Our team of experts in banking and insurance analyses solutions (banking software, insurance software, banking applications, etc.) with the customer and accompanies them throughout the development and implementation process. We provide corrective and evolutive maintenance support for banking applications developed both by us and by third parties.
Our knowledge of the market enables us to develop and implement the best solutions and establish banking product plans on a national and international level.
We have extensive know-how for collaborating in transformation projects in technological banking environments, helping the customer to understand where they want to go, where they are starting from, and how to get there. We work by applying our methodology and internal management tools, as well as adapting ourselves to the customer's methodologies and tools.
Banking continues to enjoy the trust of its customers. However, traditional banking is being strongly affected by enablers and the expectations of customers, regulatory requirements, technology, demographics, new competitors and fluctuations in the economy.
From a technological perspective, the current trend in banking is focused on the following key areas:
Cost savings
Improving customer awareness
Multi-channel and multi-platform access
Security control
In banking there is a clear need to develop a customer-focused business model. Banking will be organised around the customer rather than products or channels. Banks will develop the capacity to see customers as a "segment of one", recognising that they are each unique and adapting the products that they offer.
Social networks will be the main means of connecting, involving, informing and understanding customers, from their behavioural patterns as a group to the special characteristics of each individual.
"Cognitive engagement": Customers will be able to obtain quick and customised services, using data (industry reports, financial news, etc.) through advanced text interpretation and/or the interpretation of images/videos.
New business models. The current trend is shifting away from depending on physical infrastructures to accept payments. Some countries, such as India, have established regulations and devised new business models such as "Payments Banks" as an inclusive mechanism to reduce/eliminate cash payments for all sections of society.
BlockChain: this has emerged as a solution to reduce costs through the secure distribution/execution of transactions ("distributed ledger") .
Banks are quickly working to identify possible partners and build relationships. Many banks have launched FinTech incubators, as well as investing in innovation laboratories. For example: BNP Paribas has launched its own internal accelerators/incubators/technology centres, Lux Future Lab in Luxembourg and TEB Startup House, and it has partnered with other interested parties from the ecosystem, like Partech Shaker and NUMA. Motif Investing has partnered with J.P. Morgan and initial public offerings will be available directly to retail customers on the new online brokerage platform.
Simplification/optimisation of businesses and operating models. Regulations such as PSD2, which obliges banks to open up their services to third parties, require the banking core architecture to be modernised. Banks will offer their products and services in the form of APIs, thus encouraging developers to create innovative applications that can be hosted on the app store of a bank. This strategy will allow banks to address weaknesses. Indeed, customers will be able to compare different banking products and services and have access to more customised resources in order to make decisions, thus increasing competition in the sector.
Monetisation of digital assets There are initiatives like the Open Bank Project that are designed to enhance the range of digital products from banks, using a third-party application ecosystem. It is hoped that white label solutions will be developed, solutions that will be used for a fee (API Economy).
Development of New Products and Services or Concept Testing. Banks will focus on revolutionising their Marketplace, innovating with new products and services for as-yet-unknown problems (anticipating new needs), or those needs which have not yet been properly met.
New ways for customers to interact with banks. Natural voice interpretation as a form of interaction is a trend that is already in its early stages and it will be as disruptive as the touch screen was for keyboards. For example: Capital One ("SKILL") and Amazon ("ALEXA") have combined to offer their customers access to their bank accounts and transactions by using voice recognition. Other banks, such as Wells Fargo, have launched initiatives and are researching the potential use of voice technology.
Advisory banking for risk management and training in legislative compliance up to the implementation of an advisory solution.
Cyber security. This will be a major trend in the coming years. The trend is to implement preventive security platforms based on the collection and ingestion of data from all systems, databases for storing information for real-time use, for Big Data analytics and for correlating all of the information, analysing behaviour and monitoring alerts.
Simplification/optimisation of businesses and operating models. Given the need to cut costs, banking is quickly adopting Blockchain. There is a great deal of interest in "authorised" Blockchains and the scalability models that will be used.
Big data, AI, advanced analytics and cognitive computing. Artificial intelligence and cognitive technologies are mainly being used in customer relationship management, identity authentication, the fight against money laundering, regulatory compliance, risk control and other operational aspects.
One area where banking struggles is giving customers access through remote channels.
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) Based on predefined rules, these tasks are performed with an operational precision of 100%, reducing the run time and associated cost.
Simplification/optimisation of businesses and operating models. One trend that will continue in the coming years is the use of public/private/hybrid clouds. This gives banks the agility and flexibility to increase their computing capacity or address the obsolescence of their current infrastructures, always pursuing cost optimisation.
Automated remote onboarding
A solution that allows bank customers to register and acquire products on their mobile device, unassisted and in a simple and user-friendly way.
Know Your Customer (KYC)
KYC means the controls and monitoring processes that a bank has to know about its new and old customers, to avoid maintaining business relationships with people involved in money laundering offences or terrorism. In Spain this is a legal obligation, governed by the Anti-Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism Act (LPBC/FT), approved in 2010.
Banks are obliged to operate with an advanced KYC process where, as well as identifying the customer, general information will be obtained about them, such as their habits, tastes, hobbies, etc. This will make it possible to improve the product range and customer retention, using Big Data techniques that enable the simplification of operating processes and customer relationships.
Services in the public cloud
Using services in the public cloud will offer banks an improvement in terms of new features, flexibility and agility in deployment (time to market). The challenge lies in integrating new services offered from the public cloud with the current on-premise services.

It's not easy getting enough omega 3s in your diet. Fish contains the highest amounts and we should be consuming at least three 4-oz. portions of oily fish per week. That's a lot of fish! If we want to keep our omega 3 to omega 6 ratio balanced though, there is no easier way to do it. I wrote about the importance of this balancing act for combating inflammation in a previous article. Goodbye inflammation, hello sardines! Sardines contain more omega 3s than almost any other fish. These tiny fish pack in the nutrition. One of the very few natural sources of vitamin D, high in vitamin B12, selenium, calcium, Coenzyme Q10, iron, taurine, and protein, sardines are proven to aid in a healthy body. They're been shown to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease, alleviate arthritis symptoms, slow the growth rates of cancer cells, and even help battle Read More

Fat: the Good, the Moderate, the Ugly
Friends often ask me, "what's the most important thing to change about my diet?" I tell them to eat the right kinds of fat. This has been the biggest shift in my cooking. I've learned that fat is not the enemy. In fact, every cell in your body needs good fat to survive and thrive. So why then did I avoid it like the plague for years? The health community touted the low-fat diet as the be-all, end-all for years and I absorbed every piece of nutrition advice from the media. I think the general consensus for women particularly is to limit fat until we cave and have to eat a whole pan of brownies (What? Don't act like you've never done it.) Documentaries like Forks Over Knives fed my brain with faulty science too. The movie advocates that a low-fat, plant-based diet will combat illnesses. I took it to Read More

