I still am sleepy from changing the clocks this past weekend. I lost an hour of sleep and I still cannot catch up. Are you or your children feeling the same way? I am picturing your kids with their heads on their desks at school taking little siestas during their first classes of the morning. Of course then at night they are WIDE awake like me. I am hoping my body clock catches up soon. Of course, if I would just go to sleep at night instead of staying up reading, it would be a good thing.

process. Examining the difference each model will have on the office as a whole will go a long way in ensuring that
the environment functions properly.
Whether it is a fashion design group or a graphic design firm, the use of contemporary office chairs can definitely have an impact on the overall functionality of an office space. These hip and often minimalist pieces of furniture do little to overpower the
environment around them, but they contribute greatly to the creative aesthetic. Even some of the most unique examples out there such as the Zuo Unico still manage to adhere to most office settings.
The Place of a Modern Desk Chair
In places such as marketing firms, the use of this class of chairs tends to
be very attractive while also allowing the office to remain somewhat
neutral. When a firm is having clients
over the last thing they want is to appear unbalanced, which is why many
companies who want to avoid appearing boring tend to use these types of chairs. Some other common types of offices to find
these types of chairs would be journalism groups, IT offices and most things
How a Modern Leather Office Chair Can Fit In
The use of this class of chair such as the AG Guest Chair sold by AdvancedInteriorDesigns.com can be advantageous in a huge way just about any type of company out there. Even a law or accounting firm would be proud to have a chair that appears cutting edge while remaining comfortable and fitting neatly into a business environment. These types of chairs tend to look amazing in
a conference room that has a long, glass topped table.
The Place of Executive Office Chairs
At the head of the company will often sit someone who resides on a large, comfortable and extremely attractive leather chair. Having a look at a Vintage Leather Desk Chair from any era will yield a feeling of authority and style befitting the head of a company. These days they are used by politicians, lawyers and the heads of companies most often, but they have also been used in a variety of other environments. This is the type of chair that yields the most prestige while also being incredibly comfortable, and for this reason it tends to be a very popular choice.

PerfectDisk 11+Key | RAR | 61 MB
It's a common myth that we don't need defragmentation tools, since modern day computers are fast enough to overcome performance hits caused due to file fragmentation.
Raxco recently released the final version of PerfectDisk 11 – a premium defragmentation tool. Being a paid utility in a segment flooded with free alternatives isn't easy. One must necessarily stay ahead of the competition to remain in the game. And, that's exactly what PerfectDisk has managed to do.

I thought this might be a trick question... after all - there are two ways of spelling meter... meter and metre (a throw back to our french roots I think)... so I said so.
Misty thought there may be a third way and pointed to a sign on a market stall near by...

Discovering The Storm - Tallia Storm
When one of the biggest artists in the world calls your mobile to invite you to join him onstage, there's good reason to celebrate! This is what happened to the Scottish teenager, Tallia, after she had left her CD with Sir Elton John's partner, David Furnish, in a Hawaiian hotel restaurant.
Tallia Storm
17 year-old Tallia's life changed forever in 2012. She was only 13, and spontaneously left her demo CD with Sir Elton John's partner, David Furnish, in a hotel restaurant. The teen singer/songwriter was amazed when Sir Elton John called within 24 hours and invited her to open his football stadium concert in Scotland. Since then, Tallia has performed across the world with her trademark big hair and quirky, fearless sense of style and sound, released a critically acclaimed debut EP and written a novel entitled 'POP GIRL' published by Scholastic UK.
Landing herself at red carpet events and rubbing shoulders with the likes of Drake and Justin Bieber, it's clear Tallia is heading for big things. Having grown up singing along to Ella Fitzgerald and Dinah Washington, to later finding a love for contemporary artists such as the late Amy Winehouse and Kendrick Lamar, Tallia has crafted a unique sound to deliver a powerful and modern urban vocal, which is gathering an array of fans from around the world. Her forte is live performance and her simple acoustic set is where her heart is, which is why her social media fan base goes from strength to strength.
She has already been featured on a number of big name publications like Vibe, Music Week, Billboard, MTV and Idolator.
"There's no doubt Tallia Storm is headed for big things with her soulful and powerful vocal." - DJ Target (BBC Radio 1)

At home we eat fish occasionally Golden Pompano is one of my favorite fish, it is meaty, sturdy, moist (has enough fat), and best of all doesn't have a lot of bones, most of the bones are large and in the center body not embedded through-out it's flesh.
It is very similar to white Pomfret and Black Pomfret (which are also one of my favorite fish, when I want fish steaks, medallions, rounds, whole fried fish, or a fish that can hold it's own in stewing)
This is how my mother prepares it she simply puts generous salt, pepper, mashed garlic, and lime. Then flours and pan or deep-fries. The results, a slightly crisp exterior, moist interior, and garlicky, flavorful fried fish.
With my wrist broken and unable to cook much, I decided to take pictures of what my mom was cooking and share the recipe :)
Main Ingredients:
-2 Golden Pompano's (cut into steak rounds)
-6-8 cloves garlic, mashed to a paste
-juice of 1 lime or 1/2 lemon (she used a lemon)
-salt to taste (salt generously all over)
-ground black pepper to taste
-flour as needed to coat fish
Ingredients To fry the fish:
-enough oil to deep-fry fish, or almost completely submerge (2-3 cups?)
-3 whole garlic cloves, skin on, slightly bruised
(1) Tell your fish market guy to cut it into steaks, wash the fish real well, rinsing in cold water several times and pat-dry, make slits on the steaks skin with a knife about 2 inches apart, sprinkle salt and pepper all over, rub garlic, and lemon or lime juice all over.
(2) Allow to marinade atleast 2 hours or over night
(3) After 2 hours or marinading longer, lightly flour all the fish pieces
Directions to fry:
(1) Heat your oil over medium high heat, add your bruised garlic cloves (this will help your house not smell like a bunch of fish) add your floured fish when hot, in batches fry 5-6 minutes without touching
then turn over and allow to continue frying.
(2) Drain and remove from oil, put on paper towels to drain further or o n whatever you'd like
(3) Do the same with the second batch :) When done it should look like this. We ate it with rice and salad :D
(1) Notice the fish is a golden reddish, my mom used an oil she had previously infused with sweet smoked Spanish paprika, you can also just mix the flour with some paprika for the color.
(2) This recipe can work for Tilapia/ Mojarra, Catfish, Redsnapper, or Seabass. any fresh white fleshed whole fish, even fish fillets :)
(3) If you like this recipe you'll like my mother's Salmon, with generous garlic, pan-fried in butter and olive oil see post for "Salmon de mi Mama" or her "Mojarra Frita a la Mexicana" (Tilapia Mexican style)
(4) I have a feeling I have the wrong Spanish name... I think "Castañeta" or Palometa is actually referring to "Pomfret" though Pomfret and Pompano look so similar....
This blog is to share what I like and know how to cook. Anything from Mexican recipes taught to me by my mother to old fashioned traditional Cuban (Pre- Castro) and Spaniard cooking taught by my grandmother. Simply because it is what I've been exposed to. I learn plenty from friends, family, and other blogs. However often I wonder into other cuisines I am intrigued of and will share my finds of these. :)

