Defending encryption is a human rights issue, according to a new Amnesty International report. The report calls on nation-states to promote the use of encryption tools as part of their international human rights obligations to protect the privacy of their populations.
In the digital age, access to and use of encryption is an enabler of the right to privacy. Because encryption can protect communications from spying, it can help people share their opinion with others without reprisals, access information on the web and organize with others against injustice. Encryption is therefore also an enabler of the rights to freedom of expression, information and opinion, and also has an impact on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly, association and other human rights. Encryption is a particularly critical tool for human rights defenders, activists and journalists, all of whom rely on it with increasing frequency to protect their security and that of others against unlawful surveillance.
Because of the critical role played by encryption in enabling the enjoyment of, among others, the rights to privacy and freedom of expression, restrictions on access to and use of encryption, constitute an interference with the enjoyment of human rights. As such, any restrictions on encryption must be contained in laws that are precise and transparent, must be used only when necessary to achieve a legitimate aim and must not discriminate against specific individuals or groups. Critically, any measure interfering with encryption must be proportionate to achieving the legitimate aim for which it is imposed, and the benefits gained through the adoption of such measure must not be outweighed by the harm caused, including to individuals and network infrastructure and security.
Amnesty International believes that laws and policies that prohibit the use of particular encryption services or tools as such, prohibit the deployment of encryption outside of government-sanctioned specifications, or which require individuals to seek government licences prior to using encryption, amount to a disproportionate interference with the enjoyment of the rights to privacy and freedom of expression. Such measures not only deprive all individuals in a particular jurisdiction of the ability to effectively secure their communications, they also prevent individuals from freely and confidently accessing the internet and other digital technologies, and can have a "chilling effect" on freedom of expression and access to information.
Measures to oblige corporations to backdoor the encryption used in their products or services (affecting all users) constitute a significant interference with users' rights to privacy and freedom of expression. Given that such measures indiscriminately affect all users' online privacy by undermining the security of their electronic communications and private data, Amnesty International believes they are inherently disproportionate, and thus impermissible under international human rights law.

At today's British Academy Film Awards there were some expected wins (Boyhood) and some unexpected overhauls (The Grand Budapest Hotel), while one Oscar snub got their comeuppance (The Lego Movie). The Brits gave love to their own by bequeathing a couple of awards on The Theory of Everything, while The Imitation Game went home empty-handed. Stephen Hawking, himself, even made an appearance handing out the award for Visual Effects to a standing ovation.
Nothing too surprising, but a few satisfactory awards to those who will likely not find gold come February 22nd at the Oscars.

Q: Tab not working on Microsoft Word 2011 I'm not sure what's going on here, but whenever I go to a new line, tab doesn't work.  It doesn't work in other lines of the same paragraph either, but if I go back to a previous paragraph, hit tab, delete the tab in that paragraph, and then go down to where I want the tab, it lets me do it.  But then the problem will pop up again in the next paragraph.
How can I fix this problem and what is causing it?
After further experimentation, I've found that just clicking into another paragraph and clicking back does the trick, most of the time anyway.
After even more experimentation, I've discovered that by inserting a blank line at the end of the document, I can solve the problem for the most part.  It usually only occurs when I'm trying to put a tab on the last line of a document.  However, this isn't a perfect solution and I'm still having the issue sometimes.

A: I experience the problem of tabs not working when making math tests. The problem is very repeatable, and can be replicated in the following simple experiment:

*

*Get a new document and set one tab (say a left tab at 3.0 inches).

*Type "Solve " and insert a formula, say "2x=6".

*Use the right arrow to exit from the formula.

You may now type any non-tab characters that you wish, but hitting the "tab" key does not insert a (tab) character.
To fix the problem, do any of the following after leaving the formula:

*

*Type (spacebar) (left arrow) (tab), OR

*Paste a previously copied (tab), OR

*Click to place the cursor at any point not within the formula, and click to place the cursor at the end of the line. Now type (tab).

My theory is that a flag is set to keep the (tab) character from being used within formulas, and that exiting the formula using the right arrow key does not reset the flag, but clicking outside the formula or backspacing does.

A: It's hard to tell exactly what's going on without seeing the document and Word itself, or maybe screenshots showing the Word window including UI when the problem is occurring, and when the problem is not occurring.  But let me make an informed guess.
Fix the problem by going to the paragraph where the problem occurs. Move the pointer to the blank vertical space just to the left of the text; the pointer will switch to an arrow pointing "northeast" (up and to the right). Click in the blank space; the entire paragraph will be selected. Select Edit... Clear... Clear Formatting. Then select Format... Style...*; the Style dialog box appears. In the list **Styles, select Normal. Then click Apply. The content of the misbehaving paragraph should change, and the tabs should work as expected now.
What I suspect is happening is that the final paragraph of the document is set to some style with unexpected tab stops. Your workarounds have the effect of changing the formatting or the style of the final paragraph, getting expected behaviour. But I expect that the style also specifies that the "next paragraph" will have the same oddly-behaving style. This is why the problem recurs every time you add a paragraph.
The more comprehensive fix is to understand the styles your document uses, and to improve them. Microsoft has a tutorial Format text with styles which might be helpful place to start.

A: In Word, go to Preferences > View > Nonprinting Characters.
Check all the boxes. You might have some special characters that are modifying the behavior of Tab.
Additionally, if you have field codes you might be trying to edit those. Turn on the highlight field code preferences in the same preference pane.

A: Go to Format>>Tabs
  The default stop has been reset to zero. Insert your preference (0.5"). The problem goes away.

A: This problem showed up for me after my bird trotted across the keyboard, so I had to experiment to see what she had stepped on (not the first time!).
What fixed this problem was making sure that function keys that affect repeat times were not turned on.  In Windows 10, search for "keyboard shortcuts" and it will bring up the option "press one key at a time for keyboard shortcuts".  Make sure the Filter Keys option is off.  This removes the function that delays repeated entries (such as double-letters) and will allow you to tab freely again.  It's actually a keyboard setting.

