day fifteen
"One righteous act is endowed with a potency that can so elevate the dust as to cause it to pass beyond the heaven of heavens. It can tear every bond asunder, and hath the power to restore the force that hath spent itself and vanished…."
amy: usually, at a certain point during the Fast, i just lose my appetite. it's not so much that i am not hungry, because i am, especially around 1pm, but food looses a bit of it's appeal when you wake up in the dark to feed yourself. this year though, i've maintained my appetite for breakfast throughout, and i wonder what the reason is. nothing terribly exciting about my breakfast: toast with tart lemon curd, a handfull of almonds, at times a smoothie, a cup of coffee, egg in some form or another. it just seems the contrast of flavors keeps my taste budds engaged. so i am curious – what do you have for breakfast during the Fast?
leili: the residue of life – tests, the difficulty of human interactions, the dregs of winter – seems worst around the 2nd of march each year. i am reflecting on this "force that hath spent itself" today: just when i think i can't take more, and i feel evanescent and remote from my spiritual core, the Fast provides a structure for prayer, reflection, gratitude.
re: gratitude and righteous acts, one year during exams, a family member of mine got seriously ill. they didn't want to worry me, but I found out. a semi-random friend was nearby when he overheard what happened. he noticed i was upset, and disappeared. he came back two hours later, announcing, "We're going to Boston." he had borrowed someone's car, rearranged his exam schedule and then, despite my protestations, drove me to my home hundreds of miles away so i could be with my family. this little act that he did – an immediate, compassionate, unselfish response, without even being asked – is still inspiring to me.
leila: i love spending the day with my daughter (happy little vegemite that she is!), even though she frequently tests my love by her evening behaviours. today i am thinking about friends who are like my sisters and brothers, wishing she could know them now, and hoping that she will know them in the future. my dusk shot is part of a corner she becomes peaceful in, when i hold her. she finds the black-and-white Seyhoun captivating, and when her attention wanders, the bright primaries of the books are her next favourite eye-candies.

I have always found eating breakfast challenging, especially early in the morning. When I first started fasting at age 15 I would eat apple pie as that was the only thing that really appealed to me. Years later, one year, I joined my father, who prepared granola for the two of us. I sat there chewing and chewing, and finally announced that granola was not going to work for me. Now I start off the Fast with a banana and a glass of water, and about a week into the Fast I drop down to half a banana and water, and slowly down to just water. I find thirst more difficult to handle than hunger. Cannot even say that I am really hungry, more the fact that we one is not allowed to eat, and realizing how much time in a day is really taken up with food-related activities.
What a beautiful space! The combination of quotations, images and stories is inspiring. At the same time it feels like being in the same room. Thanks so much for doing this!
Thank you all for doing this wonderful page. Great images and stories. Has helped remind me why we fast. Thx.
i am so feeling these shots, towfighy!! they are fantastic! i esp. love the skyyyy onee…oooh lahhh lahhh
amy: love your set. two things that i really adore….polas and trees. great capture of the trees, it can be so hard to capture them right…
leila: love how your photos go so well together, the colors, the brightness, i love them.
It is truly the residue of life. It builds up until it feels almost unbearable. Every day that the Fast goes on, as much as I STILL am dying and want a chai every single morning @10 a.m., I feel much more detached from everything that was weighing on me a month ago.
amy: my breakfasts are all over the place. from forgetting to wake up; to stir-fried peppers and onions with grilled potatoes; through belgian crèpes with nutella, strawberries and banana; boring oat-meal; toast and peach and apricot preserves…
i think i figure out what i prefer having for breakfast by the last day :):):)
leili: you so perfectly captured that 'cleansing'…
loved your boston story too… although i don't think it ended well?
leila: every house should have a baby-soothing spot, ideally involving awesome art 🙂
leili: you DARE speak of Fesenjan……….. i'm going to faint :):):)
leili: TORTURE!!! 😥
amy – i love the parallel of your photos.. scatteredness, placements, movement, all of it. love love love the dusk image.
leili – i could eat the smoothy creaminess of your dawn shot and drink that blue sky to wash it down. both so lovely.
leila – i've been wondering all day why such a big scary knife with the vegemite? is that for spreading or for warding off anyone who comes near the open jar?
and i love the story behind the dusk shot. i know how precious those places are where a baby finds peace and joy. for aliyah it was the fountain in the back of the common area near the "other side" of the auditorium. for keon it is the elevator that arrives near the couches. he can stare at those flashing lights all day.
what a lovely set of photos! i love how each set has different shades of blue in them that all go together so nicely..
Funny the mention of breakfasts as this morning I could not gather myself to eat more than a bowl of rice porridge. I have been thinking about a quote from Baha'u'llah read recently:
"All praise be unto God, Who hath revealed the law of obligatory prayer as a reminder to His servants, and enjoined on them the Fast that those possessed of means may become apprised of the woes and sufferings of the destitute."
The members of our human family who subsist on the bare minimum and experience hunger daily is still overwhelmingly huge. Although I still feel so powerless to affect change in this, truly this increased awareness and sensitivity is one of the great gifts of fasting.
what a beautiful sky photo in the bottom center!

1 to 1 1/2 tablespoon of dry yeast (the little balls, usually bought in a tin)
3/4 cup of warm water
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 cup of cake flour
1 cup of bread flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon olive oil
Mix the yeast, warm water and vegan sugar together until frothy and then leave for 10 minutes. Sift the cake flour, bread flour and salt into this, mixing while you're sifting. As you start mixing, add the olive oil.
Knead the dough softly until it feels like playdough (you may need to add more flour to stop sticking). Leave to rise in a warm place (can wrap in clingwrap and place in the warmer if you don't have a lot of time). Once risen, knead down again (not too much), then roll out into your bases.

