Udemy – How I Made My first $1,000 Freelancing [100% off]
Posted on 23/05/2015 by admin | 0 comments
Course Description
In Late 2011, I realized that if I stayed at my dead end restaurant job one more day, I was probably going to hang myself from the charming, antique oak rafters of the God-forsaken steakhouse.
Not to be grim — but that's simply how I felt.
All viable options at one point…
I wasn't in any serious danger of hurting myself (you don't need to email me…really). But I was EXTREMELY fed up.
I was so TIRED with being limited to a meager paycheck when everything I wanted to do with my life required two things I didn't have:
- More free time
- A lot more money
Now remember, this was 2011 and I'd just seen The Social Network. I was pretty juiced up, imagining that if I just had "the perfect idea"…or could somehow re-do everything and go to Harvard…I could be the next Zuckerberg and finally create something I loved that actually made money.
So I did a lot of meditating. And deep thinking. And agonizing. I was looking for that million-dollar idea. I prayed to a few different gods.
I even went to a psychic to help pull it out of me.
(Serious. Like…not a joke. I was looking for a screenshot of the receipt to show you, but my bank account won't go back that far.)
3 months later, I was still at the restaurant begrudgingly scooping butter balls into plastic ramekins for pre-diabetics who shouldn't have been eating that food anyway…when it hit me….
"I don't need to come up with a new idea. I can just do something I'm ALREADY good at."
It sounds like a shallow, obvious realization…but at the time, it was like it was like Harry Potter walked into my brain and turned the mother f***ing switch on.
If you don't get the reference, you're lamer than I am for making it
Fast forward to one year later and I'd started not one…but TWO profitable freelance businesses — a college admissions prep firm (offline) and a web design company (online).
Each generated THOUSANDS of dollars every month, while allowing me the freedom to schedule my life how I wanted. The restaurant was a distant memory.
Make Your First $1,000 Freelancing will teach you how to come up with a profitable idea, find high-paying clients and make steady, predictable income — even if you've never started a business before. You can use the in-depth strategies in this course to stack up money on the side…or even quit your job.

Vegenaise never fails to help reproduce the tastes of childhood in middle America. This is basically tuna salad but with mashed chickpeas instead of tuna. You could try harder to make it taste fishy (as I did with this tempeh "tuna"), but really the effect is about all the other ingredients. I used minced scallions, celery, carrots, and pickles, along with the chickpeas and the vegenaise, plus mustard, salt, and black pepper. I was amazed by how easy and delicious it was.
I'm also thinking that if you want to avoid vegenaise you try using this cashew "yogurt" that worked so great in another savory dish.

John Pitseys at Bilkent
Dr. John Pitseys from the Universite Catolique de Louvain
will give a talk on "Deliberation and Procedural Pluralism."
The talk will take place in G160, Tuesday Dec. 4, at 15.40.
Talk at Bogazici: Thomas Metzinger (Mainz) on "Body Representation and Self-Consciousness: From Embodiment to Minimal Phenomenal Selfhood" 04/12/2012
Thomas Metzinger (Mainz) will give a talk at Bogazici on Tuesday, December 4th, from 5-7pm in TB130:
"Body Representation and Self-Consciousness:
From Embodiment to Minimal Phenomenal Selfhood."
ABSTRACT: As a philosopher, I am interested in the relationship between body representation and the deep structure of self-consciousness. My epistemic goal in this lecture will be the simplest form of phenomenal self-consciousness: What exactly are the essential non-conceptual, pre-reflexive layers in conscious self-representation? What constitutes a minimal phenomenal self? Conceptually, I will defend the claim that agency is not part of the metaphysically necessary supervenience-basis for bodily self-consciousness. Empirically, I will draw on recent research focusing on out-of-body experiences (OBEs) and full-body illusions (FBIs). I will then proceed to sketch a new research program and advertise a new research target: "Minimal Phenomenal Selfhood", ending with an informal argument for the thesis that agency or "global control", phenomenologically as well as functionally, is not a necessary condition for self-consciousness.
Thomas Metzinger is a leading contemporary German philosopher. He has been active since the early 1990s in the promotion of consciousness studies as an academic endeavour. As a co-founder, he has been particularly active in the organization of the Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness (ASSC), and sat on the board of directors of that organisation from 1995 to 2008. He served as president of the ASSC in 2009/10. Metzinger is director of the MIND group and has been president of the German cognitive science society from 2005 to 2007. In 2003 Metzinger published the monograph Being No One. In this book he argues that no such things as selves exist in the world: nobody ever had or was a self. All that exists are phenomenal selves, as they appear in conscious experience. He argues that the phenomenal self, however, is not a thing but an ongoing process; it is the content of a "transparent self-model." In 2009 Metzinger published a follow-up book to Being No One for a general audience: The Ego Tunnel. In English he has also published two edited works, Conscious Experience (1995), and Neural correlates of consciousness: empirical and conceptual issues (2000).
Manuel Knoll's Talk at Fatih University on John Rawls's Theory of justice
Prof. Manuel Knoll of Fatih Üniversitesi will give a seminar talk at Fatih University, hosted by Fatih Üniversitesi İdeal Gençlik Kulübü.
The title of Manuel's talk is
John Rawls' Theory of Justice – a critical introduction
Date: Tuesday, 27 November 2012
Time: 1-2 pm
Room: Evliya Çelebi Seminar Hall (M-229)
John Rawls's Theory of Justice is a work of political philosophy and ethics. It was originally published in 1971 and revised in both 1975 (for the translated editions) and 1999. In A Theory of Justice, Rawls attempts to solve the problem of distributive justice (the just distribution of goods in a society) by utilising a variant of the familiar device of the social contract. The resultant theory is known as "Justice as Fairness", from which Rawls derives his two principles of justice: the liberty principle and the difference principle
In 2000 he earned a PhD in Philosophy, Political Science and History from the University of Munich. Since 1998 he has been lecturing at the University of Munich and at the Munich School of Political Science.
In 2008 he achieved his habilitation and venia legendi in Political Theory and Philosophy. In 2011 he became a Professor of Philosophy at Fatih University, Istanbul.

Tim Williamson at Bogazici (07/12/2012)
Tim Williamson (Oxford) will be giving a talk at Bogazici on Friday December 7th, in TB130 from 5-7pm. The title of his talk is:
"Logics as Scientific Theories"
Tim Williamson is the Wykeham Professor of Logic at Oxford, and is perhaps the most influential philosopher currently working in the UK. In addition to his talk on Friday, Tim will also be visiting my graduate seminar on Thursday.
ABSTRACT: Logic is often regarded as a neutral arbiter between substantive theories in science and metaphysics. Neutrality is also invoked as a criterion for deciding whether to count a truth as a logical truth. The lecture will argue that logic is much more like other branches of science than such a view allows. An alternative will be developed based on Tarski's account of logical consequence. In particular, an abductive methodology will be explained for assessing proposals to revise logic; it uses standard criteria for scientific theory choice.

