Catalan-Style Spinach
Spanish-born Chef José Andrés created this spinach dish, adding diced apple, raisins and pine nuts in the style of Catalonia. It's the perfect accompaniment to his Roast Pork with Dried Fruit and Catalan-Style Spinach.
- 3 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 Golden Delicious apple, peeled, cored and cut into 1/4-inch dice
- 1/4 cup dark raisins
- 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
- 2 lb. baby spinach
- Kosher salt, to taste
In a 4-quart legumier or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, warm 1 Tbs. of the olive oil. Add one-third of the apple pieces and cook, stirring, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add one-third of the raisins and pine nuts and stir to combine. Add one-third of the spinach and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Repeat 2 more times with the remaining ingredients.
Return all of the spinach mixture to the pot, stir to incorporate and season with salt. Serve immediately. Serves 4 to 6.

An X-ray telescope featuring multi-foil optics from Rigaku Innovative Technologies Europe s.r.o. (RITE) was successfully launched into orbit and is capable of testing technologies for monitoring a wide range of astrophysical and terrestrial phenomena.
June 30, 2017 – Auburn Hills, Michigan. Rigaku Innovative Technologies Europe (RITE) is pleased to announce that an X-ray telescope featuring Rigaku X-ray multi-foil optics was launched into Earth's orbit on Friday, June 23rd, 2017, using India's Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C38). The vehicle was launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Center (SDSC) on Sriharikota, a barrier island in the Bay of Bengal, and carried 30 co-passenger satellites, comprised of 29 nanosatellites from 14 countries.
The X-ray multi-foil optics, combined with an Advacam detector in a 1D X-ray telescope, are onboard a Czech nanosatellite VZLUSAT-1 with polar orbit. The newly deployed telescope features a wide-field optical system based on multi-foil optics for X-ray energies from 3 keV up to 30 keV.
The optics, developed by Rigaku Innovative Technologies Europe s.r.o. (RITE), a Czech subsidiary of Rigaku Corporation, facilitate measurement of higher spectrum energies together with optical-electronic data compression. The payload presents a demonstration of the novel use of a miniaturized X-ray telescope in-orbit, and is the first use of Rigaku X-ray optics in space.
The technologies of RITE are developed to advance the field of X-ray optics. RITE has specialized capabilities in ray-tracing, designing, manufacturing and testing of multi-foil optics (MFO). The MFO are comprised of an X-ray and Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) optics, which typically consist of two perpendicular sets of very thin reflecting mirrors, where photons are reflected at grazing angles, enabling various arrangements and geometries. RITE manufactures 1D and/or 2D MFO optics and offers custom designs that can be rapidly developed and manufactured.

After mass, much to the bishop's chagrin, Fr. Ferro found himself in a very direct conversation with Catie Jo. He was charmed by her energy and enthusiasm, but later on he realized she had also been very savvy and astute in the way she set the agenda for his "meeting" with her.
"I know we'll want to talk," she said, "but I think you have to talk it over with—"
"Your parents," Fr. Ferro said.
"Well, yes, I guess them too, but I meant my spiritual person, Fr. Hugh."
"Spiritual person?"
"You know what I mean," she said., "the priest I discuss prayer and stuff with."
He hadn't known that she had a spiritual director and was also surprised by whom it was..
"You two know each other, don't you?" she asked.
"Actually, we were in the seminary together and–."
"–you used to be friends until he went through his "big bang."
"His what?"
"His explosion, like you're going through now, inside," she said. "But don't worry. He's OK now."
"And what about me?" he found himself asking.
"You'll get there. There's a few things I want to show you."
Fr. Ferro found himself following her on a tour of the Cathedral windows. She explained to him that the windows were like a great cartoon. If you went from one colorful picture to another, you'd got chapters of the story of God and the Church from Adam and Eve, up to when the Cathedral was built. She showed him the first window of the story that began in the Garden of Eden. The Immaculate Conception hovered above Adam and Eve as they were being directed out of Garden of Eden by a white-bearded God the Father.
"I think that means that God was thinking about her and how she was going to help God make it all right," she conjectured.
She walked Fr. Ferro up the north side of the Cathedral and into the north transept pointing out how busy God the Father was in all the Old Testament windows. She told him to notice that God the Father was shown in different poses trying to get people to listen.
"He reminds me of my parents trying to catch my brothers' attention. He certainly looks like a hard-working guy. Of course, he isn't a guy. It's funny how people worry about that, when you have to figure God is just God. I think it used to make people feel better if they saw God the Father as Mr. Man-in-Charge."
Fr. Ferro laughed at this. This laugh was noticed by the bishop, who now was pacing uncomfortably in the sacristy occasionally looking out to see what was happening. The bishop started to gasp for air and he wanted to sit down, but he couldn't move as he watched Catie Jo lead Fr. Ferro to the center of the Church in front of the steps to the altar. The bishop wanted desperately to hear what she was saying.
"Now this is the important part, at least for right now," she told Fr. Ferro with conviction. See these two big windows."
She pointed to the window above the entrance to the north transept.
"That one is St. Helena finding the cross. My uncle who's a Lutheran thinks that is the funniest thing he's ever seen."
She then turned to the window above the door to the south transept.
"That window shows her son getting a vision from Jesus that helped her son become the emperor. Some of the stuff that her son did next is what St. Helena is concerned about. She likes to think of it as her problem and I guess it's ours too."
Fr. Ferro had to ask her what she meant.
"I'm not sure," she said. "My friends are always talking about this and when they start saying things in Latin and Greek I start getting sleepy. I just know that St. Helena finally wants to get rid of the junk her son left behind him. Since she loves him she says she has to tell him the truth. Everyone says he did a lot of good things, but even he agrees with his mother that the time has come for a big clean up. That's when I get really tired, because although the clean up has already started, a lot of the cleaning has got to be done by you and me."
Before Fr. Ferro could respond, she pulled him to the back of the Cathedral. She pointed to the last window on the south clearstory.
"Don't worry. See how the story ends. It ends with children and with Jesus in their hearts."
Fr. Ferro was startled to see that the final window in the series showed Pope Pius X giving the Eucharist to children dressed for First Communion. The boys were well-dressed and the girls wore white dresses. He had forgotten how recent it actually was since children had been able to receive communion regularly. He had just been walked through the journey of salvation history starting with the Fall of Adam and Eve and somehow it had ended up with the beauty and innocence of these children. Once again he wanted to ponder what he was experiencing, but Catie Jo didn't give him time. She told him to look down at the window below the one with the children.
"This is my favorite window," she said.
It was the window of the Pentecost with a beautiful picture of Mary surrounded by the apostles as the flames of the Holy Spirit descended on them.
"This window has something to do with why the bishop got so mad at me. I don't think he wants to admit it, but he knows the Holy Spirit probably wouldn't have shown up if Mary hadn't been there."
At this moment Fr. Ferro looked up the side aisle to see the bishop standing near the sacristy door shifting his weight from one leg to another.

