Hi! My name is Jenna Kidd and I am a Registered Nurse at Sibley Heart Center Cardiology. It is a pediatric cardiology clinic with Children's Health Care of Atlanta that serves southwest Georgia and surrounding cities. I help pediatric patients with congenital heart disease on an outpatient basis and absolutely love my job and the company I work for! I am a crafter, jewelry maker/designer, Christ follower, a wife to a very patient, wonderful man, and a mother to two very rowdy, loving, and handsome little boys. I am originally from Ivey, GA (outside of Macon, GA) but currently reside in my husband's home town of Albany. We have 3 dogs and spend a lot of our weekends at our family's plantation in Newton, GA.
My families journey with essential oils began when this mom was at her absolute wits end about what to do next in the health and well being of our family. Essential oils have been that for us! My son's respiratory system has been supported and our over well being enhanced. So thankful. Also I found a network of other like minded wives and mamas that have been willing to help out and support my journey. The wellness community aspect of the Golden Drop Society has been HUGE!! Essential oils have provided my family with the answers to what's next and I feels secure in the fact that they are all natural. Since using the oils daily, I have other success stories that have amazed me and my fellow co-workers. I would love to share this experience and incredible community with you!

The loss of a loved one is a devastating event for any of us.
The grief we experience is overwhelming, we don’t know which way to turn, we feel lost and we feel alone. Each of us who mourn are blessed to be comforted by God.
The pain of a loss will never go away completely, but in time it will fade to a tolerable level and peace will be restored to your soul. This journey we walk is one we never have to do alone. God is there to love us, to comfort us, to hold us and to bring us peace.
There is no right or wrong way to mourn. In Eastern cultures of Biblical times, mourning was emotional, external and not quiet. Many times mourners were hired to weep, wail and carry on.
We have all been to funerals where there are those who don’t believe and therefore may not be comforted. There is comfort for some but not for others.
As we believe, we mourn and we are comforted.

Rocco's Doughnut Co., a Millbury doughnut shop, is expanding to a second location in Westborough later this year.
The shop's second location will be at 3 Colonial Drive in Westborough, just off East Main Street on the northern edge of the town center. The site is directly behind a Dunkin' Donuts, with a Gourmet Donuts shop just up East Main Street.
The 1,500-square-foot space Rocco's will occupy was formerly home to Regatta Deli, which now operates only out of its Worcester location at 28 Lake Ave.
Rocco's announced the news Monday on Facebook.
The Millbury Rocco's is open only Thursdays through Sundays until noon, but the Westborough location is expected to have more hours, including some evening hours, potentially with ice cream service and music, said Vinny Astrella, a member of the family that owns and operates Rocco's.
The Millbury location, which opened in March, is far smaller, with limited parking and no seating. The Astrellas decided on the Westborough site after finding many of its customers came from MetroWest. The new location will include seating and, with a larger kitchen, an ability to broaden coffee offerings and accommodate bulk orders for businesses or weddings.
"It was a good opportunity," Astrella said, adding of the Millbury location at 238 Millbury Ave. "It's a great place, and obviously we've done really well there."
Rocco's is named after Vinny Astrella's grandfather, who was an early franchisee for Dunkin' Donuts in the 1960s. The shop's logo is a stylized image of a real photo of Rocco Astrella making doughnuts.
In addition to Vinny Astrella, those involved from the family includes Dominic Astrella, Vinny's brother; Kerri Astrella, his sister; and Joe Astrella, his father. The family has always had a love for doughnuts, and Kerri made what Vinny said was a joke about starting their own shop.
"We put it all on the line for a hunch that people in the area wanted it," he said.

