Emerging Top-Grossing Apps: Zynga, Big Fish Games and The Magic of Reality
The week the top grossing charts saw a little movement at the top, with Zynga Poker reclaiming the #1 spot on the iPhone, and new games from Disney Interactive and EA Mobile making solid debuts. On the iPad, the biggest new debut was Big Fish Game's latest point-and-click style adventure Stray Souls, but other than that, reading ruled, with textbooks, newspapers and the new book by Richard Dawkins all performing well.
New Titles Within the Top Grossing iPhone Apps List
(Update) Zynga Poker – After spending the last few weeks circling the top spot, the #1 grossing app this week is Zynga Poker, a spot its held before. The game is connected to the immensely popular Facebook version (on September 12th, @ZyngaPoker announced it had accumulated over 50,000,000 fans), allowing players can choose connect via their Facebook accounts and play with their friends, or just go straight from the lobby to tournaments and tables. The game itself is free and monetized through the purchase of in-game chips. Zynga updated the app on September 20th to allow players to purchase chips without leaving the table.
Where's My Water – Disney Interactive's brand new water-based puzzle game Where's My Water is the #4 top grossing app after a strong debut that saw it claim the #1 spot on the paid charts yesterday. The game tasks players to assist sewer alligator Swampy, who needs jets of water moved through a sewer stuffed with obstacles like mud, traps, blocks and algae so he can take a bath. The game comes with 80 levels of puzzles and also has hidden bonus levels for players to find. Where's My Water was released on September 22nd and costs $0.99.
(Update) Hipstamatic – The ultra-retro styled camera app has climbed up the top grossing charts again thanks to a September 22nd update that added a new HipstaPak (aka, a new lens, film and case), currently holding the #6 spot. Developed by small San Francisco based studio Synthetic Corp, Hipstamatic costs $1.99 and allows users to take photos with their iPhones that ape the look of the cheaply made plastic toy cameras of the 70s and 80s. Users can also share their photos via Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and Tumblr, enter into monthly photo contests, and even order real prints of their digital masterpieces. Extra camera accessories can be purchased for $0.99 each.
The Sims Medieval – After appearing on yesterday's top paid chart, it's no surprise to see EA Mobile's latest hit The Sims Medieval appear on the top grossing chart as well. The #21 ranked app, The Sims Medieval allows players to embark on quests, master magic spells, join parties as they adventure across the realm or just role-play as a lord of a medieval manor. The game costs $4.99 and was released on September 22nd.
(Update) CityVille Hometown – One of four Zynga titles within the top 50 this week, CityVille Hometown is the #22 app, holding steadily on the charts despite being a stand-alone game. While not connected to Facebook, players can find and visit the towns of their Facebook friends, and after a September 10th update, players can also make friends through the Community Neighbors system which doesn't require Facebook. CityVille Hometown is free, and monetizes through the purchases of virtual currency, which can be exchanged for in-game money and premium items.
New Titles Within the Top Grossing iPad Apps List
Stray Souls: Dollhouse Story – Collector's Edition HD – The #8 app on the iPad top grossing charts is the latest game from Big Fish Games, Stray Souls: Dollhouse Story. In the game, players must solve puzzles, play mini-games and find clues to help a wife find her missing husband and uncover a terrible secret connected to the town's orphanage. The game is free, but the full version of the game must be unlocked through a $6.99 in-app purchase. The Collector's Edition (including a bonus prequel chapter) can be purchased for $9.99 outright or $2.99 if the player has already unlocked the game.
New York Post – The popular daily newspaper The New York Post appears in the charts this week, claiming the #16 spot. The $1.99 app (which comes with a free 1 month subscription) gives iPad readers access to the most popular sections of the paper – News, Page Six, Opinion, Business and Sports. Users can share stories through Facebook, Twitter and email, save issues and see extra photos not included in the print edition. After the initial free trial, users can choose to subscribe for a month ($6.99), six months ($39.99) or one year ($79.99).
The Magic of Reality – The #23 app is the electronic adaptation of The Magic of Reality, the not-yet-released book from noted scientist and atheist Richard Dawkins. While the hardcover edition will be released on October 4th in the US and Canada, eager readers can download the interactive iPad version now for $13.99. Featuring illustrations from artist Dave McKean, extra video and audio from the author, animations and interactive elements, the book was designed for young adults and explains basic mysteries of the universe such as how the sun was formed, how DNA and genes work and why gravity does what it does. The app was developed for publisher Random House by UK creative and advertising agency Somthin' Else.
Textbooks – Kno's Textbooks app is proving to be profitable, sitting at #29 on the top grossing chart. Launched in June, the free app allows students to download digital copies over their textbooks at a discount of 30 to 50% from the listed price. The app offers a library of 100,000 books and purchasers can still do things like highlight passages and add notes, and Textbooks also includes a quiz function and lets students add photos and videos to their notes. Kno was founded in 2009 and is based in Santa Clara California.
(Update) Drawn: The Painted Tower HD (Full) – The second Big Fish Games title in the top 50 of the iPad charts is older game Drawn: The Painted Tower. Originally released in January (read our review here), the adventure game is currently the #44 app, thanks to a 30% off sale that's dropped the price to $3.99. As with other Big Fish Games titles, Drawn: The Painted tower is an adventure game where players must navigate the game by solving puzzles and finding clues. While Big Fish Games has seen great success in this genre, the company has also branched out, releasing the arcade style time management game Hospital Haste in June.

[Michelle Phan – 5 Ways To Wear 1 Scarf]
[Michelle Phan] Source: LYBIO.net
Hey, everyone. So this is the continuation of the scarf tying tutorial, since you guys requested for it.
So what I'm doing here is I'm taking the scarf again, this is a rectangle scarf, and I'm folding it in half, and I'm tying it at the end like that. Then taking the other part, I'm going to tie it together like so. So basically, you're splitting it in half and you're creating a new vest. And this is great to wear during the fall.
And well, then again, if you're living in a really cold area then maybe you shouldn't wear this. but in LA, we can wear something like this. And it's really cute and if you really want to cinch in your waist, I recommend using a belt, and wrapping it around your waist like this and looping it around and tucking it in and there you have it. This awesome BESTY VESTY is what I call it, super cute for school, for college, even for work, something a little casual and fun.
So the next look, I think it's a skirt, yes, it is. So take the scarf and wrap it around as if you're drying yourself, and then tie it and pull it towards your body and bring it down to your waist and then tie it again to make sure it's really nice and secure. And here you have it, THE BUM SKIRT. this is a great skirt look, if you're at the beach, a resort or if your just in a really nice hot climate.
[Michelle Phan] Source: LYBIO.net
And if you want something a little dressier, this is really cute. So take your scarf again and wrap it around and tie it and pull it towards your chest and then take the two ends and tie it diagonally. And what you're going to have is a real cute off-shoulder strap dress. And if you want to go really fancy, take apart the one strap and then pull it apart and you're going to have a really cute sleeve. And I call this look THE COLD SHOULDER, look, who cares; I don't know it's one shoulder, it's really fine and cute.
All right. so for this one, it's just a regular scarf, you just wrap it around and just make two knots on both ends and that's pretty much it. This is a really cute little look, and I call it THE POM POM, because it's – you know, it's peppy.
So for this scarf look, wrap it around your neck again, and just tie the ends together and create a knot at the end. And I call this THE PENDULUM scarf, because it kind of looks like a pendulum.
For this look, take the scarf again, wrap it around and knot it, and then afterwards, start creating a bridge, just create more knots and create another knot, and you're basically just creating this really cute crisscross knotted looking scarf.
For this one, I'm creating an INFINITY SCARF by twisting it as you guys just saw and tying it together and wrapping around my neck, and there you have an INFINITY SCARF, and you just wear it however you want, easy.
[Michelle Phan] Source: LYBIO.net
And for this one, just again, tie the scarf together like this and make a knot, make two knots basically and wrap it around your neck three times, and what you're going to have are these cute little floppy ears on the side, and I'd like to call it THE BUNNY EARS. So that's pretty much it.
This is a tutorial. Hope you guys enjoyed it. Good luck.
Music of course, is by Marié Digby, "Stupid For You" and our scarfs are by Theodora and Callum, and thanks again to the Mondrian Hotel for an awesome view to film this.
See you guys in the next video. Bye.

