I don’t think the number of books read per month makes someone a reader or a non-reader. People who read books at all and consider it one of their hobbies are readers.
It’s like me with colouring. Haven’t coloured anything since November last year, but still consider it one of my hobbies. Interestingly enough, i never declared that i’m in a “coloring slump”.
In all honesty, I only realised there was such a thing as a reading slump when I joined GR… I had no idea beforehand.. interesting, isn’t it?
Exactly Holly, once we start feeling guilty, we start feeling a bit worse.
I can see how mini goals can help Kelly. And I’m so glad you find language we use important as well.
Sometimes these negative thoughts could be so hard-wired that we initially are not even aware of them (my experience). I think noticing them first and then gently and patiently redirecting them is something that helps me. Having little challenges would be fun to try, thanks for the suggestion.
I’m definitely going to check out that podcast! I’ve actually been thinking about a life coach recently but that’s a whole other story… 🙂 Totally agree with those who didn’t know what a reading slump was until joining Goodreads/blog community. It was always just that I wasn’t reading as much for whatever reason and that was fine. I need to get back to that mindset.
I really hope you enjoy them. Brooke is very honest and has a really brilliant self coaching model. If you do check her podcast out, I would recommend listening to her first few episodes first as everything kind of takes from there.
Indeed, the lovely GR / blog community, which I love to bits by the way, can sometimes trigger certain internal pressure in us. We are all in this together.
I think your post is absolutely wonderful and applicable. I think it applies to other things in life and not just reading slumps. I am going to share it so I can find it later to read again and again. Thank you very much. I don’t think of reading slumps as bad things. I think of it as an opportunity to focus on something else. For example, when I don’t want to read, I spend a couple days cooking or gardening or trying a new hobby. By the time I am tired of doing the new thing, I am ready to read again!
That’s such a great attitude to have Allie, I think if we see any of these periods as opportunities rather than failures we could learn so many new things / hobbies and thrive.
I’m so glad you enjoyed this post. I really recommend Brooke’s podcast mentioned in the post, especially her first episodes. She is a great teacher and I love learning from her.
I personally feel that what we think is everything. It’s all about practice and it is a process though. Whenever I catch myself thinking something I now kindly tell myself: “well that opinion of yours is interesting but you do realised it’s “optional”, right?” I’m not always Miss Little Sunshine but I am slowly teaching myself to think the way that serves me and that I believe. And it’s hard sometimes and I do have many moments… Brooke Castillo says that an unmanaged mind is like letting a toddler run unsupervised with scissors.. in other words it could do us a lot of harm.

Correction: The map of Lebanon County was previously used instead of one of Mt. Lebanon, Pennsylvania.
Tragedy has struck the film set of the upcoming Mister Rogers movie after one employee suffered a heart attack and then fell off the second story building.
According to USA Today, authorities confirmed James Emswiller, 61, passed away on Thursday night following the incident in Mount Lebanon, Pennsylvania, just about 20 miles southwest of Pittsburgh.
Emswiller - who in 2015 had won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Limited Series for HBO's Bessie - is reported to have taken a smoke break in between scenes of the highly anticipated film.
His coworkers had heard a noise and discovered his fragile state after he fell over the brick wall on the balcony of an apartment building.
An on-set nurse attempted to assist Emswiller, but by the time paramedics arrived, he was in full cardiac arrest, reports TMZ.
He was then taken to UPMC Mercy Hospital in critical condition, but was pronounced dead three hours later.
It's said that the film's star, Tom Hanks, was on set, but left shortly after. Filming was canceled that evening while law enforcement investigated.
The upcoming movie, which is tentatively titled You Are My Friend, is inspired by the Fred Rogers and journalist Tom Junod, who is set to be depicted as a cynical journalist who is tasked with writing a profile on the popular children show's host. Throughout the film, Junod's perspective on life will change following his frequent interactions with Rogers.
The Associate Press reports the film is set to be released on October 19.
2018 marks the 50th anniversary of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, which has also inspired both a postage stamp and a documentary focusing on the life of Rogers, titled Won't You Be My Neighbor, which was released on June 8.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to James Emswiller's family and friends during this difficult time.

