August is typically a month when many people will be on holiday enjoying the sea and sun and a bit of time off. As a result, seasonally August is a month that tends to be a bit quieter for sales while August and September are some of the busiest times for lettings as students look for somewhere to live in preparation for the next term.
This August we're seeing an even bigger shift in the lettings market.
In the last 3 weeks in our 5 West London offices, we've had 1/3 more tenants registering, but the same number of properties being offered for let. That means one thing – prospective tenants are competing for fewer properties. In London there are close to 7 tenants chasing every available property.
Across the city, demand to rent is rising at more than nine times the rate of supply reaching a four year high.
In essence if you're serious about finding a rental property and haven't viewed in the last 24 hours, you may find yourself missing out on the pick of lettings properties. My advice to prospective tenants is be prepared to view immediately and make a decision quickly to secure your dream home.
The tighter criteria for the new Mortgage Market Review (MMR) and the speculation over the possibility of interest rates rising have caused many prospective buyers to pause before making a commitment to buying. Instead, people are choosing to rent while they wait to see where the market will go from here.
With more renters vying for the same property, London rents have increased 5% annually and by 3% since May 2014. While in some areas supply has increased, demand has increased at a greater rate, rising 43% on the year and 11% on the month.
In Ealing, we've not seen a marked increase in supply but certainly have seen far more tenants registering which puts the pressure on tenants to act quickly to scoop the best properties before someone else.
No squeeze on mortgage restrictions for buy-to-let mortgages
The new mortgage lending criteria does not apply to buy-to-let mortgages which means that combined with the increasing demand for rental property, savvy investors have spotted the opportunity offered by the current market and are adding to their portfolios.
Applications for buy-to-let mortgages have seen a 14% annual increase in June and a 12% increase since May – the highest level since the beginning of 2014. People are still seeing more value and security in bricks and mortar as a way to save for retirement, particularly in light of recent changes to pension annuities.
August is typically a slightly quieter period of the year in sales, but those buyers who are out viewing property are serious about moving. We're finding that buyers are viewing more properties before making a decision and they are thoroughly researching properties to establish what they should be offering. So you need to be aware that the buyers in this market are well-educated about prices and your property needs be priced accordingly.
Selfridges has already opened their Christmas department which may seem a bit cringe-worthy to those who are still enjoying the warm weather and working on their tans on holiday, but sellers who takes steps now to get their property marketed will be ahead of the curve. Even if you're not ready to begin showing your property right now, starting the wheels turning now will mean that come September you'll be ready, giving you the best opportunity to receive your Christmas cards at your new address.
I remember at this time last year standing in the queue in a central London café and overhearing two people discussing how Ealing is the place to watch for investment. The discussion revolved around the introduction of Crossrail in 2018. Since that time, the investment in Ealing and in Acton has increased. Redevelopment is pouring into the area with millions of pounds being spent on refurbishment of parks like Walpole Park in Ealing and Gunnersbury Park in Acton as well as mixed commercial and residential developments planned like Ealing Filmworks in Ealing Broadway and the Oaks Shopping Centre in Acton heightening the buzz around W3, W5 and W13 in particular.
One way to spot if an area is hot or not is to take a look at the number and calibre of new homes and developments in the area. Ealing and Acton are getting a lot of attention from innovative developers like Uplift, who have created several exciting new developments in the area, including this selection of 1-2 bedroom luxury apartments in Madeley Road.
The focus in these new homes is mainly on 1-3 bedroom apartments with design-led interiors and high tech details like Uplift's iPad interfaces providing central music entertainment and remote heating systems that control the entire home and keyless touchscreen entry. Buyers snapping up these homes are looking for something that is bespoke. Uplift has spotted that "off-the-shelf" homes are just not enough to attract today's new homes buyers and have started offering bonus features like 3 years free Zipcar membership and a £1,000 driving credit to attract this new buyer who increasingly seeing Ealing and Acton as the place to be.
With things in West London changing rapidly, you need to make sure that when you choose an estate agent that they are keeping pace with the changes. One way to spot success is expansion – last year we expanded our successful Ealing Broadway lettings office to include sales giving us unparalleled coverage in Ealing. We're now planning the opening of new office in Acton which will give us a line of offices running right across the centre of West London.
Our offices work as a team rather than as isolated miniature markets – that means that those sellers and landlords who choose to market with Northfields will know that their property will be exposed to buyers in all 6 offices.
As the market in Ealing and Shepherd's Bush (where we already have well-established offices) sees increased demand, the natural overflow into bordering Acton will see this area become a hot-spot and we'll be there to make sure your property is getting the attention and exposure you need.
If you want to market your property in W3, now is the time to take advantage of our award-winning marketing as we ramp up the excitement in Acton.
Our CEO, Richard Palfreeman gives his inside views of the August 2014 property market in West London

