Tax Expert and Advisor Barry G. Fowler, EA Outlines Claiming Disaster Casualty Losses
Barry G. Fowler, EA, leading expert in tax resolution issues and CEO of Taxation Solutions talks about the extensions the IRS has granted for those affected by Hurricane Harvey and reminds they are extensions for filing not paying.
Houston, TX – October 16, 2017 – Barry G. Fowler, CEO of Taxation Solutions, posted a new blog on the company website entitled "Are You Eligible For Tax Benefits For Disaster Casualty Losses," in which Mr. Fowler provides a brief overview of qualifications.
Fowler writes, "We have had quite a hurricane season so far. U.S. taxpayers in three states and the commonwealth of Puerto Rico are still reeling from the devastating effects and will be for quite some time thanks to Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria." He adds, "This brings me to the topic of Disaster Casualty Losses, which are eligible for special tax benefits."
As Fowler defines it, "A disaster loss is a casualty loss that occurs in a geographic area that the President of the United States declares eligible for Federal disaster assistance." He knows the next question is coming so poses it, "So, what constitutes a Casualty Loss?"
According to Fowler, "A casualty loss is property damage from a sudden, unanticipated event such as earthquakes, fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and storms. Taxpayers within a federally declared disaster area can choose to claim their loss in the year it occurs or on the previous year's return."
"When to take the loss," Fowler explains, "depends upon several factors including the tax brackets for each year. You'll want to determine which year will provide the greatest overall tax advantage without wasting other tax benefits. You'll also want to consider the immediate need for cash. The primary purpose of the disaster casualty loss rules is to allow taxpayers to receive a tax refund without waiting to file their return for the year of the loss."

Big Data Technologies for Monitoring of Computer Security: A Case Stud
Big Data Technologies for Monitoring of Computer Security: A Case Study of the Russian Federation
English | PDF,EPUB | 2018 | 271 Pages | ISBN : 3319790358 | 11.30 MB
This timely book offers rare insight into the field of cybersecurity in Russia – a significant player with regard to cyber-attacks and cyber war. Big Data Technologies for Monitoring of Computer Security presents possible solutions to the relatively new scientific/technical problem of developing an early-warning cybersecurity system for critically important governmental information assets. Using the work being done in Russia on new information security systems as a case study, the book shares valuable insights gained during the process of designing and constructing open segment prototypes of this system.
Most books on cybersecurity focus solely on the technical aspects. But Big Data Technologies for Monitoring of Computer Security demonstrates that military and political considerations should be included as well.
With a broad market including architects and research engineers in the field of information security, as well as managers of corporate and state structures, including Chief Information Officers of domestic automation services (CIO) and chief information security officers (CISO), this book can also be used as a case study in university courses.

This article is from the Model Rockets FAQ, by Wolfram von Kiparski with numerous contributions by others.
The big changes have come in motors. Expendable composite fuel motors
are now available in B-G range for model rockets. These motors
use ammonium perchlorate for oxidizer and rubber as the fuel, similar to
the rocket boosters on the space shuttle, allowing them to pack two to
three times the power in the same space as a black powder motor. The B
motors from Apogee are the same size as Estes mini-motors (13x45mm).
The C motors (also from Apogee) are 18x50mm, while the D motors are the
same size as Estes A-C motors (18x70mm). The D is a full D (rated at 20
Newton-seconds versus the Estes 24x70mm D of about 17 N-s). E motors range
in size from 18x70mm to 29x124mm. All of the motors give Estes kits an
incredible ride, if the models hold together. These kits require stronger
construction methods and materials than typical model rockets. Put an
Aerotech D21 or E25 in your old Big Bertha at your own risk!! You're
likely to end up with a model with no fins (i.e., a complete 'shred').
Another new trend is 'reloadable' motor technology. With reloadables
you have a metal motor casing that you manually reload with solid fuel
pellets, delay and ejection charge for each flight. The casing is
reusable. Reloadable motors are available in everything from 18x70 mm
(with B - E power), 24mm, (with D - F power), 29mm, 38mm, and much
larger. Again, you can get all the way up to 40,000+ Newton-seconds of
total impulse.
The latest technology to hit the High Power rocket scene is the hybrid
rocket motor. Hybrid motors use components from both liquid and solid
ful rocket motors. Two companies have currently certified hybrid motors
with Tripoli, Aerotech and Hypertek. The advantage of hybrid motors is
that they use totally inert fuel grains, such as a cast polymer plastic
or compressed paper pulp, which do not have any DOT or ATF restrictions.
With both motors, nitrous oxide is used for the oxidizer.

The month is February and the only sign of spring coming I see is that my tulips are 1.5″ tall. I feel they are brave to grow in the cold and the snow. I don't seem to flourish myself in this kind of weather but a flower just does what it does. I wonder if it thinks about all the dangers in the world before it peaks its head out. I think of all the dangers in the world before I take a step outside- a sign of the times. Yet, as the flowers has the courage to grow I will have the courage to live my life. As life and my camera I can focus on the beauty or the ugly. I think pictures have more interest when they uplift the viewer and I will focus on positive also.
So, I have posted flowers of spring to my website. A sign of hope for me that as the seasons cycle so does the photography life. Spring will arrive and bring its warmth and promise. The camera will rise from the bag and once again try to collect the beauty. I will makes plans to travel and have adventures. This world is as much about places as people and our lives need the nature outside our door. I find a good spot next to the water a peaceful place to be. I wonder what it is like to hear the water everyday?
Once again I dream of the future as I go about the day to day. I keep the vision of travel and photography with me to remind me of what I want. I do my best not to let my focus go to time wasters and life wasters. What am I going to remember in 10 years? I hope it is an adventure I had or a scene from a trip. Something of value that had an impact on my life.

