Courtney Liss, Associate, Partnership for Public Service
Why should building an enterprise government matter to our next administration? We're answering that question today in our Q & A with Jane Fountain, Distinguished Professor of Political Science and Public Policy at University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and author of the Partnership for Public Service and IBM Center for the Business of Government report, "Building an Enterprise Government: Creating an ecosystem for cross-agency collaboration in the next administration." This report stems from a roundtable discussion with current and former government leaders, and stakeholders on the topic of enterprise government, one area of focus in our upcoming Management Roadmap for the next administration.
What is enterprise government?
Enterprise government is the concept that we can do better than simply working within agency or department silos, a traditional organizational form where each agency or department doesn't communicate with other agencies. When we think about the enterprise, sometimes we refer to the entire government or government-wide functions, and sometimes we refer to specific groups of agencies or departments that might work together on the specific problem that lies inherently across boundaries. So an enterprise approach is an orientation toward networks of agencies or departments co-producing to create greater efficiency and effectiveness. Cross-agency collaboration allows the government to address challenges it would not otherwise be able to address.
What makes this transition so important for enterprise government?
This transition is important because the federal government can advance capabilities for enterprise and cross-agency approaches that have been in development for about two decades. We have the potential in the next administration to bring greater coherence and effectiveness to a whole range of enterprise and cross-agency initiatives, both on the mission support side through shared services, but also by addressing problems and challenges that really require multiple agencies to work together.
Why should transition teams be thinking about enterprise government now?
Traditionally, transition teams look at specific agencies and specific policy areas. They are obviously the bridge from the campaign into the formulation of policy and operations in the new administration. From the start, transition teams need to be thinking about what policies of a candidate really are cross-agency or enterprise in nature. No matter who is elected, for example, immigration is likely to be a priority. There may be different approaches to thinking about how to move forward on immigration policy. Almost all of them will include multiple agencies because economics, law enforcement, immigration processes, education and health all play important roles in improving immigration policy. Moreover, for most complex policy problems, multiple agencies have to be involved to craft workable solutions. From the start, the transition teams should be thinking about what groups of agencies they need to bring to bear on the key problems and challenges the next president wants to address.
What are some key actions transition teams can take to build an enterprise government?
As they start to think about the people that they want to tap for managerial and executive political appointments, they should select those who have management experience at an enterprise level. We can't afford to put someone into a chief cooperating officer position, which is an appointed position, who doesn't have robust management experience because from day one they're going to have to understand how to work on complex cross-boundary challenges. The next administration will need political appointees for management positions who have considerable enterprise and cross-boundary experience.
How can cross-agency collaboration improve our government's function?
There are considerable cost-savings available. The iconic example is reducing more than 140 different payroll systems in the government down to four. It took many years to get there for something as simple, in a way, as a payroll system. There are a number of standard administrative systems that most every agency is involved with. In many cases, they are quite similar, or exist in a few variations. Being able to rationalize, standardize and streamline those functions can bring substantial savings and simplification to the government.
The other primary improvement is mission related: the ability to address problems we otherwise couldn't address. I think veteran homelessness is a great example. After many years of working on that problem, researchers and government experts realized if you don't have stable housing for a veteran with mental, physical or other types of problems, you can't even begin to work on those problems. So the Department of Veterans Affairs could be putting enormous resources toward mental and physical health, but if they didn't address the fact that a veteran didn't have stable housing, the health interventions simply would not work. To help veterans, it became clear that two agencies with completely different functions—affordable housing is very different from the medical and mental health work of the VA—would have to coordinate. The two agencies found a way to work together very successfully, and the cross-agency initiative has had a huge impact on helping our veterans.

Secondhand Smoke Increases Stroke Risk
LifeSource Vitamins
Secondhand smoke, also known as environmental or passive tobacco smoke, is a mixture of the smoke from a lit cigarette and the exhaled smoke from the smoker. Environmental tobacco smoke is a human carcinogen, accounting for about 3,000 deaths from lung cancer in nonsmokers each year. It is also responsible for about 40,000 deaths from heart disease in nonsmokers each year.
Children are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of secondhand smoke. Exposure increases the number and severity of asthma attacks and ear infections, young children may develop serious lower respiratory infections such as pneumonia and bronchitis, and infants are more likely to die from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
The new study investigated the possible connection between exposure to secondhand smoke and the risk of stroke in 5,379 women. Participants were asked about their smoking status (whether a current smoker or nonsmoker), number of cigarettes smoked per day, number of years of smoking, and whether their spouses smoke. In the eight years following the initial interview, the number of strokes among the women was recorded. Strokes were classified according to type: ischemic (reduced blood flow to part of the brain) or hemorrhagic (a bleed into the brain).
Among women who smoked, the risk of strokes was almost six times higher and the risk of ischemic stroke was nearly five times higher in the women whose spouses also smoked than in women with nonsmoking spouses. It is interesting to note that, among nonsmoking women, the spouse's smoking status did not affect their risk of stroke. This finding may be explained by the tendency for spouses of nonsmokers to avoid smoking around their wives. It is also possible that the spouses of the nonsmoking women may have quit smoking during the follow-up period, thereby decreasing the risk of stroke in their partners.
Stopping smoking decreases heart attack risk and helps improve lung function. Ten years after quitting, the risk of developing lung cancer drops to one-half of that of current smokers. Within 5 to 15 years of quitting smoking, the risk of stroke is similar to that of someone who has never smoked. These results add to the growing body of evidence about smoking's negative effects and provide smokers with more incentive to quit.

