In less than two years, Welltodo founder Lauren Armes has started a media business on the other side of the world to where she was born, pivoted it, and branched out into events. We spoke to her to find out about how her enterprise – and the wellness industry as a whole – has grown so quickly.
Having grown up and gone to university in Australia, Armes originally moved to London to work in business development for a global architecture firm. When she arrived in the UK capital, it was obvious to her that the wellness market was one with plenty of potential.
"Though it was more developed in the US and Australia, where there's more of that culture of outdoor fitness, active living and healthy eating – all the things that make up what I now consider to be the wellness industry – it was obviously very fast growing," she said.
With the proliferation of boutique fitness studios and indoor spinning classes like Psycle, as well as a growing demand for healthy food and stylish activewear, Armes spotted an opportunity in a growing market and moved to launch a UK-based digital publication covering consumer trends in the industry.
Despite being thousands of miles away from home, starting up a business in a city she had only recently moved to didn't phase the Welltodo founder, who embraced the challenge. "Generating a network from scratch in a new place was very daunting, but quite exciting too," Armes explained.
"On a scale of one to ten, it was probably a nine in terms of risk, but I was confident that the job I was doing probably wasn't right for me, and the career path which I was following wasn't what I wanted to do, so it was the perfect time for me in my life to take that risk, with minimal responsibility outside of looking after myself. But I knew it was a rapidly evolving industry, and that gave me confidence too."
When she made the decision to launch her own company, Armes faced the additional hurdle of only having six months left on her UK visa, creating a sense of urgency which many entrepreneurs would shy away from. "The way I saw things, it was kind of now or never – if I'd taken the leap and it hadn't worked out, I could have gone back to Australia and potentially gone back to a business development job there, but I knew if it did work out I would stay," she explained.
Though the concept of an authoritative wellness source proved popular, Armes quickly realised that her readers were not those consumers she had initially targeted, but entrepreneurs, startup owners and brand representatives. Given her background in the B2B space, pivoting meant making better use of her personal strengths, too, so the decision to shift her company's focus from consumers to industry leaders made sense.
The decision also led her to branch out into events, which now provide most of the company's revenue. The first one Armes organised saw Ella Woodward – better known as Deliciously Ella – headline, and sold out quickly. "At the time, she was quite symbolic of where the industry was going, and the emerging clean eating movement. But our event was the first time she spoke about the business side of what she does, as an entrepreneur as well as an author. Prior to that, we'd heard about her lifestyle movement but we hadn't heard about how she was turning it into such a powerful empire."
In the last year, her three-person team has expanded its scope to include a careers site and consulting for new wellness startups – with adapting to customer needs driving the decisions each time. "We realised that, amongst our readership, it's not just about launching or owning businesses in the space – many of our readers want to work in the wellness industry too, especially if they're in the corporate world but passionate about health."
For brands in the industry, she thinks the biggest challenge is finding access to the capital needed to scale. "As the market gets more crowded, it's harder for young brands to gain the traction needed to compete with some of the more established players in the market – they need capital, but there are only really a handful of active investors who really understand the wellness landscape and have proven the value of their investments," Armes explained.
But despite these challenges, the level of support that established players are willing to give young companies makes the space an attractive one to small company owners. "It's easier to make connections and get people to work together than in other B2B space," she said.
"Most entrepreneurs and business owners are quite friendly with the competitors, everyone is really supporting each other in their passion for making peoples' lives better and making it easier for other entrepreneurs as well."
This attitude is what has allowed Armes to take the events side of her business to the next level – but also what she hopes to build on with the forthcoming Business of Wellness summit on 4 June. Organised with the support of BarreCore co-founder Andrea DeBellis, the conference will bring together startups, investors and industry leaders to make the most of the growing community in the space.
"Many of those passion founders are ambitious too, and want to grow their businesses into successful companies," Armes said. "In the wellness industry it's important to have an authentic brand because you're saying to someone I can make your life better by consuming this product or service, so having a story behind you is a strong point of difference, but we've proven that there is also demand for knowledge to help people with lots of passion turn that passion into a viable business."

Although to be fair I'm missing out an integral part of the story, although I had an inner knowing spontaneously and just knew that rap and poetry was all I wanted to do. Shortly after I moved to Bristol I had an experience that convinced me beyond a shadow of a doubt that the most important thing I could do was spread love, money, fame etc, all of that fades but in a world where nothing lasts forever and we're just concepts anyway and nothing really matters the only thing I could never regret was spreading as much love as possible. That was an initiation that was not like any cliche, out of any formal druidic or shamanic order but more powerful than most of my spiritual experiences. and I'd almost forgotten just how important it was.

There are a ton of "life hacks" out there that help make every day life easier. Being a wheelchair user, or being with a wheelchair user brings a whole new set of daily challenges and a whole new world of tips and tricks to help tackle those challenges. Here is a list of wheel love life hacks that we find save time, effort and make our day to day lives a little less stressful.
- Hand Sanitizer – We tend to forget more times than not that our mens hands are like us walking around barefoot. What is on the ground or what they wheels through ends up on their hands. On that note, as a disclaimer : dog poop, gum and spit are wheelchairs worst nightmares… and the partners they hold hands with! Be considerate of what goes on the ground!
- That being said, another great hack for wheelchair users are GLOVES! They protect your hands from blisters, filth and dog poop! It's a win-win.
- Cup Holders – A lot of our friends, including our men, attach cup holders down by their castors. Some use double cup holders for the more crazier nights, haha! These are obviously a more convenient way to hold your drink and wheel at the same time without spilling it all over your lap. Plus it means we aren't carrying two drinks everywhere.
- Pouches- Most wheelchair users will have a pouch under their chair. This allows them to carry their cell phone, wallet, keys, medical equipment and whatever else they may need without having to balance it all on their lap, or weigh down our purses. Don't tell anyone, but it is also a great place to hide booze or it's a great place for our lip-gloss as well.
- Baby Wipes – this is pretty self explanatory but we go through these holy white sheets of goodness like candy. You can never have enough baby wipes for any situation. If you're a new wheelchair user, you will find out very quickly these things are life savers. Not only are they great for the person in the wheelchair, but they come in handy for us able bodies as well! Trick: Did you stand too close to your love and end up with a tire track on your pants? Or pass them a tire and accidentally hit your chest and end up with a smudge mark on your jacket? Baby wipe it! They are great for emergency tire track removal.
- Tire pump/patch kit – We always thought this was a little over kill to take with you all the time, that is until our friend Stu got a flat tire in Disney World and was saved by a hand pump! Or until Shawn got a flat in Vegas but conveniently had small CO2 canisters in his pouch. These things have actually saved us on a number of occasions, especially while travelling. What are the chances, for quads sake!?
- Light Switch Near the Bed – Having a light switch very close to our bed has saved us many nights and mornings having to get out of bed to either turn the light on or off. Seems like quite a small thing right? But in the long run this is one little trick that we are very grateful for. They even make light switches now that you can turn on and off with your phone. They are super easy to install if you aren't able to put a switch by your bed.
- Bars on the Bed Frame – Ok all you dirty minds out there, this is not what you think… although sometimes it helps haha! James and Chelsea have a bed frame that just so happens to have bars on it (see picture below), not medical bars. This bed frame has been extremely useful for James getting dressed and getting in and out of bed. Again, seems like a small thing but for a wheelchair user these things are huge.
- Spray Bottles – Depending on a person's injury level or disability some people get over heated quite easily during those hot summer days. We have found it's always great to carry a spray bottle around to prevent people from getting too hot before it's too late.
- Magic Erasers – Mr Clean to the rescue! Seriously, these things are a God send. They get rid of chair scuff marks on anything, walls, baseboards, cupboards… and even dirty fingerprints from our wheel love's using walls to turn corners!
- Paristeen – Everyone has different routines when it comes to bowels, but if you are one of those people that has struggled with finding something that works for you or you're tired of spending hours in the bathroom, then the Paristeen will change your entire life. Shawn's bowels were a constant struggle and now it is effortless, takes a quarter of the amount of time and we don't have to worry about any accidents.
- Chair Leash/Rope – This saves a lot of chair chasing. Attach one end if it underneath the seat in your vehicle and when you go to transfer, you can clip it to your chair and avoid the all too often runaway wheelchair.
- Sense of Humour – This has got to be the most important life hack. A sense of humour is necessary for absolutely everything because let's be honest, if you can't laugh at the ridiculous, hard, annoying and even gross aspects of life in a wheelchair, then life is going to be miserable, and nobody wants that.
Of course this list could go on forever. The more time we spend with our wheel loves the more tricks we find that improve our every day life. What hacks have you found that work for you? Share them in the comments below and help our your peers!
Pushing on…
Sam & Chelsea

