Generic Floxin Otic
There are generic Floxin Otic (ofloxacin otic solution) products available. In fact, the brand-name form of this ear drop is no longer manufactured and only generic forms are available. The United States Food and Drug Administration has determined that the generic versions of Floxin Otic that are currently available are equivalent to the brand-name drug.
Can I Buy Generic Floxin Otic?Floxin® Otic (ofloxacin otic solution) is an antibiotic ear drop used to treat certain bacterial infections of the ear. It belongs to a group of medications called fluoroquinolones, or just "quinolones" for short.
Floxin Otic was first made by Daiichi Sankyo, Inc. However, Daiichi Sankyo stopped making brand-name Floxin Otic, and it is now only available as a generic product.
Available StrengthsGeneric Floxin Otic is available in one strength -- ofloxacin otic 0.3% solution. It comes in 5-mL and 10-mL multidose bottles.
Generic Floxin Otic is made by several different companies, including:
- Apotex, Corp.
- Bausch & Lomb Pharmaceuticals
- Hi-Tech Pharmacal Co., Inc.
Is Generic Ofloxacin Otic Solution as Good as Floxin Otic?All generic medications must undergo certain tests to compare them to brand-name medications. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) then looks at these tests to decide if the generics are equivalent to the brand-name medications and assigns each generic a rating.
An "AT" rating means that the FDA has determined that a generic topical medication (such as an ear drop) is equivalent to a brand-name medication. All of the generic Floxin Otic versions currently available have an "AT" rating, meaning they should be equivalent to brand-name Floxin Otic.
However, generic medications are allowed to have different inactive ingredients than the brand-name medication. This might include fillers, dyes, or other ingredients that may cause problems for people with allergies or sensitivities.

Bringing Amsterdam knowledge to India
On 6 February, the Amsterdam Internet Exchange (AMS-IX) announced the launch of AMS-IX India, an internet exchange in Mumbai, India. This new exchange is a collaboration between AMS-IX and the Indian company Sify, which is one of the largest ICT businesses in India.
The goal of this new exchange is to accelerate the growth of the internet in the Indian market. "India is one of the world's fastest-growing internet markets," said Job Witteman, the CEO of AMS-IX. "AMS-IX is able to contribute to the success of this IX by bringing its know-how and experience in building and maintaining neutral and independent internet exchanges," Witteman said.
Mumbai was chosen as the initial location for AMS-IX India, as it is considered the country's gateway to the internet. By connecting to the exchange, content providers and networks can exchange their internet traffic and benefit from reduced latency and costs. AMS-IX India will also strengthen the ties between Amsterdam and India's tech industry, with access to some of India's largest data centres from operators such as Tata Communications, HNS and NTT Communications.
Amsterdam's AMS-IX around the world
This new exchange builds upon the successful formula of AMS-IX in Europe, which has grown into the leading internet exchange in the world. AMS-IX also manages branches of AMS-IX in Hong Kong and Curacao, and an AMS-IX subsidiary has exchanges in San Francisco, Chicago and New York.
Established in 1994, the Amsterdam Internet Exchange is a non-profit internet exchange based in Amsterdam that interconnects more than 800 IP networks, making it one of the largest internet exchanges in the world. AMS-IX exchanges all types of internet traffic, from traditional data to mobile internet traffic and video, providing consumers and businesses with stable, fast and cost-efficient internet services. AMS-IX is important not only for technology firms, but also for financial institutions and other companies in Amsterdam that demand reliable and fast connections.

A Deeper Dumpster Dive Last month, while looking into waste and recycling in New Orleans, multiple friends and bedfellows alike told me the same thing – the city trashes its recycling.

Another day, another ordinance. It seems the laissez-faire attitude New Orleanians love to boast about is slowly chipped away daily, mainly by residents (new and old) who complain about one thing or another. The music is too loud.

I recently received this email:
Here's my dilemma: I'm trying to figure out how to determine whether the decisions I'm making are based on my own "inner voice" or whether God is directing things. Some of these decisions haven't worked out very well, and I find myself saying, "Okay, that was me deciding and not God", or, sometimes, "Okay, God wanted me to do this, and now He wants me to do that". See the problem? Sometimes I think I'm doing what God wants (because of the way things seem to have fallen into place) but then I just don't know. Any advice for the lost and confused? I sure would appreciate it.)
I've tried to live out Proverbs 3:5-6:
- Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.
However, I'm not always sure I'm on the "right" path. So, here are a couple thoughts:
First, "God's will" is all about loving Him and others. It certainly sounds like you've done that by your email. I think we get too concerned if we're on the right "path" when God simply wants us to love Him and others. Everything else is secondary.
Second, I've tried to follow this PAT answer:
- What are my passions?
What are my affirmations?
What are my talents?
When my passions, affirmations, and talents all align, that's probably where I'm living out the purpose for which I was created.
So, many times, there's no one path. Notice Proverbs 3:6 says "He will guide your paths." Plural!
As long as you're loving God with all your heart, soul, mind and spirit, and your neighbor as yourself, you're right where God wants you to be. So, God would be pleased with either choice you're facing.

