What is microcopy? It is the smallest piece of content on your website or app. Microcopy can be text-based or visual. Text-based includes buttons, calls to action, error messages and forms. Visual microcopy focuses on images and videos.
Microcopy needs to be easy to understand, short and draws the user in. It should guide the user and help them to understand how to use your website or app.
What can you do to improve your microcopy?
Does your copy sound conversational or like a marketer? If it sounds like a marketer, change the words. You want to write copy with the same words that your users use.
Write short and helpful sentences, not paragraphs. If you need more than 8 words to explain what the users need to do, rewrite it.
Nothing is more annoying than confusing or cryptic error messages. Let your users know how to fix the problem. Take the time to write simple and easy to understand error messages.
Your microcopy should anticipate user questions. Use clear labels and descriptions in forms to minimize data entry problems. Let them know why you require certain pieces of information.
Your microcopy can use your brand voice. The trick is to know when to use it and when not to. Some situations require clear and simple language.

While ideas were being fielded for an attraction to bring people back to downtown Las Vegas, Steve Wynn contributed an idea to the mix, suggesting they should create canals to give it more of a Venice feel.
In addition to the many things we've pointed to as reasons why Cosmopolitan is our favorite property to stay at is it's ability to create unique spaces that pictures just don't seem to do justice to. The view from the room balconies, the Chandelier Bar and the Blvd Pool are all examples of the larger than life experiences that inspire awe when in their midst. Thanks to @CrystlMeatballs for sharing, without a doubt, the best picture of the Chandelier Bar at Cosmopolitan I've ever seen and the closest to replicate the feeling of seeing it for the first time.


A beautiful thatched pub on the top of Arreton Downs and overlooking Robin Hill Country Park. Very much family oriented with an extensive menu including a wide range of vegetarian options and a healthy comprehensive children's menu. We also have a children's outdoor play area.

Pickleball, with its growing popularity, is making a big splash this summer during a two-day tournament and fundraiser called the Cleveland Paddle Rattle, with all proceeds going to benefit Family Cornerstones.
Taking place May 10 and 11 at the College Hill Recreation Center, the event will feature mixed doubles starting at 6:30 p.m. on the 10th, with men's and women's doubles at 9 a.m. on the 11th.
The event was Family Cornerstones director of development Kathy Davini's idea. She was trying to think outside the box, and felt pickleball was the perfect choice since the city has been investing in numerous courts for the growing sport, and because of its popularity with senior citizens.
Family Cornerstones executive director Chrissy Pugh said she's hoping the event will become an annual occurrence, bringing in curious attendees and pickleball fans from across the country to explore both Cleveland and its downtown area, thus benefitting the Cleveland/Bradley Chamber of Commerce as well.
Pickleball is played on a court the size of a badminton court, meaning smaller than an average tennis court. Players use paddles similar to ping-pong equipment to hit a ball across the low net, which is set up like a tennis court.
Pugh said the reason the sport is so popular with the elderly is because of its mental demands rather than physical. Since a pickleball court is smaller than a tennis court, it requires far less running.
Players can either choose singles or doubles in ordinary play, but the Cleveland Paddle Rattle is exclusively devoted to doubles.
At the moment, there are approximately 100 members on the Cleveland Pickleball mailing list. The Cleveland Family YMCA has several pickleball courts, and the College Hill Recreation Center has some as well.
According to Davini, the city is also planning to invest in some outdoor pickleball courts.
Chattanooga has a fairly well-established pickleball following, but for the Cleveland Paddle Rattle, residents are coming from Cleveland, Chattanooga, Tellico, Athens, Crossville and all over Southeast Tennessee.
Family Cornerstones has heavily marketed the event and Stack Southern Bistro is featuring a "Pickleball Burger" for its Friday night kick off meet-and-greet.
Stacy Allison is over the Cleveland Pickleball mailing list, and has been pushing the Paddle Rattle through word of mouth. Shenka Jones, director of the College Hill center is doing the same. Chuck Condo, a pickleball player on the event's planning team has helped with marketing efforts.
"College Hill has been great to work with. Since they already have funding, we here at Family Cornerstones have been able to get 100 percent of all registration fees. It's been a great fundraiser for us, and Kathy Davini has reached out to numerous places to get items for our silent auction," Pugh said.
The silent auction begins on Family Cornerstones' website on May 6, this way people who aren't playing in the tournament or who can't make it to the tournament will still be able to bid on items. The auction will last all week then carry over into the tournament, where all items will be on display, thus serving as the attendants' last chance to bid before a winner is named.
Some of the auction items include $50 Red Ribbon gift cards, two Dollywood tickets, four golf passes at the Cleveland Country Club, a free night at the Drury Inn, four passes to World of Coke in Atlanta and several other varying items.
There are over 70 players registered, with at least half from Cleveland. Pugh said the Cleveland pickleball players have been incredibly supportive, as have our mayors.
Early registered players will get a goody bag filled with a T-shirt, coupons and items from downtown businesses, which Pugh says will entice those in-town and from out of town to visit our downtown area.
The Cleveland/Bradley Chamber of Commerce is the Paddle Rattle's sponsor for this year.
"Pickleball is a very interesting and fun sport to watch. If you've never seen the game played, there is no charge for admission, so this is a great opportunity to watch the game and learn about it," Pugh said.
Entry fees for players are $35. If they want to do both mixed doubles and men's/women's doubles, the cost is $40. A meet-and-greet will be hosted at 4:30 p.m. at Stack Southern Bistro on Friday, May 10, before the first matches.
Family Cornerstones' purpose is to eliminate poverty for the next generation of children. It provides programming for families with children from prenatal up through high school; this programming equips families with education, resource connections and strengthens parent/child relationships.
"We really are trying to take a proactive approach to creating positive change for families more likely to suffer poverty," Pugh added. "So please come out and show your support on the pickleball court."
Players can register on www.familycornerstones.org or by going to www.pickleballtournaments.com and click on the Cleveland Paddle Rattle. For those without access to computers, call Pugh to register at 423-284-7599. The College Hill Recreation Center is located at 264 Berry St. N.E.