The Sands of Delmaria
Dorn Gali'on
The Free-folk Pirate stuck in City folk Politics
Character Sheet
Shh Spells
Soon to come "The Galion" Stores and Materials
Founder of House Gali'on
Dorn Gali'on
Work in progress, spelling errors and confusion ensured
From the Nor'Lak'Tor Freefolk
Adapted from the sailor
Personal Traits: My friends know they can rely on me, no matter what.
Ideals: People. I'm committed to my crew mates, not to ideals.
Bonds: Ruthless Slaver murdered my captain and crew mates,
plundered our ship, and left me to die. Vengeance will
be mine.
Flaws: Once I start drinking, it's hard for me to stop
I use to be part of a crew, once. It was a small crew, part of the Doubloon faction. Arr those were the days, once we set sail we glided along the dune sea searching for the next sense of adventure. It was also when I still traveled with my Older Brother… 1st mate mind you. But that all changed when I learnt my brothers secret… he possessed magic… quite a bit of it too… and well… the tribe may accept magic for it is the way of the free-folk, there are always are always the "hunters" and it was one night while we where tied to a dock , did my tongue slip.
It wasn't until we were anther day out in the dunes did they come for him, we thought they were a simple caravan line that had the "miss fortune" of losing there way, but wen we arrived closer… that was when the chains and irons came out.
My crew was captured, and when they appeared to have no value or magic, put to the sword. I was the last to be valued, and if by cruel fate they recognized me as their source, they tormented that fact over my older brother, that I was the cause of his capture… in the end I ended up like my crew in the sand, tho not by blood spilling around my neck.
When I came to, I pondered my regret and vowed to find my brother again, I buried my crew and sailed our ship back to the nearest port. From there I venture to the city states hoping to one day find the location of the slavers or if luck would have it my brother himself.
And that is how I wound up in Farrain, and how my connection to Burlon began.
It started with a HalflingJayley Leafenwind… In search for her Father.
The Crew was Myself, Jayley and a Spotter called Ricoh
It ended with a Sandworm and us being grounded in a "Reef"
All that survived was a ship's Dingy with us on broad, everything else was lost to the worm and it would of been us as well if it was for Burlon's "intervention"
So now I live in the Beserker's Flagon Tavern, and work as Dune guider under Burlon Stone name. I thought of leaving but I stopped when I meet a Half-Giant by the name of Malgar "Longstrider" Orikanu and discovered he was the last person to of seen my Brother… alive. Here in the city of Farrain.
Recent History
Trying to avoid city politics was as effective as asking the desert to stop spreading sand. Trying all his might, Dorn soon became lost in the political scramble. Any Free-folk would distain him if they saw what he had become. "City soft" they would all most call him… politely.
But alas the crown does have its advantages, off on the eastern wall of Farrain construction has been undertaken, the tavern yard is that another rich fool is trying to build a Nor'Lak'Tor vessel. But the workers don't question the orders for money is money and at least they have more sense.
Dorn is still in search of his Brother and at "Court" he could be consider a 'Deserteer'. His plans is still to find his Brother so they can raise the Galion, but alas he searches have been for naught. Turn out one can't travel far without the Court's suspicions.
That was until a few weeks ago. (Just Narrative for no one has been properly told)
The sandstorms have been quite chaotic this season, the Sands spilling into the city streets as if the desert has realised there is still a patch yet to be claimed. Dorn has also become restless, his nights are plague with partial memories of his Brother and the day of his betrayal, The countless men slaughtered in the city streets, the coming of the Exarchs, the almost failed attempt at crossing the desert, The deadly dances with the raging fire.
Then one night as it all came to another a head, as the memories continued their barrage on his dreams, the sand storm too gained velocity. As Dorn remembers the slashes and flashes his dreams begin to focus on an object hazed in the distance, drawing closer the form takes shape of his trinket, and clearly marked across its face are the three strokes that makes the symbol for REVENGE. And then he hears in a voice that he has not hear in such long time "Dorn…".
Retching from his nightmare, he feel a surging in his veins, he listens and hears no understands the winds that swirl around him. There's a knock at the door, a brief turn of the handle and then the sudden the door no longer stands… it's been blow out into the hallway (thunder wave), the unfortunate person knockout from the surprise. He stares at himself… what has he become.
He then effectively flees his residence and heads towards the Warehouse to the one object that can comfort his fears.
(Dorn has magic, however he believes it is a extension of "The Gali'on" not himself)

North County Times
Shelter critics are in talks with San Diego Humane Society but details of the talks are confidential. Elaine Godzak, a former volunteer with the Oceanside North County Humane Society, was at the meeting and is cautiously optimistic but is not ruling out the potential of going to court in the future.
One of the issues to be resolved is how the Humane Society will comply with a state law [Food and Agricultural Code Section 31108(b)] that requires it to allow rescue groups to take any animals that are scheduled to be euthanized.
Humane Society President Mark Goldstein announced to volunteers at an Oceanside meeting that the Humane Society would discontinue the North County practice of actively contacting rescue groups to see if they want to take dogs scheduled for euthanasia.
Goldstein also said the Humane Society only keeps animals in public view for 5 days but did not elaborate on what happens to those animals after those 5 days.

