Construction Business MasterClass
In these tight economic times it is not just important to continue to develop your business, it is vital. Often owners cut back on what they see as non-core business expenses, often in areas of marketing, staff training, and other areas where dollars spent do not easily show an immediate return on investment.
Do not get caught in the trap of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. There is a solution to needing outside business advice, but not wanting to pay excessive monthly coaching fees.
How? By creating an environment where some of the process is done within a group setting, giving you access to the skills and knowledge of other like minded business owners, whilst still having 1-on-1 interaction with an experienced business advisor.
The Construction Business MasterClass runs for six months and consists of a monthly group meeting with a number of other like-minded business owners PLUS a monthly one-on-one meeting with your business advisor, to apply what you learn in the group sessions. The group sessions are held at a set venue and a fixed date and time each month, and the 1-on-1 meetings will be at your premises, via Skype or a location of your choice.
If you have been considering getting some external professional advice for you business to assist in growth, but have been put off by the high cost of business coaching, then please call to register your interest and gain further information.
Participant Feedback via the Co-Funding Website

One-to-One Business Advice
Owning a business can be a lonely place. The transition from being a good technican of your trade to a good manager and then a good business owner can be a struggle. The skills you need are wide and varied. You can spend years building up those skills through trial and error, or you can fast track your learning by engaging your personal business advisor.
Need someone on your side that can help you develop those skills and the systems specifically for your situation?
Impatient and want to move forward quicker than working in a group format sometimes achieves?
One-to-one engagement may be a better option for you.
The busines advising program can be customised to your needs, from a specific project over a set time frame (developing and implementing a marketing plan, for example) to regular "executive coaching" for you as the manager/owner of your business.
Remote Coaching and Advisory
Although based in Auckland, through the use of technology, and good old fashioned mail service, The Trades Coach service is available nationwide on a virtual basis. Diagnostic workbooks can be completed at your convenience and then a remote, 1-to-1 strategy session arranged via Skype or Zoom *.

Online resources are available to assist you with each module and useful tools and templates can be downloaded for you to customise.
* Broadband required

I've been vegetarian for a long time now, and even before I 'officially' became a vegetarian I rarely ate meat. At this point, I'm actually eating vegan at home and the only place where I still have dairy is at work because they do not offer a vegan lunch (yet). However, one of my goals for 2017 is to become fully vegan and take my own lunch to work so I can avoid animal products there as well. It's something I'm really passionate about, so after getting into a twitter debate with some pro-meat/anti-vegan people, I decided to write up a post on why I'm vegan, and how to make transitioning to a vegan diet a bit easier.
Saving animals
The main reason I became a vegetarian, and am transitioning to becoming a vegan, is to save animal lives. I've always been sensitive to animal suffering, and do not believe we should be killing or mistreating them for our own gain. They cannot speak out for themselves, tell us their hurt, fight back or run away from the people that are abusing them, and I'll gladly give up meat and dairy (and any other animal products) if it means some animals can be saved and situations like these can be avoided in the future.
Taking care of the environment
We (hopefully) all know that climate change and global warming are real and that the meat industry is a big part of the problem. According to several studies, giving up meat is even more beneficial for the environment than giving up your car. We don't need to eat meat to survive, but we do need our planet and a healthy climate. If we can slow down global warming by eating vegan, why wouldn't we? For me personally, the planet is more important than a cheeseburger.
Gradually transitioning to a vegan diet
If you're planning on becoming vegan or vegetarian there's nothing wrong with taking it slowly if you have a hard time adapting. You could, for example, start by cutting out meat and fish during weekdays, or cut out meat but not fish, or cut out dairy first, or have a couple of vegan nights a week. And once you're getting used to it and found meat-replacements you like, take it a step further and cut out the next meat product.
I've never been much of a meat eater. I never liked it as a kid but ate it anyway because my parents and grandparents made me. The older and more independent I got, the less I started to eat it. After a while, I realized I hadn't touched meat in months and was only having fish once a month, so I decided to 'officially' become a vegetarian, ask the cook at work for an extra portion of vegetarian food and consciously never buy meat or fish again.
The transition from vegetarian to vegan has been a bit harder, because it's hard getting vegan options at restaurants, and there are so many things actually contain animal products. Most of the regular store-bought chocolate? Milk. Hot sauce? Fish. Supplements? Gelatine. Cake? Eggs and butter. Pizza? Cheese. The list is endless.
I usually cook myself, which gives me a lot of control over what I put in my body, so having a vegan dinner at home is pretty easy. However, for all the other things, I'm cutting them out and replacing them with vegan alternatives one by one, to make the change not too overwhelming. I haven't had any milk products since summer (consciously, it might have been added to curries at work), stopped eating candy or cakes that are not vegan, and am shopping for vegan cheese and honey at the moment.
Make your own vegan alternatives
Since many of the products you buy at supermarkets contain some form of animal product, it's often more convenient to just make your own version of it. This way you can also eliminate any sugars or other unnecessary products ending up in your food. Even if you don't want to eat vegan, making your own alternative for chocolate, for example, is probably still worth it.
