In early August, 2015, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted a rule that will allow unlicensed devices (such as bluetooth technologies, mobile phones and garage door openers) to operate on the same frequency as heart and fetal monitors used by hospitals. This will likely prevent the monitors from functioning properly.

FCC OKs Use of Unlicensed Devices on Patient Monitoring Frequency
iHealthBeat, August 7, 2015
On Thursday, the Federal Communications Commission adopted a rule that will allow unlicensed devices to operate on the same frequency as hospitals' remote patient monitoring systems, FierceHealthIT reports.
In 2000, FCC allocated the unoccupied television airwave Channel 37 exclusively for medical monitoring equipment after a 1998 incident in which a TV broadcaster interfered with a hospital's low-powered heart monitors. Prior to 2000, hospitals had used other channels to operate unlicensed wireless patient-monitoring devices (iHealthBeat, 5/14/08).
The channel is used by devices that measure patients' vital signs and other important health metrics.
Rule Details
According to FierceHealthIT, FCC approved the rules allowing unlicensed devices — such as Bluetooth technologies, garage door openers and wireless phones — to operate on Channel 37 with the expectation that so-called TV "white space" frequencies are likely to become more limited.
In the vote, FCC said that unlicensed devices will not interfere with hospital monitoring technologies that use Channel 37 (FierceHealthIT, 8/6).
However, to ease some stakeholders' security concerns, FCC added certain protections for providers that use the frequency.
Specifically, FCC said it will automatically extend protection zones around hospitals that file waiver requests. The expansion would be up to three times the normal 380-meter buffer zone (Allen et al., "Morning eHealth," Politico, 8/7).
FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai, who proposed the additional protections, said the extended buffer zones would remain in place throughout the agency's review of the waiver.
In a statement, AHA Executive Vice President Rick Pollack said the adopted rules could negatively affect patients.
He said, "These unlicensed devices may cause interference with wireless monitoring, preventing doctors and nurses from receiving vital information" (FierceHealthIT, 8/6). He added that AHA is concerned "that if the rules … are left unchanged, patient safety could be compromised" (AHA News, 8/6).
AHA also noted that FCC's compromise to grant buffer-zone extensions does not take into account that hospitals often lack the expertise to know when to submit a waiver ("Morning eHealth," Politico, 8/7).
Prior to the vote, Sens. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) also expressed concerns about the use of the channel for unlicensed devices. In a letter to FCC, the senators asked for a three-month delay, saying it is "imperative that the commission establish fully adequate technical rules for sharing, as those rules will impact the safety and use of critical medical monitoring technology for hospitals" (AHA News, 8/5).
FCC vote allows unlicensed devices to operate on same frequency as medical monitors
AHA raises interference concerns before, after hearing
Dan Bowman, Fierce Health IT August 6, 2015
Unlicensed devices will be allowed to operate on the same frequency as wireless medical telemetry service systems for cardiac and fetal monitoring, after the Federal Communications Commission voted to modernize rules to "accommodate growing demand for … innovation."
Despite protests from the American Hospital Association, three U.S. senators and 16 members of the House, the FCC insisted at its Aug. 6 hearing that unlicensed TV White Space devices–such as garage door openers, cordless phones and Bluetooth technologies–will not interfere with patient monitoring technology that operates on Channel 37.
"Wireless medical telemetry devices and radio astronomy services will continue to have interference protection on Channel 37," FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler said at the hearing. "Unlicensed users also gain access to Channel 37 in areas where these other two are not using it."
The new rules were adopted based on the mindset that following the upcoming incentive auction, white space frequencies in the television band likely will be more limited.
While voting in favor of the new rules, FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai said he shares concerns expressed by the AHA and members of Congress. He proposed that whenever a WMTS facility determines that designated protection zones are not adequate to prevent harmful interference, those zones should be automatically extended up to three times their current size, following a licensee's filing of a waiver request.
"Those extended zones will remain in place until the FCC can adjudicate the merits of the request," Pai said.
AHA Executive Vice President Rick Pollack expressed concern about the FCC's decision. In a statement issued after the vote, Pollack said the rules are not in the best interest of patients.
"These unlicensed devices may cause interference with wireless monitoring, preventing doctors and nurses from receiving vital information," he said. "There are more than 360,000 WMTS patient monitors in hospitals today, many of which are used for women and infants during labor and delivery and critical heart surgery patients. … The FCC did allow for an increased buffer, as advocated by Commissioner Pai; however, the commission ignored technical considerations in setting the distance and will require each hospital to demonstrate that larger protection zones are necessary."

