Writing anything is a truly difficult task. It takes time, massive effort and a willingness to allow the masses to love or destroy your creative endeavor. It's like willingly running with the bulls every day, for the rest of your life. In a digital age where really nothing is deleted, that is the risk you take. So, what can you do to make things better or help your sales? It's all about perception and using the marketing tools available to you.
1. Name Your Files Correctly!
I have a tendency to change my story pieces and parts. I might move things around within the story or change a characters name etc. The best thing to do is ensure that you are working in the proper file. I will always put the date and the words ROUGH DRAFT (Ex. 2018-2-28 Rough Draft, 2018-3-4 Rough Draft). The reason for this is simple – the more you edit on your own, the more files you will have. You have to be careful here to ensure you don't inadvertently load the wrong file. Once I get to the editing stages, I name it with the date and EDITED VERSION (Ex. 2018-2-28 Edited Version, 2018-3-4 Edited Version). That way I know what work level I am on. It truly helps to not mess this up. Do this properly and it will prevent you from uploading the incorrect files or losing your hard work.
2. Editing is a MUST!
As I posted previously on A WRITER'S MASSIVE MISTAKE, I have a large number of reviews for Steele Resolve that mention the horrific editing. If you make a mistake in naming the file, you will upload the wrong unedited one. The fact is you wouldn't want to read something that a newborn would write (if they could write that is). You want to present yourself in the best possible light in order to have a future reader. Remember, you are a professional and you need to present yourself as such. If you are in need of an editor, email me and I will send you the name of mine (I actually have two).
3. Cover Art
Trust me, first impressions are something you can never recreate or undo. If you work with a corporation then they should be handling your book covers. If you don't feel confident in them or dislike them – SAY SOMETHING! Don't be disrespectful, just express how you feel about the cover art. People buy based many factors, sight is one of them. If your cover looks less than professional, they might skip down to the next book in the list. You need to get people to open the sample or buy it. In order to do that, you need to catch their eye. In the eBook age, it is massively competitive. Why give yourself a disadvantage before you've even started?
4. Publicist???
When I published book one, I right away thought I needed a publicist. I hired one and thought they would be able to get me such press that things would change for me. I wrote Melting Steele in preparation for my first book signing at the famed Booke Revue. I had some interviews and a few reviews. I spent over 10k of my hard saved money. It was wonderful to have my signing. It felt like I had arrived. I met The Lesbian Socilaite, Robyn Vie-Carpenter, and she is now a friend and business partner. Overall though, I should have waited. I invested so much money into someone trying to assist me in making a name for myself. Looking back on it now, beyond the two positives, I wish I hadn't done it. I wish I had been patient.
5. Marketing is a Necessity
Once the book is done, the editing finished, cover approved – you upload the files to the proper locations and wait. You post things on Facebook, Twitter or whatever other social media you use. And you wait. And wait. Sales will surely come, right? Maybe some, but unless you are someone popular the sales will be small. It's the nature of the beast. You may not need a publicist, as I mentioned above, but you do need a good marketing strategy. I've worked with many other people, tried so many things and most of them failed. It's frustrating, annoying and can really make you want to just focus on writing only. You can't let it knock you down. Sometimes you just have to have someone recommend someone who ends up being the perfect fit. This is exactly what happened to me.
My mother is a huge fan of writer Julie Smith. In one of my mother's wonderful moments, she mentioned Julie worked with a company called booksBnimble. Since I still had a negative feeling about marketing I was extremely hesitant at first. I had very little money left to work with and really didn't want to go further into the hole that I was slipping down.
Writing is a wonderful endeavor, but you can't spend all your money trying to promote or push things. You shouldn't be paying for reviews that are positive, but you can pay for ads or places where they will send your book to their "subscriber list". The website showcases the fact that they work with Amazon. They optimized all my book summaries, keywords and more. My books seemed so much more thrilling and enticing. That alone was worth the price and sales had a bit of a spike. It was enough to make me notice that in a small bit of time this woman and her team proved they could help me.
I spoke to Julie about taking me on for a marketing period. I do have a series of three books as well as two box set versions. That was one of my requirements. Sales have been steady. Reviews, except for Steele Resolve's editing issue, have been good and steady as well. I feel like I have a team in my corner and I am not alone in this endeavor.
But Kimmie – They must cost a FORTUNE!!! Nope. I paid a small fee, which truthfully was so low I thought Julie was lying. That money goes to the ads they get for you to promote your book. They constantly use Amazon's promotional tools for your benefit. The best part – they only make money if I do. If I make nothing for the month of March 2018 – neither do they. That made me feel comfortable.
I am biased, 100% agree with that. Wouldn't you be? Due to their work – I have already made back more money than the fees I've paid for 18 months, including the percentage cut. The results are clear to me and I cannot recommend them enough.
Beyond all that, Julie introduced me to one of my editors. Plus, the woman answers any and all questions I have for her. She works with you and treats you like a professional. She is much further along in her career than I am (although I wish to get there one day) and you would never know that. It might seem silly, but that is a really big part of this.
I have several books I am working on but I can tell you booksBnimble will optimize them all. Many will be one-shot books, but with the fan base increasing due to marketing Steele… sales should follow. I've found a team that works for me and my advice still holds true: when you find something that works – KEEP IT.
6. Never Stop
This section is more about mental toughness than anything else. You cannot stop. You cannot give up. You need to write all the time. If you are having writer's block or feel delayed or busy – find a way to get the thoughts out. Use all the tools you have at your disposal. I have issues writing regularly on one book, so I don't. I will work on whatever I feel like writing. I have deadlines and contractual commitments so I have to get Cold Steele done. That still doesn't prohibit me from working on something else. I also bought a reMarkable tablet back when it was a Kickstarter item. I use it all the time now. I can edit my files with a pen, doodle notes, write outlines or notes for a future story. It is one of the best things to keep me busy working on my craft.
If you stop, you will most likely never start again. Always follow your dream and write.
7. Read, Read and Read Some More
You've done everything you can to get your book done, woohoo! Treat yourself to a novel by someone else and take a bit of break. Give your mind a respite from the reality of all your hard work. Not only will this allow you a battery recharge, it will help your writing get better. Trust me – I read more fiction now than I ever did before. I still am addicted to non-fiction true crime sagas, but that works for the genre I write in.
I know this list was long… longer than I was intending to write anyway. Point is – getting those words out of your head and onto the page is only half of the battle here. We writers all want a fruitful career, but it's a hard road. It doesn't have to be a lonely one. I have so many indie authors that are my friends and we support each other. Have faith in yourself to find those people and create something you will be proud of.
Happy writing!