Support for women living with the BRCA 1/2 gene mutation in East Kent has been given a boost thanks to a grant from Macmillan Cancer Support.
The BRCA Kent group supports women who have been identified as having an inherited BRCA 1/ 2 gene mutation which means that their likelihood of developing breast and/or ovarian cancer is much greater than the general population.
Formed in Maidstone by volunteers it became clear to BRCA Kent that women in East Kent who had had a positive diagnosis were also in need of support, so a satellite group was established and now meets monthly (not July/August) at The ABode Hotel, High Street, Canterbury.
The East Kent group is co-hosted by Natalie Gawler (22), from Herne Bay, who at just 18 years old discovered she had inherited the BRCA 1 gene mutation from her paternal grandmother.
She explained: “My Nan was diagnosed with breast cancer aged 32 and she also suffered with a number of secondary cancers. She became involved with a research programme at the Royal Marsden Hospital which identified her as BRCA 1. Seven of her 10 grandchildren are girls and she always told us about the gene and that we should be tested.
Natalie’s sister Danielle (20) has also been identified as BRCA 1 and both attend the East Kent BRCA group.
Suzannah Fitzgerald is a breast care nurse specialist running a family history clinic and has helped set up the East Kent group.
There is further information available on the BRCA Kent Website or through Twitter @BRCAKent and Facebook BRCAKent (closed group).
For more information about the grants as well as advice, information, support and training and how to apply for grants to set up or develop your group contact your local Macmillan Engagement Co-coordinator.

The total was less than one third what the Republican party pulled in during the month, and even less — by $3,000 — what it raised in June, according to its just-filed Federal Election Commission report.
The figures continue a trend that’s put the Democrats at a big disadvantage as they fight to keep control of the state House of Representatives in November.
The Democrats ended the month with $120,000 in its treasury vs. $73,000 at the start of July, the report showed. That also put it way behind the Republicans, which finished July with $1.6 million, according to their July report, filed last week.
A big part of the Democrats woes is a lack of big, wealthy donors. Led by Papa John’s founder and CEO John Schnatter and his wife, the Republicans attracted 10 donations of $10,000 each in July — the maximum.
But the biggest donation to the Democrats was $5,000 from Andrew Martin Jr. of Louisville, a consultant with McCarthy Strategic Solutions. Most of the rest were in the mid three-digits.
Updated at 11:45 a.m. The Courier-Journal’s Tom Loftus has just explained a big infusion to the Democrats during July from a Hillary Clinton‘s political committee, the Hillary Victory Fund, totaling $793,000.

