2016-17 Budget Act Letter
Official Letter
Official Letter
Dear County and District Superintendents, Direct-Funded Charter School Administrators, and County Chief Business Officers:
On June 27, 2016, Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. signed the Budget Act and related trailer bills, putting into place a spending plan for 2016–17 and a revised spending plan for 2015–16. This letter, prepared by the California Department of Education (CDE) fiscal policy staff, provides information on the budget actions that affect kindergarten through grade twelve (K–12), adult education, and early education programs.
Copies of this document, as well as other budget-related documents, are available on the CDE Education Budget Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/fr/eb/. Official state budget documents are available through the California Department of Finance Web site at http://www.dof.ca.gov/.
California's fiscal outlook remains strong due to continued economic growth and new revenues generated by Proposition (Prop) 30. However, the quarter-cent sales tax provision of the initiative is scheduled to sunset at the end of 2016, and the income tax provisions are scheduled to sunset at the end of 2018. With the anticipated reduction in Prop 30 revenues and significant increases in long-term costs, debts, and liabilities in the coming years, the Governor once again has indicated that an economic downturn is "around the corner." The 2016–17 budget reflects that concern and provides an additional $2 billion deposit to the state's Budget Stabilization Account/Rainy Day Fund (Prop 2), bringing the balance to $6.7 billion. The budget continues to pay down the state's long-term debts and liabilities by $1.3 billion from Prop 2 funds.
While the rate of growth of the state's revenue has slowed down, state revenues continue to increase. The General Fund (GF) revenues for 2016–17 are projected to be $123.2 billion, a nearly $5 billion increase over 2015–16. The revised revenue projections for 2015–16 are $118.5 billion. GF expenditures for K–12 education are $51.6 billion and total funding for K–12 education, including state, local, and federal funds, is $88.3 billion.
Proposition 98
The budget package reflects Prop 98 funding for K–14 education of $71.9 billion in 2016–17, a $3.5 billion increase over the 2015–16 Budget Act level. This funding reflects state resources of $51.1 billion and local property tax revenues of $20.8 billion.
On a per-pupil basis, Prop 98 spending for K–12 education is $10,643 in 2016–17, up from $10,203 in 2015–16. When all funding sources are considered, per-pupil spending for K–12 is $14,799 in 2016–17, compared to $14,302 in 2015–16.
The budget package includes $1.3 billion in one-time Prop 98 funding for K–12 local educational agencies (LEAs). These discretionary funds can be used for any purpose determined by the LEA's governing board and will reduce the amount of outstanding mandate claims currently on file with the State Controller's Office. Funds can be used for activities such as deferred maintenance, professional development, instructional materials, technology, and the implementation of new educational standards. The estimated rate per unit of average daily attendance (ADA) is $214.
Additionally, the budget package provides the Mandate Block Grant with an additional $131,000 Prop 98 funding for 2016–17 to reflect increased LEA participation and to align the mandate block grant funding with revised ADA.
Local Control Funding Formula
The budget package includes a total of $56.8 billion for Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) funding, including an additional $2.94 billion to school districts and charter schools for the fourth year of LCFF implementation. This funding increase will bring LCFF to an estimated 96 percent of the way to full implementation statewide.
While the Department of Finance estimates that the additional $2.94 billion will close 54.18 percent of the remaining funding gap to achieve full funding for LCFF, this percentage will be revised throughout the year and will be final as of the 2016–17 second principal apportionment in June of 2017. Transition funding provided to school districts and charter schools in the first four years of LCFF implementation, including 2016–17, is about $15.7 billion, leaving roughly $2.7 billion of the funding gap remaining to reach full implementation. This puts the state ahead of the originally projected eight-year implementation schedule for LCFF.
Cost-of-Living Adjustment and Growth
The statutory cost of living adjustment (COLA) is very small and rounds to zero. Consequently, the budget includes no funding for COLA. The budget includes growth funding of $5.3 million for preschool programs and LCFF.
Early Education and Child Care
The budget continues to restore the cuts that have been made to early education and child care programs over the past several years by committing to increasing funding by $500 million over three years. Total early education and child care funding for 2016–17 is over $2.6 billion, including $925 million for California State Preschool, $470 million for General Child Care, and $267 million for Alternative Payment Programs, for a net increase of $126 million among the three programs in 2016–17.
The budget package provides:
California State Preschool Program
- $7.8 million Prop 98 funding for an additional 2,959 full-day State Preschool Slots in 2016–17 with the intent to provide a total of $100 million for an additional 8,877 slots phased in over four years.
General Child Care and Alternative Payment Programs
- An increase to the Regional Market Rates to the 75th percentile of the 2014 survey as of January 1, 2017, with a two-year hold harmless.
- An increase to the Licensed Exempt Rates from 65 percent to 70 percent of the Family Child Care Home Rate as of January 1, 2017.
- An increase to the Standard Reimbursement Rates by 10 percent across the board, effective January 1, 2017.
- $1.4 million in one-time funding for Los Angeles Trade-Tech Community College to provide job training, mentoring, and college courses through the Early Care and Education Apprenticeship Pilot Program.
Career Technical Education
The budget package provides $300 million in Prop 98 funding for competitive matching grants to continue the Career Technical Education Incentive Grant Program (CTEIG). This builds upon the $400 million provided in the 2015 Budget Act. In addition, the budget package adopts trailer bill language to grant the State Superintendent of Public Instruction (SSPI), in collaboration with the Executive Director of the State Board of Education, additional flexibility in determining the amount of funds provided for each CTEIG applicant. The trailer bill language also allows the SSPI to reduce the following year's grant if, upon review, it is determined that the grant recipient failed to comply with the match requirements.The required local match to qualify for CTEIG funding is as follows:
- 2015–16 fiscal year = $1.00 local: $1.00 CTEIG funds;
- 2016–17 fiscal year = $1.50 local: $1.00 CTEIG funds;
- 2017–18 fiscal year = $2.00 local: $1.00 CTEIG funds.
College Readiness Block Grant
The budget package includes $200 million in one-time Prop 98 funding to establish the College Readiness Block Grant program, which will provide additional support to prepare high school pupils, particularly unduplicated pupils (low-income, English learner, and foster youth), for higher education. Grants will be allocated to eligible school districts, county offices of education (COEs), and charter schools based upon the number of unduplicated high school pupils enrolled in the 2015–16 fiscal year, with a minimum grant amount of $75,000 per LEA. To be eligible to receive a grant, schools must be accredited or in the process of obtaining accreditation from the Accrediting Commission for Schools, Western Association of Schools and Colleges. The grants must be expended or encumbered by June 30, 2019, and may be used for the following:
- Providing professional development opportunities for teachers, administrators, and counselors to improve pupil A-G course completion rates, pupil college-going rates, and college readiness of pupils.
- Counseling services to pupils and their families regarding college admission requirements and financial aid programs.
- Developing or purchasing materials that support college readiness.
- Developing comprehensive advising plans to support pupil completion of A-G course requirements.
- Implementing collaborative partnerships between high schools and postsecondary educational institutions that support pupil transition to postsecondary education.
- Providing subsidies to unduplicated pupils to pay fees for taking advanced placement exams.
- Expanding access to coursework or other opportunities to satisfy A-G course requirements to all pupils.
As a condition of receiving funds, grant recipients must report to the SSPI by January 1, 2017, on how they will measure the impact of the funds received on their unduplicated pupils' access and matriculation into institutions of higher education.
Teacher Recruitment
The budget package provides $35 million in one-time funding for the Commission on Teacher Credentialing for several programs aimed at recruiting teachers and streamlining teacher preparation programs. Of these funds, $20 million Prop 98 is for a program to recruit classified employees into the teaching profession; $10 million non-Prop 98 is for grants to colleges and universities to develop or improve four-year integrated teacher credential programs; and $5 million Prop 98 is available to create the California Center on Teaching Careers to recruit qualified individuals into the teaching profession.
Multi-Tiered System of Support
The budget package provides $20 million in one-time Prop 98 funding to the Orange COE to allocate as grants to LEAs for the purpose of implementing academic and behavioral support aligned to the Multi-Tiered System of Support framework. This funding builds upon the $10 million provided in the 2015 Budget Act to develop and disseminate best practices for school-wide systems of learning and behavioral supports.
Adult Education
The budget package provides $5 million in one-time Prop 98 funding to be expended over a three-year period (2016–17 through 2018–19) for the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office and the CDE to contract with a community college district, school district, COE, or adult education consortium to provide statewide leadership for consortia members.
The budget continues to provide $500 million in Prop 98 funding for the adult education block grant. Each participating LEA will receive the same amount it received in the prior budget year. The budget package also includes trailer bill language which requires the fiscal agent for each adult education consortium to develop a process to apportion funds within 45 days of receiving the funds from the state. The trailer bill language prohibits requiring consortium members from being funded on a reimbursement basis.
High Speed Network
The budget package provides $8 million in Prop 98 funding to fund the operations of the K–12 High Speed Network.
Foster Youth
The budget package amends statute to stipulate that the funding formula for the Foster Youth Services Coordinating Program provide a base grant amount of $75,000 for each participating COE or consortium of COEs that provided services to at least one foster youth in the prior fiscal year. Of the remaining funds, 70 percent is to be allocated based upon the number of foster youth in the county and 30 percent based upon the number of school districts located within the county.
State Special Schools
The budget package includes $1.7 million in one-time non-Prop 98 funding to construct a new middle school activity center at the California School for the Deaf in Fremont. The funding is in addition to the $3 million for deferred maintenance projects at the three State Special Schools campuses.
California Collaborative on Educational Excellence
The budget package provides $20 million in one-time Prop 98 funding to the California Collaborative on Educational Excellence for statewide professional development training on the use of the evaluation rubrics by LEAs. In addition, $4 million is provided to implement a pilot program to provide assistance to LEAs to improve student outcomes. $5.6 million was re-appropriated for the pilot program.
Charter Schools
The budget package adopts trailer bill language to clarify that charter schools must complete a Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) in addition to an annual update. The trailer bill language also requires the charter authorizing agency to review the charter's LCAP with its update to ensure compliance.
Additionally, the budget includes $20 million in one-time Prop 98 funding for charter school start-up costs in 2016 and 2017. The maximum grant award for an eligible applicant operating a classroom-based charter school is $575,000. Eligible applicants operating a non-classroom-based charter school may receive a maximum grant of $375,000.
Proposition 39: California Clean Energy Jobs Act
The budget increases Prop 39 allocations to $398.8 million, a total increase of $85.4 million for K–12 schools (including the State Special Schools), in 2016–17. The increase reflects an increased projected revenue in 2016–17 tied to the corporate tax changes enacted by Prop 39.
Proposition 47: Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act
Prop 47 (approved by voters in 2014) reduces the penalties for certain non-serious and non-violent crimes. Savings resulting from Prop 47 are to be transferred into the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Fund. A portion of this fund, 25 percent, is to be invested in K–12 schools to reduce truancy and support dropout prevention. The budget package provides an estimated Prop 47 savings of $9.9 million in ongoing Prop 98 funding to K–12 schools. The budget also provides $18million in one-time supplemental funding to further support dropout and truancy prevention programs. (Note: At the time of this writing, the details of the program have not yet been finalized. For additional information, please refer to Senate Bill 527 [Liu] and Assembly Bill 1014 [Thurmond]).
Mathematics Readiness Challenge Grant
The budget package provides $6.4 million in one-time federal funds for the California Mathematics Readiness Challenge Grant. The purpose of this grant is to provide in-depth professional learning opportunities in mathematics for collaborative teams of secondary mathematic educators, their school-site administrator, and faculty from their partner institution(s) of higher education to support the implementation and evaluation of grade twelve experiences that are designed to prepare pupils for placement into college-level courses in mathematics. Grants of approximately $1.3 million will be awarded to five eligible partnerships.
Safe Drinking Water
The budget package provides $9.5 million in one-time Prop 98 funding to the State Water Resources Control Board to establish a grant program, in consultation with the CDE, to improve access to and the quality of drinking water in public schools and preschools and day care centers located on public school property. Priority for projects will be given to schools within (or serving pupils from) small, disadvantaged communities and to projects that will increase access to safe drinking water at schools. Grants may be used to install water bottle filling stations, drinking water fountains that remove contaminants, and point-of-entry treatment devices for drinking fountains.
Exploratorium and Special Olympics
The budget package provides $3.5 million ongoing Prop 98 funding to the San Francisco Unified School District to contract with the Exploratorium in San Francisco for purposes of supporting professional development and leadership training for education professionals; expanding access to quality Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics learning opportunities; and supporting statewide implementation of the Next Generation Science Standards. The budget also includes $1 million in one-time Prop 98 funding to the Los Angeles COE to expand the Special Olympics in schools.
Budget and Trailer Bills
The Budget Act and trailer bills are as follows:
- Budget Act: Senate Bill 826, Chapter 23, signed June 27, 2016
- Education omnibus trailer bill: Senate Bill 828, Chapter 29, signed June 27, 2016
- Higher education: Assembly Bill 1602, Chapter 24, signed June 27, 2016

