See on Scoop.it – The Great Transition
Fossil-fueled power plants are the biggest greenhouse gas emitters worldwide. Modern gas capturing methods could make them more climate-friendly. But there's a risk to it, and Germany has decided to scrap it altogether.
Willy De Backer's insight:
Some five years ago, carbon capture and storage was hailed as the solution to our climate and energy problems just as shale gas and oil is now the miracle cure for energy security. Both cases will go down in future history as the last gasps of a too powerful fossil fuel industry stuck in the 20th century..

PARIS/MILAN (Reuters) - Italian online fashion retailer Yoox has bought Net-a-Porter, its upmarket rival, in an all-share deal that creates an industry leader in the booming online luxury market, with combined sales of 1.3 billion euros ($1.4 billion).
Net-a-Porter (NAP) owner Richemont CFR.VX will receive 50 percent of the combined Yoox Net-a-Porter Group but its voting rights will be capped at 25 percent, putting Yoox YOOX.MI effectively in charge of the combined business.
"Today, we open the doors to the world's biggest luxury fashion store. It is a store that never closes, a store without geographical borders," said NAP founder Natalie Massenet, who will oversee editorial content and advertising of the new group as executive chairman.
Yoox boss, founder and minority shareholder Federico Marchetti will become chief executive and shape strategy.
"Between us, we have changed the fashion industry somehow and we will continue to change it," Marchetti told journalists in a conference call on Tuesday.
The online luxury goods industry is still in its infancy, making up only around 5 percent of total luxury sales because many brands put off Internet expansion, worrying it would not offer customers the same high-end experience as their stores.
But many executives now believe the Internet will be key to driving future sales, particularly among the so-called Millennials, web-savvy customers born between 1980 and 2000.
Online luxury is not yet very profitable: Both Yoox's and NAP's operating margin is less than 5 percent compared with more than 25 percent for most big luxury brands such as Gucci or Prada.
But the pair hope their bigger size will help cut warehouse, logistical, back-office and distribution costs, lifting margins.
Yoox operates the online sales of fashion brands such as Ermenegildo Zegna and Kering PRTP.PA's Bottega Veneta and Saint Laurent and also sells items at a discount.
Analysts said the deal could help boost Yoox's chances of retaining luxury brands that might otherwise have wanted to take their online operations in-house once they gained experience.
"I'm positive on the outlook for the online luxury market. I believe it's a structural change that will gain traction as younger generations of more 'digitally minded' managers get to the top," said Gian Luca Pacini at Intesa Sanpaolo in Milan.
NAP, which is regarded as having helped make online shopping an entertainment experience, specializes in current season and off-the-runway items and advises customers on what to wear them with. It also published the fashion magazine Porter.
Marchetti said NAP would have the same valuation as Yoox once the deal was completed in September. Analysts valued NAP at around 1.5 billion euros, above Yoox which stood at 1.32 billion euros on Friday before news of the potential deal came out.
Yoox shares, which gained already nearly 10 percent on Monday after Yoox and Richemont confirmed Reuters reports they were in talks, were up more than 8 percent by 0501 EDT at 25.14 euros, valuing Yoox at 1.56 billion euros.
The combined business will generate adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of around 108 million euros in 2014 and annual synergies of around 60 million euros by the third full year, the two companies said.
If Yoox shareholders approve the deal in June, the new group will launch a rights issue of around 200 million euros ($216 million) in the fall to fund growth, with Richemont expected to fund around half the sum, a spokesman for the Swiss group said.
Marchetti said strategic investors keen to participate in the capital increase could include luxury brands but gave no further details.
Richemont has agreed to a lock-up period of three years regarding half of its stake, or 25 percent, which analysts said they would expect the Swiss group to eventually sell.
The group will appoint two members of 12-member board.
Marchetti, who currently owns over 7 percent of Yoox, said he planned to remain a shareholder.

- This event has passed.
Early Morning Sunday Communion
1 March @ 8:30 am - 9:15 am
An event every week that begins at 8:30 am on Sunday, repeating until 15 March, 2020
Want to discover new ways to meet with God on a Sunday morning?
Want to go to church at the weekend, but can't make the 10:30am service for some reason?
Each Sunday (between 2nd Feb and 15th March), before our usual Sunday service, we'll be holding our early morning Holy Communion. Worship will be stripped back (acappella, or Taize style) a short sermon and a chance to pray and share communion – informal but using some Anglican liturgy.
We aim to find creative ways to use this time together, and we expect in this service to have life-changing encounters with the Living God, as well as a still post in a hectic week. There will be no Sunday school during this service, though older children should be able to feel welcome in this short service. We will finish at 9:15am with time afterwards to chat, chill, stay for the next service, go for a walk or head home!
These will be in held in the Big Barn.

Press Release: CIJA's Statement for the Second Anniversary of the Quebec Mosque Shooting
January 29, 2019
Montreal, QC – Today marks the second anniversary of the deadly shooting at the Islamic Cultural Centre of Québec City. To mark this tragic event, CIJA Co-Chairs Joel Reitman and Jeff Rosenthal issued the following:
"We remain saddened and deeply disturbed by the murder of six members of the Muslim faith, targeted while at prayer on this day two years ago. We reiterate our heartfelt sympathy to the families of the victims shattered by this heinous crime. We repeat our call on governments and civil society alike to be vigilant in combating hatred against all minorities, knowing that bigotry and intolerance can pose a lethal threat to innocent life. When a society is not safe for one group it is not safe for any group."
Rabbi Reuben Poupko, Co-Chair of CIJA-Quebec, added:
"The Jewish community stands with our Muslim friends and neighbours – and all Québécois – in remembering the victims of this atrocity. In addition to reaching out to the Muslim community to express solidarity at this painful time, we rededicate ourselves to standing against all forms of hatred and intolerance – which are anathema to Québécois and Canadian values."

