text: XU LI LI—Senior Physician Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia and selective eating disorder, where the patients stick to only a few different food items, and refuse to add variety to the diet. Those with severe eating disorder can also experience many psychosomatic symptoms, such as chest pain, palpitation, mood swings, anxiety, insomnia, amenorrhea, and osteoporosis, etc. TCM believes most eating disorders are caused by stress and excessive worry. These negative emotions can hinder the flow of Qi related to the liver, and lead to digestive dysfunction. There are two main types of eating disorders. The first type presents as excessive hunger despite adequate food intakes, while the second type presents as frequent diarrhea, belching, nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite. Bloating and abdominal pain can be associated with either type. I had a young female patient, who purged after each meal to avoid weight gain. She lost about 20kg over time, and a year later, she was anorexic. She couldn't eat. Every time she eats, she would reflexively throw up everything. She experienced bloating, abdominal pain, mood swings, and amenorrhea for 6 months. She had to quit school and stay home. When I treated her, I chose herbs and formulas that sooth the liver and strengthen the digestive system. These formulas are ChaiHu ShuGan San, JiaWei XiaoYao Wan, and ShenLing BaiZhu San. We also treated with acupuncture that focused on the following acupuncture points—ZhongWan (CV12), GuanYuan (CV4), GuiLai (ST29), ZuSanLi (ST36), SanYinJiao (SP6), and TaiChong (LR3). After a few short months, her appetite and menstrual cycle normalized. The above-mentioned acupuncture points can also be massaged once a day as a home therapy. Early stages of eating disorders are not always apparent to others. The condition has often become quite severe when the patient eventually decides to seek care. At this stage, the condition is more difficult to treat, and it takes a longer period of time for the body to recover. Thus, a well-balanced diet and healthy lifestyle are imperative in the prevention of eating disorders. Here are a few lifestyle changes that can be helpful. Establish regular eating habits. Good dietary habits are the keys to nurturing the digestive system. One should eat three meals a day with adequate portion size. Your plate should mostly be occupied by vegetables, along with some lean protein. A variety of fruits and vegetables in the diet ensures sufficient nutrient intake and prevent constipation. One should also avoid stimulating and hard-to-digest foods, such as spicy, fried, and raw food. Adequate exercises. Proper exercises can strengthen one's digestive function by increasing gastrointestinal motility and digestive enzyme secretion. This, in turn, improves digestion and absorption, as well as circulation and metabolism of the digestive tract. Mood stabilization. Avoid mood swings. Good mood equates good appetite, as our emotions play an important role on our appetite, digestion and food absorption.

Studio Office, the leading store of office furniture and equipment, wanted to bring its first ever Stock Clearance to public attention and further promote its products.
The main aim of this campaign was to publicize Studio Office's stock clearance and create a buzz about it. One significant aspect of this process was to ensure that the notion of clearance and the low prices at which the products were sold, did not interfere with the customers' view regarding the quality of the furniture as such, since quality is something for which Studio Office is renowned for.
All the channels of communication were used in order to inform the public about the stock clearance, to promote the products, and to maintain the already existing connection between Studio Office and quality.
Summercliff worked Online, Offline, Above the Line, and Below the Line, creating TV commercials, radio ads, print ads, posters and banners, Google Ads, local portal banners, Social Media Ads, and a Landing Page to divert traffic. Summercliff was also responsible for the email and the SMS promo that accompanied the campaign.
The account of Studio Office is being hosted on our own propriety platform www.berry.social where all the magic happens!

Hi everyone, the following blog was first published here on the 28th February on the www.Scottishfans.org website by Paul Goodwin from Supporters Direct Scotland. We have reblogged it here in case you missed it.
Strange things are happening in Scottish football and the fans are very much part of what can be described as a changing landscape.
In the summer the clubs and the football authorities were told not to treat supporters with contempt and suddenly integrity and consultation became key words in the world of football politics.
With the weight of public opinion behind them and their season ticket money in their pockets supporters managed to drive home the message that they needed to be listened to. It really was the start of something different never before seen in the Boardrooms of Scottish Clubs.
With five senior clubs in Scotland now "fan owned" and operating on the co-operative basis (one member/one vote), those who matter most – fans, supporters, loyal customers – will have a growing say in what will happen in Scottish Football in the future.
This change has been recognised at Hampden Park where both the SFA and the league bodies have really started to engage with fans in a far more meaningful way. In my work with Supporters Direct Scotland it has been encouraging that we really have started to make an impact with our Fans Parliament initiative that provides fans with a voice. If we'd had that voice a few years back then maybe the debate over the new League Reconstruction package might have been more fans' focused. As it stands we hope that the growing importance of supporters is extended beyond the current debate. Most observers recognise that the fans may not get everything they want this time around – bigger leagues or the desire not to have to play each other 4 times a season – but there is much in there for the fans to take heart from such as having one league body, fairer financial distributions, more play-offs, a stronger pyramid structure and hopefully better governance too.
With the potential shift of power towards these super loyal customers it means that the existing dynamic of dependency on a wealthy owner /benefactor (if you have one of them) could be coming to an end.
