September 5, 2018
Boston voters turned out in decisive fashion on Tuesday, at least compared to most state primary years, and ushered into office a wave of new and diverse faces. Amidst all the excitement around the transformational Congressional race between Ayanna Pressley and Michael Capuano, competitions down ballot saw dramatic moves and surprising wins.
The turnout across the city was unexpectedly high starting from 9 a.m., where 3.7 percent of voters cast their ballots before noon on a warm post-Labor Day. By the time the polls closed at 8 p.m., turnout had reached 24.86 percent in the city, with 100,333 Boston residents taking their stands at the voting booths.
A key rider on the wave was Rachael Rollins, who earned some 40 percent of the vote to become the Democratic candidate for the office of Suffolk County district attorney in the November final. She bested her closest rival Greg Henning and three other hopefuls in a competitive race and will face the independent candidate, attorney Michael Maloney, in the general election.
"I am honored and humbled," Rollins said in a statement issued by her campaign. "But I also need to say – for all of us – that this is earned. As a 47-year-old black woman, I have earned this. We have earned this. This is the time for us to claim our power and make good on our promises to make true criminal justice reform for the people in Suffolk County. Reform that is progressive – that decriminalizes poverty, substance use disorder, and mental illness. This is the time to create a system that puts fairness and equity first – as a model for the Commonwealth and the nation."
Henning, who finished second to Rollins with about 23 percent of the vote, spoke to a gathering of supporters at Dorchester's Florian Hall. He thanked his family and his girlfriend before asking his supporters to congratulate and rally around Rollins: "If Rachel Rollins is the next district attorney in Suffolk County, we need to support her and her efforts to combat gun violence, to address the opioid epidemic, and to help rebuild relationships with people in the community."
Henning appeared disappointed but poised as he noted that the ethics of his campaign never wavered, even in a tight race. "The guiding principle for the campaign was we're never going to do anything we regret. We wouldn't lie, we wouldn't be unethical, we wouldn't go negative…. Even though the outcome is disappointing, we can all look each other in the eye and know we never did any of those things, and be proud of the way we ran this campaign."
Bellwether locations across Dorchester showed the ebb and flow of the dynamics of the DA race. In Ward 13-10 (Savin Hill), Henning took 46 percent of the votes to Rollins' 24.7 percent. He similarly took the double precincts at Florian Hall by 52 and 79 percent to Rollins's 19 and 4 percent, respectively. But Rollins took the double precinct at Lower Mills Library, which pulls in sections of Dorchester and Mattapan, with 39 and 50 percent to Henning's 26 and 22 percent.
Rollins's supporters across the district were elated. The former head of the legal departments at Massport and MassDOT's was seen as the progressives' pick for the post. She had support from national campaigns like Democracy for America and the Real Justice PAC, along with elected officials like state Sen. Sonia Chang-Díaz and Boston City Council President Andrea Campbell.
"I think it's incredible news — it speaks to the voters and the hard work of all the campaigns and their volunteers," Campbell said after the wave of victories was announced. "The voters spoke — and I never trusted polls and I always trust what people say — and they said we want more women, people of color, and we want the electorate to represent the diversity of the district."
Hard work comes first, said Campbell, who ousted a 32-year incumbent in City Councillor Charles Yancey when she won election in 2015. That paid off in every candidate she endorsed, Campbell said, especially Rollins. "People — regardless of demographics, how old they are, diversity, gender, how they identify —want a particular thing, want their electorate to reflect their community."
Tuesday's voting was a forceful showing for women of color running for office. In a statement Tuesday night, the Massachusetts Association of Minority Law Enforcement Officers congratulated Rollins, Liz Miranda in the 5th Suffolk District, Ayanna Pressley in the Massachusetts 7th Congressional District, and attorney Nika Elugardo, who unseated House Ways and Means Chairman Jeffrey Sanchez from his 15th Suffolk seat.
In other balloting, voters across the state opted out of making a change in the Secretary of the Commonwealth's race. Longtime incumbent William Galvin cruised to a 67 percent to 33 percent win over Boston City Councillor Josh Zakim to clinch the Democratic Party's nomination.
One of the few high-profile incumbents to win big on Tuesday, Galvin told the State House News Service that he didn't think there was an anti-incumbent trend, noting that each race has different dynamics. He attributed his victory in part to "my familiarity with the state and the people's familiarity with me. There's not a part of the state in all my time that I haven't been to and spoken with, haven't worked with local officials," he said after addressing supporters at the Stockyard restaurant in Brighton. He will go on to face Swampscott Republican Anthony Amore and Juan Sanchez, a Holyoke resident running on the Green-Rainbow ticket, in November.
Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey, who introduced Galvin at the party, said the results showed "experience and knowledge matters, especially in a job that's so important as protecting our right to vote and making sure that every vote counts."
After conceding the race, Zakim said in a statement that he looks forward to continuing to serve out his third term on the Boston City Council, "a job that I love, representing the most diverse district in Boston and working with smart, progressive and hard-working colleagues." He and his wife Grace are also expecting the birth of a son.
Other races decided last night included Gov. Charlie Baker taking the Republican nomination with 64 percent of the vote, and the Democratic gubernatorial ticket taking shape with Jay Gonzalez (64 percent) and lieutenant governor candidate Quentin Palfrey (59 percent) over Bob Massie and Jimmy Tingle.

Forbes.com just released its list of the highest-paid models, and Gisele Bundchen is at the top for the seventh year in a row.
Bundchen makes seven times more than second-place contender Miranda Kerr and even more than her husband, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
Forbes cites Bundchen's business acumen as the reason for her ranking on the list, noting that she has a fruitful partnership with a Brazilian footwear company, owns a successful eco-friendly cosmetics company and has many multi-year contracts.

