Today's guest blog is from Dr Emma Derbyshire from The Natural Hydration Council, with some top tips on how hydration can keep you and your family feeling at their best this winter. Read on to find some ideas to keep your children safe and hydrated, especially if you are traveling.
It's cold outside. Winter is officially here, and with it bitter wind, frozen fingers and the compulsion to crank the central heating up to 'max'. Everyone knows how important it is to keep warm and wrapped up at this time of year, but not everyone remembers that hydration is just as important in the winter as it is in the balmy summer months. Whatever the weather, adults need between 2 litres and 2.5 litres of fluid a day from food and drink(1), and as central heating, air conditioning and festive partying can all contribute to dehydration, it is a good idea to keep topped up.
Cold weather during the winter months can make it harder for us to feel thirsty (2) so drinking fluids regularly can help to avoid dehydration.
Children often need to be reminded to have a drink and are at a greater risk of dehydration than adults as they have higher water requirements in relation to their body weight. During the summer months when it is warm, hydration is usually front of mind for parents, but when the cold sets in and noses start running, it can get forgotten.
So, here are my top tips to ensuring you and your children are kept healthy hydrated this winter:
- Keep warm, but if you start to feel hot, bothered, or thirsty, a few sips of water may help you too cool down.
- If you are planning a busy shopping day consider taking a bottle of water with you to sip throughout the day.
- If seeking some winter sun, or fun in colder climates make sure you drink enough water before you fly and throughout your journey.
- Try to alternate alcoholic drinks with soft drinks at parties, and have a glass of water next to your bed to drink whenever you feel thirsty.
- We all feel a bit weary towards the end of the year. One possible reason may be that you are dehydrated as symptoms include feeling tired and sluggish. Try having a glass of water which may reduce these feelings and boost your alertness.
- Follow the Natural Hydration Council's Healthy Hydration guides – and remember water is one of the healthiest ways to hydrate as it contains no sugar, calories or additives.

World Cup 2018: Croatia captain Luke Modric wins Golden Ball
Luka Modric has won the Golden Ball for the best player at the 2018 World Cup.
The Croatia captain and Real Madrid midfielder inspired his side to the final for the first time in their history but was powerless to prevent Didier Deschamps' men from taking the trophy 4-2 in Moscow.
Modric beat Belgium forward Eden Hazard and Antoine Griezmann, who claimed a winner's medal after netting for Les Bleus in the final, to the prize.
FIFA's Technical Study Group decided the winner of the award, which was given to Argentina's Lionel Messi in 2014.
Past winners include Zinedine Zidane, Brazil great Ronaldo, Diego Maradona and Paolo Rossi.
Modric is also among the early favorites to win the 2018 Ballon d'Or later this year.

UPDATE: At this time, the Parents League Preschool Fair has been postponed. If you have any questions and/or would like to be added to our admissions distribution list, we encourage you to reach out to us directly here.
There are four steps to our admissions process: (1) Application (2) Lottery (3) Parent Visit (includes a tour and group interview) and (4) Child Visit.
Step 1: Application
Complete an online application. Applications will be available September 1st – October 14th.
- In order to proceed through our process, an application must be on file.
- An application is needed for all first time, re-applying and sibling applicants.
- If you are applying for financial aid, the application fee is waived.
Step 2: Admissions Lottery
We would love to meet all families interested in our school. However, each year we have a large number of requests for applications. Due to limited availability with a growing number of siblings, we hold a lottery for applicants applying to our Toddler, 2s/3s and 3s/4s classes. This lottery determines who moves forward with our application and touring process. Notification of lottery results will be emailed to applicants mid-October. Please note, all children applying to our 4s/5s program will automatically move forward with our application and touring process.
Step 3: Parent Visits: Interview and Tour
For families continuing in the process, a school visit will be arranged for parents between October and January. This visit includes a school tour and an informal group interview session with our director of admissions and school director.
- For parents only and are approximately one hour long. Parents are encouraged to ask questions to learn as much as they can about our program.
- Parents of first-time applicants are required to attend a Parent Visit.
- Parents of sibling applicants and any families who are reapplying are welcome, but not required, to attend again.
Step 4: Child Visits: A Play Observation
Child visits will be held on Monday, January 6, 2020.* In October, we will email you with a specific appointment day and time for your child's visit.
Your child's visit is essential to the application process. If your child is not available on Monday, 1/6/20, please notify our admissions office as early as possible. Make-up dates are limited.
Open House
Attending an Open House is not required for application. If your child is selected in the lottery, parents are required to attend a separate, small group Parent Visit. Open Houses will be held on September 19th and October 2nd.
Letters of notification will be emailed to parents according to the dates specified by the Independent School Admissions Association of Greater New York (ISAAGNY).
Sibling Applications
We truly value our current and past families and enjoy welcoming siblings to our community. All siblings are expected to apply at the Toddler or 2s/3s level.
- Siblings must submit an application.
- All siblings receive a play date and are exempt from the general lottery.
- Sibling play dates will be held in November.
- For those applying for financial aid, submit forms between November 1st – December 15th.
- All siblings receive early notification in December unless a family contacts our office to note otherwise. Please note that early notification is never a guarantee of admission.
We do our absolute best to accommodate all sibling applicants after placing our returning students but we cannot guarantee morning placement for all siblings.
Out-of-Town Applications
Our goal is to accommodate the schedules of out of town applicants to Barrow Street. Therefore, please inform us as soon as possible of any dates you plan to be in the New York City area so we can schedule a visit and tour for you and your child. Whenever possible, we would like to have children participate in our regularly scheduled group visits.