A tight-knit Muslim community in the suburbs of Washington was in shock after a 17-year-old girl was apparently beaten to death and dumped in a pond following late-night prayers at the local mosque.
Police in Fairfax County, Virginia, have charged a 22-year-old local man, Darwin Martinez Torres, with the teenager's killing, and said on Twitter they were "NOT investigating this murder as a hate crime."
But social media lit up with expressions of anger over the crime, which follows a series of deadly incidents targeting Muslims in North America, and condolence over the sudden, seemingly random death of a young girl.
While the teen has yet to be officially named by police, friends and worshippers at the mosque in Sterling, known as the All Dulles Area Muslim Society, identified her as Nabra Hassanen, from the nearby town of Reston.
The attack occurred in the early hours of Sunday as a group of young Muslims were walking back from the town center plaza after midnight prayers at the mosque, according to accounts by police and worshippers.
"A man who appeared to be drunk got out of his car with a bat," one of the youths, Tasneem Khan, wrote on social media.
All of the youths with the exception of Hassanen managed to run back to the mosque upon seeing the assailant.
Arsalan Iftikhar, an international human rights lawyer and commentator who attended the prayer service, said the teen was "apparently beaten to death by this man."
Fairfax County police spokesman Don Gotthardt told AFP the assault is not being treated as a hate crime at this stage because "there is no information connecting the victim's faith or religion to the crime."
Still, on Twitter, many people expressed incredulity.
"Anyone want to explain to me why this isn't being investigated as a hate crime? I am disgusted and so very saddened by this," wrote someone with the handle @MaisieRae.
"We need strong leaders in this country condemning hate crimes or we need new leaders who will," added @paulshread.
A vigil for the slain girl has been scheduled for Wednesday evening in her home town of Reston.
The attack occurred during the waning days of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, when observant Muslims fast from dawn to sunset. In North America, Ramadan is due to end with Eid al-Fitr celebrations starting Saturday.
The teens had apparently gone out to eat at a restaurant before starting their fast at sunrise. Hassanen was reported missing around 4:00 am and the remains were found at a nearby pond around 3:00 pm.
Police would not immediately confirm the nature of the assault and the exact manner of her death, pending a review by the chief medical examiner.
A widely distributed Snapchat photographic montage showed Hassanen, who wore a Muslim veil, smiling and sporting a golden nose ring.
Last month, two men were fatally stabbed in Portland, Oregon as they intervened to stop a man hurling anti-Muslim slurs at two teenage girls, one of whom was wearing a hijab. Another man who tried to halt the attack was also wounded.
In Quebec, six worshippers were shot dead in an attack on a mosque in January.

|full moon rising
Despite the late hour, I could not sleep. So here I sit, on the front deck of the cabin and watch the reflection of the full moon sparkle on the water as it peeks through the clouds. And I remember....
I don't want to remember, it hurts to remember, but still I remember...
I remember a time when I was happy, and my life was good. A loving husband, a warm home, and a new baby, everything I was always told would make me feel complete. And they were right, I was complete, and completely happy.
|family wall art
I close my eyes, and the memories rush in. There was a time, a long time ago, my mother would wait for me to get home from school. Always interested in my day, always asking questions about my classes and my friends. As a teen, I pitied her. I thought, how sad, to not have your own life, but to be stuck at home, day after day, trying to find happiness through your children. In all my 16 years of wisdom, I tried telling Mom that she needed to get a job, a career, a life. Mom would just smile, pat my cheek, and tell me that loving and caring for me and my Dad was her career, one that she would never trade for anything the world had to offer her.
|navy wedding cake topper
And then it happened...to me. I first saw him on the campus of Stallings University. He was all decked out in his navy uniform, handing out flyers for the local Navy Recruiting Office. There is just something about a man in uniform. He offered me a flyer, our eyes met and our fingers touched, my heart didn't stand a chance. He asked me out for coffee, my mind screamed "no...run", but my heart just smiled and I agreed. Coffee led to dinner, which led to weekends, which led to marriage. Now I understood my mother, her smile, her contentment. Then he was called to active duty.
I sigh, and shake myself. Rising from the deck chair, I head back to bed, hoping, praying, for the dreams to stop.....
To be continued....next Thursday at the Yankee Burrow Storytime.

Creating and managing databases and data-tier applications in Visual Studio
This article applies to Visual Studio 2015. If you're looking for Visual Studio 2017 documentation, use the version selector at the top left. We recommend upgrading to Visual Studio 2017. Download it here.
The database projects that were included in earlier versions of Visual Studio are now provided in SQL Server 2012 tools. For more information, see SQL Server Developer Tools.
You can use database projects to create new databases, new data-tier applications (DACs), and to update existing databases and data-tier applications. Both database projects and DAC projects enable you to apply version control and project management techniques to your database development efforts in much the same way that you apply those techniques to managed or native code. You can help your development team manage changes to databases and database servers by creating a DAC project, database project, or a server project and putting it under version control. Members of your team can then check out files to make, build, and test changes in an isolated development environment, or sandbox, before sharing them with the team. To help ensure code quality, your team can finish and test all changes for a particular release of the database in a staging environment before you deploy the changes into production.
For a list of the database features that are supported by Data-tier Applications, see Features Supported in Data-tier Applications on the Microsoft web site. If you use features in your database that are not supported by Data-tier Applications, you should instead use a database project to manage changes to your database.
Common High-Level Tasks
|High-Level Task
|Supporting Content
|Start development of a data-tier application: A DAC is a new concept introduced with SQL Server 2008 R2 that contains the definition for a SQL Server database and the supporting instance objects that are used by a client-server or 3-tier application. A DAC includes database objects, such as tables and views, together with instance entities such as logins. You can use Visual Studio to create a DAC project, build a DAC package file, and send that DAC package file to a database administrator for deployment onto an instance of the SQL Server database engine.
|- Creating and Managing Data-tier Applications (Microsoft web site)
- SQL Server Management Studio
|Performing iterative database development: If you are a developer or a tester, you check out parts of the project and then update them in an isolated development environment. By using this type of environment, you can test your changes without affecting other members of the team. After the changes are complete, you check the files back into version control, where other team members can obtain your changes and build and deploy them to a test server.
|- Query and Text Editors (SQL Server Management Studio) (Microsoft web site)
- Transact-SQL Debugger (Microsoft web site)
|Prototyping, verifying test results, and modifying database scripts and objects: You can use the Transact-SQL editor to perform any one of these common tasks.

Banking on a loan from his previous employers encouraged Gareth Linden to open his own business.
Absolutely Stuffed is a specialist cafe in Falkirk's Bean Row, close to the High Street.
Gareth and his partner, Jennifer Snedden, offer freshly made crepes, pancakes and waffles, as well as a breakfast and lunch menu.
Previously a chef at the RBS head office in Edinburgh, Gareth wanted to branch out on his own to show his own culinary flare.
RBS helped make the dream come true by providing a small business loan of £16,000 which helped his purchase and refurbish the premises.
Gareth said: "RBS were beyond helpful with the support that they provided, especially Stuart Shand, who was knowledgeable about the surrounding area and passionate about his work."
Stuart, an RBS business specialist, said: "It has been a pleasure getting to know the business and owners – they show real drive and ambition, and I know they will make this a great success."

Teenage daughter dating older boy rez fox dating
A teenage girl talks about wanting to have breast implants.
A mother's preference for partying, boozing and running around with an assortment of sleazy characters results in her neglecting her nubile teenage daughter, who subsequently finds herself mixed up with horny teenage boys, scuzzy nightclub owners and murder.
No one in 1944 if they received the Monogram Daily Star, a four-page tabloid, that was "America's Wide-Awake Newspaper" and was "The First With The Latest." No one needed to pay to see the movie, "Are These Our Parents" either, if they got this well-illustrated edition of the old Morning Star.
[profanity glossary] - Two teenagers smoke marijuana outside a high school and a teenager sells marijuana in a school restroom.
A woman takes a prescription drug for depression, a teenage boy takes Ritalin and becomes hyperactive, two teenage boys sell Ritalin at a high school dance and we see many people running around, dancing and yelling, two teenage boys sell prescription medications in a boy's restroom in a school and a teenage boy talks to a psychiatrist about having fantasies and the doctor prescribes medications Ritalin and Xanax.
We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. "Kids-In-Mind" and "Movie Ratings That Actually Work" are Service Marks of Critics.