NNPC, ExxonMobil partner to increase gas for power generation
he Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has said it is seeking out new measures to expand existing operational portfolio with a view to increasing crude oil production, and availability of gas for power generation.
The corporation stated that the move will involve its upstream joint venture partner, ExxonMobil.
A statement by Ndu Ughamadu, Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, of NNPC in Abuja on Friday, said the Group Managing Director of NNPC, Dr. Maikanti Baru, stated this when he hired a delegation from the United States-based global oil Corporation, led by its Senior Vice-President, Mr. Jack Williams.
Speaking after a meeting with the delegation, Dr Baru said the joint venture with ExxonMobil, which until recently was the highest producer of crude oil in the country, was primed to make a rebound.
He said the Corporation had advanced talks with ExxonMobil on major operational issues like improved drilling to increase production and refurbishment of crude oil pipelines as well as supply of gas to the planned Qua Iboe Independent Power Plant among others.
"More importantly we also discussed their recommitment to supply gas to the domestic market and this is something that is very positive and they are willing; we would quickly roll-out the programme to ensure that sufficient gas comes in for the IPP. We also secured a commitment from them to end gas flare at QIT and other production areas," he said.
Describing the meeting as very fruitful, Williams on his part noted that ExxonMobil was committed to growing its production in Nigeria.
Williams also hinted that ExxonMobil was set to increase its JV budget for 2018 operations.

