Right now it goes only up to a size 18, but Ava James NYC has plans to change how professionals of all sizes shop for work clothes.
After a decade working for one of the largest investment institutions in the world, Eugena Delman faced a personal challenge: continue growing within Goldman Sachs or leave her career behind to pursue an entirely different field. She dwelled on it for six months but eventually decided to go the latter route—no gig lined up, no real plan, just a ticket to go back home to Hong Kong. She would come home a month later, bringing with her an idea for a brand-new fashion company.
This was something that Delman, who usually falls between a size 6 and 8, had never noticed. Growing up in Hong Kong, though, she says she remembers her size always being perceived as large. Yes, she would find it difficult to find clothing that fit correctly, but it wasn't something she dwelled on—she was more concerned with her math and science classes, which eventually led her to major in aerospace engineering and management science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Delman always had her sights set on coming to the United States for college. After graduating, though, she realized that she wanted to do something more practical than aerospace engineering—that, and she needed a company to sponsor her visa to stay in the country. So she turned to investment banking. That's how she got to Goldman Sachs, first as an analyst and eventually becoming a vice president. Fashion was never really on her radar…until that fateful trip to Hong Kong.
"I totally took it for granted, the ability to just find nice clothes for myself whereas somebody who'd be considered [a straight size] in the U.S. is still really struggling in Hong Kong," Delman says now.
Seeing her frustration, Delman's sister recommended she start a wholesale or import business, bringing U.S. or European fashion brands—and more inclusive sizes—to Hong Kong. But when she started her research, Delman found that even in the U.S. there weren't many brands that catered to her target audience of women in corporate environments. Before she could look internationally, she thought, it would be worth getting a sense of the market Stateside.
Delman officially started Ava James NYC with longtime friend Saena Chung back in April—by August, only four months later, they had debuted its first collection. The range is simple and sophisticated, meant to go from the office to after-hours. Every dress is available in sizes 8 through 18 (with more coming down the pipeline). Prices start at $315 and cap out at $385.
Delman, with her background in finance, can also see how large Ava James NYC's potential for growth is: She's analyzed the brand's early sales data, as well as the customer feedback, to reaffirm how important it is for shoppers to have access to elevated womenswear and professional dresses that aren't fast fashion or extremely high-end—clothing that falls somewhere in the middle.
There's another, less talked-about challenge Delman has identified about starting a fashion business—specifically, an inclusive brand: finding an industry standard of size, which essentially means there's a lot of variation between brands and how they do their sizing. (Someone who might wear a size 14 in one brand may wear a different size in Ava James NYC. Because of the variation in sizing, Delman has made shipping and returns free of charge, allowing shoppers to not pay extra to find the garments in their correct size.) "We ended up putting together an Excel spreadsheet of different brands, specifically for size 14 which is our sample size, and took a look at the variation," says Delman.

Q: Application defined or object defined error I am trying to add sheets using: ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Add
I am able to add one sheet but when I try to add two sheets it give me an error: Application defined or object defined error.
Here is the code to adding sheets:
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Add(after:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count), Count:=2, Type:="C:\Users\TestUser\Desktop\TestWorksheet.xltm")
Set ws = Nothing
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

When I change the Count:=1 it works fine, it displays error for Count:=2
Thanks in advance

A: It's because your setting it as WS which is defined as a worksheet.  So it can't contain multiple worksheets

A: The "Count" will only work when you are trying to add xlWorksheet (Which is by default), xlChart, xlExcel4MacroSheet, or xlExcel4IntlMacroSheet.
For example
Sub Sample1()
     Dim ws As Worksheet

     Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Add(after:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count), Count:=5, Type:=xlWorksheet)

     Set ws = Nothing
End Sub

Even if you don't include xlWorksheet, it is ok as it is taken by default.
When you are adding from a template you have to do it in a loop. For example
Sub Sample2()
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Dim i As Long

    Application.ScreenUpdating = False

    i = 1

    Do While i < 3 '<~~ Adding 2 times
        Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Add(after:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count), _
        Type:="C:\Users\TestUser\Desktop\TestWorksheet.xltm")
        i = i + 1
    Loop

