In my next life, I want to be one of Santa's elves. For real.
Well as I am typing this, it's silly, everyone can be a little elf! There are lots of things you & I can do. I know people, tons of people that I love and think the world of. I have always admired nice people and selfless people. They make the world go around. I have nice and kind people all around me, woven through my life. It makes me feel rich in friends and the quality of them! I'm grateful and will always be grateful!
Okay so let me explain why I am posting about Christmas elves and secret missions. It's all very exciting and I almost missed the boat on that. I was told by one of the front desk girls, who was very excited to tell me btw, that someone who read our blog had been inspired by one of our posts about random acts of kindness. She had told me that this person had a friend who had something very sad happen in her life. She wanted to surprise her with a secret elf presents for her and her family. She chose Bijou to be her present. I was so touched when I heard just those details. And we were all excited to be a part of this random act of kindness/secret elf mission.
Then things got busy. Can I just say an amen to my front desk girls. Oh my, they are the backbone of our salon. They really work hard at keeping things running smooth. Our front desk girl took care of it immediately and felt good to be a part of it. Me too!
Then I was lucky. This person (the Christmas elf, doing Xmas magic) reached out in email to me, (probably the best way, because when I read my emails, I am home relaxing and my head is clear(ish:) She told me the whole story and knew I would want to do something. She was right, I certainly do. And what an angel on earth to think of something to do, we all do that, we all have great intentions. But to actually follow through, at this busy time of the year. Well that is heartwarming.
In 2012, my friends here and friends from far, friends I know really well and friends I don't know too well. All of them have inspired me to always act on my thoughts of random acts of kindness. Do! Not just think. Do!
2012 will be a great year, people are good. Sure there are stinkers out there, but good still outweighs the stinkers:) Angels are everywhere, this I know to be true:)

Marketing, making sense of it!
I have a secret weapon.
And you know what? Because I share really well, am a nice person and it makes me super happy to help people! While, I have definitely helped people in the past and somewhat regretted it..nah, not really, because I try not to have regrets and just learn from the "mistakes" I've made. What is a world without making mistakes? Okay, yes, it's late, I digress when I am sleepy!
Okay so marketing. I had a friend who went to college for marketing, I remember asking her if it was fun. IT SOUNDED SO BORING! I remember thinking the only benefit would be working for a big company and being able to wear a suit. What can I say? Suits in the early 90's were cool, especially hounds tooth...Okaaay, digressing...
SO marketing, when I first started my business and even in businesses that I worked for before, I always had ideas and would tell them. Even offer to do them for the owners, eh, but nobody really was interested. Maybe I was bad at pitching them or they just didn't want me helping, I have no idea. BUT obviously, I should say a little thank you to my guardian angel watching over me that they tossed my ideas aside. Or else this little blog may be named something else..it's all about everything happening for a reason! (yes, I know I'm beginning to digress. Believe it or not, I really am trying very hard to stay on track:)
Okay, so I just went about promoting my business in ways that would make me myself look at other businesses. I am good at observing, I do pay attention, I'm creative, I genuinely care, I have passion and I have a wicked good memory. ALL very helpful traits for a good marketing person!
I remember the first full year of opening my business, I started right away with my blog (here was the very first post) and internet researching. These things I enjoyed and found to be fascinating. Guess what, I had NO freaking idea that I was marketing my salon. No clue, I was just doing. Someone actually had to say to me, "You are really good at marketing your salon", for me to realize..OH, I was marketing? Well thank you, (still scratching my head, thinking..marketing is fun??) So, Without a lot of intent, I just did what felt right. I only did what I enjoyed and I have to say, I LOVE marketing. I would market other people for free. WELL I do, things that I LOVE, I could convince everyone and anyone to go there, use them, buy that..you name it.
So are you wondering what my secret weapon for 2012 will be, gosh should I tell? Hehe, yes of course I will...It's my marketing BFF!
Oh and guess what, she also inspires me to blog, it's like magic, I'm mentioned in her blog. And the little voice (who coincidentally speaks with an accent:) in my head (Oh please, we all have them..right?;) Says..blog blog blog. But seriously, don't all good friends do that. My closest friends that I hold dear, they inspire me, I know I have inspired them, that's what real friends do. Even friends that you have never met. The girl who named my shop..never met her in real life, we just were blogging friends, I knew she was creative, we talked about books, I consider her a friend. My favorite editor in chief...never met her (BUT I WILL BE SOON:), but consider her a friend. Sigh, yes different from years ago, this whole internet world has changed many things, but embrace it. Everything happens for a reason, ya know!? ;)

Do you remember when we won a salon of distinction in the Salon of the Year competition? OMG, I do, what an honor and achievement. It's based on the decor of your salon. I still can't believe we won, what a dream, what a great feeling, what an honor...I can't tell you how grateful we all felt!
Well you remember me saying on Facebook that I was entering the Salon Today top 200 competition? It all happened so fast because, the years that it is judged are not current years, and you enter the competition the year before the competition runs. And like I said you are judged on prior years. SO this year it was judged from 2009 and 2010, you enter in 2011 and the competition is announced as ST 200 2012. Can you see how easily I got all jumbled, when it was time to actually enter.
WHICH is why I almost missed the deadline!! YEP, I almost totally missed it. It was to be postmarked the next day, and I read this at 10pm, ran to the salon and started the reports I needed. OH and essays, I started writing essays while the reports were printing, I was frantic.
Do you remember when I wrote THIS? Well I remembered one thing that my favorite editor in chief said at that time...She asked me if I needed more time, because my photos were being process for Salon of the year, literally the day before the postmarked date. She said, "Some other salons needed extensions, so if you need an extra couple of days, I can do that for you." I didn't need it then for Salon of the Year. BUT I needed it now!! I took a leap of faith and emailed her and facebooked her! I kept telling myself, the answer will be NO! if I don't ask that is for sure, and it could be NO! if I do ask, but it could be YES! too. WHY take that chance!? Always ask, you just never know! She responded by telling me to go to bed tonight and that I could have a few days extension.
We worked our butt's off the next couple days, and got it in! I was SUPER happy with our essays. Thomas edited all my ramblings and since he knows me so well, knew exactly what I was trying to say. We are such a good team!!!! I couldn't accomplish anything without him in my life! We entered several different categories; Customer service, marketing, advanced education and technology to name a few. SO now we just had to WAIT...for this...
When I got the letter, it was in a plain white envelope. My mail lady (you have to love a small town, she knew we were waiting for this..so brought it to me at my chair) handed it to me and I put one finger in the envelope and then stopped. I remembered that the first year I opened Bijou, I had entered Salon of the year. I received a white envelope the same as this one and inside it said. Thank you for entering, we regret to inform you that you have not placed. BUT when we won the salon of distinction I remember getting a huge gold envelope. SO, I told the girls, I'm not crying in front of clients. I'll wait..
The girls grabbed the envelope and held it under the light, sneaky girls! They encouraged me to open it with them in the quiet room. And since I know how protective they are of me, I trusted they knew it was maybe ok... We screamed. We won!!!
We will know what categories we placed in when the magazine comes out in January. Can't wait! SO grateful! Life in 2012 is going to be GRANDE!

