After months of speculation, Minaj is telling the world about her pregnancy on her terms, and we love to see it. This announcement comes nine months after Minaj and her husband Kenneth Petty tied the knot, and two years after Minaj opened up to Wonderland magazine about how much she wanted to be a mom someday.
"I've got to get married first then I'll have a child. I might be closer than people think actually," she said back in 2018. "I love children. I'm not going to put that off for much longer."
Congrats to Nicki on realizing her dream of motherhood in 2020!
Reports: Emma Roberts is pregnant with her first child! 🎉
Multiple outlets report actress Emma Roberts is pregnant, and Roberts' mom, Kelly Cunningham, has confirmed these reports on social media, E! notes (the comments have since been deleted, but Cunningham has continued to 'like' supportive comments about the pregnancy.)
This is the first child for 29-year-old Roberts and her boyfriend Garrett Hedlund, 35.
Surprise! Teyana Taylor reveals pregnancy in her new music video
When Teyana Taylor's new music video hit the internet so did the news of her second pregnancy. In the music video for "Wake Up Love" Taylor's bump makes its debut, alongside big sister Iman Tayla and Taylor's husband, Iman Shumpert.
"Everybody is just excited. I can't wait," Taylor told People. I've got three more months left until we meet our little princess."
The new single is the fifth from Taylor's upcoming release, "The Album".
Former Vanderpump Rules star Stassi Schroeder is pregnant with her first child
[Editors's Note: As Motherly has previously stated, systemic racism in America is real and we are committed to covering the Black Lives Matter movement. For resources on raising anti-racist children, look here.]
Shortly after being fired from Vanderpump Rules because former co-star Faith Stowers accused Schroder and other cast members of racist actions, Stassi Schroder has confirmed she is pregnant with her first child.
Schroder has not yet publicly commented on her pregnancy but has apologized for the series of events that led to her leaving the Bravo series.
"Racially insensitive comments from my past have resurfaced. It is important that I continue to take accountability for what I have said and done, while pushing myself to do better," Schroeder wrote on Instagram. "I have grown significantly from the person I was then, and I am still filled with remorse and regret for the hurt I caused. I am grateful for the people in my life that continue to check me and push me to evolve into a more educated person."
Schroder is engaged to Beau Clark. The two had planned to get married this summer but postponed the event due to COVID-19.
Ashlee Simpson is going to be a mom of three! 🎉
Ashlee Simpson Ross is catching up to her sister Jessica when it comes to family size. Like her big sister, Ashlee will soon be a mom of three.
Simpson Ross and her husband Evan Ross shared the news on their Instagram accounts this week.
"We are pregnant and we are so excited to share it with everyone," Simpson Ross noted in her caption, adding that she understands that pregnant women are under an unprecedented amount of stress right now and that's why she supports the March of Dimes Mom and Baby COVID-19 Intervention and Support Fund.
This baby will join big sister Jagger Snow Ross, 4, and 11-year-old big brother Bronx Wentz, who Simpson Ross shares with her ex, Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy.
Congrats to the growing family!
Reports: Gigi Hadid + Zayn Malik are expecting a baby! 🎉
As first reported by TMZ and confirmed by ET, Gigi Hadid + Zayn Malik will soon be parents!
The couple (who are currently quarantining in Pennsylvania with Gigi's family) just celebrated Hadid's 25th birthday and will soon have more to celebrate.
E! News reports the two (who first started dating in 2015 but later broke up) reconciled just before the 2019 holiday season.
Congratulations to Gigi and Zayn!
[Update: Gigi's mom is speaking out about the pregnancy, read more here.]
Lea Michele is pregnant, expecting first child with Zandy Reich 🎉
As first reported by People, former Glee star Lea Michelle pregnant and expecting a baby with husband Zandy Reich.
This is the first child for the couple but likely won't be the last. An only child herself, Michele has said for years that she would like to be a mom to more than one child someday,
Back in 2014, she told Daybreak, "I'm going to have like a billion of them! But mainly because I always hated being an only child, I always wished I had more siblings!"
Michele has also been public about her struggle with polycystic ovary syndrome, which she was diagnosed with right around the time Glee ended. Just a few months ago she opened up to Health about that diagnosis, and when she was asked where she saw herself in 5 years the answer was remarkably similar to what she said in 2014.
"I hope to be a mom of, like, 10 kids—if it's physically possible to pop that many out! Ha! I'm so excited about the thought of being a mom," she told Health. "I also want to continue making records, and I hope to return to Broadway. I also just really want to continue being my own boss—in the sense of creating content for myself on television and writing roles and finding projects that really serve me."
Update: A few weeks after Michelle's pregnancy news broke, her former Glee co-star Samantha Ware spoke out about racism and bullying on the set of Glee. Michelle issued a statement that reads, in part: "I clearly acted in ways which hurt other people." See her full, response here.
Hilaria + Alec Baldwin are expecting a rainbow baby! 🎉
Hilaria Baldwin just announced she and her husband Alec are expecting their fifth child. The news comes five months after she publicly suffered a miscarriage.
Baldwin broke her rainbow baby news via an Instagram video.
She captioned it: "Sound up…I'll let the baby do the talking because I don't have the words to express how this sound makes us feel. Just got the great news that all is well and all is healthy with this little munchkin. I wanted to share this with you. Here we go again."
Congratulations Hilaria!
Leighton Meester + Adam Brody are having baby no. 2! 🎉
Multiple outlets are reporting that actors Leighton Meester and Adam Brody are expecting their second child together. The couple have not made any official announcements yet, but People reports Meester is pregnant and that the couple's 4-year-old daughter, Arlo, will soon be a big sister.
Congratulations to Meester + Brody!
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are having a baby! 🎉
Katy Perry shocked fans this week when the music video for her new single, "Never Worn White" showed her rocking a bump. "Let's just say it's gonna be a jam packed summer..." Perry captioned the clip she posted to Instagram.
"OMG, so glad I don't have to suck it in anymore," Perry tweeted after the video dropped, "or carry around a big purse."
In a live stream on social media, Perry told fans she and Bloom are excited for what's to come this summer. "I am excited. We're excited and happy and it's probably the longest secret I've ever had to keep," Perry explained. "Not only will I be giving birth, literally, but also figuratively to something you guys have been waiting for. So let's just call it a double whammy. It's a two-for," she said.
Congratulations to Katy and Orlando! 🎉
Modern Family's Jesse Tyler Ferguson will be a dad in 2020!
Moden Family may be ending but Jesse Tyler Ferguson's family is just beginning. In January the sitcom star announced he's expecting a baby with his husband, Justin Mikita.
"This is something I haven't even mentioned to anyone, if we could just keep it between the three of us and you all, but I'm actually expecting a baby in July with my husband," he said on The Late Late Show.
Report: Michelle Williams is engaged + pregnant 🎉
Mom of one Michelle Williams will soon be a mom of two!
News of the actress' pregnancy and engagement to Tony Award-winning director Thomas Kail was first reported by People and confirmed by E! News. The actress split from her former husband musician Phil Elverum nearly a year ago.
Williams and Kail previously worked together when Kail directed Fosse/Verdon, in which Williams starred. She won an Emmy for that performance and her powerful Emmy acceptance speech inspired working moms everywhere by acknowledging "what is possible when a woman is trusted to discern her own needs, feels safe enough to voice them, and respected enough that they'll be heard."
Williams' incredible speech ended with a shout out to her 14-year-old daughter, Matilda, who she shared with the late Heath Ledger: "Matilda, this is for you, like everything else."
Matilda was just 2 years old when she and Williams lost Ledger in 2008.
In the years since his death, Williams has protected their daughter's privacy with the same intensity she brings to her work. In addition to her Emmy win, she has won a Golden Globe and been nominated for four Academy Awards since becoming a mother.
Williams has demonstrated that motherhood is no impediment to professional success and we can't wait to see what she does as a mother of two!