Hello my fellow potatoes and tomatoes! How's everyone doing today?
I've been making my way through Breath of The Wild, and it's easily one of the greatest games ever made. So many things about it are perfect and for me it's chock of full of small details that build up and make the game so much better. I have two gripes with it however. The first is that too many quests feel like I have to go around collecting things, and my second is the Divine Beasts...
...man they dropped the ball so hard on them as well as their bosses. They're truly a chore to play through and the boss battles are not fun at all. As someone who's favourite thing in games are boss battles, this is pretty disappointing. Luckily everything else is pretty damn good.
So here's some topics for today!
• What are the worst parts in your favourite games?
• What are some good or great moments or features in otherwise bad or terrible games?
• Apparently one of the concepts for Breath of The Wild involved an alien invasion, I would have loved to see that. What direction would you love Zelda to take next?
• Today is National Taco day! What do you like to put into your tacos?
Besides from that, feel free to Talk Amongst Yourselves!
Now here's a song to start your day, and to remember a legend.

What is email marketing, and how do you do it well?
Published by
July 17, 2015 9:16 am
Email marketing is still one of the best online tools you can use to promote your business. Used effectively, it can help you promote your site, make money with affiliates, interact with potential customers. Here are the basics you need to know about email marketing in order to be successful.
What is email marketing?
Email marketing is a kind of direct marketing that uses email as a way to communicate with potential site visitors and customers. Direct marketing is essentially an umbrella term that's used to describe virtually all forms of marketing that deal directly with the target user, which means bypassing every other means of advertising channels like TV, radio, and print.
Companies primarily use email marketing to collect the email addresses of potential clients and prospects and submit email messages to those specific subscribers that contain key information regarding their products, services, or special offers.
Why every business should consider using email marketing
Due to the effectiveness of email marketing, it's used by a wide variety of people including website owners, small business owners, affiliate marketers, and bloggers. Email messages are sent directly to the subscriber, which is different from blog posts, online articles, or banner ads that require the individual to visit your site in order to explore your content. It offers additional, opt-in method to reach interested users.
Spam and email marketing
It can be easy to dismiss email marketing as being spammy. Undoubtedly there are many spam emails sent and received every day. However, email marketing is an incredibly useful and legitimate tool for information dissemination and user interaction, that is beneficial to both sender and receiver.
Email can be used as an effective marketing tool without the need to worry about annoying your target users; so long as the content of your quality email newsletter remains ethical, helpful, and relevant to your audience, you have nothing to worry about. Some of the best information come through the email marketing channel.
Launching your email marketing campaign
Here are four easy steps you'll need to follow in order to get started on your email marketing campaign endeavors.
Build your email list
First you'll need to come up with a good web form that your target users will use in order to subscribe. The majority of companies use simple graphic interfaces that will help you build your forms. Just drag and drop the fields wherever you like. Some companies even offer a vast selection of pre-made forms to choose from for your convenience.
If you use a WordPress site, there are plenty of pop-up plugins to help you. They usually will pop up a subscribe form when they user leaves your web-page (an exit popup), or else it will pop up if you scroll a certain distance down the page.
In order to drastically increase the number of your subscribers, offer something free, such as a useful report, or eBook, to give away to people who are subscribe to your email list. However, depending on your particular niche, it may include something else like an audio or video file, a collection of images or icons, or even some piece of software.
You should also explain clearly what any subscribers should expect from your emails, in terms of frequency and content. Will the email be come out once a week, or once a month? Will it contain promotions or just simply inform about new posts on your website? Once you set expectations, you should stick to them: if you promised a monthly email, then don't send a weekly mail, as this can be interpreted as spam. Stick to what you promised and you won't alienate your subscribers.
Use quality email marketing software
Once you have a list of subscribers that have opted-in for your emails, you'll now need an email marketing software program that will help you to manage email addresses and send messages, generate an auto-responder, gather statistics, etc. Basically, there are two kinds of email marketing software: hosted and self-hosted.
For most users, hosted email marketing software solutions are the better option. The company hosts the software on your behalf. Simply log onto their site in order to manage your lists and go from there.
Using a self-hosted system, you'll need to both install and host the email marketing software yourself using your own server. Usually, this option is for users with greater technical skills and more time.
You'll need to pay close attention to a couple of important factors when deciding which email marketing company to go with:
Deliverability Rate
Deliverability rate refers to the percentage of emails that actually reach their destination sent by the company.
Available Features
Consider the features the company offers such as scheduling options, auto-responder options, pre-made web forms, etc.
Some of the most popular email marketing service are listed below:
Before you can send your first email blast, you'll need to import your list of subscribers into the email software. This is usually a straightforward copy and paste, or a file upload. It should be easy to see where to do this in your email marketing software.
Build a solid relationship with your subscribers
The real value of any good email list is a result of two primary aspects: the size of the actual list, and its overall response rate. It's not enough to just focus on the size of the list. You also need to ensure that you have a solid relationship in place with your subscribers as well so they won't delete your messages as they come in. What's the best way to accomplish this task? Only send out the best quality content to your subscribers.
In some cases, and only some, it can be a good idea to generate an auto-responder series that all new subscribers will experience. The initial email in the series can be sent immediately with a quick, introductory statement that can include a link to the incetive or free gift you're offered them.
A follow-up email can be sent a suitable period after the initial one, that offers some useful information that your subscribers can use. For example, it could be a great tip on how to solve an ongoing problem they have.
Another follow-up, could be sent out after another suitable period, and should contain more useful content. Keep in mind that the first couple of emails are very important since they will primarily set the tone of your email newsletter and create trust between you and your audience.
Promote your products or services
But do it tastefully! After the first series of emails, you should already have a fairly good relationship with your audience. At this point, you can start promoting your products or services. However, don't go overboard with it. In this case, sincerity and moderation will go a long way or else your audience might unsubscribe from your list.
Regarding the frequency of your messages, there's basically no real formula for it. Some people send emails every day, while others choose once a week. This will be entirely up to you. The next time someone asks you 'what is email marketing', you can simply reply that it's the one marketing tool in your arsenal that's helped your business more than anything else.
Most email marketing services will provide analytics to report how well your email campaign has performed. There three main data points reported: open rate, click-through rate (CTR), and unsubscribe rate:
Open rate
This reports the number of times your email was actually opened and read. If this number is low, then it means people are not opening your email, possibly deleting it when they see it. So you will need to work on providing more value or improving the relationship somehow.
Click through rate
If your CTR is low, then your message is not proving effective. You need to work on improving your copy, or work on focusing your message more.
Unsubscribe rate
If you have a high unsubscribe rate, you need to figure out why this is happening. Have many unsubscribed after a particular email, or auto-responder mail, or particular subject. This may require a little investigation, but when you find a potential cause, it's important to try to remedy the situation, and rework the part of your campaign that is causing readers to unsubscribe.
Email marketing is a crucial part of any marketing strategy. By following the steps in this article, you should be able to increase your website traffic, build relationships with potential customers, and ultimately grow your business.

