Emmitsburg, Md. (February 18, 2012)--Mount St. Mary's was edged by Monmouth, 68-66, on Saturday night at Knott Arena. Sophomore Julian Norfleet paced the Mountaineers with 21 points in the loss.
The Mount used a 12-3 run midway through the second half to take a 60-51 lead with 9:12 left in the game. Norfleet started the run with a three-pointer ahead of a Raven Barber tip-in. After a Monmouth three cut the Mount lead to 53-51, Norfleet drained another three to push the lead back to five. Barber added a free throw and Kelvin Parker capped the run with a traditional three-point play to give the Mount the nine-point advantage.
The Hawks (10-19, 8-8 NEC), who clinched a spot in the Northeast Conference Tournament with the win, then scored the next 10 points to take the lead. Dion Nesmith, who scored a team-high 20 points in the win, capped the run with a three-pointer to give Monmouth a 61-60 lead with 5:07 left.
Josh Castellanos answered with a pair of free throws, but Mike Myers Keitt and Nesmith hit back-to-back threes to push the Monmouth lead to 67-62 with 3:39 left.
Trailing 68-64 with just under a minute left, Parker provided a highlight reel tip-in dunk to cut the Monmouth lead to 68-66 with 52 seconds left. Monmouth forward Ed Waite was fouled on the next possession, but he missed both free throws, giving the Mount a chance to tie or take the lead.
The Mount (7-20, 5-11 NEC) turned the ball over on that possession, and was forced to foul Jesse Steele with 3.1 seconds left. Steele missed the free throw, but Norfleet was unable to get a shot off in the final seconds, allowing Monmouth to escape with the victory.
Norfleet hit 7-of-14 from the field and was 4-for-9 from beyond the arc to lead the Mount with 21 points. Barber added 13 points and nine boards off the bench while senior Danny Thompson chipped in 13 points and six rebounds in his final appearance at Knott Arena. Parker finished with eight points and a career-high 11 rebounds in the loss.
Nesmith was 6-for-7 from three-point range to lead Monmouth with his 20-point effort while Andrew Nicholas chipped in 19 points in the victory. Monmouth was a sizzling 14-for-25 (.560) from three-point range in the game.
Mount St. Mary's is two games out of the final spot in the NEC Tournament with two games to play. The Mount needs to win its final two games and have Sacred Heart drop its final two contests to earn the playoff bid. The top eight teams in the NEC standings advance to the NEC Tournament.
The Mount heads to Central Connecticut State on Thursday, Feb. 23, for a 7:00 p.m. game. The game will be televised live on MSG and at 9:00 p.m. on the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN).

Dubai Yellow Pages Online
Remember when you had to find a phone book and flip through hundreds of pages in order to find a local business?
The use of Yellow Pages has declined over 50 percent in the last five years. People now conduct quick searches on one of the many popular online directories. Since Internet search is the primary tool to finding businesses today, it's vital to make sure your business is listed on all applicable online directories.
Yellow pages are the telephone directory pages that are used to advertise or to list businesses. They are normally categorized according to the service and product. The name came from the way that these information were only printed on yellow pages while the white pages were meant for no-commercial numbers.
The uses of yellow pages come about accidentally when someone who was printing the directory run out of the white papers and used the yellow papers instead. Now its used by all people regardless if they speak English or not. In other countries, it can be just referred to as golden pages.
The yellow pages provide an alphabetical business within the geographical area and they are put under one heading for the same business. Normally these directories where only published by a phone company. However, it has become a business and many independent publishers began to print them.
Business Directory or Yellow Pages are normally published annually and they can be distributed free in some coverage area. Most of listings are done in a small and plain black text. The publishers make money by selling advertising space and listing for every heading. These places can be sold by CMR or direct sale force. The space sold differs according to the publishers and the cost. It can range from just bolding names or to colored twin pages ads.
The price on advertising in yellow pages changes each year regardless the usages fluctuations and distribution. The payment is done once before the printing or can be done monthly after the printing for the year since after the year a new directory is published. Normally there are sales representative who are ready to assist their customers in designing their advertisements and they present the last proof copy for review or approval. Some of the contracts are renewed each year without signing a new contract. The advertisers is the one to stop any future printing of his advertisement when he wants to stop being billed.
However the used of mobile phone and internet has seen to the decrease of using advertisement in yellow papers for both shoppers and advertisers. Now they are turning more on online directories and internet search engines. This is why you will find that there are many versions of Business Directory or Yellow Pages online.

