My project of a diversity festival brochure or pamphlet is meant to show that the strongest point I have learned from this course is the importance of sharing knowledge. The topics we have covered embarrassingly were met time and time again with students, including myself, lifting our shoulders in complete or partial ignorance of these events and their victims' stories. My brochure relates to the embodiment of my main takeaway, which is, that knowledge is what we can share, and it's what we stand to lose if we don't try. This pamphlet of a theoretical event is what I wish everyone could have, a chance to learn things that this class can't cover in its limitations of time, and relevancy in the system of learning it molds to fit. The criteria of learning aside from those that specialize in these topics, are not often shared aside from the Jewish Holocaust in World War II. I understand that American schools may not prioritize other nations issues, wars and politics within its borders, but that should not be an excuse for the creation of a norm of this kind of ignorance among America's youth and university students.
The unfortunate limitations of my brochure did not include a date, or location. With the rise of anti-Semitism, racism, gender related fears and a consensus of fear among the financial future, I did not think it would be right to believe in this event happening in the near future. I would love for ODU to be strong enough and confident enough to make this come true. However, knowing how tense a topic religion, gender/sexuality and race can be, I do not have the confidence in my school, at this time, that it would be able to fund and protect this project. For this event to take place it would require venue planning with security as one of highest levels of importance; for this reason alone, I know this event would not be safest met at the university where students reside and a large population of Norfolk residents work nearby. I would suggest a venue of a public library, especially Slover Library in Downtown Norfolk, although a large venue with many open doorways and passages, I am confident that security would be able to block off many pathways for a more controlled security of the location, but can also open all exits in case of an emergency. The Library would represent furthermore the knowledge I want to share in the form of the different panels with speakers from all topics to share their stories that are not yet old enough to be romanticized.
For the panels I want leaders or those studying to be leaders in their faiths to talk about them. I want figures from Islam to teach me and the audience the basic terms for what a Muslim calls their equivalents of a priest or rabbi or preacher, or nun. I admit I am ignorant in a lot of areas, including religious title terminology, sexual identification terminology and disabilities terminology. But I do not have to sit in ignorance, and neither do the potential audience of such an event. For this reason, I would also want speakers, whether they are published authors, or just someone that can speak their story or experience with their specific topic, I want this to be an event to share stories, heritage, obstacles and daily discriminations. How can the population of students be aware of cruelties going on in their country if no one shares?
I included a past topic that ODU has come to terms with and is now atoning for some of what they did. The Lambert's point mapping project is one started by the university to find and label the history of a neighborhood they once and still do, encroach on. I want ODU to be honest about their past, especially since 2030, which is ODU's 100thbirthday will be coming up. ODU needs to set an example as a school that once predominantly white, and took from the poorer neighborhoods, and ruined the dynamics of an entire community with their selfish plans. If a school can't talk about their past, and try to amend it, I would not want this event to happen with this school as a sponsor.
I understand ODU can't possible afford this type of event on its own, so further sponsoring would need to be done. The NAACP, The Institute for Religious Tolerance, Peace and Justice (IRTPJ), the National Women's Studies Association, and I could spent the rest of this paper listing organizations, but I won't. But I will say the hand that extends can only be met with air or a helping hand. This event would be a chance to reach out to a plethora of organizations that would jump at the opportunity to share a speaker, and share knowledge for the opportunity of a student or just one person to know about their organization and their work. This would be an opportunity for them to get to do the part of their job they love the most, helping the people they created their organizations for. They created an entire operational association or organization to be a resource, not as a tax right off.
I included at the bottom of the pamphlet the three most popular social media logos, to show that this event will have commentators and posts. This event could not exist in this century without technology, and so I've included it for the purpose of spreading the knowledge as far as it can possibly go. For study abroad students that may miss the event, filming (whether professional or on a cell phone) will help that student hear and learn, and potentially share with their family or friends even further away.
This event can be a reality, only if the money, security and care are given. Normally money is not included with caring, but in this world money needs to be spent on the man hours that would provide such a venue, and security. I want this to also be an opportunity to support the local businesses in any way possible. Foods from multiple culturally diverse restaurants in Norfolk could be provided for the use of sharing the cuisine of some of the cultures discussed in the festival. Yorgo's Bageldashery a local kosher certified shop that makes their own bagels, soups, wraps and sandwiches complete with vegan options would be a great addition as well as Mr. Shawarma which has Mediterranean food, again with vegan and kosher friendly ( I've often seen groups of Hasidic Jews crowd tables for their falafels). Pashe Mezza, which has traditional Turkish foods and a place on the peninsula called Saffron, offers Mediterranean food including rose petal tea. I would love to see these and hopefully many more at a festival like this. The tastes of these cultures would be a great way for even the least enthused person to learn about other cultures.
It would be a dream come true for this festival to be a reality, but I have to be realistic in the expectations for a university president. I understand his attention being on students and academics at the top, and this would not be an easy undertaking. I wish I could use the ODU Literary Festival as a piggyback for this project, but I know that this would be putting a target on ODU's doorstep. And the last thing I want is for ODU and all their students to become targets for the growing hatred, tension and divide that is currently ongoing in this country. I would be interested in starting this festival, but only if those that were interested in helping knew that this project could take upward of 3 years to plan and secure speakers, venue, and security. Unfortunately, as I have learned from this school so far, departments sometimes do not want to cooperate with each other, and want the credit all for their own. The creation of this event could span across the HGS, Jewish studies, World Languages and Culture, History, Religion, English, Women's Studies, I really don't know who all could help plan, but I do know emails will be confused and people won't have time. But at least, people should have the time to not be ignorant, even if that means taking one week out of their lives, to learn about people they share their world with.
Jackie is currently attending Old Dominion University attaining an English B.A. with a focus in creative writing. She is interested in topics related to the study of law, ethics, human rights and social norms.

Dion DiMucci, with and without the Belmonts, placed 28 songs on the American top 100 pop charts between 1958 and 1964. Such hits as "A Teenager In Love," "Where Or When," "The Wanderer," "Lovers Who Wander," "Ruby Baby," "Donna The Prima Donna," and the number one "Runaround Sue" were all catchy, memorable and helped to make him one of the stars of pre-Beatles rock 'n' roll era.
1968 found Dion reinventing himself as a quasi folk/pop singer. His quiet version of "Abraham, Martin and John" was a huge top five hit. It was a tribute song to Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, John Kennedy, plus Robert Kennedy and resonated with the Vietnam protest generation. It would be the last major hit of his career.
Dion was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989 and remains active today both as a Christian artist and a pop singer. As the fifties generation ages "Abraham, Martin, and John" has emerged as one of his most memorable performances.