Have you ever thought of giving travel nursing a try? Travel nursing is one of the absolute best ways to get to know exciting parts of the country without a long term commitment. Travel nursing provides great nurses with tons of opportunity to explore and experience things that a traditional job commitment wouldn't allow for, all while being extremely well paid for your care and skills.
Travel nurses are compensated in more ways than just a great salary! In addition to the typical employee benefits you would expect at a staff job, like healthcare coverage and 401k contributions, extra incentives to travel include bonuses, free or subsidized housing costs, travel stipends, rental cars, employee discounts, and even earned paid time off programs, although this is rare since travel nurses can already plan time off between their assignments for weeks at a time.
Travel nurses have the ability to work part-time throughout the year but still earn a great income. On average, a travel nurse makes 30% more than a staff nurse. This allows them to take time off between assignments for vacations and family time. A typical travel nursing assignment lasts 13-26 weeks, with the flexibility to pursue your own interests in between contracts. With the ongoing shortage of skilled nurses, right now the opportunities for travel nurses are better than ever before!Get Started Today
trustaff is a premiere, award-winning Travel Nurse Agency that places nurses of all different specialties in top paying assignments across the country. With over 15 years of experience serving nurses and other healthcare professionals, trustaff is ready to find you your next assignment. Find your next assignment today!

