In case you are a female traveling over night on company, be sure that the blouses and underthings you put on and convey might be laundered in the kitchen sink and put up up or blow-dried. Missed travel luggage and relationships can mean you arrive at a motel late at night, with simply the outfits on your back to put on the very next day. Lightweight, wrinkle-totally free polyester or microfiber blouses and tops could be washed and hung up, and will be free of moisture in the morning, as will your lingerie.
If you like traveling but have a persistent health issues, don't fret! Your traveling time are certainly not above. Just remember to vacation smart by getting all your needed health-related products and crisis details quickly reachable. You'll truly feel convenient departing house and be prepared for any urgent circumstance!
Make sure you recognize every one of the regulations from the location you will be visiting. Some laws might appear really odd to you, even so for the reason that area, that is the way it is actually. Disobeying laws and regulations in the particular region may cause some severe outcomes and you may get more of your punishment than you are ready for.
Well before arranging any holidays, perform some shopping around. Ensure you're receiving a good price on the airline flight and resort by looking at the rates of numerous sites. If you don't have to depart or profit from your trip upon an specific time, check out the price tag on a few days in the same 7 days. One may be more affordable.
When traveling overseas, it is essential to know what kinds of insurance plan credit card providers give you. As an example, will they cover a cancelled airline flight? Understand what super last minutes might have prior to going in your getaway.
If you have questions on the resort, a good time to get in touch with is approximately night. last minutes doing work the work desk almost certainly aren't hectic and should be able to give you their full consideration. In the event you phone through the day, almost certainly they've acquired men and women there face-to-face yet others phoning on the telephone to distract them.
When driving a car or getting a aircraft having a child, it is essential to have sufficient intriguing issues along with you to inhabit your young child during the lengthy journey. Look at taking coupled several of his favored perform points. Also, take into account collecting a new challenge. A brand new stuffed toy is more prone to maintain your child's attention than something they've viewed prior to.
If super last minutes are driving an unknown territory, you should check out testimonials of dining places and accommodations online. Having internet connection on the mobile phone, can be a truly beneficial issue when determining what motel to invest the night time in or where you should dine. It will help you steer clear of bad regions and local communities or suprisingly low graded dining places.
Tend not to buy clothes or shoes especially for the vacation with out using them initially! At times boots and clothes appear to be desirable for the getaway, but when they can fit awkwardly, you will not get pleasure from flying with individuals boots and clothes. Pick outfits and shoes and boots you are cozy sporting.
Few days journey does not have to improve too far from your home. Keeping from your residence for the weekend could be just what you need to feel great and rejuvenated. It is also an economical method to get a getaway without taking time off function or paying too much.
Take an across the door shoes organizer alongside when you're residing in a resort. Becoming an structured visitor inside a resort might be hard. There may be restricted cabinet, counter, and wardrobe space. Maintain your restroom basics, shoes, and accessories arranged and then in clean web site by placing them inside your shoes coordinator the instant you arrive.
With any luck , you will be now receiving a better notion of where you would like to journey to after reading this informative article. This article gives only a area of the info that's around concerning how to journey effectively.

"Transparent" Ed Pawlowski Still Won't Itemize $8k Election Day Fund
Was it really an election day slush fund?
According to commenter Sandra Walters Weiss, "I am almost ashamed to admit I am a registered Democrat after some of the outrageous things I have witnessed including pulling people off the streets in Allentown and paying them by headlight out of some slush fund ... ." One thing is certain, that's a lot of loose change to be carrying around on election day.
Before she retired, Voting Registrar Stacy Sterner directed Pawlowski to amend that report and identify the people being paid. To date, Pawlowski has failed to comply, notwithstanding two telephone calls from Acting Registrar Terri Harkins.
How much money went to LV Independent's Ryan O'Donnell, the very independent blogger who had already pocketed $2,930 for "consultant services?" Did campaign manager Michael Fleck keep a portion? Did Lisa Pawlowski decide that she was one of the canvassers and pay herself? How much went to SEIU or ACORN? Who was the bag man?
We know none of these things because King Edwin has been awfully slow to tell us.
This is pretty strange behavior from someone who has insisted his campaign finance reports are "totally transparent."
The truth is that this is the third time, in three years, that Hizzoner has run afoul of the Lehigh County Voting Registrar. In 2007, Hizzoner actually attempted to get away with using campaign funds to pay a $270 fine for a late report. Sterner ordered him to pay the fine out of his own pocket. In 2008, he was even more deceptive. He filed a bogus report, falsely claiming his coffers were empty, when he actually raised $101,599. He was ordered to amend that report, too.

Who cares.
At the end of the day, the Republicans in Lehigh County will not present a better candidate for this office for many, many, years to come.
Ed Pawlowski is the best option we have in Allentown, hands down.

Unless and until Mayor Pawlowski comes forward with an honest accounting of his $8,000 election day cash handouts, I'll assume he transferred the money from his donors straight into his own pocket. I believe Pawlowski would do this too. He obviously had the race in the bag and he's always griping about deserving more money.

the only thing "transparent" about pawlowski's election funding is that it stinks. For politicians with a local history, the kind of fundraising he has done is one thing. For politicians who made their first run for an office of such stature, he had to make deals to have the kind of success he has had.
Failing to fully account for $8,000 is just a small portion of what stinks about Pawlowski's campaign finances.

