This 60 minute future workplace trends webinar is designed to help inform those who are focused on creating the organization that will thrive in 2020 and beyond.
A. The gig economy has its roots in the services sector – with companies like Task Rabbit and Plated; but this model includes Uber drivers and people who rent their space out on AirBnB. Also – workers in the technology sector have embraced this new model since software can be written anywhere anytime. And it is hugely successful in the design and graphics space.
Young workers in general tend to job-hop more, while older workers stay with one organization for longer. There is no reason right now to think that the patterns for Gen Z will be any different. The main aspect that could impact their average job tenure is the same as it always has been: the economy. People change jobs more often during times of economic growth, and turnover rates slow down during an economic slump. Gen Z will not job hop more than anyone else under ~34, and will stay with employers longer the older they get.
Q: You mentioned the importance of transparency in working with Gen Z employees – can you talk a bit more about that?
A: Gen Z has grown up with radical transparency tools as the default. Now with a few google searches and some browsing through glasssdoor.com, anyone can find out a good deal more about your company than has ever before been available. Leaders and organizations will never have more control over information than they do now.
Because so much information is readily available, Gen Z expects that this information will also readily be shared. Whether it is about internal decision-making, the structure or priorities of the company, or your own approach to your work, Gen Z believes that more is more when it comes to information.
To work well with Gen Z employees, develop a bias toward disclosure when it comes to your work, your priorities, and your strengths and weaknesses. When possible, look for opportunities to let them provide feedback or their point of view on the organization so you encourage them to be transparent as well. If you can earn their trust you will keep these your entrepreneurial workers engaged!
A: Innovation Centers provide a range of benefits including providing access and exposure to the newest technologies and how they might be used to acquire a deeper understand of customer needs. We also see them being used to drive innovation by fostering relationships with university researchers and actively identifying and connecting established companies with mentors and start-ups.
Q: Do you think the the 'middle-career' group had to turn to Gig Employment because they have a hard time finding full-time corporate work?
A: More and more middle career employees are looking to do something new – perhaps inspired by the entrepreneurial spirit of Millennial and Gen Zs. As cost cutting continues to have an impact on headcount at large companies, many people find they would rather not go back into a corporate job but are willing to either start their own business or work as a free-lancer for many different clients. Both technology and culture make this much easier than ever before.
Q: what are some of the best places or sites to begin to curate MOOCs if you're just beginning?
Q: What are the pros and cons of curating MOOCs vs creating your own?
A: To create really impactful MOOC requires skills approaching those of a movie production studio. To do it right you really need a great videographer and editor, not to mention someone to write and also direct the course. That said – once created, you can not only control the content but can distribute it very cost effectively. Many companies are using a blended approach – finding MOOCs to curate that align with existing curriculum and creating their own where a bespoke solution is the best option.

High Court challenge for £1.2bn Teesside waste recycling deal
Covanta Energy issues legal proceedings against waste recycling firm that plans to build £200m plant at Wilton
An artist's impression of what the new Wilton 11 plant will look like
A £1.2bn deal to send Merseyside's household waste to Teesside for recycling - set to create 250 jobs - could be thrown into jeopardy by a High Court challenge.
Merseyside Recycling Waste Authority (MRWA) says it will "vigorously defend" its decision to award the £1.2bn deal to SITA UK.
It comes after unsuccessful bidder Covanta Energy issued legal proceedings.
Bosses at MRWA also claim the legal challenge will not stop work progressing on a 30-year contract which will see the £200m Wilton 11 energy-from-waste plant built on Teesside.
Wilton 11
Covanta Energy issued a 109-page submission to the court, despite MRWA claiming it had conducted an "extensive and fair" procurement process.
The company is asking the court to order MRWA to set aside the decision not to award the contract to them.
It is also asking for MRWA to be required not to enter into a contract with SITA without further opportunity for tenders to be submitted.
The documents says the defendant found certain aspects of the claimant's tender as being "fundamentally unacceptable".
Carl Beer, MRWA's chief executive, said: "Merseyside Waste Disposal Authority (MRWA's statutory name) announced its preferred bidder for the Merseyside and Halton waste resource and recovery contract following an extensive competitive procurement.
"The preferred bidder is a consortium led by SITA.
"Covanta, the unsuccessful bidder, has decided to challenge this decision and has issued legal proceedings against the authority in order to do so.
"MWDA regrets this action by Covanta.
"While it is appreciated that an unsuccessful bidder will naturally be disappointed at the outcome, MWDA has conducted an extensive and fair procurement process over several years and is confident that the most economically advantageous solution has been selected for Merseyside.
"MWDA therefore rejects the challenge made by Covanta and intends to vigorously defend the claim brought against it."
The scheme will create around 200 construction and 50 permanent positions - most of them on Teesside.
MRWA has previously claimed the proposed contract will save Liverpool City Council and its partner authorities �145m in landfill cost savings, and had the support of all six district councils that form the Merseyside and Halton Waste Partnership.
A spokesperson for MRWA said work on the deal would continue.
"SITA and MRWA are working together to progress the contract."

Informations sur le produit "I-CLIP Heritage Gold Blasted"
In a limited edition of only 24, 9 of which are with diamonds and 15 without, this I-CLIP is becoming one of the most coveted collector's objects for all lovers of iced gold jewellery, a rare piece of contemporary history.
In 2020, when these I-CLIPs were made, the introduction of all the new metal / heritage I-CLIPs to the market was postponed by a year (because of the 'world economic crisis').
That explains the collector status of this first I-CLIP in solid gold and ensures that this investment will preserve a value far beyond its material worth.
As long as you have this I-CLIP, you will always remain solvent. Similar to a high-quality watch.
Of course, we hope that these models really will also be worn and not just vanish into the safes of this world. For that reason, the first 3 serial numbers, numbers 6 and 7, and the last number will only be passed on to selected applicants (celebrities and public figures). We will be reserving number 1 of each series for a social project by a star or organisation, where it will be auctioned off for a good cause. All the other serial numbers can be purchased here or after consultation with our boss. Alternatively, we will also cater to special wishes as regards the design of the leather.
We promise that these I-CLIPs will remain unique. Although there has not yet been a final decision on this, the potential 2022 heritage gold models, if there are any, will definitely be different.
Nous sommes là pour vous !