"After weighing his options and contemplating offers, he's decided to retire," Moss' agent, Joel Segal, said Monday. The football star, who played for three teams in 2010: he was traded from the New England Patriots to the Minnesota Vikings last October, but was waived after a month and picked up by the Tennessee Titans, had his worst season last year. ESPN's Adam Schefter first reported the news in a tweet. Moss was a seven-time Pro Bowl participant and made 153 touchdown catches in his career (he's tied with Dallas' Terrell Owens for TDs among current players). He was also named rookie of the year his first season with 69 catches and 17 TDs for the Vikings. But, he struggled last season making only 28 catches and 5 TDs.

Samsung v Apple: The fight goes on August 31, 2012Posted by Mark Hillary in Current Affairs, Hardware, Software.

add a comment
Who would have thought that intellectual property law could suddenly become so interesting? Two of the biggest tech brands in the world – Samsung and Apple – are slugging it out in courts across the world.
An American court awarded Apple over $1bn in damages when it declared that Samsung had infringed several key aspects of proprietary software and technology design.
Subsequently a Japanese court awarded Samsung victory in a battle over the way their phones synchonise data with personal computers. It's going back and forth as the giants argue over design issues and who is copying who.
Of course intellectual property needs protection, but the real loser at the end of all this is going to be the consumer. Take cars as an example. You can go out and buy a Ford, VW, or GM vehicle and be able to drive it immediately. You don't need to spend a day learning how it all works before you are familiar with the controls.
Isn't this analogous to mobile phones now? They are complex devices, but there are many basic controls that are the same; settings, web access, email, apps. I just moved from Android to an iPhone and it took me a couple of days to become familiar with the environment – even though I use several other Apple products. What if I move to an Android phone in two years? Will I have to learn everything again to get it to work?
We need phone companies to innovate and not just to copy each other, but the consumer will end up paying all these damages. It's time the phone companies started talking to each other and pooling technologies in the same way DVD and similar technologies are shared between manufacturers.

Reprobing of an existing membrane is a convenient means to immunoblot for multiple proteins independently when only a limited amount of sample is available. It should be noted that for the best possible results a fresh blot is always recommended. Reprobing can be a valuable method but with each reprobing of a blot there is potential for increased background signal. Additionally, it is recommended that you verify the removal of the first antibody complex prior to reprobing so that signal attributed to binding of the new antibody is not leftover signal from the first immunoblotting experiment. This can be done by re-exposing the blot to ECL reagents and making sure there is no signal prior to adding the next primary antibody.

HumanSpecies predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology:
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Asp1185 of human alpha-fodrin. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Fodrin (also named nonerythroid spectrin) is a universally expressed membrane-associated cytoskeletal protein consisting of alpha- and beta-subunits (1). This protein is important for maintaining normal membrane structure and supporting cell surface protein function (1). Alpha-fodrin is one of the primary targets cleaved by caspases during apoptosis. The full length 240 kDa protein can be cleaved at several sites within its sequence by activated caspases to yield amino-terminal 150 kDa, carboxy-terminal 120 kDa and 35 kDa major products (2-5). Cleavage of alpha-fodrin leads to membrane malfunction and cell shrinkage.

