Nettie McCormick
What would you do if someone gave you ten million dollars? Buy your dream house? Quit your job? Sail around the world? While it may be fun to dream about these possibilities, most of us will never actually be faced with a problem or decision of this nature. Nancy Fowler McCormick was one of the few people who actually had the opportunity to answer such a question.
A Serious Childhood
Nancy, whose childhood nickname was Nettie, was born February 8, 1835, in Brownsville, New York. Her father was a merchant who owned a store in Brownsville. A mere seven months after Nettie's birth, her father was killed in an accident involving a skittish horse. Nettie's mother, Clarissa, ran the store for several years, but she died in 1842 when Nettie was seven years old. Nettie and her brother, Eldridge, were taken to Clayton, New York, and raised by their grandmother Maria Fowler.
Even as a child, Nettie was very serious. Like the Puritans of old, she kept a journal where her introspection, self-examination and soul searching were given free reign. Her childhood was colored by the early death of her parents, and she wondered if she too would die young. These ponderings, however, led her to action. Life was short, and she needed to make hers count for something! Christ's parable of the talents was a daily reminder that "to whom much is given, much will be required." She dedicated herself to the daily service of God. Nettie was not interested in the frivolities of youth. She believed that her youth should be spent preparing for the business of life, not misspent in idleness. In her diary, she wrote, "How my bark [boat] hurries down the dark stream of time!" Even as a child, Nettie never believed happiness was the primary goal of her life. She wanted to live her life in service to God and others.
Nettie was very active in her church. She sang in the choir and played the melodeon. She was thankful to God for the opportunity to regularly attend Sunday school. Though she lived a comfortable life, she felt the suffering of others who were less fortunate than she. While attending the Troy Female Seminary, the seventeen year old Nettie wrote to her brother, "It has been very, very cold here today--Oh my heart bleeds for those who are turned out of house and home this stinging cold night." Because she longed to accomplish something great in service for humanity, Nettie scorned the fashionable pleasures of society. In her own words, "Usefulness is the great thing in life--to do something for others leaves a sweeter odor than a life of pleasure."
When Nettie Met Cyrus In 1856, twenty-one year old Nettie met Cyrus McCormick while visiting relatives in Chicago. Despite their twenty-five year age difference, Cyrus realized that Nettie was the woman with whom he wanted to spend the rest of his life. Forty-six year old Cyrus had worked hard all his life and made his fortune from his patent of the mechanical reaper. At first, Nettie was hesitant to marry Cyrus, but he didn't give up. He told Nettie, "I do not think there is a man in the world who would strive more to please you than I should do--no one whose disposition and manner would be more under your control and influence than mine as your husband." Cyrus and Nettie were married on January 26, 1858.
Nettie was determined to be a good wife to Cyrus. She promised herself that she would "always sympathize with my dear husband. I will support him. I will be his guardian angel. Do as he wishes." However, Cyrus' business took him away from home and Nettie was often lonely. She consoled herself that duty was more honorable than enjoyment. Confiding in her journal, she wrote, "It sounds very easy, but it is not easy to be really good--and always put forth the best effort--to study wise words, to say the right thing in the right place. This is not easy."
Because she was orphaned at the age of seven, Nettie realized the important role parents played in a child's life. She tried to be the best mother she could to her children. She realized they would be watching their parents and learning from their example. She knew that she and Cyrus needed to live the Christian life for their children to see. Every word and act would shape the lives of their children. "Now the clay is soft and the vessel may be molded for honor or dishonor." Both Nettie and Cyrus required strict obedience from their children. They believed that disobedience was the flower of evil seed "that lies in human nature."
Incredible Trials Nettie was soon busy raising and caring for her children. However, when her third child, Robert, died in 1865, Nettie felt that God was punishing her for her sin of slothfulness and procrastination. She had two more miscarriages, and one of her daughters died as an infant. Then two of her remaining five children were afflicted with mental illness. Whatever her sins, this seemed like excessive punishment, and Nettie struggled with her feelings that God was dealing harshly with her.
When the great fire swept through Chicago on October 23, 1871, McCormick's machinery factory was destroyed. Cyrus was ready to retire, but Nettie insisted on rebuilding. She soon became the driving force behind the rebuilding of McCormick Harvesting Machine Company, encouraging Cyrus to maintain his supremacy in reaper manufacturing. Nettie consulted architects, selected building materials and oversaw construction of the new plant, which opened on February 3, 1873. As Cyrus aged and his health declined, Nettie assumed greater control over the family's business and philanthropic affairs. When Cyrus died in 1884, Nettie was left with a large fortune. She realized that this was a trust to be used for the Lord.
Philanthropy at Home and Abroad
One of Cyrus' interests was theological education. In 1859, he donated $100,000 to finance the removal of Hanover Seminary to Chicago, where it was renamed McCormick Theological Seminary. Nettie continued to fund buildings, furnishings, repairs and scholarships at the seminary. She felt there was nothing more important than investing in young men who would preach the gospel. In 1905, Nettie and her sons established an endowment to pay the salary of the seminary's president. All told, the McCormick family donated more than four million dollars to the seminary.
Cyrus also funded Tusculum College, a southern mountain school in Tennessee. Because of this, Nettie developed an interest in other southern schools, where she encouraged domestic science and manual training. She also helped establish Christian churches and Sunday schools in the region. Nettie's interest in Christian training for young people led to her support of John Mott and his worldwide travels for the Student Volunteer Movement. John Mott once said that Nettie was "Christianity in action."
Nettie's philanthropy spanned a wide variety of interests and projects, both large and small. She supported the ailing wife of an Italian immigrant pastor and provided funds for dental work for the son of a director of college projects. She also sent money to the director of a Tennessee orphanage to enable him to "lay down" his work "for a little while and go away from home." She also made large gifts to numerous educational institutions in the United States, including Moody Bible Institute and Princeton. Foreign causes interested her as well. Nettie made gifts of at least $25,000 for the first building of Alborz College in Teheran, for a hospital in Siam, and for theological education in Korea. She gave $2,000 to establish the first women's hospital in Persia. From 1890 until her death in 1923, Nettie McCormick donated $8 million (over $160 million today) to hospitals, disaster and relief agencies, educational institutions, youth activities, and churches. She became a leading benefactress of the Presbyterian Church in America.
"The Glory of My Master" Nettie once remarked to a friend, "Yes, money is power, as you have said, but I have always tried not to trust in it, but rather use it for the glory of my Master." Ultimately, it was not her wealth or the money she gave away that made Nettie the great woman she aspired to be as a little girl. Her simple trust in God was her strength. From experience she could write, "We plan--and God steps in with another plan for us, and He is all wise and the most loving friend we have always helping us."
Cyrus McCormick: A Businessman with Christian Principles
"I want everyone who is on Christ's side to stand up." The speaker looked across the little Virginia church as people stood up. Cyrus McCormick did not stand. When church let out, he went home to bed. His dad came into his room. "Son, don't you know that by being quiet you are rejecting Christ?"
Cy had not thought of it that way. He rode to his friend Billy McClung's house. Everyone knew Billy was a Christian. "Billy, how can I know Jesus?" he asked. Billy showed Cy that he must confess his sin, right any wrongs he had done to others and commit himself to following Christ. Next Sunday, Cy stood up in church and told everyone he had given his life to Jesus.
That summer, Cyrus helped with the reaping, just as he always had. It was hard work and he grew tired. Even with everyone in the family helping, the wheat began to go bad. Cyrus knew that what farmers needed was a machine that could reap the wheat quickly, so it wouldn't go to waste. He tackled the problem with new ideas.
After a year of invention and experimentation, Cyrus finished his reaper. The invention soon proved itself, and he took out a patent on it. About all the patent did was give him standing in court. Many people stole his ideas. He had to fight legal battles the rest of his life. The only way to make money off his invention was to make a better, cheaper reaper than anyone else. He learned how to do that and was an important figure in the development of factories and franchises in America. His Christian principles found their way into his business practices, and one biographer said it was impossible to separate Cy's religious life from his business life.
Cyrus McCormick and his mechanical reaper.
He invented a paddle wheel that pressed wheat against the cutting knife, which had teeth like a saw. There was a swinging platform for the cut stalks, which kept its position even in a bumpy field. A flat board separated the stalks that were being cut from the grain left standing and a heavy wheel carried the machine and powered all its moving parts at an even speed.

