Kenya Mission Trip—July 2018
In July of 2018, I traveled to Kenya and spent time taking care of orphanage business (read more about the Huruma visit) and ministering in various congregations. I was gone from home almost a month on this trip. The last week was spent in Malawi.
Bro. Peter and I had services with established saints and followed up with services in the congregations of some new ministers with whom I have corresponded for two years. There are some promising opportunities in new areas for the Word to be spread and God's church to be established. One particular congregation in the "interior" told me that I was the first white man to ever be in the area. On average, we had two services a day, traveling some very long distances to visit different groups.
Religion is a business in many areas of the world, and the enemy is trying to spoil true Christianity. It is always refreshing to find people who are hungry to receive the Word of God. The simple truth of the gospel is powerful and life changing, and it was a blessing to see souls saved from the power of sin.
Despite breakdowns, police stops, and evil spirits, God gave anointing and strength on this trip. I personally felt better physically than I have felt for many years. One of the complications I was suffering from my last trip stopped when I got back in Africa.
Before leaving home, I flew to Malawi for a few days of services (read more). I thank God and each one who prayed for me. The work is growing in Kenya and we are thankful for some faithful ministers there.

Rush Statement at Markup on the Strategic Petroleum Reserve Reform Act
WASHINGTON — Today, U.S. Representative Bobby L. Rush (D-Ill.), Ranking Member of the Energy Subcommittee of the Energy and Commerce Committee, delivered the following opening remarks at the markup on the Strategic Petroleum Reserve Reform Act:
"Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for holding this markup today examining legislation to authorize a pilot project to commercialize the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, or SPR.
"I also want to acknowledge and thank my good friend and colleague, Joe Barton of Texas, for working with my office on this bipartisan piece of legislation.
"Mr. Chairman, I must also commend the staff from both the minority and majority sides for working together on this bipartisan bill, which should help inform our decisions regarding the best use of the SPR moving forward.
"Mr. Chairman, as we know, the energy portfolio of the U.S. has undergone a dramatic change since the SPR was first established to counter the oil shortages of the 1970's.
"In fact, as the U.S. has transformed from a heavy importer of foreign oil, to a global leader in oil exports, the SPR is now used more as a piggybank to fund a vast variety of unrelated Congressional initiatives, rather than its initial purpose as an emergency energy backstop.
"Accordingly, Mr. Chairman, this bill will not only help to repurpose the SPR, but it will also actually bring in extra revenue by leasing storage space to friendly foreign allies and private companies.
"This funding could then be used to help pay for infrastructure upgrades to modernize these facilities and maximize the American taxpayers' return on this investment.
"So again, I want to thank you, Mr. Chairman, for holding this important markup today and I look forward to working with Mr. Barton and the majority side to move this bill expeditiously through committee, to the Floor, and ultimately to the President to be signed into law.
"Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and with that I yield back the balance of my time."

