Soon Garden's Gate will be transformed by our Bedding Department. There, you will find yourself lost amongst vibrant cyclamen, amaryllis, Christmas cactus, fragrant Paperwhites, ivy topiaries and more!
As of now, we have Cyclamen galore! Resembling a shooting star and typically blooming in shades of white, maroon, pink, purple and red with often two-tone or ruffled petals, it's one of our most popular flowers this season! And deer resistant too!
Cyclamen are tubers that go dormant in the summer (if not receiving adequate amount of water) then the fall rains will bring forth new leaves. As the days shorten, the buds will begin to form.
Adorn your table centerpiece with one of stunning cyclamen, just ensure your container has good drainage and plenty of good bright light. Remember that they like it a little bit cooler so a north-facing window or cooler part of your home is ideal.
Outdoors cyclamen like shady, woodland areas but also do well in containers. They are not particular about soil types and do not mind root competition. Therefore planting them under trees and conifers for a pop of color works wonders.
They like to be watered well and then left to dry out. If kept too moist, cyclamen can get a fungus known as Botrytis or gray mold, and the base of the stems turn soft and mushy and the leaves fall off easily. Fertilize your cyclamen with Master Bloom 0-10-10 or E.B. Stone Organics Ultra Bloom 0-10-10 every month during the growing season.
Cyclamen are one of the few winter blooming plants that are deer resistant, and add that spark of bright color during those dreary winter days - so plant away!
Stop in and see what color winter has to offer your garden today!

After multiple restarts, there is no change. Running sfc /scannow finds no problems. My default browser is Firefox which has not been a problem previously.
Are there any other fixes which I have not found?
I presume you have set Spotlight as your lock screen, and probably also set the option to show the lock screen picture on the sign in screen.
Be patient, it can take some minutes for Spotlight to become fully operational after a reset.
Thanks, Bree. My initial attempt failed. I had to go back and restore files in the recycle bin which were deleted in an earlier failed fix.
I assume I need to delete the batch file now that spotlight now is working again. Is that correct?
No, not necessary to delete it. In fact, I keep a copy handy on my desktop for the next time Spotlight breaks (I did say it seems 'fragile').
You may want to add these two commands at the beginning of the batch file though, just in case you accidentally click on it. It gives you the chance to cancel an unintentional reset.
@choice /m "Reset Windows Spotlight?"
I have saved the batch file to another location and added the code you supplied above. Thanks again.

"I did not want to fail, because the stakes were too high. After all, I was after nothing less than the secret of human harmony."
The challenge that bestselling author Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson set for himself was formidable: to create a true interspecies peacable kingdom within his own household. He hoped to learn if several different species - some, natural enemies - raised together from an early age could live peacefully side by side. So he took into his home seven young animals - a kitten, a rabbit, two rats, two chickens, and a puppy - and set about observing the whole process of socialization (or non-socialization) from the very beginning.
The initial results were mixed. Tamaiti, the kitten, made herself instantly comfortable, but Hohepa, the Flemish giant rabbit, remained inscrutably reserved. Kia and Ora, the rats, slept all day and became active at night. Moa and Moana, the Polish frizzle chickens, bonded with each other but to no one else. Mika, the stray pup, barked much too much. But as the hours and days passed in this never-before-attempted environment, the animals began to change in startling ways, as Masson wondered, Which animals would bond, and which would recoil from one another? Can animals, including humans, truly change when direct experience tells them it's safe to do so? Would the experiment end in triumph, or in tragedy?
Raising the Peacable Kingdom poses universal questions we've all had about relationships, social strife, and peaceful coexistence. In this intimations of the potential for planetary harmony, this elegantly written book is a work of major significance. As a unique account of life in an interspecies community, it offers unmitigated enchantment, joy, and delight.