Gardens are set to thrill crowds at Sandringham Flower Show
PUBLISHED: 08:50 25 July 2018 | UPDATED: 09:08 28 July 2018
Archant 2018
As show gardeners sweated over the finishing touches to their creations, none could remember a hotter, drier run-up to the big day.
Just keeping plants alive has been enough of a struggle – let alone producing a colourful display that will tick the right boxes with the judges.
But all were agreed that all the effort has paid off despite the challenging conditions and this year's array of large and small gardens will provide visitors with a feast of inspiration.
Thornham-based designer Jane Scott Moncrieff's garden takes you from the sandy slopes of Sandringham to the snow-capped Himalayas, with a tea house nestled amid plants from Nepal, China and India. Draped with himalayan prayer flags, the garden has been built to promote the Gurkha Welfare Trust.
"It's been very much a family affair," she said. "We've had my mother, my daughter, my husband, friends – all have come and done their bit. I've thoroughly enjoyed it, I just wish it was 10 degrees cooler."
You could say show regulars Ralph and Linda Nicholls garden from the heart, so their display is aptly-named.
"All our plants are grown on our allotment, so from May it's been a real challenge," said Mr Nicholls, who has been raising and nurturing plants for the show on their plot at Litcham since August.
Sweet peas planted on the show garden just days ago have already gone from flower to seed.
Andy and Suse Crook, of local business ABC, designed a garden on behalf of King's Lynn Samaritans, who are celebrating the group's 50th anniversary. The garden represents the journey from a dark place to sunnier times.
"The ground's been very hard and the heat's been very tiring to work in," said Mrs Crook, who also raised her own plans for her display. "Leading up to it, it's required a lot of time spent watering them."
Broadacre Gardens' leafy Retreat follows an overgrown path to a hidden sanctuary tucked away amid the greenery.
Elaine Davies from Broadacre said: "It's all about health and well-being, all have to have somewhere to go, we all need a bolt-hole, we all need something other than work."
Hilary-Fay Mellor's Coming Home celebrates everyone's need for a place to call their own, with lush herbs contrasting with more fiery plantings.
"It's just that feeling of relief I'm home," she said.
The Prince's Trust and Grow Organisation have joined forces to create the Grow and Trust Garden, enlisting people of different backgrounds and generations with the focus on teamwork and learning new skills.
Lizzy Neale, the trust's Get Started programme executive, said the garden was giving young people not in education or employment or training the opportunity to learn new skills.
"This brings young people together to work on their confidence, to work as a team," she said.
Louise Keeley and Loraine Baker's first show garden supports the charity CRY – Cardiac Risk in the Young – and its campaign to raise awareness. As the sun beat down, they have been building a garden which evokes the stillness of winter after a fall of snow.
"I've already had comments to say it's a really peaceful garden," said Mrs Baker, whose husband John will be out first thing on the morning of the show added the final touch in the form of a dusting of artificial snow.
The show gardens are judged by TV gardeners Chris Beardshaw and Alan Mason, with the best winning the EDP Best in Show trophy.
In recent years the People's Choice, decided by show-goers, has proven popular. You can vote for your favourite in the marquee between the gardens. Eagerly-awaited results of both are announced in the Horticultural Talks Marquee at 2.45pm.

Did Cash-Strapped Americans Keep These Retailers From Cheering?
The holiday shopping season is failing to give many retailers a reason to cheer. With the economy wrapped in high unemployment levels and stagnant wage growth, about one in four Americans spent less than expected during the holidays.
According to a new survey from Bankrate.com, 26 percent of Americans came in under their estimated budget, while only 14 percent spent more than expected. Younger people were more likely to overspend, but no single age group collectively spent more than expected. Households with an annual income of $75,000 or more were the only consumers to be more inclined to have spent more rather than less during the holiday season: 23 percent spent more than expected, compared to only 11 percent of those who made $30,000 or less.
"The U.S. economy has definitely carried some momentum into 2014, but it's still a slow-growth economy with high unemployment and stagnant household income," said Greg McBride, CFA, Bankrate.com's senior financial analyst. "Consider that the economy has hit a rough patch each year of the recovery, usually in the first half of the year, and has underperformed the Fed's estimates year-in and year-out. I expect similar results in 2014."
Bankrate.com found that Americans are feeling better about their overall financial situation but are still negative about their savings. Compared to a year ago, only 20 percent of Americans felt more comfortable about the amount of money they have in savings, while 30 percent felt less comfortable. Nearly half of Americans did not feel any differently about their savings.
Several retailers have recently echoed the frugality of consumers during the holiday shopping season. Shares of SodaStream (NASDAQ:SODA) crashed more than 20 percent on Monday after the company announced weaker-than-expected fourth-quarter results. SodaStream makes home beverage carbonation systems that are often a popular gift for the holidays.
"Despite achieving all-time record sales, we failed to deliver our profit targets and are disappointed in our fourth-quarter performance," said Daniel Birnbaum, CEO of SodaStream. "These preliminary results reflect a challenging holiday selling season in the U.S. and several factors, mostly from the second half of the quarter that negatively impacted our gross margin."
Adding to the weakness, shares of Lululemon Athletica (NASDAQ:LULU) posted a double-digit loss on Monday after updating its guidance. For the fourth quarter, Lululemon now anticipates net revenue will be in the range of $513 million to $518 million, down from $535 million to $540 million. Lululemon expects earnings per share in the range of 71 to 73 cents for the quarter, down from 78 to 80 cents.
Last week, shares of Bed Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ:BBBY) suffered their worst intraday decline in more than a year after reporting disappointing earnings and cutting fourth-quarter guidance. Bed Bath & Beyond expects earnings of $1.60 to $1.67 per share in the fourth quarter, compared to its previous estimate of $1.70 to $1.77 per share.
Other well-known companies like Sears Holdings (NASDAQ:SHLD) and Family Dollar Stores (NYSE:FDO) have also warned about the retail environment in January. "As expected, comparable stores sales were pressured, as we anniversaried strong consumable sales growth last year. In addition, our core customers continued to face economic uncertainties, and the promotional environment intensified," said Howard R. Levine, Family Dollar's CEO, in the company's latest quarterly report.