Politico, Aug 7, 2015
The commission Thursday approved regulations that will allow unlicensed wireless devices to operate on the same frequencies as hospitals' remote monitoring systems. But in response to the outcry from the medical community, the commission added protections for providers using those systems. FCC will respond to waiver requests by automatically extending protection zones around hospitals by up to three times the normal 380-meter buffer. The additional protections were sought by GOP Commissioner Ajit Pai, who said medical uses of the spectrum must be protected since they can be the difference between "life and death." The American Hospital Association was not overly impressed by the compromise. Hospitals generally lack the technical expertise to know when to file for such waivers, the association noted.
The Wireless Medical Telemetry Service (WMTS) is in the 608 – 614, 1395 – 1400, and 1427 – 1432 MHz range. WMTS spectrum is used for remote monitoring of a patient's health. Wireless medical telemetry systems include devices to measure patients' vital signs and other important health parameters (e.g., pulse and respiration rates) and devices that transport the data via a radio link to a remote location, such as a nurses' station, equipped with a specialized radio receiver. For example, wireless cardiac monitors are often used to monitor patients following surgery.

Gwalior, Oct 26 (UNI) Vice-President Mohammad Hamid Ansari today highlighted the need for a revolutionary change in physical education and the country's sports scenario.
''In the history of the rise and decline of nations, the importance of physical education has been underrated,'' he said while addressing the Fifth Convocation Ceremony of the Lakshmibai National Institute of Physical Education (LNIPE) in this citadel town.
The Vice-President was conferred a honorary Doctorate of Literature by LNIPE Vice-Chancellor Major-General (Retd) S N Mukherji.
''Even Plato and Aristotle admitted that proper personality development was possible only through public education that stressed on exercise for the body and music for the soul. Only those ancient civilisations, which arranged for overall physical education at institutional level, survived and prospered,'' Mr Ansari added.
The Constitution's Seventh Schedule lists sports as a state subject that has been linked with theatre and cinema. It is ironical that sports could not be developed to the extent of -- and attain as much prosperity as -- theatre and cinema, he felt.
''It is also an irony of statistics that a population exceeding a billion could win just a single medal in the past three Olympics.
Excessive commercialisation of sports is a matter of concern.
Electoral politics leads to the political class chiefly focussing on sports that interest the public and market alike. The politics of cricket had caused losses to other sports,'' the Vice-President said.
Madhya Pradesh Governor Balram Jakhar also spoke on the occasion.
Mr Ansari later left for Delhi by a special plane of the Indian Air Force.

Why Davidson Kempner establishes new position in JPMorgan Chase
Davidson Kempner and JPMorgan Chase
Davidson Kempner added new positions in Omnicom Group Inc. (OMC), Alpha Natural Resources Inc. (ANR), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Brunswick Corporation (BC), and Vitamin Shoppe Inc. (VSI). It exited positions in Perrigo Co. Plc. (PRGO) and Apple Inc. (AAPL).

