Jason performed at our annual church function, and man, did he knock it out of the park. I was nervous to book a comedian, but Jason worked clean, made it personal, and kept people doubled over with laughter. We couldn't ask for more.

I hired Jason to perform for an event for our investment group -- not an easy audience. Jason took over like a pro, handled talkers in a lighthearted way, and by the end had us all in stitches. The musical part was especially funny. It was the first standing ovation this group has given. I highly recommend Jason Love.

I asked Jason to come on late notice to entertain my employees -- mixed company, to say the least. Jason was charming and self-deprecating and connected with everyone (and believe me, it was a tough crowd ... I lead the meetings). Jason's guitar songs went over like gangbusters, and all of it was clean. We had a great time and will hire Jason again in the future.

Jason was funny, witty and immensely likeable. He connected with all the audience and increased the energy in the room. Months later, I can still hear one of his songs in my head. It is making me smile now.
Emcee, Musical Comedy Act
Jason was perfect for our event. He has clean comedy and uses humor to point out the truths in life - that everyone can relate to! I had several guests come to me at the end of the show and asked to book him again for future events. He stayed in constant communication with me prior to the event - I would highly recommend him!
Jason came at only a few months request for our couples event. We had some requests that he catered to and he took some fun facts from our area, nature of our group and personalized the performance which made tge crowd instantly love him. Some comedians get an occassional laugh but Jason had us all rolling throughout the whole show. I highly recommend him for any event. Also he was great with response time, even answering my questions on Christmas! Just all around great experience!

We hired Jason to entertain at an otherwise stuffy convention. People who hadn't so much as smiled were now laughing out loud. It actually brought the group together. Jason kept it clean (per my request) and closed to big applause with his guitar. He is a polished professional.

Every time I hire this guy, he makes me look like a rock star. It doesn't matter if he's playing a church or a biker bar -- Jason Love is funny. Highly recommend him.

Saw Jason Love at the Ice House in Pasadena. Had a great time. A very honest, funny show without resorting to vulgarity to get a laugh.
If you like your comedy on the cerebral side (think Gallagher), then you'll love Jason. Wish he would do more of the one liners at the end, they are awesome.
While visiting friends in out West, they suggested we go to a Show featuring one of their favorite performers, Jason Love. I have always enjoyed cartoons of Jason Love and was excited to see him in a live comedy show.
From the time we got there, the place was electric in anticipation with so many people talking about Jason and how much they enjoy his performances. It apparenently wasn't their first time seeing him.
As the show started I could understand what they meant. Jason welcomes his audience like good friends and you feel like you are at a big party with him. He is personable and energetic and he is very handsome! (I may be an old lady but I am not dead yet!)
His comedy material is fresh and funny and delivery is so relaxed and natural that it adds to the fun and laughs. Whether he is telling jokes, performing music or just talking to the audience, it is all in great fun.
The only downside is the evening flies by too fast and your face tends to get sore from smiling/laughing so much! It is an evening of great entertainment.
We hope to go out West this year or next. On our agenda will be AT LEAST one place where Jason Love is performing. I wonder if I am too old to be a "groupie".
If you ever get the opportunity to see one of Jason's shows, you should totally go! Jason is hilarious! I love clever, clean, intelligent comedy and Jason's humor is just that! You can see him with your friends or with family and everyone has a great time!
I had the privilege of hiring Jason Love for a personal celebration I was having. His performance was incredibly funny and witty. My guests were extremely pleased with the act and many approached me personally to inform me of how much they enjoyed the show. I highly recommend Jason Love for any venue. His comedic performance, stage presence and delivery are pure perfection. He keeps the laughs coming from start to finish. He is a true professional and one extremely talented comedian. I will definitely ask him to return for future events we will be hosting (if he hasn't booked his HBO special by then). Thank you Jason, for an incredible show, it was a true delight.

Just when you thought they has left us, flared jeans are back with a vengeance and it looks like they are here to stay. Previously associated with some of the eyesore outfits of the early millennium (I'm thinking Britney Spears circa 2003), you can understand why we were a little tentative to adopt them back into our wardrobes. If worn right, flares elongate and slim the leg giving you a tall, streamlined silhouette. If worn wrong, they can have the opposite effect. Take heed and follow our 5 flare commandments to avoid looking like an Avril Lavigne throwback.
1. Thou shall:
Have your flares tailored! This is an often forgotten but hugely important part of pulling off flares. A too short hem gives you the wrong proportions and shortens your legs, but too long and you look scruffy with them dragging along the ground. The sweet spot is two inches above the ground when wearing your shoe of choice.
2. Thou shall:
Choose a rise to suit your height. For the petite girls out there, opt for a high-rise that sits at the top of your waist to really make the most of the flares elongating powers. Nicole Richie is a pro at this, and often looks a lot taller than her 5"2 frame with this simple trick. If you've already got the height thing down pat, stick to low or mid-rise styles to avoid looking like your walking on stilts.
3. Thou shall:
Pick your colors with caution. If you've got some curves going on, opt for dark blue and black washes, avoiding distressed or faded washes where possible. Distressing along the thighs and butt pulls the eye to those areas instead of giving an overall sleek silhouette, which negates the effect of the flares.
4. Thou shall:
Think about the little things. Small differences in the cut of the pants can make a huge difference to how they work for you. Pockets or pleating through the front of flares are great additions for girls who want to add a volume to their bottom half and can really help balance you out if you are a bit top heavy. If you want to disguise a curvier mid section go for minimal detailing at the front and go for a classic zip up style.
5. Thou shall:
Style it right. Once you've found the perfect pair it's all about choosing the right pieces so you don't undo your hard work. You can go a multitude of directions with flares this season. We are loving flares styled with a floppy hat, layers and a pair of platform sandals for a laidback 70's vibe, or alternatively with a basic tee, leather biker jacket and sneakers for an edgier look. Keeping things crisp and clean is the easiest way to avoid a disaster; a sloppy tee that may look great with skinnies could fail with flares. Be careful to avoid tops that expose too much midsection and chunky belts or boots, as they tend to disrupt the effect of the pants.
Most importantly, have fun with it! Making flares work for you is all about playing with proportion. Take a step out of the skinny jean comfort zone and check out our top picks for flares this season. Let us know how you style yours.

