8 comments:
What a gorgeous floral montage! I'm a black thumb myself...I'm grateful all the florals in my reach are 1) taken care of by someone else) or 2) self-sown...like yours. :-)ReplyDelete
Love those flowers, and love that grid effect you have made with the flower photos.ReplyDelete
Have a great weekend
Your garden is a riot of color already! I'm envious!ReplyDelete
Thank you ladies - I am really enjoying my garden at the moment although I omitted to take pictures of all the weeds that are also growing!ReplyDelete
I got the montage idea from you, Beverly. I did a screen shot from my photo editor a bit like you suggested - it worked really well.
Kristin :)
Looking beautiful as always Kristin! Coffee at yours in the garden me thinks. Hope you're having a good weekend. xxReplyDelete
Lovely array of beauties, lots of inspiration for your designs :) Screen shot, hmm? I like it!ReplyDelete

Interdisciplinary Studies (IDSC)
Interdisciplinary studies trains students in a methodology for answering a question, solving a problem, or addressing a topic that is too broad or complex to be dealt with adequately by a single discipline or profession. It draws on multiple disciplinary perspectives and integrates those insights through the construction of a more comprehensive perspective.
IDSC students have multiple disciplinary interests. They are highly engaged, and tend to learn best by doing. They are thoughtful; they know that no single discipline has all of the answers; and they seek to work collaboratively to arrive at robust and effective solutions.
Program Mission
The Bachelor of Science degree in Interdisciplinary University Studies allows students to attain a broad education and acquire diverse skill sets unique to interdisciplinary studies. It offers students an opportunity to create a unique program of study to meet their personal, academic and professional goals. The degree enables students to seek professional careers in diverse occupational fields and prepares them for the challenges of today's global economy.
Program Goals
Students draw from different areas of study in at least two colleges at Auburn University to create an academic emphasis not otherwise available. Students identified as best served through an Interdisciplinary Degree format include those with a desired career that requires a unique combination of academic disciplines and students whose main interest is in the connections between discipline.
Important Information for Interdisciplinary Studies (IDSC) Prospective and Current Students:
To transfer into the program, students must first meet with an IDSC Academic Advisor to determine if IDSC will be a good fit. To make an appointment with Michelle Allen (Last Names: A-K) or Ross Blair (Last Names: L-Z), please call 334-844-2126 or drop by 321 Tichenor Hall.

Home equity in the United States has reached an all-time high. According to NRMLA, housing wealth grew to $6.2 trillion in 2017. However, some homeowners are more reluctant than ever to tap into their wealth as the costs of financing a HELOC have risen to 5.83% in 2018. Plus, refinancing can be harder than ever before and homeowners are wary of housing troubles caused by the crisis in the early 2000s. But, a recent study on HELOC's by Transunion predicts that, "The number of consumers opening HELOCs may double during the next five years." So, even though rates are up and homeowners may be wary, lenders can use home equity loans to deepen customer relationships. Here's how.
Focusing on your customers
Customer needs have changed in the past few years, and it's important to empower them with your offers. Businesses are personalizing their offers, and customers expect the same from lenders. That's why it's important that you, as a lender, help them meet personal goals in order to expand your relationship with them.
Since we are seeing a rise in the cost of HELOCs and a change in consumer behavior, you can help your customers by:
- Enabling them to invest into their existing homes, instead of acquiring new real estate
- Helping them pay for education
- Showing them that debt consolidation is very practical through HELOC
- Informing them on the benefits of HELOCs (e.g. tax deductibility, lower interest rates than with credit cards, etc. )
In return, you can expect more loyalty from your customers by helping them achieve their personal goals, and invest into their properties (in case of home add-ons). However, be careful about customer reloading, and consider investing in equity default protection.
Expanding LTV requirements
As your loan officers are developing customer-centric solutions, they will likely face obstacles such as LTV requirements. Regardless of credit standing, loan-to-value (LTV) criteria are still a prerequisite for home equity loans. No matter how much you want to help your customers, LTVs can pose an obstacle to both parties' goals. However, if a borrower isn't meeting the LTV criteria, you don't necessarily have to deny their HELOC request. There are options like equity default protection which can help you tap into unused home equity and use higher LTV ratios.
Equity default protection eliminates risk caused by raising LTV thresholds and allowing customers to get equity loans bigger than the standard 80-90% LTV. Some can even be customized to reach 100% LTV thresholds. This helps you extend your reach to other customers who previously have not even considered getting a HELOC, enabling you to offer them a better solution for refinancing their debt, investing into higher education, or raising the value of their property.
By raising LTV thresholds with the help of solutions that mitigate risks and exposure of your financial institution, you are also improving competitiveness.
Deepen customer relationships
Customizing your offer and focusing on your customers is the future of lending. Flexibility is becoming the biggest priority for most homeowners. By being a lending institution that's on their side and supports their goals, you gain their trust and improve your reach. And finally, you become their partner in what matters most: the future.