Lead Distribution App automatically assigns leads to users in your LeadSquared account based on pre-defined rules. For example, you may want to distribute leads based on its location, interest, industry type etc.
Note: If you're new to the lead distribution feature we highly recommend you first understand the best way to distribute leads to your users.
Once you have configured the Lead Distribution Automation Connector, you can start creating rules by navigating to Apps -> Lead Distribution.
This article is about adding and Creating rules using the Lead Distribution Automation App. If your App is not configured yet, refer to Configuring Lead Distribution Automation in LeadSquared.
First, specify the default rule. Default rule is executed when Lead is not assigned with any other rule. If you choose "No Action" , no rule be will be applied to Lead Ownership.
If you choose "Specific User", the lead will be assigned to the selected user if no rules are executed.
Select Add Rule after setting the default rule. For each rule, you need to Enter Rule Name and then specify the rule. A rule has two parts, conditions and assignment-action.
- Conditions help you to identify a lead based on its properties such as location (City, Country, Interest etc).
- Assignment action helps you to assign the lead to a user or run a round-robin sequence among a group of users.
For those of you familiar with SQL, the conditions follow the SQL syntax. Essentially, it is a logical combination of AND/OR statements based on Lead Properties. The property name of lead field should exactly match with the schema name that LeadSquared recognizes. You can find out the schema name of each lead field in My Account -> Settings -> Manage Custom Fields.
You can also download the schema names for your LeadSquared account by clicking Download Schema button:
- You should strictly use single-quotes in defining strings.
- You can use brackets to separate different set of AND/OR conditions.
- Use * as wild character. * can be used in the start of end of the text. For example '*ware' , 'soft*'. It cannot be used in the middle. So 'Sof*are' will not work.
Sample Rules
- (mx_City='Bangalore') OR (mx_City='Bengaluru')
- (mx_Country='United States') OR (mx_Country='US' OR mx_Country='USA')
- mx_City IN ('New York', 'Boston', 'Philadelphia', 'Washington')
- mx_Country='India' AND (mx_Industry LIKE '*Software*')
Conditions help you to identify a lead based on its properties such as location (City, Country, Interest etc). Assignment action helps you to assign the lead to a user or run a round-robin sequence amongst a group of users.
Once you have defined a rule, make it active by checking "Is Active" and then save. You can add as many rules as you want. Each rule will be executed on Lead Creation and if the condition is met, it will assign the rule as per assignment specified. No further rule will be executed. If no condition is met, the default rule will be executed.
You can edit or delete rules at any time. You can also change the order of execution of rules by simply dragging and dropping.
Note that by default the Leads added through landing pages and API are considered for automation. If you want to automate lead distribution for leads added manually and phone connector, you can enable the options in General Settings as shown below:

14 October 2018
A great team performance last night at the first round of the Arena League 2018. The team travelled to Newmarket to compete against very strong teams from Northampton A, City of Norwich, Louth, Melton Mowbray and Newmarket. Mark was pleased to see skills being applied to racing and we need to continue our focus on these as we move forward to the next round in November. Many swimmers were competing out of age group particularly in the 15 under category and the original team selection had many changes due to injury. In the week before the competition, Will Halstead sustained an injury to his hand and Noor was admitted to hospital just hours before the competition started. Big thanks to Ruby who stepped in as the coach was about to leave, making her Arena debut along with Sam, Toby, Jensen, Bronwyn and our oldest recruit Joe Leveridge! We also welcomed Frankie Ward to the team who has recently joined us. Northampton dominated the lead from the start but we battled away with hosts Newmarket for 3rd place position and just pipped them by 4 points. Thanks to all our poolside volunteers and our team of supporters. A great team performance from all our Stingrays. Let's focus now on Round 2.

We know from last week's hugely successful #UKMedLibs chat that we have strong support from the sector for #AMillionDecisions. Furthermore, we have highly influential and senior stakeholders within the NHS as enthusiastic and committed advocates for our work as healthcare librarians and knowledge specialists.
Working in partnership, CILIP and HEE had been looking to hold an event for senior stakeholders next month. However, given the central importance of securing high-level participation from the centre, we have now chosen to schedule a new event in April/May 2018 around the availability of key policy stakeholders.
Meanwhile, we are delighted to continue to work in partnership with CILIP, with Health Libraries Group and health librarians across the sector. Going forward, the ask is that together we build on the momentum of #AMillionDecisions as a channel to promote the positive impact of the difference that our staff and services make, from the Boardroom to the bedside.