Feel like you need a pot of gold to promote your book?
Well wouldn't you know? It’s your lucky day!
No, we aren’t sending you a check. But we are going to share some book marketing tips that will help you feel like a lucky leprechaun when promoting your book on a budget.
Before you do anything, know exactly what you have to spend—in money and time—to ensure low risk-high return marketing investments.
One of the biggest mistakes made by those marketing a book on a budget is spreading themselves thin, without a defined target or goal.
First, define your target audience by asking questions like: Who makes up my target audience? What are their demographics? Where do they interact?
Once you’ve answered these questions, take a step back and determine how much money and time you can invest in a book marketing plan. For example, flooding your social media channels with promotional content might seem like a good move, but first consider how much time you can spend trying to get people to engage with you on Facebook.
A well-thought out book promotion plan is a colorful rainbow of varying tactics, all leading to that pot of gold filled with increased book sales. However, make sure you’re spending time, money, and effort on connecting with the right people in the right way.
Nothing beats picking the brain of someone with experience who has been through it before. Whether you’re reaching out on industry forums, tweeting at successful authors you’d like to imitate, or sending an email to a friendly publisher - you may be surprised with how willing people are to share book marketing tips rooted in years of experience.
Do this in a humble and impassioned way, and asking for advice may pay off in more ways than one—including getting on the radar of industry movers and shakers.
Asking around and putting yourself out there, where the book people are, increases your visibility.
Say you post a question on an author forum. It piques the interest of a popular author who then tweets about your book to his 86K followers.
Free publicity. It could happen to you!
Ask yourself what you can get for Free (or at a very affordable cost).
You don’t need to be a coding expert to make your place on the internet. Nor do you need to promise a web developer two month’s salary and your first born, to build a website capable of promoting your book. Or struggle trying to find a coder who can outfit your website with ecommerce functionality to encourage books sales online.
All of these things can be done with little to no financial investment. You will, however, find the costs in time and effort (building an email list without paying for one isn’t easy, but it can be done). That is why, before you start down any of these paths, do research. Follow the steps we’ve outlined and figure out which methods are best for you. Then, make a plan.
Host a Book Launch Event – A book launch event might have some upfront costs, such as a rental fee for the event space, and advertising dollars to spread the word, but it’s a great way to get in front of your target audience and create excitement around your book. To seek a more inexpensive route, take stock of the relationships you’ve cultivated - is there a local bookstore you have a stellar relationship with, or a friend with a knack for entertaining? Don’t be afraid to ask for (free) help!
Wrote a sci-fi novel? Give away tickets to a local sci-fi convention.
Published a woodworking book? Consider a gift card to a home improvement store.
Contests and giveaways come with extra costs, but the return on investment will be worthwhile in book promotion.
Distribute Advanced Reader Copies – These are copies you send to retailers, reviewers, or select readers before your book is available to the public. You’ll have to pay printing costs, along with shipping, but it’s a great way to get a head start on book promotions and build that buzz.
Research Paid Advertising – Ads on Google. Ads on social media. Ads in wholesale catalogs. Ads in your local bookstore. With so many advertising options, there’s bound to be one that fits your target audience and budget. And if you’ve got some green leftover, advertising is a great way to expand your reach and build more conversions from the outside-in.
We hope these tips helped get your creative juices flowing, but the key thing to remember, as it is with all budget friendly book marketing tips—do your research. Don’t spend time or money on marketing ventures that are risky or won’t engage your audience. Budget and plan and you’ll do just fine.

How the built environment affects physical activity and how changes in the environment can promote active living are issues that have captured public attention. There are many other links between health and the built environment, however, from air quality to food access. The Design for Health (DFH) project and its online presence, www.DesignforHealth.net, synthesizes the evidence base linking landscape, urban design, planning, and health.
Phase 1 of the Design for Health project took advantage of a specific situation in Minnesota. In the Twin Cities all municipalities update their plans on a 10-year cycle, mandated by the Metropolitan Council, with a deadline in 2008. Furthermore, the $286.4 billion transportation bill, SAFETEA-LU, provided over $3 billion exclusively to construct infrastructure for active living and active transportation. Of this $25 million had been earmarked for improvements in the Twin Cities. These events created a vital window of opportunity to integrate healthy-living principles into municipal plans and formed the impetus for Design for Health, Phase 1.
More information is available at DFH History and Activities.

I've got an AE project that is 5K by 6K resolution with 10 layers and is 1000 frames long.
I need to make a Photoshop file for each frame that will maintain all of the layers. Rendering a Photoshop sequence flattens my layers.
Instead of going frame by frame and using the "Save Frame As..." (which takes several minutes per frame), I need a script that automates the process. Any help is appreciated.
I don't know of any way to export photoshop layers via scripting. You could, however write a script to render each layer as a separate file for each frame. From there, I guess you could have a photoshop script that comps them all together into one file.

