Economics Symposium Showcases Female Leaders in the Field
The underrepresentation of women in economics has been an ongoing issue in the field and has affected the participation, opportunities and success of the next-generation of aspiring female economists. Breaking the barriers that prevent women from succeeding in large numbers in the field is a challenging endeavor and the Women in Economics Symposium hosted by the St. Louis Fed is making it happen.
"It is important that young women who are pursuing degrees in economics hear from women in the field about opportunities and challenges," says Mary Suiter, the St. Louis Fed's economic education officer and an assistant vice president. "And it is crucial that these young women bring their perspectives, ideas, and talents to a profession that is still largely dominated by men."
The symposium, which took place on February 22 and is the first in St. Louis' history, presents research and analytics on women in the field, panels with women from various careers who majored in economics, and distinct viewpoints from pioneers in the field. The Wilson Center for Innovation & Leadership helped 10 students attend the symposium along with 2 faculty member.
Speakers included Mary Daly, executive vice president and director of research at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco; Claudia Sahm, section chief, consumer and community development research at the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; and Ellen Zentner, managing director and chief U.S. economist at Morgan Stanley.
Countering Imposter Syndrome
According to many of the students, perhaps one of the most memorable moments during the symposium was Mary Daly's talk, where she spoke about the pervasiveness of women experiencing imposter syndrome in the field. Imposter syndrome is a false and sometimes paralyzing belief that one's successes are the product of luck or fraud rather than ability. When women internalize this attitude, it hinders their professional self-esteem and broadens the gap that imposter syndrome slips right through.
"Mary spoke about her untraditional path to economics and how many women will, at times, feel imposter syndrome," Emily Stevens '18, an economics major, writes. "To combat the negativity of women doubting themselves, Mary continuously reminds her women coworkers to be proud of the value they add. I want to follow Mary Daly's advice and let other people know that they deserve to be where they are, doing what they are doing."
Echoing Stevens, Terran Mott '20, a mathematics major, was particularly inspired by Mary's authentic, powerful, and comfortable delivery of her speech during the symposium. "I think what most impressed us about Mary was the ease with which she commanded the room. Mary delivered a complex, encouraging, and inspirational message while all the while showing us that she was a friendly and inviting person," Mott recounts.
Learning about the prevalence of imposter syndrome among female economists — even those at the upper echelons of the — allowed students to recognize their own prejudices and ultimately empowered them to educate their female peers. "Grinnellians, especially Grinnellian women, often doubt themselves," Stevens points out. "The symposium last weekend inspired me to lead by helping others understand their contribution and inherent worth in a field that sometimes fails to recognize them."
"We all took the first step of being more cognizant of the bias in ourselves and learning to cope with this untrue feeling. This will help us take the leadership role more often in life, as we know that we are truly worthy of our roles," Christine Rains '18, an economics and Spanish double major, writes.
The Importance of Mentorship and Modelling
In addition to hearing other keynote speakers apart from Mary, students engaged with over 100 female students from the Midwest and participated in various workshops and engagement sessions throughout the symposium.
Overall, the symposium provided an inclusive, diverse, and reaffirming environment where students could receive support from their peers and network with potential mentors with wide-ranging backgrounds from the field and industry. Most importantly, the symposium strengthened students' confidence to embrace the challenges associated with leadership.
"This symposium was valuable to me because it gave me the opportunity to think critically about improving my own leadership skills," Mott explains. "After meeting so many powerful, practiced female leaders, I've realized that there are plenty of things I can do in the next few years to learn the things that they have mastered."
Adding to Mott's insight on the importance of having had the opportunity to interact and engage with female leaders at the symposium, Yufei Wang '18, an economics and Spanish double major, explains the gap between theory and praxis in leadership; specifically, she explains how this gap was narrowed by the symposium.
"Female leadership in the field of economics and in business has always inspired me. Prior to the symposium, this leadership remained mainly theoretical, not purely so, because of access to stories and news of successful women entrepreneurs and research papers published by women in academia, but mainly so, because a separation still exists between you and the inspiration you get from simply stories and news," Wang explains.
"The Women in Economics Symposium allowed me to witness and experience firsthand leadership, specifically, female leadership. To read about what's possible is nice, but to witness what's possible right in front of you engages you in a completely different way," she adds. "I hope one day that these women-specific conferences — while still impactful and educational — won't be as necessary, because women leaders in economics have become so prolific that there's no urgent need to hold special events to specifically empower women. I'd like to help make that a reality."
The Wilson Center seeks to inspire and prepare students as innovators and leaders through courses, personal development, and events that emphasize experiential learning.

