CES 2018 officially opened its doors today and we were inside.
As you can imagine, with circa 4000 exhibitors there is a LOT to see and much ground to cover (we are talking multiple locations across Las Vegas- I have smashed my 10,000 steps today). Today I visited the Convention Centre (where the bulk of exhibitors are located) and Eureka Park (where the start-ups are mostly based). I always get especially excited about Eureka Park because it gives fledgling companies a platform to show-off their weird and wonderful gadgets. So speaking of gadgets – here are the devices that caught my eye today.
Shape Scale – this is a body scanner that assesses your body in under a minute and creates a virtual replica of your body on an App – highlighting where you store fat and muscle and giving precise measurements. As your body changes – your progress is highly visible on the App (even if you can't detect it with your own eyes) – super motivating if you have body-changing goals in mind.
Foldimate – say goodbye to folding your clothes as Foldimate will do it all for you. Feed your clothes into the machine (basically like a fax) and then it will gently place your clothes in a folded pile.
Smart Mirror – a mirror that has a secret sensor to detect when you are in front of it. When you are checking out your reflection it will also display customised information of your choosing – like the weather, your social media alerts. You can fully customise what alerts to display and when you want to see them on the accompanying app.
ITRI showcased its clever robotics offering with a scrabble competition against 2017's North American Scrabble Champ – Will Anderson. It showed-off the robot's vision system and machine learning – and was great fun to watch.
Other lovely bits of tech worth mentioning include the Garmin Forerunner 645 Music (a GPS running watch with integrated music and Garmin Pay contactless payments) and the collaboration between Monster and Volkswagen in Concept R (a sporty wagon outfitted with Pure Monster Sound).
Oh and I also managed to squeeze in a tech chat with the lovely Greg Milam from Sky News – you can see that on Thursday on Sky's Swipe. A busy day indeed – more tomorrow.

2018 In Film Part 1: The Bad
Okay, the title is oversimplifying it a lot. These are just films I didn't like, some aren't necessarily bad, but were more a victim of hype. There's going to be a few (and I can guess which ones) which a lot of people will disagree with, but taste is subjective so here goes, if you disagree, let us know with which ones. How I chose what to go in this was simple: these are the films that even if they were on tv and I had nothing to watch, I'd unplug my television and leave the house just so I don't accidentally watch it. Oh, and there's plenty of spoilers, so, be wary of that. In alphabetical order because, well how the darn else would I do it?
I see what they were trying to do. But it didn't really work for me. The script really let it down, as did the directing. If this was a made-for-tv movie it would have been fine, but it really lacked the finesse needed for a wide cinematic release. If I didn't have a list, I would have completely forgot I saw this film, it left no impression on me.
+Gabrielle Union is fantastic in it.
-It looks flat and dull. Everything looks simple. Potential for stand-out scenes, ones which really stick with you, this potential is not lived up to.
Have you seen a Liam Neeson film? Then you've seen this. Really standard fare with nothing new to it.
+It does what it does well.
-But you've seen it all before.
The Darkest Minds
Similar to The Commuter. Nothing here hasn't been done before, and done better. I was especially disappointed by it because when I first saw the trailer I thought it was some kind of X-Men body horror film, and not only was it not that, it was this. Incredibly bland, the kind of film you forget about very quickly after leaving the cinema. The best YA movie of 2000's (just a shame it came out in 2018).
+The intended audience will probably love it.
-A romance story where the romance doesn't really work
Oh dear this was a mess. Way too long, It doesn't make the most of the concept. Every single choice the story takes seems to be the wrong one, and we end up following possibly the most bland character in the movie. It has a lot of potential and briefly flirts with great ideas; the idea that a government is forcibly shrinking dissidents for example is a dream for a dystopian nightmare. In this, it's used to cause a romance plot.
+Hong Chau. Everything about her, her performance, her character, everything about it is fantastic. Shame she's not the main character as her story is much better than the one we actually got.
-So much wasted potential.
Although it does win the award for "most random appearance from a cast member of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend"
Did you like the first one? Then you probably won't like this tbh. You know how sometimes a film is really successful and becomes a franchise? Each film seems progressively less like the ethos of the original, and then by the fifth one it seems to just have a slight essence of the original. Like the characters are there, but the motivations are completely different and make no sense. That's what this one is like, like the 4th sequel to a film.
+The sound editing. Weird thing to praise but just like the first one, it's superb in that department.
-Waaaaay too many sub-plots.
This film could be on netflix right now, in fact it probably is. I wouldn't know as I hope to never ever see it again. Everything about it seems like it was made in the 90s. It had no nuance, no cleverness, really nothing to recommend.
+Katie Aselton's character shares a great scene with Ed Helms, full of warmth and joy and cosiness.
-Completely pointless. I can't imagine it being someones life ambition to make this.
The Happytime Murders
Oh dear. I really wanted to like this. It looked like it would be funny, subversive, and incredibly different to anything else. It's none of those things. The jokes are all waaaaay too obvious, and most of them aren't even really relevant to the film, they could be put in almost any cop film. It doesn't do enough with the premise. And I don't say this often, but this film would have been much better as a musical.
+Some very funny moments.
-Nowhere near enough, and the rest of the jokes are very "first draft" ones which should have been improved. Note to the writers; just having puppets either say "fuck" or do fucks, doesn't equal a joke.
Yup, this film existed this year. It has naked Jennifer Lawrence, was released this year, yet when was the last time you heard it being talked about? There's a reason for that, it's painfully dull with a script that is not as clever as it thinks it is, or as it needs to be for this genre. The dialogue is the the epitome of "telling, not showing" and despite it being over 2 hours long, barely anything about it will stay with you.
+An effective throwback to a genre that doesn't really exist any more
-For good reason.
The Secret Of Marrowbone
A film so bland I actually skipped past it in the list. A mess of genres which didn't work at all, and had way too many twists. Having just one of them would have made it a much better film
+Some good ideas. And one of the twists is really good.
-Uneven in terms of genre. Has no idea what type of film it is.
I read reviews of this before I saw it, calling it one of the worst horror films they've seen in a while. "surely it can't be that bad?" I thought, wrongly. Nothing about it works, it's too sanitised, too poorly scripted, and you don't give a shit about the characters. The same mistakes a lot of bad modern horror films make, really.
+REALLY good performances. Like, REALLY good.
-That ending.
This is a film a lot of people will fall in love with. It just wasn't for me. The characters didn't appeal to me (and in some cases actively annoyed me), there were too many moments which seemingly were there to pad out the plot, and the ending will either entrance you or annoy me, it annoyed me.
+Some of the dialogue is very funny.
-"that person is a figment of your imagination" endings just make me annoyed.
Wanted to like this, I love Helen Mirren (as everybody does). It was just really boring though. Too many scenes which weren't needed, and the scares were repetitive and stopped being effective the third time they did the same one.
+FANTASTIC premise. Deserving of a much better film.
-Doesn't make the most of the premise. Entirely forgettable.
Marrowbone (2018)
On July 30, 2018 July 30, 2018 By troubledproductionsIn ReviewLeave a comment
My cinematic history is full of films I knew nothing about but enjoyed immensely; Bogowie, Table 19, The Last Word. This was not one of those. It was a mess, and not even a hot mess. It has potential but never realises it and is too flawed to be recommended.
For starters; it doesn't seem to know what kind of film it is. It's shot like a horror movie, written like a drama, and paced like a thriller. It's both all of these things and yet none of them. There's nothing scary in it to warrant it being deemed a horror movie, the characters aren't defined well enough to call it a drama, and the stakes aren't enough to call it a thriller.
It also has too many twists, by which I mean it has more than one. It turns out that the "ghost" (that is referenced to about 3 times in the film) is actually their dad, who they locked in the attic after he tried to kill them, surviving for years on rats etc. THAT should be the main twist, it kicks off the third act. The other twist? All the other family members (apart from the main character) are now dead and he's been imagining them to deal with guilt. That was too much. It overegged the pudding and didn't really add anything. It also came after/was attached to, a terrible scene. It was with a scene that was the main character being chased by his dad, written as a scene full of tension of whether he's about to survive. One issue: it's a flashback. You can't add "OMG is he going to survive?" scene in a flashback, unless it's REALLY good, and this wasn't. It felt like it was supposed to be at the start, it would have made sense then. That kind of sums up this film; bad choices were made somewhere that ended up harming the final product. It's a shame as everybody involved in this is better than this. The writer/director also wrote The Impossible, which was incredibly brutal and interesting to watch.
I feel that somewhere, if this went through a few more rewrites it could have been interesting. It just needed a bit more care and it would have worked.