California is suffering from its fifth year of drought, the states of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka in India are arguing over the sharing of Cauvery river water , and food security for 36 million people  is threatened due to drought in large regions of Africa. On the flip side, Bangladesh, Maldives, and other island nations are confronted with the threat of rising seas, while extreme rainfall and flooding (as experienced by Haiti just a few weeks ago) are expected to become increasingly common. Even without these extremes, almost every country is facing its own challenges in managing water resources.
Israel’s relentless focus on efficiency is reflected in their non-revenue water, or water that does not reach customers, which in most cities is as low as six percent. To put this in context, non-revenue water is 25 percent in Washington D.C ! Equally impressive is their reuse of 90 percent of treated wastewater, of which 80 percent is used by agriculture. Technological innovations like drip irrigation  that help farmers and small landholders increase yield and save water is another noteworthy example of efficient use of water. Indeed, of the three Rs for conserving resources: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle – the client delegation was inspired to follow Israel’s model for the first two.
Particularly impressing is the concept of consensus-based decision-making, or “polderen,” for successful implementation of projects, and Room for the River , a flagship program of the Dutch Government. This program conceptualizes a new approach to flood management and spatial development, by emphasizing living with water and giving more space to the river. This approach is able to contain major floods and improve safety around the floodplains. These aspects of water management are especially important for the rapidly urbanizing countries of Asia and Africa where climate change looms large.

The shoulder joint is for the arm the equivalent of the hips.
It is formed of a scapula in which the humerus is inserted, followed by the radius (the thumb) and the ulna (the little finger).
As for the lower part of the body, the hips in which the femur bone is inserted, followed by the tibia bone (toward the big thumb) and the fibula (toward the pinky toe).
In the middle of these bones structures, is the elbow joint and knee joint for the leg.
From a symbolic point of view, chart of emotion, shoulders represent the action to be done or the action that is repressed.
When we are scared, sad, our body language will be showing protection, by gliding the shoulders up, rounding the upper back.
From a yogic point of view, it is very interesting to notice that the scapular belt is connected to the Vishuddha chakra, which is located at the throat and represents the action of talking, speaking.
When the body is having a long stress time period, all emotions are repressed and the first discomfort that might arised will come from the shoulders.
It will of coure have a huge impact on all the skeleton.
I am not taking any risk by claiming at least all (or almost) practitioners has encountered shoulder pain issue. And especially during the practice of Chaturanga Dandasana.
If you launch a search with Google Guru on “how to do a perfect Chaturanga Dandasana”, you will notice that most of the time, the emphasis is brought to the position of the shoulders, elbows and their actions.
If you are practicing Vinyasa Yoga or Ashtanga Yoga, most of the time the transition betwenn Urdhva Uttanasana is done through a jump back.
Lately I have been spending more time on it. I have changed my approach to it. Instead of jumping toward a vertical line, I started initiating the movement from an horizontal perspective.
The movement was harder, however thinking as an horizontal line, create an opposition between the elbow pressing backward, as the torso starting from the top of the skull to the cervicales spine were lengthening front.
That is the same thing regarding the practice of Padanghustasana, Padahastasana or the Prasaritta Padotasana series. While folding front, bringing the scapula down toward the spine, or sliding them down toward the pelvis, invite the upper body to lengthen from the top of the skull to the coccyx.
It is the same for all torsion and rotation in case we are binding. The shoulder blade should glide down.
All of our actions has to be done with an opposition.
One going down to let the other going up.

