In Episode 049, Jack has interviewed Mr Darin Steen, who is a best-selling author, a motivational speaker, an expert in fat loss, fitness, gaining muscle, aging gracefully, and is the more sought after "Reach Your Full Potential Coach" for individuals over 8 countries. We will find out how Darin works with his high-end clients who paid him a lot of money for his services especially finding their physical fitness and eating plans that work for his clients.
Why Do I Say 52 Years Young instead of 52 Years Old?
"Any word that someone thinks or says has made him feel in a certain way. When most people in their forties and fifties say they're this old that doesn't make their old. I choose words to think and say that it makes me feel young and feel good. So it makes you smile and it makes you feel so good to say I'm 52 years young and we want to try to do that. We want to get in the habit of that throughout the day and you would be amazed at how your thoughts and your words will dictate your life."
How Do I Work With My Premium Clients?
"My clients are not bodybuilders. I've had over 700 people graduate from my 12 week transformation program where I do online with people all over the world and in my brick and mortar building here in Chicago are entrepreneurs because I charged very high fees because you get a better customer, you make more money, you work less and help more people because they follow through.
My clients are busy entrepreneurs who are stressed out 40 years old, midlife crisis. The doctor says they're gaining 20 or 30 pounds because they're working so hard, 70 or 80 hours a week. Why is health so important? What we all want wealth, but we work 70, 80 hours a week. Really? You're working 24 hours a day as an entrepreneur you're never able to shut it off ever and you don't even sleep some nights, so it's more than 70 hours. So we worked our butts off especially at first to get the money and then we get sick and then we got to spend our money to get our health back and a lot of people can't even do that because they buy into the like the western doctors, surgeries, medications, and that's not how you're going to get your health back to the doctors. No offence. They are generally in the sickness business and people like myself are in the health business, so I want to help entrepreneurs not to do that vicious cycle I just described.
Faith (Not Fake) It to Make It ...
"Why put out that energy that I don't believe in my product and you have to have a faith. You have to have faith. Don't say "fake it to make it!" but "faith it to make it" because faith makes my core field good, right? So don't say and think words that make your core feel bad and if you are really serious about this, pay a mentor. Take the short path to where you want to go and just get there. Get the job done in one year or six months. If someone hires a mentor that's good with the technology in six months to two years, they they can create a to $300,000 a year business. If not a million dollar business. It's very possible, but you're not. You're going to waste five, 10 years if you don't take the short path."

In Episode 048, Jack has interviewed Ms. Kay Sanders, who is an Intuitive Business Coach, Bestselling Author and known as the Creator of Possibilities, about why mindset is such an important piece of growing a business and how one can determine if his mindset is the problem or the things he is doing.
Kay helps conscious entrepreneurs to find that missing piece to create momentum in their Business and re-ignite their Manifesting Mojo so they can make a difference in the world, create more freedom in their life and tap into the magic and power of manifesting their hearts desire.
What happened when Kay moved from Germany to the US in 2006?
"I came to the US in 2006 with my now ex-husband. He was in the military and met him over there. And he actually got stationed in Texas, so I came with him, I thought it was going to be a great life and happy family and all that stuff. But unfortunately that wasn't the case. My ex- husband left me and my son two months after we got here. Basically I was stranded here, no family, no support, and my ex-husband at that time tried to destroy me literally. And he was trying to get into port and everything, but I was too hard headed.
I would have had to go back to school but I didn't really want to do that. I had that deep desire, I want to be my own boss again. I mean in Germany I had my own business. I had my own money and all that. So when I came here, they will always say America, I mean the land with the unlimited opportunities."
The Big Lesson for Kay in Her Coaching Business
"I really got into the world of coaching. It took me a few years because I literally what I was doing until I got certified as a personal development coach. That's when I rebrand into business coaching but then still I did all the right things that I need to do to grow my business, marketing myself and all these things, learn about sales and all of those things that you do in your business, but nothing was working. It was like really banging my head against the wall. I didn't know what was going on. And my coach at that time told me that it's not about what you're doing and your business but "who you need to become" in order to become successful. That's when things really shifted for me. It took me a while to kind of realize what he meant with that.
Mindset is everything
"I mean mindset is like everything and mindset is attached to everything that you're doing in business in life. If you have that self worth issue or fear of success or not feeling good enough, it's gonna show up in everything that you're doing. So if you are trying to attract clients or are trying to make money, it's going to put that barrier up and you're not going to do anything. You're not going to manifest anything. I mean that's like the five steps that I always teach my clients."
Kay's Most Favourite Quote
"Your message is meant to be heard, do not hide your gifts, your message, or yourself behind the illusions that your message is not worth sharing."

