I've been shopping Shopbop sales for years now and this is THE sale to get that classic bag, the best jeans or a nice pair of shoes. My wish list is always at least three pages long but I always make sure to go the quality over quantity. I've gotten most of my Salvatore Ferragamo flats during one of those sales, as well as most of my AG jeans.
Some of my wardrobe staples are a nice pair of flats, heels are great but I tend to favor comfort. Here are a few of my favorites.
Next, a nice pair of well fitted jeans is a must. Over the years I've gotten over distressed denim and currently favor just a classic pair of black, blue or dark blue jeans. Preferably a skinny or straight leg.
Several of my bags are from there, specially my Madewell totes since they rarely go on sale.
Here are some of my current personal favorites. I have a few of these pieces like these combat boots, they are a new and a bit out of my comfort zone but I've always loved this style. They look great with dresses and mini skirts. I also just got these jeans and they are one of the best fitting jeans I've ever tried.
I got a leopard print cami last year and I've been loving it, this one looks like a winner too. These leopard print loafers are high on my wishlist and you already know how obsessed I am with this bodysuit. Sharing more favorites that I own and love below.
I've come to love Rails shirts, they are the softest and the quality is amazing.
Wolford bodysuits don't come cheap but one will last you forever and they look brand new after several washes, here I'm wearing the Bahamas in small. This cute little bag is also on sale in a gold version as well as my favorite belt. My black square sunglasses are also part of the sale, I've been wearing them non stop.
Misa Los Angeles dresses are so flattering and girly, I know it's Fall right now but they are Spring/Summer staples for me.
This classic bag and booties are two staples that are also part of the sale.
Happy Shopping and take advantage of this sale but remember if you have everything you need then be even smarter and save your money.

Amid reports of students taking to the streets in protest against the possibility of 44 educational institutions losing their deemed university status, Union Minister for Human Resource Development (HRD) Kapil Sibal on Tuesday said the affected students would still get their degrees whatever be the fate of their universities.
Task force report
At a press conference here, Mr. Sibal said the Ministry had not derecognised any institution.
All that the government had done was accept the report of the task force that looked into the functioning of all deemed universities. The task force had recommended that these institutions be derecognised as they did not meet the standards.
"The matter is in court and I do not want to say anything right now. But I would like to assure all the students that no one will be adversely affected by the findings of the task force. Students will get a university degree," the Minister said.
As per the affidavit submitted by the Ministry in the Supreme Court, an estimated 1,19,363 students enrolled in the 44 institutions at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels, 2,124 doing M.Phil and Ph.D and 74,808 students pursuing distance education programmes would be able to continue their studies as the colleges would continue to be affiliated to the universities to which they were earlier affiliated.
Provision may go
Given the controversies that surrounded the deemed university system, the Minister hinted that the provision of granting deemed university status under Section 3 of the University Grants Commission Act may be done away with when the higher education system is restructured.

Harare [Zimbabwe], Nov 25 (ANI): A Zimbabwean High court judge has ruled the military action against former president Robert Mugabe that led to his resignation as legal.
According to the Zimbabwe Mail, High Court Judge Justice George Chiweshe ruled that "Operation Restore Legacy" was constitutionally permissible and lawful.
On Friday, Zimbabwe's former vice-president Emmerson Mnangagwa was sworn-in as the president of the country after Mugabe resigned on Tuesday to stop impeachment process against him in parliament
The impeachment process was initiated after he refused to resign till Monday afternoon, the deadline set by ruling ZANU-PF party.
Earlier, Zimbabwe's military seized power on Wednesday to force 93-year-old Mugabe out of office.
Wild celebrations broke out at a joint sitting of parliament when Speaker Jacob Mudenda announced Mugabe's resignation and suspended the impeachment procedure, reported The Telegraph.
The Speaker read out Robert Mugabe's resignation letter to the parliament.
"I Robert Gabriel Mugabe, in terms of Section 96 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe, hereby formally tender my resignation... with immediate effect," said Speaker Mudenda, reading the letter.
The Telegraph quoted the letter as saying that Mugabe was tendering his resignation to "allow a smooth transfer of power". The letter was read out in front of a cheering and dancing parliament.
The ruling party chose Emmerson Mnangagwa to replace Mugabe.
Mnangagwa, a veteran of the liberation war and for decades Mugabe's right-hand man, had earlier fled into exile after being sacked from his position and the Zanu-PF.
The proposal of the impeachment motion was drafted by ZANU-PF party, which had earlier expelled Mugabe from the party. Mugabe's 52-year-old wife has also been booted out from the party.
The impeachment motion said Mugabe is a "source of instability", has shown disrespect for the rule of law, and is to blame for an unprecedented economic tailspin over the past 15 years, and allowed his wife, Grace Mugabe, to "usurp constitutional power".(ANI)

