EAST LANSING (AP) — In a world whose ocean fish are being steadily depleted by over-harvesting, too little attention is being paid to the ability of fresh water bodies to provide fish for human consumption, Michigan State University scientists said.
So-Jung Youn, a graduate student in Michigan State's Center for Systems Integration and Sustainability, led a study of how governments around the world account for fresh water fishing as part of their analysis of food production.
Youn says there is little effort to account for the results of commercial and recreational fishing on inland waters. That's in contrast to ocean fishing, where authorities have much better record-keeping and monitoring.
The scientists report on their finding in this month's edition of the journal Global Food Security.
Worldwide, only 156 of the 230-plus countries and territories reported their inland capture fisheries production to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in 2010, the study found. It found that those that did report have "inaccurate and grossly underestimated data," according to Michigan State.
When accurately assessed, the amount of freshwater fish caught could equal the current amount of marine fish caught, the researchers found.
One result of this under-acccounting for fresh water fishing is that planning for projects such as dams and river diversions don't adequately account for the effects they might have on food security, the researchers said.
Michigan State fisheries professor William Taylor said the lesson is that people who fish or eat fish from inland waters need to be considered when water projects are planned.


NEW BEDFORD, Mass. – The New Bedford Whaling Museum is hosting a portion of an upcoming, three-day conference on the interconnectedness of New England and the Alaskan Arctic. On Monday, September 26 through Wednesday, September 28 attendees will explore, hear stories, learn lessons and draw insights from longstanding connections among whales, the marine environment, and human well-being in New England, Alaska, and the Arctic.
The three-day conference will incorporate multiple significant whaling sites in New England including Nantucket on September 26, Martha's Vineyard on September 27, and New Bedford on September 28. The conference activities at the New Bedford Whaling Museum will take place from 9 am to 6:30 pm. For conference details and registration information click here, go to www.whalingmuseum.org or call 508-997-0046.
In 19th century Alaska and the Arctic, Yankee and Inupiat whaling traditions coalesced, as whalers shared technology, traditions and local knowledge. This conference commemorates the whaling heritage that shaped communities and traditions along the coasts of western and northern Alaska.
Presentation and roundtable topics will include: Current Challenges in Arctic Sustainable Development and Ocean Conservation; Science, Values, and a Living Ocean; and Entanglement, Ship Strikes and Noise – Threats and Solutions for Whales, People, and the Environment.
For many years, the two regions have cooperated and collaborated to minimize human impacts on whales and other marine species. The conference is bringing together leaders from both regions to highlight historic and contemporary inter-dependence among whales, coastal communities and marine habitats. Plenary sessions will identify emerging challenges; envision new collaborations to protect marine ecosystems and species; and efforts to preserve coastal communities and culture.
The conference is presented by the International Fund for Animal Welfare, Nantucket Historical Association, Cape Cod Maritime Museum, National Marine Fisheries Service, Alaska Fisheries Center, Alaska Community Foundation, Alaska Humanities Forum, University of Alaska, and the New Bedford Whaling Museum.


National Eat a Red Apple Day 2018: How to Celebrate on 01 December: We all are aware that fruits are the main source of a lot of vitamins in our body. It is important to have them and always enjoy them because they are the big part of our life. Also, we all have heard of "An Apple a Day, Keeps the Doctor Away". Now, we might don't take it easy but it is really a right thing to do. You all should at least try to eat an Apple a day. We think that this fruit is very rich and one of the most healthy fruits of our planet.
Now, we don't know what comes up in your mind when we talk about an apple. We are expecting that you are in love with this fruit. You all might remember Apple as a Red Delicious fruit with engrained in our minds as what an apple look likes, that if you ask a child to draw an apple, without question it's going to be the red crayon they reach for. Yes! Even though Apple is here and we all love it but a red apple is quite common because it is very tasty and healthy.
If you might be wondering about the day then you all should know that Eat A Red Apple Day exists, to celebrate this iconic member of the apple family and its history. Now, you all should know that the American was in love with the Apple development after the travels of Johnny Appleseed. You all should know that till 1800's apple trees were everywhere in an amazing rainbow of delicious variety. Some of you might know that Apple is very healthy and it was famous because of its ability to handle rough growing conditions and its ability to keep a long time.
So you all should know that the apple varieties were being developed as a response to the ease of transporting apples on a commercial level around the US. You all might want to know that the Red Apple was one of those developed varieties and people loved it because it was tasty and healthy. Red Delicious held its position as the most popular apple in the world well into the 1980s, when its popularity began to decline. Overall, to increase its popularity the world started to celebrate this festival in big manners.

No Student Is an Island
Globalization is here to stay, like it or not, so all of our educational systems should strive to produce graduates who are capable of operating in the international arena. This is a key 21st-century skill.
Ideally, everyone should have the opportunity to study abroad, because the physical experience of adapting to a foreign culture produces learning opportunities that cannot be replicated in a hometown comfort zone. Even short educational trips can have a tremendous impact. When travel is not an option, many of us can take advantage of the diversity within our own communities to give hands-on cultural training, and we can also maximize the communications technology at our fingertips to internationalize classrooms.
With its blockbuster Hunger Games and Divergent franchises leading a range of films, the movie studio Lionsgate has generated an average of $2 billion at the global box office each of the past three years, ranking it among the major studio market-share leaders. Now, it is recognizing the opportunities in producing foreign-language films for markets worldwide (see p.15). Like all cutting-edge companies, Lionsgate needs people who are comfortable working in different languages with different cultures.
Our everyday concerns have changed radically over the course of a generation, thanks to our obsession with communication. Radio, television, telecoms, and cheap travel have transformed our perspective on, and knowledge of, the world beyond our borders.
On the one hand, we have shown remarkable, historical compassion in our reaction and response to the suffering of strangers overseas with whom we are never likely to have any contact, let alone break bread—but on the other, we have revealed our natural fear of change and the challenge that rapid change represents. Given the scale and velocity of globalization in our lifetimes, it's hardly surprising that there's a backlash from conservatives who hark back to the "good old days," when change occurred over decades rather than weeks.
Last month, President Obama said, "I think there was a British poet [John Donne] that said 'no man is an island.' Even an island as beautiful as this," during a trip to the UK, where he advised against leaving the European Union. His comments provoked a strong reaction from many Brits who feared the U.S. president was meddling in their affairs, but Obama explained that Britain's decision would have many ramifications that would affect the U.S., underlining the interdependence of nations today.
The reality is that we can't undo or uninvent the technologies that have made our world so much smaller. No tariffs, trade controls, currency restrictions, nor walls will stop the inexorable flow of goods, services, money, jobs, and people across borders.
Twenty years ago, making an international call was a big deal. Twenty years from now, living and working internationally, be it long term, on short contracts, or virtually, will be the norm for most of us, so all schools need to internationalize their curricula by embedding them with world languages and cultures, increasing the opportunity for study abroad, and ensuring that children today receive an education relevant to the demands of the 21st century.