Nydia Monagas Named to New Jersey Task Force on Child Abuse and Neglect
Montclair State professor will help develop statewide child abuse prevention plan
Posted in: Homepage News and Events, Research, Social Work and Child Advocacy
Nydia Monagas
Nydia Y. Monagas, a clinical specialist in the Department of Social Work and Child Advocacy at Montclair State University, has been named to the New Jersey Task Force on Child Abuse and Neglect for a three-year term.
The task force's mission is to develop recommendations to improve the quality and scope of child protective and preventative services provided or supported by the state government.
"I am honored to have been chosen to serve New Jersey's most vulnerable children in this capacity," says Monagas. "I am excited to be part of this community of professionals working towards creating positive change and ensuring better outcomes for children involved with the child welfare system."
Among the task force's duties will be to review the practices and policies used by the Division of Child Protection and Permanency and the Division of Family and Community Partnerships within the New Jersey Department of Children and Families.
The goals include developing a statewide plan to prevent child abuse and neglect and mechanisms to facilitate prevention strategies; better educating the public on issues of child abuse and neglect; and optimizing the coordination of services and investigations to help ensure timely determination of alleged abuse.
"Many people do not know what child abuse and neglect look like, because most of the time it is not obvious," says Monagas. "We need to better educate citizens of the warning signs, and, more importantly, what they should do and where they should go when they see them."
A member of the Montclair State faculty since 2009, Monagas is a clinical specialist in the McCormick Center for Child Advocacy and Policy where, in addition to teaching, she supervises the practicum experience for undergraduate child advocacy and policy majors. Monagas is also the executive director of the New Jersey Children's Alliance, a statewide nonprofit that promotes hope, healing and justice for victims of child abuse by supporting Child Advocacy Centers with training, resources, advocacy and leadership.
"The Department of Social Work and Child Advocacy is so proud to have Dr. Monagas join the NJ Governor's Task Force on Child Abuse and Neglect," says Emily Douglas, chairperson of the Department of Social Work and Child Advocacy at Montclair State. "It is well-deserved. Dr. Monagas is highly knowledgeable and connected in the field of child abuse and neglect and she will bring a high level of expertise and skill to her role with the Task Force. She is an excellent role model for our students, showing that the work to protect children and to create resilient families requires engagement with all levels of community and government. Without a doubt, she will do important work and the children of New Jersey will be safer for her engagement."

The striker is back in action after missing Wednesday night's game with a head knock.
Hearts striker Uche Ikpeazu returns from a head injury for Saturday's Edinburgh derby.
Michael Smith also has a chance to be back for the visit of Hibernian after two months out with a thigh problem.
Speaking about the game, Craig Levein said: "It's very difficult to get as close as you can to the edge so you are competing to a very high level but not overstepping the mark.
"And my view on how these things are viewed by the compliance officer is that people in Scotland like to see competitive football, and this derby match will be competitive.
"And God forbid there will ever be a day where we take that out of this fixture.
"We just have to be careful that we don't sanitise the football so much in Scotland that it becomes what the supporters don't want to see.
"Scottish people like to see competitive edge in the games and I think the compliance officer at times is in a hurry to dilute that. I don't think it's necessary."

We know that the population of Lambeth is increasing. We also know that people are now living longer. Meanwhile medical technology continues to advance as new or improved treatment and medicines are made available to patients. This means that there is more demand than ever on our health services, and this demand is continuing to increase.
To continue to provide a high quality health service, we have to make significant changes. For 2014-19 we developed an overarching vision for what we want to achieve and how we organise our plans. This vision was shaped by the Big Lambeth Health Debate in 2013.
We identified areas for improvement and we are using our vision to shape the way we work, these programmes are listed below and you can find more about them on the left hand side of the page. They are also described in our five year plan 'Healthier Together'.
In addition to our new Lambeth five year strategic plan, the six clinical commissioning groups in south east London (Bexley, Bromley, Greenwich, Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark) and their co-commissioners from NHS England work together as Our Healthier South East London.

