Prime Wardrobe is AMAZING! Check out my very first picks and why I love this service!
Have you thought about trying Stitch Fix, or another styling service, but hesitated because you were leery to let someone else pick your clothes and didn't want to pay a styling fee? Amazon's Prime Wardrobe is your answer! This service is fantastic!
With Prime Wardrobe, you pick up to 8 items to try for 7 days. Amazon ships them to you with a prepaid return label. You send back what you don't want and only pay for what you keep. And no styling fee!! It's that simple!
Check out what I got in my first Prime Wardrobe box!
Prime Wardrobe Fall Picks Review
Napa Valley Women's Cashmerlon Duster Cardigan ($32.99)
This is a fantastic classic open front cardigan. The color is as neutral as you can get and goes with almost anything. I like the length and the thickness – not too thick, not too thin. And the cable knit detail at the front is so pretty. It fits true to size (I'm wearing a medium).
Jockey Women's Cocoon Wrap ($29.99)
Oh my gosh, this cocoon wrap is SO COZY. The fabric is like a thin cross between t-shirt and sweatshirt material and it is incredibly soft. I love how the sleeves are fitted at the forearm. It just adds to the coziness! And I find the oval/tapered cut to be flattering. This piece is super versatile too. I think you could easily use this in an everyday casual look or an athleisure look. The fit is true to size (I'm wearing a medium).
Arabella Women's Sweater Fleck Draped Cardigan ($20.70)
Another crazy comfy-cozy piece! The body of this cardigan is like a blanket! Of course, this would be a cute layering piece for a fall or winter outfit. But I would also totally wear this just around the house. The fabric in the arms isn't as thick, which might be weird. I don't mind because I don't like things to be super bulky under my arms. It fits true to size (I'm wearing a medium).
Daily Ritual Women's Jersey Bunch-Sleeve Top ($19.00)
Pardon the wrinkles (hazards of trying things on right out of the box). I love the fabric of this top. It has such a nice drape. The length is good too. If you're looking for a basic black top that can be dressy or casual and be worn year-round, this is a great pick. It fits true to size (I'm wearing a medium).
J.Crew Mercantile Women's Flannel Shirt ($36.50)
I've been looking for another good button down plaid shirt. You can wear them so many ways! I like the fit of this one, although it is a bit of a slimmer fit. I tend to prefer things a bit more relaxed around the midsection, but I don't think you can really get that with a classic button down top. This one is true to size (I'm wearing a medium).
7 For All Mankind Women's Dojo in Santiago Canyon ($159)
Can I just say that I am LOVING that bootcut and bell-bottom jeans are back?? These are taking me right back to high school! I've wanted a pair of 7 For All Mankind jeans for forever, so I put these in my Prime Wardrobe box to try. Hey, why not since I don't have to pay a dime unless I keep them? I love the fit and the denim has a soft, broken in feel. They're true to size (I'm wearing a size 31).
Sorel Women's Winter Carnival Snow Boot ($110.66)
I'm in the market for a new pair of snow boots, so I ordered these to try. They're very comfy and I love that the top isn't stiff. They're flexible at the ankle so walking/hiking isn't difficult. These are true to size (I'm wearing 7.5).
Dr. Scholl's Women's Harlow Boot ($95)
These wedges are actually super comfortable! They are Dr. Scholl's brand and the soles are a little squishy. I did find them a bit difficult to get on my foot since they don't have a zipper or anything. They triangle panels are elastic, but don't stretch a ton. The bottoms are not wood, but a foam faux wood material. These are so simple, yet stylish and could be worn year-round. They fit true to size (I'm wearing a 7.5).
* * *
If you like the idea of trying before you buy, but aren't too keen to have a stranger pick your clothing for you, I highly recommend Prime Wardrobe! It's basically the best of both worlds. You are limited to what Amazon has in stock and available for Prime Wardrobe, so there is a downside. And you may not pick things for yourself to try that a stylist might have chosen for you. But if you're in the market for something specific or you're looking to fill gaps in your wardrobe, this could be a great option for you!
If you have any questions at all about Prime Wardrobe, I'm happy to help. Just comment below! 🙂

