Amsterdam attracts over 13 million visitors a year to this compact capital city. While its charm and cultural heritage bring visitors to the city, the crowds can be quite overwhelming at times.
Here are our top tips for avoiding the crowds and making the most of your next visit. Be sure to use our guide to Amsterdam to plan your next vacation.
Some of Amsterdam's most popular attractions are beginning to offer advance purchase tickets to help stem the crowds. The Anne Frank Museum is the most popular destination in Amsterdam and for good cause.
It is a heart touching experience, but, without advance tickets, you can easily spend two to three house waiting in line for admission. Purchase your tickets up to two months in advance from the Anne Frank House website.
Advance tickets are also available for the Rijksmuseum or you may purchase a City Pass to skip the lines at both the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum.
The City Pass has the added bonus of an included canal cruise and airport train transfer to and from the city center.
Peak tourist season for Amsterdam occurs a few times per year. The busy summer months of July and August boast beautiful weather but the lack of locals during the August vacation season can affect the authentic feeling of your visit.
Winter is less crowded due to colder temperatures although between Christmas and New Year's the crowds tend to surge again. Finally, spring is a lovely time to visit Amsterdam although April will be quite crowded as the peak of tulip season hits along with Queen's Day at the end of the month.
Avoiding those prime tourist times when planning your visit will go a long way in making your Amsterdam trip less crowded.
When it comes to parks and markets, most visitor guides will direct tourist to Vondelpark and the busy Albert Cuyp Market.
To avoid the crowds, try instead one of the local favorites. Erasmuspark and Rembrandtpark in the West or Oosterpark in the East are lovely options that will give you space to enjoy your surroundings.
For markets without the oppressive crowds, try the Dapper Market or Ten Kate Market and enjoy shopping with the locals.
If you are in Amsterdam during tulip season, rather than visiting the overwhelmingly crowded and world-famous Keukenhof Gardens, try the Noordoostpolder instead.
This area is located just a short car or train ride from the Amsterdam city center. Here you can drive or better yet, rent a bicycle, and explore parts of this 100-kilometer route in the fresh air.
This route was named one of the most beautiful road trips in the world by National Geographic Magazine.
For a room overlooking a canal, a must in Amsterdam, look to the Jordaan neighborhood, located northwest of the Prinsengracht canal.
This area was a working-class neighborhood in the 1700s, with less grand homes than other canals such as the Herengracht.
Today, the neighborhood houses are home to many unique boutiques and a wide variety of ethnic restaurants.
It is centrally located to tram lines for easy access around the city without the tourist crowds. You will also be within an easy walk of the Anne Frank Museum.
At night you'll hear the haunting bells of Westerkerk Church, which are mentioned in Anne Frank's Diary.
While there is no way to completely avoid the crowds when visiting a city as popular as Amsterdam, these tips will help you enjoy your visit and reduce your time waiting in queues.
For even more privacy, avoid crowds at these three undiscovered locales.

VMware, EMC: Where Does Virtualization Go from Here?
The next chapter in VMware's history is about to begin.
With the departure of CEO and President Diane Greene, the question now is where VMware, which did more than any other company to bring x86 virtualization into the mainstream, will go from here as a company without the leader so closely associated with its success.
When the VMware board of directors announced Greene's departure July 8, speculation began almost immediately about whether it was VMware's falling stock price, the entrance of Microsoft and other vendors into a market where VMware had a stranglehold for a number of years, or a clash of personalities between Greene and EMC executives that led to her exit.
However, the real question for the company's customers is: Where will VMware and its technology go from here?
Greene was the public face of VMware, and her approach to the role of CEO, while understated compared with those of other chief executives, offered VMware what one analyst called a sense of credibility and belief in the company and its technology as its relationship with EMC loomed in the background.
Now, that credibility is being put to a test.
A number of analysts predict that VMware's products, technology and road maps will not change much in the coming months. However, Greene's departure could mean a change in VMware's relationship with parent company EMC.
When VMware announced its initial public offering in 2007, the company only offered about 10 percent of its stock to the public, while EMC, which bought VMware in 2004 for about $630 million, kept control of the company.
It was EMC CEO Joe Tucci, in his role as VMware board chairman, who announced that Greene had left, and it was believed that Greene was the main force keeping VMware from being absorbed into the EMC portfolio.
Now, with Greene gone, VMware could get pulled more into the EMC storage product portfolio, and this allows EMC to offer a number of features with its storage offerings that its competitors can't. This also provides a way for EMC to differentiate its products. These added features could include security, virtual storage, archiving, compliance and disaster recovery.
"What I expect to see is EMC-slash-VMware looking at ways VMware can differentially advantage EMC storage gear," said Gordon Haff of Illuminata. "That's not to say that VMware is going to yank NetApp from its list of certified storage vendors. What we may see is the conjunction between VMware and EMC hardware and software that offers products that you wouldn't see anywhere else."
What Haff and some other analysts agree on is that VMware and EMC are likely to concentrate their efforts on the enterprise and concede some of the midmarket and small and midsize business space to Microsoft and its Hyper-V product as well as Citrix Systems with its Xen-based virtualization.
John Humphreys, an analyst with IDC, said he is not convinced that EMC will absorb VMware as it has with other acquisitions. The success of VMware, Humphreys said, is the company's ability to work with a number of other OEMs such as Hewlett-Packard and Dell.
Humphreys said he sees VMware's continued success as separate from EMC.
The key to continued success is VMware driving innovations such as VMotion, which allows a user to move a virtual machine from one physical machine to another, he suggested. This will distance its management suite from what other companies such as Citrix and Microsoft can offer.
"They [VMware] have built their success on moving quickly, being aggressive and innovating with technology that [has a great] impact and directly solves business problems that the customers are facing today," Humphreys said. "They need to continue [to] out-innovate everyone else … What is the next VMotion that is going to make them stand apart from everyone else?"
Another possibility is that VMware could move deeper into cloud computing.
Paul Maritz, Greene's replacement, previously worked at Microsoft and then started a company called Pi that developed products for the cloud. Maritz was made president of the EMC Cloud Division after EMC bought Pi earlier in 2008.
Rachel Chalmers, an analyst with The 451 Group, said VMware plans to offer a new suite of cloud computing at the next VMworld Conference and that Maritz's expertise in this area could mean that EMC was looking for someone new to take VMware in a different direction.
There is also a chance that EMC could sell its stake in VMware in 2009 to another company or spin off the business as its own separate entity. While this possibility has been floated since VMware's IPO in August 2007, EMC has continued to deny that it will sell off its share of the company.

How do I convert a certificate between .pem format and .der/.crt/.cer format?
The following openssl commands can be used to convert a certificate in PEM (plain text) format to DER (binary) format, and vice-versa.
In some cases, the application using a binary DER certificate may require the file name to end in .crt or .cer. There is no difference in the internal format with any of these "types". Simply replace the extension of the file name used with the -out option accordingly.