Deal or No Deal Glossary09/03/2016
After 10 years and nearly 3,000 shows, we've developed our very own Deal or No Deal lingo. Do you know your 'Newbie' from your 'Death Box'? Here's our glossary:
1p Club – This is a select group led by Nick Bain, who became the founding member when he left the show with the lowest number on the board – 1p.
1p Dance – When a player on the wings opens his/her box and it contains the 1p, it is now considered tradition for the contestant playing to dance with that player to celebrate.
22, The – This is the exact number of players that line up in every Deal or No Deal, and so represents the number of money amounts in each game.
£500,000 – With the introduction of Box 23, there is a potential £500,000 to be won in every game, although no one has won it yet!
'All or peanuts' game – How Noel describes a game which only has one substantial sum of money left on the board.
Banker, The – The omnipotent, enigmatic figure without whom, he would have you believe, there is no Deal or No Deal. And he's probably right.
Banker's Power 5 – The bottom five amounts on the board – 1p, 10p, 50p, £1 and £5
Barge, 1p – The current home of the 1p club – Their former home was a caravan and prior to that a phone box
Big One– The largest amount of money that any player can have in their box (£250,000). Strangely, the Big One is not necessarily the reason that everyone plays the game. Many contestants set their sights much lower. However, for The Banker, this is his precious baby and he fiercely guards it round the clock.
Big Winners – These are the people who have done the most to disprove the myth of invincibility that The Banker likes to surround himself with, for they have won £35,000 and over.
Blues Cruise – They do say that taking a cruise is good for one's wellbeing, and in Deal or No Deal, a Blues Cruise can make a player very happy indeed. It involves opening a bunch of blue numbers in succession, thereby getting rid of a lot of low amounts and leaving the player with an improved chance of a high win.
Board – This is the large, illuminated sign that shows all the amounts of money that are on offer, It marks a player's progress as they knock different amounts off the board.
Box 23 – You can use your winnings to buy Box 23, which will contain one of these options: '+£10,000', 'Double', 'Money Back', 'Half' and the dreaded 'Nothing'. Players have used Box 23 to save themselves from a blue win but thousands of pounds have also been lost.
Capsule – The Banker places his opening offer into the capsule, which gets sent to Noel through a plastic tube called the 'loot shoot'. Once the player makes his/her offer prediction, the capsule is opened to reveal the offer.
Cat flap – A "letterbox" at the bottom of the board when the £500 and £100,000 have been removed, or other symmetrical amounts.
Climax– When the player is left with just two boxes in play.
Confetti – When a player wins the £250,000 jackpot, it is celebrated by lots of colourful confetti raining down from the ceiling of the Dream Factory.
Crazy Chair– Noel's name for the stool the contestants are offered at the beginning of a game. Some players use it as a vague base from which they prowl around the set. Noel named it the Crazy Chair because, like the driver's seat in a car, once certain people are in it, they go a little mad and are no longer the person they seemed to be.
Curse of the Newbie – Newbies are considered to be a curse by many players after their tendency to reveal a large amount on their first show.
Daddy – See Mummy
Damage limitation territory – A phrase used by Noel when a player has most of the big numbers, and is now trying to hit some blues to improve their chances of landing a good offer from The Banker.
Double Trouble – The name given to special weeks which has seen couples, grandparents, parents and siblings join forces to battle The Banker.
Dream Factory – The studio where dreams are made and dashed. The production hub for the show.
East Wing– Or the right hand side of the set where 11 players stand behind their boxes. [See also West Wing] Between filming, it has been known for banter to be fierce between the two wings as each show their true competitive nature.
Eight Box – The point in a game of Deal or No Deal when the player has eight boxes left in play.
Five Box – The point in a game of Deal or No Deal when the player has five boxes left in play.
Governor, The (£26,000) – Also known as Old Faithful, this is one of The Banker's favourite amounts to offer players and has made many people deal in the past. It's resulted in many victories for The Banker.
Hotel – luxurious hostelry situated in the lush, rolling greensward of England where contestants get to stay together for as many weeks filming takes. The lucky so-and-sos even get to bring their family and friends to stay with them if they want. It is here that such great team spirit is forged that, as one contestant put it, it feels as if you're at a family wedding. Indeed, it is sometimes said that no one ever wants to leave.
Independent Adjudicator– The only person who knows where the money is.
Letterbox – See "catflap".
Live Play / Active Play – When a player has yet to accept a deal, their game is still in live play
Mega-Money – A term used to describe large red wins.
Mug, The – Because nothing beats a nice mug of tea in the afternoon, contestants get a huge mug with a question mark on the front, and something else on the bottom, when they fancy a cuppa.
Mummy and Daddy – Roles given to one female and one male contestant at any time, with responsibilities such as welcoming the new contestants etc.
Newbies – Every few days, three new contestants are introduced into the remaining members of the original 22 after the three players go out. These are the 'newbies' and everyone's really nice to them, as you'd expect.
Noel's Book – At the beginning of the show, contestants are often asked if they want to write down the sum they hope to take away with them in Noel's book. Sometimes this is shown to The Banker, which of course can increase tension – he might offer them something just over their sum, for instance, to tempt them away from what might be a much bigger sum still on the board. Who said everything in life was fair?
One-box game – A game where only one significant value remains, or where the gap between the highest amount and the next highest is very large.
Offer Button – A blue button position on the pound table, which can be pressed at any time during the game. When pushed, The Banker must immediately call to make an offer.
Offer Prediction – After the first five boxes are open, Noel invites the player to make an offer prediction. If the player successfully predicts the opening offer (within 10%) they gain a one-time use of the Offer Button.
Old Faithful – See The Governor
OHO – an abbreviation for 'Only Here Once', which is applied to players who go all the way in despite of The Banker's offers.
Pilgrims – Audience members.
Pound Table– The table at which the player perches or stands as they play the game, and to which Noel comes, goes and leans. So far no one has seen fit to actually pound on the table, but it can only be a matter of time…
Power Five– The top five sums of money that can be won by a player – in ascending order, they are £35,000, £50,000, £75,000, £100,000 and £250,000.
Prove-out – After a player has dealt, they play the remainder of their game hoping to find the large reds, to prove they have done a good deal.
Quickie – When the player chooses three boxes very quickly and they are opened very quickly.
Red Run – A Deal or No Deal equivalent of the Spanish bull run, where the player is left feeling gored and dazed by a high number of reds revealed in sequence. Poor Nick got 8 in a row, and ended up founding the 1p Club [see above].
Safety Net – What Noel usually calls a good number of reds still on the board as the game progresses. A decent number of reds in middle rounds increases the chances that the player will knock out the blues before they're gone.
Spank The Banker – A term given when a player beats The Banker by taking the maximum amount of money out of the game.
Sting in the Tail – When the last box opened in a round contains a large or key amount for the board.
Swap– The Banker can offer to swap one numbered box for another, usually but not always at the end of the game, or perhaps earlier if the player has unwisely professed a preference for a number. The Swap is a perfect example of how The Banker's twisted brain works when he wants to turn the screws on some poor player. They have to decide whether to swap or not…
Sweep – When the player asks the advice of the other contestants, one by one, standing behind the wings.
Walk of Wealth – That 'ready for my close-up Mr DeMille' moment when, after the 22 players have filed in and are standing behind their boxes, the spotlight focuses on 'The One'. The player who is chosen then walks the 'Walk of Wealth' down to the 'Crazy Chair' as the applause envelopes them, the lights reflect from their shining eyes and they know that it's their show, their time, their moment…!
West Wing–It's the line-up of the 11 contestants who stand on the left-hand side of the studio, opposite the East Wing [see above].

