Anger is one of the most common emotions that anyone could feel. However, too much of it can be extremely destructive. This is why it is important for you to get it under control especially if you are the parent.
This being said, here are 10 effective ways for you to handle your anger towards your child in a much more constructive manner. Hopefully, after reading this article, you will be able to get your emotions under control while still keeping your child in check as well.
The first thing that you should do when you feel your blood rising towards your child is to keep your cool. Be quiet and let your eyes do the talking. This way, you will not end up saying things that might emotionally hurt the child in the process.
Secondly, it would help to warn the child of your impending anger. That way, he will realize that you are already on the brink and this will give him the chance to stop before you begin raising your voice.
If warning the child and giving him the cold shoulder won't work, it would help to leave him alone until he stops what he's doing. Most of the time, children act out to get their way. It would just get worse if you give him the attention he wants.
Just relax and try to get some air. He will eventually stop to observe what you are doing or to search for you.
However, it might be difficult to ignore the child especially if he starts destroying property. If this happens, distract him with something that he really would like to do. Go to a different room and start preparing another activity for him.
This will give you some time to clear your head while he is throwing his fit. In the end, you will not blow up at him in anger for sure.
If you feel that you are always getting angry at your child, perhaps the problem is not the child himself, but an underlying issue that you ought to deal with on your own. It would be best to step away from the situation and get out of the house.
Leave your child with a trusted adult (preferably a relative) for a few hours so that you can blow off some steam. If you can't deal with your situation right away, go out and exercise. This is a great way for you to release any pent up energy and aggression.
You can also try a bit of reverse psychology. Instead of getting angry to stop the tantrum, continue to feed it.
For example, if he won't stop throwing things, join him. Nine times out of 10, children will find this type of behavior weird coming from a parent. The ridiculousness of your behavior will keep your emotions in check while making him stop to think about why you are doing this.
Another age-old tactic that some parents resort to in order to handle their anger is to count. This will help you get your anger under control even before you do something that you will regret.
Don't forget to take a deep breath as well. Scientific studies have proven that increased oxygen supply helps decrease the heart rate and in turn lower blood pressure. If your blood pressure is low, chances are you will be relaxed enough not to get angry.
Doing some breathing exercises through yoga and meditation can help you get your emotions in check. It is definitely something highly recommended by experts so why don't you give it a try? This way, you will always feel relaxed even when faced with intense emotions as a parent.
Whether you do it out loud to distract him or in your head to control yourself, you will be hitting two birds with one stone when you sing. It will help you relax and diffuse your anger while distracting the child with your odd behavior.
One way to release anger is to scream loudly. Do this in front of your child and he will stop what he's doing for sure. This is especially effective if he hasn't seen you do this yet. You will stun the child into silence while releasing the negative energy into the ether at the same time.
The most important thing to remember is to never harm your child physically or emotionally no matter what happens. Be sure that everything that you do to control your anger would be directed towards yourself or some benign object.
Step away from the situation and come back only when heads are cooler. This way, you can explain why you tried to stop him earlier and what the repercussions of his behavior might be for him and those around him.


MS needs to get off their collective a$$es and get moving. If they want to put out half baked, Swiss cheese software they better be prepared to fix more than one problem a quarter. BB is going to kick MS out of the way if MS doesn't get moving with some updates. The consumers won't wait for a yearly update or one fix a quarter. MS needs to get ahead of the curve to have a chance and stay there.
Ok then, time for the think big, REALLY big mentality to kick in again. 2'000'000'000'000'000'000'000'000'000'000'000'000'000'000'000'000'000 fixes/new features a nanosecond, every nanosecond, without fail.
I believe it is also your email. Change it to sync only 7 days.
I don't think that's it. My sync settings for 2 out of 3 email accounts were 30 days when I ran out of space and other was over 4 Gb. After that initial hard reset, I kept email sync at 30 days. My Other is at a respectable 2 Gb level, it's been a few weeks since then, and I still have a month worth of email synced. Mind you, despite this being the Lumia 920 forum, I have a Lumia 810 with 8 Gb (and an sd card to hold my music + pictures) so it's not like I filled my phone with every app on the marketplace - I only have 1.07 Gb in apps. I shouldn't have run out of space.
I sent myself an email with 12 attachments of large photos. I went into the email and downloaded each photo. I monitored the other space and it had gone up after downloading all attachments. Once downloading the attachments, you can then save them... which I did. After saving the photos, pictures + video went up. Other remained the same... so I deleted the email entirely, resynced my account, and made sure that email was no longer on the servers. My other STILL remained the same - it did not go down. The attachment data seems to be now stuck in Other.
I don't think I'll be downloading email attachments through my WP from now on. I know that wasn't my initial problem though - that was the first time I tried downloading an email attachment from my phone anyway.
My other STILL remained the same - it did not go down. The attachment data seems to be now stuck in Other.
Eventually, when the mail falls off the 30 day window, it will disappear from the disk and "Other". It's possible Microsoft could add a compact mailbox action. It's possible they could add a "memory cleanup" option (like disk cleanup on Windows) to flush logs, backups, temp data, etc. and compact databases on the device. They probably will. In the meantime, it is what it is - other memory you're using for various files, along with temp cruft that should eventually get recycled.
You'll never see an Android-style memory/disk explorer because that doesn't fit the app model of WP8. If you want that, you'll need to go with Android.
On iOS, "Other" can balloon up too - my iPhone was up to about 10GB. The compact/delete temp/toss logs action in iOS happens when you reboot the device, which I did to reclaim the space. It's not, as you note, rocket science - it just has to be added to the startup actions in WP8.
Eventually, when the mail falls off the 30 day window, it will disappear from the disk and "Other".
I just find it odd functionality, particularly if I've deleted the email which held the attachments in the first place.
There is no excuse for storage being claimed that cannot be immediately reclaimed. Period. End of story. This is a bug and/or bad design. I am most definitely going to wait for this to be resolved before getting a WP8.
Mine is currently at 4.21 GB of data, and I'm convinced it HAS to be related to the number of installed apps. I'm sure a chunk of it is related to Nokia Maps (I have 251.3 MB of maps installed on my phone), but that's it. I just went (after looking at the size of "Other") and deleted my browsing, search, and maps history like was suggested, along with resetting my camera and Office. It dropped it to an exact 4.00 GB, so there is SOME blame there. However, that is still 4.00 GB that's not fully accounted for.
I've got the 251.3 MB of data from my installed maps (of IL and MOP), but I don't know about the rest. I have a Lumia 920 though, and am at 5.32 GB of free space, so I am not too concerned about a storage crunch, but I'm pretty sure it has been mentioned that uninstalled apps leave something behind before, so I am wondering if we need something like Android, where you can manually go in and delete all data related to a specific app.
Whatever the cause, they definitely need to give people the ability to see what it is. I have a lot of games on my phone, but their saves should not make up 3+ GB when the probably 50+ games on my Xbox 360 probably don't take up that much.
I deleted all of the music on my phone. I foolishly did not check my "Other" section after doing so. However, after I cleared it all off, I overloaded my phone with music (meaning I tried to add MANY more songs than it could hold). My "Other" section is now down from 4.00 GB to 2.63 GB. So, either deleting all of my music or overloading the storage on the phone definitely helped get the storage taken by "Other" to drop by more than a gig.
That's your apps and app data... To quote the early windows phone commercials, "... Really?"
really? all 11 gigs of it?
Sounds like a solution here would be a file explorer. The main reason I'd like one is to be sure that uninstalled apps have actually been cleared out properly. A big annoyance I've had through the years is uninstalling an app and finding it's folder and miscellaneous files still present. I noticed this annoying tendency even on my old Android phone. It was a persistent problem because every time there were updates I started getting warnings that I was running out of space.
I have this vision of storage space, which is at a premium on these devices, slowly being eroded thanks to sloppy developers. So it would be nice to be able to browse around and delete junk that's been left behind.
As far as I know, the app data is all stored in its own sandboxed area, and when you uninstall the app, the OS fries that sandboxed area. It doesn't give you the space back though, oddly enough.
-Have you downloaded maps for Nokia Drive? if you went with "All Regions" that means a whopping 2.6GB of disc space.
-Do you have Nokia Trailers? Have you downloaded any trailers to keep on your device?
-Do you use Nokia Music? Have you set any mixes for Offline listening? 4 mixed stations at ~200mb can add up.
-Do you have Youtube downloader? you may have forgotten about those HD downloads that can add up to gigs.
-Do you have Timelapse Pro which can fill your "Other" space quite quickly, I had a Timelapse video of 3GB. Camera easy is another one.
-Do you have Snes8x and forgot about all the roms stored on your phone, those will show up as "Other" as well.
I also got nearly a gig back just by deleting my browsing history. Settings -> Applications -> Internet Explorer -> Delete History. Also click Advanced and check Manage Storage to see if any sites have stored anything on your phone.
Odd. I cleared all my cached data 2 or 3 days ago and did a soft reset afterward. It went from 5.2 to 5.1 GB at that time. Now, thus morning, I am showing 2.47gb all of the sudden. Is memory monitor as bad as battery monitor or what? Still confused, but with everything going on in phone I can understand 2.47gb of misc data. Well, I can live with it.
Mine is at 3.96GB. This is on a phone that is less than a week old. Nokia Europe map is installed and about 20gb of music. There is nothing else installed by me except a few games.
I do have a lot of maps, but that's basically it. I have had those maps from the very beginning. And the folder keeps getting bigger and bigger.
Its seems each time an update is downloaded it gets saved and adds up, it never gets overwritten or deleted after installation.
I am now up to 4.60gb in the other folder.
Folks, simply update the software to the latest firmware v1232.5957.1308.00xx and after check this.
Yeah but when's this firmware being pushed out? I'm sure we've seen the video demo that Nokia has implemented a mechanism to clear the "other" nonsense but when will regular users get that?
Just for the info 1308 fw doesn't have any option to delete what is inside the other category on..
The other folder was not the biggest problem, were temporary files, see.
After a day I installed.
So I did a cleanup.
Not only this cleanup feature is amazing, but the interface as well!
I want my 920 back!!!
Got me the EVO 3D...I want my Arrive back!