Do You Want to Buy Some Supplements?
You want to stay in good health for sure and there are things you need to do. Hence, you do all your best to give time for yourself to relax. However, going to sleep is not the only means for you to relax so well. You should decide to eat the right foods and drink potable water as well. You should find time to check your health by seeing a doctor and conduct physical activities that will trim down some excess fats. You would surely like to take good foods this time. Nevertheless, you also need to accept the fact that a simple meal may never give you all the vitamins and minerals that you deserve. Hence, it is important to look for some awesome supplements this time.
It makes sense for you to simply do a research. When you check around, there are a lot of supplements that are being sold in the market. You need to remember that there are supplements with synthetic contents while others are simply natural. When using a certain brand, you will notice some side effects in your body and you would never love it if those things are bad to your health. It will be essential to choose reading some blogs and books because it will help you to determine the right product to order over the counter.
It is just wonderful for you to buy a supplement that is certainly complete. Most brands would tell you that they are complete but only a few of them are telling the truth. What you should do is to find some experts that would speak to you at heart. You will surely find it meaningful to know more of the prospect supplements if you wish to get information from the bureau. You need to speak with the people who are working in the bureau for they could tell you what vitamins and minerals you need to take. It is certain that they could offer you a brand which will never bring illness to your health.
What is good about consulting the experts is that you will have wise decision. You would never get lost if you are properly-informed about the kind of supplements to buy so you better ask help from the experts. Not all products in the market can bring you to a good shape so you better choose supplements that will make you healthy all the time. Knowing the price of the product is also an important thing to consider.

How to Choose the Best Home Workout
All somebody needs to do is switch on the TV or go to a local movie shop or and they will find literally hundreds of fitness programs available. Finding the right home workout plan can be a job that is challenging.
Among the most crucial things for anyone to know is that virtually any home workout plan works. The trick is that you in fact have to take action frequently. But even though any plan will work, maybe not every plan is right for every person, that's why there are lots of them to select from.
Knowing your aims is Step one in choosing the best home workout plan. By way of example, in the event that you are looking to lose weight, a plan with lots of cardiovascular fitness will probably be a great alternative. On the flip side, if toning is that which you're after, resistance training could be a much better option. Nevertheless, it's always a good idea to select a workout system that supplies a number of instruction types because both cardio and resistance training are necessary for the best outcomes.
Being aware of that which you love doing is certainly going to help you choose you the best home workout program. If your Friday nights are generally spent dancing, then a fitness system that combines the workout and dance movements is most likely a fit that is great. However, if coordination is not your best fit, something with resistance movements that are uncomplicated and light aerobic activity is probably going to be a better fit. Exercising must not be a drag if you take the time to select a program that intrigues and interests you, and it may be a lot of fun.
Before buying a home workout program research to see what the others thought of it. Read reviews on the web, check to see if you can find clips from the workout on a company website, and ask friends who have tried the workout. Find out what's on each one of the DVDs before you purchase them and ensure the sort of music used is something which appeals to you and the techniques being used are types you can fairly do or become fit enough to do.
Decide how long you have each day and how many days weekly that you can commit to getting in better shape. If if you have just got 15 minutes every day to set aside for fitness, try and select a good workout plan with briefer periods. However, should you discover a program you love with hour-long work outs and you only have half an hour a day to commit to fitness, it's likely to break each DVD into two days' worth of work out.

The Benefits of STD Testing
The latest scientific studies demonstrate that there are around 19 million new cases of STIs every year, half of them among 15-24-year-olds, and that 65 million Americans have at least one viral STI, normally genital herpes. A good number of STDs are treatable which means that the earlier they are determined, the earlier you can get treated and the less serious they will become. Many STDs are also symptomless which means that you could have one right now and not even realize it. STD testing is safe and easy. Getting tested is good for health, and can even save your life. Getting tested is something that you owe to yourself. Here are some of the most important benefits of STD testing.
The Process is Confidential
The process of STD testing is quick and the results are kept confidential. This makes it easy and embarrassment free to receive the data that is needed to make an informed decision. Furthermore, the testing is convenient, because all you must do is book your test online and visit the right testing center during office hours. The results are quick and can be even be given to you online or over the phone. Your personal details are protected under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) – the same privacy laws that all physicians in the United States must observe.
Prevent the Spread of Infection
Many health care providers tell you to have a routine screening test for certain STIs if you have a high risk for infection. As an example, you are at high risk if you are younger than 25 and sexually active, or if you have had more than one partner in the last year. Several STI tests are advisable for pregnant women whether or not they have a high risk for infection.
Some STIs don't bring about symptoms, or they can bring about symptoms that go away. Thus, unless you have a test, you may not be aware that you have an STI. STI testing can help detect an infection early. If you already know that you have an infection, you can get treated and avoid spreading the infection to others. When untreated, some STIs can result in more severe problems. For example, if a woman has an STI when she gives birth, her newborn may have the disease.
Receive Early Treatment
All types of STD testing is safe. This implies that they will not cause any risks or complications. Nevertheless, there is a probability of false-positive or false-negative results. Should a test produce positive results, the doctor will suggest further tests to affirm those results before discussing a treatment plan.

Top Benefits of a Chiropractor Therapy Today, chiropractor therapies are becoming more and more popular because of the many, many benefits that this therapy can provide and the many, many aches that it can heal. Chiropractor therapies are actually really amazing and they work really well. Today, we are going to show you the top benefits of what chiropractor therapy can provide you and a whole lot of people with. Because there is not just one benefit to chiropractor therapies but many, we can only look at a few benefits in this article. Let us now look at the benefits. 1. Chiropractor therapies can help you relieve stress. One of the main causes of physical and mental stress is because your entire muscular and skeletal systems are not properly positioned. When a person is stressed, his or her body will be really tired and how do you think they can handle mental stress? So if you are undergoing physical and mental stress, then you should really consider a chiropractor therapy. Chiropractors can properly position all your muscular and skeletal systems back together; then the tension in your body will be relieved and you won't be physically stressed anymore, and you can now manage your mental stress better. 2. Another really great benefit that chiropractor therapies can provide for you is that they can help you improve your posture. A miss aligned or a curved spinal cord can make you hunched and have a really bad postures. You can experience back problems if you do not treat your spinal cord curves immediately. Seeing a chiropractor will really benefit you because they know exactly how to treat these types of problems. No more back aches and stiff necks because with a chiropractor, your spine will be aligned and your postures will be fixed.
Finding Ways To Keep Up With Doctors
The last benefit that chiropractor therapies can give you is better sleep. Sleeping is very important for your body but if you can not sleep, this can be really dangerous. Pain and stress are some of the reasons why some people find it very hard to sleep at night. Try having a chiropractor therapy and see if they do not help you fall asleep better and more sound.
5 Key Takeaways on the Road to Dominating Services
These are just three of the top benefits of chiropractor therapies. Your mood, which is very important, can also be improved with chiropractor therapy. What are you waiting for, if you are one who has a miss aligned spinal cord or if you are one who are stressed very often, maybe you have a back ache or a neck ache and you do not know how to cure it or get rid of all the pain, just contact your nearest chiropractor and they can help you.…

I don't think much of Finnish mass-market beer, but Finland is still part of Europe and so you can get a wide range of good beers if you're paying attention, they just aren't the default. These fridges are from the pub the conference organizers went to for their after-party (to which I tagged along). Faced with such selection I was overwhelmed, and said to the barmaid "Look, I'll just have what the last guy ordered, okay?" She gave me the skeptical eyebrow and said "It is apple beer." and it sure was. Not apple cider, but beer with a strong added apple flavour something like Jones Green Apple Soda. But that was okay with me, because the point was I wanted to try something new and unfamiliar.

