In recent weeks, 50 Cent has released a new album, Animal Ambition, shocked Hot 97's Summer Jam audience by reuniting G-Unit on stage, before hitting the Internet with a new Guerrilla Unit song, "Fuck You Talkin' Bout," and, funniest of all, throwing what's arguably MLB's worst-ever first pitch before a New York Mets game. Memorable public appearances, instant headlines—just another two-week span in the life of Curtis Jackson, the rapper turned business mogul turned fashion maven turned actor turned…you get the picture. He's done it all.
Well, except for one thing—he's yet to become hip-hop's answer to J.J. Abrams. That could potentially change soon, though, with the premiere of Power, the new original Starz drama premiering tomorrow night at 9 p.m. EST. Originally conceived by 50 Cent, the eight-episode series is the culmination of 50's work alongside Courtney Kemp Agboh, a veteran TV producer who's acting as Power's full-time showrunner. Together, they're hoping they've got the next The Sopranos.
Power stars Omari Hardwick (most recently seen on BET's Being Mary Jane) as James "Ghost" St. Patrick, a street-savvy hustler from Jamaica, Queens, whose years spent pushing weight and breaking laws have enabled him to bankroll a legitimate business venture: Truth, a posh new Manhattan nightclub, easily accessible from the lavish penthouse suite Ghost shares with his wife, Tasha (Naturi Naughton), and their three children. Truth's opening night is a success, but the club's intake is pennies next to what Ghost and his lifelong best friend and co-hustler Tommy (Joseph Sikora, a.k.a. True Detective's "Ginger") net through drugs. Tommy and Tasha dislike Ghost's sudden need to go straight, for differing reasons—she loves the financial security that comes from Ghost's illegal activities, while hotwire Tommy is married to the Scarface-minded game. Ghost finds sanctuary, however, in Angela (Lela Loren), the "one who got away" whom he reconnects with inside Truth but doesn't realize works with the Feds.
A hustler from Queens trying to go straight? Yes, the character of Ghost's tug-of-war with the streets and legal wealth isn't unlike 50 Cent's earlier career trajectory. Power, though, isn't the Curtis Jackson story fictionalized. Loosely inspired by his own experiences, 50 Cent has, along with Courtney Kemp Agboh, fused his own past with familiar crime fiction tropes to give television its latest anti-hero protagonist. Ghost is more Tony Soprano than Walter White, murdering an enemy in the back of Truth less than 15 minutes into the first episode.
How Ghost's seedy metropolitan world will differentiate itself from Tony's suburban New Jersey is one of Power's core questions, and, if you ask 50 Cent and Courtney Kemp Agboh, the answers won't disappoint. Here, Power's two overseers, as well as Omari Hardwick, discuss why their passion project should be your new TV obsession.

I've finally chosen a new phone. I picked the T-Mobile myTouch, an Android device, over Apple's iPhone.
The actual device was less a factor for me than cost of the plan and quality of the network. The iPhone is clearly a more advanced creature (although the myTouch is good enough for me). T-Mobile's data plan is cheaper. In fact, thanks to a customer loyalty program (I've been withT-Mobile for a few years) I was able to get unlimited minutes, unlimited data, and 400 text messages per month for about $75.
The T-Mobile network, while not always perfect, has been generally reliable. All the stories about dropped calls and 3G outages on the iPhone with AT&T scared me away.

A lot of savvy moviegoers are eagerly awaiting Ridley Scott's new sci-fi film, Prometheus, which will be hitting theaters next summer.
If you aren't yet aware, the big deal with this flick (aside from the fact that it will bring Ridley Scott back to the sci-fi genre) is that it serves as a sort of semi-prequel to Scott's now-classic film, Alien. That reunion alone is enough to get more than a few moviegoers into the theater seats to see what Scott has in store next.
Thankfully (and frustratingly to movie buffs like us here at Screen Rant) details about Prometheus have been kept strictly under wraps. All we have at the moment is an official synopsis (which reveals little), a few vague words from interviews with those involved with the film, a whole lot of rumors about the story, and a stellar cast that includes Michael Fassbender, Idris Elba, Charlize Theron, Noomi Rapace, Guy Pearce and Patrick Wilson, among others.
Needless to say, anticipation is high for an official Prometheus trailer to debut - but for now, all we have is a description of said trailer, which was reportedly viewed by a theater worker lucky enough to see it. That worker posted his description online, and 20th Century Fox was quick to step in, thereby lending credit to validity of the description.
First, check out the official Prometheus synopsis to see what the film will (roughly) encompass, then see if you think the trailer description (courtesy of Twitter user Tofur1969 and the Prometheus official site) matches that design:
A team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.
And now, the description of the trailer:
Description: "Had to join to to comment on this. I am the Chris that saw the trailer. I run a theatre in the Denver area and my theatre has Nielson kiosks in the lobby for surveys of upcoming titles. They told me that they had few different trailer for various movies, but when they said PROMETHEUS, I said I must see the trailer. It was nearly 2 minutes long and looked fairly polished and complete. It was using a temp track for music and the trailer was VERY similar to the original teaser for ALIEN the way is was cut together. Quick shot after another. Had a couple a lines of dialog I think but is was hard to hear since my lobby was a bit noisy. The planet they showed in the trailer looked nothing like original one where the derelict was crashed. It was sunny and desert like in appearance. The space suits the characters were wearing were VERY similar to the original suits worn by the crew of the Nostromo. The interior shots of their ship looked clean and not used like the the NOSTROMO did. It was all new and shiny looking. I did not see an exterior shot of the derelict ship but there were some really quick shots of the inside like the jockey, another room that looked like were the jockey was but without it, the room with the eggs but there were no eggs in it. There were some quick shots of the crew walking in the same "halls" that Kane and Dallas walked in as well in the derelict ship. But these things were hitting the screen so fast, it was hard to process all the information. Some of the crew look were in medical/cryo-tubes with something moving in their abdomens not their chests. Their eyes also appeared to be completely black and the faces altered I think. The end of the trailer ended with the title forming much like the ALIEN title did in the original movie at the top of the screen. However, there were no mentions of the original movie at all. No Giger aliens, no eggs, nothing at all to pin this being a prequel. It just "looks" like it was from that universe."
All in all, that's not a whole lot to go on - but according to Prometheus Movie.com this is in fact accurate account of the Prometheus trailer.
Logically speaking, it makes sense to kind of ground viewers in some familiar places and a familiar atmosphere of Scott's Alien universe, while still holding back enough to keep the true scope and spectacle of the film a surprise for moviegoers (or at least, a second trailer). On the other hand: some movie fans are likely going to be disappointed that this is all we get from this initial trailer after such a long wait - but then, something tells me they'll still be eager to flock to the theater and see Sir Ridley's latest sci-fi film, regardless ;-).
We'll keep you updated on all things Prometheus (including the actual trailer) as soon as we now about it. The film is slated for release on June 8, 2012.

