Lori Wilde can't remember a time when she didn't want to write. She even went to nursing school so she could have a schedule flexible enough to allow her to write on the side. She nursed for 20 years, working in a variety of settings from the newborn nursery to the recovery room, to dialysis. But she never lost her desire to write.
She sold her first book in 1994 to Silhouette Romance but later discovered she had a flair for comedy and branched out to Harlequin Duets and now, to Blaze.
Lori is an adventuresome soul who loves to travel. She's taken flying lessons, completed two marathons, rode in a hot-air balloon, performed with a professional jazz band, traveled Europe as a teenager, hiked volcanoes in Hawaii, trod on glaciers in Alaska, shot white-water rapids, water-skied, snow-skied, raced all-terrain vehicles, bodysurfed in the Gulf of Mexico, and photographed grizzly bears in Yellowstone.
She lives in her native Texas, with her own real-life hero, Bill, her red heeler/Australian shepherd dog, Cinnamon, and four ducks, Quacker, Big Guy, Affleck, and Sheepidy.

I don't know anymore...
Posted by Chocolicious on May 24, 2012
I don't know how to feel about this product anymore. The bottle is different (but that is not what bothers me), is transparent and has little holes on the top, which are useless because they expel more product than the one you really need, even if you are very careful, more product will come out of them than the 1/64 part of a teaspoon you need, and even if they are closed, if you store the bottle in horizontal position, product filters through the little gaps of the lid, it may look that is not a lot but considering that 1 serving is 1/64 of a teaspoon, we are talking about maybe 3 or 4 servings gone. Another thing it annoyed me is the fact that it contains 'other ingredients: natural flavours' and it says it's pure, so it's NOT pure! And they don't even specify what kind of natural flavours are. That is why I am giving this product 3 stars. I wanted pure stevia extract, and I got stevia extract with unspecified natural flavourings instead, and the bottle is cheap and botchy (I think they should add aswell a measuring 1/64 minispoon).
Little disappointed
Posted by Reviewer1357083 on Mar 04, 2009
The product is fine but they should have included a 1/64 tsp spoon
not the same
Posted by Reviewer1995761 on Feb 26, 2014
NuNaturals has changed the supplier of this product and it has changed. It is 'fluffier'... The container is filled more, but the product is less intense, so you need to use what seems like more (by volume) to get the same weight and same sweetness. It'll take some testing to find the right amount to use now.
Ok, but hard to dispense
Posted by Reviewer1071485 on Apr 17, 2008
see title
very sweet!
Posted by Reviewer3179443 on Feb 29, 2012
This product is so sweet and will last a while. Great for many things.
Posted by 5158213319871739331 on Oct 03, 2013
I was really hoping for better tasting Stevia since I had heard so much good about it. It was just ok, not great...

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Tuesday, Oct. 30, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The Richmond County Health Department director has announced everyone at Butler High School will be tested for tuberculosis.
The scare started earlier this month when one student came down with symptoms of TB. Since then, groups of children who have had contact with the student have been getting tested.
Executive Director for the Richmond County Health Department Ketty Gonzalez explained why they are now offering it to everyone.
"Some of the people that were outside of the highest risk were tested and a couple came back positive," Gonzalez said.
Some test results have come in so far with some positive test results, but that just means they were exposed -- not that they have TB. They will have to go through another round of testing.
One mother, Charlene Pressley, says the students need to be taught what TB is because, apparently, some of the students are comparing it to HIV. She has a 10th grade son and says kids need to be educated on what it is.
"People are going to be having the sniffles and the cough and the runny nose, but that doesn't mean that that's TB. Usually, TB creates a lot of symptoms with fever, sweats, weight loss," Gonzalez said.
School administrators have planned a school-wide information session for all students to learn more about TB on Wednesday.
This all comes after a female student showed signs of the disease. Now health officials say her illness is more concerning because right now all testing shows signs of a confirmed case.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- News 12 has learned about a pet food recall that could affect you.
Natura Pet Products is voluntarily recalling certain types of dry pet food because it could become contaminated with salmonella.
The Michigan Department of Agriculture found a single retail location that tested positive for the presence of salmonella, which prompted the recall. The products were made in December 2012 within a two-week window.
The company says no salmonella-related illnesses have been reported at this time.
The following brand are affected: Innova (PDF), EVO (PDF), California Natural (PDF), Healthwise (PDF).
The food is sold worldwide and online. The products were distributed between Dec. 18, 2012, and March 15, 2013. Product expiration dates range between Dec. 17, 2013, and Jan. 2, 2014.
If you have any of these products, you should throw them away.
For more information or a product replacement/refund, call Natura toll-free at 800-224-6123 (Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. CST).

