Russian company "no matter the solution on the table," especially after the EU fined U.S. software giant Microsoft over half a billion euros five years ago.
"However, a fine would not have achieved all of our competition objectives in this case," she said, insisting that she was instead looking for Gazprom to change its practices and open up to EU rules of fair competition.
Gazprom said it was satisfied with Vestager's decision. "We believe that today's decision is the most reasonable outcome for the well-functioning of the entire European gas market," Gazprom's Deputy CEO Alexander Medvedev said in a statement carried by Russia's state Tass news agency.
The decision comes at a time of increasing tension between Russia and the EU, ranging from the annexation of Crimea in Ukraine to cyberattacks against EU nations.

When will I have achieved this goal? When overhead cupboards have been built across one of my kitchen walls.
Why did I choose this goal? Living in an apartment we're a little short on space. Evn though the kitchen is a decent size, the under-bench space just doesn't cut it. I'd love to get overhead cupboards installed built across one of the walls.

The film crew behind Outsider Visions Artist edited specially for us video footage of Summer greeting fans and signing autographs during the MCM Hannover Comic Con last weekend. Summer, flanked by her Firefly co-star Sean Maher on her right, was all smiles and took time with each attendee - having a chat and penning her autographs on posters or photos of herself. Watch the footage below:
You can watch more images of Summer at MCM Hannover Comic Con 2017 in the gallery.
For the record, Outsider Visions Artist already sent us video footage of Summer at FACTS convention 2015 in Ghent, Belgium. If you, too, are interested in sharing your story/photos/footage, just post them in the comment section below or send us an email.

It must be hard to have to be always smiling and if she just relaxes for a moment the photo will look like she's in a bad mood but she's just acting normally.

Ice cream is an evolving market with new trends and flavors coming about frequently. Sales of ice cream at convenience stores took a hit in 2016, especially in the form of single servings. The only kind of ice cream that saw a growth in sales were premium offerings and bigger multi-serving tubs. Fancier types of take home ice cream and innovative flavors helped propel this growth. Movie tie in products also sold well. Ice cream is not a seasonal product either. There is demand for it year round.
Key Takeaways:
- Ice creams were a convenience store product that underperformed in 2016, declining in both dollar and volume growth.
- Stats from the The Australasian Association of Convenience Stores note that it was the option of take home tubs which salvaged the frozen treat sector.
- Even with an overall fall in frozen treat sales in convenience stores, convenience markets still netted 23% of the value share of impulse buyings of the sweet treat.
"As trends in ice cream come and go, sales in the category are constantly changing depending on a number of factors, including the prevailing level of New Product Development (NPD) offerings."

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary DiseaseInfo Center
Having sex can be quite the workout. It can take the wind right out of you. If you have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD ), shortness of breath might be an even bigger problem during sex.
Breathe Easier with Acupuncture
Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years. Even though modern science has yet to confirm the usefulness of this ancient medicine, it looks like acupuncture may help patients with a common lung disease.
Bacterial Infection Makes COPD Worse
Many diseases are caused by or related to infections. Likewise, infections can worsen almost any disease, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD ) - one of the most common lung diseases.
COPD Education Program Goes Awry
When patients receive education and self-management tools for their disease, they usually have better outcomes. But what if those tools seem to hurt rather than help?
Secondhand Smoke Does Hurts Kids
Kids may not appear to develop conditions from secondhand smoke when they're being exposed to it in childhood. But, they can still experience respiratory problems later in life.
Heart Health Could Predict COPD Fate
A quick heart test could go be very useful for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease ( COPD ) patients. Heart health could help predict how long COPD patients may live.
Deadly Dozen for COPD Patients
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease ( COPD ) is deadly enough without help. In a new study, 12 diseases in particular had the strongest association with increasing the risk for COPD patients.
Getting a Head Start on COPD Treatment
Early detection of a disease can lead to better treatment. A new way to detect Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease ( COPD ) may let doctors get an early start on treatment.
Getting to the Roots of COPD
The origins of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease ( COPD ) may be found in the blood. A new study shows how smoking causes immune system cells to travel into lung tissue.
Childhood Smoke Exposure Increased COPD Risk
Cigarette smoke can stay with you long after it clears the room. Children exposed to cigarette smoke have a greater risk of developing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease ( COPD ).