The normal state of high-temperature superconductors exhibits anomalous transport and spectral properties that are poorly understood. Cold atoms in optical lattices have been used to realize the celebrated Fermi-Hubbard model, widely believed to capture the essential physics of these materials. The recent development of fermionic quantum gas microscopes has enabled studying the normal state of Hubbard systems with single-site resolution. I will start by introducing the atomic platform and reviewing experiments that have been done on measuring spin and density correlations in half-filled systems [1]. Next, I will describe the development of a technique to measure microscopic diffusion, and hence resistivity, in doped Mott insulators. We have found that this resistivity exhibits a linear dependence on temperature and violates the Mott-Ioffe-Regel limit, two signatures of strange metallic behavior [2]. Finally, I will describe the development of angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) for Hubbard systems and its application to studying pseudogap physics in an attractive Hubbard system, setting the stage for future studies of the pseudogap regime in repulsive Hubbard systems [3].

There is a light that never goes out… and it's the light of wonder, amazement, flash of inspiration. And in 2018 this light is represented by Double Negative, certainly the masterpiece of the American trio Low.

That's why the other preferences go to dark electronic albums (Nine Inch Nails, Soft Moon, the techno of Youarehere, Anna Calvi's pop magnificence) or to fragile and melodic releases (the elegance of Son Lux, Soap&Skin, the italian authorial style of Riccardo Sinigallia, the fantastic synth pop from American Pastel Ghost and finally the confirmation of the cult band Breeders).
Two interpretations of such a complex and difficult reality, in which the common field is the large use of electronic. The full list below.
- Low – Double Negative
- Nine Inch Nails – Bad Witch
- Son Lux – Brighter Wounds
- Soft Moon – Criminal
- Youarehere – Plus Ultra
- Riccardo Sinigallia – Ciao Cuore

