Our business and technical knowledge allows us to determine what technologies are ideal and can help clients identify, understand, and implement appropriate solutions and streamline processes.

WMS Assessments involve looking at best practices along with a working knowledge of the warehouse management system marketplace to help clients establish reasonable expectations for improvement. PLS helps clients establish a system roadmap and the return on investment expected.
WMS Selections utilize a proven three phase AIM (Assess, Identify, Match) Methodology. There is risk in any technology investment, but the benefits can be tremendous if the right technology and hardware is selected and implemented. PLS believes a focused approach utilizing existing templates that quickly identifies the right solution provides the client with the best opportunity to realize that benefit rapidly.
PLS can provide the services and solutions you need to implement your WMS system including:
The results of the WMS Assessment are made available in our analysis document and a presentation to your team of our findings and suggestions. Armed with this information, your organization is ready to make important decisions about its future.
The processes and requirements of each company's supply chain are unique and it is imperative that you choose the software vendor that best suits your functional and technology needs. The match should consider current and future supply chain requirements, technology needs, total cost of ownership and the ability of the software vendor and package to scale with your business. Our WMS Selection service utilizes our proven methodology combined with market knowledge and years of experience to ensure that the software choice you make is the correct match now, and in the future.
Using our proven methodology we will:
Document detailed functional and technical requirements
Recommend Short List of Vendor Matches

Scoring, analysis, and comparison of vendor solutions
Redline Contracts and Assist with Negotiation
Provide Implementation Plan and Budget
We provide a comprehensive set of services necessary for successful WMS Implementation. Our experienced team can guide you through the complexities of a WMS implementation, while successfully upholding the always important project standards of on time and within budget.
LMS – Labor Management System
Labor Management Systems (LMS) enable real time and daily feedback to associates and management. These systems provide a scorecard, which enables companies to achieve productivity improvement. Our firm has agreements with the leading LMS software providers. Our consultants have extensive experience in the implementation and integration of these leading software solutions. Labor Management Systems provide employee and management feedback, reports, incentive bonus compensation calculations, staff planning, and performance counseling administration.
PLS offers The OBI Digital Scoreboard System which provides real time feedback to employees and management using smart TVs throughout the facility. These messaging systems are also used by client human resources managers for multipurpose communications.
TMS – Transportation Management System
Transportation Management Systems (TMS) Technology Assessment and Implementation Assistance services are provided for organizations that are interested in understanding how advanced technology can improve transportation performance. Typically, the service includes a transportation technology assessment, based on a structured methodology that compares current technology capability with transportation requirements, resulting in an analysis of critical gaps and recommendations.
In the selection phase, along with the technology assessment, we provide guidance on best practice transportation planning, execution, and settlement processes. Process change decisions up front set up a path for success when the new technology is implemented. During selection, we also manage the process; developing demonstration scripts based on business requirements, providing a scoring matrix, counseling on the final selection, and price benchmarking.
In TMS implementation we provide support where needed:
During the design phase, we provide guidance on carrier management, transportation lane strategy, and work flows from a strategic prospective with a view toward global deployment. Our guidance assists in driving configuration of the technology that does not have to be revisited when expanding to other business units in the enterprise. Where lane strategy is changing, we can also assist with carrier procurement.
During testing and go live, we provide assistance with test plan creation, test plan execution, training and go live support.

I am currently reading my way through a long list of science fiction and fantasy titles. (http://www.npr.org/2011/08/07/138938145/science-fiction-and-fantasy-finalists if you are interested in the list).
So Friday was a rare book shopping day for me. First, I went to the big charity event, Calgary Reads' Big Book Sale. And I couldn't get in. There was a Sheriff there, turning people away because there wasn't any parking!!
So, I took a box of books down to my favourite second hand book shop and did a bit of recyling. Out with the old, in with the "new."
It took me 2 more tries, but I eventually got into the charity event too. Not quite so successful there, but still a good stack of books.
Hope you all had a good Mothers' Day weekend too!

