Happy Monday, blogosphere!
Welp! Here's my first fashion post of the year! Yesterday, finally felt like winter…25 degrees and a sprinkle of snow on the ground. In the south, a sprinkle of snow and freezing temps are a big deal. I finally pulled out my winter coat. I chose to mix a few prints and textures for winter, church ensemble. I got my dress for $7.
The fun thing about textured clothes is that some of them have their own unique design which is why I really like my coat. Literally everything about my ensemble is either textured or printed from my hair down to my booties.
Outfit details: Dress (Rainbow), coat (JC Penney), tights (Wal-Mart), booties (Shoe Carnival), necklace (Cato), clutch (Burkes Outlet), cuff bracelet (random beauty supply store), and my ring/earrings (my sister's room ).
Thanks for reading! Talk to you soon!

San Francisco's School Board – heavy with officials eager to preserve traditional teaching models – is watching anxiously as education reformer Marshall Tuck threatens to unseat State Superintendent Tom Torlakson in today's election for the state's top education job.
The battle for the Superintendent of Public Instruction has emerged as a political tug-of-war between the teachers' union and charter advocates in California. An Oct. 30 Field Poll showed candidates tied with 28 percent of the vote each, but with 40 percent of voters still undecided.
Tuck has served as a traditional public school teacher, but also led a group of charter schools in Los Angeles. An outspoken charter advocate, he supports freedom to implement experimental curriculum in public schools.
Tuck favors a concept called blending learning, in which students learn some of the curriculum directly from online material with the support of teachers and teaching aides. Tuck says he saw benefits of blended learning during his tenure at Green Dot charter schools. His campaign platform, "Marshall's Plan," includes a section dedicated to technology in the classroom.
"I saw firsthand how teachers excelled when they had access to exciting new tools to improve their teaching," he writes in his plan. "By supplementing traditional teaching with high-quality educational software, teachers were able to offer curriculum and instruction tailored to each student."
San Francisco's school board members remain skeptical about such experimental learning platforms.
Rachel Norton, vice president of San Francisco's Board of Education, says that on the whole, "less systemic" teaching structures have not been any more successful than traditional models and said blended learning would lead to higher student-to-teacher ratios.
Jill Wynns, who has served on San Francisco's Board since 1992, worries blended learning advocates see online curriculum as a substitute for traditional teaching instruction. She believes students' direct interaction with teachers is fundamental to learning.
"All the high-tech people – they actually believe that everything in the world can be…more effective if we just learn how to do it in a more technological [way]," Wynns said in an interview. "But it's proving…to be a little more difficult in the education area because of that human interaction. How do you learn?"
Dan Schwartz, a professor in the Department of Education at Stanford University, specializes in the use of technology in learning. He says technology is often misused as a status symbol, rather than as an instructional tool and that technology could never fully supplant traditional teachers.
"The blended learning part…it's not going to do the emotional social development that's so important," Schwartz said.
While Tuck supports investment in infrastructure and software necessary to implement blended learning, Wynns takes issue with using public school resources to fund experimental learning platforms.
"If we get Tuck as [Superintendent]," she says. "It will be a big win for those intent on destroying the public school system."
Charlie Buffalino, manger of growth and policy at Rocketship Education, a San Jose-based charter that uses a blended learning model, said using an online curriculum enables the school to pay teachers 20 to 30 percent more. Software helps teachers evaluate students' command of material.
"Computers replacing teachers? That's outrageous. We arm teachers with technology…to augment their work," he said.

The camellia growing season is in the spring/early summer. After they produce their new growth, they do not grow any more. So, if you were expecting the camellia bush to stay in active growth all summer but it didn't, there is no need for concern – this is normal.
Newly planted shrubs always experience stress their first summer in the ground. This stress associated with establishment often leads to yellowing and dropping of some of the leaves.
You may send me some pictures and I'll be happy to take a look.

Here are some pictures I took. The first one is after I bought it in the spring. What disturbs me is that I see no new growth. I hope that it's only the adjustment to a new location and planting.
Thanks for your help, Steve R.
Sorry, but I don't see much hope for your camellia – it is pretty far gone. Sometimes plants we plant do not establish properly, fail to thrive and end up not making it. That seems to be the case for your camellia.
There is generally no easy answer in these situations. No one definite thing that can be pointed to as the cause for the camellia doing so poorly. Camellias prefer some shade, and a spot that gets sun most of the day is stressful to them. Care the summer after planting, particularly proper watering, plays a big role in how a plant does. Watering too much or too little can cause a plant to do poorly. The amount of rain that occurs is a factor. Temperature, such as the exceptionally hot weather we had in July, can be a factor.
This was not a situation where an insect or disease attacked the leaves or branches. It is possible if the camellia stayed too wet at some point (due to rain or generous irrigation or both) that root rot disease may have attacked the roots. Root problems are a common reason plants fail to properly establish.
There's nothing dramatic you can do to help it. It is barely alive, but may recover some over the winter. Next spring, if you see it sending out new growth give it a light fertilizer application using an acid loving plant fertilizer.

A delegation of Russian officials is on the way to Afghanistan to establish ties with leaders of the Northern Alliance.
Senior Russian diplomats say 17 officials from the foreign, defense and other ministries will hold talks with the Northern Alliance in Kabul, which the Alliance now controls.
They say it is the first step toward resuming a permanent Russian presence in Afghanistan.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Losyukov says it is necessary to work with the Alliance to discuss a United Nations' plan to form a new, broad-based government.
Moscow ruled out any role for the Russian military in Afghanistan, but has supported the U-S-led military campaign to oust the Taleban and destroy Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida terrorist network.