OK! Autumn is finally here in Austin TX!
Yeah, we're a little later than most when it's time for the temperature to cool down. BUT, we're here in 80-degree cool, crispy, fresh air. It no longer feels like a greenhouse and my hair will hold a curl longer than 30 minutes!
Austin, the place where us women convert our flowy sun dresses into a flowy fall dress. (This means adding plum nail polish). The place where we can still comfortably sit on the patio in the evening with a local pumpkin beer. Pups and besties in tow as we listen to a band play our favorite Schneider song. I mean, I LOVE summer but Fall is my 2nd favorite for sure. There is just so much change and relaxing going on at the same time, it makes my soul smile! But as I sit and drink my WARM Vietnamese coffee, I usually start making my Fall Cleaning Checklist. It's the same every year, I just write lists so I feel accomplished. I also must have a clear precise chronological process all put together on one paper, or else! Or else I will be running in circles for days trying to get it all done right.
After Summer, my house is pretty bad. There is a dark-dirt-shadow on all the corners of the house, where the kids grab every time they pass it. Like "Why, for the love of God, do you all need to slingshot yourself around every corner of the house? Just WALK around it without slapping it like it's stolen the heads of your Barbie's!". Anyway, I'll never understand it, I just roll with the funk of life and clean it later. Well, guess what Brandi!!! Later is here! Like, right now, you have run out of tomorrow's and you have to clean that mess up! So, I make my list and put all of the duties in order, in a way that makes sense and saves me time. The list is the easy part, getting up and actually executing it is the rough stuff. I have been using the 3-2-1 rule for things that I would normally put off. That means instead of sulking in the thoughts of what I need to do, I just say 3-2-1 and then I go get it done. Without thinking about it. Just do it!
Before you close your windows for the Winter, print this list and 3-2-1 yourself into action. You will feel so good after it's all done and you know you relax on the deep cleaning until Spring. Follow the steps in the order they are laid out, to save time. Let me know if you have any questions about any of the steps or what products I like to use in my home and my clients' home's. I'm never too busy to help. And as always, if you have a friend who could take advantage of this list, forward it to them.
Washing Linens:
Collect all of the bedding from each room and wash it all according to it's washing instruction labels. I like to wash all of bedding on the hottest setting (for my washer that's the sanitary setting), Tide, and plenty o' Downy Unstoppables. While it is washing, sprinkle the mattresses with baking soda. Vacuum it up before putting the sheets back on. After it is all washed, and the beds are made, I spray it with some of my DIY fabric freshener. Ask me how to make it!
While your bedding is in the wash, grab your step ladder and extended Swiffer. Starting upstairs (if you have an upstairs) dust the areas where the ceiling meets the walls. Dust the vents, light fixtures, fans, lightbulbs, tops of door frames and picture frames. Dust all bookshelves, electronics, décor, tables and window blinds.
With the soft head attachment of your vacuum cleaner, suck up all of the dust and gunk out of the sides, tops and inside the tracks. After they are all dust, dirt and bug free, wash the windows on the inside and outside with a mixture of:
- 3.5 oz. of Jet Dry
- 4 Tablespoons Alcohol
- 1/4 Cup Ammonia
- 1 handful of powdered dish-washer soap
2 Gallons of Hot Water
Unless you want to paint your entire home, chances are you will need to WASH the walls and baseboards. By wash, I mean Mr. Clean Sponge every spot or shadow on the walls, doors, baseboards and cabinets. Also pay attention to the underside of the cabinets where it meets the floor. Ours are always so dirty with spills, splatters and I don't know what else.
Backsplash and Tub Tile:
You can either use a Mr. Clean Sponge on the tile and backsplash or a Mr. Clean spray solution and non-scratch sponge. If they are super dirty use a bucket of hot water (as hot as you can stand) with Dish Soap and a non-scratch sponge. If there is mildew, use your favorite mildew remover. Usually some bleach spray works great for me.
I use a razor blade scraper (from Home Depot). I CAREFULLY (it's a razor) run it along the tops of my counters and quickly remove any stuck-on mess. Wipe that 'mess' off onto the floor. Use a Mr. Clean or Bleach Solution spray and clean with a non-scratch sponge. And finally, I use Windex to shine them babies up!
Sinks, Baths and Toilets:
Using a Bleach Solution spray the sink, tub or toilet and clean edges and corners with a toothbrush. Use a non-scratch sponge, scrub the rest. Rinse sinks and tubs with hot water and dry.
Deep clean the interior and exterior of all your appliances. This includes your dishwasher, washing machine and dryer, stove and oven, fridge, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, etc.
Shampoo all the carpets and rugs in your house!! If you don't have a shampooer, rent one or hire a company to shampoo your carpets. Depending on your area, do some shopping around to find the best one. They also offer grout cleaning (which is next) which could save you lots of backache. Clean your grout in tile flooring with your favorite grout cleaner from your local hardware store. These cleaners are extremely tough so be careful and wear gloves! After the grout is clean, mop the floors with bleach solution water and dry them. You may want to consider mopping twice to make sure you got it all. Get behind and under EVERYTHING.
Clean all of your tables with hot water and soap solution, dry with separate towel. Use murphy's oil or Pledge to finish them off! After you vacuum, all fabric should be shampooed as well. Couches, upholstered chairs and cushions, shampoo them all. There are plenty of ways you can do this on Pinterest.
Change all of your air filters.
Go through your drawers and cabinets and get rid of anything you haven't used. Consider donating them! While the cabinet and drawer contents are out, clean the inside of the drawer and cabinets. I use hot water and soap with a microfiber towel.
Go through all of your piles of papers (mail, school papers, art, cards, bills, etc.) and organize or shred as needed. Clean that mess up!!
Fun Extras:
Re-arrange your furniture. Switch it all up and maybe check out some feng shui ideas.
Incorporate new fall scents. Wax Melts, Candles, Oils, etc. Always makes me nostalgic when it counts.
Put up some Fall Décor to get you in the mood.
Add a temporary mud room if you don't have one. I don't, so I get creative in the Winter months. There is always so much "Door clutter" in the winter. I CAN'T STAND IT!!!! So, what I do is add a huge basket for boots, shoes, gloves, hats and umbrellas. I also hang up a wooden plank coat hanger for our jackets and scarves. Or else they will be hanging over your chairs and couches…….you know they will!

Seed beads were openlyfavorite among the people as they were used as anembellishment on outfits and other objects. In many circumstances, the seed beads endorsed people to augment their attires much more decoratively than had earlier been imaginable. Seed bead production agencies have manufactured them in a great way, and they are strung on threads to create lampshades and jewelry, woven on looms to make articles of clothing and other domestic items. They are also employed on the thread and stitched into elegant patterns. They are embroidered together so regularly that a fullsubgroup of beadworking and beading has grown up.
Seed beads are offered in avariety of colors. They can be opaque, transparent, metal finished, metal lined, color lined as well as frosted.Various kinds of beadsthat seed bead production businesses have produced and some of them are listed below.
- Berry Beads:
Miyuki recently releases the Berry beadare peanut shaped and is alike to the Toho and Matsuno Peanut beads.
- Cube Beads:
The cube shaped beads come in different three sizes. The cube beads that are produced by Toho have the additional benefit of a diamond designed hole making sure the beads sit properly in design.
- Bugle Beads:
A thin, long, tubular shaped bead, either straight or twisted, which can be simple, hex cut or two cut are known as bugle beads.
- Drop Beads:
The seed bead production agencies have designed drop shaped beads that come in four sizes, and there is a hole in the center of every bead. Drop beads are also known as Fringe beads.
- Farfalle Beads:
Farfalle beads are named after the Italian word for butterfly, namely farfalle and they are double drop shaped beads that are used to make jewelry and in outfits for embellishments.
- Rocaille Beads:
These are pronounced as roh Kai and were traditionally round that are silver-lined seed beads having square holes. Nowadays the term only speaks of to all round seed beads of the category that most folks readily subordinate with seed beading. These contemporary beads usually have round holes, but Toho has lately re-introduced Rocailles with square holes to deliver greater precision when placing them in designs.
- Peanut Beads:
At first,peanut beads were introduced by Matsuno, but now they are also part of the Toho collectionas well. This bead is peanut shaped and seems like two drop beads are combined.
- Oblong Beads:
This formappears to be exclusive to Preciosa and is an extended, slightly flat square or cube-shaped bead with a round hole in the center. Seed bead production firms also produce them with a beveledhole edge as well.
These were some of the popular types of beads that are manufactured by the seed bead production companies. Some other types of seed beadproduction that are also used in jewelry making as well as in embellishing outfits, bags and to enhancelampshadesare spiral beads, star beads, square beads,tila beads, triangle beads, three cut beads, two cut beads and true cut beads.