Netgear's Arlo Pro calls itself the world's most advanced 100% wire-free, HD and weatherproof smart home security camera.
This second model of the Arlo is the first weather-proof, outdoor, do-it-yourself camera on the market. Netgear followed up from their original Arlo product just days ago, when they released this product on Oct. 11.
The Arlo Pro manual doesn't venture too far away from the original model, but the company believes they have made valuable additions to the product. Just like the Arlo, the Netgear Arlo Pro for sale price comes in a wide variety of different packages, but most people choose to start with the Arlo camera 3 pack. The 3 pack is a great way to secure your home, while at the same time not having to spend a ton of money. Other Arlo Kits include:
- 1 Camera Kit – $191.49
- 1 Camera Kit with Arlo Q – $339.49
- 2 Camera Kit – $349.99
- 2 Camera Kit with Arlo Light – $499.98
- 2 Camera Kit with Netgear Orbi – $635.42
- 3 Camera Kit – $444.99
- 3 Camera Kit with Extra Battery
- 3 Camera Kit with Mount – $442.47
- 3 Camera Kit with Netgear Orbi – $772.99
- 4 Camera Kit – $529.99
- 5 Camera Kit – $734.99
- 6 Camera Kit – $949.99
- Add On Camera – $140.50
- Single Base Station – $64.95
Improvements include a rechargeable battery (the original required replaceable batteries), a micro USB charging port, a microphone and speaker for two-way communication, a new base station with a built-in siren and two USB ports, new accessories, including an Arlo Pro solar panel charging station and various stands, and a digital infrared motion sensor, which is a step up from the original Arlo's analog sensor.
These are all new technical additions, but the Netgear Arlo Pro isn't drastically different from it's original model, although the weatherproof and outdoor improvements are useful details that can help separate the Arlo from the rest of the DIY home security pack.
The Product Specs
The Arlo Pro retains the sleek, chrome white, and cylinder design that the original Arlo had. The product can be concealed discreetly, whether that means hiding it in a toddler's room or on the front porch. Thanks to swivel mounts, you can even place the Arlo Pro in difficult to reach places, like trees, so you can really have a legs up on burglars with a 360 degree view of your home. The Arlo setup is smooth and easy.
The camera is fitted with a 130° field of view, clear HD video, a smart sire, advancements in night vision and activity detection, as well as new software features that are said to enhance the mobile app experience.
It's ran via a 100% wire-free lithium ion rechargeable battery that is charged by quickly inserting it into the camera or through the optional dual-bay Arlo Pro charging station. If there is an outlet close by, then it can continuously be charged via the AC adapter that's included as well. The Arlo Pro battery life is said to last four to six months. The four to six month battery time frame is based on viewing the live feed for five minutes a day, and Netgear Arlo Pro only takes two hours to charge.
Other features include instant motion alerts via push notifications on smart apps, two-way talk features, and a passive infrared motion sensor that will detect movement at a range of up to 23 feet. The Arlo siren is 100 decibels and connects via the internet coming from the base station.
Arlo connects with IFTTT, Samsung SmartThings, and other home automation tools. Seven days of free cloud recording is provided by Netgear, and Arlo itself gives free cloud storage. Sound clips can be stored as well.
For users who want more storage a subscription option is available. Five cameras can be attached with the Arlo for no extra charge, but a subscription is also available for users who would like to go over that limit.
And in the future Arlo is looking to add smart motion recognition capability. This tool will provide machine learning algorithms in the cloud that allow it to improve how events are reported and captured. If you're not convinced, you can look at the arlo pro at costco in person and see for yourself.
Arlo Setup
- Connect base station to router and connect power
- Download the Arlo app
- Insert batteries into the cameras
- Create an Arlo account
- Click new system setup
- Select Arlo from the menu
- Wait for the app to discover your base station
- Follow the on screen instructions
- ** Sync only one camera at a time
- Bring cameras one meter away from base station before syncing
- Press sync button on the side of the base station
- Then press sync button on the top of the camera (fast blinking blue means it worked)
Pro not Perfect
The new Arlo Pro Systems (model VMS4X30) is available now starting at an MRSP in the US of $249.99, and add on cameras (VMC4030) are also available to purchase for $189.99. A two camera system can be bought for $420 and a three camera system rings in at $580.
The original Arlo and Arlo Pro are interchangeable. Existing owners can add the new products to their current base station, or they can even opt to use their old products with the new Arlo base station.
Accessories for the system are sold separately, however. The Arlo Pro charging station is $60, the rechargeable batter is $50, and the skin that protects the camera from outdoor elements is $25.
The Arlo camera has been well-reviewed, and Netgear is a good brand, but the products are rather pricey. And this large upfront price doesn't necessarily provide all encompassing home security.
With Arlo you won't be provided many of the sensors that are necessary for home safety, like smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and others. Arlo doesn't provide live monitoring of your home by professionals either.
Arlo isn't different from many of the DIY home security products that are currently on the market. These products combine push notifications with smart phone applications and they make live-video streaming quick and convenient, but they don't substitute for monitored home security.
The proper approach with an Arlo system would be to buy more cameras for fuller coverage, but the more equipment purchased, the more money will be spent.
Netgear Arlo Security System
The truth is that the fabled Netgear Arlo security system is not as all-encompassing as we're lead to believe. In fact, if your home is only secured with cameras then you are leaving yourself quite vulnerable. On top of that you are in charge of monitoring your home security all by yourself and don't have any warning if someone is actually trying to break into your house while you are away unless you are actually staring at your video feed.
We suggest opting for a home security offering that provides both monitoring from live professionals with response from emergency officials, and the modern conveniences of home automation and smart app integration.

5 Warning Signs That Your Boyfriend is a Control Freak
Showing love and being possessive are very closely related. Possessiveness is cute sometimes however when it is going overboard, it turns rapport into something ugly.
The normal over protective attitude of the boyfriend might seem sweet for you but beware, this can become something far beyond repair. I do not always blame guys for this because many girls spoil their boyfriends.
Stop your boyfriend's controlling attitude if you wish to stay happy.
1. He doesn't much like your guy friends
When a guy is being controlling, he'll start to ask information regarding all your guy friends. He'll tell you just how your friends are freaks and bad company.
He'll be angry at you should you spend time with them. Many of these are signs that his cute possessiveness is turning into an awful controlling behavior.
2. Only his choice will matter
I want you to buy this dress, I love long dresses on you, I do not like where you are working etc. If he has began to put his choice first then realize that he is trying to control you in a nice way.
You might feel good at first however you begin to notice that he's attempting to control your every move. You are a smart woman and you have no need for someone suggesting what to wear and where to visit.
You can make your personal decisions along with a relationship shouldn't suffocate people. It ought to allow them to be at liberty in their own way. Such scenarios you should not surrender and listen to what he says.
Take control and speak for the right. If you will appear as weak, he'll make the most of you.
3. Jealousy is the root of all evil
This quote is not random, it's very true. When jealousy comes between relationships, it requires away everything by using it. If you start noticing that he is getting extremely jealous of the guy friends and co-workers then take a second to investigate the problem. Attempt to tell him this attitude isn't cool.
4. You feel caged
The biggest manifestation of a controlling boyfriend is that you begin to feel caged and controlled. You lose your freedom and you are not able to do anything on your own.
You'll do stuff that he likes and you'll need his permission to complete anything. This is not a great sign. You begin to feel determined by him which hurts oneself esteem very badly.
5. Handling him rightly
If you see these signs in your boyfriend than know that is trying to manage you. You can either help yourself or worsen the problem. Keep your calm and then try to talk things by helping cover their him.
Anger and fights aren't always the solution. Lead him to understand your needs and handle the problem with love. Should you flip right into a frustrated woman, it'll only damage your relationship.
The worst aspect of controlling is that you don't understand it until it is going overboard. It's sweet and cute for the guy to be possessive and protective but controlling you emotionally is worst than physical control since it puts an individual in a condition of confusion.