Two (English Language) Philosophy positions at METU
There are also two openings that have been advertised at the Middle East Technical University (METU) in Ankara. This is one of the leading state universities in Turkey and teaches exclusively in English. They already have a strong philosophy department, with well-established MA and Phd programs.
One position is for Social and political philosophy (including critical theory) OR in the philosophy of physics, philosophy of logic and/or mathematics.
The other position is in Ancient and medieval philosophy
Positions in Kırklareli
I've just heard of some junior positions going in Kırklareli.
Applicants need not have completed their Phds to apply. However, if they have, the start time will be very soon (possibly in February).
Please pass this on to anyone who might be interested.
Here is the advert:

Consider a claim about some subject matter. How do we know that this statement actually is a claim, that it actually asserts something about the subject matter? This may seem like a pointless question, after all don't we just know, upon seeing a claim, that it is a claim? But the point of this investigation is not to determine what is and isn't a claim in perfectly precise terms, the point is to explore how claims work, how they are connected to their subject matter, which in turn will limit the kinds of claims that we can make if we want to actually assert something.
Obviously what makes a statement a claim that manages to actually assert something about its subject matter is not something that results from its form. When considering animals, for example, if I assert that all X are Y in the absence of some definition being given to X and Y in this context I fall to actually assert something about animals. And this failure to assert does not stem from the fact that X and Y are undefined. We could easily provide definitions for these two terms, such as X is the cause of Z and Y is the mirror image of Z, and these definitions do not help the claim assert anything about animals, despite the fact that the terms are now all defined.
What is missing in this absurd example is any kind of connection between the claim and the subject matter itself. It's not clear what X and Y indicate about animals. X and Y need to be such that they have some implications for the subject matter. In more technical terms we could say that what is also required is for us to be working under some rules for reference that allow us to put statements involving X and Y into a kind of correspondence or equivalence with the subject matter itself, meaning that such statements reflect a way that the subject matter could be. But now we face a new problem, constructing the rules for reference. We don't have direct access of any kind to the subject matter (despite the fact that we often think of ourselves as having this kind of access), and it doesn't look like we can construct a set of rules for reference without such access.
To overcome this problem we must first recognize that rules for reference can be constructed out of other rules for reference. For example, if we already had F and G and rules for reference that put F and G in kind of correspondence with certain properties of the subject matter then we could define H in terms of F and G (for example, by asserting that H is the case when either F is the case or when G is the case). This creates a rule for reference that connects H with F and G. And since F and G are connected by rules for reference to the subject matter there thus exists a compound rule for reference that connects H to the subject matter. Thus all we need is some primitive rules for reference connecting some conceptual formalisms to our subject matter and then we will be able to assert things about that subject matter. If we are to uncover such primitive rules for reference I think we need to consult the means by which we have (indirect) access to the subject matter in the first place, experience. I hold experience to be our only means of access to any kind of subject matter simply because I cannot conceive of a way to have access to anything without it. Even if we suppose that our subject matter is something that we have direct intellectual access to (such as the world of forms) the only way to gain information about it is by experiencing this direct intellectual access (perhaps by experiencing our concepts or intuitions). We are only conscious of anything through experience of some kind, and so to assert that we don't have access to the subject matter through experience is to assert that we aren't conscious of this access, at which point it becomes hard to see how we can make claims about it when we aren't even conscious of the fact that there is anything to make claims about.
Experience itself, I claim, provides primitive rules for reference, and from these we can construct all the rules for reference that we need. What experiences refer to is naturally a matter with some complications, which a detailed account of perceptual intentionality should uncover. But for our purposes here it is enough to describe the rules of reference between the experience and the subject matter as the experience corresponding to whatever is the source of that experience.
This chain of reasoning seems to be leading us to conclude that asserting something about some subject matter is intimately connected with experiences of some kind, such that every assertion will involve some claims about experience or possible experience. Obviously this sounds a lot like the logical positivist project, so before I add more details to this account let me say a few words about why the logical positivist project failed and why this account doesn't suffer from similar problems. One problem with that project was that it was connected too closely with formal logic. Instead of thinking about how statements might be transformed into assertions about experience and the subject matter the logical positivists assumed that the complete theory would logically imply them. And logical implication is problematic because it doesn't really reflect the kind of correspondences we are dealing with. But such problems could often be swept under the rug with enough qualifications. The real problem with the project is that it made no distinction between the rules for reference and the assertions themselves. The rules for reference are essentially a formalism, they aren't claims about some subject matter. By treating the rules for reference and the claims themselves in the same way and trying to explain the relationship for the claims to experience in terms of logical implication the theory was overburdened, and collapsed under internal contradictions.
Of course the rules for reference may seem like claims. For example, to claim that X gives rise to certain experiences seems like a claim about the properties of X. What this is a manifestation of is that we only need one set of rules for reference to pin down X so that we can make assertions about it, meaning that we could pin down what X refers to in terms of experiences directly or in terms of simpler terms which are themselves well-defined. Once that it done any further rules for reference can be treated as claims, and evaluated by seeing if they conform to X as described by the rules of reference that we are taking as pinning down what X asserts about the subject matter. In an absolutely formal setting we would set up our rules for reference, set them aside as special, and then move on from there. But in real life what the rules for reference are may be subject to change, sometimes depending on the situation. For example, a kind of tree may have once been pinned down by rules for reference that connected it to certain ways trees could appear. But now particular kinds of trees are pinned down by rules for reference in terms of genetics, which are in turn pinned down by rules for reference involving specialized instruments. And thus the old rules for reference are now a claim about that kind of tree, namely that they generally develop to be trees with that kind of appearance. But despite the fact that the rules for reference may be in flux, and that what we assert with the use of a term may change as our understanding of the subject matter develops, what is asserted by a claim at any particular time must be fixed by some rules for reference, and those rules for reference are not claims.
I guess I should also briefly say something about how general terms can be pinned down by rules of reference that are essentially grounded in experiences that refer to singular occurrences. Since I have discussed how this might be accomplished previously when discussing language I will be brief. The short story then is that when we are defining our concepts in terms of experience we don't have to define them solely in terms of the experiences we have had, we can define them in terms of possible experiences, as asserting that certain experiences are possible or impossible. And that allows us to define "kind" expectations in terms of experiences, a claim that certain experiences which distinguish the members falling under the supposed kind in some fundamental way as being impossible, or that the experiences we have about each entity falling under that kind will share certain similarities.
Finally I would like to point out that the claims developed here about what is required to assert something regarding some subject matter (rules for reference that are ultimately in terms of experience) essentially amount to a formal justification of my earlier claims regarding epistemic indifference (that if the difference between two claims doesn't impact our experiences in any possible way then the difference between them simply doesn't matter, or, in other words, the only things that matter are how claims relate to our experiences). Obviously epistemic indifference is motivated more by pragmatic concerns, and is independent of any theories regarding the nature of claims and their relationship to the subject matter they are about. And indeed for that reason I am inclined to rely more on epistemic indifference, since essentially the same conclusions can be drawn from both theories. But the fact that they do coincide leads me to believe that I may be reasoning correctly, since they share no premises in common and yet say basically the same thing.

