Ask a QuestionHere are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community or ask a new question.
I'm starting a new business selling home decor, indoor and outdoor, and some small furniture to start. I'm totally stumped for a name. Any suggestions?
Sounds fun!
How about one of these:
The Treasure Chest
Mothers Attic
Home Beautiful
The Perfect Piece
Home Accessory
Pretty Shiny Things
Home Jewelry Box
Home Decor you will love for a long long time
Statement Piece
I'm about to start a home decor store in Nasik, Maharashtra (India). And I'm confused regarding what name to start with. Can you put in your suggestions? I need a clever name that's easy to spell and very catchy for both classes and masses. A shorter name is preferable.
well, it really depends. Clearly we could only offer a name in English, but perhaps you wanted something that would apply more to your local area
Doing a Wikipedia search I see that your area is near the Western Ghats mountains and the river Godavari. Also that it is one of the highest cities in India, so play to that.
There also is a great temple complex and yearly peace pilgrimage at Panchavati. It has the largest peaceful gathering in the world! That sounds huge, too.
In short, come up with something that plays to the particular characteristics of your area, that is what branding does.
If i were to come up with an idea, it would be something like "Home Delights from the Top of the World" or "Peaceful Offerings" or "Mountain River Decor" - I'm' sure you can come up with something from your area that really inspires you with a name
I am setting up a business starting with cushion covers and eventually anything to do with the home, i.e., coasters, table mats, aprons, oven glove designs, etc. My designs are all hand painted and will reflect the theme of Egyptian modern design. Please help with business name ideas?
I am opening up a shop that will sell home decor. My theme is southern vintage. I need help thinking of a name for my Esty shop.
Southern Vintage Etsy shop name choosing:
Step 1
1. You want to make sure that whatever you do you do not duplicate what's already on Etsy. You can't, of course, find every last name but at least run the first 5 or 10 choices by the
Step 2
2. Pick an adjective you want to be known for. In this case, 'vintage' is a good choice. So then make a list of all the adjectives and nouns that mean the same as 'vintage', going to thesaurus.com is one way.
Step 3
3. Choose a synonym for what you sell, IE decor, decorations, accents, details, etc. So you could be called 'timeless accents'
Step 4
4. Use the same for Southern or from the South. The only one that occurs to me is Dixie, but you get the idea.
Step 5
5. Any another word that means anything personal, like a surname or other.
This should give you ideas on generating a great name.
Five of us are starting a new store. Four of us have new and repurposed home decor and furniture. 1 have boutique clothing, shoes, and jewelry. We want a really cool name that is inclusive of all that we will be selling.
I am launching a new home decor shop, and am just now deciding on the name. However, the vibe is going to be fresh, lively, totally unique, warm and inviting, chic, and trendy. The home decor items include quilts, cushions, coverlets, etc. I am looking for a tagline that captures this feeling. Does anyone have any suggestions?
By Mansi
You just have the perfect name in your question, how about "totally unique"
I'm opening my own vintage look interiors online shop. I need a very classic name that reflects the business as a whole. Please can you help? I have added a picture of the kind of stock I have.
By Danielle
First I want to know the address of your shop!!! My kind of products! Definitely something French like. Such as "magasin d'antiquités" which is French for "Antique Shop". Pick a name in English you like and just translate it to French.
I live in Singapore, and am planning to open a physical shop to sell home decor and handicrafts from various countries, and then open an online shop.
I am also planning to add other items, like mobile accessories, clothing, etc. to sell online.
Could you suggest some trendy shop names? Thanks.
I am soon going to start a small home decor business in Dubai (UAE). I am confused regarding what name to give it. Can you please put in your suggestions? A shorter name is preferable. I want a catchy name and prefer something inspired from Buddha or that has an Eastern Asia feel to it. Thx
How about Buddah's Shui? I took the Buddah and Fung Shui and combined them.
I am looking for help naming a home decor store in the Nova Scotia community of Mahone Bay, a lovely seaside town. The shop will sell one of kind decor, repainted furniture, recycled items, and hopefully Annie Sloan chalk paint. I would love to include nautical items such as seaglass!
By Maureen L
How about "You're Home Store". Whether you spell it with our without the apostrophe, it works. Hope that helped.

I opened a shop to sell home decor accessories like throw pillows, wall stickers, signs, wall decor and metal plaques. Can you suggest some good name?
I'm starting a home decor online store in Miami and I cannot for the life of me come up with a name. I am mostly creating decorative pillows and will eventually make table liners, place mats, decorative picture frames and wedding albums. I really need help. I have already paid for 2 gigs on Fiverr but there was really no thought put into the names; in other words the names did not match what I was doing. Please help me.
How about "You're Home"...a play on words as to "your home" but with proper grammar. Or perhaps "Decor and More"?? I hope these help. PBP
I've started my own home decor range. I'm struggling with a name. I thought of "home made", but don't want it to come across as it's been made at home (crafty), but more as the item will make your home. It needs to be short, 10 letters at most, as must fit on outer label.
The product range includes screen printed scatter cushion covers, aprons, magazine racks, pouches, and eventually I would like to incorporate throws, duvet covers, and poufs.
My prints are quirky, yet modern and fun, mostly silhouettes, speckles, triangles, deer heads, pineapples, fox heads, etc. as well wording such as - "you are my sunshine" and "good morning gorgeous".
The colours include black, white, grey, gold, and rose gold. Please help!

