Here's what we were up to the past two months (other than fixing up our house and having another kid)
Reconnecting with Jason's cousins and their awesome kids when they stopped in Spokane during a massive summer road trip.
Home renovations with my parents --
The only way the wheel barrow would fit - on top of the car! And my Dad ... always working!
More afternoons enjoying our backyard.
And then, Mabel!
... getting to know grandparents and ...
Fall foliage coming on before even before my Mom left.
Mabel's first real bath -- not an immediate fan.
A few fun outings before my Mom left. Ferdinand's creamery on the WSU campus - amazing ice cream! And, a trip to our Moscow farmer's market.
Luke gets a little attention of his own -- being a big brother can be a bit unsettling with the shift of attention. We're fortunate to have many people who've remembered this and worked to make him feel special. It's really nice for him to have Jason's family so close. They've visited many times since we moved back, helping with house repairs, hauling things down to us and spending time with Luke.
Our first non-family guests -- friends from working in China that we hadn't seen in over four years. Kenshi & Richelle were on an incredible road trip and decided to stop in for a couple nights. It was awesome to reconnect with them after so long. Ken is a great cook and in China, he introduced us to a variety of home cooked Japanese cuisine. This visit was no different. He had come prepared to make Okonomiyaki -- a delicious savory pancake that we hadn't enjoyed since visiting Osaka.

Review. That is a huge key to memorization. But how? And that is a key question. The book of Matthew takes 3 hours, 55 minutes and 40 seconds to read. Yes, I timed it myself at a moderate speed of reading (If you want the list of minutes for each book, it is in the manual on http://www.hiswordproclaimed.com).
Specific Review: What I've learned about memorizing certain sections is that I may think I have it down perfectly, but when I type it in the Scripture memory software (memoryverses.org) I come up missing a lot more than I intended. I've learned using software like this is vital to accuracy.
Broad Review: So how do you review on a broad scale? Do I just pick a chapter or two here and review on occasion, or do I work on being able to recite the whole book at any time? It's not an easy question and it is one others are also asking who memorize great quantities. But if I look at my objective–the whole New Testament, I will have to move on to other sections and review on occasion. Ben Wilson who wrote "Thy Word have I Hidden in My Heart" (http://www.radicalword.org) encourages us that though we may forget, because of our usage of the Word in reading, meditation and prayer, as well as review on occasion, that the Word will get lodged in our brains. And again I come back to the fact that I've heard of prison stories where people in prison have been able to recall Scriptures that they only learned as a kid and had abandon since then. Somehow their mind was able to recall what they learned. So God has created our minds in a manner much more powerful than we realize. And so we go forward learning as we go.

text: By Signe You can find the operations of Danish clothiers By Signe in a cozy residential neighborhood of the seaside town of Frederikshaven, Denmark. Inspired by her yearning for the comfort of childhood clothing, the brand was founded by head designer Signe Roedbro just last year and operates with only a small team. With the intimate crew carrying out everything from design to debut under one roof, By Signe has mastered minimalist Scandinavian design and the Danish concept of hygge. Pronounced hoo-gah, hygge is a uniquely Danish idea that has no equivalent phrase in English, but can be roughly translated to "providing physical and mental comfort". Keeping this definition in mind, the notion might be best understood through the work done at the By Signe studio.

At long last we have been able to access and post a number of Riverina Area Match Programmes.
Most of these are from grand finals during the seventies and eighties and contain a wealth of information which will evoke some great memories of past champions and clubs.
We knew the various leagues in the Riverina produced some wonderful game publications over the years and have been chasing up copies for some time now. Fortunately, a former Wagga resident, Geoff Reid sent in a whole batch of his collections which we have begun to scan and post on our site.
We hope that his magnanimous gesture will encourage others who might have similar copies to lend them to us so we can post on the site for all to see.
If you have any, please let us know
One Geoff also had was from the 1989 State Championships at Broken Hill which we have slipped into the Country Championships folder. View it here.