Re: Superintendent's Weekly Update
Date April 4, 2019
We have recently completed kindergarten registration and 1st grade placement procedures for 2019-20. We will present this information to the School Committee on April 10th and share it with the MPS community below.
First Grade Placement/Program Choice: In response to parental requests, for the 2019-2020 school year, there will be 10 English Innovation and 6 French Immersion classes in the district. The classes are distributed as follows: Collicot 2 English and 2 French; Glover, 3 English and 2 French; Cunningham, 3 English and 1 French; Tucker, 2 English and 1 French.
With this distribution, we have waiting lists for French at Cunningham, Glover and Tucker, but we have available seats in French at Collicot. Following our usual placement procedure, we have held a district wide lottery for those on the waiting lists and will offer parents and guardians the option of moving to Collicot in order to enroll in French Immersion. Those who opt to move will maintain their positions on waiting lists in their home schools in case seats open between now and the beginning of the school year.
Initial placement letters went out this week. Offers to those on waiting lists are beginning and will continue until either all available seats are filled or until the waiting list is exhausted.
Kindergarten Enrollment/Placement: For the 2019-2020 school year, we again have a large incoming Kindergarten population that will require us to have 17 Kindergarten classes: 5 each at Glover and Collicot, 4 at Cunningham, and 3 at Tucker. Students will be placed in the schools in their home districts with the "split districts" being used to equalize class size. Additionally, those families who have requested placement outside of their home districts will have their requests considered, if class sizes permit. School assignment letters will be sent out mid April.
We are thrilled to share that our Pierce Future Problem Solving Team placed 2nd (writing) & 1st (action plan) and have been invited to the International FPS meet at UMASS Amherst! Congratulations to Tucker Korman, Jasmine Bethea, Ella Cantor and their teacher Nicole Lauria. A cheer for our individual competitors as well (Kate Piccirillo , William Nass, Jack Concannon, Jackie Segall, Ida Zoll , Victoria Kirkham and Mudia Odion-Ukpebor) who will receive their scores in the coming weeks.
This weekend is the MFE Celebration 2019! We are looking forward to a fun and entertaining evening with the MPS community in support of our schools. More information on the MFE Celebration "Beyond the Books" can be found here.
The next School Committee meeting is Wednesday, April 1oth at 7pm at Milton High School. Information on previous meetings can be found here and all meetings can be watched live or on demand on Milton Access TV.
If you have not had the chance to read the article Middle School Misfortunes Then and Now, One Teacher's Take by Benjamin Conlon, I strongly recommend you do. It brilliantly captures the role smartphones play in the day to day lives of our students.
We are also excited to share that on April 11th, MPS will be hosting internationally recognized clinical psychologist, school consultant and award-winning author Dr. Catherine Steiner-Adair at 6:30 PM in the MHS auditorium. This session will resonate with adults with children of ALL AGES who want to learn more about how to navigate the social and emotional impact technology has on families. For more information regarding Dr. Steiner-Adair please click here.
One of our town's amazing resources, the Milton Public Library, celebrates 10 years in their new building this weekend. Please consider attending some of the events throughout the weekend. We appreciate the MPL and our students and staff say Happy Birthday, MPL!
Last Friday, Milton High School celebrated "Spread the Word to End the Word" by supporting the elimination of the derogatory use of the "r-word" from everyday speech and promoting the acceptance and inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities. Staff and students were encouraged to support this movement by wearing tie-dye to school. Before school and during advisory over 200 MHS students made the online pledge to end the use of the "r-word" and wore orange ribbons to show their support. Mr. Lopresti and his students did a great job capturing these moments on Friday and we share some of these images with you below and at the top of today's blog.
The Pierce Math Team finished their season with a strong showing at their last meet at Coakley Middle School in Norwood last week. The team worked well together all winter with advisors Sarah Pullia and Jim Moonan and are excited about next season.
Where were you at 3:45 this morning? If you have a Pierce 8th grader, you were probably sending them off on the annual 8th grade Washington, DC trip! We know our students will have a wonderful time and we can't wait to share their adventures with you next week.
On Friday, March 29th, our MPS 4th graders traveled to Boston's Symphony Hall where they were treated to a world class performance by the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our students were introduced to Conductor Thomas Wilkins, who welcomed the students and held them in rapt attention with his knowledge and humor.
The theme of this year's concert was "Rule Number 1: Always Take the Scenic Route." Wilkins recalled a story from when his children were younger and how they would get in the car and have the kids tell the parents which way they should turn, often ending up in new unchartered territory which made for a wonderful adventure. The selections reflected this sense of curiosity and creativity and included "Procession of the Nobles" by Rimsky-Korsakov, Grofe's "Sunrise" from Grand Canyon Suite, Elgar's "Nimrod," David Dzubay's modernistic "Ra!" and the crowd favorite, Rossini's Overture to William Tell!
All agreed that it was Conductor Wilkins' approachability and relatability to both children and the beautiful music that created a child-centered, memorable and very enjoyable student experience at Symphony Hall. Children enjoyed making close connections with the music and were able to build upon previously learned knowledge from music class. A special thank you goes out to our 4th grade classroom teachers and assistants, parent chaperones and elementary music teachers, April Allegrezza and Colleen Martin who accompanied the students to Symphony Hall and to the elementary PTOs for providing bus transportation for the trip.
Each year the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority offers a poster contest for students who live or attend school in a community served by the MWRA. This year the theme of the poster contest was STEM. Kindergarten 1st and 2nd graders were asked to create a poster that showed how science is used at the MWRA while 3rd-5th graders created posters that showed how technology is used at the MWRA. Many students were inspired by their 1st grade classroom visit from the MWRA. There were several finalists for the poster contest from Collicot. Congratulations to Esme Neugebauer(4th grade); Olivia Doherty, Theresa Gervasi, Kerianne Fogerty, Ayden Hoang, Samuel Lee, Matthew O'Melia, Jocelyn Platt (2nd grade); and Savannah Delaney, Brenna Monaghan (1st grade).
This past Monday we were honored to support Donate Life Information Night. MPS parent and director of transplant nursing in the Pediatric Transplant Center at Boston Children's Hospital, Laura O'Melia organized the evening and was joined by others in our community to share stories and information around organ donation. Laura shares her personal story here and invites all in the MPS community to consider registering to be an organ donor at this link. The presentation was recorded by Milton Access TV and we will share it as soon as it is available.
April is National Donate Life Month and The Milton Public Schools is proud to partner with Laura and others to bring this information to our community. I'm thrilled to say that Laura shared that we've had 11 people register to become an organ donor as of April 1st. Throughout April, we will continue to share personal stories, donation information and the link to register.
Tuesday, April 2nd was World Autism Awareness Day and our schools participated in "Light it Up Blue" for Autism Awareness. Autism, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech, and nonverbal communication. According to the Centers for Disease Control, autism affects an estimated 1 in 59 children in the United States today.
Students decorated the halls to encourage students to show their support by wearing blue. Classes read books and shared activities to foster autism awareness.
On Wednesday, Cunningham students in 4th grade enjoyed the new unit on autism that was added to the long-standing Celebrating our Differences program. For one hour, students rotated through stations, experiencing just a bit of what someone with autism might experience in everyday life. At the first station, students wore headphones and watched a video produced by autism speaks on the iPad allowing them to experience walking down a busy street from the perspective of a neurotypical person and then walking down the same street from the perspective of a person with autism. Almost all of the student's favorite station was understanding sensory differences and experimenting with different tactile mediums to see things that were calming or bothersome to their unique sensory system. At another station, students discussed differences and things we all might be good at or struggle with. At the final station, students learned appropriate terminology for communicating with a friend with autism and learned that being direct and kind is an effective strategy.
In the second hour, the students heard from speaker Elizabeth Avery, who shared her experiences growing up with autism. The students participated in a Q&A session with Elizabeth to ensure they understood and had lots of great takeaways on how to be a better friend to their peers with autism. As always, the students were respectful and kind and we are so proud of them. We are excited to roll this new unit out next week at Tucker and next year at both Collicot and Glover.
CARING AND CONSEQUENCES: Milton Leaders Discuss their Efforts to Reduce Substance Abuse. Please join the MSAPC on Tuesday, April 23rd at 6:30 pm at the Milton Public Library.
Since the Milton Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition was established five years ago, town organizations, clergy and community residents have impressively dedicated themselves to preventing youth substance abuse and helping all residents who may be struggling with addiction and other behavioral health disorders. There is still much to learn, more work to do, and yet cause for celebration.
Recognizing the power of community awareness, MSAPC's next meeting will locally reflect the national "Communities Talk" movement called, "Caring and Consequences: Milton Leaders Discuss Their Efforts to Reduce Substance Abuse". A leadership panel will discuss their efforts to date and their plans for the future and will include representatives from Milton High School, Milton Police Department, Milton Health Department, Milton Hospital, and Milton's Youth Task Force. The public is encouraged to attend this free event and ask questions of the panelists.
The Milton Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition released its first Community Health Assessment in 2014. While the results exposed high numbers of households with someone in the family struggling with addiction, as well as high rates of youth binge drinking, marijuana use and adolescent depression, the data led to some impressive town-wide actions to address these issues.
Come to our next meeting, to be held on Tuesday, April 23rd at 6:30pm in the Milton Public Library, to hear what progress has been made and to inform our future priorities. If you have any questions, please reach out to Project Coordinator, Margaret Carels. MSAPC's website is filled with valuable information and resources.
You've been waiting for it and now it's here! Please see the Milton Summer Enrichment "At a Glance" brochure to begin planning your summer fun now.
The MPS Transportation Department shares that registration to ride the bus for the 2019-2020 school year will open on May 15th and close on June 14th.