When I was little the tuck shop was a place where you bought food when you had forgotten (or were lucky enough) to be able to buy your lunch from school. Sports clubs also had tuck shops where you could by drinks and pasties, but that was pretty much the only places that I ever saw or heard of them. I was quite surprised when I found that there are tuck shop's everywhere in Botswana. Here they function almost like a Milk Bar or corner store, rather than the school tuck shop that we know in Australia.
I've always been interested in the etymology of words. I think that they add depth and insight in a places culture and history. For instance, the best way to determine if Vitamin A deficiency is endemic to a region is to ask if the community has a specific word for "night blindness". This seemingly adhoc test has been proven to be more sensitive than many scientific approaches as Vitamin A is notoriously difficult to measure in the lab.
But I digress. The similar use of the word 'tuck shop' in Botswana and Australia made me reflect on our common colonial past and ponder where the word originated. Naturally I turned to the most accurate and knowledgeable place that I know - Wikipedia. Wiki says that the term "tuck" (closely related to the work "tucker") is probably slang for "to tuck into a meal". The Tuck Family operated several food businesses in England between 1780-1850 and there are documented paintings with 'Tuck' written over their doors (hence 'Tuck Shop'). Two of the brother's emigrated to Australia and set up food shops there, and the rest, implies Wiki, is history. But this doesn't really explain why the word is so prolific in southern Africa. Even after extensive searches I can't really find any more information on the net.
My best guess is that the word 'tuck' became popular as a word for snack foods and was then sent around the world as the British colonised the empire. These small shops gained popularity in southern Africa as places to sell small items, particularly in townships and villages where land ownership was forbidden during British colonial rule. In Botswana, these shops now sell everything - single cigarettes, cans of beer, cans of soft drink, 'air time' (prepaid phone time), sweets, fruit... almost anything that can be sold in singular form is sold there. And these ones that I snapped in a rural village just outside of Gaborone were all painted lovely colours as well!

[Inaudible] is it no more?
I don't know what that is based on. I have no idea what that is based on. Honestly I think sometimes people get ahead of themselves. The Government is working through the issues out of the Finkel Report and we will continue to do that. So, speculators can speculate. The Government is just getting on with the job of delivering downward pressure on rising electricity prices for families and business.
The CET has been the sticking point, it is the one recommendation that the Government hasn't committed to, is the Government bowing to The Nationals because they are not clean, you know, comfortable with the Clean Energy Target?
I think all of that speculation and commentary is just hyperventilating frankly. We are just working the problem. We commissioned the report. We are working through the outcomes of that report. We are doing our own work on these issues. It is important to put in place an investment framework which encourages investment in new supply of energy but that includes maintaining, frankly, the energy supply that we have and the Labor Party's no-coal ban on arriving at an investment framework I think is very unhelpful. I think it is very unhelpful. I don't think it does add certainty into the sector and I think the Labor Party has to get beyond the ideology and focus on the economics and the engineering, which is what we are doing, and we will continue to work patiently and steadily towards delivering a durable investment framework.
We keep hearing about investment uncertainty being raised as a problem, is the Government treating the CET with some urgency?
We are working very, very hard to deliver an investment program that will deliver the certainty that is necessary, that encompasses an all-of-the-above approach when it comes to the resources that are required to drive our energy sector. We don't rule out coal, like the Labor Party does. We do embrace renewables. We are able to work right across the spectrum and we are not going to provide any of these, or place any of these, ideological bans on how you arrive at an investment framework that is durable. So, we are not playing politics with this. That's the Labor Party's job.
There are calls for you to pull the gas trigger – will you do it?
We have a mechanism in place for how that is done and there are a series of steps you have to follow under that mechanism and that is exactly what we are doing.

Various complex building methods were used during the construction including tunnel forming with a single concrete pour to create perfectly aligned casts.
1 year was cut from the construction programme due to pioneering construction methods, and 20% extra area including 200 additional bedrooms and suites were re‐designed into the project.
- 30,000m³ of concrete used

It is very common to hear someone saying that they are traumatized by an experience that they had in the past. Trauma can come in so many forms. What matters is how you deal with it. If not dealt with effectively, a traumatizing experience can make life unbearable. Post traumatic stress disorder might not be a fatal condition, but then it is not something you want to experience. It is a very common condition, more than most people imagine, and it has caused many people untold suffering.
The dangers of PTSD
This condition is popularly known by its abbreviation PTSD, but even this does not shorten the influence that it can have on a persons life. Whether you choose to call it PTSD or use the full name, the effects are often the same disastrous. This is why the services of a professional psychologist like Montreals Dr. Bita are of great importance.
One of the symptoms of PTSD is nightmares with content from the traumatizing event. There are nightmares which can be brushed off as figments of an active imagination. Those that arise as a result of this disorder, however, are often very vivid and you remember them when you wake up in the morning. Nightmares often result in poor sleep, which in turn causes a bunch of other problems.
Another sign of PTSD is reliving the experience over and over again. People suffering from PTSD will often relive the experience when they witness a similar incident. Dr. Bita, having been a Montreal psychologist for many years, will help you keep the condition under control. She is an expert in management of PTSD as well as other trauma-related stress disorders. All you need to do is set up an appointment. There is no reason why you should suffer because of post traumatic stress disorder. She is ready to assist you.