|Hello! My name is Mr. Ed!
Dear Members of Northampton County Council,
I have been following the media (Express Times and Morning Call and WFMZ) reports of the recent uproar regarding medical benefits for county employees. If not for the uproar, I would never have known that the County employees were enjoying the long extinct 100-0 medical plans. Now knowing that, I applaud Mr. Brown for bringing Northampton County into the 21st century, and suggesting a civilized way to run a multi-million dollar government operation. If Mr. Brown refuses to make the medical plan negotiable , good for him. Why?
I moved here in 1999. The last time I had an employer-sponsored medical plan was 2000. The last time I had a steady paycheck was 2004. The fact is, that employer sponsored medical plans are actually extinct too, in the private sector, and sometimes, even in the public sector. This is because the traditional "full time job" has been wiped out, in favor of part-time and per-diem work. Don't get me started on the "jobs" situation as it is today. I see temporary staffing agencies taking over with $9.00/hr jobs, no benefits. I recently applied for a nursing job, and was told that they received over 3,000 applications.
I have never seen a job with a pension plan in the private sector, in which the employer contributes to the employee.
Having mentioned those facts, the only "galling" thing I see, is the behavior of the spoiled and coddled county employees. There were a number of them in courtroom one. Blowing up plastic dolls, booing and hissing is no way to make your point. I have a better idea...since the employees insist they live in the "real world", lets give them a front row seat. Usher them off to healthcare.gov where they will find $6,000 deductibles and premiums based on income.
Taxpayers are not ATM machines. If the employees refuse to understand that, then they are welcome to leave.
Let me tell you a little story about Tricia Mezzacappa, R.N., of the private sector. (May God have mercy on whomever gets stuck with her).
In 2011. Mezzacappa worked in the public sector. At Gracedale. She lasted 1 1/2 days and walked off the job when someone dared tell her she was late.
She's pretty much a full blown liar about pretty much everything.
Her epistle is being exposed so that workers know what she's like when she runs again.

CNN reported Friday night that Robert Mueller′s Russia probe has filed criminal charges with courts yesterday and that a suspect may be arrested as soon as Monday. Meanwhile, Monday is also the deadline for Fusion GPS to turn over client lists and bank records to Congress as part of their probe into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 elections. Also on Friday evening, the story broke that the Washington Free Beacon, a Neo-Con news and activist group, had hired Fusion GPS in October of 2015 to dig up dirt on several Republican presidential candidates, including now President Donald J. Trump. Byron York of the Washington Examiner broke this story after an earlier report broke during the week showing that the so-called Trump-Russia dossier compiled by Fusion GPS was funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, or DNC. The Free Beacon admitted it hired Fusion GPS, but only for opposition research on Trump′s business dealings and had ended their involvement before former British MI6 officer, Christopher Steele began talking with Russian contacts.
We also saw this past week more stories concerning the Uranium One deal, wherein the Barack Obama administration approved the sale of about 20% of America′s uranium ore deposits to Russia. Bill and Hillary Clinton are directly implicated in this transaction through a series of donations and speaking fee payments. We learned that the FBI informant who was part of an undercover operation which exposed a wide range of felony crimes carried out by Russian operatives wanted to tell his story. A gag order imposed by both Eric Holder, and later Loretta Lynch on the informant was lifted on Thursday.
No names have yet been leaked as to who Mueller filed charges against, but some speculate that it may be Paul Manafort, who served for about 3 months as manager of the Trump campaign. Manafort may have some alleged tax and money laundering issues. The Mueller probe has been coming under heavy criticism of late as there has been no evidence of the Trump campaign or administration of neither colluding with Russia nor obstructing justice. If anything, the firing of former FBI Director James Comey has become even more justified as more and more reports of his incompetence and over-reach have emerged.
Some experts, mostly those on CNN, are giddy with the prospect that whoever Mueller takes into custody on Monday will ′spill the beans′ and lead to unraveling the Trump presidency. But if there is nothing there other than some minor issue like Manafort failing to file some paperwork, or fibbing to investigators, even by accident, I just don′t see it. This is more likely the case of Robert Mueller trying to do something, anything, to save face before the Uranium One deal tarnishes him. Mueller was director of the FBI at the time and must have known about the money laundering, extortion, bribery, racketeering and influence peddling going on. That he did not publicly object to the sale of our uranium to the Russians while they were engaged in numerous criminal activity is pretty hard to ignore.
Now that we know the real culprits behind the Trump-Russia dossier was the DNC and Hillary Clinton, that they were giving money to buy phony intelligence reports from Russia, more or less neutralizes Mueller′s entire probe. Mueller is expected to appear before Congress shortly to answer questions about his probe and the money he has spent. So, the timing of this alleged arrest is rather suspicious.
If Paul Manafort is the subject of these charges filed, it hardly seems a worthwhile. Such may be felonies, but the alleged tax and money laundering issues are 'white collar' crimes. They certainly didn′t justify a ′no-knock′ search warrant being served in a predawn raid on his home with gun-toting federal agents busting down his door, terrorizing his family at 4am in the morning. In my opinion, Robert Mueller is grabbing for straws, desperate to save his own hide and reputation.
Such may be too little, too late as we learn more about his own failings in the Uranium One deal, not to mention the true source of the whole Russian collusion story being funded by Hillary Clinton and the DNC. Let us not also forget that his buddy, James Comey, has also some potential legal trouble after leaking memos to The Media which by their very nature were classified, government documents. Whatever the case, next week should provide us with much fun and excitement as the news bombs start dropping all across Washington, DC.

Don Belton, a distinguished writer and one of the leading black gay voices in academia, has been brutally stabbed to death in his own home. And the young man accused of killing the Indiana University professor tells police the victim sexually assaulted him on Christmas Day and "showed no remorse", reports the Chicago Tribune.
Michael J. Griffin, 25, of Bloomington told police he visited Don Belton on Sunday to confront the 53-year-old assistant professor of English over two alleged assaults, the probable cause affidavit said. An argument and scuffle ensued. Griffin told police he stabbed Belton with a 10-inch military style knife after Belton failed to "show or express any type of feeling that what had taken place was a mistake," the affidavit said.
A friend who came to Belton's home in Bloomington on Monday found his body in the kitchen, authorities said. Police who were called to the scene found both doors unlocked and no signs of forced entry. Nothing was missing, said police Lt. David Drake.Drake said Belton was stabbed "at least five or six" times in the back and several times in the front of the torso. The affidavit said police found Belton's journal, which contained an entry saying that he was "very happy" that someone named Michael had entered his life. Police later received a call from Griffin's girlfriend saying she thought her boyfriend might be involved in the slaying.
Prior to arriving at IU Bloomington in fall 2008, Belton formerly taught at the University of Michigan, the University of Pennsylvania, and, lectured at the Sorbonne, among other places. Belton also has written for Newsweek and The Advocate and edited Speak My Name, an critically-acclaimed anthology of essays on black masculinity.
The murder has shocked and saddened Belton's colleagues, some of whom shared the news on Twitter. John Keene, an associate professor of English and African American Studies at Northwestern University, tells Rod 2.0: "Don Belton was a literary pathblazer and one of the important black gay writers to emerge in the 1980s. His 1986 novel Almost Midnight heralded a wave of works to come. Kind, friendly, and very smart all come to mind when I think of Don."
Michael J. Griffin is being held without bond in the Monroe County Jail on a charge of murder. The initial court hearing is on Wednesday. Interesting comments at Queerty, where many readers say Griffin is "cute" and "hot".