In Episode 047, Jack has invited Mr. Vernon Brown from What's Your Happi? to discuss how a person can multiply happiness in life and what roles energy plays in performance and results.
Vernon has 15 years' experience as being a trainer and the happiness and success coach. He has proven background in his transformational lifestyle vision and mental clarity, having coached thousands of clients across the country.
What happened when Vernon turned 20?
"It dates back to when I was first born. So about 20, I was not getting a lot of what I really wanted out of life. I was an odd duck. I was just such a shorter. I was worse than my peers. I was more overweighed than my peers and it just made it tough to fit in with everyone. It was kind of the odd and on top of that, I'm the middle child and we just didn't have a lot of money. So what that did for me was to put me in this place where happiness was not real. When I turned 20, things just clicked. I recognised that I had way more controlled in what I did when I did when I was younger. I went after the things I told that I could not have - happiness. I just grew into myself if I'm a fan of my legs and less wounds so to speak. And so when I went to school, I initially started with animation and from there I set way into psychology and then when I got done with school, I want it to feel getting more attraction in this world."
What's Happiness actually in Vernon's terms?
"It's about understanding the way energy works ... to see more options, opportunities, possibilities and solutions. It opens you up to seeing things from such a different perspective. When I'm working with the clients, initially they seem stuck. They might not have a quite understanding of what's going on, but after two to three sessions, what happens is that they become more energised. Happiness is not about just smiling and laughing and it's about understanding of energy. And what that does is it bridges the gap between whatever the circumstances you might go in through the circumstance you're going through or the understanding that you have and generate from it. And it takes you from having that singular focus on "I can't do anything" to "I have so many more options"
First step to raise Happiness
"The first step is to practice being happy. I know it sounds funny, but we don't think about it. You'll get it up and say, I can't wait to see this guy because I'm going to tell it to him or her off. And it's like, how about we practice get into the biggest check that you've had in your life."

In Episode 046, Jack interviewed Mr. Abhi Golhar who is a successful investor in single-family developments and multi-family apartment complexes. He has also been able to build several successful businesses from the ground up. Now, Abhi enjoys talking about entrepreneurship and real estate investing on YouTube, his blog, and as the Host of Think Realty Radio, a nationally syndicated radio show on The Wall Street Radio Network. In this interview, Abhi will share how he becomes an entrepreneur and a real estate investor and the lessons he can share with other business owners and entrepreneurs.
This is how Abhi embarked on his entrepreneurship journey
"After I graduated, I had a bunch of job offers and I didn't take any of them. I just said I'm not going to do it. And they were really good job offers everything on the west coast from all the big names that you can imagine. Even from a couple of consulting companies and I just didn't want to do it and that could have been maybe my personality that could have been I saw something in my future and I didn't really know what it was at the time and I wanted to take a chance on myself and the even though I still invest in business and real estate today, I'll tell you something - I'm really passionate about startups. I love investing in businesses, turning businesses around and getting more into the mindset of why we should even start a business to begin with. And so listening to podcasts like yours and just seeing your, your success and your growth is super cool."
Lesson 1: What you tell yourself in the morning:
"Every morning I wake up, I go for a run, I meditate, I write in my journal and it is totally empowering for me. That is my golden time. I work here. I'll wake up generally between 4:30 and 5:00 in the morning and I hit it. You know I like to workout. I like to talk to myself and I say awesome things like, holy cow, I'm so excited to be alive. It's amazing. I can't wait to help somebody else. I'm taking advantage of opportunity, but I'm also creating impact and I think the other part of it is recognizing what's actually happening. So if you, if you're growing a garden, let's say you have tomatoes in your garden, you have mint, you have mangoes in your garden, and you realize that there are weeds, some weeds in your garden."
Lesson 2: I don't care what you think!
"I don't give a shit like what you think. What I want you to do is to keep your opinions about what I'm doing to yourself because I didn't ask you for your opinion. If you have something, if you have something positive to say, then let's talk about it. If you don't have anything positive to say, then you can talk amongst. Yeah, you can talk amongst yourselves. You can talk behind my back. I don't care. I don't need to hear it because I'm gunning for something awesome. And the moment that people realize that though, he's actually serious about doing his stuff, then they'll lay off. But you'd have to get serious about you first. You have to believe in yourself and you have to understand that you're worth it."
Lesson 3: How to bring success in our entrepreneurship journey -
"I would say watch what you're putting in your mind. Learn, pay attention to the right podcasts like yours to really get out there and say, what can I do to learn a network? And that's more so for your mindset.
The second thing is network. Go to local meetup groups. See who else is in the community, learned from these people. Find a mentor there. If you're listening and you think to yourself, you know, hey, I want to be a successful entrepreneur one day or a small business owner and the and my favorite business that I want to run as a restaurant. Well Great. Go to a restaurant that's your favorite restaurant and speak with the owners, speak with the chef, learned from the get go".