Smaller employers beware: IRS doesn't want paper ACA filings next year (or paper W-2 and similar filings, for that matter)
by Ed Fensholt | August 3, 2021 | Benefits Administration, Compliance Services, Health Reform, Reporting and Disclosure | 0 comments
Start lining up a payroll and/or ACA reporting vendor now
The IRS has proposed two significant changes to electronic filing requirements for various information returns including not just the Forms 1094-C and 1095-C filings required of many employers by the Affordable Care Act (ACA), but common payee statements like Forms W-2 and 1099. If the proposed changes are finalized – we expect that to happen by this autumn – all but the very smallest employers will be required to file these forms electronically for filing due dates falling in 2022 and beyond. Employers wishing to engage an ACA reporting and/or payroll vendor to comply with electronic filings requirements will need to begin contracting with a vendor in the coming weeks.
Background: ACA filings and electronic media
Under current e-filing rules, an employer subject to the ACA's employer mandate is not required to file its Forms 1094-C and 1095-C electronically unless the employer is submitting at least 250 of the forms to the IRS. When determining whether the employer crosses the 250-return threshold, the employer separately counts the different returns it files, such as its Forms 1094-C and 1095-C, and even payee statements like Forms W-2, 1099, etc.
For example, an employer with 150 ACA full-time employees and 50 part-time employees over the course of the calendar year may be required to file 200 Forms W-2, 150 Forms 1095-C and one Form 1094-C, but because the employer is not filing at least 250 of the same form, the employer is not required to file any of the forms electronically.
The proposed rule: Nearly every employer would be in the e-filing boat
The new IRS proposal would drop the 250-return threshold to 100 for returns due in 2022 (and to 10 for returns due in 2023 or later years), and, most significantly, would require employers to aggregate the number of different returns it files when determining whether the 250-return threshold is reached. In the example above, for returns due in 2022, the employer would aggregate the 200 Forms W-2, 150 Forms 1095-C and the one Form 1094-C, for a total of 351 returns. Because the aggregated total of returns due from the employer is at least 250, all the returns must be filed electronically.
Lining up an ACA (and perhaps payroll) reporting vendor
Many employers that until now have filed their Forms 1094-C/1095-C, W-2, 1099, etc. on paper will be required – assuming the IRS shortly finalizes the newly proposed regulations – to submit those forms to the IRS electronically for filings due in 2022. Almost all employers will be required to e-file by 2023. For employers wishing to engage a vendor to conduct electronic filing – particularly those for whom the e-filing status quo will change next year – the search for an e-filing vendor should begin quickly.

Samsung is facing a class-action lawsuit from disgruntled Galaxy Note 7 owners. This lawsuit, which is focused on Samsung's handling of the Galaxy Note 7 recall, is the first filed over the issue, but it's unlikely to be the last.
Three former Galaxy Note 7 users have filed a potential class-action lawsuit against Samsung. Their complaint centers on the delay between Samsung recalling the handset and actually offering replacements. In early September, Samsung and the CPSC told users to power down their devices Samsung: Power Down Your Galaxy Note 7 Immediately Samsung: Power Down Your Galaxy Note 7 Immediately The Galaxy Note 7 is done. Game Over. Samsung has admitted as much, telling owners to power down and stop using their devices. Please heed this advice. Please. Read More and exchange them for alternatives.
The complainants argue that they were then left with a stark choice between swapping their Galaxy Note 7 for an inferior alternative such as the Galaxy S7, or making do without a phone completely. All the while continuing to "incur monthly device and plan charges associated with their Note7s".
This last part is the crux of the matter. Rich McCune, one of the lawyers involved in this lawsuit, explained to Motherboard that the plaintiffs want compensation for the money lost during this interim period. So it's all about "economic injuries" rather than actual damage to person or property.
We now know even the exchange program didn't turn out the way Samsung had hoped. And some replacement handsets also overheated. This eventually led to Samsung killing the Galaxy Note 7 Samsung Kills the Galaxy Note 7, Because Boom! Samsung Kills the Galaxy Note 7, Because Boom! If you're currently in possession of a Galaxy Note 7, then you may soon be holding a very rare item in your hands. This is because Samsung could be planning to kill it off entirely. Read More entirely, and asking everyone to hand their hot bricks in at their earliest convenience.
Samsung has yet to comment on this lawsuit, and a judge will need to approve it before it proceeds to court. In the meantime there are bound to be more people preparing more lawsuits against Samsung. Especially in the overly-litigious United States.
One thing that may count against lawsuits of this nature is the amount of people choosing to keep hold of their Galaxy Note 7 handsets. Despite repeated requests to swap the device for a safer alternative Dump Your Samsung Galaxy Note 7 for Something Less Dangerous Dump Your Samsung Galaxy Note 7 for Something Less Dangerous All four major US carriers are now letting their customers dump the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. Customers can exchange their device for a less dangerous alternative. Read More , some people are sticking with their first choice of phone despite the risk of it exploding in their face. Perhaps Samsung should sue them for being idiots.
Did you own a Galaxy Note 7? Do you still own a Galaxy Note 7? What do you think of this potential class-action lawsuit? Do you think Samsung is culpable for what happened with the exploding batteries? Please let us know in the comments below!