Helping the bees
Honey bees have seen a decline over the last couple of years and with all the years of bee-keeping knowledge between us, our little bee friends remind us that slight changes in the climate incredibly effect their pollination performance. So with never ending research and a lot of care, we respect our bees for their immense hard work to provide us with that spoonful of honey for our porridge, yoghurt, toast or scone.
We as farmers place our bees on flowering crops. You as gardeners could really help the bees too.
At certain times of the year the bee's need more help…
When we have "the midsummer gap", usually during the month of June there is little forage about when the honey bee colonies are at their biggest and hungriest. Any flowers, in bloom, that you have planted in the garden during this gap will really help.
Spring is the time when the colonies build up their numbers again; they will need pollen to feed their new brood. Crocuses provide a great supply of pollen.
Once the summer flowers have past, flowering Ivy provides fantastic nectar from September onwards.

Rescuers are racing against the clock to reach survivors trapped under the rubble of a school in Mexico City which collapsed during Tuesday's earthquake.
One of them, a 13-year-old girl, is believed to be sheltering under a table, officials told the BBC.
At least 21 children and five adults died when the primary school collapsed and many others are missing.
The school was one of dozens of buildings toppled by the quake. So far 230 people are known to have died.
President Enrique Peña Nieto has declared three days of mourning for the victims.
As rescue operations continued for a second night, attention was focused on the Enrique Rébsamen primary school, in Mexico City's southern Coapa district.
With anxious parents gathered outside awaiting news of missing children, civil protection volunteer Enrique Gardia announced that...Read more...

The word flu is often applied to anything that makes us feel unwell. Flu (more accurately called influenza), however, is a specific infection caused by the influenza virus. Children of all ages are susceptible and the attack rate for influenza is highest in children. In older children and teenagers, the flu begins with a sudden onset of chills and fever, headache, body aches, sore throat and a dry hacking cough. The worst of the illness lasts for three to four days. The cough and tired feeling may go on for a week or more.
Preschool children tend to have an illness more like a severe cold. They have a high fever (often over 103°F, 39.5°C), runny nose and cough. They may be irritable and have a poor appetite, and some develop a hoarse cry and a barking cough (croup). Diarrhea and vomiting may also occur. Young children usually feel better in three to five days, although a cough may linger for one to two weeks.
Not all flu is severe. Even in the same family, one child may be very sick while another has only a mild illness with a mild cough, but no fever.
The answer is not clear. It may be that viruses spread more easily with people being so close together indoors during the winter.
There are two main types of flu: influenza A and influenza B with several subtypes. During the flu season, most cases in Canada are due to influenza A.
The common cold is also a viral infection. It can result in a runny or stuffed up nose, sore throat, hoarse voice and sinus pressure. A cold is usually of short duration, lasting less than two weeks and does not have the severe symptoms that may accompany influenza. However, mild cases of influenza may resemble a cold.
If the disease comes on quickly, is not too severe and resolves in one to two weeks it is usually the common cold. Fever and more severe symptoms, especially muscle aches and cough, suggest the flu.
A cold can be mistaken for hay fever (allergy) or bacterial disease such as a sinus infection or strep throat. The differences are that allergies usually recur and can last for an entire season. Strep throat causes soreness in the throat and neck glands but spares the nose and chest. Sinus infection symptoms include green nasal discharge and pain or tenderness often in the cheeks or upper teeth. In children, there is often a worsening of the condition one week after a cold starts. When this happens parents often notice foul smelling breath and cough.
You should call your family doctor if you feel worried about any aspect of your child's illness. Call the doctor immediately if your child:
Outbreaks of flu usually begin abruptly. As the disease spreads through communities, the number of cases peaks in about three weeks and subsides after another three or four weeks. Twenty to 50 per cent of a population may be affected with the highest rate of illness in five to 14-year-olds. Schools are an excellent place for the spread of flu viruses. Families with school-age children have a higher rate of infection than other families, with an average of one-third of the family members infected each year.
Besides the rapid onset of outbreaks and the large numbers of people affected, flu is important because of the serious complications that can develop. Most people who fall ill recover within a week. However, for elderly people, newborn babies, and people with certain chronic illnesses, flu complications can be life threatening.
A vaccine to prevent flu is recommended for children with special high risk conditions. If your
child has cancer or chronic disease of the heart, lungs, kidneys or nervous system, speak with your doctor to see whether it would be advisable to start yearly influenza shots. Flu shots are also often suggested for children with asthma, diabetes or anemia.
If anyone in your household is 65 years or older or falls into a high risk category, the whole family should receive flu vaccine yearly to reduce the chance that one of you will carry the virus home .
The flu is highly contagious and spreads so rapidly that it is difficult to stop. Older children should be taught to cover their mouths and noses when they cough or sneeze. They should use tissues for cleaning their noses and wash their hands afterwards. Sick children should be kept away from elderly persons and anyone with a chronic illness.
The flu vaccine is in an inactive form, meaning it can not cause the illness. It provides defense by stimulating the immune system to create antibodies. These in turn prevent infection or reduce the severity of the illness. Since the immune system takes time to respond to vaccination, the vaccine should be given six to eight weeks before flu season begins. This allows time for antibodies to form.
The vaccine may cause side effects, especially in children who previously have not been exposed to the flu virus. The most common side effect in children and adults is soreness at the vaccination site. Others include fever, tiredness and sore muscles that may begin six to 12 hours after vaccination and last up to two days. People who have a serious allergy to eggs should not receive flu vaccine since egg protein may be present in the vaccine.
The anti-viral drugs rimantadine and amantadine (Symmentrel™) can also be used to prevent influenza A. Their use is for family members or close contacts of influenza A patients and by nursing home residents who have been vaccinated but need added protection. The drugs need to be taken for about six weeks during the flu season or may be used immediately after vaccination during a flu epidemic. They protect during the two to four-week period before antibodies develop from vaccination. Drugs are also used when the influenza epidemic is caused by virus strains other than those covered by the vaccine.
Flu complications (either accompanying or following the illness) can result from bacterial infections in the lower respiratory tract. Symptoms of bacterial complications usually appear after the flu patient starts feeling better. This brief period of improvement is followed by sudden high fever, shaking chills, chest pain with each breath, and coughing that produces thick, yellow-green sputum. Most people recover after treatment with antibiotics.
People who are seriously allergic to eggs should not receive flu vaccine since egg protein may be present in the vaccine Other complications of flu that affect children are fever-related convulsions, croup and ear infections. Newborns recently out of intensive care units have a particularly high risk.
The flu virus changes slightly every year. For this reason a yearly flu shot is recommended. Four or five times a century, however, the influenza virus may undergo a major change. This may result in the worldwide spread of a new virus. This situation is called a pandemic.
Canada has had a contingency plan for pandemic influenza since 1985 and it has been recently updated. Health Canada monitors flu annually from autumn to the following spring through the Laboratory Centre for Disease Control's influenza surveillance activities.
Once a child has the flu, treatment usually consists of resting in bed and drinking plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration. Medication such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen can relieve fever and discomfort. Acetaminophen can be given every four hours and ibuprofen every six to eight hours. Children with flu should not take aspirin. Antibiotics are not effective against flu viruses.
Flu usually takes away a child's appetite for the first few days. Encourage fluids, however, especially when fever is present. Any juice or soft drink your child likes is acceptable. Forcing fluids is not necessary.
Active play can make a cough worse. Although children generally restrain themselves quite well, quiet activities are recommended, especially at the early stages of the illness. The drug amantidine can be prescribed by your doctor to treat influenza type A viral infections. When taken within 48 hours after the onset of illness, it reduces the duration of fever and other
symptoms. This medication is not effective against influenza B infections. It is not recommended for children under one year of age.
Influenza A treatment with amantidine should be considered for children with underlying conditions that might lead to severe complications. Children who are otherwise healthy but have severe flu may also be treated. Treatment should be started as soon as possible after the onset of the illness and continued for two to five days or for one to two days after the child has recovered.
Children may return to their usual activities when their temperature is normal and they feel better. A lingering cough is not necessarily a reason to keep your child at home.