Mama Knows Best! Sandra "Pepa" Denton on the Marriage Advice She Gave Egypt Criss (EXCLUSIVE)
Feb. 28 2022, Updated 11:11 a.m. ET
With growing up comes growing pains, and this is especially true for Growing Up Hip Hop's Egypt Criss. Born to hip hop icons Sandra "Pepa" Denton of Salt-N-Pepa and Anthony "Treach" Criss of Naughty By Nature, the reality star has found herself at the center of controversy in recent years.
In June of 2020, her boyfriend — Sam Mattick — popped the question. However, their engagement wasn't met with congratulations by their GUHH castmates, who have had their doubts about Sam since the start. Since then, the dynamic between the cast has only worsened.
Amid the controversy, Pepa offered her two cents on Egypt and Sam's relationship in an exclusive interview with Distractify. Here's what she had to say.
'Growing Up Hip Hop' stars Egypt and Sam are married! Sandra "Pepa" Denton weighs in.
In late January 2022, Egypt and Sam married in Las Vegas, and of course, both Sandra and Treach were attendees at the intimate wedding ceremony. However, their big day didn't come without trials along the way. Before his relationship with Egypt, Sam fathered two children. Following his GUHH debut, he was accused of being a deadbeat dad, and the drama didn't end there.
Though she hasn't always been Sam's biggest fan, Sandra has had Egypt's back every step of the way. "I am a mom first, and I'm all about the love for my child before the likes," the rapper told Distractify. "I can support her. I don't always have to agree with what she does."
Egypt will always be Sandra's "baby girl," but according to Sandra, now that Egypt's all grown up, "Mommy ain't going to be as accessible."
"Now, I'm gonna have to teach [her] what that means to really be an adult in the real world. But just keep in mind ... it's my only daughter," she said, adding, "I don't want to regret anything." Despite drama in the past, Sandra hopes for the best when it comes to Egypt and Sam's marriage. Weeks after their wedding, Sandra remains unphased by criticism.
Sandra "Pepa" Denton on the marriage advice she gave to Egypt Criss.
As one half of a female rap duo who took over the globe in the late '80s, Sandra is no stranger to the spotlight. Sam and Egypt have been under fire, and Sandra can empathize. "It's a really, really difficult position to be in," she told us.
Though the future of Egypt and Sam's love story is still unwritten, Pepa has faith that her daughter can handle anything the world throws at her.
"If it doesn't work out, you hope your child is strong and doesn't repeat the same mistakes," she added. "You just teach them how to be independent so that, if anything happens to [your parents] or your spouse, you know how to fall back and take care of yourself."
New episodes of Growing Up Hip Hop air Thursdays at 9 p.m. EST on WEtv.

