Inaugural Post!
I'm not exactly sure what you're supposed to write in the first post of a brand spankin' new blog but I assume it's something like this…my name is Meridith Oram. I am a former digital marketer turned Licensed Massage Therapist. I am a mom to a 2.5 year old toddler and wife to a pretty spectacular fella since 2008. I am a nutrition and fitness advocate, life enthusiast, and strong believer in holistic health. I am committed to a gluten-free lifestyle to relieve the Celiac symptoms that affect my GI tract and brain. I'm a part-time massage therapist at the best massage studio in Chester County, PA (Freedom Massage) and a stay-at-home-mom the other days.
The way I came up with the blog name, "Below the Fork", is actually pretty funny. It certainly has evolved over the years to accommodate my health-focused writing, but originally it was to make fun of a co-worker. In a time before Twitter, I think it was more difficult to fake the funk of being a knowledgeable marketer and savvy business person, so instead this poor woman would spew out one cliched phrase after another all throughout client meetings (e.g. 'think outside the box,' 'pick the low-hanging fruit,' 'let's not recreate the wheel,' etc. etc.) So naturally, I thought up another inane phrase that meant nothing and wondered if I could subtly get her to work it into her repetoire of cliched phrases. And that phrase was…drum roll please…"looking below the fork." I never actually had the gall to put this phrase into play, but it became an inside joke between my husband and I. Lo and behold, when it came time to think of a name for my health-conscious blog, "looking below the fork" finally was given meaning.
We bought this domain over a year ago, and I even created the Twitter handle @belowthefork, but hadn't done anything with it. I'm very excited to finally have the time, energy and knowledge to put into making this an informative, fun and interesting blog. I welcome all comments and dialogue. I hope to learn tons from you, and hopefully you'll learn one or two tidbits of information from me.
Thanks for reading! Let's do this!

Jackson Superhero might not be a real name, but it is a story about a real boy, and as the name
suggests, Jackson is far from ordinary. By day, a rare disease limits his ability to move freely, but at
night he is far from grounded. When the sleeping hours come around, and weightlessness takes
over, Jackson takes to the skies. He knows what it means to need the support of others, which is
why when he hears a call for help, he is quickly there to lend a hand.
This beautiful book is about a boy who escapes the confines of his daytime life in his dreams; where he becomes a superhero rushing to aid of his friends!
The book follows the adventure in rhyme which is both easy to read and entertaining for the children. Both my 5yr old and 8yr old loved the story and the littlest was particularity taken with the Owl character!
There is a short blurb in the back of the book about the protagonists inspiration, and whilst the true nature of the reasons behind the nighttime escapades does not really come across in the story, the thought behind the theme is beautiful and one that can be shared easily across many age groups.
Overall this was a lovely book, which both my children enjoyed and we would certainly be interested in seeing more in the series.

Dermal fillers are part of a category of what is called "injectables". They plump up fine lines, wrinkles, some scarring and augment the lips and cheeks by restoring volume and definition.
The most commonly used fillers are Hyaluronic acid based. Hyaluronic acid is a complex sugar that is contained in almost every part of our body and because it is a naturally occurring substance within our body, it is safe, effective; therefore the allergy occurrence is minimal. As we age, the body produces less and less Hyaluronic Acid.
Prior to using any injectable filler we urge you to do your research and look into the manufacturer.
Our clinic's filler of choice Juvederm, Belotero, restylane, rovolax & teoysal
Botulinum Toxin is considered an effective procedure for the reduction of facial wrinkles, especially in the uppermost third of the face.
Injection of Botulinum Toxin into the muscles under facial wrinkles causes relaxation of those muscles, resulting in the smoothing of the overlying skin. Botulinum Toxin is usually visible three days after treatment and is maximally visibility two weeks following injection.
Anti-Wrinkle Injections (£30 deposit required at time of booking) there is no prescriber fee to pay!
Vitamin B12 Injections
Vitamin B12 injection benefits include a healthier cardiovascular system. It is certainly evident that high concentrations of Vitamin B12 are an essential component of a healthy and active lifestyle.
For healthy individuals, the benefits of having vitamin B12 injections include an improvement in overall cerebral functioning as well as physical and psychological wellbeing.
As a moderate appetite suppressant, one of the other potential benefits of B12 injections is easier weight loss. They can be used intermittently and are a popular rejuvenation therapy for exhaustion, 'burn out', migraines and – of course – post-party nausea!
Lip augmentation uses dermal fillers to give lips a more clearly defined vermillion border or cupid's bow by enhancing and adding volume to the lips. Lip augmentation with dermal fillers can be used to give you a youthful looking, plump lips; especially effective for women with naturally thin or thinning lips.
Cheek enhancement help to enhance the cheek bones and also restores lost facial volume which can occur when we age. Dermal Fillers are used to contour and define the cheek bones to reduce flatness and create a more contoured and youthful look.
Chin augmentation utilises dermal fillers to reshape the chin, allowing for more symmetrical facial features. A sharp ample chin can add definition, create shape, contour and balance the face.
Marionette lines and wrinkles are two different types of folds or fine lines that appear from the outer corners of the lips towards the chin.
Marionette lines often occur through ageing but can be more prominent in smokers and those who have too much sun exposure. Using dermal fillers can successfully smooth out these lines, making the skin appear more fuller and lines are erased.
Nasolabial folds, commonly known as 'smile lines' or 'laugh lines', are facial features. They are the two skin folds that run from each side of the nose to the corners of the mouth. They are defined by facial structures that support the buccal fat pad. They separate the cheeks from the upper lip.
Genetics, ageing and certain lifestyle factors can affect how prominent nasolabial folds are but they can be smoothed out with the use of dermal fillers to restore volume and even out the lines.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a procedure that uses dermal filler to even out asymmetry, smooth out bumps and hollows on the nose bridge and make the nose appear straighter and the face more balanced.
The tear troughs are the areas underneath the eyes that can offer appear hollow or dark. Dermal fillers used to treat this area can even out these hollows, wrinkles and reduce the appearance of dark circles, resulting in more youthful, rejuvenated and refreshed eyes.
The Tear Trough procedure can effectively treat sunken eyes, dark under eye circles, tired looking eyes and eye bags.