One of the issues that affects the efficiency of data centers is the climate in which the data center is located. A well-run data center in Phoenix could draw more power than a poorly run data center in Toronto. When looking at measures of data center efficiency, it's important to consider these factors.
There's a nifty utility available from UCLA called Climate Consultant (see
http://www.aud.ucla.edu/energy-design-tools/tools/Climate4.exe or
http://www2.aud.ucla.edu/energy-design-tools/). This software allows you to draw
psychrometric charts, plot average/min/max temperatures, etc. for any location for which you have the proper type of weather file. For example, the graphic at the right shows a psychrometric chart for Hillsboro, Oregon.
Not only is this utility free, you can get weather data for many locations for free. The U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) maintains weather data for over a thousand locations around the world, including most airports at http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/energyplus/cfm/weather_data.cfm. For example, http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/energyplus/cfm/weather_data3.cfm/region=4_north_and_central_america_wmo_region_4/country=1_usa/cname=USA#OR provides data for several sites in Oregon. Just save the .EPW file to your local hard disk, and you're good to go.
P.S. Thanks to Pasi Vaananen for the pointer to this tool.

- As seen at WrestleMania 33 this past Sunday, The Undertaker seemingly wrestled his final match in a losing effort to Roman Reigns. Dave Meltzer reported on the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio that Taker "is getting more surgeries now," noting that he had held off on hip surgery. As noted, Taker likely needs a full hip replacement and has been holding off on that surgery until he retires.

APC Technologies offers five technologies for VOC Control: CarbonPure Adsorption Systems, Thermal and Catalytic Oxidizers, GP Series (Wet) Gas Scrubbers, and Ultra High-Efficiency Filter (UHF®) systems.
A variety of factors should be considered when selecting a VOC Control technology, including regulatory requirements, VOC loading of the gas stream, and lifecycle cost of each system. APC has no bias toward any technology and is pleased to propose multiple technologies with comparison of capital and operating costs.
APC's CarbonPure Activated Carbon Adsorption systems utilize activated carbon and other adsorption media to provide high VOC removal efficiencies – up to and in excess of 99%. These systems are generally simpler, lower capital cost, lower maintenance, and are particularly well-suited for air streams with lower concentrations of VOCs or lower volumetric gas flow rates. CarbonPure adsorption systems come in both once-through and regenerative types. APC is media-independent and will recommend and furnish the best adsorption media available on the market for the given application.
For certain applications where solvent recovery is desired (e.g., chlorinated organics), or VOC loading levels are high, the saturated carbon bed may be regenerated with steam. Solvent recovery can provide savings that exceed the operating costs of the system, providing a return on investment. When solvent recovery is not appropriate or feasible, the activated carbon can in cases be regenerated by hot flue gas, with the regeneration gas in turn passing through a small oxidizer.
APC's CP Series Catalytic Oxidizers use high-efficiency catalysts to achieve 97%-99% destruction of the VOCs at lower operating temperatures. APC applies the unique Ultra High-Efficiency Filter (UHF®) as a pre-filter to protect the catalyst and typically guarantees catalyst life at a minimum of 3 years. Depending on hydrocarbon loading and heat content of the gas stream, APC's catalytic oxidizers may require little or no natural gas to sustain required temperatures, through use of high-efficiency heat exchangers.
APC's ThermPure Thermal Oxidizers typically provide the highest achievable voc control efficiencies – 99% plus – through high-temperature conversion of the hydrocarbons to products of combustion. APC offers primary and secondary heat exchangers to maximize the energy efficiency of the thermal oxidizer.
APC's GP Series Packed Tower Scrubbers can provide high VOC removal efficiencies for applications where the VOCs are soluble. GP packed tower scrubbers maximize absorption of VOCs through use of proper up-front modeling, high-efficiency, low-loss packing, and proper scrubbing liquid management. GP scrubbers offer corrosion- and temperature-resistant construction as needed with vertical, horizontal, and multi-stage units available.
For certain applications where the VOCs can be condensed out of gas phase, APC's Ultra High-Efficiency Filter (UHF®) system, combined with a condenser or other cooling means (dilution, quench, etc.), can provide 95% to 99% VOC control, typically at lower capital, operating and maintenance costs. The UHF® system offers simultaneous high removal efficiency of the VOCs and any oil mist and solid particulate matter, without any plugging problems at all, and offers simple operation and extremely low maintenance costs, with no process downtime required for filter replacement.
VOC control applications include: adhesives, aluminum rolling mills, other aluminum fabrication plants, asphalt plants and terminals, bakeries, chemical plants, coating operations, composites chemical plants, drying ovens, food processing, furniture manufacture, foundries, lubricant production, oil pipeline terminals, oil refineries, petrochemical plants, painting operations, plastics, polymers, printing, pulp and paper manufacture, metals fabrication, rendering resins, rubber products, pharmaceuticals, sealants, solar power plants, spray drying operations, textile finishing, tire operations, wastewater treatment, and others.