I am a producer. I have produced a documentary completely independently, with just a few key people and a skeleton production crew which we then sold to a major independent distributor without premiering at any of the major market festivals. We had no major stars and a limited budget, but the film played theatrically in limited release throughout the country. It was featured in most major press outlets as well as hit somewhere in the top 25 of iTunes. The DVD comes out in August. You can preorder MY AMITYVILLE HORROR on Amazon now or search it on Google to check out what other people say about it, for better or worse. I just want to tell you about some of the process it took to get to this point. If even a tiny little bit of what I did right or wrong will help someone else to succeed on their project, then that makes everything all the better. Karma in filmmaking goes far.
How did I do it? The answer is decidedly not sexy. It was excruciatingly hard work, often (and usually) on top of a full time position. I could not have done it without the preceding years of experience in various areas of "the industry", not to mention the years of networking which has caused a great hole in my bank account. Let's also not forget that I am extremely lucky. But all of that is beside the point. Let's get to it. We're going to go down the rabbit hole exactly as I did, from preproduction to where the film is now, awaiting acquisition in the international marketplace. Please pardon me if your questions are not specifically answered, but leave them in the comments and I will address them as best I can; it's hard to remember everything over three years and counting.
I had just gotten off of an associate producing gig that was less than ideal when a college friend told me a friend of his was looking for a producer for his documentary. Hesitant at the thought of the interminable amount of time involved in documentary work as well as how generally difficult it is to sell docs, I agreed only to a meeting.
The meeting was at the director's house with the other producer attending. Eric, the director/producer, was extremely passionate about his subject and showed me some sizzle footage he had shot on a previous shooting trip to New York. John, the other producer, was more silent but still offered comments on budget and legal.
I remained hesitant but when I was told that it would be about the oldest son of the family that the Amityville Horror is based on and his personal experience growing up in that famous "haunted house", I was hooked. I felt that between Eric's sensibilities and the subject matter, that if ever there was a completely independent documentary that had a chance to sell, this was it. I didn't want to let on immediately though, so told them both I needed some time to think. Eric likes to remind me of this now, of course. Anyway, he gave me a good amount of further research and materials to look at and I went home after several hours of discussion. I think it was the next day, but it may have been up to three, before I said yes.
From then on out, we met for hours upon hours, usually on the weekends. This began in September 2010, but I lost my job in November and we began meeting daily as Eric was working evenings. It became common place for Eric's roommates to see me there at all hours of the day and night. The meetings were often just Eric and I as John had an hour commute to where we were, so they were very freeform. We discussed ideas, Amityville in general, as well as new sources and possible threads we could investigate. We talked a lot about how we could create visual interest so that it wasn't just a bunch of talking heads. There was a lot of conversation surrounding whether we wanted to incorporate recreations or not (we chose not to). We were concurrently coming up with promotion ideas, most of which were never used, but there was already a website and Facebook page that would be updated as regularly as there was anything to post. We tracked films that were similar and started to put together a true production plan.
Neither of us had produced a feature length documentary before but that didn't faze us. (Perhaps it should have; oh, the bliss of ignorance!) Regardless, Eric had a treatment and idea of where he wanted to go, which of course changed immeasurably as we lost or gained access to subjects, locations, footage. I arranged meetings with anyone in my network that I could think of that would give us advice including other documentary producers and assistants to larger profiled directors. I created lengthy lists of things to do and worked with John to prepare budget after budget, production schedule after production schedule. We were prepping as we were determining when we would shoot as we had limited budget and limited time. I was also constantly interviewing for new jobs and the threat of consistent employment always hung over our heads. We finally decided to shoot in New York in February 2011.
A lot of people ask about where we found the financing. In our case, the executive producers were people who were aware of the content matter previously and came on board shortly after initial pitching and budgetary work. However, I don't think there is any great secret to financing a film. You literally just have to find the money. Whether that is through established Hollywood avenues, Kickstarter or asking everyone you know and everyone you meet, it's a delicate art of explaining your vision and being a hustler. That isn't to say it's easy at all, it's just not rocket science. We likely would never have found financing under the Hollywood model.
Once we settled on the shooting dates, it became the logistical nightmare that all UPM and Line Producers are well aware of; however, it was John, Eric and I handling everything. Thankfully, much of the legal paperwork was being handled by John, which freed Eric and I up for logistics. Negotiation for hotel rates, figuring out whether we were going to go guerrilla or get permits, determining what equipment and cameras we would use, how much we were going to allot for meals, creating a schedule – all very exciting but everything requires so much conversation that it becomes tedious. Doing all of this from California made it even more difficult because we couldn't afford to location scout ahead of time and so could not truly account for the time it would take to move crew so our scheduling was very loose by necessity. We also consistently had subjects that would initially agree to participate and then drop out so we would scramble to make up the difference, hoping to be able to amass enough in our abbreviated time to shoot to flesh out the ideas that were conceptualized in those meetings. There were also those that we were hoping would participate in the filming once we were there, but we didn't have true confirmation.
We had grids for everything and consistently updated them, along with the myriad lists and overall production book that we guarded with our life. We tried to plan for as many contingencies as we could. The inherent difference between narrative and documentary is that you can talk, plot, conceptualize, plan and map out as much as you like, but after a certain point, there's nothing more that you can do because there is no actual script that you can break down. You just have to trust the people you are working with and your gut because once you are shooting, there's no going back. Getting on the plane to New York with John and Eric was one of the most terrifying and exciting moments of my life. We didn't sleep. All we did was hash out, again and again, every single aspect of the plans we had made. For the entire five plus hour flight. We must have been hell for the people sitting around us as it was a red eye direct from LAX to La Guardia.

