New Downtown Apartments Inspire Business Optimism
Related Story
COLUMBIA - Construction continued Monday on a number of new apartment buildings along Tenth and Locust in downtown. Brookside Downtown, a complex that houses 36 units between two buildings, is scheduled to be completed in August. It will bring between 72 and 144 more residents to the downtown shopping area known as "The District."
An increase in population for the area is expected to boost business for Hitt Street Mini Mart, said owner Sunny Patel. The store is expanding to include more groceries and new coolers. Patel said the expansion is expected to be done in August, coinciding with the completion of Brookside Downtown.
Other buildings in the area are also feeling the pressure to improve their facilities. Carrie Gartner, director of The District, said competition is leading a "Tenth Street renaissance." She said at least two other apartment buildings are renovating.
Students living in an already-completed phase of Brookside Downtown are optimistic about the new buildings as well. Garen McElroy said the new apartments will bring more business to nearby bar Harpo's. "It's definitely a positive," McElroy said.

When I first started blogging and heard about a media kit, I was confused like you probably are right now! I didn't understand the purpose of it or how it would benefit my blogging journey. However, now I see the importance of media kits for Influencers.
I've received many questions on what a media kit is, how to create one, and what to include. And that's what we will discuss in this post! By the time you finish reading this, you'll know how to create an attractive, professional media kit that'll help you get brand partnerships!
Although this post is lengthy, it has all the information you need on media kits for Influencers.
By the way, if you aren't subscribed to my blog yet, why not! Go ahead and click here so you can start receiving my free tips that don't make it to my blog or Instagram page, and start taking part in subscriber-only giveaways!
What is a Media Kit?
A media kit is a document (one page or more) that summarizes must-know information about your blog and/or social media platforms. It's a quick summary for brands to review when they're looking for a possible collaboration and want to know your key stats.A Media Kit is a document that summarizes must-know information about your personal brand. Click To Tweet
As a new Influencer, an ideal length for your media kit is 1-2 pages. As you continue to gain more experience and grow, you can start including more information.
Media kits for Influencers will vary, yours won't look the same as someone else's. This document outlines how great YOUR personal brand is and shows why a brand should choose you for a partnership over someone else.
Why Should You Have One?
A media kit is an essential marketing tool when it comes to collaborating with brands. It's also used as a promotional tool to show your best stats, past brands you've worked with, and services you provide.
Having a media kit is the best way to show brands how serious you are about what you do. If you want to eventually become a full-time Influencer, then you should have one!Having a Media Kit is important. It's used as a promotional tool to feature your best stats, past collaborations, and services you offer. Click To Tweet
As I said in the previous section, having a media kit can help you stand out from the crowd. It can be the reason you're selected for a partnership over someone else who may not have one. It'll show what value you can offer for each brand that is interested in working with you.
How Do You Create One?
There are two options when it comes to creating a media kit.
You can purchase a Media Kit Template on a website called Creative Market. From what I've seen, the highest cost is around $30. There's also a website called Envato where you can look for different templates.
I decided to take the free route and created my media kit on Canva. I wanted to have as much control over the colors and fonts used in mine. Canva also has pre-designed media kit templates if you don't want to create one from scratch. When you're on the website, type in "Media Kit" in the search bar.
What is Included?
Here is what should be included in media kits for Influencers:
Your picture + short bio
You should have a nice, professional picture of yourself and a short bio about who you are, what you do, and the purpose of your brand. Why did you start your page/blog? What value are you bringing to your followers/readers?
Social Media Following
Include your follower count on social media platforms you're most active on for your personal brand. Showing your stats on different platforms will give brands an idea of your reach and where your target audience is.
Blog Stats + Demographics
If you have a blog, then you should be familiar with Google Analytics. Google Analytics provides a breakdown of your website and shows how many monthly visitors you have, popular posts, information on your readers, and more!
You can include your monthly page views, the audience demographics, and if you want, you can include the number of email subscribers you have when creating your media kit.
**Your audience demographics are the percentage of females vs males that visit your blog and the different age groups your blog attracts. For example, you may have 98% of women and 2% male visiting the most between the ages of 20-30.
Knowing who your audience is will help you choose the best partnerships. Using the example above, if a brand reached out and wanted to collaborate with you on skincare products for older women, you'll know this isn't the best option since most of your visitors are around the ages of 20-30!
Contact Information
In this section, it's important to include the best email you can be reached at, your website URL, and your social media handles for the platforms you listed. Some people include their phone number and address here, however, if you're not comfortable then it's not necessary!
Services Offered
Another thing you want to have on your media kit is your collaboration options or services you offer. This will give brands an idea of how they can work with you during a partnership. Here are examples of services you can include:
- Sponsored Blog Post
- Social Media Campaigns
- Brand Ambassadorship
- Event Hosting
And anything else you would be interested in doing for a collaboration.
Past Partnerships
If you have experience working with brands, then it's great to include them on your media kit. It's okay if you are just starting out and don't have anything to add! Don't let that discourage you. Everyone has to start somewhere.If you have experience collaborating with brands, you want to include this on your Media Kit. Click To Tweet
One thing you can do is find the logo of each brand you worked with and add it, or you can simply type out the name of the brands you've worked with. The picture I attached near the beginning of this post will give you an idea of how it should look.
Do You Include Your Rates?
If you charge for your content, I don't recommend adding your rates in your media kit. Why? Because you don't know what the brand will expect from you in the partnership. You may have a certain rate for one service, but the amount of work they're asking for can increase your rates. You don't want to be stuck in a partnership where you feel you aren't being paid your
Related Post: How to Set Your Rates for Collaborations
Your rates for the services you provide should be on a separate document, and it's important to remember these will not be the same as other Influencers.The rates you charge for your content shouldn't be included on your Media Kit. It should be on a separate document. Click To Tweet
When Should You Send Your Media Kit?
A media kit is essential when discussing partnerships with brands. One company may reach out to you via email and ask for a copy of your media kit, and that's when you would attach the document and send it to them for review.
Make sure you're able to access your media kit at any
Another time to send a media kit is when you're pitching yourself to a brand. In your initial email, you can attach the media kit or let the brand know you'd be happy to send one over if they're interested in discussing a partnership with you.
Related Post: How to Confidently Pitch Yourself to Brands
Woooooo that was a lot of information, so if you made it to the end of this post I'm proud of you! After reading this, you should have all of the information you need to create a media kit. Media kits for Influencers are important to have if you want to take your brand serious and want brands to do the same.
You want to stand out from the crowd of other Influencers that are pitching to the same brand. Show them why they should work with you and the value they'll receive from doing so.
I hope this post gave you a better understanding of what a media kit is and why it's important. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me via email or on my social media platforms!
Do you have a Media Kit? If not, do you plan on creating one now?