There are many options available for building a roof. In this article, we want to explain the basics of roof development. Whether you want to be aware of what your home builder is doing or you want to try a DIY project, we can help.
Steve Allen Construction of Ocala, Fla. wants to help you learn more about the stages of roof development. We have been servicing the central Fla. area for over 35 years and would like to offer our experience and insight to you. Read further to learn more.
Step One
One of the first stages of roof development is fixing the wall plate. This is the wooden beam that is situated to the top of each wall. The purpose of this piece is to allow easy fixing of the timber at the wall interface. Modern enhancements to these plates include metal straps that tie them to the walls.
Step Two
After you fix any wall plates, you will place the loft floor / ceiling joists. These pieces are nailed into the wall plates at each end and can also be nailed together when they meet on the central spine wall. This will create a working platform for the roof assembly and can help resist the forces applied by the rafters that, when under load, would normally be spread to the supporting walls.
Step Three
The next piece of wood to prepare is the ridge beam. This will serve as a joining place for all of the rafters at the top of the roof. Roofs that include large windows on one side might require this piece to be stronger or substituted for a steel joist. For symmetrical roofs, weight is distributed more evenly.
Once you have prepared the ridge beam, the first pattern rafter can be cut. This will need to be precisely cut and measured so that the correct angles and position of the birdsmouth joint can be cut. Once you have created the pattern, all rafters can be cut from this template. An end pair of rafters can be fixed in place at the base first, and then one end of the ridge can be inserted between and tacked into place.
Step Four
The last step is to install purlins before any significant load is applied on the rafters. The purlins support the rafters at the mid span, or at the one-third or two-third spans if used as a pair. The purlins are fixed to gable end walls when available and rest on small projections of corbelled brickwork. If there are no gable ends, struts can be used to prop the purlin and transfer some of the load to either the spine wall or loft floor.
There are a lot of steps to building a roof and it is very important to make sure you have created the stability and support your home needs. Take your time and plan ahead for every step.

Choosing a scoliosis doctor is not an easy task and has many things to consider. There is no such thing as the "best" doctor in the United States, or the "perfect" doctor who is right for everyone. The patient/doctor relationship is exactly that, a relationship. As such there are many subjective and unique dynamics that impact who the "right" doctor is for each person.
What we do need at a minimum is to make sure that we have a doctor who is properly trained and licensed in their field. We need someone who has the education, expertise, and experience to assess our medical problems and advise us as to what options we have and why a particular course of action is recommended. One major source of Orthopedic Spine specialists is the Scoliosis Research Society, and you can find the doctors in your state by going to www.srs.org/locator and putting only the state abbreviation in the designated field.
Many well-known scoliosis spine specialists have done thousands of spine surgeries. The experience of these doctors can certainly be valuable in getting a proper diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment recommendation. Whether or not you follow the particular advice of a doctor or choose him/her for treatment is up to you (and perhaps your insurance company). Very often because of their extensive expertise doctors such as these have actually performed some of the most difficult cases that other surgeons may not undertake. This also means they may have a higher risk of potential complications.
Please keep this in mind as you listen to other patient's comments and experiences. Their experience is very valuable, but the whole situation must be kept in perspective. I encourage everyone to consider a second opinion no matter which doctor you choose to go to, and especially if you do not feel satisfied. I would add however that for most people who live near any major cities there are appropriate spine specialists to cover the majority of scoliosis care needed. Extensive traveling is usually not necessary and may add considerable physical, logistic, and financial burdens that can be detrimental to your treatment and follow up care.

E74, 1 flashing red light
The E74 fault is also a common Xbox 360 fault. I have repaired a lot of Xbox 360's that have had this fault. People say the the main cause is the ANA/HANA chip but other say not. All the ones I have repaired have not had a problem with the ANA/HANA chip, it has been down to the GPU yet again, It is sometimes dry/cold solder underneath the GPU but usually, E74 is a failing GPU.

Christina Ashcroft is an ex-pat Brit who now lives in Western Australia with her high school sweetheart, their three children, an eccentric Maltese-cross and three regal cats.
Between an angel and a desperate woman comes salvation—and a raw passion that challenges them at every turn…
When Aurora Robinson attempts to open a rift between dimensions to embrace her true heritage, an arrogant archangel is the only one who can save her from the jaws of hell. And while she owes Gabriel her life, she's determined not to fall at his feet—despite the desire she feels whenever they're together.
After his wings were brutally destroyed millennia ago, Gabriel has no compassion for humans like those who ruined him and betrayed the ones he loved. But when he inexplicably finds himself defying ancient protocols to rescue a woman from a fate worse than death, he is shocked by the searing attraction he feels for a mortal.
As the ancient forces that seek to punish Aurora for her actions close in, Gabriel offers the tempting woman protection at his private sanctuary. But as they both succumb to their desires, they discover an even deeper connection—one that threatens to consume them.