This creates a unique opportunity in Scotland – with little chance of a profit and a market where very few want to buy a football club, it means that fans' being more involved in owning and running of clubs is here to stay. More than that, it is the future. Who else has a fan's lifelong commitment to their club and an interest in ensuring it is safeguarded for the long term? Fans are the lifeblood of football – not just socially and culturally but economically and there are now real chances to turn that commitment into meaningful involvement in the way clubs are governed.
Clubs such as Motherwell and St.Mirren are already seeing this as a positive step as a long term community strategy and fans of clubs such as Hearts, Dunfermline and Kilmarnock are all desperate to have a say in how these clubs can be run as sustainable community assets. The goalposts are moving fast.
Of course with potential power there comes responsibility and how many times have we heard in the past that the Board of a club should be held to account when they have not taken fans' views into consideration. At the five community owned clubs in Scotland there is already democracy in action. There's no need to be standing outside shouting to sack the Board or to be throwing stones. Instead you just need to turn up at the AGM with your fellow members and vote off for change.
There is no doubt that there is a cultural change under way and that change isn't going to happen overnight. Everyone involved in fan and community ownership is learning about how this new model will work best and how their own club adapts to the change. Like everything else, change takes time to settle and, with every day that passes, new challenges will face everyone involved in a club, including those difficult moments that, ideally, no-one ever wants to see happen.
Today, the Fans Representatives on the Board at Dundee FC, a club that is owned 52% by the community, are coming to terms with a managerial appointment that hasn't been received well by its supporters.
There isn't a Board of Directors at any club in the country that will have received universal backing for a new managerial appointment but what is different at Dundee, and those other clubs that have embraced the fan ownership model, is that rather than being on the outside venting their spleen they have the ability to change, through voting, those representing them in the boardroom. This simply wouldn't be an option with traditional ownership models and it is this level of transparency and accountability which provides the basis for the long term success of the model. If you still need convincing, then you need only look to Germany and the Bundesliga where they have embraced supporter ownership for the last 40 years backed up by robust regulation. Not only has that led to unrivalled levels of financial sustainability but it has also been achieved whilst protecting the interest of fans and attracting the biggest crowds in European football – and they're not doing too badly on the pitch either!
In Germany this structure has been part of the fabric of the game for generations, but here a transition will not be immediate and will not be easy. However, whilst the ownership structure that fans now have may not be the perfect model , at least fans can no longer be ignored and, whether you like it or not, that has got to be good news for the game and for the green shoots of football democracy.

Main Tips for Choosing Office Furniture
You will have to buy new furniture when the business grows. This is not the only consideration to make. You must purchase the best furniture, more so your office tables. If you stick to the below-discussed tips, you will surely land yourself nice furniture pieces.
The kind of office desk you buy must not just look good, but should also fit perfectly in the available space and have room for the drawers. All the workers must feel and walk freely in the workstation for maximum productivity. It is therefore advisable that before buying any office furniture, you consider the kind of office layout you have in the company.
Although the furniture must look good, more importance should be placed on the practicality of the equipment. Therefore, you must first discuss the practicality of the furniture first before thinking about the beauty aspect. Ascertain that the desk has enough room to accommodate your legs and files. Other main functionalities must also be accommodated by your furniture. According to most of the office needs, the standing or regular desks will be ideal to buy. You must get value for your money by buying quality furniture. You should not be lured by the least priced items. Do your research on the top quality furniture and do not be guided by price when buying the equipment. Make sure that the equipment you buy is of the best quality and affordable.
You can buy very good looking furniture but fail the ergonomics test. For instance, some desks are eight too low or too high. Also, you may find very stunning chairs that are not properly made that will cause back issues. Bad ergonomics of chairs and a poor posture are the main contributors of back pains among people working in offices.
You must be very comfortable in your work area. Failing to think about your comfort is a huge mistake. Since you will spend a lot of time seated in your work chair, pick the best kind. In as much as you want a chair that looks good, do not forget to consider the comfort levels as well.
Most people have the misguided perception that buying office furniture is a straightforward process. If caution is thrown to the wind when purchasing office equipment, you will end up buying so many furniture that will be inoperable. It is therefore recommended that you think of what you want before going to the market to buy any furniture. A furniture consultant is better placed to guide you choose the furniture that will meet all your office needs. You can also forego the hectic process and hire an interior designer to sort all your office furniture needs.

DescriptionLantern Bass (Serranus baldwini)
Quick Care Facts
Care Level: Easy
Temperament: Semi-aggressive
Maximum Size: 4"
Minimum Tank Size: 30 gallons
Water Conditions: 72-80° F, dKH 8-12, pH 8.1-8.4, sg 1.020-1.025
Diet: Carnivore
Origin: Tropical Western Atlantic
Family: Serranidae
Species: Basslets
Aquarium Type: Reef Compatible
Species Information
Lantern Bass are a very active and colorful species of "Dwarf Seabass" related to groupers and their larger sea bass cousins. Originating in the Tropical Western Atlantic, the Lantern Bass is often found in rocky areas among weedy marine algae where they hunt for small fish, shrimp, and planktonic life. Similar to Chalk Bass, Lantern Bass are extremely hardy as well as small in size, making them perfect choices for beginners and "nano" size aquariums.