Adrien Rabiot "can't wait to debut in this new adventure" for Juventus ahead of their Serie A opener against Parma. "Juve are ready for anything."
The former Paris Saint-Germain star was a free agent and considered offers from Manchester United and others before picking Turin.
"I can't wait to debut in this new adventure," he told Sky Sport Italia. "We had a good pre-season and a lot of time to prepare the new campaign. They'll all be difficult, starting with Parma this weekend, but we're confident.
"Juve are ready for anything and will be concentrated, but first we must focus everything on Parma. I don't know if I'll start on Saturday, but I feel good and can't wait to play in Serie A.
"Turin is very different to Paris, but my family and I are settling in well, which is an important aspect for me to give my best on the pitch."
One of the reasons Rabiot gave for joining Juventus was the chance to play alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.
"Ronaldo is a great professional and it is an advantage for me to train and play with him. We both play on the left, so we have a good rapport and are refining it further with time."
France legend Franck Ribery held his presentation Press conference at Fiorentina today, as more and more players are crossing the Alps.
"Ribery is a great player who has won so much in his career," added Rabiot.
"It's positive for Serie A, for the Viola and for everyone in general that he is here, because he lifts the level and I am happy that he's in Italy."

My favourite saying is 'laughter is the best medicine'.
The quote, "happiness is an inside job" is absolutely true. We choose how we let situations, decisions, and circumstances affect us. You can choose to look at the downside of everything, or you can choose to be happy because happiness is a choice…it's your choice!
Unfortunately, many of us choose to dwell on things that aren't going well, the problems in our lives, or the things we don't have. We do this despite the fact that each and every one of us have SOOOOOOOOO much to be grateful for.
So, how happy are you? Do you consciously choose to be happy, or do you focus on the negative?
If you have a difficult time choosing to be happy, I'm going to let you in on a little secret.
What if I told you there is a way to be happier right away…no matter what? You would most likely want to know…

Budgeting with iMoney | Ion Bank
You have a busy life. Whether you're going to school, advancing in your career, raising a family or all the above, it can be hard to stay focused on your finances. But paying more attention to how you manage your money today can lead to a better lifestyle and more financial security tomorrow. iMoney from Ion Bank makes it easy to stay on top of your finances.
iMoney is an online money management tool designed to fit your busy schedule making financial decision-making fast and simple. Because iMoney is built right into Online Banking, you can easily access it anytime, anywhere.
As a powerful money management and budgeting tool, iMoney can help you:
- Create a Personalized Budget
There's lots of advice out there about how to structure a budget. One popular suggestion is the 50/30/20 rule, which advises using 50 percent of your after-tax income for things you need like housing, 30 percent for things you want like dining out or streaming services and 20 percent for savings or paying down debt.
While this is a good guideline, no budget is one-size-fits-all, which is why iMoney was designed to automatically create a budget just for you, based on your unique transaction history. You can also adjust your budget based on your needs and priorities. And iMoney's "bubble budget" visualization makes it easy to monitor your spending in real time and make changes when needed like trimming down a type of expense or setting aside more for savings.
- Make Sense of Expenses
If you're like most of us, you probably have many financial responsibilities – rent or mortgage payments, groceries, childcare, and the list goes on. iMoney makes it easy to plan for these different expenses by showing you all your Ion Bank and outside accounts in one place, with just one login. See real-time balances and transactions related to your bank accounts, credit cards, auto loan, mortgage and more, so you can make informed decisions quickly.
- Look into the Future
Will buying that new pair of shoes put you over your budget? Can you start adding more to savings? Do you need to move funds to pay an upcoming bill? The right budgeting tools make it easier to answer these questions and ensure your money is being put to the best use.
iMoney's Cash Flow tool gives you a very well-informed look at what's around the corner. By tracking previous income and spending trends, this powerful function can estimate your cash balance up to six weeks ahead. And, if you're not happy about what you see, changing your spending habits now could make a big difference later.
- Take Steps to Conquer Debt
Debt is a reality for many, but it doesn't have to be permanent. With iMoney's Debts tool, users can see all their outstanding debts in one place and create an expedited yet budget-friendly strategy to pay off debt faster while minimizing how much interest you pay.
- Set Goals – and Go After Them
Your biggest goals – whether a comfortable retirement, sending your kids to college, or taking a dream vacation – often come with a big price tag. They also may require long-term planning. Use iMoney's Goals tool to visualize your short- and long-term financial goals to guide your budgeting and track your progress in reaching savings, pay off debt and retirement goals.
After all, budgeting isn't just about managing money today; it's about making the most of tomorrow.
iMoney is a secure online personal finance tool designed to help you make the most of your time and money while building a stronger financial future. It's easy to set up, easy to use, and free for Ion Bank customers. Learn more and start using iMoney now.

