Revealed: the top dishes children should be able to cook by the age of 11
Comments Off on Revealed: the top dishes children should be able to cook by the age of 11
WATCH YOUR WASTE – ENCOURAGING YOUNG COOKS IS RECIPE TO STOP FOOD BEING BINNED
Average UK household dumps £51,000 of food in a lifetime – but study finds way to stop the rot
'Micro kids' – children's kitchen skills have diminished by a third (33%) in the space of a generation due to rise of pre-packed meals
UK families throw away one fifth of their food purchases each year – or over £18,000 per person in a lifetime – despite more than three quarters of parents expressing concern about food wastage
Teaching kids to cook could help cut waste and promote a more balanced diet according to study, which identifies kids leaving food as one of the top five causes of food wastage
Some things remain a constant – the humble Brussels sprout remains top 'food foe' for children
Research commissioned by Samsung to launch the Family Hub™ Refrigerator as part of new initiative to encourage families to cook together more, in collaboration with MasterChef star Emma Spitzer
Samsung has teamed up with MasterChef finalist Emma Spitzer to get more kids in the kitchen, to mark the launch of the Samsung Family Hub Refrigerator – and has revealed the top 25 dishes that parents think kids should be able to cook by the age of 11, aimed at getting families cooking together more often.
Simple recipes for the top 25 dishes all feature in a free recipe book – free to download at Easy Kids Recipes.
The new Samsung Family Hub Refrigerator provides new ways to shop for, cook and manage food as well as helping to plan family life with its unique exterior screen, all designed to act as a family's digital command centre.
Spaghetti bolognese, scrambled eggs on toast and pancakes are named among the dishes that children should be able to cook by the age of 11, in a new study released today. The research suggests that teaching kids to cook could help solve the food wastage issue and highlights that children's culinary skills are in sharp decline due to the rise of ready meals.
The research found that children being fussy eaters and leaving food on their plate is among the top five causes of food wastage for UK households. Moreover, the findings reveal that families throw away an average of £676 of food every year, equating to over a fifth (22%) of their total average food bill[i]. Across a lifetime, this is over £18,000 per person lost on wasted food[ii], or over £51,000 for the average UK household[iii].
The Samsung Family Hub™ Study surveyed 2,000 British parents – asking them to name the dishes they believed children should be able to cook by the age of 11, which were compiled from a longlist assembled by a panel of leading food, consumer and family lifestyle experts.
The study was commissioned to mark the launch of the new Samsung Family Hub™ Refrigerator, which provides new ways to shop for, cook and manage food as well as helping to plan family life with its unique HD exterior screen, designed to act as a family's digital command centre.
The Top 25 dishes that British parents believe children under 11 should be able to cook (with adult supervision) are as follows:
Simple recipes for the top 25 dishes listed all feature in a free recipe book, which has been specially created with MasterChef finalist Emma Spitzer to aid and promote cooking with children (free to download at Easy Kids Recipes).
The Family Hub™ study's findings echo recent comments from kitchen doyenne Mary Berry that cookery skills for kids should be a bigger priority in both schools and at home. The study revealed that the omnipresence of ready meals could well be part of the issue – finding that children's kitchen skills had reduced by a third (33%) over the past 25 years. Indeed, a generation ago, British children were capable of cooking an average of six dishes by the age of 11, whereas today's under 11s now have an average repertoire of just four dishes.
The study also reveals that over three quarters (76%) of British adults are concerned about food wastage, with one of the top five causes for this wastage including children being fussy and leaving food (18%). Further factors were noted as food going out of date (51%), buying more food than the households eats (24%), being unsure how to use up ingredients bought for a specific recipe (19%) and eating out more often than planned (17%).
Six in 10 of the parents surveyed (63%) noted that fussy eating and leaving food on the plate is a major issue with their children, particularly in their younger years. Two thirds (66%) also said they wished their children had the opportunity to cook more often believing that children are far more likely to eat a wider variety of food if they prepare it themselves (56%) – alongside it being an important skill to have later in life (62%) and helping them to appreciate their food more (59%).
Emma Spitzer, finalist on last year's MasterChef and herself a mother of four young children, has demonstrated how to cook a number of the 25 dishes in a series of Family Hub™ videos. She says, "The food wastage issue is something which affects us all and I firmly believe that getting kids involved in cooking and preparing food at a young age can help. I love cooking with my own children, it's great fun and a brilliant way of encouraging them to try new foods. I have created a simple and free Samsung Family Hub™ recipe book which I hope will inspire families to cook together and for children to learn the joy of making their own meals from scratch."
In the UK, over a third (37%) of parents currently cook less than once per week with their children – despite nine in ten (91%) believing that cooking with children is a good way to bring the family together, and over half (55%) stating that the kitchen is the most sociable room in the house, overtaking the living room.
The study found that some things remain a constant however, as the much-maligned Brussels sprout (46%) is named as the food item kids today are still most likely to refuse eating, followed by blue cheese (40%), anchovies (36%), olives (34%), spinach (33%), mackerel (32%), mushrooms (30%), sushi (29%), asparagus (27%) and kidney beans (26%).
Nick Bevan, Head of Product – Home Appliances at Samsung Electronics UK commented, "We're passionate about developing new ways to make family life that little bit easier and encouraging today's children to take an interest in food and cooking is a great way to ensure kids are engaged with what they eat, and hopefully lessening food wastage in the process as well. Along with our free recipe guide of dishes that are perfect to cook with the kids, the Family Hub™ Refrigerator not only offers recipe suggestions but also keeps track of the food you actually have in the fridge, all aimed at making mealtimes fun and reducing the amount of food that goes to waste."
Regional breakdown:
Across the UK, those in London (83%) are most likely to be concerned about food wastage, while those in Scotland (70%) are least likely to be concerned – but London-based children (70%) are also the most likely to be fussy eaters, closely followed by those in East Anglia (69%), while those in the West Midlands (58%) likely to be the least fussy.

[1] In 2014, average UK household spent £58.80 each week on food and non-alcohol beverages, according to stats from ONS in 2014: source – How Much Does The Average Household Spend Each Week
According to survey results, each household wastes £13 a week on food wastage, which is £676 each year. Therefore, if we waste £13 of every £58.80 spent each week on food, that is 22% of overall food spend that goes on wasted food.
[1] Average family size surveyed – 2.96 per person. Therefore, each person wastes an average of £4.40 per week on food (£13/2.96). Average life expectancy in the UK is 81 years. Therefore, across a lifetime, each person wastes £228,80 per year (£4.40 x 52) or £18,533 in a lifetime (£229.80 x 81).