Vegan Mousse will be your new favorite healthy dessert! 1259sharesThis post may contain affiliate links. Read my privacy policy. Table of contentsIngredients you need for vegan mousse How to make vegan chocolate mousseHealth benefits of Medjool datesCoconut milk vs. coconut cream?Pudding vs. mousse?This Vegan Chocolate Mousse is simply fabulous. This vegan mousse is made with Medjool dates so it is also nutrient rich.Here is what you'll need:Medjool dates, pittedUnsweetened coconut milk (canned)Unsweetened cocoa powderVegan chocolate chips (I like the Enjoy Life Foods)Coconut oilWatercan be served in jars with cherries, strawberries, raspberriesHow do you make vegan mousse?The best part of this vegan mousse? It's so easy to make! Here is how:Step 1: Make sure your coconut milk has been chilled in the fridge for 1-2 hours (or more is better). The coconut needs to solidify so you can use the full fat coconut cream bliss. The full fat cream will separate from the water and you will use the full fat cream, not the water. Step 2: Soften the dates if they feel stiff by submerging them in a bowl of water for 10-15 minutes. If your dates are super fresh you won't have to do this step. Also, remove the pits if not already pitted.Step 3: In a Vitamix or powerful blender, blend the dates with the coconut cream, and filtered water. Then, take the melted chocolate & coconut oil mixture and unsweetened cocoa powder and blend into the dates.Step 4: Sneak a bite or 2, but then place in a bowl in the fridge for 1-2 hours for the mousse to come together.Ideas for serving vegan chocolate mousse:I love serving with fresh berries: raspberries, strawberries, blueberries or blackberries.If cherries are in season you can top with cherries too!Make it into a parfait: grab a jar and place the mousse in, top with fruit and then your favorite vegan (non-dairy) whipped cream: coconut or almond whipped cream.Health Benefits of Dates:They are high in potassium, magnesium, fiber and antioxidants.Some studies have shown dates may promote and ease natural labor for pregnant women when consumed during the last few weeks of pregnancy!Dates are an excellent natural sweetener. For example if a recipe calls for 1 cup of sugar you can sub it with 1 cup of date paste.What type of coconut milk should I buy?Canned, unsweetened coconut milk. 13.5 oz. Our goal is to isolate the full fat cream, so chilled the canned coconut milk so let the coconut cream separate from the water is KEY!Kroll's Korner tip: Purchase canned unsweetened coconut milk and place it in your refrigerator so the milk can harden. (At least 2-3 hours or overnight).When you open the can, about half of the can will be the hardened, full fat coconut cream, and the liquid coconut milk left can be discarded or used for another culinary purpose.Or serve in small ramekins or cups at partiesWhat is the difference between pudding and mousse?Both are smooth and creamy, so what sets them apart?Pudding is traditionally made with a mixture of milk and sugar, that's cooked and thickened with cornstarch.Mousse starts with a base similar to pudding, minus the cornstarch, to which beaten cream or beaten egg whites are folded in. Instead of cream or egg whites, I used the coconut milk to make it healthier. You can also use avocado!How they are different: They different on how the pudding and mousse is thickened and the textures. Pudding is semisolid and more dense, while mousse has a lighter, airier texture.Some of my other favorite chocolate dessert recipes are these black bean avocado brownies and Oatmeal Raisin Chocolate Chip Cookie Skillet drizzled with chocolate! mmmm…easy and fun to make festive for the holidays!I hope you love this one!

Then, you can use the coconut cream for the mousse and discard the remaining liquid in the can (or save it for another culinary use). In a powerful blender or food processor, you will blend your dates, full fat coconut cream and water together. Then, in a microwave safe bowl melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together.

Add in the melted chocolate and cocoa powder into the blender and mix until smooth. You may need to add water (2-4 Tablespoons) to get it to blend and smooth out. Pour the smooth mousse into individual serving dishes and place in fridge for 1 hour (or if you're like me and can't wait, you can sneak a few bites!

