Academe is a dysfunctional Never Never Land whose denizens have barricaded themselves in their playroom. Leave them alone, and debate the day's issues with adults.
August, beginning of the Fall semester: for me, the most depressing time of the year. I have long recognized that I will return home after the University's opening round of meetings (convocation, college, department) with a dense cloud of misanthropy and pessimism hanging over me. Friday was no different. At least I have now grown to expect the indisposition, the way some people expect to come down with a cold after a walk in the rain. When classes start on Monday, I will retreat to my work, and things will clear up again… for the time being.
What is the peculiar cluster of character traits (or flaws?) that causes some people to be enamored of meetings? Why do these same people crowd into academe? Is it so that they may have more meetings? Or does the Ivory Tower bend and sag with constantly replete meeting rooms up and down its bowels because it draws people with certain character flaws? Do not suppose that I am too obtuse to grasp the necessity of conferring with colleagues on occasion. But among the many topics not fit for meetings are the following: 1) announcements of events—time and place—that, thanks to our e-world with its i-Gismos, are unremittingly cycled through our lives already; 2) recognition of and applause for good little doggies who have lately performed good little tricks; 3) airing out of grievances so specific or recondite in nature (parking spaces, document cameras in Business Building, incompatibility of degree requirements and transfer policy in Biology program) that they should be broached in private conferences, 4) personal anecdotes from Dr. X's summer trip to China or Dr. Y's recruitment expedition to darkest rural America aiming at humor and self-promotion in equal measures (and veering grossly wide of one).
Strain all of these from all of my Friday meetings… and you have sufficient content to fill most of an hour, as opposed to all of five hours.
I will say in this confined space (for I well know that very few academics of any stripe visit The Intellectual Conservative) that the flooding of academe with women over the past forty years has much to do with the problem. Not that men don't gossip and ramble; in some ways, they're worse than women in that regard. In a private-sector office setting, for instance, men probably shoot the breeze around the water-cooler far more than their fair compatriots. The kind of woman who chased after a Ph.D. in the seventies, however, was a distinctive sub-species. She had been told until she was reciting it in her troubled sleep that women are worthless without a career. She had no marketing savvy and a smoldering contempt for any sort of dickering (perhaps because her own Plain Jane appearance had made of her an introvert, with few social skills and no ability to draw attention). A bookworm by default, then, she was at least always highly rewarded in school… and so she proceeded from one level of schooling to the next. The most popular fields for birds of her feather were those where she was encouraged to link her special gripes at the world to some vast, trans-epochal conspiracy. History, literary studies, social studies… what the hell, why not just create Women's Studies? Now, as an established professor twenty or thirty years later with no life independent of her brilliant career, this person craves constant attention and recognition. She lobbies for more committees where she may do yet more haranguing before captive audiences, she informs every news outlet in five counties about her latest article, she submits overworked and impatient subordinates to soulful soliloquies about that mysterious something still missing from cutting-edge pedagogy (and which will require a new committee to locate), and her hand rises in the air like a weed after a summer shower when the President or Dean (finally winded) asks the assembly, "Anything else?"
Of the topics that qualify as legitimate business, ironically, just about every one smacks of the marketplace. Salaries are always on the docket: raises, to be precise. Will there be raises this year? Ancillary topics include grant money. The front office, mediating between state legislators and faculty prima donnas, drive home the hard fact that new tax-based funds will not be forthcoming unless at the federal level (where, of course, it waits in limitless supply)—and that grants are the way to mine this bonanza. Will faculty members (nowadays known simply, if brutally, as "faculty") receive release time to write grants, or receive time-off if grants are awarded? (In other words, can they draw the same salary for doing less work in the classroom)? Discussion, explanation, question, discussion.
Then there's the matter of travel money. Everybody knows how important it is for scholars to travel far and wide so that they may deliver their cutting-edge papers and also imbibe the cutting-edge research of others. The location for all of these scholarly Ginsu-infomercials is invariably a flagship campus with posh hotel accommodations and a posh banquet at a cordon-bleu venue. The scandal of underwriting such excursions with tax dollars pales in comparison to a GSA conference in Vegas or Hawaii, to be sure; but it is of the same lineage. I recall the late Stephen J. Gould remarking in one of his books years ago how anomalous it seemed that literary scholars must travel hundreds of miles to read papers whose contents, unlike a scientific presentation, require no slides and elicit no collaborative discussions afterward. Today one might as well extend Gould's observation to the sciences, as well. The Internet has completely obviated the need for the tweed pow-wow in New Haven, where physicists sketch prototypes of anti-gravity machines on cocktail napkins between sessions. These jaunts are expense-paid vacations, plainly put… and to think that their beneficiaries are always clamoring for another raise!
A particularly repellent kind of discussion to me always takes place in departmental meetings: the shift to more technology. Academics, one would think, ought to find themselves in rather a bind on this issue. As progressives, they cannot logically resist the advance to the latest Lap Pad Tooth Ray MPX 5.4. Yet the development of this technology (did I forget to say that it is cutting-edge?) has not only been driven by the sordid profit motive: it also extends our ruinous cultural vector into the "dumbing down" of eye-flutter ease and speed. Literature professors, especially, fancy themselves the trustees of society's conscience (including, but not restricted to, the New Awakening concerning the suppression of women). In the name of clean conscience, how does submitting adolescents to yet more instant gratification prepare them for the labor of independent, sustained thought required in conscientious living? The late Neil Postman, no particular friend to the political Right, asked such questions consistently, probingly, and usefully in an academic setting… but he belonged to a previous generation, when the word "liberal" still bore trace evidence of its etymological connection to "liberty". Now we have entire programs taught on iPads! Naturally, some technology can in fact bring a greater variety of classic texts than ever to young eyes at a more affordable price than ever, and the iPad, if wisely reined in, makes the list… but I never detect that reading is the primary objective in our curricular transformation. Instead, I am treated to the nauseabund spectacle of professors—some of whom fail student essays for lacking a title or not being double-spaced—dropping the word "cool" left and right in admiration of this or that "app". I am so flaming sick of hearing about "cool apps" in English Department meetings that I may have to put myself on the FBI "watch" list for ticking time-bombs.
And the answer to the conundrum above, by the way, about how academics negotiate this deep contradiction of values is… that they do not deign to notice it. They breeze right past it.
Indeed, I am now brought to the reason why I have shared my personal headache with a larger audience. The broader public needs to understand of progressives in general, and academics in particular, that no concern over coherence guides their words or their actions. They suffer from a spiritual paralysis which will confine them forever (with very few exceptions) in early adolescence. They "role-play", like unsupervised children enjoying a romp through Mommy and Daddy's wardrobe closet. They are smarter than the rest of us, yet their writing makes little sense and their essential choices in life spring from pique, egotism, and peer pressure. They will distill no end of scorn upon money-making, yet they expect regular salary hikes and are apt to high-five each other when some new committee-hatched gimmick increases enrollment. They revile the traditional history-based model of teaching as mere propaganda for the ruling class, yet they insist that their students listen to long lectures about the Shelleys' conjugal life or William and Dorothy Wordsworth's relationship prior to regurgitating notes on cue for 50% of the total grade. They cry foul upon white mainstream society for demanding that American citizens speak English, yet they eviscerate freshman essays for exceeding two pages or not having one-inch margins. They sneer at Ann Romney's thoroughbred and her other aristocratic trappings, yet they bristle if any student neglects to address them as "doctor" and deal out a cold correction. About half of my own department raised a mild protest the other day when provided a "free" lunch from Chick-fil-A, yet all were placated when informed that the departmental budget would not allow them to feast so handsomely anywhere else, and not a one reflected (on this occasion or similar ones that I have witnessed) that the students struggling to pay inflated tuition rates—i.e., lowly taxpayers—were the ultimate source of such largesse.
Everything about these people is a fraud. Their world is a bubble, and their lives never transport them beyond it. Do not look for them to respond to reason. Do not protest their hypocrisy when they attribute the Aurora shooting to the Tea Party but dismiss the Family Research Center's assailant as a pitiable psycho. Do not expect them to abstain from calling gracious, dignified public servants like Michele Bachmann and Alan West filthy names dredged out of the gutter.
Don't waste your breath. These are children—and they're not your children, so you can do absolutely nothing to correct them. Ignore them, then. Be civil but not cordial, do not invite them into your private life, do not seek to include them in discussions of serious issues, and do not "reach out" to them unless you have nearby the wherewithal to sterilize your hand. The rare few adults among them will find you—will seek you out. Otherwise, keep the invisible wall in excellent repair. Their world is not yours, and your world is not theirs. Stop trying to compromise, and stop expecting apologies.