Am I the perfect person, do I always do the right thing, do I have the perfect body? I really don't, but that is more than ok.
However, I like to think that I've grown a lot as a person over the years. I've made several conscious improvements over the years; I can personally notice that over the past decade my self-confidence has come on miles. For example, as a child, I would be the one who would get butterflies when we had to present a group project in front of the class. I would be dreading it for hours before, I never saw myself as a person who could do any kind of public speaking. Fast forward, 7 years and my job includes speaking in front of 70+ children, groups of teenagers and adults. I'm shocked at myself somedays, I never thought I could become the person that I am today and y'know what I'm really proud of myself, you have to say it sometimes.
I would like to believe that the lessons I've learned can help others too, at least I hope so.
Here are 5 things to help you improve yourself:
Reward Yourself
While true motivation comes from within, I believe that having rewards is a key step to success. After all, the power of motivation allows you to achieve anything you want too.
If you're trying to land a new job, why not promise yourself a new car as a reward for making it happen. A Vauxhall Adam is ideal for new and younger drivers, especially as it won't break the bank entirely. This source of motivation will be vital when you feel like giving up.
Similarly, a new outfit can be your reward for reaching a new goal weight.
Look After Your Health
Taking care of yourself is always so important, there are several ways you can do this ranging from a bath after a long day, meditation to doing some exercise or eating healthier.
I recently decided that quitting alcohol is the best route forwards for my health, this is due to me suffering with mild anxiety and depression. I am on medication for it and I put so much effort into self-care and I don't think it's worth ruining a healthy mind for a glass of wine.
The People Around You Matter
Your road to self-improvement is a personal journey. Nevertheless, being surrounded by the right people is essential if you want to achieve success.
Positive people will inspire you to accomplish your goals. Conversely, negative people will bring you down and lead you to poor decisions. This can seriously harm your hopes of sustained success. It's a harsh reality, but cutting ties from negative influences is vital.
Sometimes in life, you have to put yourself first.
Plan Your Journey
Before trying to improve yourself you need to set your goals , you can then work on a plan to help you achieve them.
For example if your plan is to become happier with your life, set yourself a goal to join a new club doing something you enjoy. You can then start to research and inquire about clubs in your area before trying a few out to see which suite you best.
On the other hand, if it's a fitness goal such as losing half a stone you can create a workout plan. This can include what days to work out and rest and what exercises to do to help you lose fat or gain muscle.
Perfection Isn't Necessary
Last but not least, you need to realise that perfection isn't necessary. In fact, it probably isn't even an option. For example, when we think of 'perfection' we think of body image and our mind drifts of the models on the Instagram discover page. We are aware some of these images are edited and photoshopped to make their waist look smaller, their bum and boobs bigger however we still aspire for their bodies that aren't real. Please don't only settle for perfection because perfection isn't a thing, being yourself and happy with yourself is how to really be happy. You should be proud of yourself for who you are gal, OWN IT!
I hope these few tips are useful, do you have any other tips to add?

A Facebook case study on how the animated movie 'Delhi Safari' managed to gain maximum engagement on Facebook by posting creative content and adding in some gamification.
Delhi Safari – India's first stereoscopic 3D animated feature film made by Nikhil Advani and produced by Krayon Pictures – combines Bollywood masala with the global cause of deforestation and wildlife protection. In the movie, a group of animals namely Bagga, Bajrangi, Alex, Yuvi and Begum plan a trip to Delhi in order to ask the prime minister, why the forest they live in is on the verge of destruction. Delhi Safari provides for good entertainment as well as food for thought for these causes.
The movie got digital agency, Socio Square to create an exciting Facebook page that not only highlighted the creativity of the movie but also encouraged fans to interact with the page as much as possible.
Being an animated movie, the Facebook page for it had to be something as unique as the film. The main objective while working on this page was to create a perception for this movie that is very Bollywood in nature. The emphasis was on fun and entertainment rather than monotonous content to build maximum fan engagement.
- To extend the content of the page beyond the things that are already being done on other movie pages.
- Capitalize on the weekends for engaging fans via creative content like fan activities, puzzles, etc.
Gamification – The new trend for engagement!
Content was strategized in the form of picture games to engage more fans over the weekend. Every weekend, the page had game-centric posts that required fans to give some input. There was no kind of gratification on any of these posts as the intention was to hold on to a fan's attention and give them something more to do than just reading a post or checking out a picture. Posts like the Maze Game, Solve the puzzle, Spot differences, Spot the words and Comic Strips fetched a good response.
Most Viral post: The maze game
Spot Differences
The original post was made on August 19th, when the page had about 140K fans. As you can see, the post received more than 1000 likes, 250 shares and had over 150 responses in the comments. Interestingly, all this was achieved in less than 3 hours.
Crossword Puzzle
The original post was made on August 5th, when the page had about 50K fans. The post received more than 250 likes, 60 shares and a good number of successful responses in less than 2 hours. The solution was shared the next day.
Jigsaw Puzzle:
- Fans are ready to engage with the page, provided not too much is asked from them in return. In the maze game, fans were asked to just reply with the right answer in the options A, B, C or D. Since a single letter reply was expected, comments kept pouring throughout the day.
- It was also observed that the best time to fetch attraction from the fans is the weekends, especially for movie brands (starting Friday evening to Sunday).
Be it movies or products, brands can always capitalise on the basic human need to play games, solve puzzles and find answers. The Delhi Safari Facebook campaign brings out a smart content strategy where the community is treated to something fun and creative and at the same time, also gets them involved.
How did you like the content strategy for Delhi Safari on Facebook? Let me know your thoughts.

Upsurge in Material Innovation & Increase in Old Pipe Replacement to Create Lucrative Opportunities
Surge in replacement of aged pipes, in addition to growing innovation in materials used in insulation of industrial pipes, will reportedly create attractive opportunities for manufacturers in near future. Lack of proper insulation leads to significant energy loss, eventually resulting in additional costs to businesses. The amount of energy lost through improperly insulated pipes can be 10x the energy that can be potentially delivered through them. Moreover, unchecked damages in aged pipelines lead to leakages, resulting in loss of materials. Also, decoration of pipe insulation along with pipes contributes to an increase in energy loss, further contributing to environmental pollution. Manufacturers are focusing on the development of anti-corrosive and anti-abrasion materials, sustainable and eco-friendly materials, and energy saving and cost effective materials. Moreover, companies are expected to introduce various insulation materials, which can offer thermal resistance, prevent pinhole leaks, reduce carbon footprint, provide UV resistance, and protect against fungal infections.