Mary Cropsey, a teacher fired for insubordination, filed a lawsuit against the School Board, school Superintendent Roger Dearing and Mills Elementary Principal Mike Rio this week.
Cropsey seeks monetary damages for loss of employment and alleged humiliation, age discrimination, damage to her reputation and denial of her constitutional rights.
Last year, administrators accused the third-grade teacher of tampering with her pupils' work on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test. When they refused to let her have her attorney present during an interview, Cropsey declined to cooperate. The School Board cleared Cropsey of the allegations but recommended she be fired for insubordination.

Vuitton opens LV Dream and reveals plans for hotel, amid Bernard Arnault splurge in Paris real estate
Louis Vuitton unveiled LV Dream its latest art installation in Paris on Tuesday evening, located in a building it eventually plans to turn into a hotel, amid a real estate spree by patron Bernard Arnault.
The LV headquarters in Paris - Getty Images
The news of the Vuitton inn emerged in the midst of a recent property splurge spree which has seen Bernard Arnault acquire three buildings in Paris at the total cost of some 900 million euros.
The French luxury multi-billionaire apparently acquired the properties from the estate of Claude Dray, who passed away in mysterious circumstances in 2011, according to French business weekly Challenges.
Bernard's new addresses are certainly prestigious. Starting with 22 avenue Montaigne, which just happens to be the headquarters of the luxury group, and location of Arnault's main office. This 18,700 square-meter building (16,000 square meters of offices and 2,700 square meters of shops hosting a Louis Vuitton boutique) was 60% owned by the Dray family and already 40% owned by LVMH.
The second building is located at 7 rue de la Paix, between the column of Place Vendôme and the Opera. It offers 3,100 square meters of offices rented to several tenants and 500 square meters of shops occupied by the watchmaker Piaget. Finally, the third building is located at 12 place des Etats-Unis in the 16th arrondissement and offers 5,600 square meters of offices rented to the avant garde fashion house Martin Margiela.
Which, ironically, makes Arnault the landlord of Margiela's creative director John Galliano, the man he once fired as designer of Christian Dior a decade ago.
Vuitton's real estate plans in the French capital will focus on turning the brand's corporate headquarters into a complex that will include a debut Louis Vuitton hotel and its largest store worldwide.
Vuitton's parent LVMH has already radically overhauled the once funky 1st arrondissement neighborhood located close to the less than salubrious shopping mall Les Halles. Eighteen months ago, LVMH unveiled the radically revamped La Samaritaine super store and Cheval Blanc hotel, which became instantly fashionable.
Vuitton, however, remains vague about when it will open its debut hotel, which will be parallel to Cheval Blanc on the right bank of the Seine overlooking Pont Neuf. There is plenty of room to grow, seeing as the Vuitton headquarters is in a building with a whopping 36,000 square meters.
LV Dream - Louis Vuitton
The 2,000-square-meter LV Dream exhibition, which opened with a patisserie pop-up run by Maxime Frédéric, the head pastry chef at Cheval Blanc Paris, instantly closed. Though it will reopen on December 12 for one year, with a gift shop, and a show space highlighting the brand's collaborations with artists.
A total of nine rooms in LV Dream features designs by the likes of Jeff Koons, Cindy Sherman, Takashi Murakami, Richard Prince and Yayoi Kusama, in addition to previously unseen portraits of founder Louis Vuitton by Alex Katz. Vuitton is predicting over 2,000 visitors a day to LV Dream, where entry is free.

The new revolutionary water theme park, Universal's Volcano Bay, is now open at Universal Orlando Resort in Florida. Volcano Bay is Universal Orlando's third theme park and the next chapter in the award-winning vacation destination's evolution. Universal Orlando is part of the NBCUniversal Comcast family, which has invested significantly in the destination's unprecedented growth. In just seven years, 25 new experiences – entire themed areas, attractions, restaurants, and hotels – have been added across the destination. Universal Orlando now has 5,600 rooms across its five (soon to be six) on-site hotels.
The park's first guests gathered inside the new water theme park to enjoy an authentic, South Pacific dedication ceremony commemorating the opening of Volcano Bay. The ceremony featured special performances by an array of authentic Maori entertainment, ranging from water dancers to Haka war dancers. The moment culminated with an eruption from the mighty 200 ft. Krakatau volcano – the park's stunning icon.
Volcano Bay was brought to life by Universal Creative, the same team responsible for bringing so many other groundbreaking experiences to life within Universal Studios Florida and Universal's Islands of Adventure. Volcano Bay is a next-level water theme park combining spectacular storytelling and incredibly immersive guest experiences with innovative technology exclusively designed for Universal to give visitors a fun-filled, hassle-free experience with their friends and family.
Spanning 25 acres, Volcano Bay features something for everyone. Volcano Bay is unlike any other water park in world. It offers an immersive environment filled with unbelievable detail and innovative technology to enhance fun and remove hassles. Private cabanas are available as well.
TapTu Play: Guests can enjoy many TapTu Play experiences throughout the park – like controlling streams of water spurting from whales in Tot Tiki Reef, shooting water cannons at guests snaking down Kopiko Wai Winding River, illuminating images in the volcano's hidden caves and more.