Our newest idea is bearing fruit: the sponsor-a-birth program!
Two nights ago we attended the first of many sponsored births to come! The first sponsor was my mother, thank you so much!
Silvia and her husband are a young couple that was having their second baby. She had had the first baby at the national hospital and did NOT want to go back there.
She labored quickly and easily and gave birth without a tear to a beautiful 7.8 lbs baby girl named Elisabeth. Emily Kate, one of our interns was present, as well as Natasha who is taking pictures for our website. They arrived Just on time.
They were very happy with their experience and the husband donated the 400Q he had been able to save up for their birth to the clinic. Here a picture of Silvia and Elisabeth:

Vehicle Colour Change
Vehicle wrapping, or colour change as it is often referred as, has become a highly effective way of transforming your vehicle, without the need for costly re-sprays, and the vehicles original paint work is left unaffected.
The process is accomplished by applying an adhesive backed vinyl sheet to each panel of your vehicle. This is then warmed gently and formed to the contours of the vehicle. All our technicians are trained by industry market leader 3M™ which ensures that not only do you get the right product for the job, but the vinyl is applied in the correct process meaning the best possible results.
Here at APM we can offer full or part vehicle wraps to suit your style and budget. Our roof / bonnet wraps have grown in popularity over the years, with some manufactures now following the same trends by applying these styles to their production cars.
We can offer a wide range of colours to suit your needs, including the most popular styles – Matte Black, Matte White, Gloss White, Carbon, plus many more.
APM ensure all materials used are the best on the market. Manufactures like 3M, Avery, Hexis and Arlon who are currently the leading suppliers of wrapping film. Our technicians are professionally trained and we continue to invest in refresher courses to ensure we are fully up to date with the latest techniques and material application tips.
- Non-permanent
- Paint protection
- Wide range of colours
- Bespoke look
The cheapest quote is not always the best. When comparing quotes it's important to ask the correct questions.
What vinyl is being used and does it come with an appropriate guarantee for a set period of time?
Are the fitters trained in the correct manner. Don't be afraid to ask for proof of accreditation or examples of past work. There are many companies who would try to claim accreditation, without the relevant training.
Often overlooked, but remember to check that your vehicle is insured under the companies policy both during the day, and if left overnight.
Is the work being carried out in the correct environment? Temperature is critical for the longevity of your wrap / graphics, and should be applied in a controlled environment.
Why choose APM – We take great pride in offering a top quality service to all our customers, including aftercare. Our fitters are fully trained and accredited by 3M in the application of vinyl. We offer competitive prices without the compromising on material quality.

MotorWorld – "The ultimate Motoring festival" but what does a car company think about it?
12 February 2016 Interviews No Comments
MotorWorld will be held in Sydney at the Sydney Motorsport Park (Formerly Eastern Creek Raceway).
It is not just a static display of cars. It will have opportunities for people to drive cars around the race track (and a reasonable speed), informative displays, a four-wheel-drive track and fun for kids.
But it does need to have car companies prepared to display their vehicles.
Is it enticing for car companies? We spoke to David McCarthy from Mercedes Benz Australia.

They will be joined by flutist Marina Piccinini for a program of duos as trios. One of the highlights of the program will be Astor Piazzolla's Histoire du Tango suite. The program will also include music by Bach, Sérgio Assad, and Chen Yi.
Saturday, April 8, 7:30 p.m., Herbst Theatre: The season will conclude with a solo recital by Chinese guitarist Xuefei Yang for which the program has not yet been announced.
Subscriptions are now on sale for $250 for premium seating in the Orchestra and the front and center of the Dress Circle, $210 for the Side Boxes, the center rear of the Dress Circle, and the remainder of the Orchestra, and $150 for the remainder of the Dress Circle and the Balcony.