The Senate Sergeant-at-Arms office has agreed to look into concerns raised by a longtime Senate staffer that the Senate Hair Care Services shop located in the Russell Building is ill-equipped to serve black clients.
"When you walk in there, you wanna feel: 'Yeah, I can get my hair cut [here],'" said Robert Foster, a black 33-year Capitol Hill veteran and professional staffer on the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee.
Instead, Foster asserted, he found prominently displayed photographs depicting hairstyles aimed at white customers, hair care products predominantly oriented for Caucasian clients and barbers who — by and large — do not know how to handle the hair care needs of black patrons.
"The world is changing, and the barber shop is going to have to change with it," said Foster, adding that the Senate's diverse work force necessitates that the shop provide an equal level of service for all its employees.
Foster, who no longer patronizes the shop, said he notified the Rules and Administration Committee a month ago about his concerns and was consequently contacted by a "high-ranking official" from the office of Sergeant-at-Arms Bill Pickle. He was told that his concerns will be addressed.
But the barber shop's management rejected suggestions that its services and products overlook black needs.
The shop's manager, who refused to give his name, said he does not give media interviews. But he did insist that "we do have" hair care products geared toward black patrons. The Sergeant-at-Arms office identified the manager as Mario D'Angelo.
"We've always had them," he later added.
But Charlie Rollins, the current Supreme Court barber, insists this isn't so. Rollins spent a decade as a Senate barber before retiring in 2000 and heading over to the Supreme Court.
Rollins said that, during the majority of his tenure in the chamber, the shop did not offer the appropriate oils, shampoos and sprays black tresses often require — though many of his clients were black.
"The reason I didn't say anything then was because the shop was scared to death they were going to be closed down because of the deficit," asserted the 57-year-old Rollins.
In the late 1990s, the Senate barber shop merged with the beauty salon as part of an effort by the Rules and Administration panel to cut costs at the habitually money-losing operation.
During the reorganization, Rollins said he told the Sergeant-at-Arms that products tailored for black hair should be added to the shop in order to avoid damaging black clients' hair.
Then-Sergeant-at-Arms Greg Casey told him, "That's a good idea. Order what you want," according to Rollins, who said he later received an award from the Sergeant-at-Arms office for his efforts to expand the shop's offerings.
Rollins eventually invited a company to put on a seminar in the shop, instructing his colleagues how to perm, condition and blow-dry the hair of black customers.
"I initiated it all, and I pushed it all. I guess when I left, the initiative left too," said Rollins.
"For African-Americans to use shampoo that a Caucasian uses, it's like washing your car with soap powder," he added.
Several black Senate employees last week echoed the claims of Foster and Rollins.
"To be honest with you, they just don't know how to cut black hair," said Shaun Gaskins, who works at the Cups & Co. coffee shop in the Russell Senate Office Building and has previously had his hair cut in the Senate barber shop.
A black Capitol Police officer said the belief that the shop, which is in the basement of the Russell Building, was mainly for whites was widely held among his black colleagues.
"They discourage us from using it. ... They have the conception that it is for Caucasians," he said.
Still, not all black staffers said they were dissatisfied with the service they received at the cuttery.
After a discussion with the representative of the Sergeant-at-Arms office a little less than two weeks ago, Foster said all of his demands — which included adding photographs that depict hairstyles suitable for diverse ethnicities, offering more black hair care products, and ensuring that at least one barber was trained to properly cut and style black hair — were agreed to.
An official from the Sergeant-at-Arms office confirmed that an individual from the office had met with Foster and that his concerns would be examined.
"They realize that this problem has not been corrected and now they are going to have to do something," said Foster, though he noted that no time frame was established during the discussion.

IOM: Need More Data on Blast Injuries
by Sarah Wickline Sarah Wickline, Staff Writer, MedPage Today February 13, 2014
There's insufficient reporting and research on the long-term health effects on U.S. veterans from blast exposure during Gulf War combat missions, according to the Institute of Medicine (IOM).
Data on "complex, multisystem injuries" associated with blast exposure has been lacking, according to the authors of the ninth installment of the IOM report "Gulf War and Health." As a result, the report committee members "relied heavily on the literature to assess the evidence on acute effects and on its own collective medical expertise to draw conclusions regarding the plausibility of long-term consequences."
"Many questions remain unanswered," said committee member Jeffrey J. Bazarian, MD, MPH, of the University of Rochester in New York, who also told MedPage Today the report authors were surprised at the paucity of research to support associations between blast exposure and long-term health conditions, such as amputations.
"The bulk of our report points out that the literature was [incomplete] in understanding the full spectrum of health consequences of blast," he explained.
In the report, the IOM committee made recommendations to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) on "how to produce research that would answer the question: What bad things does exposure to blast do to a human being?" he added.
Since 1998, the IOM has issued reports on the health of Gulf War veterans with recommendations for future research. In the latest installment looking at soldiers deployed to Afghanistan in 2001 and in Iraq in 2003, they evaluated the health effects of exposure to blast, including blast waves of "the supersonic waves of intense air pressure that follow detonation of an explosive device." They also looked at other blast mechanisms, such as blunt-force trauma from projectiles.
"Blast waves alone can affect the nervous system without leaving an obvious acute injury, and blast-related symptoms, such as persistent headache, can develop much later," Stephen L. Hauser, MD, of University of California San Francisco and committee chair, wrote in the report.
"What makes blast exposure so unique is that it not only causes an obvious wound, but there's a whole host of responses going on inside that you can't see," Bazarian reiterated. "It's very different than a gunshot wound, which causes local trauma where what you see is what you get. With a blast, what you see isn't what you get."
As the committee reviewed data published in 2012 and 2013, they classified associations between blast exposure and causation of certain health effects on a scale from "Sufficient Evidence of Causal Relationship" to "Inadequate/Insufficient Evidence of an Association."
At the top of the list, the committee found sufficient evidence for a causal relationship between blast exposure and vision loss from penetrating eye injury and functional loss in blast-exposed sex organs.
They noted sufficient evidence for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), endocrine dysfunction due to blast-related traumatic brain injury (TBI), and long-term dermal effects (cutaneous granulomas).
Major limb injuries and amputations were classified as having a limited association while balance dysfunction and vertigo were classified as having inadequate/insufficient evidence of an association.
But Bazarian noted that this ranking system was hobbled by insufficient long-term data. "We had to rely on what was published and not necessarily on what we knew to be a problem. The research has to show that it's a problem beyond 6 months for the committee to assign the highest causality label."
"If there was a group of studies that showed that blast caused or was resulting in amputation, but they didn't follow people beyond 6 months, or they didn't compare them to non-blast [injuries], then it was hard for us to say for sure that blast caused a long-term health problem related to that amputation. So even though limb amputations after blast exposure damage would seem obviously associated, the data was too incomplete to allow researchers to rank it as truly causation for a long-term health effect," Bazarian explained.
He also noted that researchers focused on injuries sustained during combat, but did not offer details.
"We had lots of studies on amputations during the Iran and Iraq conflicts ... but [the studies did not identify the causes of the injuries]. Was is it a fall? Was it a vehicle accident? Was it a gunshot wound? Was it a blast? There was a lot of focus on the injury; less focus on the mechanism," he said.
Even when the researchers looked at the mechanism (blast or non-blast), "they often didn't compare the injuries in a war fighter exposed to blast to the injuries in a war fighter not exposed to blast. Without that comparison, we can't say to what extent that blast is the problem," he added.
The committee's recommendations to the VA included:
Evaluate and determine the adequacy of current approaches for detection, treatment, and rehabilitation of health outcomes after blast exposure
Conduct epidemiologic and mechanistic research to identify biomarkers of blast injury
Establish a literature clearinghouse or information repository for blast injuries that can be accessed by clinicians and researchers
Bazarian pointed out that more than any other generation of soldiers, those involved in the Gulf Wars have survived blast exposure thanks to modern medicine and improvements in battle gear. "We knew PTSD was a problem, we knew that TBI was a problem, but we only recently recognized that blast is the issue. Is blast what's making PTSD so much more frequent in these conflicts than in prior conflicts?"
He said that unless long-term, comparative, controlled research is prioritized and funded, researchers might not be able to produce comprehensive and complete data. "It's expensive and effort-intensive to follow people forward in time."
However, he acknowledged that research on blast exposure has come a long way since World War I, and progress has been made in the last 5 to 6 years. He said he hopes the committee's recommendations will inspire more comprehensive research in the future.
This research was funded by the National Academy of Sciences and U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs.