Our clinic just started coding BMI for every encounter as applicable for HEDIS standards. Our staff uses adult BMI calculations for all age groups. The pediatric BMI codes are for patients under 21. We have been using the measurements taken by staff to convert these erroneous adult BMIs into Pediatric percentiles so that we may apply the correct code.
Will the staff need to start using Pediatric calculations for all patients under 21?
What about Asian BMI calculations?
From what I have researched, it seems we aren't supposed to calculate BMI ourselves, even if the height/weight/ age are there.
All insight is appreciated, thanks!
For BMI, the code assignment may be based on medical record documentation from clinicians who are not the patient's provider. The key word here is "clinicians." Their documentation is allowed because they are involved in the care of the patient (ex: dietitian, nurses, etc). However, the associated diagnosis (such as overweight or obesity) must be documented by the patient's provider.
So if the clinicians are calculating these incorrectly at an Adult rate and not a Pediatric rate, this needs to be corrected at the point of entry by the clinician. A coder should not be recalculating for coding purposes. The same would hold true if the BMI needed to be calculated based on race/ethnicity.

Building a Bruneian sunglasses brand: Alora Collection
Khairul Azmi's young, trendy brand has sold its thousandth pair of glasses with a simple returns and protection guarantee
On the early morning of October 2, 2016, Khairul Azmi Hj Metussin (pictured main C), an architect by qualification, found himself in an unusual situation.
Together with a few friends, they set up a table at the first Bandarkuceria in the capital, peddling headscarves and a handful of sunglasses.
Maybe it was the scorching morning weather, or perhaps because there were already a bunch of other vendors also selling headscarves, but Azmi's sunglasses – unbranded and straight-from-the-factory – did surprisingly well.
The 26-year-old, who had spent three years at the International Islamic University of Malaysia was at a crossroads in his life. He was between jobs – he had two years experience working for an architectural firm but was unable to gain employment.
"Before I begun selling at Bandarkuceria, I went back to Malaysia to take a course in Revit architecture, which was really popular, hoping that with it I would surely get a job," said Azmi. When he returned, however, he found himself still stuck in the same predicament.
Azmi, like many other students studying in Kuala Lumpur, often engaged in small amounts of reselling; they would buy – usually textiles – as much as their luggage could feasibly accommodate, and upon returning to Brunei, sell them online with a markup.
"It was a great, quick way to earn a little money," said Azmi. Moving forward however, the 26-year-old would need a more systematic way to procure.
He signed up for a marketing class by local fragrance company Shineblingz and later attending a business and personal development course called Intensif Magnet Kekayaan & Kejayaan in Malaysia.
"It was really only from these classes could I start to make sense of all the different things I needed to do to make a business work," he said. "After I decided that I would build my own brand – Alora – and focus on eyewear."
Azmi travelled to Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam to look for a supplier, and by leveraging on friends studying in Korea, attempted to source from there. He also scoured Chinese e-Commerce websites – but began conservatively by ordering six to ten styles, which has since expanded to 100 today.
"The first order is always the riskiest," said Azmi. He then looked for shade cases and packaging separately, and using his skills gained in graphic design from his degree – got to work on his logo and branding.
Without the investment to open a storefront – he set up a website where orders could be placed and did deliveries and meet-ups instead.
Azmi modelled his sales pitch off simplicity and convenience – all sunglasses are $25, with a three-day return policy, and 40% of a new pair if yours is damaged within the first 90 days.
"We have the three-day return so that if the customer doesn't like the fit they can just swap for a different pair," he said. "That promise has made a big difference. We're offering people that comfort and security when they shop. It shows that we're not just here to take their money, but that we want them to have sunglasses which they will be proud to wear."
Alora's collection carries all the eyewear staples from aviators, wayfarers and the clubmaster for those looking for a classic, timeless design. But a good amount of their stock is seasonal and experimental – where Azmi hopes to keep up and even insert his own trends.
"Eyewear is just as much about style as it is about protection," he says. "Our most recent are night view, driving glasses (with a yellow tint) that reduce glare, which hasn't really been popularized in Brunei yet. Our first batch has already sold out."
By partnering with Brunei's social media influencers, and participating in YES Letop – Alora has positioned themselves to end 2017 strong; once all the numbers are crunched, the brand would've sold over 1,000 sunglasses in under a year.
It's modest start considering Azmi's been running Alora on his own – employing part-times salespeople for events – and is now planning for two full-time staff in 2018.
"We've been here a day, and we've covered our cost," says Azmi outside his booth at YES Letop at ICC.
"I didn't think I would be selling sunglasses after I graduated," he adds. "But I'm glad that I am."
To check out their range, visit alora-collection.com and follow their Instagram @alora.collection for the latest updates. You can also find their eyewear at Closet Culture, located on the first floor of the Annajat Complex in Kg Mata-Mata.