We take a deep dive into this topic at our University
This year we opened Krauthammer University analysing digital learning and the consequences for building impactful learning journeys. Making learning digital is the current buzz and there are many digital learning solutions available like Coursera, MOOCs, etc.
But how impactful are digital learning solutions by themselves?
We think that digital solutions work well for highly motivated individuals. But the big question we ask ourselves as a learning engagement company is "how do you create within a company the same high motivation for today's overwhelmed employees?"
Our intuitive feeling tells us that just digitalising content is not enough to change behaviour. You don't become a sales expert after watching a 1 hour online course. Learning is not a 'one size fits all' product. The specific context, the learning needs, existing knowledge and speed of learning are highly individual. We have already come to the conclusion that a deep understanding of instructional design is at the heart of understanding how to make digital learning work. During the remainder of our University and in the coming months we will explore this topic further with our experts at Krauthammer.
Stay connected to find out more of our findings on how to make digital learning impactful.
Als u vragen heeft over een specifieke dienst van Krauthammer, brengen wij u in contact met de persoon die deze kan beantwoorden.
I want to continue reading.

Factory Husqvarna Reveals 6-Rider Lineup for 2020
Tuesday, January 7, 2020 | 2:00 PM
Husqvarna Motorcycles North America, Inc., is excited to announce Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing's rider lineup for the 2020 race season, which includes a dynamic and seasoned roster for both the 450 Class and 250 Class. A total of six riders, three in each class, will embark on a championship quest for the brand during this summer's Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship.
Headlining the team's 450 Class effort is Jason Anderson (#21), who is back and prepared to contend for a championshiponce again aboard the FC 450 ROCKSTAR EDITION. Joining him in the premier 450 Class for the second year is former 250 Class Champion Zach Osborne (#16), who put forth an impressive 2019 rookie season aboard the FC 450 ROCKSTAR EDITION. And, joining the team officially for 2020, is fellow former 250 Class titleholder Dean Wilson (#15), who stepped in last season as a fill-in rider to put forth solid results aboard the FC 450 ROCKSTAR EDITION.
The Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing 250 Class roster boasts a solid trio as well, including Michael Mosiman (#28), who will look to build from a breakout year in 2019. Making his full-time 250 Class debut is Jalek Swoll (#352), the 2019 Nicky Hayden AMA Motocross Horizon Award winner. Rounding out the lineup is the team's newest addition, RJ Hampshire (#24), who will be in search of a breakout season of his own entering his sixth year of 250 Class competition.
Bobby Hewitt, Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing Team Manager:
"Going into this upcoming season, I believe that we have the strongest group of riders yet. Having a two-time champion in Jason Anderson, a three-time champion with Zach Osborne, and also Dean Wilson, the crowd's favorite, as a one-time champion really gives us a solid 450 program. On the 250 side, having secured Michael Mosiman for another two years is big as we believe that Michael is going to win some races and contest the championship. RJ Hampshire, who is a veteran rider and knows how to win races, is new to the program and we believe that he is ready to compete for the championship as well. And last but not least, Jalek Swoll, who has really improved his technique as a rookie and we look forward to seeing him run up front, too."

The good town of Shelton was settled by English colonists in 1639 as part of the neighboring town of Stratford. In 1662, three Stratford selectmen secured all written deeds of transfer from the Golden Hills Paugussett indian tribe for a vast swathe of land that comprises the present-day towns of Trumbull, Shelton, and Monroe.
Shelton split from Stratford in 1789 as Huntington, named after Samuel Huntington who was one of the co-signatories of both the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation.