SEO and PPC: each has its own merits when it comes to online marketing, but it is becoming more and more clear that a combined SEO and PPC approach has even greater benefits. PPC provides a great way to get a company's product or website seen, but it's important that the ad is working to drive consumers to exactly what they are looking for at the right time. That's where SEO comes in.
The new iOS update has arrived, and it's the most wonderful time of the year for iPhone and iPad users…or is it? Apple unveiled its latest features last week, and some people are less than impressed. Apple is calling iOS 7, set to be released this fall, the "biggest change" since the original iPhone was introduced to the public. But are these changes too similar to other current operating systems and apps on the market?
Home Screen
Apple has decided to completely revamp the visual aspects of the iPhone. Home screen icons are now bolder, and the "slide to view" feature is now gone. In fact, the lock screen looks strikingly similar to Android's.
Notification Center
Aside from the visual changes, the control center gives you access to several features like Wi-Fi, airplane mode, flashlight, and more.
Many people are comparing the new Mail app to an existing one called Mailbox due to the new swipe features.
Users have been asking for multitasking features for a while, and now they'll get them. The option is being compared to WebOS developed by Palm.
A new flipping card-tab overview is similar to that in Google Chrome for iOS and Android. Safari will also now offer full-screen browsing, and searches can be performed in the address bar.
Siri now has new voices with a flat new interface, and the voice system can control new functions like brightness and playing back voicemails.
iOS 7 will include a new iTunes Radio player to match streaming services like Pandora and Spotify.
Users have been asking for a way to organize photos by date and location. Photowerks, a 99-cent app, was developed to do just that. Less than a month later Apple announced a new option called Moments as a part of the new update, and it does the exact same thing as Photowerks.
What do you think? Do you like the new designs and changes, or are they too similar to other apps and systems? Let us know what you think in the comments below!
In 1982 a young college drop-out named Bill Gates made the world a far more boring place by inventing the desktop computer. Using a clunky platform tediously named Windows, he proceeded to gather other dull, like-minded sheep to breathe in his lack of imagination and so the world was indoctrinated into the Microverse.

Jump-Start Your Garden Indoors
By Gretchen C. Van Benthuysen |
It's the first day of February, the time of year gardeners' thoughts turn to getting their hands dirty, whether that happens by starting seeds indoors for transplanting outdoors or checking outdoor shrubs and plants to bring indoors.
Die-hard gardeners have been perusing garden catalogs and websites since they began arriving in the mail and online around Christmas.
Every year new varieties of plants, shrubs and vegetables join the old faithfuls. The perfect time to plan that garden is when it's cold outside.
And on those slightly warmer days, get outside and see if some of your hardy perennial herbs such as sorrel, sage or oregano may be awakening. Or trim the forsythia and bring the branches inside for forcing. (More on that below.)
For Monmouth County, which is mostly Zone 7A inland and Zone 7B along the shore, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Hardiness Zone Map, you should start seeds for broccoli, cauliflower and peas by the middle of this month. Lettuce, kale, cabbage and carrots by the first of March. Beans and squash April 1.
Already confused? Not to worry. There's help everywhere.
Brock Farms in Colts Neck is hosting its first Indoor Gardening Day from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Feb. 17. Seminars on seed starting and lighting, creating fairy gardens and terrariums, and beekeeping and pollinator-friendly gardens are planned.
Assistant store manager Quinn Lahm said indoor gardening of all kinds has increased in popularity, especially hydroponics, and she wanted to highlight that.
"People want to get into it, but a lot of them don't know the right way to start seeds," she explained. "They don't understand the basics. And they don't want to appear dumb, or uneducated.
"I also wanted to do this event around the same time people are starting their seeds, especially the home gardener, the hobbyist," she said. "It's a nice open way to come, ask questions, and learn. We want to become their spot to get the help and advice they need."
Lahm has worked here eight years and said millennials, in particular, are showing increased interest in gardening. And she would not be wrong.
Millennials (ages 18-34 in 2015, according to the Pew Research Center) are the fastest growing garden segment, according to a 2014 special National Gardening Association report, "Garden to Table: A 5-Year Look at Food Gardening in America." In 2008 there were 8 million millennial food gardeners. In 2013 there were 13 million, up 63 percent. Millennials also nearly doubled their spending on food gardening from $632 million in 2008 to $1.2 billion in 2013.
Not only that, the report found that more households with children participated in food gardening, increasing participation during the same time period by 25 percent, from 12 million to 15 million.
"All of our events are kid-friendly and very, very hands on, but low pressure," Lahm said. "The beekeeper (Rutgers Master Gardener and a branch secretary for the New Jersey Beekeepers Association Angela Juffey) is bringing milkweed and clay to make milkweed bombs so people can toss them into their gardens so they will have milkweed flowers for the pollinators and the bees."
"I'm really, really into bees so I'm thrilled,'" Lahm said. "Actually, I've gotten the most buzz (yes, she said that on purpose) and the most positive feedback about that particular seminar so I'm really looking forward to that."
Among the events planned for Feb. 17 are: Seed Starting & Lighting Requirements for Indoor Growing; Making a Fairy Garden; Easy Terrarium Gardening; and Beekeeping & Pollinator Friendly Gardens.
A longtime event that always goes over well is the annual Deep Cut Orchid Society show and sale in the greenhouse at Dearborn Market, 2170 Route 35, Holmdel.
The show runs Feb. 8-11. Show hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. Admission and parking is free.
"If you want to enjoy these exotic blooms, but are worried that they are difficult to grow, don't despair," said Deb Bodei, Orchid Society president. " There are plenty of fool-proof varieties that will flower again and again with the minimum amount of fuss."
The event features garden exhibits and orchid displays by local and international orchid growers. American Orchid Society judges will award the best exhibit and orchid in show. Experts are available to answer questions. Raffles and silent auctions are planned throughout the show.
Guided tours and educational workshops are available for all levels of orchid enthusiasts. To coordinate a show tour, call Carol Abaya at 732-536-6215. For general information, call Show Chair Helen Kroh at 732-241-2483.
The Monmouth County Park System offers classes year round for adults, children and families, including two 90-minute classes this month appropriate for beginners on how to start seeds indoor.
The activity includes planting an early spring, self-watering seed tray with a variety of spring crops to get a jump-start. They are scheduled from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Feb. 24, and from 3 to 4:30 p.m. Feb. 28, at Deep Cut Gardens Horticultural Center, 152 Red Hill Road, Middletown. Each class costs $36.
A new class for adults, Native Plants for Pollinators, is scheduled from 12-1:30 p.m. Feb. 15 and costs $15. It explores the use of native plants to create a low-maintenance landscape whose blooms benefit native pollinators, such as bees and butterflies.
To register and see a list of additional activities, visit www.monmouthcountyparks.com 732-842-4000, ext. 1. or in person at the Thompson Park Administration Building, 805 Newman Springs Road, Middletown
Sickles Market, 1 Harrison Ave., Little Silver, offers gardening tips on its website broken down by month. They also offer tips on indoor air plants, succulents, orchids, toxic and nontoxic house plants.
This month, the site warns us to keep an eye out for indoors pests such as white fly and scale, and suggests a systemic powder to prevent attacks all winter.
This time of year also is good for cutting branches from forsythia, pussy willow, quince and flowering cherry, peach and most fruit trees, for indoor displays.
Sickles' florist suggests placing the branches in a large bucket of warm water, add a tablespoon of bleach (to stop bacteria from forming) and a teaspoon of liquid flower food. When the flowers begin opening, transfer to a vase with water and keep in a cool spot away from the sun. Mist frequently.

