As an executive coach, every now and again I get a call from someone who is trying to figure out what they want to be when they grow up. Some are excited, some terrified, and all want me to guide them through a decision: keep a day job, or pursue a passion full-time.
As coaches, we are trained to come from the place of possibility. You can be anything you set your mind to! Reach for the stars! Jump and the invisible net will catch you!
That said, I have witnessed circumstances where the net failed, the stars were out of reach, and logistics created very real limitations. While I do want for my clients to honor their values, my belief is that a grounded approach to entrepreneur advice serves them best in the long run. I do not wish to dash their dreams, but to set them up for success and happiness on whatever path they choose.
So without further delay, here is my coach-in-a-box guide with entrepreneur advice for the readers who would like help deciphering whether to turn their hobby into a full-time gig.
Does your hobby or passion reflect one of your deep-seated values?
Quest: Name your top values. Is your hobby is aligned with one of them?
Here is a story to illustrate this point: Eric is in his 30's, a husband and a father to an adorable 9-month-old daughter. Eric is also a CPA; most days, he likes his job as an assistant controller at a medical device company.
If you ever met Eric, you would know immediately that he is passionate about the environment. Eric loves nature: he spends his weekends hiking, camping, and planning the next family road trip. He published a book about the best hiking trails of New Mexico when he was 20. His family makes low-impact, resource-conscious choices about their daily lives. Stewardship and adventure are two of Eric's values, and his hobby is a reflection of those values.
Should Eric quit his job as a CPA, sell his house, buy an RV, and take a life-long road trip? Let's look at the next question to sort it out.
Will monetizing your passion compromise what you love about it?
Unless you're independently wealthy (in which case, congratulations!) you will need a way of making money. Hope is not a strategy, so winning the lottery to finance your next move is probably not a viable option. Let us assume that you will make a living working in your area of interest. Will it destroy what you love about your hobby?
I am not just talking about the stress and the pressure that will come from needing to monetize what was primarily a source of fun. You may need to compromise the kind of art that you make, show up earlier than you would like, and do the selling. Does the thought of that drain you?
Quest: Think through the dynamics of getting paid to do what you are passionate about. Will it compromise what you love most about it?
Can you commit to connecting with three people and picking their brain about entrepreneur advice, including what it is like to make a living in the field that calls to you?
I invite you to play an investigative game. It's time to separate truth from fiction when it comes to your area of interest, and in order to play you will need some allies. The good news is, you know a lot of people, and those people also know a lot of people. Six degrees of separation are about to help you.
Quest: Through your extended network, connect with three individuals who are currently pursing your area of interest as a full time job.
Reach out, ask them for a phone call or offer to buy them a coffee, and put on your detective hat. How did they get where they are today? What advice do they have for someone in your situation? What is the favorite part of their day? What do they dislike about their job? What is the inside reality of their work that an outsider would never get to see? If they had to do this over, what would they do differently?
You may find that people are surprisingly open about their experience, willing to share their passion, and generous with entrepreneur advice. These conversations have the potential to light new pathways and open doors, so jump in and see what shows up.
What would you be giving up in pursuing your hobby full-time?
Here is the next puzzle piece, and you probably won't like it. I want for you to face the money and lifestyle question head on. An opponent in the dark is at least three times as scary, so let us turn some lights on.
Quest: Make a list of things you would have to give up. It won't be just money, although money is probably a part of it. Write down what you would have to have less of, more of, stop doing, or give up in order to focus on your interest. When you are done, consider the list, and ask yourself if you still want it to be in the forefront of your life.
James, a paintball aficionado in his spare time, considered getting a competitive sponsorship to focus on the sport completely. Upon further reflection, he realized that he would have a significant travel commitment for out-of-town games and championships, which would make him an absentee father to his 4-year-old twins, something he could not live with.
Lara, on the other hand, was so passionate about photography that she felt she could live with the loss of a reliable paycheck from her job. She went on to become a full-time photographer, and opened her own studio 3 years ago.
Is your desire to explore a passion, a path or an analogy?
Here is another great question from Fortgang's work, one I have not seen anywhere else.
Quest: Consider whether this is an actual path you were meant to follow, or an analogy for something in your life that you must transform.
Allison was a young professional working at a big-name consulting company. She loved what she did, and in the beginning the 100-hour weeks did not bother her, but as the pace became unsustainable, she considered quitting and becoming a yoga instructor. As Allison reflected on her next steps and considered the path vs. analogy question, she realized that her desire to teach yoga was really about wanting more peace in her life – something that her marriage, difficult in the best of times, did not afford her. Her next steps were perhaps even more difficult than simply changing jobs, but she appreciated the clarity that the reflection brought.
If you sense that the desire you feel is an analogy, you could first try to reflect on your current situation and see if you can change it to better align with your values.
The ultimate question is: are you willing to make the sacrifices it would take to do this as your livelihood?
You might discover that you are clear on the path and ready to take on the challenges to turn your hobby into a career. You might find that you would rather stay where you are.
A useful thing to remember is that maintaining status quo and pulling the plug to dedicate yourself to your passion 100% are not your only options. You can consider taking a leave of absence, negotiating a flexible work schedule whereby you can dedicate one full day a week to your interests, telecommuting, or using your stockpiled paid time off to have a stretch of time to focus on your hobby full-time as a test run.
Whatever you decide, this thought process and entrepreneur advice has a lot to offer. If you wake up every morning and yearn to dedicate yourself to your passion, you owe it to yourself to at least consider it.

Notes On A Conditional Form: Album Review
In a time where there's not much in the immediate future to look forward to, we thankfully still have music. New albums and songs are still being released. Some releases may have been delayed, but they're still happening this year. For an industry that's been crushed by this world wide crisis, it offers a glimmer of hope and an abundance of jams.
Today, The 1975 dropped their highly anticipated fourth album, Notes On A Conditional Form. The album release was twice delayed already this year, but every few weeks a new single from the album was released in the lead up to this weekend's official release. To me, this feels like The 1975's most ambitious album to date. Stylistically, it crosses genres, yet still maintains the indie/synth pop sound well associated with The 1975.
An inkling of this genre breach happened when the band dropped one of the new album's first songs, "People." The track sounds more like a punk rock/hardcore anthem than anything you've ever heard from The 1975 in the past. I remember being pleasantly surprised with the vibe of the new song as someone who grew up listening to punk and hardcore music, but I still questioned where the band was going with it. As more songs were released, I was assured that their new album would be full of stylistic surprises.
In early April, The 1975 released the song "Jesus Christ 2005 God Bless America," which features indie folk rock artist, Phoebe Bridgers, who was supposed to join the band on their 2020 tour until it was inevitably postponed. The song is a testament to Bridgers' folk rock style. The only thing that gives it away is Matty Healy's vocals, but even Healy's sound succumbs to the song style. "Playing on My Mind" also has that indie folk feel.
"Roadkill," which wasn't released prior to the full album, sounds like it could've come off a Sam Hunt record. It's got an unmistakable country twang. Despite the country vibe, it still feels like a 1975 indie pop song. I kind of love it. There's also a few interlude tracks on the record that bridge into another genre as well. These songs take the standard synth pop sound of the band into a more electronic sound. "Shiny Collarbone" and about halfway through "Having No Head" are those dance tracks.
The album is full of songs that sound like what you would expect from The 1975 too. There's several bangers like "Me & You Together Song", "If You're Too Shy (Let Me Know)", and "Frail State of Mind" and smooth rock ballads like "Guys", "The Birthday Party", "Don't Worry", and "Nothing Revealed/Everything Denied." It's honestly such a great mix of music.
Like I said, this album feels different than what we're used to from The 1975, but it blends genres remarkably well and still gives us the sound that we're looking for. It may have taken me an album to actually get into The 1975 (I really got into them after "The Sound" from I like it when you sleep…), but I've been a fan ever since. I've always really been into their hits. "The Sound" (obviously), "Sex", "Heart Out", "Chocolate", and "It's Not Living (If It's Not With You)" are a few of my favorites. This new album feels different in a good way though and even the songs I don't typically fall for, I love. I think if you're an indie music fan or a music fan in general, you can find something on this record that you'll like. It's got something for everyone. But really, you might just love it all, it's that good. So give it a shot. If you don't find it appealing, my solution is that maybe you would like it better if you took off your clothes. (Of course, that one is my favorite!)