During the holiday season, you may be looking for ideas on how to give your horse a special treat to show your appreciation. One idea is treating your horse to a bran mash. We spoke with Dr. Luke Fallon from Hagyard Equine Medical Institute to find out more about bran mashes: why veterinarians recommend them and what ingredients are typically included in them.
Bran mashes act as a sort of "comfort food" that horses seem to enjoy when they are feeling under the weather or if it is cold outside. Fallon explained that bran mashes are often fed when a horse has been under stress from situations such as colic, illness, injury, shipping, or surgery. Broodmares are often fed bran mashes after foaling. "[Caregivers] will feed them for three to five days as the gastrointestinal tract adjusts to having more room in the abdominal cavity, as well as to help with the stress of foaling," Fallon said.
Frigid winter temperatures tend to discourage horses from drinking enough water, so a soupy bran mash can be beneficial. "If you are in a really cold environment and the horses are eating a lot of dry matter, such as hay, giving a bran mash is something to consider. When it gets really cold, they have a propensity to not want to drink as much water," Fallon said.
Fallon explained that one of the main points of feeding a bran mash is colonic emptying, or better hindgut motility after ingesta (food) exits the cecum. Fallon emphasized, "You are trying to ensure that you are getting plenty of moisture into the horse's gastrointestinal tract and that they have proper motility and stool formation. … Peristalsis, or the rhythmic, orchestrated contracting of the intestines, cannot function properly if the ingesta is too dry."
Fallon noted that a bran mash contains non-digestible fiber, such as wheat bran, rice bran, oat husks, and beet pulp. If you do use beet pulp, be sure to soak it thoroughly in warm water. "It is important to soak it before you feed it; don't just chuck it in the bucket," Fallon cautioned. "If you put a little water on it and feed it right away, it is almost like eating dehydrated fruit; you can create a problem with that."
Other ingredients may be added into the bran mash such as psyllium, another form of fiber, or Glauber's salt. "We do occasionally have people add Glauber's salt, which is sodium sulfate, and that will promote more retention of fluid in the gut so that the horses don't get impacted," Fallon said.
Most horses seem to enjoy eating a bran mash, but other additives can be included to improve the taste. Fallon noted that a small amount of apple cider vinegar can sweeten the taste of a bran mash. A stout beer, such as Guinness, is another appetizing ingredient with added benefits to support a healthy digestive tract. Bacteria, or microbes, in a horse's gastrointestinal tract must be balanced for them to digest food properly, and beer can help level out the bacteria if things have become unbalanced. "The beer also provides some calories in the form of carbohydrates, and, over time, it can change some of the gut flora," Fallon said. "You are feeding the microbes in the cecum. If the horse has been on antibiotics or again a stressful event that has maybe altered the gut flora, [the beer] can promote a bacterial or microbial balance in the cecum."
There are a few things to note if you are giving a bran mash. Since bran mashes are usually given during bouts of illness or stress, Fallon explained, "Generally, we do not do give them long term." He also pointed out that bran mashes are fed in conjunction with normal feedings, not in replacement of them. Lastly, Fallon pointed out, "You don't want to overdue something like Glauber's salt and make the stool too lose."
Whether a bran mash is given during extreme winter weather or a period of stress, your horse can remain hydrated and stay on track to living a healthy life.

Okay, so we all have our celebrity crushes.
For a 13-year-old singer, it may be Taylor Swift. For a 17-year-old basketball star, it may be Stephen Curry.
As for me, a 20-year-old graphic design student, my idol is Carolyn Sewell.
Before coming to Mason I did not have too many people I looked up to in this field, and the ones whose work I did get excited about were found in my history books. This all changed after taking typography last fall. We were given to complete a project in the style or inspired by an artist of our choice; but of course I couldn't decide.
My professor pointed me in the direction of a young, local designer whose work was something that fell right in line with my own. Carolyn Sewell is basically a master of all things doodle! She incorporates many fun and quirky elements into her art, and is most known for her hand-lettering pieces.
After the project, I continued to stay up-to-date on all things Sewell. I was amazed by her ability to stay true to her particular style of art; she made herself nationally known by just following her passions. She also lives by the inspiring words, "Do what you love, and fortune will follow", which I will live by for years to come.
Oh! And I actually got to meet her last semester when she spoke at an AIGA-Mason event.
Best. Day. EVER!

USCIS Resumes accepting DACA Renewal Applications
The decision affects thousands of young Indians who had been left in a lurch.
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced on Jan.13 that it has resumed accepting requests for renewing applications under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) or popularly known as Dreamers Act after a federal court order. The decision affects thousands of young Indians who had been left in a lurch.
The program will work the same as it did before it was rescinded on Sept.5, 2017, with the exception that those who have never before been granted deferred action under DACA can't apply.
According to a statement by USCIS, only the individuals who were previously granted deferred action under DACA may request renewal. USCIS will also not accept or approve advance parole requests from DACA recipients.
The statement added that those whose DACA expired on or after Sept.5 2016, can apply for its renewal. "If you previously received DACA and your DACA expired on or after Sept.5, 2016, you may still file your DACA request as a renewal request," said the statement.
On Jan.9, a federal judge in California temporarily stopped the withdrawal of DACA since the matter is under litigation. The judge said that the government must maintain the DACA program on a nationwide basis. Federal Judge William Alsup had ruled that DACA gave them a more tolerable set of choices, including joining the mainstream workforce. "Now, absent an injunction, they will slide back to the pre-DACA era and associated hardship," the judge added.
Multiple lawsuits had been filed against the government's decision to end the program. The statement from USCIS also said, "further, deferred action under DACA does not confer legal status upon an individual and may be terminated at any time, with or without a Notice of Intent to Terminate, at DHS's discretion."
According to South Asian Americans Leading Together (SAALT), a non-profit organization, a total of 5,500 Indians and Pakistanis are covered under DACA and an additional 17,000 from India are eligible for it. In total, 8,00,000 people will be affected by the decision, if the government decides to rescind the DACA program.
On Jan.9, US President Donald Trump had said that he wants a comprehensive overhaul of the immigration process. He sought a "clean" DACA bill paired with a legislation to construct the wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
"I think a clean DACA bill, to me, is a DACA bill, but we take care of the 800,000 people, but I think, to me, a clean bill is a bill of DACA, we take care of them, and we also take care of security," Trump said, reported Vox.
US President Trump took to the social media to criticize the democrats about not taking action to fix DACA.
The Democrats are all talk and no action. They are doing nothing to fix DACA. Great opportunity missed. Too bad!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 13, 2018

The Effects of Methylphenidate on Resource Allocation in the Mental Processing of ADD Children
Date of Award
Document Type
Degree Name
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
The effect of Methylphenidate (MPH) on the short-term memory scanning of boys with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) was examined from the perspectives of a linear stages model and a capacity model of information processing. A total of 36, six- to ten-year-old boys participated in three age- and IQ-matched groups. The boys with ADD were selected on the basis of a clinical diagnosis, meeting DSM-III criteria on the SNAP and a score of 15 or more on the Abbreviated Conners Rating Scale (ACRS). They received treatment with placebo and methylphenidate (MPH) for three weeks each in a double-blind, single crossover procedure that was counterbalanced with respect the order of treatment. Two comparison groups were comprised of boys who were normal achievers (NA) and boys who were reading disabled (RD) and who did not receive medication.
It was hypothesized that the administration of MPH to the boys with ADD would result in reductions in Sternberg reaction time and that this effect of medication would be restricted to the second half of the sessions. In partial support of the hypothesis, a significant effect of MPH administration on Sternberg reaction time was found in comparing reaction times obtained while the boys with ADD were receiving the active drug (MPH) with their reaction times at baseline. A similar drop in reaction from baseline was observed for boys with ADD who were administered placebo and for boys in the comparison groups after the first three week time period. This drop in reaction time was attributed to practice. The results of exploratory investigations using the additive factor method suggested that this practice effect involved an increased rate of serial comparison.
Other effects of MPH were found to occur as a significantly reduced reaction time in the MPH condition relative to the placebo condition and as an order of treatment or carry-over effect. The carry-over effect was seen as improved Sternberg reaction time in the placebo condition when it followed the MPH condition as opposed to when it preceded it.