The back-end bricks can't exist without the front-end beauty, so that's where you come in. You're a designer crafting unbelievable website designs with vision and purpose. We are a small team of WordPress developers building efficient, reliable, smart websites. Together, we're a golden collaboration.
We're always on the lookout for talented designers to collaborate with on our custom websites. If that's you, please pop your details into our contact form below and introduce yourself! From there, we can pick up the phone and have a brief chat to see if our business processes and ideal clients match up.
Note: As of May 2019, we require designers to view our short webinar on how to design & prep files for WordPress. Check out more on our Education page.
After we've had a chance to chat and decide that collaborating is right for both of us, the fun begins! When you have a project in mind just email us with details of the client and project scope, or have your client fill out our Custom Themes contact form. From there, we'll connect with the client and ask a few introductory questions to assess their development needs while we look at all of our schedules to see if the project is a good fit.
We'll send the client a customized proposal with their full development scope, contract, invoice, overview of the payment plan and a link to clear the initial deposit. Typically, if this step is done right at the beginning of the design process (versus after the designs are completed) we're able to accomodate the development to begin immediately after the web design proofs are completed.
When the final design files are polished and prepped, you'll send them our way along with any functionality notes. We'll then set an official development start date and timeline with the client and begin developing their custom theme via a demo site on our private server. The client's second payment will also be due to us at this time, which we'll arrange with them directly.
Once the client's demo site is ready, it will be sent to you first for proof corrections and design detail finessing before we pass it over to the client for final approval. This stage gives you and the client a chance to click around the site as if it were live to test the functionality on different browsers, provide feedback, ask questions, and prep the site for installation.
After the demo site has been finalized, we'll collect the final payment from the client and schedule an installation time and date that works well for all of us. During that time, we'll put up a simple customized landing page on the client's site, and when the install is complete, we'll email the client a personalized video walk-through of their shiny new site with directions on how to use it and make changes.

Her communication, attention to detail, professionalism and not to mention kindness exceeded my expectations. She works efficiently without letting any important details fall through the cracks!"
Every project is quoted specifically per project with the type of website, number of page templates, and overall functionality taken into consideration. Most of our projects fall in the $3,000-$5,000 range.
Every detail of each project will be thoroughly discussed with the client in our initial consultation and laid out very clearly in our development proposal. We look for complete agreement and understanding on both ends so they are no surprises, hiccups or misunderstandings along the way.
4-6 weeks is our typical jumping off point, but there are always exceptions to the rule with factors like:
— A very large or complex website.
— Lack of communication and/or feedback.
— Change in project scope (such as adding more pages or making major design changes after coding is complete).
— Failure to pay an invoice on time.
We don't like to put limitations on our designers. WordPress is a powerful platform so if you can dream it up, we can bring it to life (within reason of course!). While designing, if you're ever unsure of the capabilities of WordPress, just shoot us an email and we'll chat through the possibilities and options. We love pushing the envelope!
That's totally your call! We code a specific mobile stylesheet for every theme and are happy to accommodate your design for it if you have something specific in mind. Most designers do not include one, in which case we break the design down to mobile size based on what feels most natural.
Through past experience, we've found that having direct communication with the client is best for everyone involved. It's especially beneficial for long-term communication with the client when they need future maintenance and/or support after their site launches (i.e. it keeps you from being an unnecessary middleman).
We code exclusively for WordPress. For E-Commerce projects, we integrate WooCommerce or Shopify (via the Buy Button) into the WordPress platform.
We accept layered AI or PSD files. We also request sending a jpg of each page design so we can easily/quickly review everything and double check that we're coding the correct sizing for the site.
Note: As of May 2019, we require designers to view our short webinar on how to design & prep files for WordPress. Check out more on our Education page.
We are perfectionists and understand that something being "10px too far to the left" is totally a big deal. We always send the completed demo site to you first for proof corrections and design detail finessing before we reveal it to the client.
Shoot, so sorry! We are currently not accepting new collaborations because our calendar is packed full. We expect to be reopening spots for new collaborations in late fall/early winter 2020. Please check back!