Bring the outside inside for
With the cold weather here, we're spending less and less time outside.
And while there's something cozy about curling up on the couch beside an open fire or with the heating cranked up, cabin fever really can set in during those long winter months.
The perfect compromise? Bring the outside inside!
Metricon Homes' regional west manager Simon Taylor said the outdoors had a natural appeal for people.
"Spending time outside whether at the beach, hiking, or even at your local park, makes us feel refreshed and calm.
"For many people, one of the biggest benefits of living regionally is being able to take advantage of the outdoors.
"The revitalisation we get from nature is still important during the winter months even though it's more difficult to spend time outside.
"So, why not emulate the outdoors in your home using just a few simple techniques and tricks?
He said plants were probably the first thing that came to mind when thinking of freshening up a home, and they were certainly a great option to replicate the outdoors.
"There are endless choices from the on-trend hanging basket to a large indoor palm, and even a faux plant can refresh a space.
"But there are so many other ways to truly bring that outdoors feel in your home."
Here is Metricon's simple guide to bringing the outside indoors:
Materials – through your décor and soft furnishings, make the most of natural fibres and materials.
Rattan, wicker and jute are all good options for your baskets, rugs and lampshades, and will create instant ambiance.
Flooring – opt for natural flooring, instead of man-made, there are some great Australian timbers such as Tasmanian Oak or Spotted Gum, but any wood, cork or bamboo flooring will feel warm and natural underfoot.
Colour – using earthy tones throughout your home can make it feel more connected to the landscape.
Choose neutral tones such as beiges, browns and greys as a base colour, and then weave various shades of green and ocean or sky blues throughout, in items such as cushions or artwork, you can even add a peppering of gold or yellow, to represent the sun.
Scent – whenever the weather permits it, open the windows and let in some fresh air. Otherwise, incense, diffusers, potpourri or scented candles can bring the floral, beachy or woodsy scents of the outdoors right into your home.
For more information about home styling and designs to suit your regional lifestyle, head to metricon.com.au or visit your nearest Metricon display home.

…Mine-studded bunker is located deeply underground. You have only 60 minutes to get out to the surface. Hurry up! You need to get out as quickly as possible.
Bunker – a new quest from Escape Room. You need to get out of the top secret military bunker. Qualitatively made room with decorations suggesting that the quest belongs to quite famous and promoted franchise. It seemed as not that much puzzles for such a big basement, as well as the objects of the decor were not always related to each other. Sometimes it seemed that the complexity of the puzzles is artificially exaggerated in order to compensate their low number.
Bunker can be recommended to players who are interested in military subjects. By the level of realization this quest loses to the rest of Escape Room quests, however, we need to remember that the creators take their work very seriously and often modify the already existing options – so everything can change .

Sensex climbs up 255 points to close at record high, Nifty breaks 9650-mark
Tata Steel, Adani Ports, and Hindalco gained the most on both indices.
The Bombay Stock Exchange Sensex on Monday closed 255.17 points up at a record high of 31311.57, while the Nifty ended 69.50 points higher at 9657.55. The market's mood got lifted after the Bharatiya Janata Party announced Bihar Governor and Dalit leader Ram Nath Kovind as its presidential nominee.
Besides, banking stocks gained after the Reserve Bank of India asked banks to start bankruptcy process against 12 large loan defaulters. Around 12 loan defaulters had been identified by the RBI last week, but their names were not publicised. "There is a general feeling that non-performing asset (NPA) levels will come down after the RBI order to resolve NPAs of the country," RK Gupta, managing director at Taurus Asset Management, was quoted as saying by Mint.
In intra-day trade, the 30-share Sensex gained as much as 305 points to 31362.15. Auto, infrastructure, FMCG and PSU banks were the top gainers on the Nifty, while pharmaceuticals didn't do too well. Among stocks, Tata Steel, Adani Ports, and Hindalco gained the most on both indices, while Infosys, Dr Reddy's Laboratories, and Eicher Motors were the top losers.
European stocks too opened higher on Monday. Euro STOXX 50 and France's CAC 40 was up 1% each, while Britain's FTSE 100 rose 0.4%.
Earlier in the day, Asian markets also kicked off the week strongly. Japan's Nikkei saw a two-week closing high. Australian and South Korean KOSPI also saw a gain of 0.3% to 0.7%. Chinese and Hong Kong stocks also jumped 1% and 1.2% respectively.

Planning and decorating for parties have always been favorites of mine. I love taking themes and puting twists on them instead of just going to Party City and buying an overabundance of matching movie character supplies. I want to share with you these 5 secrets of mine for party planning that will not break the bank and will have your guests left amazed. This is all from my daughter's 2nd birthday party with a mermaid theme.
- Survey Your Space: It is important to know how much room you have to work with and plan accordingly. Simple is best and try not to go overboard. We had my daughter's birthday party at our clubhouse, which was just the right size for the amount of guests we had.
2. Decorations: Instead of the typical character theme, try concentrating on colors that associate with what you are going for. Examples would be in the table cloths, balloons, and little table decorations. Since we threw a general mermaid party, we did not use The Little Mermaid products. I chose iridescent table cloths and clear balloons to resemble bubbles. For the center pieces, I used mason jars to hold sand, sea glass, and shells that can be purchased in bags from Walmart.
Tip: If you are crafty, add a little touch of creativity to a table. I took a wooden box, painted it blue, and glued shells on top to make it look like a treasure chest surrounded with gold chocolate coins.
3. Food: Think of some snack foods you can put on the tables that correspond with your look. For example, since we are using the mermaid/under the sea theme, some good choices are goldfish, sea salt chips, little sheets of dried seaweed, and salted pretzels.
4. Cake: This is something I usually splurge a little more on if possible for birthday parties, without going overboard, because I think presentation matters. By any means, it does not have to be an elaborate, costly, 3 tier cake. I just look for fun, simplistic, yet well designed cakes that do not cost a fortune.
5. Favors: I love ending the celebration with creativity and thoughtfulness. I usually make something and attach my child's picture on it for the guests to have a memory of. This year, I filled tiny glass cork bottles from Amazon with sand and mini shells. I then tied Scarlett's picture around the top.
Remember, less is more. You do not have to be artistic or creative. It's the little things that make a party come together. Apply these tips to your next party and they are sure to give a pop to your special day.