Lantern Bass are relatively peaceful and multiple specimens can coexist well if introduced simultaneously; they aren't usually aggressive with other tank mates, but will often defend their favorite places from new additions until everybody settles in. Lantern Bass are a popular species that are readily available through online retailers and can often be found locally.
Aquarium Care
Lantern Bass are an active species that should be kept in an aquarium that is no less than 30 gallons. They should be provided with plenty of live rock for shelter and territory as well as fine sand to crushed coral substrate. They can be heavy eaters for such a small sized species and in addition to quality biological and mechanical filtration, they will appreciate the water quality that a protein skimmer will help provide.
Lantern Bass are considered to be reef safe and will not harm any coral species, but they may eat tiny fish and shrimp that they can fit into their mouths. Tank mates can consist of multiple specimens if added at the same time and they will usually get along with other species that aren't too aggressive.
Feeding & Nutrition
Lantern Bass are carnivores that mainly eat small fish, shrimp and plankton in their natural environment. They should be fed a variety of meaty food items such as live, frozen, freeze-dried, and vitamin enriched brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, chopped krill, chopped silver sides, and other prepared seafood. They will also accept small pellets and flake foods for carnivores as well as omnivores. Feed 2 times per day.

A still from Frankenstein's beautifully shot opening sequence.
I usually don't blog about academic or teaching-related subjects but I've been blogging about my love of the horror film for some time now. elucidating its roots in German Expressionism, exploring its defining classics, profiling its greatest monster movies, extolling its immortal masterpieces, calling attention to its best recent iterations, effusing about its Gothic incarnations, and even having fun reviewing some of its mid-range entries. So it seems timely and interesting to jot down the list of films I plan to screen in the horror film class I'm teaching this coming spring, with some brief commentary about my inclusions (and exclusions).* Here goes:
I even seriously considered showing Carl Theodor Dreyer's Vampyr (1932), which, despite its oddball, art-film tendencies, is one of the most unnerving and uncanny horror films I can think of. (It is also one of two films -- the other one is The Student of Prague [1913] -- which would most help me teach the concepts in Sigmund Freud's famous essay "The Uncanny," an early required reading selection.)**
Yet in the end I went with Phantom, for two reasons: (1) It is familiar and easy to follow on the story level, anticipating as it does so many of the monster movies that get made in its wake, and (2) Lon Chaney, its amazing star. With all due respect to German stars Max Schreck and Conrad Veidt, Chaney gets my nod for the most important and talented horror film actor of the silent cinema. He more or less sets the standard for what a truly terrifying yet sympathetic monster should be, paving the way for stars like Boris Karloff . . .
Frankenstein (1931, dir. James Whale) and Dracula (1931, dir. Tod Browning). Of these two, I think Frankenstein is the better movie -- it's pretty much the best of the early Universal horror films -- but I could not imagine a syllabus without both. Hell, without Nosferatu in the mix, the Tod Browning / Bela Lugosi Dracula is one of only two bona fide vampire movies I've got!
Night of the Demon). I love the psychosexual dynamics of this film -- it makes the connection between sexuality, ethnicity, and horror quite clear. An exotic (and exoticized / fetishized / animalized) foreign woman (Simone Simon) believes that if she is ever sexually intimate with a man, she will turn into a cat and kill her would-be lover. Nevertheless she falls in love with and marries an over-confident, too-rational American man (Kent Smith) who doubts the reality of her ominous beliefs. Insane erotic-horrific antics ensue.
Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954, dir. Jack Arnold) is my 1950s creature feature selection. As with Cat People, I chose Creature mainly for its unnerving psychosexual and gender(-ed) dynamics. Although I am personally more partial to 1950s entries Gojira and Invasion of the Body Snatchers, there is something tonally and visually special about Creature from the Black Lagoon. The underwater photography sequences in particular are haunting, spooky, and magical -- they get to the heart of the creepy sexuality that drives the whole film. Interspecies lust and sexual terror set in a primeval jungle = thematically rich horror film fun.
Specifically, Hammer's version of Dracula lends the vampire tale a lurid, feverish edge via full color cinematography and simmering sexuality. It is, simply put, a really fun Gothic horror film. Plus it can be used to discuss remakes and adaptations: after F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu (1922) and the 1931 Browning/Lugosi Dracula, the Hammer version is probably the next most influential (and best) filmic iteration of Bram Stoker's novel.
Obviously, Psycho is the more well-known, canonical choice, a truly great film that every cinema lover should see -- more than once. Although there are certain Hitchcock films (Strangers on a Train, The Birds) I like equally to Psycho and some (Shadow of a Doubt, Vertigo) I like even better, Hitchcock's 1960 masterpiece clearly holds a well-deserved place at the forefront of his impressive oeuvre. Psycho is also traditionally viewed as an important precursor to the rise of the slasher film in the 1970s.
But Peeping Tom is fucking amazing and I could not imagine leaving it off of this course's film list. So it stays too.