text: US presidential hopeful Donald Trump has told The Wall Street Journal newspaper there is "zero chance" he will drop out of the presidential race, amid mounting criticism and calls to quit following revelations of indecent comments about women. Trump said he will "never, ever give up", according to the report published on Saturday, ahead of a statement from his vice presidential running mate Mike Pence, declaring that he can "not condone his remarks and cannot defend them". The media and establishment want me out of the race so badly - I WILL NEVER DROP OUT OF THE RACE, WILL NEVER LET MY SUPPORTERS DOWN! #MAGA — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 8, 2016 Pence said: "As a husband and a father, I was offended by the words and actions described by Donald Trump in the 11-year-old video released yesterday. I am grateful that he has expressed remorse and apologised to the American people." Trump's wife, Melania, also weighed in on the controversy, saying her husband's remarks were "unacceptable and offensive", but added that she had accepted his apology. She also appealed to voters to accept Trump's apology. READ MORE: Trump for dummies On Saturday afternoon, Arizona Senator John McCain, the 2008 Republican nominee for president, announced he has withdrawn his support for Trump, saying "it impossible to continue to offer even conditional support for his candidacy". He said he and his wife, Cindy, will not be voting for Trump. There are no excuses for Donald Trump's offensive behavior. Cindy & I will not vote for him. My full stmt: https://t.co/MOw0rx4LSI — John McCain (@SenJohnMcCain) October 8, 2016 Both McCain and Romney stopped short of calling for Trump's withdrawal from the election. Other Republican party members, meanwhile, were adamant that Trump leave the race altogether, with Carly Fiorina, an opponent during the primary, urging him to "step aside" and for the party "to replace him with [Governor] Mike Pence." Republican Senator Mike Lee of the US state of Utah also urged Trump to quit the race, as has a growing list of members of Congress and other elected officials. Another senator, Mike Crapo of Idaho, also joined in the chorus of calls for Trump to quit: "This is not a decision that I have reached lightly, but his pattern of behaviour left me no choice." Meanwhile, Republican Senators Mark Kirk and John Thune took to social media urging Trump to withdraw from the race. . @realDonaldTrump should drop out. @GOP should engage rules for emergency replacement. — Mark Kirk (@SenatorKirk) October 8, 2016 Donald Trump should withdraw and Mike Pence should be our nominee effective immediately. — Senator John Thune (@SenJohnThune) October 8, 2016 Trump bragged about kissing, groping and trying to have sex with women on a video recording released by the Washington Post and NBC News on Friday. The remarks were captured by a live microphone that Trump did not appear to know was recording their conversation. 'History of lewd comments' The video's release comes just two days before Trump will face his rival, Hillary Clinton, in their second presidential debate, and as he confronts a series of stories about his past comments about women. After the release of the video, Trump apologised via his Twitter page. "I've never said I'm a perfect person, nor pretended to be someone that I'm not. I've said and done things I regret ... Anyone who knows me knows these words don't reflect who I am. I said it, I was wrong and I apologise," he said in a filmed statement. Bill Schneider, a political analyst and professor of policy, government and international affairs at George Mason University, told Al Jazeera that Trump's words were "devastating" and "poisonous". Donald Trump blasted over lewd comments about women "Most Americans already think he's not qualified [to be US president], but this just confirms that," Schneider said. "If he stays in the race, that's his decision, but he's almost certain to lose." Schneider said, however, that despite the blunder, Trump's "core supporters will probably stay with him". Charlie Wolf, a Republican commentator, told Al Jazeera that Trump's statements were indefensible. "But I also think, there is something to be said about the timing of this," Wolf said, adding "there's hypocrisy" about the controversy, citing the record of former President Bill Clinton. As president, Clinton was caught having sexual relations with a woman, other than his wife Hillary, who is the Democratic presidential candidate. Trump has a long history of making lewd and highly sexual comments towards and about women. The Associated Press news agency reported this week that during his years as a reality TV star on The Apprentice, Trump repeatedly demeaned women with sexist language, rating female contestants by the size of their breasts, and talking about which ones he would like to have sex with.

