There's no single must-do approach to traveling overseas, even less so to an extended stay abroad. The 11 portraits, some joint, that follow reveal the various ways in which individuals have found and made their personal connection between the City of Light (la Ville lumière) and the City of Brotherly Love (la Ville de l'amour fraternel).
1. Benjamin Franklin. A worthy goal of every native English-speaker traveling to Paris would be to channel his or her inner Benjamin Franklin, the Franco-Philadelphian par excellence. That's how I contacted him for the purposes of this article. There's much to be learned from Franklin's wiliness, wisdom and ambition, yet one of his great lessons to a traveler is that it's possible to enjoy the snobbery of good-living in Paris without actually being a snob oneself. Not an easy thing to do since possible to get so caught up in the etiquette of the heirs to the French Court that you begin advocating "the French way" like a sermonizing fundamentalist, to the detriment of the humanist approach that is at the root of most rewarding foreign encounters. Franklin, who lived in France from 1777 to 1785, knew the rules of high society and could be opinionated in his own right, but he managed to charm Parisians and the French on his own terms. Click here for France Revisited's article about Franklin's time in Paris.
2. Heather Stimmler-Hall, author of "Naughty Paris: A Lady's Guide to a Sexy City," grew up in the Philadelphia's western suburbs (Norristown, Skippack) and has lived in Paris since her early 20s. She has fond memories of soft pretzels bought on the side of the road, tomato pie from Italian bakeries, Philadelphia-made Tastykakes, the King of Prussia Mall when it was just one building, and cheese steaks from Palermo's in Blue Bell. As a teen she ventured into downtown Philly to hang out at South Street and Chinatown because they didn't card there at the time. Heather's adult life has largely been spent exploring Paris by day and by night, walking her dogs, and writing extensively about the pleasures and possibilities of Paris. See this interview with Heather.
3. Raphaël Dana, originally from Lyon, went to Philadelphia for six months in 2001 as part of an exchange program for young lawyers between the Lyon and Philadelphia Bars. At 23, he found the city so welcoming and friendly and the work so interesting that he stayed on for another six months. He worked at the law firms Duane Morris then Reed Smith. "The best year of my life," he told me. "I met tremendous people there and am still in contact with most of them." Upon his return to France, Raphaël pursued his law career in Paris. Despite fond memories of the people and the streets of Philadelphia and of the city's great farmer's market, Reading Terminal Market, he admits that it was nice to return to French food and particularly to the variety of French cheeses. Practicing business law, he is a partner at Sarrut Avocats, where he does a significant amount of work in English for international companies doing business in France.
4. Henri, a friend of mine who asked that his last name not be used, is as cultivated, refined, and depressed as any Frenchman you would hope to meet. He is also deeply intrigued by American life. Like Raphaël, Henri went to Philadelphia when he was 23, though in Henri's case that was in the 1980s, when he spent two years in Philadelphia at Wharton, the famed business school at the University of Pennsylvania. In addition to confirming his faith in the free market and the belief that when possible one should work for oneself, it's hard to say how his American experience influenced his life since so much of it seems to be spent dreaming of 18th-century European nobility. Still, he's told me many times that he became a man in the City of Brotherly Love, and though I'm not sure precisely what that means in his case, I suspect that it's something he carries with him to this day.
5, 6. Paul Kleindorfer, Wharton's Anheuser-Busch Professor of Management Science (now emeritus) took the reverse commute when he and his wife Stephanie came to France on sabbatical for the 1999-2000 academic year. As their stay came to an end they vowed to return, and in 2005, after more than 30 years in Philadelphia, they sold their home, packed up, and moved to Paris, where they settled into a "deliriously happy" life in the 6th arrondissement. Stephanie, having worked as a clinical psychologist in Philadelphia, has since become a registered psychologue in France, working for English-speaking clients. Paul, retired from Wharton, is currently doing research and teaching on the area of sustainable development with INSEAD, one of Europe's premier graduate business school, in Fountainebleau. Despite the Anheuser-Busch of his Wharton title, Paul prefers good French wine over beer.
7, 8. Ann Armour and Philip Rakita were living in New Jersey working for separate companies in the chemical industry when, in 1989, Philip was offered a position in the company's headquarters in La Defense, the corporate-heavy suburb of Paris. Ann then inquired about and obtained an assignment there from her company. What they expected to be a 3-4-year assignment for both of them turned out to be a long-term love affair with Paris. When Philip was transferred to Japan in 1992, Ann opted not to take on the role of the "trailing spouse" without work. Too involved in her Parisian life to give it up just yet and looking to put her evolving insights to work, she stayed on. After fulfilling her initial work contract with the chemical company, she switched gears and, with two other Americans, started a company teaching English and business communications skills to French executives. "Dealing with different legal systems, human resource approaches, and starting your own business overseas, tests your ability to cope," says Ann. "I absolutely loved it." Phil returned to Paris after two years in Japan, then in 1997 they moved to Philadelphia's Society Hill neighborhood, secure in the knowledge that they could return often to Paris since by then they owned an apartment here. In 2006 they moved to western North Carolina, where they work together through Armour Associates, a consulting firm in the chemical industry. They continue to make frequent trips to Philadelphia and to Paris, two "very attractive places to go back to," says Ann.
9. After a career as an engineer, Philippe Simionesco (pen name Simiot) took up the mantle of historical fiction started by his father Bernard, who published under the last name Simiot. Bernard created the fictional Carbec family of Saint Malo (Brittany), whom he followed in his first two novels (Ces messieurs de Saint-Malo, Le Temps des Carbec) through important moments in French history in the 17th and 18th centuries. In the third book, Rendez-vous à la malouinière, he leapt to the first half of the 20th century, before returning in book four, Carbec, mon empereur, to the Napoleon and post-Napoleon years of the early 19th century. In 1815, Napoleon's definitive exile led some of his supporters to find haven in the United States, including the fictional Carbec. As Bernard's pen weakened, Philippe took up the project and completed that fourth book, therefore signed Bernard et Philippe Simiot. And so began Philippe's Philadelphia connection as he followed Carbec overseas to do research. He then pursued the saga on his own with Carbec, l'américain. During his research he encountered a real figure in Franco-Philadelphia history, Etienne-cum-Stephen Girard, a Frenchman from Bordeaux who became one of the first U.S.-made millionaires. Stephen Girard then became the narrator of Philippe's most recent historical novel, Le banquier et le perroquet (2006), written in the form of Girard's diary. The title translates as "The Banker and the Parrot," however the book is available only in French (published by Albin Michel, now in Livre de poche). Girard eventually willed his fortune to the city and causes of Philadelphia (particularly Girard College), to the consternation of his cousins in Bordeaux.
10, 11. No Franco-Philly round-up would be complete without a love story. And this one has the added spice of being a Germano-Franco-Philly love story. In 1960, Michael Rutenberg, from Philadelphia, met Brigitte, from near Dusseldorf, when they were both students in Paris. In 1961 Brigitte moved to Philadelphia, Brigitte became an artist, Michael a lawyer, they married, had children, and for about 18 years, as their children were growing up, they summered in the south of France and frequently visited friends in Paris. In 2007, approaching a 50-year love affair with Paris and with each other, they purchased (with a partner) an apartment in the 3rd arrondissement that they now use whenever possible. Brigitte is currently working on her own series of portraits inspired by faces encountered in France. She told me that what she has always appreciated about Paris is that "Parisians know how to enjoy their city." Apparently Philadelphians know how to enjoy it too.