I haven't said much about politics on these pages lately, which should have been rather surprising. Since Tony Abbott and his Liberals (with a capital L, who happen to be the exact opposite of liberals) took charge they seem to actively ruin every good thing they can put their hands on. How come I'm silent? I think I was silent because there is so much crap going on, I'm overwhelmed.
Luckily, I do not need to speak for myself. WA Greens senator Scott Ludlam has done that for me, and done it exceptionally well. So, without further ado, here is what I think of the current state of Australian politics:
To put things in context, Ludlam's speech was made ahead of his upcoming campaign for reelection. Which presents me with a fine opportunity to say why I haven't gone out of my way to support the Pirate Party's ongoing WA senate campaign: I think Ludlam is doing an excellent job, being by far Australia's most important elected official. I think if Ludlam fails to get himself reelected, the results would be tragic to the whole of Australia. Last year's elections have made it very clear his position is on the line. Therefore, I think it makes more sense for the Pirate Party to stand behind this candidate, no matter how green he may be (which, in my opinion, is not bad to begin with), rather than compete with him.
Back to the original topic at hand, another Green - you may have heard of him, his name is Bob Brown - published an article to counter Tony Abbott's famously dumb "loggers are the ultimate conservationists" speech. Have a read of Brown's words on The Guardian here.

The Akola Project – The spirit of Love
The Terra Cotta Woman believes what goes around comes around and nothing feels better than helping those in need. This June we celebrate that spirit of love and generosity from The Akola Project out of Uganda. The word Akola translates to mean, "to work in the spirit of love" in the Lusago dialect.
The Akola Project is a partner of the UAPO, the Ugandan American Partnership Organization, that was founded in 2007 to actively participate in Uganda's development through sustainable partnerships. Buying these gorgeous necklaces supports over 200 women in rural villages that face incredible hardships of poverty, drought, and disease. In fact, one fourth of the women from the Akola's project have HIV/Aids.
"The project generates valuable income for school fees, medical care, and food, empowering women to uplift the lives of their families and communities."[vimeo 32516759 w=640]
These gorgeous necklaces are made from handmade paper beads and Ethiopian pendants. They are earthy enough to pair with your summer linens and stylish enough to add flair to a cute summer dress. In fact, the first time we saw them was on an Annie Griffin dress in the showroom!
We are honored to not only support such an amazing organization, but share it with our community and you as well! This month we donated a necklace to our local "Art for Life's Sake" benefit at Desotorow Gallery. Now, we are thrilled to have the chance to give you a little bit of Ugandan love! It's time for another…

So, I used to take pride in having watched zero of the 'best' movies of the year when the Oscar's rolled around. I avoided them all and instead watched Dazed and Confused, Clerks, and Lebowski on repeat (Okay, I still watch Lebowski a lot..and Dazed and Confused). But for the last few years, I've made an effort to watch all the 'Oscar buzzing' flicks in lead up to the nauseatingly glamourous awards show during which we should all be playing drinking games on phrases like 'Who are you wearing?' and 'I'd just like to thank ____'
I don't know why I decided to all of sudden start watching them but it happened two years ago – boredom…free streaming sites….single-hood. Regardless, here are my very brief thoughts of this year's 'best' movies:
First up, the ones that done got snubbed this year:
A Ghost Story: Too artsy for Oscar?
I guess so – snubbed.
The Big Sick: game changing comedy.
This is one that should have finally given the comedy genre some Oscar love. Nope – snubbed.
Blade Runner 2049: I never saw the original Blade Runner, so not qualified to comment.
But I will anyways – loved it. Unreal action movie with cool plot, but….snubbed.
Good Time: One of the year's best.
Robert Patterson totally redeems himself. Twilight still lingers over him, though so…snubbed.
The Killing of a Sacred Deer: Dark as fuck.
Wow, that one stayed with me for awhile. But just like the director's film The Lobster last year, it was also…snubbed.
And now for the films that Oscar liked:
Lady Bird: cool, funny, endearing.
I love Greta Gerwig's brain. I love Saoirse Ronan's acting skills. I love Laurie Metcalf (she'll win Best Supporting Actress)
Get Out: I'm scared of rich white people in the south too.
My favourite performance from this movie was Lakeith Stanfield, but he wasn't nominated. No one can seem to figure out what genre this movie belongs to.
Dunkirk: one of my least favourite war movies.
My least favourite Christopher Nolan movie. It's chalk-full of great actors who barely get to act. Great opening scene, though.
The Darkest Hour: should be boring, but isn't.
Gary Oldman carries it by bringing Churchill alive. He should win Best Actor for sure.
Call Me By Your Name: wonderful, honest, homo-erotic.
A coming of age tale that's beautifully shot to represent Italy in the 80s. The speech by the father to his son is the best dialogue I've heard since the dinner scene in Before Midnight.
The Post: I'm tired of Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep.
I stopped watching after thirty minutes. This style of political drama's been done so many times, it seems so tired next to movies like Lady Bird, Get Out, Call Me By Your Name, and the Shape of Water.
The Shape of Water: science fiction meets Cold War meets Beauty and the Beast
A love story is deserving of mad respect, but not one of my favourites. Fascinating blend of genres, though. Hawkins does an excellent job (I'd give her Best Female Performance)
Mudbound: a good movie, but not a great movie
Mary J Blige is a highlight in this story of the post-war South, as is Jonathan Banks' chilling role as the father. I don't see any Academy Awards in Mudtown's future.
Phantom Thread: never thought I'd love a movie about a domineering dress-maker
The performances are that good. The only threat for Gary Oldman winning best actor is Daniel Day Lewis in this, his final performance. The interplay between him and his sister is excellent – the biggest threat to Laurie Metcalf in Lady Bird is Leslie Manville, but no nomination for Vicky Krieps as the love interest?
Florida Project: seemed like more of a documentary
Interesting perspective of kids in a housing project. I liked that the welfare mom was so multi-dimensional. And Willem Dafoe is just so damn likeable in this one.
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri: best movie I saw this year.
Frances McDormand nails it. Woody Harrelson Nails it. Sam Rockwell definitely nails it. This one just might take home all the Oscars.
Hope that was helpful. Enjoy the Oscars, and don't forget about the drinking games.