In the last article, an assessment was made of the comparative size of four commercial banks in Guyana and their growth performance. In doing so, two principal issues were observed. One was the highly concentrated nature of the industry and the other was the highly profitable nature of the industry. The article this week will look at the market focus of the banks and the allocation of resources. In this instance, cognizance would be taken of the participation of all the banks in the banking industry in Guyana.
Before looking at the lending preferences of the commercial banks in Guyana, it would be interesting to see from where the deposits of the banks are coming. As at the end of December 2015, the commercial banks had G$356 billion in deposits. The commercial banks got the bulk of their deposits from the private sector. This group in the economy provided 78 percent of the deposits that commercial banks in Guyana held at the end of last year. The government supplied 18 percent of the money while foreigners provided the remaining four percent. Thus, the group with the most influence on the commercial banks is the private sector. Households contributed 62 percent of the savings that commercial banks in Guyana hold while businesses contributed 16 percent to the deposit levels of the banks. The make-up of the contribution of this group to savings differs from the make-up of the benefits of the group from borrowing as will be seen during the course of the rest of the article.
Using a tax model to estimate wages and salaries, it would appear as though Guyanese households had disposable income of between G$280 to G$300 billion from earned income alone. The deposit amounts in the banks imply also that Guyanese saved 76 percent of their disposable income last year, even though one must accept that bank balances accumulate over time. In contrast, the consumption model suggests that Guyanese spent around 84 percent more than the disposable income available to them. The gap between savings and consumption could probably be explained by the failure of the tax model to capture all earned income. Some of the earned income might be reported differently thus causing the tax model to under estimate the level of wages and salaries. The spending level does not take account also of remittances either. Whatever the cause, the loan programmes of the banks play a big role in the consumption and investment spending by the private sector.
Setting aside the impact of the external sector, the national economy is made up of spending by consumers or households, investors or businesses and the government. The greater proportion of spending is done by households and businesses and this behaviour is reflected in the lending pattern of the commercial banks in Guyana. The Bank of Guyana (BOG) usually classifies the loans to households and businesses as loans to the private sector.
In its report on financial indicators, the BOG indicated that the bulk of the loans issued by commercial banks in 2015 continued to go to the business and household sectors.
A combined total of 63.4 percent of the loans from the industry went to the two private sector groups in 2015. At the same time, the government sector took less than two percent of the money. An examination of the distribution of the loans between the household and business sectors shows that an estimated 51 percent of all loans were for business purposes while 13 percent were for household activities. The loans made by the commercial banks are usually classified as either business loans or household loans.
The bank that favours the business community most is the Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry (BTI). Over 70 percent of its portfolio consisted of business loans.
The Bank of Baroda (BOB), Demerara Bank Limited (DBL) and Citizens Bank Inc. (CBI) also placed heavy emphasis on lending to the business community. The BOB had over 68 percent of its loan portfolio with the business community while DBL had an estimated 63 percent of its loans with the businesses. CBI held 58 percent of its loans as business loans.
The behaviour of the four aforementioned banks contrasts sharply with that of Republic Bank Limited (RBL) and the Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS). While the portfolio of business loans of the four banks mentioned previously is above the industry average, the ones for RBL and BNS were below the average of 51 percent. RBL had 39 percent of its portfolio in business loans while BNS had 26 percent in the same category. It is not clear what might be driving this reluctance of two of the three foreign banks to increase their business portfolio to higher levels.
The business loans in the BOG report are grouped according to the sectoral breakdown of the output of the economy. The gross domestic product (GDP) of the country is distributed among the following four sectors, namely agriculture, manufacturing, mining and quarrying, and services.
The data reveals that the mining and quarrying sector receives the smallest amount of loans. It received an average of two percent of the loans issued by the commercial banks. The agricultural sector was the next with about six percent of bank loans going to it in 2015. The remainder of the business loans was split between the manufacturing and services sectors. The manufacturing sector obtained 15 percent of the loans while the services sector received 28 percent.
It should come as no surprise to anyone that the services sector gets the lion's share of the loans. After all, the services sector is the largest sector in the economy. It accounts for two-thirds of the economy and is made up of a miscellaneous set of industries.
These industries include the wholesale and retail businesses, transportation, information and communication, the utilities, financial services, tourism, health, education and others.
Many of these industries are very competitive and cash can move very slowly causing some to rely on the banking system. There are also growth industries in the sector such as information technology and transportation which also cause businesses to approach the banks for financing.
All the banks are highly active in the services sector. The bank with the largest footprint in the services sector is the Bank of Baroda with in excess of 47 percent of its own loan portfolio in the sector. The Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry (BTI) also has a large footprint in the services sector, accounting for more than 36 percent of the business loan portfolio that it holds.
Demerara Bank Limited (DBL) and Citizens Bank Inc. (CBI) also have significantly large holdings of outstanding balances in the services sector. DBL holds over 32 percent of its portfolio in loans from the services sector while CBI has an estimated 31 percent of its outstanding balances in this form of income-generating portfolio. Republic Bank Limited (RBL) has 24 percent of its total business portfolio in loans to the services sector while the Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) has a business portfolio size of 14 percent in the same sector.
Though the loan portfolio in the manufacturing sector is less substantial than that in the services sector, the majority of banks also display much more faith in the manufacturing sector than in the agricultural and mining sectors. The companies with the largest portfolio in the manufacturing sector are CBI and BTI which hold an average 23 percent of their income-generating portfolio in that type of loan. The next is BOB which held a 16 percent portfolio in the manufacturing sector. This was a few points higher than the 14 percent portfolio held by DBL. Again, it is worth noting that RBL and BNS carry significantly smaller shares of their loan portfolio in loans to the manufacturing sector. RBL has an eight percent share while BNS has a seven percent share. Both banks are majority foreign owned and one must wonder if its lending policies are influenced by other factors exogenous to the local market.
The overall distribution of loans between businesses and households by individual banks provides an indication of the lending preference of each bank. Without a doubt, all banks show a preference for lending to the business sector. It is likely that this preference hinges on the awareness that businesses generate higher levels of cash flows and at a faster rate than households. Collectively, they also generate the cash flows much more consistently than the households. The fixed income of households and the commitment of a large portion to consumption spending do not always make households the best candidates for bank lending. In addition, many companies in Guyana, particularly large ones, pull money from overseas as a result of their export activities. The business community therefore is a much more attractive destination for bank lending than households. The make-up of bank lending contrasts significantly with the make-up of bank deposits.

For Sale: 1947 Cadillac Series 61 in Lithia Springs, Georgia
The swoopy coupe design, big Caddy V8 power, and a tastefully updated A/C interior all come together to make this a 1947 Cadillac Series 61 a vintage machine that also has modern appeal.
This car is both elegance and patriotic. It's based on the pre-WWII designs because the luxury car production lines weren't even in full swing yet after the war. In fact, a premium Series 61 club coupe like this is rare with less than 7,300 produced. So how many do you think survived nearly 75 years to look this good today? These really were something special with their fastback profile and long fenders. In fact, speaking of those fenders, we love how the front ones extend into the door line. The way they close to show an almost seamless look that tells you this one has been treated with respect. The maroon paint is an update later in life, and it still retains a nice gloss. And for those who want big luster, the form-hugging grille and wraparound bumpers shine to a level that it makes sure this Caddy leaves a lasting impression. There are terrific details like the windshield sunshade, full-length white pinstriping, frenched antenna, and a new set of whitewalls.
The white exterior pinstripe not only coordinates with the whitewall tires, but also gives you a preview of the white leather interior. And with the maroon intertwined on the door panels, dash, and carpeting, this has a well-coordinated total package. This one retains nice vintage pieces like the Art Deco style dash with symmetrical layout. But you can also spot plenty of upgrades that make this a great custom cruiser. You get a nice grip from the updated steering wheel, and the custom center console houses the AM/FM digital tuner with cassette and controls for the cold-blowing R134a air conditioning.
The ultra-clean engine bay gives you a clear view to the big V8. This car was born in the era of the outstanding Cadillac OHV engine, but now it benefits from evolution. This is 472 cubic-inch version that's much larger than what was available in 1947. There's a four-barrel carburetor on top for good power, and it fires up and runs like a smooth Caddy should. The full package also has a stout/smooth TH400 three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes with front discs. So this classic Cadillac coupe still knows how to confidently cruise in modern times.
This is history, distinction, and luxury all wrapped in a terrific classic Caddy style. So you know you don't want to miss this deal. Call today!!!