Treasures Tour George Washington's Headquarters
First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton
Washington's Headquarters
Newburgh, New York
Thank you so much, Newburgh. I am absolutely delighted to be here and to see all of you. I know it's a hot afternoon and I appreciate your coming out because that says a lot about how much you value this community and the future you think you can build here for yourselves and your families and your children and your grandchildren. That's the best kind of treasure that any of us have -- how we build a better future for all of us. And as I have been here just for a short while, I have seen with my own eyes and heard from your elected officials that kind of progress you are making here.
I want to thank your Congressman Maurice Hinchey for not only that introduction but for what he said and how he has worked to make those words a reality on behalf of the people of this area. I want to thank your Mayor for introducing the program and for herself making history because I checked -- I guess I don't need to tell you that your mayor is the first African-American women elected a mayor in New York State. Let me also thank your city council and your city manager, Harry Foor, and everyone who has worked together. I also want to thank your Superintendent and your school board who I had a chance to meet before I came out here for the work they're doing to build the next generation by improving education. I want to thank Mr. Aldridge for coming here and supporting these efforts and for the work that he does in New York State. I want to thank Arnold Moss and Nancy Abraham for what they've done here to revitalize on Landers Street housing in this city. Bob Benewise and Alison Lee and Peter Smith and everybody who has worked together to give Newburgh the reputation that it has had and that it does have -- a beautiful jewel of the Hudson River Valley. A well-deserved term. There are so many of you from the Palisades, interstates parks commission to the Kingston-Newburgh enterprise Community Commission.
All of you working together and I want to say a special word of appreciation to the woman Aisha Lindsay who sang the Star-Spangled Banner so beautifully. Every American everywhere because whenever we go anywhere, I see with my own eyes how much this country has given to all of us. There is no basis of comparison. We're a young country, we're still growing, we don't have anywhere near the history represented by our distinguished visitor -- the General Counsel from France. But we have the spirit that made America great and will continue to make America great as long as we do our part to ensure that it lives into the next century.
That's why when the President and I were talking about how we might mark the Millennium, because you know the century is going to change and the millennium is going to come whether we do anything or not. And we knew that there were lots of people planning New Year's Eve parties for the year 2000 and there'd be new products that would call themselves Millennium Toothpaste,or something. But we thought that maybe we could take some time out and just think about what it is that we valued about our country and what values we wanted to take with us into this new millennium. And so we came up with a theme, to Honor the Past and Imagine the Future. And then I decided, after talking with my husband, that one of the best ways we could do that would be by going out in our country, as I am today, and looking at places that are treasures. Places that embody the history we value but also represent the future we are building together.
So we started this effort yesterday morning at the Smithsonian in front of the great Star-Spangled Banner that flew over Fort McHenry while the British were bombarding us during the War of 1812. It lasted through the night, that September night of 1814 and because it lasted, Francis Scott Key could see that Baltimore had not fallen and could write the words that we heard sung earlier. Then I went to that Fort and I went to a monument honoring Francis Scott Key, and this morning I started in New Jersey at the invention factory where Thomas Edison invented things like the light bulb and the motion picture camera and the phonograph. Things that changed our lives forever.
And here I am now in Newburgh. Each one of these stops reminds us of the treasures we have and the ones that we are in danger of losing if we do not take action together. Newburgh, as you know better than I, is home to some of the most renowned architectural masterpieces of America -- just look behind me and look around you as you walk down these streets. Within these city limits, we see so much of America's history over the past two, three centuries. A town settled long before our revolutionary war, built by the sweat and ingenuity of people from all backgrounds and walks of life. Graced by the talent of leading architects it developed into a thriving economic and cultural center. But like many cities, particularly in the older part of our country, its fortunes fell during the depression only to rise and fall again. Today, while challenges still remain, this beautiful city is again on the verge of a rebirth that will make it possible once again to claim its rightful place in the life and history of America.
But some might ask, "Well, what does it really mean to save a building, what does it mean to honor George Washington's service as we do here at the very first historic site. You know there are a lot of other very important things that we should be worried about in our country. What difference does it make if we were finally able to restore this beautiful Dutch Reformed Church, for example? Well I answer that question in a couple of different ways. First there is a very practical answer, we know from all of our experience, that when a town like Newburgh, with the history that you have here, is able to revitalize that history, you become a beacon for economic development and tourism that creates jobs and opportunities for the people who live here day in and day out. And by virtue of investing in your past, you create a brighter future for your people. You also begin to tell yourselves and your children the story of what is special about Newburgh.
I mean it makes a difference if you are a school child in Newburgh that you know you just live maybe a few blocks from where George Washington lived after Yorketown. That makes America more real. There are children that have no idea of anything like that. And yet you can walk down, you can bicycle by a place that is so significant in our history. And what does that tell you and tell us about what our obligations as citizens might be? What does it mean that you've had so many renowned Americans come to Newburgh, making their statements and leading their causes, black and white, and every kind of background there is in the great diversity of America? Well it means that here in Newburgh, you represent America. You're not just one kind of American, you're every kind of American. And that in itself, is a great gift to you and to the rest of the country.
Because it is key that when we talk about saving America's treasures, we include everybody. You're mayor and I were walking down the street and that's one of the points she made -- is that historic preservation today is inclusive. We're not leaving anybody's history out. When I leave here and go on tomorrow and the next day, I'll be visiting Harriet Tubman's home, I'll be visiting a stop on the underground railroad, I'll be visiting with people who were among the early labor leaders of our country, I'll be going to the women's rights convention commemoration in Seneca Falls. As grateful as we are to all the great leaders, the military leaders, political leaders, business leaders, who contributed so much in making Newburgh and America what it is today. We are all so grateful to our grandfather and our grandmothers who built this country brick by brick, family by family, job by job, year after year.
So when we're talking about saving America's treasures, we are talking about saving American history for everybody. It is not just for a small group of people who like old buildings and appreciate and appreciate the beauty of architecture, that is very significant, but what those buildings stand for and what people did in those buildings, standing for religious freedom, for example, like what they did in the building behind us, that is as relevant today as it was a hundred and fifty years ago. And one of the values that America must take into the next century is an appreciation for our freedoms and our liberties and our opportunities. And one of the ways we can do that is by reminding ourselves that it wasn't very long ago that many of us did not have access to those same liberties, freedoms, and opportunities.
So what I would hope is that out of all this energy that I feel out of the exciting plans I heard from your mayor and city manager out of the partnership with the state and the federal government that the congressman talked about, we can see the kind of commitment to rebuilding Newburgh that will enable it once again to take its rightful place. And that I will have the opportunity in a couple of years to come back here and to see families living in the Landers street development. To see more of the houses I drove by that were boarded up open once again, for residential and business purposes for people who are here. And that many of the significant pieces of architecture that have survived despite the ravages of neglect and weather will be renovated, and put to new use, and will be once again sending out their messages of why they were important and still are.
Now how does that happen? It doesn't happen by waving a magic wand, we know that. It happens by everybody rolling up their sleeves and getting to work, and contributing in whatever way is possible, it happens because people put aside trivial differences and work for the common good for something bigger than any of us can possibly represent. It happens because we take care of the basics. You know the congressman referred to the President's program to put more police on the streets. Well you know you can't have preservation in a neighborhood if you can't go outside can you? You can't care very much about history, if you're worried about your safety. So preservation is not just about buildings, it is about the quality of life, it is about the possibilities of life, it is about individual choices every single day. So let me thank you for being such caretakers of one of America's treasures. Let me thank you for what you are doing to pull together to commit yourselves to giving all that you can to making Newburgh all that it can be because you know and the rest of the country will know that if you're able to fulfill your dreams for what Newburgh can be in the future, that you will see not only beautiful buildings, but jobs, economic opportunities, tourists, vital changes that will literally recast the future of the residents of this city. That is my hope, so that when we leave here, I want progress reports, I want the mayor to let me know how saving Newburgh treasures is proceeding and I want to return sometime in the 21st century to see for myself what the citizens of Newburgh have made. God Bless you and good luck.