I have my brokerage accounts with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney and I want to move to another brokerage firm. I'm not sure which one yet. Does anyone know, or know how I can find out : What are the rules about switching a prototype Smith Barney, or Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, Sole Proprietor 401K plan to another brokerage firm? I have my own business and have a One Person, Sole Proprietor 401K Plan at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney. I was with Smith Barney when I opened it and they sent me their Template 401K Plan Adoption Agreement to use to create my 401K Plan for my business. At that time I had an Attorney/Accountant Review it for me when I set it up to make sure I did everything correctly. It is currently set up as one 401K plan but with 2 accounts under it, a Simple 401K and a Roth 401K, both under the same 401K Adoption Agreement. Smith Barney created all of the original 401K document templates that I used to set up my Simple 401K and then notified me when I could also open the Roth 401K under the same 401K Plan Adoption Agreement and I chose to do that also.Do I have to create a new 401K Adoption Agreement at the New Brokerage Firm? Do all brokerage firms have their own 401K Adoption Agreement for me to create and move my 401K assets into? Which are the better Brokerage Firms to help me do this? I want to make sure it is done correctly and the Brokerage Firm I move my 401K to has knowledgeable, reliable people to make sure everything is set up correctly. I also have other Brokerage Accounts I would be moving at the same time, but my biggest concern is what I need to do to move my Sole Proprietor 401K plan which was created using the Smith Barney Adoption Agreement. Any recommendations on how to do this or how to find out how to do this and which would be a good Brokerage Firm to switch to would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for any information and suggestions on how to do this.Shari
I had all of my brokerage accounts with Morgan Stanley in the early 90's, but switched to Fidelity. Personally, I perfer either Fidelity or Vanguard. I contacted Fidelity...they sent me the paperwork to have the accounts transferred and they took care of the rest. No pain, no snags, no stress. I am sure Vanguard has the same process.If you have any other questions, the are more on this Board who can aid you.Donna
I was wondering why do you prefer Fidelity and Vanguard, especially since they started as mutual fund companies. It sounds like you are saying they are good for other brokerage services also. I will check with Fidelity and see what they say about the procedure for moving my Sole Proprietor 401K and other accounts there and what their expenses would be for account maintenance and trades. Thank you for your advise. Shari
Fidelity has a brokerage division. They claim to be the largest discount broker. I use them, and find them very capable. No complaints. And yes, they do care about your business and try to keep you happy.Most people do most things with Fidelity and Vanguard over an 800 phone line or over the internet. That works quite well, but Fidelity also has offices in major cities. That means you can go meet with them face to face if the paperwork gets complex or you need more information. They also offer seminars on a variety of investing topics at their offices (as well as webinars for the rest of the world).

The Benefits of Virtual Merchant Account Services
Operating a business today means that you have to be very aware of the different strategies that will help you to get a good percentage of the market share. Today, there are many methods that a company can use for to get that competitive advantage that allows them to get a portion. Digital presence is very important for every company especially because it's one of the limiting factors that determines how many people will be getting. There are many people today that use this smart phones and computers on a daily basis to connect to the Internet and companies that provide services from online platforms. It is easier and much more convenient to buy any product or service you want from an online platform rather than going to physical stores. For a business to be able to benefit from this, they not only need to have a website, but a website that is able to function as an e-commerce platform. The website needs to affect and this means that, you're going to have sections divided into advertising, payments and also navigation should be easy. When you are able to have such platforms designed for you, it'll be easy to accept the credit or debit card payments from customers.
Getting the online market would only be possible if you offer such options.The only possible way that you can build such a system that can accept the payments is if you use virtual merchant account services. Once you are able to create an account with such companies, they will do everything necessary to ensure that you're able to start selling your products using the website. Since there are a number of service providers in this industry, you should be able to choose the best because the process of working with them would be easy especially in completing payments. Among the things that are essential in the process of opening the account would be how the payments will be processed completely using the platform and the information you have disclosed.There are several benefits associated with such systems as you shall get to know.
You will be able to reach more customers when you have such platforms properly processed for you. Because you've simplified the process of buying, it becomes very easy to sell your products and services. The processing of payments is done in the safest way possible especially because of the structure of such platforms and that is why they are essential. Such reason should therefore motivate you to use the services of such companies.

When you import from, or export to, countries in the EU, you generally don't have to worry about VAT or customs duties. That may change when the UK leaves the EU at 11pm on 29 March 2019.
It's possible that the UK will leave the EU automatically by operation of the law (having triggered Article 50) with no withdrawal agreement in place. In that case the UK will immediately be treated as a third country in relation to the EU for all trading purposes, including for customs duties and VAT.
For imports, the VAT will have to be paid at the border before the goods can enter the UK. Similarly, your EU customers will have to pay VAT at the border when they buy goods from your company which is based in the UK.
Exporting is more complicated. For example, to ship goods into the EU your business will need an EORI number, and the commodity code for the goods. You may also need a special licence to move the goods, particularly for food or animal products, and tariffs may be imposed under world trade organisation (WTO) rules.
If all your overseas business is currently done with customers or suppliers in other EU countries, you will need to quickly get to grips with VAT on imports and exports and the customs procedures required. HMRC has recently written to businesses in your position, with advice on where to look for guidance on those issues. There are nine detailed Gorvernment guides on importing and exporting procedures that will come into force if there is no deal on the withdrawal from the EU which you can read here: https://tinyurl.com/NodealBRImEx

The student project was completed through a design/build course at the university as part of the Bower Studio, a program that works with indigenous communities to build the infrastructure. Over their fall semester, the students researched and interviewed the community to discuss their needs and wants. The small community of Wakuthuni, who are members of the GAC, asked to have the early childhood center because they wanted their young children (infants to age 5) to have the right start to their education.
Results of their research led the student team to design an open-air center using four shipping containers. Three of the four containers were shipped directly from Perth to the site, while the fourth container came from Melbourne packed with tools, the prefabricated window units and the over-arching roof. Students arrived in Wakuthuni on June 20th and spent the next 10 days hard at work placing the containers, building the deck and roof, and planting the landscape with native flora.
The architecture students worked closely with the education students to design a space to accommodate specific learning areas and to provide exactly what the community wanted. The project was more than just about design and construction, but also about listening and working with a client to produce a meaningful project. Now that the center is completed, the Department of Education is working with the community to develop a culturally appropriate childhood education program. The architecture department has plans to continue working with the GAC on sustainable housing and other humanitarian projects for the area.