I want to sue samsung. I have the note 7. I exchange my first note 7 for a replacement note 7 when the first recalled. Since I purchase the phone from samsung I had to go through them for the exchange. I never say the $25 credit they promised. Now I'm trying to exchange the 2nd note 7. Put in the order through samsung after they called and emailed me about exchanging the phone. I choose the s7 edge. I called 3 days to check the statues. Samsung tells me it will be weeks before they send the phone and that Im unable to request the refund since I already agreed to exchange the phone. Now they have blocked these note 7 where you can not charge them higher the 59%. This phone heats up. Im scared to use it. But I have no choice. My phone is my job. Im a realtor. Then on top of that samsung charged me $962 including tax for the note 7. The edge is only 780. They are only offering 25 credit back. I found this out from a email they sent me after I agreed to exchange. So I will be out of $182. Thats stealing from there customers. This will be the last samsung product we buy.
I think it's a frivilous lawsuit. The period in question the carriers made this whole process (surprisingly) easy to swap out for a temporary device. I had both phones - I preodered and had the original phone on release day, turned it in the day after the first recall and swapped for a S7 Edge, then swapped back to the Note7 the first day they had the replacement devices. Neither of the devices I had even got warm outside of the initial setup sync, which is largely to be expected.
I think Samsung handled this exactly as well as they could have. They issued a manufactorer recall, and consumers chose to ignore it. 40% it seems, chose to ignore the recall. Then carriers made it stupid simple and cost-free to swap out phones (I had 4 phones in the period of a month and ended up paying less on my bill) . During this time for the swap out, AT&T and Samsung both reached out to me multiple times via text and email to swap my device.
Same thing with the second recall. These are just people hoping to make a quick buck because of their own negligence. There are likely a few legitimate cases where Samsung could potentially be liable, but the rest is totally on the consumer and the decisions they made.
I honestly don't see any class-action getting anywhere with this.
> Perhaps Samsung should sue them for being idiots.
Perhaps you shouldn't write articles about the people you don't understand.
No, I agree with his statement here -- as someone who had both the original Note7 and the replacement Note7. There was literally no loss of service for me at any point that would indicate any monetary damages. This purely an opportunitistic lawsuit hoping to cash in on a failed product launch.

Il New York Yacht Club è il più prestigioso yacht club statunitense.
Venne fondato il 30 luglio 1844 da John Cox Stevens e altri otto cittadini di New York.
Attualmente conta oltre 3000 membri.

Il guidone del Club venne adottato nel 1845. Si tratta di una croce rossa con una stella bianca centrale, su fondo blu.

Storia

Il New York Yacht Club fu fondato nel 1844 da nove esponenti della buona società cittadina. John Cox Stevens fu eletto commodoro del Club.
Le acque di Newport furono il campo di regata del circolo sin dalle origini. Infatti, il giorno in cui il club fu fondato i soci decisero di navigare dalla Battery a Newport.

Nel 1851 un "sindacato" di appassionati membri del circolo costruì lo schooner America e lo condusse alla vittoria nella regata annuale del Royal Yacht Squadron, conquistando la "coppa delle cento ghinee".
Nel 1857 l'ambito trofeo fu donato al NYYC per servire da premio in una competizione fra nazioni. La America's Cup, così chiamata dalla prima vincitrice, ha un ruolo importante nella storia del Club, che l'ha detenuta fino al 1983.

Nel 1865 il Club si è trasformato in società per azioni ed ha preso il motto: "Nos agimur tumidis velis" ("andiamo a gonfie vele").
In quest'epoca avvenne un importante cambio generazionale: si passò da una "vecchia guardia" alla nuova generazione di proprietari di panfili capitanati da skipper professionisti.

Il 1866 è ricordato negli annali del circolo per la leggendaria Transatlantic Race.  Tre schooners di membri del club, l'Henrietta, il Fleetwing e il Vesta, gareggiarono da Sandy Hook a The Needles, nell'Isola di Wight.  L'Henrietta, di proprietà del ventunenne James Gordon Bennett Jr., vinse la gara in 13 giorni, 21 ore e 55 minuti.

Accanto alle imbarcazioni a vela, a partire dalla metà dell'Ottocento i soci del club si fecero costruire yachts a vapore, sempre più grandi e lussuosi: il North Star di Cornelius Vanderbilt;  il Namouna e il Lysistrata di James Gordon Bennett jr.; i tre yachts, tutti chiamati Corsair, di John Pierpont Morgan; il Margarita del banchiere Anthony Joseph Drexel;  l'Ara di William Kissam Vanderbilt; il Savarona III dell'ereditiera Emily Roebling Cadwalader.

Sede
La prima sede del club fu un edificio a Hoboken, New Jersey, su un terreno donato dal presidente Stevens. Successivamente, dopo alcuni spostamenti, venne aperta nel 1901 la sede attuale. Si tratta di un edificio al 37 West nella 44th Street di Manhattan, progettato da Warren and Wetmore, architetti della Grand Central Terminal.

Oltre alla sede centrale di Manhattan, il club ha aperto nel 1988 l'Harbour Court, una clubhouse sulle acque di Newport.

Eventi sportivi
Il New York Yacht Club ha organizzato diversi eventi e regate a livello internazionale, la più famosa è l'America's Cup.

America's Cup
La competizione ebbe origine il 22 agosto 1851 quando il Royal Yacht Squadron britannico con 14 imbarcazioni sfidò il New York Yacht Club, che decise di partecipare con lo schooner 'America', in un percorso attorno all'Isola di Wight. America vinse con 8 minuti di distacco sulla seconda barca, la britannica Aurora, aggiudicandosi la coppa che era stata messa in palio per celebrare la prima esposizione universale di Londra.

Il New York Yacht Club riuscì però a rimanere imbattuto per 25 sfide nell'arco di 132 anni, la più lunga serie vincente nella storia dello sport. Le regate si tennero nelle vicinanze del porto di New York fino al 1930, quindi si spostarono al largo di Newport per il resto del periodo in cui il NYYC detenne il trofeo.

L'America's Cup venne persa nel 1983, quando Australia II, in rappresentanza del Royal Perth Yacht Club, sconfisse Liberty di Dennis Conner.

