Contemporary views of a Traditional Streetcar Route.
On the afternoon of Sunday June 30, 2013, Pat Yough and I visited Media, Pennsylvania to photograph SEPTA's Route 101 Streetcar.

A century ago, single-track streetcar lines graced many American towns. The era of the electric trolley car faded decades ago. Today, Media is virtually in class by itself. Historic re-creations aside, where else in the USA does a single-track streetcar route serve "Main Street"?
The 101 Route is one of two SEPTA (former Red Arrow) streetcar lines radiating from its 69th Street Terminus in Upper Darby in suburban Philadelphia. The other trolley line is the 102 route to Sharon Hill. 69th Street is also served by the Route 100 high-speed interurban line to Norristown (the old Philadelphia & Western line) and the Market-Frankford elevated.

Q: Como fazer um if comparando um valor com uma lista em um yml? Recebo uma requisição e quero verificar se aquele canal está em uma lista que criei no yml.
Meu método:
    private void insereNome (String canal, ListaNomeWebRequest listaNomeWebRequest){
    if(canal.contains(("${canais}"))){
        listaNomeWebRequest.setStatus("OK");
    }
}

meu yml:
canais:
  abc: abc

Dessa forma, ele não ta conseguindo verificar se contém o canal abc para comparar. Poderiam me ajudar?
Obs: Já tentei sem o $.

A: Sugiro você injetar os valores do seu arquivo utilizando @ConfigurationProperties:
@ConfigurationProperties(prefix="app")
public class MinhaClasse {

    public void insereNome (String canal, ListaNomeWebRequest listaNomeWebRequest){
        if( canais.contains(canal) ) {
            listaNomeWebRequest.setStatus("OK");
        }
    }

    public List<String> getCanais() {
        return this.canais;
    }
}

Seu arquivo yaml também está na estrutura errada, você deve utilizar uma lista conforme abaixo:
app:
    canais:
         - abc
         - bcd
         - cde

Also a special arts and crafts corner was designated for all ages to paint and decorate wood figures allowing their inner artist to shine through. The big showstopper, and my personal favorite, is the AMAZING train shaped birthday cake designed and made by Parker's Aunt! It truly is a work of art. The details are so intricate, I wouldn't have wanted to cut into it! To see this amazing masterpiece and much more, climb on board the Birthday Party Express and let's celebrate Conductor Parker turning ONE!

Als Bergsteiger gegen Italien ist der 1918 erschienene Debütroman von Gustav Renker. Darin berichtet er über seine alpinistischen Erlebnisse im Ersten Weltkrieg. Er stellt den heldenhaften Gebirgsbewohner dem "degenerierten Grossstadtmenschen" gegenüber und verfocht dabei ein Ideal der Männlichkeit, das der "Erneuerung durch Krieg" Ernst Jüngers ähnelte.

DCC Technology Acquires Stampede, Creating Unprecedented New Opportunities for ProAV Manufacturers and Resellers
Published at June 22, 2018
Stampede Presentation Products
AMHERST, NEW YORK, June 22, 2018 —Stampede, the global leader in value added ProAV distribution, today announced that company President & COO Kevin Kelly will be a featured speaker at Integrate 2018, taking place in Sydney, Australia from August 22-24, 2018 at the ICC Sydney Convention Center.
Kelly will speak on the "AV Applications of Drones and How AV Integrators Can Benefit from Adding Them to Their Portfolio" on Wednesday, August 22, 2018 in Room 5.4. The hour-long presentation will run from 14:30 to 15:30 (4:30PM to 5:30PM).
"First responders, broadcast news journalists, security guards, real estate sales agents, land surveyors, filmmakers, and more — unmanned aerial vehicles can and being used in all of these fields," Kelly said today. "They are improving the accuracy of information collection, accelerating the speed with which information is collected, eliminating risk to human life, dramatically reducing traditional operating costs — and creating an entirely new field for professional UAV operators. My presentation will cover the range of opportunities this new product category presents to AV integrators and their customers."
Globally, the UAV market is projected to grow from (USD) $13.8-billion in 2016 to (USD) $48.9-billion by 2023. Integrators are strategically positioned to profit from this opportunity, but to do so they need to be able to develop a strategy and create a plan that meets the specific needs of individual vertical markets, according to Kelly.

