Are you tired of sitting around drifting through life? Life not working out? You can change that.
It's 2015! It's time to get over your fear. Any fear of loss… fear of hardship… fear of success… Whatever it is that you fear right now. It's time to get over it and build the life you want!
Say it out loud: I CHOOSE FREEDOM OVER FEAR!
In 2015, it starts with knowing what you want and understanding the true nature of what is stopping you.
The majority of what is stopping you is all mental. It's all in your head. You must have absolute commitment to get what you want. Start from where you are with no excuses. Whether you think there is not enough money, time, or whatever else you feel is stopping you… It's all B.S. There is always a way to get it done.
Remember: ACTION aligns the Universe's power behind your efforts to reach your goals.
We want three things: PURPOSE, PROSPERITY, and the FREEDOM to enjoy them. What do you want out of life this year? How willing are you to do whatever it takes to make it happen?
What do you have to do to get everything you want? It's time to step up and move into the future.
It's 2015! Time to change. Time to be yourself. Take all problems, the pain, the nervousness, the negative. Time to take that and release it and move forward. Time to create a life of abundance. A life that is YOU!
There is no fear. Fear is an illusion and it's the only thing stopping you.
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
-Franklin D. Roosevelt
In 2015, this is the awareness we need to create. Fear is exactly what we have to grow bigger than. And it doesn't happen by hiding, or making excuses, or just letting life happen. We are going to do that by facing them. By realizing that fear stops us and is the only thing standing in the way of getting what you want.
Fear of the opinion of others… That you're not good enough… And whatever else your mind has created to stop you.
In the past, fear use to save our lives. Thousands of years ago, fear kept our ancestors from getting eaten. But fear is no longer useful. How many things do you fear everyday that won't kill you? How many times do you stop yourself from living because you fear something that has no power? Fear just isn't useful or true anymore. Probably 80-90% of your fears fall in this category. Maybe more…
In our minds, we project the possibilities of what can happen and fear the outcomes that we assume to be true but just aren't likely. People fear public speaking more than they fear death! Ridiculous! Everything we are is built on a fear bias from when we are young. We were told to fall in line… you shouldn't do this, you shouldn't do that… that's not normal…
We are have different stories behind our fears. But the truth is that most of your fears are unfounded. They don't really mean anything.
Today I want you to think about your perfect life. Things that you could make happen if you just overcame your fear. If you let your true self shine through above and beyond your fears. Let your personality, beliefs and desires grow bigger than your fears.
You don't have to believe everything I say, but if you can find something in what I say that excites you, take it and make it your own. That's how you'll become the absolute best of yourself this year. Take life by the horns and make it what you want!

ANSONIA-The pitching mound has been rebuilt, a visitor's bullpen has been built and the grass has been mowed.
"Nolan Field's ready," said Greg Martin, the city's director of constituent services. "We're hoping the turnout makes this an annual event."
For the first time in nearly a century a non-high school baseball game will be played on Nolan Field when Sacred Heart University hosts the University of Albany.
Gates for the 5 p.m. first pitch will open at 3 p.m.
"The early birds will be able to watch batting and fielding practice," said Martin
The Coastal Chordsmen will sing the national anthem, America The Beautiful and Take Me Out to the Ballgame.
"They're going to serenade Sacred Heart when the Pioneers take the field by singing 'You Got to Have Heart.," Martin said .
And the first pitch? That will be thrown by Bobby Valentine, who took his Rippowam baseball exploits to the major leagues where he played for the California Angels, Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres, New York Mets and Seattle Mariners during a 10-year career. After his playing days were over, Valentine managed the Mets, Boston Redsox and Texas Rangers. Valentine is now Sacred Heart's athletic director
Donning catching rather than boxing gear will be Mayor David Cassetti.
So how does the former New England Regional Amateur Boxing Champion and boxing coach expect to make the transition?
"I'll do very good," Cassetti predicted. "I've got fast reflexes and honed very good defense methods."
Besides he said "I've always been a fan of Bobby Valentine. I'm looking forward to meeting him."
It's been nearly 100 years since the St. Louis Cardinals, led by Rogers Hornsby, one of baseball's greatest hitters, and reliever Lou North, an Ansonia resident, played a benefit game at Nolan with proceeds going to the field's renovation.
"Back then Nolan was just a spartan field," said Richard Marazzi, an Ansonia author, sports historian and major league baseball rules consultant.. "They raised some pretty good money to help make it the complex it is today."
With Hornsby delivering two hits and North pitching three shutout innings (striking out seven), the Cardinals beating a team of Valley all-stars sponsored by the Ansonia Elks on Aug. 6, 1922.
But it was the arrest of Mayor John C. Mead that drew headlines.
Mead's crime? He allowed baseball with paid admission on a Sunday.
The warrant was issued after 85 people, mostly ministers, petitioned for the game to be canceled which Mead refused.
The charge against Mead was dropped about a week after the game, when no one showed up to testify in court. As he left the courthouse, Mead said he hoped his case would change the law "which makes criminals out of people who attend Sunday baseball games."
Sacred Heart lost its home field last summer, when Bridgeport decided to turn the Ballpark at Harbor Yard — where the Atlantic League Bluefish played — into an amphitheater.
"I'm hoping for a big turnout," Cassetti said. "This will be the catalyst for an annual Division 1 college baseball game to be played here."
This season, the Pioneers are playing home games outside of Greater Bridgeport, mostly at Central Connecticut State University and New Britain Stadium, which once served as home to the Eastern League's New Britain Rock Cats.
And Sacred Heart's roster has attracted the attention of major league scouts. Last summer Troy Scribner, a 2013 SHU graduate, pitched 10 games for the Los Angeles Angels, making him the first Pioneer in the major leagues.
"This is the next best thing to bringing a professional ball game to an intimate, hometown, backyard setting," said Martin, who once served as general manager for the Pittsfield (Mass.) Colonials minor league team.
Michael Guastelle, SHU's senior assistant athletic director, said the team is filled with state players, including P.J. DeFilippo, of Bridgeport, Anthony Capozziello, of Orange, Jake Frasca, of Darien, Jackson Aldam, of Danbury, James Taubl, of New Haven, and Dan Shock, of Cheshire.
"We see this as a unique opportunity to showcase our team to a local crowd," Guastelle said. "We'll see how it works out."
Martin estimated the one time cost of field improvements at between $5,000 to $8,000. He hopes to recoup it by selling sponsor banners on the fences and admission. Tickets will be sold at the game with adults paying $5 and seniors at 60 and older and students paying $3.
"Our lights are as good as those in Class A Minor League, and our infield was totally redone last summer with new clay and grass," Martin said.

