Digitalization requires action
According to a current study, managers are afraid that start-ups could become threatening competitors. But this is no excuse to fall into actionism – strategic thinking is required in 2017.
I recently came across a statistic which astonished me: 73 percent of all German managers are afraid that start-ups could become threatening competitors. The Dell study showed, that more than half of the companies are afraid that their business model could become obsolete in five years. This shows once again, that the pressure of keeping digitalization up to date is increasing.
Digitalization will change the corporate culture
Of course this does not mean to just digitalize quickly and without consideration. It is time to define a digitalization strategy and to start with the question "why" instead of "how"; this also includes to obtain information about customers and competitors – like which digital services are arising? What do customers require nowadays? Because: Every new startup and every new disruptive business idea requires new expectations and changed target groups. So this forces companies to shape their business models and internal structures more flexibly. This also effects the corporate culture. And it is definitely a challenge to change it, but that is what digital transformation requires. Digitalization requires action – action from entrepreneurs!
Cloud enables you to optimize your existing business and implement new things, from the technical side. Even with manageable investments, the required speed and a maximum of security and scalability.
Optimize with the cloud
In such a way, for example, a real estate company could optimize its customer relations massively – without losing its traditional business model. The company customized its former IT landscape, which had five different CRM systems, timely and replaced it through a modern, central cloud solution. With a sales cloud, you are totally focusing on customers. However, a shipping company founded in 1924 knows, thanks to a cloud based tracking technology, at every single minute where its containers are and in which condition – cleverly devised transmission routes, from containers to the deck and via global mobile networks into Telekom's Cloud, are in use. An insurance company simplifies its tendering and procurement processes for contract partners by using the cloud platform, this connects about 80,000 companies, 180,000 doctors, 2,000 hospitals and 22,000 pharmacies quickly, effectively and securely.
This shows how entrepreneurialism and actionism distinguish from each other. These innovations are built on expertise and completely aligned to customers and the business' efficiency. The companies implemented exactly what the survey revealed:
- Changed customer requirements are the main cause for digitalization
- If you want to enable new things, it has to be available at any time
- At the same time, safety must be guaranteed and must not be affected by e.g. new mobile offers.
I would like to add one point: Compatibility of single solutions need to be ensured in a growing IT landscape. Someone who has to manage too many technology partners will quickly lose the overview. I would recommend, especially for mid-sized companies who not really know where to implement which solution first, to rely on providers who offer a broad portfolio from one source. And who also offer comprehensive and competent consultations, so the digital transformation succeeds. I would be happy to support you, in this matter.

How do you start to get the "feel" of a place? Whether you are traveling, or moving to a new city or a new country, how do you take in more than just seeing the sights? The following 7 tips have helped us the most in getting to know the real Amsterdam.
Ride Public Transportation
Yes, at home you may think that taking the bus is just not going to happen. But when you are in a new place, you can see places and people that you would not see while walking to check the next box off your list. Some buses or trams take you to just the parts of the city you want to see so you are getting a bit of a tour. When using public transportation, just make sure you are doing it right and remember to watch the locals!
People Watch
If it's nice out, find somewhere with outdoor seating where you can watch people go about their day. Of course, inside is fine too but try to get a window! See how the locals live. Watch them bike, walk, talk, drive, etc. Watch how they greet each other or how they say goodbye. See how parents interact with children. If it's really nice out, go to the grocery store (another great way to get a feel) to grab some food and drink and head to some steps, a park, or a bench and just eat while taking in your surroundings.
Eat at Local Restaurants
I don't mean you have to eat local and organic (although, those aren't bad things!). But find where the locals have their after-work beer or late-night burger. Skip McDonalds, Burger King, Hard Rock, Subway, or anything you can get at home! Find the authentic. Think a little outside the box, too. If you are traveling to another country, think about what areas they have as territories now or have had in the past. Why? Because some of those people settled in the "home" country and brought their cuisine with them. Did you know that many Indonesian and Surinamese people live in the Netherlands because they used to be under Dutch rule? So, you can find authentic food from those cultures in Amsterdam as well as the pancakes and herring that you probably think of. I've been using Yelp! to find places…I still have a lot in my bookmarks to try!
Rent an apartment
Typically we will rent an apartment if we stay somewhere for more than a day or two. This may not be in the center of where you want to be, but it will give you a different perspective. And let's face it, you'll be in the center pretty much every day anyway, so try something a little different (and probably quieter) for your sleeping arrangements. Did you know that especially during longer stays, that renting an apartment is usually cheaper? I don't just mean the price, but you might have a kitchen and can at least make your breakfasts in your apartment and save money that way. We use Airbnb for our rentals and have had very good luck with them. When we started our new life adventure as expats, we started off in an Airbnb! BONUS: Use our referral link to give it a try and get $25 off your first rental. Woo-hoo!
Find a Local Festival
Any major city probably has various kinds of festivals running from April through October. See what you can find and join in! We found a wine festival in Amstelveen during our first weekend here. It's a town just south of Amsterdam (by the airport) and super easy to get to. So, we figured out how to get there and learned how the festival ran. It is a festival for locals and there was no English anywhere, so we asked a lot of questions to figure out the whole process. But that's part of it. Go beyond what others might do when visiting, find the unique things you want to do. You may have to get out of the city center to do some of the cooler things, so just keep that in mind. Here's a great list from Rick Steves if you are traveling to Europe of local festivals.
Get Lost
Walk. Then walk. Maybe take a bus/tram/train, then walk some more. Not only is this amazing exercise, but you can find and see things that aren't in guidebooks. Today we found a place with macaroons that we didn't know existed because we had never walked that way before. But we will find our way back to give them a try. When you find a spot that is just right, hang out there for a while and take it all in. You are in this place in this moment. Take some time to really focus on the right now. I have found a couple of these spots in Amsterdam. If you visit, see if they do it for you too: Rembrantplein, Dam Square, or any bench on the side of a canal…stop and watch the world go by — and let me know what it does for you.
Talk to Locals
This may show up last on this list, but that's only because we hope you found a way to do this through the list above. If you haven't found a local to talk to by this point, go to a bar, a park, or anywhere, and just start talking. Ask them a simple question, or make a comment. It could lead to a whole conversation! I had a 45 minute chat with a girl because I commented that her breakfast looked good and I missed the cheap breakfast that was on the menu. We spoke about everything from living in Utrecht vs. living in Amsterdam, university, politics, etc. It was a great conversation while we ate and she waited for her train. You just never know!
You will have an amazing time and you might stress out a bit. You will be uncomfortable and you will walk away with stories. And I hope that you learn a little more about yourself in whatever travels you may take.
What would you add to this list? Has any one person had an unexpected positive influence on a trip you have taken? I would love to hear about it!