This Psycho - Peeping Tom split decision exemplifies what I call "the Godfather conundrum." A few years back when I was designing a course on 1970s Hollywood cinema, I really wanted to show the students Francis Ford Coppola's overlooked masterwork The Conversation (1974). I also knew that they needed to see The Godfather, because the idea of a 1970s Hollywood cinema class without The Godfather is absurd. And while maybe a third to a half of the students came into the class having seen The Godfather before, the remainder hadn't, so I felt I had to ensure that everybody saw the historically more significant film that time around. And due to The Godfather's extraordinary length, I didn't feel right asking the students to watch both Coppola pictures in one week. But for this horror class I'm doubling down on Psycho and the less-seen yet holistically better Peeping Tom.
Night of the Living Dead (1968, dir. George A. Romero). This is not only one of my all-time favorite horror movies, it is without a doubt the single most important and influential horror movie of the 1960s. More than any other film, Romero and company's Night of the Living Dead is responsible for raising the acceptable level of onscreen gore, bringing on the nihilism, and showing a whole generation of North American horror auteurs what could be done on a low budget.
Suspiria (1977, dir. Dario Argento). Really, my whole syllabus is too English-language-o-centric, and omitting influential works by German Expressionists like F.W. Murnau, New Japanese Horror auteurs like Kurosawa Kiyoshi, and even recent "New French Extremity" mind-benders like High Tension and Martyrs really disappoints me. But in the end I chose to favor the North American horror film tradition, so as to foreground interpretive issues (like gender and sexuality) over a more historical account noting lines of directorial influence, etc.
Yet at no point could I ever imagine a horror film class that omitted Dario Argento, the Italian director whose work, along with Mario Bava's, exerted enormous influence on the post-1960s horror movie.†† The only difficult decision was "which film?" In the end I went with Suspiria because, while something like Deep Red speaks more directly to the development of the English-language slasher, Suspiria is more creepy and interesting and supernatural and Gothic. Its stands out from the pack. And its provocatively ambiguous use of point-of-view camera is unsurpassed in global horror cinema.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974, dir. Tobe Hooper). I've already written about how the original Texas Chain Saw is my favorite movie, ever. So let me confine my comments here to the film's role in my class: as a representative of the "slasher" subgenre.
Many critics and film historians contend that Psycho set the basic template for the slasher film, though the work of the Italian giallo directors is probably even more directly germane to the development of this popular subgenre. I like Texas Chain Saw because, along with Black Christmas (dir. Bob Clark), it essentially launched the North American slasher film proper in 1974. So I am focusing on the origins here, rather than the commercial heyday, which comes later, at the very end of the 1970s and the first several years of the '80s.
Yes, screening Chain Saw means I'm not showing other classic slashers like Black Christmas, The Hills Have Eyes (1977, dir. Wes Craven), Halloween (1978, dir. John Carpenter), Friday the 13th (1980, dir. Sean S. Cunningham), Prom Night (1980, dir. Paul Lynch), Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981, dir. Steve Miner), or A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984, dir. Wes Craven). So many great movies, so little time . . .
Videodrome's Max Renn sez: "Long live the new flesh, muthafucka!"
Videodrome (1983, dir. David Cronenberg) is included because Cronenberg is the most inventive and original North American horror director and his work all but defines what it means to do "body horror." I have on-again off-again considered screening his remake of The Fly (1986) instead, but there is going to be a Cronenberg film and it will be hard to pry me away from Videodrome.
I have been occasionally conflicted about this choice. Videodrome is one of my personal favorite films, period. In the context of my class, I really love its depiction of how violence and eroticism get easily combined and tangled up with each other. Plus the whole premise of the in-movie "Videodrome" show (or signal, ee hee hee) is brilliant -- sexuality as (technologically induced) virus, a theme Cronenberg has been mulling over since his early short films in 1969.
Alternatively, The Fly presents us with the slow, horrifying bodily disintegration of a basically decent if overreaching man. The horror consists of seeing him lose his humanity and become a vile insect-monster. The Fly's production values are much higher, and the plot way less twisty and ambiguous, than Videodrome's. While Videodrome may actually be the more cerebral (that is, thematically opaque) of the two, it nevertheless possesses a dark, nihilistic psychosexual streak that makes it more horrifying, if a bit puzzling and confusing as well. (I think I just talked myself back into sticking with Videodrome.)
Ringu (1998, dir. Hideo Nakata) and The Blair Witch Project (1999, dir. Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez) show that 1999 was a big year for horror. That year, Ringu started a global craze for New Japanese Horror films and consequently, despite the high quality of The Ring (2002) itself, spawned a ton of dull-assed English-language remakes of said films. Meanwhile, Blair Witch made a squillion dollars as a result of its canny, viral internet marketing craze and launched the found-footage subgenre that thrives to the present day.
Ginger Snaps (2000, dir. John Fawcett) is just a great teen horror movie, comedically and postmodernistically self-aware (like Scream etc.) but more interesting in part because of its focus on female sexuality. Brian De Palma's Carrie (1976) would be another strong contender with which to explore this theme, but Ginger Snaps is more contemporary and clever and hip. A solid, intelligent, entertainingly gory horror movie.
personal favorite of mine and should pair well with the previous week's Ginger Snaps, dealing as they both do with issues of coming of age and family melodrama. I like that both films tell female-centered stories. The Babadook is my course's only female-directed film.