I'm often asked if it's valuable to use cue cards or scripts to film video content. I strive to share at least three great points in a video or simple presentation – but scripting is a bit much. Scripting can deter self-expression, and you really want to look and sound natural when you put yourself on camera.
I do, however, have a trick for filming from your phone and staying on topic – Go Tiny!
A tiny "cue card" will cue you to speak about what you've planned to share, but I know just the place to put it for smart filming from your smartphone, iPhone, Android, or GoPro. I sneak it in without distracting my gaze.
You want your audience to feel like you're right there, in the room with them.
So you can't be watching yourself or looking off at the make-shift teleprompter. Click play and watch how my eye contact with the lens stays with you – even when I'm checking my notes!

Crowds flocked to Chester city centre last night (Thursday, December 6) to watch the first of this year's spectacular Winter Watch parades.
Each Christmas, the Winter Watch Parade takes over the streets of Chester to welcome back the City Watch from the 1400s and the Roman Legion from 47/48 AD.
Chester's Karamba Samba band led an extraordinary parade featuring angels, devils, fire skeletons, dragons, ice queens, Jack Frost and cooks with their Victorian Christmas dinner.
The parade started at the Christmas Market in Town Hall Square, passing Chester Cathedral, turning right into Eastgate Street, Bridge Street, then returning to the Town Hall Square via Northgate Street.
The Winter Watch parade takes its inspiration from Setting the Watch, a ceremony held at Christmas in the 1400s when the City Watch was Chester's early police force.
They took control of the keys to the city after processing around Chester to ensure it was secure. This was followed by a banquet and celebration of Christmas by the city leaders.
If you missed last night's extravaganza, there will be a second chance to experience the Wionter Watcjh magic next Thursday, December 13 alongside Chester's Roman Legion for the annual torch lit Saturnalia parade.
This parade leaves the Grosvenor Museum at 6.30pm. After arriving in Eastgate Street the Emperor Domitian will address his subjects before releasing the Lord of Misrule.

Free Rum cocktails? Free food? The team over at Lobo Plantation, Australia's current reigning "Rum Bar of the Year", must be feeling mighty generous. The reason for this is fairly simple: there's going to be a big overhaul to their cocktail list, so they thought it best to celebrate with a huge, completely free party open to everyone. It's a nice way to announce the extended licence too, which has the bar opening until 1am every night from Monday to Saturday.
Titled "Don't Forget The Rum!", the epic free party will usher in change to 12 of the 16 slots on Lobo Plantation's highly regarded cocktail menu, with food and drink all on the house between 6pm and 8pm. It'll be the first chance the general public has to try new concoctions like the Boarding Call Blazer (Bacardi Reserva, limitada, talisker, angostura amaro), the Postage Paid (Bacardi Oro Rum, creme de peche, sparkling wine, honey water, lemon, dandelion burdock bitters, egg white), and Colonial Botanist (Bacardi Superior Rum, dolin blanc, pineapple garden cordial, lemon, fresh grass spray)
"The new cocktails we are launching are like nothing we've produced before, the team has created something truly special", offered Lobo Plantation GM and co-owner Jared Merlino. "We love a piss take, so theming the new menu and the party around Ryan's hiccup seemed like a bit of fun. But it is also a way of steering people towards drinking more Caribbean rum".
That mistake Jared refers to is credited to one of Lobo's senior bartenders, Ryan Snedden, who made it to the final three at the 2017 Bacardi Global Legacy Cocktail Competition only to leave out the main ingredient, Bacardi, when delivering his final cocktail. Hence, "Don't Forget the Rum".
Lobo Plantation's Don't Forget The Rum Party
When: Saturday 1st April; doors from 4pm (cocktails and food on the house between 6pm and 8pm)
Where: Lobo Plantation, 209 Clarence St, Sydney
Entry: Free but no RSVPs, so first in best dressed.

The front part has this 'infinity display,' like Samsung calls it where the screen covers most of the front part of the phone. The bezels are so much reduced to increase on display estate. The top bezel houses the selfie camera, sensors and the call speaker. Volume and power buttons are on opposite sides of this smartphone.

