Biography: John Quincy Adams
John Adams expected great things from his eldest son, John Quincy. "You came into life with advantages which will disgrace you if your success is mediocre. ... And if you do not rise to the head of your country, it will be owing to your own laziness and slovenliness." He would rise, of course; he'd been preparing for the job since childhood.
A Childhood Abroad
John Quincy was born on July 11, 1767. In 1778 the 10-year-old accompanied his father on his first diplomatic mission to France. He spent most of the next eight years living with his father in Paris, Amsterdam, and London. At 14, fully conversant in French, John Quincy served as secretary and translator to St. Petersburg emissary Francis Dana. In 1783 John Quincy returned to Paris as his father's secretary during the treaty negotiations that ended the Revolutionary War.
From Law to Diplomacy
Back in America, John Quincy followed his father's path to Harvard and then into law. But he had little interest in a legal career, and in 1790 he gladly accepted President George Washington's appointment as minister to the Netherlands. His next post, as minister to Prussia, would come in 1797 from his father, by then president. This same year, John Quincy, at 30, married Anglo-American Louisa Catherine Johnson. Their marriage was by no means the partnership that his parents' was, but he found her "amiable" enough. They had four children: George Washington; John 2d; Charles Francis; and Louisa Catherine, who died at about one year of age. His sons' childhood, like that of his siblings, was marked by long separations from their ambitious father.
Changing Sides
In 1803, back in Massachusetts after his father had lost re-election, John Quincy was elected to the state legislature. Appointed to the U.S. Senate (senators were not elected by popular vote until 1913), he enraged the Massachusetts Federalist Party by being the only member of the party to support President Thomas Jefferson's Louisiana Purchase. Like his father, he had chosen policy over party. Unlike his father, when the state legislature didn't return him to the Senate, John Quincy defected to the Republican side.
Secretary of State
Under President James Madison, John Quincy rejoined the diplomatic corps as the first U.S. minister to Russia. He was one of the negotiators of the treaty ending the War of 1812, a pact that restored all U.S. territory to its prewar borders. As President James Monroe's two-term Secretary of State, John Quincy Adams is regarded by many as the best in the nation's history. He helped create the Monroe Doctrine, which shaped America's isolation policy from Europe through the early 20th century. He established the present-day U.S.-Canadian border from Minnesota to the Rockies; transferred Spanish Florida to the United States; halted Spanish and Russian claims to Oregon; and created a policy for the recognition of new Latin American nations.
His own presidency would not be as distinguished. In the four-way election of 1824, stodgy New Englander John Quincy lost the popular vote to war hero and "man of the people" Andrew Jackson, but was chosen as president when the decision went to the House of Representatives. Jackson accused Adams of winning through a corrupt bargain and vowed to beat him in 1828, which he did. In his one term as president, Adams advocated large, federally funded projects meant to improve society: road construction, river widening, educational institutions, and a national observatory. Many of these projects, however, were never realized. Like his father, he cultivated few allies in Congress.
House of Representatives
Adams left the White House in 1829. In 1831 John Quincy was elected by Massachusetts voters to the U.S. House of Representatives -- a first for any former president. Here, "Old Man Eloquent" achieved the sort of political stature he never had as president, widely respected for his strong opinions on slavery and Indian affairs. On February 21, 1848, John Quincy Adams suffered a fatal stroke in the House chamber. He died two days later.

Best Practice
Set Colors in Your PowerPoint Template
It's important to set a color palette set in your PowerPoint template to match the design elements of the template. More often than you'd think we see beautiful template designs with wonderful color schemes. But the designer stops there. The color scheme of the design isn't added to the color palette for the template. This creates a tremendous amount of disharmony on the slide. It isn't difficult to set the colors. In PowerPoint 2007 and 2010, you can access the color palette by clicking on the Design tab on the ribbon and then clicking on Colors, Create a new theme colors, and then adjusting the Accent colors, etc., to match your template color design.
Ask your designer to provide the RGB formulas for the colors used in the template design. Then simply change them out. If you don't have access to the specific colors used by the designer for some reason, a nice little Add-In called pptXTREME can help you identify the colors. It's an inexpensive utility that we use all the time. Well worth the money.

Toronto-based indie-soul/alt-folk songwriter AHI (pronounced "eye") has announced a special showcase at The Drake Underground in Toronto on June 28.
Doors are at 7:30pm, with AHI set to hit the stage at 8:30pm.
AHI recently released his independent debut LP We Made It Through The Wreckage featuring the single "Ol' Sweet Day" which incredibly broke the Billboard Spotify Viral 50 Chart and hit #34 on the U.S. Viral 50 without any promotion or marketing.
The track took off on playlists worldwide and is about to surpass 1 million streams; a rare feat for an artist yet to make his mark. A 2017 finalist in the Allan Slaight JUNO Master Class, it's not hard to see why AHI is one of Canada's most promising emerging acts.
Stream We Made It Through The Wreckage:
AHI's Indie Soul EP (2014) was chosen one of CBC Radio One's top 10 records of the year, and he has since been recognized and awarded by Folk Alliance International, Nashville Songwriters Association International, the Songwriters Association of Canada, and the Canada Council for the Arts, among others.
For his debut full-length, AHI collaborated with CMA winning producer Eric Masse (Miranda Lambert) to produce what Masse has called an entirely "new genre", blending groove-laden folk, soul and rock, and topping it off with a vocal performance to be expected from a seasoned powerhouse rather than an indie debut. With a voice like "gravel on silk", AHI is a rare talent with the keen ability to deliver a story with the ease and familiarity of an old friend. Favouring passion over precision, it's easy to see why comparisons to Richie Havens, Ray LaMontagne and Tracy Chapman are common for this soulful troubadour.
From humble beginnings in Brampton, Ontario, AHI independently toured over 50,000 miles, through the vast woodlands of Canada and the neon lights of Nashville, to the Guggenheim Museum in New York, and eventually beyond the Atlantic to the brick lanes of London. Along the way, he has recorded with leading acoustic sessions across the UK and Europe, but none has been more viewed than a simple home video of his stunning rendition of Bob Marley's "No Woman No Cry", filmed in a London alleyway and accompanied by the sweet harmonies of his three-year-old daughter. The video caught the attention of the Marley family who featured it on the official BobMarley.com website and sent AHI a personalized note from Mrs. Rita Marley herself – an unparalleled experience for an artist who cites Bob Marley as his greatest musical inspiration.