An officer-involved shooting on the campus of Gilroy High School prompted the evacuation of the school's football stadium during a youth tournament Sunday afternoon, according to Gilroy police.
Officers responded to the high school to find a man who had driven onto the campus and was driving recklessly, police Capt. Joe Deras said. At one point, the driver accelerated directly at a responding officer, who fired one shot before the man swerved away.
No one was hit by gunfire or injured, Deras said.
The man continued to drive recklessly on the campus as more officers arrived to pursue him. He eventually spun out on a practice football field, where he was taken into custody, Deras said.
The incident began about 1 p.m. when the Gilroy Police Department received a call from a man speaking incoherently, Deras said. The man said he was several counties away, but officers determined the caller was at Gilroy High School.
The football stadium, where about 100 people were attending a youth football tournament, was evacuated during the incident, but was later cleared for the tournament to resume, Deras said.
Earlier Sunday, police were made aware of a stolen vehicle out of the Fresno area, and the suspect involved was said to be a former police officer with access to firearms, police said. The suspect had referenced a stolen vehicle out of Fresno during his first call to Gilroy police.
The suspect disconnected that first call and called police again minutes later, describing the athletic events taking place at Gilroy High School and expressing his desire to fight with police officers, police said.
The incident is under investigation. Anyone with information about the crime is urged to call Gilroy Police Detectives at (408) 846-0350. Parties wishing to remain anonymous may call the We-Tip Line at (800) 782-7463.

Ashley e-news July 2011
We send out a regular email newsletter to any residents of Ashley ward who are interested in what is happening in their area and in what Gus Hoyt, their Green councillor, has been doing. If you would like to subscribe to this newsletter, please email ashley-news.
Dear Ashley resident,
It gives me great pleasure to write to you as your new councillor. The landslide victory for the Green Party in Ashley ward was humbling and I have barely stopped working since. I have been involved in issues from local refuse collection to the economic direction of our city, and everything in-between.
The Green group's first major success on the council was to ensure English as a second language teaching would not be cut from the budget. We negotiated this with Council leader Barbara Janke, who has promised to maintain this service and there are task groups now established to facilitate this happening. ESOL is more than learning to speak English; it is about equality in its most basic form; daily interaction within and among communities – something that makes Bristol such an interesting and resilient city.
We will provide you with regular updates giving you information on local campaigns and council news, but I cannot hope to include everything, so please contact me if you have any specific enquiries. Thank you for your time and I hope you enjoy the read.
Cllr Gus Hoyt
School Places
Greens make school places a major council issue
A huge issue at the moment is school places – especially Primary. Many parents have not received an acceptable place (no matter what the official statistics say) and the schools that do exist seriously lack capital investment.
I asked for a place on the Children & Young People's Services (CYPS) scrutiny committee and the Green group have made this a major issue on the council. The constant hurdles in this process mean that the council WILL fail parents aiming for the September 2011 intake. This pains me deeply but I'm working tirelessly to change this.
The national and local policy seems to be hell-bent on progressing down the route of Academies and Free Schools. This will be disastrous for Bristol and will only further segregate our children into haves and have-nots. I urge you to oppose these moves and insist we as a council are allowed to provide fair and equal education to every child in the city. Please write to your school, your councillor and your MP.
Westmoreland House
Call for local engagement in planning
As you well may know Westmoreland House (and the Carriage Works) – the vast derelict building at the junction of Stokes Croft/Ashley Rd/Nine Tree Hill – might soon be council owned due to a compulsory purchase order. I believe it is crucial that the area develops and is not simply "developed" by outsiders. I'm calling for local input to this process. Please put on your best visioning-caps and imagine what it could be. We must strive for excellence and cannot just end up with yet more single occupancy flats. The potential here is enormous; this could be a landmark for Bristol and an architectural jewel in the heart of our community
Greens supporting local food
Recent happenings in the No Tesco in Stokes Croft campaign have been:
- a peaceful and fun tea party outside Tesco with locally bought and made cake for all! More information: BBC news article
- the campaign being granted a judicial review for the way in which planning permission was obtained for the Tesco store – a big victory! More information: Guardian news article
- the beginnings of the People's Supermarket project. Click here to go to the facebook group
- Bristol Green Parties have hosted a free public meeting. Taking the form of a Bristol-wide ideas exchange, the focus was on campaigns to support local food outlets and control large-chain supermarket development. Notes from the meeting are available here.
Local volunteers have started a petition which calls for the UK government to launch an independent inquiry to investigate fully the causes of the disturbances in Stokes Croft, and the lessons learned. At the time of writing, over 400 people had signed. For more information and to sign the petition, go here: Link to petition
Ashton Vale
Greens dispute stadium planning
The Council has voted to approve a "split site" so that town green campaigners and stadium developers share the Ashton Vale site. Green Party Councillor for Southville Tess Green said: "It doesn't give the people of Ashton Vale what they want. It would be much better at Filton on the former airfield where there is easy access to the motorways."