Though India has a very small Christian population, estimated to be less than 3 percent, Christmas is celebrated in cities across religious lines. The government of India also recognizes Christmas Day as a public holiday. Christmas customs and traditions vary across India depending on the region. Places with the highest density of Christians include the states of Kerala, Goa, and the Northeast.
Kerala is home to the oldest Christian population in India — the Syrian Christian community. In fact, if their claim of being converted in A.D. 52 is taken as truth, they are literally one of the oldest Christian communities in the entire world. According to local legends, Saint Thomas himself arrived in Kerala and converted 12 people directly to the Christian faith. When European traders started arriving around the 15th and 16th centuries, other sects like Catholics, Jesuits, and Protestants started converting people. As a consequence, Kerala's Christian community accounts for about 18 percent of its population.
People attend church mass during the day. At night, children carry candles and walk the neighborhood singing Christmas carols. Homes are decorated with big Christmas stars and lights. Firecrackers are lit at night and turn the sky into a dazzling display of colors. In the city of Cochin, they also have a "Burning the Santa" event as part of Christmas celebrations. As the name suggests, a huge effigy of Santa Claus is burned at night and thousands of people dance joyously around it.
When it comes to food, traditional Christmas dishes include neyyappam (a rice-based flatbread), stew, and kappa biryani (a tapioca-based preparation). Influences from the West has resulted in plum cakes and wine becoming mainstream food items. And since Kerala is a coastal state, dishes made from fish also form a big part of the celebrations.
Some of the famous churches to attend on Christmas include St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Catholic Church in Malayattoor, Santa Cruz Basilica in Cochin, and St. Francis C.S.I. Church in Fort Kochi, which is considered a national monument.
Goa is a popular tourist destination in India and is known for its beautiful beaches. The state witnessed heavy conversion into Catholicism after European arrival post renaissance. As such, it has a dense Christian population like Kerala. Since it was a Portuguese colony, the oldest churches in the region have a distinct classical European architecture.
Christmas in Goa is huge. In fact, since it coincides with the famous Sunburn Festival in December, Christmas celebrations have a party flavor in Goa. Fireworks, nighttime music concerts, and dances will keep you entertained during the Christmas days. Special dishes include dodol (a sweet preparation) and fruit cakes. On January 6, a procession is carried out to mark the feast of Maggi. Some of the churches to visit during Christmas include the Church of Our Lady of Immaculate Conception in Panjim and the Basilica of Bom Jesus in Old Goa.
Northeast region
In India, the northeast is generally underdeveloped due to its location as a hilly region. It also has a low population compared to the rest of India. Yet, the northeast boasts of the highest density of Christians in the country. In the states of Meghalaya, Mizoram, and Nagaland, over 80 percent of the population are Christians.
People in the region are strongly influenced by Western Christian traditions. As such, one can see English Christmas carols being played at churches, people dressed up as Santa Claus, and decorative lights in streets and homes. The best place to celebrate Christmas in the northeast is in Shillong, the capital of Meghalaya.