United States District Court, D. Hawaii
March 11, 2016
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff,v.LARRY LEE, 02, Defendant. Crim. No. 12-00133 JMS 02
J. Michael Seabright Chief United States District Judge
Defendant Larry Lee ("Defendant") has filed a Motion for Release on Bail, Doc. No. 208 ("Motion for Bail"), pending the resolution of his claim under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 that his sentence is unconstitutional under Johnson v. United States, 135 S.Ct. 2551 (2015), and Descamps v. United States, 133 S.Ct. 2276 (2013). As announced at the March 7 and 11, 2016 hearings, the Motion for Bail is GRANTED. Furthermore, given Defendant's agreement at the March 7, 2016 hearing, the government's oral Motion to Stay the § 2255 Petition is GRANTED, pending decisions by the Supreme Court in Welch v. United States, No. 15-6418 (U.S.) (cert. granted Jan. 8, 2016) and Mathis v. United States, No. 15-6092 (U.S.) (cert. granted Jan. 19, 2016).
Defendant was convicted on November 16, 2012, for violations of 18 U.S.C. § 922(j) (possession of a stolen firearm); 18 U.S.C. § 641 (receiving stolen government property); and 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1) & 924(e) (felon in possession of a firearm subsequent to three convictions for violent felonies). Doc. Nos. 153, 174. Defendant's conviction was affirmed on direct appeal on November 10, 2014. Doc. No. 200.
Under the Armed Career Criminal Act ("ACCA"), if a defendant is convicted of a firearms offense and has three or more prior convictions for "a violent felony or a serious drug offense, or both, " the defendant is subject to a mandatory minimum fifteen-year sentence. 18 U.S.C. § 924(e)(1). A "violent felony" is defined for these purposes as follows:
(B) the term "violent felony" means any crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year, or any act of juvenile delinquency involving the use or carrying of a firearm, knife, or destructive device that would be punishable by imprisonment for such term if committed by an adult, that --
(i) has as an element the use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force against the person of another; or
(ii) is burglary, arson, or extortion, involves use of explosives, or otherwise involves conduct that presents a serious potential risk of physical injury to another[.]
18 U.S.C. § 924(e)(2). The first clause in § 924(e)(2)(B)(ii) ("is burglary, arson, or extortion, involves use of explosives") is often called the "enumerated offense clause." The other § 924(e)(2)(B)(ii) clause ("or otherwise involves conduct that presents a serious potential risk of physical injury to another") is referred to as the "residual clause."
Among Defendant's prior state-court convictions are multiple convictions for first-degree burglary under Hawaii Revised Statutes ("HRS") § 708-810. Doc. No. 180. Given those prior burglary convictions, the court sentenced Defendant on March 8, 2013 to a mandatory fifteen-year prison term under the ACCA. Doc. No. 174, Judgment at 3. When Defendant was sentenced, it did not matter for sentencing purposes whether Defendant's prior burglary convictions were "violent felonies" under the enumerated offense clause or the residual clause. The court and the parties generally understood or assumed that first degree burglary under HRS § 708-810 fit within one or the other clause when applying the general approach derived from Taylor v. United States, 495 U.S. 575 (1990), and Shepard v. United States, 544 U.S. 13 (2005). It was unnecessary for the parties to raise the issue, and the court made no specific finding as to which clause (or both) applied. On June 26, 2015, however, the Supreme Court issued Johnson, which invalidated the ACCA's residual clause as unconstitutionally vague. 135 S.Ct. at 2557-58.
Given Johnson, and applying the "modified categorical approach" as explained by the Supreme Court in 2013 in Descamps (which elaborated on the Taylor/Shepard methodology) and subsequent Ninth Circuit caselaw[2] to determine whether a prior crime qualifies under the ACCA, Defendant filed his § 2255 petition seeking re-sentencing. Doc. No. 205. The petition argues that absent the residual clause, a first-degree burglary conviction under HRS § 708-810 does not qualify as a burglary under the enumerated offense clause and is thus not a "violent felony" under the ACCA. See Doc. No. 207. If so, Defendant is not an "armed career criminal, " and is not subject to the fifteen-year mandatory minimum. The argument turns in part on whether Johnson applies retroactively to ACCA cases on collateral review -- that is, whether Johnson is a "substantive rule of constitutional law" such that courts are required to give retroactive effect to that rule in a properly-brought ACCA case on collateral review. See, e.g., Montgomery v. Louisiana, 136 S.Ct. 718, 729 (2016) (discussing Teague v. Lane, 489 U.S. 288 (1989)).
The Supreme Court is considering this exact retroactivity issue in Welch, which is scheduled for oral argument on March 30, 2016. And in Welch, the United States has taken the position that Johnson does indeed apply to ACCA cases on collateral review. See Brief for the United States, Welch v. United States, 2016 WL 537542, at *17 (U.S. Feb. 9, 2016) (No. 15-6418) ("Johnson applies to cases on collateral review because it is a substantive decision."). Further, in Mathis, the Supreme Court is also considering the methodology used to determine whether a prior conviction qualifies under the ACCA. Mathis is scheduled for oral argument on April 26, 2016. The Supreme Court's decisions in Welch ...

The Ruby Slippers
One of the most spectacular pair of glittering shoes stunned every richest personality when it was showed off at the "House of the Harry Winston". But its huge price and shocked all as was tagged to be at US $3 Million.
It was specially designed for one of the sequences of 'The Wizard of Oz' which hit cinemas globally in 1939. Experts are split on just how many pairs of Dorothy's shoes were made for production.
Some sources estimate that there were five pairs of the shoes made. While some support the theory that there were as many as 10 pairs of Dorothy's ravishing heels constructed for the pic.
So far, four pairs of the shoes have been unearthed and accounted for, but there are those who believe the world may yet locate another pair or two of the glittery foot gear before it's all said and done.
Given her recent (successful) foray into the acting business, it's probably not too surprising that pop singer-turned-thespian Lady Gaga has an affinity for the more precious things from Tinseltown.
In 2005, a thief made off with one of the pairs of Wizard of Oz slippers that were housed in a Minnesota museum, on loan from a collector named Michael Shaw.
Some speculated that the thief may have thrown the shoes into a local river after the theft out of fear of the consequences of being caught because they were still never recovered.
Could a pair of priceless slippers really bring some magic into to a mundane life? Would an unexpected windfall bring a hope of happiness? Lives are changed, relationships tested and real values challenged.
But in the hunger to possess the prize, will anyone stop to learn the incredible story of the woman to whom they once belonged? The Ruby Slippers is a rare and moving story about the search for meaning, and the meaning of value.
By the way
You know, that you can buy these awesome shoes on your trip to Bond Street in London – home to some of the most expensive retail space in the world.
Whether you want to splash out on the very best in designer clothes or just love luxury window shopping, Bond Street and Mayfair are the ideal places to go for some extravagant retail therapy.

Something a bit different from our normal urban stuff, although still within the Edinburgh area. Three friendly horses in a field at Riccarton, although the friendliness was all about potential food. They were deeply disappointed when all I got out of my bag was a lens, as some of these shots show.