Remember way back when, combing pink and red would have been a huge no-no?
Somehow, somewhere, a fairy colour Godmother came along sprinkled magical fairy dust in our eyes and we became immune to what were previously referred to as "clashing colours".
Remember when black and blue were bad?
Brown and black meant you were colour blind?
Now it just means you're super chic.
And red and purple meant you were one of those ladies from the Red Hat Society?
Those ideas are so old fool school!
In fact, it is hard to find colours that you can't mesh together if you are really clever and bold.
Like this stunning image below…the only thing you risk is making a huge impact.
So which colour combinations still scare you?
None scares me! But I def. was taught the “rules” about black and navy, black and brown, et al. Phooey on them, as they say in French. I love all the combos you’ve shown, and you look fab in pink/red.
Magenta and orange are two that I’ve started seeing together that I never would have before. I don’t really wear either color but they work surprisingly well together.
Also- people tell me pink and brown go together but I still don’t see it!
Love this fun post, Suzanne!
Rules are for fools especially anything that restricts any use of colour. Like you wisely say everything works when you’re clever and bold.
I love, love, love the purple shirt with the red skirt. I saw a picture of Dita Von Teese in a magazine once mixing red and purple, she looked phenomenal! Out with the rules!
NONE! but you all know that by now!
I love pink and red, and I’m totally familiar with the “rules” you’re talking about. I also used to think Red Hat Society when I saw red and purple together, but with “Radiant Orchid” being THE color and everything (whatever that means), I’ve seen the purple paired with plenty of red in really fresh ways.
I also wanted to tell you I’ve found a VINTAGE shop in Nashville that immediately made me think of you. It’s not a thrift shop like those I’ve frequented before. It’s a true vintage shop, categorized by color. And I’m in love. I tried this oversize knee-length pink overcoat. I felt so glam. But it was $240. I’m going to have to save up. I’m talking vintage dresses, sequined fabulous things, and racks of worn-in leather jackets. I could spend hours in there. Too bad I couldn’t find any steals as great as your estate sale “red carpet” gowns!
Oh Liz….that really does sound like my kind of shop. That overcoat sounds DIVINE! And Pink! perfect for you. Do they ever have sales? The shops around here often do. Also I find that if I go in often enough they start to get to know me and will be willing to negotiate on the prices a bit more. You need to take your camera next time and take some photos!
My theory has always been if you see it together in nature, you can wear it on your body. So I don’t think there are too many color combinations that scare or concern me. However, I did go through a neon phase back in the 80’s/90’s and, well, I don’t think I can go back to that.
Give me all the colors!!! I’ve read in older books the rules against red and pink and black and navy. How silly.
Isn’t fashion a funny thing? It’s amazing how one season something can seem so beautiful and worth lusting over, only to look hideous the next. It just shows how easily we are influenced by what we see. I wonder what we would dress like if there were no fashion houses dictating the trends. Having no rules can really unleash one’s creativity.
I love the way pink and red look together and you mixed them just perfectly! I think fashion is all about breaking the rules and pushing the limits!
I am not scared of ANY colour combinations!!!
I especially LOVE pink and red together, and pink and orange is another fave.
I love seeing pink and red together; it’s one of my favorite combos!
Take all the color, makeup and general styling rules and toss them out the window. Color is personal. The most interesting combos don’t follow the rules. Coordinating colors is art. Great post!
I fear no color combo! I love pink and red together, especially when they are bright. And you by the way look fabulous in those two colors!
I am a huge fan of color and I am warming up to pink with red/burgundy. I still struggle with blue and black. Some colors I don’t wear much together is red/green because of looking to holiday.
What an interesting post! I usually think of the trends/combinations that I thought were wrong, but now I keep on wearing them and it feels so funny!
I guess that’s fashion! But yeah at one point it used to be that clashing colours would result in grimaced faces. But now it’s acceptable and actually seen as being fashion forward to successfully ‘clash’ colours. Blue and black is a interesting one as I remember in my retail days having a conversation with a rep from Balenciaga about how the black and blue pieces weren’t as popular as others. They said that on the continent, particularly in France, blue and black have been worn together for quit some time. But in the UK a lot of people still follow the old rule of not wearing the 2 together.
You are right about the magenta and orange. I think they would look best on someone with dark skin.
Ooooh…I bet she looks brilliant in it.
Neon’s are tough. I don’t really do them.
Colour does reflect our mood so well when we dress. No doubt why I have so many different colours in my closet.
Ha! how absurd! Blue and green are one of my all time favourite combos.
It is funny because when I paint or create an illustration I go back time and time again to the same colours. It’s not good. I need to challenge myself more to work with some I’m not accustomed to.
You are great at working pink into everything.
Red and green is probably one of the hardest combos to pull off.
I still have problems letting go of these -indeed very silly- ideas. But I have a top in bright pink, red and orange and it is brilliant. Have to do more like this. Thanks for reminding me. I kpnow know what to do with those fantastic new brown booties.
Forgot to say you look fantastic in those jeans with the lovely colours on top. Great outfit.
Another great combination and look, Suzanne. Very feminine and pretty.
Ofcourse all depends on the exact color. There are numerous browns, reds and so on. With a blueish undertone, with a yellowish undertone, light, dark, pale, intense. That makes all the difference. I can imagine e.g. certain greys and specific browns that would look like sh*t together, but in other ‘tones’ they might be a wonderful match.
Rules like our mothers used are way too general and rigid!

The ornate carved medieval stonework of the Wells Cathedral in the heart of Somerset, specifically a notable floral motif above the fluted medieval archways, was an important influence. The resulting ‘Tudor Rose’ pattern is combined with geometric latticework that evokes its English cultural origin while feeling unmistakably contemporary. The resulting design is laser engraved on full grain, vegetable tanned Belting Leather tiles which create a striking bespoke backdrop and combine the beauty and warmth of a natural leather with the precise detailing allowed by laser technology.

In what was a stunning turnaround in less than 6 months, Chicagoans are free again to drown on the latest alleged zero sugar sugary drink from Coke, without the undue burden of a penny per ounce tax. Was this a proxy defeat for Michael Bloomberg’s administrative nanny state and his chances of running for President in 2020?