I wanted to write about something that I haven't used much, and therefore force myself to learn it better, especially since it is on the MCSE Private Cloud re-certification exam that I need to write.
So, let's discuss and learn together about the System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) Synthetic Transactions.
According to this TechNet article (Monitoring By Using Synthetic Transactions): "synthetic transactions are actions, run in real time, that are performed on monitored objects. You can use synthetic transactions to measure the performance of a monitored object and to see how Operations Manager reacts when synthetic stress is placed on your monitoring settings." The most common example is with monitoring websites, but could also include databases, and TCP monitoring.
Start by launching the SCOM console, and navigate to the Authoring workspace, From there, expand Management Pack Templates and find Web Application Transaction Monitoring.
Right-click on the Web Application Transaction Monitoring, and choose Add Web Monitoring.
In the Add Monitoring Wizard, select 'Web Application Transaction Monitoring', and then click Next.
In the General Properties section, provide a name for the synthetic transaction, and select a Management Pack to store it in, then click Next.
On the Web Address section, enter the URL you want to monitor, and click Test.
The URL will be tested from the SCOM Management server.
Once the test has been completed successfully, click Next.
On the Watcher Node section, select the server that will be used to run the synthetic transaction, and also configure the frequency that the transaction will be run, then click Next.
On the Summary section, select the checkbox labelled 'Configure Advanced Monitoring or Record a browser session', then click Create.
This will then launch the Web Application Editor. Through this editor, you can change details around HTTP status codes, response times, both for an Error state and an Warning state. Once you have made any changes you require, click the Verify button, and then Apply. Once the changes have been applied, close the Web Application Editor window.
To view the state of this monitor, navigate to the Monitoring workspace, and expand the Web Application Transaction Monitoring > Web Application State. You will see the web application that was configured.
If the monitoring identifies an issue (as per the configured Web Application settings), then an Alert will be generated.
Now that the Web Application monitoring has been tested successfully, you can add this monitor to a Distributed Application, create a Subscription to send an email, even link this Alert into an Orchestrator Runbook for automated actions.

Adjustable LNB Power Supply Is DiSEqC Compatible
The DiSEqC standard is briefly introduced, and a DiSEqC-compatible power supply circuit with the MAX1771 is introduced. The application circuit provides the required 22kHz pulse-position-modulated (PPM) signal, as well as the 13V or 17V output selection. The circuit also provides a comparator circuit for detecting data transmitted by the satellite antenna assembly.
The circuit of Figure 1 provides a digitally switchable 13V or 17V for the low-noise block (LNB) typically found in satellite receivers at the antenna feedhorn. This variation of supply voltage "tells" the remotely located LNB electronics whether it should set the antenna polarization clockwise or counterclockwise, which thereby eliminates the need for an interface and cable connection to the antenna.
Figure 1. Designed for the low-noise block in a satellite receiver, this DiSEqC-compatible power supply communicates data by toggling its supply voltage between 13V and 17V.
The circuit shown also supports an emerging and more sophisticated communications bus called the DiSEqC standard (for Digital Satellite Equipment Control). Developed by the European Telecommunications Satellite Organization, the open DiSEqC standard promises to become a de facto world standard for communications between satellite receivers and satellite peripheral equipment. More details and circuits are available at the DiSEqC website.
DiSEqC provides a 22kHz pulse-position-modulated signal of about 0.6V amplitude, superimposed on the LNB's DC power rail. Its coding scheme allows the remote electronics to perform more complex functions—like varying the downconversion frequency or physically rotating the antenna assembly. IC1 is a PFM boost-converter controller that controls an external FET to provide the step-up conversion from 5V to either 13V or 17V. The digital-input Voltage Control sets the position of an analog switch that determines the amount of feedback to IC1, and hence the output voltage level. Thus, an input logic low selects 13V and a logic high selects 17V. IC2, a single switch in a tiny SOT23-5 package, is ideal for this simple switching task.
Components on the right side of the schematic provide compatibility with the DiSEqC standard. The comparator in IC3 forms a receiver that detects data transmitted from a slave LNB assembly (the DiSEqC standard specifies bidirectional data flow). This output connects to the IRQ or port pin of a microcontroller (not shown) for decoding.
The DiSEqC transmitter consists of transistor Q1 and an LED (D1), which acts as a transmit indicator and also as a constant-voltage source that forces a relatively constant current of about 40mA through Q1. During encoded bursts of 22kHz from the microcontroller, the low portions turn off the LED by sinking its drive current, which forces Q1 off as well. The 40mA switched current flows through R5, providing 600mV output swings as required by the specification.
C4, L2, and R5 form a resonant circuit whose impedance at 22kHz is 15Ω, as required by the specification. The inductor's DC resistance must be 0.5Ω or lower to accommodate the 0.5A maximum load currents. The circuit also operates on 12V, and does so with greater efficiency. When operating at 12V, consult the MAX1771 data sheet for suitable values of L1 and R1.
A similar idea appeared in the April 20, 1998 issue of Electronic Design.

Grapheme is a new permanent installation at Museum Wiesbaden created by Robert Seidel.
"Hand-drawn sketches were the starting point for the installation grapheme. They delineate the artist's initial creative idea and serve as the basis for the films projected, as well as for the form of the projection sculpture itself. These sketches are translations of memories and associations, which the artist, like in a diary, has captured from the most varied places and stations of life.
In the amorphous abstract films, the structural state of these sketches is translated into a temporal flow of images. Here, for example events from the past fade away and become connected in continual transformation to new experiences and impressions. The moving film image preserves this reconstruction process, without ever indicating an end-state."

