In the summertime, one of the things that we like most is being able to spend time outside with friends and family. Entertaining can become a staple of your summertime activities and it can lead to a ton of fun and memories that will last you a lifetime.
But there are certain things that you should be doing to amplify the fun and try to mitigate things like the heat, which can take the fun out of a summertime soirée. Try a few of these suggestions and you will enjoy some of the best outdoor outings that you have ever had.
Focus on Comfort
Most outdoor furniture is made from materials like plastic, metal, or wicker and can be incredibly uncomfortable if left on its own. That is why it is so important to add some padding to any of your outdoor furniture.
When you add comfortable cushions to your outdoor furniture, it gives your guests all the more incentive to stay where they are and continue with the laughs and the stories. If that furniture is not comfortable, you may notice your guests getting up from the table all the more quickly.
Keep Your Menu Simple
It can certainly be fun and a change of pace to have a meal outdoors. After all, you get the fresh air, the sunshine, friends and family sitting around and enjoying each other's company, and all the perks of eating outdoors.
But because of the change in setting, it is important to keep your menu as simple as possible. No one wants to slave over a hot stove only to go outside into the sweltering heat. Stick with burgers and hot dogs for your meats, maybe a platter of fresh fruit to keep things like and fresh. The point is to be outside with friends and family, not about the food.
Create a Mobile Drink Cart
One of the essentials needed on a hot summer day is hydration. Having a good, cool, fresh drink in your hand can make the sun seem less oppressive and amplify the overall outdoor experience.
Create a mobile bar of sorts. Stock it with glasses, ice, a cocktail shaker, and any of the essentials that you may need to keep everyone as hydrated as possible and enjoying their drinks. This way, you can simply roll it into the kitchen to keep it well-stocked without having to do much work.

Substances produced by a harmful bacterium in the lungs of cystic fibrosis patients may enhance the growth of other bacteria that, in turn, inhibit the harmful bacterium's biofilm, according to new research published in PLOS Pathogens.
Most people with cystic fibrosis develop lung infections that involve multiple species of microbes. These microbes adhere to each other and to the walls of the airway in structures known as biofilms. A biofilm bacterium known as Pseudomonas aeruginosa can cause devastating symptoms, but recent studies suggest that other bacteria known as streptococci might inhibit P. aeruginosa and improve lung function.
To better understand the role of streptococci in cystic fibrosis, Jessica Scoffield of the University of Alabama at Birmingham and colleagues grew several biofilms in dishes and in fruit flies. Each biofilm consisted of a P. aeruginosa strain and a streptococcus strain. The researchers used molecular and microscopy techniques to observe interactions between the bacteria.
The scientists found that a carbohydrate substance known as alginate, produced by a particular strain of P. aeruginosa known as FRD1, promotes the biofilm of the streptococcus species Streptococcus parasanguinis. At the same time, biofilm formation by S. parasanguinis restricts biofilm formation by P. aeruginosa -- in line with previous studies.
The team also found evidence that molecules known as adhesins, which are produced by S. parasanguinis, play an important role in this process. Adhesins help cells stick together in a biofilm or attach to surfaces, and they appear to be necessary for enhanced biofilm formation by S. parasanguinis in the presence of alginate.
These findings suggest a potential mechanism by which S. parasanguinis, which is normally found on the surface of teeth, might colonize the lungs of a cystic fibrosis patient and inhibit P. aeruginosa. Further studies of this interaction could provide clues for the development of new treatments to combat P. aeruginosa infection.

The Press Secretary to the Speaker, Kufre Okon, was manhandled by Victor Udofia, while his phone was snatched from him and smashed by Idongesit Ituen.
As at press time, they had locked themselves inside the complex and no one seems to know what is going on.

A typical monospaced font, 5x7. Somewhat, 80s style.
This is another clone of Monkey (my monospace lanky font); it should be very similar to the original except for the lower x-height and the added accented characters (More Latin/Latin-1, Latin Extended A, Latin Extended B, and now Even More Latin/Latin Extended Additional). It is 16 blocks tall and 6 blocks wide; all letters without diacritics are at most 9 above the baseline and at most 3 below, but the accents push the height of a letter up by 3 blocks (or rarely 4), and the box drawing characters extend even higher, to 16 blocks from descender to the highest point. This font uses the FontStruct 2x2 filter method with plenty of composite and stacked bricks, which lets the curves look good at large sizes while remaining sharp on the screen at normal sizes. Mandrill will look strange in the FontStruct preview if you zoom in or out, but if you download it, it will look sharp at size 16 or 12 (depending on the program).This is a clone of Monkey
Monospace version of Interface.This is a clone of Interface
A typeface designed to be ideal for coding applications. This typeface aims to be a simple pixel font that can both easily be read at small sizes and also look classy at the same time. Each character is designed to have its own unique shape to avoid confusing one character with another (something I found to be a common issue with most pixel fonts).This is a clone

I proved vacuum at the vg2 by pulling the vacuum switch out which turns the pump on and then will build vacuum again when the switch is replaced shutting down as expected. For that reason I feel the duck bills are ok, am I correct in assuming that? There is no visible clog at the head. What would you check next?