Book design
Book design is the art of incorporating the content, style, format, design, and sequence of the various components of a book into a coherent whole. In the words of Jan Tschichold, "methods and rules upon which it is impossible to improve, have been developed over centuries. To produce perfect books, these rules have to be brought back to life and applied."
Front matter, or preliminaries, is the first section of a book, and is usually the smallest section in terms of the number of pages. Each page is counted, but no folio or page number is expressed, or printed, on either display pages or blank pages.

We at Bourbon and Banter love classic whiskey ads. A while ago, I stumbled across some pretty amazing Seagram's ads from back in the 1940's. These ads predict what the future may look like for the sophisticated Seagram's drinker. Apparently, they are men only…sorry, but it was the 1940's. Many of the ads include fanciful stuff like atomic powered farms and vacuum tube power plants, and some are amazingly prophetic. This clearly shows that discriminating whiskey drinkers have always been the renascences thinkers of the new millennium.
By today's standards, I guess Seagram's V.O. is a relatively common spirit, and I have to admit, Canadian Whisky is not my first, choice – although it is a reasonable substitute when there is no bourbon for a Manhattan. In 1913 by Joseph E. Seagram himself developed the V.O. blend. The story has it that he developed the special blend to celebrate his son's wedding. I guess this is why you find it at so many wedding bars.
A few of the ads focus on food retail, which I guess makes sense for a spirit that is often enjoyed with meals. Between food trucks and home delivery grocery shopping, they pretty much got it right. The supermarket of the future includes cashless transactions and drive-in pickup. Today we call it "Click and Collect." There is even a facsimile to internet shopping having them packed and delivered to you.
You have to love their early idea of sports bars. I cannot believe how right on they were with big screen, flat panel TV's. Remember that television did not gain mass popularity until the '50's. Perhaps as a liquor company like Seagram's has good insight on how sports and whiskey go together. Seagram's view appears more sedate and civilized than the sports bar I frequent. I have two big problems with their concept, male only and hockey? It was the '40's, and I guess it is not surprising that a purveyor of Canadian Whisky chose to feature hockey.
They ran several ads with ideas showing a pretty sharp focus on the future of communications. These include from cell phones, Skype, and internet news delivery. It would be hard to imagine a better prediction in the context of that time.
They also predicted some things that it is hard to imagine they saw coming.
It was shocking to see a version of Amazon delivery drones. I would have thought that a parachute would have been the obvious choice. This futurist even got the analog to a helicopter right.
How about 3-D Movies? Perhaps not revolutionary, but the first "talkies" only came out about a decade before. Color movies would not see wide usage until the early 1950's. By the way, no one in the theater appears to be wearing 3-D glasses.
Perhaps it would surprise even Sir Richard Branson and Elon Musk to see that Seagram's predicted commercial space flight 50 years before them. While, it is true that rockets had been in use as weapons in World War II. But we wouldn't see the first manned space flight until Yuri Gagarin, made his famous flight in 1961.
Finally the folks at Seagram's have even proposed an analogy to genetically modified crops. Not so much with gene therapy but much the same idea.
These are some of the ads I found particularly interesting. There are many more than these from Seagram's and other sources on the internet. All I can say is the future remains bright, drink whisky.

Bone Fractures Bone Fractures Thank goodness it's only a fracture. I thought it might be broken. People often think that a fracture is less severe than a broken bone, but fractures are broken bones. To understand why bones break, it helps to know what bones do and what they are made of.
The bones of the body form the human frame, or skeleton, which supports and protects the softer parts of the body. Bones are living tissue.They grow rapidly during one's early years, and renew themselves when they are broken. Bones have a center called the marrow, which is softer than the outer part of the bone. Bone marrow has cells that develop into red blood cells that carry oxygen to all parts of the body and into white blood cells that help fight disease. Bones also contain the minerals calcium and phosphorus.
We Will Write a Custom Essay Specifically
For You For Only $13.90/page!