Роза Ньюман-Валински (урождённая Рейзл Нейман, , ; 11 апреля 1888, Хотин, Бессарабская губерния — 21 мая 1953, Нью-Йорк) — американская еврейская поэтесса, скульптор. Писала на идише.

Биография
Родилась в Хотине в бедной семье; родители — Липа (Липман) и Лифша Нейман — были очень религиозны. У неё были три брата и сестра. В семилетнем возрасте осталась без отца и воспитывалась матерью. В 1900 году эмигрировала с семьёй в Лондон, где работала на фабрике головных уборов для мужчин, училась в вечерней школе и занималась самообразованием, и в 1905 году вышла замуж. В 1912—1915 годах жила в Канаде (Торонто), затем поселилась в Нью-Йорке. Здесь начала писать стихи и заниматься скульптурой. С 1941 года была тяжело больна, но продолжала писать.

Публиковала стихи и рассказы в периодических изданиях левой направленности на идише — «Цукунфт» (Будущее), «Фрайе арбетер штиме» (Свободный рабочий голос), «Тог» (День) в Нью-Йорке; «Ди пресе» (Пресса) в Буэнос-Айресе, «Кенедер одлер» (Канадский орёл) в Монреале. В 1930-е годы вышел её роман «Ди фрой вос хот гезигт» (Женщина, которая победила), основанный на автобиографическом материале и с описанием участия автора в рабочем и профсоюзном движении в Великобритании и США. Её поэтический сборник «Тинт ун лейм» (Чернила и глина), вышедший в 1942 году в Нью-Йорке с посвящением другу семьи Мани Лейбу, включал скульптурные композиции автора, сопровождающиеся её же стихами. Провела ряд индивидуальных выставок своих скульптур. Каталог её скульптур в сопровождении стихов её мужа вышел посмертно в 1956 году.

Over the Garden Wall #19
(Ka-BOOM!)
A fish who fishes has found himself hunting a monster after all the sea creatures go into hiding.
Creators: Pat McHale, Kiernan Sjursen-Lien, Cara McGee, Whitney Cogar
Reader Appeal: Ages 8-12
Publisher Rating: N/A
The front of this comic immediately got my attention, and not because it was flashy or full of action. The gentleness of the cover, featuring a tea party hosted by a garden gnome, drew me in. The muted earth-toned watercolors created a sense of peace and wonder. And while I was unfamiliar with this title, seeing it was a Cartoon Network original, I felt safe that comic was appropriate for children.
My oddly high expectations going into this comic didn't go unmet. Out of all the kid's comics I've read, I haven't found a storyline I've enjoyed more than this one. It was innocent, unadulterated and filled with child-like adventure. It's precisely the type of comic I would love for my nine-year-old to be reading.
The story starts off meeting the world's most perfect narrator: a fancy horse with glasses and a velvet robe. Unsurprisingly, he's chosen to narrate the story in the form of poetry. What is surprising is the protagonist: a fish who fishes. No, no, no--don't worry. He doesn't fish for fish. He catches crawdads instead. When all the sea creatures inexplicably go into hiding, the fish is left seeking answers. Will he find what he's looking for or will he find himself in deep trouble?
Children will be enthralled by the sheer whimsy of Over the Garden Wall. A fish who fishes? How hilarious is that? But parents will, more importantly, appreciate the imagination-safe environment that the fairy tale nature of this comic creates. Nothing is off limits! The wackiness of the storyline encourages children to enter a world where the only norm is being abnormal. That's something to love!
Another great thing about this comic was the overall design aesthetic. The softened vibe created by the water-color cover carried through the entire issue. The illustrations were simplistic while remaining bright and friendly. The balance McGee and Cogar created between color and calmness enhanced the story, instead of driving it.
The only thing I can even attempt to complain about is the poetry. The verse wasn't annoying. In fact, I loved it! But a few lines didn't seem to flow. Something was off with their cadence, throwing off the pace of the story. However, it's understandably a challenge to write an entire comic book in rhyme so I can cut Sjursen-Lien some slack.
Parents--this comic comes with high recommendations for your mid-elementary to early-middle school students. It's wholesome, has a sense of humor, and encourages creativity. In a fast-paced world full of technology, it's lovely to slow down and read a fanciful story ever once in a while. One note, though: if your child is very easily scared, just flip through an issue before handing it over. Fairy tales usually come with a monster and some kiddos might be sensitive to that!
Use these questions to spark discussion among family members who are interested in this comic book:
• This story's about a fish who enjoys fishing. What's something you like to do?
• Tell about a time that you've thought a person was mean or scary when you first met them. Were they friendlier when you got to know them better?
• The fish feels out of place on dry land. Have you ever felt out of place before?

Thanks to Pinterest I came across the blog Mummy Maestra today, and thought that this post would be well worth sharing for those of you that are back to school in time to make use of the resources mentioned.
Día de los Reyes Magos Lesson plans, Books, Activities mentions a number of books and associated lesson plans which may not be so useful unless you already have the book(s), but the craft activities are great. I particularly like the 3D Reyes Magos and the more challenging Wee Three Kings beanbags! And the link to the website El Boricua has a good account of the whole festival as it happens in Puerto Rico in English; likewise, Rosca de Reyes has details of celebrations around Reyes as well as recipe!
Below are three images linked to websites – the first is to a simple story about Los Reyes (click on the initial image in the post and the story is easier to read!); the second links to an online jigsaw puzzle, and the last to the download of the colour in flag – print one per child and make a garland!
Thanks Mummy Maestra for the ideas!


The Chemex coffee maker is the ultimate pour over brewer. This iconic and timelessly designed coffee maker that looks like a chemistry set was invented in 1941. It uses the infusion method to brew high-quality coffee.
The Chemex coffee maker is easy to use and very aesthetically appealing. It provides a near-perfect balance between performance and visual elegance. It is a double-whammy brewer that is both a beautiful kitchen tool and a full rich-bodied coffee maker.
The Chemex coffee maker is an hourglass-shaped glass flask with a wooden neck handle and a leather tie. It was invented by Peter Schlumbohm, an American chemist in 1941. During this period, the majority of households made their coffee using a percolator.
The Chemex coffee maker has a simple yet timeless design that is stunning. In fact, the design is so noteworthy that in 1958, the designers at the Illinois Institute of Technology featured it in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
Another interesting feature about this coffee maker is its filters that are approximately 20 to 30% thicker than those of a regular coffee filter. These filters help to filter out oils, ground, and bitterness providing you with super clean and clear coffee.
Before brewing your coffee, grind your coffee beans using a good burr grinder. The level of grinding you choose will determine how mild or strong your coffee will be. For a strong taste, grind the beans to fineness and for weaker coffee coarsen up the grind.
For dosage, use one rounded tablespoon of coffee for over 5oz. Cup. Put the ground coffee into the filter cone. For consistency in your dosage, use a digital scale. Coffee experts advice that you use 50 grams of coffee for every 700 grams of water.
Heat your preferred amount of water, preferably 1 liter, and bring to a boil using a good coffee kettle. You need to boil more water than you need to brew your coffee so that you can use the extra to rinse the filter.
Add 50 grams of coffee and grind it to your preference, whether you like it fine, medium or coarse.
Place the Chemex filter in the brewer with the multiple folds facing the spout. Pour some of the hot water over the filter to clean and seal it. The hot water also helps to get rid of any unwanted flavors from the filter. Dump out this water.
Place the grounded coffee inside the pre-moistened filter.
Let your boiling water settle for at least 30 seconds and then pour onto the coffee in the filter. The first pour is very crucial to the quality of coffee you will brew. Do not pour all the water onto the grounds at once. Instead, pour just enough to saturate the beans. According to Chemex, wetting the grounds allows it to bloom. Wait for at least 40 seconds to allow all the trapped carbon dioxide to escape.
After the 40 seconds have lapsed, stir the coffee with a wooden spoon. This stage is optional.
Gradually, pour in the water allowing at least an inch of the room near the top. Once you reach your preferred amount of coffee, stop pouring more water. A digital scale is a great way to prevent you from using too much water.
Once all the water passes through the sieve, carefully remove the filter and serve. You can store the remaining coffee in a thermal carafe to keep it warm.
Unlike popular belief that Chemex is hard to clean, it is quite simple. Rinse the flask with warm soapy water. You can also use plain hot water to clean it. For extra cleaning, you can use a dishwasher since the glass carafe is dishwasher safe. However, make sure you remove the wooden collar and leather straps before putting it in the dishwasher.
You can also wash it by filling the Chemex with ice and adding a tablespoon of salt. Spin it, dump and rinse it to be used the next time you are brewing some coffee.