    Set ws = Nothing

    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

As requested, I have added a variety of t-shirts in Cafe Press. So far, I've added 3 designs in a variety of colors and shirt styles. I also added more colors for the posters. I'm working on more that I hope to have up this week. I have at least two more t-shirts planned and some coffee mugs.
Check out my shop: Mariposa Naturals Shop.
Leave a comment below if there is something else you would like to see.
This week is about loose ends. Just a few more things to consider if you're expecting a house guest that has MCS or any other health issues exacerbated by fragrances.
I've been thinking about this topic as I go through my days lately and it's reminded me of things I need to mention.
One thing has to do with soap. I have traveled with my own soap and shampoo since I was in high school. (Back then I traveled on a T.Rex's back.) So I always have soap in the one bathroom that I occupy. But that isn't always enough. There are a lot of soaps out that I refuse to use. Especially the liquid hand soaps that are so popular. They leave their perfume smell on your hands, and it stays for a very long time. I just cannot use them. They're so penetrating that the smell is actually absorbed by the plastic container that you put them in. It can be awkward dealing with this issue. When I travel, I like to be a good house guest, but I also like to be migraine free. (And so does everyone around me b/c I'm not a lot of fun with a migraine!) This is likely the type of issue you might want to work out with your future house guest in advance.
Another problem area is the dishwasher. I'm still totally puzzled at the fact that when you go to buy detergent for your dishwasher, you have to choose a scent. Why? What in the world for? I really don't want my dishes to smell like flowers, or lemons or anything else, thank you. Not to mention that I am then ingesting those fragrances when I eat off the plate! But it's a fact of modern life that everything you find in your average grocery store has a fragrancce. Before I found fragrance free dishwasher detergent, we had rules. First, no lids to travel mugs were allowed in the dishwasher. They absorb the fragrance and then I have to smell it with each sip. Second, and most important, never run the dishwasher when I'm going to be near the kitchen. In our house, that means we only ran it when we went to bed or when we left the house. It may seem petty to you if you don't have an issue with fragrances, but the entire time the dishwasher runs, it emits those fragrances into the air. Something to keep in mind with your house guest.
There is one topic that I haven't covered yet, and that is Pest Control. If you live in Colorado, you can likely ignore this because you may not know what I'm talking about. But here in South Texas, insects are a problem. You cannot avoid having them come into your house. But pest control chemicals can be particularly nasty. We had one man doing our house for years and I had no problem with it. Sadly, he passed away. The next ones we brought in caused a three day migraine. I tried one more, recently. He said his products were "green". Well, I didn't have a migraine, but I was allergic to his products. So I sneezed and such for days. I still haven't decided which is worse – allergy or migraine. Besides, five weeks later the ants are back in our kitchen.
I bring up pest control here because you may want to ensure that you don't have pest control service very close to your house guest's arrival.
On a side note – if anyone has suggestions on safe pest control, I could use them.
I have just a couple of points left to make here. First, some of us have diet problems that go along with the MCS. I know I do. I can't eat msg, nitrates, most nuts, plus a few other things. So, you may want to ask your house guest about diet issues. After all, you wouldn't want to plan a pizza night only to learn that your house guest can't eat the pepperoni. (BUT, Whole Foods has nitrate free pepperoni!) And lastly, be considerate of your house guest. I've had people roll their eyes and act like I'm crazy. I may be, but I'm still super-sensitive to smells and am likely to notice things that others dont. So, if your house guest mentions a prolem, trust that it is a problem.
Well, I think I'm done with this series on the MCS House Guest. Unless someone has questions. Please leave your comments and questions on this post and I'll try to address them.
I need some help! A family member with MCS may be coming to visit me and I want to do everything possible to make it a fun and pleasant visit for her (so that I may expect future visits)! I have a guest bedroom that is mostly closed off. I went in there the other day and it smells a little musty. The guest bathroom is the children's bathroom but it's also where I get ready every morning. I do use hairspray in there and unfortunately, there is no window. What things can I start doing now to help with the visit? Maybe you could write a series of blog posts on this?
So this is my start at answering her. I'm not sure just how many posts this will actually be. We'll just see how it goes.
But first, a Disclaimer. (No, not about the fact that I'm not a doctor. Although I'm not.) This disclaimer is about the information I'll provide and the fact that it is NOT One-Size-Fits-All. Every MCS case is different. There are people with MCS that are just not able to travel. And others that can, but they cannot tolerate many things at all. Indeed, it is a disease that has been known to destroy relationships. BUT, my limited travel experience tells me that if the other party is asking questions, it is likely to go well. My best experience was visiting my step-daughter. Of course, it helped immensely that her husband got migraines from (most) fragrances.
The best advice for anyone expecting a house guest is MCS is to ask them what they can and cannot tolerate. They'll be delighted that you cared enough to ask.
So – on with the tips.
First, let's talk about that musty odor. Believe me, there are a lot worse things than a musty odor. A room that's been closed up will tend to be musty. How to cure that? Wash whatever is washable in a Fragrance Free Detergent. (All Free & Clear works well for many.) Don't use any fabric softeners or dryer sheets. Baking soda in the wash, and vinegar for a rinse do well. Another thing that really helps is fresh air and sunshine. It's amazing the odors a day in the sun will do for clothing, pillows, linens, etc.
If you've done any recent remodeling, let your house guest know in advance. Paint smells hang around for a long time. And if you have any planned, wait till after the visit.
Regarding the hairspray in the bathroom: Since it's an aerosol, hairspray goes everywhere when it is sprayed. On the floors, any fabrics (rugs, curtains, towels), into the wood, even plastic will absorb those smells. So, if at all possible, find another place to spray it.
It's funny how those odors are. You're not likely to notice them, since you're around them all the time. But they are there. I once had a not-so-thoughtful house guest who used something with a fragrance in it. Mind you, they were asked not to, but not everyone believes there's a real health issue here. (Either it's all in my head, or I just don't like perfumes. You've no doubt met the type.) Whatever it was they sprayed, it hung around for a couple of weeks after they were gone.
The next thing I would address is the use of air "fresheners". The rule there is – Don't. Get rid of them now, as in ASAP. As in Yesterday. Your whole family will breathe better anyway as there really isn't anything healthy in them.
I have to laugh at the managers of the copy franchises around town. They put all these plug-in air "fresheners" in their store because of the chemical smells from the copiers. One near me had 2 plug-in air "fresheners" within 6 feet of each other. What they don't quite get is this. First, everyone is still breathing the nasty chemicals from the copy machines, even if they no longer smell them. Second, the VOCs in the plug-in air "fresheners" really are just as bad for you. So, they've only succeeded in making a bad problem worse.
Hopefully, you don't use a lot of air fresheners throughout your house. If you do, and they've been there a while, then they have probably been absorbed by EVERYTHING. Warn your visitor, please.
An example of how pervasive the odors can be: My father's house always had a particular odor to it. I suspect that it was some sort of fragrance, likely from a cleaning or laundry product used in the house. Everything that came out of that house had that smell. Clothing, furniture, papers. Literally everything. When I had to clean his house out last year, you could smell it. And realtors who showed his house commented on it. It did finally go away. By that time, the house was totally empty and the carpet had all been steam-cleaned. But it really did hang on to everything.
OK – next week I'll have some more info. I'll tackle cleaning and laundry issues.
Feel free to leave questions or comments here.