Why worry about it now?
The problems that occur from improper storage of your boiler can range from general tube thinning due to oxygen attack to complete tube failure. Burner controls and valves can fail with catastrophic results. According to the National Board, last year's burner failures were responsible for more than 85% of fatal power boiler incidents. If your steam boiler operates at over 15psig it is a power boiler.
Never store a dirty boiler.
Unwanted moisture is bad under the best circumstances. Add some soot, and you have acidic slurry that corrodes iron. Believe it or not, boilers contain a large amount of iron. Get rid of the soot! If your boiler has soot blowers, use them. Follow the instructions and complete your soot blowing before you shut the boiler down. Most of you will have to clean your tubes the old fashioned way, with a wire brush and a vacuum. It's messy work, but commercial services are available at reasonable costs, and they deal with all the hazardous disposal issues that could arise.
Be safe!
If you have to crawl through a hole to get inside your boiler, you have a confined space. A confined space can have pockets of toxic gasses or low oxygen and must be checked before you enter it. If you can swing open a door to access all of your tubes without climbing through a hole, you're safe. Wear a fitted respirator when cleaning your boilers. The white dust masks aren't rated for this duty and the soot is harmful. Follow your confined space procedures.
Boiler Watersides
Now that the firesides are clean, you want to ensure that the watersides are scale and sludge free. You should plan on having your chemical treatment representative inspect the boiler when you open it. To open the boiler, you need to allow the boiler water to cool to 120°F or so and then drain the boiler. As soon as the boiler is drained, open the boiler. Any loose debris or sludge can then be washed out with fresh water; pressure washing isn't recommended. If you have any visible scale, the water treatment rep can adjust your treatment program to take care of this.
Everything else.
After cleaning, the boiler watersides must be completely dried out. This usually means blowing dry air through it with a heater or a fan. Inspect the burner while the boiler is open. All moving parts should move freely. The air damper, oil nozzle, and/or diffuser should be maintained in like-new condition. Use a light penetrating lubricant to coat all of the unprotected exposed metal parts. Inspect the controls. Any controls used to monitor the water level of the boiler should be opened and inspected for mechanical operation before reinstalling them. Use new gaskets on the low water controls. Try applying a little lead plate to the gaskets to help them release next year.
Putting the boiler to bed.
The boiler is dry and ready for storage. Block off all possible entry points for moisture. After you have this accomplished, place some moisture absorbing material (desiccant, like silica gel or quicklime) in trays in the firesides and watersides. Follow the instructions provided with the desiccant or this rule of thumb: two (2) lbs of quicklime or five (5) lbs of silica gel per 30 cubic feet of flooded boiler volume.
Affix large signs on the outside of the boiler detailing the location of the desiccant. Check the material periodically and freshen as needed. If the boiler is left outside, remove the electronics (for storage in a warm dry atmosphere) and cover the boiler completely.
A little care goes a long way
Take the time to store your boiler properly. We have provided some general guidelines for storage, but check with your manufacturer for detailed instructions.
Editors Note: This feature will be periodically updated and is intended to give general helpful guidelines on technical issues affecting the boiler industry. Always follow your operation and maintenance manuals.

The element beryllium is a grey metal that is stronger than steel and lighter than aluminum. Its physical properties of great strength-to-weight, high melting point, excellent thermal stability and conductivity, reflectivity, and transparency to X-rays make it an essential material in the aerospace, telecommunications, information technology, defense, medical, and nuclear industries. Beryllium is classified as a strategic and critical material by the U.S. Department of Defense.
Beryllium is used industrially in three forms: as a pure metal, as beryllium oxide, and most commonly, as an alloy with copper, aluminum, magnesium, or nickel. Beryllium oxide (called beryllia) is known for its high heat capacity and is an important component of certain sensitive electronic equipment. Beryllium alloys are classified into two types: high beryllium content (up to 30% beryllium) and low beryllium content (2 - 3% beryllium). Copper-beryllium alloy is commonly used to make bushings, bearings, and springs. Beryllium is also found as a trace metal in slags and fly ash.

Nomad is 'The Magazine for New Design Culture, Business Affairs & Contemporary Lifestyle'
Nomad stands out as a magazine for design and society which doesn't only chronicle developments in design – like a number of other design magazines do – but also reports on individual and societal topics from a design perspective. By looking at the world from such a perspective, the magazine offers a new, surprising way of looking at our world.
Nomad seeks to change the perspective of design from its status as something extraordinary to a more run-of-the-mill concept, as this gives rise to natural appreciation. Alongside a focus on the end result of the design process and the designers themselves, other aspects are explored through which the effects and future potential of design culture for individuals and society as a whole are investigated within the framework of a broader understanding of design.
In this way, Nomad seeks to take new stances. It offers views on a wide range of standpoints: personal and economic, cultural and global. This means that the magazine covers a wide range of subjects, in which design, social and lifestyle issues are inspirationally juxtaposed with questions on designing the future.