I have been warned not to try "cookie beer".

Schools That Thrive: New Podcast Series Hosted by MindBridge Partners Explores How Private Schools Can Grow and Succeed in Today's Demanding Market
In our latest podcast series, Schools That Thrive, MindBridge Partners CEO Esin Sile (pictured above) will interview school leaders and educational strategists about the best ways to for schools to grow and improve in the increasingly competitive private school market.
Don't try to be everything to everyone.
So says Jessica McWade, of McWade Group. McWade believes market research can help educators identify what's most important to their stakeholders (students and parents) so that schools can focus on their greatest assets instead of taking a more scattered approach.
Longtime educators may think they understand their market because they've been working in education for ten-plus years, but they can still be surprised by the results of market research, McWade explains.
In this first interview of a new podcast series hosted by Esin Sile, CEO of MindBridge Partners, McWade advocates strong leadership at the top of an organization to create an aspirational vision, establish realistic strategies, and cultivate and retain talent.
McWade also shares what Star Trek's Spock can teach us about technology adoption and how schools and leaders can "understand, communicate, prove, and live" their organizational vision.
"The prime directive is the student," says McWade.

fourth Friday bible class for our young people is this week. We have a new, big screen television with sermon

class to our young people Friday then to us all the first hour next Sunday. Pray for him as the Lord enables you.
Proverbs 13: 5: A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame
"He is
not here: for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay."
(Matthew 28:6)
does it mean for sinners like us to know that the Lord is risen? First of all it means, He died! The sinless
one died! Why did he die? How could he die? He died because the sin of His people was
pressed into Him, and He was judged before the throne of God for the sin that
He carried. The only way that the spotless, holy Lamb of God could die was by
bearing the sin of His people. So the
fact that He died means, that's exactly what He did! But The glorious
announcement continues…
He was laid in a tomb after suffering the
righteous judgment and punishment of God so that His people wouldn't have to,
but He is not still in that tomb! He is
risen! That means: the sin is gone, the
punishment is over, and God is satisfied! God the Father is satisfied with Christ, and
He is satisfied with us IN CHRIST! Every
bit of that happened, exactly as the Lord Jesus Christ said it would happen. Which means, the all knowing God is the very
One who saved us. And to all who's sins were put away in His death, burial, and
resurrection, He says: "Come! Come see
the place where I laid for you. Come unto Me and you will find rest for your
weary soul."
When the burden and guilt of our sin begins
to bring us down into utter despair,
let's remember the word that He sent to us
through His messenger: "He is not here:
for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay."
Pastor Gabe Stalnaker
Christ hung on the cross "from the sixth
hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. And about the
ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, eli, lama sabachthani?
That is to say, My God, my God, why hast
thou forsaken me." (Mat 27: 45-46; Mar 15: 33-34) The answer to this
question is the truth the devil abode not in; the truth for which he was cast
out of heaven; the truth he has raged against from then until now. It is because the answer to this question is
the very glory of God. Every word of
this question is important.
My God, My God—As Christ suffered being forsaken of God, he owned
God to be his God, manifesting his unwavering faith (Ps 22: 7-10). From his birth to his death, Christ lived in
uninterrupted holy obedience to God (Php 2:6-8). His is the faith by which the righteousness of
God is manifest and by which every believer is justified (Rom 3:21-22; Gal 2:
Why Hast—"Hast" is past tense. The work of redemption is finished (Heb 10:10-18). Christs fulfilled the law, justifying
his people, by laying down his life—one
time. Now, all who he justified must
(and shall) be called to faith by the Holy Spirit because the same
righteousness that demanded we be condemned, demands we be given eternal life.
Thou—The hiding of
the sun's light typified the curse of the second death that God made Christ bear
due to him bearing the sin of his people.
The condemnation of hell is "destruction
from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power" (2 Thess 1:9) Christ suffered that living death on the
cross as God removed the glory (the light) of his presence and power. Though Christ is the delight of God his Father,
showing his strict justice, God showed no respect of persons not even to his
Son. He hid the light of his countenance
from him. Christ's physical death was the exclamation
point, declaring he had accomplished dying the second death for his people so
that we never will.
Forsaken Me—Why did God forsake Christ on the cross? Christ, himself, declares the answer, "But thou art holy…But I am a worm, and no
man." (Ps 22: 3, 6) God forsook Christ because God is righteous. God forsook Christ to manifest he is the righteous
Judge (Gen 18: 25). The way God commanded
judges to judge is how God himself judges (2 Sam 23: 3; Deut 16: 18-20; 25: 1; Ex
23: 6; 1 Ki 8: 32; Pro 17: 15; 24: 23-26; Is 5: 20-24). God declares throughout his word that to make
his sinful people the righteousness of God, God had to make his spotless Lamb
sin for us (2 Cor 5:21; Is 53:6, 11; 1 Pet 2:24). It was the only way God could justly pour out the
wages of sin on our Substitute; the only way God could honor his law; the only
way God could justify his people. Oh,
that God would reveal the importance of this in our hearts! The answer to this cry is the very reason God
made the world, the very reason for the fall, the very reason Christ took flesh,
the very reason he was crucified, our very salvation—the righteousness of God (Rom 3: 25-26; 8: 33-34). God declares it on every page of his holy
word! His righteousness is the gospel by
which he births his children again of incorruptible seed! To declare his righteousness is the purpose for
which his church remains in this world. God's
righteousness is the gospel—"for
therein is the righteousness of God revealed" (Rom 1: 16-17). Take away God's righteousness manifest in
Christ on the cross, we have no gospel! Miss it, we miss salvation! But thank God, Christ shall reveal God's
righteousness in the heart of each of his redeemed!
Psalm 22: 24: For he hath not despised nor abhorred
the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but
when he cried unto him, he heard.
When Christ
finished the work of manifesting God's righteousness in the justification of
his people, God heard him. Therefore,
the Father raised Christ and gave him the glory of revealing his righteousness in
our hearts, the same as God gave him the glory of revealing God's righteousness
on the cross. So it is Christ, through
the preaching of the gospel of God's righteousness, through the Holy Spirit, that
reveals God's righteousness in our hearts.
He said, "I will declare thy name
unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee. Ye that
fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him,
all ye the seed of Israel." (vv22-24; Heb 2: 11-12). God truly has rewarded us double! The same Redeemer who justified us by manifesting
the righteousness of God on the cross is our Prophet who reveals the
righteousness of God in our hearts so that we experience being made righteous
through faith.
any wonder why we preach the glorious good news of the righteousness of God
continually? It is because the
righteousness of God is the message that Christ, himself, effectually makes his
church proclaim and the one message by which Christ makes his lost sheep to be
born of him. It is God's righteousness that
makes those newly born of God willing to unite and proclaim this good news with
us! How do we know this? It is what
Christ himself said he would accomplish in his people by declaring God's name through
the gospel, "A seed shall serve him; it
shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this" (Ps 22: 30-31).
Brethren, is not the righteousness of God great
comfort to you? Are you not thankful that
the LORD loveth righteous judgment? This
is all our salvation! The righteousness of
God that required Christ bear our sin is the righteousness that made the just
Judge forsake our Substitute by which Christ justified us on the cross. It is the righteousness that demanded we hear
the gospel and be given life. It is the
righteousness we heard preached by which we were born again. It is the righteousness by which we are
established and no weapon can harm us (Is 54:14-17). And it is the righteousness by which God
assures us that he shall never forsake us but shall preserve us forever—"For the LORD loveth judgment, and
forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved forever." (Ps 37: 28) This is why Christ's church
preaches the righteousness of God. It is
who our God is and it is all our salvation!