Horror often vilifies mothers and maternity by making them monstrous: most mothers who appear in horror movies (like Mrs. Bates and Mrs. Voorhees) are evil to the core. The Babadook reverses that trend, giving us a heroic, brave, determined mother who nevertheless must come to terms with her (family's) dark side. The Babadook fuses horror with melodrama to achieve something really special and interesting and cathartic. A must-see.
The Cabin in the Woods (2012, dir. Drew Goddard). This is not a personal favorite though I've enjoyed it both times I've seen it. It's my example of a postmodern hybrid horror-comedy thing -- that is, a "horror film" in quotes. Also, in large part due to the vigorous cult of Joss Whedon fandom, there has been much recent critical ink spilled on the film, some of which I will use to my advantage in teaching the film to students. It's a fun movie with which to conclude the semester.
Films I most regret leaving out:
- Gojira (1954, dir. Ishiro Honda). Though I wrestled mightily between this and King Kong for my representative of a "classic" monster movie, I was leaning pretty heavily toward Gojira when a colleague helped me see that Creature from the Black Lagoon would be the best "creature feature" I could show. Creature speaks to U.S. imperialism and sexual repression from the inside, whereas Gojira grapples with nuclear-age guilt and trauma from the point of view of its real-world victims (the Japanese). Creature also pairs better with Val Lewton's Cat People in representing Golden Age monster movies. Sorry Gojira!
- Alien (1979, dir. Ridley Scott), a truly great monster movie that, like Gojira, I had to cut for space reasons. Alien is well-executed on every level and stands as one of the best horror / science fiction movies ever made. Furthermore, this is a film I want to expose more students to because I want to weaken or debunk the myth that James Cameron's Aliens is superior to -- or even quite as good as -- its influential predecessor. Alien is much written about in film criticism so I have good analytical essays on it. But I ran out of room, so no Alien.
- The Witch (2015, dir. Robert Eggers). I love this movie, perhaps too passionately and somewhat irrationally. And while screening it could open up interesting discussions about horror film fandom and historical verisimilitude, its main plotline is too similar to Ginger Snaps to warrant its inclusion. (Cue sad trombone.)
- The Thing from Another World (1951, dir. Christian Nyby) and The Thing (1982, dir. John Carpenter). Fuck yeah! Need I even explain why showing these back-to-back in the same week would be cool? Let me add that I am a big John Carpenter fan and it is disappointing not to have Halloween or especially The Thing on this syllabus.
- Eyes Without a Face (1959, dir. Georges Franju). After Gojira, this is the exclusion that pains me the most personally. As an instructor, I would say that my omission of any German Expressionist films or more J-Horror films or even Wes Craven's Nightmare on Elm Street is more egregious, but as a fan, the absence of Franju's chilling masterpiece really hurts. I just love this movie a lot and it images stick with me and haunt me like few films' do.
- The Shining (1980, dir. Stanley Kubrick). Regular readers know that I am a major Kubrick fiend, and while in the early 2000s I considered The Shining to be one of the master director's lesser works, I am currently of the opinion that the Stephen King adaptation stands as one of Kubrick's best, most enduring efforts. It is also the absolutely perfect film for teaching about the cinematic Gothic (described here). But alas, I will instead ask Cat People, Suspiria, and both Draculas to perform that function in a course too crowded to incorporate The Shining or other great Gothic outings like The Innocents or Crimson Peak.
- Something -- anything -- by director Wes Craven. Sadly, his early shockers Last House on the Left and The Hills Have Eyes got bumped by Texas Chain Saw for slasher week, Scream was superseded by The Cabin in the Woods for postmodern "horror" week, Freddy Kreuger just got fucked over, and even The People Under the Stairs, which works well (alongside the brilliant Candyman) for teaching about horror movies that explicitly depict racial conflict, got nixed for space reasons. I am so sorry Mr. Craven!
Count Orlok sez: "What about me, you dummkopf??"
* This is a list (and a course syllabus) I have labored over mightily. It has been difficult for me to winnow down the film choices to fit a roughly fourteen-week semester. Ultimately, there are seventeen required-viewing films included -- I couldn't even trim this thing down to my usual one film per week.
** So deep runs my love for Vampyr and so convinced am I that it makes the perfect companion-piece to Freud's "The Uncanny" that in all the early versions of my horror film class outline, Vampyr figured as the first film. But then last spring I had dinner with film studies colleague Dr. Sid Rosenzweig, who asked me if I was starting off my class with Phantom of the Opera. Once he said it aloud, it seemed startlingly obvious to me that Phantom was indeed the best film with which to launch the course. Thanks Sid!

HOT!!! One thing that has to be said about Alayna and Hudson's relationship is it is smoking hot! No matter what the couple goes through, the undeniable chemistry and attraction, their crazy mixed up love and passion that drawls them to each other like a moth to a flame is always there and you can always feel it. This is one of my favorite series, and this was an amazing conclusion that kept me guessing to the very end, as my brain was working the story out in my head......I soooooo did not expect that, and I love when an author can shock me! 4.5 I give you ALL OF ME stars!