Amsterdam in 28 hours
I love Amsterdam and have just returned from my fourth visit to the city! It's got such a chilled out vibe & it's so pretty. I think I could go over & over again and never get bored. This time I went for one night which I have done previously, I don't mind this because the flight is so short but if it's your first visit you might be better doing 2 or more nights.
We landed at about 9.30 am and flew back out at 6pm so we had time each day to explore. I always get the train from Schiphol to Centraal which takes about 25 minutes and is around €5 single. There's ticket machines near entrances to the platforms.
We stayed at ClinkNOORD hostel which is in a fab location, you get a free ferry from just outside central which only takes a few minutes. The ferry runs 24 hours a day every 5 minutes or so. This is my second time staying here and I've always booked a private room with bathroom. I think for location, price & cleanliness you can't beat it. I was put of a hostel at first but you barely spend any time in the room & I'd definitely look at staying in more with a private room.
I love walking around the Jordaan, the canals are beautiful & there's some lovely bars & shops. It's a lot more peaceful than other areas so I'd definitely recommend a wander round here.
We then did a boat tour with Friendship Amsterdam, I've done tours with them twice before and have always really enjoyed it. It's €15 for an hour canal cruise and the staff are really knowledgeable & friendly. You can get drinks onboard and it was perfect having a local Gin on a sunny day.
After the boat we headed to The Museum of Prostitution, Red Light Secrets. It was fascinating to hear the story from the point o view of a prostitute , and what it's like to Work in the red light district. Definitely an eye opener and worth a visit.
Before we headed home the next day we went for Brunch at Bakers & Roasters, not far from the Heineken experience. The food is amazing here & all the staff are really friendly. It just has a lovely vibe to it. I had the Huevos Ranchos & a mimosa. I also had a coffee which was really good. I like strong coffee & it definitely is here. Well worth a visit.
I'd love to hear your favourite places to visit in Amsterdam as I'll definitely be going back again.
52 Books in 52 Weeks Challenge
Before I had Finn I used to be a real bookworm, I've managed to read 10 books on a 1 week holiday before now. I even queued at midnight on the nights a new Harry Potter book came out. A combination of being a busy working mum & a social media addict though has meant that I barely make time for reading anymore, so this new year I set myself the target completing the 52 books in 52 weeks challenge to hopefully find my love for reading again. I'm currently reading book 16, so I'll talk you through the ones I've read this year.
Currently Reading
'The Power' Naomi Alderman
This has been described as a cross between The Handmaid's Tale & The Hunger Games so I'm really looking forward to getting stuck into this.
'The Life Changing Magic of not Giving a F*ck' Sarah Knight
I really enjoyed some elements of this book and will definitely be taking on board not worrying so much and deciding what's important. I think it's a book you dip in and out of rather than get really stuck into.
'The Goddess Revolution' Mel Wells
I really enjoyed this book & it's a refreshing approach to always being on a diet & tied to the scales. I loved Mel's honesty about her own struggles with her weight, body image & mental health.
'The Other Child' Lucy Atkins
This was a bit of a mixed one for me, really gripping in parts & a bit slow in others. There was a lot of unanswered questions. I wouldn't really rush to recommend this one.
'Baby Doll' Hollie Overton
This was quite a gripping read and a good book for holiday when you've got time to read it quickly. I really loved Room by Emma Donoghue and this reminds me a bit of that.
'While My Eyes were Closed' Linda Green
I really enjoyed this thriller, you are kept guessing throughout. Lisa closes her eyes while playing hide & seek with her daughter. When she opens her eyes she finds her daughter gone, it's really gripping and I wanted to keep reading to find out what happens.
'How to Stop Time' Matt Haig
I absolutely loved this book, so beautifully written, I fell in love with a lot of the characters. Matt Haig is brilliant writer who links the whole story so cleverly. I'll definitely be reading some more of his books.
'The Rules Do Not Apply' Ariel Levy
I started reading this on the plane on the way home from holiday and really got into it, but then was a bit slow to finish it when I got home. I enjoyed her story & writing style but just felt like she jumped from different aspects of her life for me. Still worth a read but not my favourite.
' The Keeper of Lost Things' Ruth Hogan
I really enjoyed this book, the relationships & friendships that develop are lovely and it's a heartwarming story. I did find the whole twist to it a bit strange though.
' Mum Face Grace: The memoir of a woman who Gained a baby and lost her Sh*t' Grace Timothy. I loved this book it was the perfect mix of funny & serious. It was like having a chat with a mum friend you can be perfectly honest with, all the things new mums are scared to admit.
Kevin & Sadie series Joan Lingard this series consists of 5 books The Twelfth Day of July, Across the Baricades, Into Exhile, A proper Place, Hostages to Fortune. I loved these books and read them all over a few days. We were in Belfast when I started reading them and wanted to learn more about The troubles. These books are all about Sadie a Protestant & Kevin a catholic and the difficulties they face trying to have a relationship in the North of Ireland.
'Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine' Gail Honeyman
This is a beautiful book & one that will stay with you for a long time. It really brings home to you the importance of kindness & compassion, Eleanor is a character I think we can all relate to in some ways.
'The Trap' Kimberley Chambers
This was a really easy but gripping read, based on 2 brothers in the East of London in the 60's & 70's who run a gang. I'll probably read the rest in the series.
Our April
I've recently seen a few people do the month in review Blog Posts and I love the idea. It's so nice to have a record & see all the things you have got up to. All the little days out get forgotten so it's lovely to look back on.
We started the month with Easter Sunday, we had dinner at my Mum & Dad's and a park trip to burn off the millions of eggs Finn had ate.
We then had an amazing swimming lesson from Finn, which was a big turning point. He was really nervous and held onto his teacher when he first started but this was the point he slowly began to make progress and gain confidence m.
We had a trip to Bents Garden Centre in Warrington which Finn loved, there's a fab park & a lovely cafe.
I then ended up in hospital for 2 nights with tonsillitis, I think though I was really run down. I'd been working loads & doing a lot of late nights & early starts. Luckily a few days later we went on our Amazing holiday to Costa Teguise in Lanzarote. We stayed at the HD Beach resort which you can read about here.
When we come home we met my Mum & Dad in Chorlton & went for food & a play in the park.
Another day another park visit, followed by Finn's favourite coffee & cake.
We went to Messy Mallie's which is about 20 minutes away from us in Buckley. It was brilliant and Finn loved painting his own money box.
After the Easter holidays we were entitled to more hours at nursery. I was sad in one way as Finn stared doing more days so we lost a day in the week together. It's meant though that I've gone from doing 4/5 late nights a week to 1/2. I've loved the little things like us having tea together as a family & doing bath, story & bed time.
Finn's first go at Crazy Golf, followed by a Wagamama's.
A visit to Little Al's Urban farm in Eastham. We love it here.
Yet more amazing swimming from Finn, he's managing to swim now with just the woggle & not holding on to his teacher.
Finally a zoo trip, we are members of Chester Zoo so we go all the time. This time Finn played in the sand & water for over an hour.
Costa Teguise, Lanzarote- The restaurants we loved
We have recently come back from a week in Costa Teguise and we went to some amazing restaurants. There was such a lot of choice & they were all really reasonably priced. We love Spanish food so we're absolutely spoilt for choice.
We went here after a recommendation from a friend & reading good reviews on both trip advisor & Lonely Planet. It was a bit of a distance from our hotel but definitely worth it. When we first got there I thought it didn't seem very child friendly but I was wrong, the staff were brilliant with Finn. I went for the prawn, spinach & ricotta ravioli to start followed by hake & mussels in a butter & lemon sauce. Both were amazing! I love mussels & I'd say these were the freshest & tastiest I've ever had. I had a creme brûlée for dessert which was lovely as well. Stu had the porks cheek & really enjoyed it. This was the most expensive meal we had at around €80 but was so worth it.
I found La Tabla on trip advisor & it was highly rated for Tapas. Again we weren't disappointed. It's on a little courtyard tucked away but it was lovely & peaceful. The tapas was brilliant value at €21 for 7 dishes and we enjoyed them all. It was so busy with people being turned away on a Tuesday evening so definitely book (the number is on trip advisor and you can send them a WhatsApp).
Another tapas restaurant we found on trip advisor, although they did a wide range of meals here which all looked really good. This was again excellent value with each Tapa priced at €3. This is some of the best tapas we've ever ate and we are big Tapas fans.
We fancied Paella one night and La Pardela came highly recommend on trip advisor. We opted for the seafood & it was amazing, packed with fish & seafood. The staff were brilliant with Finn and really made you feel welcome. We had starters as well but really didn't need them as the paella was massive. It's in a lovely location as well over looking the sea.
We never ate here but I've got to mention the Beach Bar, we loved it. Perfect surroundings, amazing cocktails & chill out music. We loved going at nap time and some evenings with Finn as he loved playing in the sand.
Disneyland Paris, the best rides, attractions & shows for a 3 year old
Finn was about 27 months the first time we went to Disneyland and turned 3 the second time we were there. These are the main rides, attractions & shows he loved & were the most suitable for his age.
Alice's Curious Labyrinth- We all loved this where you work your way around Alice's labyrinth to get to the Queen of heart castle. The view from the top around the park are amazing.
Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast- Finn's a big toy story fan so this was one of his favourites. The queues can get quite big so we went in this using a fast pass and during extra magic hours.
Cars quatre rallye- Finn loved the cars theming of this one, I get quite travel sick so sat this one out. Queues were normally about 10/15 minutes.
Casey Jr. – this is a lovely little train ride, It was really quiet whenever we went on this.
Disneyland Railroad- We loved this, we went all the way round the park on it and you get some really good views. You can also use it to get to the different areas of the park. It always seemed to be really busy even in quiet times but we went on first thing one morning and the queues weren't as big.
Dumbo- Finn loved flying round on the elephant, the queues never seemed to be really big for this.
It's a small world- My favourite, even though you end up stuck with the tune in your head for days. The queues were never massive but if you stand near here to watch the parade you get a good view for that & can then walk pretty much on it's a small world.
Le Carrousel de Lancelot- a traditional merry-go- round, Finn really enjoyed this and there was rarely a big queue.
Flying carpets over Agrabah- this was in the Studio's you fly on a magic carpet on an Aladdin themed rides. It can get busy.
Mad Hatter's tea cups- this was another of Finn's favourites, the cup of tea ride he called it. This was another quiet ride.
Orbitron- Here you can ride in a rocket, the queues for this one always seem longer than they say so be prepared to wait but Finn loved it.
Peter Pan's flight – this is a lovely ride but can get really busy. We got fast passes for this which I'd definitely recommend doing.
Pirates of the Caribbean – I was really nervous about this one as I though Finn would be scared but apart from a few drops it was quite gentle & we all loved it. We were quite lucky to just walk on this a few times.
Ratatouille- this was another favourite of ours, it gets busy but you can get fast pass. There is WiFi in the studios so we used the Disneyland app to check wait times and managed to just walk onto this one day.
Slinky Dog- Finn loved this being a toy story fan and we managed to just walk on it quite a few times. I suffer with motion sickness and this did make me feel a bit sick.
Thunder Mesa riverboat Landing- I loved this boat ride & definitely recommend you go on this. It's a lovely little ride round which you don't expect & has loads of little things to look at.
Toy soldiers parachute drop- I thought this would be really scary but we all loved it, you also get a fab but quick view of the castle! It can get busy.
Moteurs Action Stunt Show- This was a massive hit, Finn's face when lightening came out was one of the highlights of our trip.
Mickey and the Magician- This is a lovely show and definitely worth going to if it's on, true Disney magic.
Mickey presents Happy Anniversary Disneyland Paris- a fab show located on the stage near the castle. Finn loved all the Characters and them all waving.
Disneyland Paris, My top 10 tips
The first time we went I read loads on Facebook groups and got advice of people who had already been. It can feel really overwhelming before you go as you want to cram everything possible in. Here's a list of my top ten tips, there's probably loads I've not covered but it's just a few things we found useful.
Parade – the best place we found to stand for the parade Is outside the Pizzeria Bella Notte in Fantasyland or near start of the parade near it's a small world. That way once it's finished you can get on a few of the rides in Fantasyland with no queues. I think it's absolutely worth getting there just one day 30/45 minutes early to get to the front as you get brilliant interaction.
Illuminations – Again I'd say just one day get there 30 minutes or so early for the fireworks just to get the best view. We sat on a bench just behind the statue of Goofy & Pluto and had an amazing view. We were there about 45 minutes early but Stu just took Finn off to a ride & for popcorn so he didn't get too fed up. Another good spot was by the rope near the castle stage.