Rating: 8.5/10
Title: Sweet Oblivion 3: Fluid
Author: Jordan Castillo Price
Genre: Paranormal (vampires)
URL: Changeling Press
Price: US $4.49
Other Information/warnings: Violence, explicit m/m, kink (exhibitionism)
Summary [from the publisher]:
It's been a couple of decades since Wild Bill has been able to savor the bite of an ice-cold, freshly tapped keg. Twenty-odd years since the shivery pucker of a cheap, boxed wine has assaulted his palate. But that doesn't mean Bill's forgotten how to party.
Wild Bill and Michael have holed up in a week-to-week hotel in an iffy Milwaukee neighborhood, and even though it's been a year or two, the fringe art happenings are just as edgy as Bill remembers.
There's a girl covered in frosting in the middle of the hors d'ouvres table, and she's begging them to dip. And the host of the party wants to lure them into the range of his mechanical eye. It's all fun and games, until a tryst turns deadly.
My review: By pure chance I ended up with two stories to review about charismatic vampires at the same time, and it was interesting to compare the approach the respective authors take to the concept of immortal life. Price sees it as a burden, enlivened only by sex and violence. Wild Bill, who remains one of the most fascinating characters I've read in m/m, reveals more of his artistic knowledge and urges in this story, yet frustatingly, does nothing about it. He has the ability to live as he wants, get what money he needs by fair means or foul, and the time to develop his talents as he wishes – but he spends his days in doss houses and grotty vans with the increasingly creepy and single-minded Michael, fucking and trying to avoid being killed. In the other story, the vampire sees immortality as a gift, liberating him from the limitations of being human.
But both authors focus on the essential loneliness of the vampire life, and the importance of trust. In Fluid, Price shows how even a vampire devoted to not killing innocents, even one as wary as Bill, can still fall foul of hunters, and without someone like Michael to be backup, an existence so devoid of peace and security must surely be utterly intolerable.
Not a lot happens in Fluid – it's more about Bill's internal frustrations and unexplored choices, and about vampire senses, than anything else. There's the obligatory hot and dirty, well-written sex, this time with an audience, and interaction with not entirely hostile humans and other vampires, as well as an entirely hostile hunter, which makes Michael wonder what exactly he's trying to achieve by educating vamps and victims about 'safe' sex, vampire style. Again I'm left wondering where Price intends to take this erotically charged but unbalanced couple, and whether Wild Bill can ever learn to be more than just resigned to his fate.
And again, I'm left hungry for more, which shows Ms Price knows her business. Damn her 😉 Highly recommended, if you like the vampire genre.

After Today's Game, Creative Midfielder Confirm Arsenal's Deal Done
Goonersden brings you news from top football news sites from the likes of ESPN, SkySport, Daily Mail, Daily Star and Metro… We also Analyse football, player, transfer and predict Arsenal starting line-up.
Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has dropped a huge hint about his future at the club, prompting speculation that he is set to sign a new contract at the Emirates.
The 26-year-old declared his love for the club and his wish that long may his playing days for the Gunners to continue. Wilshere has suffered a career blighted with injuries, and rumours were rife this summer that the England international would leave the Emirates after going on loan to Bournemouth last season.
Now, however, the midfielder seems to have turned a new corner as he has been involved in an extended run of matches for the North London outfit, most recently impressing in the their 1-1 draw with West Brom as well as the eventful 3-3 thriller against Liverpool and 2-2 draw against Chelsea at the Emirates.
Wilshere took to social media that despite his numerous setbacks, he has never stopped believing and his ambition to stay at the club for the long-term.
"After another set back, i never stopped dreaming and believing. If 2017 has taught me anything it would be NEVER GIVE UP!!! Love playing for this club and long may it continue. Looking forward to 2018," the star captioned on Instagram.

(Source: Variety.com) Another Hollywood name is taking aim at the vidgame world.
Oscar-winning visual effects studio Rhythm & Hues Studios is teaming with Japan's Brosta TV to create new intellectual properties for the global gaming market. One of the first areas the partnership intends to focus on is the mobile game market.
The first products are expected to be introduced this spring and will blend eastern and western styles in an attempt to appeal to a global audience.
Beyond mobile games, the partnership will also look to expand into books, graphic novels and — eventually — film and TV.
Traditional media content providers have shown a growing interest in the mobile gaming space, which has been driven by the success of the iPhone, but the Brosta/R&H teaming is the first formal partnership that will go after the market.
The partnership also hopes to expand into the social networking game space (i.e. Facebook), which is also experiencing rapid growth.
R&H is no stranger to the gaming world. The company has worked with EA on its "Sims" franchise as well as with Activision Blizzard on the "Guitar Hero" titles.
Its film credits include Oscar-winning "The Golden Compass"

A Chat With Virginia Hayden – Hypnotherapist, NLP and EFT Practitioner
I recently had the opportunity to have a chat with the talented and lovely Virginia Hayden who is a Hypnotherapist, NLP and EFT practitioner and coach with clinics in Daventry and Mayfair. Virginia has a wealth of experience in helping people change their life and I was very excited to find out what she does. These changes might be stopping smoking, controlling weight, reducing anxiety or getting rid of a phobia once and for all. What is amazing is that most issues can be resolved quickly and easily. With this in mind, I wanted to know more about what Virginia can offer and asked her some questions.
What made you decide to retrain as a therapist?
After recovering from ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and not wanting to return to my former career, I decided to retrain as a therapist. Having been impressed by the therapies which had contributed so much to my recovery, I trained in three core methods: hypnotherapy, NLP and Emotional Freedom Techniques.
If I come to see you, what are the biggest benefits you can offer me?
- Being able to make personal changes quickly, easily and enjoyably
- Being able to let go of problems and focus on solutions
- Being able to think differently, feel differently and behave differently
When you had ME, you must have had some low times. What are 3 things that helped during these times?
- Looking up towards the sky not down at my feet
- Humour – in books, drama and in life
- Contact with those I love and trust
I am curious to know, what are the most frequent issues that people come seeking help with?
People come to me either wanting to solve a problem – whether related to health, emotions or behaviour – or because they want to improve or build on an existing ability. Sometimes, people simply want to be happier. Usually, they want the change to be quick and painless. The methods I use can often help clients to get rapid change. Examples of issues include phobias, fear and anxiety, traumatic memories, physical illness, changing unhelpful habits, stress, weight management. Improvements sought include enhancing performance at work – maybe even as actual performers; being happier in whatever stage of life people may be in.
What are 3 nuggets of advice you would like to share
- Remember that the best thing about the past is that it's over; learn from it but don't let it dominate your life .
- Know that you can control your thoughts and your feelings
- Emphasise humour and fun in life and work: "if what you are doing isn't fun, you're probably not doing it properly."
I would like to know what books you would recommend
I would recommend any writing – books or scripts – which makes you laugh, including laughing at yourself. Such a list would be age- and culture-specific but my favourite humorous writers include: P.G.Wodehouse, Nora Ephron, Woody Allen, Douglas Adams, Jennifer Saunders, Gervase Phinn, Therber, Jane Austen, David Nobbs
I would like to know, if you could go back and talk to your self as you were at 20 years of age, what advice would you give your younger self?
I would tell her to learn and enjoy – always.
What brings you joy?
Paying attention to what is around me – people and the rest of the natural world. So, the sky, trees, daffodils, my neighbours, birdsong. Above all, being with my delightful, fascinating grandsons, especially hearing them laugh.
And, finally, if someone wants to contact you because they want to change an aspect of their life, what is the best way of doing so?
You could begin by looking at my website www.changeforthebetter.org.uk – then, if there is anything you would like to ask or if you'd like to discuss getting help for a change you want to make, do e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com. We can arrange a 30 minute talk by phone, skype or face-to-face, free of charge.
Thank you Virginia for your time. If you have made a decision to change your life – your health, your behaviour or your emotional life then Virginia is the person who can help you to make it happen.

Nikon Df Gold Edition to be limited to 1,600 units only
Nikon really loves its Df DSLR and gold. So much that it has announced yet another Gold Edition for the camera, but this time with a more subdued treatment. Opting for gold accents instead of smothering the whole camera in the color, this limited edition Nikon Df will be available in a total of 1,600 units only, 600 for only a camera and 1,000 including a kit. In all other aspects aside from the color, this Nikon Df remains exactly the same lightweight FX-format camera as the original.