From buying to selling, renting a property or finding the right tenant for your investment, the Shirriff Wells team has helped a wide variety of clients over their three decades of combined experience.
Thank you Andrew for finding my new home within the limited time frame I had. Andrew was always available and kept me informed during each process of a home offer.
Andrew Wells was very professional and always willing to go the extra mile.
We relocated to Toronto and had a very short time frame to find a place. Thank you for your assistance Andrew.
Andrew and Lisa went above and beyond in ensuring I was able to get a place within my budget in a place I wanted – all of this without me having to commute to Toronto from Waterloo which would have taken a lot of time from my busy schedule. The entire process was very well organised and clearly explained, making it so much easier than expected. Thanks!
even called after the deal was completed to ask if we were happy in our new home. We would recommend Lisa to all.
Lisa has always been so patient and kind when helping us look for a place to rent. She is always available and never shows frustration when we are undecided or ask a lot of questions. She remembers details well and she just has a wonderful way about her personally and professionally. We are definitely going to keep Lisa in mind for our future real estate needs!
We dealt mainly with Andrew Wells and so this rating is for him also. They were both very attentive and helpful. They understood quickly what we were looking for and narrowed that search for us. They were also very knowledgeable about the market so we know what to expect when making a decision. While I know how busy they were at the time they were always quick to respond when needed.
Lisa is fantastic. She was able to listen and understand our needs and go above and beyond for us, finding us property's in neighbourhoods we didn't think we could get into in our price range. We will definitely use her services when we are ready to purchase.
I've never had anyone who helped me as much as Lisa had. Every question and every need were met, both professionally and with a smile. Simply put – the perfect realtor.
Lisa was an amazing support – she was completely invested in the process of helping me find a place and never once made me feel like she had anything else to do but help me…she went above and beyond and the minute I had a question or mentioned needing something, she was all over it. I would recommend her 100 times over!
It was a real pleasure to work with Lisa. She was available, attentive and very knowledgeable. I trusted her opinion and advice and would highly recommend her!
Lisa Shirriff is the best! She helped us with everything and did for us far more than we expected from a broker and sales representatives. She is great. I have no words to thank her enough for how much she've helped us throughout the process, which was more complicated than usual because we did it from Spain.
It's clear Lisa is very experienced and knowledgeable. I also liked how quick she thinks on her feet. For example, the landlord wanted me to provide him with post-dated cheques on the 31st of each month, which didn't quite work for me. So she suggested we move it to the 15th, which worked for both parties.
Lisa was extremely helpful! I was new in Canada and had no idea about the process of leasing an apartment and she was always patient and explained everything in detailed. She was also very available and answered all my questions in a timely manner. Thank you so much for your assistance!
Both Andrew Wells and Lisa have been wonderful. They sold my condo a few months before this in 24 hours just before the real estate downswing happened at a great price. I will continue to use them.
Lisa was amazing! She helped us find exactly what we wanted and was very assertive, always meeting us with a smile! When the time comes to buy our own apartment, we'll call her again for sure!
Andrew is amazing at what he does. He is always willing to lend a helping hand whether it be just general real estate questions or helping us find a new rental property or looking at potential first time home buyer properties. We always have confidence dealing with Andrew and always recommend him to anyone looking for a broker.
Lisa has been exceptional throughout my home buying process. As a first time home buyer, she exemplified patience, understanding and knowledge. She was flexible with her time and had a true understanding of the marketplace. FANTASTIC!
I'd like to thank you so much for being there for us every step of the way in the process of purchasing our new home. I still can't believe it really worked out in the end and now despite all the pain, the winning feeling is unbeatable!Well, not only that, the whole experience was amazing and we could not hope for a better professional to be on our side. It has been a really amazing/crazy journey for us since we met 5 years ago after just arriving in Canada until now when we realize the dream of having the dream home to raise our family.We are truly blessed to have found in you a true friend, and to have enjoyed your company during those years. The truth is it has been a lot of fun! And we hope it keeps this way. As for this week's experience, I will only say that sometimes we need to fight for something in order to really appreciate it, and maybe this had to be our lesson this time.And this is the outcome of my thoughts after all! It does feel good getting it out of my chest! Needed to share with you I am really happy to have found the house especially that it happened quite quickly, it certainly saved Max a few knocks in the head!
I just want to thank you for all your hard work and expertise over the last 4 years. Without your help I really don't know where we would have ended up.I know it is a real estate person's job to find people a home, but I don't think most people in your industry get challenged as much as I have challenged you these last few years.Four years ago I needed to rent an apartment that was close to my children, clean and affordable. You came through in 5 days.3 Years ago I needed to find a townhouse to rent that was; near to their school, had a yard for our dog, was comfortable and clean, and also affordable. Again, you came through within a week.2 Years ago I needed to find a home to buy. I had an expanded family, four children ranging from 6-16 and a host of housing and financial challenges. You didn't even break a sweat. With your usual calm professional manner, not only did you find a house in the location we wanted, but it also had the pool I wanted and the separate bathroom and bedroom that the teenage girl wanted. You secured the home at a price we could afford, and most importantly you were invaluable in securing financing. Ours was not a simple mortgage application. Yet with your help and contacts you secured us a mortgage at current rates when every bank had refused us. Now 2 years later our situation has changed again. Lisa, I cannot thank you enough. You have helped us find the home we are going to stay in for the next 20 years. Your instincts were bang on. It is a super deal with exceptional value. All the kids love it as much as we do.I just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you.
Lisa could not have been more helpful. At every step of the way she was exceptional, and went above and beyond the call of duty, nothing was too much trouble. She made the process of my moving to Canada for the first time seamless, I wouldn't recommend any one moving anywhere without her!
It with absolute pleasure that we write this letter of reference for our realtor, Lisa Shirriff. We found Lisa simply by her signs posted on various lawns. We called her, as we did a couple of other real estate agents to "interview" them. We found Lisa to be professional, knowledgeable and extremely attentive. While we had gone through real estate transactions in the past, we really enjoyed Lisa's down-to-earth and practical approach to our needs and requirements. She knows this business like the back of her hand and guided us with ease and kindness. We would highly recommend Lisa and we will most definitely use her again!
Andrew Wells is simply amazing. We have been working with him for numerous years. He always has our best interests in mind. We look forward to working with Andrew again in the future.
Lisa and Andrew were exactly was I was looking for-aggressive and competitive and I am very happy with the sale of my condo. Could not have better agents them- many thanks to them.
Andrew was very helpful in finding us a home within a quick time frame. He was very organized and was able to make a few last minute additions happen for us. We would use Andrew again in a heartbeat.
Andrew's work was amazing! He went beyond what I expected. Congratulations!
Both Andrew Wells and Lisa have been wonderful. They sold my condo a few months before this in 24 hours just before the real est downswing happened at a great price. I will continue to use them.
Lisa was both kind and knowledgable. After having a horrible experience with a real estate agent recently, both Lisa and Andrew renewed my faith in realtors. I can not thank them enough!
We are grateful for the patience and the sympathy.
I work with many real estate agents. I chose Andrew because I knew he would truly care about the process and give me constructive feedback. I appreciate his attention to the details. He follows through with what he says he will do.
We met Andrew at a listing, and liked him immediately. Working with him was the best decision we made during this whole process. He's been wonderful and a very straight shooter.
Andrew has been wonderful during this process. It's been a dream come true.
Andrew was incredible to work with. An old friend of mine noticed that I was looking for a place for this September and gave me Andrew's contact info. I got in contact with Andrew immediately and he offered his help without hesitation. He was extremely friendly and positive throughout the entire process. He was exceptional at always communicating with me and always made sure I was up to date. We ended up finding the perfect place for me and I could not be happier with the place itself and how smooth the process was since Andrew knew exactly what I was looking for. I am very thankful to have been working with Andrew throughout this all, and I don't think it could have went any better than it did.
I've dealt with many agents over the years, and Andrew stands out amongst the crowd. His attention to detail, listening to what the client needs, and willingness to spend the time explaining the in and outs of what goes on with buying or selling your home make him our first choice.
Andrew is the best agent in the world.
Andrew is a caring and attentive agent who made the house buying process fun and easy. In a difficult market he easily found us the home we dreamt of and did not think we would find in our price range. He gave us great advice on what adds value to a house and what could be a potential problem in the future. We highly recommend him to anyone searching for their dream home!
Andrew and Lisa made the process of selling and buying a home straightforward and easy. They took care of all the details, and stayed in touch after the sale was completed to ensure that all was well. I rely on them to keep me informed on area sales, and look forward to working with them in the future. I would happily recommend them to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a property in the GTA.
We first contacted Andrew because he was highly recommended to us by our brother and sister-in-law, and to date, he has helped us with 2 home purchases and 1 home sale. We have continued to use his services because he is not only a very knowledgeable real estate agent, but because he is one of the nicest, most genuine people we know. During the home-buying process, he always worked around our schedules and gave us honest advice about the places we were viewing. We never felt pushed or pressured, and he made sure we were well-informed about all aspects of the buying and selling process before any transactions were made.
Andrew and Lisa were both great. We really valued their input throughout the process. They both provided us with the information we needed to move forward with the purchase of our first home.
Andrew and Lisa were very supportive throughout the process.
Thank you Lisa and Andrew for helping me find my dream home!!!
Andrew was a great help in assisting me throughout the process. Was always patient and offered advice as he identified where I needed.
Finally found our first home. Thank you for your knowledge, time and patience with us being first home buyers. We couldn't be happier.
We bought our new home with Lisa & Andrew and was thrilled with the level of service and professionalism from them both that we also had them list our condo which sold within a week.
Lisa and Andrew, we embarked on the real estate journey together over 3 years ago. They helped me maneuver the market and evaluate each property I went to visit. Finally to help me move quickly on my dream home in the area I always wanted to live-Riverdale. These two never put you under pressure, they just want you to make the right purchase when it's right for you. They are truly full service with contacts for everything you need for buying and selling your home! They are beyond 5 star!
Andrew was able to help me find the perfect new home and never gave up when offers were declined due to competition. Thank you for your efforts.
This is the second time using Andrew and Lisa and would not hesitate to use them for our next investment.
Both Lisa and Andrew were very accommodating with last minute showing requests, late emails asking questions, and were able to find us our next home quickly.
Andrew was always available to answer any questions I had related to The Toronto Real Estate Market. He was able to assist and find us the perfect new home within the short timeframe we had. Thanks again for all your hard work.
Andrew was able to bring me an exclusive investment opportunity that I could not pass up on. Very quick and efficient service from start to finish. Would not hesitate to refer to friends and family as well as use him again, thanks!
Both Lisa and Andrew were wonderful to work with. We met them through our neighbour who listed her property and sold quickly. They put a lot of time and effort in finding us our perfect new home and we know we are in good hands with our upcoming condo listing. Many thanks to both of them.
Both Lisa and Andrew were very helpful and professional throughout our whole transaction.
In the many times, I have worked with Andrew I have always been impressed with his work ethic and how hard he works to ensure we were taken care of. He is very personable and took the time to understand what our needs were as a young family and would always give us his opinion on whether or not he thought a particular space would work for us or not. Andrew is an excellent agent whose top priority his that satisfaction of his clients. I will definitely continue to use and recommend Andrew as an agent for any future real estate transactions.
We've worked with Andrew many times in our with rentals in the city and always love working with him. He is a great source of knowledge and always comes through for us. We always recommend him to our family and friends.
Lisa was always trying to solve my needs, she is very dynamics and has a positive personality. Thank you for helping me find a home.
Very professional, understanding our needs and was available to answer any queries throughout whole process and stood to her reputation.
We had great time today and have to say that Lisa is much more than just a true professional realtor and through pleasure to be in her company.
I deeply appreciated Andrew's attention to detail when viewing places. He was always available to answer any questions or help with requests we had. Looking for a house is exhausting and can be frustrating and Andrew made this experience so much easier for us.
Andrew was absolutely outstanding. He was prompt, polite, personable, knowledgeable and very quick to answer emails and any questions, including on weekends. He was also very open and frank in providing his opinions of any particular property, something which was very appreciated for us who are relatively inexperienced. He went out of his way to accommodate us. I would highly and unreservedly recommend Andrew to anyone who is looking to rent a unit in Toronto.
Andrew was exceptionally knowledgeable, proactive and supportive throughout the process. I personally wouldn't work with anyone else.
They were both very professional and handled everything on a timely basis.