Readers funded the DonorsChoose teacher grant request of Ms. K in Indiana, who asked for math manipulatives and calculators for her fifth grade class. She reports, "My students are very excited about these fun new activities. We use them daily to play math games, explain and show different math processes, and even to check our everyday calculations. Having these hands on tools will allow my current as well as my future students to learn numerous math skills. Being able to visualize, draw, and understand these foundational math skills will allow these kids to become life long learners and the future leaders of America!"
The Internet lit up this week with endlessly retweeted "news" that scientists in Israel have confidently predicted that they will develop a cure for cancer within a year with a "cancer antibiotic." The coverage proves that even news sites will run anything that draws clicks, actual journalism is basically dead for lack of demand and the real goal is to be first rather than best, and that consumers have no ability to realize they're being misled. The holes in the story are ample:
- Every website picked up the story from the Jerusalem Post without digging further.
- The original story had just one source – an interview with the board chair of the company working on the treatment, who has no clinical credentials and is not a scientist (despite the headline). The "complete cure for cancer" quote was his. His previous experience includes running a chicken breeding operation and consulting for a business intelligence company.
- The company lists just three employees on its website.
- The company has not conducted any human trials, published any research articles, or enlisted the involvement of outside oncology experts, saying it doesn't have enough money to do so. It has completed one experiment in mice.
- The New York Post, Forbes, and Fox News ran with the Jerusalem paper's headline without doing any research or asking local experts to evaluate the company's claim. They backtracked a bit afterward, but the revised tweets drew just a fraction of their original uncritical stories.
- The company backtracked after higher-quality news organizations questioned the comment, explaining that "cure" means "starting human trials within a year."
Federal authorities arrest three people for running "birth tourism" companies that charge wealthy, pregnant women who are Chinese citizens big money to bring them to the US for delivering their babies in hotel-like birthing houses, which under US law makes the babies immediate US citizens. The company's websites pitched customers that their children could get US government jobs, free education through high school, and Social Security benefits even when living outside the country. The companies told the women to lie on their visa application, wear lose clothes through customs to hide their stomachs, list their destination as the Trump Hotel in Honolulu to improve their chances of being ignored by immigration officials, then fly to Los Angeles to deliver. One couple paid a hospital its indigent care rate in cash, then hit Beverly Hills for a shopping spree at Rolex and Louis Vuitton. Sixteen of the 19 people who were charged were clients who ignored court orders to remain in the US to assist with the investigation. They also skipped out on their hospital bills. Estimates suggest that up to 36,000 Chinese citizens have babies in the US each year.
Non-profit dental insurance company Delta Dental takes heat for paying its CEO $14 million (until they fired him for having an affair with a subordinate), paying its top 10 executives more than $30 million, flying board members and their families to Barbados for company meetings, and planning to acquire a for-profit competitor. Dental insurers are minimally regulated, with no requirement that they spend a specific percentage of revenue on care, and are exempt from paying federal income tax. The company gave the excuse all non-profit healthcare companies use when caught lining executive pockets – we have to pay well to attract top talent to benefit patients and we use outside companies to make sure pay is appropriate.
Shriners Hospitals for Children will stop offering inpatient care for children at five of its 20 hospitals, saying fewer patients need care of that level of complexity.
A Miami plastic surgeon's nationally marketed cosmetic surgery practice – located in a strip mall and offering discounts and payment plans to working-class Hispanic and African American patients – has had eight patients die after botched cosmetic procedures performed in assembly-line fashion. The owner had previously lost his license for allowing unlicensed employees to perform surgery and had changed the business name several times over the years.

Strategic portfolio revamp for Kempinski in Middle East and Africa
Geneva, 12 October 2017. Outstanding new destinations will be added to the Middle East and Africa portfolio of Kempinski Hotels in the coming months and throughout 2018, as Kempinski continues to strengthen its foothold in the region's luxury segment with a portfolio revamp.
With two prestigious openings in the pipeline and additional projects underway in the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Saudi Arabia and Africa, Kempinski is making significant investments in prestige properties in the region to satisfy growing demand for authentic luxury hospitality.
"Our hotels in the Middle East and Africa feature some of the most iconic luxury properties in the Kempinski portfolio and our upcoming openings, including Emerald Palace Kempinski Palm Jumeirah Dubai Hotel and Kempinski Hotel Muscat, are sure to fulfil this brand promise," said Henk Meyknecht, COO Middle East and Africa. "At the same time, we are applying increasingly higher standards across our portfolio and, as a result, Kempinski Hotel Ajman will exit the portfolio as of January next year."
In line with the long-term vision for Middle East and Africa, Kempinski targets operating luxury hotels in each key city within the GCC, as well actively expanding presence through selective growth in exciting destinations in Africa.
Upcoming Openings
Kempinski Hotel Muscat, Muscat/Oman
(opening in Q1 2018)

"Otto has made use of a clause and cancelled my contract because I'm pregnant," the German supermodel and mother-of-one, who is expecting a baby with her boyfriend Seal, told readers of her website last week. "With this collection, I'll be saying goodbye to all the women and babies who liked to wear the clothes I designed." Otto, however, announced that it was forced to terminate its contract with Klum because she missed an important meeting with them "without reason". (April 4 2005, AM)

£500 puts breast charity name on five Derby buses
September 1 2009
A £500 DONATION means five buses are now displaying signs carrying the website address of the Derby Breast Cancer Support Group.
The support group, secretary of which is Christine Cotterill, donated the money to the Namesake Appeal, which gives people the opportunity to name a Trent Barton Bus.
The amount has allowed the website address to be displayed inside five Trent Barton buses on routes through Ashbourne, Allestree, Mickleover, Spondon and Alfreton.
The Namesake Appeal was founded in 1999 by Heather Ward, of Stretton, near Alfreton.
Money raised is donated towards Derby's breast-screening unit.
Heather said: "The support group does great work and helps a lot of women battling breast cancer through the trauma of surgery and treatment.
"The group is fund-raising for the breast cancer screening unit, so all the money is going to the same place in the end."