The Ear, the Eye, and the Arm is a children's science fiction novel by Nancy Farmer. It was awarded a Newbery Honor. The novel is set in Zimbabwe in the year 2194, with a strong theme of Afrofuturism.

Combining elements of science fiction and African culture, the book depicts the struggle of a notorious general's three children to escape from their kidnappers in the technologically advanced and crime-infested capital of Zimbabwe.

Plot
In Zimbabwe in the year 2194, Chief of Security General Matsika leads a battle against the gangs which terrorize the nation. His three children, Tendai, Rita, and Kuda, are kept in a fortified mansion to ensure their security. Seeking adventure to earn the Scout Badge, they escape the house with the help of the Mellower, a praise singer employed by their parents. The children then find themselves in the busy streets of Mbare Musika, where they are kidnapped and taken to Dead Man's Vlei, the lair of the She Elephant, a child trafficker. There, they are forced to work in the plastic mines. Their parents enlist the help of the Ear, the Eye, and the Arm, three mutant detectives. Ear has super-sensitive hearing; Eye has hawk-like vision; Arm has empathic powers which allow him to sense others' feelings and see into their souls.

Tendai realizes that the She Elephant is planning to sell them to the Masks, a gang who have evaded General Matsika's efforts to combat crime. The siblings escape to Resthaven, an independent country within Zimbabwe which aims to retain traditional African culture. Eventually, the children are banished from Resthaven.

The children seek help from the Mellower's mother, Mrs. Horsepool-Worthingham, who takes them into her care. Tendai discovers that the Mellower's mother is holding them for ransom. The She Elephant again captures the children and takes them to one of the Masks' secret lairs. The Masks take the children to the Mile-High MacIlwaine, a skyscraper which houses the Gondwannan Embassy, the real headquarters of the Masks.

While the Masks attempt to sacrifice Tendai to their gods, Arm is possessed by a mhondoro, a holy and legendary spirit of the land, who helps him to find the children. When Arm is knocked out, the mhondoro helps Tendai and his friends to incapacitate the Big-Head Mask, a manifestation of a Gondwannan god. When the children's parents arrive, the She Elephant crushes the Mask, and the mhondoro revives Arm. The gang is destroyed and their stolen wealth is redistributed among the poor. The children reunite with their parents, and General Matsika allows his children to have freedom.

Reception
Kirkus Reviews found that "Farmer has created a splendidly imaginative fantasy", while Publishers Weekly wrote "Farmer uses her knowledge of Africa to imagine a city in 23rd-century Zimbabwe, combining old traditions and speculative technology with delightfully entertaining results", and concluded "Farmer is emerging as one of the best and brightest authors for the YA audience".

An impact analysis brief published by Resilinc entitled "El Niño: A Test of CPO Leadership and Your Supply Chain Resiliency Culture," provides a basic primer on El Niño from a supply chain perspective and what to expect for the 2015-2016 season. It leverages the Etau experience to illustrate a potential scenario that could repeat itself. It warns that if Chief Procurement Officers (CPOs) have not prioritized supply chain risk management capabilities for their organization, the coming months will prove challenging for their organizations. For those who prepare, global supply chain disruption events are viewed not as threats but as opportunities to gain competitive advantage. The brief concludes with a checklist and action plan that CPOs can use to assess the state of their resiliency strategy leadership and SCRM culture.

Safelift Offshore Set to Expand
Safelift Offshore, an Inverurie-based manufacturer of manual handling equipment, is moving to new premises to meet customer demand, thanks to a six figure funding deal from Royal Bank of Scotland.
In total, an investment of more than EUR 1.1 million will be made by the company in its expansion to enhance its services and product provision. The Safelift designs, manufactures and supplies a range of manual handling equipment for the offshore oil and gas industry. It also offers auditing and advisory services to clients. Peter Innes, founder and Managing Director of Safelift Offshore, established the business in 1994, and has overseen the company's growth from three members of staff to 38. The business is currently split across three separate locations, and the move will allow Safelift to centralise its operations.
Mr Innes says, "The safety of workers in the offshore industry must always come first, and when we started the business, there was a real need for reliable and durable equipment. Over the years, new laws and legislation have been put in place to create a safer working environment, and we take care to design and supply equipment that meets these high standards. By consolidating our offices into one location, we will be able to pool the company's expertise and continue to develop equipment and services that put the safety of offshore workers first, both in Scotland and further afield. Continual expansion and improvement is one of our aims, and the support from Royal Bank of Scotland will help us to achieve this."