A Legislative Update
There's been a lot in the news about congress and tax cuts and healthcare, but there are four bills that I am watching that specifically do with criminal justice reform. In addition to the victories that we have had this year, I've been reading that there will be a "Legislative sprint" this upcoming week and I am hopeful that some of the bills covered here will be part of that sprint.
H.R.64 – Federal Prison Bureau Nonviolent Offender Relief Act of 2017
The Federal Prison Bureau Nonviolent Offender Relief Act of 2017 was introduced by Shelia Jackson Lee (D-TX) on 1/3/2017. The CRS* has summarized this bill as follows:
This bill amends the federal criminal code to require the Bureau of Prisons to release early an offender who has completed at least half of his or her prison sentence if such offender has: (1) attained age 45, (2) committed no violent offenses, and (3) received no institutional disciplinary violations.
On January 12, 2017 this bill was referred to the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, Homeland Security, and Investigations. According to GovTrack, this bill has been introduced each session since 2003.
S.1917 – Sentencing Reform and Corrections Act of 2017
The Sentencing Reform and Corrections Act of 2017 was introduced by Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and several other sponsors on October 4, 2017.
There is no official CRS summary but a summary by the Senate Judiciary Committee Indicates that this bill does the following:
-Reforms & Targets Enhanced Mandatory Minimums for Prior Drug Felons
-Increases Judicial Discretion for Sentencing of Certain Nonviolent Offenders
-Reforms Enhanced Mandatory Minimums & Sentences for Firearm Offenses
-Creates New Mandatory Minimums for Interstate Domestic Violence & Certain Export Control Violations, and New Mandatory Enhancement for Trafficking of Fentanyl-Laced Heroin
-Applies the Fair Sentencing Act and Certain Sentencing Reforms Retroactively
-Establishes Recidivism Reduction Programs to Facilitate Successful Reentry
-Limits Solitary Confinement for Juveniles in Federal Custody & Improves Accuracy of Federal Criminal Records
-Provides for a Report and Inventory of All Federal Criminal Offenses
-Creates National Criminal Justice Commission to undertake a comprehensive review of the criminal justice system, which has not been done in more than 50 years.
On October 4, 2017, this bill was referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. According to GovTrack, a similar bill was introduced in October 2015.
S.1933 – Smarter Sentencing Act of 2017
The Smarter Sentencing Act of 2017 was introduced by Mike Lee (R-UT) and others On October 2, 2017.
There is no official CRS summary but in a press release on his webpage, Senator Lee Indicates the following:
"Our current federal sentencing laws are out of date, they are often counterproductive, and in far too many cases they are unjust," said Senator Lee. "The Smarter Sentencing Act is a commonsense solution that will greatly reduce the financial and, more importantly, the human cost imposed on society by the broken status quo. The SSA will give judges the flexibility and discretion they need to impose stiff sentences on the most serious drug lords and cartel bosses while enabling nonviolent offenders to return more quickly to their families and communities."
On October 5, 2017 this bill was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. According to GovTrack, a similar bill was introduced in February of 2015.
S.1902 – Mens Rea Reform Act of 2017
The Mens Rea Reform Act of 2017 was introduced by Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and others on October 2, 2017.
There is no official CRS summary but in a press release on his webpage, Senator Hatch Indicates the following:
…[the] Mens Rea Reform Act of 2017, would set a default intent standard for all criminal laws and regulations that lack such a standard. This legislation would ensure that courts and creative prosecutors do not take the absence of a criminal intent standard to mean that the government can obtain a conviction without any proof a guilty mind.
The bill's title, written by its author, says "A bill to specify the state of mind required for conviction for criminal offenses that lack an expressly identified state of mind, and for other purposes."
On October 2nd 2017, this bill was referred to the committee on the Judiciary. According to GovTrack, a similar bill was introduced in November of 2015.
*The Congressional Research Service (CRS) of the Library of Congress works exclusively for the United States Congress, providing policy and legal analysis to committees and Members of both the House and Senate, regardless of party affiliation. CRS provides Congress with analysis that is authoritative, confidential, objective, and non-partisan.
How a Bill Becomes a Law:
The U.S. Congress is the legislative branch of the federal government and makes laws for the nation. Congress has two legislative bodies (houses): the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives. Anyone elected to either body can propose a new law. Proposals for new laws are called bills.
-A bill can be introduced in either house of Congress by a Senator or Representative who sponsors it.
-Once a bill is introduced, Representatives or Senators will meet in small groups to discuss, research or make changes to it.
-The bill is then put before that house to be voted on.
-If the bill passes one body of Congress, it is then presented to the other body to go through a similar process to be proposed, discussed and voted on.
-Once both bodies vote to accept a bill, it is presented to the President.
-The President then considers the bill. The President can approve the bill and sign it into law or not approve (veto) a bill.
-If the President chooses to veto a bill, in most cases Congress can vote to override that veto and the bill becomes a law. However, if the President pocket vetoes a bill after Congress has adjourned, the veto cannot be overridden.

I believe that all of these pieces of legislation are important and should become law. I will keep you posted on these bills as they go through the process.

In art, what was once the deep and meaningful has been replaced with the new and different.
There had always been "Impressionist" paintings; they were simply called studies.
Beauty in a work of art is in its observable application, not in the resultant effect.
Digital "painting" is to art what the cubic zirconia is to gems.
Without universal standards of aesthetics, we can determine neither quality nor inferiority.

This question was posed by Brian Castner, who authored a piece in The Daily Beast about the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's (DARPA) hopes in discovering that answer. Statistics show how important this research is: 20 percent of veterans who were involved in an explosion are coming home with a diagnosis of a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Many veterans are not aware that they have a TBI because they have not exhibited any of the symptoms. However, symptoms of a TBI can sometimes take years to manifest.
Castner's story has some good news though. DARPA's nearly decade-long foray into studying the effects of explosive blasts on the human body and brain has resulted in the development of a small device called a blast gauge to be worn by all soldiers in combat. The gauge can measure the severity of a blast and warn a soldier and medical personnel if they need a more thorough examination.
Civilians may not be subjected to explosive blasts that are experienced by our veterans, but TBIs occur any time external force alters brain functions. If you incurred a TBI at the hands of a negligent party, contact our firm so we can get you the compensation and help you need.