Linda is great at therapeutic/sports massage – my job is high stress and my passion is tennis so I go to Linda so she can perform her magic and keep my body aligned and loose. She utilizes cupping in conjunction with massage to keep my muscles loose and joints flexible – with the use of the cups it truly is a deep tissue massage. I would recommend Linda to anyone who is looking for a great treatment whether you have a sports injury or not.
GM of The Rowan Palm Springs
I love love love Elizabeth's work!!! Her eyelash application is perfect and she really knows what she is doing. It literally didn't even feel like I had extensions on. I recommend her to the fullest! if you're ever looking to get a gorgeous set Elizabeth is your girl. I was new to lashes about three months ago, now I am addicted. I dont even have to put mascara anymore.
The atmosphere and place is so relaxing, intimate and all in all just so cute! Oh, and don't get me started on the beds... SO COMFY!
Best part of the whole experience was that you can truly tell that Elizabeth loves what she does and her passion truly shows in her sets! So in love and will always go back to see her.

I recently got a facial at Grounded Bodyworks with Stephanie. I was looking for something hydrating right before my wedding and Jenn (the lovely owner) recommended the Osea hydrating facial (I am sure that's not the exact name for the facial, perhaps that is the brand they use) and she was right—that is exactly what I needed before my wedding; something super hydrating and glowy that wouldn't irritate my skin or make me breakout which is normal after a regular facial.
After that I have been using Osea products in my daily routine because they are clean (they do not contain harsh chemicals) and the products actually work! They also have them for purchase as well, and I cannot wait to have another facial soon. I highly recommend it.

Everything about this business is stellar. The customer service was incredible, the staff were so kind, and the decor and cleanliness were also fantastic. I would come back here time and time again. I think the bar for customer service has been set so high I will probably be disappointed with everywhere else I go! Thank you for making our girls weekend special and memorable! So much love for this place!!!

Audrey is, simply put, the finest skin care technician I have had in 50 years of facial treatments including MIRAVAL - a resort where skin care is a religion!
Her knowledge of products and which will work for various skin types is as extraordinary as as her calming demeanor. She is a joy!
To add to this, she now is doing fabulous pedicures! Grounded Bodyworks is fortunate to have such a gem!

I am so happy to have discovered Grounded Bodyworks Studio for sugaring. After two rather disastrous sessions with two Coachella Valley spas who purportedly know how to sugar (spoiler alert: they do not), the third time has proven to be the charm. Stephanie did my sugaring and I can't be more pleased with the results! She really does meticulous work, and I happen to be extremely fussy. Thanks for doing such a great job! I will definitely be back to avail myself of your other spa services. Grounded Bodyworks has my highest recommendation.

I called this morning to schedule a Brazilian bikini wax and first I want to mention a real person answered the phone, very refreshing! She was very pleasant and helpful. She was able to get me in at 1:30 today. My Esthetician was Stephanie. She was fantastic! She listened to my concerns from past experiences at other places and addressed them. She also specializes in a "Sugar" method that I was not aware of and is now my preferred technique.
Will definitely be back. The spa was clean, inviting with knowledge and attentive staff. It also smelled wonderful.

Years ago, when I was still trying to hang onto hope, I did everything my OB/GYN suggested. One of those things was to take an injection that was available in a monthly or 90-day dose. I tried both doses. The medication was used to dissolve fibroids. It didn't do much for me. And unfortunately, one of the side effects of this medication was menopausal symptoms. I called it man-made menopause.
I had hot flashes, mood swings, depression, and sadness. But I believe the depression and sadness were mostly due to the drama of hanging on, buying time, while waiting to meet Mr. Right. I had considered IVF and I made two attempts at adoption. But I decided against IVF because it was too expensive and because my mom compelled me not to take that avenue.
But I was desperate. God was not answering my prayers. The prayers I sent up to him for more than a decade. I became so desperate that I begged him to forgive me for whatever sins I had committed. I asked him to forgive my family for any generational curses that were causing these cursed fibroids. I bargained with him. I begged him for a husband, I begged him for a child.
The silence was deafening. Sometimes I would feel Him impressing upon my heart that everything would be alright. But as far as I was concerned, it was not. I wanted a child. Nothing would ever be alright without a child.
Mr. Right never showed up, I never had the baby, and I ended up having to have a hysterectomy.
Now I am going through natural menopause. It is nowhere near as bad as the man-made menopause. I am not depressed and I am not having mood swings, but the incessant flushing is almost impossible to bear. It feels like salt is being rubbed into the wound. The wound of everything I endured. How many people do you know who have gone through menopause twice?
They say God will not give us any more than we can bear, but honestly, I believe that is just a saying.
I am not whining, because many people around the world, children, and adults alike, are enduring unbelievable grief and sadness. As a fellow human being, I think about people around the world on a regular basis. I think about childless women, I think about abandoned and enslaved children, and I wonder what I can do to make things better for them, for others.
The fact is, although my heart is broken, it is healing. Although nothing that breaks will ever be the same again; whether we are talking about broken china, a broken leg, or a broken heart. They will never be completely brand new. But they will be functional. And the level of functionality depends on use. We can walk on a leg that was broken after it is healed, and we should. Using the leg increases its functionality. We can use broken china after it is glued if only to put or keep it on display. We can function with a broken heart if we push through the hurt and help others. In each of those cases, a choice had to be made.
We have to choose to function with the broken heart. There is a lot to be done in this world. And I believe we can do our part broken and healed.