Hail to the Chief! One to two years old and a German Shepherd, Chief was surrendered by his owner to the Greenwood County Animal Shelter in South Carolina on December 28th. It was bad enough for Chief to end up in a shelter over the holidays, but all the worse when he tested positive for heartworms, which greatly limited his rescue or adoption options.
The new year brought new hope for Chief. Mary Lou Seymour with the Shelter Animals Advocates and its HeartBeat Goes On program went to work to find a rescue for him. And on January 4th, she succeeded. Dog Star Rescue in Connecticut stepped up to take Chief. The only obstacle remaining was funding for his heartworm treatment. Mary Lou requested our assistance and we agreed to help. He received his heartworm treatment on January 6th.
"Why was this wonderful boy an owner surrender?" wondered December Clark, also with Shelter Animals Advocates and The HeartBeat Goes On. "What a great boy! He's potty trained, walks well on a leash and knows commands. He doesn't chew anything. He has a gorgeous coat. He likes other dogs and is great with kids. He is confident. Nothing quirky here at all. I love this dog!" Click here to view more photos of Chief.
RADAR paid all of Chief's heartworm treatment costs, which totaled $357.
UPDATE! All funds for Chief have been raised! Thank you!
If you would like to help us have the ability to help other dogs, please visit our Donations page.
UPDATE! Chief has been adopted!
Thank you to the following contributors, who have given specifically to Chief:
Helping Hands for Hearts Fund ($100); Sunday Wright Fund; Rebecca Kuga; J. Hieber; Lee & Tracey Meyers; Gail O'Connor

There are no small parts,'18 Edition
by Nathaniel R
Our annual cinematic jamboree,the Film Bitch Awards,continue with the categories ofbest actors and actresses in limited roles.This category is reserved for the kind of performances given in one or two scenes where'd you'd be happy to wander outside the camera's purview just to spend more time with them.Or,more accurately,since the characters aren't always pleasant,performances so strong that you wish you could follow them into another scene or five to watch the actor dig in yet deeper.
We're talking about performances like Brian Tyree Henry's inIf Beale Street Could Talk,who crystallizes the film's conceits about the systematic oppression of black men as his innocent ex-con monologues through the film's most moving sequence.His eyes drop us into the abyss of his prison memories where his words won't take us.We're talking about performances like Bradley Whitford's glib lawyer,oozing shamelessness with his soul long-since sold,who comes at a bedraggled cop threatening him with such confidence that at first you think he'll win and the movie will be a very short one.That is until you watch the star (Nicole Kidman) up her own already impressive game to spar with an actor that's sparking her inner ensemblist.
We're talking about performances like Jeanne Balibar's inCold Waror Jane Curtin's inCan You Ever Forgive Me?that are played with such precise panache that you can imagine a different type of movie just off to the side of the one you're watching,where they're the leads instead and this moment is but a subplot intheirnarratives.Check out the nomination pagefor more on these fine performances and others from Leticia Brédice,Rebecca Field,Elizabeth McGovern,Simon Russell Beale,Philip Ettinger,and Corey Hawkins and a list of other names we also loved in tiny roles this past cinematic year.

While your company undoubtedly has sustainability on its supply chain agenda, creating momentum can be tricky in what is after all, a fairly new way to approach performance improvement. As legislation focuses ever more heavily on environmental protection though, and consumers increasingly consider sustainability in their purchasing decisions, all supply chain organisations will need to find the way forward.
How to Develop a Sustainable Supply Chain
The good news is that there are multiple benefits attached to developing a sustainable supply chain. Since sustainability often involves consuming less and achieving greater efficiency, environmental performance improvements can often lead to cost savings and a more streamlined operation.
But how do you get started on sustainable supply chain development? The answer, as with most change efforts, is to be systematic and take small initial steps leading in the right direction.
Every supply chain is unique, so it's hard to prescribe exactly how sustainability should be tackled. But without taking into account any specific characteristics of your company, the following actions, taken in sequence, should get you on the right path.
1. Supply Chain Mapping
As with any transformation, the first step to a more sustainable supply chain is to gain an intimate understanding of the current environment. You may have mapped your supply chain before, but this time you will need to do so with sustainability in mind.
By all means, dust off your old swim-lane diagrams if they are not too outdated, but be sure to review them all with a focus on resource consumption, waste, and efficiency. Then highlight any points where you see potential for improved sustainability.
2. Set Goals and Determine Measurements
The next thing to focus on, once you've identified areas for improvement, is how to know which way is up. For example, perhaps you have an idea that consumption of fresh water can be reduced in your warehouses or distribution centers.
But is your water consumption really an issue?
How much water do your facilities use when compared with similar organizations with warehouses of similar size and throughput?
This is where sustainability benchmarking can really help you home in on where improvement is most needed. The knowledge gained from benchmarking is essential for your company to graduate towards best-in-class performance.
After you have benchmarked your supply chain for sustainability, you will have the intelligence you need to set goals and decide upon the metrics to employ for progress monitoring. You might find for instance, that your water consumption compares favourably with your peers, but your aging warehouse lighting is consuming vastly more electricity than those fitted out with LED fixtures.
3. Invest in Education
Developing a sustainable supply chain is not something you do overnight. The endeavour should be one of continuous improvement, as best practices, technology and renewable resources are constantly evolving. This process of growth will surely benefit from the understanding and buy-in of all your company's key employees, and those of your supply chain partners.
As you begin to make first inroads into sustainability, implementation of a relevant training/education program will help to get your people fully involved and to comprehend why changes must take place.
Furthermore, the people who keep your supply chain moving are the ones with visibility of the detail. When they know what to look for, they can add granularity to your search for environmental performance excellence.
4. Execute, Review and Adjust
Having established improvement priorities and engaged your managers, workforce and partners, it's time to execute steps to meet the most pressing sustainability goals. As you begin to see results, you will need to evaluate them against your chosen metrics. Outcomes will not always be as expected and solutions will sometimes need to be tweaked. Occasionally you may even need to go back to the drawing board.
The Sustainable Supply Chain Cycle
If your company is serious about developing a sustainable supply chain, the four steps described here will need to become a continuous cycle. Benchmarks move, goals will need extending, metrics require adjustment, training will need to be updated occasionally, and fresh opportunities will appear as your people improve in vigilance and understanding of the issues.
Sustainability should not be considered as a "nice-to-have" for any company that plans to be around for a while. The world's resources really are under pressure and supply chains in particular can often be singled out for their environmental impact, with good reason.
But as well as being a responsibility, sustainability improvement carries benefits which should serve as positive motivation, given that today's markets are not only sensitive to resource depletion, but are also increasingly competitive.