By Gabrielle Julien
Based at Centech, the startup Evey will revolutionize the smart personal assistant market with technology that learns user preferences and adapts to them. While waiting for its market entry next year, we met with Keaven Martin, CEO and Co-Founder of Evey.
In concrete terms, what does your product consist of?
Physically, Evey is like a light switch. It turns on and asks users to identify themselves. When an individual is in front of it, Evey will recognize him or her. It only takes two weeks for the technology to learn an individual's preferences at home. For example, when someone sets the temperature or listens to a particular genre of music, Evey learns a combination (user and preferences) and then applies it on its own, without needing to be programmed. However, when the configurations are more "risky," for example, turning on the coffee machine 18 minutes after getting up, the assistant will ask if it can make the change. If Evey doesn't detect any individuals in the house one morning, it will just not prepare any coffee.
Tell us about how the technology works.
There are three main elements that enable the technology to work: recognition, intelligence and interaction. First, sensors and cameras detect the presence of individuals in the house and recognize who they are. This allows Evey to adapt the service and environment to each individual. Then, Evey memorizes each individual's preferences (room brightness, temperature, favourite music, etc.) and their habits (the time he or she leaves for work and comes home, the daily schedule). Then, according to this data, it interacts with connected products in the house like televisions, loud speakers, the thermostat or even the slow cooker.
Photo from Facebook - Evey
How did Evey come to be?
We were students at the École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS) in electric engineering in 2012 when we thought of the concept. We were looking to create a company whose product would reflect consumers' needs. My father worked in home automation—long-distance control system installation in buildings—for more than 20 years. The problem with this practice, however, is that it requires large installation teams, running powerful servers, programmers working weeks to configure the system, and so on. This was incredibly costly and the system couldn't learn the preferences and habits of people on its own. Evey is a connected, intelligent and modern version of home automation that is decently priced and easy to install.
How is Evey differentiated from the home automation, smart home and virtual assistant market?
Traditional home automation does not rely on deep recognition, meaning it doesn't adapt its actions based on each person. Someone must be holding the tablet to make changes. There is motion sensing, but it doesn't count as a smart system because it doesn't detect if the person is still in the room, sitting still on the couch, for example.
Virtual assistants, like Google Home or Amazon Eco, react to voice commands. Actions can only be performed when ordered. In our case, our focus is on intelligence and autonomy.

You are now officially part of the Open-Air Laboratory for Smart Living, created by Vidéotron, Ericsson, ÉTS and the Quartier de l'Innovation. What has the lab brought to your project?
The lab allows us to do tests in a real-life environment. For technology startups, this isn't always possible because it's very expensive. Being in such a partnership is game-changing. In October 2017, we started a first round of testing in a furnished Arbora Griffintown condo to test the individual interaction principles. We are now continuing the work in one of ÉTS's residences. The next step before market entry will have to be done in lived-in dwellings.
The startup's objective is clear: make its users' lives easier so that they can experience a superior level of comfort thanks to Evey. According to Keaven Martin, it will be possible to integrate more than 1,000 connected devices into the service in the next few years in order to make houses smarter than ever.

"Victor has the soul of a writer, and his passion is to teach, create, and connect with others who have a similar vibe. In this interview, we discuss why we write, what we give up for our passions, and why it matters. Victor talks about how he knew his ideas were ready, but his writing wasn't, so he went back to school in order to hone his skills to tell the stories he wanted to tell and reach others with his message." - Ally Bishop

Response to Intervention (RTI) is a U.S. based reform effort designed to systematically add more regular education intervention to struggling kids prior to the use of special education. From what I understand, it actually is possible to effectively use RTI to shore up the cracks of language delay that are frequently so hard for professionals to fill. I am skeptical, however. I've heard and read many glowing recommendations of the theoretical underpinnings of RTI, usually along these lines:
All kids start at level one – basically a regular education classroom, where general education teachers provide differentiated instruction. Progress is frequently monitored with kids deemed not making enough of it then being moved to level two. Level two students receive supplemental instruction with lower student-teacher ratios and more progress monitoring. Kids not making enough progress at level two then are considered for level three, which is special education. A pyramid figure generally symbolizes the number of kids that are supposed to be at each level, with the most at level one, proceeding geometrically to level two, and ending up at the smallest, top part of the pyramid – where very few kids are supposed to be at level three.
So how can RTI be used to improve language services? Well, under RTI, educators are supposed to constantly monitor the progress of all kids. One of the things about language is how difficult this is. It is easy to miss a problem spot because of the complexity of language, and kids with language problems often compensate by using less of it. Kids with language deficits – and critically, not just kids with IQ/language discrepancies – then must be given good language "support." As there is currently no research supported language intervention that has been validated for use with kids of higher functioning than the severely autistic kids receiving ABA therapy, it seems likely that this support would mirror the often subjective methods SLPs currently use to provide language therapy.
Modern models of special education in the United States, operate from two general assumptions about learning. One is that some children, when simply presented with material from textbooks and teachers' mouths, can pretty much teach themselves. The other assumption is that about 10% of children can't. RTI seeks to add another assumption – some kids can sometimes, but not always, teach themselves. This seems a good assumption to add, actually. Incidentally, though probably not coincidentally, RTI theoretically reduces the amount of special education kids, and special education is more expensive than regular education.
RTI was not designed to be a short cut. No educational reform or special education initiative ever has been. The problem is when the nice theories run into the harsh realities of being underfunded. The original Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975, later reworked as the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA) of 2004 has been one of the best bits of educational theory ever, but it's long run up against problems of funding. For anyone who ever wants to know what an ideal educational system would look like, one only has to look at the features of IDEA – each kid has an Individual Education Plan (IEP) with goals that are updated at least yearly. And progress is constantly monitored with kids and parents frequently updated. And each kid is supposed to be individually assessed at least once every three years to ensure nothing is missed. IDEA is awesome, so why don't we extend it's features to all kids instead of trying to continually scale it back? Oh yeah, the answer is money.
So how can RTI be used to improve language services? We could devise a system where all kids are individually assessed for language, then we could devise interventions, probably along the lines of Objective Language Therapy, basically an extension of ABA's discrete trials to other, higher levels of language. We could write goals for kids with language deficits, and then let parents, teachers, and the kids themselves know how they're progressing toward reaching those goals. We could rewrite the goals as the kids progress, with the ultimate goal being age appropriate use of each language structure. We could do all of this, because we know that giving kids individualized rather than collective attention works, or we could continue to put our money somewhere else besides where our mouths are, and continue to roll out new underfunded initiatives in the hopes that one of these shortcuts end up working. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure I know which path we'll keep taking.
This article has a lot of good info about rationale and research of RTI.