A man of few words, Boris has a firm way of saying No, but Jan knows he's her mate. Despite some less than subtle overtures, she hasn't had much success in getting her bullheaded moose to notice her, but all that changes when her life is put in danger.
Suddenly the damaged soldier keeps finding excuses to come to her rescue, but as far as Jan is concerned, her mate is the one in need of saving. It will take some subtle maneuvering to outfox her moose into admitting he loves her, but this wily vixen is more than ready for the challenge. And if that doesn't work, momma's offered to loan her the shot gun...

Yes, we know, a little early in the week for real estate voyeurism, but DCistpointed out today that Bravo TV has posted a video of the D.C. mansion that contestants called home for the upcoming season of "Top Chef."
Incidentally, this five-bedroom Kalorama home at 2121 Leroy Place NW (map) sold today for $3.6 million. Initially offered at $3.89 million, the home was on the market for several months. It sold back in 2006 for $5.25 million.
The house is fairly impressive in that old-school Kalorama style. But we did expect the kitchen to be a little bigger.
Here is the full listing, and following are some more photos:

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Dave Hart heads into his final days as Tennessee's athletic director confident that the program is in better shape now than when he arrived in the fall of 2011.
''We really have come a long way,'' Hart said Wednesday in an interview with The Associated Press. ''You almost have to have been in the building, almost have to have been a part of all that to fully understand what those challenges were, and where we are now. As I've cleaned out my office over the weekend and (have been) going through files, it brings all that back. It's gratifying, honestly.''
Hart, who turned 68 on Tuesday, announced in August that he was stepping down . Tennessee announced March 2 that John Currie would be replacing him . Currie, the former Kansas State athletic director, officially replaces Hart on Saturday .
Results on the field don't necessarily indicate Tennessee has shown much improvement under Hart's leadership. Tennessee ranked 22nd in the Directors' Cup all-sports standings in 2010-11 but hasn't finished in the top 30 since.
''That will all fall into place,'' Hart said. ''We've made progress. We've got some really good coaches in our program. All of that will happen in time.''
But there are other areas in which Tennessee has made major strides.
Hart helped upgrade Tennessee's facilities while dramatically improving the financial situation of an athletic department that had posted a $3.98 million budget deficit in the 2011-12 financial year. Tennessee also significantly elevated its Academic Progress Rate performance and the grade point average of its student-athletes during Hart's tenure.
One of his biggest objectives upon his arrival was boosting the health of the football program. After posting four straight losing seasons from 2010-13, Tennessee has won bowl games each of the last three years, though it still hasn't won a division title since 2007. Tennessee's average home attendance of 100,968 last season was its highest since 2008.
''We've done a lot of the things we set out to do,'' Hart said.
His tenure also featured several challenges, ranging from the elimination of the Lady Volunteers nickname and logo for all women's sports other than basketball to the $2.48 million settlement of a Title IX lawsuit filed against the school regarding its handling of assault complaints against athletes.
Hart announced in August that he was stepping down effective June 30. But his contract terms allowed Tennessee to hire a new AD before June 30 and accelerate Hart's retirement as long as he receives 15 days written notice. Hart made his announcement after Tennessee opted against giving him an extension and raise.
Once Tennessee's basketball season ended, Hart says he started thinking more about how close he was to his final day on the job. He says that about 60 student-athletes visited his home Monday and played him a video, gave him a cake and sang ''Happy Birthday'' to him.
Hart also has been spending some time with his successor. Hart didn't play any role in choosing the next athletic director and says he doesn't know Currie particularly well beyond occasional chats at various meetings of athletic directors across the country. But he added that they've had ''multiple conversations'' in the four weeks since Currie was hired.
''He's been very gracious each and every time,'' Hart said. ''He knows that I am here to help him in any way possible, in any way he deems that he needs assistance.''
Hart would like to stay involved in college athletics in some capacity. After spending the next few months visiting friends and relatives, Hart said he won't get around to planning his next step until at least midway through the summer.
''I don't know what opportunities might be out there,'' Hart said. ''Certainly if something comes to my attention that excites me, then and only then will I begin to have those conversations.''

