You might've heard that trade show marketing is a great tool to have in your marketing arsenal – and that's absolutely true. But exhibiting at trade shows is not only a good way to create general brand awareness; it can also be a highly effective way to curate a profitable customer base for your business.
If you're looking for trade show booth ideas to attract visitors or trade show tips and tricks, here are some things to keep in mind so you can build that customer base while making an impression on trade show attendees.
1. Attendees Are Already at the Purchasing Stage of the Funnel.
One of the best things about trade show attendees is that the majority of them are there in order to get inspired, learn about new products, and make new connections. That means they're actually seeking out information and, for lack of a better term, sales pitches. You have a perfect opportunity, then, to be the answer they may not even know they needed.
When you work on your trade show messaging and pre-show marketing, think about all of the attendees as potential customers. They're already going to be there with the mindset of finding solutions to their problems This is how you can present yourself as a real and timely solution.
This also tells you that many of the people you'll be speaking with may be ready to buy – on the spot. Make sure you've set up your booth so that a willing buyer is able to quickly and smoothly complete a purchase if they decide to do so. The last thing you want to do is accidentally inhibit a sale because you weren't expecting one to take place.
2. You Get the Opportunity to Interact Face-To-Face.
It's not often that you get to make eye contact and shake hands with the target audience for your products or services; but at trade shows, you do. Keep in mind, however, that these perfectly primed prospects aren't going to magically end up at your booth, ready to lend you their ear. You have to do some work to get them to your display too.
One of the best things you can do is hire an outgoing sales team who is willing to seek out people in the crowds to stop by and visit your booth. And once they do, the rest of your team needs to be trained to answer their questions and be a friendly representation of your business.
3. Meaningful Conversations Can Make You Memorable, Long After the Show.
Not only do the one-on-one conversations at your booth increase your likelihood of getting someone's attention and business in the moment they also humanize your brand for the long haul. When attendees get home after a busy trade show, it's easy to forget the specifics of who they talked with, from what company, and when.
However, if you focus on engaging in meaningful conversations with each person who comes by, you've increased the chances that they'll remember you when they have a need for what you sell or service you offer. Make the conversations about them and how you can help them, and keep in mind that a little humor and relatability can go a long way in forging a real connection. And then, when it's time for you to do a post-show follow-up, you'll be able to do so in a very personalized, human-to-human manner.
Trade show marketing can go a long way in creating a profitable customer base for your business if you approach it with the right mindset and goals. Contact us if you'd like help getting started we can help!

Mom and The Harley [1951]
This photo was a surprise to me and my sisters.
While it wasn't a surprise that our Grandpa Harlow rode a Harley-Davidson in high school, we were all amazed to see our Mom pull something out of the archives showing her on the back of a big twin! Location: 9th and Gamble in Anchorage AK – still a US Territory when the picture was snapped around 1951. "The edge of the city" at the time, my Mom said. Behind her and friend Don is my grandpa's Chevy Fleetline sedan. The Chugach Mountain Range to the east is looming over everyone in the background.
Looking at Google Maps, we see that the same view in the current day is very different!

Advantages of choosing local grocery stores
You can always find a branded store around the corner. However, the world is moving towards buying local. # Buy Local is getting around fast in the social media too.

Apart from these, here are the top reasons to choose local grocery stores.

- If tomato is not available at the peak of winter in your area, it is nature's way of saying not to eat tomato during that weather. Stick to the nature. It is watermelon for summer, squash for autumn, asparagus for spring and so on. Your body is tuned to your local environment. (Source).
- You can help to create a sustainable food value-chain by supporting local businesses and farmers.

"It's MimOsa Not MimosA!" This funny Harry Potter mimosa shirt is perfect for brunch fans! Use our Harry Potter SVG file to create your own shirts, tote bags, and more!
Brunch in style with this fun "It's MimOsa Not MimosA" shirt based on the famous Harry Potter quote. As Hermione said, "It's LeviOsa Not LeviosA!" and I'm sure she'd be quick to point out that it's definitely mimOsas that we want for brunch!
DIY Harry Potter "It's MimOsa Not MimosA" Brunch Shirt
What You'll Need to Make a Mimosa Shirt:
- "It's MimOsa Not MimosA" SVG Cut File (available below)
- Blank Shirt (we used a Bella Tank Top)
- Iron-On Vinyl/HTV – we used Cricut Foil Iron-On in Chrome, Gold, and Rose Gold
- Electronic Cutting Machine (Cricut Maker or Cricut Explore Air are my favorites!)
- Cricut EasyPress or Iron
- Iron-On Protective Sheet (or piece of parchment paper)
First, download the SVG file and upload the image into your design software. Use your cutting machine to cut out the image in iron-on vinyl. I used my Cricut Maker machine (you can read all about how amazing it is here!) and Cricut Iron-On Foil for my shirt. Weed the excess negative space from the plastic backing.
Place the iron-on design in the appropriate position on your garment and use the Cricut EasyPress (or an iron) to apply the graphic according to the interactive settings chart. I have mentioned a million times how much I love my EasyPress, and Cricut recently released the EasyPress 2 that is even MORE awesome than the original with faster heating times, higher temperatures, and a streamlined base. It's a total game-changer that makes iron-on SO easy peasy!
Wait until the plastic backing is completely cool before peeling the plastic off of the design. Cover the design with a protective iron-on sheet or a sheet of parchment paper , and repeat the process for the other colors.
SO fun, right?! I'm pretty sure that this is exactly what brunch with Hermione would sound like!