Whenever I come up with an idea for The Stop Button, it's never a fundamental change in how the site operates. It's always just going to be about the movie responses. It's never even going to be about just good movies, because I'm going to go back to those "Perry Mason" TV movies. It's inevitable. So I always feel limited with what I'm going to do with the site. Projects are side projects or finite and scheduled. With the Superman dry run last year and now the John Carpenter twofer, I feel a little more correct in my latest scheme—longer form "history of film" type posts. I'd been considering them similar to the trade paperback responses I'm doing on Comics Fondle, but they're different. The format's still maturing—I don't have branding I like and never will, most likely, I've always been bad at branding site features. But I like it. I like the format, I like writing the posts, I can even see myself editing them someday. Maybe.
I've had a somewhat unexpected day. Lots of twists and turns even though it was otherwise chill. But it didn't give me time to think much about starting the new Maugham novel for the month, The Painted Veil. I didn't get the latest Flintstones read. I may have played some video games. More and more, I'm finding myself detach mentally on my weekends. It's sort of problematic—and it happened this weekend more than any other, just because of real life busyness—and I'm finding myself confused by where my mind went. I had no plans for today, with yesterday's getting somewhat screwed up after I discovered the first Stop Button post was lost. Sure, it helped me get to the resulting one, but I worked hard on that first post. Today was supposed to be mellow. I just didn't expect it to be mellow. And it wasn't entirely, but tolerably.
I'm always telling people to take mental health breaks—and I took that advice myself recently—but figuring out when you need one can be difficult sometimes. You just want to make something happen and your brain isn't there for you.

The Western Mustangs' men's hockey team has added six players to their roster for the 2018-19 season. All of them had Ontario Hockey League experience.
Ethan Szypula, Kyle Langdon, Kenny Huether, Alex Di Carlo, William Lochead and David Ovsjannikov will join Clarke Singer's team for the Ontario university season.
Langdon, Szypula, and Huether are forwards while Lochead and Di Carlo are defencemen. Ovsjannikov will battle incumbent netminder Luke Peressini.
Szypula grew up in London but spent the past five seasons with the Owen Sound Attack playing in 320 games.
Lochead is also from London and played with the Niagara IceDogs. He also played with Ridley College.
Langdon is from Thorold and played four seasons with the IceDogs.
Huether joins his brother Ray on the Mustangs. Kenny played with the Oshawa Generals, winning a Memorial Cup with the team in 2015.
Di Carlo was Huether's teammate on the Generals for two years.
He began his OHL career in the 2013-14 season with the Plymouth Whalers and moved with them to Flint, Mich., before going to Oshawa.
The 6-foot-6 Ovsjannikov finished his junior career playing with the Junior B London Nationals of the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League. Earlier in his career he played with the Saginaw Spirit and Barrie Colts.

Laparoscopy means 'examination of the abdomen' and is the term used for the endoscopic examination of the abdomen either for diagnostic procedures or treatment. In specific circumstances this 'key-hole' surgical technique can provide a number of advantages over standard surgery.
The key-hole technique usually involves two or three small incisions rather than the single large incision used with standard surgery.
It can be used for neutering female dogs, neutering cryptorchid (with undescended testicles) male dogs and cats, and for taking biopsies (sampling) of specific organs.
Advantages of laparoscopy over conventional surgery include:
- Reduced pain from the surgical wounds
- Smaller surgical wounds
- A faster return to normal activity, due to improved patient comfort and reduced scar tissue formation
Laparoscopic neutering
Laparoscopic or key-hole spays also carry the added benefit of reduced post operative pain due to intra-abdominal handling of the tissues and the lack of the need to break down the ovarian ligaments (suspension cords) to allow visualisation of the ovaries.
The procedure involves making three small (two of 5mm and one of 10mm) incisions and the removal of the ovaries (ovariectomy), leaving the uterus (the womb) in place. Standard open surgical spaying involves removal of the ovaries and uterus together (ovario-hysterectomy).
The key-hole procedure is quicker, less involved and less painful than the standard spay. There is no evidence that leaving the uterus behind results in any increased risk of incontinence or womb infection in the future when compared to conventional surgery.
Closure of the wounds will routinely be done with absorbable sutures in the skin; there is no need for suture removal afterwards.
If you are interested in learning more or booking your dog in for neutering please contact any of our surgeries for more information. We offer complimentary pre neutering appointments to discuss the most appropriate procedure for your pet. All laparoscopic operations are performed at our Storrington surgery.


text: An excellent, short biography cobbled of artist Paula Modersohn-Becker out of a collection of letters and journals. She lived a short life (1876–1907), marrying a widower (Modersohn) in 1901 and then spending most of her final six years trying to create a space alone to paint, traipsing off to Paris to escape the muddy winters of northern Germany. Her death, like so many others, brought on after giving birth, that most dangerous of activities. Her friendship with Rilke gives the most color to this biography, his rapturous letters and poignant "Requiem for a Friend" written on the year anniversary of her death. A wonderful effort by Marie Darrieussecq to bring Paula to life for us a hundred years later, giving us just enough detail to make us realize how much we missed by her not living longer.

Using signal processing and machine learning to study complex diseases
Texas A&M University faculty-researcher Xiaoning Qian is utilizing signal processing and machine learning tools to decipher which genes are critical to understand and predict disease progression so that biologists can use that information to develop new disease management practices.
Modern biological experiments provide a large amount of data. Big biomedical data involves data sets that are more complex than what the traditional data-processing software can handle. In this case, these diseases offer complex data sets that require appropriate mathematical models and analytic methods to understand.
How genetic differences and environmental stress change the living system is a question Qian is out to answer. In order to begin his analysis, biologists provide him with various affected gene data sets. From there, he and his students develop models and algorithms to analyze the data provided. The goal is to identify important genes and decode which genes are intertwined and which trigger the system response, for example in immune pathways.
"We need to help this gene identification procedure," said Qian, assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Texas A&M University. "We need to have the statistical methods and computational algorithms to look at the data, to analyze the data, and then try to identify the change specifically due to different genetic and environmental perturbations."
Qian's goal is to develop analytic methods leading to biologically meaningful messages that can be validated by other researchers. Ultimately this could lead to the development of a user-friendly software for biologists to easily get the information they need. Right now they are in the early stage of developing methods to effectively analyze genomic data. One way they are working to develop these methods is by incorporating Bayesian methods.
"The idea of Bayesian is that if you base your analysis on a limited number of data samples, there is lots of uncertainty," Qian said. "You don't want to ignore that uncertainty – you want to incorporate that uncertainty in your analysis to make sure your derived results are robust."