Have you ever like me, walked into a restaurant looked at the menu and gulped when you realised there are fifty plus dishes on it from ranging from Italian to Mexican to Thai cuisine? My alarm bells start to flash like crazy and I think, how can they be good at all these things?
One of my favourite restaurants in the world is The Laksa Bar in Melbourne. Yes you guessed it, most of the dishes on the menu are laksa and because of that they are really good at it. It doesn't matter what day of the week you go, this little restaurant is always buzzing with customers.
Many small business owners seem to struggle with the idea of becoming a specialist rather than a generalist.
Some business owners simply want to try and help everyone and not leave anyone out. Others think that by narrowing what they offer and to whom, they will make less money or they think the market is too small.
In fact it's the opposite. Marketing experts say that if you narrow your niche, your business will strengthen. You just need to make sure your product or service fills a genuine need in the niche you choose.
Here are five ways a narrow niche broadens your opportunities.
1. People love doing business with specialists
If you have just been diagnosed with bowel cancer, who would you rather be treated by, your GP or a well regarded consultant oncologist?
It is just the same when we make a purchase. If you are interested in ethical investments, then you would be much more likely to try to seek out a financial adviser with specialist knowledge in that area, rather than work with someone who works broadly with everyone.

2. It's easier to market yourself
When you try to reach everyone out there with your marketing, then the chances are your message will resonate with very few.
If you were persuading your 18 year old niece to come on holiday with you, your strategy and language would be very different than if you were asking 75 year old grandfather to join you. Marketing is the same principle.
An 18 and 75 year olds of different sexes have different problems, motivations, interests and desires. Therefore the way you need to talk to each is very different.
Can you imagine being a gym owner trying to bring in 18 girls and 75 year old men? Both would be utterly put off by the other group being there and you'd end up attracting no one.
Marketing is about telling a story that resonates with someone deeply enough to do business with you. Narrowing your niche makes marketing, cheaper, easier and much more effective.
3. You'll get more referrals
When you are able to solve a specific problem for a specific group of people, you become well known for it. Your customers will rave about you and refer other people to you just like them.
When you are out networking in person or online people find it much easier to refer people to you when you have communicated very specific about the people you help and how you help them. Generalists are easily forgettable but specialists because they are much less common stand out like unicorns.
4. You Can Charge More
In smaller niches where there is less competition, people are prepared to pay more for what you do because they perceive that if that's all you do then you will be good at it.
For example if you were an acupuncturist who has specific experience with helping women to become pregnant, clients would come far and wide and pay much more for the service than that of a generalist because you are well known for solving a specific problem they have.
5. When you focus on less you'll achieve much more
The more people you try to please and the more product lines you have to focus on, the harder it will be to succeed.
It's like spinning plates, if you are trying to keep one in the air, you can concentrate on it really hard and it will most likely stay there. If you are trying to spin five at a time you will start to drop some or most likely all of them.
Focusing on becoming the master at solving one or two really specific problems for a smaller group of people, is much more effective than trying to be everything to everybody.
Imagine if Apple decide to start making pianos, what would it do to their brand and how confused would their customers be????
The trick is to find a niche an inch wide and a mile deep and then get really, really good at it!

It looks so great around my girlfriend's neck and I think she likes it even more than I do.

BANGOR CITY completed the double over Cwmbran Town with only three survivors from the team that thrashed the South Wales side 7-2 at home in September.
Peter Davenport's men had to come from behind to take full points, having fallen behind 20 minutes into the match when Chris Summers netted from short range after seizing on to a long free-kick from around the half-way line.
Cwmbran might have gone further ahead, with Summers clearing the crossbar and Adam Jones skimming a post before Ross Jefferies equalised on 35 minutes with a 15-yard curling shot from the left.
Bangor were the more effective outfit in the second half and it was no surprise when Kenny Burgess fired the winner on the hour, punishing a the home defence after they failed to clear their lines properly from a corner.
Bangor's on-loan goalkeeper from Wrexham, Danny Evans, made crucial saves from Jamie Edwards and Jason Welsh, while at the other end, Paul Roberts was had a breakaway goal controversially ruled out for offside.
City manager Davenport reflected: "It was particularly satisfying because, in a sense, this was almost a brand new formation compared with early season.
"We had two new defenders in Jim McNulty and Gareth Evans - and they gelled nicely."
CWMBRAN TOWN: Wesson, James, Green, Perry, Warton, Fowler, Summers, R Jones, Welsh, Mohammed, Edwards. Subs: Wallis, Dimond, Hunquest, Hurlin.
BANGOR CITY: D Evans, McNulty, G Evans, E Jones, Williams, Griffiths, Burgess, Davies, P Roberts, Jefferies, Friel. Subs: Gedman, G Roberts, Davenport.

