Cannabidiol (CBD) is derived from the hemp plant and is not psychoactive like THC; so one will not get "high".
Hemp is considered an adaptogen: a plant that helps the body cope with the damaging effects of stress and promotes normal and even optimal functioning.
Adaptogens can exert an effect on the body to help identify deficiency or dysfunction and can help restore balance. They are an invaluable tool for assisting health and wellness not only when conditions are known, but also when a condition is unknown.
CBD Oil is commonly used to aid in pain management.
It is important to know that CBD oil is not treating your pain; it is making it easier to handle. Continue to observe your injuries while you are managing your pain.
CBD Oil 1000mg 1 oz
Contains: 1000 mg of Cannabidiol suspended in MCT oil. Peppermint flavored. 1 oz
Cannabidiol (CBD) is an active component found in hemp and is known for it's wide scope of benefits.
Made in the USA.
A full spectrum CBD with over 120 phytocannabinnoids resulting from the use of the whole plant.
Contains trace amounts of THC.
Contains less than .3% THC
Lab reports available upon request.
Oral Consumption of Oil:
Apply drops under tongue and allow to absorb for 30 to 60 seconds before swallowing. Avoid eating or drinking for 15 minutes.
Serving Suggestion:
Everyone's dosage is different. To find your optimum dose, take the time to follow this protocol: start with .25 milliliter(mL) of oil. Place it under the tongue and hold for 30 to 60 seconds. Wait 20-30 minutes and do a mental check. If you are not feeling improvement, take another dose of .25mL and repeat the process. Continue in this manner until you reach the desired results. Once you find the total mLs required to ease discomfort, that total is your optimum dose.
Excessive dosing can result in drowsiness, which may be a positive if you have trouble sleeping.

Katyń, renowned Polish director Andrzej Wajda's film about the massacre of over 20,000 Polish officers in the Soviet Union in 1940, will be screened in Moscow today through Wednesday for select audiences including artists, members of the opposition and VIPs, according to Polish Radio's external service (www.theeews.pl).
Wajda has said repeatedly he does not consider the film to be directed against Russia, but is an effort to confront the truth about one of the dark spots in Polish history.
Speaking at a meeting with students in Krakow, he said, "It was my intention to show the Bolshevik, communist, Stalinist system," according to thenews.pl.
Katyń was nominated for an Oscar in the Best Foreign-language Film category and has been a smashing success domestically, attracting about 3 million people since its premiere in September 2007.

You may have heard that the new tax reform law eliminates tax deductions for un-reimbursed employee business expenses beginning in 2018 (the taxes you file in 2019). If you own your own business, however, you can still deduct business expenses in 2018.
So what high-tech toys (oops, excuse me, necessary work-related devices) can you deduct? Here are the rules.
Cell phone. If you use your cell phone exclusively for business, then the cost of the phone equipment and the cost of the monthly service are both tax deductible. If you use the phone partly for business, well – you can do the math. Use it 50% for business and 50% for personal, you can deduct half of the costs.
Computers, laptops, notebooks, tablets. Your business expenses must be necessary, customary and reasonable, according to the IRS. That means that you have to have a business use for your computer or iPad. If you work in the computer industry, this is a no-brainer, but if you are a hairdresser, be prepared to show that you need the device for ordering supplies, keeping track of receipts and expenses, etc. If that use requires you to be connected to the internet, then the cost of connectivity will also be deductible, but if your kids use the same device to do their homework and play video games (or you do), then only the business portion of the costs will be deductible.
Internet usage. If you work while on airplanes or in hotels, and you pay for internet connectivity in the air or at the place of lodging, that cost is tax deductible if it is related to business activities.
Software. Here's the bad news first: the latest gaming software doesn't qualify for a deduction unless you are in the gaming industry and need it for work. But if you buy Quickbooks Self-Employed to keep track of your business income and expenses and TurboTax to prepare your self-employed tax return, those expenses will probably qualify. It is likely that the standard office suite programs for word processing and spreadsheets will as well. Of course, if the software has both business and personal usage, you may not be able to deduct the full cost.
Now or later? You can deduct the full amount of the gadget in the year it was acquired under IRC Sec. 179, or you can amortize it over a number of years (generally 5 – 7 years), deducting a fraction of the cost each year. Most people opt to deduct it all at once.
Under the new tax reform law, you can deduct up to $1,000,000 for qualified business equipment, up from the 2017 Section 179 amount of $510,000. Examples of qualified business equipment are computers, computer software, office furniture, and equipment. Six-passenger SUVs less than 14,000 lbs used for business may qualify for up to a $25,000 deduction.
Don't worry about knowing about these tax deductions when you file. You can use QuickBooks Self-Employed to easily track your business income and expenses year-round and then export your information directly to TurboTax Self-Employed to make filing your taxes easy at tax-time.

I write these descriptions as fast as I can when the video is uploading and I had a glitch in making the GORGEOUS custom thumbnail, so I'm hauling ass on this one. 20% left. I had a fried chicken sandwich for lunch that was great going down and for some reason left my mouth tasting like asshole, so I'm trying to wash it away with kale juice, which is a grosser combo, especially since I'm eating a lemon meringue pie at the same time that's as big as my head. Seriously, it is, check my Twitter, it's large and I'm feeling sicker with each bite, but I can't stop eating because it makes the ass taste go away when I chew. Temporarily. This is SO much better than going to brush my teeth. Did anyone watch Penny Dreadful already? I am doing it tonight, and all I want to see is Eva Green in pretty dresses, but from the show description I think there's murder going along with the wardrobe too. I don't like scary movies, in fact, I don't think I've ever seen one all the way through, except for arty ones like Guillermo Del Toro ones, that guy I'll watch any kind of murder for. Oh crap, 5% gotta wrap it up! Word of the week...uh...."wanion". A great misfortune. I bet it's used in Penny Dreadful, because it's a period piece. 'It was a great wanion that Felicia decided to eat an ass chicken sandwich, especially for the guests at her evening BBQ." crap..1 per....c.e.nt...postedddddddd