Sneak peek: The 5 rarest games during Portland's new Quarterworld arcade
There are a lot of games during Quarterworld, Portland's newest jam-packed pinball and arcade diversion paradise.
How many, exactly? Counting is a challenge, for each time we get past 15 or so, some adorned striking or heated sound outcome takes your courtesy away. Their complexity ranges from a elementary shade in Asteroids to a immersive, seat-moving tank conflict of Panzer Elite Action.
There are classics like Donkey Kong (even if it's been modified to play as Pauline saving Mario) and complicated arcade musts like Big Buck Hunter.
Then, of course, there are a obscure. The kind of games no layperson would ever dream existed.
So forward of Quarterworld's grand opening 3 p.m. Friday, Apr 8, The Oregonian/OregonLive asked Quarterworld's Director of Operations Logan Bowden to indicate out some of a rarest games in a room. All incited out to be must-plays, though here are 5 standouts to demeanour for.
Ninja Baseball Bat Man: A side-scrolling beat-'em-up diversion that feels a bit like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, solely we play as ninja ball players fighting humanoid sporting equipment.
Toobin': A video arcade's answer to a summer day on a Clackamas River. Race your middle tube down stream, holding caring to evasion fishermen and throwing drink cans to delayed your opponent.
Black Hole: An über-challenging, two-tiered pinball diversion set in low space. Probably also named for a ability to make buliding disappear.
Demolition Derby: This four-player chronicle of a renouned cocktail list diversion lets we drive your automobile into everybody else's. It's kind of like video fender cars, though we remove tools and blow out your engine via a round.
Granny The Gators: Another rare, river-based find that's a video diversion and pinball diversion in one. Paddle Granny down a jungle river, dodging arrows and inspired gators, afterwards burst into pinball mode for additional points and power-ups.

With opinions flying over stem cell and regenerative medicine, the opposition and the government have differing views over the purchase of a Magnetic Resonance Imaging machine.
Dr. Denzil Douglas, former Prime Minister and current leader of the Parliamentary Opposition, says an MRI machine was purchased for a proposed stem cell project under his administration to benefit the public. However, Dr. Douglas claims the machine is presently sitting in Miami waiting for shipment to the Federation. He also says the present administration is stalling on the project.
The current Prime Minister Dr. Timothy Harris disagrees with Dr. Douglas. He claims he knows nothing about an MRI machine and called the former Prime Minister's claims rubbish.
On Wednesday, Jul6 6, Dr. Terrance Drew, deputy chairperson for the St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party, said the government should have an MRI machine of its own and not subject patients to continue to be tested on a facility used to carry out research on monkeys.
According to Dr. Drew, the machine is located at the St. Kitts Biometric Medical Center and is being used to experiment on monkeys as well as for human beings. At his press conference earlier this month, the Prime Minister revealed that over 100 people had been serviced by the machine. That does not sit well with Dr. Drew who has been embroiled in controversy with the government.
He sways to his knowledge the Federation is the only place in the Western Hemisphere where people are using the same machine as primates and added on those grounds he totally opposes using the MRI machine at the monkey facility.
Continuing his argument, he said he was privy to a document that patients of the institution would receive and that it states if an animal uses an MRI machine, it is cleaned with 10 percent bleach. He added, "I cannot agree that human beings would have to be subjected to that." He also said there is only one MRI machine on the island and that his party fully supports a modern machine that patients don't have to share with monkeys.

Ironic, right?
After telling you guys how much I love prints and colour, I come back with a post on my current favourites items in black. Black goes with EVERYTHING, obvs.
I thought that maybe I'd post because I sorta 'promised' you guys more outfit photos but I'll go ahead and confess that I haven't taken any. I've been feeling all introverted lately and spending some 'alone time'. Much needed by the way. So anyway, I figured that I'd tell you guys about my current favourite fashion (and go-to) items. Guys, it's a love affair I tell you. Everytime I purchase a fashion item I tell myself that I'll rotate the stuff I wear but that usually ends up with me repeating the same thing over and over with different outfits (also because they go with almost everything I wear). Check them out…
Ankle Boots – New Look (they debuted here)
These boots have been worn every other day since I got them! Okay, not every other day but I'm totally in love with them. They fit well and didn't hurt even when breaking them in. I have big, flat and wide feet (sigh), so sometimes it's such a hassle getting the right fit for heels (a reason why I don't buy shoes without trying them on first). Well, these boots are not too high and they are perfect for practising to walk in heels as well. I love them! Really thinking of getting another black -maybe brown as well- pair. You know, just to stock up (read: hoarding).
Another favourite: the oversize clutch
Okay, I'll go ahead and say this picture doesn't do this clutch justice. Someone pray for my photography skills please. Anyway, I got this clutch on a random Friday night while I was out
sort of window shopping for a friend. I went to Carnaby Street and stopped by Monki and found this clutch in the sale section for £5! The obvious thing to do was get it, duh. I've worn this clutch to drinks, lunch/dinner plans, movies, the list goes on and on.
Last but not least: the black structured bag
Confession: I haven't worn this bag anywhere yet, BUT, it's already a favourite. I've been searching for the perfect minimal black structured bag for the longest time and when I saw this one, I knew I had to get it before it sold out. Saw it first on Boxing Day at the H&M at Oxford Circus then went back a week later and there was not even one bag in site *wails*. So I checked online and it was in stock so I bought it (yay to free shipping and discount codes!). However, it took about 3 weeks to arrive but when it did, it was definitely worth the wait! I know the day I start wearing this bag I might wear it out too soon.
What are your current favourites?
Have a great week ahead!
Follow me on Instagram (@amogere) too, I post some OOTDs on there as well. 🙂

Starring Ralph Fiennes, Gerard Butler and Brain Cox
Coriolanus is a film adaptation of William Shakespeare's tragedy which goes by the same title. Its basically a centuries old tale which is retold in a modern setting of a ficticious geopolitical Roman Empire. Our main character, Coriolanus (Ralph Fiennes), is a hero of Rome and the states greatest and most feared military warrior. Although praised for his efforts in combat, he has a poor reputation amung the citizens, they dont like or trust him and he feels the same about everyone else. Eventually his extreme views ignite mass rioting in the streets. Manipulated and out-maneuvered by politicians and even his own mother Volumnia (played by Vanessa Redgrave), Coriolanus is eventually banished from Rome. Soon thereafter he offers his services to his sworn enemy Tullus Aufidius (Gerard Butler), as he vows vengeance against the state which betrayed him. At Tullus' side they quickly march towards Rome as Roman politicains scramble in an attempt to stop the eventual toppling of their empire by their own ex-patriot.
If you are a fan of William Shakespeare's works, I dont see why you wouldnt enjoy this modern twist on the story. The acting is solid all the way around and Ralf Fiennes should be commended on his directing and acting in the lead role. The story stays very true to its roots, but at times that seemed to be a bit of a hinderance, trying to meld centuries old politics with a modern day political landscape often came across as a bit unrealistic.
It is a great classic story, but personally I found it a bit difficult to keep up with at times. All the dialog is in old world English, and if you are like me and are not all that familiar with or accustomed to hearing people speak in that particular style of the dialect it can be a daunting task just understanding the simplest of sentences. And when the actors would go into long monologues (which happened quite frequently), for me it felt like I was listening to Hebrew or Latin....nothing like culture to make a hillbilly feel like a fucking dumb ass. After about 20 minutes I decided to just ignore the dialogs and focus on the visuals of the story. And there was enough there to keep even somebody like me from getting completely lost. The actors did such a great job conveying their emotional states that you really didnt need to understand everything they were saying to know what they were feeling. And thank Christ for that, otherwise I would have been a goner.
This isn't going to be a movie that everyone will love. By modern film making standards, it's pretty straightforward, without the twists and turns and surprise endings we have become accustomed to in modern movie making. But it's still a good story with solid performances, so I guess if you're the kind of person who reads William Shakespeare for fun, then this is definitely gonna be your kind of movie.