Hello peeps, happy Sunday y'all…
Procrastination is indeed the thief of time, this post should have gone up last week but alas…
BTW happy belated Valentine, One of my highlights this vals day was party crashing with this crazy lady right here lol. The story is, bae was contracted for a birthday party and he invited me but I knew I will be lonely and awkward when he's busy so I called my sidekick to my rescue. The funny thing was the uninvited people, Namely Araba and I ate more than the actual invited guests. Ha-ha you should have seen us.
Party Crashing with Miss Anderson
I'm really in love with my skirt from Joyceful kouture Honestly I was surprised that it was so cheap after researching how much similar ones cost. The quality of this skirt is quite impeccable; the fullness of it makes me love it even more, It allows me to be free and comfortable but still chic! I decided to wear a white dry lace top to neutralize the look but overall I love the simplicity of this look 🙂
Party Crashing with Miss Anderson
Miss Anderson here, wore this red dress mixed with African print because she was having valentine chills…he-he, her style is amazing and she makes me want to give corn roll a try. We had much fun at the party and later decided to work on a blog shoot; we really didn't have a theme to work with but everything synced in just fine.
Hope you like, Tell us what you think.

Creating customized acquisition strategies for independent insurance agencies.
BD Capital Partners acquires independent insurance agencies: that's what we do. But how we do it is truly what differentiates us. Instead of coming in with a one-size-fits-all strategy, we bring personalized solutions to the table.
We know that owners of independent insurance agencies sell for a variety of reasons. When it's done the right way, acquisition solves the problems that cause owners the most stress and concern, such as: lack of a succession plan, inability to grow the business past a certain point, issues with technology implementation, and struggles with effective marketing strategies and CSR systems.
The partners at BD Capital have more than 100 years of combined experience in the industry. We understand the owner's point of view: we start from there and work to craft a customized acquisition strategy.
We also know that owners often want to stay involved after selling the business. We work closely with owners to figure out what kind of involvement best suits them. Our employment contracts are flexible and customizable—letting you stay engaged during the transition and ultimately achieve greater peace of mind.
The first step is a conversation. Contact BD Capital today to find out if our approach is a good fit for your agency >

We all know by now that for each of us, living a life of prayer can be as easy as 1, 2, 3. Over the past year we've been exploring that individual call to live prayerfully and in the coming year we want to become equally as thirsty in our corporate prayer life.

Crush delayed as mill still in lockdown after explosion (May 27, 2016)
CRUSHING at Marian Mill will be delayed until at least Wednesday, as parts of the mill remain in lockdown following a boiler explosion.
Mackay Sugar chief executive officer Jason Lowry said Workplace Health and Safety were still assessing the boiler area following the explosion early Tuesday morning, and said his company had been unable to begin their own investigation.
While Mackay Sugar's other two mills, Farleigh and Racecourse, would begin crushing at 10am Monday Marian would begin on Wednesday at the earliest, or Friday at the latest, depending on the extent on the damage.
Mr Lowry explained the mill had always been scheduled to operate with one boiler and one train line initially, although it was boiler number three that had originally been expected to be offline.
But following the problem with boiler number one, which had taken the "lions share" of a $10-11 million investment in the past six months, upgrades had been sped up on boiler number three and were expected to be finished on Sunday.
They would then need to do steam trials on Monday and Tuesday.
Despite not being able to begin investigations yet, Mr Lowry said he had seen the boiler since the blow-out.
"The exit ducting of the boiler has opened up and the front and rear wall of the boiler at the bottom have moved so there's clearly been a pressure increase in the boiler due to the change of the fuel from solid to gas in a quick fashion," Mr Lowry said.
Mr Lowry said there were five employees on site at the time on the explosion who reported a "definite boom".
"They were shaken up obviously. It's a heck of a shock to go through something like that," he said.
He said during the weekend his people would put together than plans and schedules for putting the number one boiler back on line.

The boiler "failure" happened at Crossroads West Side in the 8500 block of Bridgetown Road at about 2:40 p.m., Fire Chief Steve Ober said. The failure sent shrapnel flying and blew out windows.
The five men — two repairmen and three church staff — were taken to University of Cincinnati Medical Center, officials said. Four had minor injuries, and one had serious cuts on his face.
"A lot of superficial cuts, scrapes — the one gentleman who we believe, obviously, was closest to the boiler did get some severe lacerations to his face, but again, nothing life-threatening," Ober said. "They're all going to be sore. There's going to be lots of bumps and bruises because a lot of debris probably hit them. It'd be like getting punched a few times."
Fire crews were still investigating the cause of the boiler failure.
Crossroads posted on Facebook that building officials were checking out the structure. The church hoped to have normal services this weekend.

