How to Use the Distributive Property of Multiplication
In math, distribution (also called the distributive property of multiplication over addition) allows you to split a large multiplication problem into two smaller ones and add the results to get the answer.
If you've ever tried to carry a heavy bag of groceries, you may have found that distributing the contents into two smaller bags is helpful. This is similar to how the distributive property works for multiplication.
Here's an example: multiply 17 101 using the distributive property.
1. Simplify the numbers.
In this example, 101 = 100 + 1, so:
17 101 = 17 (100 + 1)
Split the problem into two easier problems.
Take the number outside the parentheses, and multiply it by each number inside the parentheses, one at a time.
= (17 100) + (17 1)
3. Add the products.
At this point, you may be able to solve the two multiplications in your head and then add them up easily:
= 1,700 + 17
= 1,717

Similar Cami // Embroidered Shorts // Black Sandals // Similar Clutch // Sunglasses // Bracelet // Lipgloss
I hope all of you are having a fun and relaxing Memorial Day weekend with family and friends. The weather here in northern California has been absolutely perfect! Justin and I spent half of the weekend running some errands to get ready for our upcoming vacation and the other half watching Harry Potter weekend on Freeform. I'm still working on finishing the books but sadly, won't finish before we go to Harry Potter World in two weeks. Justin is so excited! Today I decided to take the day off to pack and get organized. J and I are going on a whirlwind trip in a couple days...five cities in one week to be exact...Northern Virginia, DC, Tampa, Orlando, Newport Beach, and finally back home. Phew!
Above you'll find my version of a Memorial Day outfit. I wanted to stay away from stars and stripes this year. I love how these embroidered shorts (under $20) paired with the blue cami (on sale for $27) still has red, white and blue without being so obvious. Both my shorts and top are really affordable and look great dressed up with a nice pair of black sandals, black clutch, and a red lip. I purchased an hd lip lacquer in Strawberry Topaz last week and OMG is it pigmented! It's even better than lipstick because your lips stay hydrated. I'm also wearing a gold bracelet I picked up yesterday during one of the Memorial Day sales and it's 50% off, making it only $16. I've been on the lookout for a gold link bracelet and this one fits just perfect!

Trip PlanningTuesday, March 30th, 2010
I love the Qantas 747 but on the next trip to the USA in May I will actually get to fly on the Qantas A380 for the first time. This will be QF94 from LAX to Melbourne. I actually paid a little more to get onto this flight. The other flights are all on Qantas 747s and an American Airlines 767. The routing is:
Melbourne – Sydney – San Francisco – New York – Los Angeles – Melbourne
I will be staying for 6 nights in San Francisco and another 6 nights in New York. Can't wait!
The photo above is the Qantas Airbus A380 just about to cross Sepulveda Blvd in LA.

Latest News
Excuse for broker fiasco a tough sell
The words reached up from my Miami Herald and switched on an epiphany: So that explains it.
That's why, between 2000 and 2007, the Office of Financial Regulation allowed 10,529 ex-cons to peddle mortgages in Florida: Because Florida believes so fervently in rehab.
Less-progressive states push convicted felons into tough, menial jobs. They work their way back into society's trust as construction laborers, metal fabricators, dock workers, janitors.
But Florida puts them to work in the mortgage industry. Right off. No questions asked.
The Herald's Jack Dolan, Matthew Haggman and Rob Barry documented how OFR allowed thousand of felons to become mortgage brokers. The felonious brokers lured the elderly, poor and disabled into outlandish mortgage scams. They invented wildly inflated appraisals, composed mendacious loan applications. They defrauded borrowers. They absconded with millions.
Their legion of dodgy loans helped create a bubble ready to burst. They made Florida No. 1 in mortgage fraud.
Why would the agency let so many bad actors loose in a vulnerable industry? Incompetence? Laziness? Or was it laissez faire gone wild in an administration philosophically opposed to regulating business?
OFR's official answer was deep in Sunday's story. Terry Straub, director of the agency's division of finance, was explaining why his office handed out licenses to people with records ranging from fraud to cocaine conviction to murder. "We look at all the facets around, you know, whatever file, and we predicate on the fact that everybody deserves another chance, " he said.
Florida's determination to give convicts a second chance also came as something of an epiphany to Mark Maur, executive director of the Washington-based Sentencing Project. He tussled for years with state officials over Florida's reluctance to restore voting rights to ex-convicts. Yet, ex-cons who couldn't get voting cards in Florida had no trouble getting their mortgage broker licenses.
Admittedly, some were convicted of crimes that don't necessarily suggest they'd make lousy mortgage brokers. The Kissimmee fellow who strangled his wife and dumped her body into Tampa Bay might not be a such a great bet for a marriage license, but wifely homicide entails a different criminal bent than mortgage fraud. (The Herald found 15 convicted killers received licenses between 2000 and 2007). The same argument might apply to the 84 sex offenders, 253 drug dealers or 835 convicted of assault and battery.
The argument gets tougher for 922 larceny convicts, 327 burglars and 67 robbers.
But the 252 convicted of fraud and 161 for forgery just don't seem like ideal candidates for jobs with access to Social Security numbers and personal financial records.
Even Maur, who crusades for open-minded employment opportunities for former prisoners, was startled to find out Florida allows convicted frauds back into the henhouse. "We're opposed to overly broad employment restrictions, but we recognize that some restrictions should be tied to occupations, " he said.
"You don't allow pedophiles to work in a day-care center. And convicted frauds . . ." Maur's statement trailed off into a disbelieving question. "As mortgage brokers?"