Dalla perdita dell'America's Cup, il club ha iniziato a organizzare altri importanti eventi internazionali.
Nel 2002 ha ospitato la Intercollegiate Sailing Association Sloop North American Championships; nel 2006 la Blind Sailing World Championships.

Nel 2021 tentò nuovamente la sfida all'America's Cup sotto il nome di NNYC American Magic, ma venne eliminato nelle semifinali della Prada Cup.

In a game characterized by quick feet and precise passing, the Boston University women's lacrosse team notched its second straight win and its second Patriot League win with a 19-7 victory over American University.
Both conference victories for the Terriers (5-6, 2-3 Patriot League) have come with the opposing teams' scoring kept in single digits, a testament to the team's defense that minimized American's (3-9, 0-4 Patriot League) shots on goal to 15.
A steady stick in draw controls also helped keep the ball in possession for the Terriers as the team went 20-for-27 at the draw, with junior midfielder Kaitlin Belval and junior defender Tonianne Magnelli winning seven each.
The wins reflect a consistency in scoring and control that BU head coach Liz Robertshaw wanted from her team.
BU's offensive prowess, built onto its previous 20-goal game against Harvard University, saw 10 players contribute to the final score, half of them putting up a multi-goal game.
Freshman attack Ava Barry and senior attack and co-captain Avery Donahoe earned four goals apiece.
Among her five-point day, Donahoe notched her 100th career point as a Terrier. The Alexandria, Virginia native leads BU with 27 goals this season, building on a career-total of 78 goals and 25 assists.
It was also the second consecutive hat trick for Barry, who played a dominant game that ended with seven points, two caused turnovers and a ground ball.
Donahoe opened the scoring Saturday afternoon 24 seconds into the contest by muscling around an Eagles defender and getting off a quick shot to the bottom corner of the net.
Donahoe started off what would become a 5-0 run for BU through the first 11 minutes of play, including three goals within 42 seconds.
Following back-to-back goals from BU and American, Eagles midfielders freshman Emma Vinall and sophomore Casey Harkins rattled off two consecutive goals, and American was beginning to creep back into the game with the score at 6-3.
Robertshaw called a timeout, during which she said she called on her team to refocus.
The Terriers then went on a six-goal unanswered streak opened by freshman midfielder Ryann Gaffney's second tally of the game after freshman defender Nicole Foringer's cut pass found her in front of the net.
Barry picked up her first two goals within the streak, both assisted by Conry.
Conry, who leads the BU in assists with 33 and is tied for sixth in the NCAA with 2.7 assists per game, added to her 13-point night last Wednesday and earned six assists.
By the end of the first half, BU had taken a 13-4 lead.
Donahoe again found the back of the net less than a minute into the second half for her fourth goal of the day.
Midfielders senior Caroline English and sophomore Lexi Lewis each picked up their second tallies before American's sophomore midfielder Amanda Medjid put a free-position shot into the Terrier net.
Barry and freshman attack Makenzie Irvine exchanged goals and assists to the close the books for the Terriers, leaving Jacobs Field with a 19-7 win.
BU will return to Nickerson Field next Wednesday to face the University of New Hampshire, where Robertshaw said she hopes her team maintains its current level of play.


That doesn't sound like most people's cup of tea, but artist and instructor Holly Wheatcroft was ecstatic when she found this 1920s-era home to share with her two daughters. Although it wasn't much to look at, the right bones made this 1,500-square-foot charmer perfect for her family. "We are two blocks away from a fabulous school with an attached community center, ice rink and soccer fields. The neighborhood is very special," Holly says of their community in Toronto, Ontario.
The renovation process proved to be quite time-consuming with walls and fireplaces coming down, new floors being installed and painting galore, happening all over the 3-bedroom home. Holly's uncle even moved in to help with the project. The garage was flipped into an art studio for Holly while the kitchen was totally gutted in order to open it up to the living and dining area. "I wanted to have a space on the first floor where everyone could be doing their own thing, but still be close by… that sense of being connected without having to be in the same room," Holly explains. One night while cooking dinner she realized she had achieved just that. While stirring away at the kitchen stove she laid eyes on her two daughters, both in different rooms lost in tasks, but still so near. The revelation brought her to tears.
The wallpaper between the entryway's Martha-Stewart-green door and the kitchen is Cole & Son "Cow Parsley."
The entryway's cutout to the left looks into the living room. The yellow wall is painted in Farrow & Ball "Yellowcake."
During the renovation, the kitchen was given an entirely new look.
A closeup of the kitchen's nook that Holly's friend Gillian curated.
Holly painted the window's trim black in order to help it pop off of the white walls that surround it. When she brought it home, this school table still had old bubble gum stuck up under it. To prank her girls Claire and Bridget, Holly left it there. She sewed the bench's cushions herself, and the girls' artwork decorates the walls.
Holly wanted a rug but wasn't crazy about the idea of having to clean crumbs and leftovers out of it after meals, so she painted the floor pink. Now all she has to do is a quick sweep. The dining room's lighting is from the Noguchi Museum. The wooden chairs were found on the street, and Holly had a friend "cut them down to make them look more modern," before painting them black.
One of Holly's favorite spots in her newly renovated home is the dining room's "living wall." Wooly pockets hold each plant – a great option that won't rot or ruin the drywall. The eye-catching wall is painted in Benjamin Moore "Naples Blue."
This whole space is much more fluid and accessible now that the back walls have been torn down.
The front hall is decorated with original art by Holly. This piece was inspired by the Axis Mundi – the world's center/connection between Earth and Heaven. The staircase is painted in Farrow & Ball "Strong White."
A little greenery soaks up the rays coming through the landing's original, stained-glass window.
Bridget's room's coral walls peek out into the upstairs landing. The landing's light fixture was found at a shop on Toronto's Queen Street and is adorned with a hand-painted compass.
Holly's master bedroom may be small, but it gets beautiful light and looks out over the street. The bed frame is from West Elm, and the side table was picked up at CB2. The bedroom's lamps are from Lotte, and the bed linens are from Crate and Barrel.
Holly made these curtains with fabric she snagged from Designer Fabrics.
The living room is "the coziest spot in the house. [The whole family loves] curling up on this small loveseat." The watercolor by Aba Bayefsky is of a Japanese man's tattooed back. The loveseat is from INabstracto.
A Virginia Johnson urn sits on the living room's table. The wooden cake was part of an art series where Holly hid "various treasures in wooden cake pieces and displayed each slice on a wooden shelf in the shape of half a plate." She was "inspired by the tradition of Gateau des Rois where if you get the slice of cake with the figurine/treat/piece of money, then you have good luck all year."
The living room's side table is decorated with vintage finds. According to the shop owner who sold Holly the mirror, it's done in a particular folk-art, carving style done by inmates. The small painting is by Holly herself.
This home feels real and lived in and well loved. Your tours are great because they don't feel styled and curated within an inch of their life (and I do appreciate that there's some styling involved for the photos!).
I love the pops of color along with the white to keep it from being overwhelming. Gorgeous and inviting home, thanks for the peek inside!
What a lovely, happy space. The pops of color give it such a sense of fun. It's clear there's a lot of joy in this home.
It would be great to know more about the living wall. How do you protect the wall from damp, and is it possible to do yourself? I always thought they were very high maintenance!
It was a bit of work to get started, but most of the plants are of the indoor tropical variety, so low maintenance. Watering once a week is usually enough (all depending on the location and amount of sunlight – indirect is best). I moved the entire wall from home to new shop and after 8 months, my drywall and paint are both perfectly fine. You would never know! I used Woolly Pockets (large felt ones in brown).
Thanks :) It looks amazing!
Lovely home, and the painted "rug" is just genius!
I agree, Elle. I saw that and thought "Why didn't I think of that?!" So clever and beautiful.
Simply lovely and cosy, Holly.
I am buying a home and dream about making every space reflect us. I love the living wall. Please help / guide me to make one for my home too. Please please please.