text: It's in the best interest of every digital marketing agency, marketing manager or small business owner to ensure customers are actively engaged on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other social networks. This is the key to increasing retention rates, conversions and having control of the information that is being passed on to others. With that in mind let's looks at how to get more personal customer engagement on social media. What is Engagement? Before we get down to highlighting the specific outreach strategies let's first define what engagement on social media entails. Engagement is an interaction through social media platforms. This can be in the form of; Likes which signify a minor engagement from your followers or friends Comments which is an indication that your post is interesting enough to elicit a deeper reaction. Shares which indicate that your content is powerful and is worth reaching a much bigger audience. Apart from these, your post could be a call to action. For such, the engagement you would be after is for people to buy products, RSVP attendance or seek out your services. Whichever reaction you are going for, there are ways to achieve this: Humanize Your Accounts The focus of your social media campaigns should be more on your workforce than technology. The reasoning behind this is that its people who drive relationships and not technology. With that in mind, companies should empower their workers or a single person who is passionate and a good communicator to be behind social media accounts. Customers will feel comfortable talking or replying to an actual human being than a company name without a face. Such a person will make a brand more human and relatable. Strategize on how the personality will increase their reach and visibility; this can be through blogging, hosting webinars, or creating video content for your website. Be Active in Several Channels Engagement calls for availability on the channels that your customers are likely to frequent. That being said, there are some social media tools that create closer relationships than the rest. Google+ Circles: By creating Circles that are relevant to your industry, you can add customers and monitor what they are posting or talking about. This will make it easier to reach specific individuals who may have queries or whose input could be beneficial. Google Communities: Create or join communities in line with your industry. Be part of the discussion and showcase your expertise to members and prospective customers. Google Hangouts: With hangouts, you can video-conference with up to 9 of your customers at a go. You can also upload a Google Doc with the group, watch a YouTube video together and text chat at the same time, and lastly create a group whiteboard presentation. How's that for personal engagement? LinkedIn Groups: Open company pages on LinkedIn, this comes with the added advantage of featuring up to 3 groups per page; with this, you get to increase the chances of reaching and engaging with many customers. Use Conversational Hashtags Customers want to be involved in interesting or trending discussions. This can be made possible by using the right hashtags. Not only will this make it easy for customers to follow your content but using hashtags can double engagement rates . Apart from Twitter, you can now use hashtags on Facebook, Pinterest and many other social media platforms like Instagram. To ensure that you are creating the right conversation, use tools like Twitonomy and Hashtagify to analyze the popularity, trends, and correlations of any hashtag. Pay Attention to Negative Comments and Reviews Customer engagement is only meaningful if you get to address both the good and the bad that comes with being in business. Companies that ignore bad comments on social media sites may end up losing followers, having their products boycotted or have the experience shared with others. Reaching out to such customers will bring you out as a caring brand. If their queries are solved, these 'bad reviewers' can actually end up being your most loyal customers and even online brand advocates. The Take-Away A point to remember is that social media is not about you but other people. Posting too much information about your company will definitely bore most of your followers. Instead, break serious content with interesting and funny takes on processes, products, and company - employees' relationships. Author's Bio: Catherine Park is a connector with Caffeinated who help businesses find their audience online. She loves working in the ever-changing world of digital and is fascinated by the role content plays in today's marketing.

MEDFORD – The Tufts University baseball team scored twice on a Bowdoin error during a bunt in the bottom of the ninth to take a 7-6 walk-off win over the Polar Bears in the opener of a three-game NESCAC East series on Saturday afternoon at Huskins Field.
|Kyle Cortese had three hits and scored the game-winning run.
With the game tied 5-5 heading into the ninth, Bowdoin scored after two were out in the top of the inning. Junior SS Eric Mah doubled to left-center and scored on a pinch-hit single by freshman Chris Attisani for a 6-5 Polar Bear lead.
Bowdoin would commit two errors on bunts in the bottom of the ninth leading to the Jumbo win. Tufts freshman 1B Peter DeMaria led off with a walk and pinch-runner Miles Reid went to second on Bowdoin's first error during a sacrifice attempt by Tufts sophomore DH Kyle Cortese. When Tufts junior 3B JP Knight followed with another bunt to the left side, the throw sailed over first base down the right-field line scoring both Reid and Cortese.
Tufts had trailed 5-3 entering the bottom of the seventh and scored twice on one hit, two walks and two hit-by-pitches. After loading the bases, the first run scored when Cortese was hit by a pitch. The tying run came home when junior RF Ryan Day walked. The Jumbos left the bases loaded as Bowdoin junior Colby Lewis got a fly-ball out to end the inning.
The Polar Bears took their 5-3 lead by scoring four times in the fifth. Freshman LF Austin Zakow doubled home a run, sophomore RF James McCarthy hit a two-run double and Mah brought home a run with a ground out.
Bowdoin led 1-0 in the top of the second when senior Jack Wilhoite singled, stole second and eventually scored on a walk by Mah. Tufts tied it in the bottom of the inning as Cortese led off with a single to center and scored on a balk.
Tufts added two in the third to lead 3-1. They hit four consecutive singles in the inning, with senior LF Casey Santos-Ocampo, DeMaria and Cortese (rbi) producing the first run. Another single by Knight and a double-play ball brought in the second run.
Cortese finished 3 for 3 with two rbis and two runs for Tufts (16-5, 3-1 NESCAC East). Santos-Ocampo went 2 for 3 with a run. Freshman reliever Michael Volgende earned his third win for Tufts. He entered and struck out a Bowdoin batter with runners on first and second to end the top of the eighth.
Mah was 2 for 5 with two rbis and a run atop the Bowdoin batting order. Wilhoite finished 2 for 3 with two runs and freshman CF Gavin Cann also had two hits. Junior pitcher Seamus Keenan was a hard-luck loser for Bowdoin (3-15-1, 3-4 NESCAC East).
The teams will play a double-header on Sunday starting at noon.