What is Serelax?
Serelax is a natural supplement that claims to help relieve symptoms associated with anxiety and low mood.
Table of Contents [Show]
For many people, these can include a change in appetite and sleeping patterns, irritability and stress, feelings of being overwhelmed and a general disinterest in life.
While there are many causes of low mood and anxiety, it can often be attributed to our fast-paced, stressful lives; Serelax aims to address all the causes and help the individual regain their quality of life.
What Serelax Claims To Do?
Serelax is said to support a better mood naturally, using a blend of ingredients that are safe for long term use and unlikely to cause side effects, which is the problem many people have with prescription medications of this type.
By affecting the neurotransmitters in the brain and balancing brain chemicals, it may help reduce anxiety and stress, promote calmness and a feeling of well-being and support levels of the body's own natural 'feel-good' hormones. It should be noted that Serelax is targeted at people with mild cases of low mood, not those with severe depression.
What are the Key Ingredients in Serelax?
Serelax provides optimal doses of several key active ingredients which include:
- GABA – A key neurotransmitter found in the brain that supports feelings of calmness and relaxation.[1]
- Passionflower – A natural botanical that has been studied for its effect on panic and anxiety levels[2].
- L-Theanine – An amino acid which has a mild tranquilizing effect on the body without causing drowsiness[3].
- Valerian – A substance that in addition to reducing feelings of stress and anxiety may also enhance the benefits of GABA[4].
- Skullcap – This member of the mint family is a relaxant and said to be particularly beneficial for nervous tension[5].
- Jujube – An extract of a South Asian fruit, Jujube supports a reduction in irritability as well as acting as a muscle relaxant[6].
- Kava Kava – This ingredient is used in Serelax to provide mental clarity while supporting a better mood and feelings of contentment[7].
What are the Advantages of Serelax?
- Promotes feelings of well-being and an elevated mood
- Contains clinically studied ingredients that are safe for long term use
- Provides optimal amounts of key ingredients in every dose
- Has received positive customer reviews
- Can be taken as part of the Serenity System with Somulin
What are the Disadvantages of Serelax?
- Free samples aren't offered
How Much is Serelax?
Serelax is available from the manufacturer's website at a cost of $34.50 per bottle of 60 capsules. Customers can save money by purchasing it in larger quantities or as part of the Serenity System, with a bottle of Somulin.
It is recommended that Serelax is taken at a dose of 1 capsule, twice a day. Each capsule contains an optimal amount of the key ingredients and it is not advisable to take any more than the recommended dose.
Serelax Review – The Bottom Line
While anyone suffering from severe depression or anxiety should see a medical professional, Serelax may be helpful for people with milder symptoms. The natural ingredients in the formula are specifically designed to support several issues associated with a low mood, stress, and anxiety and may offer an alternative to expensive prescription medications that often carry the risk of side effects and dependency. With Serelax, the user can feel confident knowing that the formula works with their own body chemistry for safe and effective results.

You will be taken to an external provider profile web page.Write a message
I grew up on an equestrian farm where I helped young children by giving them beginner riding lessons or watched them while their parents were busy riding themselves. Since then, I have always loved being around children and over the years have nannied/babysat for many families. I can help with meal prep, cleaning, and homework. This past year, my last year at university, I babysat the dean's two sons twice a week; I drove them to practices, came up with fun activities to keep them from only relying on technology for entertainment, and made sure they did their homework and ate a healthy snack. Since moving to NYC, I haven't had the chance to be around children but would really love to again. I am incredibly capable, punctual, and have found that children enjoy my company as much as I do theirs.

SAN DIEGO - The San Diego Gulls have the hottest team in town with a six-game winning streak, but even on their day off, they work.
Players spent Monday afternoon playing street hockey with dozens of kids and several police officers.
The idea behind the event sparked a few months back between San Diego Police Chief Shelley Zimmerman and Gulls Head Coach Dallas Eakins as a way to bring the community together. Dozens of kids came out to Southcrest Park and Rec center just to play.
"Mostly joy," said Marcus Pettersson, Gulls defenseman. "They think it's awesome and fun to be out here and that's what I feel like it's all about. First and foremost have fun and then practice your skills later. Their all having fun out here and so are we."
Also jumping in on the fun were dozens of police officers, including Chief Zimmerman.
"To see the smiles on our kids faces, our officers' faces, the Gulls players," said Zimmerman. "Everybody's just out here having a great time and this is just what it's all about."
While the inaugural event gives kids a chance to learn hockey from the professionals, Zimmerman adds that it's also a chance to build relationships.
"Most of them have never held a hockey stick before but to do that with our police officers in a fun, friendly environment that just builds trust," said Zimmerman. "I'll tell you it's just a win for all of us today in San Diego. This is a great event, many more to come."
Gulls players say being a role model to those in the community is a privilege and that events like these further put that honor in perspective.
"To kind of come in and show guidance to kids and just try to teach them another sport, it's awesome," said Gulls center Mitch Hults. "You don't get feelings like that much and to be able to do that is pretty cool."
Between the kids and the players, it's hard to tell who had more fun playing street hockey.
"It's an awesome experience," said Hults. "I touched on it earlier, especially to come out on a day off, we don't do much anyway and to come out and make a kid smile and there's not a better thing in the world I would say."
The Gulls will look to continue their six-game winning streak Wednesday night when they host the Bakersfield Condors at 7 p.m.