A new survey from the American Society of Safety Engineers and Dräger found that more than half the EHS professionals in the oil and gas industry were unaware or unprepared to meet a new TLV for hydrogen sulfide.
A new survey from the American Society of Safety Engineers and Dräger confirms the need for additional education and training in the oil and gas industry about new guidelines that have been recommended for exposure to hydrogen sulfide (H2S).
“The 1ppm (parts per million) Hydrogen Sulfide Threshold: Are You Prepared?” survey uncovered that more than half (53 percent) of safety experts in the oil and gas industry are unaware of new standards set by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) that may help decrease deaths caused by the inhalation of H2S.
The majority (76 percent) of safety professionals who know about the new standards reported no urgency to adopt them, despite the increased safety that can result.
Companies reported using a variety of alarm levels: 39 percent using 10 ppm and 15 ppm; 35 percent using 5 ppm and 10 ppm; and 15 percent using 10 ppm and 20 ppm.
Of those companies that have not adopted the new ACGIH guidance, only 24 percent have adjusted their H2S limits within the last three years. Moreover, only 34 percent anticipate adjusting their current H2S limits in the near future.
Most safety engineers surveyed (64 percent) believe that it is important that instruments are able to detect below 1 ppm. However, only 41 percent believe that a 1 ppm H2S resolution can be seen with accuracy in personal monitoring instruments, and 74 percent are concerned that with the 1 ppm resolution there will be an increase in false readings.
The majority (70 percent) of respondents think adopting the 1 ppm levels in their workplace would affect worker-protection costs.
92 percent of those companies surveyed use personal monitoring instruments as a part of their industrial hygiene program.
55 percent use an internal electronic/mechanical docking station to complete checks and record results; 31 percent manually calibrate the instruments via direct flow of calibration gas and record the results; and 14 percent use a third party to conduct calibrations and a manual application of gas for bump tests.
When survey participants were asked if they were aware of the concerns with using pentane as the only gas source for calibration of catalytic sensors in gas monitoring instruments, a little more than half (53 percent) were unaware of the concerns or that this practice is recommended. 47 percent were aware that methane should be used for periodic testing as well.
Comments from participants also indicated there is significant interest in the issue of H2S safety and health and this is the first step in identifying methods and technologies to assist in preventing injuries and fatalities resulting from H2S exposure.
While the new H2S limits are recommendations and carry no legal obligations at this time, the message is clear. There is a strong belief by agencies, such as ACGIH, that these exposure levels will create a safer work environment. Therefore, it is likely that there will be a wider acceptance and implementation among industrial hygienists and safety professionals as more data becomes available.
Forward-thinking companies will be preparing for the evolution of these standards by considering steps that support these lower limits before they become mandatory. The potential benefits – both in terms of worker safety and cost savings – are significant.