Posts Tagged 'New York City'
The other day I had just crossed the border between Long Island and NYC when I was pulled over for allegedly speeding, doing 70 mph. Now since everyone else at the time was doing around 65 mph in a 50-55 mph zone, whatever the speed limit it didn't seem like much. Just prior to that some moron in front of me was talking on a cell phone and driving erratically and slow in the left lane. When he finally pulled over I accelerated for all of 10 seconds to catch up with the traffic, and that is presumably when I was "speeding." Obviously when you stray from the herd you are at risk, but if anyone should have gotten a ticket is was the cell phone dude.
After waiting an interminably long period of time for the cop to do his paperwork, he came back with the ticket saying I was doing 71. By doing that he put me in a higher speed category at great cost. The measurement was thus highly questionable, and certainly disputable, but I shrugged it off, as whenever possible these days I try to just let things go and avoid hassles, as part of the random cost of living here.
However, when I looked at the ticket I found that I had gotten 6 points and a $300 fine, all of which was far out of proportion the the alleged offense. Then to make matter worse, as I read further it turned out I also had to pay yet another $300 for a "Driver Responsibility Assessment" NY now tacks on, even with a clean prior driving record. So I now had to pay $600 for a few seconds of "speeding." So then I thought this time I have to appeal, but as I read further on the ticket it stated that you can appeal if you want but if you do your fine may be increased. The message is thus clear- don't even think about appealing this. Further, this really has nothing to do with speeding or traffic safety and everything to do with revenue; but obviously not for roads since they are still awful.
From long experience I know that it is now impossible to beat a ticket in NYC. For example, one night we were at a Lincoln Center concert, and when it was over we found the car was gone. It had been towed away for allegedly parking at a bus stop.; except that there was no sign anywhere in sight and the actual stop was much further down the block. So before picking up the car and paying a few hundred dollars for the tow alone, we took several photos of the location, of the signs, the street, and the buildings, as I had every reason to appeal. When I did, I mailed in the photos and then even printed photos from Google maps of the location so that no one in their right mind could question it. Nevertheless it was turned down with the ridiculous statement that the evidence didn't prove anything and it could be anywhere, never mind that was specific to that location. But again, it had little to do with the offense and everything to do with revenue. I don't go out at night as much as I used to in the city because if I do I have to either pay more than $50 for parking or a cab, and even if parking in a spot that appears to be legal, can still get a ticket. BTW virtually all the other tow offenders where from out of town using rental cars and were clearly targeted, so be forewarned.
The city is now so anti-car it simply doesn't pay to own a vehicle or drive, which is exactly what they want; at least from a Manhattan-centric point of view, never mind what car-owners need in the other four boroughs. I've been driving here since I was 17 and this is the worst it's ever been. I don't want to give up my car, or my house, but life is now at a state-sponsored intolerable level. But if they add tolls to the Brooklyn Bridge I am gone.
So again, be advised, don't drive here, and if you don't have to work here avoid coming altogether.
After losing control of the New York City Mayoralty over the past twenty years, it was almost inevitable that the Democratic party would regain the Mayor's office in this overwhelmingly Democratic city. Unfortunately the worst possible candidate won the Democratic party primary, a far left radical named Bill DeBlasio. Perhaps he was mistaken for an outer-borough moderate by some, since polls show a majority of the population disagrees with many of his positions. Whatever the case, any of the other candidates would have been far better for the future of the city.
What is in jeopardy now is all the progress that has been made over the past two decades since Rudy Giuliani first became Mayor. I was never a fan of Michael Bloomberg, who succeeded him, but he was, at the very least, a competent manager. DeBlasio, who currently holds the ridiculous position of "Public Advocate," has a long record of left-wing activism that does not bode well for running a large, diverse, and complex entity like New York City. Worse, he has been joined by several radicals elected to the City Council, with an agenda that draws on dreams of a revolutionary people's commune.
We in large measure have the courts to thank for this ominous prospect, by exceeding their authority and declaring the previous city charter unconstitutional, due to supposed population representation issues. There used to be a Board of Estimate which held real power, in addition to the City Council. The Board consisted of the five Borough Presidents, who actually had something to do at the time, the Mayor, the Comptroller, and the President of the City Council. By the court's logic it was unfair for Staten Island to have the same vote as a borough with a larger population, say Queens. The trouble with this is that the boroughs predate the city, which only assumed its present form in 1898, when they were joined to become "Greater New York." Brooklyn, for example, was an independent city long before the consolidation, and could well have done better than in this Manhattan-centric configuration. Representation of these distinct political entities was thus a condition of the amalgamation, and provided a check, particularly on budget and land-use issues.
One of the principle policies of the radicals is to increase taxes on the "rich," or "1%," although such taxes always seems to trickle down to everyone else. I could care less about the 1%, especially since most of them are oh-so- fashionably progressive in New York City. But their liberalism will then be attenuated by the raid on their pocketbooks. If they are targeted with taxes they will simply move to one of their other houses and make that their legal residence. That means everyone else will be stuck with the bill for the lavish government expansion proposed by these candidates.
But it is not even the radical policies that are the problem, but rather the administrative ineptitude likely to result from them. For whatever the radical designs, they will inevitably crash into established institutions, resulting in inertia. Indeed the "establishment" is already nervously on board, buying in with campaign contributions, especially from the same ubiquitous real estate interests that are ever present. Given all the weight on one side, it would take a miracle for the alternative candidate, Republican Joe Lhota, to be elected.
Meanwhile, since the pot will have been increased, more hands will be reaching for the spoils, which inevitably will be distributed politically, resulting in the corruption and dysfunction we have seen in the past. Legislation and expenditures will once again be politically based rather than being determined on the merits. We will again start to hear terms like "ungovernable" and "unmanageable" associated with the city. Then as the political appetites exceed the available resources a downward spiral will commence.
New York City has come a long way since flirting with near-bankruptcy in the 1970s. We really don't need to go there again.
Michael Bloomberg is a little man with a very big ego and a penchant for plastering his name all over anything he gets ahold of; so for example, the venerable Business Week becomes Bloomberg Business Week. He overturned term limits to get a third term as Mayor of New York City, because, well, he's special and shouldn't be bound by rules meant for lesser men. The problem is, like most egomaniacs, he is nowhere near as consequential as he thinks he is, and his pontifications do not carry the weight of infallibility.
Witness his unbelievably stupid and inconsiderate decision to proceed with the New York City Marathon, thereby diverting resources from places like Staten Island, which are in desperate need of things like the generators set aside for the marathon, or the police, or for that matter, the basic necessities of life. It never would occur to him how callous his decision was, because in his mind these places are backwaters, outside of the media bubble he lives in. His notion of the city is a media construction, not the reality on the ground. Early on he raised property taxes by nearly 20%, and when the little people complained he basically said that living in New York carries a premium and you just have to pay more for the privilege of living here.
It's not that he's been a bad mayor. Indeed one could even argue that he's even been a relatively good one, but he certainly is not a great one. He did find time to weigh in on the presidential election, citing global warming as a major factor in his decision. But you'd be hard pressed to find anyone saying anything about climate in this election cycle. He further pronounced that the storm that hit the region was due to such climate change, just like green entrepreneur Al Gore; never mind that there is not a shred of scientific evidence to support that assertion. This is not to deny climate change, but rather the claim that this storm was attributable to it, when every meteorologist says otherwise. But the facts don't matter. Bloomberg has spoken.
But he is not as exceptional as he thinks he is. This is a city full of other people with the same attitude- that their wealth is proof they possess some special grace. But they confuse an ability to make a lot of money with an inherent mastery of every other subject, and assume their pronouncements are rooted in a knowledge that they do not in fact possess. Many people do not perceive themselves as others see them, but the greater the disparity, the more they play the fool. But this is usually lost on them because they surround themselves with people who confirm their self-image. A man like Bloomberg is too full of himself to perceive his limitations, and the more conceit he brings to his pronouncements, the more he appears like an emperor with no clothes.

Bridled Nail-tailed Wallaby
The bridled nail-tailed wallaby was once thought to be extinct until rediscovered in 1973 in an area near
Queensland. Today it is only found in the Taunton Scientific Reserve of northeastern Australia, and recently, a population
was released into Idalia National Park. This creature gets its name from the white "bridle" line that starts on the center of the
neck and goes around the shoulders and ending at the forearms on each side. It also possesses a black stripe on its back
that runs across the whole body. Another distinguishing feature is its "nail" (horny spur) on the end of its tail that is partially covered by
hair. Males are larger than females and can weigh up to 282 lbs. Females can weigh up to 176 lbs.
Historically, the preferred habitat of the species seems to have been acacia shrubland and grassy woodlands in the hot and dry semi-arid region of eastern Australia. In Taunton, reported habitat requirements have been open woodlands and forest containing the poplar box plant Eucalyptus populnea and the brigalow plant Acacia harpophylla. They are shy and solitary creatures, only preferring to be active at night. During the day, they spend much of their time underneath grass or a bush in a small shallow nest. Diet consists of grasses and forbs, and during very dry periods, they feed on false sandalwood. Breeding occurs year round, and the female gives birth to one "joey" (young wallaby) after a gestation period of 23 days. The joey remains in its mother's pouch for about four months.
The population of the bridled nail-tailed wallaby has declined due to competition with domestic animals, loss of habitat, and predation by introduced animals such as foxes and dingoes. The species has been bred successfully in captivity and reintroduced into protected areas, and there are plans for more reintroductions in national parks and nature reserves in the future.