Note from Steve: Not that many weeks ago I was not entirely sure what a blog was. That is to say, I am new to this. It seems as though many (most) people did not get yesterday's blog. I have no idea why as I did what I usually do and it usually works. If you missed yesterday's blog you might consider reading it first.
Scene 2. Past midnight. The anxiety I felt when I got my "Rick Nichol's here" phone call has faded. Why? Because before I did anything else I made my plan by going through the seven steps included in Part 1 of At Home.
I started by going to my computer and printing out the planning tools included in At Home — the book — from At Home Online.
Step 1 is The Consultation. Answering the questions posed in The Consultation helped me understand both my aspirations and limitations — the things I needed to factor into my party plan…like I don't have much time to pull this together, Rick needs to be out of here no later than 3 PM — 2:30 would be better (how am I supposed to know how good Rick is at food prep?), we both like green tomatoes. The result of going through The Consultation lead to my establishing my Party Parameters. (This will become very clear once you have the book and website. It is also what I plan to do on Thursday at the Free Library with an audience member.)
I went on to my Menu Plan, made my Schedule with an emphasis of doing as much ahead as I could. (Rick did not leave lots of do ahead time…but enough.) I went through the book and selected my menu. I went to my computer and printed out all of the recipes from At Home Online. With my recipes in front of me I made my Shopping List. After one very efficient trip to my local Whole Foods, I had everything I needed. Luckily a stop last Sunday at Maple Acres Farm in Plymouth Meeting netted me the green tomatoes I needed.
Back home, I unpacked and began the important step of Organizing Space. I have a very modest kitchen with little margin for disorder. I ran and unloaded the dishwasher so that I could start with an empty dishwasher. I removed everything from the counters that Rick and I would not need.
I next reviewed my Tabletop Worksheet. I made little labels for what I needed so Christina could get the tableware, plates, bowls and platters together just by using the labels. I reviewed my Bar & Beverage Worksheet put a bottle of Pinot Gris in the refrigerator.
As a final step, I used re-positionable labels — "my moveable prep" list for Rick and I. I love these labels and after my trusty kitchen tongs and favorite knife, re-positionable labels are my favorite party tool. I can post on the kitchen cabinets and on plates and platter and organize what I want to to when.
Here's my menu for Cooking with Rick Nichols:
Dilly Beans
Crisp-Roasted Garlic Parsnips
Aromatic Red Lentil Dip
Za'atar Toasted Pita
Fried Green Tomatoes with Remoulade
Celery Root & Brussels Sprout Slaw
Pumpkin Pecan Praline Ice Cream with some shortbread cookies from Metropolitan Bakery
Rosemary Lemonade
Rick will be here in about 9 hours. Read about it here…first! (Sorry Rick.)
Note: Books ship today!!!!

Associated with the beautiful feathered Norse goddess Freya, the birch was
ordained a sacred tree and enjoyed a virtuous reputation in the popular belief
of German and Slavonic people. Bringing a birch tree to the village, as a symbol
of the awakening spring, is a custom that has survived to this day – the birch
maypole can be found in many village or town squares in Germany in the spring.
Bachelors would traditionally present a decorated birch tree to their beloved –
perhaps a symbol to keep her healthy and beautiful.
Birch sap was known as a beauty and strengthening remedy to the Germans and was used against fever and stomach ailments, while a decoction of birch leaves was used to treat skin diseases and wounds. In Northern Europe and Russia, birch was known to help in weight reduction – valuable substances such vitamin C activate natural fat burning.
The flavonoids in birch, when taken internally, also detoxify and help in cell protection, by stimulating metabolic activity and transporting excess water from tissues. This diuretic effect was traditionally known as a 'spring cure'. Weleda birch products include rejuvenating spring drinks and body treatments which smooth and refine skin.