The Lion
This morning I had a very prophetic dream. I can barely remember any of the actual details of the dream, except that there was a lion with it's mouth open and I heard these words, "The lion's mouth is never shut". When I woke up, those words just kept running through my head. The lion's mouth is never shut. The lion's mouth is never shut. Then suddenly I felt within my spirit, something telling me that God is the lion, and His mouth is never shut because He is always looking out for me. He is always fighting the enemy off on my behalf. The Lion's mouth is never shut!
Wow! What a vision! I thought about this more and more. And I feel like God is just trying to remind us that no matter what things appear like, no matter how broken your life may seem, He is watching and waiting. His mouth is open wide and He is attacking the enemy without you even realizing it. He has saved you over and over. He has kept you from car wrecks and other bad situations that you didn't even see coming. You have no idea what almost happened. He's working in the background, when you think He has forgotten about you. So, as hard as it may seem, please try to focus on the unseen instead of what you see with your own eyes. Praise God for bringing you through all the storms that you've gone through. And praise Him for bringing you through the ones you knew nothing about!
I'm Amanda and a Christian homeschooling Mom to 4 awesome boys from ages 4 to 20.
I have an amazing, supportive husband, a passion for encouraging others in their faith, and helping new homeschoolers find their way through their journey.
Thank you for stopping by and getting to know me better.

I was lucky enough to be offered a position at NTS. It was the same company that helped me with my practicum. My employment there has been great. The staff and employees are wonderful and very kind.
Of course being a first year medical typist means there is still much medical knowledge I need to gain but the staff has been completely supportive of me, and I am grateful for that. I am also able to use the skills that I have learned from CanScribe and apply them to my work. Future CanScribe graduates will have a great chance of successfully acclimating to the medical transcribing world with the lessons provided by your school.

COVID-19 & The New Normal
A little about peptides...
Peptides are strings of amino acids, held together by nitrogen and carbon bonds. In the skin, peptides occur naturally to keep the skin firm. In skin care products, lab-created peptides work from the inside out to address a host of facial issues, especially wrinkles.
Peptides are non-invasive ingredients that have been proven to produce results, so they are great options for incorporating into a skin care regimen. Know, however, that peptides are not quick and magic potions. Their one drawback is that they take time because they build from within the skin, not from peeling the outer surface. The positives of this approach: stronger skin, less or no irritation, and no free-radical stimulation.
To choose the proper products to maximize your anti-aging skincare routine, please contact me for a free 15 minute consultation, or better yet, try a signature facial.

Shedding Light on LED Facials
What is an LED or PhotoFacial?
LED therapy is a skin care treatment that uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) of various colors, normally red, blue, and infrared, to maintain healthy skin. LEDs produce a low-powered glowing light, which is positioned to shine onto the face or other area being treated. No heat is produced by the LEDs, and it should not be confused with laser therapy. The skin benefits of different colors of LED light have been identified through a broad array of studies. The most often cited study is the Whelan study, published in 2001 by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, which found that LED light helped speed up wound healing.
What Can I Expect?
No special preparation is necessary. Simply arrive to your appointment on time, relax, and enjoy the treatment. After cleansing your skin I may also apply a serum or other facial products to enhance the benefits of your session, depending on your goals and the range of treatments offered.
The LED device will be positioned on your skin, or up to a few inches away. Your eyes will be covered so that the light does not bother you. Relax and rest while the glow of the LEDs bathes your skin. Typically, no sensation is felt. Some people may feel a slight tingling, or see flashes in their vision temporarily as a result of having a light source close to their face. Keeping your eyes closed and covered during the treatment will help.

Spotlight on Hyperpigmentation
Dark Spots have been the topic of the week in the studio, so here's a little info on the subject.
Over time many people will develop dark or brown spots on their skin, especially if they've spent much time outdoors or have experienced some sort of trauma to skin. The term for these spots is hyperpigmentation, which simply means an excess of pigment in the skin.
Often an early sign of aging, they sometimes first appear on the backs of hands or on the cheeks. These spots can be faded, but patience for the process is required because repeated treatments will be necessary. Hyperpigmentation arises when melanin in the epidermis responds to stimuli by increasing production in the outer skin and becoming visible at the skin's surface. Regularly scheduled professional treatments, combined with a proper home care regimen, can calm the production of melanin and lighten the skin. Proper use of sunscreen is vital to maintaining lightening benefits
Hyperpigmentation comes in many forms:
Some common pigmentation causing injuries include: abrasions, cuts, and wounds; acne lesions and cysts,excoriations (picking pimples); aggressive chemical exfoliation (peels); aggressive extraction; ingrown hairs; insect bites; scratching; sunburn; and waxing.
Hyperpigmentation can be caused by certain prescription drugs, like antibiotics, antidepressants, barbiturates (depressants), and chemotherapy drugs. Some over-the-counter laxatives with phenolphthalein and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), like ibuprofen, can cause hyperpigmentation. Be sure to disclose your use of these drugs on consultation with your esthetician before beginning any treatment.
There is another type of hyperpigmentation that is more subtle, and appears as an overall darkening of the skin, rather than in patches and spots. This condition should always be checked by a dermatologist, as it may indicate disease or a systemic problem, like Addison's disease or scleroderma.
As a member of Associated Skin Care Professionals (ASCP), your esthetician is prepared to help address questions you have about your skin and to work with you to determine the most useful care that meets your needs. The treatment of brown spots can be highly effective, but it takes a bit of time. Professional treatments for hyperpigmentation may include chemical exfoliation, microdermabrasion, or LED Phototherapy in combination with topical products. Or, topical treatments may be used alone.
Your esthetician can best determine what will bring you the greatest results. Again, following the directions for home care after professional treatments is very important to your success. Make the most of the time and money you've invested in your treatments by following up on your esthetician's instructions.

Tale of Two Cities
The story of two Greek cities, Thessalonica and Berea, show us what we experience today – some people say "yes" to Jesus and some people say "no" to Jesus. So, what determined the different responses to Jesus in Thessalonica and Berea? It's not exactly clear but Luke seems to point to how people responded to the Scriptures in the two cities. Those who said "yes" to Jesus did so because they "searched the Scriptures day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth." Those who said "no" to Jesus refused to accept the witness of the Scriptures about Jesus. All this tells us the importance of using Scripture when we tell people about Jesus, and the importance of having a teachable, open mind and soft heart toward God. Which leads us to two important principles when telling others about Jesus: 1) Importance of knowing the Bible 2) Pray for soft hearts and open minds in those we tell about Jesus. The Bible and open minds and soft hearts will lead people to believe in Jesus.