Gary Police Cpl. John Aribey, who's in charge of the K-9 unit for his department, said a national K-9 training workshop being sponsored by the Valparaiso Police Department this week is a boon for Gary police.
"Obviously we don't have the means a lot of the times to attend these workshops so having it close is really nice," he said while his Dutch German Shepherd Nero sat nearby at the Multiple Agency Academic Cooperative, or MAAC, in Valparaiso.
The department, through community donations, got its first two dogs eight years ago, and the K-9 unit now has four officers, Aribey said, adding Nero is trained for narcotics and utility work, including tracking and searching.
"We come out here to network, to train and meet master trainers," he said.
In all, said Valparaiso Police Sgt. Todd Kobitz, a 15-year K-9 officer who organized the event, said around 100 K-9 handlers from throughout the U.S. and Canada are attending the North American Police Work Dog Association national seminar.
"For NAPWDA, our primary goal is to build stronger working dog teams," he said, adding that results in greater safety for communities, dogs and their handlers.
The handlers come from as far away as Hawaii and Massachusetts, and as nearby as Portage and Hobart, Kobitz said, adding the Porter County Sheriff's Department is assisting as host agency. Valparaiso hosted the state seminar in 2013.
"We've never held the nationals," Kobitz said, adding the seminar continues through Thursday at MAAC, Benjamin Franklin Middle School, the former Hayes Leonard Elementary School, and other places throughout the community.
Handlers can receive national certification for the training they receive, which officials said is crucial when they are called on to testify in court, and work on a wide array of skills, including sniffing out cadavers, accelerant, narcotics, explosives, and search and rescue, Kobitz said.
The purpose of the national seminars, which rotate around the country every year, is twofold, said Rick Ashabranner, president of the NAPWDA.
The dog teams can get national certification, he said, "and apart from that, they have the opportunity to pick the brains of trainers from around the country."
Smaller departments don't have access to trainers, he said, adding their officers can take what they learn at the seminar back to their departments.
In one of the buildings on the MAAC campus, Tommy Pleasant, a master trainer from San Antonio, Texas, said dogs at his station would be detecting ignitable liquids.
The seminar, he added, "puts all of us on the same sheet of music. You get to see all different types of dogs and correct all these issues."
Zuch, a chocolate Labrador retriever, came bounding up the stairs of the building with handler Donnie Pfeiffer, an investigator and K-9 handler with the Olathe Fire Department in Kansas.
"This is a chocolate Lab that's just outstanding," Pleasant said before Zuch, full of energy, sniffed out various locations for accelerants and was rewarded by one of two squeaky toys, and sometimes both, stashed in Pfeiffer's back pockets.
Latest Post-Tribune
Pfeiffer said he started working with Zuch seven years ago.
"By coming here, you get time with a master trainer as well as a trainer so if you have issues, they help you with that," Pfeiffer said, adding he learns something new "every time" he attends one of the programs.
"As a handler you can create problems and not know you're creating them," he said, adding there are other benefits to the seminar. "You expand your network. You're meeting with people from all over the country."

I keep several collections. Some I have already mentioned on this blog, like my ocarinas and my glass candy containers, but I don't think I've ever shown you any of my jeweled trinket boxes. They are small metal boxes shaped like animals. They are decorated with enamel and imitation gems.
I don't have the money to add to my collection often, so I rarely shop for new items. Every once in a while, though, I happen across one that I can't resist. I found this adorable blue crab last year and put it on my 2012 Christmas Wish List. My mom was kind enough to buy it for me. Then, using some Christmas cash, I bought the smaller one to be a companion. I thought they'd look good together. And they do, don't they?
My collection is small (a snail, a lizard, a seahorse, a fish, and a bird), so getting two new ones is very exciting, and that's why jeweled trinket boxes are some of My Favorite Things today.