Helping small businesses start and manage Google Apps for Business
47 comments :
When will the Flexible Plan be on offer as this would be a great motivator for me to move from your basic apps plan to the business plan.ReplyDelete
I think the new Flexible Billing options are great however, I think the introduction on the user limit and thereby having to sign up for Apps for Business on 10 + users is not a great.ReplyDelete
Will you be adding an option for Google Apps authorized resellers to sell month to month. Or will this be exclusive to people buying directly from Google?ReplyDelete
Will international non-profit organisations now be eligible to non-profit edition of Google Apps? Or will you require them to pay if the organisation needs more than 10 accounts?ReplyDelete
As an authorized reseller I think this is an excellent decision!ReplyDelete
This is really great because it helps small businesses to have access to a lot of customersReplyDelete
repair appliance
Hello KB,ReplyDelete
Once the Google for Nonprofits program is available internationally later this year, all qualifying non-profits will receive up to 3,000 users for free, and with organizations over 3,000 users qualifying for a 40% discount. Please follow our Google for Nonprofits blog for further updates: http://googlefornonprofits.blogspot.com.
You say new customers will get flexible payment options, but how about existing customers (and especially those of us that have been around since 2006 when Google Apps was but a mere twinkling in Google's eyes).ReplyDelete
Thanks for increased flexibility in terms of payment plan - it's a great option and many of my clients would rather pay monthly than yearly.ReplyDelete
Ok, i'm from russia and my organization is school. I sent documents and it was rejected. Because my organization works outside us and eu. Then we organized our work proccess with 50 accs. So now i need to search other service and migrate?ReplyDelete
I think 10 users for free is fair. Google gives away so much for free (sometimes for self-serving reasons, but hey, if everyone benefits, who cares?). I found the 50 limit very generous, and will still promote Google Apps at the best email platform.ReplyDelete
One thing that is not clear. What happens to existing accounts that already have over 50 users active (300 in one case)? Do they have to start paying? or do you still respect the initial limit given (400 in the case of the company i am talking about).ReplyDelete
I think the introduction on the user limit and thereby having to sign up for Apps for Business on 10 + users is not a great. At least 15.ReplyDelete
We have registered hundreds of clients with Google Apps accounts. With the limit of 50 free users it was very easy to convince clients to try the free service, and give them the option to upgrade later. The lower limit of 10 users for free accounts will present a significant barrier.ReplyDelete
Do all users on an account have to be in the business plan? Or can we just add key personnel. Eg: Have a 15 user group with 6 on the paid plan?ReplyDelete
I understand the need to make money, but what is the purpose of limiting use to 10 users? This seems like an unnecessary change.ReplyDelete
I've tried looking at http://googlefornonprofits.blogspot.com.ReplyDelete
but google cannot find it.
Where could it be?
This is a great decision. It helps a lot to small business. Thanks for it.ReplyDelete
-Small Business IT Support
You can't mix paid and free Google Apps accounts
Only 10 users? This is a shoot in the head. I have a small hosting company and i setup Google Apps for all client's domains... but with 10 users... this is the END...ReplyDelete
What would be really great is if you were to introduce new tiered pricing options (for organizations with 20 users, $50/year is $1,000! thats a lot for a small business). I suggest up to 10 users free, up to 25 users $12.50/user/year, up to 50 users $25/user/year, over 50 users $50/user/year. That way your cost goes up as your organization grows and can afford to pay a higher price. Please consider it.ReplyDelete
$550/year (or $660/year) per domain is a lot of money to a small business that needs a mere 11 email addresses. The business I work for will open a number of new domains for some new products later this year, and there's no way we can budget over $500/year just for email at each domain. Migrating to Google Apps was a pain and now it looks like I'm going to have to do it all over again to leave the platform less than 6 months later. Very annoying.ReplyDelete
Google you need to rethink a 10 user limit. Your service is a great asset to small business but you will be doing nothing but hurting yourself with the new limit. I can no longer recommend your service to the dozens of small businesses that I service each year. I know you need money to keep it running, this is not going to help you. These businesses will grow and at some point will become paying customers. If you do this limit, you will be removing the future customer base of small businesses. I would recommend a limit of 25 which is way more reasonable and is more aligned with the size of a small business that would not have the budget to pay for a business class account.ReplyDelete
Thank you for the continued service, we were in the process of supporting 200 small farmer organisation improve their identity from gmail to organisation branded email, this cannot afford to pay for the extra accounts and they were comfortable since with 50 even though they new they would not exhaust this they had room for growth 10 on the other hand is very restricting.ReplyDelete
Our other concern is that we noted in eastern africa due to the unreliability if ISP hosted corporate email, most workers have a corporate email and a corporate dedicated gmail, e.g. me-company.gmail.com, for this kind of organisations we were advising moving to the google apps and after some time some of the successful ones with more money were even moving to the premium ones. However for the very s,mall ones with about 25 workers it will be very hard and expensive for them to enjoy the freedom google apps provided from spam and security. some of them just needed the reliability of email that gmail gives without the many other possibilities, for the sake of this that had found a perfect solution with google apps, I would plead that we keep the free at 50 with limited extras. Concerned user and advocate of google apps for small business and farmers in africa
Google, you just activated Managed Storage for Google Apps. Great.ReplyDelete
However, this extra storage cannot be used for Gmail?? Please sort this, all your clients are screaming loud to be able to buy extra managed storage and use it in Gmail for Google Apps.
Managed Storage works great in Gmail and other Google services. Just replicate the methodology in Google Apps.
We all want Managed storage for Google Apps that works also for Gmail in Google Apps.
As a free customer of google apps since well it's been so long I can't remember I have to admit that this a bad business decision. I have opened & closed several google app accounts for various reasons, but one key factor remains the same. All of my users were only using they're given business email addresses for business reasons. The calendar was great for keeping everyone updated, but things like chat, docs, and even the start page wasn't really used at all. I agree with the 25gb email limit especially for free users. I think that more research should have been done into looking at this situation and finding ways to cut without practically killing the free service.ReplyDelete
This will be a huge impact for free Apps users.ReplyDelete
I've just recently discovered how awesome Google Apps are. I'm currently in a process of switching a domain I manage to Google Apps (Standard), and so far people who participate in test are thrilled.
If limit for Standard is lowered down to 10, that means I'll have to cancel several projects I planned to switch or start on Google Apps and find an alternate solution for their collaborative needs.
Non-profits outside of US are going to be hurt a lot. If international non-profit Google Apps will be available in future, that's a good thing, but there's gonna be a period of several months when nothing's gonna be available for them. And when support finally comes, it's still a question of whether it will be available in all countries, and how're they going to be able to prove non-profit status to Google.
This is only going to serve to make Microsoft some money. Office 365 is about to become a more attractive solution.
A real shame. Google Apps are about to lose a lot of their appeal and power for small businesses of over 10 people.
Flexible plan is good news, but I believe user number reduction for Standard will reduce a number of people interested in switching.
I have the same question ? Do all users on an account have to be in the business plan?ReplyDelete
For example, a client starts with the free plan (10 users) and by the time they need one user more, ¿all the existing users have to migrate to the paid plan? Or just the extra user?
+1 for raising the 10 user free service limit to 25.ReplyDelete
The business rationale is that safely >90% groups of 10-25 users won't be able to pay the price, so they won't use it.
The 10 users free service limit will have two outcomes imho:
1. quite a significant gap in google apps new user base, from which potential customers could grow
2. impact on the small groups, until filled by another provider, which will happen sooner or later given the total group size
I don't think this is a good decision. It's too tight for small businesses, especially for those not based in the US.ReplyDelete
At least 20 email accounts should be for free.ReplyDelete
bye bye google app. 90% of all comments against change are right.ReplyDelete
Google is thinking in perspective of American Business not the entire world, do you think small business in Africa, India or China and other developing countries with 10 to 20 People could pay 1000$ just for Email solution? though Google Apps with 50 mail was generous i think google should have limitied to 20 - 25 instead of mere 10...ReplyDelete
The company which runs on quote "Don't be Evil" is slowly turning into latter now.
I think this restriction posed by the Google will allow common people who can't afford to look for other alternatives, may be Yahoo or Microsoft Hotmail would grab this as opportunity in long run...
I think google should consider 25 users instead of 10 "Don't be Evil Google"
If i have already registered with google app for business domain, limited to 50 users for free and would like to create new account (over limit: 51'st), then should i pay only for new account, or i need to pay for all 51 accounts afterthat?ReplyDelete
We won't pay because Google Apps are still just semi-finished. There are way too many loose ends and limitations to consider spending thousands of dollars a year. That's nuts!ReplyDelete
For instance, the Primary Domain can't be changed. That's because Google violated a prime directive of development -- NEVER use a user-level value as the primary key. Each customer should have a simple customer NUMBER, then be able to use/change the Primary Domain, e-mail account username, etc. Every good database application in the past 50 years has been designed this way, but Google is often ignorant of proven practices, so has screwed up big time.
If/when Google Apps achieves a professional level, it might be worth a professional price.
Microsoft's strategy was to get the world population hooked on MS Windows & MS Office; so was McDonald's with upsize meal, CocaCola's coke, and with Gmail. However the enterprise/app team rushed to monetize way too early before the start-up population is even hooked on the app suite. 0-20 staffed company is considered small start-up, below 50 is still considered small to medium sized company. The enterprise team shouldn't be worried about monetization if the apps are of good value for business users with continued support and continuous improvements. Any company that grows beyond the 50-user mark will stay with your suite (because the staffs are hooked on using Google apps, any change to system will add more cost), and will eventually advertise on AdWords when the money saved up from 11th-50th user invested back into the business to grow and eventually have budget for advertising on Google's many ad platforms.ReplyDelete
Am sure.. downgrading limit from 50 to 10, will keep 90% of the small businesses away from google apps.ReplyDelete
Now most of the shared hosting providers are offering UNLIMITED email accounts without additional charge.
Google should rethink bringing back the limit to 50 limit
I have a large family with more than 10 members and I can't even give them all an email account. :(ReplyDelete
I provide cost efficient web services and solutions and have been doing so for 6 years now. I have for the past 3 years been moving my clients to Google Apps as a reliable email service. Now that the limit of users has been decreased from 50 down to 10... I will not be able to recommend Google Apps with the vigor that I used to. I think that Google is and was generous in offering their Standard Edition of the Google Apps for free. 50 was indeed a very generous number. But to decrease it from 50 down to 10... is somewhat a large decrease. I could understand it if the limit was reduced down to say 30, or even 25... But eliminating 40 users in 1 go is a little harsh I would have to say.ReplyDelete
I would really hope that Google comes to a middle ground on this with all of us Google Apps advocates and users out there. We udnerstand that you need to monetize your services and that over 3 million businesses have moved to Google Apps... But a lot of us smaller businesses out there and smaller start up need a little more room to breathe... 50 was too much. 10 is too little.
I think the middle ground here would be around 25 users for free or with half the amount of storage they offer now for free, I was a huge Google Apps advocate but being based outside of the US and having to pay $50/yr per user, seriously breaks any of my customers budget big time, sorry Google, time to admit you screwed it big time with this limit...ReplyDelete
Too bad for this change. Developing country could not just pay 50$ per user per year, we are not using USD!!!ReplyDelete
You are not helping but destroying the world, please reconsider to give your limit at least 25-30 if you want to help.
You are giving a hand back to Yahoo or Hotmail now.
It's really appreciable message for every body thanks for sharing this information.ReplyDelete
Google is a great service. We cant everything for free. But if you can mix both paid and free accounts that's something I can use. I only need a few free accounts and several paid ones. That feature I would prefer.ReplyDelete
There are training classes for Google Apps integrators that simplify things a lot. IT Support experts are especially good in this capacity.ReplyDelete
Helping businesses?ReplyDelete
I really think that google apps is a superior productiviy software for a small busines but 600 dollars a year can be expensive for 10 emails. Small business will just use the 600 on other parts of the company and find a cheaper email solution. Google should evaluate this policy and there should be 20 emails on the free account. When the company reaches 20 employees it sounds more reasonable to pay the 1200 dollars a year, but 10 users will just make business loke somewhere else or use a gmail account which is already free.
Thanks for sharing as it is an excellent post would love to read your future post. I would also like to addReplyDelete
small business billing app is best software for small firm for accounting purpose.