Local Enterprise Zone
Greens express doubts about Enterprise zone proposal
You will soon hear much talk about Local Enterprise Zones (LEZ) and Partnerships (LEP). Most of the information will speak of how much development and growth it will bring to the city. Other cities have (for the most part) found the opposite to be true.
Wealth and business centres collapse as the race to the new zones commences, with it's relaxed planning regulations and lowered business rates. It will leave yet more "offices to let" and empty shop fronts as the rush to a new "Bull-Ring style development" may occur next to Temple Meads.
I simply suggest that we need funds to flow into our local economy, strengthening our independent shopkeepers. If business rates are to be lowered, this should benefit individual traders and not multinationals or we run the risk of losing all that we hold dear as we morph into just another Clone Town.

Bombers and Lions pass auditBy Andrew Johnston
THE Kyabram Bombers are not only dominating the GVL, they're doing it the right way.
An audit undertaken by the AFL Goulburn Murray Commission of three clubs - also including KDFNL club Stanhope and MFNL club Barooga - found "... satisfaction with the outcome of the findings of all three clubs where no sanctions will apply, and all found to be within the correct parameters of their salary cap CCSP".
The audit was completed based on the clubs' 2018 season, where the Bombers lost just one match for the year.
Bombers president Rob Schumann said the club was happy to have been involved in the process.
"It provided us with an opportunity to have our processes and record keeping reviewed and tested to ensure that we were following the rules and meeting the requirements of the AFL commission, and allowed us to get some clarification around best practice," he said.
"The audit process and the information we were required to provide the auditor was quite extensive and the end result was that we were praised for the level of record keeping we have in place.
"This outcome reinforces to our executive and board at Kyabram FNC that we have the right systems in place and reassures the football community that we are operating within the cap."
Brent Sloan, president of Stanhope FNC, said he was happy with the findings for the club.
"The audit process was very professional, and our club was happy," he said.
AFLGM general manager Jamie Macri said it was important to run random checks in order to ensure all clubs were acting within the rules.
"It is a timely reminder that all clubs in our region need to follow the correct measures and lodge the player contracts and declarations by the expected dates to ensure that they are compliant with the AFL Victoria Salary Cap guidelines," he said.

Rick Snyder, the Republican candidate, could not provide specifics. He spoke through the entire debate saying "we need to do this," "we need to do that," and "this is how we measure this."
Virgil Bernero, the Democrat, was worse. Some will say he won the debate because he attacked Snyder for allegedly moving business to China. His facts are disputable, a very generous term. If your facts are out of line with reality, doesn't the opponent technically win by default?
Snyder's novice political qualities are shown in full light. Bernero showed he's nothing more than an overly aggressive loudmouth who "writes checks his ass can't cash."
This will be the only debate, and it should be. No one will watch a 2nd or 3rd debate, and no one watches debates between the other candidates for statewide office. How good would they be for the public? At best, it'd be out there on TV for an hour and then in cyberspace.
It's to Snyder's advantage not to have another debate. It'd be like 1998 all over again when the Democrats nominated someone even more obnoxious and even less qualified to be governor: Geoffrey Fieger. Why should then-Gov. John Engler have chosen to debate him? It would have been a circus. Fieger compared Engler to Stalin and Hitler, his ads made your skin crawl, and the state was humming along fine.
It seems like people have already made up their mind at this point. Methinks I'm staying home.