Vienna Woods and Mayerling Half-Day Tour from Vienna

Discover the historical and magical Vienna Woods on this half-day tour from Vienna. Explore the Mayerling hunting lodge, visit the Cistercian…
Was picked up from hotel by minibus and taken to another meeting point where transferred to a coach... which took us to the final departure point, where most people had to transfer to yet another coach! The drive was quite interesting. There was just about enough time at the convent. At the monastery we had to stay as a group, which meant I couldn't shoot off to take a photo opportunity I'd noticed as we drove up to the monastery. An interesting place. No time was allowed for the souvenir shop there, despite the fact it looked the most interesting of the three places visited. There was time at the gypsum mine to have something to eat at the cafe. The walk into the mine took quite a long time, but it was fairly interesting. But the highlight was the boat trip on the underwater lake. The guide for that part was good. Our main tour guide was also good and spoke the three languages with ease. We saw Lichtenstein Castle from road on the way back. The amount of information was about right.
I booked this tour because I wanted to go to Mayerling. Misty, moody day just added to the atmosphere of revisiting the steps of the tragedy which took place here. The trip to the Monastery afterwards was wonderful - never seen such amazing stained glass in the whole of Europe, ending with a change of pace again as we delved into the caves of the disused gypsum mines and the underground Excellent tour and excellent guide - thank you.
The tour was great, especially as hotel pick-up was included in the price. Just the right amount of time spent at Mayerling, the monastery and underground lake. Vienna woods is only a 30 minute drive from Vienna so no long bus trip. Excellent guide spoke English, French, German and Spanish and very knowledgable with lots of history and information.
Except for knowing exactly where to meet, the tour was excellent. Loved the Second monastery. Changed itinerary because of weather, and still was excellent. Would recommend.
An unusual visit that ended with the ride on the underwater lake. A very good & organized trip that should not be missed when in Vienna

Sheriff: Deputy fires shots after car hit during Carroll County chase
Kevin Beasley arrested in Wythe County
Kevin Beasley arrested in Wythe County
A man has been arrested after a chase included a deputy firing shots when his car was hit, said Carroll County Sheriff J.B. Gardner.
Kevin Beasley, 26, was taken into custody in Wythe County following an incident that began just after 9 p.m. Tuesday on Photo Lane off Mount Zion Road northeast of Galax.
Cpl. Seth Greer was treated at the hospital and released.
Beasley was held in jail without bond and faces more than a dozen charges, including attempted murder of a law enforcement officer, grand larceny of a vehicle, felony eluding law enforcement, intentionally destroying property and driving with a suspended or revoked license.
Deputies went down the one-lane Photo Lane to check out a report of a stolen car, Gardner said. A gray Pontiac, which matched the description of the stolen vehicle, missed one deputy's car but hit Greer's car head-on, Gardner said.
The Pontiac hit a porch and almost hit another deputy's car head-on, Gardner said. Greer got out of his vehicle and shot into the Pontiac, Gardner said.
The Pontiac got onto Mount Zion Road before heading down a driveway and through a field behind a home, Gardner said. Deputies began a foot chase but couldn't find the suspect in heavy undergrowth and thick woods, Gardner said.
Beasley, who lives in Austinville, was identified as a suspect, deputies said. Wythe County law enforcement officials tried to stop Beasley Thursday morning after being seen driving a stolen pickup truck on Walton Furnace Road, Carroll County deputies said. An ensuing chase lasted three miles before Beasley crashed over a bank, deputies said.
Beasley was taken into custody following a brief scuffle, deputies said.
The Pontiac was stolen out of Galax.