I highly reccomend Premier and their products.
Very nice yarn, easy to work with and no knots. Color change is mostly balanced, I did have a section that was not as colorful as I would like

The Cardinals have placed a "Second Round" restricted free agent tender on running back and kick returner LaRod Stephens-Howling.
A 2009 seventh-round pick out of Pittsburgh, Stephens-Howling has 72 carries for 295 yards and one touchdown and 39 receptions for 428 yards and three touchdowns out of the backfield. Over the last three seasons, the 5-foot-7, 185-pound running back has averaged 25.3 yards on 145 kick returns, returning three for touchdowns.
Stephens-Howling signed a three-year, $1.219 rookie contract that paid him a 2011 CBA-enhanced base salary of $525,000 in 2011. Under the "Upgraded Tender", Stephens-Howling would make $1.927 million in non-guaranteed base salary in 2012.
In addition to Stephens-Howling, the Cardinals placed "Original Round" tenders on cornerback Greg Toler and safety Rashad Johnson. The Cardinals selected Toler in the fourth round of the 2009 NFL Draft out of St. Paul's and the 6-foot, 192-pound corner started 13 of 14 games in 2010 before missing the entire 2011 season with a torn ACL. Johnson was a 2009 third-round pick who has started 11 of 42 games the last three seasons, totaling 113 tackles and an interception.

Asian shares shrugged off early losses on Tuesday, as surging Chinese shares and Wall Street's record close offset continuing worries over Greece's fiscal woes.
Fears of a Greek bankruptcy persisted even as the country's labor minister on Tuesday said Athens would soon conclude a cash-for-reform deal with its lenders, Reuters reported.
The cheer was expected to continue in Europe, where financial spreadbetters expected Britain's FTSE 100 to open up by 12-13 points, or 0.2 percent higher. Germany's DAX was seen opening up by 59 points, or 0.5 percent higher, while France's CAC 40 was expected to open up by 18 points, or 0.4 percent higher.
"European equities are set to rally his morning off of the back of new highs in the Dow overnight," Jonathan Sudaria, a dealer at Capital Spreads, said in a note.
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was up 0.1 percent. The CSI300 index surged 3.4 percent and the Shanghai Composite Index rose 3.0 percent, as investors welcomed Beijing's 2015 guidelines for economic reform that prioritize further opening of the country's capital market and the restructuring of state enterprises.
"You need a vibrant stock market to push forward economic reforms, whether it's about asset securitization or industry consolidation," said Tian Weidong, analyst at Kaiyuan Securities in Xian. "With such a policy backdrop, investors are emboldened to stay in the market."
Japan's Nikkei stock index ended up 0.7 percent at a three-week high.
On Monday, both the Dow Jones industrial average and the S&P 500 closed at record highs, the third straight day for the latter, after lacklustre economic data raised hopes that the U.S. Federal Reserve would hold off raising interest rates.
The National Association of Home Builders said its index of members' sentiment fell to 54 points in May from 56 in April, short of a forecast increase to 57 among economists polled by Reuters.
U.S. Treasuries sank as stocks gained, and higher yields underpinned the dollar. The yield on benchmark 10-year Treasuries notes stood at 2.221 percent, not far from its U.S. close of 2.228 percent on Monday.

Flying from Agen with the British International Championship Club Mark timed his mealy hen GB11J10644 recording a velocity of 1217.585 yards per minute. This was good enough for him to record another national win to go with his numerous wins at national and international level.
A proud fancier holding his national winner
GB11J10644, UK national winner from Agen
The winning pigeon is from a daughter of Southfield Supreme, Mark's international winner from Dax in 2004, when mated to a direct daughter from Marcel Sangers's Lazer Gun. On the sire's side is Marcel Sangers's Super Breeder.
The hen is from the roundabout team and was mated in mid-February. She was allowed to rear a pair of youngsters before being separated and put into the roundabout loft.
Head of the UK national winner from Agen
Play pit balls
The team receives just two training flights a week apart at the start of the season. After that they are expected to fly themselves fit around the loft. If they do not fly for a full hour, they will be flagged to get the time in.
Mark's team is not allowed to see each other before being basketed for the race but is allowed together upon their return. One interesting feature in the hen section of the roundabout loft is the play pit balls that cover the floor. This is to try and prevent the hens from pairing to each other.
The entire team is fed Versele Laga Super Star in the hopper. For the last five feeds before being sent to the middle distance races the birds receive a high fat mix. This includes peanuts, cheese pellets and high energy mix.
Southfield Supreme
The present day team of Mark Gilbert is based around his top pigeon Southfield Supreme, the winner of 1st International Dax against 17400 pigeons. Mark will only bring in top performance pigeons or children very closely related to them. These are then bred back to his champion and have resulted in a very formidable race team.

Do you have a dress code at work? I do. My dress code is
1. Whatever is comfortable; and
2. Allows me easy access to the "good stuff"; and
3. Covers me so that I do not flash the UPS guy.
So, what does this mean? T-shirts, dresses and sometimes when I'm particularly lazy or just plain forget after getting out of the shower a towel or sheet I am the queen of taking a piece of cloth and wrapping it around my body to cover the money shots.
The phone is ringing. Later.

I went for a walk today because it was nice and sunny. I took random photos of what I saw which today was Caernarfon Castle and surrounding area. Be warned a lot of random photos!
Kelly says
WOW, these are breathtaking! I would love to visit a Castle in person, but until I do these pictures are doing justice 🙂
Is it still being used or is it abandoned (I've never understood abandoning a Castle, they're so gorgeous!)

It's now a visitor centre. This castle was one of Edward's castles after he conquered Wales and this one in particular was his HQ if I remember correctly. It's where Prince Charles was crowned Prince of Wales I know that for a fact! I really need to visit the castle visitor centre again. In fact we want to try to visit all of them – Harlech, Criccieth, Conwy, Beaumaris and Caernarfon. It'll be something to do this summer!