As a home inspector, I see firsthand the effects water has on houses when left uncorrected or allowed to be somewhere it shouldn't. Often, I see issues with frost free garden hose faucets. Here are the most common issues and what to do about them.
The "faucet" or valve is inside the heated space of the home, allowing the assembly to remain unwinterized hence the nickname frost free. The tube and stem are available in different lengths depending on the width of the exterior walls. Twisting the handle moves the bibb washer away from the faucet seat allowing water to flow. Water stops flowing when the handle is twisted the other direction, moving the bibb washer against the bibb seat again. The tube assembly then drains any water, preventing the tube from damage by freezing water.
Leaving a hose attached in freezing weather is generally a bad idea, as this prevents the faucet tube from draining. This may allow the water in the tube to freeze bursting the tube and will allow water to run inside the wall cavity or wherever the tube is installed. Obviously, this is generally bad for a house. If the tube bursts, the whole assembly will need to be replaced.
Another feature of most frost free faucets is a "vacuum breaker." This feature prevents a backflow fron a connected hose if the house water supply pressure is less than the pressure in the hose. This is a potential source of contamination of the potable water supply. Occasionally these assemblies wear out and leak as well.
Normal maintenance is required when the bibb washer wears out, this will cause the faucet to drip. Occasionally the vacuum breaker assembly will wear out and start to leak, this is also cause for maintenance. Normal maintenance is performed by anyone handy, with most parts available at a local hardware or box store.
The ask of this home inspector is Please dont leave hoses connected if the weather may turn cold, and if you see water when you shouldn't please fix it promptly!


Authors and publishers are guilty of 'over-farming' vampires, the award-winning fantasy writer Neil Gaiman has said.
He said they had become literary cash cows ever since the American author Stephenie Meyer hit the jackpot with her Twilight series.
Her books, which have sold millions worldwide, have also been turned into box-office gold with a series of films starring Robert Pattinson as vampire Edward Cullen and Kristen Stewart as his human girlfriend Bella Swan.
Fans camped out for up to 34 hours before the British premiere of Eclipse, the third in the franchise, in Leicester Square on Thursday night.
But Gaiman, who last week won the Carnegie Medal for children's literature for The Graveyard Book, said her books had spawned a whole genre of imitators.
The author of Stardust and Coraline, said: "Vampires are being over-farmed.
"At any moment when we can actually talk about vampires as a genre in their own right, there are too many of them."
They were "like stars" in that "they should turn up infrequently", he said.
"Now they are like reality television contestants - they are everywhere."
Meyer's Edward Cullen is a vegetarian able to walk around in daylight.
But Gaiman, 49, lamented of the current crop: "The saddest thing is that it runs the risk of making vampires not scary".
Gaiman stressed that he "loved the fact" that "like JK Rowling, she [Meyer] has got a generation of kids reading."
But he added: "I don't think she intended to create a genre of vampire romances, just like JK Rowling was responsible for a lot of terrible Harry Potter clones that clogged the shelves for a while."
Meyer sold £29.4 million worth of books in the UK alone last year, according to Nielsen BookScan, with her titles taking four of the five best selling book slots.
A host of other vampire writers made the 2009 bestselling list, such as Charlaine Harris and mother and daughter team Phyllis and Kristin Cast.

PARADISE, Calif. -- As smoke and flames raced toward the small town of Paradise, maintenance worker Stephen Murray says he raced to work.
Murray went to help residents at the Appletree Village mobile home park, where more than 280 senior citizens called home. Many of the elderly people at the mobile home park couldn't' get out of the park safely on their own, Murray said.
The 42-year-old went door-to-door warning residents that the fire was coming. He later made several trips to and from the neighborhood with his truck, to help bring as many as 60 people to safety, Murray said.
"I'm glad that I was able to help. I always have thoughts that I might have been able to save my home, but I was able to save residents of the park and that's all that matters," Murray said.
One of those residents was Leroy Hall, 83, who is currently recovering from smoke inhalation and diabetic shock at Enloe Medical Center in Chico.
Hall described the scene that morning as terrifying, with smoke and flames surrounding the neighborhood of more than 100 homes.
"My buddy Steve, he said, 'We gotta get the hell out of here,'" Hall said.
The Camp Fire that struck on November 9 is now the deadliest and most destructive fire in California state history.
Since the fire, the Appletree Village mobile home park has been working to make contact with all of the resident's who lived there. The park has managed to reach all but 39 of the residents.
Anyone with information on their whereabouts is urged to contact Stephen Murray at 530-513-8003.

Q: Splitting Iterator<(A,B)> into Iterator and Iterator I would like to split the output of an object that implements Iterator<(A,B)> into two objects that implement Iterator<A> and Iterator<B>. Since one of the outputs could be iterated more than the other, I'll need to buffer up the output of the Iterator<(A,B)> (because I can't rely on the Iterator<(A,B)> being cloneable.) The problem is that the iterator could be infinite, so I can't simply collect the output of the iterator into two buffers and return iterators over the two buffers.
So it seems that I'll need to hold buffers of the A and B objects, and whenever one of the buffers is empty I'll fill it with samples from the Iterator<(A,B)> object. This means that I'll need two iterable structs that have mutable references to the input iterator (since both of them will need to call next() on the input to fill up the buffers), which is impossible.
So, is there any way to accomplish this in a safe way?

A: This is possible. As you identified you need mutable references to the base iterator from both handles, which is possible using a type with "internal mutability", that is, one that uses unsafe code internally to expose a safe API for acquiring a &mut to aliasable data (i.e. contained in a &) by dynamically enforcing the invariants that the compiler normally enforces at compile time outside unsafe.
I'm assuming you're happy to keep the two iterators on a single thread1, so, in this case, we want a RefCell. We also need to be able to have access to the RefCell from the two handles, entailing storing either a &RefCell<...> or an Rc<RefCell<...>>. The former would be too restrictive, as it would only allow us to use the pair of iterators in and below the stack frame in which the RefCell is created, while we want to be able to freely pass the iterators around, so Rc it is.
In summary, we're basically going to be storing an Rc<RefCell<Iterator<(A,B)>>>, there's just the question of buffering. The right tool for the job here is a RingBuf since we want efficient push/pop at the front and back. Thus, the thing we're sharing (i.e. inside the RefCell) could look like:
struct SharedInner<A, B, It> {
    iter: It,
    first: RingBuf<A>,
    second: RingBuf<B>,
}

We can abbreviate the type actually being shared as type Shared<A, B, It> = Rc<RefCell<SharedInner<A, B, It>>>;, which allows us to define the iterators:
struct First<A, B, It> {
    data: Shared<A, B, It>
}
impl Iterator<A> for First<A,B,It> {
    fn next(&mut self) -> Option<A> {
        // ...
    }
}

To implement next the first thing to do is get a &mut to the SharedInner, via self.data.borrow_mut();. And then get an element out of it: check the right buffer, or otherwise get a new element from iter (remembering to buffer the left-over B):
let mut inner = self.data.borrow_mut();

inner.first.pop_front().or_else(|| {
    inner.iter.next().map(|(a,b)| {
        inner.second.push(b);
        a
    })
})