Happy New Year! We're rapidly coming to the end of our two months in NZ. It's been a precious time with family and friends – and it's been amazing being a tourist in the country I grew up in! We're fortunate to have friends and family scattered all over the country so we've pulled in all sorts of favours and enjoyed all the beauty NZ has to offer.
Having spent most of the past year being a tourist, it's been interesting to compare the good, bad and ugly between NZ and Albania's approach to tourism. NZ is arguably a world leader in this area and Albania is definitely the new kid on the block – still a little rough around the edges, but with loads of potential. Here's a few things I've noticed…
Clean and green
I've said it before and I'll say it again… Albania has got to sort out its litter problem. Being in NZ's pristine countryside has highlighted for me again how significantly Albania's landscapes are spoiled by the litter that lies everywhere. Kiwi's take pride in keeping their country clean. There is so much to be proud of in Albania and Albanians could do with taking some pride in their country.
Seriously NZ, what's with the terrible wifi access? How can hotels still get away with charging so much for wifi? Astonishingly, Albania totally wins this one. Free wifi is readily available – almost everywhere. And I could get a 3G network in the depths of the Theth valley (arguably one of the remotest areas of Europe) yet have no network service whatsoever in large areas of not-that-rural NZ.
Get online
Ironically, while Albania has great wifi access, there are relatively few tourism-related businesses online. These days, tourists book everything online. If you don't have an online presence you will not be noticed. This was never more obvious than when we were in Thethi. The guest house we stayed in was the only one in the area offering online booking – and it was noticeably busier than any other accommodation provider in the entire valley. If Albania is going to become the tourism hotspot it deserves, and desires, to be, its tourism providers are going to have to get online.
Leave it be
I have often said that one of the things I love most about NZ is how we interact with the nature around us. Other countries build all over their areas of outstanding natural beauty… NZ just lets it be. It works around nature, not over it. Albania is struggling with this at the moment and is attempting to undo some bad development along the coastline. But I worry that if the coming tourism boom isn't properly managed, Albania risks loosing a significant part of what makes it so special.
Stop the eye-rolling
New Zealanders are very friendly – but they don't tend to suffer fools. There is a straightforward, brusque-ness about much of NZ's customer service which, frankly, can feel like being reprimanded by your mum. There's much to be admired in this no-nonsense attitude but I feel perhaps there's something to be learned from the Albanian approach to hospitality. There have been times when I've felt a little sorry for tourists bumping up against the Kiwi form of customer service. They can look a little stunned – like they didn't expect to get the eye-roll and 'are you that stupid' reaction to what they felt was a reasonable question.
Make it easy to get around
Having grown up with NZ's love for the motor vehicle, in my mind there was no way you could get around NZ without your own car. And to be fair, there's no denying that it makes life so much easier and we have been so fortunate to have had the loan of a friend's car for our time here. Despite this, it has been great to see (and experience) how much easier it has become to get around NZ sans private vehicle. And Albania really needs to crack this if its to successfully become a tourist hotspot. Currently visitors to Albania have the option of either renting a car and risking their lives on the roads, or gaining enough language skills to enable them to use the somewhat anarchic public transport system of furgons and mini-buses. In fact, it was only in the last few months that Albania finally got a published bus timetable.
So with less than three weeks so go in NZ, we are spending as much time as we can with family and friends. I can say genuinely that I've enjoyed my visit home more than any other visit I've had before. It has been so much fun to see NZ through my hubby's eyes. And I've loved those moments when the car has climbed over the crest of another hill, or crawled around a sharp corner, and an entire new picture-postcard vista has unfurled before us and my hubby utters an awestruck 'WOW!'. Priceless!

In the first Bento Box, I only had a couple of light pink squares so I knew I wanted to add a few more. Then I bought a fun new fabric that was just asking to be included. So I made four new squares (two with yellow) and headed for the design wall. For the first quilt, I focused on arranging the green throughout the quilt. This time I divided all the squares into light and dark (by outside fabric) and then by color.
After three of four trips between the design wall and the computer with the camera, I think I'm ready to sew. Well, after uploading the photo, I admit I am going to switch two more squares (noticed the left edge is much darker than the right edge) and THEN I'll be ready to sew. BTW, I have 6 quarter blocks left over–the start of another quilt?? Not any time soon I think.