These minerals are combined in a crystal-like or latticework structure.Because of their unique structure, bones can bear large amounts of weight. Bones are rigid, but they do bend, or give somewhat when an outside force is applied to them. When this force stops, bone returns to its original shape. For example, if you fall forward and land on your outstretched hand, there's an impact on the bones and connective tissue of your wrist as you hit the ground. The bones of the hand, wrist and arm can usually absorb this shock by giving slightly and then returning to their original shape and position.If the force is too great, however, bones will break, just as a plastic ruler breaks after being bent too far.
The severity of a fracture usually depends on the force that caused the fracture. If the bone's breaking point has been exceeded only slightly, then the bone may crack rather than breaking all the way through. If the force is extreme, such as in an automobile collision or a gunshot, the bone may shatter. If the bone breaks in such a way that bone fragments stick out through the skin or a wound penetrates down to the broken bone, the fracture is called an open fracture.This type of fracture is particularly serious because once the skin is broken, infection in both the wound and the bone can occur. Because fractures hurt and make it difficult if not impossible to use the part of the body that is injured, most people call a doctor or seek emergency care quickly. In some cases, however, a person can walk on a fractured bone in the leg or foot, or use a fractured arm.
Just because you can use your hand or foot does not mean that you do not have a fracture. If you think a bone may be broken, you should seek medical help immediately.A medical examination and x-rays are usually necessary to tell for sure and to ensure proper treatment. It is very important to control the movement of a broken bone.
Moving a broken or dislocated bone can cause additional damage to the bone, nearby blood vessels, and nerves or other tissues surrounding the bone. That's why people giving first aid or emergency treatment may splint or brace your injury before medical treatment is given. Also, if there is an open wound it should be covered by a clean cloth or bandage on the way to further medical treatment.At the emergency room, clinic or doctor's office, the physician usually applies a splint to prevent further damage, to lessen the pain and to help stop any bleeding. The patient is usually asked to recline and elevate the injured part. Elevation helps to reduce bleeding and swelling. X-rays can help the physician determine whether there is a fracture, and if so, what type of fracture it is.
If there is a fracture, the doctor will reduce it, by restoring the parts of the broken bone to their original positions.Reduction is the technical term for this process. All forms of treatment of broken bones follow one basic rule: the broken pieces must be put back into position and prevented from moving out of place until they are healed. Broken bone ends heal by knitting back together with new bone being formed around the edge of the broken parts. The specific method of treatment depends on the severity of the break, whether it is open or closed, and the specific bone involved. There are many different treatments for bone fractures.
A plaster or fiberglass cast is the most common type of fracture treatment, because most broken bones can heal successfully once they have been repositioned and a cast has been applied to keep the broken ends in proper position while they heal. The cast or brace allows limited or controlled movement of nearby joints. This treatment is desirable for some but not all fractures. Traction is usually used to align a bone or bones by a gentle, steady pulling action. The pulling force may be transmitted to the bone through skin tapes or a metal pin through a bone.
Traction may be used as a preliminary treatment, before other forms of treatment. Another treatment is open reduction and internal fixation. In this type of treatment, an orthopedist must perform surgery on the bone.During this operation, the bone fragments are first repositioned (reduced) into their normal alignment, and then held together with special screws or by attaching metal plates to the outer surface of the bone. The fragments may also be held together by inserting rods down through the marrow space in the center of the bone. These methods of treatment can reposition the fracture fragments very exactly.
Because of the risks of surgery, however, and possible complications, such as infection, they are used only when the orthopedic surgeon considers such treatment to be the most likely to restore the broken bone to normal function. In external fixation, pins or screws are placed into the broken bone above and below the fracture site. Then the orthopedic surgeon repositions the bone fragments. The pins or screws are connected to a metal bar or bars outside the skin.This device is a stabilizing frame that holds the bones in the proper position so they can heal. After an appropriate period of time, the external fixation device is removed.
Each of these treatment methods can lead to a completely healed, well-aligned bone that functions well. Remember that the method of treatment depends on the type and location of the fracture, the seriousness of the injury, the condition and needs of the patient, and the judgment of the orthopedist and the patient. Successful treatment of a fracture also depends greatly on the patient's cooperation. A cast or fixation device may be inconvenient and cumbersome, but without one a broken bone can't heal properly.The result may be a painful or poorly functioning bone or joint.
Exercises during the healing process and after the bone heals are essential to help restore normal muscle strength, joint motion and flexibility. Help your broken bone heal properly-follow your orthopedists advice. Even though healthy bones are very strong, any bone will break if the force applied against it is great enough. Bones that are weakened by disease or misuse may break more easily than healthy bones.To develop and maintain healthy bones, a person needs adequate amounts of calcium and proper exercise. Because of the way bones are made, calcium is very important in the growth, development, and maintenance of strong bones.
Adequate amounts of calcium are necessary as a child grows and for the adult as well. Women, in particular, must have enough calcium in their diet. The female hormone estrogen regulates the use of calcium in women's bodies. Following menopause, when women produce far less estrogen, calcium regulation is more difficult.So it is very important that women make their bones as strong as possible before menopause, through weight-beating exercise and adequate calcium in their diets. In some women after menopause, bones fracture very easily because they have been weakened by calcium depletion.
Because of the way bones are made, they also get stronger with regular but not excessive exercise. If a person is active, bones will become stronger and more dense. The bones of an inactive person are often not as strong and may fracture more easily than those of an active person. For this reason, older people should try to remain physically active.Proper diet and exercise, along with an understanding of what bones are made of and how they break, may help in preventing some fractures.
If you do break a bone, seek medical treatment and remember-follow your orthopedists advice.