Security fixes, reliability fixes, bugfixes, etc.
In addition to Windows 10 Workplace, innovations must be implemented faster, i.e. high-frequency configuration changes of the workstation become the rule.
How do you test today's workplaces with the Evergreen paradigm?
These QA tasks are met with automated test runs, which primarily verify the basic functionalities of the systems and standard applications. Ideally, company-specific specifications (policies, guidelines, etc.) are mapped via configuration. The test cases for your business applications can map a horizontal or vertical test depth according to your requirements - across the workflow.
With Keep IT Green as a complete TA suite, you have a fully comprehensive TA solution at your disposal that can be used quickly and efficiently with the "out-of-the-box" testsets.
Enterprises should continuously conduct comprehensive application testing with Windows as a Service and Office 365 in mind in order to assess the actual impact on the IT infrastructure and application landscape.
Whereas previous large Windows and workplace migration projects were preformed every few years, workplace QA has become a continuous process with Windows10 and the Evergreen paradigm.
Half-yearly updates and 18 months of support for Windows10 versions mean that different versions have to be maintained in test and production environments. The figure shows the central test areas that interact with each other and are relevant for validation. For this purpose, "permanent testing" needs to be established that must be defined in terms of technology and process.
However, keeping pace with the Evergreen paradigm requires a clearly defined process and deployment strategy. The process should be designed to enable the continuous availability of Windows10 versions across the organization.
Modern client workstations map business processes with office, collaboration and business applications in a complex infrastructure.
For the Workplace Manager, in addition to virtualization, backend services and corporate policies, agile IT processes are the cause of ever faster update cycles. Heterogeneous workplace variants (e.g. fat clients, VDI, App-V, XenDesktop, mobile devices) extend the challenge in the "Evergreen" age.

Anti-inflammatory properties of Asian fungus alleviates lung injury, mouse study reveals
By Millette Burgos contact
Related tags: Immune system, Inflammation
This was the first study to assess the anti-inflammatory properties of the fungus, according to researchers in Taiwan. ©iStock
The medicinal fungus Sanghuangporus sanghuang (S.sanghuang) helped reduce inflammation associated with acute lung injury in mice, a new study reports.
The research tested for the efficacy of mycelium extract of S.sanghuang (SS-1), which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, against the excessive inflammatory response associated with lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in mice.
"The experimental results showed that the administration of SS-1 could inhibit LPS-induced inflammation," researchers from the China Medical University in Taiwan wrote in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences.
This rare fungus is distributed throughout Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and China. It only grows on mulberry trees in the wild. To satisfy the demand, consumers have to rely on extensive artificial cultivation.
Prior to this study, no research had been done to investigate the anti-inflammatory and pharmacological properties of SS-1 in LPS-induced ALI, said the research team.
As preparation, 72 male mice were randomly divided into six groups. The control group was injected with sterile saline, and rest were given LPS to induce ALI.
One group received no treatment, another was given the anti-inflammation drug Dexamethasone , and the remaining three groups LPS with low, medium and high dosage of SS-1.
Researchers analysed the severity of each groups' lung injuries noting that the Dexamethasone mice showed the least injury.
Reduced cell infiltration
However, all three SS-1 mice groups had fewer injuries compared to the group which received no treatment. The highest dose SS-1 mice group had the least injuries.
"The three key factors in alleviating the inflammatory response include the reduction of immune cell infiltration, the inhibition of excessive inflammatory response, and the removal of immune cells that promote inflammatory response in the tissue," researchers said.
The study revealed that SS-1 was responsible for inhibiting myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity (plaque build-up in the lungs), and could regulate the TLR4/PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway, which is important for the cell cycle.
"Our experimental results showed that SS-1 exhibits good anti-inflammatory properties. Both in vitro and in vivo assays showed that SS-1 can regulate the expression levels of TLR4/PI3K/Akt/mTOR and IKK proteins, inhibit the activation and nuclear translocation of NF-B, and reduce the phosphorylation of proteins related to the MAPK pathway, thereby reducing the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and inflammatory substances from cells, improving inflammatory response," researchers concluded.
"Therefore, based on all experimental results, we propose that SS-1 exhibits a protective effect against LPS-induced ALI in mice. The mycelium of S. sanghuang can potentially be used for the treatment or prevention of inflammation-related diseases."

Main Science Cultivating Practice: A History of Agricultural Science in the Netherlands and its Colonies,..
Science Cultivating Practice is an institutional history of agricultural science in the Netherlands and its overseas territories. The focus of this study is the variety of views about a proper relationship between science and (agricultural) practice. Such views and plans materialised in the overall organisation of research and education. Moreover, the book provides case studies of genetics and plant breeding in the Netherlands, colonial rice breeding, and agricultural statistics. Ideas affected the organisation as much as the other way round. The net result was an institutional development in which the values of academic science were rated higher than the values of practice.
This book is a distinctive piece of work as it treats the dynamics of science in a European as well as in a colonial context. These different ecological and social environments lead to other forms of knowledge and experimentation as well as other ways of organising science.

Q: No data in tables when copying sqlite database to ios app I'm using core data and am pre-populating it using a SQlite database that I provide in the bundle. It's been working fine for a while, however I've just edited the database and when I copy it over there is no data displayed. So I opened the database that is on the ios simulator, in base, and I found an sqlitemaster table that contains lots of SQL statements such as CREATE TABLE..., but the tables I want don't contain any data.
What's weirder is that after a while the database is fine and all the data is in it as normal. Is this because the statements in the sqlitemaster table were executed?
Has this happened to anybody else? I don't know whether it's because I've upgraded to iOS 7 or not? If anybody could point me in the right direction that would be great

A: The latest iOS Core Data SQLite backend uses journaling. You should notice .shm and .wal files in the same directory as what you assumed was your main sqlite backing store for Core Data. This data eventually gets into the main file, but journaling optimizes some situations for Core Data configured with SQLite.
As a developer, you generally never care about this from within the app, but if you are trying to inspect the persisted Core Data graph via the actual file, you'll need to be aware.