Work gets Underway on Phase 2 of Streetscape Modernization from Carpenter to Ogden; Design Makes Thriving Corridor Safer and More Pedestrian Friendly
Mayor Rahm Emanuel today joined Alderman Walter Burnett (27th Ward) and West Loop stakeholders in breaking ground on the second phase of the Fulton Market Streetscape Project, which will improve pedestrian safety and upgrade the infrastructure on the historic corridor from Carpenter Street to Ogden Avenue. Work on the first phase of the community inspired modernization project, from Halsted to Carpenter, was completed by the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) in November 2018.
"The historic Fulton Market symbolizes the rebirth of Chicago in the 21st Century," Mayor Emanuel said. "The bustling market area that was Chicago's economic engine in the 19th Century has been reborn and now powers the City's tech boom. By working with the community and Alderman Burnett, we are modernizing the infrastructure, beautifying the corridor and making it suitable for the mixed-use economy of the 21st Century."
The City Council designated the Fulton-Randolph Market District as a Chicago Landmark in July 2015. The streetscape plan was developed in cooperation with Alderman Burnett and community stakeholders, including the West Loop Community Organization (WLCO), and the Department of Planning and Development (DPD). The design is intended to make the neighborhood more pedestrian-friendly, while preserving its historic character and accentuating historic elements of the neighborhood's architecture.
"The Fulton Market Streetscape Project has already provided a safer environment for pedestrians and added to the vibrancy of the neighborhood," Alderman Burnett said. "We are excited to get started on the next phase of the project and extend the modernization to Ogden Avenue."
The WLCO-sponsored weekly market, the Fulton Market Expo (FMX), is a community marketplace which celebrates local farmers, artists and makers. It is seasonally based at Fulton Market between Peoria and Green Streets. The block, first constructed in 1887 as the historical Fulton Street Wholesale Market, was the headquarters of Chicago's meatpacking consortium — a conglomerate of twenty-two individual companies. Today, the corridor bustles with world class restaurants and businesses.
"We are thrilled to get started on the next section of this project that is preserving the historic character of the neighborhood and setting the stage for the continued advancement and development of the Fulton Market corridor," said Carla Agostinelli, executive director of WLCO, which has been supporting economic and community development in the neighborhood since 1991.
The Streetscape plan was approved by the Landmarks Commission in 2015. A gateway arch was constructed at the entrance to the district on Fulton Market west of Halsted Street in 2015.
"The Fulton Market Streetscape Project is a great demonstration of CDOT's Complete Streets approach to designing streetscapes in cooperation with community stakeholders," CDOT Commissioner Rebekah Scheinfeld said. "We've worked closely with residents and businesses in this thriving community to come up with a flexible design that accommodates the evolving land uses and preserves Fulton Market's historic feel, while harnessing the creative energy that has blossomed in the neighborhood in recent years."
"Fulton Market has been a vital part of the Kinzie Industrial Corridor for more than a century, and the streetscape project ensures it will serve the needs of local businesses for many decades to come," said DPD Commissioner David Reifman.
Features of the project include:
Work on the second phase from Carpenter to Ogden is expected to be complete by the end of 2019. The total construction cost for both phases of the project is $20.3 million.
Throughout the work, Fulton Market will remain open to motorists and pedestrians and access to businesses and residences will be maintained.
Characterized by a rare ensemble of manufacturing and warehouse buildings, the Fulton-Randolph Market District encompasses 142 properties on the Near West Side, primarily along the 700 to 1000 blocks of West Randolph Street, the 100 to 300 blocks on North Sangamon Street, the 900 block of West Lake Street and 800 to 1100 blocks of West Fulton Market Street.
The area initially grew as Chicago's main food market with the construction of a municipal market hall in the middle of Randolph, west of Des Plaines Street, in 1850. The area subsequently flourished as a wholesale market and distribution center for agricultural products from across the Midwest and West.
In addition to food marketing and processing, the district includes a number of historic manufacturing and warehouse buildings that reflect a broader pattern of industrial development that took place on the Near West Side in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
It recent years, the neighborhood has developed as a thriving tech industry hub, exemplified by Google's Chicago office. The neighborhood received an added boost with the opening of the McDonald's headquarters last year. It also boasts a hot restaurant scene. The neighborhood's transit connectivity was enhanced by the opening of the new, CDOT-constructed Morgan Street CTA "L" station in 2012 that serves the Green and Pink lines.

In the first part of our article about leverage, we explained in details how we can work with leverage, what are the advantages and disadvantages of the leverage and how the margin is calculated on its bases.
The second part originated primarily from the need to beat the myth many newcomers believe to: leverage 1: 500 is riskier than a 1:50 leverage. That is not entirely true. It depends on the point of view and on how you trade and control your risk.
If you do not trade without any strategy and you are not trying to beat with a single soldier the whole army, the leverage does not play a role at all because you are trading reasonably. That means you are not trying to control with your $ 300 account positions of 100,000 units (1 lot) size, but you are trading small positions proportional to the size of your account.
Yes, in a way, high leverage trading is riskier than low leverage trading, but the most important is your market approach. The biggest enemy of a trader is not the market, but the greed and the will of the trader to earn as much as possible and undertake high risk.
It can be understood based on an example of two types of traders:
trader # 1 has a $ 500 account and a 1:500 leverage, he buys 0.1 lot EURUSD at 1.12340
0.1 EUR / USD lot with 1:50 leverage on a dollar account.
Number of units: 10,000
Required margin: 10,000 / 500 * 1.12340 = $ 22.4
When the market moves by 1 pip, he or she will earn $ 1
Trader # 2 has a $ 500 account and a 1:50 leverage, he buys 0.1 lot, EURUSD at 1.12340
0.1 EUR / USD lot with 1:50 leverage on a dollar account.
Number of units: 10,000
Necessary margin: 10,000 / 50 * 1.12340 = $ 224
When the market moves by 1 pip, he or she will earn $ 1
Point: Profit or loss is not different because both traders have entered to the trade with 0.1 lot, only the margin is different. Regardless of leverage, they risk is equal if they are in the same position.
I have often heard from new traders that higher leverage is more risky. But it's not. As we have seen above, greed is risky. Let me show it on another example.
Greedy trader´s risk
Let's assume that our traders from the example above would like to buy maximum they can to make the most of it.
How much can they buy?
The first trader has $ 500 and 1:500 leverage, so he can buy a total of $ 250,000 !!!! Which is incredible.
If he buys EURUSD, it will buy according to the formula:
balance / (100,000 / leverage * EURUSD), ie:
500 / (100,000 / 500 * 1,12340) = 2,23 lots.
Why 2.23 lot? The required margin per 1lot is $ 224 and we have a $ 500 account, ie 500: 224 = 2.23 lot
He has:
$ 500 capital
2.23 lot EURUSD purchased
When the market moves by 1 pip he earns or loses $ 22.3!
So, his account lasts about 22.5 pips and it is gone if the market moves against him.
One normal stop loss is enough, and the account is finished.
P.S .: This is a hypothetical example, the actual number of pips will be smaller, depending on the size of your broker's stop-out, which is the minimum margin that you have to keep in your account and can differ according to the broker.
The second trader has $ 500 and a leverage of 1:50, so he can buy a total of $ 25,000. Still a lot, but it's better.
If he buys EURUSD, he will buy again according to the formula:
capital / (100,000 / leverage * EURUSD), ie:
500 / (100.000 / 50 * 1.12340) = 0.22 lot.
He has:
$ 500 capital
0.22 lot EURUSD purchased
When the market moves by 1 pip he earns or loses $ 2.22!
So, his account lasts for about 225 pips and it is gone if the market moves against him.
One stop loss is enough and 10% of the account is lost
As you can see, leverage 1:50 is still unnecessarily high and you risk a lot. In both cases, I would compare the trader to a gambler, not to a trader.
The point is that the leverage itself is not risky unless you trade unreasonably high positions. On the next example I will show that we do not really need a 1:50 leverage.
How big leverage do you really need?
Let's look at what leverage you really need for a reasonable trading.
Let's say you have a $ 500 account and 20 pips stop loss. You want to risk 2% of your account, $ 10.
1 pip for one EURUSD lot is $ 10, so you want to risk $ 10 per 20 pips.
Thus, the size of the position will be:
1/20 = 0.05 lot = 0.05 * 100.000 * 1.12340 = $ 5617 position value.
So, for the $ 500 account, you have opened a position for $ 5617 = used leverage of 11.2.
With a smaller stop loss you can of course have a bigger leverage, but I personally do not recommend stop loss of 5 pips and similar.
If we would have a stop loss of 50 pips, then we have a position of 0.02 lot, that is, $ 2246.8 and used leverage 4.5.
As you can see, a leverage of 1:15 is enough for a smart trader. It does not matter whether we have 1:50, 1: 100 or 1: 500, we actually open only a small position and use actual leverage of eg 1:15. The leverage has only an effect on the margin, nothing more.
Suggested leverage limit 1:30 and impact on traders
You may have heard that ESMA, the European regulator of the financial markets, wants to limit the leverage to 1:30.
In my opinion, there is nothing that affects traders. As you can see, leverage 1:15 for most traders is enough, so 1:30 is more than enough.
Maybe you are thinking what if I trade more positions. Here's a simple idea – if I want to open 5 positions, I certainly will not risk by every position 2%. If all of them end up in a loss, I'll spend 10% of my account, and that's a lot. In this case, I lower the position to 1% or less and I can still manage this with leverage 1:30
As you can see, you have nothing to worry about, if you trade and manage the risk correctly, the leverage will not limit you. And if you do not know how to build a strategy where you need a smaller leverage, check the ebook under our article.