In PEI. What a weird world this province is. We (I) got a flat tire on the trailer in Quebec City last night. Hours and hours past, tow trucks neglected to fulfill their duties, languages were not shared. Then a straight drive to the East coast. Then watched history made on live tv.

Harrington 99th in the world
Pádraig Harrington is 99th in the latest Official World Golf Ranking - his lowest position for more than 14 years.
The Dubliner, who could soon fall out of the world's top 100 next for the first time since he was 108th on 8 August 1999, will miss this week's Portugal Masters as he must travel to Bermuda on Sunday to prepare for his defence of the PGA Grand Slam of Golf.
With Open champion Phil Mickelson opting against teeing it up, Harrington will take on Masters champion Adam Scott, U.S. Open champion Justin Rose and US PGA Champion Jason Dufner before preparing for the BMW Masters in Shanghai.
He made the field for the first event of the European Tour's four-tournament "Final Series" by the skin of his teeth as one of the top 60 available players from the top 100 in the world rankings.
However, he does not qualify for the following week's HSBC Champions and may not get into the field for the following week's Turkish Airlines Open either.
That means a top performance in BMW Masters at Lake Malaren is crucial if 66th ranked Harrington - nearly €44,000 adrift of 60th ranked Craig Lee - is to make the top 60 in the Race to Dubai who qualify for the season-ending DP World Tour Championship, Dubai.
Darren Clarke, who had his best European Tour finish since winning the 2011 Open when he came tied 12th in the Alfred Dunhill Links, joins Charl Schwartzel for the OneAsia Tour's $1m Nanshan China Masters next week
Admitting that 2013 has not been his best season, Clarke said: "It hasn't gone exactly as I would have liked, but there have been several encouraging signs recently and I am hoping to have a much better end to the season than the start."
Clarke is not among the eight Irish players competing in this week's Portugal Masters at Vilamoura, where Shane Lowry defends the title hoping to build on his third place finish in the Alfred Dunhill Links and edge closer to the world's top 50.
The second last counting event for those trying to finish in the top 110 in the Race to Dubai who will retain full playing privileges for 2014, it's a crucial week for Peter Lawrie and David Higgins.
Both have entered the final counting event in Australia, next week's Perth International at Lake Karrinyup in Perth.
Lawrie is 111th in the money list with Higgins 114th and both need to make the cut at least to ease the pressure on their shoulders in Australia.
As things stand, Higgins is third reserve for the Perth event and may need to do all the work this week if he is to avoid another trip to the Q-School.

Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons
Lorna Landvik
Ballantine, 2004 (2003)
Hardcover, Softcover, e-Book
Read an Excerpt
Reviewed by Tarah Schaeffer
Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons
for my local book club. It tells the story of five women over three decades. It all begins in the winter of 1968 when Faith Owens moves to Freesia Court, Minnesota, along with her husband Wade and their two kids. Wade had been transferred and Faith is left alone frequently while he goes off on business trips. Faith finds it a lonely existence without friends, so when she sees a group of women in a snowball fight (a rogue snowball hits her front window) during a storm, she decides to join in. That night the women get to know each other, and pretty soon they decide to start a book club.
espite the book club theme, there is little here on the books themselves, though it is neat to seen what was popular back then. Rather, it has to do with bonds between women and how friendship can withstand anything. Over the years Faith, Slip, Merit, Audrey and Kari deal with sometimes funny and often heart-wrenching situations. For example, Faith must come to terms with her son's homosexuality, and Merit has an abusive husband. But the story is not all doom and gloom - there's lots of humor, including a very funny section centered on a tree house. Another aspect of the book I enjoyed was watching how life was changing around these women - what was big in the news at the time, and how their kids grew up. Some of their children even decided to start their own book club at one point.
hether or not you participate in a book club, if you're looking for an interesting read with good laughs and a lot of heart, I suggest you pick up

Mariah Carey has sold the 35-carat diamond engagement ring James Packer gave her two years ago.
The huge sparkler, widely reported to be worth $US10 million ($13.2 million), was part of the financial settlement the diva made in 2017 after her split from the Australian casino mogul.
"Mariah has been very vocal recently about her choice to move forward in her life surrounded by positivity," her publicist told Page Six. "That requires leaving emotional and material baggage behind, including an old engagement ring from an ex-boyfriend."
A source said Carey had one of her business managers quietly sell the ring for $US2.1 million to a Los Angeles jeweller.
"A confidentiality agreement was signed, but the jeweler is currently selling it, and there's only one such ring," the source said. "Mariah Carey's public relations people are desperately trying to keep the story from the press, and have threatened the jeweler with litigation if he discloses her name."
James Packer resigns from Crown Resorts
James Packer resigns from Crown Resorts
An insider in Carey's camp scoffed at the idea that she sold the bauble because she's short on cash: "She owns multiple homes, her entire catalog of music, and she's had numerous successful tours and residencies."
The insider also said the ring was worth way less than $US10 million.
Carey is fighting what her reps claim is a "frivolous and baseless" lawsuit brought by her former manager, Stella Bulochni-kov, who claims Carey sexually harassed her by often being naked in front of her.

