text: Globalization has dramatically changed the way our graduates interact in the world of work. As the marketplace shrinks and cultures clash, we need, more than ever, leaders who can overcome differences and inspire others to rise above prejudice and parochialism. The McDonough Center strives to expand opportunities for students to become global leaders. International leadership education is no longer the realm of exotic and glamorous globe-trotting adventurers. It is the reality of a new century marked by interdependence, rapid technological changes, and the need to bridge cultural divides.

"I had almost completely torn rotator cuff repair. Premier Rehab is a great place for rehab. The therapists are very well trained, they work well with exactly what you need. The range of motion in my shoulder is back to normal, I have gained a lot of strength back. I was having trouble pulling my hair up in a ponytail, trouble lifting anything above my waist to put on a counter or ledge. I do not have any trouble now. I sleep better at night now and I don't wake up as stiff. Awesome place for rehab!"

"I can now turn my head without pain, sleep through the night and enjoy driving and reading books again. Thank you Premier Rehab Physical Therapy team!"

"When I started therapy, I was not able to use my left arm due to a broken shoulder (humorous). I was able to keep full range of motion through active assisted therapy. Once I was healed and could start adding strengthening I could see the progress and 4 months after breaking my shoulder I'm back to normal activities 100%. Premier Rehab was willing to work with my limited schedule and provided exercises for me to keep my recovery going when I could not come in to the center. Dave Benson "

"My experience was amazing, helpful, and not rushed. I was not able to lift my left arm. I was not able to comb my hair. I was not able to clean my body and my home. I was not able to reach for the ATM. I was not able to close my car door. I was not able to do a lot. Coming helped me to gain everything back. The people here made me feel at home and you can see they did not mind taking care of me. I would refer someone here in a minute. I want to say thank you all so much. "

"I have used several rehab centers over the past 5 years and Premier Rehab is by far the best. Before I came I was always using a cane, unable to climb stairs or just function normally. Now I am able to climb stairs, walk without a cane, and do normal day to day activities with very little pain. The staff at the Western Center are great to work with and everyone works hard to help you reach your goals. I will use them again if needed in the future. Great job!"

"My experience here at Premier has been outstanding! My knee replacement therapy, advised by Dr Dave- was so focused but family friendly. They kept me busy every minute with my exercises with constant encouragement and support with my pain levels. Melissa was always attentive with my paperwork and to be by my side when the therapists were with other patients. Mikyla Vastine helped me conquer some of the hardest exercises. Her big smile and constant encouragement was the best! Miss Erika was instrumental in keeping me focused on doing my exercises the proper way. Her hands were like no other. My angel! Love all these guys. They are like my family! I can walk now!"

This 'Chat Course' took place over September and October 2018 for seven Wednesdays of learning, laughs and good times. The group ended it off by going to their favourite local coffee shop to advocate for AAC in the community and to just hang out with their friends.

The paper I co-authored at NDSU just got published by Multimedia Tools and Applications! This was a really satisfying project to work on because it combined my professional video knowledge with programming and my Computer Science degree.
I worked with Dr. Jun Kong and Amin Roudaki to create this system to automatically direct video of a conference room meeting situation. The system uses 2 cameras: a static wide shot and a moveable PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) camera to automatically move the camera to film the current speaker, switch to the wide shot while that camera is moving, cut to the wide shot if many voices are speaking, etc. A Kinect is used for the wide shot because it also is used to detect who is speaking.
My role was to advise the project as a professional videographer who has experience directing multi-camera events, developing heuristic rules for the system which help it behave like a human director (telling it how long to stay on a particular shot, for example), building the motorized linear camera slide, and programming the Arduino, which received serial input from Amin's software.

Why People Think Professionals Are A Good Idea
Professionals – Getting Started & Next Steps

For many women, carrying a child is considered one of the most magical things there is about being a woman. The process of nurturing a life inside of your body and growing the bond between mother and child is one of the most intimate bonds there is. It surely does not hurt that being pregnant provides plenty of health benefits. Research has shown that carrying a child increases hormone levels and directs blood flow to the pelvic area, making for better sex and more frequent orgasms.
Proportion of Older Mothers has Risen Sharply
With that said, more and more women are choosing to build families and carry children later in their lives. At present, the role of women in society has shifted. Finding a man and settling down early is no longer a measure of success. Women pursue careers, and this has resulted in an increase in conception in women over 35-years-old.
From 1970 to 2012, the percentage of women aged 35 – 39 years old having children has dramatically increased fourfold. On the other hand, the statistics surrounding women over 40 carrying to term has increased threefold.
Unfortunately, age is a factor that determines not only an easy childbirth, but an easy conception. This can vary from case to case however, as there are some older women who take better care of their bodies than younger ones. However, in general, as women grow older, it becomes difficult for their bodies to carry a child. By her 30s, a woman is 20 percent more likely to deliver a stillbirth than someone in her 20s. Older women also are more prone premature birth and conditions like preeclampsia.
Initially, doctors attribute most of the struggle to the decreasing quality of older egg cells. While this concept rings true, another factor has recently been discovered when it comes to womb health and adaptability.
Older Wombs Affect Gestation
Recently a team from the Center of Trophoblast Research in Cambridge, UK conducted a study exploring womb health in relation to carrying a child. The researchers examined pregnancies in middle-aged rats to determine whether an older womb was a factor when it came to conception.
The study revealed that older wombs in mice are less capable of supporting the growth of the placenta. This would result in a sparse flow of blood to the growing fetus. Older wombs are more likely to foster birth defects. This study is the first to explore factors outside of aging egg cells. It is particularly important considering the increase of instances of women carrying children later in life.
Preparing an Older Womb and Aging Egg Cell
It is true that carrying to term becomes more difficult as a woman gets older. However, this doesn't mean that developments in medical technology and improvements in overall lifestyle have not caught up with the trend. There are ways a woman above 30 can prepare herself, her body, and her womb for nurturing life.
Understand the Risks and Difficulties
Trying to conceive when later in life can be difficult. Aging egg cells and an older womb are factors that should be considered.
Moreover, as a woman ages, birth defects and child-bearing complications become more common. The truth is, no matter how careful and diligent you are the chances of problems during an advanced age pregnancy increases.
Consult with Your Doctor
After understanding the risk and additional threats when it comes to conception in one's late 30s or beyond, it is time to consult with a doctor. During this consultation, be sure to ask any and every question regarding your aging body and conception concerns, this includes aging uterus concerns. It is also smart to have your body assessed and receive a general checkup with preventative lab work.
Despite the seeming insistence that older pregnancies are not in any way riskier than those that take place at optimal ages, the truth is that a variety of factors come into play when it comes to advanced age pregnancies. It is essential to remember that women over 40 have lost more than half of the eggs they had at birth, and a woman hoping to get pregnant at age 35 is still twice as likely as her younger peers to experience a stillbirth.
Having a baby at a later age is difficult. Thankfully, research is catching-up. There is more knowledge surrounding the magic of fertility, conception and pregnancy now more than ever before.