Waves of people are arriving in Europe for "opportunistic" economic reasons rather than because they fear for their lives,the Liberal backbencher Cory Bernardi has argued.
Speaking on Monday against a Greens motion urging Australia to resettle an extra 20,000 Syrian and Iraqi refugees, Bernardi said the country needed an ordered migration system and could not simply open its borders to anyone.
"At this stage, I do not believe there is any need for hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people to be ditching their identification and trying to get into Europe for reasons of safety," Bernardi told the Senate. "Many of these people have been very safely ensconced, working and housed in places like Turkey for many years.
"This seems to me to be becoming an opportunistic cycle which is masking the true humanitarian need that is the responsibility of all western nations."
Bernardi also criticised the father of Aylan Kurdi, the drowned three-year-old boy whose photograph sparked an outpouring of public sorrow and sympathy.
"The facts remain that that terrible image was not brought about by recent events in Syria or Iraq," Bernardi said. "That boy and his family had lived in Turkey for three years. The money for that boy's father to pay the people smugglers was sent from Canada.
"The father sent them on that boat so the father could get dental treatment. They were in no fear, they were in no persecution and they were in no danger in Turkey."
The Labor frontbencher Anthony Albanese expressed disgust at the comments.
"Cory Bernadi is an embarrassment to this parliament," Albanese told reporters outside parliament on Tuesday morning. "He should be treated with the contempt those comments deserve."
Bernardi's comments also drew a sharp rebuke from the foreign minister, Julie Bishop, and his backbench colleague Ewen Jones.
"I don't believe he could be referring to those fleeing Syria," Bishop told Sky News on Tuesday. "People fleeing from Syria are fleeing from the most diabolical circumstances."
The foreign minister said Australia was working with the UN refugee agency to ascertain asylum claims.
"Those who might be opportunistic will obviously not meet the requirements of the UNHCR," she said.
Jones said: "What do you expect from someone like Cory? He plays to his constituency and that's the hard part."
Pressure is mounting on the prime minister, Tony Abbott, to do more to help over the humanitarian crisis in Europe, as thousands of people flee the brutal war in Syria and Iraq waged by the extremist group Isis.
Abbott will meet with community and religious leaders – including Muslim, Orthodox Christian and other minority leaders – on Friday to discuss Australia's response to the crisis.
On Sunday he said Australia would take more Syrians and Iraqis as part of the humanitarian intake, but would not raise the overall number.
About a third of Australia's 13,750-strong humanitarian intake are made up of Syrian refugees. The Coalition has pledged to increase the humanitarian quota to 18,750 by 2018-19.
By Monday, after pressure from state premiers and frontbench colleagues who want an overall boost in numbers, Abbott had softened his language, leaving the door open for potential changes.
"Australia has already taken 4,500 [Syrian refugees] and, yes, we will do more," the prime minister told reporters on Monday. "We will do more. Because this is an ongoing crisis but let's not forget what we have already done and let's not forget the comparative generosity that Australia has always shown in situations like this."
Jones said Australia could be doing more. "The prime minister is talking the right language and, where that number lands, I'll work with the government on that," Jones told Guardian Australia. "Thirty thousand to 50,000 is my number, and we have to make it work [for resettlement]."
Australia would prioritise the resettlement of family groups from persecuted minorities, Abbott said.
Sydney's Catholic archbishop, Anthony Fisher, told the Australian newspaper that Christians should be given priority. "There are concerted campaigns to drive Christians from the Middle East," Fisher said.
"Other groups are also suffering badly and being persecuted but many Syrian Christians have relatives and a cultural affinity in Australia and we should be honouring those ties and connections."
Cabinet will meet on Tuesday to discuss Australia's response to the European crisis, as the immigration minister, Peter Dutton, continues his meetings with UN officials in Paris and Geneva.
Abbott told parliament on Monday that the government would have more to say about Australia's response once Dutton returned.
Jones said Australia was engaging with the UN with goodwill on how best to tackle the crisis, and not on how to shirk its international responsibilities. "We're going over there [to Europe] with an open mind, not to squib it," he said.
Labor has urged the government to take a one-off intake of 10,000 Syrian and Iraqi refugees, who would be granted permanent visas.
"We have spoken to resettlement experts and immigration experts," the opposition leader, Bill Shorten, told ABC Radio on Tuesday. "Ten thousand was something our systems could cope with without overstretching them."
The 10,000 figure would come on top of the 13,750 quota.
Shorten said that the 10,000 figure was "a start".
The independent MP Andrew Wilkie will move a motion during question time on Tuesday to double the refugee intake to 28,000 permanently, and also to implement a one-off boost of 30,000 humanitarian visas as a way of responding to the crisis in the Middle East.

A recent Financial Times article reports on the impact of extreme weather events on financial assets.
"Both the public and private sectors will be affected significantly…by climate change," The Climate Service CEO James McMahon told Financial Times.
The article cites a report from Blackrock that shows rising temperatures are increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events; the number of natural disasters causing $1 billion or more in damages has been on the rise, BlackRock says.
The article notes the steps many homeowners and businesses are now required to take to protect their assets from the effects of extreme weather, including the venture capital fund operated by LMI, which bought a stake in The Climate Service last October. "We're seeing a huge demand for robust, reliable, and transparent information about the effects of climate change," McMahon says.
Financial Times also cites the work The Climate Service is doing for the US Federal Government stating, "This business has already helped the US defence department assess a range of climate risks. These included for example the increased danger of storm flooding restricting the battle-ready status of the F-35 joint strike fighter."

Buy NEO
NEO is the latest iteration of Ethereum's smart contracts. Based on a unique Blockchain algorithm that enhances the original Ethereum model, NEO is less vulnerable to cyber-crime than all Ether contracts. Labelled the 'Chinese Ethereum', NEO was developed by a Blockchain company in Shanghai called OnChain. OnChain hopes to become the world's first truly universal Blockchain framework, capable of utilising a variety of plug-in modules and being applied across public and private chains. NEO contracts are set to play an important part in that process.NEO is 100% pre-mined, with 50 million NEO sold through crowdfunding and distributed to early contributors to the NEO project and another 50 million set aside to be 'managed' into the ecosystem by the NEO Council. With a price of around £38-£40 per NEO and a circulating supply of more than 65 million already, it is a cryptocurrency that's becoming more mature by the minute. If you'd like to invest in NEO, read our guide below to find out how to buy NEO safely and easily.
5 quick steps to buy NEO
1. Create your eToro account – it takes just a few minutes to join! 2. Choose your preferred method for depositing and withdrawing to and from your account (e.g. PayPal, credit/debit card, Skrill, Neteller or Wire Transfer) 3. Deposit funds (minimum deposit: £200) – Thanks to CySEC and FCA regulation, your money will be looked after properly 4. Start buying NEo today 5. Watch your profits soar!

