As home décor and design enthusiasts, we spend a lot of time and consideration visually crafting our "perfect" home space, but how often are we actually thinking about the way it smells? From the psychology of scents, to removing unwanted odors, to incorporating home fragrance with style, we've created a comprehensive guide packed with everything you need to know to make sure your home smells as lovely as it looks.
Craving a pleasant-smelling home is hardly a new concept. In fact, we've been finding ways to incorporate scents in our homes for centuries. Ancient hieroglyphics and artifacts show that Ancient Egyptian, Chinese, and Greek societies were among the first to incorporate scents in everything from sacrificial offerings, medicinal purposes, and of course freshening indoor space, according to The Perfume Society. But the use of fragrance specifically for home freshening purposes really began to take hold in 18th Century Europe under the reign of Louis XV who demanded a different fragrance for his apartment every day.
Today home fragrance technology offers a plethora of scents and dispersion methods and are used for more than just adding fragrance to the air, but also eliminating unwanted odors and adding style to our homes.
The art of creating fragrance is quite an involved process of modifying and mixing molecules from natural and synthetic sources to find the perfect balance of aromatic notes. Because naturally derived scents are proving to have farther reaching health and well-being benefits, they've seen a spike in popularity within the last decade. Here's a peek into how they're made according to Perfume.com.
Extraction: The first step in fragrance-making, extraction is the process of removing oils from natural materials like flowers, herbs and other natural materials. Popular methods include expression (essentially pressing the material until the oil is released) and distillation (using steam to extract the essence).
Blending: Extensive mixing and testing is then conducted on the extracted essences to find the desired blend. From here it's mixed with a diluting medium such as alcohol or a carrier oil.
Aging: Once the blend is ready, it's often placed in a dark, cool area for several months to help the alcohol and oils bind together.
Smells are often linked to memories and have the ability to transport us to another place in time. All this thanks to the teamwork of the olfactory bulb (located in the brain's emotional center) and the brain's conditioned responses.
You see, when you come across a new scent, your brain forges a link between that smell and a particular moment in time: the person you were with, the emotions you were feeling, or the event taking place around you—like the smell of freshly baked cookies at Grandma's house. Once that link is created, your brain is automatically cued up to conjure the memory next time you encounter the same scent, according to How Stuff Works. Who knew that's why the moment fall rolls around we're instantly craving pumpkin-spice-scented everything!
Thanks to those conditioned responses in our brain, smells can also affect our moods. Find out which scents encourage particular moods and behaviors with our guide below.
Uplifting Scents: Refreshing green scents such as peppermint, basil, cucumber, eucalyptus, freshly cut grass, and tangy citrus fruits like grapefruit, lemon, and orange are known to revitalize senses, alleviate fatigue and enhance alertness.
Relaxation and Stress Reducing Scents: Floral scents like lavender, rose, orange blossom, and jasmine are said to diffuse tension and anger by reducing stress hormones in the blood.
Romance Evoking Scents: Looking to add a bit of romance or perhaps an aphrodisiac to your life? Jasmine, neroli, sandalwood and vanilla are known to increase a couple's connection when mixed with their pheromones.
Scents to Sharpen Brain Power: According to researchers, cinnamon is linked to improving cognitive functions such as memory and visual motor responses.
Sleep Encouraging Scents: Chamomile and lavender scents have deep rooted ties not only to relaxation, but also helping to cure insomnia.
It used to be that we'd hide the room spray in a cabinet or scented diffuser behind the TV, but thanks to thoughtfully designed technology, the fragrance vessels today are often as pretty as the scents they diffuse. Here are three ways to seamlessly work fragrance into your home.
A well-styled coffee table always includes some kind of conversation piece which adds interest to the grouping. To ensure an uncluttered look, choose a conversation piece that can also double as the fragrance diffuser for the room. Look for thoughtfully designed products that are pretty all on their own, and pair them with fresh flowers and a tray, or stack of books for a sweet-smelling look.
Who said functionality can't also be pretty? Complement modern office décor with a sleek reed bouquet that diffuses a captivating, yet calming scent to ward off stress and other productivity busters throughout the work day. Try a reed diffuser like this one from Urban Naturals.
When room spray is housed in a jewel-like perfume bottle, it'll have no trouble fitting right in with the rest of your home décor. Display right out on the counter in the bath, kitchen, or laundry room for those inevitable moments when you need an extra burst of freshness. Find a room spray you like in a bottle that accents your decor.
Balance pH Levels: Often the key to removing unsightly odors is finding an equilibrium between alkaline and acidic substances. When the two opposites come together they counteract one another, neutralizing the odor.
Neutralize lingering odors like pet urine with acidic products like vinegar which work wonders in counteracting alkaline odors. Simply place a small bowl of vinegar in a discreet area of the home like under furniture or behind drapery, and let it work its magic, according to the Huffington Post.
If you've got a smelly garbage disposal, try DIY Lemon & Vinegar Ice Cubes which help to clean and neutralize whatever's rotting down there. Charcoal bricks and tablets are another easy way to eliminate alkaline odors. Similar to vinegar, just leave out in a bowl and they'll help to eliminate odors.
With a pH of around 2, baking soda saves the day when it comes to acidic odors. Can't figure out the source of that refrigerator smell? Place an open box of baking soda in the refrigerator to help neutralize odors.
If there's a lingering cigarette smoke smell in the carpet, try sprinkling baking soda on dry carpet, and let sit overnight prior to vacuuming. However, for stubborn, ground-in carpet and fabric odors you may need to call in the experts for a professional carpet or furnishings cleaning.
Purify the Air: Air Purifiers come in many different forms - both man-made and natural - and are an effective way to remove odors from the air.
Air Purifying Products: Air purifying products remove odors from the air rather than masking them. They're great for eliminating unwanted pet, smoke, or cooking odors while also contributing fragrance.
Thanks to its exclusive burner, the Lampe Berger purifies and perfumes the air indoors like no other system. The diffusion by catalysis actually destroys odor-causing molecules.
Houseplants: In the same way trees cleans outdoor air, certain house plants such as aloe and English Ivy are known to reduce harmful indoor toxins like formaldehyde, which is found in some household cleaners.
Open a Window: Never underestimate the power of fresh air in your home by simply opening windows during warmer weather to help keep the air circulating.
The options out there for adding fragrance to your home is quite vast, so we've simplified the scope with a round-up of dispersion products and DIY's that are sure to create a scented experience in your home.
1. Potpourri - simmering a pot of fresh ingredients like rosemary and lemon on the stove will not only make your kitchen smell amazing, but your entire home too! Find the DIY Pot Simmer recipe at Rachel Schultz. You can find tons of great potpourri recipes online, but make sure to use ingredients that are safe to inhale, and, if you're an allergy sufferer, be careful to avoid skin irritants.
2. Fragrance diffusers use capillary action to channel the fragrance and gradually release it into the air.
3. Keep folded clothes smelling fresh with DIY Drawer Sachets from The Pioneer Woman.
4. Put to use leftover herbs and bring the natural scent of the outdoors inside with DIY Herb Incense from Apartment Therapy.
5. Scented candles are another great way to introduce fragrance at home. Try these non-toxic DIY Soy Candles from Fall for DIY.
6. Refresh towels, sheets, and draperies with this DIY Linen Spray from Eye Swoon.
7. Fragrance vaporizers, like this one from Urbst, release tiny water particles and ionized scent into the air and are typically powered by electricity.
8. Hang a bundle of eucalyptus from your shower head for an aromatic experience that's only enhanced by shower steam. Learn more bath enhancing techniques at Free People.
Similar to selecting perfumes and colognes to fit our personal styles, choosing fragrances for our homes can also say a lot about our personalities, preferences, and lifestyles.
East Asian and woody scents create a cozier, earthy, and sometimes more masculine vibe, whereas, sweet fruits like pear or berry portray a more light-hearted sentiment. Meanwhile, fresh linen scents conjure up the notion you just deep-cleaned, or perhaps threw in a load of laundry.
If you love to travel, coconut and tropical fruits evoke the thought of a warm beach vacation, while French lavender transports you to the radiant purple fields in the South of France.
Home scents can also be a good way to reflect your geographic location, like ocean breeze for coastal living, or spruce trees in the north woods. Whatever scent you choose, make sure it's complimentary to who you are and what your home is all about.
Unwanted smells in our homes are not only unpleasant, but they might also be your first indicator that something is wrong. If you happen to encounter one of these odors, you'll want to act quickly to prevent any long-term health effects that may be associated with them.
Mold: Mold has a pungent, musty smell and is typically found in areas of high humidity like basements and showers. It's been linked to everything from headaches to cancer. If you happen to find mold, you may be able to treat it yourself depending on the strain and size of the patch. However, toxic molds like Stachbotrys, or black mold, should always be handled by a professional. Learn more at The Centers for Disease Control.
Smoke: If you smell smoke in your home, it's a good idea to do an immediate home search to see if you can locate the source of the smell. Feel closed doors for heat before opening, and if necessary get down low to avoid inhaling smoke. Of course, if you find a flame or excessive smoke, leave immediately and call 911. If there's no apparent source, it's still recommended to call your local non-emergency hotline to have your home checked out, as a faulty light fixture or electrical wiring may be to blame.
Natural Gas: A natural gas leak is often identified by a sulfuric, rotten eggs smell and should be taken quite seriously. Low level exposure symptoms include nausea, fatigue, dizziness, irregular breathing, and headache, and high level effects are unconsciousness and even death. If you suspect a natural gas leak in your home, leave immediately and call your local gas company to have a look.
Sewer Gas: If you're smelling rotten eggs in your home, in addition to natural gas, it could be a sign of a plumbing issue. The rotten eggs smell is hydrogen sulfide, a gas emitted from decaying sewage and is often caused by a broken floor drain seal in the basement, but could also mean a broken sewer or vent stack. The health effects of prolonged exposure are often dizziness, headaches, sinus infections and bronchitis, according to Angie's List. Though sewer gas is not considered to be as harmful as natural gas, it is recommended to give your local plumber a call as soon as possible.