Eight Species Declared Extinct But May Still be Out There1. Tasmanian Devil
The Tasmanian devil is endemic to Australia. Although this species is called tiger (named for its stripes) and wolf (due to its canid-like appearance), it is not a member of the cat or wolf family. It is a member of the marsupial family. Other members of this family include kangaroos and koala bears.
The last known Tasmanian tiger died in a zoo in Hobart, Tasmania in 1936, but there have been hundreds of unconfirmed sightings, and a reserve has been set up in Southwestern Tasmania in the hopes that possible surviving individuals can have adequate habitat.

Dick Morris's latest poll shows Wisonsin voters where the Dish is - in favor of Walker's specific requests of public sector unions, but unwilling to remove most collective bargaining rights. By slipping this collective bargaining provision into the bill - something he did not campaign on - Walker has blundered. Moreover, this measure would presumably be the most fatal to his opponents anyway:
By 54-34, Wisconsin voters support ending the automatic deduction of union dues from state paychecks and support making unions collect dues from each member.
In a poll reliant on Rasmussen's pro-GOP skewed sample, we get the following result:
More than half (56%) of respondents said Wisconsin state workers should have collective bargaining power. Just 32% sided with Walker and said state workers should not be allowed to collectively negotiate benefits and other compensation.
Almost identical. Why doesn't Walker concede on collective bargaining, declare victory and move on?

Holiday and Christmas Events in Long Beach
Family-Friendly Christmas And Winter Holiday Events Find the best family-friendly
If you're a parent, I know you're already dreading the onslaught of blocks and characters and cars and oversized teddy bears that December will bring. I'm here with one simple mantra for this holiday season: give more experiences, and less things.
You know your kids don't need another set of Batman pajamas or another effing Hatchimal, (and you certainly don't need another toy mysteriously making spooky cat meow sounds in the middle of the night so you think that a cat is living under your house, but no, it's just that damn light-sensitive puzzle meowing whenever a car goes by. …oh, just me?) …well, anyway don't give the same to another parent.
Family-Friendly Christmas And Winter Holiday Events Find the best family-friendly
Find great deals on Christmas light tours, musical shows, vintage Holiday experiences, skating rinks and more.
So, what is the best way to spend money on kids this December? I've been trying to opt for experiences, rather than toys or clothes.
Museum memberships, art classes, robotics camps… anything that doesn't require an "unboxing" video on YouTube and you're probably on the right track. I'm far from perfect in this regard, I mean, kids LOVE toys. Like so much. But you know as well as I do that the interest in the toy lasts about 9 days and then it's on to the next thing.
Don't take my word for it though, there's science behind this #ExperiencesNotThings mantra. In a study by Cornell University, researchers Tom Gilovich and Travis Carter found that when people bought experiences, they reported more long-term enjoyment than buying material possessions. The study boiled down to one finding: ultimately, our memories are more valuable than our purchases.
If you haven't read it, you've no doubt heard of (or at least read an Amazon review or two of) The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up — spoiler alert: the gist of it is we have too much stuff. A recent LA Times article reported the average American home has over 300,000 items in it, and if your house is anything like mine, 200,000 of those are parts to toys with the other parts missing.
Likely, you've heard the whopping stat from a UCLA study stating 3.1% of the world's children live in America, but they own 40% of the toys consumed globally. That's ridic. And it's time to do something about it. Give experiences, not things.
Look, I'm not going to sit here and pretend my daughter isn't head-to-toe in Cat & Jack some days, but let's face it — we have too many clothes. The average family spends $1,700 on clothes annually while giving or throwing away over 200 pounds of clothes per year.
It's not just clothes either; plastic toys account for about 90 percent of the toy market, and are pretty much impossible to recycle. The thing about plastic toys that separates them from your run of the mill plastic bottle is they are pretty much guaranteed for the landfill since there are very few toys that are good candidates for recycling.
So, you're on board, but how do you get Aunt Helen to stop going overboard with her "awesome" dollar store finds for the kids? Here are a couple of suggestions:
Lead by example. Start by giving experiences as gifts to other family members and friends with kids.
Explain your reason for choosing experiences for your kids (heck, even share this blog post or share a photo of your overloaded playroom) and encourage your extended family to give experiences too.
It's going to be a busy December, as always. Spend less time at the store and more time with your family. Give experiences, not things.
Perfect for those of you looking for ideas and for tired parents to share and not-so-subtly hint to grandma that enough is enough.
We'll start simple: art classes are amongst the easiest experiences for kids of all ages to find. From sensory experiences for the under-one set to next-level instruction for older kids, an art class is a sure-winner for nearly every kid.