What is a Church?
When people talk about church, we might think of the building we meet in on Sundays. But that is not the church. The Church is the people who have been forgiven of their sins and who love the Lord Jesus Christ. These people who are all around the world meet with groups of other Christians, and these are called churches.
The Bible has lots of different names for the Church. Let's looks at two different ways the Bible describes the church. Sometimes it is called a "Body" (Rom. 12:4-8; 1 Cor. 12:12-31). It is called a body because people in the church need each other and because they need to be led by the Head of the body (Col. 1:19). Another word is a "bride" (Eph. 5:25-27; Rev. 19:7-9). The church is a bride because the Lord Jesus Christ loves the church, leads the church and cares for the church.
The Church is a body
For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness. Romans 12:4-8
The Church is a bride
Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready; it was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure—for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints. And the angel said to me, "Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb." And he said to me, "These are the true words of God" Revelation 19:7-9

Have Mercy!
Be merciful, just as your father is merciful. Luke: 36
Welcome to day 13 students! Today I was reminded to be merciful. I know that the 40 days of Lent that we are sharing we want to pour out Mercy for others. Do you remember a time when you were showed Mercy? As a student you may have been given more time to complete an assignment. as a teenager your parents may have gone easier on you when they found out you were up to no good. As an adult you may have messed something up at work and the boss gave you another chance. You may have hurt a friend's feelings by making a rude comment. Mercy feels really good when you are all the other end of it. Sometimes we feel like we are unforgivable. People will forgive us but we will not forgive ourselves.
Let's take this lesson a little deeper. Have you ever dealt with a person that is a taker? They are just very spiteful and make you feel horrible. How do you show Mercy to a person who is so unkind and inconsiderate? In most cases these people are very selfish and self-centered. They create unhealthy situations in order to get what they want. How do you show Mercy to a person that is so self-absorbed? Students, it is very hard. This person could be a relative, boyfriend or girlfriend, husband or wife, long time friend, or a fellow employee at work. It's so hard when you have to deal with people that are spiteful. If they are in your life, face it, you have to deal with them.
Let's think about ways that are positive or Christian ways to deal with spiteful people. First, recognize the situation and how it makes you feel. If they have a negative impact on you something needs to change. Spiteful people can steal your joy, but they are also still part of our Christian family.
When you are confronted by a spiteful person, the first thing to do is not to react. That plays right into their hands. They use emotions to manipulate you. Most times you will give in just to have peace. When you react to them with arguing you automatically lose. I know it is really hard to show Mercy to these types of people but instead of reacting close your eyes and say a prayer for patience.
Next, try to talk to the calmly. Express how you feel. Use I statements. I feel very sad when this happens or I am uncomfortable with this situation. If you use you statements they will use them to play the victim. Stand your ground and be calm setting clear boundaries. If we are going to arguing I am leaving or hanging up the phone. If it is texting, ignore them. Hit delete and don't even read it. Don't engage the negative behavior. Then pray about it and for them.
Last but not least, these personality types are usually in need of a good friend. They are insecure. Stand your ground, be positive, and don't react. You can be the person that helps them make a change. If they can't be civil then try to limit your contact with them. Remember when you do see them try to always be kind. You can't control anyone but yourself. Everyone is deserving of God's mercy. Today think of a difficult person you deal with and say a prayer for him/her. Be merciful.

Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.

"The inner dimension (nang) refers to the dynamic qualities of phenomenal experience. From the inner point of view, there is no real separation between perceiver and perceived or between subject and object. Instead, the perceptual and experiential world is understood as an energetic field that is ultimately empty of inherent existence, characterized by limitless space. Within that space, phenomena arise interdependently and fleetingly as the play of color and texture, which is experienced in a variety of ways. Perceptually, emotionally, and conceptually noumena and phenomena are simultaneously experienced in a display of intensity, or coemergence. The landscape of the inner dimension is related to communication, interchange, and the movement of energy that undergirds the conventional occurrences that we ordinarily perceive. For the dakini, the inner is expressed through visionary experience."
~ Judith Simmer-Brown, "Dakini's Warm Breath"

Culture Night is coming back to Powerscourt Centre this September! Culture Night is an annual all-island public event that celebrates culture, creativity and the arts.