East Tarbrax Farm is situated in an accessible location just to the south west of Shotts within rural North Lanarkshire, approximately 23 miles south east of Glasgow. The farm is split into a number of blocks by the B717 and the A71 public roads which link Shotts to the nearby village of Allanton.
The village of Allanton has a nursery and primary school, with secondary schooling being available at Calderhead High School in Shotts or at nearby Wishaw Academy. The towns of Shotts and Wishaw have a range of day to day services including local shops, bars and restaurants with nearby Hamilton providing a wider range of shopping and facilities. The local area has a number of sports facilities, including golf courses, sports centres, swimming pools and gyms.
The train stations of Shotts and Hartwood are about 1 mile north east and 2 miles to the north west respectively from the farm and sit on the Edinburgh to Glasgow central railway line offering regular train service in both directions. Junction 5 of the M8 motorway which is 3 miles to the north east provides excellent transport links to Glasgow and Edinburgh and beyond. The adjoining A71 provides good road links eastwards towards Edinburgh with the M74 about a 10-15 minute drive.
The farm is within easy commuting distance of the cities of Glasgow (23 miles) and Edinburgh (30 miles), both with world renowned shopping outlets, businesses and entertainment facilities. Edinburgh and Glasgow Airports are easily accessible from the M8 being 24 miles and 30 miles respectively and offering regular domestic and international destinations.
Agriculturally the surrounding area of North Lanarkshire provides an accessible location with a combination of productive pasture and arable ground with rolling hills in the distance. The area is well served by a wide variety of merchants and suppliers, and there are a number of agricultural contractors who can provide additional farming resources as required. The farm lies approximately 17 miles north of Lanark Auction market and within 35 miles of both Stirling Auction Marts providing a choice of three outlets for store and finished livestock produced on the holding. Carlisle Mart is just over an hour and a half's drive via the M74 and is an excellent outlet for dairy and breeding stock.
Farming History
East Tarbrax has been farmed by the same family for a total of 107 years with the current sellers being the third generation to milk cows on the holding. The current farming system is centred on 150 cows and serviced by a steading complex housing around 430 head of cattle. The farm steading has been substantially modernised and extended over the years, with the land benefitting from an ongoing programme of drainage and reseeding and regular applications of farmyard manure and slurry generated from the dairy and beef herds on the farm.
East Tarbrax Farm is a renowned dairy farm extending to approximately 209.32 Ha (517.41 Acres) located in an accessible location just to the south west of Shotts in North Lanarkshire. The farm has an attractive two storey traditional stone-built farmhouse which is located centrally within the holding with a private enclosed garden which includes several mature trees providing shelter and amenity, and there is a further detached cottage located just to the east of the farmhouse. The holding benefits from an excellent range of modern and traditional farm buildings situated adjacent to the farmhouse which are readily accessible from the public road or the farm track which connects to the A71 to the south.
The farmland is situated in four large blocks and access is given to all of the fields from a network of farm tracks or direct from the public road which splits the farmland. The majority of the arable land is located to the north of the holding adjacent to the farmhouse and steading area. The remainder of the holding to the south of the A71 road is split between productive silage ground and pasture and with several areas of amenity woodland. The farmland has been classified as Grade 4.1 and Grade 4.2 by The James Hutton Institute. The arable land can be worked to a good depth and a continuous programme of ditching and drainage works have ensured that all of the farmland is utilised to its maximum potential. The fields are well laid out and of a generous size, easily accommodating modern machinery, and readily accessible directly either off the main public road or via an excellent network of internal tracks.
Method of Sale
East Tarbrax is offered for sale as whole or in eight lots. Please note Lots 2-8 will not be sold prior to the sale of Lot 1.

Canadian Politician Seeks to Decriminalize Payment for Surrogacy
May 30, 2018
(BBC) – A Canadian MP is proposing that the country decriminalise payment for women who choose to become surrogates. As global demand for Canadian surrogates grows, is commercialising the practice the answer? Leia Swanberg is the only person ever to be prosecuted under a Canadian law that prevents payment for surrogacy and limits the activities of surrogacy agencies. A two-time surrogate herself, the fertility agency owner and her company walked away with a combined C$60,000 ($46,000; £35,000) fine in 2014.