Author: Amy Lane
Publisher: Dreamspinner Press
Pages/Word Count: 280 Pages
At a Glance: A book that is so rich in detail we can easily visualise each moment on the page
Blurb: John Carey is just out of rehab and dying inside when he gets word that Tory, the guy who loved him and broke him, has removed himself from the world in the most bitter way possible—and left John to clean up his mess.
Forced back to his hometown in Florida, John's craving a hit with every memory when he meets Tory's neighbor. Spacey and judgmental, Galen Henderson has been rotting in his crappy apartment since a motorcycle accident robbed him of his mobility, his looks, and his boyfriend all in one mistake. Galen's been hiding at the bottom of an oxy bottle, but when John shows up, he feels obligated to help wade through the wreckage of Tory's life.
The last thing John needs is another relationship with an addict, and the last thing Galen wants is a conscience. Both of them are shocked when they find that their battered souls can learn from and heal one another. It doesn't hurt that they're both getting a crash course on how growing up and getting past your worst mistakes sure beats the alternative—and that true love is something to fight to keep if your lover is fighting to love you back.
Review: The only time in my life I ever wish I had a talent for writing is when I am attempting a review of a really good book. When a book I have been anticipating for over a year finally ends up in my hands, and I have loved it, devoured it and want to share that with others. Then, that's when I long for skills with words and the ability to put them on a page in a fashion worthy of the inspiration, and hope I can convey my respect and awe for Amy's craftsmanship.
Black John is the fifth Johnnies book- I count Super Sock Man– and while John's presence is noticed in the previous books, there is no real sense of identity until Dex in Blue, where he became an object of pity. I had so many questions about him as he perched on the sidelines of the previous books and needed his story to have all the answers. So, we start Black John with a need for answers and searching for his worth. Can he redeem himself with Dex? The guys? Or with us? And…OMG, Amy rips us out of Sacramento and across the country to Daytona Beach, Florida. She dumps us in the filth of John's past with the misery and chaos that dragged him into his drug addiction. God, I hated Tory! Seriously, the skills that this author has to engage my emotions so intensely is without parallel.
Within a few chapters John is a person deserving our sympathy, not an object of pity at all. He has been hurt so badly, but he keeps going, one day, one revealed horror at a time. Amy answers all of our questions in this book. A lot of those answers are stomach churning, but we get them. We meet Galen, a piece of work himself, and see the possibilities for them both. There is so much healing they both have to do, though, that the future we see as possible is far enough away to maybe be real.
One of the things that Amy does so well is create characters that lift off the pages and into our hearts. They are so very real. The Johnnies universe has storylines that run concurrently between multiple books and where they overlap, the guys are seen from different angles but remain true to their own selves. The Tommy in Ethan in Gold is the same Tommy in Dex and the same in Black John. This is a technical part of book writing that probably involves spreadsheets and flow charts on Amy's part, but we don't see the work entailed in the story, we simply reap the benefits of her craftsmanship. We get a book that is so rich in detail we can easily visualise each moment on the page and become immersed in the world she has built.
Redemption is a recurring theme in Amy Lane's books, and it is a nearly overwhelming battle for John, but he earns it. He does good long enough and strongly enough for it to stick. John's return to Sacramento to make amends and to continue shoring up the walls of his life are a pleasure for the reader, as we visit with our favorite guys again. When John and Galen bring their best to each other, the absolute best part is that it's not the end of their story. We are already looking forward to Reg and Bobbie's turn, and we want to see how Jerzy's video turns out. There is no need to say goodbye. We can soak in the feels for a while longer. This book is a fabulous addition to the Johnnies universe. I will re-read it often and cannot recommend it strongly enough to anyone who enjoys revelling in a love story that is so much more!

Don't have time to spend hours making dinner? These Teriyaki Chicken Skewers are quick, easy, and best of all, absolutely delicious!
I was watching an old B&W TV show the other day and had the realization that I would have made a terrible 50's wife and mother. While I like making fancy meals now and then, if I had to spend three hours in the kitchen every single day, I'd probably lose my mind.
I'm all about quick and easy recipes, since most days we're running around to after school activities and trying to get shopping and other errands done. The great part is that even when I don't have a lot of time to make dinner, I can still whip up something last minute that's easy, healthy and most important, delicious.
This recipe for Teriyaki Chicken Skewers is my newest favorite. Not only does it have just six ingredients, but they are ingredients I usually have on hand anyway. That way if I forget to plan ahead for dinner, a regular occurrence with me, I always have a fallback plan. Everything you need for this recipe can be found at Publix. You'll want to pick up Minute® White Rice, Dole® Pineapple in 100% Pineapple Juice, Kikkoman® Teriyaki Sauce, ginger, green pepper and boneless chicken breasts.
Rice is a staple in our pantry because it goes with almost anything and you can't get much easier than Minute White Rice. Just pour it into a pot of boiling water and you have fluffy white rice in just five minutes. We always eat our rice with Kikkoman Soy Sauce since it adds flavor to the rice that you just can't get without it. Seriously, my girls won't even eat rice if we are out of soy sauce! However, if you're making this recipe, the unique flavor of Kikkomans Teriyaki Sauce is going to be perfect.
Dole Pineapple Chunks are another thing that you'll always find in my pantry. My girls love to eat them plain but they're also perfect for recipes like stir fries, regular or fruit salads and even desserts. Plus, it's a super easy way to sneak in some extra Vitamin C.
Once you have all your ingredients, it's time to get cooking. First you'll want to peel and chop the ginger, then cut the green pepper.
Saute the chicken in Kikkoman teriyaki sauce until it's cooked about halfway through.
At that point, add your peppers and ginger and tir frequently over medium heat.
When your chicken is completely cooked, add the Dole Pineapple Chunks just long enough to warm them.
Remove from heat, let cool for a few minutes, then add to skewers. Serve the finished teriyaki chicken skewers over Minute White Rice and enjoy.
This dish was such a big hit with my family that by the time they were finished, there was nothing left but a few empty sticks!
I think these will be great on the grill too. We'll definitely have to try it next time we're cooking out.
This is the perfect meal for those days when we've been out and about and I've saved dinner for the last minute! My family doesn't care if something takes 3 hours or 30 minutes, just as long as it tastes this good, they're perfectly happy!