I love being an athletic trainer! Why? Variety and adventure. This career, certainly in the traditional setting, is never dull, never the same, always changing. Every season brings new athletes, a few new coaches, new opponents, new game strategies and new injuries. No injury is the same because the athlete's are different. This alone keeps you thinking, keeps you fresh.
But the think that I think makes athletic training so fun is the world of adventure that you can enjoy within the profession. In my 20 years, I have gotten to experience Continue reading

By now, Katie has fully channeled her inner Sarah Connor. The only hitch? Sarah Connor benefited from knowing how her failure to rise up would incite the apocalypse. Katie's taking a leap of faith that the only way to save her family and humankind is by beating back the Hosts and their civil liaisons with unrecoverable force.
At least Will sees that clearly now. Katie spells it out for him as they argue in their yard, within earshot of impressionable Bram. Much to the relief of all Colony viewers, Will finally calls out his wife on her alliance with Broussard and the Resistance, and vents his exasperation with "cleaning up after your messes." Each blames the other for being complicit for the deaths of countless Phyllises and Rachels. They're at loggerheads over ideology, which is never healthy for a married couple already taxed by extenuating circumstances.
After all, Katie doesn't quite find the time to update Will about creepy Lindsey's adventures in babysitting with Grace, who's all but indoctrinated into magical thinking about their looming otherworldly overseers. Plus, Bram's plotting some kind of mysterious urban exploration, and it's not as if the Yonk's going to book alt-country bands by itself. So when Katie assures Eckhart's sidekick, Morgan (hey there, Thora Birch!), that "17 years of motherhood and ten years running my own business" qualifies her as battle-ready, folks better recognize.
Besides, who's Morgan to second-guess Katie on sight? She's fairly slight-looking at first blush herself, and is prone to lame wisecracks about "G.I. Joe gallows humor." Then there's BB (Victor Rasuk, of the underrated How to Make It in America). He's a tech nerd (or so his glasses and slacker tee would suggest) who's amped to detonate a bomb underneath the wall, despite zero experience engineering live explosives. If I were Broussard and Katie, I'd be vetting this group even more suspiciously than they've interrogated me. But with Occupation forces having thinned out the Resistance's herd, you take what you can get, even if it means a trio of Millennials spying on Homeland Security via a prototype bumblebee drone.
Likewise, Snyder's out of options to contain further anarchy and avoid a demotion courtesy of the Pacific Coast's chief minister, who's set to arrive any day. So what choice does he have but to trust Will and Beau's supposed intel about insurgents operating outside the colony? He'll grant them access through the tunnel into downtown, but not without a chaperone. Fortunately for them, Lagarza's something of a dunderhead and doesn't even blink when a pair of alleged rebels purportedly pop off on Will and Beau before successfully escaping. As a bonus, their chrome-domed colleague can't infer that they'd staged the gunshots and planted evidence to support their theory. (Though as I mentioned last week, no one should be surprised if Lagarza's just playing dumb.)
Works for Will. Now he can pull off his defining act of heroism by clearing a path for Katie and the kids to rendezvous with Beau downtown and dart off to freedom in Beau's cozy Big Bear cabin. And who wouldn't want a roommate like Beau? Not to mention Will's gonna reunite with them in a sec, just as soon as he rescues Charlie. And he's right: On the surface, his plan seems saner than Katie's, but she's not wrong about the lack of guarantee that their life on the other side will feel safe or familiar.
If only anyone had much time to reason. The minister, apparently code-named (or just named?) Hyperion, is hours from arriving on the metro lines that still operate to shuttle VIPs in and out of L.A. Katie's heeded Broussard's advice about points of no return, absorbed Will's lecture about family priorities, and made her choice: resistance 4-eva. Whether BB constructs a bomb that gently nudges the minister's train off the tracks or blows it to bits, Broussard's new gang is headed underground. And unwilling to go down without a fight, Snyder expertly manipulates his potential adversary, Nolan, into helping him maintain the status quo (so long, Charlotte). Although, there's one thing that none of them predicted: When BB's bomb goes boom, among its casualties would be one half of Daft Punk — or rather, the alien cyborg who (presumably) is the chief minister. Oy. No wonder Katie's having trouble compartmentalizing.
Apart From All That:
- I watched this episode twice, and I'm still not entirely sure what the hell happened.
- I do know it appears Maddie's on her way up the Occupation's ladder.
- Will Bram and creepy Mr. Carson execute their own impossible mission, or will Bram be stuck supervising brainwashed little sis for all time? Where's Charlie when you need him?
- Is it too late to dub Will and Beau as Beauman? Feels right to me.
- The opening anniversary-ceremony-gone-wrong scene in Koreatown certainly smacks of The Leftovers.
- Ahem, Eric — those are no ordinary elite bodyguards. They are Grayhats, my friend.
- Pending the finale, it's hard to forecast how Colony might effectively scale back next year when its world has gotten so big. Guess we'll need to see how it all shakes out next week.

360 image of the site after diggers and clearance work begins.
We can really start to see the potential of the site and plan for how to really use the space!
Clearance day, March 2nd.
Clearance of the space gained momentum this month as RHUG members got to grips with clearing away debris and bramble and working out which plants and trees to keep safe.
Our presence here before the diggers moved in was also important to warn away the foxes who are soon to be having cubs.
The clearance day really got things moving and we could all start to see the potential of the space.
The Robin Hood Community Gardens – Riches for All!
The old One O'clock club space by the river at Springfield in Upper Clapton is about to be brought back to life. We, the local residents have worked hard to convince the local authorities that this space needs to be restored as a local resource, a place of beauty and enjoyment for us and our children. In fact we and our children have already worked hard on the clearing of the brambles and rubbish. Over the weekend diggers have moved in and removed most of the overgrown vegetation and it is really possible to see the potential of this beautiful, neglected space by the river.
We aim to create a welcoming place/open space that provides the local community with a resource offering opportunities for healthy physical exercise, learning, recreation, relaxation and reflection.
We will create an orchard, a green space for everyone to enjoy, workshops on growing and harvesting, cooking meals together and general skill sharing so that we can all contribute to and enjoy this unique and beautiful riverside community garden.
Named after a famous local pub on Big Hill, the gardens takes its name from the old Robin Hood Tavern. The pub sign was found in the bushes some years ago and was kept by Parks gardener Glyn to be used for something such as this in the future.
Robin Hood is a great symbol of hope in this time of recession. . . The riches in this case will be for everyone to enjoy!

Explanation of form fields
is an explanation of all the different form fields available.
An entry field that allows visitors to freely type information. Text fields are
great for allowing visitors to type in more information that can help clarify
Similar to a Text field, but the field height is limited. String fields are
better used for collection First Name, Last Name, Address, City, etc.
A string field allows only numbers to be entered. Number fields are good when
you want to collect a number such as How Many Guest Will Be Attending, How Many
Employees, etc.
Down List: Presents the visitor with a pre-defined list to choose from where
only one option can be selected. Drop down list work great for collecting a
Source, Contact Type, Phone Type, Address Type, etc.
Choice: Give the visitor multiple answers to choose from. Multiple choice
fields are good in situations where you have a fewer options to choose from,
such as True/False or Yes/No.
Check Box: The check box allows visitors to check or uncheck an option. You can use the check box in situations where you have True/False or Yes/No options, or to give consent.
The date field allows visitors to enter a date in MM/DD/YYYY format. The date
field works well when you want collect information such as Best Date To Call,
Best Date To Meet, etc.
The time field allows visitors to enter a time in hh:mm am format. The time
field works well when you want to collect information such as Best Time To
Call, Best Time To Meet, etc.
Allows visitors to enter a phone number. The phone number field is important if
you want to collect a phone number to get back in touch with the visitor.
Collect a dollar amount from the visitor. Currency can be an important field if
you require to collect a dollar value from your visitors, such as Home Value,
Budget, etc.
Collect the visitors email address. Collecting the visitors email address
ensures that you can stay in touch with the customer or communicate with them

Another point that I have been looking at is architecture. One of my latest clay sculpture ( some part of it I like and some part I dont like! :) ) reminded me a cathedral!
I will be looking at architecture related with sculpture and see if I can move those ideas further.
I went to Oxford to take some fantastic pictures of the architecture, very inspiring!
So currently working a a new one in plaster, also looking into new materials to use....