I have been looking for some time for a great piece of software to control 8 RGBW static lights. It has to be simple to configure and use, because I'm a newbie to all this.
I came across Sweeltlight, and to be honest I haven't yet found anything else to match it. I tried several others, including FreeStyler, DMXControl, LightJams M-PC (Onyx) etc., but didn't like the control interfaces. LightJams was particularly obtuse, with their grid system.
Anyway, I want to use SweetLight, I like it a lot, but faced with the cost of the Cable interface, I looked around to see if there was an alternative solution more suited to my limited budget.
I found this video on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5s7dLTik9M8 where the software Art-Net to DMX that came with FreeStyler was used to interface M-PC (output Art-Net) to DMX, in my case I have the uDMX device from eBay, which is a supported one.
Thought I would give it a try on SweetLight, converting Sweetlight's Art-Net output to uDMX. but try as I might could not get it to work, the Art-Net to DMX software could not see any Art-Net network, or any DMX data being transmitted. I'm guessing that SweetLight is checking to see if it has one of their supported interfaces connected, and doesn't work without the "proper" one. I can't blame them for doing that, their software is free, so they make their money on the interfaces I presume.
So I need to save up for their Cable interface, it will do what I want it to do.... As I am now retired, it might be a while before I can spend that sort of money....

Digital Marketing Agencies are structured to handle the processes, systems, and workflows that go into running campaigns on various platforms after detailed market research that allows them to understand their target market and designing of their right marketing content.
The perfect and right kind of agency would generate revenues for your business by handling all marketing strategies, covering all areas of Digital Marketing. All this would be done with assured peace of mind for you where you can only focus on what you're good at doing for your business. Although you should be slightly worried about the cost of setting up an in-house marketing team and making a visible online presence.
A good marketing agency should cover 360-degree services with solutions to each and every marketing problem you have. They must have formed a team of experienced professionals who should be excellent in their respective fields, generating outstanding results for their customers.
By creating a worldwide influence and building a global customer relationship with their clients, A top digital marketing agency is the one that covers all of its expenses on its own. The agency should be skillful enough to generate all the financial revenues for its future prospects.
Now the question arises that how is the scaling of digital marketing should be done. For this, we have a number of strategies. We will discuss a few of them to give you an idea.
Decide your Specialization
First of all, do the analysis of your company. Do not choose the fields in which you are still an underachiever for the sake of getting the title of a soc called 360-degree services provider platform. Be specific.
Most of the digital marketing agencies suffer because they are being too generic. A new customer might find it difficult you select you as his chief company if you are offering a lot of services, that too by compromising the quality.
Proper Hiring
It is said,
Hire slow, fire fast
The careful recruitment of professionals is a must. If you are compromising on the quality of experts, ultimately you would have to compromise on the quality of the work.
The opposite case scenario appears when you do the perfect hiring of the staff that will lead you to attract a lot more customers. The quality of the work would be so obvious that it would automatically start generating revenues for you by closing up more marketing deals for you.
Corporate Training
The corporate training can be of two types. One type refers to the system where you arrange your own training programs for your employees while the other type is when you hire some other team of experts to train the employees of your company. This is referred to as In Bound and Out Bound Corporate training respectively.
Invest as much in corporate training as you can because it will ultimately be of greater use for your company. Now you have a team of extremely skilled individuals who will help in increasing productivity, improving the reputation of your company, and will be giving a tough fight to your competitors in the market.
Landing Page Optimization
Before you are planning to provide the services of digital marketing to the customers, try your skills on the landing page of your own company. The web page must be properly optimized according to the SEO requirements only then you would be able to bring traffic on your page. Once you start attracting a notable audience then you can finally start offering your services.
Most of the internet users are online via mobile phones while some lesser percentage of people also use it via their personal computers. Make sure to optimize your page in accordance with both the types. Keep it simple with a readable and understandable content. Avoid making it complex. The users should be easily aware of the services you are going to provide.
Generate a little comparison based survey between you and other competitive companies and conclude by letting the people know that why should they hire you. All these things once completed successfully and efficiently, it will be a greater source for generating revenue for your marketing agency.
Recurring Revenues
The revenue that will be available to you in the future. Start investing in the right places in order to generate recurring revenue for your company. Totally different from the so-called one-off sales, the recurring revenues are stable and predictable to a larger extent.
You can provide some additional services to the client in order to generate more and more. Start offering solutions to their problems concerning the maintenance and development of their web pages, start hosting websites for them along with providing them with the latest software updates and solutions. You can also take help from pay per click feature from Google.
Try impressing the clients by dividing their bills into small parts on installments if the amount is a bigger one to make him feel a little relaxed. And last but not least you can always earn by offering consultancy services according to the requirements of the client.
Strong Social Media Presence
The accessibility to the internet has become so easy that with every passing day, the number of internet users has increased globally. The number of people going online is growing every day, according to a survey conducted in January 2019, there are almost 4.39 billion internet users in 2019, whereas the number of social media users has increased to 3.48 billion since last year.
So with these numbers, it has clearly been understood by the marketers that Traditional Marketing or Offline marketing isn't as effective as it was a few years ago. This is the time to cash in. Make a strong social media appearance for your company by efficiently optimizing it according to the necessary standards.
Experts say that email marketing might be considered as the most effective way in the near future. You need to identify your customers and your market. Try to reach them personally through emails. Hire professionals to do this for you. Once they make a list for you, then you can yourself do the remaining part.
Summing Up:
Before starting a marketing agency you should devise a plan of its scaling. Get ideas of generating your own revenues. Only then you would be able to resist the pressure of a competitive market. The few points that are being mentioned in the above text if implemented correctly, might be able to help you in growing your business in the most productive way possible.
Never forget the objectives you have set for your company. Divide your objectives into small targets and then achieve glory by formulating the marketing strategies carefully.

