I don't usually buy designer clothing. Owning something so expensive that could be ripped or tarnished easily is quite scary for me. You'll understand why I feel that way after reading today's post.
However, designer clothing is not the main focus of my point. It is actually CUSTOMER SERVICE.
Understanding customer service is vital in any business or organization. It surprises me that so many business owners DON'T understand the importance of good customer service.
Today I will share two stories. The first one is an example of bad customer service. The second story will be the contrasting example of what I believe is excellent customer service. I invite you to share your own experiences at the end of my post.
Customer Service Disconnect
My favorite smoothie is called "The Blueberry Blast". I was hurrying to a meeting one afternoon, when the craving for a Blueberry Blast hit me. Oh, the joy when I realized Emerald City Smoothie was on my way. (No relation to my business, Emerald City Consulting, by the way)
Rushing into the store with only minutes to spare, I was happy to discover that I could approach the order counter immediately. In the 60 seconds it took me to place my order and pay for my smoothie, another customer had come in – a woman on her cell phone.
I stepped aside to the counter reserved for order pick up. I anxiously awaited the blast of blueberries that would soon be on my tongue.
Now, here's the thing – I'm sure it's more time efficient for the young lady making the smoothies to prepare a few smoothies at a time. A little strawberry in this one, some mango here, then add the protein powder, turn on both blenders, voila! Two smoothies done in the time it takes to make one.
I'm all about using time efficiently – which is why I was so proud of myself for finding the time to stop by and grab a smoothie on my way to my intended meeting venue. But I was about to enter the twilight zone of bad customer service……
The bright young girl behind the smoothie counter had indeed been taught the time-efficient-smoothie-making-protocol because she turned to the lady behind me to take her order before beginning to prepare my blueberry blast. Did I mention this lady was ON her cellphone?
"Do you want a banana in it?" she was saying to the person on the other end of the call. "Yes, they can add that if you want it………I didn't know you were allergic to that. What happens?……..seriously?" [laughter]
Now. I'm watching this young lady – the one who has my smoothie future in her hands – and she's obviously confused about what to do. She can see that banana lady is otherwise engaged, but when she starts to head toward me with what I think may be her intention to make my smoothie, the phone lady asks her a question.
"Do you have soy milk? Can I have a smoothie with soy milk?" She only allows time for the order-taker to nod her head, then she asks the person on the other end of the call, "What size do you want?"
As the banana lady begins to list for the caller the smoothie sizes available, the young lady and I make eye contact. I say, "Can you please just get mine made?"
As the smoothie girl begins to walk toward me the banana lady says, "Okay, I'm ready to place my order for two smoothies." Smoothie girls turns back to the order counter, while giving me a look that says, "I'm afraid of banana lady".
Banana lady now becomes high-maintenance lady as she lists the ingredients she wants, as well as the ones she can't have, in the two smoothies. Then she takes out her wallet and begins to count bills and change in order to pay the exact amount.
I am watching the time tick away, and begin to realize that I needed to be on the road with my smoothie about 3 minutes prior in order to be punctual to my meeting. High-maintenance lady has taken at least 5 minutes of my allotted time, and my smoothie hasn't even been started yet. If I had not already paid for my smoothie, I would have left. (And honestly, I considered leaving anyway)
I was ready to take this girl aside and give her a lesson on customer service, but banana-high-maintenance-lady seemed just unstable enough that I thought better of it. I was little afraid of her too, but mostly I was ANGRY!
For the next minute or two, banana lady continued her call, talking loudly about Aunt Catherine and how her arthritis is getting the best of her. When my blueberry blast was finally handed to me, I said to the smoothie girl, "you could use some training on customer service."
What do you think smoothie girl should have done to provide better service?
Well-Made and Well-Served
Caesar's Palace, Las Vegas: a wonderland of high-end shopping opportunities. For the rich, it's a walk in the park; for the not-so-rich, it's a walk in the marque. Designer shops, designer labels, opulence and wealth – all of it can make the simple man or woman a little queasy. I am there with my daughter, her husband, and my husband. We are "window shopping"
Nanette Lepore, the sign says. The dress in the window is fabulous. My daughter and I walk in to the store. The prices are as expected in Caesar's Palace, but there is a clearance rack. I LOVE clearance racks!
I see this skirt…….
Beautiful, isn't it? So unique. So well made. So expensive. It's on the clearance rack for $200. I feel a little queasy. I'm simple, you see. Designer clothing is not important to me.
My daughter says, "Mom, you should try that on".
I think, "why?"
My daughter is holding an article of clothing in her hand, and she says, "I'm going to try this on. That skirt is really cute. C'mon".
We head to the dressing rooms and I try on this gorgeous skirt. It fits beautifully. I mean, it is very complimentary to my frame, and it fits my style. It is so unique. So well made. So expensive. My thoughts begin to repeat themselves. The queasiness is still there.
I walk out with the skirt in hand. My daughter decides not to get what she tried on, but my husband asks me, "How did it look?"
I say, "It fits perfectly. So unique. So well made."
"How much is it?" he asks.
"It's on clearance for $200." I answer while hanging it back on the rack.
My husband then surprises me, "You should get it. We're in Las Vegas. If you really like it, you should get it."
My first experience buying designer clothing in the actual designer's store. Wow! I had never spent so much on one article of clothing before. I felt the queasiness increase.
The nice lady in the Nanette Lepore store wrapped the skirt in beautiful pink tissue paper, placed it in a Nanette Lepore bag, and we were on our way. We window shopped a little longer, then got in line for the Cirque' du Soleil show we had tickets to see.
The O show is a water show, and the theater has seats in the round that are tiered upward from the big pool in the middle of the stage. We made sure we were out of the splash zone because I still had the skirt with me, having not had time to return to our temporary home that evening. My husband took charge of the bag containing the skirt and placed it under his seat for safe keeping.
The show, O was fabulous. As the finale winded down, and the lights came on, the four of us began to gather our belongings. My husband reached under his seat to retrieve the Nanette Lepore bag containing my expensive Las Vegas Souvenir. I noticed that the bottom of the bag was wet. Soaking wet.
As much as we had been mindful of guarding the skirt from the splashing water in the O show, we had been less mindful of the little girl drinking a big gulp seated just behind my husband in the tiered row above us.
I pulled the skirt out of the bag. It was dripping with soda. Worse yet, the pink tissue paper meant to protect the expensive skirt had now bled onto the unique, well-made cream colored material. It was ruined. Queasy galore!