There's news again today that Newcastle United are getting closer to signing young Manchester United winger Wilfried Zaha on loan next month for the rest of the season.
Wilfried Zaha – coming to Newcastle on loan
But we wonder if this is a good deal for Newcastle, because presumably the 21 year-old will help us in the second half of this season only – and that's it?
And since he will be on loan, Newcastle will need to play him in games, and therefore he could get preference over other players not starting in the side at the moment – such as Ben Arfa, Jonas Gutierrez and young Sammy Ameobi, and that seems strange, to say the least.
We should be giving our own youngsters opportunities to play, and not doing that for other clubs' youngsters.
And a majority of Newcastle fans – 70% at the time of writing – don't think this will be a good move for Newcastle next month.
Maybe there is more to the move than we know about, but even though Wilfried has had a rough time of it at the Red Devils this season, and has hardly played, if he was to be let go by the Red Devils in the summer, his transfer fee would still likely be too much for Newcastle.
An if he isn't going to be let go – then what are Newcastle doing taking him on loan?
Wilfired signed from Crystal Palace for £15M plus £2M add-ons last January, and while Newcastle had been interested in the player for some time, we couldn't match that fee.
So at least on the surface, this looks a bit of a strange move by Newcastle.
What do you think?

It's seems rather bizarre situation, if true, whereby a loanee has to play a given number of games even though he may be out of firm whilst at the same time an inform permanent player sits on the bench.
I couldn't see Zaha replacing either Goofy or Sissoko when both are playing well. If one of those got injured would Pardew select Zaha over Ben Arfa, I don't think so.
Basically the argument between Ciaran & TDSouth was if 4 players are leaving in the summer should we replace then in January or wait until they are gone. Ciaran wanted to replace them as soon as poss whereas TDS wanted to wait because you would be paying double wages. They both had valid points but to me the club must know their status better than us. For instance they must know if they are going to give Shola another contract, if not then Ciaran is probably right we should be looking now for a replacement. In the case of Cabaye it is probably unknown so we should wait.

Since the creation in 1697 as the first baroque garden, the Schlossgarten Charlottenburg has been restructured several times before it has been restored in the 1950ies after severe destruction in World War II. Some of the details could not be reconstructed, but that does not affect the beauty of the garden at all.
Today the big meadows invite you to pick nicks and sunbathing. Strollers are led along small picturesque lakes and tiny rivers, past the mausoleum of Queen Luise, the Orangery or the small pavilion Belvedere in rococo-style. Many Berliners say it is the prettiest park in the city.

Jamie is a fit bodied lad who plays a lot of football and this shoot is bonus video footage taken during his photo shoot. You will get to see this slightly shy lad get put through his paces and doing a great job of showing off his body and playing around his hole!
Friday 1st Oct 2010
Jay plays professional football and is a young man with a hint of innocence about him; he introduces himself and comments on his feedback from his last video, hinting he may fulfil a few of those requests! A few moments of teasing later and Jay is stood in his boxers and he grabs his cock at full erection, wanking gently through his boxers! A little more playing and he whips down his boxers, his erection springs out and bobs around pumping to his heartbeat! This is one str8 lad who is just so turned on when on camera his cock is looking bursting full ready to explode! Luckily before that happens he lies back and gives the most amazing show of his hole; he pulls his cheeks wide apart and rubs a ringer around and slurp…ooplaa, one has gone in! Some gentle playing around with his hole, an engorged cock stroked at speed and Jay squirts and covers his abs in cum!
Friday 25th Jun 2010
Pro footballer Jay is used to stripping out his kit and showering with the boys and he admits they are all subtly checking each other out so its best to keep things slightly semi! Stripping on camera he says makes him a mix of nervous and quite horny and looking at how easily his cock pops up then I think horny is winning! He has a really nice shaped body from running around on the pitch and he is dedicated at making all the training sessions and he is proud at having a nice firm rounded butt! Once Jay is hard his nerves seem to melt away and he just gets on and enjoys the job in hand! After some cock play Jay lifts his legs up and shows off his hairless hole, so you get a great view of it opening and closing to the twitches of those muscles! Jay lays back and pumps hard on his cock; his head goes back and he dumps his load over his abs! A very happy str8 boy!
Wednesday 1st Sep 2010
Footballing Pro Jay always begins as though he is a little shy though its hard to keep him in his clothes as he loves to show off his young, smooth and muscular body! Once down to his boxer briefs he shows off his cute muscular butt in a few more well fitted boxers before slipping on some black see-through ones that he can hardly pull over his massive thighs! A few push ups and his blood is flowing; his boxers fall down, he rubs himself with oil and Jay's soft cock springs into action pumping to the beat of his heart! Jay surprises me today and when I tease him about putting a finger in he pops one straight in his hole and there is stays sliding in and out his hair free hole! Jay seems to be loving it and fingers his hole in loads of positions; looking at has face I think he is enjoying it; looking at how hard his cock is, he definitely is! After lots more teasy ass play he lies back and dumps his loads over his abs; a very relieved and milked str8 hunk!
Wednesday 26th May 2010

They have been in use since medieval times i.e. since the sixteenth century and are believed to have originated from European countries. In ancient days crystals glasses and ceramics were used to make chandeliers of different sizes and shapes. Chandeliers generally have metal branches which fit the light holders. The metal branches are highly decorated with art work and stylish designs. The traditional chandeliers have flower leaf and creeper designs on the metal branches. But modern chandeliers have classy and trendy art work. The classification of chandeliers is based on the materials that are used to make them. Most of the chandeliers are white in colour because the lighting in chandeliers is by refraction of light through the crystals and glasses used but there are also black chandeliers which are pretty popular because they portray an exotic look. The various types of chandeliers have been discussed below.
Nothing is more romantic than sitting in a living room with a couple of splendid hand forged iron chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. Every chandelier has been carefully crafted to the tiniest detail and helps add a definite sense of beauty to your home. You can find hundreds of designers who are skilled in making high quality chandeliers. The variety of handmade chandeliers that today s world offers is simply unbelievable. Of course if you want the ultimate sense of personality you can find many companies who sell unique pieces of these artifacts from the old times. In any case any luxurious home is considered incomplete in this modern era without a few attractive-looking and classic chandeliers dangling from the ceiling.