Home Market FPIs took out Rs 44,500 crore from Indian markets in FY19
FPIs took out Rs 44,500 crore from Indian markets in FY19
Overseas investors have pumped in a net sum of Rs 8,634 crore into the Indian capital markets in the first five trading sessions of April, mainly due to positive market sentiment.
As per analysts, the positive change has been triggered by domestic as well as global factors and the trend is likely to continue for some time.
In March, the overseas investors had pumped in a net Rs 45,981 crore into the capital markets (both equity and debt).
For the 2018-19 fiscal, they were net sellers to the tune of Rs 44,500 crore.
According to depositories data, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) put in a net amount of Rs 8,989.08 crore in equities during April 1-5. However, they pulled out a net Rs 355.27 crore from the debt markets, leading to an overall investment of Rs 8,634 crore in the capital markets.
"Although, India had some domestic concerns in the form of political uncertainty and increase in cross border tension with Pakistan, alleviation in some of these later improved India's prospects," Morning Star's Senior Analyst Manager (Research), Himanshu Srivastava said.
Improvement in the country's macro-outlook as well as expectations of the formation of a stable government at the Centre brought foreign money back into the Indian markets, he added.
"Consequently, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) turned net buyers in the India equity markets to the tune of USD 7.31 billion cumulatively for February and March," Srivastava said.
Globally, after the January 30 FOMC meet, the US Fed chief declared that the "rate hikes are on hold".

My father-in-law left on Friday, so it's back to reality for me — that reality in which I work by myself on my projects and figure out answers to problems all on my own. I can already tell that I'm going to have a very hard time getting back into the swing of things around here.
The progress that was made during his stay was very significant. Ever since Matt and I moved into this house at the end of 2013, I've felt like I was kind of spinning my wheels on some things because the fact is that I couldn't really get rooms finished until two things happened — the polystyrene tiles and 1 x 4's were removed and the ceilings were redrywalled, and the electrical was updated.
For example, in the front room (which I originally used as a living room, but now plan to use as a dining room) and the entryway, I tried to make those rooms presentable, but there was no way I could hide those ugly ceiling tiles. And the oddly placed junction box in the ceiling for the light was centered in the whole area rather than being centered over a seating area. So to remedy that, I had to swag the light to get it in the right place, which just looked makeshift.
…but it was impossible to make the room feel completely updated as long as I had ceiling tiles and a swagged chandelier. Those ceilings also held up other projects, like adding crown moulding, and the overmantel I've had planned for the fireplace from the beginning. Any kind of "improvements" I did in here in the last year-and-a-half, other than removing the carpet and refinishing the floors, just felt like lipstick on a pig, but nothing felt like it could be permanent.
What's funny is that the room actually looks quite a bit worse now than it did when I had it decorated as a living room, but now it holds so much more possibility.
I don't have any more ceiling tiles to contend with, and the lights and junction boxes are in the correct places now. Once my walls and ceilings are taped and mudded, I can actually add crown moulding, hang my dining room chandelier, build the overmantel on the fireplace, and get this room pretty darn close to finished. The only other really significant project that remains in here is replacing the windows, but that's a big cost and will probably have to wait until next year. Any large chunks of money right now are being put away for our HVAC system.
Speaking of my walls, I know you're probably wondering why they look so torn up in places. I really don't know exactly what process was used on these walls, but every drywalled wall in my house seems to be completely covered with a thick paper (about the thickness of two sheets of poster board) which was textured and then painted. It probably has about ten coats of paint on it from the past six decades.
But if you'll remember from when I tried to paint my bedroom, the walls are very textured with a random (read: ugly) texture that I wanted to skim coat.
But what I've found is that this thick paper layer, along with the texture and decades of paint layers, peels off quickly and easily, and still leaves behind a paper layer over the drywall.
The paper layer underneath looks kind of rough initially, but I tried on an area to sand it lightly, and it smooths everything out quite nicely. So the plan is to remove this thick textured paper from all of the drywall, lightly sand to remove the damaged paper layer left behind, and then skim coat the walls.
Matt keeps insisting that tearing all of this out and just redrywalling all of the walls would be easier, but I disagree. And since I'm the one doing the work, I won on this one. 🙂 Plus, keeping this and working with it is better for the environment, so the less I can take to the landfill, the better I feel about it.
…and of course, the music room.
I do still have some pretty significant projects to tackle before I can really get to the pretty stuff, though. In the music room, I want to move and enlarge the cased opening into the hallway. Thankfully, that's not a load-bearing wall, but it's still a pretty big project.
And in the hallway, I'm not quite sure what I'll end up needing to do on the walls. Right now, I have one wall with new drywall, one wall where the old drywall and shiplap have been partially removed, and two walls that still have the old drywall and shiplap.
But the hallway does have new drywall on the ceiling, and updated electrical (and I moved the bathroom light into the hallway, but haven't fully assembled it yet). Those were the big hurdles, so the wall situation seems pretty easy to handle. If they require new drywall, at least I know that's something I can do by myself. Right now, I really don't see a need to remove/replace the old drywall and shiplap on the two remaining walls. Hopefully I'll be able to leave those intact and work with them.
Anyway, I really can't tell you how freed up I feel about my house now. We didn't get all of the drywalling done that I wanted to do, but I have more than enough to keep me busy for quite a while.
Kristi, it looks amazing. I hope you feel refreshed and rejuvenated having so much of the stuff that is not fun completed!
The view looking towards the sliding doors and then the view from the music room into the "dining room" had me thinking about how amazing a black framed factory looking window would look next to your front door!
Cannot wait to see which direction you go!
What a huge accomplishment! Your FIL is awesome. Glad you are back, I missed you last week. Any news on the condo?
She went there all day, and is ready to start working on it.
Such a difference from the last post with the piles of ceiling debris – y'all got so much accomplished!
I am overwhelmed by the work you have ahead of you but thankfully you are not! As one of your dedicated readers I cannot wait to see the progress you make this week…if I know you it will be most rewarding and you will have much to share with us on your projects.
Did your paint have primer in it? If not, primer was vital on top of the wood And then paint. One never knows what the wood might have had on it. And then again, there is paint failure. I bought a can of Behr paint that did not have any pigment in it! The last attempts to do anything with Behr have been a total failure. So I will be going back to my good ol' Benjamin Moore or Valspar.
It's really hard to know without actually looking at it, but I do agree with Alma that it most likely comes down to the amount and type of prep work that was done before the paint went on. On wood surfaces, like furniture, cabinets, trim, doors, etc., I always, use an oil-based primer (Zinsser Cover Stain) before painting.
I am SO glad you are back and hard at it! I have missed your daily dose of inspiration and creativity! Seeing all that you have accomplished makes the wait worthwhile. Keep up all the good work–and I'm looking forward to the condo selling, so you can really blast away!
Kristi — I have that weird paper on the walls of my house. It peels off in huge chunks. But I don't have sheet rock paper in back of it. Mine is brown and I am pretty sure that is not paint but the color of the paper. Have no idea what it is. Thought maybe a liner. But at least mine isn't textured.
Great progress with your FIL and new contractor friend.
This brown paper is what is underneath the white layer of paper for all drywall/gypsum boards. All gypsum boards have several thin sheets of paper over the gypsum which is why its peeling off in layers and creating a teture, most people dont see this unless it starts to peel away like this. The top layer or so is always white to make it easy to paint.
So glad your FIL was able to help you get so much done!!! Big question for me that I can't seem to let go of – did you get your bathroom finished?
The bathroom is fully functional, but the decorative stuff isn't quite finished. I had hoped to get it done before he arrived, but just ran out of time. I still have about a week's worth of work on it.
Praises be to your FIL for his blessed visit. What progress! Yes, I pretty much thought of it as lipstick on a pig, also, as long as those ceilings were there. But I also knew you couldn't just live in it without making it liveable. Wish I had your energy.
So happy for your progress. What a blessing your FIL is! Lol, your pictures bring to mind the old saying, "you can't make an omelet without cracking some eggs". Now you can REALLY move forward! I too would love to have HALF your energy!
Thank goodness for your FIL! I know when I bought my first home (a 130 year old mansard roof 3 story) every room had those awful suspended ceilings. If that wasn't bad enough, they were all different heights. So you would go from the living room and feel like you needed to duck to go in the dining room. It was just a reaction to the different heights. I had the ceilings done first thing and it made the rest of the work go much easier. The house actually had 10 ft ceilings so the rooms looked so much bigger with the new ceilings. May you new ceilings prove to be uplifting to you and your wonderful imagination. Blessed Be.
Why do you want to sand the brown layer of paper that is left on the wall after removing the top layer? It might be a messy job. If you sprinkle it with water and let it soak for 5 minutes, it should be easy to scrape it off the walls.
I too have missed your daily posts of inspiration and creativity, but wow, that was a lot of hard and necessary work that your FIL helped you with in such a short time and now can't wait to see your creativity in putting the rooms together…..let the fun stuff begin!!
I wish I had been a fly on the wall when you and Matt found this house and listened to the "should we or shouldn't we buy it" discussions. Honestly, I would NOT have seen this beautiful potential and I'm usually really good at that!
Did you know how to determine whether the acoustic tiles had any asbestos? I have an almost equal problem with my laundry room and downstairs hallway. They have tons of acoustic tiles with tons of paint in them. I cannot cover them with drywall because the ceilings are too low.
Fortunately I didn't have any guesswork and didn't have to have them tested. There was an entire box of extra tiles left in the storage room at the back of the garage, and the were labeled. Mine were just made of polystyrene, like a Styrofoam cup.
Alma: I found a lab in my town that does testing, and took a piece of ceiling tile to her to test.
You may have a similar lab in your town.
So glad to hear from you Kristi! I bet this week will be an exciting adventure in home remodeling!
You and your FIL work well as a team. You always seem to accomplish a lot when he visits. Now you can go back to your list and work, work, work!
So we have had the courage to build an addition, but we never have gutted old areas in our home. So, with all the months of watching you gut the bathroom, and rip out ceilings and walls, we bit the bullet last weekend, and gutted our back entry way, ceramic floors, bathroom, tub toilet and vanity. Everything right back to the studs, and the ceiling tiles too.
I can't wait until my drywall, new floors, and new lighting is installed! We are going to try to do it all ourselves too!
Would it be possible to just prime those walls and skim-coat over that? Sure seems like a LOT of work and mess to remove the outer paper layers.. Love your blog; you inspire me!
OMG!!! You've done so much work! Now it looks amazing! Last year me and my husband, we bought a house which needed a lot of renovation. We are ready with the first floor where are the living room, the kitchen and one bathroom and now we should start with the second floor. The work is a lot but I am happy that I participate in every single renovation. I can call that house mine!
Just a very late tip (because you are probably very far into this room fix already) but try painting shellac over the brown paper. My husband found this trip after removing some wall paper that pulled off the drywall paper. Once you paint over it with shellac it will harden those little fibers that tend to come up and you can sand them smooth. Works like a charm without having to skim coat the whole thing.