Strawberry-Kiwi Mojito Smoothie. This two-toned fruity drink is perfect for summertime – make it with alcohol for an adult treat, or leave out the booze for a fun, multicolored smoothie you can share with anyone.
The layers of strawberry and kiwi add a pretty visual effect, with colors that are perfect for the warmer weather and blending the mint right in with the fruit gives it a fun and slightly different flavor. As for adding the alcohol to it – alcohol is very much a grey area, and many people find that they just don't do well with it. For some it's a gut irritant; for others it just makes them feel lousy. If you're in the no-alcohol camp, just leave the rum out of it; the smoothie will still be tasty. But alcohol is also an important part of human social occasions, and eating Paleo shouldn't cut you off from your friends and family. PREP: 15 min. Ingredients 1 ½ cup frozen strawberries, roughly chopped1 ½ cup frozen kiwi, roughly chopped8 fresh mint leaves2 oz. rum or vodka (optional)2 cups crushed ice Preparation. Peach And Raspberry Lemonade. If it just isn't summertime without a big pitcher of lemonade on the table, try this Paleo version for a sweet, fruity drink that doesn't come out of a neon packet mix.
You don't need to fruit flavors out of a little plastic tube of powder when you could get them from the actual fruit! This is a great option for people trying to get away from drinking soda all the time – cutting out the sugar water should be close to #1 on the list of ways to improve your diet, and sometimes, having a healthier flavored option makes the transition easier. You can add honey to this recipe to taste, or leave it out if you like it less sweet (yet another advantage of homemade over powder mixes: you can make it taste exactly how you want it). If you don't want to wait for your lemonade when you get thirsty, just make a big batch and store it in the fridge – it'll keep until you're ready for a glass.
PREP: 15 min. COOK: 5 min. Ingredients. Chocolate Avocado Strawberry Smoothie. Here's a creamy chocolate treat to cool off on a hot afternoon with or just enjoy after dinner as a healthy end to the day.
There's an avocado in it, but it doesn't taste like avocado at all; that's really there for the texture. The taste is all from the strawberries and chocolate, with a little extra honey for sweetness if you like it that way. When you're choosing your chocolate, remember to go for the highest-quality kind you can (here's a guide to choosing good chocolate). Go for at least 85% dark chocolate; the darker the better. Frozen Chocolate Smoothie. Chocolate can be a perfectly healthy food; it's all the other stuff we typically eat along with the chocolate that makes it so questionable.
Fortunately, it's perfectly possible to tone down the bitterness of raw cacao and make it delicious without adding a huge pile of junk. In this smoothie, you can re-create an almost Nutella-like taste with just three ingredients: cocoa powder, dates, and hazelnuts. Just to be clear, the sugar in dates is still sugar like any other sugar, and there's nothing magical about "natural" sweeteners that makes them healthier, but three dates is still not a huge amount of sugar in total, especially not if you're making the smoothie as a treat instead of an everyday staple.
You don't have to soak the nuts overnight but there are two big benefits that you might find worth the wait: The texture of your finished product will be smoother and silkier.The nuts will be easier to digest and less likely to upset your stomach. PREP: 10 min. Ingredients Preparation. Frozen Coconut Strawberry Drink. Try a different twist on strawberries, chocolate, and whipped cream with this Paleo-friendly drink.
Blended frozen fruit with coconut water makes a naturally sweet base, and some coconut-milk whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles on top on top take it beyond an everyday smoothie into the realm of truly indulgent desserts. If you've never made coconut-milk whipped cream before, it's not hard, but the process is a little counterintuitive. Take an unopened can of full-fat coconut milk (do not use the "lite" kind; it won't work) and stick it in the fridge, preferably overnight. Coconut Milk Hot Chocolate. Dark chocolate is the king of Paleo indulgences and when combined with the richness of coconut milk you're in for something really decadent.
This hot chocolate is easy to prepare in a few minutes and will keep you warm during the cold winter months. Full of good fat from the coconut and antioxidants from the high-quality dark chocolate, you won't have to fill guilty about a hot chocolate treat for once! The best part is how easily this recipe can be adapted for different flavor profiles. Add more chocolate if you like it extra chocolaty, or ¼ tsp of peppermint extract for a peppermint hot chocolate, ½ tsp pumpkin spice for a pumpkin spice hot chocolate, and similarly for cinnamon.
Spinach-Blueberry Frozen Smoothie. Smoothies don't make for a complete breakfast on their own, but they can be really nice as a treat every now and again.
The almond butter in this one gives it a very rich texture, and the spinach does the trick that spinach always does in smoothies: adds a lot of nutrition without actually affecting the flavor much. The obvious way to get a frozen banana is to just buy an ordinary banana and freeze it, but remember to take the peel off before you stick it in the freezer, or you'll end up having to scrape off a frozen banana peel. If your blender isn't very powerful, sometimes it also helps to chop the banana into pieces before freezing, so it blends more easily. Banana Mango Smoothie. January got you down?
How about a trip to the tropics? Maybe not literally, but at least your mouth can take a vacation with this cheerful, fruity smoothie. Mango, banana, and orange juice combine for a midwinter treat without any extra sweeteners, and you can use your choice of coconut milk for extra tropical flavor or almond milk if you're not huge on the coconut taste. Of course, all the usual smoothie caveats apply here. Morning Paleo Smoothie. In my Paleo Breakfast Ideas article, one of my recommendations was a smoothie made out of a base of either crushed ice or coconut milk.
I know for a lot of people smoothies are a no-brainer, but I'm sure that having a more specific recipe will help a lot of people make the best concoctions and also give some new ideas to try out. I call the smoothie I make the power smoothie simply because it's packed with good fats, proteins, antioxidants and flavor and is also very satisfying and will keep you going for hours. I won't give you a recipe that's too specific here because the possibilities are too plentiful to limit ourselves, but I'll tell you general things I like to put in it. Start with a base of coconut milk, I usually use a whole can.Add plenty of any fruit you'd like. I like to use frozen berries. Blueberry Cucumber Smoothie. The following is a very quick and simple Paleo recipe for a delicious blueberry cucumber smoothie.
It might seem like an odd combination, but it's truly delicious. Even though cucumbers are technically and botanically a fruit, they are one of the rare ones to be more on the savory side of the spectrum so they are often considered and prepared as a vegetable. A lot of people do not like to mix fruits and vegetables, because of the conflicting sweet and savory tastes, but cucumber is quite neutral in taste and it reduces a little bit the sweetness of the blueberries.
Strawberry Rhubarb Lemonade. It seems as though the seasons have been a little confused lately (at least where I'm from). We may just be skipping out on Spring this year and jumping right into Summer. I guess I shouldn't really complain, as I could totally live without the rain. But then to think of what these odd temperatures will do to my garden. Frozen Coconut Limeade. Throwing a party over the long weekend? Or just need a little something to jazz up your cookout? Here's a perfect Paleo-friendly refreshment: tropical flavor and plenty of ice, with as much honey as you like to get your favorite level of sweetness. Coconut Strawberry Lemonade. What summer afternoon would be complete without a cold glass of lemonade? There's a classic lemonade recipe here, but if you're looking for something a little more distinctive, why not jazz it up with some coconut and fruit? As well as being a delicious treat, this is also the ideal post-workout recovery drink for the hot summer months.
Valentine's Day Smoothie. Did you know that the pomegranate has been a symbol of love and fertility as far back as ancient Greece? If you're looking for an appropriate Valentine's Day treat, you couldn't get much more appropriate – and pomegranates aren't the only fruit with a story to tell. Other berry meanings include raspberries (kindness) and strawberries (modesty, perfection, and "sweetness in life and character"). Raspberry-Grapefruit Smoothie. Another day another smoothie. I'm sorry guys, but I can't help myself. I'm in the mood for smoothies so that's what you're getting. I've made this raspberry-grapefruit smoothie several times and it's delicious. Fresh, healthy, and well, grapefruit-y. Healthy Chocolate Banana Shake. I am a big fan of fruit and chocolate together. Paleo Tropical Sunrise Orange, Mango, Banana, Strawberry Smoothie Recipe - American Expeditioners. Apparently there are people who stop eating when they are full.
Avocado Banana Smoothie Recipe. This creamy avocado banana smoothie is "the perfect natural pick-me-up," says Rich Goldstein, owner of the Natural Epicurean Academy of Culinary Arts. It's also a delicious way to protect your heart: the monosaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) in avocados and potassium in bananas all offer cardiovascular support, while cinnamon can help lower LDL cholesterol levels. Even better if you're watching your waistline: MUFAs have been shown to target belly fat, so sipping on this frosty low-calorie smoothie when the temperatures rise is a good idea. Enjoy this creamy, dairy-free smoothie in the morning for breakfast or as part of a cooling lunch.