Buy stock in citronella candles. Someone has to get rich in every war, and it is going to be war against the mosquitos and gnats in North Texas this summer. Halliburton has probably cornered the market on citronella.
We had eighteen straight days with rain in June setting a new record, but failed to hit the rainfall total record by about an inch. I had to use a machete to hack my way from the laundry room door through the patio vegetation to the storage shed to put away the ice chest. Came back in covered with bites. I can't decide whether to read Lord of the Flies or Heart of Darkness.

Abstract: Let be a split connected reductive algebraic group, let be the corresponding affine Hecke algebra, and let be the corresponding asymptotic Hecke algebra in the sense of Lusztig. When , and the parameter is specialized to a prime power, Braverman and Kazhdan showed recently that for generic values of , has codimension two as a subalgebra of , and described a basis for the quotient in spectral terms. In this note we write these functions explicitly in terms of the basis of , and further invert the canonical isomorphism between the completions of and , obtaining explicit formulas for each basis element in terms of the basis of . We conjecture some properties of this expansion for more general groups. We conclude by using our formulas to prove that acts on the Schwartz space of the basic affine space of , and produce some formulas for this action.

Palin makes brief mention of Ryan, Romney in V.P. statement
(CNN) - Sarah Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee, had little to say to her 2012 counterpart in a statement released nearly twelve hours after Mitt Romney made his running mate announcement.
"Congratulations to Mitt Romney on his choice of Congressman Paul Ryan as his running mate," Palin wrote in a statement, which mentioned Romney's name only four times and Ryan's name only three out of over 1,100 words. The statement was posted on her Facebook page.
- Follow the Ticker on Twitter: @PoliticalTicker
- Check out the CNN Electoral Map and Calculator and game out your own strategy for November.
By the second sentence - and for the next 13 paragraphs - she focused her attention on President Barack Obama.
"Barack Obama's record is one of dismal failure, which is why he isn't talking about it," she wrote in the statement, which was posted Saturday evening. "He would rather spend his time demonizing his opponents."
To the current candidate's credit, she continued, "The simple fact remains that Mitt Romney is not responsible for the dire state of our economy or the corruption and incompetence of the current administration."
In a negative way, she said "Obama's vision for America will make the rest of the country look like California, minus the beautiful scenery and warm weather," citing the state's spending on a stalled train project, environmental policies, unemployment, taxes, and "endless budget shortfalls."
Palin has endorsed candidates in races for the U.S. Senate, but has not formerly endorsed Romney. She said she voted for former GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich in the Alaska primary, and encouraged voters in early primary states to support him.
"Please continue to focus on the presidential race and on helping Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, but it's also imperative that we get involved in the nation's important House and Senate races," she wrote. "These candidates need our help to ensure that our next president has a responsible and ethical Congress that actually gets things done for America. Now on to November!"
Palin recently made headlines after former Vice President Dick Cheney said in an interview that McCain's selection of Palin was a "mistake" for 2008 GOP presidential nominee John McCain - a notion on which she strenuously pushed back.
- CNN's Gregory Wallace and Peter Hamby contributed to this report.

I'm quite sure McCain is kicking himself ....
What a disaster this woman is!!!if only he could turn back The hands of time....did someone say duct tape??