Tip#6 Take a Cold Shower!
Showers are also preferred over bathtubs because they clean the body more effectively and are easier to maintain.The downside of a shower is that, because it sprays water, can regularly put more moisture into the air and onto the walls and floor than a bathtub.
I get it, this one is going to be hard for some of you but really, do you need to take hot showers when it's 102 and the ReelFeel is 115? Shouldn't you want to take cold showers?
As you can tell, this is a thorny topic in my house because Mrs. Cobos will take a hot shower any day of the week regardless of the temperature outside. The water coming out of the city pipe isn't all that cold. Raleigh water supply isn't is coming from aquifers 150 feet in the earth it's coming from Falls & Jordan Lakes for goodness sake!
OK, now that I vented, make sure it IS vented. In other words, if you have someone in your home who needs to take Hollywood showers open the bathroom window or use the exhaust vent. Nothing heats a house faster than boiling water.

Every year in January, millions of people promise to reinvent themselves with a New Year's resolution. Some choose to start eating healthier and go to the gym regularly while others might vow to save up to go to an exotic location.
Still looking for a resolution? How about fixing your credit score in 2018?
According to a survey done by Exclusive MoneyTips, nearly 3 in 10 adults in the United States have admitted to not knowing their score. Whether you are buying a home, a car or applying for a credit card, lenders everywhere want to know the risk they're taking by lending you your money.
Before we tell you how to improve your credit score, we're going to break down what a credit score actually is.
What is a Credit Score and Where Does it Come From
Your credit score is simply a number based on your credit files (such as loans or credit cards) that expresses to a lender how creditworthy you are. You actually have several different types of scores based off every model that has ever been developed.
The model used by over 90 percent of all financial institutions in the United States is the FICO credit score. Your FICO credit score is made up of three numbers from the three major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian and TransUnion.
The score will look at how much debt you have, your repayment history and a few other elements. The complete breakdown is in the chat below:
Your FICO score ranges from 300 to 850. Within this range there are different categories, from poor to excellent. Bad to poor credit is under 500 to 600, fair credit is anything between 601 and 660 and good credit is 661 or above.
How to Raise Your Score
Here are some tips to get your new 2018 resolution going and to fix your credit score.
- Actually check your credit report. In order to know you have to fix your credit, you have to know what your score is. To find out your score click here.
- Take care of all past due amounts. As you can tell from the chart above, payment history has the biggest impact on your score. Make it a goal to have all of your past due amounts paid and take care of collection accounts.
- Pay off high balances. The higher your balances are, the more it hurts your credit score. Bring any maxed out credit cards below the limit and continue to pay high balances off. Ideally you want your balances to be below 10 percent, but your credit score will also respond well to less than 30 percent.
- Pay all of your bills on time. Life can get hectic at times, so setting an alert on your phone or signing up for automatic payments for your bills can help you make sure they are paid on time.
- Beware of closing a credit card. Closing a credit card can actually hurt your account, especially when you have a balance. In addition, closing your old credit cars, especially the oldest one, can make your credit history seem shorter than it actually is.
- Look into what type of credit you actually have. If you are guilty of only having just credit cards or just loans out, your credit score could be affected. It is good to have a mix of both.
Remember the first step to fixing your credit is educating yourself on what factors go into your score and ways you can fix it. By reading this blog you've already accomplished that!