Snack packs/ drinks – we took quite a few snacks with us & little things for Finn to have in the queues. We also took water bottles to fill up as drinks can be quite dear. We took little sachets of coffee to have in the room as well as there's none provided. Things we took for snack packs were crisp,cereal bars, raisins, little sweets, mini cookies, individually wrapped brioche etc.
Layers/ waterproofs – This obviously depends what time of year you go but we went in April & January and have had really changeable weather. At one point in January it was warm enough for just a jumper. Definitely take plenty of layers as it can get hot in queues if you're all wrapped up and take waterproofs. The ponchos they sell are really expensive, we took Finn's puddle suit.
Rough plan/ list – some people say go without a plan but I found it useful to make a note of what shows I wanted to see and the times. Also what rides we wanted to do in each of the different lands or areas of the studios so we wasn't doing too much walking about between rides or meet & greets.
The picture – I'd seen loads of people getting a picture of the castle & an empty Main Street after the illuminations and was desperate to get one. We hung around after the illuminations had finished for about half an hour and just went in the shops. We were then able to get the picture.
App- the Disneyland app was brilliant, we were able to check the queue times and a few times just walked on the main rides.
Take fancy dress from home – we took all Finn's costumes from home as they were so much cheaper than buying them in the parks. You also get brilliant character intervention when they are dressed up and all the cast members make a fuss. It's also fab for pictures.
Personalised autograph book & pen- I ordered Finn a personalised autograph book from eBay and it's lovely to keep for the memories. Take your own pen as well as these were expensive on the parks, a sharpie is easier for the characters to hold.
Spare battery for camera & a portable charger for phone – I took millions of pictures so made sure I had a spare battery for my camera & a portable phone charger was really handy as we spent really long days in the park.
Cadbury's Easter Egg Hunt at Erddig Wrexham
We recently joined the National trust hoping to have lots of family days out. We are quite lucky that we are within an hour of some amazing National trust properties. We are also planning some U.K. breaks this year so it will be handy to take our cards with us incase there is any properties close by.
I joined by Direct Debit so pay £10 a month for a family membership, I like this option to spread the cost & knowing we can always have a free/cheap day out.
Over the Easter Weekend we decided to do the Cadbury's Egg Hunt at Erddig in Wrexham. This is the first time we have visited and we loved it. We were with friends so had a few children in the group so just stayed in the ground. The gardens are beautiful with loads of trees, flowers & a lake. The kids loved running around and it was all really safe for them.
Our favourite bit was there 2.5 Hectare natural play area the Wolf's Den. It was brilliant and I reckon we spent a good hour in there, we could have been there longer as well if we didn't want to finish the egg hunt. There's den building, loads of stepping stones, a wooden play shop, a rope swing & plenty more. They run activities in here throughout the year like tree climbing & den building so we will definitely be back to try some of these.
We didn't get a chance to try any of the cafe facilities (except for a coffee, which was a good strong coffee) but we will definitely be trying these next time we are back as they looked really good.
We all really enjoyed the Easter egg hunt, we were given a map and had to follow the trail looking for signs of Spring. At the end they kids were all given a full size Cadbury's egg.
We really enjoyed our visit to Erddig and will definitely be back soon to make the most of our membership.
Disneyland Paris, Our favourite restaurants
One thing I really worried about before we went to Disneyland Paris the first time was the price of food. I'd heard people say they had spent £1000+ in a few days and this just wasn't in the budget for us. There was no dining plan offer when we went and it was expensive to add one so we decided to just go with it and hope for the best. Both times we've been we've spent around £400 (excluding a few pre booked meals) including drinks etc.. It's obviously not the cheapest place but you can do it without spending the huge amounts people say. We could have done it on even more of a budget if we tried as well. Here's the places we ate at and enjoyed.
Breakfast – the first time we stayed we had breakfast included at Santa Fe, I personally wouldn't go for this unless you get it included as I found it quite crowded & chaotic. We made do with a coffee in the room and then just grabbed something in the park when we were up the second time we went.
Annette's- We really enjoyed Annette's, it's themed around an old school American diner with the staff on roller-skates. This is definitely the place We queued the longest and it was always busy after the fireworks so be prepared to queue for a while. The portions are massive, we shared 2 of the Jukebox menu's between the 3 of us and there was more than enough food. This is €29 and included a starter, main and brownie for pudding. Finn loved the brownie.
McDonald's breakfast – the second time we visited we didn't have Breakfast included and Finn choose McDonald's for his birthday breakfast as they did pancakes. I know it's not the healthiest but we were really surprised how good value it was. It cost us €16 and for that me and Stu had meal each with a bacon & egg muffin, pancakes, coffee and juice and Finn had pancakes, hot chocolate & juice and it definitely kept us going for a while.
Rainforest cafe – We all loved the theming of the Rainforest Cafe. Finn especially loved the fish & monkeys. It is a little on the expensive side, they do have some set menus though which are a bit cheaper. We all really enjoyed our food though and would say it's worth the expense once on your visit. Our bill came to around €80 for a children's meal with drink & dessert, a beer, a cocktail, a shared starter and 2 mains.
Vapianos- We love Vapiano's and find it really fresh & tasty and good value. The portions are quite big so Finn shared with us we had a pasta & pizza dish and with 3 drinks it came to about €35. The ordering system can be a little chaotic as you have to go up separately for pizza & pasta and then get buzzed when your food is ready but it's well worth it.
Five Guys – this is another restaurant located in Disney village. We shared again between the 3 of us and 2 burgers, a large chips and 2 drinks was €40, a bit on the expensive side for a burger but they are really fresh & big portions.
Inventions, Disneyland Hotel – This is by far my favourite Dining experience we have done at Disney. We went for lunch for Finn's birthday and Mickey, Minnie and the staff brought out a cake and sang to his (I Pre booked this for about €25) it was such a special moment. Inventions is expensive at €65 for an adult and €35 for a child but we added it at the time of booking so we could spread the cost. The character interaction was brilliant and they came round a few times. We got plenty of photos and Finn's booked signed. The food was lovely as well there was Beef, king prawns, loads of salad, cheese, desserts etc.. definitely the one to do if you do one character meal.
Caseys's Corner- This is on Main St with an area to eat inside or an outdoor eating area. The hot dogs are really nice traditional American ones & it came to around £35 for 2 hot dogs, 2 chips, nuggets & 2 drinks.
Glowtini- I loved the Glowtini cocktails which are quite fruity & come with a light up ice cube. We stayed in Santa Fe and apparently this is the cheapest place to have one.
Fuento del Orto- we ate here on the last day by chance as we were in Frontierland and had time before we had to head back for our taxi. I'm really glad we did as it was really nice Mexican food. It came to €32 and we had Nachos and 2 set meals including drinks & a side or yogurt. This was plenty for the 3 of us.
Toad Hall- this is a fish & chip restaurant in Fantasyland. We all really enjoyed it and got the Double to share with a few extra sides.
Cable car bake shop- this is on Main Street and Finn loved the Nutella muffins. They do all sorts of Disney themed cakes & snacks.
Plaza Gardens- on our first visit we had the character breakfast here. I really enjoyed it but after doing the lunch at inventions I'd say that's definitely the better of the two. You still get the characters coming to your table but it just felt a little rushed compared to inventions and they only seem to come round once. The breakfast was really good though with an amazing selection. I'd still do the breakfast again if we got a deal but would definitely pick the lunch if we could.
Buffalo Bills- On our first visit we did Buffalo Bills Wild West show and loved it, Finn was just over 2 and he really enjoyed it but it is really noisy. The show was brilliant with character appearances and we all really enjoyed the food. You get drinks re fills as well. It's definitely a fun experience and is really interactive.
Earl of Sandwich- We love Earl of Sandwich and normally end up eating here a few times. They do really nice sandwiches with loads of options and it's always really quick & reasonable prices. They do a meal deal for about €12 or you can just get the sandwiches on there own.
We recently visited Belfast for 2 nights & fell in love with the city, everyone we spoke to was so positive and inspiring about the troubles. It was amazing to see the City's regeneration. Here's a few of the places we visited & my tips for exploring Belfast.
Airport Bus
We got the 300a from Belfast International airport into the City Centre. It was then about a 5 minute walk to our hotel. This was the most cost effective way I found of getting into the city centre at £10.50 each return. It took around 30 minutes.
We stayed at the Bullitt, which I found on Lonely Planet as one of their top picks. I fell in love with this hotel straight away with its cool & quirky decor and super friendly staff. From the minute we checked in the staff were so friendly and gave us the best tips for the area and offered to book trips for us.
We stayed in a Dinky room, which was Dinky but perfect as we were hardly in the room. The bed was so comfy & there was a big rainfall shower and a mini fridge so everything you need for a few nights away. Bullitt provide you with a bag to hang on your door each evening with your preferred time for your breakfast in the morning, they then filled it with granola & yogurt, fresh orange & a piece of fruit.
We also had a bigger breakfast one morning in the Bullitt lobby , I had Eggs Benedict & Stu had the Meaty One Brioche. Both were really tasty & the price was reasonable.
Bullitt has its own roof top bar Babel, where we had drinks one evening. The views were amazing but as it was freezing the outside area was shut. It would be even better in the summer.
As soon as we arrived we headed to St George's market for lunch. There was an amazing choice of food stalls and we decided on paella & patatas bravas which were both lovely. It was the day after St Patrick's day and the atmosphere was brilliant with a trad band playing. Definitely visit if you are there over the weekend.
Without a doubt the tour we did with 'Taxi Tour Belfast' was the highlight of the trip for both of us. We were picked up by Joe from our hotel in his Mercedes mini bus and spent a fascinating few hours going round the political murals of Belfast. Joe was so intelligent and gave us a first hand insight into the troubles and told us what it was like for him growing up in Belfast at the height of the troubles. We visited the international peace wall, falls road & Shankill Road areas. He was so knowledgeable and answered all of our questions, I think we both went with our own pre conceived idea of what happened but left with a totally different insight. We both said it was honestly one of the most interesting things we have ever done and I think if you're heading to Belfast you should definitely put this on your list.
We visited the Crumlin Road Gaol using a discount voucher we got with Booking.com and really enjoyed our visit. It was really interesting to get an insight into how the prison used to be run & life as an inmate. Our guide was really informative and answered all of our questions.
On our last day we decided to do the hop on hop off bus as there was still quite a few places we wanted to see. We had another voucher through booking.com so we got it at a discount. We got off at the titanic museum, Stormont (which is well worth a look round for the beautiful views) & the crown liquor saloon. It was nice to get an overall view of the city & the guides were all really friendly and knowledgeable about the city.
As we got off the bus the tour guide suggested we go to the Victoria Square Dome for views around Belfast. It was free and you go up to the top floor for 360 degree views around Belfast. There was signs pointing out all the landmarks.
I found Mourne as it was highly rated on trip advisor and we wasn't disappointed. We both had mussels and were really impressed they were so tasty & fresh. We also had sides of champ & truffle fries and really enjoyed the meal.
On our second night we visited the Chubby Cherub, we are off the Date night menu which was 2 courses and 2 glasses of wine for £29.95. We had the bruschetta & crostini to start and Meatball Linguini & herb gnocchi for main. We loved the food & the quirky cosy style of the restaurant.
We visited a few bars both on friends recommendation and ones I found on Lonely planet. Here's a few we loved.
Crown Liquor Saloon – this pub is a national trust property and dates back to 1885. It was really interesting to see all the old style features & we had a nice lunch in there.
The Dirty Onion- in the cathedral quarter with live music most nights.
Cathedral Quarter – this was right near our hotel and there was loads of really cool bars, definitely start your night out in this area.
Duke of York- this the coolest little pub & the Murals surrounding it are well worth a look at.
Muriel's cafe bar – Muriel's was a few doors down from our hotel & had the best gin menu! The atmosphere was brilliant on the Sunday.
John Hewitt- a traditional pub & owned by the man who made Jawbox gin, so definitely worth a try while you're in there.
Love & Death inc- this had good happy hour & good cocktails.
The Spaniard- a really cool rum bar, it was packed even on a Monday night.