The Order of Acipenser is presented by NASPS to an individual or individuals for their outstanding contributions to the conservation, recovery, and/or management of sturgeon or paddlefish in North America. The NASPS is pleased to announce that we have awarded two deserving individuals the Order of the Acipenser: Dr. Tim King and Dr. Dennis Scarnecchia.
Dr. King contributed significantly to the conservation, recovery, and management of Atlantic Sturgeon and Shortnose Sturgeon. He is considered one of the founding fathers of sturgeon genetics with regard to these species. He developed markers which show relatedness between sturgeon populations and species and probable rates of genetic exchange between groups. Dr. King provided the genetic information necessary to identify five distinct population segments of Atlantic Sturgeon during the ESA status review in 2006, which assisted NOAA Fisheries when listing the species in 2012. He was constantly on the cutting edge of new developments and technology related to genetic analyses and was always willing to explain the analyses and results to non-geneticists in a way that was understandable. Dr. King passed away in the fall of 2016. We are sorry to have lost such a great researcher and person.
Dr. Scarnecchia has contributed significantly to the conservation, management, and understanding of the life history of paddlefish and sturgeon. He has been a Professor of Fish and Wildlife Resources at the University of Idaho since 1990. He has led and collaborated on numerous Acipenser research endeavors and played an invaluable role in management efforts for the species. Dr. Scarnecchia has served as an active and important advisor for the Mississippi Interstate Cooperative Resource Association (Paddlefish and Sturgeon Subcommittee) coordinating efforts for inter-jurisdictional management and conservation of paddlefish. He developed and has guided the state management of paddlefish in Montana, North Dakota, and Oklahoma and is currently assisting eight commercial paddlefish harvest states in developing consistent stock assessment data collection procedures and collaborative state harvest management frameworks in order to conserve the species with sustainable commercial harvest.