The Green Bay Blizzard have resigned defensive lineman Deldrick Canty for the 2019 IFL season. At 6'2 and 260 pounds, Canty played all four seasons at Louisiana Tech and recorded 27 tackles as a senior. Deldrick also forced 2 fumbles and had 2.5 sacks.
"Canty is a technician and is fundamentally sound. It's always great to bring a guy back who can play good football and improve our defensive line play" says head coach Corey Roberson.
Canty came to the Blizzard late in the 2018 season and recorded six tackles with one fumble recovery.

50th Anniversary, what is the perfect gifts?We "women of a certain age" are dynamic, multidimensional women, with many interests. So, why do all those "dimensions" make buying gifts for us seem more challenging than wrestling with a pair of pantyhose on a hot and sweaty summer's day? When that special birthday is at hand, why are we often stumped? What to get the woman who seems to have everything? To make it easier for you, we've put together a group of gift suggestions that will appeal to the amazing woman you know and love.
1. Fashion without the Fashion :Clothing is a very personal thing to try and purchase for someone. And unless you know specifically what that someone wants, a gift certificate from her favorite boutique might be a better (and safer) idea. But that is a little boring. Try this gift grouping that will make a splash for that 50+ fashionista, and be sure to wrap it up pretty: first, a subscription to Vogue Magazine is always a fantastic treat. Include a DVD copy of the movie The September Issue, the iconic film chronicling editor-in-chief Anna Wintour's preparations for the 2007 fall fashion issue (it weighed five pounds!) And third, since everyone falls in love with Grace Coddington (Vogue's longtime creative director) once they watch the film, include a copy of the book Grace, (Coddington's biography) where she dishes about all things fashion — it's a perfect piece to round out this "couture collection." (This gift ranges from $13.95 and up, depending on how many goodies you'd like to include.)
2. Rent Mother Nature:We LOVE this gift because it keeps on giving. This gift subscription will provide the 50+ City Slicker (who thinks she'd rather be a farmer) with a connection to farming, without ruining her manicure. The premise of Rent Mother Nature is similar to a CSA, but it's more direct because you actually lease your own little corner of a farm... or a beehive in the Catskills, a cocoa tree in the rainforest of Costa Rica or a cow on a farm in Massachusetts. And the farmer does all the work! The gift recipient will receive all of whatever the lease yields (cheese, honey, cocoa, etc.), and in turn she will be helping small farmers throughout the world. Now that is a gift to feel good about! (The gift leases range from $39.95 and up, with the majority in the $59.95 price range.)
3. For the Chocolate Lover:Perfect for one person or a group of friends, siblings, and moms and daughters (a great idea for a Mother's Day gift too!). A chocolate tour like the NYC Luxury
Chocolate Tour (other similar tours are available in all major cities) is a great way to celebrate the BA50 who loves all things cacao. Traveling from one decadent shop to another and sampling chocolate truffles, bonbons, and a host of other luscious treats will send everyone to chocolate heaven. And if purchasing sweets as you go along is not enough, be totally decadent and add a Giant Chocolate Slab from Hotel Chocolat — another delicious layer to this delectable gift. (The cost of the 2-hour Chocolate Tour is $70 per person, and the Chocolate Slabs are $27.00 per slab.)

The Loop (Games)
Do you like this video?
The Flairon is a flail weaponthat has a 20% chance of being dropped by Duke Fishron. It has the second highest damage of any flail in the game as of 1.3, and it also has the ability to shoot homing bubbles when used. The farther the Flairon goes, the more bubbles it will shoot out.
The Flairon can outclass any other melee weapon if used in an open space. By intentionally missing the target(s), the player can spawn huge amounts of bubbles which will immediately home in on any monsters within range.
- Despite the Flairon's similar appearance to weapons like the Sunfury and Blue Moon, the fact that it has the autoreuse property and is unaffected by gravity place it closer to the Golem Fist.
- The Flairon can be thrown through walls that are only a block thick as long as the player is pushing against the wall.
- The Flairon is capable of killing Duke Fishron within 20 seconds, the downside is that the player gets this weapon from Duke Fishron.
- Like every flail, the best possible prefix is "Godly".
- As with most(if not all) homing capabilities, the bubbles do not home in on players in PvP.
- The name is a portmanteau of "Flail" and "Fishron."
Update Info
- Added to the game.