If wearing menswear inspired women's clothing is the first step, menswear it is.
Actually, menswear worn by women nowadays is a big trend when worn correctly, sometimes, it even looks better on women (Men, it's nothing personal :P), and never goes out of style. This trend is really easy to pull off, it's just a question of balance.
A girl in a suit is as classy as a man is handsome in it. Women shouldn't wear revealing clothes to look attractive, in fact a women well put together, in a classy, elegant way, in my opinion is a lot more alluring.
This kind of outfits should not be considered as tomboy, it should just be seen as fashion.
Some of the trends in menswear inspired women's clothing are:
– The business suit
– The "Boyfriend" jean
– Men's shirt (oversized shirt, flannel, sweater, etc..)
– Suspenders
– Briefcase
– Oxford and wingtip shoes
Some celebrities sporting menswear inspired outfits:
Zendaya Coleman

Amy Schumer Thanked Her Makeup Artist At The Emmys
Amy Schumer brilliantly and tearfully accepted the award for Best Variety Sketch Series tonight at the 2015 Emmy Awards. The accolade was much deserved with all three seasons of the show being brilliant. The usual thank yous were issued, but Amy Schumer thanked her makeup artist for her gorgeous smoky eye reminding us that every part of a star's Emmy team matters. Plus, that really is one heck of a gorgeous smoky eye!
In case you're wondering, Schumer's makeup artist is the mega talented Andrea Tiller, and she definitely deserves a shoutout. This isn't the first time that the artist has given Schumer a stunning look for a red carpet event. It's not a secret that every one's favorite funny girl — and imaginary best friend — looked gorgeous at the premiere of her movie Trainwreck. Well, that gorgeous dark eye she was rocking? It was totally courtesy of Tiller. Schumer thanking her makeup artist is notable not only because of the perfect display of artistry but also because of Schumer's uber popular "Girl, You Don't Need Makeup" skit. While I'm pretty sure that the Inside Amy Schumer star probably doesn't actually need makeup, that smoky eye was on point and deserved a shoutout.
Social media has been abuzz with Schumer's shoutout with many sharing happiness for Tiller's recognition.
Tiller herself also seemed pretty stoked about Schumer's thank you, and based on her Instagram, it appears that she didn't just get a moment during the acceptance speech. In case you missed it, there was a brilliant moment at the beginning of the show where Schumer and Amy Poehler got touched up by their teams before going on stage to present. Well, fun story, that's Tiller with makeup brush in hand!
Based on Tiller's social media, it appears as though the artist has been working with Schumer for some time now. Hopefully, other stars will take notice of her gorgeous work because I'd love to see more of Tiller's looks grace red carpets!