Livermore council clears path for downtown hotel after years of delay
LIVERMORE — The Livermore City Council has cleared a path for a downtown hotel and parking project to move forward, after several years of contentiousness and controversy stirred up by a community group that has opposed the hotel, and delays worsened by the coronavirus pandemic.
By unanimous vote this week, the council approved an agreement with Davis hotel developer Presidio Companies that outlines the sale of a city-owned plot to build a four-story hotel at the southeast corner of Railroad Avenue and South Livermore Avenue, with roughly 130 rooms.
The council also approved loaning the developer nearly $2 million to buy a piece of nearby land at 2080 Railroad Ave. to be used for valet parking for the hotel once it is built.
Some residents, including members of the group Save Livermore Downtown, criticized the $71,521 sale price of the roughly 1.2-acre city-owned plot as too low, and also opposed the loan to the developer, insisting the hotelier should finance their own project.
Other residents, including leaders of some Livermore business organizations, supported the loan and sale, saying the hotel would be a boon for downtown businesses and the wine industry in the Livermore Valley.
Staff reports defended the sale price for the city-owned plot at 2205 Railroad Ave. as fair because the hotel will add several public benefits to the city, including contributing $30,000 annually toward maintenance of Stockmen's Park.
The hotel owners also will build and operate a solid waste facility for the downtown area's joint use, improve sidewalks and medians in the area, and will allow public access to the hotel's planned rooftop deck. The developer also will lease the hotel plot and the future valet lot to the city for public parking until the hotel begins construction.
City Manager Marc Roberts said the $1,923,750 loan to Presidio also will include 3.5% interest, which he said is at the low end of typical interest for this kind of loan, but overall a better return rate than many other city investments. Presidio will pay off the loan and interest in a lump sum when the hotel opens, city reports said.
While previously approved versions of the hotel project included a public underground parking garage, city reports said that "is no longer feasible due to the increase in construction, operation and maintenance costs during the delay in constructing the project," which was first floated several years ago.
Jean King, a representative for Save Livermore Downtown, called into the meeting on Jan. 10, saying the group doesn't oppose a hotel, but is against the loan.
"The hotel wants surface parking instead of underground parking because it would save them millions of dollars," King said.
Another resident, Deborah McQueen, also opposed the loan for the parking lot. "Focusing on the valet parking lot seems like you're putting the cart before the horse. Presidio needs to come up with their own money and leave our money alone," resident Deborah McQueen said.
Resident Richard Ryan also questioned the deal's finances.
"It appears the weak developer entity is seeking a subsidy at taxpayer expense from the city," he told the council.
Save Livermore Downtown, a group that has also gone by other names in the past, includes in its membership Joan Seppala, founder and publisher of The Independent, a weekly area newspaper. Seppala is also an executive of the Livermore Valley Performing Arts Center, which oversees the Bankhead Theater next to the planned hotel site, and King sits on the board of directors for the center.
The group has in the past put up multiple roadblocks to the hotel's development, and also contested the city's overall plans for its downtown. Under the name "Citizens for a Livermore Central Park," the group gathered enough signatures for a referendum in March 2020, known as Measure P, asking residents to vote on whether to push ahead with Presidio as a developer for a future hotel.
Though the group raised hundreds of thousands to try to persuade voters to ax the deal, residents supported the hotel agreement by two-thirds.
The group also had a ballot initiative to challenge the city's downtown plans slotted for the November 2020 ballot, but in Summer 2020, withdrew the initiative.
The group also opposed the city's plans for a four-story hotel in 2018, gathering enough signatures for a referendum, but the city acquiesced, and adjusted its plans at the time. The council later approved an amendment to the downtown plans to again allow the four-story height limit for the hotel.
Many people who called into the meeting took issue with the various efforts to stop the hotel project.
Save Livermore Downtown "is fronted and orchestrated in large part by … Joan Seppala and Jean King," resident Alan Marling said.
"We also know from the past, unfortunately, that what they say in their newspaper cannot be trusted," he said.
Brandi Addington, operations director for the Livermore Valley Winegrowers Association, said the hotel would boost Livermore's profile and support wineries.
"We have the premium outlets, we have restaurants, retail, recreation, a charming downtown, and still no hotel," she said.
The hotel design plans will be reviewed by the Planning Commission in March, followed by the council in April. Construction must begin no later than May of 2024, according to the development agreement, and the hotel opening would be no later than December 2025, city reports said.
Resident Tracy Kronzak said the hotel will allow the city to broaden its tax base.
"The delays via litigation, public proposition, and frankly, disinformation presented as legitimate journalism that this has already experienced, have taken away precious time that has allowed ordinary inflation, and extraordinary circumstances, such as COVID, to increase the overall costs," Kronzak said.

Agencies will provide you with a list of open auditions. You can check for upcoming auditions/gigs from your phone or a computer by selecting "Check for Gigs" or by clicking on the clipboard icon in the career panel. A popup window will appear of the upcoming auditions. Available auditions will vary based on your Sim's Talent Agency and Career Level. The Audition list will show the potential gig payout, the audition time, the gig time and the recommended skill. The gig payout is determined by your performance at the actual gig.
Each audition will have a recommended skill. Making sure your Sim meets this minimum skill level will boost your chances at a successful audition. When you're Sim attends an audition they will go off to work for a couple of hours, similar to passive careers like the Criminal or Tech Guru career. If you pass your audition you Sim will be expected at the Studio at the gig start time. At that time, you'll be given a choice to "Join" or "Send Alone", similar to other active careers like the Scientist or Doctor career from the Get to Work EP.
You check the time of an upcoming audition or gig in your Sim's career panel. If you ever want to cancel an upcoming audition or gig you can simply click the trash can icon in the career panel. Like other careers, you can find your performance bar in the career panel. This will let you monitor how close your Sim is to their next promotion. You'll also notice the ideal mood for the Actor career is confident. Using a mirror to 'Psych Self Up' or a tub to 'Take a Mud Bath' (available if you own Spa Day) are a great way to give your Sim a confidence boost for their audition or a gig.
Congratulations, you passed your audition. Don't get too excited, you have some work to do before your gig start time. You will have specific prep tasks for each gig. These are to be completed once you've passed the audition and before the gig start time. You can find these tasks in your Sim's career panel. They can be anything from practicing a scene to researching an emotion or developing a skill. If you are unsure how to complete a task you can hover over the item for a hint.
Sometimes your prep task may be to get to know the director or your costars. To the left of the trash can icon (cancel gig) is an icon that looks like a small calendar and person. This is the 'Invite Over Director & Co-Stars' Icon, which will invite your Director & Co-Stars to your current location.
If you choose to join your Sim at their gig you'll travel to the Plumbob Pictures Studio. Once there you'll notice an event task panel in the upper left side of your screen. It looks similar to other active careers, such as the Doctor career from Get to Work, but has a couple special features.
Since acting gigs can start at random times you can find what time your work day ends at the top of the event task panel. Below that is the progress bar which will measure if your performance is a bronze, silver or gold performance. This ultimately determines your gig payout. Your event goal is to "Complete the Performance" and your work day will end shortly once this is completed.
Below the event goal you will see a list of tasks, usually beginning with "Get into Hair and Makeup" (unless you have the 'Established Name' perk). When you complete a task a new one may appear.
These are your pre-performance tasks and can be anything from rehearsing a scene with a Co-Star to asking the Director for notes. Once you have completed the Hair/Makeup and Costume tasks, the "Tell Director You Are Ready" task should appear. Completing this task will erase any other unfinished pre-performance tasks from the list and you'll be presenting with performance tasks. Most pre-performance tasks are optional, but the more tasks you can complete, the better your ultimate performance score.
There are four categories of acting gigs: commercials, daytime tv, primetime tv and movies. Not all gigs will available at the same time, you may need to wait for the next round of auditions if you want to try for a specific gig. You also may need to try a different talent agent since different agencies will offer different gigs.
Once you are ready to begin your performance the studio lights will dim and any Co-Stars will make their way to the stage. You'll notice several "X" marks on the stage. These represent the different scenes for your performance. A smaller performance like a commercial may only have 3 scenes, while a movie performance could have closer to 8 scenes. You can check the event task panel for which scene to complete but the "X" marks are not labeled so this could be confusing in larger performances. What you want to do is look for the "X" that is slightly glowing. This is the hint for which scene should come next. Some scenes may not have an "X" and require you to click on an nearby object, like a pirate ship wheel or a hospital bed. When you click on the "X" or a prop, you'll see any option for a "Safe" or "Risky" version of that scene. This is where your prep tasks from before the gig start time are important. A risky performance has a great chance of getting you to a gold performance score.
If you completed your prep tasks you should succeed with any risky performance. If you fail at a risky performance then you could harm your chances at a gold performance score (and that larger gig payout). You can always stick with a safe performance and hope the boost from completing all the pre-performance task will earn you a high performance score. The choice is yours.
Once you complete all the scenes your performance will be complete. You'll receive your final performance score of bronze, silver or gold. The higher your performance the higher the payout and the more fame you will earn. You'll then be given a chance to go home or stay at the Studio.
As a Sim increases their Celebrity Level, they'll earn Fame Points. Fame Points can be used to purchase Fame Perks, which provide powerful benefits to celebrities, and unlock new behavior, new interactions, and new opportunities for Sims. By acquiring perks, you can drastically alter your Sim's path to stardom with different paths to becoming famous, and ways to earn fame faster.
Most perks have requirements that must be satisfied before they can be purchased. Your Sim's celebrity level will adjust which perks they're allowed to purchase. More powerful perks require higher celebrity levels. To acquire higher tier perks, the lower tier perks in the same column must first be purchased. Some perks even require that your Sim's reputation be at a certain level before they can be purchased.