Like many of you reading this article, growing up was a big challenge for me. Not every hard time had to do with me being gay because I really had no idea what that even meant. It was more about realizing I was different from the other boys and having to deal with not fitting into that perfect boy box of masculinity. I was very quiet, shy and gravitated more towards things that my sisters were into. As a little guy, my older sister, Jackie did a lot of the talking for me. We are 11 months apart and share the same age for almost a week. I was born premature, which made us not only "Irish Twins," but also instant best friends straight from gate. Jackie looked like Shirley Temple, with big curly hair and the cutest personality to go with it. If you look at our picture from when we were both young, you would think that we were actual twins. We loved playing together, Barbies were our favorite and every once in awhile we would let our other sister, Amy play with us, but she would have to first put money into a piggy bank that we left outside the bedroom door. It was sort of her entry fee. My little brother was too young and certainly had no interest in taking part in our "New Kids On The Block" dolls meets "Barbie And The Rockers" extravaganza. Our playtime would come to a quick end when we would hear the sound of the garage door go up because we knew that meant our dad was home from work. My sisters and I made a pact to never tell our dad I was playing with Barbies. That was just not what boys did back in the day.
The older I grew up, I tried to come into my own but had the challenge of being picked on because I still continued to be really scrawny and soft spoken. Going to school was often a nightmare because I would be teased for "sounding like a girl," "talking like a girl," and "running like a girl." So, I decided to stay quiet and pray that my voice would deepen. I can't tell you how many times someone would call the house and I would pick up the phone with an immediate response of, "Hello, Mrs. Jacobi?" I hated the sound of my voice and could not blame anyone because it truly was sky high and there was nothing I could do about it. My sister, Jackie always had my back though and has continued to be a great support in my life.
Recently, when my fiancé, Nick and I picked a wedding date and started to iron out all the details, one of my first tasks was asking Jackie to be my "Best Woman." Maid of Honor just did not seem like the right title for her, and we have certainly made it a point to shake up the traditional parts of our upcoming celebration.
It is so wild to me how life comes full circle and that even the darkest of times start to turn into lessons learned or bleeps on our own individual radars. New memories start to take shape, and consistent moments of happiness turn into your reality, validating thoughts that life is indeed so very good. But most importantly, that with the right support, self-confidence and family connection – you can make even your biggest dreams come true.
Last weekend, my mom, two sisters, Nick and I went shopping together. This was not your average shopping trip. We carved out a day where Nick and I could help my two sisters pick out dresses that they could wear to our wedding since both of them will be standing up during the ceremony. The shy, scrawny, high-pitched voice, Barbie-playing boy that is at the core of my soul was smiling proud that day.
It took a lot of self-growth to get here and many obstacles to overcome, but it is the person that I am today and the people that have been with me along the way, which is most significant. I could not be more grateful for my two loving parents and my three siblings. I wish all the younger boys in the world reading this article understands that being different is not a bad thing, and that one day life will be filled with countless days of joy where they can be who they are and love who they want.
With Love,
Matt Jacobi

There is no doubt that wireless is the future growth area for communications, and most of it will be IP traffic. Global IP traffic is soaring, with Cisco predicting that traffic will increase threefold over the next five years. Due to the rapid growth of mobile devices, which include smartphones and the Internet of Things (IoT), two-thirds of this traffic will be wireless by 2020.
To meet this growing bandwidth demand, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is auctioning spectrum, and service providers are building new cell sites to implement 4G and, soon, 5G technology. These technologies provide higher bandwidth than older technologies, but throughput is distance sensitive. The closer to the antenna site, the higher the bandwidth. Smaller cells use less power, reducing interference from other sites and allowing the carriers to reuse spectrum in congested areas. Build more cell sites, and the bandwidth problem is solved! Sort of.
With this rapid growth comes a certain irony. The more we embrace wireless, the more wired we become. It is really a profound statement, and its meaning is far reaching. Connecting a smart device to the antenna at a cell site solves only part of the problem. You need to provide backhaul capacity to connect with the network. More spectrum and antennas will not solve the problem if you don't have the corresponding backhaul network. As we embrace a more disconnected world through wireless devices, we become more dependent on the connected wired technology—in many cases, fiber. Unfortunately, many existing and new cell sites do not have fiber connectivity. Prior to 4G, copper was a major transport medium for backhaul. When traffic was predominantly voice, copper was adequate to satisfy demand. With the shift to IP traffic and the explosion of video and data, fiber backhaul is a natural replacement for copper.
The challenge for many wireless service providers is daunting. With the largest carriers providing countrywide coverage, they need fiber access to tens of thousands of sites, and they need it fast. Many are issuing RFPs to local service providers for the fiber backhaul connections. Responding to RFPs with cost estimates for hundreds or thousands of sites can be expensive and time-consuming unless they harness The Science of Where.
On the surface, the problem is a simple geographic question: How do you connect two locations, a mobile site and a network access point? We can apply The Science of Where to plan a fiber route. Think of a similar problem you might face in your daily life: determining a route from your house to a new restaurant. You probably have an app on your phone that can show you a route—you input the two addresses, and, with an understanding of the road network connecting the two locations, you are provided with a recommendation. Similarly, GIS technology, which also leverages The Science of Where, can propose a fiber backhaul route from the cell site to the network. As you have most likely learned through experience when solving the driving problem, it can be much more complex than initially thought. Do you want to go the fastest or shortest route? Should you take the highway or back roads? What if there is traffic congestion? The same applies to backhaul. Are you planning a single point-to-point route or leveraging an existing fiber cable to connect multiple sites?
Traditionally the first step in the backhaul analysis required an expensive and time-consuming field trip to select a suitable route. This manual process is cost prohibitive when evaluating more than a couple of sites, especially since you aren't guaranteed that you will win the bid. Analyzing routes by using maps and aerial imagery will save time and money. Once again, this will work for a few routes, but for more complex analysis, automating processes with repeatable models will reduce time and cost. GIS can easily handle complex analytics that require evaluating a large number of sites or performing many repetitive calculations. The tool that automates these complex analytics, ModelBuilder, is an application that models workflows by stringing together sequences of geoprocessing tools.
In many cases, the data required for this type of analysis—such as network access points, cell site location, and terrain maps—is readily available. Using GIS modeling technology, the manual process can be replaced with an automated model that plans and provides cost estimates for fiber backhaul routes for hundreds of sites in less than an hour of run time. An added benefit is that the model can be modified to select routes that not only satisfy the basic backhaul requirements but also take into consideration incremental business revenue opportunities. Giving consideration to alternative routes will leverage the backhaul fiber investment to deliver new business services, revenue growth, and improved return on investment (ROI).
The Esri ArcGIS platform leverages The Science of Where. It is ideal for planning and cost estimating backhaul routes quickly and accurately, but it can also be applied to any type of network technology. To maximize ROI, today's telecommunications engineers need to consider all available network technologies. This includes cellular, Wi-Fi, fiber, coax, and even traditional copper. The ArcGIS platform is technology agnostic. It can even plan the optimal route for you to get home from that new restaurant you are planning to try.