The hot summer nights can cause real problems when it comes to sleeping. A great thing would be if every one of us has an air condition. But, the air conditioner is not a cheap investment. So we offer you 6 simple tricks which will help you to sleep well and save money.
1. A pillow in the fridge
It sounds a bit strange, but it really works! We are always looking for the cold side of the pillow, so why we wouldn't have both of them?
2. A wet towel on the window
Put a wet towel on your opened window which during the hot nights will work as a natural air conditioner.
3. Ice cubes in front of the ventilator
Put a plate full of ice in front of the ventilator if you want to cool off the room before going to sleep.
4. Remove all sources of heat from the room
Remove your electronic devices from your bedroom because when they are charging they radiate and transmit unnecessary heat to you.
5. Cold bath tub for your feet
One cold bath will cool you off and will help you to easily fall asleep. This will strengthen the circulation toward this body part and they will warm up. It will provide a calming effect and relaxation for the entire body.
6. Wet socks
Wet socks will refresh you during the hot nights! Put the socks in the freezer and put them on. Enjoy!

Moving from Fragmentation to Wholeness
Working to create more wholeness and less fragmentation in our world we believe it is important to receive inspiration and new ideas about how we might do this, but just as important as knowledge and inspiration is connecting people with this shared intention.
As Beehive we are committed to strengthening our capacity to collaborate and converse more creatively and generativity.
Starting to see that we are part of purpose and a movement that is bigger than each of us. Bigger than each of our communities of Practice. With this in mind we are contributing to a field of practice and connecting practitioners across the world having conversations that matter and organizing in ways that nurture our relationships to ourselves, each other and the natural world around us.
To support the cultivation of this field we want to connect to the roots and the essence of our practices and connect to the evolution of our work. We are starting an exploration of :
- What are the founding stories of our different communities?
- What impulses and inspiration has driven the birthing, growth and evolution of this work?
- Why is it important to continue to nurture our understanding and practice of working and being together?
- What are the deeper underlying principles of this work?
- How are the different strands of this work interwoven?
- What's happening in this larger movement?
- What is my role in the evolution of this work?
We are opening the conversation as a rhythm of connecting as a larger community every 2 months.
Toke Møller and Juanita Brown will join us for our first call, where we will explore the origins of Art of Hosting and World Café and the relationship between the two over the years.
The calls are hosted by Amy and Rowan. We are inviting our elders and pioneers of these practices to share their journey and perspectives on how this has evolved.
First call took place Oct. 8th 2018.
Register for this course for free or offering a little gift back to the center to have access to the video and graphic recording of this call.
ONLINE! We will meet on Zoom learn together, exploring what these stories mean for us and how we step in to the evolution of these practices.
The calls with will recorded both as video and graphics, to be made available to anyone who registers for the course and subsequently to the wider field.
These calls are a gift to the community – you can join for free. And… if it's possible for you, we invite contributions that can help support this offering to our shared field of practice.
Come join us!

AJAX issues
Good morning,
I am currently carrying out a research project using kontakt.io devices. I need to use the API to retrieve device informations. I can get the informations from api.kontakt.io but not from ovs.kontakt.io. The request is valid but the JSON is empty. In order to make my test I make my requests using AJAX. Here is an example:
url: https://ovs.kontakt.io/presence?sourceId=LXWBF&startTimestamp=1523356756',
beforeSend: function(xhr) {
xhr.setRequestHeader("Api-Key", "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX");
xhr.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/vnd.com.kontakt+json; version=10")
}, success: function(data){
document.getElementById("json").innerHTML = JSON.stringify(data, undefined, 2);
3 comments
Hi, I am currently experiencing exactly the same issue. I only receive empty presence array when issuing a GET request to https://ovs.kontakt.io/presence.
As I am using the kontakt.io beacon infrastructure and the API for a time critical customer project I would greatly appreciate it, if someone from kontakt.io could clarify or fix the issue asap.
Do you have active Location Engine subscription for your beacons? I'm not a JavaScript developer, but I'm not seeing any error handling - are you sure that you're getting 200 OK response?
It would also be a good idea to make sure that your Gateways are configured properly - they should be connected to your WiFi and configured with the API key from the account they are assigned to, otherwise they won't be sending any data to Location Engine and that would explain lack of any items in the presence array of the returned JSON.0
Please sign in to leave a comment.

Don't Be The Type of Person Who Choses Oddjob.
Peer pressure isn't only about smoking. It's about teaching you to be a better person.
LesLites' Ranking: #4/100
My Rating:
The first two games I wanted to review for the N64 were Mario and GoldenEye, but for completely different reasons. Super Mario 64 was the first time I played a game in a true 3D environment. I was so shell shocked that I couldn't even figure out how to move Mario, smashing down on the analog D-pad while ignoring that round stick in the middle.
GoldenEye, however, is when my friends and I grew up. We weren't going around finding stars and collecting coins but unloading entire clips into polygonal bodies as they squirmed in dramatic death sequences. Cafeteria time was dedicated to discussing tactics while trash talking about death match: those who dared to play as Jaws revered while those who copped out as Oddjob were belittled.
It became a cultural revolution. Everyone was playing this game, even your little sister who didn't even know about Yoshi. And guess what: it's still amazing.