Rush My Session!
**IF you need your images back sooner or just cant wait to see them I do offer a Rush Service with a much faster turn around than my standard 3 weeks for sessions and 10 weeks for weddings.
*If your session has already taken place and you would like a rush on your images the turn around time begins from the time of purchasing the rush.
*If you have a session coming up and want to pay to rush your images ahead of your session time the rush time begins at the time of your session.
Why is the rush fee so expensive?
I set aside a certain amount of edit time each day. Any time a session is rushed that time comes from my family time and the value to that reflects in my rush fee.

text: Home Honeymoon 25 Married Parties On The Unexpected Snags You Need To Watch Out... Honeymoon 25 Married Parties On The Unexpected Snags You Need To Watch Out For On Your Wedding Day By - October 21, 2017 3912 0 Share on Facebook Tweet on Twitter Found on AskReddit . 1. Expect your mother-in-law to behave badly . Expect your mother-in-law to behave badly. 2. Watch out for wino relatives . You will have drunkard relatives at your marry. It will be awkward, and it will most likely induce a scene. If you don't serve booze, you will probably still have a drunkard relative at your wedding. 3. Dont invite your asshole brother . Your brother being late to the reception, making your bride, who you have not yet been allowed to see, having to sit for 30 minutes in a cupboard as she was only supposed to be in for 2 minutes before the opening ceremony inaugurated. Same brother virtually throwing himself off a large mound trying to get a good photo of the cities below, but regrettably just badly disabling his leg. Having to ask the restaurant property owners to eject same friend from their own families meal the next day due to starting a fight with your mother. 4. Watch out for narcissistic relatives . You will always have one person who wants it all to be about them and not be the bride. My wife's sisters both manufactured sure everyone knew what their( the sisters) children were doing at every point during the whole happen "like its" the children's epoch and not my wife and my epoch. Never checked them as egotistical before, but that day was eye-opening. 5. Watch out for relatives bellowing like their lives are over . Crying. I thought it was the happiest epoch of my life and I had to deal with consoling my mother, my sister and my best friend, all bawling like their lives were over. Broken some of the pictures, too. 6. Watch out for relatives trying to embezzle the silverware . People might try to steal from you. You'd like to think the people you invite are all trustworthy, but take care. At our marry, one of my cousins was caught trying to plagiarize silverware from the venue, my sister-in-law raided the kitchen for the remaining booze( we wouldn't have been statute for anything continuing ), someone stole at the least two placards with cash in them, and we had several people claim they left gifts we never got. I'm sure some of them could be bullshit, but when my grandmother says she left a nice endow and outcries when she found out we didn't get it, I tend to believe her. Have someone you trust keep an eye on anything of value. Beyond only being robbed, it sucks cutting off family and friends because you're sure they stole from you, and having others you no longer trust because you simply don't know. 7. Watch out for that large-scale white dress youre wearing . Every minor inconvenience becomes a big disaster when you are in a big white dress. From devouring soup to avoiding difficulties. And worse. 8. Something WILL go wrong . Something WILL go wrong. It is unavoidable. The gondola that was supposed to drive us away from the venue after the receipt didn't show up. You gotta simply wheel with it and realize that the only thing that matters at the end of the day is that you are married to your friends and adoration of your life. 9. Make sure that the priest you pick isnt seeds . Your priest may be bitter over her 3rd divorce and spend the entire ceremony create pranks about how horrible marriage is, to continue efforts to proselytize your Muslim friend into Christianity, and lecture you on how as a woman, you now work for your husband and must obey him in every way. My mother-in-law picked the pastor. I had no theory she was nuts. 10. Tell your family members to stop realise everything there is about them . People in your family will forget this day isn't about them. 11. When the entertainers and priest, count out the money to them so they dont to continue efforts to rend you off . OK. When paying entertainers/ dancers/ priest/ whatever, make sure to count out the money to them. At my marriage my fiancee had prepared sealed envelopes with the exact amount in them, and my brother( the best man) was charged with handing them out. One payee took the envelope and said thanks, simply to return 5 minutes later saying it was empty. As my brother had no way of disproving it, he had to shell out another 200 quid. He never told us til much eventually as he didn't want to spoil our epoch. We are 100% certain there was cash in it as "were having" verified and double-checked. It is just like basic common sense but don't hand out unverifiable sums of cash to people. 12. Watch out for clients fetching extra uninvited clients . Guests not adhering to the RSVP. Like raising additional parties instead of the agreed-upon numeral. Which in turn brings about deficit of seats and of food. Some bridals Ive attended had the couple entreaty the clients to not deliver kids. Also, don't be nervous! I was so nervous during our wed that I didn't even realize that I did not eat through the whole platform. It was exclusively in the morning that I questioned my partner how the meat savoured. Then she told me she also did not touch the meat provided on our table. We took weeks deciding what nutrient to tell for the moment then on the working day itself we didn't even eat a single burn! 13. Delegate some of the planning to other beings . You will not remember any logistical items after the fact. Did you tip-off the caterers? No idea. Did you give the marriage license to the officiant? Uhhhh. Basically, have other people in charge of ensuring each of those things goes enveloped because even if you make it happen, you won't remember and will scramble around for daylights after trying to get everything straight. I have dangerous allergies. The only period I'm more than 3′ from my EpiPen is when I'm in my suite. No plan where it was that day. I vaguely know I'd planned to have it on hand on the day of, but I didn't have any plan where it was. 14. Take a moment to look at everything, because it will fly by and you will scarcely recalls that it . You will be super busy, take a moment and merely you and your SO depart participating in the corner of the reception hall and only look at everything. Take it all in, because it will fly by and you will scarcely remember it. 15. Dont seem pressured to have sex on your wedding night . The biggest occasion I can think of is don't feel pressured into having sex that night. After the bridal you will be exhausted and most probably will have to waste 3+ hours drawing your partner out of her dress and all the shit she will have in her fuzz. I pulled bolts out of my wife's whisker for a crazy quantity of occasion after the bridal. For the enjoy of god if youre taking a flight the next day for a honeymoon don't have it be early in the morning. Get some really good sleep that night and then croak full crazy on your honeymoon. 