If you own a business, using a rewards card to cover your expenses could save you a nice chunk of change since these types of cards offer rewards in categories that pertain to the business, like office supplies.
However, if you don't own a business, can you get a business credit card?
MyBankTracker explains what the process entails if you want to get a business card, but don't exactly own a business.
Business credit cards offer nice perks in the form of big sign-on bonuses and more generous reward incentives, not to mention higher credit limits.
Qualifying for one of these cards is typically dependent on your credit score and what kind of business you own, but the guidelines are pretty flexible.
Quick answer: Yes, as long as you can prove that you have a business, no matter how small.
If you're eager to start cashing in on big rewards, here's what you need to know.
Can you apply for a business card without a business?
Before you try to get a business credit card, you need to know what the bank is going to be looking for.
Specifically, the application is going to ask for your business's name and federal tax identification number.
If you own a small business, providing that information shouldn't be a problem, but what if you're not actively running a company?
The good news is that card issuers tend to be flexible about what qualifies as a business.
Chase, for example, allows you to open a business credit card as a sole proprietorship using your Social Security number. That simply means a business that's owned and operated by one person.
If you sell stuff on eBay or Etsy or you do a little freelancing outside of your regular 9 to 5 job, all of that would fall under the umbrella of a sole proprietorship. Technically, you could apply even if your business is still in the idea phase.
Your business income and credit score
You don't need to provide any financial documents for your business but you'll need to enter something for how much income it earns, even if it's "0".
At the application stage, banks typically won't ask to see proof that your business is making a profit as long as you've got a steady income and a good personal credit score.
In some cases, however, you may be asked to provide a personal guarantee, which is basically a statement saying that you, not the business, is personally liable if you default on your debt.
The one thing you don't want to do when you're answering the income question is fudge the truth since that could be construed as fraud.
If you tried to apply for a second business credit card later on or you ask for a big bump in your credit limit, that's when you'd likely need to prove what kind of money you're actually bringing in from your business.
Keep in mind that if you apply for a business credit card as a sole proprietor, the inquiry will show up on your personal credit report but the account itself would be listed on a separate business credit report.
Typically, your business credit card activity wouldn't affect your personal credit, but some banks, including Chase and Capital One, will report negative information like late payments on both your personal and business credit reports.
Read the fine print on your cardholder agreement
When issuing business credit cards, banks typically require you to agree that you'll only use the card for business-related expenses.
Chase, for example, asks you to agree during the application process to only use the card for business purposes and avoid charging personal or household expenses.
If you decide to charge something that falls outside the business scope, the bank could convert you to a personal card. In that case, you'd forfeit all the points you've earned so it pays to be aware of how you can and can't use the card.
Business credit card vs. Personal credit card
One of the biggest differences between business and personal credit cards is how the rewards are structured.
With a personal card, you might get cash back or points when you buy groceries, go out to dinner or book flights, but business cards tend to target different expenses.
The Ink Card, for example, is one of the most popular business credit cards in the game because of the rewards it offers.
There are two options to choose from: The Ink Plus Business Card, which is designed for business travelers, and Ink Cash Business Card, which pays cash back.
With Ink Plus Business Card, you get 5 points per $1 on the first $50,000 you spend at office supply stores and on cell phone, landline, Internet and cable TV services each year.
You also get 2 points per $1 on the first $50,000 spent each year at gas stations and hotels. Every other purchase pays 1 point per $1.
The Ink Cash Business Card card pays 5 percent back on the first $25,000 in purchases made at office supply stores or when you use your card to cover your phone, Internet or cable TV services.
Cardholders get 2 percent back at gas stations and restaurants, plus 1 percent back on everything else.
When you compare that to what you get with a personal rewards card, it's easy to see how wide the gap is.
The Barclaycard Arrival Plus World Elite MasterCard, for instance, pays double miles on everything you charge. If you spend $10,000 a year on the card, you'd earn 20,000 points.
Now, if you had the Ink Plus Business Card and spent $2,000 at an office supply store, $5,000 on gas and hotel stays and $3,000 on groceries, you'd earn 23,000 points instead.
You're effectively getting more mileage out of your spending by putting everything on a business credit card.
Aside from the miles, points or cash you can earn, there are also the sign-on bonuses that make business credit cards so appealing.
Right now, for example, you can get 50,000 bonus points with the Ink Plus Business Card when you spend $5,000 in the first three months. That's 10,000 points more than what you'd get with the Barclaycard Arrival Plus World Elite MasterCard.
Tip: The Ink Cash Business Card is a great pick if you want to avoid an annual fee since the Ink Plus Business Card will cost you $95 annually after the first year.
Final thoughts
So, can anyone get a business credit card? As long as you've got some type of business or plans to start one, even if it's just cutting lawns on the weekend or selling your old stuff online, then the answer is yes.
The question of whether you should get one really comes down to your motives.
If you're trying to max out your rewards points or earn more cash back, a business credit card will let you do that and then some.
On the other hand, if you struggle to pay your balances on your personal cards each month or you'd need to bend the truth to qualify, getting a business credit card may create more headaches than it's worth.

William Woods University students and professors recently judged the Kingdom Christian Academy science fair.
"I have always enjoyed science fairs, and when I was invited to help judge, I was excited to see the kids get so involved," Victoria Honigman, a biology education major from Shelbyville, Ill., said.
"I enjoyed giving those kids the fun experience they deserved, and I hope they continue to grow and ask questions about the world around
them, knowing the answers are just an experiment away."
The science fair was open to students in grades kindergarten through eighth grade, although only fifth through eighth graders were required to participate. The students were allowed to choose between performing an experiment or demonstration or researching a topic of their choice. The projects ranged from the making lip gloss from crayons to research on the dental aging of a horse.
"I found the whole experience quite enjoyable and interesting," said Jodie Dolan, a pre-vet major from Westphalia, Mo. "Hopefully the kids learned how to use their time wisely and learned a lot about the reasons why their experiments worked the way they did."
Students were judged on several criteria, including whether they could explain the science behind the experiment, whether it was a reasonable experiment for their age and the overall knowledge of the project.
This is the fourth time William Woods students have participated in judging the science fair. Dr. Joe Kyger, assistant professor of chemistry, first got involved in 2009 when a parent from Kingdom Christian Academy approached him.
"Every single person benefits from this," Kyger said. "The students get exposure as professionals, and the experience the contestants get with the judging team is a wonderful interaction."
Kyger said that it is important to participate because the college students are scientists in the eyes of the younger students.
"You can show them what they can accomplish if they apply themselves."
Interaction with the young students gave them a different perspective and an invaluable experience, and Kyger hopes to have the same opportunity at next year's science fair.
"Anytime our students can get out into the community, it's a positive experience."