My original plan for making fresh tomato sauce was to use all home grown tomatoes. I have three plants in my backyard and they are all full of tomatoes. However I only had a few ripe ones. My plants are full of little green tomatoes. I have tons of them, but I’m afraid the weather will turn cold before the tomatoes are ready. Unfortunately we did not have warm enough weather until close to July, so I wasn’t able to plant until then. So I had to buy some tomatoes to make enough sauce.
Making sauce from fresh tomatoes is an involved process, but well worth it. I made tomato-basil sauce last time, so I thought I would add some different flavors to this one.
I had frozen some of my home-grown tomatoes in anticipation for getting more, so I will include that process as well.
Part One: Preparing tomatoes to make sauce.
Wash tomatoes and cut off the tops.
Boil a large pat of water.
Add tomatoes to boiling water for 30 – 45 seconds.
Remove tomatoes and place in ice water for another 30 – 60 seconds.
Use your fingers to slide the skin off the tomatoes.
Squeeze tomatoes over a strainer to get the seeds out.
I had a little trouble getting all the seeds out, so I rinsed the tomatoes in cold water.
If you are freezing the tomatoes, place them in a freezer bag and pour the liquid you reserved in with them.
In a large pot heat olive oil, garlic, and onion. Cook until onion is translucent and just starts to carmelize. Add tomato liquid. Add tomatoes. Stir in spices.
Allow to simmer over low heat for two hours.
If desired puree in blender briefly – this will give it a more traditional sauce texture.
My homemade sauce never turn out bright red. It just depends on the tomatoes you are using.

A lawyer for school board member Chris Norgaard lambasted San Marino Unified School District officials for their latest moves against his client, taken in response to his legal threats against the district.
In an email, attorney Guy Glazier pointed out Norgaard has served for 14½ years in all capacities on the school board, was a founding member of two of the board’s most important committees and has always performed one of the board’s central functions: the superintendent evaluation. The four other members of the board, however, removed Norgaard from that process this month, creating a subcommittee that excludes him.
Their decision was rooted in the fact Norgaard has filed a legal complaint against SMUSD and Superintendent Alex Cherniss related to internal investigations into alleged sexual harassment and misconduct toward district employees.
The initial investigation, handled by a third party, concluded Norgaard had not done anything perceived to be sexually motivated; a second investigation began in April after Cherniss said he received allegations that Norgaard had attempted to intimidate district employees regarding the first investigation, which Norgaard has denied.
Cherniss defended his and the district’s actions against Norgaard’s assertions that he fabricated the allegations.
“As the employer, we are obligated to investigate allegations made by employees,” he said.
As a matter of standard procedure for an investigation, Norgaard was required to seek and receive permission to be on SMUSD properties during the first investigation and also needed to be accompanied by another official while doing so. He was given carte blanche permission to attend board meetings.
An investigation by the San Marino Police Department was announced in January at the same time Cherniss and Assistant Superintendent Linda de la Torre publicly disclosed the district’s investigation. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office declined to prosecute Norgaard based on that fact that the woman claiming Norgaard had inappropriately contacted and kissed her on two occasions did not want to press charges.
Norgaard filed a legal complaint through Glazier in April, alleging defamation, emotional distress and a deprivation of civil rights on the part of the district, Cherniss and de la Torre. Unless the complaint is further amended, the defendants have until late June to respond, after which Norgaard may bring the suit before the courts.
The board also froze Norgaard out from its closed session discussions regarding the legal complaint, an action Norgaard objected to because he already recused himself from the discussions. He has also insisted he can remain objective in evaluating Cherniss, whom he recommended earlier this year as a Superintendent of the Year candidate.

Apple To Let Users Combine iTunes Accounts With iCloud?
When Apple launched their MobileMe service, there was one major problem with it if you already had an iTunes account, you would not be able to use your MobileMe ID with your iTunes account, as MobileMe came with its own iTunes account built in.
This became a problem for many, myself included, who ended up having two separate Apple IDs, one for MobileMe and one for iTunes, and with the introduction of more services like FaceTime, the Mac App Store and more many people now have multiple IDsnow it looks like Apple may be about to solve the problem for Apple’s new iCloud.
The guys over at MacRumors have spoken to Apple about the issue with multiple accounts, and they are apparently working on fixing the problem, lets hope the fix is available when iCloud launches.