Home Guest Commentary Heroes of the Pacific Wai'anae Coast's Heroes
Wai'anae Coast's Heroes
Duane Vachon
National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific
BY DUANE VACHON – Usually when one thinks of the Wai'anae Coast, heroes do not come to mind. Unless you are a resident of this beautiful coast it is unlikely you would know that it has three native sons who have earned America's highest award for gallantry.
The Wai'anae Coast has a population of approximately 5,000 and from this small segment of the State of Hawaii three Congressional Medal of Honor recipients have come. Shinyei Nakamine, Yeiki Kobashigawa, and Herbert K. Pilila`au.
Our story today is about one of those three, Shinyei Nakamine, a Nisei who paid the ultimate price to prove his loyalty to America. Shinyei who was born and raised on the Wai'anae Coast was one of the first to join the 100th Infantry Battalion.
The 100th Infantry Battalion (Separate)—known as the "One-Puka-Puka" (Puka means "hole" in Hawaiian)—was activated on June 12, 1942, was an all Asian American unit composed of mostly Japanese Americans. It was composed of over 1,400 predominantly Nisei (Second Generation Americans of Japanese Ancestry), led by a handful of "haole" (Caucasian) officers. The troops were formed from the Varsity Victory Volunteers in the Territory of Hawaii, which led to many pidgin phrases becoming common in the Battalion and in the subsequently-formed442nd Regimental Combat Team.
After training at Camp McCoy, Wisconsin, and Camp Shelby, Mississippi, the battalion was ready to deploy, but was refused by General Dwight D. Eisenhower. General Mark Clark, commanding the Fifth Army, accepted the offer, and the One-Puka-Puka deployed to the Mediterranean in August 1943.
Fifth Army attached the battalion to the 34th Infantry Division. The unit entered combat on September 27, 1943, near Salerno in Southern Italy. The battalion fought well and took heavy casualties, leading Clark to tell the Army "Send me all you got!"
Historically, the unit is referred to as the "Purple Heart Battalion", with the motto "Go For Broke". One of the most famous members of this unit was U.S. Senator Daniel Inouye who was part of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team. He lost his arm from wounds sustained in combat.
Medal of Honor citation
Private Shinyei Nakamine distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism in action on 2 June 1944, near La Torreto, Italy. During an attack, Private Nakamine's platoon became pinned down by intense machine gun crossfire from a small knoll 200 yards to the front. On his own initiative, Private Nakamine crawled toward one of the hostile weapons. Reaching a point 25 yards from the enemy, he charged the machine gun nest, firing his submachine gun, and killed three enemy soldiers and captured two. Later that afternoon, Private Nakamine discovered an enemy soldier on the right flank of his platoon's position. Crawling 25 yards from his position, Private Nakamine opened fire and killed the soldier. Then, seeing a machine gun nest to his front approximately 75 yards away, he returned to his platoon and led an automatic rifle team toward the enemy. Under covering fire from his team, Private Nakamine crawled to a point 25 yards from the nest and threw hand grenades at the enemy soldiers, wounding one and capturing four. Spotting another machine gun nest 100 yards to his right flank, he led the automatic rifle team toward the hostile position but was killed by a burst of machine gun fire. Private Nakamine's extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit on him, his unit, and the United States Army.
There is an interesting story that was shared with me when I was doing the research for this article. After the ceremony in which the Medal of Honor was awarded to several Nisei by President Clinton a special retreat ceremony was held by the Army.
Along with many of the families of the 100th Battalion and the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, Hayashi's family had attended a special retreat ceremony Tuesday night.
At the end of the ceremony there were two families left who could not get on the Army buses as they were full. One family was the Nakamine's and the other was the Hayashi's whose brother had also received the Congressional Medal of Honor. But when they were preparing to leave, all the Army buses were full.
As they waited, the Army's Chief of Staff, four-star General Eric Shinseki, saw Hayashi and the family of Shinyei Nakamine waiting. Like the island boy he is, the general invited the two families to his three-story quarters.
"I thought they (the Shinseki's) were most gracious," said Karen Kanimoto, Hayashi's daughter.
"They were so cordial. They haven't lost the Hawaiian spirit. I was impressed by their sincerity. They showed us every part of their home."
General Shinseki, now Secretary Shinseki is the living embodiment of the Aloha Spirit.
Private Shinyei Nakamine now rests in peace at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, Section D Grave 402.

German National Team and International Soccer
Arturo Vidal in Chile squad for World Cup Qualifiers
Chile have two massive games coming up.
By Phillip Quinn@philneezy Mar 21, 2016, 5:54am CET
Share All sharing options for: Arturo Vidal in Chile squad for World Cup Qualifiers
Kelley L Cox-USA TODAY Sports
Arturo Vidal was called up for Chile's two upcoming World Cup Qualifiers against Argentina and Venezuela. The midfielder will make the long trip to South America to get with his country ahead of the two important matches.
After coming out of the gates strong in qualifying with wins over Brazil and Peru, Chile stumbled in their next two matches. A draw against Colombia and a crushing defeat to Uruguay means that Chile is currently five points behind table topping Ecuador.
If Chile can take all three points against Argentina, they'll put five points between them and likely sending the Argentinians into panicked spell heading into this summer's Copa America Centenario. Their other opponent Venezuela, sit at the bottom of the table with zero points.
Chile will host Argentina on March 24 before visiting Venezuala on March 28. They currently sit fifth in CONMEBOL's ten team World Cup Qualifying.
Goalkeepers: Claudio Bravo (Barcelona), Johnny Herrera (Universidad de Chile), Crstopher Toselli (Universidad Catolica)
Defenders: Miiko Albornoz (Hannover 96), Felipe Campos (Palestino), Paulo Diaz (San Lorenzo), Mauricio Isla (Marseille), Gonzalo Jara (Universidad de Chile), Gary Medel (Internazionale), Eugenio Mena (Sao Paulo), Enzo Roco (Espanyol)
Midfielders: Jean Beausejour (Colo-Colo), Marcelo Diaz (Celta), Matias Fernandez (Fiorentina), Felipe Gutierrez (Twente), Fernando Meneses (Veracruz), Bryan Rabello (Santos Laguna), Francisco Silva (Chiapas), Arturo Vidal (Bayern Munich)
Forwards: Nicolas Castillo (Universidad Catolica), Angelo Henriquez (Dinamo Zagreb), Fabian Orellana (Celta), Mauricio Pinilla (Atalanta), Alexis Sanchez (Arsenal), Jeisson Vargas (Universidad Catolica)

Die Präfektur des Päpstlichen Hauses (lat.: Pontificalis Domus) wurde in ihrer heutigen Form von Papst Paul VI. am 15. August 1967 durch das Motu proprio Pontificalis Domus errichtet und zuletzt durch Papst Franziskus in der Apostolischen Konstitution Praedicate Evangelium geregelt. Sie ist für die Angestellten sowie den reibungslosen Ablauf innerhalb des päpstlichen Haushalts zuständig. Alle nicht-liturgischen Zeremonien des Papstes werden von ihr vorbereitet und koordiniert.