24 Hours In: Frankfurt, Germany
Hotel Manhattan, Frankfurt
Dusseldorfer Ztr. 10, 60329
Frankfurt am Main
Population: 736K.
Post Updated 2020.
How To Spend 24 Hours In Frankfurt, Germany
Frankfurt is known as the financial hub of Germany and is home to many global business head quarters situated in impressive skyscrapers. However, there are so many things to do in Frankfurt other than just business people in suits; Romerberg is a traditional area of the city boasting half timbered traditional German architecture and the Main Tower is a must do when visiting this beautiful city.
In this post, I will guide you through the best way to spend 24 Hours in Frankfurt from London Stanstead. For more destinations in my 24 Hours In series click here.
Hotel Manhattan, Frankfurt
I booked this package on lastminute.com this time, and this hotel was the most reasonably priced and the photos looked great. The total cost for this 24 hour break was £186 for two of us, including return flights to Stanstead. Bargain.
The hotel includes breakfast, which is a continental style and includes your usual breads, pretzels, jams and fruit plus tea, coffee and fruit juices.
The hotel was located on a sketchy street however, there is a big homeless person problem in Frankfurt and the street our hotel was on seemed to be the local hangout. Although we didn't experience any trouble, it was intimidating to say the least. However, the location of this hotel was perfect; right opposite the Central trainstation and transport hub it was slap-bang in the centre of Frankfurt city which meant everything was accessible on foot.
24 Hour Itinerary - Things To Do In Frankfurt
Our day started at 4am, which is always the case on a fleeting trip into Europe from the UK. We did the two hour drive from our home to Stanstead Airport and continued to get through airport security and wait for the Ryanair flight to Frankfurt. The flight is a menial 1 hour and 5 minutes so no sooner are you in the air are you coming in to land. You can read my experience of flying with Ryanair here.
Upon arrival into a new city, we usually check out the local transport to get us to near our hotel for check-in. However, Frankfurt airport is absolutely massive, the best option (and easiest) was to grab a taxi straight to our gaff. This cost 40EUR for 6km! What a rip off.
Once we had dropped off our bags at the hotel, we proceeded to grab the hop-on-hop-off bus and do a tour of the city, to which after one lap we would choose which stops were of interest and jump off to explore that area. Frankfurt is not a massive city unlike Amsterdam, so the tour only took around 40 minutes which covered all the main tourist spots plus a drive through the old town too.
Our first stop was the Eisener Steg (English: iron footbridge). This footbidge connects the two sides of the city across the river Main. It was unfortnately blown up during WWII, rebuilt in 1946 and fully resorted in 1993. From here you have amazing views of the river bank which is lined with cutesy bars and resturants and when the weather is nice and sunny, this is a hotspot for both locals and tourists to hang out.
From here, we walked straight into Romerberg. Here is a square which hosts the famous Christmas Markets, and is lined with half timbered buildings, just how you would imagine German architecture to be. It is beautiful but a real tourist hotspot in Frankfurt, so expect some crowds. Deffo a good place to get some nice pics for the 'gram.
After wandering through Romerberg, we had worked up an appetite and was craving some good ol' German sausage. We came across a 'hole-in-the-wall' type restaurant with an outside seating area and dived straight in to the Currywurst. If you are visiting Germany, add this to you list of 'must-eats' - you will not regret it, I promise! :-)
We continued to walk down the main high street and take in the views.
Next, we headed to the Main Tower. This is Frankfurts' most famous view point and boasts a 200m high platform which is perfect for gaining a 360 panoramic view of the city. If you are a bit wobbly over heights, there are plenty of rails and one side of the viewing platform is completely covered so you will be safely hidden behind the glass whilst still taking in the breath taking views. It was 10EUR entry but it was so worth it. The hop-on-hop-off bus stops right outside the Main tower so if walking isn't your thing you can just grab the bus. We took the bus back to the hotel after this stop at around 5:30pm.
In the evening, we walked back down the main strip from our hotel and ate a very untraditional german meal of burgers and chips. Sometimes, you've just got to do what you've got to do.
The next day, we had a morning to continue our exploring. We walked from our hotel down to the Senkenberg Museum, otherwise known as the dinosaur museum. It is a natural history museum with a focus on biodiversity, zoology and geology, which is right up my street. Even if it's not up your street though, it is well worth a visit just to have a gawp at some of the amazing models and dinousaur fossils they have on display here. It took us a good two hours to get around the entire museum, it's pretty massive, and was 10EUR to enter.
The End of Our 24 Hours In Frankfurt
After the musuem visit, unfortunately it was time to travel home. With the flight only being so short (I think 50 minutes on the way back to the UK) it allowed us more time to have a steady morning on the Sunday, normally we are up and having a second early morning to get back to the airport. Germany is a great country to explore over numerous 24 hour breaks for this reason.
I would highy recommend Frankfurt as an introduction to Germany, although places such as Munich, Berlin and Hamburg seem to be the more popular choice. If you are looking for a city break that is on a smaller scale than Berlin, Frankfurt is the place for you. Ryanair do extremely low cost flights to and from Frankfurt International Airport daily, feel free to contact me if you need anymore advice or guidance when booking a 24 hour break from the UK - I would be more than happy to help you!