After realizing Sriracha hot sauce does not only fish but also an entire list of unhealthy ingredients, I started making my own hot sauce. I only use chili peppers (habanero), onion, coriander, apple cider vinegar and salt in them. It's vegan, healthy and tastes amazing! I also make my own vegan chocolate bars using this recipe.
Eating vegan/vegetarian does not mean you have to change your diet entirely. I'm still eating pasta recipes, curries, pizza, burgers, soup, cake, ice cream, etc. like most people. I just replace the animal products with vegan-friendly alternatives. I personally love beans as a substitute for meat. It's easy to cook with them, they have a lot of protein, and are super tasty. I've never been a big fan of tofu or fake meat, but it is a great possibility, especially if you like the texture of meat.
Meat and fish: Beans, nuts, falafel, vegetable patties, fake meat, tofu
Milk: Nut milk, coconut milk, rice milk, soy milk
Butter: Coconut oil, olive oil, or cook without butter (most pan-fried dishes work just as well with water)
Honey: Coconut nectar, agave nectar, maple syrup
Cheese: Vegan cheese (made out of nuts, soy, vegetable oil or other vegan products), hummus, tofu, nuts (great in pesto, for example)
Cruelty Free products: 100% Pure (vegan and natural products), Lush (not all of their products are vegan!), The Body Shop, Special Effects hair dye (I use their Cherry Bomb and Nuclear Red to achieve my red hair, but they have many different colors)

What a weekend! Today I'm feeling much better, kinda feel like I should have put a Whine-Warning on that last post, lol!
Sunday Food Prep and the Counter of Chaos :-) I prepped 6 lbs of ground beef, 14 lbs of chicken breast, 5 lbs of broccoli, 2 lbs of cauliflower, 4 lbs of zucchini, 2 lbs of asparagus, 4 cups of brown rice, 6 lbs of sweet potatoes, 1 lb of lemons (sliced for water), 18 eggs... additional produce that doesn't require any prep: 7 lbs gala apples, 3 containers of strawberries, 5 lbs of bananas, lettuce & salad bags, spinach... list goes on :-)
I grilled all the chicken, except the 3 lbs I flattened and sliced for chicken "nuggets" (Eat Clean Diet Cookbook for Family & Kids) (and I prepped the "breading"). Then I made burgers with 2 lbs of the ground beef (mixed with 1 egg, 1 carton of crimini mushrooms finely chopped, and seasoning), browned 4 lbs and mixed with canned tomatoes & chilies for tacos, tostadas, etc. I made sweet potato fries for dinner with the burgers, and prepped another batch and stuck them in the fridge, ready to cook, for after-school snacks for the kids. The chicken is all cut, weighed and portioned; the veggies are all in their steamer bags, the rice is portioned, the oatmeal is mixed with protein powder, ground flax & cinnamon and bagged, the granola (for everyone but me) is made and stored... and once it was all complete, and dinner & laundry done... I crashed. Hard. Didn't move until the alarm went off this morning, lol.
I felt pretty good, though still wobbly as I headed to the gym. My temperature that had stabilized last night, started doing the roller coaster again, and I finished my Leg workout in a cold sweat... but I finished it. I killed it. Damn skippy. Tonight, I have to skip my Total Body Conditioning class (again) because of a Cheer meeting (again!), so after that I'll head straight to the gym for my 30 minutes of steady state cardio. The sinus junk settled into my chest, but isn't too bad, so while I will take my inhaler with me, I don't anticipate my asthma being an issue.
Meals this week for family dinners are...
Sunday - Burgers & Sweet Potato Fries (mine was a lettuce wrap)
Monday - Taco Salad (mine sans-chips & cheese)
Tuesday - Mini Pizzas (sandwich thins) - I'm having grilled salmon & veggies
Wednesday - Leftovers. I'll have a chicken wrap (portable dinner, bowling night)
Thursday - Chicken "nuggets" with salad and steamed broccoli
Friday - Tostadas with baked corn tortillas (salad with beef for me)
Saturday - Leftovers
Monday - Taco Salad (mine sans-chips & cheese)

Saturday - Leftovers
My food (and Ariel's too, for that matter) is pretty much the same as last week. It's all about simplicity right now. I'm using Sriracha (super hot sauce) on my rice & chicken at lunch to, ha ha, spice it up... you can't be bored with your food if your mouth is on fire, lol! Seriously, though, I'm using the capsaicin (what makes hot sauce hot) deliberately to boost my metabolism. I also use mustard and flavored olive oils to add flavor to my foods. Yes, I'm eating a lot of chicken, but with herbs & spice mixes, it's easy to keep it switched up... and there's always Sriracha. :-)

Everything has been on the table, from cutting Saturday deliveries to delivering booze! Now of course, Amazon ties up with USPS for deliveries on Sunday. While no financial details are available, will this save USPS or at least make a little more viable?

The Priest and the Eucharist
by Louis Bouyer
from To be a priest, pp. 103-109,
edited by
Robert E. Terwilliger and Urban T. Holmes, Seabury Press, New York,
Republished on our website with the necessary permissions.