Hello Design-Crisis fans! My name is Ceci and I am a friend of Karly's Mama in Virginia. I've never written or guested for anyone's blog before but I love Karly & Erin and Design Crisis...and Door Sixteen...and If the Lampshade Fits...and Petunia Face...I read them every day. HUGE fan! I have gotten lots of design inspiration and have painted quite a few things gold. (wink) So, I'm very excited to be here today! I also want a lot and can't afford much, like what I'm about to show you...
My favorite store in the world, NO! in the UNIVERSE …
is ABC Carpet & Home in Manhattan. Its 4 hours from VA and totally worth the drive to spend a few hours on every floor in this place. Or stay home and spend a few hours online at abchome . There's even a button for a wish list! I do this quite often when I'm bored at work… (sorry boss). That's where I found this gorgeous sofa!
I LOVE COVET this Kilim Landscape Sofa!
'll take 2 of these dreamy Kilim Landscape Ottoman's!! Everything will look great with my 6 foot coffee table. A nice little Ottoman living room & sometimes casual dinner party room. Let's just pretend that it doesn't cost $3 zillion. Sometimes we want what we can't have. That's what the 'wish list' button is for. Right? One more thing….
Remember the Yurt Family Higman-McKittrick?
They live in a yurt in the Alaskan wilderness 90 miles from civilization? And cook their meals on their one & only modern cooking appliance?
Well, there is a resort in Big Sur, CA called Treebones Resort where you can stay in a LUXURY yurt with Ocean View or Partial Ocean View. Take a look.
nice view!
Nice and clean! (Although if it were mine I could totally see my Kilim Landscape Sofa & Ottomans in there, a couple beautiful Moroccan lanterns…absolutely NOT a rope rug) There are no facilities in the yurt, but there are just a few feet away. I can stay here! And with a Cordon Bleu Chef…Chris…who just happens to be 6' 5", cookin' dinner in the resort's restaurant? Home Sweet Yurt! Learn more about Treebones Resort here. Looks like fun!
Thank you Erin & Karly for taking the day off & letting me post my wandering thoughts on your FABULOUS blog! And thank you for writing a fabulous blog that we all can read everyday! YOU ROCK!!

|Field evaluation of paralympic athletes in selected sports: implications for training.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 19997027 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was 1) to describe the acute cardiorespiratory and metabolic responses of Paralympic athletes participating in the following five sports: Nordic sit skiing (NS, n = 5), wheelchair distance racing (WR, n = 6), wheelchair basketball (WB, n = 13), wheelchair fencing (WF, n = 6), and wheelchair tennis (WT, n = 4); and 2) to examine the relationship between field test performance and laboratory measures of aerobic fitness of these Paralympic athletes. METHODS: Each athlete completed an incremental arm cranking exercise test to determine ventilatory threshold (VT) and peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak). Subsequently, field assessments were carried out using a telemetric system to measure the cardiorespiratory responses in their respective sport. RESULTS: VT and VO2peak (both expressed in milliliters per kilogram per minute) of athletes competing in NS (38.3 +/- 5.76 and 51.0 +/- 6.92 mL x kg(-1) x min(-1)) and WR (35.5 +/- 5.96 and 48.1 +/- 6.35 mL x kg(-1) x min(-1)) were significantly higher (P < 0.05) than those competing in WB (26.0 +/- 2.13 and 36.9 +/- 3.70 mL x kg(-1) x min(-1)), WF (23.2 +/- 3.96 and 34.4 +/- 5.81 mL x kg(-1) x min(-1)), and WT (24.0 +/- 2.30 and 33.1 +/- 2.85 mL x kg(-1) x min(-1)). In the field tests, the average V O2, higher in NS and WR than in WB, WF, and WT, during NS, WR, WB, WF, and WT was 79.4% +/- 3.30%, 84.4% +/- 2.10%, 72.1% +/- 5.72%, 73.0% +/- 3.10%, and 73.0% +/- 1.91%, respectively, of VO2peak. There was a strong linear relationship between VO2 measured during the field tests and VT and VO2peak (R2 = 0.92 in each case). CONCLUSIONS: Athletes regulated their average work intensity during the field tests in the five Paralympic sports to approximate their individualized VT measured during incremental arm cranking exercise test, and this intensity was within the range recommended by the American College of Sports Medicine to improve cardiorespiratory fitness in well-trained subjects. In addition, performance of Paralympic athletes in these sports was highly dependent upon athletes' aerobic fitness.

I hope you are all having a great week 🙂
Simon Says Stamp latest release Making Spirits Bright is now live just click the banner below to see the whole release.
This release is a nice mix of Halloween & Christmas with some great fun products, especially dies.
Simon's Picture Book Dies seem to be so popular and have so many uses. I got a few from the release but today will be sharing with you a fun project that I used the Snowman Picture Book Die for.
I used felt to create some Christmas Tree decorations. These were lots of fun to make and would be a great project for children.
I die cut all the pieces from felt and then applied suitable adhesive to some thick card and adhered the felt pieces to that on both sides.
Once I was happy I trimmed the excess card and used a crop a dil to punch a hole for the string to hang.
I used natural twine to hang but you could use ribbon or twine to match the colours.
I really did enjoy making these and will make a couple more for the tree 🙂
Of course with these dies you can use them on cards also, I just wanted to show an alternative way to use them.
Make sure you check back on Saturday where I will be sharing some other projects using items from the new release and announcing the winners of the STAMPtember giveaway.
Have a great day and happy crafting