Kanhaiya Kumar's autobiography reveals the mind of a confused and directionless person and not of a revolutionary as he's made out to be
Kanhaiya Kumar, the former JNU student union president, shot into the limelight overnight after being arrested for alleged sedition following an incident at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) on February 9 this year. Anti-India slogans were allegedly raised by a section of students at the event to commemorate the death anniversary of Afzal Guru. Kumar was charged for being present in the crowd and raising such slogans. He was later released on bail, but has been fined by the university authorities for the event.
Ideologues and activists have come out with two extreme positions post the brouhaha at JNU. While one goes to the extreme limits of defining what all is anti-national, the other states that freedom means you can do anything. Somewhere between these two ends, the classic definition of liberty as taught in political theory—freedom from having to do something rather than freedom to do anything—gets lost.
It is no secret that the Left parties, student wings associated with it and people having allegiance to its ideology have a distaste for the BJP and a pathological dislike for Narendra Modi. However, his mandate and the current state of the Congress have made them look for anyone and anything that has the potential to become a rallying point against Modi. In this quest, even the most unlikely person can become a hero overnight. Kumar was one of them. His release from jail and his subsequent speech at JNU used the power of social media and made him look like a messiah or a revolutionary leader. Buoyed by it, it seems Kumar thought it's time to tell his story. He has not disclosed his age in the book, but a rough estimate suggests that he is not less than 30 years old. He's still to complete his PhD and, barring his matriculation, he's always scored a second division. The only entrance exam he has succeeded in till date is that of JNU.
There's not much the book has to tell. Of the five chapters, two are devoted to JNU and Tihar, leaving three for his childhood and college days, all said in some 249 pages. Kumar was born into an upper-caste poor family in a village in Begusarai in Bihar. He's not a Dalit, but has not disclosed his exact caste. Also, it is not that his entire family is poor. Extended and immediate relatives and even friends of his father are well to do. His family's poverty is due to his father's activism and alignment with the communist party. Anyone familiar with Begusarai will know that it's a traditional stronghold of the communists.
Kumar grows up in poverty, goes to a government school, briefly even to a public school, witnesses disparity, discrimination, communalism, etc, and being a perceptive student, starts developing a political ideology—that Dalits, Muslims and Adivasis comprise the weaker sections and the system always discriminates against them. Hence, he will fight for them. However, no thought is spared for the poor. His dubbing of Dalits, Muslims and Adivasis is such that they seem to be a homogenous group with no stratification. But we will have to take Kumar at face value, because he says he understands sociology very well.
Throughout his student days, his dilemma was whether to study and become an engineer or an IAS officer, or get into activism. Somewhere in senior classes, Kumar found that he is weak in math and science, but good at social sciences. He devotes a lot of time to reading, but barring Premchand, has not named a single other author he has read. Despite being weak in math and science, he opted for the science stream in class XII to become an engineer. It seems his choice was made to please his parents, but he chooses to blame the system again. In college, he switched to social sciences and opted for subjects like geography, history, sociology, Hindi and English despite not having any special interest in them, but just because he read in some competitive magazine that an IAS topper of a particular year had geography and Hindi as optional subjects. However, he never discloses which subject/s interest him. Even when he joined MPhil in JNU in African studies, it was because he knew a professor from that department.
He's inclined towards Left ideology, but never examines it critically. He grew up in Bihar during Lalu Prasad's hegemony, but never discusses his tenure and what he thinks about it. All his hatred is reserved for the BJP, its student wing ABVP and, of course, Modi. There's no word on the USSR and its collapse, the fall of the Berlin wall, Stalinism, Mao or the Tiananmen Square in China. No word about Emergency and the CPI's support to it. No word about the Communists' role in the freedom struggle, their attempt to sabotage the Quit India Movement and their calling Mahatma Gandhi an agent of the bourgeois. Strangely, while he has hailed a host of leaders, there's no mention of Gandhi.
In the end, one is at a loss to understand the purpose behind this book. Perhaps Kumar wanted to tell his side of the story of the February 9 event and its aftermath. Because conventional wisdom suggests that one should write an autobiography or a memoir only after having lived a full life and having the satisfaction of achieving either what one set out to do, or reaching an age when one can satisfactorily look back to tell a wholesome story. Kumar has achieved neither.

Good Marketing Strategies vs. Good Storylines
When it comes to the development of effective marketing and retail strategies we take a closer look to the stories behind. From fundamental DNA values to visual details.
The brand, the product, the customer, the location. This will lead to a seamless customer journey. Because good strategies are based on good storylines.
Design is Essential
Shop design, window campaigns and retail strategies merge together both physically and digitally. Let's go for the next step.
Design is essential and the air that we breathe. From a single marketing tool to omni-channel activities. We support by creating concepts and visual appearances. The concept for a product presentation, the design of an iPad stand, the production of a corporate video. And the good thing: We like both sides, brain work and craftmanship. Developing a concept as well as producing an individual piece of art.

A Chico Registered Nurse has been placed on three years criminal probation for stealing powerful prescription drugs including hydromorphone, morphine and oxycodone.
Michael Alan Headley received the probation sentence after a no contest plea to felony and misdemeanor charges. He was charged by the Butte County District Attorney's Office with a felony for fraudulently obtaining a controlled substance and two misdemeanors for failing to document the administration of controlled substances.
An investigation by the Department of Consumer Affairs' Division of Investigation revealed Headley fraudulently obtained the controlled substances in the names of patients – some of which had already been discharged from the hospital, without physician's orders. The investigation also uncovered he failed to document the administration and destruction of unused controlled substances.
The Board of Registered Nursing filed an accusation seeking disciplinary action against Headley's license. Administrative actions against his license are pending.

Bauer Pitches No. 1-Seed UCLA Past No. 4-Seed LSU, 6-3, in NCAA Regionals
June 5, 2010
LOS ANGELES - Right-hander Trevor Bauer recorded 11 strikeouts in eight-plus inning to earn the win and lead the No. 1-seed UCLA baseball team past No. 4-seed LSU, 6-3, and remain in the winners' bracket of the NCAA Los Angeles Regional before 2,613 at Steele Field at Jackie Robinson Stadium on Saturday night.
Bauer (10-3) joined teammate Gerrit Cole as UCLA's two 10-game winners, leading the Bruins into an NCAA Regional final for the third season in the last four years. Bauer limited LSU (41-21) to three runs (one earned) and seven hits, pitching into the ninth inning. He held the Tigers to five hits and no runs through the first eight frames.
The Bruins (45-13) tied the program record for most wins in one season, equaling the win total from the Bruins' 1997 team (45-19-1), the last UCLA program to advance to the College World Series.
UCLA received solo home runs from third baseman Cody Regis, left fielder Jeff Gelalich and pinch-hitter Dean Espy in the victory over LSU. Espy went 2-for-2 with two RBI, and Regis went 1-for-4 with two RBI. Gelalich went 2-for-3 with two runs and one RBI.
LSU right-hander Anthony Ranaudo (5-3) was tagged with the loss, surrendering four runs and seven hits in six innings. Ranaudo registered 10 strikeouts and issued four walks.
UCLA led 1-0 in the second inning on a solo homer by Regis. The Bruins added their second run in the top of the third. After loading the bases on back-to-back singles and a walk, Regis drew a bases loaded walk to score catcher Steve Rodriguez.
Gelalich delivered his first collegiate homer in the top of the fourth, a blast beyond the right-center field fence to send UCLA ahead by a 3-0 margin.
The Bruins led off the sixth inning with a walk from Gelalich, who stole second and moved to third on a sacrifice bunt. Gelalich scored on a two-out double to the left field fence by Amaral.
Espy added to the Bruins' margin in the top of the seventh inning with a pinch-hit homer to deep left field.
UCLA scored one more run in the top of the ninth inning with an RBI-single by Espy, scoring Amaral from third.
LSU scored three runs in the bottom of the ninth on a dropped fly ball before shortstop Austin Nola and center fielder Leon Landry belted back-to-back RBI-doubles with nobody out. A sacrifice fly with one out scored Landry.
The Bruins will play the winner of Sunday's elimination contest between LSU and UC Irvine at 6 p.m. Sunday's NCAA Los Angeles Regional games will be televised by CST (Cox Sports Television) and will feature a live video stream on ESPN3.com.
Game Notes: UCLA's 26 home victories are the most since the Bruins went 28-10 in 1982 ... the Bruins tied the school record for most wins in a season (45), which has only been previously accomplished by the 1997 team ...Trevor Bauer pushed his strikeout total to 135, tops in the Pac-10 Conference ... Bauer lowered his ERA to a 2.72 mark ... UCLA closer Dan Klein required just four pitches to record the final three outs in the ninth inning in a non-save situation ... the Bruins lowered their team ERA to a 2.95 mark.