Business Energy Saving Scheme
The Department for Enterprise is pleased to announce that our 'Green Loan scheme' has been improved and re-named the 'Business Energy Saving Scheme'.
Under the 'new' scheme the eligibility criteria has been relaxed and the application process made easier. This means that more local businesses will be able take advantage of our interest-free loans.
Investing in energy efficiency makes sound business and environmental sense, especially with the easy, affordable and flexible interest-free loans offered by the Department for Enterprise.
The Business Energy Saving Scheme offers unsecured interest free loans to all types of businesses looking to become more energy efficient and lower their energy costs. The 100% interest free loans can be used towards the cost of projects that improve energy efficiency and can be arranged from £1,000 up to a maximum of £20,000 per project with repayment terms up to 5 years. There is also a 'fast-track' application option for loans under £5,000.
Business energy saving scheme statistics
Between Feb 2012 and December 2018 the former 'Green Loans Scheme' received 95 enquiries. From these, 44 submitted applications with 25 subsequently approved for loans. The total value of loans approved by the end of 2018 exceeded £250,000.
Type of projects covered
Many types of energy saving projects are eligible for support. Examples of suitable projects for the scheme include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Lighting & lighting controls
- Heating & heating controls
- Insulation upgrades
- Heat recovery systems
- Pipe insulation
- Solar heating systems
- Wind turbines
- Electric Vehicle (EV) charging points
Before submitting an application you can – if you wish - also apply for an energy survey of your premises under the Department's Business Improvement Scheme. Under this scheme the Department could cover 50% of the cost of an energy survey up to a maximum £5,000. As this is deemed a separate project it would not affect the eligibility for a Business Energy Saving Scheme loan.
How assistance is assessed
The Department for Enterprise may provide assistance to an eligible business where, in its opinion, the business undertakes an economic activity in the Island. Eligibility for the scheme will be determined by potential energy efficiency improvements in Isle of Man business premises and the ability of the business to service the loan repayments. Loans cannot be applied for retrospectively (ie after commencement of the project). The Department will only consider an application for the Business Energy Saving Scheme providing no additional Government assistance has been received for the same project. Where practicable, works should be carried out by Manx Accredited Construction Contractors (MACC).
Loans under the Business Energy Saving Scheme are at the discretion of the Department for Enterprise and each project will be assessed on its potential to deliver real energy savings.
How to apply
Applications should be submitted on application form BS1 (complete sections 1,4 and 7) and accompanied by appropriate documentation.
For applications under £5,000:
- An overview of the project;3 project quotes (from MACCS registered companies if applicable);
- An executive summary for new businesses to the Department; and
- The latest annual accounts or, for new businesses, a cash flow forecast.
- For applications over £5,000:
- An overview of the project
- 3 project quotes ( from MACCS registered companies if applicable)
- A full business plan for new businesses to the Department.
Financial information including:
- Copies of audited accounts for the previous 3 years (if applicable); and
- Projected profit and loss forecasts for the next 3 years together with an explanatory narrative.
To apply for the Business Energy Saving Scheme please complete the application form and return to:

Roundup: 12 NEW Pieces of Furniture Made Out of 12 OLD Pieces of Furniture
This dresser to desk makeover from Thrifty & Chic caught my eye a few months back.
It really is a shadow it's former shelf.
Jennifer used this old coffee table to make her new desk:
This coffee table's soft side came out when transformed into an ottoman.
Still loving Kate's ingenious idea to turn a $25 IKEA Ivar chair into a bedside table!
The addition of a drawer and a sconce are what make it squeal-worthy for me.
If you have some random doors laying around, how about turning them into a coffee table? (Sorry, no 'before' for this one.)
Speaking of doors, check out this salvaged-door-turned-headboard project from This Old House.
Leslie turned a simple chair into an outdoor tiled table.
No before for this one either, but we don't really need one. The back of a chair was removed and hooks added to make a coat hanging coat rack.
Levi needed a toddler bed, so his mom and dad made one for him out of his crib.
This chair turned kid'2s bench is from the group Junktion. Easy to replicate, with the right chair, of course. BTW, their website's project page has a plethora of inspiring re-dos.
We're going to close with two head/footboards to bench re-dos. First up is Sarah's head/footboard to bench project.
Sitting pretty in yellow!
Jen's old headboard and footboard looked a little more shabby than chic before she transformed it.