A: I've had a look around and the journaling was causing it to go all weird. Found this post which shows the same problem I had. If anyone else has this look at that post

Hygiene products are provided by the facility. New Hope can accommodate up to 53 women and 12 children at any one time.
At the time of this writing, the seven alumni polled by Rehabs.com offered mostly positive reviews. C.G. gave the facility five stars for counseling options, as well as four stars for the amount of holistic offering and family participation. "This place really helped saved my life...I would recommend this program for young women when there in their early stages of addiction/alcoholism." Other alumni echoed this review, praising the facility's staff and the effectiveness of programming.
On Google, eight reviewers gave an average rating of 3.9 out of five stars. In one of the negative reviews, E.E. claimed that the facility did not live up to what was publicly promised. However, two five-star reviewers felt the the facility saved their lives.
At the time of this writing, there has been three friend or family members of clients polled by Rehabs.com. Both reviewers rated New Hope Manor highly and said they would be highly likely (five stars) to recommend the facility to others. They also gave four or five-star ratings for the amount of family participation and its ability to treat co-occurring disorders.
One loved one described the facility as "a long term complete care facility that gives those seeking treatment an opportunity to find their inner strength to resist the pull of addiction as well as a plan for employment and educational opportunities." However, one loved one was critical of the attitude of a front desk staff member.
At the time of this writing, there has been one former staff member polled by Rehabs.com. J.S. gave the facility five out of five stars when asked if leadership of the facility was willing to put clients' interests first and for the experience and credentials of the management team. She also gave a five-star rating for the facility's leadership and their ability to inspire loyalty and a sense of community among patients. "Excellent administration and excellent standard of care," J.S. wrote.
The New Hope Manor website states that housing at the facility is paid for through temporary assistance, social security Income, social security disability, or a sliding scale payment plan. Clients without health insurance must apply for Medicaid before entering the facility to ensure their medical expenses will be covered. Clients are encouraged to contact the facility directly for additional information regarding financing.
The facility could use some serious upgrades from the facility amenities to the staffing. The food at the location is not very nutritious and the way that the kitchen staff talks to the girls is rather demining, the staff talks very negatively of the women and tend to make sure that the clients know they are beneath the workers. While the treatment is sometimes effective I think it is lacking. There is too much self-reflection (quiet time) for the women, in the real world there is not that much quiet time or self-reflection time, I think there need to be more activities that prepare them for when they leave the facility to try and prepare them even better.
New Hope Manor is a VERY VERY LONG TERM REHAB. The program is set up around their approval of completing the 12 steps of N/A to move on to the 'next phase of their program', an unmanagability as a parent, if applicable, and any other essay of their choosing to be written and then approved at THEIR time and convenience. When I was there there were girls that had been there for four years, UP TO SIX YEARS b4 graduating the program. You are assigned a counselor that decides if your work of the steps, etc is satisfactory. I was confused but eager to start my recovery and I immediately did the work only to see it sit in the counselor's mail basket for a month and then one day it wasnt there, and it was returned unsatisfactory the very next day. I have worked the 12 step program with two separate sponsors and I have the OFFICIAL N/A Step working guide, and I was told by my sponsor of 13 years clean time that my First Step with the patterns of my addictive behavior and my understanding of my unmanagibility and my surrender was the most sincere she had ever read. I believe that counselor didn't even read my First Step. I had to wait an additional two weeks to speak to my couselor. This is a PROLONGED program with minimal individual time with your counselor, yet it is only your counselor that determines if you can move on in the program.
New Hope Manor saved my life. Very intense therapy & long-term is what I & most addicts need to truly change their unhealthy views towards themselves & life overall. Staff were caring & professional. They I owe my life to the program.
I called as a mother concerned. The young lady was extremely rude. First she told my daughter wasn't there. Then she asked me I was told she could not deny or confirm if she was there so I knew she was there. I said I wanted to send a Christmas present to my daughter she said I suggest you send it somewhere else. I was also going to donate things. She talked to me like I was dirt. There are ways of saying things and ways of not to say things. What a disgrace.
This program saved my life when they were in garrisonville, i think, ny. Never touched a drug after I left. They saved my life hope they can do the same for you.
Great program; great counselors, a lot of faith and programs. They teach how to live a sober life. Weaknesses possibly nurse level. This place really helped saved my life. It was a sacrifice I had to make in order to stay sober. God definitely had brought me here. I would recommend this program for young women when there in their early stages of addiction/alcoholism. I believe they will have a better chance.
When I was in treatment 16 years ago it was the best decision I have ever made. New Hope Manor changed my whole life. They treated me with respect. They treated me as if I mattered. I came to them angry, hurt, lost, bitter and pregnant... Words cannot say enough. I love this program.
During my employment at this facility, I was treated with kindness and respect. I was encouraged to support the clients and get to know them. i also had a good rapport with staff! I feel this is a fine facility!


Living in the Victorian manor like the Halliwells, it's good to have a handy man around the house. Especially when Leo Wyatt turns out to be a guardian angel for witches called whitelighter. He was constantly time-challenged as the Halliwells kept calling for him to heal one of their dying sisters. One just have to wonder how he managed to remain sane all this time, especially the pressure that is mounting on him as the time for The Charmed Ones and The Source to confront draws nearer. But when Leo falls in love with Piper, however, he has more than just household repairs and the confrontation to worry about, as whitelighters are prohibited from romancing with the witches they protect, and breaking the rules could mean drastic consequences.
In season 2, Leo had to clip his wings because he wanted a normal relationship with Piper. In the end, in order to save Piper, he regained his wings but they had to stop their budding romance. But in season 3, their love for each other finally came through and they were allowed marry, under the watchful eyes of Prue, Phoebe, Penny, Patty and Victor. Throughout the five seasons of "Charmed", Leo takes up the role of guiding the sisters towards their goal, seemly unconcerned of their matters but yet at the same time, teaching them all they need to know about the magical worlds that was beyond their comprehension. He is also the messenger between The Charmed Ones and The Elders or The Powers That Be, informing the girls of what their latest "mission" are all about and also information that is necessary in their vanquishing. His main powers include orbing, healing and sensing his charge, although it is highly possible that he has other powers.


After I made my fall garland I had some acorns left over and I had some empty space above my fire place so I made a cute little decorative mobile. It's super easy to make.
1. The first thing I did is wrap the gold wire around the branch. This is to add a little bit of color and at the same time, it allows to hang the mobile. See how I made one of the hoops a bit bigger?
2. After preparing the branch, I tied all the acorns together. Don't forget to glue the tops so the acorn doesn't fall off it's top!
3. Lastly, I tied the acorn string to the branch and added a few of the extra attached one (from the fall garland) to each side.