Coachella Band Preview: Years & Years, Halsey, Cold War Kids, & The 1975
Coachella Weekend 1 is 23 days away, which means 3 more weeks! I only have 3 weeks left and so many more bands to preview. That's why this week I'm combining 4 bands into one preview since I covered them each in depth on the blog before. They are Years & Years, Halsey, Cold War Kids, & The 1975. You'll notice links on the names of each band to their respective blog posts for a little more background information, but for now I'm just going to give a simple breakdown/recap on each.
Years & Years is a band I started listening to near the end of summer. They're kind of on that EDM spectrum, but can also be considered pop, indie pop, or synth pop. Since I wrote about them in the summer, the group has toured the U.S. and booked several music festivals along with Coachella this summer. They'll also be supporting fellow Coachella act Ellie Goulding on tour this spring. As a somewhat newer band (their first full length album was just released last year), it'll be their first time playing the Coachella festival. They play Friday.
I also started listening to Halsey around the same time I started listening to Years & Years. Halsey is a pop/electropop/indie pop singer. As I mentioned in my prior blog post on the artist, she has a comparable sound to Lorde but lyrically is comparable to Lana Del Rey. Since writing about Halsey, she released her debut album, Badlands, and like Years & Years also toured performing in venues throughout the U.S. She will perform for her first time in the Indio desert this year as well. Her set is on Saturday.
Both Cold War Kids and The 1975 are no strangers to Coachella. The 1975 played Coachella for the first time in 2014 and are making their big return this year following the release of their sophomore album, I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware of It. Since writing about the indie pop/indie rock band from the UK in early December 2015, they released their new album at the end of February. It debuted at the number one spot on both the UK Albums Chart and the Billboard 200 in the U.S. They play Sunday and I anticipate them drawing a decent sized crowd, especially now that they're playing more of a headlining role compared to their last Coachella appearance. Cold War Kids on the other hand will be playing Coachella for the third time. They first played the festival in 2008, but haven't performed there since 2011. There was actually some speculation that they might have been on last year's lineup, but as you know that didn't happen. Since I wrote about these alternative rock/indie rock music vets in the fall, they haven't been up to much besides touring. However the band announced last week via instagram that lead guitarist Dann Gallucci was parting ways with the group and will be replaced by David Quon. I'm sure he'll be in the mix when the group takes the stage on Sunday.
As you already know, I like all these acts and I recommend seeing each one's performance at Coachella. With Sunday's strong lineup of acts, it might be tougher to make the Cold War Kids set or The 1975 set due to conflicts, but there's less likely to be conflicting issues with seeing Halsey and Years & Years. To make sure you're ready to see each band/artist's performance though, here are my top three favorite songs by each (you can check my original blog posts on these 4 for more recommendations):

Hang Me Up To Dry

It's astounding how many great bands/singers/music artists are from the UK. It often seems like most of the bands I blog about are from there. Even many legendary groups throughout history, like The Beatles, The Who, Queen, The Rolling Stones, and Led Zeppelin, are British. So therefore, it wouldn't surprise you that the band I'm writing about this week also hails from the UK.
The 1975 formed in Manchester, England in 2002 when members Matt Healy, Ross MacDonald, Adam Hann, and George Daniel started playing cover shows together in local clubs as teenagers. It wasn't until August 2012 when the group released their first EP, Facedown. The band got national radio attention with their single "The City" from the EP as well as with the song "Sex" which came from their second EP of the same title (Sex) a few months later (November 2012). In March 2013, the band released their third EP, Music for Cars. "Chocolate", a single off the EP, reached the 19th spot on the UK singles chart. The same year the band began touring to build hype for their debut album. They joined The Neighbourhood on their 2013 U.S. tour, opened for Muse and The Rolling Stones, and played at the Reading and Leeds Festivals.
Their debut self-titled album came out on September 2, 2013. The 1975 spent the rest of 2013 and 2014 touring to promote the album and selling out many shows throughout Europe, North America, New Zealand, and Australia. The band plans to release their second album, I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware of It, in February 2016. Today, they announced a North American Tour in support of the new album from April to May 2016 in select cities across the United States and Canada. Their first single off the album, "Love Me", was released in October.
The band's music fits into the alternative/indie pop/rock genre. At times I even feel like their sound has some 80's pop/rock style influence, especially when I heard "Love Me" for the first time. Then there's other times where I get this R&B feel from their music. Honestly, they no doubt fit right in with The Neighbourhood on tour in 2013. It was baby-making music for the ages. Overall though, the band has their own unique indie pop/rock sound.
I was slightly late to the party when I discovered The 1975 in April 2014. I'm not even sure how I first heard of them, but I know I listened to them for a few months before I realized their song "Chocolate" had airplay on the local alternative radio station. In a much cooler world, where I would be able to attend any live music events that I want, regardless of price, location, availability, etc., I would be attending their show either in New York City tomorrow or in Philadelphia on Saturday. I probably would have already seen them live too, if I didn't already have plans when they played at a nearby venue at this time last year. Although I potentially would have seen them live this weekend if either show wasn't already sold out (or if I didn't have to pay over $100 for tickets that were originally $40), I figured why not write about this band anyway. The 1975's success over the last few years has only escalated and it continues to grow as well. They're bound to enter British music history like so many before them. If you've never heard of these guys, you may want to check out these song recommendations or if you're headed to an upcoming show, unlike me, you may want to re-listen to some of these song recommendations to hype you up (or if you just want some hype for the new album):

Apostolic Titbits: Substitutionism Or Propitiation Or Substitutionary Propitiation?
Substitutionism Or Propitiation Or Substitutionary Propitiation?
Our spirit comes in to eternal union with God through salvation, when we accept Christ's substitution on our behalf. Our spirit, soul and body comes in to restored fellowship with God when we appropriate the advocacy of Christ's propitiation. Jesus died both as substitute and as a propitiation. Substitute to save us from sin, propitiation to help us overcome sin after we are saved. So both are right! This is substitution in action — "God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God." (2 Cor 5:21, BSB). This is propitiation in action — "1 My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 2 And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world." (1 John 2:1-2). We confess to our High Priest Jesus the Christ of all our ongoing sins, so that He might advocate and propitiate [bring back] the continuance of God's favor over our lives (Heb 2:17-18; 4:14-16). Propitiation is an action of our confession to Jesus Christ that agrees with God's perfect standard of His law to say that we have failed and sinned, so that Jesus might exhibit the perfect sacrifice of Himself before our Father God to find back the favor of His Presence after we did wrong, the act of confession on our part and Jesus advocacy on our behalf representing before Father God will always restores and regains the fellowship of our Father's Presence (1 John 1:3-4, 7, 9). Only when there is a substitution, there can be a propitiation. So Christ death for us is substitutionary propitiation which was once and for all time fulfilled by God two thousand years ago and then reminded day by day before God by Jesus Christ our advocate in intercession for the favor of God to continue for all sinners like us, as long as we humbly confess our sins and let Him be faithful and just to forgive our sins.