Other blogs...
I love people who blog. What did we all do without them? I find them so informative, it's like a friend sharing an idea or an experience with you. I always love a good story!
It's fun to be featured in other blogs. It's usually people I know, but a few times, it's been complete strangers. When you blog, it's a big deal:)
We had someone come into the shop the other day, I didn't get to see them, so I was unaware who it was. The girls brought back this candy jar and on it said 'courtesy of a random act of kindness'.
What I love more than blogs and people who blog...IS RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS!! Oh and paying it forward..and Karma! I love all those things. They govern my life, they should govern everyone's lives..it will be more peaceful and kind! In this town, I witness everyday examples of paying it forward and random acts of kindness. In my home I see them, in my business I see them. I see them everywhere. Sometimes I see not nice things too, but then I see Karma, because almost always, what comes around goes around! Anyway, I digress.
SO on to where Bijou was spotted!
One of our creative genius types that come into the salon, who I love to share APP joy with. She also has a blog, it's very informative with the right amount of fluff. I LOVE that!
Read HERE and HERE! (remember click on the highlighted posts and it should zoom you there, for those that only read this blog by email, I'm not certain it works like that here, BUT if you click on the bottom of this email onto the highlighted name of the blog, it will also take you to the actual blog, you should hear music when you do this..not like angels singing, but real music;)
We were also featured HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE! (the one I didn't know personally...yet;)
Maybe you'll find a love for blogs too, that is, if you don't already love them:)

SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Christopher Belt (D-Centreville) released the following statement regarding the governor's budget address Wednesday afternoon:
"I appreciate Gov. Pritzker proposing funding for additional personnel to allow appropriate staffing ratios at corrections facilities across the state. I spent 16 years with the St. Clair County Probation and Detention Center and two years as the regional deputy administrator of Aftercare for the central and southern regions of Illinois, so I strongly applaud him for considering the safety of our correctional officers.
In addition, I support the governor proposing a fully funded mandate of pensions. After passing legislation that consolidates pensions in the downstate region, it's vital that residents in my district have pension payment schedules that goes as planned."

I am grateful to God for always giving me a word for you, and I have a great conviction that you have always been blessed with these write ups. May your eyes of understanding be enlightened to receive God's Word coming your way today in Jesus' name. I will be exploring a wonderful subject titled: Dealing with Comparison!
Subscribe to MinistryExploit and Stay Informed!
Let me begin by defining the word 'comparison" According to Oxford Learner's Dictionary, comparison is the act of evaluating two or more things by determining the relevant characteristics of each thing to be compared and determining which characteristics of each are similar to the other, which are different and to what degree.
Many young people today are anxious and agitated about life and this in turn affects the way they carry and comport themselves. The world we live in today is filled with negativism, misfortune, chaos, calamity, disaster, pressure, stress and the list is endless!
Do not forget that every big thing started small. Every tree with fruits came out of a seed. Every long journey begins with one little step after another and with time eventually gets accomplished! Remember the popular saying, Rome was not built in a day. The same is true about life! The Bible in 2 Peter 3:9 tells us that God is not slow. Therefore, start little, it does not matter where you are now but be focused on God and his wondrous power to elevate you to where He is eventually taking you to (Jeremiah 29:11).
My Husband and I started the ministry little by little, as small prayer groups then fellowship before we had our first cathedral the Grass Cathedral, we could not afford to cook certain meals and wear certain clothes, Infact my sisters often go to a wonderful boutique popularly known as B.D.B (Bend Down Boutique) then to select clothes for me; we did not start with borrowing money to build a cathedral, we humbly started at our level per time not minding what other churches looked like because we knew where God was taking us. We refused to imitate or compare our lives and the operations of our ministry with others. We strictly depended and still depending on God for all directions which has made us distinct from others.
There are many effects of comparison, you must understand that the effects of comparison can never be over emphasized let me show you some.
God is Relegated
Whenever you compare yourself with others you pull God out of the picture and relegate his abilities. You literally tell God that he is insufficient for you. Remember God is a jealous God and hates comparison, Deuteronomy 6:14 -15 says, You shall not go after other gods, the gods of the peoples who are around you— for the Lord your God in your midst is a jealous God—lest the anger of the Lord your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth. Therefore, be content with whatever you have or where ever you are today God is able to grant you all that your heart desires. Please do not pull God aside with comparison but bring him into the scene always by thanking him for the level you are today and see him changing your level in Jesus' name.
Give Rise to Anxiety
Comparison brings anxiety; this has led to fear of tomorrow, failure, rejection etc. This has also resulted in many being extremely in a hurry and the quest to "make it by all means" among youths; which in turn lures them to getting involved in many unbelievable vices. This will not be your portion in Jesus name. Comparison robs you of the package that God has for you because you must be patient to obtain the promise. The Bible says: Rest in the lord and wait patiently for him fret not thyself because of he who prospereth in his ways, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass (Psalms 37 vs 7). There is always a blessing for those who wait patiently for the lord; He might seem slow but He is never slow, He is taking you through a process to make you better and you shall get there in Jesus name.
I enjoin you today, to stop comparing yourself with other people, your friends might be ahead of you please do not fret about them but look up to God, the Bible says: They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed (Psalms 34 vs 5). When you depend solely on God you will never be put to shame.
Having read through this piece, I know you have come to an understanding that it is only Jesus that can grant you the grace to live a life free of comparison, I recommend that you invite him into your life today to take over your thoughts, if you want to make this decision right now, Please say this prayer of faith:
Father, I realise that I have been a sinner. Today I believe you died and rose on the third day redeeming me from all my sins. Now I accept you lord, save me and accept me as your child, write my name in the book of life Thank You Father for saving me in Jesus' Name.
Congratulations You are now a child of God and have experienced salvation in Jesus Name Amen. You can call or write and share your testimonies with me via email@example.com or 07026385437 and 08141320204.
To get more understanding on the subject above, these books Authored by me are available at Dominion Bookstore in all living Faith churches and other leading Christian Bookstores: Make Your Life Count, Single with a Difference, You are Welcome to God's Family.