Once acquired, Quirks may be removed by using the Celestial Crystal Crown, or by drinking the Quirk-B-Gone reward potion. You are not able to permanently remove a quirk slot from a Sim unless you quit the spotlight completely.
• Touched by strangers with less Fame Just because you're famous doesn't mean you're ok with the general public invading your personal space.
• Frequent use of Mirrors Maintaining a gorgeous appearance is of peal importance to celebrities…you never know when a paparazzi is going to pop out and snap a shot after all. This can lead to an inflated ego, and mirrors become a necessary crutch to constantly reaffirm that, yes…they're still gorgeous. Admitting their own reflection can instill a celebrity with confidence, but they also become anxious if they're separated from a mirror for too long.
• Frequently drinking Juice Celebrities that are Juice Enthusiasts find themselves always wanting a drink of juice. If they don't regularly drink juice, they'll slip into foul moods, and will have a difficult time raising their Fun.
When the world rotates around you, it's easy to become the emotional center of your own universe. For these celebrities, anything angering will cause them to fly off the handle and become enraged. Anything that saddens them requires the world to stop as they struggle to process their feelings. These intense outbursts don't last long…After working through an emotional meltdown, they're back to acting as if nothing was ever wrong at all.
• Being Friendly to Paparazzi Some celebrities simply adore being in front of the camera, and the paparazzi are happy to oblige. Celebrities that are Paparazzi Darlings will attract bigger crowds of paparazzi, they'll love having their photo taken, and they may even earn positive reputation when their picture is taken.
• Eating "Excellent" Quality Meals With fame comes fortune, and with fortune comes an expectation for finer things in life. Such is the burden that some celebrities must endure. For these Sims, once they've gained a taste for the finest foods, there's simply no going back to just any old meal. These celebrities will find eating food that's of "Excellent" quality most delightful, but they'll turn their nose up in discomfort when forced to swallow that's "Normal", or – dare I say – "Poor".
• Celebrity socialization with fans Celebrities who open themselves up to the adoring public are occasionally in for a rude awakening, when they discover that not every Sim is a true fan. In reality, there are some Sims who actively dislike celebrities, and will make it a priority to ensure the target of their ire receives frequent "gifts" in the mail. Try not to take it personally.
• Completing Dramatic Gigs The acting studio is not the place for pranks or jokes, especially for an actor trying to evoke the right emotion during a dramatic scene. Such behavior frays on the concentration of actors, and eventually they snap. Anytime anyone attempts something funny or mischievous with a serious actor, they'll show their anger instead of cracking a smile. They'll hold everyone accountable for their professionalism on set, and anyone that steps out of line can expect to be the subject of a furious rant.
• Signing autographs for fans Some fans take fandom a bit too seriously. These misguided Sims are known among celebrities as "stans". Thankfully stans don't mean you any harm, they just have a burning desire for you to know that you're the center of their universe. Their behavior manifests itself in a variety of ways, from attempting to chat with you while out in public, to showing up at your residence and digging through your trash cans. Should you choose to invite one into your home, keep a close eye on them…They'll always look for a chance to swipe a souvenir from their favorite superstar.
• Using Social interactions on the phone Celebrities with the Public Number Quirk have has their phone number leak, and must endure receiving text messages from various Sims each day. Some Sims are just thrilled to have the chance to contact someone famous. Other Sims are quick to express their dislike of the rich and famous. Regardless, everyone has an opinion…and they're eager to share it.
• Using a cell phone for entertainment Celebrities who are Phone Fanatics are addicted to checking their phones. Whenever they have spare time, you'll likely find them tapping away at their phone's screen. Occasionally, they'll become Tense if they haven't been entertained by their phone recently.
• Touching Celebrities with more Fame For some celebrities, hobnobbing with the rich and famous becomes a way of life. They get sad if they spend too long among the general public, separated from other celebrities that they can actually relate to. They find themselves drawn to increasingly famous Sims, always seeking out of the companionship and personal touch of those who are – at minimum – equally as famous as themselves.
A densely populated city brimming with opportunities to make it big! If you can make it in Del Sol Valley you can make it anywhere. From the lavish living in The Pinnacles to the booming nightlife of Starlight Boulevard this world has everything going for it.
Del Sol Valley is divided into three neighborhoods: Mirage Park, The Pinnacles, and Starlight Boulevard. There is also an additional 4th lot called Plumbob Pictures, but Sims will have to excel in the acting career to access this lot. More on that later.
The Mirage Park district contains reasonably priced homes, The Pinnacles is fit for the rich and famous containing the most expensive homes with views, and Starlight Boulevard is where all the action is, including exclusive night clubs and celebrity sightings.
Del Sol Valley is a brand new world for The Sims 4. You can choose to move your current household to this world, or simply visit by using the travel interaction on the cell phone.