Take an enchanting night tour through Bangkok's Chinatown district, one of the most historically rich and culturally vibrant parts of the city.
Avid shoppers will be overwhelmed by options, as this tour takes you through a leather and plastic quarter, a flower and vegetable.
Peruse an extensive array of clothes, shoes, accessories and antiques, where you'll surely find something to remember your trip by.
Sip coffee at a café that's served customers in need of a boost for over a century, and enjoy a dinner of sumptuous grilled seafood from an authentic street stall.
Lobby of Nouvo City Hotel, 2 Samsen Rd, Soi 2, Pranakorn, Bangkok.
Embark on food adventure in this Bangkok Chinatown Food Discovery Tour.
Step back in time with a visit to the old markets in Yaowarat, in the heart of Bangkok's vibrant Chinatown district. The founders of the district were Chinese traders who came to Bangkok village when it was the capital of Siam, making the community virtually as old as the city itself.
The land where the Grand Palace now stands once belonged to the traders, but when King Rama I moved the capital from Ayuthaya to Bangkok some 200 years ago, the community was asked to resettle in its current location.
Transfer to the Ratchawong Pier on the Chao Praya River. Walk along the pier to Song Wat Road, which is bordered by old business buildings and warehouses, most of which are still operating today. Emerge in the plastic and leather quarter on Yaowa Phanit Road, where you can shop for all kinds of low-price keepsakes.
Your next stop is a 100-year old coffee shop on Pha Sai Road, where you can enjoy a coffee and a snack while you soak up the electric atmosphere of the surroundings.
Rejuvenated, continue to Issarnuparb Road and visit a market that specializes in Chinese religious products alongside fresh food from land and sea. In the evenings, Yaowaraj Road becomes a sea of street stalls, effectively forming one expansive food bazaar. The culinary options range from street stalls to the finest Chinese restaurants. Take a seat with your guide and try some charcoal-grilled seafood from a street stall.
The final stop of the night is at Talat Pak Khlong, the largest wholesale flower and vegetable market in Bangkok. The flowers of Talat Pak Khlong acquire a special beauty under night's golden lamps.
You are free to continue exploring the area at tour's end or your guide will assist you in getting a taxi back to your hotel (payable direct).
Saphan Phut market has been closed by the Thailand Government until further notice.
Please ensure your knees and shoulders are covered as this walking tour may visit religious sites. Children under 6 years of age are not permitted.

The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens continues to celebrate the centennial of the U.S. National Park Service in the second of two consecutive exhibitions that focus on the critical role that national parks have played in the history of the United States. "Geographies of Wonder: Evolution of the National Park Idea, 1933–2016" depicts the unceasing public enthusiasm for national park spaces, as well as the steady pace of change in the concept of a "national park" that grew to include national lakeshores and seashores, wild and scenic rivers, battlefields, industrial sites, parkways, and trails.
Drawing on nearly 100 items gathered from The Huntington's library holdings, various private collections, "Geographies of Wonder: Evolution of the National Park Idea" will include maps, advertisements, illustrated guide books, travel narratives, promotional brochures, scientific surveys, reports, and correspondence that will highlight the experiences of visitors to the parks and the many—sometimes conflicting—visions of national parks that have taken shape over the past 80 years.
Among the most indelible images in the exhibition is a view of the Grand Canyon and Colorado River from its southern rim, as depicted in 1911 by William R. Leigh for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Co., which promoted tourist travel throughout the Southwest. Leigh's image, used by the Santa Fe Railway for various promotional purposes, aptly captures the canyon's scenic magnificence, which many Americans equated with a unique national identity. In subsequent decades, however, popular understanding of the park's significance has shifted as Americans have gained a deeper understanding of the intricate ecologies of the natural world. The presence on the Colorado River of structures such as Glen Canyon Dam have changed the river by altering the temperature of the water, its peak flows, and the flora and fauna that can survive along its banks.
The Huntington is located at 1151 Oxford Rd., San Marino, Calif., 12 miles from downtown Los Angeles. It is open to the public Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from noon to 4:30 p.m.; and Saturday, Sunday, and Monday holidays from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Summer hours (Memorial Day through Labor Day) are 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Closed Tuesdays and major holidays. Information: 626-405-2100 or huntington.org.

Love Learning for Life at Ranworth!
Our school councillors are also members of Liverpool Schools Parliament and they attend termly meetings in the Town Hall. This provides an opportunity to inform opinions and give viewpoints concerning issues that affect the citizens of our city, eg bus passes, leisure centre fees – this is very much a children's forum where children's voice is listened to.
We would also like to encourage parents to add any issues or discussion points to the School Council agenda if they have anything that needs discussing.
The School Council have noticed that many of us have fizzy drinks in our packed lunches.
To help promote a healthy school and lunch the Council have decided to sell bottled water at lunchtime for 50p a bottle.