Not just celebrities, but in real life too, girls fall for boys or men with glasses. When glasses are for nerdy, then what are those secret love bows that men with specs are armed with!
He looks sophisticated
I am sure every girl wants her man to be classy with a sophisticated appeal! No one looks classier in appearance than men with glasses. Men with specs succeed in making an impression of sophistication at the very first glance; all credit goes to their mysterious glasses!
He is not superficial
For a man with glasses, looks are indeed not everything. He can teach you the ways to discover the non-physical aspects of everyone around you. If he does not care being called nerdy, then take my word, you are dating a non-superficial guy! He respects inner quality more than outer appearance, and also, he is more focused in life with clear vision.
He looks intelligent
Guys with glasses look intelligent in an obtrusive manner. This may sound cliché, but it's a fact that we all associate wearing glasses with the habit of reading more. It's fun to believe that your partner with glasses will be well read and he will know it all! 😉
He sees things differently
Being highly opinionated but with equal amount of understanding, he is smart enough to see things from different perspective. He won't feel shy while disagreeing with you, but in an amicable manner. Be ready to see the world from different interesting angles by being with a guy who wears specs all the time.
"I consider myself smart, and take pride in knowing people when I meet them. Having been a journalist for seven years gave me a deep insight into people from all walks of life. But meeting Chetan and listening to his thoughts about people was an eye opener. Completely devoid of judgement, he knew what he was talking about. He always showed me the other side of people," says Poonam Bansal, who met her 'specsy' husband five years ago.
He is fashionable
You may have clothes for all occasions in your wardrobe, but your guy with specs also has glasses to match his different outfits and moods. Wayfarer frames for office, rimless glasses for interviews and meetings, colourful, printed frames for parties, and half-rimmed, colourful frames for casual outings. Every time when you go out on a date with him, you get to see him in a different but perfect frame!
"That's one thing that really attracted me towards Varun, when we started dating. He had an enormous collection of frames. It's almost like he's a hoarder. And how impeccable he'd look in all of them! I couldn't say a 'No' when he asked me to marry him," chuckles 33-year-old Neha Tuli, who has now been married to techie Varun Tuli for six years.
Well, if there's so much that's attractive about them, then what's stopping you. Take the plunge, get closer, and start getting to know him. You never know, he may just be the one!

Environmental groups sue to stop Port Everglades dredge
[embedlycard url="http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/environment/article96271702.html"]
Lawsuit seeks to protect corals from Florida port dredging
[embedlycard url="http://www.nbc-2.com/story/32780610/lawsuit-seeks-to-protect-corals-from-florida-port-dredging"]
Submersing Ourselves in Protecting Ft. Lauderdale's Reefs
They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing twice and expecting a different result. The Army Corps, after illegally wiping out over 250 acres of Miami's reef during the dredging of the Port of Miami, has asked Congress for permission to do the same to Ft. Lauderdale.

Corps says disease, not dredging, hurt PortMiami coral
[embedlycard url="http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/environment/article57756768.html"]
"The Corps' report misleadingly and conveniently blames the disease and warm temperatures for the destruction of our corals, but all of the available evidence, including evidence from every other federal, state, and local government agency involved, shows that the Corps' dredging that was smothering the reefs long before the disease even began," said Miami Waterkeeper executive director Rachel Silverstein.
The Corps is required to monitor the area for at least another year to determine whether permanent damage occurred that would need to be addressed.
Miami Waterkeeper publishes second Op Ed in the Miami Herald
The PortMiami expansion is nearly complete, making Miami the first port in the State of Florida capable of accepting the supersized ships that will soon sail through the expanded Panama Canal. But we do not believe that the PortMiami dredging project has been the unmitigated success its proponents claim it to be. The evidence is clear that the dredging operation, which began in November 2013, has deposited an asphyxiating blanket of sediment atop our coral reef: the same reefs that protect Miami Beach's imperiled coastline from storm surges; support our teeming fish populations; and help sustain our booming tourist industry. Many Americans do not know that South Florida is home to the only coral reef tract in the continental United States: as unique as the sequoias of California or the geysers of Wyoming, and no less deserving of our protection.
Environmentalists: Don't Trust Army Corps on Port Everglades Dredging
[embedlycard url="http://www.browardpalmbeach.com/news/environmentalists-dont-trust-army-corps-on-port-everglades-dredging-7074410"]
"We definitely feel like the lessons weren't learned, and we had to lose a whole reef in Miami. We want people to do better next time, but there has been no effort to improve their plans," Silverstein says. "But I don't think this is the end of the line in the process."
MWK is awarded a Waitt Foundation Rapid Ocean Conservation Grant!
We are thrilled to announce that we were awarded a Rapid Ocean Conservation (ROC) Grant from the Waitt Foundation. These grants provide quick-turnaround funding to address emergent conservation issues. This type of funding is rare and critically important for conservation because these grants can be used to address sudden crises, such as algal blooms, oil spills, or coral bleaching. When environmental issues need an immediate response, waiting through a typical grant cycle be too slow.
Legal settlement a win for Miami and our bay
[embedlycard url="http://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/op-ed/article3853885.html"]
"This settlement is a win for the environment and for local taxpayers, who are still on the hook for the Army Corps of Engineers' mess. Our reefs and bay are ecological and aesthetic jewels, critical to our clean water economy and local culture. It's a shame, and shameful, that we had to sue the federal government to get it to follow federal law."
Miami Deep Dredge: Environmentalists Win Court Battle but Not War as Blasting Continues
[embedlycard url="http://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/miami-deep-dredge-environmentalists-win-court-battle-but-not-war-as-blasting-continues-6554165"]
"Silverstein said that even bringing the Corps to the bargaining table was a victory.
"I'm proud and impressed that a tiny organization like us or the other plaintiffs can call on the Army Corps of Engineers, this behemoth of bureaucracy, and they have to appear down here and be held accountable," she said, adding that the agreement was "an amazing outcome."
NOAA Warns of "Rapid Deterioration" of Endangered Corals Due to Deep Dredge Sludge
[embedlycard url="http://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/noaa-warns-of-rapid-deterioration-of-endangered-corals-due-to-deep-dredge-sludge-6559941"]
Nonetheless, the NOAA report is "a very big deal," says Rachel Silverstein, executive director of Biscayne Bay Waterkeeper, another environmental group against the dredge.
"This is confirmation of what we've been saying all along," she says. "It's bittersweet for us because it confirms that our reefs have really been devastated because of the project. That's not easy to hear but hopefully it does spur the Corps to action to actually do something to help the corals before it's too late."