Sometimes, life is hard.
What makes it hard is our thoughts and our circumstances.
We don't get the job. We don't make the money. We don't reach the goal. Relationships end. Illnesses happen.
It's not all easy.
And that's okay.
Nothing has gone wrong. This is what makes it the human experience. This is what makes the good times good. The amazing memories so sweet.
Accepting this makes it easier. No matter where you go, you'll have problems.
This is great news.
It means you can go all in, pursue your dreams, and take risks.
Problems will be in your life whether you keep repeating your past or whether you go after your dreams. You might as well.
It will be hard. There will be problems.
And that's okay.
That's what makes it worth it because you'll grow in ways you haven't imagined or expected.
That's where the magic happens.
I'm sharing exactly what I mean in this episode.

|GROUND POLE: The major item here in setting the ground pole is plumb, plumb, plumb - make sure the pole is perfectly vertical; though first thing, check for obstacles in your viewing path and choose appropriate pole for your dish diameter (see wind loading).
|If you want, bring concrete to above ground level or leave below ground level so as to add a grass plug later. At this time, pole should be difficult to move because of thick concrete in first pour though later soupy pours will take some time to cure. Recheck for plumbness and push pole to any direction required to be plumb - it should not be far off, if at all, if you have been checking regularly - hold.for a few minutes while you drink a cup of coffee, tea, cola or have a smoke. In about an hour fill the pole with very soupy concrete to at least above ground level - this will add strength to the pole as well as prevent future oxidation (coming from internal of the pole) of the pole at the ground/air interface.
|For four meter or larger residential antenna, use a larger diameter pipe than recommended and place a reducer cap on top when ready to install reflector, i.e. if the mount cap comes ready for a 3.5" pipe then use a 4.0" or greater main pipe diameter and weld a reducer cap on top with a 3.5" diameter that the mount cap will slide on. For more info on pole diameter, see wind loading. Remember: When choosing the site for the ground pole be sure that when the dish is rotated from arc to arc it will not touch anything and that it will have a clear view of the satellite arc from end to end.
|blocks with 2" x 8"s, 2"x 10"s or 2" x 12"s. On the bottom of the form nail (or screw) a 'lip' all the way around (use a 1" x 6") and use this lip to bolt to the bottom plate. The lip and bolt down prevents concrete from oozing out the bottom of the form, use mimimum two bolt downs per side. When cured, remove the bottom plate and hopefully you can dump out the mold and reuse the form - concrete actually shrinks when it cures so you are making a reuseable form.as the finished block will pull slightly away from the form and will come out rather easily but during the pour the form must be bolted down well to the bottom plate. In lieu of 'J' bolts, you can take a threaded rod and then thread nuts and washers to make the anchor in the block. Make a jig for the top (from a 2" x 4") with a center hole to place over the anchor bolt and thread a nut over the exposed bolt to keep the bolt in place and vertical and to be sure the bolt does not sink into concrete. Use the top jig, or another board, to level the top before slipping in bolt, i.e. wipe off excess concrete from pour. Use a mini-level (sometimes called a torpedo level) to guarantee the bolt stays vertical. Make the block in one pour and use medium stiff concrete at time of pour but not too stiff that bolt will not slide in easily - the bolt should slide in and concrete ooze around it easily otherwise anchor will not be set to its best capability. Remember, concrete actually shrinks as it cures so do not but in a straight bolt without something to anchor it in the concrete or you will compromise its stabilizing effect on the dish mount. Do not use anything less than a 3/4" diameter bolt. If you are using allthread for the bolts and/or have in mind to saw off the bolt tops after concrete has cured, i.e. to level all the emplaced bolts, thread a nut onto the bolt before sawing so that after the cut you can work the nut off and reconstitute any threads damaged by sawing.
|with legs at the proposed location and mark the size pad desired; then, remove pole out of the way (of course), build your form. For a weight anchor system, minimum pad thickness is using a 2" x 4" for the form edges for a 2.0m or less diameter dish and go to a 2" x 6" for a 3.0m dish and a 2" x 12" for anything greater. Be sure to frequently stake the form perimeter as concrete is heavy and will push out on the form. Nail form edges into each other. Be sure top of form is level in both directions.
|The mesh is not so much to add strength to the concrete but to hold it together over time (maintain its structural integrity) should the pad crack (due to whatever reason). In case of excess freeze-thaw phenomena locations, i.e. in 'cold' country, using a weight-leg pole assembly, rather than insetting attachment/leveling bolts in the concrete, allows for easier leveling adjustment should the pole become non plumb. When running cable, bury it, if possible, to the pad then run through conduit atop pad to the pole; attach conduit with strapping clamps to concrete using plastic screw anchors inserted into drilled holes (use masonary bit) in the concrete.
|Remember, a good ground pole installation, or pad mount, and depth of pole, prevents a dish from eventually rocking or leaning in the ground but does nothing to resist shear bending above the ground. For dish diameter below 2.5m, with minimal pole height, you can use schedule 80 (USA ASTM code) 3.5" diameter pole. For dish diameter 3.0m using and regular height poles (mesh, fiberglass or solid dish) and taller poles for diameter 2.5m, use schedule 40 3.5" diameter pole. For taller poles above ten feet, in the previous two examples, use some type of side wall support or turnbuckle/wire rope bracing system or expect wind action on the Ku satellites. For 4.0m dishes and commerical installations (not az/el type mount), use schedule 80 pole and go to 4.0 and greater pole diameter - ask dish manufacturer. For these larger diameter dishes they often refer to the 'pole' as a pedestal and usually the manufacturer will recommend and provide the pedestal or a tower for dish support.
|Under no conditions, use PVC (plastic pipe) for any dish mount (I have never heard of it being successful), and never underestimate the power of inclement weather to damage your dish. For commercial installations, I have installed retainer clips around dish lip attached to wire rope (3/8" wire rope minimum) attached to 'J' bolts in concrete posts so if the mount failed (not the pole) then the dish would not fly around. Although we think of failure of the pole, the shear strength of the bolts in the mount are to be equally considered in your design criteria in wind loading. In summary, if you have continued worries about pole failure, have an engineer calculate wind loading forces on reflector and the force moment at the ground/air interface (bottom of pole) and choose pole diameter accordingly. I also use three support cables (3/8" wire rope minimum) placed two/thirds of the way up the pole for stabilization when needed to stay on track in wind or for a free standing tall pole, and tighten with a turnbuckle. Weld 'eyes/ears' on pole for wire rope and anchor at a thirty degree angle from pole to 'J' bolts seated in concrete pods. Your local hardware store will have everything you need.