A school employee has been arrested after he allegedly pretended to be a teenage girl through a Facebook profile. He has been accused of soliciting minors to send him nude photos of themselves. He faces felony charges in North Carolina of indecent exposure to a minor.
Passing a stopped school bus - changes in the law
Effective for offenses committed on or after December 1, 2013, the Passing a Stopped School Bus law in North Carolina makes several changes including the payment of a minimum $500 fine for the Class 1 misdemeanor. It establishes driver's license revocations for the second misdemeanor conviction within three years. Defendant's failure to pay fine or costs imposed for a violation will result in the Division of Motor Vehicles withholding the registration renewal of a motor vehicle registered in the defendant's name.

North Carolina criminal defense: officer accused of manslaughter
Manslaughter cases that involve police officers in the role of the accused can draw a significant amount of attention, both in North Carolina and across the country. It can often seem difficult for a police officer accused of voluntary manslaughter to receive a fair trial in the wake of such high media exposure. This can make the preparation of such a criminal defense especially critical, considering the high stakes involved for the law enforcement official.
2 North Carolina men face drug charges for heroin trafficking
Unfortunately, North Carolina has seen an increase in heroin charges in this state, and police officers are trying hard to arrest all those that they believe are involved in the heroin drug trafficking trade. On Oct. 5, the Dare County Narcotics Task Force arrested two men on heroin drug charges. The two North Carolina men have also been charged with other drug related infractions.

2 North Carolina men admit criminal charges in real estate scheme
There are many different types of white-collar crimes, and each of those crimes can fan out into several subcategories. Fraud is an especially versatile category; one can commit fraud against a person, a business or even an entity such as the United States of America. In North Carolina, under their plea deal, two men have admitted to the criminal charges of conspiracy to defraud the United States through a series of real estate scam schemes.

I woke up early today, for once. For a lazy sod who's usually not got anything to wake up for and who usually stays up until the early hours talking to Americans, I woke up at 8 AM. 8 AM!
And it's now 10 AM and I'm awake fully! Yes! Awake before noon and actually able to think rationally.
Damned if I can understand why I woke up so early. I guess it gives me an excuse to play games for a bit, though. Or those shirt designs. Meh, decisions, decisions.
Oh, and Jessica did sort out tickets. Next Thursday I must go pick her up from London around 12:35ish.
There's a storm in my teacup!
Well, in my dollar store mug.

This story of a couple taking in 24 kittens is a lesson in compassion and the importance of spaying
As with anything involving the internet and beautiful photos of cats, Mike Shirley-Donnelly's Twitter thread went hugely viral.
Twitter has fallen in love with the tale of a "kitten portal" opening up in a couple's back garden.
On Tuesday, the second anniversary of the first kittens being found, musician Mike Shirley-Donnelly shared the full story in a Twitter Moment.
2 years ago today this first batch of feral little balls of fluff were found in our backyard and it's not hyperbole to say our lives changed a lot as a result. At the time we had no idea how many more would eventually show up— Curious Quail🔜MAGFest (@CuriousQuail) March 27, 2018
WARNING: THREAD OF KITTEN PHOTOSHOOT pic.twitter.com/KGWOXqAC8Y
"A negligent neighbour one street over from the house we were living in abandoned two unfixed female kittens," Shirley-Donnelly told the Press Association.
"Given the local feral tomcat population, they got pregnant almost immediately and since every house in the vicinity except ours had dogs, our yard must have felt safe. We also had some overgrown bushes that we were waiting for the rainy season to end to take care of, but they provided decent shelter for the kittens."
This is how Kindred, Smokey, Possum and Snowapple came into our lives. (The fifth kitten we found a home for later) pic.twitter.com/CWZzdaFGwV— Curious Quail🔜MAGFest (@CuriousQuail) March 27, 2018
Five kittens were now living with the couple, when Delicaye, Shirley-Donnelly's wife, heard meowing outside. It was a sixth kitten from a different litter and they named him Jon Snow. He would later be joined by his two siblings.
Unlike the character he's named after, Jon Snow had siblings. A few days after we'd found him, this tortie appeared. A third and final sibling (a white one with calico ear markings) wasn't found until much later. More on her later but this is BISON. pic.twitter.com/ERAWLwJtYc— Curious Quail🔜MAGFest (@CuriousQuail) March 27, 2018
More and more kittens began appearing in the year after the first five were discovered. In total, 24 kittens were rescued, with 21 being the peak living in their house at one time. All of their stories were told in Shirley-Donnelly's viral Twitter moment with adorable photos.
Every cat that ended up being born in our yard was the result of TWO unfixed female kittens being abandoned by their owners.— Curious Quail🔜MAGFest (@CuriousQuail) March 27, 2018
Two cats + feral toms = 24 kittens in one year, and that is with us ACTIVELY trying to trap/neuter/release. If we hadn't? CATPOCALYPSE. pic.twitter.com/anwCidfPf2
Soon after the kitten portal had been closed by catching and neutering the two original female strays, Shirley-Donnelly and his wife moved to a larger house in Palm Springs to accommodate the new members of their family.
So what's it like living with so many cats in the house?
"It's possible that since we got almost all of the cats from birth or early-kittenhood that they've decided we're their parents, if that makes sense. So there are no aggressive behaviours, no in-fighting, no territory marking, but they all care for each other and are super-affectionate with us.
"We're artists (photographers/musicians) who work from home and we knocked out some shelving to put in-wall litter boxes to keep things neat and clean, sure we go through a lot of litter but when people think "Oh they have a lot of cats? THE HOUSE MUST SMELL TERRIBLE!!" and that's so not the case."
If people take away anything from his Twitter thread, Shirley-Donnelly wants people to be educated about spaying cats.
"I'm not sure how the programmes work in the UK, but at least in California we have trap/neuter/release programmes though local animal shelters where if you use a safe trap (we use Havahart brand ones) and bring the feral cat to them, they'll fix it, vaccinate it and you can return it to where you found it to live out its days in the wild if it's not tameable," he said.
"They notch a tiny little corner out of the cats ear so you can tell from a distance if the cat is fixed or not."