When informed upon awaking, Schwartz finds the inconspicuousness amusing. Running with the thread, he eyes an entering customer. "Oh, look, here's Roddy [Bottum, Imperial Teen guitarist/vocalist/drummer] now! Hey, Roddy!" The anonymous patron offers a confused smile and nod before making his way past us.
It's a harmless joke, but a telling one; the question of identity figures prominently into Imperial Teen's not-quite-two-year history (year one was spent as Star 69, before the band received a letter from the lawyers of an identically monikered East Coast group). For those with score cards to mark, Bottum is the keyboardist for Faith No More, while drummer/guitarist/bassist/vocalist Lynn Perko will be remembered by many as the gal who banged the traps for much-loved San Francisco notables Sister Double Happiness (Imperial Teen is Schwartz's first band, while Stebbins had played with Perko "years and years ago" in Reno-based punkers the Wrecks).
An impressive pedigree that many a local band toiling in obscurity might sacrifice its eyeteeth for, it's nonetheless a burdensome one for a fledgling unit hoping to distinguish itself unencumbered by its lineage and as more than a "side project." Throw in the logistical nightmare of juggling schedules to accommodate Bottum's other gig, along with the generally pathetic legacy of rock's "Featuring Members Of" subgenre, and one could see why Imperial Teen might relish the kind of anonymity implied by Schwartz's jest.
"It's sort of an issue at this point," reflects the real Bottum after everyone has finally arrived. "Until we establish ourselves as a band unto itself without any other connections, I think it will be. It's sort of an internal issue for us, too -- we're not sure whether we'd like to use it or ignore it, so it's a little awkward. But it helps us out too, definitely."
"What it comes down to is, it's what we are," Perko adds. "We can't help it, and we're pretty honest about it. It's either hide the fact, or it's like, 'OK, there it is,' and just downplay it as much as we can and get on with what we're doing -- and that's what we've been doing."
Seasick, Imperial Teen's debut, does much to fortify Perko's claim. Slated for a May release, the record is the result of a week's worth of studio time last year. It's also the product of a band that, at the time, had been together for a scant six months. Brimming with eloquently simple song structures and an undeniably fresh-faced enthusiasm, Seasick handily accomplishes the Teens' self-stated goal of capturing "the freshness and innocence of a band in its infancy." In keeping with that theme, the Teens had hoped to get either Kelley Deal or supermodel Naomi Campbell to produce the effort (both, unfortunately, were as unavailable as they are inexperienced). In the end, they settled for the similarly untrained hands of Red Kross bassist Steve McDonald. "I think he was sort of in tune with where we were at," Schwartz recounts. "He's never really produced before, so he was coming from a similar place." Plus, Stebbins adds, "He's a great go-go dancer -- and he's not too hard on the eyes, if you know what I mean."
If Seasick's origin smacks of childlike naivete, though, its resultant tone might better be described as bratty. Rife with sugarcoated sarcasm, the album's most striking moments come from the juxtaposition of catchy, sing-along melodies with lyrics that cut past the bone and into the marrow. "Luxury" ties a lullaby lilt to an opening salvo of "I licked the lap of luxury, bit off enough to chew/ I love the taste of anything that I can spit at you." Likewise, "Imperial Teen" delivers a strolling cadence and the maxim, "One fat lip, one black eye, one back/ True love's not worth much more than that." A subversion, perhaps, of the pop music tradition?
"I'm a very cynical person," Bottum says, "and any words I write will sort of reflect that. And if I'm doing something along the lines of happy music, I think I tend to overcompensate and probably act uglier than I am."
"It just kind of came out. It wasn't like a conscious thing, like, 'Oh, we're going to write biting lyrics,' " Schwartz adds. "I'll write happy baby flower words someday, maybe."
For the time being, though, "someday" will have to wait; the band is currently preoccupied with the album's forthcoming public unveiling. Long held up by Slash Records' inability to find a suitable distributor after its arrangement with Warner Bros. ended early last year, Seasick's delayed release has given Imperial Teen ample time to build up anticipation -- and anxiety. "It's coming down pretty intensely right now, and it's a whole new thing to have to deal with," admits Stebbins. "It's exciting, but it's also a little nerve-racking, because it's kind of out of our hands at this point; we don't know where it's going to go."
Which isn't to say that Imperial Teen doesn't have its preferences. "We're a small band, I think -- that's our philosophy," Schwartz offers. "And I think there's this world being created around us that wants to make us a larger band, but we try to concern ourselves with what's going on in that small place, you know? That Place of Small." Sounds like a pretty good place to be. They might even be easier to pick out of a crowd there.