Sneak peak at the Droid Does Motorola Droid Bionic page points to a $299 price tag
Well, well. What have we here? We've been handed what our tipster says is an early version of the Droid Does page for the Motorola Bionic. We're told it's set to go live the first week of August. Specs aren't any different than we've seen, but it's the price that's really standing out -- $299 on contract. That's gonna hurt. But we've been there before, haven't we.
Specs are said to be what we've already been told -- 4.3-inch pentile touchscreen at qHD resolution, TI OMAP 4430 dual-core processor at 1GHz, 1GHz DDR2 RAM clocked at 10hh MHz, that whole Motorola Webtop thing, 8MP rear camera, 2MP front-facing camera. We also get its height and weight statistics -- 2.66 inches wide, 4.95 inches tall and 0.52 inches thick, weighing 5.56 ounces. (Let's hope they fix that whole length-width-height thing before launch.)
So, that's what we've got. Last-minute changes to this sort of thing aren't unheard of, but we're certainly getting closer to launch, it seems, and remember that leaked screen from Sam's Club pointing to Aug. 4. Stay tuned, folks.
More: Droid Bionic forums; Thanks anon!

I recently had someone ask me how I setup my AP Government classroom. I figured I would write a post about it since it was just easier to explain. This is going to be my 7th year of teaching (wow how fast time flies) and my 5th year teaching AP Government and Politics. I finally feel comfortable with the content and preparation after my 4th year.
Warning: I make money off of this idea.
The Top Ten Ways I Structure my AP Government and Politics Course
1. AP Government 1 Page Chapter Summaries: Last year I gave each chapter review page during the structure AP Government review time. This year I am giving these chapter summaries before every test and collecting them and placing them into a student file folder. At the end of April I will be giving the folders back to my students and they will already have the review sheets completed. The 11 chapter summaries are one page handouts that are very simple and graphically appealing, which include the most essencial information in EVERY chapter in AP Government. This would be a great supplement to do for AP review or to include as you learn each unit to make a study guide for the AP exam in May.
2. Free Response Essay Packet: This is a 12 page document of all the AP Government and Politics Free Response Questions (FRQ's) from the past 14 years. The document contains all FRQ's from 1999-2013. FRQ's are subdivided in unit and historical order. This is a VERY useful tool to have for an AP Government student. I plan on reviewing previous FRQ's with my students before each unit test and during the structured AP review time.
3. How to Write a Free Response Essay Handout: This is a handout on how to write a Free Response Essay on the AP Government exam. It has helpful tips and suggestions to write the essay.
4. AP Government Vocabulary List: This is a list of over 300 vocabulary words that are essential when learning AP Government and Politics. The vocabulary words are organized by unit (9 units total). The vocabulary words and definition are organized in alphabetical order. I give this packet out at the beginning of the year to help my students study and learn the material. We also play bingo before every unit test. My students fill in the words for the chapter to the blank bingo card and I read the definitions from the vocabulary list.
5. Socratic Seminar Handout: This is a handout to encourage students to have rules and expectations with socratic seminars. This handout is very useful when introducing the socratic seminar as a form of discussion in any class. I usually assign a controversial article related to AP Government and students must generate three socratic style questions for homework. My students then come to class ready to discuss the article through the socratic method.
6. Government Chapter Reading Questions: This is a list of 3-5 essential critical reading questions for each unit of government. This handout can be modified for any book or government course since the content is the same. I usually give this handout out at the beginning of the year and have my students read the chapter and respond to the questions in an extended response format.
7. Student Self-Evaluation for Classroom Participation: This is a student self-evaluation on their own level of classroom participation. I joke with my student's that I have the final VETO say in their grade for participate but I do let them self-reflect and evaluate their own behavior.
8. Debate Assignment: This is a debate assignment for six separate government debates. The debate structure, rubric, audience rubric, audience evaluation guide, and guidelines are included. My class does these debates in two teams of two for each topic. The rest of the class is the audience. These debates were specifically planned for one debate for each unit.
Debate topics:
1. Voting should be compulsory in our democracy
2. The American two-party system is so strong that voting for third party candidates cannot effectively influence public policy.
3. There should be term limits for members of Congress.
4. Direct popular vote should replace the Electoral College.