The Central government is now confident of achieving renewable power capacity of 225 gigawatts (GW) by March 2022 after the growing positive bids in the renewable sector.
NEW DELHI: Excited by rampant bids in the renewable sector, the Central government is now confident of achieving renewable power capacity of 225 gigawatts (GW) by March 2022, breaching the set target of 175 GW of renewable energy, well ahead of the deadline.
“We will cross the 175 GW target well before March 2022. We have new schemes for offshore wind power, floating solar parks and hybrid parks, which will help us outstrip the current target. We are now aiming at 225 GW,” Power Minister RK Singh said on Tuesday. The government, however, hasn’t formally revised the 175 GW target, which was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2015.
Singh said that India’s current renewable power capacity stands at 70 GW, while projects under completion stands at 12.5 GW capacity and projects close to bid out is 25 GW.
“These take us to 108 GW of renewable capacity already, and given the bidding trajectory we have for the coming two years, we will touch 225 GW,” Singh said, elaborating the four-year achievements of ruling government in the power and renewable sector.
MNRE Secretary Anand Kumar said that the ministry would be completing the bidding of 175 GW by March 2020 and they will get clear two years for installation of the capacity. Even though the government has set a target of bidding 40 GW per year in the next two fiscals, Kumar expects that they would be bidding out 61 GW in FY19 and 56 GW in FY20.
On the government’s ambitious mission of electrifying every household in the country under the Saubhagya scheme, Singh said they will achieve the mission by December this year against the earlier target of March 2019.
“Under the Deen Dayal Upadhyay Gram Jyoti Yojana, we brought power to all 68 lakh census villages, and now with Saubhagya scheme, we will power 400 million households in these villages,” the minister said. However, Singh’s claim of electrifying every village in four years of the Modi government has attracted criticism with reports alleging that there are several villages yet to be connected to the grid.
Singh also said that the government has come out with a new draft tariff policy under which load-shedding after March 2019 would invite penalties for power distributors. He said the policy, which carries several reforms in the sector, is under review by the power ministry’s own review committee.
On the financial health of Discoms, the minister said more than Rs 20,000 crore interest is saved by them under the UDAY scheme, and now the government is exploring new ways of helping troubled power distributors.

I'm generating access_tokens using the sandbox environment, but I'm unable to make api calls using the generated access_tokens. The access_tokens do not show in the Setup=>Api Tokens for the merchant. If I create and access_token using Setup=>Api Tokens then I'm able to successfully call the api. Are the sandbox generated access_tokens not usable for the api calls in the sandbox environment or am I missing something?
By generated access_token, do you mean you created and installed an app onto a test merchant, then went through the OAuth process to create an access_token? Did you make sure you had the proper permissions set on the app? Does the merchant at which you're making the call have the app installed?
Thanks for the reply, Sam. Yes, I created and installed the app onto a test merchant and then went through the oauth process to create a token. I then attempt to create a new Order using the access token, but get a 401 back from the REST Api. I'm able to create orders if I revert to the access_token that I created via Setup=>Api Tokens. It looks like everything is setup correctly (app, merchant, permissions), but I must be missing something.
Yes, sounds like you have everything you need. Two things I would check are, make sure permissions for the app is set correctly in the App's settings. Second is, once the permission is setup correctly, reinstall the app on the test merchant. The new permissions will need to come down to the api token by reinstalling.
Reinstalling the app on the test merchant fixed the issue. Thanks for the help, Sam!

What if we could renovate a long-standing industrial eyesore into a resource for the community?
The Cape Ann Tool Company building, located on Pigeon Cove in Rockport since the 1890s, grew over the years of its operation to encompass nearly 100,000 SF of factory and production space. This project restores the building to its historic core, for use as local retail and restaurant space. Inspired by the coastal New England industrial vernacular textures, forms, and proportions, the building balances existing conditions with contemporary needs – all with smart, efficient design strategies to maximize rental space and create a commercial and community hub.