14% of Us Have Never Written a Letter?
March 9, 2015No Comments
If you were born after, like, 1988, there's a decent chance you've never written a letter. And even if you're SUPER OLD and born in an ancient year like 1985, it's probably been a long time since you wrote one.
So maybe this isn't surprising. According to a new survey, the average person hasn't written a letter for at least a year and a half. And 14% of people say they've NEVER written a letter. Listen to what else they found . . .
18% of people have never written a thank-you note by hand . . .
20% have never created a physical photo album . . .
26% have never made a homemade card . . .
And 34% have never made someone a mix tape or CD.
Don't you just miss the good ole days?

Katha Dance Theatre Rubaiyat: Life in a Day0
MINNEAPOLIS — Katha Dance Theatre presents the world premiere of "The Rubaiyat: Life in a Day", Nov. 7-9, 2014, at The Cowles Center for Dance and the Performing Arts, 528 Hennepin Ave., Minneapolis, MN 55403.
Based on the poetry of Omar Khayyam, the haunting, melancholy musings of the Persian philosopher-poet are brought to life in vivid detail by KDT founding director, choreographer Rita Mustaphi, and the company dancers of Katha Dance Theatre.
The Rubaiyat, a collection of mystical, highly symbolic poems,deals with the essence of the divine and the fleeting nature of life. Nearly a millennium after the poems were written, their lyrical beauty and well-crafted rhyme and meter continue to speak evocatively to readers. In this all-new production, KDT will explore the fiery spirit of The Rubaiyat's original poems and the inner hidden meanings of some of those verses that continue to attract a worldwide audience.
The Rubaiyat – Life in a Day features the KDT company dancers (Sarika Haris, Priya Jain, Rtusha Kulkarni, Nivedita Sahni, Mukta Sathe, Anurag Sharma, Monica Singh and Rita Mustaphi along with five interns).
The Rubaiyat — Life in a Day features an exciting cast of guest artists, including composer and vocalist Maryam Yusefzadeh, actor and musician David Jordan Harris, composer and multi-instrumentalist Tim O'Keefe, violinist David Stenshoel, guitarist Thomas Nordlund, and flutist Dawn Doering. The artist-media team of Craig Harris and Candy Kuehn bring the classic poems into lustrous focus, providing design projections and digital Illustrations.
Performances of The Rubaiyat: Life in a Day will be held Friday, Nov. 7 at 8 p.m., Sat., Nov. 8 at 8 p.m., and Sunday, Nov. 9 at 2 p.m.
Tickets to The Rubaiyat are $25 to $30 with discounts available for senior, student and groups. Tickets can be purchased online at www.cowlescenter.org or by calling the Cowles Center Box Office at 612-206-3600.
The mission of Katha Dance Theatre is to preserve the Kathak dance culture of Northern India through the development of innovative and collaborative work. The company strives to make Kathak accessible through an uncompromising commitment to educational programs, performances and outreach efforts, which push the forms boundaries while establishing a diverse cultural community that embraces all.
Kathak dance is the classical dance tradition of Northern India. This elegant, spontaneous dance has its origins in the narrative tradition of the village minstrel, and was enriched over the centuries through exposure with Indo-Persian cultures. Kathak dance combines lyrical grace, subtle expressions and meaningful hand gestures with physically demanding pirouettes and intricate footwork.

Happy Sunday, internet friends!
Just a typical week around these parts, although we did experience some delightfully teasing Fall-like weather that is going to be short-lived, I'm sure. Still, mid-80s with a breeze is a dream for mid-September in Florida even if only for a few days.
This week on the internet, here's what I'm digging:
This meal planning plan. I have loved Budget Bytes for a long time and have fallen off the meal planning wagon the last few years. Her post makes me want to try it again though.
Speaking of food, this recipe looks like pure lunchtime magic.
I am two weeks into the Stepbet game challenge and have walked 112,298 steps (or approx 57 miles) since it started. I walked 77,100 (approx 39 miles) the two weeks before that and I even called myself "trying" to be more active at that time. That's a difference of 35,198 steps or 18 MILES. Ideally, I'll win some extra cash from the game at the end of the six weeks, but I am walking quite a bit more just by playing.
Some of the pantry organization tips in this article. Our pantry could use some cookies sheets and bins to wrangle some of the mess that hides behind closed doors.
This article: The Only Thing You Need to Get Good At
Finally, this look into the behind-the-scenes budget tracking of a woman who makes an actually attainable salary. I'm not particularly interested in her notebooks and her methods of tracking, but rather that she makes what is considered to be a lower salary and was still able to do some impressive things with it.
Wishing you a great new week!