I could only think to wash the skirt as quickly as possible. Cold water? Hot water? It was 11:00 pm, and we were still in the theater. I made my way to the restroom to try and wash it. Then I realized that I had the business card from the shop in Caesar's Palace. Hoping beyond hope, I called.
"Hello. Nanette Lepore, Las Vegas".
I quickly explained what had happened, then asked the question most on my mind, "Should I wash it in cold water or hot water? What do I do?"
Then I entered the twilight zone of excellent customer service. "We'll exchange it for you," the woman at the shop said.
"You'll do what? You would really do that?" I said in complete shock. The queasiness was decreasing a little.
"Of course, Ma'am. Bring it in. We'll be here until 1:00." That was 1:00 AM! I was definitely in a twilight zone.
By midnight, we'd made our way back to the Nanette Lepore store. As nice as the people in that shop were, they could not exchange the skirt because there was not another one there in my size. However, they explained that there were Nanette Lepore stores throughout the country – Chicago, New York, San Francisco, etc. They vowed to find the skirt in my size at one of them.
However, all the other stores were closed at that point. They would have to wait until morning to begin the search. This posed a problem: we were boarding a plane in the morning to go home. The lady at the shop took my phone number and the skirt, and told me she would call me in the morning with the result of her search.
"Don't worry. We'll make this right for you." Excellent customer service. It was not their fault that my skirt had gotten wet, or that the tissue paper bled onto the fabric, but they were going to make it right.
And they did. While at the airport gate the next morning, the lady from Nanette Lepore called. She had found the skirt in my size at their San Francisco store. They would be mailing it to my home address directly.
"What will the shipping charges be?" I asked.
"Oh, you don't need to worry about that. You won't be charged for shipping", she said.
Two days later, the unique, well-made, expensive skirt was delivered to my door inside a box, and wrapped in pink tissue paper.
My story has come full circle. You might theorize that because I paid a higher price for the skirt than I did for the smoothie that I should expect better customer service. You may be right.
However, it is my theory, that excellent customer service means giving customers the unexpected. Whether your product costs one dollar or a thousand dollars, your customers should always be happily surprised by the experience you provide.
What do you think about the way the Nanette Lepore shop handled my crisis?
How can YOU deliver greater service to your customers?

Nana Crawley ...........
I have been a lurker on Once Upon a Sketch for a long time, so thought it was about time I joined in!
The "case file" for this challenge is unusual in that it is more than a sketch and colour challenge with journalling and techniques also required.
This is so not the layout I was going to do! I had planned a really inky page with a small photograph of my Nana. But then I noticed the painting hanging on the wall at the top of the photograph. It is not any old painting but a watercolour of three shell pickers on the beach painted by my Grandpa in 1927 and which now hangs in our sitting room! What a surprise as I've looked at this photograph so many times! So I just couldn't cut the photograph and consequently had to change my whole page design!
So this is my interpretation of the colour scheme and sketch and I have also used:
: leaves
: fibres
: tone on tone
: floating inspiration words
: journalling in the form of a letter
Add some collaged and inked pieces and some handmade flowers and leaves, a search through my drawers for doilies, pins and lace and I surprised myself with the colour scheme!
My journalling is on the ribboned tag - what was she thinking/dreaming of? Would she have had any idea where her life was eventually to take her and even now how often she is remembered and loved. I know she dreamed as she told us such wonderful stories which I always believed were true!
Do pop along to Once Upon A Sketch and have a look at some of the DT layouts and some of the fantastic entries. Every layout is just so different.
Thanks for popping by!

Hello Jennie, this is such beautiful layout - the colours and choice of embellishments are perfect for the photo of your grandmother. And it was lucky that you spotted the picture hanging there. I read in one of the family history books I have that we should avoid over-cropping our old photos because what is in the background can give historians clues when trying to date them and also an insight into the life of the subject, so you did well to retain all of the photo. Besides, it's lovely.

The title of this post on more than one occasion causes debate … It is one of the questions that are always repeated and I think all the brides ask it. Today I wanted to give you my opinion about it.
We have to bear in mind that a wedding usually lasts about 15 hours counting on the makeup and hairdressing of the bride, the arrival to the Best Pre Wedding Photographer Singapore, the ceremony, the photo session, the coctail and the banquet and at the end the dance and the party .
In my own wedding my preparation started around 2pm and that ceremony did not start until 6.30pm but the bride needs a lot of time to prepare … We finished the party around 5am and therefore we are talking about 15h.
Photographers (and videographers) are part of our big day and their work is important. If we think about it, it is that they are really going to give us one of the greatest memories we have of our wedding. And although the wedding does not start until afternoons (as in my case) these people start working when the bride starts to get ready and finish a few hours after the end of the party.
Do you really think that they have no right to eat during all these hours? Surely you all think right now "of course yes but because I have to pay for it!". You are not obliged to pay the food to anyone in my opinion but the normal and human is that you provide these professionals with something to chop so they do not fall on your back, do not you think?
And because I have to pay them a menu with how expensive it is? Well let me tell you that you are not obligated to pay them the menu !! And if a professional demands it, well, I would tell you what kind of person you are dealing with …
Personally I think it's good manners (and moral obligation) to make sure that these professionals can eat something. That something can be a children's menu, a main dish or something similar but decent. In many occasions the catering can offer you some solutions.
Because if you do not offer them something to eat during all those hours you're in danger that they go out to eat and miss important moments of your wedding … Apart from that, do not you think that a person working at ease will give you a job better done?
At my own wedding I decided to treat my photographers as just another guest. They ate the same as us and we even sat down with the guests. During all the previous months with so much contact and friction we had created a friendship relationship.
Pastafaris, followers of the so-called Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster , can officially marry in New Zealand, an important recognition for this parodic religion, whose aim is to promote tolerance.
The official approval, announced last December, was received with joy on the Facebook page of this religious congregation, which hopes that their marriages will be "legally binding" as of next February . The pastafarismo , that combines the words pasta and Rastafarianism, is "a religion approved by the Government", declared triumphant this week the ramen superior or representative in New Zealand of the Church, that prefers to maintain its name in the anonymity.
Culinary terms such as pasta or ramen (a type of Japanese noodle) are related to the Flying Spaghetti Monster or Lord Tallarinesco, which they consider creator of the Universe . Pastafaris, especially in Australia and the USA The pastafaris like to wear a pirate hat or a pasta strainer in the official photos, which has been a bureaucratic problem in some countries. Australia or the United States do not recognize pastafarism as a religion, although in both countries two Pastafarians managed to be allowed to appear on an official card with a strainer on their heads for religious reasons.