When it comes to workplace strategy and design, Kay Sargent is one of the leading global experts. As the senior principal and director HOK's WorkPlace practice, she brings more than 30 years of experience in interior design and consulting.
She's been a featured guest on both our webinars and podcasts, and we're thrilled to have her as a speaker at this year's Big Easy Workplace Summit May 15-16.
While we certainly hope you have the opportunity to meet her and hear from her in person, we thought we'd share a few of our favorite Kay Sargent quotes in the meantime.
In a recent Workplace Design article, Sargent noted that many organizations are moving away from rigid global workplace design standards in favor of adopting more flexible guidelines. Although a consistent kit of design elements is faster to deploy and easier to manage, these strictly enforced standards failed in many regions.
In a recent iOFFICE webinar, Sargent shared that many company leaders are shifting from a focus on space-centric metrics to more human-centric metrics.
This is crucial because a company's largest expense will always be its people, not its real estate.
During the same webinar, Sargent emphasized the importance of cultivating a workplace that is "high touch" as well as high tech.
A high-touch environment is one where employees feel connected to each other and the world around them, not just connected to the technology they use.
For instance, workplace trends toward creating space that promotes health and wellbeing are being borrowed from hotel spaces. The "sharing economy" popularized by Airbnb is transforming the workplace with coworking spaces like WeWork. Similarly, hotel guest rooms and individual desks spaces are getting smaller, while common areas are becoming larger and more inviting.
In a January 2017 article for the Society of Human Resources Management (SHRM), Sargent discussed how to build workplaces that support employee engagement and productivity. Citing research by Advanced Workplace Associates and the Centre for Evidence Based Management, Sargent lists six factors that have the greatest impact on employee productivity. They include social cohesion, perceived supervisory support and trust, among other factors. And when it comes to both engagement and productivity, she notes, the importance of attitude can't be overstated.
To hear more workplace strategy gems from Kay Sargent and other industry leaders—including CoWorkr CEO Elizabeth Redmond, Vertex Pharmaceuticals Senior Director of Global Operations Jeff MacKay and Health Management Systems Senior Director of Real Estate and Facilities Will Martin—join us for the conference!

South Florida Blog for Fashion & Lifestyle | Frugal Flirty N Fab!: Chic N Pink!
Happy Monday Fab Fashionistas, I hope everyone enjoyed a Fashionable Weekend! Well after seeing Kerry Washington in this gorgeous oh so ladylike Pink Dior dress my weekend quickly turned into the search for the perfect pink dress, I mean she's rocking this look! Many women tend to stray from the color pink, but I think Kerry is showing us the perfect example of how to keep Pink Chic! Just in case Kerry is sending you into Pretty in Pink overdrive, I added 7 pink frocks sure to up the femininity factor while keeping the budget low.....See for Ya self!
Kerry is serving it in this Pink Dior dress. I'm loving the pink and red color block going on with it as well. I'm a big fan of the color pink and I add a touch of pink to my wardrobe quite often (even if it's just my nails and toes).
These dresses are cute. I like #2 and #5 the best.
Miss Dre I agree and Luv the color pink!
Loving numbers 2 and 4. I used to think I wasn't a pink fan until a closet inventory proved me wrong, LOL.
First and foremost, LOVE Kerry W. She is so chic. My faves #1, and #6. Great post!
Yes Asia Monique I would luv to spend a little time in Kerry's closet!Thanks for the luv!
I would love to have dresses #1, #2, and #5, in my closet. I'm a pink girl, though I try to pretend that I'm not. Kerry seems to always bring her fashion A- Game and I love her for that!
I'm loving #1 and #5 I'm not really a fan of pink, but this summer I've been LOVING it.


"WOW!!!! We LOVE them!!! So fun;) thank you two! You both were so great to work with and really enjoyed you!" wrote Cheryl and Scott. "For us being your last wedding of the season I never felt like you were "over it" or that you gave us less than your best ... thank you so much! Our favorites are on the bridge, barn behind us, and walking in the field of dying grasses ... the colors are beautiful! Also, we love the movement you created during dance party time by blurring the lights around the focal point! Awesome awesome awesome!"


BROMLEY manager Mark Goldberg says he is looking for a response from his players on a special day for the club on Saturday.
BT Sport have chosen to bring live coverage from Hayes Lane as Bromley play Altrincham in the Vanarama National League, kicking off early at 12:30pm.
Bromley are to make their television debut and a crowd of over 3,000 is expected as Bromley will receive a lucrative cash boost from fans of local Premier League and Championship clubs that are without a game due to the international break.
Bromley suffered a 2-1 home defeat to Boreham Wood on Tuesday night. The Ravens went 2-0 down inside the opening 11 minutes through two goals from Luke Howell.
Bromley pulled a goal back through Moses Emmanuel just before the break, the 26-year-old's 15th goal of the season, but the Ravens couldn't make the breakthrough to claim a point.
The Kent side slipped down a couple of places to sixth-place in the Vanarama National League table with 33 points from 20 games and welcome an Altrincham side that are in the bottom six on 20 points, four points clear of the relegation zone that is occupied by Torquay United, Southport, Kidderminster Harriers and FC Halifax Town.
"We've been in front of TV cameras before," said Goldberg, who believes his players will feel inspired to perform in front of a larger audience sitting at home.
"We'll treat it just a game we need to respond from our performance on Tuesday night with a win.
"I think, if anything, it should inspire the players to respond and to put on a good performance and hopefully (win).
Goldberg revealed details of his crippling injury crisis at Hayes Lane following Tuesday's game and hopes to have more bodies available at the weekend.
Bromley are exceeding all expectations this season but the Hayes Lane faithful are concerned that Boreham Wood became the sixth team to score the first goal inside the opening six minutes of games.
Bromley are level on points with fifth-placed Grimsby Town and are below Forest Green Rovers (40 points), Cheltenham Town (39), Dover Athletic (36) and Eastleigh (34) in the table.
Goldberg is proud of the way his Conference South champions are adapting to life in the top-flight during their debut season.
"Where we've been and where we are in the league and we're sixth but it's respectable, certainly with the squad that we've dealt with, injuries shall I say, we've got a fantastic squad that I'm really happy with.
"But we've just had a depleted squad over the last (few weeks) and we haven't made that as an excuse, which is credible to the team.
On Tuesday night, Goldberg revealed details of his injury crisis that is keeping physio Sean Wickenden a busy man.
"So we've got Ben May, Alex Wall, Alan Julian, Max Porter, now we've got Bradley Goldberg, we've got Pierre Joseph-Dubois not fit.
Pausing, he added: "And Ben Chorley and Sean Francis. So you think about it we had nine players out and one more in the warm-up so we had 10 players out and we had a player on the bench (Dennis) who wasn't really fit to be on the bench .
With Saturday's game finishing early, fans are welcome to get themselves over to Oakley Road (BR2 8HQ) to watch the Kent Invicta League clash between FC Elmstead (who wear sky blue shirts) and Gravesham Borough. The game at Holmesdale's ground kicks off at 15:00.