Half of Britons spend more time talking about leading a healthy lifestyle than actually doing anything about it, a new survey shows.
Research conducted for new online service NHS MidLifeCheck found that 46 per cent of adults recognise the need to think more about leading a healthy lifestyle.
But 47 per cent admitted that, while they spend plenty of time talking about health, they rarely act to improve their own diet and fitness.
The survey also found that 69 per cent of mid-lifers do not know their own blood pressure, compared with just 27 per cent of over-65s.
Sir Liam Donaldson, England's chief medical officer, commented: 'Most people in their 40s generally enjoy good health, however for some people certain chronic health issues can start at this age - with cancer, heart disease and diabetes being some of the biggest causes of death.
'We all need to be aware of how to help prevent potential health problems.'
The new NHS MidLifeCheck website allows users to find out more about their own health.
Visitors to the site can complete a series of simple questions about their health and lifestyle, receive personal results and advice, and obtain ideas on how to eat more healthily, give up smoking, drink in moderation and improve their emotional wellbeing.

Are you looking for a headlamp to take with you on your next adventure? Headlamps are essential tools for any excursion into the great outdoors. The right headlamp is the primary safety feature of any camping, rock climbing, or backpacking experience. When searching for headlamps, it's important to prioritize quality, safety, and ease of use. It can be tough identifying the best lights for outdoor adventures, especially when there are so many to choose from. In this post, we'll look closely at the best headlamps on the market so that you can ignite your next journey properly!
What to Look for When Buying a Headlamp
Your headlamp can be your key to success the next time you step outside. When it comes to the best headlamps on the market, you truly can't go wrong with any model by Petzl, Black Diamond, Fenix, and Princeton Tec. Outdoor Nirvana is every outdoors woman and man's ultimate companion when it comes to exploring nature. We believe that it's possible to achieve a state of nirvana when you're fully prepared for a wilderness adventure.
Having a headlamp not only provides a safer journey, it also frees up your hands to give you more freedom. Here are some things to look for when shopping for a new headlamp.
LED lights are what we recommend for headlamps because they require a lot less power, last longer, and provide a brighter light. The best led headlamps will either come with a rechargeable battery, or small easily replaceable batteries.
Grafting off of that last note, the power is important. Some headlamps are rechargeable, even with renewable resources such as small built in solar cells. If you don't get an led headlamp, you will have to replace or recharge batteries more often.
If you are using your headlamp for something more active than just walking, you'll want to make sure it has a very secure strap system. Having a secondary strap that goes over the head can be helpful in keeping things secure. Having easy adjustments is also crucial, as well as a material that won't slide around. The best headlamps for hiking won't slip off even when you've worked up a sweat.
10 Best Headlamps for All Adventures
We have based our picks for the 10 best headlamps by choosing the best brands, and find a variety of head lamps that they make to give you all of the top options.

It also comes equipped with an emergency whistle, reflective headband coating, and a five-year warranty from Petzl. The Actik Core is also water-resistant. This headlamp is a little more spendy, but it's going to be the only one you'll ever need or use.

Turn on a red strobe light at the rear of this headlamp when trail running, and enjoy the tri-support of the Sprinter's secure headband. We officially dub this guy the best rechargeable headlamp.
Fenix Headlamps
Fenix is one of the industry's most trusted manufacturers because it specializes solely in lighting gear. Plus, Fenix has been illuminating the dark since 2005. Check out these Fenix models when searching for your next headlamp.

This game is a simplified version of Pachisi. The 4 players take turn to roll a die and make a move. If you row a 6 then you can put one piece to the starting square, you can also roll again. After rolling you can move a piece on the square by the number show on the die. If you enter a place occupied by an opponent then you knock that opponent piece off the board and that piece must start all over again. Two pieces cannot occupy the same square.

White Label Social Media Management Services
Social media services designed for agencies and resellers
A profitable, effective and fast way to offer social media services to your clients.
Are you currently offering social media services to your clients, but struggling to manage it all? Or perhaps you just want to be able to spend more time on sales? Our white label social media management services allow you to offer a polished, professional social media service to your clients – and make a decent margin.?
We're your outsourced social media department!
Our white label social media services are entirely flexible. This means that we are able to look at the packages you are currently offering your clients, and give you a straightforward price for us to deliver it.
This approach means that agencies can earn a good margin on the work that we do, and they can focus on selling more, and scaling their agency.
We are able to provide our white label services for large and small agencies. It doesn't matter whether you have 10 or 100 clients, we have the systems, processes and packages to help you scale (without hiring a large in-house team)
Our white label social media services have been designed and optimised from the ground up to ensure that they offer each agency we work with exactly what they need. We are fully aware that 'nearly, but not quite' isn't good enough. Our systems allow for the fit to be perfect.
How much can we charge our clients?
That's entirely up to you. Our prices are fixed, and offer great value. It's then up to you how much margin you add. We have customers who add up to 200% to our prices. The key thing to remember is that you should always be offering good value to your clients.
Will we be tied into a contract?
No. You can cancel at any time. This can be either your decision, or dictated by your client. Our only stipulation is that we require a minimum notice period of 30 days.
Which social media networks do you work with?
We are currently able to offer our white label social media services for Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.
Do you offer white labelled proposals?
Yes, we're happy to produce a proposal for you and your client. We will also make sure that all our branding is removed, and that your logo is added to each page.
Do you offer other white label services?
Yes, most of our core services can be offered on a white label basis. This includes blog writing, e-book creation and graphic design services. if you'd like to know more, please get in touch.
Can we pay in USD?
Yes, that's no problem at all.
Do you work with agencies anywhere in the world?
Yes, our services are completely transferable to any English speaking country in the world. This includes the USA, Australia, Canada, South Africa and the UAE. If you'd like to discuss how we might be able to work together, and how your location may have an impact, please schedule a call – we're sure we'll be able to ensure that we can offer a seamless service to your clients.
You're in the UK, we're in the US - will that be a problem?
Not at all. In fact, many of the agencies we work with prefer that we are in the UK. In most cases, due to the currency exchange rate, we're able to offer packages at prices that allow our US agency partners to add a larger margin to our white label prices – and make more profit!
We already offer our clients a set package - can you match it?
Yes, this isn't a problem and something we fully understand. Each agency we work with will usually have their own packages that they already have a number of clients on. We will work with you to match that package so that you can start using our services and it be 100% seamless.
Can our clients still post on their social media accounts?
Yes, definitely. This is made really simple through the white label social media dashboard that we will provide you with. The dashboard also comes with full instructions and training so your client can get as involved as they want to be.
Is there a minimum spend for agencies?
No. we work with agencies of all sizes.
Do you offer a white label discount?
Yes, we offer volume discounts for agencies who sell larger quantities of our services. Please ask us for more details.