Scott Clark's crew finished harvesting in Goodland, Kan., and has been looking for more wheat to harvest while waiting for the crop to mature in South Dakota.
Weather is rarely predictable. However; many people in northwest Kansas could have probably told you it was going to rain this last week. The sky has been filled with clouds and a storm has been rolling through this area every evening for the last 10 days. Some areas have seen over five inches of rain, while Texas, Oklahoma and parts of southern Kansas seem to be exceeding 100 degrees each day with no rain in sight. We managed to finish our job in Goodland on Friday before another storm arrived. That seems to be a common theme for us this year as we've finished three stops just prior to major storms. The wheat made 60 to 85 bushels per acre and tested 60 to 64 pounds per bushel. These yields put a smile on the face of all involved with getting the crop out of the field, and into the bin.
Another big storm moved into the Goodland area on Saturday and rotation was even sighted prompting the tornado sirens to sound throughout town. We parked some of our vehicles under sheds and stayed near the tornado shelter. Finally the sirens ceased and the storm moved on, producing nothing more than rain, strong winds, and small hail.
It's frustrating that the weather has so much control over our business and decision making, but when wheat is dry enough to be harvested we can't let anything stop us from getting the crop out – including wet ground conditions. We invest thousands of dollars in our combines to equip them so we can run in seemingly impossible conditions and each day we have to wait brings another chance of a storm that can damage or destroy a crop.
As a service provider there's nothing worse than having a client lose his or her crop and knowing you could have done something to prevent it. Being farmers ourselves, we understand the importance of getting the crop out quickly. Even a light rain will cause a decrease in the crop's test weight and hurt the farmer's bottom line. Sometimes there just isn't anything you can do about losing a crop, but at the end of the day—we'll always know we did the best we could and if we couldn't get the crop out, then no one could have.
We'll begin moving some of our equipment up to South Dakota later this week and begin polishing truck wheels and waxing the paint off the trucks to stay busy until we find some dry wheat to cut.
Combines roll across the field harvesting 80 bushel wheat near St. Francis, Kan.
After finishing the last field of our Goodland stop, a combine maneuvers out of the field and heads for the farm.
The combines rode back to the home base before the rain arrives.
A storms looms overhead—many storms have come through the area in the past several days.
The crew poses for a quick picture while sporting their new AAWH Crew shirts. Left to Right: Randy, Kevin, Justin, Garrett, Dalton, Jesse, and Travis.

Raja Ali Khan Adil Xah IV fou sobirà farúquida de Khandesh, germà de Miran Muhàmmad Xa II i successor del fill d'aquest (i nebot d'Adil Xah IV) Hasan Khan, al que va desposar poc després de ser proclamat el 1576. El seu nom era Raja Ali Khan però va agafar el nom reial de Adil Xah IV.

El 1577, Akbar va enviar un exèrcit cap al sud que va forçar a la submissió de Khandesh. El començament del 1586 Akbar va sol·licitar a Khandesh el lliure pas pel seu territori per envair Berar i Ahmadnagar i Adil Xah IV va acceptar però secretament va acordar amb Berar el seu ajut quan fossin atacats pels mogols. El 1586 Mirza Aziz Koka Khan-i Azam, governador mogol de Malwa, va envair Berar però Khandesh i Ahmadnagar es van unir i el van rebutjar. El 1591 Akbar va enviar a Abu l-Fazl a Khandesh i Ahmadnagar; en aquest darrer sultanat, Ismail Xah havia assolit el poder amb el suport d'una facció antimogol dirigida per Jamal Khan; Akbar va donar suport als que s'oposaven a Ismail; fou gràcies a Adil Xah que els mogols van obtenir la victòria decisiva de Rohankhed (abril o maig del 1591), en què Jamal Khan fou mort i poc després Ismail Xah fou capturat i tancat per ordre del seu pare Burhan Nizam Xah, cap de la facció promogol, que va pujar al tron acceptant la sobirania mogol; així Akbar intervenia al Dècan, agafant com a vassalls a Burhan Nizam Xah II a Ahmadnagar i Adil Xah IV a Khandesh; en endavant Adil Xah IV va sostenir la intervenció indirecte dels mongols al Dècan segurament pensant que era millor que la intervenció directe.

Però a la mort de Burhan Nizam Xah II (abril de 1595) la noblesa d'Ahmadnagar es va dividir i una part va cridar als mogols per assetjar a l'altra facció a Ahmadnagar. Adil Xah IV a contracor es va unir a les forces mogols i la ciutat fou assetjada (desembre del 1595 a març de 1596). El setge va acabar amb negociacions que van establir la cessió de Berar a Akbar, però la pau no fou llarga, ja que van esclatar disputes sobre els límits dels territoris cedits.

El febrer de 1597 les forces mogols van rebre el suport d'Adil Xah IV de Khandesh (que havia rebut un alt rang (mansab) de l'emperador, per enfrontar a una coalició d'Ahmadnagar, Bijapur i Golkonda. Es va lliurar la batalla d'Ashti o Sonpet en la que Adil Xah IV va morir (5 de febrer de 1597). Els mongols que no sabien que el sobirà havia mort, sospitant que les forces de Khandesh estaven desertant, van saquejar el campament de l'exèrcit khandeshià. Adil Xah fou enterrat a Burhanpur.

El va succeir el seu fill Kadr Khan o Khizr Khan, que va pujar al tron com a Bahadur Xah.

A list with potential wonderkids in the new Football Manager 2022 game.
Wonderkids! We all love them! Every year each Football Manager website will post the best and biggest wonderkids available in the game. We are not any different and we will be adding the wonderkids filter to our FM22 player database once the game has been officially released.
To look ahead to the release of the game, we have used our very own FMI Update to find several amazing young players who weren't in Football Manager 2021. The players you see on this list do not feature in FM21 and are likely to make their debuts in te game. The screenshots that we use are from FM21 and the information and attributes could be different from the ones we will see in FM22.