Artist Michael Murphy of Milledgeville, GA want's to get the conversation about gun control going. On display at the Association for Visual Arts (AVA) in Chattanooga TN until the end of June.
Full story and details over at the Times Free Press.
Like most gun related art, the intended purpose of this is to get people to complain about how "guns kill people" and how we should ban them. I'm obviously not for that, but I would like this badass installation in the foyer of my ENDO mansion someday. Sadly the nature of pingpong balls means they will blow around a lot in the breeze I'll be getting off the ocean. Michael Murphy and I will have to figure something out… maybe platinum balls painted black just to make people mad?
Lots more pictures on Michael Murphy's website.
Brass Balls, for ultimate bragging.
Different caliber bullets and cannonballs for the win.
Yet another artist "Using the iconography of firearms to protest gun violence". Creative piece, not creative idea.
Pretty amazing… But, too much time on your hands, bro! How about re-directing that creativity into selling our Politicians on some real gun-violence legislation?
Oh my! This striking image has shown me the true cost of my so called rights! I'm partly responsible for the loss of brazilloins of lives! I'm just a cog in the military industrial complex! Can I ever be forgiven!!!!
No but really, what this reminds me of is all the money that I spend on these damn things! I need to sell some of this crap and pay off my credit cards. Anybody want to buy a Civil War era musket? Anybody?