Andrew O'Brien from Fortunate Ones had some time to chat with FOTR.
How has your tour been going so far?
The tour has been fantastic. Too often stops in Saskatchewan only include Regina and Saskatoon. It has been a real education, getting to see and experience smaller towns in the province. Saskatchewan is an exceptionally beautiful place and the people we've met have been so welcoming and kind. We've also been setting up/mixing and tearing down our own sound system each night. Historically, we've been spoiled by having sound people and equipment provided so at first we were a little hesitant about the the time and effort it was going to take to do it all ourselves but it has been surprisingly rewarding and we've gotten it down to a science!
You've previously mentioned that the more your tour Canada the more it feels like a unified country instead of being from Eastern Canada or Western Canada, why do you think that is?
The music of this country is so diverse but it is that diversity that binds us and brings us together. We run into fellow musicians and friends as we travel from coast to coast and we see ourselves in them. We're all out here trying to make a living at doing what we love. Rather than feeling a sense of division or competition we have come to see that there is an empowering community of like-minded artists in this country. This sense of community has been the greatest takeaway from this career. It really doesn't matter if you're making music in Vancouver, Saskatoon or St. John's, we're all trying to achieve the same goals.
There is such a strong folk music culture from your home province of Newfoundland. What do you think it is about NFLD that produces such accomplished musicians?
As Newfoundlanders we are fiercely proud and protective of our cultural heritage. We come from a culture of storytellers and singers. This sense of entertainment is almost certainly rooted in the geographical isolation of living on an island. When people started to settle in Newfoundland they brought with them oral and musical traditions from Ireland, England, Scotland, France and other regions and over time this melting pot of cultural styles has morphed into a patchwork that we think of as traditional Newfoundland music. The wonderful thing, now in Newfoundland, is that "folk music" is not solely recognized by the traditional instruments that have come to define it, rather it is a multi-genre art form that has grown exponentially over the last number of decades. It's either that or there's something in the water.
In the initial stages, you both were musicians in larger bands, do these larger collaborative interests still exist for you as Artists or do you find more drawn to the duo work in Fortunate Ones?
The urge to collaborate is always there and I think that is partly due to the fact that we have surrounded ourselves with such talented and inspiring people. We love what we do as Fortunate Ones but are definitely excited to expand on our sound and performances. We are looking forward to see where our next album will take that journey and will most definitely be calling on our friends to help us in that exploration.
How do you continue to challenge yourself as Artists and stay accountable to one another in your artistic vision?
We write and perform music to express ourselves and to connect with people. That connection is a powerful thing and strengthening that bond is always the goal. We always try to create work that comes from a meaningful and honest place. If we don't hold ourselves up to a creative standard and level of honesty in the work it would be difficult to get behind the music. If we can't stand behind our work then our fans won't either.
Previously, you have mentioned that time is a present theme in your music, do you find that communicating through the medium of music helps to make a transient thing like time feel more permanent by capturing the moment in music?
We've written many songs about time, it's passing and it's effect. I've yet to come to comfortable terms with it and I suspect my trepidation surrounding it will continue to be a central theme in our creation. I can't think of anything specifically that feels as though it has a true sense of permanence. All good and bad things fade with time. There is a joyful sorrow in moments as they pass. It's really quite beautiful and serene to know how utterly minuscule we all are.
Is there something you would like to mention that I have not asked?
We have a Christmas EP called All Will Be Well coming out this Friday, November 4. All details can be found at www.fortunateones.ca.
Fortunate Ones performs at the Arden Theatre Friday November 4, 2016. For more information on tickets and The Arden Theatre's Professional Musical Series, please visit their website. Some upcoming Artists include: Aoife O'Donovan, Jayme Stone's Lorax Project, David Myles, and The McDades.

Vacation time spent in Orlando tends to mean a number of hours spent on your feet. Whether you are visiting theme parks like Disney World or Universal Orlando, or taking advantage of the dozens of golf courses in the area, you will want a hotel where you have enough room to relax. Several accommodations in Orlando offer villa living with amenities that cater to those who need to soothe sore muscles by the end of the day.
Villas of Grand Cypress offers luxury items like mahogany furnishings and leather chairs. Large separate living areas come with a fireplace and a flat-screen TV. You can enjoy an iced tea on the private patio or terrace, many of which provide a view of the fairway of one of the 45 holes of golf designed by Jack Nicklaus. Golfing is the main recreational attraction at these villas. In addition to the golf course, the hotel is home to the Grand Cypress Academy of Golf. Those who wish to pursue other pleasures can play tennis at the Racquet Club, climb a 24-foot-high wall, take a jog, bike on the paths or head for two pools with waterslides.
Caribe Royale Resort is an all-suite hotel, but it also offers 120 two-bedroom villas. The villas are situated near the property's lake and include a master suite with king-sized bed and a whirlpool in the master bath. These villas also have fully equipped kitchens with a refrigerator and dishwasher. The bedrooms and living room all have their own television set. Guests enjoy exclusive access to a private pool as well as an official resort pool that is highlighted by waterfalls and a 75-foot-long water slide.
Reunion Resort is an upscale hotel where you can find villas with kitchens decked out in state-of-the-art equipment that include a double-sided chrome refrigerator and granite countertops. Some villas have a private screened-in swimming pool in the backyard. If you can't get one of those, head to the resort's official swimming pool that includes a lazy river and 110-foot water slide. Recreation includes three different golf courses, each designed by a PGA legend. You've also got tennis courts, a full-service spa and fitness classes to keep you busy.
Star Island Resort provides one of the most useful amenities you can hope for in an Orlando resort: the master bath Jacuzzi. A long relaxing bath is the perfect way to end the day after returning from a theme park or golf course. Before your bath, you might want to whip up your best meal in the fully equipped kitchen. The three-bedroom villas are good for parties of up to eight people and come with a sleeper sofa and mini-kitchenette. Swimming is available in the pool or the resort's lake. There are also courts for volleyball, tennis and basketball.

Photos: Google takes Manhattan
Office building entrance
Following a year of speculation, Google has finally opened its new office in the Big Apple at 111 Eighth Ave., in the heart of the Chelsea neighborhood in Manhattan, New York.
Google will occupy about 300,000 square feet on three floors of the building. Built in 1932 for the New York Port Authority, the building is home to such companies as Global Crossing and Barnesandnoble.com. It is the second-largest building in Manhattan in terms of square footage.