Making a point of piloting in every country I travel to became a hobby of mine in 2004. I have flown the skies of Canada, Australia, the US, Germany, Brazil and Austria…
My hobby is flying aircraft, and I have been doing so since August 1998. The majority of my flying has been in microlight aircraft, but I am busy converting to a private pilot's licence.
I travel abroad quite often and one day my mom asked me, "Why don't you fly in the countries that you are visiting?" I took her words to heart and I now fly in the different countries that I visit.
My first flight in a foreign country was in a Cirrus SRS, and took place in Canada on 11 October 2004 at King George Aviation Park next to Vancouver. I flew over the "mudflats" and a small bit of the Fraser river, looking at logs being floated down river to the various sawmills… (more)

Sleep hygiene – what is it and how to improve it?
The term 'Sleep hygiene' relates to sleep habits and their effect on the quality and quantity of sleep we obtain. Practising good sleep hygiene will improve an individual's daily productivity, quality of life and is important for both physical and mental health.
Our Fatigue Risk Management experts at Clockwork Research have put together a helpful list in preparing your daytime, evening and even bedroom environment to improve your sleep hygiene:
Daytime preparation
- Schedule social and domestic responsibilities to allow enough time for sleep.
- Try to get lots of light exposure during the day, particularly in the morning, to help improve daytime alertness and regulate the production of melatonin – the 'sleep' hormone – making it easier to fall asleep at night.
- If you have trouble getting to sleep at night, try avoiding daytime naps.
Evening preparation
- Avoid caffeine too close to bedtime, as it takes at least 4 hours for caffeine to stop having an alerting effect.
- Do some light exercise, such as light stretches or an evening walk but avoid strenuous exercise as this can interfere with sleep.
- Take a warm shower or bath.
- Don't go to bed too full or too hungry. If you are hungry, a light snack can help.
- Avoid alcohol as it causes disruption to later stages of sleep.
- Avoid nicotine, as this is a mild stimulant.
- Write a to-do list before you go to bed to help reduce worry about things you have to do the next day.
- Try practising mindfulness to help fall asleep more quickly. Try our sleep tips for help getting to sleep. Also, apps like Headspace and Buddhify are free and guide you through mindfulness exercises.
Preparing your bedroom
- Keep your room well ventilated and at a comfortable temperature.
- Block out light and noise using blackout blinds or an eye mask, and earplugs or a source of white noise (e.g. a fan).
- Make sure your bed and pillows are comfortable.
- Avoid blue light from screens, such as phones, tablets, TVs etc. before bed as it has an alerting effect. Ideally, turn these devices off at least 1 hour before bed or use night mode or lux, which filter out the blue light.
- Exclude computers and televisions from the bedroom can help lead you to naturally associate the room with sleep.
- If possible, establish a bedroom routine, including going to bed at the same time every night and waking up at the same time in the morning – the snooze button is not your friend! Try setting an alarm 30min before your bedtime to remind you to wind down and start preparing for bed.
- Set your bedtime to make sure that you can obtain your sleep need – if you know you need 7h of sleep a night, aim for at least 7h30m in bed to minimise the chances of sleep loss.
If you have on-going difficulty sleeping, or your partner says you snore loudly, or stop breathing in your sleep, these might be signs of a sleep disorder. In this case, it is best to seek advice from a medical professional. They can recommend varied investigations, and treatments, for example by referring you to a sleep clinic.

NFRC continued to burn the midnight oil as the Air Leakage Subcommittee focused on its business this evening.
Michael Thoman of Architectural Testing, Inc., chair of the subcommittee, opened the meeting, followed by a report from Chris Nolt of ProVia Door, Inc., on the Air Leakage Task Group's activities.
The subcommittee then turned its attention to the NFRC 400-2010 ballot review, which drew four negatives and two approved with comments.
Several motions were presented and approved by the subcommittee. It passed a motion that found Andersen Corporation's first negative comment on the ballot persuasive and substantive, sending it take back to Task Group to revise the language. The subcommittee addressed Andersen's second comment, regarding how reporting differences are to be reconciled, by passing a motion to find the negative substantive and persuasive and allow the report to follow the NAFS requirements if following the NAFS test method and follow NFRC 400 requirements if following the NFRC test method.
After the ballot's third negative comment was withdrawn, the subcommittee voted on its third motion of the evening: to find VELUX's negative persuasive and substantive and include language to allow the manufacturer to supply the largest production size if it is less than the minimum size of the NAFS table.
The subcommittee meeting concluded after it passed a motion to reaffirm NFRC 400-2004 as an interim document.

Sara wanted this note included because we recorded this pre-Brett Kavanuagh hearings [it's kind of a spoiler so feel free to read it after you've listened]:
In light of new info I want to change my ultimate answer, but I feel this accurately captures how I felt then. But wow, has the world ever moved on since we recorded this!
Got to go back work, but I'd be happy to have this go out with a note that says "Time's up Aziz, you lost me"