Check Out the New 2016 370Z From Reliable Nissan
Over 40 years of refinements have made Z what it is today and that's a living legend that comes at a surprising bargain price. There are few other sports cars that offer the same combination of value and renowned sports car heritage, leading KBB.com editors to declare that it stands virtually alone in its price range. If you're looking for a sports car that works as a daily driver, KBB.com's 2016 Nissan 370Z review also calls it a car that people can live with every day, noting that its reputation for reliability is just as strong as its performance status.
Along with a bold fastback design, muscle car enthusiasts who test drive the 2016 Nissan 370Z in Albuquerque will geek out over its stellar acceleration, sharp handling and incredible road grip, which makes for nice flat cornering. NISMO variants turn the heat up even further with exclusive aerodynamic exterior pieces, Recaro sports seats and a muscular 350-horsepower V6 that utilizes Variable Valve Event and Lift Control technology. The standard engine on non-NISMO models is a capable 332-horsepower, 3.7-liter V6 that delivers enough power and driving engagement for most needs.
This year, Z's legend continues with new refinements that build on last year's talked-about updates. Drop-top roadster, coupe and track-proven NISMO models are once again available to those shopping for a 2016 Nissan 370Z in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and along with an available new Deep Blue Pearl paint color, sound managing technology has also been introduced. Nissan's optional new Bose audio system integrates Active Sound Enhancement and Active Noise Cancellation, which work together to bring you the purest engine sound possible, heightening the stimulating tones of Z's V6 engines while reducing unpleasant low-frequency noise.
In addition to entertaining performance, Z comes appointed with entertaining features, such as an infotainment system with voice commands, Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone, satellite radio and USB/iPod inputs. A sculpted eight-way adjustable driver's seat is another notable appointment and it provides a relaxing space from which to control Z's 300+ horses and numerous onboard amenities.
Learn more about this idolized sports car in the continuation of our 2016 Nissan 370Z review and make sure you set up an appointment to visit Reliable Nissan at 9951 Coors Blvd. for a test drive!

The Importance of Finding an Experienced Auto Accident Attorney Las Vegas
The Importance of a Personal Injury Attorney
Even the safest drivers may encounter a motorist who is careless or even reckless, and suffer an accident as a result. Those who are victimized by such negligent drivers may require legal assistance, the type provided by an experienced auto accident attorney Las Vegas.
The Risks of the Road
We face risks whenever we venture out onto the road, whether it be while behind the wheel, riding a bicycle or even walking down the street. Other motorists may be talking on the telephone, texting or, in some cases, are driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. It is when such an encounter results in an accident that you will need help from an experienced auto accident attorney Las Vegas.
Facing Other Risks
Driver negligence is not the only cause of vehicular accidents. The vehicles themselves may have defective tires, brakes or seat belts. Large trucks generally have fewer accidents than automobiles, but a crash involving a big rig can have catastrophic consequences. Helping the victims of these and other types of traffic crashes is the specific concern of an experienced auto accident attorney Las Vegas.
Help for the Victims of Accidents
A traffic crash can cause different types of injuries, from broken bones to brain trauma, and in some cases can result in permanent disability or death. However, a careful review of the facts will be needed in order to determine who is most culpable for damages. This is the role of an experienced auto accident attorney Las Vegas.
Compensation for the Victims
You may seek damages for the purpose of covering medical expenses or as compensation for a loss of wages. In the event of a wrongful death, family members can also seek financial compensation from the guilty party. These are among the areas for which compensation may be sought by an experienced auto accident attorney Las Vegas:
•Automobile wrecks
•Truck crashes
•Motorcycle and bicycle mishaps
•Pedestrian accidents
In order to ensure that you are treated fairly, you will need intervention by an experienced auto accident attorney Las Vegas. It is for this reason alone why you as the victim of a traffic accident should contact Gabroy Law Offices online or at 702-259-7777.

A finite element study on the behavior of human pelvis under impact through car door
- Pelvic fracture, cracking or breaking of a portion of the pelvis are extremely common injuries in the side impact collisions of motor vehicles. Due to both its shape and structural architecture, mechanics of the pelvic bone is complicated. There is a lack of knowledge regarding the dynamic behavior of the pelvis and its biomechanical tolerance under impact environment. Hence this study is aimed at the understanding of the mechanical response of the human pelvis with three-dimensional finite element (FE) models, under side impact load, applied through a structure, equivalent to a car door. The door structure was modeled, considering few layers, consisting of foam (Styrodur-®, 3035 CS), plastic (UHMWPE), steel, glass and steel, putting them in series. A soft tissue layer (equivalent to fat) was also considered on the greater trochanter location. These FE models (with and without the car door structure) were analyzed with ANSYS-LS-DYNA-® dynamic finite element software to compare the effect of the car door padding system for shock absorption. It was observed that with proper combination of shock absorbing material (foam, etc.) and its thickness, the transmission of impact load to the body part (pelvis, etc.) from the outer surface of the car door could be reduced.