Being Patrick Kane's center is more like being Patrick Kane's second left wing.
Kane is unusual among wingers because of the way he dominates the puck. It's Kane who usually leads the breakout, Kane who usually carries the puck through the neutral zone, Kane who usually dictates entries and what happens once in the offensive zone.
That was just fine by Artem Anisimov, who spent two years as Kane's center. It freed Anisimov up to focus on his defensive responsibilities, and to go hard to the net and look for loose pucks to stuff in. That worked out great, as Kane had his two best seasons in the NHL and Anisimov potted 42 goals.
But now that Anisimov is back on a normal line, with more typical wingers, there has been something of a relearning curve. He's just starting to get the hang of this whole center thing again. After posting just one goal and one assist in the first 10 games, he has scored in three straight — one short-handed, one at even strength and one on the power play — while adding an assist.
"I feel much better because I have the puck more, and I make more plays and feel confident," Anisimov said.
He took a moment to think of the right word to describe his mental process over the first month of the season before settling on the perfect one: "reinforcement." He just had to remember how he played most of his career before landing in between Kane and Artemi Panarin, two gifted and unusually creative puck-handlers.
A rotating cast of wingers hasn't really helped. Anisimov has spent most of the season with veteran Patrick Sharp on his left wing but has cycled through a few right wings. The last three games, Sharp and Anisimov have played alongside rookie John Hayden, and the results have been promising.
The bruising Hayden is quite different than the shifty Kane, but Anisimov has been impressed.
Anisimov has been more aggressive lately, too. He fired nine shots on goal over the last two games — the same amount he had in the previous seven games.
Anisimov looked lost for much of the first month of the season — almost like a first-year player adjusting to an all-new system. Considering how different his role is without Kane and Panarin on his line, that's sort of what he is. But like so many other players adapting to a new role, it just took a little bit of time to figure it out.
NOTE: Defenseman Gustav Forsling will miss a second straight game Saturday in Minnesota with an apparent head injury, but he returned to practice Friday and could play Sunday against the Canadiens.

WOW- World Of Warcraft:
Blizzard Entertainment developed this game in 2004 as a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMOPRG). The Warcraft Fantasy world has expanded since its first launch, of which WOW is the fourth instalment. WOW takes on right after the events of Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, by twining perfectly with its conclusion.
With over a hundred million registered accounts, the game grew to become one of the most popular MMORPG game within ten years of its launch. By having grossed over $9 billion within 13 years of its launch, Warcraft has been declared as one of the highest-grossing gaming universes of all time. Team play was promoted the most in the previous versions of Warcraft where a solo game would have ended up in a disaster. Let us visit the World of Warcraft to have a closer look at the heroes and nemesis that occupy the deadly universe within.
The journey of the Warcraft World and Its Prospects.
The Horde of Thrall set foot on the lands of Durotar intending to settle by expanding its ranks. Every member of the undead Forsaken was invited to join the team of tauren, trolls, and orcs to form a strong wall. Stormwind, the human kingdom, guides the Alliance who have brought under their control all gnomes, night elves, and dwarves to stay forever loyal to the dynasty. Highlord Bolvar takes over the position as Regent when the king of Stormwind disappears.
The black dragon Onyxia controls the mind of Bolvar and manipulates him into toppling his position. Onyxia rules the empire in disguise of a noblewoman, which later is divulged to the heroes. As they decide to take on Onyxia, Horde and Alliance get on the verge of being endangered by the elemental lord Ragnaros. As Ragnaros comes out to set fire to the whole dynasty, the heroes of Alliance and Horde defeat Onyxia and put back Ragnaros into the Elemental Plane.
The trade show of ECTS that was held in September 2001 was the first platform where Blizzard announced the World of Warcraft. The open environment game where the players move around and do whatever they please was the perfect setting for this story. It took about 4-5 years for the development team in Blizzard to release the final version of the game. 3D graphics and every motion technique used in the game were highly advanced at that time, which gave the game a boost that was expected of.
What 2020 Has in Store…
The improvements made in the 8.2 Rise of Azshara have been carried on into the 8.3 update of Visions of N'Zoth. The video commentary will only look extremely exasperating to most players which is being worked upon to be minimized. Summer has been the typical season for WOW release, with the major update coming later at fall. With the summer release scheduled for Shadowlands, the update 9.1 will also be released without delay in the later months of the year.