This month, the WWE Raw and SmackDown world tours came to Europe.
At Wembley Arena, the title matches saw Sheamus take on Big Show and awesome/awful bad boy The Miz fight Kofi Kingston, but there was a special bout for the home crowd.
The all-England tag team of William Regal and Wade Barrett did battle with dancing duo Ted DiBiase and 'Simply' Johnny Curtis.
Digital Spy sat down with William and Wade a couple of hours before they took to the ring to hear what they had to say for themselves.
What's it like coming back to England with the WWE?
William: "It's always very special for me just to get home, because we're away so much. It's a bit of a hectic schedule as always. It's great in one sense, and sad in another because you don't see the people you want to see and you just get glimpses of it and it's not enough time."
Wade: "Same for me really. I haven't been out in the States as long as William has, but it's great to come back and see friends and family. Especially the guys who watched me when I was wrestling across the UK in the independent scene. Some of my friends and family came and watched me wrestling in front of 50 people in bars and community centres... it's really cool to get them to come along and see how come I've moved up the chain."
> WWE Raw's 1,000th episode - facts, figures and ten milestones
Is it harder to get the big chances and big title bouts as an Englishman?
William: "I don't think it's any harder than for anyone else once you get yourself over there. Getting over there is the hard thing. If you've got the talent it'll shine through. I went over there when there was no-one there. It was difficult. But I think it helps if anything, just to be English, just to be a bit different. It definitely helped me. I was the only English character at the time. Obviously there was the Bulldog, but he was his own entity - he was a completely different thing away from what I was doing. It gave me a bit of a boost really."
Wade: "I think increasingly WWE is a global company - as much as they can they want to push out into new markets like Europe. I think it's definitely been a help in a sense that I'm English. But again it's ultimately down to talent. Being English helped me get a foot in the door, but ultimately it's down to my talent and hard work in trying to get to that top level."
If you could have a bout with anyone in history, who would it be?
William: "That's a weird one for me, because I've pretty much done everybody. If it was one person I could have a bout with, it would be Jack Pye, the Doncaster Panther. A mythical wrestler obviously from Doncaster who lived in Blackpool.
"He was famous through radio and newspapers in the '50s and living in Blackpool there was this mystique that carried over into the outside world of Blackpool. Everything about him fascinates me. He was the one true European superstar and the only real bad guy for me. His hair was a little longer than everybody else. I know a lot of stories about him. He was a tough man as well, he had a cauliflower head. Not just the ears... the nose, and face as well. Fascinating."
Wade: "I'd go with the British Bulldog, Davey Boy Smith. When I was a kid, 10 or 11 years old, he was the big British star, the English star on the scene. I was amazed because I'd seen pictures of the wrestlers - Hulk Hogan and Bret Hart and all those guys - and thought they looked so different to anyone I'd seen before in England. Then one day, up popped the British Bulldog, who probably looked better than any of them.
"He looked bigger and tanned and he had cool hair and all that stuff. I'm from Preston and he was from Wigan, so he wasn't from far down the road from me. I was amazed that there was someone pretty much from the same place as me who looked like that and became a star over here. He was really the inspiration for me as a kid to get into wrestling and ultimately get myself here in WWE."
How far should the rules be bent and twisted by a Superstar to win?
William: "I've done 'em all. To the extent in Jacksonville, Florida, having a policeman sticking a gun into my forehead ready to shoot me because I was about to rip an American flag off the wall. So I'd suggest you never do that. I could get away with some really strong stuff we just couldn't do now. You just couldn't do it - they wouldn't allow it. There'd be an international incident. I'm glad I came along at that point that I can say I've done a lot of those things. Some of the stuff when I first came here at the end of the Attitude Era - that was pretty heavy stuff."
Wade: "William was around in an earlier time than I was, and since that era WWE is a publicly-listed company! We have to answer to shareholders, a board of directors, our viewers who are a PG audience. We have to stay within those confines. We've got all sorts of corporate sponsors and huge companies that we have responsibilities to. As much as I would love to break the rules as far as William did in his younger years, unfortunately we're more restricted now. We still try to bend them, but maybe we can't break them as much as we used to!"
What would you love to do or see at WrestleMania XXX in 2014?
Wade: "Personally I'd love to be in one of the title matches. Obviously we've got two main titles in WWE - the World Heavyweight Championship and the WWE Title. We've never had an English winner of those. In my opinion we should have had the British Bulldog as World Champion. Mr Regal next to me should have been a World Champion. It has never quite never happened for Mr Regal yet, although it still could."
William: "Don't hold your breath."
Wade: "I'd love to be the first English World Champion. When you look at the history of English professional wrestling and all the things that have gone on in the past, going back decades, it's incredible we've never had a recognised World Champion here. I think that needs to change and obviously I'd love to be the first one."
William: "I'm just happy being there at WrestleMania. I've never had a big role at any WrestleMania, but I've been at 11-odd. Just to be there is special. The week beforehand and all the promotions and stuff. I don't really think about the big events, being in them any more. I'm 44, so it's my autumn years of my career, so I'm just happy to be there to be honest. What I'd like to see? It'd be nice to see Wade and Sheamus in a main event. It'd be nice to see Daniel Bryan in a main event, just because of the time I've spent with him in the last 12 years."
What is it that people have always loved about the WWE?
William: "People from the beginning of time have always loved to watch two people in competition with each other. You go back to the gladiatorial shows, there's just something about it. You can go into a village in the world where they've never seen wrestlers, two young boys will be rolling around in headlocks. It's just a natural thing to do and to watch and that basically captures people's imaginations. A lot of the time they can't do it themselves but they like to see other people doing it. If it's packaged in the right way they'll come to watch... there's just something about the whole spectacle."
> WWE SummerSlam 25th anniversary - greatest ever moments
Wade: "For me personally, when I was 10 years old, I remember watching it and just being attracted to the fact that these were real-life cartoon characters. It sounds a bit of a cliché to say it. I think it was only when I was about 19 years old when I read a book by Mick Foley, his first book Have a Nice Day, and it kind of deconstructed the whole story of pro-wrestling to me - what happens behind the scenes.
"It was only at that age that it kind of clicked for me that these were real-life human beings who grew up with regular families, who came up and decided they wanted to do that. That was really the trigger for me to decide that I wanted to do that too. When I was a kid it was just like watching a real-life cartoon with these crazy characters and that's what drew me in at first. The longer I stuck with it the more aspects of it I discovered and the more I liked, and I ended up here."
Tickets for the WWE WrestleMania Revenge Tour in April 2013 are on sale now. Please visit the WWE website for further details.
WWE Survivor Series will be live and exclusive on Sky Sports Box Office on Sunday, November 18 at 1am.

