Did you see where African American Millennials have more positive feelings for Hillary Clinton than Bernie Sanders? Secretary Clinton has lagged among Millennials (folks aged 18 to 34) in general and especially among young women in that cohort. With the predominance of African American voters among Democrats in South Carolina, it will be interesting to see how that plays out.
TGE Demographics is pleased to contribute the inaugural guest blog for the updated website of Ebony Marketing Systems (EMS) in New York. EMS is a long-standing market research organization specializing in multicultural research for a wide variety of corporations, government entities, and other organizations. The January blog entry features a portrait of American-American Millennials, including location analytics showing US metropolitan areas ranked by absolute and relative numbers of Millennials.
As Dr. Thomas Exter, the chief demographer at TGE Demographics, notes in the blog "…lucky Millennials got quality time, arguably too much of it, from their parents. Now, mostly grown up and on their own, they're getting out-sized attention from Marketers." While inequities certainly exist in the African-American Millennial market, the full, annual buying power of this market – $162 billion – cannot be left off the table by consumer marketers. As well, African-American Millennials mirror the overall Millennial marketplace as one where singles and childless young couples predominate, though they're rapidly moving into their family-building and home-owning life stage. Fully 53 percent of African-American Millennials have at least some college experience, comparing favorably to the 60 percent of Millennials overall with such experience. In fact, African-American Millennials currently attend undergraduate or post-graduate college programs to the same extent as all Millennials – 25 percent.
Where are the African-American Millennials? Check out these tables showing metropolitan market areas ranked by the total number of Millennials per market as well as the African-American Millennial percent of total Millennial market.
As marketers and market researchers like Ebony Marketing Systems apply the latest data and methodologies in assessing multi-cultural markets, "location intelligence" and demographic analysis are necessary companions. See the entire blog post on the new EMS website here and boost your Millennial IQ.
Technical Note: These statistics are based on an exclusive analysis by TGE Demographics Consulting of the Census Bureau's American Community Survey microdata or PUMS (Public Use Microdata Sample). This data set, which includes over 15 million completely anonymized person-level records, is available for detailed analysis of American consumer markets, especially demographically-defined market segments. As the sample is geographically referenced down to the PUMA area sampling unit, variations in market size and buying power can be estimated for local markets. Additionally, the American Community Survey "summary data" (results aggregated to small geographic units) can be tabulated down to the census tract level with reasonable accuracy. Finally, TGE Demographics recently posted an update on Hispanic Millennials which can be found on the TGE Demographics blog based on the Census Bureau's county population estimates.
Lucky Millennials got quality time, arguably too much of it, from their parents. Now mostly grown up and on their own, they're getting out-sized attention from marketers. With Millennials outnumbering Baby Boomers and surging through their family and household-building years, it's time to take a closer look at this diverse generation. After all, Millennials reflect America, and there are more than 10 million adult African-American Millennials among more than 73 million total adult Millennials.
Adult Millennials – those aged 18 to 34 in the latest American Community Survey – were born between 1980 and 1995, though definitions vary. They were the entire school-aged population from first grade through college as the events of 9/11 unfolded. If generations are seared and defined by history and trends during their formative years, surely Millennials qualify. For African-American Millennials there are sobering disparities but also untapped market potential. Data-driven marketers and market researchers need to fully understand market trends and opportunities not only among African American Millennials but among all the ethnic and cultural Millennial segments. If business stakeholders just let the numbers and voices speak, businesses and consumers can benefit. For example, consider these stats from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey.
African-American adult Millennial buying power exceeds $162 billion as measured by annual personal income. Household buying power – where the householder is an adult African-American Millennial – is $115 billion. Among the 3.1 million households headed by African-American Millennials, mean income is $37,000 which is 65 percent of the overall average among adult Millennials – $57,000. Further, only 5.5 percent of African-American Millennial households have incomes of $100K or more, but that compares to only 14 percent of all Millennial households. Indeed, income disparities affect all Millennials regardless of ethnic origin and cultural background. Still, this is a youthful generation, and their true potential should grow as they take their families and careers into and through the higher-earning age groups. Conclusion: as with Baby Boomers during this life stage, now's the time to establish and solidify some brand loyalty.
Fully 53 percent of today's adult African-American Millennials attained at least some college experience after graduating from high school. Nearly 13 percent have bachelor's degrees or higher educational credentials. Among all adult Millennials, 60 percent have at least some college-level experience, and 22.3 percent have a bachelor's degree or more. Encouragingly, African-American Millennials currently attend undergraduate or post-graduate college programs to the same extent as all Millennials – 25 percent.
Eight in ten African-American Millennials are never-married singles, compared to 65 percent of Millennials overall. Clearly this statistic speaks to the many challenges faced by African Americans, especially men, during these formative years. Nevertheless, relationships and families of all ethnicities are often "in transition" during the young-adult years. Bottom line for marketers: singles and childless young couples predominate among all Millennials.
Where are the African-American Millennials? Location is always important, but not always what it seems. Increasingly, businesses rely on "location intelligence" as they sift through their desired markets, especially demographically defined markets like Millennials. Any strategy to address African-American Millennials needs to incorporate the geography of this important segment.
New York, Atlanta, Chicago, Washington, DC, and South Florida highlight the top five metro markets for African-American Millennials, measured by sheer size of the market. (See the Top 40 African-American Millennial markets in the tables that follow.) Clearly, metropolitan markets are easier to reach than non-metropolitan markets because of the concentration of all media, media specialization, and internet accessibility. Nevertheless, 6.7 million Millennials reside in non-metropolitan areas including 754,000 African-American Millennials.
African-American Millennials surpass 30 percent of the total Millennial market in 12 metros. Jackson, MS; Memphis, TN-MS-AR; Augusta-Richmond County, GA-SC; Columbus, GA-AL; and, Columbia, SC are the top five with respect to the African American share of all Millennials. In contrast, some of the largest metro markets – Houston, New York, Chicago, Dallas, Boston, San Francisco, and Riverside, for example – show less than 20 percent African-American Millennials. Nationally, including both metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas, African-American Millennials represent 13.7 percent of all Millennials. Such information can inform marketing and advertising campaigns that inevitably drive optimal returns on those same marketing and advertising campaigns.
Marketers with products and services targeted to African-American Millennials need to look at the geographic distribution and data-informed characteristics of this market – educated singles, couples with and without kids, youthful perspectives, and, yes, promising careers and entrepreneurial spirits – facts that break the stereotypes, the media portrayals, and the assumptions that do not represent the broader reality of these markets. Portraits, profiles, and percentages can reveal much about desirable market segments however defined. But up-to-date research, in-depth demographics, and savvy location intelligence of African-American and other Millennials can actually unlock new opportunities for many types of businesses. Astute market research – exemplified by Ebony Marketing Systems – is needed to explore and address consumer attitudes and behavior nuances, which are often influenced by location and local culture. Only then will intelligent, data-driven marketing campaigns reach their full potential.