Video - What Is Probate?
UPDATED: June 11, 2012
It's all about you. We want to help you make the right legal decisions.
We strive to help you make confident law decisions. Finding trusted and reliable legal advice should be easy. This doesn't influence our content. Our opinions are our own.
Video by FreeAdviceLaw
Length: 3:24
Probate is simply the process for proving to the appropriate court that a document is the deceased's last will and testament and that the deceased knew what it was and signed it under his person, under his own free will, at a time he was mentally competent, and the document was properly witnessed, getting authority from the court to gather the assets, pay the deceased's obligations, and the distribute the assets to the beneficiaries named in the will.
Each state has its own, often unique, procedures for proving the will and handling what is called the deceased's estate. Although states use different names for the court in which the process occurs – some call it probate court, some surrogates court, others orphans court, while many call it the probate section of the superior or county court – they generally do the same thing.
The document is filed in court, the court requires that notice be given to everyone who would be entitled to inherit something from the deceased if it turns out the document were not a valid will, giving them the opportunity to object. Possible objections might include claiming the document is a forgery, it wasn't properly witnessed, or that the deceased was mentally incompetent or subjected to undue influence.
It's relatively rare that someone with proper standing objects to the document, and the probate court typically makes a legal finding to the effect that it was proved that the document is the deceased's last will. Within about 6 weeks the will is normally officially accepted for probate and the court issues formal legal documents giving the person named in the will as Executor or Personal Representative full legal power to administer the deceased's probate estate, including paying the deceased's bills and taxes, and beginning to distribute the decedent's estate to the named beneficiaries.
If the deceased left minor children, especially if the other parent is out of the picture, the judge typically appoints the persons the deceased named in the will to be the children's legal guardian and the guardians of their property, and if needed, sets up procedures to safeguard their assets until they turn 18 or reach such later ages as the will sets out.
Depending upon what the will says and state law provides, the probate court may also requires periodic reports to make sure the Executor actually has done what the will provides, or to require prior approval for extraordinary transactions, to protect the interests of the beneficiaries.
In short, probate is rarely as scary, complicated, time-consuming or expensive as many people fear.

In its willingness to invoke both Shirley Jackson-style evocative restraint and full-tilt extreme horror mayhem, Hodson's DARLING is a sweetheart indeed, giving us a fine first glimpse of a formidable talent in the making.
Death and violence have always surrounded Raynham Place. No matter what's been built on it, this land tends to have a strange and shall we say, negative, effect on its occupants.
DARLING begins with two friends deciding to move in together. Raynham Place now houses an apartment complex that seems as good a place as any. Once Dennis and Mike move in, though, it doesn't take long for things to take a strange turn. The behavior of the main characters begins to change.
When a sacrifice is made, the first freely given in ages, the truth behind Raynham's legend finally surfaces.
Stefan Rudnicki narrates this chilling tale by Brad C. Hodson.

|John Peters Stevens (Father)
|Yale University (BA)
Robert Ten Broeck Stevens (July 31, 1899 – January 31, 1983) was a US businessman and former chairman of J.P. Stevens and Company, which was one of the most established textile manufacturing plants in the US.[1] He served as the Secretary of the Army between February 4, 1953 until July 21, 1955.[2]
Stevens was born on July 31, 1899 in Fanwood, New Jersey to John Peters Stevens and Edna Ten Broeck. He attended Phillips Academy and graduated in 1917. He then attended Yale University. He became president of J.P. Stevens and Company in 1929.[1] It is now part of a conglomerate—WestPoint Home.
He served as chairman of The Business Council, then known as the Business Advisory Council for the United States Department of Commerce in 1951 and 1952.[3]
Stevens came into conflict with Senator Joseph McCarthy over a series of issues that ultimately led to the Army-McCarthy hearings of 1954. In the fall of 1953, McCarthy began an investigation into the United States Army Signal Corps laboratory at Fort Monmouth. McCarthy's aggressive questioning of army personnel was damaging to morale, but failed to reveal any sign of the "dangerous spies" that McCarthy alleged to exist.[4] Next McCarthy investigated the case of Irving Peress, an Army dentist who had refused to answer questions in a loyalty-review questionnaire.
As various officers, scientists and other army staff were subjected to McCarthy's often abusive questioning, Stevens was criticized for capitulating to many of McCarthy's demands and not supporting his men.[5][6]
Concurrent with these events, McCarthy's chief counsel, Roy Cohn, had been pressuring the army, including Stevens, to give preferential treatment to his friend G. David Schine, who had recently been drafted. The Army-McCarthy hearings were held to investigate the Army's charge that McCarthy and Cohn were making improper demands on behalf of Schine, and McCarthy's counter charge that the Army was holding Schine "hostage" in an attempt to halt McCarthy's investigations into the Army. During the hearings, McCarthy questioned Stevens for several days. Although Stevens is generally considered to have handled the hearings poorly,[7] it was McCarthy who fared worst in the month-long investigation. The exposure before a television audience of McCarthy's methods and manners during the hearings are credited with playing a major role in his ultimate downfall. Stevens wanted to resign after the incident but Vice-President Richard Nixon convinced him not to.
J. P. Stevens & Company
Robert T. Stevens had a fifty-year career with J. P. Stevens & Company—named after New York-based John Peter Stevens who made his fortune by selling the products of his grandfather's Massachusetts-based family business which dated back to the War of 1812.[1][8] Under John Peter Stevens it became one of the largest textile companies in the United States with mills in the North and South.[8] By the age of thirty Robert T. Stevens was president of the company.[1] During his tenure it was "one of the world's largest, most diversified textile organizations."[1] He left Stevens for two-years to serve as Secretary of the Army and by July 1955 he returned to Stevens where he remained until his retirement.[2] He became director emeritus in 1974.[1]
Like many other companies in post-World War II United States, Stevens moved the company south specifically because he "wanted to pay lower wages and avoid unions."[9]:707
By 1963 Stevens was the second-largest company in the United States with 36,000 employees—mainly in the Southern states.[9] For that reason it was selected by the union as the target of a major organizing campaign. Stevens's employees earned "wages that were well below the manufacturing average, and they had few benefits."[9][10] Stevens resented his company being singled out by the union, and made an aggressive stand. From 1963 to 1980 the company and the union entered into a bitter struggle that became known as the J. P. Stevens campaign or controversy.[9]:707[11][12]:124[13]:53–64, 246–249[14][15][16][17]:251–272[18]:26–31[19][20]:282–298[21]
Personal life
His children include Bob Stevens from Helena, Montana, J. Whitney Stevens from New York, and Tom Stevens from Florida. The family still owns an est. 45,000-acre (180 km2) cattle ranch called the American Fork in Two Dot, Montana.
He died on January 30, 1983 in Edison, New Jersey.[1]