Track: Performance Support
Often, the traditional mandatory training required by regulatory agencies does not adequately prepare staff to perform the tasks as expected. Reviewing the information once a year, staff forget the information before they are required to complete the task on the job. It's no surprise, then, that when surveys or inspections occur, staff are unable to perform as required.
109 Say Goodbye to Content Mayhem: Lessons Learned by Allstate
Claudia Lewis, Pat Baker
Do you fear that your employees lack a single place to go when looking for the information needed to do their jobs? Do you worry about delivering consistent customer service experiences? You're not alone: Allstate had these same concerns before they set a company-wide initiative to build a world-class training environment and knowledge repository for their employees.
209 The Journey from Structured Classroom Training to True Performance Support
Peggy Kidd
1:00 PM Tue, March 27
Structured, classroom-based training can take a long time and add additional costs, and it can be very frustrating to create resource documents. Who wants paper references that have to be updated constantly, or to use a homemade reference system that is just as painful to maintain? Are you losing good people during or just after their new-hire training? There has to be a better way!
305 Adopting the Performance Support Mindset
Roberta Dombrowski
The time was right for The Predictive Index to adopt a performance support mindset. The only problem was, they hadn't done it before! In spite of the challenges posed by an agile software environment, over 20 languages, and no hint of which tool set to choose, performance support is now alive and well and growing in its adoption around the globe throughout the PI Network. So how did they accomplish this?
406 70:20:10 Learning Ecosystem Benchmarking Report
Bob Mosher, Conrad Gottfredson
70:20:10 is a popular concept in our industry. The framework provides structure that should exist in our efforts to support a workforce. However, what does 70:20:10 look like beyond just the ratio? How are organizations using the framework and, more importantly, what benefits are organizations seeing from using this approach?
509 Performance Support—5 Guidelines to Guarantee Success
10:45 AM Wed, March 28
Performance support is a methodology that has been around for decades. However, recent years have seen a resurgence of interest and possibilities for performance support as technologies have evolved, which has opened new pathways for supporting workers in their moment of need. While promising, performance support is also a deviation from traditional approaches to training and development. How can you and your organization successfully add performance support to your strategies?
606 Panel Discussion: The Expanding Landscape of Performance Support
Hal Christensen, Mark Britz, Molly Petroff, Saif Altalib
1:00 PM Wed, March 28
The demands of the modern organization require you to look for more efficient ways to help people build their skills. Because of this, organizations are looking beyond traditional classes and courses that take time away from the job, and they're also focusing on performance support: providing help directly in the flow of people's work. These just-in-time options include more than just the job aids you've used in the past. Resources such as social technology, EPSS, video, and augmented reality offer new ways to provide employees with instant access to the answers they need.
707 Build Your Own Performance Support and Microlearning Apps
Hal Christensen
Many training designers recognize that too much knowledge is lost in the transfer from their courses to the workplace. Performance support and microlearning assets, delivered at the point of need, could solve the problem; but often, the company lacks the tools or infrastructure for delivering just-in-time assets.
712 5 Ways to Create Contextual and Embedded Help
Markus McKay-Fleisch
Employees want help whenever they need it, but most L&D departments create materials that they store in an LMS or knowledge base. Searching for those materials interrupts your learners' workflow and takes time out of their day. What if, instead, you could provide help to them in the tools that they use so that all they had to do was simply hover or click a button to get answers?
1006 Transforming eLearning into ePerformance
Susan Fisher
10:00 AM Thu, March 29
You're sold on the benefits of performance support, but your internal customers don't "get" it. With an LMS full of eLearning courses, your learning organization isn't ready to jump full bore into a performance support approach to learning, and your IT department won't be investing in performance support delivery technology anytime soon. How can you use your existing assets to create working solutions that prove the worth of this approach?
1008 AT&T University Performance Support Solutions
Saif Altalib
Research demonstrates that when learning is embedded in the everyday flow of work, it has more impact on both the business and learners. You should be wary of designing and investing in solutions that increase the barriers between working and learning. Learning must be available at the point of need. Delivering a true holistic learning experience requires modern tools—tools that enable just-in-time content delivery, streamlined curation of critical information, and comprehensive data analytics.

(CNN) — Every year, around 25 global sites deemed to have "outstanding universal value" are added to UNESCO's World Heritage list.
There are now more than 1,000 sites to visit all over the world.
Not bad, considering the original list, compiled in 1978, included only 12 entries.
There are still a few months till the newest members of the prestigious list are announced in June, so here's a look back at 20 of the most beautiful -- and famous -- already on the list.
Site details in the gallery above, while info on getting to each is below.
The site is a 20-minute tuk-tuk ride from the city of Siem Reap.
The bulk of visitors come between November and February, when the weather is dry and temperatures are coolest (25-30 C).
To make the most of your visit to this incredible temple complex, a guide is essential.
We recommend Tong Hann of the Anantara Angkor Resort & Spa.
His knowledge and respect for the sites and their history is phenomenal; he's particularly skilled at creating an itinerary that will keep you away from crowds and allow you to check out some lesser known but beautiful ruins.
It's possible to take a tour to the site, or simply wander in from Athens on foot.
The route along Adrianou Street to the back entrance of the site is a gentler climb than the Dionysus Theatre entrance.
For more information, visit the Greece tourism website.
Ok, so it's still on the tentative list.
But we couldn't help but include this beautiful stretch of ruins on the Irawaddy River that dates to the 10th century.

The less developed but refreshingly uncrowded Brazilian side of the falls is a half-hour bus ride from the city of Foz do Iguacu.
It's the same distance to the falls from Puerto Iguazu on the Argentine side.
The two countries are connected via a bridge downriver of the falls.
For more information, visit the Argentina tourism website.
Most visitors to this remote southern region of Argentina base themselves in El Calafate, the closest town to the park entrance.
There are daily flights and buses from the capital, Buenos Aires.
For excursion options, check out Gigantes Patagones.
Several multi-day treks terminate at Machu Picchu, but it's also possible to take a train from Cusco to Aguas Calientes, and climb a steep flight of stairs or bus up to the site.
Only the first 400 daily visitors are granted entry to Wayna Picchu, a separate set of ruins overlooking the main complex.
Tucan Travel offers a range of tour options.
Mont-Saint-Michel is serviced by buses/tours from Rennes and St-Malo, but it's also possible to stay in one of Mont Saint-Michel's small hotels.
For more information, visit the Normandy tourism website.

It's also possible to organize tours from Egypt, and the Israeli resort town of Eilat.
For longer stays, you can bunk down in Wadi Musa, Petra's neighboring town.
For more information, visit the Jordan tourism website.
Just 25 kilometers southwest of Cairo along the Nile River, the complex is most easily visited on a day trip from Egypt's capital.
For more information, visit the Egypt tourism website.
While it's possible to access Easter Island by air from Tahiti, most visitors opt for the five-and-a-half hour flight from Santiago, Chile.
For more information, visit the Chile tourism website.
The short October/November and March/April rainy seasons notwithstanding, the Serengeti, usually accessed via Kilimanjaro or Nairobi airports, offers great game viewing year-round.
For tours, visit the Audley Travel website.
The central Sri Lankan site is located two to three hours by local bus from the city of Kandy (via Dambulla, home to a massive cave temple complex).
It's also possible to organize a tour or personal driver from Kandy.
For more information, visit the Sri Lanka tourism website.
Located a few minutes drive from the small Yucatan Peninsula township of Tulum, the easily accessible ruins lie about 60 kilometers south of the larger township of Playa del Carmen, and a further 60 kilometers from Cancun.
For more information, visit the Mexico tourism website.
Just south of Sicily, Malta is connected by flights from across Europe.
It's possible to stay in Valletta, but the bulk of visitors make for the tiny nation's beach resorts.