16. Its going to be a wild epoch; dont stress, just soak it all in and loved it . Know that 10 years from now, the unexpected things will be the ones you will most recollect, that youll look back on fondly or laugh about. Passing up to the marry all the focus goes into the small details. But year later? I dont recollect what our centerpieces looked like, or what font we chose for the programmes, or what song played where reference is came into the receipt. But I do recollect when one acquaintance threw a ointment tart in the other ones appearance. Or when our DJ tried to play the whole album straight through. And innumerable other strange/ entertaining concepts. Its going to be a wild era; dont stress, just soak it all in and enjoy it. 17. Watch out that you dont trip on your own wedding dress . I didn't expect to wipe out within seconds of strolling into my own reception, but I did. I shaped my mode to the chairs in the center of the dance floor so that we could dance the hora, went to sit down like normal, but did not consider the ball garment I was wearing. The dress pushed the chair right out from under me, and I touched the storey, legs depositing up in the air through brandishes of crinoline. Time stopped, and the collective gasp from the crowd sucked the air out of the chamber. I had less than a second to decide how I would handle this disaster, and after shaking my manager, get up smiling and applauding my hands, and called everyone out to the dance floor. They promoted me up in the chair, and all I could really think about at that point was supporting on. I've been clumsy all my life, but this was absolutely the most embarrassing instant I have ever experienced. The day was still splendid, but I might have molted a silent rip in the shower that night. At least I didn't fall down a organize of stairs…right? 18. Watch out for people trying to embezzle your thunder and realize the working day all about them . Someone might try to embezzle your peal at the bridal, for example person testifying their pregnancy or commitment, to establish the working day be a bit more about them than you. Then a lot of the focus on YOUR day will push over to other parties. There's not a lot you can do in this situation aside from try not to invite the apprehensive center-of-attention types. 19. Expect the unexpectedsuch as traffic jam between the bridal and receipt . Couple of things that amazed me on my wedding day. First, my wife and I didn't get to eat any cake beyond which is something we shoved in each other's mouths for photographs and we didn't eat any of the dinner because we were constantly needed for photos, questions from the DJ and venue, combining with clients, and matching extended family of the other. Second, commerce from the uniting to the receipt was abysmal. What was normally a 10 -1 5 hour drive was a 45 -minute drive due to road construction that started that day. We did not see that coming. 20. Expect that some part of the day will not go as scheduled AT ALL . That some part of the day will not go as strategy AT ALL. That place will probably completely implode. Just laugh at it, seriously. It does not matter that much so long as you still are in love and still get married. My bridesmaid's shoes didn't accord( 2 were red, 1 was golden, 1 was lily-white) because the store clamped them up. Whatever, doesn't matter now and didn't matter then. Also, person will fight at your bridal or have snarky mentions about you, your purposed, the marriage defendant, or the wedding itself. Simply reject them; its their edition , not yours. 21. Take a half-hour or so between the marry and reception to precisely get away from everyone with your husband and chill . When we got married, we set aside~ 30 times after the ceremony/ depicts and before the receipt for my freshly minted partner and I to go back to our area and simply chill. Best fucking decision It gave us some time to exactly talk and take up what had just happened. Husband downed some leftover pizza since he had been to nervous to gobble earlier, I got to take my dress off to urinate and do up the commotion without anyone having to clamber under my dress, and of course had a bit of a quickie. But having that time to decompress and relax acquired the day so much less of a whirlwind and certainly helped us to completely experience the reception. 22. If youre wearing a cloak, TAKE IT OFF after the opening ceremony . I know this may be really stupid, but if you're wearing a cloaks TAKE IT OFF after the opening ceremony. When guests congratulate you and hug you they will accidentally tug it, some will tug it really hard. You will end up at the least with chaotic whisker or, in my occurrence, a headache( nothing adrenaline couldn't chose 1 hour later during the course of its 1st dance ). 23. Whatever goes wrongand batch of things willremember that the reason you got married is because youre in love . You might have to change in a public restroom stop. The Cd your soon-to-be-wife and her mom and aunt spent hours meticulously picking out hymns for each part of the bridal might not play in the venue's shitty system and you might finish up DJing your own marriage from your iPhone. Frankly, much more could have gone wrong and I wouldn't care. I was( and still am) infatuated with her and nothing of that bullshit mattered. 24. Once the day is done, all you can do is nestle and be happy its over with . It's not as enchanted as it seems. It may be the happiest daylight of their own lives, but that's just the day/ appointment , not the actual affair. The whole wedding is supposed to be for you, but you're too the one managing everything. Like hurling your own birthday party. You propose it, hence you can't be all that joyful about it. It's just a big show for your family and friends, and once you're in the inn chamber alone with your marriage, all you can do is fondle and be happy that it's over with. 25. Numerous people will behave the opposite of what you expected . The beings you expect to get along won't, and the people you may have expected to be the hardest will be splendid and on their best behavior.