2018 Toyota Camry Release Date
2018 Toyota Camry Release Date – No longer needed the evidence to make the Toyota Camry one of the best-selling model for Toyota over the years in the era of the 2000s. Even now, he continues to take great advantage thanks to market share for various quality tests including reliability, price, convenience and quality. But compared to some of the competition, it looks dated, old technology has installed and only really needs an update.
Toyota understands that consumers are getting a little long in the tooth, and has set about redesigning for the future, the 2018 Camry was on the way to a new design.
There have been no official declarations from Toyota with respect to the discharge date (or even the begin of generation) for the Camry, so we can sit tight for the procedure to start (spy shots, disguised models, debuts and so on), however now, we think there will be no new model until at any rate the end of 2017, maybe going into 2018.
2018 Toyota Camry Price and Release Date
Its absolutely impossible that Toyota can build up another auto and take a couple of years to do that and afterward present it at an indistinguishable cost from the current (2016) show. The present base model offers for $24,000, so we expect a base cost of $26,500 for the cutting edge show.
Sadly, auto devotees won't see the 2018 Toyota Camry Price this year. It is destined to be seen in the city in late 2017, purportedly. In the event that hypotheses are to be valid, it may have a normal cost of $26,000 to $30,000.

2018 Toyota Camry Body and Esthetics
The 2018 Camry Specs cows the all-new look of 2018 Toyota Camry that is bigger and can convey more travelers, CarScoops noted. The auto bears a Lexus-like shaft grille, enormous lower affirmations and L-formed LED front light bunches. Its bodywork is made out of rigid lines, board wrinkles and pumped protects
The blueprint of 2018 Toyota Camry Interior can be contrasted with the Lexus IS Sedan. It is finished with a natural like glasshouse and bended back windows that keep away from the standard C-column decorates of the car. Its backside style is eclipsed by sparkly taillight groups while its trunk is more statured with quad debilitate tips.
2018 Toyota Camry Powertrain
As per Carslane, 2018 Toyota Camry performance will have various different powertrains. Normally, motor lineup has two units, while this one will keep the 2.5-liter four-barrel which the present Toyota models have. The auto can pump up 178 strength and 170 pound-feet of torque, however in the event that the driver needs more power, they have a moment decision of 2.0 turbocharged four-chamber.
With the turbocharger 2018 Toyota Camry has, it can deliver more power than its base motor. This additionally has a motor that can convey a yield of 235 pull and 258 lb-ft of torque and a lower CO2 discharge that ought to be directed by 30 percent.
2018 Toyota Camry Test drive
Toyota Camry is one of the smash hit autos in the U.S. Consequently, a considerable measure of auto devotees are currently sitting tight for the arrival of 2018 Toyota Camry. The vehicle has been for some time supposed being developed, yet the engine partnership hasn't discharged any affirmation about it.
2018 Toyota Camry is quite anticipated contrasted with its opponents Ford Fusion and Mazda 6. As the vehicle's spilled photographs now rise, it would seem that the car conveys more stylish feel and with the quality and operation of Toyota Racing Development (TRD).
Once more, no official affirmation about motor specs, other than constrained acceptance, however economy is best right now, so supplanting the old V6 motor with a turbocharged 4-barrel bodes well; it would be littler, lighter, all the more intense and more effective. There may perhaps be a scope of motors, beginning as little as 1.8 liters.
As indicated by sources, Toyota expects at least a 30% power increment over the present model, couple that with a lighter weight (notwithstanding being bigger) and cutting edge transmission and it appears that the 2017 Toyota Camry will keep on outing offer its adversaries, similarly as the current model does.
While minimal authority data is accessible, we do realize that the new Camry will be based upon the cutting edge stage, what Toyota is calling "Toyota New Global Architecture" (TNGA). It is suspected that Toyota 2018 Camry will stay loyal to the current style, all things considered, it is one of the top of the line vehicles in the U.S., instead of upset, expect development.
It will look more cutting edge, maybe somewhat greater and obviously will join bunches of new tech, both mechanically and as driver helps. This is all about 2018 Toyota Camry Release Date, comment below if you need anything or request some review.

Koni FSD Damper Set
- 2000
- 911 Carrera
Hi, I have a 2000 Porsche 996 with about 63,000 miles. The front bump stops look very dry and have mostly disintegrated and I need to replace them, but since I need to remove the struts, I thought that with 63,000 miles on them, I should upgrade to a set of Konis.
I've done quite a bit of research and have decided to go with the - Koni FSD Damper Set (Manufacturer Part #: 2100-4110).
My question is whether this is a good choice for my 996? I'm certain that someone on this forum has had a set of Koni FSDs and I wanted to get some feedback on whether this is a good choice vs. perhaps a set of Bilsteins. I can get the Koni FSDs for about $750 vs. the BilSteins, which would run me closer to about $1,000.
My main driving experience with my 996 is mostly street and highway driving. I do not take the car to the track, nor do we have winding hills in Miami...(I wish). So, its a rather typical street applicaiton.
Your experience and suggesitons are greatly appreciated, so that I can make an informed decision.
Best Regards,