Your symbols The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster was created in 2005 by the American Bobby Henderson as a protest for the diffusion in the public schools of the state of Kansas (USA) of the creationist doctrine , based on the creation of the world by God, to the detriment of Darwin's theory of evolution.
Henderson parodied the "intelligent design" , which defends that the Universe was conceived by a superior entity and rejects natural selection, by creating a god in the form of spaghetti intertwined with two meatballs. Next, he requested that pastafarism, which proclaims that Lord Tallarinesco created the Universe after a drunkenness , was also taught in science classes.
Among its symbols is also the fork to eat spaghetti and your prayers should end in RAmen or r'Amen (word game between the ramen and amen noodles ). However, the different Pastafarian congregations defend slightly different theses. Some congregations such as the United States defend that paradise is full of beer volcanoes and strip dancers , who also inhabit Hell, although in this case with venereal diseases. The New Zealand pastafaris do not believe in this eschatological version and, unlike the groups in the United States and Australia, they claim that the Flying Spaghetti Monster is intersexual or hermaphroditic .
The followers of this peculiar faith defend their beliefs without hiding the ironic nuance with the aim of promoting rational thought and tolerance. "We believe that change can happen through laughter instead of traditional religious violence," said the New Zealand upper ramen, in a veiled criticism of religious extremism.
Pastafarianism is not the only parodic religion, since there are others like the Jedi , inspired by the movie saga Star Wars , or even the worshipers of Google , which considers that the internet search engine is the closest thing to God because he answers prayers and knows everything. Visit the photo booth rental sydney for more details.
Among the various cravings or desires of food during pregnancy can include sweet foods, salty, bitter, spicy or high in protein, but in the case of pasta there are different causes that motivate, so know these casusa can relieve them through a healthy satisfaction, since these foods must be consumed with care in order not to generate an excessive increase in weight, which is not recommended in this delicate condition.
The exact cause of a particular whim,according to specialists, lies in the hormonal changes so important during pregnancy,being responsible for the reflux, flow and sensory changes that manifest during this particular stage of the woman and that underlies altered hormone levels.
In some cases the cravings can translate into the body's way of demanding certain nutrients, so for example in the case of pasta that is rich in carbohydrates, fiber and magnesium , it can be an attempt by the body to indicate a shortage in one or more of these nutrients so important for a pregnant woman's diet . In the same way you can reason cravings for meats that may indicate low levels of protein , just as women who crave pickles may need extra sodium.
In the particular case of pasta for its richness in hydrates drives the body to produce more hormone serotonin , also known as the " hormone of happiness ", since this neurotransmitter is responsible for feelings of happiness, a situation that puts them first place for pregnant women , because they go through different emotional states that many cases alter them; for that reason they look for in the pastas that feeling of happiness or relaxationto balance themselves emotionally.
The cravings of pregnancy should not be ignored , but should be treated in a healthy way, not being carried away by processed foods or chemicals, rich in sugars and salts that can lead to dangerous weight gain for the condition, should opt for natural foods replace them.
People give a lot to get married on these dates. I do not know if by the good weather, by joining the permission by marriage to the holidays or by the conjunction of Jupiter with Mercury, the matchmaking frenzy is such that those allergic to weddings are almost afraid to open the mailbox will not be that some invitation wait for us there crouched. The worst thing is that with marriage links not only do the endless ceremonies, the outfits, the cigars, the ties tied in the head and the chains go dancing I will survive, but something even more abominable: the banquets.
I have eaten well at weddings. In few. So few that you could count on the fingers of a hand that had suffered a couple of amputations. But most of the nuptial feasts I've attended have gone from the mediocre to the directly creepy. Someone said – it sounds to me that it was me – that they were the natural habitat of the old food, and it is true: nowhere else can you see so many dishes that can be included in this category, such as shrimp cocktails, prawns ' tails to the gabardine, the dates with bacon or the mythical round of veal with brown sauce, known by many as "wedding meat" .
I have seen things that you would not believe, and they were not exactly burning ships beyond Orion. Cars on which were piled beef sirloins roasted whole, capable of returning vegan to a polar bear. Tempered salads reduced by the passage of time to a jumble of limp leaves. Establishments that, with all their c ***, served as an incoming spaghetti that would not strain even in a children's menu. First creams converted by art of birlibirloque in the sauce of the second. Hake to the roman that arrived at the dish conserving intact its heart of frozen Findus. And all paid by the parties at the price of unicorn chop, which is the most serious: the average cost of the covered in this type of events ranges from 75 to 100 euros.
With these numbers, why is it so difficult to eat well at a wedding? We always tend to look for the culprits in the kitchens of the restaurants or venues where the banquets are held, and in many cases we will surely find there more than one criminal of a stale dish of hors d'oeuvres and annealed entrecote. As anyone who has cooked for a large group at home knows, serving lots of people at once and that everything arrives at the table is not an easy task. It's more of a big brown.
Rocío Vázquez, who organizes weddings through her company Luz Verde , believes that in many occasions the problem is in the couples who get married. "For me, it is more complicated to make people understand why than to find a space where they cook well." Many couples invite 200 people to eat and insist on putting dishes that do not work well for so many people, such as sirloin steak. They do not let themselves be advised. " Given the amount of dried sirloin with roquefort sauce, green pepper sauce or, horror of the horror, foie plastorra that I have suffered in these situations, I can not help but agree with him.
According to Vázquez, another distorting element of the quality of the menus are the parents of the future spouses, who tend to demand mastodonic quantities of food so that nobody escapes without a full andorga. "In Galicia, for example, many older people think that if you do not put eight plates of seafood, goose barnacles by the ears and eat until burst, the wedding has been shit," says the coruñesa. Fortunately, the habit of baiting the guests as if they had just arrived from an African famine is in decline: "The trend is to reinforce the appetizers and lighten the banquets, the weddings of eight or ten dishes that you spend five hours sitting down less".
Modernity has brought with it the decline of binge eating, but also another most fearsome trend: attempts to serve "creative" or "author" food. Something that can go well if the place has trained chefs, but that ends up making people laugh when the refinement pretenses lead to cheesy and rococo dishes. Arantxa Ruano, member of the communication department of the gastronomic producer Gsr and blogger Curry Curry Que Te Pillo , sent me a few days ago this wonderful photo of a dish that was served at a wedding dj melbourne.