Lake Titicaca
Lake Titicaca lies at the northern edge of the Altiplano, straddling the Bolivia-Peru border. Its intensely blue water spreads over an area of some 58,000 sq km – an area larger than Switzerland – and is particularly striking viewed through the crystal sharp light of the Altiplano. The lake's mysterious, gemlike waters were sacred to many cultures. Lake Titicaca was the cradle of Andean civilisation and remains enduringly known as the birthplace of the Inca empire.
The lake's original name was Khota Mama ("Mother Lake"), and was only renamed Titicaca after the Spanish conquest. When viewed from the north, the lake's outline resembles the shapes of a puma, fish and man, forms also found in Peru's mystifying Nazca lines.
The lake has two sections: small and large. The smaller southern section is called Wiñay Marka ("Eternal City"), and is comparatively shallow. This has led to the legend of a city lying beneath the lake, which was strengthened in 2000 when the remains of a settlement and ancient temple were discovered beneath the lake's surface.
Lake Titicaca has 41 islands, many of which are populated. Small groups of Uru people still live on artificial floating "islands" made from matted totora reeds, and ply the lake's waters in traditional reed boats made of lashed-together bundles of totora.

Paralegals and legal assistants are essential to the smooth operation of a law practice or an organization's legal department. Trained in legal matters and procedures, paralegals complete a variety of substantive tasks including legal research and drafting of legal documents. Online paralegal programs prepare individuals for careers in the legal field and can even serve as a starting point for a career as an attorney. Paralegal online courses provide an affordable path toward earning a two-year degree and gaining the qualifications to work in a legal environment in the private, public, or nonprofit sector.
By completing online paralegal courses, you can take advantage of a comparatively cheap way to pursue your postsecondary education. A paralegal degree online program will also prepare you for certification through the National Certified Legal Assistant/Paralegal Examination. In a number of states, a paralegal is qualified to perform many of the same duties as an attorney (with the exception of practicing law). By providing a foundation in legal studies and real-world experience in the field, paralegal studies online programs can serve as a stepping stone on the path to a postsecondary degree. Law school functions as the final phase of obtaining a law degree and typically takes three years to complete. To get there, however, students must start somewhere, and an online paralegal program is a great first step.

The Importance of the Reading of the Epistle
Comments Off on The Importance of the Reading of the Epistle
So does everyone know that part of the liturgy where the singing stops and we all get to sit down for some rest before we stand for the gospel reading? This is actually a very important part of the service. During this portion of the service the reader will read the Epistle.
The Epistle readings come from the writers St. Luke the Evangelist (Acts), St. Paul (Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus, Hebrews), St. James, St. Peter (1,2 Peter), St. John (1,2,3 John) and St. Jude It includes a reading from every book of the bible minus the 4 Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) and the books of Philemon (St. Paul) and Revelation (St. John). Though I did not see the name Philemon on the lectionary of the Greek Orthodox Church, I had never heard that this is never used for an Epistle reading. Revelation has been a controversial book since it has been written and this is probably why it is never used.
Experienced followers of Christ wrote these letters to people in the Greek Orthodox Church, some specifically to certain individuals, others to specific churches, and others to the Church at a whole. We now read all of them written to the Church as a whole, aka all of us. This tradition of experienced followers of Christ and leaders of the Church continued. Encyclicals began to be written. In 367 AD, We see St. Athanasios of Alexandria wrote a Festal Letter concerning which books of should be considered scripture. This tradition continues, but not as scripture, but rather bishops send their greetings and their message to their parishes in encyclical letters.
Think of a time before the liturgy was set up with all the beautiful prayers, before the gospels were written and could be reproduced. It is this Church, pre-300s AD in which the Epistles became part of the liturgy. Liturgy consisted of a meal including bread and wine and letters from the Church's leadership be read. From what we have now, you almost have to think that the Church had many more of these letters, which for some reason have not made it through time. But to understand that more than 20 scrolls were preserved or remembered well enough to make it from 50 AD, through persecution and to the printing press in 16th century AD and now ultimately in many of our homes and at the touch of our fingers on the internet. That's a miracle my friends, that's a miracle.
In class someone asked why we sit during the Epistle and my professor of liturgics simply stated that in ancient time (and in modern times) when people spoke and taught, people sat. St. Paul in his letters is writing to US! So next time you go to church and are thanking God for the opportunity to sit down, remember you are sitting for a reason, not to lose attention but to listen and be taught.