Louis Bouyer, priest of the Oratory, is a theologian of liturgy and spirituality. He has lectured at the Institut Catholique in Paris and has published widely in the field of liturgy and spirituality.
The priest is, above all, the man responsible for the Eucharist. To see this as the most central of his functions is the best way to perceive the various aspects of his role in their proper perspective and organic unity. But this requires that we recover the full and wide vision of the Eucharist, or more precisely of the complete eucharistic celebration.
If it is true that the priest, as the minister par excellence of Christ, is to be a man for others, it is in the full eucharistic celebration that the others are brought together, and reconciled to one another by heing reconciled to God in Christ. Not only is the eucharistic celebration the supreme manifestation of this unique society, the Church of Christ, at once interpersonal and universal; it is also in and through this celebration itself that the Church, as St. Paul says, is edified; that is, is built out of living stones into that total body of Christ which is to become the temple of the Spirit. This building of the eucharistic temple in which we ourselves are introduced as so many living stones, implies the taking up of all our human activities into a higher reality. It involves not only the fulfillment of the ideal human society, the City of God among men, but the ultimate completion of the cosmos itself, so as to make God in Christ, through the Church, all in all things.
If we adopt this perspective, which is that of the New Testament, especially of the Epistle to the Ephesians, we have the most precise, and also the most inspiring and exalted vision of the total humanity and reality of the role of the priest.
Primarilyand I insist on thisbecause the eucharistic celebration is the Church seen in the making, and because the priest is, first of all, minister of it, he is not a man for others in any vague or shallow meaning. He is the man who is to enable his fellow men to become fully themselves by living in the common fulfillment of the society of divine love among men, working together and individually to bring the world at large to its final goal, its own proper consummation.
The priest, in spite of the singularity of his vocation, is not an isolated man. He is to live among all sorts and conditions of men to help them to live together. He is to make them realize that their distinctive activities, their distinctive types of life are consonant and concordant parts of a great enthusiastic purpose within a most intimate but widely open community. They do not simply receive this community ready-made, but build it upedify itby their own unique and irreplaceable contributions into its ultimate perfection in Christ.
In this work the priest is to be the confidant of all, able not only to sympathize equally with all but to bring to allin spite of his own limitations, inadequacies, and even shortcomingswhat they need to find their place in the world and to be fully themselves, by being taken up into the most wonderful exchange, not only among all men, all created beings, but between the whole creation and its Creatorand everyone with his most personal Savior.
How can this be? We shall begin to discover it by considering in depth the first role the priest assumes in the celebration of the Eucharist, the ministry of the word of God to man. This is above all the ministry of the Gospel, the Good News of salvation in Christ.
This ministry of the word, which is now the first part of the eucharistic celebration, is the final blossoming of what had become the liturgy of the synagogue at the time of Christ. This, in turn, is seen by Judaism as making its first appearance and disclosing its full meaning in the ninth and tenth chapters of Nehemiah. There we find the scribe Ezra, after the return of the exiles, in a Jerusalem still desolated, which they are trying to rebuild. He gathers the people on the site of the ruined Temple, and reads to them the whole of the five Books of Moses, the permanent nucleus of their Bible and ours. These had just been definitively compiled by his fellow scribes during the captivity. They had done this to prepare for the new gathering and rebuilding on the basis of a renewed faith in the saving deeds of God in the past, now to prolong itself into the faith in Gods readiness to repair, to restore, and ultimately to fulfill the hope of Israel.
Now they hear together the whole great epic of creation and salvationthe initial fall of man, who is made after Gods image; the election and separation of Abraham; then the similar separation and exodus of the children of Abraham, freed from material and spiritual captivity out of Egypt to be brought through the desert land to the land of promise, the land where they would be at home with God, who has become their God, and they a people after Gods own heart.
That reading, however, since it concluded with the solemn warnings and promises of Moses in Deuteronomy, could not but make them interpret their own exile and return from captivity as a new Exodus. Again the people of God, having been thrown into the crucible of such a trial, at last are to be disengaged, as a true and faithful remnant, from the mass of unbelievers, and gathered into a newly built Jerusalem, there to serve God forever in his perfect service.
This reading was not for them a pious remembrance of the past. They heard it at this precise moment in their personal and individual history. It made clear to them that the God who had spoken to their fathers all through that history was speaking to them in the same way, in a manner still more decisive here and now. Here was the gathering together of a renewed and perfected people of God, having had its faith put to the test, in order to build together with God, not only Jerusalem, but a temple, the temple of the living God now and forever living in men fully alive.
Soon, howeverwe see this in the Book of Haggaithe reconstructed city, the rededicated Temple, far from being the perfect city and the eternal temple expected, were but a shadow of the former city and the glory of its Temple. The faithful remnant had not been purified and refined into the faithful servant of the second Isaiah. Therefore, the conversion of the Gentiles and the renewal of the earth and heavens was still to be expected from a Son of Man who must come down from the rent heavens to this earth of ours so that the coming of the kingdom of heaven itself in its one true king might be fulfilled indeed, now and forever.