Daniel Davis: US troops should stay out of Venezuela – military intervention would fail
By Daniel L. Davis | Fox News
Pompeo: The problems in Venezuela have been years in the making
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo responds to Rep. Omar claiming the U.S. is to blame for the turmoil in Venezuela on 'The Ingraham Angle.'
Disputed Venezuelan socialist President Nicolas Maduro appeared firmly in control of the nation Thursday, despite calls from opposition leader Juan Guaidó for a military uprising and a general strike to force Maduro from power.
Violence that erupted Tuesday and continued Wednesday – when thousands of Venezuelans took to the streets to demand that Maduro relinquish power and were met by security forces firing tear gas – largely ended Thursday, with relative calm restored in the nation's capital of Caracas.
The U.S. and over 50 other countries have recognized Guaidó as Venezuela's interim president and are calling on Maduro to step down. But with military and economic support from allies Russia and Cuba, Maduro shows no signs of giving up the presidency.
VENEZUELA'S GUAIDÓ CALLS FOR GENERAL STRIKE, BUT STREETS OF CARACAS REMAIN LARGELY CALM
What should the United States do now?
the last thing America should do is involve itself – especially militarily – in Venezuela's violent, chaotic political crisis and humanitarian disaster. Yet disturbing early signs from Washington indicate that's exactly what the Trump administration is threatening to do.
If we attempt to pick a winner in the political crisis now unfolding in Caracas, our chances of failure are so high as to be virtually guaranteed.
As a nation concerned with freedom, democracy, and the well-being of the Venezuelan people, the U.S. should studiously avoid getting sucked into yet another regime-change quagmire and above all keep American troops out of Venezuela.
Under both Republican and Democratic presidents, America's track record of trying to impose our will on the political systems of other countries over the past 60-plus years has been an unqualified, abysmal failure.
If we attempt to pick a winner in the political crisis now unfolding in Caracas, our chances of failure are so high as to be virtually guaranteed. A quick refresher on the U.S. history of trying to take sides when civil strife breaks out in other countries should temper our enthusiasm to deepen our involvement in Venezuela.
Here's a list of some of our failed interventions:
In 1953 in Iran, the CIA helped orchestrate a coup of the democratically elected leader of the nation and installed Mohammad Reza Pahlavi as the shah of Iran – the last king to rule the country. He proved to be incurably corrupt, and his oppression of the Iranian people laid the foundation for the rise of Ayatollah Ruholla Khomeini and a popular revolution that overthrew the shah in 1979. The clerical regime the rules the self-proclaimed Islamic Republic remains a menace in the Middle East to this day.
In 1963 in South Vietnam, senior U.S. officials helped support a coup of the democratically elected leader of the nation because we didn't like his policies. The coup was successful, yet the successor government was just as corrupt and contributed to that side's loss in the Vietnam War, unifying the country under the communist government that had previously ruled only North Vietnam.
In 1963 in Cuba, U.S. military and CIA personnel helped a group of Cuban exiles attempt a coup against communist leader Fidel Castro. The coup failed in the infamous Bay of Pigs invasion. Castro then successfully silenced all opposition and held onto unchecked power for the next four decades. His brother now rules.
In 2001 in Afghanistan, American militarily forces ousted the Taliban Islamist extremist regime and set up a new regime of our choosing. The new government has proven corrupt and remains incapable of effectively governing its people or defeating the Taliban insurgency. We've been fighting alongside our Afghan allies for 18 years, with no end in sight.
In 2003 in Iraq, the U.S. deposed dictator Saddam Hussein and began a long war. Iraq remains a volatile place today, more closely aligned with Iran than the U.S.
In 2011 in Libya, America facilitated the overthrow of brutal dictator Muammar Qaddafi. Libya remains in a civil war, with two governments claiming sovereignty. Violence, death and chaos define the nation's politics.
Can you detect a pattern here?
There's no reason to believe U.S. military intervention in Venezuela would fare any better than our past interventions since the 1950s.
Shortly after Guaidó's supporters began to protest Tuesday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweeted that the United States "fully supports" Guaidó's actions.
It's not clear if Pompeo meant the U.S. was prepared to provide military support – something that National Security Adviser John Bolton has previously hinted was possible.
Sending American troops into Venezuela would put us in dangerous territory. And if we take non-military actions against the Maduro regime we may be setting many Venezuelans up for tragedy.
Under no circumstances should President Trump listen to his more hawkish advisers and give any serious consideration to sending U.S. military personnel to fight for one side in a Venezuelan civil war. It is a losing proposition with virtually no chance of a positive outcome, either for Guaidó's supporters or for the American people.
And if the calls by the Trump administration officials are just messaging and they're not seriously considering military action, that is also dangerous and ill-advised.
In the aftermath of Operation Desert Storm in mid-1991, President George H.W. Bush strongly encouraged Shiite Muslims and Kurds to rise up and overthrow Saddam Hussein. Many Iraqis at the time believed that if they rose up, Bush would send in the U.S. military to support them. They were fatally mistaken.
I was part of U.S. Army forces in southern Iraq at the time. We watched in horror as Sunnis began to riot in the city of An-Nasiriya when Saddam Hussein's Republican Guard troops began slaughtering the people. We wanted badly to attack the Iraqi troops and defend the civilians, but President Bush did not allow the military to respond. He was rightly afraid of getting drawn into a protracted war.
If President Trump similarly does not intend to insert our troops into a Venezuelan civil war, he should make that clear. Otherwise, Guaidó and his supporters may believe U.S. forces are coming to take on Maduro militarily – and then be at risk of suffering a slaughter similar to the Shiites in Iraq rebelling against Saddam Hussein.
It is time for a hard-nosed, realistic view of a very bad set of circumstances in Venezuela. President Trump's actions have to be based on a rational, logical assessment of American interests and how they would be affected by the range of potential and likely outcomes.
In virtually no rational scenario can our country benefit by the employment of any lethal military power in Venezuela.
With no security concerns and no direct interests at stake, the best thing the United States can do for the people of Venezuela – and for Americans – is to forget about regime change, help relieve the humanitarian crisis, encourage all parties to resolve their disputes according to their own laws and constitution, and engage in regional diplomacy with other like-minded countries.
There is no "quick fix" for Venezuela's problems. Any use of the American military, regardless of how much it may satisfy a yearning to "do something," will turn a crisis into a tragedy and likely plunge the U.S. into another endless nation-building mistake.

Q: Smarty variable inside javascript I am really starting with Smarty and I do not understand this fact:
if I put the next code inside my template index.tpl
<script type="text/javascript">
  function toAlert() {
    alert('{$text}' );
  }
</script>

I can access to the function toAlert and show the content of Smarty variable {{$text}}, but if I put this code into a js file lije javascript.js and I try to access it by putting into de template the link:
I cannot access to the function as well.
Can anyone tell me why or help wher can I find this specific info? thank you!!

A: Smarty 2 requires escapement of the "{" and "}" characters, you can use {ldelim} and {redlim} to escape them individually or wrap entire blocks of text with {literal}{/literal}. It's usually cleaner to use {ldelim} and {rdelim} when there is embedded smarty tags, so example:
<script type="text/javascript">
  function toAlert() {ldelim}
    alert('{$text}' );
  {redlim}
</script>

Smarty 3 conveniently ignores "{" and "}" characters surrounded by white space, so your javascript example would work as-is.

A: You should put this code intp TPL file to make this work. Only TPL files are processed as Smarty files and you can use there Smarty variables.
Your code put should work out of the box in your index.tpl file but if it weren't try:
<script type="text/javascript">
{literal}
  function toAlert() {
    alert('{/literal}{$text}{literal}' );
  }
{/literal}
</script>

St. Helens School Board lifts controversial gun ban it implemented back in March
Updated: Jan. 10, 2019, 6:09 a.m. | Published: Oct. 26, 2013, 1:47 a.m.
St. Helens School District board member Ray Biggs helped repeal a gun ban on area schools.
By Shane Dixon Kavanaugh | The Oregonian
It's back to school for gun-toting teachers in St. Helens.
The district school board voted 4-1 Wednesday to lift a ban that had prohibited educators and staff from carrying firearms on school grounds.
Board members back in March had narrowly passed the controversial measure, forbidding employees, contractors and volunteers from packing heat on school property – even if the individual had a concealed handgun license.
Citing the Second Amendment, members opposed to the ban had said that the measure violated their oath of office to uphold the constitution – and vowed to repeal it.
On Wednesday they succeeded, thanks, in part, to a pair of pro-gun board members that had won an election back in May.
"I feel that our kids are more protected now," said board member Ray Biggs, who lead the repeal of the measure. "The NRA says the only way you can stop a bad person with a gun is a good person with a gun."