The Story
Forever With You picks up right where Found in You left off. Alayna and Hudson are together and trying to make their relationship work. They still have a lot of work to do in their relationship and a ton of trust issues to work through. Day by day, they are working through these issues and it is wonderful to see Alayna's growth and how strong she becomes and how her and Hudson's love progresses and continues to grow stronger. Unfortunately, there are still people that are against their relationship, and once major secrets are revealed.....life changing secrets....will their relationship survive?
Favorite Quotes
"Where is the road to your heart?"
With one finger he lifted my chin to meet his eyes. "Don't you know? You're the one who paved it."
"No, I'm not ever letting you go." His words were raw with emotion. "I'll let you leave here right now, but I'm not giving up on you. I'll pursue you like I've never pursued anything in my life. I'll fight until you have no choice to believe that I love you with everything I am."
"Every touch, every kiss, every moment between you and me, precious…none of that was pretend. I didn't want to pretend with you. I wanted every experience with you, every moment to be completely genuine."
"Not only does my world revolve around her, but she is my world. She's not just my reason for breathing, she's air itself. She's the meaning behind every one of my thoughts, every thrum of my pulse, every whisper of my conscience. She's my entire everything. It's as simple and as complex as that."
Final Thoughts
This series is a must read! A crazy, passionate, intense love story between two individuals who are in no way perfect....they may be beautiful, but boy do they have their flaws, and that is what drawls them to each other....they help each other heal and realize what true love really is! Oh, and that ending....Hudson's POV....phenomenal!

Carlyle Group, a private equity giant, and Euromoney Institutional Investor, a financial media firm, have sold a controlling stake in Dealogic, a content and analytics platform, generating a substantial return.
Even though Carlyle did not disclose the details of the said deal, Euromoney said that it would receive around $135m for its 15.5 percent stake – more than double the amount that it paid in 2014.
Ion Investment Group, the Dublin-based fintech firm, will now hold a majority stake, while the management of Carlyle and Dealogic will retain a "significant" interest.
Andrew Rashbass, the chief executive of Euromoney, said that the sale was in line with the strategy of the company of "selling businesses which do not align with its strategy and recycling that capital to invest in our main investment themes like price discovery, post-trade activities, asset management and telecoms."
Ion's founder and chief executive, Andrew Pignataro, added: "Together [with Dealogic] we will be able to accelerate the digitisation and automation of capital markets and introduce innovations to how financial institutions, investors and issuers conduct their business."
A minority stake in Ion is also held by Carlyle, having acquired part of the stakes of TA Associates, a US private equity firm, stake in 2016.
This morning, Euromoney Institutional Investor, the listed company which publishes the Euromoney magazine, has also released a preliminary statement regarding its full-year results.
The company reported a four percent rise in profits year on year to £106.5m and a six percent increase in revenue to £428.4m. The final dividend jumped 33 percent to 21.8p.
Shares in Euromoney, which is 49.1 percent-owned by the Daily Mail & General Trust, increased by more than four percent in early morning trading.

Mercedes Maintenance in Rowlett TX
A common question is regarding the Mercedes TPMS or Tire Pressure Monitoring System light coming on. This TPMS system does not have a regularly scheduled maintenance interval. The sensors mounted in each wheel will eventually die turning the warning light on and then requiring the replacement of the sensor. Sensors can also be road damaged. Typically, when the light comes on, it means that the air pressure is 20% below what the auto maker recommends. The tires can overheat and the autos handling becomes more difficult without proper air. The pressure on the tire is the amount of pressure the tire can handle. However, the correct pressure for your vehicle is mounted on a plate inside the driver's door jam and is what the auto was engineered for as best handling capacity. The system is mandated by the US government on all newer vehicles to reduce tire-related accidents and injuries.

The Arkansas Fallen Firefighters Memorial will join with THV11 for a Helping Home fundraiser Friday, March 30. Organizers are working to help lessen the cancer risk for men and women in the fire service. It comes one day before the annual memorial service on the state capitol grounds.
At this year's event, names of three men who died of cancer are going on the wall. So many of the men and women in that memorial died in fast moving ways such as explosions or walls collapsing. But with so many chemicals in our modern furniture and homes, cancer is killing firefighters at alarming rates.
"There's nothing to say how long it takes for you to get cancer or which fire it was that gave you cancer," said Matthew Stallings, the political director for the Arkansas Professional Fire Fighters.
"This is the newest, greatest threat to the firefighters," said Jackie Warren with the Fallen Firefighters Memorial.
The science is now established. For men and women on the front lines protecting our lives and property from fire, the dangers continue after the fire is out. Dangerous chemicals from furniture and modern paints get into firefighting gear and clothing, especially the hoods that drape over a firefighter's neck and head.
"Having those hoods in [those] areas where you have greater rates of absorption, that's why we have greater rates of cancer in those areas," Stallings said.
Reducing that risk means cleaning the gear. Leaders in the fire service have made progress giving departments of all sizes access to the high-powered washing machines called extractors. Protocols are in place urging firefighters to use special handi-wipes and remove their soot covered gear. But challenges remain, especially in smaller towns.
"People want to focus on the extractors, having a second set of turnouts having a second hood, second gloves," Warren said. "Anything 'second.' Some departments barely have firsts."