When was the last time you went to class without your smartphone? I bet it's been a while, if you can remember doing so at all.
Yes, you may need your phone for safety or even in-class research. But even if it doesn't distract you from the lesson at hand, buzzes and blue light catch ears and eyes. It's not fair of you to let your device get in the way of others' learning.
I'm not going to tell you to leave all your devices at home. You should, however, follow these steps to keep tech from getting in the way of yours and others' education:
- Plan for downtime.
No matter the instructor or class size, there will be periods when you aren't actively learning. Professors get stuck in traffic. Group discussions get done early.
In those moments, what do you do? You pull out your phone. The moment you do that, you sweep class-related ideas out of your working memory. Once class starts or resumes, your brain has to forget about whatever Instagram images or Buzzfeed articles you were looking at, which it probably finds far more engaging than ancient philosophy texts.
Have a plan for downtime. Keep a book of puzzles in your backpack. Not only will they keep you occupied, but they might actually help you stay focused when it counts. Brain teasers are actually gaining recognition as an alternative ADHD treatment because they build working memory.
- Hold yourself accountable.
You're an adult. Nobody is going to take away your phone just because you were using it when you shouldn't have been. Like it or not, it's on you to hold yourself accountable.
Start small: Get an app that discourages you from overusing your phone. Some merely track your usage, while others let you lock yourself out during certain times or past certain usage thresholds. Gamified apps stimulate the reward-seeking part of your brain, which may be to blame for your habit.
What if apps aren't enough? Set up a system of rewards and consequences. Perhaps if you go all week without using your phone in class, you'll buy yourself a pizza for dinner Friday. If you catch yourself with your phone out more than once per class period, though, maybe you owe yourself extra crunches at the rec center.
3. Ask before you access.
What if you have a legitimate reason to haul out your phone in class? You might want to look up a term the professor threw out. If you're expecting an important call, you may need to watch it for the right number.
Whenever possible, get permission from the people sitting next to you. The best time to do this is before class starts. Everyone realizes that emergencies happen; as long as you're courteous about it, they shouldn't mind you sending a text.
If it's an in-class need, exhaust your other resources first. Check your textbook's glossary for the concept or term. If can't find it, quietly ask to look it up online. If appropriate, raise your hand to share the information. Chances are, others are wondering the same thing.
4. Give gentle reminders.
Even if you observe smartphone etiquette, students around you might not. If their device use is distracting you, don't create an even bigger distraction. Shouting or tossing something at them is a surefire way to disrupt the whole class.
What should you do instead? First try a silent cue. If your phone is on your desk, catch the other student's eye while you put it in your pocket or bag. Only if that doesn't work should you nudge or quietly ask him or her to put it away.
The key is to spread "social antibodies." Catch the student who was on his or her phone after class. Don't make a scene, but do make clear that you think it's poor manners to use tech during a lecture.
However exciting a new app or text might be, it can wait until after class. In those rare cases when it can't, give nearby students a heads up. And if someone else's smartphone use is distracting you, say something quietly and respectfully. It's that easy.

Target: Craig Coughlin, Speaker of the New Jersey General Assembly
Goal: Support finalization of bill to ban offshore oil drilling in New Jersey.
New Jersey may soon ban all offshore oil drilling. The New Jersey Senate Environment and Energy Committee has approved a proposed bill to stop any offshore oil drilling along the state's coast. This bill would prohibit all forms of drilling, including the lease of submerged lands for the production of natural gases.
Oil drilling is one of the chief culprits of environmental destruction. It not only contaminates the sea, land, and air, but hundreds of animals are caught in oil spills each year, and many do not survive. People lose their homes due to these spills, or are forced to relocate when the land becomes unstable and the air unbreathable. New Jersey, a coastal state, would benefit greatly from such a law to protect the coast's natural beauty and the lives of the people and animals living there.
The pushback against the current administration's efforts to revive fossil fuels is a never-ending battle, and every victory must be appreciated. A complete ban on offshore drilling in New Jersey would be a tremendous victory. Sign this petition to support the finalization of this bill.
Dear Assemblyman Coughlin,
A proposed bill to ban offshore oil drilling along New Jersey's coast is one step closer to becoming an official law. This would mean the end of dangerous oil rigs or leasing of submerged lands for the production of natural gases, thus keeping the waters safe for the aquatic wildlife.
Oil drilling has been a problem for decades, with fumes contaminating the water and air while the spills have harmed and killed hundreds of animals and cost people their homes. The country has been fighting an endless battle against the revival of fossil fuels since President Trump's inauguration, and every ban counts towards victory. Approve this new law to ensure the safety and preservation of New Jersey's coastline.

The project is collaborating with a number of local and national sponsors including Billabong, ZJ Boardinghouse, Quiksilver, Rocker Board Shop, Kreation KafÈ, Charlie Palmer Restaurants and Natural Surf Technique.

What We Do
Your Care, Your Way, the Safe Way
What We Do?
Every day, we provide around the clock care to a 71-year-old lady that except for some short-term memory loss is well. We live with her, take her to church, doctors' appointments, the grocery store, hairdresser appointments every week, and the country club if she want.
Twice a day, we go into the home of a partially paralyzed ex-marine officer and prepare meals, help him with range of motion exercises, help with medication reminders, cleaning up, appointment reminders, grocery shopping, and three times a week we provide transportation to the adult day care where he hangs out for a few hours playing cards and board games with friends, and then we take him home.
In the winter months our caregivers fly to the west coast to care for a retired doctor, providing all the care his family would provide. We assist him with bathing, grooming, brushing his teeth, shaving, getting dressed, cleaning up, newspaper pick up, grocery shopping, preparing meals, laundry, medication reminders, washing his car once a week, playing golf, and attending different community meetings.
Every night, we assist a family in need of help with their 89 year old mother with dementia by making sure she is safe due to her frequently getting up in the middle of the night wandering, which makes it difficult for her daughter and son-in-law to get a good nights rest in preparation for work.
Once a week for 2 hours, a retired engineer that just lost his wife wants a caregiver to just sit in the backyard with him near the garden his wife created and maintained since they purchased the home 39 years ago. From time to time, we sit with him at the bingo hall, where he and his wife went weekly.
Why Assisted Living At Home?
This service has gained the most popularity of all the options available, due to older adults wanting to remain in their homes.
Care is delivered and available 24/7. It is a great alternative for the older adult needing around the clock personal care, companionship, supervision, or respite care while remaining in their home. Care recipients generally use our care program one to two months following post hospital or rehab services.
Not only do we support and encourage independence, but we promote enhancement of quality of life and wellness through improved sleep, nutrition, socialization, activities of daily living, and companionship.
Our Registered Nurses design individualized care plans unique to our care recipients, to include their families, and service is provided by our certified home health aides, certified care assistants, and personal care aides. The level of care influences the design of the program and services provided.
It would be an honor to care for you and your family! Please gives us a call today at (833)LikeFamilyCaregiving, fill out the request consultation form/contact us form, message us through live chat, visit our social media sites, or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I have since Christmas of this year been experiencing very dry itchy skin. It started around my fingers and I wrote it off to cold winter weather and dry skin.I now have it pretty much everywhere especially my legs, arms and hands. It is driving me mad. I have seen several doctors and they put me on Prednezone which sort of helped, but now that I am off of it it is worse. I am not able to get into a specialist for almost a month and the condition is getting worse everyday and has also made me short of breath and weak. I'd really like to know what could possibly be going on. I am scratching so hard I am bruising and my arms and neck are very red and blotchy.