Movie Industry & Awards
How Movie Distribution Works
By: Jeff Tyson | Updated: Feb 17, 2021
The Art of the Deal
It has been said that making a movie is not nearly as difficult as getting it distributed. Because of the enormous amount of cost in money and time involved in distributing a movie, a distributor must feel confident that they can make a sufficient return on their investment. Having the backing of a major studio or a well known director or star can greatly improve the chances of securing a good distribution deal. Independent filmmakers often use film festivals as an opportunity to get the attention of distributors. Once a distributor is interested in a film, the two parties arrive at a distribution agreement based on one of two financial models:
In the leasing model, the distributor agrees to pay a fixed amount for the rights to distribute the film. If the distributor and the studio have a profit-sharing relationship, on the other hand, the distributor gets a percentage (typically anywhere from 10 to 50 percent) of the net profits made from the movie. Both models can be good or bad, depending on how well a movie does at the box office. The goal of both the studio and the distribution company is to predict which model will benefit them the most.
Most of the major studios have their own distribution companies. For example, Disney owns Buena Vista, a major distributor. The obvious advantages of this are that it is very simple to set up a distribution deal and the parent company doesn't have to share the profits with another company. The big problem is when an expensive movie is a flop -- there's no one else to share the costs. That's the main reason several studios have partnered on major movies in recent years. For example, "Star Wars: Episode One" was produced entirely by Lucasfilm but distributed by Fox.
The next big step occurs once the distribution company has rights to the film. Most distributors not only provide the movie to theaters, but obtain ancillary rights to distribute the movie on VHS, DVD, cable and network TV. Other rights can include soundtrack CDs, posters, games, toys and other merchandising.
When a distributor has leased a movie, they will try to determine the best strategy for opening the movie. Opening refers to the official debut of a movie. There are several factors to consider:
Obviously, a movie that has everything -- major studio backing, big stars and a great story -- is probably going to open big and do very well. If it has big stars but doesn't appear to have legs (meaning that it will not stay popular for long), the distributor may opt to put the movie in as many theaters as possible during its first engagement. Fewer theaters will be interested in a movie with an unknown cast or poor buzz (unofficial information about the movie). Sometimes a movie has gotten good buzz, but isn't likely to have mass appeal because of the audience it is directed at. It might also be the wrong time of year for a particular type of movie. For example, a heartwarming Christmas story is not likely to do well opening on Memorial Day weekend.
All of these factors help the distributor determine the number of prints to make. Each print typically costs about $1,500 to $2,000 to make, so the distributor must consider the number of theaters a movie can successfully open in. Many of the 37,000 screens in the United States are concentrated in urban areas. A popular movie might fill the seats in several theaters in the same city while another movie would have a much smaller audience. Since opening a movie on 3,000 screens could cost $6 million for the prints alone, the distributor must be sure that the movie can draw enough people to make the costs worthwhile.
Most theaters use buyers to represent them in negotiating with the distribution companies. Large chains such as AMC Theatres or United Artists employ buyers while small chains and independent theaters contract with a buyer. The negotiating process is very political. The buyers often will accept a movie that the theater is not very interested in to make sure they get a film they really want. Distributors try to balance the movies they lease to theaters in the same local area to make sure all of the theaters will continue to work with them. Sometimes a theater will get an exclusive or special engagement to premiere a movie in its area. Once a buyer is interested in a movie, the lease terms are discussed.