#51 - John Wilder: A Creative Force with Three Lives • Where Hollywood Hides... the home of classic TV, movies, music, & celebrities!
Few showbusiness professionals can lay claim to the track record of acclaimed TV writer and author John Wilder.
Having amassed hundreds of credits as a writer and producer for his work in television and film, John is the creative force behind such iconic television fare as Spenser for Hire, Return to Lonesome Dove, The Streets of San Francisco, The Yellow Rose and the epic adaptation of James Michener's Centennial.
Centennial: the most ambitious mini-series in TV history!
In this informal conversation with Bob & Suzanne, John recounts his very early start as a child actor, landing a gig as "the youngest announcer in radio" and as a regular cast member on The Jack Benny Show.
You'll hear how John worked his way into television and film acting, appearing in early teen movies and as a regular guest performer on dozens of shows like Broken Arrow, Wagon Train, and The Real McCoys.
But John's overall creative instincts were stronger than his acting ambitions.
Chuck Connors with the young writer.
As so often happens in show business, it was a personal connection–this one with Chuck Connors, star of TV's hit western The Rifleman—that led to his first television writing gig.
From that point on, John wrote and produced some of the most iconic TV series of the era, winning multiple Writers Guild of American and Emmy nominations, the Chicago International Film Festival Award, a pair of Western Heritage awards, and a trip to the winner's circle for Outstanding Teleplay for Long-Form Series at the Writers Guild of America's Awards.
Listen carefully to this interview, and you'll hear John outline for you his blueprint for Hollywood success and creative longevity. You'll also get the inside story on Nobody Dies in Hollywood, John's gritty debut novel–a compelling and rapid-fire read that rubs the reality of headline crimes against the underbelly of Hollywood at its glitzy best and introduces a uniquely contemporary hero into the literary private detective genre.
This candid interview tells the unique story of John Wilder, a man who has literally "led three lives" with careers as an actor, producer-writer, director, and now as a major novelist. He's truly a remarkable talent, and hearing him tell his own story is both entertaining for fans of his work and inspiring for those hoping to follow in his footsteps.

I had considered playing this period myself. It had several benefits for me. It allowed me to overlap with some of my English Civil War figs with limited issues as well as my pirates figures.
Yeah, I noticed that alot of pirate models are equipped for the 17th century. They could easily be used as militiamen.
I got my Brigade Games order today—nice! I think the Indians could even be used for gaming FIW or AWI. Sure, their gun stock's are designed for the 1600s, but you'd probably never notice looking at them from above the table.


Cape Town - It has been less than a year since using cannabis at home was made legal, and now Cape Town is hosting the largest cannabis expo on the continent at the GrandWest Arena.
The expo which runs until Sunday has more than 100 exhibitors showcasing a variety of cannabis-related products and services from all sectors in the industry including health care, medicinal, growing, harvesting and processing technologies, product retailers and innovators, legislation groups and government departments.
"The Cannabis Expo is not just about the recreational, it is not about promoting the notion of getting high, but rather has a focus on having a central, controlled place where experts in the industry impart valuable knowledge, make available cannabis-related products and educate and inform South Africa and the world about this vast industry," said director Silas Howarth.
Tickets cost R145 and are available at Computicket.

Q: Can you save your progress in the Grognak minigame? The Fallout 4 minigames can be long enough that you might not want to complete them in one sitting - can you 'save' your progress in them some how?
In perticular there is a holotype game with Groknak which seems to be long.

A: The game saves your progress automatically when you quit.
To be certain all your progress is saved correctly, be sure your character is located on the overworld (the map where you can move your character). Once you boot up the holotape once again, you'll have the option to continue your game:

Your character will be located outside of the tavern, where you started.