Bus at Montevideo
Montevideo is a very small city, very well connected and with lots of bus lines.
Traveling inside Montevideo does not prove to be difficult, since an average trip is not longer than 30 minutes and going over from one side to the city to the other takes about 1 hour at most by bus. But in order that you have a complete guide we are going to leave you an instruction manual of how to travel by bus in Montevideo.
Traveling by Bus inside Montevideo
You have a lot of lines of mass transportation available, which are:
Cutcsa: with urban services and also inter urban with journeys from Montevideo to La Plata. Its customer service telephone number is 19333 and you may find the schedules and bus stops online from www.cutcsa.com.uy
Come: It is a transporting cooperative effort, characterized by a green-colored fleet. It travels also to suburban areas. Their web site i: www.come.com.uy
Coetc: It travels inside Montevideo and close zones like Las Piedras and Sauce. For more information visit www.coetc.com
Ucot: It travels mainly in the urban areas, but also to Sauce and Canelones. For further information: www.ucot.net
If you need to know how to go from one side of the city to another by bus, we recommend you to use the following tool: http://www.montevideo.gub.uy/aplicacion/como-ir
Traveling by bus outside Montevideo
Ad hoc, Montevideo has two terminals. The Tres Cruces bus terminal has journeys to all the uruguayan provinces, since it has buses traveling to the 18 remaining departments. During the summer season, journeys to Punta del Este and Rocha are every hour. To check schedules, prices and destinies, you should access the Tres Cruces web site: www.trescruces.com.uy
If you want to travel to Costa de Oro, Canelones or Pando we recommend you to go to the Rio Branco bus terminal, located in Rio Branco and Galicia. There you will find transportation every hour, heading mostly to the Canelones's coast.
We hope that this guide has been helpful to know the different bus at Montevideo.

Final output of selects/files
After the shoot, you will receive all files shot for that particular project between 24 and 48 Hours. These will be sent directly through an online transfer platform such as Dropbox or Wetransfer. The files will be colour and density corrected but in their Raw state. Usually you will get a contact sheet style PDF and a Lo-Res version with unique file names, you can then pick 20 Selects to be retouched. We can help with the editing process if needed.
When you receive the Lo-Res raws, this is when the full balance of the fee is due, this will indicate that you have seen all of the images and are happy. When the balance due has been paid the Hi-Res Raws will be uploaded and sent to you. It is recommended that you download and save these somewhere safe, we save everything but do not guarantee the archiving of any imagery.
Once we have the 20 selects, the first round of retouching will commence and be turned around within 5 business days. This is where the imagery is straightened, colour corrected and any minor items such as wall plug's and wires are taken out. If there are any further comments or edits, this will be agreed prior to a second round and be charged per the hour.

* Remember how great working out makes you feel.
Often I have dreading my workouts but I know that after about 10 minutes I am glad to be there along with everyone else who have made the same choice that day. I make the most of my hour and before you know it I feel like a champion.
* Always include resistance training as part of your workout program.
What burns calories? The TRUTH is that strength training is the FASTEST way to boost your metabolism and create an efficient system of burning fat. Recent studies suggest that strength training can boost your metabolism up to 30% after working out. Simply stated, after the workout, your body continues to burn calories.
Aim for 3 - 5 days a week strength training.
* Change up your strength training program every 6-8 weeks.
They body is constantly aiming to be comfortable, which is what you don't want. Keep your body guessing by changing up your workout program. Changing your workout program can be done by:
A. Reducing your Tempo
Speed kills your exercise program! Moving through a set at too great a speed can generate tremendous strain on your joints and connective tissue, and is self-defeating. Slow down!
B. Reduced Rest
Shorter rest between sets also translates into greater intensity, especially as it relates to building endurance. Longer rest between sets allows the muscles to recover more completely, and consequently work at a higher resistance level. If you work with 30 seconds or less between sets, you're Circuit Training.
C. Increased Volume
Adjusting the total number of sets performed per exercise is another way to vary overall intensity. Intensity adds up, so that one very intense set can deliver as much as two or three moderately intense efforts. The more intensely you train, the less you need to do. If you don't want to crank up intensity, add another set or two.
D. Increased Resistance
And last but not least, increase the amount of weight lifted. This can be done from set to set, from workout to workout, or both. Track how much weight lifted, and how many reps performed on every set. If possible, make jumps in increments of five to ten percent. (Women 2 - 5 %)
* Do 20 - 40 min of cardio before your first meal.
This will not only set the pace for the day giving you extra energy, and your metabolism will be boosted. Doing cardio before eating your first meal is common amongst people who are preparing for a physique contest. Many claim that without their morning cardio 2 - 5 days a week they simply don't get as lean.
note: a 1/2 scoop of protein powder mixed with water is fine
start with 20 min and add 2 min each day till you are at your time goal.
* Sleep 7 - 9 hours each night.
Scientists have found that sleep deprivation increases levels of a hunger hormone and decreases levels of a hormone that makes you feel full. The effects may lead to overeating and weight gain.
* Consume a meal every 2.5 - 3.5 hrs.
Eating meals that contain slow burning carbohydrates, lean proteins, and healthy fatty acids 4 - 6 times a day will be a major key in your quest for fat loss.
Eating often will:
1. keep your blood sugar levels in an optimal range.
2. Will supply your brain readily available fuel.
3. Will help you to burn a few more calories.
4. Helps to reduce your portions.
5. Helps to reduce starvation eating.
* Drink a gallon (4 liters) of water a day.
Breaking down body fat and body muscle during weight loss produces wastes that must be eliminated through the kidneys. Drinking enough water is important to keep the kidneys functioning to remove these wastes.
note: have water with you at all times.
(lemon improves taste so you can drink more)
Have my tips been working for you? I will be starting a testimonials page at http://www.officiallyfawnia.com and I would love to hear from you.
Send me your before & after photos, stats and a brief bio on how you reached your goals. I am with you each step of the way!

We can not avoid toxins because of the fact that they are all around us. Toxins and heavy metals contaminate water, air and food.
When they enter our bodies, heavy metals accumulate in the internal organs, tissues and bones. Our body can not eliminate them without our help.
Cleansing the blood is probably one of the most important weapons in the alternative health arsenal for achieving optimum wellness and defeating cancer.
In order to detox your blood, you can use a blood cleanser, which consists of various herbs. Most of these herbs are extremely bitter and taste really horrible, but they work.
Red Clover. It is an excellent blood purifier that over time gradually cleanses the bloodstream and corrects deficiencies in the circulatory system.
Burdock root. It cleanses the blood by increasing the effectiveness of all the body's elimination systems. Its diuretic effect helps the kidneys filter impurities from the blood. It helps push toxins out through the skin, and it also boosts the ability of the liver to remove toxins (1).
Cayenne. It is extremely beneficial for the circulatory system, helping to improve the elasticity of the walls of both the arterial and venous systems, maintain normal blood platelet function.
The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that help rid the body of toxins, waste and other unwanted materials. The primary function of the lymphatic system is to transport lymph, a fluid containing infection-fighting white blood cells, throughout the body (2).
You can clean out your lymphatic system by drinking plenty of water and avoiding processed foods.
There are many foods that can help cleanse the liver naturally by stimulating its natural ability to clean toxic waste from the body.
Try to incorporate these liver cleanse foods into your weekly diet: garlic, grapefruit, beets, carrots, cruciferous vegetables, apples, leafy green vegetables, olive oil, turmeric, walnuts lemons and limes.
Certain foods and health practices can support and encourage gallbladder vitality and performance.
Make sure that you are consuming enough fibre, fruits, vegetables and water. In addition, you will want to avoid foods that are high in fat and sugar, such as fast food.
If it is poisoned or inflamed, it will be difficult to digest food well, which is why it is worth knowing how to take care of it.
Eliminate alcohol, tobacco, and all junk food from your diet. Also reduce your consumption of flour, sugar, sweets… There are several medicinal plants that will help cleanse the pancreas:ginger tea, green tea, licorice infusion (3).
They work day and night, 24/7 to filter out harmful toxins. When the load of toxins gets too much for kidneys to handle, their functioning slows down, making one susceptible to kidney stones, infections, cysts, tumors and finally a shut down.
Drink lots and lots of water. The most important thing for a regular kidney detox is to have a high intake of water. Having 10 -12 glasses of water per day helps to filter out the accumulated toxins. Berries, like cranberries, also help in cleansing the kidney (4).
When the colon does not function properly, it begins to absorb toxins instead of eliminating them, thereby causing problems like headaches, bloating, constipation, gas, weight gain, low energy, fatigue, and chronic illnesses.
Fresh apple juice is one of the best remedies for colon cleansing. Regular intake of apple juice will encourage the bowel movements, breaks down the toxins and improves the healthy functioning of the liver and digestive system.
Fresh ginger root, cayenne fruit and fennel seed can be consumed to help keep your colon clean and fresh.