At a time of heightened tension around the world and ongoing challenges to our national security, it is important to reinforce the need for increased industrial cooperation between the United States and its allies.
Despite calls for trade barriers and more protectionism in the arms industry, the overwhelming reality is that defense is more globalized than ever.
Not only do U.S. firms depend on foreign exports for their financial health, but the Pentagon also benefits in many cases from non-U.S. developed technology. Furthermore, many foreign firms seeking to do more business with the Pentagon are setting up U.S.-based subsidiaries, creating jobs and fueling economic growth in the United States.
Selling to foreign customers keeps U.S. firms competitive. According the most updated data available from the Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. defense exports increased from $7 billion in 2001 to $7.4 billion in 2002.
Although most of U.S. defense sales are to the Pentagon, our nation's defense spending--about to reach nearly $500 billion--will inevitably come down. When U.S. sales decline, the defense industry will seek to increase exports to maintain its production lines warm.
Potential foreign customers, however, are finding that it's not getting any easier to do business with American suppliers. Obstacles currently standing in the way include complex export licensing procedures and restrictions in the ability to share information, even with close allies such as the United Kingdom. During a recent international cooperation conference in London hosted by NDIA, several government and industry leaders expressed frustration with what they see as trade-unfriendly policies in the United States.
To be sure, those who oppose defense industry cooperation and trade partnerships argue that the United States cannot afford to let sensitive technologies proliferate around the world and potentially fall into the wrong hands.
Concerns about proliferation of technology are legitimate and must be taken into account in international industrial arrangements. That has become the motivating force behind recent initiatives to find ways to protect information and guarantee the security of data.
A case in point is the "Transatlantic Secure Collaboration Program," sponsored jointly by the U.S. Defense Department and the U.K. Ministry of Defense.
The TSCP was created in an effort to tackle the technical complexity, cost and risks in delivering defense programs, and the overarching requirements for interoperability. The goal is for governments and industry to adopt a collaborative business model.
The business environment we now see in the defense industry is characterized by multi-company, multi-national contracts and teaming arrangements, international program management offices with global supply chains and outsourcing of information technology support services. Examples of these programs are the Joint Strike Fighter and the Littoral Combat Ship, among others. Sweden's premier jet fighter, the Gripen, has more than 50 percent American content.
The TSCP intends to provide a secure environment for partners to collaborate. Participants include major U.S. and European firms such as Airbus, EADS, BAE Systems, Boeing, CAE, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, Rolls Royce, Smiths and Westland.
A major consideration in the debate over the need to strengthen transatlantic trade is the impact that defense sales have on the U.S. economy. The bottom line is that if we elect to not participate in a global defense industry, we'll lose jobs. If we don't provide products to allied nation customers, others will. Proliferation has to be managed, but not by refusing to be part of the market.
Globalization pays off for the U.S. military as well. Some of our key allies invest sizeable sums of money in niche technologies from which our military forces can benefit. Even though no other country spends as much on defense as the United States, some nations have comparative advantages and specialized capabilities. A case in point was the decision by the U.S. Army to adopt a Swedish munition design for the Excalibur 155 mm precision-guided artillery projectile. Doing so saves the U.S. Army hundreds of millions of dollars in development costs, which effectively would have made the program unaffordable. Spreading the enormous R&D costs associated with weapons systems is important to keep prices from getting out of control.
In terms of what international trade means for U.S. firms, the numbers tell the story. The United States enjoys a trade balance in defense exports of 6-1 in its favor with respect to Europe, and around 12-1 with respect to the world. Policies that restrict the ability of U.S. companies to continue making such sales will reduce interoperability with our allies, reduce U.S. jobs and undercut the supplier base.
Military and aerospace exports sustain, directly and indirectly, about 12 million American jobs that pay 12-18 percent more than the average U.S. wage.
We must continue to strengthen our industrial ties with allies, both for economic and national security reasons. Failure to do so gradually could isolate our defense business from what is becoming, like many sectors of the economy, a globalized and highly competitive industry.