Mezy Charity Fundraising – Metastatic Breast Cancer is breast cancer that has spread beyond the breast to other organs in the body, most often the bones, lungs, liver and brain. It's incurable and our best friend Kath, young mum of 2, has it.
The five year survival rates are very low with the median life expectancy just 26 months so we knew we had to do something to assist her in undertaking every type of treatment possible in the hope she will get more time with her 2 young children, Jesse 5 & Holly just 1.
We are reaching out to you to assist us in raising funds ASAP to cover medical treatments over the next 6 months, so Kath can undertake both mainstream and natural treatment options, giving her more time with her beautiful kids. We ask you to dig deep and support Kath. Much love Raych, Deb & Sherri xo
Kath's Story
My name is Kath. I am 41 years old, I am a mother of two, a wife, a daughter and a sister.
As much as I find sharing my very personal story extremely difficult, it is something I have to do, for the sake of my children, and in the quest to buy more time with them, so that they form beautiful memories and experiences with me. My wish is to live long enough for them to be old enough to remember.
In August 2012, I finished breastfeeding my son, Jesse, and noticed a small lump in my left breast. I told my GP who told me to go and get it further investigated. I wasn't too concerned, and thought "as if it would be something bad? I've always been healthy, and I'm young". After a few months of regularly checking the lump, I noticed it had gotten bigger. It was then that I decided to go and have scans done, after Christmas.
We had a lovely time for Jesse's first Christmas. Soon after, Kel and I got engaged, Jesse turned one, and everything was wonderful. Then I had the scans done, then a biopsy, and it all went downhill from there. On Australia Day 2013, my GP broke the news to me that I had breast cancer, and it was a nasty one. I was absolutely devastated. I couldn't believe such a thing could happen to me. Then I went into fight mode, and underwent surgery (removal of lump and lymph nodes), 6 rounds of very strong chemotherapy, then 6 weeks of radiotherapy, and emerged out of it ready to be fit and healthy and disease-free. I started eating a very clean diet, exercising very regularly, and slowly gained my health and fitness back. I began to put all of the cancer stuff behind me, and not live life in fear.
Life was travelling along pretty well. After two years of good health, I fell pregnant with my baby girl, Holly. The pregnancy was fairly easy, and in Feb 2016, my big hairball baby girl was born! It was wonderful. She was a very easy baby, and a happy little soul.
On November 28th, 2016, I was doing a Body Pump class and I hurt my back. I had a niggly spot in my mid back since I was pregnant with Holly, but just thought it was an annoying little rib injury from when I was very pregnant. It would come and go. This time it didn't get better with manual therapy, and I had nerve damage too. Being an Osteopath, I went into panic mode, as I knew that a disc injury in the sore area is unlikely, so a tumour must be ruled out.
Given my history, I felt extremely anxious and the icing on the cake was that I was pregnant with my third child, so I was even more worried. I had an MRI done in mid December 2016, which confirmed that I had cancer in my spine. Not just in one spot, but in many spots. My whole world fell apart. Kel and I were absolutely heart broken. The grief and sadness was almost too much to bear. My devastation for the kids, who will lose their mummy way too soon, seemed insurmountable and we had no choice but to terminate the pregnancy to deal with my immediate health and get as much time as possible for me and the kids.
Kel and I were to move back to northern Victoria to be closer to family and friends. We sold our business in Perth, and some amazing friends organised a working bee at our house to get it ready to rent. It was a crazy couple of weeks. We flew back to Victoria for Christmas, and I decided to stay there with family and the kids while Kel went back to Perth to pack up the house and work throughout January. I had no choice but to start treatment ASAP.
In January, I had further scans done, which revealed that I also had cancer in my pelvic bone, and in my liver and possibly in my lung. This was bad news. My back pain was severe, especially at night, and I was relying on heavy painkillers to live a normal life. I couldn't lift my baby girl, and I couldn't look after my kids without help.
I had 5 sessions of radiotherapy to my spine, and after a few weeks, my pain had disappeared, so I'm now able to function as normal and look after my kids, which is great. The radiotherapy is not a cure – it is palliative, so it is done to ease the pain only. I'm also doing chemotherapy, every week for 18 weeks. I'm about to go in for my 5th session, and so far it has been not too bad. I'm tired, and soon I will be shaving off what is left of my hair. This is very difficult, but unavoidable. Again, the chemo will not cure me, just buy me more time.
Chemo is only one type of treatment. If I want to give myself the best chance of keeping the cancer at bay, for as long as possible, I need to try everything that has shown scientifically to reduce cancer. This includes natural treatments such as vitamin infusions and hyperthermia, which complements the chemotherapy, offered by the National Institute of Integrative Medicine, in Melbourne. Each treatment (weekly for at least 18 weeks) costs $1200. There are many other treatment options, all of which cost big dollars, and may involve travelling overseas to hospitals which offer amazing treatments unavailable here in Australia. The average cost per round of treatment in one of these hospitals is $20,000, and I could need 2-3 rounds of treatment, depending on my response.
As a young mother of a 5 & 1 year old, it is so important to my family and I, for me to be around for many more years. The stats are against me so any donations would mean the world to us, as I will be able to afford to try absolutely everything to keep the disease under control. My kids need me, and I need to see them grow up, so your help would be absolutely wonderful and my family will be forever grateful! THANK-YOU from the bottom of our hearts, much love Kath and Family xo.
Help spread the word!