In Europe local journey businesses and companies outside Europe focusing on worldwide travel (like ) could have low fares as a result of they use very low so referred to as consolidator fares. These Journey Pillow For Airplanes is such an important invention especially for those lengthy flights. I've typically wondered how an individual that wanted to travel cross country for a 12 months or 2 would be capable of get their mail. I may be late to the game, however one little change really made a wonderful affect to my travel expertise. Flying with Incapacity provides neutral info and advice to anybody who has a incapacity and needs to travel by plane.
Observe, on many events you will have totally different baggage restrict allowance, particularly if you happen to travel exterior the US. For example, if you journey to Europe with one connection, however have 2 separate tickets issued, it is vitally probably that both tickets may have completely different baggage allowances. I bought a new Kindle Paperwhite to take with me on an international journey and it was one of the best travel items I ever bought for myself. I have been planning to journey to Israel for a while now… however I hate those crowded tours that our country offers… I think simply going there as a household could make extra sense to us.

Update: I just came across this amazing tutorial on making a reversible banner so you can use it for two holidays! Score! The next banner I make will definitely be done this way since it is so practical.
Burlap is cheap, only if you buy it by the yard and not in pre-cut pieces. The craft stores are smart and have seen the burlap trend catch on so they sell smaller pieces ready to go with a hefty upcharge. When I went to Joann's the burlap I choose was under $4 a yard and I had a 40% off coupon I used. I purchased 2 years with an intent to use it for some other projects.
What you need:
1 yard of burlap
a small paintbrush
acrylic paint
twine, rope, ribbon, cord, etc.
Letter stencils of a size that works with the size of flag you are making
a piece of paper, pen and ruler ( or a computer and printer)
paper bags or something to cover your work surface
First, draw or make on the computer a flag shape on an 8 1/2 x 11" sheet of paper to create a template. You can do whatever size you like but this is what I did mine on. My printer is not currently working so I just measured the mid point of the 8 1/2" size and used a ruler to draw up to the opposing corners and cut, pretty easy. Use this template piece to cut out your flags on the burlap. I am a perfectionist by nature but I have learned to let it go on a lot of things. This is one, the flags will not all be perfect in size and have straight cuts. Its really note a big deal to have these little flaws especially on burlap.
Next, cover your work surface with paper bags or something so you don't get paint all over. Decide on the location you want your letters to go and keep this consistent across every flag. I used a magazine (couldn't find a ruler during this step) to create a line from the bottom of the letter to the next flag to determine placement. Holding your stencil over the burlap, apply the paint in a tapping or stippling motion, being careful to hold the edges tight. I was a little worried while I was doing this as I couldn't see the clear stencils very well and I didn't tape the stencils down so edges would lift up. Mine still turned out pretty perfect (shocking for me!). Now lay them out to dry. Feel free to play with the amount of paint you use. Doing lighter and darker spots would create more of a printed or stamped look. Or try doing it light all over to give a more aged look. I would suggest washing each stencil right away so you remove any signs of paint. I waited until I had done four and it was a pain to remove it, at least on the type of stencils I had. I would also suggest purchasing stencils that are any color other than clear. The clear against the burlap was very hard to see when you were trying to apply the paint.
Once the paint is dry you can gather up your flags and whatever material you are using to string the sign. I used a twine I found in the beads section at Michaels, that they referred to as cord. I didn't have a big enough needle to thread the twine through so I just poked the needle through the burlap to create a wider hole to put the twine through. As you are doing this, make sure you are consistent in the placement of the holes on each flag.Thread the entire flag. My twine began unwinding so I dipped it in a bit of melted wax from a candle to make my own needle out of it and it worked so much better. When you are done, find a fabulous place to hang your new sign!
Think of all the things you can make these signs for:
- baby announcement/showers/births
- nurseries and Children's rooms
- everyday home décor
- other holidays
- weddings, showers and bachelorette parties
- parties or events
- lemonade stands
- Your child's play areas (theater, grocery store, restaurant, whatever else)
What have you been making with burlap lately? I would love to hear some other ideas!

CHARLES (1421-1461), prince of Viana, sometimes called Charles IV. king of Navarre, was the son of John, afterwards John II., king of Aragon, by his marriage with Blanche, daughter and heiress of Charles III., king of Navarre. Both his grand-father Charles and his mother, who ruled over Navarre from 1425 to 1441, had bequeathed this kingdom to Charles, whose right had also been recognized by the Cortes; but when Blanche died in 1441 her husband John seized the government to the exclusion of his son. The ill-feeling between father and son was increased when in 1447 John took for his second wife Joanna Henriquez, a Castilian princess, who soon bore him a son, afterwards Ferdinand I. king of Spain, and who regarded her stepson as an interloper. When Joanna began to interfere in the internal affairs of Navarre civil war broke out; and in 1452 Charles, although aided by John II., king of Castile, was defeated and taken prisoner. Released upon promising not to take the kingly title until after his father's death, the prince, again unsuccessful in an appeal to arms, took refuge in Italy with Alphonso V., king of Aragon, Naples and Sicily. In 1458 Alphonso died and John became king of Aragon, while Charles was offered the crowns of Naples and Sicily. He declined these proposals, and having been reconciled with his father returned to Navarre in 1459. Aspiring to marry a Castilian princess, he was then thrown into prison by his father, and the Catalans rose in his favour. This insurrection soon became general and John was obliged to yield. He released his son, and recognized him as perpetual governor of Catalonia, and heir to the kingdom. Soon afterwards, however, on the 23rd of September 1461, the prince died at Barcelona, not without a suspicion that he had been poisoned by his stepmother. Charles was a cultured and amiable prince, fond of music and literature. He translated the Ethics of Aristotle into Spanish, a work first published at Saragossa in 1509, and wrote a chronicle of the kings of Navarre, CrOnica de los reyes de Navarra, an edition which, edited by J. Yangues y Miranda, was published at Pampeluna in 1843. See J. de Moret and F. de Aleson, Angles del reyno de Navarra, tome iv. (Pampeluna, 1866) ; M. J.