University is - or at the very least has the potential to be - the very best years of your life. It's a time for making friends, learning things, not learning things because you overslept, and generally becoming a better, more rounded human being.
It's basically like school but without the parents and with the ability to spend lots of the government's money on alcohol. And you get to drop all the rubbish subjects like Chemistry and focus on something you're genuinely interested in. Even if that genuine interest is in nights out and waking up at midday.
In true student style, we've cobbled together a rag tag list of items that will improve your time at uni immeasurably - unless you have a ruler in which case they're definitely measureable. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but it will hopefully set you off on the right path.
In the mean time, be sure to check out our Back to Uni section, which you can find by clicking here.
Something to write on
When you do decide to rock up to a lecture or two, it might be a good idea to make notes. There will probably be a test. If you like the colour blue and have a bit of self-confidence, this Thoughts & Doodles of an Undiscovered Genius notebook is the perfect choice. From the ever joyful Happy Jackson range, the softback notebook will signal your obvious intelligence to anyone sat next to you.
Or if you're a hardback, this droll notebook from Waldo Pancake is a good bet. The 1970s style laptop will see you through the year with plenty of smirks and wry smiles.
Something to carry things in
Once you've picked something to write on you'll need something to carry the something you're writing on. Simple. We're talking bags and satchels, and we've got quite a selection. For the ladies, how about this Love Lotters satchel from Disaster Designs? Its classic style features faded envelopes, which is much prettier than it sounds, and will be a loyal companion for years to come.
For the boys (lads) style is equally important. Musical taste is an important badge of honour, and it doesn't get much better than the Beatles. Carry John, Paul, George and Ringo with you wherever you go, and with a little help from your friends you can turn a hard day's night into yesterday. I'm sorry, let's just let it be.
Don't forget the kitchen!
Ah, the student kitchen. A minefield of mould, a residence for rats... However clean you like to keep things, the kitchen is somewhere you'll spend a lot of time, whether socialising, cooking or just making a cup of tea. Luckily we've got you covered. This colourful set of nested tins from Happy Jackson will add a splash of vibrancy to the kitchen, maybe even enough to distract you from the massive pile of dirty dishes.
Speaking of dishes, I have some pretty distressing news for you. Washing up is a part of your life from now on. Unless you have a dishwasher, in which case you're cheating. But there are small ways you can make the washing up more tolerable. Turn it into a drinking game is one obvious solution. Another is to spread some happiness and have a bloomin' Washing Up Disco! This Happy Jackson tea towel will help set the mood and get the party started: all you need are some dirty dishes and some tunes - and yes, you're allowed to sing them yourself.

As much as I do not want to say it and would probably get a spanking from WOWP.
Now would be a good time to stop playing and uninstall all remnants of WOWP.
I have been through 2 computers playing WOWP and am on my 3rd.
There were never any problems playing other games and updating them but WOWP always got worse and worse.
With each update my computer would get worse and worse.
Paranoid ? yeah maybe I am. Coincidence, maybe, maybe not.
When this toy starts having problems I will uninstall the game before destroying another system.

I would suggest the following:
- Some cases can be attributed to bad (corrupted) video drivers. I would try uninstall your video drivers with DDU software tool. It's free and you can get it here
- Since you have Nvida drivers, download new video drivers here
- Make sure all software drivers are up to date, such as Windows update. You can also use a free software tool called Driver Booster. It will update your software drivers. You can download it here
- Make sure your system is configured for gaming. You can use a free software tool called Advanced System Care.This will clean up any Windows related problems that you may not know of. You can download it here
- Create a WGCheck file for WG support. You get it here. You can then forward your problem to WG tech support using the WGCheck file.
You need to get the basics cleared before forwarding the issue to WG support. I hope this helps you OP

Well tried is the best description.
First you have to wait an hour or so to get 400mb patch installed.
Right after loading the hangar first a crash to desktop, then go back in the game but then it crashes pc into a reboot.
After a reboot, it loaded the hangar and i could get into the battle, suddenly all sound muted.
Then i was in for a second surprise, controls had been reset and they seem to have completely removed gamepad as controller.
Tried to set up as default joystick, but no response to the stick.
Yet another reboot, game loaded succesfully, sound was ok, could control the airplane but really sluggish.
2 minutes into the game, everything crashed again resulting in a new reboot.
Congratulations, I mean what the hell have they done with this update?
I've always thought it could not get any worse, but man, this goes beyond my imagination.
Does anyone even test these updates in advance?

Spectrum Generations Coastal Community Center, 521 Main Street in Damariscotta will host its Wednesday Lunch and Learn program on August 20 at 11:15am. Following the luncheon author and educator Elissa Wolfson will discuss Great Houses for Great Birds.
Where natural habitat is scarce, birds can benefit from human-provided homes…and humans can benefit from their presence! During the course of her Lunch and Learn presentation Elissa Wolfson will share which birds can use a helping hand and how best to serve their needs. Learn the latest in bird home design for two sets of birds: those that take up residence inside traditional birdhouses, including wood ducks, kestrels, and of course, bluebirds—as well as those such as ospreys, great blue herons and loons that nest on human structures "outside the box." We'll explore the reasons behind birdhouse building, especially where natural habitat is scarce, the latest in birdhouse innovations, and how people everywhere are helping birds by providing them with safe homes.
Elissa Wolfson is an Ithaca, New York-based writer/editor specializing in environmental, veterinary, and ornithological issues. She is author of "101 Cool Games for Cool Cats", and co-author of the Audubon Birdhouse Book (Voyageur Press, 2013), which was produced in association with the National Audubon Society.
The Audubon Birdhouse Book explains how to build and place functional do-it-yourself bird homes that are safe and appropriate for 25 classic North American species. Each of the easy-to-build boxes is accompanied by cut lists, specially created line diagrams, and step-by-step photography, making the projects accessible to those with even the most rudimentary woodworking skills. These projects are the product of years of experience and field-testing, providing sound advice regarding proper design, safe construction materials, and correct birdhouse placement to mitigate exposure to elements, pests, and predators. Copies of Elissa Wolfson's books will be available for signing following the talk.
Advanced Luncheon Reservations are required. Please call 563-1363 by noon on August 18 to make your luncheon reservation and entrée selection (Baked Chicken). For those over 60 years of age the suggested donation is $5.00 per person. For all others Coastal Lunch and Learn program is an affordable dining choice at $6.00 per person.
Can't make it to lunch? Community members are always welcome to attend the Center's Wednesday Learn portion of the day's Lunch and Learn program, which will begin at noon.
If you'd like more information about these topics or Spectrum Generations or would like to schedule an interview with Elissa Wolfson please contact Marianne Pinkham at (207) 563-1363 or e-mail Marianne at email@example.com.