Receive e-mail alerts for new research on JPM
Davidson Kempner initiated a new position in JPMorgan Chase (JPM) that accounted for 1.29% of the fund's 1Q portfolio. Last quarter, George Soros' Soros Fund Management sold positions in JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup (C).
Shares were up at the beginning of the year despite the bank paying out $22 billion in legal settlements last year and posting a drop in 4Q profits. Chief executive officer (or CEO) Jamie Dimon said in the bank's 4Q earnings statement, "We are pleased to have made progress on our control, regulatory and litigation agendas and to have put some significant issues behind us this quarter." Jefferies analysts were bullish on the stock, and said in January that "JPMorgan Chase recently put the largest of its litigation risk concerns to bed, which has allowed investors to re-engage to an extent." On JPM, Citigroup, and Bank of America (BAC), the analysts noted back then that "While never free from controversy and incrementally burdened by regulation, this group offers attractive risk and return profiles. We see a path to solid EPS growth, ROA and ROE improvement, and increased capital return, providing an upward bias to stock prices and valuations."
Results miss estimates for first quarter due to "industry-wide headwinds in Markets and Mortgage"
Shares fell after JPMorgan reported 1Q results that were below Street expectations. Revenue for the quarter was $23.9 billion, down 8% compared to the prior year. The decrease from the prior year was driven by lower mortgage fees and related income, securities gains, and principal transactions revenue. Net income for the 1Q14 dropped 19% to $5.3 billion from $6.5 billion in the 1Q13. Earnings per share (or EPS) were $1.28, compared to $1.59 in the 1Q13. The decrease in net income from the 1Q13 was driven by lower net revenue and higher provision for credit losses, partially offset by lower non-interest expense.
JPMorgan said the results were considered to be a "good start" to the year despite "industry-wide headwinds in Markets and Mortgage." The bank's bond trading revenue fell 21% and mortgage lending revenue plunged 84% from the same quarter last year. In 4Q13, the bank, like its other peers such as Wells Fargo & Co. (WFC) and Citigroup, saw a huge fall in mortgage income amid rising interest rates ahead of the Federal Reserve's tapering.
The bank's outlook for fixed income and equities said that "based on Markets revenue results to date, which reflect a continued challenging environment and lower client activity levels, it expects 2Q14 Markets revenue to be down approximately 20% plus or minus versus 2Q13. The Markets revenue actual results will depend heavily on performance throughout the remainder of the quarter, which can be volatile." A report in the New York Post said the bank could see 10,000 more layoffs.
Dividend raised to $0.40 per share
JPMorgan declared a quarterly dividend of $0.40 per share. The firm repurchased $0.4 billion of common equity in the first quarter and is authorized to repurchase $6.5 billion of common equity through the 1Q15.

Partying With The Youth
Great Longstone Travel Blog› entry 6 of 23 › view all entries
July 28th, 2007 – by: Higton
You remember Rob, don't you? Shabby haired youth who we met in Costa Rica? Has a peculiar fascination with cowboys. Well he's back from saving the World and it was his birthday, so all to his house for a BBQ. Don't get me wrong, I knew he must be relatively wealthy due to the fact he lived in the Peak District at a place called The Grange. I didn't quite expect this place though.
As you can see from the photo, the front garden is large enough to pitch a tent on. In fact, I suspect you could hold a mini-Glastonbury on it. Although it would be called "Great Longstone". Actually, it would perhaps be called Bakewell given the Glastonbury Festival is actually in Pilton.
I digress.
To summarise, his house is big.
Party on, Tarquin
I was a bit disappointed. All the rich people had normal names and nobody stuck their nose up in the air at me. They don't breed the rich like they used to. I met some lovely people (Hi, Tom, if you ever happen to read this). Rob's family were also great, although the parents hid in the gatehouse most of the time. As one would expect at a birthday BBQ, booze was to be found aplenty, including my hot 'n' spicy Bloody Marys, and I think I ate about 4 pigs. Party games included trying to pick up a cut down cereal box up of the floor using only ones teeth and not touching the floor with anything other than feet. Those succeeding would move to the next round, which was the same thing but with more of the edge cut-off the box.
I had to retire early due to:
1. Age - I simply don't flex like I used to
2. A trouser faux pas, namely my arse being on show due to split trousers. Thanks for the spare pair, Rob.
Oh, and the Peak District was as fabulous as I remember. It was also fantastic to get to the Peaks on Public Transport - train across London, train to Chesterfield, bus to Buxton. Seriously, great fun. Takes a bit longer than a car, but I could read the paper on the train.
Very odd going by my old house though - I'm quite sure how I feel about that.

Baghdadi Mahmoudi, Secretary of the Libyan People`s General Committee took delivery of the three tankers - Ibn Batouta, Gardhabia and Intissar - new additions to the Libyan Maritime Transport Company`s fleet. The tankers built in South Korea by Samaho Hundai, one of the largest ship builders in the world, under supervision by Lloyd`s of Britain, cost US$165 million each, according to industry sources. They are equipped to carry three types of crude oil, and each could unload 3,000 cubic metres of crude per hour. The tankers were purchased by the Libyan Maritime Transport Company to meet the needs of the National Oil Corporation (NOC), in pursuance of local and international standards, and for operation in all ports. They will sail between several Mediterranean ports and in northern Europe, under a long-term deal of specifications signed with NOC. Source: Angola Pres