Erin Kelleher and Dan Barbash found that Drosophila hybrids have increased transposon activity due to the rapid evolution of proteins in the piRNA pathway. piRNAs act to repress transposons, and while piRNA transcripts are still made in the interspecific hybrids, they are not processed to their mature, functional forms. More details can be found in their PLOS Biology paper here.

For decades, Dr. Seuss has maintained his position as one of the best recognized authors and illustrators of children's books. I grew up with plenty of his classics on my bookshelves. My boys and I now read them together often. The introduction of newer editions has ensured that even the youngest generation is familiar with his crazy characters. One of Dr. Seuss' best known characters, The Cat In The Hat, inspired today's colorful math review. Be sure to read to the end to grab your own practice sheet!
Cat in the Hat Math
Dr. Seuss is best known for his lyrical, rhyming text. The Cat In The Hat series is no exception. The original book focuses on the mischievous Cat, enticing a young brother and sister into a silly playtime while their mother is out.
Thing 1 and Thing 2 make appearances as well, adding to the giggles and humor for young readers. There's not a lot of information presented in the book, but the lively tale is fun to hear over and over again. Dr. Seuss' classic illustrations are sparse and graphic, with bold shapes in shades of blue and red. The newer editions chronicling the adventures of The Cat in the Hat present more information to the reader.
Oh, The Pets You Can Get incorporates facts like the best way to carry rabbits, or that only male canaries can sing. These editions are more colorful, with far less white space in the illustrations. The newer volumes are a great way to introduce basic ideas about science, etc, in a fun, engaging manner.
The lyrical rhyming continues through the entire collection of Cat in the Hat books, making them perfect for young children. Pre-readers can listen along and supply the rhyming words during read alouds. Older readers will find the rhythm of the text reassuring, especially as they practice reading out loud.
Cat in the Hat Math
Adding color and a bit of mystery with a hidden image can be a great way to encourage young readers to practice basic math skills.