Everyone Counts!
One has won over 15 awards, including the E.B. White Read Aloud Honor. In this book about colors and numbers, the true message is about bullying. Red is a hot head that picks on blue. None of the other colors stand up for blue, until the day 1 appears. The number 1 stands up to red. The turning point of the story is summed up in the following quote. "One turned to the colors and said, "if someone is mean and picks on me, I, for One, stand up and say, No." Yellow says, "Me two!" and transforms into the number 2. This gives the other colors courage to be brave and count also. Everyone stands united against Red, until Red has a change of heart and transforms into 7. One teaches us that EVERYONE counts! Otoshi's third book Zero is about self-esteem.

8 metrics to measure the success of a guest post
You know that contributed articles are providing a boost, but PR pros must prove their value at every turn. Here's what you should measure.
Guest-contributed content brings tangible value to your content strategy.
Getting published can give your company third-party credibility from respected platforms that your current and new audiences trust and read, though it's easier said than done.
So, how can you determine what your guest-contributed articles are actually doing for your brand?
The following metrics all matter when determining the value of guest-contributed content:
1. Referral traffic
Referral traffic shows you which outside sites are channeling traffic to your website.
This is valuable information because if you're placing content on a specific site, this metric will show you whether it's sending visitors back to your site.
This metric is important because it will tell you whether or not your guest-contributed article resonated enough with readers to prompt them to click a link in that post and then visit your website to learn more about your organization.
Pro tip: In order to see more referral traffic from a guest-contributed article, make sure you're linking to valuable content on your website (such as relevant blog posts, pieces of gated content, or even your homepage) in the article when possible.
2. Organic search traffic
When creating your guest-contributed content, you should always include links back to your company's website where applicable. As you build more backlinks over time, the organic search traffic to your website will increase (something your marketing automation platform can help you track). This is a long-term effort, and you should compare your current metrics with year-over-year data.
Also, try using SEMrush. It can tell you the keywords your guest-contributed content is ranking for, as well as provide an estimate of how much traffic a page is driving organically. This helps you determine whether the keywords you're using are aligning with those your audience uses in searches, and it lets you know that your content is popping up in search results, making it easier for your audience to find your content.
Pro tip: Keep track of the keywords that are driving the most organic traffic, as those indicate the major areas of interest for your key audience members and can continue to inform future content.
3. Direct traffic
Did you know you can actually see your direct traffic increase after you've published a piece of guest-contributed content? Let's say an article of yours just got published on a certain site. That same day, while in your marketing automation platform, you see your direct traffic numbers increase. These two events are related.
When people read an article of yours that is published online, they see your name and your company's name. If they really like the article, it isn't uncommon for them to want to learn more about you, so they Google you (organic search traffic), click a link in the article to visit your site (referral traffic) or type your website directly into the navigation bar (direct traffic).
Direct traffic is also a catch-all term for traffic that your analytics platform can't categorize, so an increase in organic search or referral traffic that might come from your content will also likely result in a bump in direct traffic.
Pro tip: Make sure you're keeping track of your site's direct traffic numbers. That way, when a piece of guest-contributed content is published, you can identify how much traffic each piece is driving.
4. Social media shares
Some online publications actually include the number of times an article has been shared on the page of the article. Most of the time, however, you'll notice when people are sharing your articles by getting notification on social media.
To more accurately track this metric, use Buzzsumo's Content Analyzer. It breaks down how many social shares your article has received. You can even adjust based on date range, too.
Think about how much more inclined you are to read something online when you see that your friend has posted it. When people share your guest-contributed articles on their social media channels, they're doing the heavy lifting for you by allowing you to tap into an even wider network than before. It's the modern-day "word of mouth" method.
You can also use social shares info to plan your future content strategy because it tells you what sorts of topics are particularly interesting to your audience and which publications have an engaged following.
Pro tip: Make sure to include a link to your social media channels in your author bio so readers can easily tag you or even follow you for more valuable content.
5. Comments
Again, this is a metric that you'll have to rely on the online publication sites to provide.
Luckily, most do. When one of your guest-contributed articles receives some comments, that means it has inspired conversation and thought from readers. It's making them think and want to engage. Isn't that what content is about?
Pro tip: Check back after an article is published, look for comments to respond to, and use those questions and comments as inspiration for future articles.
6. Who shares or interacts with your article
It matters who is sharing or interacting with your content, too.
It's very possible to have a big name in your industry notice your article, admire it or find it valuable, and then either share it out or reach out to you about it in some way.
It doesn't even have to be a big name. It could just be someone who works at a company that wants to use your services. Either way, this shows you're providing value to people, people who can possibly inspire mutually beneficial partnerships.
Pro tip: Respond to these people and acknowledge that they've engaged with your shared your article. This can help strengthen the relationship and open the door for future partnerships.
7. Keyword rankings
Using an SEO strategy when putting together your guest-contributed articles will ensure you're doing everything you can to increase the ranking of your website for certain keywords.
Make sure the keywords you're trying to rank for are being used in the anchor text when linking back to relevant pages on your website or blog. You'll know you're succeeding when you track the keywords with a tool such as HubSpot, Moz or SEMrush and notice that the on-site content you're linking to is ranking for those keywords.
Pro tip: Create a pillar blog post on a keyword you're trying to rank for and link to that pillar post in your guest-contributed articles. Over time, you should see that particular pillar post climb in the search rankings.
8. Qualified leads generated
New contacts are the equivalent of new leads, as they are basically any site visitors who have converted for the first time from that particular outside source. By investigating a source (for example, Entrepreneur.com), you can see the individual articles you've placed on that site and the number of leads (or "new contacts") that each has generated.
This lets you know which of the topics you've discussed resonate best with your audience and are of the most interest to those reading your articles. Then, take it one step further. Once those new leads enter your sales process, keep an eye on whether/when they close to determine which of your guest-contributed articles are actually closing sales for your company.
Pro tip: Take note of the article topics that are generating the most new leads. They can help inform future content, which can add fuel to your email marketing and be distributed more proactively to generate even more new leads.