Trampantojo of the vintage? Arcimboldo picture? Subtle song to the female genital tract? Ruano tells the origin of this work of art: "The wedding was held in a simple place, with simple people and simple food where, apparently, the chef wanted to show off with the first dish: melon pearls with Iberian ham and ice cream , the minutes said, and indeed that was, but everything-all strategically placed on the plate to make it the best still life in his life, I guess it was inspired by the traditional melon with ham, and everything separately was good (the ice cream was gazpacho) ".
The author of the photo that opens this entrance, José María Montenegro , also detected avant-garde flashes in a wedding he attended in a town in Malaga. "It was in a road site that serves classic dishes and in quantity, there were croquettes, cheese cubes, dates with bacon and, I suppose, in homage to when the grandparents of the couple were married, filled pineapple, but also unheard of concessions to the modernity like chicken curry, little fillets of sirloin with crispy kikos or mojito sorbet ".
The viejuna / modernuna fusion meal worked, because Montenegro claims to have eaten "really well". However, at other times the techno-emotional vagaries do not come to be understood at weddings. At a wedding in a renowned restaurant, Arantxa Ruano was served, among the appetizers, a glass with transparent tomato broth that had a toast with Iberian ham on it. "Suddenly I began to see how all the cups sat on the table with those 'waters' that few guests dared to taste, everyone thought that this was to perfume or something like that … In short, innovation sometimes does not come through eyes ".
The classic that remains unchanged in the face of fashions is possibly the most tacky dessert of all time: the wedding cake. Usually inedible, and recently reinforced in its bad taste with the appearance of the fondant, that moldable layer of sugary dough capable of loading any dessert. Unfortunately, the fact that the bride and groom cut her with a sword every time is seen less at least in the more refined circles, but other peculiar customs advance in this respect.
One is to show a giant cake with the couple, which remains intact while the guests receive portions of cake out of God knows where ("Why not really serve us? Who eats the other cake?" , Ruano asks himself without reason). The other, undoubtedly my favorite, is the cake that comes down from the ceiling with flares: it tells the follower of El Comidista on Facebook Cristina de Lama, and since I've read it I can not stop sighing because they invite me to a bodorrio where something like that happen
Here are some simple tips to make your photos successful in the event scene. Show your experience and professionalism with quality shots.
In the event world, you must show your experience and professionalism. Nothing like references illustrated by beautiful photos to highlight your work, your contribution to the success of your clients' events.
Today, you no longer need expensive hardware, a smartphone and some good practices are enough!
Here are some simple tips to make your photos:
1. Make a list of the photos to take
The idea is to create a bank of photographs taken on various events and that you can use for all your media. When making a list of photos illustrating your work, consider using Pinterest, the social network of photography to find inspiration: ambiances, colors, poses … everything must be put on your list!
2. Calculate your composition
Here, for a successful event photography, no coincidence! Your composition must be thought out in a "mathematical" way. Use the third party method: you cut your screen in 3 equal parts, horizontally or vertically. Each third party is filled with different elements: one third of background, two thirds of buffet for example.
3. Heal the background
This is probably the most difficult task at an event: you have to remove all "unnecessary" elements for your Photo Visual to be effective. Clean up your photo space and remove from the background subjects and objects that do not interest you. Think about focusing on your subject, the other shots will appear blurry, for a better visual effect.
4. Multiply Viewing Angles
By moving and testing multiple locations, you'll find the best angle. Place, for example, back to the sun for optimal light. You can also try the low angle for an original composition that will give charisma to your photograph. Play with the decorative elements of the covered event.
5. Use zoom in moderation The
more you zoom in, the degraded the picture quality. Consider getting closer to the subject you want to take a picture rather than using the zoom. If you can not get closer, take a snapshot and then zoom in with the editing tools on your device or computer so you do not lose quality.
6. Capture emotions
Avoid photos without humanity. Take silhouettes, faces, hands, smiles. "Manned" shots are always the ones that produce the greatest impact. We must feel the atmosphere of the event.
These few tricks will allow you to considerably increase the quality of your photos and to highlight your activity and your references.
Do not forget, an image is often better than a long speech! Take advantage of the OandB event platform to showcase your business through beautiful shots of the events covered.

Are you sick of shaving or waxing? Have you noticed that shaving and shaving just causes your hairs to grow even thicker? Or do you often experience side effects such as folliculitis or skin rashes after hair removal in more traditional forms?
Today, technology has advanced to the point where almost everyone is a candidate for permanent and safe hair removal. Imagine not having to shave your armpits or legs – never again. Before you make a decision, you probably have some questions.
In the treatment of laser hair removal pulses of concentrated light are used which damage the hair follicles in a manner such as to interrupt growth while leaving the surrounding skin intact. Each laser pulse, has a fraction of a second to deliver, targets numerous hairs at a time. A session to remove axillary hair, for example, takes as little as 20 minutes.
As a general rule, people who seek the complete and permanent removal of hair from a particular area of the body require between two and eight treatments. This is because the laser hair removal treatment is only truly effective during the growth phase of the hair growth cycle.
Numerous different laser hair removal techniques are available. They are, at a glance:
Lasers specifically designed to facilitate hair removal can safely treat most areas of the body. Do you want to be rid of hair on the upper lip, chin, or other areas of the face? You're lucky! The legs, arms, armpits, bikini line, and back can be addressed too, along with the chest and shoulders. While large areas can be treated during a session, the laser treatment is targeted enough to allow dermatologists to focus solely on very small portions of the body as well.
Has the hair that you would like to have permanently removed have been growing or depilating? If so, the level of pain you will experience when going to your laser hair removal sessions would not surprise you in the least. You may even find that laser hair removal hurts less than your normal hair removal technique.
If, however, it has always been the shaving method used for epilation all the time, it is possible the laser treatment a little uncomfortable. You will probably experience a zapping sensation that feels unpleasant but not very painful.
Before your first and subsequent hair removal treatments, you will need to follow the instructions of your dermatologist on demand. They usually include:
When you arrive at your appointment, your skin will be cleaned and your hair trimmed to the length of a few millimeters. You will be given special glasses to use during the session to protect your eyes and the laser will adjust to your particular pigment before the session begins. You may be given an anesthetic cream. Having your back or your treated legs will take you longer: up to an hour and a half. Smaller areas of skin can be taken as little as 10 minutes to cover in a single session.
After your hair removal session, you can expect – depending on the type of laser being used – to see some redness, swelling and blisters. There may be a slight change in the pigment in the treated area of the skin, which should be temporary if the correct laser was chosen. Again, follow your dermatologist's instructions and apply cold ointments and compresses.