I have always encouraged Catholics to own a copy of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC), and I used to import cheap(er) copies to sell. It is a good book to have as reference material, especially to check up on the teaching of the Church. However, the nature of the book makes it a kind of an 'encyclopaedia' of Church teaching, and unless one is interested in a certain topic, reading the whole Catechism can be quite laborious. The exception is the part on "Prayer" (Part Four of the Catechism). I want to quote you one paragraph from this section as it speaks also of this Sunday's Gospel passage:
"If you knew the gift of God!" The wonder of prayer is revealed beside the well where we come seeking water: there, Christ comes to meet every human being. It is he who first seeks us and asks us for a drink. Jesus thirsts; his asking arises from the depths of God's desire for us. Whether we realize it or not, prayer is the encounter of God's thirst with ours. God thirsts that we may thirst for him" (CCC Para. 2560):
We tend to think of his thirsts only as a physical thirst. But God in coming to us, incarnated in the flesh, shows us he 'thirst' for us. It is God who first seeks us. Yes, God thirsts, Jesus thirsts….. and in this Sunday's Gospel passage (John 4:5-42 (or >< 4:5-15.19-26.39-42) we find Him asking for a drink from a Samaritan woman. The exchange is one full of significance, which hopefully we priests will highlight some of them in our homilies.
Throughout the ages, men and women have expressed the human person's thirst for God. We see this in the famous Psalm 42: "As a deer yearns for running streams, I yearn for you my God. I thirst for God the Living God….." (Psalm 42:1).
St Augustine expressed it in this way: "Our hearts are restless until they rest in you." And the Catechism in an earlier paragraph (33) speaks of the human person has "longings for the infinite" which only God can fulfill.
But God thirsts too. As the Catechism says: God thirsts that we may thirst for Him. May we be quench by the Living Water of which Jesus speaks in the Gospel.
God bless Fr Michael

Bunk Bed Lighting Tips
Bunk beds are a functional alternative to traditional beds in a smaller bedroom or a room that must be shared by siblings. When decorating a room with bunk beds, don't forget that children need lighting for homework and play. Removable lighting options can be easily changed in the future if you redo the room's design and remove the bunk beds.
Safety Issues
Never place a bunk bed near an overhead light fixture or ceiling fan due to the possibility of children on the top bunk hitting their heads or burning themselves on a hot light bulb. A child who hits his head on an overhead fixture may also break the fixture, scattering dangerously sharp glass around the bedroom, or fall off the top bunk.
Overhead Fixtures
Choosing an overhead fixture for a room with bunk beds is not always an easy task. A ceiling fan is only an option if the room is large enough that it can be installed at a safe distance from the top bunk. Even then, consider that the person getting the majority of the circulating air and light in the room will be the person who sleeps on the top bunk. If the room is small, consider recessed lighting or forgo a traditional overhead fixture.
Task Lighting
Sconces built into the bed itself or installed along the wall next to the bunk bed are an easy way to give bunk-bed residents adequate task lighting. Make sure sconces installed near bedding do not use light bulbs that get dangerously hot. Place table lamps on desks, nightstands or custom shelves next to both the bottom and top bunks to meet the needs of those sleeping in both beds. For reading at night, use plug-in lamps that can be clamped onto the rails.
Battery-Operated Lights
To avoid having to wire in extra electrical outlets or fixtures, use battery-operated lights. Attach push-button lights along the rails inside the bottom of the bunk bed and along the wall next to the top bunk to give kids an instant glow whenever they need it. Old-fashioned flashlights are another option when you do not want to install permanent fixtures. Even if the bunk beds go when the kids move out, the flashlights can go with them as a reminder of nights spent reading under the covers during childhood.

Happy Tuesday!
I'm in the midst of a pathetic little pity party. My mysterious injury has worsened to the point that I decided not to run my first full marathon on May 6th. I am SO dejected and disappointed. I have never really had to deal with an injury like this, so I'm kind of at a loss. I made an appointment with my primary care physician for April 30; in the meantime I will be seeing a highly recommended massage therapist and taking a break from running (gulp). Anyone out there have experience with a chiropractor, positive or negative? This is a pain in my left hip area, pretty high up (maybe my pelvic bone?). The pain radiates to my lower back. So odd, and so frustrating.
In other news . . . who watched Mad Men on Sunday night? OMG! What was your favorite moment? I loved everything about the fistfight scene, I was LOLing big time. Best moment since the riding lawnmower scene, IMHO.
In political news, the comically tone-deaf GOP predictably blocked the Buffet Rule Bill. Polls show that 7 out of 10 Americans are in favor of such a bill.
What's on your mind? Chat away!

Barton, R. A. (2006) 'Primate brain evolution : integrating comparative, neurophysiological and ethological data.', Evolutionary anthropology., 15 (6). pp. 224-236.
"Undoubtedly the most distinctive trait of the Primates, wherein this order contrasts with all other mammalian orders in its evolutionary history, is the tendency towards the development of a brain which is large in proportion to the total body weight, and which is particularly characterized by a relatively extensive and often richly convoluted cerebral cortex (p. 228)."1 While this statement is generally true, primate brains vary in size nearly one thousand-fold, from a mass of 1.8 g in the tiny mouse lemur to 1,300 g in modern humans. Many attempts have been made to understand both the distinctiveness of primate brains and the variation observed within the order: How did such variation evolve and why, and what are its cognitive implications? Following Jerison's2 masterly review thirty years ago, comparative studies have highlighted suggestive correlations of brain size. However, the meaning and validity of these correlations have been vigorously debated. It has become clear that progress depends on taking great care in the use of comparative methods and in finding multiple converging strands of comparative evidence as opposed to making speculative interpretations of single correlations. In particular, recent work demonstrates the value of examining how evolutionary changes at different anatomical levels interrelate.

Alan Kitching is a British graphic designer, animator, architect and software developer. There is a lot of practitioners whose work I don't particularly like and get it. I look for those who inspire me and trigger ideas in my head to the point when I just want to give it a go by myself.
I like the idea of the textured type. I could use type and embed images or shapes in the text so still main focus is on the text. I could use letterpress room and the wooden type to do it and then edit it digitally. However first of all I need a slogan that I could use and make it work effectively.
Maybe slogan similar to "It's what inside that counts" could work as type could have some interesting texture inside. Or the other way round-outside text all pretty and colourful but inside dark and rotten?
It also reminded me when I have turned one of the words created in the letterpress room digital and created more texture to it. I like this type of type rather than when the type is all filled in and perfectly straight.
My second idea for a slogan was something like "Don't sink in to this world's cruelty" or "don't sink under the pressure". It gave me an idea to create floating letters. I have used slogan "Always stay on top". It actually is hard to come up with a slogan on demand and a slogan that is not out there yet. I also need to remember to keep it short so the placard is not too clattered.
I must've looked at this picture loads of times and only yesterday I realised I missed out letter "Y" in word "always"…interesting
I have added some soap to the water as foam keeps the letters more still. I have also added some colour and maybe I will experiment with the colour of the water? Or simply add some effects in Photoshop and learn some new skills at the same time. Yes I am obsessed with digital package recently after doing my animation my confidence has gone up. My work may be very basic but I love the learning curve and to see the progress.

That's cool that they are getting the kids to think about their impact on the environment at a young age. I've been using those fabric reuseable snack baggies found on Amazon. for my kids lunches. they are great! Love that your daughter gets stickers and a prize.

Thanks to you I am kind of obsessed with the plastic ball jars. We use them all the time :)

i found a lidded, divided tray (for leftovers) at walmart and it fits inside my daughter's lunch box perfectly! no more baggies! but, i would love to know what kind of bottle you're using for her drinks and do you ever have trouble with it leaking? thanks!