Cross-docking is a practice in logistics of unloading materials from an incoming semi-trailer truck or railroad car and loading these materials directly into outbound trucks, trailers, or rail cars, with little or no storage in between. This may be done to change the type of conveyance, to sort material intended for different destinations, or to combine material from different origins into transport vehicles (or containers) with the same or similar destinations.
Cross-dock operations were pioneered in the US trucking industry in the 1930s, and have been in continuous use in less-than-truckload (LTL) operations ever since. The US military began using cross-docking operations in the 1950s. Wal-Mart began using cross-docking in the retail sector in the late 1980s.
In the LTL trucking industry, cross-docking is done by moving cargo from one transport vehicle directly onto another, with minimal or no warehousing. In retail practice, cross-docking operations may utilize staging areas where inbound materials are sorted, consolidated, and stored until the outbound shipment is complete and ready to ship.
Retail cross-dock example: using cross-docking, Wal-Mart was able to effectively leverage its logistical volume into a core strategic competency.
Wal-Mart's satellite network sends point-of-sale (POS) data directly to 4,000 vendors.
Each register is directly connected to a satellite system sending sales information to Wal-Mart’s headquarters and distribution centers.
Cross-dock facilities are generally designed in an "I" configuration, which is an elongated rectangle. The goal in using this shape is to maximize the number of inbound and outbound doors that can be added to the facility while keeping the floor area inside the facility to a minimum. Bartholdi and Gue (2004) demonstrated that this shape is ideal for facilities with 150 doors or less. For facilities with 150–200 doors, a "T" shape is more cost effective. Finally, for facilities with 200 or more doors, the cost-minimizing shape is an "X".

cross-docking is a practice in logistics of unloading materials from an incoming semi-trailer truck or railroad car and loading these materials directly into outbound trucks, trailers, or rail cars, with little or no storage in between. this may be done to change the type of conveyance, to sort material intended for different destinations, or to combine material from different origins into transport vehicles (or containers) with the same or similar destinations.
cross-dock operations were pioneered in the us trucking industry in the 1930s, and have been in continuous use in less-than-truckload (ltl) operations ever since. the us military began using cross-docking operations in the 1950s. wal-mart began using cross-docking in the retail sector in the late 1980s.
in the ltl trucking industry, cross-docking is done by moving cargo from one transport vehicle directly onto another, with minimal or no warehousing. in retail practice, cross-docking operations may utilize staging areas where inbound materials are sorted, consolidated, and stored until the outbound shipment is complete and ready to ship.
retail cross-dock example: using cross-docking, wal-mart was able to effectively leverage its logistical volume into a core strategic competency.
wal-mart's satellite network sends point-of-sale (pos) data directly to 4,000 vendors.
each register is directly connected to a satellite system sending sales information to wal-mart’s headquarters and distribution centers.
cross-dock facilities are generally designed in an "i" configuration, which is an elongated rectangle. the goal in using this shape is to maximize the number of inbound and outbound doors that can be added to the facility while keeping the floor area inside the facility to a minimum. bartholdi and gue (2004) demonstrated that this shape is ideal for facilities with 150 doors or less. for facilities with 150–200 doors, a "t" shape is more cost effective. finally, for facilities with 200 or more doors, the cost-minimizing shape is an "x".

With 42% of marketers planning to increase their use of Instagram this year, visual content is more important than ever to a brand’s marketing strategy. But for many brands, creating a captivating Instagram profile and generating high quality visual content can be challenging. To help marketers get the most impact out of their Instagram profiles, here are the top three marketing trends that any business can learn from, whether you have 300,000 followers or 300.
Many brands are leveraging branded hashtags to engage their community on social media, but these aren’t your standard #CompanyName hashtags. The hashtags are aligned with the overall brand instead of the product, and Instagrammers are encouraged to tag their photos whether the product is featured or not — for example, lululemon athletica suggested that users tag their workout photos with #thesweatlife, which has generated over 68,000 posts from their community.
By creating a branded hashtag, marketers create a win-win situation for both themselves and their community. Brands receive the benefit of increased exposure to new potential customers through an Instagrammers photo, and Instagrammers love to be featured on a brand’s profile for both the prestige and the increase in followers. When one of my Instagram photos got “regrammed” by Stumptown Coffee, we gained nearly 500 followers in one day! That’s a lot of motivation for the Instagram community to actively share your brand.
Herschel Supply Co has over 300,000 followers on Instagram and tags their product posts with #HerschelSupply, but they have generated more posts with their #WellTravelled campaign, which encourages their followers to share photos of their journeys using the hashtag.
Poler Stuff has not one, but three branded hashtags (#campvibes, #adventuremobile, and #beneaththebrim) that they place in their Instagram bio. #Adventuremobile isn’t directly related to any of Poler’s products, but it does speak to their brand persona of active, outdoor living, with over 40,000 posts shared by Instagrammers of their car in the wild.
You don’t have to be a large brand in order to have success with your own hashtag: 33 Acres Brewing Co, a small craft brewery, has about 4,000 followers and recently started their own tag #b33r and encourages in-store customers to tag photos with this hashtag over other ones. Without an “official” hashtag, it becomes difficult to monitor your brand mentions – for example, customers could be tagging #33acres, #33, #33acresbrewing, or #33acresbeer. But by creating and promoting their own distinctive branded hashtag, marketers can easily increase their exposure across Instagram while providing their brand with user-generated content for their Instagram profile.
Another way to market your brand on Instagram without posting product shots is to share lifestyle content that represents your brand’s persona. Marketers should monitor their followers to see what kind of content they are sharing, and then replicate that on their own feeds. Intersperse photos of your product with lifestyle photos that your followers can relate to, whether it’s oceans and palm trees or mountains and landscapes.
The Native Shoes brand likes to #keepitlite, so their feed features a ton of bright colours and different art that would be interesting to their community.
With so many Instagrammers looking to increase their following, it’s easy for even small businesses to gain exposure to a wide audience by building relationships with influencers in their community. While many large brands are paying big bucks to partner with users that have thousands of followers, both small and medium businesses are still able to increase exposure by exchanging product for a giveaway, a promotion, or a small fee.
But be warned: simply sending free product doesn’t mean the Instagrammer will love it, and just because a user has a lot of followers doesn’t mean they’ll create captivating content for you. Take the time to ensure influencers are the right fit for your brand and that they’re excited to partner with you!