Earlier this week, ERT welcomed recent college graduates Alexa Kennedy and Meghan Russell. The company is funding their internships through the NASA DEVELOP program, part of NASA's Applied Sciences Program which "addresses environmental and public policy issues through interdisciplinary research projects that apply the lens of NASA Earth observations to community concerns around the globe."
Kennedy and Russell are working at NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information in Asheville, North Carolina, where they'll be focused on Central America Agriculture and Food Security; specifically dealing with coffee and climate change in Guatemala and Honduras. Their internship lasts through mid-August, during which time they'll be required to write code, analyze data, use geospatial modeling, write a technical paper, and develop a poster and video highlighting this project. ERT's Michael Kruk, a Research Scientist and regular Science Advisor for the DEVELOP Program, is mentoring the duo.
When asked why a NASA internship is being conducted at a NOAA facility, Kruk explained that while the point of the program is to demonstrate NASA Earth observations, the NOAA node helps to promote collaboration between NASA and NOAA products and observations. Other federal participants include the U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Forest Service.
For more information about the NASA DEVELOP National Program, now in its 20th year of fostering tomorrow's scientists and leaders, please visit https://develop.larc.nasa.gov/index.php.

Speaking to VentureBeat, CEO of Take-Two Ben Feder has noted that although Bioshock 2 was "profitable" for the publisher, he considers it "ultimately successful, but not hugely successful."
Accurate sales data is always difficult to find in these cases, but back in June 2009 Take-Two's Strauss Zelnick suggested that the original Bioshock had sold (at that time) around three million copies. Zelnick also said "I'd like to see a title like that sell five million units," but despite Edge's headline it appears this was in reference to the first Bioshock, rather than its sequel.
According to Take-Two's fiscal report from March 2010, Bioshock 2 had also sold three million copies (though it should be noted here that this refers to copies sold to retailers, rather than the public.) This total was apparently lower than expected and Take-Two stated that sales had dried up faster than hoped.
If both sets of data are correct, it seems that Take-Two hoped Bioshock 2 would outsell the first Bioshock and are satisfied but not delighted by an equivalent sales performance. However, Feder himself admits that the familiarity of Bioshock 2's setting (or a lack of "surprises") resulted in the game having less of an impact – and this was always going to be the case in a sequel which reused so much of what was original about the first.
Indeed, Take-Two appears to understand the need to encourage the development of new ideas, rather than just coasting along on the diminishing creative returns of established series' and franchises. The sales figures for Bioshock 2 may have aided this realisation, though Feber also commented that "the franchise is viable and has a lasting impact on consumers," so another sequel is still likely.

Leftover turkey season is quickly approaching, FINALLY.
After the big Thanksgiving dinner, our mom usually splits up all the remaining turkey and sends us each home with a couple pounds and I love finding different recipes to use it in.
This recipe is so simple to throw together and is ready in a matter of minutes. Even if you don't have turkey on hand, chicken works perfectly.
It is quick, delicious, healthy, and one that my kids absolutely love.
tips for making our turkey corn chowder
I am a lover of all soups, chilis and chowders, but this one is by far my favorite. It tastes like thanksgiving dinner in a soup.
It doesn't get much better than this, for Thanksgiving leftovers. Here are a few tips for making and preparing it.
- The recipe calls for half and half. I know I personally don't love half and half, for health purposes. However, it makes the soup so creamy and tastes so good.If you would like to substitute it out for milk, that is also an option. I have personally never tried substituting it for an almond milk, or any non-dairy product. I am sure the texture and taste would be a little different.We would recommend either using half and half, or milk, to make this recipe.
- Be sure to cook the potatoes ahead of time. They won't soften by cooking in the chowder. I use the same stock pot for this step, but I do rinse it out between boiling the potatoes, and cooking the rest of the chowder.
what potatoes work best for this recipe?
For this recipe, I used Russet Potatoes, because I had some leftover from Thanksgiving, when I didn't use all of them for mashed potatoes.
You could easily use mini red potatoes, yellow potatoes, or really any potato. I have never tried this recipe using sweet potatoes, but I think those would taste scrumptious in this.
If you try sweet potatoes, let us know in our comments below, how it was.
Any potatoes you have on hand will work for this chowder.

$1 token lease fee
I manage a suite of Community based leased facilities - all of the leases are based on an annual token fee of $1. This fee has, to date, never been actually invoiced and paid. My question is would I run into any trouble if the lease was ever contested in court and it identified that there was never any financial transaction to bind the agreement. Wondering if something like promissory estoppel would step in to counteract this fact.

Snapchat vs. Instagram
Snapchat Stories vs. Instagram Stories: Which Is Best for Your Content
By Rachel Moore August 23, 2016
#1: How Content Posts Differ
The purely episodic nature of Snapchat works to promote timely engagement and audience retention through consistent sharing of snaps. By combining the longevity of your feed posts with the 24-hour duration of your story segments, you can generate urgency while providing consistent and engaging content for your Instagram followers.
Bottom line: Snapchat relies on 24-hour stories from users, providing content that is purely episodic and temporary to viewers. Instagram content can be delivered episodically through stories or more permanently through the feed.
#2: How Filters Compare
Snapchat Geofilters for Location-Based Snaps
When you want a customized geofilter to reflect an event or location, Snapchat geofilters will frame your image or video snaps with branding and themes. While large organizations often sponsor geofilters on a bigger scale (think the Olympics or national holidays), Snapchat also lets you create and use your own geofilter.
Snapchat Face-Mapping and Motion Filters for Creative Snaps
Instagram Filters for Various Coloring Effects
Bottom line: Instagram story filters are limited to overall color, contrast, and lighting adjustments. Snapchat filters provide more options for customization, motion, and branding from the filters themselves.
#3: How Hashtags Work
At present, you can use hashtags in your Instagram and Snapchat stories to indicate segment topics or commentary. However, the hashtags don't provide any functionality for users. In other words, users can't tap a hashtag to search for that term within the app.