Roku (ROKU) - Get Report founder Anthony Wood is tuned into the happiness channel, for good reason.
Wood's pioneering streaming creation saw third quarter sales clock in at $124.8 million, topping Wall Street estimates of $110 million. While the company lost 10 cents a share in the quarter, it was far better than the loss of 29 cents a share analysts expected.
The results helped fuel a new wave of bullishness in a stock that has now soared 42% since an early October IPO.
"It's a great time to be in the streaming business, and it's a great time to be America's leading streaming business," Wood told TheStreet in an interview. "Everything has been building, but it seems like we have hit an inflection point in terms of awareness to what's happening."
TheStreet talked with Wood about life after the IPO and what he has planned for Roku in the year ahead. The interview has been edited for length and clarity.
TheStreet: Are you surprised by how the market has responded to your IPO? Has the reception changed anything internally at Roku?
Wood: That's an interesting question. It hasn't changed anything at Roku the company. What it has done is help educate investors what our business model really is. We are a pretty misunderstood company, although I think that is starting to change. People generally see the consumer facing side of Roku and they have thoughts like 'oh I can get a $29 Roku Express and that's how they make money.' But of course, we make money on our platform business.
It has been hard historically for people to value Roku because we are a different business, we aren't a simple business. I think being public takes the valuation out of the hands of just a few investors to the masses.
TheStreet: Big moment in your life looking back over last month or so?
Wood: Obviously I am proud of Roku, it's great to go public and it adds a new fun dimension to running the business. But my personality is like 'oh, OK, so what's next.' That sets expectations for the future that are a little higher.
TheStreet: Crazy week in media with Disney (DIS) - Get Reportreportedly showing interest in Twenty-First Century Fox (FOXA) - Get Report and AT&T (T) - Get Report trying to lock down its Time Warner (TWX) deal. Do you think these traditional TV players are underestimating the shift of ad dollars to streaming services?
Wood: Yes. Not all of them. Fox's leaders I think understand, but many of them don't.
TheStreet: Does Roku want to do original programming like a Netflix (NFLX) - Get Report ?
Wood: I would never say never, but it's not something we are planning on doing. Our business model is to distribute content at scale for other people. The closest thing to original programming for us is that we launched the Roku channel. It's early days, but it has gotten off to a nice start. Distributing content is already on our platform, but it's also a mechanism for a library of content from studio owners to share content directly on Roku and promote it and monetize it. I think that will be a big future for us as well.
TheStreet: Building Roku directly into smart TVs, big opportunity?
Wood: Yes. I think the two most important areas in our future are our advertising business and our Roku TV licensing business. On the platform side, 90% of the business is advertising and there is a lot of innovation happening there. In terms of building active accounts, a metric that increased 48% year over year in the third quarter, there are two ways to do that. Sell Roku players and sell directly to TV companies.
The TV part is the fastest-growing part of the business. It's a huge shift that has played out elsewhere before. In the old days, for example, phone companies made their own software. But then smartphones came out and the software quality people expected to use became higher. It was impossible for a phone company to make its own software, so then came Android. The same thing is happening in smart TVs. It used to be that smart TV players would make their own software, but then that software isn't competitive anymore. And so they are all starting to license, and Roku is leading here.
About 1 in 5 smart TVs sold this year ran Roku's platform.

The aloe vera plant has different and many nutritional, but also it has several medicinal uses. The main part of this plant is the green gel-filled long leaves. People usually use its gel for the treatment of burns and wounds. You can find juices based on aloe vera available for sale.
Today the aloe vera juice is one of the preferred choices for many smoothies places and bio stores and bars.
For this article, we will learn about all potential benefits of drinking aloe vera juices and consuming aloe vera products. We will as well see some recommandations and dosing.
Let's start with benefits of drinking aloe vera:
1. Treatment of constipation
The aloe vera leaves are of a big popularity with constipation treatment
Photo source here
For people going through periodic constipation, you may use some aloe vera juice to replace your laxative and as a support additional natural laxative.
The external part of the aloe plant contains some compounds (anthraquinones) and they tend to have laxative effects.
If a person is trying aloe vera juice for the first time, they may wish to start with a small serving. One serving is usually 1 cup or 8 ounces (oz) of juice.
If you are trying the aloe vera pure juice for the first time, you can consider starting with a small dose. One serving is about 1 cup of 8 ounces (oz) of the FOREVER ALOE VERA GEL®.
Many researchers know about the aloe vera laxative effect and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have not confirmed the safety of the use for this specific purpose.
We advise people suffering from frequent constipation to consult a doctor to select appropriate and more convenient laxatives for a long-term perspective.
2. Natural vitamin C source
For a pure 8 oz of aloe vera juice, you find about 9.1 grams of pure vitamin C. This specific vitamin is vital for anyone's health. It's a natural very known antioxidant which helps a lot to prevent and fight against inflammations.
The famous Vitamin C has a big variety of benefits, such as reducing risks of cardiovascular disease or the function of improving immune system. If you get enough Vitamin C you are sure to enhance your ability to absorb enough iron from all plant-based foods.
The vitamin C exists naturally in different foods like oranges or green peppers, grapefruits and broccolis. The aloe vera juice is then another excellent provider of this essential vitamine.
3. Healthy hydratation
It is always positive to drink plenty of fluids all day long so everyone stays hydrated. If you wish a low-calorie and sugar-free drink mixed with natural fruit juices, you can go for a small 8-oz glass of an aloe vera juice of your choice. This glass has around 36 Calories only.
Nontheless, make sure to check everytime labeling so you can avoid added sugars. The presence of sugars and carbohydrates will for sure increase the amount of calories in a small cup of juice you choose.
The AHA or American Heart Association recommend not exceeding an amount of 24 grams (g) of added sugar in a daily basis. It is the equivalent of 6 teaspoons. This limitation is for females and around 36 grams or nine (9) teaspoons for males.
4. Gum inflammation reduction
Aloe vera may also help reducing inflammation of the gums.
A brief study in Brasil shows that using a mounthwash which contains some aloe vera juice or gel helps reducing gingival inflammation. The people of concern are ones with running treatments to remove plaques.
In the same study, about 15 participants experimented the aloe vera based mouthwash and the other half of the same size did not. The first half of the group concludes a significant reduction of gum inflammation.
Consequently, all researchers confirms from this study that the aloe vera antibacterial properties helps to get to results the team was looking for.
5. Blood sugar levels control
It seems like the aloe vera may have potential benefits for the control of blood sugar levels according to a scientific analysis published in 2016 by the Journal of Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics. People of concern are with prediabetes syndromes and type 2 diabetes.
The analysis contains different studies with a population of about 470 participants. This group experimented different preparations and products based on aloe vera including several juices and powders.
Furthermore, results shows that adding aloe vera juices helps to improve controling blood sugar levels of different participants.
Be that as it may, they also confirmed that in order to have a deep understanding of the aloe vera juices effects on diabetes seems like large studies are required.
6. Protection against stomach ulcers
Along with all aloe vera juice benefits, there are some concerning digestive systems. These properties are responsible of reducing the impact of stomach ulcers hence improving digestion. A research made in 2014 highlighted this conclusion.
All anti-inflamattory properties included in aloe vera juices and especially Vitamin C may contribute efficiently to the digestive effects stated above.
Quantified recommendations
The following doses are from different scientific researches :
Oral consumptions along adults
- To treat an oral submucous fibrosis : Take a glass of 30 mL pure aloe vera twice a day and add to that some aloe vera gel cream so you apply it to lesions at least three times a day and for 3 months straight.
- Constipation symptoms: Take 100 to 200 mg of aloe vera gel better in the evening. Adding to that at least a 500 mg capsule of aloe without exceeding 3 capsules in a daily basis.
- Weight loss management: Choose a specific aloe vera gel product with about 147 mg of pure aloe and consume it daily for about 8 weeks. Renew the use as you wish and as a part of a healthy diet plan.
- Diabetes issues: There is no clear doses for diabetes syndroms. We suggest taking multiple doses of aloe vera between 4 and 14 weeks. Mix it with powder, aloe vera gel, extracts …etc. For the powder use 100 to 1000 mg everyday. For your juice keep it from 15 to 150 mL daily.
Skin applications:
- Against acne : Half of the treatment can come from an aloe vera gel cream to apply in the morning and the evening. Apply this cream after washing the face. Complete the treatment with a medical treatment "tretinoin gel" in the evening (consult a dermatologist for more information)
- For a mouth condition called oral submucous fibrosis: 5 mg of an aloe gel applied on each side of the cheeks three times daily for 3 months has been used. Applying pure aloe vera gel to lesions three times daily for 3 months has been used along with drinking pure aloe vera juice 30 mL twice daily.
- Recommendations for herpes : Target a cream with at least 0,5% of pure aloe extracts. Apply 3 times daily for a serie of 5 days. Repeat the operation for a total of 2 weeks.
- For your irritated skin (even inside the mouth) : Use a simple natural aloe gel you can apply to to three times everyday for about 8 weeks. Use as well an aloe mouthwash (2 tablespoons). Spit after 2 minutes and carry the operation everyday for a full month until your skin heals.
- Calming burns : Mix aloe with olive oil type of cream. Apply twice a day for about 6 weeks. You can even use the aloe vera pure cream after you finish changing wound dressing. You can step up to three times a day until the burn heals.
- For the skin disease : psoriasis Apply an aloe vera cream with 0,5% of aloe extracts. Use it daily for four weeks.