The Sims 4 Get Famous has added 3 new lot traits available for use in any world. Each trait has a unique effect that can change how your Sims interact with the lot. Two of the lots traits are exclusive to public lots, and the third is residential only.
Hottest Spot in Town - A place for the Superstars, the VIP's, those who've achieved victory over the commonplace! After all, who else could afford these hyper-inflated prices? Not you...no. But at least, the Starlight Accolades can only happen at Lounges with this trait.
Effect: Prices are doubled for food and drink at lounges, and Restaurants that have this trait assigned to them will automatically force a §50 cover charge regardless of party size.
Up-and-Coming Hotspot - At least your Sims can say they "went here before it was cool." Also, cheap drinks and eats for the super famous! Even better, Meet a Celebrity events can only happen at Lounges with this trait.
Effect: Lots with this trait will offer discounted prices on food and drinks.
Celebrity Home - This residence is listed on the Celebrity Home Tours, granting increased fame gain, restricted access, and awe amongst welcomed visitors. Beware though! Those who live here but aren't actually very famous will be considered posers!
Effect: The only strangers that are allowed to visit are Celebrities. Sims living on lots with this trait that aren't 4-Star celebrities will occasionally receive embarrassed buffs. If at least one Sim in the household is a 4-Star Celebrity, then the embarrassed buffs will not plague Sims.
Del Sol Valley comes with 3 neighborhoods that are filled with pre-built residential and community lots. This section of the guide gives you information on all lots.
With reasonably priced homes and so close to downtown, Mirage Park is the perfect place for an up and coming star to start their rise to fame.
• Inner Circle (Residential, 40×30, §19,722) – Small quaint and cozy. Inner Circle is the perfect starting home to set your Acting Career off on the right foot.
• Vacuous Green (Residential, 50×40, §10,706) – This lot used to be a lovely little town home, but in the last few years after the fires it has been a vacant lot. Ready to be groomed and built upon.
• Upland Place (Residential, Occupied by Venessa Jeong, 40×30, §21,345) – Venessa Jeong just moved to Del Sol Valley from her quaint country town. She is looking to make it big as a rising actress. She has stared in a few low level commercials, but her agent always tells her she has what it takes she just needs to find that breakthrough role.
Fit for the rich and famous, The Pinnacles boast the most expensive homes in all of Del Sol Valley. If you want to live here you need to make it big!
• Bailey-Moon Manor (Residential, Occupied by the Manor Family, 50×40, §233,646) – Octavia Moon and Thorne Bailey are the power couple of the century. Octavia is the lyrical genius behind all of Thorne's greatest hits. Due to Thorne's most recent misshap on social media his public image has started to falter. His fans are starting to realize that Octavia is the real talent. Orange is their good natured son but due to his entire life of wanting-for-nothing, he is also a bit naive.
When it comes to night life Starlight Boulevard can not be beat. Where only the most famous Sims have access to the most exclusive night club in town. It is where the who's who of the industry come to show off.
• Ward Park (National Park, 20×20, §8,740) – Need an escape from the hustle and bustle of the celebrity lifestyle. Ward Park is the perfect place to clear your mind, relax, and listen to the sounds of water.
Get Famous includes a 4th "neighborhood" in Del Sol Valley called Plumbob Pictures. This lot is visible on the right side of the world map, but is only accessible to Sims who take on the Acting Career. To access Plumbob Pictures, Sims will need to successfully pass a "gig audition" which will grant them the ability to access and film a gig at the studio.
When the time comes to go to work, you can follow your Sim to the studio for filming. Once there, Sims can go through the motions of preparing for their role, and then hop on stage to film. Sims can stay on the lot after filming to chat with co-workers and explore the lot.
❗ Once a Sim is on the lot, they can stay indefinitely. Keep in mind that the interior of the studio will change layouts based on the type of gig Sims choose to audition for.
❗ This lot can be edited when Sims are visiting, but it will not stay as you leave it. If your Sim books another gig audition and passes, the lot will automatically change to the proper set needed for filming on gig day at the studio.
There are tons of auditions waiting for Sims at Plumbob Pictures. To learn more about the acting career, be sure to check out our Acting Career section of the guide.
The Sims 4 Get Famous adds a variety of new interactive objects. These objects allow for new game play not previously available in game. Details on these objects below.
The Celestial Crystal Crown is a new object that serves as a motive, skill, and fame boost for Sims. The crown can be purchased in buy mode for §100 simoleons, and used by Sims aged Child and older. Some of the crystals even provide Sims with temporary traits.
❗ Wearing the crystal crown will give Sims the "Fashion Faux Pas" moodlet for 4 hours. They can counter this by purchasing the "Shameless" Reward Trait.
The main use of this object is to mount crystals that Sims collect or purchase in the game. This allows Sims to take advantage of a variety of crystal effects. They'll also be able to mount rare crystals on the crown to remove Fame Quirks.
❗ To remove Fame Quirks, Sims will have to mount a rare crystal. This will automatically remove a quirk of your choice, but it will also instantly break the crystal.
❗ When Sims wear the celestial crystal crown, a crown specific self-interaction appears when clicking on them. From there they can select the "Mount Crystal", "Remove Crystal", and "Remove Quirk" options.