Blessings of obedience
In today's world, most of all look for success. We want that. We want to succeed, we want to be blesses, right? The main thing we need to realize about success and being blessed, if that this world has nothing to offer apart from the power of God. Nothing.
I want God to look at my life, and bless me!
Deuteronomy 28: 1-2 tells us,
If. You. Obey.
This tells us that blessings will happen to you, if you obey!
The Lord will COMMAND the blessing to you! We must only obey. God is the only one who sets the rules for blessings. Not us! IF you want to live a blessed life, even when obedience is hard, it is the rule for us to be blessed. Jesus points out to us in John 13:17 that blessings come from obeying the truth, not just knowing it. "Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them"
Know the truth, obey it, and be blessed!
It is important to realize that when we obey God, we will never be disappointed. Obedience always leads to blessings, always. The Lord desires to bless us!
Set a goal to obey the Lord and watch Him unlock blessings in our lives!

Are You Up To The WordCrafter Challenge?Posted: March 9, 2020 Filed under: Fiction, Paranormal, Speculative Fiction, Stories, weird western, Western, WordCrafter, Writing, Writing Contest | Tags: Paranormal western, Short Fiction, Short Fiction Contest, Short Stories, weird western, Western Paranormal, WordCrafter, WordCrafter Paranormal Western, Writing Contest, Writing to be Read 4 Comments
I wanted the 2020 WordCrafter Short Fiction Contest to be a challenge, to motivate authors and writers to reach outside their comfort zones and write a short story in a genre they maybe hadn't tried yet. But, from the low number of entries received thus far, I'm wondering if I didn't scare a lot of writers off when I named the genre as paranormal western.
It's one of those combination genres that have risen up in recent times, also called weird westerns, that has both elements of western and elements of paranormal. I presented it as western ghost stories, because the old west has plenty of potential for ghosts. (Mark and Kym Todd's Wild West Ghosts is filled with the stories of many real life characters whose ghosts are said to haunt the west today, if you're looking for inspiration.) However, I fear our friends abroad may be shying away because they just don't know a whole lot about the American western frontiers.
While westerns usually take place in the American west, they don't have to. The movie Quiggly Down Under, with Tom Sellak comes to mind, taking place in the Australian Outback, but with plenty of western elements. Every country has its own frontier history that helped to shape it, some may be still developing their frontiers. So, let me re-itterate, a western does not need to be set on the American frontier, but it does need to have some of the elements of the western genre. Man (or woman) against the elements, man (or woman) fighting for justice in an untamed landscape where the only law may be what he (or she) can manage to dole out. Western characters lead nomadic lifestyles, carry guns, ride horses, drink whiskey and face their own mortality, sometimes on a daily basis.
Weird westerns tend to use these elements, but they add elements of the paranormal or speculative fiction. I've reviewed a few and found their authors to be quite creative in combining the two genres. Chris Barili's Hell's Butcher series features a gun toting Marshall who is tasked with keeping all the outlaws in hell and tracking down any who happen to escape into the realm of the living. In DeAnna Knippling's Chance Damnation is a paranormal western fantasy, where hell breaks through and wreaks havoc on the western frontier. And a book that I'm reviewing this month is Death Wind, by Travis Heerman and Jim Pinto, tells a tale of ancient Indian legends come to life. (You can catch my review of this book on Friday, March 20th).
So, with this in mind, I'm asking each of you to re-consider entering your own paranormal western short in the 2020 WordCrafter Short Fiction Contest. It's only $5 to enter, and the winner will be featured in the resulting anthology and receive a $25 Amazon gift card. Other entries may also be included in the anthology by invitation, so get those entries in to me by April 30. There's still time, and you can find the complete submission guidelines here: https://wp.me/pVw40-49e

"Writing for a Y.A. Audience": Are they real?Posted: November 20, 2019 Filed under: Books, Fantasy, Fiction, Speculative Fiction, Writing, Young Adult | Tags: Fantasy, Goat Children, Inspiration, Jordan Elizabeth, Writing for a YA Audience, Writing to be Read, Young Adult Fiction 4 Comments
I was at a book signing in October. A woman came up to my booth and asked for a quick synopsis of each story. I was happy to oblige, and when I got to GOAT CHILDREN, the woman teared up.
I wrote GOAT CHILDREN based on my experiences taking care of my grandmother when she suffered from dementia. This woman's mother was diagnosed with dementia. She went on to share a few examples, and I could identify with all of them.
The woman bought the book for her daughter, who feels alone while helping her grandmother. The other kids in high school don't understand.
I went through the same thing when I was in college and high school. My grandmother was "weird". I was a "freak" for trying to take care of her. She was "scary". Okay, the unpredictable moods were scary, but she was still my grandmother. Fear goes hand-in-hand with dementia.
After the woman bought the book and moved onto the next book at the fair, my mind kept returning to GOAT CHILDREN. It was one of my first books published and one very dear to my heart. Now come the spoilers…
The Goat Children are a mythical warrior class who the fictional grandmother, Oma, believe to be true. The main character, Keziah, can't figure out if they are real or not. The story provides glimpses into the truth behind the female warriors.
My grandmother believed in little people living in her fireplace and dancing in her basement. When we asked her if she was scared of them, she said no, they comforted her. The Goat Children comfort Oma too.
At the end of the story, the grandmother and Keziah both leave Earth to live with the Goat Children. They are together and strong, and immersed in a world of magic both of them longed for. I decided to make the Goat Children real because I always wanted the little people to be real too, taking care of my grandmother, keeping her safe.
Jordan Elizabeth currently lives in the house her grandmother lived in. She's still looking for the little people in the fireplace. You can connect with Jordan via her website, JordanElizabethBooks.com.

"Chance Damnation": A strange paranormal western fantasyPosted: May 3, 2019 Filed under: Book Review, Books, Dark Fantasy, Fiction, Paranormal, Speculative Fiction, Western | Tags: Book Review, Chance Damnation, DeAnna Knippling, Paranormal, Paranormal western, Western, western fantasy, Writing to be Read 2 Comments
Chance Damnation, by DeAnna Knippling is a western turned inside out. It draws you in with a strange opening scene, jumping right into the thick of the action, where multi-horned demons attack a small ranching community in Buffalo County, South Dakota, and then carries you away into the depths of the story as things get even stranger.
There is definitely something out of the ordinary going on, and young Celeste Marie seems to be at the center of it. Jerome is determined not to let the demons have her, but the adults won't listen to him because he's just a kid. When Celeste Marie is kidnapped by the demons and Jerome goes after her into the demon realm below, community members who died in the demon rampage return as demons and Jeromes older brothers and other family members fight against the demons, but it seems as if they might be fighting a losing battle. This paranormal western fantasy is filled with surprises.
Stranger and stranger. But, it is strange in a good way. It captured my interest and kept the pages turning. It is strange in a good way. The story is well written and well paced, as is with most of the books I've read by DeAnna Knippling. It is a weird western, but a good story. I give Chance Damnation four quills.

Writing for a YA Audience: Writing about a DollhousePosted: March 20, 2019 Filed under: Fiction, Mystery, Speculative Fiction, Steampunk, Writing, Writing for a YA Audience, Young Adult | Tags: Clockwork Dollhouse, Jordan Elizabeth, mystery, Steampunk, Writing for a YA Audience 3 Comments
Dollhouses have always intrigued me. That and steampunk, but we'll get to that later.
As a child, I had three dollhouses. One was wooden, made by my maternal grandfather. One was metal. I used it for my Little People. The third was plastic and I used it for my Victorian Playmobile set (I still feel bad that I never got the official dollhouse that went with the sets!). I loved setting up the rooms and just looking at them. My dolls didn't always move around in them. It was more for show. I used my imagination to act out scenes.
There's another dollhouse that sticks out in my mind, only I didn't own it. As a child, my mother and I went through an estate sale in the neighborhood. In the basement, there was a dollhouse built to replicate the actual house. I fell in love with it. Unfortunately, it was expensive. It was old and showed the effects of being in a basement. Plus, it didn't fit through the door! I can still picture that dollhouse to this day. I became obsessed with having an intricate dollhouse just like that one.
My grandmother bought me a wooden dollhouse kit. It came with working windows, shingles, and a drainpipe. It also came with a bit of trouble – none of us were carpentry inclined. The dollhouse sat in its box in my basement for years. Eventually, my then-boyfriend (now husband) attempted to put it together, but didn't get farther than popping out the pieces. A few years ago, a friend's husband put it together. It looks just as amazing as I'd always hoped it would.
My mother and I bought wallpaper, wainscoting, furniture, dolls… We're in love with it, but we haven't done too much decoration-wise. Some of the furniture came in sets and we already know we're horrible at putting sets together. This dollhouse, sitting on the hall table, with its beautiful dolls keeps pulling at my imagination. I wanted to create a story about a dollhouse, one with secrets. Since I love the steampunk genre, I wanted to add in a taste of that. Thus, along came CLOCKWORK DOLLHOUSE, a short story about dolls and secrets.
Have you ever seen a dollhouse that beckoned you into its walls?

