The time is almost upon us! One of the most romantic occasions of year.second only to Valentine's Working day (or, if you're me, the 4th of July).

I like the medi evil approch mentioned ;)
But for simply lifting purposes I would go simple.
A nice sturdy pole with a free swinging beam on it.
Make the lever long enough and you lift a car engine off your truck with ease.
The romans used this method already for building before slavery was declared a crime.
For your type of lifter all you need is a sturdy frame and a roller system on the winch.
I want to make a cheap Lifting Gantry Answered
G'day, I am getting old and need help to make a cheap lifting Gantry. I have a lifting device to lift 1/2 ton. I want to be able to place the device on or near the car trailer. To be able to lift something like a half full 44 gal drum of rubbish, rocks, sand and tip in into my trailer to take to the dump. Something simular to this. Just two uprights and a cross piece that I can hang my lifter on. Cheers Perry
I like the medi evil approch mentioned ;)
Got any welder friends? You can go with I beams, heavy angle iron, or large diameter pipe to make the contraption. You want it wheeled to move around or fixed in place by the carport? Look online for engine lifts/hoists and even drum barrel lifts - they make them for your purpose to get ideas on how to make one. Maybe no need to go big with a full frame. Go medieval and make it out of timber and lashed with rope. Good luck.

It's easy to feel helpless. Useless. Sunk.
I have learned the hard way you can't ignore change and disruptions. The only way to get through is to embrace them and find a way forward. Easier said than done sometimes, I know. But after one woman created the environment for me to overcome enormous odds to succeed, I have made sure to spend my life paying it forward.
For some context, I used to swim the 100 m backstroke, the only swimming event which starts in the water. It was always assumed that once you started (and pushed off the wall), that you would come up and start swimming, but it wasn't written specifically in the rule book that the swimmer actually had to come to the surface.
An American who had studied marine biology learned that doing the dolphin kick underwater is faster than swimming on the surface and exploited the loophole in the rule book. He started to do the dolphin kick 95 of the 100 meters underwater, only emerging to do a turn. The rest of the world soon followed and my event soon became the 100-meter underwater dolphin kick.
This disruption came right at the peak of my career, in the year leading up to my 1st Olympics in 1988. I was ranked 2nd in the world.
I had a very old school coach named Derek Snelling. He had been a Drill Sargeant in the British Navy and didn't want to adapt to any of this. On top of it, I was a terrible technical swimmer, so we chose to just ignore this advancement. We kept doing what we always did.
And we paid the price. I went to the Olympics and came 5th. Only three swimmers in the race swam the race, the other five underwater kicked. The day after the Olympics, the swimming federation plugged the loophole and introduced a rule where you had to surface at 15 meters off the start and the turn. But it was too little, too late.
Fast forward three years to the year before the Olympics in Barcelona. I still ignored this underwater dolphin kick but worked my way back to being ranked 2nd in the world. At the world championships in Perth, Australia, I won a silver medal and placed 6/100ths behind the World Record holder, Jeff Rouse—less than a fingernail behind. I was once again a medal favourite.
And then, bam! With 11 months to go until the Barcelona Olympics, my main rival, Rouse, drops 1.2 seconds and smashes the world record. Dream gone. I had a total déjà vu.
I went to a wedding and there I ran into Debbie Muir, the world's greatest synchronized swimming coach of that era. Debbie had retired from coaching the national synchronized swimming team but one of her swimmers was marrying a volleyball player. She asked me how I was doing. It was the question that would change the rest of my life.
Instead of giving her a pat answer, "Oh, I'm fine," I was so completely tormented and frustrated that I unleashed on her. I told her about Jeff and how suddenly my dream was shattered. Eventually she said, "Hey, we're at a wedding, but let's get together for lunch next week to talk about what we can do."
That was the most amazing lunch. We talked and talked and talked. I had ignored the underwater technical aspect of my race for so long. With Debbie's questions I realized that I had been ignoring 30% of my race. By the end of lunch, she had agreed to come out of retirement to coach me.
It was amazing because I had spent my life in a sport that was male dominated. Led with a "control and command" style. Do what you were told. Follow instruction. Don't challenge.
And now I was working with Debbie. We were connecting and collaborating, discussing ideas, sharing experiences, coming up with best solutions. It was amazing to have this training environment. She created a place where I felt safe to express myself, try new things, fail in order to move forward.
And as we kept working together, I knew that I had this huge secret that I had been carrying around my entire life. Hard to imagine in 2019, but in the 1990's there was a still an enormous social stigma attached to being gay. No one ever spoke of it except in the most negative ways. But how could I tap into my absolute best if I had this tape in my head fighting against myself?
I knew I had to share my secret with Debbie. I knew I could be open and trust her. We had become friends. In fact, it would have been weird not to share it with her given how close we were.
So one day, about four months before the Olympics, we went to one of my favourite restaurants in Calgary. "I have something to tell you," I said. "I think I know," she replied. "Then you tell me." "No, I need to hear it from you." It was the first time I had ever said this out loud to a coach: "I'm gay." The words felt like they floated through the air: I'm gay…gay…gay…. gay…. She teared up and said, "You have my support 100%."
This issue of being gay had always been a liability for me, especially in the world of sport. With Debbie, in an environment that was open and enabled me to talk, it became a strength. I could stop fighting myself, hating myself. I was gay and I was okay. Actually—I was great. So much so that right in the most important moment at the Olympics, being gay became my super power.
In swimming you spend the last 30 minutes with the seven other finalists in your event in a Ready-Room. It is a super intense experience. But there was a moment during that time that I realized—all eight of us wanted to win this race. We have all put in 10,000+ hours. What makes me different? I am the GAY one. If they only knew… how strong I am… I felt my blood pulse—had to calm down.
I went out there and dropped 1.2 seconds. I out-touched Jeff Rouse by 6 one-hundredths of a second to win Canada's first gold medal at the Barcelona Olympics.
My greatest legacy from those games isn't the gold medal but the relationship I have with Debbie. I will never forget how one person had the power to turn my life around. I have made it my purpose to pay that forward.
20 years ago, when I came out publicly, I predicted it would take another five years for a breakthrough to happen in sport and there would be no longer be an issue about being gay in sport.
I'm not proud that 16 years later, I was still the go-to guy for all issues LGBTQ+ and sport. I'm not proud that we have the Olympics in places like Russia that specifically target our LGBTQ+ community.
The lead up to Sochi was hard. It was brutal to see my community targeted, persecuted and imprisoned. It was easy to feel useless. But at least I found a way to do my little part.
A young 17-year old luge athlete and Team Canada member told his sport psychologist he was gay, and he was terrified of going to Sochi for the Olympics. They reached out to me to see if I would talk to him.
I invited the athlete to meet me at my apartment for privacy. In came John Fennell. Very tall. Thin. Big hair. And so incredibly nervous. Like terrified. He couldn't sit still. He was biting his nails like crazy. I could just see this was a shell of a guy.
It was the strangest moment. He said to me, "I have to tell you something."
And then I said, "I think I know what it is but I need to hear you say it." And It was déjà vu. I had become Debbie!
He said it so quietly. "I am gay." I said, "Okay. How is that for you?" And it started a great conversation that led to me being able to do something.
We needed to put a safety net in place for John over in Sochi. I knew LGBTQ+ members of the mission team that weren't necessarily out, but they were out to me and could provide that pink network if needed. And sadly, John had to pull that trigger; he felt under threat there and needed the support. At least it was there for him.
Sometimes when I look at the state of the world, especially from an LGBTQ+ lens, I can feel very overwhelmed and depressed. I know people on the ground in places like Burundi who are in danger every day, doing what they do. It could be easy to feel helpless, useless.
But through my experience with John I realized: just commit to doing your own little part.
Because history moves forward incrementally. It would have been impossible, even 20 years ago, to imagine the world as we know it today. Yet here we are.
Baby steps. As long as we're moving it forward we remain unsinkable.