MORE than £5,000 of vital funding has been handed to two good causes thanks to a golf captain who was inspired by his wife's battle with arthritis.
Glynn Simms served as the 2018 captain at Cricket St Thomas Golf Club, and worked tirelessly on fundraisers throughout the year.
In total, a giant charity cheque for £3,717 was donated to a representative from Versus Arthritis, while £2,000 was handed to St Margaret's Somerset Hospice.
On hand for the cheque presentation with Glynn was his daughter Isla Simms, who also works at Cricket St Thomas Golf Club, and the 2019 captain Steve Barry.
Glynn said: "All the money raised was from the support of members, family and friends at events held at the club during my captain's year in 2018.
"This included my Captain's Day, a charity golf day and auction, and Easter and Christmas quizzes."
Versus Arthritis was launched in September 2018 after the merger of the UK's two leading arthritis charities, Arthritis Research UK and Arthritis Care.
"I chose Arthritis Research UK as my chosen charity as it is a charity close to my heart," Glynn added.
"My wife has been suffering with this awful condition since she was diagnosed at the age of 16.
"St Margaret's Hospice is a fantastic local charity that we have supported for the last two years and it is a charity that most members at the club can also relate to, they do fantastic work with terminally ill patients and their families."
Adrian Williams is the community relationships fundraiser at Versus Arthritis.
He said: "Glynn put an enormous amount of effort into his fundraising for our charity and we were proud to work with him.
"Versus Arthritis works hard to push back against the pain and isolation caused by muscoskeletal pain.
"For the year of his captaincy at Cricket St Thomas, Glynn pulled out all the stops to help us in our vital work.
"Thank You Glynn and everyone at Cricket St Thomas Golf Club for offering hope to the 10 million people who wake up in pain every day."

I might have to invest in a mini cheesecake pan just to make these bite size gems from Baked by Rachel. If nothing else, it would be a great excuse to go shopping and then an even better excuse to eat a cheesecake cupcake. Or wait, does that even require an excuse? Yes, there are Oreos and cheesecake and whipped cream. Nothing else needs to be said.
Mini Cookies and Cream Cheesecakes
Makes about 20 mini cheesecakes
10 original Oreo cookies with cream (*not Double Stuf)
1 Tbsp unsalted butter
12oz cream cheese, softened
1/2C granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1/2C cookie pieces (10 cookie halves, cream filling removed)
Whipped cream:
1/2C heavy cream
2 Tbsp powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
Mini Oreo cookies for topping
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a mini cheesecake pan. Set aside.
Blend 10 cookies until only fine crumbs remain. Add butter, mix well. Divide among prepared cheesecake cavities, using one small cookie scoop each. Press down to create a flat crust. Bake for 5 minutes.
Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees.
In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add in vanilla, cookie pieces and egg. Mix until just combined. Fill each cheesecake pan cavity 3/4 full or roughly 1 and 1/4 medium cookie scoop. Tap pan on counter to release air bubbles. Bake for 15-18 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack. Transfer to fridge to chill at least 4-6 hours or overnight.
Mix whipped cream ingredients until stiff peaks form. Carefully remove cheesecakes from pan, removing pan bottoms. Top off with whipped cream and a mini Oreo cookie. Store cheesecakes chilled.

Xiaomi is emerging as an industry leader in the tech world — the specs, build quality and low price range are giving the company unprecedented momentum while gaining more and more attention worldwide. However, such popularity has its draw-backs, such as cheap imitations. With Xiaomi, this trend of fakes is so widespread that on today's market there are more fake power banks than there are originals. Since fake Xiaomi power banks are quite similar to the original ones, we've created a quick checklist that should help you identify the imposter:

The aim of this study was to assess whether the recently developed Diet Quality Index-International (DQI-I) could be used to evaluate diet quality of a Mediterranean population. A cross-sectional nutritional survey was carried out in the Balearic Islands (Spain) between 1999 and 2000. Dietary information (replicated 24 h recall and a food frequency questionnaire), and socio-demographic and lifestyle data were collected from a representative sample of the population (n 1200: 498 males and 702 females) aged 16–65 years (response rate 77·22 %). The DQI-I was developed according to the method defined by Kim et al. (2003), and focused on four major aspects of a high-quality diet (variety, adequacy, moderation and overall balance). The percentage of adherence to the Mediterranean dietary pattern (MDP) was also calculated and correlation analysis was carried out between the DQI-I score and the percentage of adherence to the MDP. The total score of the DQI-I reached 43 % of the possible score, indicating that the Balearic diet was a poor-quality diet. Correlation analysis between the DQI-I scores and adherence to the MDP showed that the DQI-I subcategories protein, iron and calcium adequacy were negatively correlated with the MDP. Furthermore, moderation in empty calorie food consumption and overall balance subcategories were not significantly correlated with the MDP. Due to some methodological factors and cultural biases, the proposed DQI-I scoring system is not useful to evaluate the quality of this Mediterranean-type diet. Further research is needed to develop a new diet quality index adapted to the MDP.