And it was to prepare Isaiah for that that on every Sabbath the reading of the law and the prophets, in the synagogue assemblies, had to be pursued until the coming of him who should come; and so that he should come and come quickly. This, at the time of Jesus, was the expectation of the most faithful Jews taking part in the synagogue service, and this was the expectation he was intended to fulfill.
Think, now, no longer of the assembly of liberated exiles on Mount Zion gathered around Ezra the scribe, but of the people; as St. Luke says, expecting the consolation of Israel, gathered in the synagogue at Nazareth around Jesus. He sits down in the chair of Moses, where the rabbis sat to explain and apply the promises and demands addressed to them by God through Moses and the prophets. Jesus has just read the sixty-first chapter of the Book of Isaiah: The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor; he has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.
Jesus returns the book to the minister, the eyes of all in the synagogue are fixed on him. They await his comment. He says: Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing. . ..
Think of that page of the Gospel, read in this perspective, the perspective of the whole development of the Bible, of the word of God, of the history of salvation. Visualize the event which is the liturgy of the word of God in our eucharistic celebration in these terms, and in it see the function of the priest among us.
The priest is, as every Christian should be, a witness to his brethren, Christian or not, of the dynamic reality of the progressive development, of the ultimate actuality of that word of God. The priest has to be, in addition, not only an expert, able by his intellectual formation to explain what the word of God, humanly, historically, and cosmically means, but also a messenger of the one catholic and apostolic Church of all ages and countries, mandated by it to tell his local church gathered here and now, what indeed, in its common experience, the experience of all the saints, that word has actually meant. Above all, a priest, by his ordination, has been identified with the continuation all through the ages of the apostolic community of ministry gathered by Jesus himself, to be sent to man, as he had been sent by the Father. The priest, in the gathering of the believers, is for them the visible sign of the continued presence of Christ to tell them, still with his own authority: Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing. . . .
Even if he is a poor preacher, even if he is a worthless tool, the priest in the eucharistic assembly, speaking to us as one of those who have been sent to us by Christ in the same way as Christ had been sent by the Father, is the permanent attestation that the word of God, coming to say its last word in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, is not only a word of light, but the word of life, the presence, the perfect presence, the permanent presence of God with us in Christ. This present word of life takes hold not only of our minds but of our whole being, to bring us not only to a full consciousness of his design concerning us but to the fulfillment of that design in us, through us, and with us. It is in the nature of the divine word to be action, to be creative. Its supreme creation is to evoke a response in the heart of man, a response not merely of belief, but of obedience and love, to create a totally renewed humanity for the total renewal of the world.
Now comes the natural, the unavoidable transition from the liturgy of the word to the sacramental liturgy, to the eucharistic prayer which constitutes the consecration of the Eucharist.
Here again we have in the great assembly around Ezra on Mount Zion a first sketch of what that prayer was to be. It was a response of man to the word of God to him, evoked from the depths of his heart by the creative power of that selfsame word.
When the whole history of salvation comes at last to its conclusion, the elders of the people led by Ezra break forth into a hymn of exultant praise to God, who first created heaven and earth in all their glory, and made man in his own image to submit creation to the full design of its maker. Then they praise him that once man had forfeited his vocation, God has not abandoned him, but through patriarchs and prophets, trial and deliverance, drawn a faithful people out of an unfaithful race. Then the praise of the Creator and Savior God turns to a supplication which is the natural outcome of that praise. Now that God is near the completion of his promises, may he, as in the past, grant us to be gathered together in his faithful city, the new Jerusalem, to rebuild his final temple, when all creation reconciled around his elect will glorify him forever.
As the gathering of the people returned from exile to hear the word of God was the pattern of the future synagogue services of meditation on the word, so the rehearsal of this prayer, a fully developed berakah (blessing), the eucharistic praise and thanksgiving for the progressive realization of the design of God, was to be forever the continuity of the synagogue prayers. In it the people, having come to maturity, acknowledged all that God had done and was still doing to bring them to achieve in their own history the realization of his own design for them and for the whole world. And the concluding prayer, since it was for that fulfillment which would mean God in every being, was a self-surrender, a collective consecration to whatever that fulfillment might imply for them, so that all Gods creation might live only to his praise and glory.
At the center of these supplications was a prayer, borrowed from the liturgy of the Temple for the consecration of all the sacrifices of Israel so that his people, in them and through them, may be raised to Gods presence and become a perfect offering.
However, toward the end of the Old Testament period, when messianic expectation reached its highest pitch, we seeas at Qumrana select group; as St. Luke puts it, those who were waiting for the consolation of Israel, considered as better than the formal Temple offering, the gathering of a community of faithful believers in the nearness of the fulfillment of the messianic promises, around the table of their community meal, on the eve of a Sabbath or a feast day.
As these gatherings were opened by the fraction and the sharing of all in the one bread, they were concluded by drinking from one cup of wine solemnly blessed by the head of the community. But in that Eucharist of the meal, as it was called, we find again in shortened form the great berakah following the hearing of Gods word. However, this time is not just the light of the knowledge of God which is the central theme of the prayer, but rather the life found in this presence with his own.