West Ham Women manager Beard is facing selection headache for Bristol trip
PUBLISHED: 12:30 13 December 2019
West Ham Women's manager Matt Beard is facing a selection headache for his side's trip to Bristol City in the Super League, writes Jacob Ranson.
For the first time since the former Liverpool manager's arrival a year-and-a-half ago he has a fully-fit squad to select from and he knows that he will have to make some tough decisions.
They head to the Stoke Gifford Stadium on Sunday for their final fixture of the 2019 calendar looking to go into the festive period on a high note.
"It's interesting, a month ago we had 12 fit players, tonight we had a full bench for the first time in my year and a half at the football club," said Beard after Wednesday's 7-0 win over Crystal Palace.
"This weekend I'm probably going to be leaving people at home because we're going to have a full squad to select from.
You may also want to watch:
"We've signed 11 players in two transfer windows and it takes time. We're still a new team, we're only halfway through our second season and sometimes people get carried away saying 'you have a lot of players coming in'."
One player who could have forced her way into the team is Canadian attacker Adriana Leon after impressing in the last two fixtures.
"I thought Adriana Leon was excellent tonight and against Liverpool on Sunday, she's responded really well to not playing, so for once I've got a selection problem with some tough decisions to make," added Beard.
"We knew the team we're building that we can compete with anyone on our day.
"We've got to win on Sunday, it's an important game for us, we then have a welcome break for Christmas which is good for the players to see their families."
Beard says players will now have to step up and compete for their places if he can keep everyone fit, adding: "The biggest issue for me over the first part of the season was the inconsistent team selection. When you've got so many new players and you're trying to get it to gel and there are constant changes sometimes it does break down.
"For me it's now about keeping everyone fit and now we have a full squad to choose from no one is guaranteed to play. That's a great thing for me as players have to stay on their toes, perform in training, and perform in games."

Posted by Melissa Yim, Heather Shaw, and De' Shonda Burton on January 31, 2020.
It's January, and we're starting another year in a brand new decade. Like many of you, I've made some personal resolutions, but I also like to include professional resolutions. A few years ago, I resolved to use internal communications as a way of creating meaningful connections between employees and the organization. I didn't know how to begin, so I ended up abandoning the goal and becoming one of the millions of people who give up on their New Year's resolutions. That did not sit well with me, so I took some time to determine what went wrong. I quickly realized my original goal had been too broad, and if I wanted to be successful with my communications resolution, I needed to simplify my approach. My solution? Ask these simple questions.
- Does your communication tell a story?
Take a minute and think about a recent article or story you enjoyed. Now, consider the reasons you liked it. What stood out? What made it memorable? How did it make you feel? Was it the clear story line that connected to you? Did the story include a specific call to action that prompted you to do something?
You enjoyed the story and kept reading—it was interesting and captured your attention. Employees read and consume company communications in the same way . . . they read, watch, or listen to content that interests and connects with them. As communicators, it's up to us to develop communications that resonate with employees, telling stories that draw them in and leave them eager to learn more.
- Does your communication align with the company story?
Part of connecting the dots is ensuring your story aligns with your company's story. The mission, vision, and values of an organization are usually high-level goals that employees don't always connect to the company's activities. By creating communications experiences that repeatedly tie news and activities to the mission, vision, and values, you are helping employees understand the bigger picture, showing the company doesn't just talk the talk, but also walks the walk.
But tying your message to the company mission, vision, and values isn't enough. You should consider every communication as an opportunity to deepen the connection between your organization and employees, which brings us to the final question.
- Does your communication provide employees with a new or renewed connection to the organization?
With employee affinity top of mind for many companies, communicators are often tasked with finding new ways to engage with employees. A lot of communications teams take a marketing approach and view their employees as customers, but that may not always be the most effective approach. Customers can come and go, but employees tend to develop emotional connections to their employers. To increase affinity, communications can deepen this connection through a holistic communications approach. But how do you elevate your communications to that level?
Understand your audience. Every day, employees come to work and perform specific tasks. They don't always know how their work helps the company, but they want to know that it matters. Use your communications as opportunities to paint this picture for them, tying their contributions to the company's goals. When you do this, you help build pride in the company, giving employees a sense of ownership in the success and letting them know that the company story is their story.
Bonus question: Does your communication promote two-way communication?
According to Deloitte's 2019 Global Human Capital Trends Report, 60 percent of organizations were worried about their employees' perception of transparency. One way to help bridge the gap is by opening the gates to two-way communication: carefully analyze audiences to better address their needs and what is important to them. By doing this, an organization shows commitment and dedication in understanding employees and then tailors its communication strategy accordingly. If an organization is willing to provide exactly what employees need, they begin to build the open, honest, and transparent relationships necessary for effective engagement and two-way conversation.
As communicators, we push information, but to create truly remarkable communications, we also need to pull information. By leveraging channels and providing opportunities for employees to engage with the content and each other, you are giving them different ways to connect with each other and giving yourself much-needed information in (near) real-time. From receiving story ideas to gleaning employee opinions, two-way communications is a powerful way to deliver content that matters, further showing employees that you're not just pushing out information, but listening to them and adjusting to their needs.
So make a resolution to enhance your communications. If you keep these questions top of mind each time you communicate, you'll be able to improve your communications, better connect with your audience, and keep your resolution throughout the year.