Angel Readings and Mediumship Sessions
Schedule your reading with Kourtney HERE
A little about the way I do readings …
All of my sessions begin with a prayer!
This sets the intention of receiving messages only from YOUR angels, guides, masters and loved ones in heaven! After the prayer, I relay their messages and open the floor to you for questions.
Your Angels lovingly wait to assist you! They don't judge or criticize, they only want you to be happy and can help open the doors or show you the way!
They eagerly provide guidance in all areas of your life for your highest potential and best interest. God sees you and your life as perfect, but when you don't, he sends the Angels, "Messengers of God", to comfort and guide with loving messages! If you're stuck at a crossroad in life or just need to know you're on the right path, your angels are here to help.
At times, the angels may bring forth deceased friends or relatives if the client wishes. Communication with the departed may bring comfort and closure to those in the grieving process.
Schedule your appointment TODAY!
I value the trust each client places in me during every reading I conduct, so whatever we discuss remains completely confidential! I allow you to take notes or record our session and if you'd like to bring a trusted friend or family member, they may listen in. I feel like this is YOUR reading and I want to spend the time we have discussing whatever you wish to ask the angels.
Questions or Concerns? Contact us at email@example.com.
"I have helped a number of people learn to ask and receive help from their angels. No job is too big or too small for your angels, after all, they only want you to be happy and live a life filled with love!"
Hints for a successful reading:
- Be open! Allow whomever to "come through". The reader can't determine which loved one on the other side will step forward, so be open to whomever wishes to speak.
- If you only wish to hear from the angels, say so! If you prefer to only hear from angels instead of deceased family, let the reader know. If you don't care to hear any future prediction, let the reader know that as well.
- Are you a skeptic? So many clients will try to "stump the psychic" and make them prove they're real! This is a waste of time and money. Instead, research their credentials or ask for referrals and read testimonials.
- Have a list of questions prioritized in the order you wish to ask.
- Bring your lucky pen and paper to take notes or even a recorder!
- Steer clear of anyone who says you've been "cursed" and they can remove it for you.
Special Notice: Please call or email before hand if you are going to be late. Clients more than 10 minutes late for the appointment will forfeit their appointment. Without proper communication, clients who are more than 10 minutes late will be considered a cancellation without 24 hours notice and payment will still be charged. (If a client fails to make their appointment, they may reschedule for a non-refundable fee.)
On our previous reading this is what YOU told me…I would drive about 2 hours to find a car, no more than $23,000, I would get a good deal, told me an Accord would be a good 'fit' for me, recommended I get a car no more than 2 years old, and you envisioned me in a dark sedan with my soulmate.
Well guess what? All of the above is correct! When I first saw this Honda Accord from the dealer website, I was drawn to this particular car. This dealership does business differently compared to the ones in this area. The sticker price was just a little over book value. Well the timing was perfect, because they had a Fall Special discounting their cars an additional $500. Plus they had a spin the wheel game (think of it as a mini wheel of fortune) if you buy a vehicle. I got a "Used" 2016 Honda Accord, charcoal color. With a little negotiating, including the sales tax I got the car just under $23,000. I won $100 cash playing spin the wheel and I got a very low, FANTASTIC financing rate. Looks like my guides & angels were assisting me with the car purchase! ~Bobby
Please pass on my gratitude to Kourtney, I found her reading to be so very helpful and the messages from the Archangels were so uplifting.It was also so very accurate regarding my body not absorbing nutrients at the moment….A recent visit to a Nutritionist had diagnosed that exact same condition. ~JaneI want to thank you for the beautiful insights and share with you an exciting prediction of yours that came through. In our reading you said that I would become pregnant at the end of the summer of 2015) and it would be a bit of a surprise. Yes, it happened at the end of July and it was a surprise! We are expecting our first baby in April and I am so excited. Thank you for sharing your gifts. All the love, -Sarah Wayne
So grateful, so very grateful for your gentle guidance and listening ear today in the realm of the angels healing love. And helping me for better understanding with the lady…who is so angered. She scares me with her roughness.
I love golden labs/retrievers. I keep looking at the sign that I drive by that says "Seeing Blind Eye dog's" and wanting to stop by …. now I will. Maybe they have a retired one…I am okay with that and maybe in the meantime could even volunteer there.
Thank you for sending Barbara's email/contact so that I can call her. Blessings! ~Val J.
I emailed contractor the technical report and Kourtney, something he missed completely (and same for me and my partner) was found and saved us from a possible catastrophe in the future! The angels have cleared the obstructions, and I am so grateful. -Ann L
Kourtney's reading told me to slowly move out of my current job and into my business which is what happened exactly! She said I would be successful and it certainly has been very successful! I knew Kourtney was the "real deal" when I SAW and met her at a ghost tour we took several years ago. I had never seen (met with) a medium/psychic before that. She helped me and my mother through the death of my step-father. It truly was a blessing when my mother had a reading with Kourtney as it really did help her with his death. I also love Kourtney's sweet disposition and spirit that makes you feel comfortable and at home.-Kathi C
I absolutely love the half-hour sessions in the past that I have had with Kourtney. Now she offers a 15 minute one. It was great, short, concisive, and so intuitively spot on. A great option for quick amazing guidance. Thank You so very much! Please continue these, I loved it!!~JEANETTE WARNER
Your lovely reading made me feel more positive and confident about applying for work, which I have done and waiting for a reply. I'm happy to have received the information about how to communicate with the nature spirits.~Nisha Keshav

Why La Pochette?
Well, a few things really. 300 flights in a year with 300 utterly useless plastic bags, burst shampoo bottle erupting from said useless bags, leaving us some unexplained stains... Turning up at a board meeting with the delightfully fresh scent of sweaty kit from our last spin class... Looking like a packhorse on the Tube with a handbag, laptop case and gym bag... Trying to keep up with fitness whilst doing 14 hour days...Opening our suitcase and finding the insufficient plastic bag holding your bikini has ruined your new Celine clutch after the in denial last frantic 'my-holiday-hasnt-ended-yet' swim leaving absolutely everything smelling of chlorine.
Need we say more?
Enough of the plastic bags. Not only deeply unfashionable and totally useless, they are killing our beautiful world. Cue hundreds of hours of research to find the perfect solutions to keep us, our handbags and the size of our thighs happy.
We realised we had to come up with the solution ourselves.
Et Voila! La Pochette! (3 years later…)

We anticipate three files will be released through ICPSR after processing by DSDR (Data Sharing for Demographic Research): household, individual, and eligible women files.

IHDS has begun a series of research briefs presenting basic results from IHDS-II. These briefs will be short (1-2 pages) summaries of important results. The first brief, by Sonalde Desai, evaluates the growth of the Public Distribution System (PDS) between the two surveys. The results show that PDS usage has grown because more households have BPL and Antyodaya cards so that more households are using PDS shops. The brief also reports the modest subsidies that households receive through their use of PDS shops.

Architecture Fringe - The Future Workplace. Are you Ready?
The future workplace event has now come to a close and after 3 venues, we can firmly say the challenge was worth it and a great experience was had by all. Stirling provided a familiar and welcoming backdrop for our first screening. Edinburgh was our big-ticket event, and we couldn't have been happier when met with a large audience of diverse professionals, this was without a doubt the highlight. Glasgow came with its challenges with some technical difficulties but we overcame them to end on a high and looking forward the whole team can't wait to see what we do next with the film.