Docs: RingBuf.pop_front, Option.or_else.
The iterator for the other side is similar. In total:
use std::cell::RefCell;
use std::collections::{Deque, RingBuf};
use std::rc::Rc;

struct SharedInner<A, B, It> {
    iter: It,
    first: RingBuf<A>,
    second: RingBuf<B>
}

type Shared<A, B, It> = Rc<RefCell<SharedInner<A, B, It>>>;

struct First<A, B, It> {
    data: Shared<A, B, It>
}

impl<A,B, It: Iterator<(A,B)>> Iterator<A> for First<A, B, It> {
    fn next(&mut self) -> Option<A> {
        let mut inner = self.data.borrow_mut();

        // try to get one from the stored data
        inner.first.pop_front().or_else(||
            // nothing stored, we need a new element.
            inner.iter.next().map(|(a, b)| {
                inner.second.push(b);
                a
            }))
    }
}

struct Second<A, B, It> {
    data: Shared<A, B, It>
}
impl<A,B, It: Iterator<(A,B)>> Iterator<B> for Second<A,B,It> {
    fn next(&mut self) -> Option<B> {
        let mut inner = self.data.borrow_mut();

        inner.second.pop_front().or_else(|| {
            inner.iter.next().map(|(a, b)| {
                inner.first.push(a);
                b
            })
        })
    }
}

fn split<A, B, It: Iterator<(A,B)>>(it: It) -> (First<A, B, It>,
                                                Second<A, B, It>) {
    let data = Rc::new(RefCell::new(SharedInner {
        iter: it,
        first: RingBuf::new(),
        second: RingBuf::new(),
    }));

    (First { data: data.clone() }, Second { data: data })
}

fn main() {
    let pairs = range(1u32, 10 + 1).map(|x| (x, 1.0 / x as f64));

    let (mut first, mut second) = split(pairs);

    println!("first:");
    for x in first.by_ref().take(3) {
        println!("  {}", x);
    }

    println!("second:");
    for y in second.by_ref().take(5) {
        if y < 0.2 { break }
        println!("  {}", y);
    }

    let a = first.collect::<Vec<u32>>();
    let b = second.collect::<Vec<f64>>();

    println!("a {}\nb {}", a, b);
}

which prints
first:
  1
  2
  3
second:
  1
  0.5
  0.333333
  0.25
  0.2
a [4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
b [0.166667, 0.142857, 0.125, 0.111111, 0.1]

playpen.
There's various ways this could be optimised, e.g. when fetching in First, only buffer the left-over B if a Second handle exists.
1 If you were looking to run them in separate threads just replace the RefCell with a Mutex and the Rc with an Arc, and add the necessary bounds.

If you've always had a thing for statistics and figures, you'd be wise to consider a number of quantitative research proposal topics when it comes to your dissertation. The whole point of quantitative research is to explain particular events according to mathematical analysis of data points. Also one of the most related research results you can use is PhD research proposal in computer science ideas. There have to be numbers involved in some format for it to be considered quantitative research.
It's not so easy to put together a research proposal quantitative that relies on numbers alone to demonstrate a point one way or another. When it comes to writing a quantitative research proposal, you need expert advice if you are to achieve the grades you deserve. Use this extensive list to give yourself a few ideas about what you might want to study.

One of the first things you'll be wondering when you embark upon a quantitative research project is how it is possible to turn seemingly qualitative data into numerical format. One of the most widely used methods is the Likert scale which asks participants to rate their opinions on a 5-point scale. Conducting surveys in this manner can help you get to the bottom of all sorts of social and psychological questions.
The analysis of quantitative data as part of your research project is not necessarily easy and it requires a significant amount of statistical knowledge. Particularly if you're trying to identify a relationship between two variables without a particular hypothesis in mind, you're going to have to rely on numbers. There's plenty of expert advice around if you need help with your research project.
Check out engineering research proposal topics for more inspiration!
You have to be certain that you can answer your question by means of quantitative methods before you embark on what could be a very lengthy research project. You can't use open ended queries and have to be specific about topics that may not have a simple answer. You'll need to be able to replicate your enquiries many times with many different subjects. This is particularly important as you will need a certain predefined number of participants in any study you conduct in order for it to meet standards of statistical significance.
As you will be generating reams of data, you need to make sure that it's all as relevant to your question as possible. They may also generate data over many years and actually continue doing so for long after you've finished your PhD. Use expert advice to make sure you get the most of out of this data and apply it to your research appropriately. Quantitative research proposal topics vary in their usefulness to the furtherment of science and human knowledge. Use this extensive list to help you choose a topic that suits your unique academic strengths. Combine your research proposal quantitative with expert advice on your chosen topic and you'll be moving onwards and upwards with ease.

PA Minister for Prisoner Affairs: If Israel makes peace with PA in West Bank, Palestinian people will push Hamas' hand.
If Israel comes to a formal peace agreement with the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank, Hamas will have no choice but to accept it, PA Minister for Prisoner Affairs Ashraf al-Ajrami said Thursday. "I am 100 percent certain that if a peace agreement is reached, the Palestinian public will support it, and therefore Hamas will have to support it or risk losing their base of public support," Ajrami said. He spoke at a conference organized by both the Geneva Initiative and the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung on the Geneva Initiative. He said that if a referendum on that peace plan were called, Hamas would be unable to oppose it. "The Palestinians ultimately want their quality of life to improve, and Israelis will see that if they offer real incentive as part of the peace agreement, the popular opinion on the street will be in favor of moving forward," he said. In such a deal, Ajrami said, Fatah would not be interested in the proposal by Israel Beiteinu head Avigdor Lieberman that calls for swapping populated tracts of land. But Fatah would consider exchanging empty territory on a small scale, he said. Ajrami added that the current situation was similar to that prior to the Oslo Accords. "As soon as Oslo happened, the people supported it and Hamas's standing went down," he said. "The people saw Hamas as an alternative, but now that they have experienced the alternative that Hamas has to offer, they realize that it is not a good one." Ajrami rejected reports of reconciliation between the rival Palestinian factions, saying that no Fatah officials were interested in making up with Hamas at this time. "I don't know whether or not this is the last opportunity we will have for peace [with Israel], but it might be. We must seize this opportunity or suffer the consequences of regret," he said. With respect to IDF Cpl. Gilad Schalit, kidnapped by Hamas in June 2006, Ajrami said that "negotiations have stopped completely." Tovah Lazaroff contributed to this report.