I have never seen this show, and can't even figure out which of these actors are C-list now. You are just a trivia QUEEN Nicki.
You bet I can. I loved this show...
Screech, Zach, Lisa and Mr. Belding.
This was my FAVORITE show as a kid. :D
Best. Show. Ever.
I think the four are Zach, Screech, Lisa and AC Slater. Mostly cause I remember there was a different girl towards the end, Tori, and when Tori was there Kelly and Jessie weren't. I also feel like I remember when Mr. Belding left.
This is why I can't have cable. If I had cable I would be watching a Saved by the Bell marathon right now.
my husband would know that was his fave show!
followed by melrose place and 90210.
happy s day!
Oh god I loved this show (though the special when they went to Hawaii was kinda cheesy). The college years spinoff wasn't as good either.
For some reason the one episode I always remember is the one when Jessie is taking pills to help her stay awake to study longer, and the gang interferes to stop her budding drug problem.
Then Showgirls came out and I was shocked that "Jessie" was in a naughty movie...
Do you remember "Good Morning Miss Bliss"?
i just realized this show was airing during my high school years-from the moment i entered until i graduated. i think i only lasted a year or two watching it though.

BANGOR, Maine — Police are investigating the death of a 1-year-old at an apartment on Bald Mountain Drive, the department said Tuesday.
Police responded to a medical call shortly before 7 a.m. Tuesday, and an officer was still posted outside the apartment in late afternoon.
Every death is deemed "suspicious when it involves the death of a child," said department spokesman Sgt. Paul Edwards on Tuesday afternoon. "It's not that it's suspicious in nature; it's concerning to us when a child is involved."
The call for help came by phone, but Edwards declined to release any other details, including who called police, whether the child was a boy or a girl, whether the child was dead when rescue crews and police arrived or who was at the apartment.
He said no charges were pending and no one was being detained.
A neighbor who asked not to be identified said news of the death was heartbreaking.
"I'm sorry that that happened," she said.
Two adults and the baby moved into the apartment a couple of months ago, she said, but the neighbor didn't know them. "I just saw them go in and out," she said.
The child's body was taken to the state medical examiner's office in Augusta. A representative of the medical examiner's office said Tuesday that an autopsy was scheduled for today.
Edwards said by e-mail that a medical examiner's investigation takes place anytime a child under age 3 dies.
"We'll know more tomorrow," Edwards said Tuesday.
"We have an officer up there now," he added, not indicating why.

Defend your new Angular 2 application from unnecessary use of jQuery! jQuery Defender can scan a github repository or a .zip file and find unwanted uses of jQuery that can be replaced with built-in Angular functions.
Defend your new Angular 2 application from unnecessary use of jQuery! jQuery Defender scans a Github-hosted or a zipped-up repository and finds common uses of jQuery functions that can be replaced with built-in Angular functions. jQuery Defender has multiple commonly-used jQuery methods programmed into it as rules. When a repository is selected the rules are run against it in the background. Then the user can view the different rule hits and source code side by side.
On the homepage you will find two available actions. First, you can browse the implemented rules that the application will scan for. You can do this by clicking on the "Browse Rules" button at the top of the page. Second, you can start scanning an existing code repo in one of two ways: 1. Entering there public github repo information and selecting a tag or branch or entering a commit id. 2. Downloading a repo as a zip file and choosing it for your analysis.
A sample repo that can be used is enagler/defendagainstthis, which contains some sample HTML files that have jQuery in them.
When selected, you'll be taken to the main rules analysis screen where you can view the files that had matching rule hits, accompanied by the rules, and see examples on how to correct them.
On the main rule analysis screen, click on a file on the left hand picker that has number next to it to view the matching issues. Then, you can view the code on the right side along with the problems detected.
Nice design!
As a frequent jQuery-user and fan, this is terrifying for me. But I'll try to judge as fairly as possible.
If it would actually *replace* the errors, it would be truely awesome (for other users), but it is understandable that it doesn't (48h); although it isn't much for the time you could have worked on it.
Nice idea, would be interesting to get some kind of report with all issues after scanning. Doesn't seem to be possible to go up a directory in my results, so after moving down I'll have to scan my entire repo again. :/
Actually pretty useful, and seems to work really well, gj guys.
Very useful app to avoid jQuery as much as possible when using Angular 2.
Very promising app. I like tools which analyse my code and give me some better solutions
Really good looking and useful. But how message like "jQuery's $(document).ready function might not work as intended" message could help us to remove it ?
I really enjoyed parsing some repos and see all this jQuery crap everywhere :D
Good job !
haha~ Interesting Idea :)
Amazing utility. Maybe this can be a terminal utility for ease of use like jslint. Great effort.
Love the idea of building something to help others! I also really like the simplicity of the UI.
good concept
This is actually quite useful. A link to/highlighting of the lines of code affected would be a nice addition.
Good idea, I'm having trouble retrieving repo but could be useful in the future.
nice idea..
Interesting code quality platform. Probably not the best thing to combine jQuery with Angular 2.
Pretty cool idea that seems to work with the large repo I gave it to be tested, there was an interesting problem when it hit 53/60 files and kind of kept hiccuping but overall one of the most useful entries ive seen
I *really* like the premise / promise of this application. Unfortunately, I could not get it to work on the couple of repositories that I tried. A couple times the application just stalled out while analyzing my repository. I think a cool variation of this would be to hook it up to other linters such as eslint-plugin-immutable. Just a thought!
This is a nice app. I really appreciate the /rules section. It would be nice to be able to customize those in the future. That way it could check for things like callback hell, scope issues, etc.
Great work!
Awesome design :)
The project is really good at the moment I'm sure it'll be more awesome with more rules and better rules. Maybe in the future rules can target jQuery api calls using static code analysis instead of relying on regular expressions.
There are many Github repo analysers online but I haven't seen any which can defend ng2-projects against jQuery. So, a perfect score for innovation too.
I liked this entry because it's "cheeky". For the most part it worked when I pointed it against an old angular 1.x / TS repo I have
to improve - console errors happened to me a few times
to improve - I got a false positive on a minified script
good app to show jquery evangelist's ;) what angular has build in
Really useful for help cleaning up and optimising a codebase. The fact it gives proper suggestions is what really makes it powerful.
Good work.
Nice idea for new Angular users. Has a problem where I can lose the current context of the scan and it's not clear how to get back in some places. Still, good job.