Student debt weighs on millennial voters
Driving miles from Long Island to Brooklyn, middle school teacher Rebecca Campbell, 29, brings in extra supplies for her students in one of New York's toughest neighborhoods. She teaches at one of the two bottom public schools in the city where 100 percent of the students receive free lunch and 80 percent are in temporary housing. It's considered a Title 1 school with students are at risk of falling behind academically.
She receives a stipend of $250 to buy supplies for each school year. She also spends an additional $400 to $500 a year buying extra notebooks, ordering teaching software, resources to build her class curriculum, printing paper, etc. Campbell came across the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program and thought it would help take the load off her loans. The program would allow her loans to receive forgiveness after 120 qualifying payments.
"$30,000 is a lot of money to be in debt on top of other student loans, and it's rare to find opportunities where teachers get scholarships or help from their jobs to go to school like other professions," she said.
The Federal Reserve Bank Of St. Louis reports student loan debt at $1.53 trillion. President Donald Trump's 2019 budget proposal wants to do away with subsidized loans and the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. Republican control of Congress after the midterm elections on Nov. 6 may leave Campbell and others unable to receive loan forgiveness, increasing the debt to another level.
Campbell worries not only about herself but teachers in other states. Most teachers in the south make up to $27,000 a year and still have high debt. Campbell has been an independent voter since turning 18. She has decided to vote for the Democrats since she says they have a consistent interest in where she lives.
"Cost of living for teachers may be different but the interest rates on student loans are the same," said Campbell. At least offer an opportunity for us lower middle class and those at the poverty level to pay off our student loans."
A quick look at 2018 student debt
Data: Studentaid.ed.gov , Graph: Lauren Whyte
Robeson Hilton, financial advisor of AXA Advisors, said subsidized loans allow people to go to college and not have accrue interest.
Subsidized loans differ from the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program. The U.S. Department of Education pays interest on these loans while the borrower is in school, during their six-month grace period, or if they are in a deferment period.
"For a student if they are going to have subsidized loans it's very advantageous to them because the whole point of going to go to school is to be able to get a good paying job," said Hilton. "And while you are in school, you don't have a good paying job."
According to Hilton, his clients contribute 20 to 30 percent of their paychecks to loans, and it will affect the next generation's ability to invest and save for a future for themselves.
Student debt impacting society
According to Debt.org, the average student debt in 2017 was $37,172. However, Pew Research Center reports that the median for bachelor's degree holders owed $25,000, which is much less than postgraduates who owed $45,000.
A college graduate needs at least a starting salary of $47,000 to pay it off if they are single. Ashley Oken, 26, who paid off subsidized loans as an undergrad at CUNY York College and is still paying loans while attending grad school at Fordham University, is upset about this proposal from Trump.
"Subsidized loans lift the burden off of so many millennials who are struggling to make a life for themselves due to the debt that loans put them in," said Oken."It's another way to put poorer people further into a hole of debt just for wanting to get an education while the richer people continue to thrive on their wealth."
Meanwhile, Craig Ferrantino, financial advisor of Craig James Financial Services, said students aren't properly prepared in high school to understand the expense of college tuition.
"We have students that wanna go to college, signing documents that have no idea what to do with it," said Ferrantino."It's not insulting to students, it's just that high school doesn't prepare you for the debt you are gonna take on."
These rash decisions from students have cost them so much to pay it off. It would get worse if the Democrats don't win.
"Student loans, the way they are now it's like buying a house," said Hilton. "I see it getting worse in the next four or five years because if you take away subsidized loans from people you are just going to have more debt."