Edmonton, AB – Ritchie Mill, a prominent landmark on the south edge of the North Saskatchewan River Valley, is the new home for RE/MAX Commercial Capital: Edmonton's only RE/MAX Commercial Brokerage.
Scott Hughes, Broker/Owner of RE/MAX Commercial Capital, bought the franchise in October 2015. Starting with three Sales Associates, the office has steadily grown; therefore, RE/MAX Commercial Capital needed a suitable space to grow into.
Hughes explored other buildings and areas in Edmonton, but it was clear that Ritchie Mill's unique style provided maximum flexibility in a historical, modernized professional space.
"The entrepreneurs that built Ritchie Mill are credited with creating the Edmonton region's agriculture business in the 1890s. I hope to carry on their spirit. It's a historic building that deserves its rightful place within our Edmonton heritage," says Scott Hughes, Broker/Owner, RE/MAX Capital Commercial.
"I was raised here; I raised my kids here. It means a great deal to me to be part of Edmonton's history"
Constructed in 1892, Ritchie Mill exemplifies early agricultural and industrial development of Alberta. It is associated with early technical innovation.
RE/MAX Commercial Capital plans to operate on one floor of the building, and is looking to lease part of the building as a retail/cafe space, with the remaining floors for office use.

Introduction: LED Snowflake
This LED snowflake has animated colours provided by 7 APA102 LEDs, and controlled by an Arduino Nano microcontroller. The pieces are laser cut acrylic. You can create your own design following the concepts here, and laser cut them at your local maker lab. Or you can purchase the kit of pre-cut parts, at makerism.com. The parts of the kit are shown in one of the accompanying photos.
I have made this design in a couple of different sizes. The smaller ones are quite light and do not stand up as well as the larger ones. The USB cable provides power for the finished snowflake, and I find the lighter USB cables work best, as the heavier cables are not as flexible and tend to push the snowflake over. The small snowflake is light enough that it can be hung by the USB cable.
I prefer APA102 LED strips, though WS2812s would work just as well. My firmware however will not work with any other LED strips, just the APA102s.
I intend on providing the design files, though they are currently only in RDWorks format which is not a standard format. If you are interested please contact me.
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Cut Three 2-pin Jumpers
Start with an unsoldered Nano. These typically come with the pin headers required. Break or cut one of the headers into 2-pin sections. Three are required. If you use wire cutters, hold onto the two pieces as you cut, because they are bound to go flying, the small piece in particular.
Step 2:
I like to use a Nano socket as a holder while soldering the pins into the Nano. You might also use a solderless breadboard. Place the three 2-pin headers into the socket at the positions as shown. Lay the Nano over top. The pins we will be using at 5V, GND, D8, and D9. Solder one pin of each header, then look from the side to make sure the header is all the way down into the circuit board. If not, reheat the one soldered pin and push down. Then solder the other pin of each header.
Step 3:
There are two pins that we don't need, so these can be cut off. Put your finger over the pin as you cut it, as the pin is bound to go flying. Insert the Nano into the acrylic holder. Bend over each pin as shown. The pins should all angle up about 20 degrees.
Step 4:
Now its time to assemble the LED strip. There are two sections to the strip: one of 6 LEDs, the other of 1 LED with a sticky backing. If you use the same LEDs that I have used (APA102's with GND on the top), then 6 wires will be required. Start with 2" wires. I use wires cut from a Seeed Grove cable, but any wires of about 24 gauge will do. Strip each wire about 2mm from the end, and apply solder (this is called tinning).
Step 5:
Apply solder to the pads of the LED strips. The input pads are the 4 of which 2 are usually labelled DI and CI. For the 6 LED strip, only the input pads need to be tinned. For the single LED, both input and output pads need solder. The two strips need to be joined such that GND connects to GND, CO to CI, DO to DI, and 5V to 5V. In these photos all the wires are the same length, though it actually works better if the lengths vary as to create a 90 degree turn between the two strips.
Step 6:
Now it is time to connect the strip onto the Nano assembly. First tin the pins. Solder two wires to the pins D8 and D9. Remove the backing from the sticky, single LED strip, and stick it to the acrylic so that the LED is about in the middle. Solder the two wires to the strip. D9 will connect to CI, and D8 to DI. Solder the LED strip assembly to the LED strip assembly.
Step 7:
Add shrink tubing to both ends of the 6 LED strip. The strip will be formed into a circle, and these two ends will be touching. The shrink tubing will prevent short circuiting. Use a heat gun to cause the tubing to shrink.
Step 8:
Form the LED strip into a circle, adjusting wire positions as necessary. The screw holes must be on the outside of the circle. When bending the wires, be careful not to cause too much mechanical stressing of the solder joints.
Step 9:
Now its time to assemble the snowflake. Start with the back and build the sandwich upward. Put the screws through the back and lay the back on a surface. Put the Nano assembly over top.
Step 10:
Add the first clear spacer, pushing the strip through the hole in the middle. Next is the frost acrylic snowflake. Some adjustment of wires might be necessary. When the snowflake is in place, push each LED into the slot in the snowflake inner circle.
Step 11:
Add the top clear spacer. The top of the strip should be flush with the top of the clear piece. Put the diffuser on top.
Step 12:
The front frost acrylic piece needs countersinking, so that the flat head screws will be flush with the surface of the acrylic. Hold the acrylic with one hand, lay the bit over the hole, pull the trigger, and press down for a couple of seconds. You can test with a screw to see if it is flush, then repeat as many times as needed to get it right.
When done countersinking, lay the front piece over top of our snowflake sandwich.
BTW I purchased this countersinking bit at Home Depot.
Step 13:
Now the sandwich is complete, but the screws are the wrong way around. We need to pull out each screw and push it in from the back side. To help in maintaining hole alignment, put a standoff onto the end of one screw. Then holding the snowflake together, pull out the other screw and push it in from the back. You might need to use a screwdriver to get out or in. Add the standoff. Repeat for the other screw.
Step 14:
The sandwich is fully assembled now, but you may need to check for gaps. A wire often will find its way in between two pieces, and will need to be pushed back into the center using a sharp implement.
Step 15:
The snowflake is complete.
Programming can be performed with any Arduino-compatible software. I use my own Scridgets software for programming. I will be providing a HEX file with a suitable program ASAP.The file can be uploaded into the Nano using AvrDude, which ships with Arduino.