Why buy NEO now?
It's no secret that the Chinese fintech sector is one of the fastest-growing fintech markets on the planet right now. It is a nation that's pumping millions of pounds into cryptocurrency and Blockchain in particular and is primed for 21st century innovation. If you're asking yourself 'should I buy NEO?' you should note that it is being viewed as a homegrown Chinese alternative to Ethereum, which failed to take off in a big way in the Far East, due largely to its western roots.
Most importantly, NEO has the financial backing and support of some of the largest tech firms in the massive country of China and beyond. Even Microsoft Azure has partnered with NEO in the past, with software developers worldwide bound to be enticed to the NEO platform allowing use of programming languages that developers are already familiar with. That's the key benefit against Ethereum, which requires developers to learn its own language and environment. With Chinese tech and even the Chinese government reportedly behind NEO's success, it's clear that now is a good time to make a long-term investment in the cryptocurrency with the price of NEO currently well below its market potential. If, at this point, you're wondering where to buy NEO, keep on reading!

Buying NEO: Payment methods
Although NEO is a relatively new cryptocurrency, there are several ways in which you can buy NEO to add to your crypto investment portfolio:
Credit card & debit card
It's not yet possible to buy NEO directly using a credit card or with a debit card anywhere in the world. That's because fiat currencies cannot yet buy NEO online outright. You must first use your debit or credit card to buy Bitcoin that can be converted into NEO in the space of ten minutes.
Again, at the time of writing, there is no direct method of buying NEO with your PayPal account. The easiest way is to purchase Bitcoin using your PayPal account and then exchange it into NEO using a service such as Binance.
Similarly to PayPal, to buy NEO using a Neteller account, you will have to buy Bitcoin or Ethereum first and convert it into NEO using a service such as Binance.
Skrill account holders in Europe can purchase Bitcoins at BitPanda and then convert them into NEO using Binance.
At the moment there is no way to directly buy NEO using cash. There are no ATMs that currently support the purchasing of NEO using fiat currency. You will have to buy Bitcoins at an ATM first and then exchange them into NEO using a platform such as Changelly.
How to buy NEO in your country
There are several cryptocurrency exchanges that accept UK-based investors, such as Binance, Bitfinex, and KuCoin. You can only purchase NEO directly using these exchanges by converting Bitcoin or Ethereum into NEO. However, we recommend that you use eToro to buy.
Budding NEO investors living in Ireland can also utilise services such as eToro, Binance, Bitfinex and KuCoin to convert cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum and Bitcoin into NEO. Sites such as Changelly and Indacoin also allow you to use the euro to purchase NEO directly on these global exchanges.
Like European countries that use the euro, American crypto traders can use Changelly and Indacoin to purchase NEO on their exchanges using US dollars. However, eToro has been announced as coming to the US too.
How to store NEO in a wallet
It's worth noting that some cryptocurrency exchanges don't have in-built functionality to store and keep your NEO secure within an account. If that's the case, you'll need to find a suitable crypto wallet to house your NEO post-purchase. Fortunately, there are many reputable web, mobile and desktop crypto wallets on the market, as well as multi-signature wallets for traders demanding the optimum security levels for the digital assets. Click here for our full guide to the best wallets suitable for investments in NEO. Note: It's important to remind you that as a member of the eToro social trading platform, you won't need a crypto wallet to buy and store cryptocurrencies. The platform protects your digital assets under one roof, making it easier to keep track of your NEO portfolio.
Other ways to get NEO
Unfortunately, NEO tokens cannot be mined because they're all pre-mined. Nevertheless, as every new NEO block is generated, a specified number of GAS tokens are established and spread out to all holders of NEO tokens. GAS is the operational token that powers the smart contracts and tokens built on the NEO blockchain.