Packers @ Eagles Postgame
I'd like to throw two "thank-you's" out to the Eagles this week. To Michael Vick- thanks for thinking you're a passing quarterback on 3rd and goal. To Andy Reid- thanks for thinking Vick can run between the tackles on 4th and 1. What was that? We have seven on the line, five of which are inside their ends and they don't get Vick in space? He gashed us for more than a half and you run that play??? Again, thank you.
I'd also like to throw out an apology. In my season preview, I questioned our offensive line and compared Mark Tauscher to an 80-year old man. I'd like to apologize to all 80-year old men. You all have much quicker feet than either of our tackles. Paint dries faster than Tauscher and Clifton.
Any road win in the NFL is gold. Add to it an NFC team you haven't beaten in their hometown since 1962, and there should be little complaining.
One last thing…I also mentioned in the season preview how Brandon Jackson would eventually be asked to be a 1st and 2nd down back. I hate being right.
KEYS TO THE GAME (from my preview)
1) Our defense- It was all-world until Vick was forced into action. Even though Vick moved the chains, the Packers still had 5 sacks, three of which were on Vick. McCoy only had seven carries and they limited DeSean Jackson to four touches on offense for 30 yards. Woodson was Woodson and Matthews was better than last year. Holy crap! His first sack, Matthews looked like a cheetah pouncing on an impala.
2) Special teams- Kudos to the Packers' special teams Sunday. That was one of the top ST performances in recent memory. Across the board: returns, especially KO returns, were solid. Coverage was solid. On punts, we had four punts and Jackson only managed two returns for 11 yards. Very nice. And besides the kick-off out of bounds, Mason Crosby was huge. We'll re-visit him later. Now do it all again this week and prove it wasn't a fluke.
3) Offensive dominance- Perhaps the greatest part of Sunday was that the offense was, in their own eyes, terrible and yet we put 27 points on the board. Rodgers was off most of the day. Grant goes down. Finley found out that teams are going to be forced to double-team him or Rodgers is going to target him EVERY TIME. I see vast improvement Sunday.
4) Andy Reid's gameplan- Wow, the Eagles sucked in the first half. They were setting all kinds of records…in futility. They couldn't get Jackson the ball and Kolb looked like a scared, confused rookie. Vick saved them and created a huge problem in the process. Glad I'm not an Eagles fan.
I'm going with Crosby's 56 yard field goal to end the 1st half. Not only did it put the Pack up two scores going into the half and put all the momentum in Green Bay's favor, but how many of you thought there was any chance that was going through as they were lining up? Come on, 5% of you? Too high? Huge play.
Clay Matthews- I guess Allen Iverson is right. We're talking about practice. 7 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 TFL, and 1 FF. He looked quicker than last year. His dropped interception could cost him the NFL Defensive Player of the Week, but wow, how can I pick anyone else.
2010 Packers Preview
If you remember back to the early 90's, the Packers slowly worked their way up the playoff ladder. Divisional game to NFC Championship game to Super Bowl. They took their painful playoff losses and it prepared them for the next time. 2009 was step one of the playoff ladder for the Aaron Rodgers Packers. Is 2010 the next rung on the ladder, or do they jump all the way to the SB rung?
2010 is quite a different animal than last year's model. Last year, the NFL's 2nd ranked defense was the key to success in Green Bay. This year, the starting defense has yet to play a snap together while the Packers' offense is the talk of the national circuit and Aaron Rodgers is a media darling. Is he a sure thing? Let's see…
1) Aaron Rodgers- Of course he's a sure thing! He's your steady 12% return on investment. No severe ups and downs in his portfolio. He is in complete control of this offense and all of its parts. It's no surprise that many NFL writers have picked Rodgers as the 2010 MVP.
2) Charles Woodson- Being a year older will do Woodson no favors, but you can still close off whatever part of the field Woodson is on. His ability to make plays in the running game and off the blitz are what separate him from Revis Island.
3) Jermichael Finley in Honolulu in January. He's a manchild. There's gotta be an option route for Finley dependant on who lines up across from him. Corner= jump ball, Safety= anything, Backer= anything to the nth power.
4) The end of the line for Shawn Slocum- I understand the failure to go get someone in the return game is not Slocum's fault, but we continue to see the Packers give up field position in special teams. What does it say about your special teams when a guy finally takes it the house on a punt return and is cut nine days later. Ouch babe. If Greg Jennings is out there on Sunday, I'm going to close my eyes. I would say Slocum's gone during the bye in week 10, more because of issues in the coverage game.
5) 11 wins- When you look at the 2010 Packers, you look at one thing. Who can outscore them? I see issues against Minnesota, Dallas, Atlanta, and New England. They'll win some of these and my sure bet is 11-5. I hope they win more, but remember, this schedule is BRUTAL.
1) The O-Line- Someone needs to explain to me how Clifton and Tauscher get out of bed in the morning. Seriously, when Tauscher runs out of the tunnel for starting lineups, I always wonder if he's going to make it. He moves like an 80 year old man. The line was a disaster the first half of last season, and I can't make them a sure thing for 2010.
2) Al Harris and the rest of the secondary not named Woodson- There's a lot to be concerned about in the defensive backfield. Even if Harris is back full strength after his stay on the PUP, the thought of Brandon Underwood or "the one who shall not be named" seeing the field at crunch time makes me nauseous.
3) Brandon Jackson- We keep four tight ends, three fullbacks and only two halfbacks. OK? I'll give you that Jackson has shown flashes of brilliance, but he's going to be on the field A LOT. I think he's an above average 3rd down back, but he's going to be asked at some point this season to be a 1st and 2nd down back. That puts him on the not so sure list.
4) Good field position- Our punter is unproven, our coverage teams can't live up to their name, and a return is deemed successful in Green Bay if we still have the ball when they blow the whistle. Again, we will only get field position through defensive turnovers. How dangerous would the Packers be with a short field every once in a while?
5) A Super Bowl appearance- It's quite evident over the years that you need home field to get to the SB. Of course, the Giants proved to be the exeption a couple years ago, but that was unexplainable. I remember in 1996 and 1997 that it was a sure thing and everyone believed it. They were the best team. We will find out if the 2010 Packers are the best. Can't wait to find out.
Packers vs Seahawks Postgame
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas weekend. I was all over the place and never had time to throw a pregame post together, but on the way up to the game, I told my brother-in-law 38-3, so I was in the ballpark. Quite honestly, I would have to say that the Packers are the hottest team in the NFC right now. They've won 6 of 7, and are playing good football. If you look at the other teams in the NFC, the Saints and Vikings are going the wrong way, the Eagles have been playing well, but they almost tanked it at home Sunday, the Cowboys have won two games in a row (and the win in NO doesn't look so great anymore), and the Cardinals haven't went on a streak all season. I'm liking the Packers chances.