We have been given a chance to work for the guys from Blinder at the new DAA Terminal 2 commercial for Dublin Airport, which opens this month, November 2010. The ad features Irish actor David Murray, making his way through the new terminal and musing on Ireland's contribution to the world.
The add was produced by Blinder and directed by Hadi. I had a chance to work with the camera dept for two days of the shooting. Great experience and hopefully more of such things will come to BigSmokeStudio :)
Some shots of the day (sorry for the quality but obviously there was no time to shoot some proper shots)
6 am on Thursday – quite a wakeup call for the start.
Shot on Panavision camera with 8583 Fuji stock.
Hej there! that's a surprise! i did'nt know you were working with them on this. Congrats! good job :)
Thanks Ania :) Yup was back in September, quite some time already.

As a university student, I hated dealing with citations.
Writing a paper was itself stressful enough, never mind the hours it could take to properly format dozens of citations in the right style.
But citations are an unavoidable fact of life for anyone doing research (that is, if you want to avoid plagiarism).
You can manually create citations, of course, but there are dozens of citation-generating tools out there ready to help save desperate researchers and college students like myself loads of time (they certainly saved my sanity more than once).
9 Best Citation Generator Tools
Citation generators take the work out of creating citations. In most cases, you just have to search your source or enter the appropriate information into the given fields, and voilà—you're presented with a perfectly crafted citation ready to be pasted into your bibliography.
We've compiled a list of 10 of the best citation-generating tools out there today, so you can spend less time formatting and more time polishing your thesis.
1. Citation Machine
As a student, Citation Machine was my go-to for research papers. It's simple, user-friendly, and has all the styles most students could need. It's also a great resource if you need to cite films or audio.
With the free version, you can:
- Add your bibliography and citations directly to your paper
- Easily create citations in Chicago, MLA, APA, and 13 other styles
- Cite 57 different types of resources (including films, podcasts, and manuscripts)

By upgrading to Premium ($9.95/month after free 3-day trial), you can also:
- Check your work for unintentional plagiarism
- Get suggestions to improve your grammar, style, and sentence structure
2. Easybib
Easybib is another very popular tool among students, although you're a bit more limited by the free version (MLA is the only available style until you register and pay for an upgrade).
With the free version, you can:
- Search for sources easily by title, author, or URL to take advantage of the auto-cite tool
- Cite over 50 types of resources (including digital images, blogs, and federal court rulings)
- Cite using the MLA style only
By upgrading to EasyBib Plus ($4.99/month after free trial), you can:
- Create citations using APA, Chicago, and over 100 other styles
- Create in-text citations and footnotes
3. Cite This For Me
Cite This For Me can help you create citations and bibliographies in APA, MLA, and Harvard formats for over 30 types of sources. The layout is pretty simple and easy to use.
With the free version, you can:
- Search for sources easily by title, author, or ISBN to use their auto-citation tool
- Export a bibliography or share it with others
- Easily create citations using MLA, APA, and Harvard styles for over 30 types of resources
By upgrading to a premium account ($15/month), you can:
- Have your paper checked for plagiarism
- Take advantage of their nifty Chrome extension, which allows you to easily create citations for whatever page you're browsing
- Create several bibliographies simultaneously
4. BibMe
BibMe is quite similar to Citation Machine in both its free and paid features.
With the free version, you can:
- Create citations in MLA, APA, and Chicago formats

OttoBib's Chrome extension is ideal for citing books—all you need is an ISBN.
It's completely free and allows you to:
- Cite books in MLA, APA, AMA, and Chicago formats

6. Zotero
Zotero is free and can be used as a browser extension or add-on for Word. You no longer have to jump from page to page to cite your sources directly in your paper!
At no cost, you can:
- Organize your research by tagging sources with keywords and saving them to collections
- Cite your sources using over 9,000 styles
- Cite directly inside a Word document or Google Doc
- Build a collaborative bibliography with others
7. Paperpile
Paperpile is another free extension for Chrome that allows users to easily search and cite books.

At no cost, Cite Fast allows you to:
- Search sources by title, author, or ISBN for automatic citations (or enter them automatically)

At no cost, users can:
- Cite 20 different types of resources through manual entry
- Easily copy and paste their citations in the proper format
Remember to Cite
Whatever your method, remember to always cite your sources for anything that isn't your original material. It's the best way to avoid plagiarism, and with great tools like these, it doesn't have to be complicated!