I have been to Germany, but never Frankfurt. It is on my list for my next trip to Europe!
14/5/2019 08:12:33 pm
I always get to see a glimpse of Frankfurt from the sky whenever I have a layover there. Your post inspires me to apply for a visa and visit the city even for a day. Thanks for sharing the post.
15/5/2019 10:45:25 am
This is a really nice review of the city. I went there a few years ago on my very first trip. I can't remember much except for the zoo. Although I think that was a fair walk from the centre.
15/5/2019 11:45:59 am
Nice post. Very good quick review but I would have liked a few more specifics. Where do you catch the hop on hop off bus and how much it cost. Where you ate, etc.
18/5/2019 10:48:08 pm
Omg! I just came back from a month of travel and have been thinking of adding Frankfurt to my next euro vacay! Soooo beautiful

Nice post. I just discovered your weblog and wished to state that I ave truly delighted in perusing your blog entries

"We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths." - Walt Disney
Trying new things is mostly fun (unless you are trying bizarre whacky, maniac, outlandish stuff). And it has many benefits too. You get to learn something new, expand your thinking horizon and as James Altucher says, it helps exercising your creative muscle.
When I ordered OnePlus 6 on very first day of launch, I had made up mind that I will be creating a proper unbox video of the phone. And I am really happy that I kept the promise made to myself.

Mary J. Blige's special Tidal concert will take place at the Statue of Liberty
TIDAL is still going hard with the exclusives, announcing a brand new members-only event today. Much like Jay Z's B-Sides concert from a few weeks back, Mary J. Blige will be doing a special performance only accessible to TIDAL subscribers, but this one has a twist.
Rather than doing the show at a venue, or a conventional outdoor location like Times Square, Mary will be rocking the crowd outside the Statue of Liberty. This is said to be part of the "Made In America Presents the Monument Series".
If this means we're gonna see Kanye West perform on top of the pyramids or some shit, we're definitely all for it.
TIDAL users can apply for tickets here, and stream the show June 21st at 9 PM.

Many professionals have dreamed of having this type of awareness bracelet for years to help people with hair pulling, nail biting, and other similar behaviors. It also has huge potential for future research.
Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) May 17, 2016
Today HabitAware launched a pre-order campaign for its flagship product - a smart bracelet called Liv, that is aimed at managing Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs) like hair pulling disorder (trichotillomania), nail biting (onychophagia), skin picking (excoriation disorder, previously dermatillomania), and thumb-sucking. It is now available for pre-orders on their website for $99. Two percent of pre-order sales during the first 60 days will be donated to the TLC Foundation for Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors in support of further research and education.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has been the gold standard for treating these disorders. It involves habit tracking via journalling to identify and analyze patterns and triggers. Liv is the first successful device to help automate this process.
"Liv uses sophisticated sensors to record the behavior patterns of the user," said HabitAware Co-Founder Sameer Kumar. "It identifies these unhealthy behaviors and alerts you when you're doing them. It's also able to distinguish between similar movements - for example, pulling hair from your scalp versus taking a sip of coffee."
Among the other distinguishing features of Liv, it:
- Offers real-time awareness: It's designed to keep users alert to the positioning of their hands, when they aren't paying attention. The app provides visualization of a user's behavior, helping them track progress and identify triggers. Liv can also send a text message when a high-stress time is approaching.
- Suggests positive strategies: Liv provides timely strategies so that individuals can replace the body focused repetitive behavior with a healthier one.
- Is discrete: It looks just like a fitness activity tracker and subtly vibrates when users perform an undesired motion.
- Is perfect for adults and kids: It comes in both a child and adult size and is water resistant.
The inspiration to create Liv is deeply personal. Co-Founder Aneela Kumar has trichotillomania and has been pulling out the hair from her eyebrows and eyelashes for the past 20 years.
"For most of that time, I thought I was the only one who did that," she said. "Three years into my marriage to Sameer, I finally shared my secret with him, and we set out to solve my trich together. Liv has helped me so much in just a few months and has given my hair time to regrow. I'm convinced it has the power to help others as well."
The HabitAware team is composed of experts in the areas of electrical engineering, mobile app design, and software/firmware engineering. Their advisory board includes Dr. Carol Novak, Founding Director of the Scientific Advisory Board of the TLC Foundation for BFRBs.
"This technology is a breakthrough. Many professionals have dreamed of having this type of awareness bracelet for years to help people with hair pulling, nail biting, and other similar behaviors. It also has huge potential for future research." said Dr. Novak.
Media wishing to demo Liv or interview HabitAware personnel should contact PR agent, Jackson Wightman at (514) 605 9255.