Luka Romero - Lazio
The young Luka Romero filled the headlines world-wide two years ago when he made his debut for Real Mallorca aged 15 against none other than Real Madrid. Much is expected from the talented attacking midfielder and he has already been compared to the likes of Lionel Messi and Sergio Aguero. He has been picked up by Italian side Lazio and the Italians hope that the youngster will develop into one of their leading players in the coming years.
Angelo Gabriel - Santos
A new Football Manager would not be a new Football Manager if we don't have any great young Brazilians in the game. Angelo Gabriel is the next in line to become a true FM great as the talented winger is definitely one to watch in FM22. His club Santos is one of the key producers of young talent in Brazil and Angelo could be reaching the heights of Neymar, Rodrygo and Robinho. He will be 16 when you start the game (depending on your start date) and it will be interesting to see if he wants to make the move to Europe right from the start.
Kaide Gordon - Liverpool
English giants Liverpool have a great history when it comes to producing young and talented footballers. Over the past few years the youngsters at Liverpool did have some difficulties breaking into the first team but with the presence of Jurgen Klopp, talented players like Harvey Elliot and Curtis Jones have been offered their chances on the first team. We are expecting the same to happen to Kaide Gordon. The 16-year-old winger is considered as one of the leading talents from Great Brittain and he could be ready to make his debut for the Reds during the 2021/22 season. In Football Manager 2022 your best bet will be to sign him on loan as Liverpool will demand a hefty fee.
Jaden Slory - Feyenoord
Feyenoord has one of the best youth academies in the world and the Dutch club has a good history of producing top players, including Georginio Wijnaldum and Robin van Persie. Jaden Slory could be a true top player in Football Manager 2022. He is a small but very quick winger and he has the versatility to play on both sides. At the age of 16 he won't be included in Feyenoord's first team at the start of a new save, but he certainly is one player to put on your shortlist right away!
Matheus Franca - Flamengo
To close this list we have decided to put in a second Brazilian, Matheus Franca. This youngster has all the attributes needed to become one of the best midfielders in the world. He is good on the ball, has great vision and has the ability to score a goal. He has displayed his skills playing for Brazil U15 and U16 but also for Flamengo's youth teams, scoring 14 goals from 25 matches as a central midfielder. We are expecting much from Matheus in FM22 as he looks to be a very talented midfielder and he could be one of the bargain deals as he is still on a youth contract at Flamengo.
Other notable FM22 Wonderkids
The release of FM22 will bring dozens of new wonderkids into the game. Below you will find a list with other possible FM2022 wonderkids.

Ultrasound outperforms x-ray for neonatal pneumothorax
By Theresa Pablos, AuntMinnie.com staff writer
December 23, 2020 -- Lung ultrasound (LUS) scans outperformed chest x-rays for diagnosing neonatal pneumothorax in a new review that included more than 500 newborns. Ultrasound achieved better sensitivity and specificity and took less time to perform, according to the December 16 study in Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology.
Pneumothorax is a common but life-threatening illness seen in neonatal intensive care units. While CT is the gold standard for diagnosing pneumothorax in adults, chest x-ray is the preferred modality for newborns in order to reduce exposure to ionizing radiation.
Still, chest x-ray has its limitations for neonates. Newborns are especially at risk for latent effects from repeated exposure to ionizing radiation, and it can be difficult to detect pneumothorax with chest x-ray.
Instead, lung ultrasound may be the better first-line imaging modality for diagnosing pneumothorax in infants. Not only does ultrasound not expose infants to ionizing radiation -- it also appears to be more accurate.
"LUS is a new choice for the diagnosis and treatment of neonatal [pneumothorax]," wrote the authors, led by Qiang Fei, PhD, a professor at Zhejiang University School of Medicine in Hangzhou, China. "Compared with [chest x-ray], ultrasound combines the advantages of bedside diagnosis, avoidance of irradiation, cost-effectiveness, high accuracy, and reliability."
For the review, Fei and colleagues reviewed both Chinese- and English-language databases to find prospective studies investigating the diagnostic performance of chest x-ray and lung ultrasound for neonatal pneumothorax. Eight studies with a total of 529 infants met their inclusion criteria.
Lung ultrasound performed better than chest x-ray in the review. Ultrasound netted a sensitivity of 98% and specificity 99%, compared to 82% and 96% for chest radiography. Furthermore, ultrasound achieved an area under the curve of 0.997 and was faster to perform in five out of the eight studies.
The authors also calculated the diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) for both modalities -- a measurement of the effectiveness of a diagnostic test where higher numbers represent more effectiveness. Lung ultrasound achieved a DOR of 920, while chest radiographs had a DOR of 45.
Chest x-ray vs. lung ultrasound for neonatal pneumothorax
Chest x-ray Lung ultrasound
Sensitivity 82% 98%
Specificity 96% 99%
Diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) 45 920
"[Chest x-ray] is associated with a certain rate of misdiagnosis and is less sensitive than LUS for the diagnosis of mild-to-moderate [pneumothorax], especially in premature infants," Fei and colleagues wrote.
They theorized that chest x-ray may have limited usefulness in this population because the lesions are small and can be deep in the lungs. Meanwhile, ultrasound may be better suited to imaging the thin chest walls and narrow thorax of newborns.
The authors didn't have enough studies to sufficiently evaluate the accuracy of lung ultrasound features for diagnosing pneumothorax. However, the disappearance of lung sliding and B-lines and the presence of A-lines looked promising as diagnostic markers of the illness. In addition, the presence or absence of lung points -- where the visceral and parietal pleural surfaces meet -- looked useful for helping to determine illness severity.
Based on the findings, the researchers recommended lung ultrasound as a first-line modality for diagnosing pneumothorax in this population.
"[Chest x-ray] could be carried out as the second-line procedure if there are doubts about the findings during LUS examination, such as examination of neonates with large-area atelectasis," they wrote.