Capitalizing Your CompanyCapitalizing a company doesn't just happen in the beginning. Every company, new ones and operating ones, must deal with capitalizing issues. Especially the successful ones, because success begets growth, and growth requires capital. If your company needs capital, as the owner, you are the one who has to get it.
Webster: capital, n, any asset, tangible or intangible, that is held for long term investment. Capital, blended with cashflow, is the financial fuel your company's engine uses to, among other things:
• Buy equipment, vehicles, R&D, etc.;
• Fund growth by purchasing inventory, hiring employees, financing receivables, etc.;
• Provide reserves for those inevitable rainy days.
Three Kinds Of Capital
1. Investment Capital
This capital comes from you or someone else. It's like buying stock in the stock market except for one thing: When you make an investment in a small, closely held corporation, there is no market for your shares. Therefore, you typically won't get your invested capital out until you sell or otherwise dissolve the company. Consequently, most small businesses will have a nominal amount of shareholder capital - typically from $1,000 to $10,000 - and this investment will usually be made only at the point of incorporation.
2. Retained Earnings
This is the profits your company has made, and which you have left to accumulate in the company; which is to say, the profits you didn't take out as salary, bonus, dividend, or other distribution. Of all the forms of capital your company could have, this is the best kind, because you got it the old fashioned way, your company earned it.
Your banker will like seeing retained earnings on your balance sheet even more than equity capital because it says two things:
a) your company had the ability to produce retained earnings by operating profitably;
b) as the owner, you had the discipline to leave this capital in the company instead of distributing it.
3. Borrowed Funds
This is plain old debt; money you borrow from a bank or an individual. Debt can be an excellent way to capitalize your company. But there is one annoying little detail about borrowed money: Unlike investment capital or retained earnings, debt accrues interest, and requires debt service - payments - which creates an incremental drain on your company's liquidity.
Your business has to be able to generate the cashflow to make these payments. If it can't, you shouldn't be asking for the loan. You should know if you can service the debt before you get to the bank with your request. But if you don't, your banker will.
One of the individuals your company could borrow from is you. Instead of investing your money in your business as investment capital, you could lend it to your company. Unlike equity capital, which stays with the stock and only pays a return if you declare dividends (a rare event in small business), a loan from you to your company produces a return through interest payments, which are made by your company.
You could loan money to your company as a personal income strategy. If your company needs money and you have it, why let a bank make the interest? Plus, since you are essentially the bank, the approval process is very short. Talk to your CPA about this.
The Retained Earnings Sermon
In my opinion, the way to wealth and independence for the average person in America who wasn't born with it, is through the accumulation of equity, not the earning of personal income.
If you are an employee of someone else's company, all of your compensation from your efforts comes in the form of personal, earned income, and it is reported on your W-2 form. Yes, many companies do offer stock options. And while this practice seems to be increasing, employees who have this opportunity are still in the minority nationwide.
As a business owner you will receive a W-2 for the salary and bonus you take. But all of your financial benefit doesn't have to be earned income. You have the opportunity to leave some of the company's earnings in the company in the form of retained earnings, which becomes equity. Your equity. Some of this equity will be in the form of cash, but most of it will be in inventory, equipment, fixtures, vehicles, real estate, good will through market penetration and brand development, etc.
As long as you are in business, every dollar of retained earnings capital is making you money. Retained earnings is:
• the working capital that you don't have to borrow from the bank, or dilute your ownership with by taking in other investors' capital.
• your safety net during the inevitable period(s) of slow sales or other problems that can befall a small business,
• your financial homerun when you sell your business.
Involvement Or Commitment
Another reason to maximize retained earnings in your company is that bankers like to see a nice number on the balance sheet of a company they are considering for a loan. A history of retained earnings in a company says commitment, and bankers like their borrowers to be committed in their business, not just involved. Do you know the difference between involvement and commitment?
When you look at a plate of bacon and eggs, you can see that the chicken was involved in your breakfast, while the pig made more of a commitment. Bankers like it when you are committed.
The Smart Money
If you want to demonstrate that you practice sound management fundamentals, leave every nickel you can in your business. Think of it as paying your business first. By taking care of your business now, it will take care of you later.
So, if retained earnings are so great, why would anyone ever invest money or borrow to capitalize a company? Unfortunately for most businesses, accumulating working capital through retained earnings is a slow process. In today's marketplace, most businesses need working capital to fund growth faster than their profits will generate as retained earnings.
I think the best plan is to incorporate all three methods of capitalization. It's really very simple: Leave every cent of earnings that you can in your company, and invest and/or borrow the balance of what you need to grow your business.
If you want to own your company outright one day, which is to say no debt, you will have to begin a disciplined, long-term process of accumulating retained earnings. By amortizing your debt, you will be replacing debt capital with retained earnings capital. As I said earlier, talk with your CPA about the best combination of capital options for you.
Write this on a rock... Understanding the benefits of accumulating retained earnings is one of the most critical perspectives a small business owner can acquire. Don't get discouraged. It is a long term process, but it's worth it.

Among more than 14,000 patients involved in three large randomized trials, only 12 fractures of the subtrochanteric or diaphyseal femur were recorded, Dennis Black, PhD, of the University of California San Francisco, and colleagues reported online in the New England Journal of Medicine.
The investigators looked at data from the Fracture Intervention Trial (FIT) and its five-year extension, which compared alendronate (Fosamax) to placebo, and the HORIZON Pivotal Fracture Trial, which tested zoledronic acid (Reclast).
They reported the following relative risks for subtrochanteric or diaphyseal fractures associated with the specific bisphosphonate-based therapies evaluated in the trials:
- Alendronate in FIT: RR 1.03 (95% CI 0.06 to 16.46)
- Alendronate in the FIT Long-Term Extension: RR 1.33 (95% CI 0.12 to 14.67)
- Zoledronic acid in HORIZON: RR 1.50 (95% CI 0.25 to 9.00)
But Black and colleagues did not rule out the possibility of a genuine risk, despite the lack of statistical significance, because the confidence intervals were so wide.
Action Points
- Explain to interested patients that although this study did not find a link, some case reports have suggested that atypical fractures of the femur may be more common in patients treated with bisphosphonates, the most common drugs for treating osteoporosis.
- Explain that the FDA has begun a formal safety inquiry into this potential risk, but it has emphasized that it has not yet found evidence to suggest that physicians or patients should avoid these drugs.
"The study was underpowered for definitive conclusions," they wrote.
In an accompanying editorial, Elizabeth Shane, MD, of Columbia University in New York City, urged physicians with concerns about atypical femoral fractures and bisphosphonates to avoid a "rush to judgment."
She suggested that physicians "re-evaluate" patients taking bisphosphonates for long periods with bone density measurements and risk factors for fracture.
"It is reasonable to consider drug holidays with careful observation for most patients with osteoporosis who are receiving long-term therapy," she wrote, especially those with reduced markers of bone turnover.
But Shane also pointed out that other studies have found that benefits of bisphosphonate therapy continue to accrue past five years.
Black and colleagues re-examined the FIT and HORIZON trials in the wake of case reports suggesting that atypical femoral fractures are more common with bisphosphonate therapy.
The reports have prompted the FDA to begin a formal safety review, although the agency emphasized that the evidence it has seen to date does not demonstrate a genuine risk.
The main FIT study was a one-year placebo controlled study followed by three to 4.5 years of follow-up.
In the extension, participants completing the main trial were offered one year of open-label alendronate followed by a randomized, placebo-controlled extension that lasted up to five years. Overall, patients in this trial received alendronate for up to 10 years.
HORIZON tested three years of annual infusions of zoledronic acid.
In all, the three studies involved 51,287 patient-years of drug exposure.
The three groups of patients -- 6,459 in the main FIT study, 1,099 in its extension, and 7,736 in the Horizon study -- included 283 who suffered hip or femur fractures.
Black and colleagues collected data on the specifics of these fractures. They immediately excluded about half because they involved the femoral neck or subcapital sections of the femur, obviously resulted from other pathologies or high-energy impacts, or were periprosthetic.
For the remainder, x-rays and/or surgical reports were reviewed by a radiologist who determined that only 12, occurring in 10 patients, were "fractures of interest."
The overall rate of atypical fractures was therefore calculated to be 2.3 per 10,000 patient-years of observation, which Black and colleagues called "extremely low."
The lack of apparent association between bisphosphonate use and atypical femoral fractures, even in the long-term FIT extension, suggested that duration of treatment may not be a factor in whatever risk bisphosphonates pose.
But in cautioning about the limits of their data, they noted that "atypical features could not be fully assessed, since radiographs were not generally available."
The small number of events also precluded a definitive conclusion that the rate was not higher in patients treated with bisphosphonates.
In addition, the trials, except for the extension of FIT, were not long-term studies of bisphosphonate use.
Yet, on the other hand, they argued that bisphosphonates definitely do prevent other types of fractures. On the basis of the FIT and HORIZON trials, they calculated that 3,000 patient-years of treatment would prevent 71 vertebral fractures, 11 hip fractures, and 18 other types of fracture.
Black and colleagues also noted that their findings were similar to those of a Danish registry analysis reported last year.
In her editorial, Shane indicated that more research is needed -- not only to assess the true incidence of atypical femoral fractures and the association with bisphosphonates, but also on methods to detect incipient fractures and management of those that occur.
The study was funded by Merck and Novartis.
Study authors reported relationships with Merck, Novartis, Amgen, Roche, AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline, Procter & Gamble, Medtronic, Nastech, Nestle, Fonterra Brands, Ono, Osteologix, Pfizer, Eli Lilly, sanofi-aventis, Tethys, Unilever, Unipath, Inverness, Ortho Clinical Diagnostics, Osi Prosidion, and Takeda. Some authors were employees of Merck and Novartis.
Shane reported research funding from Novartis, Amgen, Eli Lilly, and Merck.