Baby Luke arrived safe and sound last Thursday evening – and in a hurry!!! For my second time moms: run, do not walk to the hospital. After my water broke, I wasted precious time at home wondering if I was having contractions before heading to the hospital — which nearly cost me an epidural! All's well that ends well though, and we are thrilled to have Baby Luke at home with us (Wyatt not so sure yet…). I wanted to share a quick recap of our first week — before my mom brain erases all useful information — and what's working well for us in case it's helpful for you.
I was extremely anxious about the idea of bringing a newborn home, just when we've started to feel like we have things under control with Wyatt. To be honest, so far it feels like managing a toddler is the (much) more significant challenge of the two. Both Tom and I feel a lot more confident about handling and managing a newborn than we did the first time around. How to manage both kids, jobs and our household is a completely different challenge that we are only beginning to contemplate! Stay tuned.
Our Routine
- Midnight-12:30am – Feeding & diaper change
- *3:30am – Feeding & diaper change. Since Luke has regained his birth weight, our pediatrician recommended we try eliminating this feeding beginning in Week 2 and feed only on demand between 12-6am
- 6:30am – Feeding & diaper change. Say good morning to Wyatt when he wakes up around 6:30-7am
- 9:30am – Feeding & diaper change
- 12:30pm – Feeding & diaper change
- 3:30pm – Feeding & diaper change
- 6:30pm – Feeding & diaper change
- 9:30pm – Feeding, diaper change and go to sleep
I like to have a general time guide in my head (12, 3, 6, 9…) so I can ensure we're feeding Luke frequently enough, but I know with Wyatt I was much more detail-oriented and found it helpful to track every detail in his first few weeks with the Glow Baby Newborn Tracker app.
NURSING & MOM CaRE
Haakaa Breast Pump: I recently learned about the Haakaa breast pump, and it is my new must-have item for nursing moms (link here for my recap of Nursing essentials). I am pumping anywhere from 3-4 extra ounces per feeding with this magic tool, and it is so much more gentle and easy to setup than an electric (or traditional manual) pump. In my nursing essentials checklist, I recommended Milkies, which I used frequently while nursing Wyatt and is a convenient way to collect excess milk and reduce the mess. But while Milkies only collects "drippage", the Haakaa actually extracts milk like a breast pump using suction. I tested both the Haakaa second and third generation models, and I recommend the third because of its superior suction and the add-on bottle top which converts the base directly into a bottle (awesome!). I'm using the Haakaa on one breast (alternating each time) at most daytime feedings when I'm at home, and storing the milk in Kiinde bags so we have bottles ready-to-go. If you try the Haakaa out, be sure to watch this instructional video before you use it as it's a bit of a learning curve the first few times.
Introducing the bottle: Our pediatrician recommended introducing the bottle early, and we have gotten Luke to use it for feedings 3-4 times now in his first week. We have used both the Haakaa bottle, which is very similar to the Comotomo bottles that we love, as well as the Kiinde bottle with a Slow flow nipple (I talk about my love for both of these products here and here.) I also recommend you try to get baby to use a bottle early and somewhat often (maybe once a day) so Mom can have a tiny bit of personal time! With my newfound freedom, I am going for a 90-min post-natal massage today (ahh…).
I hope this helps a bit for new moms who are experiencing all this for the first time (or remembering it, in my case!). This is seriously hard work, and I know every mom's experience is unique and challenging in its own ways. Please take care of yourself and ask for (and accept) help as much as you can! Questions I can try to help with? Anything that's worked well for you? Leave a message in the comments below or shoot me a note: email@example.com.

London's lesser-known green spaces unlatch their gates this weekend (9-10 June) for the annual Open Garden Squares festival. 208 gardens are taking part this year, from the la-di-da oblongs of Belgravia and Kensington, to hidden roof gardens.
Our own recommendations include the Ismaili Centre roof garden in South Ken, St Dunstan-in-the-East (if you've never seen it), Drapers' Hall Gardens in the City, and the SOAS Japanese roof garden in Bloomsbury. The Brunel Museum Gardens are also worth a look, if only to get a ride on the model steam train.
Some of the gardens are freely open to visit, but to get into most of them you'll need an all-weekend pass for £9 (advance) or £12 (on the weekend).
The complete list of gardens, broken down by borough, can be found here.

POMPANO BEACH, FL - November 9, 2007 - Onstream Media Corporation ( OTC: ONSM), a leading online service provider of live and on-demand digital media communications and applications, announced today that it has been awarded a stake in a three-year, estimated $3 Million, Master Services Agreement (MSA) by the State of California to provide video and audio streaming services to the state and participating local governments. As a result of the MSA award, Onstream Media has been designated as a pre-approved vendor by the State's Department of General Services, allowing State agencies to directly procure Onstream Media's comprehensive set of live and on-demand audio and video streaming services through a streamlined ordering and contracting process.
The State of California undertook this initiative as a direct result of an Executive Order issued in October 2006 by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, mandating the use of streaming video technologies to broadcast public meetings over the Internet, enable remote access to staff training materials, and give widespread emergency notifications. The mechanism of pre-approval put into place through this MSA award, replaces the RFP process and eliminates the need for State agencies to conduct lengthy evaluations to determine which bidder has the qualified services and pricing suitable for the scope of work.
Onstream Media noted that the MSA award was based on rigorous selection criteria and an extensive evaluation process, including demonstrated customer satisfaction and technical proficiency.
Randy Selman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Onstream Media, commented, "We are eager to leverage our existing status as a qualified CMAS vendor in California and expand our overall relationship with the state. Although the amount of our share of the revenue from this latest contract is not yet determined, it is incremental to our existing Four Year Multiple Award Schedule with California's Board of Equalization and California Resources Agency which is expected to contribute revenues in excess of $500,000 over the terms of those awards. This new award is expected to expand the number of state and local agencies in California using our services resulting in significant revenue growth that will be recognized throughout the three year engagement."