Two nights scheduled at the magnificent Borneo Rainforest Lodge, situated in a large stand of primary dipterocarp forest in Dannum Valley.
The famous Dannum Valley Field Centre is still available to birders and visitors and represents a slightly cheaper option but if it's jungle comfort with a hint of luxury coupled with great food, quality service, birding trails and expert guides you're after, then this is the place. Hang the expense, it is worth it.
Guides accompany you on the many trails and most will know where to find the birds, animals, butterflies, or whatever you want to see and some things you don't want to see. Still needing to see Bornean Ground Cuckoo and Giant Pitta we also added Blue-banded and Blue-headed pitta, the Bornean sub-species of Banded Pitta, Borneo Bristlehead and a few others to the want list for our excellent guide, Wang Kong, to digest over lunch.
In the first kilometre from the lodge, on our first afternoon walk, Borneo Bristlehead was found in the clearing just before the canopy walkway. Initially two birds were around the treetops but scope views soon settled the nerves and over the next two days up to four birds were seen here. Not bad getting the endemic and sole family representative out of the way in the first fifteen minutes here!
Soon we were distracted by Bornean Ground Cuckoo with two birds calling from along the Ginger Trail. Stealth and patience resulted in glimpsed views of a calling ground cuckoo, with characteristic 'tail bobbing' before he disappeared over the edge and down to the river; his performance being interrupted by brilliant views of a Blue-headed Pitta calling from the middle of the trail! Amazing what you can see when you are looking for something else!
Sadly two days is not enough at Dannum Valley but I'll be back. A country with amazing people, birds, mammals, sights and sounds is too hard to resist.
Sabah Tourism Board www.sabahtourism.com will recommend bird guides if you want to hire one for the whole trip or better still Borneo Nature Tours who own the Borneo Rainforest Lodge can organise the whole trip: www.borneonaturetours.com.