Top tidal players win awards at ITES 2016
Five tidal energy players have been awarded for their efforts in advancing the tidal energy sector at the International Tidal Energy Summit (ITES) 2016 last night.
Over 150 people attended the ITES Awards Dinner last night, November 23, in London, where several top tidal energy players received recognition for their contribution to the development of tidal energy sector.
Scotrenewables Tidal Power won the 'Best Grid Connected Prototype' award for its commercial-scale floating tidal turbine, the SR2000.
Andrew Scott, Scotrenewables' CEO, said: "On behalf of the whole team I'm delighted with this recognition. The SR2000 has been a leap forward for the technology and presented a huge challenge for the team, and it's a measure to them individually and collectively that we're on the road to demonstrating some of the clear advantages our technology brings to the tidal sector at full scale."
Minesto scooped the award for the 'Most Promising Turbine Concept' for its Deep Green technology.
Martin Edlund, CEO of Minesto, said: "We are very pleased and proud to receive the award as the industry's most promising technology. Not least because there is an international audience, consisting of the industry's own players, as this shows that they see both the viability and potential of our unique technology."
The award recognizing the 'Most Valuable Consultant' was given to Marine Energy Wales, the newly established Welsh marine industry body stemming from Marine Energy Pembrokeshire (MEP).
David Jones, Director of MEP, said: "We are delighted that MEP's work has been recognised on an International level. Since developing Marine Energy Pembrokeshire in 2009 we have witnessed interest in Wales grow substantially. We are committed to continuing with our collaborative approach, supporting the development of Wales' Demonstration Zones and encouraging the continued growth of the sector."
Sustainable Marine Energy won in the category of the 'Most Promising New Tool', while Green Marine took home the award for 'Excellence in Project Support'.
ITES 2016 is taking place in London, from November 22-23, 2016.

A nonprofit group's apparent interest in potentially building a 13,000-seat soccer stadium on land near the junction of I-495 and Rte. 9 in Southborough was well-received by residents and visitors who spoke to the Daily News on Saturday.
SOUTHBOROUGH — Residents and visitors to MetroWest Saturday expressed excitement over news that a nonprofit group that advocates for sports for women is eyeing a parcel of land near the junction of Interstate 495 and Rte. 9 for a 13,000-seat soccer stadium and sports complex.
Paul Mumby, coach of the Westborough High School girls soccer team, was thrilled to hear about the potential development after reading Saturday's Daily News story, saying "it's a shame" that the Boston Breakers, a National Women's Soccer League, folded in January 2018.
"I'm a big advocate for girls soccer, and to potentially have something like that being built here would be phenomenal, especially so close," said Mumby, who is from England and has coached soccer for 20 years. He has two daughters, ages 13 and 16, and said the location is "a prime spot" for such a facility.
"I'm pretty excited about it, and I hope it comes to fruition," he said.
Paige Peck, of Framingham, was eating breakfast Saturday morning at Mauro's Village Cafe in downtown Southborough.
"I love that idea," she said. "I think it would be great if it was also accessible to young girls, too, because I do think that the local Framingham area doesn't have enough sports facilities for kids. We often have to go to Northborough or Acton."
Other nearby sports complexes in MetroWest region include the New England Baseball Complex in Northborough and the New England Sports Center, an ice rink facility in Marlborough. But even those would pale in comparison to the sheer size of the concept for which Southborough is eyed.
"We don't have a big center in this area and this is such a huge area," said Peck. "It kind of surprises me that we don't have more facilities like that close by."
"I think it's a great idea, especially if it's all-inclusive and includes other functionalities, like the wellness center," added Spence Roberts, of Brooklyn, N.Y. who was also eating at Mauro's.
Sports for Women, a Newton-based nonprofit, is eyeing the 445-acre parcel that is owned by Dell EMC and straddles the Southborough-Westborough line as a potential destination to build its first campus dedicated to women's sports. According to its website, the organization hopes to eventually have 11 such facilities throughout the country.
Anna Siedzik, the organization's chief engagement officer, cautioned that Sports for Women has spoken with several municipalities, noting that "some are in Central Mass. Some are not."
The concept includes a stadium to host professional and semi-professional soccer games, primarily for women, and would include a wellness center, educational classrooms, public art and performance spaces, indoor training and lockers and adjacent competition/training fields.
Sports for Women met last week with Southborough officials, including Town Administrator Mark Purple, selectmen Chairwoman Lisa Braccio and Economic Development Committee Chairwoman Julie Connelly. None of them could be reached for comment on Friday.
Adrienne Evin, an Easton resident with a 15-year-old daughter who plays soccer with Global Premier Soccer Massachusetts, said a Southborough facility would be a bit too far for them to travel to regularly, but she said her daughter could potentially benefit in the future as an aspiring college athlete.
"I think it's a great idea, though, and it would be great to have a facility like that around here," said Evin, as she watched her daughter practice at Fore Kicks Sports Complex in Marlborough, which is a 45-minute drive for her family.
Milford resident Heather Korpi, a mother of two young soccer players who was watching her son play at Fore Kicks on Saturday, said the proposed complex is "a good idea," but residents may have an issue with it because of its size.
Siana Benne, a Northborough resident who works as a barista at Red Barn Coffee Roasters at 205 Turnpike Road (Rte. 9) in Southborough, agreed it would be "a wonderful idea, especially to create a space for women and girls that isn't just Curves."
The proposed campus would aim to support players of all ages and abilities, including weekend recreational clubs, youth and college athletes, athletes with disabilities and seniors, and will fund an annual scholarship program to award college scholarships to applicants from all six New England states, according to the Sports for Women website. The space could even support international exhibition games and qualifying tournaments.
The nonprofit would plan to eventually make way for other sports at the site, including field hockey, lacrosse, softball, volleyball and track and field.
Kate Painter, founder and CEO of New England Sports for Women, created the group last May after the Breakers disbanded just months prior. She said that from that "initial heartbreak" arose "inspiration to create something new in women's sports: a community-driven organization with the programming and facility to benefit and inspire female athletes from New England and across the country," according to the organization's website.

Apple's event today, which brought us both a new MacBook and release information for the Apple Watch, may be the bookend that marks the conclusion of our heady week of MWC action, but just because we're settling back to post-expo life doesn't mean we're quite done sharing everything from the conference with you. Over the weekend we published a few more videos of things we got to take a look at in Barcelona, and now we'd like to draw your attention to a couple of those, starting with the Runcible smart… thingy.
At least, the Runcible isn't a smartphone nor a wearable, but its own breed of connected gadget. The Firefox OS-based medallion packs a camera and has a 4G-capable cellular radio, but it sure doesn't look much like any Firefox OS phone with which we're already familiar.
Software was still in an early development state when we got to play with the Runcible, but it was clear to see some of manufacturer Monohm's vision for how it intends us to interact with its product, supporting extensive touch controls and offering some interesting takes on a notification UI.
Runcible will charge wirelessly and support a number of official ad-ons via its hardware expansion port. Full release details will have to wait for its commercial debut later this year, but it sounds like pricing could be a little on the expensive side, with Monohm drawing comparisons to what you might pay for a high-end smartphone.