Freuds assists Nobel winner
December 17, 2010 by Nicki Wicks
Freud Communications is providing pro-bono PR support for imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo and the ongoing campaign to release the Chinese dissident.
The agency is helping with comms for the 54-year-old activist, who was sentenced to 11 years in prison last year for subversion. He was honoured by the Nobel Committee at a ceremony in Oslo last week 'for his long and non-violent struggle for fundamental human rights in China'.
The decision to give the Peace Prize to Xiaobo sparked fury in China, where authorities have accused the Norwegian awards committee of being 'criminal' and warned that it would damage relations between the two countries.
Freuds has been working alongside Freedom Now, a US-based non-profit, non-governmental organisation that is representing Xiaobo and his wife Liu Xia, who has been placed under house arrest in China.
Freedom Now works to free individual prisoners of conscience through legal, political and public relations advocacy efforts.
The work, which began during the build-up to last week's award ceremony, will continue on an ongoing basis.
'We are still putting people together with Freedom Now as the reverberations and results of what happened last week continue,' said Freuds' Toby Burnham, who headed the project.
Freuds provided Freedom Now with a full media outreach strategy and ground support in Oslo to engage the 400-strong press corp - a larger number of journalists than when Barack Obama won the same award last year.
The agency supported and encouraged the symbolic positioning of an empty chair at the ceremony.
'That was obviously a highly significant image and we knew it would be the image that would resonate around the world,' said Burnham.
The media attention following the ceremony has increased pressure on China to release Xiaobo and his wife, including a plea from Obama.


"Today is History and Tomorrow is a Mystery" This next year I am looking forward to making a name for myself in a very tough Industry. Making music is not for everyone, you have to be passionate about it. Music Industry doesn't care about how good you are, you can still fail if you don't have a clear goal and determination to become a persistent creator.
My name is Levi Armandi and I came onto the music scene literally overnight. I have no previous experience with instruments or sound production. My willingness to become better than average at just about everything is how I came to where I am now. I was a 3 sport All-Star athlete in high school and my competitive nature has driven me to choose music as a way to feel and express myself.
Many have told me that I would never be good at music production, singing, or writing because I have zero experience. That is when I knew that it was ON. So I proceeded to buy a few thousand dollars worth of music production equipment/software. Now here we are today. I couldn't be more pumped up about this music journey that has started! I signed a 3 year contract with Global Music Records out of Belgium. I have multiple song releases that will come out in the next few weeks to the Music Market.
But what challenges do we face as artists??
1. Making music is not for everyone, you've got to be passionate about it.
2. Music Industry doesn't care about how good you are, you can still fail if your not consistent.
3. It costs a lot of money to produce "REAL MUSIC" so get ready to invest on yourself.
My current focus and direction is to become good at a variety of music genres that interest me. I have 8 songs going on right now that are close to being complete. The ultimate goal will be to release an album or singles in every major music genre in order to have more experience in producing different styles. The long term goal is to be known as a Producer/Artist that can work with everyone and every style.
I do not have a specific influence in my music because I never thought earlier in my life I would be in a position to make a splash in the music industry. I was "inspired" by the haters so to speak, proving everyone wrong was my driving factor and influence.
I hope that the songs I release get to the right people so everyone who loves my style can enjoy this music journey along side me.
My songwriting and production style is always started with making a song very simple but with strong synthetic loops. This will be combined with some sort of background bass line. The sound effects and textures are added fast and frantically. I can start and complete some songs that are ready for radio in less than 3 hours. My favorite production tool is the vocal/instrument synthesizers. The plug in I use is a secret because I can't give out the name due to a non-sponsorship with the company.
The song I created from complete scratch was inspired by the fact people fall in love with a person and they may never be able to express that to the other person. That is why I chose to name the song "Electronic Love". The Love will always be sealed into this song, so if you are listening to the song, you are with you're true Love forever.
I live in Jay, Maine currently and spend most of my time playing and coaching Basketball. It has become a year round thing for me. Once a season has ended, I enter a new Basketball league to keep the excitement going. Outside of that, I am a casino runner. I play Black-Jack and Roulette with high success. A lot of income comes from the Casino. I also take online college classes at the University of Presque Isle. I have 4 more classes left for my Bachelors Degree in the Arts.


Sorry for any confusion. To avoid sam – of which there is tons – al comments need to be approved before they appear, That said, I never saw your original post so will try to find out why.

"I dreamt such a dream. A long, never-ending dream."
Filgaia is dying. The deserts expand after the desolation caused by a five hundred year-old catastrophe. Demons made of steel and technology rise again, trying claim this world as their own. The secrets of the past stir, and those who lived them try to manipulate Filgaia's future to serve their own ends. It is a world filled with ruins from past ages, containing secrets to be found, and with those who would use those secrets to shake all existence.
The world of Lunar, orbiting Filgaia, is still abundant and rich in life because of the Goddess Althena's gift. However, the limits of her power have waned, and the Goddess has become withdrawn and cruel. Monsters known as Hellions have risen, and the Goddess' Seraphim cannot stop them alone. The new Dragonmaster has yet to stop this tide, and their world trembles at the rise of a new Lord of Calamity: Lucia, the Destroyer. Beyond Althena's Boundary, rumors come of a people beleaguered by a great monster and the sacrifices expected to defeat it.
Life on both of these worlds is precarious. The tides of war and dangers of the past threaten to shake the foundations of both. Kings, priests, and generals aren't prepared to handle these threats -- or they further them, knowingly and unknowingly.
Dream Chasers MUSH is a Japanese console RPG-themed game, which uses the Wild ARMS series and Xenogears as its thematic core. It also incorporates elements from the Star Ocean series, the Lunar series, the Grandia series, the Megaman Legends series, Trigun, Tales of Zestiria, Final Fantasy X, and Gun x Sword. Other themes may be incorporated to a lesser extent with time. It is focused on themes of exploration, discovering the truth of the past and the self, and ultimately saving the world from existential threats.

Alba Teresa Rojo Cama (28 April 1961 – 16 August 2016) was a Mexican sculptor known for her geometric artworks.

Life
Rojo was born on 28 April 1961 in Mexico City. She was the daughter of artist Vicente Rojo Almazán (1932–2021) and his wife, editor Alba Cama de Rojo (1937–2003), both of whom were originally from Barcelona and became refugees in Mexico from the Spanish Civil War. After high school at Colegio Madrid in Mexico City, she studied mathematics at the National Autonomous University of Mexico from 1981 to 1986, and then worked for the university as a science communicator, before devoting herself to sculpture in the late 1980s.

She died on 16 August 2016 after a three-year battle with cancer.