DUBAI FEB 9th – On the occasion of Gulfood AFIDOP, the association of Italian protected designation of origin cheeses, together with ITA Italian Trade Commission introduced 6 Italian PDO cheeses: Pecorino Romano, Pecorino Toscano, Mozzarella di bufala, Grana Padano, Gorgonzola and Asiago. A cheese tasting and a cooking show followed the conference.
"The aim of this event is to promote the high quality of the Italian PDO cheeses, their uniqueness, high standards and to highlight the production techniques", says Luca Cracco, Director at Asiago Cheese PDO Consortium "Italian PDO cheeses are deeply rooted in history and in the everyday life of our country. Their fame is strictly linked to the land in which they are born and we owe it to the hard work of our ancestors, who knew a unique and inimitable way to transform milk and how to maintain such a tradition. It is also thanks to them that today these cheeses triumph on the tables of restaurants and in families all over the world".
"In 2013 the designation of origin marks (PDO, PGI and TSG) represented a volume of 1,3 million tons and a turnover of 2,5 billion euros, 32% of which is exported. Italy remains a world leader in the sector for number of certified products, with a total of 261 products registered in the EU register" states Mr Cracco.
The acronym P.D.O. (Protected Designation of Origin) is affixed to the most important traditional Italian cheeses. This label refers to the region and production area of a specific cheese, whose characteristics are strictly related to a geographic area, the only place where it can be produced.
All P.D.O. products are subject to a set of traditional codified rules within the framework of a detailed production procedure provided by the European Commission.
This procedure establishes the product's characteristics, ranging from production techniques to labeling and marketing rules. Products must undergo a complex validation process to obtain the P.D.O. registration. Only the products that manage to get through this process will be authorized to use the P.D.O. label and the European logo (yellow sun in a red field) through which they can be identified.
In Italy there are 43 P.D.O. and 1 P.G.I. cheese and dairy products. Italy is thus the second world producer of P.D.O. cheese.
AFIDOP safeguards the typical aspect and the use of the products' names, promoting their popularity and protecting the production keeping a watchful eye on quality.
Practically all Italian regions, traditions and types of cheese are part of AFIDOP: from fresh to mature cheeses, from uncooked to semi-cooked or cooked and smooth textured ones, from cheeses made with cow's milk to those made with sheep's, buffalo's and goat's milk. From large-scale productions, producing more than a million quintals, to smaller scale ones that make less than a few hundred.
This is so vastly different and so widely represented that it can deliver a message to the world of a quality that is second to no one.

Sharing ideas on how to wander through the holidays stress free.
When November and December hit we're often feeling mixed emotions from the fact that we're about to close yet another year and the excitement of what the holidays bring. What should be the most joyous time of year can quickly become fraught with never ending to-do lists and little time to do the things you love. We wanted to share with you some ideas on how to wander through the holidays stress free so you can look ahead to 2019 with excitement for what lies ahead!
We strongly believe that the best cure to holiday stress (or stress any time of year) is to get outside and burn some energy. Whether that be a hike with your loved one or you just grab the pup and go, the crisp air in your lungs will liven your spirit right up. We also suggest hitting the slopes or strapping on some snow shoes for a fun way to forget about everything that needs to get done waiting for you at home.
Our next suggestion is to put down the technology and grab a good book. Though we love the social space that technology can provide, it can also quickly lead to mindless scrolling for hours, FOMO of another's persons current adventures and unnecessary comparisons. Instead of seeing what everyone else is up to, get lost in a book that takes your mind on its own adventure.
Our FAVORITE way to de-stress is to grab a group of friends and just go play! We can guarantee that the holiday season will try and keep every minute of every day busy, but sometimes you just have to throw caution to the wind, play hooky and go have some fun with your best pals.
After you warm up from your snowy adventures, pour everyone a cup of hot cocoa and share some of your favorite holiday memories growing up. They're usually pretty hilarious!
Take some time this holiday season to step back from the craziness of it all and give yourself permission to truly soak it all in and enjoy it. Call up friends you haven't seen in month for a beer at a local pub, stop by a loved ones for a game of scrabble or better yet, do something just for yourself like staying in your cozy lounge wear all day for a holiday classics movie marathon.
We're wishing you the best this Holiday season & be sure to tag us in all the fun you're having on Instagram using #modishwanderer.

My super smart 4 yr old freestyles about cells, atoms, viruses, Robert Hooke (who discovered plant cells in the 1600s) and other things…
My super smart 4 yr old freestyles about cells, atoms, viruses, Robert Hooke (who discovered plant cells in the 1600s) and other things…
We felt well enough to finish sewing her Aleph Bet Hebrew Alphabet skirt (with literal NAPS in between steps), just in case we're well enough to attend family services tomorrow. She learned the Shema and Oseh Shalom with the other little ones and they're kicking off a special Friday thing tomorrow.
She also loves (and I mean LOVES) this video of the kids Hebrew Alphabet song- at the rate she is going, we could possibly add Hebrew to her English and Persian and Filipino and smattering of French she knows already:
She also received a "Little Trixie"- a dressmaker's dummy dressform, whatchamacallit. I call my big one Trixie, so now I guess it's Trixie Sr.
The kiddie one is by Dritz and it is ADORABLE. Maisie keeps hugging it like it's her best friend. The measurements are adjustable to about size 12-14 kids, so this thing should hold up for a long, long time.
Maisie is slim and tall, so the measurements are a bit bigger than her actual girth- but with elastic waistbands and twirly skirts, that doesn't matter.
All Maisie requests in a skirt are that they twirl and they have cool fabric. I can do this.
Actually, R's been doing the actual sewing, while I tell him what to do. I prefer draping and design and hand sewing to machine stuff and cutting. To him, using a sewing machine is no different than making things out of wood with tools. He just has to be told how to do it and he does it.