Almost here……
So nearly four years on and my book is finally here. Not launched yet, but we are now just a few days away. Just a few tweaks to the distribution and then we're off!
Today I went to the publishers to collect some copies ready for The Fertility Show and as Zac was off school poorly today, I had to take him along with me for the drive. Somehow, it was meant to be that he should have a high temperature and be off school today. Afterall, if he hadn't been such a wonderful, beautiful boy, that meant the world to us, we would never have been on this crazy journey in the first place. It felt like a nice full circle closing, (though of course grumpy pants didn't think so and is actually all rather bored of 'mummy's flippin book' at the moment!)
I've seen a draft version in print before and that was a thrilling moment and it was exciting to tear open a box with Jason and give him the first official copy – note to self, he's not paid me yet!. But perhaps the real 'WOW' moment for me today was seeing a stack of the books in the warehouse and the first palette all boxed up. This was more than 'my book' it was a bloody great big pile of books all ready to be dispatched to anyone who wants to read it, all over the world. My stomach lurched and it really was a moment to remember! "Bloody Hell!"
Getting a book published had been on my Bucket List for a long long time. It's almost unbelievable and too much to take in to realise it can now be crossed off! But this last couple of years has turned into much, much more than just trying to tick off an entry on my Bucket List. It's become less about my story and more about the story of Secondary Infertility. Two words that I had never even heard off when I first added 'book published' on my Bucket List. Two words I'd never heard off when I started, and ended, my fertility treatment. Two little but significant words that changed my life forever.
Of course I'm excited about getting the book finally published, holding it, seeing what it actually looks like after all these years in the planning. With regards people reading it however, I'm really quite nervous about looking into the whites of people's eyes that I know, after they have read it, knowing they will have seen into the depths of my heart and soul – it's quite a frightening thought in someways. The obvious excitement is also tinged with a little anxiety!
Yet truly, the most thrilling prospect today is sitting back at my desk and seeing all the feedback on Twitter and Facebook from couples (mostly girls) who want to read the story and who I know will feel comfort and understanding. They are the ones it was written for. They are the ones I imagined each night as I tapped away. I wrote 102,000 words detailing our story but really I just wanted to say "you are not alone, you should not feel guilty, it's OK to want another baby" over and over and over again – perhaps 102,000 times! Yet that book wouldn't have sold for sure, and writing about our most intimate moments and thoughts, seemed to be potentially a more interesting read. We'll certainly find out over the next few months!…….
So my excitement tonight is a little premature. This is a personal achievement for me for sure but it's not really crossing the finish line until the book is in the hands of someone who it was written for, who needs it, who will benefit from it. When they put it down and sigh saying "I finally feel understood" and toast that freedom with a large G&T then I will really be able to WHOOP WHOOP!
To remind myself of the very last paragraph in the book:
And finally thank you to the publisher who turned me down and said "There isn't a market for this book." You lit a touch paper in me I never knew existed and prompted me to prove you wrong. There is unfortunately a huge market of couples across the world that will sadly appreciate, buy and benefit from this book and it is my intention to reach them. They may not know it yet, they may be unaware of the name of their condition, but without your rejection it would never have been my mission to tell them.
What I really wanted to finish that paragraph with was FUCK YOU!! #fingersalute

Wow what an amazing achievement!! I'm so excited to hear how this goes for you. I love reading novels on true stories, so I'd read this even though I'm single and would have no idea if I even have infertility issues. And don't worry about having people read all the nitty gritty and intimate details of your life. If I could ever meet the authors of some of the personal stories I've read, I'd greet them with admiration, rather than judgement 🙂
I had a really similar experience as you with a book publisher, who told me (to my face no less) that there was no market for my book!! I broke down afterwards but then became equally determined to publish it anyway. I totally agree that we should end our novels with FUCK YOU!! #fingersalute

Aaaw lovely to hear from you Millie. Thank you for your note. I really hope you get your book published and the best of luck with it! Best wishes.

Home Technology What apps can you actually get on Huawei's App Gallery?
What apps can you actually get on Huawei's App Gallery?
Huawei is moving past Google – by not adding the Google Play program shop and Google Mobile Services (GMS) on its phones.
It was true of the past year's Mate 30 and Mate 30 Guru as well As the brand new P40 Series. New Honor phones are also changed although most of the phones still operate a variant of Android using Huawei's EMUI 10 user interface.
The situation isn't of Huawei's own earning. The present US Government has made no secret of its own distrust of essentially anything Chinese and has barred US companies from dealing with Huawei – a trade ban.
The backdrop for this is that it does not need huawei iap Well-priced and well-used community equipment has been rolled out and has prohibited Huawei from using any US technology. From the UK we have lately seen this manifest itself at a complete ban on Huawei 5G media equipment that comes to play from 2027.
The trade ban has experienced a knock-on impact for big US Companies such as Google, which will be losing earnings – despite Microsoft apparently being granted carte blanche to maintain selling Windows into the firm, as seen with all the recently-refreshed Huawei MateBook X Guru and Honor MagicBook. As of ancient 2020, Google seems to have applied for an exception to the ban.
But It Might Be too late since Huawei now seems hell-bent About making a success of its app shop out China.
Why App Gallery can be a success in the UK and Europe
As you'll notice, Huawei's App Gallery is quite different from Google's Play Store in relation to what it provides but it is no fledgeling – that the shop has approximately 420 million active users from a total of approximately 700 million Huawei apparatus users.
Such a large userbase is possible because Google providers Are not pervasive in China like they're in the usa and Europe. In case you've got a Huawei telephone in China, you have long-used App Gallery endorsed by Huawei Mobile Services (HMS). In total, Program Gallery is offered in over 170 nations already, across 78 languages.
That places Huawei in a very Exceptional place – unlike Microsoft, Samsung and many others who've tried and tried failed to make rival app shops, it is not starting on the rear foot.
However, Huawei chief Richard Yu advised us in the Mate 30 launching Last September the telephone manufacturer would jump back to Google immediately if the trade ban be lifted.
When asked about how long it may take Play Store apps seeming On the handset when a ban was raised, Yu responded instantly "Over one single night. We can do this instantly."
However, Huawei's ethos appears to have changed since then though. There's been a massive acceleration of Huawei's present long-term plan to set up its own program shop out China.
What apps are available on Huawei's App Gallery?
The Fantastic news is that Huawei is unquestionably persuading some Titles to come around to App Gallery. Microsoft is becoming involved as is Amazon. Additionally Deezer, Lufthansa, TikTok, AA, JD Sports, Adidas, Booking.com, Trainline, Viber and Opera have programs on the Shop. Quantity is not really an issue on App Gallery, it is caliber.
There is also a good maps program, supplied by Here. Huawei Additionally elevates some programs to'Hero Status' which essentially means'need to have'. Deezer is the most recent program to get this standing in App Gallery.