Governor Rick Snyder says he has a six-point plan to help Flint residents. Some lawmakers call it a solid first step, while others claim it falls short.
Despite their opinion of the plan, many lawmakers agree they're willing to spend what it takes to help thousands exposed to lead in Flint's water.
"We're going to fix it and I like that," said Senator Rick Jones (R-Grand Ledge).
"We need to invest in those kids now and long term," said Senator Curtis Hertel Jr. (D-Lansing).
Governor Snyder is asking lawmakers for $28 million to meet emergency needs in Flint, including getting water filters and helping with unpaid water bills.
Rep. Tom Barrett (R-Potterville) says the Governor's plan is what the state needs to focus on.
"Right now we're most focused on stopping the bleeding, solving the issue, getting safe drinking water there and then fixing the problem long-term as well," Barrett added.
But across the aisle other lawmakers say that doesn't go far enough.
"We put a major road block in front of those kids when we poisoned them with lead," said Sen. Hertel. "If we don't invest in programs like early on and nutrition for those kids then we're going to be paying for this problem--not today, not tomorrow, but a long time down the road."
Rep. Sam Singh (D-East Lansing) agrees and says he's willing to back the governor's plan but only if there's a long-term funding plan. He says the state's $575 million budget surplus is a good start.
"We should be dedicating a lot of that budget surplus to the infrastructure and the health care needs of the citizens of Flint," Singh said. "Then beyond that what is he going to do year after year?'
In order to get that solution, some lawmakers say they're ready to drop party lines.
"What we really need is bipartisan cooperation," Sen. Jones said. "Lets fix it."

Gee whizzzz we love us a good snoop at kids rooms…and when they are celebrity kids rooms, it's a whole other level. These five kiddie sanctuaries are something for the eye balls to behold. Perhaps budget restraints would limit us from re-creating rooms like this but they are certainly worth a little snoop right?

The NFL season recently ended with the Super Bowl last Sunday, so now players are enjoying their offseason activities. However for one player, those offseason activities will likely involve some court appearances.
New Orleans Saints player David Onyemata was arrested and charged with marijuana possession yesterday. According to the New Orleans' Sheriff's Department, U.S. border patrol agents seized a package that contained marijuana that was addressed to Onyemata's apartment in New Orleans. The border patrol agents contacted the New Orleans' sheriff's office, who then conducted a "controlled delivery," where they delivered the package to Onyemata's apartment and then arrested him when he brought it inside. They found around 80 grams of cannabis products in his house during the arrest.
Now, you may be saying that sounds like entrapment. But the officers say it's not. They say they weren't targeting Onyemata or trying to arrest someone for simple marijuana possession. They were attempting to track down a drug dealer based off a tip from a federal agency. Of course, they didn't cite any evidence that Onyemata could've been a drug dealer other than this package.
Luckily for Onyemata, the amount of cannabis found in his home was not enough for drug distribution charges, so he simply got charged possession. He wasn't even taken to jail after his arrest, simply given a court summons. But you'd have to assume the NFL or the Saints will punish him for this incident through a suspension.
Meanwhile, who knows how many crimes were being committed while police officers were pretending to be FedEx drivers to arrest someone for marijuana.