Sweet dreams are made of these…
As well as wanting to sample all of the delicious treats in our shop, most of our young Chocolat Chocolat fans are particularly fascinated by the chocolate-making process, and are in awe of our chief chocolatier Isabelle's job. Isabelle admits it's a dream come true to be making chocolate for a living, an ambition that was born from her childhood in France where there are numerous beautiful boutique chocolate shops.
Experiencing such sweet inspiration as a child meant that Isabelle's career was almost inevitable, but after meeting numerous fanatical young chocolatiers-in-the-making in our shop on a regular basis, we have to say we were a bit taken a back to hear that a recent survey on our childhood 'dream jobs' didn't feature 'chief chocolatier' at number 1! (The study actually revealed that the majority of men dreamed of being professional athletes or pilots, whereas women wanted to be teachers or vets. Had these people never seen Willy Wonka??)
Come say hello!
In Cambridge at least, we expect chocolate making to be much higher on the list of dream careers! If you know any aspiring young chocolatiers, we'd love to meet them, so make visiting our shop on St Andrews Street part of your Easter holiday to-do list. For special occasions or simply an afternoon of pure chocolate heaven, we also run children's chocolate courses every weekend. The courses are perfect for mini chocolate lovers and budding junior chocolatiers, providing them with the opportunity to make their own chocolate lollies, truffles and much more!
Did you ever dream of making chocolate as a kid? Or perhaps your own kids are chocolate-mad? Get in touch and tell us about it!

Batman: Arkham Origins gets Deathstroke and a Silver Age storyline, but what could that mean?
Batman could be facing challenges mirroring the Christopher Nolan films in Batman: Arkham Origins, as the game appears to be bringing us back to the Silver Age of the mythos. Batman hadn't met all of the villains yet, and was still fresh from training after his decision to become the Batman.
The official story is that this is a younger and less refined Batman, not yet realizing that his actions to stop street crime are helping create a new level of villainy. If you look into Batman's villain origins, you'll notice that if it wasn't for Batman and Bruce Wayne, very few of those villains would exist, bringing back the old dialogue from the Tim Burton classic where Batman faces off with the Joker in a round of "You made me."
Batman is just starting to form relationships with major characters like James Gordon before he became commissioner. This could also mean Batman hasn't had to face the Joker yet, and his gadgets haven't all been fleshed out yet, giving the game a bit of an Assassin's Creed feel of earning your weapons. The Joker may reflect the persona from The Dark Knight, inventing origin stories on the fly just for a sadistic laugh as he confronts his victims.
The Silver Age in the Batman comics was notoriously anti-violent, and as it ended, Deathstroke appeared on the scene, taking advantage of the almost ultra-violent freedom DC Comics then had. Being a masked assassin, almost the more serious version of Marvel's Deadpool, Deathstroke could mean some seriously bloody combat.
Batman: Arkham Origins is being developed by the man behind Prototype, so brutal and unnecessary violence could be a very definite theme this time. In other words, you might not want to play this in the dark.
Are you excited about the announcement of Deathstroke in Batman: Arkham Origins?

NH Hoteles has been awarded another prestigious accolade for its environmental excellence and innovation on the sustainability front. The Company has just received the Green Supplier Award, one of the awards developed by IMEX and GMIC (Green Meeting Industry Council) to acknowledge the sustainability practices pursued by major companies in the meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions (MICE) segment.
NH Hoteles was awarded the Gold prize, the highest distinction possible. Marteen Markus, Country Head for Central Europe, Benelux, France, the UK and Africa at NH Hoteles comments:
This Green Supplier Award fills us with pride and reaffirms the company in its sustainable development pledge. NH Hoteles is unwaveringly committed to delivering excellence and sustainable innovation. These qualities are strategic cornerstones of our business development and are increasingly demanded and valued in the MICE segment.
The IMEX Awards were developed to recognise the individual and corporate initiatives that have contributed most to development of the meeting, congress and event sector. Within these awards are the IMEX Green Awards, developed in conjunction with GMIC, which recognise the efforts made by companies to reduce their environmental and social impacts. There are four categories of IMEX Green Awards: the Commitment to the Community, Green Meetings, Green Exhibitor and Green Supplier Awards, the prize won by NH Hoteles.
The Double Tree Hotel Portland, Cape Town International Convention Centre and the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre are some of the companies to have won this prize in the past. This year's prize-giving ceremony took place in Frankfurt during the gala dinner held to mark IMEX 2013, the premier worldwide exhibition for incentive travel, meetings and events that takes place annually in this German city.
Sustainability leader
Since embarking on its 2008-2012 Environmental Action Plan, NH Hoteles has undertaken a series of innovative sustainability initiatives which have enabled it to deliver all its targets - namely energy savings of 25%, water savings of 30% and reductions in CO2 emissions and waste generation of 44% and 34%, respectively.
One of the factors swaying the award organisers in awarding this prize was the sustainable development initiatives offered by NH Hoteles in the business travel segment. The Group provides its clients with a series of products, including laundry bags, biros and bathroom amenities made using a plastic additive that catalyses these materials' natural degradation process. The towels in the hotel chain's guest rooms come with the ECOLABEL, the European environmentally-friendly seal that guarantees life-cycle analysis of a product's impact on the environment.
Elsewhere, all NH Hoteles guests that want to minimise the carbon footprint generated by their travels and stays at the hotels can do so by using the CO2 emissions calculator hosted on the chain's corporate website. In addition, the company offers its clients an Eco-meeting option by which they can request meeting rooms that use all manner of environmental materials and offset, if they so wish, the carbon footprint generated by their events. Thanks to this innovative initiative, the Group offset over 2,000 tonnes of emissions in 2012.
Meanwhile, NH Hoteles' restaurant business has added a range of organic foods to its gourmet offering with its 'anti-ox' breakfasts. These products satisfy the demands of the Group's most environmentally- and health-conscious guests and diners.
Thanks to all of these initiatives, the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) recently awarded NH Hoteles its Gold Medal for the Icarus Project, acknowledging the chain's sustainable development initiatives and environmental pledge. NH Hoteles was also the only Spanish company added to the prestigious London Stock Exchange FTSE4Good index, which tracks the socially-responsible investing records of companies worldwide.
NH Hoteles is a member of the International Tourism Partnership

I just read an interesting explaination on why Window 7 for SolidWorks 2011. Below are the reason:-
– Windows 7 x64 is a true 64-bit implementation (Windows XP was originally introduced as a 32-bit operating system)
– Microsoft® removed a crucial threading lock, which allows up to a (approximately) 30% increase in performance on some hardware.
– You'll see 20% – 30% improved battery life on laptops with Windows 7.
– Windows 7 is smarter about memory handling, and paging is more efficient– SolidWorks development work is done on Windows 7
– XP is no longer supported by Microsoft
Between Vista and Windows 7, Windows 7 has a smaller memory footprint, and has improved graphics resource handling with multiple windows. Both of these improvements have a positive impact on SolidWorks.
If you are looking forward to upgrade your hardware and OS, i bet you have no reason not to buy Window 7.