My work is hand drawn ink line drawings, digitally coloured in Photoshop. I can work up a drawing from scratch using plans and elevations or work up rough ideas using Google Earth for site information. Naturally, if there's a 3D CAD model that can be set up with a decent view this is an ideal base; I regularly work up drawings this way once a project has settled on the 'Massing' stage with only some ideas as to the final form.
My drawings can be any where from large and detailed to small, quick and loose. Anywhere between 'Full Colour' or black and white to suit the specific needs of a visualisation or presentation. The advantage of a hand drawn base is that images take on a life of their own and give a character to a scheme that is often lacking in more time consuming CGI images.
During my time working in architectural practice, most recently for Grimshaw Architects in Melbourne, I've worked on large and small projects across most of the sectors but mainly Commercial and Transport Infrastructure.
As such, I have a strong understanding of the evolution of designs and the requirements of visualisations at various stages. My sketches fill the gap in the process of the development of a design before it is resolved enough for a detailed CGI visual. They have the advantage of being fast, often taking only a day or two from the initial meeting and briefing as well as easily adapted to incorporate design changes.
I'm based in York, but able to travel. I also regularly work "across time zones"; discussing a projects by phone or online and working during a night to deliver images to the other side of the world in a client's morning.
If you want to know more about me you can look at my Architectural Illustration CV or if you're feeling really kind you could print a (double sided) copy of my Illustration Flyer and leave it where lots of people will look at it.

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle
The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle - by Haruki Murakami (B+) 607pgs.
The first thing I thought about this book was that it is not what I expected. It's a crazy story that takes you all sorts of places that you may or may not want to go. I liked it.
Admittedly, his style is not for everyone. You are left with unanswered questions, and events that happen without a whiff of explanation. He uses a style that is similar, but not the same, as magical realists. Someone he manages to keep the story slow-paced, yet a page-turner at the same time. It is truly a story filled with paradoxes. I definitely plan to check out some more of his books.
An Amazon reviewer that sums up my experience perfectly: "I don't know where I went, but I loved the journey."

This past week has been super busy with not much time for reading. We spent time in Saratoga, NY. My husband at one time was involved in the racing industry and has always wanted to check out this racetrack which is only open about (7) weeks each year. The area is beautiful and the weather was gorgeous. It was a wonderful place for a people-watcher like me to have plenty of entertainment, even though I'm not really into horse racing.
- The Beautiful Bureaucrat; Helen Phillips - (sent by Henry Holt & Co) --
- In a windowless building in a remote part of town, the newly employed Josephine inputs an endless string of numbers into something known only as The Database. After a long period of joblessness, she's not inclined to question her fortune, but as the days inch by and the files stack up, Josephine feels increasingly anxious in her surroundings-the office's scarred pinkish walls take on a living quality, the drone of keyboards echoes eerily down the long halls. When one evening her husband Joseph disappears and then returns, offering no explanation as to his whereabouts, her creeping unease shifts decidedly to dread.As other strange events build to a crescendo, the haunting truth about Josephine's work begins to take shape in her mind, even as something powerful is gathering its own form within her. She realizes that in order to save those she holds most dear, she must penetrate an institution whose tentacles seem to extend to every corner of the city and beyond. Both chilling and poignant, The Beautiful Bureaucrat is a novel of rare restraint and imagination. With it, Helen Phillips enters the company of Murakami, Bender, and Atwood as she twists the world we know and shows it back to us full of meaning and wonder-luminous and new.
- Dataclysm: Who We Are (When We Think No One's Looking); Christian Rudder (Crown) sent by Paperback Swap member -----An audacious, irreverent investigation of human behavior—and a first look at a revolution in the making
Our personal data has been used to spy on us, hire and fire us, and sell us stuff we don't need. InDataclysm, Christian Rudder uses it to show us who we truly are.
For centuries, we've relied on polling or small-scale lab experiments to study human behavior. Today, a new approach is possible. As we live more of our lives online, researchers can finally observe us directly, in vast numbers, and without filters. Data scientists have become the new demographers.
In this daring and original book, Rudder explains how Facebook "likes" can predict, with surprising accuracy, a person's sexual orientation and even intelligence; how attractive women receive exponentially more interview requests; and why you must have haters to be hot. He charts the rise and fall of America's most reviled word through Google Search and examines the new dynamics of collaborative rage on Twitter. He shows how people express themselves, both privately and publicly. What is the least Asian thing you can say? Do people bathe more in Vermont or New Jersey? What do black women think about Simon & Garfunkel? (Hint: they don't think about Simon & Garfunkel.) Rudder also traces human migration over time, showing how groups of people move from certain small towns to the same big cities across the globe. And he grapples with the challenge of maintaining privacy in a world where these explorations are possible.
Visually arresting and full of wit and insight, Dataclysm is a new way of seeing ourselves—a brilliant alchemy, in which math is made human and numbers become the narrative of our time.
- Autobiography of a Corpse; S. Krzhizhanovsky (NYRB Classics-purchase) ---An NYRB Classics Original
The stakes are wildly high in Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky's fantastic and blackly comic philosophical fables, which abound in nested narratives and wild paradoxes. This new collection of eleven mind-bending and spellbinding tales includes some of Krzhizhanovsky's most dazzling conceits: a provincial journalist who moves to Moscow finds his existence consumed by the autobiography of his room's previous occupant; the fingers of a celebrated pianist's right hand run away to spend a night alone on the city streets; a man's lifelong quest to bite his own elbow inspires both a hugely popular circus act and a new refutation of Kant. Ordinary reality cracks open before our eyes in the pages of Autobiography of a Corpse, and the extraordinary spills out.
- Becoming Ellen; Shari Shattuck --(sent by G.P Putnam & Sons) ---Returning in the bestselling tradition of Jennifer Weiner, Shattuck brilliantly illustrates the deep friendship between two absolutely unforgettable women in this touching yet funny novel.
Ellen Homes is done being invisible. Well, sort of.
Living with her closest friends, Temerity and Justice, has helped her step out of the shell of invisibility she once hid away in. She still seeks refuge in solitary time and observing from afar, but she has pushed herself to open up to others in ways that bring her unexpected happiness.
But when a terrible bus crash upends her normal routine, Ellen finds herself on a whirlwind crusade for the unseen and downtrodden. Only this time, helping others—including two young children with no one else to turn to—will mean facing a pain from her past that she's long tucked away.
Picking up where Invisible Ellen left off, Becoming Ellen returns us to the touching, poignant, and compassionate world of Ellen Homes as she learns how to navigate the world she has decided to become a part of.
- All That Followed; Gabriel Urza -- (sent by Henry Holt & Co.) ----A psychologically twisting novel about a politically-charged act of violence that echoes through a small Spanish town; a dazzling debut in the tradition of Daniel Alarcón and Mohsin HamidIt's 2004 in Muriga, a quiet town in Spain's northern Basque Country, a place with more secrets than inhabitants. Five years have passed since the kidnapping and murder of a young local politician--a family man and father--and the town's rhythms have almost returned to normal. But in the aftermath of the Atocha train bombings in Madrid, an act of terrorism that rocked a nation and a world, the townspeople want a reckoning of Muriga's own troubled past: Everyone knows who pulled the trigger five years ago, but is the young man now behind bars the only one to blame? All That Followed peels away the layers of a crime complicated by history, love, and betrayal. The accounts of three townspeople in particular--the councilman's beautiful young widow, the teenage radical now in jail for the crime, and an aging American teacher hiding a traumatic past of his own--hold the key to what really happened. And for these three, it's finally time to confront what they can find of the truth.Inspired by a true story, All That Followed is a powerful, multifaceted novel about a nefarious kind of violence that can take hold when we least expect. Urgent, elegant, and gorgeously atmospheric, Urza's debut is a book for the world we live in now, and it marks the arrival of a brilliant new writer to watch.
- Confusion; Stefan Zweig (NYRB Classics - purchase) --- Stefan Zweig was particularly drawn to the novella, and Confusion, a rigorous and yet transporting dramatization of the conflict between the heart and the mind, is among his supreme achievements in the form.
A young man who is rapidly going to the dogs in Berlin is packed off by his father to a university in a sleepy provincial town. There a brilliant lecture awakens in him a wild passion for learning—as well as a peculiarly intense fascination with the graying professor who gave the talk. The student grows close to the professor, becoming a regular visitor to the apartment he shares with his much younger wife. He takes it upon himself to urge his teacher to finish the great work of scholarship that he has been laboring at for years and even offers to help him in any way he can. The professor welcomes the young man's attentions, at least on some days. On others, he rages without apparent reason or turns away from his disciple with cold scorn. The young man is baffled, wounded. He cannot understand.
But the wife understands. She understands perfectly. And one way or another she will help him to understand too.