What a fun idea! My daughter's school has big recycling competitions, but I've never heard of this. I'll have to pass it on to the powers that be :)

About The Teacher
Tracie was born in Australia and moved to Peru in 2009. She is a drug & alcohol counsellor and teacher. She has a history of addiction and has spent over 10 years researching various recovery and rehabilitation methods before deciding to settle in Peru to pursue further study into plants medicines. Trace founded " Corazon Tranquilo" in Iquitos where she offered traditional western counseling alongside the use of Ayahuasca and San Pedro with far superior results than those offered in the west. As interest in treatment through plant medicines increased she started the "Hummingbird Ayahuasca Healing Center", which she ran until mid 2012. Tracie then joined with with Ron Wheelock to help start El Puergero, before setting up and running Phoenix Ayahuasca, a retreat centre in Iquitos, for another 2 years.
After meeting David Walton in the jungle and after many long discussions she has decided to join forces with him, move to the mountains, and help out at Munay Medicina.

I've known Tracie Thornberry for over 5 years since I was a client of hers at a centre she ran in the jungle. The impact Ayahuasca had on me was profound and with Tracie's enouragement I returned to Peru to work with the medicines for 5 years. Tracie is one of those rare people who have walked through the darkness in the valley of their own soul, which personifies the shamanic way. We often characterise the shaman as one who is an indigenous medicine person, performing rituals and communicating with spirits. However, shamans come in many guises some of which are not so obvious. Tracie is an example. Her way is much more subtle and reflects a valuable synergy between Western depth psychology and esoteric shamanism. As a qualified addictions counsellor she possesses skills which are a rare combination of deep listening, non judgement and laser like observations which may be challenging to hear but contain a truth which cannot be ignored. You feel entirely at ease in her company and cannot help but be impressed by the graceful and thoughtful way in which she conducts herself and lives her life. Few people have impressed me as much with their natural understanding of the soul or psyche. Even fewer have impressed me with how gently they work with its' dark corners. For those who wish to experience the healing and learning qualities of the shamanic medicines, guided and supported by an experienced practitioner, Tracie Thornberry exemplifies the best qualities of the graceful and compassionate guide.
Mindy West February 19, 2016
Going to a retreat with Tracie was a wonderful experience! She really helped me understand and learn about the medicines we were working with (Ayahuasca, San Pedro, Sapo), and how they were working with me. Tracie's counseling skills and genuine interest in her clients is what makes going to her retreat a truly transformative experience. The amount of healing and insights I got from 10 days with Tracie is more than I have in any other retreat or spiritual activity!
Molly M. February 06, 2016
I had the pleasure of meeting Tracie at a retreat I attended at Phoenix Ayahuasca and I can't think of a better person to be doing this type of work than her. She has "walked the walk" so to speak and exemplifies what it means to be a healer on all levels. She is kind, intuitive, patient, compassionate, and very experienced/knowledgeable about plant medicines. She will hold your hand and walk your journey with you if that's what you need at the moment, but isn't afraid to hold up the mirror when appropriate and make you look inside yourself for answers because that's ultimately where they are, waiting to be uncovered by you. Through her own healing and work with others who suffer or are simply seeking Truth, Tracie has found her calling in life and is devoted to helping everybody she comes into contact with. I'm grateful my path crossed with hers (albeit briefly) and am forever imprinted with her love and kindness.

By Luiraf Garcia – Entrepreneur. Sales and Marketing Manager.
In my first article on this blog, I want to talk about what in Canada is called "Networking" which is how you can create a database of individuals having a common interest.
Networking may have different approaches: recreational, sporting purposes, professional interest, etc. The important thing here is to establish links with individuals or groups of them who share and want to achieve their same goals.
Today in particular, I will be focused on Professional Networking.
Since my arrival in Canada, some years ago, the first thing I heard from different sources was: "to succeed in this country you need to have great level of English and to establish an excellent Networking". That prayer was etched permanently in my brain.
It was through Networking I got my first job in this country, and by doing the same I got my second job, much better than the first one. Also, Networking was the way by which I received the offer from several Canadian educational institutes to represent them in Latin America, the Caribbean, Europe and Africa. This was the key to creating my own company, which has advised nearly 1,000 students around the world, about studies in Canada. Continuar leyendo "The Importance of Networking"

:bulletred: General Chat Network Policies :bulletred:
Keep It Legal
Acting in an illegal fashion or discussion of illegal activities is not allowed. DeviantArt is not responsible for anything you say or for any consequences that may arise from your words and actions. Those that break this rule will be the one's held responsible, not DeviantArt.
Asking for or providing assistance in obtaining pirated software or media is not permitted. Neither is the use of the Chat Network to circulate or distribute defamatory, obscene, sexual, or other illegal material, text, or images. The use of the Chat Network for chats relating to illegal drugs or drug paraphernalia is strictly prohibited and requests for help with self-mutilation or suicide will not be tolerated.
Also please note that the use of dAmn to link to external web pages that violate these rules is strictly prohibited.
No Thanks, We Don't Want Any
The Chat Network is not to be used for commercial purposes without the consent of DeviantArt, Inc. (this does not include the promotion of on site prints in appropriate channels). This includes spamming or advertising for outside companies.
Accept Responsibility
You are responsible for anything you say while you use the Chat Network, and for protecting your own system. You are responsible for any actions you take based on information you receive online. Use your own judgment when evaluating information provided through the use of the network.
Please don't give out personal information like passwords and credit card details online.
:bulletred: Official Chatroom Rules :bulletred:
General Information
All Official chatrooms are supported and moderated by the Community Volunteer Team. Official Chatrooms are denoted by the small Fella icon listed next to it on the main chat page. Generally speaking, #help and #devart are the only Official chatrooms on the network and follow the same policy as DeviantArt's Etiquette policy.
Abusing Public Communication/Spamming
Avoid spamming or flooding (continuous posting of repetitive text) in an official room. We ask you not to do this as it disrupts the flow of chat for other users.
The posting of unsolicited advertisements for DeviantArt profiles, chatrooms, deviations, external web pages or large random copy / paste of texts is also considered spamming. It's rude to ask everyone to visit your page or website, also, large amounts of text are disruptive to the flow of chat.
Harassment/Inappropriate Language
Inappropriate language can include any language that in any way looks like, sounds like, or abbreviates any of the following: profanity, sexual content, explicit language, inappropriate references to sexual preferences, or offensive remarks (such as racial, ethnic, religious, or sexual).
We may remove anyone who advocates or encourages expressions of violence, bigotry, racist, or hatred as we see fit.
Actions that either incite or encourage others to violate these and other policies will not be tolerated.
We encourage our members to treat each other with respect. Do not threaten, harass, stalk, or abuse others.
Other Things To Note
We expect the mood of rooms to remain civil at all times. For this reason we ask that you keep personal issues in private and that you not use official rooms as a place to fight and argue. If such an event should happen then an Community Volunteer will step in and take whatever action is deemed necessary.
Because this a global community, people of many nationalities and languages can be found in the chatrooms. To help the DeviantArt staff, all official chatrooms are English speaking rooms only. This is so that we can moderate the rooms and help people where necessary to the best of our abilities. However, there are many unofficial channels which are multi-lingual for your use.
Moderation and Bans
Bans are set at the discretion of the Community Volunteer setting the ban. The minimum period for any ban is 1 day (24 hours) and can be anything up to indefinite. If you have a query about a ban in an official room then you can inquire about it through the Help Desk.
The creation or use of existing accounts for the purpose of ban evasion is not tolerated and will result in the extension of the ban period, as well as a possible ban on all alternate accounts from the Chat Network and DeviantArt itself.
:bulletred: Unofficial Chatroom Rules :bulletred:
General Information
In general, administration of an unofficial, user-created chatroom is left to the founder and moderators that the founder chooses. The Community Volunteers will not get involved in Unofficial rooms except under certain conditions.
All unofficial chatrooms are the personal creations of other deviants. The rules and regulations of these chatrooms are set by the founder and their moderators. Any abuse which may occur in an unofficial chatroom should be reported to that particular chatroom's founder and moderators - it is their responsibility to maintain the order of their room.
Community Volunteers will only take action in unofficial chatrooms in cases of extreme abuse, violation of DeviantArt's general Chat Network policies, or where the integrity of DeviantArt or the Chat Network is at stake. Please contact the room's founders and moderators before seeking to involve the Community Volunteers. If you experience extreme forms of harassment in a user-created channel, please notify a member of the Community Volunteer Team in the #help chatroom.
When taking action in unofficial rooms, the Community Volunteers will always use DeviantArt policies as a guide for suitable action.
Unofficial Chatroom Content
The Chat Network is for everyone, and we welcome you to create a room for almost any reason you like, whether it be for music discussion, to find people in your area, or to trade art and photography. However, there are a few types of rooms that we do not allow:
- Sexual Themes: We do not allow deviations of an explicit sexual nature on DeviantArt, and so we do not allow rooms that are for the discussion of explicit sexual topics. The use of rooms for "cybersex", sexual roleplay, or the acting out of sexual situations, is also not allowed.
- Self-Mutilation and Suicide: Rooms for the purpose of discussing or glorifying the practice of "cutting", or any type of suicide and self-mutilation are not allowed
- Warez/Cracks/Serials/File Sharing: We do not allow any room created for the purpose of distributing or encouraging the distribution of illegal software, serial numbers, or cracks.
Users who create a room that violates any of the above policies will have their room closed, and an appropriate punishment, which can range from a warning to a Chat Network ban or site-wide ban. If you are not sure if your room falls within the guidelines, please feel free to talk to one of the Community Volunteers.
The above list is not all-inclusive, and there may be situations where a room violates the etiquette policy in another way. In these cases, the Community Volunteers will make the final decision regarding the room. If your room has been closed, you may contact Help Desk to file an appeal, and the situation will be investigated. However, please note that we will only discuss Administrative action regarding channels with the Channel Founders.
If you find a chatroom that is violating policy, please use the Help Desk to report it or contact a member of the Community Volunteer Team in #help
Custom Group and Chatroom Names
In order to avoid confusion between your private #chatroom operators and actual DeviantArt staff and administration, we require that you do not use the term "Staff" or "Admin" in reference to your private chatroom or your operators or founders.
Whilst we encourage you to be imaginative and creative with your approach to operating custom chatrooms, we would ask that you follow these simple guidelines in order to prevent any misunderstandings or misrepresentations on the network.
If your chatroom has a level which is named Staff or Admin then please rename this in accordance with these guidelines. If your channel is found with the titles Staff or Admin in your privclass levels, you will be asked by a member of the Community Volunteer Team to rename the level accordingly. Your channel may be delisted until this has been completed.
Also, please do not create chatrooms with "Staff" or "Admin" in chatroom name.