Feverborn (Hardcover)
By Karen Marie Moning
#4: Dreamfever (Fever (Dell) #4) (MP3 CD): $17.54
#5: Shadowfever (Fever (Dell) #5) (Compact Disc): $23.39
#6: Iced (Fever (Dell) #6) (MP3 CD): $17.54
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - In Karen Marie Moning's latest installment of the epic Fever series, Mac, Barrons, Ryodan, and Jada are back--and the stakes have never been higher or the chemistry hotter. Hurtling us into a realm of labyrinthine intrigue and consummate seduction, Feverborn is a riveting tale of ancient evil, lust, betrayal, forgiveness, and the redemptive power of love.
When the immortal Fae destroyed the ancient wall dividing the worlds of Man and Faery, the very fabric of the universe was damaged, and now Earth is vanishing bit by bit. Only the long-lost Song of Making--a haunting, dangerous melody that is the source of life itself--can save the planet.
But those who seek the mythic song must contend with old wounds and new enemies, passions that burn hot and hunger for vengeance that runs deep. The challenges are many: the Keltar at war with nine immortals who've secretly ruled Dublin for eons, Mac and Jada hunted by the masses, the Seelie queen nowhere to be found, and the most powerful Unseelie prince in all creation determined to rule both Fae and Man. Now the task of solving the ancient riddle of the Song of Making falls to a band of deadly warriors divided among--and within--themselves.
Once a normal city possessing a touch of ancient magic, Dublin is now a treacherously magical city with only a touch of normal. And on those war-torn streets, Mac will come face-to-face with her most savage enemy yet: herself.
Look for all of Karen Marie Moning's sensational Fever novels:
DARKFEVER - BLOODFEVER - FAEFEVER - DREAMFEVER - SHADOWFEVER - ICED - BURNED - FEVERBORN - FEVERSONG
Praise for Feverborn
"Moning's world-building is extensive and inspired, and she never fails to keep the action fast and the stakes high. . . . The heroes' shared danger, victory, loss and turmoil translate into emotional intensity and sexual tension."--The New York Times Book Review
"Karen Marie Moning is back, burning up the pages with scorching tension, gasp-out-loud surprises, unshakable danger and unexpected feels. Feverborn is simply impossible to put down. . . . I'm not sure how Moning is able to do it after eight books, but each novel proves more exciting than its predecessor as she continues to raise the stakes in this ongoing, exhilarating saga. Feverborn is a fight between ancient magic and renewed determination, a duel between old wounds and deep-seated love. Once again, you won't be able to put this book down."--USA Today
"Feverborn is at once the most gratifying and infuriating (in the best way possible) volume in the series yet. Moning's proclivity for passion, emotion and shocking twists is showcased in breathtaking clarity. . . . I can damn near guarantee that fans of the series will be panting, both with heat, and a frenzied need to know what happens next."--PopWrapped
"Feverborn is a masterpiece of epic proportions. With this book, Karen Marie Moning shows us exactly why she is such an indispensable writer in the genre."--Under the Covers
Karen Marie Moning is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Fever series, featuring MacKayla Lane, and the award-winning Highlander series. She has a bachelor's degree in society and law from Purdue University.

High temperatures make for challenging NH moose hunt
Posted: Tue 10:24 AM, Oct 24, 2017 |
Updated: Tue 10:25 AM, Oct 24, 2017
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) New Hampshire's Fish and Game Department say high temperatures this past weekend made it a tough opening weekend for moose hunting.
Kristine Rines, the department's moose biologist, says moose can't tolerate the heat, so they bed down and don't move around much. She says rain in the forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday should cool things down a bit.
Hunters achieved a 19 percent success rate during the first two days of the annual nine-day moose season. A total of 10 moose were taken by hunters statewide. A year ago, 25 percent of moose hunters were successful during the opening weekend.
A total of 54 hunters are taking part in the hunt, which continues through Sunday, Oct. 29.

Rhiannon Giddens: Tomorrow is My Turn
Debut solo album from the singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and founding member of Grammy Award-winning Carolina Chocolate Drops. Tomorrow Is My Turn was produced by T Bone Burnett. For her first solo disc, Giddens chose a broad range of songs from genres as diverse as gospel, jazz, blues, and country. In addition to the traditional "Black Is the Color," tracks include Hank Cochran's "She's Got You," made famous by Patsy Cline; Dolly Parton's "Don't Let It Trouble Your Mind"; "O Love Is Teasin'," popularized by the Kentucky-reared "mother of folk" Jean Ritchie; and Elizabeth Cotton's "Shake Sugaree." Tomorrow Is My Turn was recorded in Los Angeles and Nashville and follows Giddens' work with Elvis Costello, Taylor Goldsmith, Jim James, and Marcus Mumford on Lost On The River: The New Basement Tapes, an album also produced by Burnett that was released in November 2014.
Robert Earl Keen: Happy Prisoner -the Bluegrass Sessions
an album unlike any other in his storied catalog. Inspired by the bluegrass and acoustic music he grew up around, Keen has put his unique stamp on fifteen standards and other beloved tunes (twenty on the deluxe edition) by Flatt & Scruggs, The Carter Family, Jimmie Rodgers, even Richard Thompson. Special guests include Lyle Lovett and Natalie Maines on vocals, Nickel Creek's Sara Watkins on fiddle, and Danny Barnes on banjo.
Father John Misty: I Love You Honeybear
recorded from 2013 to 2014 in Echo Park, Los Angeles. There's a case to be made that it sounds and acts a bit like Scott Walker, Randy Newman, Harry Nilsson, and Dory Previn. The songs are a narration of my experience falling in love. My ambition was to address the sensuality of fear, the terrifying force of love, the unutterable pleasures of true intimacy, and the destruction of emotional and intellectual prisons with an imprint that is undeniably my own.
Vijay Iyer Trio: Break Stuff
features Vijay Iyer's long-running and widely-acclaimed trio with bassist Stephan Crump and drummer Marcus Gilmore, a band in existence for eleven years now. "We keep learning from each other and from experiences and try to set challenges for ourselves so that growth is part of the equation." It's a group whose musical language is informed by more than the jazz piano trio tradition. While Iyer acknowledges the influence of, for instance, Ahmad Jamal, Andrew Hill and Duke Ellington's Money Jungle album (with Charles Mingus and Max Roach) upon his own trio aesthetics, he points out that his group has also been inspired by "James Brown's rhythm section, Hendrix's Band of Gypsys, Miles Davis's rhythm section, Charlie Parker's rhythm section, soul music from the 1970s, electronic music and hip-hop from very recent times…" The list goes on. The piece "Hood" on the new recording is a tribute to Detroit minimal techno producer and DJ Robert Hood. "He did all this really interesting music with numerical patterning – different rhythms unfolding through each other, but still in a very clear dance music framework, very textural and sound-oriented. You hear the evolution of timbre. It became a point of reference for us, to see if we could capture some of that spirit in a purely acoustic framework." As for the album title, "Break Stuff" is what transpires after formal elements have been addressed. Vijay Iyer calls the break "a span of time in which to act. It's the basis for breakdowns, break-beats, and break dancing … it can be the moment when everything comes to life." A number of the pieces here are breakdowns of other Iyer constructions. Some are from a Break Stuff suite premiered at New York's Museum of Modern Art, some derive from Open City, a collaboration with Nigerian-born writer Teju Cole and large ensemble.