The only difference between the two sleeping pods is that the more expensive pod comes with several upgrades that Sims will have to buy or program on the cheap one.
The Sims 4 Get Famous includes 297 buy and build mode items. This includes objects, build items, styled rooms, and every other item that was included with the game. The slideshow below contains 276 of these objects, with the "Styled Rooms" listed right below.
The slideshow begins with the "Dreamy Pad" and ends with the "The Queen's King". If you prefer to view the images individually, check out the album on Flickr.


We had no idea what we were getting into, when I signed us up to attend the Death Valley 49'er Encampment.
We had bypassed Death Valley in our previous trips through the area mainly because we were on an agenda and it didn't lure us at the time. However, I ran across a mention of the 49'er Encampment on Facebook and it piqued my interest. I mentioned it to Phil with a "let's try this", and his response was "whatever you want to do…". He was busy with other things on his mind at the moment.
I did a bit of advance prepping by stocking the pantry and freezer with food and supplies, made sure that we had several paperback novels each, that laundry was caught up and the rig clean and tidy. Phil checked that we had our propane and reserve fuel and water tanks filled.
About mid-way (about 45 miles or so) into the park with virtually no other vehicle traffic coming our way or passing us, and none, if any signs of human habitation, the few facilities available were getting farther apart and fuel was becoming increasingly expensive and the "last chance for fuel" signs were long gone; he turned to me and asked, "now, just exactly what are we going to do out here?".
I really didn't know for sure, and just reminded him that if we did not like it, that we have wheels and can move on.
We had expanded our solar off-grid system in Oregon and had not really used it in an actual remote, primitive environment for any length of time. We were reserved for 14 days in this remote National Park and I was curious to see how we would do.
It was our first serious test of our 'dry camping capabilities'. There were campsites with hook-ups which were booked far in advance. However, the Sunset dry camping campground was where our group of Escapee Boomers were camped and where the after hours pre-encampment music was performed.
We had a blast visiting with new friends and meeting the musicians camped nearby. Some guests stayed in the Furnace Creek Inn which is a 4 star luxury hotel. We toured the Inn and were told that many movie stars have frequented the Inn. It is an Oasis with a salt water swimming pool, date palm trees, a gorgeous garden with water features, fine dining and multi-roomed suites. Other guests stayed at the Furnace Creek Ranch Resort which is more of a motel with standard amenities. There were several restaurants, a saloon, a general store and even a post office on-site.
Not all of Death Valley was was available to us. Death Valley had just experienced a thousand year flood which cause damage to the Scotty's Castle area and many back roads. There was still a lot of excursions and sites to see available to us and we took several scenic drives throughout the park. We were enthralled with the beauty and the fierceness of Death Valley.
The 1849 travelers came on horseback, covered wagons and on foot.
The weather was perfect the first 10 days with warm days and cool nights, but the last 4 days we had the Santa Ana winds come through. The wagons arrived on a windy, dusty day after driving their teams for miles across part of one of the early 49'er's trails.
I will only highlight our experiences and give limited historical information. There are plenty of historians and books on the subject and several of the more recent authors and film makers were on hand to lecture and sign their books and sell their DVDs.
We viewed historical movies, stayed for the lectures, roamed from one area of activity in the park to another. Our days were full and then the beautiful night sky arrived with shooting star shows and fireballs. Music was playing every day and night that we were camped, sometimes in several places at the same time. The Artists were really talented.
There were living historical displays, vendor booths, parades, re-enactments and demonstrations of timely crafts and skills needed to survive the land and weather of Death Valley.
The 49'er Encampment is an annual event where campers and resort guests gather for the celebration of the gold rush voyagers who traveled through and named Death Valley while searching for a shortcut to the California gold fields. Nearly all of them survived, but it was a torturous trip!
Phil played golf 214 feet below sea level (twice), and I line danced.
We found that we did very well dry-camping for the 14 days. We filled up the fresh water tanks on arrival and added to the tank with our reserve water container mid-stay. Phil did use our portable water discharge tank once, just to be sure that we did not overflow. The tank sensors in our water tanks are not reliable, they can lie to us.
Our solar kept the batteries charged and the only time that we ran the generator was to run the vacuum cleaner for a quick pickup of the sand and grit that we tracked into the rig from our treks around the camp.
The cell phones and the computers were kept charged (no internet access really available) and we had enough light to read our books after the music shows ended with reserve power still in the batteries in the morning.
We only used the propane heater in the early mornings to take the chill off the rig while we had our coffee. Once the sun came up, everything warmed up quickly.
It was a two-week experience that we will never forget.
If one wants to experience Death Valley and interact with history and wild tales of the Gold Rush era, The 49er's Encampment is the time to go!
Wow lots more to Death Valley than I ever thought. Looks like lots of fun beautiful photos. lot of beautiful spots, you picked a good time to go.
It was a great time and we are glad that it worked out so well.

Watch: Adam Lambert premieres Comin in Hot music video
The psychedelic new video is here!
Credit: Adam Lambert
Adam Lambert has released the music video for his new single Comin in Hot, just days after teasing the song's arrival on social media.
The music video is directed by Miles & AJ and it features an appearance from Miss Shalae, who rose to fame as a Beyonce impersonator. Watch the psychedelic video below:
Continuing the vibe of previous single New Eyes, Comin in Hot is a hazy, atmospheric pop track with a funky groove and distorted vocals from Lambert. The video perfectly captures the feel of the song and promises that there's more to come at the end.
Comin in Hot was written by Michelle Buzz, Sean Davidson, Andre Davidson, Adam Lambert and Katie Pearlman. It is produced by The Monarch.
The track features on Side A of Lambert's upcoming two-part album Velvet, the first of which is due to arrive in September. It's expected that New Eyes and Feel Something will be on the release too.
We're loving this new direction for Lambert and the sound really suits his unique and distinctive style. Comin in Hot is a strong release and we can't wait to hear what else he has coming up.

Double Debut! Princess Caroline Holds Two of Her Young Grandchildren at Monaco's National Day

Quite the handful!
Royal watchers received an unexpected double treat at Monaco's National Day ceremony: the first official look at the two of the newest members in the line of succession to the throne.
It came with the sight of one of the world's most glamorous grandmothers, Princess Caroline, surrounded by five of her seven grandchildren.
With a packed balcony including her sons, their wives, older children and her daughter Alexandre of Hanover helping wrangle, it was still quite an armload as the Princess managed to briefly arrange both Maximilian Rainier (born in April to Caroline's eldest son, Andrea Casiraghi, and his wife, Tatiana) and Francesco Carlo Albert (born a month later to Pierre and Beatrice Casiraghi) for a joint public debut.