The Fit
The biggest advantage when buying a tailor made suit is the fit. An off the rack suit simply can't compare as they are manufactured on an assembly line, meaning they are made to standardized measurements. They almost always need to be altered, and by non-expert tailors usually. A tailor made suit on the other hand is painstakingly accurate with regards to measurements, and takes all your body's contours into consideration.
The Style You Want
The styling options are truly endless with a tailored suit. From material, to color, to style – all options are fully customizable and the power is entirely in your hands. With off the rack, you may have to settle for a suit that has a great color but the material isn't ideal. Or vice versa.
The Convenience
Buying a tailor made suit means you only have to visit the one location, from start to finish. It may take you many stores to find the right off the rack item, costing you in time and money in the long run. And even if you find one that you like in the end, chances are it won't be the perfect fit and a certain level of dissatisfaction will always linger and attach itself to that specific purchase.
The Quality & Affordability
A good tailor will not only make you a tailor made suit, but will craft it meticulously. Handmade ensures every nook and cranny is overseen. Nothing can beat the undivided attention of a tailor who is passionate about their craft. For you, this means a high quality suit. And when you take into consideration the overall picture, you save money in the short and long term by not travelling miles on end to find a decent suit, but also having a quality garment that lasts you for many years to come.

Frankfurt Motor Show: Skoda Rapid Spaceback
Skoda will launch the Rapid Spaceback at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. The firm describes it as its first ever family hatchback five-door.
Adopting the model of Audi's A3 Sportback, it adds Avant estate-style practicality to the regular Rapid, despite the saloon-look standard car also having a hatchback boot.
But then, Skoda is also the company that gives us the Superb, which is a saloon AND a hatchback rolled into one. It's thus not one to follow convention.
The very appealing Rapid Spaceback lives up to its name by offering a 415-litre boot even with the seats up. Family hatchback rarely top 400 litres, and you often need an estate to approach the 1380 litres that's realised when the seats are folded. It's a very practical car indeed.
Skoda is also promising "the highest levels of knee-and headroom in the class".
Engines include a 99g/km CO2 Greenline variant and the firm also offers a host of options that include, intriguingly, extended glazing for the tailgate.
Like all recent new Skodas, it also has an ice scraper built into the fuel filler cap.
MR Thinks… The Skoda Rapid Spaceback is the car the regular Rapid should have been all along. That car feels like a world market budget-targeted special: this is much more European and contemporary. We feel it will do well, and certainly outsell the regular Rapid.

It's Pride Month! Companies are infusing logos with rainbow colors, there are parades EVERYWHERE and we are trying to go out of our way to celebrate LGBTQ employees. The world has come a long way but LGBTQ employees still suffer from discrimination in many states. Homophobia is still alive and well in the workplace. Many of us have learned to seize our superpowers but our work challenges are still unique. So, what can you do beyond curating those festive rainbow logos to support the LGBTQ community? (Don't get me wrong, I love rainbow omnipresence but there's more we can do).
1. Evaluate Your Company's LGBTQ+ Candidate Experience: The candidate experience is anything that happens in the recruiting process, up to hiring a candidate. It includes e-mails, phone screens, case studies, in-person interviews, dinners, coffees and even foosball games. The LGBTQ community can be very much on guard during this exploratory process and we are constantly looking for cultural artifacts that reveal an employer's stance on inclusion. There are a few things that companies can do to show they are inclusive in this stage. First, if someone mentions their partner, husband or wife, try to relate to them like you would with a straight person. Don't get awkward! Ask them the same questions you would ask a straight person. Second, mention your company's stance on inclusion throughout screening process. Highlight your LGBTQ resource group or that LGBTQ leader who climbed the ladder. Third, if you have an LGBTQ inclusive culture, make sure that it's all outlined on your website and in other public places. You would be surprised how many companies are inclusive but you would never know it unless you talked to their employees.
2. Treat your LGBTQ employees as equals. Do you celebrate weddings and other personal milestones in your organization? If so, are you treating your LGBTQ employees equally? I have worked in organizations that have announced straight weddings but not LGBTQ weddings. If you leave us out one time, then you kill the trust. If you are straight, think about how you would feel if your organization constantly omitted you. Take that times 100. Well, that's how it makes us feel since it has happened our entire lives. Little actions go a long way.
3. Understand the emotional distress that we face. There was recently a study published that found that legal denial of LGBTQ services increases stress levels across the LGBTQ community, even within individuals that aren't directly impacted. So, even if you don't do business in a discriminatory state, mental distress levels within your local LGBTQ community may still be heightened following the passing of discriminatory laws. Stay up to date on these policies and continually reassert your support for your employees and their families. Once is not enough.
4. Connect and learn from your employees. Now that you have LGBTQ employees, connect with them organically. Include our lives and stories in your organizational fabric. In many ways, we are just like you so treat us accordingly.
These are just a few tips to get you started. It's not a one size fit all approach but when in doubt, just be human! Happy Pride and enjoy the sea of rainbows!