All skirts are lined. I think the next one will only have elastic in the back of the waistband, unless I feel lazy.
I honestly decided to make these because:
1. Well made girl's skirts are PRICEY
2. We all know how to sew and I would love her to have unique prints and fabrics
3. It helps to teach her to sew and know where her clothes come from and HOW THEY ARE CONSTRUCTED.
I think this is important. I was taught these skills and I want to pass them to her.
4. We love projects! LOL!
Holy moly! That 'little bug' the child brought home from Montessori not only infected her (she actually had the mildest form)- I toppled after, like a tree. I seriously thought I was going to die. It was one of those bugs that involves all ends and orifices (sorry for the TMI), makes one feel like you've been beaten with wire hangers by disgruntled 40s film stars.
Not pleasant- and it made me sleep for days.
The rest of the fam thought it was easy-peasy and I was just having some health spell (because Maisie made it look so innocuous)- until THEY were hit with it.
I actually found one older male family member passed out on the floor between the downstairs toilet and the piano room guest bed, where he decided to camp (to be closer to the loo)- he'd been there for 3 hours and too weak to get up!
After frantic texts to my long-suffering, but freaking fantastic doctor, who told me to get 1/2L of liquid into him every 30 min, do his vitals, etc- he survived. He told me he seriously didn't think he would survive. It scared him- and everyone else.
I spooned soup and dry toast and bagel into everyone… and bleached and scrubbed and washed nasty things I won't mention.
I also made homemade saffron chicken garlic soup with noodles (and once with wild rice) 2 days running. If you don't have an Instant Pot, buy one, NOW. It saved our lives. How else can one cook a 4 hour soup in under 30 minutes? Amazing gadget.
R was also hit hard and is still in feeling the effects. He's young, he'll live. Even my dad's got a touch of it, but he has the sense to hydrate. I have to remind everyone else to keep drinking.
I kept the BRAT diet thing on point. Seemed to work.
R, who is allergic to milk, decided to drink it for his heartburn- when I told him a Zantac would have been more effective- and now he's back to stomach issues. What can I do?!
I can just say "I told ya so" and make sure they try to follow some sort of sensible thing.
It's weird- I am frequently sick, so I know how severe this was. It was worse than my emboli, seriously. When you're out of your mind with fever and in pain, you just pretty much think the the end is near lol. Being the healthiest cat in the house, besides Maisie, was a new one for me- or the first time in the longest time.

Maisie seems to be over it. Her appetite returned with a vengeance today.
We felt well enough to finish sewing her Aleph Bet Hebrew Alphabet skirt (with literal NAPS in between steps), just in case we're well enough to attend family services tomorrow. She learned the Shema and Oseh Shalom with the other little ones and they're kicking off a special Friday thing tomorrow.
So much for the update- will add more in next post!
My poor little monkey woke up with a stomach bug. She's rarely sick, knock wood- and refused to believe there was anything wrong with herself.
She DID have time this morning to want to make math and science vids from her 4 yr old perspective.

Been a rough few months. Post PE syndrome is no joke. Glad to still be alive, though.
Found out that the hospital I had my surgery in for the hysterectomy gave me an almost fatal superbug uti (they sent me home with a catheter AND TOLD ME TO REMOVE IT MYSELF)- a pseudomonas infection.
I spent a week at the local cancer center getting antibiotic infusion treatments via IV. Since then, I've been much less chipper and so tired.
I don't trust American hospitals anymore.
I started a cpap machine for sleep apnea 2 days ago, after having a sleep study done last month. I was having moderate apnea.
This is a fantastic article:
Sorry for the short blog post, but super tired!
This woman sounds like me.
EXACTLY.LIKE.ME… EXCEPT she has more kids.
Oh, and no pulmonary emboli from her surgery.
I ALSO had a weird twin dream after!
this is getting tediously repetitive- found out the other day that my ovaries were about 10 yrs younger than the rest of me or more- and to not expect menopause for another 10 yrs or so, give or take.
Good thing I've no more uterus, or I could have been shooting out more babies far into my dotage!

Letter of transmittal
25 September 2012Senator the Hon. Joe Ludwig
Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry
Parliament House
Dear Minister
I present the annual report of the Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry for the year ended 30 June 2012.
As required by section 63 of the Public Service Act 1999 (the Act), the report has been prepared in accordance with the 'Requirements for annual reports' approved by the Joint Committee of Public Accounts and Audit.
I am pleased that the report notes progress during the year to achieve the department's two planned outcomes. The report also foreshadows portfolio activities for 2012–13.
I am satisfied that the department has taken all reasonable measures to minimise the incidence of fraud in our agency, and to investigate and recover the proceeds of fraud against our agency. The department has prepared fraud risk assessments and fraud control plans, and has in place fraud prevention, detection, investigation, reporting and data collection procedures and processes that meet the department's needs.
Under subsection 63(1) of the Act you are required to lay a copy of the report before each House of the Parliament on or before 31 October 2012.
I also take this opportunity to acknowledge the dedication of all departmental employees and their continuing commitment to supporting the government's objectives.
Yours sincerely
Conall O'Connell

To answer a question that's asked several times each week, we will open the full segment at one time; we will not open the remaining Parkway in sections.
In order to be ready to open the final segment - which should be in use this summer - we've got a few things yet to do, particularly along U.S. Hwy 281. This weekend that means closures on U.S. 281 likely to impact anyone driving through north-central San Antonio.
The closure:
Saturday-Monday, March 14-16. 4 a.m. until 5 a.m. continuous. All southbound main lanes of U.S. 281 will close between Bitters Road and Nakoma Drive while crews move barrier and restripe the road. Traffic will exit Bitters Road, pass through the Bitters and Nakoma intersections, and re-enter the main lanes. Officers will be used to control traffic at intersections and at the frontage road.
The work:
Williams Brothers Construction will move barriers and the lanes of U.S. 281 through this area. For the next several weeks, work will be done along the center median; the new barrier and the lane shift will provide a safe working area for these crews.
The new exit ramp for Wurzbach Parkway/Nakoma Drive will be opened when this closure is finished. The new ramp is located near Bitters Drive, pushing traffic onto the frontage road well ahead of the intersections drivers may need to reach.
|The new southbound entrance ramp from Bitters Road, in the middle of this picture, is already open and active. By the end of this weekend, the new exit ramp to Nakoma Drive (also in green) will be open. The old exit ramp will be demolished.
With the lanes closed electricians will get in and connect light poles and overhead signs - trying to take advantage of the closure to take care of the work.
The future:
With barriers moved, Williams Brothers will be poised to do the work remaining in the median area of U.S. 281. Meanwhile, crews focusing on the construction of the new southbound exit ramp will be able to focus on the northbound ramps still under construction.
If crews are able to keep pace, we should be discussing the opening of new northbound ramps before the end of the school year.