Yoga Flow with Awesome Lisa this morning…opened, as is customary, with an invitation to dedicate our practice to an idea, a value, an individual…if you are reading this, you very likely know the drill. "Open," popped in to my mind, and during our warm up and breathing I could imagine my ribs expanding, allowing golden light to pour out from my heart, like through shutters.
Pretty, huh?
However, as can happen to me from time to time, I found my intention shifting over the course of the practice. This can tend to happen to me…I'm a total Myers-Briggs ENTP, full of Big Ideas that rapidly shift once a new Big Idea arises in my mind. This time, though, it wasn't my crazy short-attention span that set me on a new dedication. This time, it was the practice itself that changed my mind's direction, and, ironically, it was my distractable nature that fell in to view.
Usually, the Yoga Flow class flows. Not that we didn't today, but not just at the usual clip. Today, Awesome Lisa (who will be delighted to learn that I have embellished her name behind her back) had us pause a bit to evaluate our technique in each of our Asanas. Where are your shoulders? Which areas are bearing the weight of this pose? Are you trying to get lower or higher or deeper in a bind at the expense of the soul of the pose?
And thus, a new intention was born. It isn't just about jumping ahead,trying to climb the mountain "because it's there." It's about learning and absorbing along the way. It's about living in this moment here, in the present. Being in the now, and all of those mindful practices that elude me on a regular basis.
Lesson learned? Well, I hesitate to commit to having actually learned ANYTHING….But, I do have a renewed interest in an area that has been a lingering question for me for years. The Devil is , for me, in the details. It's all very well and good to move on to the next stage…but, who is to say that the last stage was actually completed? And, most confusingly, does a system of approved progression help more people to a disciplined practice, or does it distract them with structure and the desire to outdo one's classmates?
I massively appreciated the opportunity I got in today's practice: that is, to explore and honor the fact that the subtleties in the simplest of poses can make the difference between an effective stretch and a useless one. Yes, several of my "Oooh, I'm ready for the advanced variation" positions were changed back to "maybe the adaptation for beginners is more my speed," but, then, it's a wake-up I obviously needed.
So, instead of just "Open," I get a dedication to one of my own weaknesses, and, as usual, it applies way, WAY beyond Yoga. Sometimes, you need to slow down the flow of your life, take stock, and make sure your form is healthy. Keep reaching further down in your metaphorical triangle, but don't forget to keep your hips in one plane.
Lesson one had me hold this post overnight to check for typos. So, you see, I can be taught!
And, now, it's off to my yoga togs for a quick practice. I'll even multitask a bit and put a bottle of wine in to chill while I'm out. So gifted.
Wonderful weekend, my friends, and stay warm.

Late last month, the U.S. Department of Labor ("DOL") and the Federal Acquisition Regulator Council issued their long-awaited final rules ("Rules") and guidance ("Guidance") regarding Executive Order 13673−Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces. Executive Order 13673, which President Barack Obama signed into law on July 31, 2014 and amended on August 23, 2016, generally requires federal contractors and subcontractors to disclose certain labor law violations and worker wage information when bidding on and performing federal contracts. Any organization that is party to or aids in the performance of a large contract with the federal government would be wise to pay careful attention to the new Rules and Guidance, as they will be expected to comply therewith beginning on October 25, 2016. The Rules and Guidance require contractors to stay abreast of labor law developments and thus have added yet another layer of complexity to the contract compliance process.
The scope of Executive Order 13673 and its implementing Rules and Guidance is exceptionally broad, such that both Congress and industry participants have already raised concerns about the new law. If not struck down or amended, the Rules and Guidance detail an intricate process through which prospective contractors must publicly disclose whether any civil, arbitral, or administrative determinations have been issued against the contractor for violation(s) of 14 federal labor laws, state occupational safety and health plans approved by OSHA, and a number of yet-to-be-determined other state laws. New "labor compliance advisors" will then analyze the disclosures and advise the appropriate contracting officer as to the contractor's eligibility for federal contract awards.
The stakes of self-reporting labor violations are very high, given that a labor compliance advisor may recommend that a contracting officer terminate a contract, condition award or continued performance of a contract on a contractor's agreement to enter into a labor compliance agreement with a third party, or even seek to suspend or debar the contractor. Once a federal contract is awarded, Executive Order 13673 further requires that language regarding subcontractor labor violations, worker classification and wage information, and pre-dispute arbitration limitations may be included in appropriate contracts.
Given the complexity of Executive Order 13673, the Rules and Guidance provide for a gradual phasing in of contractors' obligations thereunder. Beginning this week, current or prospective contractors may voluntarily request that the DOL assess the contractor's labor law compliance history. If such an assessment is requested, the DOL will provide the contractor with advice as to whether any of the contractor's violations are potentially problematic, as well as an opportunity to remedy such problems before bidding on a specific acquisition.
If a contractor participates in the preassessment process and receives a satisfactory record of labor law compliance, the contracting officer is permitted to rely on the DOL's preassessment (provided no new violations are disclosed) if said contractor subsequently submits a bid on a contract. Moreover, the DOL has identified participation in the preassessment process as a mitigating factor that the labor compliance advisor should consider in future bids. The preassessment phase is on-going and will not close when the Rules and Guidance take effect on October 25, 2016.
In order to comply with Executive Order 13673, any contractor that intends to bid on future federal contracts (or subcontractors who intend to work on such contracts), should be prepared to identify whether:
- The relevant contract falls within Executive Order 13673's scope;
- A civil, arbitral, or administrative determination has been issued against the contractor for violation of any one of the specific labor laws identified in Executive Order 13673;
- Such a determination was issued within the appropriate time period for which disclosure is required; and
- Private disclosure of any additional information surrounding the labor law violation is warranted.

? New coaches, new GMs, new owners and new arenas are also significant factors in judging a team's summer success.