I'm usually a bit dubious when Bottega Veneta decides to layer a pattern on top of their signature intrecciato woven leather. The material itself is so beautiful and luxurious that it seem a waste to mask it, and often the extra patterns compete with the weave's natural lines.
This time, though, I think they got it right – the argyle pattern of the Bottega Veneta Argyle Veneta Intrec Argyle Boston Bag works on its own and with the weaving.
The traditional diamond structure of the painted argyle shares some of the diagonal lines of the intrecciato leather without completely mimicking it, which is the key to its success. The rounded edges of the argyle is in contrast to the right angles of the leather, but the two still fit together in a logical and visually pleasing way. From a distance, you don't notice the woven structure, but it provides a nice surprise when the bag is examined close-up. The bag works on both levels, and it provides a great example for how to mix textures and patterns the right way. Buy through Barneys for $2700.

Slideshow | Rockabilly night at Wig Out, featuring Jack Atlantis of the Human Flys, performers on stilts and a doughnut-eating Krys Fox
By Olga Khazan
It was 11:15 p.m. when Jean Spinosa took the stage dressed as an androgynous Freddie Mercury figure in a plaid dress, black wig and a stick-on moustache. Not that Queen had much to do with the night's "Rockabilly" theme, but at Wig Out, anything goes.
First three circus performers, who had erstwhile been clanking around the bar on stilts, came onstage and twirled glowing hula-hoops. Then came Krys Fox, who crammed a dozen doughnuts in his mouth so fast that the chewed fragments flew back out in a sugary, soggy flurry. The crowd didn't seem to mind.
"Wig Out is a crazy, spicy salad of extreme expression," said Kast, an artist whose natural hair is so big he got the $2 "with Wig" discount at the door. "I come out to jump into the salad and move around."
For the cabaret's grand finale, Ian MacKinnon took the stage wearing a pink bouffant wrapped in cheap Mardi-Gras beads and sang a song about the "love between a man and his wig." The object of his affection was played by another man in a blonde wig who jumped on his shoulders as the two finished singing.
One hour, one cabaret. Just the way they like it.
"It's a quick job," MacKinnon said. He and his "wig" practiced the routine only a few times before that night's performance. "Get a fun idea, let's go, let's make it happen."
The performers at Wig Out have been making it happen every month for more than four and a half years now. Just last month, they moved to downtown's HM157, from the more baroque-looking Bordello. Each night starts with a disc jockey and an opening band, followed by what Wig Out organizer Jean Spinosa calls the "cabaret." It's a Vaudeville-style show in which performance artists do their thing - be it doughnuts, hula hoops or um..."other."
"One guy ate a goat heart once," MacKinnon said. "I was like, 'Is that a sponge?!' and Jean was like, 'That's a real goat heart!'"
The point of the cabaret, it seems, is art for art's sake. That, or art for the sake of the artists. Jack Atlantis is the lead singer of the Human Flys, a Cramps cover band that performed for the Rockabilly night's opening set. For him, the cabaret portion is reminiscent of the eponymous Broadway play.
"It's kind of like the unusual surrealistic performances you might see in the early part of the 20th century in Germany," he said. Already chock-full of fishnets and flamboyance, all Rockabilly night lacked was Liza Minnelli.
The history of Wig Out is almost as random as the acts it comprises. Spinosa, who is an actress living in West Hollywood, said the idea for the event came to her like most of her brilliant ideas do.
"I was totally in a deep, deep sleep, and I woke up - like, jumped up - in the middle of the night and thought, 'Wig Out!'" she said. "The first thing I thought was, I need to call my best friend Jana. She picked up the phone, and I said, 'Wig Out!' and she said, 'Get your wig on!'"
"She knows me so well," she added.
Jana's exclamation became the event's catchphrase, and each month Spinosa works a new theme into it. For nerd night, it was, "Get your nerd on." Accordion night? "Get your squeeze on." A special May 8 performance at the Devil's Night Drive-In was "Get your smoke on" to match the night's movie, "Up in Smoke."
Each time, Spinosa wears a different wig and performs a different character to match. For Dada night, she spoke in gibberish.
"It was a mix of fake Russian and a bunch of other languages," she said.
The performers practice their routines only a few times before the night of the show. But they say you don't need practice when you've got a wig.
"We rehearse a couple times and try to develop what would be most fun for us," MacKinnon said. "It's almost like the wig does it - you put it on and peoples' perceptions of you change."
One frequent Wig Out performer, whose stage name is Auntie Biotic, said the homemade, improvisational feeling is part of the aesthetic. Before the event changed venues to Bordello, Spinosa would set the scene at Hollywood's M Bar with props like a bedazzled mannequin, which she made using craft-store glitter and Elmer's glue.
She made her own costumes, and those of her friends, from the veritable prop shop that is her one-bedroom apartment. A cabinet holding 64 types of buttons sits where a TV would normally go. Cabinet drawers are stuffed with everything from rubber chickens to pink sunglasses.
"It's not about buying stuff, or moving up and up and up. You have to improvise," Biotic said. She used to imagine what it would be like to make her own music videos for songs she heard on the radio. With Wig Out, she doesn't have to imagine anymore. "It's about feeding that creativity within yourself and satisfying it," she said.
Before long, the event had amassed a loyal following of about 150 regulars who embrace the chance to take a break from reality. No longer contained just to downtown, they perform occasional special shows at other venues, and they're considering going on a West Coast tour.
"It's just gotten stronger over the years, like a machine," Spinosa said. "But a magical, sparkly glitter machine."
Not to mention, she said, it's a welcome respite from the hustle of urban life.
"It's necessary to have Wig Out to really, severely let loose and not care what anyone thinks," Spinosa said. "Especially in a big business city like Los Angeles."
At one point during the Rockabilly performance, Spinosa lifted her dress to show off a pair of women's underwear with a very noticeable bulge in front. She reached in, tugged at the bulge and pulled out a Strawberry Shortcake sock.
"It's what I figured Freddie Mercury's penis would be shaped like," she explained.
Part of Wig Out's appeal is its friendliness toward the gay, bisexual, transgender and drag communities. As an occasional drag performer, Spinosa said that in the past, other drag queens would sometimes look down on her at performances because she's not a man. But Wig Out gives her and others a chance to assume whatever gender or identity they want.
"With Wig Out, I can be a man, or a woman dressed as a man, or a man dressed as a woman," Spinosa said. "Or I can be a fucking panda."
But most of all, it's Wig Out's unadulterated exuberance that keeps its regular performers coming back and encourages new performers to give it a shot. Sometimes the talent at Wig Out is amazing, said Joseph Newhouse, a singer who came to Rockabilly night. But sometimes it's ordinary, and that's just fine.
"It's childlike play taken to its glamorous maximum," he said. "If you work too hard at channeling your creativity toward something studied and precise, that's great. But every now and then you have to put on a silly wig."