Rain on your wedding day is said to be good luck, but how much does the trick? Danya Skolkin and Josh Tillis didn’t pause to consider the ratio of precipitation to luck when skies turned ominous in the days just before their wedding last fall.
But on Aug. 25, as Ms. Skolkin and Mr. Tillis were finalizing the details of their Sept. 3 wedding in downtown Houston, Hurricane Harvey made landfall, ripping into that city and reaching its peak just before the college sweethearts and their more than 300 guests were about to celebrate.
At first they crossed their fingers, hoping the wedding would go on. But with six days to go and meteorologists in slickers deployed across the city issuing warnings about the devastation to come, Ms. Skolkin and Mr. Tillis, both 28, made the decision to postpone.
But she knew that what others faced in Houston was far more grave. Hundreds of thousands of Texas and Louisiana residents were displaced because of flooding.
So, with nothing to do but read the fine print on vendors’ cancellation policies and watch Harvey’s waters continue to rise, inspiration struck. After the roads cleared, the couple went to Aishel House, a Jewish nonprofit organization that offers shelter and warm meals to Houston hospital patients and their families. “We didn’t even call, we just showed up, knowing they would be busy in this state of crisis,” Ms. Skolkin said.
That particular event space is a special one for Ms. Skolkin and her family. Holly Harwood Skolkin, Ms. Skolkin’s mother, was a founder of Aishel House. Ms. Harwood Skolkin was not able to see her daughter’s selflessness. In 2012, she died of breast cancer after a 15-year struggle with a stage 4 diagnosis.
Within minutes, they were deboning and breading chicken breasts by the dozens.
Rochel Lazaroff, a co-director of the house, said Aishel House had already pre-ordered enough chicken breasts, brisket, salads, salmon and desserts to cater the couple’s Shabbat welcome dinner for their long-distance wedding guests. The food, fortuitously, had arrived the week before.
“It brought tears to our eyes,” Ms. Skolkin said after she and Mr. Tillis realized how their postponed wedding plans would able to help their community in need.
Just three months after Ms. Harwood Skolkin died, Mr. Tillis’s father, Barry Tillis, died of lung cancer. Neither is sure they would have gotten engaged if their personal tragedies hadn’t overlapped.
Mr. Tillis got to know Ms. Harwood Skolkin before she died, and Ms. Skolkin got to know Barry Tillis. The elder Mr. Tillis was an emotional father who never missed a youth sports event and cried at every one. “People in our hometown still remember that about him,” Mr. Tillis said.
That includes her daughter. “We were so close,” she said. “We did all the stuff gals do, like shop and go out to eat. We were always laughing.” Ms. Harwood Skolkin inspired her daughter’s career as a nurse practitioner for heart failure patients; her mother’s gratitude toward the nurses who helped her through cancer steered her toward nursing.
Mr. Tillis fell for Ms. Skolkin’s good-heartedness and elegance. He also loves that she became, at his near insistence, a Denver Broncos football fan. By the time both graduated from the University of Texas and moved into a Houston high-rise together in 2015, they had established their own football tradition.
Mr. Tillis, a lifelong fan, is a demonstrative touchdown celebrator. “I jump up and do a dance, I yell at the TV, I express my emotions physically,” he said. “I can’t contain myself.” Ms. Skolkin has taken to capturing his joyous displays covertly on camera. She has amassed a band of Snapchat followers who look forward to watching Mr. Tillis’s outpourings of Broncos ebullience.
On Sept. 25, 2016, the day Mr. Tillis decided to propose, he made sure the Broncos were on.
“She was sitting on the couch, just a normal Sunday, she’s got no makeup on and we’re just about to click on the TV,” Mr. Tillis recalled. “After the first big play I started running around the apartment like I usually do, and before she could grab her phone I went and grabbed a jersey I had bought her.” The jersey said Tillis on the back. Mr. Tillis got down on one knee and asked if she would be his wife. Ms. Skolkin accepted the ring she recognized as her mother’s — Dr. Skolkin had given it to Mr. Tillis in advance. She instantly accepted.
On Dec. 17, Ms. Skolkin walked down the aisle of the Marriott Houston ballroom, accompanied by her father. The bride wore a Martina Liana mermaid-style gown with pearl button detail up the back. Mr. Tillis, in a midnight blue tuxedo custom made in Thailand, met them beneath a stage set with a huppah. Rabbi Brian A. Strauss of Congregation Beth Yeshurun, and 340 guests, watched as Ms. Skolkin circled Mr. Tillis seven times, conveying unity and completeness, according to Jewish custom.
Although Hurricane Harvey passed through Houston months ago, it was still fresh in the minds of attendees. Rabbi Strauss said his synagogue suffered about $6 million in damage from the storm. He took heart in learning he would be marrying a generous and kind couple.
In their vows, which the couple read to each other before the traditional breaking of the glass, both remembered their late parents.
“You have shown me that even life’s hardest, most confusing times can result in the most beautiful clarity,” Ms. Skolkin said as two maids of honor, a best man, 10 bridesmaids, 11 groomsmen and five ushers stood by them.
In his vows, Mr. Tillis said his father used to pepper him with questions about what he was looking for in a woman, and he would give his answers: “Smart, funny, pretty, strong Jewish identity.” His father thought these were good qualities, but told the younger Mr. Tillis that most important in a partner is a good heart.
He saw just that when Ms. Skolkin fed, bathed and clothed her mother, and kept her spirits up. Ms. Harwood Skolkin, in the late stages of her illness, once grabbed Mr. Tillis by the arm and told him Ms. Skolkin was her “berakah” — Hebrew for blessing.
Come rain or come shine, both knew how lucky they were — on their second planned wedding day — to have found each other.
Paul DeBenedetto contributed reporting from Houston.
Houston Serenade The reception, also at the Marriott, opened with a first dance to “Home” by Michael Bublé, then transitioned into a choreographed wedding party dance to Flo Rida’s “My House”; the music was a mix between a D.J. and an Austin wedding band, the Matchmaker Band.
Field and Flowers Both a bride’s and groom’s cake were served during the reception. For her cake, Ms. Skolkin chose a four-tier buttercream confection with fondant flowers and gold accents. Mr. Tillis’s cake was more reflective of his passion for the Denver Broncos. A double-chocolate cake made to look like a football field.