Can I Clip Off Dead Leaves From an Indoor Plant?
It's not unusual or cause for concern when a few of the older, lower leaves of some types of houseplants die. When this happens it's best to remove the dead leaves. Removing dead leaves keeps your plant looking neat and may improve the health of the plant and reduce the chances of disease or insect infestations.
Removing Leaves
In many cases, dead leaves come loose from a plant with a slight tug. If they don't come away easily, clip the leaf off near the main stem with a clean pair of scissors or plant shears. Don't leave dead leaves on the soil. While it may seem like a good way to return nutrients to the potting soil, many houseplant diseases and insects live in dead matter left on the soil. If only the tips of the leaves turn brown and dry up, try trimming off the tips with a pair or scissors. Spray the blades of the scissors or shears with household disinfectant to prevent the spread of plant diseases.

Giotto's Bell Tower in Florence is about 85 meters high, 15 wide and is one of the largest examples of Florentine Gothic of the 13th Century. Giotto's Bell Tower is covered with white, red and green marble like the ones that adorn the Cathedral of "Santa Maria del Fiore".
The construction of the tower was begun in 1334, when Giotto was appointed foreman of the factory of the Cathedral, putting aside the church, he turned his attention to this new architectural element. After his death in 1337, the project was continued by Andrea Pisano, who ended the first two floors respecting the plan of Giotto; the Bell Tower was then embellished with the external decorations thanks to the intervention of Alberto Arnoldi. The works were then interrupted for two years (1348-1350).
Giotto's Bell Tower was completed in 1359 (after the years of the plague in Florence) by Francesco Talenti, who completed the work by building a large terrace, which is the panoramic roof, reachable via more than 400 steps and gave it the look that appears nowadays.
The structure, slender and elegant, has a square plan with angular buttresses, shaped polygonal columns that rise up to the top, and is horizontally divided by frames that delimit five superimposed levels. The first level, with the "cuspidata" door, is realized by Giotto. Andrea Pisano then led the construction of the tower up to the third ledge, respecting Giotto's project. The three successive levels have been designed and built by Talenti: here the bands no longer present sculptural decorations but are adorned with mullioned windows, creating an impression of lightness and despite the variety of interventions, the Bell Tower appears a unitary structure coated with colored marble and slender angular buttresses.

This free Sunkist Lemonade Stand kit comes with information on starting a lemonade stand as well as a manual hand juicer that kids can use to squeeze out all that lemony goodness. This is intended only for kids aged 7-12, but I'm posting it anyways because it brings back old memories from my past. More specifically, of setting up lemonade (and Kool Aid) stands every summer, somehow screwing up when it came time to mix in the sugar, and thus never selling a single cup of my ultra-bitter beverage. Ah, those were the days. That must be where my entrepreneurial spirit comes from, as well as my complete and utter lack of business sense!

Terreno Buys Industrial Building in Capitol Heights for $18.1M
- By
- May 19, 2014
By Adrian Maties, Associate Editor
Terreno Realty Corp. continues to add new properties to its suburban Maryland portfolio. In a transaction that closed on May 13, the San Francisco-based company acquired another industrial building. The purchase price was approximately $18.1 million.
The property is located on 7.7 acres of land at 1000 Hampton Park Blvd. in Capitol Heights, Md., about four miles east of Washington, D.C. It consists of one industrial distribution building with about 139,000 square feet of space, 18 dock-high and two grade-level loading positions and parking for 210 cars. According to Terreno, at the time of the sale, the property was 100 percent leased to one tenant. The estimated stabilized cap rate is 6.4 percent.
Terreno is making a habit out of buying industrial properties in Maryland. The company has already spent important sums of money to acquire several properties in the area. Last June, it paid $16.7 million to purchase a 349,000-square-foot, two-building property in Elkridge. At the start of December, it paid $5.6 million for a light-industrial building in Prince George's County. And just days after that it closed another deal, buying a 71,000-square-foot property in Landover for $7 million.
Terreno invests in six major coastal U.S. markets. In the Washington, D.C.-Baltimore area, it currently own 12 industrial buildings with more than 1.3 million square feet of space and an occupancy of over 90 percent.
According to CBRE, the industrial market in suburban Maryland experienced little growth during the first quarter of the year, as both warehouse and flex products saw sluggish demand. The overall industrial vacancy rate remained flat at 12.1 percent, while the overall asking rental rate increased marginally to $8.28 per square foot. The highest asking rates are found in Montgomery County ($9.50 per square foot), Frederick County ($8.84 per square foot) and Prince George's County ($7.46 per square foot).