If you search the web for "root canals" right now, chances are you will get two kinds of results: advertisements for local endodontists (root canal specialists) and articles on the dangers root canal treatment. Multiple pages will come up claiming endodontics are everything from toxic to cancer causing and even DNA altering. Is there any merit to these arguments? In this article, we hope to show you the truth behind root canals- a safe and remarkable treatment that has saved millions of teeth from extraction!
Before we explain the controversy behind endodontics, we need to clarify how the procedure works in general. When a tooth becomes traumatized -be it from decay, physical force or extreme temperatures- the nerve tissue inside can become irritated and dies. This leaves behind a perfect space for bacteria to colonize and form an abscess. The abscess is a collection of bacteria that your immune system has contained and walled off, but cannot eliminate.
A root canal tries to interrupt this process before the abscess leads to a dangerous systemic infection or damages the tooth beyond repair. Essentially, the inner tooth structure is cleaned, shaped and sterilized using very specific techniques. After the tooth is completely prepared, the roots are filled with a material called Gutta Percha. Gutta Percha is a natural rubber derived from tree sap that both seals the tooth and resists breakdown. After the endodontic treatment is completed, a crown is placed for increased rigidity and longevity.
Many articles that criticize endodontic treatment quote studies that were performed by Dr. Weston Price in the 1920's. His research indicated that bacteria from incompletely sealed root canals could spread out to the rest of the body and cause systemic problems like arthritis and cancer. These conclusions were quickly disproved, as his data was obtained using outdated and inaccurate scientific methods. Current research shows no correlation between root canal treatment and increased risk for any disease. It is important to remember that the end goal of endodontics is to lower the bacterial load from infection, so that your immune system can naturally eliminate any residual microorganisms. In this sense, endodontics seek to work with your body, not against it!
Still, many internet blogs insist that root canals can cause cancer. A commonly quoted statistic is that 97% of terminal cancer patients have at least one root canaled tooth. First, it is unclear what scientific study this number actually originated from. Secondly, even if there is a correlation, there is no causation between root canals and cancer. It would be equally (in)valid to say that cancer causes root canals- a truly absurd notion. Finally, this statistic is almost certainly false. A 2013 study by the Journal of the American Medical Association found that patients with root canals actually had a 45% lower cancer risk (again, this describes correlation and not necessarily causation).
Overall, we can see that the majority of the anti-root canal argument relies on 90 year old disproven research, conjecture and anecdotal evidence. In contrast, peer-reviewed scientific research on endodontic treatment has continuously demonstrated that root canal therapy is safe, effective and highly successful. If you have further questions on root canals and why they are great treatment options, please give our office a call. We are always excited to keep our patients informed and knowledgeable on the best practices in dentistry!