Five Denver debate coaches responded to the first presidential debate as if they were judging competing teams at a forensics tournament.
Maryrose Kohan, debate coach, George Washington High:
I thought it was all about talking points. There were a lot of missed opportunities to point out each other's contradictions. Both of them stuck to "Let me talk about this because I want to."
This debate really lacked structure; they were allowed to free-form. Romney was told to ask Obama questions, but he just started talking, and nobody, not even Jim Lehrer, said, "Where are your questions?"
Lyn Davies, debate coach, Denver School of the Arts:

Neither debater ever specifically cited the studies to which they were referring. As a judge, it was hard to tell what the exact policies are on either side. Neither was giving hard numbers. We train our policy debaters to go after the specifics and feasibility of a plan. Neither debater really did this.
Terry Rubin, debate coach, Kent Denver School:
I would say that this round goes to Romney. He started on fire, having points and counterpoints to Obama's talking points. The second half was more in Obama's favor.
Romney wanting to fire Big Bird stole the show. Can you really win a debate saying you will fire Big Bird? That was a bold move. Amazing Obama did not jump on that more!
Matthew Murphy, debate coach, East High School:
Romney hit Obama on Obamacare with confidence, harkening his failures to bring the country and Congress together with a bipartisan approach. This was the best that Romney was in the debate.
Romney and Obama talked a lot about numbers — lots of statistics and dollar numbers but not a lot of clarity.
Will Van Treuren, debate coach, University of Colorado and East High:
This debate was an impressive showing for both candidates. I was expecting a much more mechanical performance from Romney and a much more professorial performance from Obama.
Both were engaging and assertive (to different degrees). I think Romney had a much more aggressive and effective style than Obama, but Obama's closing statement probably resonated with a lot more voters because it was humble and optimistic.

Indus River Delta-Arabian Sea mangroves
Indus River Delta. Source: U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration
The Indus River Delta-Arabian Sea mangroves ecoregion represents a mangrove habitat that is adapted to some of the most extreme temperatures and salinity conditions in the Indo-Pacific region. As a transition from the marine to freshwater and terrestrial systems, mangroves provide critical habitat for numerous species of fishes and crustaceans that are adapted to live among the tangled mass of pneumatophores, the roots that reach up from the muddy, anaerobic substrate to obrain the supply of oxygen for the mangrove trees.
Location and General Description
Indus River Delta-Arabian Sea mangroves ecoregion. WWF
This ecoregion lies at the delta of the Indus River, which originates in the Tibetan Plateau and flows through the northwestern part of India and into the arid Thar Desert in Pakistan before finally emptying into the Arabian Sea. There are high salinity levels in the sloughs because of the high evaporation rates and the salts that are washed down by the river, which flows through a highly saline area. Climatic conditions are extreme. Ambient temperatures range from near-freezing temperatures in the winter to higher than 50 degrees Celsius during the summer. All rainfall is associated with the July to September southwest monsoon, which brings a mere 100 to 500 millimeters (mm) of precipitation.
Satellite view of the Indus River delta and surrounding coastline in Pakistan and India. (Photograh by National Geographic Society) Mangroves in general are not biologically diverse compared with most other terrestrial ecosystems, and undisturbed mangrove forests have a dense canopy with little stratification and an undergrowth made up of seedlings and saplings from the canopy trees. The Indus River mangroves are even less diverse, being composed of nearly monospecific stands of Grey Avicennia (Avicennia marina), a mangrove tree species very resistant to high salinity levels, and capable of surviving the region's extreme meteorological conditions. Other species that are sometimes associated with the Avicennia include Rhizophora apiculata and Holy Mangrove tree (Acanthus ilicifolius), with occasional smaller patches of the Asiatic Mangrove tree (Rhizophora mucronata) and the Yellow Mangrove tree (Ceriops tagal) in scattered occurrences. The former mangrove species usually occurs in proximity to streambeds.
Biodiversity Features
Indian Rice Frog. Source: Stepanka Nemcova /EoL This mangrove ecoregion provides important habitat for fish and invertebrates and serves as critically important spawning grounds and nurseries for fishes and aquatic crustaceans. Vertebrate species richness is modest, with a total of only 203 vertebrate taxa having been recorded in this ecoregion. There are 123 bird species known from this ecoregion, although none are considered endemic. Numerous mammals are found in the ecoregion, with an especially large number of bat taxa.
Only a single amphibian taxa is found in the Indus River Delta-Arabian Sea mangroves ecoregion: the anuran Indian Rice Frog (Fejervarya limnocharis), generally found in rice fields, ditches, marshes and floodplains.
There are only two species of reptile found in the ecoregion: Brahminy Blind Snake (Ramphotyphlops braminus); and the Critically Endangered Hawksbill Sea Turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata).
A number of mammalian species are foun in the Indus River Delta-Arabian Sea mangroves, including: the Bonnet Monkey (Macaca radiata); Brandt's Hedgehog (Paraechinus hypomelas), a nocturnal animal found on clay and loess soils; Caracal (Caracal caracal); Egyptian Tomb Bat (Taphozous perforatus), found along rivers in rock shelters or tombs; Indian Crested Porcupine (Hystrix indica); Indian Muntjac (Muntiacus muntjak); the Vulnerable Rusty-spotted Cat (Prionailurus rubiginosus); and the Vulnerable Indian Smooth-coated Otter (Lutrogale perspicillata), who prefers rocky river stretches for cover.
Current Status
Although this ecoregion has been heavily degraded, and more than 85 percent of the habitat has been destroyed, several patches of intact habitat are extant. There are three protected areas that cover about 820 square kilometres (km2), or sixteen percent of the ecoregion (table 1), but even these protected areas are degraded.