Chatting with the Pros: Interview with science fiction and fantasy author Kevin J. AndersonPosted: March 18, 2019 Filed under: Books, Chatting with the Pros, Collaboration, Dark Fantasy, Fantasy, Fiction, Interview, Science Fiction, Speculative Fiction, Teaching Writing, World Building, Writing, Writing to be Read | Tags: Chatting with the Pros, Fantasy, Kevin J. Anderson, Writing to be Read 1 Comment
My guest today on "Chatting with the Pros" is an award winning and best selling author who has written countless novels and over 56 national and international best sellers. A majority of his works fall into the science fiction or fantasy genres, but he writes across many genres. In a recent introduction for "The Big Idea: Kevin J. Anderson", an article about the latest release in his short fiction collection, Selected Stories, John Scalzi calls him, "one of the most prolific authors working today", and one look at his immense book list on Amazon would leave no doubt that this is an accurate assessment. (You can find my review of selected stories here). He's written a lot of books, 56 of which have hit the national and international best seller lists, and he's been writing for many years, and I'm sure we will find his knowledge and experiences enlightening. Please help me welcome Kevin J. Anderson.
Kaye: You have written at least 56 national or international best sellers. What makes a good story in your mind?
Kevin: People want to read a good story with an exciting/interesting plot, a well-developed setting, and engaging characters. Make it a story you WANT to read, with clear prose and action. I don't like muddled, glacial-paced stories where the prose is just too precious.
Kaye: Why science fiction and fantasy? Why not western or romance or mystery? What's the attraction?
Kevin: Well, I've also written plenty of mysteries, and some of my work has been set in the old west, and most good stories have a strong romance component (though I don't write category Romance or Westerns). I like to tell an interesting story, and I move around a lot among genres, even though I am primarily known for science fiction or fantasy. I grew up in a very mundane small town in rural Wisconsin, and I was captivated by SF/F from an early age, because it showed my imagination what was possible. I wanted to go to exotic places, whether they were filled with aliens or dragons. Science fiction took me to a much wider universe. (And as a skinny, nerdy kid with glasses and a bad haircut, "romance" wasn't much of a possibility, so I stuck with spaceships and swords.)
Kaye: You wrote several Star Wars and X-Files novels. Is it difficult to immerse yourself in someone else's settings and characters enough to pick up a thread and run with it in the same tone and writing style? How do you go about getting yourself into that mindset?
Kevin: It's no more difficult than trying to immerse yourself in the old west or ancient Japan for a historical. A writer's job is to absorb the story, characters, voice, and setting. I was already a big fan of Star Wars, Star Trek, X-Files, and Dune, and I enjoyed going to work in those universes. In each instance, I would completely surround myself with the property — whether that meant watching the Star Wars films over and over again, or the episodes of the X-Files, or repeatedly rereading DUNE and its sequels. You pick up the manner of speaking, the "look and feel" of the world, and you make it into your own story.
Kaye: You've done several collaborations, including books of the Dune series, with Brian Herbert and the Clockwork books which you collaborated with Neil Peart, drummer for the band Rush. What is the biggest challenge when collaborating on a book?
Kevin: You both need to have the same vision for the book—which means a LOT of talking and brainstorming ahead of time—and you both need the same work ethic (so each partner puts in the same amount of time and effort…a tortoise and hare collaboration will just cause a lot of friction), and you need to be flexible. There's never only ONE way to write a sentence or describe a scene. I would never want to collaborate with a diva!
Kaye: Do you belong to any writing organizations? If so, which ones? Do you feel your membership in these writing organizations have been helpful in your writing successes? How so?
Kevin: I belong to the Horror Writers Association (and edited three anthologies for them, the BLOOD LITE series), IAMTW (International Association of Media Tie-In Writers), and SFWA, the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, although some of their recent decisions have made me so upset that I would not renew my membership if I wasn't already a lifetime member. The problem with such organizations is that you can become to engrossed in the politics and bickering that you forget your real purpose, which is to WRITE.
Kaye: You've written several series, including Saga of the Seven Suns, Dan Shamble P.I. and the Clockwork books? Are any of your books stand alone? Why do you lean toward series?
Kevin: I've written many standalone books. The one I just finished last week, a vampire/serial-killer thriller STAKE, that's not part of a series. But I like to tell big stories, and once you've done all the effort of world building and character building an entire universe, you want to spend some time. To me, a trilogy is perfect — a beginning, middle, and end, with enough room to tell the story and describe the world in all its glory. Pragmatically speaking, it's a much better decision commercially to build a series, because readers will want more and more, and each new book will help sell copies of previous volumes. Can you imagine if A.C. Doyle had stopped after writing only one Sherlock Holmes story?
Kaye: Science fiction authors create whole worlds from their imaginations, often with new languages created in their own minds, and you have created many. How do you go about creating a new language?
Kaye: Your work has won many prestigious awards. Which award are you most proud of? Why?
Kevin: Awards are awards, and it's nice to have them, but I really prefer READERS. That's what makes your writing worthwhile. It's not terribly prestigious, but the award I value most is one I received very early in my career, when I received a trophy with an engraved brass plate and everything, naming me "The Writer with No Future" because I could produce more rejection slips than any other writer at an entire conference. To me, that didn't mean I was a failure as a writer or that my work was awful—it proved that I was more persistent, that I kept trying, kept getting better, and never gave up. I still have that trophy.
Kaye: In addition to being an author, you and your wife, Rebecca Moesta, are publishers at Wordfire Press, but originally you were traditionally published. Why the switch to being your own publisher after being traditionally published for so many years?
Kevin: Survival. No choice. The publishing industry has undergone a tremendous upheaval equivalent to the Industrial Revolution, and I could either be a mammal and evolve or stay a dinosaur and go extinct. I am still traditionally published (four books released in 2018, in fact, and a new 3-book contract from Tor Books for an epic fantasy series), but I also have a lot of backlist titles that were out of print and my fans wanted to read them. So I started releasing them myself with all the innovations of new technology. It's just another alternative.
Kaye: What does Wordfire press offer as a publisher for other authors?
Kevin: We are nimble and flexible, and we can produce books and get them to market far quicker than a traditional publisher can manage. But when you work with an indie publisher, or if you do it yourself, then you have to do all the work, all aspects of it. It's another income stream and another way to get your book in front of your audience.
Kaye: Is Wordfire taking submissions? What type of fiction is Wordfire looking for?
Kevin: Not really, I'm afraid. When we are open, we're looking for established writers who don't need their hands held, writers who already have their own platforms, fanbases, and marketing efforts because we have to rely on them to do the work that a whole department at a traditional publisher would do.
Kaye: You recently signed on as an adjunct professor at Western State Colorado University and you are a finalist candidate for the director of their Certificate in Publishing program. What prompted you to venture into the world of academia?
Kevin: Actually, I'm now a full professor and I run their Masters program in Publishing. I will start the first group of MA students this coming summer. There's a LOT of paperwork and bureaucracy in academia! I have taught writing and publishing quite often at countless writers' conferences and conventions, most notably our own Superstars Writing Seminars, which is just hitting its tenth year. Becoming a professor and teaching at a beautiful university in the Colorado mountains is great, offers a little more stability than freelance writing, and (the bane of all freelancers) it gives me health insurance and benefits I wouldn't otherwise get.
Kaye: Any writing pet peeves?
Kevin: I don't like artsy-fartsy stuff, dense prose and opaque plots. Tell me a great story with a cool setting and interesting characters!
Kaye: Creating characters, developing plot, world building – what is the most challenging part of writing for you?
Kevin: Those are all fun, but if I had to choose I would say I have most difficulty with building rich, fleshed-out characters. Plotting and worldbuilding—that's what I excel in.
Thanks to Kevin for sharing with us today. He's given us food for thought with some really great answers. You can find more about Wordfire Press here: https://wordfirepress.com/.