It's been one heck of a year. Just ask Maggie! She decided to help me one Sunday morning when I was filling the wood pile. One minute she was carrying sticks around and the next she was violently vomiting!
She got worse very quickly and was hacking up blood while I was trying to contact our regular vet...but she's gone so I had to call the next nearest in Durand. It was a hair raising twenty mile trip, going way faster than I wanted to drive while she's retching the whole way, crying and wheezing. I'm PRAYING we make it there before it's too late! She's was suddenly too quiet in the back seat as I pulled into the vet clinic. I opened the door to find her....ok! And then I noticed the bloody stem of the problem lying next to her:
Life on the farm is kinda laid back? Not really......
Next episode: I got bit by a flying squirrel. (It's no wonder I never have time for updates!)

Do you have a dark line, or linea nigra as it's officially known, making itself known on your pregnant belly?
Pregnancy brings many changes to your body; some you expect, like that growing bump, and others you don't, such as hair growing in unusual places.
One of the changes you might not be expecting is a dark line appearing up the middle of your belly.
The linea nigra has actually always been present but, around the middle of your pregnancy, it just becomes more noticeable.
What Is The 'Dark Line' or Linea Nigra?
There is a line running vertically down the middle of your stomach.
This is where the connective tissue of your abdominal muscles meet and is called the linea alba, which is Latin for 'white line'.
When you are pregnant, as your baby and belly grow and stretch the linea alba, the line begins to darken and is known as linea nigra – Latin for 'black line'.
The line usually runs from your pubic bone up to your belly, sometimes continuing toward your ribs.
During pregnancy, thanks to an increased production of estrogen, your body begins to produce extra melanin.
Melanin is a pigment that causes skin to darken, and during pregnancy causes the area around your nipples (areolas), your labia and clitoris to darken in colour.
When Does A Linea Nigra Appear?
The reason why the linea alba begins to darken is unknown, but most women will notice it around the second trimester, although it can happen earlier.
The line is never actually black, but a brown colour, and it's usually about ½ to 1 centimetre wide. The line usually darkens as your pregnancy progresses.
We think they're the best on the internet!
Click to get the FREE weekly updates our fans are RAVING about.
What Can I Do About The Linea Nigra?
You can't prevent linea nigra from occurring, as it's a natural part of pregnancy.
After the birth of your baby, the line usually fades and disappears, although in rare cases it will remain.
Exposure to the sun can make skin discolourations darker, even if you use sunscreen, so it's best to keep your baby bump under cover during pregnancy.
Even after birth, sun exposure can cause the skin to darken again.
Research has shown folate can help control skin discolourations like linea niagra.
You should be getting adequate folate, pre-pregnancy, to prevent neural defects like spina bifida.
Good sources of folate are leafy greens, lentils, beans, fresh orange juice, and mushrooms.
Find out the very important difference between folate and folic acid here.
Does The Linea Niagra Predict The Baby's Sex?
There is an old wives' tale which says if the line runs from your pubic bone and ends at your belly button, you will have a girl.
If the line continues to the bottom of your rib cage, then you are having a boy.
Another pregnancy myth says only women who are having boys will have the linea nigra.
While these myths are harmless, it's important to remember not to place too much value on them.
Each woman has a 50% chance of having a boy, and 50% chance of a girl, in each pregnancy.
Even in families where there seems to be a strong tendency toward having one gender, the odds of having a boy or a girl are exactly the same.
This means 50% of the time the old wives' tale will be right.
What If I Don't Have A Linea Nigra?
Not all women will actually see a line, particularly if they have very fair, pale skin.
Not having a linea nigra doesn't mean anything is wrong; it's simply about your physical make up, and the way your body is responding to higher levels of estrogen and melanin.
Women with naturally darker skin might find the line will appear more pronounced than in those with lighter skin.
It's important to know the linea nigra is not harmful to you or your baby.
Whether you have a line or not, linea nigra is not predictive of a normal healthy pregnancy.
Of course, if at any time you have any concerns about your pregnancy symptoms, or your baby's development, speak to your care provider.

VIDEO: Jessica Sanchez and Ne-Yo Perform on AMERICAN IDOL
American Idol runner up Jessica Sanchez and multi-platinum recording artist Ne-Yo hit the stage last night to perform their new track "Tonight." Check out their high-powered performance below!
Me, You & the Music, Sanchez's high-energy, beat-soaked debut album, will be released April 30th on 19 Recordings/Interscope Records and is available now for pre-order at Amazon. A fan exclusive pre-order is also will be available at www.jessicasanchezofficial.com and includes an instant download of "Tonight" featuring Ne-Yo and other collectibles. Me, You & the Music features production by Benny Benassi, Harvey Mason Jr., Ne-Yo, Rodney Jerkins, Stargate & Toby Gad.
Sanchez will guest star as a legendary singer from a rival high school on FOX's hit musical comedy Glee on Thursday, May 2 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) and the season finale on Thursday, May 9 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT).
Born and raised in Chula Vista, California, Sanchez has worked on honing her vocal versatility for almost her entire life. She started singing when she was two and lists Mariah Carey, Etta James, and Ray Charles among her musical influences. At age ten she performed Aretha Franklin's "Respect" on an episode of Showtime at the Apollo.
A year later, she competed on the premiere season of America's Got Talent, reaching the wild-card round before getting cut. Over the next few years, Sanchez performed at venues both large and small (including a 2008 San Diego Chargers game) and released a number of covers (such as Etta James's "I'd Rather Go Blind") through an independent record label.
After nailing her American Idol audition in 2011, Sanchez climbed to the final two and landed her deal with Interscope soon after the season finale. Diving into the recording of her debut last summer, Sanchez took a break from the studio to tear through a rousing, choir-backed rendition of Marvin Gaye's "All I Need To Get By" at the 2012 Democratic National Convention.