Whether you are creating an entire web page or just a simple blog, chances are that you will need to use the CSS programming language to lay out and plan your site. CSS is useful for a variety of HTML and web projects. If you want to use CSS to create a table on your site, you should follow the below steps to make your table is programmed correctly.
Tables and Borders
You should first decide what kind of table you are going to have – this includes setting up the correct number of columns and rows. You can use various HTML elements to create column and row headers, depending on the layout of the table. Next, you will need to create come borders for your table. The first border you create should be for the outside areas of the table, and then you may wish to set up a border-collapse rule. This will ensure that there is only one line between the cells in your table. Here is an example of how your code should look if you choose to set up the border-collapse rule:
table {
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #000000;
border-collapse: collapse;
Now you can also choose to add a border around the header and data cells in your table. Should you choose to keep the border-collapse rule in place, your table will have a single border between its cells. An example of this code would look like this:
th, td {
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #000000;
CSS can also be used to create captions for your tables. Depending on where you want to place your caption in your table, you can create either a caption-side: top or caption-side: bottom rule. Switch between the rules and play around with your table if you are not certain which layout will look best.
As standard, the caption text will appear centered and in bold in your table. If you want to change this style, you can write additional rules to alter the color and size of your font. For example, the following rule will alter the spacing of the letter and the variant of the font in your caption:
th {
font-variant: small-caps;
color: #666666;
letter-spacing: 0.2em;
CSS code can also alter the alignment of your table. Text in cells in automatically aligned in the middle of data rows with CSS, although you can change it to align at the top with the following piece of code:
td {
vertical-align: top;
Similarly, if you want your code aligned at the top and in the center of the row, rather than fully justified to the left as it appears in the default setting, you can add this line to the rule:
td {
vertical-align: top;
text-align: center;
These basic rules should help you create tables and edit them for your web pages.

Sunday, the Seattle Marathon will once again circle the city. But this year, the runners, joggers, and walkers won't be crossing Capitol Hill.
Race organizers are rolling out a new route in 2018 that leans heavily on the Burke Gilman Trail but will no longer include the old course's path through Capitol Hill via Interlaken.
The changes mean crowds that used to gather on the northern fringes of Capitol Hill to mark mile 22.5 of the race will no longer fill Interlaken with the annual final boost of cheering and enthusiasm.
They come after light rail construction on I-90 eliminated the bridge from the marathon course last year. Organizers responded to feedback about elevation gains and further tweaked the maps with a whole new layout in 2018.
"We're really excited about the changes, and we think you will be too," organizers write. "We listened to your feedback about last year's course, and we worked to make this one more runner (and walker) friendly, with less hills. That's right. This year's course is much flatter than last year."
The result for half marathon runners is a change from a 1,075-foot gain in 2017 to an 807-foot gain on this year's new course. Marathoners are trading in a whopping 1,468-foot gain for the new, flatter rise of 1,165 feet.
The new plan also come with new start times. Half marathoner will take off at 7:30 AM with the marathon crowd following 30 minutes later. 10,000 are expected to participate.

Make It A VAPECATION
You have had this trip booked for months and now you are a few days away from your dream vacation. You are all packed and ready to go, but wait, your e-cigarette! You think to yourself, if bringing shampoo on a plane has caused troubles at security before, then your vape could be a nightmare to bring! Do not stress! It's not as bad as you may think. Here are some important steps to making sure your departure to arrival goes smoothly when bringing your personal e-cigarette.
First off, it is important to check the laws that are in place where you plan on visiting. Some countries have banned the use of electronic cigarettes completely, so it's very important to know before hand to avoid your device and accessories being confiscated.
Now, let's get down to business.
Here are some questions you will want to ask yourself before packing all your devices, ejuice and other hardware;
Answering these questions will assist you in determining the amount of vape gear you plan on taking with you.
You may be thinking to yourself, but why do I care if my accommodations are "smoke friendly" or "smoke free"?
Pictured Device: Minikin V1.5 150W TC Mod and Nautilus X
Vaping isn't smoking, so how would this apply to me? Good question! Well, if you find yourself in a "smoke free" environment, chances are that people may mistake the vapor for smoke. Yet, a "smoke friendly" environment will (most likely) not have any problem with vaping. Of course that being said you always want to be aware and respectful of you surroundings.
Now, in order to gauge how much e-juice to take with you it is always a good idea to keep a "vape diary" for the weeks leading up to your trip. Yes, I know this sounds silly, but I promise it will help! What this will tell you is how much juice you go through in a week's time.
So if your trip is a week long make sure you start your "vape diary" a week or two prior to your trip. If you have stumbled on this article and you are less than a week away from your trip then try and remember how much e-juice you have gone through in the last week.
It is also important to consider the fact that you may be consuming alcohol (if that's your thing) and if that is a craving trigger of yours. Be sure to factor that into the amount you bring with you.
Another key factor to consider is what kind of atomizer you will be bringing. Whether it will be a tank or a rebuildable atomizer, a mouth to lung or a direct to lung these will all affect the amount of e-liquid you should take with you.
Let's say for example, you are bringing a Nautilus X with a 1.5ohm coil and you use it as your high nicotine mouth to lung. A setup like this wouldn't go through as much e-juice as a Smok TFV8 Cloud Beast. For a week long trip you may find you only need one 30mL bottle of juice, or maybe a 60mL just to be safe. If you were to bring a Subohm direct to lung tank you may consider bringing about 120 mL of e-juice with you.
This brings us to another important point, luggage. Will you be using carry on only, or will you have checked baggage as well? We will get into vape device packing safety later in the article, but for e-juice packing procedures it is crucial that you place all e-juice in the required liquid bag. You can get these bags at the security line or any resealable plastic bag that does not exceed one liter (1L) in capacity.
Be sure to factor in the other liquids you may be bringing with you such as; mouthwash, shampoo, perfume/cologne, etc.
Pictured Items: eVic AiO, Bubble Punch, and Nana Banana
If finding space in your liquid bag is proving to be a struggle always remember you can (most of the time) purchase toiletries once you have arrived at your destination.
Once you have determined the amount of e-liquid you will be bringing with you, the next step would be deciding how many coils you will be taking with you. This of course is if you are bringing a tank with pre built coils. This is always suggested as it is easier to bring premade coils as rebuildables would require you to bring build supplies. This may pose as an issue if you are only planning on taking carry on luggage as clippers, scissors and any other sharp objects are prohibited.That being said, if you plan on checking your luggage; then you can bring your build kit with you! If you do decide a tank would be less work and easier for your travels then this is where that "vape diary" would come in handy.
In addition to keeping track of your e-juice consumption be sure to take note of your coil replacing habits. This will help you determine the amount of extra coils you bring.
Now that you have your e-juice and coils allocated for your trip it's time to determine what device to bring! This of course will depend on the atomizer you are bringing and how much power it needs to run. Here are some important points to keep in mind when choosing a device to pack.
Devices with External Batteries:
Pictured Items: Chubby Gorilla 18650 Battery Case and 18650 Samsung INR18650-30Q 3000mAh Flat Top
Devices that require external batteries to be inserted are completely acceptable to bring, although airlines require that batteries are removed and placed in a protective battery case.
This should be done before going through security. These cased batteries must be kept in your carry on. Also keep in mind you will have to bring an external battery charger and possibly extra batteries (as we don't recommend using on board charging for these types of devices unless it is an emergency).
Devices with an Internal Battery:
Pictured Device: Eleaf iPower 80W 5000 mAh Mod
Devices that have an internal battery are slightly easier to travel with as it is only required to have the device powered off before going through security. The device must be kept in your carry on and be sure to not forget the correct power cord and any outlet adapters if necessary!
You have your e-juice, atomizer and device allocated for your trip! I'd say you are ready to fly!
Just to be sure we have covered everything and set you up for success here is a quick recap and some extra points that should keep your travels stress free.
Alright, time to relax… and have a vape.