Types and Severity of Threats
Yellow Mangrove propagules. Source: Griet Neukermans EoL
Threats to this mangrove ecoregion stem from several sources. Mangroves are exploited for fuelwood by local peoples, this being the major source of firewood for the more than 10,000 people who inhabit the area, and for fodder to feed their domestic livestock, including camels.
Other threats stem from industrial water pollution originating from the city of Karachi, Pakistan; oil spills and discharges from ships that anchor in the city's harbour; and increased salinity levels caused by flow diversions in the Indus River. Seasonal fishermen live in the mangrove forests and cut and clear the forests in order to set up their camps.

Minneapolis, MN (Sports Network) - The Minnesota Timberwolves waived
forward/guard Josh Howard on Thursday after an MRI revealed a torn anterior
cruciate ligament in his right knee.
Howard will be sidelined for the remainder of the 2012-13 season after
suffering the injury in the second quarter of a Dec. 14 game against the New
Orleans Hornets.
"It's unfortunate to see Josh's season come to an abrupt end due to injury,"
said David Kahn, Timberwolves president of basketball operations. "Due to
several injuries, we have an immediate need at the wing position,
necessitating today's transaction. Josh was a consummate professional and
important contributor to our team in his short time with us and we wish him
the best with his recovery."
Signed by Minnesota as a free agent on Nov. 16, Howard averaged 6.7 points
and 3.3 rebounds in 11 games this season.

CBS has ordered "60 Minutes" correspondent Lara Logan and her producer to take a leave of absence following a critical internal review of their handling of the show's October story on the Benghazi raid.
The show relied on an interview with a security contractor who said he was at the U.S. mission in Libya the night it was attacked last year, but questions were raised about whether the source was lying. A CBS internal report obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday found the network did a poor job vetting the story.
CBS Chairman Jeff Fager, who is also the "60 Minutes" executive producer, said he asked Logan and her producer, Max McClellan, to take a leave of absence. The length of time wasn't determined.