1978 Ford F-100THE STORY
I have for auction this very nice 1978 Ford Ranger F-100 XLT. The story goes like this. I have been passing this truck to and from work for just about a year now, and I was tired of watching this truck go to waste in a gentleman's drive way. It took me a few days but I convinced the gentlemen to sell it to me. He told me it was his sisters truck and she purchased it from the original owner in South Carolina. He also said the engine has a small knock when he last started it about two years ago. To me it didn't matter because it was in such great condition, and i wanted to get it to somebody that was willing to put her back on the road. This is a great starter truck for anybody that wants a project, hot rod, rat rod, full restore or what ever. There is minimal rust and the under carriage is in great condition, not to mention its a short bed. After I dragged the truck home I drained all the fuel, cleaned the carb, and she fired right up! So here is what I have found out.
-minimal rust
-runs and drives
-its all there
-not sure if it works but its an A/C truck
-lights all work
-awesome foundation to start with, not full of rust, bondo and all that crap
-interior is decent
-Its been sitting for 2 years and old cars hate to sit. So you know it all needs to be gone through, fluids grease ect.... So basically she needs love!
-needs a tune up
-brakes are hanging up, (again from sitting)
-like I said the gentleman told me the engine knocks after it warms up, just to be clear. I notice it when I rev it up but sounds like timing or bad gas to me. Not really sure but I want everybody to be in the loop about it.
-not original paint
-has some dings and dents
-the passenger door panel needs to be replaced
I don't want to bash it any more, it is what it is, but if you have questions i will answer them all. Happy Bidding

ObamaCare's Hotel California
The state moves to impose price controls you can never leave.
California, the novelist Wallace Stegner famously wrote, is like the rest of America, only more so—meaning that wherever the country is headed, the Golden State is probably there already. So the state's ObamaCare advance planning deserves closer scrutiny, given that it mirrors the regulatory and ideological model that the White House favors for everyone else.
In a matter of days, California will set a precedent for the future of the U.S. individual and small-business insurance markets via ObamaCare's...

About half a million healthy women with a family history of breast cancer should be offered a five-year course of drugs to help prevent the disease under new NHS guidance published on Tuesday.
When the actor Angelina Jolie and celebrity Sharon Osbourne discovered they carried genes which gave them a very high risk of breast cancer, both opted for a double mastectomy. Jolie reduced her chances of cancer from 87% to under 5%.
But for the many women who would not want to undergo surgery, especially if their own risk is not quite as high as Jolie's was, a daily pill is now an option.
Two anti-oestrogen drugs, tamoxifen, which is used to prevent cancer recurring in women who have had the disease, and raloxifene, which is used to treat post-menopausal women with brittle bones, have been found in studies to reduce the risk of breast cancer by 30% to 40%. Neither is licensed for this preventative use in Britain, but they are in the United States.
The guidance from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) says that the NHS should offer the drugs to all women with a three in 10 chance of developing cancer and consider them for those with more than a one in six chance.
More genetic screening will take place – although not for everybody. Anyone who has a 10% risk of having inherited one of the two genes that give women a particularly high chance of breast cancer, BRCA1 and BRCA2, will be offered a blood test. At the moment, only those with a 20% risk get screened.
Women will no longer have to know somebody in their family with cancer caused by one of the genes to get a test – some women have been denied screening in the past because cancer had killed their grandmother, mother and aunts before testing was available.
Nice found it would be cost effective to screen even more women, but decided the NHS did not yet have the capacity to do it.
Maggie Alexander, chair of the Nice guidelines development group, said the publication was "a significant milestone for the very many thousands of women who have a family history of breast cancer".
Dr Caitlin Palframan, from Breakthrough Breast Cancer, also on the guidelines group, called it "a game changer … these new guidelines are a fantastic leap forward in the way we prevent breast cancer developing in those at highest risk".
Lady Delyth Morgan, chief executive of Breast Cancer Campaign, said: "This is a truly historic moment in the treatment of women at increased risk of breast cancer, as we are witnessing a fundamental change of clinical practice driven by medical research."Around 50,000 women and 400 men are diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK every year. One in five of those diagnosed have family members who have developed breast, ovarian or prostate cancer, which are all genetically linked.
Drug treatment to prevent breast cancer is highly cost-effective. Tamoxifen is a 50-year-old British drug which is long out of patent and costs about £25 a year. Professor Gareth Evans, consultant in clinical genetics at St Mary's hospital in Manchester and another member of the guidelines group, said it was a miniscule amount compared with the many thousands of pounds that breast cancer treatment costs. Raloxifene is slightly more expensive and not quite as effective, but does not carry tamoxifen's slight increased risk of cancer of the lining of the womb.
Drugs to prevent cancer have long been a dream, but it remains to be seen how many women will take up the NHS offer. The side-effects of the treatment, which blocks the hormone oestrogen, involve menopausal symptoms, such as hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings, nausea and weight gain.
"Usually the symptoms wear off after about six months," said Evans. "Most of the women who get past six months take the drugs for the full five years."
An ongoing study in Manchester has offered tamoxifen to high risk pre-menopausal women and found about one in eight (12%) chose to take it. But there was relatively high adherence – 80% continued taking it longer than a year.
"BRCA1 and BRCA2 carriers have a risk of maybe 80%-90% in their lifetime," added Evans, commenting on Jolie's decision. "They find that is difficult to live with. Even reducing that risk by 35%-40% may not be enough for them."
In the future, it is possible that more women could be offered the drugs. Most women at high genetic risk are younger, but as other women go through the menopause and especially if they put on weight, their risk can increase. Post-menopausal women produce more oestrogen from fatty tissue and their adrenal glands.
There are other options for reducing breast cancer risk, however, which do not involve drugs, including weight loss and exercise.
The guideline also recommends annual MRI screening for women under 50 who have had breast cancer – including those with BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutations – and remain at high risk of the disease returning.
• This article was amended on 25 June 2013. The word "preventative" was added in the fourth paragraph to clarify that while tamoxifen and raloxifene are licensed for use in Britain, it is their use to prevent breast cancer that is the subject of new Nice guidelines.