This post contains affiliate links. We may earn money from the products mentioned in this post, but this is at no cost to you, and helps bring you more creative projects. Thank you for supporting Smart Party Planning.
I've been away for the last few days, but something pretty exciting happened over the weekend….and I'm not talking just about the trip! I had a guest post published about how to publish an eBook on Amazon on an awesome blogging site "Online Income Teacher". Now to put this into perspective for you, I don't consider myself to be a blogging guru. I am a party enthusiast who has learnt to blog along the way. So I am INCREDIBLY honored to be featured on this site and you really must go and check it out.
If you have a blog and you are stuck on some of the technical side of things, I really recommend you have a browse of Matt's site – he really has some amazing stuff on there. He is great with answering questions too, so feel free to leave him a comment and he will get straight back to you!
Ok, so you may be thinking how on earth have I written a post about how to publish an eBook on Amazon?!
Well, do you remember I recently finished my eBook "Planning The Perfect Party". Well this book was completed and I have it for sale as a PDF download. However, I wanted to be able to reach a wider audience and also have it available in Kindle format. Amazon is the perfect place to sell Kindle eBooks, but it literally took me ages to work out how to do this. You can check out my eBook for sale on Amazon here.
After I shouted to the rooftops that I managed to work out how to sell my eBook in Kindle format, Matt asked me if I would write an article about how to publish an eBook on Amazon. Of course I absolutely jumped at the chance….how incredibly exciting to be featured on a blogging blog!!!
So if you have an eBook and you are confused about the process of getting it on Amazon, OR you would like to write an eBook and have no idea how to sell it afterwards, I totally recommend you go and check out the article "How to sell an eBook on Amazon". I have outlined all the steps you need to take, so you too can have a huge smile on your face when you see your eBook listed in the Amazon Kindle store 🙂
Please head on over and enjoy my article, and if you feel inclined leave a comment letting us know what you think. Have you written an eBook and listed it on Amazon? What have your experiences been?
Thanks for reading

I don't know about you, but I always manage to misplace my sewing needles. Most of the time, they end up somewhere on the bottom of my magnetic pin cushion with all my straight pins and are never to be seen or heard from again.
When researching gift ideas for a friend who enjoys embroidery, I came across this felt needle book tutorial at Little Birdie Secrets. I loved the idea of having all your sharp and blunt needles in one place, easy to access and find again. I made a few adjustments to the tutorial, and then customized a book for my friend, embroidering her name on the front. After it was done, I decided to make one for myself too so I wouldn't have to keep buying more needles!
These books were made with 100% wool felt from Magic Cabin. It's a bit pricey, but the quality is better than any I've seen. It went through my diecut machine like butter (which is what I used to make the flowers on the front with an old Sizzix die). The flowers were sewn together for dimension, then glued to the front of the book with fabric glue. The cute little flower buttons are from Hero Arts. Lots of fun to make, and it didn't take long to complete. Love these kinds of projects!

If you are summoned to court this year the outcome will be life changing for you.
I could say for the better because lucky Jupiter is there, but this is not the whole story. Jupiter is not working alone, Saturn and Pluto are also in this sector and Saturn wants his karmic debts paid back no matter what the sob-story is.
Taurus Horoscope 12222 Overview:
You will get exactly what you deserve for better or for worst with Jupiter conjunct Pluto in this zone. You might equally be the one who has to dish out the compensation. So this year is one that could be very, very good or very, very bad when it comes to the law. Otherwise, if you are studying in higher education you probably will have the smoothest ride, I mean what could go wrong in that department? Saturn and Pluto will help you immerse yourself into your subject and you could get very obsessed with it in a good way.
Another area that is well starred is travel and by extension business with foreigners. Studying abroad would be fabulous and life-changing.
You could very easily meet a long term life-partner or best friend on your journeys. You must be getting used to Uranus in your sign by now. Taurus, the most plodding of the fixed signs, does not like change much, but Uranus makes you a little more like an Aquarian this year… more.
Saturn The main thing to watch out for with Saturn here is becoming too set in your beliefs. So this is the sort of a time where a person becomes a Jehovah witness, joins a cult or becomes a Jihadist.
Taurus Monthly Horoscope
Having said that, the day after you have the Persephone abduction aspect on Jan 13 with Ceres conjunct Pluto …. Jupiter travels alongside Saturn in your international zone practically all year Until Dec 20 so these two gods balance things out nicely in terms of growth and prosperity. Events that occur at this time seem to have a special, destined feel about them and result from being able to tap into a universal intelligence. Jupiter conjunct South Node on Jan 8 will be one of those days when synchronicity points the way to success.
Venus sextile Jupiter on Jan 23 is another day where you get that sense of the architect in the sky, there is less pressure that you have to work everything out yourself….
Taurus: Your daily horoscope - December 03
Ceres has the strangest orbit where some years it is as fast as a personal planet and other years it functions more like Jupiter. This year it divides itself mainly between Aquarius and Pisces and retrogrades twice so it is more personal. Before it does we have a Persephone -esque connection of Ceres conjunct Pluto in Capricorn on Jan This leaves you quite vulnerable to an abduction by a tall, dark handsome stranger on holiday as the olden day books used to say. Well, it all depends on where you are travelling as it might equally be a petite Asian or leggy blond Swede…. Black Moon Lilith The majority of the year Lilith will be in Aries so we will take it from there when she enters there from Jan This means the witch will get extra witchy in your mystical zone, especially when Mars joins Lilith there from Jun 28 until Oct 20 Mars can bring inflammation, so if you do not give yourself enough TLC then illness could be the result.
Being ill forces you to slow down, but if you have really been abusing yourself you could be hospitalized!