Tips For Finding The Automobile You Want
Car shopping is an activity that most buyers will have to deal with every once in awhile. Although it could be fun, the size of the investment can make the process stressful unless the shopper does some legwork ahead of time. This article can give you some tips to help with the car buying process.
Before you leave to shop for a car, decide on what you need. How much do you afford? How many people do you need to drive around? What mileage are you interested in? Do you want a two-door car or two doors? Make a list of all the qualities you want your car.
Don't let a salesperson talk you into purchasing a vehicle that you can't afford. Many people get hoodwinked into buying sports car because the person looks good in it. Remember that salespeople are motivated by the salesman wants his commission!
You can literally save a lot of money by searching online. After you find a great deal on the car of your dreams, either visit the dealership in person or ask another dealer to get the car on your behalf. If you can get to the dealership, it's better to pick it up yourself.
Figure out your financing before you even look at a car. You can talk to a trip to your bank or nearby credit union. You might get a much better deal through your bank than through the dealer.
When negotiating cost, do not focus on the monthly payments, but on the total purchase price at the end of the terms. Dealers will do anything and everything to get you that monthly price, but the terms of the financing end up making the overall cost quite a bit higher than you may have thought. Negotiate the best overall deal for the car. Then calculate what the monthly payments will be.
When shopping for a vehicle, never go over your maximum budget regardless of what words come out of the dealers mouth.
Safety features are important when you should look for in your new vehicle. Anti-lock brakes or ABS are an absolute must for any car.Safety is of the utmost importance because you will spend much time in this vehicle a lot.
Purchasing a car can be great, but can also be something that is dreaded. The great thing is that if you actually think over everything prior to buying a car, you can have an enjoyable time. Everyone in the family will be satisfied with the purchase if done correctly. After reading the tips above, you should be ready to confidently purchase a new automobile.

Want to SAVE $$ Quilting??
Quilter's Select
OK! I know you are wondering, "How can I save money while quilting?" I have been selling the Quilter's Select rulers for a few months now. Everyone who has bought them is coming in and telling me how much they love them! These rulers are one of the best inventions in quilting that I have seen for many years. THEY DO NOT MOVE!!! There is a coating on the back that allows it to stay in place. I just had a beginner class and I usually have to work with each student over and over because the ruler slips. They had their fabric cut out in no time! You will not make as many mistakes because the ruler does not slip on you. Money saved! I have them in all different sizes, so come in and try them out!
is around the corner. Just a few additions!
Bring a 60 degree
ruler. No, I can't tell why you need it! Also, if you are doing The Three Hour Quilt, you will
need 5/8 yd. of the dark for binding. We still have a few openings. Cost is just $120. Click
for information.
Only 6 spaces left for the Branson trip! Call soon if you want to join us. For all of the information, click
Ruth is one of my favorite books in the Bible. I love her story. Did
you know the book of Ruth is big on
? For instance, God's loyalty and faithfulness to Israel and Ruth's loyalty to her mother-in-law, Naomi are both written about in this book of the Bible. I guess this book always makes me think because there isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss my mother-in-law, Dorothy Keller. My mother-in-law was so wise. There are days I wish I could still go and talk to her. In her later years, whenever I sent food to her, every dish (except one when she was very sick) came back with a thank you note in it. Each note was well thought out and as you can see, I saved many of them. They are treasured!
Everything wasn't always perfect in the 42 years I knew her, but our loyalty to each other was very strong. She was so special to me. As you make this block, think of someone who has been loyal to you. Maybe even
send them a note
and thank them for all they have done to make your life special
. You never know, you might even get a special letter in the mail this week! To get this FREE pattern,