Lunch & Learn - Why Should I Reply to Your Email? May 23
Location: University of Stirling's innovation park – 11:45 – 13:00
It was a great experience to deliver Lunch & Learn at Innovation Park of the University of
Stirling. The idea for a new masterclass on writing emails was born in my head as a response
to frequent feedback from the attendees who attended my productivity course.
They were saying that emails occupy plenty of their working time but have so low response rate that breeds frustration. I run Lunch & Learn in a format of a taster session to give some flavour of the main content as well as to tailor the Behavioural Science tools such as framing to real working world needs.
Lunch & Learn: Getting ready for the Future of Work: what to expect and how to prepare. March 21
Location: University of Stirling's innovation park: 12.00pm – 1:00pm.
Alyona will be hosting a Lunch & Learn on the changing world of work, touching on how digital communications have made remote work a commonplace. The rapid growth of the gig economy creates additional challenges and opportunities for innovation. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics could upend the conventional workplace.
Attendees will discover current and future work trends, new ways to knit together workplace learning and work, and the intriguing experiments that companies are undertaking to adapt to rapid change.
TedX-style Event: The One Step Ahead, March 7
Location: Crush Hall in the Pathfoot Building of University of Stirling – 5.00pm-7.30pm
Alyona will be attending and speaking at this event which aims to showcase various experiences that current and former students of the University have had and the different opportunities students can take that will move them 'one step ahead' with their career.
This is a great opportunity for you to hear student's, as well as recent alumni's insights of career building and to make some connections within the university as there will be a networking session at the end of the event. The event is aimed for Stirling Management School students, but we welcome anyone from other faculties interested in business environment experiences.
Lunch & Learn: Productivity Climb, May 29
Location: Stirling University Innovation Park
This event was monumental for SONAS and we were so pleased to share this moment with 23 attendees from various local businesses.
The debut of our first ever workshop focused on personal productivity improvement. The top 3 topics that audience highlighted as the most useful were: 'brain-friendly' to-do lists, ways to deal with overload and preserve energy through a working day, and practical strategies to beat procrastination. Some of the interesting (or common) questions were: how to deal with overload, how to delegate activities from to-do list and not to make other people overloaded, how not to look unproductive/lazy in co-worker's eyes trying to implement changes such as having mini-breaks or reflection time during the day.
Workshop: Productivity Climb, September 13
Location: University of Stirling
At this event was attended by working professional and we were so inspired by the innovative ideas brought forward by the university such as their use of brain-friendly toys to stimulate the minds of our attendees during the session. Alyona discussed topics such as motivation and touched on emotions in the workplace, this even was also attended by our intern; Phoebe Allan.
Shooting: 'Work Hacks Series'
Location: Stirling University Innovation Park
Following the huge feedback from people using the hashtag; #workspacecrapadvice, our next event is credited to beginning creating our next video series short episodes covering the most challenging issues. This was all contributing to our efforts in paving the first step to improve working lives. Special thanks to our bright director Andy Gunn and the crew - Illia Rogozhkin, Colin Harris, Akshita Verma, Cintia Radnothy, and Phoebe Alan.
Check the last of our 'Work Hacks Series' following our YouTube channel.
Afternoon Tea & Learn: Emotions, Nov 22
Location: Edinburgh Central Library, Boardroom
This event was hosted by Belinda and Alyona. As with any of our events we were excited about the guest attendees who kept the conversation about emotions in the workplace stimulating, drawing on their own experience. This kind of innovative and inquisitive behavior is always welcome and appreciated.

Lawn bowls is a game where anyone can compete at any given time. You can invite friends that all have different athletic backgrounds and they can all have a fun game. And with the beer prices at Middle Park Bowling Club, you can have a great afternoon without spending a fortune. And what's not to love about being barefoot on the finely manicured grass of a lawn bowls pitch? The Middle Park Bowling Club accommodates small groups that walk up the very same day. There are 20 rinks out on the greenest grass you've ever seen. You can rock up with just two people or you can bring more than 300. Just remember that each rink has a maximum of eight players. This isn't the kind of bowling club that enforces a two-hour minimum. Casual bowlers can show up for a mere $10 per hour, or you can hire a rink for $132 per lane. If you get eight players, that's a wonderful afternoon on the cheap. And this place is fully licensed. The fully stocked bar has all of your favourite Australian beers as well as a wide selection of wines and spirits. You can find this Bowls club on Canterbury Road in Melbourne, Victoria. It's sandwiched right in between Albert Park Lake and the ocean.