'Work Design Studio' explained: Interview with Oliver Baxter - Herman Miller
We asked Oliver Baxter, MSc, Bsc - Insight Programme Manager MEA a couple of questions before Workspace and one of the new feature's this year - Work Design Studio.
Oliver works with the Herman Miller Insight Group and is responsible for the commissioning, overseeing and presenting of Insights into the latest thinking in workplace design and associated issues.
What office trends are you experiencing in 2018?
Office design has changed a great deal since Herman Miller established itself as a workplace leader in the 1930s with modular executive furniture by designer Gilbert Rohde. Globally there is a shift towards adding value to work spaces, rather than a drive to simply reduce costs; there is a growing understanding that the right office environment can enhance people's performance. As new modes of production, creation, interaction, and service evolved the way workers behaved, so too did the landscape of the modern workplace.
However, the way people work together is changing, and the office landscape needs to adapt with it. While the more traditional corporate team still exists (where people work together regularly, under the same manager in the same place), there is an increase in 'swarm' behaviour. This is where groups of people come together quickly, often to tackle a specific problem or opportunity. Our research has shown that privacy is an ongoing trend, and remains an important part of the office floor plan. It is human nature to seek out your own space, but in the open plan office, it can be difficult to find more private spaces to think, escape or collaborate in. Biophilic design and integrated technology are both high on facilities managers' agendas.
Tell us what to expect at workspace's new show feature: The Work Design Studio?
Working with our Authorised Partner H2O Concepts LLC, we understand that design is an integral part of this business.
At Work Design Studio, we will play host to an interesting set of seminars and discussions led by our Insights Program Manager Oliver Baxter. At Herman Miller we think, learn and communicate through design. It is the language with which we share new ideas and address the problems that people face. Before we decide what we do and how we do it, we must first ask "why?". For us, design is never just about a finished product. It is a narrative that extends from the designer's vision to the people it touches and the places it transforms. We invite you to discover why we do what we do at Herman Miller.
We will also be previewing Memo, a work system designed to help companies be more agile. By re-inventing the desk structure and making it relevant to the way people are working today, Memo serves as an efficient platform to create different kinds of spaces so people can choose whatever place best suits their task.
We are also showcasing our latest partner, naughtone. naughtone products have an artisan, handcrafted feel and a contemporary style. By insisting on attention to craft and only the best materials, naughtone ensures a high-quality finish to their products. The remastered Aeron will also be showcased, along with the Keyn Chair Group. The Keyn Chair Group is a range of meeting and side chairs that offers responsive movement and immediate comfort for collaborative spaces. The design, by the London firm forpeople, uses four key parts to create every model in the group, so each retains the same visual appeal. For extra comfort, Keyn's CradleFlex movement responds to shifts in posture, reclining up to 10 degrees.
Why do you think this type of feature is important at exhibitions like Workspace?
We recognize that office design and supporting furniture is the most critical furniture investment a company will make, given the impact it can have on its employees, and that suppliers or manufacturers vary wildly based on innumerable factors. These events put us in front of our key influencers and gives us the opportunity to showcase our innovative designs and solutions.

Dentofacial Orthopedics
What exactly does this term mean?
When looking for orthodontists, a term you will often see is dentofacial orthopedics. While most people have at least a basic understanding of orthodontics, few have ever heard of this aspect of the specialty. Allow us to explain.
All orthodontists start out as dentists.
This is because the first step in becoming an orthodontist is going to dental school. Once dental school is completed, orthodontists then enter into a specialty program that takes between two and three years to complete. This specialty program is for orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics.
Orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics are closely related.
And this is why they are studied together. Orthodontics is about tooth movement while dentofacial orthopedics is about guiding facial growth and development. In most cases, quality orthodontic treatment requires focus on both aspects, so all orthodontists are also dentofacial orthopedics specialists.
And that means that when you see us, you get treatment for both. If you are ready to learn more about the right treatment for you, contact us today.

Custom Jewelry Wax Molds
After the sketch is approved, a wax mold of your custom jewelry is created. A skilled artisan/jeweler hand carves a jewelry prototype out of jewelers wax using small scalpels and knives. The wax prototype also known as a "model" is placed in a flask, and plaster, called "investment" is poured all around the model. Once the investment hardens an exact impression of the model is formed inside of the flask. The wax model is burned out of the flask leaving a cavity of the jewelry design.