A most interesting and important feature of the prayer was a special insertion for a Sabbath or a feast day. It centered on the idea of the memorial. In the case of the meal, the food reminded the people of the creation of life, and the land which had produced the food reminded them of salvific history, of which they were the heirs. So now they say to God: Let this memorial of your own people, of your high deeds in the past of the promised Messiah and the expected Kingdom arise, be accepted in Your Presence, and may we be introduced together with it into all that You have promised and we expect in faith.
As Jeremias, the German exegete, has shown, the memorial in Jewish liturgy, as in the whole Bible, is not just a subjective reminder; it is a token given to us by God himself of the permanence in the present of his saving acts in the past, of their continuing activity in our midst. But even more important, the memorial is given us by God to be re-presented to him, to remind him of his promises, so that we may be sure to be accepted when we supplicate him for the final fulfillment in us and for us of his loving will.
All this brings us inevitably to Jesus, at the end of the meal, taking the one bread, blessing it, and breaking it as his body was to be broken for us and given to us to make us one body; and also to his blessing the last cup, as the communion in his blood which will introduce us into his new and everlasting covenant. Henceforth, that meal was to become the memorial, no longer of the preparatory saving deeds of God in the Old Covenant, but of his cross and resurrection, as the fulfillment of all the images and promises. As St. Paul was to comment: Every time therefore you eat of that bread and drink of that cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes. This means, as Jeremias has shown: Every time you eat of that bread and drink of that cup you remind God of the death of his son, so that he comes.so that the parousia takes place which shall be the consummation of all things.
Here we can say that as Christ appears in the Gospel as the perfect word of God to man, in his divine life become human, as the Son of God become the Son of Man, so at the summit of his human life, he becomes perfect Eucharist, the perfect surrender of man to the loving will of God, in one definitive sacrifice of praise.
Just as the priest in the first part of the celebration appears as the representative of the head to the body, to bring to its members the fullness of the presence and the creative and redemptive activity of God, given in the word made man; so the priest in the second part of the celebration appears as the representative of the head in the body, in the solemn rehearsal of the eucharistic prayer and self-oblation of Christ, in and for his body the Church, to make it possible for all the members of Christ to be consummated in their unity with him, their unity in him, their common self-offering to the loving obedience of his only Son.
When we see the priest in the midst of his brothers in Christ celebrating the Eucharist with them, it should be manifest that this ministerial oriesthood, the sacramental sign in our midst of the one priesthood of Christ, far from making useless or void the royal priesthood of all believers, has no other meaning or object but to make it fully actualized. In fact, the two fundamental priestly actions of the minister: his proclamation of the word, his consecration and distribution of the Eucharist, are deprived of content and meaning if they are not seen in their necessary connection with the three priestly actions of the whole body of Christ, constantly described by the Fathers as praying, offering, and communicating.
The proclamation of the word in its full actualization of the presence of Christ in our midst as the Living Word would be meaningless were it not to create the response of faith, exultant praise, and confident expectation which is properly the prayer of the faithful. That prayer, that response, evoked by the word itself, also has to lead to a total surrender of our human nature, of all our actions. This the faithful will express in offering the bread and wine, as their whole being and life, to be taken into its very source. However, this surrender would be ineffective were it not taken by Christ, consecrated and assimilated to his own sacrifice, through his own eucharistic prayer which the priest uttersonce again, as Christs own sacerdotal prayer as the head, in and for the body. But again, that consecration itself, of our food and drink into the body and the blood of Christ, into the very source of the new life, would be meaningless were it not to lead to the communion of all: to our being personally and collectively renewed in our actual membership in Christs own body, to penetrate the whole world with the new and eternal life of the resurrected Christ, to the glory of the Father, in the power of the Spirit.
In this sense, the Christian priest, of all men, is to be fully a man for others, as the minister of the headship of the body. Just as Christ did not die to dispense us from suffering and dying, but to make us able to die as he only could die, to kill death, and to manifest in man and in the whole creation the life of God himself; so the priest, a shepherd following the Good Shepherd along that way that he alone could tread, leads Christs flock, through the word and the great sacrament of the cross, the fullness of life.

Bomber jackets are something i don't own many of, so when Sammydress.com offered to send me me a few items from their store to review i jumped at the opportunity.
After looking around their site and feeling heavily inspired by the pink patch bomber jacket i got (you can read the review here), i was on the hunt for something very similiar.
Which is when i spotted this Bomber jacket .
Adorable patches and cute little badges are something that are very quickly becoming a fashion fave. I'm always on the hunt for something to spice up my wardrobe, that's unique and has a bit of personality which i think this bomber does well.
Upon recieving this Bomber jacket i was plesently surprised by how thick it was, meaning i could use it as a coat and not be cold! As a naturally cold person, having a cute jacket which i can wear out in the cold (and not being frozen) is a feature i don't often find.