The Conroe Lions Club was originally chartered on August 22, 1932; however, the club was not successful and its charter was relinquished.
The club was chartered again on March 7, 1939 and has continued to grow in size, activities, and services. In 1986, the club changed its name and re-registered with Lions Clubs International as the Conroe Noon Lions Club (CNLC) to distinguish itself from the Conroe Evening Lions Club.
Rev. R. L. Sturgis, Jr., Pastor of the First Episcopal Church in Conroe served as the Charter President of CNLC. Other charter officer included B.B. Rice, Vice President; Dr. Paul Hicks, Secretary; and George Darden, Tail Twister. The club originally met at the State Hotel which was located across the street from the Methodist Church. The club later moved to the Birch Hotel which was located on Thompson Street at Phillips Street behind the Dr. Tom Falvey home.
In the 1950's, the club moved its meetings to the First Methodist Church located on Phillips Street at Main. At this time, the Methodist Church had only one building, which was located in the center of the block. The church's Ladies Auxiliary served wonderful meals, and the club's favorite was their Chicken 'n Dumplings.
To help support the Conroe community's new hotel, the club moved to the Hotel Conroe in 1961, where it met for about 20 years. Membership averaged 40 to 50 members until 1973-74 when Lion Frank Krauskopf was the CNLC President. With Lion Gene Tannery as Membership Chairman, Frank set a goal to double the size of the club, and they did! With this growth, the club had, and still remains the honor of being the largest club in District 2-S2 which encompasses the greater Houston area.
In 1965, a disagreement with the hotel management forced President John Browder to move the club to the Panorama Country Club for about a year. When the membership voted to return to the Hotel Conroe in 1966; and the 1st Vice President Carl Barton and Mayor of Conroe resigned, refusing to go back to the hotel.
During the 1970's, the club built a storage building at the old VFW Hall in Candy Cane Park. The Conroe Service League used the building for the storage of hospital equipment. Later the club purchased a lot on North 6th Street and moved the building to this location. A second building was built for the storage of carnival equipment. These buildings and lots were later sold, as they were no longer needed by either organization.
In 1984, the club moved its meetings to the Holiday Inn located on Interstate 5. When the Holiday Inn changed management, the club moved again to the River Plantation County Club in November, 1987. But, a dramatic increase in facility and meal costs forced the club to move back to the Holiday Inn in July 1997.
By this time the Holiday Inn had grown too small and in October 1999, the club began meeting at the Golden Corral with the anticipation of a new county facility in the works. Though the meals were ample and tasty with good deserts, the facility was still too small and not well-arranged for club meetings.
In January 2001, the Lone Star Convention Center opened and since then, the club has been meeting there each week.
District 2-S2 Governors
CNLC has had ten fine District Governors to serve District 2-S2. In 1948 came Reagan Smith, and then in 1959 E.H. Stephan. Don Buckalew served as District Governor in 1963-64 while representing his home club of Humble at the time; later as a member of CNLC, he went on to become an International Director from 1974 through 1976. John Burge served as District Governor in 1978-79; James M. Stewart served 1986-87; Pat H. Brennan served 1991-92 and was Counsel Chairman 1995-1996; Judge James E. Cates, DVM served 1996-97; Glen Starr served 2010-2011; N.E. 'Eddie' Risha served 2013-2014; and Karl Johnson served in 2018-2019.