Yankton Rexall History
Yankton Rexall's history begins in 1923 when pharmacists George Paulsen and Leon Farrell opened their pharmacy at 111 West
Third Street (presently Fish & Stuff) to serve the healthcare needs of the growing Yankton community. Although the store has moved,
remodeled a number of times, and later incorporated, it has always been owned by pharmacists and supported by a dedicated staff
of employees. The store has been located in historic downtown Yankton since its inception.
In 1927 the business was sold to Henry and Leo Heitgen and named Heitgen Pharmacy. Henry was the pharmacist and Leo was the
business manager and bookkeeper. The Heitgens owned the business until they sold to two pharmacist partners, Charles Clancey
and Harold Tisher, on April 1, 1945. These partners incorporated and renamed the business Yankton Drug Company, Inc. doing
business as Yankton Rexall Drug. They also started the Yankton Clinic pharmacy under this corporation. This partnership continued
until Ken Jones purchased Clancey's interest in the business in July of 1958.

The Right Mobile Web Design For Your Business
Don't be fooled: A mobile website serves an entirely different purpose than a desktop-enabled website, and it's rare that one can replace the other, regardless of whether you are a Business-to-Business or Business-to-Consumer company.
In a nutshell: A mobile site is meant to be transactional. People search for the site because they are looking for coupons for your products or services, want to order online, or are looking for your phone number or directions to your location.
They're standing in line somewhere, or have pulled to the side of the road to use their smart phone. They want a quick and simple answer – not pages of text they have to try to make bigger or wade through to find what they are seeking.
That said, some desktop sites can be set to scale to whatever screen size the viewer is using. This is called Responsive Design. In some instances, it works just fine. In others, not at all, and it depends, in some part, on the industry you are in and the results you wish to achieve from your desktop and mobile sites.
As mobile website technology advances, sites have become increasingly minimalist, sleek, and tightly focused in design and content. This means creating effective mobile sites takes strong knowledge and application of the coding behind the cool design, coupled with detailed knowledge of the psychological factors that drive mobile search. Wrapping that all up with take-action content is the art of effective mobile website design.
Whether you're just thinking about going mobile, or know the time is NOW, we're ready to show you how easy and profitable it can be.

Ornament: 4" Diameter 1/8" Thick PVC
Andrew Jackson, seventh president of the United States, and his wife Rachel moved into The Hermitage in 1818. Located on then vast land holdings east of Nashville, the home is still recognized as one of American's most famous residences.
The Hermitage is basically an example of Early Victorian architecture but does incorporate certain aspects of Greek Revival and Colonial/Georgian features. The structure was built of red bricks, which were painted white after a fire blackened the columned front porch area. The wings were added in 1831.
Extensive restoration work on the historic home was completed in 2010. The visitor center was added in early 1989. The Ladies Hermitage Association oversees and maintains the operation of the mansion and grounds as a favorite Tennessee attraction.
Above the mansion is depicted a likeness of identical sculptures of Andrew Jackson that are public art attractions in Nashville, New Orleans and Washington DC.