Matter and Place, the current exhibition at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Nusantara known as Museum MACAN, features six large-scale artworks by local and international artists. It brings together Elevation, a piece of architecture by the prominent Indonesian architect Andra Matin, a site-specific installation by Malaysian artist Shooshie Sulaiman as well as several works from the museum's own collection. The exhibition explores the relationship between people and places, investigating how materials and sensory observation help define our understanding of identity.
The title Elevation has a double meaning; it signifies 'elevation' as a height difference and 'elevation' in the architectural sense as the horizontal projection of buildings. In 2018, architect Andra Matin was awarded one of the two special mentions by the jury of the 16th Venice Architecture Biennale at the exhibition FREESPACE, also marking the first time an Indonesian architect has been awarded at the Biennale.
Indonesia has the fourth largest population in the world. With over 265 million people inhabiting the country, over 55 per cent of the population live in urban areas. As the most expansive archipelago in the world spread on about 17,500 islands, the geography of Indonesia varies from coastal areas to highlands reaching 4,800 metres above sea level. From Sabang to Merauke, the westernmost to the easternmost area, various cultures and ethnic groups respond to the geography with their vernacular architecture. Elevation serves as a platform for exploring the variety of elevation in Indonesian local architecture. It also reflects on how the people of each ethnic group interact with nature and culture. Made from jabon (Neolamarckia cadamba), a type of wood commonly used in the timber industry, the installation consists of stages in various heights, corresponding to Indonesia's traditional dwellings. The facades of the piece are composed of rattan weaving, forming Indonesian textile patterns. This rattan weaving was made with a holographic technique and inspired by the traditional weaving technique of the Dayak tribe from Kalimantan.
Visitors can enter the structure, wander around and discover constructions from different Indonesian regions. A staircase leads to the top of the installation, revealing miniature models of nine typical dwellings: Korowai tree house from Kaibar in Papua, Rumah Panjang or Longhouse from Kalimantan, Tongkonan from Toraja in Sulawesi, Omo Hada from Nias Island in Sumatra, Mbaru Niang from Wae Rebo in Flores, East Nusa Tenggara, Uma Mbatangu from Sumba in East Nusa Tenggara, Joglo House from Java, a traditional Balinese house and finally Honai from Papua. These houses imply diverse ethnicities, histories, cultures, religious beliefs and one shared design goal – surviving tropical climate.
As visitors enter the installation, they come across models of Honai houses. A sign stating "± 0.00" in front of the models indicates that Honai houses are built parallel to the ground. These mushroom-shaped structures serve as homes for the Dani Tribe in Papua. Unlike any other traditional dwellings in Indonesia, Honai houses are built with a narrow interior and minimum windows, as to protect the inhabitants from the cold wind, which often hits the Baliem Valley area.
The mockups of a traditional Balinese and Joglo houses are both placed in the second stage of the installation. Visitors need to climb a few steps to reach the terraces of both these houses. The sign "± 0.30–0.60", meaning 30–60 centimetres above the ground, indicates the range of elevation for both houses. On the next level, one can find the models of Mbaru Niang and Uma Mbatangu. These houses, which originated in East Nusa Tenggara, are built with an elevation ranging between 80–120 centimetres above the ground. The space between the ground and the elevated floor is commonly used for keeping livestock.
The traditional house from Nias Island, Omo Hada, is marked at "± 1.40–1.80". Between the ground and the top floor, the house is supported by massive columns made of nibung wood (Oncosperma tigillarium), an evergreen palm tree. Although Omo Hada is a traditional house, it has one advantage: it is earthquake-resistant. Since the columns are not embedded into the ground and the structures are put together with pegs, they are flexible and can resist an earthquake. In the olden days, after the house was fully built, the tribe would order the architect to stand on top of the roof and slide down it. If he survived the fall, he was allowed to live. This ritual was intended to prevent the architect from revealing the house's secrets to strangers.
The models for both Rumah Panjang and Tongkonan carry a "± 2.00–2.60" sign. The word 'Tongkonan' derives from 'Tongkon', which means 'to sit'. This house was originally built for Torajan noblemen to sit and do social gatherings. Tongkonan, which is widely known for its boat-shaped and saddleback roof, consists of many parts: north (Tangalok), south (Sumbung) and middle (Sali). The gap between the ground and the floor is supported by uru wood columns and it is used for livestock.
The final stage of Matin's installation displays a model of a Korowai tree house from Papua. These tree houses typically stand ten metres above the ground. The Korowai people believe that the higher their houses, the less mosquitos reach their homes. They used to also believe in a myth called 'Laleo', an evil spirit wandering at ground level during night time. For the Korowai, Laleo doesn't only mean an evil spirit, but can also be used to address every living thing, including the Papuans themselves.
Incorporating modern and technologically-advanced materials together with components of traditional houses, this installation offers a different perspective and spatial experience to visitors. Through this interactive architectural piece, Andra Matin wants to convey that understanding the unique diversity and history of architecture in Indonesia is fundamental to developing contemporary ways of living alongside nature and our surroundings. The exhibition runs until 21 July 2019.

And we all know what April 15th means - tax time. Wonder how many smiles are on the faces of those reading this - definitely not mine. Have you done your taxes yet? Have you even gathered up the needed information to get them started?
Steve Strauss' newest article: 5 Tips for Tax Season will not get your taxes done for you but after reading the article, perhaps you will take his 5 tips and put them into practice. Probably no one will admit to enjoying tax preparation but if we take his key word: prepare into consideration, then tax prep will be smoother for us.
So maybe this year our mantra of prepare will not be as valuable as we would like. But by putting the tips into action, next April 15th should be much smoother.
Remember: PREPARE.
And thanks once again, Steve, for this timely article.

Community Projects
Canadian Postcard Project
2012 - Present
The Canadian Postcard Project is a nationwide community initiative that I have facilitated for the past 6 years. The project connects young individuals (ages 12-20) with emerging and established artists from across the country. The project begins with each student choosing an artwork they are drawn to, and after spending time as an "art critic" and brainstorming as a "real artist", the student then creates a postcard to reflect their chosen piece. Once the student's artwork has been made and mailed, the Canadian artist sends a new artwork back, in the form of a postcard.
Summer 2019
#GuelphMovesMe was a way to bring art into the public realm and out of a white-walled gallery. I wanted to promote movement and physical fitness, so I installed drawings on Guelph's trails through an outdoor art exhibition.
In the Paint
June 2018
In the Paint: this is ability serves as the pilot project for my series of painted basketball courts. I worked alongside Lindsay Clements and a group of teenagers with special needs to co-create, co-design, and co-produce a large-scale artwork that was painted directly onto the surface of a sports pad. While facilitating the project with these Special Olympic Provincial Gold Medalists, we broke down stereotypes and stigma surrounding ability and were able to memorialize the history and current attitudes of our community.
Fresh Mesh
Spring 2014
Fresh Mesh originally started when I realized that the basketball rims at my new school were empty and unused. I quickly taught myself how to hand-craft a net using yarn (with the help of New Craft Artists in Action), and started a weekly club open to all grades called Mesh Mondays. With both male and female students participating, we produced over 30 nets that were then installed at our school and on abandoned rims in our local community.
Merci de faire partie de ma communauté
January - April 2010
While studying in Caen, France for a semester, I found that placing myself in my community was challenging. Not knowing much French, I was immediately thankful for individuals that went out of their way to help and welcome me. From my experiences, I created a series that thanked the people I met through signage, friendship t-shirts, stamps, and handwritten notes.
Slam Dunk Project
February 2009 - April 2010
The Slam Dunk Project follows my journey as I trained to slam dunk a basketball on a 10' rim. Within the first couple months of training, I began to feel discouraged when individuals would criticize my goal because of my gender and race. Exploring these themes, I toured to many Elementary and Secondary schools to share my experiences and discuss current issues within sports and athletics, which lead to collecting over 500 handmade signs of support from students of all ages.
Community Net
June 2009
I originally created the Community Net as a way to train for the Slam Dunk Project without having to leave my studio space. I measured, cut, and hand painted the net before installing the work inside the hallway of the Annie Smith Building at Sheridan College.