Thank you to our grounds and garden clean-up crew!
December 16, 2013 Leave a comment
'Leaf it' to the Beach community to shine once again. 36 intrepid souls braved the frigid temps last Sunday to help rake, prune, plant and mulch the grounds of Egbert W. Beach, and it looks amazing! Big thanks to Anne Hauss and John Gibbs for their stewardship of the garden and grounds – these jewels of our environment – and to all the others that brought their rakes and snacks and green thumbs to help out. Timed perfectly after the recent storms denuded Lake Street trees of all but their most stubborn leaves, rakers of all ages filled many bags, mulchers emptied many bags, and new plantings went in near the lunch and main stairwell areas on the north side of the school. This biannual cleanup should keep the school looking tidy through the winter and into the spring when we'll have another event for those that missed the fun this time. Special thank you to Pedro who had the school in pretty darn good shape to begin with!

Diabetes may cause diabetic neuropathy and microangiopathy – i.e. damage to the minor arteries that supply oxygen and nutrients to the lower extremity tissues – so-called diabetic foot develops.
In case diabetes is managed insufficiently and diabetic polyneuropathy advances, acid metabolites accumulate in the tissues, leading to further progression of the disease. Trophic changes may result in venous ulcers and extremity amputation.
Read the results of the following clinical studies that demonstrate the success rate of low-frequency pulsed magnetic therapy in treatment of this condition.

This month features an interview with Katherine Albro Houpt, VMD, PhD, DACVB, a leader in the field of veterinary behavior and author of the chapter "Creating a Mensa Dog" from "Decoding Your Dog," a new book by the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists on dog behavior.
(Originally published July 2014)
Can you tell us how you decided to become a veterinary behaviorist?
Dr. Houpt: I became interested in domestic animal behavior as a student at Penn State University. The professor of animal behavior advised me: 'Go to veterinary school because then you can do anything you want to do.' That was good advice and after my first year at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine I spent a summer with J.P. Scott and J. Fuller, who studied breed differences in dog behavior at Jackson Laboratory, an independent laboratory in Bar Harbor, Me.
Can you teach an old dog new tricks?
Dr. Houpt: Yes. Even old dogs can learn new tricks, although some old dogs suffer from cognitive dysfunction and may not be able to master as complex a task as older dogs. Nevertheless, you should probably keep teaching your older dogs new skills because that is a form of enrichment for them. All too often we tend to ignore the older dog because he does not demand our attention and beg as much for walks and play. Teaching him a new trick like holding up his paw or going to a certain rug will give him the attention, treats and petting he needs.
Is the learning curve for a mixed-breed dog harder to pinpoint than that for a purebred dog?
Dr. Houpt: That is a generalization that should not be made for two reasons: (1) It depends on the mix of breeds. For example, a border collie mix will probably have a higher learning curve – that is learn more quickly – than a purebred basset hound; (2) The curve probably depends on the skill of the instructor more than on the genes of the dog. In some cases you might get hybrid vigor, meaning that the mixed-breed dog is smarter than dogs of the parental breeds. More important is the early life of the dog.
To better understand your mixed-breed puppy and its learning capabilities, do you recommend getting a DNA test run?
Dr. Houpt: No. Save your money for hiring an excellent trainer. Group training classes help not only to teach the dog how to sit, stay, down and heel, but also socialize him to other dogs and people. It will be easier to teach a Labrador to fetch than a Maltese, and it will be easier to teach a Newfoundland to swim than a border collie, but how the different breeds that may be represented in one pet will affect his response to training is unknown. In fact, a purebred isolated in a kennel may find it harder to learn than the mixed-breed puppy born and raised in the more social environment of the kitchen.
Are wolves smarter than dogs?
Dr. Houpt: It depends on the task. Wolves are better at problem solving. Dogs are better at asking for help. For example, a wolf may try to get past a barrier by tearing at it with tooth and claw, but the dog, after a few cursory attempts, will look at its owner for help. This is a phenomenon that apparently accompanies domestication because puppies will look at humans for help on their first exposure to people. When foxes were selected for friendly behavior to humans they also began to look to a human to help solve a problem.
What's the difference between negative reinforcement and punishment?
Dr. Houpt: Negative reinforcement increases the frequency of a behavior. Punishment decreases the frequency of a behavior. The dog has to do something before punishment occurs. He barks and his collar delivers a spray of air or citronella. He should bark less. You have to do something unpleasant to the animal as a negative reinforcement — to stop the unpleasant thing the dog has to do something. For example, you pull on the leash and the dog walks toward you, thus releasing the pressure on the leash. He should walk toward you sooner to avoid the pull on his collar. Negative reinforcement is not a fancy word for punishment.
What are the most important factors to remember when several family members are involved in the training of a dog?
Dr. Houpt: Uniformity and consistency top the list. If one person in the household says 'Please sit down' and another simply orders 'Sit,' the dog will be confused. It will be even worse if the husband orders 'Down' when he wants the dog to refrain from jumping on him and the wife says 'Down' when she wants it to lie on the floor. All family members need to participate in training. One-word commands are best, and since most people say 'Lay Down' when they should say 'Lie Down' a one-word command is more grammatical, too.
What is the most challenging of the basic commands for a dog to learn?
Dr. Houpt: Come is the most challenging command. Come is the most critical command to prevent problems — and even to save his life. Most dogs will come, especially at meal time, if there are no distractions. But the occasion when you really want the dog to come is when he is chasing a rabbit or when he is headed toward a busy road. Unfortunately, many people make the mistake of shouting to the dog or even worse, punishing it when it returns. Owners should practice come inside and out with and without distractions until the dog is perfect at off-leash recall.
What are the best environments in which to train your dog – and why?
Dr. Houpt: The best environment for training is a puppy class where there is no aggression between dogs as there might be in a class of adult dogs. That's when the puppy's brain is ready to absorb many new things. The next best choice is a quiet site with no distractions — other pets, human conversation or blaring TV. When he is perfect in those surroundings at Sit and Stay, begin to add distractions, since your goal is to have a dog that is under control at all times and is happy because he knows good things will result if he does what he is told.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Dr. Houpt: Sit! Stay! Down! Look! Heel!