About 500 of Google's 8,000 employees currently work in New York.
Open office space
New York is home to Google's largest advertising sales office. It also houses the largest software engineering development outside of the company's home base in Mountain View, Calif. The new office space, which is very open, will allow for more collaboration among teams, executives say.
Riding scooters
Just like at the home office in California, Google employees can be seen scooting around the 300,000 square feet of office space on their Razor scooters.
Google executives
Craig Nevill-Manning, Google's New York engineering director (left), and Tim Armstrong, vice president of advertising sales, say a New York City presence is crucial to the company's success because it helps Google to recruit top-notch talent.
Ping-pong table and basketball hoop
More than 100 engineering projects are housed in the New York office. And where there are engineers, there will be games. Google's game room features a ping-pong table and a basketball hoop. Employees also can play pool, foosball or air hockey.
What game room would be complete without a video game setup and electronic guitar setup? Not Google's.
One of the perks of working for Google is access to free food all the time. This is one of many fully stocked kitchens that employees can use.
Cafeteria salads and sandwiches
This micro-cafeteria offers ready-made sandwiches and salads.
In addition to the snack bars, the new offices house a small cafeteria. Here employees can take advantage of a salad bar, dessert table, prepared hot dishes and ready-made sandwiches. Google also plans to open a full cafe on the eighth floor of the building in November that will offer employees an even greater variety of food options. Google employs a full-time chef and kitchen staff.

Description: A darkish purple teardrop-shaped blossom that grows on a banana tree. Also called a banana blossom and (regrettably) vazhai poo.
Cuisine Connection: Used in Thai, Indian, and other Asian cuisines in salads, soups, curries, and stir-fries.
Prep: Slice off the bottom stem and peel away the dull-colored tough outer petals. In between the petals are clusters of teeny, edible florets (i.e., would-be-bananas). Remove and discard the central stamen and little yellow buds from each floret, as these are bitter. As you peel, the petals will start to fade in color and become tender. Stop peeling and chop these petals finely. Have a bowl of lemon juice and water ready to place the florets and chopped petals in as cut up banana flowers oxidize quickly.
Storage: Banana-flower leaves turn brown if exposed to air for any length of time, so, if not using immediately, cover tightly in plastic wrap and store in the fridge.

Dan MacKenzie named CHL's first full-time president
By Mark ZwolinskiSports Reporter
Tues., July 30, 2019timer2 min. read
The Canadian Hockey League has found its replacement for David Branch, and they've dipped into the NBA to find him.
The CHL — made up by the three top major junior leagues in Canada — unveiled longtime NBA executive Dan MacKenzie as its first full-time president Tuesday, behind a vision to grow major junior hockey's presence through marketing and fan-player experience.
MacKenzie, a native of Guelph, takes over his new post in September, allowing the 70-year-old David Branch to return to his duties as Ontario Hockey League commissioner, after running both the CHL and OHL since 1996.
"Dan has a unique combination of league operations, sports marketing and business experience along with being a former school teacher. His experience will help the CHL continue to grow and expand our programs and player experience," Branch said in a statement.
MacKenzie has spent the last eight years of a 20-year NBA executive career as managing director of NBA Canada. The Canadian arm of the NBA, with the Raptors winning a historic first league championship, enjoyed unprecedented growth in television viewershipand record sales in league merchandise.
MacKenzie will work with Branch, and fellow commissioners Gilles Courteau (Quebec Major Junior Hockey League), and Ron Robison (Western Hockey League) as part of the CHL's executive council. That group will also work with a nine-member board of directors to grow the game across Canada.
While the CHL has not released specific targets, reaching more fans through expanded TV coverage and possibly expanding the 60-team CHL remain potential plans for the future.
"I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with the commissioners on strengthening the CHL and building on the strong foundation that currently exists. Growing up and living in Guelph, Ont., I understand the unique position that CHL teams hold in their communities and look forward to working with our teams to deepen the connection with our fans," MacKenzie said in a statement.
The CHL continues to be the leading pipeline to the NHL, with 71 of its graduates among the 217 players selected in the latest draft (32.7 per cent). Twenty-five of those 71 players came from the OHL, but the odds of having a lasting career in the NHL remain extremely low (research done in part by former Toronto Star hockey writer Ken Campbell estimated that 0.02 per cent of players drafted in Ontario go on to play at least 400 games).
Branch argued against the establishment of a CHL players' union, citing amateur player-student status, and provincial labour laws. All three leagues in the CHL were ultimately unified in holding off the union, with governments in nine Canadian provinces, and in the states of Washington and Michigan, exempting junior hockey players from local labour laws in the past four years.
While there was backlash against the failed unionization movement, MacKenzie enters what appears to be a potential to grow junior hockey's commitment to player and fan experience through expanded education plans, and marketing-social media endeavours.

Police perform epic 'Thriller' dance to cheer up sick boy: 'His face lit up'
Sept. 30, 2015, 10:31 PM UTC / Updated Oct. 1, 2015, 12:02 PM UTC / Source: TODAY
By A. Pawlowski
Why wait for Halloween when there's a special kid in need of cheering up? Menacing zombies attacked a bit early and dancing deputies performed "Thriller" — all to the delight of a boy who is battling a terminal illness.
Spencer Holt's usual routine of doctors and hospitals seemed far away on Tuesday as the 7-year-old became a deputized crime fighter during a special outing to the Pasco Sheriff's Office just north of Tampa, Florida.
The boy thought he would be meeting the sheriff and members of the SWAT team, but was surprised when he was suddenly recruited to fight some unsavory characters.

Spencer loves "The Walking Dead" and often watches the show when he's at the hospital or has a bad day and can't go outside, his mom, Cher Holt, told TODAY Parents. Being a kid of many interests, he's also a fan of law enforcement.
Deputies learned about Spencer's story through the community.
"Because Spencer had such an interesting love of police officers and zombies, it just seemed right to try to combine the two," said Melanie Snow, a spokeswoman for the Pasco Sheriff's Office.
"It was just great to see his face the whole time. He was having a really good time."
The boy is battling mitochondrial disease, which affects his digestive system, his mom said. There is no cure and Spencer has been in and out of hospitals, she added. He also suffers from seizures and low blood sugar, so there was some concern about whether he would even be able to make it to the event.
"We have good days and we have bad days," Holt said. "Our bad days are when all he can do is sleep." She doesn't know how much time she has left with her son.
As the event approached, 50 members of the drama club at two local high schools volunteered to take part, putting on scary zombie makeup and filling an old unused jail connected to the sheriff's office.

"In the middle of him meeting the sheriff… we had one of our SWAT guys bust into the room and say, 'We have a special mission for you, our jail is overrun by zombies,'" Snow said.
Spencer's face was priceless, his mom added.

Armed with a NERF gun and surrounded by officers and his family, Spencer took charge and roamed the jail to restore order.
"He loved it. Those memories will last a lifetime," his mom said, noting she was grateful for the high school kids and their kindness in taking part in the event.

Afterwards, when all the zombies were disposed of, the grand finale featured a group of deputies dancing to Michael Jackson's "Thriller." The officers practiced for two weeks, Snow said.
"His face lit up. He was so excited," she noted. "This was a great opportunity to do something for this little boy who has touched a lot of people's hearts."
Cher Holt was moved, too.
"We don't know what tomorrow holds for us," she said. "I'm so honored to be his mom. He's just my hero."