The results you will get with laser hair removal treatment are immediately evident. With each session, you will become more and more gentle and you will realize that every time you grow less hairs. However, will you be completely free of hair forever? It may not be. Most hair removal lasers remove up to 90 percent of the hair in the area permanently covered, while a remaining 10 percent can grow back periodically. It is for this reason that most dermatologists recommend annual maintenance therapy, they may or may not find what they need.

Steam cleaning is the best way to clean a carpet, as the hot water extraction combined with the cleaning solution removes dirt deep, getting to the root of the problem. The so-called "steam cleaning" is confusing because there is actually steam, hot water but applied on the carpet.
You can hire a professional rug cleaning, which may be a better option to do it for yourself.Professional services are familiar with materials and fabrics that make carpets and know how much water and solution will achieve the best results for specific stains from your carpet.Professional services are better than home cleaning system because hot water extraction mounted on a truck uses the power using hot water much better than a tap home pressure, removing the dirt deeper and effectively. Another great advantage is that all the dirt and fat is sucked from your carpet is deposited directly into a waste tank, so you do not have to throw in the trash after cleaning.
Instead of hiring a professional, you can rent a steam cleaning machine as Rug Doctor or buy, as Bissell Steam Vacuum or Hoover Steam Vac. The opinions in Epinions show that these machines work well to remove old stains.
The water vapor used these machines usually reaches about 118 ° F (48 ° C) which alone helps to release the particles and ingredients that have been stuck into the fabric of the carpet. The best temperature for this type of cleaning is about 150-200 ° F (65-93 ° C). The hot water is combined with a cleaning solution that removes stains, and then the area is aspirated to remove all dirt and particles.
Not only steam cleaning is the best method for cleaning carpets, but also also has many advantages. First, high temperatures kill bacteria, fungi, dust mites and mold, making the carpet is like new, which is good especially for those suffering from allergies. Steam cleaning leaves no residue, unlike foams purchased at stores such as Resolve, which attract dirt and may damage the carpet fibers.
Steam cleaning carpet is usually associated with hot water extraction. However, this is only one of the five methods of carpet cleaning with steam, although the traditional way is considered the best hygiene carpets. Other methods may be a good option when the traditional steam cleaning is very costly or inconvenient.
A foam cleaning carpet cleaning common method is to apply a semi-wet foam cleaner or dust the stain until dry, then vacuum the residue. However, it is unlikely that the product itself can tear out all the dirt particles, especially old stains. In addition, foams or powder apply only adds to the existing dirt on the carpet, because the cleaner may not have the necessary suction power to remove all debris.
Shampooing a cleansing shampoo is applied to one similar to that used on wood floors planer. The machine sweeps the carpet with the product, but no extraction after cleaning. So essentially, dirt spreads, making it appear that the carpet is cleaner.
Cleaning bonnet Another way to clean a carpet is to use a rotating cotton bonnet. The bonnet is immersed in a solution of shampoo and then placed at the bottom of the sweeping machine. The high-speed rotating action is intended to loosen dirt and absorb stains on cotton. When the bonnet is dirty, you can rinse it and turn it around to continue cleaning.After the carpet is dry, the area is drawn. This method is better than the shampoo because the bonnet absorbs dirt, unlike the sweeper, which only has the ability to spread the solution.Although the method is better than shampooing, it is not higher than cleaning with hot water extraction because cleaning is based on absorption bonnet instead of the vacuum suction steam, which is more potent.
Dry Cleaning Finally, there is also a dry cleaning solution. a powder on the carpet is applied and allowed to act for 15 minutes. a sweeper is then passed with two rotating heads on the carpet to get the deepest powder. Finally the area is sucked to suck waste. Again, not all dust is cleaned with a vacuum cleaner and dust is not effective for old or dry spots.
Try to keep a white carpet in this state can be a challenge, so it is advisable to thoroughly clean a white carpet rather than wait until you see the first signs of dirt. If the white carpet is in an area of heavy traffic and people step on the shoes on, or near a kitchen where waste oils and stick to it, a deep cleaning every 6 months is recommended. As dirt and stains can not always be in a colored carpet, deep cleaning is recommended every 18 months.
When you do not use steam cleaning for a white carpet, look for products asserting a "deep cleansing". This leads to the bottom of the fibers, as a white carpet that is cleaned only superficially might suggest that the color is actually ivory.
Even if your carpet is white, do not use bleach is recommended, as it may result in a patchy appearance.
The most fun way in my opinion to prepare coffee filter type with different profiles is the Aeropress. Visually it looks like a giant syringe and gives a little scary! This filter method has a lot of possibilities to play and draw different properties of coffee.
To better understand these seven variables in the preparation of coffee Aeropress and that you can modify to create a good coffee, I summarize here:
# 1 – coffee and water quality: these are the two ingredients of an infused coffee and as you know, the coffee is 98.7% water and 1.3% are in the water dissolved solids (TDS). And for this, the taste of coffee depends heavily on the quality of water & coffee quality you use to make your infusion.
# 2 – Ratio coffee / water: this is the recipe that you use to make your coffee. Coffee filter is recommended between 50 & 70 grams of coffee per liter of water. The baristas talk about the formula of the infusion 1/16 and this is per gram of coffee use 16 grams of water. This is useful to know when your ingredients with a weight scale.
# 3 – Contact time: this is the time in seconds or minutes that the coffee is infused into the water. In most brewing methods this time depends on the "ground point" & the amount of coffee you use. With the Aeropress, the barista can set the fastest time down the embullo.
# 4 – Water temperature: one of the most important factors to extract the properties of a faster infusion is high temperature. If you make a cold infusion will take longer to extract good coffee with hot water. With the Aeropress you can use water from 85 ° C to 95 ° C to test your taste …
# 5 – Turbulence: when you make an infusion of tea in hot water without removing the bag, it takes longer than when you remove. This is the same in coffee and must be taken into account when preparing a coffee filter. Each invents his ritual and will be explained, but the consistency of movements will allow you to play a drink several times!
# 6 – Filter material: a thicker or thinner paper, a metal filter with larger or smaller holes, make us spend more oils and particles or not. This can give us a different body and a more or less "clean" cup. What if advised always clean the filter with hot water to remove undesirable flavors paper.
# 7 – Pre-infusion: this are as words over baristas … when water comes in contact with the coffee, gases to escape in large quantity and follows the grain aroma. To "prepare" the coffee you'll infuse you pour some water for a short time to "pre-infusing" and have the coffee ready for infusion. Time infusion in a pre espresso, a good espresso machines for $1000 and filter change will extract and flavors that powers your coffee. Pre-infusion, whether or not depends on the method & coffee using the barista.