Also congrats to Rodgers, Woodson and Collins on being selected to the Pro Bowl. We all feel Matthews got screwed, but he could still make it. How Orakpo got in over Matthews is beyond me. Their stats are almost the same, but GB is 2nd in total defense and 9th in scoring defense. Washington is 11th and 16th. Must be the high draft choice. Also, how does the #1 run defense in the NFL have no one from the DL or LB crew on the roster? Just wondering. Hopefully, none of this matters, and no Packers play in the Pro Bowl.
Observations from Sunday…
1) Seattle is an embarrassment. I give kudos to Tampa Bay and Cleveland. They are getting better as the season goes along and have shown a tremendous amount of improvement. Seattle has gotten worse. Much worse. Worse than Detroit worse. We really didn't learn much this week about the Packers.
2) The DB who shall not be named got toasted again, then gets a pick and runs his mouth after the game. He basically said "many more to come." The word of the day is "humility." Look it up DB WSNBN.
3) How about the K WSNBN? A perfect day. Now do it when it matters, not when it's 38-3. In all seriousness, hopefully this gets him going.
4) Ryan Grant is over 1200 yards, is averaging 4.4 yds per carry and has 10 touchdowns. Pretty solid body of work, don't you think?
5) After all the crap this season, isn't it nice to be a Packers fan instead of a Vikings fan right now? We're excited for the playoffs to start and feel we can make some noise. Vikings fans might as well compare it to a root canal. Two words for you…He he.
Packers @ Steelers Postgame
Wow, there's a lot to talk about. Heck of a game. Probably the most talked about game on the national circuit today. Heartbreaking finish, but not backbreaking, although as I'm writing this, the Giants are about to go up 14-0 over the Skins. I'm taking a different slant on my postgame today. This game answered some questions but also brought up some new ones.
Questions Answered…
1) Mason Crosby is a full blown train wreck at this point. The Redskins shipped their kicker, the Cowboys theirs (and ironically, picked up Suisham). Crosby's quote, "I don't know what's going on. I've just got to keep watching the film, and hopefully we get out of it here." The film??? Here, let me breakdown the film for you. You suck.
2) Jarrett Bush couldn't cover an 84 year old woman with a walker. End of story. Instead of pointing and yelling "56 is the mike" I swear I saw Roethlisberger point and say "24 is on the field, 24 is on the field" about 6 times Sunday.
3) Tom Silverstein from the JS needs to settle. He wrote that the game Sunday showed the Packers' defense is clearly not ready to go to any of the four NFC divisional leaders. Come on. First off, it was just one of those games. You could tell in the first 10 minutes. I wonder if the Eagles' beat writers wrote the same thing last week after the Eagles gave up 38 to the Giants. Doubt it. Secondly, you just have to outscore 'em by one. One would think Capers will get aggressive the next time.
4) Donald Driver is in full blow up mode. Seriously, he becomes the Packers leader in catches and all of the sudden can't catch a damn thing.
5) I've wondered if the opponents read ROTQ. Obviously they do. I mentioned some players from the Steelers offense in my pregame post. They all had monster games. Everyone of them.
6) We already knew, but Rodgers and Matthews. Holy crap.
Questions that need answering…
1) Why are Crosby and Bush still employed with my season ticket money? At this point I would rather see Gus, the kicking mule trot out onto the field. At least I wouldn't close my eyes on extra points.
2) Why didn't we bring in some fresh defensive linemen once the Steelers crossed the 40? It looked like the first episode of "The Biggest Loser" out there.
3) Does Edgar Bennett get paid for this week? We ran the ball 8 times and scored 36 points. Should have been enough.
4) Why not put Collins or another safety at backer instead of Hawk or Barnett in obvious passing situations? We have nickel and dime packages. What do you call 8 defensive backs…besides prevent?
5) Will the Packers make the playoffs? At this point, you can't hope for the Giants to lose. You have to expect New York to win out. They hold the tiebreak over the Packers. We have to win out. One at a time. Bring on the Seahawks.
One last thing. Crosby and Bush are not to be named from this point on at ROTQ. They are now known as "The one(s) that shall not be named." One last question that needs to be answered. Do either of them have a dog?
Packers @ Steelers Preview
If you are an elite NFL player, and EA Sports comes to you in February, RUN FOR THE HILLS! I'm talking to you Chris Johnson, Drew Brees, and especially Charles Woodson. RUN! The loss of Troy Polamalu to the Madden Curse has destroyed some of the identity of the Steelers' defense. If I'm an owner or GM, I make sure clauses are in contracts. No Madden covers.
Five weeks ago, who would have envisioned the current scenario? The Super Bowl champs have lost five straight and need to win to even have a chance at a wildcard. On the other hand, the Packers have won five straight and could clinch a berth Sunday. This isn't remotely close to a must win for the Packers, but let's do it anyways.
Keys to the Game:
1) Protect Aaron Rodgers. I haven't put this in my keys for awhile, mostly because it hasn't been an issue for the last few weeks. But it's in this week. Rodgers needs to have time to figure out all of the crazy 3-4 stuff the Steelers utilize. Sound familiar? What we love about the Packers D has been going on in Pittsburgh for years. Last week's play of the game: the corner blitz and Collins pick, happened because Cutler was rushed. Give Rodgers the time!!
2) Grant needs 85+ on the ground. The Steelers are #1 in rush defense by .1 yard per game over the Packers. Another great test for our line, our play calling, and our running back. If Grant gets around 100, we're going to have some points on the board, if…
3) Again, the Red Zone, except this time, it's against the #1 RZ defense in the AFC. Not feeling overly confident with this one, unless it's to win the game in the last two minutes. The Steelers' D has turned into a sieve in the 4th quarter this season.
4) Take care of the ball. One of the reasons the Steelers are on life support in Week 15 is their -5 turnover margin. This might be the stat of all stats for Steelers fans this year. We've gotten a little loose with the ball. Hopefully it was a bump in the road.
5) Jennings or Driver need to lead the team in receiving. For defenses right now, the threat is Jermichael Finley. 85 and 80 should get some great one on one matchups Sunday afternoon. They need to deliver.
6) We need a defensive key, don't we? Well, it's really not a key. The Steelers have weapons all over the place and this will be one of the Packers greatest defensive challenges. Mendenhall is having a productive season once he learned the plays. They have two great wideouts in Ward and Holmes, with a third, Wallace, emerging this season. They have a great tight end in Miller and a lineman for a quarterback. How are they 6-7?????
Some other interesting stats…
1) Pittsburgh has won 7 straight home games against the NFC North.
2) The Packers have made 24 field goals this season (24-32), while our opponents have only attempted 13.
3) Jordy Nelson is UP to 3.8 yards per punt return. And no ST Player of the Week???
4) The Packers rank last in net punting at 33.5 yds per punt. Happy trails Slocum.
5) The Packers D has held their opponent under 300 net yards for 6 straight games.
Prediction- Packers 23, Steelers 20
Packers @ Bears Postgame
One of Packers' staff writers wrote a piece yesterday on the Packers needing to improve in the red zone. HELLO! I've been saying it for weeks now. It almost cost them a game Sunday. Let's see…which is more damaging to the Bears: down 21-0 or 13-0? They were 0-2 in the red zone in the first half and had to settle for field goals. Eventually, Crosby is going to start missing field goals inside of 30 yds, and then we're in real trouble.