How many people rise and say
"My brain's so awfully glad to be here
For yet another mindless day"?
I've got all morning to obsessively accrue
A small nation of meaningful objects
And they've got to represent me too
By this afternoon, I'll live in debt
By tomorrow, be replaced by children
How many people rise and think
"Oh good, the stranger's body's still here
Our arrangement hasn't changed?"
Now I've got a lifetime to consider all the ways
I've grown more disappointing to you
As my beauty warps and fades
I suspect you feel the same
When I was young, I dreamt of a passionate obligation to a roommate
Is this the part where I get all I ever wanted?
Just a little bored in the USA
Oh, just a little bored in the USA
Save me, white Jesus
Bored in the USA
Oh, they gave me a useless education
And a subprime loan
On a craftsman home
Keep my prescriptions filled
And now I can't get off
But I can kind of deal
Oh, with being bored in the USA
Save me, President Jesus
I'm bored in the USA
How did it happen?
~Father John Misty

Forty-seven percent of US households live paycheck to paycheck as families struggle to save money in poor economy

https://www.naturalnews.com/049334_economy_retirement_savings.html
(NaturalNews) There has been some good news lately regarding the U.S. economy: Jobs are coming back in appreciable numbers - finally - and more Americans are having an easier time earning a living than at the height of the Great Recession.
But there is still plenty of bad news, economically, in the world's richest country. For example, a new study has shown that almost half of American families live from one payday to the next.
According to Deutsche Bank's Torsten Slok, some 47 percent of Americans save no money at all.
As noted by Shane Ferro at Business Insider:
If it isn't obvious, this has a broad range of implications. People who don't save won't have any buffer should the economy turn and they lose their jobs. Longer term, people who don't save won't have the capacity to retire.
It's not good.
Almost 1 in 5 households are saving nothing at all
According to a chart published with the report, Americans were not always so pressed. In 2001, 41 percent of households did not save; by 2010, just barely out of the official Great Recession period, that rate skyrocketed to more than 48 percent.
Today, it's not much better.
A separate report in U.S. News, quoting additional research from Bankrate.com, found that 46 percent of Americans put less than 5 percent of their annual incomes into longer-term savings instruments:
The study, which surveyed 1,000 adults living in the continental U.S. earlier in March, found that 18 percent of the U.S. was saving virtually nothing from year to year. Another 28 percent was building savings but hoarding less than 5 percent of annual incomes.
Greg McBride, a chief financial analyst at Bankrate.com, says even Americans saving the 5 percent of their incomes are not doing nearly enough.
"People are woefully under-saved, for both emergencies and retirement. I think these numbers tell us why. Not enough people are saving. Not enough people are saving enough," he said. "But there are those that are doing it. Almost a quarter of the population is saving more than 10 percent of their income. And even the lowest income households, about one in five, is saving more than 10 percent of their income."
The old rule of thumb is to save 10 percent - and pay yourself before you pay anyone else.
But tough times make for tough savings.
Credit card debt surpasses savings
McBride said Americans thinking both retirement and saving for a rainy day (an emergency of some sort) ought to really be putting away 15 percent of what they earn annually. Such a lofty goal, for a number of earners, "seems like a long way off, but it's a destination. That may not happen overnight."
He says nearly one in four Americans, or 24 percent, are saving more than 10 percent of their annual income, according to the study. Those with middle class incomes of between $50,000 and $74,999 are the most active savers; 35 percent of earners in that group saved more than 10 percent of their annual take-home pay last year.
"The best savers are not the highest income households. They're middle income households," McBride said. "Saving is not a function of income. It's a function of having the ability to live within your means and save consistently."
The study also found that 37 percent of Americans have credit card debt equal to or higher than their savings, meaning any surprise expense could push them into the economic abyss.
One way to save more is to curb costs - obviously - and many Americans are able to do that by growing their own food - even suburban and urban dwellers, using Mini Grow Boxes from Food Rising, an initiative launched by NaturalNews editor Mike Adams, the Health Ranger.
You can make your own mini-grow boxes using common parts and tools, then learn how to grow your own food while dramatically improving your health, lowering your grocery bill and possibly even saving your life.

Wound Care is important especially for seniors. It can help prevent infection and further complications in health. Here at Bayou Home Care in Louisiana, we provide Certified Wound Care services to give your loved ones professional wound care. However, when emergency situations arise, it is best to know even just the basics of wound care for acute wounds. Acute wounds are injuries that only occur on the skin. It happens when the skin is punctured, cut, or irritated/ruptured. Bleeding is often the clearest sign of an acute wound although swelling and pain can be signs as well if bleeding doesn't occur. Here are simple steps you can do to treat acute wounds.
Control the bleeding. If bleeding occurs, it is important to stop and control the bleeding to avoid too much blood loss. This can help prevent further complications from happening. Apply pressure on the wound using clean cloth and wait until the bleeding stops.
Clean the wound. Once the bleeding has stopped, use soap or perhaps saline solution to clean the wound and the area surrounding it. Clean the wound thoroughly and rinse it thoroughly as well but don't rub it too much. Be as gentle as you can to avoid worsening the condition of the wound. Doing this can help prevent infection and also prevent damage on the blood vessels, nerves, and muscles.
Dress the wound. Prevent further exposure from bacteria and infection by closing and dressing the wound. If you have a first-aid kit on hand, you may use a gauze or Band-Aid for this. If this is not available, you can close the wound with a clean piece of cloth.
Get professional medical help. After basic wound care, the wound must be assessed by professionals in order for proper treatment to be administered. Follow the physician's instructions religiously and take the prescribed medication regularly.
Here at Bayou Home Care in Louisiana, we have Certified Wound Care Nurses to make sure that your loved ones are taken care of in the best way when sudden injuries occur. If you want to make sure that your loved one gets the best all-around health care, then choose Bayou Home Care in Louisiana!

I've recently joined the Cable Vessel Maersk Recorder and we are currently carrying out cable repairs in the North Sea at the Egmond wind farm just off of Ijmuiden, Holland 52° 33.0'N 004° 27.9'E. The North Sea this time of year is notorious for being pretty horrific and the prospect of being here in the winter fills most sailors with dread. This year is generally no different, there have been numerous news reports from all over the world saying just how awful the weather has been; Tidal surges in the UK, polar vortex' in the Atlantic, ships damaged in horrific storms and I must say we've been very lucky with weather so far this trip.
One news report in particular really caught my eye, harrowing yet comical at the same time; the research vessel Akademik Shokalsiy becoming stuck fast in Antarctica with several scientists and crew onboard and the Chinese ice breaker Xue Long coming to rescue it and also getting stuck was for a time, a rather funny story but it made me think back to my time 'down South' and one of the scarier moments of being so far away from home.
I often fondly recall my time in Antarctica and our trips deep within the pack ice, one particular trip is still my favourite; the time we re-supplied Halley VI. Beginning in the Falkland Islands, loading all manner of things; copious amounts of beer and toilet roll, food, tractors and sno-cats! Only a small number of people remain in the bases over the astral winter as the conditions are too fierce to conduct science work safely, so it was our job to ensure they had enough resources to live on for the coming months when they are on their own.
After setting off from Stanley we sailed straight into horrendous seas and poor visibility, I was fairly new to the ship at this time and everything was exciting and interesting to me. We sailed past South Georgia and around the South Sandwich Islands getting further and further south. Then we started encountering ice, small growlers floated past seemingly harmless and almost dainty (one could easily sink us), huge icebergs could be seen off in the distance like huge white mountains sleeping on the surface of the sea.
As we approached the pack Ice Bergy Bits would often creep upon us hidden in amongst brash and larger growlers, like sentries sent from the mountainous bergs as a warning not to get too close! We pressed on and on, crossing the Antarctic circle, passing king penguins, Adelie penguins and of course the infamous emperor penguins all minding their own business lounging about on the ice. The initial entering of the pack is easy, just gliding full power through first year ice, roughly a metre thick, certainly no match for the reinforced ice knife bow but as we edged closer to our destination the ice got thicker and thicker, harder and harder to break, until, well… We too got stuck, not quite on the grand scale of the Akademik Shokalsiy or the Xue Long but certainly enough to make me sympathise deeply with their situation.
We spent what felt like days trying to get off that floe, using all available power to try and move us off but we had no luck, we were stuck fast! The pack is always moving and the danger was that if we didn't get off quickly enough the ice could close in around us and leave us nowhere to manoeuvre and become truly beset. We put on the ships ice healing system which is a dedicated pair of tanks that are used to move water extremely quickly from one side of the ship to the other causing the vessel to roll and hopefully eek our way off of the floe. After about 9 hours we eventually broke free and there was a huge sigh of relief from everyone onboard, later that night in the bar we talked of how much worse that situation could have become.
We proceeded to make our way through the pack ice and got to the vicinity of Halley VI, calm seas, ice free water, seemly perfect conditions to make fast alongside the ice shelf, but that's another story in itself.