ADAR-mediated RNA editing in non-coding RNA sequences - Download this document for free, or read online. Document in PDF available to download.
Adenosine to inosine A-to-I RNA editing is the most abundant editing event in animals. It converts adenosine to inosine in double-stranded RNA regions through the action of the adenosine deaminase acting on RNA ADAR proteins. Editing of pre-mRNA coding regions can alter the protein codon and increase functional diversity. However, most of the A-to-I editing sites occur in the non-coding regions of pre-mRNA or mRNA and non-coding RNAs. Untranslated regions UTRs and introns are located in pre-mRNA non-coding regions, thus A-to-I editing can influence gene expression by nuclear retention, degradation, alternative splicing, and translation regulation. Non-coding RNAs such as microRNA miRNA, small interfering RNA siRNA and long non-coding RNA lncRNA are related to pre-mRNA splicing, translation, and gene regulation. A-to-I editing could therefore affect the stability, biogenesis, and target recognition of non-coding RNAs. Finally, it may influence the function of non-coding RNAs, resulting in regulation of gene expression. This review focuses on the function of ADAR-mediated RNA editing on mRNA non-coding regions UTRs and introns and non-coding RNAs miRNA, siRNA, and lncRNA.

Interview with Thomas Stierhoff - Ohio University 2nd Amendment Club
Thomas Stierhoff – Interview Transcript – 3.21.13
(The following is a transcription of the interview in its entirety. The interview was organized, conducted and recorded by Zach Nelson while speaking to Thomas Stierhoff on 3.21.2013)
Name: Thomas Stierhoff
Hometown: Bucyrus, Ohio
Occupation: Engineering Technology Management Major at Ohio University
Question 1 – What is your personal connection with firearms?
Thomas Stierhoff: "Honestly, it started when I was pretty young just because both my parents were cops. So by the time I was born, my mom was taking care of me and my dad would come home everyday and he would have a gun with him, so honestly it was pretty normal for me just to see a gun every day, like no big deal for me. I started shooting when I was pretty young, just a BB guns for the most part. My dad was very cautious as to exposure, so I didn't really shoot a whole bunch [of] –I don't want to say real guns—but I didn't even shoot a 22mm until I was in late elementary school maybe, and that was only with my dad. Safety was always the most important lesson instilled upon me at a really young age. Knowing that it's something that could be potentially dangerous if you do it irresponsibly."
Question 2 – Why do you choose to have firearms?
Thomas Stierhoff: "The interesting thing I find about firearms, like, ever since I was young I was fascinated by the science of it. I thought it was interesting. Like, a round of ammunition and just the energy, and if you do certain things to it correctly you can have a projectile travel a thousand feet per second, and you can still do that 100 times and have it still be accurate. I found that part fascinating and how it works: all the mechanical parts, and I am an engineer so I kind of like that stuff. After I joined the [Ohio University] 2nd Amendment Club, I started getting into the actual shooting parts of it, which – I was always shooting, but I never really did it correctly. So then, I started shooting correctly, and after a while, I kind of got into teaching other people how to shoot, which I found out I actually like doing that. It's always neat teaching other people new things and seeing them get better. After being an officer of the club I kind of started getting into the politics of it which I never really liked, but it's kind of interesting seeing how two people can see something happen and have two completely different opinions on what should be done."
Question 3 - What makes you most proud as a firearms owner?
Thomas Stierhoff: "I wouldn't say there is much of an aspect I take pride in as a firearms owner. I don't know, honestly, it isn't something I want to walk down the street and be like 'Hey look at me, I own a gun 'cause I am born and raised all American' or whatever. But if I can say there is anything I am proud of as an individual it can be that being a responsible firearms owner is something I can be proud about. As an American, it's something to be proud about just for that fact that not all countries give their citizens rights to own a firearm. We have a lot of freedoms we take for granted."
Question 4 – What is the hardest part about being a firearms owner for you personally?
Thomas Stierhoff: "I'd say the thing I am most concerned about as a firearms owner is discretion. I feel like that's a big part. It's not apparent, 'cause you know I am getting interviewed right now. But it is always a good idea that you don't want anyone to know that you own a gun, if you can help it, unless you trust them. I am doing this [interview] just because I am in the [2nd Amendment] Club. I feel like a lot of people, if they have no exposure, or have never shot a gun or might have had a bad experience…it's kind of easy to label. I guess a lot of irresponsible people kind of ruin it for a lot of us. My brother doesn't really actually believe in guns, which is interesting because both of my parents do. But my brother, he lives in Chicago, so you can blame the city. But it's interesting seeing how – he always says, like, 'I don't know why you go out with your redneck friends and you'll got shooting,' and I tell him it's what I enjoy. If I want to do it, why not?"
Q - You brought up the point about discretion and I have never heard anyone talk about this, can you elaborate?
Thomas Stierhoff: "Yeah. You could say that a lot of gun owners are misrepresented because a lot of people don't want anyone else to know that they have a gun. Like my father, he really keeps to himself. He told me a story randomly about how so-and-so from work were talking about guns. They had a similar interest as my dad. So I asked him, "What did he say when you told him you did this?" and he told me, "Oh, I didn't join the conversation because I don't want them to know." I feel like nothing good can come from other people knowing that you have guns. I don't know, one thing at college I am really concerned about is obviously being able keep guns away from people who shouldn't have access to them. I have a gun safe in my room; if I can't fit it in the safe I put a [trigger] lock on it. I will take out parts of it that will make it impossible to fire. The only people that do know it are my brother and my roommates, who I tell because I feel like the have a right to know. "
Question 5 – What do you do as an individual to make sure you are being a responsible gun owner?
Thomas Stierhoff: "I feel like one of the things that get a lot of people in trouble is always remembering how important a lot of these [safety] things are. The way I try to be reasonable and help teach other people in my club to be responsible gun owners, really as a large part, just know what you are talking about; having the knowledge to back up your standpoint, your beliefs. I feel like a lot of people might like to shoot guns or like certain aspects of guns, but if you ask 'Why do you believe that way?' they might have no reason, like, 'oh it's fun'. I feel like if you have a little knowledge as to why you do what you do, you might be able to have a better conversation with other people. You will always meet other people who don't have similar beliefs as you, and if you don't know what you are talking about, you will get run over."
Q – What are the irresponsible people doing to ruin firearm ownership for you?
Thomas Stierhoff: I feel like some people who do conduct themselves in an irresponsible manner – honestly, it always starts with some basic safety thing. You might go to a range and someone is doing something you know is wrong, [and] even if you ask them to stop but they still keep doing it, it shows disrespect to other people and it makes everybody look bad."
Question 6 - What do you wish was different about being a firearms owner? Looking towards the future what would you change?
Thomas Stierhoff: If I could change anything, other than the prices right now, I'd say it'd be nice if it was more common. Like right now usually when I talk to someone they're like, 'Oh you shoot guns? That's cool!' I don't know. I wouldn't say it's uncommon, but not maybe at my age group [is it] the most popular thing right now. I couldn't tell you why that is. If I could really change anything I would have gun safety in school, it's kind of off topic, but basic safety courses when you're younger, so it's not so foreign. Exposure. I feel like a lot of people are not exposed, so it's foreign, so they might just draw a conclusion without any knowledge and say, 'Oh I don't like that,' or 'that's bad.' I feel like some positive exposure [would do] a lot of people some good, 'cause not everybody is a gun nut. Just because I have a gun doesn't mean I am gonna shoot somebody, 'cause I am a pretty mellow guy."
Interview with Kaitlyn Cedoz - Ohio University 2nd Amendment Club
Kaitlyn Cedoz – Interview Transcript – 4.6.13
(The following is a transcription of the interview in its entirety. The interview was organized, conducted and recorded by Zach Nelson while speaking to Kaitlyn Cedoz on 4.6.2013)
Name: Kaitlyn Cedoz
Hometown: Toledo, Ohio
Occupation: Undergraduate student at Ohio University
Kaitlyn Cedoz: "My personal connection with firearms is that I think it's a huge equalizer. So I am really into handgun competitions. So you go out there with the boys and it doesn't matter if they're 6' 7" - you are equal, you have nothing against you, you are equally just as skilled if you work hard at it. No matter what: doesn't matter the size, how high they can jump, or anything; it's an equal platform for everyone. "
Q - What was your start? How did you get Involved?
Kaitlyn Cedoz: "While growing up my dad and my brothers would hunt, but I had always been separate and I never worried about it. And then I got to Ohio University, and for the most part the campus has very different views on stuff. So I got here and some random kid in a cowboy hat [Wes Gilkey] asked me to join this club. So I joined [Ohio University's] 2nd Amendment Club and started shooting and I fell in love with it immediately. I love the confidence it gave you, because you instantly have this power, you feel so safe and so protected once you get to fully use and understand and be safe with a firearm."
Kaitlyn Cedoz: "I choose to have firearms mostly for protection. You always feel safe with it 'cause I have used them many times, so I am not scared of them at all and I understand the power that they have. So they keep you safe if you know how to use them and use them properly and you are safe with them, then you are definitely protected by using them."
Kaitlyn Cedoz: "It's just the small group of people. You get to know them and everyone is so willing to help everybody, and you just really get into this little clique with everyone and you just feel so comfortable. There is always room for improvement so you never get bored with it and there is always somewhere to go with and become more and more comfortable with them."