Country Music Star JessLee Exclusively Dishes On Her Upcoming EP
Country music's rising star and former contestant on "The Voice", JessLee, shares the exclusive scoop on her new single, upcoming EP, and her musical influences.
We first chatted JessLee over two years ago when she was just beginning her career. Since then, she has continued to grow as a country artist and seen unprecedented success on social media having eclipsed over 4.5 million video views in only 4 months on Facebook alone, over 84,000 followers on Instagram, hundreds of thousands of streams on Spotify, and millions of fans worldwide! JessLee has also appeared as a feature on CMT, and has astoundingly charted 47 weeks in 2019 and 2020 on Apple Music's "Country Hot Tracks"! Consistently releasing new music and getting major attention from the industry, this singer-songwriter has no plans of slowing down.
JessLee released a cover of Miley Cyrus' "The Climb" on Jan. 8th. "The Climb" is the first track off of her upcoming EP "21 Jumpstart", that is filled with uplifting covers and originals, to help bring some light to our dark world. This impromptu EP was the brainchild of JessLee who understands the troubles and struggles people are currently having, and wanted to do something to shine a little glimmer of hope in everyones lives. "21 Jumpstart" is set to release on February 12th, and we are so excited!
Read our interview with the powerhouse vocalist below to get the exclusive.
So JessLee, what made you want to release an album with a mix of covers and originals?
2020 was such a hard year for so many people, and I wanted to do something uplifting for my fans! The music we listen to is influencing us every day and I wanted to give my listeners a "playlist" full of hope, inspiration and love to kick off the new year with positivity! I chose my favorite inspirational covers that vibed well, with the same message I wanted to give with my original music.
We absolutely love that! Can you give us an exclusive of songs we can expect to see covered on the album?
Absolutely! It's a four song EP with the lead single being my original, "Strong". It's a song I wrote early in my music career because I wanted to have something of my own to perform at my 501c Non-profit The S.T.R.O.N.G. Program. "Strong" was written and inspired from my experiences of overcoming physical abuse from my father. It's written in a way that any listener can supplement their own hardships they are overcoming to resonate with the song. The EP will also include "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten , "Rise" by Katy Perry and "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus.
Speaking of, we LOVE your cover of "The Climb" (originally by Miley Cyrus). What made you want to release this cover first, and how do you personally relate to this song?
Firstly, thank you SO MUCH! It means the world! I chose "The Climb" as the first release as a "warm up" to what would be coming on the EP. It's been a song that has personally aided me through though times and is such a beautifully written song, something was just nudging me to release this one first. When artists cut songs they haven't written, I like to think at that point they are "interpreting" someone else's experience. "The Climb" (along with the other covers) have always hit me so deeply in my soul, they felt like something I would have written and knew they would be perfect for this project.
Can we expect to see your recent singles, "Over Him," "Do It Like," and "Neighbors" on the album?
As much as I love these singles, they will not be on the "21 Jumpstart" motivational album because they just would not fit the theme of this project. But, I will exclusively let you know these singles will be rolling over onto an album later on in the year, along with tons of new original music! I am so excited to share what I've been cooking during quarantine.
We can't wait! What artists are influencing you right now, and what songs do you have on repeat?
My friends joke around with me saying listening to my personal playlists is like "playing music roulette" ... You never know what you're gunna get! Haha! A good track is a good track to me, regardless of the genre so, at the moment I'm listening to so many different things! But current artists that have me inspired at the moment are Ed Sheeran, Miranda Lambert and Chris Stapleton! I have Miranda's "Bluebird" and Stapleton's "Starting Over" on repeat, all of the time!
We are counting the days until JessLee's new EP, and have high hopes for her future, just like fellow critics and stars. Trace Adkins said of JessLee, "I like female vocals that are just powerful just pow sit you back in your seat." Kelly Clarkson had similar things to say about JessLee. She was quoted as saying, "JessLee is amazing, she is a phenomenal singer". JessLee's manager, Steve Virginia, a 15 year music industry veteran, said, "JessLee is flat out the best female vocalist I have ever heard live! No offense to Carrie, Martina or any of the other iconic female singers out there," he chuckled. "Her power and grip on her craft is unparalleled–coupled with the fact that she is one of the best writers in town… mark my words, JessLee will be one of the greatest of all time."
We agree! For more exclusive pop culture news, follow @kbpopculture on social media and keep up with JessLee by following her on Instagram @JessLeeCountry.

I am not so much of an "adult"
as to meet my end in such an unsightly way.
Allow me to get a little "serious" this time!
I'm impressed you made it all the way here.
I'm impressed you went to the trouble of changing your clothes.
However, I never gave you permission to come all this way here.
Stay on the beaten path, will you?
I needed to make preparations to go easy on you, after all.
...Is it just me, or are you saying something really irritating?
I am. I've even said it twice now, using different words.
It's best not to be so stuck-up, you know?
as your manner of speaking indicates.
Why thank you. ...So, where's Tsubakura?
Oh, so you were able to see through my disguise.
You're pretty good at this~.
Well, the details can wait for after we decide who gets first place.
If you want me to answer, I recommend brute force.
...Guess I'll do that, then.
...Your impersonation of Tsubakura was a total failure.
Even more so than I thought.
if you don't even use your full power.
Oops, you found me out.
What's up with you? Who are you?
so why don't I call out Tsubakura themself!
Eh!? No way! They're around here somewhere?
No one came out, you know?
That's strange.... Hm? What's this?
"I got first place! -Tsubakura"
They went on ahead by themself.
Or maybe you're lying about all this?
I see. So they foisted all the annoying parts on me, huh...?
*sigh* ...This makes twice, now.

Q: Kafka Streams SpringBoot binder perform actions after branching I'm using kafka streams in springboot with bindings.
I have to read from one topic and depending of the data I have to write in one of three topics.
for do that I used this code.
@Bean
public Function<KStream<String,GenericRecord>,KStream<String,String>[]> process(Rule processor) {

    return stream->stream
                    .flatMap((K,V)->processor.process(K, V))
                    .branch(topic1,topic2,topic3);
}

This is Ok , but now depending of the topic I have to perform extra actions
For example
KStream<String, Object> resultTopic1=branchFlow[0].flatMapValues(value->value.getResults());
KStream<String, Object> resultTopic1=branchFlow[1].flatMapValues(value->value.getResults()).filter...;

The question is:
Is there a way to do that in functional programing kafka streams with springboot? Can I perform extra actions after branching  in each branch and then join again in order to send KStream<String,String>[].
If I cannot do that, which alternatives do I have?

HONOLULU – Petty Officer 2nd Class Tara A. Molle was recognized as the 2017 active duty enlisted person of the year, and Petty Officer 1st Class Mark G. Camacho was recognized as the 2017 reserve enlisted person of the year for the Coast Guard 14th District during a ceremony at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Friday.
Molle, a public affairs specialist at the Coast Guard 14th District, recently provided strong coverage for the 75th Anniversary of World War II, shooting imagery at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands. While in Guadalcanal beyond her assigned duties she supplemented her Marine Corps colleagues who were shorthanded, providing multiservice imagery used nationally and internationally. Molle consistently demonstrated dynamic leadership and authority through a series of high-level events such as the month-long period following the grounding of the Pacific Paradise off Waikiki and standing as a public information officer during Hurricane Irma in South Carolina and Florida. Most notably, she spearheaded a grassroots boating safety campaign developing an innovative public safety announcement with internationally renowned professional waterman Kai Lenny for National Safe Boating Week.
In addition to her regular Coast Guard duties, Molle consistently volunteered for District 14 community relation's projects providing over 300 hours of on and off-duty time to support the district and various organizations throughout Oahu.
Camacho, a maritime enforcement specialist at Coast Guard Station Apra Harbor, Guam, has had a powerful impact on the station and Coast Guard Sector Guam. To assist with heavy training and workload, he volunteered to accept two separate sets of extended active duty orders. As a result, he mitigated a vacancy gap becoming a key member by serving as a boat crewmember, boarding officer, law enforcement petty officer and law enforcement instructor. As an LEI, he conducted 38 hours of law enforcement techniques, policies, and procedures, which resulted in 11 newly certified members in critical positions. Most notably, he planned, organized, and executed a two-day joint agency law enforcement training college that included Guam Coast Guard units, Guam Police Department Marine Division, and Guam Port Police.
Camacho is a dedicated member of the Civilian Volunteer Police Reserve, a facet of the Guam Police Department. He also dedicated volunteer time to assist with the Annual Kids Care Photo ID event, which provides children's families with free identifying booklets that ensures safety and security of 234 children via a rapid identification method in the event of an Amber Alert.
The EPOY is an annual program run and executed by the Chief Petty Officers, designed to recognize exemplary men and women of the active and reserve enlisted workforce who are top performers and reflect the Coast Guard's core values of Honor, Respect, and Devotion to Duty.