We've all been there. It's late, and after a night out with friends, a craving arrives. The question is, what to eat? Sweet or savory, all around the world cultures have invented mouthwatering dishes that will satisfy those late night hankerings.
Whether they are fried snacks or street food finds, hangover foods are often indulgent and always delicious. And if one thing's for certain, after a night out at the bar, calorie counting is not on the brain. In fact, many cultures thrive on street food snacking as a way of life.
To hit the spot, we've come up with a list of the best drinking food. Some dishes are tied to deep regional tradition, while some are new inventions—but they're all delicious.
Often called "Japanese pizza" or a "Japanese pancake" this regional Hiroshima and Kansai specialty packs a punch. Prepared to order on griddles, this savory delight is piled high with a huge variety of ingredients. Typically a thin layer of batter is topped with eggs, cabbage, meat (often pork belly), squid, noodles, and cheese topped with special sauce.
Made by braising or simmering pork in lard for hours until tender, pork carnitas originated in the Mexican state of Michoacán. The juicy, seasoned meat is then served with cilantro, salsa, and guacamole on tortillas.
Who doesn't love a donut? But our undisputed favorite has to be Duck Donuts, which originated on the Outer Banks and has now spread through Georgia, Virginia, and the East Coast. Fresh, warm donuts are constantly churned out, made to order right before your eyes. As you watch your donut travel down the conveyor belt, pick glazes like peanut butter, maple, and cinnamon sugar. And if that weren't enough, sprinkle on a little bacon, shredded coconut, or Oreos.
There's nothing more indulgent—or Canadian—than poutine. Originating from Quebec, they've become the symbolic national drinking snack. French fried smothered with cheese curds and gravy, what more can you ask for? Oh yes, some restaurants have taken to also adding a variety of meats to up the ante. Poutine has even made its way across the border, with the New Jersey variant "Disco Fries." Switching out the cheese curds for Mozzarella or Provolone, they originated as a late night snack in diners after the discos closed.
It's impossible to visit Argentina without trying at least one empanada. This stuffed bread pastry can be found across Latin America, but have a special stronghold in Argentina. Specialty shops churn out a huge variety of empanadas, with different regions perfecting slightly different recipes. In Buenos Aires, a meat-stuff empanada is a fast food staple—a quick, cheap treat to satisfy cravings.
Haggis may not be everyone's cup of tea, but this national dish of Scotland can be used to make bite size Haggis balls. Traditionally accompanied by whiskey, it's no wonder these fried treats are often served with a whiskey mustard sauce.
Islak burgers, also known as "Wet burgers," is an unmistakable staple of Istanbul street food. It's impossible to miss the vendors, who stand at every corner with carts fitted with a transparent box full of burgers. What makes them wet? That would be the tomato-based sauced they are dunked in before going inside the steamy box. It may sound odd but these local favorites fly out of the box at 2 am, as late night snackers devour the garlicky patties.
Originating from the area around Rome, these fried rice balls are called "al telefono" for a clever reason. The balls, which contain rice and a tomato meat sauce, include a mozzarella center. After the balls have been fried, the string of melted cheese is reminiscent of a telephone cord—back when we used phones with cords. This cheap snack is commonly found as an appetizer in pizzerias and shops selling pizza by the slice.
If you are looking for something sweet to end your evening, you may want to hop on the next plane to El Salvador. The fried plantains have a light caramel coating and are topped with a scoop of condensed milk. The indulgent treat is often eaten for breakfast, but is available at all hours of the day from street vendors.
Hot dogs and french fries are classics, but what if they were combined together and put on a stick? That's basically what you have in Seoul, where street vendors sell hotdogs on a stick, spiral-wrapped with one long, delicious french fry.
This traditional Georgian dish has all the makings of a perfect hangover snack. Khachapuri is cheese stuffed bread topped with egg and is the country's national dish. Shaped like a boat, the bread's crust is ripped off and used to dip into the gooey center. To understand how much of a staple it is, inflation is actually measured against the price of making it, something called the Khachapuri index.
Pizza is a go-to staple after any night of drinking, but there's nothing quite like the New York dollar slice. People rhapsodize about the quest for the perfect $1 slice, a phenomenon that started popping up in Manhattan in the late-00s. In a town full of high end options, at the end of the day, there's no beating this budget-friendly snack.
Street food and Russia might not seem like a likely pairing, but there are no shortage of snacks that pair well with a beer. Chebureki are tiny fried pockets filled with mince meat and onion, a seemingly humble food that was the national dish of the Crimean Tartars.
A term for all kinds of bread, bahn mi mainly refers to the French baguette that was introduced during colonialism. It's also become synonymous with tasty baguette stuffed sandwiches. The filling can vary, but is often steamed pork belly topped with an assortment of vegetables like cucumbers, pickled carrots, and white radishes.
Innovative tacos are all the rage, but Patsy's Irish Pub in Mission Viejo, CA puts a decidedly Irish twist on their version. These corned beef tacos are served with a side of creamy horseradish sauce and topped with shredded cabbage, making the perfect pairing with a pint.
New Yorkers may take issue with including bagels from London, but the 24-hour Beigal Bake on Brick Lane is an institution. Since 1977 they serve up fresh bagels stuffed with salted beef or slathered with cream cheese and salmon to late night revelers. They churn out up to 7,000 bagels a day, so they must be doing something right.
The shawarma, or its cousin the döner kebab, are popular throughout Europe. Especially popular in Berlin, where Turkish immigrants brought their cuisine, this delicious dish is based on slices of roasted meat cooked on a spit. The juicy shavings are rolled into a pita and topped with an assortment of vegetables, french fries, and condiments. In the Netherlands, the especially popular shawarma is often topped with a generous helping of garlic sauce.
Street food in Kuala Lumpur is more than just eating, it's a way of life. When the sun goes down, night markets serve the heaving crowds that come out when the city cools down. Here, there's no end to the choices that will fulfill late night cravings, but we're especially fond of the grilled meat skewers that are crispy, salty, and hit the spot.
There's nothing more hangover-worthy than a straight up bacon sandwich. This UK classic was once voted the thing Brits love the most about their country. For two slices of buttered bread with bacon and brown sauce, that's pretty high marks. Scientists at Newcastle University have even investigated the reasons why it helps cure a hangover.
Known as golgappa in North India and phuchhka in East India, this beloved snack is sold by street vendors across the country. Round, hollow Indian bread is fried to a crisp and filled with flavored water, tamarind chutney, chili, chaat masala, potato, onion, and chickpeas. The flavored water is typically sour, tangy, and spicy, which is balanced out by the sweet chutney.
We'd be remiss not to mention this mecca to fried snacks in the Netherlands. For over 40 years these automats let you choose from a wide variety of items from a traditional mince-meat hotdog and croquette on a roll to deep-fried cheese. You simply insert your coins and open the glass compartment of the snack of your choice. The genius kiosk was started by a pastry chef in Amsterdam in 1960 and has since spread across the country.
What's your favorite hangover meal?

Prolonged Uprising Is the New Normal
Jade Begay
Street art welcoming people inside the "Capitol Hill Organized Protest" (CHOP), formerly known as the "Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone" (CHAZ) in Seattle on June 14, 2020. The Capitol Hill Organized Protest was formed after Seattle Police abandoned its East Precinct during protests against police brutality and the death of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man who died after being pinned down by a White police officer, in Minneapolis on May 25, 2020.

From March to May, as many of us were adjusting and settling into quarantine life, we began thinking and talking about a "new normal."
In an article by People magazine, Nick Tilsen, of NDN Collective said, "Everyone says, 'I can't wait until things get back to normal.' There's a part of me that's like, 'Normal never did us justice.' The normal meant injustices for Indigenous people. The normal meant underinvestment of our people. The normal meant fossil fuel industry exploiting our lands and our communities. This is a point in time for me where (I) don't want to go back to supporting the same old economic systems and the same old energy systems. There's opportunity here to architect and build a new world."

We must get used to and comfortable with people being in dedicated, committed, and prolonged uprising.
Arundhati Roy in the Financial Times said, "Our minds are still racing back and forth, longing for a return to "normality," trying to stitch our future to our past and refusing to acknowledge the rupture. But the rupture exists. And in the midst of this terrible despair, it offers us a chance to rethink the doomsday machine we have built for ourselves. Nothing could be worse than a return to normality. Historically, pandemics have forced humans to break with the past and imagine their world anew. This one is no different. It is a portal, a gateway between one world and the next."
Well, I don't think anyone expected the new normal to be here so quickly, but here it is.
Across the country and the world, people are engaged in civil disobedience, uprising, and rebellion. And we are not just showing up for one issue such as just ending police brutality, or just for George Floyd, although his killing was a catalyst. People are coming out and showing up to dismantle and tear out white supremacy from its root and demand justice for the many who have been slaughtered at the hands of police violence.
In my humble opinion, if these are our goals, we must get used to and comfortable with people being in dedicated, committed, and prolonged uprising. In fact, I believe that's what this "new normal" is, and I hope that these protests go well into November and beyond until we see accountability and real, tangible actions taken by cities, states, and the country to abolish racism and white supremacy.