For years, SAC Capital Advisors founder Steven Cohen has been the rumored target of federal insider-trading probes. Now, with the guilty pleas of two of his former traders, those investigators may be closer than ever to one of the most celebrated hedge fund managers in history.
Prosecutors are looking into trades made by the $3 billion portfolio at SAC personally overseen by Cohen, The Wall Street Journal reports; specifically, they are investigating those trades suggested to Cohen by former SAC traders Donald Longueuil and Noah Freeman, both of whom have pleaded guilty to insider-trading charges in the Justice Dept.'s ongoing probe.
In court filings, prosecutors do not say whether the ideas sent to Cohen by Longueuil and Freeman were based on confidential information, nor do they accuse either Cohen or SAC of wrongdoing. Nor do they indicate the timing of the trades or any detail at all about them. But they do cite records of trades suggested by the two men made by "the Cohen Account," known as "The Big Book" within SAC.
The disclosures, made as part of the case against Longueuil and former expert network consultant Winifred Jiau, mark the first time that the portfolio overseen by Cohen has been tied to the insider-trading investigation.
Portfolio managers at SAC are required to suggest high-conviction trades to Cohen, who speaks with portfolio managers and analysts every Sunday in advance of the trading week. Those "tips" play a major role in compensation at SAC, adding as much as 5% to their annual pay.
The evidence cited by prosecutors includes the pay stubs and tax forms of Longueuil and Freeman, as well as information about SAC itself. Prosecutors also said they have internal SAC e-mails, records and communications with or about independent analyst John Kinnucan, who made news last year when he refused to cooperate in the probe when asked by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI wanted Kinnucan to wear a wire in phone calls with SAC trader Michael Steinberg.
SAC, which denies any wrongdoing, has been subpoenaed twice in the ongoing investigation. Published reports indicate that the firm, and possibly Cohen himself, has been the target of the probe for at least two years, and was the subject of an insider-trading investigation three years ago and last year.
Longueuil and Freeman are not SAC's only links to the major case. SAC alum Richard Grodin, head of Stratix Asset Management, was also subpoenaed, and two funds managed by SAC alumni, Diamondback Capital Management and Level Global Investors, were among the four hedge funds raided by the FBI in November. Diamondback founder Richard Schimel is also Cohen's brother-in-law.
Nor are Longueuil and Freeman the only former SACers to admit wrongdoing. Richard Choo-Beng Lee, a former SAC fund manager who is a cooperating witness in the Galleon Group insider-trading case, has admitted to trading on confidential information during his time at SAC. Last month, former SAC analyst Jonathan Hollander settled Securities and Exchange Commission charges dating to his time with the hedge fund, although he did not admit any wrongdoing. Also last month, Joseph Skowron, formerly of SAC, was charged with insider-trading in 2008, by which time he was working at FrontPoint Partners.
Finally, Cohen's ex-wife accused the hedge fund honcho of insider-trading in the 1980s in a racketeering suit that has since been dismissed. And last year, an extortionist rabbi was convicted of targeting SAC by claiming a congregant had evidence of insider trading at the firm.
For its part, SAC has said it is "outraged" by the allegations against Longueuil and Freeman and said the two men were fired last year "due to poor performance."

Vanity Fair is an English novel by William Makepeace Thackeray which follows the lives of Becky Sharp and Emmy Sedley amid their friends and families during and after the Napoleonic Wars.
It was first published as a 19-volume monthly serial from 1847 to 1848, carrying the subtitle Pen and Pencil Sketches of English Society, reflecting both its satirisation of early 19th-century British society and the many illustrations drawn by Thackeray to accompany the text. It was published as a single volume in 1848 with the subtitle A Novel without a Hero, reflecting Thackeray's interest in deconstructing his era's conventions regarding literary heroism. It is sometimes considered the "principal founder" of the Victorian domestic novel.
The story is framed as a puppet play and the narrator, despite being an authorial voice, is notoriously unreliable. Late in the narrative, it is revealed that the entire account has been 2nd- or 3rd-hand gossip the writer picked up "years ago" from Lord Tapeworm, British charge d'affaires in one of the minor German states and relative of several of the other aristocrats in the story but none of the main characters: "the famous little Becky puppet", "the Amelia Doll", "the Dobbin Figure", "the Little Boys", and "the Wicked Nobleman, on which no expense has been spared".[3] Despite her many stated faults and still worse ones admitted to have been passed over in silence, Becky emerges as the "hero"—what is now called an antihero—in place of Amelia because Thackeray is able to illustrate that "the highest virtue a fictional character can possess is interest."
The serial was a popular and critical success; the novel is now considered a classic and has inspired several film adaptations. In 2003, Vanity Fair was listed at No. 122 on the BBC's The Big Read poll of the UK's best-loved books.

Orson Welles' Alter-Ego: Discovery May Rewrite Comic Book to Film History... Or Not
It's a great time to wear tights, even if Orson Welles never thought so.
Since the success of 2002's "X-Men," which both earned subtle praise from critics and grossed $157,299,717 during its theatrical run, Hollywood has cast a kinder gaze upon the superhero.
Men with capes. Women in bodysuits. Explosions, gadgets and cackling supervillains. No wonder films detailing the heroic exploits of such heroes were regarded as mere live-action versions of Saturday morning cartoons. And disregarding Tim Burton's two Batman films and the first two Superman films, superhero films were just that. Case in point: 1984's head-scratching "Supergirl," 1989's dreadful "Punisher" or 1994's never-released "Fantastic Four."
But all this changed when "X-Men" proved that such films entertain at least as well as any James Bond spy flick. Hollywood stars like Halle Berry joined real actors like Ian McKellen and made a damn good movie. Suddenly, reputable directors began unabashedly scanning the Marvel and DC universe for the next blockbuster. Most notably, "Sense and Sensibility" director Ang Lee adapted Stan Lee's "The Incredible Hulk."
This plethora of gloved, superstrong thumbs raised approvingly upward coincides neatly with a recent rumor about Orson Welles' newly uncovered plans to direct a Batman film — back in 1946.
Comic book fanboys' ill-fitting pants got a little moister when Mark Millar, a columnist at Comicbookresources.com, reported Sept. 26 that a Welles biographer had stumbled across production notes for a Batman film that never made it to celluloid. According to the article, Welles, a well-known fan of superhero radio dramas like "The Shadow" and the brains behind the infamous "War of the Worlds" hoax, had seriously considered bringing the Caped Crusader to the big screen. Allegedly, Welles had even drawn interest from major stars of the 40s, casting James Cagney as the Riddler, Basil Rathbone as the Joker and Marlene Dietrich as Catwoman.
Disputes over whether the 31-year-old Welles could play Batman and Bruce Wayne ended the production, according to the report.
Fanboys went mad, ignoring the sheer incredibility of the whole story. Linking a cinematic visionary like Welles to a cult figure like Batman is like finding out Jodie Foster was the first choice for the lead in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."
Even Harry Knowles, the mound of sweaty red hair who runs the popular website Ain't It Cool News bought the story, writing, "To think of it. ... That in all the history books on Batman, that it was never mentioned, whispered or screamed at the top of their lungs. ... I'm stunned. Stunned."
It's simple, Mr. Knowles. Like Batman himself, the story is fiction. Dead for nearly 15 years, Welles can still pull off a good hoax.
Lionel Hutton, the alleged Welles biographer whom Millar mentioned, hides from even the all-seeing eye of Google. Besides, the Riddler doesn't start trouble in Gotham City until 1948 in Detective Comics #140. And would James Cagney ever play second fiddle to Basil Rathbone?
Nonetheless, Lionel Hutton (a soundalike for "Simpsons" shyster Lionel Hutz) got the best of even the people who know Batman best. But rather than fault the fanboys' gullibility, I think the hoax's success is instead indicative of the growing acceptance of superhero cinema.
Would anyone have believed the Orson Welles-Batman story 15 years ago, back when the word "superhero" conjured up images of Adam West and Lynda Carter? It's also debatable whether Welles would be at the reigns of a Batman film had he been a promising young filmmaker now instead of 50 years ago.
Nonetheless, "Memento" director Christopher Nolan, who is alive, recently began pre-production on a fifth Batman installment. Reputable actor Christian Bale has agreed to don the cape and cowl in the lead; meanwhile, X-Woman Halle Berry is set to slink around in an unrelated Catwoman film. Countless sequels and new franchises are scheduled to wham and bam on screens for years to come.
The superhero will guard the movie theater for a while yet — no hoax, I swear.