I didn't come up with this amazing idea, I took it from another mother at church in my Mother's Club. The same mother who suggested I give the kids three gifts each Christmas, just like baby Jesus. Basically she made my life so much easier, I recommend taking advice from a seasoned mother any time you can. When I was super little my grandparents made baskets for my cousin and I and they were bigger, taller not larger, than we were. I loved all the little happies inside and hunting eggs in a pretty little dress with new shoes was truly the best. I remember the big gold egg and then noticing that my cousin seemed to find one as well, oh the little tricks we play to make everyone feel special.
And can we chat candy? I am a Peeps girl, always have been. I have one child that agrees with me and the rest hand them right over if they spot them in their baskets. I do not care for malted milk balls and most of the new jellybeans, just fill mine with Hershey's chocolate eggs, all the peanut butter eggs you can manage, and a chocolate bunny or two. I spotted some yummy salted caramel bunnies last week and those are most definitely making an appearance at our house. The sugar eggs that were large and pastel colors and individually wrapped still scare me to this day ... and I still tear up at a Russell Stovers nest ... although I swear they used to have tiny eggs inside. Didn't they?
When I was planning our Easter celebration I realized I truly missed opening a basket. Surely I am not the only one, right? So with that thought I put together a grown up girl basket shopping list for anyone who wishes to leave me a basket when they fill the kids. 😉 I have already shopped for the kids baskets and with the exception of a few special things I snagged it all at World Market. I spotted a great selection last month and just went ahead and made it happen. I guess that would be one more reason to fill a basket ... maybe a reward for being so ahead of the game?
Here you go ... such goodies that any lady would love to find stocked into their basket!
Please share where you found that adorable Easter basket.

Grounding meaning in experience: Spatial compatibility effects in word and sentence processing
Prof. Dr. Barbara Kaup, University of Tübingen, Germany
In language comprehension research many authors nowadays postulate that meaning is grounded in experience. The meaning representations that are utilized in linguistic cognition are considered to be similar in nature to those utilized in non-linguistic cognitive processes, such as perception, imagery or action planning: Comprehenders are assumed to mentally simulate the described objects, situations and events during linguistic processing (e.g., Barsalou, 2008; Fischer & Zwaan, 2008). According to this simulation view of language comprehension, each interaction with the world leaves experiential traces in the brain, and these are then partially re-activated when people later read or hear words referring to the respective entities. If words appear in larger phrases or sentences, the activated traces are presumably combined to yield simulations consistent with the meaning of the larger phrase or sentence (Zwaan & Madden 2005). Spatial attributes are crucial for almost all our daily experiences (Levinson 2003). It is, therefore, not surprising that much of the evidence in favor of the experiential-simulations view of language comprehension comes from studies investigating spatial aspects of experience.
In my talk I will report about an ongoing research project devoted to investigating the process of meaning composition in experiential-simulations during language comprehension. In particular, I will talk about a series of experiments in which implications of the experiential simulations view were investigated with respect to a spatial meaning dimension, namely the typical location of objects in vertical space. The experiments addressed word- as well as sentence processing. The results of these experiments will be discussed with respect to the question what role non-linguistic cognitive processes and representations play during language comprehension.