search for a new job
Before announcing the management of their intentions to leave the institution, should be to find a new job.Various interviews and reviewing resumes can take up a lot of time.Where better to spend it without being unemployed.To do this, you can take time off or go to the hospital.
It is important that the impending dismissal did not reach the ears of not only management, but also colleagues.This is especially true if a competing company is regarded as a future place of work.By "defectors" it has always been accepted with distrust, and this in turn can complicate the process of delivery and acceptance of responsibility objects (do
In addition, awareness of the employer will allow it to reduce the amount of severance pay.If your organization has been accepted to provide (and pay for) the annual leave of 40 days, not that celebrated the employee severance payment can be issued only for the two weeks required by law.We should expect also the deprivation of premiums and interest allowances (if any).
The new location is found, the interview completed, it remains only to quit and start working on a new host.But here, many might be waiting a lot of trouble.The main of them - it is a necessity to work for another two weeks after application.
Some organizations allow leave without working out, because it becomes dangerous if not, then at least useless during this period the employee.It is most of the time is to drink tea in the staff room and to delay delivery of production volumes.Why strain if still leave soon?
On the other businesses the lack of employees or the personal qualities of the head may raise the issue mining is particularly acute.Refusing to spend extra days in the same place without a good reason (illness, military service, etc.), The employee violates the Labour Code and is liable to pay for it the ruble.
best option given the situation permits will advance podgadat exit time on vacation and write a statement directly in the days of its inception.Thus, it is possible to receive normal pay for the enterprise and not to return to work after the expiration of rest.
holiday is considered a continuation of the employment relationship.The employee is obliged to work for two weeks before the dismissal and inform the employer of his intentions two weeks.
relations in collective
the above recommendations, it is not necessary to adhere to the organization where between employees and bosses are good trusting relationship.Here, the employee will not put a spoke in the wheel, but rather arrange a warm farewell and may be given a financial allowance.
Of course, this is often necessary to find a candidate to replace themselves and teach him.But so it will be able to maintain a good relationship with the people to whom in life, perhaps, will have to handle.

requiring higher performance in the last weeks before the dismissal must add another important point.Mistake to assume that the departure from the previous place of work completely severs all relation to its activities.Older worker errors can be identified and after his departure.Depending on the degree of violation of these "tails" can serve as a basis for administrative or criminal proceedings.
Therefore, the last few days should be devoted to audit their activities in a particular organization.Detection and elimination of defects (eg, documentation) let free to go to the future without the past experience.

Nelson Mandela as A Strategic Leader

Taboo Scenarios: How to Think About the Unthinkable
Taboos are a universal feature of social systems. Even the most avowedly open-minded organizations place tacit constraints on what can be said and even thought. Business leaders ignore these constraints at their peril. This article by Paul Schoemaker and Phil Tetlock examines the role of the sacred, profane, and taboo in society, and links these phenomena to the psychology of moral outrage.Read more Share

Nepean Hospital parking in unhealthy state
The New South Wales Government has admitted that parking at Nepean Hospital has become intolerable, but cannot say exactly when construction on an expanded car park will begin.
Staff at the hospital in Sydney's west have been complaining that patients are missing appointments because they are unable to find a park.
Local residents say frustrated patients have resorted to parking across their driveways.
The Government has set aside $10 million to expand the car park, but Opposition health spokesman Andrew McDonald says it has not said when the work will start or how many spaces there will be.
"People have been missing appointments, people are late to their shifts. It's just not acceptable, the Minister has known about it for years. And yet in Government not a brick, not a word," Dr McDonald said.
Health Minister Jillian Skinner says construction on the new car park has been held up by other construction projects, but work will begin as soon as possible.
"The problem, I understand, is because there is such a lot of construction work going on at Nepean," Ms Skinner said.
"They're finishing off a major new block and now work has already started on a huge mental health facility on site. It's a matter of being a very crowded site."
Ms Skinner says in the meantime she is looking for an alternative fix to the hospital's parking woes.
"We're trying to find an interim solution, because I sympathise. I know parking is a major problem at Nepean, I've been caught myself and I've spoken to patients who are finding it very frustrating," she said.