"Where are we losing users during onboarding? And why?"
NOTE: The following case study is a user journey map based on publicly available information and original user research conducted by PhD Insights. Tally is not a client of PhD Insights.
User Journey Mapping
User journey maps or customer journey maps are used to understand the experience of a user as they interact with a company. They highlight the behavior a user engages in, but, most importantly, they illustrate the emotional experience of the user. Journey mapping is useful for identifying painpoints and areas of friction that can be eliminated.
Phd Insights created a user journey map for Tally, a mobile app. Tally is the fastest and most convenient way to manage multiple credit cards. Users scan their credit cards and Tally will optimize their payments and find savings. After sign up, Tally analyzes their credit cards and credit history. That allows Tally to optimize their card payments and maximize savings.
The User Journey Map
Jonathon came across Tally online and was interested in how Tally could remove the hassle of managing several credit cards. He is a tech-lover and was drawn to the prospect of making his finances simpler through Tally. This is his journey.
Companies often make the mistake of assuming that potential users will understand what their product does. Here we can see that is not always the case.
Opportunities to Improve Onboarding
Here, we see that Jonathon eventually gives up. We don't blame him. The user journey map revealed key opportunities for the Tally product manager to consider.
Opportunity: Make it easier to download the app from desktop
Jonathon didn't realize Tally was an app when he came across it on his computer. Tally should clarify that it's an app somewhere on the landing page. Moreover, it should be easier to download the app when coming from desktop. Tally should identify when visitors are on desktop. Instead of directing them to a page with no download option (as is the case currently), Tally could invite desktop users to send a download link to their mobile phone. This will keep them from having to manually search for the Tally app in the app store. Moreover, the user can choose to access that download link later on, in case they lose interest in downloading Tally in the moment.
Opportunity: Motivate the user to complete each onboarding step
Jonathon had lots of questions throughout the onboarding process. "Am I applying for credit?" "Which account do they want me to login to?" "Why should I add more than one credit card?" Best practices suggest justifying each request. That way, Jonathon could understand why they need him to complete each step.
Instead, Jonathon had to go back to the desktop website to view Tally's FAQs, a step most new users would never take. Unspecific requests like "Next, we'll link accounts" should become "Next, we'll link accounts. Tally can only help streamline payments for accounts you link." This helps users understand how Tally will use that information. Tally can also use this technique to address common user concerns: the "How's your credit" screen should add "This will not impact your credit."
Tally could also add an unobtrusive info (i) button to onboarding screens. This will be more appropriate for longer pieces of text, as Tally already does with the screen about promotional credit card rates. This will allow the product manager to include additional information without clogging up the screen.
Opportunity: Make the user feel like a success sooner
Tally has an amazing animation that appears after Jonathon's account is successfully linked. It made him feel delighted! Tally is in the unfortunate situation of needing to have a pretty lengthy onboarding process (more on that next). When that's the case, it becomes even more important to communicate to the user that they're on the right track. Tally could congratulate the user once they create their Tally account, once they enter their address, or once they upload their first credit card. That's already a lot of steps. Tally's user deserves a little pat on the back.
Opportunity: Onboard more users by leveraging sunk costs
People are notoriously bad at being objective about a task once they've spent time and energy on it. As we discuss elsewhere, once someone has successfully completed part of a task, they are motivated to finish it. Tally can capitalize on this tendency. As mentioned earlier, Tally's service necessitates lots of information from their users. So, it becomes even more important to motivate them.
The user may not have to complete all tasks right away. Tally could allow users to simply create an account and scan one credit card to access the app. Once in the app, Tally could both congratulate them (as discussed above) and provide them next steps. "Link your account" may appear when they enter the app. (Of course, they would also motivate this request: "Tally can only help streamline payments for accounts you link.") A user who has already successfully "completed" the onboarding will be more motivate to finish what they've started.
Through user journey mapping, Tally can identify problems with their onboarding process and increase their user acquisition rate.

- ...you have to have special equipment and a lot of space to practice.
- ...you have to teach things in a certain order (generally from easier-to-harder) which means that you have to teach the relatively less street effective stuff first and it can take years to learn a sufficient amount of aikido to be effective in the street.
- ...you either limit your mat years or you have to change how you are doing aiki mid-career. At some age aikidoka need to slow down on the falling and eventually stop altogether for self-protection.
- ...you intimidate the novice and run students off.
- ...you increase the safety issues and incur greater liability. I've heard of judo clubs being told to get rid of climbing ropes because of liability. Well, for Pete's sake, think! Which is more dangerous, climbing up a rope once or twice per class or taking dozens of airfalls per class?
But on the other hand, these big throws are, in large part, the artistic trademark of aikido. Many of the people that you ask will say they got into aikido in the first place because they saw a little old man with a beard pitching young, athletic judo-type guys effortlessly. That the big falls looked like magic. Well, in my opinion, that illusion of effortless magic is actually detrimental to the popularity of aikido in today's environment of ultra-pragmatic self-defense systems (i.e. kravmaga, CQB, etc…) and full-contact sport systems (BJJ, GJJ, UFC, NHB, etc…). I say get rid of the magic, get rid of the illusion, and concentrate on the real aiki. The aiki that the old guys did – and not necessarily the large-motion aiki that is exhibited so beautifully in demonstrations.
What does that mean we need to do?
Rethink your goals. aikido can be amazingly effective without uke being required to take an airfall. In fact, to do good aikido, tori absolutely must get rid of the idea that his goal is to make uke fall in a certain way. This is a nearly impossible goal to accomplish unless you have a compliant uke. Change your goals to things you have more control over (staying safe, keeping uke extended and offbalance, staying in motion, etc…) and which are less dependent on uke's compliance or skill. Get away from choreography like "tori does X and then uke does Y and so tori throws Z" and work on learning skills that allows tori to say, "I don't care how uke reacts to this. I'll be okay."
Look for the large subsets of aiki that you can do with uke responding by kneeling down or sitting back into a gentle backfall. Emphasize these subsets and all of a sudden you have an extremely viable, practical self-defense system that virtually anyone can learn rapidly (months - not years), comfortably, and in greater safety without the need for large open spaces and matted floors.