Available in sizes S to L in army green or black, I ordered the jacket in the army green colour and got a size M as i wanted it to be a bit baggy on me rather than to actually fit. In autumn / winter i prefer my clothes to be baggy as i find them comfier, plus i wasn't sure how restricting this jacket was going to be. Thankfully it's not restricting at all and i'm really happy with the fit and sizing.
The badges and patches on this bomber are really different to anything i've ever seen before, it's totally me which i absolutly love. Cartoon/ drawn prints are something i've always loved on t-shirts, so the fact the patches are done in this way is another reason why i love this jacket so much.
The only bad thing i have to say about this bomber is that the stitching of a few of the patches came loose after washing it which i was a bit disappointed with but nothing that can't be fixed and definately not something to put you off buying. I've bought items with my own money in the past that has been a lot worse for quality of stitching.
I've found that this bomber goes with a lot of my current wardrobe which is not a bad thing, i've enjoyed paring it with pencil skirts, legging and jeans, with simple t-shirts or vest tops as the bomber will clash with patterns. The Bomber jacket can be dressed up or down which i really like.
After wearing this to college recently i recieved a lot of compliments on the jacket which i was happy with.
On sale from
Below are some photo's of the patches and badges:
How cute is this Bomber jacket , i need more in my life!

History of Blogging Platforms? Sounds interesting for every blogger, right ? Blogging is a very popular word today. But there was no such popularity before some decades. Even the word BLOG was not in the dictionary. Yes. you heard correctly. There was no such word in dictionary before 2003.
Today the Internet consists of a millions of Blog. And a lot of Blogging Platforms are being used to create them. The term "Blogging" has emerged from many stages and a lot of platforms are created for personal as well as commercial use.
Some popular platforms such as WordPress, Blogger, TypePad, Tumblr, Live Journal which has their own signs in the history! Today I have summed up a little and brief history of some popular blogging platform that are playing a major role in the building of the web.
Let's dive into the history with the following Infographic.

We have been successfully using Cypress to verify our websites and web apps for a while. Here are some tips & tricks we have learned.
Even this blog is tested using Cypress :)
Read the docs
Cypress has excellent documentation at https://docs.cypress.io/, including examples, guides, videos and even a busy Gitter chat channel. There is also "Search" box that quickly finds relevant documents. Recently common recipes were combined into a single place. If you still have an issue with Cypress, please search through open and closed issues.
You can also read my other blog posts about Cypress under tags/cypress.
Run Cypress on your own CI
As long as the project has a project key, you can run the tests on your own CI boxes. I found running inside Docker to be the easiest, and even built an unofficial Docker image with all dependencies.
Note that
cypress ci ... will upload recorded videos and screenshots
(if capturing them is enabled)
to the Cypress cloud, while
cypress run ... will not.
Record success and failure videos
When Cypress team has released the video capture feature in version 0.17.11 it quickly became my favorite. I have configured our GitLab CI to keep artifacts from failed test runs for 1 week, while keeping videos from successful test runs only for a 3 days.
Whenever a test fails, I watch the failure video side by side with the video from the last successful test run. The differences in the subject under test are quickly obvious.
Move common code into utility package
Testing code should be engineered as well as the production code. To avoid duplicating testing helper utilities, we advise to move all common helpers into their own NPM module. For example, we use local CSS styles with randomized class names in our web code.
<div class="table-1b4a2 people-5ee98">
This makes the selectors very long since we need to use prefixes.
cy.get('[class*=people-]') // UGLY!
By creating a tiny helper function we alleviated the selector head aches.
import {classPrefix} from '@team/cypress-utils/css-names'
The test code became a lot more readable.
Separate tests into bundles
Using a single
cypress/integration/spec.js file to test a large web
application quickly becomes difficult and time consuming. We have separated
our code into multiple files. Additionally, we keep the source files
src folder and build the multiple bundles in
using kensho/multi-cypress tool.
multi-cypress tool assumes that Docker and GitLab CI are used to
actually run the tests. Each test will be inside its own "test job", thus
10 spec files can be executed at once (assuming at least 10 GitLab CI
runners are available).
The command to run a specific spec file is
cypress run --spec "spec/filename.js" by the way.
Make JavaScript crashes useful
As I have said before, the true value of a test is not when it passes, but when it fails. Additionally, even a passing test might generate client-side errors that are not crashes and do not fail the test. For example, we often use Sentry exception monitoring service where we forward all client-side errors.
If a client-side error happens while the E2E Cypress test is running, we need this additional context: which test is executing, what steps were already finished before the error was reported, etc.
By loading a small library send-test-info before each test, we can capture the name of the test, its spec filename and even the Cypress test log as breadcrumbs; this information is then sent to Sentry with each crash. For example, the exception below shows the name of the test when the error was reported
Similarly, the Cypress test steps are logged as breadcrumbs and are sent with the exception allowing any developer to quickly get a sense when the error happens as the test runs.
Use test names when creating data
Often as part of the E2E test we create items / users / posts. I like to put the full test title in the created data to easily see what test created which datum. Inside the test we can quickly grab the full title (which includes the full parent's title and the current test name) from the context.