On a different tone, let's put the game in perspective. The NFL is a short season. Wins are at a premium. We shouldn't ultimately care if it's a good looking win or an ugly win. Especially with the playoffs in the near future, it's all about survival. Be happy with a road win against a divisional rival. Let's see how my keys of the game played out.
1) Make the Bears drive the field. Give the Bears credit. Their two drives were over 60 yards. We gave up three 3rd down conversions of over 9 yards on the first drive. Unacceptable. BUT…they had 12 drives, all of which started in Chicago territory. I'd count this as a win.
2) Contain Greg Olsen. They tried to get him the ball in the 2nd half, but the Packers held him to 2 catches. On a side note, I was impressed with Aromashodu. Big, aggressive receiver. More of a #1 then Hester.
3) RZ offense. Already covered it. They were 1-4 in the RZ, one of them being the kneel down to end the game.
4) Quick start. Up 10-0 in the first, could have been more, but they really dominated the first half.
5) Learn from the Steelers. The Packers were pretty solid over all, although it was closer then it should have been. Too many mistakes. Thankfully, Cutler turned into Cutler in the 4th quarter.
A couple of other things…
1) My brother-in-law texted me after the Packers first play from scrimmage. "Between the tackles". Good to see the Packers brass is also reading ROTQ.
2) Good to see another team have penalty problems. The Bears had 13 for 109 yards.
3) Donald Driver needs to pick it up. He was out of it against the Ravens, and seemed out of the game plan Sunday.
4) Two officials comments. First, that was a touchdown to Jennings. They would have called it a fumble if it happened on the 30. It's no different then guys losing the ball after they cross the goal line and it's still a TD. Second, the Bears were called for a false start prior to their 4th down play at the end of the game. They had no timeouts. Where was the 10 second runoff and why didn't they start the clock? The Bears were allowed to huddle up. Huge mistakes that could have helped the Bears. Inexcusable.
5) Does Lovie Smith really know the rules of football? Every time I watch the Bears, he does something that makes you wonder what is going on in his head. The new rule is quite clear. Olson, when hitting the ground, has to maintain possession. He wasted two timeouts on that play.
6) Anyone else lose their lunch when they saw Woodson laying on the ground with what seemed like a separated shoulder or torn pectoral? WHEW!
7) The Packers signed Brandon Chillar to an extension Monday. Note to TT- You better take care of Nick Collins. NOW.
8) Play of the game- 13:39 in the 4th, 14-13 Bears. The pick by Collins on 3rd and 5. Capers called the corner blitz at least 4 times Sunday and Tramon Williams forced a bad throw. HUGE PLAY. In my opinion, one of the biggest plays of the year. The score by Grant put the Packers up for good and ultimately put the Packers in the playoffs.
Packers @ Bears Preview
The stat of Week 13 involves the Packers' opponent, the Chicago Bears. Last Sunday, Jay Cutler had 131 yards passing in the first quarter. He finished with 143 yards for the game. 12 yards! In 3 quarters! Against the Rams! At home! Somebody tell the Packers D to settle. Down boy.
On paper this is no contest. Emotionally, this is no contest. The Bears have nothing to play for. The Packers still have an outside shot at the NFC North, but more importantly, are trying to lock up a wildcard. The Bears are a statistical nightmare at this point, while the Packers have really put it together.
Keys to the Game
1) Make the Bears drive the field. Johnny Knox is averaging 29.4 yds per kickoff return. Take care of him. I don't see the Bears capable of putting together a 12 play, 86 yard drive at this point. They don't have the weapons. Forte is averaging 3.4 yds per carry, and Cutler has no weapons and even less confidence. Crap such as long returns, fumbled kickoffs, and dropped passes deflected into interceptions are the only ways Chicago will stay in this game.
2) Contain Greg Olsen. Yep, the tight end. He is great talent, a big target and the only guy Cutler will be able to look for. We may even see Woodson on Olson more than on their wideouts.
3) Red Zone offense. The Packers are getting some national attention as a Super Bowl contender. Their RZ ineptitude will keep them out. They will have to outscore Minnesota or New Orleans. You know what I mean. Field goals will not work.
4) Quick start. The last two road games (Tampa Bay and Detroit) have seen the Packers let inferior opponents stick around. Would love to see a 14-0 start going into the 2nd quarter.
5) Learn from Thursday night. Pittsburgh was in a must win situation. On the road. Against a lesser opponent. Within their division. They lost to the Browns and are basically out of the playoff picture. Don't let it happen Sunday.
Some other interesting facts…
1) The Packers remain #1 in total defense, #1 vs. the pass, #1 in TO margin, and #2 vs. the rush. The last time the Packers D was ranked #1 this late in the season was 1996. Omen?
2) Clay Matthews was named Week 13's Defensive Player of the Week. He becomes part of the first father/son duo in NFL history to each be named Player of the Week.
3) Since 2000, the Packers have the 3rd best December/ January record in the NFL at 31-12. Only the Patriots and Steelers have better records.
Prediction- Green Bay 27, Chicago 9
Packers vs Ravens Postgame
Was that the worst officiated game in NFL history? Granted, you had two of the most aggressive defensive backfields in the game today going at it, but that was ridiculous. Some were legit, but the two on Williams in the end zone should lead to a suspension for the officials who made the calls. Without those two calls, the Ravens don't score. Huge statement game for the Packers. They were even getting props from Vikings fans on the message boards. WOW. Let's look at how my keys to the game stacked up…
1) Contain Ray Rice. A dominant win in this category. He had 33 yds on the ground going into the last drive and only 17 yds receiving. Toughest running back they will have to face until the 2nd round of the playoffs.
2) Woodson on Mason. Good Lord. 6 targets. 2 catches for 13 yds. Give him the award now. On a related note, Tramon Williams is becoming a STUD. He was locked up on Clayton, who had 1 catch on 7 targets.
3) Run the ball. Team-wise, not bad. Ryan Grant's stats were terrible. I don't understand McCarthy's fascination with the stretch play. Grant is not a stretch runner, he's a between the tackles, lower the shoulder runner. His longest runs were between the tackles. I put most of the blame on McCarthy…and the Ravens D.
4) Take care of the ball. We came out on the positive side of this stat, but 3 turnovers is unacceptable. The first Rodgers pick was a Favre. Don't mind it on 3rd down, but that pick was on 1st down. Thankfully, our D stepped up.
A couple of other observations…
1) At the game Monday, I told my brother-in-law after the 2nd Finley TD, "This is usually the time we give up a huge KO return." As it was happening, he turned and just stared at me. What can I say, except, if I can call it, Slocum needs to go.
2) One of the staples of our offense is the quick slant. Over the last few weeks, Rodgers has been terrible on this pass. He's behind, low, ahead; everything but in stride. This needs to get fixed. He missed some big plays Monday.
3) I have a man crush on Clay Matthews. The guy just makes plays. 6 tackles, 2 sacks and a forced fumble Monday night.
4) Is Finley the next Gates, the next Gonzalez? I say YES!
5) Red Zone continues to be a struggle. 6 drives, only 3 touchdowns.
6) Anyone on the face of the earth have the slightest bit of confidence in Mason Crosby right now? You can't even watch at this point.
7) Play of the game- 24-14, 9:46 left in the 4th. Woodson's tackle on McGahee on 1st and goal at the 1. He had NO ANGLE, and somehow made the play. It forced the Ravens to throw on 2nd down and Williams picked it off in the endzone, deflating the Ravens' chances.