Earthy Luxury
They say, "Offline is the new luxury". We all appreciate nature, a green earth, forests, lakes, wildlife. But how many of us even realize that we, the human race, are the biggest threat to their existence? It was reassuring to discover on my recent trip to Delhi that there are properties after all that still wish to preserve the beauty and mystery of nature/earth; and the hotel, amidst 677 acre forest grove with six lakh trees to welcome us, was living testimony to this fact. Nestled in the Mangar Bani valley, the Lalit Mangar is strategically located about an hour away from Delhi and just short of an hour from Gurgaon. One look at the hotel and you can't miss how the owners have taken every effort to create a place where one can appreciate life. Right from the raw materials like earth chalk and gravel used to build the hotel to the rustic, rammed earth pathways and extensive use of jute products, The Lalit Mangar is all about eco friendly yet comfortable luxury.
After a tiring day in the city, we managed to reach the hotel only at 9 in the night but the warm, smiling faces of the staff and a buggy ready to take us to our suite was more than enough to lighten us up. The Lalit Mangar is an all suite hotel and houses a total of 35 of them. And even though it was pitch dark by the time we got to our room, we could not miss how the rammed earth architecture, a first in India, blends with the surrounding range of the Aravallis. We were told that rammed earth is non-toxic, non-polluting and energy efficient. All walls are 15 inches thick for insulation that keeps the place cool during summer and warm in winter.
Our room overlooked the Mangar Bani valley, the only place in India that has remained shielded over the years, even from colonial rule. We learned that the valley is one of the last patches of Aravalli forests with native tree and plant species. With so much beauty around us, we couldn't wait to explore what the next couple of days had in store for us.
Although I traded this one for a couple more hours of curling in bed, one can start their day with a Yoga workout under the guidance of a Yoga guru. If that works up an appetite, the hotel offers a variety of food, flavoured with spices and herbs and seasoning, all freshly grown in its own farmland. For a big salad eater like me, it was heartening to see herbs like basil, coriander, grass, cherry, mint growing in the hotel's organic garden.
We spent the next few hours indulging in the numerous activities the hotel has to offer. The property offers everything right from outdoor sports like cycling to bringing local experiences to the hotel like pottery, dancing to folk music, puppet shows and star gazing where you can spot the rings of Saturn and moons of Jupiter. Later in the night, one can spot Venus and the moon. Coming back to the experiences created within the hotel premises, it will be criminal for a teaholic like me to not mention the colourful chai tapri with charpoys setup specially designed so guests can savour chai and pakoras in rustic luxury, right outside their room. At the end of all the activities, if you are left wanting for some relaxation, then without further ado, just head to the Time Reversal Spa. This spa is created by London based Dr Mosaraf Ali, the pioneer of Integrated Healthcare. For someone who has been a royal physician and family doctor of influential public figures like Kate Moss, Samuel L Jackson, Sylvester Stallone and Morgan Freeman, Dr Ali's uniquely designed treatments are partly based on the ancient art of Kaya Kalpa for rejuvenation and cellular regeneration. The fatigue and massage therapies at the spa leave your mind and body completely relaxed. Ask someone who went there with a neck pain and came out ready for another round of activities.
We spent the night overlooking the peaceful Aravallis with a scrumptious dinner laid out in our suite balcony. Afterall, isn't this what luxury is all about? This view reminded me of one of my favourite Coco Chanel quotes, "Luxury must be comfortable otherwise it is not luxury". And the hotel has created just that- luxury that's naturally necessary. To me, the Lalit Mangar is a beautiful and sensuous experience wrapped in comfort and reassurance.

Speaking of Todd Akin, Cory posted yesterday about the history of the bogus idea that women who were raped (excuse me, "legitimately" raped) can't get pregnant from it, citing a medical/legal text from 1785. In a story at The Week, we learn that this particular bit of misinformation is, in fact, even older than that, dating back to 1290. So Akin is propagating a belief that has been spread—despite a complete lack of evidence to support it—since the 13th century. Good times. Read the rest
Kate Clancy is one of my favorite bloggers. An anthropology professor at the University of Illinois, she studies the evolution of female reproductive anatomy. Her blog covers science I don't see anywhere else—the human evolution, cultural anthropology, and behavioral science behind ladybusiness.
So Clancy's blog was one of the first places I looked yesterday after reading about Missouri Rep. Todd Akin thoughtful commentary on female biology. In a long, well-written, and (fair warning) rather graphic post, Clancy talks about what we know about rape—think of it this way, you know way more people who have been raped than who have a gluten intolerance—and the way that emotional trauma affects conception and pregnancy.
First off, there is absolutely no difference in the rate of conception between women who have been raped and those who had consensual sex. Clancy breaks this down nicely in her blog post, and even offers a surprising tidbit from the research literature that all people should consider—at any given day in a woman's cycle (even days when she is supposedly "infertile") there's about a 3% chance of unprotected sex leading to a pregnancy.
The impact of stress on miscarriage is a lot messier. I've mentioned here before that we know very, very little about miscarriage, relative to a lot of other medical issues. To paraphrase my family practice doc, when you start talking about conception and miscarriage you very quickly wander past the small amount of hard evidence and straight into voodoo. And also into the counter-intuitive nature of reality. Read the rest