Q&A: Sema Hernandez
Q&A with Sema Hernandez, 32, running as a Democrat for U.S. Senator from Texas.
Have you ever run for public office before?
What's your Hispanic connection?
I am a first generation Mexican American.
Why are you running as a candidate this time?
I have experienced first-hand the plight of the working class, migrant worker, immigrant family, person of color to understand & have viable solutions for a better way of life. I'm running at this time to be a voice for future generations.
Why are you running for this position?
I'm running for U.S. Senate to represent the everyday persons in Texas and America who are struggling to make ends meet despite working multiple jobs for very little pay.
Politically, what is your top local, and your top national concern?
My top concern is Healthcare; Universal Healthcare to be exactly.
Why do you think there are more Latino candidates now than before in Houston?
I believe Trump becoming President was a catalyst for empowerment not just for Latinos, but young people too.
Is there any local leader or politician that you would mention as a mentor or as someone that you particularly admire?
I particularly admire Nina Turner. Her story is very similar to mine. She is a woman of color who is not afraid to speak truth to power.
Please feel free to add something else if you like.
I am the first Latina in Texas History running for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. As a Latina running for congress I see many trying to tell me I don't belong, but that is what the Patriarchal system is designed to do, oppress women & women of color. The time to break the Patriarchy is now.

Dance to the ultimate party 'Wet' anthem at W Hong Kong
Artistic Director Angus Wong and star resident DJs Kenji Hidaka and PARVENU strive to take music onto a whole new level with the last GET WET Summer Series Pool Party
Time flies, summer is about to end… But that does not mean the FUN is no longer here! On September 14th, W Hong Kong will have its star resident DJs, Kenji Hidaka and Parvenu, along with Artistic Director, Angus Wong, glamorize summer with a grand finale of the GET WET Summer Series Pool Parties.
Sponsored by Veuve Clicquot, the poolside extravaganza at W Hong Kong's iconic rooftop pool will be once again summer's highlight in the city. Not only can partygoers dance in the sky at the highest outdoor pool in Hong Kong - WET, but also feast the eyes with dynamic and stunning features of Hong Kong's famous skyline.
With such a breathtaking and one-of-a-kind setting, epic entertainment and performances are a must-have! For this reason, Artistic Director Angus Wong and the hotel's resident DJs, Kenji Hidaka and PARVENU, will perform in this upcoming party!
Formed by Damian Boylan and Jonathan Daltrey, the British artistic duo Parvenu's avant-garde and UK-influenced sound with bass-heavy grooves and effected vocal samples will surely keep the dance floor packed and electrified. The rising star from Japan, Kenji, who had performed at the world-renowned music festival Clockenflap, will be bringing forth his nostalgic style of music to reconnect with the audience through forgotten treasures from the past with modern discotheque vibe.
Other than music, numerous ultra-glam quirks are set to bring fun beach parties to the sky over Hong Kong at WET. Imagine huge surfboards as the backdrop for photo-taking, flame-throwers, dancers swaying their bodies to the bumping tunes… a visit to WET makes for an electric entertainment spree. The revelry will then carry on from the clouds to WOOBAR, the hotspot in town bringing what's new / next with W Hotels' passion points of fashion and music.
To pump up the party, partygoers can enjoy 1 standard drink with another free until 9.30pm! They can also snap pictures at the parties through instagram to win 2 tickets to the next summer series party and the topic will be "My Best Moments of Summer Series". Be it a dive to the pool, DJs getting amped up with the crowd or a simple "Cheers!" with friends, as long as these are great memories to the guests they will definitely be considered as the best party moments. By adding #wsummerseries and @whongkong to the photos, guests are already eligible to enter the competition and the results will be announced at the end of each month on W Hong Kong's instagram (@whongkong).
For those who enjoy soaking up the afternoon rays, W Hong Kong presents Wet Sunday Sessions at WET DECK from 3pm to 8pm, starting from June.

Sonakshi and mom Poonam Sinha to feature in an ad together
The last time Sonakshi Sinha's mother Poonam did a full-fledged role on the big screen, it was for the Hrithik Roshan-Aishwarya Rai Bachchan starrer Jodhaa Akbar
Buzz is that the senior actress is now all set to share screen space with her daughter. Sources say the two will appear together for an ad for a beauty product very soon.
According to our sources, the makers of the ad had initially planned to cast another actress alongside Sona. But it was she who suggested they cast her mother. A source says, "Sona was seen playfully giving acting tips to her mom. Maybe she forgot Poonamji has been an actress for a very long time."
A source close to Poonam also informs that the setting of the ad — a bedroom — is very similar to the one that has been designed for the young actress in the family's new bungalow.

