Mitigate Financial Risk
How can you be sure that you're in total control of your supply chain budget?
Parcel and Freight Invoice Audit
Through a combination of error resolution, technology and data analysis, our audit experts can help you gain control and better manage risk associated with potential fraud, security and compliance.
Most shippers agree they uncover significant value by auditing their freight invoices, but because the process requires their accounting associates to sift through reams of data to find discrepancies, more companies are exploring alternative solutions. These audits commonly result in a savings of more than 2% of your total freight and parcel shipping expenses. And, auditing small package invoices with SOC 1 Type II compliance provides additional rigor, in-depth analysis and peace of mind.
International Compliance
As companies reach globally to expand their markets or sourcing channels, they must deal with import and export compliance challenges, making it imperative to initiate sound compliance practices. Complex rules in the international shipping landscape, along with a significant increase in U.S. Customs activity driven by the 2016 enactment of the Trade Facilitation and Enforcement Act, create significant risk exposure for importers and exporters.
With experts that have earned certification in Import and Export Compliance from The World Academy, Transportation Insight can help you minimize international import/export risks by performing an assessment of your international trade practices. This health check identifies lapses in process and documentation, and provides steps to alleviate your risk. To start the conversation with one of our certified international compliance experts, click here.
Accurate cost-to-serve and a cost-based pricing philosophy helps businesses ensure bottom-line profitability. Transportation Insight works with clients to develop and maintain accurate cost-to-serve metrics by modeling all activities in the supply chain network and accumulating and properly allocating fixed and variable costs. This accurate model can help you make decisions about which markets, customers and SKUs are contributing well to profitability and which are not. To learn more about cost-to-serve, click here.

More S.I.S. Dolls... New Gear... New Friends
Black dolls are my passion, my drug of choice. They renew my spirit!
11 comments:
Exciting news, Debbie! Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
I want Chandra and the Rocawear Trichelle. Darren looks a leetle, tiny bit different from Steven.
I do like the So in Style dolls, but I don't like the way they have been marketed as the first "black featured dolls." I think the dolls are good enough to stand on their own merits without usurping the positives of previous Black dolls by Mattel like the first Christies and the Shani line.ReplyDelete
I agree, D7ana. I don't need marketing games to entice me to buy dolls that are positively black.ReplyDelete
I glanced at the S.I.S dolls when I was purchasing my Princess Tiana dolls but I was in such a hurry that I didn't get a good look at them. I'm going to have to go and take a look see.ReplyDelete
Hugs - The S.I.S. dolls shown at the link I provided in this blog post have not been released yet. These are soon-to-be-released additions to the So In Style line that made its debut earlier this year. The earlier dolls (as shown at this link are probably the ones that you saw in the store.ReplyDelete
Oh I love the new additions, they are nice and The new outfits are cute too! Thanks for sharing Debbie!ReplyDelete
Ummmmm, yeah, I need all of them! LOL!ReplyDelete
I need them all, too... even goofy Darren.ReplyDelete
Okay, I looked at the link of the older ones too. You are right! But the problem is, now I want them all. LOLReplyDelete
Hugs, I have a similar problem.ReplyDelete
And I need to cut back. Sigh.
I think that I may need Darren.ReplyDelete

Kingsbury Middle School Teacher's Lounge Get a Facelift
We are so thankful for our adopted schools Shelby Oaks Elementary, Kingsbury Middle, and Kingsbury High School! One of the best ways our church is investing in our community and our local neighborhood is by loving and encouraging the teachers who have committed their professional lives to the young people in our community. Over Christmas break, some Sycamore View volunteers spent several days giving the KMS teachers lounge a facelift. The lounge went from a tired, cluttered, neglected area to a comfortable, more inviting space while the teachers were on holiday break. Our KMS friends were elated to come back and find artwork, fresh paint, and living room furniture in their teachers lounge. Our hope is that by encouraging local teachers, we are impacting the future of our 901 community!

So, if you are following over at the baby blog, we are sitting around the house waiting for a baby. And rebecca was watching gymnastics, and it ended. The Singing Bee has come on, and man, this show is lame.
I really don't watch any of these 'talent reality shows'. And I realize it is cyclic, and we are in the part of the cycle where people care about these shows. America's Got Talent, Singing Bee, So You Think You Can Dance, American Idol, etc etc etc are all popular, and I realize that people love them, but man, they are annoying. It doesn't help that many of them take more than one time slot a week.
I for one welcome the return of normal shows. I am sure it will happen in a few years when people get around to boredom.