I finished my first eLearning course with digital marketing strategist Joel Widmer! The course covers how to minimize distractions & be more productive so you can focus on building what matters in your business.
Dadsocks and I just finished our first commercial space - two lions squaring off at a local Crossfit gym. We use a projector and spray paint (you can see our process in the video). Excited to see what doors this might open. . .
Completed another mural with DadSocks Thanksgiving night.
Finished my first mural last night with DadSocks.
Letters I designed for a Fashion Blog video.


Last month we did a style shoot with one of our favorite Chicago Stylists and fashion show guru, Savvy Souk. We always have such blast with her, so we asked her to pair an outfit with our bowler bag. Typically, these bags make for the perfect overnight or weekend bag. You can fit A TON of stuff in there AND they have a zipper, so perfect for any travel plans! However, with winter approaching, we tend to carry more stuff with us so I think they make for a great everyday bag. You can pack a laptop, clutch, scarf, mittens, keys, book ( honestly anything really) and look fabulous toting it around your city with you!
We love how Souk played off the studs on our black bowler and wore a kitten heel with a metallic toe and a blouse that has metallic studs! So cute! Since it's winter, you can get away with a whole black ensemble, maybe add a textured piece like Souk did with her faux fur vest! She looks fabulously chic and the bowler just completes her outfit! Check it out!
Our bowler bag was made by Rachid in Marrakech, Morocco. He runs 2 small workshops and a retail space on the outskirts of the Marrakech Medina. He employs over 12 leather artisans, including pattern makers, tailors, and leather dyers. He began learning the trade at the age of 16, after finishing high school, and apprenticed with three different master leather workers before opening his own workshop five years later. He has an eye for combining Western design with Moroccan craftsmanship and reads Elle and Marie Claire to come up with new designs.
ps, we are getting an oxford red bowler in for the holidays:) stay tuned!


While prepping a manuscript for the Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, I needed a BiBTeX (.bst) style file that I could use to format my references properly if I wanted to use BiBTeX and LaTeX to write the manuscript. CJES does alow you to submit LaTeX (.tex) files, however I couldn't find a reference style file online. Instead, I used the custom-bib package to create a custom file that matched up with the CJES reference format. In order to hopefully save others from extra work, I've posted the resulting file here for anyone to use. Be forewarned though, some of the more awkward types of references may not be exactly as they should be, and for the final submission I think you may need to copy the bibliography and paste it directly in the LaTeX file you submit.

Georgia on their minds with new video tracking Cycle star
26th October 2016 by insideMoray
Video tracks the progress of Georgia Mansfield.
THE TEAM BEHIND a project that is working to help a young Moray cyclist towards her ultimate goal of Olympic stardom has released a video that explains why their charge is so special.
'Project Georgia' was set up a year ago with the aim of supporting Georgia Mansfield, a rising star in Scottish cycling, to her first ambition – to be included in a Scottish Cycling Development Programme.
Since the formation of the support group Georgia's progress has been remarkable – with all initial aims met and surpassed. Now the video records just what the exciting young cyclist is all about – and why so many people in Moray are giving up so much of their own time to support her.
Sheila Scott, chair of the Project Georgia fundraising committee, said: "We have a girl here who has more grit and determination that anyone else I've ever met in my life. We first met Georgia when she was 14-years-old when she came out with us and kept up with the fast guys easily, and when she was 15 she was keeping pace with a triple-medal winning Para Olympian Steve Bate.
"We realised she had something special – when we first saw her in a race at 16, we realised we had to do something about it and a few members of the Moray Wheelers got together with her parents and coach, Peter Eccles, to put a plan together to help Georgia at least get onto the first ladder of Scottish Cycling."
The team are now looking ahead to 2017, with fundraising efforts even more important as Georgia requires regular trips to attend Scottish Cycling Development Programme sessions.
More information on 'Project Georgia' can be found on the groups Facebook Page.

14 great DIY Valentine gifts for you to make for that special someone.
14. Quilled Cards are so Pretty!
There are a ton of ideas to make your own gifts. I personally think that all Valentine gifts should be hand-made and come from the heart – there is no need for commercial gifts to say I love you.
These are super cute (though less tasty than a Chinese fortune cookie). Fill up some felt fortune cookies filled with messages of love.
Give out Valentine treats is these adorable little bags. The bags can be re-used for many things afterwards.
I've created the hubby some little keepsakes to show him I love you. I have picture up small wooden plaques or boxes from the local dollar store (or a craft store). I've transferred photos onto wood and woodburnt on some decorations and love notes.
Learn how to transfer photos onto wood.
The process is simple, and it makes sure a beautiful picture. Much more unique than simply framing an image. I love the look of wood and adding these photo transfers makes for a very special little gift.
Flowers that will never wilt! These little pom pom flower bouquets are super cute!
Nothing is more relaxing than a bath, especially with bath bombs or bubbles. Make some home-made bath bombs as a Valentine gift.
This is a simple one I've done for the hubby in the past.
Write or pick a simple poem. Print it out.
Pick a few of your favourite pictures.
Place them on a nice background and frame it up for your love.
Who doesn't like lollipops. Arrange them into a cute bouque of lollipop flowers for your special someone.
I am in the process of doing this with some flowers I got from the hubby. It is an awesome way to perserve flowers.
I can never turn down cheesecake. These are super sweet conversation heart cheesecake.
These are the days I wish I could have wreaths on my door, but winter keeps me from it unfortunately. These Valentine wreaths from 36th Avenue are so pretty!
Red velvet, yum! These are festive Valentine cookies and sound like a tasty treat. Get the recipe here.
Paper quilling is on my crafting bucket list. These quilled Valentine cards are a great home-made card – much nicer than buying a card.
I hope some of these DIY Valentine Gifts help you show your feelings for the ones you love. Join us on Facebook and show us what you create!