Geschichte
Ursprünglich hieß die Präfektur Präfektur des Apostolischen Palastes, wurde aber umgeformt und entstand in ihrer heutigen Form durch die Vereinigung des Maggiordomo Seiner Heiligkeit und der Zeremonienkongregation. Die Präfektur ist heute auch für die Funktionen des alten Maestro di Casa dei Sacri Palazzi, wie auch der Wappenkommission für den Päpstlichen Hof zuständig. Bereits 1968 übernahm sie die heutige Bezeichnung infolge der Wiederaufnahme des überlieferten Namens Päpstliches Haus. Ursprünglich den Ämtern der Kurie angehörend, nahm sie Papst Johannes Paul II. am 28. März 1986 mit der Apostolischen Konstitution Pastor Bonus aus dieser heraus, doch bleibt sie auch weiterhin ein Organ der Kurie. Sie sorgt sich vor allem für die Sicherung der inneren Ordnung der Casa Pontificia und ist auch für Disziplin und Dienst all jener zuständig, welche die Cappella Pontificia und die Famiglia Pontificia bilden.

Organisation
Es gehört zu den Aufgaben der Präfektur, für die Ordnung bei Audienzen und Zeremonien im päpstlichen Palast zu sorgen, aber auch bei Papstbesuchen innerhalb und außerhalb Roms. Sie muss die öffentlichen und privaten päpstlichen Audienzen organisieren und regeln, für deren Ablauf früher ein Maestro di Camera sorgte. Seine Aufgabe bestand im Empfang der hohen Persönlichkeiten aus Kirche und Welt, die sich zur Audienz beim Heiligen Vater begaben und die er ihm vorstellte. Auch wachte er über den normalen Dienst während der Audienzen selbst. Eine weitere Aufgabe der Präfektur ist die Vorbereitung päpstlicher Zeremonien, wie Heiligsprechungen, Priester- oder Bischofsweihen, feierlichen Papstmessen etc. Hierbei fällt der streng liturgische Teil jedoch bereits in den Aufgabenbereich des Amtes für die Liturgischen Feiern des Papstes. Ferner trifft sie alle notwendigen Verfügungen, wenn der Papst den Vatikan verlässt, um sich in seine Diözese Rom oder eine andere italienische Diözese zu begeben. Zusammen mit dem Staatssekretariat bereitet sie Pastoralbesuche im Ausland oder Staatsbesuche von Staatsoberhäuptern, Regierungschefs, Ministern im Vatikan vor.

Das Protokoll der Präfektur setzt auch die Ordnung und den Rang fest, die bei diesen religiösen oder zivilen Zeremonien zu beachten sind, wenn im Vatikan Kardinäle ihren besonderen Rang bekommen müssen oder auch Botschafter oder andere beim Heiligen Stuhl beglaubigte Vertreter sich anmelden. Sie bestimmt auch die Präzedenzen für die verschiedenen kirchlichen, staatlichen oder militärischen Autoritäten des Vatikanstaates als einzig zuständiges Organ. Daher ist sie für die Fragen der Etikette maßgeblich.

Die Leitung der Präfektur ist stets einem Bischof mit dem Titel Präfekt des Päpstlichen Hauses anvertraut, der durch diese Aufgabe als Vertrauensmann des Papstes für die Verwaltung seines souveränen Hauses gilt. Zur Bewältigung seiner Aufgaben stehen ihm ein Regens, Assistent für Sprachen und ein Beamter für das Protokoll zur Seite. Er hat auch alle Angehörigen des Casa Pontificia für die jeweiligen religiösen und zivilen Zeremonien zusammenzurufen, ihre einzelnen Dienste festzulegen, über die Ordnung der Zeremonien selbst und alles zu wachen, was für ihren rechten und reibungslosen Ablauf nach den jeweils festgelegten Normen und Erfordernissen notwendig ist. Er muss ebenso für die Benennung aller Personen mit Zuweisung ihrer Aufgabe sorgen, die je nach Bedarf mitwirken.

Wappen der Präfekten

Präfekten des Päpstlichen Hauses können das Papstwappen als Teil ihres eigenen Wappens führen. So zeigte das Erzbischofswappen Georg Gänsweins bis 2013 das Wappen von Papst Benedikt XVI., seither das Wappen von Papst Franziskus.

Elon Musk spills new details about the most affordable Tesla ever
Home › Cars
By Yoni Heisler
September 3rd, 2015 at 5:35 PM
Outspoken Tesla CEO Elon Musk took to Twitter on Wednesday to drop a few nuggets of information about the highly anticipated Model 3 and the soon-to-be-released Model X.
DON'T MISS: 10 of the best iPhone widgets in the world
As far as the Model 3 goes, Musk relayed that Tesla's electric car for the masses will be formally unveiled in March of 2016, whereupon the company will begin taking pre-orders. And if pre-orders for the Model S and Model X are any indication, it's a safe bet that the Tesla Model 3 — sized at about 80% of the Model S — is poised to be a runaway hit. The only looming question is whether or not Tesla's Model 3 design resonates with consumers.
Price-wise, Musk reiterated a price point he's trotted out before, namely that the base price on the Model 3 will check in at $35,000. As far as a release date is concerned, Musk said that production will begin in two years time. Musk explained that Tesla first has to wait until the Gigafactory is fully operational before kicking off Model 3 production.
Model 3, our smaller and lower cost sedan will start production in about 2 years. Fully operational Gigafactory needed.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) September 2, 2015
Moving our attention to the Model X, Tesla's upcoming SUV was on the receiving end of some criticism this week after word spread that the base model Signature Series edition of the Model X starts at $132,000. Via Twitter, Musk clarified that Model X pricing, generally speaking, will only cost about $5,000 more than a corresponding Model S.
"With same options, Model X is $5k more than an S due to greater size & body complexity," Musk explained. "Sig Series is fully loaded, hence high price."