Kaitlyn Cedoz: "Just the lack of education forums for the general public. People tend to fear the unknown, and I feel that firearms for the most part are very unknown to people, so they are just scared naturally. If there is one thing I can change about it, it would be the lack of exposure that everybody has. Because once you get out there and you shoot it and you understand it and you are the master of it and you don't let it master you, it's completely safe and completely comfortable."
Kaitlyn Cedoz: "I would say a huge thing with being safe with firearms is you have to be safe with them. You have to realize that it's a tool and you are the one with the power with it. And that it's just there to assist you if you need assistance or you need to be protected; and just keep them away from people who aren't exposed to them, who don't have the knowledge for them. You know how to master it, and if you know how, make sure you keep going out there and shooting and keep understanding and learning as you go."
Kaitlyn Cedoz: "If there is one thing I could change it's definitely if people haven't shot, then people aren't exposed to them, so they tend to be offended or upset with them. So if you just take people out there and get them to use them and experience what it is like to shoot a firearm and the purpose they're there and to educate people towards it, that would definitely be a great direction for firearms and that's the only thing I would change."
Q – As we have been sitting here talking about this is there anything else you would like to add about your personal connection with firearms?
Kaitlyn Cedoz: "I think firearms are excellent for women because anyone who goes out there, you might feel uncomfortable in certain situations and this keeps you safe. If you are living alone, I mean you hear so many horror stories of, like, girls in a house together. So it keeps everyone safe if you know how to use it properly. And that's [the] main thing, you have to shoot constantly and frequently so you know what you are doing and you don't make mistakes and you are trained properly."
Interview with Corey Bland - Ohio University 2nd Amendment Club
Corey Bland – Interview Transcript – 3.22.13
(The following is a transcription of the interview in its entirety. The interview was organized, conducted and recorded by Zach Nelson while speaking to Corey Blandon 3.22.2013)
Name: Corey Bland
Hometown: Cleveland, Ohio
Occupation: Reserve Deputy for Athens County Sheriff's Offices
Corey Bland: "The way I got started with firearms was basically just with friends, friends who taught me how to shoot. Eventually I took some Concealed and Carry classes, took some training and stuff like that. But originally just got into it with friends."
Q - How old were you when you got started?
Corey Bland: "Probably about 15."
Q - Was it hunting or target shooting?
Corey Bland: "Target shooting with shotguns was how I started out."
Corey Bland: "I have firearms obviously for my job; it's something we have to have. I also like to hunt and love to target shoot, I get a lot of fun out of recreational shooting. They're just great."
Corey Bland: "I take pride in being able to protect myself and my family. Shooting firearms is fun, but you still always have to think about having to protect yourself, and that's what they were originally built for. I just take pride in being able to protect the people I love."
Corey Bland: "I believe the hardest part about owning a firearm definitely is the stigma of it. A lot of people, you know, if you have a concealed and carry permit people will say, 'Oh you're paranoid. What do you need to carry that for?' Mostly that's just people who don't understand firearms and I think are actually afraid of them. I think people just need to learn more about them and they would be more accepting of firearms."
Corey Bland: "There are responsible people out there. The right steps need to be taken for firearm ownership. I think its definitely a fun hobby, I would like to see more people get into it and I would definitely be okay with more training too."
Corey Bland: "I would fully support having more background checks. I don't think certain weapons need to be banned, whatsoever. There are responsible people out there who could own any weapon. The first weapon I ever bought, I would have no problem with waiting longer to have a more extensive background check. So I definitely would support changing that in the firearm community."
Interview with Andrea Adams - Ohio University 2nd Amendment Club
Andrea Adams – Interview Transcript – 4.2.13
(The following is a transcription of the interview in its entirety. The interview was organized, conducted and recorded by Zach Nelson while speaking to Andrea Adams on 4.2.2013)
Name: Andrea Adams
Hometown: Nelsonville, Ohio
Occupation: Student in Civil Engineering at Ohio University
Question 1 - What is your personal connection with firearms? How were you introduced to them?
Andrea Adams: "With firearms, I started out with a family thing. My whole family hunts, they all target shoot and all that stuff. I started out at a young age of about three; I started with BB guns."
Q- You have been target shooting how long now?
Andrea Adams: "17 years. I have been shooting BB guns since then, just target in the yard, then moved from that to actual, like, pellet guns to 22mm-Rifles to trap shooting starting at about [age] 15."
Question 2 – Why do you choose to have firearms? Why is having a firearm an important factor in your life?
Andrea Adams: "I mean, shooting firearms in part of my heritage, so it's something that's really dear to me. It's something that I share with my family. Along with that, I find great enjoyment in shooting, like, it's a very good stress reliever. I deer hunt as well as shoot targets, so when it's in season it's cool to go out and shoot a deer and then bring it home. And we do eat our own deer; we don't just throw it away or anything, so we actually use that. We have a lot of Indian in us so it's kind of pulling that [aspect] in."
Question 3 – What makes you most proud as a firearms owner?
Andrea Adams: "Wow, that's a hard question. Probably when I see other people coming to it or see other people I have introduced to firearms and really enjoying it and breaking stigmas from them and, like, showing them how to do things properly. And that there is a lot of enjoyment to it and that it's not just something people just want to do versus…like it's kind of one of those things that after you get doing it you want to do and it's not always bad thing."
Q – Can you just say again what you take pride in, like the intro part, because you sort of rushed into it.
Andrea Adams: "I take a lot of pride in showing other people firearms and getting them interested in it, and I take a lot of pride in shooting well as well. Like, honing a skill, basically."
Question 4 – What is the hardest part about being a firearms owner? You had mentioned yourself that there is a stigma, so is there a stigma or negative association that you wish was different?
Andrea Adams: "There is definitely a stigma and there are definitely negative associations depending on who you are talking to. I think the hardest part about being a firearms owner is people - who don't have the knowledge and aren't there - that have this like, 'big redneck, you're just going out there shooting everything and tearing things up' and the media also portrays that as well. And you have all these people throwing out things like, 'It's a semi-automatic assault rifle.' Well, the shotgun I was using is a semi-automatic but it doesn't have the capacity that, you know, an AR-15 has. So I think just false information and people think they know what they're talking about or hear the things from media and just go crazy with them without realizing [that] what they mean is a big part of it. And the stigma - it's basically a stereotype, you know? You have to introduce people to it, and then make them realize that it is a stereotype and that it shouldn't exist."
Q- So how does that make you feel when you feel like you get pigeon holed?
Andrea Adams: "It really offends me and really upsets me when people are using things, like the 'semi-automatic' term for example, and are like 'all semi-automatic weapons should be banned.' It's like, whoa, whoa, whoa! Like, you clearly don't understand what the term semi-automatic means and it should be… you know, some people think that AR-15s should be banned but again referring back to my 12-gauge shotgun, it is a semi-automatic weapon, but it only holds 3 shells when it has a plug in it. So, it obviously does not have the same capacity. So it really upsets me and really offends me when [people] jump straight to conclusions. From being around this area I also still have the stigma of being the redneck person who is just going out shooting guns like crazy and that is just not me. I try to refrain from getting really upset about it, and talk to people and be like, 'Hey look, you know, this is what this is, and if you ever want to go shooting sometime…' You know just try to be informed and not just jump straight to conclusions."
Andre Adams: "To be a responsible gun owner, I think spreading knowledge is extremely important, trying to break that stigma, trying to get people more involved. And if they are not interested in being involved at all, [then] trying to make them realize that while they don't have to be involved (because that is a choice), but they shouldn't just jump to conclusions. If they don't want to be involved and they want to be an advocate against it, then they should have all their facts right. So just, you know, being a person that you can come to and talk to about it and if you have question[s], I will answer them honestly and then you can use that against me in the argument if you want, but that's how I feel."
Question 6 – What do you wish was different about being a firearms owner? Looking towards the future what would you change?
Andrea Adams: "That's a hard question because I don't feel like there's anything that I would personally change significantly other than maybe just having more of a positive light on it, like, having the situations where you have the school shootings that have been happening recently, not putting such a negative connotation on something that expands way past there to legitimate things. Like, there's a lot of people, not necessarily around here, that have scholarships from shooting, trap shooting and stuff, and there [are] a lot of legitimate sports that are involved. Shedding light on that and getting that out of like an underground culture would be something I would like to see happen."
Look Back - Exiled in Florence
Leather, leather and more leather. That's what you will find on display in all forms in Florence.