It's Freezing in LA! – Issue 02: Fire
IFLA! is a new independent magazine with a fresh perspective on climate change.
Too often, environmental discussion is polarised into one of two categories: the remote, technical language of science, or the hotheaded outrage of activism. This magazine finds the middle ground, inviting writers and illustrators from a variety of fields to give us their take on how climate change will affect — and is affecting — society.
We want to help untangle the climate tensions and choices that our generation will have to navigate by platforming as many different perspectives as we can find. IFLA! provides original, engaging and surprising content that you will want to read — widening environmental discussion and offering a range of vocabulary and insights not found elsewhere.
2019 must be the year that we muster all our
collective courage and strength to put the
restoration and protection of the natural world at the heart of our economy.
Caroline Lucas MP, IFLA! issue 2
Following a tumultuous 2018 for climate action, at IFLA! we've been thinking about profound change.
In issue 2 we consider how best to prioritise Indigenous voices, redesign design questions and take a look at a long history of attempts to change the weather. We look at peat bogs and algae; cosmetics and tungsten bulbs, and untangle a few more strands of humanity's greatest challenge.

*Note: The information in these guides has not been updated in some time. Whilst care was made to ensure accuracy when written, these care sheets should now serve only as a starting point for further reading.*
Length: Female African House Snakes average out at 3-4ft males generally reach 2-2.5ft but 4-6ft females are noted in some Eastern localities of the capensis species.
Ease of Care: Beginner upwards, excellent starter snake.
Distribution: House Snakes occur in all of sub Saharan Africa, this species is often found in close quarters with humans - feeding on the rodents & pests that occur near human waste.
General Notes: House Snakes make wonderful pets or attractive display animals, ideal first snakes for the aspiring keeper, and a wonderful snake for the more experienced keeper also, relatively easy to breed in captivity and many new wonderful morphs and subspecies becoming more readily available in captivity these snakes are perhaps one of the best all-round captive snakes.
Heating & Lighting
House snakes require a basking area of 30°C & cool side of 20-25°C should be provided. Heating can be provided by an under floor heat mat on one half of the vivarium these should be thermostatically controlled to ensure that they do not overheat. Never use hot rocks, snakes often wrap themselves around them and are burnt. You can also heat your house snakes vivarium with a heat lamp, ensure this too is controlled to heat only to 30°C - should you choose to use this ensure that the snake cannot get close enough to it to wrap itself around it and get a burn. House Snakes are a nocturnal species however some daylight excursions are not uncommon. A photoperiod of 12 hours day/night is easily achieved if the vivarium with which they are housed is help in a room which is lit by natural sunlight - never put the vivarium where it is hit by direct sunlight, this causes it to overheat, subsequently killing the snake. No UV radiation is required by this species & it is not suggested you provide it with any UV radiation.
These Snakes are known for not being fussy at all, they eat most things given to them - although this is an upside it is also a downside since these snakes rarely refuse food, keepers may tend towards overfeeding and thus obesity occurs, this in turn causes health risks for the snake in mention. Male House snakes may not feed very often, in my experience females only refuse food in the late stages of the gestation period or when they are ill. Due to having such a strong feeding response it is recommended you feed separately & with long feeding tongs. They should be offered a food item once a week, the food item offered should be large enough to make a bump in the thickest part of the snakes body. Don't test how large a food item the snake can fit down there, this can cause various complications & likely, the snakes eventual death.
House snakes are fantastic snakes they rarely show aggression - as youngsters they can be a little nippy (as with all young animals) but tame down very quickly - I have hatched & dealt with more than 40 juveniles, none have bitten me. Don't get too comfortable with a young house snake - they are very fast and in a sudden fright they can take off with great haste. When House Snakes smell food they go into a "feeding frenzy" and anything that moves can and will be bitten - a feeding bite is the worst bite you could take as the snake will bite, hold on and wrap itself around you & constrict - it can be very difficult to get the snake to let go. CF/WC animals are said to be much more interested in fleeing from you as opposed to biting, but there is a higher risk of such defensive actions.
- Dip pinkies in Tuna Brine.
- Scent the pinkies on other rodents, Rats are recommended. This has been the method I have found works on occasion.
- Don't give the snakes water for 1 or 2 days and then offer a pinkie saturated with water.
- Use a freshly Killed pinkie.
- Force feeding.
- Live pinkies are also rumoured to be a good starter, however feeding live can cause complications getting them onto defrost mice in the future - it is only suggested as an extreme last resort, it is illegal or morally unacceptable in many places.