"But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?"
King James Version (KJV)
5:3 To lie to the Holy Ghost - Who is in us. And to keep back - Here was the first instance of it. This was the first attempt to bring propriety of goods into the Christian Church.
Ac 5:3,4 To lie to the Holy Spirit. The sin is here pointed out. The lie was not to men, but to God. The apostles were moved by the Holy Spirit. These verses show clearly that (1) the sin was hypocrisy and deception in the name of religion, and (2) that the gifts of goods were purely voluntary.

As you all know, I launched the Day in the Life podcast in October of 2017, but really, I had been planning this podcast for months. The idea came to me in early 2017 but it took me until October to actually launch the dang thing.
In full disclosure, I didn't spend January – October feverishly working on the podcast. I thought of the concept of the idea first, let it simmer for a while in my brain, and then really started to take action in May.
I wanted to document my experience and what it was really like to launch a brand new podcast. Everyone has different experiences, but I wanted to share my own in case any of you were interested in learning more about the process and for any out there who wants to start a podcast but doesn't know where to start.
Again, this was my own personal experience, in no way is this me saying YOU MUST DO ALL OF THESE THINGS because I'm still learning what it takes to maintain and market a great podcast.
So, here we go. Below is a detailed description of what it's like to launch a new podcast. The good, the bad, the funny!
What It's Really Like To Launch A New Podcast: The Good, The Bad, The Funny
How I Started
First and foremost, the number one thing I had to do before I got started was I had to get over the fear.
I had a lot of self-limiting beliefs on launching a podcast.
Who am I to launch a podcast? I know nothing about launching a podcast. Who will want to hear me speak? Won't people be annoyed by my voice? I'm not interesting enough for people to want to listen to. Nobody else will care about the topic.
These were all thoughts that went through my head and ultimately, I had to listen to my gut.
The fact of the matter is, I had a higher purpose for launching the Day in the Life podcast.
With everything that's going on in our world, it was important for me to launch a podcast that could help bring people together.
I wanted to interview people that looked different than me, that had different backgrounds and experiences. That looked at the world differently than I do.
And hopefully, in sharing a variety of people's days, we could all find common ground and realize we're all more alike than we probably realize.
We all have fears, ambitions, struggles, and successes.
We go through amazing life experiences and also sucky life experiences.
There are good days, there are bad days.
In the end, we're all just…humans trying to make an impact in the world.In the end, we're all just...humans trying to make an impact in the world. @BrittneyLLynn shares why she created the Day in the Life podcast Click To Tweet
I definitely had to be in the right mindset before launching otherwise I wouldn't produce the best podcast I possibly could.
Other than getting over the fear, I do a few things that got me a jump start on launching the podcast.
Tips for getting started
- I bulk recorded episodes: I recorded about 10 episodes before I launched the podcast. Not everyone does this but I knew I wanted to have enough recorded ahead of time so I wasn't stressing about finding a guest and recording a new episode each week.
- I started talking about it with people: I talked about the podcast to anyone that would listen. Seriously. My family, friends, person walking down the street. Anyone. Okay, I'm slightly exaggerating about telling randos on the street about the podcast but I wanted to get the word out there about the podcast. I think this contributed to a successful launch day because people had been following my journey on launching the podcast so they were super excited once it launched.
- I pitched a bunch of people: I remember the day I made my first list of people to pitch to be a guest on the podcast. My husband and I were driving to San Antonio for my birthday and we brainstormed all of the cool people in our lives and who I should interview. Once I had this list, I create a pseudo-email template (kind of like my podcast pitch template) where I'd pitch them the idea of the podcast and if they'd like to be interviewed. This was helpful because at the time, people couldn't listen to an episode to have a clear understanding of the podcast, so I needed to be able to explain it so people knew what to expect. Creating a template helped me minimize the time I was spending, but I could also make each email personal.
How I Set Up For A Recording
I did quite a bit of research before purchasing any equipment for the podcast. No one has ever accused me of being tech savvy, so I was starting from complete scratch.
I looked at podcasters I've admired and the tools that they recommend to get a head start. Pat Flynn's podcasting tutorial was the most helpful for me.
To record each episode, I have a routine that I follow to ensure each episode is recorded the same. I shared a video of how I set up for each episode in the podcast Facebook group if you're interested in seeing how it's set up.
Here's my routine before recording:
- Put my phone in airplane mode & do not disturb: Though I record on my computer, I don't want my phone buzzing with notifications while I'm recording.
- Turn off notifications on my computer & put on do not disturb: Same thing with my computer. I don't want to be getting 7 zillion Slack messages while I record, so I turn off any notifications to ensure our recording won't be disrupted.
- Take my dog's collar off (ha): Learned this the hard way as my dog started scratching is ears right next to my desk while I was recording.
- Open up two versions of my outline of questions: I have an outline of questions I follow for each interview. I like to have two versions of the document open, one to have on each screen.
- Open up Skype and make sure Ecamm opens: I record on Skype (more on tools below) and I make sure Ecamm (which helps me record the call) opens and is working properly.
Tools I Used
This is the list of tools I use to record podcasts or keep things organized. This is up-to-date as of January 2018.
- Skype (free): I like being able to video chat with guests so the interview feels more authentic.
- Ecamm for Skype ($29.99 one-time fee): This allows me to record the Skype call.
- Acuity Scheduling ($10/month): This is the link I send people to once I'm ready to schedule a time to chat. This saves me SO much time and gives guests all of the information they need to record. This tool also sends reminder emails so I don't have to remember to 🙂