Everyone has a different way to rekindle memories and feelings of the places they've visited. Some take photos. Others collect pebbles or seashells. Starting soon, people will have another way to remember different cities of the world -- this time through a line of fragrances for men and women named Scents of Departure.
The Scents of Departure line offers cities like Munich, Paris, Miami -- and 14 others -- in fragrance form. The city-themed scents are expressed through their respective airport codes, such as Dubai (DXB) or London (LHR), and packaged in bottles that resemble checked baggage tags. Each 50 milliliter bottle, a TSA safe 1.7 ounces, are collectible and offer the "essence of a city in a bottle," according to Scents of Departure.
"The smells represent feelings and ideas about the city not a literal translation of the city," said Gaby Perez, a spokeswoman for Scents of Departure team. "For example, for New York, creator Gerald [Ghislain] wants a perfume that would recreate a walk in Central Park, and since he loves to play with words and scents he added a hint of green apple in honor of, of course, the Big Apple. But then for Los Angeles the interpretation became more abstract. They wanted to play with Hollywood symbols, so Los Angeles is a perfume that is both luxurious and pretentious, like a little burst of glory and seduction."
Gishlain launched Scents of Departure along with Magali Senequier of French line Histoires de Parfums, as a joint effort. The 14 city fragrances are currently available at some duty free shops in international airports and a few beyond-the-airport-boutiques.

Ever looked back through your class notes, only to discover what looks like a jumbled cave drawing meant to be interpreted by skilled archaeologists?
Well, we certainly have. When class is in full swing and your professor is sharing loads of information, it can be hard to jot things down in an organized manner. Luckily, we've come across a handy little solution for taking the best notes ever!
Back in the 1950's at Cornell University, a brilliant education professor named Walter Pauk devised an innovative note taking technique. Introducing, Cornell Notes, a note taking method that focuses on writing down only the most important information for any given class and organizing it in the most readable way.
The way it works:
Divide each page of your notebook into two columns. Take general notes on the right side and then call out any main ideas or keywords on the left side. For the general notes, all you want to take down are key words and ideas, dates, people, places, repeated and stressed info, important things written on the board/projector, main info and ideas from textbook/readings for class, diagrams/pictures, and of course any formulas. During class you should only focus on writing down all these pieces of important information, so when class is wrapping up, you can look back at your notes and summarize them in your own words.
When you hand write your note summaries, you're more likely to be successful on exam day compared to students who take down notes exactly the way the professor wrote them on the board or on presentation slides. It's far easier to recall how you wrote down the notes rather than how a professor worded them. By summarizing your notes and marking your notes up with general ideas on the left hand side of the page, you can easily flip through your notebook and know exactly where you are, what chapter these notes pertain to, and what questions these notes answer.
Now that you have your notebooks in order and have fully understood the Cornell Note taking method, you will be more than prepared to face any academic challenges for the coming semester!

ah, interesting! I'll try this method out -thanks!
Great ideas and I'll give it a try instead of just writing, typing and taking pictures of important information whereas at the end, nothing will make sense to me if not organized. Thanks again.
I'll have to try this. My teacher told me something similar about this