Cuppa Coffee Plans a Spinoff for 'Life's a Zoo'
Toronto-based animation studio Cuppa Coffee (Bruno, Celebrity Deathmatch, Ugly Americans) is planning a spinoff for its stop-motion reality show spoof Life's a Zoo. The company's distribution arm Decaf Distrib, has also signed a deal with Australian network Foxtel, for a three-year deal for the original show, which has also played on Teletoon in Canada and SBS in Australia.
"The show has proved wildly successful around the world not least Down Under, so we are thrilled that this second time around, Life's a Zoo has found a home at Foxtel," says studio founder Adam Shaheen.
Shaheen now plans to launch a new spinoff titled The Pen, starring two of the show's original characters Ray and Jake, in which they play incompetent cops trying to clear the name.
Among Cuppa Coffee's other new shows is The F'n Osbournes, inspired by the crazy adventures of rock star Ozzy Osbourne, his wife Sharon and their kids. The studio also recently animated the opening credits for David Cronenberg's edgy new film Cosmopolis. For more info, visit www.cuppacoffee.com.

Make It In a Minute: Duotone Effect in Photoshop
Long, long ago, printing anything with a bunch of ink colors was expensive. When you wanted to go beyond monotone but couldn't afford CMYK, you often turned to a duotone: two contrasting ink colors, such as blue and orange, that added richness to photos and illustrations without breaking the bank. Today, we're so accustomed to full color that duotones are a refreshing novelty. In Adobe Photoshop CC, you can turn any full-color image into a duotone for print or screens.
Click on the image below to watch the one-minute video.
Step 1. In Photoshop CC, open your photo or download the practice file, called duotone-effect.psd, and open that.
Step 2. Go to the Layers panel (Window > Layers) and click the Create New Fill or Adjustment Layer icon and choose Gradient Map. This will open the Properties panel.
Step 3. Click the gradient preview drop-down triangle to open the Gradient Editor.
Step 4. Start with a basic duotone, such as the preset named Blue-Violet, Yellow-Orange.
Step 5. To change colors, click the gradient preview, and then double-click on a Color Stop to open the color picker and select your desired hue. Click OK. Adjust each Color Stop according to what looks good to you.
Step 6. Adjust the balance between colors by dragging a Color Stop or Color Midpoint to a new position on the spectrum.
Step 7. Add additional Color Stops to the map by clicking directly underneath the gradient. Edit the new stops as needed.
Step 8. Click OK when you're happy with the image's appearance.
You're done!

Susan Boss and Mark Brown make fun, one-of-a-kind artworks in their Easthampton, Massachusetts studio.
On the first floor Susan creates silk-screen and pieced textile work that marry pop sensibilities to traditional quilt making. She incorporates non-traditional language like texting, proverbs and poetry with lush color and imaginative borders.
On the top floor they design and Mark makes mixed media clocks that are sold all over the United States. Most of the components are found at tag sales and flea markets. In the endless stream of metal containers and jar lids lie a wonderful array of colors, textures and forms. In addition to the clocks Mark creates larger robots from found and repurposed materials. All of the pieces are unique and engaging characters with their own identity and style.
Mark and Susan bring their creative energy to this mix of found, recycled and discarded objects. It is the artists' thinking that acknowledges the value of the materials and transforms them into something more beautiful.

We have a saying here in Costa Rica: Pura Vida. It means full life - and at Blue Osa, we aim to give our guests just that. Each of our rooms and bungalows are uniquely designed to deliver on comfort, convenience and relaxation. Whether it's heightened ocean views, a serene garden setting or a spacious beachfront bungalow, at Blue Osa you'll find purpose-built, jungle-chic rooms that create the ideal setting for a tranquil, restorative retreat.
The yoga retreat to Puerto Jimenez, Costa Rica was what I initially thought would be a get-away to a warm place with some physical yoga classes here and there. It ended up being so much more. My initial hesitation prior to going on the trip was traveling as a woman, on my own-I had never done that before. After speaking with Bee prior to the trip, I learned that the majority of people on these trips travel solo, so I took a chance and it ended up being one of the best, happiest decisions I've ever made. First, the backdrop of Puerto Jimenez was magical. It's an eco resort by the sea. There were many wild animals, including howler monkeys, titi monkeys, macaws, iguanas, toads, colorful butterflies, and toucans around the property living in harmony. The structure of our days was perfect. I have been practicing yoga for under a year, and felt that Bee structured the classes very well-they were balanced with both challenge and ease with excellent timing. We had an energizing, physically demanding yoga class in the morning and a more restorative, thought provoking class in the evenings. In between, we had farm-to table meals prepared by the very nice, talented, and hospitable Blue Osa staff, that were unbelievable. The food brought me so much joy. The only downside to the trip, which had nothing to do with Bee or the Blue Osa staff, who were so kind, was the location of my room. It was located right under the yoga studio, so I could hear people walking back and forth and jumping, early in the morning/late morning and in the evenings-it woke me up several times from naps or if I went to bed early. My favorite part of the day, was watching the sunrise at 5 AM, and I'm not a morning person by any means. I live in NY, which is a huge city with many distractions. This retreat ended up being a meaningful trip on so many levels. I connected to nature, to my fellow group-mates, and most importantly, to myself and found the tranquility and quiet I realized I missed. I would highly recommend this retreat to anyone that is open and looking for a multi layer, profound and joyful experience. Bee has a very special gift and understanding of yoga in both aspects of the physical science and mindful meditation/thought. She brings this knowledge to each of her students that personally left me with better physical strength/flexibility, peace and a broadened perspective.