On the domestic front, keeping a calm and cool composure with the spouse will help in maintaining the sanity of the relationship, in this month.

I'm a huge believer that a healthy lifestyle takes time and will always be a work-in-progress. It's a combination of working out + a healthy diet + a positive self image. All three take work and practice, this is why I strongly dislike fad-diets and trends aimed at young people to drop weight quickly. It's just not sustainable and it promotes the wrong lifestyle.
When I was asked to check out Drink Juice Co. I smirked at my inbox. The whole "Juicing" trend was something I disliked vehemently. My friends who did juice, all did cleanses and used them as a "get out of jail free" card. They thought it was the perfect way to cancel out the other things they had been putting in their bodies. Hence, my association with juicing has always been an irresponsible diet option.
Bloc'ers, I had a pleasant, rude-awakening. Meet Nadia Kotsos and Sophia Vavouleas, the two female entrepreneurs behind Drink Juice Co. which opened over a month ago. These ladies believe in a healthy lifestyle and it's evident through the thoughtful decor and carefully curated product offerings in their shop. Everything you see in their quaint space is an extension of the founders.
Nadia's background in Nutrition with Sophia's business experience led to a year and half of hardwork, sweat, tears (lots of tears) and life lessons. Childhood friends, these Greek girls combined their unique talents and successfully launched Drink Juice Co.
At 2PM I was throwing back shots of juice, sampling all the hand-pressed choices and through conversation, all my pre-conceptions began to unravel. With beautiful bottles and quirky names like FineApple, Rise and Rind, Aloe-Ha and Shake your Melon Maker, Sophia and Nadia made the whole experience beyond rad and changed my view of the Juicing industry (or I just fell in love with Drink Juice Co.).
A few key take-aways that I learned while chatting with these girls:
- Drink ORGANICALLY pressed-juices: When non-organic produce is juiced, the pesticides in them become amplified and digested through your body at a higher rate. So you're actually doing more harm to your body. Whereas 100% organic vegetables and fruits are grown without pesticides thus your body will absorb all the nutrients, enzymes and vitamins.
- Juices are a supplement to your diet. I really respected these girls for not promoting a Juice-Only diet. The majority of their clients come in to buy their juices as a supplement to their healthy lifestyles and during our time there, it was clear they had already built a strong fanbase in a short period of time.
My favourite juice from that afternoon is the FineApple. It's made with Cucumber, Pineapple, Spinach, Parsley, Lettuce, Jalapeno, Lime (all 100% Organic).
Take a look at their Menu for all the colourful options available for purchase
If you're ever in that area, I would highly recommend opting for Drink Juice Co. over a Starbucks! Support local and energize your body with a healthy drink juice, I'd say that's a win-win 😉

Since the past many years, bounce houses have been catering to the needs of children by providing extensive entertainment at parties, fairs and even in backyards. They come out to be the perfect choice for any kid's birthday party. These inflatable houses many be rented in themes that suits the occasion. They range from dancing to sports to many others. These bounce houses are offered on rent by the hour for sp
ecial occasions. They include the delivery, installation and removal of these structures.
Nature of fun
These devices offer both dry and wet ones. Not only children, but adults may derive hours of fun through them. You may go on to create one of the best parties in your own backyard through the rental of inflatable slides or bounce houses. You have many options at your disposal. You may go on to combine a pool with a water slide. Another alternative is combining a happy jumper with a slip-n-slide. A bounce house that offers more adventures and entertainment activities are preferred by older kids. In case you have kids who are sports enthusiastic, then opt for an inflatable that allows them to play baseball, basketball and other sports.
Risk for injuries
Parents need not worry about safety of their children as these devices have been designed to provide a safe playing environment to the children. Accidents at times are inevitable. They even happen when your children are playing at home, or when they play on a swing. Injuries can occur anywhere. The best part about these devices is that you get to witness your child, smiling, laughing, enjoying and having fun. This should be considered worth taking the little risk that exists in such cases.
Usage in summer
Summer is probably the best time for you to rent bounce houses. Your children can escape the heat of the summer season when they can avail an opportunity of playing in a water slide or when they engage in slip-n-slide. This is especially the case in the middle of the summer when one of the best options is to slide down the wet path at great speeds. These devices are available in various colors, designs, themes and styles. They are equipped with a design that unleashes great opportunities for fun and entertainment. These devices have been manufactured to be used in both dry and wet conditions. This allows you to opt for both the cases. You may opt for a water adventure when the weather is too hot or for fun without water when the weather is cool.

Banana bread makes me think of childhood and my Auntie Vera. It was always one of my favorites, but her original recipe calls for shortening (hydrogenated fat), so I've swapped that out for much healthier coconut oil. It does add a slight coconut flavor, but I think it actually pairs nicely with the bananas for a yummy breakfast-on-the-run or tea time snack.