Of course nations are the conceived concept that political boundaries determine the land of birthright for a people, the culture and origin of a people. Or really? A nation exists not in the boundaries defined through the words of man! A nation is no boundary, is no existence placed in the wisdom of man but it is the seed of man! For every man and woman is a nation, a generation, a clan, a people!
Ask and i will give the nations to you! For real, you are your brothers keeper. Perceive this and you will adjust your mind to see people differently.

Makers' Dublin
1. Stable
With a focus purely on Ireland's rich textile heritage, Stable works with artisans from around the country to bring a luxurious edit of linen and woollen products. The brand's Herringbone scarves for example, take 4-6 weeks to complete on looms at Donegal Yarns on the west coast. The brand's collection also extends to homewares including table linens, towels, throws and blankets but for a real piece of woven decadence, try on a kimono-style robe made from Huck linen
stable.ie; The Westbury Mall, Balfe Street, Dublin 2, Ireland
2. Industry & Co.
Since opening in 2010, Industry & Co. has become Dublin's largest and best-known independent design store. Brother and sister duo Marcus and Vanessa Mac Innes oversee the deli and the shop's creative direction respectively – the store offers an array of new and upcycled furniture, beautiful Irish wool blankets, locally crafted jewellery and ceramics, and features a mix of local designers alongside some of the most talented makers from Europe, the US and Japan. When you're tired of shopping, the deli offers a selection of delicious and healthy Middle Eastern lunch options too.
industryandco.com; Industry & Co., 41 Drury St, Dublin, Ireland
3. Irish Design Shop
The four-storey Irish Design Shop on Drury Street is true to its name – everything inside the shop is made by up-and-coming local artisans. Established in 2008 at the height of the Irish craft revival, the store was the first of its kind to promote local design-led products and the people behind them. Jewellery takes centre stage (founders Clare Grennan and Laura Caffrey are both jewellers) but look out for the Áras range of homewares, designed exclusively for the store. We particularly like the wall hooks by Sligo-based woodturner Matt Jones.
Irishdesignshop.com; Irish Design Shop, 41 Drury St, Dublin 2, Dublin 2, Ireland
4. Article
It's located in the Georgian setting of Lord Powerscourt's old dressing room, at the Powerscourt Townhouse Centre, yet Article stocks some of the best contemporary Irish homewares around. You'll find beautiful terracotta plates and serving dishes in soft blues and pastels, dainty coloured-glass drinking glasses, and elegant trays and coasters too. Most of what's on offer is locally crafted, but you'll find the odd exotic treat such as ostrich feather dusters amongst the china too. The place also smells incredible, thanks to an exceptional selection of scented candles, largely crafted in Ireland – be sure to add one to your basket.
Articledublin.com; Article, Powerscourt Townhouse, South William St, Dublin 2, Ireland
5. Designist
For something a little more quirky, be sure to pay Designist a visit. Inside, you'll find a range of unusual items that look great and make for innovative gifts – a bright retro tea towel bearing a 1980s advert for a packet of Tayto crisps, for example, or apothecary style candles made in Cork with scents such as tobacco, cognac and oak. It's an eclectic mix, but everything is beautifully made and most items are from Irish designers. There's also a curated selection of wedding gifts, that includes everything from oak decanters to chalk board clocks.
designist.ie; 68 S Great Georges St, Dublin 2, Ireland
6. Scout
Originally a clothes store, stocking brands like YMC, Armor Lux and Grenson, Scout in Temple Bar has expanded its offering to incorporate a selection of design-led homewares. Nowadays, you'll find beautiful wool blankets and scarves from Donegal design studio McNutt, candles from Dublin-based Clean Slate and pottery from local collective Arran St East. And, it's worth keeping an eye out for collections by local girl Emma Manley while you're there, one of Ireland's leading contemporary fashion designers.
scoutdublin.com; Scout, 5 Essex St W, Temple Bar, Dublin 2, Ireland
7. Kilkenny Shop
For the last 50 years, Kilkenny Shop has been at the forefront of promoting Irish craft and design. Now boasting 13 shops nationwide, they have three boutiques in Dublin – Stillorgan, Swords and Nassau Street, perhaps the largest emporium for Irish-designed products. The brand was the first to champion the likes of Orla Kiely and John Rocha, and continues to pick up pieces from the most talented new Irish designers.
Kilkennyshop.com; Kilkenny Shop, 6 Nassau Street, Dublin 2, Ireland
8. Paul Sheeran Jewellers
Since opening in 1990, Paul Sheehan Jewellers has established itself as one of Ireland's leading names in the field. Its Watch Room showcases some of the finest horology including luxury Swiss watches, while its jewellery offering, spanning a range of diamond jewellery including engagement rings, is one of the few in the country to boast an in-house team of designers, goldsmiths and watchmakers. The result is a blend of an exceptional service ethos along with the capacity to take on bespoke designs and personalisation options for particularly intricate pieces.