It was deadliest fire in Maine since 1992. Some cardboxes stacked too close to a wood stove in the basement of a house in Orrington caused a fire that killed a father and his three young children. Only the mother survived. Fire investigators found that while the family did have smoke detectors in the house, they were not activated. It may come as a surprise to some listeners to learn that this setup is perfectly in accordance with the state's fire safey code. Maine State Fire Marshal Joe Thomas speaks about the legal requirements regarding smoke dectectors in single family homes in Maine with Maine Things Considered host Tom Porter.
Maine State Fire Marshal Joe Thomas. He says that anyone with questions about the effectiveness of their smoke detectors should not hesitate to contact their local fire department.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Two Metro riders reached out to me about SmarTrip cards that no longer work.
Kathy Gambrell lives in Rockville. She said, "I noticed it had been a year since I had sent my SmarTrip card back to Metro and I never saw it again." Kathy says when her card did not work, she spoke to the Station Manager, received an envelope, put her defective card in it, and mailed it. That was in May of last year. It had $50 on it. "I resigned myself that I was never going to see my $50 again," she said.
A week ago, Kathy renewed her fight.
She took to Twitter, and emailed me. I emailed Metro, Metro tweeted Kathy, Kathy tweeted Metro and, after a phone call today, Kathy says, "They did resolve it, and I'm getting my $50 back I'm really happy!."
Kathy says the customer service supervisor loaded $50 onto her new SmarTrip card she has been using since sending the old one in.
Our second trip was to see Ken McMillon in Fairfax, who had two cards that did not work. He said, "At least one of mine I know had...approximately $60 on it. And the other may be more than that."
Ken works nights, and he's not on Twitter, so he called Metro's Customer Service. They told him about two places he could take the cards to. Because of Ken's schedule, one of the locations wouldn't work for him, but the other did. He said, "I tried to go to Metro Center twice, stood in line, by the time I was getting close to the line, it was about 10 o'clock, I said that's it."
Ken emailed me, and I emailed Metro about his situation.
In the meantime, Ken called Metro Customer Service. He says since it's been a while since he used the cards, the Customer Service representative didn't have his balances readily available. Ken explains, "She said well, I have to go to some agency or something like that and look through their records, It takes about 2 days and she'll give me a call back." But even if they do find his balances, there's still a catch.
Ken says, "They want me to buy another card."
That will cost Ken $5.00, minus a $3.00 rebate back. But, Ken says that's not the point.
"You kidding me? That's absurd, I already paid it. I work retail, we will go out of our way to please a customer, they don't have to be always right, but we will satisfy that customer so they're happy when they leave. Come on, Metro you can't do the same for me?," he said.
So, we have one happy customer, one not-so-much, and a couple of extra days waiting time to find out how Ken's saga ends.

This kiln is excellent for metal enameling, glaze testing, firing small pottery pieces, or glass forming and decoration. Its small size and its durability make it ideal for school or studio use. Strong steel construction is backed with special block-type insulation to seal in the heat and prevent excessive heat radiation.
The firing chamber measures 4"W × 6-5/8"D × 4-1/2"H (10 cm × 17 cm × 11 cm). The firing chamber is 120 cubic inches and 6½" (16 cm) deep.The chamber's depth is greater than its width to permit the placement of pieces well away from the kiln doors for even heating. This kiln can reach 2000°F (1093°C). External dimensions are 9-1/4"W × 13-1/2"D × 13-1/2"H (23 cm × 35 cm × 35 cm). Requries 110-120V. It weighs
The front and back frames are made from 14-gauge steel, coupled with 18-gauge shells of cold roll sheet metal. A lift-up door makes the kiln easy to load, and a peephole aids viewing of pieces during firing.
The Amaco MK-4 includes a two-year warranty.
Pyrometer Kit — This kit includes a pyrometer, a thermocouple, and 2 ft of insulated thermocouple wire. These components are used to identify the kiln firing chamber temperature. The pyrometer has a dial with markings every 50° between 0° and 2500°F, and 0° and 1290°C. The thermocouple wire connects the pyrometer to the thermocouple, and has a 6" probe that fits into the kiln's peephole to detect the kiln temperature.
Electrical Warning — All electrical products have U.S. standard plugs and voltage. Due to damage that can occur when using incompatible plugs, sockets, or converters, Blick does not ship electrical items or accessories outside of North America or to freight forwarders.

The Senate's defeat last week of new firearms restrictions brought attention to the nation's shifting demographics and a pronounced divide on the gun issue between Americans in rural areas and in suburban enclaves. Packed with married women and political independents, the suburbs are acting more like urban centers that long have been concerned with street crime and have favored tougher gun laws.
The suburbs were a common denominator for a handful of Republican lawmakers who broke ranks with the GOP last week to support expanded background checks.
Four Republicans backed the proposal, including three from states where suburbs play a strong role in political issues.