Even if on a balcony spilling several generations of relations, the moment captured included Francesco's 18-month-old brother Stefano and 5-year-old cousin Sasha crashing the photo at the last moment.

This year has been one of note for Caroline — and the principality's line of succession — with the arrival of three new grandchildren. Maximilian comes into the line of succession in sixth position behind his brother, Sasha. Francesco is 10th in line. Absent from the extended family portrait was Caroline's eldest daughter Charlotte Casiraghi, 32, who delivered her second child, a boy named Balthazar just four weeks ago in Monaco.

Caroline, the first child of Grace Kelly (who became known as Princess Grace after her royal wedding to Prince Rainier in 1956), has been an extremely hands-on mother.
Last year for Caroline's 60th birthday, Prince Albert paid her tribute by telling PEOPLE, "She's a very good mother, and probably an even better grandmother now if that's possible."
"She really raised her kids well," he continued. "Without a father for many years, that's important. I'm incredibly proud of her children and to have them turn out as they have — that's a tribute to her."

I have always had a passion for desserts, which began when I was little and I opened my very first easy bake oven on Christmas. I remember thinking it was the coolest toy I could think of and I loved that I could actually bake something real to share with my friends and family. So I put on my apron and have been baking ever since!
After graduating from the Le Cordon Bleu California School of Culinary Arts in Pasadena, California I worked in cities from Las Vegas to San Francisco's Union Square and landed back in my home town of sunny San Diego, where our wedding season never ends.
While I've made a lot of upgrades since my easy bake oven, I found my love for making cakes while building a big sculpted golf bag for my dad's surprise 50th birthday, and couldn't have enjoyed it more. I'd always grown up loving different art mediums and making cakes just seemed to be the perfect fit – I could use my creativity to make something beautiful and unique using a medium that would also be delicious to eat!
I absolutely love creating a special cake that matches a bride's wedding dress, or setting up an elaborate dessert table that guests can't wait to dig into, or arranging our freshly baked cookie favors on a beautifully set table and being able to make someone's big day a little bit sweeter – it's why I love what I do.
It's the biggest blessing to be able to do something I'm so passionate about, and I'm so thankful our dessert loving couples and friends that help us continue to grow.
It would be an honor to make the desserts that turn your next special occasion into an especially sweet memory.


El nacimiento de la Granja Mabel tiene lugar el año 1989, cuando Juan y Maribel adquieren el pequeño negocio ubicado en la calle Marina 114. Esta pareja ya era conocida por la gente del barrio pues durante muchos años ambos habían trabajado como camareros en locales colindantes. Al principio, la familia sólo hacía desayunos y platos combinados para comer, ya que la cocina era muy pequeña. Años más tarde, entre 1994 y 1998, coincidiendo con el apogeo del Triángulo Golfo de PobleNou, Juan y sus dos hijos Juanan y Jordi decidieron que las noches de los fines de semana la Granjita se convertiría en un bar donde se iban a servir desde bocadillos hasta copas abriendo hasta las 3 de la madrugada. A finales del año 1998, los hijos decidieron aventurarse a trabajar fuera del negocio familiar.
Jordi, empezó a trabajar con el grupo Tragaluz. Trabajando en sala tenía buen feeling con cocina y fue entonces cuando se enamoró del mundo de las ollas y cucharones. Durante esos años, aprendió cientos de cosas, desde como abrir una botella de vino delante de un cliente hasta como gestionar una sala de manera eficaz.
En septiembre de 2008 toma las riendas del negocio familiar manteniendo el espiritu del local con un buen menú equilibrando calidad precio. En 2010 se incorporan al menú platos más arriesgados con influencias internacionales, siendo aceptados gratamente por la clientela.
En 2011 se decide hacer una gran reforma del local, adaptandolo a los nuevos tiempos y ampliando su comedor y cocina. Nace el nuevo Mabel The Granja.
Granja Mabel was born in 1989, when Juan and Maribel acquire a small business located at 114 Marina Street, in Barcelona. They were known in the neighborhood because for a long time, they had worked as waiters. At the beginning, they focused on breakfast and simple meals since the kitchen was very small. Later, between 1994 and 1998, Juan and his two eldest sons, Juanan and Jordi, decided to open on the weekends at night to serve sandwiches and drinks, because the bar was located in a leisure zone of PobleNou. At the end of 1998, Juanan and Jordi left the business to know other work experiences.
Jordi, began working as a waiter with the Tragaluz group. Although he was in the dining room, had good feeling with kitchen staff and, just then, he fell in love with the world of pots and ladles. During those years, he learned hundreds of things, from how to open a bottle of wine in front of a customer to manage a business as effectively.
In September 2008, he took over the family business, keeping the spirit of the place and offering a menu of good quality and good price. In 2010, Jordi changes the menu concept by incorporation of original and daring dishes, including international influences also. This new style was totally accepted by customers.
In 2011, Mabel The Granja was reformed, adapting to changing times and expanding its dining room and kitchen. Mabel The Granja was born again.

IRDG is pleased to continue our members-only R&D Tax Credit Clinics into 2016. These were a new initiative during 2015, and have proven very popular, giving many different employees in member companies the opportunity to understand the scheme, and their responsibilities in supporting an R&D Tax Credit claim.
The clinics are aimed at both scientific/engineering and finance staff i.e. those responsible for managing, recording and claiming Tax Credits. The goal of the Clinics is to help companies become clearer about eligible activity, more independent in the management of claims, and to be fully prepared so as to defend the claim in the event of audit.
The Clinic will have a maximum of 40-50 attendees, with the option to have some one-to-one time with the facilitators in the afternoon. There is no charge for employees of IRDG member companies to attend.