The 5 Qualities You Must Cultivate To Be A Successful Entrepreneur
You've probably heard them before. At a party, in the break room at work, at happy hour… People everywhere daydreaming and saying, "I'd love to start my own business one day…"
Lots of people would love to start their own business. But, as I mentioned last week, loads fail – something like 80 percent!
What's the difference? What do those successful 20 percent have that the others don't – and how can you get it?
The 5 Qualities You Must Cultivate to Be a Successful Entrepreneur
1. You need perseverance
As I talked about last week, starting a business – even an online business – doesn't happen over night. It takes time, energy, lots of research and education.
Beyond that, it also takes an ability to try, try again, as the saying goes, because the first marketing message/website/approach you take may not be the best one.
That's why it is so important you choose an idea you are passionate about. Whenever I'm coaching a client, I make certain that the ideas we generate meet at that intersection of what the market wants and my client's passions.
2. You need to be prepared to work hard in the beginning
The pay off is not having to work so hard later. Whether you decide to run your new business as a side business for a while and keep your day job or take a leap and quit to work on your business full time – running a business is a lot of work.
Many people dream of working just a few hours a day, maybe from a beach somewhere sunny. That's a great goal and truly attainable – but not right at first. For a while, you may find you're working more hours than you did at your job!
You've got to be willing to put in that hard work. The good news is that doing the hard work up front makes that entrepreneur lifestyle you're dreaming of possible later.
3. You need the strength to just do it
This is one of those intangibles that can be hard to quantify, but I recognise it in my clients when they can make decisions quickly, push past self-doubt, believe in themselves, and understand the importance of a support team.
All of these things can be scary, but remember: courage isn't the absence of fear, it's acknowledging the fear and doing it anyway!
A great support team, which might include a coach and a designer or web programmer when you're getting started, can help create accountability and help you push past procrastination and doubt to get things DONE.
4. You need to be someone who enjoys working with people on some level
Think about it: every time you make a sale or get a client or do pretty much anything called business, there is someone else involved.
The foundation of any successful business is relationships—with customers, partners, vendors, and fans. This doesn't mean you have to be an extrovert who just loves going to networking parties, it just means you need to be able to make friends (without expectation) and build relationships.
No need to stress about it; this is the fun part! At some level, everyone enjoys human connection :-)
5. You need to be comfortable with being uncomfortable
This is maybe the most important one, because building a business is way more challenging than going to a job every day, but also way more fun and rewarding.
When you start a business, every day will be something new, something to learn, something to do for the first time. Nearly everything you do will be an opportunity for growth – and growth only happens at the very edges of your comfort zone.
If you're not willing to go there, you're not cut out to be an entrepreneur.
What if I don't have those traits?
Does any of that stuff up there sound a bit scary? Of course it does! I'm sure you already know: parts of being an entrepreneur can be scary. The point is not that you look at this list and laugh in the face of it, but rather that you consider each of these things carefully when deciding if the lifestyle is for you. You'll be amazed how you grow if you decide to take the leap.
Are you willing to work on any of these areas where you might feel a bit lacking right now? If so, then I'd say you're a great candidate to build your own business!
And, of course, if you're interested in talking it out with me, I'd love to chat. Click here to book a complimentary 20 minute Skype session with me and we can talk about any questions you might have.
This was number 2 in the 6 part blog series – How To Start A Side Business
Here is the complete series:
1. why starting a side business may be the secret to your success.
2. 5 qualities you must cultivate to be a successful entrepreneur.
3. the single most important skill you need to run a side business.
4. why YOU are the weakest link in your business (and what to do about it).
5. the tools I use to run my online business.
6. starting your own business: not as hard as you think!
Now I'd love to hear from you…
What do you think is the most important trait an entrepreneur can have?
One of these on the list, or something I've neglected?
Let me know in the comments below!