Assessing effects of climatic change, region and agronomic practices on leaf spotting of bread and durum wheat in the western Canadian Prairies, from 2001 to 2012
Fernandez, M.R., Stevenson, C.F., Hodge, K., Dokken-Bouchard, F., Pearse, P.G., Waelchli, F., Brown, A., Peluola, C. (2016). Assessing effects of climatic change, region and agronomic practices on leaf spotting of bread and durum wheat in the western Canadian Prairies, from 2001 to 2012, 108(3), 1180-1195. http://dx.doi.org/10.2134/agronj2015.0451
© Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada as represented by the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. The leaf spotting (LS) complex is a widespread wheat (Triticum spp.) disease across the Canadian Prairies. A 12-yr survey (2001– 2012) was conducted in commercial fields across Saskatchewan, Canada to quantify LS and pathogen prevalence by wheat species, soil zone, latitude, longitude, previous crop/tillage, and climate. Leaf spotting severity was greater in durum than bread wheat. Pyrenophora tritici-repentis had the greatest percentage occurrence and frequency of isolation. Percentage isolation of this pathogen and Cochliobolus sativus was greater in durum than bread wheat, while the reverse was true for Phaeosphaeria nodorum. Responses of wheat species to previous crop/tillage were not consistent. Bread wheat in the Brown soil zone had lower LS, and C. sativus levels, than in the other two soil zones, no other pathogen was significantly affected by soil zone. For bread wheat, going northward and eastward increased LS severity, going eastward decreased P. tritici-repentis levels, going northward and eastward increased P. nodorum, while going south, and to a lesser extent east, increased C. sativus. Wet and warm conditions, particularly in the last years of this survey, and the presence of P. nodorum and C. sativus, were responsible for greater LS severity. Overall, P. tritici-repentis was associated with warmer and drier conditions, and could not explain LS severity. Greater precipitation and temperature, especially in the last 3 yr (2010–2012), coincided with greater LS and C. sativus levels. Therefore, under higher precipitation and temperatures, C. sativus can become an important leaf pathogen in the western Prairies, especially in durum wheat.

Job Description of Corporate Lawyer
The job responsibilities and duties of a paralegal have grown through the years as the legal community has started to grasp the benefits of having paralegals employed for them. Depending on the field of law that is being focused on a paralegal job description might consist of helping trial attorneys.
The duties and job responsibilities of a paralegal have grown over the years as the legal community has begun to realize the benefits of having paralegals work for them. Depending on the area of law that is being focused on a paralegal job description can include assisting trial attorneys, drafting all different types of contracts including mortgages, marriage separation papers, and wills and trusts.
A profession that can make and break the society is the profession of law. Logically equipped and ready to fight for humanity on the whole and then for individuals. This profession is demanding as law involves the entire nation and humans in totality. If you are passionate about this profession then you must know that there are hoards of opportunities available in the market.
National Clandestine Service Officers are the members of the CIA everyone thinks of when the initials CIA are mentioned. These CIA agents must participate in a rigorous training program after graduation from college. The CIA's Clandestine Service Officers come from all fields of practice and their diversity allows the agency to mesh them together to create a cohesive and diverse force of officers.
This is one of the most thriving job opportunities which offer a great pay as well as many other benefits. These jobs also offer great retirement plans. The paralegal is not actually a lawyer but are the assistants to the lawyers. They can be the assistant to one or even more lawyers.
Paralegal jobs in company world are the most popular ones because they have large scope of expansion. The corporate firms also offer good salary to paralegal pros. There are gigantic opportunities for paralegal pros in corporate world that bring them good salary and also make them able of taking up the most splendid back stiffness treatments.
If you gain a lot of experience as a lawyer you can even try for the post of a judge which is much more respectable. There are usually two broad categories to which the lawyer's jobs belong. A lawyer can either be criminal lawyer or corporate lawyer. The corporate lawyers usually have a specialization in the corporation laws.
The role of general counsel changes depending on the company that they serve and so the qualification requirement will also differ. The major function of this post is to represent a department in cases where it is involved. The general counsels will advice on the legal environment and legal responsibilities.
The work it takes to prepare for court and meetings does not outweigh the other tasks that paralegals are expected to perform. For example, the assist with drafting contracts, mortgages, and separation agreements. They help to prepare tax returns, keep office financial records and coordinate the functions of other office employees. Of course, specific job duties vary by employer.
Unless your son or daughter has a degree (or destiny) that leads them directly into a specific role - such as doctor, accountant, lawyer, etc - helping them determine what that first position should be can be far more daunting than helping them determine which college to attend.
As I listen to the pundits talk about the rising unemployment rate, I figure some of us might need to "reinvent" ourselves in this new green economy. As I've said many times, we're in a transition phase and many sectors of the economy may not be as robust and able to support as many workers as they might have in the past.
Computer forensics jobs for felons are expected to increase in number in the near future because of the current upward trend of computer crimes. Many types of crimes like child pornography, financial fraud, consumer fraud, corporate espionage and international crime issues are in on the rise.