I am stuck in Florence, Italy. Some would say I have arrived, but to me I feel like I have been exiled here. It's not that this place devoid of historical and cultural significance. It is. It was the seat of the Medici clan. It's home to the Uffizi museum. Michelangelo's most famous sculpture of a naked boy, David is here. And the marble-encrusted cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore, completed in 1436 after 140 years of construction, still stands. But now Florence is also a place lousy with tourists and chain department stores offering what amounts to expensive crap you could buy in any other European city. This makes me feel like a grumpy cat. I contemplate why anyone would want to spend their money to be in this den of commercialism dressed up as historical and cultured. "Aha!" I exclaim to myself. "It's like Boston: people like the idea of it, but in actuality it just sort of blows." It's one of those cities with a rich history, but lacking in true, modern-day character when compared to New York, Rome or London. Florence just doesn't impose a feeling that people really live there. Rather, I get the impression, they're moving through it.
I am roused from this contemplation by the fact that I am wandering across the ever-popular and crowded Ponte Vecchio bridge. This is the famous span where shops sell all manner of jewelry and other forms of bling. This is the bridge so striking and iconic that the master of Evil and tragic facial hair, Adolf Hitler, decided not to bomb it.
I am trying to find a cobbler. I am excited to be shooting someone instead of something. I have been in Italy for a week and have only been snapping pictures of places, rather than telling stories of people. It's what my client wants, pictures of notable places, culture and food. "Make sure people are not identifiable," myself and my fellow photographers have been told. Womp, womp, I say.
I manage to extricate myself from the throngs pouring off the Ponte Vecchio and make my way down a less-traveled side street. I find my target, a small shop with large glass windows and a work bench facing the street. "Mannina" is emblazoned on the door in gold lettering in a classical sort of font that harkens back to the 1940's. I exhale deeply and wonder if these people are in fact expecting me, or, if I am walking into another "appointment" arranged by my client where no one has any idea who I am or what I am talking about. This wouldn't concern me if I spoke Italian, but I am terrible at learning languages, and now find myself trying to recall the Italian word for "shit." I can't think of it and conjure up the only profanity I do know, "stronzo." Yes, Italian for "asshole." This seems fitting for what I feel like at the moment.
I open the door and find a few people hard at work on making shoes. There is a middle-aged Asian woman and a classically Italian old man. This is Francisco Mannina, the fabled cobbler who has been making shoes here for almost 50 years. I introduce myself and explain that I am here on behalf of my client and that I was hoping to make some photographs. He listens, giving me an understanding look, smiles and nods thoughtfully, and then replies in Italian. I stammer that I know very little Italian, in Italian, an exercise in futility itself. He disappears and comes back with the Asian woman I had seen moments before. I explain myself and she informs me that Mr. Mannina doesn't speak English, but his young assistant does, and will act as translator as soon as he returns. A small victory for me, and therefore America, I think to myself.
A man in his twenties bustles in through the front door. He moves quickly to a workstation to grab his apron and is informed by Mr. Mannina why there is a strange and somber looking man-child in the corner armed with a camera. I smile like an idiot while this exchange goes down, trying to look friendly, but not too friendly. The assistant does in fact speak English! I go through the same song and dance once more about who and am and why I am here. He relays this back to Mr. Mannina, who agrees to let me shoot while he works.
Shooting craftsmen and artists is especially fun because it's very easy to show up and immediately fall into picture-making. They have things to do, you have things to photograph, and for me it's always a lot of fun to observe people as they ply their own trade.
Cobblers that will make one a a kind shoes from scratch can be found in tiny shops across Florence, crafting a pair of shoes just for you.
Mannina was indeed deserving of his mythical status as a man who can make a fine shoes for both men and the ladies. Each pair is built from the sole up, so no two pairs are truly alike. These shoes are made mostly with hand tools. The only electric-powered tool I saw Mannina use was a shoe buffer. I spent just a few hours watching Mannina and his assistant create shoes from raw materials, and I became transfixed. Just a short hundred years ago shoes were made by craftsmen just like this, but on a much larger scale. Our shoes were made with more elemental and tangible materials, crafted by skilled hands. The process seems so basic. Take this cow, tan its hide, use that skin to make these shoes.
As the day nears its end, the assistant tells me: "Mr. Mannina wants to know if you would like to get caffè with him before they begin work tomorrow morning." I was surprised and flattered that this man would want me to come have coffee with him, so I accepted and go on my merry way.
I enter a perfumery and am confronted by opulence and an oppressive smell of hundreds of different soaps and perfumes. It stings the nostrils and makes my eyes water. I am grateful that people are no longer allowed to smoke indoors and in restaurants in Italy, because I am fearful a loose spark or open flame will cause the place to explode like a car crash in a Michael Bay film.
I find the manager, Andre, and during the course of our odoriferous chit-chat, notice one unsettling detail: He smells very strongly of B.O. Either that or he has just crushed some amazing Mexican food. I decide my initial assessment of body odor is more plausible.
After a formal tour by my smelly companion, he says I am welcome to shoot my heart out. I begin to work an old room with patterned marble floors, walls with amazing stucco work and a high ceiling adorned with old frescoes illuminated by a crystal chandelier. Around the room are various stations, behind which tall Amazonian women loom, ready to show off fancy scented oils or soap. One woman is manning an impressive circular podium lined with large bottles of colorful, back-lit perfumes. As a photographer, I am naturally drawn to shiny things, so I don't really have a choice. I move closer and begin shooting this strange shrine to perfume with its solemn caretaker.
After working with a few customers, the lady of the many scents beckoned to me from behind her perfume-laden fortification. I assume she will ask me to stop photographing, thinking that I was a creepy and lonely man who roams perfumeries. Instead she asks me who I am working for. I explain that I am working for a travel guide and she seems hopeful. She is curious: do I know anyone in fashion in New York City? Could I make sure she was put into the publication? She seems to think she has discovered some well-connected photographer that will help her break into the modeling career she has always dreamed of. I consider knocking a bottle of perfume to the ground in order to create a distraction and make my escape.
Apparently my chat with Andre went well, for when I make to leave, he gives me a bar of soap made right there at ye olde perfumery. This is a thoughtful gift, but I find myself thinking, "does he think I smell worse than him?" I take my bar of soap and bid Andre and the perfume lady farewell.
That evening after some wining and dining with my associates we return to our rented apartment. We must prepare for the much-dreaded night shoot. It's not that I don't like shooting at night, but when you have been shooting all day and running around the city like your hair is on fire the last thing you want to do was carry around a tripod. The upside is that in Italy it's totally kosher to drink in public areas. This means you can walk into any corner pizzeria, buy a beer the size of your head, and then carry it around and imbibe as you prowl the streets with a tripod slung over your shoulder.
Florence at night is a much quieter and more lonely place. The rush of people and din of their talk is replaced by a dark and ominous calm that can make one feel uneasy after being up to your armpits in rolling waves of humanity.
We make our way across town, shooting the Ponte Vecchio Bridge, lit up and reflecting its visage across the river below. We travel down the main promenade, via dei Calzaiuoli, where shops are closed and caged up. Mannequins imprisoned behind their protective gates watch our procession with lifeless gazes as we march towards the Duomo Cathedral, our final destination of the evening.
The cathedral is the epicenter of Florence, and many of its main arteries flow towards this massive structure. It is a mammoth site to behold, and at night appears on a much more personal scale. The space around the cathedral is no longer crowded with passersby and tour groups, crashing against its exterior in an ebb and flow. There are only a few people who pass under its shadow while couples linger in its proximity. We work to set up shots that incorporate the whole building in a manner that conveys its massive size.
As we work, I notice an impending change in the weather. Like storm clouds signifying the deluge, umbrella merchants began to materialize. These men are migrant workers, living a world away from their own home countries. They come to Europe with aspirations of better wages and steady work. Many of them end up on the streets selling toys, knock-off purses and utilitarian objects like umbrellas and mini fans in highly touristed areas. I like to imagine that these umbrella merchants have some sort of union. Their leader, who has an old knee injury, feels a storm brewing when his joint begins to ache. He notifies his men, who fan out across the city and provide cover for those in need of this most useful of devices.
As predicted by the presence of these umbrella merchants the rain begins to fall, and people begin to approach, barter and buy. I decide I am in need of an umbrella and approach one man. He is running dangerously low on product. I ask "how much" and he tells me something that seems a little steep, I offer him a much lower number and he refuses. He offers a higher one and I refuse. It appears we are at an impasse. The main issue is I don't have many euros on me. I express this by pulling out the euro coins I have, showing him my small sum. He seems to understand and decides that my seven euros will suffice. He takes my coins, I thank him and deploy my defense against the rain.
As we pack up to leave I notice my umbrella salesman has managed to sell all of his umbrellas and is now umbrella-less. He walks into the dark downfall of the rain and, as he fades away, takes off his stylish leather jacket and props it above his head for cover. Here is a man in the shadows of opulence using his leather jacket to shield himself from the storm, not saving an umbrella for himself when there is money to be made. "It's a living." I think to myself.
Florence: where fashion and opulence are always at the forefront. A Mercedes Benz touring race makes a pit stop in front of the Pitti Pallace where onlookers ogle super cars and rare vintage cars cruising by on a tour through Europe.