The young woman who cuts my hair, a wonderfully smart and self-possessed twentysomething who chose hair styling over a Ph.D. she once pursued, told me recently that she had to enter an experimental clinical trial to get the chemotherapy she needs. There is no social safety net for people like her.
"I feel like my government doesn't care about my life," she said.
And every time you hear Sen. John McCain or Gov. Sarah Palin talk sneeringly about Sen. Barack Obama wanting to be "Redistributionist-in-Chief," know that what they are really saying is that government shouldn't care.
The "spreading the wealth" drumbeat is McCain's last ditch effort to win the presidency. The boo-line is supposed to suggest that Obama's plan to tax America's wealthiest citizens at pre-Bush-tax-cut rates is socialistic and confiscatory.
McCain is counting on the American people not being smart enough to make the next deductive step in reasoning, which is that a government that refuses to tax substantial wealth has three choices: It can tax the non-wealthy to make up the difference. It can slash spending and abandon promises made to citizens, such as providing national security, maintaining programs like Medicare and veteran benefits, keeping the national parks open, etc. Or it can borrow the money it needs from other countries and rack up debts until our nation starts looking like a bad long-term investment to the rest of the world -- this would be the George W. Bush model.
But McCain claims that he will eliminate the nation's soaring budget deficits by the end of his first term, and that he won't raise taxes on the middle class beyond taxing the value of their health insurance, which means gutting government is his only course.
McCain promises to be the next Social Darwinist-in-Chief. He would manacle government, ensuring that it does not have the revenues to make the lives of my hair stylist, the local waitress and yes, even most plumbers, better and more secure. McCain's plan is to put an exclamation point on the "Ownership Society" -- a.k.a., the "You're On Your Own Society" -- launched by Bush and his neoconservative backers, where your life is valued by the size of your bank account.
McCain's demonization of Obama's comments to "spread the wealth around" also says that he would rather win than lead. It attempts to deceive people into thinking that government can run on pixie dust.
Redistributing wealth is what all nations do to one degree or another. In fact, there is no other way to describe the recent $700 billion rescue of the nation's financial sector. Here, with McCain's support, we have redistributed wealth upwards from average Americans to the institutions that employ a big chunk of the nation's multimillionaires.
I'm not saying that the bailout wasn't necessary, just that if McCain wants to rail against redistribution, this is a much more appealing target. Obama wants to spread the wealth by retiring those Bush tax cuts that benefited the wealthy in order to pay for reforms to the nation's pockmarked health insurance system.
So let's see, which is more deserving of McCain's puffed-up fury: saving the jobs of investment bankers who brought ruin upon themselves due to unbridled greed or protecting the health of America's uninsured children?
Which smacks more of the "evils" of socialized government: taking part ownership in a raft of banks, essentially partially nationalizing the banking sector, or creating an affordable public health insurance program as an alternative for Americans who don't get health coverage at work?
There was a time when McCain cared about responsible government. In 2001, speaking on the Bush tax cuts, McCain said: "I cannot in good conscience support a tax cut in which so many of the benefits go to the most fortunate among us." But that was when he was a redistributionist. Now he's just a desperate candidate in search of a winning strategy. Let's hope he hasn't found one.

Public Release: 2-Jun-2013
A step closer to artificial livers
CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Prometheus, the mythological figure who stole fire from the gods, was punished for this theft by being bound to a rock. Each day, an eagle swept down and fed on his liver, which then grew back to be eaten again the next day.
Modern scientists know there is a grain of truth to the tale, says MIT engineer Sangeeta Bhatia: The liver can indeed regenerate itself if part of it is removed. However, researchers trying to exploit that ability in hopes of producing artificial liver tissue for transplantation have repeatedly been stymied: Mature liver cells, known as hepatocytes, quickly lose their normal function when removed from the body.
"It's a paradox because we know liver cells are capable of growing, but somehow we can't get them to grow" outside the body, says Bhatia, the John and Dorothy Wilson Professor of Health Sciences and Technology and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT, a senior associate member of the Broad Institute and a member of MIT's Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research and Institute for Medical Engineering and Science.
Now, Bhatia and colleagues have taken a step toward that goal. In a paper appearing in the June 2 issue of Nature Chemical Biology, they have identified a dozen chemical compounds that can help liver cells not only maintain their normal function while grown in a lab dish, but also multiply to produce new tissue.
Cells grown this way could help researchers develop engineered tissue to treat many of the 500 million people suffering from chronic liver diseases such as hepatitis C, according to the researchers.
Lead author of the paper is Jing (Meghan) Shan, a graduate student in the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology. Members of Bhatia's lab collaborated with researchers from the Broad Institute, Harvard Medical School and the University of Wisconsin.
Large-scale screen
Bhatia has previously developed a way to temporarily maintain normal liver-cell function after those cells are removed from the body, by precisely intermingling them with mouse fibroblast cells. For this study, funded by the National Institutes of Health and Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the research team adapted the system so that the liver cells could grow, in layers with the fibroblast cells, in small depressions in a lab dish. This allowed the researchers to perform large-scale, rapid studies of how 12,500 different chemicals affect liver-cell growth and function.
The liver has about 500 functions, divided into four general categories: drug detoxification, energy metabolism, protein synthesis and bile production. David Thomas, an associate researcher working with Todd Golub at the Broad Institute, measured expression levels of 83 liver enzymes representing some of the most finicky functions to maintain.
After screening thousands of liver cells from eight different tissue donors, the researchers identified 12 compounds that helped the cells maintain those functions, promoted liver cell division, or both.
Two of those compounds seemed to work especially well in cells from younger donors, so the researchers -- including Robert Schwartz, an IMES postdoc, and Stephen Duncan, a professor of human and molecular genetics at the University of Wisconsin -- also tested them in liver cells generated from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Scientists have tried to create hepatocytes from iPSCs before, but such cells don't usually reach a fully mature state. However, when treated with those two compounds, the cells matured more completely.
Bhatia and her team wonder whether these compounds might launch a universal maturation program that could influence other types of cells as well. Other researchers are now testing them in a variety of cell types generated from iPSCs.
In future studies, the MIT team plans to embed the treated liver cells on polymer tissue scaffolds and implant them in mice, to test whether they could be used as replacement liver tissues. They are also pursuing the possibility of developing the compounds as drugs to help regenerate patients' own liver tissues, working with Trista North and Wolfram Goessling of Harvard Medical School.
Bhatia and colleagues have also recently made progress toward solving another challenge of engineering liver tissue, which is getting the recipient's body to grow blood vessels to supply the new tissue with oxygen and nutrients. In a paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in April, Bhatia and Christopher Chen, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, showed that if preformed cords of endothelial cells are embedded into the tissue, they will rapidly grow into arrays of blood vessels after the tissue is implanted.
To achieve this, Kelly Stevens in the Bhatia lab worked with Peter Zandstra at the University of Toronto to design a new system that allows them to create 3-D engineered tissue and precisely control the placement of different cell types within the tissue. This approach, described in the journal Nature Communications in May, allows the engineered tissue to function better with the host tissue.
"Together, these papers offer a path forward to solve two of the longstanding challenges in liver tissue engineering -- growing a large supply of liver cells outside the body and getting the tissues to graft to the transplant recipient," Bhatia says.