"But there is always a November space after the leaves have fallen when she felt it was almost indecent to intrude on the woods…for their glory terrestrial had departed and their glory celestial of spirit and purity and whiteness had not yet come upon them." (L.M. Montgomery)
November is upon us – November! Wasn't June just yesterday? In typical northern Michigan fashion, we're already covered with a blanket of snow. And since Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, I'm utilizing pumpkin in as many recipes as possible (such as my favorite pumpkin baked oatmeal and vegan pumpkin scones).
A few weeks ago I asked my Facebook friends and Instagram gang if a "family update and favorite things" post would be of interest. The answer was a resounding YES, so each month I'll share a post like this documenting what we're doing, my favorite products, services, and little loves, and how I'm overcoming my daily challenges.
This post contains Amazon affiliate links. These are for products I already own and love, and if you use the link to buy something, it gives me a small percentage at no extra cost to you. This helps me keep the blog running and provide for our little fam!
As I write this, I'm three weeks postpartum with Geneva Anne (birth story and pictures coming soon – I promise!). We're getting back into a routine and I'm starting to feel like myself again; Josh returned to work when I was 5 days postpartum and was gone on business most of the next week, so the third week has been the most "normal" one so far.
There's a lot I'm loving this November, but following are the highlights!
a better postpartum experience
When Adeline was born two years ago, we had just moved (five days prior) from Virginia to Pennsylvania. Our new apartment had no air conditioning, it was 90 degrees, I'd met my midwife only two weeks prior (due to the sudden move) and went into labor at 37 weeks and five days when my water broke at 2 AM. Adeline was born seven hours later. While her birth was wonderful, my postpartum experience was not. Three days after she was born, I broke out in a blistering rash all over my body. My midwife had no idea what it was. I was told I could treat it with steroids, but was uncomfortable doing so while breastfeeding (which was also going horribly, due to low supply and a lethargic, early baby). So for eight weeks I suffered through inconsolable itching, yellow blisters, and the humid heat of Lancaster County.
It took eight months and an attentive doctor to help diagnose my condition: Pemphigoid gestationis, an autoimmune condition in which the body attacks itself through the skin. It can lead to preterm labor when the body attacks the placenta as well. Women with pemphigoid gestationis have a high likelihood of its return with every pregnancy. It also returns for each menstrual cycle, though in less extreme form.
So when I got pregnant with Geneva, one of my biggest concerns was the onset of this condition. In my eighth month the itching began to return – but this time, it never led to a full break out! At three weeks postpartum I still have not experienced even a hint of the full rash. There are several things I did to prevent it, with the guidance of my new midwives:
- Completely changed my diet. During my pregnancy with Adeline, I ate dairy, gluten, lots of refined carbs, and sugar. After I had her, Josh and I switched to the Trim Healthy Mama/Paleo lifestyle, which we've been eating for two years now. Because pemphigoid gestationis is an autoimmune condition, THM/Paleo is one of the best ways to battle it. I eat little to no dairy, very little gluten, and almost no sugar. We also concentrate on protein and a Whole30-esque dinner plan.
- Took milk thistle and dandelion root. My midwife recommended the milk thistle for my liver function, and I found a pemphigoid support group where I learned many home birth mamas like myself were taking dandelion root for the itching. I took both for the last 6-8 weeks of my pregnancy. I saw a significant difference if I went even an hour past the time I was due to take the herb capsules – my itching would immediately increase.
- Nutritional accountability. I shared in my posts on what I did differently this pregnancy that my midwives had me keep food journals and count my proteins (80-100 grams a day). This not only transformed my weight gain (25 lbs this pregnancy, versus 50 lbs with Adeline, and at three weeks pp I am 2 lbs from pre-pregnancy weight), I know it helped keep my condition at bay.
some other postpartum favorites
The biggest thing I'm grateful for this time around? Having family nearby! My mom has helped SO much with Adeline, and my sister (our birth photographer) lived with us for 2-3 weeks as I waited around through prodromal labor.
There are a few other things I'm glad I discovered this time around, particularly when it comes to wardrobe:
These nursing tanktops from Amazon and these boho harem pants from One Tribe Apparel:
I also love the boho kimonos from One Tribe Apparel – they are great for over leggings and tanktops when I'm hanging out at home, and could easily be dressed up with boots and a belt:
I've also gotten lots of compliments on the dress I wore for Geneva's dedication. This was an Amazon find! I wanted a comfortable, classy dress that still allowed me to nurse Geneva. This one was just perfect: Stretchy, knee length, long sleeve, with a flattering cut. Get it here!
a better breastfeeding experience
I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm "loving" breastfeeding. It's just not something I enjoy. But it's good for Geneva, and I'm giving it a go again, despite how much I dislike it. So far my supply has not suffered at all (probably due to improved diet!) and I have not experienced any of the pain I had last time (other than cramping the first three days – HOLY MOLY second baby cramps are NO JOKE).
A few things I AM loving with this nursing experience: This nursing cover/car seat-to-cart-seat cover.
I also adore my Vilah Bloom Cafe Crossover diaper bag (hanging on the coat rack). This diaper bag has FOUR ways to carry it: Crossbody, over arm, as a backpack, or strapped to your stroller. The front zippers even lead to a refrigeration pocket for transporting breastmilk! I used it just the other day when assisting with a women's event at church. I didn't have time to nurse Geneva, so gave her a bottle instead. This diaper bag is truly a lifesaver, especially now that I have two kiddos. If you buy through their site, use my code BLOOMER006 to let them know I sent you!
(Since I might get asked, my boots are Sorel brand, Joan of Arctic edition, I think. Perfect for our frigid northern temps).
I have started loosely structuring Geneva's feeding times as we prepare to sleep train in a few weeks (I use BabyWise for this). Right now, she's still napping in her bassinet and either co-sleeping with us at night or sleeping in her bassinet next to our bed. These postpartum hormones are no joke and it gets a little warm sleeping with a baby, so I love Bluebird Linen sheets for this season. We have the queen size white six piece set, which we rotate with another set of white sheets (every Monday I wash sheets and switch them out). Bluebird's are definitely the favorite!
Since Geneva was born at home, the corner of our room was filled with the birthing tub for the last six weeks. After returning it to my midwife, I set up a comfy nursing corner with everything I need for late night feedings. Eventually this will get moved to the nursery, once we transition Eva to join Adeline in there.
My nursing basket has a few things I use for feeding times: the iPad, some books I'm reading, burp cloths, lanolin, granola bars, gripe water (for baby's gas) and my water bottle.
some pretty awesome books
Before Eva was born, I bought a massive list of books I'd been wanting. Tomorrow I'll be sharing the complete postpartum reading list, but right now I'm only reading five:
- And Then I Had Kids by Susan Yates
- BabyWise: Giving Your Baby the Gift of Nighttime Sleep (re-read)
- Reading People by Anne Bogel
- Cultivate by Lara Casey
- Dawn of a Thousand Nights by Tricia Goyer
my handy food tracker
One of the TOP questions I receive on Instagram is "Where did you get your food tracking sheets?" I have two sheets pinned to my fridge: One detailing the protein counts for common foods, and a chart of recommended daily food intake for pregnant and nursing women, which I check off throughout the day.
I finally asked my midwife if there was an online file she could send me, and unfortunately there isn't – but I DID take photos of the charts and make them into a downloadable file just for you! Click below to download!
my toddler activity schedule
I shared on my Instagram stories how I schedule out my day as I'm transitioning to two girls instead of one. One big help has been adding a toddler activity schedule to my day. Just as I schedule the laundry and cleaning for each day, as well as the work tasks I plan to complete, I've added in 3-4 activity options to do after preschool with Adeline.
She also has an activity drawer she can access herself, but by intentionally spending time on these activities with her she gets the attention she needs with the new baby joining our family. A few activities we do:
- Legos
- Puzzle hide and seek
- Sorting pom poms
- Drawing on chalkboard or whiteboard
- Coloring
- Playdough
- Reading books about winter and snow
Next week I'll share a list of Advent toddler activities for December.
this physical touch marriage course
I've been following Cassie Celestain of True Agape for about a year now. Her posts on having a physical touch (of the Five Love Languages) spouse have been very helpful to me. Josh's primary language is physical touch, which has been a big struggle for me since physical touch makes me extremely uncomfortable.
So when Cassie launched a short e-course on loving your physical touch spouse – "Getting Physical" – I immediately signed up. It's been enlightening and helpful to me as I analyze why I struggle with this and how I can meet Josh's needs, especially in the tough season of having a newborn.
Tune in next month for my favorites for December! I hope you find a few things here that YOU can use for your own life and family.