Functions and mental representation: the theoretical role of representations and its real nature
Miguel Sebastián
Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences 16 (2):317-336 (2017)
Miguel Angel Sebastian
Representations are not only used in our folk-psychological explanations of behaviour, but are also fruitfully postulated, for example, in cognitive science. The mainstream view in cognitive science maintains that our mind is a representational system. This popular view requires an understanding of the nature of the entities they are postulating. Teleosemantic theories face this challenge, unpacking the normativity in the relation of representation by appealing to the teleological function of the representing state. It has been argued that, if intentionality is to be explained in teleological terms, then the function of a state cannot depend on its phylogenetical history, given the metaphysical possibility of a duplicate of an intentional being that lacks an evolutionary history. In this paper, I present a method to produce, according to our current knowledge in genetic engineering, human-like individuals who are not the product of natural selection in the required sense. This variation will be used to shed light on the main replies that have been offered in the literature to the Swampman thought experiment. I argue that these replies are not satisfactory: representations should better not depend on natural selection. I conclude that a non-etiological notion of function is to be preferred for characterizing the relation of representation.

The Spanish Berry
Life on the local-foreign divide
What is a TCK?
Fado in the castle courtyard
Posted on July 13, 2016 July 13, 2016 by SpanishBerry
The wonderful little town of Olivenza, located right on the Spanish/Portuguese border, is a singular place. Its past is speckled with nationality changes, as it has belonged to each country during different periods of history. It's currently Spanish, and has been for over 200 years, but the Portuguese culture is still very present in its local traditions and many of its older inhabitants still speak Oliventino, a local variation of Portuguese.
Even if I hadn't grown up there, I'd still recommend a visit. There are many aspects that make this town unique and I could write about every single one of them. I'll leave that for another post, though.
Last Saturday I spent the evening in the castle courtyard, listening to some wonderful Fado and learning more about the history of this traditional Portuguese music.
The event didn't start until 10:30 pm, and by that time the summer heat had faded slightly, making the open air concert an attractive option for the evening's entertainment. With the ancient XIV century walls as a backdrop, the Portuguese musicians took to the stage along with the translator. As we were introduced to the group and the night's programme, the audience fell quiet (it's really hard to get a group of Spaniards to remain silent for almost anything) in anticipation.
The first of the singers started by introducing us to the world of fado and its history. He told us briefly how this traditional music was created in the neighbourhoods of Lisbon. The songs, he explained, tell of daily events in the life of ordinary people, they spring from the many happy and sad moments in the life of individuals and communities, full of emotion, moving the soul.
He then passed the baton to the translator, who rather comically decided he wasn't really needed, and told the singer and the audience as much, slipping in and out of Portuguese and Spanish, moving easily between the two languages. He reckoned the Olivenza audience was familiar enough with Portuguese to follow along without his help. So from then on, he stepped off the stage and no one really complained.
From that moment the focus was on the music. The group illustrated the different types of fado, singing examples of each, accompanied by the Portuguese guitar and a classical guitar. Each song told a story and we listened intently, captivated by the sound. The two voices took it in turns to capture our attention and the notes picked on the guitars filled our ears with the traditional melodies.
Sometime later, as the evening came to a close, we left pleasantly surprised by the whole show. At 3 € per person, what more could you ask for on a July summer night?