Works
Her works included
Obelisco rojo (2000), a 3-meter-tall red metal spire installed at the Autonomous University of Coahuila,
Dialogue de bancas (2006), a bench included as part of a joint public art exhibit on Paseo de la Reforma in Mexico City,
Cajas y almejas (2010), a collection of 37 separate sculptures variously made from wood, metal, and cardboard, and

*Cross posted from grooming forum* I have three foster kittens who came to me with fleas. I have bathed them in a herbal wash with eucalyptus meant for treating kittens with fleas (as far as I know it's a bit of a scam, but it's worth a try!) and have been combing them with a flea comb. My own two cats are treated regularly with Advocate. I am concerned about fleas transferring to the carpet. I have bought Exelpet Fleaban House and Carpet spray, but can't find information about it's safety around kittens. The three that I have are about 7 weeks old, and weigh approximately 800 grams each. The bottle also does not say how long a room should be left empty after treatment. Is it safe to put the kittens in the room on the same day as the spray has been used? The active constituents are 5g/L Permethrin 40:60 cis trans, 10g/L Piperonyl Butoxide, 50mg/L Pyriproxyfen. It is suppsed to stop invasion by adult fleas for 3 weeks, and stop eggs from hatching for up to 12 months. I would really appreciate some advice on the safety of this product, as I haven't been able to find any proper information.

Promega Travel Award Blog: An Excursion to Croatia
Posted on January 16, 2018 June 16, 2022 by Promega
Dubrovnik, the Pearl of the Adriatic
We invite you to travel with Bettina Bazzini-Lapin, Scientific Client Specialist, who was awarded a Promega Travel Award for sales performance and used her award to travel to Croatia and Italy. In this blog, she describes her travels.
Croatia is an Eastern European country that sits on the Adriatic Sea directly across from Italy. It has more than one thousand islands, and a third of the country is covered by forest. It is known for its beautiful Dalmatian coast line. One of the main sites for travelers to visit is the coastal city of Dubrovnik, known as the Pearl of the Adriatic. This is where my adventure began.
The first thing you realize is that Dubrovnik's Old Town is actually a fortress with fortified walls built in the 16th century. There is a great wall surrounding the town, originally built for protection both from land and sea. To enter, you actually cross a moat and a drawbridge! The walkways inside are shiny and bright, make of white limestone that has been in place for thousands of years. Visitors are allowed to climb to the top of the top edge of the wall and walk a mile around its perimeter seeing the city from all angles. For me this experience was beautiful and the main attraction. A third well-known aspect of the city is that many scenes for the Game of Thrones series, that so many of us love, are filmed in Croatia. King's Landing specifically is filmed in Dubrovnik.
Red-tiled roofs of the city
A little history: In 1918 after WWI, Croatia joined Serbia and Slovenia forming a kingdom known as Yugoslavia. Post World War II, Yugoslavia became an independent Communist state. In the early '90s, Croatia declared its independence from Yugoslavia kicking off their Homeland war with Serbia, lasting 4 years. One of the things that struck me was the thought of this protected World Heritage site being bombed from land and sea! It caused international outrage in the '90s. One striking thing about Dubrovnik as you walk along the wall are the beautiful orange tile roofs. Although beautiful it represents the rebuilding after the devastation of the war.
Food in Croatia included of charbroiled meats and fish, squid, potatoes, spinach and cuttlefish (the cuttlefish ink makes the entire dish completely black). The region is well known for giant truffles, olives and olive oil, citrus, lavender and wine-due to the Greeks who had settled
Inside Diocletian's Palace
there. I saw olive oil, citrus and lavender products everywhere; wine shops were full of local wines. In fact, Croatia has over 300 distinct wine producing areas. DNA tests have apparently proven that the Zinfandel grape variety originates from Croatia. One word we learned quickly was "pekara" or bakery. They had amazing homemade sweet and savory treats every few blocks.
We drove north and ended up in the metropolitan port town of Split, where we stayed within the walls of Diocletian's Palace. It was built as the retirement palace of Roman emperor, Diocletian. He built this massive palace to house both himself and his soldiers. Over thousands of years, the townspeople slowly took it over, making it an integral part of their everyday city lives. Now regular shops, restaurants and locals live and work in the palace! It was incredible! The most striking location was the breezeway/plaza to Diocletian's sleeping quarters- where in modern day, musicians play their music in a haunting locale and restaurants serve wine to onlookers among Roman ruins and towers. It was stunning…(For the Game of Thrones fans, Split is another filming location, also where Daenerys stored her dragons.)
Krka Falls Croatia
Croatia is also known for its amazing waterfalls and crystal clear water, which were also unforgettable. I've included a few pictures of Krka Falls.
Croatia Fun Facts:
Dalmatians are named for the Dalmatian Coast. (Ironically I never saw one on this trip.)
Museum display of a cravat.
The necktie is from Croatia. The cravat, as it was originally named, originated from Croatian soldiers who wore it to let others know they were mercenaries for the King of France.
Croations invented the first torpedo and the "penkala" or writing pencil, later shortened to "pen".
Your trusty Mag® Lite was invented by a Croatian named Maglica.
Ivan Vucetic, criminologist and anthropologist, was born on the island of Hvar and was the pioneer of dactyloscopy (identification by fingerprints), and his methods are still used today.

Bought a cheap tripod days ago, and I just can't help myself not to try The Milk Splash….
Watched the LCD look ok, but when i transfer this into PC, holly molly, it's missed focus!
I love playing with speed and capturing moments. I don't know whether this photograph is a part of Food Photography or not. And despite the failed, missed focus, the blurry object, the shining props which beat the hero, there's nothing wrong in exploring things, rite?
And oh, if you wonder what did I make when I photograph myself cracked an egg, this is the answer.
Short to short, I've been making this pumpkin cake maybe a dozen. It's moist (thanks to 300 gr pumpkin puree versus only 175 gr flour) and so pumpkin-y! Another must try recipe for anyone whose longing for pumpkin!
Pre heat the oven 180 Celcius. Butter the pan (I used 20 cm diameter pan and 10cm diameter mini pan).
Shift the flour, baking powder and milk powder in a bowl, set aside.
Beat the eggs, sugar and emulsifier until light and fluffy, mix in the flour mixture, followed by the pumpkin puree.
Fold in butter mixture, then pour the batter into prepared pan, bake for 35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
missed focus, have to learn more about manual focus, its darn hard!
Ki, ga pake baking powder tetep ngembang ya cakenya. Mau ah nyoba karena dah mulai musim labu kuning lagi.

This is what I've been thinking about today.
Maybe because this week was the Mid-Autumn Festival, which I first learned about in Hong Kong (around the time I first rode a Hong Kong tram).
Or because I've been talking about Hong Kong with friends this week.
No matter, I never tire of looking at photos like this.
Ooh! That's very nice! You'll have a great time!
Thank you so much! Have a wonderful time in Hong Kong! It will be wonderful and the perfect time of the year to visit!
I am very excited. 🙂 My husband went to Hong Kong in 1997 right before the end of the 99 year contract, and such. He told me it was very crowded. He can't imagine how crowded it is now. :O!
You will love it! I didn't think the crowds were that terrible. I had left in 1998 and only returned last year. The population has grown by a million over the years and the space is still tight. Do you know where you are staying?