The Archduchess Maria Antonia (1755-1793) was born in Vienna, the daughter of the Empress Maria Theresa and her consort, Francis of Lorraine. She was of ordinary intelligence, but her education was sorely neglected, as a consequence, for many years she remained intellectually apathetic and incapable of any sustained mental effort. Louis XV's minister, the Duc de Choiseul, arranged for her betrothal to the Dauphin Louis, the heir to the throne of France, and the two were wed at Versailles on May 16, 1770. France and Austria were perennial enemies, and the marriage was intended to seal the newly forged Bourbon-Hapsburg alliance. Marie Antoinette's position at the French court was tenuous from the start. Although the old King greeted her warmly, the shy groom demonstrated little affection for her. For various reasons, other members of the royal family, especially Louis XV's spinster daughters (see cat. no. 35cat. no. 14). The effects of her unbridled extravagance was onerous indeed on a nearly depleted Treasury.
For the first seven years of his marriage, Louis XVI was unable to fulfill his conjugal duties, but in 1778, after he underwent a minor surgical operation, Marie Antoinette became pregnant. A daughter, Madame Royale, was born to them that very year. Three years later the Queen's position was strengthened by the birth of a male heir, the first Dauphin, Louis Joseph (see cat. no. 13). In 1785, the year of the birth of her second son, the Duc de Normandie (the future Louis XVII), she was falsely implicated in the infamous Affaire du Collier or Diamond Necklace Scandal. Public hatred for her was so pervasive that she was generally believed to be guilty. The object of a vicious smear campaign, she was held responsible for the financial bankruptcy of the state and was accordingly nicknamed "Madame Deficit." She was, moreover, accused of every moral depravity.
The year 1789 began the tragic phase of Marie Antoinette's life. Both her brother, the Emperor Joseph II, and her oldest son died. The Estates General were assembled, and soon thereafter the Revolution erupted in furor. She saw the monarchy crumbling before her eyes. In October she barely escaped being massacred with her bodyguards when Versailles was attacked by the mobs. The royal family was forcibly removed to the Tuileries Palace in Paris. Dreading the prospect of a civil war, the Queen negotiated for a time with leaders of the Revolution. After 1790, however, she became increasingly isolated. In June of 1791 she and her Swedish lover, Count Axel Fersen, arranged for the royal family's flight from Paris, but they were arrested in the village of Varennes and brought back in humiliation to the capital. Marie Antoinette and her private emissaries were relentless in their efforts to organize an armed congress of European powers against France, certain that this was the only way to restore the monarchy to its former glory. In March of 1792 her brother Leopold II died, and soon Louis XVI was compelled to declare war against the new Emperor of Austria, Francis II to whom she communicated strategic plans of the French army.
In August of that year the Tuileries were stormed, and she and her family were incarcerated in the former palace of the Knights Templar; the monarchy was dissolved and a Republic declared. Louis XVI was tried and later executed on January 17, 1793. The Queen was then cruelly separated from her two children, only one of whom would survive her. Fruitless attempts were made to rescue her. In October, after her transfer to the Conciergerie, her own trial began. In the final days of her life, she displayed a courage that continues to command respect. Found guilty of treason, Marie Antoinette was guillotined on October 16, 1793.
The portrait shown here, intended as a roval gift and commissioned through the Ministere des Affaires Etrangeres, is listed in the Registre des Presents du Roi (Document 1) as having been delivered to the ministry in August of 1785. Its beneficiary was the Comte de Choiseul-Gouffier, the French ambassador to Constantinople, to whom it was immediately shipped. Later brought back into Prance, it was found in 1794 among the possessions of Choiseul-Gouffier, who by then had emigrated, and was confiscated by the State (it is included in the Registre de Reception des Objets d'Art and d'Antiquites trouves chez les Emigres and condamngs, dated 28 pluviose an II; original document in the Archives of the Louvre). Among the articles remitted to the care of the Museum Central des Arts, on November 28, 1797 (8 frimaire an VI), it was listed in the inventory of works of art stored at the Depot National de Beaune (Document II). Choiseul-Gouffier recovered his property after his return to France from exile, and upon his death, his widow, nee de Bauffremont, inherited the portrait. In 1837 it was purchased from her estate by a nephew, Theodore de Bauffremont, who in May of that year invited Mme Le Brun, then eighty-two years old, to authenticate it. It was then that the artist scratched onto the canvas her signature and an incorrect date; thereupon she wrote Bauffremont a letter thanking him for allowing her to view the picture (Document III).
Here we see Vigee Le Brun in complete possession of her powers as a court portraitist. Although regal in bearing and possessing a faultless complexion, Marie Antoinette could not accurately have been called a beautiful woman. She had a high bulging forehead, pale blue myopic eyes, an aquiline nose, and the thick Hapsburg lower lip. Operating like a plastic surgeon, the artist has modified these unattractive features, yet she succeeds in capturing a more than recognizable likeness. The fabrics are rendered with consummate skill, especially the fur-trimmed jacket and the delicate point-lace collar, fichu, and ruffled engageantes.
Another portrait of this type is in an American private collection (for an illus., see Nolhac, 1908, facing p. 42) its provenance can be traced to the nineteenth-century collection of the Marquis de Biencourt. A similar picture, belonging to Louis XVI's ambassador to Great Britain, the Comte d'Adhemar, elicited eulogistic comments from the most eminent English painter of his day, Joshua Reynolds. In 1787, after seeing Vigee Le Brun's portraits of Marie Antoinette and the Duchesse de Polignac, Reynolds had the following exchange with his pupil James Northcote:
PROVENANCE: Painted in 1785 for the Ministere des Affaires Etrangeres, given in that year by Louis XVI to Comte Marie Gabriel Auguste de Choiseul-Gouffier (1752-1817); seized in 1794 and sent to the Depot National de Beaune; later returned to the Comte de Choiseul- Gouffier; bequeathed by him to Comtesse Helene de Choiseul-Gouffier, nee de Bauffremont; purchased after her death by her nephew, Prince Theodore de Bauffremont; Wildenstein, New York, by 1915, acquired ca. 1926 by Edward J.

text: Birthday cakes have been getting Miley Cyrus into a lot of trouble lately. The 19-year-old pop star was recently photographed licking a penis-shaped cake at her boyfriend, actor Liam Hemsworth's birthday party. This news comes just a couple of months after Miley's response to her own Bob Marley birthday cake got the former Hannah Montana star in even more trouble. We'd advise her to stay away from birthday parties for the next few weeks, but the young actress's history of wild moments proves that dessert treats aren't her only problem.