-seriously dude, I've seen smaller versions of War and Peace- Arizona
Apparently in Arizona, when you file a motion you get paid by the page. I give you exhibit # 1 the largest motion in the history of motions ever. Dude, we get it that you are at the hail Mary portion of the competition, but Christ on a cracker man, seriously? It is over 50 pages long. 50 mind numbing completely incoherent pages long. Christ, even detective Flores wife got dragged into this shit show. Read at your own peril. I fell asleep twice, during which time I had a nightmare about being buried under a hundred million billion pieces of paper.
Since we seem to be throwing everything including the kitchen sink at this mess, I have a few items I would like brought before the court. I'm a Law Professor, I can do that.
1. I want Alyce in Blunderland brought up on charges of purgery, moral misconduct, blatant ethics violations and for slandering the seven dwarfs.
2. I want Dr. Fog brought up on charges of really bad choices of women he wants to fuck
3. I want Matt McCartney brought up on really bad forgery charges.
4. I want Dr. Geffner brought up on charges of impersonating a live human being
5. I want Jenny from the Cell Block brought up on drug charges for obviously being stoned in the courtroom
6. I want Cha Cha Delarosa brought up on gross negligence charges for her fashion choices.
7. I want Lisa Schillings brought up on charges for breach of contract since we never got our ice cream party in Vegas
8. I want Aunt of Stabby brought up on charges for just being a piece of shit human being
9 I want Sandra Webber charged with attempting to impersonate a journalist as well as animal cruelty for assaulting a fish.
10. I want that jury foreman from the first Jury held on contempt charges for jury tampering and being a stealth juror.
I will also be filing a motion to have Arizona renamed State of King Juan the First.
I will be filing appropriate motions at whatever o'clock.
Lets talk about todays fuckery for a moment. Stabby waived her right to be in court today, but then in true Stabby form showed up in court. Late. Because if you are Queen of the Universe you get to sleep in. Stabby is looking a little less, chipper than normal. I think the fact that so many people were so very vocal about thinking she needs to be dead, right now, today, can we just wheel the gurney in now might be weighing on her just a little bit. I want the bitch to get the death penalty for obvious reasons, but also because a large part of me wants to see that "trust" broken out for appeals. I can't believe I just said that and didn't immediately burst out laughing. We all know that is NEVER going to happen. That murder money is staying right where it is. If she needs appeals I'll give 3 to 1 Auntie Sue moves to Bolivia.
The potential Jury pool has now been whittled down to 169. 169 potentials out of 400. That is not good just in case you were wondering. Challenges for cause will see that number easily go down to around 60 and then there are the peremptory challenges. Not a huge margin for error with this number.
Other than that, not much else happened in court today. It was pretty fucking boring actually.
Now, lets talk about everyone's least favorite fish abuser, stalker extraordinaire, psycho-sauce lunatic pig vomit just for a second. I caught her forgetting to switch between her 150 different twitter identities the other night. Not a big deal really because we all know she does this. Comments on her own blog as different people, talks to herself on twitter etc. The thing is, this detective Flores wife thing came up and I'm betting that detective Flores' wifes account on twitter is just another of the twitter handles that good old journalist stalking PV has invented. It makes perfect sense. It would help Stabby who she is very obviously determined to be friends to the end with and it would discredit Detective Flores and peripherally Juan, who she allegedly wants to bone till the cows come home. ALLEGEDLY. Since Juan wouldn't touch that with someone else's dick, it is probably eating at her a little. YOU MAD P? to quote something I saw on twitter somewhere.
Our very own homegrown lunatic Luka Magnotta's trial has started and this guy is pure unadulterated Psychopath. Fascinating to study, but really should have been killed at birth. This is the fucktard that was on youtube a couple three years ago killing kittens. He also really likes fire. And dismembering people. He's a fruitloop. And he's all ours. Well, technically Quebec's but still.
That is it for tonight my lovelies. C U tomorrow.

This week was my birthday (I hit the big 3-0!) and I was going out to celebrate with friends over the weekend. I chose to share my mani & pedi this week since I re-did them both before the celebrating started! On my tootsies is Sephora by OPI in "Teal We Meet Again" (bottom coat) and then I topped it with "I'm So Sari!". I liked how the bigger glitter picked up the light and wanted to do something fun on my toes.
On my nails I went back to Sephora by OPI in "Henna-thing Is Possible" – I love this color its the perfect magenta color for me!
*Ignore the chips, I guess I didn't get a good amount of top coat on! 🙂
Thanks for stopping by Gracious Luck – have a fantastic day!

Within the Demystifying Art lecture series at the Stewart Hall Art Gallery in Pointe-Claire, a talk entitled Public Art featuring artist Shelley Miller and landscape architect Eileen Finn – both Montreal-based – will be held on June 3. During this event, visitors will have the opportunity to learn about their truly imaginative and highly significant collaborative project – the creation of a new public sculpture entitled Impression – commissioned by the City of Pointe-Claire, to honour the Sisters of the Congrégation de Notre-Dame (CND) who occupied the convent near St-Joachim Church and the 300 year-old wind-mill along the shores of Lake St-Louis for over two centuries.
In his 2011 report to the UN, Special Rapporteur on torture, Juan Méndez, stated that solitary confinement in excess of 15 days should "be subject to an absolute prohibition" based on scientific evidence of its psychological damage.
Did you know that on any given day, more than 80,000 incarcerated adults and youth are held on solitary confinement in the United States.
June is Torture Awareness Month. I invite you to take 5 minutes to watch the following op ed: "Why solitary confinement is a form of modern-day torture".
Next week, May 29 to June 3, will be the ceremonial close of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). Many people will be gathering in Ottawa to mark the occasion...

Dr. George Corey, executive director of University Health Services, issued the following advisory to the campus community on Nov. 14 via a broadcast email:
University Health Services (UHS) is writing to advise you of an important update regarding meningococcal disease on campus.
As we conveyed to you last month, a student was diagnosed with meningococcal disease on October 24, 2017, and that case is now confirmed as a serogroup B infection. The student is in stable condition. A second case of bacterial meningitis was diagnosed this weekend in a student who lives in a residence hall. This student is in stable condition in an area hospital. The serotype of this case is not yet determined. UHS is reaching out to people who may have been in close contact with the student and have the most significant risk of infection. They are being provided safe and effective antibiotics that can reduce the possibility of infection.
Because these two students were not in close contact with each other, these two cases raise our level of concern. UHS is working in consultation with federal and state public health officials, and will be updating advice as more information becomes available.
The serogroup B strain is not covered by the meningitis vaccine required for college attendance, which does cover strains A, C, Y and W. Therefore, as a precaution, students may want to receive the Serogroup B vaccine, which is available at UHS by appointment. You can also locate a nearby facility that offers it by visiting https://vaccinefinder.org. The vaccine may also be available through your local health care provider during the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday break. As with all vaccines, protection is not immediate and should be thought of as a wise precaution for this winter and for several years to come.
UHS continues to advise the campus community to take health smart precautions. Don't swap saliva. Avoid sharing food, drinks and personal items that contact saliva, including drinks from punch bowls. Wash hands with soap and water or hand sanitizer. Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or your sleeve. Don't touch your eyes, nose, or mouth—germs spread easily this way. If you are sick, have fever, or other concerns, University Health Services is here to help you.
Members of the campus community who have concerns should contact the UHS triage nurse at (413) 577-5229.
Additional information on bacterial meningitis may be found at: http://www.mass.gov/eohhs/docs/dph/cdc/factsheets/m-o/meningococcal-coll..., or by calling the Massachusetts Department of Public Health's Division of Epidemiology and Immunization at (617) 983-6800.