Melatonin Supplements for Sleep
A popular dietary supplement, melatonin is claimed to treat insomnia, jet lag, and other sleep disorders. But does it actually work? Various sleep disorders do seem to improve with melatonin supplementation. However, some sleep disorders appear to be more responsive to it than others. For example, the supplement seems to be quite effective for treating circadian rhythm disorders in blind people, while it may be less effective for treating sleeping problems associated with shift work.
(For more information on this supplement, including how it is thought to work for sleep disorders, click Melatonin.)

Scotland extends a warm welcome
A new campaign is being launched by Visit Scotland to encourage more visitors to enjoy the country as a holiday destination. The campaign is focusing on the 'real people of Scotland', locals who have a passion for the country including a chef, a Loch Ness expert and a wildlife guide. Fourteen people have been chosen by the tourism board to represent their country all from different walks of life. The campaign will kick off in England before travelling to France, Spain and a variety of other European countries with high levels of tourism.
The organisers hope that the campaign will inspire tourists to come to the country following the success of last year's drive which generated around £85 million. Each of the representatives have been photographed for the 'Meet the Scots' promotion, highlighting their specific interest in the country. The group also includes Scots with passions for island hopping, food and drink and fashion, with occupations range from Duke and Duchess to barman.
Denise Hill, the Head of International Marketing for Visit Scotland states that 'Many European visitors are extremely knowledgeable about Scotland and want to experience a deeper understanding of the country and its people'. The campaign is geared to strike a chord with Europeans that are interested in learning about the history and heritage of Scotland along with tourists looking to experience the fantastic natural scenery.
Tourism is a critical part of Scotland economy, in the current financial climate it is crucial that tourism campaigns both promote and maintain Scotland place as a fantastic year round holiday destination.

Yesterday, I was on my way to the post office when I saw a car parked at the end of our lane by our farm stand. The driver's side door was open, and I could see someone sitting there. I pulled up and rolled down my window, and the woman said, "I needed you to come down the driveway just now. Could you turn off your car?"
I didn't know this woman, but when someone asks to speak to you, I do my best to do so. So I turned off the car and got out. "I'm Andi."
She told me her name and said, "I need to hug you." So I hugged her.
In the next few moments, she told me the many hard, hard things that had happened to her this year – many of which I have lived through myself – and she said, "I needed to stop here today."
I don't know what we put in our farm stand that made her feel hopeful or connected to us – the sign about how we take payment, our Little Free Library, the origami cranes that our friend Ursula made – but something there spoke to a hurting woman, and I'm hopeful that maybe a little healing came to her in that former Voting House.
People stop by our Farm Stand every day, and I never meet most of them because we manage our stand on the honor system. Some of them buy eggs and produce, some leave books or take books, some just stop to see what the little building on the side of the road is.
Books and blogs, articles and poems are like that, too. They are unstaffed gifts to the world, and so we do not always know who reads them or is helped, served, changed, taught, or even saved by them. I forget that most days when I'm frustrated by the lack of book sales or email opens, when someone's critical comment can feel like it swamps all the good things I hear.
It takes a real act of will, courage, and faith to believe that our writing matters, but here's what I know as someone who is the silent reader of most things – those posts and books, articles and poems matter in big and small ways to someone most every day I expect.
Take heart, my writer friends. . . someone may pull into the farm stand of your words and find a bit of hope for their day, and they may drive away without saying a word . . . so keep writing. . . we just never know where that hope might grow.
Have you ever been surprised at the way something you write affected someone, even if you didn't know it at the time?
Registration is still open for the newest session of Discover Your Writing Self. The course begins on January 1 and is completely FREE for all writers in all genres. Get more information and register here.