Scientific progress despite irreproducibility: A seeming paradox
Edited by David B. Allison, Indiana University Bloomington, Bloomington, IN, and accepted by Editorial Board Member Susan T. Fiske November 5, 2017 (received for review June 30, 2017)
It appears paradoxical that science is producing outstanding new results and theories at a rapid rate at the same time that researchers are identifying serious problems in the practice of science that cause many reports to be irreproducible and invalid. Certainly, the practice of science needs to be improved, and scientists are now pursuing this goal. However, in this perspective, we argue that this seeming paradox is not new, has always been part of the way science works, and likely will remain so. We first introduce the paradox. We then review a wide range of challenges that appear to make scientific success difficult. Next, we describe the factors that make science work—in the past, present, and presumably also in the future. We then suggest that remedies for the present practice of science need to be applied selectively so as not to slow progress and illustrate with a few examples. We conclude with arguments that communication of science needs to emphasize not just problems but the enormous successes and benefits that science has brought and is now bringing to all elements of modern society.

Sharks, Eagle Rays, Turtles and Stunning Reefs
Sharks, Eagle Rays, Turtles and Stunning Reefs
Tubbataha season is here! Joining us aboard the Philippine Siren for this first trip of the season were our 12 guests from around the world. After a little introduction from my side about the boat and welcome by our superb crew everyone settled in for a good night's sleep and the long crossing to Tubbataha. The crossing took a little longer than expected due to adverse winds but the following day everyone was ready to start their liveaboard diving adventure which would take us from the North Atoll to South Atoll and on to Jessie Beazley reef before returning to Puerto Princesa.
Starting off our 5 days of diving at Donato's Wall, the marine life seen was just as to be expected in this stunning off shore location; schools of barracuda, sweetlips, snappers and batfish, numerous eagle rays, hawksbill and green turtles, marble rays and sharks, sharks and sharks! Commonly sighted on each dive were white tips & grey reef sharks whilst black tips, nurse sharks… and even a big hammerhead all made an appearance – Our hammerhead sighting being the last dive of the trip was of course voted the best dive overall by the guests!
Other highlights were dives at Shark Airport, Amos Rock, Black Rock and Lobster Lair – where we unsuprisingly found many lobsters. During our cruise back to Puerto Princesa we held a video & photo contest with Hiia and Don Ngai as the winners – each receiving their Philippine Siren T-Shirt!
During the trip our guests also visited the ranger station and welcomed the coast guard aboard for dinner! Sunset beers and massages on the sundeck add to the fabulous memories made and even better…..we were the only liveaboard in the area and able dive completely alone in this wonderful place. We are really lucky! Thank you for joining us aboard. We hope to see you again soon,Eva and the Philippine Siren crew.

Tea, an ally for oral bacteria?
According to American researchers, the mouths of tea lovers are home to more beneficial bacteria and fewer harmful bacteria such as those capable of causing cavities.
The second most consumed drink in the world, tea is enjoying growing success. In France alone, two in three people drink it every day. And it is not only its fragrant flavors that are pleasing: its health benefits as well! According to a recent study, tea is associated with a better balance of the bacterial flora in our mouth. Coffee on the other hand does not seem to have a major impact on this population of 600 bacteria.
More beneficial bacterial species in the mouth
To draw this observation, the team of American scientists sampled the saliva and sputum of 938 individuals. These analyses were supplemented by a questionnaire on the life habits of the volunteers, particularly their favorite drinks. A large majority drank coffee and/or tea every day. In comparison with those who never drank it, lovers of theine had a richer oral bacterial flora–a trend more pronounced with each cup drunk daily. The mouths of these individuals harbored more beneficial species, and in larger quantities, especially among those who drank a lot of tea (3 cups or more per day). This gain in abundance, diversity and composition was not found in the coffee drinkers.
Each tea has its own action?
According to other studies, drinking tea regularly is thought to be associated with a reduction in oral infections and ENT cancers. This study suggested a possible explanation: tea consumption might be associated with lower numbers of the bacteria responsible for dental cavities and periodontal diseases. The beverage is moreover thought to contain active compounds, which vary according to the fermentation level of the leaves and their origin, and which are capable of acting against certain bacteria. The researchers remind us that it is appropriate to be cautious: establishing a cause and effect relationship between tea consumption and the composition of the oral microbiota is for the moment premature. So, while waiting for the results of future studies, make your choice: black or green tea?