As a working actor in New York City, Logan Keeler is a very busy man. Days before his premiere in the medical drama, Men In White, Logan took time to sit down with Carpe Juvenis to discuss advice for those interested in acting, what he did to become a professional actor, and to explain how he prepares for roles. New York City is an exciting place to be an actor and participate in the theater, and Logan continually builds upon his experiences with each new role.
Thoughtful, kind, and knowledgeable in his craft, Logan is someone you will be inspired by and learn a lot from. When he's not taking walks in the park, rehearsing lines, or auditioning, you can find Logan on-stage in the rare revival of Men In White, which opened on November 8 and runs until November 24 in New York City.
Name: Logan Keeler
Age: 25
Education: B.A. in Theater and Film Studies from Connecticut College
Follow: The Seeing Place Theater | The William Esper Studio | Profile
Carpe Juvenis: How do you define 'Seizing Your Youth'?
Logan Keeler: I don't think youth is something that we have to lose. I think a lot of people are very much afraid of that. Adulthood means giving a lot of things up. I think perhaps it's the business that I'm in, youthful experiences is so coveted because that's where human beings want to live. I live in New York City and so many people are wrapped up in their jobs and have schedules and responsibilities.
Youth is really just appreciating very simple joys without critique. Seizing your youth would be more like retaining appreciation for smaller things. Just as you're a kid on the baseball field and not watching the game, just picking up the blades of grass, that's nothing that we have to lose, and that's something that I personally try to retain.
CJ: What did you major in at Connecticut College and how did you determine what to study?
LK: I majored in Theater and minored in Film Studies. A liberal arts college worked for me because I still wasn't quite sure what to do. I always liked acting and maybe started as an attention-getter or something so that explains the theater major. I went more on a whim and had very little plans but it gave me a chance to say, "Hate this, hate this- love this." If I went back, I would pick up the film major as well.
CJ: Did you study abroad? What was your big takeaway from studying abroad and do you think it was worth it?
LK: I studied abroad in London at the British American Drama Academy. I almost stayed in Connecticut at the Eugene O'Neill Center, which is a really good program for acting. It was only 15 minutes away, though, so I decided on London. It was great to get out and see another perspective. The British look at acting very differently and neither side of the pond is wrong. You can pick and choose which things you like. If anything, studying in Britain just solidified my interest in acting.
CJ: What or who inspired you to become an actor?
LK: It was very much a combination of my parents. I have three siblings and we all went in very different directions with our lives. We very well did not have to, but we were brought up by my mother and father who were very open to giving us opportunities to try something and hate something and then find something that sticks. I tried a whole bunch of things – swimming, soccer, sketching – I wanted to be, like every other 9-year-old at some point – an astronaut. Just personality-wise, I grew up with my mother's warmth and my dad's humor and just the combination of the two, once I discovered theater, was a way I didn't have to hide this weird personality. It's cliché, but it's mostly them and just the circumstances of life. Oh, and loving these old movies. Maybe it was West Side Story; that could have been it, too.
CJ: You were in the off-off Broadway production of MONEY – what was that experience like?
LK: That was last summer in 2012. It was fun to work in the big leagues. I worked with the same director at Connecticut College when we worked on You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, Gerald Moshel. He called me out of the blue, someone had dropped out, and I was a little reticent but I agreed to do it and I'm glad I did. Financially, it gave me the opportunity to leave my regular day-work for a little bit and focus. It's a fun show. No one really knows it so there wasn't the pressure to live up to what happened last time or to how a famous actor played the role. The play is cute, it's farce, it's all making fun of the upper class and bureaucracy and doctors.
CJ: You can next be seen in the production MEN IN WHITE, which opened November 8. How do you choose roles and how do you prepare for them?
LK: There's a lot of opportunity in this city. I don't want to put myself in a corner and say "I only do musical farces, or dramatic death scenes on CSI." I find opportunities that come along and I often just seize them because they are rare but if it is a question of "is this something I'm interested in," I try to find the challenge in it. Men in White is a beautifully written show, it's from the 1930s, and it's a hospital drama. The challenge is that it's a period piece and it's seeped in medical terminology. It has quite a legacy to go with it; we haven't seen it professionally in this city since it was done in 1933.
I stepped up to the plate with this role and it's the next project – you can only put your attention at one place at one time. This is where I've been putting my attention for the past month or so. We had a long rehearsal period. The play wraps up in December and then I continue on, and that's how it goes, unless I find that Broadway role and it runs a couple of years, but that's a bit down the road.
CJ: Do you have a pre-show ritual?
LK: It has morphed over the years. I borrow from people and I see what works. I am a very physical actor, I like to get loosened up and stretch. Otherwise that pre-show tension or any residual tension from the day – nerves, if you will, I'll just get locked up. I'm a big proponent for stretching. I'll find an empty room with my headphones and get my mind off of the audience. I like to be jocular and light but the last 15 minutes or so, that is for me.
CJ: How do you stay motivated on-stage night after night of performing?
LK: If the story is intriguing enough and you're invested in it, it's nothing you really have to worry about. When you see acting done really well on-stage, it's seamless and effortless. Similar to the movies, it feels like watching a scene for the first time, not the fifteenth take. It's a lot of hard work behind the scenes where I explore a lot of questions and details about what's happening with the character in the scene. The other characters are there, the problem is there, and you are there. Whatever happens happens, and it's a very scary thing to think about but you have to have faith that you and your cohorts have done the work. You and the actors are leaves floating down the stream, it should just carry you, and mistakes really only happen when you resist it.
CJ: What is one of the greatest lessons you have learned from being a working actor?
LK: It's not a business that is a means to an end, which is the big illusion of the industry, theater or film, regardless. I had a teacher in New York, Bill Esper, and he said, "If you're here to be star, you better stop right now." There are thousands of actors in the city, and many of them are very, very talented, and it's a one in a million chance to be Tom Cruise or Denzel Washington. And that is not to say that they didn't work hard, they worked very hard.
The big lesson is if you're in this business, you have to be a little crazy, there has to be a couple of screws loose. It's not like many other professions, where if you work hard you get promotions until you can retire. Just because you work hard doesn't mean you'll get a role you really want. You may. You may be perfect for the part. Or you may be too tall or "not the look". But that is not in your control, and you need to accept that. You do it for the art's sake because it fulfills you. In the meantime, you have to be certain that you're doing this for the love of it because if not, you'll go crazy in a bad way. It's not right for some people.
CJ: How do you overcome self-doubt and stage fright?
LK: There is a lot of doubt. That is one of my biggest struggles. Regardless of the profession, just moving out of the house and doing things by yourself. Let's face it, it's New York City, and there are thousands of actors. It is so easy to come out of an audition, to get turned down by something, it's so easy to give up and after being rejected so many times. And that's where the doubt creeps in – it's a seed. Things like doubt, jealousy, and hostility – these are all seeds that are monsters that feed off of themselves and they are a hard thing to stop.
It just comes down to the work. Because there's so much competition if you look outside yourself. If you look outside yourself, you see a thousand other actors in this concrete jungle that wants to eat you alive. That's what you see. If you look inside yourself, you have your goals, inner strength, and beauty. It's hard, and I escape by going to parks and finding serenity. It's a personal quest, and I don't know where it ends but if you can turn your fear into excitement, you can do it.
CJ: What advice do you have for youth who want to be professional actors/actresses?
LK: I would give a good amount of time to just experiment. Actor training is great to mix in self-exploration in general because you're working from yourself. Even if you find your calling elsewhere in the meantime, you're learning about yourself. I've learned so much through my acting studies just about how I react to different situations. I would take that time to study and to learn about yourself and dive in 100%. Worst case scenario is that acting doesn't really work for you but you're no worse for ware. Rather you're better off in the next path you take because you've taken the time to be introspective. Just as with other professions, but this one is particularly crazy, and the rewards are not so visible sometimes.
When you discover that seed of inspiration, seize it. There's no saying you can't try those things later, but at the moment, this is where your inspiration is, so go 110%. When you put in the work, that's when you'll find the rewards. There are a lot of actors in this city that don't put in the work and doubt can seep in, but it's good to fend those off. You have to go to the smallest little seed in your heart, and it's there under all the smog of the city and the howling voices of doubt, and that's the seed to listen to, because it can be very hard to hear it sometimes.
CJ: What does a day in your life look like?
LK: Each day is very different. I try to see each week as a balance between things. There are daily professional regimens, finding roles, looking for a new headshot, finding an agent, working on a website. You're the salesman and the product and that's a lot of work. When I have the opportunity, I block out time to work on the craft. It's as simple as stretching or time alone and meditation.
CJ: What activities were you involved in throughout high school and college? Were there any experiences that were most memorable or life changing?
LK: I had always done theater. I very much enjoyed and miss my acapella group in college. I did not have that opportunity in high school. As a puny freshman, it was a good home base. With little projects and that cheering band behind you, I loved the music and the rowdiness.
CJ: Who is your role model?
LK: There are many artists that I admire in different trades. Some for their refusal to stifle their personality, some for their ability to go full-on into a role and into a character that is unlike themselves, and some just for their hard work. Depending on what my focus is on the time, my mind will drift to one of them. I'm thinking of Matt Damon right now. It's cliché and he's a big name artist and he's one of the hottest actors out there. You hear a lot of stories of actors being discovered, that someone discovered a famous actor in the cereal section of the supermarket. That's so rare.
I hear about Matt Damon's story about him and Ben Affleck as teenagers taking the train down to New York on the weekend to audition. It was that dedication that is inspiring. I remember Matt Damon talking about going up to his teacher and asking him, "What is the secret? There's gotta be some sort of secret!" The teacher says "Just do the work, kid." Everyone is expecting a hand-me-down, and that's not to say there's not natural talent, but that's raw and needs to be molded.
We all have our shortcomings, we get in our heads, and some of us have stage fright or trouble memorizing. There are all different personal problems. In a business this big, you have 100 people auditioning for the same part, and you want to be cuddled but really, no one cares what your problem is. It is upon yourself to do the work and get over it. Matt Damon did the work, he wrote his own stuff, he did minor roles, and he had the vision to look 10 years down the road and work towards what has yet to happen.
CJ: What advice would you give your 20-year-old self?
LK: Get a haircut. Looking back on how I stuck to certain friends and interests, I would give the advice that there's less reward in safety. As nice as that feels, it can be scary to do that as a 20-year-old when you have your group of friends. When you're in high school and college and you see this looming graduation. A boat is safe in the harbor, but that's not what boats are for. I am beginning to take bigger risks to get bigger rewards, and I'm willing to make a little bit of a fool out of myself or take a chance at that if there's a chance at a good outcome. A friend once told me that "Even if fear is 100 feet tall and 100 feet wide, it's only paper thin." Take a chance and do something you wouldn't have dreamed yourself doing.