We're two weeks into our resolutions for the twelve months ahead. If by now we haven't realised the futility of not living life where we are, when we are, then we're living on another planet. Most resolutions tend to boil down to becoming incrementally better versions of our same old selves.
But travel could, maybe, make a small crack in the established order of things. Iceland and Thailand may have blown up on your Instagram feed in 2017, but this year might be about discovery. From reinvented capitals to secluded island getaways, here are some under-the-radar destinations for 2018 (some more than others).
Aysén, Patagonia
Patagonia's Perito Moreno Glacier and Torres del Paine National Park are by now well-known, but Aysén isn't yet. This remote frontier land is sparsely populated and largely unexplored. Adventurers will appreciate its dramatic landscapes: snow-capped mountains, staggering fjords and temperate rain forests. It's splendidly isolated, so you can go off the grid easily and countless adventures await. Trek the Aysén Glacier Trail, ride a horse along the Andean mountains, or kayak the Exploradores Valley's challenging rivers.
Tallinn, Estonia
Looking to escape London, Paris and Milan? Estonia's capital city looks a fairytale. Stroll past gothic architecture along the cobblestone streets of Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site dating back to the 13th century, now lined with picturesque cafés and boutiques. This year marks Tallinn's 100th anniversary of its original independence declaration from the Russian Empire, so expect celebrations throughout 2018.
Luang Prabang, Laos
Now a big dot on the radar, but here the art of slow travel is still alive and well. More tranquil than in Vietnam and Cambodia, Luang Prabang sits cosily in a valley where the Mekong and Nam Khan meet. French colonial architecture mixes it with Buddhist temples and new luxury hotels and resorts. The upcoming Rosewood Luang Prabang (opening midyear) tantalises with pavilion-style villas and luxury tents. Nearby, Vientiane's Wattay International Airport is also being expanded to accommodate more visitors, because it is Southeast Asia's new star destination. Also, be sure to check out the serene Azerai.
Pichilemu, Chile
A sleepy surf town in central Chile? Surfy and idyllic, more like. Pichilemu is proving to offer much more beyond its expansive, dark sand beaches and obliging waves. For one, artists such as Macarena Irarrazaval, Beatriz Hagel and Florencia Onetto are elevating Pichilemu as an up-and-coming art destination for locals and tourists alike. Culinary innovators like Gustavo Moreno Marquez and Javiera Valenzuela Concha of Raíces Lab are also catching the eye of gastronomes by creating sustainable menus from foraged local ingredients. Stay at Hotel Alaia in Punta de Lobos where you can take lessons from a pro and hang loose in the superb, surf-themed oceanfront suites.
Palmetto Bluff, South Carolina
If you like long-hauls and would like to experience USA today, the Carolinas are undeniably having a moment, with cultural hubs like Asheville and Charleston drawing attention of globe trotters. But this year, South Carolina's Lowcountry is on the rise, with Palmetto Bluff taking center stage. Steeped in history, rich biodiversity, and 32 miles of quiet coastline, it's considered by locals to be one of the best-kept secrets of the South. For true Southern hospitality, check into Montage Palmetto Bluff, where you can spend your days on the Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course; or at the Palmetto Bluff Shooting Club; or on an offshore excursion. Its romantic laidback luxury will make any visitor feel right at home.
Comporta, Portugal
It's a small cluster of villages on Portugal's Troia Peninsula, a coastal getaway from Lisbon and Cartagena. Whitewashed buildings with terracotta roofs and pristine beaches are bordered by rolling sand dunes, twisted cork trees and vibrant rice fields. There aren't many hotels or restaurants, which adds to Comporta's charisma, but the Sublime Comporta is a chic retreat of just 14 rooms and villas.
Botswana, Africa
Landlocked Botswana's landscape is defined by the Okavango Delta and Kalahari Desert in Southern Africa, and offers some of the most spectacular safaris on earth. Only two million inhabitants call Botswana home, making it one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world. Animals roam and rule, including elephants, giraffes, zebras, hyenas, cheetahs and more.
Cork, Ireland
Ireland's compact Cork City is giving Dublin a run for its money after reinventing itself over the past couple of years and is ready to steal the spotlight once and for all. Waterfront views, historic churches, and friendly locals make Cork a favourite spot for seasoned travellers, but it's its evolving culinary scene that will steal the spotlight for 2018. Although fiercely rooted in Irish heritage, inventive eateries and pubs in the revitalised city center are bringing a welcome diversity to Cork. Check out the likes of The Rocket Man Food Co., Miyazaki and Tequila Jack's.
Tasmania, Australia
Gaining esteem as the next cultural powerhouse. State capital Hobart is exepriencing a gastronomic renaissance, with Australian chefs highlighting the region's world-class produce. But the real draw is Tasmania's breathtaking, rugged wilderness. Journey along the weathered coastline, staggering mountains and untouched beaches. Or, explore by sea: witness the pink granite peaks of Freycinet National Park, cruise through Wineglass Bay, and spot fur seals basking on jagged cliffs.
Garzón, Uruguay
The rural region of Garzón (nicknamed Uruguay's Little Tuscany) is located in the heart of Maldonado, a 30-minute drive inland from the upscale José Ignacio seaside sanctuary. Once a ghost town, its city center received a second wind after celebrated Argentine chef Francis Mallmann opened his restaurant-hotel, El Garzón. Today, a slew of galleries, such as Galería Pueblo Garzón, display a collection of local works and artists from around the world. But its newest lure lies in the burgeoning wine region, with Bodega Garzón producing some of the top Tannat red and Albariño white wines in the world.
Talkeetna, Alaska
Smack-dab in the middle of Anchorage and Mount Denali is the small village of Talkeetna. A gateway to Alaska's famed Denali National Park, it's heaven-sent for hiking, fishing, rafting and flightseeing. In town, expect to come across a healthy mix of brewpubs and weed dispensaries sprinkled in with quirky artist studios and shops selling locally made handicrafts. For stellar views of Denali, snag a room at the rustic Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge. Summer is your best bet in terms of weather, but you can beat the crowds by planning a winter jaunt for a chance to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights.
Malawi, Africa
Another transformative experience. Although completely blocked-in by neighboring Zambia, Tanzania and Mozambique, undisturbed Malawi offers sprawling national parks paired with an endless white-sand coastline, thanks to snorkelling hot spot, Lake Malawi. This September marks the triumphant return of the Lake of Stars Festival, a three-day celebration of music, arts and culture.
Bhutan, Asia
Gross National Happiness is now mainstream, thanks to Bhutan. Visitors pay a minimum tariff of USD250 per day, which may seem steep, but the fee is all-inclusive, covering your accommodation, transportation, food, and an official guide. As a Himalayan kingdom, the local expression of Buddhist culture permeates all aspects of life. There is abundant wildlife, the bustling capital of Thimpu, and majestic cliff-side monasteries like Tiger's Nest.

The last time I had been doing something similar to this, it was when I had auditioned as part of a school choir to be part of the Children's choir in Joseph and The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. It brought back a lot of memories and the similar mixture of nerves, excitement and breakfast.
|Yes I am wearing a waistcoat, they were popular in the early '90's.
The whole event was amazing, there were 400 kids between the ages of 6 and 16 and they were all there auditioning to be in this years Panto (which is Dick Whittington Book your tickets now folks!) and there were children not just from Milton Keynes, but from the surrounding towns and villages too.
Top Ender left me (as parents weren't allowed in), and as soon as she was in the auditorium she was handed a Robinsons Search for A Star T-Shirt and took a seat waiting for the rest of the children auditioning to filter through the registration desks. I waited until the children were seated before sneaking in, and was there ready for the Head Choreographer to welcome the children and to explain what the format of the day was going to be.
Basically the format was dance, dance, dance.
When the younger/shortest children went up on to stage in groups, Top Ender saw me as she walked passed in front of where I was sitting. A cheeky grin and a sneaky wave were sent in my direction before Top Ender put her mind to the task at hand... learning the dance routine.
It has been well documented that Top Ender has the memory to rival a goldfish, and so I was a little worried about how she was going to learn a dance routine but I need not of worried. The routine was split into manageable sections and repeated time, when the new parts were added. I sat with my jaw getting closer and closer to the floor as each child on the stage not only learnt the routine, but did it with such professionalism!
I did see the dance a fair few times, and would like to show you my video of me performing the dance with Top Ender, but with auditions at Wimbledon still to take place, it might be unfair for some children to see my oh so professional performance and to learn the routine before officially being taught so I will post it after Sunday just to make sure there is no cheating!
The choreographers knew what they were looking out for and slowly I could see which children I thought would be chosen to be part of the cast of Dick Whittington. There were a few obvious dance school students with smiles pasted on to their face as they tried to keep eye contact with the choreographers on stage (and me as some seemed to think I was a judge; I felt like Simon Cowell!) and some with natural talent like Billie who at 11 already has a career in mind (Director, but she will work her way up with acting work first) and I believe that in a few years we will see some brilliant works from her!
Slowly the choreographers worked the 400 children down to the 24 successful ones and unfortunately Top Ender wasn't chosen. The Head Choreographer made sure that every child knew that their efforts had been appreciate and told all the children that her job hadn't been easy, although I know there must of been a lot of broken hearts I didn't see one child leave upset.
|The brilliant dancers you may see if you go and see the Panto!