Monetary policy widens the gulf between poor and rich economies
The start of this year is an ominous echo of 2021. A new variant of coronavirus has sparked infections in all parts of the world, threatening economic prospects for the year ahead. But rather than a repeat of the severe downturns we saw in 2020, the outlook is one of high global inflation and rising interest rates, with serious risks for the more vulnerable emerging and developing economies.
Last year showed that advanced economies were more resilient than expected against Covid-19 waves, even without effective vaccines. The Alpha Gulf has been devastating to human health, but has hardly hampered global recovery. With more monetary and fiscal stimulus than needed, the result was excess demand and inflation.
It should be easier to get through Omicron. Global case numbers are at record levels, but the number of deaths is still muted. Vaccines have been effective in preventing serious diseases and the community also has greater immunity to previous infection, so advanced economies should be better able to adapt. Despite this good news, the predictions of the IMF, OECD and World Bank – suggesting that advanced economies can return to the path of economic output forecasting before pandemic without any long-term damage – would probably be too optimistic.
You see a snapshot of an interactive graphic. This is most likely due to the fact that you are offline or that JavaScript is disabled in your browser.
High inflation shows there were severe bottlenecks in running a hot economy last year, fewer workers are looking for work, and two years of weak investment will hamper economies' ability to deliver the productivity gains that drive non-inflationary growth. The greatest danger for 2022 and 2023 is therefore still inflation due to demand exceeding the available supply. Headline inflation rates will fall in the second half of the year as last year's large price increases fall from the annual comparison, but the biggest risk to the world economy is that it remains too high for convenience.
The Federal Reserve is respond to this threat in the US where it is greatest, noting that it may have to raise interest rates from the current zero percent floor "sooner or at a faster pace" than officials initially thought. Many informed observers are now expecting four-quarter-point interest rate hikes this year with the Fed selling some government bonds it owns. However, stricter monetary policy should not be confused with a highly restrictive monetary policy stance. A nominal interest rate of 1 per cent will still stimulate demand, especially with inflation likely to be well above the Fed's 2 per cent target by the end of the year.
The problem for poorer countries is that stricter, yet more stimulating, U.S. policies may mean trouble for them. As the World Bank notes in this week's outlook for the global economy, tighter US monetary policy is likely to exacerbate an already difficult outlook for emerging and developing economies.
Poorer economies have struggled to recover as quickly as advanced, without the same degree of confidence and market access to borrow freely to protect their populations in the early stages of the pandemic. Without financial resilience and ample social security systems, the downturn in emerging economies was more persistent and recovery weaker. The perfect storm was completed by the difficulties these economies experienced in accessing vaccines and delivering them to their populations.
Two decades in which emerging economies' living standards have caught up with their richer cousins are now over. The World Bank estimates that real incomes in 70 percent of emerging and developing economies will grow more slowly than those in advanced economies between 2021 and 2023.
Weakness during the pandemic is also likely to leave much larger and more persistent lesions. Compared to a (though optimistic) assumption of no scars in rich countries, the World Bank estimates that recovery in poorer countries will be nearly 6 percent less than pre-pandemic expectations. It further limits their ability to service existing debt, which got up with 10 percentage points of national income since the start of the pandemic, according to the IMF. This is likely to lead to a hard landing, debt crisis and social discontent in weaker countries.
None of this is made easier by the possibility that the Fed will hit the brakes harder this year than expected, rattling markets and exacerbating global monetary conditions. In what was somewhat of an understatement, World Bank President David Malpass said the outlook for 2022 "is unlikely to be favorable for developing countries".
Emerging and developing economies are not all alike in the conditions they face. China has more than enough fiscal firepower to dampen its economy in the short term, even if it comes at the expense of long-needed rebalancing. Turkey is the prime example of a country that is vulnerable to a shock. High public and private debt coupled with little credibility in its economic institutions is a toxic mix. Countries in similar positions have already seen capital flight and are facing the threat of a vicious cycle of deteriorating prospects and increased vulnerabilities.
The prospect is difficult. The World Bank expects 40 percent of emerging and developing economies to continue to have national income below the 2019 level by 2023. These are the conditions that are likely to cause a settlement this year rather than become more confusing.

So today I devoted almost all my time and energy to the new apartment search. Because there just has to be a nice place for us! And that's about it, not much else really happened today. So I'm sorry if you were looking for some crazy story from Day 25, but everyone has boring days sometimes. Right?
And I was actually so concerned about searching for the perfect little place, that completely I forgot I should eat sometimes too. That's like third time in my life! But don't worry, my stomach warned me loudly before I passed out of hunger. But only the fact that I didn't think about food much (as I really do all the time, on the Whole30 probably about 90% of the day) is pretty interesting to me. Usually I think about dinner during breakfast already. I don't think James would believe this.
Ok, but it's probably time for some shopping and food prep in our household. At least for those Whole30 active. Although scrambled eggs with coleslaw are actually not such a bad combination. I mean, James's compound of scrambled eggs and bacon looked a bit better, but I still had the protein and the veggies and they were both tasty. So why not.
I made only a short break for lunch before more apartment viewing. So it was pretty handy that I had one portion of the meatballs with veggies and sauce left. I just added capers this time and topped everything on top of zucchini noodles. Otherwise if I spent too much time by cooking, I wouldn't probably force myself to go back to the computer and continue. But the target was finding a perfect apartment today and I had to be completely concentrated. Look at me, being able to concentrate and not running away to do different things. I don't know if this is due to the Whole30, but it's certainly an improvement for me. Because I'm normally that annoying person who can't sit still and do one thing for more than an hour or so. And cooking is definitely my favourite activity to slip to when I'm trying to avoid something else. Well, it's a great excuse. Because everyone needs to eat, right?
Ok, I had enough of the computer at the end of this afternoon. But I did very well, making a structured schedule of the apartment hunt. But I also needed some fresh air after. So I decided to make a simple salad with chicken, packed in one of the food boxes and went to the city to enjoy coffee on the sun before it sets down. It's seriously such an amazing weather here in Australia. I'm still amazed by that.
And that's all from the Day 25. As I said, everyone has a boring day sometimes. And I'm actually pretty happy that at least one whole day went without any mood swings, dramas, drops in energy or crazy cravings. I guess at the end the Whole30 is becoming a part of my normal life.