Enhancements introduced in version 67.0 of D-Cubed 2D DCM (2D Dimensional Constraint Manager) include:
The 2D DCM has always had the ability to Fix a geometry, enabling an application to instruct the geometric constraint solver not to move the fixed geometry. The Lock constraint extends the capabilities of Fix.
Locked geometries retain their status codes, rather than just being identified as fixed. Status codes include well defined, under-defined and over-defined. Retention of the status codes helps to diagnose problems with the constraint scheme.
In addition, the Lock constraint can directly fix the direction and centre of a geometry without needing to use construction geometry. This simplifies integration of 2D DCM, and provides a clearer view of the geometric model, its constraint scheme and the associated status codes.
Freedoms of a rigid spline curve without a rotation lock:
Freedoms of a rigid spline curve with a rotation lock:
2D DCM offers various methods and options for automatically identifying dimensions and constraints. In the latest release the application has more control over automatically deduced constraints to the directions assigned to splines and other parametric curves. Also, there is more control over the automated constraining of geometries depending on how far they are apart.
Before and after autoconstraining
The solving performance of many models containing symmetry or pattern constraints has been improved.
D-Cubed 2D DCM (2D Dimensional Constraint Manager) is widely acknowledged as the leading 2D geometric constraint solver. In addition to driving the sketcher in many CAD products, 2D DCM is used in CAM, CAE and other geometry-based applications.

Lalitpur (Pahichan) February 25 – Central Bureau of Statics has realized the need of conducting a census of gender and sexual minority. General Director Suman Raj Aryal said after unveiling multi-indicator Survey, they have felt that it is necessary to collect data about this community.

"In the latest census, we have also mentioned other category along with male and female but members of this community were hesitant to give their identity," said Aryal. Of late, according to them, people of this community are coming up with their identity.
Multi-indicator survey was conducted in 2014 and there are only the figures of children and male have been indicated. There is not separate number of this community.

If you order a carpet for a DeVille or Fleetwood 4 door sedan, the carpet will fit without any modifications to it. The correct carpet to order is the standard with jute backing, and the cut plush pile, or the ultra cut plush pile, in black. I have never seen anything but black carpets in any professional car, but that doesn't mean that they never used a color coordinating carpet. Look at the dash, and you will see that it is black, even though the door panels and seats might be red or some other color.

The 2-Minute Rule for TAI Robotic Review
This TAI Robotic thorough evaluation will inform you whatever you have to understand about this trading system.
Is TAI Robotic a fraud? Precisely how does the synthetic intelligence software application work?
USA traders will not have the ability to register for this offer, if the system spots that you are located in the United States, it will direct you to another offer when you click the link below.
Can It Make You Money?
The TAI Robotic Trend Indicator is a brand new system that was developed to utilize artificial intelligence to improve your trading. Users are reporting as much as $1,300 in revenues in a day.
That doesn't imply that everybody constantly makes that every day, the marketplaces vary from one day to the next, and the system does what software application like this was created to do, to select you the best possible trading setups.
A binary option, or asset-or-nothing choice, is type of option where the payment is structured to be either a set amount of payment if the alternative expires in the money, or absolutely nothing at all if the option ends out of money.
At heart this is what TAI Robotic manages on your behalf.
Download Not Necessary
It works simply as well on any operating system, no matter if it is Windows, Mac, Android, iOS or Linux. The binary options system is readily available for totally free for a limited number of areas per day.
The History Of The TAI Robotic Software
What makes this robotic system so special is that this guy developed a Trading Artificial Intelligence robotic system, based on his operate in making vehicles drive by themselves.
Alex's day-job included making software to enable cars and trucks to drive themselves, using software and hardware by business such as NVIDIA that has just recently started making excellent progress to providing GPU's that can be used by anybody to power Deep Learning neural networks. They even prepare to train 100,000 software developers through their Deep Learning Institute which "supplies training on the most recent techniques for creating, training, and releasing neural networks across a variety of application domains."
Similar to an self-driving vehicle needs to have the ability to read the roadway conditions, and basically deciding like a human would, this system declares to be able to steer your trading account into revenues.
The system was at first conceived of by Alex Knecht, who currently had previous trading experience. In fact, Alex tells us that he started trading effectively when he was a simple 9 years old! That must have been with his father or mommy's money, however I guess if you're that smart not having your very own bank account won't stop you from generating income.
The TAI Robotic system got created for a various factor though. It wasn't created by Alex to make him lots of money, it was really set to assist raise money for his friend Tim to spend for a medical procedure. After he and 10 of his buddies initially put in their own money, $250 each, and used the system to trade so that they could produce adequate cash to pay for his pal's treatment, they chose to release the system to the general public.
The only requirement they requested for is that each person that gets the TAI system free of charge, need to donate $5 to the charity of their own choosing, to keep the spirit of providing alive.
Is TAI Robotic Free?
Is the system free?
You get to use the system free of charge, however just like Alex and his buddies, you will have to transfer a minimum of $250 with a broker of your choosing to start trading with. That money is not to spend for the software application, however to open your trading account.
Unlike other systems that do not allow you to choose which broker you want to utilize, this robo trading system lets you select which broker or brokers you want to use. It is innovative, due to the fact that most systems do not give you that level of flexibility!
I truly like that this system is everything about utilizing artificial intelligence to power trading decisions by utilizing qualified neural networks to make complex choices that the majority of humans are not capable of making. That's the whole point of using computers, isn't it?
Why not simply let a smart software application system do all of that tough work for you if you don't have the time or knowledge to figure out how something works!
There also were no crazy claims of becoming a millionaire overnight, and you can even select your very own broker!
I'm not sure if Alex would really have been able to trade by himself when he was only 9 years old, and I would have liked if he provided us more information about that. Provided the truth that his on-camera look wasn't all that excellent, possibly that simply got left out in the video modifying.

The system was at first conceived of by Alex Knecht, who already had previous trading experience. The TAI Robotic system got created for a different factor. After he and 10 of his good friends initially put in their own money, $250 each, and used the system to trade so that they could generate adequate money to pay for his pal's treatment, they chose to release the system to the public.

A 12-year-old Texas boy was charged Friday with setting a San Clemente brush fire that tore through Trafalgar Canyon in August, destroying six homes and causing more than $4 million in property damage.
The boy was spending the summer with a family in San Clemente and "wanted to see what a big fire would look like," said Tori Richards, a spokeswoman for the Orange County district attorney's office. He allegedly tossed matches into parched brush at the bottom of the coastal canyon near San Clemente Pier, prosecutors said.
Two other minor boys--brothers in the home where the suspect was staying--witnessed the fire but have not been charged, officials said. The brothers tried to snuff out the fire, but the suspect held them back, authorities said.
The charges cap a four-month investigation by the Orange County Fire Authority, which officials said was complicated by reluctant witnesses and lengthy negotiations with the suspect's family and lawyer.