I see communities begin to imagine what our world looks like without police.
Prolonged uprising is not the only thing that is a part of this new normal. Here's what I am also seeing:
Communities continue to practice deep care for one another. We are making and distributing masks and safety equipment for each other. I see organizers and doctors talking to each other in ways that I've never seen before, to keep people healthy and safe from COVID-19.
I see folks building healing justice mutual aids so people on the front lines can sustain themselves emotionally and spiritually. I see mutual aids getting stronger and more connected for both COVID-19 response work and for those protesting and organizing to #DefendBlackLives.
I see editors from high profile media outlets offer coaching sessions on pitching articles so that more Black voices can be heard in the news cycle. I see the media industry build lists of Black photographers so they can tell their own stories about this moment, challenging extractive storytelling.
A shrine to George Floyd and others is pictured in the CHOP zone in Seattle on June 11, 2020. Photo by Jason Redmond/AFP/Getty Images.
I see White folks show up in ways that I haven't seen them show up before, ready to confront their internalized anti-blackness and eager to learn about and question white supremacy.
I see American voters support the Black Lives Matter movement more in the past two weeks than in previous years combined. I see policies, accountability, and institutional change with swiftness: Schools in Minneapolis have ended contracts with the police. The Minneapolis city council intends to disband the police and replace the department with a transformative model for public safety. In San Francisco, a resolution has passed to prevent the hiring of police officers with a history of misconduct. In Tulsa, Oklahoma, the Mayor has decided not to renew a live police department contract.
On a national level, I see bipartisan support to cut off access to military weapons for local law enforcement. I see momentum building to re-open cases for those who, like George Floyd, have been slain by police brutality and racism.
I see communities begin to imagine what our world looks like without police and individuals asking themselves, "What can I do instead of calling the police? How can I build trust and safety with the people around me, my neighbors, community, and so on?"

This is the new normal.
I see Twitter finally did something about 45's violent and dangerous tweets, (although more needs to be done, such as deleting his account.)
I see Indigenous people and people of color being thoughtful and sensitive in messaging and narrative building so as to not erase the messages and strategies of the Black community. I see POC being cognizant of not centering their own struggles right now and respecting and honoring the leadership and vision of Black Lives Matter and the Movement for Black Lives, which is crucial for building lasting and trustworthy multiracial solidarity.
A community garden is seen among tents in Cal Anderson Park in the CHOP zone in Seattle on June 12, 2020. Photo by Jason Redmond/AFP/ Getty Images.
This is the new normal. Let's keep it up.
I see civilians getting smarter and safer about digital technology and surveillance, using this technology in ways that keep our people safe, such as by blurring the faces of protesters and using secure apps for organizing.
Even during uprisings and a pandemic, I see people getting out to vote, the outcome being 22 Native candidates making it into the running for both Congress and state legislatures.
I see the distribution of wealth even during an economic recession.
I see Confederate statues being pulled down by civilians to wash their communities clean of glorifying racist historical figures that celebrate a system that has failed and oppressed so many.
Last but certainly not least, I see my people, my peers, and my comrades have hope, a feeling that's been hard to feel and maintain while so many of our community members have died of COVID-19, which, let's not forget, is also a racial justice issue. Seeing and feeling that rebirth of hope, faith, and energy has been one of the greatest highlights of this moment.

This is the new normal. Let's keep it up. Let's keep protesting, let's keep unlearning and relearning, let's keep honoring and respecting BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, people of color) leadership, let's keep voting, let's keep dismantling white supremacy within ourselves, our families, our workplaces, our institutions, and our government. Let's keep moving resources from the police into Black and Brown communities. Let's keep building the movement, making it stronger and bigger until we abolish the police and ICE and eradicate racism and white supremacy.
Perhaps it was being in our homes for months, having time to really reflect about how our systems work and don't work. Perhaps it was watching our government fail us and seeing how our neighbors are the ones who, at the end of the day, are the ones who really have our backs. No matter what, I believe that COVID-19 set the stage for what we are seeing now. Like Arundhati Roy said, the pandemic was a "portal" for the new normal.

A wintry mix is likely to pass through the region before changing into rain along the coast Tuesday. Another moderate round of snow is expected Thursday night into Friday.
Word of the friendly battle spread on social media on Friday night and Saturday, as a winter storm that blanketed Washington state with snow moved south into Oregon. Forecasters say the track of the system could still shift and there is a chance some areas could see higher accumulations and some freezing drizzle.
"Disruptions to logistical operations are expected due to heavy snowfall causing hazardous travel conditions", Clark said.