When a beautiful, aspiring writer strides into the East Village bookstore where Joe Goldberg works, he does what anyone would do: he Googles the name on her credit card.
There is only one Guinevere Beck in New York City. She has a public Facebook account and Tweets incessantly, telling Joe everything he needs to know: she is simply Beck to her friends, she went to Brown University, she lives on Bank Street, and she'll be at a bar in Brooklyn tonight—the perfect place for a "chance" meeting.
As Joe invisibly and obsessively takes control of Beck's life, he orchestrates a series of events to ensure Beck finds herself in his waiting arms. Moving from stalker to boyfriend, Joe transforms himself into Beck's perfect man, all while quietly removing the obstacles that stand in their way—even if it means murder.
Well, for all of the hype for this book, it didn't really leave me feeling shocked or awed or super impressed, but I did find that it left a lasting impression and that I wanted to read the next book right away! I did like the things that were different about it. I really enjoyed the different narration in the second person, hence the title "You". Main character (and super psychopath) Joe narrates the book to and about his newest obsession, Guinevere Beck. It was an interesting choice of narration and it really gets you in the head of the narrator. I did have a hard time with the book — not in a bad way, but in a way that confused me because this guy is totally nuts. He's actually crazy and creepy and scary and does some very, very bad things… And yet I felt sympathetic at times! The form of narration really had me feeling for him even though I knew he was totally wrong and deranged. I also really enjoyed Joe's voice in the sense that it felt more personal. It wasn't just recounting. He often interrupted himself or interjected with more things that brought one more level to the account.
For all of the hype, I felt like there was supposed to be a twist coming and while that really wasn't this kind of book. I think I got myself all hyped because of other people's reactions and it didn't really shock me like I thought it would, but instead, it was shocking in a very different way. I was so appalled at Joe's actions and yet it was also a train wreck that I couldn't stop watching. I really did get myself all psyched for a big twist moment, so I was a bit sad that that didn't happen, but I also am coming to appreciate those thrillers that can wrap up without a twist because if every book had a twist, they'd all be predictable!
The book was very sexual, and I don't have issues with sexuality in books, but it did feel overdone at times. I guess that is kind of the point of the book in a way, since Joe's obsession is romantic on all levels. He's obsessed with Beck emotionally, physically, and mentally. Clearly he has several psychoses so the obsession is overboard on so many levels. I am used to reading YA which really doesn't get explicit of course, but there were points that felt like a little much for me.
YOU was interesting and engaging from start to finish and I did enjoy reading it but I think I was just let down by the hype. I kept waiting for a huge moment that didn't really happen and I thought that's how the book would end but was also kind of hoping it wouldn't. Looking back on it as I'm reviewing, I really was totally engaged so that really did leave a good lasting impression! Somehow Joe came off as charismatic in a way and I wanted to pick up HIDDEN BODIES shortly thereafter!

Kept Me Hooked On: Crazy, messed-up thrillers. I don't know why but every once in a while, I like a good, messed up book.
Left Me Wanting More: Twists. I guess I did appreciate the lack of a big twist but I was also really expecting it so it was kind of a bummer!
If you like some crazy thrillers that put you into the mind of a literal psychopath, definitely check out YOU!

For people who don't want to work full time in order to improve their work/life balance, a variety of options is available. One is job sharing. That is when two people, and occasionally more, share one job. In practical terms, that means they divide up the responsibilities, hours and benefits according to how much each of them works.
Job sharing can manifest itself in different ways. You can work different hours, different days or even alternate weeks. You can also both work at the same time, if you so desire. The crucial component is that you are doing one job, together.
Having a job share can be a fantastic solution for people – especially working mums – who do not want to work full time and/or prefer perhaps to do the childcare themselves. But it's not for everyone, especially as it requires a great amount of cooperation, coordination and communication between the people involved for it to work well.
Flexible working regulations mean that employers have to look seriously into job sharing propositions, and should have a legitimate reason for refusing a job share proposal.
Shared responsibility. This for some people, is the best type of job share around – although it can also go terribly pear-shaped. It is when both partners are equally responsible for sharing all the responsibilities of the job, and will only work well when the two partners are well-matched and both devoted to communicating with each other on a regular basis.
Divided responsibility. This can work when the two partners have a job in which it is easy to divide up specific projects, or specific client caseloads. Each partner will work individually on the project they have been allocated.
Unrelated responsibility. This is kind of like two different jobs running concurrently within the same focus group and works well when people have completely different skill sets.
Would You Do Well in a Job Share?
If you are interested in a job share, you will need to think long and hard about whether it is really the working solution for you. Although the benefits of working fewer hours are clear, especially if you have children, managing a job share can be tricky and can sometimes lead to disappointment.
Do you work well independently, or do you prefer to work alongside others?
Do you have effective communication and coordination skills?
If you started a project, are you happy to let others finish it?
How flexible are you? Can you readily accept other ways of doing things?
Can you handle it if someone else takes the credit for the work you have done?
For working mums, the benefits of job sharing are obvious. You will work fewer hours, and hopefully be able to plan a working schedule with increased flexibility that will enable you to spend more time with your children. While you will earn less than you would in a full time job, the money you may save on childcare could even things out.
Employers find that employees who job share have a reduced level of absence, are more devoted to their jobs, and have increased productivity. They are also able to retain skilled staff, who might otherwise leave if their requests for flexible hours were not met.
But not every job is compatible for sharing, and some people who job share might find that their managers give them twice as much work, seeing as there are two people on the job. They might find they are not compatible with their job share partner, so it should be stipulated from the beginning whose responsibility it would be to find a replacement, should the need occur.
Still, for most people, a job share is the answer to a prayer, giving them the work flexibility they need to achieve a better work/life balance. If you are interested, talk to others who currently job share themselves to find out more about it first-hand, and see if you really want to take this life-changing step.

A New Resident Evil 3 Teaser Can Now be Found in Resident Evil 2
Written by Michael Arrieta on December 14, 2019 | OpenCritic
Games discussed: Resident Evil 2
A new connection between the upcoming Resident Evil 3 Remake and Resident Evil 2 has been found.
The demo for Resident Evil 2 has been re-uploaded on Steam. The demo is no longer a one-shot, and has gotten rid of the 30 minute time limit. There was also a creepy teaser for Resident Evil 3 added to the demo. There is a point in the demo when you can hear Resident Evil 3 baddie Nemesis growl "STAAARS." You can hear the growl below.
For those who do not know, Nemesis is the villain in Resident Evil 3. Throughout the game, he hunts down the game's protagonist, Jill Valentine. Much like Mr. X in Resident Evil 2, Nemesis cannot be killed, and will torment you the entire game.
The Nemesis growl in the Resident Evil 2 demo is not the only Resident Evil 3 Easter Egg that can be found in the game. It was recently revealed that a special trophy is coming to Resident Evil 2, entitled "Chasing Jill." in order to receive the trophy, players have to find a letter left behind by Jill Valentine. The achievement was found in the game a week ago, and was officially announced earlier this week.
Resident Evil 2 released for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One this past January. The game was met with critical praise, and even earned a Mighty rating from OpenCritic. The game was a huge presence at this year's Game Awards. The title was nominated for Best Action / Adventure, Audio Design, Game Direction, and Game of the Year. The games sequel will be receiving a remake similar to what Resident Evil 2 received earlier this year. The Resident Evil 3 remake will release on April 3rd, 2020. The game will also come with a new asymmetrical multiplayer mode entitled Resident Evil Resistance, which tasks four survivors to escape from a mastermind.