On co-design and creating better public servicesAUTHOR: Desktop
Public sector service providers and designers have the chance to come together to explore the implementation process of co-design this December at the Co Design: Close The Gap To Your Clients event presented by ideasondesign.
With an aim to assist service providers and designers looking for innovative ways to improve the efficiency and user outcomes of public sector services for social innovation, the event will be held on 1 December at RMIT University city campus.
The event will feature Ingrid van der Wacht of PROUD, a group of organisations from across Europe exploring co-design as a strategy to get citizens and stakeholders involved in the formulation and solutions to problems.
Van der Wacht will share tangible examples from the PROUD project in Europe and insights to the opportunities that can arise from cross pollination between designers and health and well being planners.
desktop caught up with van der Wacht ahead of the event to learn more about the PROUD project and how the public sector can benefit from co-design.
Give our readers a quick background of the PROUD project in Europe.
PROUD is an acronym for People, Researchers and Organisations Using Design (PROUD) for innovation and co-creation. So first and foremost PROUD is about people.
PROUD Europe has been developed and implemented from 2010 by a group of partners representing different design and innovation institutions in North Western Europe. The overall aim of PROUD was to employ design as a driver for innovation, economic transformation and sustainable development. PROUD partners created cross-sectorial partnerships between public authorities, industries, businesses and designers to work together with user communities. The focus was to involve representatives from a variety of organisations and engage them in the development of new and relevant services, products and spaces through a co-design process.
The mission for partners in the project was to get design thinking and co-design embedded into the activities, planning and strategic direction of public authorities and SME's as a way to build North Eastern Europes's capacity for solving today's real world problems in meaningful and sustainable ways.
Let us get the definition right. What is co-design and why the need for it?
Co-design as a term is at least 40 years old. What the terms stands for and its popularity has changed remarkably over the last 10 years.
During the course of PROUD the partners worked with the following definition of co-design distilled from a Report of the European Design Leadership Board:
"Co-design is a community centred methodology that designers use to enable people, who will be served by a designed outcome, to participate in designing solutions to their problems".
So why co-design? These are interesting times in which we are confronted with complex challenges that ask for a multi-disciplinary approach – thus co-design. Collaboration, empathy and achieving creative knowledge exchange are key in co-design processes.
What are the challenges when in come to co-design and how can those challenges be overcome?
Co-design implies an open mindset and the process you follow should at least be supported by the management of the co-designing organisations. Before starting up a co-design process it should be assured that the results will have genuine consideration within the development of future products, services or spaces. In addition, it is important that the process is not carried out with a predetermined outcome. It is always very challenging to get the right people involved in the co-design process. What is important is to define who should be involved and find the right ways to engage them.
Give us some examples of successful co-design projects you have encountered. What were their success formulas?
There are numerous projects to be mentioned here. But the success of PROUD Europe has been greatly determined by the Beyond the Castle project run by partner Imagination Lancaster (UK). Their co-design process delivered more than 1,000 ideas that have been categorised and are further elaborated, not just by civil servants but also by a core group of volunteers. Beyond The Castle delivered a sustainable and truly engaging co-design process touching upon 2,000 residents and had 700 residents actively involved.
In Eindhoven, several co-design projects were developed over the year. The city created new plans for schools with A Perfect School Day. The Dutch Cooperation Brainport (Dutch Design Foundation) delivered a project for school kids, co-designing a healthy lifestyle –Design for the Fittest. In Belgium, DesignRegio Kortrijk elaborated different interventions by a multinational team of co-design professionals to make the Buda Island a pleasant place to be for residents or visitors.
There is not just one underlying success formula; co-design processes are living processes that take place in different contexts with different people. Therefore PROUD developed the fundamentals of co-design for designers and co-design clients like non-government organisations, governments and non-profit organisations. These fundamentals can serve as a kind of touchstone to check whether the basics for a good co-design process are there.
In your opinion, how can the public sector be made better by design?
Today's public sector (in Europe) has to deal with complex problems as well as budget cuts and more critical citizens. Citizen participation is key but not easy to achieve when government organisations remain closed and siloed. Openness and transparency are fundamental to engagement and when better services are crucial. By adopting a design thinking 'mindset' first steps can be made to change of the public service system. Integrated design specialists can play a key role here. Co-designing on certain challenges can improve communication and thus create trust and a better relationship with citizens.
Clue us in on what to expect on 1 December at the Co-Design: Close The Gap To Your Clients.
Let's get to know each other better on 1 December. Whether you are designer, a civil servant, knowledge worker or whatever role you play or take. Let's discover how co-design can help you to build a bridge between you and your clients, how creative ways of sharing ideas and building concepts can lead to valuable innovation and contribute to change for the better.
During my IPAA talk at Canberra Design many public servants reacted enthusiastically. Some co-design interventions already take place. Really nice ones – like a co-design 'cubicle' office to make an inventory of the ideas of the employees. But it still remains that a further change in culture is needed. So let's plant seeds in Melbourne too!

Yesterday evening, while on the phone with my father, he and I were discussing my single status. The thing is, my father is about to retire and he is getting more and more excited on the idea on becoming a granddad. I'm turning thirty at the end of this month, and I have a strong child wish. One problem, I don't want to become a single mom.
Last weekend I went to Geneva to see my best friend. As far as my father knew, I would also be spending time with an 'interesting' man, a good potential. I forgot to inform my father sooner, that this 'interesting' man had misled me.
The 'interesting' man has an important position at an human rights organization, therefore I though he would have integrity. But truth is, he was having an online affair with me for about 3 months, while I had no clue he was already in a relationship for years. It didn't show when we were having our video calls. So many romantic messages and plans, so much sexting, so many dick pictures. I had no reason to doubt he was single, until he started to behave different and I did some online investigation. I did met up with him for a coffee when I was back in Geneva. What remains is a man in his early midlife crisis, myself single, and a lot of dirty pictures and videos to remember these 3 spicy months.
When I explained to my father I've given up on believing there's a special someone out there for me, he was disappointed. It will take some more years for my stepbrothers and their girlfriends to be ready for parenthood. Yet it's even impossible for my father to deny I'm a perfect example of the sex and the city-generation, generation-Y, the over-emancipated woman (which is his own fault, it's how he raised me). Even my father had to admit that he hasn't met a man my age, still single and good looking enough, who he would consider to be a good match for me.

AllMusic Review by Corey Apar
Despite Chevelle undergoing its first lineup change since the mid-'90s (trading out bassist brother Joe Loeffler for brother-in-law Dean Bernardini), not much else has been drastically altered in camp Chevelle. The loud/soft dynamic and angst-fueled vocals that nod heavily towards Tool, and which have always been the group's trademark, arrive in full force on their fourth album Vena Sera, but it's not enough to make the proceedings any more interesting than anything they've recorded in the past. Every song seems to be set up in the exact same manner; guitars lurch forward, diminish and eventually swell into choruses where Pete Loeffler's emotional vocals (ranging from shrieks to tuneful cries) take center-stage over a backdrop of steady yet dense rhythms. "Brainiac" and especially "Midnight to Midnight" take a noticeably heavier angle, the latter song running on a nice urgency that so many of Chevelle's other songs lack, instead choosing to lumber along in a murky sense of despair. First single "Well Enough Alone" emotes and then emotes in that way so perfect for the airwaves, and though it's a decent song -- the opening shriek is especially nice -- it more so highlights the frustrating aspect of Vena Sera. The album is good enough, but too much of it simply sounds like rewrites of songs from the band's past. "I Get It" has a relatively lighter underbelly than the rest, which is a nice change of pace, but it's ultimately too little, too late. However, Vena Sera probably won't disappoint fans, if for the sole fact that it basically sounds just like Chevelle's other albums, so that if they liked those, they'll like this one. But anyone looking for a little more, well, they'll be left looking.