Al Tayer Motors Launches All-New Lincoln Aviator in the UAE
All-new Lincoln Aviator brings Lincoln's design vision to life, elevating beauty and performance in the brand's newest three-row premium large SUV
Revel™ Ultima™ 3D Audio System re-creates an authentic concert-hall experience by immersing occupants in rich, superior sound
Lincoln's all-new Presidential theme, Flight, harmoniously combines Luggage Tan and Ebony, further elevating the ambience of the cabin
Dubai United Arab Emirates - November 13, 2019:
Al Tayer Motors, the official Lincoln importer in the UAE, launched the all-new 2020 Lincoln Aviator at the Dubai International Motor Show (DIMS) 2019.
Arriving in the UAE this January – the vehicle comes packed with advanced technologies that let the luxury SUV kneel to greet you, and scan the road ahead to glide through an uneven pavement.
The three-row, premium large utility vehicle elevates Lincoln's design vision while delivering on tenets of beauty, gliding, human and a crafted sanctuary.
"Lincoln is in the midst of a sales spike in the region and the all-new Aviator represents the very best of our brand DNA, and signals the direction for Lincoln vehicles going forward," said Sami Malkawi, Regional Manager, Lincoln Middle East. "It offers elegance, effortless performance and unparalleled versatility – a true representation of Lincoln's vision for the future."
Power, capability and choice
Aviator offers the kind of capability premium clients require in a three-row SUV, with available all-wheel drive. The standard twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 engine, paired with a 10-speed SelectShift® automatic transmission, it delivers an impressive 400 horsepower and 562 Nm of torque for effortless acceleration.
Lincoln Drive Modes' five signature settings – Normal, Conserve, Excite, Slippery and Deep Conditions – allow clients to further customise their drive experience, while a 10.1-inch standard configurable LCD instrument cluster confirms their choices with beautiful, easy-to-read dynamic graphics and prompts.
Client-focused, intuitive technologies
Aviator delivers a wealth of intuitive technologies designed to assist the driver while enhancing the overall experience of the journey. Right from the start, the suspension system on Presidential trim automatically lowers the vehicle to "greet" the driver, adding a new level of sophistication to Lincoln's signature welcome lighting embrace. The convenience of this feature makes loading cargo easier as well.*
Also new to Lincoln is an available technology that enables Aviator to "see" most potholes or uneven pavement and immediately make suspension adjustments to keep the ride as smooth as possible. Adaptive Suspension with Road Preview uses an advanced forward camera to constantly scan the road, seamlessly adjusting the suspension as needed.
All Lincoln vehicles come standard with a suite of driver-assist features known as Lincoln Co-Pilot360™. With the arrival of Aviator, Lincoln's most advanced suite of driver-assist technologies will be available in a new upgrade aptly named Lincoln Co-Pilot360™ Plus. It adds:
• Traffic Jam Assist helps guide the vehicle using adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, lane centring and traffic sign recognition, which scans speed limit signs along the roadway, adjusting speed based on the information obtained
· Evasive Steer Assist offers assistance to the driver to help avoid a collision with a slower or stopped vehicle; it provides additional steering support when a collision cannot be avoided by braking alone
• Reverse Brake Assist can help you stop the vehicle while backing up if Aviator's integrated rear sensors and camera detect an obstacle at the rear
• Active Park Assist Plus removes the stress from parking by taking over steering, shifting, braking and acceleration functions with the touch of a button to navigate parallel and perpendicular parking spaces with ease
Aeronautical inspiration
The boundless allure of flight has long inspired automotive design, and the all-new Lincoln Aviator takes that inspiration to the next level.
"The connotations of flight are intrinsic in the lines of the vehicle," said Susan Lampinen, group chief designer – Colour and Material Design – at Lincoln. "Aviator's iridescent Flight Blue exterior colour, for one, complements its flowing lines, while its signature grille is executed in high-gloss black and chrome accents that beckon the eye, while a wraparound windshield completes the aviation-inspired theme."
An all-new Lincoln Presidential theme, Flight, harmoniously combines Luggage Tan and Ebony, further elevating the ambience of the cabin. Bright engine turn appliqués, brushed in small circles, replicate the finish of early aviation instrument panels and enhance the theme. The supple leather of the seats is minimally processed to retain its natural texture.
Chalet is another Lincoln Presidential option for Aviator, evoking the contrasting pleasures of mountain slopes and the inherent comfort of an après-ski lodge. With Espresso and Alpine Venetian leathers and deep Silverwood appliqués, each touch is designed to awaken the senses.
Another Lincoln Presidential theme available is Destination. Celebrating the art of travel, Destination takes its inspiration from vintage luggage, harkening back to a time when travel was rich with excitement and intrigue. Mahogany Red Venetian leather with an intricate diamond weave on the seats is complemented by smooth khaya wood appliqués – making travel both near and far a true pleasure.
Lincoln Presidential is created for clients seeking the ultimate in a luxury experience, offering premium materials in specially curated designer themes and a host of membership privileges. The grille for the all-new Lincoln Presidential Aviator features reverse lattice mesh with a repetitive pattern of strong, bright-finished badge motifs.
Comfort and convenience
Aviator's spacious, airy cabin accentuates horizontal lines, minimising visual clutter to deliver a soothing sanctuary. An available Revel™ Ultima™ 3D Audio System re-creates an authentic concert-hall experience by immersing occupants in rich, superior sound emanating from 28 speakers throughout the cabin.
An ergonomically advanced steering wheel is intended for ultimate ease of use and customisation; only subtle thumb movements at the 10 o'clock position are needed to access the voice command button. The steering wheel features streamlined, four-way switches at strategic positions to control music, phone and navigation functions.
Available Perfect Position seats with Active Motion offer 30-way adjustability, massage capability and additional lumbar support for driver and front-row passenger for paramount comfort, while flexible second-row seats recline, adjust fore and aft, and slide forward for easy access to the third row. The third row provides ample seating with plenty of room left over for cargo, assuring nothing and no one is left behind.
Other convenience features include an available wireless phone charging pad located in the front-row centre armrest, while a handy media bin is available for the front-row passenger. Multiple power outlets throughout the cabin keep occupants connected wherever the journey may take them.
"Impressive regional sales growth has been led by Lincoln's established nameplates like Navigator, and hot-off-the-production-line Nautilus," says Malkawi, "and the all-new Aviator is sure to extend that trend, arriving at a perfect intersection; where strength and beauty meet performance and technology."
Lincoln To You
In keeping with the effortless service ethos from Lincoln, Al Tayer Motors has the unique 'Lincoln to You' service, which allows customers to book a test drive, through https://www.altayermotors.com/lincoln/vip/ or by calling 800 MOTORS, at a date and time of their choice.
At the appointed time, a service advisor will arrive at the customer's location with the chosen vehicle enabling the customer to test drive it at their convenience.

CHICAGO (CBS) — Five-thousand workers are planning to strike next week at 57 Chicago-area nursing homes over wages and staffing if there is not an agreement with the owners by May 4th.
The President of SEIU Healthcare, Greg Kelly, said this is not a veiled threat.
"We will strike," he said, over wages and under-staffing.
The union represents 10,000 nursing home workers at more than 100 facilities in the Chicago area and said it chose to strike at about half of them if there is no agreement with the Illinois Association of Health Care Facilities. WBBM's Mike Krauser reports.
A certified nursing assistant for nearly 20 years said she is making less than $15 an hour. Another, who said she has been on the job for 10 years, said she's making just over $10 an hour.
The union said they have been working without a contract for more than a year and have filed numerous unfair labor complaints against the owners.
Kelly acknowledged a strike would be tough on workers already living paycheck-to-paycheck.
"It's a hardship now, even without a strike, but our members have made the decision," he said.
The workers said it would be difficult, too, but said they're committed to fighting to improve pay and working conditions.
The union said it would be the largest nursing home strike in U.S. history.