An early start – helping your child rise to the challenge of school
PUBLISHED: 09:00 25 February 2014
'It is the quality of the early years setting that can have the most positive impact on your child'
Despite an emphasis on making learning fun, nursery education is much more than child's play - it is a vital, gently welcoming stage on a child's journey through school that can have a significant impact on future success. The importance of early years education and its impact on later school performance is widely acknowledged, however, it is the quality of the nursery setting that has the most significant bearing. Even though most providers follow the government's Early Years Foundation Stage framework, a good nursery will go above and beyond these guidelines as well as possessing an overriding sense of warmth.
An independent school nursery often has the freedom to offer a more enriching curriculum and an abundance of confidence boosting experiences. Small class sizes are a major advantage, meaning teachers can play to your child's strengths, address weaknesses and encourage a lasting enthusiasm for learning. This positive classroom experience is complemented by abundant activities led by specialist staff, including music, dance, drama and sport, and extended opening hours are a real bonus for working parents.
Pupils also have access to excellent resources – Clayesmore nursery pupils have regular swimming lessons as well as use of the school library, chapel, sports centre and a purpose built theatre that's great for boosting little stars' stage confidence. Extensive grounds, with a lake, pond and woodland, are right on our doorstep, and the school also has a fleet of minibuses to really open up the wider world and broaden little minds. This early introduction to education also makes it easy for children to step up to Pre-Prep with a spring in their step, then smoothly onto to Prep and Senior which, at Clayesmore, share the same idyllic site.
All nursery providers must conform to government guidelines but it is the quality of the early years setting that can have the most positive impact on your child. The effects of early exposure to a vibrant and friendly nursery setting will have your child skipping through the school gates and into a successful life beyond school.
Emma Stewart – Head of Nursery at Clayesmore Pre-Prep (Rising 3s to Age 7)

Gameweek 18 Tips & £50 Cash Opportunity
Join me and many other fantasy football managers in Starting 11's
Starting 11 has another free to enter £50.00* mini-league prize on offer this weekend. I'm here to bring you tips and hints on how to make the most of your Daily Fantasy Premier League team.
We all love fantasy football. A lot of us play in FPL cash leagues with family, friends and work colleagues. Starting 11 are once again offering us the chance to win some cash!
What makes Starting 11 special is that there are no player price caps or budget restrictions, which allows you to pack a weekly team with as many premium assets as you want, rather than being forced to own less accomplished players from the bottom end of the table.
If you'd like to get involved this week by challenging me and many other FPL managers from the community, simply create your line-ups today by downloading the free Starting 11 app, which is available on both iOS and Android.
*Terms and conditions apply
Below, I (@FPLHints) will show you all my line-up in advance and offer a few thoughts on which premium and differential players I'm considering.
Once you've installed the app and are logged in, please head over to the 'Mini-League' tab and there you will see FPLTips' contest for Sunday 22nd December.
As mentioned, both the iOS and Android apps are free to download, and the £50.00 free roll contest is free to join and play so there's nothing to lose.
To get involved, simply download the free app below and create your best 11-man team - and you'll need to pick a captain to earn you those all-important double points! FREE TO PLAY - FREE MONEY TO GIVEAWAY - DOWNLOAD BELOW
Harry Kane vs. Chelsea (H)
Harry Kane seems to be firing hot and cold lately, one week he's scoring a brace and chalking up an assist for good measure and then he's non-existent, as we saw against Wolves.
However, I am never willing to rule out Harry Kane, especially as we are entering the festive period when the England captain is more can capable of firing in back-to-back hat-tricks.
The reliability of Kane may not be what is once was, but his ceiling is still high in term of earning fantasy football returns.
Given Chelsea haven't kept a clean sheet for 5 Premier League games, I will certainly have Kane in my Starting 11 this Sunday – I was close to handing him the armband!
Christian Pulisic vs. Spurs (A)
A player dividing opinion this week, showing all the signs of being a fantastic fantasy football asset – but not delivering those crucial returns.
Those of you that love stats can look at it both ways, on the one hand Pulisic has only had 2 shots on target during his last 4 games – on the other hand, he has managed 13 shots as a whole inside the box.
Given the lack of fixtures this Sunday, to gain an advantage over your rivals we need some differentials – how many will choose to own Pulisic given his poor form?
I think he deserves another chance, Pulisic is reminding me a lot of Hazard – this was always the sort of game Hazard turned up for and punish those managers who had left him out.
With arguably the easiest fixture of the day, Manchester United travel to Watford on Sunday – I say arguably as Manchester United continue to take home 3 points against the top 6 sides but struggle against those further down the table.
Rashford has been fairly consistent this season, he has been recording fantasy returns regularly and perhaps slipped under the radar for many as the attention is drawn to overall poor Manchester United performances.
It's true that penalty duty has helped his cause, Manchester United have been awarded the most and scored the most penalties in the league this season.
Watford are still rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table with only 1 win and 6 draws so far this season, surely Manchester Untied have to win this one?

Facebook Agrees to Audit of its Metrics Following Data Controversy
Tech giant met with ad-industry trade body to discuss data and ad product needs
Facebook FB 0.78% has pledged to undergo audits by the media industry's measurement watchdog, the Media Rating Council, people familiar with the matter say, a move that will likely please ad-industry executives who are skeptical of the tech giant's data-reporting practices.
Ad executives have been clamoring for more independent verification of Facebook's metrics, especially after a series of disclosures by the company in recent months about mistakes in its data.
Representatives from Facebook, including Carolyn Everson, the company's vice president of global marketing solutions, delivered a presentation Thursday in Washington, D.C. to the board of the Association of National Advertisers, a trade group for marketers, the people familiar with the matter say.
Ms. Everson informed the group that Facebook plans to provide more granular data to third-party measurement partners such as Integral Ad Science and Moat. That will include metrics such as how many ads in a given campaign are viewable, how long these ads appear on various screens and whether sound was on for video ads.
That could mean that more Facebook data will be vetted by independent third parties, which advertisers can then use when evaluating media buys on the platform.
In addition, Ms. Everson pledged that Facebook will undergo MRC-administered audits to help marketers feel that Facebook is more accountable, the people familiar with the matter said.
The MRC, the media industry body that certifies measurement methods, declined to comment. Representatives from ANA couldn't be reached for comment.
Facebook has been under fire of late for a series of embarrassing data mishaps. And advertisers have generally been frustrated by their belief that Facebook and other big digital platforms do the equivalent of grading their own homework, while not allowing for genuine third-party inspection of their data.
Marc Pritchard, chief brand officer for Procter & Gamble, who has called for more transparent measurement practices by big tech companies, attended the ANA session and was pleased with Facebook's pledge.
"Facebook's actions on media transparency are a positive step forward, particularly coming from one of the largest media players in the industry," he said in a statement. He said he hopes Facebook's move "builds more momentum to create a clean and productive digital media supply chain."
During the meeting, Ms. Everson also laid out a number of new ad-buying options requested by advertisers, including the ability for brands to pay only for video ads that run to completion.
But she also laid out some of the downsides of such tactics. For example, buying ads based on how long they are viewed can lead to reaching older users who scroll slowly through their newsfeeds and can drive up ad costs, she told marketers.