Transcript (emphasis mine):
RACHEL MADDOW: Joining us now is Princeton University professor and MSNBC contributor Melissa Harris-Lacewell. Professor Harris-Lacewell, thank you for joining us.
MELISSA HARRIS-LACEWELL: Can we please have the whole hour, Rachel? This one is really -- there's a lot here.
MADDOW: I'm going to make my first question very short so you can just start. Huh? What do you -- what do you make of this, Melissa?
HARRIS-LACEWELL: Well, again, you've got really a lot of complicated things going on here. On the one hand, this kind of group of insurgent young women in the GOP who are doing something that, you know, scholars of women's politics would say is very unlikely. They are running with little experience, with little name recognition, against incumbents. I mean, this is precisely why we've said we don't have many women in national government. It's precisely because it is so hard to be a person of less experience running against an incumbent. So, on the one hand, there's this little tiny bit of me that want to cheer for the fact that you have women candidates willing to be sort of courageous enough to put themselves forward in this very tough political situation. On the other hand, let's be completely clear about the facts here. There is no place in the world and no time in history where restricting women's reproductive rights makes a people or a nation more free or more equal. These extreme positions on abortion are without any question a war on American girls and women. And the fact that there are women who are both complicit and participatory in it is really neither surprising nor unprecedented.
It has always been true and incredibly important that we recognize that despite the fact that we can be very proud of these women as women and as politicians, that the question is: how do women as citizens fare on the other side of them either elected or not elected?
MADDOW: We now have at least five Republican Senate candidates on the record espousing this view of no exceptions to a nationwide abortion ban, even in cases of rape or incest. This is -- the reason I say that I'm stunned by the not getting more attention, is this is unprecedented to have this many real anti-abortion radicals running for national offices at this high a level. But do you think that we got five of them, we got so many of them because that view is becoming mainstream in Republican politics or just because we just have extreme candidates running this year?
HARRIS-LACEWELL: You know, I don't have the evidence yet that this has become a mainstream view. What I suspect is actually that it has more to do with kind of our ignorance of our understanding about women's life experiences, even as women. When you talk about the rape and incest clause, I suspect that many Americans, maybe even many pro-choice Americans, think that rape and incest and pregnancy resulting from it is a pretty unusual occurrence. They suspect that, you know, that maybe there's a -- there's a few dozen women for whom that would make a difference in any given year. But the fact is that sexual assault is an embarrassingly common experience. I don't mean embarrassing for those who are victimized, but rather embarrassing that in our country, it's still true that one in four girls and women is likely to be sexually assaulted in their lifetime. And we know that particularly in cases of incest, the question of possible pregnancy -- because incest is often a repeated violation and one that does not often include protection -- that the possibility of pregnancy is very real. We're talking about hundreds of women, thousands of women in pregnancies. And, look, I'm from a people who really did experience the need to hold on to a God who would see them through difficult times, including generations of black women who in slavery were forced to bear the children of their rapists. And I do believe, because I'm a person of faith, in an interceding God that can help people through difficult circumstances. But I'm also an American who believes that the point of government isn't to make life so hard for half of our citizens that the only force there to help them is God. We, as a government and as a people, deserve and should do better.
MADDOW: Princeton University professor and MSNBC contributor, Melissa Harris-Lacewell, who didn't wirte what she just said right there. She just said it because she can do that. You're amazing. Melissa, thanks.

Design Diva's November Oldie Blog Hop
I made this card using a SU set Delicate Doilies. I was inspired by a card I saw HERE. This card uses a Technique Junkies Technique called Faux Designer Paper Too. The cardstock is SU Whisper White, and Red Pepper Columns and Gold.
The Design Diva's are a group of stampers on Facebook and we have a monthly Blog Hop using images that are greater than 6 months old. Our Title Acronym stands for: Divine, Inspirational, Virtuous, Artistic (or annointed) sistahs! Our group originated at SCS and has recently branched out to the new FB group.What a great challenge to use stamps that have taken a back seat......
The Blog Hop starts with Chrissy D and I am stop 9 of 11. The stop before me is Michelle and the NEXT stop is Sue.
I hope you are inspired to pull out a stamp or a digi image that is over 6 months old.
Thanks for stopping by!

Study Finds Phthalates, Key Additive in Vinyl, Are Contaminating Ants
I have written before that plastics don't belong in green building; one reason is that it may be an endocrine disruptor. It is mixed in to PVC to make it flexible, but is not chemically bound and can leach out. The threat is taken seriously enough that it is now banned from childrens' toys.
Now a new study has found that phthalates are turning up in significant quantities in ants, whether they are housed in Derek Zoolander's Center for Ants or in phthalate-free boxes. According to David Jolly in the New York Times Green Blog, Dr. Alain Lenoir found the chemical was everywhere.
All of the ants that he and his team studied were contaminated with phthalates, regardless of where the insects originated. For example, the chemical made up as much as 0.59 percent of the substances on the cuticles of ants that had just been collected in a field near Tours.
In another experiment, Dr. Lenoir's team kept the ants in the laboratory in an open plastic box that contained no phthalates. Nonetheless, the amount of the chemicals on the ants' cuticles actually increased – indicating that the phthalates were present in the air and stuck to the ants' cuticles. (The quantity of phthalates on the cuticles of ants in closed boxes did not increase).
Jolly concludes:
The long-term effects of phthalate contamination on ants is not known. But Dr. Lenoir said he had observed that the fecundity of queen ants appeared to decrease when phthalates were placed on their abdomens, and that he planned to investigate that idea further.
The Center for Disease Control continues to say:
Human health effects from exposure to low levels of phthalates are unknown. Some types of phthalates have affected the reproductive system of laboratory animals. More research is needed to assess the human health effects of exposure to phthalates.
TreeHugger has covered various reports that are a little less sanguine:
Phthalates Increase Risk of Type 2 Diabetes
Do Babies Exposed to Phthalates Have Smaller Penises?
Vinyl Flooring and Phthalates Linked to Autism in New Study
The data are not conclusive, but I still cannot understand why anyone would risk having it in their house if they have a choice. Vinyl does not belong in green building, for people or ants.