The following photos of the Old Scholars' cricket team have come from Albert Boreham who has been able to name most of those pictured. However he was unable to put a name to all the faces and could not date the photos. Please contact the website if you can add anything.
Frank Wallder was able to date the photos to the mid-1950s and explain that they would have been taken by Ted Lawrence Senior. He could also make some additions and corrections. Dave Ratliff added a name to the second photo.

Les Dean contributed the name of Peter Allen and also recognised the person between Mick Silver and Bert Smith. He knows he was a couple of years below himself, Peter Allen and Roy Stainton at school and that he lived in the Harrow Drive area but just can't recall his name.
Frank Wallder provided the name Ian Cromar, adding that he went on to be Captain of the team in the early 1960s, and he also corrected the original identification of Bob Smith to Bert Smith. Ian Cromar also features in other photos but the webmaster couldn't confidently identify him so hasn't changed the captions.
David Ratliff (1950–1955) contributed the name of Rob Blick.
Back: Cyril Scott, Len Outridge, ???, Len Collins, Mick Baynes, Bobby Goodman.

Frank Wallder corrected the name Bob Smith to Bert Smith. Peter Trippick identified himself as standing on the right next to the younger of the two Bachelor brothers but couldn't recall his first name. He also noted that Ray Pizzie was also a regular who seems to have escaped all the photographs.

My older sister has made this pork roast for Christmas dinner for the last two or three years. It's splendid. I believe that the original recipe came from Allrecipes.com.
Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 250 degrees.
Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add whole garlic cloves and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon; reserve oil.
Turn pork loin fat-side down. Slit lengthwise, almost but not quite the whole way through, to form a long pocket, leaving a ½ inch border of unslit meat at each end. Brush cavity with some of the reserved garlic cooking oil, and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and 1Tb. of the rosemary. Line cavity with sauteed garlic and apricots; sprinkle with cranberries. Tie loin together with kitchen twine or heavy-duty string at 1 Ã‚½ inch intervals.
Brush meat with remaining oil, and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Set roast, fat-side up, diagonally or curved (so it fits) on a large, lipped cookie sheet or jellyroll pan.
Warm ¼ cup apple jelly along with minced the minced garlic and rosemary. Brush mixture onto meat.
Remove from oven; raise oven temperature to 400 degrees. Brush loin with pan drippings, return to oven, and continue to roast until the loin is golden brown and a meat thermometer stuck into the center registers 155 to 160 degrees, about 20 minutes longer. For even more attractive coloring, broil until spotty brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
Let roast rest 15 to 20 minutes; transfer to a carving board. Stir juices around pan to loosen brown bits. Pour through a strainer into a small pan, and stir in port wine or rum, chicken broth and remaining 2 Tbs. of jelly; whisk into sauce. Simmer until lightly thickened.
Slice pork. Serve each slice with a little sauce poured on top.
Well that sounds glorious! Thanks for sharing.
I keep hoping that if I read this recipe and blink real fast Genie style it will appear before me…so far, no luck.
Thanks so much for another mouthwatering recipe.