No need to deal with the embassy. We do it for you so you don't lose valuable time
Present your Passport and the Document we provide upon entry to destination country
Learn More: eVisitor
The e-Visitor system was introduced in 2008 and provides authorization for entry into Australia - it is electronically linked to your passport. While checking in at the airport for your Australian-bound flight, the check-in staff can electronically confirm that you have authority to board the flight to Australia. This Australian e-Visitor is available to citizens of over 50 countries.
The e-Visitor is an electronically-stored authority for travel to Australia on short-term tourist or business visits. It replaces the visa label or stamp in a passport and cuts out the old requirement of visiting an Australian Embassy.
The Australian ETA allows the holder to travel to Australia as many times as desired within the validity period which is 1 year after arrival. The maximum length of each visit is 90 days Per Entry.
REMINDER: The Australian Government announced on March the 12th that foreign nationals will not be allowed to enter Australia for 14 days from the time they have left or transited through: mainland China, Iran, Republic of Korea or Italy. This measure does not apply to Australian citizens and permanent residents. However, it is recommended self-isolation for 14 days.
Our customers have great stories about us
Frequently Asked Questions
The eVisitor Visa is a new travel visa available to European Union passport holders who wish to travel to Australia. It is designed to streamline the online visa application system for travelers from the EU.
IMPORTANT: You must be outside Australia when you apply. It is advised not to make any travel arrangements until you receive your eVisa.
The Australia eVisitor is free. Additionally, iVisa charges a service fee with costs that vary according to the processing time selected:
1. Standard Processing Time - USD 20.00: 1 Business Day
2. Rush Processing - USD 50.00: 0 minutes
3. Super Rush Processing - USD 70.00: 0 minutes
It depends on the method of processing time you chose. We offer three options:
1. Standard Processing Time: 1 Business Day
2. Rush Processing: 0 minutes
3. Super Rush Processing: 0 minutes
The validity of the Australia eVisitor starts the day it is granted. As this is a multiple entry visa, it is valid up to 1 year after arrival, which means you can enter to Australia as many times you want during the 1 year after arrival period and stay for up to 90 days Per Entry
There are a total of 4 conditions all applicants must meet:
1. Business visitor activity: This means that you are not allowed to engage in any work other than a business visitor activity during your stay in Australia.
2. Maximum three months study: While in Australia, the holder must not engage, for more than three months, in any activity regarding studies or training.
3. Tuberculosis free: The visa holder must be free of tuberculosis at the time of travel to, and entry into Australia.
4. No criminal conditions: The visa holder cannot have any criminal convictions, for which the sentence (whether served or not) is for a total period of 12 months or more, at the time of travel to, and entry into Australia.
The following is a list of countries eligible for the Australia eVisitor: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Republic of San Marino, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom- British Citizen, Vatican City.
The maximum stay allowed is 90 days Per Entry, and the eVisitor visa itself will be valid for up to 1 year after arrival.
There is no minimum passport validity required to enter Australia. You must have a valid passport and valid visa when you board your flight and when you enter Australia.
You can't stay in Australia longer by extending the eVisitor. You must apply for a new visa if you want to stay longer.
Your eVisitor lets you travel for both tourism and business purposes. If you are travelling as a tourist visitor, this visa allows you to cruise or spend a holiday visiting your family or friends. If you are travelling for purposes related to business, this visa allows you to make general business or employment enquiries, investigate, negotiate, enter into or review a business contract, conduct activities as part of an official government visit, take part in a conference, trade fair or seminar, as long as the organizers don't offer to pay for your trip.
You can study for up to 3 consecutive months in total on this visa. But if your main reason for travelling to Australia is study, a student visa might be more appropriate.
In general, eVisitor Australia Visa holders can not work in Australia.
However, you might be able to work as a volunteer if:
Your main purpose in visiting Australia is tourism and the voluntary work is incidental to tourism.
The work is genuinely voluntary and you are not paid for it, other than for meals and accommodation.
The work would not otherwise be done in return for wages by an Australian resident.
If you have a criminal record, you will have to contact your local Australian Embassy in order to apply for a visa.
Yellow Fever vaccine is required if traveling from a country with risk of yellow fever transmission.

Australia is the sixth largest country in the world, but only the south and south-east are highly urbanized. Against popular misconception, it is not all hot. Only northern Australia has a tropical climate. The south and south-east are sub-tropical and temperate. Australia's natural wonders are what make it famous, and if you plan a trip there, you will not be disappointed. Plus, not everything is trying to kill you as the internet would suggest.
First of all, let's talk about visa policy so that we can go to more fun aspects of Australia. What you should know is that most nationalities are required to pay a visit to the nearest Australian embassy to apply for a visa. However, there are a few others that have it easier. Australia's visa policy suffered some changes in the last couple of years. With that change came the Australia eVisitor and the Electronic Travel Authorization. You can use iVisa's Visa Checker Tool to see if you qualify for either of them.
Keep in mind that some nationalities qualify for both the eVisitor and the ETA. If that is the case for you, it is up to you which one you go for. Although the ETA is cheaper, and the processing time is shorter. Even so, the choice is yours. Both documents allow you to stay in Australia for up to 3 months per visit, and you can enter the country multiple times in the 1 year of validity.
At the same time, you should know that Australia has rigorous quarantine requirements when it comes to vegetable and animal-derived products. That is because they have a clean biosphere which they plan to keep that way. It is best if you avoid traveling with such products. It can cause trouble at immigration.
Getting inside Australia can be done by plane or boat but getting around the country is way easier. Trains, buses, car rentals, etc. are all available for you to enjoy and explore the state. If you leave the urbanized area in the south and south-east, it can be hours until you reach another city, so make sure to prepare accordingly for that. A tourism information bureau can get you up to speed with the basics.
As for what you can enjoy in Australia, the list is long, and chances are that you are not going to be able to do everything you want. Even so, we recommend that you start with wildlife. There is a zoo in every major city, but tourists tend to wish to see wild animals more. You will not see any of them in the city, but the outskirts always have something to show.
As you can imagine, you can see kangaroos and koalas. Wombats and wallabies. Emus and platypuses. And more. However, while it is very tempting to interact with these animals, we strongly suggest that you do not. Koalas are cute, but they are territorial, and they can do some damage if provoked. Not to mention kangaroos. They are strong creatures that can kill a person if provoked. You should just admire them from a safe distance, and nobody will get hurt.
Apart from the wildlife in Australia, you can enjoy some landmarks as well. As you can imagine, the Opera House in Sydney is iconic, so you cannot miss it. You cannot miss the Sydney Harbor Bridge either. Or the Uluru in the red center.
Leaving the 'seeing' part aside, Australia is also a place for adventure seekers. You can surf on one of the many endless sandy beaches. Swimming is also a very tempting activity, especially because of the beautiful sights and the perfect water temperature. Of course, you can go snorkeling and diving. After all, Australia has the Great Barrier Reef. All water sports are available as well.
If you want to get out of the water, you can go mountain climbing, biking, sky diving, hot air ballooning, or you can try something that is called bushwalking. It is a very popular activity in Australia. Since there several national parks and rainforests in the country, you can pick your location. Just make sure that you are not going alone. The rainforests in Australia hide a few secrets that only an experienced hiker or a tourist guide will know.
As far as food and drink are concerned, Australia is a first-world country, so you can draw your conclusions from there. You will fain many available cuisines, but you may be interested in trying something local. If you are not squeamish, you may try kangaroo meat, which can be found even in supermarkets and butcher shops. Crocodile meat is also a thing, and if you want to see what a big chicken tastes like, you can go for an emu dish.
The drinking age in Australia is 18, so it is illegal to purchase if you are not of age. The tap water is not always safe to drink, but there is usually a sign above it to tell you whether or not you can drink it.
When it comes to safety, there are several things you should take into consideration. But it is not what you think. Crime in Australia is low compared to other first-world countries. It is nature you have to be careful about. Venomous creatures such as snakes and spiders are something to look for. When you get in the water, you need to be careful not to swim in an area with jellyfish. Dangerous flora also exists in Australia. If you plan to go bushwalking in the rainforest, mind the Gympie bush. It is called the stinging tree for a reason. It has microscopic hairs that if you touch, you can be in pain for weeks. Google it and print out a photo. You do not want it anywhere around you.
Nevertheless, as long as you are cautious, your trip to Australia should be as pleasant as possible. And the most important advice we can give you is to wear sunscreen at all times. Every single time you get out of the house/hotel room. The sun burns hot in Australia, and there are more victims of the sun than they are of the venomous creatures we mentioned above.
Needless to say, a trip to Australia will be more than pleasant. You can enjoy many things there, from sightseeing to fun activities. The country is a beautiful place to spend your vacation with your kids since the amenities allow it. The food is excellent, the people are friendly and very hard to offend, and it is most likely that you will make a lot of friends. A lot of unforgettable memories too. The beaches, the mountains, and the wildlife make for a wonderful vacation.