Metal Detection Protects Food and Families
You just sat down to enjoy your Saturday breakfast – hot coffee, orange juice, toast, hash browns, sausage, and an egg-white omelet. Everything seems perfect until you take a bite of sausage. Something doesn't seem right. Instead of a burst of smoky flavor, you pull a metal fragment out of your mouth. You check the rest of your meal for metal scraps. You end up throwing away the rest of your breakfast, worried about how much metal you may have eaten without noticing. Finding metal contaminants in your food isn't only "annoying" and unappetizing. It also poses serious risks to your health, especially if ingested. This unfortunate scenario recently became a reality for a national breakfast food company, which resulted in a massive product recall. There is something that could've prevented this public relations nightmare – accurate and dependable metal detection! Metal detectors sense the presence of ferrous, nonferrous, and stainless metals in a process flow, or as a packaged item, and allows you to remove the contaminated product.
Bunting Magnetics Co. Offers Metal Detection Solutions for the Food Industry that Keep Products Safe for Consumers
In efforts of damage control, the breakfast food company tried hard to protect the brand, and attempted to assure customers of their commitment to safety. However, this incident will likely have a lingering impact on the company's reputation. This all could have been avoided if they had been using the proper magnetic and metal detection equipment on their processing line. Metal is the most common foreign material found in food products. This is why it's so important for companies to detect and remove these hazardous contaminants before the product is packed and shipped. When contaminated food reaches the open market, it can have devastating consequences for both the company and their customers.
Using the right magnetic applications and metal detectors (along with regular testing and maintenance) is the only way to keep food products pure and safe for consumers. Bunting metal detectors are used in food plants to ensure the purity of your product, while protecting your valuable machinery from damage. Having metal detection applications that can handle both fresh and frozen meats is crucial to the success of businesses in the food industry. Our Gravity Free-Fall Style Metal Detectors are perfect for applications in either horizontal or vertical installations where space is limited. Tunnel Style Metal Detectors are custom-made for the unique needs of your application. They are used for the final inspection before a product ships to the customer. Triple Frequency Controls detect a packaged food product in three different conditions, giving you the most accurate readings for the best product results possible.
For more information about which metal detection products are best for your application, please contact Bunting Magnetics Co. to speak with a sales representative. We look forward to hearing from you and discussing how our metal detection products can help your business succeed!