Gondor trees & release, basic information about the coming release of PLotR 2.
I'm happy to present you the first of many trees from PLotR 2 - factions from Gondor.
As you can see, there are many different classes with unique abilities that u will have to discover.
We're also happy to shortly announce a very possible release date for PLotR 2.0, and we know very well that Bannerlord is also coming so fear not, PLotR is very much likely to return on it aswell!
Is there no dedicated script for this mode?
Could you specify what script exactly?
Will this mod need WSE for working?PLS tell me it WONT.
I would have gone maybe with a more local name, like Lamedon Levy or Hunter of Blackroot Vale etc.
There are, just after recruit(levy>recruit).


- I left out the elastic in sleeves and bottom of the shirt and just finished off with a regular hem, which works great - I wish I'd done the bottom hem by hand as I did with the sleeves - I'm actually considering redoing it.
- I didn't quite like the suggested finishing for the collar and bow tie. I used a rolled hem instead, but next time I'll make sure to finish the neck with a bias or use facing for both tie and neck.
I'm very pleased with the way it turned out. I love the silk ( love the fluttery drape!) which I got really cheap at one of those stores here in Paris at the Marché St.-Pierre where they only sell left over fabrics, end of series, often from designers, at really good prices.
I didn't realize it until yesterday when I was looking for something to wear on top of it (it's getting chilly here in the mornings and evenings), but the blouse pairs up really well with this wrap I made last year and which I'd almost forgotten about... A new favorite outfit for fall!

You're Welcome: How Southern Democrats Can Continue to Save Our Nation's Democracy
This op-ed was originally published via the National Newspaper Publishers Association Newswire.
I'm from Arkansas. So it's not hard to imagine how I ended up running a political campaign in Texas. We can all agree now that the South will have a vital role in the future of politics in this country, especially now that preliminary Census results show population growth shifting south. The South has always been important to politics, but the shocking results in Georgia's presidential and Senate run-off races means that national Democrats are paying a little more strategic attention to it. Even though we came up short, the Democrats' closeness in the TX-06 race perfectly captures the changing political dynamics across the South and offers a glimpse into the near and bright future of this region.
As Republican legislatures across the country — and especially in the so-called "red states" across the South — try to ram through over 250 various voter suppression bills to shore up their grip on power, the South runs the real risk of falling back into the pattern of oppression and minority rule and taking the entire country with it. If Democrats want to get serious about building up their base in the South, they're going to need to make the right choices right now.
Sharon McCutcheon via Unsplash
The first key point is that traditional Democratic institutions need to explicitly commit to recruiting and supporting diverse candidates of different races, genders, gender identities, socio-economic statuses, lived experiences, etc . The world is calling for representation that resembles them. Their identity, their existence, their story. Many are answering the call and stepping up, opening their lives and spaces for the opportunity to advocate for their friends, families and communities. And while we all wish we could live in a world where the best candidate wins, no matter how much money they do or don't spend, that's just not the way American politics currently works.
The second key principle is that Democrats need to seriously invest in diverse operatives for these candidates once they recruit them. Candidates like Jana Sanchez are everywhere, but they need major dollars to compete, and that can only be provided through a national Democratic strategy to provide support to the best candidates in these emerging districts. We have seen how investing in resources and support can make or break a candidate's campaign. By providing staff to campaigns that are trained and ready to run and support campaigns makes a huge difference. There are a lot of groups doing training for candidates but we also need to see that support in operatives for competitive campaigns.
Jacek Dylag via Unsplash
The third and final key decision that Democrats need to intentionally build up their state parties and the infrastructure they can provide to great candidates. There's been lots of hand-wringing in recent years about the decimation of state party chapters, and new DNC Chair Jaime Harrison has committed to investing in them. While a key and very important step, we also have to recognize the need for some reputation repair in some of these states. Many state parties have been torn apart from lack of activity and investment over the years. Candidates can only succeed if they have the right training, staffing, and support for their campaigns. State parties are uniquely positioned to equip and provide that for them. Just like Democrats need to think strategically about which candidates they invest in, they need to carefully plan out how those investments are deployed to rebuild some of that decaying infrastructure.
Many races end up close because of the through hard work, sweat, tears, and a whole lot of hope about the future of the South, and what it can do for the entire country. We know that Democrats simply can't hope to maintain control in Washington without it, but we also now know the roadmap to success. It's on national Democrats to follow that roadmap now.
If you don't know how to make that roadmap or how to follow it — don't worry, we can help with that. Set up a meeting with our Engagement Studio today to find out how.