Life as a Guiri
Trips from Seville
This week in Spain


Manimekalai is a Tamil Buddhist epic, generally dated around 5th Century CE. It follows the life of Manimekalai, who is the daughter of Madhavi from Silappathikaram (the premier epic in Tamil literature). Goddess Deeva Thilakai takes her to the Gomukhi pond on the auspicious day of Vaikasi Visakha (Buddha Poornima?). They pray to Buddha and go around the pond. Manimekalai is given the 'Amudha Surabhi' (never empty food bowl) which will satiate the hunger of all living beings.
In the Tamil verse, every line ends with 'Hallowed feet'. I have used it only once, to read easy in English. Na.Mu.Venkatasamy Naattar in his commentary helpfully says "Since Manimekalai was overcome with joy, she kept repeating hallowed feet in every line. We can take it at the end of her felicitations".
வாழ்த்த வயதில்லை வணங்குகிறேன் – 'I'm not old enough to praise you, so I worship you' is a cliched sentence in Tamil Nadu political oratory in the last decade. So when I found that this phrase had its origin in an epic written 1500 years ago, I was extremely pleased. One keeps finding such nuggets as one explores Tamil literature.

One confusion though is in North Indies, our Chithirai month is called Vaisakh. (Baisaki is celebrated around our 1st Chithirai in Bengal and Punjab). Their Chaithra month is our Panguni and on. What is this one month name shift, a bit unclear.

Q: How to access id from this httpresponse in angular to perform edit and delete actions based on id In the screenshot showing list of applications created
function to get list of apps -> ts file
 getcmsApps() {
    this.getCmsService.getApps().subscribe((res: any) => {
      this.data = res;
      console.log(res)
    })
  }
  editAppById(appid: string): void {

  }
  deleteAppId(appid: string){

  }

A: The response you get is an object array. So you can just loop trough the array and access the field by its key name

let AngularResponse = [
{
  createdon: "4/1/2022",
  division: "test",
  email: "aaaa@gmail.com",
  fax: "1",
  hrbinformation: "1",
  id: "d7ab1fc0-0e33-4fb7-ac71-1bf48ddd8bf8"
},
{
  createdon: "6/2/2022",
  division: "test",
  email: "bbbbbb@gmail.com",
  fax: "2",
  hrbinformation: "2",
  id: "a869fdd8-bf99-49d9-bb72-7bb11e6fadbf"
},
]

console.log(AngularResponse[0].id);

//OR to get all of them

AngularResponse.forEach(arrayItem => console.log(arrayItem.id))

A: Usually the httpService will return an Observable on which you can subscribe in the subscription part you can perform all sorts of operations based on the response you got.
I have to take a look at you code to give you further informations but what I can suggest to do is the following
request = // your http request observable from httpService
request.subscribe((response) => {
   // retrieve the id from the response object (as I can see in the
   // screenshot your response is an array so you will probably have to loop
   // through it)
});

Another option to consider would be to use RxJs operators to make operations on the response object (eventually using the tap operator) before the subscription part.

South Yorkshire MPs say Commons should vote on final version Theresa May's Brexit deal
Five South Yorkshire Labour MPs have joined a bid to give the Commons a chance to vote on the final version of Theresa May's Brexit deal.
By Rob Parsons
Wednesday, 4th September 2019, 12:49 pm
Barnsley MP Dan Jarvis
In total 17 MPs have backed the amendment to the bill which would make it illegal for Boris Johnson to take the UK out of the EU without a deal on 31 October.
The list includes Don Valley MP Caroline Flint, Rotherham's Sarah Champion, Barnsley MPs Dan Jarvis and Steph Peacock and Sir Kevin Barron, who is standing down as Rother Valley MP at the next election. All represent constituencies which voted in favour of leaving the EU at the 2016 referendum.
Tories would make big gains across the North of England in 'Brexit election', ne...
The Commons will today have the opportunity to pass legislation that would effectively take no-deal off the table after the Government lost a vote last night by a majority of 27.
If passed by the Commons and Lords it would force the PM to seek a three-month extension to the Brexit deadline or accept any other date offered by Brussels.
But the 17 MPs say voters will be left "banging their head against a brick wall" if Brexit is delayed any further.
They say the final version of Mrs May's deal - which was drawn up following lengthy negotiations with Labour - would have kept the UK in the EU customs union while guaranteeing workers' rights and environmental protections.
But explaining why it was never put to vote, they said Labour withdrew from talks held during the summer. They said: "We took a judgement call that some of the proposals that the Prime Minister put forward she would not be able to get through her own party."
"A further extension to the timetable to leave the EU will leave most of the country banging their head against a brick wall," they said.
"Most people are fed up of hearing about Brexit and just want the referendum result of 2016 to be honoured."
If MPs agree to give Commons time to the cross-party Bill on Wednesday the group will seek to amend it to require the publication of the version of the draft Brexit deal produced after weeks of talks between the Tories and Labour under Theresa May.
"These amendments allow colleagues to rally around the opportunity to push forward with cross-party agreement," the MPs said.
"We all recognise that British politics desperately needs to rediscover the importance of compromise."