Saying goodbye to Stephen - our retiring gardener's fulfilling career
Blickling Estate Norfolk
A life time of gardening for Stephen Hagon Alex Hurrell / Just Regional
Published : 02 Jul 2019 Last update : 25 Jul 2019
Stephen Hagon began work as a National Trust gardener two days after his 15th birthday. And on July 31, two days after his 62nd birthday, Stephen, now Blickling Estate's Assistant Head Gardener, will hang up his hoe for the final time and begin a busy retirement.
Stephen has spent nearly five decades helping to look after some 47 acres which includes magnificent double borders, a formal parterre, woodland rose garden, secret garden, winter garden, the newly-recreated walled garden and a philadelphus garden which was Stephen's idea.
Aylsham-born Stephen remembers the head gardener examining his work after his first day in 1972 and telling him he'd made a good job of weeding between clumps, but hadn't weeded the middle of each individual plant.
"That's something I've made sure I've done ever since," said Stephen, who took home £8.10 for his first week's work, giving £2 of it to his mum for his keep.
" I am grateful to the National Trust. It's been a privilege and an honour. I'm very lucky. I wasn't academic at school but I've learned so much here."
- Stephen Hagon, Gardener
Over the years he also learned about gardening and wildlife from other staff, including Norman Overton, who once showed him how to attract a stoat or weasel by imitating a distressed rabbit's call. A few years later, while gardening, Stephen spotted an adult stoat with four young and put Norman's teaching into practice.
"They came within four or five feet of me and sat bolt upright," he said. "If I'd had a camera that photo would have won BBC wildlife picture of the year!"
In the early days Stephen was one of a team of nine gardeners, with no volunteer help. Today there are eight gardeners and dozens of volunteers.
"Without them we couldn't keep everything to the high standard we do," said Stephen, who has seen Blickling's visitor numbers grow, as its opening times have increased, from about 50,000 a year in the 1970s to last year's record 205,000.
He enjoys sharing his knowledge with visitors and is always touched when they tell him what a good job he and the team are doing.

One of Stephen's proudest moments came about five years ago when he took a party from the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) on a garden tour and so impressed them that he was later presented with a prestigious RHS bronze award.
His most poignant memory is the great storm of October 16 1987 which blew down 265 trees at Blickling. Stephen helped mark out and plant 365 replacements, some of which are now 50-60ft tall.
He's seen a lot of filming in the grounds of Blickling over the years and met royal and other famous visitors. Sex and the City actress Kim Cattrall was so taken with her visit that she joined the National Trust on the spot.
Gardening has helped keep Stephen fit and he still plays football regularly, including for Erpingham Reserves. Last season he was named their player of the year.
And he has been a massive Status Quo fan since his teens. He will clock up his 100th Quo gig this September in Hyde Park. He also plans to carry on his part-time roadie role for Suffolk band Walkway.
Stephen is expecting his last day to be an emotional one – Blickling has been his entire career since leaving school. He loves the fact that it has an all-seasons garden and knows he will miss it, although he hopes to return as a volunteer and give occasional tours.

'Agents of SHIELD' Season 7 Trailer Reveals a Major HYDRA Twist
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.are heading back in time in season 7, to save the world -- and their oldest foe?
The trailer for the ABC super series debuted on Tuesday, giving fans a glimpse of the adventures through history that the team is poised for in their final season, as they fight to save space and time from the Chronicoms.
The clip picks up in 1931 New York City, where a group of policemen go head-to-head with the odd otherworldly beings, not taking the threat seriously until it's far too late.
"What do you want?" the last cop left standing pleads, as the Chronicoms stand over him with a futuristic device.
The unsettling answer? "Your face."
Check out the rest of the trailer below, which includes some epic fights, ominous threats and the most startling historical development of all -- when Daisy Johnson (Chloe Bennet) comes to a major realization: "So you're saying, to save S.H.I.E.L.D...."
"We have to save HYDRA," a newly resurrected Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) answers.
ET exclusively debuted the S.H.I.E.L.D. season 7 poster last week. The epic key art, from artist Kyle Lambert, shows each member of the team outfitted in different types of retro gear, alongside an image of a shuttle launch, an early automobile and a '50s-style diner, as well as the team's time-hopping Zephyr One ship.
Coulson looks dapper in a fedora and trenchcoat, while Daisy and Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) sport mid-1900s fashions and hairstyles -- with Simmons channeling Captain America: The First Avenger–era Peggy Carter in a big way.
Agent May (Ming-Na Wen) and Yo-Yo (Natalia Cordova-Buckley) appear to be costumed for later decades -- with Yo-Yo looking '70s-ish and May appearing uncharacteristically formal in a dress and jewelry -- while Deke (Jeff Ward) is giving off major Josh Brolin-in-Goonies vibes. Mack (Henry Simmons) and Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) are also pictured alongside their teammates, but with fewer context clues in their ensembles.
ET spoke with Bennet at the premiere of her animated film, Abominable, at the Toronto International Film Festival last September, where she opened up about saying goodbye to the show and her character after seven seasons.
"I think they did a really good job with the ending," she said. "It was really sad to say goodbye to those characters... It feels like a bit of a graduation."
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns Wednesday, May 27 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