This hand-painted wooden magnet is based on the regional dress style known as "Tehuana," a city at the center of Zapotec culture in the southeast of Oaxaca.
Frida Kahlo was a huge admirer of the Tehuana style. The Zapotec culture had a strong matriarchal influence, which is probably why Frida Kahlo felt solidarity with them and adopted their dress as can be seen in many of her paintings and photos.
So much history in this little magnet!
Dimensions: 1.75" x 3.875"
The inspiration behind Mercado El Catrin came from the Chicano & Latino pop culture. In this mercado you will find various items portraying familiar figures such as Pan Dulce, actors, comedians, and historical figures. What was a simple idea became so much more to us, it became a passion and we have a lot planned for this mercado so be sure to follow us on social media and come along for the ride.

Jade Thirlwall confirms Little Mix have finished recording the first track on their fifth album as they smash chart records
Little Mix sent fans into a frenzy when they announced their fifth album would be released later this year
JADE Thirlwall has confirmed that Little Mix are back in the studio and have recorded the first track for their fifth album.
The singer shared a snap of her in an audio booth and wrote: "first recorded song of #LM5 ✔".
Perrie Edwards, 24, Jade, 25, Jesy Nelson, 26, and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, also 26, sent fans into a tizzy when they announced their new album will be released later this year.
The girl group confirmed the news on Twitter saying: "It's official...
"#LM5 is actually in the works... We're going to be patiently waiting for this one, it's going to be an absolute dream!"
Leigh-Anne previously said in an interview: "We have the new album coming out this year which is really exciting."
Meanwhile, the girls will no doubt be delighted to hear they've broken a 20-year long record held by the Spice Girls in the UK charts.
The band have earned two new UK chart certifications with their album Black Magic going Double Platinum in the UK after selling 1.2million copies and No More Sad Songs becoming their ninth platinum single.
Little Mix now have nine Platinum certifications meaning they have the most of any girl group ever in the UK as the Spice Girls earned just eight.
The girls also won three awards at the Global Awards recently, where Jade gave an empowering speech about sexism.
She said: "As a girl band and as women we do face a lot of scrutiny all the time.
"Whether it's for the way we look, how much thigh we get out, how we dance, what we sing about and we just want to say that although one day we hope that does stop.
"Right now we're really not a**ed what people think! We are women, we'll dress how we want to dress, if we want to do a twerk, we'll do a twerk!"