Singapore's overall unemployment rate declined slightly on a seasonally adjusted basis in the third quarter of the year from the previous quarter, according to preliminary estimates released by the ministry of manpower on Friday.
The overall unemployment rate declined to 2.1% in September from 2.2% in June, the ministry said in its 'Labor Market Advance' release. Among Singaporeans, the rate declined to 3.2% in September from 3.3% in June, while it remained unchanged for residents at 3.1%, CNA reported.
Compared to a year ago, the overall unemployment rate remained unchanged while resident and citizen unemployment rates were higher. In September, an estimated 71,900 residents were unemployed, higher than 70,800 in June 2017. It declined for citizens, from 63,800 to 62,600.
Total employment, excluding foreign domestic workers, contracted by 2,500 in the third quarter, mainly due to a continued decrease in work permit holders in construction and manufacturing.
This was partly offset by a pickup in employment in the services sector, including in professional services, information and communications, administrative and support services, finance and insurance and accommodation.
MOM's preliminary estimates also showed that 3,600 workers were retrenched in the third quarter, less than the 3,640 workers let go in the previous quarter and 4,220 laid off in the same period last year.
Services continued to form the bulk of retrenchments at 66%, followed by manufacturing at 19% and construction at 15%.
This is the third consecutive quarter where retrenchments have remained lower than the corresponding quarter a year ago, added MOM.
Labor demand is expected to pick up in the fourth quarter of the year, in line with seasonal hiring as seen in previous years, said MOM. Hiring remains cautious in sectors such as construction and marine, while job opportunities are available in other sectors particularly in infocomms and media, finance and insurance, healthcare, professional services and wholesale trade, it added.
"As the resident unemployment rate could remain elevated in the medium term due to on-going economic restructuring, shift in composition of resident labor force and job-skills mismatch, MOM and tripartite partners will continue to support jobseekers and at-risk workers," the ministry added.

Young Reporters for the Environment (YRE) aims to empower young people to take a stand on environmental issues they feel strongly about and to give them a platform to articulate these issues through the media of writing, photography or video.
The programme offers these enthusiastic students a chance to make their voices heard and to feel that they are being listened to. The ultimate goal of the young reporters is to highlight environmental injustices and to have them righted by the appropriate authorities, but the upshot of this is that these young people get to feel like they can make a difference and hopefully the opportunities provided by YRE engenders in them the desire to continue to do so.
As a part of the YRE programme, an annual international competition is held for the top articles, photos and videos produced by students over the year and the winning entries receive international recognition. YRE students also have the chance to participate in national and international conferences such as COP, World Environmental Congress, University Scholars Leadership Symposium to report on high level events and to further build their skills and network.