An Illinois tour bus company has been ordered out of service for being an imminent hazard to public safety, according to a Thursday news release from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
Illini Tours Inc. of Champaign, IL, is a passenger carrier tour and charter service that operates five motor-coaches with services in Illinois and neighboring states. The order names the company and its president, Robert L. Frazier.
Among the findings of a March 2013 compliance review were charges that the tour company "does not have systematic vehicle inspection, repair, and maintenance programs in place to prevent the operation of unsafe motor coaches" according to the order.
Investigators inspected four of the company's motor coaches and found various brake deficiencies, air suspension pressure losses, and a wiring problem that caused a two-foot spark when one motor coach was started during the inspection.
The company was also cited for failing to correct safety-related defects listed on vehicle inspection reports. At least one of the buses was kept in operation for several days despite the fact that drivers "repeatedly listed a problem with the anti-lock braking system indicator light" on the vehicle inspection reports.
The owner of Illini Tours, Robert L. Frazier, is also the owner of Lex Express, Inc./Lincolnland Express, a passenger carrier ordered shut down by FMCSA in December 2012 for multiple violations, including making false entries on vehicle maintenance records and failing to correct identified safety defects contained in drivers' inspection reports. The imminent hazard out-of-service order cited Frazier's history of operating motor carriers in an unsafe manner.