Fertility is the natural capability to produce offspring. As a measure, fertility rate is the number of offspring born per mating pair, individual or population. Fertility differs from fecundity, which is defined as the potential for reproduction (influenced by gamete production, fertilization and carrying a pregnancy to term). A lack of fertility is infertility while a lack of fecundity would be called sterility.
Human fertility depends on factors of nutrition, sexual behavior, consanguinity, culture, instinct, endocrinology, timing, economics, way of life, and emotions.
Age they say is a thing of the mind. But in reality, age is defined by wikipedia as the length of time an organism has lived. Aging therefore is a multidimensional process of physical, psychological, and social changes that take place in human which ultimately may redefine the functionality of human organism.
On the other hand, fertility could be referred to as the normal or natural capability of giving life, put differently, fertility could be said to be the ability to conceive and have children, the ability to become pregnant through normal and natural means.
However, it has been observed and scientifically proven that the chances of couples bearing children reduce as they advance in age.
It has been acknowledged that fertility declines as we age, but with all the reports of couples becoming parents after age of 40, the full impact of age on fertility may not be really appreciated.
According to medical research both woman and man experience decline in fertility as their age progress. For instance, the ability and possibility of a couple whose age have advance to say 35 for the woman and 40 for the man to have children through the normal and natural conception after intercourse declines. The cycle goes on and on even as they advance to 50 years and above. At this stage if becomes very glaring and obvious that natural conception is almost impossible and by implication a serious case of infertility has really set in.
In most cases, we see the age of the woman as the most important fertility reducing factor that must be dealt with. This can often make it quiet difficult to determine the root cause of infertility. This is because age is one factor that usually comes to mind when a couple faces pregnancy difficulties. It means that age actually plays a significant role in determining female fertility.
The truth is that, as a woman progresses in age, the number of active or viable eggs in her ovary reduces significantly, her menstrual cycles becomes irregular and shorter as she nears menopause, the endometrium may become thinner and less accommodating to fertilized eggs, vaginal secretions can become less fluid and more hostile to sperm and so on. All these factors help to further compound the woman's fertility dilemma occasioned by age.
One may ask. "Is this the end of the road for the couple in terms of child bearing"? The answer is capital "NO".
Thanks to the breakthroughs in the field of human medicine, particularly the discovery of In vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment, which has made it possible for couples with fertility challenges to achieve conception. Suffice it to say that the IVF treatment has put smiles on the lips of several older couples as they could as well have their own children, a feat which was hitherto impossible. Interestingly, since the advent of the IVF more and more couples with fertility challenges including women who are well over 70 years old have benefited from the treatment all over the world including Nigeria.
Cheering as the IVF option for overcoming fertility challenges may seem, it is very important that couples start early enough to have children instead of delaying for one reason or the other as age may later pose a serious threat to their fertility status.

Being in the presence of very powerful Entities will always have an effect on the physical body in one way or another, it does not matter if it is Angel or Daimon. In this writing I wish to share with you some of my own experiences, when being in the presence of these mighty spiritual beings. Some people in the fields of the esoteric, magickal community will say that these Entities are part of the mind or subconscious. From my own personal experience, and I realize everyone`s experience is different, they are beings separate from us and independent. With sometimes their own agendas, however they can influence the mind in a big way if they so wish to do so.
I remember about three years ago, I found myself in the presence of two Angels that had manifested in a room in my house. They where very tall beings and a little intimidating, only due to their size and build, which was very solid. They had what looked like some kind of armor on and one of them had a sword in their hands. They both had very red fiery eyes, is the best I can describe it and nether of them had wings, which is common in many artists pictures of Angels. These Angels where very serious Angels with serious expressions on their faces, as most Angels are that I have come in contact with.
I remember starting to get a serious headache and also a blood nose while in their presence, they spoke to me through my mind using telepathy. They told me that they would not come any closer to me, due to the effect it would have on my body. The results of this was already taking an effect just being in the same room as them. After the Angels left, my headache started to subside, however my nose bleed continued on and off through out the rest of the day. These Angels where not intending to do me any harm, it was just my bodies reaction to their strong energies, having been directly in their presence.
There have been many other times in my life that these experiences and many other different ones have taken place. However, now I will jump to some more recent experiences in which my body has taken a toll due to the physical manifestation of the Entities.
The reason I share these experiences is because the spirits working with me have asked me to do it as others may also have gone through experiences like this or something very similar. Sometimes when I hear people in the "New Age" talk about working with Angels I have to wonder. Not that I am judging someone else`s experience, don`t get me wrong. But I wonder if what they are witnessing is a thought form they have created, of what they believe the Angel to look like in their mind. Thought forms can still be very powerful and in fact I often use created thought forms myself to do different tasks. The reason I say this is because every experience I have had with these spiritual beings have been very intense.
Even just a week ago, I was performing an initiation ceremony in my home to become initiated into the current and tradition of Masseen Wytchcrafte. This ceremony involved more than one invocation of different spiritual beings relating to that spiritual current, I had to call on them by name. Though the ceremony did not call for this, I decided to make sigils for each of these spiritual beings. As this ceremony was all about initiation, there was a part in which I was to be put under a test by these Entities in which I had hopefully invoked. The whole initiation ceremony was a success. When I reached the part of the ceremony where I was to be tested, suddenly a black figure moved through the wall in my room. It was one of the blackest figures I have ever seen before, only the outside shape of the figure could be seen as everything inside of this shape was just blackness. It moved so fast and seemed like it was wearing a hooded cape of some kind, much like my own hooded cape. Then one of my main red pillar candles went out and that seemed to be it, no knocks on walls, no scratching sounds, voices or changes in temperatures or smells, things like this. So after a little bit more time of completing the ceremony and meditation, I closed down the ritual in the usual way. I thought the test was over and that was all there was to the initiation, I was wrong. Over the next few days, I experienced a deep sense of dread and depression that was lifted not long after this. I know this was also part of the initiation as after this I was told by some spirits around me that this was the case. Not only this but I did a Tarot reading for myself which brought up the Tower card along with other cards also relating to this. Also, not only this but the Tower card has a connection with the zodiac sign of Scorpio, which is my own sign.
I have now learnt that if someone has things deep down inside their subconscious that they do not wish to deal with. Well it will come up to the surface, as these spiritual beings will show you these things so that you can deal with it. Sometimes it can be very nasty, but it is all part of the process of initiation. They are not trying to punish you, but to make you stronger when you end up getting through it, and this could take sometime. They will not put you through something you are unable to work through or find a way through, even though it may seem that there is no way through it. They may push you to the point or edge, but they are your best teachers, no matter how brutal it may seem at the time.
As part of this initiation ceremony, I had to go through it unprotected, trusting solely on the spiritual beings of the spiritual current I was getting initiated into.
I hope those who read this blog find it interesting and maybe able to relate to it themselves in some way. Please feel free to leave me any questions in relation to this writing and I will answer it the best I can.