Haiti cholera epidemic kills 7,000
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, Jan. 7 (UPI) -- Cholera has killed at least 7,000 people and sickened more than 520,000 in Haiti two years after a devastating earthquake struck the country, officials said.
The cholera outbreak in Haiti is "one of the largest epidemics of the disease in modern history to affect a single country," the U.N. World Health Organization's Pan-American Health Organization said in a news release.
Jon Andrus, the PAHO deputy director, said about 200 new cholera cases a day are reported in Haiti and the number will increase during the coming rainy season, which begins in April.
Andrus said in the U.N. release eliminating cholera will require "major investment" for decades to ensure safe water and sanitation for all residents.
The disease has spread from Haiti to the neighboring Dominican Republic, where 21,000 cases and 363 deaths from cholera have been reported, Andrus said.
The magnitude-7 Haiti earthquake, which struck 16 miles west of Port-au-Prince, and aftershocks killed an estimated 316,000 people and left 1.5 million people homeless, the Haitian government says. Many still live in tents and unsanitary conditions.
Most people in Haiti lack public sewage systems or sanitary latrines, and Haitians often drink from the same water they use to bathe and defecate.
Louise Ivers, senior health and policy adviser for U.S.-based aid organization Partners in Health and a Haiti resident, told USA Today people in rural areas often live hours from a water pump with clean water, and many cannot afford soap to wash their hands or fuel to boil water and kill the cholera organism.
"We have the luxury in the United States of potable water at our fingertips," Ivers said. "It's not a question in Haiti of ignorance. It's access."
Haiti's Health Ministry is to work with Partners in Help to begin giving 100,000 people in a Port-au-Prince slum and a rural community an oral cholera vaccine, Ivers said.
Cholera causes severe diarrhea and, without immediate treatment, can lead to dehydration. That, in turn, can lead to shock, which can cause death.

Not the A List but My List
What Is Sofia Vergara Nationality
Sofia Vergara is an Ecuadorian actress, singer, television character, and manufacturer. She is the highest-earning starlet in American tv history for 8 straight years, from 2020 to 2020. Currently, she is wed to Carlos Ortiz, the former director of the Miami Heat. They have 2 children.
Sofia Vergara ended up being understood to Americans through her appearances on various popular shows such as Modern Family, The Mind Show, Everybody Loves Raymond, and Roseanne. In each of these series she portrayed the mother of modern household. She also gained popularity on her functions in dramas Ordinary Family, Miami Law, and Shades of Blue. All of these led to critical acclaim, awards, and supporting roles in Best Screenplays and Leading Acting elections. It is clear that given that Modern Family introduced, Sofia Vergara has actually attained near cult status in the United States. Below are a few of her more popular TV functions and awards.
On the television program, Modern Family Sofia Vergara plays Mauricio. He is the father of Mike (Dabney Coleman) and Lisa (Sandra Oh). Sofia plays the mother, Corin, who cares deeply for her boy while managing a big household of her own. In an episode, Mike and his buddies were stunned when they found out that Corin was dating Sofia. As a result of this, her character decided to move into a house and completely leave Mike and his pals to get familiarized.
In the motion picture, Bridesmaids, Sofia Vergara played Camila. She was the 2nd highest-paid starlet on Modern Family.
Another significant role that Sofia Vergara has played on Modern Family is Leighton Meester. He is the honestly gay child of a well-off household. As shown by the birth of his second son, Leighton took on the function of a surrogate to assist conserve the lives of his partner and infant by getting his pals to donate sperm to assist in the process.
An appearance back at the modern-day family series finale, one can see how Sofia Vergara played a big function in illuminating the struggles and sacrifices that the members of the modern-day household must go through in order to raise a successful and happy household. In the final scene of the episode, it was exposed that Lauren had died in childbirth, having actually been shot by a hunter while attempting to save her mother from an approaching bullet.
In terms of acting capability, Sofia Vergara does not have the type of variety that you would typically anticipate from a starlets. She does play the best out of her two lead characters, Lauren Bialik and Mike Epps. While Epps is more over the top when it pertains to feelings, Bialik has actually a more understated manner. It is this sort of subtlety that makes Bialik various from a lot of his other co-stars on Modern Family, in that it is rare for a star on such a mainstream program to show any range, not to mention 2. Sofia Vergara does a fantastic job of playing the deeply harmed yet resistant female, because it is really simple to root for her in these episodes. Also, her character is just an exceptional example of what a modern household need to resemble.
Overall, Modern Family has become called among the most political correctness shows on TV, which has actually helped it increase in popularity amongst the seeing public. Nevertheless, it also includes an incredible amount of talent when it pertains to casting. Sofia Vergara delivers an outstanding performance as the normal rural mother, in addition to one that is totally different than what we see on Modern Family. Mike Epps does a good job of filling the shoes of daddy, making him a lovable part of the family. Overall, the final episode of Modern Family is one that I would advise anyone to view. The true achievement of this series comes from, how it manages to stay topical while still preserving a clear conscience.
Sofia Vergara ended up being known to Americans through her looks on numerous popular programs such as Modern Family, The Mind Show, Everybody Loves Raymond, and Roseanne. On the tv show, Modern Family Sofia Vergara plays Mauricio. Another noteworthy function that Sofia Vergara has played on Modern Family is Leighton Meester. A look back at the contemporary household series ending, one can see how Sofia Vergara played a big role in lighting up the battles and sacrifices that the members of the modern-day family should go through in order to raise a pleased and effective family. Sofia Vergara provides an exceptional efficiency as the common rural mother, as well as one that is completely various than what we see on Modern Family. What Is Sofia Vergara Nationality

Because BMW uses synthetic ATF instead of PS fluid.
I put Mobil 1 in mine. Do it outside though because synthetic AFT STINKS!!
ATF and PSF are very similar fluids. However, ATF's tend to be a bit more robust (due to their intended use) and are oft spec'd in higher pressure systems.
A synthetic ATF like M1 ATF is a great choice and is my lube of choice for all my vehicles in their power steering systems.
Ford and Chrysler both spec ATF in their systems as well, it is quite common.