How to compute actual rent while computing gross annual value of a property which is let-out throughout the year?
Actual rent means the rent for which the property is let out during the year. While computing actual rent, rent pertaining to vacancy period is not to be deducted. However, unrealised rent (*) is to be deducted from actual rent if conditions specified in this regard are satisfied.
(*) Unrealised rent is the rent of the property which the owner of the property could not recover from the tenant, i.e., rent not paid by the tenant. If following conditions are satisfied, then unrealised rent is to be deducted from actual rent of the year:
➣ The tenancy is bona fide.
➣ The defaulting tenant has vacated the property, or steps have been taken to compel him to vacate the property.
➣ The defaulting tenant is not in occupation of any other property of the taxpayer.
➣ The taxpayer has taken all steps to recover such amount, including legal proceedings or he satisfies the Assessing Officer that legal proceedings would be useless.
Mr. Raj owns a bungalow. Throughout the year 2015-16 the bungalow is rented to Mr. Kumar at a monthly rent of Rs. 84,000. Due to internal dispute, Mr. Kumar did not pay rent for the month of March, 2016. What will the amount of actual rent to be used to compute gross annual value of the property?
Rent for the month of March, 2016 is not received and, hence, unrealised rent will come to Rs. 84,000.
While computing gross annual value of the property, unrealised rent of Rs. 84,000 will be deducted from actual rent. Thus, actual rent to be considered while computing gross annual value will come to Rs. 9,24,000 (Rs. 10,08,000 – Rs. 84,000 unrealised rent). Unrealised rent of Rs. 84,000 will be deducted from actual rent if all the conditions discussed in this regard are satisfied.
If any of the conditions specified in this regard is not satisfied, then while computing gross annual value, actual rent will be taken as Rs. 10,08,000 (i.e., rent for entire year without deducting unrealised rent of Rs. 84,000).

|Love is all flame
Recently, someone asked me if the reason I was so nice and kind was because I did the Steps. She wanted to know if I was saying what I really meant, or if, deep down, I really felt and believed something else and was just saying what I was "supposed to" say as a good person.
Fair question, though, of course, I wanted her to believe me, simply because I had said it.
Generally, folks know me as a person who says what she means.
Or holds my tongue to not say anything. Especially, if it is unkind or cruel.
Rashness is not a part of my history. True, in my past, I have been guilty, at times, of saying things to make someone else happy. To please them or to not hurt their feelings. There was; however, a long time when I parroted what I felt was the right thing to say: what other people told me was the right or proper or correct thing to say and believe. It certainly made it easy, when I was a mimic. And I'm smart, so that made it even better, because I'm intelligent and have a bit of a lawyer streak in me. Since I am also a religious person, I had "God" on my side. Oh, that's comforting, right? All those opinions; all right and proper and tidy. Smug is a word that comes to mind. Smug and self-righteous. Even if well-intentioned.
If I was afraid or hurt or angry, I'd just stuff it down with food or shopping or gossiping...or all the the above. There was, for many years, this big huge lump inside of me that was my anger with myself for not knowing myself and not knowing my own mind and opinion about things. It created this huge fog that filled and surrounded me. Even larger was this other huge lump inside me that was convinced that God was going to smite me and those I loved, because that was what I deserved. Like Thor, but without Chris Hemsworth's looks. A "bring down the hammer god" who likes to smash, destroy, and obliterate: world desolation and fire and death and havoc! Now, supposedly this same God was also all loving and kind; long suffering, full of great mercy and forgiveness. Mind yourself though, Erica, -- God was justifiably quixotic and one wrong thing or going too far over the patience meter and ka-boom! Smite time!
It's hard to live with a God like that. Even if you don't get "smited". Every bad thing feels like a doomsday premonition, "This is just the beginning of what is about to unfold." Granted, I grew up in a home that still fixates on that kind of stuff. Still looks for another rendition of the Flood (but with Fire) or a massive, world-wide replay of what happened to Sodom and Gomorreh. This godview affects your everyday worldview. It becomes your filter of how you see things. Influences your parenting style and how you relate to everything around you, from your spouse, to your friends, and even your dog. I don't know what your view of God or a Higher Power is, but that was mine until the Fall of 2013.
Though I didn't realize it, that was the first big thing that doing my step work taught me: God is bigger and more than I can understand. Allowing God to be that (massively more), for me, gave me the freedom to let God be. Let God be what God is, not what I've made, or supposed, God to be.
God is love. This much is what I know and believe. And it is enough.
The second profound thing through that initial process that I learned was that I am not God. I came to realize that I played "god" a lot. Or at least play the version of god I had created in my head: controlling, judgmental, quixotic, capricious, justified. Oh, sure, some days I could be a gracious and loving god, but more than likely, you were going to screw it up, exhaust my patience meter, and then I could be justifiably angry at you and call down lightening bolts from heaven to smite you, or at the very least, judge you. Hmmm. That was an unexpected bit of uncomfortable self-knowledge, similar to an over-sized hairball. So, I began to practice tolerance and letting God be God and letting me be a real human, whatever that is. I began to let go of the things that I can't control or change and leave that to God as well. Finally, if it wasn't love, I wasn't going to chalk it up to God either, because, for me, first and foremost, God is love.
Thirdly, it became very clear to me that I did not have to have an opinion or a judgment about everything. Could actually choose not to form an opinion. Can let that opinion be "in God's hands" and not mine. Ever. And that was o.k. Talk about freedom! Earth-shakingly profound is what that is to me.
God is love. And if I want to be like God, then I become love as well:
Every action.
Every word.
Every thought.
It is clear that I am not God. What I am is a real human, who loves God and is learning to love her fellow creatures here on this beautiful, abundant world. Maybe one day that love will completely fill me, and I will become infused with pure, divine love, and so then become, as one holy man put it, "all flame". And that holy fire, is perhaps the fire, that shall renew both us and the world. To answer my friend's honest question: these days what you see is what you get with me-- no more masks, not even deep down. That is my deepest hope.
Ever yours,

Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini on Tuesday gave a cool response to a French call for the European Union to take charge of the Rafah border crossing from Egypt into the Gaza Strip.
Frattini, speaking in Berlin after talks with his German counterpart Guido Westerwelle, noted that the Palastinian movement Hamas, which controls Gaza, had in the past ended EU checks carried out at the border.
"The EU has already assumed control of border checks for a time, for example at Rafah," he said.
"The condition (this time) would be that the two sides would have to agree to it."
Westerwelle did not comment on the proposal.
Spain, which currently holds the rotating EU presidency, has said it will unveil a proposal to lift the Israeli blockade of Gaza after the deadly raid on an aid flotilla in international waters last week.
On Sunday, French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said the EU could defuse tensions around Gaza by checking the cargo on ships bound for the Strip as well as the Rafah crossing point.
After talks with Kouchner, British Foreign Secretary William Hague also spoke of how the EU could "help as it has in the past" by ensuring that a flow of needed aid and economic assistance reaches Gaza, while at the same time addressing Israel's concerns that weapons are not coming into the territory.
Hamas said Tuesday it was "not opposed" to European monitoring of Gaza's Rafah border crossing with Egypt or Gaza-bound ships.

Australian woolgrower Murray Picker shows a superfine Merino fleece to UNITED ARROWS senior PR manager Mr Daisuke Kawahigashi (L) and The Woolmark Company Country Manager Japan Toshiya Inoue at the Pickers' family property 'Hillcreston' in Bigga, New South Wales, during the recent farm visit.
(PHOTO: Ray Strange / Newspix).
The two-year partnership symbolises a unique venture between the two high-profile companies, uniting to raise awareness of wool's infinite potential and raise the profile of Merino wool as a luxurious fibre.
UNITED ARROWS is the fastest-growing top-tier retailer in Japan, and with 38 stores across the country plus digital channels, the retailer's plan to place a greater emphasis on Merino wool is a welcome decision.
Not only does UNITED ARROWS trust the natural, biodegradable and renewable fibre, it plans to trace the fibre right back to its source. A delegation from UNITED ARROWS embarked on a provenance research tour and met with Australian woolgrowers in September to help source the most appropriate Merino wool for the retailer's apparel range.
"Wool items will be widely highlighted at UNITED ARROWS for the 2013/14 Autumn/Winter season," UNITED ARROWS Senior Executive Officer Naoki Ota said.
"We visited Australia in September to discover the natural origin of Merino wool, and we are planning to develop promotional activities which tell the benefits and the high level of quality of wool products to Japanese consumers."
In-store promotions across UNITED ARROWS' 38 stores, which start on October 15, will highlight the collaboration as well as wool's inherent benefits, and advertising in two high-profile Japanese publications will be released during October to further promote this. Customers who purchase wool items over 10,000JPY during the in-store promotional campaign will also receive a UA Knitted Cap (limited number available).
The retailer will also turn to online and social media networks to emphasise the story between UNITED ARROWS and wool, including a short film hosted on the retailer's website NiCE UA (from October 15) detailing how wool is grown in Australia and then the process the fibre undergoes before it reaches a customer's hands.
The Woolmark Company's Merino Wool. No Finer FeelingTM campaign aims to inform a new generation of consumers - and the fashion community - about the natural attributes and benefits of Merino wool. The campaign establishes Merino wool as the fibre of choice for fine, contemporary fashion and the new venture with UNITED ARROWS will raise wool's profile within the Japanese market.
"The Woolmark Company is proud to be partnering with UNITED ARROWS, sharing the rich history and provenance stories of Australian Merino wool with a country that places great respect on history and tradition," explains The Woolmark Company CEO Stuart McCullough. "We hope that the collaboration allows Japanese consumers to enjoy the modern beauty and versatility of Merino wool."