These 7 variables are the main factors that will influence the extraction of your coffee and coffee so each is different. And so, there is no coffee exactly the same. The more you apply it to your preparation methodology and more you measure your variables (weight, temperature, time) … more'll understand how to prepare a very good coffee.
If you are passionate about coffee machine rental sg at home or professional barista and you want to take your knowledge of coffee to the next level,
I have a good news for you …

The threat is serious and the big clubs in England are already in the running for the goal. Leaders Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea met in secret at the Dorchester hotel in London to discuss the project of the European Super League.
It is a plan created by US billionaire Stephen Ross, as published by the British newspaper The Sun in which collects images of leaders bandonando the hotel after the meeting.Ed Woodward (United), Bruce Buck (Chelsea), Ivan Gazidis (Arsenal), Ferrán Soriano (City) and Ian Ayre (Liverpool) met with Ross to discuss the possible creation of this new tournament, which would be the biggest threat for football English after the process of creation of the Premier League in 1992 and could be the end point of the history of the UEFA Champions League.
Ross, owner of the Miami Dolphins NFL, has already shown interest in the business of European football. It is one of the promoters of the International Champions Cup , a summer tournament that serves to big clubs in Europe like Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United. Liverpoool, Real Madrid and Valencia among others, for their preseason on American soil.
The new tournament would allow como aprender ingles em pouco tempo, English clubs measured big European rivals and avoid the risk of losing millions in case of an early elimination, something that yes happen to them in the Champions League if they were outside of the tournament.The measure could benefit United, Chelsea and Liverpool , who could be left out of the Champions League this season due to the great campaign they are doing Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur. As noted Mirror, clubs like Barcelona, Real Madrid, AC Milan, Bayern Munich and Olympiakos could receive invitations to participate in the tournament.
United and Liverpool have agreed with the idea, and Arsenal and City do not want to lose the opportunity to box with the idea. If Ross finally establishes its draft the European Super League , would mean the end of the Champions League and was the beginning of one of the most important gaps in the history of football.

The berissense is confident that the audience will find many attractions in the competition."There will be such categories in which young people with physical 'beachy' as they are called in the atmosphere of fitshoppro girls and boys who have bodies with ripped muscles but not so bulky, which does not require much preparation time, but is especially attractive to young people who are thinking about caring for the summer, "he says.
At the same time, the tournament will be a very attractive spectacle for its colorful and choreography, in addition to the sculpted bodies of the leading exponents of the disciplines in the country.
"The organization is complex, but in my case helped by the fact I have been all my life to organizing events. You have to coordinate everything is music, lights, sound; consider each participant, considering the safety and seek accommodation in the area more than 90 people, is not easy, "Rios said.
Plus what constitutes an attractive presentation of all the Argentine team Fisicoculturismo, a week later represent the country in the World to be held in the Italian city of Naples.
A show
"We want to show that Berisso is an attractive place to organize events and the site offers all the comforts. We even rented a tent for 1200 people and put up a scenario of more than 15 meters, since in some categories more than 25 athletes competing at a time, "said Rios.
"It's a big bet we do, because this is usually arranged in theaters or cinemas, indoors. Here to there will be room for inflatables and green spaces, for the whole family with kids can enjoy something new, "then he said, also mentioning that the tournament will also offer several Berissenses, men and women, measured by the great exponents of more high national level.
People no longer write those long letters describing special, good or bad times of life of people. Now communication is almost instantaneous, full of emoticons and others by short messages and the occasional email using http://www.emailappend.services/.
Gone are the days when we were anxiously expecting the whistle to announce their arrival postman sometimes walk, bike or other motorcycle, but always with a heavy suitcase full of envelopes.
Many young people do not know these iconic characters and what it represented for some generations that remember with nostalgia, now only come in the mail bank statements and advertising.
A little history:
Even before the colonial era, there were already some species of postal services in Mexico.strong men and were known for being fast, carried messages of utmost importance to kings or chieftains.
There was even a system relay every 10 kilometers a man delivered the message to another and so on until it reached its destination. This system was devised by the Aztecs.
And with the arrival of the Spaniards, who brought the horses, how to deliver messages it was faster and practice.
It was in 1579 when the first post was established in Yucatan. Subsequently formal offices settled in Puebla, Veracruz, Guerrero and Guanajuato, thereby establishing a system of couriers.
Called mailboxes began to put much later, during the empire of Maximilian, in which the first postal envelopes were also used.
Already at the time of Porfirio Diaz, specifically in 1910, the post office building or Postal Palace was built, also in his time mail delivery she was expedited by the railroad.
Thus, the mail was evolved to what it is today, with offices and a network constituted, although it is threatened by electronic media, it is still used by many.
Mailman Day
History tells us that in times of the Revolution, a train carrying gold overturned; also he wore military correspondence, and the person in charge of carrying preferred to move it to its destination to take the gold and run.
President Pascual Ortiz Rubio said at the time that that was why the Revolution had a debt with postmen, why it was decided to institute the Day Postman, which was held in Mexico every November 12 since 193. in 1947 a stamp devoted the postman was printed.
Mailman Day seeks to acknowledge the social work of those who are responsible for carrying the messages expected by citizens, often regardless of the circumstances or the environment.

To achieve safe food is essential to a good cleaning and disinfection especially surfaces and facilities. Do not be confused, however, the industrial and domestic. In the first there is usually a greater amount of organic matter, plus facilities and conditions very different work. That differential factor is the design mechanisms requiring cleaning and disinfection effective.
Maintaining adequate and safe conditions in industrial food handling, in addition to controls at critical points in the production system, it requires the implementation of mechanisms to ensure complete hygiene of surfaces, equipment and work tools. The reason is simple: the impurities and dirt are fixed in a very complex way to the surfaces. Generally, they can be mechanically locked in pores, cracks and other irregularities. Hence eliminate considering that use a constant flow occurs, it is essential to prevent contamination and therefore the risk of food poisoning.
To eliminate pathogens or potentially polluting surface elements or facilities not simply apply conventional cleaning methods. Rather, you need to implement a system capable of overcoming the electrostatic forces or physicochemical bonding that occur both between impurities and impregnated surfaces as among the substances together. The sum between these connections can be expressed as adhesion energy. To achieve separation of these impurities, membership, we must supply products in quantity and appropriate manner.