Slow Press® wine shares our culinary secret for crafting a "go to" grilled cheese sandwich…Cabernet Sauvignon Glaze!
Two slices of sourdough bread are spread with a sinfully craveable, syrupy Slow Press® Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Glaze, then stuffed with slices of white cheddar cheese, creamy Havarti, shreds of Colby/jack cheese & caramelized red onions – all griddle pressed to golden indulgence. Serve with an additional side of warm Slow Press® Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Glaze for flavor packed dipping/dunking.
Prepare the Slow Press® Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Glaze: Whisk the Slow Press® Cabernet Sauvignon wine, balsamic vinegar & cornstarch together, in a small saucepot or non-stick sauté pan, to evenly combine. Add the honey & whisk to evenly combine. Heat the saucepot over low-medium heat and cook approximately 5-6 minutes, reducing the ingredients to become a sauce-like, syrupy consistency. Reserve for building the sandwiches – makes 1 C.
Finished glaze will have a distinct cabernet wine flavor & aromatics with hints of sweetness, be a dark purple color and coat the back of a spoon with its' glaze like quality.
Keep a close eye on the glaze, while it cooks, as it can boil over easily.
½ C of the glaze is used for spreading on the sandwiches and the remaining ½ C of the glaze is used as a dip for the sandwiches.
Prepare the caramelized red onions: Heat the oil, over medium-high heat, in a non-stick sauté pan. Add the onions and cook approximately 3-5 minutes to soften and lightly & evenly caramelize. Reserve for building the sandwiches – makes ½ C.
To build the sandwiches: Follow the below order of ingredients for each sandwich.
1 slice sourdough bread – spread with 1 Tbsp reserved cabernet glaze.
Glaze side facing up towards cheese.
1 slice white cheddar cheese – torn in half to fit bread, if needed.
1 slice Havarti cheese - torn in half to fit bread, if needed.
¼ C shredded Colby/jack cheese – spread evenly across cheese.
2 Tbsp reserved caramelized onions – spread evenly across cheese.
1 slice white cheddar cheese - torn in half to fit bread, if needed.
Glaze side facing down onto the cheese.
Lightly & evenly spray both sides of the plain outside of each built sandwich with vegetable spray. Cook the sandwiches in a Panini press, on high heat, for approximately 3-5 minutes – lightly pressing as the sandwiches cook. Remove sandwiches from Panini press and slice each in half. Serve each sandwich with 2 Tbsp of the warmed remaining Slow Press® Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Glaze for dipping/dunking.
Finished grilled cheese sandwiches should be an even golden color & crispy in texture, with the cheese fully melted & all ingredients hot.
Using a Panini press or even a waffle iron to prepare/griddle the grilled cheese creates extra texture, a deep golden color & heats the sandwiches very fast. You can also use a non-stick sauté pan to brown the sandwiches then finish them in a 350° F oven to fully heat the ingredients & melt the cheese.
Use the Slow Press® Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Glaze for 101 home recipe creations: warm & pour over vanilla ice cream (yum), glaze for beef-pork-chicken-vegetables, sandwich spread, drizzle over baked brie or other whole warmed cheeses for an appetizer, sauce for a stir fry, swirl into Greek yogurt for a snack, freeze and make into popsicles and more. Once you taste it, your culinary imagination will go wild.
Adding cornstarch to the glaze ingredients helps the glaze to thicken quickly, maintaining a higher volume yield & shortening the reduction/cooking time; as well as, helping to create a velvety, syrupy sauce-like texture and retaining the qualities of the Slow Press® Cabernet Sauvignon wine. The balsamic vinegar & honey will naturally thicken (and sweeten) as they reduce.
Spreading the cabernet glaze on the inside of each bread slice, before adding the cheese & onions, creates additional wine flavor throughout the grilled cheese sandwich & greater complementary appeal.
You can prepare the Slow Press® Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Glaze and the caramelized red onions in advance and refrigerate those until needed for preparing the grilled cheese. Use the glaze cold spread on the bread slices and lightly warm the rest for dipping/dunking. Use the onions cold on the sandwich build.
Can use melted, unsalted butter, in place of the vegetable spray – evenly brushing the melted butter on the outside of each bread slice before griddling.
Experiment with different varieties of bread: whole grain, ciabatta, peasant bread, challah, Texas toast and more.
Experiment with different varieties & cuts of cheese, paired with the Slow Press® Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Glaze – creating new grilled cheese sensations.
Add chopped applewood smoked, maple or peppered bacon to the build (over the onions) for extra indulgence.
Add fresh arugula to the build (over the onions) for extra freshness cues and a complementary contrast of spiciness.
Cut each finished grilled cheese in ¼'s for a snack-time application. Serve with sides of Slow Press® Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Glaze for dipping/dunking.
Don't over press the grilled cheese sandwiches, while cooking, or the cheese may ooze out.


I've had two recent conversations about confession. In both the other person told me they are often not sure what to confess. They want a specific recognition of sin in their lives beyond the "we have not loved (God) with our whole heart/We have not loved our neighbor as ourselves." The prayer of confession* also refers to sinning against God in "thoughts, words, and deeds" and by "what we have done" and "left undone." What, in particular, are these—and how do we become more aware of them in our lives?
It's generally not too difficult to recognize when we commit one of the "big" sins: an outright lie; a lustful thought; an outburst of anger; blatant, hurtful gossip, etc.** But the less obvious ones, the ones that pop up like weeds from our inherent self-focus/self-love, are often overlooked. Our bishop at Church of the Resurrection, Stewart Ruch, calls self-love/focus the "seed of sin." It's a very prolific seed, and the "small" sins it sprouts are harmful, no less harmful than the "big" ones. But they are also insidious (I love that word—it actually sounds evil!), working subtly and gradually. Many of them can even disguise themselves as something culture sees as good (like selfish ambition). How can we recognize these in our lives?
A couple of verses from the Psalms have been a great help for me as I've thought about this problem. Psalm 139 opens with these lines: "You have searched me, LORD, and you know me." It goes on to show how intimate this knowledge is and the section ends with this statement: "Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain." This "knowledge" is about me—ME! God's knowledge of me is far, far greater than my own knowledge of myself. He knows me in ways I am completely unable to know myself. That can seem terrifying—but it's actually very, very helpful. Each of us has major blind spots in our lives; we can point out faults in others but remain unable to see the very same sins in ourselves. Psalm 19:12 says, "…who can discern their own errors? Forgive my hidden faults." The last two verses in Psalm 139 say, "Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." In the New Living Translation that last verse reads, "Point out anything in me that offends you"; the Message paraphrases it "Investigate my life, O God, find out everything about me; cross-examine and test me, get a clear picture of what I'm about;".
*The first blog post in this series has the prayer of confession in its entirety.
**It can be helpful to simply read some of the lists of sins in Scripture and ask the Spirit to reveal those in our lives. Here are links to some of them: Galatians 5:19-21, Colossians 3:5-6, Proverbs 6:16-19.
***This is the Collect for Purity from the Book of Common Prayer.
Hi Helen–looking for the presence of God AND the presence of sin. What a necessary combination! If I become aware only of the presence of sin without God's presence, I can easily sink into despair. But with His presence, I have hope! Thank you!
Jen, this is wonderfully explained. This week in the Transformation Intensive we have started using the daily Examen. The passage you mention are ones we are using in the process of Examen – looking for the presence of God and for the presence of sin in our lives.

Wir waren nur eine Nacht, aber die Gastgeber waren unglaublich. Da wir es nicht sofort gefunden haben würden wir abgeholt noch auf die Terasse zum Kaffee geladen und haben sehr viele Tipps bekommen, die alle perfekt waren von Strand über Bäcker bis zur Bar. Also das nächste mal werden wir hier länger einplanen. Wir waren sehr zufrieden.

Railways: Linking Cities, Connecting the Countryside
There are 1,065.0 kilometers of railway in Taiwan. Over 232 million passengers and 7.7 million metric tons of freight are carried by trains per year. The high-speed rail system, with an average of 166,000 passengers per day, accounts for 350 kilometers of these rails. With respect to urban mass rapid transit systems, the MRT in Taipei comprises 131 kilometers of track and hosts 2 million passenger trips per day. The Red and Orange lines in Kaohsiung stretch for a total of 43 kilometers and host 176,000 passenger trips per day. The combination of metropolitan mass rapid transit systems with regular railways form a highly efficient rail-based transportation network.
MOTC is working on creating an even more orderly and convenient railway transportation for Taiwan, raising the overall efficiency of rail service for Hualien and Taitung and building a robust urban-rural railway service.
MOTC envisions a public transportation system that prioritizes customer satisfaction while marching toward its goals of green transportation and seamless transportation.