What Type of Theme is Avada?
Before we get started, it's important to note that there are two ways of thinking when it comes to WordPress concept theme design: styles should be built for a specific kind of web page, with an acceptable set of personalization choices and restricted additional functionality; compared to creating a multi-purpose concept theme such as many features, page layouts, personalization configurations and choices as possible in order to allow you to build any kind of web page with just one concept theme program.
Build your next site with Avada DEMO DOWNLOAD GET HOSTING
- Choose a Hosting: When you opting for a web hosting, you want to feel much better about the company from day one. Bluehost is the assistance we've found that provides satisfaction that your site is in excellent arms. It's cost-effective costs and efficient assistance are two huge aspects that make it a great buy, plus their client support care is spot-on, 24/7, and extremely helpful. For a limited time you can get hosting at Bluehost for 40% off. GET 40% OFF HOSTING »
- Choose a Domain: When picking a domain you get to put on your creative hat. The available domains are fewer and farther between, so think up a few ideas you like and then check their availability at Bluehost. Best of all… at " Bluehost your domain is free ".
- Install WordPress: At some hosts you have to manually install WordPress. Not at Bluehost. Just log into your dashboard and click the install button and everything is take care of for you.
- Install Your Theme: Now for the fun part. Choose your favourite theme from this list and follow these directions on how to install it.
WordPress is used on 23% of all websites in the world. There is all kind of websites running on WordPress and they all need a theme that can fit their requirement. Avada is well known as the change military blade of WordPress styles. It has gained this popularity by providing a variety of features built with the concept theme. The full list of features is actually much longer than this, however, here are some of the highlights of the type of features Avada theme offers:
- Custom page builder tool with a large selection of elements
- All demo content and separate pre-built page templates
- Video backgrounds for full width containers
- Side headers (left or right as opposed to just top headers)
- Set header background opacity with independent widths
- Custom background colors and images for individual columns, posts, and pages
- Background image blur and fading effect on scroll
- Testimonial, portfolio, and skills publishing tools
- Built-in styles for popular plugins (WooCommerce and Gravity Forms)
Unlimited Designs
Avada concept theme comes with endless designs choices. It allows you to create almost any style eliminate the need of several designs. There is a very easy to use concept theme choices board that allows you to choose endless designs and colors. Making it possible to use a popular concept theme and still have a style that is exclusively yours.
Fully Responsive
Cellular and tablets make a large slice of internet visitors. This is why every website needs to be sensitive so that it looks good on more compact displays. Avada is completely responsive out of the box. It also allows you to modify the size of the bins and containers possessing the responsive layout structure.
Avada is completely compatible for WooCommerce system. The incorporation is very wonderful and gives you enough resources to add squeeze pages, blog area, profile, or another kind of content you want to add.

This plug-in has slider mobile phones, choices, short codes, and full-fledged contemporary web page designer. Apart from that, you also get Revolution Slider, Layer Slider, Parallax Fusion Slider, Elastic Slider, are all delivered with the concept. Making it possible wonderful web site with slider mobile phones and CSS 3 animated graphics.
The Avada Theme Options Control Panel
Now obviously you won't want to use the whole demo edition for your website. Therefore it may need to visit the concept choices control panel to start customizing the overall look and performance of your site.
As you can see, the concept choices cpanel is something to look at and gives you accessibility to plenty of different choices for personalizing and re modeling your site. To get the most from Avada you should probably invest a while going through the choices. However, when you're just getting began, a better strategy might be to identify any configurations you want to change as required — rather than getting lost in the backend of your website.
The Fusion Page Builder Tool
Avada comes complete with its own exclusive web page designer device tool, which can be used to develop a new publish or web page. The interface of the device for building the site layouts is actually user-friendly. The first step is to choose a line column structure, after which you can then begin to fill the structure with material.
When it comes to including that material, you can place any of the many designer components into the structure and then personalize them for you personally. The layouts can get as innovative as you need, helping you to add several series, each with their own line structure.
Elements can be included into each of the content and series, helping you to develop wealthy webpages that really do escape of the restrictions of the standard WordPress manager.
While you don't get a live frontend review of your work as you use the designer, you can easily preview your publish or web page just as you would a normal piece of material in WordPress.
Through the builder designer you can also save any layouts you make for re-use, or implement one of the pre-built layouts available.

Final Thoughts
Avada is concept theme that is dense with configurations, choices, functions, and even exterior plug-ins, such as LayerSlider WP and Revolution Slider. The program comes with an amazing web page designer tool that itself has a large choice of pre-built layouts to get you up and operating as soon as possible.
However, despite the demo material, the personal web page layouts, and the beneficial customer certification, it's important not to ignore the project of perfecting Avada. At times these styles can cope like whole other software that rests on top of WordPress, improving almost every function and factor, and including a range of personalization configurations and choices into the mix!
If you are considering this concept theme I think it's important that you realize what you're getting before making the ultimate choice. However, if you are able to put in some work to accept all that Avada provides, then the restrictions regarding what type of web page you can develop with this concept theme are, as the marketing material implies: basically endless.
To get a better concept of what Avada can do for your site, head on over the Themeforest and take a look at the official Avada demo site.