Landscape Staging Tips to Help Sell Your Home
Practical front yard appealIt's never a good idea for a realtor to put your "For Sale" sign in a messy flower bed, un-edged lawn, and overgrown lawn.
If you are selling your home, your goal is to present an attractive, well-maintained landscape. Your lawn shouldn't look like it will take too much work, which might intimidate buyers. It also shouldn't look like it will be too expensive to care for.
Stage your landscapeIn much the same way that you stage the interior of your home for sale, you should "stage" your landscape. Clean, refresh, and declutter. Then declutter some more.
Here are landscape staging tips to help sell your home, starting with the outside.
- Remove debris, fallen branches, leaves. Pull weeds from both your lawn and your landscape beds. Deadhead your flower garden. Remove plants that look like they are struggling.
- Trim hedges and shrubs, especially those that are up against your home. Make sure that bushes haven't overgrown your front windows or front porch.
- Add color with seasonal flowers. If you haven't tended flowering beds and cultivated perennials, you can add annuals to brighten the landscaping. Plant strategically so that flowerbeds extend the lines of your home. In North Carolina there are great choices for every time of year. Consult an annual flower guide specific to coastal North Carolina.
- Instead of a flower garden, purchase flowering plants for your front steps. Choose a color that pops from the street. Many garden stores have attractive flower and foliage combinations pre-planted in nice quality pots. A pair of matching planters on the porch are attractive. Add planters at varying heights if you have room.
- Add new fresh mulch to all garden beds. Spring for the expensive option; pine straw is less attractive than rich brown mulch. Mulch has the added bonus of making your plants stand out.
- Add edging to paths and beds. Use a high quality ending material like aluminum, steel, or fiberglass. Don't waste your money on the inexpensive flexible plastic edging; it will look cheap and often doesn't stay in place.
- Create tree surrounds with bricks, or use mulch and edging.
- If you are planning on moving treasured plants with you - like those hosta you can't leave behind - remove them now and transfer to pots that you can put in the garage when you are showing your home. Otherwise, mark those plants and make sure that your agent knows which are going with you.
- Fix and adjust the irrigation system. Replace mal-functioning sprinkler heads. Turn off sprinklers during open houses and when you have a scheduled showing. Make sure that you leave instructions on operation of the irrigation system for your buyer.
- Wrap and store your hose. If you don't have a hose caddy, consider purchasing one. Store garden tools, empty pots, and other gardening paraphernalia out of sight. Now is the time to pack away your quirky garden decor. Remember: declutter.
- Make sure that outside faucets don't drip and that they are well-maintained.
- Power wash your driveway, front sidewalk, and front porch.
- Pick up dog droppings, patch urine-spots, and keep your pets off your lawn while your home is on the market.
- Repair and replace discolored or broken brick walls, stepping stones, gravel paths, and paved walkways. Make sure that flagstone bed borders are in good shape. If you don't have walls, borders, or paths, consider adding them to accent your landscaping.
The effort that you put into perfecting your landscaping will pay off when you sell your home. Many realtors estimate that a well-tended lawn and exterior spaces can add up to 10% to the value of your property.
Reap the landscaping benefit
If you have a thumb that is in no way green, you can hire a landscaping professional to do a one-time, intensive, property cleanup.

Mind Traps
The last couple of days have been triggers for some very old stuff to come up. Just when we think we are past it, old stories come back up and it can be so discouraging to feel ourselves going backwards. Disappointment at ourselves for having the issue resurface, annoyance that we have to face it again, the pain of the issue itself and then of course- scornful self judgment that we are not bigger than all of this ( haven't I evolved at all??) So after 2 days of being in blue funk mode I realized that I had not gotten into any arguments because of my trigger, that I had performed all the intended tasks for that time period, that I had allowed myself the time to be silent so I could think about how to best express myself without shaming or blaming anyone else, that although I felt sad I was not running away from my feelings and that I recognized and stopped myself from spiraling into 'story' mode. Then I realized that in addition to being in the moment with my feelings, I was also watching myself live them and making choices about which way to go with things. This, I believe is an influence from working with the singing bowls over time. Perspective. I can see that I have grown and that even when old issues resurface, I respond differently and work through them much faster. Getting back into alignment as I go through my paces. Could it be the cellular memory of the Tibetan bowl vibrations that have strengthened my ablility to face challenges? I believe this to be true.