For Dr. Dan & Co., looking to the future is business as usual
In the summer of 1961, 13-year-old Dan Bartlett met a woman who would change his life. Sarah "Madame Incarna" O'Hare was a fortune teller. In the week that Dan spent visiting with her at a carnival in La Puenta, Calif., Madame Incarna initiated him into the world of psychic energy and entertainment.
As Dr. Dan, who now holds a doctoral degree in metaphysical science, tells on the website for his business, Dr. Dan & Company, LLC:
"She was a treasure trove of stories about carnival life and doing readings. She taught me a lot of very special aspects and secrets of the pseudo psychic realm and doing readings, and taught me how to 'see through people.' When Sarah left with the carnival that summer in 1961, I never saw her again or heard from her. … [But] that was the beginning of my magical journey in both doing magic shows and doing readings."
Today, operating out of his home in Arizona's San Tan Valley, Dr. Dan taps his heightened intuitive powers to provide a variety of psychic services to individuals and groups. He offers Akashic Record Soul Profile and other psychic readings, and hosts psychic parties. He also strives to educate fellow practitioners and the public about the wonders of the universe — and the business of being a psychic.
"I'm in business because I sincerely believe that part of my life path is to help other to find their life path, people who may have gotten away from their highest good," Dr. Dan says. His mission is "to help my clients with insight, clarity and direction to experience their life with fulfillment, positive well-being and satisfaction in their relationships, career and overall prosperity."
Magic and metaphysics
Like many people, Dr. Dan says he abandoned his childhood dream of becoming a professional magician and fortune teller out of pressure to follow a more traditional path — college, "normal" job, marriage, etc. But his passion for magic and metaphysics stayed with him. He's dabbled in some sort of magic-related endeavor since the 1980's.
Dan worked as a professional entertainer and lecturer — specializing in psychic, magical and paranormal talks, demonstrations and performances — before founding Dr. Dan & Company about 10 years ago. "My love of magic and doing readings just naturally lead me into offering my service for a fee," he says, "which lead me into actually setting up a 'real' business."
Marketing to a niche
While doing magic was "an easy sell," Dan says, because there's always a need for entertainment, finding customers for psychic readings required a more targeted approach. He explains:
"When I began doing readings I had to identify a niche. So I participated in a lot of psychic fairs, and asked the folks who came to me for a reading to fill a simple, three-question form (their gender, occupation, and date of birth.) After I accumulated over a hundred of these, I separated the info into age/gender and occupation. So had a good idea as to what gender came to readings, their age group, and what they did for a living. I simply geared my advertising to those folks. And still do."
Dr. Dan uses his business's Facebook page to connect with his followers and share info about upcoming events such as his participation in regional psychic fairs. His Facebook site links back to his dedicated website, which includes a wealth of information about Dr. Dan's services, process and purpose.
"My main online tool is my website," Dr. Dan says. "I also have several domain names registered through GoDaddy."
Besides the domain that serves as his primary web address — drdanandco.com — he's registered domains that might suit his business as it evolves. "I may have a use for them as my direction and/or goals change concerning my business. I am in the process of putting together an online course of study about psychic development, for which I have already registered my domain name."
Dr. Dan's other online tools for business include PayPal for payment processing and AWeber for email marketing.
Advice for other entrepreneurs
Dan says the most valuable lesson he's learned since starting his business is to be flexible. Realize that you might have to alter your expectations.
"I feel the Universe would not allow me to have a dream if it were not met for to have in my reality. But you might have to change and tweak the initial vision in order for it to work."
Persistence is key. Running a small business is tough, and many of the entrepreneurs who succeed are those who refuse to give up. "Don't quit. Never, ever give up," Dr. Dan encourages. "Keep-on keeping on."
Staying small and fun
As far as his aspirations for growth, Dr. Dan says he never planned to go big. In all honesty, he never really even had a solid business plan.
However, now that "things are expanding into more than what I thought they would," Dr. Dan says he's begun consulting with an accountant. He's thinking more about organization and growth — yet he doesn't envision growing his business beyond a certain point:
"I know this is going to sound strange, but my goal is to keep it small and fun. I didn't want to get LLC'd, and I don't really want more clients than I can give my undivided attention to. Working out of my home and doing an occasional psychic fair, a few psychic parties, and a few readings a week is my goal."
He doesn't want to struggle to find time to work on his magic, continue his paranormal research, and stay in touch with himself and the Universe through meditation.
Free will and letting go
Dr. Dan is used to skepticism. In fact, the need to respond to a question about whether or not the psychic profession had become "passé" in the age of technology cemented his belief in what he does. He explains:
"I don't question, judge or analyze the messages I receive. I trust they're true and that they will be beneficial to my client. … A great psychic leaves room for free will because we are imbued by the Universe and by the Source with the power to create. You can recreate your life anytime. A psychic can help point a direction, but ultimately, the client has the choice to do, or not."
Dr. Dan says he realizes he can't be "Dr. Dan" all the time, that sometimes he needs to put aside his business aims and his passion for the paranormal to simple be "Dan." Nevertheless, the line between personal and professional is blurry. And that's fine.
As he writes on his website, reminiscing about the years following his pivotal time with Madame Incarna, "I failed to follow my dream — one of the great regrets of my life. Now here I am with my job years behind me, but with a different but related dream, and that is advising folks with intuitive insight and my years of experience and extrasensory skills and abilities."
In a way, he's come full circle. "I sincerely believe in the magic of the Universe, and I sincerely believe I tap into that magic to help my clients, and myself, on a daily basis."