Jackfroot: Can you give us the backstory on how you made it The Voice?
I actually first auditioned in 2012. I went to the open call in Vegas and my family was really encouraging about that. So I went, but I actually didn't make the first cut. Then the casting agency got back in touch with me [this year] because they saw a couple of videos on my YouTube channel, and they asked me to come back in for an audition. I said sure, since I was coming to San Francisco anyways. I advanced through the producer auditions and eventually was able to make it through my blind audition.
How did you feel about getting your audition montaged? Do you think those who had a full audition shown on TV have a competitive advantage?
It's definitely not the coolest thing to get montaged, but of course they only have a certain amount of time to go through these things. There's a good amount of advantage that their story gets aired…but not necessarily. Everything's been filmed up to the live playoffs, so it gives them more exposure, which is great for them, but at the same time it was amazing what fifteen seconds on television gave me. I just got so much support from the whole community. Honestly, I was kind of amazed that even though my audition was montaged, I still got so much love. It was disappointing, but at the same time I still feel so fortunate.
Will we see a musical evolution from you on the show?
It's going to be interesting … through this audition process it has been incredible because they really set you up for success. I've had such a good experience with the producers and the team and everything. They set you up with vocal lessons; they set you up with a stage choreographer to really get you into your song. For this competition, it has definitely pushed my boundaries, in terms of me as a vocalist. I was in a band for a long time, and I usually just play the guitar. I was kind of on the sidelines, with a little vocal harmony here and there, but I'm relatively new to being the singer/songwriter. I'm still kind of growing into my own. So through this process I've learned to sing with a guitar and not be completely awkward about it. I've learned vocal warmups and all kind of things to elevate what I'm already doing. What is cool is that they haven't tried to change me as an artist. They've only helped me harness my talents and make me better. You'll definitely see some evolution from me.
"It's not like I do a bunch of vocal acrobatics or anything. I had to perform, and I had to really mean what I was saying…. I knew that was probably my best bet."
Compared to other competitions, like Kollaboration, for example, how much more did you have to prepare for The Voice?
Kollaboration was great. I think it was more of an independent thing. You kind of get up there and do your thing. There was really no coaching or anything like that. In terms of preparing for this, we had a good amount of time to consult with vocalists, teachers, and choreographers. They kind of went through every aspect of your performance. That's really something that I've never done before because I'm usually up there with a guitar singing. I've had to think about eye contact and engaging with the audience. I went into The Voice with a lot of issues like looking down a lot or being shy, and it was nice to have a good amount of time to prepare and really focus on this minute and a half. I mean I usually have 20-30 minute sets or maybe even an hour sometimes; it's just crazy to put all this time and commitment into this minute and a half that can possibly be the most important minute and a half of your life.
What kind of things do you think you will learn with Team Gwen? Were you a fan of Gwen Stefani prior to the show?
I was a fan. I've always been a fan of Gwen Stefani and No Doubt. She has pioneered her style and a lot of things in pop music. Just like any of the other four coaches, she's an entertainer. During her feedback, she told me that "we are meant to be," and she really loves what I was doing. She makes me learn that it's not just the music and the singing and all that. It's all about image, the whole package, and branding. She's huge on that. We talked a little bit about that [the business side of things]. She's just a really cool person to work with, and I just wanted to be a sponge as long as I could and soak up all the information.
Do you have a strategy to the type of songs you will choose during the competition?
There's a method to the madness. I ended up with "Give me Love" because it was very familiar to me. Ed Sheeran is just such a good writer. Gwen Stefani said, "I sing with my heart." It was such a good song for me to emote because I definitely had to think "how am I going to get these judges to turn?" It's not like I do a bunch of vocal acrobatics or anything. I had to perform, and I had to really mean what I was saying. It was just a song that I really connected with — it's such an emotional song and not with just the lyrics but also with the arrangements. I just really wanted to connect with a song. I knew that was probably my best bet.
Do you see yourself trying something riskier on the show and venturing away from the acoustic alternative sound?
A lot of people play the guitar because they need an instrument to accompany them. That's kind of what my story is. I'm a musician, and I love playing guitar — I play all kind of instruments — but I guess the guitar has kind of been my tool that I use to make music. But by no means do I want to be just an acoustic artist. I'm a full-time producer and recording engineer. I love arranging music. The material that I'm writing right now is not necessarily acoustic music. It has a lot of different elements. I'm trying to branch into more of an indie-ambient, alternative sound. I can totally see myself doing that kind of stuff. I mean you don't want to remain the same as an artist. You want to keep growing. I try to keep that in mind when writing music.
Although you're currently committed to The Voice, are you still working on an album or other personal projects?
Right now, my focus in on The Voice, but at the same time I'm writing whenever I can. My process right now is really interesting. I consider myself a musical schizophrenic because I'm all over the place. One day I like this; one day I like that. Right now, I'm writing. Can I tell you what my next album will sound like? Probably not because there's just so many different things that I have going on. I have a very humble home studio, and I have artists coming in all the time from all kind of genres. I'm always kind of bouncing back and forth, but I can tell you that I'm just trying to stay true to myself. I'm never thinking about making a Top 40 hit or anything like that. I just want to make honest, good music that people enjoy listening to, and I think that's really all I can say about it.
How will you prepare yourself for all the criticism that you might hear or read about in the media?
I consider myself to have pretty thick skin. I love constructive criticism, but if someone is just being a jerk about me, then I never really take it too personally. While I was at The Voice, the producers warned us that there's going to be press, and people will say bad things about you. You kind of learn how to deal with it. We had a good amount of meetings about how to deal with that kind of stuff. You can't stop people from saying terrible things about you. But I also feel like if you have haters, then you're doing something right. If someone's not hating what you're doing then you're not pushing any boundaries and you're not moving forward. I need haters! I'm actually trying to figure out how I can get more.
"I don't want people to see me as just 'the Asian Guy on The Voice.' I want people to see me as an artist, a singer/songwriter. I don't want to subscribe to labels. I just want people to see me as me. I just want the music to speak for itself."
What kind of things do you want the audience/media to know about you?
I don't want people to see me as just "the Asian Guy on The Voice." I want people to see me as an artist, a singer/songwriter. I don't want to subscribe to labels. I just want people to see me as me. I just want the music to speak for itself. I feel like there's so many elements in entertainment that distract from the message. The things that happen in my personal life, that's just kind of my business. I really haven't thought too much about what people are going to say because I'm trying to do what makes me happy. Chasing a dream like this, there's always people that are going to be discouraging. I remember first trying out for this show, and I had a friend who was pretty negative — I don't know if I should call him a friend actually — he was like "I don't know why you're going on that show, man, there's just so many good singers." And there's always going to be people who will discourage you like that and especially in this industry. All you can do is brush it off and keep doing you.
What's next for you whether you win or lose the competition?
Win or lose, I'm going to keep pushing. I have the same dream that I've had for years and years. I plan to come out with a sophomore release next year. And whatever happens, happens. The main reason why I did The Voice was so that I could gain exposure and hopefully make the right contacts. Throughout the season, I'm hoping that more people see me, and I do well. You'll definitely see more of me so nothing to worry about there. I'm just taking it day by day, and I'm honestly kind of just feeling blessed about everything and kind of just soaking it all in right now.

9 Best Vitamins for Sleep
Sometimes vitamin deficiencies can be a root cause of sleep disruption. That means that one or more of these nutrients may be all that's standing between you and restorative rest.
Every product is independently selected by our editors. If you buy something through our links, we may earn an affiliate commission.
Elusive sleep
LightField Studios/Shutterstock
If it's 2 AM and you're reading this article in hopes of finding a solution to your endless tossing and turning, you're not alone: Between 50 and 70 million U.S. adults suffer from some form of sleep disorder, including insomnia, according to the American Sleep Association.
Unfortunately, chronic sleep deprivation can have serious health consequences. One study published in the journal Sleep found that sleeping less than seven hours per night on a regular basis doubles your mortality risk and sleeping less than six hours quadruples your risk.
Americans spent $41 billion on sleep aids and remedies in 2015. "That's more than they spend on any other ailment, making sleeplessness the biggest epidemic facing the nation today," according to David Friedman, RND, a board certified alternative medical practitioner in Wilmington, NC.
But there may be more to blame than your stressful lifestyle, graveyard shift work, or staying glued to your smartphone while lying in bed. "An often overlooked factor in sleep problems is a vitamin deficiency," says internist Arielle Levitan, MD, co-author of The Vitamin Solution: Two Doctors Clear the Confusion About Vitamins and Your Health. "We need adequate levels of key nutrients to get good quality sustained sleep." Following are some of the best-known vitamins and minerals that could help you get the ZZZs you need.
Vitamin C

You probably already know of vitamin C's importance to your immune system, but did you also know it's vital to sleep? According to a 2014 study published in PLOS ONE, people who have low blood levels of vitamin C had more sleep issues and were more prone to waking up during the night. Of course citrus fruits are high in C—but these foods have more vitamin C than an orange. You could also pop a vitamin C gummy for extra assurance.