Friday's fundraiser will feature a way to get extra hoods out to those departments. It will also help up-keep of the memorial as three names of firefighters join the wall this year who each died of cancer. Getting a true read on how many are getting sick is also part of the effort.
"Anybody who is a firefighter, anybody that knows a firefighter who has cancer, who has dealt with cancer, who has passed away from cancer, we need their information," said Stallings, who urges people to share that information in a database on the union's website.
Meanwhile, the busy weekend at the memorial and upcoming conventions of fire chiefs and frontline fire personnel have organizers hopeful they can continue to make progress and spread the benefit out to all parts of the state.
"We can't take care of all 18,000 firefighters or more that we have in this state, and we're over 90 percent volunteers," Warren said. "You have a lot of the small departments in these little, small towns that really do need some help."
THV11 will be live Friday night at Central Fire Station on 7th and Chester streets between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. sharing more information on the need.

Edgar Garcia Takes One Step Closer To Philly
A year ago, the Phillies added Seranthony Dominguez to their 40-man roster and by early May, the hard-throwing righthander was in the big leagues on his way to becoming manager Gabe Kapler's favorite bullpen weapon.
Edgar Garcia might be able to make a similar rise in 2019. The 22-year-old righthander was added to the 40-man roster in November after a season in which he recorded a 3.64 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP in 52 games at Double-A Reading and Triple-A Lehigh Valley. In 64.1 innings, he struck out 72 batters and walked 27 while holding opponents to a .206 average.
With the way the Phillies and most other organizations love to shuttle relievers between Triple-A and the majors, Garcia could get an early chance in Philadelphia if he continues to blossom.
Like Dominguez, whose fastball can touch triple digits, Garcia owns a dominant pitch.
"His slider is nasty, maybe the best in the organization," minor league pitching coordinator Rafael Chaves said. "He gets a high percentage of swings and misses on the pitch. It's a weapon."
Garcia's slider is tight with a sharp, downward break. He complements the pitch with a fastball and an improving changeup. His fastball sits at 92-93 mph and has touched 96. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound Garcia has an athletic, pitcher's build.
The Phillies signed Dominguez out of the Dominican Republic for a bargain $25,000 in October 2011. Garcia signed for $30,000 in May 2014 when he was 17. Garcia had been a shortstop when area scouts Luis Garcia and Carlos Salas first saw him. The scouts did not see much of a bat but they liked his arm. Now, Garcia is knocking on the door of Citizens Bank Park.
"Our player development staff has done a good job with this guy," Chaves said. "And Edgar has done a good job turning himself into a prospect. He has excellent makeup. He is tough and smart. He asks good questions. He challenges himself and he competes."
Eastern League Announces 2018 All-Star Rosters
The Eastern League all-star game will take place July 11 at Trenton's Arm & Hammer Park.
— In addition to Garcia, the Phillies added righthander Adonis Medina and shortstop Arquimedes Gamboa to the 40-man roster to shield them from the Rule 5 draft.

Landscape with Effervescence
Originally uploaded by colormuse
This summer I tested myself to paint a landscape. The first sketch had possibilities, then I worked on it again and the life went out of it. In December I studied it and had a couple of inspirational thoughts but didn't have the time....a couple of days ago I worked on it by making dots to enliven it, to break it out of the not working place, to abstract the landscape. Then i intensified the outlines, thinking I would go back in to paint more, but now I rather like it in a very funny sort of way, so I am leaving it be for a pause to reflect on the next step....hmmmm
Word of the day was community....you are my community in these bitterly cold January days, so I am sharing this with you.

My sessions with Jerome have been eye opening. He gave me plenty to think about and where my purpose lies. Also the accountability follow ups have been amazing.
Jerome has been fantastic, he is very knowledgeable and has been amazing in helping us create a more professional and structured business. I highly recommend his services!
Dean White
"There comes a time when you get serious about getting the best out of our life and knowing that what you're doing right now, which may be 'functional', needs to change… My single most important outcome working with Jerome was identifying and moving towards my Ultimate goal.
This is very powerful as keeps me on track ie. every key decision I make must take me towards my ultimate goal".
Robert Ian Bonnick
Having initially been sceptical that there was a way to solve and change my approach to things it soon became obvious that with the right application and encouragement it was totally achievable. I had open debates with Jerome and we covered ground that I had previously kept just in my head, I felt that each session was helping me to become a more approachable person and left them feeling that I wanted to prove the outcome to myself. I feel that I have become a better person to my family, friends and work colleagues …Thanks again goes to Jerome!
Ian Lomas | Group Commercial Director
Ian Lomas
I was in a negative mind space thinking too much about my opponents and not myself. After some research my Dad was referred to Jerome and his company Get Performing. From our first meeting we got so much out of it. In the sessions ahead we worked on positive thinking processes, overcoming mental & emotional obstacles.
The coaching benefits have enabled me to progress up to the next level of my career (reaching the world cup squad) and concentrate on what really matters and to focus on the objectives that I have set out to accomplish and take every opportunity as a learning experience and a positive one.
Matty Thomas
Within the first few sessions with Jerome he recognised that the business I thought I wanted to build was not aligned with my values.
He has helped me re-ignite my passion for what I really love to do and assisted me in creating a business within the building industry.