STL Designer Shan Keith Competes on Tim Gunn's 'Under the Gunn' Fashion Reality Show
Second time's a charm for STL designer Shan Keith, a contestant on Tim Gunn's new reality show, "Under the Gunn," which pits up-and-coming fashion designers against one another in a "Project Runway"-esque environment. Keith, a St. Louis native and self-taught designer, previously auditioned for "Project Runway," but didn't make the cut. He heard about Gunn's new reality show, and after rounds of auditions, he made it to the big leagues in true "make-it-work" fashion while surviving deadlines and challenges that would make even the most seasoned designers cringe.
Last night, ALIVE sat down with Keith at his "Under the Gunn" premiere watch party to get the inside scoop on his experience during the show.
ALIVE: What was the audition process like?
Shan Keith: We had to do a casting in front of a panel of judges. Some were previous contestants, and we had to showcase five looks.
ALIVE: Did you have a lot of time to interact with Tim?
SK: Tim was the host and was kind of like a mentor. He would come in with our mentors and help give us critiques, so we had a lot of interaction with him.
ALIVE Be honest––how many times did you hear, "Make it work?"
SK: I heard make it work, like, every day. Every single day. If it wasn't from Tim, it was from the contestants saying, "We've gotta make this work."
ALIVE: With feedback from Tim and your mentors on top of the tough competition with other designers, were there points where you were completely overwhelmed?
SK: I was always. You'll see on the show that I hated critiques. They were not a favorite of mine because I would always get kind of nervous about somebody critiquing my work. I had to realize that it was always constructive criticism, though. They try to bring out your best.
ALIVE: Was there ever a critique with which you disagreed?
SK: As a self-taught designer, you're used to being in your own bubble, and when you're used to designing and creating on your own, you're just doing what you want to do. So it's difficult when you have somebody telling you that maybe you should go in a different direction [with your design]. Once they realize your strengths, they try to push you [in that way]. Although it seemed like they were changing your direction, they were really always there just to keep you on the straight and narrow path.
ALIVE: Tell us about living with your direct competition.
SK: The guys lived together and the girls lived together. It was interesting because it gave us the chance to converse, and though we were competing, you gain these friendships. It began to be less competitive and more of us really trying to help each other bring out the best in each other. There were times when people would get really down, but for the most part, we would try to uplift each other. You're under a lot of pressure. When they say "one day," it's literally one day––not 24 hours, but, like, 10 hours. It was tough.
ALIVE: So, Anya was your mentor. What was it like working with her?
SK: Anya was amazing. She was spectacular. She took me under her wing and tried to teach me everything she knows. Once she saw my gift, she really learned to bring that out. She only wanted the best for me.
ALIVE: After your experience competing on this show, would you ever do a reality competition again?
SK: If presented with the opportunity, I would have to know exactly what it is and what I'd be getting myself into––but I wouldn't say no!
ALIVE: Did you know what you were getting into before you started "Under the Gunn"?
SK: I didn't know what I was getting into, actually. I knew I was getting into something similar to "Project Runway," but I didn't know exactly what that would be.
ALIVE: Where do you think this opportunity can take you as a designer?
SK: I'm hoping it leads me to some investors, somebody who can pick up my brand and take me to the next level. If somebody's trying to offer me a job in the design industry, you know I'll be happy.
ALIVE: Now that you're back in St. Louis, what's next for you?
SK: I'm trying to focus on my brand and finding manufacturers and investors to help me launch my line. I have some things in the works. We just got back, so I haven't really started focusing on anything in specific, but I'm really trying to chime right in to get myself out there and stay in the public eye.
Tune-in to "Under the Gunn" on Lifetime every Thursday at 8pm.

Resume Tips
It's never too early to start preparing a resume. Whether you're looking for a summer job, starting college applications, or applying for a scholarship, having a well composed and easy-to-read resume is essential.
Here are a few general tips for writing resumes:
Keep the length to one page or two pages at the most. Your resume should be a snapshot of your education, skills, work history, extracurriculars, awards, publications, and community service.
Introduce yourself. Put your name and contact information clearly in the heading of the page. Use an appropriate and professional e-mail address in your contact information.
Make the content easy to read and scan. Employers or scholarship committees may be quickly looking over your resume. You want to ensure the most important information about you is easily identifiable. Use clear section headings and bullet points for organization.
Use a professional format. Stay away from elaborate fonts or colorful paper. Your resume may be your first impression to an employer, so you want it to be a good one. Use conventional fonts and plain white or resume paper. Be sure to follow any formatting guidelines for college or scholarship applications.
Be detailed. According to the Princeton Review, "The details are what set a resume apart from a list of extracurriculars on a standard college application." Be specific in describing your roles in clubs or on teams. Emphasize any leadership roles and highlight your contributions.
Update often. Keep an updated version of your resume on your computer. Whenever you're involved in a new activity or receive an award, make sure to document it in your resume. You can always trim the content and keep the most relevant and important information in the final draft you send to an employer or a college.
Edit and edit again. Proofread your resume carefully to reduce the chance of any typos, misspellings, or formatting errors. Have a friend, family member, or school counselor read over your resume to check for mistakes or inconsistencies. You want your resume to be an accurate and error-free representation of you!
Do you have questions about resume writing? Contact Hughes College Prep to meet with an advisor to discuss, develop, or review a resume.