DoNotDelete wrote:[My biggest criticism is that I got the feeling you were trying to set this issue up as some kind of 'Mega Man Tribute' art book or something - if that was your intention it didn't come off hugely successfully either. As nice as Ryan's artwork is - and I don't know how big your role was in plotting each image (meaning the blame for what I'm about to say may not be entirely on Ryan) - the artwork feels very samey and becomes boring very quickly - and I can't really blame Ryan for that because the whole point of a tribute art book is that a lot of different artists get to throw their hand in - and with different artists come different approaches to producing a piece of page art - meaning each page could have offered a different and fresh perspective - as the actual 'Mega Man Tribute' art books do.
So I guess what I'm saying is - if the premise was to produce some kind of art book tribute - knowing that only one artist was going to be producing all the interior artwork, then the idea for Mega Man #55 - though well-intentioned - was doomed to fall flat on its face (artistically speaking). Not that Ryan isn't an awesome artist who I have a great deal of respect for. Though - for a comic book coming to the end of its run I don't know how feasible it would have been to have each page be produced by a different artist - but isn't that something you would have/could have/should have considered in writing/plotting this final issue?
Writers don't typically get to pick/assign/dictate who does the artwork. That aside, Ryan did half the issue. No offense, but it comes off as a bit rude to complain that there should have been more artists involved while completely overlooking Jamal's contribution.

UK firms pay £18billion bill for EU red tape
RED tape from Brussels has cost British business more than £18 billion over the last five years, new research showed yesterday.
The annual net cost of rules generated or amended by the Lisbon Treaty is as high as £5.9 billion, said pro-reform and referendum group Business for Britain.
The Treaty which was formally enacted in 2009 though some of its new voting rules came into force only on Saturday.
It gave more power to Brussels and dramatically reduced the UK's power to veto EU proposals by increasing the number of measures where unanimous agreement is not needed to pass.
Business for Britain chief executive Matthew Elliott said: "The Lisbon Treaty has greatly increased the burden of EU regulation on business while reducing the power of the Britain to block EU decisions and new regulations.
"With the costs of the EU continuing to mount, reform that returns power to member states is long overdue.
The Lisbon Treaty has greatly increased the burden of EU regulation on business while reducing the power of the Britain to block EU decisions and new regulations
"The public were denied a vote on the Lisbon Treaty despite the promises of politicians at the time.
"It's vital that history isn't allowed to repeat itself."
Today's report said the UK Government's highest estimates suggest the final cost to UK firms of laws directly linked to the Lisbon Treaty will come to £93.5 billion net.
When the Lisbon Treaty was signed in 2007 Mr Cameron gave a "cast iron guarantee" that a Tory government would give the public a vote.
In 2009 when the last EU state ratified it he dropped the pledge saying he could no more kill the treaty with a referendum than he could hold a vote to stop the sun rising.
But he promises if re-elected to hold a vote on whether to leave the EU.

One of our Sermo physicians practicing in the UK started a conversation about how physicians should be talking to patients with dementia.
"Talk to me directly, the person with dementia. I am the person with the disease, and though my loved ones will also be affected, I am the person who needs to know first."
If we diagnose someone with pneumonia – we tell them.
If we diagnose someone with cancer – we have the difficult conversation as sensitively as we can but ultimately – we tell them.
We are good at explaining that when the heart "fails" the lungs may fill with fluid but somehow "brain failure" and its resulting symptoms and signs make many of us stutter in front of our patients.
I personally tell my patients quite clearly that there are elements of their presentation that raise concern of a dementia process. I try to explain that the brain is an organ like any other – its specific functions include memory and behaviour, no different to the heart and lungs having their specific functions. Functions which deteriorate with time.
When the question of memory comes up, the family sitting in the background often ask to speak privately outside or mouth the words "very forgetful" as if to speak about this openly is a taboo. There is also the attitude that if the dementia process has started then "what is the point?" in distressing the patient with this information. Even if a patient had moderate – severe dementia I am not in the business of treating them as though they are empty vessels. It is my feeling that they deserve the same explanation and reassurance as those who are not cognitively impaired – I don't think any of us can be sure that none of what they hear is retained or processed. Furthermore I think the words 'dementia' and 'Alzheimers's' can and should be used verbatim. I am not sure why we beat around the bush so much in these situations.
The Alzheimer's association supports diagnostic "truth-telling" with evidence that this helps with future planning – particularly in a world of rapid medical advancement in this field.
Do you practice diagnosis truth-telling with your dementia patients?