One of the learnings that I gained in reading and reflecting the Book of Genesis was how YHWH have been so generous and gracious to those whom He called. It is right to assert that YHWH is a generous God, a cheerful giver and a gracious God for He really gives and provides if the person whom He called put his/her faith in Him and obey his commands. From this minute insight that I gained after reading and reflecting the Old Testament, I am challenged to contemplate upon how the grace of God is working in my life and I consider it knowing the fact that His grace is really working into my life. To be honest, I am not used to distinguishing how far the grace of God is still continuously working in me. I admit I am not yet fully open and disposed to His grace. Until now, I am still struggling to open my heart and to be aware of the power of His grace. I am still in the process of surrendering to His grace. This is the reason why I consider conversion or metanoia as a long and lifetime process for me.
Reading the Book of Genesis with full attention helped me to consider how God is so good to those whom He called despite the fact that they are the lowly ones, the less important and the undistinguishable for the proud ones. See, how God made them great! What was the secret of their greatness? God's grace. And how did they accept the power of the grace of God to penetrate their lives? By humility and sincerity of heart. Humility and sincerity of heart are the two significant realizations that I have gained after reading and reflecting the Book of Genesis. I admit, I am not yet fully grown on these two realizations, so the grace of God finds so hard to penetrate into my heart. I easily squander His grace because of pride. I easily forget and neglect its importance into my life, which I recognize that I continuously receive it from Him, because of inattentiveness. When pride and inattentiveness enters into my life, my heart becomes numb for the grace of God. My heart is like a locked door and everytime the grace of God, which brings opportunities for metanoia, keep knocking on the door of my heart, my heart sometimes doesn't mind for he is still busy of himself.
The Book of Genesis has brought me a lot of lessons in life. Reflecting upon its message and thoughts made me in touch with my humanity. I am also blessed that as I try my very best to allow the Book of Genesis to speak in me, true enough, the lessons about how the grace of God works in one's life have touched my heart and have helped me to be in touch with my reality. Actually, allowing this lesson to speak in my reality, I realized that there are a lot of things that I need to accept and to ponder upon. Indeed, the lessons were challenging, yet good enough to start considering the fact that allowing the grace of God to penetrate into one's heart makes a heart capable of conversion. Thus, change of heart is like putting letter "D" in the Italian word "IO," which means ego or one's self, in order to make it "DIO," which means God. This principle invites me to live it because change doesn't depend on me and on my own capacities. It depends on God, the "DIO", and on how I combine the efforts that I exert in order to attain conversion in His grace.

How a condensed signup form affects name conversion rate on a landing page Experiment ID: #7952
FamilyLife® has been committed to helping individuals find biblical help for their marriage and family relationships. Through the Weekend to Remember® marriage getaways, FamilyLife Today® radio broadcasts, The Art of Marriage® video event, and the many other resources and content, God has used FamilyLife to restore hope for millions of couples and transform their lives.
Experiment Summary
Timeframe: 10/20/2017 - 11/27/2017
FamilyLife wanted to increase name conversion rate on their free online course, I Still Do. They hypothesized that one element of friction on the page was the length of the acquisition form, so they wanted to test a condensed version of the form. Other elements of the page were the same.
Research Question
Does a shortened form decrease friction on an acquisition page, and increase conversion rate?
|Treatment Name
|Conv. Rate
|Relative Difference
|Average Gift
|Condensed Form
This experiment has a required sample size of 401 in order to be valid. Since the experiment had a total sample size of 2,647, and the level of confidence is above 95% the experiment results are valid.
Flux Metrics Affected
The Flux Metrics analyze the three primary metrics that affect revenue (traffic, conversion rate, and average gift). This experiment produced the following results:
0% increase in traffic
× 3.7% increase in conversion rate
× 0% increase in average gift
Key Learnings
The condensed form increased conversion rate by 3% and average gift by 2%. The removal of friction in the process motivated more people to follow through and get signed up for the course.