Helping workers who are being abused at home is not only the right thing to do, it also saves businesses money, a new report reveals.
Research by Deloitte Access Economics, launched in Brisbane on White Ribbon Day on Wednesday, aims to inspire employers to join efforts to help those experiencing domestic violence.
It forecasts that the cost of domestic violence to the Australian economy will reach $15.6 billion annually within six years, up $3 billion from the last estimate in 2008-9.
Lynne Pezzullo, the national lead for Health Economics and Social Policy at Deloitte, says ensuring workplaces are safe havens for domestic violence victims is not only good for business, it's the right thing to do.
"Some of the key messages that come from corporate social responsibility are that ... it's not just about the bottom line but they work together - they're aligned with each other," she said.
"This is another case where domestic and family violence impacts corporate life - it impacts morale, it impacts culture and if people are on the phone being harassed that has to impact their co-workers."
Nationally about 800,000 working women are abused by an intimate partner.
The cost to businesses also includes absenteeism due to victims taking time off to seek hospital treatment or moving house to flee an abusive partner.
Workers are also less productive due to stress and anxiety which can also impact on their colleagues.
The research also showed that perpetrators on occasions have used corporate resources, such as phones and video-conferencing facilities, to harass victims.
The report suggests businesses talk to their employees about the issue to breakdown any issues around shame and train workers to identify those in need.
"I think sometimes in the corporate workplace we are here to work and we don't see things that are actually quite clear signs of violence," Ms Pezzullo said.
Providing flexibility around leave and letting people know they can get support at work were also highlighted.
Deloitte, which employs 6000 people across the country, has itself implemented a domestic violence policy to ensure its workers are offered support, including counselling.

As I was rocking my sniffling little boy this morning, I was reflecting on how blessed I was. It seems odd to have this thought pop in your head when you're awakened at 5:45am to the sound of crying and your little one suffering from a runny nose and a fever. But in the midst of his tears and little whimpers, I thought about how much I have and how thankful I am to be where I'm at in life. Here are just a few of the things I considered myself blessed with this morning.
1. My relationship with Jesus - This is something I have been blessed with for a long time, but seldom have the courage to talk about. Sure, people know I'm a Christian, but what exactly does that mean? To me, it means that I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that Jesus Christ died for my sins and has redeemed me. He is my bridge to a relationship with God the Father and I'm so grateful that He guides me through life. I've lived the life without God in it. It's not worth it. Sin is fun for a while, but it definitely catches up to you. And when it does, God is still there, waiting for you to come back, to restore you. I'm grateful that I figured this out pretty early on in college. I'm not perfect, things are not always easy for me, nor do I have life all figured out. But the one thing I do know at the end of the day is that Jesus loves me, no matter what. And that when everything and everyone else fails me, He's always there - encouraging me to stay the course and to trust in Him.
2. My family - Really it doesn't get much better than this. I have the most amazing husband in the whole world. He loves me in a sexy dress and even when I've whipped out the tattered sweatpants. Nothing tells you a man loves you more than when he'll snuggle with you in ratty sweats, wearing no make up, and your hair looks like Woody the Woodpecker may have tried to create a home in it. My son is also incredible. Although parenting has not been an easy adventure, I have a pretty well-behaved, respectful, sweet, and handsome little boy. My prayer is that his little brother will be just a duplicate of those things.
3. My church - When people say they love their church, I often wondered what they meant by that. Do they love the building? The atmosphere? The programing? Just the pastor? When I say it, I mean I love the people. All those extra things are wonderful too, but it's the people that have become dear to my heart. I have made so many friends at our church. These people don't just talk it, they live it. They are there for you when things get tough and love you enough to hold you accountable when you're too blind to see mistakes you're making. They truly love people like Jesus does.
4. Our current situation - I've been a stay at home mom for about two and a half years now. It's been an interesting journey. I've loved being able to be with Gabriel and watch him grow and develop. It's crazy to think that we've been able to manage living off of just Michael's income. (Thank the good Lord for free TV online....) Although we don't have all the latest and greatest things, nicest cars, newest clothes, or the ability to go out to eat all the time, we really do love our life. God is putting a stirring in my heart to go back to work part time after the baby is born, which is exciting and frightening all at the same time. But as it stands now, I'm content with where He has us. Michael has a good job and I'm grateful I get to spend every day molding and training my son to be a good person and a man of God.
There are many more things I'm thankful for, but in the 15 minutes I spent giving Gabriel some much needed snuggling this morning, those are the four things that really stuck out to me. I may not have all the latest and greatest things, but I've got the essentials. That's all that really matters, right?
A Seed of Light - *I don't have time to write tonight, but I feel that I must. * The last three or four weeks have been exceedingly difficult for me. We are implementing a n...

To purchase equipment for life science courses so that there are microscopes for the study of microorganisms. Currently the microscopes being used are over 30 years old and result in large lab groups.
The microscopes at Truckee High School over 30 years ago and have been maintained by measure A funding. Along with the microscope request, come slides; of which are currently belonging to the department, many are broken and unmaintained; a majority of our slide collection have rigid edges from being broken and many are too scratched to see through. The slides being requested include organism samples from every animal kingdom and most common bacteria, along with forensic slides to examine the role of crime scene investigators. At the time the equipment was purchased, it was highly functioning and met the needs of the smaller class sizes and fewer sections of life science courses. Currently, our average life science course is 30 students and we have multiple life science courses being taught at the same time of year. The microscope cabinet will allow for safe transportation of the new microscopes from room to room. The slide cabinet will protect the slides from breakage as well as aid in the organization of up to five hundred slides. With a class set of digital microscopes and new pre-prepared slides, we can decrease lab group sizes. With the purchase of a class set of microscopes, each student will have the opportunity to develop this skills on their own and then present, from their digital screen, what they discovered. Smaller lab groups make access to lab experiences equitable to all students allowing a greater understanding of the concepts.
The purchase of a class set of digital microscopes and slide equipment will lead to more students working with the materials. These requested items will help implement Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). With the adoption of NGSS, the life science courses need to change the way scientific content is being presented to students. The grant would allow for a much needed, inquiry-based, hands-on science experience for all students; since all students at Truckee High School are required to take a life science course. The digital screen on the microscopes and recording abilities allow for more presentation opportunities within the science classroom increasing content area literacy. This transition of materials would influence the pedagogy utilized during instruction allowing an increase in the number of project-based, personalized learning experiences completed within our science courses.
Equipment will be utilized as soon as it is purchased. All equipment is used in experiences in all biology courses (Honors and AP included), as well as the life science electives being taught (Marine Biology and River Ecology). Microscope labs are apart of all units taught in my life science courses.
The equipment will be shared with all other life science teachers at my site. Every student in the school will use these microscopes as all students are required to take a Biology course to graduate. The older microscopes will be used with the freshman science courses to introduce them to the microscope
Measure A funds could be used to purchase the equipment, but it would be purchased at the rate of one or two microscopes a year, taking a potential decade to meet the needs of our growing classrooms.
The life science supplies at Truckee High School have not been updated in some time. With new teachers coming into the department, and a new building about to house us, we need to updated our supplies to best meet the needs of our current students.