Japanese students visit Sheridan for a two-week long exchange program
Japanese Exchange Students
STORY AND PHOTOS BY MEHREEN SHAHID
Eight Sheridan students will be taking part in a cultural exchange between the college and the Osaka Electro-Communications University this May.
"This is currently an in-house program and we're looking for someone to adopt it to keep it going," said Michael Jones, coordinator of the Communications Culture Information and Technology (CCIT) program.
The group visiting Japan includes four students from the CCIT program, one from Computer Systems Technology—Systems Analyst, one from animation and another from the Game Level Design program, and a student who was a host to a previous group from Japan.
OECU students pay close attention
According to Jones, the exchange trip will cost students $2,500 covering primarily transportation in Japan. The flight to Japan is about $1,500, public transit adds another $300 to $400, "with a few hundred over and above if they want to take back gifts."
The exchange program was open to students from programs such as animation, Game Level Design, computing and within CCIT. Jones hopes that in future years the exchange will be an elective offered to a wider audience tied to specific programs.
The Sheridan students are going in the wake of a visit by 10 Japanese students, a two-week trip that concluded on March 18. The Japanese students were from the Digital Art and Animation, and Digital Gaming programs at the Osaka university.
Sheridan is the only college in North America to have such a cultural exchange program with a university in Japan, said Jones.
"The idea is that somebody will be inspired to come back and study here. Some of our students have gone over there to study in Japan," he said.
Journalism prof. Denni Freedman gives the group a tour of the Sheridan Sun
The Osaka students toured various programs within Sheridan. This year they also went to the Davis Campus to check out technical programs. Jones said some of the students visited the life-drawing class and "they sat down and started drawing. That was great."
The group also took a trip to downtown Toronto and Niagara Falls. The purpose of the tour was to expose the students to Canadian post-secondary education and life in Canada.
"I was surprised, because everything is bigger than Japan," said student Okuda Masaaki, interviewed with the help of professor/interpreter Hitoshi Kanamura.
The students knew a bit of English and could introduce themselves using the customary phrase, "My name is —."
"It is difficult to communication in different language," said Tomoyuki Ukai. "I saw many student works, and they stimulated me."
Exchange students were eager to learn about technology being used by the Journalism program
The Japanese students stayed in Canadian households with volunteers hosting them as part of the exchange program. This helped give them a taste of day-to-day Canadian life. They were given breakfast and dinner at the host's house, but they were responsible for any expenses incurred while sightseeing.
A few of the students were being hosted in residence at Sheridan, and they saw animation and design students hard at work even after classes had concluded.
"I have stayed in the residence and I could know how students studied," said Sari Matsuura. "I could [see] many students working on projects and that's very interesting."
The 10 visitors were impressed with the technology at the disposal of Sheridan students and the work being produced.
"I'm surprised that Sheridan students [is] work very high quality," said Yudai Ochi. "I think I should work harder than before."
Comicon, the annual comic book convention, was one of the attractions the Japanese contingent was lucky enough to visit during their stay here.
"I was surprised, I went to Comicon, and it is almost the same as Japanese events," said Ochi. "I didn't expect [it to be] so popular in Canada."
The students, although tired from their 14-day whirlwind trip, went back vowing to return to Canada for a longer stay.
"I am enjoying Canadian life," said Matsuura. "I'm thinking to come back here for longer duration to study languages, and if I choose to come to another country, it is in Canada."
The interaction between Sheridan and Osaka students inspired the visitors work harder at their studies when the get home.
"I spend time being lazy," said Yo Suzuki. "I didn't take work serious, so I want to be more aggressive for work, and I want to tell my friends to be more serious and competitive for work."

New Delhi. Modi came to power in 2014 when the Union so he on the birth anniversary of the popular leader Jayaprakash Narayan launched MP Adarsh Gram Yojana. But more than two years after passing several lawmakers have not adopted any village. While many members of Parliament for the second period of the perfect plan to choose their own village has.
Adarsh Gram Yojana MP Lok Sabha MPs in their constituencies to identify the village by 2016 and was developed as a model village. Rajya Sabha MPs, they come from the state, there was no village to adopting the model village. Then by 2019, at least two more villages have developed along similar lines to each MP. This means that the tenure of the present government in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha MP Model Village is to make at least three villages. MP model village scheme to improve rural infrastructure and establish in them the values by which they become model villages.
It is also surprising that, according to information reported under this scheme, senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh has not yet selected a village in the rural development minister Jairam Ramesh was the UPA.
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh, in addition to information such as the ones that still have not chosen a village under the scheme. These Digvijay Singh, Anand Sharma, Satyavrat Chaturvedi, BK Hariprasad, Karan Singh and impatient Ranjan Chowdhary. Union Science and Technology Minister, while BJP Dokhrshvrdhn selected villages under this scheme so far has not. Left leader Sitaram Yechury, D Raja, Tapan Kumar Sen and leaders like Mohammad Salim also deemed it necessary to select a village under the scheme. Samajwadi Party leader Ram Gopal Yadav and Janata Dal-United leader KC Tyagi are also included in this list. AIMIM MP Asdudin Owaisi under the scheme so far has not adopted any village.
Despite the start of the second stage of the first phase of 95 MPs have not adopted any village. These are the 44 MPs and 51 Rajya Sabha MPs of opposition parties are mostly. There are many of these leaders who are not a party. The first phase MPs chose not a village, there are many of them who are elected from urban constituency. But in the scheme of the system area in the vicinity of their village as a model village by selecting it can grow.

If you read the last several newsletters, I wrote about how only 1% of the people eligible for bariatric surgery actually get the surgery. To me it seems tragic that so many people are suffering needlessly with morbid obesity and all the associated medical problems, particularly when there is a very effective solution, namely bariatric surgery!
I know from having spoken with so many patients over the years that many people don't pursue surgery because they have inaccurate information or misconceptions about bariatric surgery (in fact one of the reasons I write this newsletter is to get accurate information about bariatric surgery out there!). We are so passionate about this, that we are willing to give away thousands of dollars in office visits in order for patients to come in and find out the actual facts about this surgery and what it would mean for them, and if they would benefit.
The voucher you see above is our "Pay it Forward" voucher and everyone who came to the party got one. You can give it to anyone you like and it entitles them to a free consultation at our office to see if this surgery is something that will make a difference in their life. Don't worry if you didn't come to the party we'll be happy to send you one…or even several. Just call the office and let us know we'll send you as many as you like or you can email me at: drbilof@gsbwc.com and I'll see you get as many as you need.
Let's make sure that 2013 is the year that the people in your life get the gift of health. The voucher is only good until March 31, 2013 so if you know someone who would benefit from this surgery feel free to give them a voucher for a free consultation….maybe it's true, the best things in life really are free!
Have a Happy and Healthy Holiday season and New Year!
The Venetian is a beautiful place. This is my second visit, and both have been for the annual holiday party thrown by Garden State Bariatrics. It's such a juxtaposition to be at an All You Can Eat buffet in a room with 500 plus weight loss enthusiasts.
But looking around, we all seem to be controlling ourselves.
So the group at my table includes a woman that had bypass 3 years ago and her husband. There's a woman that's scheduled to have her band surgery next month. Her husband and 12 year old son are here with her. They are all 3 so excited.
I asked her if she had researched her proteins. She had not. I cringed for her. It took me so long to determine which protein supplements I would tolerate. I knew that my success hinged on my being able to take in my protein, so I started months before my surgery.
I gave her a few websites that I came to depend on while we sat at the table. I failed to give her my phone number, so I only did half my job.
So, I told you that I would be at the party and welcomed the opportunity to say hello. What I didn't expect was that Dr. Bilof called me to the floor to hand me an appreciation plaque for my contributions to the newsletter. I was surprised, honored, and a little overwhelmed. I didn't even hear the applause from the crowd as walked over to shake the Drs' hands.
Immediately thereafter, a woman walked over to shake MY hand. SHUT UP!! I know!!! She said "when she gets to a low point, the article is always encouraging.". Folks, that made my night … that I was able to impact someone's success by capturing a handful of my random thoughts.
We talked at the table about successes and life habit changes. You have to do it. Weight Loss Surgery, in case I haven't mentioned it, requires a lifestyle change. Sometimes it is hard. Sometimes old habits rear their ugly head. Sometimes you need something to remind yourself "I'm not alone".
Tonight, I was surrounded by hundreds of those reminders, and I was proud to be one of your own.
Let's talk more!! I'm the meantime, follow me.
I see every "follow". I read every comment. And I will respond to direct messages. It is my HONOR to do so.
On the heels of the 2012 Patient Holiday Party, this recipe keeps the swing in your step with a little Cajun Spice!