Perhaps he could donate funds to some obscure university with the stipulation that they use the money to research diseases of the blood in hopes of finding a way to reverse the effects of the Dark Gift. Or maybe he could open a training school for vampire hunters… Returning to his room, he rummaged through his purchases, deciding on a pair of black jeans and a bulky white sweater. He paused in front of the mirror, a faint smile playing over his face. He had never been a handsome man.
Play the part. He gazed deep into her eyes. Summoning his power, he bent her will to his, felt her body relax at his suggestion. Her eyelids fluttered down, her head lolled to one side, exposing the smooth expanse of her neck. He took a deep breath. " Chiavari's words echoed in the back of his mind as he bent over the woman's neck. Revulsion warred with his hunger. The hunger won, rising up within him, hot and hungry and overpowering. He drank quickly, sickened by what he was doing, filled with bitter self-loathing because even though the act disgusted him, he found pleasure in it.
Wading into the water, he grabbed her by the shoulder. She was unconscious, no doubt from the impact of hitting the frigid water. There were dark smudges under her eyes. Her face was pale, her lips tinged with blue. She was far too thin. Kneeling, he laid her on the sand, took off his coat and wrapped it around her, then gathered her into his arms once again. He stared down at her. He had not yet fed. The Siren call of her blood whispered to the hunger within him. He suppressed the urge, pleased by his power to do so.

The hopes of establishing a technology valley in Egypt's Suez Canal region have taken somewhat of a back seat to national issues - such as reforming the energy industry and managing its flailing pound - over the past three years. As such, Suez's regional economy has neither become synonymous with the fast-developing technology sector nor strong ICT services as was originally envisioned.
There are, however, indications that this could materialise sooner rather than later. For Sisi to run on a re-election ticket of economic prowess in 2018, the Suez Canal must start to bear the fruits that Egypt's political leader promised. Leveraging its potential to become a tech hub may aid the political elite, and thus garner steady momentum over the short term.
- Egypt's Suez Canal is the focal point of long term economic investment, with the dredging and expansion of the Canal in 2015 only meant to be the first phase of this project. Inward investment into urban spaces scattered along the banks of the canal is phase two, with technology and ICT services earmarked to benefit cities that include Ismailia, Port Said and Ain Sokhna among others.
- In support of this, Egypt's government has eased the barriers to entry in the Suez region for foreign investors by creating the General Authority for the Suez Canal Economic Zone, which stands as an offshore business hub.
- Although there are still several hidden risks to operating in the region, the climate for investment in Suez and the technology sector represents an opportunity for investors looking to expand operations.

One of the most prevalent questions I get is whether or not to get the flu vaccine. Recently my daughter was coerced into getting the flu vaccine – something she adamantly opposes. How did it happen? Bribery combined with peer pressure…
If everyone in her department got the flu vaccine, they would enjoy a "pizza party". Seriously? Being new to her department, her new supervisor singled her out as the only "hold out". Not wanting to create waves, she acquiesced.
I'm amazed and very skeptical of the push for everyone to get vaccinated against the flu, especially since, according to the CDC the effectiveness of the vaccine is dependent on
the similarity or "match" between the flu viruses the flu vaccine is designed to protect against and the flu viruses spreading in the community… read article here

nasal spray, aimed mainly at children, didn't work at all for kids ages 2 through 8
You gotta wonder why they bribe us, offer incentives, and use such strong coercive tactics to get us all to "get vaccinated". If I were a conspiracy theorist, I'd be wondering…

Nutrient dense and packed with vitamins, vegetables are one of our bodies' most powerful fuel sources.
Eating fruits and vegetables daily are an important part of being healthy and feeling good. On top of their nutritional value, fruits and vegetables will fill you up, without leaving you bloated or uncomfortable, compared to sugary and processed foods. While fruits are easier to introduce in your diet as their sweeter taste appeal to more people, vegetables can be more difficult to include in your daily habits. Here are 7 tricks to eat more vegetables on a daily basis:
1. Snack smarter
A healthy snack can help you go through the day without indulging in processed or sugary foods. Curb your hunger with the right snacks to get energy at the right times and bring important nutrients to your body. To avoid temptation, make sure to have healthy snacks available at your desk, in your pantry and even in your purse or car if you are often on the move. A few good options for healthy snacks can be cut vegetables such as carrots, cucumbers, peppers or celery.
2. Vegetables-packed breakfast
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but you need to make sure you do it right! The first meal breaks your night fast and start your metabolism, increasing your performances and keeping you full until lunch. Try and include vegetables in your breakfast as much as possible. An easy option to do so is to prepare an omelette. You can add onions, spinach or mushrooms for a tasty, healthy and filling breakfast. You can also implement more vegetables into your meal by juicing them if you are in a hurry.
3. Stock up on the veggies
Try and stock up on seasonal vegetables to get the best quality and freshest products. You can buy them at a local market or decide to buy in bulk and freeze them to keep them longer. If you buy frozen vegetables, make sure to get the ones without added sodium or preservatives. Choose the right fridge to keep your food before you cook it: the Twin Cooling Plus fridge not only will preserve your fresh fruits and vegetables for 2 times longer , but will also keep their taste intact, using the Twin Cooling Plus system to cool different compartments separately, thus avoiding odours to spread.
4. Add more vegetables
An easy way to introduce more vegetables into your daily diet is simply to add more of them onto your dishes. For example, you can make vegetable soups with as many vegetables as you want, using for example carrots, spinach, peppers, kale and more. Pasta sauce can also accommodate many different vegetables, adding in taste and nutrients. Another option is to load your sandwiches with vegetables: add onions, cucumber slices, bell pepper, lettuce or avocado and enjoy your vitamin-packed and flavourful lunch.
5. Forget meat for a day
Pick a particular day in the week, say Tuesday, and make it meat-less. This way, you'll have to introduce more fruits and vegetables into your diet, and probably save some money too. Use meal prep to get ready for the week ahead and prepare your meals in batch to avoid temptations for processed foods on the day. You can use food processors to grate squash, carrots, sweet potatoes, etc.
6. Turn your veggies into crisps
You might like crisps as a snack or side dish already, but this is not your healthiest option. Why not turn your deep fried over salted snack into a healthier version? Oven bake your own vegetables crisps, using for example kale or beans. In addition to the health benefits, these will be cheaper and more fulfilling than a standard bag of potato crisps. Use your baked vegetable crisps as a side dish for lunch, or just as a snack on the go.
7. Indulge in dips
To make your veggies snack tastier, pack them alongside dips whenever possible. There's plenty of possibilities when it comes to savoury dips. Think about homemade hummus, tzatziki, creamy avocado or salsa to make your cut veggies more appealing for a mid-afternoon snack.