Jealousy is a green-eyed monster named Sarah Palin. She ruined McCain's chances with her vacuous person, blatant egoism, and ignorance and now she's pouting she won't be picked again and didn't even get picked ot headline the convention. I cannot wait for the media to forget her. Cannot come sooner.
Slightly Left of Center
@Honey Badger
Just ignore her and maybe she'll go away....
Wishful thinking. Remember the movie "Fatal Attraction" where the crazy broad says, "I won't be ignored, Dan." That's Palin. She will say and do anything to be noticed because she refuses to accept that she's not important.
I am sure no one cares what Palin thinks or say.
politicalgumhockey
Okay, bottom line. Palin is irrelevant. Stop wasting our time printing anything this woman says. It's just embarrassing to you as a news organization. Talk about real things.
amax66
The socialest progressive democrats are flapping their lips attempting to assinate ones character, it would appear yopu have a ring in your nlose and when your chain is jerked you bark very well. Governor Paliin can do much much more good as a freelalnce political operative than being weighted down by the republican party.
tavi scott
Will she ever go away she grabs any opportunity to be in the limelight and on the news Her whole crew belongs on reality shows and not sure those viewers should have to suffer
Sadie Boyd
She is so cute and sassy, I just adore her! What about a Ryan/Palin ticket? They would be so cute...Romney is weird and doesn't seem to understand regular folk.
drake mallard
What's happening to Romney is the American People are seeing what this man is all about. He is known for being a coward, ran to France under the guise of his church. In many circles he is a good business man, in others he is a man who broke other men down by closing their companies, these men lost their insurance, lost their pensions and lost their income, to top it off the govt. had to step in with millions to save their retirement income they worked for so many years to save. and he keeps his money offshore and won't admit to what he's playing in taxes. Total CON ARTIST!!!!
Anyone in their right mind can't vote Romney.
George Romney resisted releasing a single year of taxes, arguing that it wouldn't present an accurate picture...but then he made a surprising offer: He would release the past 12 years of tax returns...That way, it wouldn't look like a stunt
When is pres. Obama going to stage his assasination so he can invoke marshall law. I need to know so I can stock up on beer and groceries, jeez I hope my cable tv doesn't go out!
Elucidated1
The only credibility for Sarah Palin is with those over 65 and Sean Hannity. She may have her place on Fox. .but the GOP stallwarts give her NO credibility.
winstonsmith
Translation: All Barack Obama can do is demonize his opponents! Barack is THE ANTI-CHRIST! AHHH!
Lori-Ross
Sarah Palin is just a word salad talking seeking media attention. If one attempts to listen to her, it appears that she is incoherent while putting just stringing a lot of words together that make no sense. Sly like a fox getting paid by Fox for talking crazy.
Palin embraces a solid conservative ideology but is a political lightweight. She is self-serving and has shot herself in the foot on multiple ocassions. She is not a significant voice in the GOP. There is no comparing she and Ryan. And it laughable to attempt to compare Biden and Ryan. Ryan adds considerable substance to the Romney ticket.
People still listen to her?
A not-so-stupid former republican
Is this beache still alive? She needs to go back to cooking moose stew and keeping her mouth shut.
PhilG
I like Sarah Palin.
She's honest.
She's is no world politician but she is honest.
I hope she does'nt have any more plastic surgery-she is beautiful just as she is.
Sarah,you are o.k. by me.
Martin Walters Seattle
Two years in local Government leadership and she is now a national expert ! Sarah Palin sums up the Republican Party pretty well.
Tonyb
and again- she has a voice Why?
why does she count?
Wow! Who cares what Palin thinks? How is she relevant to anything going on today? Isn't it time for her to fade in the background?
steven harnack
In the back of her mind(which is pretty much the whole thing) she just knew that the Party, in desperation, would reach out to HER to come to the rescue again Her lukewaem response is probably because she is just sure that at the convention her masses of adoring followers will be demanding that she accept the nomination for President.(at least VP?)
I just looked up "responsible" and "ethical" in the dictionary (a book that Palin has probably never cracked). It turns out that those definitions don't say anything about being obstructionist, or hypocritical, or about running on a platform of limited government and fiscal responsibility but then turning your attention to a hate-filled agenda about denying people their freedom of choice or the freedom for two people to marry each other. I must be voting for a different Congress.
Luv da teats

I'll take her opinion as seriously as any other hockey mom's opinion

Although he could be doing this in AA or AAA and not start his clock.
I don't at all understand the benefit of doing it in the majors that outweighs starting his clock.