Audi E-Tron EV gets side cameras instead of mirrors for aerodynamics
31 May 2018 - autoblog
A production first — shiny glass is so 20th century
It's finally happening. After decades of cameras replacing boring old side mirrors on concept cars, Audi will bring the feature into production on the Audi E-Tron electric crossover SUV. They're shown on the prototype above. The optional cameras are mounted to little winglets where the standard side mirrors would have been. As for where you see the cameras' views, there will be an additional screen in the area to the left of the instrument cluster for at least the left camera. Audi wasn't totally clear about the screen for the right-hand camera.
While it is cool to see a long-teased feature actually reach production, we're not entirely sure the feature is going to be that great to use. We've found the rear-view screen mirrors from Cadillac and later Nissan require some adjustment to get used to, at minimum, since the screens show a fixed angle, and they don't provide any depth perception.
Audi does say the cameras improve drag, though, which can be very important for cars. Audi says every .01 coefficient of drag reduces range by about 5 kilometers. The company revealed that the E-Tron has a Cd of 0.28. For comparison, the Kia Niro has a drag coefficient of 0.29. Audi made additional tweaks beyond the mirrors for aero, though. They include the various grille shutters, standard adaptive air suspension to lower the car as needed, and even tires that have numbers and logos etched into the rubber instead of raised.
And just in case you forgot, Audi is estimating the E-Tron will go 248 miles on a charge baseed on the WLTP test cycle (expect EPA testing to differ). It goes on sale in Europe by the end of the year, with U.S. sales expected sometime later. While U.S. availability wasn't specifically mentioned by Audi, it's possible they could become available. According to Automotive News, the U.S. was expected to adopt vehicle regulations regarding side mirrors and cameras this year that would be similar to those in Europe that will allow the Audi to have them over there.