Holy mother of period-prone angst, you guys.
Veruca Salt just got back together and performed for the first time in 18 years on Conan. We were immediately transported to that time when we were 10 and our mom bought us the Eight Arms to Hold You cassette, with the warning not to play it at our friend's houses because there was cursing.
That record changed our lives. We were growing up into little women, looking for the world of rock 'n' roll to save us, but our wide, expectant eyes met only the starshine of men. Some of them were androgynous, but being an androgynous man isn't the same as having a real vagina.
We needed more female rock idols, and Veruca Salt was our first taste of that fem ferocity. Of course, we soon realized there are tons of kick-ass girl bands, especially during the glory days of the '90s. Here are some of our favorites.
See Also: Rock 'n' Roll's Seven Baddest Chicks
For this list, we decided to stick to bands at least 50 percent female, if not all-girl everything. Sorry then to Garbage's Shirley Manson. You surely (ha) get an honorable mention. And we decided not to take the solo route, so no St. Vincent here.
Back in 2006, this Brazilian dance-punk band had the world jumping up and down to their clean, catchy sound with breakout record Cansei de Ser Sexy, literally translated from Portuguese to "I got tired of being sexy." For those wondering, it's apparently a pull from a Beyonce quote, but it makes a pretty raw name for an all-girl band no matter the origin story. Their song "Hits Me Like a Rock" gets a lot of play from superstar-DJ Dillon Francis. Really, who wouldn't want to make love and listen to Death From Above 1979.
9. Tegan and Sara
These melodic and folksy twinsies had young romantic teenagers crying and dancing at the same time since 1995. They're one of the longest-lasting acts on our list, so kudos to them, although they definitely took a strong EDM-turn with this latest release. In real hipster fashion, we prefer their old stuff, but we'll never turn out back on a sister act that helped raise the water for all lady ships at sea.
8. Veruca Salt
Named after the bitchiest little girl from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, this '90s alt rock group is totally shirking Miami on their reunion tour. What gives, ladies? Even still, we'll always love them for introducing us to the wild and wonderful ways of women in rock. Now they're back in all their original line-up glory, sending fans the friendly message: "for now let's just say this: hatchets buried, aces exhumed."
The latest in the long tradition of estrogen-fueled powerhouses is HAIM. They may look like the Hanson kids found punk rock, but they sound like the re-animated dream of the '80s pop-r&b movement. They're sweet on the inside, sour on the outside, and their harmonies are decidedly beautiful, despite yielding almost painfully traditional femme vibes. Girly as they may be, these women are no doubt inspiring new generations of ready-to-rock boss bitches to pick up guitars, sticks, and learn those keys.
6. Heart
Before the days of Riot Grrrl, women didn't have a lot to look up to, but the Wilson sisters of Heart helped shred through the veil of the sexes as early as the '70s. Heavily influenced by acts like Led Zeppelin and Fleetwood Mac, they're guitar-heavy, mystical blend of sexuality and raw power helped shoot them to the top of the rock game with songs "Crazy On You," "Magic Man," and "Barracuda."
5. The Runaways
The Runaways weren't just some ready-for-the-big-screen group of pretty faces. These young sexpots carved the way for nearly everyone on this list. With Joan Jett and Lita Ford on guitar, the noise from the axes alone was the sonic equivalent of El Nino. These girls didn't hide their sexuality (hello, the big hit is "Cherry Bomb"), but they were some of the first women in rock to totally rebuke the whole dainty, pouty act. The world was hardly ready.
4. Le Tigre
Veteran Riot Grrrl Kathleen Hannah couldn't stop rockin', so she went and started another groovy gig with Le Tigre in the late '90s. They rose to indie-darling prominence in the early 2000s, and in real Hannah-band tradition, they wore their liberal sociopolitical ideas on their sleeves. Yes, one of them is a transgender, and that's pretty cool. Rock'n'roll has always been best enjoyed without any gender stereotypes.
3. The Breeders
As if The Pixies weren't enough, everyone's favorite indie band got a sick off-shoot when bassist Kim Deal brought together more homies to form The Breeders. Her penchant for raw hooks and haunting melodies brought the band success, despite an ever-changing lineup, and their legacy continues to inspire men and women alike to write great tunes. They, too, recently got the band back for a very special reunion tour, performing seminal record Last Splash on the road with all recording members. It was freakin' awesome.