A child that has a heart and wears it, opens up your mind and literally stops you in your thoughts. ~Heather Piper
On Sunday, May 1, 2011 President Obama announced that terrorist, Osama Bin Laden was shot dead in Pakistan.
After swimming class on Monday evening we watched the news outlining the details of this event. First, I would like to call out that Kyle likes watching the news. He turns it on without me asking and sits and watches it as I make dinner. I'm sure I've called that out before, but I wanted to reiterate.
We were watching as they described how the navy seal team six were transported in two helicopters to the compound in Pakistan to take down Bin Laden. The story went on how the helicopters hovered over the compound, where the terrorist leader was thought to be staying. The news segment continued on how President Obama took a chance and sent in the U.S. troops to take Bin Laden dead or alive. Kyle sat and watched very intently as they went through the story. I was waiting to answer any questions he might have. I expected questions such as "Who was Bin Laden?", "What did he do?", "Why did they kill him?", "How do they know they got the right person?" and so on and so on, even though I've talked to him about the terrorists and the constant threats.
Kyle got up to get a pencil to start his homework, and in that moment I thought, "He really doesn't care or doesn't understand enough to talk about the news." Which was strange because he always has questions or some sort of opinion or concern on the topic featured. Then, in that moment of my thoughts, Kyle stopped in his tracks, as if reading my mind, turned toward me with his back lightly facing me, threw up his hands as if making a confused gesture and said, "Why would Obama do that?" I actually was baffled. The news was focusing on the navy seal team and their actions plus Bin Laden, AND KYLE WAS WONDERING ABOUT THE ACTIONS OF THE PRESIDENT? I asked, "What do you mean buddy?" and he said, "Why would Obama take a chance with our team and send them in on the ground when they were flying over the building with helicopters? They could have bombed the bad guys cause our guys could have been hurt too." Wow! The thought process and the sincerity for our troops just blew me away. I said, "Well, buddy I'm not 100% sure, but I'm guessing the President wanted to make sure we killed Bin Laden. If they bombed the compound, then the body would have been annihilated and we wouldn't have our proof that Bin Laden was no longer a threat. "
I waited as he thought about those words and said, "Ok, that makes sense cause, Aunt Heather, I was going to say, our guys could have been hurt too." I told him, I understood what he was talking about and I told him it was a decision our President made and the troops obeyed orders to ensure Bin Laden's extinction. He then asked, "Well how do they know they got him and not someone wearing a disguise?" I told him that they compared DNA samples and they did facial recognition on him like what's used on the Xbox.
Not another word was said until the following Monday when I was helping Kyle with his homework. He had to write a paper on Texas, each student had to pick a state and write about it. I was excited because I just finished reading the book Churchill's The History of the English Speaking Peoples. There was a section on the pre-civil war and the annexation of Texas. I thought, "Perfect!" I pulled my book out and showed him the couple of pages that focused on Texas. I went on about how dictator Santa Anna crushed our troops at the Alamo and that's where the famous phrase, "Remember the Alamo" comes from. Well I must have been talking over his head cause he said to me, "Aunt Heather, I really don't understand the Alamo." Then I tried to make it easy on him by making a loose comparison to the terrorist attacks on 9/11. I said, "Santa Anna was the leader of the opposite side, like Bin Laden. Santa Anna killed a lot of our troops at the Alamo the same way Bin Laden organized the attack on our World Trade Center and the Pentagon (also remembering the tragedy in Shanksville, Pennsylvania). Like today when people say, 'Remember 9/11', back then, the people were saying 'Remember the Alamo'. They were sad for losing so many friends and family. He went, "O I get it!" I know it was a very loose comparison but I couldn't think fast enough.
Again, not another word was said, but this past weekend Kyle went to my mom's work for an open house where they had a crafts table for kids. He came home with helicopters and a fort made out of popsicle sticks. He said he was going to line up his Legos and they were going to be bombed by the helicopters. Amazing how that sticks with him!
Is it wrong to have Kyle watch the news? My opinion is: as long as I answer his questions and explain it's a part of life and reality. But should we as guardians be so detailed in telling the truth?

McKenna Op-Ed on R-71 Case
The Attorney General writes this op-ed in the Seattle Times.
Posted by OG-Blog at 4/27/2010 11:41:00 AM
"Og-blog" stands for "open-government blog" and that's what we do: tell people about open-government issues of interest to regular citizens, media, trade associations, and government agencies. We find interesting stories and court cases from Washington State and other places about the Public Records Act, Open Public Meetings Act, access-to-court rulings, and media law.

"Today the European Commission has proposed a multi-annual plan for demersal fish stocks in the North Sea. The proposal covers demersal fish stocks, i.e. fish that live and feed near the bottom of the sea, and aims to ensure that stocks are fished at sustainable levels. It will also bring decision-making closer to fishermen.
The new North Sea plan is the first comprehensive plan for this sea basin. The fisheries of the North Sea are highly complex, involving vessels from at least seven coastal Member States, as well as Norway. Vessels use a variety of fishing equipment and their catches consist of a mix of different species, such as cod and haddock, or plaice and sole. Today's proposal establishes a management plan that takes into account these mixed-fisheries interactions."

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe was left to rue a "gift" of an opening goal as his side suffered a 3-1 home defeat to Manchester United on Sunday.
A promising first 40 minutes at the Vitality Stadium was undone when Simon Francis' poor backpass allowed Juan Mata to ghost in and give United the lead, despite a good save from Artur Boruc.
Wayne Rooney headed in Anthony Martial's mishit volley early in the second half before Zlatan Ibrahimovic struck a fine third to seal United's win, despite a consolation for Bournemouth through Adam Smith.
Howe was encouraged by some of his side's display, but conceded that the mistake for the opening goal proved to be a turning point.
"Lots of elements were pretty good, we started quite brightly and the first goal was a hammer blow," he told Sky Sports. "You can't gift goals away in the Premier League and we've done that to the very best.
"Simon's been outstanding over a long period of time and it's just a little blip for him. It was a turning point but credit to the players for not giving in.
"We kept possession really well but failed to build sustained pressure and pepper their goal until the final few minutes. That's something we need to work on.
"We didn't have the cutting edge but that will hopefully come in the coming weeks."
Howe, who gave debuts to record signing Jordon Ibe and Lewis Cook, also confirmed that a fee has been agreed with Stoke City for defender Marc Wilson.
"We've agreed a fee, we're waiting for the formalities to be completed," he added.