The 7 Symptoms that Prove You Are in Fat Burning SUBSCRIBE: https://youtu.be/nE2uhv-ZCSw : Take Dr. Berg's Free Keto Mini-Course: http://pxlme.me/-i717vtY or go here: http://bit.ly/2RmaFDS

In this video, Dr. Berg talks about the 7 symptoms that prove you are in fat burning (ketosis).
1. Cognitive (memory, focus, concentration, attention span)
2. Mood (less irritable, less edgy, high tolerance to stress)
3. Energy (the need for sleep goes down)
4. No Cravings (to carbs, sugar, starches, etc.)
5. Not Hungry (you can go long periods of time without eating)
6. Waist Size Reducing
7. Weight Loss
Most of the time people would focus more on the weight loss part and ignoring all the benefits, but remember that "It's getting healthy first then lose the weight" and part of the "get healthy" process is stimulating the anabolic hormones that involve taking protein for repairing tissue in the body to rebuild atrophy.

Ok, so there's this show on tv that Mommy loves to watch. It's about these people who go to places that other people say are haunted and they try to find ghosts. The main 2 guys on the show are really plumbers for Roto Rooter. Well, Daddy has a cousin who works for Roto Rooter and he knows these 2 guys from the show. So Mommy goes to get the mail and there's a big envelope from Roto Rooter. When she opened it, she found this autographed picture of the 2 guys from the show! Daddy's cousin found out how much Mommy likes the show, so he got an autographed picture for her! Wasn't that nice!
That was a nice surprise for Mommy since she's feeling so icky. Now back to snuggling with her to make her feel even better :-)

First Runner Up in Sub Six Banner Contest
Recently, I entered an illustration contest just for fun. I've decided to get my work out there more this year, so it would be a fun way to play and work on my skills. It was for a Facebook Banner for Sub Six. The assignment was to draw a wild animal that represents the group which is basically support for children's book creatives (AKA the subtitle of the banner). I chose a turtle because you have to be patient in the publishing business. It's not typically a quick & easy journey. There will be many ups & downs and times when you don't think it's possible, but you have to dig deep and continue if that's what makes you happy. Well, I'm so excited to announce that I was First Runner Up! I'm so proud of that! There were so many amazing illustrators from different countries. The winner is from Thailand and the Second Runner Up is from Chile. Pretty darn cool!! :) Here's my design. I hope it makes you happy.

January 2019 was an exciting month in the vegan world in so many ways. Brand new products hit the shelves, huge brands bought out their own offerings, and a record-breaking number of people took part in Veganuary.
But we mustn't let all the excitement allow us to lose sight of what's most important – that it was an exciting month for me. Here's my rundown of all the vegan food I ate, bought, cooked, ate, sold,
ate and loved in January 2019.
January 2019 saw my 21st, my cousin's 18th, and my Dad's 50th birthdays. Somehow totally unintimidated by this, my Grandma threw us all a huge party at the start of the month, complete with a 3-tiered vegan birthday cake from Power of Health. What a baller.
From bottom up – as multiple glasses of Prosecco went – there's chocolate brownie sponge, carrot cake, then apple + walnut at the top. I had a slice of every tier, and took home a Tupperware-full for good measure. Don't judge me – who has ever refused food from their grandmother?
As though in a bid to outdo my Grandma (bold move), Greggs bought out a vegan sausage roll. It's flaky, it's tasty, it contains more protein than its meaty cousin, and it only costs a quid. More satisfying than any of this is how upset it made Piers Morgan. Happy days all round.
I was kept pretty busy in my job as a vegan chef throughout the month, one of my favourite bookings being a private dinner party for six meat-eating men. Their lovely reactions put the aforementioned sausage roll hater to shame. You can read about the evening here.
Arriving to give me more excuses to overeat, my anniversary with my lovely partner rolled around. We celebrated at Cafe Forty-One, a fully vegan, fully phenomenal, French patisserie where we opted for the afternoon tea.
Think inventive takes on finger sandwiches, delicately produced miniature desserts and bee-free honey, jam and coconut cream to load onto scones. Try not to think of the two of us sat in the corner, moaning with delight after each mouthful.
Turning to home-cooking, I became utterly obsessed with making chickpea scramble. Who can resist a quick, easy, hot vegan breakfast at home?!
Quick, easy, hot things are always the best, after all.
Throughout most of the month, I worked with a client who wanted a New Year detox. I had lots of fun creating exciting weekly menus that were rooted firmly in health and nutrition. I also enjoyed making double portions of everything so I could eat right along with her, so I know for a fact I managed to hit my goal of "detox, but delicious"
Finally, we come full circle with yet more cake. From the same place as the first on this list, in fact. It was so delicious that we ignored the irony of the name 'power of health' and ordered a second for my birthday at the end of the month. I ate more than I can willingly admit to on this list over my birthday weekend, so you can read about it here. You're welcome, reader. I'm sorry, body.
A sad, notable exception from my list is a pizza from Papa John's, who started serving up vegan cheese at the end of this month, and who are consistently selling out at my local! I'll take it as a win for demonstrating vegan demand, and accept that I did have plenty of amazing food to eat nonetheless. Still, I can't help hoping for a slice in February…

Less than two hours into the holiday of Lag B'Omer and firefighters from around the region have been called to a massive fire that broke out in the Ramot Forest northwest of Jerusalem.
The catalyst for the blaze was a bonfire that was lit outside of the specified and permitted area. In spite of the many warnings issued by the Fire Department and the City of Jerusalem not to light bonfires outside of specified areas or in close proximity to forested areas, houses, thorns, or apartment buildings, dozens of such fires were lit across the city, according to a spokesperson from the Fire Department.
One of these fires ignited a large fire that has begun rapidly spreading towards the Ramot Forest. Residents of the area have been evacuated from the immediate vicinity of the flames and firefighters have begun combatting the blaze in an attempt to control it and put it out.
***NOTE: YWN is covering Lag B'omer festivities in Meron and around the globe and posting pictures and videos in live time on our WhatsApp status. Click this link – or send a message to 1-888-4-YW-NEWS (888-499-6397) – to see our status posts****
Mevaseret, a town not too far away from the Ramot Forest, issued a warning to all residents prohibiting the lighting of any bonfires anywhere in the city or its outskirts. The municipality attached a fine of 495 NIS to anyone caught lighting a bonfire or attending one.

Earlier, a large brush fire was burning in the Mevasseret Tzion area of the Jerusalem Corridor.
The fire began on Wednesday afternoon, with an initial response of five fire trucks from the Beit Shemesh station. The Motza exit on the highway in the westward direction was closed and police were rerouting motorists.
According to the scene fire commander, Fire Department Superintendent Zechariah Refael, the fire is significant in size are now efforts are concentrating on controlling it, to prevent it from spreading. Firefighting planes have already been called in to assist in containing and extinguishing the fire.
Weather conditions are unfortunately ideal for the fire to spread easily, as it has been hot and dry in recent days, with temperatures in Jerusalem on Wednesday afternoon reaching 34C (94F). This has the fire department most concerned as Thursday's forecast, Lag B'Omer, calls for 'sharav' heat-wave conditions, with temperatures possibly reaching the high 90sF.