Orange Peach Raspberry Smoothie - A Calculated Whisk. This orange peach raspberry smoothie is bright, easy, tasty, and full of antioxidants.

Newlywed vampires Sarah and Thierry de Bennicoeur have their whole undead lives ahead of them. And with Thierry's job as a consultant for the Ring sending them across the globe to solve one vampire crisis after another, eternity may never have a dull moment.
Sarah was hoping the honeymoon
would literally last forever, but when Thierry receives a mysterious
invitation to an auction held in an old Beverly Hills mansion, it's
clearly time to get back to work. Thierry hopes to win a powerful amulet
containing a wish-granting djinn that has eluded him for centuries.
Unfortunately, Atticus Kincade, head of the vampire council, also has
his eye on the item.
When the auction's host reveals his
unpleasant history with Thierry, and Sarah discovers a talking head in
the freezer, things get even weirder than usual. But when the amulet
goes missing, and everyone is suddenly trapped inside the mansion, the
undead guests find themselves in mortal danger—and Sarah had better be
careful what she wishes for.
Series: Immortality Bites Mystery #3
Release Date: 07/01/2014
The ABCs of the Immortality Bites Mysteries
by Sarah Dearly, fledgling vampire and (award winning) amateur sleuth
as told to Michelle Rowen
For those who are not familiar with my recent travels with my husband, Thierry, an official investigator of vampire-related mysteries for the vampire council, here's a handy little A-Z guide to help get you started!
A is for Atticus, Thierry's boss and the cause of much stress on our latest case in Beverly Hills.
B is for Blood, because, well, I'm a vampire. And some dietary myths are definitely true.
C is for Corpse, which is the title of the Sue Grafton novel, but also something I tend to stumble across quite often these days.
D is for Danger! Which I tend to be a magnet for, along with: Trouble!
E is for Ex-Wife, as in Thierry's ex-wife Veronique whose path crosses with ours at a magical auction (from hell).
F is for Fanged. And also for Fabulous.
G is for Ghost. I'm one of the rare vampires who can see and communicate with the dead. Not always a good thing, believe me!
H is for Hilarious, since I do tend to see the wackier side of life.
I is for Icebox, which is where I find a severed head in From Fear to Eternity - one that claims - cue dramatic music - that he was murdered!
J is for Justice, which I deal out one vampiric-related crime at a time!
K is for Kiss, because what's a little mystery without a little romance?
L is for Love, which I have in large amounts for my husband, even when he's being grumpy.
M is for Magic, because hocus-pocus seems to be a big part of my life lately.
N is for Necromancy, which is how zombies are raised from the dead. I'm sure that explains the talking head in the icebox, right?
O is for Oops, when I stick my nose too far into someone else's business.
P is for Partners, which is what e and Thierry are. Partners in fighting crime!
Q is for Quinn, sort of an ex-boyfriend back in my paranormal romance novel days. Don't tell Thierry I mentioned him.
R is for the Ring, which is what the shady and mysterious Vampire Council is called.
S is for Sarah. Hi there! Nice to meet you.
T is for Thierry, my ancient and serious, yet gorgeous and wonderful brand new husband.
U is for Undead, which I am not, but some people assume I am since I'm a vampire. That's okay. I forgive you.
V is for Vampire. No sparkling allowed.
W is for Witches, who are not my favorite people in the world, but sometimes they have their uses.
X is for X-citement! Okay, that's a stretch, but I couldn't think of an appropriate X word.
Y is for You, who should totally read these books.
Z rhymes with Dead and Bed and Said for me, since I'm originally from Canada.
Michelle Rowen is the national bestselling author of many paranormal novels for adults and young adults, including the Immortality Bites Mysteries. Bled & Breakfast, the 2nd book in the series garnered not only a Top Pick from RT BookReviews magazine, but also their Reviewer's Choice Award for Best Amateur Sleuth.