Iron helps transport oxygen throughout your body, which is why a deficiency can leave you feeling fatigued. Remember how Popeye eats spinach and becomes strong and powerful? Yep, spinach is packed with iron. An iron deficiency has been linked to restless leg syndrome, a condition that causes uncomfortable sensations in the legs and an urge to move the legs when falling asleep. Dr. Levitan and her co-author, endocrinologist Romy Block, MD, say iron deficiency is common—particularly among women. If you have iron-deficiency anemia, you may need to take a supplement. You can also try to get more these iron-rich foods into your diet.
This essential mineral assists your body in producing the sleep hormone melatonin. Magnesium also relieves muscle tension that can prevent restful sleep; it can even help ease tension by encouraging production of an amino acid known as GABA, which that relaxes the nervous system. Carolyn Dean, MD, ND, a medical and naturopathic doctor in Kihei, HI, estimates that more than 75 percent of Americans aren't getting the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of magnesium. Dr. Dean recommends aiming for a 600 mg dosage via a magnesium citrate powder that you can dissolve in water. However, you shouldn't supplement if you have kidney failure or an excessively slow heart rate, she says; instead, enjoy foods with higher magnesium content, such as green leafy veggies, pumpkin sesame seeds, and Brazil nuts.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 keeps the body's nerve and blood cells healthy and helps the body create energy. Dr. Levitan sees many patients—particularly vegans, vegetarians, and older adults—who are deficient in vitamin B12. Low vitamin B12 levels can cause fatigue, sleep disturbances, numbness and tingling, and other symptoms.

L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid—your body uses amino acids to build proteins. You need tryptophan to make niacin, a B vitamin vital to serotonin, which is a neurotransmitter that helps produce healthy sleep patterns. Since your body cannot make tryptophan on its own, it must come from your diet (foods such as eggs, poultry, chia seeds, and sweet potatoes) or supplements. Tryptophan-rich foods aren't the only ones that may help you sleep better—try a few of these sleep-supportive bedtime snacks.
At night, the pineal gland of the brain produces a hormone called melatonin. Melatonin helps regulate the body's day/night circadian rhythm, including the timing with which other hormones are released. Research suggests that taking a melatonin supplement can help you get your beauty rest. Dr. Friedman recommends starting with a low 1 mg dose and says it's crucial to time it right for your sleep pattern: If you are able to fall asleep, but have a hard time staying asleep, try taking a controlled-release formulation 30 minutes before going to bed; if you have a hard time falling asleep, a better option is a quick-release sublingual or liquid form, taken an hour before bed. If you wake up in the middle of the night, don't take melatonin to go back to sleep, as this will throw off your internal clock. Find out a few more things you should know before taking melatonin.
Vitamin D

Research suggests there may be a link between low levels of vitamin D. and poor sleep quality. The Food and Nutrition Board's recommended intake for the vitamin is 600 IUs daily; however,Your body can only produce this fat-soluble vitamin when sunlight hits your skin, and it's difficult to get enough from food and Dr. Levitan and Dr. Block find many patients need higher doses to maintain normal serum levels. It's important to talk with your doctor about your individual nutrient needs, as too much vitamin D can lead to constipation, nausea, vomiting, and kidney stones.

A study in The Journal of Sleep Research that found calcium deficiency could disrupt the dream cycle of sleep known as rapid eye movement (REM). When the researchers brought calcium levels up to normal, the volunteers regained normal REM sleep. You can get the mineral from dairy or you can also eat more foods like kale, mustard, collard greens, sardines, and sesame seeds to boost your calcium intake. The National Institute of Health (NIH) intake recommendations are 1,000 mg for adults ages 19 to 50 and 1,200 mg for those 51 and older. If you're not meeting that amount, you may need to take a supplement to make up the difference.
Omega 3s

Omega 3s are healthy fats that known for their many benefits to heart and brain health. Some research has also linked omega-3 supplementation with better sleep. Fatty fish like salmon have a lot of omega-3s—but if you're not a seafood fan, try these seven omega-3 foods that don't include fish.