AURORA, Colo. — It is currently bee season in Colorado. The insects play a critical role to the ecosystem, but oftentimes, people request a hive be removed from their home.
Gregg McMahan founded Rocky Mountain Bee Removal, which specializes in removing hives from homes and relocating the insects.
"I get so excited about bees and want to just share it with everybody," McMahan said.
He has been a surfer, woodworker and musician in the past. But 12 years ago, he says he fell in love with bees,
"That excitement you've looked for your whole life, your first love, every time I open a hive, it just reminds me of my first love," McMahan said.
McMahon said people should be careful around bees.
"No matter if it's a swarm hanging in the tree or bees in the wall of your house, they can be aggressive," he said.
On Tuesday, he worked to remove about 40,000 bees from a home in Aurora.
"They stung me so bad. I had a bee suit on. They stung me through the bee suit. I had to get a second layer on today, so I know I've taken over 100 today," McMahan said, referring to the number of stings.
McMahan uses a unique device to remove the bees without killing many of them. It uses a vacuum and a live capture chamber.
While some of the bees die, the rest are relocated to Standley Lake Regional Park and Wildlife Refuge.

Build Version: 0.0.1(alpha)
Change Type: feature update
Affected Components: API
Short Description: OOXML 'document' file parser has been updated to detect and extract "Drawing Object Non-Visual Properties".
Example: https://iris-h.malwageddon.com/report/380710e90e15242de982aede9a62c66e
Outstanding Tasks: None
Detailed Summary
"Drawing Object Non-Visual Properties(docPr) element specifies non-visual object properties for the parent DrawingML object. These properties are specified as child elements of 'docPr' element." - ECMA-376 Part 1 (section 126.96.36.199)
OOXML 'document' file parser has been updated to extract non-visual object properties associated with inline drawing objects(pictures). The extracted data will be displayed in the corresponding 'document' panel under 'Individual Components' section on the report page. The following properties will be considered:
- descr - Specifies alternative text for the current DrawingML object, for use by assistive technologies or applications which do not display the current object.
- hidden - Specifies whether this DrawingML object is displayed. When a DrawingML object is displayed within a document, that object can be hidden (i.e., present, but not visible).
- name - Specifies the name of the object. Typically, this is used to store the original file name of a picture object.
- title - Specifies the title (caption) of the current DrawingML object.
Some of the above properties might be omitted from the property set. IRIS-H will only extract and display properties present in the set. See below for an example:
|'document' panel showing non-visual object properties extracted from inline drawing object
As seen in the screenshot above, these properties might contain digital artifacts that can be helpful in a digital forensics investigation.

We know the Trump administration isn't known for advocating the smartest solutions to America's problems, but the latest proposal coming from an official is flat-out idiotic.
Kellyanne Conway, an advisor for President Trump and the person in charge of the administration's response to the opioid crisis, was asked for her advice on how to avoid opioid addiction. She said, "Eat the ice cream, have the french fry, don't buy the street drug. Believe me, it all works out."
Of course, this also happens to be similar to the diet enjoyed by President Trump, who is known for enjoying Diet Cokes, french fries and other junk food.
Now, the actual "eat the ice cream, have the french fry" line may have been a joke, but she was serious in talking about how young people avoiding junk food can somehow lead to opioid addiction. Here's what she said before the "eat the ice cream" line:
"On our college campuses, your folks are reading the labels, they won't put any sugar in their body, they don't eat carbs anymore, and they're very, very fastidious about what goes into their body," Conway said. "And then you buy a street drug for $5 or $10, it's laced with fentanyl, and that's it."
Yep, those college kids! Won't eat any carbs, but then go buy some fentanyl for $5!
The Trump administration's been thoroughly criticized for their handling on the opioid crisis. While they've stated that it's a priority for them, they're approach has basically been a re-hash of old-fashioned "Just Say No" campaigns, while also avoiding any solutions that seem even mildly modern. Particularly, they've refused to push marijuana as an alternative to opioids despite countless evidence that it can work.
But yeah, we're sure eating some McDonald's fries will help opioid addicts kick their habit.

As the weather gets warmer, students flock to Healy Lawn to enjoy a sunny afternoon. They nap on the grass, throw a football around and congregate around a laptop with music blasting. But some students draw attention to themselves by taking part in a less traditional spring activity: People lounge on the grass smoking hookah as the fragrant scent of flavored tobacco wafts through the air.
A hookah, otherwise known as a water pipe or narghile, is used to smoke flavored tobacco, called shisha. As someone inhales through a wooden mouthpiece, the smoke passes through the water within a decorated vase. While the device's history traces back to the Middle East, its presence at Georgetown seems to have increased over the past years as more students buy their own hookahs, looking for another way to enjoy a beautiful day outside or a relaxing evening indoors.
There are many reasons as to why one would partake in this growing trend. Many students find smoking a water pipe to be a fun, relaxing and legal way to get a "buzz" while hanging out with friends, especially during those times when people aren't feeling particularly energetic.
"I think more people are smoking hookah," said Jay Factor (COL '14). "It's fun and it's a social thing. People see other people doing it on the lawn and they decide to experience it themselves."
While the popularity of hookah smoking slowly spreads across campus, there are students, like AnaCenaj (COL '12), who have tried it, but who aren't particularly big fans of the activity.
"I suppose I'm not much of a risk taker," said Cenaj, who has only smoked hookah twice in her life out of curiosity. "The negative media attention of smoking has turned me off to the whole concept … I imagine [the health risks are] similar to smoking a cigarette."
Still, she doesn't believe that the well-known detriments of inhaling smoke have turned other students away from water pipes.
"They enjoy the relaxation that comes with smoking," she said, "[and] I imagine some smoke to fit in."
Hookah appears to be a small but growing trend on campus, as one can often spot students smoking out on Healy Lawn. Many of these students were introduced to the practice by their friends who already took part in this cultural phenomenon. In particular, many international students exposed their American friends to the experience, which is more common in other countries, especially in the Middle East.
Hao Shen (SFS '13), who smoked hookah during the summer with a friend, rarely smokes during the regular school year.
"While I don't think it's a huge trend with the whole campus, it's definitely trendy among international students, mainly students from the Middle East," Shen said.
As the number of hookah smokers on campus slowly rises, this practice is growing even more steadily in the Georgetown neighborhood.
Wael Mahmoud Dib, a native of Lebanon and the manager of Georgetown's Zenobia Lounge, a well-known hookah lounge in the neighborhood, has seen the business grow over the years with increased popularity with students.
"Many people who are 20 to 25-years-old come, so yes," Dib said, regarding the question of whether or not students come to Zenobia purely for the shisha. "You can't smoke if you're under 18, so if someone looks particularly young, we will always check their ID."
What he did notice among college-age smokers was that usually four or five people would come together and order food, while only one or two of them will smoke hookah.
"They usually come on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays too, but they leave early on Sundays," he said. "But we're busy every night after 7 p.m. and we get customers of all sorts — embassy people, Middle Eastern people, students, people working nearby."
Dib believes that this is the most popular he's seen hookah smoking in the three years Zenobia has been in business.
Although there is no way for him to know if his clients are from Georgetown or not, Dib estimates that college students make up a large part of his business.
"60 percent of my customers are older than college age, while 40% are college students. Probably 80 percent of the college-age hookah smokers are Arab or Mediterranean."
Dib's observations agree with most interviewees' assumptions that many Georgetown students smoke hookah occasionally for recreational purposes, but the students who habitually smoke it tend to be of Arabic or Mediterranean descent. This is partially because hookah smoking is a cultural tradition and prevalent in the Middle East, as well as in parts of the Mediterranean and South Asia.
This has been the experience of Alexandra Dudziuk (SFS '12), who started smoking hookah out of curiosity because her Lebanese roommate introduced her to it.
"For my roommate and her friends, it's more of a cultural thing," Dudziuk said. "Most of them are from the Middle East, so smoking hookah is a greater part of their culture, given Islam's ban of alcohol consumption … but I do think that it has become trendy."
Whether Georgetown is a hookah-friendly campus or not, some students believe that hookah smoking has become more prevalent on campus. But for many students who have not been exposed to the practice, either because they are not Middle Eastern or Mediterranean or aren't close friends with those who are, hookah smoking remains an occasional activity to be enjoyed on exceptionally sunny days on Healy Lawn as the semester draws to a close.