Schadenfreude, it seems, can get even the best of us. Although in most cases it's done in a good-natured way that highlights the determination of an individual to get themselves into strife.
Much like old mate in this video posted to YouTube who wasn't going to let something as small as a city-wide flood prevent him from taking his daily constitutional.
Doing the stubborn stereotype of his fellow Scots no favours, this "brave" bloke took testing the waters to new levels as he attempted to stroll down a street that looks more like a river.
Unfolding like a particularly bad David Attenborough short documentary, the cameraman and his crew narrate his attempt to navigate through increasingly rougher waters until the inevitable, hilarious, ending. A for effort, though.

On the professional front, people having the Sun in 4th house will flourish if they are in government, semi-government or public services. Although, many astrologers believe that the 4th house having the Sun in it especially in Aquarius, Leo and Libra then it creates hurdles in their life. Natives with this kundali arrangement will not get the affection from their mother in their childhood. This may continue even when they grow up and the relationship between the mother and the son may turn sour.
Such individuals get a lot of praise in the society. They get respect and felicitation from the higher authorities like presidents, Prime Ministers or any other high dignitaries if they have the Sun in 4th house. If they hold any administrative positions or are managing high positions in any establishments, organization or industry, they can be partial. Though they may say that they are impartial in their work but that's not true. If they have Capricorn or Virgo in the 4th house, the people may have to face integrity issues.
People with the Sun in 4th house often boast about their social work. They do contribute towards the development of shelter homes, small dams, widow homes, night shelters, ponds, schools etc. But their monetary contribution is very less as compared to what they brag. This position of Sun helps the individuals become the owner of the property and immovable assets. The Sun in 4th house helps the individuals to inherit property from their maternal side. They become the owner of immovable property which also adds on to the assets that they possess. People with the Sun in 4th house do everything to help their friends and are very supportive of them.
Effect of the Sun in the 4th house on the behavior of the person
People having the Sun in 4th house become very arrogant in case they commit any violation of traffic or law and order. They can also put the blames on others. When it comes to their relationship with their seniors, then the natives of the Sun in 4th house are flattery. They leave no stone unturned to impress their bosses and seniors, and expect the same from their subordinates. In case they don't get the same praise and sycophancy from their juniors or subordinates, they may create hurdles for them.
Another negative trait of the people with Sun in 4th house is that they often tell their children about the challenges and hurdles they have faced in the upbringing of their children. But, this is not with an intent to tell them about the past years of their childhood but to put the burden of expectations on the children. People with the Sun in 4th house will have to face trouble in relations, problems on the domestic front like separation, poor relations, health issues etc. in the first of their life. However, the things begin to change in the second half of the life (after the age of 22), they will get everything from life, from a good job to great relations everything comes back. Success, status and growth come in the life of the people having the Sun in 4th house.

By Maria Valdez Haubrich
With the recent recession showing college-aged kids there aren't nearly as many large corporate opportunities waiting for them after graduation, more and more are jumping on the Zuckerberg bandwagon and starting their own businesses.
Ahmed Mokhtar and Drew Ness are seniors at the University of Southern California and founders of UNCL loungewear company. Here is their advice for making it in today's entrepreneurial world:
1. Look Around You. Observe your environment and take notice of missing key ingredients. As football players at USC, Ahmed and Drew realized there was no brand of basic loungewear that was both comfortable and stylish and decided to fill that niche.
2. Don't Skimp on Ingredients. Quality always trumps quantity. The team created their own custom blend of materials, putting each piece through a special softening wash process to ensure the quality of the hoodies, sweatpants and T-shirts.
3. Use The Assets You Already Have. Don't be afraid to reach out to old contacts. Ahmed and Drew increased awareness about their brand by mailing packages to former USC teammates.
4. Practice Makes Perfect. Try, try and try again. Although their first collection was incredibly successful, the duo is already designing new ideas for the new Fall 2011 line.
5. Have Your Cake and Eat It Too. Enjoy every minute of your success. After increasing profits over 1300 percent in only five months and securing major investors like Mossimo Giuliani, Ahmed & Drew have witnessed UNCL become a huge trend, but they still look forward to the day when the "U" brand logo becomes a household name, saying that will be the icing on the cake.

Women in Spain earn 17% less than men
On International Working Women's Day, the International Labor Organization (ILO) has analyzed the salary gap between men and women in Spain, with revealing results.
By comparing ''comprehensible factors'' like difference in working experience, level of training or industrial sector, with ''unexplainable'' factors that can be attributed to gender difference, the organization estimated that women earn 17% less than men. If ''unaccountable'' factors were to be eliminated, women would earn 2% more, given their education and experience levels.
''If we consider objective factors like the ability of men and women, there should be no salary difference or the difference should be in favor of women, who have a higher level of training than men'', said the director of ILO for Spain, Joaquin Nieto, in statements to the media.
According to an economic report, men in Europe earn on average 19% more than women and the salary discrimination in general is registered worldwide at the same levels recorded at least a decade ago. And the gap gets wider with higher salaries.