We know that our applicants can come across unexpected changes in their travel plans that may prevent them from traveling and therefore getting their visa. This is why we understand you may want to request a cancellation of your visa application and a credit for the amount paid. However, we will only approve the refund/credit if it follows our Refund policy guideline:
- If your application has not been reviewed by our team, nor submitted to the government for approval, then you will receive a credit for the full amount of the iVisa processing fee and government fee(visa cost).
- If your application has been reviewed by our team but has not yet been submitted to the government for approval, you will receive a credit for the full amount of the government fee (visa cost).
- If your application has been submitted to the government for approval or a visa is already issued, unfortunately, no credit is available.
Our policy also applies to these circumstances:
- If we make a mistake on your application, a 100% refund of the iVisa processing fee will be issued and we will process your visa again at no cost.
- If you purchase rush or super rush processing additional fee and we do not deliver the travel document within the agreed timeframe, you will receive a credit for the iVisa rush or super rush processing fee.
- If you miss your trip because iVisa does not deliver the travel document within the agreed timeframe, you will receive a full cash refund for the government fee and iVisa processing fee.
- The exception to the clause above is if the government is the cause of the delay or your arrival date was sooner than our super rush processing time. In such case, you will receive a credit for the iVisa processing fee.
If for any reason, you are not satisfied with our services, please feel free to contact us. Under reasonable circumstances, we will grant a credit of the iVisa processing fee to be used for a future order.
When the visa has to be shipped to you, the processing times do not include this shipping time. It is from when we receive your application to obtaining the approval. Most visas (e-Visas) are sent via email upon approval so shipping times will not apply.
No, we are not affiliated with any government agencies. We are a private company that specializes in processing travel visas for travelers worldwide.
Unfortunately, we are not able to, since the government agencies do not inform us of the reason(s) behind the decisions.
If your visa is not approved, we advise that you contact the nearest embassy/consulate for more information on what your options are.
We accept Visa, Master Card, American Express, and PayPal.

The Christmas season is definitely a time to stay organized especially as it can be so hectic for many! Todays post is a breakdown of our favourite Apps for the Holidays!
Apparently, Dec 11th 2017 was National App day..so this post was meant to go up then, but it is going up today due to technical difficulties!! Better late than never right?
Here is a breakdown of our top 5 Apps for Holidays! Each of these should help in being more productive in this season.
Santa's Bag
Santa's Bag is a smart shopping list manager with a Christmas twist. The app allows you to import recipients directly from your contact list. You can also set budgets, plan gifts, create wishlists & shopping lists, track progress, share – and so much more. I am OCD when it comes to planning christmas gifts and this app literally makes the process so much easier.
Any. Do
Any.Do is the ultimate to do list app. It is an essential organizational tool that allows you to get more done by making lists and scheduling tasks. It also integrates seamlessly with your Google calendar and iCloud! You can schedule holiday parties, make lists and set alarms and reminders so you never forget a thing during the busy holiday season.
This is a great app to use if you plan on travelling this season. With Kayak, you can search the best deals for airfare. The app compares prices from over a 100 sources helping you find the best deal possible.
Just Landed
This is another great travel app for those who are expecting guests. The app tells you when a flight has landed and sends you an alert, letting you know when its time to go and pick up your guests. It also gives you information about the terminal, the gate and baggage claim information.
The Find
I haven't used this app personally, but it is supposed to help you save money when it comes to christmas shopping- or shopping in general. With this app, you can scan a barcode and it gives you the price of an item or comparable items at other stores in the area you are in.
If you've tried any of these out, let us know! Also are there any other great apps for the holidays that you would recommend for the season? Leave a comment below and let us know!

Luxury casino resorts offer an appealing atmosphere for many and they have become top destinations around the globe. In London, there are number of luxury resorts where one will want to dress to the nines when they hit the casino floor or enjoy an evening of dining and dancing. While most casinos do not have dress codes, some of the more prestigious gambling locations in London may require certain clothes to be worn by patrons. This is done to keep up appearances and make sure the casino maintains its luxury status.
Casino Dress Codes
The majority of casinos that are operating will have a casual environment where players can wear just about anything. However, there are some luxury resorts that will have a dress code and tis is often in effect in the evening hours and in high roller locations in the casino. If a luxury casino resort does have a dress code, ladies will have to wear gowns or suits and the men will have to wear collared shirts and at least a sports jacket. In some of the more popular high roller rooms in London, it is common to see men in tuxedos and ladies wandering the gaming floor in evening gowns.
While outfits are not always required, many people who pay a visit to a luxury resort in London will want to dress the part. This is a luxurious experience and when gambling, there are quite a few high rollers. Having the perfect outfit will allow visitors to fit in and play the role of one living in the lap of luxury.
While an experience in a luxury casino resort is one that will always be remembered, not all gamblers will want to deal with dress codes or having to wear the best outfits. There are many casual settings in London where one can engage in exciting casino action and there are also many top rated and trusted online casinos, such as Casumo, where players can enjoy the best games from the comforts of home. With this option, players can set their own dress codes and still enjoy a thrilling and rewarding gambling experience playing some of the best games in the entire industry.
Top Luxury Casino Resorts in London
One of the most luxurious casino settings in all of London is the exclusive Les Ambassadeurs. This gambling club has an amazing view of Hyde Park and offers a stunning interior. At this casino, one will often find celebrity gamblers playing at the tables and there are also luxury private rooms for those that wish to host their own games of poker. Casual dress is seldom seen at this location and men will almost always be wearing suits with ties and the ladies don beautiful gowns and dresses.
The Ritz Club in London is another well known luxury resort and here, there is a states dress code. All gentlemen must be wearing a jacket and a shirt with a collar. No sneakers or sport clothes will be allowed on the gaming floor. The Ritz Club is a high stakes club that is for members only and it is located in the basement of the Ritz London. Here, one will find an open gaming salon that offers domed ceilings and discrete private rooms for those that are the cream of the crop.
Crockfords is another top rated luxury casino that offers an exclusive gambling environment. Since the casino prides itself on being luxurious, there is a strict dress code in place and all visitors must be wearing formal wear.