A volunteer feeding assistance program can improve dietary intakes of elderly patients – A Pilot Study
Publication Details
This article was originally published as Walton, K et al, A volunteer feeding assistance program can improve dietary intakes of elderly patients – A Pilot Study, Appetite, 51(2), 2008, 244-248.
Malnutrition is prevalent in elderly hospitalised patients and has been associated with longer lengths of stay (LOS), higher rates of complications and increased hospital costs. Feeding assistance has traditionally been the role of nurses, however with an ageing population and an ever-increasing workload there may not be sufficient time to ensure the nutritional care of all patients. A program in which trained volunteers assist, socialise and feed nutritionally vulnerable patients at lunch on weekdays has been initiated in a major suburban hospital in Sydney. The pilot study reported here aimed to evaluate the lunchtime assistance program in terms of dietary intakes by comparing data from weekdays (with volunteers) and that from weekends (no volunteers). Nine patients (mean age+(SD): 89±4.6 years) participated in the study. Observations and weighed plate waste were recorded for each patient at lunch on two weekdays and two weekend days. When volunteers were present, the average protein intake increased by 10.1 g at lunch (p<0.05) and 10.7g over the whole day (p<0.05). There was also a trend to increased energy intake. Observations indicated that the volunteers, when compared to the nurses, socialised more with patients, encouraged them to eat more often and spent more time feeding them. Trialing volunteer assistance in a larger study would be useful.

Central Valley
The heart of Costa Rica, the Central Valley, boasts a nearly perfect climate, excellent museums, drive-up volcanoes and fertile hillsides dotted with coffee plantations.
Within this fertile temperate valley live most of the country's people. The Capital city of San Jose (largest city in Costa Rica), is located in the center of the country in a valley surrounded by untouched cloud forests at an altitude of 2,900′ feet above sea level, giving it an idyllic climate with temperatures that vary from the mid-70's F during the day to about 60 degrees F at night. A bustling city nestled within a tropical paradise. San Jose acts as a hub to the rest of the country. The airport is located 20-30 minutes outside of downtown San Jose.
San Jose offers visitors a wide variety of activities and a thriving nightlife with its many discos, bars, casinos, fine restaurants, shops, and some very impressive museums sprinkled throughout the city. In the Plaza de la Cultura (Culture Square) a fantastic collection of pre-Colombian gold artifacts gleam inside the enormous vault of the Gold Museum. To one side of the Plaza is the beautiful National Theater, a national pride and architectural jewel. A few blocks away, on the 11th floor of the National Insurance Building (INS), is the Jade Museum, with the largest collection of pre-Colombian jade in the Americas.
Topping the list, literally, of things to do around San Jose are the drive-up volcanoes: Poás and Irazú, towering 8,870 and 11,260 feet, respectively, above sea level.
Among the lovely towns of the Central Valley, one of the most popular is Sarchí. Long at the center of Costa Rica 's oxcart production and more recently, home to a thriving crafts industry, Sarchí attracts visitors looking for local handcrafts and souvenirs.
You can get to any part of the country from San Jose and if traveling from one part of the country to another there is a very good chance that you will stop at some point in San Jose (everything of interest is within a three-hour drive of San José).
CRS Tours designs vacation packages that cater to your specific needs. If you are looking for a Costa Rica family package, please visit our Costa Rica Family Vacation Packages section.

Lissa Weekends
Sat 6a-10a
Melissa "Lissa" Krahnke is a radio DJ/musician, originally from Michigan. Living in Scranton and doing the morning show with Rocky since 2010, Lissa never intended to be a DJ but guested on a radio show with her rock band one morning and the station offered her a job the next day. That was 13 years ago! Lissa continues to perform music (piano & vocals) around Northeast PA & New York (look for gigs on this website). When not performing or working, she's running, hanging with her niece & nephew, or hiking in nature happily without a phone. She hopes to retire as a hermit someday in a backwoods cabin with nothing but a grand piano and some books. If you think she's kidding, ask her.