- Boomerang for Gmail (free): Sometimes I like to write emails on the weekends but I don't want to send out emails on the weekends, ya know what I mean? Boomerang allows me to schedule emails to go out for the future as well as "boomerang" back emails that I've sent but haven't been responded to.
- Canned responses for Gmail (free): If you don't have this turned on in Gmail ARE YOU CRAZY?! This is one of my favorite features of Gmail where you can save email templates for emails you send often (don't we all send like, the same 10 email responses all the time?).
- Microphone ($108.19): I use the Blue Yeti microphone. From my research, this was a middle of the road microphone to use. I'm sure I'll eventually upgrade but it works perfectly for me right now!
- Foam cover ($12.95): This helps drown out noises coming from all angles of the microphone.
- Headphones – AKG K 44 ($48.99): I bought these headphones on Amazon. They feel comfortable on my ears and fit my oddly large head (hahaha).
- Logitech Camera – C920 ($59.86): This wasn't absolutely necessary, but I wanted an update camera as my computer is older.
- GSuite ($10.00/month): Google Drive is where I keep any outlines for episodes as well as social media and website graphics. My team members have access to these which cuts down on emails.
- Thunderclap ($55 one-time fee): I used Thunderclap to spread the message about the podcast on launch day. This was 100% worth the $55 (there is a free version) and would highly recommend using this tool for future launches.
- Libsyn ($30/month): This is where my podcast editor uploads the episodes to distribute to all of the different feeds. This is also where you can see your stats (aka downloads per episode because nobody knows how many subscribers they have). The amount you pay will depend on how long your episodes are and how much space they take up.
- Asana (free): Omg, would NOT be able to keep track of all of the to-dos for the podcast if it weren't for Asana. This is where my team and I communicate back and forth about the podcast episodes, what's done/not done, etc.
- Planoly ($9/month): I was using the free version of this for a while, but now I upgraded to the paid version to be able to upload episode promo graphics to Instagram ahead of time. You can follow the Day in the Life podcast Instagram account here.
People I've Outsourced To
If you don't know me well, you may not know that I can be stubborn at times. Yes, I admit it. And sometimes my stubbornness can get in my own way.
Though I technically can do all of these tasks on my own, that was not going to be the best use of my time and I'm definitely not the expert of any of these below. I'm so grateful to have these three women helping me with the podcast and I couldn't do it without them!
- Graphic Designer | Kimberly Weber: She created the Day in the Life logo, album artwork, social media graphics, and more.
- Audio Editor | Caroline Hull: She edits the episodes, created the trailer, helps with the backend of Libsyn and more.
The Good, The Bad, Funny
Alright, here's where we get to the nitty-gritty stuff of what it's like to launch a podcast.
The Good
- The systems I set up: I've had so many people compliment me on how it's super easy to schedule a time and much of my process is automated which is amazing for me. Definitely using Acuity, Asana, and Boomerang help with this.
- I was already connected to all of the people I pitched, so I got 99.9% yeses. Because of the nature of my podcast, I could interview almost anyone. Thankfully, I have a lot of amazing, incredible people in my life that would be perfect guests for my podcast. They were excited to say yes because I already had a relationship with them.
- I talked about the podcast so much leading up to launch day. SO MUCH. Guys, I think I talked about it for at least 6 months straight before launching. People were really excited to finally hear it once it came out, which I know helped on launch day.
- Thunderclap: This was one of the best tools and was recommended to me from my mastermind buddy Andrew Brockenbush from Beefy Marketing (also podcast guest 008).
The Bad
- My DOG. I hate putting my precious pup in the bad category because um, hello, I'm obsessed with him and think he's perfect, but UGH, the barking. Once we're in a house I'm hoping this won't be a problem anymore. #Apartmentlivingprobs
- I didn't figure out how to work the microphone until well into recording episodes. BRITT. What were you thinking?! Again, no one has ever accused me of being tech savvy and reading instructions to me is bo-ring, but I didn't even realize I could mute until like, the 8th episode. 😳
- Critiquing myself: Once episodes started to air, I really started to critique myself. I say "like" "so" and "you know" way too much. While I'm guilty of being too critical of myself, it is a lesson in public speaking and helping me pay more attention to the words that I say.
The Funny
- My first episode I was SO nervous. Like, it took me a good 10 minutes to actually get into it. In fact, the bit at the very end of the trailer for the podcast (you gotta check it out if you haven't yet) was from the first episode I recorded and my guest (Kali Rogers) convinced me to use it in some sort of way.
- Podcasting is weird because no one truly knows how many subscribers they have. Seriously, no one. Come launch day, I really had no expectations to reach a certain number of downloads, ratings, or reviews, because the Apple Podcasts charts are so elusive. They use a combination of subscribers, downloads, ratings, and reviews to rank you in the charts…but to what degree? No clue. It was funny to me because I obsessively refreshed my Libsyn screen, but I really had no expectations other than hoping the numbers would continue to increase, and they did!
How You Can Help Me Spread The Word
Like I mentioned above, the more people that listen to the podcast, the higher the podcast ranks on the charts.
Ranking higher on the charts means the podcast can reach more people. Reaching more people means I'll be able to continue interviewing high-quality guests.
Ranking in the charts means a better chance at monetizing the podcast too. To be blunt, the podcast is not making money right now. Which is totally cool! I knew going into this that it was going to be a passion project that I poured my heart into.
I do invest money into the podcast (you can scroll up and see my expenses). I'd love to get to the point to at least bring in enough money to cover my expenses.
So…that was a long-winded way to say, here's how you can support the Day in the Life podcast (or really any podcast you love!):
- Subscribe on iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play, Spotify…should be available on any podcast app!
- Leave a rating and an honest review on iTunes. The ratings and reviews help for two reasons: 1) Most importantly, I get to know you, the listener, and what content you enjoy the most. 2) The more reviews the podcast has, the better chance it has at getting in front of new listeners.
- Follow on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. Use the hashtag #DITLpodcast to share what a day in your life is like!