Kristi Zarifeh: Canterbury Surfing Champ for 2010
The O'Neill Canterbury Womens Champs was held on Saturday 6 March in clean 2ft waves at New Brighton Beach. A field of 32 women entered 4 divisions and a stand out star emerged in the Open and Junior events. Seventhwave team rider Kristi Zarifeh (from Sumner) ripped her waves to 1st place in the Open and Junior division, having combined scores from her best two waves and more than doubling those of her fellow competitors. As the conditions deteriorated in the afternoon with a strong onshore breeze Kristi still found high scoring waves doing floaters and re entries that impressed the judges. Pic by Mark Stevenson.

Have you ever had homemade strawberry jam? If you haven't, then you've been living an unfulfilled life:) Once you've had it you'll never go back. I grew up on the stuff so naturally I had to have it for my kids. It's a panic day when I go to the freezer to get another container of jam and find I have only one left. I go into a frenzy and rush to the store to get the ingredients. Heaven forbid my kids want a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and I have NO homemade jam!! I don't even think my 2 year old has ever had anything other than homemade jam. Wow…my kids live a sheltered life:)
If you're telling yourself that you don't have the time, or patience, or time…just get over it. It takes no time at all. See no excuses now!
The ONLY merk of pectin you should EVER use in my opinion is MCP from Sure Jell. This is the best one for quick and easy freezer jam. I can't be bothered with cooking anything for jam. This one is SO easy, SO good and SO fast. Sometimes it has been known to be hidden and you might have to go to several stores to find it, but hold out for it cause it's the best.
Just open the box and follow the directions for the Quick and Easy freezer jam. It's as easy as that! And if you're fortunate enough to live in California, you have another advantage…the strawberries. Oh the California strawberries!! They are natures candy there…but only the ones you buy on the side of the road, picked fresh that day, straight from the ground you're standing on. You've never had a sweeter strawberry. I, on the other hand, had to trust my good ole Costco.
2 pounds fresh strawberries, not frozen
1/4 cup lemon juice
4 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 box MCP Sure Jell Pectin
Then just follow the instructions WORD BY WORD. Don't try to add things here or cut corners there. Your jam won't set. Just do EXACTLY what it says. The instructions do say NOT to puree the fruit and leave chunks of fruit, but this is the ONE thing I stray from. I pulse those babies to a fine puree. I don't like chunky jam…no thank you. So go ahead and puree your heart out:)
When it says to stir in the pectin, sprinkle it on very gradually WHILE stirring. I use a whisk. You want the pectin to be nice and incorporated. If you dump it all in at once or in larger amounts, it clumps up. It takes me a good 3-5 minutes of sprinkling and whisking. Then wait the FULL 30 minutes. I set a timer. Make sure you stir it about every 5 minutes like it says.
Stir in the sugar the same way you did the pectin. If you dump too much at once it'll clump up a little. Stir it until the sugar is COMPLETELY dissolved. This can take 5-10 minutes. Make sure you stir with a rubber spatula, scraping the sides of the bowl, getting ALL sugar granules dissolved. If it doesn't dissolve, it'll crystalize and create a weird texture. I know it's done when I pull the rubber spatula out and the coating of jam is clear and I can't find one grain. I'll even taste it several times to make sure there's no "crunch" of sugar granules.
Then pour it into your containers. I usually buy the 1 cup Ziploc storage containers or the Ball twist top containers (these are my fave – both are pictured). It usually makes 7-8 cups of jam.
Then you leave them on the counter for 24 hours and then put them in the freezer…that's it!! Then you're set. I'm not going to lie, one batch lasts us about 8 months. Not bad if you ask me. And we eat A LOT of jam!! I also love having it to give to people. It's such an easy, no brainer gift – a loaf of homemade bread with this jam. I also like to give it to the missionaries every time they come over. I also add it to things like: cakes, my homemade cream cheese frosting to make a strawberry cream cheese frosting, vanilla buttercream, and of course sandwiches, homemade rolls and bread. Perfect. Now get your buns to the store and make some jam!!!