Bob Lefsetz on iCloud
June 7, 2011 4:00pm by Bob Lefsetz
Bob Lefsetz is a music industry observer, and publisher of the Lefsetz letter:
A great day for Apple.
Not such a good day for Amazon, Google and the recording industry.
Apple has a problem. Android penetration. I could mention RIM/BlackBerry, but if you think that company and its devices still count, you're Canadian. Android sales have superseded those of iPhones. How to beat back the tide?
Software is harder to sell than hardware. You can't see it. It's the difference between admiring someone from afar and getting to really know them. They may look beautiful from a distance, but up close and personal you might find nothing to converse about. Software is the conversation. And no one's software works as well as Apple's, because of device integration.
Sure, the iPod looked cool. But Apple won because of iTunes and synching and… Software. People eventually get the message.
And they're gonna get the message about iCloud and when they go to their mobile carrier they're gonna pay extra for an iPhone, just like they pay extra for Apple laptops and desktops. They'll buy iPads, not Android devices.
This is a huge win for Apple.
Google finds itself lost in the wilderness once again. Trying to do everything, Google does nothing well other than search and e-mail. Google is the new Sony. If someone ever comes up with a better search engine, which is not impossible, Google is toast.
As for Amazon? Music and consumer cloud storage is an afterthought. Amazon would like to win here, but if it doesn't, it can shrug its shoulders. Amazon still owns retail in so many categories, and is the king of server space rental.
As for the music industry…
Unlike Apple, the music industry is very shortsighted. There is no tomorrow, only today. Steve Jobs is seriously ill and he's looking to tomorrow, the labels still haven't pulled their heads out of yesteryear.
How do you make music pay in the future? How do you get a ton of revenue for recordings?
By getting everyone to pay.
Think about that, it's not a hard concept. The outline has already been drawn by the mobile companies. You drop the price until everyone buys in, then you slowly raise the price under the rubric of adding new features, i.e. texting. Twenty five years ago a cell phone was a grand and calls were a buck a minute. Now plans are dirt cheap and cell phones are free, even ten year olds possess them. I can legitimately posit that not a single person reading this is without a handset.
That's penetration.
How do we get everybody to pay for music? By dropping the price and making it easy.
You call that subscription.
Cable TV is a subscription. As is Netflix. As is your cell phone plan. Don't say people hate subscriptions, that they don't want them, it's about offering a great service at a fair price.
The record industry refuses to do this.
Don't point to Rhapsody and Napster, that's like trying to sell a 2001 computer, or a Vanilla Ice record.
How can you get everybody to buy a mobile subscription?
We can debate that all day long, but it's become almost irrelevant. Because today, Apple killed subscription.
Yes, iCloud scan and match is subscription. But the concept of renting your music, like you rent cable TV, that's kaput.
And what did it cost?
$150 million. For approximately $40 million to the bottom line of each recording company, you know they're not going to share the revenue with artists, the labels sold out their future.
It's like Nintendo being paid a bunch of money to never develop the Wii.
It's like Electronic Arts being paid to never develop mobile games.
It's a denial of the future.
Who in the hell is going to buy a music subscription for even $3 a month when for $25 a year you can have everything you own, even stole, at your fingertips via iCloud. That's if you scan and match, if you bought the stuff on iTunes, it's FREE!
Spotify, MOG, Rdio, they were just trumped by Apple. By an industry looking for short term profits unaware of the future.
This is not hard. Like I said, subscriptions are everywhere. But like Wimpy, labels would rather have a hamburger today instead of owning a McDonald's tomorrow.
How cheaply they were bought off! $150 million is nothing to Apple, look at its cash hoard! Apple gets an opportunity to dominate with its iPads and iPhones for this paltry payment.
It boggles the mind.
Yes, few people are paying for subscriptions today.
But right now Spotify and MOG, even the aforementioned Rhapsody, synch your playlists to the handset wirelessly, almost instantly, 2000+ tracks in the case of Spotify, but almost no one knows about this, because almost no one has used these services.
It's like Amazon trying to compete with Apple selling music. People would rather pay twelve times the price to Apple for the GaGa album. Apple has retail stores throughout the world. Apple's infrastructure is so great, no one can compete.
Steve Jobs stands on stage and says it's all about mobile and the music industry is too stupid to get this. Afraid to make a free desktop offer to ensure a healthy subscription model in mobile, the record industry just shot itself in the foot.
You're selling dope here. Spotify is free on the desktop. But you've got to pay on the mobile handset, handsomely, don't you get it, that's where the growth is!
Where's the growth now? Certainly not in digital track sales. And for a measly sum you can put everything you've STOLEN in the cloud. The labels made this deal for a percentage of $25 a year, for a service most people won't even use?
This is so dumb it's almost incomprehensible.
The labels have been snookered by Steve Jobs, who could sense their ignorance and preyed upon them.
Let me ask you, how come Steve Jobs believes in renting movies and not music? Isn't it funny that the scan and match service is a subscription? Apple could have an all you can eat music subscription in the future, but why?
If people have the history of recorded music at their fingertips for one low price it doesn't only benefit the labels, but the artists, the promoters, everyone in the music ecosystem. Because the barrier to checking out new music is so low that people will do so and spend money in music. Now we've ensured the future of a last century model, where you've got to buy it to hear it. Huh?

Q: Injecting version number to Source file path in [Files] section in InnoSetup file, passing it by commandline argument I am building a setup file with InnoSetup 5.5.6 and I am also using maven to automatically build the installer. Maven is using exec-maven-plugin, so this method is eqvivalent to running iscc.exe on commandline.
What I am basically trying to do is inject a version number as a command line argument, so I can use that version number inside the setup.iss file.
Here is the command line argument (more detail below):
ISCC.exe setup.iss /d"MyAppVersion=1.0.0"

Here is the relevant code snippet from the .iss file. I've been trying with this but it is not working. If I hardcode the version, everything works fine.
[Files]
Source: "..\..\..\target\jars\my-java-project-{#MyAppVersion}.jar"; DestDir: "{app}"; DestName: "my-java-project.jar"; Flags: external

And I would like to evaluate the file as:
my-java-project-1.0.0.jar

Not sure whether it is even possible, but thanks for the help in advance.
(EDIT1)
Thank you everyone who put in effort to resolve this issue.
I think my case is not trivial, and I tried to skip not relevant information, to keep things simple, but I think I should share more info about the build.
When I manually type into cmd the command which is inside exec-maven-plugin
iscc.exe setup.iss /d"VersionText=1.0.0-SNAPSHOT" /d"VersionNumeric=1.0.0" /d"BalanceAgentVersion=1.0.0-SNAPSHOT"
then the jar file still gets omitted from the packaged exe installer.
The relevant maven codes:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.6.0</version>
<executions>
    <execution>
    <id>generate-installer</id>
    <goals>
        <goal>exec</goal>
    </goals>
    <phase>package</phase>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
    <executable>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources/issc_executables/ISCC.exe</executable>

    <workingDirectory>${project.basedir}/src/main/innosetup/</workingDirectory>
    <arguments>
        <argument>${project.basedir}/src/main/innosetup/setup.iss</argument>
        <argument>/d"VersionText=${parsedVersion.majorVersion}.${parsedVersion.minorVersion}.${parsedVersion.incrementalVersion}-${parsedVersion.qualifier}"</argument>
        <argument>/d"VersionNumeric=${parsedVersion.majorVersion}.${parsedVersion.minorVersion}.${parsedVersion.incrementalVersion}"</argument>
        <argument>/d"MyAppVersion=${my-app.version}"</argument>

    </arguments>
</configuration>

maven properties:
<properties>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
    <dependency-plugin.version>2.10</dependency-plugin.version>
    <my-app.version.version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</balance-agent.version>
</properties>

A: Try remove the quotations like this:
ISCC.exe setup.iss /dMyAppVersion=1.0.0

A: Removing the external flag solved the problem. The external flag was a mistake.
InnoSetup documentation:

When the flag external is specified, Source must be the full pathname of an existing
  file (or wildcard) on the distribution media or the user's system
  (e.g. "{src}\license.ini").
Constants may only be used when the external flag is specified,
  because the compiler does not do any constant translating itself.

I thought the {#MyAppVersion} is a constant, but it is not.
The correct code is:
[Files]
Source: "..\..\..\target\jars\my-java-project-{#MyAppVersion}.jar"; DestDir: "{app}"; DestName: "my-java-project.jar";

Thanks for Martin Prikryl, he pointed out the mistake in the comments.