If your looking for impressive and unquestionable grandeur then The Grove is the place for you. It starts from when you turn into the Grounds. The gate way winds it's way up to the main house, but first taking you over an original single lane bridge (which has its own mini traffic light) crossing over a brook which then leads up to The Grove's World renowned Golf Course. With slight trepidation as i drive past a man just about to take a swing I pray that he is a million times better than I, or I will have a very angry fiance who let me drive his new baby up here.
I drove onwards up to the beautiful manor house, now a hotel, health club, spa and convention rooms. They have made very effective use of space with over 200 rooms they have managed not to scrimp on space even in the most basic rooms. Ours looked out onto the house grounds which was Classic English Garden beautiful.
With a bed big enough for three, we wished we had of taken the opportunity of this Dog Friendly Hotel and brought along the Budster. Not only are they dog friendly but they also offer a Dog sitting Service! And after really knowing what having a dog with separation anxiety is like, this service is a god send! Fortunately Buddy's favourite sitter was available so he had a whale of a night being spoiled rotten at home.
I must admit not having the little one around meant we fully"kicked the *** out of the buffet"!(The boys term not mine)
Now usually when I hear 'Buffet' I think carb City Chinese food. The Glasshouse restaurant buffet dinner was no where near that. With chefs at several different stations waiting to cook up your chosen delights, it was heaven! We moved from the sushi station to roasts, dipped into stir frys, sliced off frittatas and even pick'n'mixed our stir fry.
With a minute to spare watching my chosen ingredients being tossed into the air and stirred around I got chatting to the Chef who along with the receptionist, Waitress, Spa Tour guide, Gym trainer and pool life guard, all, had been working for The Grove for a fair few years.
After personally having first hand experience of working in a high end Health Club and only knowing staff long enough to catch their first name due to money obsessed owners and uncomfortable work conditions, its always nice to know that some institutions despite growing and clearly gaining the status they desire, still know how to value their staff enough that they chose not to leave.That it really is a joy to come to work. "The Grove is at the top of it's game why would I want to leave". Something within that personally enabled me to relax that little iota more. So extra brownie point scored for The Grove.
Oh and I must recommend the French Berry Fizz. An Exquisite champagne cocktail. Believe me when I say I spoke to these people before the cocktail.
Now this is all before I even get to tell you about our purpose for the visit. The Award Winning Spa!
We were given a tour of the health club and Spa which was incredibly clean and calming. With a juice bar in the main entrance and then two private relaxation rooms for spa clients where fresh leaf tea's, coffee fruit and nuts are complimentary The gym facilities are more than adequate. Fully equipped with the latest Technogym Visioweb equipment, Kinesis, ARKE and MyWellness Key System software for interactive exercise management. With resistance machines, free weights, cardio machines, stretching areas, bosu balls, bands, boxes, yoga blocks. I must admit I probably didn't take it all in. I did my tabata sprints, a full body weights workout and then was rushing to get to try out the pool with black mosaic tiles and wooden beams. Next door to the gym you can advantage of complimentary classes in the Exercise Studio, from meditative yoga and Pilates to active circuit and aerobic sessions.
Ok you got me, it was really the sauna, steam and jacuzzi. All clean and up kept to a high standard.
Finally! I had one of the signature treatments.
The Orangery Experience
1hr 50 mins
Luxurious and utterly spoiling with the refreshing benefits of orange. This exquisite top to toe Natura Bissé ritual is designed to deeply nourish and firm the skin. Commencing with a fortifying foot bath, the body is exfoliated and then wrapped with an anti-oxidant mousse before being massaged with a warm bitter orange balm. The therapist then performs a facial which includes a face peel with citrus spheres, an anti-ageing contouring massage and bitter orange soufflé mask.
I must admit, that does pretty much describe it down to a t. The only thing it doesn't is tell you that you have 2 showers within that time. Now for a novice like myself I wasn't aware of this and when she explained the session to me I began to mentally complain. "I thought I was going to be lying there for almost 2hrs and getting to relax, well thats not relaxing showering twice!" I should learn to wait and see. I managed to fall asleep every chance I got. I had that embarrassing moment where I must have twitched myself awake during the massage and then again during the facial.
My therapist was lovely. Very attentive and aware of protecting my modesty. I find that very cute and professional but also amusing when I've decided to go to someone and pay for them to scrub down my whole body and massage me from head to toe and make it difficult for them by being protective of my parts. I guess in one sense it makes her day nicer not having to see lots of his and hers but it does still tickle my brain somewhat. She had to do the obligatory sales pitch of products at the end which I find undoes some of the relaxation she just worked so hard to produce but I know it's not her choice to do so.
My partner got the:
Energy Balancing
1hr 50 mins
An indulgent ESPA body treatment to melt away tension and bring your body and mind back into harmonious balance. After skin brushing and exfoliation, the body is massaged using a personalised blend of aromatherapy oils combined with hot stones to soothe muscular stress. The treatment works on the vital energy points to re-balance the body and finishes with a deeply soothing scalp massage.
I have never seen him so relaxed. Ever!
The weather was unforunate so we didn't get to take full advantage of all of the facilities or even just walk around one acre of the 300 available. Apparently during the summer a Walled Garden is opened with urban beach available ,which being only in Watford(up the road from us)or 18miles from Piccadilly is definitely on the cards. It also contains a 22m outdoor heated pool, vollyball court, tennis courts and a croquet lawn. Also after tasting the standard of their buffet I would be very keen to sample their finer dining restaurants, especially 'Colette's' placed in the heart of the 18th century mansion.
Now I know Golf Fans are screaming that I haven't sung the praises of the Championship course. Personally it wasn't even on my radar(apart from on the drive up) and if when Queen Victoria was there inventing the weekend break and she wasn't fussed on the Golf either then I'm safe.
Ok I'm not that selfish. (Begrudgingly) I have copied the blurb from the site
Golf at The Grove
We're very proud of our championship golf course
The Grove is one of England's finest luxury golf courses; we keep our greens in immaculate championship condition all year round. With no members, anyone can play making us one of the most welcoming.
Our 7,152 yard championship golf course was designed by the distinguished international course designer Kyle Philips, who combines modern game strategies with the great traditions of British golf course architecture.
Obviously something that was also no consideration to myself or my partner but I know useful for those out there with mini them. Child facilities. Children are allowed in the pool at set times. But don't worry the rest of the hours that you want to use the facilities, Anouska's Kids' Club, graded outstanding by OFSTED, making The Grove parent and child-friendly.
My only gripes of the place are minimal. And definitely not a reason not to choose The Grove but could be useful for new spa owners to consider. The hair dryers are placed right outside of the sauna which makes it not the relaxing haven I personally expect. The decor along the corridors of the hotel rooms i don't think works. It attempts to mix quirky with clean country house colours. I don't think it works but there are some quirky pieces of art that amuse and bring out a smile.
The other is that ONE NIGHT IS NOT ENOUGH!!!!!