Hydrocarbon Recovery
|Prof. Dr Theo Kortekaas (Heriot-Watt University, Netherlands)
|2 days
|Engineering – IOR/EOR
|10 CPD points
Course description
The course provides an in-depth insight into the physics of hydrocarbon recovery. It first deals with hydrocarbon fluid properties and phase behaviour characteristics. Next, the interaction between hydrocarbons and porous media is discussed and the concepts of capillary pressure and (relative permeabilities) are introduced, followed by a discussion on the interaction between viscous, capillary and gravity forces at work in a hydrocarbon reservoir. After analytical descriptions of the displacement of hydrocarbons by water the basics of reservoir simulation are introduced. Subsequently, the displacement of hydrocarbons by water in relatively simple models with increasing geological complexities is discussed together with the concept of capillary equilibrium and its impact on recovery efficiencies.
The contents of the course may vary a little depending on which region it is taught in.
Course objectives
With the currently available computing power it is now possible to model both highly complex geological environments and highly complex hydrocarbon recovery mechanisms. In view of the enormous amount of data in reservoir simulation models there is an increasing tendency to have an unlimited belief in model predictions and omit the necessary quality checks on fundamentals. This course is aimed to (re)gain an in-depth insight into the fundamentals of hydrocarbon recovery in relatively simple geological models.
Course outline
The total duration of the course is 2 days. The format is a mix of presentations, simple exercises and discussions. Timings are kept flexible to ensure adequate (re)gaining of in-depth insight into the fundamentals of hydrocarbon recovery.
The first day of the course starts with a presentation on the PVT properties of reservoir fluids and material balance calculations for depletion, gas-cap and waterdrives. Next the concepts of capillary pressure and (relative) permeability are introduced, followed by a discussion on the interactions between the capillary, viscous and gravity forces at work in a hydrocarbon reservoir. The last part of the day is devoted to analytical descriptions of the displacement of hydrocarbons by water in 1-Dimensional homogenous porous media.
The second day kicks off with a presentation on the basics of reservoir simulation and a discussion on water-oil displacement efficiency in 1,2 and 3-dimensional homogeneous models. This is followed by a presentation on the various types of geological heterogeneities in hydrocarbon reservoirs. The course then continues with introducing the concept of capillary equilibrium and demonstrating its impact on displacement characteristics in models with permeability variations both parallel (layered systems) and perpendicular to the direction of flow. Next there is an extensive discussion on the impact of cross bedding and blocky heterogeneities on water oil displacement efficiency, both on a cm-scale and at reservoir scale. A more general discussion with optional topics such as the impact of other geological complexities, the complexities of other recovery mechanisms, the use of reservoir simulation models and how to deal with uncertainty, will conclude the day.
It is possible to extend the course by one more day. In that case the schedule for the first two days is adapted to include more material and exercises. The last topics of the second day will then be shifted to the start of the third day. In addition in-depth discussions of hydrocarbon recovery in fractured carbonates and complexities of other recovery mechanisms will be added to the course.
Participants' profile
Geoscientists who wish to obtain a good insight into the fundamentals of hydrocarbon recovery and the impact of geological heterogeneities on displacement efficiencies and reservoir engineers who wish to refresh their basic understanding of hydrocarbon recovery.

Periods 1990s, Recent Releases
Locations Czech Republic, Prague
The first novel written by Booker finalist Tom McCarthy-acclaimed author of Remainder and C-Men in Space is set in a Central Europe rapidly fragmenting after the fall of communism. It follows an oddball cast-dissolute bohemians, political refugees, a football referee, a disorientated police agent, and a stranded astronaut-as they chase a stolen painting from Sofia to Prague and onward. Planting the themes that McCarthy's later works develop, here McCarthy questions the meaning of all kinds of space-physical, political, emotional, and metaphysical-as reflected in the characters' various disconnections. What emerges is a vision of humanity adrift in history, and a world in a state of disintegration.

Derek Jeter is taking on a new venture.
After his 20-season career with the New York Yankees, Jeter announced Wednesday that he's joining the media world with a digital publishing venture that will deliver athletes' unfiltered thoughts directly to fans.
The venture comes in the form of a website called The Players Tribune. The site will offer unique, straight from the source access to top athletes in every sport, cutting out the sports reporters in the middle. The website will offer exclusive videos, photos, podcasts and much more.
In a statement on the site on Wednesday, Jeter said the website will "transform how athletes and news-makers share information and bring fans closer than ever to the games they love."

Pelosi Endorses Senate Agreement on Medicare Buy-In as Part of Reform
On Thursday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) endorsed a plan the Senate is considering that would expand Medicare coverage to people ages 55 to 64, the Washington Post reports.
The proposal is being floated as part of an alternative to the public option.
She said, "There's certainly a great deal of appeal" in the idea, but she stopped short of endorsing the entire alternative proposal, which also calls for establishing a system of national health plans managed by the Office of Personnel Management and incorporating a trigger for a public option if private insurers do not comply with new regulations. She said she still would prefer the creation of a government-run public option, which the House reform bill (HR 3962) includes (Goldstein, Washington Post, 12/11).
Pelosi also said she hopes Congress can complete work on reform legislation before lawmakers leave for the holiday recess. She said that timeline depends on when the Senate passes its bill (HR 3590).
According to Pelosi, consolidating the bills should not be extremely difficult because the House and Senate bills are 75% "in harmony" (Boles, Wall Street Journal, 12/10).
She said that she would consider keeping the House in session for part of the week of Christmas if it meant that Congress could take final action on the bill in 2009 (Epstein, CQ Today, 12/10). However, Pelosi said she would not skip a formal conference committee on the Senate bill to achieve quicker results, which makes it unlikely the two chambers could finish their work before the end of the year, according to Roll Call (Newmyer, Roll Call, 12/10).
In that case, Pelosi said, the passage of an overhaul "will have to be a New Year's present to the American people" (Soraghan, The Hill, 12/10).