User Research? It's a Requirement
Below is a blog post I wrote for Follow The UX Leader a couple of years ago. This great online resources will be retired and repurposes soon, so I'm reposting the article here. I hope you find it as useful today as when it was first published back in 2011. Thank you Jeff Parks once again for allowing me to contribute to Follow The UX Leader.
One of the hardest parts of the User Experience process to fit into a project is the up-front user research. There are many reasons for this, many unfounded, that make this the first thing to go when trying to cut down the scope or cost of a project. It seems that user research is the red headed stepchild, always being left out of all the family fun. It's time that this changes. With the tools … Read More »

Later this week, Apple will nearly definitely reveal a minimum of two new iPhones, together with another {hardware}. This 12 months's launch is framed round the truth that it is an "S" 12 months, which often implies that final 12 months's telephones get some up to date internals, digital camera enhancements, and an "S" affixed to their names. In different phrases, it won't be a 12 months of radical design rethinks.
But to focus solely on the iPhone would imply lacking the larger image round Apple's {hardware} occasions. The firm's technique more and more entails its broader product ecosystem and its providers. It desires to get prospects extra tightly locked in to its merchandise—an Apple Watch solely works with an iPhone, in spite of everything—and it desires to get them utilizing extra of its cloud-based software program.
Apple says it has 1.three billion energetic gadgets all over the world, a 30 p.c improve in activations from 2016. And the iPhone accounts for greater than half of Apple's income. But gross sales of iPhone have slowed over the previous couple years. Sales of Apple's Mac computer systems dropped final quarter, too. Its providers enterprise, in the meantime, which incorporates the App Store, iCloud, and Apple Music, has been fast-growing.
So whereas we will see a number of shiny new issues this week, for positive (and WIRED will likely be on web site on the Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino to report on all of the bulletins), it is necessary to understand that Apple is not solely attempting to promote you a cellphone. It desires to promote you on the Apple life. And that is an enormous dedication to contemplate, even in case you're somebody who will gladly spend $1,000 on a glimmering new handset.
Phone Home
With all that stated, the brand new iPhones are going to be essentially the most noteworthy announcement of this occasion. If all of the rumors show to be true, this 12 months's iPhone lineup will embody basic product differentiation.
There could also be a cellphone that appears quite a bit like final 12 months's 5.8-inch iPhone X with an OLED show, however will probably be the iPhone XS, and it would are available in gold. (The occasion invites despatched to media displayed an infinite loop, in gold.) The identical report from Bloomberg suggests {that a} 6.1-inch cellphone with an LCD show might ship; this could be a "cheaper" various to the premium iPhone X fashions, though "cheap" is a relative time period. It's additionally anticipated that Apple will launch a bigger iPhone; presumably its greatest ever, with a 6.5-inch show. And some of the persistent rumors is that the corporate might drop the "Plus" moniker for its big-phone line and name it "Max" as an alternative.
Bigger questions stay across the function updates or adjustments that can influence how customers truly work together with the brand new handsets. Will all of them be bezel-less telephones with notches on the high? Will all of them lose the house button? Last 12 months's iPhone X required a studying curve for some individuals; the iPhone Eight and eight Plus provided a extra acquainted design for individuals who weren't able to ditch the house button. Will all the new fashions this 12 months have FaceID, or will Apple save that for its top-of-the-line telephones? Will any of the telephones have a digital camera that's considerably higher than the opposite fashions?
We haven't any solutions but, nevertheless it's a protected guess that there will likely be a really costly, aspirational cellphone for the individuals who want the best possible smartphone, and a minimum of one different mannequin that is available in at a barely decrease tier. At the identical time, search for reductions the day of the occasion on the older cellphone fashions—as a result of once more, simply getting individuals into its ecosystem is a win for Apple.
We're additionally anticipating to see a brand new Apple Watch, a product class that Apple CEO Tim Cook stated earlier this 12 months is "now the size of a Fortune 300 company." This watch is prone to be be known as the Apple Watch Series 4, though as those that have been following it intently know, it is the fifth watch (the OG Apple Watch did not have a numeral hooked up to it, so Apple Watch 1 was the second mannequin, and so forth). Image leaks of the brand new smartwatch counsel it might have a brand new edge-to-edge show, a denser interface, and a redesigned crown.
Soft Goods
Apple constantly previews new software program within the spring, runs a beta program all summer season, then releases the official model of the software program within the fall. This 12 months is not any exception: Expect to see iOS 12, the newest iPhone software program, rolled out the week after the iPhone launch occasion. This software program launch is an enormous deal. For iPhone customers who do not plan to purchase a brand new cellphone this 12 months, iOS 12 might deliver important adjustments to their present gadgets.
Key options in iOS 12 embrace grouped notifications (like Android notifications), a better Photos app (like Google's Photos app), and a better Siri (which has some catching as much as do with Google's Assistant). It's speculated to make your cellphone safer. And iOS 12 will even embrace Screen Time options, that are designed to restrict the period of time you spend mindlessly scrolling by way of your cellphone. Social media apps? Bad! You ought to restrict these. Apple's personal apps…properly, that is determined by who you ask….
Wild Cards
As referenced earlier, Bloomberg reported final month that Apple plans to launch three new iPhones this 12 months: the improve to the iPhone X, the bigger cellphone with a 6.5-inch show, and the cheaper gadget. What's nonetheless unclear at this level is when these will all ship. Last 12 months, the rollout of the iPhone Eight and the iPhone X have been staggered: the Eight shipped in September, and the X adopted later within the fall. It's doable that considered one of this 12 months's cellphone fashions will not ship till later—particularly if there are manufacturing challenges, as has been reported.
A professional-focused refresh of the Mac Mini can also be a chance at this week's occasion, since that mannequin hasn't been up to date in 4 years. Although, Apple might have one other occasion later within the fall solely to roll out new Mac merchandise. The firm can also be stated to be planning a brand new, low-cost MacEbook, one thing that will be comparable in design and value to the MacEbook Air, which additionally hasn't gotten a serious replace in years.
It's laborious to say the place this new MacEbook would match into Apple's broader laptop computer lineup, which ranges from the super-expensive, specced out Pro laptops, to the so-slim-it-might-be-an-iPad 12-inch MacEbook. The most persistent rumor is that the brand new MacEbook will likely be a extra reasonably priced 13-inch mannequin. Considering that Apple up to date all of its MacEbook Pros this summer season besides for the 13-inch mannequin with out a Touch Bar, it definitely looks like the corporate is retaining shelf area open for a brand new, extra accessible machine.
Let's hope it has a greater keyboard.