Meet The Mums - Stefanie Daniels
My name is Stefanie Daniels
I'm 33 years old and live in Hertfordshire and am currently on maternity leave from my job as an Advertising Manager at a publishing company. My first son Jonny was born in May. Even though my world has been turned upside down by having a baby, I am loving every minute of it. I love spending each day getting to know my son a little bit more.
Stef reviews the Laugh & Learn Peek-a-Boo Toaster
Age at time of testing: 10 months
The Peek-a-Boo Toaster (around £13) is a cute toy that has a pop-up action and light to keep Johnny entertained.
He can press down on the toast to hear learning songs about numbers, letters and shapes, and then see it pop back up.
Plus, the slider has different number settings to help him learn how to count. Johnny has a limited attention span and doesn't play with this for too long, but it's so cute and educational that I'd definitely recommend it to friends.
Stef reviews the Fisher-Price Feeding Range
3 in 1 Spout Sippy Cup – RRP £4.50
Heat Sensitive Bowls – RRP £9.99 for a 3 pack
Learn to Scoop Spoons - £4.99 for a 4 pack
Reviewing at 9 months
We are big fans of this colourful and bright Fisher-Price feeding range! The Heat Sensitive Bowls are definitely my favourite item as they make mealtimes much easier.
It is so helpful to know straight away when the food is ready for Johnny to eat. The 3 in 1 Spout Sippy Cup is great value with three modes that can change with Johnny as he grows.
The leak proof valve prevents spills and is great for on-the-go, while the removable handles are perfect for Johnny's little hands.
The Learn To Scoop spoons have been great to help teach Johnny to feed himself and the soft ridges are gentle on gums but keep soft foods from flying off.
The whole range is dishwasher safe, and easy to store and I have already recommended it to all my friends.
Stef reviews the Laugh & Learn Night Time Pal
age at time of testing: 8 months
The Laugh and Learn Night Time Pal (around £20) has become an essential part of Johnny's bedtime routine.
He starts his evening wind down after his bath and milk, and the soothing lullaby that lasts for 10 minutes is a big help with this.
This product also plays songs and makes noises to encourage your baby to feel sleepy, while the heart lights up to emit a soft, soothing glow.
There are two volume levels to choose from, which is useful for us as Johnny's cot is within earshot.
The added bonus? The battery pack is easily removed so you can put it in the washing machine. We all love it.
Stef reviews the Rainforest Melodies and Lights Deluxe Gym
Age at time of testing: five months
Easy to assemble, store and keep clean, the Rainforest Melodies and Lights Deluxe Gym (around £64) is one of Johnny's favourite toys and we use it every day.
The gym has three types of music – the calming sounds of the rainforest and two songs. One song sets off lights so you can create a mini baby disco.
It's lovely to watch the wonder on Johnny's face whenever I play the music or he sees the lights.
What I love most about this gym is that it really does grow with your baby. At first Johnny used to lie on the mat just staring at all the animals and listening to the sounds, and now he reaches out and grabs the animals as well as having long baby 'conversations' with them.
I have a feeling this gym will be in the family for a long time.
Stef reviews the Rainforest Musical Mobile
Age at time of testing: five months
This has become our pre-naptime baby essential. The Rainforest Musical Mobile (around £50) features monkeys, birds and leaves that appear to float up and down as the mobile turns.
Johnny loves staring at the flashing lights and hanging toys, while the remote is a great addition for me as I can turn it off without going into his room and disturbing him.
I also feel like I'm doing my bit to help turn my son into a musical genius too, as the mobile moves to the sounds of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven – or the calming rainforest!
Lots of friends have commented on how much they like this mobile, so I'd definitely recommend it.
Stef reviews the Discover 'n Grow Bouncer
Age at time of testing: four months
The Fisher-Price Discover 'n Grow Bouncer (around £50) was easy to assemble and only took 10 minutes to put up. It feels very safe and holds Johnny well, even though he's quite a sturdy baby!
The chair doesn't fold down so can't really be stored out of the way. However, it's light enough to easily move into other rooms. At the moment, Johnny doesn't seem to notice the vibrations and prefers to play when he's in the rocker. He loves the teething rings (which are on one of the arms), and he constantly grabs them, trying to get them into his mouth.
He's recently discovered that, when he pulls the other toy, it plays a tune. As part of the toy bar, there's also a Monkey and Giraffe that Johnny can reach up for.
Unfortunately, Johnny has now reached the maximum weight recommended for this bouncer so he won't have much more time to explore it. But I'll definitely be storing the chair away for a second baby and would have no hesitation in recommending it to other mums.

Did you know? …
There's a tool for oil & gas field logistic planners that has a one day ROI ? I know you are wondering … So is this a typical exaggeration? … well not according to one Project Manager who got thrown a large remote project at the last minute, without local knowledge, including how to get there. We loaded him for bear and off he went.
He called a couple days later, in a small lull in his still chaotic life to let us know that he saved the cost of the PC software before noon the first day! … so I stretched it to a full day … sue me !
All he had to do is save a couple hours of picker time to pay for it … no wonder it only took a few hours to pay for itself ! … So what is this magical tool? … well, that was some time ago when it was called PatchMap PC … the equivalent to the present day PatchMap-Web … an industry leader for both navigation and logistical planning … even being able to check on service company's MOB charges!
PatchMap is THE GPS Navigation system built for safe and efficient navigation anywhere in the Canadian oil & gas regions of Canada. It has over 100,000 kms of roads no other navigation tool has.
Small cost … big savings.
First you have to get there … Use PatchMap or GET LOST !
*** PatchMap-Web is a constantly updated web connected logistic map system … the cost is less than one front tire for a picker truck. Maybe it's time to clue your project managers in !