Musician plays for the home crowd in Shelton
Matt Bednarsky, a 2005 Shelton High graduate who is now pursuing a musical career in Nashville, performed Saturday night at the Huntington Street Cafe. The show gave him a chance to mingle with friends and admirers while visiting his family in Shelton.
Above, he poses with fellow performers at the show, from left, Mike L'Altrella, Bruce Bednarsky (Matt's dad), Matt Bednarsky, Mike Donnarummo, Ryan Hamme and Dylan Hamme.
Bednarsky attended Shelton High with Donnarummo and L'Altrella, and the Hammes now go to SHS.
Has released new music video
Bednarsky recently released a new music video for the song "Grand" from his latest album, titled "A Bigger Picture." Watch and listen to the music video by clicking below:
During the summer, Bednarsky is performing shows in Connecticut, New York City, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
He also has concert dates set through next year at venues in Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Mississippi, Nevada, North Carolina, Tennessee and Wisconsin.
Drama club, choir and a cappella
While at Shelton High, Bednarsky was active with the drama club, choir and a cappella music groups. He graduated from New York University in 2009 and then lived in New York for awhile.
He moved to Nashville — known as Music City — about a year ago and has been busy writing songs and performing ever since.
Bednarsky described his music style as being pop-rock with traces of folk, jazz and blues. "Somewhere between James Taylor and John Mayer," he said.

Philly Publishers Try To Strike $50M Deal To Save Papers From Bankruptcy
Chief Executive Officer Brian Tierney and investor Bruce Toll have offered senior lenders Angelo, Gordon & Co. and CIT Group Inc. $50 million to bring the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Philadelphia Daily News, and Philly.com out of bankruptcy, reports the Philadelphia Inquirer. This proposal was one of several new developments in bankruptcy hearing currently underway in Philadelphia.
Toll and Tierney purchased the papers in 2006 for around $515 million. Since their acquisition, revenues has dropped 20 percent. This new proposal calls for a significant amount of debt forgiveness on the part of the two major lenders. Citizens Bank, has not provided a formal written response as of yet.
Other key developments in the case include:
An agreement allowing the company to continue using its cash to operate the business for the next five weeks. The company projected that it would have $11 million in cash and $48 million in accounts receivable on May 22, when the agreement on the company's use of its cash expires.
As part of that agreement, the leading group of senior lenders dropped demands regarding a chief restructuring officer and the imposition of two independent "directors/managers" to oversee the company's operations and reorganization. Those demands were made in a court filing Friday.
In a subsequent hearing schedule for Monday, Tierney hopes to testify regarding the lenders' accusation that he "was enriching himself with raises and bonuses despite the company's financial distress."
According to Tierney, the creditors sought to retain his as CEO, going so far as to offer him $2.5 million in equity and a salary and bonus package worth $1.2 million. "This is what I will testify under oath next week," he told the paper. "I have it in writing. I rejected this. This is why it's so disingenuous for them to say they're upset."
Prior to acquiring the newspapers neither Tierney nor Toll had any newspaper experience.