I had a great time working on this yoga article for the premier issue of Image, a new publication here in Silicon Valley that appeared last week, enclosed with The Daily News. In the article, I describe highlights from the Grand Opening of Be Yoga in Palo Alto, one of the areas hot (literally and figuratively) new yoga spots -- as well as explore trends in the rise of yoga in this area over the last ten years. I learned a lot writing the article, including the difference between ashtanga and asana, getting my updog /downdog straight (figuratively and literally), and learning that "hot" yoga doesn't always mean popular, but rather that the room is heated, for maximum effect --detoxification being one of them. Thanks so much for the folks at Image to give me the green light on the assignment, and to Lisa Haley and the team at Be Yoga for hosting such a wonderful day of classes, music, and snacks.
Now, onto the business of publishing...I realized when the article came out, that there are so many choices nowadays in sites to upload and share content --it's not just your blog or your website anymore. Not only that, but sharing your documents through social networks and on publishing sites is key to getting your brand noticed and heightening your online visibility.While I have a few favorites, I'm always interested in exploring more, as I find that each platform has its own unique features. Essential features to look for in any document upload platform are: ease of upload, sharing ability including links and e-mail features, viewing options, commenting options, and optimum graphics.
Here are a few sites I recommend you try out when you next have a document or e-book to upload and share:
- Your own blog and/or web site:
Sometimes, it's easy to forget that your website is home, and no matter where else you post your content, you must make sure it's at your home base first. I keep both a selected portfolio of articles, as well as an article archive by topic, on my main website at www.carriefreelance.com, in addition to posting links to published pieces here on my blog.
- Box.net:
I've been writing a lot about Box.net lately, mostly because I really like the user interface with this cloud software. It's my preferred site for uploading photos, and it's easy to create new folders, move or copy documents within folders, and take advantage of the Linked In function that allows viewers to view your Box.net Linked In folder. I have found this a great way to display not only photo highlights, but press clips, events, article publications, project galleries, and other types of content. The sharing option is great, with a new App that allows users to Share easily with Facebook, as well as provide links to email and share files.
- Googledocs:
By now, you're probably familiar with Googledocs as a handy file storage solution, for both photos and documents. I like to keep a backup of important files as well as published articles here as well. While the download can be a little slow if you have multiple documents and files, a basic account is free, and I like the convenience of having your files easily accessible on e-mail. Those of you who aren't editors may not realize that you can convert a file to an edit format in Googledocs, by selecting the editing function on the right-hand screen, avoiding the need to open Word. Cool!
- Docstoc:
I first discovered Doctsoc when I was looking for sites to upload Twitteration, my Twitter e-book that I published last year. This program has fast downloads and easy menus to follow, plus it has a cool Search feature that shows results from within your document for every term you type in. The program also has a new store features that allows users to purchase business documents -- books, and templates, from everything from business plans to nondisclosure agreements. A great reference and resource.
- Scribd:
I admit that I am partial to Scribd, not only because they have so optimized their sharing features that it isn't funny, but I actually had a chance to visit them during last year's Start Up Crawl, and not only was their staff totally fun and hospitable, but they served the coolest cupcakes ever -- little cakes on a stick, featuring their logo in light blue icing. (OK, that's not the point -- I'm hungry as I'm writing this.) The Scribd motto is to liberate the written word, and they're not kidding. You can easily log on and connect your documents with Facebook, and they offer a Readcast feature, which allows you to broadcast what you're reading on twitter and facebook. My only critique of Scribd is that I don't like the ads in the sidebar, and they need better category filters. I could not locate Health and Fitness, so I chose Magazines instead, but it wasn't my preferred category. With Docstoc, I found the Health and Fitness category with no problem.
- Ezine:
I haven't tried Ezine yet as far as uploading my own documents, but I have reviewed articles others have written on a wide variety of topics, and they were pretty good quality. A friend of mine and client recently mentioned to me that she had a rough time uploading her blog posts onto ezine, and that there were a lot of restrictive criteria, so she had to keep trying several times before the folks there gave her the go-ahead. If anyone has had an easier time of it as Ezine, please post a comment and share.
- Yudu:
This is an interesting site I just learned about recently, that allows you to easily self-publish e-books, articles, and other documents. It is free, but a Yudu Plus account, at about $160 a year, allows for video, audio, and flash upload options, as well as more variety in publishing options. Yudu has an interesting store feature that allows users to purchase business titles, consumer magazines, and more, similar to Scribd and Docstoc. Clearly, they are a British company, as all their pricing is in English pounds. Maybe the could be more buyer friendly for those of us in the US and convert their prices to dollars as well. I just tried out a quick upload of my article and strangely enough, this was the only program I've tried where the upload was not instant -- they e-mail you when the document is ready. This is a tad awkward, but the email came quickly. I was offered a link to my publication, but once I arrived, so to speak, I could not find a tool that would allow me to adjust the screen image to the width of my screen, and I had some difficulty navigating the document. There were also no visible social media sharing icons that I could find. Perhaps this program is intended more for magazines?
- Issuu:
This is a fun program I just discovered in doing research for this post. It only took me seconds to upload my article, and as was the case with Yudu, I had to type in my e-mail to be notified when the document was ready. Issue wants you to register before being able to access your file, and a screen prompt that follows urges you to contact friends via Yahoo, Plaxo, and Gmail. When I accessed my document, I was a bit surprised that the viewing options were limited to very small, or, Full Screen options, and I would have preferred a toggle tool so I could adjust the viewing. I was also surprised that for SEO purposes, I was not asked to Tag or filter by category any of the article content. The sharing features were the usual fare - Facebook, Twitter, and Buzz, with LinkedIn not connected, as was the case with all of the programs above. Linked In folks, you need to get in on these self-publishing sites.