Dear Parrots magazine,
My city of Hamilton, Ontario first made a commitment to parrots in the 1920s, when the animal house at Dundurn Castle, a historic neoclassical mansion, was transformed into an aviary. Many people have fond memories of seeing the birds in their Victorian-styled cages. Hamiltonians would visit the castle just to see the various parrots and finches. As Dundurn Castle faced extensive historical renovations in the 1990s, the birds were removed from the location they had called home for over 70 years. The City of Hamilton then decided to adopt a policy of benign neglect, eliminating all paid aviary positions and giving the care of parrots and perching birds to a group of dedicated volunteers. Henceforth, funding for the birds was reduced to minimal.
Read more: Letters: Help needed
In the November issue, I read with great interest Eb Craven's article on Patagonian Conures. I agree with him totally that it is a very underrated bird and I can speak from experience as I have two, believed to be a pair, but they have never produced anything other than a great deal of enjoyment.
Read more: Letters: They are just great!
About six months ago, I rescued a pair of Peach-faced Lovebirds from an elderly couple who were having problems, after a neighbour told me about them. The birds were in a dirty cage with a single dowel perch, and were clearly not being looked after properly. They were being fed sunflower seeds and millet and their feathers were scruffy and not clean. The couple were very elderly and could not cope, although said they had these birds for the past five years. The husband's health had deteriorated and his wife was not much better. I said I would take them on as I already have some Peach-faced in an aviary and that seemed to make them happy.
Read more: Letters: Satisfying result
Thank you Rosemary Low (Parrots, Issue 239, December 2017) for stating "We must never forget a parrot is a parrot and needs to be treated like one, and not as a substitute child". I have never understood why many owners of companion parrots appear to desire their birds to be human beings with feathers.

Saturday, 09/17/2016 / 06.00pm – 06.45pm / Talk including exercises
Dr. med. Almut Göppert and Kirsten DeLeo
Caring for a dying person is not a philosophical matter disconnected from the reality of our everyday lives. It is both the experience and practice of human connection on the deepest level and applied wisdom. This talk will be experiential in nature and in clude practical exercises. In this session, we will look at the questions of how we can meet a dying or seriously ill person with confidence and without becoming overwhelmed by our own emotional responses. We will explore practical methods tohelp us respond to others' need with greater awareness, mindfulness and sensitivity. We will also discuss how we can meet our own fears, feelings of loss, insecurities or helplessness in a kind and compassionate way

Without some much-needed help, things would quickly get very hairy for Harry. A four-year-old Hound-Retriever mix, Harry was found as a stray on August 16th and brought to the Aiken County Animal Shelter in South Carolina. Sadly, no one ever claimed him. A great dog like Harry usually would have no problem finding an adopter or rescue, but he tested heartworm positive, and that meant he was not eligible for adoption at this shelter. It would take a rescue commitment to save Harry.
When Mary Lou Seymour of Shelter Animals Advocates and its HeartBeat Goes On program found a rescue interested in taking Harry, she wasted no time in trying to seal the deal. Dog Star Rescue in Connecticut would take Harry if funding could be found for his heartworm treatment costs. On August 20th, Mary Lou asked RADAR for help, and we agreed!
Harry received his heartworm treatment on August 28th. December Clark, Mary Lou's partner with Shelter Animal Advocates and The HeartBeat Goes On program, described Harry this way: "He's a gentle, happy-go-lucky boy. I love his brindle coloring. He's just gorgeous!" Click here to view more photos of Harry.
RADAR paid all of Harry's heartworm treatment costs, which totaled $293.
UPDATE! All funds for Harry have been raised! Thank you!
If you would like to help us have the ability to help other dogs, please visit our Donations page.
UPDATE! Harry has been adopted!
Thank you to the following contributors, who have given specifically to Harry:
Helping Hands for Hearts Fund ($100); Hound Dog Fund ($50); Liam Paskvan; Robert Cameron; Priscilla Rothe

The holy city of Banaras or Varanasi is located in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. It is one of the ?Sapta Puri? or seven holy cities where one can attain ?Moksha.? It is believed that Lord Shiva was the founder of this city that dwells on the banks of the holy Ganga. Hindu pilgrims perform ceremonies, ritualistic ablutions as well as cremation and last rites in the river ghats which are embankments made of stone slabs. The Dashashwamedh Ghat is the most spectacular one that attracts a lot of tourists to see the beautiful evening rituals. Numerous devotees and tourists from all over the world flock to Varanasi every year to visit the famous Kashi Vishwanath Temple among several others. There are several mosques and Jan temples in and around the city as well. Tourism boosts the city?s economy, along with certain medium and small-scale industries and agricultural produce. The fertile Ganges plains help the farmers cultivate crops like wheat, maize and sorghum. Copper and brass goods are also manufactured in this city apart from the small-scale industries that produce rugs, carpets, clay toys and other handicrafts. All of these contribute to the city?s economy. Varanasi is also well known for its perfumes, silk and muslin fabrics, jewelry designs, sculptures and ivory crafts. This ancient city is indeed rich in its culture and traditions.

The Discovery Channel has "postponed indefinitely" the broadcast of a TV special called Michael Jackson's Autopsy: What Really Killed Michael Jackson, which, true to its title, both features a reenactment of the late pop star's autopsy and presumably concludes that you did, by loving him too much. The network said it pulled the documentary—originally scheduled to air on January 13—partially due to the "commencement of legal proceedings next week," referring to Dr. Conrad Murray's upcoming hearing for involuntary manslaughter, during which attorneys for Jackson's former physician are reportedly prepping a defense based on the idea that Jackson actually committed suicide (and wouldn't that be embarrassing, to have to tack on a last-minute epilogue?). However, it also acknowledged a recent Internet petition that prompted Jackson's estate to accuse the Discovery Channel of a "blind desire to exploit Michael's death" for the purposes of publicity and profit, which would just be tacky.