Email email@example.com or tweet @thomgibbs with the answer to this question: Have you been the recipient or originator of a successful April fool's incident today?
17.04 All over at Turf Moor, and all over in this liveblog. Thanks for your company, I'll talk to you again soon.
90+3 min GOAL!! Burnley 1 Forest 1 (McGugan)
Billy Davies' unbeaten record continues, Lewis McGugan with the final kick of the game from the penalty spot to secure Forest's second draw in succession.
17.00 Forest have a penalty!
16.57 Close but a total lack of cigar for Birmingham, Wolves have beaten them.
90+3 min GOAL!! Cardiff City 3 Blackburn 0 (Whittingham)
A penalty for Cardiff, putting an unecessary gloss on their comfortable win against Blackburn. Full time there.
90+3 min GOAL!! Birmingham 2 Wolves 3 (Elliot)
Penalty was saved at St Andrew's, but Wade Elliot was on hand to tap in the rebound.
16.55 Full times rolling in now. Barnsley have beaten Leicester. Birmingham have a penalty against Wolves.
90+1 min GOAL!! Bristol City 1 Sheff Weds 1 (Baldock)
A possibly meaningless goal for Bristol City, but they've got another couple of minutes to cap a laudable second half performance by scoring a winner.
87 min Crystal Palace throwing everything at Blackpool as time runs out at Bloomfield Road. Blackpool defending well, despite their numerical disadvantage.
85 min GOAL!! Blackpool 1 Palace 0 (Phillips)
Tom Ince makes a surprising goal for 10-man Blackpool. Wheels coming off for Palace at this rate. This is truly the league that no-one wants to come second in.
84 min GOAL!! Cardiff City 2 Blackburn 0 (Mason)
Neat work from Mason to surely wrap up the points for the league leaders.
80 min Cardiff close to guaranteeing the points against Blackburn, with good work from Craig Bellamy nearly leading to a second goal. Blackburn, incidentally dispensed with the man in the lion suit when it became clear he would not be granted a permit to roam around the technical area. They have been through five managers so far this half: Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich.
75 min No goals for Ian Holloway's Crystal Palace at Blackpool, but at least he's had a warm welcome on his return to Bloomfield Road:
72 min Birmingham still well in charge against Wolves but they're running out of time now. Total turnaround from their first half performance, but they still trail 1-3.
70 min GOAL!! Burnley 1 Forest 0 (Stanislas)
Lots of injuries at Turf Moor so very little momentum, but Burnley break from a Forest corner and Junior Stanislas's massively deflected shot gets the better of Karl Darlow in the Forest goal.
69 min What a disappointing set of second halves, amirite? Where are all of the delicious goals? Don't worry liveblog fans, when I type something like that there are normall eight goals in quick succession.
66 min The momentum has decisively shifted at St Andrew's, with Birmingham well on top, despite being 3-1 down to Wolves. Sylvan Ebanks-Blake has had to go off injured for the visitors too, which is unideal.
62 min This would appear to be the highlight of Millwall v Ipswich:
60 min Glenn Murray goes close to scoring his 65th goal of the season for Crystal Palace against 10-man Blackpool. Sounds like it's only a matter of time before Palace capitalise, Wilf Zaha still doing a number of good things.
58 min Blackburn have announced that their new manager is this guy:
55 min Barnsley still hammering Leicester. The home side have had their second disallowed goal of the game.
53 min GOAL!! Birmingham 1 Wolves 3 (Elliot)
Birmingham wholly back in it at the start of the second half, Wade Elliot keeping his composure from the penalty spot.
50 min Barnsley have a penalty at home to Leicester... BUT IT'S MISSED! Kasper Schmeichel with a comfortable save from Jason Scotland. Rubbish penalty.
46 min We are back under way everywhere. Here's the top and bottom of the table as it stands:
15.51 That's the half in the Championship. See you in 10.
45+1 min Half-times coming in now. In other news Barry Ferguson has been sent off for Blackpool at home to Palace. Second bookable offence. That takes some doing in a first half.
44 min GOAL!! Cardiff City 1 Blackburn 0 (Campbell)
Too easy for Fraizer Campbell, and the league leaders have that important pre-break lead. A short-lived reign for sacked soap failure Alan Fletcher, which means experienced local caretaker Peter Sprinkles will take caretaker charge of Blackburn until half-time.
44 min GOAL!! Barnsley 2 Leicester 0 (O'Grady)
Relegation-threatened Barnsley absolutely bossing it at Oakwell against a team supposedly chasing promotion. Albeit one in awful form. Gotta love the Championship, haven't you?
43 min Some really wonderful hair on show at St Andrews. Here's Stephen Hunt celebrating his goal for Wolves:
41 min Cardiff go close against Blackburn, which does for blow-up boss Kenny Dalglish. The new man in charge of Rovers is teatime soap star Alan Fletcher, best known for his work playing Neighbours stalwart Karl Kennedy.
39 min GOAL!! Bristol City 0 Sheffield Weds 1 (Johnson)
The impressive Jermaine Johnson gets the goal his performance so far has merited. This may well spell the end for Bristol City, who are reasonably unlucky to be behind but probably not very unlucky to be bottom of the table.
37 min GOAL!! Birmingham 0 Wolves 3 (Ebanks-Blake)
Wowzers. I shan't be eating those crisps, but not for the reason that I thought. Awful challenge in the box by Jack Butland on Doyle, with the England youngster lucky to escape with only a booking. Ebanks-Blake sends him the wrong way from the penalty spot.
32 min Palace on top now against Blackpool with Manchester United loanee who's yet to play for Manchester United Wilf Zaha having one of his better days. Not being helped by a dog of a pitch, mind. Birmingham go close to pulling one back against Wolves. I'll eat
my hat some crisps if it ends 0-2 there.
29 min Bristol City impressing against Sheffield Wednesday at Ashton Gate, but they have nothing to show for it thus far. They'll need significantly more than nothing if they're to shake of the growing suspicion that they're going down.
28 min GOAL!! Birmingham 0 Wolves 2 (Ebanks-Blake)
Powerful header from Sylvan Ebanks-Blake after an excellent delivery into the box. Butland got a hand to it but could do little with it. Future Blackburn manager Dean Saunders will be delighted.
25 min Still no goals for Blackburn at Cardiff, so Peter Reid has been issued with his P45. He's replaced by a blow-up doll with a picture of the face of Kenny Dalglish taped onto its head.
21 min GOAL!! Birmingham 0 Wolves 1 (Hunt)
There's a thing that's happened! Jack Butland makes an excellent save in the Midlands derby but could only palm it into the path of Stephen Hunt who applies a calm finish.
20 min Lots going on in Leagues One and Two today. Full day's fixtures in both but I'm concentrating ONLY on the Championship here. Which is a real shame, because there's a whole lot of not happening.
17 min Some more from Ian Holloway's pre-match appearance in the sponsor's lounge at Bloomfield Road:
13 min This chap was Blackburn's caretaker manager at the start of this afternoon's games. He's now been sacked and has returned to his job in a pamphlet-printing company on the outskirts of Sheffield:
11 min Blackburn still struggling to do much of any use at Cardiff. As a result they have sacked Jason Wilcox. He's replaced immediately by Peter Reid.
9 min Barnsley have it in the net again at Oakwell, Jason Scotland finishing well but as the lack of goal icon may have hinted at, it's been ruled out for offside. Leicester under siege thus far.
7 min Poor pitch at Blackpool which may not benefit the free-flowin' crisp-passin' game of Crystal Palace. There wasn't much of that in evidence on Friday night.
5 min GOAL!! Barnsley 1 Leicester 0 (Keane OG)
The afternoon's first goal is scored by a Manchester United loanee in the incorrect net. Excellent run down the wing by Barnsley winger Bobby Hassell and Keane applied an excellent finish. Past his own keeper, unfortunately.
4 min Cardiff have started impressively against Blackburn, whose attempt to employ every manager in Europe continues this weekend with the debut of Jason Wilcox on their bench. This may or may not be true.
1 min Here we go, we have kick off around the country. Give it up for the Championship.
14.55 There's not much to do with the Championship in this video of a Turkish pitch invader and the reception he receives, but it's too good not to share here:
14.50 Ian Holloway returns to one of an increasing list of his former clubs today, this from Tom Taylor at Bloomfield Road:
14.45 Blackburn, I have just learned, have had more managerial changes than away wins this season.
14.40 As is the tradition with this sort of thing, here are my doomed predictions for today's games:
14.30 Afternoon liveblog fans.
It's an exciting day of Championship football, when is it ever not?
The world's finest league has offered us a semi-local derby in the Midlands, a six pointer in cider country and Millwall v Ipswich. What a treat.
The colour red's favourite sons Cardiff City can take a step closer to automatic promotion at home to inevitably-struggling Blackburn, but are coming off the back of a surprising 2-1 defeat to inconsistency's Peterborough United.
The battle for the play-offs is of most interest this afternoon, with Leicester, Forest and Palace all in contention.
At the bottom doomed Bristol City would really enjoy a win against Sheffield Wednesday, who are also looking shaky. Wolves are in the relegation places and travel to St Andrew's to play a Birmingham side that beat Palace 4-0 in South London on Good Friday. Gulp.
Barnsley are another side in danger of an overdue return to League One with a tough task against play-off botherers Leicester.
Also: Millwall v Ipswich. That game is totally happening. I can't stress that enough.
Team news, goals and LOLz to follow. It's clearly going to be wonderful, stay tuned.