René-Louis de Voyer de Paulmy, Marquis d'Argenson (18 October 1694 – 26 January 1757) was a French statesman.
D'Argenson, the eldest son of Marc-René de Voyer de Paulmy d'Argenson, was a lawyer, and held successively the posts of councillor at the parlement (1716), maître des requêtes (1718), councillor of state (1719), and intendant of justice, police and finance in Hainaut. During his five years' tenure of the last office he was mainly employed in provisioning the troops, who were suffering from the economic confusion resulting from John Law's system and the aftermath of the Mississippi Bubble.[1]
D'Argenson returned to court in 1724 to exercise his functions as councillor of state. At that time he had the reputation of being a conscientious man, but ill-adapted to intrigue, and was nicknamed "la bête". He entered into relations with the philosophers, and was won over to the ideas of reform. He was the friend of Voltaire, who had been a fellow-student of his at the Jesuit college Louis-le-Grand, and frequented the Club de l'Entresol, the history of which he wrote in his memoirs. It was then that he prepared his Considérations sur le gouvernement de la France, which was published posthumously by his son.[1]
D'Argenson was also the friend and counsellor of the minister Germain Louis Chauvelin. In May 1744 he was appointed member of the council of finance, and in November of the same year King Louis XV chose him as secretary of state for foreign affairs, his brother, Marc-Pierre, Comte d'Argenson, being at the same time secretary of state for war. France was at that time engaged in the War of the Austrian Succession, and the government had been placed by Louis XV virtually in the hands of the two brothers. The marquis d'Argenson endeavoured to reform the system of international relations. He dreamed of a "European Republic",[1] and wished to establish arbitration between nations in pursuance of the ideas of his friend the abbé de Saint-Pierre. But he failed to realize any part of his projects. The generals negotiated in opposition to his instructions; his colleagues laid the blame on him; the intrigues of the courtiers passed unnoticed by him; whilst the secret diplomacy of the king neutralized his initiative. He concluded the marriage of the Louis, the Dauphin to Maria, a daughter of King Augustus III of Poland, but was unable to prevent the election of the Francis, Grand-Duke of Tuscany as Holy Roman Emperor in 1745.[1]
On 10 January 1747 Louis XV thanked d'Argenson for his services. He then retired into private life, eschewed the court, associated with Voltaire, Condillac and d'Alembert, and spent his declining years in working at the Académie des Inscriptions, of which he was appointed president by the king in 1747, and revising his Mémoires. Voltaire, in one of his letters, declared him to be "the best citizen that had ever tasted the ministry".[1] He died on 26 January 1757.[1]
D'Argenson left a large number of manuscript works, of which his son, Marc Antoine René, Marquis de Paulmy, published the Considérations sur le gouvernement de France (Amsterdam, 1764) and Essais dans le goût de ceux de Montaigne (Amsterdam, 1785). The latter, which contains many useful biographical notes and portraits of his contemporaries, was republished in 1787 as Loisirs d'un ministre d'état. D'Argenson's most important work, however, is his Mémoires, covering in great detail the years 1725 to 1756, with an introductory part giving his recollections since the year 1696. They are, as they were intended to be, valuable "materials for the history of his time". There are two important editions, the first, with some letters, not elsewhere published, by the marquis d'Argenson, his great-grand-nephew (5 vols., Paris, 1857 et seq.); the second, more correct, but less complete, published by J. B. Rathery, for the Société de l'Histoire de France (9 vols., Paris, 1859 et seq.). The other works of the marquis d'Argenson, in MS., were destroyed in the fire at the Louvre library in 1871.[2]
D'Argenson married and had a son:

Last week, a teaser website for the second season of much-loved hacking drama Mr Robot went live to promote the show, but unfortunately it wasn't anywhere near as secure as lead character Elliot Alderson would surely have made it.
Not to worry though, a couple of computer-savvy fans of the show were on the case.
A white hat hacker by the name of Zemnmez -- who actually reported his find to Sam Esmail, the show's creator -- first discovered that whoismrrobot.com was vulnerable to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This could have allowed somebody not quite as nice as him to gobble up the Facebook data of anyone who did a quiz on the site.