2. Bikini Kill
Hot damn! Kathleen Hannah is running this bitch. Before she lit up the dance floor with Le Tigre, she had crunchy guitar on lock with this queenly pioneering foursome. They bring their feminisism to the forefront with punchy lyricism as tongue-in-cheek as it is staunchly political. You don't have to be a "Rebel Girl" to love Bikini Kill, but all good punk rock ladies do.

1. Sleater-Kinney
Before she was famous for being hysterical on Portlandia, Carrie Brownstein was injecting the rock world with some of the greatest riot grrrl riffs ever recorded. Fuck riot grrrl, Sleater-Kinney just totally owns whatever the subgenre. These punk rock baes are pure perfection. Their music is hard-hitting yet sensitive, their vocals are unique and powerful, their lyrics righteous and modernly poetic. If you know a young girl, give her a Sleater-Kinney CD. We could listen to them all day, and honestly, we think that's what we're going to do.

Connected sporting goods are nothing new, and Wilson's a smart basketball that tracks every shot you take on the court is adding to the fray. The Wilson X, which was first announced last year, uses an embedded sensor to tally makes and misses in real time alongside a companion app for iOS devices While it'll only play nice with Apple gadget right now, it'll be available for Android this fall. The mobile software also offers four modes for shooting drills. There's a Buzzer Beater mode that offers the challenge of making the game-winning shot as the clock winds down, for example. Wilson says that this high-tech ball and app combo is made for shooters as it isn't designed to track shots within seven feet of the basket.

Water-resistant, Not Waterproof
First, lets clear up one thing. These phones arent waterproof, they are water-resistant. The difference is vast in pedantic definitions (where jargon like Ingress Protection comes into play), but in real-world usage, water-resistant is good enough. What water-resistant means is that the phone will not be on the fritz if you happened to use it in the rain, dropped it in the pool, or accidentally spilt a drink on it. But you cant go snorkeling with it or leave it under a waterfall for hoursthose things would require waterproofing.
Theres an aura around the term waterproof that makes the consumer believe the phone is capable of more than it is. It only means you can reasonably expect it to survive damage, provided you arent the one causing damage intentionally. For example, if your phone were to drop in that pool, you wouldnt leave it there, youd dive in to fetch it. But if you think you can drop your phone into the deep end and find it working after hours, think againthats not what waterproofing in phones is.
There are also caveats to all the phones when it comes to water resistance. For instance, with the Sony Xperia Z1, Z2 or the Samsung Galaxy S5, the company notes that you need to have the port flaps sealed, otherwise the protection doesnt count.
Its not yet the feature you buy a phone for
What all this adds up to is that waterproofing in smartphones is not yet the main reason to buy the device. Its a nice feature to have in a device, but its not robust enough to take on any water damage either.
The bigger reason, of course, is that theres a lot more to any smartphone than waterproofing. You need a great screen, you need good battery life, you need it to have smooth performancethose are the things that matter a lot more in everyday usage than a phone that will be fine in case you spill coffee on it.
But its the feature to differentiate with
However, if two phones are on par in those basics, then water resistance is the best feature to differentiate them by. A 2012 study by Kelton Research found that 29% of smartphone users damaged their phone by spilling a drink on itwater damage in regular usage is a real threat. So if youre plonking down tens of thousands of rupees for a phone, it only makes sense that you get one that is going to withstand these common accidents better than one without water-resistance.
The key here is to first have two phones that are on par. For Rs 18,000, the Wickedleak Wammy Passion X is simply not worth it. For Rs 14,000, the Moto G offers similar water resistance and is a far better phone. Or even in the higher end, between an LG G2 and a Sony Xperia Z1, if you find both phones to be on par in most aspects, then grabbing the Xperia Z1 would make more sense since it is water resistant.
So is waterproofing the main feature to look for in a smartphone today No. The regular featuresscreen, battery, performancematter more. Water resistance in phones is worth the peace of mind, but its not worth anything more than that.

As part of Metro's annual sex issue, we explore today's hottest sex trends both locally and nationally. For more of this year's theme — kink — check out our 2012 sex poll and an interview with E.L. James herself.
With its bedroom banter, bondage scenarios and detailed explanations of what goes where, "50 Shades of Grey" has gone from a cultural must-read to the book your mother-in-law brought on vacation. With the initial hype dying down, what will be the long-lasting impact?
Expect an era where women can be more open than ever about what they enjoy in the bedroom — often taking charge of the fantasies themselves — according to experts. Sarah Forbes, a curator with the Museum of Sex in New York, says that she has observed more women writing erotic fan fiction online (which is how "Fifty Shades" began, as a "Twilight" spinoff). She chalked it up to women, more than men, needing to be stimulated mentally as much as physically. Writing about sexual daydreams or drawing sensual fan art can be an erotic experience. The success of "Fifty Shades" legitimized the form.
"It can just be fun and playful," Forbes says of using erotica as a creative outlet. "It lets people create a relationship with these icons of our popular culture."
Sex therapist Wendy Maltz points out that society has been "very repressed and uncomfortable" about the topic of sexuality, so fan fiction is a way to lighten the mood. It can open up discussion about people's
real-life likes and dislikes, but this is only the starting point.
"There is a lack of healthy direct discussion about sexual issues," Maltz says. "There is a difference between what are the real needs sexually for men in the general population and the more sensational extreme presentations that come out and are put into the mainstream pop culture and are not representative of real satisfaction to people in the long run."
You now have 'permission'
The experts we spoke to recommended defining yourself against these forms of media, rather than being defined by them.
Dr. Stephen Snyder, a sex specialist and sex therapist, has seen an increased openness among women to explore their sexual sides. "Fifty Shades of Grey" has given women "permission" to explore explicit sexual fantasies, he says. The book might even improve your relationship, with a catch: "We'd probably need the men to read it too," Snyder says. "There's much that men can learn from Christian Grey about what women need, such as [expressing] his desire for his partner in words."