Topic : Create your own workout plan template.
Author : Cory Davidson.
Published : Mon, Oct 07th 2019 01:05 AM.
Format : jpg/jpeg.
Without proper planning it is impossible to succeed no matter how much capital you have. On the other hand, if you have a fool-proof plan you can make a lot of money in a very short amount of time. This article will guide you through the planning process so that you can improve your chances of success.
To make a business plan template usually begins with the name and the details of the owners of the plan. This is followed by a table of contents that constitutes an executive summary, a general description of the company, the products and services the company offers, the marketing plan, the operational plan, and the management and organizational structures. These elements complete the narrative part of the business template. The financial part of the template should contain a financial statement, startup expenses and capitalization details, and a complete financial plan that encompasses the goals of the company.
First of all we need to determine what constitutes a good business plan template. Firstly it should provide information and guidelines about all the important aspects of business. If it lacks information or is not detailed enough then your company will face the consequences. Secondly, the business plan template should be completely realistic and the profit estimates should be prudent. Lastly it should teach you how to conduct research to fill in the blanks and come up with a more detailed plan.

15 Sep Top 5 Reasons To Women Choose Tubal Reversal Surgery
Many women, who underwent tubal ligation surgery when they were younger, later regret that decision. Fortunately, tubal ligation can be reversed so that women can conceive again, through modern tubal reversal surgery. Also called tubal reanastomosis, tubal reversal surgery is done to untie, reopen, or reconnect a woman's fallopian tubes so she may get pregnant. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, women younger than 30 years of age are more likely to regret having a tubal ligation procedure.
The top fertility specialists at Pacific Reproductive Center in Los Angeles share the top reasons women choose tubal reversal surgery.
Advantages over IVF
In Vitro Fertilization or IVF is often expensive with multiple cycles required for a single pregnancy. On the other hand, tubal reversal surgery is extremely effective, costs much less and gives women the ability to have multiple, natural pregnancies.
No risks or side effects
Tubal reversal surgery is safe, effective, and risk-free. There are no proven side effects if you possess good reproductive health. Factors like age, length of tubes and sperm count are typically considered before tubal ligation reversal surgery. These factors will determine success after the procedure.
Natural Conception
Tubal ligation reversal surgery gives women the ability to conceive naturally and normally. Women can conceive a baby naturally through sexual intercourse within a few months after surgery.
Tubal reversal surgery costs much less than fertility treatments such as IVF.
Better chances of pregnancy
Rapid healing and natural conception contributes to higher successful outcomes for successful pregnancies and the ability to have many subsequent pregnancies.

Social Media: What Businesses Need To Know
By: Henry Heredia
For businesses to get the most out of social media, business owners need to better understand the purpose and value of social networks. Under all of the likes, video shares, and hashtags, there exist multiple venues for humans to interact with one another and share common interests from anywhere in the world.
Community, as defined by Merriam-Webster, is a unified body of individuals with common interests, usually in a particular area. As social creatures, we instinctively surround ourselves with like-minded people, and through social media, we can create global communities that help connect individuals with common ideologies who, would have otherwise never connected.
Furthermore, mobile technology has made it so people can share their thoughts and experiences instantly, from almost anywhere. Whether your business is locally focused or a global brand, social media can garner the exact audience your company is looking for.
Global communities inspire social growth
Think about it. No matter the industry that you're in, you've probably found one or multiple groups on Facebook, multiple boards on Pinterest, to connect with or reach out to. Some groups are serious in nature, others are just for fun and entertainment, but they all share a space where like-minded people can interact.
For business, Facebook allows location targeting focused on where your company is located, whether it's an entire country, region or city. You can also refine your audience based on which people would be most interested in your business. Facebook lets one determine this by selecting interests, categories, locations, and other aspects taken directly from individual user profiles.
During the first Facebook Communities Summit, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced a change in the company's mission statement. For 10 years, Facebook's mission has been "To give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected," and Zuckerberg insists that this work will continue. But as of June 22nd, 2017, Facebook's new mission statement is to "Give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together."
This new mission statement is a clear indicator of the power of social media, Facebook in particular. During the 2016 election, many speculated that inaccurate information going viral on social networks played a role in influencing the results. With the new mission statement and updates to the resources available to community managers, Facebook (which recently surpassed 2 billion users worldwide) looks to resolve some of the problems that surged during the last election.
Leveraging social media for business
Now more than ever, consumers are using social networks in their daily lives. Through social media we become informed about current events, ask for recommendations, check reviews, and get a sense of personal engagement from our favorite brands. People want to feel connected not only with family and friends, but also with the companies that they choose to do business with. This is something that has become evident to marketers in all industries.
In the latest Social Media Marketing Industry Report, conducted by socialmediaexaminer.com, over 5,700 marketers gave insight into the evolution of social media. Social networks have seen an increase of users, and the specific interests of each user have forced social marketers to re-evaluate their methods.
In the past year, marketers have noticed a decline in their brand exposure on Facebook's news feed. Facebook's algorithm change has placed emphasis on their paid ads, so publishing content for organic reach is becoming less and less likely, making paid advertising completely necessary.
Developing a marketing campaign for doctors is different from developing a campaign for real estate professionals. You should first consider each industry, share relatable posts that interests each professional, and create content that attracts the attention of a certain professional. Through paid ads, social networks like Facebook and LinkedIn allow for highly customized campaigns directed at specific demographics.
Final thoughts
Content marketing changes almost daily, and keeping up with new resources, tools, algorithm updates, etc. is a full-time job. That's where the professionals at OMG National come in. Our dedicated staff is constantly training, learning, and updating our methods to ensure the success of our clients.
We analyze data to measure what works and what doesn't, we're constantly testing strategies and modifying campaigns when needed, and we boast an in-house team of American content creators with experience writing for multiple industries.