Behold Angst Kills The African Rat - Poem by alexander opicho
Once upon a time in the city of Omurate
In the southern part of Ethiopia
Omurate that is on Ethiopian boundary with Kenya
There were two prosperous animal families
Living side by side as good neighbours
in glory and pomp of riches
Each family was ostensibly rich
And rambunctious in social styles
They were the families of African rat family
And the Jewish cat family; the city belonged to them
They all enjoyed stocks of desert scorpions from Todanyang
From the savanna desert of Northern Kenya,
The two families also enjoyed to feed on desert locusts
On which they regularly fed without food squabbles
Locust themselves they flew from Lowarang to Omurate
From Lowarang a desert region in Kenya, to their city of Omurate
Sometimes the Jewish cat family enjoyed an extra dish
In form of puff adder flesh, especially the steak of the puff adder muscle
Puff adder were cheaply available in plenty at the lakeshore,
Lakeshores of Lake Turkana
At point which river Ormo enters into Lake Turkana
So the cat was happy and relaxed
Even it rarely mewed,
Neighbours never often heard its mewing sound
The rat also enjoyed plenty of milk with no strain
Easily gotten from the rustled cattles
Cattle rustled by the Merilee; a warrior tribe in Omurate.
That day the cat had gulped milk since morning
Even its stomach was bulging
Like that of Kenyan state officer
The rat had milk all over the house
In the kitchen, milk allover
In the sitting room, milk in abundance
In the wash, room milk all through
On the bed, milk and stuffs of milk
The rat was bored with nothing to be enticed
Sometimes plenty of milk can become a bother
The rat mused to itself in foolish African empathy
That may be the cat is starving in pangs of hunger
With nothing to drink, or may be it has no milk
When the milk is rotting here in my house
It is un-African for food to rot in your house
When the neighbour's belly is not full,
On these thoughts the rat washed its legs, and hands
Finished up with its face,
Put on its white short trouser and a green top
It stuffed its tail inside its white short trouser,
The rat poured milk into two pots,
each pot was full to the brim
It carried one in its left hand
And balance another on its head
In its right hand was an African walking stick
For the elders known as Pakora
The rat took off to the home of the cat
In full feat of animal love and philanthropy
Whistling its favourite poem;
An Ode to a good neighbour,
Walking carefully lest it spills brimful milk,
It entered into the house of the cat without haste
Neither knocking nor waiting to be told come in
In that spectacular charisma of a good neighbour,
When the cat saw the rat it giggled two short giggles
And almost got choked by indecision
For it had been long since this happened,
Since the cat had dine on milk leave alone rat meat
The rat said to the Jewish cat that my brother
Have milk I have brought for you
Have it and sip here it is; the real milk,
In devilish calmness the cat told the rat;
Put it for me on the table, thank you,
But my friend Mr. rat don't go away; there is more
More for you to help me in addition to milk,
Continue my brother Mr. Cat, how can I help you?
Don't call me your brother; bursted the cat,
For it is long since I ate the rat meat
And you know rat meat is our stable food
In a frenetic feat of powerlessness the rat was confused
In attempt to save itself
it pleaded that my dear elder, I was
Only having plenty of milk in my house
And to us African rats, it is a taboo
To have a lot of food in your house
When the neighbour's belly is not full
So I only brought you the present of Milk
Please have it and drink,
Without taciturnity the Cat retorted in persistence;
I know and I am thankful for your good manners
But remember with us Jewish cats it is heinous sin
Forget of a taboo, it is blasphemy against the living
God for one of us to leave the rat free from our house
For you rats are the only stable and kosher food God blessed for us
The Jewish rat family all over the world
So shut up your mandibles, I am to eat you first
Then I will take milk later as a relish.
With its herculean paw the cat crushed the rat
With mighty of the leopard culture
Throwing away the white trouser
And green top from the torso of the rat
The cat ate the rat with voracity of the devil
After which it punctuated its mid day appetite
With slow and relaxed sipping of milk
Slowly and slowly as it felt its internal greatness
And hence the African proverbial that;
Behold foolish angst kills the African rat!

The Wine Bistro - Clintonville - Permanently Closed Ratings and Reviews
Hors d'oeuvre offered on the menu was not available due to "transition". Baked brie was pretty good. Entrees were rudely slammed onto the table by server. Wine ordered from the menu was indifferent but inexpensive. Entrees were uninspired. The table top itself was sticky.
This was our favorite of the Wine Bistros, diet enough for conversation and congeniality to take place with good service, a pleasant ambiance, and a quite a varied wine selection. It had become a regular stop for us and our friends, so we will miss it. The other Wine Bistro we'd tried was not so congenial, so we're looking for other venues.
Sayonara, Clintonville Bistro.
We went following daughter's graduation. We were seated right at our reservation time and service was excellent. The menu isn't huge but offers something for everyone. Wine selections were good and affordable. Our entrees were all delicious, but the fondue appetizer was a bit lackluster. Overall it was a great experience and I will return.
Food and service were great, however the noise level was not. We were on a date and were seated at a small table between 2 larger groups and could hardly hear each other talking. It was not the atmosphere/evening we were looking for to enjoy our bottle of wine.
Usually the food is good, this time mine was just OK.
There was way too much garlic and it blew out my taste buds and ruined the rest of my meal and evening. BTW, this is a meal I get quite often at The Wine Bistro so I know whereof I speak.
Also, there are bread plates on every table but you always have to ask for the bread.
I still enjoy the place and will go back. :-)
My wife and I went for wine and dessert, so we cannot comment on the main menu, but the atmosphere was great for an evening together without the kids so we could talk and enjoy time together sipping on wine. Unlike some places their "by the glass" wine selection offered a large selection. Although we didn't have anything on the main menu, the the food at the surrounding tables looked very good. This was a great find.
Our group of 4 ladies have been here several times and always enjoy this restaurant. There is a good wine list, and two of us enjoyed a flight of red wines. One friend ordered the Mediterranean popcorn appetizer to share with our party. Two of us ordered a mixed greens salad. I added the caramelized salmon to the salad and enjoyed every bite! One of the ladies always orders an appetizer meatball to accompany her salad. We had good service from the wait staff and plan to return again soon.
After I got seated, and was asked what drink would I order, I asked the attendant to please return in 2 mins to take my order.
I didn't see her again or anyone else for over 13mins.
Was the restaurant busy that day? NO. It was on a Monday.
I and my colleague got up and left the restaurant for another restaurant.
And as we left, no one asked us why we were leaving or have we been attended to. Never again will I patronize this place or even recommend it. It's appalling.
Perhaps, I may have been treated this way cos of my race. This is deplorable.
Been going to the Wine Bistro since it opened in this location and have not had a bad experience. The food is a bit pricy but is delicious without being overly fussy. The service has always been good and if I give a random-word description and price for wine, they always seem to nail what I'm looking for. I've been to this location twice since being diagnosed with celiac disease. I talked to the manager the first time prior to coming in and was assured that I would be taken care of. That promise has been kept on both occasions since then. Both times our server has been Craig. He never made me feel as if my diet restrictions were odd or an inconvenience. He made both wine and food suggestions that were spot on and even made adjustments where necessary. If I asked about certain gluten free options, his answers were precise and non-judgmental. I have always left happy and I've never been sick afterwards. I not only feel safe eating at the Wine Bistro but I feel like I can trust the people who work there...especially Craig!
Do not go to the Wine Bistro if you want to use a VISA Gift card!
The food was wonderful, the service was great. It was a wedding anniversary celebration with a sibling who was married in the same month as I was. When I went to pay the bill, I was told that I could not use a Visa Gift Card because, "their system is not able to process a Visa Gift Card."
I am still a bit teed, but I will go back.
While and drink are great here. I am sensitive to the attitudes of the manager and the wait staff to their customers and themselves. Chip has done a good job selecting a team that seem to get along and work together during crushes. Joe and Christina and Tanisha(sp) really work hard as I noticed the rest of the crew when I was there. Sorry, I don't know all the names. Always a pleasure eating here. I am running through the menu!
This is a regular date-night spot and also a favorite for laid-back girls night. I've never had anything I didn't like to eat: flatbreads, lettuce wraps, salads, fondue, everything is tasty. Millions of wine options if you want to buy a bottle; but plenty of options by the class, including tasting flgihts. Really nice decor/atmosphere; call it "eclectic rustic". I never hesitate to recommend the Wine Bistro in my neighborhood.

Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) replaces stamp duty land tax (SDLT) for land transactions and leases relating to land in Scotland as from today, 1 April. LBTT is very similar to SDLT in most ways, but there are significant differences in relation to key reliefs such as sub-sale relief and significant additional compliance obligations in relation to leases.
The rates of LBTT payable on non-residential transactions for each tranche of consideration are as follows (with the individual figures for each tranche being added together to produce the total tax charge on a progressive basis):

LBTT on the rent payable under non-residential leases is calculated (like SDLT) on the net present value of the rent at the following rates (again on the progressive basis outlined above):

For leases, not only must a land transaction return be made and tax paid upon grant, a new return must be submitted, and if necessary any extra tax must be paid, every three years during the term of the lease taking into account any changes to the rent in the preceding period. So if a lease contains a rent review in year five, it is likely that there will be no additional LBTT due alongside the land transaction return to be submitted at the end of year three (assuming it isn't a turnover lease). However if there is then a rental uplift at the year five rent review, there will be additional tax payable following the tax review at the end of year six. Similar returns and payments must also be made each time a lease is assigned and on the termination of a lease. With such additional reporting requirements, tenants should be very careful to keep all LBTT paperwork together over the life of the lease.

I love giving gifts.
I mean LOVE.
When I pick out the perfect gift for someone I love, I get all giggly and excited. I cannot wait to see the look on her face or hear her reaction when she opens it. It's such a YAY! moment and definitely the very best part of the holiday season.
Because gift-giving means so much to me, I like to carefully pick what I get for the people I love most. Sometimes it takes me an eternity to find what I know will be adored, but it's worth the search.
And I'm not looking for the most expensive gift or the flashiest gift. I'm not impressed by bling. I am looking for the most meaningful gift. The kind of gift that makes a friend smile from ear to ear because it's just what she wanted or needed (even if she didn't realize it).
This year, in an effort to spare you from some of the time and stress it takes to find the right gift, I have created a list of holiday gifts that any girl (and maybe even guy) will love. Whether it's your homegirl, a neighbor, your daughter, a cousin, your mom, or any other woman you care about, I think this list will help.
There is a little something for everyone, and they are all items that can make this thing called life a little bit sweeter for someone that matters to you.
Happy shopping!
Ink + Volt 2017 Planner
I have a confession to make. I am a "planner whore." Every 6 months, I start hunting for a new planner to use until I find one that makes my soul smile. I've used many planners over the years that I have loved, but my choice for 2017 is the Ink + Volt Planner. I actually found out about this planner through my husband and we both plan to use it in the coming year. I'll be using it in conjunction with my Create a Life you Love Goal Setting Guide. Like many of you, I love doing things digitally, but there is something to be said for a good notebook and pen. Sometimes, I need to flip pages. If you have a friend who would benefit from an awesome planner in 2017, give this one a try.
CandidBelle Tees & Lifestyle
(Starting at $16)
We are family here, so let me be honest with you. Earlier this year, I started a new brand called CandidLiving. A couple of months ago, I made the tough decision to hit the pause button on that brand for a number of reasons. The biggest reason is that I got pregnant with my third child and managing that online shop, CandidBelle, my speaking, writing for numerous sites, and working on my book was just too much. Something had to take a backseat. But I decided to take my most popular CandidLiving items and offer them through CandidBelle because I love you (almost as much as I love t-shirts). You will find tees, mugs and artwork that make great gifts for yourself or the women in your life!
Fitbit Charge 2
For the last 2 years, I have been a Fitbit fanatic. I wear it all the time and I get pretty pissed off if I forget to charge it. The Fitbit Charge 2 is one of the newest Ftbit devices and it's a great way to motivate yourself to stay fit. It's also easy to enter friendly competitions with all your peeps who also use Fitbit (I bet more of your friends use it than you realize). And I also love that it syncs with the free MyFitnesPal app, as well as several other fitness apps. Great gift for anyone who's mentioned that they want to put fitness first in 2017.
Make My Notebook
(prices vary)
I recently discovered Make My Notebook and I think it's such a cool company. Allowing you to customize notebooks, you can create the perfect journal or notebook for someone you love. I am actually in love with this company so much, I plan on working with them to create journal in 2017. Below is a notebook I currently have and I adore it. They make pretty awesome stuff.
Chicken Soup for the Soul: Curvy & Confident: 101 Stories about Loving Yourself and Your Body
(Pre-order on Amazon for $13.67)