True change has very little in common with the flick of a light switch (or winning an election).
Yes, the light goes on, but it goes off just as easily – there is no stickiness or real shift. It's just on, off, on, off. True change is much more like a journey. When you know the phases of change, you can bring awareness to where you're currently stuck and make conscious choices to continue to move forward.
What if you're instigating a career change or moving overseas or your organization was acquired? Even more relevant for so many now is moving forward when your candidate lost the election? Certainly, the answer is not to just roll over with passive acceptance. You can and must empower yourself to navigate your personal leadership journey through the change and use it as a catalyst for transformation.
I've been a change practitioner for over 20 years and strongly believe that there are things you can do to accelerate your personal change journey through each of the phases of change. Like all journeys, the change journey begins and ends with you moving. Body, heart, mind and soul all need to make the shift.
This is where it all starts – you make a move either by choice or a force outside of your control.
This is the easiest shift to make regardless of logistical complexity. In this phase, you're moving from point A to point B.
My client moved from the suburbs to the City to double down on his commitment not only to his day job, but also his passion as a photographer of people in urban settings.
Another client's company was acquired, and she had to leave her comfortable office she'd been working out of for years into a shared space.
Yet another had to reschedule countless meetings and immediately travel home to be with her father in the last days of his life.
A to B can have a zillion details to juggle. Put them all on a checklist and work through it.
Change is rarely easy even when you ace the logistics. You will likely feel a sense of loss regardless if you're moving towards something wonderful or facing an unplanned tribulation.
There's no need to push down the emotions that keep bubbling up during your change. You need to feel them and engage with them before you can let them go and move forward. It's also essential to identify the core of the emotion. What is it about the change that's leading to the most upset? Often, the heart of the emotional distress is masked or suppressed. Other times, the cause is clear. The bottom line is that smart leaders are unafraid to get to what's underneath.
Coming face-to-face with emotion may make you feel weak or stupid or less masterful because it's outside of your safety zone. So what? It's essential for you to reframe that thought. Emotions are the heartbeat of life.
My client Jackie was a seasoned executive on her way from Senior Director to Vice President. We worked together to accelerate her success and promotion timeline.
A week prior to our scheduled call, Jackie found out that her son had an illness that would require ongoing care. True to form, she quickly put a plan in place but at the office was struggling to maintain her focus. She was also short tempered with her team which was out of character; they were driving her nuts. Jackie realized that her team didn't dramatically shift their performance in a week but that something else was happening with her.
At the start of our session, Jackie asked if we could talk about something personal, her son. For our hour together she worked through the rawness of her son's new reality and was able to begin to assimilate her feelings. Almost immediately she was able to take a deep breath and get back on track with her critical work projects too.
Jackie was not a corporate zombie, but a leader with a full life. In her effort to segment, she stopped herself from accepting her child's health issue and was unable to remain on target at work. As I often tell clients, half a person can't be a whole leader.
Take a beat and find a trusted advisor, mentor, coach or friend and be with the emotions you're experiencing – the whole crazy messy lot of them. Emotions indicate aliveness and a human rawness. If you don't want to talk it through, write about your emotions in a journal. Getting to the root of your emotional distress puts you in control instead of at emotion's whim. You choose how, but get the feelings on the table instead of packed way in a suitcase and stored in a closet only to be reopened days, weeks or months later.
Longing for the status quo of the past won't bring it back. This is the phase where you make the mental leap from the old to the new. Unless you mindfully engage in your present circumstances, you'll never fully cross the divide.
After an acquisition, I had a client tell me in every single coaching session that the new company couldn't hold a candle to the old organization. His headspace never left his old paradigm which left little room to embrace the new. He sat in the new building, had a new salary, new boss, and new colleagues, but all of that wasn't enough for him to make the change from an employee of Company X to Company Z.
Here in my small community, there are other American families. Some of them order a huge number of groceries and cleaning supplies and have them shipped from the USA to Australia each month. I've decided that I live here and while it's unfamiliar, I can make the leap to buying my necessities at the local store. It's a small action that demonstrates a commitment to current circumstances.
Bring a heightened awareness to when you're choosing to live life and exercise your personal leadership like a temp. It's through this awareness you'll make dozens of new choices a day that enables you to make a lasting change. You owe it to your spouse, friends, family, colleagues, customers and your organization to be invested today.
For some of you this phase may call forth religious spirituality, and for others, it's more of a sense of connection to something bigger than you. Either way, in this phase of change you are stepping into a space that ultimately brings you a sense of peace and purpose.
Let go and accept where you are.
Let go and trust you will figure things out.
Let go and believe in what's possible.
Let go of your constant comparisons.
Let go of what is keeping you handcuffed to the past.
Let go and ignite your purpose.
When you let go, it's when you're able to go all in. There's no more resistance, but instead moving forward in your relationships with faith, hope, positivity and resilience.
However, let me be clear that letting go does not mean giving up. This phase is where the spark inside of you purposefully becomes a fire that ignites broader change.
My client saw that his current organization, that he loved, was ultimately not committed to his success. The poor cultural fit limited his impact and crushed his spirit. He came to me after he found a new job (made the physical move), had mourned that his dream job wasn't such a dream (emotional phase), and mentally shifted his mindset to creating success in his new industry. He also was on the edge of investing a large sum of money in his side hustle.
Did he make millions? No. Did he make the leap with both peace and possibility in his heart? You bet.
Once you find peace with what is, and are no longer mourning the loss of the past, you can powerfully create your future.
Of course, there is always scaffolding present as well – not one of us makes a change in isolation. Hope, relationships, positivity and resilience are critical components to any successful change journey.


This toolbox is a collection of Matlab tools that I used, adapted or developed during my PhD and post-doc work with the Besicos group at University of Zaragoza, Spain and at the National Technological University of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The ECG-kit has tools for reading, processing and presenting results, as you can see in the documentation or in these demos on Youtube.
a2hbc and EP limited heartbeat classifiers.
And other scritps for inspecting, correcting and reporting all these results.
with the same application programmer interface (API) directly in Matlab, under Windows, Linux or Mac. The kit also implements a recording interface which allows processing several ECG formats, such as HL7-aECG, MIT, ISHNE, HES, Mortara, and AHA, of arbitrary recording size (the record so far is a 1 week recording of 3 leads, sampled at 500 Hz).
This kit also includes many open-source projects such as WFDB Toolbox for MATLAB and Octave from Physionet, PRtools, Libra, export_fig from undocumented Matlab, and other open-source scripts that have their proper references to the original projects or authors.