Soon after, another hacker called corenumb found a way to perform a Blind SQL Injection, which allows data to be stolen from the website's database. Both flaws have now been patched, though probably not by Rami Malek himself. [Cnet]

Jennifer Grace creates -Adding sparkle.
After making this journal at the Gundy Spectacular, I've decided to attempt another glittery chipboard project.
Now the perfect photo.....
The David Jones windows.......Every year in Sydney,one of the big department stores decorate their windows with cute figures
When I saw this one, my layout idea started to form.
I have a MEMORY MAZE CHIPBOARD ladder which also has baskets.That made me think of trimming a tree. I misted it with brown.
On the same sheet were several sparkly shapes . I used glitter on those in red.
There was a tiny branch and 3 eggs left over so I glittered those.
Next I found the WEBSTER pages Christmas tree paper that I've been hoarding.
I've added the sparkly things on the tree to look like decorations and around the photo.
Adding the title and journaling and it is done!
The scanner strobed the photo slightly but you get the idea.
I've layered the red sparkly chipboard on the baskets.

"We're Not on the Other Side:" Social Complexity and the American Melting Pot in John Sayles's _Lone Star_
Elliott, Mandy
Degree LevelMasters
MetadataShow full item record
Although the dominant discussions with regard to John Sayles's Lone Star centre around the influence of the past on the present, there is little written concerning the ways in which the past as depicted in Frontera, the town in which the film is set, is treated in light of the American cultural discourse of the melting pot. As a town situated on the border between Mexico and Texas, Frontera is inherently multicultural. That said, there is a distinct naïvety presented in the film with regard to one's ability to cast off one's personal history and "start from scratch," which speaks to the influence of the melting pot mythology, and the way in which it can override the influence of cultural experience and discourse. This mythology, however, proves problematic in Lone Star, as Sayles acknowledges the importance of the influence of blood to one's self-realization as a part of the community. It seems clear that the discourse of the town follows the postcolonial imaginary of the American melting pot, and as such the town promotes itself as a unified whole. However, if individual and group histories are the keys to self-realization as Sayles seems to indicate, it follows that the community should embrace a heterogeneous multicultural model, rather than a homogeneous model based on the demands of the American melting pot. To that end, I examine the importance of personal history in Lone Star as a means of destabilizing the melting pot ideology. In doing so I discuss the possibilities of individual autonomy in light of what is presented in the film as a hyper-deterministic social and cultural context. This requires a look at the way in which communities built around differences actually function, and I use Manuel De Landa's philosophy of social complexity to elucidate the fallacy of seeing a society as a unified and homogeneous whole and promote the idea of various moving and interchangeable components within an overarching social structure. In viewing Frontera this way, the impossibility of starting from scratch is made apparent, as one's past is shown to be a necessary part of one's future.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Seamus Power birdied the final hole for a 5-under 65 and the St. Jude Classic lead Thursday, with Phil Mickelson, Steve Stricker and Brooks Koepka a stroke back on the crowded leaderboard.
Power had six birdies and a bogey. The Irishman went to No. 18 tied with seven others atop the leaderboard and took the lead himself with his second birdie over his final three holes.
Mickelson matched his best opening round in relation to par this season with a 66 that tied him with 10 others, including the 51-year-old Stricker, who qualified for the U.S. Open on Monday, and Koepka, who will defend his U.S. Open title next week at Shinnecock Hills.
Second-ranked Dustin Johnson was at 67 with Retief Goosen, Scott Stallings and seven others.