A Programmable Quantum Computer Based on Trapped Ions
Date: Thursday, February 15, 2018
Speaker: Norbert Linke, Joint Quantum Institute, University of Maryland Department of Physics and National Institute of Standards and Technology
Trapped ions are a promising candidate system to realize a scalable quantum computer. We present a modular quantum computing architecture comprised of a chain of 171Yb+ ions with individual Raman beam addressing and individual readout [1]. We use the transverse modes of motion in the chain to produce entangling gates between any qubit pair. This creates a fully connected system which can be configured to run any sequence of single- and two-qubit gates, making it in effect an arbitrarily programmable quantum computer that does not suffer any swap-gate overhead [2].
Recent results from different quantum algorithms on five ions will be presented [3,4], including a quantum error detection protocol that fault-tolerantly encodes a logical qubit [5]. I will also discuss current work with seven ions and ideas to scale up this architecture.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has made proposals to ensure the net remains an open and neutral platform.
The 'network neutrality' proposals would require firms to ensure all web traffic is treated equally. Associated Press claimed that the new rules would prohibit internet service providers from interfering with the free flow of information and certain applications over their networks.
FCC chairman Julius Genachowski claimed that doing nothing was not an option. BBC News reported that in his first major speech since his appointment earlier in the summer, he told an audience in Washington that the rules were 'not about government regulation of the internet'.
He said: "History's lesson is clear. Ensuring a robust and open internet is the best thing we can do to promote investment and innovation. And while there are some who see every policy decision as either pro-business or pro-consumer, I reject that approach; it's not the right way to see technology's role in America."
In an FCC statement, commissioner Michael J. Copps said: "The internet was born and thrived on openness. Keeping it open as some players amass the power for gatekeeper control is essential. Chairman Genachowski's bold announcement today is a significant further investment in safeguarding internet freedom.
"Broadband users should be able to use any device or application they want, to reach any legal content they wish, using any broadband technology, so long as they don't cause harm to the network. Some rules of the road and a venue for enforcing them are required to make this vision reality."
He further claimed that a well-considered internet freedom approach will take into account what constitutes reasonable network management practices; how evolutionary and revolutionary changes can alter the landscape and even change the guidelines on what is or is not acceptable.
Ian Moyse, EMEA channel manager at Webroot, claimed that he very much supports net neutrality, and internet regulation or openness will not be decided by any individual organisation, region or regulatory body, but mixed policies, legalities and interpretations.
Moyse said: "Yet, whatever the result of these choices or imposed selections, businesses will still want to own their own destiny. They will want to manage their own bandwidth, know and control what comes down their pipe and when and who can access it.
"Regardless of the decisions at governmental levels, businesses will need and want to control their own traffic and with more and more mobile users becoming the norm, managing this will continue to become an 'in the cloud' issue.
"Customers will seek and need internet level controls that allow them to stem the flow of large bandwidth eating usage such as streaming video, audio and large downloads both to their networks and also across their mobile user base."

0610 GMT April 02, 2020
Hurricane Florence made landfall near Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina at 7:15 am (1115 GMT) on Friday, the National Hurricane Center said.
Heavy rain, gusting winds and rising floodwaters from Hurricane Florence deluged the Carolinas on Thursday as the massive, slow-moving storm crept toward the coast, threatening millions of people in its path with record rainfall and punishing surf.
Thousands of people participating in an annual civil rights event in the US state of North Carolina have taken the opportunity to protest President Donald Trump's policies.
One person was shot and gravely wounded on Wednesday in a second night of unrest in Charlotte, North Carolina, officials said, as riot police dispersed unruly protesters after the fatal police shooting of a black man under disputed circumstances.
A shooting incident in the US state of North Carolina has left one boy dead and three other people injured, according to police officials.
Another shooting incident in the United States has left two people injured in North Carolina, according to police officials.
Two US police officers have been shot and injured after the driver of a stolen truck fired a handgun at them during a traffic stop that led to the discovery of two bodies.