Games, and the best I have ever played
Atlantica offers one of the better market systems that I have every seen in most free to play MMO games. Its very simple and not too complicated to figure out. It has check rates feature that saves a lot of time when you want to sell something to others.
The arts market does have a limited space to sell your wares. So its a good idea to know what is most profitable like: crystals, boxes, and highly enchanted gears. A valuable tip when selling at the arts market. Make sure you check the rates for what is being sold previously. You have 2 strategies for the market depending on your immediate need for cash. Or if your bank is already over flowing. You can undercut the lowest price in the market for a couple of hundred gold cheaps. Therefore, you will sell fast depending on the demand for the merchandise. Or you could sell your wares within the top 3-4 cheapest prices and make a little more. But you won't sell as fast.
Another great feature
What I really like to use when I am in a hurry to buy more crafting arts items is to search for the materials I need to craft. You can use the search button to find them but you must type in the exact name of the material you are looking for; or it won't work. You can do this with any item in the game that is allowed to be sold in the market.
Here is a tip depending on what you are looking for: Most of us scroll to the bottom when looking for gears with particular + 5 or more enchanting. There have been times when I look int he middle of the items. Furthermore, I will find a very cheap +5 or +6 gear that I might have missed; if I just settled for quickly scrolling to the bottom. As well as buying some of the more expensive ones.
Don't plan an buying much better than +5 gears or armors. Unless you are playing on getting them to +10 which seems to my math skills. However, it might not be worth it. Until later levels you will be leveling fairly quickly and going through your sets fast. You can save up your money in early levels to buy some really nice rings; which are expensive! Its much better to start crafting and making arts your items early on. Along with choosing the ring professions is probably the best way to go! You can craft yourself nice rings and sell them for a hefty profit. More on this in different guides.
I love the Atlantica Online Games
Atlantica Online is a free big multiplayer online game (MMOG) created by NDOORS. Unlike most other similar online games, Atlantica Online Games is different primarily for its turn-based combat system. Strategic combat plays a bit role in this game. Thousands of players are enjoying it. As well as the chemistry between the players are also great. Exactly because it takes more skill and thinking than what one may find in other MMO games.
There are several main features in Atlantica Online Games; which you should familiarize yourself with before logging into this game.
Crafting and Arts
Crafting and Arts in Atlantica Online is a very important aspect of the games. As you can craft most of the equipment you and your mercenaries wear in the game. The interesting thing is you can buy crafting and arts skills from NPCs. Or you can find a player with arts, math and science skills in a particular craft. You can learn it from him. With crafting and arts you also gain experience. After which you can move on to learning the next arts level.
Games Training and Education Center
The training and education center is a unique feature which enables you and your guild to train fighting monsters for a small cost. Depending on how many monsters you defeat you will be awarded some points which can then be converted into Guild Points.
Games Mercenaries
There's a lot of different mercenaries available in AO; which fit into several main categories. Though, it depends on what kind of weapon they wield: sword mercs, staff, ax, spear, gun, bow, cannon, instrument, and power saw mercs.
Games Quests
There are plenty of science, math, arts and various quests in Atlantica you simply have to complete. However those can often be overlooked. Those quests help a great deal with advancing your character in Atlantica Online Games. They shouldn't be missed unless you want to level up forever.
Atlantica Online Games is an exciting new free-to-play games. There's really no reason not to try it. In addition to the aforementioned features Atlantica. And also has a number of other which make it different from most other games found on the market today. To play the game simply visit playatlantica.com and have fun.

Icon of the Mother of God of Constantinople
The Constantinople Icon of the Theotokos is locally venerated at Moscow's Dormition church on Malaya Dimitrovka. This image is different from the Constantinople Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos celebrated on September 17, although it appears to be a copy of it.
The wonderworking Constantinople Icon appeared on April 25, 1071.

Here's an interesting post card with a scene from what looks like a German book shop at a military post during World War I.
The handwritten letter on the reverse side is dated 21 May 1917 from Kanatlarci, Macedonia, which was occupied by the Germans during the Balkans Campaign of the Great War.
The post card was not posted; there is neither a stamp nor a cancellation mark. Perhaps it was included with a letter or written and never sent. Regardless, the author undoubtedly never envisioned his note landing in Texas nearly a hundred years later.
I can't make out the handwriting enough to take a stab at the German-to-English translation, but I did get Kanatlarci and the date, which told me World War I. A little research confirmed that quickly.
The sign in the picture, plus the books in the window, confirm we're looking at some kind of book shop. The sign reads, Feld-Deutsche Buchhandlung, which translates, I believe, to Field German book shop.
But what kind of book shop? I interpret this to be book shop set up in "the field," i.e., a military post during wartime occupation of a foreign country. I thought at first this might be for the troops, to provide them with something from home. Literature from German authors in the German language. I rejected that later because, well, why not a library to fill that need? They wouldn't make the soldiers buy the books. And if the building housed a library for the troops, the sign would read Bibliothek instead of Buchhandlung.
Perhaps this book shop was for the citizens (and military) in Kanatlarci to buy and read German propaganda, to learn about the conqueror's culture and history. I just don't know.
This did get me to thinking about other wars and if similar stores were set up by armed forces in occupied lands. Starting with Iraq and Afghanistan and working back in time, I couldn't find a single instance of a similar occurrence. That doesn't mean there weren't any, but I'm just not finding them if they exist. I spent a few hours searching from various angles with a variety of keyword combinations. Nothing like the Feld-Deutsche Buchhandlung turned up.
I'll keep researching because I'm interested in how books or a book shop figured into the strategy of a military campaign or for the operations of a military post in a foreign country. There was clearly a purpose for this book shop. Perhaps a reader will see this who can shed some light on the subject.