The Usambara Mountain is an upland area which lies to the south-east of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania Northeast
These mountains are part of the Eastern Arc, an ancient range which runs from the Shimba Hills in Kenya down to the Udzungwa Mountains in southern Tanzania.
They are ecologically very important since they massively pre-date the more recent volcanic landscapes of this region and host a prodigious number of endemic species, leading them to be known as 'the Galapagos of Africa'.
They are estimated to be at least 100 million years old and the rocks forming them may be as much as 600 million years old. The mountains are home to an exceptional assortment of plants and animals and represent one of the highest degrees of biodiversity on the continent.
The range is divided into two by the north-south Lwengera Valley.
To the west, walking trails in the mountains are generally accessed from the historic village of Lushoto.
To the east the Amani Nature Reserve contains some of the most bio-diverse rainforest in Africa.
This leafy highland town is nestled in a fertile valley at about 1200m, surrounded by pines and eucalyptus mixed with banana plants and other tropical foliage. It's the centre of the western Usambaras and makes an ideal base for hikes into the surrounding hills.
Lushoto is also the heartland of the Wasambaa people (the name 'Usambara' is a corruption of Wasambaa or Washambala, meaning 'scattered').
Local culture is strong. In Muheza and parts of the Tanga region closer to the coast, Swahili is used almost exclusively. Here however, Sambaa is the language of choice for most residents.
Sight Seeing while in Lushoto
Irente Viewpoint (5-6 hours, 15km)
From Lushoto, hike to this outlook for spectacular views of the village of Mazinde and the Maasai plains almost 1000 meters below. Eat lunch at the Irente Biodiversity Farm in their beautiful flower garden.
Magamba Rainforest (5-6 hours)
Walk through villages and farm land to the lush rainforest where you can see black-and-white Colobus monkeys. On the way back, pass by the historic royal village of the Kilindi (the Washambaa ruling clan) and an old German bunker dug during World War I.
Bangala River (5-6 hours, 15km)
Beginning at Mbuzii, descend slowly down the steep slopes of the Bangala River Valley toward the rising savannah heat. Visit a tree nursery, see traditional irrigation systems, and take in breathtaking views of the Maasai Plains.
Mkuzu Waterfall (5-6 hours, 15km)*
From Muller's Lodge or Migambo Village, walk through the colorful forest to this local waterfall. Extend your tour by climbing Migambo peak (2400m high!).
Lushoto Town Tour (2-3 hours)
Explore Lushoto and learn about its rich history. View old structures from the town's German colonial period. On Sunday and Thursday, this tour can be combined with a visit to the colorful Lushoto market.
Montessori Sisters of Ubiri (3-4 hours)
A short walk from Lushoto, visit this beautifully landscaped Catholic mission. Learn about, taste, and buy their locally made cheese, wine, and jams.
Growing Rock (5-6 hours)
From Soni, walk through the villages of Shashui and Kwemula to Kwamongo Peak ("God's Peak"), famous for its multicolored butterflies and spectacular views of Lushoto and the Handeni plains. Stop by the Soni waterfalls on your way back to Lushoto.
Amani Nature Reserve
Nestled at the base of the central Usambara Mountains, the Amani Nature Reserve is well off the beaten path of the usual safari circuit, but makes a perfect stopover on longer trips and while driving to the Swahili Coast. It's quiet, tranquil setting offers the perfect opportunity to relax from the rigorous schedule of vehicle-based safaris.
Although the area has been the focus of conservation efforts and botanical research for over a century, the Amani Nature Reserve has only been a protected area since 1997. International efforts to preserve the beauty of the Usambara forests within its boundaries have met with much local success.
Guided nature walks are a unique feature of the nature reserve and offer an exciting opportunity to view the flora and fauna of the area up close. For the aspiring African botanist, Amani Nature Reserve's incredible diversity of plant life – between 600 to 1,000 different species – is sure to attract.
Amani Nature Reserve is a centre for biological diversity. The floristic composition is very diverse and there are 2012 vascular plants species per hector. Thus a large proposition of the endemic species are found within Amani Natural Reserve. The Reserve have been likened to the African equivalent of the Galápagos Islands in terms of their endemism and biodiversity. Therefore it is considered one of the most important forest blocks in Africa.
Research centre tour: This takes 1-3 hours walk around the plantation of ABG and in the immediate surroundings of the National Institute for medical Research Amani centre.
This is 4 km walk for a round trip for about 1-3 hours. This includes a climb of about 150m through a natural forest and plantations of ABG to a fine view of the surrounding country side.
With a surface area of 68,800 sq km (26,600 sq mi), Lake Victoria is Africa's largest lake. In addition, it's the largest tropical lake in the world, and the planet's second largest freshwater lake. Only North America's Lake Superior is larger.
An irregular quadrilateral in shape, Its waters fill a shallow depression in the centre of the great plateau that stretches between the Western and Eastern Rift Valleys.
Many archipelagos are contained within the lake, as are numerous reefs, often just below the surface of the clear waters. Lake Victoria has more than 200 species of fish, of which the Tilapia is the most economically important.
The Kagera River, the largest and most important of the lake affluents, enters the western side of Lake Victoria just north of latitude 1° S. The only other river entering from the west is the Katonga, north of Kagera. The lake's only outlet is the Victoria Nile, which exits from the northern coast.
The Lake Victoria region is one of the most densely populated in Africa; within 50 miles (80 km) of its shores live several million people, nearly all Bantu-speaking. There are local steamer services around the lake
Mwanza City
The city of Mwanza is the major Tanzanian port on Lake Victoria and a major centre of economic activities in the region. The lake borders the country's East African neighbours – Uganda to the north west, and Kenya to the north east.
Export and transport among the countries is a foundation of Mwanza's economy. Around the city of Mwanza, the land is primarily devoted to agricultural enterprise. Tea, cotton and coffee plantations throughout the area produce large volumes of cash crops that pass though Mwanza on their way to market. The town's industrial harbour and busy streets make it a prosperous and busy place to explore.
For visitors, the city makes a good base from which to explore the nearby Rubondo Island National Park and the western parts of the Serengeti.
Rubondo Island National Park offers pleasant day-hikes and bird watching around the lake shore. Mwanza's proximity to the western Serengeti makes it a necessary stop for visitors who want to experience a less bust part of the park and see the magic of the Serengeti without the parade of safari vehicles and seasonal crowds. Mwanza is also the centre of the Sukuma tribe, the largest tribe in Tanzania, who have inhabited and farmed the region for centuries. Cultural tourism programmes to their local villages and farms can be arranged through the local cultural centres.
Rubondo Island National Park
Located on the south-west shores of Lake Victoria, Rubondo Island National Park includes Rubondo Island and several other small islands of Lake Victoria.
The park boasts for its rich and diverse variety of butterflies and bird life, easily viewable from the lake shore. The rare Sitatunga, an extremely endangered amphibious antelope, can sometimes be viewed escaping from the charging predators by hiding and camouflaging itself in the lake shore marshes.
A visit to Rubondo Island National Park offers visitors a break from game viewing in the tranquil peace of a lake shore setting. Exploring the islands within the park creates an excitement for day trips. Fishing expeditions into Lake Victoria are easily arranged through the major lodges. Rubondo Island National Park is a relaxation from the rigorous safari circuit and a relaxing place from which to explore Lake Victoria.
Park attractions are a variety of water birds , Eurasian migrants and introduced African grey parrots, High density of African fish eagles are distinctly seen here.
Also you can site animal species like Sitatunga, Elephants, Giraffes, Hippos, Bushbucks, Pythons, Crocodiles, Chimpanzees (not fully habituated), Bush pigs and Suni.
Another attractions are …Magnificent view of one of the last remaining representatives of evergreen dense primary lowland Congolese forest with a unique habitat mosaic in the midst of high biodiversity value,
Clear sighting of both sun rise and sun set,
"Birds Islands", breeding sit for water birds & a Crocodile Island
different sights which together bring the aesthetic value of the park thus adding to visitors satisfaction.
Lake Tanganyika is the world's longest (660km), deepest in Africa and second-deepest in the world (more than 1436m) and second-largest (by volume) freshwater lake. At somewhere between nine and 13 million years old, it's also one of the oldest. Thanks to its age and ecological isolation it's home to an exceptional number of endemic fish, including 98% of the 250-plus species of cichlids. Cichlids are popular aquarium fish due to their bright colours, and they make Tanganyika an outstanding snorkelling and diving destination
Lake Tanganyika is situated on the line dividing the floral regions of eastern and western Africa, and oil palms, which are characteristic of the flora of western Africa, grow along the lake's shores. Rice and subsistence crops are grown along the shores, and fishing is of some significance. Hippopotamuses and crocodiles abound, and the bird life is varied.
Lake Nyasa, also called Lake Malawi, lake, southernmost and third largest of the East African Rift Valley lakes of East Africa, lying in a deep trough mainly within Malawi.
Lake Nyasa (Nyasa means "lake") is located at the south-west of Tanzania, The lake lies in three countries, Tanzania , Malawi and Mozambique. It is the third largest in Africa (after Lake Victoria and Lake Tanganyika) with 550 kilometers length and 75 kilometers width, covering an area of more than 11,400 square kilometers. In some parts, the lake is as deep as 700 meters.
The Lake lies in the sided walls of mountain ranges: the forested Livingston Mountains and Nyika Plateau, which provide the magnificent view of the lake from far and the landscape for hikers and backpackers.
Lake Nyasa is also among the Great Rift Valley's lakes, which shares some of the characteristics with lake Tanganyika. The lake has a distinctive characteristic: 14 rivers pouring their waters into the lake, and only one river which flows out to the sea, River Shire.
The Lake also has a lot of names such as "Lake of stars" which is provided by the lovers who trip their and discover it one of the dreamy and romantic destination in Eastern Africa. It is situated between Malawi, Mozambique as well as Tanzania. It has so many things to offer such as numerous opportunities for water sports as well as diving. The lake is enormously rich with diverse fish species and is one of the most appealing lakes that offer unforgettable underwater views!
Some parts of the lake offer nice beaches and places to swim. Matema, in the northern part of the lake is considered to be the best beach for people who like to relax swim along the lake shore. In contrast to other lakes the water of lake Nyasa is bilharzias free. There are also caves and interesting waterfalls to see.
Other activities include local canoeing ride down the river, hiking on surrounding mountains.
Though Lake Nyasa does not receive many tourists, the lake is magnificently attractive and is rich in crocodiles and hippopotamus. For Fish lovers, Lake Nyasa is biologically the most diverse lake, containing approximately 30% of world's cichlid species (colorful fish which are easily seen in the lake's clear water)
Lake Chala is a unique caldera lake, and is thought to be the deepest inland body of water in Africa. This lake is fed by underground springs from Mt. Kilimanjaro.
The lake has a great diversity of life. From lush lake shore forest to stunning volcanic savannah; from river beds marvelously carved through ancient rock, to thick bush or open 'mbuga'. Walking at Lake Chala is a magical experience that will put you back in touch with nature.
The lake is fed by groundwater flows, which come from Mount Kilimanjaro, fed and drained underground with a rate of about 10 million m³ / year. Depending on the time of year, it ranges in colour from deep blue to turquoise and green, it is surrounded by a 100 metres high crater rim.
Chala has a huge variety of amazing trees, grasses and plants; some are unique to the area. According to the time of year there are hundreds of species of butterflies and birds, including spectacular birds of prey. The African Fish Eagle, with its haunting techniques, Verreaux's Eagle, Augur Buzzards and many other species of birds can be seen around the crater walls. Wild mammals do vary including Blue Monkeys, Colobus Monkeys, baboons, dik-dik, kudu and elephant. Chala is an untouched part of a truly ancient land and a must visit place.