What is everyone making this weekend? Have you ever had agua fresca? I grew up drinking agua fresca in every flavor you could possible image. In Mexico there are people who have these super cool bike fruit stands, you could always find them around town on the corners, and downtown. But the coolest? They ride their bike stands in the neighborhoods ringing a bell! Run outside and have a fresh agua fresca to fulfill all of your fresh fruit drink dreams, yes that was my childhood.
I always loved the Watermelon Agua Fresca flavor. Watermelon blended is so refreshing, lightly sweet, and goes perfectly with lime. By adding lime, you add vitamin C, and that's a good thing. Basically you can't go wrong with blending and juicing fresh fruit. Which making agua fresca, it's always fresh in season fruit for the best result. It's not like the trendy juicing that we are seeing around nowadays, these aguas frescas have been around forever. My parents grew up drinking them, my grandparents, and their grandparents. In Mexico the use of fresh fruits and vegetables all year long is totally normal. It's just how I grew up, so making these all Summer long to get a healthy juice choice is how we roll. It's really hot, and it going to be hot for a while. Let's refresh with healthy fresh juices that are a way better choice than anything in a plastic jug form the store!
1. Place watermelon, lime, and sugar in a blender. Blend on high until smooth. For a smoother, thinner juice, strain the juice. For thicker juice, do not strain. Place watermelon agua fresca in a pitcher, place in fridge until cold. Best serve cold for up to 5 days.
I've got a similar recipe on my blog, so I can vouch definitely say that this is both tasty and refreshing 🙂 Especially on a hot summer day!
Awesome! I'm making it again today.
i love Aqua frescas! The color on yours is beautiful!
Oh I so would add Moscato to this! Yum!
What a refreshing looking drink! I love your bright and colorful photos too!
This looks so refreshing and the photos are gorgeous!

GPHS community mourns loss of volleyball coach
Fares Sabawi
Corpus Christi Caller-Times
2016 was supposed to be Vanessa Steele's year.
The 41-year-old Brazilian native was named the head volleyball coach for the Gregory-Portland High School Ladycats after putting in nearly a decade of work at the school under various positions.
"It was her dream to be the volleyball coach," softball and volleyball coach Felicia Talamantez said. "She loved the game so much she got her teaching certificate to be able to coach."
But Steele never made her debut. Her ovarian cancer returned after a year and a half of remission, sidelining her for the entire season. On Thursday, cancer took her life.
"She truly loved this school and loved all of the kids," Principal Kyde Eddleman said. "Her positive influence rubbed off on everybody. We're all better people because we knew her."
Steele played hitter for the National American University volleyball team in South Dakota in 2002 and 2003. She had every intention of beating cancer again and coming back to coach.
"It's hard to be out," Steele told the Caller-Times in September. "I hope my body will respond to the chemo. I would love to come back."
Although Steele couldn't show up to the games as often as she liked, she still made an effort to be around the team as much as possible.
"She wasn't there in body, but she was there in spirit," Eddleman said. "She still played a big role for that team."
Eddleman said her impact on the team is what motivated the Ladycats to reach the playoffs for the first time since 2011.
The volleyball team and other residents paid their respects by tying teal ribbons around Portland in Steele's honor.
"She was beloved by this community," Eddleman said. "She meant so much to everybody."
Cancer forced Steele to use a wheelchair to get around at times, but Talamantez said the way she handled the adversity was an inspiration to everyone at the school.
"You'd never know she had a bad day," she said.
The school loses more than just a dedicated teacher and coach, Talamantez said. The staff will also miss a dear friend.
"The biggest thing (I'll miss) is her smile," Talamantez said. "And her high five. She always gave everyone high fives."
A memorial service open to the public will be held 3 p.m. Sunday at the Gregory-Portland Junior High School Auditorium.
In lieu of flowers, residents are asked to donate to the Vanessa Macedo Steele Memorial Fund, which will provide scholarships to Gregory-Portland High School students. Donations can be mailed to:

Immigration Bill — Immigration Detention of Those Who Are Pregnant and Vulnerable People — 25 Apr 2016 at 21:26
The majority of MPs voted against banning the immigration detention of those who are pregnant and against guidance to be taken into account on the immigration detention of vulnerable people.
MPs were considering the Immigration Bill[1].
The motion supported by the majority of MPs was:
That this House disagrees with Lords amendment 85
Lords amendment 85[2] sought to insert a new clause titled: Detention and bail - Guidance on detention of vulnerable persons
(1) No person whom the Secretary of State knows, or could reasonably be expected to know, is pregnant shall be detained.
(2)The Secretary of State must issue guidance specifying matters to be taken into account by a person to whom the guidance is addressed in determining—
(a)whether a person ("P") would be particularly vulnerable to harm if P were to be detained or to remain in detention, and
(b)if P is identified as being particularly vulnerable to harm in those circumstances, whether P should be detained or remain in detention.
(3)In subsection
(2) "detained" means detained under—
(a)the Immigration Act 1971,
(b)section 62 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002, or
(c)section 36 of the UK Borders Act 2007,and "detention" is to be construed accordingly.
(4)A person to whom guidance under this section is addressed must take the guidance into account.
(5)Before issuing guidance under this section the Secretary of State must lay a draft of the guidance before Parliament.
(6)Guidance under this section comes into force in accordance with regulations made by the Secretary of State.
(7)The Secretary of State may from time to time review guidance under this section and may revise and re-issue it.
(8)References in this section to guidance under this section include revised guidance."

Contact us and ask for our offer at the size range of your picket pump, or if you need maintenance or wear parts for your existing pump.
The reliable operation of BETONSTAR concrete pumps, high efficiency and low operating costs are the result of decades of product development, which continues today. This nearly 30 years old factory worked previously as a subcontractor for another manufacturer of pumps. During the integration of the European concrete brand to be severely incorporated into new ownership also this subcontract of manufacturing ended. Thus this factory started to independently develop further the pumps and the delivery booms under their own BETONSTAR brand, reaching a significant market position in its home country very quickly.
The quality culture has been strictly adhered to and in terms of quality thinking only the best Swedish SSAB specialty steels and western components such as HAWE and Rexroth hydraulics are now used in all production.
SARAKA personnel represent the top in their field for the maintenance and repair of concrete pumps. We can implement inspections and maintenance with wear/replacement parts for all of the pumps, regardless of brand.
Our skilled service personnel are also often available at short notice with a service car to the construction site when problems arise.
SARAKA is prepared for periodic maintenance for all pump brands. We keep stock wear- and spare parts for the brands we represent, and we are able to supply the parts required for service or repair readily assembled also in most other brands, even after a few days.
The SMARTSTAR control system includes a self-monitoring function in accordance with the current Machinery Directive, which limits the opening of the boom if the support legs cannot be fully opened.
WE'D LOVE TO TELL YOU FURTHERMORE AND GIVE OUR OFFER ACCORDING TO YOUR REQUIREMENTS FOR YOUR NEEDS FROM THE OPTIMUM CONCRETE PUMP.