Young adult novel, "The Carrie Diaries" by "Sex and the City" author Candace Bushnell goes back in time to the 1980's, when our favorite New York City gal was seventeen, and not having sex in any city. A prequel, if you will. And if you have not heard of the "Sex and the City" series, then you clearly live under a rock or you're a hoarder. One of the two.
This book is for grade 9 and up, which is appropriate because the book does not include explicit sexual content, but I'd still recommend it for older teens. The "Sex and the City" books and HBO series are honestly even too mature for me. When the show was airing, we did not have HBO at my house so I was completely out of the loop. It wasn't until I was in my early twenties that I rented the series and watched it through. Ummm...I STILL didn't tell my mother I watched it. Yes, she's a prude, and you parents can make your own decisions about it, half of your teenagers watch the edited version of the shows on E! anyway, which doesn't leave much to the imagination. Just a little disclaimer.
Those of you who have read the books, watched the series and the movies are no doubt curious about Carrie Bradshaw before she was the Carrie Bradshaw. Before Mr. Big, before Aiden, even before Charlotte, Samantha and Miranda. Pure curiosity is what enticed me to pick up my copy.
Before you begin to read this novel, which I highly recommend by the way, you need to get your mind ready. Think 1980's, skinny teenage Carrie only beginning to spread her fashionista wings, she's a virgin and the oldest of three sisters. I did not peg adult Carrie for an oldest child, she has never appeared to be the mother hen type, which oldest children, especially girls, usually are. "The Carrie Diaries" is set during Carrie's senior year. She is hoping to be accepted into a summer writing program in New York, has applied to Brown and is the last of her friends to still have her virginity. When a new boy enters her school, you can clearly see the Carrie we all know and love. Questioning relationships, casually dating, becoming more independent from her childhood friends, smoking, drinking and doing what she does best, talking about sex; even when she's not having it.

The following is an article on using banker plants as an IPM strategy to control aphids in greenhouses from the University of Maryland.
Using Banker Plants in Greenhouses for Aphid Control
On greenhouse crops in general, the two most common species by far are the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae, and the melon aphid (also known as the cotton aphid), Aphis gossypii. Aphids feed by inserting their stylet mouthparts through plant tissue directly into the phloem and sucking on plant sap. Their feeding can cause plant stunting and leaf deformities. Large numbers of aphids can remove enough nutrients from a plant that its vigor is affected. The population may be small in January but will rapidly build as we move into mid-winter.
Under greenhouse conditions, aphids reproduce parthenogenically, that is, all insects present are females, and each female gives birth to more females without the need to mate. In the greenhouse, aphids are viviparous, wherein females do not lay eggs, but give birth to living nymphs. In fact, in some species, an unborn aphid already contains a complement of developing nymphs, a phenomenon known as paedogenesis.
Aphids can vary in their preference for host plants. We are finding aphids on Easter lily, pansy, and ranunculus at this time of year. These photos show the aphids and their cast skins clustered on the tip growth and at the base of the Easter lily stems. Note: By January 27, 2008 Easter lily shoots should be 15 inches long. It is recommended that the first Fascination application be made at this stage.
How about using banker plants as a way to biologically control aphids? Everyone is looking for ways to be sustainable and banker plants fit this mold. The idea behind banker plants is to grow a plant that you can infest with insect species that only feeds on the host (banker plant). These host specific insects will not move over to greenhouse ornamental crops. Once you have a good population of an insect species specific to the banker plant you can introduce your favorite parasite or parasitoid. Let the parasite or parasitoid lay eggs in or on the insects feeding on the banker plants. Using this method you are building up the population of beneficials and ending up with healthy, fresh parasites or parasitoids that emerge from the dead bodies (mummies) of the aphids and will then search throughout a greenhouse looking for aphids in your greenhouse growing area.
How we used banker plants We started barley seed purchased from a local farm supply store in 288 trays and then transplanted the seeding into six inch pots (three per pot). Banker plants (barley plugs with bird cherry oat aphids) were purchased from IPM Labs. Banker plant plugs cost $15 for a tray of 16. IPM Labs recommends that you apply 500 or less Aphidius colemani for every four banker plants. The wasps cost $24 for a container of 500. We ordered 1,500 Aphidius and released one container of 500 in each of the three treated bays.
Can you do this? Here are the steps for aphid control if you want to try
1. Determine your crops with the highest aphid pressure.
2. Purchase barley seed from your local farm supply store.
3. Start barley seedlings in 288 (or a similar size) plug trays.
4. Transplant three barley plugs into six inch pots.
5. Purchase banker plants from a beneficial supplier.
6. Plant one banker plant in the center of each pot.
7. Wait for bird cherry oat aphid populations to build.
8. Place four of the pots in each 10,000 square foot area.
9. Apply 500 or less Aphidius for every four banker plants.
10. Monitor your crops for both live and parasitized aphids.

Ok, I had burned and backed up a copy of Myst just in case I did in fact mess up the original... I lost it, actually. Or it was sold in a yard sale...
And when I try to run the backup Myst ME (the DVD-ROM one, by the way), it tells me I don't have the Myst CD in the drive.
Would anyone happen to know the volume label on an original disc for the DVD-ROM version of Myst ME?

If you're trying to run this from your burned 'backup' copy, the disk label is the least of your problems.
Now I have no idea what protection scheme Cyan used on the media, but most commercially pressed CD/DVD's use a copy protection method that includes specific 'bad' parts on the disk to indicate it is indeed genuine.
Ufortunately it is pretty much impossible for disk copying software to include this information in the copy, so your disk copy is probably useless without finding some way of circumventing the 'cd-check' part.
Considering you don't have the original media, I would suggest just buying it used off Amazon, or trying to find a copy in the bargain bin at your local computer store.