Hello VAs! I am putting together a list of most commonly asked questions of a VA. I'll start the list with the most common question I am asked: How much does a VA cost? I'd like to hear what questions you respond to. Thank you! Janine
Woocommerce vs Shopify - what's your take?
markofapproval posted a topic in Wordpress / BloggingI get asked a lot of questions about WordPress almost on a daily basis - and sometimes by the same people lol. But one question that raises its head often is this... Should I be using WordPress for my client's ecommerce store or is it better to use Shopify? Of course, there's other alternatives like BigCommerce etc, but the point remains; is WP the right platform to host your client's online store? It totally depends. I know that's not a very good answer. But let's consider your requirements. If you want something fast, reliable and secure straight out of the box, then Shopify is likely a good choice for you. Not only that, but you don't have to worry so much about payment processors. WordPress on the other hand is good when you want total control over your online ecosystem. I've also heard it scores better for SEO. Woocommerce would be a good choice here, although it takes more time to setup. Woo is scalable, despite the myths that say it isn't, but the factors weigh heavily on your choice of hosting, theme and surrounding plugins. I'd highly recommend a strong, reliable and secure host if you have a store with 100s of items. I know Tawnya uses Liquid Web. I recently posted this as one of the questions appearing on my Most Asked Question post here: http://markofapproval.com/what-do-you-want-to-know-about-building-wordpress-websites/ Of course you can ask you own question if you so wish. So what is your take on ecommerce platforms? Is this something you even want to touch? I know the ground gets shaky for some when it comes to payment processors, online stores and countless inventories.

Despite recent opinions, $1 million dollars still seems like a lot of money (unless, of course, you're a billionaire). When you invest your money into a retirement fund or put your money into savings, you are often rewarded with interest that accrues over time on the amount. How much that accrues, though, depends on the length of time in the account, who you're investing or saving with, and so on. But, if you wanted to stop working, would this be enough to live comfortably? So, today we answer the question: Can I live off the interest of $1 million?
Can I live off the interest of $1 million?
Even though $1 million is not what it used to be, it's still more than what nine in 10 Americans possess, according to this 2013 New York Times article by Jeff Sommer. This sum of money could potentially change someone's life (for better or worse). Imagine, then, how much interest would accumulate on $1 million. After all, the more money you invest into an account, the more money you will gain from interest. All of this is still dependent on the type of investment and the time the money spends in the account though.
When you choose to invest or save money with the intent of using it to live off of, it is important to do your research on the type of investment that will be best suited for your financial goals. For example, a certificate of deposit (CD) earns more interest on your money in a shorter period of time with an average of a 0.27% interest rate for 12 months, while a standard savings account only averages about 0.06%, as noted by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). On the other hand, retirement funds can earn you around 5% interest on your deposit.
The short answer is yes, you could live off the interest of $1 million, but it is a bit more complicated than that. For one, you won't live a lavish lifestyle that you may imagine. If you're debt free (or plan to be by the time you retire) you'll be much better off, but you still have to monitor your finances and spend wisely. In fact, you would likely need to be extremely frugal if you wanted it to last as long as possible. Not to mention, inflation and taxes could also affect the amount you would actually have to work with as well as cost of living in any given location.
As far as what to expect each year, you could expect the annual pay you'll receive to be $27,000 to $40,000. In a Quora commentary, one user noted this is because of you can take out about 4% each year from your investment. If you are lucky enough to invest in an account that offers 4-5% interest, you will be in a decent situation. At 4%, you'd earn another gross amount of $1,222,582.09 after 20 years with monthly compound interest, as shown with this money calculator. The younger you are, however, the less money you can expect to be able to have as you will have more and larger expenses.
When trying to determine whether or not you can live off the interest of $1 million, you need to also look at your current debt. What are your yearly expenses now, and could your annual pay from your investment cover these costs among other surprises that may occur along the way (health issues, car replacements, etc.)?
There is no cookie-cutter answer to answer the question, "Can I live off the interest of $1 million?" Alternately, with the right investment decisions and starting to invest that amount now, you will be better off than many of your peers in the future.
What are your thoughts? Weigh in on the conversation in the comments below.

As retailers gear up for the upcoming holiday season, the Guam Customs and Quarantine Agency work on ensuring Christmas trees shipped to the island are fumigated in accordance with local policy.
Customs announced on Tuesday that the first fumigation of Christmas trees happened last week Thursday.

More: Eric Palacios tapped to lead Department of Corrections
By fumigating containers of trees before they are released, Customs hopes to stop pests or invasive species from spreading.
1,200 trees, wreaths and garlands
Five containers with over 1,200 trees, wreaths and garlands were sprayed with methyl bromide, which is a gas, according to a Customs news release.
The gas is applied inside the container and resealed and then re-inspected. The container is released only after it passes its re-inspection, according to the agency.
Fumigation policy adopted in 2016
Fumigation of all imported Christmas trees is a Department of Agriculture policy adopted in 2016.
Customs said the treatment of containers with Christmas trees, wreaths and garlands, has kept out species of beetles, ants and spiders.