Google I/O 2019, Apple WWDC 2019 and Amazon re:MARS events zero in on resolving friction points to help improve customer experience
Each year Google's major I/O and Apple's WWDC developer events offer a first look at innovations from these technology leaders, while Amazon's re:MARS event focuses on the practical applications that innovations such as AI can bring. This year both organisations are building mobile capabilities that will have a direct impact on customer experience in general – particularly as the vast majority of customer experiences take place on or through Android and iOS devices.
Taking Assistant technology to the next level
At I/O 2019 Google announced that it has developed completely new speech recognition and language understanding models by taking advantage of developments in recurrent neural networks. Previously its 100GB speech models had to sit in the cloud, meaning that there was an inevitable delay when customers accessed the intelligent assistant on their phones. Now Google has shrunk those models down to less than half a gigabyte, allowing its Assistant to run locally on Android phones and process speech on-device, at nearly zero latency, with transcription runs in real-time – even without a network connection! The result is that Google Assistant will be able to process and understand customer requests as they make them, and deliver answers up to ten times faster – quicker than even pressing and swiping on the touch screen for many tasks. Providing a much faster and more reliable service removes one of the major friction points of using speech on mobile devices and is sure to accelerate the adoption of speech recognition.
Apple is also focussing on speech. Its new Siri Voice, for example, uses advanced neural text-to-speech technology to sound more natural – particularly when speaking longer phrases – like reading the news or answering knowledge questions. This mirrors Google's developments over the last year leaving Apple a little behind when it comes to speech recognition and language understanding – but the speed at which this technology is developing is breath-taking.
At re:MARS Amazon highlighted how it has been working on making interaction with its Alexa personal assistant more natural. Its key goal has been to make these interactions more fluid, enabling conversations that can progress easily from topic to topic without requiring sequential Alexa requests. By applying a dialogue process that aims to predict next actions and switch easily between different Alexa skills, Amazon is using machine learning to predict customer intentions from the direction of the dialogue. Once determined, this automated dialogue flow then enables joined-up interactions across multiple skills.
Amazon gave the example of going to watch a movie, starting with an Alexa request asking, 'what movies are playing nearby'. This initial request can then extend to selecting a movie, purchasing tickets, making a dinner reservation, watching a trailer of that movie, and even ordering an Uber to and from the cinema. Anticipating customer intent and taking them through a seamless process to achieve their goals is of course a critical component of effective customer journey orchestration, and clearly shows how Amazon is expanding Alexa's capabilities.
Simplifying the sign-in process
With the announcement of its forthcoming iOS13 operating system scheduled for this Autumn, Apple is clearly thinking hard about how it can improve the experience for its customers. Apple announced a huge set of new features that will change the way we use these devices to communicate with each other and engage in customer service.
Data privacy is increasingly at the forefront of consumer concerns, Apple continues to build on its reputation for respecting personal data. Clearly recognising that people really don't like it when services ask them to sign in with their Facebook or Google profiles, Apple is now giving iOS users the opportunity to sign in to apps and websites with their Apple ID profile. Given current widespread security concerns, presenting users with choices about what data they share with organisations looks like an attractive option, particularly when it's as easy as tapping 'Sign in with Apple' and confirming identity via a quick Face ID or Touch ID. The most information customers will have to share with an app or website is their name and email address, and they also have the power to share or hide email addresses, with the option of choosing to have Apple create a unique one-time email address that will forward messages to their real address.
Sign-in is clearly a friction point for customers, and Apple's decision to challenge Facebook and Google by providing a simpler and more secure sign-in will be attractive for customers. Using Face ID or Touch ID to log in to a bank website, for example, will be particularly less stressful than many existing financial services sign in procedures.
Offering protection against spam calls
Putting users in control of their devices is a smart move in 2019, and for iOS 13 Apple has introduced a new setting that protects people from unknown and spam callers. When this is turned on, iOS uses Siri intelligence to only allow calls to ring your phone from numbers in your phone's Contacts, Mail, and Messages. All other calls are automatically sent to voicemail. While this will prove popular with users, it's clearly going to have an impact on outbound calling from diallers.
Customising Memojis for increased personalisation
When Apple first introduced its customer Memoji last year, we speculated how this would enable users to create Avatars to represent themselves when communicating in digital worlds. At WWDC 2019, Apple launched a broad range of new Memoji customisation features, enabling users to create and refine their Memojis as well as allowing a name and Memoji or photograph to be used with its messaging service. While the option to apply makeup and add piercings to Memojis won't necessarily disrupt the CX world, the ability for customers to hyper-personalise their characters, choose exactly where and how they're used, and have their Memoji represent themselves when communicating with both personal contacts as well as businesses that have adopted Apple's business messaging service certainly brings a more personal approach to customer engagement.
Looked at separately, these announcements are certainly smart innovations – however, when brought together they show how tech leaders are working hard to identify and solve specific customer friction points.
At Sabio we expect the kind of positive experiences gained on personal devices – whether via speech, improved security or smarter personalisation – will combine to heighten consumer expectation for organisations to deliver better quality, secure interactions. We're ready with the expertise and solutions you need to respond to your customers' ever-changing needs and particularly understand the challenge of customers escalating from self-service to assisted-service channels.
Get in touch with me [email protected] to see how we can help you to bridge this gap and deliver seamless, friction-free engagement across the entire customer journey.

It's been said that prevention is better than cure. The same sentiment can be applied to gutter maintenance. Being proactive about the maintenance of your gutters is infinitely better—not to mention more cost-effective—than trying to "cure" it when it's too late. Keeping your gutters clean and clog-free allows you to reap numerous benefits such as:
A Leak-Free Roof
It's no secret that your gutter system's main purpose is to divert and keep water away from your house. Water and moisture are extremely detrimental to your home's components, as exposure to these two leads to rot and accelerated deterioration. Removing debris from your gutters, especially during fall when leaves and pine needles abound, ensures that the water flows away from your house.
A Pest-Free Dwelling
Apart from stagnant water, clogged gutters can also become a nesting ground for nasty pests and other equally unsavory infestations. Standing water is especially appealing to mosquitoes, while the abundance of leaves appeals to birds. Several gutter protection systems are available that deliver excellent results and reduce the need for manual gutter cleaning.
Strong Foundations
Overflowing gutters pose a threat to the integrity of your home's foundation. The constant water flow can create cracks. Over time, water can seep into your basement and result in mold and mildew. Since it affects the very foundation of your house, this type of damage can be quite costly to remedy and even costlier to reverse.
Gutter installation can be considered an investment since your gutter system provides you and your house excellent protection against various problems. Being proactive about maintenance and cleaning is the most effective way of maximizing this investment. At ImproveIT! of Atlanta, LLC, we are more than glad to help you in this regard. Call us at (770) 225-4477 to get a free inspection. We serve Alpharetta, Roswell and Dunwoody, GA.