September 2018 • Womenswear
Monthly Insights: The Newness Factor
In today's fast fashion industry, newness is one of the key contributing factors to success. The landscape's increasingly fast pace reflects the demand of the consumers - always hungry for the latest products in the market. Having a responsive supply chain by regularly refreshing assortments maintains your relevancy in the market.
By Amelia Teh
The Brands with the Most Newness
Top 10 Fast Fashion Womenswear Brands
This September signaled the reduction in newness intake for Fall 2018, compared to prior months in July and August. The total New-In products of top 10 brands was captured at 32,598 items.
Zara led the pack with 7,208 items, 1.5x more than H&M at 2nd place (refer Chart 1).
Asian Rising
Zalora (Southeast Asia), Pomelo Fashion (Thailand), and Pazzo (Taiwan) joined the rank with a combined contribution of 22% to total newness.
Ranking by New-In % of Total Assortment
Ranking by New-In % to the respective brand's total assortment reflected productivity and altered the positions of brands in the initial ranking (refer Chart 2).
Zara remained at the top, while H&M was overtaken by Pazzo with 22% of its total assortment being new. Mango, Pomelo Fashion and Missguided moved up the rank quite significantly in the new computation, showing strong newness intake.
Meanwhile, sharing similar fate as H&M – NEXT, Boohoo and Zalora also fell to the bottom half rank.
New-In vs. Sell-Out Analysis
Productivity Analysis
To further evaluate the impact of New-In on trade performance, we compared the contribution of the total 10 brands' New-In against Sell-Out contribution (refer Chart 3).
Pazzo, the 2nd top brand with the most newness, performed well with 5% New-In contribution that matched Sell-Out contribution. A similar pattern was observed for Pomelo Fashion.
Brands that observed a huge gap between New-In vs. Sell-Out were Zara, Zalora, Boohoo and H&M, despite having launched high number of New-In products for the month.
Zara and Zalora's New-In contribution greatly outperformed Sell-Out by +15% and +6% respectively.
Boohoo and H&M on the other extreme, launched limited newness with -9% and -12% variance against Sell-Out, which signified missed opportunities.
Note: Chart 4 displayed the tabulation of data used for comparison – % of Total New-In Products vs. % Total Sell-Out at Full Price.
The Leading Categories
New-In products launched this month observed a lift in Dresses compared to previous months in July and August, where the focus had been on Outerwear. Fall 2018 colours dominated with earthy tones, punctuated by solid yellow, orange and blue.
Top 5 categories with the most newness:
Accents of luxury were evident with sequin, velvet and faux leather materials. Notable styling were ruffles, cami straps, and high-waisted bottoms.
One of the least seen options was animal prints, compared to the more commercial floral prints.
Width vs. Productivity: Brands with the most newness did not appear to be driving the equivalent of Sell-Out, as evident in the case of Zara and Zalora. Zara has been slow to e-commerce adoption, as online expansion to Asia began just last year.
Faced with a similar e-commerce predicament was H&M, who just launched its online presence in India and China in the first quarter of 2018 (China via Alibaba's Tmall), playing catch-up with its major rivals.
The fast fashion behemoth was also in another news headline early this year for having high unsold inventory worth US$4.3 billion, based on its first quarter financial report. Newness launched by the brand this month was modest in rank, albeit behind Sell Out by 12%.
Unlike H&M's low New-In as a result of an existing over-stocked situation, Boohoo may have under-forecasted New-In with its massive sales growth of 50% reported for the first half of 2018 by The Guardian, which could lead to underwhelming sales (its Sell-Out exceeded New-In by 9% in this report).
Emerging Brands: Little known brand Pazzo from Taiwan made a surprise entry into the top 10 rank, with high newness and good productivity. The chic and affordable brand appeals mostly to the locals (Taiwan is among the world leaders with high e-commerce penetration).
Thailand-based Pomelo Fashion aggressively gained market share in Southeast Asia with its fourth newly opened physical store in Bangkok, while maintaining a healthy online performance.
Adopt Proactivity: Crucial to trade productivity is routine measuring and monitoring of the relevant metrics.
Aside from the usual sales against inventory analysis, the alternative measure of Sell-Out against New-In demonstrated in this report presents an additional perspective to indicate early signs of overstocked issues or missed opportunities.
Brands should be proactive to forecast and re-forecast the quantum of newness and adjust the phasing of launches with each analysis to stay ahead of the game.
Go Glocal: The success of Pazzo and Pomelo Fashion can be attributed to their deeper understanding of consumers within the region.
While the international brands competed to offer global key trends of Fall 2018, the Asian brands retained some local elements, such as Pazzo's above-the-knee dresses with light blouses and Pomelo Fashion's buckled bottoms. In fact, on top of the local trends, Pomelo Fashion also launched a new collection in pastel palette this month – a seamless effort that appealed to the target market.


Genital herpes symptoms are generally caused by the herpes simplex virus HSV-2, although genial infections can also occur with HSV-1.
Infection typically occurs during unprotected sexual activity with an infected partner, although infection may also occur through contact with someone with an oral outbreak of the virus.
The common genital herpes infection symptom is tiny fluid-filled blisters on the skin or mucus membranes.
Between outbreaks the virus remains dormant inside the nerve cells in the region of the outbreak.
Following a trigger, the virus reactivates and travels back to the surface to begin the blister outbreak cycle again.
Diagnosis is typically through laboratory culture of a swab of the outbreak area. A blood test is also performed to identify antibodies to the virus.
There is no cure for herpes. Antiviral cream treatments are focused on the relief of the genital herpes infection symptoms, reducing the incidence of occurrence, or shortening of the duration of recurring outbreaks.
Prevention is key for control of the spread of the disease. Use of a condom during sexual activity and avoiding oral contact with infected individuals during outbreaks are effective measures.

Escaped Venezuelan Opposition Leader Welcomed in Spain, Meets with Rajoy
Ex-Caracas Mayor Antonio Ledezma, alias "the vampire", was welcomed in Madrid by Spain's right-wing prime minister.