Wright State’s Department of Art and Art History equips its graduates with a palette of many colors—one with shades of talent, hues of creativity and tints of ambition. While alumni artists are sent into the world to make it a more vibrant place, 82 will return to where it all began.
From May 21 through June 13, the Robert and Elaine Stein Galleries will celebrate its 40th season with an exhibition of alumni artwork.
“It’s thrilling to see visual art alumni still making art in some way. It’s not easy to dedicate the time needed to continue making art once life starts happening after college,” said Tess Cortes, coordinator of the Stein Galleries.
“This exhibition was conceived as a way to re-engage our alumni artists as well as commemorate the galleries’ 40th exhibition season,” said Cortes.
The exhibition will include sculpture, painting, printmaking and video—all created within the last five years.
Susan Byrnes, a visual artist and curator who selected the works in the exhibition, said the collective body of art is inspired in various ways by Wright State, its faculty and academic experiences common to the former students.
“I chose 114 works that display the range of technical skills, breadth of conceptual approaches and variety of risk taking and experimentation of Wright State’s alumni artists,” said Byrnes.
A public reception will kick off the exhibition on Friday, May 23, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Refreshments will be served along with a cash bar.
A list of participating artists is available on the gallery’s website.
Summer gallery hours are Wednesday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, noon to 4 p.m. All visitor parking areas on campus are free and parking at the Creative Arts Center is unrestricted on weekends.

The beauty of Web as it stands today is that there is quite of bit of information ready for the taking - open for mixing, mashing and working into existing applications as you see fit. Sometimes however you need a little creative inspiration - and in a depressed economy, sometimes that's hard to come by. Here are few APIs you can use today and some possible ideas to make them work for you or your website/company.
RentRent API - Search Craigslist Properties: RentRent.org has made available an API that searches local Craigslist entries (information is gathered every few hours) for rental properties including apartments and houses. The API gives developers the ability to integrate rental searches with mapping applications and APIs, returns specific locations, the type of property, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, even if pets are allowed. While Craigslist has often frowned upon (and prevented) others from using this data, it might be a good idea to investigate such APIs when everyone loses their homes thanks to the subprime crisis.
NetFlix API: Thanks to the failing economy, you 'll be spending much more time at home. Reward yourself with a few movies and perhaps the NetFlix API. The popular online movie rental and review site Netflix released an API that provides developers with access to 100,000 movie and TV episode titles on DVD as well as Netflix account access on a user’s behalf. The API is free and is available for commercial use, meaning that you enterprising developers can monetize applications and mashups developed with the Netflix API.
Xignite API: Xignite, a provider of on-demand financial web services for applications, announced the availability of XigniteGlobalQuotes a few weeks ago. The Web API delivers delayed stock quotes from global established and emerging markets such as the London Stock Exchange, Mumbai Stock Exchange and a whole host of others. If that's doesn't get you thinking about all the ways you can leverage the down economy then nothing will.
indeed API: If you lose your job, fear not! Savvy developers are able to search the Indeed job index using an XML interface. This allows for the submission of job searches and the ability to receive results via a structured XML feed which can be incorporated into a website or application. Indeed Web Services may be used free of charge for commercial and non-commercial purposes. All you will need is an API key. Possible ideas are for using the Indeed API are custom job search for a specific industry or as a means to manage job listings internally.
Zillow API: If you're sitting pretty financially as your neighbors get evicted, swoop in and buy their house - you could own the whole block. This could be made infiitely easier thanks to the Zillow API network which provides programmatic access to home valuation (including estimates, search results, and charts), property details and local real estate information. Sure, your neighbors might hate you but you'll be crying all the way to the bank.