When one talks about the history of the Miss Cameroon competition, Julienne Honorine Ayissi (née Eyenga Fouda) is always mentioned as the very first winner of this beauty pageant. In reality, Chantal Ayissi's mother rather was Miss Independence 1960. After decades of dormancy for the beauty pageant at national level, the Miss Cameroon competition was only revived under this name in 2002. And since then, it has not been organised by the State but by Comité d'organisation Miss Cameroun (Comica – Miss Cameroon Organisation Committee) headed Ingrid Solange Amougou.
When Cameroon became independent in 1960; the then-Ministry of Culture organised a national beauty pageant. At 18 years, Julienne Ayissi Eyenga Fouda won the very first national sash. Before being crowned Miss Independence 1960, this former flight attendant was previously Star de beauté 1960 (Beauty Start 1960) and Miss Yaoundé 1960. Her career is proudly recounted by one of her sons, the famous dancer Ayissi Le duc.
The latter never forgets to highlight that his mother was born in 1942 and successively worked as a cabin crew and front desk attendant for the now-defunct airline Air Afrique and the national Cameroonian company Cameroon Airlines (Camair which has now become Camair-Co).

Police: Woman arrested after stabbing boyfriend in argument over bills
Detroit — A couple's argument over bills ended in a stabbing and an arrest early Wednesday morning on Detroit's west side, police said.
The stabbing took place about 2:40 a.m. on the 20000 block of Hubbell, said Latrice Crawford, a Detroit Police Department spokeswoman. That's south of West Eight Mile and east of the Lodge Freeway.
Police say that as the couple argued, things turned physical, and the suspect, a 32-year-old woman, stabbed her boyfriend, a 32-year-old man.
Medics took the victim to the hospital, but his condition was not immediately available.
Police arrested the woman at the scene.

Fans and interested onlookers have often observed that members of the Gungahlin Golden Sun Moths midfield (and defence, and forward line) "look like they're running in treacle".
After a catastrophic administrative error, it appears that the Moths (and their opponents) will actually be running on a mixture of sand and crushed gravel for at least their next three home matches.
The Moths engaged a local contractor, Mandlebaum Landscaping, to replace the existing couch grass surface at Harrison District Playing Field No.2 with a thicker ryegrass variety. The replacement surface promised a soft feel that would leave players, even those with sensitive skin, feeling clean and smooth all over (#cleanliving #blessed #influencer) after being slammed into the turf.
Unfortunately, the Moths accounting team misread the quote and proceeded on the belief that the subtotal for "turf removal" was, in fact, the total cost for the turf removal and replacement. The removal went ahead, but the club budget will not extend to cover the replacement until at least three games' worth of ticket receipts and concessions are received.
As it turns out, the removal of the existing grass revealed a base of gravel and assorted trash. It was determined the cheapest available material to slightly soften the abrasive and unsanitary surface was sand "liberated" from the famed brown beaches of Lake Burley Griffin's southern banks.
Commenting on the state of affairs after training on Tuesday, volunteer coach and part-time Bob Hawke impersonator, Warrel, said; "Obviously we're disappointed the lush putting green type surface we were shown in the brochure has turned into a bit of a moonscape.
"It was supposed to be the lawn equivalent of a moisturiser but it's in the category of a pretty harsh exfoliating scrub now. It's not particularly stable either. We had a run around on it this evening and you tend to spin your wheels any time you try to set off."
On a more positive note, Warrel went on to add; "It'll be the same for both teams – we're not necessarily the quickest team in the comp anyway, so maybe a bit of an ugly, congested contest in the sandpit will suit us.
"Anyway, it's not like it's any worse of a surface than Pixar Park or whatever they're calling Docklands these days," he added.
While it is true the surface will pose the same problem for both teams in the Moths next three home games (against the Googong Dugons, the Belconnen Breadwinners and the Manuka Honeybadgers), the potential for players to suffer injury or infection at training over that period will be a concern.
The spine of the team is already looking unsettled for this weekend after full forward Marcus 'The Flop Sweat' Taylor and centre-half back Clackers both suffered minor cuts, abrasions and gravel rash to over 90 per cent of their bodies during a short-lived tackling drill on Tuesday night.

I sometimes think survivors are mad! We readily help out with volunteer work and contribute hours to helping prevent others getting cancer, yet when I ask Cancer Research UK how much of their £600 million+ turnover last year went to help survivors, I was told there were no plans to do anything for us. Instead, they kindly said I could keep helping raise funds to prevent cancer. So I feel peeved!
Many of us with cancer now live for at least 10 years after diagnosis, up from a quarter in the 1970s. By 2030, the number of cancer survivors in the UK is predicted to double from two million to four million. So what did the Dept. Health do about our after-care? Said it was going to be taken away from hospitals, who knew how to deal with our problems, and 'given' to GPs. My NHS GP at the time proudly told me "I don't know anything about cancer"; and I've just spent 30 mins on the phone explaining to my current GP what is a DEXA Scan, what are its uses and why I need one. I shouldn't have to do this; a glance at my notes (if the GP understood them) should be more than enough.
With this in mind, a recent report has called for more effective integration between primary and specialist (hospital) care. Evidence from the US has shown that long-term cancer survivors who see both primary care doctors and oncologists are more likely to receive the full complement of care they need.
Jodie Moffat, Cancer Research UK's head of early diagnosis, said: "This report highlights a fundamental shift in how we think about cancer care".
So – what about it CRUK and all the other massive cancer charities? I am grateful that I am alive, but now would like to be able to stop 'fighting' and be able to consult with someone who understand what happens to us and why survivors have complex care needs. Not to stare in blank incomprehension when we ask for help handling symptoms. Until the 'big boys' acknowledge we deserve help, the funds I raise through readers buying skincare, etc. at Amazon on this website is going to smaller, more focussed charities:
- BOB Air Ambulance (currently raising money for this one), then it will be turn of
- Paul's Cancer Support Centre
- Trinity Hospice looking after many of us with long-term conditions
- Simpal that provides Sim Cards for phones whilst in hospital
They help in small, local ways, and don't employ CEOs on mega-salaries. They acknowledge we didn't ask for our long-term problems, but we do need help for many years after treatment.