Fullscreen is one of the top multichannel networks on YouTube today, with more than 3 billion video views per month. But there's always more it can be doing — pulling in more money, helping creators make more high-quality content.
To take care of that, Fullscreen has made a few key hires. It's brought on former SpinMedia and Demand Media exec Mike Wann as Chief Revenue Officer, and hired digital media veteran Ashley Kaplan as its head of content.
Wann will be charged with overseeing business development, integrated marketing, and ad operations for Fullscreen, leveraging nearly 20 years of experience with a number of other digital media properties. Most recently he was at SpinMedia, where he helped restructure the business ahead of its recapitalization. Prior to that, he did business development for Demand Media ahead of its $1 billion IPO. He also had held roles at Amazon and MSNBC.com.
In a phone conversation earlier in the week, Wann said he sees a big opportunity for activating revenues as more broadcast ad revenue starts creeping online. He likened it (kind of) to the Demand Media was able to leverage rapidly increasing display ad revenues as spend shifted away from more traditional media outlets.
But what about Demand Media's over-reliance on Google for the discovery of its content? While it was an early leader in the SEO game, the company virtually collapsed once Google changed its algorithm in a way that didn't favor Demand Media's content aggregation.
And hey, isn't Fullscreen today overly reliant on YouTube as its sole source of distribution, audience, views, and revenue?
Wann said that if there's one thing he learned in the fallout of Demand Media, it's that there's generally a "flight to quality" in the content business. "One thing that was very attractive about Fullscreen is the quality of content being produced," he told me. On YouTube, he believes, "there's a bit of a meritocracy in the views and scale that you get."
I guess it's a good thing Fullscreen also hired Kaplan as its head of content, where she'll oversee ongoing production and development of new premium content with "talent and brands."
Kaplan began her career as a producer at Current TV, and later moved to Viacom, where she helped launch the digital content department for Logo. Most recently, she served as VP of digital content and strategy for the Magical Elves production company, where she worked on content partnerships adjacent to its TV properties.
So what's next? Well, both those execs will be working on getting more awesome content built and noticed by advertisers on YouTube. But, there's the big YouTube question. As in, how is Fullscreen going to make money outside of YouTube?
For one answer, look no further than Fullscreen's acquisition of the mobile development team behind Viddy. The Supernova guys could provide Fullscreen with its own group of mobile apps that feature its content.
Already mobile viewing makes up 45 percent of all Fullscreen viewership, according to CEO George Strompolos. So there's a huge audience — and revenue opportunity just waiting there for the them.
Fullscreen has raised $30 million from investors that include The Chernin Group, Comcast Ventures, and WPP Digital.

CHICAGO, Sept. 13 (UPI) -- Prince Fielder's three-run homer helped Detroit build a big lead Wednesday and the Tigers survived a late comeback to down the Chicago White Sox 8-6.
Detroit moved within one game of the White Sox for the lead in the American League Central with one meeting remaining in their four-game series.
Fielder ended an 0-for-18 slump with his homer in the seventh that gave the Tigers a 6-1 cushion. Detroit built that lead to 8-1 in the eighth on RBI doubles from Alex Avila and Austin Jackson.
Chicago then struck for four runs in the bottom of the eighth, three of them scoring on the second homer of the game by Kevin Youkilis.
The White Sox added a run in the ninth, after which Dan Johnson reached on a single. That brought up Orlando Hudson as the potential tying run, but Jose Valderde struck out Hudson to end the game and earn his 30th save.
Max Scherzer (16-6) was the winner, giving up a run on four hits in six innings while striking out seven. He has won six straight decisions. Gavin Floyd (9-10) was touched for three runs on four hits in 4 2/3 to take the loss.

Lake Titicaca, the favorite place name of all middle school boys, was the perfect location to finish our Peru holiday. My son and I spent a glorious sunny day on the lake, visiting a Uros reed island, exploring Taquille Island, and learning about the history and culture from our Amantani Isle guide.
After taking the morning train from Ollantaytambo and a bus transfer in Aguas Callentes, we wound our way higher into the mountains and the cloud layer and reached Machu Picchu, and yes, with the exception of the selfie-taking crowds, it was so worth the trip to stand over this spectacular location. It was also at this point in my nine day Peru trip with my son that I was grateful to have brought with me only a lightweight, minimal X70. With all the walking, hiking, and climbing, my legs were having difficulty supporting my own body weight, let alone a bag full of gear.