What is the current state of your technical environment?
What areas drive productivity, and which ones create bottlenecks and costly delays? Trillium can help you answer those questions with deep insight into how your technical environment affects business processes. And this assessment of your current environment will lay the foundation for the most informed and strategic technology selection for the future.
Trillium can help get to the root of the current business process (both manual and automated) with an eye toward how the organization wants to operate in the future. Our senior-level consultants bring real-world experience to evaluating current processes and obtaining detailed functional and technical requirements. As a result, they bring expert insight into determining the required future functionality and creating the “to be” environment.
Trillium understands that selecting any new technology must also take into account internal culture, internal business requirements, and potentially legal requirements – part of the “art” within the process of technology selection. That is why we take a collaborative focus to building the team that is assigned to your project – both at the client level and the consultant level. We ensure that only the most knowledgeable people who are most responsive to your organization’s needs and goals are selected – so it’s easy for us to obtain the information we need to make the most informed environmental assessment.
Trillium will also bring the appropriate technical resources to the table on an as-needed basis to maintain a good communication chain with the client’s technical staff, as well as to ensure alignment of the organizational strategy with the technology strategy/environment. For example, we may work with technical architects to help determine technology platforms for situations where there are no existing automated systems and an organization is creating a totally new business process.
And there’s more to the Trillium approach. Bringing an average of 20 years of experience in project management to the table, Trillium’s consultants will drive the process using Project Management Best Practices so that the assessment is completed economically and within the appropriate timeframe. The result? A successful project that meets all of your business and technical needs.

The class of 2014 goes on their senior missions trip over spring break.
The senior class gets together on a staircase on the TTUM compound for a picture.
As the plane lands to a bumpy stop on a dark, warm night in Trinidad and Tobago, KCC students decked out in sweatpants and chacos lift their sleepy heads among the other passengers, uncontrollable smiles plastered on their faces. Josh Willis says, “Guys, welcome to Trinidad and Ti-swag-o,” meaning Trinidad and Tobago, a phrase said many times before the trip, but is finally relevant. Before long, the seniors were loading buses, headed for a tropical adventure and armed with gallons of bug spray and sunblock.
Last year, the senior class of 2014 was given a choice for their senior missions trip: Trinidad and Tobago, Guatemala, or Jamaica. The vote was almost unanimous for Trinidad and Tobago, save one vote for Guatemala, and it was settled. The seniors and sponsors stayed with Trinidad and Tobago Urban Ministries (TTUM), on a compound owned by the ministry.
The class of 33 was split into three groups with two sponsors to each group. The first day was nicknamed “tourist day” and coordinator Jennifer Beschew, a member of TTUM, used it to inform the students of the history of Trinidad (religion, politics, culture, etc.). Beschew then took them to a few Hindu temples and showed them around the country.
For the rest of the week, the seniors paid visits to a preschool, prison, rehabilitation center, elderly persons home, a few schools and shared testimonies, sang songs, and just poured their lives into the Trinidadians. Every evening, the three groups would travel to different parts of the small country and put on a vacation Bible school for a few hours.
“My favorite part was VBS [vacation Bible school] because I liked playing with the kids and stuff. They painted my nails and arms,” Nicholas Beach said.

You may be among those that retire early and want to use your retirement funds. The problem is, though you’ll have to pay the 10% early withdrawal penalty.
Fortunately, there is a way around this. Section 72(t) of the Internal Revenue Code allows taxpayers of any age to take a series of substantially equal periodic payments without a 10% penalty.
The payments must continue for five years or until you reach 59½ years old, whichever period is longer. While you receive the money, you cannot make any changes to the payments. However, you can irrevocably switch one time to the RMD method.
If you do not stay with the plan, or if you modify the payments in any way, you will no longer qualify for the exemption from the 10% penalty. Furthermore, the 10% penalty will be reinstated retroactively, to all prior years.
Each IRA stands on it own, meaning that taking 72(t) distributions from one account has no effect on the others. Therefore, if one IRA will produce more income than is needed, you could have set up a smaller, segregated account to withdraw from. And in the future, if you need more income, you could begin equal distributions from another account as well. This could provide greater flexibility in meeting your immediate and future income requirements.