In the six months I've been blogging, I documented and shared my experiences networking, going to career fairs, having job interviews, negotiating and accepting an offer, and transitioning into an industry role. All of this happened while I was finishing up experiments, revising publications, and putting together my dissertation in its entirety. Let us not forget personal life balance! – an awesome weeklong vacation, weekend road trip visits to friends, attending a friend's bachelorette party, and moving to a new apartment. It has been an absolute whirlwind, full of fun and challenges, but I'd be lying if I didn't say that I am counting down the seconds until I can exhale after my defense on September 14.
Over the past week or so I went back and re-read my blogs. It is fun, and also a little anxiety-producing, to see how much things have changed. As I re-read the blogs, I think the main theme of what I've wrote about is that you can create your own opportunities! Through proactive strategies, you can and will find opportunities. I've also came up with a list of things that I missed talking about or didn't elaborate on in my writing. I'll leave you with this final list of advice.
Make sure you have an agreed upon timeline with your advisor and committee – I have been very clear with my advisor and my committee for a few years that 2017 was my goal graduation year. Whether it be in May or December was not a concern for me but 2017 was it. As this date approached, we honed in on a summer defense. Luckily, my advisor was on-board with this timeline. I know that is not always the case. If your advisor is not on-board with a specific timeline, try to get a list of experiments or goals that they can agree on. It is so important to outline these things, communicate about them clearly, and make sure they are written down and confirmed from time to time.
Get your name and face out there at career fairs and networking events sooner than later – If you think you're graduating in December, you should already be talking to people and applying to jobs. Even if they pass you up for a role because you aren't available for a few months, they will remember you! I started slowly looking for jobs about 10-11 months ago and then aggressively started networking and applying about 6 months ago. There is no harm in getting out there early. It can only help you! It will make you more comfortable with these types of interactions and could provide you a great opportunity you would otherwise have missed, as in my case. I was able to accept and start my job before my defense, a huge weight has been lifted, and it takes a lot of pressure off of the defense itself.
Don't let the fear and anxiety of change hold you back – After working for five years on retinal tissue engineering, accepting a job in enzyme therapy was SO SCARY! But your dissertation, your area of focus, your lab, your advisor does not define you! You are defined by your ability to learn and adapt, by your work ethic, by your persistence. These are your transferable skills! Through obtaining your graduate degree, you have proved that you are capable of learning and applying knowledge. Don't be scared to leverage that in other fields, outside of your thesis work. And don't forget that when you make a decision to take a specific job, this is not permanent. There will likely be other jobs, in other fields. Think of every job as a stepping-stone – gain a new foundation of knowledge and keep your head up, looking for your next step.
Thank you all for reading about my journey over the past 6 months. It's certainly been an exciting time in my life and I hope you all have learned a little bit from my experiences. Please reach out to me on LinkedIn (network!!!) if you have any questions or need any advice. Don't forget – communicate clearly and be confident in your skills! Good luck with all of your future job hunting!
I enjoyed reading your blog. Really useful tips for job search.


Enjoy your golden years with the right life insurance that protects you, your partner and extended family.
You've worked hard your whole life, increasing your wealth, perhaps raising a family and building a life together in Queensland. With the right life insurance you can help to keep yourselves financially secure as you reach your next stage of life.
Once you retire and your priorities shift, your life insurance needs may change. Whether you have pre-existing medical conditions or you're fit as a fiddle, it's important to protect yourself for any unexpected changes to your wellbeing.
You're likely to have a bit more cash at your disposal as financial pressure eases. You've worked hard and likely made sacrifices to be able to enjoy this time of your life. Now's the time to protect everything you've worked hard for.
With fewer people depending on you financially and your mortgage and other debts repaid; it's normal to think about reducing your cover. Before you do, think about how your nest egg could be impacted if you get sick or injured. When you're planning for retirement it's worth knowing you and your partner will be comfortable financially, no matter what's around the corner.
What steps can you take to help protect yourself as you move into retirement?
If you're under 65, it's worth reviewing your life and income insurance options to find out if they still meet your needs and lifestyle. Don't risk being underinsured. Get the right level of cover and protect what you've worked hard for.
Nobody plans to get injured, but with accident insurance you can help keep you and your partner protected if you suffer an accidental serious injury or death at home, work or on the road. It's just that little extra cover that can help keep your financial plans on track.

Five NFL teams on hand for Bethune-Cookman pro day
DAYTONA BEACH — The NFL Draft is just 34 days away, meaning collegiate pro days — the day draft eligible players get combine-tested at their schools — will be in full swing for the next month.
Locally, Bethune-Cookman held its pro day at Daytona Beach Municipal Stadium on Thursday afternoon, and five NFL teams — including the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Jacksonville Jaguars, New York Giants, Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs — were in attendance.
"This is honestly the biggest interview of their lives," B-CU head coach Terry Sims said. "It's what these guys say they want to do, and if it is what they want to do they have to come out here, put their best foot forward and show these guys what they have."
The Wildcats had three seniors in attendance, including offensive lineman Trevin Huff (6-foot-2, 299 pounds), defensive tackle DeMarcus Womack (6-3, 327) and wide receiver Jamie Wilson (5-10, 207).
Womack, one of the defensive leaders on last year's squad, finished with 17 tackles and a sack, while Wilson caught 21 passes and two touchdowns.
Arguably the area's most sought-after college athlete — Stetson's Donald Payne — was also in attendance.
Payne, a three-time Pioneer League Defensive Player of the Year, wrapped up his illustrious career with 538 tackles, which ranks third all-time in Division I history. He also finished with 14 sacks, seven fumbles, nine interceptions and five touchdowns.
Last season, the defensive back led the Hatters with 114 tackles, three sacks and three blocked kicks.
"They had me at 5-foot-11, 217 pounds, which is what I was looking for," Payne said. "My agent's been talking to some scouts, and they wanted me to come out here so they could see me run and go through some defensive back drills. They liked my film, but wanted to see me in person.
"I tweaked my hamstring a little on the last 40-yard dash, so going through the positional drills was a little tough, but I just tried to work through it. I just need to keep it going."
Officially, Payne was clocked at a 4.51 and 4.56 during his two 40-yard dashes.
Stetson defensive tackle Davion Belk (6-1, 284), who finished his career with 24 sacks, was also in attendance. Two other schools — Central State (Ohio) and Warner University (Lake Wales) — also had athletes on hand for the nearly two-hour event.
"This is for our underclassmen, too," Sims said. "I always encourage them to come out and watch, because a lot of the drills they do out here are the same drills we do. I think there's a lot to be learned, not only athletically, but also personally and professionally.
"These guys are definitely putting on a show."