It might have been a "Jets decision" as general manager John Idzik likes to say, but it wasn't a unanimous decision to draft Geno Smith last year.
Speaking to Metro, multiple team sources say the potential was evident in Smith, who now enters his second year as the Jets' starting quarterback, but there was a recognition among management that he was far from a finished product. Even more telling, some in the Jets draft room felt Smith might never develop to be a long-term solution.
"The question was 'Can he be the guy?' The room was split," one team source told Metro. "This wasn't a slam dunk."
All team sources spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Everyone in the draft room last year agreed he had talent and that he could develop into a good quarterback. But there was a noticeable split in the room on whether Smith would ever develop.
"John is big on everyone coming together and everyone being a part of it – the decision," a source said. "But at the end of the day, John is a big believer in his way and the way he wants to do things. It all came down here to John. It's all John — 100 percent."
There were ups and downs last year in Smith's rookie year, but he made significant gains over the final month of the season as the Jets went 3-1 and finished with an 8-8 record. But there are limited signs of improvement this season. He is on pace to throw 20 interceptions, just one off the mark from his rookie year.
Even though there was first-round hype around Smith, the West Virginia quarterback fell to the second round on concerns about his acclimation to the NFL from a wide-open passing offense in college. The 15 to 20 people in the Jets draft room in April 2013 discussed Smith as they ranked the top remaining players on that board.
Smith had a late first-round grade and was the second quarterback on the Jets' draft board behind E.J. Manuel, who was selected No. 16 overall but benched by the Bills this week.
One team source said there was a question whether Smith "could compose himself." Another team source said not everyone in the room was sold on "his ability to read defenses, [and] pocket presence. Simply, how high his ceiling was."
He was a U.S. Army All-American coming out of high school and statistically one of the best quarterbacks in the nation in college. Despite the big numbers, nearly every scout acknowledged he needed refinement.
For now, the Jets are committed to Smith as their quarterback. Head coach Rex Ryan said Monday he believes Smith can be their franchise quarterback.
"Well, I am hopeful of that. There is no doubt I am hopeful of that," Ryan said. "I think he's got the skillset to be an outstanding quarterback. I think he has the toughness, the mental toughness, to do it. I hope so."
But hope and actual belief are two separate things.
Smith was appealing as the second quarterback on their draft board, but the concerns centered on his ceiling. In the second round, teams often draft on potential. Where Smith's potential would take him was unclear.
"It was a variety of things. You talk about cold weather, his mentality. Can he compose himself?" a source said. "Can this quarterback be that guy? Not everyone thought so."
Nearly every one who talked to Metro cautioned it is too soon to think about Smith being a bust.
"There were plenty of people who said that he may not be the long-term solution at the position," one of the team sources said. "He does many things right, you don't want to pan him yet, but right now, you can't help but look at the product on the field and say that the Jets knew what they were getting, and they got it."

I think all groups pursue their own interests. Ethnic groups, economic classes, whatever, any identifiable group will produce at least some effort towards advocating for the interests of that group, whatever they are. The problem with capitalism isn't so much that capitalist are any morally worse than any other group, it's just that they have so much power as a group that when they start pursuing their interests they end up completely dominating everyone else and throwing the whole system out of whack. This is what makes worker cooperatives so attractive. You remove capitalists as a group and give the social power they used to have to the workers – a much larger group, with interests that are much more similar to the general interest.

As Another Full Circle Comes Round …
It's been a year full of both life-affirming and time-consuming surprises. So I am very pleased to finally be able to sit down and send out an update to all of my readers.
Continue reading …
Last fall Don and I had just returned from the deep southwest of France — where we were in the process of trying to buy the gîte (a small holiday home for rent) we had fallen in love with at first sight two years before — when my phone rang with yet another kind of offer.
The Weber family, of Della Fattoria fame, were in the equally long and involved process of trying to meet customer demand by further expanding their multiple offerings to include a larger and more focused restaurant right next door to the original historic bakery building. That's where back in 2004 I had first worked as their executive chef to help start the Della Fattoria bakery cafe in the heart of downtown Petaluma. They have since completely remodeled the old kitchen, and now both brave visionary Kathleen and her talented son Chef Aaron were asking if I'd be interested in working as a consulting chef to help them organize and make this next huge transition. YES, PLEASE! I'd love to! And I did.
After months of all the complicated layers of work involved, coupled with a whole series of classic expected unexpected delays and need for yet more changes, we were finally able to open the door on Monday, March 12. And even though we intentionally hadn't announced a specific opening date, on that longed-for day there was already a line of eager customers waiting down the block.
Thank you, Petaluma! The community spirit here is amazing. And the Della Cafe continues to open it's doors seven days/week for breakfast, lunch and weekend brunch. They've also just finished a whole series of Friday night special menu dinners, and are now expanding again to offer an á la carte dinner menu every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night (from 5:30-9:00pm). That starts tonight and we'll be there!
Now here are some scenes from the first few months after we opened for breakfast and lunch in the new dining room.
Lining everything up …
My husband volunteering to taste test one of the first Della Burgers …
Can we whet your appetite with a little housemade foie gras or caramelized pork belly?
Or maybe you're in the mood for a lentil and vegetable salad,
. . . fried fish and fingerlings,
. . . or an embellished panzanella?
Of course, it's always good to leave some room for dessert.
Are you more of a strawberries and cream shortcake or chocolate caramel cupola person?
No matter what, everything is carefully made to both ground your belly and make your heart sing.
Here's our son, Max, who recently came back to his hometown for a birthday celebration with friends and family at Della Fattoria, where years ago he learned how to make their stellar breads. Cheers, Kathleen!
… And congratulations on making this dream come true for us all to share and keep finding joy in.
Now more huge thanks to everyone who helped make this all happen — and there are a lot of you! I once again feel both deeply grateful and honored to have been part of such a creative and pivotal process.
Bon Appétit! Kay