Q: Why does LDAP authentication fail after upgrading from Artifactory Pro 6.23.7 to 7.12.6? We are currently running Artifactory Pro 6.23.7 in production using the Docker setup and would like to upgrade to Artifactory Pro 7.12.6.
To test this I created a clone of the production VM and followed the upgrade instructions here. Artifactory starts successfully, but when trying to login with my LDAP user I get several errors in the logs such as
2021-01-20T10:34:25.910Z [jfac ] [INFO ] [25da744de0923216] [j.a.s.s.t.TokenServiceImpl:438] [27.0.0.1-8040-exec-3] - Deleted 1 tokens with user: 'sebastian.gerau' and scope 'authentication:remember-me'.

I also see a popup with the message "This request is blocked due to recurrent login failures, please try again in # seconds."
It's possible to login using the local admin user. Doing so I was able to confirm that the LDAP configuration does indeed match that of the production system and that a LDAP connection test succeeds with the exact same user that failed during login.
The questions are:

*

*Has anyone encountered the same or a similar issue when upgrading from 6.x to 7.x?

*What could cause this behavior, i.e. the connection
test succeeds but login fails - all with the same user?

*What would cause these recurrent login failures?

I tried adding the search filter (mentioned in the log output), checked the LDAP logs (all looks good there), and even deleted and recreated the LDAP config from scratch. Nothing seems to change the behavior. Also, there is nothing in the service logs that would indicate a problem.

A: I had the same problem with the OSS version.  So I downloaded the source and found this snippet:
    private boolean validateLdapSettings(LdapSetting ldapSetting) {
        if (ldapSetting == null) {
            log.warn("No LDAP settings defined.");
            return false;
        }
        if (!ldapSetting.isEnabled()) {
            log.warn("LDAP settings not enabled.");
            return false;
        }
        if (ldapSetting.getSearch() == null || isBlank(ldapSetting.getSearch().getSearchFilter())) {
            log.warn("No search filter defined.");
            return false;
        }
        return true;
    }

Clearly the search filter is the culprit.  It has apparently become non-optional.
So I added the catch-all: (objectClass=*) as a search filter.  And now another error turned up:
2021-02-01T10:14:33.583Z [jfrt ] [WARN ] [1543ce38d0eaacb5] [o.a.s.l.LdapServiceImpl:208   ] [http-nio-8081-exec-9] - Unexpected exception in LDAP query: for user: 'niklas' vid LDAP: [LDAP: error code 50 - Insufficient Access Rights]; nested exception is javax.naming.NoPermissionException: [LDAP: error code 50 - Insufficient Access Rights]; remaining name '/'

This time I needed to check at the LDAP server end, and it seems the validation is done as a separate request with starting from the top level, where, true enough, the users don't have permission .  So, add a base where they do, for me that was ou=accounts.  A new error!
2021-02-01T10:29:02.963Z [jfrt ] [WARN ] [76943ac7c75c40f2] [o.a.s.l.LdapServiceImpl:208   ] [http-nio-8081-exec-6] - Unexpected exception in LDAP query: for user: 'niklas' vid LDAP: Incorrect result size: expected 1, actual 57

So the search filter must be limited to only find the user entry.  so I changed it to be (uid={0})
TADA!  Now it worked.

In this previous article we looked at jQuery Mobile and how it can be used to build mobile applications. Of course there is more to the story. Model-View-Controller (MVC) is probably one of the most quoted patterns in the web programming world in recent years. I am sure that anyone working in anything related to web application development has heard or read the acronym hundreds of times. In this post we will take a look at the architectural patterns for MVC and how ASP.NET MVC 4 combines the power of MVC and jQuery Mobile.
The Model-View-Controller architectural pattern divides the application into three main components, each one in charge of different aspects.
A View is a collection of classes representing the elements in the user interface. Essentially, the View provides different ways to present the data received from the model.
Receives user requests and calls appropriate resources to carry them out.
A Controller represents the classes connecting the model and the view and is used to communicate between classes. The Controller manages requests. These are received as HTTP Get or Post requests then user clicks a GUI element to perform actions. Its main function is to call and coordinate the necessary resources and objects needed to perform the user action.
First, if you are running Visual Studio 2010 you will want to visit the ASP.NET MVC 4 Web Site (http://www.asp.net/mvc/mvc4) to download and install the MVC 4 for Visual Studio 2010. If you are running Visual Studio 2012 it should already be included. Once the installation complete, lets create a new application using the following steps.
1. In Visual Studio 2010 select File, then click New Project as shown in the following screenshot.
2. In the New project dialog in the Installed Templates list select Web, then select the ASP.NET MVC 4 Web Application and then click Ok as shown in the following screenshot.
3. In the New ASP.NET MVC 4 Project dialog in the Select a template window select Mobile application, in the View Engine dropdown select Razor and then select Ok as shown in the following screenshot.
If you are looking for additional information on using Razor with Kentico CMS 7, take a look at Using MVC Razor with Kentico CMS 7.
Now that the project is created lets take a look at the Solution explorer to understand the project structure as shown in the following screenshot.
With the project started we can see it as shown in the following screenshot.
As we have seen jQuery Mobile is a light and elegant library that takes full advantage of HTML 5 and CSS so that we can have small and more maintainable code base. The combination of MVC 4 and jQuery offers a fantastic start for building your application.
Hi Thom, yes I went though everything I could find on MVC with Kentico. I had a good email exchange with one of your support guys too. It seems we cannot do what we want so we'll have to make some other decisions re the Architecture. In any case we can stick with the aspx model in the short term. I had my own MVC template engine similar to Razor a few years before that came out so I may see what I can come up with calling into the various engines directly. If I come up with omething elegant, I'll let the community know.
Thanks for the comments. Not that it answers your entire question but have you taken a look at Martin's blog post on Razor - http://devnet.kentico.com/Blogs/Martin-Hejtmanek/October-2012/Using-MVC-Razor-With-Kentico-CMS-7.aspx?
I've only just started with Kentico (3 days now) and we'd like to rearchitect our applications to use MVC however despite comments on various posts going back to pre v6.0 about rendering content from Kentico into razor views (cshtml) being possible by v7, this still seems to not be possible in v7.
What we don't want to do is have to recreate html outside of the CMS which I see others are doing.
From what I can see I'd need to use aspx for my views in order to use the CMS controls to get at the content. My intial hopes were that I could stick an MVC app in front of Kentico and use the API to pull the content but this was not possible either, the goal being to just pass through processing of any urls I did not want to handle essentially allowing the MVC application to control the entry point into the application and for the static content to be handled by Kentico in it's entirety. It seems to me this model should be quite easy to implement for Kentico.
Then I looked at using MVC controllers but your examples merely pull the data from page components such as the very simple news example and uses separate html to render them. This also means I would need to duplicate the master page or call the MVC content using Ajax and render into the master page. Your example doesn't even address the limitations of the example dropping all of the login and header functionality from the master page.
Am I missing something? Because from what I can see, even with v7, MVC is almost useless if you cannot duplicate HTML content outside of the CMS due to business requirements.
If I could render into views then I would at least be able to create Controllers that bind at runtime and use them inside another MVC project that allows us to do all of our TDD and Unit testing.
Any comments on when the talked about (for a while) support would be available would be greatly appreciated. From what I see in Kentico, I really like the ease with which I can build the sites, it just doesn't seem to meet the goals of being useable with MVC and pretty much forces us to stay with the aspx model.
MVC 4 is Latest Version of asp.net platform.and now a days its useful everywhere.fore mobile development its features is very useful.