peel off the leather and dig out your heart. right before your very eyes i slipped off the husk. i mastered the sleight. there's a getaway car that's been waiting my whole life. the engine has been running since the moment i arrived. a trap door in the gallows let the charlatan out but smoke and mirrors box him in. the rags and the bones were such a burden that i thought i'd collapse and only when i surrendered them did i find i had what it takes to burn myself at the stake. did you smell a rat? i had faked everything but my death. across the divide and onto the shore, the strain on my back wasn't there anymore. wisdom teeth have replaced the fangs.
i've been scalped. i've been knocked conscious and i still haven't come around. there was so much trouble on my mind all the time. call on the ten thieves and tell them i'm ready. i looked up and the desert was everywhere, but insight comes through blackened eyes. i climbed a hill to dig a hole in the ground where i could bury the faithlessness and the evidence that i was ever actually right. my skin was on too tight. i could not identify the body. us snakes evolve, its what snakes do. i could not identify the body. shed the fur and leave the womb. peel off the leather and dig out your heart.

8 Things My Grandmother Taught Me About Motherhood
When most people hear the word "grandma," they think of a little old lady who knits and bakes cookies. Me? I picture a badass, smart as hell, militant librarian who will wipe the floor with you at Trivial Pursuit. In other words, my grandma is a special lady. From the way she parented herself to how she helped raise me, my grandmother has taught me so much about motherhood.
My parents were separated before I was born, so my mom took my sister (13 months older) and me and moved in with her parents. I enjoyed what was nothing short of a magical childhood, full of camping trips, putting on shows for the adults, and watching Fraggle Rock before bedtime. Moving out was incredibly difficult, but since Grandma was the librarian at my elementary school, I got to see her all the time. As a teen, I was grandma's buddy for trips to museums and the theater. Once I became a full-fledged adult, I joined her book club. She's always been a central figure in my life.
So it was with great pleasure that I announced my pregnancy to her. I remember heading up to her retirement home with the ultrasound picture in my hand. She was so excited to be a great-grandma! I visited her every week as my belly grew bigger and bigger. When our little girl finally made her debut, she became the fourth generation of smart, spirited women in our family.
"You Can Do It Your Way"
Grandma was by no means traditional, and she was that way from the very beginning. She was always a liberal and a feminist and recalls infuriating her Republican parents by attending a Truman rally. She was no different when it came to birthing her babies, either.
In the 1950s, it was still common for expectant mothers to undergo what was known as "twilight sleep" (think Betty Draper in Mad Men). The drug was part morphine (for pain relief) and part scopolamine (to induce amnesia). The latter essentially erased the memory of the birth altogether. Gram was having none of that. She insisted on an unmedicated birth and was sarcastically dubbed "Mrs. Natural Childbirth" by her doctor. So, when it came to my baby's birth and pretty much any decision I made about her upbringing, I channeled my inner grandma and did it my way.
"Breast Is Best"
When Grandma became a mom, breastfeeding was in decline. In those days, most people accepted that science could produce a better way to feed babies than a mother's body. Consumers, thanks to aggressive advertisement, regarded formula as a viable and even preferable alternative to breast milk. Gram knew otherwise. She insisted on breastfeeding all three of her children. Research has proven her right.
Breastfeeding didn't come easily to me, even though I had significantly more support than my grandmother. Still, I persisted because I wanted my baby to have all the benefits breastfeeding offers. I ended up supplementing with formula (it is a viable alternative), but I fought hard to breastfeed and am proud to have done it for eight months.
"Be Active"
Grandma never let motherhood, or grandmotherhood for that matter, slow her down. As toddlers, our grandparents took us girls cross-country skiing in baby backpacks. Gram took bellydancing classes for the first time when we lived with them, and I remember the jingling of her coin belt and learning to roll my stomach. (Even post-baby, I still can. Boom. Thanks, Grandma.) Even later on, she was dedicated to exercise, from Curves to Silver Sneakers.
I'm a little on the lazy side. I like to say I'm an "indoor" kinda person. However, it's important to me to be an active mom. I was pretty impressed with myself when I strapped my little one in a baby carrier along with three other babywearing mom friends and hiked around a local canyon.
"Give Your Children Experiences"
In the gospel according to Grandma, you can spoil a child with stuff but you can't spoil them with experiences. We certainly weren't wanting for toys, but the best gifts were our adventures with our grandparents. We had season passes to the Seattle Science Center and goggled at the IMAX films. Grandma took each of us to plays, planting a love of theater in me. We saw daVinci's Codex Leicester and the King Tut exhibit.
Perhaps the best were the trips. Grandma, Grandpa, my sister, and I went on a cross-country train trip through Canada to Niagara Falls and back through the U.S. Another year, we sailed through Puget Sound. The summer before my senior year, Grandma took me to England and Wales for the trip of a lifetime.
Now, my grandparents had resources that not everyone has. Still, I love the intention behind this philosophy: making memories. My lucky little girl has gotten to visit the Grand Canyon, swim in the ocean, and feed the cows at her grandparents' ranch.
"Teach Your Children To Love Books"
Grandma was always a reader. Gifts from her were usually books, and she always seemed to know which ones would delight each of her grandkids. As an elementary school librarian, she had access to authors and my autographed books are my prized possessions. Together, she and my mom raised readers, and I'm determined to do the same.
I loved calling my grandma to tell her we got our library card in our new city. I take my daughter to story time every week. She loves the rhymes and songs. Afterward, we check out new books (returning books via the slot is the highlight of the trip). Even though it drives me crazy to have her take all her books off the shelf in her room, I love that she takes them out to "read" them to herself. Our nightly ritual of reading on mommy's lap is the best part of my day.
"Keep Your Mind Active"
As a new mom, it's easy to lose yourself in all your new duties. There's so much required of you when taking care of a baby that it really saps your physical and mental energy. Grandma is my reminder that I need to honor myself with some intellectual time. This is the woman who used to do the New York Times Crossword in pen, for goodness' sake. When my day is full of dirty diapers and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, I take time at the end of it to read, write, and ponder.
"It's Never Too Late"
When you're in the mom trenches, it's hard to feel like there will ever be a time when you get to do something for yourself. Maybe when the kids are out of the house, you think. Gram is here to tell you that it's sooner than you might suppose. As a young mom of three, Grandma both learned to drive and completed her college degree. If she can do that, then I can surely learn a bit of German or give skiing another try.
"Never Lose Your Sense of Humor"
When I was a little girl, I hit my head on the corner of Grandma's car door. It hurt, but I was most worried that it would leave a mark. When I woke up in Gram's water bed the next morning, my forehead was black and blue. She let me freak out for a few minutes before she confessed to applying eye makeup to me to make it look like a bruise. Yeah, Grandma's a minx.
In my opinion, that's the approach you have to take to sanely navigate motherhood. Teach your kids to laugh at themselves, and do that by laughing at yourself. Even on the worst days, my darling child can make me giggle, like when she scowls exactly like her daddy. Laughter really is the best medicine, and Grandma knows best.