Interview By Yash Panchal
Mr. Deepak Bansal is the Director of R.K Films and Media Academy. He is dedicated towards the promotion of career-oriented education for the populace, brings the multifaceted Media & Entertainment industry under one roof. Under his guidance, RKFMA has been launched with a wish of chasing an audacious dream and it promises to achieve the best in its fields in the shortest possible time.
Best but challenging experience in the education industry
It is not the 'best' sector to work for but in fact most challenging. The courses offered by films and media institutions like ours do not have a mass audience but some 'class' people only join it.Moreover, any changes in the policies made by the MHRD or its subsidiaries affect us too. Being into education, we regularly need to update our curriculum, infrastructures & facilities in tune to the available technologies. This also assists in making a learner more enlightened and employable.
Leadership style
I need to be involved in all stages. This has greatly helped in keeping everyone motivated. A team with like-minded people usually succeed.
Challenges to counter as the Director of R.K Films and Media Academy
As the Director, I am entrusted and expected to take the Academy global level. For this, I require active involvement from our student community which sometimes disappoints me. Students these days are more concerned about jobs even before joining or completing their courses. This should NOT be the attitude. They should focus to enhance their learning curve first. There are work opportunities available in the industry provided a student start exploring them as they come.
An updated curriculum based on requirements of industry
This one of the best part of the Academy. Our curriculum gets updated regularly based on industry requirements without any need of having rounds of governing body or academic councils meeting as in the case of any government-affiliated institutions. There are no such bottlenecks with us in our courses. The trainers/ teachers hired at our Academy teach only what is relevant to the current scenario.
Placement opportunities at R.K Films and Media Academy
There are work opportunities available in the industry provided a student start exploring them as they come. Students are also required to be very much tech-savvy and should know the right use of their mobile devices too. Gone are the days when journalists used to rush to with mid-sized cameras and costly microphones. Today's world and media are too quick!
Available for the students during working hours
I need to be with them all the time so that I can compare their feedback with what is getting delivered. There is no point hiding from them in a 'palatial room'. Students and their parents are free to contact me anytime during the work hours.
Qualities to possess for an aspiring communication student
The students should become:
- tech savvy
- optimistic
- command in any languages of their choice
- explore options available at every level
Career tips for the media students
If they plan to make a career in the Media and Entertainment industry, do not think of immediate and lucrative returns. First understand that how to differentiate from the crowd, make some self-efforts during the academics too. Knowledge, efforts, and experiences shall be appreciated everywhere rather carrying just a certificate or degree only.

Have you ever wondered why Jesus sometimes says, "He who has ears, let him hear."?
Could it be that the Creator knows that we often hear things but don't really pay attention? And He said that thousands of years ago before the distractions we deal with were even thought about.
How many times has someone shared information with you that you later asked for because you hadn't tuned in fully to hear what they said? Yeah, it's lots for me, too.
As Jesus walked the earth, fully God and fully man, He always pointed people to the Father. He declared Himself the only way to the Father, and said He obeyed the Father. He constantly invited people to do the same.
Here in John 5:24, Jesus plainly says that those who listen to His message and believe in God will have eternal life with no condemnation.
The Amplified Version that uses more than one English word to translate the thoughts behind the Greek and Aramaic explains this way:
𝘐 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘐 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘔𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘴 -𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘔𝘺 𝘮𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘏𝘪𝘮 𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘔𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘴 (𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘸) 𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦. 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘫𝘶𝘥𝘨𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵, 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘫𝘶𝘥𝘨𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵, 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦.
Open to His words, listens to His message. Not just letting the words pass over as though insignificant.
Believes is more than brain work! It includes trust that causes one to cling to and rely on the One in whom you believe.
Has = possesses now. Not later. Not after death. We who are believers are walking around with eternal life within us. It's a part of us as surely as our skin is.
And the bonus? No judgment that leads to death. No facing the flames of hell, no eternal separation from God. No. We who possess eternal life have already dealt with that and come out on top. All because of Jesus.
Oh, Believer, hear this message today! If you have believed Jesus' message and believed in God to the point of trusting, relying, and leaning on Him, your place with Him in eternity is settled. Not merely a reservation, but a settled reality. LIFE! All yours.
Even when
you don't feel like it is.
And when you feel/sense/hear condemnation, know to your core that it is not coming from your Heavenly Father. It's not. He doesn't love you one day and condemn you the next.
Your enemy, however, wants to keep you from being confident in that truth. Time to kick him in the teeth, don't you think?
Tell that rotten one that you have believed Jesus' message and trust, rely, and lean on Almighty God and are free from condemnation. At every turn resist him and watch him flee.
Let's listen to God today. Really listen to what He says to us. Then we can walk a little taller, step a little lighter, and enjoy the confidence of our God and King.
Coffee, Bible, Journal.