I have that feeling of hanging on the edge of a cliff, a bottomless
dark pit stretching out in the distance below.
There is deathly silence, no birds, no sounds, just the wind whistling
and the sharpness of my own breath as I struggle to hang on. But my
fingers are getting numb from the cold, the strength leaving them.
Yet I feel a sense of relief as this happens, and I fall blissfully
into the black caverns below.
Death is not waiting there but rebirth, rejuvenation and strength….
Sometimes you have to let go, be brave, so you can transform your soul.

Jordan Hasay runs to record in Aramco Houston Half Marathon
Recommended Video:
In running her first half marathon on Sunday, Jordan Hasay couldn't believe it when on mile 8, she caught up with defending champion Mary Wacera, who a year ago in Houston ran the fastest-ever women's half marathon in North America.
For some time, Hasay, a former star at Oregon, stayed with Wacera. But Wacera broke away from Hasay to secure third place over fourth-place finisher Hasay, whose 1:08:40 is the fastest ever by an American woman in the Aramco Houston Half Marathon by more than a minute.
"When I caught up to her I saw she was (bib) number 101, and so I was like, 'OK, well, this is a little bit intimidating.' But it gave me excitement for those middle miles," said the 25-year-old Hasay, who won her first national title at the Junior Olympics in 2004. "In a way I was like, 'You've got the defending champion just sitting on you.'
"I was kind of pressing the pace because I wanted to run a fast time and I knew she ran out too quick and was struggling. But she's obviously very tough and experienced and hung on well at the end. I was outkicked but I can't be too upset."
Veronicah Nyaruai Wanjiru of Kenya won Sunday's race in 1:07:58, followed by 20-year-old Dera Dida Yami of Ethiopia in 1:08:06. At the 15K mark Wanjiru had a 12-second lead and she increased it to 18 seconds at 20K. She spent most of the race, which started and finished at the George R. Brown Convention Center, running alone.
The men's race was closer and provided a fantastic sprint at the end. Leonard Korir, 30, slipped past and out-leaned Feyisa Lilesa, 26, just in front of the finish line for the win. Both runners finished in identical 1:01:14. The time was well off Lilesa's Houston record 59:22.
"Today, it didn't go as planned, we were expecting fast times," said Korir, who was born in Kenya and moved to the United States in 2009. "But I told myself, I have to win. I ran as fast as I can and hopefully, I get to the finish line first. In competition, you can't predict the weather."
Korir and Wanjiru each earned $20,000 for their wins.
Hasay's fourth-place run shows her potential in the longer distances. She has been coached the past three seasons in Portland, Ore., by Alberto Salazar, winner of marathons in New York and Boston.
The Beaverton, Ore., resident started the race conservatively, but came on strong at the end. At the 15K mark, Hasay was fifth among American women before starting her assault on the competition.
"It was a little confusing because I wasn't sure what place I was in," said Hasay, who will run her first full marathon in April in Boston. "Mary and I ran together into the city for a while. We caught more women coming into the city.
"I was just trying to focus on whoever I could and beat as many people as possible down the finishing stretches."
The 27-year-old Wanjiru ran the fourth-fastest women's half marathon in Houston. She went out fast but didn't reach her desired time due to the heat and humidity.
Sunday's 7 a.m. race started under a yellow caution flag, indicating a moderate risk for participants. Temperature for the start of the half marathon and marathon was 64 degrees and 96 percent humidity.
"I was expecting to run a 66 (minutes), but I couldn't make it because of the humidity," said Wanjiru, who trains at high altitude. "It was very warm for me. I couldn't make it to 66, but I knew I had to have a good finish."
For Korir, it's been a productive eight days. He came into Houston coming off a cross country win in Edinburgh, United Kingdom and he leaves with a win over Lilesa, a two-time Aramco Houston Half Marathon champion and the 2016 Olympic silver medal winner in the men's marathon.
Both runners wanted and pushed for the victory. At 20K, Korir and Lilesa broke out of a pack of four and put on a dazzling sprint to the finish. There was slight elbowing going on down the stretch.
"With 400 meters to go, I tried to leave him but I couldn't," Lilesa said. "He's a very tough athlete."
At the 10K mark, Korir knew he wouldn't come close to his personal record 1:01:06, when he won the 2015 New York City Half Marathon.
"Today, it didn't go as planned, we were expecting fast times," said Korir, whose time in Houston is the sixth fastest in race history. "But I told myself, I have to win. I ran as fast as I can and hopefully, I get to the finish line first.
"Houston is usually a fast course. I was hoping to run faster than my personal best. It was a little humid. Maybe my best time will come next time."