If you are a man stuck in business, I highly recommend you work with Jerome.
Michael Bonanno
I was fortunate enough to have come across Jerome while he was conducting a coaching workshop. I felt that I had an instant connection with him as our values and beliefs aligned. I was amazed by Jerome's, energy and love for life.
Since meeting Jerome I have acquired his coaching services for both my business and personal life.
Jerome has an amazing ability for bringing out the best in people by identifying the beliefs that are long longer working and helping their clients in creating new goals that without their guidance would never have thought possible.
My wife was so impressed with the positive change that I have experienced since working with Jerome that she has now also started working with him.
Thank you Jerome for being an amazing person I can rely on no matter how big the challenge.
Shane Heta
"I took a break from corporate life to be a stay at home dad and recently returned to the workforce, starting my own business. I engaged Jerome because I needed someone to push me, keep me accountable and help take my business to the next level. In the time that we've worked together he's done just that and my business it poised to reach its goals over the coming months years.
As a former stay at home dad, Jerome was exactly the coach I've been looking for to help me launch my business. He has a practical, easy to follow process, sound advice in following this, combined with an unwaivering enthusiasm that always leaves you confident and motivated. He's really making a difference for me and pushing my boundaries to drive results."
Jason Hime | Team Evolvement
Where there was doubt there is now clear direction. Jerome has helped me get so much more clarity on where I'm heading and how I'm going to get there by assisting me to work on my business instead of in it.
Hugh Milton | Hugh the Arborist
Working with Jerome has been amazing. I was at a plateau in my business and stuck. After doing Jerome's business program I got more clarity in where I was heading and starting becoming more productive. Which allowed me to feel more positive again about the future. I highly recommend his services. Joe Edginton – Energy Culture

The projected storm surge from Hurricane Sandy is a �worst-case scenario� with devastating waves and tides predicted for the highly populated New York City metro area, government forecasters said Sunday.
The more they observe it, the more the experts worry about the water � which usually kills and does more damage than winds in hurricanes.
In this case, seas will be amped up by giant waves and full-moon-powered high tides. That will combine with drenching rains, triggering inland flooding as the hurricane merges with a winter storm system that will worsen it and hold it in place for days.
Louis Uccellini, environmental prediction chief for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, told The Associated Press that given Sandy�s due east-to-west track into New Jersey, that puts the worst of the storm surge just north in New York City, Long Island and northern New Jersey. �Yes, this is the worst-case scenario,� he said.
In a measurement of pure kinetic energy, NOAA�s hurricane research division on Sunday ranked the surge and wave �destruction potential� for Sandy � just the hurricane, not the hybrid storm it will eventually become � at 5.8 on a 0 to 6 scale. The damage expected from winds will be far less, experts said. Weather Underground meteorologist Jeff Masters says that surge destruction potential number is a record and it�s due to the storm�s massive size.
�You have a lot of wind acting over a long distance of water for hundreds of miles� and that piles the storm surge up when it finally comes ashore, Masters said. Even though it doesn�t pack much power in maximum wind speed, the tremendous size of Sandy � more than 1,000 miles across with tropical storm force winds � adds to the pummeling power when it comes ashore, he said.
The storm surge energy numbers are bigger than the deadly 2005 Hurricane Katrina, but that can be misleading. Katrina�s destruction was concentrated in a small area, making it much worse, Masters said. Sandy�s storm surge energy is spread over a wider area. Also, Katrina hit a city that is below sea level and had problems with levees.
National Hurricane Center Director Rick Knabb said Hurricane Sandy�s size means some coastal parts of New York and New Jersey may see water rise from 6 to 11 feet from surge and waves. The rest of the coast north of Virginia can expect 4 to 8 feet of surge.
The full moon Monday will add 2 to 3 inches to the storm surge in New York, Masters said.
�If the forecasts hold true in terms of the amount of rainfall and the amount of coastal flooding, that�s going to be what drives up the losses and that�s what�s going to hurt,� said Susan Cutter, director of the hazards and vulnerability research institute at the University of South Carolina.
Cutter said she worries about coastal infrastructure, especially the New York subways, which were shutting down Sunday night.
Klaus Jacob, a Columbia University researcher who has advised the city on coastal risks, said, �We have to prepare to the extent we can, but I�m afraid that from a subway point of view, I think it�s beyond sheer preparations. I do not think that there�s enough emergency measures that will help prevent the subway from flooding.�
Knabb said millions of people may be harmed by inland flooding.
A NOAA map of inland and coastal flood watches covers practically the entire Northeast: all of Maryland, New Jersey, Delaware, and Connecticut; most of Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts and Vermont, and parts of northeastern Ohio, eastern Virginia, North Carolina, and western New Hampshire.
Along the mid-Atlantic coast, storm surge is already starting to build, Uccellini said. NOAA�s Coastal Services Center chief Margaret Davidson said to expect �bodacious impacts� from both surge and inland flooding.
The surge � in which water steadily increases from the ocean� will be worst in the areas north of where Sandy comes ashore.
New York will have the most intense storm surge if Sandy comes ashore anywhere in New Jersey, Uccellini said. Only if it arrives farther south, such as Delaware, will New York see a slightly, only slightly, smaller storm surge.