As you whiz down Stemmons Freeway in Dallas -- or crawl, depending on traffic -- you probably don't picture sunbathers sipping sangria back behind the giant Hilton Anatole hotel.
Its new JadeWaters resort offers an attractive, fun new hideaway in the summertime. It's only open to customers who are staying at the Hilton Anatole hotel, though that exclusivity means less-concentrated crowds.
The 1,600-room Anatole, opened in 1978, is one of Dallas's top business and conference hotels. It's known for its big private event spaces that host wedding receptions and lavish charity balls. The hotel is now attracting guests in a less formal way with JadeWaters, a 3-acre, resort-style waterpark that opened in 2016.
JadeWaters can serve as a family retreat, a romantic hideout or a beach party bonanza. If "romantic" and "resort waterpark" don't match-up with your logic, drink to this: There's a designated "adults only" area featuring a large pool with a swim up bar and in-pool cocktail tables with submerged seating (yes, you read that correctly).
Try the watermelon margarita, made from chunks of fresh watermelon that are soaked overnight in tequila. Or step into the open-air poolside spa for a scalp massage and mask or a coconut milk Foot Quench.
Your kiddos won't be left in the shallow end. A kid's concierge -- nice, right? -- hands out games, snacks and info about fun events like craft workshops, duck races and family bingo. There's also a kid's happy hour with snow cones. Both kids and adults can eat at JadeWaters Grill + Bar, which serves more sophisticated fare like ceviche with octopus and shrimp on the menu and stuff for the young at heart like funnel cake fries.
But those two 180-foot, curvy waterslides and a 7,000-square foot "activity bay" complete with basketball goals and spraying fountains means the young ones won't be worried about what mom and dad are up to. (They're in the 630-foot lazy river, most likely.)
Attendees can rent cabanas with TVs, fans and refrigerators stocked with juice and water. Some even come with rather elaborate, oversized daybeds. They cost $325 to $425 per day.
Next time you're stuck in traffic on I-35 and you look over to see the looming Anatole hotel, just think: Urban escape is an exit ramp (and the cost of a hotel room) away.
JadeWaters at Hilton Anatole hotel is located at 2201 Stemmons Freeway, Dallas. It's open Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day Weekend. Entrance to JadeWaters is included in the price of a hotel room. Customers get two wristbands for a king bed room and four for queen or double bed rooms. Up to two additional wristbands can be purchased for $25 each per day.

Neither you were your namesake, nor the other way round.
The two always splinter and divide like floodwaters must at sluice gates. You to the left and imaginary friends to the right. While the natural motion between you and those old timey ghosts split and splatter remnants of rememberances on the walls that urge you so carefully, so intentionally apart.
Pull up at the base of the neck and, every time, you'll get the roots.
A moment to consider what and where the lines and cords and wires are drawn. At just the right height, those traps will clothes-line you dead. But the ghosts wil always remain.
I have memories of bad and worse moments stuck like needles in my brain, stuck like nettles in my hands, stuffed like splinters in between the valves of my heart. Blood still flows, now more so. But up from my belly, a sickness grows out from the wrongness of it.
Broken bits and barbs come off my skin like flakes brittle and peeling from the dryness of this shifting desert. I cry tears out here, but they are solid crystaline, and they cut my eyelids as they come.
If you were what you could have been: we would have loved, would have slept under blankets of your deceptions, yes — but the trick is I'd never have known or felt the misery that comes from having been turned over in the dark.
You might have tied the strings up first, but I'd have joined you and knotted us both in so tight we'd never get loose.
But you were untethered and you slipped away like screams silent and freezing exploding into space. And I am pulled by orbits you have already escaped.
The velocity between us was not so great.
I discard the rotted scraps and the nasty images and the dirty ugly pieces you thought were left grafted like branches, like arms of trees ancient into me. And in the sleight of hand of true tejina, I returned to what I once loved, pitied, understood.
Oh Ama-sa, you call from empty hallows and holy sacred places. Oh Ama-sa, I need you.
How badly have I abandoned those calls to the cold and to the night?
Would you believe it if I said, ney promised to never leave again?
Your end, tragic passionate, will shake me the third and fourth and fifth time, all the same.
And all the chaos you create will fall like ashen cinders at my feet.
We are gods eternal, mokutan.
I am fate and you are death.
Burn bright for me as you disintegrate, and I will ever light your way back around. Fly me up on flaming wing and I will ever lift you closer to the sun.
And in the end, we always will destroy one another.
Oh, it's an unentitled crazy sad disaster, again and again.
To be sure.

You know I was a fierce proponent of ending "don't ask, don't tell" (DADT). You also know I have a soft spot for members of the military. So let me add my voice to the chorus of outrage over the booing of Stephen Hill at Thursday's GOP debate.
Rick Santorum is perpetually offensive on gay and lesbian issues, so I won't dignify his answer with a response of my own. And conservative blogger Sarah Rumpf, who was at the debate, wants everyone to know that it wasn't the crowd that booed. Just one or two people. Fine. But booing a soldier is one thing I never thought I'd hear at a Republican event.
Now that DADT is history, Hill, an active-duty member of the Army, was able to ask his question openly and with dignity. From Iraq. The least the party that has used patriotism as a cudgel against opponents could do is show respect for a man who is putting his life on the line for this nation. The least the candidates could do is condemn what happened. And, so far, they haven't even done that.
[Update 2:55 p.m.: On Fox News moments ago, Rick Santorum "condemned" the booing of Stephen Hill. According to Livewire at Talking Points Memo, the former Pennsylvania senator said, "That soldier is serving our country. I did not hear those boos. I certainly would have responded to them." Great. One down, eight to go.]
[Update 11 a.m., Sept. 24: And then there were seven. Last night, on "PoliticsNation with Al Sharpton" on MSNBC, former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson denounced the booing of Stephen Hill.
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
The booing that occurred last night at the event is not the Republican Party that I belong to. . . . If I have one regret from last evening, it's that I didn't stand up and say, 'You know, you're booing a U.S. service member who is denied being able to express his sexual preference?'
I won't give Johnson a hard time for his choice of words. His regret was heartfelt. If only he'd expressed it at the debate.]

#girlSTEM conference to connect over 800 girls with STEM mentors
May 24, 2016
On Thursday, May 26, Bucks County's 6th annual #girlSTEM Conference will connect over 800 middle and high school girls with women currently working in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). #girlSTEM is led and coordinated by the Bucks County Intermediate Unit #22, is funded through the United Way of Bucks County's Women's Initiative, and is hosted by Delaware Valley University.
Participants attend three 45-minute sessions and choose from dozens of hands-on, interactive activities. Girls will try out careers in STEM by participating in activities such as: extracting DNA from strawberries, building stable structures out of spaghetti and building prototype circuits using Arduino microprocessors. The highlight of this year's event is a helicopter landing on the quad. Girls will get to watch a MidAtlantic MedEvac full of helicopter-based nurses and paramedics land on the quad and demonstrate what they do in emergencies.
The primary reason for the conference is to increase the number of women in STEM fields. STEM jobs are often high paying and in demand. According to the White House, women in STEM jobs earn 33 percent more than those in non-STEM occupations and experience a smaller wage gap relative to men.
"STEM jobs are often male dominated," said Dr. Lindsey Sides of the Bucks County Intermediate Unit #22. " Research shows that, while women fill close to half of all jobs in the United States, they hold less than 25 percent of STEM jobs."
Results of previous conferences have been encouraging. After the 2015 #girlSTEM Conference, 99 percent of participants planned to take more STEM courses in high school; 97 percent planned to declare a STEM major in college; and 98 percent planned to pursue a STEM-related career.
The #girlSTEM Conference is made possible by the generous support of: Dow (Gold Sponsor); Bucks County Workforce Development Board, Comcast, PPL Electric Utilities, Parx Casino (Silver Sponsors); and Ann's Choice, BB&T, Huntingdon Valley Bank, and Wegmans (Bronze Sponsors).