I also like creating random numbers for additional difference
const uuid = () => Cypress._.random(0, 1e6)
Explore the environment
You can pause the test execution by using
debugger keyword. Make sure
the DevTools are open!
it('bar', function () {
Run all spec files locally
If you separate Cypress E2E tests into multiple spec files, you soon end up with lots of files. If you need to run the scripts one by one from the command line, I wrote a small utility run-each-cypress-spec.
npm install -g run-each-cypress-spec
If you need environment variables (like urls, passwords), you can easily inject them using as-a
as-a cy run-specs
Get command log on failure
While videos of the failed tests are useful, sometimes we just want to get a sense of the failure before triaging it. In the headless CI mode, you can get a JSON file for each failed test with the log of all commands. See the JSON file below as an example of a failed test and the file it generated.
This is a separate project that just needs to be included from your
cypress/support/index.js file. For instructions see
cypress-failed-log project.
Wait on the right thing
It is important to wait for the right element. Imagine we have a list of items in the DOM. We expect a new element to appear with text "Hello". We could select first the list, then the element containing "Hello" and check if it becomes visible
But sometimes it does not work. When we
cy.get('.list') Cypress saves the
DOM element as the "subject" and then tries to wait for a child of that
element with text "Hello" to become visible. If we use React for example, the
DOM of the list might be recreated from scratch if we push a new item into
the list. When that happens Cypress notices that the "subject" DOM it holds
a reference to becomes "detached from the DOM" - it becomes an orphan!
A better solution to this problem is to use a composite CSS selector that will grab the list AND the item in a single operation.
cy.contains('.list li', 'Hello')
This forces Cypress to wait for the list AND list item element without caching
a reference to the DOM element
You can use advanced CSS selectors to get an element in a single command.
For example instead of
cy.get('.something').first() you could
cy.get('.something:first-child'). Similarly,
// get first element
Write and read files
You can write files to disk directly from Cypress using
cy.writeFile and read an
existing file using cy.readFile.
What if you want to read a file that might not exist?
cy.readFile will fail
the test if file does not exist, thus we need to find a work around.
In my case, the file I would like to load is a JSON of test values useful for Jest-like snapshot testing.
Here is a neat trick. Save the file using
cy.writeFile, for example
cy.writeFile('spanshots.json') whenever there is something to save.
When reading the file, fetch it through the Cypress code proxy using
Notice how the test spec itself is served by Cypress from URL which looks like
Let us "hack" it to load a file that might not exist.
The code below tries to load snapshots file before each test.
If the
fetch call fails, the file does not exist.
let snapshots
If the
fetch call succeeds, the returned
text will NOT be original JSON!
Instead it will be webpacked module :)
For example, here is the saved file
Here is how built-in Cypress bundler returns it in response to
/__cypress/tests?p=./snapshots.json - I have shortened the webpack
boilerplate preamble.
(function e(t,n,r){function ...)({1:[function(require,module,exports){
Notice that our JSON has been placed into module with id '1' (first line
{1:). The entire bundle registers a stand alone
function. If we want to get into the actual "module" contents we have to
do the following in our
function loadedText(text) to finish the hack
function loadedText (text) {
Boom, the object
snapshots has been loaded from the file
which might or might not exist.
Note while I have successfully used the above hack when running Cypress
locally, it was always failing when doing
cypress run in headless mode.
Conditional logic
Sometimes you might need to interact with a page element that does not always exist. For example there might a modal dialog the first time you use the website. You want to close the modal dialog.
But the modal is not shown the second time around and the above code will fail. In order to check if an element exists without asserting it, use the proxied jQuery function Cypress.$
const $el = Cypress.$('.greeting')
The above check is safe.
Customize Cypress test runner colors
Read Cypress Halloween Theme and check out cypress-dark plugin.
Shorten assertions
cy.location you can pass the part you are interested in
cy.location().should(location => {
is the same as
cy.location('pathname').should('equal', '/todos')
You can use
its to get nested properties easier
cy.get('@login').should(req => {
is the same as
and this could be expressed more clearly in steps
cy.then(() => {
You can wait for network request to happen and then check something using
// notice that we are waiting for @login XHR alias
Instead we can use
.then after waiting for the network request. It is also helpful to print the message when checking for the token, otherwise command log simply says "expect null to equal null".
You don't need to wrap elements just to dynamically use them. For example if you want to test each item from the list
const inputs = [
Every Cypress command is automatically inserted into the queue, so you can iterate over the items and use Cypress commands, everything will be queued correctly.
inputs.forEach(input => {
I prefer
cy.first() to
Disable ServiceWorker
ServiceWorkers are great - but they can really affect your end-to-end tests by introducing caching and coupling tests. If you want to disable the service worker caching you need to remove or delete
navigator.serviceWorker when visiting the page with
First, here is the way that does not work - simply deleting the property from the
navigator object.
it('disables it', function () {
The reason for this is that we are deleting the property from the wrong object. The
serviceWorker is NOT defined on the
navigator, it is defined on its prototype. You can confirm this by using
Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor method:
Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(win.navigator, 'serviceWorker')
After we delete the property from the right object, the application code will no longer think it can register the service worker.
it('disables it', function () {
Note: once deleted, the SW stays deleted in the window, even if the application navigates to another URL.