Danny Trejo Developing Sitcom Inspired by His Real-Life Journey from Inmate to Restaurant Owner
Danny Trejo attends "Machete" premiere during Venice Film Festival. Photo by Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images
By Kristen Lopez | 1 year ago
Whether it's selling tacos themed to FX's Mayans M.C. or voicing an adorable gecko on the Disney Channel animated series Elena of Avalor, there's not a whole lot Danny Trejo can't do. And with nearly 370 credits to his name it's amazing he hasn't headlined a show on a major network yet…until now.
It's being reported that ABC is developing the series Food & Familia, a "Latinx comedy" set to star Trejo and created by sitcom veteran Peter Murrieta. The show will follow a father and daughter attempting to reconnect with each other while running a restaurant. Trejo's character, also named Danny, inherits the restaurant from his mother but butts heads with his daughter, Michelle, who feels he abandoned her when he went to prison. The series will be loosely based on Trejo's own life which included several stretches in prison during his twenties.
Right now there is no additional casting short info of Trejo. The series is being spearheaded by the Mexican-Irish showrunner Murrieta who is well-versed in Latinx entertainment, having worked on One Day at a Time, Lopez, and Cristela. He created the series Greetings from Tucson in 2002 based on his own life about a young boy growing up with a staunch Mexican-American father and an Irish-American mother. The series was heavily praised upon release for having a mostly Latino cast though it only lasted one season.
It should be great to see Trejo lead a series like this, especially for ABC which has been embracing diverse depictions of family with Black-ish, Fresh Off the Boat, and Speechless. Hopefully this gets enough traction to go beyond a single season, especially considering Murrieta's passion for telling Latinx stories.
The show is still in development so there are no talks about producing a pilot episode or the chances it will get greenlit as a full series yet.

I'm so excited to introduce you to essential oils and show you how you can get started with them.
Many people come to me seeking safer products within the home, they are tired of using synthetics, and they are curious and looking for more simple and effective homemade solutions. I'm sure you can relate!
for anything now that we have essential oils in our home.
I'm often heard saying "I've got an oil for that!".
I never leave home without a selection of my favourite oils and use them on a daily basis for so many things, including looking after my family.
I know I said it above but I am so excited you are here because I know that you are passionate about finding a more natural approach to your health, self-care and wellness. I just know that you will fall in love with doTERRA's certified pure therapeutic grade essential oils.
If you want to learn more about the opportunity to build a business with residual income as part of my team, click here for more info.
If you have been following The Essential Society for a little while now and you already know what you are looking for, click here to get started.
If you are not yet ready to purchase but want to learn more about essential oils, grab a cuppa and read on.
But what exactly is a volatile aromatic compound?
In short, these compounds are small organic molecules that tend to change quickly from their solid or liquid state to a gas at room temperature. They are called volatile because they change state quickly. When you first open a bottle of essential oil, you instantly notice that the aroma is potent and you can smell it typically even from some distance.
AROMATICALLY - by inhaling directly from the bottle, rubbing a drop of oil in the palm of your hands and inhaling, placing a drop on a shirt collar or pillow, mixing oils in a spray bottle with water to mist over furniture, carpet or linens, using in home-made cleaning products or diffusing in a diffuser.
TOPICALLY - by applying to the affected area of the bottoms of your feet - perfect for spot-treating discomfort or irritated skin, immune support and providing systematic effects.
INTERNALLY - by ingesting oil in capsules (doing ti this way bypasses the mucous membranes). Certain oils have a rich culinary history and can be used as dietary supplements supporting a variety of health conditions.
Why did I choose doTERRA essential oils?
As a new user of essential oils, I wondered what the difference was between different brands. There are many brands on the market and they all differ in price.
After trying a few oils and before ordering the home essentials kit for use by my family and I; I did a lot of research into doTERRA to find out more about them and the products.
I wanted to know more about how they are sourced and tested before using them with my family.
I was extremely impressed by doTERRA's process for sourcing and testing the oils. After learning more I learnt that it isn't always about the testing; you have to look at the whole process including sourcing.
I believe doTERRA's process is better than the others I researched and feel that they are the leaders in this industry because of the lengths they go to, to get the best quality oil in the world. doTERRA's commitment to quality starts way before the plants are even distilled through co-impact sourcing which is explained in this video.
doTERRA's CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade quality protocol employs five different analytical methods to ensure their oils are both pure (extracts contain only the volatile aromatic compounds of a plant) and potent (extracts have consistent chemical composition from batch to batch).
The CPTG standard has been set by doTERRA as there is no standard in place for the industry. The FDA only regulates that therapeutic grade oil has to include 70% pure oil only.
doTERRA also do skin irritation testing to make sure that when it is applied topically it does not irritate the skin – this was super important to me as I have sensitive skin and I wanted to not only use the oils topically on my skin but also on my children.
I believe that doTERRA sets the bar for quality, purity, efficacy and consistency and decided that this was the best brand to use in our home and with my family.
Perfect for adding your favourite essential oils to the lava beads to allow you to enjoy your oils all day long.
Below you'll find the full details on why this monthly order program (LRP) is the best program on earth for receiving free stuff and rocking a healthy lifestyle!

You also have the option to receive commission/referral bonuses for sharing with friends and family – or building your own business, should you choose to – feel free to talk to me about the share program.

Step 6: When a little box pops up asking if you want to set up your LRP, I'd recommend saying yes and setting up your order to ship between the 1st-15th of the following month so you start earning points for free products immediately. You can set up your next month's order over 50PV (100PV if you want to earn commission and share the oils) but you don't have to pay for this order until it ships on the date you choose for the following month.