Grace to you!
A certain man landed his dream job in a renowned oil company. His salary was in the high six figures and he could afford to send his children to his desired private, prestigious schools. His relationship with his wife was like an endless honeymoon and no one ever raised his or her voice in his family. One day, news broke that the company where he was working was terribly hit by an oil crisis. Layoff of staff was inevitable. Unfortunately, he was one of the victims.
No sooner had this happened than the dynamics of the family changed. The man and his family couldn't manage the crisis. He became depressed and wished to end his life. Thank God, a Catholic priest paid him a visit and ministered to his spiritual needs. The prayer and encouraging words from the priest inspired him to look to the future with hope.
Are there storms in your life? The storm could be anything that tests your faith and makes you anxious; from death of a loved one, declining health condition, loss of job, hopelessness due to poverty, betrayal, shocking family hostility, etc.
Have you been living through this storm terrified and worried about your life situation? Do you suppose your life has no value anymore as to think of ending it?
Here is the good news: The Lord Jesus is here to calm the storm. He did it over two thousand years ago by the Sea of Galilee and he still does it. Connect with the story of the calming of the storm as recorded in Mark 4 and tap the power therefrom.
Jesus was in the boat with his apostles crossing over the sea. He was asleep. A great stormy wind and the waves started to beat their boat so much that it was about to sink. The apostles woke him and said, "Do you not care if we perish?" (Mk 4:38).
Many ask the Lord similar questions: Do you not care what is happening to me and my children? Do you not care that I've lost my job? Do you not care I can't pay my bills? Do you not care I am drowning in depression? There could be many "Do you not cares" in your life. However, you have to know and believe that the Lord actually cares; he speaks peace to the storm condition.
Know this: When Jesus is asleep in our lives; that is, when we allow the storm of our lives to dwarf the reassuring presence, providence and protection of God; when we get engrossed in bad situations, we wouldn't be able to see the silver lining on the horizon. We have to trust that God will not let us down. Look up and not down. Faith and trust in the Lord keep us going through the stormy conditions.
Similarly, let us be open to the support systems God brings our way when we are engrossed by worries. You will find such, for instance, in the community of believers, in the Church, in fellowship where the warmth of worship at the Eucharistic Celebration heals the crunching pains of our worries. You will find that too through the reading of God's Word in the bible. You may find that as well by reaching out to a believing friend, a pastor, or a minister who could encourage you.
Do not allow your worries to silence you. Tell the Lord about it. Sometimes, it may be appropriate to share with a trusted friend too. Sorrows shared are sorrows reduced.
I pray God to intervene in the storms of your life. Amen.
God love you. God bless you.
Fr. Maurice Emelu
[Saturday, Week 3 of Ordinary Time: 2 Sm 12:1-7a, 10-17; Mk 4:35-41]
Author and Goal
Father Maurice Emelu PhD., provides a daily blog of reflections based on the Scriptural readings of the day from the Catholic liturgical calendar.

Do you remember that iconic rapper of 90's? Today fans of the late Notorious B.I.G. get another chance to see him as a hologram.
His holographic image and right to use it on concerts and different media campaigns is now property of ARHT Media. ARHT, or Augmented Reality Holographic Technology, is a Hollywood company. They call their holograms HumaGrams.
HumaGram is a system that deals with kind of a 3D experience without special glasses on. It's hard to imagine such technology without seeing it live, so company made a presentation earlier. Last year Tony Robbins' hologram delivered a motivational speech to an Australian audience.
Billboard tells about B.I.G.'s first appearance in an upcoming music video of his widow Faith Evans. But it is still so many unknowns about interaction of a live person and hologram.
Virtual comeback of the rapper, known as Biggie Smalls, happens with the direct blessing of Voletta Wallace, his mother, and Faith Evans.
Evans convinced that ARHT Media technology is the best way to bring back Notorious B.I.G. as was told on her official statement on company's official site.
Only a few years ago, back in 2012, Digital Domain presented a hologram of Tupac Shakur on Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
Both performers died as a result of shooting incidents. And that's not only common thing between two rappers. They both had similar career paths that now are ongoing with their holographic images.
Holographic Biggie's live performance will definitely draw some attention of audience, but it is still not clear how fans respond on his holographic pics on numerous merch.
Major businesses all over the world from KLM and Ford to Verizon and Wallmart are generously investing in VR training. Does it really reduce costs? And is there any proof of efficiency? The answer is yes. And now you'll learn why.
Our CEO Daria Fedko started a new media activity called #CEOtalk. In these columns, Daria will explore and discuss the most interesting and controversial topics from the world of XR business. This week we're gonna talk about Hololens' military contract and it's consequences for the industry.