Wednesday, May 31, 2017/Categories: Governor's Office/Tags:
Governor Steve Bullock and members of the Montana Broadcaster's Association (MBA) today launched a new media campaign of TV and radio public service announcements that focus on raising awareness about suicide prevention in Montana.
"To move the needle regarding suicide in our state, it is going to take all of us doing our part and pulling together to make a difference," said Governor Bullock. "The Montana Broadcaster's Association is providing Montana with a gift we can all truly be grateful for to help raise awareness about suicide prevention in Montana. These are timely and critical messages that will draw attention to an issue we all care so deeply about."
MBA Board Chair Jon Saunders said its members have been heartbroken by the impact suicide is having on Montana families, and decided the time is now to do something about it. "We are so proud to partner with the State of Montana on this important project," Saunders said. "By working together, I believe this effort will make a positive difference in our state."
The new Prevent Suicide Montana ads will begin airing statewide immediately. MBA, along with creative talent from the Montana Television Network and the Montana Radio Company, offered to produce and air the PSAs for one year. The total estimated value for production and air time is well over $200,000, when combined with additional donated radio air time from the Montana Radio Company.
The MBA is an organization made up of 155 TV and radio stations across Montana. The spots will be made available immediately to all MBA members to begin airing. They are being aired under a program called the Non-Commercial Sustaining Announcement Program. NCSA is a 20-year-old program that has been made available to non-profits and state agencies. Saunders said MBA waived their usual charge because of their commitment and priority to partner with the state on this campaign.
The organizations worked jointly with Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) officials to create the ad contents. The ads focus on four main areas, including safe storage of firearms for those at the highest risk with access to lethal means (males age 35-64), recognizing the signs of suicide, Veterans and youth.
Suicide continues to be a major public health issue in the state. Montana has been at or near the top in the nation for the rate of suicide for nearly four decades. From January 2014 to March 2016, there were 555 suicides in Montana. Currently, Montana has the third highest suicide rate in the nation.
The common theme in all four ads urge Montanans to speak up and reach out to an individual who is exhibiting signs of suicide. The ads state: 'The only wrong thing to say, is to say nothing at all.'
In addition, all the messages highlight help that is available including the Crisis Text Line and Suicide Prevention Lifeline. The Text Line can be accessed by texting MT to 741-741. It offers 24/7 access to crisis counselors through a familiar format, especially appealing to youth: text message.
For calendar year 2016 through March 2017, nearly 300 Montanans reached out for help through the Text Line. In addition, there have been 5 'active rescues' during this time. An 'active rescue' means an individual who is threatening to commit suicide or serious harm to themselves.
The Montana Suicide Prevention Lifeline provides another option and is available 24/7 for people in crisis to call at 1-800-273-TALK. Veterans are urged to call this number and by pressing '1' will be routed to the Veterans Suicide Prevention Hotline. On average about 3,300 Montanans call the Lifeline each year.
Dr. Eric Arzubi, Chair of Psychiatry at Billings Clinic, said the new PSAs deliver the important message that it's OK to talk about suicide. "The less we talk about this problem, the more it will grow," he said. "Stigma, shame and avoidance fuel this crisis. Too often, we don't want to hear that someone is suicidal, because we may feel uncomfortable or anxious about how to help. Our own discomfort should not get in the way of extending a lifeline to someone in crisis."
Matt Kuntz of NAMI-MT stresses it's important for Montanans to learn the signs of suicide and understand that mental illness is a major contributing factor to Montana's high suicide rate. "It's so important that we not only become familiar with the signs of suicide, but also that we take action and help those who may not be able to help themselves."
Kuntz also stressed that the Lifeline and Text Line can be used as a resource for friends and family who may have a loved one struggling with suicidal thoughts. "By reaching out themselves, they can receive specific guidance on how to help a loved one," he said. "These resources can help Montanans understand when to intervene and that there's guidance available from counselors to make sure the intervention is done in the best way possible."
For more information about suicide prevention in Montana go to http://dphhs.mt.gov/amdd/Suicide.
The new TV and radio ads can be accessed at http://dphhs.mt.gov/suicideprevention
The message: It's vital that Montanans learn the signs of suicide, including depression, alcohol abuse, isolation, and giving away possessions.
The message: Access to lethal means is a huge factor for this age group. This ad states: 'If a loved one is depressed, ask to temporarily store guns away from home.'
Also, DPHHS actively promotes the importance of using gun locks.
The message: This ad reaches out to Veterans.
The message: This ad urges youth to reach out to their friends and offer help to those who are showing signs of suicide.
Statistics: In Montana, between 2005 and 2014, suicide was the number two cause of death for young people, behind only unintentional injuries. Access to lethal means is a major issue with youth as well. 63% of youth suicides in Montana are with firearms, which is triple the national rate.

In order to make an impact on the daily operations of your store, you have to go big, right? Nope! Even making some small tweaks can yield serious results, and one of the best areas to concentrate on is how your team functions. We've selected a few simple tips to make the process as easy as possible for the following excerpt, but be sure to also read the original post from Small Biz Trends as well).
Set and Review Goals Daily or Weekly
Without goals, it's all too easy to drift along and never change anything. Establish a few goals for your personal productivity, and then establish a few goals for your departments and managers. Start with simple goals. Your personal productivity goal could be "Get to work by 7:30 am each day." Or a goal for a department might be: "Cut one day out of the shipping cycle." To stay on track, review goals regularly — at least weekly.
Establish Teams to Solve Problems
As the owner/manager of the business, you don't have to do everything. In fact, you can't do everything. Get in the habit of establishing teams to come up with ideas. Make continuous improvement everyone's job.
Find Fun Solutions
Encourage team members to get in the habit of finding fun solutions. Fun solutions get employees and teams engaged — that's the real power of fun.
Reassure People It's About Fixing the Process, Not Fixing Them
When you bring up change, some employees will have fear — fear that their jobs may go away. Or they fear that process improvement is really a ploy to identify poor-performing employees.
Process improvement can actually help employees perform better and feel good about their jobs. Emphasize that it's about fixing the process — and that by doing so you are respecting them as employees and helping them.
Celebrate the Wins
Celebrate "wins." It's so motivating when people see that the things they do make all the difference.
Publicly congratulate someone for accomplishing a new milestone. Throw a party when a major efficiency breakthrough happens. Put up a whiteboard to show progress toward goals. Or follow a time honored technique, and get a large glass jar and place a marble in it each time something good happens. Before you know it, the jar will fill up and become a visual reminder of your team's accomplishments.