Xbox Owners Can Now Gift and Receive Games, Here's How
The game-gifting feature that's been previewed for the Xbox One is now live just in time for the holidays, and sending games to your friends couldn't be easier.
Microsoft isn't the first company by any means to implement the gifting system to their consoles, but now's as good a time as any with games getting ready to fly off the digital shelves come Black Friday and Christmas. The feature has been slowly rolling out to different Xbox users in the past with Xbox Insiders having access to the function for a while, but everyone can now enjoy the spirit of gifting games to those in their
Xbox's Mike Ybarra recently reminded followers on Twitter that the feature is now live, and with the easy steps that it takes to gift games, you'll be sending presents in no time.
ICYMI: Gifting is now available to everyone in time for the holidays. Go ahead and send those digital ?! #Xbox— Mike Ybarra (@XboxQwik) November 14, 2017
To start gifting games on the Xbox One, you'll first figure out which game you'd like to send whether that's a game that someone actually wants or one that you've been pushing friends to get so they'll play with you. After that, simply navigate to the game's page on the Microsoft Store that's built into the Xbox. Where you could normally see details about the game and download it for yourself, you'll now see an option allowing you to buy it as a gift.
After selecting that button, you'll be able to either select someone from your
What's even better than just being able to gift full games is the option that's available to gift DLC as well. Some restrictions do exist though such as gifting preordered titles and the number of discounted games that you can send. But even with these minor restrictions, the new feature will make for an easy game-swapping experience for the holidays.