McALLEN — Following a national trend, retail sales in McAllen and across the state increased in August, a positive sign considering retails sales are typically a volatile measurement of the economy.
But the Rio Grande Valley economy is different, as cities such as McAllen and Mercedes rely heavily on retail revenue.
"When you talk about the border, it's influenced by the national level, but also a good portion of the border economy depends on cross-border shoppers," said Jesus Canas with the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, which has studied the Texas retail trends. "People from Mexico, in the RGV's case, like Monterrey, and cities across the Rio Grande, spending their money in McAllen."
The Dallas Fed said retails sales accelerated significantly in Texas from July to August, which also followed a national trend.
McAllen officials have pointed to the $50 million La Plaza Mall expansion as a key factor in the city's retail sales revenue increasing after two years of negative numbers. However, while retail sales numbers have increased over the last year, they still haven't recovered from levels of years past. Violence in Tamaulipas has kept many shoppers who once spent their money here at home.
But manufacturing has expanded along the border, Canas said, both in United States and Mexican border cities.
"Maquiladora activity in Reynosa is also growing at a good pace," Canas said. "That's reflected in higher employment levels and higher wages for those Reynosa shoppers who are spending some of that money in McAllen."
Across the nation, shoppers are spending more freely in an economy that has recently grown at the fastest pace in nearly four years. Unemployment is near an 18-year low. Average hourly wages rose 2.7 percent in July from a year earlier.
"There's no doubt that, like others, we're currently benefiting from a very strong consumer environment, perhaps the strongest I've seen in my career," Target CEO Brian Cornell told investors. Target saw sales at established stores post the strongest growth in 13 years. Customer numbers in stores and online had their best showing since at least 2008.
Walmart similarly posted the largest increase for same-store sales in more than a decade. Best Buy had its biggest second-quarter same-store sales boost in 15 years. These three retailers, along with Home Depot, Lowe's, Kohl's and others raised their outlooks.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Self-Managed Superannuation Funds
Drive your own destiny by taking control of one of your largest financial assets.
For most of us, apart from our ability to earn money, superannuation represents our largest financial asset and the key to how comfortable our retirement will be.
It also happens to be one of the most tax-effective and flexible retirement investment vehicles.
So, it certainly pays to know where your super is headed. Yet how many of us actually do?
One way is to take control of it yourself with a self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF). As its name implies, it's owned and operated by you.
So, instead of simply paying into a large retail or industry super fund, you become the trustee/s of your own fund and make all its investment decisions.
It's not that uncommon, either.
In fact, SMSFs now account for over 30% of all super assets in Australia.

The Fund for Folk Culture
The Santa Fe-based Fund for Folk Culture convened a remarkable "gathering" of environmentalists, folk culture specialists, economists, artists, and others to identify the ways in which they might join in common cause and consequently have more of an impact on relevant policy and practice at the federal, regional, and statewide levels. WolfBrown designed, facilitated and documented this multi-day event, which has resulted in productive projects and relationships – both decentralized and coordinated – around the country, and in a new publication on the gathering and the forces that gave rise to it.

It's easy to play safe with your outfits and look a certain way all the time. But what's the fun in always playing safe? You might think it's quite easy to mess up an outfit by experimenting a little and you're not completely wrong in thinking so! Fashion is a tricky business but here are 11 fashion risks every girl should take, to make her style more fun!
No matter what your body type is! No really, a crop top is too much fun to not try. If you want to flaunt a little bit of your tummy, your body type should be the least of your concerns. There are so many ways to style a crop top and this makes it a summer must-have! Try the trend if you haven't already.
Because life's too short to wear plain clothes every day. Not only are clashing prints a great way to experiment with different separates, it also adds a great dimension to your outfit. So what are you waiting for, ladies?
The secret to getting this one right is by keeping the silhouette basic and breaking the colour monotony by flaunting some of your gorge skin. It'll make your outfit look balanced and won't make you look like a fruit!
It's no secret that fashion takes a full circle in terms of the trend cycle. So instead of waiting for the trend to come back, take the plunge and be the trendsetter! Wear dungarees, good old Lennon glasses or anything that takes you back in time. Even if it's for a day; playing dress up is always exciting! Moreover, vintage fashion is always in, we mean it!
// Bold stripes & feminine neutrals to kickstart a great week. My full outfit is from Aprere.com @aprereofficial
We tend to shy away from bottom wear that's too bold because we think it will make us look too OTT. But let's face it, wearing a dramatic bottom is just as experimental as trying on a dress in a new silhouette. Whether it's a sequinned skirt or printed pants, a bold bottom never fails to make a playful outfit!
We all have earrings that have lost their better halves. So why not put those odd earrings to some good use? Mix and match from your collection and don't worry too much about how they look 'together'. Pair one long earring with a shorter one for a balanced look and choose colours that go well with your outfit. It's definitely worth a try!
Because a pair of shoes can change your fashion statement, forever! Ever looked at a pair of shoes and felt like they're too 'out there' but you also wanted to really try them? They don't necessarily have to be pretty or conform to the idea of 'normal' and can be whacky in their own way. Those pairs have the power to give any simple outfit a street style touch.
Might sound weird to the most of you but trust us, it can look super cute if done right! Just make sure to hide the toe seams and not let it peek out of your sandals. You can go all out by styling them in contrasting colours or even keep it simple by pairing your heels with basic white, lacy stockings!
Funk it up. 💃 Also, I'm going somewhere tomorrow. Can you guess where I'm off to? ✈ 📸 @divinetouchdevelopers490 Location courtesy @garamdharamdhaba
Don't play it safe with slits and invest in a dress with the highest slit possible. It's quite liberating to wear something that you know looks sexy. It's your body and YOU have the right to show it off in any way! You can wear a full coverage underwear that goes well with the colour of your outfit, so even if it does peek out at any moment, it doesn't look too bad.
You only live once (YOLO) and matching outfits with your bestie is something that needs to be ticked off your bucket list! We're not talking about wearing the exact same outfits (or do so if you wish to) but wearing something identical, like the same pattern or print - it can look really cute!
Clarifying my ambiguous stand on sequins.💫 . . . . . #ftlofaot #ootd #wiw #wiwt #potd #outfit #lookbook #lookoftheday #style #streetstyle #fashion #fashionista #ftlofaot #fashionblogger #indianblogger #delhi #india #l4l #f4f #whattowear #inspiration #igers #instafashion #instalike #instafollow #tagsforlikes #fashiongram #bloggerstyle #sequins #thatsdarling #women
Sequin and shimmer can be worn during the day! Limit yourself to one blingy piece to avoid looking OTT. If you're shopping on a budget, go for shiny fabrics instead of sequins. As cheap embellishments rarely look classy, this a great way to work in the trend and wear it during the day.