This shade sail design is ideal for a variety of applications including:
- Performance Areas
- Outdoor Classrooms
- Play Areas
- Plaza Areas
- Restaurants and Outdoor Eating Areas
Uprights on the Maxima Sail are manufactured to suit application in either straight or curved-form. All steelwork on this shade sail available in Dura-coat™ finish to any RAL colour
Uprights can be root fixed, base plate fixed onto preformed bases or installed into precast sockets. Normally the fabric for the shade sail would be measured and manufactured after upright installation. Please speak to our technical department for more information
Shade Cloth - High quality knitted shade cloth specifically developed as a strong and stable outdoor fabric for use in tension structures offering a combination of strength, durability and value and offering 90-98 % UV protection. Available in 14 colours.
PVC Fabric - High strength waterproof fabric offering increased lifespan available in 40 colours.
Many configurations available including hypar squares, multiple squares, triangles etc ...
Whilst a popular design A & S Landscape do not actually recommend triangular shaped sails. Any true tension membrane structure has a minimum of 4 attachment points with sufficient height difference, this allows 3 dimensional shape in the fabric thus obtaining even tension (pre stress) over the surface of the fabric. No matter how high or low each attachment point the triangular fabric surface is still in a flat 2D shape. You need the forth attachment point and height difference to generate a 3D shape. Flat structures over time stretch with gravity load and sag between the catenary wires resulting in the fabric flapping in the wind increasing the corner attachment loads. Waterproof PVC structures can then pond with rainwater which is why we do not price these. The amount of shaded area produced by triangular structures is also poor because of the narrow angles at the corners produced when the catenary cable edge curvature is installed.
Please also note that due to the tensioning mechanisms and the curvature of the sail the actual area of coverage will be significantly less than the area between the uprights.
Unlimited design possibilities with multiple sails and posts/wall fixings, Single sails over 8000mm x 8000mm will not normally be suitable for year round use.
Steelwork is galvanised only or finished in Dura-coatTM colour finish to any RAL colour. Shade cloth material is available in 14 colours, PVC fabric available in 40 colours. Post pads can be any colour, often contrasting with the structure.
A&S Landscape recommend early consultation to consider all aspects of the proposed installation,we provide free quotations and technical information at design stage with drawing files of all details which can be easily incorporated into architects' drawings. Full site surveys, CAD drawings and project management are all part of our standard service. Early technical involvement can generally provide a better solution.
Our ability to extensively customise our products ensures that we can meet any special requirements that you may have. Our flexible modular system often allows this to be done very economically whilst retaining the performance characteristics of our system.
To supply and install to manufacturer's recommendations: Maxima Sail to overall size ---- mm X ---- mm (or as per plan no-------) to include for shadecloth/waterproof fabric, Dura-coat™ finish steel frame to RAL- ----- as manufactured by A&S Landscape, March Way, Battlefield Enterprise Park, Shrewsbury, SY1 3JE T:01743 444100 E:firstname.lastname@example.com
The Sail from Maxima is an economical and eye catching Shade Sail design to enhance any area and available in an unlimited number of shapes, configurations and colours.

Create a better world
Benevolent capitalism offers new perspectives and the inspiration to reach outside of ourselves to create different possibilities. Benevolent capitalism is not an exclusive club. It is open to all.
Benevolent capitalism is not the sole responsibility of businesses and major corporations. For as large as the impact and the biggest contribution may be, they are just the beginning. Each and every one of us has to gain more awareness of the different possibilities we can create in the world. When we all work towards the target to create a better world and a sustainable future on this planet, we can achieve far more than what large corporations can achieve.
Benevolent capitalism is not just for people who are operating businesses or leading a corporation. Many people think that benevolent capitalism doesn't apply to them because they don't have a business. This is such a misidentification and misapplication of the notion of benevolent capitalism. I will never forget the moment when we invited our friend to participate in the Google hangout we conducted with Gary Douglas and he said, "Oh, that doesn't apply to me, I don't have a business." and I said, "Yes you do since you are the one that brings home the money, that means you are in business. Your life is your business! "
Benevolent capitalism applies to all of us. There are countless ways we can apply the benevolent capitalism maxims in the way we live our life. We can begin by becoming aware of how we function with the things around us and become aware of a different possibility. We can begin to look at what's going to create more, not what's going to create less, we can start looking for the kindest way, the least damaging way to create more possibilities... just to name a few. All of our contributions are valuable - the way we live our life, the way we run our business, the way we raise our children, the way we relate to people and environment. All these can truly create different possibilities for the world.
"Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives - choice, not chance, determines your destiny." - Aristotle
A better world starts with you & me!.... Learn more about Benevolent Capitalism and become a catalyst for change and for a different possibility in the world HERE