Read also "Stub navigator API in end-to-end tests" for another example.
Imagine you have a page that shows different greeting depending on the
navigator.language property.
How do we check if the default English greeting is displayed? Easily
it('shows default greeting', () => {
But how do we force the Klingon greeting to be displayed? Trying to change read-only
navigator.language property throws an error.
it('shows Klingon greeting', () => {
navigator.language property is actually set on
navigator.__proto__ object:
Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(navigator, 'language')
We can create
language property on the
navigator object instead - thanks, prototypical inheritance! We can specify the property's value:
it('shows Klingon greeting', () => {
This test shows proper respect to each Klingon warrior browsing the web.
How do we ensure that the application actually read
navigator.language property when displaying the greeting? Maybe the "nuqneH" is hard-coded! We need to track
navigator.language "get" access. We can do this using
cy.stub method.
it('checks if application gets language property', () => {
Now we know for sure how the application behaves.

Children love toys, period. Their bright colors, interesting shapes and odd sizes attract every baby's attention.
Wood vs. Plastic toys;
Kids couldn't care less about whether wood or plastic toys are better for them, they can get amused by simply any object. Wood toys are known to be way safer to use then plastic, although there are a few things parents need to consider before buying wood toys. Wood toys have a far better lasting quality then plastic and are known to be way safer as well.
Here are a few things to look for when buying good quality wood toys:
- Hardwood such as maple, this makes sure that the wood does not splinter.
- The surface of the toy should be flat and smooth.
- The color of the toy should not have a strong scent.
- Small parts of the toy should not come off easily, because this can cause choking hazard.
Additionally, you should always make sure that the wood toys that you purchase are free of toxins and have a safety proof seal or sticker on it. Purchasing from companies that are known to have a positive reputation for safe and good quality toys are important things to look at.
Here are some popular wood toys that you might want to consider buying:
- Teething rings
- If your baby is older than 6 months, toys such as, little cars and playhouses are very popular.
- Wood blocks and blocks on stings that make noises.

Admitting to yourself that you have a problem is one of the hardest steps to take in the recovery process. Admitting to someone else that you have a problem is the hardest step to take in the recovery process.
Or, at least I hope.
Since most people with eating disorders feel embarrassed and ashamed, the thought of telling someone can be absolutely petrifying as we fear how they will react when we tell them. When taking this step, be sure that you choose to tell someone whom you trust and feel comfortable talking with. Many people start by telling a close friend or their family doctor. I remember when I first "came out of the eating disorder closet", it was my friend, Mallory, whom I told. Although, at the time, I don't think either of us thought it was a big deal, the fact that I told her regardless of how severe we thought it was was a huge step for me.
Whether you choose to tell your family, aunt, uncle, spouse, sibling, whatever the case may be, keep in mind it is impossible for you to predict how anyone will react. The only way you can find out is by taking the risk and revealing your eating disorders to someone.There is a possibility that the person you tell may be shocked, saddened, supportive, upset, worried, or may even cry. The person you tell might not even know how to react; they may need a few days to process the information. However, these emotions they may show are only because they care. No matter what the reaction is, remember that this person may need a few days to sit with the information you just gave them. When telling someone, make sure to bring information about eating disorders to give to that person. That way they can have the chance to read and educate themselves about what eating disorders are and how to be helpful to you.
Unfortunately, in life we are not always faced with people who are understanding. Sometimes people cannot grasp the severity of an eating disorder. When someone is not educated about eating disorders and has no understanding, they can sometimes be cruel and say hurtful things. This can be difficult to have happen but try to remind yourself that this person has never walked a day in your shoes and that they just simply do not know. Try not to take it as a personal hit. You can still give that person information to read and hope they learn something from it.
Telling someone takes a lot of courage and you should be proud of yourself each time you do it. I know for me, once I started telling more people about my eating disorder, I started to feel a great sense of relief; like my burdens were released and I could finally take a break from it all. I felt less isolated, less shameful, and less alone. Sometimes just sitting down with someone and saying, "Dude, I'm fucked up. I need help", is one way of getting it right out in the open. If you find it too difficult to say what you're struggling with verbally, you can always choose to write a letter to the person you want to tell and let them know that way. If you have decided to first tell a therapist, you can always choose to have the therapist present with you when you decide to talk to family members and friends. That way, the therapist could be there to answer questions, explain what eating disorders are, and how they can be helpful to you in your journey to recovery.
The "coming out" phase is usually when we find out which people are going to be part of our support system. By people's reactions and how they feel, you can decide for yourself which people you want to help and which people you do not want to help. Having family members in your support system is great however that does not always happen at first. It can be painful if you do not have their support but remember that with things like support groups and online recovery forums, there are other people available to help you. Always. It is important that you do what is best for you and your recovery.
Recovery takes time and it can be a long road, but it is a road worth taking.
Good luck!