Wells is one of 73 rural and remote B.C. communities that will welcome the Community Paramedicine Initiative, a program that offers residents enhanced health services from paramedics. Wells will get one half-time equivalent.
The program is part of the B.C. government's plan to enhance primary care service delivery to British Columbians. Under this program, paramedics will provide basic health-care services, within their scope of practice, in partnership with local health-care providers, delivered in non-urgent settings, in patients' homes or in the community.
"Improving health care services is a priority," Cariboo North MLA Coralee Oakes said. "By expanding primary health care service through the Community Paramedicine Initiative, more Wells residents will receive the care they need."
The services provided may include checking blood pressure, assisting with diabetic care, helping to identify fall hazards, medication assessment, post-injury or illness evaluation, and assisting with respiratory conditions. The paramedics will perform assessments requested by the referring health-care professional, and record their findings for the patient's file. The enhanced role will not replace care provided by health professionals such as nurses, but will complement and support their work.
Initially introduced in the province in 2015 in nine prototype communities, the Community Paramedicine Initiative is now expanding provincewide, including 18 communities in northern B.C.
Community paramedics are expected to be delivering community health services in northern B.C., including Wells, Anahim Lake and Alexis Creek this fall.
BC Emergency Health Services has been co-ordinating the implementation of community paramedicine with the Ministry of Health, regional health authorities, the Ambulance Paramedics of BC (CUPE 873), the First Nations Health Authority and others.

I created The Pay At Home Parent in February of 2018 to help you be a successful home-based business owner, blogger or side hustler. As a wife, mom and frugal homemaker, I still make a full-time income on a part-time work schedule and I know that you can too!
This post may contain affiliate links. Please see my full disclosure policy for details.
I have been working from home for more than 3 years now and I have a lot to share with other mothers who are looking for opportunities and tips to do the same. As I share the benefits of working from home, I'll also share my tips for working from home that could help you become successful.

18-24 year olds in the US can also join Pinecone Research to earn up to $3 per survey. They are extremenly exclusive, so act fast!
I will say this right up front; working from home is not for everyone. It takes self-discipline, commitment and a dedicated quiet office space to land and keep one of the well-paying work from home jobs that are available.
Part of me wants to say that anyone can be successful working from home, but I now know all too well that this is far from the truth.
I have been asked numerous times how to make money from home, but in all reality, there is not a one-size-fits-all solution. In fact, I'm not too sure that there is a solution for all who have asked me this exact question.
If you have a reason to work from home and a passion to build your own business, then stick with me as I share the benefits of working from home and the tips for working from home that helped me be successful.

5 Benefits of Working From Home
Though there are some minor disadvantages of working from home, there are so many benefits of working from home that I could share. Here are my top 10 benefits of working from home that I think every mother should know!
You Can Subcontract Extra Work
When you work from home and build a clientele base, you may have days that are slow and steady and you may have days that you feel there is no end to the work requests. Too much work is never a bad thing as long as you're able to keep your clients happy with your services and keep the work tasks flowing.
Start by posting small tasks here.
Early on in my work from home experience I started a writing business that I could subcontract writing projects to a few trusted writers. Today I continue to subcontract many writing, editing and data entry tasks which helps me and helps my writers earn money from home as well.
You Can Set Your Own Schedule
When you work from home, one of the top benefits you've probably heard is that you can set your own schedule. This is so true depending on the work from home jobs that you are considering!
As long as you are not working for an office that requires a 10 to 5 remote employee, you really can set your own schedule.
I find that my best work is done between the hours of 9 pm and 2 am! Is it because I am a night owl? Perhaps. But mostly I think it's because my son is in bed by this time and I know that I need to buckle down and finish my projects for the day.
If you need a remote position that allows you to work during nap hours, bedtime or school hours, you typically have that type of flexibility when you work from home.
You Can Work From Anywhere (Not Just From Home)
The benefit of working from home and not only from home but from anywhere is one of my all time favorites. At least it is right now as I work from my brother-in-law's home which happens to be 12 hours away from my home.
Although many would say that vacations are not the place to be working, I strongly disagree! If you absolutely love what you do, why should you leave it at the office or at home? I love that I can take my work anywhere and do a few hours of work to keep the income and work tasks flowing.
You Can Set Your Own Prices
You may not be able to do this from day one and you'll also have to keep pricing competitive, but ultimately, you really can set your own prices! As you become more knowledgeable about the services or products that you offer, you can set a price that works for you.
I started at the bottom of the totem pole only a little more than 3 years ago, but today I am able to charge a higher rate for the services that I offer.
As you sharpen your skills and build your portfolio, you too can set your own prices and raise them to suit your income needs.
You Can Diversify Your Work
When one type of work is scarce, another might be overflowing. One of the major benefits of working from home is that you can build a portfolio of diverse services so that you can continue to make money from various income streams.
I have multiple clients (both ongoing and new clients that come and go) and I also blog to share work from home tips and experiences to help others do the same.
By diversifying your talents and offerings, you can build a work from home opportunity that works for you and keeps you busy.
Bonus Benefit: You Can Still Raise Your Own Kids
When I became pregnant while working a full time job, I dreaded the thought of paying someone to raise my child. At the time, I didn't think it was feasible to work from home.
When I started a home business to supplement my husband's income, my entire view on having a baby changed. This is one of the best benefits of working from home that I appreciate to this day!
Working from home with a baby (now toddler) was not easy to figure out. But with the help of my husband and his mom, we've established a schedule that works perfectly for us!
Tips for Working From Home or Working Remotely
Whether you own your own home-based business or you work remotely for an employer, there are so many benefits to consider. But before I wrap things up I would like to share a few tips for working from home that have helped me be successful in my day to day work.
Take A Leap of Faith
Working from home can take time. My first year of working from home I barely made half of my full-time salary that I had left behind. Many will make even less than this in the beginning!
But the truth is that it takes time to build a client base and a steady income working from home. Consider starting with a side hustle and then building it into a home-based business as you continue your current full-time position.
Don't Worry When Work is Slow
Despite earning more money last year than I have earned working any full time office job, I still found myself worrying when the work tasks slowed down.
But what I found was that worry never helped anything. Instead, it helped to use these slow times to experiment with automating tasks and sharpen my skills in areas outside of my comfort zone.
After 3 years of working from home, I have found that there are many valuable skill sets that can be applied to different services. A few examples are writing, sales, customer support and teaching others.
Be Consistent and Don't Give Up
I have had many days that I considered ditching the benefits of working from home for a guaranteed 9 to 5 income. But I am so glad that I didn't.
Not only does working from home give me more time with my son, but it also allows me to scale my income to an amount that no position in my area could fulfill.
If you can keep at it for one more hour, day or week, you might find that your well-deserved breakthrough is just around the corner.
Be Willing to Invest in Yourself
Though some may see the idea of "spending money to make money" as a gamble, I see it as an investment. Only you know yourself and the potential you hold to become a work from home mom.
If you want it enough and you're willing to invest in yourself and learn. I truly believe that you can do it.
Do I think that every person has the ability and drive to work from home? No. But do I think that you can do it? Yes! If you are here searching for answers and reading these tips for working from home with an open mind, then you are already investing in yourself.
Because work from home opportunities are largely based online in this day and age, one of the first investments that you need to make is on a website. Whether you are looking to start a blog or a business, consider creating a website as one of your very first steps to becoming official.
You can create your own website for as little as $3.95 per month if paid annually. This cost is so small in the grand scheme of things! If you only allow yourself one monetary investment, consider a website of your own a very basic necessity.
Be Your Own Boss and Work From Home
When you work from home, you are truly your own boss. Even if you have an employer or various clientele who give you directives, only you can keep yourself accountable.
Ultimately, the benefits of working from home outweigh the disadvantages of working from home.
If your desire is to stay at home with your children, break away from the 9 to 5 office job or scale an income beyond what you can earn in your current position, then working from home just might be for you.
If you'd love to start a blog but don't know where to start, check out this free step-by-step tutorial on how to start a money-making blog!
Allow me to walk with you as you learn the benefits of working from home and apply the tips for working from home that I have shared. Please comment below if you have any questions or concerns and I will happily answer them and lend a helping hand!