This guidebook is an essential companion to walking the Way of St James. The Camino de Santiago is a thousand year old pilgrim road from Le Puy-en-Valey in central France to Santiago de Compostela cathedral in northwest Spain and finally on to Finisterre on the Galician coast. Many who walk the route, known as the Camino Frances, are not experienced walkers, but with this guidebook, all the information a pilgrim needs to tackle the challenge is at hand.
Ancient pathways, medieval churches, castles, towering mountains, and following in the footsteps of history over 1500km in France and Spain. It's a daunting distance, and this second-part guide to the pilgrimage as it travels through Spain covers the final 778kms of the route. It is further divided into sections: Saint-Jean-de-Pied-de-Port to Roncesvalles (over the Pyrenees), Roncesvalles to Burgos, Burgos to Léon, Léon to Sarria and Sarria to Santiago de Compostela. A further section from Santiago to "the ends of the Earth" at Finisterre on the Atlantic coast is also included.
This guide is the ideal companion to the Spanish section of the Pilgrim Way to Santiago. The walk from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Santiago can be completed in four to five weeks by anyone with a reasonable level of fitness and who also likes to visit the varied places of interest along the way. It can also be undertaken in sections by those who lack the time to do it all in one go or who would just like to cover certain stretches. As well as the route description, the guide also includes stage maps, information on accommodation, access and where to get your pilgrim stamp in the towns and villages. A thorough introduction informs on the long history of the Way of St James, and advises on what to take with you, and how to manage a long-distance trail.