You do not see the pain from labored days.
Praying for a good day and avoiding fate.
You do not see so much in photos shared.
You do see however, how much we cared.
The summer was hot for my brother and me.
only in the 3rd grade, stringy hair, and bone skinny.
and fire ants crawl across the back yard picnic table.
shelling peas and shucking corn looking at the full baskets.
We were children, wanting to play, but could not.
we were forced to share the candy beads with others.
where spiders and darkness surrounded the old yard dog escaping the heat.
as we trampled quickly so not to stand long enough for our feet to burn.
We were children, responding to a situation we did not chose.
a basket of hulls already shelled by our tire-sore child-like hand .
I will never forget the sound of my brother in the room beside mine.
a sound that made my skin crawl and my ears hurt.
Equally I will not forget the sound I did not hear.
To my daughter and all the long conversations we would have in the morning before starting our day.

Azure of the Cimarron
By: P E Morgan
Azure of the Cimarron is set in a world that makes use of the full potential of discoveries made in the opening years of the 20th century. Lighter than air airships and steam powered conveyances are common place, while the Wright Brother's first flight is remembered as nothing more than a historic curiosity. Against this backdrop, the story focuses on the adventures of Henrietta Whitfield, the future Duchess of Azure. She began her life as an American tomboy born to English parents living in New York. When her grandfather and uncles unexpectedly die, her father inherits a title. He became an Earl and his daughter, at twelve, became Lady Henrietta. The bright and inquisitive girl chaffed under restrictions placed on her by society. She remained determined to join the ranks of the great explores and even tried to join the Royal Navy. Her efforts to have a life of adventure were all in vain, until her fabulously wealthy American Uncle gives her the chance of a lifetime. Thanks to him, she gains an officers berth aboard his great new airship named the Lady Cimarron. Sadly, war in Europe erupts. In a desperate gamble to save Great Britain from invasion, the airship and Lady Henrietta are drawn into the service of the Crown. Danger, intrigue and romance will be her constant companions as her story unfolds.

Sony Alpha ILCE-7S III – Imagination in Motion
Highly Anticipated Sony Alpha 7S III
The Camera that Exceeds your Expectation
"Wow, shooting with the Alpha 7SIII before launch is a dream come true. Finally a body that does it all! I am beyond excited"
– Jacques Crafford, South Africa, Sony Alpha Ambassador & Filmmaker
When I got the call from Sony to shoot with the new A7s III pre-launch, I first did 10 back flips and then ran around the house twice – I was ecstatic.
The brief was simple, create something epic that will illustrate the powerful features of the camera and being able to choose the location, I opted for the place I love the most, the mountains!
The concept I focused on was based on the backdrop of months in lock down, stuck at home and then the feeling of finally being able to get out, exercise and explore the great outdoors. When our President announced that restrictions on exercise be lifted, I felt like a naughty pet whose owners had left the gate open – I just wanted to run and explore – and this feeling of relief and pure elation is what I wanted to convey.
The video is titled "No Limits" for two reasons: Number 1 because in the midst of a pandemic "no limits" is the one thing everyone is desperate for – to feel like anything is possible and not be restricted in any way, and the second reason is because it felt like this camera has no limits! From recording time to pushing the grade in post, I'm absolutely blown away by what they've accomplished here.
I shot most of the film handheld and I didn't use any artificial light because I wanted to illustrate what's possible with the bare minimum. The only additional gear I used was a Gimbal and a 5-in-1 reflector. I'm in awe of the new colour & the dynamic range of this camera. Add the high frame rates and insane low light and I think this is the camera everyone has been waiting for!
"The New Alpha 7SIII takes your creative expression to a level beyond your imagination"
-Ian Nieuwenhuizen, South Africa Sony Alpha Ambassador, Wedding Videographer, Filmmaker, Founder of WMC
Ever since we purchased our first Sony body in 2016 (A7SII) we were sold. It totally changed the way we shoot.
I was in the front lines of fans eagerly awaiting the release of the A7SIII when we got the news that we would be of the first to get our hands on one and get a chance to shoot with it!
We have never backed out of a challenge, so the 6 day time frame was not going to put us off. We decided on a concept, phoned around for a couple to use as models and drove our core team down to Cape Town – hoping for great weather and feeling super excited and privileged to be able to go on such an adventure,albeit two days of work and 3 days of travel, we were like animals released from their cages into the wild.
We were briefed about the specs beforehand, but I think nothing beats experiencing it all for yourself. The Eye – AF was one of the first things to really impress me, as was the Active Steady. In our context as wedding and commercial cinematographers who mostly follow a run and gun approach, it means we can really put away our gimbles for good.
Thirdly I was infinitely impressed with the colour science. The s-log3 image with a basic grade looked amazing with very little effort. Skin tones were next level!
I think the Sony A7SIII is a game changer. In two days it changed the game for me personally. The creative expression that this camera will make possible, is definitely next level.

Giving customers what they want is a way to succeed in 2019.
Any business built for sustainable long-term success should live and die for its customers. When it comes to taking care of them, business owners and managers in 2019 will have little room for error. In a world full of online reviews, mobile updates and social sharing, your reputation can be tarnished by just one bad customer experience. As we look ahead toward the New Year, is your business prepared to give customers what they want?