Don Lapre: Death of a Salesman
Don Lapre was an interesting and tragic figure in American business. His incredible enthusiasm was contrasted starkly by the deep depression he suffered in his later years. Accused of marketing a scam of get rich quick schemes across the country, even after his death, he continues to be a divisive figure. Either you loved him or you hated him. Either "Don Lapre was the biggest con artist on the planet." – or "He sparked a dream in thousands of people." So, which is it? This article will briefly explore the life and troubles of this controversial man. In the end, I leave the final decision up to you.
Who Was Don Lapre?
You may remember Don Lapre, 'The King of Infomercials', from his late night tv commercials during the 1990s. Don became famous for his super exuberant personality, motivational speeches, and claims of making $50,000 per week by placing "tiny classified ads" in newspapers across the country – all from his "tiny one-bedroom apartment". Don Lapre's Making Money Secrets product package of books and videos became so well-known, he was spoofed on Saturday Night Live and even The David Letterman Show. In the early 2000s, he began selling a business model based around a product called The Greatest Vitamin In The World, wherein would-be business owners would purchase vitamins to re-sell for a profit. The Greatest Vitamin business model proved to be the final pitch for Mr. Lapre. In June 2011, he was charged with 41 counts of conspiracy, mail fraud, wire fraud, and promotional money laundering. In October 2011, he was found dead in his jail cell of an apparent suicide, just two days before his trial was set to begin. He is survived by a wife and two children.
Legal History to 2008
Before we talk about the sinner or sainthood of Don Lapre, it is important to discuss his history of legal troubles, which stem back to 1994, when he was forced to pay $45,000 in back taxes. In 1997, he was again fined for not paying taxes, and the IRS issued a lien against he and his wife for nearly $1 million. As the success of his Making Money infomercials dwindled late in the decade, he filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1999.
In 2004, he reappeared on the scene, selling The Greatest Vitamin In The World, but by 2006, the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) had warned him about the claims made in his new series of infomercials and advertisements. In them were suggestions that the vitamins would combat various diseases, which the FDA found to be unsupported. Under pressure of the FDA, The Better Business Bureau, and U.S. Postal Inspection of his product shipments, he closed the vitamin business in 2007. However, by 2008, consumer claims were surfacing, along with State charges that he was unregistered to sell these products in the first place. It wasn't until 2011 that the final legal charges were brought against him, including 41 counts of fraud.
2011 Legal Charges
The crux of the 2011 lawsuit was that consumers who purchased Don's Greatest Vitamin In the World did not make money as they were promised. Over 200,000 people had invested $51.8 million in the program, but only $6.3 million in total was generated for those clients. In response, a remoreseful Don posted a now-chilling message on his website, which said the following:
I tried to create the best product on earth, paid out millions, made very little trying to make it a success, had attorneys review my entire company, paid out millions in refunds, tried to make the commission and products better every single year, and in spite of all that, I have been accused of something I did not do. I did not have the perfect company but never once did I allow one thing to be done that would violate any law. Nevertheless, because the majority of people did not make money, in spite of everyone of them being able to make as many $1000 checks as they wanted, I am left to fight a battle that will for sure destroy what energy I have left inside.
In June 2011, he was arrested for failure to appear in court and jailed until his trial date in October.
My Experience With Don Lapre
Like many others, in the late 1990s, I saw Don Lapre's late night Money Making Secrets infomercial series, and I started to think about what it would be like to go into business for myself. Now, Don Lapre and I couldn't be more opposite personalities. In his business persona, he was energetic, eager to network, and a great talker. I am laid back, low key, and private. Still, his message of career independence spoke to me. So, I shelled out maybe $50 for the product kit, and anxiously awaited it's arrival. When I got it, there was a lot of various material to comb through, but the thing that stood out the most was a list of potential home businesses, along with the supporting materials for how to market that business. That's when I realized, "Oh! This whole thing is more about marketing an existing business", which was something I didn't have yet. Sure, at the time, I was a bit frustrated by the seemingly huge task ahead of me. You mean, I wasn't going to make money right away?! I was going to have to work for it?! Ugh. Later, the list of home businesses turned out to be great starting place for me. It pointed me toward my first home business venture, which lasted about one year. It wasn't some huge success, but I broke even, and I learned a lot along the way. I did not, however, blame Don Lapre because my business didn't take off. He sold me some tools, and it was up to me to do the building.
Over 10 years later, I am the owner of a small business that I consider quite successful, in that I have been self-employed for nearly 5 years. My final business model didn't come out of an infomercial, a book, or a video tape. It came out of my own personal passion and ingenuity, just like Don's. He was passionate about making money and pitching his products, so that was his business. I was passionate about arts and crafts, so that became mine. Two seemingly different personalities, one similar experience.
Was Don Lapre a Con Artist?
Where did Don go wrong? Well. First, he either didn't pay his taxes, or he didn't file them correctly. Second, his enthusiasm about the products outweighed their actual worth, causing consumers to feel ripped off when they didn't deliver all that was promised. There is a lesson here for all business owners. Play by the rules and err on the side of caution, or assuredly suffer the consequences.
So, was Don Lapre a bad person? Was he a scam artist? Did he knowingly sell 'get rich quick schemes' that had no hope of getting anyone rich? Perhaps only Don would know the answer to those questions, so the final opinion, of course, is up to you. For my two cents: I don't think he was any different than most of the Marketing and PR execs you'll find in any of the Fortune 500 companies today – except that Don Lapre was a self-made man. He didn't have an MBA. He didn't even have a high school degree! Perhaps his fatal mistake was in direct-to-public marketing of his own products, because if he were just another ad man, pitching for someone else's company, he would have walked away scott free with no liability whatsoever. Instead, he died alone in a jail cell, leaving behind a wife and two children, who are the real victims here. In the end, they lost something worth more than just a few "tiny" green pieces of paper.
Don's Death
The gruesome circumstances of Don's death in jail cannot be ignored, and the incident still raises questions in my mind. Certainly, the possibility of $500,000 in fines and 25 years in prison was weighing on his mind in those final moments. According to Federal Marshals, he slit his own throat with a razor blade, using sheets and cloths to hide it, so he had time to bleed out before being discovered. Unfortunately, this was not Don's first suicide attempt. Four months earlier, when he was arrested, police found severe cuts in his groin area, believed to be an attempt to cut his femoral artery. My question is: Knowing this information, why was he not put on suicide watch? Furthermore, how did he get a hold of the razor blade, and why did no one find it suspicious that his neck was wrapped in rags? Here's the kicker: When Don was taken into custody, he was on anti-depressant medication, which was taken away from him and switched to a different drug upon incarceration. After learning about this, Don's mother pleaded with his attorney to help restore the original medication, but it was too late. He was found dead soon after.
Many people will argue good riddance to the death of a supposed con man, but let's try keep in mind that Don was not convicted of these particular crimes. Every man deserves his day in court. In the United States of America, we have a presumption of innocence until proven guilty, and for whatever reason, Don did not receive (or accept) his opportunity. Of course, no one forced him to kill himself. However, in the wake of his death, there has been little sympathy for a man who's pursuit of financial gain is both praised and hated within his own society, sometimes in the same breath.
The Moral Of The Story
In my opinion, the moral of the story is this: "It's no trick to make a lot of money, if all you want to do is make a lot of money" (Citizen Kane). Whether we're talking about Don himself or the thousands of people who invested in his products, if making money is your end-all-be-all goal, it's not so hard to do. However, if you want to live a life that is full of love, respect, and honor, it may be a more challenging path. All things being equal, the pursuit of money is really just the pursuit of freedom – and freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose.