What a happy coincidence: Today over on Renegade Bus, Joan Arbery and New York-based architect and planner Hans Roegele had quite the spirited back-and-forth over the Woodall Rodgers Deck Park and whether it will turn the Arts District into a neighborhood, as Arbery insists, or whether it's just "an urban gesture [that] amounts to a band-aid, restoring past mistakes," as Roegele calls it.
So happens that just yesterday, friend of the show Justin Cozart posted to Flickr the image you see above: a 1967 model for Woodall Rodgers Freeway, which doesn't look so different from the design on the official deck park Web site. Asks Justin, matter of fact, "Hey, is that a park?" Ask Hans.

I love sweets. The Busy Day Cake recipe on Orangette with its cute story was irresistible.
It seemed so simple and really it was, except for my inspired hand creaming the butter and sugar idea. (I think the butter wasn't quite soft enough leading to blisters from my attempt to cream it by hand.) In spite of that mishap, this took maybe 20 minutes to pull together.
The cake isn't overly sweet and for once I managed to not over mix it, so it rose nicely. My only complaint is the cake is a little dry and crumbly. In fact, it resembles slightly sweet, dry cornbread without the corn flavor.
I'll probably make this again eventually. No rush.


text: Dean Pomerleau Report post Posted September 4, 2019 This new study [1] along with the popular press article about it seem crazy at first, but it actually makes sense. In a double blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial, the researchers found that blood pressure was decreased and tissue oxygenation was increased for several hours after exercise on a treadmill. This is not surprising. But when subjects gargled with an antibacterial mouthwash 30min after exercise, these beneficial post-exercise changes to blood pressure and tissue oxygenation were eliminated. It is well known that bacterial in the mouth convert nitrate to nitrite which in turn gets converted into the vasodilator nitrous-oxide. This process seems to happen acutely after exercise with beneficial results. The authors conclude: These findings show that nitrite synthesis by oral commensal bacteria is a key mechanism to induce the vascular response to exercise over the first period of recovery thereby promoting lower blood pressure and greater muscle oxygenation. This confirms Dr. Greger's advice from this video to avoid antibacterial mouthwash and toothpaste because they can interfere with the elaborate way the body converts dietary nitrates (e.g. from beets) into cardioprotective nitrous oxide. --Dean ---------- [1] Free Radic Biol Med. 2019 Jul 29;143:252-259. doi: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2019.07.035. [Epub ahead of print] Post-exercise hypotension and skeletal muscle oxygenation is regulated by nitrate-reducing activity of oral bacteria. Cutler C(1), Kiernan M(2), Willis JR(3), Gallardo-Alfaro L(4), Casas-Agustench P(1), White D(1), Hickson M(1), Gabaldon T(5), Bescos R(6). Post-exercise hypotension (PEH) is a common physiological phenomenon leading to lower blood pressure after acute exercise, but it is not fully understood how this intriguing response occurs. This study investigated whether the nitrate-reducing activity of oral bacteria is a key mechanism to trigger PEH. Following a randomized, double blind and crossover design, twenty-three healthy individuals (15 males/8 females) completed two treadmill trials at moderate intensity. After exercise, participants rinsed their mouth with antibacterial mouthwash to inhibit the activity of oral bacteria or a placebo mouthwash. Blood pressure was measured before, 1h and 2 h after exercise. The microvascular response to a reactive hyperaemia test, as well as blood and salivary samples were taken before and 2 h after exercise to analyse nitrate and nitrite concentrations and the oral microbiome. As expected, systolic blood pressure (SBP) was lower (1 h: -5.2 ± 1.0 mmHg; P < 0.001); 2 h: -3.8 ± 1.1 mmHg, P = 0.005) after exercise compared to baseline in the placebo condition. This was accompanied by an increase of circulatory nitrite 2 h after exercise (2h: 100 ± 13 nM) compared to baseline (59 ± 9 nM; P = 0.013). Additionally, an increase in the peak of the tissue oxygenation index (TOI) during the reactive hyperaemia response was observed after exercise (86.1 ± 0.6%) compared to baseline levels (84.8 ± 0.5%; P = 0.010) in the placebo condition. On the other hand, the SBP-lowering effect of exercise was attenuated by 61% at 1 h in the recovery period, and it was fully attenuated 2 h after exercise with antibacterial mouthwash. This was associated with a lack of changes in circulatory nitrite (P > 0.05), and impaired microvascular response (peak TOI baseline: 85.1 ± 3.1%; peak TOI post-exercise: 84.6 ± 3.2%; P > 0.05). Diversity of oral bacteria did not change after exercise in any treatment. These findings show that nitrite synthesis by oral commensal bacteria is a key mechanism to induce the vascular response to exercise over the first period of recovery thereby promoting lower blood pressure and greater muscle oxygenation.