My SIL and Daughter before Sky Diving last fall prior to his leaving for a tour of duty in Afghanistan.
Last October, the time came when he was called up for his turn to serve in the desert.
He had this photo enlarged and made into a canvas print. He sent it to her for their anniversary. They've missed all their first's this year. First Thanksgiving, First Christmas, First Anniversary.
Finally, he returns from Afghanistan in roughtly eight more Monday's –give or take, based on any changes the Marine's may make. He made the Yahoo News letting off steam in the tire rolling contest.
My first thought was that the tire would roll much easier the other way. My daughter explained that evidently the point is flipping it over and over. My SIL is a big guy so that tire is a monster.
My daughter is anxious for him to return home safe. We all are. He adores Caylen and treats her like a queen. He's a man among men and so my hero for this Sunday, and most any day, is My Son In Law, Robert Gallini, Alpha Marine. A real romance hero.

Remember back in February when I lamented not paying more attention to my mom making popovers? Well, I finally made steps towards mastering the popover, with my mom's help. Last week she sent an email to my sister, one of her brothers, and me with an article about popovers and a recipe. "We should make them in honor of Daisy Nana this weekend!" she wrote. So I did!
Daisy Nana was my mother's grandmother. I don't know how my other family members remember her, but I remember her as someone who started the love of popovers in our family and created the fear of the double-ding bats in small misbehaving children. (No, I don't know what the double-ding bats are and I think the point is the idea of them is scary enough that you want to be so good that you never have to know.)
Popovers were a special occasion breakfast in my family. Mostly for Maggie's birthday but also for the occasional holiday or special visitor. For being a special occasion breakfast, they are super easy!
There's a hot oven method and a cold oven method to popovers. Daisy Nana, my mom, and the recipe my mom sent all use the cold oven method. Daisy Nana's recipe was so close to the recipe in the article so I just used the recipe in the article. I liked that the article called for an extra 1/4 teaspoon of salt. We like our salt in our household. There were a few other differences between the two recipes. First, Daisy Nana turned her oven down to 350 degrees for the last five minutes and this recipe called for the oven to remain at 450 degrees for the last five minutes. Second, Daisy Nana used custard cups but I used muffin tins. My mom uses muffin tins, too.
Doesn't all the sunshine in these photos make you so happy? Oh, Spring, keep doing your best to get here and stay here!
I was pretty happy with the way these turned out, although they didn't really pop. I need more practice. The next time I make popovers, I'm going to follow Daisy Nana's approach to oven temperature, but stick with the extra salt and muffin tins. Here's her recipe:
1 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
Mix all ingredients together and pour batter into greased custard cups or muffin tin. Place in a cold oven. Bake at 450 for 25 minutes. Reduce eat to 350 for 5 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven. Puncture to let steam escape. Serve hot.

Why ten? 10 year olds are still "kids" and enjoy much of the innocence and wonder in the world of childhood. Not quite pre-teens with all of the hormones and angst that arises from the struggles of growing up, 10 year olds are kind of a perfect mix of little kid and big kid.
It's a sweet spot.
And so, I take them on trips. Nothing over the top like flying across the world, but somewhere relatively close, affordable, and unique to their interests. The other qualifying marker is that the trip must be somewhere where neither of us has ever gone before. :)
I took Justin to Mammoth Cave.
And tomorrow, Corinne and I will travel to West Virginia to zip line through the mountains, kayak in the morning quiet, raft in white water for a full day, hike and climb and spend quality time together where we can listen to our music, be silly and giggle, and simply enjoy our bond as Mother and Daughter.
If you know me even a little bit, you probably know that I am quite nostalgic and wistful concerning my kids and the speed at which they are moving through their childhoods. Whenever my youngest completes a milestone, it is all the more poignant knowing that this particular moment is the last of its kind for our family. This week will be the final Mother-Child-10-year-old-spectacular-vacation. Knowing just how distant the boys' special vacations already feel in my heart only cements my need to sigh wistfully and feel poetic about her dirty feet and swiftly growing limbs.
To put it succinctly, I feel as though this is the final "sandcastle" on this particular beach...
Ready or not; Here comes the tide.

This 3-In-1 Appliance Will Cook Your Whole Damn Breakfast
Let's be real here: it's a miracle if you have enough time to brew coffee on most mornings, let alone make and eat a full breakfast. But if you enjoy the luxury of eating breakfast and need to get your required servings of fried eggs, sausage, and buttered toast for the day, then 1) lucky you and 2) there's a brilliant 3-in-1 appliance for that.
It's called the '50s-Style 3-in-1 Breakfast Station and you can use it to cook your whole damn breakfast -- if you're willing to give up the kitchen counter space. The coffee maker/toaster/griddle will let you toast four slices of bread, brew four cups of coffee, and even fry/grill eggs, sausage, bacon, or whatever other breakfast meats you enjoy -- all at the same time. You'll just have to get over the machine's glossy, nostalgia-inducing design.
Obviously, making your coffee, eggs, and bacon are easy enough with the separate kitchen appliances that you already own, so unless breakfast is your thing, dropping 70 bucks or so on the novelty product doesn't make much sense. If, for some reason, you feel compelled to impulse-buy one of the things, you should probably check out this all-in-one frying pan, too. Also, we're sorry.

anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, beets, colon, cooking, fiber, foods, marinated, onion, pickle, recipe, vegan, vegetarian, vinegar
I love beets! They are nutritious, filling and delicious.
Beets have natural nitrates, which lower your blood pressure and improve blood flow. They also contain high level of antioxidants and their anti-inflammatory properties make them a powerful protector against cancer. The fibers in beets (and carrots) are beneficial for our digestive track (help to fight against colon cancer) and support our cardiovascular system.
Here is a recipe for a fast and easy marinated beets dish that packs in a lot of flavor. Perfect as a side dish and great addition to a salad. Portable and chilled, this beet dish is great for pot luck or picnic as well.
Ingredients: (serving 4)
- 4 beets, cubed
- 1/2 of an onion, cubed
- 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup of water
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic
- Salt and pepper
- Cook the beets (peeled) into a saucepan filled with water, and bring it to a boil in medium heat. Once the water is boiled, turn the heat to low and let the beats simmer for another 15 minutes. Note: avoid overcooking as they will be in the skillet later.
- Remove the beets and cut them into cubes.
- In a skillet, cook the cut onion and garlic in olive oil until they become translucent. Add the cut beets, then season with salt and pepper. Toss the mixture for ~3 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, combine the vinegar, sugar, olive oil and water together, and whisk the mixture until the ingredients are properly mixed.
- Place the cooked beets/onion/garlic into a sealable container, and pour the vinegar mixture over it.
- Let it marinate in the refrigerator for ~1 hour, and it is ready!