EDF Energy shines through at Pride
Over the last two months EDF Energy, joint with Breast Cancer Now have been showing support for our LGBT communities by taking part in four regional Pride events.
Every Summer Pride events take place the length and breadth of the country to celebrate diversity and to continue the journey for full equality for the LGBT community. These events are vibrant, family-orientated and wonderfully emotional celebrations across the diverse spectrum of the LGBT community.
Jane Francis, LGBT Supporters Network Chairperson said "Being a part of the Pride parades around the country is about us, as a key employer in the regions, declaring very publicly our inclusion priorities. It's about EDF Energy being a Force for Good, being a role model employer, coming out and visibly supporting our LGBTQI employees, contractors, families, friends and customers. It's a really powerful message that reaches way beyond the day job.
I am always moved by the parades, as it is such an uplifting experience seeing so many people turn out to support this wonderful community and I'm so proud to be a part of it. I'd love for everyone to come along to an event next year. Whether you are straight or identify as LGBTQI, this is a great way to show your support for your friends and colleagues, some of whom may still be trying to come out at work or home. Be yourself and be proud."
Around 80 EDF Energy employees, along with their friends, families and Breast Cancer Now supporters took to the streets of Bristol, Newcastle, Brighton and Glasgow, walking the 2 mile route as part of the parade.
We kick started with Bristol Pride, led by LGBT Supporters Network Deputy Chair person Rhys Kearney "this year's Bristol Pride was as busy affair as ever with smiles, dancing and sticker giving! - in fact there were more people in the parade than there were watching it! With EDF Energy's presence in Bristol as part of the HPC project, this was a great day for people of Bristol to see that EDF Energy is committed to diversity and inclusion within the local community."
At every location it was an incredible sight to see a cluster of orange t-shirts, endorsed by Zingy walking and dancing the entire way.
"Brighton Pride was fantastic this year, whilst we were a small group we were a very enthusiastic one!
It was great to see such passion and engagement from those that took part in the parade championing EDF Energy's inclusion agenda. Thank you for a fabulous day!" – Sarah Lockley, Diversity & Inclusion Specialist, Hove.
"I had such a good time at Pride, it was my first Pride and I will be back every year now! I absolutely loved the unity and happiness that helped carry the whole parade. I was proud to be there with you guys." – Charlotte Carlin, Customer Services Advisor, Doxford.
Everyone who took part has helped to spread our message that EDF Energy is an LGBT inclusive company, both for our employees and our customers.
Robert Gilhooly, Financial Shared Services Director took part in Glasgow Pride and had this to say – "We had another great day, again, in spite of the weather and even made the main picture on the BBC News article!
This was the second year we have supported Pride in Glasgow and my second year of attending. I guess I was paying more attention to the people watching the parade and was struck by the number of young people there on their own.
Hopefully if they were feeling lonely rather than just being in town on their own, the parade helped them feel a part of something."

My Gear List
Let's talk about gear. It's something I am asked about ALL the time. I'm asked about it by people in the photo industry, people hoping to be in the photo industry, and even people outside the industry. Everyone sees an image, or a time-lapse, and wants to know what magic gear I shot it on. I personally think that you should shoot with the gear you have, and that it only matters to the extent that you need to own a camera to take photos. However, I will say when I get a new piece of gear I am psyched to see what it can do that my old gear couldn't. That's about the only time I geek out on techy stuff. But I do love the things my techy stuff allows me to do. So with that said, here is my gear list! This is pretty much everything in my kit: GEAR LIST.

Last month South Dakota Tourism sent my mom and I on a mission to explore South Dakota. We found ourselves hundreds of feet in the air on a hot air balloon ride, spotting all kinds of wildlife on the trails, and getting rained on in one of the most out-of-this-world landscapes I have ever seen. Check out this list of our top 5 favorite activities in South Dakota.
Take a Hot Air Balloon Ride at Sunrise
Getting to experience silently floating through the sky as the sun illuminated the frost on the ground below is one of the best memories of my life. South Dakota Tourism asked if I wanted to go on a hot air balloon ride with Black Hills Balloons, and I immediately responded, yes.
My mom was coming along, and it was a dream coming full circle. You see, about 10 years ago my mom and I drove 3 hours to a tiny town in Kansas for a hot air balloon festival we discovered was through the local newspaper. We arrived too late to see the balloons, but we still had a great time enjoying the town and talking to balloonists. Ever since then we've wanted to ride in a hot air balloon together.
So a decade later when the opportunity landed in our laps, I was thrilled. We had a gorgeous view of Custer, South Dakota and even spotted some elk running through the forest below. The experience was perfect and I especially loved the ballooning story our guide told at the end, along with a mimosa toast.
Hike Black Elk Peak
This beautiful hunk of granite, located in the Black Hills National Forest, is the tallest peak in South Dakota (7,242 ft.) and the highest peak in the U.S. east of the Rocky Mountains.
We started the hike at Sylvan Lake in Custer State Park and hiked 3.8 miles to the summit. The trail has stunning views the entire time and we were fortune enough to experience sunset during our hike.
There was wildlife, snow, and gorgeous fall colors during our outing this time, but my mom and I had previously hiked the peak 15 years earlier in the summer with the rest of my family. Afterward we spent the rest of the day swimming in Sylvan Lake.
Whatever time of year you make the trek, it's worth it to see gorgeous views of the area in every direction.
Photograph the Badlands
When you enter Badlands National Park it is really like entering another planet. The park is out in the middle of nowhere and as you drive in the landscape changes to something that more closely resembles the moon than anything else on Earth.
Hiking through the unique desert landscape is a special experience and my mom and I found ourselves ooohhhing and ahhhhing with every turn of a corner. We woke up for a sunrise hike and when the rain cleared the lighting was truly special. I can't wait to go back in search of clear night skies in order to photograph this stars in this ethereal place.
Explore the waterfalls of Spearfish Canyon
My mom and I only had the afternoon to enjoy a couple hikes in Spearfish Canyon, and luckily there were some close by. First we enjoyed a beautiful nature trail that took us to Roughlock Falls, just a mile away from the lodge we were staying at. The waterfall flowed over terrain that was surrounded by beautiful fall colors.
Next, when we arrived back a the lodge we walked across the street to Little Spearfish Falls Nature Trail. You can see the top of the falls from the beginning of the hike, but it's worth it to walk the ¾ mile to see this 47 ft. waterfall in all its glory. The path was easy and a perfect way to cap off our trip.
Drive the Wildlife Loop in Custer State Park
What didn't we see along this amazing loop? The drive started off with us enjoying the scenery and the fall colors. Soon we ran into a bison traffic jam as the animals were crossing the road to head to a nearby watering hole.
Once we made it past them we continued up the hill and we were able to see them arriving at the watering hole from afar. After that we saw mountain goats, pronghorn, elk, prairie dogs, and plenty of deer. Make sure you have one person spotting the wildlife and one paying attention to the road!