The display of this phone I have talked about already. It comes with a 5.7 inch IPS LCD panel of 80% screen to body ratio. It has a resolution of 1440 x 2880 pixels (561 ppi pixel density). It is a very sharp display that I cannot go without saying. With great viewing angles, good sunlight readability, great color representation and so on, you will get the best of display here on the LG G6+. These are the features of this display (some): HDR video support, scratch resistant glass (corning gorilla glass 3), Ambient light sensor and proximity sensor.
A great display has compliments great camera performance. Here is why. Why would you have a great display to view poor picture quality? LG G6+ has a 13MP primary camera. It is dual camera set up as mentioned earlier. The other (second) primary camera is for taking wide angle pictures. 125 degrees to be precise. Optical image stabilization, auto focus (phase detection), image sensor, manual focus, RAW image, touch to focus, smile detection, voice activation, self timer and so many more are just but a few of the many camera features on board here.
The selfie camera is an impressive 5MP shooter that does just great at its work. It has a wide angle feature as well with same functionality as the second primary camera.
Video recording stands at a minimum of 720p HD and a maximum of 4K. time lapse video, picture taking during video recording and digital image stabilization are among the few video features availed here.
Performance and memory
It comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 chipset, quad core 2350 MHz Kyro (64bit) processor and an Adreno 530 GPU.
Memory wise, it has an internal memory of 128GB which can be expanded up to 2000GB using an SD card. 4GB of RAM run the LG G6+. Performance on this phone is smooth, seamless and without stammer. Multitasking here is a breeze all thanks to the RAM count. Gaming is quite enjoyable because of good processing and graphic card functions.
Battery of the LG G6+
Non-removable 3300mAh battery here with support for wireless charging and quick (50% in 30min) charge. With it you get 30hours of talk time (26 on 3G) and 5.8 days on standby. Amazing is it not?

Changes to the 'Forever' GI Bill - What It Means for You
Created specifically for returning WWII veterans, the GI Bill provides tuition expense benefits for service members to attend a college or vocational/technical school. The Bill underwent a change after the events of 9/11. While it still funded a public undergraduate education to veterans who have served four years on active duty since 9/11, a monthly living stipend while pursuing a degree was added, and as well as the ability to transfer benefits to a spouse or children, to be used within 15 years of service.
Do You Know What to Ask During an Interview?
Many employers have admitted challenges when it comes to evaluating a veteran during a job interview. This is often because veterans have difficulty explaining how their military experience relates to the needs of the civilian employer. Asking the right interview questions can help you determine whether the candidate is a good fit for the position you are filling, as well as how likely they are to succeed within your organization.
Recognition Done Right: Reduce Turnover and Create a Culture of High Performance

Am I Too Old for Implants?
Tooth loss is an issue that affects every aspect of your life. In addition to affecting your smile, tooth loss affects your abilities to eat and speak. It affects your digestion and your overall nutrition. Tooth loss also impacts the health of your jawbone, leading to bone loss. Replacing missing teeth is essential for restoring the functions of those teeth and your quality of life.
There are a few different options for replacing missing teeth, including bridges, dentures, and dental implants. Tooth loss is a common issue faced by older adults and can be caused by gum disease, previous dental issues, and even the wear your teeth have endured over the years. Many older adults often think that they can only get bridges or dentures, believing they are too old for implants. ImplantWide can help to determine if you are a candidate for dental implants.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a modern solution for replacing missing this. This treatment uses small titanium posts, which we surgically implant into your jawbone. As you heal from this procedure, your bone gradually fuses to the posts in a process called osseointegration. This process stabilizes the posts, turning them into the roots that provide support for your new teeth and hold the teeth securely in place. Implants are incredibly versatile and can replace any number of missing teeth, from a single tooth to an entire arch.
Am I Too Old?
It is a common misconception that after a certain age, you are no longer eligible for dental implants. Many older tooth loss patients mistakenly believe that their only options for replacement are bridges or dentures. The truth, however, is that you are never too old to enjoy the benefits that dental implants have to offer.
Many people are living longer, healthier lives. As you get older, though, your risk for tooth loss increases. Many older tooth loss patients are living with full or partial dentures. While modern dentures are more natural in appearance and are designed for greater functionality, they still have significant disadvantages. Dentures can slip out of place or rub your gums, causing painful sores. They also do not stop bone loss in your jaw. Your bone continues to weaken and change shape.
Because your denture does not change with your mouth, a new denture needs to be fabricated every few years. Dental implants help to avoid these, and many other, issues. Implants are just as effective for older patients as they are for younger individuals, and the time it takes to recover after surgery is fairly similar.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants provide many benefits.
Am I a Dental Implant Candidate?
How old you are does not affect your candidacy. There are, however, other factors that need to be considered. These include
To determine your candidacy, we first conduct a thorough consultation. We examine your mouth and go over your medical history. This consultation will help us to determine if implants are indeed the best option for you.
No matter if you are in your 30s, 50s, 70s, or older, you are never too old to enjoy the benefits that dental implants have to offer. If you have suffered tooth loss and interested in replacing your missing teeth with dental implants, call ImplantWide at (630) 394-9787 today.