Earth Day is coming up on 22nd April, and is an ideal time to remind children about recycling and taking care of our Earth. We love junk modelling and diy games, so we decided to combine both of these activities and make our own recycling game – out of recycled materials of course! It's fun to make, and fun to play – so two activities in one.
This recycling game is a posting game, so you are going to make the tissue box into the posting box where all the "recycled items" will be posted in. You could make several post boxes for each type of recycled material but it will be a little more time consuming, and take up more space so we decided to just use the one box.
Cover your box in tissue paper and decorate it with stickers, tape or however you prefer.
Next, you need to transform your old wooden block into a dice for the game. We covered each side with a differently coloured and patterned design of tape – six in total.
We decided that rolling a black means that you miss your turn, which left us with 5 different colours to assign to different types of recycling.
We made several cards and wrote different recyclable items on them, along with a small picture to help the younger players who can't read well. Each category was labelled up with a small strip of coloured or patterned tape. So all the food waste has a zig zag patterned tape, and all the paper waste has a green tape and so on.
Place all of the recyclable item cards upside down on the floor or table.
Each player will take turns to roll the dice. If you land on a colour, for example green, then you need to pick out a green card. This starts off as a game of chance, and then becomes a memory game as children remember where each card was located.
Once you pick the matching colour that you need, you can post it into the recycling box and the player who posted the post items wins.
It's pretty simple and all of my kids 3-6 were able to grasp these rules and enjoy this simple game.
It's a fun way to think and talk about the type of items that can be recycled as well as working on matching patterns, turn taking, and practising reading the words.
Once the game was finished, we reversed it by rolling the dice and then trying to pick a correct card back out of the recycling box which brings in a bit of extra fine motor practise.
We then sorted all the cards into their categories and talked about the materials and why certain items were grouped together.
When you're done, everything fits inside the box so that you can easily keep it for another day.
This post is part of the "Every Parent's Guide to Natural Parenting and Earth Day" blog hop. Check out the rest of the series to find even more great ideas for recycled crafts, and green parenting.

What a lovely idea, it looks like a lot of fun too. Plus I like the way you can store everything in the box when they've finished playing.
You are so clever Anna – love this idea!
Great idea, Ana! You are so creative! As someone who works in a rubbish removal company , I'm really happy when I'm seeing people who are trying to reduce their waste and most important- give good example and teach the next generation to care about the environment. You are great role model!
Such a nice idea! I'm sure my boys will like it very much, plus we are already talking about recycling at home and this game is very relevant at the moment. Thank you for sharing! Greets!
All parents want to leave the world a better place for their children. While it sometimes feels like we don't have much control over what happens down the line, one of the best ways to ensure that there will be a healthy planet for future generations is to teach little ones about recycling now so that they grow up with an awareness about waste and an appreciation for preserving resources.
Such a fun way of teaching kids some eco-consciousness! Love it!

Description from Amazon: In 2010, the Army created Cultural Support Teams, a secret pilot program to insert women alongside Special Operations soldiers battling in Afghanistan. The Army reasoned that women could play a unique role on Special Ops teams: accompanying their male colleagues on raids and, while those soldiers were searching for insurgents, questioning the mothers, sisters, daughters and wives living at the compound. Their presence had a calming effect on enemy households, but more importantly, the CSTs were able to search adult women for weapons and gather crucial intelligence. They could build relationships—woman to woman—in ways that male soldiers in an Islamic country never could.

The definition of the objectives of SUD'EAU2 is to be part of a preliminary diagnosis of the problematic environmental, social and economic policies relating to water in south-west Europe.
From the analysis, it was found that there was insufficient implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) at local and regional level. This was found to be due to a lack of standardised methodologies and tools to help achieve the objectives of the WFD.
To address this problem, the members of SUD'EAU 2 established that the main objective of the project would be to improve the application of the WFD at a local and regional level by developing sustainable water management and conservation of river areas.
Analyze and improve the tools developed in the first Sud'eau and extend them to new areas and watersheds.
Develop new experiences of reference at local and regional level operating within the WFD framework.
Extend the results of the project in the SUDOE area using innovative applications and utilities for the managers of alternative water sources and river areas.
Form a network of organisations for sustainable water management with the capacity to give proposals to policy makers in the institutional policies of water.

How Does a Tow Truck Boom Work?
Tow truck booms are a critical component of any tow truck. They provide the necessary means to quickly and safely secure vehicles that are in need of being towed. Booms come in many shapes and sizes, depending on the type of vehicle being towed, as well as the size of the tow truck.
How Does a Tow Truck Boom Work? Generally speaking, a tow truck boom is a large metal arm that is attached to the front of the tow truck. This arm can be raised or lowered depending on the height needed to attach to the vehicle being towed. The boom then has a hook or clamp attached to its end, which is used to secure and lift the vehicle off of the ground for it to be towed.
There are several variations in types of booms, from telescopic booms that can extend up to 25 feet in length to fold-down booms that can be stowed away when not in use. The type of boom used depends on factors such as size, weight and location of the vehicle being towed. For example, if a larger vehicle needs to be towed from an off-road area or from deep water, then a telescopic boom would be more suitable than a fold-down boom.
When it's time to attach the boom onto the vehicle being towed, there are several safety precautions that must be taken by both operators and passengers alike. First, any loose items must be removed from inside and outside of both vehicles before attaching the boom.
Next, both operators must make sure they are wearing their seatbelts before attaching the hook or clamp onto the vehicle's frame or bumper. Finally, after attaching the hook or clamp securely onto the frame or bumper, both operators should use caution when operating controls in order for safe operation while moving forward with towing operations.
Conclusion: Tow truck booms provide an effective way for operators to safely secure vehicles for transport without risking damage or harm during operations. With many different types available depending on size and location factors, tow truck operators always have access to suitable equipment for their specific jobs. By following safety precautions and using caution when operating controls during use, tow truck booms can help ensure successful operations every time!
What Is a Tow Truck Boom?
A tow truck boom, also referred to as a crane, is a device used to lift and move disabled vehicles. This type of vehicle is most commonly seen in the automotive industry and is usually equipped with an extendable boom arm, which can be raised and lowered to safely attach the disabled vehicle in order to transport it. The boom arm works by being winched up, where it is then attached to the frame of the disabled vehicle.
How Do You Use a Tow Truck Boom?
Tow truck booms are a vital part of the tow truck industry. They are used to lift and move heavy objects, such as vehicles, in order to transport them from one place to another. The boom is an arm-like structure that is connected to the back of the tow truck and supports the weight of whatever it is lifting.
How Does the Tow Truck Work?
Tow trucks are an essential part of the automotive industry. They are used to transport broken down or damaged vehicles from one place to another, as well as for recovery operations in the event of an accident. The tow truck is a large vehicle that can be operated by either an individual or a business.
How Does a Tow Truck Work?
A tow truck is a vehicle used to move disabled, illegally parked, impounded, or otherwise indisposed vehicles. Tow trucks are usually operated by professionals who have been trained to handle such vehicles and situations. Types of Tow Trucks – There are several types of tow trucks available for different purposes.
How Does a Snatch Tow Truck Work?
A snatch tow truck is a specialized type of tow truck that is used to tow away vehicles in a unique fashion. It has two hoists, one at the back of the vehicle and one at the front, which are connected to a long cable. The cable is then pulled tight by the hoist, allowing for the vehicle to be towed away without damaging it.
How Does a Tow Truck Lift Work?
Tow trucks are one of the most important tools for getting a car off the road in case of an emergency. They are used to lift and move vehicles that cannot be driven due to mechanical failure, an accident, or any other situation that requires the vehicle to be moved from its current location. But how does a tow truck lift work?
How Does an Old Tow Truck Work?
An old tow truck is a powerful and versatile tool that can be used to tow large vehicles, haul materials, and perform other tasks. It is often used by auto repair shops, tow companies, and construction sites. The truck consists of several major components, including the engine, transmission, axles, suspension system, brakes, and tires.
How Does a Tow Truck Wheel Lift Work?
A tow truck wheel lift is a powerful piece of machinery capable of lifting and transporting large vehicles. It works by clamping onto the frame of a vehicle and then using a hydraulic system to lift the vehicle off the ground. This allows for safe, efficient towing of vehicles that may be too large or heavy for traditional towing methods.