I run my hands frantically across a series of neurokinetic relays, desperately trying to maintain control of the Host Body. Don't fucking do it, Kent. Don't—
Ah, Christ. I slap the top of my forehead with my squidgy little palm, wincing in disgust as Kent Wayne (the Host Body) picks a giant boogey out from his panty-sniffer and jams it deep into his mouth.
Kent only possesses bits and pieces of a real brain. In lieu of a frontal cortex, he's got me: True Hamster.
Motherfucker's thirteen years old. Not only has he never been kissed, the extent of his poon-game is limited to a furtive "hi" as he passes by a rando girl in the hallway, in the breaks between classes. And as you just saw, dude still eats his own boogers. No excuse for this—none whatsoever.
What to do, what to do, what to do…hmmm…I sit back on my intrahaptic rig, folding my nubby left forepaw over my chest while tapping my lip with my right index claw. The irony is all too apparent. I'm an 83rd level intellect, able to circumvent twenty percent of the constraints imposed upon us by space and time, yet when it comes to this foam-faced doofus, I can barely manage to keep him from pooping his pants. His idiocy—don't get me started on his lack of social acumen—knows no bounds.
On the HBM (Host Body Monitor—the crystal holographic that connects directly to his optic nerve) I see him popping the top on a fresh can of paste. What the…
And then the esophageal speakers crackle with: "Mmm—YUMMO!'
My paws kick into 7th gear, dancing across some burnt-out overrides. It's no use—they're at the end of their life, due to my constant efforts to keep him from eating dog biscuits, lip balm, and a shit-ton of other stuff that I really don't want to talk about. FUCK!
My eyes steel over. No options left. I open my eReader to Echo, activating its reality distortion powers. Magic flash.
A surge of testosterone, HGH, and neurotrophic growth factors wash through the Host Body, transforming him from a spindly-wienered geek into a full-on Man Whore. (Good thing he's wearing jeans and sneakers; he needs long pants to hide his girthy shaft, and he needs socks to secure his glans.)
Data streams across the HBM,
Then the audio starts up again: "I said GodDAMN! I'm a dick-slangin' Man Whore–watch out, Soccer Moms!"
I breathe a shaky sigh of relief, but something in the depths of my mind tells me this is far from over. I'm now in charge of Kent the Man Whore…
Fuck my life.

I have post holiday blues! We've recently returned from a two glorious weeks in sunny Cornwall, I know, we always go to Cornwall but we love it so much! We stayed with the same company that we've stayed with before, Forever Cornwall, but this time in a lovely little barn in the hills between the north and south coast. We are creatures of habit returning to the same place, but I like to look forward to my holiday and we take great comfort in knowing where we're going and planning our adventures before we set off.
It usually takes me a few days to get into holiday mode and unwind, so to have two weeks away was just bliss and it was so easy to unwind in such a beautiful house. Although I have a giant mound of washing that we've brought back with us.
The boys freely roamed the meadows around the barn; playing cricket in the garden, feeding carrots to the ponies and picking blackberries from the bountiful hedgerows, staining their fingers in the process!
We tried to get to the beach as much as possible to take advantage of the good weather and swim in the sea, it's amazing how children entertain themselves on a beach, making friends, searching for shore crabs in the rock pools and making sandcastles!

Review Fix chats with singer/songwriter Fantine, who discusses her new single "What A Day," featuring Wyclef Jean, as well as her goals for 2016, which include more single and a full album release.
Review Fix: How was "What A Day" written? What inspired it?
Fantine: "What A Day" was written in the most chilled ways possible. We were stirring in Clef's (Wyclef Jean) home studio just catching vibes seeing what sticks. Now, I have this tendency to just sing random tunes at random times. I'm sure that's an affliction a lot of singers have. So I'm sitting there singing Tina Turner's Private Dancer.
All the men come in these places and the men are all the same… Clef and I both agree that that's an awesome tune, and I admit wanting to cover it someday. That's when he says why don't we just write our own. So that's how it started.
Review Fix: How do you think your unique background affects your music?
Fantine: I suppose my background and my musical style are now inseparable, but it took a little bit of a while of trial and error to get the perfect blend. I'm happy to say that these days my music truly represents me. It's true that every now and then I will write songs that will lean more in one direction or another, take on more of one aspect of my background that some other, but even so, they rarely fall squarely into any particular genre.
Review Fix: What inspires your style?
Fantine: My musical style is inspired by my background, but also by my musical influences, peers and fellow writers. It's amazing how much I've learned about melody, harmony, instrumentation and so on, from co-writing with other creative people or listening to the music of artists who's work I esteem.
Review Fix: How did it feel to work with Wyclef?
Fantine: A lot of times meeting new people and being thrown into a room to write together can be daunting. Especially someone as well know as Wyclef. But I'm glad to say that it was incredibly easy. The melodies and lyrics came quite naturally and I was given ample room to make my own suggestions and bring forth my own ideas. I'm really pleased that Wyclef made it so simple for me.
Review Fix: What was filming the video like?
Fantine: One word: Hectic! I think that making music videos in general can be intense. But this was really something else. The director Connor Van Vuuren and I spent weeks in preproduction getting the concept of the video down, then we sat down with the team and discussed all the moving parts, from location to props, to costumes/hair and makeup. It was quite crazy really. Between all the costume changes, hair changes, makeup change, all the different scenes and the amount of props. Thankfully we had a fantastic crew who made sure everything ran on time and in its proper order. Overall a high-energy, intensely entertaining couple of days in Miami, and one more day in Sydney (Australia).
Review Fix: What are your goals musically?
Fantine: My goals musically are quite simple: keep doing music for as long as I possibly can. Keep writing with and for as many artists as possible. Continue to be inspired to create on a daily (or weekly, let's be real ) basis. I suppose my overall goal is longevity and the ability to perform live to an audience.
Review Fix: What's next?
Fantine: What's next? More of the same, please. More singles, a full album (some time in spring 2016?). And then more singles, and albums, and tours. It's the circle of life. Haha