My introduction to this dish happened less than two years ago and it was at one of Chef Barry Bartholomew's limes. Fortunately I was given a crash course in the history of Garlic Pork and the role it played as a Christmas tradition for so many families here in Trinidad & Tobago.
Barry learned to make garlic pork from the Pinheiro family and has since tweaked their family recipe to come up with a signature dish that he can now call his own. Rose Mary Pinherio Perkins was present to give us a detailed history on how the tradition of making garlic pork for Christmas was handed down through the generations and how it became the focal point that brings her family together every year.
Conversation is happening between Rose and Barry and I fumble around trying to quickly get my gear setup to at least start capturing audio. I'm hearing so many great sound bytes happening in this pre-shoot conversation that I know would work beautifully as voice-overs for B roll footage. Unfortunately I don't get it setup in time and as I get both Barry and Rose mic'ed and start recording on the cameras, they both get slightly less comfortable than before. We run through a loose format for the sequence and I start asking a few questions to lead Barry into the intro for the video, thinking to myself "how do I get that energy from before while the camera is rolling?" Then, a few seconds into his intro Barry begins to recall the origins of his introduction to the dish: "I learned the whole procedure of making garlic pork from the Pinheiro family, Phyllis your mother, was the queen of garlic pork…"
In that moment both Barry Rose Mary pause to recall the sweet hand of Phyllis Pinheiro, Rose Mary's mother.
That moment set the tone for the rest of the shoot giving a nostalgic feel to the content that I knew would resonate with our audience.
As it turns out the recipe for garlic pork is not restricted by measurements. In the case of the Pinherio family recipe, it comes down to six ingredients:
How much of those ingredients you add would be totally up to you and your taste, just know that the rule of thumb for garlic pork is: you can never have too much garlic or thyme.
One thing that is constant in every shoot that I do, is the fact that I always learn something new. This shoot was no exception. As it turns out, what we call Spanish Thyme or Oregano here in Trinidad & Tobago is actually Portuguese Thyme or Thymus Carnosus.
The method for making garlic pork is simple.
Step One: Grind The Garlic, Peppers & Thyme then mix with Salt and Vinegar to make the brine
Step 2: Wash The Pork
Step 3: Add Pork To Brine
Step 4: Pose for a photo wearing a really cool hat
Step 5: Allow the pork to sit in the brine for at least 3-4 days
Step 6:
After allowing the brine process, drain the brine out of the pork then allow to simmer in a pot with about 1 inch of water for 20 minutes. Pour the liquid with rendered fat into a bowl and use rendered fat to fry pieces of pork as well as your hops bread.
Serve with pickled onions.
To make pickled onions:
Cut onions into quarters and place in a jar with vinegar, salt, sugar, peppers and cloves. All measurements to taste. Allow to sit in brine for one week.
It's been a while since we uploaded new content and I really wanted to do something a little different to our regular show line-up. Didn't want to just do a recipe video but something that had a little more depth to it. Thanks to Barry for inviting me into his kitchen space to shoot this episode of EAF Presents and thank you to Rose Mary for sharing her family experience.

The fallout from a disturbing 2014 incident involving an Oklahoma Sooners standout continues.
Late last week, following a protracted legal battle, the video showing Joe Mixon punching Amelia Molitor in the face, breaking four bones in her face and leaving her unconscious, was released to the public. Tuesday, a lengthy video that shows the Sooners running back, along with his mother and two lawyers, talking to police detectives about the assault was released as well.
In the new video, Mixon stated that a male friend of Molitor hurled a racial epitaph at him, prompting Mixon to hurl a homophobic slur at what he described to police as "[t]he gay dude." Shortly thereafter, the verbal altercation turned physical between Molitor and Mixon.
"The gay dude … he called me something," Mixon said according to The Oklahoman. "He was like (slur). So then I was like, you got me messed up. And then I called him a (slur). And after that, the girl, she dropped her purse, that's when she came in my face, pushed me, and then my glasses came off, and then, like, I had, like, jumped at her, like, to watch out. And then she came in my face. I put my head down. And she swung on me.
"And after that, like, I was so shocked, because she hit me so hard. It felt like a dude hit me. And after that, like, my face went boom, my reaction was just right there."
Almost immediately, Mixon began to realize how badly he'd screwed up.
"I just felt, I was like … what I got myself into?" Mixon said. "And then once I left, I mean, I felt bad. Even though she hit me and it hurt, I mean, it was just like the fact that you know me, you know, being out of character and, you know, putting myself into certain situations. I just started thinking about the future and everything else."
Mixon was suspended by Oklahoma for the entire 2014 season after the OU hierarchy, including president David Boren, athletic director Joe Castiglione and head football coach Bob Stoops, viewed a copy of the video.
In late October of that year, a plea deal was reached in the case that helped Mixon avoid a trial. As part of that deal, Mixon was given a one-year deferred sentence, 100 hours of community service and will be required to attend cognitive behavior counseling. In February of last year, Mixon was welcomed back to the Sooners.
Molitor sued Mixon in July of this year. Shortly after two-thirds of her lawsuit was dismissed, Mixon penned a letter of apology to Molitor.
This season, Mixon leads the Sooners in rushing yards (1,183) and is second in receptions (32) and receiving yards (449). His 15 total touchdowns (eight rushing, five receiving, one kick return, one passing) were second on the team.

The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ
"Behold the bread of angels….""
Sunday Mass Readings: June 26, 2011
Today's Sunday Mass Reading is for Corpus Christi.
The Lord fed his people with the finest wheat and honey; their hunger was satisfied.
First Reading
Moses reminds the Israelites that although God let them hunger, still he fed them with manna, a food unknown. He brought then out of the slavery of Egypt and cared for them.
Deuteronomy 8:2-3,14-16
2 And you shall remember all the way which the LORD your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, testing you to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, or not.
3 And he humbled you and let you hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know; that he might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but that man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD.
14 then your heart be lifted up, and you forget the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage,
15 who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with its fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty ground where there was no water, who brought you water out of the flinty rock,
16 who fed you in the wilderness with manna which your fathers did not know, that he might humble you and test you, to do you good in the end.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 147:12-15,19-20
12 Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion!
13 For he strengthens the bars of your gates; he blesses your sons within you.
14 He makes peace in your borders; he fills you with the finest of the wheat.
15 He sends forth his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly.
19 He declares his word to Jacob, his statutes and ordinances to Israel.
20 He has not dealt thus with any other nation; they do not know his ordinances. Praise the LORD!
Second Reading
In the one bread and sharing the one cup, we are united in the body and blood of Jesus. We, though many, are still one body in Jesus.
1 Corinthians 10:16-17
16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?
17 Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.
Gospel Reading
Jesus speaks of his body and blood in the holy Eucharist. Whoever receives the holy Eucharist will be raised up on the last day; whoever eats this bread will live forever.
John 6:51-58
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh."
52 The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"
53 So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you;
54 he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
55 For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.
57 As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me.
58 This is the bread which came down from heaven, not such as the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread will live for ever."
Listen in to Father Robert Barron's sermon…
For today's homily from the Gospel of John, listen to Fr. Robert Barron's very relevant, insightful and inspiring sermon.
"All of us are on a spiritual journey from sin to salvation. Like the Israelites longing for a return to Egypt, many of us occasionally desire our old addictions, providing the anxious ego with comfort and security. Far from Egypt, the Promised Land is the spiritual space of complete dependence upon God. But the Israelites are not there yet. They need to eat the manna from heaven. For Catholics, this is the Eucharist. It is the means to getting God's divine life within us."