Nov 20th 2017 at 2.57pm
Antonio LedezmaSpain-Venezuela relations
Caracas, November 20, 2017 (venezuelanalysis.com) – Former Caracas Metropolitan Mayor Antonio Ledezma arrived in Madrid from Bogota Saturday after fleeing house arrest the day before.
In the early hours of Friday morning, Ledezma escaped across the Colombian border and was welcomed by the government in Bogota, which said the ex-mayor entered the country "legally" and indicated it was willing to offer him political asylum.
A longtime opposition hardliner, Ledezma was arrested and indicted in 2015 in alleged connection to a thwarted coup plot as well as alleged sponsorship of right-wing terrorism.
More specifically, the politician was repeatedly named by ultra right-wing student leader Lorent Saleh as the chief ally of violent anti-government militants. Saleh was extradited from Colombia in 2014 after a series of intercepted Skype conversations revealed plans to carry out bombings and assassinate leftist political leaders in the Venezuelan border state of Tachira.
Following his arrival in Madrid, Ledezma was received at Moncloa Palace by Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, who called the ex-mayor "one of the principal [role] models of the sister people of Venezuela's struggle to recover freedom and democratic normality".
The meeting was sharply denounced by Venezuela's Foreign Ministry as the "latest in a long list of aggressions" against the Maduro government from Madrid.
"President Rajoy insists on violating all the principles of international law in giving protection and sustained support to an extremist group of the violent Venezuelan opposition," reads the text of the official foreign ministry statement.
Ledezma's arrival in Spain has, nonetheless, been welcomed by a number of leading right-wing Spanish political figures, including former Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar.
"Welcome to Spain, friend," Aznar wrote in a message published on social media.
Leader of Spain from 1996 to 2004, Aznar has been a staunch backer of Venezuela's right-wing opposition, and in 2002 he openly supported a coup against late President Hugo Chavez, labeling the short-lived Carmona dictatorship a "provisional government".
Following his escape, Ledezma also reportedly held a telephone conversation with Organization of American States Secretary General Luis Almagro.
"I spoke on the phone with Mayor Antonio Ledezma who freed himself from the dictatorship to fight for the liberation of Venezuela," he wrote on Twitter.
Dialogué telefónicamente con el Alcalde Antonio Ledezma @alcaldeledezma quien se liberó de la dictadura para luchar por la liberación de #Venezuela #OEAconVzla pic.twitter.com/rXt1PnZfa6
— Luis Almagro (@Almagro_OEA2015) November 19, 2017
A self-declared enemy of the Venezuelan government, Almagro has openly aligned himself with the opposition's radical wing represented by Ledezma and Maria Corina Machado, using his platform at the OAS to promote election boycotts and sanctions.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, for his part, said Friday that Ledezma had fled to Spain to "live the good life" and that Caracas does not want him back.
"They can keep their vampire over there. The people of Madrid will have to be careful at night," he said, making use of the politician's popular nickname.
Ledezma earned the notorious moniker during his tenure as governor of the Caracas Federal District in which he presided over widespread state repression, including the 1989 Caracazo massacre that saw security forces gun down at least 3000 people amid anti-austerity protests. The opposition leader was never charged in relation to the bloody episode.
Upon his arrival in Spain, Ledezma wasted no time in making public his political allegiances in the southern European country, attacking the left-wing Spanish political party Podemos as an arm of the Venezuelan government and distancing himself from exiled Catalan President Carles Puigdemont.
When asked if his case is similar to that of the Catalan independence leader currently seeking political asylum in Belgium, Ledezma replied, "Mr. Puigdemont has tried to divide Spain [while] I freed myself because I want to unite Venezuela."
The ex-mayor has also taken aim at his fellow leaders of Venezuela's main opposition coalition, the Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD).
"There has to be a purge within the opposition… We have won many victories but we have turned them into defeats," he remarked during a press conference on Saturday.
In particular, Ledezma lambasted the MUD's choice to participate in last month's regional elections as well as the decision by some opposition parties to register for December 10 municipal races.
However over the past month, a host of opposition leaders have blamed Ledezma's and others' calls for abstention for the MUD's devastating defeat in regional elections on October 15.
He additionally criticized the MUD's decision to participate in December 1 talks with the government.
"How are we going to dialogue if the internal contradictions have not been resolved," he said, referring to renewed outbreak of internecine strife within the MUD following its electoral loss.
Ledezma has vowed to launch a "global pilgramage" to "tell the truth" about Venezuela.

Our Featured Athlete: Alyssa Limbaugh '19
Brooke Santy, Reporter|November 29, 2018

Brooke Santy
Alyssa Limbaugh, a member of the Moravian College women's cross country and track & field team, shares some of her best moments as a runner and what keeps her running. Limbaugh is a Spanish major in the secondary education/foreign language track at Moravian with a minor in art.
How did you get into running? What still draws you to the sport?
I started running in seventh grade. I was 12 years old and it's kind of funny because I told my family and friends that I [was] going to do track, but I couldn't run more than a lap around the track. My mom and aunt both ran cross country and track when they were in high school and college. So, on the first day of junior high track, my coach was like, "Okay, if you think you're going to do sprints then go over here, and if you think you're going to do long distance go over here," and I thought, "Awh, I should do long distance to make my family happy." And that was it.
I still really enjoy running. I mostly like it for the team aspect. I used to play soccer, basketball, and other sports when I was younger, but cross country has a very different vibe. We do compete as individuals, but I feel like as a team we're more connected than other sports. Even among the other teams, we'll see if people fall down at the end of the race, or if they trip during the race, or if someone loses their shoes, and you'll have girls from other teams coming to pick them up and helping them. We don't get angry at each other. We wish each other good luck before all the races. It's a really positive atmosphere.
What has this season been like?
This season has been kind of tough for the team because we've either had bad weather conditions or bad course conditions or just things that have really thrown us off. But last season, I broke 24 minutes in the 6K for the first time at Paul Short [a race at Lehigh University, which is the biggest cross country race in America], so that was a big accomplishment.
I feel like I've been running the practices and the workouts a lot better this year, and I feel mentally and physically stronger than any year before.
What would you say the team's biggest accomplishment this season was so far?
We've had a lot of girls on our team get some really good PR's [personal records] this year. We've had some girls drop like a minute or even two minutes in some cases. So I've just seen a lot of growth this year. And it's also really cool because we only had one girl graduate last year and we added five more girls, so this is the most depth I've seen on this team in all my years here.
Do you have any sport accomplishments?
I've received the athletic-academic honor rolls.
What is the best memory you have playing soccer for Moravian?
On the day of our home meet a few weeks ago, we all had to drive ourselves to the course, which is about 15 minutes away. I wasn't in the best mood due to factors outside of running, but when I got into the car with four other of my friends on the team, we blasted music, from Mama Mia specifically, and sang at the top of our lungs the whole way there. During that ride, all I could think about was how much I'm going to miss the small moments like that after I graduate, and how grateful I was for my teammates. They turned that whole day around for me.
What do you plan on doing post Moravian?
I hope to find a job as either a high school or middle school Spanish teacher, either in the Bethlehem area so I can stay close to Moravian or in the area of central Pennsylvania where most of my family is from.
Any internships? Where?
With the education program, I do the field experiences every semester.
Do you have any unusual interests and/or talents?
A weird "talent," sort of, is that I've been able to recite the first 33 digits of pi since I was 13, if that counts.
Best advice you've received from a coach or teammate?
When my coach says, "Just run your race. Don't worry about other people." That really sticks out in my mind a lot while I'm running. If I see someone that I'm usually running with and they are far ahead of me, that doesn't mean that I'm having a bad day, it might just mean that they're having a really good day. Or if that person is behind me, it doesn't mean that I'm going too fast and need to slow down, it just means that I'm feeling good. So I don't try to worry about the other runners around me but go off on how I feel.