I want to scarem from the rooftops about this one, but I will play it cool. An essay I wrote is featured in this soon-to-be-released Chicken Soup for the Soul book, so of courseI think this gift choice is perfection. Women everywhere can really benefit from reading about how other women developed self-confidence and reached that amazing place of self-love. A great and affordable gift to share with all the women in your life, I think this is a great pick and I am so proud to have my work published in this book.
Marriage Tees
(prices vary)
Marriage Tees was founded by my friends Ronnie & Lamar Tyler from Black and Married With Kids. It's a great online shop offering a number of t-shirts for people who are all about that married life. It's a great gift to get for a special friend and her boo. And Marriage Tees never diappoints with their sales, so be sure to check out their site this weekend.
Love With Food
(starts at $7.99/month)
My best friend got me a Love With Food subscription when the company was relatively new and I just adored getting those boxes filled with goodies every month. It's always nice getting anything in the mail that's not a bill, and if you are a foodie like me, getting snacks in the mail is a special treat. The treats are tasty and are often items I never even heard of. I love the brand, I love their mission (ending childhood hunger), and I love the snacks. If you know a woman who loves a great snack and a great cause, check this company out.I have given this to several friends as a Christmas gift and no one has ever been disappointed.
One Hope Wine
(prices vary)
One Hope Wine is a cause-centric wine brand that I love so much, I started working with them a few years ago. Although my schedule doesn't allow me to do too much with One Hope, I truly love the brand's mission and think it's pretty awesome that by buying a bottle of wine, you are also giving to one of many important social causes. They are offering a great sale this weekend and it doesn't end until Monday. I'm talking 40% off a purchase of 3 or more bottles of wine and free shipping if you buy 6 or more bottle. Sweet, right? Get a bottle for all your girlfriends (except for me because I'm pregnant…LOL).
Thrive Market
(prices vary)
I try to encourage the people I love to make healthy food choices without being preachy. I love a good slice of pizza or a piece of chocoate, but I also know that I can't eat like that daily, I have to be mindful of what I place in my body. That's why I think Thrive Market is awesome. It gives you a convenient way to make wise food choices at a reasonable price. You really can't beat it. Check it out for yourself, or grab a gift card for someone you love.
(prices vary)
Offering stationery sets, cards, wall art and more, Minted products just make you feel good about life. What I love most about their products are the clean, beautiful designs. I ordered my holiday cards through Minted two years ago and they were a hit! Truly beautiful stuff and great gifts for your friends.
Stitch Fix Gift Card
(Starts at $20)
I adore Stitch Fix. A great service for ladies who would love a personal stylist but don't have a ton of cash to actually hire one. I love every Stitch Fix item I ever purchased, and I think a Stitch Fix gift card will make any girl happy.
The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles by Steven Pressfield
($11.01 on Amazon)
I tried my best to read more this year and this is one of the books that had the biggest impact on me. In The War of Art, Pressfield helps you dig deep so you can uncover what's blocking you from achieving greatness and winning your inner creative battles. A quick and meaningful read, I would recommend this book for anyone who feels stuck or frustrated with where they are in life and wants to figure out how to win the battle.
Hallmark Ornaments
($6.99 and up)
I have been in love with Hallmark cards and products since I was a child. I would actually flip over gift cards to see if the person giving it cared enough to give me a Hallmark card. I was a bit obsessive about it…LOL. And last year, Hallmark as added Mahogony ornaments to their selection and love them (the image below is one of my favorites). The perfect gift for the women in your life who deserve to be celebrated this holiday season.
(prices vary)
DaySpring offers an amazing collection of faith-based products that can add a ray of light to the lives of the people you love most.

Not anymore, Founded by Tara Jefferson, The Bloom Beautifully Self-Care Box is an amazing subscription service that allows you to receive a monthly themed box of self-care items–encouraging you to put your needs first!

What was the last crafty challenge you played? This week's StampTV MIUM challenge, hosted by Cathy Tidwell, is so minimal, it should be quick and easy! "It takes two, only two!" I made this Hanukkah design for my stepfather with GKD Pure Luxury Little Boy Blue and Blue Denim cardstock, and GKD Blue Denim ink. TIP: Stamping off help create a third "shade" although it's still just two colors! I used the dashed border from Fabulous Frame Fillers* and the sentiment and Star of David from my Fabulous Holiday Fillers set. Dies come from the Spellbinders Matting Basics B set. I did a little sponging with the Blue Denim ink at the corners as well to help set the popped up mats apart. I also added just a touch of the clear Wink of Stella glitter pen for sparkle.
I hope you'll play along, challenges help you grow! (and possibly grow your crafting stash with some prizes! Good luck!) Be sure to use the tag STV14MON42 when you upload to the StampTV gallery and refer to this post for challenge rules. Have a great day!