Bobbi B.Date Of Review: Jul 17, 2019
After dealing with back pain for a couple of years and finally having to use a walker I went to Dr. Gil upon the advise of a friend. He had a treatment plan that included the decompression and adjustment for 5 weeks. I can honestly say my back improved immensely and the walker was put in storage. I'm thankful everyday I did not go the route of surgery!
Patricia L.Date Of Review: May 30, 2019
Having had back problems for most of my life, I went to the Dr Gil Center after hearing a commercial on the radio. My experience was that my pain diminished greatly after my trial treatment. After going through the three month treatment program for spinal decompression, I felt 100% better and am now on a monthly maintenance schedule. Going up and down steps is not a problem anymore and I can perform many tasks that were unattainable before. I would highly recommend the Dr Gil Center.
Anna R.Date Of Review: Dec 09, 2018
Terrific experience! All the staff members are very professional and efficient. I definitely feel much better after going. I highly recommend Dr. Gill Center.
Bob M.Date Of Review: Jul 10, 2018
I came to Dr Gil with an MRI that showed L4 spinal stenosis, and I was constantly in pain. Physical therapy had actually increased the discomfort. After about 4 or 5 decompression treatments, I began to improve. After the 12th treatment, I walked out of the office pain free, and I remain so today. His ad says "don't take a pill, see Dr. Gil". I am a believer. Give him a try. He and his staff are professionals who take care of their patients.
Donald L.Date Of Review: Mar 05, 2018
The treatment I recieved from Dr. Gil and his staff is second to none. I had severe pain in my right shoulder. It was radiating down into my arm. The pain eventually became too much for me to deal with. Dr. Gil took x-rays and discussed my treatment options. The decompression therapy was incredible. Within a few visits I could tell a big difference. He truly is a pioneer in spinal decompression therapy. If you have spine, neck, or any type of nerve pain, GO SEE DR. GIL!!!! You'll be glad you did
Mark A.Date Of Review: Aug 03, 2017
Dear Dr. Gil: This note is to thank you and your staff for helping me heal from my debilitating back injury. I had treated with traditional medicine using pain relievers, muscles relaxers, steroids and physical therapy during April. None of these helped. I could barely walk without having to stop due to pain and seizures that took my breath. I am so very grateful to you and your team for helping me get my life back. That is as accurately as I can state it. I now have my life back. Mark Adams
Terry S.Date Of Review: Aug 01, 2017
I went to Dr Gil Center after being diagnosed with a pinched nerve in my neck. Major spinal surgery (the one where they go in through your throat) was recommended as my only means of getting rid of the excruciating pain. I could not sleep, lay down, sit or even sometimes stand without my arm hurting so bad that I couldn't even concentrate. For some reason movie theater seats were the worst. My wife and I seen a few movies in 2016 that I don't even remember how they went. I was in serious pain. Then I decided to go to the Dr. Gil Center to see if they could do anything for me. Dr Gil actually showed me why I was in such pain. He told us that he could fix this problem and showed us how he would do it through spinal decompression. Skip to the present. I sleep incredibly good, I can enjoy movies even in theaters I can sit or do anything without that sickening pain. I am absolute proof that this treatment works. Thanks Dr Gil, Dr Carl and last but defiantly not least Dr Wynn and their entire excellent staff. Back to the beginning and the doctors. I was told that I would either have the surgery or learn to live with the pain. No other options. Well, that dog just didn't hunt.! Thanks Dr Gil and Staff. Still sleeping like a baby.! TS
Michelle L.Date Of Review: Jul 08, 2017
My cousin recommended Dr. Gil. for spinal decompression (SD) because 15 years ago his SD saved her from back surgery. I chose Dr. Gil because of the recommendation, experience and pricing. At the onset I was in extreme pain due to sciatica. I received SD and adjustments from Dr. Gil, Dr. Wynn or Dr. Carl. With three doctors I feel you receive a well rounded treatment. Now, NO PAIN. The doctors and staff were friendly, attentive and listened. You will be happy if you choose them also!
James M.Date Of Review: Apr 12, 2017
I found that the adjustments really helped me. I highly recommend Dr. Gil.
Kirsha W.Date Of Review: Mar 15, 2017
I was still having major neck and back pain after surgery, but after my first visit with Dr Gil Center my life of pain changed. I'm so thankful for the Dr Gil Center kind and caring staff. This center has changed my life for the better and I'm so thankful.

I photographed these images, experimented with different types of tuning, edited and named them. I know them. I think they know me by now.
Yet seeing them published for the first time reminds me of the butterflies somewhere in my stomach. The ones that sleep most of the time, yet now - they are definitely up, fluttering around.
A bit like sending your child to the park by himself for the first time. Will he be OK? Will he find his friends there?
Here it is. Israeli lens #6. The first unveiling of the "Winter sun" portfolio.