Being able to attend college locally at NCI to obtain my Bachelor's degree in social work has been a dream come true. Many doors have opened for me, and I've made a few amazing friends along the way!
Jeanne Hodges
I see NCI as a gateway to first-time students who are looking for an affordable education and a pathway for second-career students like myself, looking to pursue "a ship that we thought had sailed." It's never too late to become what we might have been.
Melvin Johnson
NCI is priceless to me. I have met people here that I will never forget. NCI is a big part of our community and without this great partnership with Longwood, I may not have been able to earn my degree.
Caylee Joyce
I have really enjoyed my time at NCI. I am so thankful to have had the chance to stay local yet still be able to get a quality education. NCI has opened many doors for me and has given me the opportunity to make many friendships along the way.
Marquita Kirby
NCI has allowed me to accomplish my dream of completing a bachelor's degree here at home. I have four children and going away to a traditional college campus was impossible for me. Thank you NCI for being a blessing to me and our community.
Schnika Martin
My experience at Longwood University through New College Institute was amazing because I have gained inspiring and supportive friends who share the same passion to become influential change agents in this community. I am grateful for the educational opportunity that NCI has given me and the doors that they have opened.
Irbin Morales
NCI gave me the opportunity to get my bachelor's degree in my own community. I am proud to be part of NCI's legacy.
Sarah Treadway
Even though I am taking my classes at NCI, we are governed by the same social work code of ethics as every other BSW program. The program is not any easier, but it's close to home with a flexible class schedule so that working moms and dads can graduate.
Leigh Ann McGuire
I would highly recommend the Longwood program at NCI if you want a college experience but would like to stay close to home. Here, you are a real Longwood student. I have gotten a lot of the same college experiences that my friends who went away to college are getting.
Angela Stowe
NCI has assisted me tremendously in reaching my career goals. Without NCI, I would be unable to attend college, work, and be a mother. I never thought I could get my Bachelor's degree, but NCI is making that possible. Now, thanks to NCI, I have a new set of goals to work towards.
Cameron Cooper
Because of NCI's convenient location and scheduling of classes on nights and weekends, I was able to complete my Master's Degree without leaving Martinsville. Now, I am returning to pursue an endorsement to further my career in public education.
Kolton Helbert
I have been blessed with many wonderful staff members, instructors, and classmates at NCI who have helped me in my efforts to finish my degree. Because NCI empowered me to "Stay close and go far,"
Elizabeth Wotring
I never felt like I was a number in the classroom at New College Institute. With the help of the New College Institute and its valuable resources and faculty, I have been able to receive a four year bachelor's degree without paying a single penny out of pocket.
Kris Shrader
The impact of NCI on my life has been significant. This institution provided me a path to obtaining an undergraduate degree. Something I never thought I would possess.
Clarence Simington
My participation in this program has provided a rich and rigorous educational experience for enhancing my personal and professional development.
Tim Hall
With a full-time job, a family, and many community obligations, I could not have earned my master's degree without the convenience and opportunity offered by New College Institute.

Sometimes, it can feel like it's all go go go with little idea of where we're actually going. Like we're plowing full steam ahead with little real direction and there comes a point (or many points) in life when it's 'about time'. It's about time you properly started your dissertation. It's about time you stop hitting delete on every careers email before reading it. It's about time you realise you're at university to do a degree. It's about time you stop eating peanut butter from the jar and go and do something with your life. I could go on.
As I final year university student, I have had to come to terms with saying goodbye to some truly treasured things in my life recently and quite frankly, emails, posters and articles entitled 'Hello future!' do little to rectify this. So, as a small tribute to what has passed, here are my top three, lest we forget.
A cozy cafe. Now sadly, this is one I actually rarely got round to visiting as much as I would have liked which makes it all the more traumatic now it's gone. This particular cafe was called the Novel Cafe. As a literature student, I appreciated this very much. It was a cute and cozy little place in the centre of town with second hand books to borrow and exchange, full of people just reading, chatting and drinking tea. It was also the first cafe I went to on first visiting the town before coming to university deciding (optimistically) that I would go here all the time to read before immediately losing said cafe on arrival at university. To my excitement I then rediscovered it last year only to find that this year, it has closed down. It will forever be somewhere I wish I had visited more.
A pub. As a student, everyone has their go to favourite pub. For us, this was a small quirky little place with live jazz music, drunk locals and a table of questionable free food. Many times we would be sat upstairs on the brightly coloured, slightly threadbare and hazardously wonky armchairs until late into the night with an odd collection of old books and instruments hidden behind and under sofas. There were often tipsy locals singing in the corner and there was rarely a time we went and didn't ourselves break into song, often with whoever was in the pub at the time with some kind of unspecified string instrument but there's no denying it had character. At the end of its life, we all went for a final night of fun before the bell rang and it closed for the last time and we all walked down the street singing loudly to commemorate the good times.
Finally, and I'm sure many will join me in the mourning of this one, the Bake Off. I know there will be some smart people out there who say it hasn't really gone, but let's be honest, we have lost the pure, unadulterated innocence of the Great British Bake Off. I've seen some of the things on channel 4 and the beauty of Bake Off has no place fraternizing with the likes of that. It has taken a long time to come to terms with it but they do say all good things must come to and end. I'm still not convinced and don't even get me started on Len leaving Strictly Come Dancing. What will our dreary autumn terms be like without the dream team of Mary Berry and Len Goodman?
There are times to say goodbye but there are also many times to say hello to new things. I have recently come to the conclusion that I probably do too much and still regularly forget I have a degree to do, so naturally in the spirit of saying hello to new things, I've decided to learn how to jive. I may have to spin round 8 times so quickly that I fall over but sometimes you have to ask yourself 'why not?'
It's about time I started thinking about things but I'm not going to give up the things I love to do so, or start applying for things just because they're what everyone else is doing. I went to a Halloween party this year where everyone was adorned with latex scars and gory masks, I wasn't a big fan of the whole scary theme so I went as Where's Wally and sang Disney songs late into the night; it's about making every opportunity your own.
Every day another friend comes up to me with a big career offer they've landed but I went on a weekend away last week and was reminded we have a future so much greater than that. One that no matter how much changes at the end of this year, will remain the same. We also went on a mountain walk in the Cumbrian countryside. It was completely covered in full thick snow and yet the skies behind were blue and the sun was shining. Someone said to me it was sad how now people just don't appreciate the beauty of these things because I'm really not sure I have ever seen a view so beautiful and just like all those Romantic poets I realised how insignificant all our plans are in the grand scheme of things. No matter how much you looked on the view, there really was no way of taking it all in or capturing the awesomeness of it all. We had snowball fights, slid down the hill and wrote our names in the snow. That night we stayed up telling each other stories and laughing constantly until we cried. And once again, it's the simple things, the things that are quite simply out of our control that often bring the most joy and it's about time I started appreciating that 🙂