This past weekend, I attended the Pinnacle Society Conference in lovely Lake Tahoe, CA. For some background, the Pinnacle Society is an organization made up of the top 75 agency recruiters from around the US (and a handful in Canada). We meet on a bi-annual basis in different cities around the country where we spend three intense days learning from top trainers, sharing best practices, and then topping off each day with some evening festivities.
Our membership is very diverse to include newbies with five years of recruiting experience, up and comers with 10 years (I'm in this bucket), industry veterans with 20 years, and OGs with 40+ years of experience. Each member has a unique focus area that emphasizes a specific industry, professional level, and geography. Sample areas include West Coast Software Sales, National Hospitality Executives, International Energy Executives, Orange County Exec Admins, Silicon Valley Technology (that's us), and we even have somebody focusing on the National Toy Market. Like I said, some major diversity. What we all have in common though is a love and passion for recruiting and an intense drive to deliver for our clients and our candidates. And that's what we spend our time at Pinnacle Conference discussing.
This conference included headlining sessions from renowned trainers Greg Doersching of Bullseye Mentor and Vern Davis of Protis, both incredible in their own right. It also included supporting member-led sessions and discussions on topics ranging from candidate experience, engagement best practices, sourcing leverage, and more.
Rather than taking heaps of notes, I decided to live-tweet the event. This in my mind gave me the highest likelihood of capturing and sharing the insights gained throughout the long weekend.
Here's an excerpt; click to view the full tweet-story!
I hope you enjoy the tweet-storm. I definitely enjoyed sharing. And I welcome any feedback/commentary. Follow me @bozonit for any future news and tweet-storms about recruiting/talent, Silicon Valley, business, Katy Perry, or The Sopranos.

THE PRESIDENTIAL LINE OF SUCCESSION ON 20/20
Elizabeth Vargas
"20/20" explores one of the great United States government secrets of all time— how the administration and country will continue to operate in the wake of a catastrophic event that threatens the presidential line of succession. The special hour reports on real designated survivors, top secret bunkers and underground cities where the surviving government would be hidden, and how governments have reacted in the wake of devastating events including the day President Reagan was shot and the plane crash that took the lives of a Polish president and top Polish government officials. "The Real Designated Survivor" airs tonight on "20/20" Wednesday, November 23 (10:00 – 11:00 a.m., ET) on ABC.
Anchor Elizabeth Vargas speaks with former real-life designated survivors Dan Glickman (1997) and Gale Norton who was the designated survivor during the first State of the Union following the 9/11 attacks. They explain what it is like to be held in a separate, secure location and in the protection of the Secret Service during major events and how the role has changed post-9/11. In addition, Vargas sits down with award-winning actor Kiefer Sutherland who plays President Tom Kirkman on ABC's "Designated Survivor." "20/20" goes behind the scenes on the set of "Designated Survivor" and talks to co-star and former White House staffer Kal Penn and series consultant Rich Klein about how they try to make the show as accurate as possible. "20/20" also investigates the 2010 Smolensk air disaster, which killed Polish President Lech Kaczyñski, top Polish government officials and military leaders, what caused the plane to go down and how the Polish government reacted to losing its leader.
ABC News Chief Global Affairs Correspondent Martha Raddatz gives a rare look at what happened the day John Hinckley Jr. attempted to assassinate former President Ronald Reagan. Raddatz speaks to former ABC News White House Correspondent Sam Donaldson who witnessed the attempted assassination and Reagan's National Security Advisor Richard Allen who plays never-before-televised audio recordings of the meetings that took place in the White House Situation Room that day, revealing top officials grappling with the continuity of government.
Also in the hour, Senior Justice Correspondent Pierre Thomas goes behind the fortified walls of a once-classified Congressional safe haven bunker and underground cities, built for U.S. government officials to assemble in the wake of a nuclear attack or other major disastrous event.
"20/20" is anchored by Elizabeth Vargas and David Muir. David Sloan is senior executive producer.