You never saw Him, and yet believe in Him with sublime and inexpressible joy – a joy which many desire to experience. You are assured that you have been saved by a gratuitous gift, not by our actions -no, but by the will of God through Jesus Christ.
— St. Polycarp (Letter to Philippians)

Ok so its a bit of a mouthful but I am looking forward to attending the GEUG 14 event.
I recently stumbled across it existence as I was looking for some information about Google Apps for education that I might be able to use for my MA in Online and Distance Education.
It should make for an interesting two days.
The first day has speakers discussing Living in the Cloud - A Year with Google Apps. Case studies on connected learning with communities and Using Google apps for teaching and learning. At the very least I will be able to network and find out others experience of use GAFE in Higher Education in the UK.
The second day looks like it will focus on the Roadmap for where Google see Apps for Education going, I am looking forward to hearing about Google Classroom.
My main reason for going are:
To identify if and how other institutions are integrating it into their existing VLE's
Can GAFE enhance the student experience?
Trying to determine if it is possible to mobile technologies across a range of platforms and still have a parity of student experience.
So I hope to maybe see one or two people there, no doubt I will be clutching my chromebook.

A New Beginning
Mary Brooks of Fremont was browsing her local newspaper one day when she stumbled upon an article about one of MHP's new Family Practice providers, Eva Sietsema, ARNP-C. In the article, Eva explained her own battle with weight loss and how working with her primary care provider finally helped her shed 60 pounds.
"The article really caught my attention because I could relate to the story, so I decided to call and make an appointment with Eva," Mary said. "I had worked with a different provider from a neighboring town in the past, but didn't experience very much success."
After Mary's first appointment, she decided to switch all of her primary care to Eva. Mary explained that Eva looked into the true cause of her inability to lose weight, and was willing to dig deeper to get to the root of the problem. "Eva is very caring and never rushes through our appointments," Mary explained. "She's truly wants me to be successful."
Since Mary began visiting Eva in early April, her weight loss plan has been going well, and she is looking to continue that trend. "Eva is very flexible with my care and is very observant," Mary said. "She taught me to have realistic expectations about my weight loss goals and to focus on losing weight in a healthy way."
Mary plans to continue seeing Eva on a regular basis to continue working toward accomplishing her ideal weight. While everyday is a new challenge, she isn't going to give up because she knows Eva is behind her every step of the way.
"I can't say enough about Eva, and what she's done for me so far," Mary said. "I'm not just another patient to get through. She treats me like a friend and truly wants me to be healthy in every sense of the word."
Eva Sietsema, ARNP-C
Eva Sietsema is a Nurse Practioner in the Mahaska Health Walk-In Clinic. In her free time, Eva enjoys playing with her dogs and camping.

Prior to the Paris Motor Show, Kia Motors has teased the world with the first and official images of the all-new Rio. With the Paris show just around the corner, Kia highlights will include the Carens and Soul (including the high-powered 'T-GDI' version of the Soul).
The new Kia Rio, now in its fourth generation, will offer B-segment buyers a compelling package. Thanks to the Rio's progressive new exterior representation, the exterior appearance is defined by straight lines and smooth surfacing that give the car a distinctive look and more mature character. Inside, its driver-oriented cabin is also the most spacious in its class. Meantime, a larger, 325-liter cargo capacity (VDA) makes the new Rio a practical choice.
The new model will be the most technologically-advanced Rio ever produced, and is equipped with new cabin technologies, safety systems, and connectivity features. The Rio will offer both Android Auto and CarPlay integration, and will be the first car in its class to offer Autonomous Emergency Braking with pedestrian recognition.
It will be powered by a range of petrol and diesel engines. In particular, the Rio features Kia's latest three-cylinder 1.0-liter T-GDI (turbo gasoline direct injection) engines, offering high efficiency and low emissions.
Kia Soul: More Soul-ful than ever
For the new Soul, upgrades have been made to the exterior and interior, along with new safety and infotainment technologies. The upgraded Soul boasts remodelled front and rear bumpers with a metallic skid plate for a more robust appearance, optional bi-function HID (high-intensity discharge) headlights with LED DRLs, and an updated finish to Kia's signature 'tiger-nose' grille. Three new metallic exterior paint finishes are available (Mysterious Blue, Russet Brown, and Wild Orange) with white contrast roof and door mirror caps available with Mysterious Blue and Russet Brown. The refreshed Kia Soul is valid with optional new 10-spoke 16- and 17-inch aluminium alloy wheels.
In the cabin, the upgraded Soul receives unique new cloth upholstery, available with a single or two-tone color scheme (black, black and grey, black and brown). New gloss black and metallic highlights and switchgear add to the interior's quality ambience. More customizable than ever, the Soul is available with a new Orange design pack, with orange-and-grey upholstery, grey stitching and orange highlights throughout the cabin. Existing design packs have been enhanced, with Urban Active emphasizing the car's compact SUV credentials, with a series of cosmetic enhancements including a gloss black finish to front and rear wheel arches, and a body kit for front and rear bumpers and side sills. The Red Zone pack provides owners with a set of red highlights to the grille, front and rear bumpers and sills, a red roof, and a small red rear spoiler. Other highlights applicable are; the 5- to 8-inch touchscreens, the usual connectivity package, smart device integration, amenities and safety features.
Alongside the updates to the Soul Range, Kia is showcasing the high-powered Soul T-GDI variant; with a 204 ps 1.6-liter T-GDI (turbo gasoline direct injection) engine. The Soul T-GDI features a unique new design, with bolder front bumper and air intake grille design, twin exhaust pipes at the rear, wider side sills and its own 10-spoke 18-inch aluminium alloy wheels. The model features the T-GDI engine badge on the tailgate, as well as a unique red Soul model logo and red highlights to the front bumper and side sills.
The T-GDI model features its own distinctive cabin color scheme, with black cloth and leather upholstery paired with orange stitching, a D-shaped steering and orange highlights throughout the cabin.