Since 1948, the YWCA has provided programs and services aimed towards enriching lives,
On July 15, 1946, Mrs. Howard Gorst was appointed chairperson of a provisional board to make a study of Kitsap County to determine if there was a need for a YWCA. She appointed committees and formed advisory groups to help her in this survey. The original membership drive brought in 1,200 members.
The Articles of Incorporation were signed on November 24, 1947. The officers and trustees were: President, Mrs. Howard Gorst, Vice-President, Mrs. Herbert Bodley, Mrs. Richard Decker, Mrs. Buel Gossett, Mrs. Vaun Allen, and Trustees: Mrs. Lewis Harris, Miss Nellie Harmen, Mrs. A.H. Marry, Mrs. William Miles, Mrs. Howard Thompson, Mrs. J. T. Walker, Mrs. Charles W. Ross Jr., Mrs. C.R. Smith, Mrs. Francis Black, Mrs. Mark Barr, Mary Carolyn Hyer, Mrs. Dorothy Samson, Mrs. Harold Baker, Mrs. Harold G. Lillehei, and Mrs. W.E. Marshall. The YWCA of Kitsap County received its National Charter on June 2, 1948. The first director of the YWCA of Kitsap County was Gladys M. Halloway.
Our first programs included a "store front" office which provided supportive services for military and civilian women. This facility was located on 2nd Street in downtown Bremerton and was staffed completely by volunteers. Another program was the Tri-Y Club for teens, which was held at Bremerton High School.
In 1978, the YWCA of Kitsap County opened the doors of the YWCA ALIVE (Alternatives to Living In a Violent Environment) Shelter Program in response to the needs of domestic violence victims and their children. The founders of that program were Carolyn Hershberger and Jean Kruse.
Currently, the YWCA of Kitsap County serves over 6,000 people annually, providing a "safety net" of supportive services for domestic violence survivors and their children. Our continuum of programs is designed to meet the emerging needs of our community, and effectively supports today's women, children, and families. Services include a 24-hr. domestic violence hotline, 17-bed domestic violence emergency shelter, supportive housing in Silverdale and Poulsbo, legal advocacy, housing and vocational counseling and other support services.

If you're looking for an innovative and very cool way to showcase something, we've got just the thing for you. It's called Holo, and it's the world's most advanced hologram player that you control with gestures.
That's right, just like your average touchscreen, you can pinch and swipe to control it. Instead of something happening on screen, the hologram reacts to your movements.
So far, so Tony Stark.
As you can see from the video below, you can swipe to rotate a heart made of roses, then pinch to break it apart.
Holo from Beagle Media on Vimeo.
Holo is designed by luxury furniture maker Conran, which explains its minimalist styling. The pared-down design is functional as well as looking very nice – it means the hologram is the focal point. Which is good news for whatever you want to showcase.
Your object appears in the middle of a clear diamond, ready for you to control by waving your hands. You can choose controls from a menu that includes spin, enlarge, and adapt details like product configurations and floor plans.
The controls are bespoke – get in touch with the people behind it if you'd like to make your own.
Each Holo is handmade in the UK using the finest quality materials including wafer-thin German-engineered glass, brushed aluminium, and chrome bars.
As well as showing off products, Holo can create life-like 3D models of people. So you could have Steve Jobs deliver a keynote, say.
It's more of a tool for business, marketing and professional folk than a consumer product. But it is very cool indeed and if your pockets are deep enough, you can have one of your very own.

Complete our Salary Survey and Win a Wage!
If you want to work for yourself, there are a few options. You could start a home industry where you operate from your own house. Or you could buy an existing business and run it yourself. Here are a few variations:
Part Time Business
You don't immediately have to stop working at your current place of employment. If you can make the time, then starting your own business on a part time basis is a good way to test the waters. You just need to make sure it does not impact on your full time work.
- You can find out if you are really suited for the work, without losing the financial stability of your full-time job
- You can use your current salary to finance your new work
- It can bring in an extra source of income
- There is less pressure to succeed fast
- You can afford to make a few mistakes without a disaster
- You still keep your benefits, such as a pension plan and medical aid
Working from Home
If you are thinking of work that can be done from your own home, there are various factors to consider. There are many positive aspects. But you need to be aware of legal and other issues as well.
The advantages include no commuting expenses, having more time with your family, and being able to work at any hour. The disadvantages include feeling isolated, and having to spend money on setting up your home office or operation.
What you need to think about:
- Do you have the space in your home?
- Can you make it a professional work space?
- Can you install your own telephone line, if needed?
- Can you keep children/family away if you need to deal professionally with clients?
- Is it legal in your area? Find out from your homeowners association, which may prevent the operation of a home business, depending on what your line of work is
Your own business
There are many pros and cons to starting your own business. But keep in mind, it is a tough job. In South Africa, independent businesses have limited access to funding. And around 70% of businesses fail over a period of ten years. But if you succeed, you will be your own boss, you can set your own salary, and you will have the opportunity to make serious money.
Buying a business
Although it may initially require a large output of cash, buying an existing business is actually one of the safest investments you can make. As long as you know what you are buying! The advantages include being able to immediately access a salary, and providing a form of security. It is important to know something about the business you are buying, however – don't invest in a horse-riding centre if you know nothing about horses! Or buy a car dealership if you have no interest in motors.

Client: Arts Council, England
Brief: Sunday School was an independent art project commissioned and supported by the Arts Council England. DAM PROJECTS is a curatorial collective founded by Daniella Rose King, Amanprit Sandhu and Morgan Quaintance. Inclusive and anti-elitist, the collective use temporary exhibitions and events to support emerging, underexposed and unorthodox artists, art scenes, discourses and debates. In collaboration with DAM PROJECTS and their first project Sunday School, a 12 one-day exhibition series featuring 6 solo shows from recent UK art school graduates and 6 exhibitions looking at emerging international art scenes, Anomalous Visuals produced a set of documentaries titled Letter From… that focused on a selection of featured cities and the creatives that are fuelling them.
Response: Using simple camera set up's and interviews with artists directly prevalent to the featured cities, Anomalous Visuals filmed in New Orleans-America, Derry-Ireland and Cape Town-South Africa. Each city had its own challenges to overcome in terms of filming and developing an aesthetic, working with locals in the area and getting artists to discuss there work in context to the project. Alongside the documentary production, Anomalous Space was used by DAM PROJECTS for the year long Sunday School series.
Results: The documentaries and one day events were well received within the London art scene with the films used as additional promotion for the project and curators from DAM Projects to secure further art funding.