The 2019 Copa Libertadores Final was the final match which decided the winner of the 2019 Copa Libertadores, the 60th edition of the Copa Libertadores, South American's top-tier continental club football tournament organized by CONMEBOL.

The match was played on 23 November 2019 at the Estadio Monumental in Lima, Peru, between Brazilian team Flamengo and the defending champions, River Plate from Argentina. This was the first Copa Libertadores final to be played as a single match at a neutral venue chosen in advance, replacing the previous home-and-away format.

Flamengo won the match 2–1, securing their second tournament title. As champions, they qualified as the CONMEBOL representative at the 2019 FIFA Club World Cup and the 2020 Recopa Sudamericana. They also automatically qualified for the 2020 Copa Libertadores group stage.

Teams

Venue

The match was played at the Estadio Monumental in Lima, Peru. Originally scheduled at the Estadio Nacional in Santiago, Chile the match had to be relocated to the Estadio Monumental in Lima due to protests in Chile. It was the first final to be played as a single match at a neutral venue chosen in advance, replacing the home-and-away format used from 1960 to 2018. The second leg of the 2018 final was played at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, Spain, the first final held outside of South America, after security concerns cancelled the original second leg at the stadium of River Plate in Buenos Aires.

This was the fourth Copa Libertadores Final held in Lima, after the play-off of the 1971 finals and the first legs of the 1972 and 1997 finals, all matches played at the Estadio Nacional.

Host selection
In 2016, CONMEBOL proposed that the Copa Libertadores final be played as a single match instead of over two legs. It was only on 23 February 2018 that CONMEBOL was able to confirm that the 2019 final onwards would be played as a single match at a venue chosen in advance, and on 11 June 2018 set the date of the match as 23 November 2019. With the Argentine and Brazilian cities banned by CONMEBOL for this bidding, three national associations had officialized interest in hosting the 2019 Copa Libertadores Final.

On 14 August 2018, the CONMEBOL Council selected the Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Prádanos in Santiago, Chile as the venue of the 2019 Copa Libertadores Final while the Estadio Nacional in Lima had been chosen to host the 2019 Copa Sudamericana Final. The Uruguayan Football Association withdrew its bid because Estadio Centenario did not meet the CONMEBOL requirements.

Large street protests in Chile began on 14 October 2019, involving millions of protestors and resulting in the deaths of at least 24 people. The protests led to safety concerns for the teams that would play the match and their travelling fans, despite this CONMEBOL still considered Santiago as the venue. Eventually, after a meeting between CONMEBOL president with the presidents of both finalists and those of their football associations and the Football Federation of Chile president, on 5 November it was announced that the match was moving to the Estadio Monumental in Lima, Peru, due to the ongoing unrest in Chile.

Show
Before the match, the Argentineans Fito Páez and Tini Stoessel, the Colombian Sebastián Yatra and the Brazilian Anitta, who performed "Y dale alegría a mi corazón" by Páez. Then two bands identified with the finalist teams participated: Turf, for River Plate and Gabriel o Pensador, for Flamengo.

Road to the final

Note: In all scores below, the score of the home team is given first.

Format
The final is played as a single match at a pre-selected venue, with the higher-seeded team designated as the "home" team for administrative purposes. If scores are level after full time, 30 minutes of extra time would be played. If still tied after extra time, a penalty shoot-out would be used to determine the winner.

Match

Summary
River Plate opened the match in a 2–3–3–2 formation, which allowed their midfield to dominate. This tactic gained them an early lead, when Rafael Santos Borré scored in the 14th minute from a cross by Ignacio Fernández.  River Plate had numerous chances for a second goal in the first half: Borré missed an opportunity by inches, Nicolás De La Cruz missed a good chance in the 21st minute, and Exequiel Palacios had two long-distance shots that nearly went in. However River Plate were unable to capitalise on these opportunities, so at half time the score remained 1-0.

River Plate continued to dominate in the early part of the second half. However, Flamengo began to assert themselves on the counter-attack, with Gabriel Barbosa and Éverton Ribeiro nearly scoring while Borré was down with an injury. Flamengo substitute Diego was brought on for Gerson in the 66th minute, and he helped Flamengo turn the match around. Diego began several counter-attacks, including in the 75th minute when he linked up with Bruno Henrique Pinto and Gabriel. The score was still 1-0 in the 89th minute, with River Plate seeking to finish off the game, when Flamengo's Arrascaeta won the ball from Lucas Pratto in his own half, and started a counter-attack by passing to Bruno Henrique. Henrique dribbled the ball down the left wing and cut inside; near the opposing goal, he passed the ball to Arrascaeta, who avoided the goalkeeper's challenge to pass to an open Gabriel who scored a tap-in to tie the game.

Three minutes later (in the second minute of injury time), Diego launched a deep pass from his own half that both River Plate centre backs missed. This allowed Gabriel to score again, giving Flamengo a 2-1 lead. The sudden reversal of fortune caused tempers to flare: Palacios kicked Bruno Henrique in the 95th minute, for which he received a red card. Gabriel Barbosa sarcastically applauded the referee in response; he also received a red card. The match ended shortly thereafter. After being behind for most of the match, Flamengo emerged as last minute champions, winning their second Copa Libertadores title.

Details

Post-match

Flamengo won their second Copa Libertadores and earned the right to represent CONMEBOL at the 2019 FIFA Club World Cup in Qatar. Jorge Jesus became the second non-South American manager to win the Copa Libertadores, following Mirko Jozić's 1991 championship for Colo-Colo. The club went on to clinch the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A title a day later after the second-place team, Palmeiras, was mathematically eliminated from reaching the title. Flamengo became the first Brazilian club to earn a league and continental double since Santos did in 1963. The victory celebrations in Rio de Janeiro attracted tens of thousands of fans as the players rode in an open-top bus, but ended with clashes between riot police and spectators.