Hello and welcome to this little video which will quickly guide you through setting up your first blog step-by-step. So, follow along with me and lets get straight into our proven and easy 3 step WTC Process that will get your business started online.
Step 1: Picking out and registering your website address. (This is also known as your domain name).
Step 2: Getting started with WordPress and publishing your first ever blog or website.
Step 3: Getting your blog or website online with a theme so it can immediately be viewed by visitors on the Internet.
Plus we'll give you the secret sauce we use to drive quality visitors back to your blog with our 3 favorite tools. These tools will help grow your fans and your online presence. They'll make sure your visitors can easily share your content. And they'll provide an effective way to grow your subscribers list, which once set up, works for you 24.7! I'll also guide you on adding your very first post to your blog!
Did you know that some of the biggest companies in the world use WordPress for their websites and some of the most famous people use it to run their own blogs? People like JAY Z, Katy Perry, and companies like Forbes, The New York Times, SONY are all using WordPress. That's because WordPress is so easy to use anyone can create a blog, grow it, and in time gain thousands of fans! To give you an idea of what you can create in the next few minutes this is the blog we'll be putting together! It's clean, fresh and really easy to work with and add your content to in just a few clicks!
1. How do I get started online on a super limited budget?
2. How can I create my own blog when I have no technical knowledge?
Because let's face it. If you've never built a blog before, it can be really overwhelming. But, honestly, here's a little inside secret. It's super simple to get started. You don't need a lot of money or even a lot of time to get started. In fact, this is based off our proven 3 step WTC system. You're going to love it!
Head to HostGator.com. This is the hosting service we have used for years because they are so reliable, their customer service is great, and we have never had any problems!
All you do is click on "Get Started Now." Then Choose a Plan, and choose the Hatchling Plan which is ideal to use for a blog. Now choose how how you'd like to pay either month to month or for a whole year. I'm going to choose monthly for this example. As you can see it is cheaper to do it for a year, or for 3 years, so keep that in mind.
This is where you choose your domain name, which is your website address. For example, ours is WebsitesMadeEasy.tv. So take your time to think about this. It's important to get it right. I would also recommend not using any dashes in your domain name because this interferes with SEO.
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. I have made a whole video about this topic, so be sure to check that out here!
If the name you want isn't available play around with it, you can also change it from .com to .gov or whatever you'd like, for example ours is .tv because we thought it was appropriate for our website. If you're having trouble figuring out a strong domain name, check out our Top 10 Tips On Choosing The Right Domain Name For Your Business, here!
Now scroll down and choose a username and enter a security pin.
Now all you do is just put in your payment details. I'll do this in a moment. Make sure you use an email address you have access to because HostGator will send an email which you need for step 2!
Next scroll down and you'll see the cost is still quite a bit. But, don't worry though because now we will bring it right down! Scroll up to these extras which we don't need right now and deselect them. Now for the coupon code enter "launchmyblog" and validate it and the cost should have come right down!
Check that you're happy with everything and click Checkout Now!
Congratulations! You're now the proud owner of a website domain name! You've completed step 1, and you're well on your way to having a live blog!
Step 2 is super easy. You should have received an email from Hostgator and inside is your username and password along with a link to your C Panel. Make a note of your username and password and click on the C Panel link. Now enter your details and sign in. This page is the control panel for your website and there are lots of different things here. Don't worry! We are only here for 1 thing!
Scroll down and find Quick Install under Software and Services. Click on Quick Install. Now find WordPress under popular Installs on the left and you just need to fill in the email address of whoever will be maintaining your blog. So if that is you, enter your email address, choose a title for your blog, a username, and your first and last name. Then just click on Install WordPress!
WordPress is installed in seconds! This has now your Installed WordPress onto your domain name, and your website login details have been emailed to you along with a link which takes you to your website login. Think of this like the backdoor into your website, which allows you to customize exactly how it looks and functions.
So, now head over to your emails and find the link and your username and password. Make a note of them and click on this link and you'll be at the login page for your website.
Now all you do is type in your details, and you're in! Congratulations! You've now set up your website and it's live on the internet! This is your Dashboard where you can customize your blog. You have a toolbar on the left with lots of different options such as Posts, Pages, Comments, Appearance and Plugins, as well as Settings, which has the general settings for your blog.
Lets check out how our fresh new website looks right now after installing it. To get there quickly from the dashboard, hover over your name and then click View Website.
This is how your WordPress website looks straight out of the box! We're going to transform this in the next step, step 3, where we are going to be installing a brand new theme which makes blogging a breeze, and looks fantastic, so lets go do that now! To get back to the dashboard scroll up and click to return to the Dashboard.
In Settings and General you have site title and tagline which explains briefly what your blog is about. In the Reading section, you can change what your front page displays: Either your latest posts or a static page. You want your latest posts to be displayed because we are making a blog, so your fresh content is always on top and ready for your viewers to see!
Installing a theme is super easy! Like everything on WordPress, you don't need to know any kind of programming or anything like that. You don't even need to know how to design or draw anything because everything is done for you! Even creating artwork for your posts is straight forward and FREE to do with a nifty little tool! Trust me, you don't want to miss out on that, it's a complete game changer!
You always want to make sure your WordPress blog is responsive. This means it can work on mobiles, iPads, Desktops, anywhere! This is extremely important because if your visitors using their phones can't get your website to work, they just won't bother. They will go somewhere else and more and more people are using their phones to browse blogs. So, make sure that it is responsive!
The theme we are about to install is completely responsive so it will work on everything! So, to install your new theme, find Appearance and then Themes. Then click on Add New Theme. Now search for Omega. Installing is a simple 2 click process. Click Install and Activate and you're done!
Lets now see how our fresh new blog is looking with this new theme! Again scroll up and click to go to your blog. This is looking much better! And we haven't even added any content yet. This is the structure of your website. From here you can fully customize how it looks and functions. This leads us to our next step! So head back to your dashboard and I'll show you how to add your first post and some awesome plugins to take your blog to the next level!
Plugins are little bits of code that you can add onto your blog to enhance it's functionality. It could be a contact form, a photo gallery, SEO, Google Analytics, or a super easy way for your visitors to share your content by just clicking a button! I'll introduce you to a couple of these that you need to start using with your blog. You can always find videos that guide you through every plugin we recommend on our website!
To add a post, go to Posts and Add New. This, then, brings up a few fields for you to fill in such as a title for your post and the main body of the post. You've also got categories and it's a good idea to add some categories and then add your different posts to the correct category so your visitors can then find more of the same thing if they want to.
To add an image, all you do is click on Add Media and select the image you want to use. Then click on insert into post. Easy!
Your image is then placed into the content area. To add a video is also very easy. Just copy the video embed code, for example, from YouTube (You'll find that underneath the video.) And then paste it into the content area. Then all you do is add a cover photo to your post by scrolling down to Featured Image, selecting the image you'd like to use, and adding it.
You're all done and your post is now ready to go live on your blog! So, now click on Publish to post it to your blog and we'll see how that looks.
This is looking awesome! How easy was that to add a post?
Now that you know how to add a post, lets talk about how to add plugins to customize your blog even further. As I mentioned earlier, plugins are bits of code which add functionality to your site such as contact forms, for example, or social media buttons, which allow visitors to share your content quickly and easily.
Lets add some of these buttons now! This is so important to do. Allowing your visitors to easily share your content to their Facebook or Twitter will get you and your blog even more visitors. This Word of mouth marketing is one of the best ways to gain more subscribers!
To Install a plugin, go to Plugins and Add New. The first plugin we'll install is called WP Socializer. So search for that and click Install, then Activate.
WP Socializer adds social bookmarking and sharing buttons to your posts. So if we take a look at our blog, we now have some nice looking share buttons below the post which visitors can click in order to share your content easily! To customize these buttons, you'll find the WP Socializer icon on the left. Here you can create your own buttons if you want or just use the default buttons which come with the plugin. These are the ones we just saw under our post. If you click on Edit Templates and scroll down, you can choose where you want the buttons to be placed (either above or below your posts) and if you want them to show for individual posts or for pages. Then click Update and you're done!
The next Plugin we recommend you start using is Yoast WordPress SEO. This plugin enables your content to show up higher in search results such as in Google and gives you a preview of how your posts will look in search results. Let's install it! I'll show you some ways it can benefit your blog. So, go to Plugins and Add New. Then search for Yoast SEO then Install and Activate it.
Yoast SEO is used by millions for Search Engine Optimization. You'll see the SEO icon on your toolbar. You also have additional menus if you scroll over it. General has a quick tour of the plugin, and options for your information such as the website name. This is definitely good to fill out. The more you can tell the plugin and fill in, the better it will rank in Google's search results!
So, use keywords, tags and meta descriptions when you can. Now click on the Titles and Metas section and click on Homepage. Here, fill out the title of your blog. Then add a description here which tells people what they can expect to see. This is the writing you see underneath search results. You can enter keywords which relate to your blog. So, if you have a blog about gadgets, for example, you could enter Gadgets, Apple, iPhone, Smartphone, Watch and so on. Make sure to save changes!
Next, click on Post Types. These are the templates for each post and page. You can leave this as default.
Now click on the Social section. Here you can enter your social media URLs which tells Google about your social profiles.
When you create a post, you also have options to fill out for that post. It gives you a preview of how your post will look in search results. So, you can customize it until you're happy!
I mentioned earlier about a plugin that would be a game changer for your blog, I'm going to tell you about that in a moment. I'll also let you know about another absolutely brilliant service that will really help you and your blog grow!
The first is a plugin called SumoMe Listbuilder. It works for you 24.7 once it is set up and is very flexible and really easy to use. It can double your subscriber list easily!
The other service is called Canva which is a fantastic website to design all kinds of media from Facebook posts, Instagram images, infographics, letters and everything you can imagine!
Both of these are easy to use and invaluable for you to grow your blog and online presence. They are both too long to go into for this video so I've linked them both here for you! SumoMe Listbuilder and Canva.
I hope you enjoyed watching and can now build up your blog and confidently add posts and grow your followers.
If you'd like more in-depth videos about blogging, we have you covered!
If you found this video helpful, please quickly give it a like and share it with friends. If you have any questions please leave us a comment! SumoMe Listbuilder and Canva are coming up next, see you in the next video!
I followed your tutorial and it is very helpful. I am actually starting my own blog. I bought a domain name from hostgator and verified my payment, but I couldn't be able to open my cPanel. When I try to open the link, it says "we can't reach this page". what do you think is the problem? do you I need some kind of software in my computer?

The MVC sample (see [`Sp.Samples.Agent.Mvc`](https://github.com/SoftwarePotential/samples/tree/master/Sp.Samples.Agent.Mvc)) illustrates key aspects of licensing an ASP .NET MVC 3 web application.