Happy International Womxn's Day! To celebrate I'm sharing a few of my favorite female owned businesses in a variety of categories. This is in no way comprehensive - the list of businesses I love supporting could go on forever but I wanted to highlight a few that I keep returning to over and over.
Rarity by Casey
I've lost count of how many Rarity bow bands I own, but it's safe to say I have enough to match almost any outfit! Casey started the hair accessory business on her own, but now employs several other women who all hand make these adorable bows. They go really fast though, so if you happen to catch the shop when it's open be sure to stock up on all your favorite colors!
Studio DIY
I don't remember exactly how I discovered Studio DIY's "Can't Clutch This", but I am so so glad I did. I signed up for the subscription, and receiving these fun bags each month always puts a smile on my face! Kelly, who runs Studio DIY, is such an inspiration for me. She's a style icon of mine, and a total boss with a gorgeous family!
I'm obsessed with Ban.do in every possible way. They bring so much color and joy to all of their products, and they're even fun to follow on instagram for a little inspo! They started as a hair accessory company, but now they have everything a girl could want, from teeshirts to planners, to giant heart shaped pool floaties. My dream is to same day get to design a product with their team!
Lola is an awesome feminine hygiene company that makes period products as well as intimacy products. The tampons and pads are 100% organic cotton, and can be ordered as a reoccurring subscription that arrives when you need it each month. One of my favorite things about Lola is that they care about their community, and donate the necessary feminine hygiene products to women in shelters who would otherwise be without each month. These are some of the most needed items at shelters, but are rarely donated. Since 2015 they've donated over 1 million tampons!
Molly Moon's
When am I not talking about ice cream? Molly Moon's is a Seattle favorite and the owner Molly is so rad! Not only is the line always out the door, but Molly donates to several charities and created Scout Mint in order to buy Thin Mints to send girl scouts to camp.
Bird and Stone
I've highlighted Bird and Stone a few times, because I love how they combine philanthropy with fashion! All of their bracelets represent a different social cause, and they donate some of the proceeds to relevant charities. Two that are important to me are She Should Run which helps support women in politics, and Planned Parenthood
Brit and Co
Brit and Co is a media company so as far as I know they don't sell any actual products, but I adore their instagram and all of the motivational quotes that come along with it. Their website is full of listicles, which I end up reading wayyyyy longer than I mean to.
Confete Party Box
Confete is another great Seattle-based company, and I got to meet their founder at a networking event for local creatives. They give you everything you need to decorate an adorable themed party, and I'm super obsessed with their balloon displays.
There are not enough ways to describe how awesome Glossier is. I think the first product I tried from them was Boy Brow, and ever since I've been slowly trying everything they have to offer. So far I haven't disliked a single product! I especially love all of their skincare products which I use everyday as part of my routine.
True and Co
I posted about my True and Co bra on instagram a couple months ago, and since then I've tried two other styles. I love all three bras so much, and have found the undies to be super duper comfy as well! And like I said on insta, why should men make all the money from bras?? Buy them from a female owned company and ditch those horrible underwire at the same time.
Rifle Paper Co.
I've been in love with Rifle Paper Co. and their paintings by Anna Rifle Bond for years now! Everything is so perfect and sunny and girly and there's nothing in this world that can stop me from buying their florals on everything (including this awesome pair of Keds that I have). I've been using their planners for 4 years and 100% would recommend them to anyone who is obsessed with organization as much as I am.
Studio Pep
Another great party supply company, Studio Pep makes the cutest confetti, balloons, and even better yet: balloons filled with confetti! I used their products at my 23rd birthday party and the colors were everything I dreamed they'd be. The company was started by an awesome mama who is totally sweet, and includes "our daughters deserve the same opportunities as our sons" as a company belief. AMEN!!
I've been subscribed to Rocksbox for about a year, and I absolutely love it! I'm an affiliate, but even if I wasn't I'd still be a loyal subscriber and spread the word to my fellow jewelry lovers. Each month I usually swap my box out at least once or twice, which gives me so many options for styling my looks! I end up buying a ton of the pieces too so I can wear them over and over. If you want to try Rocksbox, use code "alhblogxoxo" for a free month!
Oui Fresh
Oui Fresh is ran by some of my favorite women on instagram, the ladies behind A Beautiful Mess. They have some cute apparel, an all natural beauty subscription box, and my personal favorite the daisy sunglasses! Check out their blog and shop for tons of gorgeous color and fun DIYs.
P.S. My "Sisterhood is Powerful" tee is from Luella, another great female owned business, and you can use code "xoxoalh" for a discount! The lightning earrings are from Ruby Olive, which is one of my go-to brands for light weight statement jewelry!
When I'm considering a new product, I try to choose companies that share my values whenever possible. As a woman it's extra important to me that I support female run businesses, which is why I'm teaming up with Billie!
Billie is a "female first" razor company that makes products specifically for all who identify as a woman! The starter kit includes a handle, 2 razor cartridges, and a magnetic shower holder for just $9. Each refill pack after that is $9 for 4 replacement cartridges and the frequency can be adjusted to match how frequently you shave.
Billie understands that shaving is a personal preference, and whether you like to shave every where everyday or prefer to grow it out is left up to you. They started Project Body Hair in order to change how our hair is shown in the media saying, "Commercials show women 'shaving' perfectly smooth, airbrushed legs. Strange, huh? But everyone has short stubble, long strands, or something in between. What you do with yours is up to you - grow it, get rid of it, or comb it. It's your hair, after all." And if shaving isn't your thing, you can still stock up on their other body care products (like the Sudsy Body Wash and Dry-Bye Body Lotion) which are vegan and cruelty free!
Billie is also addressing the Pink Tax, where women are charged more for everyday products than men are. The old tradition of "pink it and shrink it" comes with a cost that results in the average woman spending an extra $1,351 per year. Whether it's the actual tax we pay on feminine hygiene, or just the increased prices we pay, it's estimated that each purchase costs an average of 7% more. While major changes to our society and legislation need to happen before this problem can be solved, Billie is working hard to do their part. The Billie subscription is cheaper than Dollar Shave Club, which charges $26 for a 4 pack of razors and a 6 ounce tube of shave butter.
If you're interested in learning more about the Pink Tax, I definitely recommend you check out AxThePinkTax.com where you can calculate your estimated spend, and read studies about gendered pricing.