Some officeholders in Peoria County officials are crying foul over the two referenda County Board members will consider Thursday night, claiming that both are coming up with too little discussion, too little planning and too little conversation with the affected officials.
The board will decide whether or not to put out ballot measures that would consolidate the offices of county clerk and recorder of deeds, and create a new countywide election commission that would handle all election work now done by separate city and county offices.
Here's the problem as they see it: Nobody consulted the countywide officeholders who would be affected if the referenda pass.
The office of clerk would assume new duties and lose some duties under the proposals; there would no longer be a separately elected recorder. But all nine officials elected countywide – State's Attorney Jerry Brady, Sheriff Mike McCoy, Coroner Johnna Ingersoll, Treasurer Tripp O'Connor, Auditor Carol VanWinkle, Circuit Clerk Bob Spears, Regional School Superintendent Beth Derry, Recorder Nancy Horton and Clerk Steve Sonnemaker – have signed a letter to the County Board expressing their displeasure with being kept out of the loop.
"We the county wide elected officials are deeply concerned with recent resolutions brought forth by one or more county board members concerning proposed mergers, eliminations and consolidation of duties of our elected positions.
The process by which the resolution was presented does nothing to foster good government and may erode trust within the county organization. We believe those bringing forth the resolution have not followed proper protocol by expecting their fellow board members to vote on a resolution without proper notification, or a plan of action. Without facts, and sustainable plans how can our elected representatives make logical and educated decisions on behalf of their constituents?
We believe the resolutions concerning the County Clerk, Election Commission, and Recorder of Deeds should be suspended due to the lack of meaningful and responsible discussions with regard to the inevitable disruptions of customer service that will undoubtedly occur."
The concern about what's proper here is more than just worrying about whether people raise a pinky when drinking their tea. These elected officials could see their job responsibilities radically changed – or even eliminated – based on these moves.
It doesn't seem unreasonable for them to want to know as much as possible, as soon as possible, about how this would affect them, their staffs and, ultimately, service to the taxpayer.
In an interview, Horton said she hasn't been contacted at all about the proposal and that based on the language of the resolution, the mechanics of combining her office with that of the clerk are thoroughly murky.
"The plan doesn't seem to be thought out," she told me.
Sonnemaker, likewise, described it as a slap in the face to not have been consulted before a county committee discussed the resolution.
Communication, of course, is a two-way street. Neither officeholder was unaware before that meeting of what was going on. The proposals were being talked about around the courthouse and in political circles before the county committee meetings in late July.
The recorder consolidation was talked about in depth in 2012, and was even floated when Horton was appointed to the position to finish out her late husband's term. Committee meetings have repeatedly discussed ways to streamline election operations – and how to apply the statute allowing for a single referendum – since state lawmakers passed a bill allowing it in Peoria County in 2013.
There have also been two weeks that have gone by since that committee meeting for debate, discussion and political arm-twisting. Politicians on all sides will, of course, play politics. It's their nature.
Did the two men proposing these ideas – Republican Stephen Morris on the recorder's office, Democrat Allen Mayer on the election commission – leave the existing officeholders more out of the loop than they could have? Yep. Could this have been a more harmonious process? Surely so.
But is either issue a total surprise out of left field? Not really. And was everybody going to agree on it sometime before we all grow old(er)? Fat chance.
Horton notes that ahead of the vote Thursday, "It's up to the County Board to do their due diligence and make sure they have a clear understanding of what they're informing their constituents of."
That's true if either measure makes it to the ballot, too. There are just under three months for people to educate themselves in an informed debate. Neither of these is a simple question.