I don't know why people around here have so much trouble figuring this out...
Latos's arrival right now as opposed to the start of the 2010 season has NO impact on when he will be eligible for either arbitration or free agency. None. Zero.
If the club had waited until April for him to make his big league debut, he would have been eligible for arbitration after the 2012 season and free agency after the 2016 season. By bringing him up now, he'll be eligible for arbitration after the 2012 season and free agency after 2016.
He got promoted to Eugene (from AZL).. in his 1st start (today) 8 IP 7 H 1R 1ER 1BB and 3 SO... ERA 1.13 NICE
By the way at LE tonight.. Matt Clark 1B - went deep 2 times... as did Darnell 3B .. Darnell had a little trouble finding his bat after the jump from Ft Wayne -- But not his power -- he has 6 HR's since arriving at LE (Clark 4).. Clark is hitting close to .400 to Darnells .250 so far..
Chris Fetter also moved from Eugene to Ft Wayne.. the 6-8" fireballer.. pitched an excellent 4.1 IP (for a rain delay)
and Carrillo probably pitched his best game of the year...Carrillo, C (W, 8-4) 7.0 6 1 1 1 3 0 4.34 to improve to 8-4.
Indeed. Nice to see him move up to Eugene where he ought to be anyway.
Cesar Carrillo took Latos' turn tonight. 7IP 1ER, 6H 1BB 3K. Three starts in a row at least 7IP and 1ER. Strike outs are still non-existant.
Why was a 22-year old college pitcher in the Arizona Rookie League?
Roster. Filler.
Originally posted by old_padre View Post
Well he wouldn't be eligible for arb until 2013 if the team waited until (when is it, late may?) in 2010. That's probably stretching it for someone as dominant as he's been. But then again, he started this year in low-A.
Originally posted by SloppyChris View Post
For that matter, they could have waited to promote him until 2011, and then they'd have him under team control through 2017.
If it means an extra year of the 21 year-old being very good for the same price of a year of him being kinda ****ty, especially if the kinda ****ty year is when the team sucks, then it might not be that bad an idea.
Felix Hernandez is having his breakout, dominant year. But he'll be in his second go-round of arbitration (I assume). That's awful.
He's really starting to turn in consistent performances. Sure, strikeouts would definitely be nice. But outs are outs. I realize he was supposed to be better than this, but at this point I'll take what I can get from him.
I think it would be pretty inexcusable to wait nearly a full year (to avoid a super-two status for him, they'd need to wait until sometime in June next year) to bring him up if they think him pitching for the club all of next year offers the team the best chance to be moderately decent, rather than getting him up here now to get his feet wet.
And if they intend to be competitive by 2011 (and if they don't, we should all pack it in and go find a different team to root for), maximizing the big league innings he gets in before that point is the only move that makes sense.
EDIT: And if they don't think him pitching for the big league club all of next year offers them the best opportunity to have some success in 2010, then either I'm really missing something, or they're planning to conjur up some amazing pitchers in the next eight months.
We're talking one month for a team that is most likely NOT going to be competetive next season for yes, a player who is 21 and was in A ball at the beginning of this season. So yeah, I think it might have been more prudent to hold him back, at least as long as possible.
We're talking one month for a team that is most likely NOT going to be competetive next season for yes, a player who is 21 and was in A ball at the beginning of this season.
Math is hard for me, so can you explain that?

Our correspondent added that "Haj Sadiq", an Iranian leader, received today condolences for the killing of Qassem Soleimani at the Iranian Cultural Center in Al-Qusour neighborhood in Deir Ezzor.
In a related context, the areas of Deir Ezzor under the control of Assad's forces and Russian and Iranian militias witnessed an alert among the Iranian militias after the American air strike on the Iranian positions near Baghdad, that resulted in the killing of a number of senior Iranian military leaders, including the General in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Qassem Soleimani.
It is indicated that the United States occasionally carries out air strikes on Iranian military positions in Syria and Iraq.