Puji is an online retailer based in Manchester. We are inspired by the beauty of the Far East and Orient. The name 'Puji' is Indonesian and simply means to bless or admire. For us, it's perfect we want you to stand back, admire your home and the beauty of our furniture.
Words such as Tranquil, Eco-friendly, Sustainable, Reclaimed and Functional are what drive our designers and the company. This journey began when the owner Jimmy Ioannou graduated from a design course , desperate to start manufacturing and bringing his ideas to life he set up in a friend's old barn. At first he started hand making commissioned pieces for friends and family. But for Jimmy this wasn't enough he had bigger dreams and a strong passion to design an exclusive and distinctive range using eco-friendly materials. He had a vision that the home interior should be a calming, peaceful and inspiring space. He wanted his furniture designs to be pieces that would withstand the test of time, age beautifully and fit in both modern and traditional homes. Jimmy realised that to achieve this he had to find materials that would suit his designs and so the perfect opportunity to travel the world presented itself.
His travels finally took him to Indonesia where he instantly fell in love with the tropical surroundings and nature. This is where he discovered reclaimed teak a wood so old you could feel the history and character. Each piece he crafted would tell its own story, no two pieces of wood are the same. Unique and stunning this reclaimed teak would give life to his furniture. Reclaimed timbers are very eco-friendly as no new trees need to be used. This old teak is sourced through recognised Indonesian timber Brokers who purchase timbers recovered from old colonial buildings. This rustic, weathered and durable wood is perfect for the UK market. It is much less likely to shrink, move or crack.
Jimmy then went on to set up a manufacturing site and his Indonesian team helped him source the best local craftsmen. He then went on to open a retail store in 2003 within his own local community and with no advertising budget he relied on word of mouth support. He was overwhelmed by the support his local community showed him and before he knew it he was furnishing homes everywhere. Puji insists on top-quality design, materials and craftsmanship. The result is a truly unique product that we can all be proud of. Jimmy is constantly designing new ranges and loves working with clients to design 'one-off' pieces. He offers a full bespoke service so that clients can get exactly what they need for their living space. This design service is offered free so that clients can decide if they prefer to invest in commissioned pieces.
Many of the Puji designs have been featured in the Press and Home Interior magazines such as Grand designs, Ideal Home, Period Living etc. We are always shocked when we open a publication and see our products staring back at us and it's even more amazing to think of how many homes hold a little piece of Puji.

Leave your details below to come and see our brand new display home built in our factory and learn what makes our design and build process so unique and innovative.
The Norman is intended for large families. However, it has a flexible design. It is sure to meet your needs, whether you are a couple planning to start a family, someone looking to downsize, or searching for a home for your extended family.
It may be a modest design without looking like a modernist, but it is unique, efficient, and sustainable – the true essence of a modular home. On the outside, it thrives on simplicity. It can blend well with the other homes in the neighbourhood, looking like a traditional house.
At the same time, it comes with a smart design that is perfect for those who are searching for a laidback yet distinctive style.
The Norman has a total of five spacious bedrooms. It has three baths as well, making it an excellent choice for families. During the designing process, the aim was to make the Norman an ideal option for those who would often have celebrations and get-togethers.
An open floor plan is typically viewed as an interior challenge, but the Normal effortlessly blends dining and living areas. The design creates a separation between the two rooms but still preserves the open flow of the space. The result is a dining room that is accessible through the living room and vice versa. This way, you or the guests can get to and from either of these rooms incredibly easy.
The rooms are versatile, spacious, and airy. The Norman is indeed the design to go for if you are looking for a humble modern home. Dining and living rooms come equipped with space-savvy and premium furniture pieces.
Now, let us talk about the kitchen, which is a section that you do not want to ignore. It features a kitchen island, allowing everyone in the house to grab a snack no matter what time of the day. The kitchen design perfectly matches your lifestyle. It is spacious and well-ventilated, so you can work your magic in preparing food without feeling suffocated. Additionally, everything is within your reach, whether it is the fridge or the sink.
The main bath, on the other hand, is huge with its full-size bathtub. To keep it classic, a black and white colour scheme is the way to go. Of course, you can always go bold with statement wallpaper, which you can add later on. The bathroom also has excellent fixtures, decorative accessories, and cabinetry, among others. It is directly connected to the laundry room, so you can conveniently wash your clothes.
It is easy to see that the three baths in the Norman are meticulously designed. After all, it is how bathrooms should be. From the custom tub to the fancy floor tiles to the enviable vanity installed, you will surely make the bathroom one of your favourite parts of your modular home.
The five bedrooms are large so that everyone can have a comfy sanctuary at the end of an exhausting day. The layout is simple, yet it works well, especially for families. Three bedrooms are connected with one another while the other two are by the dining and living areas. All rooms have easy access to one of the three baths.
These rooms are customisable according to your needs. You are more than welcome to transform one into a study or recreational room.
Outside, there is adequate space where you can fit a carport. Let us also not forget about the spacious alfresco area where you can invite your friends over for some drink or conversation. With Australians looking forward to enhancing their patio living space, the Norman offers you the chance to have an outdoor room you can throughout the whole year.

Pittsburgh, August 9, 2016 — Architects and designers use light, color and video to transform and enrich spaces. Lighting and technology industry veterans at Lellan noticed a need for an easily controllable, modular and innovative lighting system that would provide a striking ambiance to residential and commercial environments. They set out to create a product that did just that.
The DigitalCanvas™ from Lellan offers an artistic lighting element to interior spaces by using LEDs to broadcast dynamic color, light, motion and interactivity. The building block of the DigitalCanvas™ system is the SmartTile, which can be configured to create any size DigitalCanvas™ consisting of one to 1,000 SmartTiles. The SmartTiles can be laid out in any arrangement, spacing or orientation to broadcast videos with cohesive effect. The DigitalCanvas™ is easily installed and controlled with any wireless device or PC without the need for a complicated control system or excessive cabling.
The SmartTile features a translucent Makrolon® Lumen XT polycarbonate sheet surface from Covestro LLC. The sheet operates as a diffuser for the LEDs that illuminate the surface. In addition to high light diffusion, Makrolon® Lumen XT polycarbonate sheet offers uniform light transmission and optical clarity.
"We collaborated with Lellan, providing technical assistance and guidance on material selection," said Ken Licklider, sign and lighting segment manager, Polycarbonate Sheet, Covestro LLC. "This helped Lellan discover the unique light diffusing capabilities of Makrolon® Lumen XT that enable the SmartTile to produce the desired creative effects."
Each SmartTile measures approximately 11.8" x 11.8" x 1.7", allowing for easy installation without remodeling or bulky wall reinforcements. This required a lightweight material, like Makrolon® Lumen XT polycarbonate sheet, with LED diffusing capability to minimize hot spotting from pinpoint light.
According to Michelle Johnston, vice president of sales and marketing, Lellan: "Covestro's material was selected due to its superior light diffusion properties and natural color. We tested many other products, including acrylic and polypropylene, but nothing compared to Makrolon® Lumen XT polycarbonate sheet. It emerged as the clear winner."
Makrolon® Lumen XT polycarbonate sheet also offers superior durability and protection, an important quality when used in retail spaces, corporate lobbies, restaurants, bars, hotels and other interior spaces frequented by people.
The Lellan DigitalCanvas™ is currently available in the U.S. market and will soon be available globally.