Gurls, I am getting ready to head to Florida on Thursday. My Energizer Bunny Friend and I are going to drive, and it is going to be a loooong trip. Ask me why we decided to drive instead of fly. The answer is…I have NO idea why we chose to drive. Lol! The good thing about a long drive is that we will laugh and talk non-stop. It is hard to believe that three years ago EBF and I were only acquaintances, and now we talk once or twice a day. Lol! You have no idea who will walk into your life at any given time, and you have no idea when someone that you think will always be in your life will suddenly leave. Life is unpredictable, and you have to be able to weave and bob with the punches.
I will start the packing process today. I am going to take my tripod and camera with me so that I can take a few pictures while I am down there. That means that I have to make sure that I take shoes and jewelry that matches, plus I need to make sure that the outfits fit. I don't know about you, but my clothing can fit me one time and then for some unknown reason, it won't fit the next time. I blame the dryer when that happens because it couldn't be the fact that I ate everything in sight and ate a whole bag of jellybeans. Lol!
How cute is this garden-style top? I bought this last week at a local boutique, and I fell in love with the floral print. I liked the muted colors of this top because they feel so springy. Like the multi-colored earrings, you can wear this top with a lot of different things. When I went into my closet to try and find something to wear with my yellow pants, this was the first thing that I grabbed! It is by a brand called Phil Love.
I just bought these multi-colored fringe earrings at a local boutique last week, and I have already found so many ways to wear them. Shoot, these match everything, so the possibilities are endless. This type of earring would have been out of my comfort zone years ago. I would only wear a pair of small plain gold hoop earrings, and I never changed them. Day in and day out, I wore plain gold hoop earrings. There is nothing wrong with doing that if that makes you happy. But, I love my large and colorful earrings, and I am so glad that I decided to buy a pair. The first time that I wore a pair of big earrings, (they probably were only a 1/4 of the size of these) I felt like I had a neon sign pointing at my ears. But, no one besides me seemed even to notice that I was trying something new. Here is a news flash for you that took me a lifetime to figure out…nobody cares what you are doing, they are too worried about themselves. That is not a mean or a bad thing; it is human nature. So, if you feel like wearing gold hoops, go for it. But, if you want to wear a bright pink fringe earring, then wear them with confidence that you look fabulous. The bracelets that I chose are not as bright or as flashy. You only need one statement piece per outfit, and that would be my earrings today. The Ireland set is a bangle get of both silver and gold, and they measure 8.25 inches. The middle bracelet is the Lucille. I love this bracelet with the marbled cream stones. It is on an elastic cord, and that makes me love it all the more!
This buttercream pair of chino pants was a pair that I bought when I did my "try on" at GAP last week. I loved the soft yellow color, and I liked the relaxed style. The girlfriend style chino pant is relaxed, and I like it so much better than the boyfriend style. You know that I struggle with my weight, so wearing something that makes me look or feel "bigger" than I am is not what I want to wear. However, I do like the way that these pants look, so I am going to give them a chance. When I went to link to these pants on the GAP website they were not there. However, I did find other girlfriend styles for you to see.
These monogrammed Michael Kors shoes have become my spring and summer staple when it comes to shoes. I think that it is because they are so comfortable. I have a pair of walking shoes coming my way since my heel has been giving me a little issue. Plus, when I get back from Florida, I want to start walking and doing some exercising. I have become way too sedentary since I started blogging and it is time for that to change.
Did you know that I love self-development books and videos? The crazy thing is, I had never even read one self-development book three years ago. I don't know how I was able to survive without all of the encouragement that I get from these books and videos. I was listening to a new book that I purchased, (I use the Audible app) and it was talking about dreams. She said that even as a young child that she remembered dreaming elaborate dreams for herself. I laughed because I still do that all the time. When I am driving, I will find my mind wandering, and before I know it I have dreamed up something new and exciting for me to try to achieve. This is known as daydreaming, or maybe it is known as a goal. The difference is subtle. The daydream is a nice fantasy that you smile at and think, "that would be wonderful." But the goal is when you smile and think, "let's figure out how to make that happen." Do you still dream? Please don't quit dreaming and making a "stretch" goal for yourself. Life can be so much more, but we have to reach for that goal. So, I can't believe that I am going to put a dream of mine out into the Universe, but here goes…I want to appear in a national publicized magazine. That is a huge goal, especially since the bloggers who are chosen to appear in magazines usually have a different style than mine. The bloggers in these magazines are more Avant-Garde, or they wear the styles that you see on the Cat Walk. An everyday style that most women wear is not what they are looking for since you can see those styles by going to a mall and watching the people walk by. So, if I want my dream to become a reality, I had better start making some plans. And, believe it or not, I am working on this goal and trying to make it a reality. It might be appearing in AARP, but hey, that's a national magazine. Lol!!!
Put your dream on paper. If you are brave enough, leave your dream in the comments. We would all love to cheer for you! And, if you know of a magazine publisher, have them give me a call. Hahaha!

Not to be confused with the comic story "Ham".
Ham Gravy, also known as Harold Hamgravy, is a Thimble Theatre character created by E. C. Segar. Ham debuted in the first Thimble Theatre strip, dated December 19, 1919.
Ham Gravy was the original fiancee of the better-known character Olive Oyl, but was often attracted to other women, if they were sufficiently wealthy. Ham was depicted as a slacker who preferred getting rich quick rather than earning money honestly.
In a later strip, Castor Oyl hired the then-unknown sailor Popeye to man his ship for a voyage. As time passed, Ham was replaced by Popeye as the object of Olive's affections. Ham made occasional appearances in the Popeye strips, but never had the fame he once held.
Ham would star in a backup feature in early Popeye comic books by Bud Sagendorf.
Ham made a supporting appearance in the 1980 film, Popeye, where Olive has recently left Ham and has since begun dating Bluto at the film's opening. He was played by Bill Irwin.

Namco Bandai's upcoming RPG Code Vein was supposed to be out this September, but it has been delayed to 2019. According to an official Namco Bandai statement, the game was pushed back "to further refine its gameplay." Code Vein will be out on the PS4, Xbox One and Steam sometime next year.
The anime monster slaying game Code Vein will release on September 28th. It's a bit like Dark Souls if every character was from that Crunchyroll show your friend is watching and I'm totally okay with that.
Code Vein doubles-down on the vampire Dark Souls vibes in its latest trailer from Tokyo Game Show. Revealed in May and aiming for a 2018 release on Xbox One, PS4, and PC, the game features real-time action and medieval gas masks. It also all takes place in an apocalyptic wasteland for safe measure.