The prestigious Women's Prize for Fiction celebrates the best books by women each year. Why not reserve a title from the 2019 longlist today?
Freshwater, by Akwaeke Emezi
"Narrated from the perspectives of the various selves within Ada, and based in the author's realities, Freshwater explores the metaphysics of identity and being."
Milkman, by Anna Burns
"In this unnamed city, to be interesting is dangerous. Middle sister, our protagonist, is busy attempting to keep her mother from discovering her maybe-boyfriend and to keep everyone in the dark about her encounter with Milkman.
"But when first brother-in-law sniffs out her struggle, and rumours start to swell, middle sister becomes 'interesting'. The last thing she ever wanted to be. To be interesting is to be noticed and to be noticed is dangerous."
My Sister, the Serial Killer, by Oyinkan Braithwaite
"When Korede's dinner is interrupted one night by a distress call from her sister, Ayoola, she knows what's expected of her: bleach, rubber gloves, nerves of steel and a strong stomach. This'll be the third boyfriend Ayoola's dispatched in, quote, self-defence and the third mess that her lethal little sibling has left Korede to clear away. She should probably go to the police for the good of the menfolk of Nigeria, but she loves her sister and, as they say, family always comes first.
"Until, that is, Ayoola starts dating the fit doctor where Korede works as a nurse. Korede's long been in love with him, and isn't prepared to see him wind up with a knife in his back: but to save one would mean sacrificing the other."
Normal People, by Sally Rooney
"Connell and Marianne grow up in the same small town in rural Ireland. The similarities end there; they are from very different worlds. When they both earn places at Trinity College in Dublin, a connection that has grown between them lasts long into the following years.
"This is an exquisite love story about how a person can change another person's life - a simple yet profound realisation that unfolds beautifully over the course of the novel. It tells us how difficult it is to talk about how we feel and it tells us - blazingly - about cycles of domination, legitimacy and privilege."
Swan Song, by Kelleigh Greenberg-Jephcott
"They told him everything. He told everyone else.
"Over countless martini-soaked Manhattan lunches, they shared their deepest secrets and greatest fears. On exclusive yachts sailing the Mediterranean, on private jets streaming towards Jamaica, on Yucatán beaches in secluded bays, they gossiped about sex, power, money, love and fame. They never imagined he would betray them so absolutely."
Remembered, by Yvonne Battle-Felton
"It is 1910 and Philadelphia is burning. The last place Spring wants to be is in the rundown, coloured section of a hospital surrounded by the groans of sick people and the bickering ghost of her dead sister. But as her son Edward lays dying, she has no other choice.
"There are whispers that Edward drove a streetcar into a shop window. Some people think it was an accident, others claim that it was his fault, the police are certain that he was part of a darker agenda. Is he guilty? Can they find the truth?
"All Spring knows is that time is running out. She has to tell him the story of how he came to be. With the help of her dead sister, newspaper clippings and reconstructed memories, she must find a way to get through to him. To shatter the silences that her governed her life, she will do everything she can to lead him home."
Circe, by Madeline Miller
"In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe has neither the look nor the voice of divinity, and is scorned and rejected by her kin.
"Increasingly isolated, she turns to mortals for companionship, leading her to discover a power forbidden to the gods: witchcraft. When love drives Circe to cast a dark spell, wrathful Zeus banishes her to the remote island of Aiaia. There she learns to harness her occult craft, drawing strength from nature.
"But she will not always be alone; many are destined to pass through Circe's place of exile, entwining their fates with hers. The messenger god, Hermes. The craftsman, Daedalus. A ship bearing a golden fleece. And wily Odysseus, on his epic voyage home."
An American Marriage, by Tayari Jones
"Newlyweds Celestial and Roy are the embodiment of both the American Dream and the New South. He is a young executive, and she is an artist on the brink of an exciting career. But as they settle into the routine of their life together, they are ripped apart by circumstances neither could have imagined. Roy is arrested and sentenced to 12 years for a crime Celestial knows he didn't commit.
"Though fiercely independent, Celestial finds herself bereft and unmoored, taking comfort in Andre, her childhood friend and best man at their wedding. As Roy's time in prison passes, she is unable to hold on to the love that has been her centre."
Ordinary People, by Diana Evans
"South London, 2008. Two couples find themselves at a moment of reckoning, on the brink of acceptance or revolution.
"Melissa has a new baby and doesn't want to let it change her but, in the crooked walls of a narrow Victorian terrace, she begins to disappear. Michael, growing daily more accustomed to his commute, still loves Melissa but can't get close enough to her to stay faithful.
"Meanwhile out in the suburbs, Stephanie is happy with Damian and their three children, but the death of Damian's father has thrown him into crisis - or is it something or someone else? Are they all just in the wrong place? Are any of them prepared to take the leap?"
Praise Song for the Butterflies, by Bernice L. McFadden
"Abebe Tsikata lives a comfortable, happy life in West Africa as the privileged nine-year-old daughter of a government employee and stay-at-home mother. But when the Tsikatas' idyllic lifestyle takes a turn for the worse, Abebe's father, following his mother's advice, places her in a religious shrine, hoping that the sacrifice of his daughter will serve as religious atonement for the crimes of his ancestors.
"Unspeakable acts befall Abebe for the 15 years she is enslaved within the shrine. When she is finally rescued, broken and battered, she must struggle to overcome her past, endure the revelation of family secrets, and learn to trust and love again."
The Silence of the Girls, by Pat Barker
"When her city falls to the Greeks, Briseis's old life is shattered. She is transformed from queen to captive, from free woman to slave, awarded to the god-like warrior Achilles as a prize of war. And she's not alone. On the same day, and on many others in the course of a long and bitter war, innumerable women have been wrested from their homes and flung to the fighters.
"The Trojan War is known as a man's story: a quarrel between men over a woman, stolen from her home and spirited across the sea. But what of the other women in this story, silenced by history? What words did they speak when alone with each other, in the laundry, at the loom, when laying out the dead?"
Lost Children Archive, by Valeria Luiselli
"Suppose you and Pa were gone, and we were lost. What would happen then?
"A family in New York packs the car and sets out on a road trip. A mother, a father, a boy and a girl, they head south west, to the Apacheria, the regions of the US which used to be Mexico. They drive for hours through desert and mountains. They stop at diners when they're hungry and sleep in motels when it gets dark. The little girl tells surreal knock knock jokes and makes them all laugh. The little boy educates them all and corrects them when they're wrong. The mother and the father are barely speaking to each other."
Number One Chinese Restaurant, by Lillian Li
"The popular Beijing Duck House in Rockville, Maryland has been serving devoted regulars for decades, but behind the staff's professional masks simmer tensions, heartaches and grudges from decades of gruelling service work.
"When Duck House manager Jimmy Han tries to sell his father's old restaurant to move to a more upscale location, these conflicts are set loose, testing the bonds of this working family."
The Pisces, by Melissa Broder
"Lucy, staying in a beautiful home overlooking Venice Beach, can find no peace from her misery - not in therapy, not in Tinder hook-ups, not in her sister's dog's unquestioning devotion, not in ruminating on the ancient Greeks. Yet everything changes when she becomes entranced by an eerily attractive swimmer one night while sitting alone on the beach rocks."
Ghost Wall, by Sarah Moss
"Teenage Silvie is living in a remote Northumberland camp as an exercise in experimental archaeology. Her father is an abusive man, obsessed with recreating the discomfort, brutality and harshness of Iron Age life.
"Behind and ahead of Silvie's narrative is the story of a bog girl, a sacrifice, a woman killed by those closest to her, and as the hot summer builds to a terrifying climax, Silvie and the Bog girl are in ever more terrifying proximity."
Bottled Goods, by Sophie Llewyn
"When Alina's brother-in-law defects to the West, she and her husband become persons of interest to the secret services, causing both of their careers to come grinding to a halt. As the strain takes its toll on their marriage, Alina turns to her aunt for help - the wife of a communist leader and a secret practitioner of the old folk ways.
"Set in 1970s Communist Romania, this novella-in-flash draws upon magic realism to weave a tale of everyday troubles."