Police in Kano on Wednesday paraded three people including a middle-aged woman (names withheld) for attempting to illegally buy a three month old baby for N15,000.
The woman, said to be barren and was desperate to have a baby came all the way from Abuja, with her husband for the illegal transaction.
According to Kano state Police Command spokesman, DSP Magaji Musa Majia, who paraded the suspects, the child buyers paid the parents of the baby N13, 000, remaining a balance of N2000.
Luck ran out of the childless couple when the parents of the baby alerted the police over the illegal transaction.
Majia said, "a young lady, residing in Sabon Gari, Church Road, reported the incident to the state Anti-Kidnapping unit that a woman approached her, requesting to buy her child for the sum of N15,000.
"Based on the report, we promptly drafted detectives to accompany the woman to the transaction point. While the deal was being struck, a woman, who claimed to be a staff of the renowned ECWA clinic, who happened to be the go-between handed over the sum of N13,000 the mother of the child, promising to balance the sum of N2,000 later.
"The mother of the child, identified as, Fatima, quickly alerted the police officers, who were within the scene, where the woman was consequently arrested."
Majia added that the go-between woman was allegedly assaulted about a week ago, while attempting to steal the child.
The husband of the suspect, Mr. Bob-manuel Mpaka, however, told journalists that, ''I have been married for quite some years, without any child, hence I decided to adopt a child, through legal means.
"We are not kidnappers, we came to Kano with the information that we could adopt a child in the state. We came with our marriage certificate, including other vital documents.
"We were unaware that the woman who facilitated the entire transaction had a hidden agenda."
The Kano Police spokesman, however, advised parents to be mindful of the whereabouts of their wards and reiterated the Command's determination to fight kidnapping, child trafficking and other crimes in the ancient commercial city.

Lunch at The Palm With Bill Press: The Lockup Edition
If you're lunching at The Palm today in northwest Washington, you're in a for a real treat — or a real fiasco, however you want to look at it. Today is the infamous Bill Press lunch in which Current TV's liberal TV/radio personality shows up to dine with his employees.
"Every year I demand that we go to The Palm and sit under his picture because it's just so weird and awkward and I love it," said Peter Ogburn, longtime producer for Press and now a co-host on "Full Court Press." (Ogburn also contributes to FBDC, so it wasn't hard to pry details out of him.)
Ogburn recalls with, um, fondness, seven years ago when they first began doing annual Bill Press lunches at The Palm beneath his caricature. This is the year that Ogburn's underling, Associate Producer Dan Henning, got hammered to the point of lockup.
Ogburn recalls, "Dan is just being a total prick, demanding that he get back behind the bar to make drinks. I was just like, I'm leaving. So embarrassed. He gets a glass bottle of water to bring with him. We get to the Dupont Circle Metro. Dan trips head over heels the whole way down the escalator. I mean, Head. Over. Heels."
Pausing for a brief interruption: For anyone who knows either Dupont Metro escalator, this is one long-ass ride.
Continuing on, Ogburn says…
"Glass bottle shatters. He hits the bottom and he doesn't move. I'm watching him the whole way down. I got down and was like, he's dead. I left him. A couple of hours later I get a phone call from a police officer calling [for] Henning. I said, 'No ma'am I have no idea who he is. She says, 'We're holding him here intoxicated.' I said, 'I've never heard that name before in my life. You've got the wrong number.' Next morning, he comes in still wearing the same clothes, no laces in shoes because of lockup, blood on pants. He was just like, 'Man, what happened last night?' I didn't tell him the truth until a year ago. What a headache that I would have to deal with that, do you know what I mean?"
Moral of the story: We're not sure, exactly, but do not black out around Peter Ogburn because he will leave you for death. (He says he has cared for plenty of drunken people in his time. Yeah, er, we believe him.)
Last year was also fruitful. One of their other employees, Stevie Lee Webb, who handles their "Best of" Friday feature, got really blitzed and wound up putting a hole in one of the walls of their studio.
For the record, Ogburn says, Press consumes two glasses of wine at most and calls it an afternoon.
Happy dining, gentleman! And please, if anything weird happens, send video.

CNN commentator Jeffrey Lord on Thursday compared President Donald Trump's moves to overhaul healthcare to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., prompting a backlash from a fellow panelist.
"Think of President Trump as the Martin Luther King of healthcare," Lord, a pro-Trump surrogate, said during an appearance on CNN.
"When I was a kid, President Kennedy did not want to introduce the civil rights bill because he said it wasn't popular, he didn't have the votes for it, etcetera. Dr. King kept putting people in the streets, in harms way, to put the pressure on so that the bill would be introduced. That's what finally worked," he continued.
Lord was referring to Trump's suggestion that his administration could stop funding cost-sharing subsidies in the individual insurance marketplaces set up by the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. These subsidies currently go to insurance companies to allow them to offer lower out-of-pocket costs to low-income Americans.
Estimates show that pulling funding would increase premiums by nearly 20% over the current projection for next year and could lead to an exodus of insurers form the exchanges.
Health policy experts have said the move would be potentially devastating for low-income people and the more than 12 million people currently enrolled in health insurance through the Obamacare exchanges. Additionally, they argue the move would effectively fulfil Trump's claims that the market is "collapsing."
Symone Sanders, the CNN guest opposite Lord and a Democratic activist, pushed back on Lord's claim, saying it was unfair to compare Trump making healthcare more expensive for millions of low-income Americans to the work of King to fight for racial justice in the US.
"There is no similarity. What Donald Trump is doing is he is in over his head, he doesn't understand healthcare is a complicated issue," Sanders said. "He just arrived here — most of us have been here, thank you — and he doesn't understand that these are people's lives."
Lord has repeatedly been a source of controversy during his appearances on CNN.

Weekly outlookJune 15, 2015
Last week, market bears took control of the USD, we saw USD weakness across board despite strong Economic data from the US. The data was unable to convince traders as USD bears were in total control. EURUSD and GBPUSD bulls were at advantage as they pushed prices to 1.13 and 1.55 respectively.
Greece uncertainty remains as there are a lot of rumours and speculations regarding if there will be a deal of no deal. Traders are cautious of going long on Eurusd as Greece might decide not to reach a deal and see what happens to their economy and creditors reaction. Also traders who wants to go short are also having doubts should in case they get a deal. It will be recalled that last week, Greece was unable to reach any deal with IMF. IMF wants Greece government to cut down Pension and Increase VAT.
Federal Open Market Committee meeting (FOMC) holds later this week. The meeting is scheduled for Wednesday. This is an anticipated meeting by traders. This is expected to give some sense of directions to USD and most especially talks about potential rate hike. Many analysts are speculating potential rate hike later this year due to strong economic data coming out from the US economy, especially the jobs data.
Aussie might be at disadvantage if the FOMC meeting ends with some optimistic tone for USD. We might probably see some further downside on AUDUSD especially down to 0.7600. USDJPY might probably climb back up to retest the 125 level.