Want to create an account on the Hotmail platform to manage your work, to get in touch with your friends, to share files and pictures, to schedule your day to day activities. Here is the easy steps guide following which you can make an account on the platform and start using it.
The sign in portal for Hotmail
- Those who are accessing their Hotmail account after a long time, they can type in Hotmail or live.com and would be redirected to the outlook.com address on their web browser.
- Here there is a unified and a single login panel.
- One would be prompted to type in their username first which is the email address of Hotmail.
- Once the email address is keyed in, one would be asked to key in password in the next page.
- Here there are alternatives provided such as the access code feature which Microsoft has created to make the login process secure and override having to type in the password manually.
- For those who login using their password, it is important that the case sensitive feature is considered.
- Once the password is keyed in correctly, one can choose to save the password using the option provided in the check box below.
The above steps ensure that sign in to Hotmail account is both convenient and secure. For those who would be logging into their Hotmail account regularly through a dedicated computer or laptop can choose to stay logged in. Security measures are made to ensure that an account cannot be hacked in easily. The revised security settings such as the access code option and the two step verification feature are also present for users to safeguard their email account further.
There are certain changes that have come by in the sign in process of Hotmail as compared to what existed previously. The Hotmail domain does not have a separate existence and it merges with outlook.com. The common login panel provided by Microsoft is for all account services. Hence, for those logging into their Hotmail domain, they need to use the same login panel as is used by Outlook users. Another change that has come by in the sign in process of Hotmail is the need to type in the full email address in the username bar.
Create/set up the Hotmail account on iPhone
Hotmail is the old email application of Microsoft and it has discontinued this service. But, if someone wants to make email Id on the platform, then the users have to create the account on the desktop or laptop using the website of Outlook. The Outlook mobile application does not allow users to create the account on Hotmail. So, to create and set up a fresh Hotmail account in iPhone, create the account on the computer and then set up the same in your iPhone. Here is the quick guide to open account on Hotmail platform.
Step 1: Open the website of Outlook using the URL www.outlook.com. Once you will tap on the URL, a new page will open with two active buttons "Create account" and "Sign in". Click on the option 'Create account' to make a fresh account in Hotmail. Once you will click on the option create an account, a new page will open.
Step 2: Here you will be asked to enter your email address. Type the Email address that you wish to create. In case you are unable to create a unique email address, what will give you some suggestions doing the same. You can pick the email address of your choice. Now, tap on the option to select the email ID that you want to create. Additionally, note down the created email Id at somewhere. This will help you to recall it when you will sign-in to your account.
Select the option Hotmail from the drop down button present in-front of the blank. You will find two options here, Hotmail and outlook. The option Hotmail is for Hotmail email account.
Step 3: After creating the user ID click on the next button to create the password of the account. Remember that the password of the account should remain unique and hard to be guessed. Password is a crucial information and you should never share it with anyone as it may cause serious damage to you.
You can take some tips from the internet to create a good password for your account. Nevertheless, some of the tips are:
- Do not keep your date of birth as your password.
- Don't keep your anniversary date as your password.
- Your pet name, spouse name, the first letters of proverb that you like should not be your password.
- Use numbers and special characters to create a difficult password.
Step 4: Once the password is created click on the next button to enter the further details. When you will click on the next button, Hotmail will ask you to enter your name, last name, your date of birth. For date of birth, there is a drop down button present, which you need to use to enter right details in the correct format. Click on the next button to enter details like your location and recovery details.
The account recovery details include your active phone number and the alternate email Id. Both the information is important and this will help you in the recovery of your account in the situation when you lose its access.
Step 5: You will be asked to enter to enter a verification code in the blank present on the screen to verify your contact details. The verification code you receive on your phone as a text message.
Step 6: Click on the next button once the step is done and then you will receive a notification from Hotmail that your account is ready to use.
To access the Hotmail account on the iPhone, you can setup this account on your phone. Here is the step guide for the same.
- To create an account on Hotmail platform, you need to open Outlook. Either you want to create an account on Hotmail or Outlook, the process is the same. Nevertheless, here we are guiding you how to create an account on the Hotmail platform without help. So, to create the account, open your phone and go the setting page and then hover the option 'Accounts and password'. After that select the option 'Add account'.
- When you will tap on the option, 'Add account', a screen will open with options. These options are of the different mailing platform that your phone support and you can create the account on. You will get options like AO, ThuderBird, Google, Outlook, etc. The option other is also present to search the email platform, which is not in the option.
- Select the option Outlook and start the process of creating accounts on Hotmail. Either you want to create accounts on Hotmail, Outlook, MSN, Live or any other emailing platform of Microsoft the process will remain the same. The reason for the same is, Microsoft has merged all its emails and created the new platform Outlook. Yet, users who want to create accounts on different platforms have the option of doing so.
- Once you will click on the option Outlook, a login page will appear where you need to enter your details. First enter your email ID with Hotmail extension. And then click on the next button.
- Now, enter the password of your account. It is good that you note down the password while you are creating the password. We usually tend to forget new passwords. Once you have memorized it, you can remove it from the place, where you have noted it down. It is also recommended that you change your account password at a regular interval of time. This will keep your password safe and protect the account from hacking.
- After entering the password correctly in the blank, enter the other details as instructed by Hotmail.
- Once your account is verified, the iPhone will give you a list of information with buttons to activate and deactivate. If you wish to share certain part of information with Hotmail on your phone you can turn that option on. The green color shows that option is active.
- Once the account is set up on your phone, Hotmail will ask you to synch data. It will give you options of 1 week to 1 month. And the option means, you can sync data of one week to one month in your phone. There is an option no limit also presents in the phone; you can choose this option as choosing this option will make all your email visible in your iPhone.
- For other setting options you can select the manual setting option and this way you do not have to enter any data, unless there is some special requirement.
After a few minutes, your Hotmail account will get synced with your iPhone and will become ready to use.
There are some important points present that you need to know while syncing your data and using it.
- If you will change the password of your Hotmail account on your phone, it will get changed on your phone as well as, and without updating the password you would not be able to access your account.
- While synching the data in your phone, it is important that you have a good internet connection on your device or this will lead to failed attempts.
Similar to iPhone, you can sync your Hotmail email account with your Android device as well. The android phones also give the same options to add the account.
Create the Hotmail account on Android
- Step 1: Open your Android device and go to the setting page.
- Step 2: Navigate the option "account and password" click on that and after that click on option 'Add account'.
- Step 3: Once you will click on option 'Add account', the option will come on the screen. Click on Outlook option to setup Hotmail in Outlook.
- Step 4: In the next step, enter our email address, the complete email address and then password and click on the next button.
- Step 5: The device will give you the option to sync details in your phone. Follow the steps mentioned in how to set up the Hotmail account in iPhone doing the same.
So, this is the easy and simple way to sync the Hotmail account in iPhone and Android phone. Though, by following these steps you will not have any issues, yet if any trouble comes, then check the detail you are entering whether it is correct or not.
Also check if you have a proper internet connection working while you are doing this task. The Hotmail is the mailing application of Microsoft and it requires internet connection to work. Interruption in connection, could lead to various types of login issues.

Lethal lunch boxes and the infestation of fear: Column
As PTAs across America swing back into action, parents are worried about grades, tests, bake sales (where still allowed), and, nowadays, contamination.
At my sons' public school in Manhattan a few years back, one of the moms wanted to ban whiteboards because she feared the fumes given off by dry-erase markers. Another was upset she had to give her son a brown bag lunch for a field trip -- not his usual insulated bag. What if his sandwich spoiled and he got food poisoning?
The opposite worry reared up just recently when a friend forwarded me a post from the website ChildrensMD titled, "Are Your School Supplies Safe?" It warned that toxic chemicals are present in vinyl "lunch boxes, binders and rain gear" at higher levels than permitted in toys, and suggested we toss our kids' licensed character lunchboxes.
This makes sense only if your kid is now excruciatingly embarrassed by his former favorite superhero. Because while the site warns about exposing our children to plastic softeners -- the same kind found in everything from shower curtains to hospital tubing, so we'd have a lot of avoiding to do -- it's exposing us parents to something far more dangerous and viral: Fear. The fear that anything less than an organic grape (cut into quarters) is out to hurt our children.
For vinyl to pose a danger, "Your kid would need to eat their lunch box," says Trevor Butterworth,of George Mason University's Statistical Assessment Service, a non-profit that examines the way the media and government use statistics.
Worrying about ordinary school supplies represents what I call "worst-first thinking" -- thinking up the WORST case scenario FIRST, and proceeding as if it's likely to happen. We see it when parents wonder if they can let their kids walk to school: "What if they get KIDNAPPED?" Or post their kids' pictures: "What if they get STALKED?" As for chemicals, worst-first treats them all like battery acid.
This fear seeps -- just like a toxin! -- into the schools. So a kindergarten teacher in Wisconsin told me she is now required to fill out a Material Safety Data Sheet on all the "chemicals" in her classroom, including baby wipes and dish soap. A mom in Colorado sent me the school rules for her kids' science fair project: "No microbial cultures, fungi, molds, bacteria, parasites. No flammable substances. No chemicals."
I guess they can study pen caps.
The fear is spreading so far and wide that recently, the ultra-progressive city of Portland, Oregon, voted to reject a plan to fluoridate its water – one of the greatest public health achievements of the 20th century!
I can't blame parents or even school boards for fretting this way, because we are bombarded by constant warnings: "Is your child's ________ safe?" But no matter how the news shows spin it, the answer is: Usually, yes. As Geoffrey Kabat, an epidemiologist at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, puts it, "We live in the safest environment that has ever existed in history."
What we do not live in is absolute safety, and that's what gives fear-mongers all the juice they need to jangle our nerves.
Allowing your kids to tote a vinyl lunch box is just not a danger worth worrying about. Neither is an uninsulated bag.
But if they eat the school lunch... there are no promises.