The frigid weather we are having in the Northeast cries out for the comfort of hot soup. This minestrone soup is my go-to soup recipe, and my family's favorite. I try to change it up often by introducing a new soup, but this one remains my family's top choice. It is hearty enough to stand on its own with some crusty bread, and fabulous when paired with the sandwich or panini of your choice. It's also a great way to used your homemade chicken stock.
Let's make it now.
|Minestrone Soup Ingredients
Minestrone Soup
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
- 1 medium all purpose potato, peeled and cut into ½ -inch cubes
- 1 medium yellow or green squash (or both), cut into ½-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon dried basil, crumbled
- 1 tsp dried oregano, crumbled
- 2 large bay leaves
- 1-28oz can crushed tomatoes
- 6 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- ¼ pound green beans, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces (frozen is fine)
- 4 oz tiny shells or tubettini
- 1- can Great Northern white beans, drained and rinsed
- Grated Parmesan cheese to taste
- 3 Tablespoons parsley, chopped
In a Dutch oven or large pot, heat the olive oil over low heat for 1 minute. Add the onions and cook uncovered, for 5 minutes or until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Raise the heat to moderate and add the potato, squash, basil, oregano, and bay leaves. Cook, uncovered for 5 more minute. Stir occasionally.
|Saute the Vegetables Before Adding Liquids
Add the tomatoes and stock and bring to a boil. Adjust the heat to a simmer and cook uncovered for 20 minutes longer. Add the green beans, cover and cook until the beans are tender, but still crisp-about 10 minutes. Remove the bay leaves.
|Simmer the Soup Until Vegetables are Tender
Add the pasta and cook until tender. Add additional water, if necessary. Add the white beans, and cook for 3-5 minutes until heated through. Ladle into soup bowls and garnish with Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Serve with crusty bread.

A group of international researchers have used AI to predict the complex chemical interactions of the molecule malonaldehyde. They did this by training an algorithm using a small sample set of the behaviours of the molecule.
So what?
This is another example of how machine learning can complete a wide range of tasks when the system is given enough data. Predicting the chemical behaviour of malonaldehyde usually requires several complex quantum mechanical calculations so this breakthrough is a big step into making this process more efficient.
There are potential applications of this in the development of pharmaceuticals and in helping to improve the performance of batteries, solar cells and digital displays.

Do You Have The January Blues?/
Many people experience highs and lows throughout the year. For many, January is a tough month; following a time of celebration, a break from day to day life and the building frenzy around Christmas, January can feel flat. The usual things apply; the weather can be miserable; the mornings are dark and bank accounts can be decidedly empty. The 3rd Monday of the month is deemed the most miserable day of the year according to the media. Any New Year's resolutions might be either starting to fail or becoming a weary struggle. We're back into the routine and starting to feel tired again. For most people who feel this way, this feeling can be temporary and mild. However, for some who may be feeling more vulnerable anyway, perhaps those who were already struggling with low mood or anxiety, this time of year can compound difficulties significantly. So how can we manage this?Read More

Another Handshake Seen Around The World
adminApril 19,2009
The officer could not resist reaching out--even if it meant losing his job.
[Another Handshake Moment]
These officers are not supposed to move even if a bird pooped on their face; they are certainly not supposed to reach out and shake hands with visiting foreign dignitaries.
But when president Obama recently visited London for the G20 Conference, this officer could not resist; even if it meant that he could lose his job. The two brothers couldn't resist the historic moment. So there you have it.