This marriage was supposed to be another business deal. My latest investment, a means to an end… I need an heir. Which means I want her belly swollen with my child before the year is out.
She was supposed to be my perfect little bride. Quiet. Uncomplicated. Unemotional.
I didn't foresee the stunning firecracker who tumbled into my life and woke things in me I thought were long dead. I didn't count on her turning my world upside down.
And I definitely didn't plan on falling for this beauty.
This marriage was supposed to be my sacrifice. A way to save my father, a means to an end… I need to remain childless. So I can exit the contract at the end of the year.
He was supposed to be a boring old man. Distant. Uncomplicated. Passionless.
I didn't foresee the rude, arrogant and beautiful brute who made my body react like fire and smoke. I didn't count on there being more underneath his gruff exterior.
And I'm definitely not supposed to fall in love with the beast.
This is a NEW story using old characters from the unpublished novel, Girl Wife Prisoner. This version has no Keir, no cheating and a Happily Ever After. Although this book is part of a series, it is a standalone novel.
In life we must either be the water or the rock. Up until now I had accepted that I was water, allowing myself to fit the container. I was placed in, allowing myself to bend around the obstacles in my path. by Noriko
Noriko was the eldest daughter, the one responsible for her family. When her family needs her, she goes all out and make the ultimate sacrifice for them. She has a plan, so she doesn't have to be stuck in a bad place forever. But usually, even the best laid plans can go askew.
Drake has become a statistic. A workaholic that needs to slow down, or his health won't hold it. He decides he needs an heir and go through unconventional ways to get it. He is looking for a demure, bendable wife. He doesn't get what he wants, but what he needs.
Could they find love with such unsettle plans? Could they get over adversity and find truth within themselves?
- Cover: Amazing cover! It is sexy and fun! We can see he is a hot, business man. The title also implies he will get a bride. I like how the colors were used in the art work.
- Plot: Ms. Blake has created a cohesive plot with no weak points in which everything is relevant to the story. The story is long, but we don't feel it. It keeps you guessing and wanting more in the end.
- Characters: Both main characters are multi-dimensional and complex. They both have so many things to overcome. Noriko is young and impulsive; Drake brings so much baggage from his past that he has a long path towards love. Even though, they both annoyed me sometimes, they have taken me into an emotional roller-coaster.
- Heat: The couple's chemistry is great and there are many great scenes of smut. The author incorporates this well into the story and every scene has a reason to be there.
- Freshness: This is a unique story. Different than most I have read out there.
- Addictiveness: Even though it was a long book, I have read it in half a day. Amazing flow!
- Characters: Even though they are great characters I have to point something that has bothered me sometimes. Both characters presented profound wisdom and sometimes very immature actions. If we think that Noriko was 19 and Drake 34 some things didn't feel as real. What I mean is that Noriko felt too wise for her age and Drake to immature for his age. They have both been presented as equals but they had 15 years age difference. So, Noriko's impulsitivy and immaturity was compatible with her age, but her wisdom, even though it comes from her oriental heritage still felt too much! Drake in the opposite side of the spectrum was 34 years old but sometimes was a lot more immature than Noriko. I also know that he was presented as this spoiled billionaire, but I think I should have felt their age difference.
"In Japan we repair broken pottery using lacquer made of gold", she traced right across my heart, "because we believe our flaws, our cracks, are precious. There is no need to disguise them or try to hide them. They are part of your history. Part of your beauty." by Drake listening to Noriko
This was an amazing read. Not an easy one in the sense that we feel too much. Both characters are so complex that the author take us in a journey with them. Their personal growth don't happen instantaneously! Each of them went through their personal setbacks and their problems as a duo. It feels real and it was beautifully done. It hurt so good!!!
I will definitely be reading Ms. Blake again, in fact I have add her to my top authors list.
I'm a character reader, and there is nothing that grabs me more in a book than multidimensional characters.
You MAY read this because you follow the series; you SHOULD read this because you like the author; but you MUST read this for an amazing journey of acceptance and love!!!