Interiors: An Asian-Inspired Jewel Box
In a departure from the white backdrop of recently featured interiors, today's design uses a rich, jewel toned palette. The Manhattan apartment of designer Alex Papachristidis showcases his style to a tee with plenty of pattern and lush fabrics. I'm particularly fond of the living and dining rooms. Here, Alex uses purple (yay!) to unify both spaces while incorporating an array of violets and blues among Asian-inspired pieces.
While some may shy away from the overly ornate, Alex balances various patterns and furnishings with a congruent ease. The key: a harmonious color palette. Almost everything is from the same part of the color wheel ranging from blue to red.
The walls of the dining room are covered in purple wool and finished with nailhead trim – a great idea for any small space. With its chandelier and dark lacquered pieces, the room reminds me of David Kaihoi's equally stunning, yet tiny, apartment.
What do you think? Too busy?

Orlando Bathroom Remodeling Experts
Remodeling the bathroom is perhaps one of the best things you can do for the value and comfort of your home. It is also one of the most difficult jobs for a homeowner to tackle on their own. When you don't go about it the right way, you can expect big problems. By taking the following steps, however, you have the opportunity to get through the remodel successfully and you will love the results.
Perhaps the most important part of remodeling the bathroom is to get things started on the right foot. That is why careful planning should be the first thing that is completed. The bathroom may be the smallest room in the home but when it comes to potential problems with a remodel; it is near the top of the list.
The planning should not only include some consideration of what is going to go into the bathroom, you would want to carefully measure out everything in advance. When you are working in tight quarters, one little mistake with the planning could spell disaster. Take the time to measure everything out in advance and you will be less likely to run into problems.
Have you given any thought to your budget? Remodeling the bathroom does have its benefits but it can also get expensive, depending on how extensive of a remodel you are considering. There are also many different options available, from the tile on the floor to the fixtures on the wall. You can tailor your choices to meet any budget but you need to plan them out in advance to make sure you can get the job finished.
Orlando Bathroom Remodeling
One of the problems that many people run into is that they tend to add items to their bathroom remodel as they go along. This isn't a problem in and of itself but it can have an impact on the budget. It is always best to have your budget set from the start and then to stick with that budget throughout the project. Your budget goes hand in hand with the planning process. It is the one-two punch that gets your project started.
Most of us would say that we are familiar with the layout of the bathroom but we need to know it clearly when a remodel is on the horizon. At times, we may be dealing with tight quarters and it could make things difficult if we try to estimate what is possible. Take the time to measure everything carefully, making sure that everything will fit in place when it goes back together. Inches matter when you are working in a small area.
At this point, the project planning should be getting fun. It's time to start picking out materials for the remodel. As you start to look at the different options, you might be a little overwhelmed with how many choices you have available. It's possible to pick up almost everything at a local hardware store but if you are looking for something specific, you might want to check out the local specialty shops.
As you are looking at the various materials that could be included in your bathroom remodel, it might actually change your perception of what is possible for the finished project. Doing this shopping before you actually start the project will also help you to have a better idea of what you plan on spending. Just remember to stick within your budget. If necessary, revisit it, but avoid the temptation to allow little additions to blow your budget before you even get started.
At this point in the process, you should take the time to pick out everything that is going to go into the finished bathroom. Have it all picked out before the project starts, including flooring, lighting, plumbing, fixtures, cabinets, etc. It will help you to stick with your goals and make it possible for you to get finished with the project with the fewest headaches.
Your overall needs for completing the project will need to be nailed down before you start working in the area. You might feel comfortable replacing the fixtures or perhaps doing some drywall work but there are many specialty jobs that take place in the bathroom. There is also something else to consider, unexpected problems.
The bathroom might look like a simple project on the surface but once the remodeling work actually begins, you should expect some surprises. Moving toilets, sinks and tubs will expose parts of the home behind the walls that haven't been seen since they were first constructed. You should always expect the unexpected and have a backup plan for when something goes wrong.
Perhaps the best piece of advice that anyone could give to you when you are facing a bathroom remodel is to contact a professional. They can work with you to make sure that things go well and that the entire project sticks to the plan, regardless of whether you are talking about timetables or budget.