Flamengo's two late goals to overturn a 0–1 deficit invited comparisons to the 1999 UEFA Champions League Final, in which Manchester United defeated Bayern Munich in a similar fashion.

Broadcasting
In Brazil, the match was broadcast by Rede Globo with commentary provided by Luiz Roberto, Júnior and Walter Casagrande, in addition to Fox Sports on cable television with commentary provided by Nivaldo Prieto, Edmundo and Paulo Vinicius Coelho. The original broadcast received an Ibope Rating of 38 points in the 15 largest metropolitan regions in Brazil, reaching a total of 65.7 million viewers, with almost half of the television sets in Brazil watching the Globo broadcast.

I guess you could say I'm a pretty frugal person most of the time. I don't like to spend money on new cars, expensive meals out, or lifestyle inflation.
But, when it comes to spending money on experiences, making memories, or my boy-girl twins (the beans) I'm willing to make bigger investments here and there.
To me, making memories with my family and taking care of the beans are the most important things in my life. This is how I choose to spend my money – not on "stuff" but on memories.
With that said, when I got pregnant last year, I knew that I wanted the full experience of newborn photos and possibly even a birth video. I also knew that these things would not come cheap at all.
In fact, paying for professional photography and videography is often one of the largest and most under-budgeted expenses for life events, like weddings and births.
When I began looking for a newborn photographer, it was very tempting for me to try to be frugal about it. I wanted to get photos taken, but I didn't want to spend the entire baby fund my hubs and I had saved up on photos.
However, the more I looked at the differences between the "cheap" photographers and the top-dollar ones, I could see why some people chose to pay for the more expensive photographers.
The photos were great quality and the kids didn't look upset or stressed. I had a good friend of mine take beautiful lifestyle photos when the babies were born, and she gave that to us as a gift.
I'm so grateful to her for that; however, I still wanted studio styled photos as well especially once the beans started to look more like nice, healthy plump babies. Because they were 5 weeks premature, it took them a while to get meat on their bones!
So, I have some beautiful pictures of the early days, and then I also paid for a studio photographer to come to my house when my twins were two months old, and I'm so happy with who I chose. The total price worked out to about $600 and although it was expensive, it was worth every penny.
Being a new mom is hard enough, and having twins right before having to move across the country for my hubs to continue medical school made it all the more stressful.
The best part about the photographer we chose was how great she was with the beans. She was truly the baby whisperer. She made sure they were warm, relaxed, and comfortable.
In fact, she was able to keep them asleep for the whole 5 hour session! It was truly a miracle. So to me, it was worth it to pay for a more experienced photographer because I knew she could handle taking the photos of two babies at one time. Plus I wanted to be happy with my photos for a lifetime, which I know I will be.
In addition to having newborn photos taken, I also decided to have a birth video compiled. Birth videos are getting more and more popular these days. Videos are easy to share with friends and family who weren't able to be with you for the birth of your baby for his or her first few days of life.
Yes, photos can be used for this purpose too, but a video makes them feel even more a part of the experience. Plus, you can use a video to look back on your own birthing experience for years to come. Giving birth is an amazing, exciting, and somewhat stressful experience. The video, which you can see below, was created by the amazing Joy at Cher Bebe Birth Stories.
For my birth video, some shots were taken prior to my c-section and others were taken during and after the arrival of the beans. If you are thinking of having a birth video put together, be sure to choose someone you trust and who will follow directions from you and your baby's father if something were to change during the birthing process.
I loved and trusted my birth photographer/videographer so much that she was the only other person in the room with me aside from my husband.
The price of a birth video is steep, even more so than photography most of the time. Most birth video packages start at around $500 but can go up to $1,200 or more. But again, it's an amazing thing to have.
Our beans don't have a lot of toys. They don't have tons of gadgets. They don't even have a lot of clothes, but the things they do have are newborn photos and videos of the first few months of their lives, which are priceless.
So, now that you know what newborn photography and videography can cost you (of course it varies by region), why should you hire these services done instead of DIY-ing it?
• Hiring a professional ensures quality images. Professional newborn photographers and videographers have lots of experience with newborns and know the best way to dress them, pose them, and soothe them during the session. They also know which shots are "must haves" for newborn photo sessions.
• Hiring a professional takes the stress out of it. Again, because of their knowledge and experience, hiring a professional to help with this special session will help ease your worry as a new parent. There are plenty of things to worry about, but your newborn photos/video should not be one of them.
• Hiring a professional allows both mom and dad to be involved in the pictures. If you are DIY-ing it, it can be difficult to get yourself and the baby's father in many of the images. Usually in DIY situations it's either one parent or the other in newborn photos. It is much easier to capture a whole family photo with a newborn if a professional is running the camera.
There are lots of areas in my life where I choose to be frugal; scrimping and saving to fit everything into our budget is my specialty. But, I knew that I didn't want to miss out on the opportunity to document the beans as newborns.
They are only newborns once, and it's something I want to be able to look back on and remember forever. Luckily with these incredible newborn photos and videos, I can.

I can relate to the value of professional photography, When Mini Maroon 1 was born, we didn't do official newborn pictures. I took a zillion as my very amateur self. I'm happy with them and was able to get some pretty good ones. When Mini Maroon 2 arrived almost two months ago, I decided I wanted to schedule professional pictures. Having settled into our maroon lifestyle, I bargain shopped. I found a woman for much lower than everyone else I saw. She was easy to work with, but I'm not crazy about the product we received. Respectable, but not great. Lessons I learned… Sometimes you get what you pay for – I know this, but let my wallet dictate this time. And if you want to take full family pictures with older siblings (2.5-year old, busy Mini 1), schedule two sessions – family and baby. We rushed through baby pics because Mini 1 was tired and ready to go home. Now we know should Mini 3 ever come along!
Cat, I've seen your videos/pics on your site and absolutely love them. That gal did such a great job. When we had our kids we didn't know such a thing existed, but if we did, we would've definitely spent the money on it.
Aw thanks Laurie. They are some of my fav things ever!
Gorgeous video!! I'd never really thought of a birth video and photos before, but, it totally makes sense and sounds like a great idea! How very special that your kiddos will be able to look back on these treasures when they're older. So cool!
Loved the video!! We had three kids years ago and hubby managed to be there for the two boys…our daughter , however, couldn't even wait for the doctor much less her father!!!!! No professional photos there!! I was there when our daughter gave birth to our grandson. She had pregnancy pictures done and newborn shots as well that were so nice to have!!!! Cutest of them was a shot of her and the grandson, sitting on the floor with him resting hie head on her knees as she kissed him. We didn't realize until we saw the proofs that he was yawning in the shot!!!! So cute!!!!
Aw thanks — that sounds amazingly adorable. I love baby pics!
I think it's money well spent. I have a billion pictures of my kids as infants but we were in a financial free fall when they were born (2years of HB unemployment…during which we had two surprise pregnancies!) so we never did professional infant pics. It's a regret I have and of course I can't go backwards!! Totally worth it!
My sister (the coach) took pictures of my daughter and I but I didn't have professional pictures until my daughter was 10 weeks old. I understand the sentiment of newborn pictures. You forget certain things as you age and having these pictures keeps those memories alive.
It's true! They grow up so fast!