In the past, alcohol and drug addiction rehab was separate from mental health treatment. If you had co-occurring disorders, you had to attend treatment at two different facilities using very different therapies. Now, these conditions are better understood. Rehab professionals understand how mental health plays a role in addiction and vice versa.
Depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, OCD and other conditions were once seen as entirely separate conditions from addiction. There was no understanding that mental health conditions could be an underlying cause of substance abuse. As a result, many people with co-occurring disorders never received proper addiction therapy services. Additionally, they may have received addiction treatment, leaving the mental illness behind.
Today, we know there is a cycle of mental illness and addiction in many people's lives. Consequently, if mental illness treatment doesn't include addiction recovery, the addiction will cause mental health problems to relapse. Similarly, when addiction treatment occurs, but mental health problems are left uncared for, mental issues will drive the addiction into relapse.
Addiction professionals and mental health practitioners now view treatment of co-occurring disorders as one healthcare field. About seven million Americans suffer from co-occurring disorders. This often accompanies poverty, isolation, incarceration, illness and homelessness. However, treating people with dual diagnosis can provide immense hope for a better future.
Many studies indicate a strategy and plan for dual diagnosis treatment. As a result, care for both conditions is clear.
When you're faced by both addiction recovery and mental illness treatment, you feel overwhelmed. But, through the right programs and therapies, treatment plans are clear. You simply must show up, participate and get to know your triggers, temptations, methods, and needs.
In a dual diagnosis rehab program, you are never alone in your co-occurring conditions. Your peers are walking the same path, right alongside you. Moreover, our supportive staff fully understands the challenges you face.
You should never compromise when seeking dual diagnosis treatment. You need rehab that provides treatment for both conditions at once. Your chosen rehab facility must use the latest therapeutic methods and offer programs that interest you for your fullest participation toward breakthroughs.
In Asheville, North Carolina, Crest View Recovery Center provides dual diagnosis rehab. Furthermore, your treatment takes place in an intimate setting in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina. Don't allow your addiction to feed off your mental illness any longer. At Crest View Recovery Center, you develop the life skills and coping strategies you need for overall wellness.
If you or someone you love are ready to end a cycle of drug or alcohol addiction, the dual diagnosis treatment programs at Crest View Recovery Center will help you. You can experience healthy, lasting recovery. Call Crest View Recovery Center at 866.327.2505 for more information.

Q: HTML characters are not transalated during render I have some js code which renders the following HTML

 didn't project a significant increase

In the browser, it actually displays the characters #039; instead of converting it to ' is there a way to force/prevent the browser from doing this conversion?

A: When rendering an HTML entity, it may need to be compiled.  You can use one of these options:

*

*Interpolation

 didn{{ `'` }}t project a significant increase

*

*v-html

 didn<span v-html="`'`">t project a significant increase

Note that these first two examples are using a template literal, not single quotes.

*

*Render function
If using a render function, you can set the innerHTML domProps:
render(h) {
  return h('span', {
    domProps: {
      innerHTML: 'didn't project a significant increase'
    }
  });
}

Here is a demo

Original
You're missing an &, it should be:

 didn't project a significant increase

A: In my specific situation. I ended. up solving the problem by using the he HTML encoder/deccoder https://www.npmjs.com/package/he to decode the HTML before rendering.

Highlighting and contouring has been a hot beauty topic, but leaves some of us wondering, how can I get this look? You don't need Photoshop to get that straight-from-the-red-carpet celebrity look! Perfectly chiseled cheeks and multidimensional warmth are just a few steps away with Pur Minerals.
The first rule of contouring is to work from light to dark. That means starting out with your lightest shade and adding progressively darker shades. Using a shade that's slightly lighter than your natural skin tone, apply a concealer, like Pur Minerals Disappearing Act, above your cheekbone and over areas where the sun naturally hits, such as your forehead and the bridge of your nose. We love the buildable and blendable coverage of this 4-in-1 concealer!
After highlighting, apply your foundation as you normally would. An all-in-one correcting formula, like Pur's 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup, (my personal fave!), won't just conceal imperfections like dark spots and blemishes; it will actually help improve your skin's appearance with built-in skincare ingredients like Waltheria Extract, ceramides and vitamin A. How awesome is that?
Using a powder brush, apply bronzing powder beneath your cheekbones, below your jaw line and along the outer edges of your forehead. Rich in good-for-you antioxidants, Mineral Glow by Pur Minerals adds the perfect touch of natural depth, mimicking the skin's own golden undertones for a look that's never orange or streaky.
Now that you've sculpted your features, it's time to add some color. Using a blush brush, sweep blush over the apples of your cheeks, blending up to the hairline for a multidimensional look straight from the makeup artist's chair! If you haven't yet, you HAVE to check out Pur's new Chateau Cheeks blushes, available in powder and cream formulas.
How do you highlight and contour? Show us on Pinterest and Instagram with #beautystoredepot! We'd love to see your looks!
Until next time...stay tuned and stay beautiful!
Nice post. I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store.

RNLI New Brighton's lifeboat escorts Cunard's flagship during 175th birthday
RNLI Lifeboats at 3 Queens from New Brighton, Hoylake & Lytham