Conference "Monitoring and Evaluation for Responsible Innovation"
A conference on taking responsibility in M&E for systemic change
Wageningen University and Research centre
Conference report ready! See 'documents' on the right.
Expectations about evaluation are shifting away from mainly assessing goal achievement to asking if the goals themselves can be considered responsible and how can we become more aware and critical of unexpected effects.
All availabe powerpoints have been uploaded. You can find the presentations by clicking on the presenter's name in the text below or use the useful links on the right side of this page. For more pictures click here. The conference has been mentioned by AEA and Gender and Evaluation.
More videos of the conference can be found on our YouTube Channel.
Triggered in part by the undeniably urgent social and environmental crises, this shift asks of those involved in monitoring and evaluation to be clear which questions must be asked, what competencies are needed to do this, which conversations with who matter, and who is accountable for transformative innovation. The concept of 'responsible innovation' can help inspire those engaged in monitoring and evaluation to contribute responsibly for a sustainable and equitable future.
On Day 1, after the opening by Cecile Kusters, we enjoyed the keynote speeches of Dr. Irene Guijt on "From responsible innovation to responsible monitoring and evaluation" and Professor Phil Macnaghten, who talked about Responsible Innovation, International Development and the Challenge for Evaluation. The key note speeches were followed by sessions with a thematic focus:
Institutional Evaluation:
- Fredrik Korfker (consultant) and Elsa de Morais Sarmento (ADB): Monitoring and evaluation in multilateral development banks. Is gathering lessons
learned leading to institutional innovations?
- Marlene Roefs and Simone van Vught (Centre for Development Innovation, Wageningen UR): Bridging stakes and converging focus - Are we doing M&E for responsible innovation in PPP context?
Shifting mindsets and cultures in complicated partnership based systems:
- Bethany Davies (Clear Horizon) Brian Belcher (CIFOR) and Julien Colomer (IUCN): Learning Partnerships: Current Realities and Future Prospects.
- Eric Koper (International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, Nigeria): Results Based Monitoring and Evaluation of Systems Innovation; Case Humidtropics, a CGIAR Research Program.
Lobby and Advocacy:
- Lieke Ruimschoot and Karine Godthelp (Fair, Green and Global alliance; Contextinternational cooperation): Using M&E of Lobby and Advocacy for Responsible Innovation
- Yvonne Es and Willemijn de Iongh (Oxfam Novib): Oxfam's Behind the Brands Campaign: engaging companies, public and communities in moving towards a more just food system.
When existing M&E approaches prove inadequate:
- Lucie Blok and Mirjam Bakker (Royal Tropical Institute): A pragmatic approach to measuring, monitoring and evaluating interventions for improved tuberculosis case detection.
- Augustin Kouevi (University of Abomey – Calavi): Evaluating in a context of repetitive discrepancy between espoused and in‐use action theories: Lessons from the fishery area of Grand‐Popo, Benin
Later in the afternoon on the first day there were roundtable discussions on the following topics:
- Innovations in M&E of private sector development interventions
- Behavioural insights in M&E for responsible innovation
- Collective sense making to navigate diverse values and needs
Day 2: Cases on cores themes were presented:

1. Singaporean Mohamed Faishal bin Mohd Razali (Faishal), a 27-year-old parking warden, was detained in April 2018 under the Internal Security Act (ISA) after investigations showed that he was radicalised, and wanted to undertake armed violence overseas in various conflict zones, including Syria.
2. Sometime in mid-2016, Faishal, who was not known to be a religious person, turned to the Internet to try to improve his religious knowledge. He began to imbibe the religious teachings of foreign preachers, including Ismail Menk and Yusuf Estes, who are known to preach segregationist and divisive teachings. He was also exposed to the online radical teachings of Al-Qaeda ideologue Anwar al-Awlaki (deceased). Over time, coupled with his weak religious foundation, he became convinced that waging armed violence was legitimate and saw that as a means of redeeming his sins.
3. From early 2017 onwards, Faishal started making preparations to undertake armed violence overseas. Amongst other things, he searched online for a "religious authority" who would support his decision to engage in armed violence, and sounded out two of his friends on his plan to participate in armed violence overseas. They disagreed with him and tried to dissuade him from his radical path. His family members who came to know of his intentions also tried to dissuade him. Despite these efforts, he continued to believe that he was duty-bound to engage in armed violence in an overseas conflict. Someone who knew of his plans alerted the authorities, so that he could be prevented from continuing down this radical path.
Lapse of Restriction Orders
4. The Restriction Orders (ROs) issued against three Singaporeans under the ISA were allowed to lapse upon expiry between February 2018 and March 2018. The three Singaporeans were:
• Sahrudin bin Mohd Sapian (Sahrudin; aged 62), a Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) member;
• Mohamed Rafee bin Abdul Rahman (Rafee; aged 54), a JI member; and
• Wang Yuandongyi (Wang; aged 25), who had attempted to join a foreign militia group.
5. Sahrudin and Rafee fled Singapore in December 2001 in the wake of security operations against the JI. They were later arrested overseas with the co-operation of regional authorities, and detained under the ISA following their deportation to Singapore in January 2012. They were released and placed on RO in February 2014. The ROs issued against them were allowed to lapse in February 2018.
6. Wang was placed on RO in March 2016. He had attempted to join a Kurdish militia group, People's Protection Units, in Syria to fight against the terrorist group Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. The RO issued against him was allowed to lapse in March 2018.

Bayern play maker Mario Gotze is determined to stay at Munich and prove his worth to the team and ruled out a move out of the club in January.
Now it is almost certain that interested parties like Liverpool and Juventus have to wait until summer of 2016 to praise the World Cup winner away from the German capital.
Gotze said he knew about the speculations regarding the reunion with his former coach Jurgen Klopp and there are no contacts from Liverpool whatsoever.
The 23-year old reveals that he wants to become the face of the record Bundelsliga Champions and he is very happy to be a Bayern player, said the player in an interview with Süddeutsche Zeitung.
Gotze doesn't seem to be happy when quizzed about the rumors as he replied by saying "I have nothing to say about these rumors and if Klopp wants him at Liverpool, he should approach me".
At the same time, he quoted that he has a desire to work under Carlo Ancelotti and what the Italian plans for the club will be crucial in his decision to stay with the Bavarians.
As we understand, he would like to avoid a similar situation he experienced under Pep Gaurdiola when the ex-Real Madrid boss takes over at the end of the season.
Talking to Sport Bild Bayern sporting director Matthias Sammer called the rumors "absolute nonsense" and would not like to make any comments on the matter.
Gotze is currently injured since suffering a torn muscle in his groin area in October and is expected to return to full fitness by February.
Liverpool's ever growing injury list as we call 'The Hamstring Train' has forced head-coach Jurgen Klopp to field a number of young players in the FA cup clash against Exeter City on Friday night.
The biggest threat to the seasons ambitions of the Reds will be the absence of Coutinho, as Liverpool are prepared to play another 5 matches in a span of 2 weeks.
There are also rumors connecting the Reds with Fiorentina striker Giuseppe Rossi and Schalke defender Joel Matip.
Marko Grujic is the only confirmed deal in the current transfer window for Liverpool so far, but the Serbian youngster has been immediately loaned back to Red Star Belgrade for the rest of the season.