'We can't just ignore it': Boulder shooting memorial items will go on permanent public display
The Museum of Boulder will work to preserve the items left by the community and eventually display the items to the public.
Author: Marc Sallinger (9 News)
Updated: 10:24 AM MDT June 1, 2021
BOULDER, Colo. — The fence outside the King Soopers in Boulder has grown into a memorial that's become home to thousands of items since a shooting at the store in March left 10 dead.
More than two months after the first flowers were placed outside the grocery store, the memorial wall will now come down.
Starting this week, the Museum of Boulder will preserve as many items as possible to one day display to the public.
"It just very quickly became a site of communal mourning and grief, but also reflection and healing," said Chelsea Pennington Hahn, the curator of collections at the Museum of Boulder. "It really feels like a privilege to be taking care of the stories like this."
RELATED: Boulder King Soopers where mass shooting took place will be renovated and reopen
It's Pennington Hahn's job to make sure the wall is remembered, even after it's taken down. She's walked down the memorial fence more times than she can count, preserving the items left by the community. Some of the more fragile items have already been preserved by the museum to shield them from the weather.
"You see the outpouring of their grief, of their wishes for change," Pennington Hahn said. "It's just such a raw sight of that emotion. Everything that we can, we'll save."
The items on the wall will be preserved by the museum and eventually displayed to the public. It could take months or even years to come up with a plan for what to do. The City of Boulder is working to create a permanent memorial to the lives lost in the grocery store shooting, but said Tuesday that right now discussions are in the "early stages" so there's information yet about when or where it might be built.
RELATED: Museum of Boulder, city planning permanent memorial for mass shooting victims
Following the removal of items from the fence, King Soopers will reset the location of the fence and add a mesh fabric covering to the portion along Table Mesa Drive with the #Boulder Strong message.
A tribute space will also be created in the west side of the parking lot. The space will house an installation of fresh flowers, donated by King Soopers, to honor the victims.
Two artists from the Boulder community are designing the installation, which will be in place from June 16 - 19. After this time, community members will be invited to take a flower as a gift for a neighbor or loved one to build connections and to heal
The Museum of Boulder also wants to collect stories from the community about why people left the items they did. They're hoping that will provide context for people in the future looking through the memorial items that are collected. You can contact them here.
"It's devastating, but it's still important to preserve it," Pennington Hahn said. "We can't just ignore it and wish that it never happened and not think about it. It's still important to tell that story."
For more than two months, the memorial wall has helped the town heal. Now, it will forever be a part of what makes Boulder, Boulder.
Visitors to the tribute, or anyone in the community, who needs mental or emotional support is welcome to visit the Boulder Strong Resource Center. The center is located at the Chase Bank at 603 S. Broadway and is open Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Consumers Reports Confirms Bisphenol A Leaches From Tin Cans
Lambert/Archive Photos/Getty Images
Two new bits of research: A new study by members of the Reproductive Toxicology Branch of the EPA did not find any evidence that Bisphenol A (BPA), was a "gender bender" in female rats. BPA "Does not Alter Sexually Dimorphic Behavior, Puberty, Fertility and Anatomy of Female LE Rats" (Abstract here, via Stats.org)
This is particularly good news in the light of the Consumers Union's recent report that showed leaching of BPA from canned food, as reported in Calorie Lab. The worst product, Progresso Vegetable Soup, had BPA content in the range of 67 to 134 parts per billion. These are levels comparable to those found in the polycarbonate bottles that we have all been dumping like mad.
This shouldn't be news to TreeHugger readers; studies have been finding BPA in cans for years. See:
BPA Danger may be greater from Tin Cans than Water Bottles
Bisphenol A Is In Your Tomato Sauce
Is There Bisphenol A In Your Home Canning?
Bisphenol A Found in Baby Food in Glass Jars
So what should one do? Certainly not jump on the one new study and say that proves that BPA is harmless, as many in the plastics industry are doing; The Environmental Working Group lists over a hundred studies that say otherwise.
There were fairly easy substitutes for polycarbonate bottles, either stainless steel or new BPA free plastics. Replacing it in cans is not so simple. But the EPA is no longer taking its orders from the American Chemistry Council, and according to the Los Angeles Times, a review of existing evidence about BPA's health effects was nearly completed and that [Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Margaret] Hamburg would "make a decision how to proceed" by the end of the month.
Conclusion: There is absolutely nothing new in the Consumers Union report. If you are concerned about BPA, we made five recommendations in an earlier post:
Don't use canned baby formula: All U.S. manufacturers use BPA-based lining on the metal portions of the formula containers. If you must use formula, choose powered or liquid in plastic bottles.
Don't eat canned food if you are pregnant. the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) says "We don't want to tell people not to eat canned beans or tomatoes," said CSPI nutritionist David Schardt. "But at the same time, it makes sense for all parents, and especially pregnant and nursing women, to minimize the exposure of their kids' developing bodies and brains to BPA."
Buy in bottles, not cans. Many products, like tomato sauces, are available in bottles as well as cans. Does that white epoxy on the inside of the metal lid have BPA? Yes, but there is a lot less surface area than the whole inside of a can.
Start cooking instead of just heating. The fact that 17% of the American diet comes out of cans is just a scandal when we are surrounded by fresh food. Cook it from scratch and avoid the problem altogether.
Demand BPA-free cans. Not every manufacturer uses it; Some brands, like Eden Foods, are BPA free.
But most of all, don't panic, and lets wait to see what the FDA says at the end of the month.

I'm playing Circle Empires, a real-time strategy game by Luminous and Iceberg Interactive.
The game features procedurally generated maps that varies the resources and enemies in each region, the quantity of which depends on the difficulty level. Leaders provide different starting resources and bonuses when capturing a new territory. The main game mode involves finding and killing an enemy boss, but a full conquest mode and games against AI empires are also available. Food, wood, and gold are collected and used to recruit new units, build defensive structures, or unlock upgrades. Circle Empires has a good roster of available units, and the composition of your army largely depends on which resources dominate the map you are playing on. Unit control can become cumbersome as units overlap; friendly units will also occasionally ignore enemies that are located in the same circle, and the game could use an attack move order. Circle Empires becomes very challenging on higher difficulty levels due to the large initial enemy count. Despite limited shortcomings involving the user interface, Circle Empires is an approachable real-time strategy game that has high replay value thanks to its randomized map layouts.