Eighty-four candidates — most of them Independents — filed their nomination papers on Friday for the May 5 elections to the Legislative Assembly. With this, the total number of nominations has gone up to 111.
Most politicians shied away from filing nominations on April 10 because it was Amavasye . April 11 was a holiday for Ugadi.
Meanwhile, addressing presspersons here, Chief Electoral Officer Anil Kumar Jha said the Central Administrative Tribunal had issued a notice to the Election Commission on an application filed by the former Bangalore Police Commissioner B.G. Jyothi Prakash Mirji challenging his transfer order. "We have got a notice and are studying it," he said.
On April 5, Mirji was transferred and Principal Secretary (Home) Raghavendra H. Auradkar posted in his place.
An official notification said the order was issued as per the direction of Election Commission "for smooth conduct of elections in a free and fair manner".
The CEO said: "the commission is also studying the CAT order on transfer of eight IAS officers."
He said 17.36 lakh applications were received seeking inclusion of names in the voters list. Already, officials have cleared 11.26 lakh applications.

Going to the cinema: why don't people do it more often?
Is everyone's life as complicated as mine? I have to zip back and forth between Maple Ridge, Burnaby, and Vancouver, commuting daily, spread thin all over the map. That's MY excuse for not getting out to see films at the theatre. But what about people who live in Vancouver? Do they even go to the theatre anymore? I hear that the Crime Fest at the Vancity Theatre hasn't been so well-attended, despite a really fun-sounding programme. A couple of feature films I've caught in theatres in the last few months have had surprisingly spare audience turnout - like Jodorowsky's Dance of Reality, say, at the Cinematheque, or even a recent screening of John Wick that I went to in New West (not exactly first run, but it wasn't THAT long after its debut). Is it the shitty weather? ...Maybe there's simply so many options for entertainment ? There are tons of great movies being made, but maybe there are too many, and people are exhausted from having to consume them all the time (or is that just me?).

A Sutton Coldfield pensioner whose eyesight was failing has today been jailed for FOUR years after hitting a three-year-old, in his Volkswagen Passat, as she was walking on a pedestrian crossing with her mum in Boldmere last year.
Poppy-Arabella Clarke who was walking across the light-controlled crossing on Chester Road in Boldmere was struck by John Place's, 72, car on July 6 last year. At the time the little girl was pushing her bike across the road when the traffic lights were on red and the green man was flashing for pedestrians to cross. Poppy-Arabella was hit when he failed to stop, or even see the crossing or other stopped cars.
Poppy was treated by paramedics at the scene but tragically died later in hospital. Her mum Rachel Clarke was hit also hit by Place's vehicle at the time of the incident, leaving her with serious injuries. She had been walking next to her daughter as she crossed the road.
Place of Bakers Lane, Streetly, pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving and causing serious injury by dangerous driving at a hearing, a few weeks ago, on March 3. And was today (20th March) sentenced at Birmingham Crown Court to four years in prison. Place has also been disqualified from driving for five years from the date of his release.
A police investigation into the incident later found that he had been told only a matter of weeks before that his vision was no longer good enough for him to drive, even with his glasses on. When he hit Poppy-Arabella and Rachel Clarke he was not wearing glasses and told officers he had not seen the red light or the crossing itself.
At a previous hearing, the court heard Poppy-Arabella's parents were unable to have any more children and said Place had so far shown them no remorse.
Police spokesperson Detective Sergeant Paul Hughes said: "This is an absolutely tragic case and Poppy-Arabella's parents continue to suffer enormously from their loss. Our thoughts remain with them. Place should not have been driving that day as quite simply his vision was severely impaired. The consequences of his decision to get behind the wheel despite this have been catastrophic. I hope that this case sends out a message to all drivers that you have a personal responsibility to heed medical advice and to ensure you are fit to get behind the wheel."
The lawyer for Poppy-Arabella's family have now issued a call to introduce a new law to prevent the possibility of a similar thing happening again.
The family's lawyer , Richard Langton, of Slater and Gordon, have called for a change to the law, saying "A lasting legacy would be Poppy-Arabella's law, requiring any medical professional aware of a person's inability to drive safely to report them to the DVLA so that their licence is withdrawn."
This call follows the Introduction of "Cassie's Law" in 2013. This was named after Cassie McCord, who was 16 when she died in 2011 after Colin Horsfall, 87, mounted a pavement at speed in Colchester, Essex, striking Cassie, having failed a police eye test days earlier. Police had been in the process of getting Mr Horsfall banned after he refused to surrender his licence.
A successful campaign by Cassie's mother Jackie led to a change in the law, giving police more power to revoke driving licences.
Prior to the introduction of "Cassie's Law" police had to write or fax a request for licence removal, but the change means they can now telephone or email, with a dedicated email for police to use. An email confirmation from the DVLA means the licence is revoked so police can stop someone driving there and then.
Following the sentencing Poppy-Arabella's parents Phil and Rachel issued a statement saying that Mr Place's "selfish behaviour" had left them facing their own "life sentence without our little girl":
On July 6th, 2016, a beautiful summer day, little Poppy-Arabella, after a lovely morning playing with mummy, was excited to be heading to nursery to see her friends. Poppy-Arabella and I never got to nursery. Mr John Place smashed into both herself and her mummy whilst we were in the middle of a pedestrian crossing, with lights having been on red for many seconds.
He did not swerve, he did not break and he did not stop. He was only brought to a stop by a quick thinking motorist who pulled into his path. Mr Place had been told three weeks before the collision to stop driving by two optometrists after falling far below the required eye sight standards set by the DVLA, even when he was wearing glasses.
While Mr Place was today given a four year custodial jail sentence we have been left with a life sentence without our little girl whose entire life was stolen from her in a fraction of a second. We will miss her forever, we will love her for always. All drivers, you have a personal responsibility to heed medical advice, to ensure you are fit to get behind the wheel. Likewise, close family members have a duty of care to intervene before it is too late.