Mass Effect: Andromeda comes out this week, marking the end of a long wait for fans of BioWare's sci-fi action RPG franchise. We're big fans of Mass Effect here, and have decided to celebrate the occasion by looking back at our most-loved instances from the long-running series.
Art by Benjamin Huen
Along with myself, my colleagues Beth Elderkin and James Whitbrook have both played the previous Mass Effect titles and are looking forward to exploring a whole new galaxy in the series' next game. To me, the biggest success of previous Mass Effect games was making the player feel like they were at the crux of turning points of (future) history. There was a lot of established lore and culture in the Mass Effect universe in the story of the first game and that gave the proceedings a certain amount of weight. But two of my favourite moments were the ones where it felt like my Commander Shepard was the one making decisions that would later be written about in the codex entries passed down for generations.
It isn't necessary to know anything about the older trilogy to appreciate Andromeda, but we still wanted to reminisce about the sagas of our Shepards before warping into another sector of space.
Evan Narcisse
The Conversation with Sovereign
This is the exact moment when Mass Effect stopped being another tweak-your-stats, space soldier shoot-em-up and, for me, became a story about the larger existential threat that the universe faced. Sovereign — the petrifying giant squid robot revealed as part of the race behind the Mass Effect's initial "rogue operative" storyline coming to destroy the galaxy — felt frighteningly aloof, like the voice that might come from the sole of a boot about to crush an ant. Talking with the consciousness inside of a member of the giant robot species made me feel like dealing with the Reapers would require a huge undertaking. The scope of the adventure ahead came into focus and I felt so very, very small.
The Decision on Virmire
I've written elsewhere about how deeply the plight of the Krogan race resonated with me in Mass Effect 1. Their fictional history clearly alludes to the way that non-white people were used as enslaved labour to benefit a white ruling class, and the artificially induced disease that's rendered them nearly extinct, the Genophage, can be read as a metaphor for Jim Crow, redlining and other real-world decrees meant to keep people from a specific population in a particular — usually lower — social stratum.
So, the chance to right this great wrong — curing the Genophage and letting the Krogan breed again — was a powerful goal for me. But, because of gameplay choices I made, I wasn't able to do that. Instead, after an intense argument I had to watch space racist party member Ashley kill my Krogan buddy Wrex, and wonder what kind of future would be left for the warrior race that had once saved the entire galaxy.
The Tragedy of Overlord
To this day, I hold the DLC story missions for Mass Effect 2 as a high point of what's possible when adding content to a single-player, narrative-based game. They added tonal variance to the universe and, in the case of the Kasumi mission, Stolen Memory, leavened the so-serious tone of the main game with heist-caper humour. Overlord told the story of two brothers torn apart by a rogue experiment that tried to fuse artificial and human intelligences, giving players a haunted house adventure that worked an emotional vein in a different way.
Beth Elderkin
Mordin's Swan Song
No moment brings me more joy in Mass Effect 2 than when Mordin Solus — a quick talking alien doctor you recruit for your mission against the collectors,busts out his Gilbert and Sullivan verse, joyously singing about being a "scientist Salarian" in the middle of the lab. It's one of the many reasons why his final goodbye in Mass Effect 3 is so heartbreaking. If you agree to help Mordin (rather than sabotage his cure for the Genophage, which his people inflected on the Krogan, like a dick), he gets to right the mistakes of his past, sadly sacrificing himself in the process. In his final moments, he softly sings about being "the very model of a scientist Salarian". It is a beautiful moment, but a tragic one for one of the series' most intriguing characters. Forever more, these will be the saddest seven words in Mass Effect, when Mordin tells Shepard that he has to be the one to die so that the Krogan might live: "Somebody else might have gotten it wrong."
The Al-Jilani Saga
I always play Mass Effect as a virtuous Paragon, making the best and noblest choices I can in the game's patented morality system (inspired by the light and dark side of the force morality of Bioware's Star Wars RPG series, Knights of the Old Republic). I've tried Renegade — the option of being an uncompromising arsehole/badarse — but I always end up feeling guilty about all the crappy things I'm saying and doing to my friends. However, there's one character who always brings out the villain in me: Khalisah al-Jilani, a bitchy reporter fond of harassing Commander Shepard and embellishing her stories on them. She's one of those side characters who shows up in every single game, like Conrad Verner the crazy Commander Shepard superfan, but al-Jilani is no fan of yours. She's always out to get you, even if you're doing every goddamn thing you can to save the galaxy. You can try and plead your case, show your true colours, but she'll always find a way to twist your words in her favour. She isn't just a bad person, she's a terrible reporter. That's why I punch her lights out. Every. Single. Time.
Thresher Maw vs. Reaper
This is easily one of the most badarse set pieces in the entire series. During the mission where Shepard works to cure (or sabotage) the Genophage, disaster strikes. Oh crap, here's a Reaper and it's out for blood. Humans aren't equipped with the right weapons to take them out, and Goddess knows the near-extinction Krogan aren't going to have what it takes. Luckily, Mother Nature steps in to kick its arse. In one of the tensest fight scenes of the game, if not the series, Shepard has to dodge Reaper attacks and fight scores of enemies to ring a bell summoning the the mother of all Thresher Maws — a giant, Dune-esque sandworm native to the Krogan homeworld. The Thresher rises like a phoenix from the Dust, wraps itself around the Reaper, and drags it down to Hell where it belongs. Damn, what an incredible sight! Never send a machine to do a monster's job.
James Whitbrook
The Garrus Vakarian Bromance Experience
My primary Commander Shepard, Lucas, never had the chance to romance Mass Effect's wry Turian space cop, but dammit if I didn't try anyway. A persistent party member throughout all three games, Garrus Vakarian's evolution from disgruntled security officer to sniper merc to homeworld hero is one of the most enduring character arcs of the entire series — especially if he's by your Shepard's side throughout, building a wonderful banter and rapport with the Commander.
Jokes, war story swapping, Shepard's relationship with Garrus (whether platonically as a male Commander, or romantically as a female one) is the closest thing Mass Effect can do to a buddy cop adventure. Its sweetest moment culminates in the third game, when Garrus invites you to hang out on the rafters of the Citadel space station — the hub present throughout all of the games, and where you first met Garrus back in Mass Effect — and shoot the breeze (and get some target practise in), two best friends hanging out one last time before entering the end, once and for all. Regardless of whether you were Paragon or Renegade, John or Jane, there's no Shepard without Vakarian.
Stressing Out Over the Suicide Mission
I've never been so nervous playing a video game as I was the first time I played the Suicide Mission in Mass Effect 2, the game's action epic finale where you assaulted the villain's base in a do-or-die attack. I'd done all the loyalty missions, as much side content as I could, levelled up Shepard and every party member as much as I could in preparation. I'd made my first choices, including to have Miranda Lawson, your antagonistic but trustworthy second-in-command throughout the game, lead a second fire team of party members while Shepard took the vanguard. Providing covering fire as Shepard's team enters a doorway, an unmistakable sound shattered through my TV speakers: Miranda took a bullet just as the doors closed behind us. I audibly yelped in shock — even though I didn't like her that much, I felt like I'd messed up and already gotten a party member killed. My hard work, all for nothing, and Miranda's blood on my digital hands.
Turns out, a sufficiently "loyal" Miranda — as in, you did all the side content for her throughout the game — can take a bullet in that sequence and shrug the attack off to live, unlike pretty much any other character you can select for that fire team leader role. When that appeared to be the case, my abject shock quickly gave way to several loud curses. It's a moment I'll forever remember as a testament to how much you grow to care about the motley crew Shepard builds in Mass Effect 2.
Saying Goodbye to It All With Citadel
The controversy surrounding Mass Effect 3's ending still incites fiery discussion today, five years after the fact. Its decision to rob consequence from the player in its final moments — in order to shuffle them into one of three specific choices for BioWare's mandated ending — is one thing, but many felt Mass Effect 3 also didn't do enough to give you a sufficiently fond farewell to the characters you'd fallen in love with over the entire series.
The post-release add-on Citadel provided exactly that, the final story content to be added to the game, and the last time to see these characters again. A heartwarming, self-referential character-driven piece that climaxes with a drunken party at Shepard's pad on the titular Citadel, it's a sentimental celebration of the fun and friends you'd made along the way in this long journey. It was a goodbye to the series at large as much as it was a goodbye to Mass Effect 3, and the perfect coda to a beloved saga.

Working Mom's ...
Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there!
I've been a working mom for about 5 years now and I know that the whole work-life balance notion is silly when you want to do it all by yourself. I know this to be true as I've tried the whole superwoman routine for a bit, and after a while it does start to affect your well-being and health when you're trying to keep up with the pace of everything. With a busy schedule, I guess you learn rather quickly to have realistic expectations.
So the "Million Dollar Question": If you know you can't do it all, what do you give up? I've asked random mom's and the following answers are the most common:
- Exercise
- Time with friends
- Time with spouse
- Keeping the house clean and organized
- Reading
- Hobbies
Everything other than "Keeping the house clean" are all of the things that are really important in life and are things that make us happy, fulfilled and healthy. The answer to not being able to do it all can't be not doing things that make you happy... or do you just find ways to work everything in when you can? It's a struggle for sure. Personally, when you have two toddlers, and house work slides, well let's just say my house will never be on the cover of "Better Homes and Gardens" anytime soon! ha ha. One tip I have learned is I enlist my children in clean-up time, which not only helps mommy and daddy out but teaches them to be responsible for messes they've created.
So with that said, I have tried all the above and it is a real inner battle between my "perfectionist self" and my "realistic self", talk about a tough decision? Right? My quest today is: I'm looking for suggestions, and hoping you can share some of your ideas with all the working mom's and dad's out there!
What are the things you let slide to keep your sanity as a working mom or dad?