In June, I hope to get through the following:
- The green/purple/blue Monkey socks I've currently got going
- Mum's garters, about 3/4 done after last weekend!
- The mittens that went into hibernation after post-test-knitting frogging
- The big batch of powder-blue spinning fiber I've been working on for the last couple of months
- One granny square a day for my granny-ghan
- As much progress as possible on the bedspread
I plan to devote July to shawls and a pair of not-yet-cast-on simple socks, since I have two shawls on the go right now, desperately need more socks, and have committed to knitting 4 pairs this year for Mission:Possible.
Finishing all of the above would take me down to 4 WIPs. And depending on my energy levels and free time, I might even get through the bedspread - leaving me with 3!

Two months ago, Microsoft acquired Acompli, a developer of email apps for iOS and Android. Last week, Microsoft launched a new Acompli — rebranded as Outlook for Mobile. The new Outlook app is a significant improvement over Microsoft's OWA app.
When I wrote about the Acompli acquisition, I listed three possible benefits that Acompli could bring to the Outlook experience. Microsoft delivered on all three, plus a couple of bonus benefits. Here are five reasons you should start using the new Outlook for Mobile app.
1. Multiple email accounts
Finally! I really wanted to love the OWA for iOS app, but it had a severe limitation. It only worked with one email account. My primary email account is an Exchange / Outlook account through Office 365, but I have a variety of email accounts I use, and a few of them are Gmail. With the new Outlook for Mobile apps, you can add email accounts from Exchange, Outlook.com, Yahoo, Google, or iCloud.
The best part is that all of them appear in a unified inbox. That's a trick that even the full Outlook desktop application can't do (and desperately needs).
2. Focused inbox
Most email services and clients have some sort of spam filtering capability. A lot of email falls into a gray area, though. It's not spam, per se, but it's also not important — and you don't need it distracting you or cluttering your inbox right this minute. The Focused inbox of the Outlook for Mobile apps solves that problem.
The app sifts messages into one of two categories: Focused or Other. The Focused messages should be the ones that are more important, while the Other messages can wait until later. One way to think about it is that the Focused messages are the ones that deserve your attention when you're checking email on your mobile device, and the Other messages can wait until you get back to your desk.
You can move messages manually into or out of the Focused inbox and the app. The app learns over time which messages you think are important and which are not, so it will improve its ability to sort Focused from Other.
3. File attachments and cloud integration
Handling file attachments for mobile email just got a lot easier. When you tap the Files icon at the bottom of the app, it will display recent file attachments in your email — separated by email account. You can tap the file to send it as an attachment in a new message, save it to your mobile device, or share it with others.
Outlook for Mobile allows you to integrate OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, and other cloud storage accounts with the app for quick access to all of your files. You can easily share or attach files from any of your cloud storage accounts.
4. Calendar
The OWA app for iOS already included the associated Outlook calendar, but this is a vast improvement. The calendar is easier to access and work with, and it's integrated directly into the mobile email experience.
There's also a new Quick RSVP feature that lets you respond to meeting invites directly from the inbox without even opening the actual message. When sending an email, you can tap the calendar icon to create a meeting invite for a specific date and time. What's even cooler, though, is that you can tap "Send Availability" and highlight various dates and times that work for you and let the recipient choose a time that works.
5. Swipe to schedule
You can swipe left or right on messages in the app to perform different functions, which you can customize in Settings. You can choose to archive, delete, schedule, move, mark as read / unread, or flag a message simply by swiping left or swiping right.
I have mine set up to delete the message if I swipe left. It's very useful for quickly cleaning up the inbox.
For the right swipe, I configured it to schedule. The schedule tool help me triage my email inbox without letting important messages fall through the cracks. I often read a message and think, "I'm busy now, but I'll act or respond to this later this afternoon," and then I forget.
Schedule lets me swipe to the right and choose in a few hours, this evening, tomorrow morning, or pick a custom time. When the chosen timeframe arrives, the app will bring that message back to my attention so I don't forget it.
The new app is brilliant. It's a much better tool for my needs than either the default iOS Mail app or the Microsoft OWA for iPhone app. Now, I'm just counting the days until Microsoft figures out how to bring the unified inbox, which shows all accounts together in one place, to the Outlook desktop software. Maybe Outlook 2016?
What are your thoughts about the new Outlook for iOS and Android apps? Let us know in the discussion thread below.

The TV Everywhere initiative is alive and well.
Under the terms of the deal, Comcast's 21.4 million cable television subscribers will be able to view CBS shows on demand through Comcast's websites, at no additional cost. If the account holder is also paying for HBO or Cinemax, he or she will be able to catch the premium network shows online, at any time.
The HBO and Cinemax deals aren't really a surprise. Parent company Time Warner
Comcast is trying to keep subscribers from bolting. It's also putting pressure on other companies that once threatened to do in old-school television.
(NASDAQ:TIVO)has been a thorn in commercial television's side, as it arms viewers with the ability to devalue ads by flying through the sponsored spots. With digitally delivered on-demand offerings, TiVo -- and even a cable provider's own DVR box -- will be harder sells.
- Folks have been flocking to Google's
(NASDAQ:GOOG)YouTube in droves, but the success of Hulu has proved that even video-sharing buffs gravitate toward professionally produced content. TV everywhere will make it easier to consume cable content, at the expense of the clip-culture mindset.
Comcast's offering isn't a slam dunk, though. It still has to persuade most of its programming providers to hop on the bandwagon. Even CBS is onboard just for the technical trial that will open the service to only a few thousand Comcast subscribers. It's hard to see CBS backing out after the trial is over, but this is a point that needs to be made.
In the end, the cable channels will play nice. If Comcast sheds subscribers, the channels will receive less money from Comcast. They are all on the same page here. Comcast has its heart in the right place. Cable bills are stubbornly high throughout the country, in part because cable content providers such as Viacom
Couch potatoes are having enough. Some subscriber services, such as DISH Network
TV everywhere is huge, because the alternative may be TV nowhere.
Google is a Rule Breakers stock pick. Finding out why is just a 30-day free trial subscription away.
Longtime Fool contributor Rick Munarriz believes that TV Everywhere is superior to TV Somewhere. He owns shares of TiVo and is also part of the Rule Breakers newsletter research team, seeking out tomorrow's ultimate growth stocks a day early. The Fool has a disclosure policy.