Charitable Activities
TEXAS LIONS CAMP – The Texas Lions League for Crippled Children was formed in 1948-1949 and thus began the idea for a summer camp for handicapped children. District Governor and CNLC's own Reagan Smith with the Council of Governors pursued the idea of a camp for kids from all over Texas to be owned and operated by Texas Lions. With Lion George Darden's assistance, Governor Smith and the council secured 500 plus acres of Texas Hill Country land from the Veteran's Administration. Thus, the Texas Lions Camp in Kerrville, Texas was born. To support the camp, each Texas Lions Club was asked to give $10 per member per year. Governor Reagan Smith insisted that the CNLC would be the first club to contribute to the camp and it was the only club to contribute in 1949. CNLC became the first 100% contributor to the camp and has continuously made its 100% contributions since that time, contributing longer than any other club.
SIGHT CONSERVATION – Since its early days, Conroe Noon Lions Club has had a very active Sight Conservation program. In cooperation with Conroe area ophthalmologists and optometrists, for many years the club's Eyeglass program helped pay for eye exams and prescriptions glasses for needy school-aged children.
In 1996, the Montgomery County Hospital Foundation Trustees dissolved the Foundation and contributed $26,000 to CNLC to be exclusively used in its eye care assistance program for those in need in Montgomery County. With these funds, the club formed the Oliver Kneisley Foundation, so named for a past Lion who was a member of the Montgomery County Hospital Foundation, a true humanitarian and support of this club and our community. The funds from the foundation have been invested so that their earnings continuously support the club's Eyeglass program.
After many years of operation, the Texas Telecom Pioneer Recycling Center in Houston closed its doors in 2006. Prior to closing, several members of the Conroe Noon Lions Club worked with the Pioneers to continue the local eyeglass recycling effort, and the club's board of directors established the Conroe Noon Recycling Center to continue the recycling program. Club members and other community volunteers collect, sort, clean, repair, and categorize used eyeglasses which are collected from Lions clubs, other service groups, and the general public within District 2-S2. On average, the facility will process approximately 120,000 of donated eyeglasses each year. Not only does the Recycle Center save glasses to be reused, it sends the scrap metal and plastic off for additional recycling. This in turn provides funds for the center and saves materials from being dumped in landfills. Since its inception, the Conroe Noon Recycling Center has provided over 260,000 eyeglasses, sunglasses, and cases via mission trips through numerous other charitable organizations. The distribution of these refurbished eyeglasses expands CNLC's Sight Conservation Program by restoring sight to people around the world via many vision mission trips.
The Conroe Noon Lions Club Recycling Center provides an excellent back drop to initiate new members to the Lions signature service projects for sight conservation. Often the club uses the center for various meetings and events which further reinforces the size and scope of the club's efforts.
In 2007, an eyeglass manufacturing facility became a reality for the club to provide more eyeglasses for more children. Area students are examined by participating ophthalmologist and optometrists; then prescriptions are forward to the CNLC eyeglass lab. The lab is operated by Lion volunteers who have received special training to operate the digital machines that cut lenses to prescription accuracy. Once the lenses are cut and checked for accuracy, they are mounted in new frames. These new eyeglasses are then returned to the eye clinics for a final student fitting and accuracy testing under the supervision of licensed professionals. Local school administrators, nursing staff, local ophthalmologists and optometrists work very closely with the club to achieve the program's high degree of success. On average, CNLC assist 160 students each year with a new pair of eyeglasses.
The club also added Vision Screenings to its Sight Conservation efforts. In the beginning the club assisted District 2-S2 on a few screenings around the Houston area using borrowed equipment. After purchasing an Auto-refactor for acuity and a tonometer to measure pressures for early signs of glaucoma, a new sight program was begun. The club has done vision screenings at area clinics, churches, public events, and assisted other Lions clubs in the area. To better serve children, the club purchased a PediaVision machine in 2010. This piece of equipment has allowed the club to screen hundreds of school-aged children for early signs of sight issues. The efficiency and quickness of the camera gun provides a way to screen children in just a matter of seconds. Club members join with the Conroe Service League each October to screen pre-school children for hearing and vision problems at some 20+ day care centers in the Conroe area.
Additionally, in 2010 the Conroe Noon Lions Club began assisting the Montgomery County Homeless Coalition by providing vision related assistance. The club provides quarterly vision screenings, examinations, and glasses similar to that of the school program.
Through the Sight Conservation Committee, the club annually contributes to the Lighthouse of Houston, the Lions Eye Bank of Texas, Leader Dog, Benevolent Mission International and other eye care programs.
HEARING CONSERVATION PROGRAM – CNLC also supports a Hearing Conservation Program, which has assisted many of the area's school-aged children with hearing examinations as well as the repair or replacement of hearing aids.
SCHOLARSHIPS – CNLC has a very active Scholarship Committee, which awards an annual total of $20,000 in scholarship funds. These scholarships are awarded based on academic performance, leadership and activities, the desire to pursue higher education, and financial need. Consideration is also given, but not limited, to those planning to attend a trade or vocational school. These scholarship funds are available to seniors at Conroe High School and seniors of a State-accredited private/parochial school in the Conroe area.
YOUTH CONTESTS – Other scholarships funds are offered through the Outstanding Youth, Drug Awareness Speech, and the Diabetic Essay Contests. In each of these contests, candidates from Conroe High School make application and go through a judging process before a panel of membership. The top three students in each contest receives a $1,000 scholarship to be applied toward their college education. Furthermore, the First Place contestant is unable to attend the District contest, the Second Place contestant is given the same opportunity. The Third Place contestant would have the opportunity should the Second Place contestant be unable to participate in the District contest.
DRUG AWARENESS – In addition to the Drug Awareness Speech Contest, CNLC has been actively involved in the community and schools with Drug Awareness projects. For example, the Drug Awareness Committee has placed over 25 McGruff – Crime Dog puppets in area schools; presented special drug awareness programs; participated in Red Ribbon Week; and conducted poster contests.
LEO CLUB – CNLC also sponsors a Leo Club at Conroe High School. With the help of a School Advisor, these young people assist CNLC with our service projects as well as developing their own project fundraisers and community service activities.
BLOOD DRIVE – CNLC has supported many blood drive efforts. Several members remember drives made through the Red Cross during the years of the 1940s. In December of each year, CNLC sponsors a community Blood Drive by the Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center to help build an available supply of blood for use during the crucial, accident-prone holiday season.
LIONS PARK – During his tenure, Past President Dale Hamby initiated and promoted an idea of a "Lions Park" he had started in motion avenues of securing land with Moran Estate and the City of Conroe. Unfortunately, Dale and wife Billie met an untimely death in a plane crash; however, his vision for a "Lions Park" continued. Through many years of change, persistence, and working diligently with the City of Conroe, the sponsors of the Lions Park broke ground on June 17, 1997, and opened the park June 1999. The Lions Park is located off Loop 336 in the back of Robinwood Subdivision. Additions to the park include a runny track and covered pavilion.
Fundraising Activities
Fundraising activities for the club in the early years included broom and mop sales, light bulb sales, and selling various candies.
LIONS CLUB CARNIVAL – In the 1950s, the club started the annual "Lions Club Carnival," which was held downtown on Main Street each year in the fall. Some of the Carnival traditions included Lion George Darden at the BINGO tables. He always began with, "Welcome to the Lions Club Bingo, under B- Number 12." Cards were purchased for 10 cents each, but later the cost was raised to 25 cents. Also featured was the infamous CAKE WALK, for which each member was asked to bring two home-baked cakes. In the '70s this booth was headed by Lion Jimmie Edwards, who was State Representative. Lions Myron Coleman and Russ Clanton operated the CANDY GAME for many years, where Myron would bring Whitman Chocolates from his Capital Drug Store for the prizes. Another crowd favorite was the OVER/UNDER BOARD, operated by Lion Russ Clanton and Fred Lamp. Though some may have considered it gambling, it always drew the biggest crowds. But in the 1960s, Lion Eddie Stephans, then-Chief of Police brought this game to an end. One of the favorite booths for kids was the DUCK POND, "Win a duck – just ring the neck – 3 rings for a quarter." All 'rookie' Lions were required to operate the Duck Pond, because it was wet, dirty, and nasty. This game was scrutinized by the SPCA, because winners were given live baby ducks with no food or care instructions. Always a crowd-pleaser was the DUNKING TANK, as many tried to dunk the Sheriff, Chief of Police, football coaches, cheerleaders, and Golden Girls. The fiberglass tank, donated by Owen-Corning was about 12 feet in diameter. Although the members rigged it for heater water, it still got cold when the sun went down. The Carnival location changed several times from the parking lot of Weisinger-Buckalew Chevrolet at the corner of Frazier and Phillips Streets, to the North Hills (Woodcreek) Shopping Center, and to the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. In the early years, weather was always a problem and many a hamburger was cooked under hastily constructed tarps and tents. As the Carnival moved to the Fairgrounds, the big question was, "Would the people bring their kids to the Fairgrounds?" And they did! The Carnival flourished on until the 1980s.
LIONS CLUB RODEO – In 1988, CNLC cautiously sponsored a PRCA Rodeo. After its first-year success, the rodeo was held annually in September. Unfortunately, with wanting attendance and accelerating costs, the Fundraising Advisory Committee recommended that the club discontinue the rodeo in 2005 and seek other forms of fundraising. The club sponsored the PRCA Rodeo for 17 years.
COMMUNITY PARTNERS – The innovative CNLC Community Partners Program was established in 2006. For a one-time contribution at one of three, now one of four, specified dollar levels, an individual or business becomes a sponsor at all fundraising events and, more importantly, is recognized as a partner in the community all year long through all the club's service projects. In keeping with the club's sight conservation efforts, the partnership levels are named Knights of the Blind, Guiding Lights, Vision Ambassadors, and Sight Savers.
LEGEND OF THE LION– Dinner/Dance & Auction – With the establishment of the CNLC Community Partners Program the club was looking for ways to expand its annual Kick-off Dance & Auction which was held each year before the rodeo. In 2006, the club held its first 'Legend of the Lion' – Dinner/Dance & Auction where patrons enjoyed a wonderful steak & shrimp meal, a live and silent auction, and an evening of dancing. The huge success of the first dance at Haven's Landing caused the event to be loved the Lone Star Convention Center because of the need for space to host approximately 700 guests. Each year the Dinner/Dance & Auction has become a highly anticipated event of the entire community, and continues its success year after year.
Other major fundraisers include the Lucky Derby truck raffle, which takes place in November. In March, the annual CNLC Clay Shoot is held on the first weekend, and the club mans the concession stands at the Montgomery County Fair during the last week of March each year. Typically in late April or early May, the club sponsors its annual Golf Tournament at one of the many golf courses in the area. Occasionally the club will conduct roadblocks, White Cane Days, and other fundraising projects as needed. These activities allow the club to make its charitable contributions throughout the years, mainly benefiting the Conroe area.