NEWLY co-opted Sinn Féin Councillor Danny Baker says he wants to make it his priority to engage with the young people of the Colin area while working on building upon relationships in Lagmore.
The new Belfast councillor, who takes over the reins from CBS teacher David Bell, says that 2018 is already shaping up to be a busy year.
"I live in the Lagmore area so I'm well aware of the needs of residents and what is required to build on the community network," he told the Andersonstown News.
"It's time to get cracking on and I've a real hunger for working for the constituents in whatever way I can," he said.
A Sinn Féin activist since he was 17, the 35-year-old said that he plans to engage with the Department for Infrastructure for plans that would see a second entrance/exit into and out of the Lagmore estate.
"You're basically talking about 7,000 people in that one area and there is only one way in and one way out," he said.
"During busy stretches it can take up to 20 minutes to try and get out.
"Lagmore is the size of most towns and hasn't the infrastructure for such a large estate or facilities for its population, it's just not there so that is something I want to work on as the year gets underway."
Councillor Baker also stressed the need for a sports facility model akin to the recent Sally Gardens project as something the Lagmore area could benefit from.
"The Sportszone Complex at Sally Gardens is really transforming the area, it's a first class facility and is something that the residents and children of Lagmore need.
"There does need to be more resources brought into the area and that is an area I really want to focus on and work for.
"I intend to be very much 'on the doors' and listen to what people have to say, as at the end of the day I will be representing them at Council level."
Danny looks to hit the ground running at City Council

Affordable Housing Internship-LA Voice-PICO
Clegg, Michael
MetadataShow full item record
This summer I was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to work with a grassroots organization in Los Angeles. I chose to work with LA Voice PICO for two reasons: the first being that it was a faith based organization and secondly, it was close enough to use the horrible Los Angeles public transportation system. LA Voice is an interfaith community organizer and the Los Angeles affiliate of the PICO (People Improving Communities through Organizing) national network, one of the largest grassroots community organizations in the United Sates. LA Voice was officially started in 2005. Although LA Voice is a relatively small organization, its impact and influence in the city of Los Angeles is immense. One benefit of working at a small organization is that you quickly realize what the organization needs and expects from you as part of the team. I could not help organize at churches where a majority of their parishioners spoke Spanish because I was not fluent. I quickly learned that I could be very beneficial to the organization by serving as the de facto researcher. While at LA Voice I worked on three major projects. The first project was focused on the state of affordable housing in Los Angeles. The second project was dedicated to research for a Bank Accountability campaign that LA Voice is gearing up for in the near future. And the purpose of my final project was identifying progressive policies that could be implemented in Los Angeles that would lead to more affordable housing projects around Transit-oriented developments in the city.

Sign up Now... Make an Arrangement for Tonight!
You're a Guy not a Sugar Daddy...
Our arrangements are different than many. Although many people might think that a CyberDating Arrangement is really a "'Sugar Daddy // Sugar Baby", but it's not. Our members don't have to be rich and powerful men like on the sugar daddy sites. Many of our members are average guys with average incomes. They are simply guys who would prefer to spend time and money on a hookups that meets their needs instead of throwing money into relationships that don't work.
Ladies, make your spare time pay off...
At first thought it may seem creepy to offer to spend time with a guy in exchange for gifts. But if you think about it, it's kind of crazy not to.
Imagine an evening when you have nothing going on and you sit at home watching TV or surfing FaceBook. At the end of the night you've gained nothing.
Now think about the alternative.
You could go our for a nice dinner with an established guy that you select. You have some wine and some stimulating conversation for few hours. At the end of your evening you go home with him, if that was what you arranged. You get to choose if you see him again. Perhaps next time you go shopping for a new dress before dinner. You may even choose to go away for a romantic weekend with him.
It's all up to you to negotiate an arrangement that suits your needs as well as his. With a little practice you'll be able to find a date with benefits any time you want.

Don't laugh…I don't have a key to my house. I usually get in by using the garage door clicker and by leaving the door into the house from the garage unlocked. It works. Apparently it's abnormal to not have a key to your own house but for my life it's normal daily life.
Everything was fine, for two years I might add, until one day the garage door broke. Without the garage door working I couldn't get into the house. My work-around solution that had worked so well was no longer a viable option. I no longer had a way into the house.
"The gate [to heaven] is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few." (Matthew 7:14) It's hard to live the straight and narrow life that we are called to live as Christians. There's only one way to heaven and that is through a relationship with Jesus Christ. There's no work-around for having a relationship with Jesus Christ.
We try our hardest to create work-arounds, though. The "Kingdom of Self" is a big one: being a Christian but being self-reliant and focused on your wants, your needs, your abilities. Trusting in money and things to satisfy us. Always wanting more money, bigger house, nicer car, more stuff, always more, more, more. Things will never satisfy our heart, because our hearts weren't designed to be satisfied with anything less than Christ. There's no work-around for having a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. My garage door clicker instead of a house key will never suffice.
Stop and think, what does my life center around today? Does my life center around Christ, or do I fit Christ into my existing priorities? I would encourage you to pray that God would show each of us ways that we can walk better in His straight and narrow path so that we can serve within His will.
John 14:6 – Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
Colossians 3:1-3 – Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the top right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
John 15:5 – "I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing."
2 John 1:9 – Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son.
John 3:5 – Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God."
John 10:9 – I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture.