Will the terrorists find out who is trying to expose their evil plan? Will the boys be able to stop them? And what will happen to Peyton's father when the general finds out what the boys did? When the Lights Go Out is a story for kids, and their parents, so we never forget 9/11.

How Gross Must We Be To Attract Boy Readers?
I have a new article available about the condition of recent books for boys at http://christianfictiononlinemagazine.com/middle_anderson.html
He'll Never Walk Again
Several months ago, I had the opportunity to submit a true story for consideration in this new book, "I Believe in Healing: Real Stories from the Bible and Today." My parents were told I would never walk again.

"He'll Never Walk Again" - Page 124 - is included in the book, and concerns events surrounding my third birthday when I contracted the dreaded disease of Polio. Of course, this was a traumatic chapter in my young life. Evangelist Billy Graham played a key role in my story and that of a brother and sister who had Polio at the same time. Today, none of us has any lasting effects. You can read our story in this new book.

What's Going On In Middle Grade Fiction?
By Max Elliot Anderson
Eleven years ago, I set out to write action adventure & mystery books for readers 8 to 12. At the time, I didn't know the term middle grade fiction, but came to understand this was the age that had been targeted. The age group was chosen because of many previous years spent in dramatic film productions for the same ages. That experience made it more comfortable to begin writing books for a familiar audience.
In the beginning, middle grade had its distinctives over material written for even younger readers, and the books written for high school ages known as young adult, or YA. Today, according to research and statistics, middle grade fiction books have become the largest, most popular category in children's books.
At the time I began writing; middle grade fiction followed certain guidelines. Interests for this age group center around family and friends. A part of them wants to stay a little kid while the other strains to grow up. It's extremely important for these children to fit in while, at the same time, discovering who they are as individuals. And most of them have their eyes on the goal of simply surviving to high school.
When I began writing for kids, the lines were more clearly drawn. But now, certain elements of YA have begun to creep in. The middle grade ages were clearly 8 – 12 or even 13. As a rule, they like to read and will enjoy adventures, mysteries, historical, action, fantasy, humor, and sci-fi. These readers like to read up, so the ages of main characters tend to be in the upper range, too. The characters need to face the same hopes and and fears of the readers.
It's also important, in middle grade fiction, to get the adults into the background, and let the plot, problem solving, and solutions come from the kids. The main character will also grow and change during the story. Strong language, or profanity, should not be used. Parents and teachers are still protective of their young readers at this age.
Middle grade lengths will range from 20,000 to 40,000 words. In some cases, publishers are requesting substantially longer manuscripts based on some of the previously popular books with much higher word counts. My middle grade adventures and mysteries range from about 23,000 to 43,000 words. Longer middle grade books came about as a result of titles including Harry Potter, A Series of Unfortunate Events, Percy Jackson, Eragon, and others. But shorter books tend to be the norm for most middle grade fiction. Vocabulary can be a little deeper for these readers. However, graphic novels have also crept into the mix. These books incorporate more comic-type images, or pictures, and depend on fewer words.
It used to be that the edgy, darker, and horror material was reserved for YA and adult books. However, I receive several books throughout the year which publishers send to me for possible review on my blog. A couple of recent batches were disturbing. I checked the accompanying paperwork to make sure these were actually intended for middle grade readers. They were. Subjects included stronger boy-girl relationships, zombies, vampires, witches, and the list goes on. Several of the books were quite dark and the humor was gutter. Some have even lamented that middle grade fiction today went, almost overnight, from PG to PG-13 and even R.
It is evident, from these new books, that those of us who write for middle grade readers need to continue producing material that is uplifting. Middle grade readers are impressionable, sensitive, and still forming who they're going to be as adults. And even though they may feel invincible, they still fear things like death, strangers, accidents, a house burning down, or some other personal tragedy.
Middle grade is such a pivotal time for readers. These readers are still focused inward and what they look for in books will reflect that. Themes can range from friendships, to school, to relationships and responsibilities within the family, circle of friends, and their neighborhoods. This is the age when they will decide to become a reader or not. Shouldn't we be doing all we can to fill the void with uplifting material for them to read?

The origin of Judith & Charles is a classic tale of girl meets boy, and another of life's enduring themes: sometimes great things happen when you least expect them. He was a charming Frenchman with an undeniable joie de vivre and entrepreneurial spirit. She was a talented young woman with an instinctive eye for fashion that combined both artistry and function. Their chance meeting on a Caribbean Island set the story of Judith & Charles in motion.
Each Judith & Charles collection is a deliberate fusion and contrast of Judith and Charles: feminine softness and strength are integrated with the inspirations of well-structured menswear. The instinct to design and manufacture eighty percent of the collection locally means we are both homegrown and supportive of the local economy. It also allows us to have full control over our production, pushing our strongest assets - fit and quality - to the forefront.
At Judith & Charles, we want to override any uncertainty women feel choosing or wearing clothing. We aim to facilitate the confidence, strength and comfort women need in the boardroom, at a first interview, or on a weekend. We continue this theme by supporting causes close to our hearts and women worldwide. We are proud sponsors of Dress for Success Montreal, an organization dedicated to the advancement of women in business.
Judith & Charles was recognized for an outstanding contribution to the fashion industry of Quebec. Vêtement Quebec is a non-profit organization that supports the fashion industry throughout the province. They focus on growing the industry and promoting it not only on a nation level, but an international one as well. It was an honor to have been presented with the 2017 Manufacturer Award by Vêtement Quebec.