I have an object FDWeek, which in turn has an array of FDDays (7). I'm trying to save the week and its days, but end up with only the week and nothing in the FDDay table.
If I check the wee before saving, it looks OK with its 7 day object in the array.
Here is the code for saving the week.
You should save the days using the relations API.
The result of the bulkCreate operation is the array of the saved days objectIds.
I will have a go at that later.
The days save nicely, thanks Olga. But I'm having problem with relating the week to the user.
As you can see, the user is entered as 'member' in the function.
I've tried a few variations, but nothing make OwnerId show up in FDWeek, or under Users.
Would really appreciate any pointers.
The ownerId property is objectId of the current (logged in) user. This property fills automatically when you're saving object when logged in.
This line is incorrect - you can set these properties only using relations.
I'm a little confused - do you need no fill the ownerId property of the FDWeek objects, or set the relations from FDWeek to User object?
This app is a little;e different as so far as it's a 'back office' in macOS. So I don't have a logged in user, hence I was passing the user into this function. It's the currently selected member that I'm creating the week for.
The week and days is only the start of the structure.
and then. make a search using DataQueryBuilder.
Anyway, ownerId is a system property and you cannot set it manually.

Q: F# Parse Excel File Into Tuple Array I have a follow up question on this post.  I would like to take the contents of an Excel spreadsheet and put it into a Array of tuples where each tuple corresponds to each row in the spreadsheet.
I started with looping though the entire range like this:
    let path = "XXX.xlsx"
    let app = ApplicationClass(Visible = false)
    let book = app.Workbooks.Open path
    let sheet = book.Worksheets.[1] :?> _Worksheet
    let content = sheet.UsedRange.Value2 :?> obj[,]
    for i=content.GetLowerBound(0) to content.GetUpperBound(0) do
        for j=content.GetLowerBound(1) to content.GetUpperBound(1) do

But strikes me as very inefficient.  If there something in the base API spec out of the box that I can use?
Thanks in advance

A: The Array2D module implements some common functions for 2D arrays.
I am guessing you want to use Array2D.iter or Array2D.iteri to replace your for loop.

A: The straightforward way to convert each row (of a two-dimensional array) to a tuple (in a single-dimensional row) is to finish what you started - just iterate over all the rows and construct a tuple:
let tuples =
  [ for i in contents.GetLowerBound(0) .. contents.GetUpperBound(0) ->
      contents.[i,0], contents.[i,1], contents.[i,2] ]

To do this, you need to know (statically) what is the length of the row. This is because F# tuples are fixed-length tuples and the length is checked. The above example assumes that there are just 3 elements with indices 0, 1 and 2. If the length is dynamic, then you probably should continue using 2D arrays rather than a list of tuples.

A: Another option is to bypass the Excel engine altogether.  There are a couple of ways of doing this, but the one I've had great success with is 'SpreadsheetGear'.  It isn't free (bring on the downvotes), but it replicates the Excel API very closely and is very fast.


Back home. Back in my garden. And it's Friday.
Time for a little TGIF . . . garden-style!
T - Thinking About silver linings.
First, it was super annoying to have my air conditioning break down. Then, I had to dig up large swaths of my garden to facilitate installation. But, now that it's done, I'm actually . . .
Not only for new (and functional) air conditioning (because YAY), but also for this "clean slate," which allows me to re-fresh yet another garden bed!
Now I'm totally . . .
Because I have this collection of plants to play with all over again. (My poor, displaced plants).
It's like re-opening an almost-new box of paints. And, really, won't that be . . .
Sometimes it feels like Major Overwhelm. Then I need to talk to myself and remind myself that . . .
This is the way gardening works.
I couldn't wait to get out there again when it was never-ending winter.
Here are three little tales from my garden this week.
I have more work to do out there -- a bit more thinning-out and some planting-in. We placed three big rocks in the newly-opened area to remind me NOT to overplant. I'm happy with the new path -- and I want to keep it open and functional.
On impulse, I bought 'em.
But once I had them at home, I couldn't figure out where I wanted to put them.
So they hung out on my patio - in their original plant containers - all summer. I took care of them, of course. I kept them watered and sheltered while I tried to figure out just where they might fit in my garden. But, by fall, I realized they were going to have to overwinter on their own, still in their little pots -- and I was completely prepared to just let them go.
The photo above? The same lilies (in the same pots) today. Resilient little suckers, non?
I love my allium blooms . . . hovering there each spring over the newly-unfurled hostas in my garden. It always looks so magical. And it did this year, too. For like . . . one day! I didn't even get a picture this year . . .
You see, allium are spring blooms. They like gently-warming days. You know . . . the kind you usually get in, oh . . say, late May? Cool nights, warming days. That kind of thing. And the blooms will last for weeks under those conditions.
This year? We went from mid-50s to upper-90s in the same week! Those allium? Super confused. From bloom-to-done in a couple of days this year.
Head over to Carole's for more Three on Thursday posts today.
. . . look like rain.
But that's just fine by me!
It's so good for my thirsty, growing garden.
And wet soil makes it much easier to pull weeds.
And it gives me a perfect excuse to run around in my chicken boots.
"Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful. They are sunshine, food, and medicine for the soul."
Now that SPRING has decided to show up around here (thank you!), I'm scrambling out in the garden. There is so much to do out there . . . that sometimes I just spin around, not knowing where to begin.
But then I just begin.
After three big days in the garden . . . my nails are crap, my arms are totally scratched up, and my back is tired.
BUT. I'm also better, happier, and more helpful!
Flowers are magical -- and gardens, indeed, are medicine for the soul.
. . . look like renewal.
Spring is coming, my friends. I can see it in my garden.
Last fall, I ordered 6 amaryllis bulbs from White Flower Farm. Bulbs from WFF are stupidly expensive -- but worth every penny to me. I consider it an Investment . . . in my health and well-being during the Dark Months.
Now, every amaryllis is a beautiful amaryllis -- don't get me wrong. I have purchased many a box-store or grocery store bulb over the years, and I have enjoyed their blooms immensely. But they tend to be rather short-lived, and in my experience, seldom get another bud after the first is spent. That's why I started ordering my bulbs online. (There are several other great online amaryllis sources out there. I just settled on WFF. It's where I order all my bulbs -- spring bulbs like daffodils and tulips and the amaryllis.) When it comes to blooms -- color, variety, bloom-time -- you really do get what you pay for.
I like to have some sort of amaryllis blooming beginning in January and continuing right on through February. They do an amazing job at brightening up my house -- and my spirits. This year, my choices are doing the job splendidly. One of the bulbs is just now opening for its first bloom, and two of them are in the process of blooming from their second set of buds.
This year, I think my blooms may take me all the way into March.
You see, I have two other plants that I thought were finished after their initial set of buds. They started putting out their leaves, which is usually a sign of "done-ness." But the other day, as I was giving them a water, I noticed these . . .
Each plant has a second bud coming.
Be sure to hop on over to Carole's today to read more Three on Thursday posts!
. . . look like digging!
I've got a whole lotta bulbs here. Tulips and daffodils and grape hyacinths. Plus some crocus and snow drops.
Lucky for me, it's raining again.
Which will make it much easier to dig down and plant these babies.