Next time a train makes you late, think beyond the inconvenience. In addition to transporting indispensable freight, these rolling behemoths carry a certain allure.
When the union pacific trudges through, the entire city pauses. Time moves slowly at the crossing. Graffiti-tagged freight cars present a modern art museum on wheels. Autos edge closer, hoping to hurry the train along. The trains—their noises, their smells, their sheer mass—are a constant in central Arlington, as if its boundaries are more clearly defined by a strange auditory scope than by any streets. Railroads are a conspicuous, often annoying fact of Arlington life. And the city is possibly more affected by them than either Fort Worth or Dallas.
In the 1800s Texas desired a southern route to California, what officials would call the 32nd parallel railroad. Politics, financial troubles, and the Civil War delayed plans. After the war several companies combined to create the Texas and Pacific Railway, a federally chartered operation with land compensation from the state. The T&P wanted to run a train from Dallas to Fort Worth with sights on San Diego.
The train needed a midpoint for reloading and refueling. Johnson Station was the obvious choice. A settlement three miles south of present-day downtown Arlington with a cotton plantation, a blacksmith shop, and a post office, it already was on the stagecoach route. Nevertheless, the T&P built its depot north of Johnson Station. Evelyn Barker and Lea Worcester, UT Arlington librarians and Arlington historians, wrote about the tracks moving north for the Images of America series.
"They moved their buildings north in some cases," Worcester adds.
Much of Johnson Station relocated, and Arlington was born. Meanwhile, another company was laying track westward. Southern Pacific moved faster, taking potential track away from the T&P. Texas lawmakers announced that if the section between Dallas and Fort Worth wasn't completed by the end of the 1876 legislative session, they would deny land grants to the T&P.
Panicked Fort Worth citizens showed up with shovels, axes, and sledgehammers to do what they could. City representatives at the Capitol tried to stall adjournment. At 9 a.m. July 19, 1876, without a day to spare, the train passed through Arlington, slowly, tentatively, on wobbly tracks built by farmers. Five years later, the Southern Pacific and T&P lines met in Sierra Blanca in far West Texas, forming the third transcontinental rail.
Arlington's new train depot, at Center and Main streets, made the town a market mecca for surrounding farms, and downtown grew around it. Shops, banks, and churches emerged outward, as did the school that would become UT Arlington.
As railroads improved, Arlington was no longer a necessary fuel stop, and the mid-century automotive boom killed passenger trains between Fort Worth and Dallas. The city dismantled the depot in the early 1950s. In 1976 T&P merged with Missouri Pacific and was then acquired by Union Pacific, which manages the line today. The train still stops at Arlington's General Motors Assembly Plant.
Never mind that trains grind Cooper Street traffic to a halt. They are a vital cog in the nation's supply chain.
Logistics cost less in the United States than elsewhere in the world. As one of the most efficient and environmentally friendly modes of surface transportation, railways keep costs down. Steel on steel is more efficient than rubber on concrete.
Though it seems counterintuitive, U.S. rail is also a major influence abroad. College of Business Associate Professor Edmund Prater, a supply chain management expert, says the "land bridge phenomenon" plays a huge role in international trade.
The U.S. freight train business is booming. The Association of American Railroads reports that carloads shipped by rail, not including coal, were up 3.3 percent in December compared to last year. This growth is part of a 10-year trend. Lately, more businesses are shipping goods by rail due to high oil prices and increased imports from Asia. The shale oil industry has benefited from the railroad, too, hauling materials to places like North Dakota that lack pipelines.
Fort Worth-based BNSF Railway Co. plans to invest $1 billion this year on locomotives, freight cars, and other equipment. That's part of a $4.1 billion capital program—a $450 million increase from the previous year. General Electric hired 300 people at a new plant north of Fort Worth to build more locomotives, while Union Pacific is spending $30 million to replace worn-out track between Fort Worth and Dallas.
Kevin Ghassemi '06 worked for BNSF as a train master, which is like an air traffic controller for the rails. He saw the industry up close.
Now a national account manager for BNSF, Ghassemi was introduced to the company through UT Arlington's Goolsby Leadership Academy, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. Established with an anonymous $2 million gift in honor of John '64 and Judy Goolsby, the academy is a cohort-based program that prepares juniors and seniors to become business executives.
A longtime academy supporter, BNSF has established a $500,000 endowed scholarship and a $900,000 endowment to create an early development program that includes freshmen and sophomores. Charles Shewmake '87, vice president and general counsel for BNSF and a member of the College of Business Advisory Council, values his company's involvement with the Goolsby Leadership Academy.
Ghassemi reflects on his initial misconception.
Trains still frustrate the University community and the Arlington motorist. But the next time you're stopped at a crossing, remember that there would be no Arlington—and no UT Arlington—without them. Think about the role they play in the national and international economy.
Railroads conjure thoughts of Wild West mythology and the innocence of Stand by Me—a bygone era when a boy would walk along the tracks because it was the most direct way to get across town. On the borrowed path, he would constantly look behind, afraid that a train might sneak up on him. But that would never happen.
A mile away, the lumbering giant would announce its presence with a low growl. The boy would place a penny on the tracks, but it never flattened like it should. He'd step aside, allowing the bully to have its way. He could feel the locomotive's power in his stomach, a magnificent shock wave of weight and speed, a warning that said keep your distance.
The train forever reminds us of the larger worlds beyond our town, centers of commerce and steel, extending from coast to coast and points in-between—connected by parallel and perpendicular lines, a grand matrix of business and culture and a certain charm.