Nigeria's composite eCommerce platform, OLX has sealed a partnership deal with Interswitch that would see the two companies strengthen eCommerce adoption in Nigeria.
The partnership deal, which was disclosed at a news conference in Lagos yesterday, will help OXL leap its success of the eCommerce industry with a view to attaining the much talked about mobile economy, and assist in the adoption of a digital inclusion.
The partnership is also aimed at making sales easier for sellers and buyers, while opting for different paid services available on OLX such as OLX Do IT for Me service, OLX Top Ads and OLX Champs which the company says encourage entrepreneurship. OLX Champs are agents who work with sellers to ensure safe, fast and satisfied sales while earning commission from the final sales price of a transaction.
Speaking of the partnership, Mayokun Fadeyibi, senior manager, business development for OLX Nigeria emphasized that, though the journey toward the partnership has been conceived a a long one ago, the partnership will largely help move buying and selling away from offline to online.
"For us What makes it different is the power of trust, the currency of trust and knowing that you can use your card safely without having to worry about what is behind it. OLX and Interswitch have come together as a brand to stand with you using your card online and you can do it with ease," she said.
Also commenting, Mr. Paul Ohkaim, Group head, Industry and Retail for Interswitch, noted that the percentage of payments made online for eCommerce is quite low, and so there is a need to approve it. Thus, the OLX and Interswitch partnership, which he reveals will improve the safety of payment for users of the OLX classified service. "We have optimized our integration in such a way that however low your internet broadband may be, we try to ensure your transaction gets successful as soon as it possibly can," he assured.
The Nigeria's eCommerce space is still untapped, considering the fact that about 74percent of Nigerians browse, search and select product online, yet only 15% of the population pays online while 82% prefer to pay offline.
This shows the huge reluctance of online payment due to quite a number of reasons, but most importantly lack of adequate infrastructure and fear of insufficient online security for their data when making payment online.
With well-established innovative payment product offerings from Interswitch such as Interswitch PayDirect and WebPaydirect, OLX Intends to leverage on these payment technologies to drive new paid products for Nigerians to encourage entrepreneurship and ensure continued opportunities for Nigerians giving rise to the partnership to enable Nigerians leverage on this disruption of service payment.

Romeo Shows Off His Moves on 'Dancing With the Stars'
After launching a successful rap career inspired by his father, Master P, Romeo is taking another page from his book, but this time lyrics have nothing to do with it.
The 21-year-old rhymer-turned-actor made his debut during Season 12 of 'Dancing With the Stars' on Monday (March 21), after skipping out on Season 2 -- in which Master P was a competitor on -- due to an ankle injury. While in practice for his big performance, the younger Miller joked, "If I could move my hips better than Rihanna, it's a problem."
Romeo, born Percy Romeo Miller, Jr., graced the stage alongside his partner Chelsie Hightower. The two performed the cha cha to Basement Jaxx's fitting tune 'Romeo.' After his set, host Tom Bergeron commented on his dancing capabilities. "Wow, you did more dancing in 90 seconds than your dad did in four weeks," he said.
Unlike his father, who received less than stellar reviews and holds the title for lowest scores on the show, Romeo's dance moves brought on favorable remarks from judges Bruno Tonioli, Len Goodman and Carrie Ann Inaba.
"If I don't make it past my dad, I'm not gonna be able to hear the rest of this at home, so I'ma give it 110 percent and I'll try to bring back the family legacy to 'Dancing with the Stars,'" said Romeo.

The future of South Africa's flourishing renewable energy industry hangs in the balance as Eskom fights to justify its plans to embark on a massive and costly nuclear build programme, believed to be at the heart of the "state capture" controversy, which mounting evidence shows is undermining the country's economy and Constitution.
The utility's shock decision a few months ago to stop signing contracts with Independent Power Producers (IPPs) – in defiance of government policy – alarmed participants in a programme that has attracted about R200bn of investment and fostered one of the fastest-growing renewable energy industries in the world.
SA's renewable energy share of installed capacity has grown from nothing to 5% in four short years, and the 6 376MW of power successfully procured from 102 IPPs so far already amounts to more than 92% of the 6 925MW of renewable energy target, which was initially set for 2020.
Eskom insists that it is justified in digging in its heels due to the high cost of the programme, which allows private companies to tender for contracts to supply its grid with a given amount of power at a set rate over two decades. It also points out that solar and wind resources are variable and unable to provide reliable supply during peak periods.
Eskom's complaint that paying for power generated by renewable technology has so far been much more expensive than coal-fired power is entirely valid, and has been the case in every country that has embarked on the shift away from fossil fuel. But its argument to support building several new nuclear plants to generate an additional 9 600 MW of power in order to meet demand over the coming two decades is deeply flawed.
For one thing, the costs of wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) technology have plummeted in the last decade as the renewables industry expanded globally with the help of more efficient, cheaper technology. Europe is leading the drive to increase capacity in order to reduce carbon emissions and boost supply security – last year, wind farms in Denmark supplied 140% of the country's demand. The state of California is aiming for 50% renewable energy by 2030 and all new homes constructed there from 2020 will have to produce their own electricity.
Nuclear, on the other hand, is on the way out, contributing about 4.4% of the world's primary energy production in 2014 compared with 8% in 2000. Apart from the threat of accidents – albeit rare – the cost of decommissioning old plants that have reached the end of their lifespan has proved to be prohibitive as radioactive waste is cleaned up.
The case for SA to follow the renewable path is compelling. Research by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has shown that having the bulk of SA's generation coming from wind and solar resources, complemented by clean flexible power sources like gas, is not only technically feasible, but the lowest-cost option.
It maintains that without any target constraints imposed on the delivery of new solar PV and wind capacity, new coal and nuclear power in SA would be unnecessary until 2040. The CSIR's computer modelling shows the projected price for new wind and solar PV would be as low as R0.61/kWh compared with new baseload coal at R1.10 to R1.20/kWh and new baseload nuclear at R1.20 to R1.30/kWh.
Unlike coal and nuclear plants, wind and solar technologies also require and consume very little water, so a shift to more reliance on renewables would reduce consumption of the increasingly scarce resource as climate changes result in more arid conditions over much of the country.
Another point to consider is that wind and solar technology is far more nimble – although they generate far less power than coal or nuclear plants, the wind and solar farms that have sprung up in SA over the last few years have been built so quickly that they have often beat completion targets. This is in comparison to the construction of Eskom's Medupi and Kusile coal plants, which have been delayed by several years, while projected capital costs to completion have escalated from around R223bn initially to R295bn.
The anticipated costs of SA's nuclear build plans have been shrouded in secrecy but estimates range from R650bn from supporters to R1.2tr from detractors. Worryingly, the government has decided to put decisions on procurement solely in the hands of Eskom, which means the process will be less transparent.
SA's public will have a better picture of what is on the table after the release of a new long-awaited Integrated Resource Plan (IRP), which will set out the projections on domestic demand and the cost of the different technologies for an optimal energy mix over the coming two decades. Although the intent was to update it every two years as assumptions change, the IRP has not been revised since 2010 due to the conflicts and controversy surrounding the prospect of a massive increase in nuclear power in SA.
Mariam Isa is a freelance journalist who came to SA in 2000 as chief financial correspondent for Reuters news agency after working in the Middle East, the UK and Sweden, covering topics ranging from war to oil, as well as politics and economics. She joined Business Day as economics editor in 2007 and left in 2014 to write on a wider range of subjects for several publications in SA and in the UK.