RNLI Lifeboats from New Brighton – Hoylake and Lytham at 3 Queens event
Bank Holiday Monday, 25th May, saw RNLI New Brighton's inshore lifeboat B-837 Charles Dibdin escort Cunard's flagship Queens Mary 2 as the three magnificent liners sailed down the River Mersey in celebration of Cunard's 175th birthday.
sarfn.firetrench.com
RNLI stations at New Brighton, Hoylake and Lytham St Annes were privileged to represent the RNLI as part of the cortège at Cunard's Three Queens spectacular on the River Mersey watched by over one million people at the event followed by many more on TV and other media worldwide.
New Brighton's Charles Dibdin was joined on the river by Hoylake's new Shannon class all-weather lifeboat 13-06 Edmund Hawthorn Micklewood and Lytham St Annes all-weather lifeboat 12-30 Her Majesty the Queen making her the fourth Queen on the river. Although forming part of the escort they were also on standby should their services be called upon. With unprecedented crowds visiting the event their was a significant risk that someone would end up in the water.
In addition RNLI Lifeguards were on duty safeguarding the vast crowds on the Wirral and Crosby shores endeavouring to minimise the dangers of people going into the water, being cut off by the incoming tide or stuck in extensive areas of mud or soft sand.
Supporting the lifeguards New Brighton's hovercraft H-007 Samburgh was patrolling the area between New Brighton and Seacombe on the Wirral bank helping police the sands and groynes to keep people safe from getting stuck in mud or by the incoming tide, prevention being better than rescue.
Cheering crowds thronged both banks of the River Mersey as the Queen Elizabeth led the parade escorted by the Edmund Hawthorn Micklewood followed by Queen Victoria by the Her Majesty the Queen as escort and finally Cunard's 150,000 ton flagship Queen Mary 2 by the Charles Dibdin sailed into port with horns sounding. After passing Liverpool's Pier Head they proceeded to do their choreographed synchronised 'river dance' against the backdrop of the Three Graces, a world heritage site which includes the Cunard Building, the company's headquarters from 1916-1967 and topped off overhead when the Red Arrows when they flew over.
Cunard's fleet of three Queens were the biggest ships ever to sail in formation down the Mersey. Liverpool is the companies spiritual home where they began back in 1840 and the history of Liverpool and Cunard have been closely linked ever since.
This pre-dates the foundation of the RNLI New Brighton lifeboat station established in 1863 although there had been lifeboat stations in the area since the 1770's. Generations of lifeboat crews have watched the big Cunard liners come and go on the river.
After the event the RNLI lifeguards reported that there were many thousands of people on the beaches of Wirral and Crosby. They took preventative action keeping the sandbanks areas and groynes safe by escorting people to safe ground before the tide came in. On the beaches they were involved in providing information, advice plus first aid in two serious cases, dealing with reports of two missing persons plus responding along with the hovercraft to a potential mud rescue.
Dave Lowe Senior Helmsman at New Brighton said 'It's an honour for the RNLI and New Brighton Lifeboat station to be involved in this event celebrating Cunards 175 years of seafaring history. Like ourselves, Cunard have served the port of Liverpool and the River Mersey for many years and it's fitting that the port is recognised by the three queens paying their respects to the City and the Cunard building that built Cunard into what it is today.'
He continued 'It is also special in that we are on the Mersey with our sister stations Hoylake & Lytham St Anne's. It is great viewing for the public and I'm sure that nautical enthusiasts will have been revelling in the amount of different vessels afloat today. We wish everyone an enjoyable bank holiday and a safe journey home'
Graham Sale Lifeboat Operations Manager at New Brighton said ' It was quite a spectacle watching those great ships sailing down the river and enthralling the crowd with superb seamanship as they manoeuvred into position opposite the Cunard Building. It was a great tribute to our charities dedicated volunteers and supporters that we formed part of the Queens escort and safety cover in the river as well as the RNLI providing vital safety cover on the coast on both sides of the river '

Reviews: The First Love Edition
Now a Major Motion Picture
Cori McCarthy
Series: n/a
Age/Genre: Young Adult, Contemporary
Fandom and first love collide for Iris on the film set for her grandmother's famous high-fantasy triology—perfect for readers of Fangirl!
Unlike the rest of the world, Iris doesn't care about the famous high-fantasy Elementia books written by M. E. Thorne. So it's just a little annoying that M. E. Thorne is her grandmother—and that Iris has to deal with the trilogy's crazy fans.
When Iris gets dropped in Ireland for the movie adaptation, she sees her opportunity: if she can shut down production, the Elementia craze won't grow any bigger, and she can finally have a normal life. Not even the rascally-cute actor Eamon O'Brien can get in her way.
But the crew's passion is contagious, and as Iris begins to find herself in the very world she has avoided her whole life, she realizes that this movie might just be amazing…
Iris was raised to resent her grandmother's world famous Elementia books, and her ire for the series deepened after a rabid fan crossed the line. Out of obligation though, Iris agreed to accompany her little brother to the set of the film adaptation. What she thought would be a most miserable trip, turned out to be quite life changing.
From the cover and synopsis, I thought this book would be cute and fun, but it surprisingly had a lot of depth and tugged at my heartstrings.
Things I really liked:
This book was jam packed with so many wonderful characters. Eamon was witty, amusing, and full of quirks that I couldn't help but love. He was so wonderfully perfect! I also loved every second I got to spend with Julian and Shoshana, and I thought Cate was ah-mazing!
The friendships were strong. This was a production, which was facing a lot of adversity, and seeing the cast and crew bond together and help one another was a beautiful thing. The vibe was so contagious, even I wanted to pitch in.
Talk about your adorable romances! There were a few in there, but Iris' was my favorite. It was so sweet and awkward and exactly what I wanted for her first love.
You all know I loved my trip to Ireland, so the setting was a standout for me. They seemed to be filming in all the places I visited, which I loved, because I got to say, "I was there."
It was hard fought, but I enjoyed getting to the root of Iris's family dysfunction, and seeing some progress made towards a resolution.
McCarthy did a nice job weaving the Elementia story into the book. It was well integrated, and I liked the parallels that were drawn between that story and Iris' story.
This book was really fun. I laughed and smiled a whole lot.
Iris grew so much during this story! She learned a ton about her grandmother, her father, her brother, and herself, and it really opened up a whole new way of thinking for her.
The ending was so good! I am always happy to get an epilogue, but I swear, you will love this one.
Overall: A sweet and charming story filled with romance, humor, family drama, friendship, and self-discovery, which left me with a big stupid grin on my face.
The Summer of Jordi Perez
Amy Spalding
Age/Genre: Young Adult, Contemporary, Romance
Publisher: Sky Pony Press
Seventeen, fashion-obsessed, and gay, Abby Ives has always been content playing the sidekick in other people's lives. While her friends and sister have plunged headfirst into the world of dating and romances, Abby has stayed focused on her plus-size style blog and her dreams of taking the fashion industry by storm. When she lands a prized internship at her favorite local boutique, she's thrilled to take her first step into her dream career. She doesn't expect to fall for her fellow intern, Jordi Perez. Abby knows it's a big no-no to fall for a colleague. She also knows that Jordi documents her whole life in photographs, while Abby would prefer to stay behind the scenes.
Then again, nothing is going as expected this summer. She's competing against the girl she's kissing to win a paid job at the boutique. She's somehow managed to befriend Jax, a lacrosse-playing bro type who needs help in a project that involves eating burgers across L.A.'s eastside. Suddenly, she doesn't feel like a sidekick. Is it possible Abby's finally in her own story?
But when Jordi's photography puts Abby in the spotlight, it feels like a betrayal, rather than a starring role. Can Abby find a way to reconcile her positive yet private sense of self with the image that other people have of her?
Is this just Abby's summer of fashion? Or will it truly be The Summer of Jordi Perez (and the Best Burger in Los Angeles)?
Ah, first love! I felt so lucky to be able to accompany Abby on her path to romance, because it was one adorable and fun trip.
Abby was a really interesting and vibrant character. She was quite charming, and had this magnetic persona. However, because of her mother, her lack of a love life, and the general distaste directed towards "bigger" girls, Abby was unable to recognize how wonderful she was, even when everyone was telling her so.
Abby's world was pretty fun to be in too. The whole fashion blogger thing and adventures through clothes was interesting, and I loved going out for burgers with Abby and Jax. Jax was such a bro, but he had a heart of gold. The heart-to-hearts Abby and Jax shared were delightful, and I was actually starting to anticipate and look forward to their eating adventures.
The Summer of Jordi Perez, chronicles Abby's summer of growth and change. She got her dream internship, and found a mentor, who was giving her the support she needed to flourish. She worked through her changing relationship with her best friend, and formed a new and unlikely friendship with Jax. She came to an understanding with her parents, but most importantly, she fell in love.
I love romance, and this one was very sweet. Both Jordi and Abby were new to this whole romance thing, and they shared so many special moments with us. The little touches and brushes and the excitement that accompanied them made me smile. I loved watching their connection grow and change, and it definitely warmed my heart and made me feel good.
Overall: A sweet and charming story of first love, friendship, and learning to see yourself through someone else's eyes, which left me with lots of happy feels.