Proverbs 13:20 — Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble (NLT).
Solomon gives two foundational pieces of advice concerning our relationships in the verse above:
1. Walk with the wise.
2. Don't associate with fools.
Going on a walk with someone implies spending meaningful time together. Heidi and I love to go on walks, and we do so frequently. We've walked sandy beaches, mountainous hiking trails, and the road we live on. While the subject of conversation varies almost every time, the purpose remains the same. We encourage, listen to, and learn from each other. She challenges me, and I stretch her. We build one another's faith and dream together. Sometimes we even have to work through some differences. No matter what, we always rub off on each other in a positive way.
The same can be said of anyone you choose to walk with. I encourage you to evaluate your relationships right now. Who are you walking with? Proverbs 13:20 instructs us not to associate with fools. In other words, don't even have a casual relationship with someone who's going to get you in trouble.
To be sure, your life consists of both the wise and the foolish. Choose to walk with those who are going to add to your life, and don't entertain the advice of those who are going to subtract from it. Now I'm not telling you to cut off every person you deem ignorant. Perhaps he or she needs to walk with you. Pass it on!

Shopify 60 vs 30 day trial. Myth or reality?
At present you can register with Shopify and try any plan on a 14-day free trial basis. However, in Google search and related e-commerce and marketer forums there has been discussion about a possible Shopify 60-day free trial. Is this real, and can anyone access this exclusive privilege? We've done some digging to try and shed some light on these rumors for you. Let's continue with the details.
Shopify free trial 60 day. Is this real?
We've delved deep into the rumors surrounding the Shopify 60-day free trial.. Through intensive Googling we've found out that we were not alone in our search. After moving from website to website the brand name "xxx" popped up (we cannot disclose the details). We dug ever deeper into that partner link and finally found what we had been so tenaciously searching for. Unfortunately, the link does not exist anymore and if you type it directly, it'll redirect you to the homepage of Shopify website.
Maybe Shopify 45 day trial? Let's do a quick research
Shopify 45-day free trial is also an attractive amount of time to try out Shopify and fully experience the platform with Shopify theme and apps. So we searched again and found out the mysterious "xxx" partner was a trusted partner of Shopify. However, the offer was once again unavailable at that time - we could only find the page of the partner with the clear message "Start your free 45-day trial today!" call to action. It would seem the offer was too good to be true.
[UPDATED] And now there is the only Shopify 30 day trial registration link?
You can now get the benefit of the Shopify free trial above the standard period. Below is the image of the Shopify landing page with a 1-month free trial. Register now so you can take this benefit, because Shopify seemingly changes the trial period unpredictably.
UPDATE. July 26: the link doesn't exist anymore and the promotion just ended.
Another case we have found that you can go directly to the Shopify site of the Philippines domain then you'd see the 30 days free trial sign up the link. It's clear that the free trial time is quite different within different markets. This is ostensibly because some markets take more time to learn the product and see the "value" in it. The learning curve requires time and experimentation so use 30-day free trial to fully understand what Shopify can do for you.
Also, to make sure it works and doesn't break the Shopify TOS (Terms of Services), I contacted the Shopify gurus and they confirmed that the trial is available only in Philippines businesses. So if you're not in the Philippines, I'm afraid there is no such free trial period.
In any case, regardless of 30, 45 or 60 days, the Shopify platform is so easy to use and it works like a charm. Grab your credit card and register for a Shopify plan today. Fear not, as actual charges would only be applied at the end of a trial period. So your credit card won't be charged at all!
If you're wondering which Shopify plans to choose with free trial consider to spend 5 minutes with this blog review.
Why we should choose the Shopify paid plan? Not the Trial plan?
Keep in mind when you sign up for Shopify trial at the bottom of the page you'd see the notification bar asking you to choose the plan. If you are only intending to test the platform then it is not necessary to insert the credit card information. However, if you want to discover Shopify apps and install them on your store, only free Shopify apps can be installed on a trial.. Paid apps require you to have a paid Shopify subscription plans.
When you click on the "Select a plan" button you will be redirected to the plan selections page. Today is May 8, so in my case I only needed to choose the plan and set a reminder to cancel before June 8 if I don't have needs for a paid Shopify subscription. Even if I forget to cancel the subscription contacting Shopify will definitely resolve the issue. They have 24/7 support timeframe.
I tried a quick experiment with the installation of a paid Shopify app. After confirming the installation of the app I'm redirected to the "edit credit card" page. In order to use the paid app I am required to fill in my credit card information.
That's all for now, so we hope you have found this blog post useful and start your own business with a 14-day Shopify free trial. The Shopify platform is really powerful and worth trying to verify whether or not it fits your needs.