Skip to 0 minutes and 6 seconds Welcome to week four. In this week, we'll look at covariance functions, what covariance functions are, what types of covariance functions exist, and how we can use them for shape modelling.
Skip to 0 minutes and 22 seconds By now, you all know how to define a Gaussian Process. We define a Gaussian Process by specifying a mean function and a covariance function. The covariance function is also often referred to as a kernel function. The mean function defines how the average deformation looks like. The covariance function, in turn, defines how the typical deformation deviates from this mean. We have already seen an example how we can define a mean and a covariance function. What we did is, we took example data sets and then estimated the mean and covariance function from the example data. What we would like to discuss now is how can we specify a Gaussian Process when we don't have data sets available?
Skip to 1 minute and 17 seconds If we don't have any data, than the mean function is usually quite uninteresting. So, we would need to specify how does a typical deformation deviate from the mean? But, if we don't have any prior knowledge about that, it's usually difficult to specify that. So, if we can assume that the reference shape that we're choosing is kind of average, then we just say the average deformation is just a zero deformation.
Skip to 1 minute and 53 seconds The covariance function is much more interesting. It defines the characteristics of the deformation fields. While in general, it is very difficult for different shapes to find common characteristics, there is at least one assumption that holds for pretty much all the shapes that we want to model. And this assumption is that deformation fields are smooth. What this means is that neighbouring points should have somehow similar deformations, so there is no folding or overlapping of different deformations.
Skip to 2 minutes and 31 seconds On top of that, there is also a mathematical requirement that a covariance function has to fulfil. And this is the covariance function should be a symmetric, positive, definite kernel. So, symmetric means that k of x, x prime, is the same as k of x prime x, so I can just interchange the two arguments. What does it mean to be positive semi-definite? You might be familiar with the concept of a positive semi-definite matrix.
Skip to 3 minutes and 6 seconds A positive semi-definite matrix is just a matrix for which it holds that if I take an arbitrary vector v and then multiply the matrix with this v transposed and then times v, so I have this quadratic form that I form, then independently of which vector v I choose, the result should always be greater or equal to zero. This is the property of positive semi-definiteness of matrixes.
Skip to 3 minutes and 40 seconds Now, a positive semi-definite kernel is very closely related.
Skip to 3 minutes and 46 seconds We say a kernel is positive semi-definite if, when we discretise the kernel, so when we evaluate it on a finite number of points as we always did when we go from the continuous to the discrete representation, so I just choose a number of points x and then evaluate my kernel function and build the covariance matrix out of it, then this matrix has to be positive semi-definite independently of which point that I choose. And this is actually a very reasonable requirement, because this just ensures that the normal distribution that I get when I discretise is actually a valid, normal distribution.
Skip to 4 minutes and 34 seconds Because if you remember, the covariance matrix that a valid covariance matrix for a multivariate normal distribution, needs to be symmetric and positive definite.
Skip to 4 minutes and 47 seconds Let us look at an example of a covariance function. The most classical kernel or covariance function that is used everywhere in the literature is called the Gaussian kernel. The Gaussian kernel is what is called a scalar valued kernel. So for us, when we're modeling vector fields, what we need is a matrix valued kernel. Because remember, the kernel or covariance function, it tells us how are the two function values at the point x and x prime, how are they correlated? If our function values are vectors, then we have two components and to describe the correlation, we need a 2 times 2 matrix.
Skip to 5 minutes and 33 seconds But if we would only have real functions that we want to model, then it would be enough just to get one scalar value for describing this correlation. And so, one example of such a scalar value kernel is a Gaussian kernel. The Gaussian kernel is defined by this function here. And the main part is just the formula e to the power minus, then the distance between the two input points, divided by this parameter sigma. What it means is the closer the points are together, the higher is the function value, just as shown here in this plot. So, it's this typical bell curve. We observe that if the points are far apart, then it goes to zero.
Skip to 6 minutes and 28 seconds Which means points that are far apart, they don't correlate anymore. So, the shape differs if I increase my parameter sigma, then I get correlations over a wider range of points. The parameter s somehow tells us something about how much variance I will be modelling. It's somehow the amplitude of this bell curve. So, we see here if we increase the function values, then we have a higher amplitude of that curve, which translates to a higher variance in the process at the end.
Skip to 7 minutes and 9 seconds Now we've started with scalar valued covariance function. And from the scalar valued covariance function, we can build the matrix valued covariance functions we need for modelling the information fields. The simplest such construction is to use a diagonal kernel. Assume we're given d different scalar valued kernels and d here is just the dimensionality of the deformation field we want to model. So in our case, it would just be two, when we are working in 2D. So, this thing here would be a 2 times 2 matrix, and I would just have two scalar valued kernels on the diagonals. And all the other entries would be zero.
Skip to 7 minutes and 58 seconds What this means is that the zero mean, I'm actually modelling each dimension independently, so there is no correlation between the x and the y component of a vector. Now, our original goal was that we kind of wanted to model smooth deformation fields. We are now in a position where we can do that. So we take a Gaussian kernel and we take this diagonal approach to construct out of the scalar valued Gaussian kernel, the matrix valued covariance function, by simply adding here on the diagonals the different Gaussian kernels. And now let's look at some examples how this looks like. What I have shown here are different samples from a Gaussian Process that was constructed an that way.
Skip to 8 minutes and 56 seconds The first thing we observe is that while before I always showed deformation only on the contour of the hand, here I show it in the region around the hand. And this is because these type of covariance functions, they are defined in the whole real space. So, I can also sample from it everywhere, if I want to. The first example that we see is where we have chosen both the scale factor s1 and s2 large and sigma 1 and sigma 2 for both components. We see that we have kind of nice, smooth components. So, kind of all the vectors there moving smoothly in this image.
Skip to 9 minutes and 43 seconds Now. If we choose s1, s2 small, then what we'll see is that all of the vectors on that image are actually small, so we don't have much variation that we model or no big components that we model.
Skip to 10 minutes and 2 seconds We could choose s1 small. So, the first component has almost no variance while the second component has a lot of variance. We see two samples of such a vector field here. What we observe is that we have now a dominant direction. So, most arrows actually go now in y direction. And also in the second sample here, we see here the dominant direction.
Skip to 10 minutes and 34 seconds If you would choose s1 and s2 larger again, but sigma– so the kind of smoothness parameter– smaller, then we would get deformation fields that are very wild and wiggly.
Skip to 10 minutes and 49 seconds Now, the nice thing about Gaussian Process modelling with Gaussian Processes is that we can actually do much more than simply defining diagonal kernels. We can really model these different kernels. There are rules that this semi-definite kernels need to obey such that they are still remain positive definite, but there is kind of an entire algebra that I can use to build new kernels based off existing kernels. Once such example is that I can take the sum of two positive semi-definite kernels, and it remains a positive semi-definite kernel. The interpretation of that is that two function values are correlated if they're correlated in one kernel g or the second kernel h. So I can express this kind of 'or' relationships.
Skip to 11 minutes and 49 seconds And the sum of two kernels is actually ideal for defining deformations that live on multiple scales. So for example, if I want to model deformations like tiny deformations which have the small scale, kind of high frequency, together with large deformations, which are very smooth. And these type of models are useful for shape modelling. I have a second possibility. I can also multiply two kernels together. And this is not an 'or' relationship anymore. This is now an 'and' relationship. The function values that I obtain in the new kernel, they're only correlated if they're correlated in the kernel g and the kernel h. And this is especially good for localising correlation.
Skip to 12 minutes and 48 seconds So, what I could just choose one of the two kernels to be kind of local, such that the correlation value is zero on the large area. And this would effectively annihilate all the correlations that I have. So, I can kind of model local effects here. There are many other rules that I can use for combining kernels. And we can really think of that Gaussian Process gives us a language for modelling. And we will explore such interesting models that come from combining different kernels in the following article.
Covariance functions
Using a Gaussian Process model to model the shape variations within a shape family, we have two parameters to characterise what constitutes a likely shape: the mean function and the covariance function.
In this video we discuss the mathematical properties of a valid covariance function and show how we can define interesting covariance functions for modelling shapes, even when we have no example shapes available to learn the covariance function from data. This knowledge will greatly enhance our modelling ability and allows us to overcome limitations of classical shape models.