The collections of Berlin fashion designer Sonja Litichevskaya are inspired by Russian avant-garde/constructivism and perestroika art.
These two epochs are particularly interesting because both manifested the radical change in culture - in fine arts, theatre, architecture and music.
Sonja was born in Moscow, the city, where both cultural trends had their highest manifestations.
Constructivism was the epoch of so-called "Industrial Arts". Ideologists of this movement inspired artists to create "consciously usable things"/ they were dreaming of harmonious person, using comfortable things and living in a comfortable city.
Based on constructivists design new types of tableware, armatures and furniture which were easy to handle were created for factory mass production.
Constructivism was the time of contemporary fashion"s birth.
Working woman had to wear comfortable dresses, trousers and overalls. Many constructivists, the most famous Varvara Stepanova and Liubov Popova, were designing clothes and textiles. Textile design was inspired by the new Soviet world - new symbols of the time were airplanes, tractors, sportsmen or geometric figures.
Perestroika art was also innovative in all types of art. The air of freedom and contacts with western culture, which were forbidden before, created a real breakthrough in visual arts, literature, rock music, film and fashion.
During Perestroika many visual artists were also rock musicians.
Particularly and remarkable is the synthesis of the elements of both styles used in the collections - 80s cuts, leather, applications and prints, such as geometric figures or slogans, inspired by the textile and poster art of the 1920s and by perestroika artists.
Typical style elements of both cultural movements are combined - constructivism and perestroika - in order to create a new, innovative style.
This is a collection for young people, who are also living in the time of radical changes - new political situations in the world, new technological and economical developments.
Jackets have typical 80s cut, as for example metallic blue leather, applications and prints on the jackets are geometric figures, inspired by abstract paintings and posters of constructivism.
Overall reminds workers overalls of 1920 - 1930s, but it is made of high quality wool, which again corresponds with the fashion trends of the 1980s.
Prints on the outfits are inspired by textile and posters of the 1920s as well as perestroika artists.
Some of the prints motifs are symbolic - white star - symbol of the future and hope, or arrows and lightnings - symbols of rapid changes.

When we are first-time expecting mothers, we are usually a bit nervous about not forgetting anything that may make the birth-day perfect!
We actually focus so much on the birth-day that we tend to forget to get ready for what's coming next. Who can get ready for that anyway, right? Well here are 15 things I did -and some of them I simply regret not having done- that may turn the birth and postnatal period into a smoother and more enjoyable experience. They will surely give you more time and energy to better bond with your baby:
1. A birth plan. Of course you can't control a birth! Obviously not. And that's why at the beginning I was skeptic about this point; but when I ended up writing a birth plan with my husband, it allowed us both to check on our options, ask questions to our doula and doctor and be informed on what possibilities were available if things didn't go as we were planning and dreaming. At the moment of the birth, decision-making became easier since we were well informed. I handed a copy of the birth plan to the nurse at the hospital. I made it as precise as I could. From things like: "Don't talk to me but to my husband in case you have any question", or, "I want the light half off", "the possibility to get up from my bed and walk", "please cut the umbilical cord after it has stopped pulsating", etc. etc. Imagine to have to say all your preferences while you are pushing or in the middle of your idyllic affair with your cutie. No way. Besides, a birth plan is a fantastic way of visualizing your birth. –The birth plan I made and used is in our program Blooming Together. You can use it just as a reference to write your own. It's an excellent way to ease the communication with your birthing team you will be surprised how seriously doctors and nurses take every point of it.
2. Consciously choose who will be present during the birth. This seems obvious, but sometimes we forget. Maybe your mother wants to be present or your sister, and that stresses you. Or you want a special friend to support you and not family. Be clear, with no pity. You have to be as comfortable and emotionally relaxed as you can. Don't negotiate this. Go for it as you wish to have it.
3. Know that you will be delivering the placenta just after giving birth. My doula only talked of it as a detail not to be too concerned about. And it's true, nothing to be worried about; but for me it was completely unexpected and quite uncomfortable. So if you are a first time mom know that you will have the placenta (weighting in between 1 to 2 kilos), coming out your birth canal just after your baby. Just relax so the doctor can pull it out smoothly.
4. Placenta. What are you doing with your placenta? Well, if you are going to ingest it in any form, pills, food, etc. (It may sound disgusting to many, but know that the placenta is one of the most nourishing organs that exist, why waist all that power?), be sure to have an ice-box with some ice and have a plan of where you will take it after. And write it in your birth plan so the nurses know what you want and what to do.
5. Have a postpartum snack ready. Just after the birth I was really hungry and had planned no food for that moment. The nurse kindly brought me hospital food…no way. My friend Aerin had to run to the grocery store to buy some snacks. They felt so good… Prepare revitalizing food so you can nourish yourself just after the birth without having your family to rush or you to starve.
6. Plan ahead for your postnatal home team, the people that will help you after the birth once in the house. Your mother, or sister, or cousin or best friends. Believe me, at one point you won't have time to even take a shower. It's better to plan and schedule with them and cancel the appointment if you feel you don't need them, than finding yourself alone, depressed and tired, with your husband working and no one to help you. Take at least 40 days to nourish yourself and keep it easy. And the advice that we almost never follow: Sleep when your baby sleeps so you can be in better shape. Do it, it will make a difference.
7. Take a breastfeeding class or talk to your doula so you can learn what to do when milk doesn't come out or it engorges and your breast are hurting. And plan a breastfeeding healthy diet so your body can keep up with all the energy it needs.
8. Prepare food beforehand and store it in the fridge so for the first two weeks after the birth you and your partner don't have to cook. Just heat and eat!
9. When you buy the diapers before the birth, also buy super big pads for you. You will have a bit of bleeding and that is something you almost never plan.
10. Do some shoulder stretching a few times a day. You will be carrying your baby a lot and your back tends to start to slouch. To avoid this do some shoulder stretching every morning, and evening. (Little video on this in our next blogs).
11. Buy that changing table, it will protect your back in the long term. (There are great second hand choices, don't let the money stop you on this).
12. Learn to relax. You will need this most of all once you give birth. For this, you can check our weekly meditations. We have a postpartum meditation to help you recover from the exhaustion after the birth. Check it out at Blooming Together.
13. Check if you have postpartum depression. I am not talking about "postpartum blues" that is short and common, around 85% of mothers suffer from it after the birth. The "blues" can cause mood changes, irritability, anxiety, confusion, crying, and changes in your appetite. Postpartum blues usually last from 2 to 14 days.
The postpartum depression on the other hand can last months, can be emotionally debilitating and have lasting effects on mother and baby. So be aware, if you have a family history of depression, financial problems or no support from your partner or family members, you should talk to your doctor to follow up in your emotional mood changes after the birth. This can make a whole difference in how you experience the first year of motherhood.
14. Be easy with yourself concerning sex, you may not feel like being with your partner the weeks or first months after the birth. It's normal, explain it clearly to your partner in a loving way, he will understand. Do create space and time to share together in other ways. We often overlook this and focus only on the baby, and the relationship may end up being affected. The consequences may be seen a year or two later. Being aware will allow you to make better decisions.
15. A very practical tip: keep the receipt of every purchase you make, so you are able to return any of the baby and mommy stuff you will be buying, if you end up not needing it .
Is there anything that you are doing or planning to do after your birth that you would like to share? Write it in the comments below!
That's all for now. We will be going deeper on all these points in our next videos and blogs, so make sure to sign for our newsletter in the box below, if you want to receive it directly in your inbox.
❤ Thank you for reading. We wish you a wonderful birth and a very happy first year of motherhood.