Over the years, I have worked with many people who have carried deep woundedness from significant losses in this and/or other lives. My personal story has also contained that theme. The focus of the experience is usually on the loss, the trauma of the way it happened, the lonely or empty feelings that remain, and the inability to open or trust again. The losses can be relational, professional, physical (as in injury or death), spiritual (faith or dreams), or material (possessions, home). They can be reflected in feelings of grief, fear of separation or abandonment, blame of self or others, fear of trying new things, vigilant fear of being hurt again, fear of success or joy, powerlessness, fierce independence or over-responsibility, hopelessness, pessimism, inability to ask for what you want or need, anger, frustration, or attempts to control outcomes of just about anything that affects one's personal experience. Within duality, the way the experiences of loss are interpreted is based on the premise that something or someone external to me is responsible for my joy, fulfillment, success, peace, well-being, support (emotional and/or financial), or health. The logic within this premise thus concludes that without that something or someone, our joy, etc. is diminished or impossible.
In the healing process, after releasing the trauma and restoring integrity to the chakra and energetic body, I gently begin to ask people to consider another way of seeing their experiences. Rather than focusing only on the end result of loss and pain, look at what your soul intended to create during the experience. The soul's job is to evolve and strengthen soul qualities and capacities for the purpose of adding to the whole of creation. It does this by orchestrating experiences that do just that. If that growth or learning became tied to memories of loss when there was a change of focus, that can result in a soul wound that continues to play itself out in life, i.e. every time I learn or grow something on a soul level, I create a painful ending. It also leaves a large unconscious hidden reservoir of unharvested soul capacities and gifts. For example, if you were in love with someone and felt as if you were more alive and creative than ever before, the aliveness and creativity are illustrations of your soul's capacity to bring those qualities into living expression. The other person within the relationship may have felt a deep union and healed some old trauma. These learnings or capacities remain even if the relationship dissolves. Because of that experience, each of their souls have an expanded capacity for creating even greater experiences of aliveness, creativity, union, or wholeness, unless they choose to interpret the loss of the relationship through one of the many lenses duality provides. Then there is an even greater loss.
By choosing to step into a different relationship with our own memories, the focus of experience and creation shifts from loss and lack to harvest and fullness. The process also begins to move a person across the bridge from the matrix of duality into the matrix of creation. The feeling is very different. On one side, someone else's decisions, opinions, or influences determine our experience and we stand in reaction. As we look at the experience as our own soul's creation and consciously acknowledge our soul qualities and capacities, we can choose to plant those in the soil of creation and begin to actively participate in co-creating our experiences from the inside out. Harvesting from our past experiences is like allowing fresh spring water to flow into and replenish a dried up well (which has often manifested as debt, exhaustion, or endless longing). Once we gather all that is ours to reap, then we stand with an abundant repertoire and reservoir of possibility. We create from a position of fullness and begin to know that as our baseline experience.
What if fullness is the foundation of all experience and that awareness is intimately woven within the living light that is the everflowing current of creation? This is the question I have been playing with the past couple of months. The first thing I have noticed is that I can switch my perception of any experience with a single choice to focus into the field of creation. That awareness fills me with a sense of life, joy, and a range of frequencies and qualities within creation that are available to me. Sometimes, I do not have any idea of what to do, but I can ask the field to create the highest possible experience in that and every moment for everyone and every aspect of creation that is affected. The first practice is to remember to choose to step into the new matrix so to open the possibilities beyond the familiar reactions within duality.
I yet feel very novice-like in this field of creation. I can open up the experience, but then what? If I am clear about a direction for creating an experience, I can also hook it up to the living current and begin acting in accordance with what my part is in bringing it into form. But if I don't have a clear direction, I am finding it helpful to consciously seed some of the "harvested" soul qualities and capacities. Love, joy, freedom, union, self-love, balance, fearlessness, fullness, ecstasy, playfulness, etc. not tied to any particular person or circumstance, just the experience as I was able to feel, know, and express it. In certain areas of my life, I have been matching the harvested experiences with the old manifestations of lack or fear of loss. In those areas, I plant the seeds of fullness with the anticipation of creating that experience in that place. I don't yet have a picture of what will grow there, but I have plenty of seeds! I stand willing to receive into awareness any unharvested memories or beliefs that are creating the current experience of lack, etc. Yet my focus is increasingly on the fullness growing in that place in the garden of life allowing the living field and its frequencies to transmute the rest.
This practice is also altering my perception of desire. Desire is by definition an experience of wanting something that we currently don't have. It is how we have motivated ourselves in duality. But what if our baseline is fullness and we are creating out of an ever-replenishing current? Then, instead of desiring something from a place of emptiness, everything feels full and already pulsing with life, yet unmanifest. The experience is one of bringing the soul's limitless awareness, qualities, and capacities into ever greater manifested expressions in form, Light within Life. Perceived desires, seeking, or needs with their sense of longing, impatience, or drive is not the name I would give any experience within this field. Instead, there is an excitement not unlike a child waiting for Christmas. All those packages already lying under the tree, but not knowing what the gifts inside look like. Motivation has for so long been a matter of becoming aware of those desires, questions, or needs, that this is a bit disconcerting at first. I know that when I consciously focus my attention within this field of living awareness, everything feels different. Everyday, I grasp a little more of how it is different and how to be Creator within creation.
As I expand upon the personal experience of this shift, I can also see how the grand experiment here in Earth has been to seed all the aspects of universal consciousness within a matrix of duality that could build energy, and evolve a conscious species, humanity, to birth a whole new matrix for consciousness. First, humans would be unconscious, trusting the Mother planet for their sustenance (age of hunting and agriculture). Then they would evolve conscious mental awareness of the differences and uniqueness of each of the aspects, creating every variety of experience possible within the basic premise of self vs. other. But within the plan from the beginning were the seeds of a new consciousness, one that would harvest the best of each facet or aspect of consciousness while discarding the matrix and forms that grew them. When a sufficient number of individuals birthed within duality could unify and integrate the aspects they chose to carry within the whole while precisely synchronized with the planetary gestation time for this consciousness to be complete, then the birthing of the new matrix for creation would take place.
I believe this birthing has already happened, perhaps during the Grand Cross Eclipse this past August. It has been since that time that I have sensed the field pulsing with many more people actively aware of this new feeling, even if they are not able to speak of it. Many more are on the threshold, and still more on the bridge, or open to crossing. And then there are those still fighting to keep the old matrix alive with its familiar way of creating what has become dogmatized as truth. An interesting time indeed!
During a very powerful experience recently with a Master Teacher who came to assist me with this shift, I was told to focus on sustaining the frequencies of joy while in the field of creation. If we can sustain these frequencies in our field for extended periods of time, specific qualities of Living Light begin to transmute the basic codes of life. These codes are written in the DNA of our cells and the molecular make-up of every aspect of physically manifest life. We can transform, quite literally, our molecular structure and the way molecules of consciousness vibrate and communicate with each other. That is my practice, and I put less and less attention on any forms of change that come from a stance within duality. They may be effective in some ways, but the scope of the possibilities for transformation in this new field of conscious creation are vast beyond comprehension. It is our privilege to have been given the opportunity to grow capacities of consciousness capable of birthing this new field of creation into living expression. Harvest your gifts, release the rest for transmutation freeing the energy for use in this pulsing new field of possibilities. Alomaha!