When I moved to the US from the UK in 2002 one of the hardest things was leaving behind my friends and family. I was really lucky to make some great new friends including Emma & Deb. Over the years there have been job changes, location changes, weddings (for me and Deb, Emma got married when she was like 12), and now babies (for them, not me) and through it all we've been pretty much constant in our lunch dates once a month. Mostly at Sweet Basil in Andover where we only ever get one lunch delivered at a time, but we like the Pad Thai so much that we don't stress over the random service. And once in a while we even go out for dinner with the husbands, the last time was December and featured my green Dorothy Oz shoes.
Anyhoo, you would imagine that having a friend who's also a photographer would be a good thing right? Alas, poor Emma and Deb, I've inevitably got my camera with me when we all hang out but the pictures of their super cute kids are held hostage on the memory cards until I'm all caught up with wedding season.
Last week we lost power and internet for a night but thanks to the 3 hour Mac laptop battery I managed to get a little caught up with pictures and thought I'd share with you. First some snapshots of Emma (and Mitch's) twins - seriously, how cute are they?
And then Deb (and Mark's) baby girl - I met Deb at the beach the day after I picked up the rather delicious 105mm f/2.8 Macro lens and so there were a lot of close ups :) - I'm wondering what kind of industrial strength eye-drops I'd need to get amazing sparkly eyes like Samantha:
And don't get me started on the pictures I still have to work on of my amazing Goddaughter....we went to see the Lion King yesterday, at just two and a half years old, she did incredibly well to sit quietly in the theatre. Except for when Mufasa dies - he's lying on the floor with the lionesses crying over his dead body - and this little voice rings out "Ohhh, does the daddy lion have a boo boo?"

That's limitation of JSF 1.2. The issue is resolved in JSF 2.0.
2. Re: bean validationalexsmirnov Jul 17, 2009 4:04 PM (in response to trevor.flanagan)
Do you create component instance in the binding by 'new' call ?
Standard JSF input components do not call validation methods for an empty values. That behavior was changed for JSF 2.0 but RichFaces also redefines some UIInput based components that calls bean validator for all even null or empty values. The component type is same but classes are different.
I suggest to change your code from 'new' to Application.createComponent calls.

Amazon Prime, Teenage Shows, and Rat Stuff
Saturday we decided to sign up for Amazon Prime since it was on sale for $72. I like their Prime Music, and maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to find a decent book through their Kindle Lending Library since you're entitled to one free title per month with the membership.
We'll be evaluating their Prime streaming service as well, even though it's not compatible with our Chromecast which rather sucks. We just want to see if it's better than Hulu or not since we've already decided to keep Netflix since it's so awesome. Seriously, I watch something on it every single day. My current obsession is The Carrie Diaries which is the prequel to Sex & The City. I'm not exactly sure what it says about me as a person that I like shows aimed at teenagers, though (like Awkward which I just love).
I hope having the Prime membership won't encourage us to buy stuff we don't need. It has already come in handy, however. I ordered these straw brushes so I can clean the straws I use with my reusable tumblers.
Last week we had also placed an order through Amazon for a couple of things – a bluetooth speaker for Joe's car so he can safely have work-related conversations while driving, Cards Against Humanity, which I can't wait to take over to my parents' house and play, and some items for the rats. I wanted them all to have a space pod and hammock in their cages, so I ordered one of each since I only had two of each currently. I was very excited when the package was delivered by the post office, surprisingly, on a Sunday afternoon.
I ended up rotating the hammocks since the one I ordered is so large and only fits in the big cage. I don't think Milo and Gizmo like it, though, because I haven't seen them use it once. Maybe it's because it's not nice and colorful like the one on Amazon's site, but a bland grey and black instead. Doug and Steve, however, love cramming their fat butts into their new space pod. They also have Milo & Gizmo's old hammock since I gave their hammock to Marshmallow, which he loves. So at least 3 out of the 5 rats are happy! I'm gonna be bummed if Milo and Gizmo end up not using the new hammock, though. Plus I'll have to head to Petco to get them another one like they used to have because I like to spoil my little ratty babies. :)

[dropcap]I[/dropcap]t was a late night, browsing the internet when I should have been setting the alarm, that I saw that La Boheme was on at the Royal Albert Hall. Robin said we should go and see it- by the time my head hit the pillow, I had two tickets to the Opera! I had never been to an opera before, this date was circled in red in my diary as I counted down the days.
We were the first ones in our little box- like many of the clientele (it was an afternoon matinee after all) I had a packet of sweets in my bag and an extra scarf in case I got cold. Time to get comfy for the next 2 hours!
This version of La Boheme was sung in Italian, but there were small screens around the Hall with English subtitles so you could follow the story. It's also now set in 1940's Paris, just after the Second World War. The 40s is one of my favourite time periods, and the costumes for this production were breath taking. The storyline revolves around Rodolfo, a poet, and his love interest Mimi, a seamstress, that lives downstairs from him and his fellow bohemian pals, Marcello and Schaunard. She comes into their home one night, asking for a light for her candle- Rudolfo lights her candle and not just figuratively- they fall in love. However, there's a setback- Mimi is suffering from tuberculosis.
If this storyline sounds familiar, it is! Rent was based on La Boheme, so you might already guess what's in store…
My favourite scene was when Momus, the artist's hangout, was brought to life on stage. Roller skating waiters, damsels dancing with sailors and soldiers, a Strong Man and a Marching Band all helped bring this act to life. I didn't know where to look, I wanted to watch the main characters but couldn't tear my eyes away from the performers. I watched an American soldier and his girlfriend dance around the rail road tracks when I should have been watching Rudolfo and Mimi. When one of the characters, Musetta, gets up onto a table to sing and tease the crowd, she had all the eyes of the audience on her too. The whole set design was impressive- I loved the snow that fell on Mimi and Marcello at the rail station in Act 3.
I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, but I really do recommend seeing it! The stage is in the middle of the Royal Albert Hall so it doesn't matter where you sit- you all get a good vantage point. Tickets are still on sale here and it ends it's run on the 9th March.