Norwalk Board of Education approves operating, capital budgets for next school year
NORWALK-- The Norwalk Board of Education approved Dr. Manuel Rivera's proposals for an operating budget and a capital improvement plan for the 2015-16 school year during its meeting Tuesday evening.
The proposed operating budget of $170.9 million represents a 2.74 percent increase over the current school budget.
The recommended capital budget requests nearly $4.5 million in bonds for school improvements around the district.
"This is not what I would describe as the superintendent's budget or the superintendent's initiatives," said Rivera.
"These are initiatives over the last year and a half that people in this organization have contributed to. Not only at the board level as we discuss our strategic plan, but as I met with folks throughout this community, recognizing what our strengths are and where we had needs, we essentially created a series of initiatives that we believe have to continue."
The largest portions of the budget are salaries and benefits, which combined represent 85 percent of the budget. Other factors driving the budget are special education, transportation, utilities, facilities maintenance and high school athletics.
The operating budget calls for the establishment of an in-district special education program that would hire 22 Applied Behavioral Analysis Specialists, three Board Certified Behavioral Analysts, one additional psychologist and one additional special education teacher.
The school district currently spends $2.3 million in outsourcing Applied Behavioral Analysis Specialists and Board Certified Behavioral Analysts.
An in-house special education program cut down on the number of special education students sent out-of-district.
Some of the highlights of the budget include increases in funding of high school athletics and marching bands. The budget also includes increased funding to support the school district's growing English language learner population.
The operating budget also addresses professional development and training, diversity hiring and investments in K-5 writing and new social studies curricula.
The capital budget includes six physical improvements for the school district.
Most notably, the district was requested to bond $556,988 to complete Phase II of Norwalk Early Childhood Center, a special education pre-K facility to be built at the Roosevelt School building, located at 11 Allen Road.
The Norwalk Early Childhood Center will consolidate all eight of the city's special education pre-K classes (about 100 children) under one roof.
School and city officials have already designated $1.6 million to the project, which was funded by a $2.9 million surplus from the 2013-14 operating budget. Phase II of the project would allow for the construction of the final two classrooms in the current gym space in the building.
Other capital improvements include a $1,000,000 District Building Management System that would improve heating issues at 16 schools, $1,032,800 for technology improvements, $800,000 for window replacements at West Rocks Middle School, and $535,000 to begin a five-year asphalt pavement and concrete replacement project at all school locations.