Today there are solutions at hand to ensure that cleaning and disinfection are carried out correctly in the industrial field. A proper study of engineering design allows to evaluate not only the process line but also anticipate each of the aspects involved in a vital way along the supply chain for the production of food. For this reason the application of integrated cleaning systems, which get mixed in suitable proportions water and chemicals, the ideal temperature for the process, ensures maximum efficiency.
Pipes, surfaces,gutter cleaning and closed systems are the most critical points in the Good industrial systems cleaning and disinfection of industrial food production systems incorporate piping, tubing or closed along which foods or ingredients systems. To achieve effective cleaning them it is customary to employ a solution that incorporates detergents and disinfectants is circulated through the equipment and installations for a certain time. The dissolved and dispersed by the cleaning agent components are carried by the circulating liquid. The prevailing criterion for effective cleaning is achieved is to try to generate a turbulent flow.
This turbulence occurs when fluid particles move haphazardly creating small eddies. Conversely, it is not sought to laminar flow circulation, which is what occurs when the liquid forms layers or levels which move over each other at different speeds without blending.
The turbulent flow only ensures the effectiveness of cleaning if you have the so-called Reynolds number in a strip of appropriate values. This indicator is considered density, liquid viscosity, average flow velocity and the diameter of the pipe. For proper and effective turbulent flow it is considered a Reynolds number between 3000 and 9000. located (dimensionless parameter).
A processing plant want to use a CIP cleaning system must meet certain special conditions designed to ensure the effectiveness of cleaning and disinfection. It is essential to have separate systems for raw materials and finished products.
Stainless steel is the preferred material for all surfaces and for all components that make up the production line material. The plant layout and piping must allow complete draining of all circuits.
On the other hand should ensure a high degree of turbulence of cleaning fluids on all surfaces to be cleaned. To monitor conditions such as concentration of solutions and evidence of effectiveness, must be installed adequate instruments and sampling points at critical control points cleaning circuit.
It also must ensure flawless operation of the cleaning cycle, without the possibility of cross contamination between chemicals and foodstuffs. To ensure that any leakage of cleaning products or food coming into contact during production cycles, it is recommended to install a drain discharge, between lines of production and CIP system. The CIP cleaning process does not consider manual intervention so that the control should be strict to avoid contamination.
The CIP cleaning effectiveness should be verified through a program of chemical, physical, microbiological and visual tests. Disinfection after cleaning may be effected by heat or chemicals. For this particular case it is advisable CIP cleaning, as are products that have a low consistency, so the risk of biofilm formation in any part of the line is low, which allows both cleaning the automated disinfection. Application of HACCP Within the manufacture of food products, it is important to analyze each of the critical control points, since there are multiple stages that make up the process, which can have a strong impact on the contamination of the final product. This contamination may be responsible for infections or poisoning by the presence of viable microorganisms and the possibility of toxin production of the same, as is the special case of Staphylococcus aureus and enteropathogenic strains ofEscherichia coli .
As a starting point that would ensure optimum product quality along with meet the multiple needs of the end consumer, it is essential to implement a manual of good manufacturing practices, which must be known and shared by each of the departments of the company or institution in which food is handled. For this reason, you should use a good logistics system to ensure proper handling, processing, fractionation, storage and transportation of food for human consumption.
At present there are greater complicity systems for ensuring product quality, which should be implemented not only to ensure proper chain of production but also as a competitive advantage among companies in the food category.Among others, include HACCP systems, Continuous Improvement, Auditing and Certification ISO 9000: 2000 Total Quality Management (TQM) and Total Productive Maintenance (TPM).
From the industrial point of view one of the primary objectives is to design the production plant working with maximum performance of each of its components to minimize both operational and cost inefficiencies. The main problem for your application can be derived from a low mentalization of the organization, which requires extreme vigilance of the systems considered.
The implementation of the CIP system requires heavy investment, associated with the space required to perform this automation. For this reason, looking for a design according to the needs of infrastructure as well as the importance of minimizing cost.
In the food sector, due to its complexity and social responsibility, it is necessary not only to ensure good manufacturing practices but also an integrated logistics chain which allows to engage with high quality standards both suppliers and distribution centers, to information finished the final consumer. In this long chain systems cleaning and disinfection they are essential.

Our first attempt to do Everest Base Camp (EBC) was unsuccessful - all because we couldn't fly into Lukla which is the starting point of the trek.
Here's a recap of what happened:
We flew Malindo Air from Kuala Lumpur and landed in Kathmandu on 16 September 2016 at around 9.30pm.
We stayed at the pleasant and cosy Hotel Yambu during our stay in Kathmandu.
The next morning (17 September 2016) we met up with Raj the owner of the tour agency and paid him the package fees for the entire EBC trek which covers accommodation, meals, return flights to Lukla, guide, porter, etc. In our conversation with him, he mentioned that the weather has not been good. However he confidently assured us that we will be able to fly to Lukla the next day.
With this assurance, we spent the rest of the day shopping for gear and clothing in Thamel. I managed to buy a nice stretchy trekking pants for NPR2,000.
There're various shops in Thamel selling all sorts of trekking gear and souvenirs too.
On the morning of 18 September 2016, we woke up to grey and gloomy skies. And then the heavens opened and it rained heavily. My heart sank - I knew we won't be able to make it. True enough, we didn't even need to go to the Tribhuvan International Airport (where flights to Lukla depart) as Raj just need to call up Lukla Airport to see whether it's opened.
In case you're wondering why the pilots are so poorly skilled that they can't land a plane at Lukla Airport in a little rain, let me share with you the reason. You see, Lukla Airport (also known as the Tenzing-Hillary Airport) is situated in a valley surrounded by mountains. According to Wikipedia, its runway is only 527m long! The History Channel, in a 2010 programme titled Most Extreme Airports, had rated Lukla Airport as THE most dangerous airport in the world!
Whenever it rains, the weather gets misty and foggy which makes it difficult for the pilot to fly the plane to Lukla, let alone land it at the airport. So to avoid hitting a mountain or something, they will just close the airport and cancel all flights in bad weather.
Raj was still hopeful that the weather will improve and that the Lukla Airport will reopen. So he told us to be on standby till 12 noon. Apparently flights to Lukla even go till 4pm if the weather improves. Kathmandu may be bright and sunny but if Lukla is misty and foggy, it's still a no go. So we kept our fingers crossed.
By 12 noon there was still no sign of Lukla Airport reopening and I was already losing hope.
After lunch Raj broke the bad news to us - that Lukla Airport will be closed for the whole day. He also informed us that he was unable to get tickets for us the following day, i.e. 19 September 2016. Apparently Lukla Airport was closed the entire week before we arrived in Kathmandu. So imagine the backlog of travellers who would have been waiting for their flight to Lukla.