Often times there are extra wires in the wall, and you can use one of those wires to power your Thermostat. Follow the directions below:
- Turn off power to your HVAC unit
- Find your thermostat terminal block inside of your HVAC unit (you most likely have to remove a protective panel)
- Connect one of the extra wires to the "C" terminal on your HVAC unit (this likely has a "C" label, and possibly has another wire connected to it)
- Connect the other end of the same wire to the "C" terminal on the thermostat
- Replace protective panels on the thermostat and power back on your HVAC
- Test that the thermostat has power by removing the batteries. If the screen stays on when the batteries have been removed, then you have successfully applied power to the thermostat.

Brain-Related Predictors of Alcohol Relapse
Chronic alcohol abuse is a leading health problem in Western societies. The issue has individual and societal ramifications that include costly health expenditures, disability, and mortality (Oscar-Berman & Marinkovic, 2007). Accordingly, empirical efforts to better understand the impact of chronic alcohol abuse on brain functioning and treatment outcomes have emerged (e.g., Brokate, Hildenbrandt, Eling, Fichtner, & Runge, 2003; Harper, 2007; Oscar-Berman & Marinkovic, 2007). Despite these efforts, alcohol abuse and rates of relapse continue to be problematic. Furthermore, despite much of the alcohol-related treatments being devoted to relapse prevention, the literature on the brain mechanisms involved in chronic abuse and relapse are sparse. Therefore, there is a need for increased research investigating brain-related changes that may increase the risk of relapse, as well as neural mechanisms that help to predict persons most at risk for alcohol abuse. The highlighted article illustrates how gray matter volume deficits in specific brain regions (i.e., medial frontal, lateral prefrontal, and posterior parietal-occipital) may contribute to increased risk of relapse to alcohol.
Association of Frontal and Posterior Cortical Gray Matter Volume with Time to Alcohol Relapse: A Prospective Study (2014)
Objective: Alcoholism is associated with gray matter volume deficits in frontal and other brain regions. Whether persistent brain volume deficits in abstinence are predictive of subsequent time to alcohol relapse has not been established. The authors measured gray matter volumes in healthy volunteers and in a sample of treatment-engaged, alcohol dependent patients after 1 month of abstinence and assessed whether smaller frontal gray matter volume was predictive of subsequent alcohol relapse outcomes.
Method: Forty-five abstinent alcohol dependent patients in treatment and 50 healthy comparison subjects were scanned once using high-resolution (T1-weighted) structural MRI, and voxel-based morphometry was used to assess regional brain volume differences between the groups. A prospective study design was used to assess alcohol relapse in the alcohol-dependent group for 90 days after discharge from 6 weeks of inpatient treatment.
Results: Significantly smaller gray matter volume in alcohol-dependent patients relative to comparison subjects was seen in three regions: the medial frontal cortex, the right lateral prefrontal cortex, and a posterior region surrounding the parietal-occipital sulcus. Smaller medial frontal and parietal-occipital gray matter volumes were each predictive of shorter time to any alcohol use and to heavy drinking relapse.
Conclusions: These findings are the first to demonstrate that gray matter volume deficits in specific medial frontal and posterior parietal-occipital brain regions are predictive of an earlier return to alcohol use and relapse risk, suggesting a significant role for gray matter atrophy in poor clinical outcomes in alcoholism. Extent of gray matter volume deficits in these regions could serve as useful neural markers of relapse risk and alcoholism treatment outcome.

In this video, researchers at the University of California, San Diego discuss how neuroimaging techniques may have predictive utility in anticipating what individuals are more inclined to abuse alcohol.

Yes, you are reading that right. We know of course that audiences come to TV for entertainment. But what has not been true to date has been that TV is coming to the audience. Out of many corners of the industry, ad buyers and sellers are starting to take the rules they learned from the digital universe that targeted, relevant ads get more attention and apply that to TV.
In the waning days of summer, a number of pointers to an audience-driven future began to emerge. In case you missed it, WPP's Xaxis declared itself the largest audience buying platform in the industry (continuing to separate itself from the term trading desk) and Mike Finnegan, formerly of Xaxis, is leading programmatic for LiveNation to divide that company's assets (entertainment and first party data) into audiences that can be targeted. These two announcements, one buy-side and one sell-side, foretell a shift in attitude from buying demographics like age and gender, to applying those insights and other behavioral datasets to establish more refined targets for TV ads, driven by TV's continued fragmentation and audience dystopia. Done well, advertisers and media sellers will benefit from new ways of delivering the best ad at the best time in terms of reach (for the buyers) and greater monetization (for the sellers).
From the marketer's point of view, how do you prepare for an audience-led approach to TV ad placement?
- Get your first-party data in shape for active duty. The era of Big Data has left a lot of marketers with that nagging "Is that all there is?" feeling since big does not necessarily equate to insightful. Participating in the new world of audience-based marketing on TV will require a push to better understand which audiences you serve (or would like to) are the best TV targets. How do you know which targets to choose? They should be large enough to target based on reach, but specific enough to respond well to relevant offers.
- Beyond size, identify the audience targets based clarity and business potential. Not all audiences that you serve offer the same opportunity, of course. But you should have a sense for who is worth a higher CPM and finer targeting, versus those who can be reached with broader, less bespoke approaches. Revenue per customer, purchase history by segment, and the value of relevant messages to large but distinct groups, are the kinds of metrics to use to determine who is worth the finer granularity of an audience-specific campaign.
- Engage your agency to tie digital and TV planning and buying closer together. Which media agencies are going to stand out in the audience-driven era? Those who apply data and strategy to their client's audience needs, and decide which media serves that audience best for the marketing strategy laid out in front of them. So instead of having digital, print or mobile planning divorced from television buying, the agencies that tie these efforts together based on a conquest campaign, brand awareness effort, or promotion campaign will reap the benefits of working dollars working together.
- Work with media companies to understand their audience-centric targeting ability. Companies ranging from MTV to Conde Nast and Meredith have built in-house creative agencies that are media-agnostic, at least within their own set of owned and operated properties. As the video distribution ecosystem consolidates, and content marketing explodes from text articles to branded video content, expect to see the same effort from content owners and their distributors as well as upstarts that take the digital concept of audiences to the TV world.
Learn from the experience of your digital team they dealt with fragmentation and the need to tie spending to business outcomes early on in order to get the budget allocations to try new ideas. They may not have touched TV previously, but the new rules that are being written will look very familiar to them.