Guess who is coming to the Wapahani High School stage? "Winnie the Pooh/Winnie the Pooh/Tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff." That's right. That "silly old bear" Winnie the Pooh is! The Wapahani High School Drama Club will proudly present Winnie-the-Pooh dramatized by Kristin Sergel from the stories of A.A. Milne and presented by special arrangement with The Dramatic Publishing Company in Woodstock, Illinois on Thursday, March 8; Friday, March 9; and Saturday, March 10, 2018 at 7PM in the WHS Auditorium. Tickets will be $5.00 for those school age and older.
Directed by high school English and speech teacher Mr. Ken Robinson, Winnie-the-Pooh features three adventures from the famous book by A.A. Milne: Pooh's attempt to reach some honey, Pooh's and the other animals' in the Hundred Acre Wood reactions to the arrival of "a fierce creature", and Pooh getting stuck in the door of Rabbit's hole. Narrated by an unseen voice, junior Gwendolyn Howell, the stories come from the imagination of Christopher Robin played by eighth grader Kevin Robinson.
Winnie the Pooh is brought to life by sophomore Parker Clingerman. The show also features the familiar characters of Piglet played by eighth grader Sofia Murrell, Owl portrayed by senior Joselyn Hittson, Eeyore played by junior Logan Headley, Kanga played by freshman Syndal Hittson, Roo played by freshman Macy Anderson, and Rabbit played by junior Paige Miller. Other forest animals are played by eighth grader Nolan Cherry, sixth graders Gracie Crow and Mia Tomey, and freshman Jaden Thompson. The cast is rounded out by other extras from the elementary school, Asa Leisure and Sage Murrell as other forest animals.
A special raffle will also be held in conjunction with the play. One lucky child will win the plush Winnie-the-Pooh doll used in the production! Also, other related figures and plush toys will also be raffled off. All proceeds will go to help offset the costs of the show. Tickets will be 25 cents each or 5/$1 and will be available each night of the show, and the drawing will be held on Saturday night after the final performance. Winners need not be present to win.
The Drama Club and Mr. Robinson chose Winnie-the-Pooh with the younger members of their audience specifically in mind. "We wanted to give the children something to show them that watching a play can be fun and exciting for them as well as for adults. The show brings out several themes that we all can relate to: what it means to be a true friend, not jumping to conclusions, and the importance of working together." The cast is quick to point out that the show should appeal to both adults and children. Although it does not appear in this particular version, a specific quote from the original book summarizes the themes quite well. Christopher Robin is getting ready to start school, and he says to Winnie-the-Pooh, "'Promise me, you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.'" As can be seen, he's not just a "silly old bear" after all.
The Drama Club and Mr. Robinson hope that families will come out and enjoy the show together on Thursday, March 8; Friday, March 9; or Saturday, March 10. For further information, call the high school office at (765) 289-7323.

Underground Generation Going Further
Discoveries Interviews
Our conversation with the artist of the day: Johnny Steven
By the-further / septembre 10, 2020
Today, we met with our freshest discovery. He is a Puerto Rican Artist, born in Brooklyn, and he has just dropped a new project to the world: let us introduce you to Johnny Steven.
His latest EP " Euphoria" has made our day thanks to a pleasant journey between Reggaeton, R&B, and Hip-hop. From "La Vida", to "Ella Es Para Mi", the 4 tracks project is attractive from start to finish. Press play right now and Rendez-vous below to discover our conversation with Johnny Steven.
Welcome to our redaction. Can you introduce yourself and tell us how you started to make music?
I'm a 24 years old musician and producer from Brooklyn NY raised in Puerto Rico. Since a really young age I fell in love with music, at the age of 12 I started learning how to play different instruments like the guitar, piano and drums. At the age of 15 I was already playing Cover Songs in local businesses in "Levittown" but it wasn't till 2015 that a new wave of Puerto Rican rappers made popular the so-called genres "Trap And R&B" in Puerto Rico and all Latin America that I became inspired in writing my own original songs. I stood behind the curtains building my own home studio and learning how to make beats, how to produce, how to mix and master. Learning how the industry works in order to make it as an independent artist… Now, finally feeling ready in 2020 I debuted with a 4 song EP called "Euphoria"
What inspires you to write music?
Sometimes Composing and writing music is the best way for me to express certain feelings and experiences. A lot of us have many things in common like having our heartbroken or going through to some life struggle. Making people feel that they aren't the only ones going through that is what really inspires me to make music.
Do you have a specific creative process?
It all depends on how i'm feeling. If there's something that I got to express and get out of my chest or if I'm just trying to have a little fun. But mostly i'm just smoking and vibin till something comes out.
Can you tell us more about your latest release Euphoria EP?
Euphoria EP is a 4 songs project I composed in a really melancholic stage of my life… I thought it was a good idea to debut with a really personal craft.
Can you share your future plans?
I got a lot coming in the near future including lots of reggaeton and dancehall. I'm going to be focusing in singles for the rest of 2020 but im planning on releasing another EP for next year.

Welcome to day 5. I love today's quote. It can be so scary to set high expectations for ourselves. I know! But, if we set our goals high and fall short, it's totally okay. So reach for the sky and believe yourself. You at least deserve that, right? If you achieve your wildest dreams that's awesome. If you don't, I be you'll achieve something equally as awesome that you weren't even expecting. It's a win-win!
Additional "homework" Write down some goals that you want to achieve this year and don't sell yourself short!