This creamy stick concealer is oil-based and contains a colorless moisture core that, while visually appealing in the package, actually leads to an uneven application that requires more blending than usual. Once blended, this provides spotty coverage. The finish remains greasy, so this fades and settles into lines around the eyes (or mouth) quickly. It contains an impressive amount of peptide (that's where the anti-aging claims come into play, even though peptides alone aren't the answer to youthful skin).
Strengths: The Cell Block-C products include stablized Vitamin C; some well-formulated moisturizers; decent scrub products; excellent retinol products; some good cleansers plus an exceptional makeup remover; Lip Apeel; very good lip balm with sunscreen; some great foundations (including one with full coverage); very good powder blush and eyeshadow trios; the liquid eyeliner and lip gloss are excellent; some innovative products that make this line deserve a second look.
Weaknesses: Most of the body-care products contain irritating ingredients, as do several others throughout the line; the jar packaging is really disappointing; most of the toners contain problematic ingredients that can hurt skin; almost all of the men's products are full of irritants; limited options for sunscreens, although what's available provides sufficient UVA protection; the Skinlogics Sensitive skin-care line contains ingredients that are problematic for those with sensitive skin; mostly problematic concealers; limited to poor foundation, concealer, and powder shades for women of color.
Texas-based BeautiControl has been around for nearly three decades and has maintained a consistent focus on skin care. Most recently they have shaped their line around the concept of creating your own in-home spa, which the company uses to entice women to host BeautiControl parties for their friends and family. Whether you find out about (or end up purchasing) these products by attending a BeautiControl party or you happen across their Web site, there are some compelling reasons to consider several BeautiControl products. Let's start with the positives.
The best face forward side of BeautiControl is that their price point is not over the top, and mostly reasonable; plus several of their products are exceptional. We also think their overall approach to taking care of skin is well-intentioned. Without question, the ingredients in their best products demonstrate they're keeping up with the state-of-the-art. If they stopped including problematic ingredients and discontinued the poorly formulated products this line would be a much stronger option for consumers looking to take excellent care of their skin while remaining brand-loyal.
BeautiControl's focus on launching more and more miracle products with incredibly misleading claims might help them sell more products, but it doesn't always make for good skin care. And how come they have so few facial moisturizers with sunscreen? Protecting skin from sunlight indisputably keeps it looking younger, firmer, smoother, and even-toned far longer than anything else you can do for skin.
BeautiControl's makeup collection has been streamlined a bit, and that's good news. The foundation colors are divided into warm, cool, and neutral tones though the warm tones (those that begin with the letter Y) are more neutral than warm, which is good news. The cool shades (those that begin with the letter P) are the least impressive. Throughout the color line are some happy surprises, such as the improved powder blush and eyeshadow trios but also some really bland products such as the eye pencil and some gimmicky primer-type products. You'll find some great products whether you want to shop BeautiControl's color line piecemeal or assemble a complete makeup wardrobe, and the prices are reasonable.
For more information about BeautiControl, call (800) 232-8841 or visit www.beauticontrol.com.
Note: We would like to acknowledge and extol how exceptionally helpful the staff at BeautiControl's main office has been in allowing my team and me to compile the information necessary to complete this review. Very few cosmetics companies extend such a high level of service and reliable information to us, and we truly appreciate it.

So too if given another chance again whenever opportunity arose after retiring from boxing career which lasted until early 1980s following serious head injuries suffered during sparring session between himself & his trainer Rafael Oberto Jr where they struggled while trying their best not only because they wanted more money but also because they loved what they were doing despite having little knowledge about how things worked behind scenes at ringside level where cameras aren't allowed inside official bouts so all we see are highlights from each round being shown afterwards outside ring area except when there's knockdown rule applied which makes sense since most people don't want their faces shown either way 🙂

Q: Intensity pattern in a single-slit diffraction In a single-slit diffraction, what happens to the intensity pattern if the slit width becomes narrower and narrower?

A: Experimental verification:

These single slit diffraction patterns were photographed with a helium-neon laser as the light source and a micrometer-controlled single slit. The sketches of the slit widths at right were scaled to the difference between the first minima of the diffraction patterns. If the geometry is such that the small angle approximation is valid, the width of the pattern is inversely proportional to the slit width.

La Kukusunda () è un fiume della Russia, affluente di sinistra della Arga-Sala (bacino idrografico dell'Olenëk), che scorre nella parte settentrionale della Siberia Orientale, nella Sacha (Jacuzia).

Nasce e scorre per tutto il suo corso in una regione modestamente rilevata nella parte nord-orientale dell'altopiano della Siberia centrale, mantenendo direzione mediamente sud-orientale; non incontra alcun centro urbano di qualche importanza fino alla sua foce nel medio corso dell'Arga-Sala. I maggiori affluenti sono Džara (200 km) dalla destra idrografica, Charaga-Suoch (69 km) e Lamujka (86 km) dalla sinistra.

Il fiume è congelato nel periodo fra la metà di ottobre e la fine di maggio.

Q: Required input CSS selector equivalent in Reactive Forms Is there an equivalent way of input:required {CSS} to select with CSS all the reactive form fields in Angular that have Validators.required in its formControl? Or there is some workaround to do this?

A: UPDATE 2 (working)
Angular doesn't provide a solution to get the validators of a FormControl, which means we would have to revert to rather hacky solutions

*

*https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/13461

*https://github.com/angular/material2/issues/2574
What they basically do currently is loop through the FormControls, execute the validators on an empty control
const validator = abstractControl.validator({}as AbstractControl);
            if (validator && validator.required) {
                return true;
            }

and check if it has required validator on it.
while this does technically work, it executes all synchronous validators!
you can then for example get a reference to the nativeElements of the form controls and compare them by formControlName.
I created a stackblitz to illustrate it
https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-hifypw?file=src%2Fapp%2Fapp.component.ts
the required FormControl will rendered with a red background.
I used a template Variable theForm to get a hold of the Element which holds the FormGroup and then select every child of type input.
I then loop over them and check if they have the required validator.
To compare I use the formControlName
 const controls =  this.getValidators(this.frmMain.controls);
      this.elements.forEach(x => {
            x.nativeElement.querySelectorAll('input').forEach(i => {

              const c = controls[i.attributes['formcontrolname'].value];

              if(i.attributes['formcontrolname'] && c && c.required && !i.classList.contains('test')) {
                i.classList.add('test');
              }