As far as I remember there are three miracles in which Jesus raises someone from the dead. The most famous is the raising of Lazarus, his friend. His sisters, Mary and Martha, were also well known to him. Jesus stayed with them at Bethany, on the outskirts of Jerusalem. That miracle led his enemies to plot to put him to death.
Earlier, in Capernaum, Jesus raised the little daughter of Jairus, an official of the synagogue, from the dead. The official pleaded with him. Jesus goes to his house, where the mourning had already begun, and took the little girl by the hand and raised her up and told her parents to give her something to eat.
Today's reading at Mass recalling the miracle in which Jesus raises the widow's son as they carry him through the gates of the town of Naim seems somewhat different. The mother and son are strangers to him. We don't know their names; they have no claim of friendship or position that may influence him. It's the very opposite. The mother is a widow. Her son was the last asset she had and now he's dead. She has nothing. Absolutely poor.
Our reading from Luke (Luke 7,11-17) provides the answer Jesus will give to John's disciples as they approach him after this incident and ask "Are you he who is to come?" Tell John, Jesus says, "the blind see, the deaf hear, the dead are raised and the poor have the gospel preached to them."
"The poor have the gospel preached to them." Those who have nothing and who know they have nothing, like the widow, are given the greatest gifts. God notices them. God's heart goes out to them.
That was an important teaching of St. Paul of the Cross, the founder of the Passionists. "Go to God in your nothingness," he said to people looking for guidance. Learn from the poor widow. Go to God with nothing.
In the years Paul of the Cross founded the Passionists, a lot of men left his community for one reason or another, and Paul respected them, but he reacted when someone left for the wrong reasons.
St Vincent Strambi, his biographer, tells about a priest who left the Passionists to make a career for himself in the church. He wanted to be a success so he got a string of degrees and began to climb the church bureaucracy. He wrote Paul a very self-congratulatory letter informing him how much better he was now for leaving the Passionists. At the end he signed his name, noting all his new degrees and honors after it.
Paul answered his letter, thanking him for letting him know how he was making out and wishing him well. But at the end of the letter he simply signed his name: "Paolo, n,n.n"– "Paul, a nobody, no one, having nothing."
Our first reading today is all about bishops and deacons. (1 Timothy 3,1-13) Our gospel is about a widow. Who's more important?

California-based visual artist and educator Victoria Wagner creates beautiful gem-like sculptures called Woodrocks, comprised of wood and decorated with color, which serve as an iconic reference to the downed tree.
To create these beautiful works of art, Victoria uses chunks of wood salvaged from local materials. After cutting the reclaimed wood into geometric forms, she adds gradients of varying hues to certain sides to resemble large gemstones.
"My work deals with observation and mystery. I am fascinated with unlikely material pairings, Within the familiar arc of a line, a simple form, the pleasant cadence of common geometric shape, I encourage an experience that is slightly removed from the history of it's making…a process that is partially revealed, yet simultaneously suspended, enigmatic, frail."
Her work has recently been shown at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Southern Exposure, theLab, Headlands Center for the Arts, Sonoma County Museum, and the DiRosa Art and Nature Preserve.

A morning with Fiona Hedigan
I had the pleasure of spending a morning with Fiona Hedigan recently of FLORA+FIONA. When I think of Fiona, I simply think flowers, divine smells and the most beautiful smile ever. Fiona's home wafted of freshly baked scones and bergamot infused tea, her work space looks onto her garden and as I sat there I questioned her as to how she ever gets any work done !
I sat dreamily staring at pink infused tulips and golden orange daffodils. I would get no work done with such a view. I would be lost forever in gazing at the beauty of her garden and listening to the busy chatter of the many birds that visit.
The morning flew, the scones were divine, every smell sensation in my nose and head were fully awaken by the many smells Fiona got me to try…bliss comes in her small bottles.
Years ago in London a colleague I worked with used to joke with me that I was 'mad into smelling to get well' . I was indeed and I still am. I love essential oils, I love what they can do for your mind & body. When you spend a morning with someone who is more passionate than you about something…well all I can say is your left smiling, rewarded with increased knowledge and if possible greater passion. Did you know the power of high altitude lavender - I never even know there was a difference….the purest form of lavender when it is grown on high mountain plateaus - imagine the sleep that would give you.
'The Lavender and Rose farm is up in the Alpes- Maritime above Grasse in France. Visiting it was a sublime experience….one of life's great gifts. We drove up narrow winding roads, along steep ravines high into the mountains to Jacky and Evelyne's farm. It was Rose harvest time and the air was perfumed with roses. We walked through the fields surrounded by roses...It was intoxicating! Rose is a very powerful oil. It gives you courage and comfort all at the same time. It is known as the" Mother" oil… as we know… it is all about the Mother!!' Fiona
What Fiona & I intended to talk about I am sure got well mislaid as we jumped from one oil to another and one subject to another. What we both agree on is how effective essential oils are for anxiety, and with oils less is more - they pack a bunch. I often burn bergamot at home and it only takes about 4 drops for the smell to waft nicely around the house.
Some Practical Home Tips from Fiona
Lavender - add 2 drops on tissue and then wipe over your pillow, this will aid a good nights sleep.
Bergamot - when you travel or stay in a new place this is a lovely oil to bring with you, add 4 drops in a hand basin in your room/ensuite and let the smell familarise you to your surroundings. It will uplift you at the same time. This is a really great oil for anxiety and lifting mood.
Rosemary & Lemon - wake up oils, add a drop of each in the corner of the shower and the steam will send the smell wafting into the air.
Epsom salts - I always thought I couldn't add oil to epsom salts but Fiona has shown me how you can add a drop of your favourite essential oil into the epsom salts before you add them to your bath.
This is only the tip of the iceberg of the many uses of essential oils we discussed so my next plan is to get a video with Fiona so we can all benefit from her amazing knowledge and love of essential oils.
If you have any specific questions on the use of oils please drop me a message.

CR Investment Management sells three properties
CR Investment Management (CR), the pan-European financial advisory firm focused on the real estate, shipping and infrastructure sectors, has sold three properties in the portfolio backing the Sunrise II/Treveria II loan.
The properties, all retail assets, are located across Germany in Duderstadt, Kempten and Ranstadt. The Duderstadt property comprises of four freehold retail units with an occupancy rate of 95%.
The Kempten property is a department store with four storeys and a basement with a 100% occupancy rate. The Ranstadt building, currently a local supermarket, is designed as a mixed-use property suitable for redevelopment.
CR was appointed as asset manager for Treveria D Silo in February 2013. At the time, the portfolio consisted of 48 retail assets, including department stores, shopping centres, car dealerships and food discounters, across 250,000 sqm and 43 German cities. The portfolio today consists of 43 properties with a market value of approximately €150m.
Similar to the Treveria C-Silo, for which CR was awarded the asset management mandate in early 2010, and which was originally financed by loans of €550m, the Treveria D-Silo was originally financed by loans from Citigroup and Deutsche Bank.
The loans were subsequently securitised in both the C and D silos, and in the case of the D-Silo, the loans sit within the EMC 6 and DECO 2006 E4X securitisations. In both the Treveria C- and D-Silos, Situs Asset Management acts in the role of special servicer.
Alex Lackner of CR Investment Management commented: "We are delighted to have sold three further properties from the Treveria portfolio.
"We are currently in negotiations with a broad range of both local and institutional investors for a further 22 properties from the portfolio, which are in the due diligence process and we are very optimistic that there will be further progress in Q3 and Q4. CR has extensive experience in the asset type, quality and sector and we continue to apply that expertise to maximising value in the work-out through to eventual sale of the remaining properties in the portfolio."