We received this wonderful note from a past participant, and wanted to share it with you...
I recently experienced "Eat Breathe Thrive" with Lara and Nancy. I am very impressed with the many new tools I was given. The meditation started with 'allowing me to expand and take up space'. I was stunned at how foreign that permission was. 'Permission to take up space', such a simple and basic fact of existence, Who would have ever guessed that I fought that so? Many of my twisted self messages came to light.The group gave me the confidence to challenge and rewrite some of my messages.
Eat Breathe Thrive gave me a community where I could safely face some feelings of shame and self disgust that I had no idea were running in the background of my mind. I was able to note some of the ways I found distractions to distract myself from properly loving myself.
These sessions allowed me to start to heal areas that I had hidden away and yet the sessions were fun. You felt supported and allowed to gently face your issues. We were able to laugh together, dine together, stretch together, and learn what projects outside of ourselves we valued. This work shook me out of the little strange world I had created.
The growth didn't end as the sessions did, I continue to learn new ways to self soothe and answer the question, "What do I need?". As an older woman you would think I would have spent more time asking myself that question rather than mostly asking "What did the rest of my world need?"

Home businesses have much in common with the home itself, because with both you have to have a secure foundation and the right materials to get a finished product. The article below will give you just what you need, from concept to launch, to make sure you tie it all together for success.
Launching a online business can be very exciting but it is also a lot of work. The first thing you need to do in creating a home business is to find a niche. There are no limits to what you can decide, but you should know a good amount of information on the topic. Be sure to research thoroughly before jumping in with both feet. Network with other home based business owners that are successful.
To make your customers feel special, give them personalized service. Maybe send a thank you note for their order or even send them a free gift as a sample, just make sure they know how valued their business is. Two things that customers like are appreciation and free things. Prove to them that they are an important piece of your success!
Dress for work, as if your customers will see you. You might feel the need to work in pajamas in your home office. Dress professionally instead. This will give you the proper mindset to produce as much as possible.
Find out what local laws affect your home business. You can save yourself needless embarrassment and avoid fines as well. You want good neighbor relations through keeping a low profile. Keep the noise down, and don't post any ugly or intrusive signs. Don't call attention to your physical presence.
Start a mailing list. Don't spam your email list. Mailing lists allow you to send out announcements for specials and other ads. Or, use it to send relevant content and info to them; and include a coupon, as well. Put a sign-up form on the front page of your site so people can join.
If you desire to make lots of cash as a home based business owner, it's vital that you know when to take chances. Keeping your marketing efforts diverse is the best way to reach the widest audience. If you stick to the same strategies and never try something new, you could miss out on huge opportunities to cash in big.
With a little more information and advice from peers and experts who have already paved their own path to success with a home business enterprise, you are now prepared to take the next step in the right direction toward achieving your own dream of running a home based business. It won't be easy, but the advice in the above article can help you start to succeed.

And Mr GQ knows all about it. In fact sometimes he even joins in. Don't panic, I'm not cheating on Mr GQ. I'm having a love affair with In Essence products. They're amazing!
It all started a few months ago. I needed a new candle so was browsing around the shops looking for something different. I noticed In Essence had a gwp and naturally had to take a closer look. My friend Music had told me that she loves In Essence products and when I smelled their Blissful Body Bar (soap) and Tahitian Escape candle I had to buy them.
The gwp was amazing. It contained a full size body scrub, grapefruit essential oil and hand cream and a travel size shower gel and monoi body lotion.
I've since purchased twice more from In Essence and got an amazing gwp both times. In Essence seem to have constant gwp's which is brilliant.
My second purchase was Tahitian Escape mood reeds and two Blissful Body Bar's. I'm obsessed with the Blissful Body Bar. It smells heavenly. I wish they made it in a perfume and essential oil.
The second gwp contained a full sized hand cream, body balm and neroli essential oil plus a travel sized monoi oil body lotion.
The product that tipped my obsession over the edge into full blown addiction was the Ultra Rich Body Balm. This stuff smells amazing! The fragrance is a beautiful mix of neroli, grapefruit, lavender, mimosa flowers and apricots. It has become my new favourite rich winter body lotion.
My third purchase from In Essence was the electric oil burner. I wish I'd bought this sooner, it's such a brilliant idea. For some reason I didn't take a photo of the gwp that I got when I bought the oil burner so I can't tell you exactly what was in it but I do remember it contained a full sized bath oil and a travel sized monoi body lotion.

Thanks so much for including me in your blogroll, btw.
They look awesome! Where did you get them from? I love your blog by the way :o). Have followed.ReplyDelete
From another Perthie :o).
Yay, another Perthie!ReplyDelete
I buy my In Essence products from Myer or DJ's. I think they're both having a gwp at the moment too.