Recently after ATEEZ asked fans to vote for their Title song for their upcoming album release, they dropped a MV teaser for one of the choices to vote for 'Illusion', but they weren't done yet. They have now just dropped another MV teaser for their other choice 'Wave' and fans are going crazy!
As people thought 'Illusion' was the winner, 'Wave' wasn't too far behind, and the group will be releasing both MVs.
The MV for 'Wave' starts by showing a birds eye view of the beach panning down, then shows each member one by one as it starts to show them all having fun on the beach, skatepark and grocery store and ends with a back view of the members sitting in a line watching the sunset on the beach.
The full release will be at the same time as their other full MV release of 'Illusion' which will be on the 10th of June this year at 6pm KST! Check out the MV teaser to 'Wave' below:
What are your thoughts on ATEEZ 'Wave' MV teaser? Are you looking forward to the full release of both music videos? Let us know in the comments below!

by Curtis L. Isom – Founder / Editor-In-Chief
June 23-25, 2017 saw Exxxotica Chicago at its usual home in the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL. The 2017 show seemed to have fewer vendors compared to previous years which made the event seem smaller in size. At least the crowd attending that weekend didn't seem smaller. But even with some vendors missing, this didn't mean that there wasn't enough activity for those in attendance to enjoy. And what there was in missing vendors was made up for more than enough by the amount of adult talent present. There was also an increase in the number of web cammers for both MyFreeCams.com and Chaturbate. This year I wanted to make sure I got more photos of things like the seminars and the new entertainers that performed on the main stage. This isn't saying I didn't get some of my "usual fare" but I wanted to make sure I tried to convey what happens each year at Exxxotica Chicago.
So when I event opened on Friday, I went around doing my thing. It's always great seeing people I have become acquainted with while I'm in this business and making friends is always an added bonus. I've had people ask me "How do you talk to someone in the adult entertainment industry?" And my reply is always, "With respect." This is something you'll hear me mention from time to time – just because someone works in the sex industry doesn't mean they don't deserve to be treated with respect like anyone else. And believe me, you disrespect someone in my presence, if they don't deal with you, you bet I will. I'm not talking about anything physical, just a polite reminder about manners and respect.
One of ways you can get "your feet wet" in interacting with the adult talent is during the panel discussions where the audience gets to ask questions to the adult talent on the main stage. The panels are usually made up of women. Some times the crowd doesn't know where to start so I have a few questions to help "prime the pump" and get things going. Usually the panel discussions are ran by a male Exxxotica staff member, but this year the panel discussions were moderated by female Exxxotica staff member Tita who got married last year at Exxxotica Chicago. During the first panel discussion, I asked a question along the line of, "What is one of the most embarrassing things to happen to you while doing a scene?" During the first panel discussion we heard some pretty intense, and sometime borderline gross, stories. So when it came to the second panel discussion, the crowd again was silent so I asked the same question. But before any one of the ladies could answer, Tita pipes up and says, "I don't like that question because of what we heard the last time. So I'm going to ask a different question." Really? She didn't like what the an audience member had to ask? The questions I've heard asked during these panel discussions are well within what I'd call good taste. I understand she was moderating the panel, but this is where the fans get to interact with the adult performers. You want to encourage that. So to tell a member of the public, and a member of the media to boot, that their question isn't to the moderator's "standards" is not only rude, but makes people not want to participate. And this isn't the first time I've asked this question and most of the ladies who are acquainted with me know I'll come up with something interesting to ask to get the rest of the audience asking questions as well. This is how you get things done. I really don't care if Tita didn't like my question, it's the impression she gave the rest of the audience when she rejected it that's annoying. It was like telling everyone there, "If I don't like your question, we won't ask it." What a fucking great way to get people to NOT interact and leave the stage area. Which some of them did when she did this to me. And I could tell at least one of the ladies on the panel wasn't happy with Tita either. So Tita not only pissed off members of the audience, but raised the ire of an adult talent. Way to fucking moderate Tita.
But back to the rest of the show.
In covering the rest of the show, I was able to get both the preliminaries and finals of the Miss Exxxotica contest even though getting face shots of some of the ladies while they performed was difficult. Some of the other main stage performance highlights included: a burlesque performance by Carlotta Champagne, who has appeared in Playboy, and a light wand show by Puerto Rican Princess Zuma. Both shows certainly crowd pleasers. We were also treated to a show by JetSetting Jasmine and King Noire, who I met earlier in April 2017 at the Ebony Exotic Experience. If you have never seen these two in action, you're seriously missing out on something special. There was also a twerking contest held by Alexis Texas. Not only did this contest have a variety of backsides, but there was a male contestant who just blew the audience away and got into twerking more than some of the other contestants did. And if you look at the pictures, you'll see this guy isn't exactly your average size male. More power to him! I also got pictures from a few of the seminars which include: Evan Stone and Allie Haze, James Bartolet and Ron Jeremy, and JetSetting Jasmine and King Noire. If you ever attend an Exxxotica show, I highly recommend the seminars which give you another chance to interact with those in the adult entertainment industry.
One of the highlights of this year's show was a Wicked Ball match between the ladies of LA Direct Modeling and the female webcammers. Wicked Ball was at the 2016 Exxxotica Chicago and I hope it keeps coming back because it's just too much damn fun. If you haven't seen a Wicked Ball match, it's where two teams, each wearing a large inflated ball, play a game of soccer. It not only gives you an excellent workout, but it's a blast to watch and when done indoors you have to keep your eye on the ball to avoid getting hit. In this years match, the ladies of LA Direct won and if I had to pick a game MVP it would be Tori Black who has a competitive spirit like no other. The woman is just an animal.
But there was a bit of a let down at this year's show. Paige Little, a great friend in the industry and the first person I ever did an interview with, had come to the event to announce that she was retiring from the industry. Now I have met and known others who have since retired from the industry, but Paige Little is one of the most genuine people I have met and someone I know I can refer to if someone is wanting to get into the industry. Especially if there are interested in doing webcamming. I wish Paige and her husband, whose name I keep private, all the best in the next chapter of their lives. They will always have a place in my heart.
And that's where I think I'll end this. Not on a downer, but a great example of what respect can get you if you are patient in dealing with those in the adult entertainment industry. Not everyone I've met has become a good friend, most are acquaintances who still recognize me and greet me warmly. But the good friends I make, like Paige Little, are examples of what honesty and respect can achieve you. It's the same for life in general – honesty and respect can get you far. I recommend if you get the chance to attend an Exxxotica event, do so. It not only gives you a chance to see some of your favorite adult performers, get to know a little more about them, and maybe, just maybe, make yourself a new friend.
Anything is possible.
The photos from the 2016 Exxxotica Chicago can be found in the Event Photo section of the website. Enjoy!