The Ghanaian Times 21st February, 2012
By Cameron DuoduIn an article entitled "What exactly is 'misconduct', published on 24th January 2012, I spelt out for our body-politic, the perilous nature of the situation in which its leadership had placed itself, with the unfolding of the unsavoury Woyome saga, which involves the siphoning of between C51 and C92m of Ghanaian taxpayers' money into the pockets of a single individual, Alfred Agbesi Woyome.
I warned that not everyone in our society is enamoured of the democracy we are now enjoying, and that some elements think that Ghana is too 'under-developed' to be allowed to enjoy the "luxury" of full democracy. Of course, such elements are misguided and selfish, for as Winston Churchill pointed out, democracy may be "the worst" form of government – "except [for] all the rest that have been tried."
Less than one month after I published my article, I find to my dismay (but, alas, not to my surprise) that a campaign appears to have begun on the Internet, suggesting openly that the level of "corruption" in the country has reached such a stage as might tempt some soldiers to try to intervene to end it.
One such writer was so dishonest that although he tacitly admitted that military intervention by hypocritical officers in the past had led to further corruption, nevertheless (he seemed to suggest) it would be a good idea to have some more of it!
Now, when I advised, in my earlier article, that the Woyome cancer should be cut out, I merely urged that the right thing be done. However, I must point out that what has occurred so far is so puny in that regard that it leaves me still apprehensive about the survival of our democracy. Two factors have led to my unease.
The first is the Opposition's attitude to the Woyome saga. One important Opposition figure thought it was adequate to say that although he got an expensive vehicle from Woyome, it was for "legal services" performed on Woyome's behalf. He did not find it necessary to end public speculation by giving exact details of what those "legal services" were.
Then, the official Opposition Communications Director condemned the arrest of an Opposition MP who, it had been alleged, had been paid a large sum of money by Woyome at a time the MP was a Minister.
I deplore the attitude of the Opposition Communications Director. His concern that the NDC is seeking to "embroil" the Opposition NPP in the Woyome saga is naïve. I suggest that if the shoe had been on the other foot, he would have done precisely the same thing. What should give him disquiet rather is the fact that apparently, there are highly-placed members of the Opposition who smiled at Woyome and didn't care a tinker's dime about why he would want to write them large cheques.
That having been said, I have to condemn in no uncertain terms, the impression the Government is creating that it wants to "dichotomise" criminality in this country. As a lawyer, I am sure the President remembers the word "dichotomy" very well. It was first introduced into our political lexicon by Mr Kwaw Swanzy, Attorney-General under the Nkrumah regime.
Mr Swanzy was addressing a press conference in the aftermath of the 9 August 1963 treason trial of Dr Nkrumah's Minister of Information, Tawia Adamafio, and the following persons: Robert Benjamin Otchere (former [opposition] United Party member of parliament); Joseph Yaw Manu (also of the opposition); Ako Adjei (Dr Nkrumah's former Minister of Foreign Affairs); Hugo Horatio Cofie-Crabbe (former Administrative Secretary of Dr Nkrumah's Convention People's Party) and E C Quaye, CPP member and former chairman of the Accra-Tema Municipal Council).
They were all charged with treason for their alleged involvement in the Kulungugu bomb attack on President Kwame Nkrumah on 2 August 1962.
The court, headed by the Chief Justice, Sir Arku Korsah, found the two United Party members guilty but acquitted Adamafio and the other CPP members. Mr Kwaw Swanzy hit the roof at his press conference.
He spat fire: the court, he charged, had used a mechanism known in law as "the dichotomy of the credibility of a witness" to convict the United Party members, whilst using the same principle to acquit the CPP members. "The dichotomy of the credibility of a witness is a dangerous principle in law!" Mr Kwaw Swanzy thundered.
When I heard Mr Swanzy say these things, I realised that legal history was about to be made in Ghana and I asked him pointblank, "Will the Government sack the judges?"
Seriously, does the President of Ghana, a law professor, really expect the Ghanaian public to accept this situation with equanimity? Are there other people who are connected to Woyome's account? If so, who are they? Why weren't they named by EOCO? Even if EOCO had not completed its investigations – and may well name others in the "full" report later – did it make good political sense to name only some people and not even so much as comment on the possibility that other names might emerge, after further investigations?
The President received the "interim report" and commended EOCO for its work. When he read the interim report, did EOCO's "dichotomous" release of names of people who had benefited from the Woyome account, strike him or not? If it did not strike him, then it should have struck his legal team (please don't laugh!) who include people with grand-sounding names: Attorney-General and Minister of Justice; Solicitor-General; and Director of Public Prosecutions.
All these are paid to give the Government advice on legal matters and the President ought to have given the interim report of EOCO to them and asked for their comments before approving of any actions derived from the report. Additionally, the Government always has the option of employing eminent counsel in private practice on an ad hoc basis, if its officials are either too snowed under, or feel out of their depth on any legal issue!
Because the Interim Report of EOCO was so opaque – hinting at certain things and not others; naming some names but ignoring others; highlighting some acts of negligence but not others; stating that the President had stopped payment to Woyome twice but glaringly failing to tell the public when the President's orders were issued; to whom they were issued; who dared to refuse to carry them out; and what the President did when he became aware that his orders had not been carried out; the public is left with a bitter taste in its mouth. Is their Government, headed by a learned law professor, really as cynical as this, merely playing games with public perceptions of what it is up to?
Vulnerable though the Government has made itself to be, the Opposition is, I am afraid, giving the Government an easy ride over this Woyome matter. Why did the Public Accounts Committee in Parliament, which is chaired by an Opposition member, invite the former Attorney-General to appear before the Committee, without making sure beforehand that it could supply the relevant documentation to her, if necessary?
Also, would it not have been wiser to invite the Accountant-General and the relevant Bank of Ghana and other officials first, so that their evidence about how much money was paid, how speedily it was paid and why, whether any procedures were ignored and why, could then have been put to the former AG and the Minister of Finance, when they appeared before the Committee later? Doesn't common sense suggest that if the civil servants appear after their bosses have appeared, they might feel embarrassed about daring to contradict their bosses, if the truth demands that they should do so? How can you build a case, regarding a complex financial transaction, from the top down, instead of from the bottom up? Ins't conventional wisdom's advice that one should "follow the money and see where it leads to", if one wants the truth? Poor strategy in total, I think.
Furthermore, are the Committee members satisfied with the Auditor-General's attempts to wriggle out of some of the statements he'd himself made, in his Report to Parliament? Why hasn't he so far appeared to set the record straight?
This Woyome matter should be forensically examined, devoid of red herring type distractions, and put to bed as quickly as possible, for when a political system in a country is indicted as being generally "corrupt" — albeit by opportunists seeking to insert their own dirty snouts into the national feeding trough – dichotomy does not usually rear its head to discriminate between the politicians who operate the system.
The whole of Parliament is under threat, if the MPs don't know it.
For authoritarian rule is not selective, but is an 'equal opportunity' abuser of human rights, so to speak. Ask any CPP [1966], PP [1973] or PNP man [1981] or even SMC2 man [1979] who has ever — unceremoniously – been ordered to report to a police station at six o'clock in the morning, and he will tell you that quite unjustly, they all suffer when opportunists strike at democracy..
Wake up, then, ye politicians of Ghana! Don't let us ever go through those horrific periods again. Because if you don't read the signs, one thing is for sure: those who do not learn from their own history are condemned to relive it – nightmares and all.

Financial Times Turns 125
By: Lucia Moses | Adweek
The Financial Times marks its 125th anniversary today, and, befitting the challenges facing newspapers today, the celebration will have practical elements.
An ad campaign with the somber tagline "Still guiding the way for global business" is breaking in print and online. The U.K.-bsaed FT is using the occasion to offer a special rate on full-page congratulatory ads and a special $125 subscription offer on Feb. 13. There are some fanciful aspects, too: Hot-air balloons in the paper's signature pink color will fly over financial hubs over the course of the year, and the Empire State Building will be lit pink on May 1.