VNA Stories
Interview with a Patriot
The seven Army Values
Loyalty. Duty. Respect. Selfless Service. Honor. Integrity. Personal Courage. These are the seven Army Values that one must swear an oath to live by if he or she is to become an American Soldier. Henry Martinez is one of those Soldiers. I recently had the honor of interviewing Mr. Martinez on November 2, 2016 in his home with his wife. With Veterans Day approaching, VNA wanted to pay a special visit to one of their most patriotic clients.
The youngest of three brothers, Henry Martinez comes from a proud military family. His parents came to the United States from San Felipe, Mexico in the year 1910 and gained their citizenship for the price of five cents. Henry was drafted by the United States Army to serve in the Korean War in 1950 following in the footsteps of his two older brothers who had already served in the U.S. military in World War II. His oldest brother, Eladio, served in the U.S. Army in the South Pacific. His middle brother, Feliberto, volunteered for the United States Air Force and was stationed only ten minutes from Eladio's battalion in the South Pacific Campaign. Feliberto visited Eladio on a regular basis during World War II and was called upon to fly a bomber over Hiroshima before the orders were rescinded upon hearing the atom bomb ended the war. When Feliberto learned the war was finally over, he paid a visit to Eladio's battalion to celebrate with his older brother only to learn he had been killed in action.
Henry doesn't speak of his own experiences of war, but he is proud to tell the story of his brothers and their commitment to the United States. He keeps meticulous records—every piece of paper inside a sheet protector to preserve the many pieces of history in his possession. With tears in his eyes, Henry talked of his family and the ultimate sacrifice his brother made. He finished his story by saying, "All gave some and some gave all. My brother Eladio gave all to this country. Eladio was proud to be an American."
Henry Martinez has been with VNA Meals on Wheels for a little over a year. For those who know the route, his home is easy to find with his large patriotic signs standing tall in his front yard. He told me he loves VNA and the kindness of everyone involved, especially the volunteers who come by to see him and say hello. He smiled so wide as he told us about his experience with VNA Meals on Wheels and then went on to say that he felt blessed that VNA Meals on Wheels volunteers and staff were thinking about him every day. Jokingly, I asked him if the meals Meals on Wheels provides taste better than the standard military field rations. He chuckled almost uncontrollably and said, "Of course they do! I eat like a king when you guys come to visit. I'll take you guys over Army food any day!" Before leaving Mr. Martinez' home that day, he pulled me close to him, pointed and said "You as a veteran are my brother in arms. We are family just like these guys," referring to the VNA Meals on Wheels team of staff and volunteers. "We all need to stick together. This world would be a better place with more people like them in it."
Henry told me where Eladio is buried as well as most of the rest of his family. Being a veteran myself, I felt indebted to this patriot sitting in front of me, so I paid Eladio a visit on Saturday, November 5, 2016. The final resting place of his family was very secluded. The Mexican Flag was flying at half-mast right next to the American Flag. I stood in silence and gave Eladio a gentle salute before departing.
Henry is a true American Patriot. His stories will pull at your heartstrings and put a smile on your face. It's his charisma and passion about who he is and where he comes from that make him so inspiring. Henry and his family are an American treasure in this author's eyes. I promised to return to visit him and talk about his journey through life as well as return to visit Eladio for Veterans Day to pay my respects to a fallen hero. Thank you for your service, Mr. Martinez.

The difference between a social welfare handout and a universal basic income is that the former is seen as a handout to the hopeless while the latter is an acknowledgement that the jobs provided by the industrial revolution are fast disappearing. And they're not coming back.
The interesting thing about this article from Futurism is that it suggests a UBI might actually be good for the economy itself, not just for the people displaced by technology.
As a recipient of social welfare myself, I believe that the jobs of the future will be small scale and entrepreneurial. People will provide services to each other based on a local need. In a way, this is exactly what companies like AirBnB and Uber are already doing. In twenty years time though, social media may allow me to request a homemade cake for my birthday and have it baked and delivered by my neighbour down the road.
Such micro-transations could add up to trillions of dollars if everyone did it. But everyone can't do it [now] because of two things:
- lots of red tape associated with being a small trader,
- and a social welfare system that is punitive rather than supportive
I can't see a UBI being introduced any time soon because the political mindset is simply not there. Politicians have to stop thinking of their citizens as a drain on the government purse before any true change can occur. But at least the idea is gaining ground, if slowly.

Every post I post on this blog is written in my own words, it contains my own honest opinions about the product or clothing that is mentioned. Nearly all my blog posts are my own content and I enjoy creating and writing my own blog posts.
The majority of items that are featured in my blog posts I have bought myself, with my own money or I have been given them as a present from my friends or family.
I will never accept a PR sample if I didn't genuinely like it or wouldn't buy it with my own money. If i like something, I will happily blog about it, If I don't like an item I will say so, in an honest review on my blog. I only blog about items that I think my readers will also like as I like to help people find new and amazing products.
However If I am sent an item from a PR company, for free in return for a blog post or a review It will either be listed with (*) to mark the item as a sample from a PR company. If either of those signs aren't there next to a linked item, it means I bought the item with my own money. I am always 100% with my reviews and what items are bought by me or have been sent to me.

Now let's make two things clear: ISIL is not "Islamic." No religion condones the killing of innocents, and the vast majority of ISIL's victims have been Muslim. And ISIL is certainly not a state. It was formerly al Qaeda's affiliate in Iraq, and has taken advantage of sectarian strife and Syria's civil war to gain territory on both sides of the Iraq-Syrian border. It is recognized by no government, nor the people it subjugates. ISIL is a terrorist organization, pure and simple. And it has no vision other than the slaughter of all who stand in its way.
ISIS' stated goal is to restore the "caliphate" — an Islamic state under the rule of a community of religious scholars guided by a supreme leader, the caliph or khalifah, which is generally taken to mean the successor to the Prophet Muhammad.
In the Capitol on Tuesday morning, House Democrats decided after a long debate that they too would call the extremist group ISIL — partly because ISIS was a name that first belonged to a goddess, and then to thousands of women who took said goddess's name, before a terrorist group claimed it. As Max Fisher at Vox reported last week, many women named Isis have been aggravated by the acronym favored by most people discussing the Islamic State. Isis Martinez, a woman in Miami, has been gathering signatures for a petition titled, "Thousands of Women are Named Isis, Please Petition the Media to Use the Accurate Acronym ISIL." She has 138 signatures.