Matt Hicks, Staff Writer
When writing DFS fantasy football articles, we use DraftKings' values. For the wild card round of the playoffs, I set 9 line-ups.
Best Value: Alex Smith ($6,300)
Smith is the QB4 on the season, but is priced as the 4th highest this week; Cam Newton is the only quarterback playing this week that had more fantasy points this week. In Weeks 15-16, Smith threw 48-78 (61%) for 535 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions. Smith has only thrown 2 interceptions total since Week 12. Don't forget that Smith is playing a Titans team that limped into the playoffs and allowed 4 passing touchdowns to Goff in Week 16. I have Smith in 4 line-ups this week.
High Upside: Tyrod Taylor ($4,700)
Tyrod makes an excellent tournament play this week, at just $4,700 he's the cheapest quarterback on the week. He may be playing the Jaguar but since Week 15, he's thrown for 709 yards, rushed for 93 yards, has 3 total touchdowns, and 0 interceptions. Tyrod, in fact, has only thrown 4 interceptions all season. He's leading a team with huge momentum, and if McCoy sits Tyrod will get more scoring opportunities. I have Tyrod in 2 tournament line-ups.
Safe Play: Jared Goff ($6,700)
Goff is the most expensive quarterback option this week for a reason. Since Week 12, he's thrown for 239 yards, 2.4 touchdowns, and .6 interceptions a game. The Rams are likely to engage in a shootout and if Goff looks anything like he did in Week 16, he's going to be a difference maker. In head to head or double up games, you should feel good playing Goff. I have him in 2 line-ups this week.
Worst Value: Drew Brees ($6,400)
Brees is the third most expensive quarterback this week. Contrary to popular belief, Brees has little upside. He's thrown for more than 300 yards just 3 times this season, and hasn't done so since Week 11. He has just 1 game with more than 2 touchdowns this season, and has thrown for just one touchdown in his last two games, and in 4 of his last 6 games. Kamara and Ingram are nabbing all the touchdowns, leaving Brees as a trap for fantasy players living in the past. I have 0 shares of Brees this week.
Running Backs
Best Value: Leonard Fournette ($7,400)
I'm all in on Fournette this week; he's the 4th highest priced running back but is playing the defense that's allowed the most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season. The Bills have allowed 112 rushing yards, 41 receiving yards, and 1.2 touchdowns per game to opposing running backs this season. Fournette is RB8 on the season, despite missing 3 games. Fournette is a high volume back, and that can expand greatly if the Jaguars jump to an early lead against the underdog Bills. I have Fournette in 8 of my 9 line-ups this week.
High Upside: Derrick Henry ($6,000)
Henry has great value this week. The reason he's cheap is because he averaged just 1.8 yards/carry in Week 17. Henry, however, was facing the toughest run defense in the league (Jacksonville) and got 28 carries. Henry also broke off yet another huge play; a 66-yard receiving touchdown; which gave him 117 total yards. There's no real value cheaper than Henry, so if you're looking to save money at this position, he's your choice. I have 3 shares of Henry this week.
Safe Play: Todd Gurley II ($9,700)
I get it, Henry costs a lot of money. I also don't care; he's too good to not play. In his last three games, Gurley has 366 rushing yards, 225 receiving yards, and 5 touchdowns on 56 carries and 16 targets. I don't feel it necessary to expand more on why you should play the should-be MVP, there are enough cheap, upside plays to offset Gurley this week. I managed to work Gurley into 8 of my line-ups; this man is worth paying up for.
Worst Value: Mark Ingram ($6,900)
Ingram is very touchdown dependent, and there are a lot of other weapons that can take those touchdowns from him. Since Week 14, Ingram is averaging just 50 rushing yards, and 40 receiving yards per game. I'm willing to pay-up for running backs this week, but if you're going to pass on Gurley, Kamara, Hunt, and Fournette; you should bypass Ingram at $6,900 and drop right to Freeman at $6,300.
Wide Receivers
Best Value: Albert Wilson ($3,300)
At $3,300 Wilson is an absolute steal. He has 19 targets over the last 2 weeks, and has caught 13 of those (68%). In those games, Wilson has 183 yards; making him the clear WR2 for the Chiefs. This week, I suggest saving money at the wide receiver position, in order to pay-up for running backs Wilson is the best way to do this; I have him in 5 line-ups this week.
High Upside: Brenton Bersin ($3,000)
If you've never heard of Bersin, don't worry; you're in the majority. Bersin has emerged as the WR2 in Carolina with Byrd falling to injury and Shepard being phased out. Bersin has caught 5 of his 8 targets since week 16, and is averaging 40 yards a game. That alone makes him worth the minimum cost, but if he gets a touchdown in what could be a high scoring game, he's a huge upside play in tournaments. I have Bersin in 4 line-ups.
Safe Play: Tyreek Hill ($6,800)
If you're going to pay up at wideout, I wouldn't go much past Hill. He's got a safe floor; with at least 75 yards in each of his last 4 games. Hill also has 3 touchdowns and 2 games over 100 yards in that span, including a 185-yard game in Week 13 against the Jets. With a week off and a beat-up opponent, Hill has the chance to be a difference maker in your line-up this week. Even though I'm not really paying up for wide receivers this week, I snuck Hill into 3 line-ups.
Worst Value: Michael Thomas ($7,800)
Thomas is the second most expensive wideout this week, just $200 cheaper than Julio. Thomas hasn't seen the end zone since Week 15. Thomas also has no eclipsed 100 yards since Week 14. There are too many other options in the New Orleans offense to pay-up for Thomas this week. I bought zero shares.
Tight Ends
Best Value: Charles Clay ($4,000)
The tight end position is tough this week, but Clay makes for a solid cheap play. Clay has at least 8 targets in his last three games. Clay has translated those targets into 56 yards/game. With Shady potentially out this week, Clay becomes a much more relevant red zone target for Tyrod. I have 6 shares of Clay this week, which is risky but if he connects with Tyrod for one score, it'll pay off big.
High Upside: Austin Hooper ($2,700)
Listen, I get it; you don't want to play Hooper and frankly neither do I. Hooper, however, is cheap and he has at least 2 targets in every game since Week 8, and has 3 targets in both of his last two games. At such a cheap price, it's worth playing Hooper; if Ryan finds him in the end zone just once, he'll pay off big time. I have 2 shares of Hooper this week.
Safe Play: Travis Kelce ($7,100)
In his last 4 games played, Kelce has 35 targets, 261 yards, and 3 touchdowns. This makes Kelce awfully tempting, however, he's $2,100 more than the next most expensive tight end. In a week where I'm suggesting you pay up at running back, there's not much money left to drop it on the top tight end. I did manage to squeeze Kelce into one line-up, though, because I expect him to connect with Smith for at least one touchdown this week.
Worst Value: Greg Olsen ($5,000)
Greg. Olsen. Is. Not. A. Good. Fantasy. Option. This. Season. I say it every week but he's not smart play. Since coming back from injury, he's totaled more than 27 receiving yards just once and has caught just 48% of his passes. In Week 17, Olsen caught just 1 of his 9 targets. Unless you feel like throwing away money this week, avoid Olsen.

So I visited a big-ish grocery store today, and they had one of those annoying display boxes full og HWs. I tear through it and find nothing. I move along, get my stuff, and I'm about to head out when I see the box again. It was at the corner of an isle with the back blocked off, but I could see just enough to see there was another side full of more HWs. I dig through, and near the bottom i find this. A $TH I've already had for a long time. This is still good, though. This means I have leaverage.
So this guy's up for grabs. I'll only trade if for another $uper (unless you have something else just as good). Specifically, I always wanted the $upers of the Porsche 993 GT2, Porsche 934.5, '17 Ford GT, the 2011 Indy Car, or the Skyline H/T 2000 GTR. If by some chance some of you are able to get the upcoming Aventador and RS6 Avant $upers, I'm willing to wait for those. Though if you have anything else I'm always open.