A web of six offices across East Anglia and the East Midlands hosts trainees at this regional firm.
Not London Calling
London is often seen as the epicentre of our legal landscape. Yet for trainees at Howes Percival, London came calling and they chose not to pick up. "I didn't want to work in London," one told us, "but I wanted high-quality work and clients, and we have a strong regional presence." Another source declared: "There's a great diversity of seats here, and a great culture – it's a fun environment if you want to work outside London." For over 200 years, Howes Percival has wound a wide regional web across the East Midlands and East Anglia. At the time of our calls there were four trainees in Northampton, three in Norwich, two each in Cambridge and Leicester and one in Milton Keynes. (The Manchester office is "tiny" with no trainees). Chambers UK hands out high rankings to the firm's corporate, litigation, planning, real estate, agriculture and restructuring practices in East Anglia; in the East Midlands – a more competitive market – the firm is recognised for corporate work for SMEs.
"We have a strong regional presence."
Historically Howes Percival has been operationally split between the East Midlands and East Anglia – though now the division is reportedly less clear-cut. Trainees are expected to move and relocate between offices for various seats: while it's unlikely an East Midlands trainee will have to up sticks and head to East Anglia and vice versa, trainees enter knowing they'll be required to move within their region. Naturally, this connected disconnection somewhat splits the firm. For some trainees "the benefits of moving within your region are clear as you meet more people in the firm and gain an in-depth understanding of firm culture." For others, long commutes, confusion about accommodation, and generally not being "a person who can just pick up and move," caused slight consternation. "You have to be prepared," warned one source.
All this being said, the fluid nature of the firm and rotations was mostly celebrated. "We've got a brand that follows through," one source said. "Us newbies operate across regions without a focus on one office and that helps define a shared culture." Nuances between offices do come to the fore. For example, size matters. In compact Milton Keynes and Cambridge "you know everyone," whereas in Norwich the office "is split over three floors," making connections less easy. Similarly, size determines scope: while you can find a commercial property seat in all offices, other seats – IP in Milton Keynes or estates in Norwich – are office-specific. See our website for a full breakdown of seats by location. Regardless of location, "a property seat is almost guaranteed." In Norwich, there are several property sub-teams, while "Leicester has expanded its planning team." Cambridge is the newest office (opened in 2015) and is "smaller but growing very rapidly – you get more of a buzz because of the intimacy." Across offices, while there are "a few big clients," sources said: "Clients tend to be based locally."
"The level of involvement has been nuts!"
A seat in commercial property – the department which reportedly "brings in most revenue to the firm" – has trainees "busy from day one," for example drafting lease reports or contracts for land acquisitions and disposals. "The level of involvement has been nuts!" one trainee beamed. "I did a completion on my own in the first week, and the support available meant that I really felt able to do it." Another interviewee found that "there are standard trainee tasks to do, such as Land Registry applications, but I also got to do big things like completion of golden brick agreements" – these are special VAT arrangements used by housing associations.Besidesdealing with housing associations, local SMEs and owner-managed businesses, the team works on some larger matters. For example, Northampton lawyers recently advised a major Swedish bank on the £30 million refinancing of an extensive residential and commercial property portfolio. They also acted for HSBC on acquisition financing for the purchase of four chemists from Lloyds Pharmacies. Meanwhile in East Anglia clients include Greene King, Cambridge University Endowment Fund, Braintree District Council, Persimmon Homes and Ford Retail – so you can see that while some clients may be local they are pretty high-profile. The property litigation team represents several of the same clients, while also acting for the Ministry of Defence, the Co-op and Norwich Cathedral.
In corporate/commercial (known as 'coco'), trainees hit the ground running. "I was given my first deal on day one, even though I didn't know how to use the phone!" But rest assured, no one's hung out to dry: "On a business purchase for a small buyer, I was given support with handholding where I needed it, but I did the completion meeting on my own." And while there's less client contact here than in other seats, trainees still see things "from start to finish on smaller matters." The team does work on some bigger matters too: for example, a cross-office team lead by partners in Norwich and Milton Keynes advised Suffolk's Aspall Cyder on its sale to US brewing giant Molson Coors. These bigger deals for bigger clients tend to mean more standard tasks for trainees. On one cross-jurisdictional multimillion-pound "bespoke deal," a trainee was "helping draft, but also having to take notes and produce the bibles, which was horrible!" The Northampton office has continued its local relationship with the British Racing Drivers' Club at Silverstone, meaning trainees get to work with "big businesses doing their AGMs there." Other clients the firm does commercial contracts work for include the Guards Polo Club and Welcome Break.
Estates (currently offered only in Norwich) is "split between tax and private client on the one hand, and estates and landlord work on the other." Agricultural clients include the Cholmondeley and Holkham estates in Norfolk, plus Sir Guy Quilter and his wife Jenny, who Howes Percival advised on the £30 million sale of their 2,000-acre Sutton Hall estate in Suffolk. Client exposure and responsibilities are reportedly healthy, with one source "being given a drafting task that I could go away and do then return to my supervisor."
Meanwhile in insolvency and corporaterecovery, there's "quite a bit of court exposure," but less client contact. Those clients are chiefly administrators and liquidators and include Grant Thornton, BDO and Mazars, plus the government's Insolvency Service. For one trainee, bundles were the buzzword: "One exhibit was 4,000 pages long, and it was key that its accuracy married up with the witness statements."
HP Sauce
As we mentioned above "there's a different culture in different offices due to the staffing levels," but sources told us: "Everyone meshes really well and you're never segregated as a trainee." The once-clear divide between the regional blocs is reportedly a thing of the past. "The collaboration between different departments is fantastic, and the integration between offices is getting better," one trainee reported. With the help of conference calling and other tech advances, the whole network is at trainees' fingertips helping to "unify the firm." The fact that all offices are open-plan helps foster connections too. Similarly, HPVoice (a new scheme designed to allow everyone's suggestions to be platformed) means "your ideas can be heard without having to make a big step." In addition the spread of trainees, lawyers and staff across offices creates an "equality" which means no office is seen as a satellite.
"It's quite surprising how casually partners can be spoken to."
This equality extends to trainee relationships with more senior people. "It's quite surprising how casually partners can be spoken to," one interviewee reported. The culture is epitomised by 'Fun Fridays' when partners put money behind the bar at a local pub – "it's a great way to socialise with everyone," said one source. One observation trainees made is that (except in Norwich and Cambridge) the locations of the offices "outside cities and towns" precludes spontaneous drinks after work – "they have to be a more organised affair." But fear not: charity bake sales, Come Dine With Me events, JLD activities and a firm-wide Christmas party keep trainees busy and connected.We also heard that a new training principal is working to make the qualification process more "transparent" and in 2019 five of seven qualifiers were retained.
Hours are pretty uniform here with a day usually running from 8.30am to 6.30pm and one trainee saying a late finish would be "anything past seven."
How to get a Howes Percival training contract
Vacation scheme deadline (2020): 31 March 2020 (opens October 2019)
Training contract deadline (2022): 30 June 2020 (opens 1 October 2019)
Application form
The firm receives around 200 to 300 initial applications. The application form covers standard CV and experience questions, like 'why do you want to be a lawyer?' and 'why do you want to work for Howes Percival?', as well as a few "designed to draw out a bit of your personality" like 'what's your best non-sporting achievement?' There's no specific question about local links, though we reckon mentioning things which tie you to the regions where the firm operates will do you no harm.
Assessment day and interview
Before attending the assessment centre, applicants are asked to complete an online numerical reasoning test. The half-day assessment centre itself consists of three parts: a 45-minute written commercial test, a presentation and a one-hour interview. The written test is based on a commercial scenario in which you're asked to write a piece of advice to a client.
The presentation is on a topic you'll be given on the day and tends to be fairly light-hearted – again, it is supposed to draw out something of your personality. In the past, applicants have been asked which book, film and CD they'd take with them to a desert island and (in another year) what three people, dead or alive, they'd invite to their ideal dinner party. (If you are asked that latter question, be honest, don't just name three famous lawyers unless you have a really good reason to.)
The interview is with two senior lawyers and is a more serious affair, though don't be afraid to showcase your personality. Expect to be asked about a typical array of competencies – strengths and weaknesses, analysis and decision making, teamwork, initiative – as well as commercial awareness questions: for instance, 'what makes a law firm successful?' There are some scenario-based questions too, but also some more easygoing ones like 'what makes you laugh?' (Don't say: lawyer jokes.)
Vacation scheme
HP's vac scheme lasts just a week and consists of students spending a single day in five different departments. They shadow a trainee or other junior lawyers and mix attending court and meetings with some real work and a number of set tasks. On the last afternoon, there is an assessed group exercise and some (though not all) participants will be invited back for a final training contract interview.
The firm runs schemes in two different weeks in the summer, in Leicester, Northampton and Norwich, with four to six places on each.
Trainee profile
Among the trainees there were graduates from institutions in the regions where the firm works – Leicester and UEA – as well as individuals from places further afield like Sheffield, Birmingham and Queen Mary, London.
Links to the local region are a common denominator among trainees. Nearly all our interviewees had either grown up in the East Midlands or East Anglia or been to uni there. Many continue to cultivate these local connections during their training through involvement with local charity fund-raising and business development.

David McClay, SAMS® AMS®
Principal Marine Surveyor
ABYC Master Technician
Cell: 631-764-7842, Home/Office: 631-757-9415
I am sometimes asked to name the most common faults found in the course of a survey. Since I don't keep statistics on this, the following list is based on general impressions formed over the last two decades while performing 150 to 200 surveys a year. While it would be unusual, but not unprecedented, for an individual boat to have every fault listed here, it would also be very rare for an individual boat to have none of these faults. Also, it must be emphasized that this list is not exhaustive.
Anyone purchasing a boat, especially a used boat, and especially first time boat owners, should realize that there is almost always a list of things to be fixed. Even if every item on a surveyor's list of recommendations is carried out, a new list can be made after the next season. The list never really ends. My list omits any purely cosmetic issues like gelcoat scratches, dirty bilges and storage areas, water stains, or peeling finishes. It is limited to what I consider more serious findings.
So here goes.
10. Worn cutlass bearing (strut bearing). My rule of thumb is: If I can move the shaft enough for it to make a noise, then it is time to replace the bearing.
9. Old worn cracked hoses. Exhaust hoses seem to be especially prone to cracking at the top of the high loop that prevents backwash. Some hoses can be hard to access and are consequently neglected.
8. Incorrect wiring. Wire nuts, corroded terminals, unsupported lengths, wires exposed to water - all unacceptable. Owner-installed equipment is a common source of these problems.
7. Fresh water leaks. Typically at the windows and portholes or at through-deck fastenings, e.g. stanchion bases or hawse pipes. Leaks at opening ports are often due to dirt on the sealing surfaces.
6. No breaker at the shore power inlet. There should be a breaker of correct amperage, typically 30 or 50 amps, within 10' of the inlet.
5. Seacocks that don't operate. These are often in difficult to access areas and consequently never get exercised. Corrosion causes them to seize up. Very important safety item that is useless if it can't be operated.
4. Navigation lights not working. These are required by law. The stern light and, on sailboats, the steaming light are the ones most often out of order. The fault is usually corrosion at the bulb ends or bulb holders and is easily corrected with emery paper.
3. Missing or outdated safety equipment. Up-to-date flares, sound signaling devices, PFDs for each person on board, throwable flotation - all required by law. The flares expire in three years and are often years out of date.
2. Moisture and delamination in rudders. Sailboats only. At least half of the rudders older than a few years have some moisture. It becomes a real problem when so much water gets in that it causes delamination of the rudder skin when it freezes.
1. Moisture and delamination in the deck. The decks are almost always cored, often with end-grain balsa, which gets soft over time if water is allowed to penetrate it. Many things are fastened to the deck - cleats, stanchions, Genoa track, etc., and they are often under load. The original bedding compound will dry out over time, allowing water in.