Kentucky DerbyPosted on May 6, 2013 | 2 comments
I spent some time at Churchill Downs over the weekend photographing all the fabulous fashion for ELLE.com at the Kentucky Derby. This has always been one of my favorite events to photograph because I grew up riding horses and competing on a world level. I hope to get back into riding one day, but until then, my yearly trip to the Derby will have to do!
Above are a few of my favorite shots, but you can check out the entire spread on ELLE here.

Bride: Jennifer Location: Grand Rapids, MI Date: March 30th, 2018
Wholesale flowers ordered: Thistle Blue Flower (50 stems), Burgundy Berry Dahlia Flower (40 stems), Amnesia Lavender Novelty Rose (75 Roses), Burgundy Designer Hypericum Berries (5 Bunches), Pinky Lavender Wholesale Astrantia (40 Stems) and Choose Your Own Eucalyptus Greenery Pack (10 Bunches).
What they created: 1 bridal bouquet, 5 bridesmaids' bouquets, 10 boutonnieres, 19 centerpieces, and 1 other arrangement!
Scroll on for some beautiful photos of the event, courtesy of Elaine Gray Photography and an interview with the bride!
Q: What was the most memorable moment of your wedding?
A: During our ceremony when our Officiant (who is a long-time friend of mine) told us to pause and look around at all of our guests. Taking that moment to sweep the room and see all of the people we love the most there to support and celebrate with us was amazing!
Q: What attracted you to your theme/color palette?
A: We didn't have a specific theme, but with our funky industrial-meets-vintage venue we were going for a "coordinated but not perfectly matchy-matchy" look. We also wanted everyone in our wedding party to feel great in what they were wearing, which helped drive the color palette. The groomsmen all wore their own suits, shirts, and shoes, and we gifted them their ties. The bridesmaids and I collaborated on who would wear what color, and once the colors were selected, I gave them free reign to choose what dress flattered them best.
Q: What do you wish you would have known prior to DIYing your wedding flowers?
A: I worked at a florist part-time in college, and have been DIYing wedding flowers for friends and family for many years, so luckily I have a good system down at this point!
Q: Do you have any advice for a bride-to-be who is interested in DIYing their wedding flowers?
A: When choosing your flowers, focus more on the colors and textures than the actual types of flowers. You really don't have to spend thousands of dollars to have beautiful wedding flowers, I spent less than $800!
Q: Is there anything you would have done differently?
A: I wouldn't have changed a thing, it was perfect!
Q: Anything else you'd love to share about your wedding day?
A: We only had a 5-month engagement and I wouldn't have done it any other way. It gave us enough time to plan and include everything we wanted but saved us from being bogged down and overwhelmed by too many choices due to the shortened timeline. Our guests shared with us that it was one of the most fun, heartfelt and personal weddings they've been to, and that was exactly what we had hoped it would be!

In "Paper Angels," abused wife Lynn (Josie Bissett) leaves her alcoholic husband Darryl, taking her two kids, Thomas and Sara, and moving to another town where she works as a waitress to make ends meet. In that same town we meet Kevin (Matthew Settle), whose marketing & design company is on the brink of shutting down due to the economy. Plus, Kevin's wife Jenny is in a difficult pregnancy with twins.
Thomas starts a new school and becomes the target of a bully who is threatened by how well Thomas plays basketball. Unable to join the high school team, Thomas goes to the community center where he meets Kevin and the two of them become unlikely friends through pickup basketball games. Little do they know the tremendous impact they will have on each others' families this Christmas through The Salvation Army's Angel Tree Program.
This film is inspired by the hit country Christmas song also featured in the movie "Paper Angels," sung by country music star Jimmy Wayne, as well as the same-titled book by Wayne with Travis Thrasher. Wayne also has written and performed two new songs for the film.
Dove Review
The holiday season is here, so gather the family to see this wonderful Christmas movie that is both encouraging and inspiring at this special time of year.It is amazing how sometimes peoples' lives intertwine at important times without them even knowing how much. Thomas and Kevin's lives come together at a time when both need a friend and some encouragement. The words they share are those that come from within and that lead both through very trying times. This movie promotes The Salvation Army Angel Tree program, as well as is a story of faith and about the importance of helping others. It is never to late to get involved, and never give up hope because there are many people who are also struggling. To quote the film: "When things go wrong in your life, we have guidance inside," and that guidance helps us through. We are very proud to award this network movie with the Dove "Faith-Friendly" Seal for ages 12 and over.