How to make a wax seal?
If you've ever been fascinated by calligraphy, stationary and the old times, then you might already be familiar with wax seals. Applied to paper, parchment or envelopes, they represent mystery and aristocratic elegance.
But wax seals were not only about style – over the centuries they had a very practical purpose. They were used to authenticate documents and to certify that they were not tampered with. Indeed, the impression
on the seal (a crest or a symbol) was an even more important identifier than a personal signature. An important seal could be recognizable even by illiterate citizens and thus be able to give the document adequate respect and recognition.
Wax seals were also simply used to physically bond parts of the parchment or rolls (sometimes with the help of a rope or ribbon) in order to prohibit unwanted eyes from reading letters or documents. These were the times before envelopes. The seal wax had to be rather strongly attached to the parchment or paper, but at the same time relatively brittle in order to be easily broken when opening the document.
After the introduction of paper of higher quality and of envelopes, the seals became smaller, more delicate and more precise. A signet ring – a ring with a crest on it, which symbolized power and status – was often passed down through generations of nobility.
Obviously, seals don't have as much practical use today, but they can give a lot of charm and authenticity to many everyday items when we want them to be really special. Any written message can become extraordinary and unforgettable, if handed personally, written by hand, and sealed with a personal mark of authenticity. There is probably nothing more thrilling that opening a love letter or a vow sealed with a wax seal.
However, is it actually difficult to make a wax seal? What do I need to know to make it?
The answer is that it is very easy, and also quite interesting. There are two items needed: a stamp to make an impression and some wax. If it happens that you have not inherited a crest ring or stamp that has been in your family for generations, you can do two things: find a stationary shop that sells stamps--with initials or a symbol, for example. Or, look around and try to find an interesting piece of metal with an attractive texture: a pin, a button, a textured plate. It's even better if some personal touch or meaning is involved in the impression.
Next, acquire some proper wax. Not all kinds of wax are suitable. Common paraffin candles are usually too runny when hot and too gummy after solidification. They tend to stick to your stamp instead of paper. Beeswax is a little better, and was used by the Romans, but it is relatively sticky and very picky about its temperature.
Sealing wax formulations evolved over time, and in the last two or three centuries, a common recipe consisted of rosin, shellac and turpentine, with some addition of beeswax. Today, it is not so easy to come upon these components, and moreover, they are not really safe – they can be very flammable and irritating. Turpentine is an organic solvent, and its vapors can irritate the skin and eyes, damage the lungs and respiratory system, as well as the central nervous system when inhaled. It is not the best idea to inhale the fumes of traditional sealing wax
In our Green Crafts Store we provide a safe, turpentine-free, all-natural sealing wax that is easy to use. It's made entirely from plant-derived wax. It has a consistency that doesn't stick to the stamp, which results in a clear, clean impression.
The wax comes in a stick with an embedded wick, which makes application really simple: all you need to do is light the stick like a candle, and holding the stick sideways, let some wax drip on the paper. Then you press down your stamp. The first time you try it, it might take a few attempts to get the right amount of wax, but if you ask me, that's part of the fun.
And what about "faux wax"? It is actually a modern polymer-type material to be used in hot glue guns. Personally, I stay away from it because it is a synthetic. And also, where is the magic of an artificial polymer?
Things that are supposed to be "sealed with a flame" cannot be "sealed with a glue gun"!

As you may already know, the beach between Beach 67th Street and Beach 69th Street is one of only two surfing beaches in NYC! The other is just up Rockaway Beach between Beach 87th Street and Beach 96th Street.
Those living at Arverne By The Sea love sitting on their rooftop terraces and watching the surfers out in the water. While some of our residents actually chose Arverne By The Sea because of their love for surfing, others are happy observers, or are just getting started on a new hobby.
Quite expectedly, the volume of surfers varies greatly by season. In the spring and fall only dedicated surfers make it out into the water, while in the winter the waters are understandably empty. In the warm summer months, the largest number of surfers come out to ride the waves, however a residents-only parking restriction nearby this stretch of sand deters a large number of beach-goers, who opt to spend the day around the lower Beach Street numbers.
Several surf schools do hold sessions at the beach in front of Arverne By The Sea during the summer. All are professional local businesses, who encourage residents to come out for a lesson!

Last week I was honored to be featured on the Creators Path podcast hosted by fellow Lumix Luminary, Giulio Sciorio. Giulio has had a large following online for many years (I've been among them). His advertising images and videos are known to suck their viewers in, as he mixes still with video in a more creative way than I've ever seen from anyone to be truthful.
In the podcast I talk about my transition from still photography, to video and fusion films. I talk about the joy of being part of creating a stunning film that leaves my viewers in tears and in laughter. I discuss the art of storytelling. And (as the title of this blog suggests) I talk about my shift from operating as a freelance wedding videographer, to an entrepreneur and the CEO of the Austin, Texas based LadybirdWeddingFilms.com.
I have always been a big fan of Giulio and his work, so to get to be a part of his podcast was really humbling and just a lot of fun to be honest!
If you are an artist of any type you'll love the Creators Path Podcast. I'd encourage anyone interested in pursing the creative arts to subscribe to the podcast on iTunes and maybe even give my episode a listen. ;-)

Ted is an entrepreneur with an MBA in finance, an attorney and an author who relishes his role as counselor to fellow entrepreneurs, established companies and the investors who support them.
Ted's driving belief is that entrepreneurs often need more than accomplished attorneys – the excitement and stress of conceiving a new venture demands sound business advice, shared passion, experienced leadership, and the empathy that only a fellow entrepreneur can provide. Ted listens to his clients, partners with them, understanding their business and their dreams. Even after the legal work is done, at the request of his client-friends, he often stays involved with their business, continually counseling the growing ventures.
After graduating from Vanderbilt University, Ted began his career as an entrepreneur, starting a political consulting firm that offered such services as campaign management, media creation & purchasing, and general strategy. After three years of advising challengers, incumbents and organizations, he realized how much he wanted to learn about the law and finance, so Ted sold his firm's assets and entered Vanderbilt's JD/MBA program.
Four years later, Ted began his legal career in New York with Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, a prominent firm founded in 1863 with sixteen offices in seven countries on three continents. While working in Orrick's federal securities group, he advised companies and underwriters on the private and public offering of both equity and debt.
Ted serves as General Counsel for Icebreaker Entertainment, LLC, a multi-brand consumer products company with products for sale at Walmart, Kohl's, Sear's, and many other major retailers. He and his wife are published co-authors and toured the nation in 2010 promoting their book. Ted's first novel, EAT WHAT YOU KILL, was published in hardcover by St. Martin's in March 2014. The trade paperback was released in May 2015.
Ted has been a guest speaker on venture capital and e-commerce at Vanderbilt University's Owen Graduate School of Management and was a featured panelist at a New Venture Conference. He appeared in BusinessWeek, has been interviewed on Radio Wall Street and has been quoted in many articles on both business and legal topics.