Malaysia is one of Asia's biggest employers of foreign labour. But recently, cases of deaths, abuse and forced labour have come to light. What is going on? Who is protecting these migrant workers?
It is learnt that the two Bangladeshis were working overtime at the factory.

At press time, their identities had yet to be confirmed.

Mohd Fadli Ismail of the Fire and Rescue Department's Hazardous Material unit
said 14 firemen rushed to the factory after receiving a distress call at 9.40pm.

It is believed the two workers were producing aluminium chloride at the factory
when the blast took place.

OCPD Asst Comm Hasan Nudin Hassan said the injured worker has been sent to
a hospital here for treatment.

Great birds Review by DAVID
I ordered a weekly special, heavy bodied pullets (15), and a 5 broad breasted bargain special turkeys. All the birds including the three extra pullets and one extra turkey are doing great. I have them in the greenhouse in a pen 5x10ft with a heat lamp they can get under when the temperature drops at night. The turkeys are little excape artists. I am very pleased. (Posted on 6/10/2019)
Excellent as always Cackle Hatchery Review by Ringoes NJ
We just received our chicks, there were 18 total, not sure of which breed yet. When they arrived they were in great condition but understandably tired from traveling halfway across the country, followed the recommendations including introducing the chicks to water. After about 2 hours they really sprung to life and now are having a great time. Over the years every order from Cackle has been excellent...5 Stars! (Posted on 5/8/2019)

Great Chickens! Review by literacybug
I ordered 15 of the hatchery choice and one Rooster in the fall of 2015. I received 16 hens and a Rooster. I still have the 15 hens and my dog got a hold of the rooster. It was a sad day! All of the chickens are very docile and great layers! The rooster was very protective of the hens and not too aggressive. The 3 types were Black Sex link, Rhode Island white, and Bard Rock. Extremely Satisfied. The hens are still laying every couple of days. I hate to get rid of them and I will might be disappointed if another batch is not as great as them! (Posted on 2/18/2018)

Put yourself first. However busy you may be, do not forget to pamper yourself. Take a time out, relax a bit. Give your mind a break. Get your thoughts in place. You put your body through so much daily. Obviously, you need some pampering. Something that is affordable and does not require you to empty your wallet. Life has a lot to offer you. Put it to use and enjoy yourself. Here are a few you can do this:-
Take care of your hair and nails
Give your hair some treatment. Try a hair spa. Not only is it good to pamper yourself, it is also good for hair growth. Nails are an extension of a women's accessory. Go to a nearby salon, get a manicure and paint your nail using a unique nail art design.
Get a hot bath or a spa
A hot water bath will work wonders. It will help you feel relaxed and give yourself some quiet. Using some candles and playing music will lighten up the mood. A spa too, has several benefits. It will help your skin glow and also have physical and mental health benefits.
Go shopping
Go over to buy some clothes. Your wardrobe will never give up on you. Buy a few fashionable outfits. Wear clothes that you may not tried before. Don't be afraid to try new clothes, however, wear something that suits your body shape.
Plan a solo trip
Going solo on a trip is the best way to pamper you. You get to know yourself better. You deal with your mood swings and not that of anybody else. Visit a place that is close to a beach, a mountain, somewhere away from noise and crowd.
Grab some food
Food will always make you happy. If you are diet conscious, choose a cheat day. Go to store, buy your favorite food and eat while you watch a movie or catch up on a book you love to read.
Go for a walk
Put on your tracksuit, grab your running shoes and go for a walk or a run. Listen to some music or you could do without music. Go for a morning walk preferably and enjoy what nature has to offer.
Write down
Penning your thoughts should be one of your favourite activities. At the end of the day, take a break. On a piece of pamper note down what you love about yourself and your day. Plan your activities for the next day. Do not just write down your memories, put down your happy stories, too.