Beautiful designs, innovative techniques and exquisite craftsmanship made Gismondi and Pure DNA the ideal partnership to raise the profile of this 250 year old italian brand.
The Gismondi family has been a long-standing pioneer of the illustrious jewellery trade in the province of Genoa for centuries, going back seven generations.
For the last few months Pure DNA have been working on a comprehensive brand refresh and expansion to produce a new and exciting identity for Gismondi. An identity which stands by the following values, that were identified through brand strategy research as key principles for the brand:
• Be creative. In everything
• Remain boutique and personal
• Create emotion
Working through a number of differerent iterations of logotypes and secondary brand language, the final form is a contemporary marque enriched by classical typography which is accompanied by a reinterpretation of the family crest, close to the Gismondi heart. '1754' straddles the crest form as a reference to the date of birth – to amplify immense heritage.
A vast array of digital and printed collateral have been considered throughout the design process, to create a powerful and consistent suite of materials, representative of a luxury lifestyle brand. For corporate stationery applications, we have used thermographic printing techniques on business cards. For packaging we used layering to add richness, with use of individual wax seals, textured printed inlay papers and accent colours as highlights to be seen on the inside of boxes only. This allowed the outside to remain pure and sophisticated.
All of these deliverables, as can be seen within the brand guidelines document, enrich the client/customers experience of the brand. And it's this elegance and sophistication of implementation that allows Gismondi to sit aloft it's peers.

Here's another easy car care habit that, if followed along with many others, can keep your car running for (darn-near) FOREVER:
Allow 30-Seconds to Thrive Before You Drive.
When your car has been sitting for more than a few hours, the engine oil is resting on the bottom. Too many of us start our vehicles and immediately take off without allowing time for proper oil circulation, increasing wear and tear on the engine. Unless a herd of zombies is on your tail, allowing at least 30 seconds of warm up time (a minute if the car has sat more than 24 hours) will pay off!
* Yeah, like many others, this tip is common sense. And here again we ask you this question: Are you doing it?
Get More Car Tips!
* Price dependent on oil type and viscosity, includes up to five quarts of multi-grade motor oil. Offer covers most vehicles, but some exceptions may apply. Valid email address required, and is not valid with other offers nor is it transferable. This offer does not apply for full synthetic oils or any car newer than 2014. One coupon redemption per customer. Please mention this offer at time of placing or confirming appointment.


text: Cape Town - "The weaker trend in domestic new vehicle sales in recent months had continued during February with all market segments, including exports, registering year on year declines," reports Naamsa.The organisation reports 46 347 units sold in February, a decline of 1854 vehicles or -3.8% from the 48 201 vehicles sold in February 2017. February 2018 export sales, at 27 437 vehicles, registered a fall of 1 681 units or a decline of 5.8% compared to the 29 154 vehicles exported in February 2017. Naamsa said: "Exports for the first two months of the year remained 2% above the corresponding two months in 2017."The marketOverall, out of the total reported Industry sales of 46 347 vehicles, an estimated 38 920 units or 84% represented dealer sales, an estimated 9.7% represented sales to the rental Industry, 3.7% to industry corporate fleets and 2.6% to government. New car marketThe February 2018 new car market held up relatively better than the commercial vehicle segments; At 31 200 units, the passenger car market registered a marginal fall of 123 cars or -0.4% compared to the 31 323 new cars sold in February 2017.Naamsa said: "Due to seasonal factors, the car rental industry contribution had declined but still accounted for about 13.9% of new car sales in February 2018." Domestic sales of new light commercial vehicles (bakkies and mini buses) reflected a continued drop. At 13 212 units LCVs registered a fall of 1410 vehicles or a decline of 9.6% compared to the 14 622 units sold during the corresponding month last year. Why the decline?Naamsa said: "The lower commercial vehicle sales figures reflected subdued investment sentiment in the economy. Recent improvement in the Reserve Bank's leading indicator and further recent increases in the Purchasing Manager's Index, anticipated an improved outlook for the economy over the medium term. "The considerable appreciation in the value of the Rand would also reduce inflationary pressures. Recent positive political developments and improved business confidence should also serve to support higher economic growth in 2018 and provided South Africa was able to avoid a further credit ratings downgrade at the end of the first quarter of 2018, actual economic growth could well surpass current expectations."In such an environment, economic growth could well recover to a level above 1.5% in 2018. Replacement demand and reduced vehicle price inflation, as a result of the stronger Rand, should support new vehicle sales in the months ahead. Budget speechThe 2018 February budget had, Naamsa said, reiterated government's commitment to fiscal consolidation, limiting government expenditure and ensuring that State Owned Enterprises would be subjected to strict governance and operational standards. Naamsa said: "However, the increase in Value Added Tax, vehicle emissions taxes, the substantially higher-advalorem duty for premium luxury vehicles with retail selling prices in excess of R900 000 as well as the substantial increase in the fuel levy would impact on consumers' disposable income and could impact new vehicle sales from April 2018 onwards. "Hopefully, this would be outweighed by a higher economic growth rate. New vehicle exports in 2018 should reflect fairly strong upward momentum on the back of improved growth in the global economy. An increase of around 10% in vehicle export sales volumes was possible in 2018."

Pittsburgh Business Times Profiles Seegrid CEO Anthony Horbal
Pittsburgh Business Times Profiles Seegrid CEO Anthony Horbal
By: TR Cutler
According to Pittsburgh Business Times reporter Malia Spencer, Anthony Horbal, the new CEO of Seegrid Corp. has one goal — go global. Spencer reported, the Coraopolis-based robotics firm has been quietly growing since it moved from starter space in Lawrenceville to RIDC Park West in late 2009. The company occupies 41,000 square feet for more than 70 employees, and its head count is growing, said Horbal, previously the company's president. "We are ready to go global," he said. "I have been tasked with the responsibility of that success."
Since last year, the company has been building out its executive team. Previous CEO and company co-founder Scott Friedman is taking the role of president and, earlier this month, Michael Hasco was named chief growth officer. In April 2011, the company named David Heilman chief administrative officer and Matthew Kramer chief revenue officer.
Now, Horbal thinks the team is in place for rapid growth. "(We're)
take costs out of the product. We are doing demos everywhere."
Prior to Seegrid, Horbal founded Three Rivers Health Plans Inc., a Pennsylvania Medicaid health plan, which was sold to UnitedHealthcare in 2008. He said his experience rapidly growing that company and his knowledge of business development, team building and motivating a staff have prepared him for this new role.