"Every politician, every agency grand poobah in this country needs to be reminded that our bodies are not government issued property and they have no right or authority to force anyone, especially children to be subjected to injections that they admit could probably cause great harm or even death."
Human vaccinosis: Part 2
Human vaccinosis should have been a consideration before Minnesota legislators jumped on the vaccine bandwagon. But this is about money, and lots and lots of it. It will come from pharmaceutical "stakeholders" and from federal agencies which will be given billions to pass out as "grants and subsidies" for implementing the federal plans.
The rise of chronic illness and disease in children has risen in direct correlation to the number and frequency of vaccines. Now, Minnesota legislators have their eye on vaccinating adults; a previously marginally tapped market. While some Minnesota adults vaccinate for flu and pneumonia, the majority avoid these shots like the plague, which may be an instinctive reaction to the intended infectious diseases included in the shots.
The decline in children's cognition and all the innumerable illnesses they now suffer, should be sending up red flags that what is being done, is not working. Or maybe it is and we are just not aware of the actual intention of vaccines.
The idea that we should be forced to play vaccine roulette with our health or that of our children is unthinkable. The sordid history of vaccines is very carefully avoided when discussing the political economics associated with mass vaccinations. Plausible deniability is everything when you are bargaining for campaign dollars. More

No sooner had we published an entry extolling the services of online publisher Clickbank than it was brought to our attention that there is another player in the field. Since 2004, the website E-junkie has been experiencing slow, steady growth as an alternative to Clickbank, offering much the same services for selling online products but with a different pricing model.
As you recall, Clickbank charges an online publisher $50 to set up the digital product for delivery, then a percentage of each sale – not high but noticeable. E-junkie has chosen to go a different route, replacing the Clickbank model with a flat monthly fee. For $5 per month, online publishers can host up to 10 digital products for sale. There is no percentage taken for each individual sale. Only the monthly fee. 20 products cost $8 and so on.
The rest of the E-junkie services seem similar. Cisco 642-104
- Copy and paste "Buy Now†buttons
- Affiliate management
- Inventory management
- Sales tax calculation
- Digital storage and delivery
- Multiple payment processors
Of course, there's more but it would be easier for you to visit each company's respective website and make a side-by-side comparison. E-junkie does offer a free one week trial to give their services a whirl. Maybe E-junkie fits your online publisher style better. Maybe Clickbank does. In Speaking of Wealth's opinion, competition is always good.

I want to thank you for being one to have taught me the skills I have needed to be successful in school since leaving Kindergarten. I recognize the importance of a solid foundational education in a child's personal and academic development, and I would not have had that if it were not for you and the other teachers I came to know at Whitehouse School. I appreciate and admire the passion for early childhood education that you displayed in helping me grow into the person I am today, and that you continue to exemplify at Whitehouse Prep.
Best decision we could have made for our son!
A diamond in the rough! This was the best decision I've made enrolling my 2 kids in WHP! Best private school in Hunterdon County.
Shortly after our son's fourth birthday, my husband and I began to contemplate his academic future. Since I have a teaching background my expectations are very high, and my husband and I wanted the best possible placement for him. Knowing the benefits of a full-day versus a half-day program, my husband and I quickly decided against the preschool freely available to us in our town since it was in the latter category. We began to research other options and happened upon the web page for Whitehouse Prep. We were intrigued by the purpose behind the founding of the school, and we were also captivated by the curricula. Immediately we made an appointment for a tour of the school. From the instant that we entered the "little school house" we were inspired, and we knew that there could be no other placement for our son. Adrian began Pre-K at Whitehouse Prep on September 9, 2013, and he has excelled beyond our deepest hopes. He is currently attending Mrs. Serra's K-II class, and his progress continues to amaze us. The education that has been provided by every educator at Whitehouse Prep not only has encouraged, but also has cultivated his educational, emotional, and social development in countless ways. Moreover, he is completely engaged in student-centered learning that creates happiness, interest, and sincere motivation to connect with others and with the natural world around him. We couldn't have asked for a better experience for our son, nor could we have received a better gift as his parents. We truly are grateful.
Best experience ever for our girls. Well rounded. It was awesome for our older daughter and I was over the moon when my younger one was accepted just before she turned 3. The difference was evident within a month!!!
Children who go to WHP come out more confident in terms of education and social skills. Definitely well above their peers. Staff is wonderful! Judy and Tony Serra with their hands on approach have set the bar high!
My son is new at whitehouse prep. We brought him over after his best friend just shined in their program and her mom could not stop raving. Rhys is getting more of a worldly education in pre school than he would in some colleges. He can count to 25 in Spanish and to 20 to Mandarin. He comes home smiling everyday and I that I get to see what is going on through his folder he takes home everyday. He actually teaches me things he learns in school that I didn't know! We are so happy he is there and I annoy wait to see what the rest of the year brings.
My daughter has been going to Whitehouse Prep since preschool and she's has thrived since starting here. There aren't enough words in the English language to express how terrific this school is. Every teacher and staff member goes above and beyond to ensure your child has the not only the absolute best education possible, but the best preschool/kindergarten experience they can have. It is truly an exceptional place!!!
Loved the play the children put on for the parents and Grandparents…Cayden has learned so much at Whitehouse Prep. What a wonderful environment for children. Three cheers to all!
Excellent curriculum, great ethics and good people running the school. As a father of 3x daughters, I would highly recommend Whitehouse Prep

Wedding Planning
Fall Wedding Cake Trends
Check out these delish cakes to help inspire your own autumnal confection selection.
Classic Leaves
It's a traditional decor detail for a reason–nothing says fall like orange and red leaves. We think this minimalist cake above is an elegant interpretation of this motif.
Caramel Everything
Forget pumpkin spice, the traditional flavor of fall is definitely caramel. Combine a naked spice cake with a generous application of ooey gooey caramel for a tasty fall treat!
Rustic Finish
Cakes that fall in between naked and iced have a rustic quality that is ideal for the relaxed vibe that often accompanies autumn weddings. The cake below also incorporates pretty jewel-toned flowers to fit the season.
Say It With Color
Speaking of jewel tones, fall colors are sometimes the easiest representation for your autumn theme. You can keep the rest of your cake simple and add garnet and ruby colored flowers with hints of blush and coral to accent. Now is also a great season to use the Pantone color of the year, marsala. With its rich wine hue, it blends in beautifully with many fall color palettes.
Add Some Glow
Sure, metallic accents have been big all year. But you'd be mistaken to think that you have to put away all that glimmers now that summer is over. Add a deep golden layer to give darker colors dimension (above, right) or to create a metallic masterpiece of rich texture (below).
Break With Tradition
Not a cake person? Fall is a great season to opt for a pie buffet instead. Offer your guests a selection of your favorite flavors of the season, such as apple, pecan, and pumpkin.
Or go a step further by presenting a tower of donuts alongside hot apple cider. It's an unbeatable combination that will be particularly welcome on a cool fall evening.