The Indian film director, producer, actor and writer, Anurag Kashyap is known globally for his work in the Indian cinema. Born on 10th September in 1972 in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh to Sri Prakash Singh who was a retired chief engineer of the UP Power Corporation Limited, he has made his name in the film industry. At first, the director had a desire to become a scientist and he went to Delhi enrolling for higher studies in 'Zoology' at Hans Raj College (University of Delhi) but the turning point in his life came when he was inspired to make movies after seeing, Vittorio De Sica's 'Bicycle Thieves'.
He received little fame for 'Satya' in 1998 as Anurag was the writer of the movie which is considered as one of the finest films of the Indian cinema. It was 'Manoj Bajpayee' who suggested the 'Raman Raghav 2.0' director's name to 'Ram Gopal Verma' for Satya.
He went on to direct a movie in 2000's called 'Paanch' which was his directorial debut movie starring 'Kay Kay Menon', 'Aditya Shrivastava', 'Vijay Maurya', 'Tejaswini Kolhapure' and many more. Paanch is an Indian crime thriller film based somewhat on the concept of 1976-77 'Joshi Abhyankar Serial murders' which happened in Pune. The film had marked its entry as Kashyap's debut movie in Bollywood but it never got a release as it was obstructed by the 'Central Board of Film Certification' due to its dark, abusive, drug abuse and language usage issue. These serial murders which happened in Pune were the real set of inspiration for the 'Akira' actor, however 'Paanch' was cleared by the CBFC in 2001 and it remained without a release in the theatre due to some problems faced by the producer.
The 'Mukkabaaz' director did not make his debut with 'Black Friday' which was based on the theme of the 1993 serial bomb blasts in Mumbai, till now many people are under that notion that this is the first movie but it was 'Paanch'.

Amazing experience
Planning a wedding with Taylor Youngblut, wedding coordinator at Chula Vista, was nothing short of an amazing experience! She truly went above and beyond to make sure we had the most perfect day...even through all of this COVID craziness! I would 100% 10/10 recommend having a wedding at Chula Vista!

Wonderful Experience!
We are so glad that we chose Chula Vista for our wedding and reception. It was a great experience from start to finish, very much due to the professionalism and experience of Rachel Jacobson, Chula's amazing wedding coordinator. Our wedding was Nov. 29, 2019. Everyone especially loved the food we served — we had food stations with various carved meats, and people were raving about them! The staff at the reception were so great as well; they were all very helpful and friendly. I can't say enough about our experience! It was excellent!! The only challenges people had were navigating the resort, but that worked itself out over time. Some of the decor, especially the carpeting in the banquet rooms, was a bit dated, but I've seen they are taking on some renovations. Overall I would recommend Chula as a great choice for a wedding and reception! Thank you Rachel and everyone at Chula Vista for a wonderful wedding and great memories!Sent on 04/01/2020

Rachel at Chula Vista went above and beyond to make our day at the river view deck/ballroom perfect. We were nearly rained out but managed to pull it all outside and make it work. Halfway through the ceremony we walked down to the water park and took a swim in the lazy river- wedding dress, tux and all.Sent on 11/03/2019

My new husband and I had our wedding reception at Chula Vista in the Upper Ballroom. Not only were the view and the venue beautiful, but all of the staff was amazing! We worked with both wedding coordinators- Jenn and Rachel- and were so pleased with their willingness to get us anything and everything we needed! Our reception was absolutely beautiful! We would like to give a special mention to the houseman Cory who helped us with our last minute requests, Jennifer and Will who bartended for us, and Ruth from banquets who with her staff made sure that everyone's needs were met swiftly. Everyone was amazing and made us feel so special! We definitely recommend Chula Vista Resort for any weddings!Sent on 07/02/2018

I did a lot of research in regards to choosing the right venue. I stumbled upon this lovely resort via the internet and fell in love with the location and the reviews were great. So my husband and I went to visit the resort for a tour. It was our first venue touring and right away we knew that this was the venue we wanted to get married at. We were able to choose the ceremony and reception location on the Grand Canyon Golf Course with the beautiful outdoor tent. At the time we met Mikayla and she was great. She always responded to our emails or phone calls fairly quickly and really worked with us to make sure that we were getting everything we needed or wanted. She was always able to answer any questions we had. As our wedding was nearing, unfortunately Mikayla had left the resort and we had a new wedding coordinator, Jenn. She was new and I'm sure overwhelmed with all of the weddings she was thrown into. Yet, she and everybody else in charge helped to make sure everything was a smooth transition and helped to make our wedding one we'll never forget. The resort was very flexible and professional. The day of our wedding was beyond beautiful. Everyone at the resort was beyond helpful and polite. Not to mention that the catering exceeded our exceptions. All of our guests raved about how it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. Our experience at Chula Vista was wonderful and we were so happy that we were able to have our wedding there. The pictures are also breathtaking with the many beautiful locations we were able to choose from surrounding the resort. Just beautiful! And the water parks were an awesome perk before and after the wedding to make a nice mini family vacation out of it.Sent on 08/10/2017

Chula Vista was an amazing place to have our wedding. Mikayla was a fantastic person to work with and was extremely flexible. We were allowed to have a popcorn bar from another place instead of other hotels we looked at who would have made us use their popcorn. Everything we wanted as far as appetizers to late night snacks was flexible and custom to what we wanted. Our only issue, mainly mine, was the non early check in we requested. We wanted to go do the Ducks before the rehearsal and didn't want to drive around with cars packed of stuff but it wasn't a make or break. The food was fantastic, the head chef came to check on us multiple times and made sure everything was good which it was. It may have been a far drive for some but it was completely worth having our wedding there.Sent on 07/01/2015