text: Sheet metal fabrication pertains to the various techniques of bending and shaping sheet metals. There are many kinds of equipment which are utilized for this purpose. Depending upon the nature of the task Authentic Eddie Jackson Jersey , you might have to utilize a broad range of devices that might vary from simple handmade tools to extremely sophisticated, large, automatic machinery. The initial step is to make an engineering drawing. The raw material may proceed through a number of processes. The preliminary procedures include sheet metal functions like slitting, perforating, cutting Authentic Tarik Cohen Jersey , etc. Perforating is the process of making perforations, where perforations are holes made on a material. If the work involves heavier gauge materials, it'll need heavy tools like power-operated bench shears. Machining can also be done with simple cutting tools like hand scissors. There are several kinds of power-driven shearing machines available, but the fundamental functionality remains the same in all of them. They all contain a mobile blade and a flexible blade. Shearing means cutting the materials without formation of chips ,ie almost perfect cutting using a straight blade usually. With regards to giving the raw materials a suitable form Authentic Jordan Howard Jersey , the cutting and burning techniques are utilized. Tools like band saws are utilized for cutting methods, whilst the tools used to get the burning methods might include laser cutting tables and cutting torches. "Punching" refers to the techniques of sheet metal manufacturing where a punching machine is used. With the aid of this machine, a hole is perforated in the metal object for a required specific purpose. The removal of the surplus metal will be known as clipping. It presses along with other comparable types of machines that bend or fold the sheet metals. Other operations involved with this process might include beading, crimping, creating Authentic Mitchell Trubisky Jersey , seaming, bouncing, and others. Such procedures are mainly utilized to stiffen the sheet metals to give them a certain shape, like forming tubular sections to get circular shapes. Folding and bending operations, on the other hand Authentic Roquan Smith Jersey , are mainly utilized to form sections and angles. The various kinds of tools used for shaping procedures include hydraulic brake press, rolling machines, wheeling machines, and pipe bending machines. The roll-forming machine, for instance Authentic Khalil Mack Jersey , is helpful in making cylindrical or circular shapes, like tubes. Press-forming operations can also include embossing and cupping. A metal fabricator often has limited machining abilities, but nonetheless mills, metal lathes, and magnetic exercises can offer effective outcomes. Tweet Varicose Veins are a very invasive problem that millions of people suffer with daily. It is not typically a male or female problem as some might think. It is prevalent in both sexes. It is easy to identify the person who suffers with varicose veins. Varicose veins are those gnarled Authentic James Daniels Jersey , thick, and very unattractive veins usually found in the legs. Actually, varicose veins can form just about anywhere in the body but the majority of sufferers experience the problem in their legs. And it is also interesting to note that varicose veins can be a very debilitating problem.Natural spider vein treatments include eating a high-fiber diet, maintaining healthy body weight

The church with the bell tower was erected before 1334. It clung to the city walls and therefore also served defense functions. The church was renovated in 1587, 1683 and 1720, but it was decided to dismantle it around 1898. Only a part of the walls of the northern nave and tower remained of it. A new neo-gothic temple was built next to it.
The tower is square in a plan with dimensions of 6 x 6 meters, made of brick, equipped with arrowslits, as well as various pointed windows.