Grand Theft Auto IV introduced the ability to watch television shows in most safehouses, although this feature is largely useless in actual gameplay and, like radio stations, is more of a minor feature used to pass time and to round out the fictional world of GTA.
Each television allows the player to watch up to 2-flagship free-to-air terrestrial television networks such: (Weazel & CNT); however, the channels are not numbered, so finding a show is more or less coincidental. Most of the shows are running time-shifted, so while "I'm Rich" may be almost over on one channel, for example, it may just start on another.
The feature is carried over to its episodic titles, including The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, with new shows and advertising added in. However, depending on whether the player opted for downloading episodic DLC or obtaining Episodes from Liberty City, the availability of shows and ads from GTA IV in both episodic titles, like radio stations, varies between DLCs and Episodes from Liberty City:
- In DLCs, existing programming and advertising from GTA IV and a DLC purchased earlier will be present in the new episodic title, and vice versa.
- In EFLC, only programming and advertising from TLAD and TBOGT will be available in both episodic titles, as much of GTA IV's content is not included in the stand-alone compilation.
While there is one television for each safehouse in GTA IV, the player can only watch TV at the Lost MC Clubhouse in The Lost and Damned until "Get Lost", to which point the player has no legal means of watching television; in The Ballad of Gay Tony, one TV is available in Luis' safehouse.
GTA IV alludes that two other television networks, CCC and X, exist in the in-game universe, but are unviewable.
Viewable programs
In 2-flagship free-to-air terrestrial television stations in Liberty City such:
Weazel is a parody of Fox Broadcasting Company was English flagship free-to-air terrestrial television channel on VHF in normally tuned to 5 in analog.
- The Men's Room (With Bas Rutten and Jeremy St. Ives)
- Split Sides (both Ricky Gervais and Katt Williams).
- Republican Space Rangers (Episode 6 is added in TLAD).
- Venturas Poker Challenge.
- Weazel News Parody of fox news (Special report on the Motorcycle Menace) (TLAD).
CNT is a parody of CNN or TNT, possibly a combination of both as China Entertainment Television is a China Entertainment Television was English flagship free-to-air terrestrial television channel on VHF in normally tuned to 8 in analog.
- I'm Rich.
- The Serrated Edge.
- Princess Robot Bubblegum (TBOGT).
- A History of Liberty City. The program comes in two parts: Part I in GTA IV, and Part II in TLAD and TBOGT.
List of television stations in Liberty City
In Liberty City, there are 2-flagship free-to-air terrestrial television networks such: Weazel & CNT.
In recent years, both flagship free-to-air terrestrial television stations were allocated new frequency bands and extra bandwidth in addition under analog broadcast to the simulcast frequency band (multi-frequency) used for the original 2-analog free-to-air terrestrial television channels.
|Channel № (Analog)
|Video Frequency (MHz)
|Audio Frequency (MHz)
|Channel Name
|Channel Content
|Launch Date
|1 May 1950
|1 May 1951
- Most of the TV shows appear to be made when the game was in it's beta stages.
- There is a glitch in The Lost and Damned that allows you to watch the TV even after the end of the game. Take a helicopter and land on the roof of Lost MC Clubhouse. Walk around to where the TV would be inside just under the roof, and you will be prompted to watch the TV. If you do this there is only 2 ways to get outside of the clubhouse: kill yourself, or reload an old save file. This glitch is fixed on Episodes from Liberty City.
- Another way to watch TV in both the episodes and the main game if you haven't unlocked the Bohan safehouse. First you must travel over to Niko's Bohan safehouse. The front door will be locked and can't be opened but you can walk to the back entrance to enter the building into the safehouse and watch TV at any time.