Tim Misner (JD '20) of Chicago, Illinois, won the 47th annual George K. Walker Moot Court Competition final round on Thursday, April 5, 2018, in the Worrell Professional Center.
Misner argued in opposition of Tristan Meagher (JD '20), who was the other finalist in the competition. Meagher is a native of Baltimore, Maryland.
The final round showcases the top two first-year law students in the moot court competition. Arguing a fictitious tort claim, Misner represented claimant Colleen Crain and Meagher represented respondent Revere Academy.
The distinguished panel of judges included the Honorable Michael L. Robinson, Special Superior Court Judge, North Carolina Business Court; the Honorable Catherine Eagles, U.S. District Court Judge, Middle District of North Carolina; and Academic Dean Jonathan Cardi.
Leading up to the event, which is held each spring for first-year law students, students wrote a brief and argued twice, once "on-brief" and once "off-brief." After two weeks, 16 students were invited to join Moot Court, and competed in the following week in an elimination tournament leading up to the final round.
Misner was not the only student to take home an award. Distinctions for Best Brief, Best Oralist and the Debbie Parker Memorial Moot Court Service Award were also awarded. Meagher won Best Brief with Samuel Gilleran (JD '20) as the runner-up and Cassidy Webb (JD '20) won Best Oralist with Misner named runner-up. Brittany Wages (JD '18) and Ashley Barton (JD '18) were presented with the Debbie Parker Memorial Moot Court Service Award.
The 2017 Walker Moot Court Competition co-chairs were Barton, Wages, Daniel McClurg (JD '18), and Brooke Boutwell (JD '18). The Moot Court Board is made up of Chief Justice Emily Lagan (JD '18), Associate Chief Justice Vanessa Garrido (JD '18) and Marshall Kyle Mirabelli (JD '18).
For 46 years, the Wake Forest Moot Court Board has conducted a moot court competition for first-year law students. In 1998, the Moot Court Board named this competition the George K. Walker Moot Court Competition in honor of Professor Walker's long-standing support of the Wake Forest Moot Court program.
The Debbie Parker Moot Court Service Award is an honor granted to either a member of the Moot Court Board or a participant in the Walker Moot Court Competition who exemplifies throughout the competition a spirit of dedication and service to Wake Forest University School of Law, as well as compassion and cooperation with his or her fellow students.
The George K. Walker Moot Court Competition is the first chance for law students to join the Wake Forest Moot Court Board. It is a competition strictly for first-year students and works hand-in-hand with Wake Forest's Legal Analysis, Writing and Research (LAWR) program. The Walker Competition is held in the spring, once the first year students have finished their final LAWR II briefs.
Once in the competition, the competitors' scores are based on brief scores and oral argument scores. The competitors argue two appellate arguments, the first arguing the position of their Legal Research and Writing brief and the second of the opposing position. Moot Court members score each competitor's brief and both oral arguments. The final competitor score is based equally on the brief and oral argument score.
The top 16 competitors are invited to join the Moot Court Board. At its discretion, the board also takes honorable mention finishers who demonstrated exceptional writing or oral advocacy skills during the preliminary rounds. The 16 competitors then argue in elimination rounds, with the written brief score counting less in each round. The final competitor becomes the George K. Walker Moot Court champion. A list of the past winners is located on the Moot Court website.
This competition is named after Professor Walker, who founded the intramural moot court competitions at Wake Forest. Professor Walker also teaches Admiralty, Civil Procedure, Conflict of Laws, Federal Jurisdiction, International Law and National Security Law. He joined the Wake Forest law faculty in 1972 and was promoted to professor in 1977.

Gluten free beers
Following the introduction of Heathen being labelled as a gluten free beer at the end of last year, we are pleased to announce that we have expanded the use of the same gluten reducing process across more of our Brewers Emporium range, including for our lager, Heresy!
These beers are not produced without gluten containing ingredients, and do use barley and often wheat too, as can be seen on the ingredients list on our beer in can. However, we use an enzyme called Brewer's Clarex, which effectively reduces the gluten to below the 20ppm threshold required to label a product as gluten free, meaning it can be safe to drink for many of those amongst us who are sensitive to gluten.
Our cans that this applies to clearly display a declaration of the beer being gluten free on the label, and this information is also visible on our website. At the moment, we have taken the decision only to place this label on our beer in can, and so you will not see it on the pump clips for our cask and keg beer. This is because we cannot guarantee that the beer is being served through a gluten free line, which may affect certain customers (some pubs and bars may well dedicate a line to GF beers however, as does our pub The Devonshire Cat). We're keen to ensure that our drinkers are able to be fully informed about the processes our beer undergoes before it reaches the glass – as part of this, we're also more than happy to answer any questions you may have, so please do get in touch if you think there is anything we are missing!
The vast majority of beers labelled as gluten free that you see on bars and shelves of pubs and bottle shops around the country will have been produced in a similar way to that described above (hence, you will still see grains such as barley highlighted as allergens in our ingredients lists). Whilst there are gluten free beers available that have been brewed with no gluten containing ingredients, these are few and far between. The reason for this is that gluten free grains generally do not hold the same characteristics as those more commonly used in brewing, and so a wider change of process and a huge amount of investment would be needed for us to be able to utilise grains such as rice and sorghum effectively on a large scale. At the moment, this isn't a direction we are in a position to take, so we have looked at other ways that we can make our beers as accessible to as many people (over the age of 18 of course!) as possible. We are aware that this isn't a one-solution-fits-all scenario, but we hope to provide sufficient information to let you, the drinker, make an informed decision about our beers, and therefore hopefully enable more of you to enjoy them!

Fallen Woman by Stephie Walls
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Final Score - 5 Teary Eyed, I'm Over Emotional Now Stars!!!
This is not your typical single parent story line. It's raw, emotional, and in your face about the true lengths a mother will go to - not only to protect and provide for her children, but how far she's willing to compromise herself to do it. I respect the HELL outta that.
Gianna or Gia is a character that you not only respect, but you want the best for her and her kids. You want her to get the HEA that they all deserve. My heart broke reading about her story and what she had been through (a less than ideal start at life, her struggling to pull herself up from being another statistic, her seemingly fairy-tale ending 1st marriage). She's been thru and experienced a lot of heartache for one so young, but what I loved the most was that she did it while always put herself last (her wants/needs).
Jase at first glance left me with a weary feeling that was soon expelled and turned into great admiration. Yes, he came from wealth and didn't think much of it ... but then he never really had to. He always had it. Being the outsider looking into Gia's life and circumstances, he began to take notice and tried to help her. Granted, his solution wasn't the "best" solution, but he tried. And somehow, along the way, he fell hard - not only for Gia, but for her kids as well. That made my heart mush! *le sigh*
This book was an such an emotional read ... after reading it, I had to call my mom (who was a single mother while I was growing up) and just tell her how much I appreciated all that she sacrificed for me and my brothers.
This is my first book by this author and I look forward to reading more of her books in the future.