Do you ever wonder what mark you will leave behind when you die? Who and how will people remember you? Did you live or simply exist? Ever since I heard about Talia Joy Castellano loosing her battle with cancer (nueroblastoma) I have been pondering these questions. She fought and kicked cancers ass for 6 long years. Much longer than some. It may seem as though she has lost her battle, but she hasn't, and she won't. Her soul may leave but she will live on. In my eyes she's won her battle. She will do what we all have to do. "Just as we live we shall die, it's the circle of life"-talia. When she leaves this world, it will owe her nothing, she has come to do what she was meant to do. I just hate she had to go through all of this to achieve what god had set for her to accomplish. Sometimes I wonder why, why bring someone here that has to suffer? But isn't that the human side of me? We aren't always able to comprehend these things. And if you are raised in church you are taught to not question god… But we do anyway. We're human and he forgives us. Talia lived, she will forever live. She will always be an inspiration to me and so many others. In her final moments I hope and pray she has peace and comfort. She feels the love surrounding her and remembers that she didnt loose this battle… She kicked cancers ass. Her soul may leave but her message lives on. Her life wasn't always as beautiful as she was but it was beautiful just the same. What i will take from following some of her fight is to not feel sorry for myself no matter what situation I'm put in, to just keep swimming. I'm sure her next life will be so much more beautiful than this life. She'll be beautiful forever with no pain. That must seem like a nice thought for her right now. Used to finding nemo was just some kiddie movie that I could 1. Never watch all the way through 2. Never find the moral in. Now I watch it an it has meaning, I think of talia, I can now find the moral of the story and I have her to thank for that. "Just keep swimming" kid "just keep swimming".
I love this…
While we cook she is watching cartoons on the laptop. (Yes we have cable) she just wants to be in the kitchen with us:). I'm living on 4hours of sleep. Tea and Pepsi… Oh and a bossy toddler. Would I trade it? Nahhhh not for the world:)! Wish him and his daughter was here:(. Other than the fact zi would love it. I miss him.
Respiratory Di(stress), and Things
Today is just one of those days! Piles or shall I say mountains of clothes need to be washed, dried, and folded. Another load of dishes need to be washed. Tables need to be dusted, the animals cage need to be cleaned and beds need to be made. And I feel lonely! Zi isn't here and I miss those little toes right now and her willingness to help. However those little legs will be running through here again tomorrow and I honestly cant wait! My little khy'marrii went into respiratory distress today, that call almost caused an emotional melt down. He's to young to go through this ='(. Waiting for some good news to go see my little guy! Smh it just never ends. I need a red bull and Starbucks to finish this day!
Awards, Graduations, &&Emotions!
Whole family Up early this morning. Awards day, graduations! Why can't schools scatter these things out?! Work extra early(but thank god i have a job so no complaints that way). However I love these moments. I know when zi gets these things one day, I'll cry a river! Yes. Don't judge me. I'm a little emotional. Congrats Caleb, Quavez, kelina and to all my kids I work with that are receiving awards and are graduating! We are so proud of you all!
Before work I went On a mini shopping spree for zi! Pajamas,clothes, even bought her a pool! Seems like everyone wears her size in flip flops today!
Breaking Hearts…
When someone ask's me why do I love you? I simply smile and say I love you for who you are. I don't feel as though I need a long list or explanation for loving you or anyone for that matter. Sometimes you are not always the person I thought you were and sometimes you are more than I expected you to be. However this is not healthy for me emotionally. I realize that, yet I do nothing to prevent it. Why? because I guess I just keep hoping, I just keep praying that one day this will get better. Yet everytime you come back and walk away i'm left with the pieces to pick back up. Sometimes I think you have good intentions and you don't always mean to give me false hope and false dreams. I believe that at the moment you mean it and somewhere down the road you forget what you promised, you forget what you said, you forget about my heart. When someone asks me what do I see in you? I simply smile and say I see everything he has potential to be, I see all the things he can do. I see all the things he will do one day, just give him a little time. However I wonder how much more time can I spare? Right now I see all you can do, I also see all the things you don't seem to be willing to do. And where there is a will there is a way, but without the will you won't make a way. When I first met you I was under the impression that things were much different than they really are. Yet I still stuck around. I still stick around. Right now, I just feel stupid. I feel as though I've went beyond loving you, now i'm just being stupid for you. You leave and go back, I wait until the next time which won't be to far off from now. Sure enough you come back angry, and broken again. Yet I take you back in making sure you are okay, making sure you have what you need. How much longer can I do this? Because everytime zi ask me why can't she go play with your daughter I can't really find the words. She can't understand why she can't see her friend right now, why she see's her in pictures but not in person. I miss her myself. Sometimes I wonder why is it so hard to be good to the person that loves you, the one that doesn't cause all the drama in your life, the one that takes you reguardless, the one that literally loves you no matter what you do,the one that wants to help you. Then again how come I can't seem to love the one's thats good to me? Instead I take you back in everytime, I rather loose them than loose you, I rather satisfy you than the one's I know would give a good life. It's not about what you have, it's not about what you don't have. People ask me whats the point? I can't give them an answer because I don't have one. I sit and listen to you, I encourage you and for a moment you see what i'm saying, you agree and yet you put your blinders right back on. I do the same eveytime you pop back up. I listen to you and try not to even take what you say to heart because I know in the end you only let me down, yet I put my blinders back on block out what my head is telling me and listen to my heart and use the excuse "I love him." I remember when your cousin looked at me and said "damn girl your eyes smile when you see him." My heart smiles, and breaks at the same time. It must be the toughest muscle I have because as much as it has been let down it seems to be able to take a little more each time. Yet I don't think you treat me that bad. Even that part confuses me. I guess because when you are with me you treat me like every girl/woman wants to be treated. I was told I was to sweet for you, I was told I deserve better than you. I deserve the one I care about, the one I love and I deserve you. I just tell them what I put up with is my business, what we do is our business. Yet deep down I know I deserve someone that treats me right, I deserve someone that will stick to their word, I deserve to be there only one. Yet I want you because I do love you, because I only want you. Because i'm only willing to do half the stuff for others than I'm willing to do for you. I don't want to picture life without you being apart of it. Sometimes I'm not sure if I have a choice in the matter though.
There Will Come A Time…
There will come a time when she won't run into my arms to be picked up. There will come a time when she will not want to be held. There will come a time when she won't come get in my lap to watch tv with her sippy cup. As Zi get's older I see her personality come together. I see her stubborness when I tell her to hand me something that she can't have, or tell her to do something that she doesn't want to do as she just stands there and look at me refusing. I see her goofiness as she runs and laughs, and loves to try and scare me or play a joke. I recognize her becoming more and more independent as she wants to give herself a bath, pick out her own outfit, and even put her own clothes and shoes on. There will come a day when she will fix her own plate, put on her own clothes, stand in the mirror for hours to make sure she looks perfect. She will have a real boyfriend, She will drive and will not want to be my little shadow anymore. Doll's and minnie mouse scooters will be traded for cell phones and cars, computers and music devices, A bedtime story will be traded for a phone call with her friends. 3 1/2 years ago that seemed sooo far. Now looking at her I realize it's not that far away at all, it never was. And although my patience may grow thin having her sometimes, I wouldn't trade her for nothing and I love her unconditionally and there is no one or nothing in this world that will or could ever change that!
So if you have children, or a child, godchildren, or are caring for a child period. When you go home today or the next time you have them be sure to embrace that tantrum, because one day it will be replaced by a door slam, or a eye-roll. Instead of taking that phone call sit down and play with them, hug them, kiss them while you can because one day they will walk out the door with a simple "Mom/Dad i'm leaving", or a simple "Bye." Instead of putting them in bed and closing the door hold them tonight until they fall asleep because it won't last forever one day you will go in their room and they will already be sleep without a goodnight! Embrace the cry over a broken toy because one day it will be over a broken heart and you won't be able to replace that, or fix it with a simple hug. And that day will come when you look back on pictures of them being small wondering where in the world did the time go.
I've Lost All Respect "Time"
So time magazine was talking about co-sleeping "attachment parenting" and breast feeding! As if you don't hear enough controversy about it. Let's quote a few things ive heard "it's gross" "it's unnatural" "it's not normal" "it shouldn't be allowed in public". First off how can something so natural be unnatural? I don't find it gross I digest my food just fine:) I'm delighted that the kid gets to eat while I eat lol. (besides these days you see more boobs popped out on tv! Now lets talk about Not being natural! Bet you dont see a Problem with that) at least with breastfeeding it's helping him or her grow! And time here you come! Adding fuel to the fire, so what if someone breastfeeds over what YOU think is unnatural! No one asked what you thought! Parenting is a job that will have you doing a lot of things you never saw yourself doing! My mother co slept with me as well as my brother. So did my grandparents! We co slept with zi and she still does at 3! Yes she can fall asleep on her own and yes she is getting her own bed soon. Tell me something Dr. Sears since you know it all, do you know what it's like at 3 a.m walking down a hall to a crib where your kid is sleeping, all while seeing doubles because you are barely living off a few hours of sleep?, do you know what it's like to have a fear of SIDS?, or to have an infant that is sick or has a low immune system and their mothers milk can help strengthen their immune system?, do you know what it's like to look down at those little faces while they are sleeping/eating and how precious that moment is (that's right it's precious at 2,3,4,5,1000!)?? The thing that angers me the most is most of the people that write these articles don't have children of their own or have been exposed to children outside of "observation". And observation and actually being apart of a little human life that needs you are two different things! So who are you to tell a mom what she is or isn't doing is right or wrong!? There are no solutions to parenting because each child is different! As you learn your child you learn what works for you and your child to get through! Every mama is mama enough! She's mama enough because she loves her baby not because she breastfeeds them until age 6 or not! Not because she chooses cloth diapers or not. Not because her kid is 5 sleeping with her! It's because she is their mama, she loves them, they love her, shes doing what she finds best for her kids and that's all that matters! Forget time magazine! Along with dr. Sears and if you do have kids dr. Sears, I'm sure they have some bonding issues!
Instagram Health… Stop Over Feeding The Kid(s)
(100 calorie bread, turkey, and kiwi)
Dealing with weight issues nearly all my life (except for the moment i was born at 4lbs 15oz dropping to 4lbs. 7oz), I decided to go on this health kick! You know, excersise, better eating habits.. the basics! Why? because I have a desire to live longer (yes I know some people do what they think is right all their lives and still die young etc..But i'd rather die doing what I thought was best than die and it be my own fault) besides that I would like to remain diabeties, high blood pressure,and heart attack free. I've been to so many nutristionist it's far from funny, so I know what to do and what not to do… I just never really did it before. This time though, I'm determined. Unlike those unfortunate people that its really hard for them to loose weight, its not that way for me at all. It's just hard to STICK to the diet. I also find it so important for kids to be healthy. There's nothing that I hate more than to see an overweight child that people find funny, cute, and they have mounds of food on their plate. It bothers me personally because that kid was me, at that point its not the childs fault it's the parents fault! This leads to adulthood (unless that kid finds something wrong with their lifestyle and changes it). It's no longer funny when its hard for them to find clothes, or walk, or you have to prick their little fingers, or other kids are teasing them to no end because they can't keep up, and for (women) it can also affect you from being able to conceive(thats right for those of you who didn't know, it may not be your ovaries or your husbands sperm. So stop blaming that poor man lol! It could be your weight). If your child has a medical condition or are on some type of medication that causes them to gain weight, that is COMPLETELY understandable. I don't allow zi (or any other kid that steps foot in this camp) to eat that way around here, yes she gets a peanut butter and jelly, mcdonalds, and pizza. However her pizza is cut like a child, portioned like a child, and grapes or something healthy usually go along with it. What kid doesn't love mcdonalds, but its usually if i hear the *I'm hungry* and we are on the move (she eats when she says she hungry only, unless she just ate)! She is a really good eater and not that picky, she will try ALMOST anything which makes it easy to feed her. She likes Broccoli *I found that out a few weeks ago when putting it on her plate for the first time.* She also loves to be outdoors which is great!
Yes I understand that there are thin people who are unhealthy. And all sizes are beautiful, I won't love myself any less, or any more being skinny or plus size! Image is not what it's about, numbers aren't what it's about. It's about trying to be as healthy as possible and trying to do what's right. Not only for you, but for your kids, or future kids to (You have to start by example).