I Can't Believe I Ate The Whole Thing!
Why Diets Fail and What to Do About It
Every year, I swear I will have better control - that I won't pig-out again. Every year, the same thing happens. In spite of my best intentions to stay present and in control, the Holiday Glutton Demon possesses me. He's a sneaky little beastie, whispering in my ear that all that gooey wonderfulness won't really hurt me - that I just think I'm allergic to it.
After the holidays, the faithless fiend deserts me, leaving me alone with the results of my folly.
Now, fat I can deal with. I am high energy and don't have much problem there. However, the bloat from toxic overload? Suffice it to say, I'm in a world of hurt. I used to mistake the bloat for fat, and try dieting it away. I've found there is more to weight gain than meets the eye (or waistline).
If we try to diet away toxicity, we are compounding the problem.
I have no illusions that I'm the only one the Glutton Demon visited this year. Yet we are all very different, and thus require different approaches to the art of exorcism.
With this in mind, I've compiled some very powerful and informative "The Science of Magic Radio" interviews I've hosted over the last years, with some of the top experts on diet, health and detoxification.
The following episode collection is my gift in helping you find your personal method to exorcise the demon.
To your health.

Our dreams have always been a mystery, yet we spend over one third of our lives in the dreamscape. There are many kinds of dreams. Dreams help us process the experiences of our day. In the dreamscape, we often commune with others - some on this side of the veil, as well as with those that have crossed over. Some dreams are interactive and lucid, much like astral projection or remote viewing, and others are prophetic. In short, we are psychic in our dreams. The following episodes showcase leading dream experts, shedding light on the mysterious land of dreams.

The Human Heart - The Great Connector
One of the most misunderstood organs in the body is the human heart. It is viewed as a simple mechanical pump. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
The Heart is actually the link between spirit and the mundane, between humans and all things. Through the heart, we can not only connect with the world, but change it.
Don't miss these two amazing episodes where Gwilda and her guests share leading edge scientific information on the true functioning of the human heart.

As we evolve and obtain more personal power, a huge topic affecting us all is spiritual power and its responsible use.
We've been dis-empowered for so long, we have lost our understanding of how powerful we really are and how power works.
For generations, our power has either been exploited by the systems or wielded unconsciously.
In this, the first of The Science of Magic Topic Driven Episode Collections, expert, progressive guests and I will explore spiritual power and how to access and responsibly wield it for the betterment of our world.

No Microsoft Windows on the first shuttle–maybe that's why it worked?
30 years ago today, I saw this live on television. And, watching it again tonight, you can tell how we were all wondering if this brand new technology was actually going to work.
This is quite a feat for 1981 considering that Pac-Man was about as advanced as we got technology-wise. Just think – DOS didn't even come out until later that year and thinking of trying to launch a space shuttle with DOS is pretty scary. Maybe they are still using good old reliable punchcards!
Back here in 2011, I'm still waiting for the yard to dry out from the two inches of rain we got yesterday. I really needed to mow tonight but it was far too wet. Maybe I'll get to it Thursday night before the next round of rain moves in.
Another exciting Tuesday is in the record books.

Erdogan informed Putin of the strike that killed four Turkish soldiers, presidential sources said, which the Turkish army assessed to have been by the forces of President Bashar al-Assad early on Thursday.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan discussed the Syrian conflict with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin by phone Friday after the Turkish army accused Moscow ally Damascus of killing its soldiers in northern Syria.
Erdogan informed Putin of the strike that killed four Turkish soldiers, presidential sources said, which the Turkish army assessed to have been by the forces of President Bashar al-Assad early on Thursday.
It was the first time Turkey had blamed the Assad regime -- which is given military support by Russia -- for a deadly strike on its troops during Ankara's three month campaign inside Syria.
Erdogan and Putin also agreed to accelerate their efforts to find a solution to the humanitarian crisis in Aleppo, where the regime continues its Moscow-backed offensive to recapture the whole city, which is divided between the government and rebels.
During the phone call, Erdogan told Putin of how the Turkish-backed offensive in Syria was evidence of Ankara's determination to fight against terror, the sources added.
'Violation of sovereignty'
The president stressed Turkey's commitment to Syria's territorial integrity -- Russia had previously said it was "deeply concerned" by Turkey's incursion while Damascus has called it a "blatant violation of sovereignty".
The presidents also backed the process to normalise relations between Russia and Turkey after the crisis sparked by the shooting down by Turkish forces of a Russian jet over Syria last year.
The army said on Friday that a fifth Turkish soldier was killed in northern Syria in clashes with Islamic State (IS) jihadists.
Seventeen Turkish soldiers have been killed since the military began an unprecedented operation in Syria on August 24 to back pro-Ankara rebels.
Turkish planes also carried out air strikes against seven IS targets in northern Syria, the army said in a statement on Friday carried by the state-run Anadolu news agency.
Turkey launched the operation in August -- dubbed "Euphrates Shield" -- in support of Syrian rebel fighters seeking to retake IS-held territory in northern Syria and also to halt the advance of Kurdish militia.
Since it began, the pro-Ankara rebels have captured the IS stronghold of Jarabulus, cleared IS from Al Rai and retaken the symbolically important town of Dabiq without much resistance.
They are now pressing to take Al Bab from the jihadists and will then move to Manbij to ensure there are no Kurdish militia members remaining, as agreed with Washington.
The battle to recapture Al Bab appears to be proving more difficult and violent as Dogan news agency reported on Friday evening that five more soldiers were injured after an IS attack.
They have been taken to the southeastern city of Kilis for medical treatment, Dogan said, adding that the total number of soldiers wounded in the day's action was seven.