Thank you to the Billie team for collaborating on this post! The starter kit and lotion were provided to me at no cost. Promoting products that not only support women, but actively seek change is something I care deeply about and I am excited to try my Billie kit and spread the word about ending the Pink Tax!
Who Run the World? Girls!
It's almost the 4th of July, and fireworks are just around the corner! And a day off right in the middle of the work week?? It's safe to say I'm super excited to spend the holiday on the lake , firecracker popsicle in hand 🙌
This year I'm teaming up with my friends at Bird + Stone to celebrate Independence Day in style with their latest cuff. Bird + Stone knows that the founding fathers wanted to build a country with democracy as its foundation, and in the words of Angelica Schuyler, it's time to "include women in the sequel" *work!*
That's why Bird + Stone decided to dedicate their newest accessory to women in politics. For every purchase of the "Who Run the World?" set, they will donate 10% of the cost to She Should Run "to expand the talent pool of women running for office, close the gender gap in politics by getting 250,000 women to run by 2030, and provide community, resources, and growth opportunities for aspiring political leaders"!
Even in 2018, women are dramatically underrepresented in politics. We make up 50.8% of the population, but only 20% of congress (the Center for American Women and Politics has a great tool for seeing these numbers broken down for all political offices, that you can check out here). It's difficult for legislation to accurately reflect our country's needs when half of citizens don't see themselves reflected in the politicians themselves.
Luckily, more women are running for office than ever!
According to the New Yorker, as of April, 472 women had entered the race for the House of Representatives and 57 in the Senate. In 2012, that number was 298, and 36 respectively. The article also mentions the diversity of these women, saying "This year's wave of female candidates has some striking features besides its sheer size. There is also a great deal of diversity within the group. It includes more women of color than previous electoral years, as well as a number of immigrants."
You can see the full list of female candidates here.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg is famously quoted saying "There will be enough women on the Supreme Court when there are nine". Men have unevenly represented this country for decades, so why is the idea of an all-female court so radical? It's time for our government to represent our population, and time for women to close the gender gap in politics.
Because who runs the world? GIRLS
Thank you to Bird + Stone for collaborating on this post! You can purchase your own set of Who Run the World cuffs here, and learn more about the She Should Run program, or make a donation here! To read my previous post featuring Bird + Stone, click here.
The Future is Female
This week I'm really excited, because I am partnering with Bird + Stone to style a few pieces from their line of "jewelry with impact". Bird + Stone not only makes super cute accessories, but also focuses on building a world with gender equality. All of the pieces are ethically manufactured in New York, and each purchase gives back to a cause that supports their mission of female empowerment!
My favorite piece from their collection, is my "The Future is Female" cuff, which gives 10% of the proceeds to Planned Parenthood in order to fund preventative health and family planning services. Planned Parenthood also provides cancer screenings and sex education. As a PP donor and volunteer, I love being able to give continued support when I shop.
I also love this "Dream Builder" cuff, which funds micro-loans and financial training for women who struggle from poverty in rural Kenya. Bird + Stone helps these women start businesses and build their dreams.
In honor of this collaboration, I've decided to share some books about strong women that have empowered me!
Be sure to let me know if you read any of these books, and what you think! Also leave a comment if you have any suggestions for other books or resources that you've enjoyed, I'm always looking for a new read!
Thank you to Bird + Stone for partnering with me on this post! I received the jewelry at no cost, in exchange for this collaboration. You can learn more about the company and how they give back to the community on their site. As an added bonus, when you share your bracelet on Instagram, Bird + Stone doubles the donation to 20%!
Protect our Lives Not Their Guns
Because no child should go to school afraid.
Because no teacher should be given bullets instead of books.
Because congress is bought by the NRA.
Because the lives of Black Americans matter.
Because human rights are more important than gun rights.
Because enough is enough. Today I marched.

Has Thailand found a cure for the Corona Virus?
Anything and everything about Thailand

Re: Has Thailand found a cure for the Corona Virus?
The people in control of the Thai media are most likely Chinese Thai, and are probably acting in concert with their cousins in mainland China through obfuscation and partial truths. Both countries are in a sheer panic state as there is so much going against them currently, above all their unfounded pride.

Thailand identifies six more novel Coronavirus cases, bringing total in country to 25
By Adam Judd
February 4, 2020
BANGKOK — The Ministry of Health on Tuesday stated to the press that six more cases of coronavirus infection were confirmed in Thailand, bringing the total to 25 confirmed cases since the beginning of the outbreak.
Suwanchai Watthanayingcharoenchai, chief of the Disease Control Department, said at a press conference at 4:00 PM this afternoon that four Thai and two Chinese nationals were found to test positive for the novel strain of coronavirus, with one of them being in serious condition.
He mentioned that the other five patients were recovering from the virus and in stable condition.
As for the Thai patients, Suwanchai told the press that two of them are couples returning from a trip to Japan, while the two remaining Thai Nationals are a taxi driver and a private chauffeur in the resort town of Hua Hin.
He did not identify which region the Chinese nationals came from. He also did not clarify if the Thai nationals returning from a trip to Japan caught the virus domestically or internationally.
Japanese authorities have been notified of the infection, Suwanchai added.
Seventeen infected patients are being treated at hospitals, while eight of them have recovered fully and returned home, health officials said.
In a related development, Suwanchai said Thai experts are working with South Korean counterparts to investigate a South Korean patient who had been found to be infected with the novel Coronavirus after returning from a trip to Thailand.
The Thai Ministry of Health stressed that all precautions were being taken with individuals who had come in contact with the infected individuals and that there was no need for the public to panic. Relatives and friends of the cases were being quarantined and observed. None showed signs of the virus.