|McDonald's Thailand Minion Potatoes - June 2017

|McDonald's Thailand Receipt - June 2017
Last Thursday, McDonald's Thailand started quietly promoting their new "Minions" items on their various social media pages. I think I saw one of the films on a plane a few years back, but I don't really have any feeling for these characters, so the branding did nothing for me. The two items which clearly stood out in the sea of drinks and ice cream options, were the Spicy "Bellow" Burger, and Minion Potatoes. Since moving to Thailand in 2015, promo burgers have been pretty non-existent, or repeatedly bringing back something I've had before. I've tried reviewing all the sides they've run over the last couple years, but my last actual burger review was from a short-lived, black-bunned, Pork Burger in late 2015! I have a 3 week trip starting next week, and I didn't want to risk missing these items, so I insisted that The Wife and I try it over the weekend.
|McDonald's Thailand Minion Potatoes

|McDonald's Thailand Minion Potatoes Filling
I'll start with the Potatoes, as aside from their appearance, there wasn't that much to them. They were served 6-to-a-box, and from what I could tell, if you didn't order one of the two "Yellow Mania" sets, either with the burger I had, or one with some fried chicken, rice and a Happy Meal bundled together, you couldn't order them ala carte in the restaurant. However, I did notice that McDelivery had a promotion that if you ordered over 300THB of any other food, you could get these for free.
Since McDonald's Thailand handles their social media exclusively in Thai and Spicy Bellow Burger wasn't even mentioned on their official website, I went into the burger completely dark without any idea what to expecting. I could assume "Bellow" was supposed to be a play on Yellow, as you could also see bit of a yellow sauce in the promo photo of the burger.
In my first bite, I had a big mouthful of Chicken, and could taste the chilli sauce more than anything. My chicken was fresh, and actually surprisingly meaty, and not that oily which is a common complaint of mine when I get thigh meat. The meat itself was seasoned just like the McSpicy patty, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was the same. The sauce was decently spicy as well, and although sticky, it didn't really taste all that sweet and wasn't a typical Thai Sweet Chilli sauce, which was a nice change. It actually reminded me quite a bit of Korean spicy chicken sauce, and could even be considered a better effort than the Seoul Spicy I recently had in Singapore. In that first bite, I couldn't really taste the Yellow at all, The Wife had a bit on the side with a bit less chicken. She instantly called it out as Mango, to which I didn't really believe her at first - until I finally gave the sauce a smell... and it was indeed a Mango sauce!
I guess it was somewhat to be expected? The rest of the ice cream based Minion promos were Mango flavoured (the last film they were banana, but sadly no Banana Burger), but Mango was not something I expected at all on a Spicy Chicken burger. Unfortunately when I had my first bite that wasn't all chicken and finally got a taste of the mango sauce together with the rest of the burger, I wasn't really all that impressed by it whatsoever. The sweetness of the Mango didn't work well with the pleasant chilli sauce, and it certainly didn't work with the fried chicken. I tried one more bite and it actually became worse the more I ate (or at least the more I focused on it) so I ended up removing the bottom bun that had all the mango sauce on it and ate the chicken only with the plain top bun. McDonald's Thailand should just sell that spicy chilli sauce together with the chicken and brand it as their own McSpicy and they'd be all set.

Because the cause is unknown, there are currently no guidelines for reducing your risk of ]]>eczema]]>. Some studies, though, suggest that you may be able to reduce your child's risk by:
- Breastfeeding
- For bottlefed infants, using a certain kind of formula—Ask the doctor if your baby should have 100% whey protein formula (eg, Nestle Good Start)
- Exposing your child to pets at an early age
- Having your child eat fish at an early age (before nine months)
As the understanding of the condition grows, your doctor may have more information regarding steps for reducing your risk of eczema.
If you have eczema, you may be able to control the onset of an eczema outbreak by controlling certain triggers. For tips on controlling outbreaks, see ]]>Lifestyle Treatments for Managing Eczema]]> .

Aug. 16 (UPI) -- New research suggests the soil microbiome on the National Mall was mostly unaltered by the recent multiyear turf restoration project.
Last year, the final stages of the equivalent of a massive skin graft were completed on the National Mall.
By the end of the last decade, the nation's most famous grass corridor -- sandwiched by Smithsonian museums and bookended by the U.S. Capitol and the Washington Monument -- was in decay. It was too late for traditional lawn care methods. A full restoration was in order and dying turf was removed on a section-by-section basis. The soil was reengineered and fresh, healthy sod was shipped in from New Jersey.
The years-long effort offered scientists with the USDA's Agriculture Research Service a chance to study microbial communities in National Mall's soil.
"We thought that the new 'imported' turf from New Jersey would introduce different communities of bacteria to the National Mall," researcher Jo Anne Crouch said in a news release. "However, we found that they weren't significantly different."
Crouch and her colleagues are keen on understanding the role of microbial communities in dictating turf health. A growing body of research suggests a dynamic and diverse gut microbiome is essential to human health. And dozens of studies have linked disruptions to microbial communities in the digestive tract to various health maladies. Researchers believe soil microbes are similarly important to plant health.
"Microbiomes offer a new and almost entirely untapped opportunity to influence interactions among plants and microbes to improve plant productivity and health," Crouch said.
Scientists published their analysis of the National Mall's soil this week in the journal Crop Science.