Hello and happy Saturday. I recently watched Moana because apparently I'd been living under a rock and had missed out on that wonderful production by Disney. Of course, I watched it with teacher eyes, which means I constantly thought about ways to incorporate this movie into my classes, or rather ways to plan a lesson that revolves around Moana. I think this movie is relevant in many aspects, which makes it perfect of teachers of any grade to work with.
As a preschool teacher, I immediately thought of how cool it would be to work on a whole science unit that revolves around Moana. The way it presents nature and the sea as this characters that are always there, and the way it shows the damage humans have done to them is so clear that I think it can get little kids to reflect about our environment and come up with ideas to save it. Obviously the movie is a whole metaphor, but it's a great one.
Now, I love the cultural aspect of this movie because it shows us that there are people who think and live different than us, and that Greek or Latin myths are just two examples of the way in which people thought about their origins. I'm already thinking how cool it would be to do a project on the whole Hawaiian and Polynesian cultures, or to encourage children to explore different groups of people, based on their mythology. I think one of the conclusions they'd reach is that we are not that different from one another, even if we have different lifestyles and belief systems.
Finally, for older students, I would work on female empowerment. I would encourage students to analyze the movie and look for examples where Moana was empowered and them some others that are a portrayal of sexism. I would have them think and write about how they think the story would've gone had the main character been a man, and just have them reflect on the importance of movies for young children portraying strong women as main characters, as opposed to princesses who became worthy by marrying a prince they'd just met.
I'm obviously writing all these ideas in the hopes of making them a reality one day, or inspiring someone to do so. I also made this movie study that's on my TpT store and you can check out by clicking here. I don't want to make any promises, but I'll try to make more movie and book studies and have them in my store.
What other movies should I make worksheets or activity sets for? Let me know!
Happy teaching!
Love, Miss Camila

Can You Use Someone Else's Character in Your Book?
Q: Can I use a minor yet intriguing character from a famous work as the protagonist of my novel? I know it's been done with novels like Wide Sargasso Sea, using Mrs. Rochester from Jane Eyre, but would a secondary character from a novel published before 1950 (yet still in print) also be allowed?—Anonymous
A: Characters are protected by copyright as long as they're original and well-defined—the traits that probably make them desirable to use in your own work.
"If a character has a distinctive name and well-defined personality—whether it's Harry Potter or his sidekicks Hermione Granger or Ron Weasley—they belong to the copyright holder, and you can't use them without permission," says our legal expert Amy Cook. "Character names can even become well-known enough to warrant trademark protection."
Now, just because you can't use someone else's work doesn't mean you can't be inspired by it. And if the character has a rather common name and isn't particularly fleshed out, she's up for grabs (e.g., a perky young college student named Jennifer who used to baby-sit the main character and doesn't play much of a role in the book).
One other avenue that authors are taking is "fan fiction." Fan fiction writers take characters and settings from other works and build their own stories around them and, generally, share them online for free. Technically, it's still copyright infringement. But some authors don't mind this and, in fact, are flattered—especially if it's not for profit. Some other creators, however, like horror author Anne Rice, simply won't stand for their characters and fantasy worlds to be used by others. It's going to depend on the litigiousness of the creator.
FUN NOTE: Bestselling authors Steve Berry, James Rollins and Brad Thor have been known to write each other's characters into their stories (then again, they are all friends). They talk about it here in this video.
Brian A. Klems is the online managing editor of Writer's Digest magazine.
Using Famous Names and Proper Nouns in Fiction
Q: In a work of fiction, what restrictions exist on using the names of professional sports teams, TV networks or real people (e.g., the Los Angeles Dodgers, FOX Network or Rupert Murdoch)?—Jeff Stanger
A: If your character is a Dodgers fan or loves watching FOX news or happens to walk past Rupert Murdoch on the street and notices that he's taller than he looks on television, you generally won't have Alan Dershowitz calling for your head. You can use these well-known proper names in your text as long as you don't intentionally try to harm that person's or product's reputation.
Normally you won't catch much grief for writing neutral or positive words about real people, places and things. It's the negative press you provide that could be considered trade libel or commercial disparagement—both ugly phrases that could cost you plenty of cash in a court of law.

(NOTE: When in doubt on anything it's best to contact an attorney that specializes on copyright law.)

Entertaining first shift as Toews gets a couple of great opportunities but Getzlaf and Hamhuis knock him off the puck, then it's Fleury's turn as he stones Pavelski on a breakaway. Bolts kill off the first powerplay opportunity of the series with Fleury denying a quality chance from Timonen. Ennis gets a breakaway midway thru the period but again it's Fleury shutting the door….followed immediately up by a breakaway for Big Buf and he beats Khudobin for the first goal of the series. On the ensuing shift Hossa fires a shot from the top of the circle that eludes Khudobin and it's 2-0 TB. A few minutes later Kopitar is the recipient of a sweet passing play by Carter and Hejda to extend the lead to 3-0. Fleury caps off his stellar opening 20 minutes by denying Robidas on a breakaway……3-0 TB after one despite being outshot 11-6.
Second period starts with a Voynov penalty and Patrick Sharp (moment of silence Hawks fans for the soon-to-be-departed core stud sniper…..thanks for the memories Sharpie…….ok thanks for the digression!) wastes no time banging in a one timer on the powerplay stretching the lead to 4-0. Bobby Ryan quickly quiets the raucous home crowd with an outside bomb to get the Yotes on the board. Teams start to go end to end with the goalies trading great saves, including Kopitar 1-14, Elias 1-13, and Byfuglien on a breakaway. Lupul sends an outside shot thru traffic that eludes Fleury and suddenly it's a 4-2 game heading to the 3rd period. Shots in the period 15-11 TB.
Yotes are feeling the momentum and carry it into the 3rd period peppering the Bolts but unable to score, then it's Chara connecting on a rebound to beat Khudobin to push the lead back to 5-2. Then it's the Fleury show for the next few shifts as he stones Pavelski on a 1-9, Pacioretty on 1-15 and GR inside chance but finally (for PHX fans) Ward beats him on a breakaway chance at 13:04. Yotes continue to push and Ryan gets his 2nd of the night at 18:04 to cut the lead to a single goal, but that's as close as they'd get as the Bolts hold on for a thrilling 5-4 victory in Game 1.
Games 3 stars……..3 – Sharp (1g,1a, 3 shots), 2 – Ryan (2g, 4 shots), 1 – Chara (gwg, 1a, 26:25 TOI). Fleury also strong with a plethora of breakaway saves and 6-7 on GR's but did give up 4 goals (3 via the number variety) to fall just shy of a star.
Bolts use another big first period, getting goals from Toews and Richards, then continue pepper Khudobin with quality chances all night (6 in the first period, 12 for the game). The Yotes open up the offense in the 3rd period but despite a furious finish can only trade goals (Sharp and Pavelski) and fall in Game 2 by a 3-1 final. 3 Stars…..3-Sharp (1g,1a, 5s hots), 2-Toews (1g,1a, 5 shots, 8-11 on faceoffs), 1-Fleury (1ga, 7-8 GR's)
Series heads to the desert…….
Tampa leads best of seven series 2-0.