The Love Collection
Our Love scent is our attempt to duplicate the scent of true roses. While we have sampled far too many rose scents that were just wrong (and that's being nice) this fragrance is it! Delicate and precious just like a rose about to bloom...and best of all...while this true rose scent is strong it's not heady or overwhelming in the least. One whiff and you will know this is The One!
For those who have purchased Love before, this is the same scent just in a limited edition size.
Also, please note that we will not be selling this in a larger size since we have removed it from our core line of product offerings.

Supports for Seniors – To Stay in Their Homes and Communities
We celebrated a win for our seniors campaign when the City agreed to move forward with a plan to support seniors to stay in their homes and communities. This plan will address 8.5 of the 9 points for which our seniors team was advocating, and it will have an impact on thousands of seniors in the years to come.
Elder-Led Reconciliation
Relationships formed through the Calgary Alliance for the Common Good resulted in the creation of an Elder-led reconciliation process. In this process, 17 Christian leaders are meeting monthly with elders, following a process of trust and relationship-building designed by the Elders. At one of the first meetings, an Elder stated that as far as he knew this was "historic", and was "the first time anything like this has happened".
Increasing Income Supports
Our leaders asked the provincial government to increase social supports for low-income Albertans. Then in November 2018, we heard the good news that these supports will be raised and indexed to inflation.
Training Leaders
The Calgary Alliance for the Common Good has trained more than 250 people in community organizing skills. The Calgary Alliance has worked with institutions and their leaders to apply these skills in their institutional context. For example, Knox United Church has made these practices central to its process of renewal. Lutheran Church of Our Saviour used these practices to revitalize a youth program. St. David's United Church has used these skills to build relationships and identify needs of seniors and is now focusing on how seniors can live on fixed incomes. Lutheran Church of the Cross is using these skills to understand the needs in their community in order to partner with the community in responding to these needs. ATU 583 and General Teamsters 362 have used these skills to understand the needs of, and build stronger relationships with, their members.
Creation of Calgary's Interfaith Council
Leaders from our Alliance recognized that there was a need for faith communities to come together to address poverty in our city, engage in dialogue and overcome our divisions. In response, they created Calgary's Interfaith Council which went on to win the King Abdullah II UN World Interfaith Harmony Week prize. The Calgary Interfaith Council is now an independent organization that works in partnership with the Calgary Alliance for the Common Good. - Learn more about the interfaith council at their website: https://www.calgaryinterfaithcouncil.org
Creation of Enough for All - Calgary's Poverty Reduction Initiative
The Calgary Alliance for the Common Good worked with the City of Calgary, the United Way, and other community organizations to create Calgary's Poverty Reduction Initiative. The Calgary Alliance for the Common Good continues to be a partner in the implementation of this strategy.
Mental Health Training After Calgary's 2013 Flood
After Calgary's 2013 flood. The Calgary Alliance for the Common Good partnered with Alberta Health Services to provide mental health first aid training for community leaders so that they could be better equipped to support people dealing with the long-term mental health challenges that the flood created. This training was then offered in other communities in Alberta.

Merchant Affiliate Program FAQ
- How do you track Affiliate Sales?
- How can my Affiliates receive credit for all sales on my subaccounts?
- Who pays the fees to CCBill and the security deposit?
- Who is responsible for fraudulent charges from an Affiliate?
- Do I have to do anything to issue the checks to the Affiliate?
- What is the charge for printing checks?
- Is there a minimum check amount?
- Can I be notified when an Affiliate signs up with my site?
- Where do Affiliates obtain the HTML code to put on their page?
- If I have multiple accounts, do my Affiliates have to sign up multiple times?
- What does "Allow Webmaster to View Address" in the Affiliate signup form mean?
Affiliate sales are tracked by using cookies that record a consumer's click and IP address and carry that information from the Affiliate's website through to your website. The cookie ensures that the sale is attributed to the Affiliate account that referred the sale, or "click", to your site, thus ensuring that the Affiliate receives their payment for the sale.Back to the top
The Affiliate system permits all of the subaccounts to be "grouped" together and treated as one account. The advantage of this is that Affiliates would only need to sign up under the main account, and they would receive credit for subscriptions made at any subaccount site. However, the banners you create will point to only one URL. If you want several banners pointing to several Websites, do not group your account.