Academy Plans Active Grassroots Advocacy Network in 2018
After an active 2017, the Academy's Government Relations Committee and PAC Advisory Board are looking to continue the positive momentum by expanding the Grassroots Advocacy Network. In addition to opportunities to attend local PAC events, similar to the event for Rep. John Garamendi in January, the members of the Grassroots Advocacy Network will receive monthly messages with key updates on issues, advocacy tips, and other opportunities for action. Additionally, the Network will continue to receive messages when urgent Congressional action is needed on an issue that will impact audiology. The Academy's Grassroots Advocacy Network was created to help foster relationships between audiologists and their Congressional representatives so that the audiologist's perspective is considered when Congress debates issues that will impact the profession or hearing health care. The Academy encourages all members to sign-up for these monthly updates to stay involved with the Academy's advocacy efforts. Please contact associate director of government relations Adam Finkel with any questions.

Maternity at the ocean – Miami Beach at sunrise
Living in South Florida, I'm always surprised if my clients are not from somewhere I've never visited, or don't speak a language or two that I don't. Lovely Gulsah (pronounced Goolshah, the best I can do!) and Tunc (pronounced Toonch, also the best I can do!) are from Turkey. They met here in Miami Beach, fell in love, got married and made a beautiful baby boy together. I got lucky to document their entire journey into parenthood. I learned some things about Turkish traditions and also made a friend along the way.
Part I of this story is their gorgeous maternity set, shot at South Pointe Park in Miami Beach, as sunrise.

Terrence Thompson's Drive Slow Named as Official Selection in New York Television Festival's 2017 Independent Pilot Competition
August 17, 2017
[CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, August 16, 2017] - The NYTVF (www.nytvf.com), an organization dedicated to identifying and nurturing top independent creative talent and connecting it with networks, studios, digital media companies, agencies, and brands, today announced the official selections for its flagship Independent Pilot Competition (IPC), including Drive Slow, created by Terrence Thompson and produced by Free Spirit Media, Runaway Train and Endangered Peace Media. The dramedy is one of 52 original television and digital projects that will be presented for industry decision-makers and TV fans at the 13th Annual New York Television Festival.
The NYTVF, which is considered by the industry as the preeminent independent television showcase in the world, was launched in 2005 as the first festival with a focus on independently-created television content. Each year the Festival produces dozens of events for artists, executives, and fans, while facilitating over a million dollars in development and production funding from its industry partners, available to a select group of Official Artists. This year, the independent television showcase will take place in New York City from October 23-28 at The Helen Mills Theater and Event Space, with additional Festival events at SVA Theatre.
"We're thrilled to present these 52 exceptional projects as Official Selections in the 2017 Independent Pilot Competition," said NYTVF Founder Terence Gray. "The goal of NYTVF has always been to identify the very best stories, and connect the creators of these projects with industry decision-makers across the landscape. Seeing such a spectrum of voices being elevated organically this year, it's heartening, and hopefully a bellwether of things to come. We can't wait for October."
In addition to being part of the annual independent television showcase, IPC selections will compete in a variety of categories (including "Best Comedy" and "Best Drama") by a jury comprised of the NYTVF screening committee and the emerging television executives selected for the NYTVF-HRTS Next Generation Committee, with winners being announced at an October 28 closing night awards reception.
As Official Artists, the creators of these pilots qualify for a chance to receive a development deal from one of the NYTVF's Development Partners – networks and studios which have guaranteed they will offer at least one deal to independent artists this year. These independent creators also have exclusive access to the NYTVF's industry partners through the NYTVF Connect marketplace, which includes opportunities to meet, network, and pitch some of the top network, digital, and studio executives in the business.
Descriptions and trailers for each of this year's Official Selections can be found online at: http://www.nytvf.com/2017_ipc_selections.html
"Drive Slow gives face to the many generations of Chicago youth who have been overlooked and set aside. By telling these stories we will both educate outsiders on our misconstrued experiences as Chicagoans, and affirm black youth by holistically depicting them as intelligent, capable, and imperfect." –Terrence Thompson, Creator/Director/Writer
About Drive Slow:
Drive Slow is a short film that channels the esoteric experience of being a black teenager in Chicago. After a college essay prompt asks a middle-class South-Sider how his environment influences his worldview, he struggles to define his complex surroundings in 500 words. As he spends his day reflecting on the prompt, his friends' disparate opinions, racist media narratives, and the threat of lingering danger only complicate the process.
Drive Slow was produced by Free Spirit Media, a film education non-profit, in association with Runaway Train and Endangered Peace with generous production and post-production support provided by Keslow Camera, DePaul School of Cinematic Arts, Quriosity Productions, The Mill and Park Walk Productions.
Free Spirit Media provides media education to young people of color on the South and West Sides of Chicago through in-school, after school and summer digital media education classes and advanced career Pathways programs. Free Spirit Media's Pathways programming bridges access for underrepresented young filmmakers to a network of professionals and companies while building essential skills and knowledge to successfully navigate the media field. Pathways invests in the next generation of creators and crew, contributing to a diversified media industry that values and uplifts stories from underrepresented voices.
About the NYTVF
Established in 2005, the NYTVF constructs new and innovative paths of development and talent identification, while simultaneously complementing the traditional television development model. By partnering directly with networks, studios, production companies, digital platforms and brands, the NYTVF provides its Industry Partners with a streamlined development model, leveraging its vast creative community of over 15,000 independent producers and production companies, to create content with specific partners in mind. During the annual New York Television Festival – held each fall in New York City – the NYTVF brings together its top artists and industry decision-makers for a series of events designed to foster networking, collaboration and education. The Festival also marks the culmination of the organization's yearly development efforts and features screenings of top independent content, educational panels, fan events, red carpet premieres, and more.

Biographies provide useful genealogical information such as a person's birth date and place; names of family members, including maiden names; education; occupation; and social, political, and religious affiliation. They may also contain a physical description of the person, previous residences, and immigration information. Biographies are the product of family knowledge or previous research about early settlers and prominent citizens of a state, county, or town. Local histories may contain biographical sketches of lesser-known people
Statewide, regional, and county histories often have biographical sections that can be very helpful. A representative biographical encyclopedia for Florida is:
- Harry Gardner Cutler, History of Florida, Past and Present . . . , Three Volumes (Chicago, Illinois and New York, NY: Lewis Publishing Company, 1923; Family History Library book 975.9 H2c; Volume 1 on film 1321188, Volume 3 on film 1697443 item 10). Volumes 2 and 3 have biographical information.
St. Augustine Historical Society Index
- St. Augustine Historical Society (Florida). The Biographical Card Index. This index is compiled from various records located in the St. Augustine Historical Society and other depositories. Some information contained in the biographical and genealogical file will also be found in the biographical card index. The chronological document file contains letters, wills and other miscellaneous documents. The lot and block survey card index contains descriptions of houses and other property arranged by blocks and lot numbers. Information in the Colonial St. Augustine Houses and Streets file may also be found in the lot and block survey card index.(on 38 Family History Library films beginning with 967146)