text: I start a new thread to hopefully discuss some results I get from APS and ideas for better testing. The procedure I follow is: 1. I use two historical data files, the in-sample and the out-of-sample. 2. I run an APS search in the in-sample 3. I test the patterns in the out-of-sample using the APS test function 4. I get the APS code for Amibroker and program the system there 5. I use the Amibroker backtest report to check out-of-sample results Test parameters: Profit target = 1%, Stop loss = 2%. Minimum pf = 1.5 Data: QQQQ daily In-sample: 19900711 to 20020507 (As in the study by Harris) Out-of-sample: 20020507 to 20080822 - Results of the APS search: 1 long and 2 short patterns http://www.4shared.com/photo/TrT007n5/QQQQ_20020507_T1S2.html - Results of APS out-of-sample testing:20020507 to 20080822 http://www.4shared.com/photo/ewAG_24R/QQQQ_20080822_T1S2.html The profit factor is about 1.38 - This is interesting next: results for just all of 2008- see chart http://www.4shared.com/photo/HwD_1Nq5/QQQQ_2008_T1S2.html This is the Amibroker report: http://www.4shared.com/photo/43WON86f/AB_QQQQ_2008_T1S2.html This was a 100% hit rate for all three patterns during 2008. Question: what criteria would you apply for deciding whether to keep this system after 2008? This is an important question I do not know how to answer properly. I have another question I think is important becuase I am having some doubts about the significance of out-of-sample testing. Is it maybe better to use the full history available to search for patterns, use some (?)criteria for determining their significance and then hope they will perform well in real trading?

Welcome to Sweet Cheeks Winery
Sweet Cheeks Winery began with a vineyard and a dream. Over the years we have grown but our roots remain deep in family and our community.
Our Roots
Our story began in 1978 when Owner, Dan Smith planted a vineyard on a rolling hillside in Crow, Oregon. After a hard day of work he looked over the vineyard and noticed the curious shape of the land and christened the vineyard Sweet Cheeks. At this point starting a winery was only a dream. He continued to farm the land, supplying Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Riesling grapes to local wineries. When a building in Junction City came up for demolition in 2003 he took a chance and relocated it atop the vineyard. Thanksgiving of 2005 those doors opened as our tasting room and marked the beginning of Sweet Cheeks Winery & Vineyard.
Sweet Cheeks Family
We believe that the people make the place. We work together each day to achieve our shared goal.
Visit Us
We invite you to experience both our winery, nested at the top of Briggs Hill Road, and our tasting room in town at the beautiful Fifth Street Public Market.Visit Us

From Busan, I took a 73-minute, US$103 Peach Aviation flight to Kansai International Airport. From the airport, it took more than 100 minutes to arrive at the Airbnb, via a combination of walking and train.
Osaka city-proper has a population of nearly 3 million, the second largest in Japan. However, its metropolitan area is 19 million, ranking it #14 in the world. Tokyo metro area is #1 at 38 million.
Osaka regularly makes the lists of both the most expensive and the most livable cities in the world. The city is extremely safe and clean, with hardly a sign of dirtiness or even an indication that crime could occur. Surprisingly, push bicycles are used everywhere, coexisting with automobiles and pedestrians without as much fuss as in other densely populated regions.
This having been my first experience in Japan, I immediately noticed the ubiquity of canned drink vending machines and unmanned parking for both cars and bicycles. Osaka seems so safe that one could simply leave bicycles anywhere without much fear of theft. I reckon the parking is more to satisfy laws than to guard against theft.
Famously, Japan's economy suffers from deflation. Its currency is the yen. When I started my world tour in November, the U.S. dollar was equal to 106 yen. As of this writing, it is 119 yen, an appreciation of 12%. Given how expensive this country is, I welcome this fortuitous currency swing. The ¥500 coin is widely used is the most valuable one in regular use in the world, being worth US$4.20. I carry more change here than in any other country since the smallest note is worth more than US$8, which is probably a record for the most valuable minimum note.
Despite its huge size and proximity to the sublime tourist cities of Kyoto and Tokyo, there is not too much to do in Osaka itself. Dotonbori is world-famous for its massive crowds and neon billboards, Japan's version of New York's Times Square or London's Piccadilly Circus. In addition to Osaka Castle, other sights include a few temples.
At night, there is no shortage of hustlers dressed in suits and young ladies. While there is clearly some prostitution involved, most of the salesmanship is for clubs where it is culturally accepted to entertain with drink and young women, catering toward businessmen. These clubs are not cheap, with expected charges of at least US$100 per head. I did not try one. The women stood at intersections, but they were not aggressive at all. Maybe they thought the product sold itself.
Perhaps the best experience of Osaka was my first Wagyu meal. I have had Kobe beef before, although even then, the meat has to travel thousands of miles in an airplane before arriving in select U.S. steakhouses. Here, the killed cow is as near and fresh as can be. As with many luxury goods, there is some myth involving the geography, breeding techniques, and care of the unusually marbled beef. The cows are quenched with beer and massaged.
The Wagyu beef we had was specifically Matsusaka beef, which along with Kobe and Yonezawa are considered the three best. As can be expected, the meat was extremely expensive. There was much hype as to how the meat would taste, but it was as good as one could expect. It hardly required chewing, as it melted onto one's tongue like a slab of butter on a warm pan. If you eat meat, then I would definitely recommend a Wagyu dinner as an imperative item when visiting Japan.