St. Louis Blues (31-19-3) at Buffalo Sabres (14-28-9)

The St. Louis Blues look to shake off their disappointing road record as they head into Buffalo to take on the Sabres who are coming in as one of the worst teams in the NHL.
The Blues look to continue their winning ways as they take on the Sabres on Saturday night and with a 5-2 mark in their last seven and a ridiculous track record against Buffalo intact the Blues are huge favourites in Vegas. St. Louis has been a bit inconsistent over the last month or so but they are in a good position to get back in the mix for top spot in the Central division as the Sabres are 3-13 in their last 16 Saturday games and are woeful on home ice which bodes very well for the Blues to add one in the win column in this one. Jake Allen is expected to get the nod here as he will face off against Robin Lehner who hasn't had a ton of support in front of him this season as Buffalo is among the worst defensive teams in the league.
The Sabres meanwhile have had a very tough go of things this season as first year head coach Phil Housley hasn't been able to generate enough consistency from his bunch and with a disappointing record on home ice it doesn't look as though they are going to make a turnaround in the season's second half. Buffalo heads into tonight's game with the Blues with only 15 wins in their last 57 contests and at this rate they look like they are going to be among the lottery teams in line to select Rasmus Dahlin in next year's draft, and while it is never a fun time to see your team struggling I think the Sabres faithful and front office would be more than happy with that possibility.
The Blues are a staggering 20-3 in their last 23 meetings with the Sabres and are 10-2 in their last 12 in Buffalo while the Sabres are 9-19 in their last 28 against the West and 15-42 in their last 57 overall. St. Louis is a big favourite here and while they have had issues on the road lately the trends are too strong to ignore as they get another win here.

What you'll need: patience, perma-smile
Songlist: Money Can't Buy Me Love by the Beatles
Further reading: Malled: My Unintentional Career in Retail by Caitlin Kelly, Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella
As I was thinking about this week's theme, I considered all the things that mean Thanksgiving to me–family, gratitude, travel, food. I've kind of done those all already, though. And then I remembered the other Great American Holiday happening this week: Black Friday.
I've never gone shopping on Black Friday intentionally. One year we accidentally scheduled getting a family picture taken at the mall the day after Thanksgiving. Chaos. And last year my family from Wyoming was visiting, and we went looking for a wedding dress for my newly-engaged cousin on Black Friday. As she tried on gorgeous dresses, another bride-to-be was exclaiming on the lines she'd waited in at 3 am that morning in front of Best Buy. Madness.
But I can't deny my consumerist instincts. Whenever I go to a mall I always feel better after I've bought something so I can walk around with the bag–proof of my economic influence. Not only did I just purchase a pair of leather boots, I helped America, man. And if I happen not to buy anything, I leave defeated, knowing I've let my country down.
I love beautiful clothing, but rarely have the money for it, and thus working retail at my favorite stores always held that employee discount allure. Sure, you end up spending way too much of the minimum wage you earn on clothes that are still expensive after the discount, but…at least you have the clothes? An Anthropologie store is opening just two blocks from my house this coming Friday and when the interview notices went up earlier this summer I considered, for the briefest of moments, quitting my two jobs to be a cashmere cashier.
Alas, I did not apply to Anthropologie. Because the truth, as far as I can tell, is that retail sucks. I've only worked at one store, a gay and lesbian bookshop in Provincetown. The only stressful part of that job was having to lie about which new lesbian spy thrillers I was excited about ("umm…all of them?") Retail in general, though, sounds exhausting. One of my good friends, Elsie, has worked at J. Crew stores for the last 3 or 4 years, and used to regale us with stories–good and bad–from her days there.
Sometimes at the Mall of America store she acted as a moving clothes rack for foreign dignitaries' wives–she said some women spent a few thousand dollars in a matter of minutes, piling cardigans and jumpers high in Elsie's arms. Meanwhile, the visiting Japanese women never seemed to realize that they could lock their dressing room doors; Elsie walked in on at least one confused woman per day. And yet the women she had the most problems with were the bored suburban wives who had nothing better to do with themselves than see if there was anything new at J. Crew. She swore there were many mothers who'd come in to find clothing for their children without said children in tow, but would still ask Elsie, Would this look good on Billy? Inevitably, when Elsie asked about Billy's size, the mother would just shrug.
While Elsie somehow maintains her energy for all these shoppers and looks good while doing it, I know it would kill me. So I probably won't apply to any retail jobs in my future. And I probably won't be waking up at 2 am this Friday to take part in one of the most bizarre of American traditions. But will I be making a trip to the newest Anthropologie at Grand and Milton this Friday? Oh yes, most definitely. And I'll probably feel proud of myself if I leave with a shopping bag in hand.