Raj was able to get tickets for us on 20 September 2016. However there's still no assurance that the weather would be good on that day. Moreover flying out on 20 September would mean that we would have lost our 2 buffer days for acclamatisation in Namche Bazaar and Lobuche, which is relatively a big risk.
At that point we decided that instead of working with moving dates and with so many uncertainties, we decided it's best to let EBC go and do another trek instead.
Alas, all the training, planning and money invested in the past 2 years aiming for EBC have become wasted effort.
Honestly, if I had been travelling alone, I would have asked for a refund from Raj and return home to Kuala Lumpur earlier.
1) Because this was already my third time in Nepal (was here in 2012 and 2014) and I had already seen the majestic mountains that Nepal has to offer (eventually all mountains will begin to look the same, just like temples and churches); and
2) Because my main aim of going to Nepal in 2016 was to do EBC and nothing else. So since we couldn't fly to Lukla, might as well cut my loses and save the money to do EBC at another time, or save the money for another trip. I didn't want to spend money to do another trek just because I was already in Nepal.
But alas, there were 3 of us - one loves trekking and was really enthusiastic to do another trek despite being her third time in Nepal too. The other person was his first time in Nepal. I couldn't abandon them, it had to be a group decision and the group decided to trek to the Langtang region instead, which we did.
Will I attempt to do EBC again?
Well, the dream has been buried temporarily. If I decide to do EBC again, I'll attempt to do it via Tibet to eliminate the risk of not getting into Lukla Airport. And also because I've never been to Tibet.
In my next posts, I'll share with you how to time and plan your EBC trek. Stay tuned ...

He can not only play guitar extremely well (he engineers every guitar synth sound), he also has a great lead and background singing voice. Reed and Joe can harmonize with the best of them, add Ben to that mix, and it is something special to hear.

Malibu drug rehabilitation is more effective than regular drug rehabilitation. Period. There's no clearer way to state the facts, no more important message to communicate. The fact of the matter is that Malibu is a very special place, and that Malibu drug rehabs offer environmental benefits that their competitors simply can't match. In the fight against addiction, a Malibu drug rehab center can literally make all the difference in the world.
Drug rehab is always hard – don't let anyone tell you otherwise. But Malibu drug rehab makes the process as smooth as it can possibly be, by ensuring that clients are free from the tensions and distractions of everyday living. To arrive at a Malibu drug rehabilitation facility is to enter a world apart, a place where nothing can impede you on the road to wellness. That's what distinguishes Malibu drug rehabilitation from the imitations. It's also why you can't afford to settle for anything less than the best care you can get.

Daughter Told During Play of Family Car Crash
Like so many others, I have prayed for this family. My heart just aches with compassion when I reflect on this tragedy. You just want to do something.
Brittany Vollmer, the college student from Sioux Falls, S.D., who lost her entire family in a car crash was told about the accident during a school play that she was attending. The president of Northwestern College in Orange City, Ia, Greg Christy, broke the news to Brittany during intermission. The Saturday crash on Interstate 90 in South Dakota killed James and Julie Vollmer and their children, 16-year-old Alyssa and 13-year-old Caleb. Funeral services are set for 11 a.m. Friday at Sioux Falls Christian Schools.
A fund has been set up to help Brittany Vollmer to help with future education-related expenses. Checks can be made payable to the Brittany Vollmer Fund, Northwestern College, 101 7th St. SW, Orange City, Iowa 51041 or Sioux Falls Christian Schools, 6120 S. Charger Circle, Sioux Falls, S.D. 57108.
God Bless them all.

Identifying Perceptions Held by North Dakota Residents towards Refugees and the Effects of Refugee Resettlement on North Dakota Communities
On August 6th 2015, WDAY Valley News Live aired "Fargo and West Fargo could see 350 refugees move to cities by the end of September" (Burner 2015), a broadcast that prompted residents of North Dakota to begin an on-line petition against future resettlement of refugees (Valley News Live 2015). The petition is two-fold: signees demand that the state legislature grant residents of North Dakota the right to vote on further refugee resettlement and that Lutheran Social Services (LSS), the non-profit agency that resettles refugees in North Dakota, release all data on funding for refugee programs (Stop Lutheran Social Services in Fargo 2015). As of November 27th 2015, 3,257 residents of North Dakota and residents of other states such as Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio, Florida, Texas, Utah, Kentucky, Washington, Indiana, and Idaho, have signed the petition (Stop refugee resettlement 2015).
An opposing petition was started on August 2015. As of November 27th 2015, 163 residents predominantly from North Dakota and Minnesota have signed the petition. The petition requests that the state legislature, in addition to the 350 refugees resettled in the first half of 2015, bring more refugees into the Cass county area during the remainder of the 2015 fiscal year (Cass County Legislature 2015). Additionally, the signees of the petition declared that, as residents, they "would find more ways to donate to LSS" and as taxpayers, they want to lobby the legislature to donate more of residents' tax money to LSS. In both petitions, signees are given the option to provide an explanation for supporting the petition of their interest.
Perceptions of North Dakota residents towards refugees in North Dakota have not been previously investigated. Unlike prior studies on refugees, North Dakota is an ethnically homogenous, low populated, and a rural state. Studies on immigrants conducted in similar geographic and demographic areas suggest the need for further research. In particular, data on immigrant populations in areas like North Dakota is contradictory. Whereas, a study conducted by Kim (2001) shows that small town ethnically homogenous communities express different degrees of hostility towards strangers and are more likely to act less receptive towards new comers from a "lesser known and more visibly different culture" (P 79), Fennelly and Fedrico (2007) find that rural residents are more supportive of restrictive immigration policies than residents in urban and suburban areas. Therefore, identifying how North Dakota residents view refugees will be helpful to determine which of the aforementioned views are applicable to North Dakota.
My study aims to identify perceptions held by North Dakota residents towards refugees and the effects of refugee resettlement on North Dakota communities. Data for the study will be petitioners' reasons for signing each petition. The study intends to conduct a content analysis by focusing only on the comments made by the North Dakota residents. Intergroup Threat Theory and the concept, relative deprivation will guide the analysis.

CDS and IACD Conference Presentation
I presented some findings of my ongoing research at the Community Development Society (CDS) and International Association for Community Development (IACD) conference held in Bloomington, Minnesota from July 24th to 27th, 2016. The theme of the conference was "sustaining community change- Building local capacity to sustain development initiatives." My presentation was well attended. I received positive feedback to further improve my research.