How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs Yourself
If you've had problems with bed bugs, you know how horrific it can be dealing with them. They live off human blood and bite you in your sleep and in the day you notice the bites when they turn red, swell up and itch. These pests are difficult to get rid of; they live in creases, cracks and crevices and spawn more bugs to attack you at night.
Needless to say, if you have them, you truly want to get rid of them.
Here are some tips and methods for getting rid of bed bugs permanently.
Treat, Bag and Wash all Bed Linens
The first thing you need to do is remove all the linens from your bed; take off the bed sheet, the comforter and pillow cases. You can then treat them with an insecticide or something poisonous to bed bugs. A good product is Bed Bug Powder which kills the bugs but is not harmful to humans. The stuff drains the insects causing them to dehydrate and die. It contains diatomaceous earth, which kills bugs by cutting into their exoskelotons and spilling their guts. You will need to seal linens in a plastic bag so the bugs stay in there to die.
It is important to wash all of the bedding in hot water and heat dry them on high temperature.
Treat the Mattress and Box Spring
You have to thoroughly vacuum the mattress and room, anywhere the bed bugs could be. Make sure to immediately throw away the vacuum bag outside in a dumpster or trash can so that no bed bugs come back out into your home.
Now you have to use the powder on the mattress and box spring. Make sure you get it into all the folds, creases and crevices where the bugs hide.
Then you will need to have a bed bug proof cover for your mattress that totally traps the bed bugs so they die from the powder and are trapped in the bag too. You don't want them to escape!
Also treat the box spring in all cracks and places where the insects can hide.
How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs
Bed Legs
Treat and bag and wash in hot water and heat dry on high
Vacuum, treat and put bed bug proof cover on it
Use bed bug interceptors and treat area around feet of bed
Treating Legs of Bed
Bed bugs could still crawl up the bed and get to you. So, you have to stop them before they get up or down the bed. You can purchase what are called Bed Bug Interceptors which are placed under the legs/feet of the bed and trap bed bugs as they crawl off the bed and stop them from climbing the bed too. As an added safety measure, also spray powder around the feet of the bed so that any bed bugs that might be left will die in an attempt to return to your bed.
Treat Other Areas and Furniture of Home
Empty out drawers and closets and treat clothes with powder and bag them and, again, wash them in hot water and heat dry them. Spray all crevices and creases of furniture and closet and you can also use silica gel on the walls and other areas; the gel has the same effect as the powder on the pests. If there are still bed bugs around, you don't want them to have a chance to invade your bed again.
If you think the pests are in other rooms, treat them as well, the same way. Remember to move furniture away from the walls so the insects can't climb up to areas to hide again.
How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs
So, there you have it. Being vigilant and thorough, you will be able to get rid of bed bugs permanently and naturally, using the diatomaceous earth powder which is not harmful to humans but kills bed bugs.
It is also important to keep your home nice and tidy and free of clutter so that bed bugs have no place to hide and to also keep everything clean and vacuumed.
Good luck in your battle against the bed bug pest!
very helpful simple steps but to people living in shanti houses like in slams it is a challenge to eradicate because they migrate from house to house
First off, thank you for the simple steps. Second I would like to know if you can put bed covers and everything back on as soon as you spray it down or if you have to wait do to so.
What is the product I get and where can I get it
Very thorough. Thanks for all the detailed instructions. I also like that the treatment is harmless to humans.
It is the utmost post I have ever read about bed bug control. This post is highly recommended.
When I saw the cockroach, I knew I hated bed bugs. With these non-toxin solutions, my dogs will be safe and the bedbugs will die, die, die....a part of me wants them to die a slow death...
This is excellent advice, as bedbugs are such a problem in many urban areas. it's good that you included non-toxic solutions. Voted up and shared.

Here is another Pintrest project completed and ready for some SUMMER FUN! I'm off from work for the summer and like to keep busy (I am not a homebody at all — never have been). I thought about doing this last summer, but it just never happened (with a new baby and all). This year the project is completed and we have already started checking off our list!
There are so many cute Summer to-do list projects out there on Pintrest. I had a hard time deciding which one I liked the best. I finally decided on the rainbow-themed one from Fingerprints on the Fridge. It was actually a much quicker project than I was anticipating.
This was actually a pretty cheap project to make, too, or I have a huge craft supply hoarding problem! I didn't have to buy one single item. I found a frame just the right size in our pile of pictures/art we aren't using. I just took out the old Eiffel Tower picture and Viola – re-purposed! I dug in my scrapbook paper stash and found every color of the rainbow (yes, I have a paper problem!).
Next, I cut several strips of the colored scrapbook papers. Random isn't easy for me, but it was kinda nice to not worry about straight lines and measuring. I love how it turned out, too! The only measuring I did was the width of the frame so each strip would fit into the frame.
I laid each strip slightly on top of the other right on top of the cardboard backing from the frame. I used scotch tape to tape the pieces together. Nothing fancy as you can see.
My absolute favorite part of this project was the downloadable "Happy Summer" graphic from The Rubber Punkin. I printed that off, cut it down and adhered it to the rainbow piece. Making the actual "to-do list" probably took the most time. I added things I knew we wanted to do and then looked at other lists online to create our list. I decided I wanted a really long list so I added little things like blow bubbles, get ice-cream and sidewalk chalk along with the bigger events.
To finish off the project, slip the rainbow strip piece into the frame and secure the back. Now use a Sharpie marker to write your Summer To-Do List right on the glass of the frame. I read somewhere that you can write in Sharpie and then clean it off with Windex when you are done (I think fingernail polish remover works as well). I like the Sharpie marker since it doesn't rub off when you look at the list and check things off.
This project has been really good for our family. Will is SO into it. Everyday he gets up and asks what we are going to do from our list. Here is a glimpse of a few things we've done on our list already. Looks like we'll be busy! Wishing everyone a wonderful start to SUMMER!!!

6 Tips for Flawless Wine Etiquette
A knowledge of fine wine is an arbiter of taste and sophistication, an easy plot device in books and films to demonstrate the protagonist's urbane epicurean credentials. In reality its just as essential for impressing your lovers, clients, and any potential fathers-in-law. Perhaps like the right school, a respectable golf handicap, or conversational French, wine appreciation should not be a necessary social skill - but it is. Get it right and you can effortlessly engage a room full of strangers into easy conversation: Get it wrong and you look as gauche as the inexperienced hostess who seats a dinner guest next to his long-established mistress.