When my insurance company talks about material misrepresentation what does it mean?
If you are in a dispute with your insurance company and have heard the words 'material misrepresentation' as part of the dispute, you may have a serious issue on your hands. In this article we'll define material misrepresentation, talk about the possible causes and consequences, and finally, provide you with some possible avenues to help resolve any issues you might be having.
So, what exactly is 'material misrepresentation'? Material misrepresentation is a misstatement to a question asked during the application process that is so important that, had the truth been known, the insurance company would not have issued the policy or would have issued it with a higher premium.
If material misrepresentation is confirmed by the auto insurance or home insurance company, it will usually void the policy and coverage retroactively to when the policy was signed. Material misrepresentation is therefore a breach of the legal contract (which an insurance policy is) by the policyholder, which the insurance company can then cite as reason to declare the policy null and void (the insurance company may decide to return to the ex-policyholder all premiums paid to that point).
That said, material misrepresentation is not always so black and white – there can gray areas depending on the situation. In general, the main questions that the auto insurance or home insurance company and its investigators will ask are:
- Was there misrepresentation that was 'material' – i.e. is it so important that if known from the outset it would have fundamentally altered the contract?
- If there was material misrepresentation, was it intentional or just an error?
Now let's take a look at each of these questions.
1. Was there misrepresentation that was 'material' – i.e. is it so important that if known from the outset it would have fundamentally altered the contract?
Misrepresentation is basically an error(s) that the policyholder provided to the insurance company at the time of the policy being issued. So if someone accidentally had misstated something minor when applying for a policy – for example, stating that one had been with the current insurance carrier for 10 years when it was really 9 years – the most likely outcome when the error is discovered would be that the insurance company would simply update the policy, including any needed changes in the premium.
However, if the incorrect piece of information was 'material' (which could be either a missing piece(s) of information or a false claim of something in the application), then it is likely the insurance company will void the contract and return the premium, leaving the driver or homeowner uninsured from the time the policy was applied for (which could theoretically be up to any number of years). That said, it is possible that even with material misrepresentation, the insurance company may still decide that the policy is valid.
2. If there was material misrepresentation, was it intentional or just an error?
In certain cases, though, when the insurance company determines material misrepresentation and voids the contract, the insurance company may decide that insurance fraud has occurred if the investigators believe the misrepresentation was intentional. In this case, the investigators may also turn over the case to legal authorities and prosecution may occur.
As you can see, material misrepresentation is serious business that is taken very seriously by insurance companies and legal authorities. This blog does not offer legal advice, but we would suggest that anyone that receives a notice that their insurance company believes material misrepresentation has occurred should immediately speak with their insurance agent and possibly seek the advice of a lawyer as well.

I had my insurance voided by the 1st central,because of misrepresentation. I tried to explain that I don't know how it happened.
I did quotes on 2 different websites within certain time,but what i tried to explain to insurance company that I have opened the e-mail where there already was the information filled so I could not check at the time if all the information was correct.
My question is there something I can do or contact someone explaining the situation that it was an error I have made so I won't have to state that I had insurance voided in the future as the costs are vert high.

Meet Google Voice's Magic Phone Booth
On Wednesday, Google launched Google Voice via Gmail, a service that will allow users to place voice calls via Gmail. But Google will also place phone booths around public places that allow users to try Voice out for free.
So why should you care? Here's why: Because you can place a call to any landline or mobile in the world, for free.
That's right, for free. You don't need a calling card; you don't even need a Google account. Google executives said that users will be able to speak for either 20 or 30 minutes at a stretch, although it's not clear whether at that point users will be reminded of the limit, or will be kicked off altogether.
Google Voice via Gmail (or "Gmail Voice," perhaps) allows users to place free calls to any landline or mobile in the U.S. and Canada. But the phone booths, shaped like the old English red phone booths used by TV's Dr. Who, could be used to place a call to your uncle, a researcher in Anarctica, for free. If you used a Verizon cell phone, that would cost you a whopping $4.80 per minute, or $2.29 per minute using AT&T Wireless.
Even calling your uncle Franz in Austria will cost $1.49 on Verizon. And a directly-dialed international number from your home phone, via AT&T? You might pay $5 or more per minute without an international plan already in place.
At the demo booth Google set up at the press conference, the service had its glitches, the first being that a label on the phone inexplicably asked you to deposit a dime in the slot. The rotary-dial-styled phone also required you to pick it up, wait for a short period, then dial the number, ending in a "#" to initiate the call.
I placed a call to Sascha Segan, our phone analyst and a veteran of call tests. Sascha reported that he could hear background noise from the crowded press conference, as well as a slight buzz on the line. Otherwise, he said, my voice sounded normal. From my perspective, Sascha sounded crisp and clear; there was nothing to complain about. (Hands-on tests with Google's Voice via Gmail revealed few problems with call quality, although the integration with Google's Gmail contacts needed work.)
Vincent Paquet, the product manager for Google Voice, wouldn't disclose how many of the booths would be rolled out, or where they would be placed. He said universities would be considered a prime location, a boon for overseas students (who may also use Skype, which offers free calls to other Skype users). The booths may also possibly appear in airports and other public locations.
The booths will be used as a promotional tool to introduce the concept to the general public. One worry: vandalism, including those that might seek to either remove or otherwise tamper with the "phones" themselves. In that case, Google will have to terminate the Google Voice phone-booth plan, Paquet said.

Given the popularity of the affordable retailer (and the fact there isn't a store in Houston yet), the pieces are sure to sell out fast. H&M also plans to open its online store in spring 2012. Still, no word on a Houston store, but I'm certain Dallas is basking in the H&M glory with its new store.

Google is coming to the Taylor Community Library!
Google announced that it is coming to three cities and towns across Michigan this June as part of the tech company's Grow with Google initiative to help create economic opportunity in communities across the United States. Google will kick start this work locally by hosting free, one-day events in three libraries in Southeast, Mid and West Michigan to help job seekers, small business owners, students, educators and entrepreneurs improve their digital skills.
"We know digital skills are becoming more and more essential in today's workplace – let alone in the jobs of the future. That's why I'm excited to partner with Google and welcome them to Taylor and our state's downriver community," said U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell . "With the right tools and training in an increasingly digital economy, we can connect our hard-working and talented Michiganders to more and better jobs and ensure our businesses and nonprofits can grow and thrive."
Michigan Spring 2019 tour dates, cities and locations include:
"We know Michigan is a center for innovation, entrepreneurship and manufacturing. That's why we have two offices in Ann Arbor and Detroit and are so focused on continuing our work like this in the Great Lakes State. By bringing the 'Grow with Google' tour to the state again, we are continuing our commitment to help develop a skilled workforce that can meet the needs of Michigan's growing economy," said Erica Swanson, Google's head of Community Engagement .
In recognition that libraries are increasingly centers for digital skills learning, Grow with Google plans to visit libraries in every state, partnering with them to deliver digital skills training directly to job seekers and small businesses in their community. Library staff and nonprofit leaders will be trained on a range of Grow with Google's free tools and curriculum they can use on a daily basis.
Google staff will lead hands-on workshops about online marketing for small businesses, search engine optimization and everyday digital skills. Attendees can also sign up for one-on-one training with Google staff. Attendees are welcome to drop in for a few sessions or stay all day.
Google is partnering with each of the three libraries and numerous local and statewide community organizations. Following the Grow with Google event, Google will explore ongoing partnership opportunities with area organizations to help with job training and developing digital skills.
Google launched Grow with Google in October of 2017. The American initiative draws on Google's 20-year history of building products, platforms, and services that help people and businesses grow. Through this initiative, Google aims to help everyone across America – those who make up the workforce of today and those who will drive the workforce of tomorrow – access the best of Google's training and tools to grow their skills, careers, and businesses. The first Michigan stop was Lansing in 2018 where numerous ongoing partnerships were developed. This 2019 tour builds on that effort.
"Taylor Community Library is excited to partner with Google as part of our mission to enrich our community through education and technology," said Vanessa Verdun-Morris, director of Taylor Community Library . "Grow with Google will provide small business owners, job seekers, and entrepreneurs a place to connect with others in our community as they grow their digital skills. The event also provides an opportunity for our library to showcase our small business and career resources."
"Digital skills are crucial in today's job market. Whether you are an entrepreneur growing your small business, a job seeker transitioning to a new position, or just looking to enhance your skills in your current position, the library provides the tools needed," said John McNaughton, Director of the Grand Rapids Public Library . "By partnering with Google for their "Grow with Google"events, the Grand Rapids Public Library is able to offer a unique learning opportunity to our patrons to give them the skills and knowledge they need to succeed.
"Whether you're a student, a veteran, a teacher, or a local business owner, developing and honing your digital skill set in 2019 is incredibly important," Jackson District Library Director Sara Tackett said . "We've made a concerted effort at JDL to offer the community programming that highlights 21st Century skills, and we're excited to add this Grow with Google workshop to that list of programs and seminars here in Jackson County."
Specifically, Grow with Google aims to help address the skills gap by preparing Americans for middle-skill jobs, positions that require some skills but not four year degrees. According to the National Middle Skills Initiative, middle skills jobs account for more than half (54 percent) of Michigan's labor market, though a much smaller percentage of the state's workers are trained to that level. A recent study by Burning Glass and Capital One found that more than eight in 10 middle-skill jobs (82 percent) require digital skills. Overall, middle-skill jobs average $20 per hour.
In their 2018 Economic Impact Report, Google announced that 27,000 businesses in Michigan generated more than $6 billion in economic activity by using Google's search and advertising tools. The full report details Google's economic impact state-by-state, and features the stories of businesses -- like Suburban Bolt and Supply Co. headquartered in Macomb County's Roseville with locations in Port Huron and Grayling -- fueling that growth, creating job opportunities, and transforming their communities.
According to the American Library Association, nearly three-quarters of public libraries assist their patrons with job applications and interviewing skills, 90 percent help their patrons learn basic digital skills, and just under half provide access and assistance to entrepreneurs looking to start a business of their own.
To learn more about the free event and to register, visit g.co/growmichigan . Space will be limited so attendees are encouraged to register in advance.