Article by Ali Puckett, Buttonhead
Do you think Don Lapre was a scam artist?
Don was a genuine, kind-hearted, hardworking and giving person who shared his tremendous enthusiasm and energy with those in his life.
Don inspired me to seek my own path in entrepreneurship rather than going the 9-5 route and I couldn't be more grateful for where that has led me.
If people understood half of the story of this man they would hold their tongues. The world truly lost a great person.
The criminal justice system in it's scapegoating does more harm than good.
Don's business was through media. High profile equals high scrutiny. He was a good man according to those who worked with him. I'm sure people both made and lost money with his products..welcome to life!! - welcome to investing!
I remember the "McMartin preschool trials"in the 80's. I think Don's situation was much the same- a little blood-devoured by sharks...BUT...we watched.
In years to come,as his children google,or whatever...I hope they find all the good things said about their dad. - I never bought anything off of him,but I almost did!!!!-He was that good!!!!!!!!!!
I think he was under so much stress...possible years in jail,millions in fines,public humiliation...he cracked.--I know how stressed I get from an unexpected medical bill...so I can see why he chose to leave. Imagine turning on the t.v. and all the news channels are talking about you....I know how I feel when I hear about what someone at work said about me...it hurts...and I'm a hardass! What would you do if it was on every news program that you MAY be a crook,thief scam artist. you MIGHT be. How many of you work in factories?-according to at least some of your co-workers you May be a -----whatever. How stressed would you be if it was announced all over t.v. internet?-continuously?
My opinion-A good man,business and personal problems. I'm so sorry for his family.
I wish more people understood that Don Lapre and his products were "entertainment" and nothing more. I honestly can say that I enjoyed tuning in late night watching his infomercials. I even bought the making money system, not because I knew I would soon be making 50,000 a week out of my parents house, but because I was curious to read the material as an "entertainment piece" and that's exactly what it was. People are too dumb thinking that mlm and pyramid schemes will make them rich..people should have know better. i saw Don as an "MLM cheesy entertainer" I loved his shows.
Thank you for this detailed article. I enjoyed Don's infomercials for many years. I ordered the Making Money package and I felt no deception from the materials. If I was more confident then his ideas would have all worked for me as outlined. I seem to remember feeling shaky about his vitamin commercial but I already liked the man and his energy. Governments and businesses lie all the time, but I believe Don Lapre was genuine about selling the dream of a better life. I will miss him and try to carry on his energy to benefit my own life.
The man was a con artist. Plain and simple. Go to RipoffReport and read all the complaints on how he stole people's money and refused to refund it. How could anyone sell a vitamin and claim that he cured cancer of other illnesses? The last thing this world needs is someone like this preying on the desperate
I have written and produced Infomercials for over twenty five years, since the inception of the business. Don was a great pitchman and his shows worked. That was his business.
I am very sorry to hear of his passing, he and his family deserved better.
My brother Don is still an inspiration to thousands of people today and many who are very successful and they have all said in their emails to our family that are still coming in, " And it's all thanks to Don Lapre" .
I did not know about Don Lapre until I read this hub. Thanks for this interesting bio.
I had not heard of this man before. Thanks for introducing me to him. I especially enjoyed your recollections of purchasing the package that came in the mail ten years ago. I am glad he did face charges as he did commit fraud. Wow the fame he had at his high point!
A sales man is considered as front-line soldier. That he must learn about the knowledge of raw-material to finish goods as well as legal constraint to expand business and convience consumers or investors.
If he is lacking these skills so he definite to be in the way of death of his business because he is not following the business ethics being salesman.
Kudos on this article. It's funny, it's late at night in May 2012, and i was thinking of Don Lapre while working on a marketing piece. I looked online in youtube and suddenly found out he was dead for the first time. Saddened. He inspired me back in the day to dream of entrepreneurship too. I was immediatley inspired to write about it on my blog and then I found your post. You said almost per word what i would have written even the Citezen Kane reference. Weird. Either great minds think alike or there is no such thing as coincidence. As a Marketer. I have learned that if you build your life on the public and their opinions, it will ruin you. People will always bring you down. You can never please them. Again Great Post. RIP Don. http://www.calientemix.com/wordpress2
No matter what you think of his ethics, he sounds like a fascinating person -- I remember his infomercials but never knew what happened to him until this hub. Voting this Up and Interesting.
What I would not give for an ounce of the energy Don Lapre projected. I don't know that he understood the effect of market saturation but that, combined with product bolstering, is what I see as his downfall. A fella might get rich harvesting beaver pelts but when the beaver are gone the dam breaks and the water runs out.
Thanks for writing this article. I didn't know Don Lapre but I voted for "No, he was not a scammer".
Inspiring enthusiasm indeed!
How interesting this has been to read. You put in a good effort here, thanks!
A sad loss of life!
The world truly lost a Great Human Being. What a crying shame.

BOUCHERVILLE, Monday, March 6, 2006 (QMJHL) – Forward Alexander Radulov of the Quebec Remparts and goaltender Alexandre Vincent of the Chicoutimi Saguenéens were named offensive and defensive players of the week for the period extending from February 27th to March 5th, 2006.
In four games, Radulov scored seven goals, including one game-winner, and notched six assists, while maintaining a +6 (plus/minus) differential. He started the week on fire, collecting five points in consecutive contests, both wins, against the Mooseheads last Tuesday and the Olympiques last Thursday. Then, the following night, in a 10-6 loss to the Huskies, he added two goals. Finally, versus the Foreurs, he registered an assist in a 6-2 win, thus prolonging his consecutive game point streak to 46, the second best mark in League history behind only Mario Lemieux (61, 1983-84, Laval). Radulov is first in the QMJHL in scoring with 135 points in 56 games this season.
Justin Munden (4-6-10) of Rouyn-Noranda, David Brine (3-7-10) of Halifax and Claude Giroux (1-7-8) of Gatineau were also considered.
The defensive player of the week award goes to Alexandre Vincent. In two games, the Chicoutimi goaltender collected two wins, while maintaining a 1.55 goals-against-average and a .948 save percentage. Last Friday at home versus the MAINEiacs, Vincent stopped 31 shots in a 5-1 win, earning the game's second star. Then on Sunday in Baie-Comeau, he made his fourth consecutive start for Head Coach Richard Martel, a 4-2 win. Those two points (94) enabled Chicoutimi to break their single season mark of 92 established in 1990-91. The Saguenéens, along with the Moncton Wildcats, have allowed the fewest goals of any team thus far this season (176 in 64 games).
Other players considered for the defensive player of the week award were defensemen Michal Sersen (3-3-6) of Quebec, Pierre-Marc Guilbault (1-2-3) of Shawinigan and Olivier Magnan (3-2-5) of Rouyn-Noranda.