I love Superbowl parties, it's always more about the food then the game anyways! Food placement is key at this type of party. The men are going to flock to the TV and the women will gather around the food, it's sad but so true!

In this blog you will find party tips and recipes that you can make in advance so you can be be a relaxed and ready to go at kickoff!

When Democracies Torture
Apr 2015

The Bone that Changed China
Apr 2015
The Famen Buddhist Temple (in what is now Shaanxi Province, in the People's Republic of China) has been an important center for Buddhism since it was built near the end of the Six Dynasties period (220-581 CE). The temple is particularly famed for housing a Buddhist religious relic, an alleged finger bone of the Buddha. The relic had the reputation of producing miraculous cures, and several times during the Tang dynasty (618-906) it was brought to the royal palace, in nearby Chang'an (present-day Xi'an), when the emperor or empress was ill. During one procession from Famen to Chang'an, tRead more

The Nature of Wilderness
Apr 2015
The 1964 Wilderness Act defines wilderness as an area where "the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man," which "retains its primeval character and influence, without permanent improvement or human habitation." I like that definition. I especially like the phrase "untrammeled by man." It's poetic and inspiring -- just like the wilderness itself. But it's not entirely accurate.Read more

More info about our plant sizes.
Please email us to confirm at-nursery availability of plants that are too big to ship.
Crinkled deep green leaves pack tightly on stiff, vertical, heavily textured woody stems. Deciduous, the deeply fissured bark and sculptural form is worthwhile and intriguing in winter. Its foamy white spring/summer flowers are beautiful against the much darker leaves and might be the only thing to give its identity away. This is a fun plant with which to stump the chumps. Quickly gratifying, it will shoot up with some halfway decent soil. 12 ft tall x 4 ft wide.
Minimum temperature: -20° F

They will kick off 2019 with a new Allman Betts Band album and a Worldwide tour that will feature new music, songs from their solo projects and classic Allman Brothers and Gregg Allman tunes in honor of the 50th Anniversary of The Allman Brothers Band. The new album, slated for release in the Spring of 2019, will be recorded at the legendary Muscle Shoals Sound Studios and will be produced by Matt Ross-Spang (Jason Isbell, Margo Price, John Prine and Elvis Presley). Former Allman Brothers Band keyboardist and current Rolling Stones keyboardist, Chuck Leveall, will guest on the record.
The new ABB includes Devon Allman, Duane Betts, Berry Oakley Jr. (son of original Allman Brothers Band bassist Berry Oakley) Peter Levin (Gregg Allman's keyboardist), Johnny Stachela (slide guitar) and Devon Allman Project percussionists R. Scott Bryan (Sheryl Crow) and John Lum.

In addition to the two decades with Rusted Root, Glabicki is exploring new sounds and opening new doors with his solo career, regularly touring as a duo with Rusted Root's guitar player, Dirk Miller. A multi-faceted musician, producer and songwriter, Glabicki's duo tour dates feature many Rusted Roots hits, stories and songs yet to be released.

There is nothing that tastes quite so good as a tomato fresh from the garden. They beat tomatoes from the grocers every time! The good news is that even if you're a city dweller with only a balcony, you can grow your own tomatoes. Let's talk about how to grow tomatoes in containers. Once you read this article, you'll definitely know enough to go out and get started. Here we go!
Let me start by saying that sometimes things happen to your tomatoes plants that you just can't control. Those things include bad weather, problems with critters, and disease. But there are certainly things you can do to increase your chances of growing a successful tomato container garden.
- The best thing you can do is plant your tomatoes in a container large enough for them–and the larger, the better! A good rule of thumb is to use a pot comparable in size to a 5-gallon bucket. Tomato plants like a lot of room to spread out, and if the plant feels inhibited it won't grow as well.
- Make sure your chosen pot is not only large enough, but has good drainage.
- Purchase a good quality soil to fill the pot. It should be labeled "potting soil." If it has added fertilizer, that's okay. If not, we'll talk about fertilizing your tomatoes in a minute.
- Water your tomatoes every day! But I don't mean that you should keep the soil wet–just moist. Too much water will lead to root rot. Consistent, daily watering seems to work best for tomato plants, especially during the hottest months of the summer. If it's hot and windy, that usually means an extra watering. In those conditions, check your tomatoes day and night and water if the soil is dry. If you hit a rainy period, check the tomatoes for too much water, and pull them under cover if needed.
- Tomatoes do need fertilizer, especially if you used regular potting soil with no added fertilizer. Use a slow-release fertilizer that is marked for vegetable plants. Just follow package directions for how and when to apply.
- Full sun is a necessity for tomatoes. Pick a spot for your pots where the plants will receive at least 6 hours of full sun per day. If you have a spot with 8 hours of full sun, that's even better.
- Choose a variety with good grower ratings, and when you plant your tomato seedlings be sure to plant them deep. Cover up the stem and first set of leaves, leaving only the topmost sets of leaves uncovered. This encourages the best root growth and the hardiest plants.
Good luck and enjoy your delicious, home grown tomatoes!