The Commodity Trade Index (CTI) is a new industry benchmark which assesses the role of 10 key commodities trading hubs within the global commodity trade. It looks at 10 countries across 4 continents and evaluates each state based on three large groups of factors: commodity endowment, institutions, and location.
Locational and trading
partner factors
- 1. Headquarter locations of major commodities trading houses
- 2. Proximity to markets (based on commodity export data)
- 3. Commodity trade partner tariffs on primary goods
endowment factors
- 4. Tons of oil exported annually
- 5. Hub's share of global commodity trade for coffee, grains, sugar, gold, diamonds, soya beans, tea, cotton, silver, animals and animal products, and plastic
- 6. Natural resource rents as a share of GDP
- 7. Financial services infrastructure
- 8. Attractiveness of the tax regime
- 9. Strength of contract enforcement
- 10. Ease of trading across borders
The UAE ranks first on the Commodity Trade Index primarily due to its high score for natural resource endowments. The US and UK come second and third respectively.

Ultra-high-speed in-flight connectivity via Ka-band satellites is on the horizon for commercial and business aircraft operators following Inmarsat's decision to develop a global network of Ka-band satellites for its new I-5 constellation.
Inmarsat has commissioned Boeing to deliver three state-of-the-art Ka-band satellites to serve as the backbone of a new global mobile broadband service called Global Xpress, which will offer speeds of up to 50MB/s.
The London-based firm says it will initially focus on providing Global Xpress to the maritime, energy and government sectors. UAVs and government systems, for instance, represent a prime opportunity. To wit, Boeing has pre-committed to capacity purchases representing more than 10% of Inmarsat's target Ka-band revenues in the first five years after global service launch.
Boeing has also opted to become a distribution partner for Inmarsat's Ka- and current L-band services.
"The programme itself is $1.2 billion, which we'll spend over the next three years bringing Inmarsat Global Xpress to market. That includes obviously the satellite, the launch, insurance, but also the ground segment that will be integrated to create an overall network," says Inmarsat Enterprises senior vice-president Rupert Pearce.
Pertinent to commercial and business aircraft operators, however, is the fact that Inmarsat also sees "further growth potential in developing markets such as the aeronautical sector" for Ka services.
The timeframe for bringing Ka-band-based connectivity on board civil aircraft is unclear, as it depends on a number of variables, including the speed at which avionics are built to support such service, certifications, and the response of airframers and airlines.
However, in-flight entertainment and connectivity (IFEC) hardware manufacturer Thales has already made clear it is likely to offer a Ka-band-centred solution to market.
"We're pretty strong believers in Ka-band ourselves. We think it has a number of advantages that we see as compared to Ku [based in-flight connectivity]. We anticipate that there will be a very strong service provider behind it that can provide global coverage with a minimum number of satellites, a continuity of coverage throughout the world which Ku-band does not offer. So we do see it as a natural transition point for us in the future," Thales' head of in-flight entertainment Alan Pellegrini told ATI and Flightglobal at the recent Farnborough air show.
Inmarsat will continue to drive the growth of its L-band satellite-based services, including its fastest-growing product SwiftBroadband, which runs over the Inmarsat I-4 constellation and supports in-flight connectivity solutions on offer from Thales, OnAir and others.
"SwiftBroadband is the best solution for in-flight connectivity available today. With the announcement of the I-5 constellation Inmarsat has shown that we will be able to support our customers in the future when their needs grow," says Inmarsat head of marketing aeronautical business Lars Ringertz.
Inmarsat will also use the I-5 constellation to complement its existing L-band services "allowing us to offer unique hybrid packages using both networks, giving users unprecedented levels of resilience and reliability in remote and harsh environments".
Thales' main competitor, Panasonic Avionics, has largely focused its connectivity strategy on Ku-band satellites, and has secured several customers for its in-flight high-speed Internet, live television and Ku-band-based mobile connectivity. However, the firm is understood to be exploring its Ka-band options as well.
"With the Global Xpress network, we will be the first operator to offer global mobile broadband coverage, offering unparalleled speeds and bandwidth to customers in remote locations around the world. Global Xpress will be faster and less expensive than current Ku-band market offerings, delivered to smaller and cheaper terminals and be the first offered on a seamless, global, end to end basis with high quality of service. Picture 50MB/s services to a ship or aircraft and 10MB/s to an antenna the size of an [Apple] iPad (20cm)," says Inmarsat chairman and CEO Andrew Sukawaty.
Inmarsat is targeting $500m of annual Ka-band revenues five years after global service launch.

محمد بن راشد آل مكتوم
How often do you get to see a major world leader ride a horse in Kentucky? Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, ruler of Dubai (and also Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates), will be heading a team of riders in the October 14 Kentucky Cup Endurance race. The event is an official test for the World Equestrian Games to be held in Lexington, KY in 2010.
Sheikh Mohammed became Crown Prince of Dubai in 1995, and spent the next decade as the nation's de facto leader. He officially became the Ruler of Dubai on January 4, 2006.
He owns 99.67 percent of Dubai Holding, which in turn owns and/or controls Dubai Knowledge Village, The Tiger Woods Dubai Golf Resort, Six Flags Dubailand, the Jumeirah Hotels, Dubai Group Financial, and much more. He has also overseen the development of projects like the artifical Palm Islands and the luxury Burj Al Arab, which by some determinations is the world's second tallest hotel.
He is also promoting the construction of Burj Khalifa (pictured above), which is now the tallest free-standing structure in the world. When it is completed before year's end, it will officially become the world's tallest building at 818 meters tall. (By comparison, the Empire State Building is 449 meters, Louisville's Aegon Tower is 167 meters, Lexington's Financial Center is 125 meters, and The Ascent in Covington is 89 meters.)
For further information on his adventures, you can follow Sheikh Mohammed's Twitter feed or his Facebook account. What a world.

At first glance of this guy in a top hat, I totally thought it was an Abraham Lincoln impersonator.

Nicosia, I thought the same thing! That was a photo of him at some gala event in Scotland but I couldn't resist using it since he looked so old-money old-school old-Louisville Kentuckian in it.
Melissa, right you are.