Restoring Physical Intuition
Increasingly, individuals are interacting with the world through the virtual interface of computers. Children play with iPads rather than blocks or erector sets. Physical intuition plays a role in invention of physical objects, architecture, and engineering. None of us is totally disconnected from the physical world, which is potentially a dangerous place requiring intuition to navigate safely. How can physical interactive displays be used to allow people to test their own physical intuition that develops through interaction with the real world and emerge with at least an awareness of its importance and their level of proficiency?
Katherine Ellen Foley, NAKFI Science Writing Scholar
New York University, Science, Health, and Environmental Writing Program
The team worked on ways to define and improve physical intuition in an increasingly technological world and concluded that the core problem is that, as we become more dependent on technology, we lose some of the sense of connection with our physical bodies. For example, our cell phone screens may distract us at the office, and, more dangerously, they may also command our attention while we walk through city streets. They may put us at risk for tripping or having an accident, but also take opportunities
away from us to make social connections with others. This potential disconnect can ultimately affect our work and well-being.
"Learning intuition in one area helps you learn intuition in other areas," said one member of the group. The group discussed how this idea—known as knowledge transfer—could apply to both the digital and the physical world. For example, when a user understands how to use one computer program, he can likely apply his skills to navigate others manufactured by the same company. Conversely, if a woman has a background in rock climbing, she will likely be able to use the same physical intuition to cross an icy pathway without falling.
The group recognized that knowledge transfer through different activities could help people solve seemingly impossible challenges by inspiring them to think of creative solutions. Often, when we're stuck on a problem, stepping away from it and engaging in an unrelated activity gives our mind a chance to wander. When we later come back to the task at hand, we'll often find that subconsciously, we've thought of a totally novel approach to solve it—indirectly inspired by the irrelevant task. The group decided that they wanted to provide people with a means of gaining additional knowledge transfer through "tools of unknown purpose."
Tools are only tools in the context in which they are used. "Tools of unknown purpose," therefore, are similar to toys: They are objects with no specific use, and can therefore be applied to whatever task we choose. For example, in a construction setting, a hammer can be used to nail boards together. In an artistic setting, though, it could be used to uniquely spread paint across canvas. The group felt that playing with these ambiguous tools could help reboot physical intuition and social experiences in an increasingly technological world by forcing us to think creatively outside of our daily routine.
"Tools of Unknown Purpose: A Traveling Exhibition," would be a mobile demonstration. It would start out by working with teenagers—who straddle the playfulness of childhood and the experience of adulthood—and ultimately reach diverse groups, including children, people who are temporarily or permanently physically disabled, and adults. The team envisioned that it would be a "containerized toolshed . . . of ambiguous tooling, lost ritual, and specialist profession," according to a member of the seed group.
They envisioned that the exhibit would be held in a shipping container, similar to a train car, filled with items ranging from dental tools, construction devices, and unidentifiable objects for participants to touch, feel, and use to alter materials—all without descriptions. It will appear in locations
such as college campuses, farmers' markets, shopping malls, and community centers for about 1 month at a time. By providing tools that are "mysterious, intriguing, and obviously related to the body," according to a member of the group, the exhibit will encourage participants to play with physical materials, and take time to disengage from technology as much as possible.
Participants will have the opportunity to use these tools to play with, mold, create, and destroy structures made from plywood, plastic, and materials unique to the local environment, such as different types of timber, debris from storms, or even scraps of materials community construction projects. This approach is more environmentally friendly and ensures that each location provides a unique experience.
The tools featured in the exhibit will be a mix of relics from the past and future: Some of the tools will be objects like ancient dental or culinary tools. Others will have a futuristic design, like "complex tooling for navigating difficult virtual data-scapes," as one team member said. There are no wrong ways to interact with any of these items; the team emphasized that participants should know that it's impossible to fail during their time in the exhibition. The purpose of these tools is to encourage participants to play in ways that may not solve an immediate important need. In the group's final presentation, one member suggested that some of these tools could be used to create remixed versions of popular songs, including Drake's "Hotline Bling."
The group recognized that it would be important to collect data about how participants use these tools. They envisioned that each of the tools will be equipped with software to record the ways in which they are moved and used. By studying the different ways people use these items, the exhibition will help develop a metric for measuring physical intuition. Ultimately, these data could then inform the ways we could ultimately improve physical intuition. These same metrics could demonstrate the ways in which the program is successful and how it could be improved in the future.
The group proposed additional ways for teenagers specifically to engage in the exhibit. First, it will only employ other teenagers to guide participants, in order to make it more accessible. They concluded that teenagers would most likely respond with less inhibition and more open minds with these tools if they felt they could relate to a peer. In addition, some members of the group wanted to engage teenagers' own digital presence. Rather than trying to force participants to give up their phones, they decided that they could take pictures and videos of users while they meander through the exhibit. At the end of the show, participants could choose which of the
images or videos they would like uploaded to their personal social media accounts, such as Facebook and Instagram.
Only at the end of the show would users learn the original intent of each of these tools. Ideally, they will be both surprised by how their own intuition differed from the original design, and filled with wonder as they connect with these tools in the same way they were intended years ago.
By recognizing their own creativity, participants will retain a lasting reinforcement of their internal physical intuition. As each of the group members discovered through personal experiences, having creative physical intuition can solve challenges across a variety of disciplines. Awareness of physical intuition—and a newly sparked curiosity about its value—will create a network of 21st-century problem solvers that will approach technological challenges from unique stances.
Our dependency on technology to solve problems will not change, but we can remember to emphasize the importance of physical wonderment as we advance both sciences and art.