I can still choose to find the happiness. Love instead of fear. I can choose!
I've been thinking…what would happen if every day for 100 days I just focused on the amazing gift of life, the simple moments, and little things…instead of what's wrong, the struggles, the daily nuisances?
It doesn't mean I'll feel perfect all of the time; it just means every day for 100 days I am going to find SOMETHING to celebrate!
Then on the 100th day I am going to have a party to... and I celebrate the gratitude!
If you want a practice of gratitude, joyful enthusiasm, love, friendship, and fun, feel free to join in here!! : )
The more positive vibes we share, the more positive we become ourselves.

So Blessed By 2013
This 2013 has been an amazing year! I was busier than ever--with new clients and several past clients returning with new family milestones. I photographed beautiful seniors and families, attended a fantastic photography workshop in Park City, UT, I worked to heal knee and neck sprains…and a broken heart as I learned my step-mom passed away. My work has been nationally recognized and used in locally in a magazine, I welcomed a new puppy to the family, and my girl started her senior year!
I feel this was a blossoming year for me as an artist. I found my style, my groove. I am always creating and asking how God wants to use me. Where, when, and what. The "how"
is always a surprise. In the past 2 months, I've taught both art and photography classes to young people. It was a dream, but yet it surprised me. What a beautiful surprise it was!

I grew as a business owner in 2013, and learned a lot of valuable business owner lessons! I changed my business model--and continue to see a difference! I've created very special relationships with my clients, and continued to grow with past clients that have believed in me since day one. And now the kids are coming to me to schedule their own portraits!
I work hard and play hard. I love my life's work artist and teacher with my daughter following in my footsteps. She is my inspiration and it's so wonderful to work together on sessions when we can. My husband, my best friend and supporter, has been my biggest cheerleader. It's his unwavering love and deep commitment to my bliss!
I am blessed by being able to create meaningful art for cool people. I am so supported and inspired by my friends, family, our community, fans, and band family. Words cannot express how continually grateful I am for everyone and everything. Thank you for blessing my life. I cannot wait to see what 2014 brings!
Love, Dawn

Maryville-based private occupational school Peak Technical Institute is pleased to announce the roll out of its newest hospitality and professional service courses Housekeeping Training and Food & Beverage Service starting in early 2017, preparing individuals for an exciting, rewarding career in a robust industry.
"Individuals can come here and change their careers and lives in just a matter of weeks in our hospitality programs," Peak Technical Institute President and CEO Dr. Eric W. Barton said. "Imagine the impact we can make in Knoxville, Tennessee and the nation."
Peak's Housekeeping Training Program hones roles and responsibilities of a housekeeper/room attendant, reflecting high standards of work, customer service, personal hygiene/attributes, cleaning methods, rooms, housekeeping services, laundry, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and many more relevant topics. The Food & Beverage Service program prepares students in food and beverage service, hygienic food and beverage, resume writing 101, customer service and basic knowledge on understanding risks and preventative measures at work.
Both the Housekeeping and Food & Beverage Service programs are approved through the Tennessee Higher Education Commission.
Program Director and Instructor Jason King said the two newest hospitality courses under the Peak brand are "revolutionary" for the region's industry.
"These types of trainings are new and revolutionary for the hospitality industry, offering students a well-rounded education for whenever they start their new careers," King said. "Students in our Food & Beverage, housekeeping or hospitality programs will graduate better prepared for the industry and will be one step ahead of their competition, increasing their potential for future success in this robust industry."
Peak will be collaborating with the Greater Knoxville Hospitality Association and area Chambers of Commerce in an effort to place graduating students in successful, rewarding job opportunities.
GKHA, a nonprofit membership organization for hotels/lodging, restaurants, venues, attractions, services and suppliers of hospitality and tourism sectors, encompasses more than 9,000 lodging and hotel rooms within the Knoxville region of Knox, Anderson, Blount, Roane and Loudon counties.
"The hospitality industry is the No. 2 industry in the state of Tennessee," GKHA Executive Director Jill Thompson said. "With 225 hotels in just the Knoxville area alone, this new program will not only be pivotal for individuals looking for a new career with vast opportunities but will also be beneficial for our local economies."