I've been a huge fan of PyTorch since the last year, especially when it quickly got all necessary functionality for sophisticated computer vision models - without added complexity of TF. But today PyTorch team announced the production-ready release of PyTorch - here are just a few things to be excited about.
JIT compiler
This is by far the biggest one. In TF ecosystem there are a few tools that make the deployment to production very simple, be it a cluster of servers or a smartphone. Even NVIDIA with their rapid development of TensorRT library that allows to perform a whole bunch of optimizations out of the box and compilation to a native binary, is mostly oriented towards TF/Caffe.
The biggest issue with running PyTorch in production was the fact that it's still in Python, so no real HPC for you. All "tweaks" were limited to "eval" mode and disabled gradients during the inference:
v = Variable(input_image, volatile=True).cuda(async=True)
# and that's about it
With the new JIT compiler this issue is going to be removed - since you don't need to compute gradients anymore, you can have significant speedups from the core features:
- Compiling to a native binary.
- Fusing some operations together, most notable Convolution + BatchNorm + ReLU becomes one operation, same as they did in TensorRT.
- Ditching all additional operations required for computing gradients - no additional memory allocation is a massive improvement, especially in systems with high throughput requirements like a self-driving car.
- Built-in weight quantization - a very big win for smartphones and embedded systems.
One of the difficulties with a dynamic computational graphs, the computational model that serves as a foundation for PyTorch and Chainer, was the question about tracing the operations written inside your model in Python and compiling them correctly (preferably, with optimizations):
def forward(self, input_imgs, additional_features):
# how the hell do you compile that?
feat_1, feat_2 = additional_features
feats = self.encoder(input_imgs)
fusion = torch.cat([feats, feat_1], 1) + feat_2
return self.decoder(fusion)
The announced JIT compiler includes a trace module that's already partially implemented, it takes a constructed network and converts it into a function that can be compiled further:
# This will run your nn.Module or regular Python function with the example
# input that you provided. The returned callable can be used to re-execute
# all operations that happened during the example run, but it will no longer
# use the Python interpreter.
from torch.jit import trace
traced_model = trace(model, example_input=input)
traced_fn = trace(fn, example_input=input)
# The training loop doesn't change. Traced model behaves exactly like an
# nn.Module, except that you can't edit what it does or change its attributes.
# Think of it as a "frozen module".
for input, target in data_loader:
loss = loss_fn(traced_model(input), target)
The code from official announce
We might expect minor issues early on with some implementations of seq2seq networks that have some non-trivial operations inside them, but here comes another great thing:
Script mode
To make sure that slightly more complicated parts of your code will be executed correctly after compilation,
@script annotation provides you with an explicit way to control your workflow. Most of that code will depend not on tensor operations in Torch backend, but on Python code which is the source of slowdowns. When these sections are compiled, this issue goes away, and I'm particularly excited about this one.
It's taking the flexibility of ONNX import to Caffe2 that's available right now to a new level where you can hack a network, then convert it into a production-ready version almost instantly, avoiding all possible conflicts between two libraries that still happen from time to time.
Engineering perspective
From what I've learned profiling different parts of rather heavy networks (object detection, segmentation, depth perception), weight-heavy convolution layers are not the main source of latency as one might think. Fast cuDNN implementation makes it actually the fastest operation after some really lightweight things like elementwise multiplication or addition. The main culprits were complex control flow modules, like Region Proposal Networks in Faster R-CNN, which can still be too slow, and even without additional optimization getting them as C++ runtimes would be a significant boost.

We can make our programs much more interesting if we allow the users of the program to interact with them by supplying input. We can do this with the
gets method (pronounced "get S", short for "get string"), which will pause the program and wait for the user to type something in the terminal and press return. The return value of the
gets method will be a
String containing what the user typed, which we can store in a variable and then process further like any other
For example, rather than saying "Hello, world!", let's have the computer say hello to the user by name instead. When you run this program, it will pause after saying
"What's your name?" and you will have to type something in and press return. Click on the terminal to put focus there, and then you'll be able to type into it:
Great! Our first user input. However, you'll notice a couple of things. First of all, there's a
\n sneaking into the input.
\n represents a newline character, and it's in there because of the return that is pressed to submit the input.
If you want to see the newline in action, we can use a different printing method called
puts (pronounced "put S", short for "put string").
puts is actually the printing method that is used most when crafting the final output of command-line programs; as opposed to
p, which is used most for making the invisible visible while debugging. Try switching
p "Hello, " + their_name + "!"
puts "Hello, " + their_name + "!"
and see how the output is different.
You can see that the quotes around the string are removed, which makes sense if you're actually displaying output to a user and not debugging — users should not know or care about the quotes around Ruby string literals. And the newline character causes a line break when a string is printed with
puts, as it should.
Most of the time, we'll stick with
p, since it provides more details while debugging; but it's good to know that
puts exists.
We almost never want to keep the
\n that results from the return keypress that submits the user's input. Fortunately, the handy
.chomp method does exactly what we need — if there's a
\n at the end of a string, it will remove it; if there isn't, it does nothing. So, in practice, when we call
gets we almost always tack a
.chomp on to it immediately. Try modifying the program to:
their_name = gets.chomp
and see how it's different.

Picture it: Houston. 2009. Among the greatest restaurants and high school marching bands that Texas has to offer, Amberley Motz emerged from her hometown to strike it big on the Wasatch Front. After countless rehearsals, pizza bites, and episodes of the Golden Girls, Amberley graduated with a bachelor's degree in music education and an intolerance for lactose (sorry, pizza bites). Although she'd spent her summers in college working at various YMCAs, it wasn't until a year later that she ultimately landed in the afterschool world, putting her passion for education to use by increasing the quality and range of American Preparatory Academy's afterschool programming. Now that she spends her days at UAN, Amberley uses her creativity and humor to encourage all levels of afterschool staff to engage with youth and families through professional learning opportunities. Out of the office, you'll find Amberley playing her French horn in a local ensemble or digging into those Tex-Mex roots to track down the best salsa in the valley. (Hint: it's in Sandy.)

In the next couple of weeks, all the fire and glitter lit by Big Boss Season 2 is coming to a close as the season is going to end. That said, the ball is now set to roll for a mega finale week with many people betting on their favourites already.
While many hope that Kaushal is going to walk away with all the honours, some feel that Tanish would do and others have that Geetha Madhuri will be crowned as the winner. Whoever it may be, a rumour says that Geetha will not be made a crorepati after this show. Wonder why?
Though the prize money is 50 lakhs only, already every contestant is being paid a certain amount of money to stay in the house. An insider revealed us that Geetha is the highest paid among the lot and guess who's getting the least? It is none other than Kaushal. Big Boss team never expected that this TV serial actor will get such a stupendous response and stay in the race for the crown. As he's only a TV serials guy, he's being paid less and the ones close to his pay are TV9 Deepthi and Amit.
Cut to our topic, as Geetha is already paid close to 20,000 thousand per each day in the house, already she made huge money for the 90 odd days she's there. That's why Big Boss team is said to be feeling like they will avoid Geetha from getting crowned. Let's see what happens in case if these rumours are true.