She and a senior group will be launching a new firm in the next one or two days. The Podesta Group appeared in the special counsel's investigation into Manafort's finances.
On Monday, the world watched as Manafort and Gates turned themselves in to the team led by former FBI Director Robert Mueller and that Papadopolous had pleaded guilty to lying to FBI investigators, but it also learned that Podesta, a Democrat, stepped down from his lobbying firm the Podesta Group after being drawn into the investigation by the counsel as well.
Podesta's brother Tony Podesta walked away from the Podesta Group as the lobbying group comes under scrutiny for its connections to former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort's shady Russian business deals. What he know (s) about Crooked Dems is earth shattering. According to Politico, the firm recently lost some clients, and brought in $4.8 million in the third quarter of 2017, down from $6.1 million in the third quarter of 2016.
The inquiry is reportedly into Podesta's work for the European Centre for a Modern Ukraine, which was not disclosed until after payments from the group to Podesta's firm were discovered by the press.
John Podesta's emails were among those leaked by Russian hackers following their entry into the servers of the Democratic National Committee in October 2016.
Why did he step down from the Podesta Group? In the past three decades it's become one of the most profitable lobbying shops in D.C. While John spent most of his career in government, Tony gained influence as a bundler, hosting lavish fundraisers at his home in Kalorama and donating almost $1.2 million to Democratic candidates over the years.
The resignation of high-powered Democratic lobbyist Tony Podesta from the firm bearing his name follows a string of failures by him to disclose his advocacy for foreign entities that put him under the microscope of special prosecutor Robert Mueller.
Podesta's remarks came after Trump raised questions on Twitter about the lobbying firm that Podesta co-founded with brother Tony and its lobbying ties to Russian Federation.
The firm makes an appearance in the Manafort indictment as "Company B". The ECMU, however, was in fact supported by the Party of Regions, the pro-Russia political party of the ousted Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, for whom Manafort lobbied in the US. Another source told Politico he said he "doesn't intend to go quietly", but he "needs to fight this as an individual, but doesn't want the firm to fight it". "The Podesta Group has fully cooperated with the special counsel's office and taken every possible step to provide documentation that confirms compliance with the law". It subsequently amended its required filings. "The ECFMU provided formal certification that it was neither funded by nor directed by a government or political party".
Other services like Airbnb, StubHub, EAT24, Instacart, Papa John's, Deliveroo , and many more become a part of the program soon. Developers need to add a few lines to their existing code to enable Google's newest creation on their apps and websites.
A detective in the Florida panhandle had an unusual call Wednesday, when she had to capture a 9-foot-long Anaconda . A police officer and a giant snake faced off in Leon County, Florida, and the officer walked away victorious.
He added: 'I think that her statement in itself is very disrespectful in her country'. "Well, I'd like to see it end". Trump said during a freewheeling Rose Garden news conference with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
Left with just 1:08 and no time outs, Rivers led his team all the way down to the Patriots' 23-yard line. Curiously, especially given the weather conditions, Los Angeles chose to attempt a 51-yard field goal.
The country's first high-speed Tejas Express boasting of Wi-Fi, LCD screens, and automatic doors, was flagged off on May 22. Ambulances were requisitioned and they were admitted to a local hospital and are under observation, IRCTC stated.
The secretary of state insisted that he has a strong working relationship with the president without any name-calling. He makes a decision, there's a mutual respect, and they go forward.

HomeHorticulture helps refugees
Horticulture helps refugees
As the bloody conflict in Syria enters its sixth year, there is little hope that Syrian refugees who have fled to Jordan will return home in the near future. According to World Vision Canada, Jordan is hosting approximately 1.5 million Syrian refugees.
The presence of so many displaced and vulnerable people living in limbo in the Hashemite Kingdom is placing a heavy strain on host communities. However, one of the best ways to stabilize Jordan and help displaced vulnerable people is by providing resilience assistance. In an interview last year, Helen Clark, administrator of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), explained that resilience assistance goes "beyond relief to actually supporting people to stand on their own feet."
The UNDP and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) are jointly responsible for the Regional Refugee and Resilience Plan (3RP). According to Clark, the focus of the plan is to create livelihoods, vocational training and access to credit for refugees. Getting marginalized groups into the workforce and supporting basic services are also major priorities.
On Feb. 4, the United Kingdom will host the next international conference on the humanitarian crisis arising from the war. The London Conference on the Syria Crisis will generate much-needed pledges of financial support for the resilience agenda. When it comes to formulating resilience strategies, the United Nations should look beyond government and traditional humanitarian organizations for innovative ideas.
For example, a newly established independent charity in the United Kingdom has put together a promising proposal for a project that would advance the resilience agenda in Jordan. The Hope through Horticulture project aims to teach refugees occupational skills in agriculture, horticulture and animal husbandry.
"We have involved people from a range of backgrounds — health, engineering, etc.," explained Richard Byrne, one of the project's organizers. He is a food security and livelihood specialist at Harper Adams University in the United Kingdom. "The project is a response to the dire situation that many refugees fleeing the Syrian conflict find themselves in within refugee camps in Jordan," Byrne said in an email.
"While the Jordanians and aid agencies are meeting their needs, this is an attempt to improve their lives and help them build on skills and develop new ones." The project, if implemented, would focus on women and children. "There are many single-female-headed households in displaced persons centres — and this would aim to be a safe space where they could gain skills," Byrne explained.
"For children — they are vulnerable to a number of threats: exploitation, criminality, radicalization — this would give them an outlet and hopefully help with their education." Byrne also views the project as "a vehicle to develop skills across the board — to help people find a new pathway."
For example, the project would "combine practical horticultural skills with numeracy, literacy and basic business skills," states the project's summary document. "Additionally, we know from numerous studies that agriculture and horticulture have many more benefits than just food and that they can bring positive mental health benefits," said the professor.
"What we are trying to do is bring a form of care farming to the refugee locations. We see the project as having three pillars: nutrition, mental health and education." Syrian refugees are having a very tough time making ends meet. Prohibited, for the most part, from working legally in host communities, refugees and/or their children must seek work in the underground economy, working in exploitative conditions for meagre wages.
But they have little choice. Last year, due to chronic underfunding by the international community, the World Food Programme was forced to slash food assistance for Syrian refugees, leaving many families without enough to eat. Malnutrition is not uncommon in refugees. Not surprisingly, supporting small-scale farming is one of the objectives of the UN resilience agenda. For that reason, the UN should take a good look at the Hope through Horticulture proposal.
The project would begin by helping families or groups grow produce — such as tomatoes, eggplant and zucchini — in containers. "As the project builds, we will introduce chickens, which will help the fertility of the soil, introduce water collection methods, poly-tunnels and help people scale up," Byrne said of the charity's plan.
"Ultimately, we should enable people to grow, preserve, sell and swap produce." There isn't much space in the refugee camps for farming. Byrne understands this challenge and has the expertise to overcome it. He teaches integrated land management, which he describes as "how to best use land for production, environment, soil, water, landscape, etc."
"Due to the constraints of land quality, water and climate, emphasis will be on the development of small-scale intensive production utilizing such concepts as permaculture," states the summary document. But what is permaculture? Permaculture, explains Byrne, is "a way of looking at what you are growing and promoting interactions between plants, livestock to gain production benefit while promoting soil fertility, water and energy efficiency."
In a nutshell, permaculture is "very much about replicating natural ecosystems — and it works very well in limited environments — where climate, soil, water are not ideal." According to Byrne, there are successful permaculture models in such arid environments as Australia, Malawi and Zambia. "We have some Jordanian partners who would be the principal enactors of the project, and we would be there to assist and do the 'donkey work'," he said.
The project has yet to be approved by the United Nations. However, Byrne stated that the project has received "positive feedback" from British officials and "organizations directly involved with Syrian refugees who recognize the need to deliver sustainable multi-output livelihood responses to the crisis." What is needed to make the Hope through Horticulture project a reality?
"Money is one thing, but ideally this needs to be taken up by an international organization or NGO," Byrne replied. "We are seeking sponsors principally from the agricultural industry," Byrne said. "Farmers are a global community," he added, noting that the project has "already had some great offers of assistance."
And he's hopeful that it "can gain support from some agri-business companies." Byrne said that he and the other architects of the project "have all worked in development or humanitarian relief and are conscious of the need to build resilience in communities, maintain skills, and allow people to live in dignified lives and contribute."
The Hope through Horticulture program is an intriguing idea, and it should be, if implemented, expanded to include not only refugee camps, but urban areas, as well. According to World Vision Canada, most refugees in Jordan are living in host communities or urban areas. Similarly, the UNHCR estimates that only 20 per cent of the Syrian refugees registered with the UNHCR are living in refugee camps.
Hope, work and dignity are perhaps the most important benefits refugees would derive from the project. "Working in agriculture, I've seen what it can do for people — that connection with the soil, accomplishing something tangible," Byrne said. "When you first taste a homegrown tomato — it may be smaller than the supermarket and a wonky shape, but it tastes so much better."