Home working tips offered
A rising number of people are working from home and some of these individuals choose to take advantage of special garden office buildings. Using spaces like this can help them to concentrate better than if they simply set up a desk in the main body of their abodes and they can also enable individuals to achieve a better separation between their working hours and time off. Companies like Armstrong Steel offer a wide verity of options for your garden office.
However, as well as taking advantage of garden studios like this, individuals sometimes need further assistance to help them achieve the level of productivity and success they are looking for.
Writing on ITProPortal recently, Joe Martin provided a number of pointers to those who work from home.
For example, he pointed to the importance of reliable web connections. About this, he said: "Telecommuting sounds like it should be something you can just launch straight into if you've already got a computer at home, but in fact you'll need to prepare a lot of stuff in advance – not least of which is a decent, uncapped Internet connection."
He also advised people to find out where their local library or internet cafe is just in case they lose connection one day.
In addition, it is crucial for home workers to have all the files and software they need to do their work, Mr Martin noted.
Meanwhile, when it comes to keeping in touch with colleagues, mobile phones can be vital and video conferencing solutions are also helpful, he suggested.
Having appropriate furniture is crucial as well, Mr Martin stated. He remarked: "Make sure you consider your hardware needs too, as back strain and RSI are even less fun when you don't have an HR department to complain to. Getting hold of a full size or ergonomic keyboard or mouse is essential if you're working from a laptop."
These days, it is easy for people to ensure their garden offices are properly equipped and are comfortable to work from.

Preparation of 2,2′-(hydrazine-1,2-diyl)dibenzoic acid
A solution is made of 33.4 grams (0.2 mole) of pure o-nitrobenzoic acid in 120 ml. 40% sodium hydroxide solution and 40 ml. water, by heating to 100°. Zinc dust is added to this solution, in small portions with vigorous stirring, at such a rate that the temperature of the solution stays at 100-105° without external heating, continuing the addition until the originally deep yellowish brown solution is completely decolorized. About 40-50 grams of zinc dust is required, depending on its quality, and the addition requires about 15 minutes. As soon as the solution becomes colorless, 600 ml. hot water is added, and the excess zinc dust is filtered off and washed with hot water. The filtrate is treated with 20 ml. 2 N acetic acid and a few drops of sodium bisulfite solution (to prevent oxidation), and then 140 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid is added dropwise with good stirring. At this point, the solution should be strongly acid to litmus, but not to Congo red, so that rearrangement does not occur. (The acetic acid added earlier facilitates attainment of the correct acidity.) A filtered test portion of the solution should give no precipitate on addition of acetic acid, and additional acid is added if necessary. The solution is then cooled and the 2,2′-(hydrazine-1,2-diyl)dibenzoic acid, which separates in a crystalline, easily filterable form, is filtered off with suction and washed thoroughly with cold water.

Oprah Winfrey officially raised the bar Sunday evening at the Golden Globes with her acceptance speech for the Cecil B DeMille Award. It's safe to say that we probably all expected something phenomenal to come out of her mouth. But I don't think we were expecting her words to be as touching as they were. Ms. Winfrey boldly declared what seemed like a new revolution of power, calling out injustices such as the wage gap and sexual assault.
Winfrey proclaimed that instead of bashing the media for "fake news", that she is instead relying on the media more than ever before. With years under her belt as a public figure, and the host The Oprah Winfrey Show, many may have forgotten her journalistic roots. It was her passion for telling stories and giving others a platform to share their voice that pushed Oprah to create iconic platforms like the Oprah Winfrey Show, O Magazine, and now The Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN). The outspoken media mogul literally made people stand up and cheer as she addressed the social issues that have been swept under the rug for so long, and boldly shouted "Their Time Is Up!". Her call for justice was met with tears, applause, awe, and even the hashtag #Oprah2020
Now, I'm not exactly sure Oprah even has a desire to run for Presidential office, but what that outpouring of support did tell us was that people are still feeling a strong need for inspiration, support, and a motivating message; even ones with large bank accounts. I watched as women in the entertainment industry stood up and cheered at the words coming from Oprah, and I was reminded that although the world throws everything at us to cause division and strife, that deep down inside we all still hurt the same way. At that moment I didn't see a room full of stuffy rich Hollywood actors. I saw a room full of PEOPLE. Men and women who in some way or another could understand and empathize with what Oprah was saying. People nodded in agreement as she called out farm workers, tech professionals, athletes, and countless others whose names we will never hear.
Today I sit in reflection and introspection; wondering what it is that I can do to empower others. I think of my little 15 minutes spent with Oprah, and the amount of inspiration she gave me. The feeling of endless possibility is almost overwhelming. I see the power of movement, and the people who are tired of sitting down waiting for something to happen.
What will you do? How will you help keep the movement going? Time is up. A new day is on the horizon.
To donate to the Time's Up foundation, check out their GoFundMe page, where any amount is welcomed and appreciated.