Why more nuclear power is a bad idea
The future of South Africa's flourishing renewable energy industry hangs in the balance as Eskom fights to justify its plans to embark on a massive and costly nuclear build programme, believed to be at the heart of the "state capture" controversy, which mounting evidence shows is undermining the country's economy and Constitution.

Turner is a Renaissance man – Clondalkin actor cast as Leonardo
By Hayden Moore
What do you get when you cross the 'X-Files', the Renaissance and a Clondalkin man?
Aidan Turner, who was a student in St Mac Dara's Community School, has been cast as Leonardo DaVinci in a new series that has the working title 'Leonardo'.
Clondalkin#s Aidan Turner
Being brought to life by producer and X-Files writer Frank Spotnitz and Steve Thompson of 'Sherlock' fame, the eight-part series is expected to follow the world-renowned Renaissance artist and his endeavours in a range of fields that he is known for such as engineering, architecture and sculpting.
Turner recently wrapped his role as Ross Poldark in the BBC drama 'Poldark', which finished after five seasons.
But since the finale of the series, Aidan is not straying away from period dramas after he was announced to be playing DaVinci just weeks after he was cast in director Terrence Malick's latest flick.
Also broken by Deadline, Turner will apparently be playing Apostle Peter in the life of Christ movie 'The Last Planet', which will also be starring Mark Rylance and Ben Kingsley and is currently filming in Italy.
For those unfamiliar with Turner's work, he shot to fame when he was cast by Peter Jackson to play Kíli in The Hobbit Trilogy and also played Boatman in experimental animated film 'Loving Vincent' about the life of Vincent Van Gogh.
Daniel Percival is directing 'Leonardo', after recently collaborating with Spotnitz on Amazon series 'The Man in the High Castle'.
The announcement was recently made during Rome Film Festival with Spotnitz saying: "Capturing the character of Leonardo has been one of the most fascinating and exciting challenges of my career.
"It's hard to fathom that a man this extraordinary could even have existed, let alone the human impulses that drove him to achieve such extraordinary things.
"It's been enormously rewarding and an absolute joy collaborating with Steve Thompson, Daniel Percival and our partners at Lux Vide and RAI to bring Leonardo to life."
Production of the series is expected to get underway by the end of the year.

I honestly can't believe it's been a year!
My Salon International weekend was very different from previous years. I was not with a brand, I was a stage host for Hairdressers Journal. Scary and exciting at the same time. I got to talk to some lovely hairdressers and saw some really amazing work.
On day Saturday I hosted the HJ stand, I honestly had such a good working with the lovely Sharon Webb and the Derek (AKA David) I called him Derek all day and told anyone that would listen what a wonderful help he was. So embarrassing…. but he was amazing and everyone needs a Derek in their lives!
My role was to welcome the guest artists and make sure they had everything they needed and to introduce them on stage.
On Sunday it was Choose Hair stage. This is something that I am really passionate about and whole heartedly support. Choose Hair is about raising the awareness of school leavers about how amazing the hair industry is. In March there is a national careers week where we need hairdressers to go back to their local schools and share your experiences of the industry. This stage was to allow young stylists their moment to share their work allow our future hairdressing stars to shine. Some had never been on stage before, some were very nervous and some took it all in their stride. It was such a great experience to be part of. Lot's of family and friend support, even from Antony Mascolo watching his son!
My final day on Monday was on the HJ men's stage, this was a new stage to me as I have been heavily involved in women styling for many years so it was really refreshing to work on something new. The quality of work on this stage was amazing, perfect skin fades, fantastic stories about education. The barbers are really supportive of one another and value education.
These are my favourite stands that made Salon International exciting
- Balmain – I loved the concept of the house of Balmain. Launching their brand new colour range that you can bespoke for your salon. The house of Balmain was super cool and I loved this private area and of course the beautiful Balmain hair accessories.
- The Fellowship of British Hairdressing, they are a massive supporter of the hair industry for not only up and coming stylists but also a place where you can get to see the best of British hairdressing on stage. They have developed a great concept called the live lounge, which has interviews broadcast live on social media so if you can't make the event you can still feel like you are there. Great concept!
- The Wahl stand as normal was massive and created lots of noise, they always have great energy and very inspiring.
- Another favourite was Hair Tribe, such a simple stand with lots of plants but what was cool is that they were making hair videos live which was great for everyone to see. They had a line up of fantastic speakers and always had a great audience when I walked past.
- Not at all least was the Goldwell stand, for me this was one of the most engaging stands at salon this year, the stage was fantastic with a great line up of guest artists, there was an area to learn about colour and their new pigments
Salon International is still the best way to spend your weekend in October unless you get a Caribbean offer! Going to trade shows and having education really helps you to feel motivated, it's worth the effort and you will see the benefits at work.
I caught up with some friends, made some new ones and laughed A LOT!