Tuesday 10th February was Safer Internet Day
In support of our Safer Internet Day, please complete our survey below.
All information is given annonymously and will be used in class discussion.
Create your free online surveys with SurveyMonkey , the world's leading questionnaire tool.
The wellbeing and safety of the children at Borden is at the heart of the philosophy of our school. We use modern technology on a daily basis and recognise that the internet has given us a platform for learning that would not have seemed possible twenty five years ago but we are ever aware that it also has the potential to cause harm.
A thing to use or a place to hang out?
For most young people the internet is not a thing it is a place that allows them to contact friends or connect with other people at any time of the day or night.
So what is Cyberbullying? – A definition
Cyberbullying is bullying behaviour that takes place via mobile phone or over the internet through emails, instant messaging and social networking websites. Texts, messages or images are sent or posted on sites, which hurt, intimidate or embarrass another person. Cyberbullying is not carried out face to face and people often don't know the identity of the person targeting them.
Home or School?
As it isn't confined to a place or time of day if bullying occurs it isn't like bullying behaviour at school where messages were written on toilet walls or school books, it follows the victim to a place where they should feel safe – home.
How can we keep our children safe?
We do not allow children to have personal mobile phones, laptops, tablets or electronic games platforms in school.
All staff at Borden school receive regular training in e safety matters and how to deal with issues that may arise. We have an Acceptable Use Policy for staff and visitors which must be adhered to and a clearly defined protocol to deal with e safety and cyberbullying issues involving children.
We also have a carefully planned and structured programme of lessons from Year R to Year 6 that aim to address safe and responsible use of technology whether it is mobile phones, the internet or social networking sites.
All the children are taught about the dangers of giving out personal information and to NEVER arrange to meet someone they have befriended online no matter how nice they may seem.
We have strict filtering in place at school which prevents internet access to social networking sites and forums but we also teach the children how to respond to anything that they may find upsetting, confusing or frightening while using the internet. All laptops have a Thinkuknow safety button (Hector Protector, a blue swimming dolphin) that the children can click on. This covers the screen with a screen saver while the children ask an adult for help. This is available for download by parents too just follow this link http://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/5_7/hectorsworld/Hectors-World-Safety-Button1/
At home talk to your child about acceptable use of the internet and mobile phones. Decide upon when and for how long they can use the internet or a mobile phone. Explain to them their rights and responsibilities when using new technologies. Make sure you use safe internet browsing settings on PCs, laptops and tablets. But don't under estimate the most powerful resource of all – SUPERVISION by a responsible adult!
Many internet and mobile phone providers will provide advice and free internet filters. If you use BT you can download BT Family Protection which allows you to block inappropriate websites, set limits for time online, control social networking, filter YouTube content and review online usage reports and set up alerts. Orange mobile have advice and resources available to their customers as have many of the other mobile phone and internet companies.
Want more information or resources?
· Watch the website and the newsletter for details of class assemblies on safety and cyberbullying this term.
Look out for the Parents Evening presentations.

Craigslist Guidelines
Prior to posting an advertisement on Craigslist, you must read and agree to the terms of use. The terms of use set forth guidelines to keep everyone using Craigslist safe, and to stop illegal use. It is your responsibility to remain up to date on Craigslist's guidelines before you post an advertisement.
Posting Frequency
Craigslist specifies that you may post only one advertisement in your location, in each category, every 48 hours. This guideline is meant to prevent a spammer from posting the same ad in multiple categories or cities within a short period of time. Sticking to one post in one category cuts down on excessive posting.
Posting Agent
Craigslist does not allow you to act as a posting agent -- meaning that you can't accept money to post advertisements for another person or company. Anything that you post on Craigslist must be your own posting. Posting on behalf of someone else is not allowed unless you have explicit permission from Craigslist.
Prohibited Content
Craigslist does not allow you to post any content that solicits illegal activity, or any pornographic content. You must not post any harassing, unlawful or discriminatory content. While using Craigslist, you must adhere to the Fair Housing Act if posting in the housing or rental sections, and your local and Federal employment laws if you are posting an ad regarding employment.
The only section of Craigslist that allows solicitation or promotion of a business is the "Services" section. Therefore, you can't post advertisements or links to your business or service anywhere else on the site. You are also not allowed to email posters advertising your business.

May 25, 2014 (Sunday)
I was in the garage when I heard it, a loud buzzing hum. I'd never seen one or heard one before, but for weeks I've known it was coming. Blue hive had given clear indication and all the time in the world to prepare. Our first swarm…just like the videos. A massive cloud of bees leaving the hive and traveling to the highest tree branch they could find (little buggers!), about 40 feet up onto a branch that appeared unreachable. They gathered into a large clump, at least 5 lbs of bees, then quieted down and just hung there, leaving me staring in amazement of what just happened, excitement at the prospect of collecting my first swarm, and confusion because I had no idea how we were going to get them down. In the meantime, the hubster is freaking out because he thinks the neighbors might see the bees and call the exterminators, or animal control, or some local authority. The fire department with those long truck ladders would be perfect, I thought. I had no contraption prepared, no bait trap made. Shame, shame, shame on me.
Swarms are common in hives that have successfully made it through the winter. It means they're healthy and productive. They build up fast, become congested, and the queen leaves the hive with half the colony. It's not a bad thing, unless the beekeeper can't retrieve and rehive them. Swarms will stay in place for minutes, hours, even days. It depends on how long it takes the scout bees to find a new location. They're actually very docile because they no longer have a home to protect. Thinking they'd stay put til at least late afternoon, we carried on and planned to deal with them later.
We were expecting my in laws for lunch. They arrived around 11 am, within 15 minutes after the swarm occurred. Our visitors left about 2 hours later and the hubster made a light speed trip to get supplies for devising a bucket conduit. I was supposed to watch the bees. 5 minutes after he left, the swarm began to stir, and instead of watching, I reacted by running to the garage for who knows what…A bait trap?…A bucket? I came back and they were gone. Ugh!!! I had no idea where they'd gone.
What a disappointment. I was angry at myself for knowing it was coming and not having a plan – hard lesson learned. However, I was glad we got to see it, that we weren't at work when it happened, and that we knew it had happened. Timing is everything with these girls. They do what they want, when they want. Heading them off comes with knowledge and experience. I have a long way to go in that department.
The hubster returned with his conduit contraption…just incase. I walked the yard, listened for nearby screams from terrified neighbors…nothing, nada, all those bees were gone. At least that's what we thought…