For what reason do chameleons change their skin shading?
Not to mix into their experience, never have, never will. They change their shading relying upon various enthusiastic states, they change frequently, as it's no big surprise that in the end they will coordinate their experiences, yet just until the following change.
They change shading when alarmed, when mating, when battling another chameleon and so on. A chameleon would have little use for mixing in, their principle prey, bugs, have a tendency to have vision unfit to spot them when they are still in any case, and being a peak predator, chameleons don't have a tendency to have any regular predators.
Henry VIII
What number of spouses did Henry VIII have?
Two, not six. Henry's fourth marriage to Anne was canceled, as the marriage was never culminated, at the end of the day it was seen to that the marriage actually never occurred, additionally Anne happened to be pledged to Francis, Duke of Lorraine. At the time 'assurance to be wedded' would ban the person from marriage. With the goal that leaves 5 spouses.
Henry's second marriage to Anne Boleyn was proclaimed illicit by the pope, in light of the fact that the ruler was as yet hitched to his first spouse, Catherine of Aragon. Henry, as the leader of the congregation of England, announced himself that his first marriage was invalid in light of the fact that a man can't lay down with his sibling's dowager. He did likewise with his fifth spouse, Catherine Howard, conveying us down to two wives.
Driest Place on Earth
The Sahara desert? Nevada? All things considered, it's Antarctica. A few sections of the landmass hasn't seen any rain for two million years! A desert is in fact characterized as a territory of land that gets under 254mm (10 inches) of rain a year.
The Sahara gets 25 mm, Antarctica gets around a similar sum, however a few zones of Antarctica never get rain, and haven't for centuries. Making Antarctica the driest place on earth. Additionally, Antarctica can claim to be the windiest place on earth, with twist velocities of up to 200mph, the speediest at any point recorded.
Largest Living Organism
The elephant? The blue whale? The T-Rex? No. The biggest consistently living life form is a mushroom. What's more, not by any means an especially uncommon one.
The Armillaria ostoyae or 'Nectar organism's is exceptionally normal, and is most likely in your garden at this very moment. In any case, lets trust it doesn't develop as vast as the biggest at any point recorded example, in Malheur National backwoods, in Oregon.
It covers 2,200 sections of land (890 hectares)!! Furthermore, is in the vicinity of 2,000 and 8,000 years of age!! Most of the living being is under ground, as a huge tangle of appendage like mycelia (what might as well be called roots). The goliath nectar parasite was initially thought to develop in various groups around the woodland, however inquires about have affirmed it is in truth one, vast single life form!
Shape of Earth
Since around the fourth century BC, nobody, anyplace has trusted the earth to be level. This confusion that individuals where unmindful of the state of the earth originates from the incompletely anecdotal content 'The Life And Voyages Of Christopher Columbus' (1828), which mistakenly expressed that Columbus set out to demonstrate the earth was round. Honestly, no one would have debated the hypothesis. Confirmation demonstrates that all societies of the world worked out, through science or just perception, the circular idea of the Earth.
Sky Color in Ancient Greece
There was no word for blue in the antiquated Greek dialect. The closest words to blue – glaukos and kyanos are more similar to articulations of relative light power than depictions of shading. So when the Greek alluded to the sky as 'bronze', they implied that it was radiantly brilliant, similar to the sheen of a bronze shield, as opposed to really bronze-shaded.
It appears the antiquated Greeks depicted things in light of different characteristics, so when a word is utilized that, to us, appears to designate 'yellow' or 'light green' extremely just means liquid, living and crisp, and was in this manner used to portray blooms, blood, the ocean and sheep.
It would appear to us that the Greeks were alluding to these things as yellow hued, however that is a result of the way we depict things. Strangely, in Russia, there are two words for blue: goluboi and sinii, single word alluding to light blue, the other dim, which to Russians are two unique, particular hues, not shades of a similar shading, much like different societies see pink to be a shade of red, instead of a shading in it's own right.

Took me long enough to finish these, huh? Well, they're done now and I love them! Not quite in time to wear with my planned outfit of a cute skirt and black Mary Janes, but perfect for walking on hardwood floors in these chilly temps.
Down to the knitty gritty:
Pattern. Rock 'n Weave Socks by A. Karen Alfke
Yarn. Socks that Rock, Medium Weight in Fairgrounds - May Sock Kit.
Needles. Size 1, 2, and 5 Addi Turbos.
Buttons. Some shiny silver ones from Joanns. They look a lot like the ones in the pattern pic.
Duration. 4-eva! In reality, some time in early June to 10/20/06. Almost five months for a pair of socks? Sad.
Mods. None
Thoughts. Love the socks, love the pattern. The pattern shakes up the sock pattern both with it's construction of the ankle flap, the use of buttons, and just the overall look. I dig it.

The Charmant Hotel, La Crosse WI
Curating art for hotels around a design informed by the location of a property is something Kevin Barry Fine Art is known for. We believe it is just as important for small pieces to tell a story as it is for the biggest statement sculpture, and one of our projects that exemplifies that attention to detail is the art curation of the guest rooms of the Charmant Hotel in La Crosse, Wisconsin.
Charmant Hotel
La Crosse, WI
Design Firm: Simeone Deary
Charmant (French for "charming") was the name of the line of chocolates once produced during the candy factory's 35 years in operation in the early 1900s. This candy factory-turned-boutique hotel celebrates its sweet past through guest rooms decorated with custom-designed vintage candy tins designed by our in-house graphics team, as well as framed archival advertisements from the factory's past to create a bedroom gallery wall as unique as the hotel itself. As a further nod to the building's history, our hospitality art consultants commissioned unique wall coverings for the guest rooms made from metal salvaged from the candy factory before its renovation into the Charmant Hotel. If the rumors of the lingering sweet aroma of chocolate in the building are to be believed, we are happy the hotel art adds to the delicious multisensory experience.
"Being part of the redesign of the iconic Charmant Hotel with an eye to customizing its guest rooms made this a particularly memorable project for our team. Helping hotels showcase what makes them unique and celebrate their history with thoughtful custom art for hotels is something we take pride in and love to do."
– Elizabeth LaGumina, Graphic Design Director, Kevin Barry Fine Art