During my morning, daily reflection; I not only thank my Higher Power for all the gifts I have received. I thank Her for every animal who has graced my life.
…Not the least hard thing to bear when they go from us, these quiet friends, is that they carry away with them so many years of our own lives.
John Galsworthy
A dog not only gives what they have; they give to us….everything they are!

We have a long history with the Smith family. It all started with lugging an entire bed frame out into the desert, piles and piles of feathers, the cops and a threat to go to jail, a very nice golf course, running to catch enough sunlight to shoot in, and finally, a finished photo shoot that you can see here!
Since then, we've gotten a little more refined in our shoot planning.
Mostly, because we now live near the beach which is enough to work with to keep even wedding coordinator Shannon happy enough to forgo any bed shenanigans. Which is excellent because I think Mark would not have been in these family photos if he had to set up and tear down another bed several times in one day again.
This time it was just sunshine, water, and a little sand that made up a great family photo session.
But just so you know, we love you guys enough that we would do the whole "bed in a field" fiasco with you all over again if you asked us to!

The quartet of Peter, Quagmire, Cleveland and Joe band together to put together the winning float and are presented with a single trophy, that none are willing to share. Peter comes up with the idea of hoisting the trophy in the middle of the street using parts from the float. This seemed like a reasonable compromise until the trophy mysteriously vanishes, and the Spooner street residents begin to suspect each other, and in usual Family Guy manner, the situation escalates to extreme levels of absurdity, with the neighbors turning on one another and setting up traps and land mines to keep each other out of their respective properties.
Meanwhile, Meg decides that she wants a Prada bag, and the only way to afford one is to get a job at a pancake restaurant, where she uses Stewie as a means to make a bucket-load of tip money by pretending that she's a crack addicted teenaged single mother. Stewie becomes addicted to pancakes, and a child services woman overhears Meg going on about her "son" being fed dog food at home as she attempted to gain sympathy from restaurant patrons in order to nab more tip money. The child services woman arrives at the Griffin home and relocates Stewie to a new foster home, where Stewie is introduced to his new foster parents and brothers and sisters - all hailing from different parts of the world. Stewie thinks he's become part of a Benneton ad.
With Stewie gone, the Spooner street quartet decide to put their differences aside and rescue the Griffin child from the foster home. An elaborate plan is concocted , but in the end, Meg's Prada bag ends up being given in exchange for Stewie. The mystery of the missing trophy is literally unearthed when a Twilight Zone homage reveals that Brian was the culprit, due to his uncontrollable desire to bury shiny objects.
Despite the numerous twists and turns, the story in this episode flowed remarkably well, with the two main threads neatly tying together in the end. The number of random filler jokes were kept to a minimum in this episode, which really let the convoluted story dictate most of the humor. Watching the interplay between Quagmire, Cleveland, Joe and Peter was definitely a highlight here, and their camaraderie has been used as a backdrop for some of the best episodes of the series. Meg's side story worked quite well too, and the fact that she was willing to pretend that she was a crack-addicted single mom just to earn enough money to buy a Prada bag speaks volumes about her character.
We are also treated to a few interesting character revelations, including the chance to get a better look at Cleveland's hyperactive son as well as the beginnings of Quagmire's obsession with Lois. Overall, this was one of the better story-centric episodes of the second season, and also stands well to repeat viewings.

Every year on 8th March the world joins hands together to support, raise, inspire and motivate women across all fields of work. The purpose of this day is to focus on various themes such as innovation, the portrayal of women in the media, or the importance of education and career opportunities.
The International Women's Day 2018 campaign theme is #PressforProgress.
Note that individually, we're one drop but together we're an ocean. Commit to a "gender parity mindset" via progressive action. It's time to collaborate to overcome gender disparity, so our collective action powers equality worldwide.
To rise against all challenges women need to healthy & fit. Make Sure to incorpoate this into your lifestyle.
- Try Something New
Have you always wanted to incorporate strength training into your exercise routine but didn't know where to start? Have you ever wanted to try SoulCycle but you were too nervous to sign up for a class? Changing up your work outs can actually be good for your health and fitness, so seize the day and give something new a go.
- Schedule a Checkup
Book an appointment with a doctor or nurse for a well-woman checkup and any preventative screenings that might be eligible for your age group. Staying on top of any required tests and health concerns now can save you a lot of stress, time and money in the future.
- Eat Healthy
Superfoods have been proven to fight diseases, boost energy and even help you live longer, so why not celebrate the day by starting the 31 Days of Superfoods challenge? It includes 20 recipes and a grocery list––so all the hard work is already done, you just need to grab the ingredients. Hydration is also a key component of a healthy diet. If eight glasses of water a day seems like a lot, try out these ideas to jazz it up a little without having to resort to sugary drinks that lack in nutritional value.
- Call a Friend
Working out with a buddy has been proven to improve mental well-being, make exercise more fun and even increase weight loss results, according to a recent study from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. So call a friend and get each other motivated! Even just going for regular walks together can drastically improve your health and fitness.
- Listen to Your Body
Stop and listen to what you, your mind and your body need today. Try some relaxing yoga or a 5 minute meditation to help you be present, relieve stress and refresh yourself.
International Women's Day is not country, group or organisation specific. The day belongs to all groups collectively everywhere. So together, let's all be tenacious in accelerating gender parity.
Collectively, let's all Press for Progress.

This standard lens from Nikon costs around £1560 and sports a bright f/1.4 maximum aperture, silent focusing and nano-crystal coatings to help control ghosting and flare. The 58mm focal length is reminiscent of the old AI 'Noct' Nikkor that was designed specifically for shooting in low light with a maximum aperture of f/1.2. The aspheric lens design minimised coma flare towards the edges of the frame, which is common with fast aperture lenses. Although this lens promises similar control over coma, it doesn't carry the Noct name, and the maximum aperture is slower. Is the quality delivered by this lens still enough to justify the extra money over a standard 50mm lens? We'll take a close look at how it performs in this review.