Looking at the coefficients in the first equation (1, 2, 3) we notice a pattern. Adding 1 to the coefficient of x (1) gives the coefficient of y (2) and adding 1 once more gives the constant (3).A similar pattern exists in the second equation. Only, here we add -3 to the coefficients. We can say the coefficients follow an arithmetic sequence (AS). An arithmetic sequence has a common difference (d). This is the difference between two consecutive terms of the sequence. The first equation has a first term (a) of 1 and a common difference (d) of 1. The second equation has a first term (b) of 2 and a common difference (e) of -3.
In order to solve this system of equations with the method of solving simultaneous equations by elimination, we need to multiply the first equation by 2. Then we can subtract the second equation from the first equation:
As proof we can solve the simultaneous equations by the method of substitution. Rewriting the first equation as
and substituting for x in the second equation gives:
This we can solve for y:
Substituting this y-value into the second equation gives:
Now we have three equations for t which we can set equal.
This is the equation in which all planes of system (1) meet.
General conjecture
Because all of the panes graphed before intersect in the same line we can come up with the conjecture that all 3 x 3 systems of equations where the constants follow an AS intersect in the line
In the general model of 3 x 3 system a, b and c are always the first terms and d, e and f the common differences.
This system we can solve by row reduction:
As R3 000=0 we can say that the planes meet in one line. If we assume
we know from R2:
From that we get
Now we can substitute for y and z:
Now we have three equations:
The all equal t so we can say:
This is the same equation as we got before and the algebraic proof that all the planes intersect in that line. No matter values a, b, c, d, e, or f have, any 3 x 3 system of equations where the constants follow an AS will intersect in the line
. We have proven our conjecture to be true.
Part B
This is a new 2 x 2 system of linear equations:
General solution to 2 x 2 system with constants that follow a GS
We can produce a general model for a 2 x 2 system of linear equations where the constants follow a GS if we say a is the first term and r the common ratio in the first equation. In the second equation b is the first term and q the common ratio.
This system of simultaneous equations we can solve by elimination. We can divide out a in the first equation and b in the second equation. So we subtract what we end up from the second equation from the first equation:
Now we can substitute for y in the first equation. This gives us:
Proof of the general solution
To prove this we consider the 2 x 2 system of equations
In this system r=2 and q=-1/2. Using the two formulas for x and y we received above we get:
If we now solve the system by elimination for x and y:
Substituting x = 1 into the first equation gives us:
We received the same solutions. This tells us our formulas for x and y in terms of r and q are correct. We can say that the solution to any 2 x 2 system of linear equations where the constants follow a GS will be:

text: Annarchy Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Your pictures are beautiful, WE2. Sounds like you had a wonderful time. Littlesister, seem like you are making a lot of progress. OOTO, our doctor just quit. No notice, no forwarding address, nothing. He was one of two doctors that took care of me when I was born. Now, the office is a care facility, a lot of NP's doing the work, and they seem to be overworked and stressed. It's made me not want to go there. We only have one other doctor in our town, and I am not too impressed with him. Long story... Changing our cleaning day has been an intellectual challenge. Lol. I was all set Saturday, then, remembered. I ended up sweeping and tidying my office. After cleaning on Monday, I began to appreciate the day off we used to have on Sunday. I'm toying with the idea to change it back to Saturday. We'll see. Speaking of changing... we don't change time here. I hear how everyone has trouble with it. When we go to TX, we have to adjust to the time difference in the summer. I usually try to leave home an hour early, to miss rush hour. Now, we are in the same time zone with MIL. She has us fix a few of her clocks, when we first get there. The garden is sprouting! I harvested about 2-3 lbs. of tomatillos and 1/2 lb. of jalapeños, and will be making another batch of green salsa. A handful of the jalapeños were beginning to turn red, those will be diced & dehydrated for the spice jar. Smells like rain outside this morning. Lightening way up in the mountains. A few clouds around us, and crystal clear stars above us. IDK if we will get anything out of it, but it certainly would be a blessing. I covered the washer & dryer, JIC. Lol, maybe I should do our AZ rain dance...wash the vehicles......nope, I don't have the energy to do that today. I'm getting anxiously excited. After 3 years, I'm now on the finishing touches of a pastel painting. If...if....if... I hadn't procrastinated as much as I did, the AZ dust storms wouldn't have dulled the darkness on it. With pastel chalk, it's not like I can just dust it off... Hopefully, I should be able to finish it today, then, it has to be matted & framed. After taking update pictures, all this time, I'm tempted to make a flip book... that'd be something else.. but a lot of work too. Ha. I hope you are feeling better, Mt_R. Jeepers, did you get your shopping done? The sky is just beginning to lighten up, time to get to work. 1 Quote Link to post

The 2017-18 Year is Ending…
Teacher Appreciation Week: Thank you to all of the families, OPAPO members and students that took the opportunity to thank and support the educators of OPA. It is that time of year when we all reflect on the year we are about to close; it is the perfect time to thank the teachers and staff that work tirelessly for your students. So, Thank you!The Year in Review: SAGE exams, DIBEL testing and academic scores are finalizing for the 2017-18 school year. Testing and grading periods can be a stressful and anxious time for many students. Please remember that students have strengths and weaknesses and that is normal. The goal of education is to build a love of learning and teach students the skills understand and unravel the unknown. Celebrate a year of hard work and success, build strategies for summer learning, and promote resilient responsibility. We all struggle with something and coming to understand that we can build strategies to overcome the struggle rather than wallow or give-up is a lifeskill we all require. Our focus this year at OPA, has been to help students build responsibility for their education; social and academic. This focus is about building people, and supporting the natural desire children have to learn. With this focus, we enter the end of year at OPA ready to celebrate! Thank you parents and family for all you do to make OPA a great community.