Exciting Debutant Germaine Brown Ready to Be A Star
Super-Middleweight Germaine Brown says he is looking forward to impressing the crowd when he takes to the ring on British Warriors card later this month.
The 23-year-old was a standout amateur at Fitzroy Lodge which saw him become the Novice London Champion and a Boxing Alliance England Finalist despite only starting the sport at 16.
He has transitioned into the paid ranks with the same coach he had at 'The Lodge' in well-respected Adam Martin.
Brown is based out of 12 Rounds Gym in Clapham along with Martin who has an impressive growing stable including the likes of ABA winners Louis Adolphe and Kirk Garvey.
The prospects entertaining, front foot style made him the perfect sparring partner for World Champion George Groves as he prepared for his World Boxing Super Series fight against Chris Eubank Jr.
And he is confident he will winning over fans at York Hall come 14th April.
"I know the fans are going to enjoy my fight, I have an aggressive style," he said.
"I've got the height, I've got the speed and I come to fight. I'll look to take it to my opponent.
"I'm a banger who has the technique to match, I like to work everything off of the jab.
The south west Londoner was a relative late comer to the sport, however he is confident that he has made the decision to turnover at the right time.
"I had just under 50 fights as am amateur in that time I was a Haringey Cup Junior Champion, the Novice London Champion and an England finalist.
"I spoke to my coach Adam Martin, I've always had a good rapport with him so it just felt like it was the right time to turnover."

Beach Blow Out
Old Navy Linen Top (old)
AEO Shorts
Party Birks
Anthropologie Bag (birthday gift)
Another boring beach outfit from the start of july but hey, I'm trying to be good about taking pictures of what I actually wear everyday. We go to both the beach and the library quite a bit during the summers, mostly because it's free fun. (The movie theater does play older movies for $1 on Thus and Weds but we are normally at work on those mornings.) We're quite lucky to have two really nice beaches in the Fairbanks/North Pole area and it's hard to beat an afternoon of playing in the warm water - as warm as a lake in Alaska can get!

Shima Seiki Spain S.A.U., Spanish subsidiary of a leading Japanese computerized knitting machine manufacturer Shima Seiki MFG., will hold a private exhibition in Barcelona, Spain.
The exhibition will showcase the company's latest Wholegarment knitting machine, based on its flagship MACH2X series. Featuring SlideNeedles mounted on four needlebeds, MACH2XS is the four-bed machine equipped with Shima Seiki's original spring-loaded moveable sinker system.
This is said to allow unprecedented capability in Wholegarment knitting, especially in producing 3D fabric structures and flechage knitting, which can be applied to brand new ideas in knit fashion.
To be displayed on the other end of the spectrum is the workhorse SSR112 shaping machine that inherits proven Shima Seiki technology such as the patented Digital Stitch Control System (DSCS), spring-loaded moveable sinker system, stitch presser, yarn gripper and cutter and takedown comb.
Made-in-Japan quality, reliability, productivity, user-friendliness and cost-performance combine to satisfy the high standards expected by today's fashion industry, the manufacturer reports.
Demonstrations will also be performed on Shima Seiki's SDS-ONE APEX3 3D design system that is at the core of the company's Total Knitting System concept.
With comprehensive support of all aspects throughout the knit supply chain, APEX3 integrates knit production into one smooth and efficient workflow from yarn development, product planning and design to machine programming, production and even sales promotion.
Especially effective is APEX3's capability to improve on the planning process with Virtual Sampling, according to the company. Photo-realistic simulation capability is said to minimize the need for sample-making, effectively reducing time, material and cost from the sampling process.

At face value, high quality purpose-built units – complete with gyms, communal areas and concierge services – would appear to offer what the rental market has long demanded.
Whilst still in its relative infancy, build to let and co-living is no longer simply theorised at property conferences – it's now the real deal, growing at a notably accelerated pace.
Savills estimates that some £15.6 billion has been invested in the sector over the last 6 years, a figure which Knight Frank believes could increase five-fold by 2025.
So what differences will built to let bring, and does it herald any significant threat to SME landlords? PRS landlords and quick homebuying company Property Solvers delve into the topic…
What Will Build To Let Involve?
It's likely that build to let projects will become attractive for a select sector of investors. These will usually be institutions and pension funds seeking out projects with stable income streams and, secondarily, long-term capital gain growth prospects.
It is these high-powered companies that are more likely to invest in build to let at a larger scale. The field is considered relatively risky so financial strength is key. These projects are based on a very new business model and teething problems in terms of management and economic viability are likely.
As something of a backlash against the rental sector's reputation for failing to deal with complaints in a timely manner and providing a poor standard of service, build to let properties are seemingly prioritising quality and the "customer experience", including security of tenure.
Within a favourable operational environment with top-down support, to date, the majority of these projects are London-centric – where land values and build costs render projects unviable.
Gradually, though, build to let is spreading its wings as it heads to the regions – most notably Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds. Rural parts of the UK and the more peripheral areas of urban areas are, as of yet, relatively unaffected.
Gyms, games rooms and social spaces are commonplace within these developments, as are concierge services and other conveniences. Many of these purpose-build properties are designed with a social atmosphere in mind in order to combat the reported loneliness that can be connected to city living.
The goal of many build to let projects is to respond directly to the requirements of today's renters in terms of contemporary priorities such as mental health and energy efficiency. They cater to those who rent as a choice, not an obligation, and therefore demand higher standards.
The Case Against Build to Let
The levels of investment in the build to rent and co-living fields contrast heavily with the state of the traditional rental sector, which has recently witnessed a spate of onerous cuts and updates to regulations and legislation.
Section 24 represents the tip of the iceberg – not to mention the impact of new borrowing restrictions (more stringent stress-testing criteria) and stamp duty surcharge across all second property purchases.
These issues have led to many landlords – possibly as much as 4,000 a month according to government statistics – either exiting the sector completely or having to cut back heavily on the ambition of their ventures and reducing their levels of gearing in order to adapt.
Is It As Bad As It Seems?
The financial hardships facing most landlords may occasionally be overstated. Approximately 65% of rental properties are owned mortgage-free – and most landlords operate at sensible gearing levels, particularly across many areas of the south.
This makes any threat arguably hyperbolic.
Indeed, many landlords have simply sold out to release the accumulated equity rather than as a result of pressure from new regulations.
What Might We Lose With Build to Let?
It is very possible that build to let investors will take a more corporate approach to their interaction with tenants – replacing one-on-one telephone conversations and emails between renters and landlords with centralised call centres that may not be onsite.
The flexibility of the traditional landlord may also be replaced with automated systems and tightly managed processes, resulting in less flexibility.
Affordability, too, may suffer. Build to let may provide less scope for shared housing options, meaning cost-conscious millennials may be put off – particularly those intending to save for their future.
It's generally less common for landlords renting privately to be called out publicly for mistakes and oversights, as problems are often resolved between the property owner and the tenant.
However, build to let investors are likely to rely heavily on their online reputation, and may face considerable difficulties should they become subject to poor reviews.
What's Next?
With the growing spectre of better all-round provision meaning that landlords cannot rest on their laurels, it's worth bearing in mind that the UK has 2 million property owners within the rental market alone who collectively own 5 million properties.
Assuming that the above estimations are correct – and that will be no sudden growth of new private rented properties on the market – we calculate that 3.2% of gross rental housing stock currently will belong to the build to let sector by 2025.