Ten years ago, Hurricane Katrina tore through the Gulf Coast and devastated parts of Mississippi and Louisiana, particularly New Orleans. Rescue teams saved victims from the water, which flooded their homes. Reporters captured demolished homes on camera for the rest of the nation to see.
While the many initiatives to rebuild the city – including the reconstruction of homes, new charter schools and a safer flood protection system – have paid off in many respects, some areas are still suffering from the aftermath of the storm.

This series of workshops is designed to improve interpersonal communication skills. They can stand alone or be done in a sequence. Each of them utilizes group exercises, activities, and discussions as well as one-to-one and individual skill practice sessions. Participants learn specific techniques and tools they can immediately apply to their jobs. The sessions are designed to be energizing, informative, and fun.
Leadership in Times of Change
How to Change Horses in Mid-Stream
A horse knows when a rider is uncertain or afraid. So do employees when the leaders of their teams are struggling with change. This highly interactive two or three hour session examines the power of personal focus in leading others through change. It is perfect for teams or organizations that are being combined and working on creating a common culture. Like a good poem, this up tempo session begins with delight and ends in wisdom.
Can we really talk about it?
Nothing hurts relationships more than a lack of trust. And, there is nothing more difficult to talk about than the statement: "I don't trust you." In fact, without trust no team can perform and no leader can lead. This presentation/workshop is designed to create a common understanding of the components of trust and give participants tools for having that vital conversation.
The Critical Element in People Skills
Powerful Listening for Added Value
Most people are talking, listening or getting ready to talk. In fact, most of the time when we think we are listening we are actually focused on our own internal dialogue as we "get ready to talk." In this session we learn how to quite those internal voices and deeply listen to the other person. Great listening is both a skill and an attitude. There is no more powerful complement than to be called "a good listener."
Understanding Personal Styles
Recognizing our strengths and differences
Is it better to jump right into the project or to have lots of discussion first? The answer is: "yes." It all depends on our own personal way of doing things. This module helps each participant recognize his or her own personal style and how that style can affect communication in the workplace. For example, it is an excellent opportunity for technical employees to explore options for explaining technical issues to non-technical personnel.

Office Hours & Fees
Fixed Fees. A fixed fee arrangement accommodates most estate planning. During the first meeting clients describe their situation and goals, and we educate them about their suitable planning options. On determination and selection of the desired plan and accompanying documents, we can then suggest a fee. It is difficult to anticipate what will be the prescribed plan and corresponding fee until after this information exchange takes place in the first meeting. The work is commenced only upon agreement. If clients choose not to proceed, the only fee charged is a reduced nominal fee of up to $375 to cover the legal and tax advice (often extensive) that is imparted in the first meeting.
The fixed fee estate planning package encompasses: a meeting for the exchange of information and for education about appropriate specific planning options and legal and tax issues; preparation of drafts of documents, a meeting for signing review of the documents, execution of the documents, and instructions for any other steps in the plan.
Hourly. For situations that are less defined or more open-ended, the amount of legal time expended would be tracked at rates up to $395 per hour for senior attorney time and lower hourly rates for legal assistant time.
We are available by appointment during general business hours of Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. However, we are willing to be flexible for those whose schedules may require earlier morning or later afternoon/early evening appointments. Home visits can also be arranged for those unable to meet at our convenient office.

My careers as both a librarian and a YA writer require me to keep up with the latest books coming out. I need to be able to recommend books to readers with varying tastes, and I need to know what's being published both within and outside my genre so I can identify comp titles and make sure what I'm writing is selling. (This is not me telling you to write to trends, but if you're writing a contemporary YA your characters need to look, act, and talk like today's teens. Reading the books they're reading is just one way to make sure you're on track.)
I use a number of sources to develop collections, improve my reader's advisory skills, and cultivate my to-read list. Here are my favorites. If I've missed a source you like, please share it in the comments!
YALSA's The Hub — contributors regularly post book lists related to a range of genres and topics, including read alikes for popular movies, TV shows, and video games. Recommendations also include graphic novels and audiobooks. And for those trying to stay up on tween and teen pop culture, they've started posting about things of interest to teens beyond the books.
Teen Librarian Toolbox — this is hands-down my favorite librarian blog. There is so much useful information here related to teen programs and technology, but the contributors also regularly discuss MG and YA books. Karen shares her teenaged daughter's reactions to books (many of them pre-pub ARCs), and Amanda shares the reviews she writes for School Library Journal. Their book lists on tough topics are fantastic, and their reviews are consistently insightful and honest. If I'm thinking of reading a book and see it recommended here, it immediately jumps to the top of my to-read list. And if a review on TLT points out something problematic in a book, I'll try to find a similar book that doesn't have those issues to recommend when teens come looking for that type of story.
Reading While White — examines diversity in children's and teen books, with the authors admitting up front that they are reviewing these works from a position of privilege. This is another place where, if a book gets a good review, it jumps up my to-read list.
Professional journals — my library subscribes to Library Journal, School Library Journal, and Publishers Weekly (among others). The reviews in these journals, as well as the genre spotlights, are useful when trying to decide whether to purchase or read a new book.
Publications by Baker & Taylor — these technically fall under professional journals as well, but they include a wider selection than the publications mentioned above. My library (and many other libraries) orders new materials through Baker & Taylor, and the company publishes lists of all the items they'll be selling in various genres/categories. Common Core and Growing Minds are a good source of MG and YA titles, and CATS Series helps me stay up-to-date on new books in a series.
Adventures in YA Publishing — this blog highlights new books published every week, in addition to author interviews, and writing tips and contests for those who write as well as read YA. I used to follow this more closely, but I've found that most of the books mentioned on AYAP are already on my radar.
Other sources:
Twitter — I follow a lot of publishers, librarians, and authors, and if everybody's talking about a book, I make note of it.
Word of mouth — if any of my writer or librarian colleagues recommend a book, I try to keep the title in the back of my head even if it sounds like something that wouldn't interest me, because every book has its reader.
Shelf Awareness — this company publishes daily newsletters both for readers and for industry professionals (librarians, booksellers, and publishers). Both newsletters cover all genres and categories, with the focus more on adult titles, but they do review some children's and YA books.
Early Word — if there's any big news in the reading world — a famous author passes away or announces a new book, a book gets picked up for adaptation to a film or TV series, a debut author is predicted to be a big name — Early Word will have it.
Those are my main sources for finding new books. What are yours?