On January 1, 1973 Exxon formally replaced the Esso, Enco and Humble brands of motor fuel and related products. From 1972 until 1999 Exxon was the corporate name of the company known as Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, or Jersey Standard.
Exxon announced its intention to move its headquarters from its location at 1251 Avenue of the Americas in Manhattan to Las Colinas near Irving, Texas. The old headquarters, the Exxon Building, was sold to a unit of Mitsui Real Estate Development Company Ltd for $610 million in 1986. According to John Walsh, president of Exxon subsidiary Friendswood Development Company said that Exxon and its 300 employees were relocation to Texas due to the high costs of having their headquarters in New York City.

HOME > Standards Development
Committees of volunteer technical experts are the heart of the AAMI standards program. Each AAMI technical committee and US Technical Advisory Group has a defined scope of work and operates under established policies and procedures.
An AAMI technical committee makes recommendations concerning the need for new standards and other technical publications within its area of competency and expertise, determines when a document needs to be revised, drafts new and revised technical documents, and develops committee and public consensus on those drafts. Other duties, which occur less frequently, include developing consensus on official interpretations of standards and advising AAMI on responses to government initiatives and other public policy matters within the committee's area of work.
U.S. Technical Advisory Groups (TAG) develop national consensus on International Standards and Technical Information Reports (TIR) out for comment or vote. TAGs also make recommendations regarding other aspects of international standards participation such as U.S. positions on international new work items, formation of US delegations to international committee and subcommittee meetings, and nomination of US experts to international working groups.
Many AAMI committees review international documents, within their subject matter area, to determine whether to adopt them as national standards or AAMI TIRs.

Happy Friday friends!!! Can you believe it is the last weekend in January??
But for some reason, this year it didn't feel quite as long to me. So I am counting that as a win!!
Although I am not a huge fan of the cold...if it's going to be cold, I hope that we have snow too! We have not really had a good snow storm this year, so we were excited to get our first big snow last weekend. The kids were pumped to finally be able to get out there and play.
And it looked so pretty the next morning!!
I am happy to have snow through February and then I am done!
She got both the top and bottom and has been such a trooper working through the first couple sore days!
Yesterday I shared what I have been priming. I mean it's always fun to see what random things people order to their doorstep! Check out my prime finds here, like this cute sweatshirt.
I made two favorites for dinner this week. First up was this amazing Vegetable Marinara from A Healthy Slice of Life. The best part is I had a lot of sauce with this recipe, so I froze half and can pull it out for an easy dinner some night!
Then I made this Shepherd's Pie. A lighter twist on a Winter comfort food.
We have a quiet weekend...just one basketball game, and lots of playing in the snow!
Have the best weekend friends.
See you Monday, there is always room for one more at our family table.
Hope the kids are enjoying their snowday (just saw Orchard Park schools are closed,we haven't gotten anything down our way) :) That shepards pie looks yummy will have to try to make it sometime.Enjoy your weekend!
I can't imagine the day my little ladies get their braces, such a milestone! I might just need to Prime that sweatshirt to my house ASAP- thanks for sharing so many great favorites!

This year has been a special one for me as it was our 10th year in business! I had dreamed of being a photographer way back in high school. Put off by my careers counselor in year 9 who told me I was being a bit too ambitious and should think of something else, it took me many years to get to the point where, in 2007 (ten years after leaving high school and many adventures around the world) I was ready to launch my own photography business, which has now evolved into photography and video.
Ten years on, I'm so proud to say that dream is alive and thriving. It's been lots of hard work, lots of fun, lots of creativity, learning, exploring, taking risks, failures and successes. I can't wait to see where the next ten years takes us!