when is the next, I came late so I wasn't able to part take in the tournament, but I still had fun watching , customizing , learning , recording epic battles and all of the above Bey blade stuff . It was really great I hope the next is close.
Despite some initial hiccups with me accidentally leaving some players out of the Challonge bracket, and a few players that dropped out a few rounds into the tournament, I would say the event was mostly a success. Apologies to everyone for the issues at the beginning, it was my first time trying to run such a large tournament (we had a turnout of 21 people!). Special shoutout to bladerpro for getting 4th place at his first tournament, that Meteo combo sure gave a lot of people trouble!

Hey! I'm sorry that we couldn't include you in the tournament, but we were already halfway done with Round 4 by the time you showed up. I'm glad you still had fun though! I don't know when the next tournament will be unfortunately, but at the very latest there will be one next summer.
I'm pretty sure it only counts as a win in the context of the tournament bracket (as in it counted towards your 4-1 record going into the finals). If the match was not actually played, it shouldn't be added to the spreadsheet since that's what will (hopefully one day) get processed, and those forfeited matches are not included in the BP System.
Kei Sam can one of you back me up on this?
@[Kei] Sam can one of you back me up on this?
Actually, players who drop in any format are ultimately given losses for unplayed matches. Players always retain their wins for matches played in the WBO Rankings, but it is within the context of the Round Robin or Block Round Robin event only that they would be given losses for everything so that no players who actually lost to the dropped player are at a disadvantage in comparison to those who didn't have to play them and got an automatic win.
In Swiss–which is the format this tournament used–they retain their wins within the context of the event, but are given losses for the remainder of the event for the purpose of allowing the tournament to proceed. Make sense?
What this means is that the matches the dropped player has played will be counted for the WBO Rankings (meaning it should be listed as a win in the results spreadsheet), but will all be considered "losses" within the context of the event.
For example, if someone wins four matches in an eight-player round robin and drops, they'll get the four wins (for the matches played) and three losses (for the matches missed) within the WBO Rankings, but will receive seven losses within the context of the tournament. This will ensure that the flow of the tournament is not disrupted in any way; players who lost to the player that dropped won't be at a disadvantage compared to the players who didn't and get free wins as a result.

I've gone and updated the spreadsheet with the forfeited matches, and I understand the reasoning behind dropped players retaining their wins in Swiss, but I was always under the impression that matches involving dropped players after they had dropped out would not be processed in the rankings? That's certainly the precedent that was set by the past two Anime North tournaments.
What I was referring to as "only counting in the context of the tournament" was Jimmyjazz's win by forfeit against KieraFaye, as in it would boost his standing within the tournament and his chances of qualifying for the finals.

That's certainly the precedent that was set by the past two Anime North tournaments.
The clarifications for dropped participants were brought on partially because of what's happened at Anime North events, so we decided to enact the changes moving forward from the time they were introduced back in August to be fair to past players who may have left an event previously not knowing they would still receive losses for dropped Swiss matches. We need there to be some level of punishment for leaving an event that's more meaningful than credit reductions or something because it does disrupt the flow of things for organizers and players.
Yeah, that's how it works. Everyone receives a win within the context of the tournament against the dropped player if it's Round Robin or Block Round Robin.
Anyone interested in doing this again July 2018?

I'm waiting for the Organizers Quiz to come back to me, if I get it back and pass the quiz by then I'd be happy to host an event!
Great. We live near Ardmore and will help.


Once upon a time you may have wandered down the grocery aisle and picked up a bag of rice without a second thought. But lately the sheer variety of types can be overwhelming. And we're not just talking brown versus white. Your average store might offer black, brown, red, white and about a dozen permutations of each.
We called on McKel Hill, MS, RD, author of Nutrition Stripped, and founder of the NS Society — a guide to master meal planning — to help us decode the best rice for health (and flavor!).
Also known as black or purple rice, forbidden rice originates from Japan and gets its color from the same antioxidant that gives blueberries, acai and eggplant their dark hues. According to Hill, it's, "slightly sweet and nutrient-dense from antioxidants and has more fiber and protein than other rice varieties." Indeed, researchers have found that the forbidden kind has more antioxidants than brown. The black variety's antioxidants can help reduce arterial plaque buildup and lower cholesterol, says Hill. Although it's called "forbidden," it is popularly used in desserts because of its sweet, nutty flavor, but you can easily swap it in a savory dish, too.
Similar to the forbidden kind, its red cousin gets its hue from the same antioxidants and has 10 times the antioxidants of brown. Sometimes called Bhutanese red rice, this crimson variety is also rich in minerals, like potassium and magnesium, and cooks quickly (just 20 minutes, compared to 35-plus for brown). Red rice has a rich flavor, so it pairs well with other foods that can hold their own.
While forbidden and red refer to specific types of the grain, brown rice is a broad label for varieties that are unhulled. Every kind of white rice you can think of — from jasmine to short-grain — is brown first before its outer hull is removed. The bran — or outside layer — of rice contains most of its vitamins and minerals and some of its fiber. Removing the bran changes the nutrient profile. Some research has suggested that whole-grain varieties can lead to healthier blood sugar levels.
But contrary to popular belief, white rice isn't significantly more carb-rich and nutrient-poor than the brown kind. The unhulled version just has more healthy fats and minerals than white. It also has a nuttier flavor and chewier texture.
Basmati: Used in Indian and Pakastani cuisine, basmati has a slightly nutty flavor and very long grains.
Jasmine: Aromatic like basmati, jasmine is the choice in Thai cooking.
Sticky rice: Usually called Japanese or sushi rice, this glutinous sticky variety is used for sushi and other Asian dishes.
Bomba or paella: A staple in Spanish cuisine, it absorbs a lot of water without getting sticky. Its absorption of cooking broth helps give paella its flavor and color.
Arborio: Used to make Italian risotto (carnaroli is another popular choice), this rice gives risotto its creamy texture.
If you're cooking an ethnic dish that calls for a specific type of white rice, go for it! But if you want to up your nutrient intake, you can always explore dishes that use black or red, or swap brown for white.