Lovely Little Blog: Event Planning Tips.
Planning an event especially a wedding on a budget is no easy task! I've been doing it for 6 years for both private and corporate events. Read on for my top tips.
Atmosphere. The venue you pick will set the vibe for your wedding and all the expenses that follow. If you pick a rustic venue you can go with a boho dress and wildflowers all significantly less expensive than a ballroom and beaded gown. On the flip side, a venue that's a blank slate may lead you to spend thousands of dollars in lighting + decor.
Find out what's included. Make sure you know what your venue is handling. Many venues have tables, table linens, and basic centerpieces (e.g. mirrors and candles) included in the rental price.
DIY with wholesale flowers. With the exception of my own wedding, I use Fifty Flowers or Blooms by the Box for floral. Both of these companies are reliable, responsive, and easy to use. They have packages like "Vintage Garden" with pre-selected combos.
Substitute. Garden roses are a stellar substitute for peonies. The underrated carnation is a great "filler". Hydrangeas and large mums are large + inexpensive. These lavender mums are my favorite!
Borrow vases. Who doesn't have extra vases? Collect as many as you can from friends and family. The mix will be a quirky touch + even if you don't DIY - most florists will give you a discount if you supply your own vases.
Try, but don't buy. A wedding dress is a big expense and it's not one you necessarily want to skimp on, but going to a traditional wedding boutique is a bit overwhelming. Your consultant likely works on commission and likely has other appointments after you. Make an appointment to try different styles, but set your mind to the fact that it's only a research mission.
Order online. BHLDN, Modcloth, and Asos have unique wedding dress designs + return policies. If you can, order a few in the style you liked from your in-store visit and invite some gals over for champagne + modeling!
Buy used. If you know the dress of your dreams + your size - keep an eye on Recycle Your Wedding for matching listings.
Read the contract. Make sure you understand what you're paying for. Will you have the rights to all the photos or only a select number? How will they be given to you (e.g. download or cd)? Will they be retouched? Will they be in color + black & white? Are any additional sessions like bridals or engagement photos included? Will they use your photographs for their website or contests? Once you understand your contract then you can negotiate. Maybe you don't need your photos retouched or perhaps you can sneak your bridals into your wedding day. Can you bundle engagement photos, bridals, and wedding day to get a lower price?
Do not DIY. Do not hire a friend. This will be one of the big expenses of your wedding.
Plan. To make sure you get the most from your investment create a shot list and share with anyone involved. Your grandmother should know she needs to stay after the ceremony to get a photo with you. Use Pinterest to create a visual board of what you want.
Rent! For lighting, I've used both Rock N Roll Rentals and Rent My Wedding. The latter also has a selection of backdrops + linens.
Reuse. Each piece of decor I have has been used for a previous event, borrowed, or was purchased from an antique store (Austin Antique Mall is my fave!). I also salvage from my own home. My latest event, a 70's prom, was decorated with crystals and hobnail glasses from my own home decor.
Preferred vendors. This is the time a venue's preferred vendor list will come in handy. A preferred vendor will already know the ins and outs of a venue's kitchen + catering setup. Most importantly there's usually no catering fee to use a preferred vendor.
Get lots of quotes. Request quotes from food trucks, caterers, restaurants. Ask for a variety of set-ups: buffet, stations, plated meals. You may be surprised with what ends up being the cheapest option for your group. Having quotes also gives you more info about what catering should cost. Being informed will help you negotiate better rates.
The best food isn't always the fanciest. People just want good food at weddings. We used Rudy's BBQ and it was $10 a person for a serviced buffet, water + tea, and late-night breakfast tacos. We spent less than $1,000 on food when it was all said and done.
Never give your budget first. Request a quote and then provide your budget during negotiations.
Tastings. Do a tasting either before you sign a contract or make sure there's an easy out in your contract if the tasting goes bad. For example, most caterers will let you do a tasting for free, but if you decide not to book you have to pay a tasting fee.
Sweets. There are so many amazing options for cheap sweets at a wedding. Some of my favorites: Tiny Pies, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Homemade Baked Goods. If you're trying to save money HEB will make any cake you want if you bring a photo. Read my DIY here!
BYOB. There are so many venues that let you bring in your own alcohol. This gives you control over how much you spend (hello bulk wine!) + whatever you don't drink you keep. Just make sure to have someone on point for bringing and taking away the drinks. I recommend hiring 1-2 bartenders, but depending on the venue it may not be necessary.
Etsy is your friend. There are some amazing vendors on Etsy that will create a digital download for you for less than $50 (The Brumby Nest, Lucky Plum Studio, Printable Wisdom). From there you can decide if you want to print or email. I recommend printing at least one for you - an invite is a keepsake + a nice touch in wedding day video and photo.
Shutterfly. Sign up for an account so that you can receive coupons. You can pick from hundreds of templates and even use an engagement photo for the invite.
Calligraphy. First of all, no one worth knowing truly cares what your handwriting on an invite looks like. If you care, take a calligraphy class (or Pinterest tutorial) with your bridesmaids and then have a handwriting party. If you have a friend with amazing handwriting - ask nicely if they'll do it for you and then insist on no wedding gift.
DIY. You can go to Sephora for a free makeup consultation if you buy a $50 gift card to learn tips and tricks. Pinterest is, of course, a good place as well.
Partial Services. My challenge is the eyes. If you're like me you can book a partial service with a makeup artist or spa for a smoky eye + false eyelashes. Your bachelorette party is a good time for a trial run. For your hair, you can try a blow dry bar or ask your regular stylist if she can do your hair.
Not necessary. Gifts for the guests aren't necessary. For the bridal party - a handwritten note goes a long way!
Koozies. If you must do a favor, I recommend a koozie. These are the only favors I've ever kept. They are cheap + will be great with your canned beer bar. We also fed our guests breakfast tacos on the way out and called it a favor.
Your Registry. Don't treat your wedding like a trade. If you plan a $25,000 wedding and expect the same in gifts - good luck. Now that you've moved gifts off the table as a reason for the wedding - consider a no gift or donation wedding. If folks want to give a gift they will or they may ask to help! For the folks that want to help: ask them to set up tables, make floral arrangements, or officiate.
Do it. If you have more than one vendor to manage on the day of your wedding you'll want a day of coordinator. Stay organized (e.g. vendor list, timeline, etc.) so that you can easily hand off the details the week of the wedding. I hired a long-time acquaintance that had a side business as a wedding planner. She was inexpensive and wonderful. You may even be able to find a student/intern to handle for even less.
Decide what you need. If you want a master of ceremonies and/or band you'll want to budget some top $. If you just want music - you can rent a speaker set-up for around $25 + a get a Spotify subscription ($10/month). I use Rock N Roll Rentals in Austin. If you want full control over the music - do the latter and assign someone to be in charge.
Bundle. Many DJs can provide uplighting, dance floor lighting, and some even provide other services like bartending.
Use Gig Salad. Services like this allow you to post what you're looking for and request proposals in your budget. It saves you time, by having folks come to you versus you looking for them + the investment is provided upfront.
Read your contract. Redline anything you don't need and ask for a lower rate.
Be honest about your budget. Be honest with yourself and your vendors. If a vendor's quote is out of reach, it's okay to say so. Most vendors are willing to get creative. My florist, for example, had me + another budget bride in the same month. The other bride helped with set-up for my wedding in return I loaned her all my vases for her wedding. We both saved money!
Check references. Like pick up the phone and talk to someone to check references. This is one of the most important things you can do. Not only do you want to ensure that you're going to be happy, but you can price check as well.