This collection of essays contextualizes the history and current state of the social science method in the study of the Hebrew Bible. Part 1 traces the rise of social science criticism by reprinting classic essays on the topic; Part 2 provides "case studies," examples of application of the methods to biblical studies.
One of Max Weber's contemporaries described him as 'a child of the Enlightenment born too late' whose work is a 'vitriolic attack on religion'. Subsequent Weber scholarship has largely affirmed this valuation of Weber and characterized his scholarship as a manifestation of the very disenchantment that Weber describes. In The Postmodern Significance of Max Weber's Legacy , Basit Koshul challenges this idea by showing Weber to be a postmodern thinker far ahead of his time.


Oh man, this week's new releases are all kind of not-very-good, and we still have two weeks to go before Avengers: Age of Ultron. It's a tough week for cinema folks, maybe use this opportunity to catch up on last week's big releases if you haven't seen them yet.
BLACK OR WHITE is the story of a grandfather who is suddenly left to care for his beloved granddaughter. When her paternal grandmother seeks custody with the help of her brother, the little girl is torn between two families who love her deeply. With the best intentions at heart, both families fight for what they feel is right and are soon forced to confront their true feelings about race, forgiveness, and understanding.
While its heart might be in the right place, Black or White does little to escape being clichéd and unsubtle. Even considering the fact that interracial politics is always a hot topic, it doesn't really pack much of a punch and ends up raising more questions than it manages to answer, leaving behind an indifferent 37% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Former special-ops agent James Terrier is suddenly targeted by some of the world's best hitmen. Terrier must dig into his top-secret past to figure out who wants him dead, and why.
The Gunman sees Sean Penn does his best to take over from Liam Neeson as the go-to gritty older tough guy action hero. Unfortunately for him, The Gunman falls way short of the mark, with a boring plot, tedious action and worn-out cast, earning a depressing 13% on Rotten Tomatoes. Oh well, it's not like Taken 3 was any better.
A breathtaking family adventure film about a group of teenagers headed by Sean, Alex, Nathan, and young Connor. They have been trapped in their homes for three years, since an invading force of deadly robots arrived on Earth to study the human race. When the group of friends unexpectedly discovers a way of evading the deadly robots that monitor their every move, they grab it gleefully and head off in search of Sean's missing father.
I don't know how much you're expecting from a low budget British sci-fi kids movie, especially one as unimaginatively named as Robot Overlords, but don't expect too much. It's brisk and decently entertaining but still ends up lacking, even with Ben Kingsley and Gillian Anderson bringing some heavyweight talent. If the plot sounds appealing, then don't let the 58% on Rotten Tomatoes deter you.
SPARE PARTS is a true life story about four Hispanic high school students who form a robotics club under the leadership of their school's newest teacher, Fredi. With no experience, 800 bucks, used car parts and a dream, this rag tag team goes up against the country's reigning robotics champion, MIT. On their journey, they learn not only how to build a robot- they learn to build a bond that will last a lifetime.
Based on a true story? Check. Rag-tag team of underdogs? Check. Inspiring teacher? Check. Feel good camaraderie? Check. High stakes and life lessons? Check, check, check. Spare Parts seems to take its name pretty seriously, assembling a movie from all the bits and pieces of other, better inspirational movies. All in all it's a serviceable movie, but besides for the interesting back-stories of the undocumented Hispanic students and their lives outside the classroom, it's going to play out exactly as you expect.

Do you like the idea of meal prepping, but are worried about it taking too much time or being too complicated? These tips for fast meal prepping will help you get dinners ready in no time! Whether you have been cooking for 30 years or have never cooked before, these meal plans will make dinner easy all week long. My family used to spend so much time in the drive-thru, but now we always know what we are having and it's on the table quick.
Find an hour during your week and use these tips for fast meal prepping to start enjoying dinner as a family!
After grocery shopping, go ahead and get the meat into bags. I like to use a sharpie to label each bag with the name of the meal and the meat sell by date. If you do have to end up putting something in the freezer later on, you will appreciate it being labelled. How many of you have found a meal in the freezer and had no idea what it was? Been there, done that!
Separating the meat into bags when you get home from the store will save you some time on prep day. You also won't have to worry about cross-contamination and washing your hands in between every meal if you prep the meat all at once.
When it is prepping day, start by setting out all of the ingredients for every recipe. One extra tip for fast meal prepping: When I get home from grocery shopping, I like to go ahead and put any prep day ingredients I bought in baskets. I have one for pantry items and one that goes into the fridge for cold items. This just saves me a few extra minutes because I am not dragging it back out again.
Go down the list of prep day ingredients for each recipe you are prepping and set it out so you are not having to go back and forth between the pantry and fridge. This really will make prepping go faster!
Even if you have a small prep space, you can still make this work with a little creativity. I put a large cookie sheet over one side of my sink to create extra countertop space. Get creative!
One more time saver: go ahead and open all cans, spices, and packages before you get going!
I keep a prep caddy on my countertop that has all of the prep tools I use from week to week. That way I don't have to get out my prep tools each time.
Before you start prepping, fill one side of your sink with hot, soapy water. After you dirty a dish or utensil, throw it in that sink. This will just make clean up go even faster when you are done!
For faster meal prep and clean up, grab a large bowl and line with a plastic sack to use for trash can as you go along. You would be surprised how much time can add up with trips back and forth to your trash can!
6. Turn up the music and get prepping!
Now that all everything is set out, you are ready to prep! This is the fun part! For the 5 dinners recipes, follow the right column on the recipe where it says "Assembly directions". Turn on some music and have fun with it! If you have kids, get them in the kitchen and let them help! These meal plans really do make it easy for children to help, and they will love shaking up the bags once everything is added!
When you are done prepping, store the meals in the fridge. Many people like to store the bags in the meat drawer so they don't take up extra room.
Follow those tips for fast meal prepping and it will be a breeze! Every time you open your refrigerator, you will feel so good knowing dinner is ready to be cooked!