Plugins can be created to add all sorts of additional functionality to a Craft CMS site, but how can we use them to improve business workflow and processes?
One of the great things about Craft CMS is how easily it can be extended by using plugins. Building plugins for Craft is relatively quick and painless - there's even an online service that will quickly generate the plugin boiler plate for you. Part of the reason it's so easy to build plugins for Craft is because it's built on a decent MVC framework that uses component based development out of the box, as well as it having a number of useful events built in.
While we generally install a number of standard plugins to a Craft CMS build at the start of each project (post on this coming soon), we've found that by using custom plugins we can improve the functionality of the system for a number of business use cases that are not handled as standard with Craft or Commerce.
For example, one of our clients wanted us to help them use the CMS to run their and back-office processes. These processes previously involved a lot of manual work, using data exports and Excel spreadsheets. In this case, we could use plugins to improve functionality that would never be seen or used by a front-end user.
Makers Shed is a family run eCommerce business shipping hundreds of custom orders a month. Due to the volume of orders and the nature of its business, there is no avoiding some manual back-office work. However, a suitably customised Craft CMS and Craft Commerce build can help cut down on, if not fully alleviate, the majority of this manual process work.
Commerce comes with functionality to generate a single invoice - but what if you to generate ten or twenty at a time? We built a Batch plugin to do just this. By adding custom Element Actions to a plugin we can add new features to the Commerce / Orders page of the CMS.
We also added functionality to batch print branded address labels and invoices using the PHP FPDF library. This additional functionality allows us to generate as many PDF invoices and address labels as we need from the Commerce / Orders page, and send them straight to the printer.
One of the great things about the Makers Shed website is the ability for customers to customise many of the products. Each of the customised products needs to be programmed as a cutting file to a CNC machine, and it can be tedious work manually figuring out which products require customisation, and how many of each product need to be produced.
The Batch plugin is also responsible for sifting through orders and producing reports on which products needs to be customised, and how many of each item needs to be produced.
In addition to the above, Makers Shed customers often ask for custom products to be created that are not listed on the website. To implement this functionality we created two Product Types in Craft, Main and Custom. Custom products are only accessible on the front end of the site if you have the product URL, and are not indexed by search engines. They are essentially invisible unless you know where to look for them!
We also developed a Customise Basket plugin for Craft. When coupled with Custom Product Types, this functionality allows an admin user to create a custom product, add it to a shopping cart for the user, and then send them an email to notify them that their basket and custom order is ready. When the customer clicks the link in the email, their shopping cart is pre-populated with their products, and they can continue the customer experience as desired by adding further products, changing quantities, and proceeding through checkout.
As an order will take a certain amount of time to produce (depending on how busy the business is), giving the customer an accurate dispatch can help manage their expectations appropriately, as well as eliminate the need for additional support calls and emails.
For this reason, we built a Dispatch Date Estimator plugin for the Makers Shed website. The plugin takes in to account UK holidays (using the excellent Yasumi PHP library), as well as dates the business will be closed (managed as Entries in the CMS). With this additional functionaliy, we can now give the customer an estimated date of dispatch. This date is then sent out on every piece of communication to the customer relating to their order.
As we've shown, custom plugin development for Craft and Craft Commerce can be used to in a number of different ways to alleviate some of the more repetitive tasks of running a business. Due to its flexibility, custom plugins for Craft can add an wide array of features for both front-end and back-end users of your website. If you'd like something similar for your project, get in touch and we'd be happy to help.