Kraft Heinz to shut 7 plants, including Wisconsin Oscar Mayer plant
Kraft Heinz told employees on Wednesday it plans to shut seven manufacturing facilities over the next one to two years, eliminating 2,600 jobs, including an Oscar Mayer plant in Madison, Wis., Michael Mullen, senior vice president corporate and government affairs, said in an emailed statement. The Oscar Mayer plant employs about 1,250 workers. "Additionally, Kraft Heinz is announcing that in 2016 we will move Oscar Mayer and our U.S. Meats Business Unit from Madison, Wis., to our co-headquarters in Chicago. The move will bring 250 jobs to the Chicago area," Mullen said. "Members of the Oscar Mayer and U.S. Meats Business Unit will have the opportunity to move with the business to Chicago. The move centralizes all our U.S. Business Units to our co-headquarters of Chicago and Pittsburgh, which will drive increased collaboration and efficiency." The seven Kraft Heinz North American manufacturing facilities that will close include plants in Fullerton and San Leandro, Calif., Federalsburg, Md., St. Marys, Ontario, Canada; Campbell, N.Y., Lehigh Valley, Penn. and Madison, Wis...more (registration)

Photo Diary// Plant Problem
But fresh cut flowers and indoor plants, those I can handle. It might be an "out-of-sight-out-of-mind" issue, I dunno. Anyway, there's just something about having flowers and plants around the house that really brightens up the mood of a room. Whenever I get a bodega bouquet I like to split it up so I can have flowers in every room. I've also got a few new house plants, two are in my office. Sometimes when I'm having a slow or rough day at work, the plants cheer me up, somehow.