Business Law and Ethical Behavior – Module 06 Case Studies
Instructions: Use the following case studies in the written assignment.
Case Study #1:
Jamie and Dustin both work part-time at the local lumber supply company. Dustin stepped down from his full time position of estimating and started working part time in a different department, working only on the weekends. The store manager asked why Dustin would want to leave such a great position after he helped Dustin out by giving him the spot in the first place. Dustin told the store manager that he planned on going back to school and wanted to devote his time doing that. Jamie overheard the whole conversation while he was standing not too far away. Later Jamie asked Dustin why he was stepping down, only to find out that he had taken another job estimating granite countertops and is only working weekends until he can collect his end of the year bonus check. The company would consider this a conflict of interest. What should Jamie do?
Case Study #2:
We all know that conducting personal business during work hours is a no-no, yet we all do it. Often times it is immediately seen as an ethical dilemma that should be avoided at all cost as it often times goes against the employees handbook or employment contract. But at what point is it considered an emergency type of situation and thus no longer ethical?
Diana is a receptionist at a law firm and she is tasked with handling incoming phone calls, incoming and outgoing mail and anyone who walks in through the front door. Diana's daughter, Michelle, is 13 years old and stayed home from school today because she was feeling slightly under the weather. Diana knew there was no food in the house but forgot to leave money for Michelle to order pizza for lunch. At roughly 1:45 Michelle called her mother, at work, to ask her to order a pizza with her credit card and have it sent to the house. Diana was not at lunch and was still on the clock. She hung up with her daughter, called the local pizza place and ordered her daughter a pizza to be sent to their home. During this time, no one called in on any of the three other lines they have, no one walked into the firm and no one needed her assistance. Was she ethically wrong? What would you have done? What would you do if you saw a co-worker engage in such actions? Caveat: Diana left for work at 6:30am this morning and will not arrive back home until a quarter to 8:00pm this evening.
Case Study #3:
You are walking through the hallway at work when you see a small clear sandwich bag with money totaling $85.00. There is no name on the bag, there are no offices on that floor and there are no cameras or further indication of whose money this may be. What do you do with the money?

For most of us, thinking about doing things without actually doing them uses up an enormous amount of our energy (often way more than it would take to just do the thing!). Life feels busier and more full (but not in the good way!) because we're constantly thinking about all of the things we "need" to do rather than being fully present with whatever's happening in the moment.
I once heard Nicole Harlow describe this as energy leaks and that's such a great visual. Whenever we're dwelling on or worrying about our to-do list, it's like there's little holes in our energy field, draining us and diminishing our enjoyment of our lives.
Just thinking about it this way has been hugely helpful for me because it helps me to be aware of where my energy is leaking and figure out what I can do to plug the leak.
After becoming a mama, I felt like my energy was constantly leaking in every direction. It can easily take weeks or months longer than I expect for me to get around to doing something.
I hate to admit that I actually took three months to respond to an email. An email that I thought about everyday. That I put off replying to because I wanted to sit down and give it the time and thought and attention it deserved. But in those early months of mamahood, such a thing just didn't exist. And so when I finally did write a response, nothing was going to seem adequate for all those months of silence and I still had to fire it off during a fleeting free moment. But in all those months of not replying, I'd wasted so much energy thinking about it and feeling guilty about the fact that I hadn't done so yet.
The thing is, life is so full these days that it's usually difficult to find the time to fit in a small load of hand washing or reorganizing the kitchen cupboards on top of everything else – even if it would make life easier in the long run.
But our energy is precious. And especially so during these sleep deprived, pushed to capacity days of new mamahood. So I decided to do what I could to plug up my energy leaks. I won't say I've cracked it completely but improvements have certainly been made. The strategies I've been using are simple, but I thought I'd share them with you in case they'll be helpful.
Keep a master to-do list.
It can be in your phone or in a paper planner, as long as you'll have it with you nearly all the time. As soon as you find yourself thinking about something that needs to be done, put it on the to-do list, unless you can…
Do it right away.
There are varying versions of the "if you can do it in 2-minutes", "if you can do it in 10-minutes" rule always bouncing around. Essentially, if it's possible to, just do the damn thing now. Otherwise you risk wasting all kinds of time thinking about doing it when it could just be done already.
Assign yourself energy leaks to plug on a regular basis.
I try to plug one small energy leak each day – and sometimes a few if it's my inner spring and summer. On the weekends I'll try to tackle bigger items from the list (and rope Matthew into helping if need be!) and during the week it's often just the smallest of things but I add them to my to-do list for the day and get 'em done.
Remind yourself that it's taken care of.
When I find my energy leaking because I'm thinking about something I need to do, I remind myself that it's on the list and that I'll take care of it when the time is right and then I take my thoughts in another direction.
Delete the unnecessary.
If I find that an item has stayed on the list for weeks and weeks I decide whether it's really something worth doing and if it is, I set myself a deadline to get it done.
These are really just some basic productivity tips that work for me but by thinking in terms of energy leaks it becomes easier for me to value my energy and prioritize protecting it in these ways.
Plus, as a new mama, our days can resemble a ball of string and getting even these small wins under our belts can go a long way for boosting confidence, self-esteem, and fulfillment.

A quick question about something gross
No blood, no problems, nothing, since then. Baby moving around like crazy. (Did I mention, I started feeling her kick last week?) Late this morning, there was a pinprick of red on my pantyliner. So, so tiny, literally a pinprick. I would not have even noticed it if I had been wearing dark-colored underwear and not a white pantyliner, and not examining said liner like a forensic pathologist. There was some bathroom action earlier in the morning, so I could definitely attribute the pinprick to that. Am I being too cavalier? Should I call now instead of waiting until my appointment next week? (Of course, if there's any more blood, in significant quantity, or any more mucus, I will OF COURSE go to the doctor right away.) What would you do?