What an adorable premise for Now a Major Motion Picture! The family, friendships, and Ireland setting has be adding it to my tbr, thanks! The Summer of Jordi Perez sounds sweet too!
Samantha@WLABB April 14, 2018 at 11:05 AM
The book really was fun and adorable and really enjoyable. I seem to love books with fandoms, though I am not really part of one. It was an interesting element to add to the family drama.
Suzanne @ The Bookish Libra April 13, 2018 at 7:00 PM
I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed Now a Major Motion Picture. I thought it sounded so cute when I read the synopsis.
It was all sorts of fun and cute, but had a lot of depth too.
Midnight Cowgirl April 13, 2018 at 8:36 PM
Now a Major Motion Picture sounds so good!
This is one that lived up to its fun cover.
Carole's Random Life in Books April 13, 2018 at 8:37 PM
I almost downloaded Now a Major Motion Picture. I still might since it sound great. Glad you enjoyed both of these!
If you enjoy a sweet romance and some family drama sprinkled with a little fandom, you would like this one.
Tanya @ Girl Plus Books April 13, 2018 at 8:57 PM
Now a Major Motion Picture looks so adorable. And more than one romance? Even better! And an Ireland setting is always a bonus. It sounds like family plays a really big role and I always love to see families represented well in YA.
There is one romance that is talked about, and I may have shed a few tears. I liked it a lot and was happy with the exploration of the family issues and the way McCarthy resolved some of them.
Becky Baker April 22, 2018 at 11:23 AM
Now a Major Motion Picture sounds awesome, how have I not heard of that book? It sounds like a great lighter read that is slightly ridiculous (trying to stop a movie production, really?) but will definitely be enjoyable. And Amy Spalding had a new book out? She is an author who has been on my TBR for a while so now I feel bad I'm still not getting around to reading.
It was on the lighter side, even with the bit of family drama. Motion Picture was tons of fun. I have other Spalding books unread, but this one called my name, and it was really great.
Olivia's Catastrophe April 30, 2018 at 6:27 PM
The Summer of Jordi Perez sounds like an interesting one. I like the sound of fashion coming into play a little bit more. I don't think the Motion Picture one is for me, but I am glad you enjoyed it!
Samantha@WLABB April 30, 2018 at 8:11 PM
Jordi Perez was a really sweet romance with lots of family and friendship aspects, which always enhance my enjoyment.

Day Five Update from Supervisor Rice
County of Marin sent this bulletin at 03/20/2020 05:31 PM PDT
It's Friday, March 20, day five of Marin's "Shelter in Place" order, day one of a similar statewide order to slow the spread of the Coronavirus. A week ago, we were thinking basic best hygiene; today we are asking residents to stay at home, minimize social interactions, and prepare for weeks if not months of a different way of living.
Schools are closed. Our K-12 kids are staying home. Our college students are coming home. 2020 graduates across the nation will likely be convening virtually to mark the milestone of graduation and commencement. Happy gatherings, more somber goodbyes, the milestones of life that bring us together will have to be celebrated, memorialized in different ways during this time of social distancing. One day, hopefully not too far in the future, when we can gather, the power of being together will be just that more meaningful.
These are unprecedented times, with every member of our community, across public and private sectors -- being asked to radically modify our work and personal lives in order to prevent a public health disaster. Everyone will be impacted –socially, and economically -- some much more severely than others. At the local level, we have already begun taking steps to blunt the economic blow particularly for our most disadvantaged, our most vulnerable, those who will be hit hardest most immediately, while we wait for state and federal government action and programs to kick-in. I include info on these actions below.
First and Foremost – Sign up!
If you have not done so yet, please sign up to receive emailed COVID-19 updates from County of Marin. The covid-19 website is being updated daily with newest information related to the Coronavirus in Marin, includes a comprehensive FAQ sheet answering the myriad of questions being asked by residents regarding the virus, the Shelter-in-Place order, and more. But still feel free to contact me and/or my office (see phone numbers below) with any questions.
Countywide Eviction Moratorium
The Marin County Board of Supervisors plans to consider a resolution March 24 that would prevent Marin County residents and business owners from being evicted because of a sudden loss of income tied to the COVID-19 pandemic. The moratorium would last until May 31.
If adopted, the resolution will provide temporary protection to renters and commercial lease holders whose residency and businesses may be jeopardized by the loss of income related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Additionally, on March 18, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) authorized the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) to implement an immediate foreclosure and eviction moratorium for single family homeowners with FHA-insured mortgages for the next 60 days. And the Governor's executive order N-28-20 requested that financial institutions holding home or commercial mortgages implement moratoriums on foreclosures when foreclosure/eviction arises out of financial circumstances caused by Covid-19.
The County's moratorium on eviction would provide that if a residential tenant or commercial small business lease holder has not made a timely rent payment that was due on or after March 18, the landlord cannot evict if the tenant provides notice within 30 days after the rent was due that they are unable to pay because of financial impacts related to COVID-19.
The County of Marin and Marin Community Foundation (MCF) have joined to create a $1 million fund to assist vulnerable populations amid the COVID-19 response. MCF allocated $500,000, with the County matching from its General Fund, to address some of the most urgent safety-net needs for residents.
The fund will be allocated over the next two months to soften the social and economic impacts of the pandemic with five main efforts:
Emergency rental assistance for low-income residents
Expanded food for economically disadvantaged families
Expanded meals for seniors
Wi-Fi mobile access for economically disadvantaged students
Emergency childcare for health care workers and emergency responders
See the press release for more detail.
The Bad Guys (and Gals) are Still Out There
PG&E has asked us to share the following as they have reports from customers regarding scam email and phone calls by people representing themselves as PG&E reps.
Don't be fooled! Scammers are including specific names of customers, guess dollar amounts owed and disguise their phone number with caller ID as "PG&E" or "Pacific Gas & Electric."
PG&E announced a moratorium on service disconnections for non-payment, effective immediately for both residential and commercial customers.
Customers should assume any threat related to a disruption in service for non-payment is a scam.
PG&E will never ask for personal information or a credit card number over the phone.
Anyone who has received such a call can report it immediately by calling PG&E at 1-800-743-5000 or visit www.pge.com/scams.
Talking Toilet Paper (and I'm not talking about hoarding!)
Everyone's home and everyone's doing a lot of sanitizing, using disposable wipes as if they owned stock in Clorox. All good, unless that wipe gets put in the toilet. Our sanitary districts across the county are reminding all residents of the importance of only flushing toilet paper down the toilet. Sanitary wipes marketed and sold as "flushable wipes" aren't and can severely impact the sewer pipes in your neighborhood causing blockages and overflows into your home.
Paper towels, disinfecting wipes, flushable wipes, and all other materials besides toilet paper should always be disposed of properly inside of a trash container. The sewer system is not designed for thicker wipes and paper products.
If you're not convinced yet, and seriously bored, watch the following video to learn more