About KMJ
"Simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication" - Leonardo DaVinci
White button-down men's shirt.
Sleeves loosely rolled up his forearms.
Worn jeans with a seasoned leather belt.
Salt and Pepper straight hair and an illuminating smirk.
My Dad was an artist whose minimalist uniform encapsulated his larger than life personality. He made simple more sophisticated than anyone I have ever known, and in the process, he unknowingly sparked my lifelong love affair with re-inventing everyday classic men's looks into women's couture.
I've always found myself wearing my version of that outfit while rethinking, reworking, and redoing how it could be worn. The physical boundaries of the men's shirts are what ignites my creativity and design process. To this day, I still get the biggest rush from 'pulling' the next batch of vintage shirts to offer them another life. Digging through and seeing what the potential of an otherwise forgotten shirt to repurpose in the hopes of making women feel empowered and alive!
Everyone has their favorite shirt that was their boyfriend's, their husband's, or even their father's. You can't deny that bond, that emotional tie that can come from the memory of one shirt. At KMJ we want to give you the chance to make that memory a fashion statement all your own. To let you turn something simple into your own type of sophisticated.
I've always had an eye for fashion.
As far back as five years old, I remember creating my first "piece" out of a white Hanes shirt and corralling my friends to perform a fashion show at our parent's dinner party. But my real first experience with design came as one of the winners for the 1998 Young Designer of America Competition sponsored by the Ashton-Drake Galleries. I created a design for the 'Gene' Doll which was produced and presented at the Toy Fair in NYC. It was my ticket to Art school and the beginning of my career in several facets of the fashion industry.
It didn't take long before I quit my retail job as a buyer to pursue my passion and spearhead my first brand to create what women wanted by designing pants that fit like jeans. Several years later, I am still pursuing my dream with every shirt KMJ repurposes. Creating clothing that will empower women to feel even better about themselves while taking part of a movement that the future is female.
I watch my young girls get ready each morning. They put together their outfits and dance in front of the mirror with this sense of fantasy and self-expression. That's the magic I want them to hold onto while dreaming big, and the magic I want women to feel when they put on one of my shirts!