Content marketing can reduce your cost per lead – here's how!
How's this for getting your attention: Content marketing could reduce your cost per lead (CPL) by as much as 63 per cent!
That stat comes from Brafton, a content marketing agency in the US. We'll explore this figure in a bit more detail shortly, but for now we mention it to titillate and entice you. If your CPL is the International Space Station and you'd rather it was a submarine, this 63 per cent proves that content could be the marketing strategy you've always needed.
Today we're going to examine this issue on a few fronts. First, we'll cover how to accurately calculate your CPL. Then we're going to explain, in brief, how content marketing could save the day. Finally, we'll move into the how – we've got a heap of go-to tips for reducing cost per lead with content, so bookmark this article and let's get started!
Part 1: How to determine your cost per lead
To determine your cost per lead, first figure out your total advertising dollars spent, then divide that number by the number of leads received. The result is your CPL. So for example, if we spend $3,000 per month on marketing and receive 50 leads, our CPL is $60.
What is a good CPL?
Sorry, but we can't answer that! It's different for every business.
Having a triple-figure CPL might seem gratuitous, but if those same leads are worth an extraordinary amount of money, it makes sense to spend more to capture them. Conversely, if your leads are worth less and you require more to keep your business afloat, that triple-figure CPL is going to stretch your budget to the seams, and then some.
Ultimately, if instinct is telling you that you're spending too much, it's worth looking at reducing the cost. You know your business better than anyone, after all.
Part 2: How can content marketing reduce my cost per lead?
Content marketing is heralded as one of the most cost-effective marketing strategies around. Take a look here:
- Must-read stat! Content marketing costs 31 per cent less than paid search, and over the long-term can produce three times more leads, according to a Kapost study.
What puts some people off content is the fact that it takes time to build up. Pay-per-click (PPC) results happen near-instantly, manufacturing instant gratification and creating a good graph to show the higher-ups. But when you focus solely on PPC advertising, you're always going to be paying the same amount for the same (if not less, depending on competition fluctuations) leads. Over the long-term, it's inefficient – not least because the moment you switch it off, it stops generating leads.
Content, on the other hand, is like a snowball at the top of a mountain. Sure, it starts off small, but by the time it reaches the village at the bottom, it's a monster that needs little further incentive to keep rolling. Or in other words, content marketing becomes exponentially easier over time, as you build up your SEO strength and establish an audience.
So what about that 63 per cent you mentioned?
The proof is in the pudding, and we love pudding.
Brafton, after taking on an account that had a high CPL (US$125), put together an inbound leads strategy that balanced long-term content with targeted short-run PPC campaigns.
The team decreased their client's CPL by 63 per cent and increased non-paid leads by a third.
Now you can work on doing the same for your business here in Australasia.
Proof that good #contentmarketing is all about balance! Take a look at how we reduced a client's cost-per-lead by 63%: https://t.co/ZhZaHn3Luc pic.twitter.com/VggbCGiCpW— Brafton (@Brafton) November 15, 2017
Part 3: How to use content marketing to reduce cost per lead
1. Establish your content strategy
All good marketing strategy should start with goals, objectives and metrics. Without these, you're a boat with no chart or compass.
- Goals: These are tangible actions you want users to take on your website. Think 'buy now' or 'download this'. For generating leads, you need goals that capture user information.
- Objectives: An objective is the broader aim your strategy should accomplish. Today, we want 'reduce CPL' overall, but you may also want to 'increase leads', 'reduce reliance on PPC' or similar.
- Metrics: These are how you determine success. So, how will our goals and objectives be measured? Well, the CPL figure is itself a good metric. We also want to monitor total incoming leads, and could also look at site traffic, email open rates and so forth. Anything related to leads and success.
What comes after goals? Target audience
A clearly defined audience is a vital component of a content strategy, so at this stage you must also put together a range of detailed audience descriptions, known as user personas. These are guides that define your ideal audience members in terms like demographic, job title, pain points, social media habits, or anything else deemed relevant.
Learn how to create your own by checking out our User Personas guide. Additionally, to find out more about expanding your audience size once you know who to target, check out the link in the tweet below.
Content syndication is a great way for a business to expand its audience and generate leads. However, it's vital to follow content syndication best practices. https://t.co/ZZ51wr8JuJ pic.twitter.com/OCVqPVi4H4— Castleford (@castlefordmedia) September 24, 2018
2. Optimise for mobile
If your website is poorly optimised for mobile, it's going to sting you later.
Forty-six per cent of people use both desktop and mobile devices to access websites, and 30 per cent use exclusively mobile (says a comScore study). Google knows this, and is increasingly prioritising mobile-friendly websites in its search rankings, to the point of even indexing mobile pages before it indexes desktop sites.
How does this relate to leads?
SEO is essential for content marketing, as the two are part of the same sandwich. A lack of mobile optimisation is a barrier to success you can't ignore.
3. Optimise your landing pages
Conversion landing pages should sell a user on your content within the first few seconds.
Where do people leave their details when they want something from your business? Conversion landing pages.
So what do you need to pay close attention to and fully optimise in order to achieve success? Oh yeah. Conversion landing pages.
What makes a great conversion landing page?
- Enticing copy: Good landing page copy does two things. First, it tells the user what the page is about in the first few lines – that's best practice UX. Second, it entices a user with compelling information. For example, if your CLP is for a whitepaper, you'd reveal enough info for a user to feel like the document is a must-download, but not enough that they get the answer without downloading it.
- Bold call to action: Further to copy, there should be a bold call to action. This should fit with your goals strategised above, and clearly state what action you wish the user to perform. Think "Download our whitepaper on XYZ" rather than "Click here".
- Smart design: Smart landing page design frees the page of clutter and shows, clearly, the copy that entices the eye and the call to action where users must click. Think arrows, contrasting colours, clear fonts – that sort of thing.
- Not too many questions: In the lead form itself, don't ask too many questions. You can enquire for further details as you nurture the lead. For now, just capture the basics and begin the relationship.
4. Create valuable content that is worth a lead
Content, SEO and leads are all intertwined, and good-quality content underpins this strategy.
Excellent content builds authority and your website's SEO strength. It also gives you something to promote and discuss on social media channels like Facebook or LinkedIn. This in turns builds brand awareness and helps your website rank in search.
Over time, people start finding it easier to discover your content (remember the snowball), and because it's valuable, they lap it up. When you capture someone's attention, you have an opportunity to capture a lead. So not only are you building leads over time, you're also building authority, trust, SEO strength and more – something PPC campaigns don't do.
Key takeaway: To summarise – produce regular content that is professionally made and valuable to your target audience. Promote this content and use it to capture leads. Over time, it'll only get easier (and cheaper).