According to reports from 1up, Nintendo revealed at their annual Fall Conference in Japan this week that Mario Kart on the Wii is going to support up to 12 player games online. So far, no other Wii game has boasted 12 players online in a single match-up, and hints at a streamlined matchmaking system only raise the anticipation levels for the online game.
Good news. I think the upcoming MoH is supposed to have 32-player online matches as well.
12 players are freaking awsome >_< if snaking is included it will be one helle of a crazy mtach each time you play online.
12 freaking awsome

Hazardous Waste & Recyclable Materials
Aaron's experience in hazardous waste regulatory issues tracks from the beginning of the U.S. federal regulatory program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) in 1980 to today.
Over the years, Aaron has prepared comments for clients on virtually every major RCRA rulemaking, as well as on many related hazardous waste rulemakings at the state level and outside the U.S. On behalf of a large retail industry trade association, Aaron argued for and helped convince the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) not to adopt a proposed recordkeeping requirement for non-hazardous wastes that would have cost the industry hundreds of millions of dollars each year, and to move forward with two proposals to reduce the hazardous waste requirements for nicotine replacement therapies and aerosol cans in ways that can save the industry similar amounts.
Agency Rulemaking Challenges
Aaron played a key role in successful court challenges to major elements of EPA's definition of hazardous waste, including: the "mixture" and "derived-from" rules; several hazardous waste listings; and the toxicity characteristic as it applies to mineral processing wastes. He was also instrumental in blocking efforts by a national environmental organization to overturn a state's interpretation of its regulations which would have classified most municipal wastewater treatment sludge in the state as hazardous wastes.
Enforcement Action Defense
Aaron negotiated a 90 percent reduction in penalties in a multimillion-dollar enforcement action involving air emissions and process residuals at a cement plant that burned hazardous wastes as fuel. In another case, he obtained a highly favorable settlement in a path-breaking enforcement case against a U.S. government complex that raised novel constitutional and homeland security issues.
Regulatory Counseling
Across a wide range of industries, Aaron has analyzed the regulatory status of countless materials under federal and state definitions of solid and hazardous wastes. He helps companies understand and comply with the regulatory requirements applicable to hazardous wastes and in many cases identifies exemptions that enable them to minimize regulatory burdens. He has worked on these issues in all 50 states, with particular emphasis on the unique rules in California.
Foreign and International Transboundary Waste Issues
Aaron has worked on hazardous waste issues on all seven continents (including Antarctica), and has developed a working knowledge of the relevant rules in the European Union and over 30 other countries. He frequently assists clients in determining how to ship recyclable materials between countries in accordance with the requirements of the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal, and corresponding national rules and regional agreements.

It's a complete protein, and is high in calcium, iron, and fiber. And it's gluten free, so it's great for people with gluten allergies. Don't listen to the rumors it tastes like mud. Unwashed quinoa is a bit muddy tasting, but majority of the quinoa sold in stores is washed so don't worry about it. I think it tastes like any other grain, like rice or wheat. I like it because it has a soft texture.
I came up with this recipe by myself. Every time I Skype with Leslie, she asks me for a simple quinoa dish and this is what kept coming to mind. Once again, all my veggies came from the Hilo Farmers Market and were very cheap. The veggies, including the garlic and onion, are raw in this dish. Raw veggies hold more of their nutrients and although I am not really into the whole raw food diet, it is still important to eat raw veggies often. Raw garlic is amazing for your digestion, just eat it in small dozes so it isn't overwhelming. I use canned beans because even I think soaking dried beans is a pain.
Funny story how I got my quinoa. I drove to Kona last weekend to have some nice beach time before finals and met some nice tourists. They rented a timeshare so they cooked some of their meals. They were leaving that day and offered to give me their unopened stuff. Score for a broke college kid! Thanks Jason and Rick!
Quinoa with Cucumber and Cilantro Salad
1 cup quinoa
2 cups water
1 large cucumber
1 large tomato
1 can of red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 medium onion
1 clove of garlic
1/2 cup fresh cilantro
1 tbs lime juice
1 tbs olive oil
Red pepper flakes, to taste
Salt and pepper, to taste
Add the quinoa and water to a pot, and bring to a boil. Then cover and reduce to a simmer.
|They must be Duck fans, they yell "O," ha!
|I add a lot of red pepper because I like it hot.
Chop the cucumber and tomato into bit-sized pieces. Finely chop the onion and garlic. Remove the cilantro leafs from the steam and chop if you desire (I left mine whole, they aren't that big). Drain and rinse the kidney beans. Add everything to a large bowl and mix.
|Although it's good fat, it's still fat so don't over do it with the oil.
You can mix the quinoa in with the veggies or just serve the salad on top. I just topped mine. I am so glad I finally made this, I've been thinking about it for awhile.
|Clean, crispy, but very filling.


text: Automation or automatic control is the use of various control systems for operating equipments, such as machinery, processes in industries and other applications with minimal or reduced human intervention. Industrial automation can be achieved by several different means, including mechanical, electrical, electronic, hydraulic, pneumatic, and computers. Here, the authors have implemented Industrial IoT system that allows a single industry operator to control industry appliances with ease using Raspberry Pi 3B. The primary drive for automation using Internet of Things (IoT) is to significantly reduce operating expenditures when sensors and actuators become Internet-enabled devices. The proposed system allows for automation of industrial loads based on continuous monitoring of temperature, pressure, and presence of volatile gas in industrial environment to achieve automation over internet. Here, TruVnc Mobile app is used for monitoring the industrial parameters. User is allowed to control machine/load switching over internet using PubNub interface from anywhere in the world over internet. The Raspberry pi 3 model B processor captures these commands (Controlling signals) by internet and processes the received data to extract user commands. After receiving Sensor data it displays it on a monitor. Also it enables to switch the loads ON/OFF based on received commands to achieve user desired output. Thus Internet of Things (IoT) help in increasing output and automating processes across a lot of industries.