Moving into a new house
Neighborhood view in The Sims 2.
There are many ways in The Sims series that Sims could move into houses. Here is a list of a few ways.
The SimsEdit
- While in the neighborhood view, click the bulldozer icon in the button bar at the top of the screen. The cursor will change shape, and become a bulldozer.
- When the bulldozer icon is pointed at an occupied house, the message "Click to evict this family" will appear under the headshots of the family members. Clicking on the house will place the family in the Family bin. Build mode objects will remain, but all other objects will be sold for their current value.
- After the family has been evicted, the player will be asked whether or not to bulldoze the lot.
- Click on the bulldozer button to exit evict/bulldoze mode.
- Click the family icon in the button bar to go to the Family bin, then select the family and place it in an unoccupied house or on a vacant lot.
The Sims 2Edit
There are two ways to move a family from their existing home.
- From the neighborhood view
- Open the Family Bin.
- Click on the "Move family" button.
- Click on an occupied house.
- When asked if you want to move the family to the Family Bin, say "Yes".
- While playing the family
- Click on the newspaper or a computer.
- Select "Find Own Place."
- Move the whole family with the active Sim.
- The Sims will be shown getting into a taxi and driving off.
- Go back to the neighborhood.
- "Find Own Place" does not work if there is only one Sim in the family. The option will still appear, but using it will generate a message saying to use the "Move family" tool in the neighborhood view.
In either case, the family will be in the Family Bin, and can be moved into another home.
Build mode objects will remain. Outside of college sub-neighborhoods, all other objects will be sold for their current value unless they have been manually placed in a Sim's inventory. Within college sub-neighborhoods, all objects that have not been placed in a Sim's inventory will remain, even in a rented house.
Beginning with University, the family can also be moved into an occupied lot, as long as the household occupying that lot has enough space for the number of Sims and pets in the family being merged into it..
The Sims 3Edit
With Patch 1.55, Sims can now move to new neighborhoods, such as moving from Riverview to Bridgeport.
- To move an active household's Sims and all their possessions into a new, unoccupied house in the neighborhood
- The house that the player wants to move to must be unoccupied (no family name or house icon over it in Map view).
- In the active household, the player must click a phone or computer and choose Move..., and choose Within this Neighborhood. This brings up the Move dialog.
- In the right-hand "pane" of the dialog, one must click the House button at the bottom and select the desired house by clicking its icon on the Move Map view that appears.
- The option (in the left pane representing the active household) to either pack up all of the current house belongings or to sell them all must be clicked next. (The contents of the fridge will not be moved.)
- Click the checkmark to complete the transaction.
- Once the Sims are at their new home, build mode is selected.
- With the sledgehammer, unwanted furniture/objects are removed.
- Along the middle between the tools puck and the graphics of different objects to buy/place are three "tabs" aligned vertically. The bottom one is clicked: "Family Inventory". All the stuff packed up from the old house is there ready to be placed in the new home.
Sometimes you may receive a challenge when moving in to a new house.
- To move an active household's Sims and all their possessions into a new, unoccupied house in a new neighborhood (requires Patch 1.55)
- In the active household, the player must click a phone or computer and choose Move..., and choose To new Town. This brings up the Select Town dialog.
- Select the new world you want your Sims to move to. You can only choose worlds that are already installed - you can't purchase new worlds in this dialog. Click 'accept' when you're happy with the town you want to move to.
- You will receive a notice stating that your family will remove all normal wishes, opportunities and relationships with Sims outside the household. There, you have the option to turn back by clicking 'no'.
- After clicking 'yes', you'll be prompted to save or not save right before moving into the new town.
- Afterwards, the Sim that bought the ticket to the new town will have the action 'Moving To New Town' in their action queue; it has no icon. The rest of the household will have the 'Meet Up' action in their queue. The household will go to the nearest road and will call a taxi, which the entire household will ride. If a household has more than 3 members, multiple taxis may be called. Afterwards, the taxi will drive them to a random place, and afterwards, the household will leave the taxi and the new neighborhood will begin to load.
- The new lot-selection screen will appear, and the household will now have the funds noted in the 'Worth' section in the neighborhood selection screen.
The Sims 4Edit
There are two ways to move a household from their existing home.
Option 1Edit
- Click on the phone icon.
- Click on the car.
- Press 'Move Household'
- Choose where you want to live!
Option 2 Edit
- Click on the "Manage Worlds" icon in the top right hand corner.
- Click either "Save and go to Manage Worlds" or "Just go to Manage Worlds".
- Click on the household you want to move.
- Click on the "more" button in the bottom right corner.
- Choose the "Move household" option.
- Choose where you want to live!
This option is good if you want to move a household quickly without playing it first.

Kate Looked Great. BUT, Don't Expect to Look "Facebook Ready" One Day After Childbirth!
Physical Therapist and author, Marianne Ryan explains why it takes time to regain your pre-pregnancy figure and why you should not expect to be "Facebook ready" a day after birth.
Even though Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, looked great when she stepped out of the hospital only 10 hours after delivering her daughter, IT'S NOT THE NORM!
After the excitement of childbirth, first-time moms are often shocked to discover that their bodies don't automatically snap back into shape immediately after their baby is born. The first thing I remember after I got home with my new baby was looking sideways in a mirror and gasping…I still looked pregnant! Was I ever going to see a flat tummy again!?! Wow, how unfair! How come I saw celebrities looking like hot babes shortly after giving birth?
Expecting yourself to be "red-carpet ready" soon after delivering your baby is unrealistic, even for most celebrities.
It will take time for your belly to shrink no matter who you are. Realistically, it takes at least a month for your body to start to get itself back together, usually longer for most women. Right after birth your body is left with a lot of excess fluid that can take a week or two to lose and it can take a full month for your uterus to shrink back down to its pre-pregnancy size. So don't put yourself under the pressure to be "Facebook ready" right after you deliver your baby – it's just not going to happen and you have far more important things to worry about! So do your self a favor, and don't even try to put on your old jeans, wait.
Steer Clear of the Scale!
Whatever you do, don't even think of stepping on that scale for at least thirty days after you deliver your baby. I remember breaking down into tears after I weighed myself three days after I delivered my first daughter. I only lost a few pounds! How can that be? She weighed 8 ½ pounds and the placenta and amniotic fluid weighed about 3 or 4 pounds, so I should be at least 12 pounds less, right?
Here is why: Right after giving birth, your body is still going through hormonal changes. The amount of fluid your body retains can fluctuate hourly, especially if you are nursing. It takes a few weeks for your body to lose the excess fluid you build up during your pregnancy and for your uterus to return to normal size. So, as much fun as it may seem to find out how much you weigh, don't do it; it can drive you crazy.
Most women want to get back into pre-pregnancy shape immediately after childbirth, but it is important to make a slow return to full activity. In my book, Baby Bod®, I explain the effects of pregnancy on the body, offer many more tips, and advise on the best way to get back into shape after having a baby. There is more detailed advice in Chapter 8 for moms who had a vaginal delivery while Chapter 9 gives advice to moms who had a C-section.