Erja Lyytinen has released a music video for her new single, "Without You." Lyytinen has a new album set to be released in the fall.
"The song is about a person who is searching for the feeling she had with someone who's no longer available. It is dealing with the phenomenon of how the human mind obsesses about something or someone that is out of a person's reach," said Lyytinen.

The American clock is unwinding
Sunday, 08 November 2020 6:21 PM [ Last Update: Sunday, 08 November 2020 6:50 PM ]
US President-elect Joe Biden (left) and President Donald Trump
By Dennis Etler
The American Punch and Judy show continues. For half the country Trump is a culture hero, for the other half the devil incarnate. And the same applies to Biden.
Both have constructed a myth that doesn't reflect the reality behind their facades. Eight years of Obama on the one hand and four years of Trump on the other, did not solve the underlying systemic problems of US capitalism, and neither will four years of Biden.
But, the above analysis is too facile. Trump addressed many of the concerns of his base, and Biden will do the same.
The underlying crisis of capitalism, however, exacerbates the conflicts within society rather than resolve them. Promises made are seldom kept, but people still hold out hope, and when basic needs are met by the Democrats, such as DACA, Obamacare or other piecemeal reforms, people feel their prayers have been answered.
The same applies to Trump supporters. By responding to their deep seated cultural values the Republicans can cover for their predatory policies that disproportionately benefit the rich and powerful.
Both parties engage in shadow boxing. Time after time it's proven successful, so the political pendulum continues to swing from the left to the right and back again, keeping the clock ticking. But eventually the spring will unwind, the ticking will stop and the clock will come to a halt. Only then will real change occur.
US elections: The Trump interregnum is over
The Trump interregnum is over and American political life will return to some semblance of normalcy, Professor Dennis Etler says.

Living with cystic fibrosis
Health and Fitness	by cnewt002 April 24, 2021 April 21, 2021
By Carly Newton

One thousand people are diagnosed with cystic fibrosis every year, and there are currently more than 30,000 people in the United States living with the disease. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation describes it as "a progressive, genetic disease that causes persistent lung infections and limits the ability to breathe over time." The severity of the disease causes a shorter life expectancy — as of today, the average lifespan of a person living with cystic fibrosis is 44 years.
Sharon Dingman is a 52-year-old woman who was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at birth. When she was younger her doctors were unsure how long she would live, but at 52, working as a respiratory therapist, she continues to beat many of the odds.
"When I was born, they said I wouldn't make it to grade school. Then they said I wouldn't make it to high school. I was always just ahead of the curve. Back then, the life expectancy was from your teens to your 20s," Dingman said.
Dingman also had a sister who was born with cystic fibrosis in 1967, but she died a couple of months later.
"When I was born, they tested me immediately," Dingman said.
Dingman hasn't let cystic fibrosis stop her from doing anything she aspired to do. She had a son despite the risks and uncertainties surrounding her pregnancy, and she also became a respiratory therapist despite the dangers of being around so many sick patients.
Last year, as COVID-19 made its way into Dingman's hospital, she was told to take a couple of months off from work, but she ultimately got tired of being at home. Despite being high-risk because of her cystic fibrosis, she decided she wanted to go back and help her co-workers on the frontline. In her line of work, she has been involved with the majority of COVID patients at her hospital.
"I went back to work in May, and I was there for the second wave of COVID-19, which for our hospital was worse than the first wave. Some of my co-workers had me avoid COVID patients, others didn't seem to think about it, but I didn't shy away from them," Dingman said. "I feel safer going to work than I do going to Walmart."
Dingman has a 25-year-old son, and said that he is a carrier for cystic fibrosis. She mentioned that the disease is genetic and for it to be passed on to a child, both parents have to be carriers. Fortunately, her son does not have cystic fibrosis.
"I must have been one of the first people with CF to have a baby," Dingman said. "My lung doctor did not want me to have a baby at all."

A few years ago, Dingman had begun to see a steady decline in her health and was preparing for the worst. She was going to the hospital two or three times a year while staying for two weeks at a time, and a lung function test had revealed that she was only using 40% of her lungs.
But last November, Dingman started taking a new drug called "Trikafta" that has significantly improved her symptoms and health. Her lung function test now revealed that she was using 60% of her lungs, a clear sign that her health was improving. This revelation came as a shock to her as she believed time was running out.
"The day before I started taking Trikafta, I was thinking I was going to have to go on disability, and I was really thinking how much time do I have left?" Dingman said. "I was starting to get really sick, but now I'm wondering what do I do now?"
Dingman believes that this new drug will continue to help more cystic fibrosis patients and even give them a more positive outlook for their future.
"I just watched a lecture the other day, and right now, the life expectancy statistics that didn't include Trikafta were about 45, but with Trikafta, they're expecting the life expectancy to increase to around 70 years old," Dingman said. "That's like a whole lifetime."

Mo-Chel was the first Halach Uinik of the Kuchkabal Ah Kin Chel. He started the rule of the Chel family and the political state ruled by them.
He was originally a nobleman, the son in law of one of the principal priests at Mayapan. Another priest Ah Xupan Nauat married his daughter Namox Chel to Mo. He is said to have foreseen the destruction of the League of Mayapan, and he fled with some followers to Tecoh near Izamal, where he established an independent state. He named the nation Ah Kin (high priest, literally means is from the sun) Chel (from his last name, a way of naming used by many Kuchkabal).

He may have founded his capital in Tecoh because of a pilgrimage he had once made to the coast in that area. He also believed that he could recruit followers there more easily.

I trying to do a drawing of a girl and I'm having some trouble with getting the nose to what I would like it to look like does anyone have tips/tricks for drawing noses?
The less you draw the better it will look! Let the eyes make the shaping. Just indicate the nostrils, for example. Try to work with shadows. No sharp lines!
try scanning your drawing without a nose and printing a few out. Then after drawing a nose on a couple pick the best two and if further ajustments are done pick the best one If you are still struggling draw people from life more. good luck!!