Traditionally, CNLC hold its Annual Christmas Party in December to promote fellowship and fun for its members. The Annual Installation Banquet is held each year in June, at which new officers are installed and members are recognized for their hard work and dedication throughout the year. From 1996 – 2013, the Club held a Lions Family Picnic each October; where members fellowship with their families over a pot-luck meal, games, and activities for the whole family.
CNLC celebrated its 75th Anniversary on June 26, 2014 at Amber Springs – Stonebrook Hall, Montgomery, TX. The Anniversary was celebrated in a gala fashion with some 150 people in attendance, with several special guests from around the district and state. The program consisted of special recognitions from Lion Downey Price, MD for the clubs eyeglass recycling program, a Proclamation from the City of Conroe by Mayor Web Melder, and a special Anniversary recognition from club member and District 2-S2 Governor Eddie Risha. The key-note speaker was PID Lion Joe Al Picone of Brenham, TX. In recognition of the theme 'Celebrating Lions Legacies to Come', special Lion medallions were presented from club family members representing one generation and passing on Lion service to the next generation of Lions in the club. The club's Presidents lapel pen, which is believed to be the original, was handed from all those Past Presidents in attendance to the new in-coming President commemorating the traditions of the past to be handed over to the Lions of the future.

Manufacturing Scenario
This topic provides details about the Adventure Works Cycles manufacturing information that is represented in the AdventureWorks sample database, a list of manufacturing-related tables, and sample queries that demonstrate common table relationships.
Manufacturing Overview
In the AdventureWorks sample database, tables are provided that support the following typical manufacturing areas:
Manufacturing processes:
Bill of materials: Lists the products that are used or contained in another product.
Work orders: Manufacturing orders by work center.
Locations: Defines the major manufacturing and inventory areas, such as frame forming, paint, subassembly, and so on.
Manufacturing and product assembly instructions by work center.
Product inventory: The physical location of a product in the warehouse or manufacturing area, and the quantity available in that area.
Engineering documentation: Technical specifications and maintenance documentation for bicycles or bicycle components.
Manufacturing Tables
The following table contains a brief description of the data that is stored in the manufacturing tables.
Contains this kind of content
A list of all the components used to manufacture bicycles and bicycle subassemblies.
There is an intrinsic recursive relationship in the bill of material structure that indicates the relationship between a parent product and the components that make up that product. For example, if the parent product is a bicycle, the first-level component might be a wheel assembly. The wheel assembly has its own components, such as reflectors, rims, spokes, tires, and tire tubes.
The ProductAssemblyID column represents the parent, or primary, product and ComponentID represents the child, or individual, parts used to build the parent assembly.
The BOM_Level column indicates the level of the ComponentID relative to the ProductAssemblyID. In the previous example, the wheel assembly would have a BOM_Level of 1, the components of the wheel assembly would have a BOM_Level of 2, and so on.
Engineering specifications and other technical documentation.
The DocumentSummary column uses the varchar(max) data type. The Document column uses the varbinary(max) data type.
Bicycle manufacturing illustrations.
The illustrations are rendered in the manufacturing instructions that are contained in the ProductModel table. This column uses the xml data type.
A list of inventory and manufacturing areas within Adventure Works Cycles in which the products and parts are stored as inventory or built. For example, paint is stored in both the Paint Storage location in the warehouse and in the manufacturing work center, Paint Shop, where the bicycle frames are painted.
Information about each product sold by Adventure Works Cycles or used to manufacture Adventure Works Cycles bicycles and bicycle components.
The FinishedGoodsFlag column indicates whether a product is sold. Products that are not sold are components of a product that is sold. For example, a bicycle would be sold, but the sheet of metal used to create the bicycle frame would not.
The inventory level of products by their location. See Production.Location previously mentioned.
The product models associated with products. For example, Mountain-100 or LL Touring Frame.
The CatalogDescription column contains additional product information by using the xml data type. The Instructions column contains product manufacturing instructions by using the xml data type
A list of common reasons why bicycles or bicycles parts are rejected during the manufacturing process. For example, the scrap reason 'Paint failed' is used in the Paint work center to reject a bicycle frame for which the paint did not cure correctly.
The WorkOrderRouting table tracks the quantity scrapped and the reason for scrapping by product.
Depending on the severity of the problem, the product must be fixed or replaced before the product can move to the next work center.
Defines the products and quantity that must be manufactured to meet current and forecasted sales.
The details for each work order. This includes the sequence of work centers the product travels through in the manufacturing or assembly process. For example, bicycle handlebars are manufactured in the Frame Forming work center. They are moved to the Frame Welding work center for additional work, and then moved to the Subassembly work center, where they are added to the bicycle frame.
You can use the following queries to view manufacturing and product data and to become familiar with the manufacturing table relationships.
A. Viewing a multilevel bill-of-materials list for a parent product
The following example displays all the components that are used to create a specific parent product: ProductAssemblyID.
USE AdventureWorks;
WITH Parts(AssemblyID, ComponentID, PerAssemblyQty, EndDate, ComponentLevel) AS
SELECT b.ProductAssemblyID, b.ComponentID, b.PerAssemblyQty,
b.EndDate, 0 AS ComponentLevel
FROM Production.BillOfMaterials AS b
WHERE b.ProductAssemblyID = 800
AND b.EndDate IS NULL
SELECT bom.ProductAssemblyID, bom.ComponentID, p.PerAssemblyQty,
bom.EndDate, ComponentLevel + 1
FROM Production.BillOfMaterials AS bom
INNER JOIN Parts AS p
ON bom.ProductAssemblyID = p.ComponentID
AND bom.EndDate IS NULL
SELECT AssemblyID, ComponentID, Name, PerAssemblyQty, EndDate,
FROM Parts AS p
INNER JOIN Production.Product AS pr
ON p.ComponentID = pr.ProductID
ORDER BY ComponentLevel, AssemblyID, ComponentID;
B. Viewing Product Inventory
In the following example, the quantity that is available for each product is listed by its location in inventory. Products can be located in multiple locations.
USE AdventureWorks;
SELECT P.Name AS Product, L.Name AS [Inventory Location],
SUM(PI.Quantity)AS [Qty Available]
FROM Production.Product AS P
JOIN Production.ProductInventory AS PI ON P.ProductID = PI.ProductID
JOIN Production.Location AS L ON PI.LocationID = L.LocationID
GROUP BY P.Name, L.Name
ORDER BY P.Name ;
C. Viewing work orders by product
In the following example, all work orders are listed for products in the subcategories Mountain Bike (1), Road Bike (2), and Touring Bike (3).
USE AdventureWorks;
SELECT WorkOrderID, P.Name AS Product, OrderQty, DueDate
FROM Production.WorkOrder W
JOIN Production.Product P ON W.ProductID = P.ProductID
WHERE P.ProductSubcategoryID IN (1, 2, 3)
ORDER BY P.Name, DueDate ;