Friday, October 12th
Location: Press Club
10:00 – 10.20 Welcome Remarks
10:20 – 11:20 The Power to Influence, the Influence on Power: Government Affairs today on an International Scale It's time to redefine how organizations approach government relations. For years, it has been viewed through a prescriptive lens regarding only the grassroots and grasstops functions within government affairs teams. In today's digital age of politics and activism, the role of GR is not the same. So, what is its value concerning different countries of the world?
11: 35 – 12:35 To G2B or not to G2B. In the G2B model the initiative comes from a government organization and businesses are target group. It is common knowledge that for governments, G2B interactions are quite useful as they offer benefits in reducing costs and increasing efficiency in procurement processes as well as providing new avenues for selling surplus items. But how does G2B model look in practice?
12: 35 – 13:15 Lunch
13:15 – 14.15 Tools and tactics that create an effective government relations strategy Today, organizations who want to increase their effectiveness are focusing their efforts on digital public affairs and digital advocacy, an arena where online tools and digital communications are used to build grassroots support or influence policy. More and more lobbying firms are also experimenting with social media and other technological tools to leverage their efforts. Some are creating Twitter or Facebook campaigns for lawmakers to promote their goals. Successful government affairs teams are beginning to turn to analytics in order to augment their own knowledge with the power of big data. These and other ways to make your strategy powerful.
14:30 – 15:30 Making a Difference: Small Talks on Successful Cases Interacting with government and policy makers is crucial in different sectors: from agriculture to transportation. However, this activity demands a lot of time and efforts. Each speaker, a representative of his own sector, has its own impressive story of success and an effective strategy. It is a unique possibility to learn on their experience. We will figure out how to deal with tough situations and personalities and balance the demands of legislative and policy advocacy with everyday life.
15:30 – 16:30 The Role Lobbying Plays in World's Industries 'Government can be an opportunity centre and it's our responsibility as a company to shape policy so it becomes an opportunity' said CEO of Guidant Corporation, Ron Dollens. Because of the influence in government decision making on all levels – from local to global, sectors like Health, Insurance and Finance thrive today. As governments experiment with ways to expand health care accessibility and improve all aspects of the financial and insurance services, we will examine what exactly these shifts in policy, regulation and approach mean for the international services.
16:45 – 17:45 Lighting the Future: Public Affairs Forecasts and Challenges We are in the midst of a digital revolution that is radically transforming the way we live, work, move and interact. To make a logical conclusion of the annual conference, we would like to mention the most important trends in Government Relations. Also, we will find the most efficient ways to further political communications in the world and prepare ourselves for different challenges.

The biggest luxury in your life is time. This workshop allows you a clearly defined container to step into, designed with ample support and transformative experiences. A day just for you, to soothe your soul and feel your shoulders relax, your breath steady and your mind downshift.
It is time for a self-care revolution. We have a collective wound to heal. It is a wound made silent by our culture, the media, and our misinterpretations of success. We have been told that self-care is selfish, shameful, indulgent, inappropriate, expensive, luxurious or otherwise lazy. We have convinced ourselves that we "have to" keep pushing until we are utterly exhausted, that we "should" keep moving through life at breakneck pace or else we will fall behind, be forgotten, and never achieve our dreams. It doesn't have to be that way.
Are you feeling stuck in a rut? Confused by all the conflicting nutritional information out there? Are you tired, overwhelmed and feeling low on energy? Does your weight seem to have a mind of it's own? The secret to revitalizing your brain and body so it's operating at it's best, is what you eat and how you care for yourself.
Come discover 5 practical nutrition and lifestyle insights designed to work really well for women who lead, to help you stop depleting your brain and body, and start eating and living in a way that keeps you feeling great at work and at home.

text: How to Move Out Your Ex Like A Pro04/05/2019By Julie DeLong, A-1 Freeman Moving Group Being professional movers in Wichita Falls, we've made it simpler for people to move for all types of various reasons. At times, the reason is a happy one, and sometimes, it is as a result of tough situation for instance a divorce, death or break-up. We absolutely are not here to pass judgement, but alternatively to offer a few recommendations we've accumulated over the years for assisting individuals to move following a break-up. Moving in together is a trial run; an experiment of whether you and your significant other can endure each other once you're in close proximity everyday. Some couples pass with flying colors, and others... well, some do not. If you find yourself in the second group, and you need to ensure that your ex-girlfriend or boyfriend gets out and remains out, then it is important that you ensure you do not miss a trick when it comes to the moving out process in Wichita Falls. If you want to be certain they are unable to pull the, "Well, I found myself in the area, and recollected I still had various belongings to grab," card, then you need to adhere to these guidelines. Tip #1: Get Organized Whenever you reside with someone, your belongings will most likely mingle. However, if you've broken up, then it is the perfect time to re-draw those lines making it clear whose belongings are whose. So, proceed room by room, and put all of your ex's things to the side. This is probably going to be more challenging than it sounds, both as a result of feelings connected to the belongings, and because you will be continuously preparing a listing of things you now need to replace. However you need to do it swiftly, and efficiently. Rip the band-aid off abruptly, and the sting will probably fade quicker. Tip #2: Get It Out of Your Residence After you have all your ex's items in one location, you should not merely place it in a closet, or perhaps let it stay in a extra bedroom. You need it out of your house, to help you to breathe for a while and distance yourself from the memories. That doesn't mean pitch it out the window or toss it on the curb (satisfying as that may be, depending on your circumstances). However, find their things a home other than your house. Leave it with one of your ex's best friends or even move it to their mom's place. In case everything else fails, hire a professional mover in Wichita Falls and find a storage unit. Give your ex the key to the storage locker to allow them to go get it when they're ready for it. But do not allow it to remain in your place; the last thing you need when trying to pick up and get over it is an anchor remaining in the room. Tip #3: Find Them A Different Place to Live Something else your ex-girlfriend or boyfriend might drag their feet on is finding somewhere to go, since you have split up. And sure, choosing a residence isn't a fun task, particularly when you are doing it on your own. And that's why, though you have a great deal of other things to carry out, you ought to help obtain a place for them to go. If this means searching for a different rental that is available and in their price range (on the opposite side of the city) or speaking with your acquaintances to see who can use an additional roommate, be sure you don't allow the grass grow underneath your ex's feet. You will want them on their way together with their stuff, and when they've got somewhere to live, they can't play the guilt trip that you'll be just throwing them out onto the street. Tip #4: Don't Backslide Breaking up is tough, there's really no two ways about it. But when you have to do something, it is advisable to take definite steps toward finalization every single day. If you do not have the time, or the stamina, to pack up everything in one day, then pack just one space a day or perhaps contact a moving company in Wichita Falls to help with the packing and moving. If you can't drive all around town checking on rental costs, don't worry, you've got the power of the smartphone and the Internet. Send a couple of email messages or even place a handful of phone calls. The main element is that you are advancing, as opposed to just remaining where you are... or worse, waiting for everything to just fix itself. Request a free quote