## What the sample is intended to demonstrate
* `Sp.Agent` configuration using the Software Potential NuGet packages
* declarative licensing / protection of functionality via attributes
* handling online activation (accepting/validating a key and using that to install a license)
* showing a list of installed licenses and their status
* using WebDeploy / Visual Studio's Publish Web dialog to deploy your licensed solution correctly

## Prerequisites
* .NET 4.0 or later
* Visual Studio 2010 or later
* [NuGet Package Manager](http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/27077b70-9dad-4c64-adcf-c7cf6bc9970c) 2.5 or later
* A working [Microsoft Web Deploy](http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/web-deploy) installation (if you want to test the deployment facility)

## Configuring The Sample
### Create the product

* Navigate to the [Software Potential service product page](https://srv.softwarepotential.com/Products.aspx)
* Create a product entitled `Demo` with version `1.0` (case-sensitive) in a non-production account
  * Add two Features (`Feature1`,`Feature2`)

### Install the NuGet packages
* Add the SoftwarePotential NuGet feed (`https://srv.softwarepotential.com/NuGet/nuget/`) in your Package Manager settings
* Add the following package references:
 * `SoftwarePotential.Protection-<PermutationShortCode>`
 * `SoftwarePotential.Configuration.Web-<PermutationShortCode>`
 * `SoftwarePotential.Licensing-Demo_10`

## Building and running the sample
The sample can be built using Visual Studio and can be hosted either in IIS, or in the built-in VS development server.

## Deploying to IIS
The application is intended to be deployed to an IIS Web Server using WebDeploy. The simplest way to do that is to use Publish Web wizard in Visual Studio.

**NB the application stores licenses under `<application base directory>\App_Data\Licenses`. When (re)deploying, it is critical to ensure that the publish process does not delete any licenses that users may have activated**. To do this:
* In Visual Studio 2010: Ensure the *`Leave extra files on destination (do not delete)`* option (in Publish Web dialog) is **checked**
* In Visual Studio 2012 or 2013: Ensure the *`Remove additional files at destination`* option (in Publish Web dialog) is **_un_checked**

There are so many things out there to worry about. We are constantly bombarded with this and that will harm, cause cancer, or cause ABC problem for our family or kids. This is not a fear based post. I just want to communicate my heart for switching to safer cleaners, laundry detergent, and beauty products. I started sweeping my home of toxins almost 2 years ago. I decided to do this because of the health problems I was facing (which you can read about here and here). I always recommend starting slowly with one or two items at a time. I always get questions from friends and family who are looking to switch to safer products and get rid of toxic products in their homes. I hope this post helps you, but please know these are my opinions. I would love to know what works for you! I will even include one of my favorite DIY recipes for you to make your own foaming hand soap at home!
1. Laundry detergent was one of the first things I switched in my home. I made my own for a while, but I slowly realized it was not getting my laundry as clean as I would like and it seemed really rough on our clothes. I read more and most of the ingredients in homemade detergent are laundry boosters, and there wasn't enough soap to actually get my clothes clean. For laundry, I use Kirkland's Environmentally Responsible Laundry detergent from Costco. I think it is one of the cheaper and most effective detergents out there that is plant based and not full of toxins. It also smells really good. I ditched the dryer sheets and I use wool dryer balls and drop 2-3 drops of essential oil on them for fabric softener. I only add new drops of oil every 3-4 loads.
2. For dish soap, I use Seventh Generation and I think a little goes a really long way. It is more expensive than other dish soaps, but I feel like you don't have to use as much at all. I have used the same bottle for about 6 months–and I wash bottles and pots and pans with it every day.
3. I used to buy really expensive hand soaps that were wonderfully scented, but full of yucky stuff I couldn't pronounce. Now, for hand soap, I make my own in a foaming soap dispenser (you can buy empty ones on Amazon, or just use the ones you have leftover, which is what I usually do!). Recipe is at the bottom of this post! Try it and let me know how it works for you!
4. For make-up, Target has a whole section of natural/plant based products. I have just ordered the new Young Living Sweet Savvy Mineral Makeup! I can't wait to do a demo for you all and show you how it works! I usually get my mascara from Vitacost–they have mineral based mascara and it tends to be super cheap and works great! But, Young Living also just released their mascara and as soon as it is back in stock, I will be sure to demo that for you, too! Beauty products seem like no big deal, but our skin really is our biggest organ. I switched to all Young Living lotions, soaps and I even use their shampoo and conditioner. I make my own lip balm and put them in containers (I give the extras away or add them to gifts!). I am on Essential Rewards with Young Living, so I get my monthly wellness box every month full of things like toothpaste, floss, mouthwash, soap and shampoo. I get points back every month for free products, too!
5. I used to make my own deodorant, but I just don't think I could get the right proportion of ingredients for maximum effectiveness. So I began trying every natural deodorant under the sun! After many rounds of trial and odor (HA! but for real!), I finally found what works for me and the Engineer. We use a brand called Schmidt's. It works, it doesn't have aluminum or ingredients you can't pronounce, and they have a variety of scents and unscented (which is my favorite) and sensitive skin, too. I usually put a drop of lavender essential oil on my arm pits, and then apply deodorant. Lavender helps the sensitive under arm skin feel smooth and happy!
There are many other ideas on switching to safer products that I will include in my toxin-free family series. I love sharing the products I use and how they work for me! Let me know what works for you in the comments below!
I also order monthly from Grove Collaborative! I am a VIP, so I always get free shipping and tons of free goodies! It is a great way to get your essentials shipped to your home without having to go to the store! And with 2 littles, I need all the help I can get! Here's my referral link: https://www.grove.co/referrer/566274/ We both get $10 if you click my link!
Put in a foaming pump dispenser and it should last 4-6 weeks!


2. For what reason is Delta implementing the new regulations?
3. a) Describe the new rules.
b) What two different types of animals are currently permitted on flights?
4. What problem has arisen by allowing service animals in the cabin during flights?
5. "Animal incidents" have increased by 86% since 2016, Delta reports. List the types of incidents that have occurred.
6. It appears that the problem is not with service animals but with emotional-support animals.
a) What do you think is the best way for airlines to protect their passengers from untrained animals? Explain your answer.
b) What, if any, limitations should be placed on travelers taking their emotional-support animals on a flight with them, as opposed to these animals being transported the same way other travelers pets are transported?


An Underwater Maternity Photo Shoot is an exciting and new way to show off your baby bump. You can float freely in the warm water and get into positions that would be impossible on land. The photos from the shoot will be a special artistic record of this important time in your life.
The best time during your pregnancy to attend an underwater maternity shoot is 26-34 weeks when your tummy is nice and round. Ideally your tummy should be big enough to make an impact in the pictures but not so big that you are uncomfortable or at risk of a water birth in the pool!
Some props and costumes are provided, as well as chiffon in various colours to drape around yourself.
We have underwater backgrounds in black and blue to achieve different looks in the photographs.
For the best results you should be confident in water and be a good swimmer. You should also practice before the photo shoot as you will be more buoyant in the water than before you were pregnant. Practice your facial expressions underwater and practice opening your eyes too.
A professional make-up artist can be arranged at an additional cost.