It Is Love Not An Invasion, Stop Holding People Hostage


1. l'occitane's certified organic pure shea butter. i'm still a girl who is prone to stretch marks (thankfully none of you have to see the inside of my thighs) but somehow still not a single stretch mark on my growing belly and i credit this entirely to the shea butter which i like to use every day.
2. prenatal yoga. over the years i've become a big fan of yoga. i like to do it at my own pace, in my own home either early in the morning or right before bed. while my tummy likes to get in the way on occasion, nothing beats how i feel after i've done a little yoga, stretched my muscles and limbs and worked what's left of my core. sometimes i throw a little martha graham floor work in there, too. (i can't help it, i'm a dancer.) image via here.
4. i've noticed there is still an argument out there about drinking herbals teas while pregnant. i'm not a doctor so i'm not going to tell you what to do, but i've discussed this with mine and was given the ok to have a cup on occasion. sometimes i find it's the perfect way to end the night. tazo's wild sweet orange is my absolute favorite!
6. citrus. i simply cannot get enough. especially grapefruit. every morning. mid afternoon and evening, please. so good!
7. sabon's dead sea salt scrub. this is my beauty "splurge" product because i think it's expensive. but i keep it stocked in my bathroom because i swear it's full on magic.
8. burt's bees nourishing body oil. this oil is where it's at. it will help make #3 less painful. i also use it on my legs after i shave them twice a year (i kid. i kid. sort of.) and it always makes them smooth and soft, which helps me feel pretty and put together as i waddle down the hallway.
hope this list might help some of you pregnant ladies, too. also, what are your pregnancy lifesavers? have you discovered anything you're willing to let me in on?
I love preparing for things and I think I should start making lists for when I reach this time in my life so I don't freak out when it comes to my time. I will definitely want to do some prenatal yoga & use a ridicolous amount of shea butter!!
THose are the cutest socks! How fun with the cute little designs! And with all these lotions, scrubs, and oils, you have me wanting to go take a bath lol.
L'Occitane actually has a "Baby & Mama" line as well!
the tazo teas!! pregnant or not. =) they are perfect for bedtime, just like you said! best of luck with this little guy!!
by the way you just gave me hope that I may not get stretch marks on my belly when one day I am pregnant. I have inner thigh stretch marks and a few on my outer higher thingh. Maybe I should use that shea butter !
Yes! Grapefruit! I've been drinking grapefruit juice, and even made grapefruit popsicles…I seriously can't get enough of it during this pregnancy!
Ginger ale saved me during the first trimester. I am super prone to morning sickness except that it doesn't just take place during the morning. The other thing I swore by for stretch marks was this stuff that comes in a green tin can that farmers use on their cracked dry hands. It smells odd and practically ruins any clothing that touches it. But before bed my nighttime routine became brush teeth, wash face, slather on Bag Balm. I used it in high school on my hands because they always ripped from the parallel bars in gymnastics. Worth the odd smell. My husband was overseas during my pregnancy so I developed all sorts of tricks and habits that i'd probably be embarrassed to admit!
I love how you are so honest about certain details of life that happen to everybody but that we don't especially like to share. Life is beautiful and it's important to make every little thing count, but I find myself happily surprised and feel less alone when I take a leap and tell my girl friends about certain things that are less glimmering about my life.
Anyways, you are beautiful and a great humble role model for the young women out there, me included!
Totally! Raspberry leaf tea – I infused and added to everything. I'm not sure who says can't have herbal tea during pregnancy… All midwives I had raved about it, doctors never minded. It was my life saver. Raspberry beats all – i made it with lemon and stevia drops ( nu-native , the only one that does not have aftertaste), and added some mint leaves to it. CHilled and viola – best "lemonade" ever!
hot/warm baths at the end of the day – wouldn't be able to make it without them.
And hypnoBABIES ( not birthing) – their CDs and pregnancy affirmations that I turned on at night as I went to sleep were LIFESAVING and MAGICAL – I woke up refreshed, recharged and happy to sport a belly. Like i said – magic!
question: what is martha graham floor work exactly? I danced growing up and now teach pilates, yoga and barre….I'm so curioius????
I'm only 16, so I hope I won't get pregnant any time soon but I just wanted to tell you that this blog is perfect, I'm so in love with it. You guys are the cutest family I've ever seen :) I added you to my 'Daily reads'-list.
Love that salt scrub…it is definitely a little magic. My favorite (although I normally hate patchouli) is Patchouli Lavendar Vanilla. Have you tried Belli products? They are designed to be safe during pregnancy, and their lavendar belly oil was my must-have during pregnancy!!
Coconut oil conducts its own magic and leaves you smelling faintly delicious. If you need to lessen your herbal tea consumption but still want a soothing "cocktail" try heating a cup of water with mint, cucumber, and lime. Not a bad way to get a snack and your citrus fix! Best of luck and health to you and your impending kiddo!
I also loved Mama Bee Belly Butter. I used it every day, like you do with your shea butter, and no stretch marks on the belly. Also, ditto on the citrus. I drank hot lemon water during my pregnancy which, at the time, was delicious.
oooh i must try these now that i am pregnant! almost out of the first trimester! wahoo! thank you!!!
Those socks are SO adorable. And I'm not pregnant, but shea butter is a lifesaver for my sensitive skin.
Careful…I binge ate grapefruit and I'M CONVINCED it's what caused me to have an 11lb. baby. I'm a tiny person and I didn't have gestational diabetes, so it's the only thing I can think of!!!
my pants are held on with a ponytail holder today. i am not pregnant. the button broke and i was hellbent on wearing my khakis anyway.
im surprised by the comment from olya about raspberry leaf tea, that was the one specific one i thought you couldnt drink? it could induce. and hot baths? i thought that was also a no-no! hahah, so much info out there.
anyways, i love your list taza. will take note for the future!
I've been wanting to try that Tazo tea! My doctor said next time I go in to bring it so she can look at it. Like you, I wind down at night with my herbal teas (mostly Red Raspberry Leaf), and as a mom of almost four ;) I need that little amount of me time! I don't know why but I also love love LOVE the smell of Caress body wash, Tahitian Renewal, I always get it when I'm pregnant it's kind of a tradition, I find out I'm pregnant then go buy it. I don't use it except when I'm pregnant! Ha.
Can't wait to see your little boy! Are you really just barely wearing a hairtie with our pants?! Sheesh!
My must-have was taking a bath with a couple of drops of eucalyptus oil. Again, one of the things I had to get the okay on from the doctor, but it was a great pick me up!
I am obsessed with shea butter. I have completely replaced regular lotion with pure shea. I love it! I will definitely try out that burt's bees oil.
Not only I am eating mountains od=f grapefruit this time around but i also find the smell of The Body Shop's Grapefruit range a lifesaver! especially in those early morning sickness stages.
I used Sesame seed oil after each shower when I was pregnant. Not a one stretch mark… surprising… because too, my inner thighs look like a Zebra.
I'll have to try the shea butter next go round! Good tips, thanks for sharing!
Ah! You give me home for not having stretch marks! And Martha Graham floor work!? I love you even more!
you're so lucky that you don't have stretch marks!