Chula Vista resort did an amazing job with my wedding. They had 3 other weddings at their resort besides mine. They didn't even break a sweat. We were also suppose to have an outdoor wedding but due to the weather we had to move it inside. Chula Vista helped me make the right decision and came up with an indoor room without a problem. I would reccomend them to anyone!Sent on 01/10/2013

We had the most amazing wedding at the Chula Vista this New Years Eve. We had 300 guests. The wedding ceremony took place in the upstairs ballroom and then transitioned to the first floor area for drinks and appetizers before heading into the grand ballroom for dinner. The staff was so accommodating and extremely friendly. The entire wedding went smoothly thanks to Mikayla, the wedding planner at Chula Vista. She truly made it the best day of our lives by making everything so easy and fun. She and all of the staff, including the bartenders, security, and waiting staff were extremely polite and friendly. We are still getting comments on how amazing the wedding was, how great the food was, and how much fun people had.Sent on 01/07/2016
Overall it wasn't cheap, but I did my research and it would have cost more to do a back yard wedding for 300 people.. After you rent the tables, linens, serving ware, pay for food and drinks, tent, music, photographer, DJ, and then you're still responsible for set up and clean up. At the Chula Vista you can trust them to provide these services to you at your highest expectations. You are free to enjoy your special day instead of running around trying to get things together. Also, to be honest it was NYE and our guests drank a lot! We paid for free beer and wine all night, as well as a champagne pyramid and toast. The booze alone would account for half of our final bill! So overall while the event seemed extremely high end, the wedding itself wasn't too expensive.
I would recommend going to Chula Vista! I had the best time at my wedding and wish I could re-live the night over and over again. Thank you Chula Vista and Mikayla!!
Danielle · Married on 10/01/2016
We had a block of wedding rooms at Chula Vista on our wedding night. Mikayla, the coordinator, was very responsive to emails and phone calls. We LOVED our complimentary bridal suite right down to the thoughtful card and champaign waiting for us. We had a snafu while checking in, our suite was given to my parents instead but it was quickly corrected and was not a problem. My only complaint was that I assumed a "block" of rooms meant they would be near eachother or atleast in the same building but our guests were spread across the campus. It would have been nice to know that ahead of time. Like I said before though, the rooms were great, our guests and us really enjoyed the indoor waterpark and we really enjoyed the morning breakfast buffet on site the next morning. I would recommend Chula Vista to my friends and family for future events.Sent on 10/07/2016

Mikayla, the wedding coordinator at Chula Vista, was so helpful in answering all of our questions and being accommodating. She was always responsive in answering emails, which was a huge relief when you're trying to get things planned. I was a little disappointed in the Chula Vista hotel staff, as I had a few guests tell me that they were not friendly. Banquet staff was great though, and we had many compliments on the excellent food! The best part was having Mikayla and the Events intern, Kayla, there on the day of our wedding to help everything go smoothly. I so appreciated that and it was a huge relief off of my shoulders the day of. We are so happy with our decision to pick Chula Vista for our ceremony and reception!Sent on 10/02/2016

Tired Of Reading On Hrithik- Kangana Controversy? Here Are 10 Things You Can Read Instead!
This Hrithik – Kangana controversy is getting out of hand. It is all over the place!
Maybe you are a Bollywood fan but not that big a fan to keep updated with controversies. Here is the thing about Bollywood controversy. They can be an overkill if it goes on for too long. As one such fraction of the audience who gives no hoots about it, I am actively uninterested in this controversy. For a simple reason – it is gossip and it does not affect my existence in any way possible.
If you too fall in the same category, high five to you as well! If you are tired of the Hrithik-Kangana controversy popping up on your social feed, I have something for you.
Here are some silly things you can read instead of clicking on another article about this he said-she said fiasco and be ever so blissfully ignorant.
#1. Read the last message you sent as drunk text
All of us have sent them! Admit it. Now you can check your inbox and be embarrassed all over again!
#2. Horoscope
Some people think it is utter crap. You can either believe these people or choose to be a rebel and just read your horoscope today!
#3. Any book
Okay I get it, it might take ages to finish one. But! You can totally read an instruction manual lying around your house!
#4.The forwards your mom keeps sending you
Let us all admit it, all of us take our moms for granted. Today, shower her with attention and acknowledgment for sending you forward messages, persistently – by reading them! And also thank her for it.
#5. Facebook status of that friend who keeps traveling abroad
Other times you might hate that jerk who keeps traveling abroad and posting amazing pictures of Greece and Brazil and other fancy places you cannot afford. The only place I visited this year was Bhayandar. Not even funny. So instead of reading shitty Bollywood gossip, try to objectively read this friend's travel diaries and leave positive comments, you never know if you can win a free trip someday!
#6. A menu card
When was the last time you read a menu card – end to end? From the appetizer section to the desserts? Most important thing is to read the Bar menu as well, they are pretty neat!
#7. Aadhar card
Read the details on your Aadhar Card and confirm if the person in it is exactly you or your alter ego. Alter egos cannot hold the same Aadhar card, as per my lacking expertise. They look and sound different than you. Or you can totally look at your Aadhar Card and cry at how ugly you look, thereby becoming ugly while seeing your ugly mug. That's meta! (let's be honest most of us are uglier on the inside as well).
#8. The science of black hole and how everything in life is completely meaningless and ends in death
True story. I would explain more but it is an exercise in vain.
#9. Try to read the person sitting across you in public transport
Guys, this person across me is looking completely annoyed with me. She is trying to decide if I am a regular creep or just people watching. What should I do?
#10. The Obituaries
Death is not funny. I agree. BUT! Some obituaries are!