Pampered 'Firehouse Dog' doesn't hunt
Firehouse Dog: Comedy. Starring Josh Hutcherson, Bruce Greenwood and Bill Nunn. Directed by Todd Holland. (PG. 111 minutes. At Bay Area theaters.)
For a few minutes at least, "Firehouse Dog" looks as if it might be a decent family film. The fire station in the movie is sort of educational, the dog is certainly cute enough and actors Bruce Greenwood and Josh Hutcherson have a nice dynamic as a widowed workaholic father and his rebellious son.
But then Fido poops in a cauldron of chili, and all bets are off. If there was a good idea at the core of this film, it's been buried in an unsightly pile of flatulence jokes, dog-related bad puns and a ridiculous serial arson plot. As the plot gets needlessly complicated, parents and other adult chaperones will be yearning for the simplicity of "Lassie" -- or even one of those straight-to-video "Air Bud" sequels.
The film begins in the world of Rexxx, a pampered canine film star who has his own publicist, top billing on movies such as "Jurassic Bark" and "The Fast and the Furriest" and poodle groupies waiting in his trailer. After he's dropped out of a plane and presumed dead, Rexxx shows up at an urban firehouse, where he finds a less pampered life with Shane (Hutcherson) and his fire captain dad, Connor (Greenwood).
The scenes with father, son and dog are the best. Shane and Connor live like messy bachelors, and there's a funny running gag where the dog keeps trying to organize Shane's room. The characters in the firehouse are interesting, including a stern but lovable veteran (Bill Nunn) who is a horrible cook but keeps trying anyway.
But the film heads in too many directions, including subplots about the closure of the firehouse, a dog training competition and a criminal conspiracy that's hatched by some of the most bumbling felons this side of the "Home Alone" movies. The arsonists are matching wits with a 12-year-old and his gassy dog, and the bad guys still seem hopelessly overmatched.
Perhaps worst of all, the movie is painfully long. At about two hours including the trailers, even the most toilet humor-loving youngsters in the audience are likely to be squirming in their seats.
-- Advisory: This film contains a few mildly scary fire scenes, some gross-out humor and an allusion to multiple partner poodle sex.

Alphawood Gallery used to be a bank. For its latest exhibition, focusing on Japanese Americans incarcerated in U.S. camps during World War II, Alphawood curators placed a video of former Chicagoan inmates in front of the old bank vault, bars and all. The effect is striking: A familiar gallery in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood has become a jail.
"Then They Came For Me" marks the 75th anniversary of President Franklin Roosevelt's signing of Executive Order 9066, which authorized the "internment" of all people on the West Coast thought to be a threat to national security. Nearly 120,000 people of Japanese descent were "evacuated to and confined in isolated, fenced, and guarded relocation centers," according to the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration.Read More

These days its all about what you can do to reduce your impact on the earth, and how you can try to make small changes to become more earth friendly. This year, to celebrate Earth Day, here at Faviana we wanted to look into a few ways for us all do our part to give the earth some love. Even small changes make a difference! See what you can do to make yourself more environmentally friendly, and challenge yourself for Earth Day. Here are our tips for 8 Ways to Make Your Life Greener!
1. Reusable Bags
Many of us already carry around a million bags, so this one is a no-brainer. Have a reusable shopping bag tucked into your usual bag, so whenever you find yourself at the store you can use it. Go for something with sturdy handles, so you only have to carry one or two bags! Save yourself from that massive pile of plastic bags we all have in our kitchen pantries, and try to train yourself to need less plastic. Better yet, invest in a bag made from recycled plastic!
2. Wash in Cold
While warm water seems like the best way for a deep clean, cool water is actually better for keeping bright colors in clothing! Try switching your laundry routine to cold water, and invest in a biodegradable laundry detergent. Cold water is also a great way to avoid shrinking that sweater that fits perfectly!
3. Turn Everything Off
We all often forget that many appliances still use energy even when they aren't turned on. Get in the habit of unplugging the toaster and your hair curler every time you are done using them. Also challenge yourself to turn off all lights when you leave a room!
4. Compost
This is new in many cities, so check if your city has started to compost! This is an easy way to dispose of food waste, and give back to the earth. Some cities even provide the bin, which you can put out on the curb with your trash on trash day.
5. Buy Local
Not only is it great to support your local shops and neighbors, but it's actually very energy efficient! Look into buying your favorite seasonal fruits and veggies as local as you can get them. Local products reduce costs in transportation and shipping, thus reducing their carbon footprint. They are also so much fresher!
6. Meatless Mondays
The process of processing and packaging meat for sale in grocery stores creates lots of waste. If you love a good burger, or need that added protein in your caesar salad, try reducing meat just one day a week. If everyone did it imagine the impact it would have!
7. Donate or Repurpose
Many of us fashion lovers have closets full of clothes we outgrew or don't love anymore, so why not donate them! Second hand stores and thrift stores are a great way for someone else to get some use out of something you no longer want, and this ultimately helps reduce waste in the fashion industry. Don't ever wear something but don't want to give it up? Try some DIY projects to repurpose your favorite items, like cut off shorts or turning that favorite dress into a skirt. Also check out our Upcycle Program if you are looking to donate your prom dress!
8. Educate Yourself!
Take some initiative and look into ways that you can personally become more green! Do a little Earth Day research and see if you can make a few small changes that could make a big impact. Check out local organizations who specialize in making green changes in your community, or volunteer for a charity that does something you are passionate about!