You've got questions we've got answers.
What is a travel loan?
A travel loan is a form of unsecured personal loan that you can use to finance a holiday. It may be used to pay for flights, accommodation, insurance, tours, and other costs associated with your trip.
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, more than 10 million Australians travelled abroad in 2017, with New Zealand, Indonesia, and the United States ranking as the most popular holiday destinations. Compared with credit cards, bank overdraft or mortgage redraw, A holiday loan can be a convenient and cost-effective way to finance such trips, so you can play your honeymoon, overseas vacation, or domestic flight without needing to pay for it all upfront.
A holiday loan works just like a personal loan. That is, you borrow a specific amount of money and then pay it back with interest over an agreed term. To qualify for a personal loan, you must submit an application and agree to a credit check that takes into account your borrowing history, employment status, credit score, and other factors.
Personal loans, including holiday loans, can allow you to enjoy a lower interest rate than you would receive with a credit card and also offer a consistent repayment schedule. Plenti personal loans also give you the flexibility to make early repayments, allowing you to reduce the length of your loan helping minimise the amount you pay in interest.
What can I use a travel loan for?
You can use a holiday loan for a number of different purposes, including:
- Flight costs
- Hotel / accommodation costs
- Travel insurance
- Spending money
- Sightseeing / Tours
- Visas / New passports
- Vaccinations
If you are approved for a loan and you accept your loan contract, we'll pay funds into your nominated bank account on the next business day. This gives you the flexibility to manage and pay for your travel costs any way you like
How much does a travel loan cost?
There are three key features that make up the cost of a holiday loan. They are the:
- Interest rate (e.g. fixed or variable rate)
- Upfront fees (e.g. establishment fee)
- Ongoing fees (e.g. monthly fees, late payment fees, and other charges)
These costs can be combined to create a measure called a comparison rate. This blended rate represents the total cost of your holiday loan over a standard term (e.g. $10,000 over 3 years). This makes it a useful tool for comparing travel and holiday loans on a like-for-like basis.
For an accurate estimate of the costs of your travel loan, we recommend completing a RateEstimate. We'll provide you with a summary of your repayment amount and options across different loan terms. This makes it easy for you to compare personal loans and choose the right option for you.
At Plenti, we use risk-based pricing to set the overall cost of your holiday loan. This means we look at a range of factors, including your credit history, to provide you with a personalised interest rate. The better your credit history, the better the rate we are able to offer. We also don't charge any fees for early repayments. As a result, if you are able to pay back your holiday loan with additional repayments, you'll benefit by paying lower interest over the life of the loan.
Am I eligible for a travel loan?
To be eligible for a Plenti travel loan you must be:
- Aged 21 or over
- An Australian citizen or permanent resident
- Be earning over $25,000 p.a. from a regular source of income
- Have a good credit history
How do I apply for a travel loan?
Applying for a personal loan to fund your holiday is easy with Plenti. To get started you'll need to complete a RateEstimate and we'll provide you with a summary of your personalised rate, loan options and borrowing power. From there you will be able to select your preferred loan term and start your application online.
As part of your application, we will need you to verify your identity. To complete this step you will need to make sure you have your Australian driver's license handy. If you do not have a driver's license you will need to provide us with a copy of your passport and documents verifying your current address.
During your application, we will also need to verify your income, expenses and liabilities (e.g. credit cards, loans etc). We will need to connect to your bank account and share your last 3 months of transaction data with us. To do this, you'll need your bank login details handy. Based on the details you provide at this step we may require you to share further information or documents (e.g.loan statements). A member of our customer service team will let you know if we require anything further from you.
Finally, we will need you to provide us with your bank account details for your loan funds to be deposited. This account will be the same account we use to set up your direct debit payment schedule. You will also have the flexibility to make extra repayments on your holiday loan at any time.
In completing our assessment of your application, we will look for evidence of how suitable a travel loan is to your situation. This includes reviewing:
- Your employment stability
- Your income (e.g. salary, rent, interest etc)
- Your expenses (e.g. mortgage, groceries etc)
- Your repayment history
- Credit bureau information
- Other details you communicate to us