Inside Cheap Monday's London store
11 Oct. 2012
Leading trend and style forecaster WGSN recently announced its Global Fashion Awards nominations with Swedish label Cheap Monday's London shop up for "Best New Store/Refit." The competition aims to honor fashion's most inspirational and innovative individuals and businesses and will announce winners at its award ceremony on November 5. The Best New Store category recognizes the best new standalone store that has an "environment that pushes boundaries in terms of design and customer interaction, but which also stays true to and reinforces the essence of the brand."
Cheap Monday's Soho store, which was designed together with architecture agency Uglycute, opened on Carnaby Street in February 2012 and is the brand's first standalone UK store. It takes up 330 sqm across two floors and carries the label's entire range displayed along raw, basic materials such as plywood and chain metal fencing.
Håkan Ström, COO of Cheap Monday, said: "Our Cheap Monday Store in London has existed for just over half a year and has received a lot of attention during this short time. The WGSN Global Fashion Awards nomination is a recognition from the industry, which we are proud and thrilled about. It is an additional acknowledgement that our store concept works well, and encourages us in future store openings."
Next to Cheap Monday in London, Alter in Shanghai, C. Wonder in New York, Puma in Amsterdam and Burberry in London are on the shortlist for WGSN's Best New Store/Refit category.

If you improve your study habit, you would realize that you will be able to learn more in less time. A good study habit doesn't mean that you've got to go through every page and tackle every topic, with a view to grasp everything. Improving your study habit depends on how much effort you put into it not only because you're forced to, but likewise because you really want to.
To make the best use of your study time, do not study with earphones, music or television on. Learning to study in the quiet is an art of its own. Some authors go to a cabin or in place in the attic to be alone. Learn to cherish the quiet. Listen to it. That is how you'll hear the words that come to you.
Studying can become tedious to most students. Thinking about it, there appear to be better and more exciting things to do outside than staying in a room reviewing books. You can easily get tempted to play games on your pc instead of studying.
Crazy Things About Improving Study Habits
The key to improve your study habit is having the ability to set aside the temptation to do other things and set your mind into reading, understanding and learning. Here are some great tips that can assist you establish a good study habit more easily.
A good way to absorb ideas more effectively as you attempt to improve your study habit is by attempting to break them down into smaller portions. If you have to tackle a difficult topic for a particular subject for the day, dividing them into smaller chunks, and then spending a session just focusing on each one, can help you grasp difficult ideas more quickly. You may look at some study topics and be overwhelmed by what you've got to go over. Understanding them in small bits will allow you to take the whole idea a chunk at a time.
how can i improve my study habits?any ideas.
- I don't know what level education you're at right now or even if you are addressing this question about school. I'm assuming you are still in school and the following should help study habits for students: Motivate. If you don't have motivation for a specific subject, that's the first thing you have to work on. I don't have any real solutions to that. Just know that education = $$$ in the future i guess (not always true, but it's easier to motivate yourself thinking that way. Well higher education = more $$$ most of the time) Eliminate negative influences around the study area. Sometimes studying with a friend isn't the best way to go, sometimes it is. Just know that with another person, it's real easy to get sidetracked. Don't multitask, TV or music while studying does not work. 30 minutes of solitude seems boring, and it is, but really putting your mind to it without being distracted allows you to learn a lot. Work on concentration. I'm not qualified to talk on this one either, but i'm pretty sure that passive activities can help concentration, which you NEED for effective studying. I'm referring mainly to reading. Reading lots of content in one sitting should improve attention span, it's just that staying put the whole time and focused is the hard part. Meditation can also help concentration (at least it helps me). Basically, relax for a couple minutes a day and think of nothing at all. If you can get to thinking about nothing, you can probably concentrate pretty well. Other than that, I really don't know. I find that study habits are closely correlated with work ethic (no duh!). If you find yourself laboring at being good at anything in life, apply the same ethic you do to making yourself better at whatever you do to school, which goes back to the whole motivation idea. I've got a whole other page if you need tips on working efficiently.
- Leave study books around the house areas you are comonly in. It's a lot easier to study when you know you dont have to go out to your car, get your bookbag, take out your books, and go online to lookup the homework.
- ok here it goes(its nothing big, just givin an advice) write down all the questions on things that you didn't know2 days before a test or quiz or u can do the same thing, but at the end of the week you can ask the questons. and what you do is write the questions on one side of the paper and the answers on the other Make a goal: study at least for 10min of studying each day do that for a week and add another 5 min. on the day before the test study the stuff u havent studied and write down all the stuff that u don't know: write 2x and in the end write down all the stuff on one paper. Make sure to do hw first if u need anythin: email@example.com