The benchmark index had been relatively flat for most of the year before posting gains of around 5% since the start of October, closing yesterday at 6,014 points.
Today, it closed 0.03% higher at 6,016 points.
Not since the global financial crisis struck markets around the world in early 2008 has the ASX 200 index, which represents Australia's 200 biggest companies by market capitalisation, been above 6,000 points.
This milestone comes a week after the Australian All Ordinaries index (All Ords) also broke the 6,000 points barrier.
The All Ords encompasses 500 of Australia's biggest listed companies.
The S&P ASX 200 went through 6000 for the first time since 2008. #9Today pic.twitter.com/b99UFtFZrC
— The Today Show (@TheTodayShow) November 7, 2017
Why has the ASX 200 been surging higher?
While a rally in Australian resources stocks (on the back of higher iron ore and oil prices) was the driver of yesterday's impressive gains, Canstar's General Manager of Wealth, Josh Callaghan, said there are two macroeconomic trends that have lifted the index since October.
Retirees with SMSFs are having an impact, according to Mr Callaghan, given the majority of the $700 billion held in SMSFs is now in drawdown mode.
"With the official cash rate firmly stuck at 1.5% and no increases likely in the medium term, there is a lot of this money looking to move up the yield curve and Australian shares are a logical home for the savings of some of these retirees," he said.
Mr Callaghan cited the rising popularity of exchange-traded funds as another contributor to the upward trend of the market.
"Vanguard's Quarterly ETF Report for September 2017 reported that $5.7 billion had already flowed into Australian ETFs this year, up from $3 billion over the whole of 2016," he said.
"The ASX200-related ETFs are among the most popular on the market, which will continue to put upward pressure on the index.
"The ASX Australian Investor Study (2017) found that 84% of lapsed investors intended to return to investing, so passing through this key milestone [6,000 points] is likely to be a trigger for them to return, which is why I'm pretty confident that we have a little way to go yet on this rally."
Chief Market Analyst at CMC Markets Ric Spooner said "time will tell" on whether the ASX 200 pushing beyond 6,000 points was a false break or a new dawn.
"While the ASX 200 broke only narrowly into new high ground yesterday, it did so with good trading volume, finishing close to its high for the day," Mr Spooner said.
"These are often indications of ongoing momentum that could yet re-emerge over coming days to push the index convincingly clear of resistance, indicating renewed confidence."

121 Drawings by Andy Warhol to Go on Display in Upcoming NYC Exhibition
Taking place at Sperone Westwater in SoHo.
Following the New York Academy of Art's major presentation in January, Sperone Westwater will now spotlight a selection of rare drawings by the late Pop Art icon, Andy Warhol. The forthcoming exhibition entitled "Andy Warhol by Hand: Part II, Drawings 1950s-1960s," is curated by Warhol's close friend Vincent Fremont who also co-founded the Andy Warhol Foundation. Fremont's curation focuses on 121 drawings made between the 1950s and 1960s, including portraiture, still lifes, religious iconography, and sketches made by Warhol during his travels.
"It is important for people to know the vital role drawing played in Andy Warhol's life as an artist. By focusing only on Andy's drawings, this exhibition is a way to highlight without distraction Andy's innovative process and experimentation which encompassed pen and ink, blotted line and graphite," said Fremont in a statement.
The exhibition will run through April 25 until June 29. Head over to Sperone Westwater's website to learn more about the presentation.
Elsewhere in art, Keith Haring's last print made before his death in 1990 will be sold at a Phillips New York auction this week.

Chemistry at TUB - Welcome
Chemistry is one of the basic natural sciences where a focal point of research is on materials, their synthesis, and properties.
Research in the Institute of Chemistry focuses on catalysis and contributes to areas such as synthesis, solid-state chemistry, and materials science. Main areas of scientific activities involve physical and theoretical chemistry, biological chemistry, and chemical engineering. In catalysis activities range from homogeneous over heterogeneous to biocatalysis. These topics are addressed by the Cluster of Excellence "Unifying Concepts in Catalysis" (UniCat) located primarily at TUB.
Another focus in research at the Institute of Chemistry is the self-assembly of soft matter systems at interfaces. Within the framework of the International Graduate Research Training Group 1524 (SSNI) a broad spectrum of themes ranging from protein adsorption to processes at biological membranes is investigated by a US-German Team of researchers with backgrounds in Physical Chemistry and Physics. TU Berlin is the host university of this project.
New junior professor at the Institute of Chemistry
Franziska Hess has been a junior professor for chemical catalysis at TU Berlin since April 2020. Her area of work lies in the modeling of heterogeneous catalysts and catalyst stability. She completed her dissertation on "DFT-based Kinetic Monte Carlo Simulations of oxidation reactions over the RuO2 (110) model catalyst surface" in 2015 under the supervision of Herbert Over at the Institute for Physical Chemistry at Justus Liebig University Giessen. Subsequently, she worked with Bilge Yildiz's group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to investigate the driving force of the degradation of cathode materials in solid oxide fuel cells. In 2019 she received funding from the Liebig scholarship from the Fund of the Chemical Industry, which enabled her to deepen her research at RWTH Aachen University in the field of modeling catalyst stability. The goal of her research is to develop theoretical models for the long-term stability of catalyst systems and suitable descriptors that are able to predict catalysts that are both active and stable. Another focus is the optimization of existing simulation methods for chemical kinetics by taking into account the influence of lateral interactions between adsorbed molecules.

I' am working on my project: Evaluation quality of the 3D model reconstructed from scans in VR. The idea is, that we have more methods for the 3D model reconstruction from the same scans and I want to find the best method. People should evaluate the quality of the reconstructed model in Virtual Reality.
What are the most important features, that should this application have? I' am thinking about these features:
- load and display more models of the object (from different methods) at the same time
- manipulation with the object (one reconstructed object or one reconstructed object and ground truth model or more objects)
- center camera to the same part of all loaded object
- align all objects to the same center point
- show differences between the model and ground truth in color schema (such as blue-green-red schema)
What do you think about these features? Are they useful from your point of view? Do you have other ideas? Please share them. Thanks