            });
    })

I think it's a lot of work, for something rather simple.
Also my approach would currently only work if all form controls are within the same component (and it of course only includes input) and I have no idea if it would work with AOT.
It works, but I'd rather use a a custom directive or just a plain and simple css class.
UPDATE
currently the only solution, I come up is creating a class .required and add it manually.
Maybe you could somehow use a combination of @ViewChildren and FormControl to get what you want. I will investigate, but it will probably a bit hacky.
BELOW ONLY WORKS FOR TEMPLATE DRIVEN FORMS
you could use input[type=text][required] and so forth.
While this would basically work, I think it's a very broad selector which will probably lead to problems latter in your project and you will be writing some ugly css rules just to circumvent this rule.
What I would do is create a css class to denote a form-control, like bootstrap framework does it.
Something like .form-control[required].
Keep in mind that styling radio buttons and checkboxes works quite differently than text fields and select boxes.
For example you can't set borders on <input type="checkbox" /> and <input type="radio" />
So you might even be more specific (and still not be too specific)
 .form-control[type="text"][required]
or another solution, just create a css class .required and be decoupled from angular.


The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) is the nation's largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness. What started as a small group of families gathered around a kitchen table in 1979 has blossomed into the nation's leading voice on mental health. Today, NAMI is an association of hundreds of local affiliates, state organizations and volunteers who work in communities to raise awareness and provide support and education that was not previously available to those in need.
The National Catholic Partnership on Disability (NCPD) was established in 1982 to implement in parishes and dioceses throughout the United States the 1978 Pastoral Statement of U.S. Catholic Bishops on Persons with Disabilities. The mission of NCPD Council on Mental Illness is: Following Jesus who embraced all, we reach out to accompany our brothers and sisters with mental illness and their families while assisting the Catholic community by providing resources and education for spiritual and pastoral support.
The California Catholic Conference addresses caring for those who suffer from mental illness as an essential part of pastoral care.
National Institute of Mental Health is the lead federal agency for research on mental disorders. NIMH is one of the 27 Institutes and Centers that make up the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the largest biomedical research agency in the world. NIH is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
The Treatment Advocacy Center is dedicated to eliminating legal and other barriers to the timely and effective treatment of severe mental illness. The organization promotes laws, policies and practices for the delivery of psychiatric care and supports the development of innovative treatments for and research into the causes of severe and persistent psychiatric illnesses, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
Mental Health America (MHA) – founded in 1909 – is the nation's leading community-based nonprofit dedicated to helping Americans achieve wellness by living mentally healthier lives. Our work is driven by our commitment to promote mental health as a critical part of overall wellness, including prevention for all, early identification and intervention for those at risk, integrated health, behavioral health and other services for those who need them, and recovery as a goal.
Mental Health Ministries was founded in 2001 by United Methodist minister, Rev. Susan Gregg-Schroeder. Mental Health Ministries has evolved into an ecumenical and interfaith outreach. It works with faith communities, advocacy groups, community organizations and mental health professionals. The focus is on using one's faith and spirituality as an important part of the recovery and treatment process and as a way for family members to find strength and hope in caring for a loved one with a mental illness.
3) Develop a network of those within the Catholic community in England and Wales with a special interest in locally based mental health support.

" Golf is a traditional sport, yet it is evolving all the time. The greatest method to forecast the future, we've discovered, is to make it. We've been able to accomplish so far, thanks to the support of our loyal customers."
—— FINGER TEN
Great ideas lead to great products. Our mission is straightforward: To Create & Manufacture Better Things.
We won't do anything unless we can build something better, and that's where we're distinct. Our items aren't designed in a suit-filled boardroom or tested in a warehouse. They're made by golfers, for golfers, and have been thoroughly tested by golfers.
FINGER TEN Sport was founded in 2015 with the goal of giving the golf world something it lacked.
In the golf accessory market, there was a void, a lack of "cool." We got bored of seeing boring regular white gloves on the course and decided to add some personality to a product that is used every swing.
We came up with a concept for golfers who wanted gloves that were different and had a touch of attitude! FINGER TEN set out to create High-Quality golf gloves, tees, bags And all kinds of training aid accessories you need on golf course, sells them over the internet, and ships them directly to the consumer. We set out to create attractive accessories that performed well and were affordable to everyone.
How Its Going!
Our enthusiasm for golf drives all we do at FINGER TEN Sport. Our love for the game inspires us to offer an outstanding assortment of certified gloves and all the other golf accessories, while providing the best service possible to our customers all over the world.
Golf is sometimes perceived as a costly sport, with high fees, accessories, and clubs. We, on the other hand, believe that golf should be a game that everyone can play and enjoy. That is why we strive to provide our consumers with some of the most competitive prices available!
For all manufacturing related to our product, Finger Ten Sport is committed to consistently improving our environmental performance, preventing pollution, and overall environmental protection. Because all of our items are manufactured of environment friendly materials, there is no chance of pollution.
Another great feature of our products is that they are all made of latex-free materials. There is no risk of allergic reactions or rashes. As a result, you will be able to enjoy the sport without any hassle.

"We've been working hard on the next version of Lightroom, and now we're giving our customers a chance to try out some of the new technology available with the release of Lightroom 5 beta. Since the initial Lightroom public beta release in 2006, we've learned a tremendous amount through a collaborative dialogue with our customers, and I'm excited to continue that collaboration to receive feedback on the Lightroom 5 beta.
With this release, our goal was to add some highly-desired features that allow photographers to quickly process and enhance their images. We've added more robust healing options, the ability to create off-center vignettes, and a one-click auto perspective correction tool. We've also added the ability to edit photos when not connected to your original images. Each of these improvements is a result of feedback provided by the Lightroom community. Thank you."