Casimir-Amable Testard de Montigny (June 2, 1787 – January 10, 1863) was a businessman and politician in Quebec. He represented Effingham in the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada from 1824 to 1827.

He was born in Montreal, the son of Louis-Étienne Testard de Montigny who was the grandson of Jacques Testard de Montigny, and Louise-Archange Gamelin, dit Gaucher. He was educated at the Séminaire de Notre-Dame and the Petit Séminaire de Montréal. He became involved in the fur trade, establishing a small settlement on the Rivière du Nord which eventually became Saint-Jérôme. Testard de Montigny was married twice: to Marthe Godon in 1815 and to Marie-Louise Allaire in 1855. He served as a major in the militia and a commissioner for small causes. Testard de Montigny remained loyal to the government during the Lower Canada Rebellion and was imprisoned by the Patriotes in 1837. He served on the municipal council for Terrebonne County from 1849 to 1851. Testard de Montigny died in Saint-Jérôme at the age of 75.

His daughter Marguerite-Olive married Jean-Baptiste Lefebvre de Villemure.

Liberia: Can Dr. Moniba Change 2023 Presidential Race?
He was the youngest cabinet member of the previous administration. His roles included serving as the youngest Minister of State w/o Portfolio in Liberia's history; serving as the youngest Chairman of the Liberia Electricity Corporation in Liberia's history, and serving as head of the President's Delivery Unit, which oversaw project implementation throughout the country.
Last week, the 43-year-old Dr. Clarence Moniba re-entered the national stage with a big statement, pulling two massive rallies with thousands of people in attendance in both Margibi and Central Monrovia, while declaring his bid for the presidency in the 2023 elections. All of this, according to a press release, was done after his much-talked-about tour of his home county of Lofa.
Announcing his intentions on national radio on Thursday, January 20th, Dr. Moniba stated: "We must decide what type of nation we want to live in; what type of standards we want to set for ourselves; and what type of dreams we want to invest in that will ensure Liberia is the greatest country on the African continent," he said.
He went on to further state that Liberians "must believe that change is here and, in this New Liberia, we will have practical change that will be both seen and felt."
He mentioned that he is qualified for the position of President because of three specific reasons. His education claims that he is the most educated presidential candidate in the history of Liberia having earned two Masters, one in Government and another in Public Administration, and a Ph.D. in Professional Communications.
He touted his experience, having worked at the Liberian Embassy in Washington DC, the United Nations and African Development Banks High-Level Panels, and served at some of the highest levels in the previous administration including the youngest cabinet member at the end of the Sirleaf Administration.
Lastly, he highlighted his character, definitively stating that, like his father, the late former Vice President Dr. Harry F. Moniba, under the Samuel Kanyon Doe regime, "Not one single individual that I have worked with, interacted or negotiated with, both here locally and abroad, will tell you that I have asked for, received, or even suggested any wrongdoing."
In his appeal to the younger generation, Moniba said that his age of 43 years was a powerful tool that will propel Liberia into the future. He claimed that the Liberian people should "use my age as proof that there is a new breed of Liberian leaders who will have the energy, the strength, the determination and vision to carry out the transformation of this country."
The question now remains: can Moniba change the dynamics of this year's presidential race, which up until now has seemed to be focused on three primary candidates?
Will he be able to maintain the initial momentum and excitement that he has enjoyed over the last month in order to become a serious factor?

** Emma is probably my least favorite Austen book. I've read it before but it was a real struggle because she's so gosh-darn annoying. But I'm really enjoying Emma Approved (although it's not quite at the level of The Lizzie Bennett Diaries - see delicious icon), so I'm going to see if I can use that as extra motivation. Otherwise, I have a planned reread of Sanderson's Elantris ready to go as backup.

There are many types of reader glasses you can buy in Schaumburg including reading sunglasses. If you are new to needing to have eyeglasses for reading or close work, then you will probably need a pair of men's or women's reading glasses. After you have experienced readers, you may be looking for something a bit more specific to your use in Illinois.
As we age, our eyes have more difficulty focusing properly on various distances, a problem called presbyopia. Bifocals help people who have difficulty with near- and farsightedness with lenses that come with two distinct optical strengths – one for long range, one for close work.
Protecting your eye sight while outside is very important and is especially crucial if you are reading a book or magazine in the bright sunlight. There are reader sunglasses that you can get that will protect your eyes against page glare. They are likewise offered in many attractive styles so that you can indulge in the most recent novel at the shore without compromising your fashion sense.
Bifocal reader sunglasses are also available in many styles and colors. They have the dual advantage of allowing you to read in the sunlight and delight in the views without switching to normal sunglasses.
Magnetic readers, also called Clics, split up at the bridge and magnetically reattach at the bridge. These have a built in glasses keeper that enables them to drape around your neck for convenience. Clics are the solution to always having your reading glasses nearby even though you don't have a pocket to put them in.
When you don't have much space, folding readers are the solution. These small folding reader glasses fit in a small evening bag or pocket and are clever alternatives that generally have a mini carrying case that fits in practically just about anywhere.
Also named trifocals, progressive reading glasses have several strengths all in just one pair. These have no visible lines and allow the wearer to see properly regardless if they are carrying out close work, intermediate range work or need to see clearly at a distance.
Readers can be bought at most any price point from $1 to hundreds of dollars for designer reading glasses. In case you are only beginning to need reading glasses, your eye specialist may advise you to get cheap readers until your eyesight weakens to the point where you need custom made reading glasses.
The drawbacks of cheap readers are that the frames are normally not cool and trendy, both lenses have the same correction and the optical center of the lenses is not precisely tailored to your eyes. Should you experience headaches, nausea or notice considerable eye strain, it is best to check with your eye health specialist to determine if you might need to progress to a custom prescription pair of readers.
Reading glasses especially engineered for computer displays are referred to as computer glasses. Computer screens emit blue light which may be harmful to your eyes just like UV rays can. If you work in front of computer screens throughout the day, or you are worried about the consequences of blue light on your children's eyes, you should get these types of "blue blockers". Both prescription or non-prescription computer readers include basic anti-reflective lenses to reduce eye strain and give 100% UV shielding.
The best men's reading glasses and the best women's reading glasses in Schaumburg, IL are the ones that give you the clear vision you look for with none of the downsides. Headaches, eye fatigue and blurry vision are indicators that you don't have the right glasses to do the job right. Take your time picking out your Reading Sunglasses and you will find the best solution to better reading vision.