Although some cruises offer kid-free onboard spaces or sanctuaries, those seeking a complete escape from the responsibilities of childminding can enjoy a carefree holiday aboard an adults-only cruise. Envision yourself lying in a pool chair with a frozen drink in your hand without a care in the world!
Choose to cruise 18+Let's face it: It's healthy to take a break from your children once in a while. It helps everyone gain a newfound appreciation for family, and it can truly breathe life into the mums and dads who haven't had a chance to romantically connect since baby number 3 arrived. Those who aren't parents may be even happier to escape the noise and temperaments of children during their holiday. Whatever your reason for choosing an adult cruise, just know that you're totally justified in taking some time to yourself - child-free.
No matter how you look at it, it's undeniable that rest and relaxation are among the main objectives of cruise passengers. A deck chocka block with children is far less likely to induce tranquility than a room with ambient music and light-hearted grown-up conversation.
Choose your retreatEven if you choose a cruise ship that allows children, there are generally kid-free areas on mainstream cruise lines. In addition to the seemingly obvious ones such as bars/lounges and late night shows, there are also adults-only pools, spas and various other retreats. When all else fails, heading to your private cabin area is still mint. Princess ships tend to include a "Sanctuary", which is a lovely, peaceful area where adults can relax. Similarly, Royal Caribbean ships are lauded for the Solarium pool which is primarily adults-only. The "Serenity" retreat found on Carnival ships boasts loungers, bars, spas and more. Last but not least, consider checking out the aptly named "Oasis" from P&O Australia.
Boost Your OddsImprove your chances of successfully booking an adults-only cruise by using the following strategies. Choose dates outside of school holidays if possible, as these are obviously times when holidaymakers are most likely to travel with kids. Opt for cruises of ten or more days, since fewer children tend to be booked onto lengthy cruises.
Lastly, if the budget allows, book a space on a luxury cruise line - although children are typically allowed on these ships, the fact that they do not cater to youth means that it's unlikely that children will be aboard.
If children are onboard, they are normally well-behaved and well travelled, and you won't be over-run by hordes of children.
Luxury cruise lines that do not offer children clubs are: Oceania, Azamara Club Cruises, Regent Seven Seas, Seabourn, Silversea Cruises and Viking Ocean Cruises.
No article on adults-only cruises would be complete without mentioning P&O UK: a company which offers adults only cruises on the ships Arcadia and Oriana. These midsized vessels cater exclusively to the over-eighteen crowd. It's rare to see them in the South Pacific outside of their World Cruises, but it could be worth the extra travel distance to see a new region while traveling in style!

Being the super-intuitive, always-knowing-what-my-husband-wants/needs/and hopes for kind of wife I am, I have the intuition that Kelly is planning on posting about all of the changes and exciting things that have consumed our lives for the past month or so here very soon. (Actually, I just happened to look at the camera and saw that he got some snapshots of them....ok, ok, so I'm not as sharp as I'd like to think!)
So in the meantime, I would just like a small vent session about how much pee a 4 month old puppy can produce. Did you know that if a puppy drinks 12 oz. of water, within the next 30 minutes 40 gallons of pee are produced?....or so it seems with our magnificent pee-hound. Kelly and I are a bit tired of scrubbing our brand new carpets and swiffering up puddles (P.S. Thanks AD and T-Rav for the swiffer, it's quite possibly the most useful gift we have ever received!) We did expect accidents, just not this many! I am taking this opportunity to plan for motherhood, however! When little baby Johnson comes, I'll be sure to post the stats on his/her flood gates!...I'm sure you're all waiting in anticipation for that ingriguing post! Patience!

Four Roses Bourbon BBQ Slow Cooker Pork #BourbonBBQ
May is National Barbecue Month in the U.S., and I celebrated with friends and family over some tasty Slow Cooker BBQ Pork in a homemade Four Roses spiked BBQ sauce. The sauce used in this slow cooker recipe could easily be mixed and used on the grill, too. I'd recommend whisking it up, using half to marinate your meat overnight, and retaining the other half to brush onto your meat as it cooks on the grill. Whether you use this sauce indoors or out, the flavor is bright and tangy with a nice, smooth kick. Pull out your best meat and vegetables and get to cooking!
Yield: Serves About 8
1 Medium Sweet Onion, deskinned and cut into large chunks
6 Cloves Garlic, deskinned
1/2 Cup Beef Broth
3.5 Lbs. Pork Shoulder or Boston Butt, most fat removed
1/2 Cup Four Roses Single Barrel Bourbon
1/2 Cup Honey
1 6 oz. Can Tomato Paste
2 Tbsp Whole Grain Mustard
3 Tbsp Brown Sugar
2 Tbsp Smoked Paprika
1 1/2 Tbsp Bourbon Smoked Sea Salt
1/2 Tsp Ground Cumin
1/2 Tsp Ground Cinnamon
FOR ADDITIONAL BBQ SAUCE (use after cooking)
3 Tbsp Four Roses Single Barrel Bourbon
3 Tbsp Honey
2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
1/2 Tbsp Whole Grain Mustard
1 Tsp Paprika (not smoked)
1 Tsp Bourbon Smoked Sea Salt
1/2 Tsp Cayenne Pepper
1. Layer bottom of slow cooker with Onions and Garlic. Pour Beef Broth over Onions.
2. Layer Pork on top of Onions and Broth.
3. In a small bowl whisk together Bourbon, Honey, Tomato Paste, Mustard, Brown Sugar, Smoked Paprika, Smoked Sea Salt, Cumin and Cinnamon to make a BBQ sauce.
4. Pour the BBQ sauce over the Pork and use a BBQ Brush or Spoon to smear BBQ sauce all around the Pork.
5. Cover slow cooker and set to cook for about 7 hours on a low setting. The Pork should be cooked through and easy to shred with a fork. (Do not overcook or the Pork will start to dry out.) Remove the Pork from the slow cooker onto a plate, leaving any sauce and juice in the crock, and allow it to rest for about 20 minutes.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together ingredients for Additional BBQ Sauce: Bourbon, Honey, Brown Sugar, Mustard, Paprika, Smoked Sea Salt and Cayenne and set aside.
7. After Pork has rested, shred apart and remove any excess bits of fat you may notice. Place the shredded Pork in a bowl and pour the additional BBQ sauce over the top. Stir to combine. Serve warm on a sandwich with buns and homemade pickles, or with sides of Baked Beans and Cole Slaw. Enjoy!