Philips Deploys RFID in Its Supply Chain
The semiconductor company will track cartons of microchips from a manufacturing and packaging facility in Taiwan to a distribution center in Hong Kong.
Mar 02, 2005—The saying "eat our own dog food" is often used by technology companies to refer to the fact that they use the technology products they sell to customers in their own operations. Philips Semiconductors, one of the largest producers of RFID microchips, has decided to have a healthy helping of its own dog food.
Philips has announced that it has deployed RFID technology in its own supply chain to track boxes of microprocessors from its manufacturing and packaging facility in Kaoshiung, Taiwan, to its Asia-Pacific distribution center in Hong Kong. And Philips is considering rolling out the technology to other manufacturing facilities and distribution centers within its own supply chain.
"We decided to take [the RFID technology] we've been offering customers and use it internally to get the benefits ourselves," says Dirk Morgenroth, RFID marketing manager at Philips Semiconductors. "Preaching about the benefits [of RFID] is one thing. Going through the experience [of deploying the technology ourselves] is another."
About 18 months ago, Philips brought in IBM to provide consulting services and help Philips determine how the technology could be used to deliver a return on investment. A trial was launched in the second quarter of 2004 using RFID readers from Tagsys, a French RFID systems provider; labels from a Smartag, a Singapore company; and label printers from Zebra Technologies.
The pilot ran until November. Philips analyzed the results and worked with IBM to calculate the potential ROI. Based on the potential savings the RFID system can deliver, the company's senior management recently made the decision to move from a pilot to deploying the technology throughout the Kaoshiung and Hong Kong supply chain operations.
Employees at the manufacturing facility in Taiwan pack microchips into boxes (known as "pizza boxes" in the industry because that's what they look like) or in plastic tubes that are then placed in cartons. The Zebra printer prints a bar code on the label with an embedded RFID transponder and encodes a serial number onto the transponder.
Philips is using 13.56 MHz tags with its own I-Code SLI integrated circuit. They conform to the ISO 15693 standard, have a read range of up to 1.5 meters (4.5 feet) and can hold up to 1024 bits of data. Staff at the distribution center typically break down a pallet and create shipments for specific customers. Using their handheld readers, they encode each box's RFID tag with information about the customer to which that box will be shipped. When the shipment is sent out, the tags are read again to make sure the order is correct and the cases are bound for the right customer.
Philips is talking to customers about receiving tagged shipments and sharing the data to determine the benefits that RFID can deliver to both Philips and its customers. Morgenroth says Philips is considering using Electronic Product Codes on the tags when customers are involved, so that data associated with a shipment can be stored in a secure database and that both Philips and the customer can share access to the database for better supply chain coordination.
For competitive reasons, Philips is not saying how much it is investing in the rollout or what it expects the return on investment will be. But Morgenroth says that the trial showed that the use of RFID reduced the amount of labor needed to pick cases for an order by 25 percent, and it reduced the time it took to receive shipments into inventory and process outbound shipments by 50 percent each.
Semiconductor companies have used RFID technology for several years to track the location of wafers within their manufacturing facilities. But this is the first large-scale deployment of the technology in the supply chain. Morgenroth says Philips will track several million boxes per year moving between the Kaoshiung and Hong Kong facilities. If the technology is rolled out throughout Philips semiconductor supply chain, it would cover upwards of 100 million boxes per year. And that's a lot of dog food.

Greensboro, NC - The U.S. Marshals Joint Fugitive Task Force (JFTF) arrested a North Carolina
fugitive who was wanted by the NC Department of Community Corrections-Probation/Parole. The
fugitive was also wanted for questioning on an unrelated incident.
Diquarius Gilbert, a 22 year old, black male, was arrested in Greensboro on March 24, 2015, at
10:15 AM when located by members of the JFTF. Gilbert was wanted on five separate arrest warrants
which were issued by the NC Department of Community Corrections-Probation/Parole and the High
Point Police Department for the following charges:
Absconding Probation for Common Law Robbery
Felony Breaking and or Entering
Felony Larceny After Break/Enter
Possession of Firearm by Felon

The JFTF spent countless hours conducting surveillance and interviews attempting to locate Gilbert.
Their efforts paid off when Investigators received valuable information on Gilbert's whereabouts. The
JFTF verified the information, converged and surrounded 1503 Julian St. Greensboro, NC. During the
arrest Gilbert concealed himself in a bedroom in an attempt to elude arrest. Members of the JFTF
located Gilbert in a bed room and gave verbal commands instructing Gilbert to exit the bed room with
his hands up. After several minutes of discarding the commands, Gilbert exited the bed room with his
hands up and was taken into custody. JFTF transported Gilbert to the High Point Jail where he is
currently being held.
The U.S. Marshals Joint Fugitive Task Force for the Middle District of North Carolina is comprised of
investigators from the U.S. Marshals Service, Chapel Hill Police Department, Durham Police