Except with her elemental affinity, it's actually "Lightning Ball, Lightning Ball, Lightning Ball!" But talk about squishy! AC 14 (up to 16 with Mage Armor) and 38 hit points after Toughness! She definitely needs a meat shield to hide behind.

After the pollen used for the production of allergenic extracts has been collected, their identity and purity must be evaluated. Microscopic analysis is performed for this purpose. Currently, pollen purity assessments include counting and identifying biological components contaminating the pollen. However, this method of evaluating pollen purity does not consider either the potential clinical relevance of specific contaminants or their relative volume compared to that of the pollen in the final sample. While the potential clinical relevance of many pollen contaminants is unknown, volumetric counting instead of particle counting could provide a better estimation of the amount of foreign biological materials contained in pollen. However, standardized and approved methods to perform this evaluation are lacking.
For the purpose of microscopic pollen identity and purity evaluations, samples are stained with a solution and examined under various magnifications. Microscopic pollen analysis also can provide valuable information regarding pollen quality for the production of pollen extracts. For example, the presence of a large number of plant parts and a variety of miscellaneous fungal spores generally indicates that the pollen is not sufficiently clean, and that additional activities to remove biological contaminants are necessary. To the contrary, the presence of large amounts of one single spore type, hyphae, and/or sporulating structure indicates that fungi have actively infested the pollen for a period. This pollen should be discarded for the production of pollen extracts.
Qualified individuals should perform the pollen identification and purity assessments in appropriate in-house laboratories at allergen manufacturing companies. However, programs to train individuals and certify such laboratories are currently lacking.
It is essential to perform all activities associated with pollen used for the production of pollen extracts, including identification and purity assessments, in dedicated areas of allergen manufacturing companies where other types of raw materials are not present. Otherwise, cross-contamination of pollen used to produce pollen extracts with other allergenic products will likely occur.

Connecticut GOP leaders get state wage contracts to mull before vote
HARTFORD >> (Updated 3:22 p.m.) Less than 24 hours after a coalition of unions announced it ratified a $1.57 billion concession package, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's administration sent the more than 30 wage contracts for the individual bargaining groups to legislative leaders.
Senate Republican Leader Len Fasano, R-North Haven, said he has been asking for those contracts since July 6. His office said they received them Tuesday night.
Fasano declined to say if he would vote to ratify the labor deal until he's able to analyze the individual contracts. Unlike the health and pension part of the labor deal, those individual bargaining group contracts for wages and working conditions were not made publicly available until after the union vote was finalized.
Fasano argues they're necessary to understanding whether the entire $1.57 billion over two years can be achieved.
"We cannot do our budgets to elections. We have to do our budgets for generations," Fasano said.
Republicans in the House have said the deal doesn't save enough to help Connecticut in the future.
Fasano maintained Tuesday that the Senate Republican plan to legislate changes to the state's relationship with state employees will be better in both the short and the long term.

Linfield vs Rosenborg Football Betting Tips
Champions League qualifiers continue on Wednesday, giving the European public a considerable number of parties to play this weekend in terms of football. Linfield and Rosenborg is one of the games this evening, at the Belfast stadium.
Linfield: Form of the moment, the latest results, statistics
Linfield is far away with second chance in qualifying if we look at the difference in value and experience between this and his opponent, but we will see what the North Irish team will do. The Windsor Park team won the championship without much emotion, but in European Cups things can not have a happy ending, looking at the lack of a more valuable group of players, the UCL being a big glove for this band. With only three matches after the season, and the friendly ones, Linfield is not much of a solution this evening.
Rosenborg: Form of the moment, the latest results, statistics
Rosenborg is moving to Belfast with the will to solve the qualification from the first round, trying as far as possible to enter the European atmosphere with a winning convincing for the new season with high aspirations.
The Norwegian team is in a good shape at the last games in the championship that are in the near future, a very important detail to be mentioned about the northern formation that will have a great advantage in this respect. Although it does not make the brightest start of the championship, things have started to settle in the last two games, both won quite clearly, so the atmosphere before the European duel is very good.
Betting tips and predictions analyzed Linfield vs Rosenborg
Black and white start their favors to qualify and I do not think the outcome will be another at the end of this game, especially since we are still talking about the most important European competition from which it does not fail to disappear in such a manner. So I will bet on a clear victory for the Norwegians who could still get rid of the North-Irish attack and get a goal on the table.
Betting Tips: 2
Odds: 1.44
Bet Tip: 2/2
Odds: 2.14