Grapefruit has definitely been one of my staples… Yum. Wish I had some right now!
i like these suggestions just for everyday life!
I swear, everything from Sabon is full of magic. Every time I'm out in NYC, I have to stock up! Wish they had one in Minnesota!
dont eat too much grapefruit! i'm obsessed, but it can do funky things to your hormone levels. i'm not a doctor, either, but just wanted to shoot this bit if info to you.
Thanks for the tips! Lemon water for nausea and mama bee belly butter. Also, my sister in law swears by her chiropractor that works specifically with pregnant women. I never tried it, but it helped her back pain a ton!
Clarins Orchid Oil is THE BEST for stretch marks. L'Occitane's Mom & Baby Balm is also very good – but not as good as Orchid Oil.
I look forward to reading your blog every day!
my absolute saving grace has been my "moist-heat" heating pad that I sit against in the evenings for my sore back muscles. it's almost as good as a massage! you can buy them at medical supply stores.
sabon's salt scrub is one of my favorite splurges too! It is expensive, especially considering I have to order it from across the country since we don't have any of the stores in the NW. The apple lavender is my favorite scent. It's so refreshing and it does wonders for your skin!
They have a baby/mother line as well. I am curious to try it out one of these days!
Not fun or stylish but my pregnancy can not do without TUMS. Dang, why does this baby crave jalapenos all the time?
Where did you get the Burt's Bees Mama Bee body oil? With my last pregnancy I looked everywhere for it. (Apparently not on Amazon because I see it there now).
I ended up using L'Occitane's almond oil which worked like a charm, but it was fairly pricey and I'd love to try something a little more gentle on my budget.
your list just makes me want to go have a spa day.
i love using body scrub.
I am pregnant and have been using Bio-oil. I think it started in europe. It is PurCellin oil and somehow not greasy at all. I don't use it for massages, just rubbing it on my belly every morning and night. its easy on the skin and the nose! i think it soothes me to sleep. Its amazing for stretch marks. i haven't gotten one yet at 36 weeks. and a little bit goes a long way!
There's lots of places to get it too! esp online.
I used cocoa butter the first time I was pregnant and I got stretch marks, so I've been less concerned this go around about them! But it is smart to use extra moisture, so I should start!
Grapefruit has also been on my must have pregnancy list lately, before that it was Cuties.
My water bottle, otherwise I would not drink nearly enough water in a day!
Definitely using the L'Occitane shea butter, too – it's magical! I also love their Mom & Baby cream for really sensitive or itchy patches of skin, and I bathe with their shea butter extra gentle soap in lavender, which keeps my skin moisturized all day.
I'll have to pick up some of that Burt's Bees body oil – thanks for the tip!
I'm with Chaunceypants – all hail Tums! My other lifesavers include Motherlove Belly Salve, two extra down pillows for sleeping, Old Navy's stretchy layering camis, San Pellegrino limonata and lovely blogs like yours for keeping me inspired and entertained.
Burts Bees products are the greatest : ) Cute socks too!
grapefruit was my favorite thing when pregnant followed closely by l'occitaine's mother and baby body wash. it smells like heaven and is oh so gentle on stretched skin!
My mom had stretch marks, all my sister got stretch marks, and I got stretch marks from my teen growing spurt on my inner thighs. My dr. basically told me that I was guarunteed to get them when I got pregnant. But I figured that I may as well go down trying. I used Bio-oil every morning and Palmer's coconut butter every night from 6 weeks on. At 28 weeks my skin was starting to feel a little tight so I started to put Bio-oil on my tummy on my lunch break. In the end I went to 41 weeks, I gained 42 lbs total, I had an 8.2 lb baby and I got 0 stretch marks. Yay!
I used both the shea butter from The Body Shop and the stretch mark cream from Mama Mio in both pregnancies (34 weeks pregnant right now!) and highly recommend them both!
Great list Taza! All of these things feel so necessary! Im not craving the grapefruit yet but I should get some. How do you like to eat it?
my mom craved grapefruit all the time when she was pregnant with me!
I used that same shea butter nightly and did not get one stretch mark.
I will keep these in mind when I am pregnant!!
Ah loveeee Martha Graham floor work! And as a fellow dancer I get excited when you refer to your dance background in a post! Well wishes!
Shea butter is good for many pourposeS, not only to increase skin elasticity, but also to prevent and calm diaper rash. I love it !
I've been obsessed with citrus, too. There's usually a pile of clementine peels on my desk because i can't stop eating them.
I gained 17lbs the first time and had one tiny stretch mark during week 39. This time I gained 25lbs and 3 long marks appeared overnight when baby dropped at 36 weeks. I'm 40 weeks today and no amount of weleda's awesome belly oil could have withstood that sudden drop into position. I'm glad he went head down and engaged, though, because he was transverse and breech up til then. My mom has a ton of marks, so I count myself fortunate! Did the belly oil help? It helps with the itchiness thank goodness!
My lifesavers included a real massage every once in awhile (when my hips were spreading, it really helped to have someone who knew what they were doing work out those kinks), spending time in water to take the weight off my joints, and melon popsicles (I had gest diabetes so they were great for sweet cravings).
I really feel like post-pregnancy I really needed some tlc, too. I continued to use Shea butter on my tender belly (I didn't get stretch marks but the skin was sooo sensitive!)and I spent a little extra on bathroom goodies since the shower was my only real time to recharge.
Love your blog. How do you make the vision boards with all your favorite items. In other words what program do you use?
I just did a similar post on my blog about my 9 maternity must have's! I really want to try that Burt's Bee's Oil! I'm currently using Trader's Joe's oragnic Coconut Oil – it's AMAZING & Cheap!! It's used for food, but it does wonders in your hair and on your skin too!
l'occitane and sabon are the best things ever!
good tips! i'll have to keep these in mind for the future!
I, too, am re-pregnant and have a 14 month old (what? re-pregnant totally means pregnant again!) and I am IN LOVE with citrus. I've been making lemon ices with Simply Lemonade in my blender at least 3x/week.
What program do you use to make the "collages" for your posts?! They look so nice!
I'm not pregnant yet (hope that'll change soon), but I imagine that when I am, there will be much bribing with ice cream and Mexican coke around these parts!! ;) Best wishes to you!
l'occitane almond supple skin oil…LOVE! not greasy, absorbs quickly and smells delicious.
There's a debate over herbal tea during gestation? That is so weird…because herbal tea is technically a tisane, meaning everything in there you could eat anyway. I've never heard it, but I'm curious now, so I'll ask my ob/gyn. I've laid off the Crio Bru (it's even made in Orem, ha!) based on theobromine content, but that would be much more dubious than a tisane. I drink a lot of herbal tea when I'm feeling sick, and I love the Tazo teas for whenever, too. I'm a Passion-flavor girl, iced, with lots of honey or syrup. I need to try the Sweet Orange. Good reminder!
It's much more on the budget end than your maternity-clothes list brands, but I really love the Liz Lange items I find at Target. I have some pretty styling pieces and at those prices (especially when I get them on clearance), it's not a big deal to purchase them and only wear them for a few months at a time.

TORONTO, April 4, 2017 /CNW/ - It is with deep sadness that Aquila Resources Inc (TSX: AQA) announces the sudden passing of Cliff Nelson Jr., Vice President of US Operations, due to illness. Mr. Nelson is survived by his wife, parents, children and grandchildren.