Tommy Apap named co-captain of Michigan State
By @MichaelCaples –
Tommy Apap's getting a letter upgrade.
The Bloomfield Hills native will be wearing a 'C' for the Spartans next season.
Michigan State announced the team's captains for the 2019-2020 season, and Apap is moving from an assistant captain to co-captain with Sam Saliba.
Jerad Rosburg and Patrick Khodorenko will be serving as assistant captains for the upcoming campaign, as well. The Khodorenko news likely confirms that the Honeybaked and NTDP alum will be returning for his senior season.
"The leadership for next year's team is a true reflection of the work these four young men have put forth both on and off the ice," head coach Danton Cole said in a release. "It is great to see the players vote and elect such a selfless group of leaders.
"All four of these student-athletes have grown in their roles during their time here and will help us to continue to build our Spartan Hockey culture."
Won't be the first time @tapap4 wears the 'C' for his team…
Congrats to the 2013 @UDJ_Hockey representative at the @MiHockeyNow captains photoshoot, selected by his teammates to serve as a captain of @MSU_Hockey next fall.

As many of you know, we hold a User Group conference each year to showcase our latest technology as well as provide an opportunity for customers and partners to network. Over the last several years, we have given out our Excellence and Innovation Awards that recognize our customers and partners that have demonstrated and achieved great results, have successfully launched transformational initiatives for their business and/or use Descartes' solutions in innovative ways.
Last year, we decided it was not only important enough to recognize our customers and partners, but just as important to recognize our own employees for their contributions in helping make our customers and partners successful. Descartes appreciates the commitment, hard work and contributions our employees make and wants to continue to foster a rewarding and high-performing work culture. With that, we introduced the Descartes Quarterly Employee Excellence & Innovation Award Recognition Program for Employees.
To be eligible for the nomination, the employee must have, amongst other attributes, demonstrated:
Innovation – championing of new and valuable ideas to develop new or better processes, tools, methods, systems, products or services in support of Descartes' mission Excellence – performance with pride and to the highest professional standards, exceeding expectations, achieving exceptional result(s) for external and/or internal stakeholders
We wanted to tie it directly to our customer and partner awards, and from now on, honor not only our customers and partners at our User Group Conference, but our exemplary employees as well!
I thought it important to give a little introduction prior to announcing the winner. So, without further ado, we would like to honor our very first Descartes Quarterly Employee Excellence & Innovation Award winner - Joe Foley. Joe came to Descartes through its acquisition of Flagship Customs Services in 2006, where he was their Web Products Manager. Joe is currently a Director of Research and Development in our Government Solutions group. His specialties include International trade, and business-to-government and business-to-business messaging.
Joe's most current project entailed completely redeveloping the backend system of AESDirect for the U.S. Department of Census. AESDirect is the U.S. Census Bureau's free, Internet-based system for filing Shipper's Export Declaration (SED) information to the Automated Export System. Descartes and team, at Census, had a very specific deadline to complete the project, which gave them a little over a year to not only design and develop the new backend to AESDirect, but also to integrate it with the existing front ends. The team had to roll out the system and migrate over 40 million Electronic Export Information (EEI) records, and then transition the almost 75,000 companies that use the system from the old database to the new database. Joe's leadership was instrumental in the success of the project.
Joe's favorite parts of the project were problem solving and design. From the beginning, Joe and team had to overcome several challenges to come up with the best solution. I asked Joe what he thought made the project so successful, and he told me it wasn't just the completion of the technical side, but also that they were able to maintain good communications with the client throughout the project. The team held weekly status meetings to make sure that all key stakeholders were aware of the progress and any potential risks looming on the horizon.
Congratulations to Joe for being this quarter's Employee Excellence & Innovation Award winner and for being an outstanding project team member.

Well, on Saturday it was drippy wet outside in the snow. Excellent for making snowmen and digging around in puddles of muck, so we put on the new blue Golden Valley splash suit (see previous post). Here it is on Big Boy:
It is a size 6 (the size 5 was very small… the same size as his 4T MEC Newt Suit). Big Boy is about 105 cm tall, and this has the bottom hem rolled under about 4 inches (there is a nice mix of metric and imperial for you!), and you can see it fits over his LL Bean Kahtadin 4T snowsuit quite nicely, and still lots of room to bend and grow.
Unfortunately, like all inexpensive waterproof rain/splash suits, it keeps in the sweat. Here are a couple photos of the condensation both on the outside of the snowsuit (red) and the inside of the splash suit hood (blue). But I would rather hang up a snowsuit to dry a bit inside, than have him crying wet and cold outside when ice water and filthy mud and slush soak into his winter clothes. If he is sweating like that, it is because he is warm warm warm!
Sorry, it was dark outside (yes it is still getting dark before 5pm here), so no photos of it in action in the snow yet!