In 2016 — when 73% of companies indicate that talent acquisition is absolutely critical to executing their businesses' strategies — it is imperative to have robust, effective, and easy-to-use technologies and tactics in place. It's not just about supporting HR and hiring managers, though. Successful talent acquisition today puts candidates front and center. Our recent report explores these talent acquisition trends in 2016, and how to respond to those trends in order to effectively source, recruit, hire, and onboard candidates.
Talent acquisition has matured over the past few years. The process has been traditional, predictable, and administrative by nature, and entirely owned by HR. As recently as 2014, per Aberdeen Group's Talent Acquisition 2014: Reverse the Regressive Curse (June 2014), 60% of companies recruited reactively; i.e., they only sought new talent when there were open job requisitions, instead of actively recruiting and building a candidate pipeline.
Presently, more companies plan ahead and don't wait for candidates to come to them. Case in point, per Aberdeen's research Best Practice: Use Modern Recruiting to Stay Cutting Edge (January 2016), Best-in-Class companies are 55% more likely than All Others (68% vs. 44%) to proactively build and expand the candidate pipeline, regardless of current hiring needs. This tactic, though, represents only one of many ways talent acquisition is transforming into a strategic, candidate-oriented function that extends beyond HR.
Nowadays, smart departments work cohesively with a variety of internal and external parties to grow their organizations, from the traditional roles of recruiters and hiring managers, to individual contributors, marketing, IT, executives, and customers, as well as active and passive candidates. Notably, Best-in-Class companies are 45% more likely than All Others (61% vs. 42%) to involve various business stakeholders in talent acquisition strategy-setting and execution.
Survey respondents identified the following top priorities for improving the candidate experience:
Successful talent acquisition today means using a variety of technologies and strategies, including: social media for sourcing, employer branding, talent communities, mobile access, video interviewing, pre-boarding, and more. While not every technology is a necessity to successful sourcing, recruiting, hiring, and onboarding, Best-in-Class organizations are more inclined to use an assortment of tools that are accessible to them to best find, interact, engage with, and hire top candidates.

Cobnuts: tips for harvesting and fruiting
Gather ripening cob nuts when the husks begin to yellow, usually around late September.
Dry the crop, ideally in the sun, away from squirrels and mice. Alternatively, keep the nuts in a dry, airy room or shed, in shallow layers.
Turn the nuts regularly to ensure they dry thoroughly. Once dry, remove the husks and store in slatted boxes or net bags hung in a cool, airy room or shed. Protect the stored nuts from mice.
If squirrels are a problem, harvest nuts before fully ripe, although they will not develop such a good flavour and may not store as well.
Ensure a heavier crop next year on established bushes by a pruning method known as "brutting". This encourages the production of female flowers.
Partly break the long vigorous current season's shoots, halfway along their length, and let them hang. In all, they will be about 12in long. In winter these shoots can be pruned out completely.
This opens up the bush. The partly broken branches continue to give the plant vigour, but the energy is diverted into production of female flowers on the weaker shoots.