Come to an October 31 special event in New
York: 'Before the Vote: The Real Results of the 2004 U.S. Election
Campaign. (Click here for details)
The question is what were going to do together, Calero replied. The SWP campaign, he said, champions the need of workers to organize unions and make the existing unions more effective so that workers can fight the bosses attacks on wages and working conditions.
In discussions at the plant gate, Calero pointed to the tearing up of union contracts by US Airways four days earlier. The employers try to fool workers by pointing to a bankruptcy court ruling backing US Airways request to void the contracts, Calero said. But its the bosses who threw out the contracts and are cutting wages, saying they need it for the companys survival. The court, whose job is to preserve the capital of the ruling families, went along. If we mobilize union power to focus our fire on the bosses its not for sure theyll go ahead with the cuts. And if they say theyll carry out their threats to shut down, as some will, we should say that if a company cant provide decent wages, benefits, and safety then it doesnt deserve to stay in business.
If these companies move anywhere in the country, or anywhere in the world, Calero said, the union should collaborate with workers there to organize and fight the bosses at their new location.
We need our own political voice, independent of the capitalist parties, Calero continued. Thats why the SWP campaign is for a labor party, based on the unions, that fights in the interests of workers and farmers 365 days a year, not only in the United States but around the world. Prospects for such a party grow out of the struggle to organize and strengthen the unions, Calero stated.
The SWP candidate pointed to the recent pressure by Washington and other imperialist powers on the government of Brazil to let United Nations inspectors into its nuclear plants. The socialists have been exposing this hypocritical campaign by U.S. imperialism and its allies to prevent governments they target from developing the energy sources they need, including nuclear energy, he said. Electrification is needed for economic development, which is a precondition for social and political advances by working people in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, he stated.
Calero and other socialist campaigners got a warm response among hundreds of workers going in and out of Farmer John, a large pork slaughterhouse. United Food and Commercial Workers Local 770 organizes the plant, which employs more than 1,300 workers. A good number of workers, however, are not members of the union.
One problem is that the company hires temporary workers, a worker from the pork cuts department told Calero. They work for three months and then theyre out the door. They never get into the union.
We need to look at how we can fight for better conditions for all of us, including temporary workers, Calero said. We have to show that the union can count. When they try to fire someone, do we go to the office together? Do we fight on the shop floor to keep the workers job? We have to focus not on what we can lose if we fight, but what we can win if we stick together. He pointed to the example of Co-Op miners in Utah fighting to win representation by the United Mine Workers of America. These workers are organizing collectively against every attack by the company, including insisting on their own translators when the bosses try to fire union militants, he said.
Another worker said he had been at the company six years and conditions were really bad. He wanted to find another job.
A lot of people say they will go somewhere else, but many of those other jobs are bad too. We cant avoid the struggle, either at this plant or anywhere else we go, said Calero.
SWP candidates for U.S. Congress Seth Dellinger and Wendy Lyons, who are running in Californias 33rd and 34th Districts, respectively, joined Calero for campaigning at the Farmer John plant gate when they got off work. Lyons works at Farmer John and Dellinger works at a subsidiary plant across the street.
The next day, Calero spoke to about 100 students in two classes at Los Angeles Trade Technical College. After a brief presentation, students peppered Calero with questions about his campaign, his party, and the SWP platform.
Cecilia, a young woman with two children, described how she had been denied unemployment benefits and did not know what to do.
That goes to the heart of our campaign, Calero responded. Working people produce all the wealth in society, along with nature. The working class struggled to win unemployment benefits and the bosses try to whittle away at them. Jobless benefits are part of a safety net workers fought for, which is necessary to keep them together, to maintain working-class solidarity, that is, human solidarity, he said. They help workers undercut the dog-eat-dog competition fostered by capitalism between those who have jobs and those who dont. The rulers teach the opposite, that this a handout, he said.
The SWP campaign calls for a massive federally funded public works program that would put millions to work and meet pressing social needslike building schools and hospitals, and repairing roads and bridges. We need to combine the fight for this kind of jobs program with the defense of measures that affect all workersunemployment, workers compensation, and Social Security, Calero said. In fact, the labor movement needs to mount a fight for the extension of Social Security so that it includes cradle-to-grave medical coverage for all.
You said 2 billion people are living without electricity. What kind of countries is that happening in? another student asked.
Calero pointed to a photo that appeared in the Militant earlier this year of the border area between Haiti and the Dominican Republic. The hills on the Haitian side are almost completely bare of trees. Most Haitians do not have electricity or any other modern energy, and have to use firewood or charcoal to cook that they can only get from cutting down the trees. The resulting deforestation has meant devastating floods and thousands of unnecessary deaths. These conditions are imposed by imperialism, he pointed out.
In Brazil, he said, one of the most industrialized Third World countries, nearly 40 percent of the rural population is without electricity and 10 percent overall. The problem is more acute in Asia and Africa.
We also need to look at the question of electrification in this country, Calero added. There are millions of people in the United States who have to decide monthly between food and the electric bill. There are parts of Mississippi and the Navajo Nation that still have no electricity. In big cities like Miami, there is ample electricity in most neighborhoods; but areas like Little Haiti have few street lights.
What can you do when they try to deport you? another student asked, referring to the successful fight that prevented the U.S. government from deporting Calero last year. Thats my question too, another student said. How do you fight?
We reached out and won broad solidarity in the fight against the governments attempt to deport me, said Calero. To wage a fight we need two things: political clarity and to mobilize all the forces that will respond. I had the help of my party, the SWP, in organizing this kind of defense.
Always remember that working people are the majority, Calero continued. Mobilizing solidarity is possible because of that fact. Its the opposite of what we
are taught from day one: Look out for number one. Solidarity is crucial to fighting attempts to victimize any section of the working class.
During his visit here, Calero also campaigned outside American Apparel, a sewing factory with 2,000 workers, and in the downtown garment district. He was interviewed by La Opinión, AP, and EFE.

Thailand celebrates the King's birthday (December 2015)
As you may know, 5th of December is the king's birthday. This day serves as the nation's Fathers Day and the celebrations are held throughout the country. Many places in Bangkok are decorated with the lights all the month.
Yesterday I went to Wat Rakang Kositaram, Tha Phra Chan, and Tha Phra Athit. After that I walked pass Khao San Road in order to take the bus back home at Khok Wua Intersection.
This is how the intersection and the area around looks at night during the celebrations. The road that is usually quiet became crowded. Instead of waiting for the bus, I walked straight on the road and took photos.
Not only Thais but also foreigners also enjoyed taking photos.
I walked on Ratchadamnoen Klang Road and passed Democracy Monument.
Royal Pavilion Mahajetsadabadin was another area that was crowded with people. From this area, you can see Pom Mahakan and Wat Ratchanatda.
The lights will be up until January 1st, 2016 from 19.00 to 22.00, and on 5th, 11th, and 31st December, the lights will be up until early morning of the next day. Actually there are some areas that are decorated beautifully, but I have not walked through such as Sanam Luang, Wat Phra Kaew, Chitralada Palace, King Rama V Monument, and so on. If I have a chance to go to those areas during this month, I will take photos and update this blog post.
If you are in Bangkok during these days, you are more than welcomed to join the celebrations!