MILLERSPORT – It's a dream come true for the Walnut Township School District. Millersport High School Principal Charles Leedle said the district has needed an all weather running track for many, many years, and finally the stars aligned; an all weather track is currently under construction and should be complete by July. "This has been a long time dream for us," he said.
Heiberger Paving of Canal Winchester is charging $316,571 for the eight-lane track. Claypool Electric of Lancaster will remove all six stadium light poles, replacing them with four poles with more lights at a cost of $110,000.
The $426,571 cost will be offset by a $25,000 Columbus Foundation grant, the track and field committee raised $25- $30,000 in donations and the athletic boosters pledged a portion of the $25-30,000 for equipment and construction. Developer Andy Wolfe donated $10,000 and Leedle said still more funding may be coming. The school district's share will come from the Certificate of Participation bonds sold last year to fund capital improvements.
Millersport Head Coach Ken Keener said the track and field committee was formed about a year and half ago to find some way to replace the district's old limestone track with a sealed polyurethane track, upgrade the lights, and possibly add restrooms.
Leedle said Weldon Ice Cream's Marilyn Pierce was instrumental in securing grants. "She's been fantastic support for us," he said. Once the track's complete, Leedle hopes to hold a league meet or an invitational, but most of all he'll be happy to have a safe place for students to run and train. "We have a strong commitment to track and field for a school that really didn't have a track," said Leedle.
Keener said the track will be open to the community for walking or running (not skateboards or bicycles) and the target completion date is July 1.
Leedle said the intention is for the track to be ready for fall sports.
"The kids are really excited about it," said Keener. He said the all-weather track will need to be resurfaced and re-sealed about every eight or nine years. "We'll have a nice looking campus the community can be proud of," said Keener.

When Amazon sellers look at their financials for 2016, they typically look at everything they've done and what is working in the current online retail environment.
Here at Skubana, we're already thinking about your next steps for 2017 and how you need to prepare for what's ahead.
Amazon has made some major changes recently, where the survival of many Amazon sellers just got much slimmer.
With these changes, we've learned some new lessons and have given thought about what you need to implement in 2017 to win on Amazon's marketplace.
Let's dive into some 2017 tactics that we believe will drive your business forward in the New Year.
✔ 2017 is an only-the-strong survive environment on Amazon
In 2016, we lived through a very wild-west Amazon seller era and now Amazon has made moves to reign it in.
With the Amazon incentivized review prohibition, we believe Amazon will empower third-party Amazon sellers (those that sell ON Amazon) to use it's internal and trusted Vine Review program, which has been traditionally only available to first-party Amazon Vendor Central Clients (those that sell TO Amazon).Those outside Amazon review tools you were using will simply become Amazon deal sites, and many of them that didn't have software will just disappear.
Key Takeaway: Once you get offered the Amazon Vine program in 2017, leverage it immediately.
Every Tom, Dick and Harry "private labeler" used to be able to source a product on Alibaba and game the system with fake reviews to boost their rank against competitors.
Let's face it: Those days are over and the playing field is now level, forcing sellers to pay for Amazon Sponsored Product Ads to get impressions and hopefully conversions.
Moreover, with the brand gating policy that Amazon initiated, counterfeiters will be squeezed out but it also will affect the small seller that was arbitraging and the reseller that doesn't have the money to pay the gating fee for each brand.
Key Takeaway: On Amazon, you can no longer "give-to-play" – we are in a pay-to-play environment. You need to leverage Amazon Sponsored Ads and spend to make on Amazon going forward. Let the best and STRONGEST man or woman win.
✔ Amazon sellers that have been "Amazon'd" will finally diversify to other sales channels.
We always say Amazon is like a gateway drug, once you get going it's hard to stop. But it's a great place to start, it's not a great place to finish.
Sellers who have been banking on Amazon for these past years and were comfortable just got what I call Amazon'd (or in other words Shook up).
Amazon is really the decider and in control of Amazon sellers fate. With the recent changes Amazon has made and what the changes we foresee Amazon will continue to make, pressures traditional Amazon only sellers to diversify their revenue stream onto other sales channels.
Key Takeaway: Selling on Amazon is just a sales channel, not a business. Amazon sellers will seek diversification and look to alternatives such as Jet.com and Walmart.com and countless other channels along with building their own shopping cart. Sellers are going to have to move beyond their 15 go-to Amazon only tools and find a solution to support their business so they can finally scale their operations.
✔ Video is going mainstream within Amazon product listing pages
2017 is the year of video for e-commerce, and it will be leveraged by Amazon for it's high-volume marketplace sellers. We believe Amazon sellers will be able to create video content under secondary photos, which has traditionally only been available to 1P Vendor Central clients.
Furthermore, based on our hunch that Amazon will launch Vine reviews for third-party Amazon sellers, Amazon will allow for more videos or perhaps take more of a referral fee to ask their Vine review clubs to leave Amazon video reviews.
Have you seen the Amazon related video Shorts on many Amazon listing pages?
Bottom line here is attention spans are decreasing, less consumers are reading and Amazon has all the data showing video has a HUGE impact on conversions to buy box checkout. Video must be part of your 2017 strategy.
✔ More Amazon US sellers will find new revenue streams across the world
There are specific international marketplaces that seem to be taking off better than others. Europe is the 2nd biggest market for Amazon with Amazon.de, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.fr, Amazon.es, and Amazon.it.Tapping into Amazon's European customer base gets you access to another 300 million customers and is a HUGE opportunity to gain first mover advantage. Most Amazon sellers are so focused on the US and aren't willing to put in the work to get into international markets.
Nail down the following tactics and watch your business expand globally:
– translate your Amazon listing with a native speaker (not a robot)
– figure out VAT compliance
– decide on your customer support policy
– get a operational platform like Skubana that supports all international FBA warehouses
– understand how to ship your product or get your FBA logistics squared away.
✔ Conclusion
Competing on Amazon is not easy and it's only getting harder.
Knowing what to do right now to win in 2017 is the most important thing for your business right. Planning is 90% of winning.
Luckily for you, we've shown you exactly what to focus on in the coming year.
Remember, in business there will always be surprises, especially on Amazon. Changes are inevitable, but what's best is to learn from it and make the most out of it!
So get out there and start doing what your competition is not doing.
What is your best retail trend to capitalize on for 2017?