Te Hihi School, in rural Papakura, is a full primary school for children Years 1 to 8. A newly elected board began its term in June 2016. Teachers have participated in professional learning that is supporting them to develop more flexible approaches to teaching and learning. It is also helping them to extend their use of assessment information to raise children's achievement. The board continues to work with the Ministry of Education (MoE) in preparation for the construction of new classrooms designed to provide flexible teaching and learning spaces. The school is a member of the Rosehill Community of Learning along with 11 other local primary, intermediate and secondary schools.
The vision and valued outcomes defined by the school for all children are to prepare them to be global citizens, connect them with real life learning, and acknowledge the role they have as kaitiaki/stewards of the land. The values of character, kindness and courtesy have been central to the school for many years. In addition, the SHINE values of self-management, helping, inquiring, networking and excelling are promoted. The acronym SHINE links to the Māori name for the area of Te Hihi a te Ra, the ray of the sun.
The school's achievement information shows that approximately 80 percent of children achieve the National Standards for mathematics and reading, and approximately 76 percent achieve the writing National Standards. The majority of Māori and Pacific children achieve the National Standards. It is evident that the school has been successfully and consistently improving the achievement of these groups across all National Standards, over the past four years.
Good processes are followed to support teachers to make reliable judgements in relation to the National Standards. Teachers contribute to assessment moderation in their teaching teams and across the staff. Moderation is linked to the ongoing evaluation and discussion about the progress of children at risk of not achieving. Senior leaders have a key role in moderation and closely check data for any anomalies and follow these up. Senior leaders are well informed and have good knowledge of children's learning strengths, needs and interests.
Since the last ERO evaluation the school has:
The school responds well to children who need to make accelerated progress. Children benefit from programmes and practices that are responsive to their learning strengths, needs and interests. The board, principal and teachers demonstrate a strong commitment to prioritising and responding to Māori and other children who are at risk of not achieving the National Standards. There are clear links between the school's achievement goals and the deliberate actions taken to accelerate the progress of these children. School documentation contains good evidence of children's accelerated progress.
Teachers share a collective responsibility for promoting children's learning. They regularly meet to develop and plan strategies to support children to achieve. Teachers are quick to identify the learning needs of the children in their class and implement appropriate strategies and programmes. Senior leaders and teachers closely monitor the progress of every individual child, as well as broader overall progress towards achieving the school's charter goals. Trustees are well informed about the progress towards charter goals.
Children are respected as capable learners who can make decisions about their learning. They demonstrate confidence as learners and engage well in class programmes. Teachers support children's progress by giving them useful feedback about what they are doing well and how they could improve their learning. Children have learnt to use learning progressions and exemplars well and particularly in Years 3 to 8, many are able to identify their achievement and next learning steps. These practices are helping children to have greater ownership of their own learning and progress, and contributing to motivating them to achieve.
Teachers regularly monitor and evaluate children's progress. They use a variety of appropriate assessments to guide their overall judgements about each child's achievement. Inclusive and responsive approaches support children with special or additional learning needs. Individualised programmes are developed for children at risk of not achieving National Standards. These are tailored for each child's specific learning needs. The board funds teacher aides to support these learners within their class programmes.
Teachers provide parents with useful information about children's learning. Parents have regular opportunities to discuss their children's achievement and to work with teachers to share strategies and support learning progress. Senior leaders and teachers develop positive working relationships with the parents of learners who require additional and targeted support.
The school uses good processes and practices to promote equity and excellence in children's outcomes. The school charter, learning programmes and teacher appraisals have a common focus on improving practices to ensure all children are successful learners.
The school's inclusive and welcoming culture supports children to develop a sense of self efficacy as learners. Children are valued as unique individuals and are encouraged to participate in and contribute making decisions about their learning. Children have regular opportunities to reflect on their learning and school activities. Teachers and leaders respond well to children's perspectives and ideas.
The school's curriculum aligns well to the values, principles and key competencies of The New Zealand Curriculum (NZC). Literacy and mathematics are emphasised as the foundation skills for learning. Because the curriculum is designed to integrate different learning areas, children have many opportunities to apply these skills as they undertake their individual and group inquiries. Children are benefitting from a meaningful, global and localised curriculum that is growing their understanding of the community and the environment.
Children's cultures are increasingly well acknowledged and included in class programmes. This supports children to have a greater sense of identity in their class and school. Senior leaders and teachers are integrating bicultural practices in curriculum programmes and into school life. The school charter includes strategies to guide support for building Māori children's sense of identity in the school and promoting their educational success. All children have opportunities to gain knowledge of Māori culture and language. Children confidently participate in and lead kapa haka which is a valued part of the school's curriculum and protocols.
The principal and senior leaders focus on teaching and curriculum developments to enhance learning outcomes for children. To achieve this they actively promote professional collaboration. The momentum for school development that they lead is well paced. Teachers' professional learning and collaboration is resulting in more cohesive understandings of effective teaching and assessment practices across the school. Increasingly, consistent teaching approaches are supporting children's learning confidence as they transition through the school, particularly in Years 3 to 8.
Trustees' professional approach to their stewardship responsibilities and sound processes ensure the board meets its statutory obligations. Trustees work well as a team and in sub-committees. They are keenly interested in the reports they receive about student achievement. This year the charter targets have been more explicitly focused on accelerating specific learners' progress. The board has recently begun receiving information that tracks children's accelerated progress over the past four years. This longitudinal data should help the board to more specifically plan for and evaluate this progress.
There are high levels of community engagement in school life and events. The principal and trustees seek, value and include the school community's perspectives in planning and decision-making. The board has identified extending partnerships with whānau to support their children's learning and progress, as a priority.
Internal evaluation is used well by the principal, trustees and teachers to sustain improvements and guide school development. Progress towards the charter's strategic aims and annual goals is regularly monitored and evaluated. Teachers are well supported to reflect on how effectively their teaching practices impact on children's learning. Trustees have identified that it would be useful for them to evaluate their stewardship of the school.
Leaders and teachers:
School leaders and trustees support staff to engage all children in a curriculum that builds on their capabilities and accelerates the progress of those who are at risk of not achieving.
Parents' participation in and contribution to the life of the school is very evident. Enhancing partnerships with parents and whānau is seen by the school as an important way of improving children's learning and promoting their wellbeing. School leaders are well aware that partnership with parents is particularly important for the children who need to make accelerated progress in relation to the National Standards.
Senior leaders recognise that other relevant priorities for development include:
ERO is likely to carry out the next review in three years.
Before the review the board of trustees and principal of the school completed the ERO board assurance statement and Self Audit Checklists. In these documents they attested that they had taken all reasonable steps to meet their legislative obligations related to the following:
board administration
management of health, safety and welfare
personnel management
asset management.
During the review, ERO checked the following items because they have a potentially high impact on student safety and wellbeing:
emotional safety of students (including prevention of bullying and sexual harassment)
physical safety of students
teacher registration
processes for appointing staff
stand down, suspensions, expulsions and exclusions
compliance with the provisions of the Vulnerable Children Act 2014
provision for international students.
The Education (Pastoral Care of International Students) Code of Practice 2016 (the Code) was introduced on July 1st 2016. The school is aware of the need to update its policies and procedures to meet the new code requirements by December 2016. Te Hihi School belongs to Schools International Education Business Association (SIEBA) that is working on this alignment on behalf of its member schools.
ERO recommends that the board, senior leaders and teachers continue to use internal evaluation to guide the development of strategies to improve outcomes for Māori and other children whose learning needs acceleration.

Solar energy is poised for yet another record year
The U.S. solar industry is on course for a new growth record in 2015, according to a new report that finds that solar photovoltaic installations now exceed 20 gigawatts in capacity and could surpass an unprecedented 7 gigawatts this year alone across all segments. A gigawatt is equivalent to 1 billion watts and can power some 164,re000 homes, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA).
The new report, from GTM Research and SEIA, covers the second quarter of 2015, which set a new record for residential rooftop solar installations in particular, a category that saw 70 percent year-over-year growth. 473 megawatts of residential solar capacity were installed, or nearly half a gigawatt.
"It's setting records every quarter," says Shayle Kann, senior vice president of GTM Research and lead author of the report, of the residential segment.
The report comes just weeks after President Obama traveled to Las Vegas — a particularly fast-paced solar market — to sing the industry's praises and cast solar, and particularly "distributed" solar on rooftops, as an icon of progress and technological innovation.