5. Build an email database
Even if you don't need sales leads right now, an email database full of blog subscribers is a great way to capture leads for the long term. After all, if someone has handed you their email in return for a blog subscription, they've shown that they love your content and are willing to hear further from you.
In fact, BtoB Magazine found 59 per cent of B2B marketers say email is their most effective channel for revenue generation.
How to build an email database with content
- Put your most valuable content behind email sign-up gateways.
- Create content that people will actually want to see in their inbox.
- Encourage existing subscribers to share your content.
- Create email-only resources that only subscribers can see (and, obviously, promote that it exists!).
In summary
Creating valuable content that is strategically driven and targeted to specific audience demographics will build your brand awareness, trust, and SEO visibility.
Use value-driven content to boost your search visibility and brand trust, which will in turn help you attract low-cost leads.
It also gives you something worthwhile to promote on social media.
These four things in turn attract readers to subscribe buttons, asset gateways, 'request a demo' pages, or any other type of lead-gathering forms on your website, creating an effective long-term, low-cost loop of finding audience members and gathering their details.
You can then combine this approach with targeted, short-term PPC campaigns to promote specific pieces of content. For example, your most valuable whitepaper (hosted on an optimised conversion landing page).
With this best of both worlds approach, you will see your cost per lead reduce over time.

Anamul Haque, the wicketkeeper-batsman, will lead a 15-member Bangladesh squad in the Under-19 World Cup in Australia. Nurul Hasan will be Anamul's deputy. Anamul toured Zimbabwe recently for the Twenty20 tri-series with the senior side and was not part of the junior team which was knocked out by Afghanistan in the Under-19 Asia Cup.
There are four changes from the Asia Cup squad whose failure prompted the BCB to ask the captain, coach, manager and selectors for an explanation. Bangladesh finished third in Group B, behind Afghanistan, and lost out on a semi-final berth.
Bangladesh have been grouped with South Africa, Sri Lanka and Namibia in Group D. They will face Sri Lanka in their opening match on August 11.

WATCH - Shane Duffy scores a brace of brilliant own goals to take his season tally to three
Shane Duffy is fast becoming the most prolific goalscorer in the Football League.
Days after his own goal resigned Blackburn Rovers to an opening day defeat to Wigan, the Republic of Ireland defender has found the net again. Unfortunately, though, it was his own.
Shane!....Shane!......SHANE! FFS! pic.twitter.com/xjmR9BiN3X— Owen Coyle (@Imowencoyle) August 17, 2016
In an agonisingly bad first half for the Rovers defender, Duffy put Cardiff in front inside 15 minutes with an assured finish from six yards out.
Duffy then doubled his unwanted tally when he headed Peter Whittingham's free-kick past as helpless Jason Steele in the Blackburn goal.
Duffy was later sent off in the game.
Incredibly the own goals take Duffy's own goal tally for the season to three in just two games, leaving him on for a hat-trick of own goals at the Cardiff City stadium.
The 24-year-old was forced to delete his Twitter account earlier this week following Saturday's 3-0 defeat to Wigan after he once again put through his own net.
Duffy was subjected to online abuse for his 63rd minute own goal at the DW Stadium.
According to a number of online accounts, Duffy's embarrassingly prolific performance in front of his own goal comes on the same day he rejected a new Blackburn contract.
Fans of the club are becoming increasingly disgruntled with the club's ownership.
The hashtag #VenkysOut trended on Twitter before Blackburn's fixture with Cardiff and away supporters chanted 'Venkys Out' during Wednesday's game.
Shane Duffy was a part of Martin O'Neill's Republic of Ireland side that reached the last 16 of Euro 2016.

Successful Sales Coaching requires 4 things:
- Identification of the specific area(s) to be coached
- That the performance levels be measurable (both current & desired)
- That the coaching be performed on Real Life situations
- That the coaching be carried out in Real-Time
The Pay-Off: Sales Coaching
- Time: Elimination of scheduling issues & one-on-one deal reviews
- Effectiveness: Real deal data, done in real time, when it's needed
- Geography: Can provide effective coaching to a geographically disperse team.
Asynchronous Sales Coaching
Occulus' unique & industry leading Asynchronous Sales Coaching capability allows the sales manager to provide coaching advice & guidance to a member of the team without the requirement of a one-on-one coaching session. The sales manager upon reviewing the deal analysis can make comments on the deal record about how the sales rep responded to certain questions; whether asking for additional details, requesting clarification or clearer articulation of their sales strategy & Next Steps etc. When the sales manager has completed the deal review, an email is sent to the sales rep, with a copy to the sales manager, indicating the sales manager has commented on one of their deals and that specific actions are required by the sales rep. In addition, deals that the sales manager commented on are flagged with a red star so sales reps can quickly identify which deals they need to focus on first.
The Occulus Detailed Analysis SWOT Chart displays the current performance levels of the sales rep in the 5 areas of a Complex (Enterprise level) Sale, in addition to the Probability of Winning and of the deal closing by the forecasted close date (Timing). Occulus also calculates the impact of missing information on the values for the Performance Levels and the Probabilities and displays this as an uncertainty in the value; providing a range of possible values, from High to Low. (the longer the bar in the SWOT chart, the more information is missing)

Happy New Year, friends! Wow…2019 already!!
I don't usually make New Year themed cards but I do have a different kind of celebration card to share. This one was for a 50th birthday. You can easily switch out the 50, though, with an image or words for any occasion.
I started with a pre-printed card base from a pack of cards at Michael's. It already has the hexagon pattern in gold! I just added a few die cuts… the black hexagon, gold numbers, and the black celebrate (layered onto a white strip). So easy!
Happy New Year!

MO Low-Wage Workers Protest Trump's Pick for Labor Secretary
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Low-wage workers in Kansas City and across the country are staging protests in opposition to President-elect Donald Trump's selection of Andy Puzder for U.S. Secretary of Labor.
The group Fight for $15 organized protests Thursday, saying the CEO of CKE Restaurant Holdings, which includes the fast food chains Hardee's and Carl's Jr., is a symbol of the rigged economy Trump has vowed to fix.
Bridget Hughes, part of Fight for $15 movement in Kansas City, is a fast food worker who makes $9 an hour and says even with both she and her husband working, they can't make ends meet for their four children.
"Not being able to afford utilities, having trouble getting even basic needs, like deodorant and food and you know, things that people do on a daily basis, don't even think about," she states. "We have to really struggle and rub pennies together just to be able to get stuff like that."
The protest in Kansas City was one of two-dozen from coast to coast ahead of Puzder's confirmation hearing next week.
Hughes says housing is a big issue for families like hers, adding that she and her husband recently were denied when they applied for a three-bedroom apartment.
"And even with it being below market value, they denied me due to the fact that my income was $3,000 less per year of the limit that I needed to make in order to get the apartment," she relates.
Fight for $15 says CKE Restaurant Holdings' financial disclosures show Puzder was paid between $4 million and $10 million in recent years, making more in one day than his minimum-wage workers make in one year.
Puzder is an outspoken critic of increasing the minimum wage, which in Missouri is $7.70 an hour.