Residential school survivors in a Saskatchewan community took part in a "symbolic demolition" of the building that they were forced to attend for so many years.
Indigenous and Northern Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett was present at the event in Île-à-la-Crosse in northern Saskatchewan. She held a sledgehammer first before inviting two former students to join her.
A Facebook video posted by the village last week shows the two survivors named Angus and Violet, taking the sledgehammer and striking a wall of the school.
You can watch the video embedded above.
"Knock it all down," someone is heard saying, as the pair hits the building and the crowd starts applauding.
The school closed down in the mid-1980s, according to CTV.
From the 1880s until the last school shut down in 1996, Canada's residential school system forced about 150,000 First Nations, Inuit and Metis children to attend church-run facilities that aimed to "take the Indian out of the child."
The students faced widespread neglect and abuse in the schools, which was examined by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. It released a report with 94 broad recommendations earlier this year, which the Liberal government has promised to act on.

- About Us
- Outreach
- Teacher Center
- Student Center
- E-store
Students will identify the source of the food they eat and investigate the processes and people involved in getting food from the farm to their spoon.
Activity 1: Food/Farm Connection
Activity 2: Where Does Your Food Come From?
Activity 3: Graphing Activity
edible: safe to be eaten as food
nutritious: having a large amount of vitamins, minerals, or other nutrients
preserve: to prepare (food) so that it can be kept for a long period of time
processing: to change a raw product, such as food, to make it into a different type of product
When asked where their food comes from, many students will say that it comes from a grocery store or restaurant. Young children don't always make the connection between agriculture and the food they consume every day.
One US farm produces enough food to feed 165 people worldwide, but farmers are not the only workers involved in making food available to the consumer.4 Agriculture employs more than 21 million American workers.5 These jobs include harvesting, storing, transporting, processing, packaging, and selling the food we eat. Farms are the source of almost all the food we consume. It is important for students to understand that grocery stores are food distribution centers, not the source of food.
Some of the food we eat everyday is grown in our own communities, but not all of the food we consume is grown locally. While most states produce their own milk, eggs, fruits, vegetables, and grains, the availability of certain foods depends upon season. The climate and soil of a particular region determines the types of foods that can be grown. Consumer demands influence the items that stores and restaurants offer. Many people want to be able to eat fresh fruits and vegetables in the middle of the winter or out of season. Exotic foods, such as star fruit, kiwi, and guava that are not grown in many areas of the United States are also desired. Grocery stores meet these demands by having food transported from other regions of the United States and even from other countries.
The activities in this lesson will help provide students with an understanding about where their food comes from and what it takes to produce their food. It will also promote a natural curiosity about how food affects their health while reinforcing food and agriculture as their connection to a better quality of life. Understanding what it takes to produce food will help students make the association between the land, farmers and ranchers, and the grocery store.