In the month-long history of Nevada's legalized weed market, there's been one big, odd restriction on distribution licenses. You couldn't get one unless you were a liquor wholesaler. But now the state of legal prostitution and gambling is opening their arms to non booze-pushers.
On Thursday the Nevada Department of Taxation decided that there might be people and entities capable of distributing cannabis other than deep-pocketed companies whose bread and butter is keeping people drunk so they gamble their savings away. Like, for instance, medical marijuana providers will now be eligible for recreational licenses, which makes sense since they're the only ones in the state with any legal marijuana business experience.
Nevada's liquor wholesalers previously fought a similar measure in court last month, despite the fact that none at that time had actually completed the licensing process.
The decision to widen access to cannabis distribution licenses came because the state simply did not have a big enough legal supply to keep their law abiding stoners high. Tax officials argued this could make for a market where consumers would be forced to turn to the black market, making the state's legal weed program basically pointless.
Last month, Gov. Brian Sandoval backed the NDT's approval of an emergency measure to meet the demands of Nevada's pot smokers. Cannabis retailers had reported over 40,000 transactions in the first weekend of legal sales alone.
"I think the evidence is fairly clear today that this market needs to be opened up," Deonne Contine, executive director of the Nevada Department of Taxation, told the commission, according to the Associated Press. "The capacity of only liquor wholesalers to serve the market seems lacking."
The NDT will review roughly 80 applications it received in May and begin awarding licenses soon after.

Wednesday Wed
Thursday Thu
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 3 days on 9 April 2062 at 17:17.
Moon rises in the morning and sets in the evening. It is visible toward the southwest in early evening.
Moon is passing about ∠14° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 2.6% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1964" and ∠1913".
Next Full Moon is the Pink Moon of April 2062 after 10 days on 23 April 2062 at 16:57.
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
The Moon is 4 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the beginning to the first part of current synodic month. This is lunation 770 of Meeus index or 1723 from Brown series.
Length of current 770 lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 6 minutes. It is 2 hours and 17 minutes longer than next lunation 771 length.

This lunation true anomaly is ∠301.6°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠325.7°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Moon is reaching point of perigee on this date at 17:32, this is 12 days after last apogee on 1 April 2062 at 14:06 in ♑ Capricorn. Lunar orbit is starting to get wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth for 15 days ahead, until it will get to the point of next apogee on 29 April 2062 at 08:55 in ♑ Capricorn.
This perigee Moon is 367 906 km (228 606 mi) away from Earth. It is 5 398 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 2 450 km farther than the closest perigee of 21st century.
5 days after its ascending node on 8 April 2062 at 08:18 in ♈ Aries, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 7 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 21 April 2062 at 04:56 in ♎ Libra.
5 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♈ Aries, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
12 days after previous South standstill on 31 March 2062 at 23:35 in ♐ Sagittarius, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-28.700°. Next day the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠28.655° in the next northern standstill on 14 April 2062 at 15:56 in ♊ Gemini.
After 10 days on 23 April 2062 at 16:57 in ♎ Libra, the Moon will be in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.

2019 Acura RDX: Pricing Starts at $37,300, Matches Old One's AcuraWatch-Equipped Price
Torque-Vectoring SH-AWD Adds $2,000
The 2019 Acura RDX will start at $37,300, plus a $995 destination charge, which Acura says is the same price as a 2018 model optioned with AcuraWatch active-safety technologies. The base 2019 RDX, which comes standard with AcuraWatch, will demand $1,300 more than the base 2018 RDX.
Acura is rightfully proud of its relative price consistency given the 2019 RDX comes with plenty of extra features compared to its predecessor. A standard panoramic moonroof, 10-speed automatic transmission, more spacious interior, and stiffer body structure add up to a comprehensively improved RDX for about the same price as its predecessor.
The company's torque-vectoring Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) adds $2,000 to the price, which is a bit dearer than the outgoing RDX's less dynamic all-wheel drive that cost $1,500. The $39,300 RDX SH-AWD still represents a decent value compared to other luxury crossovers, but it is $500 more than the vehicle it replaces.
As before, Acura will offer the RDX in base, Technology, and Advance trim levels. The front-wheel-drive 2019 RDX Technology will demand $40,500, which is actually $500 cheaper than the 2018 Technology FWD. The 2019 Technology SH-AWD will cost $42,500, the same as its 2018 equivalent.
The Advance, which comes much better equipped than the outgoing model's similar trim level, will cost $45,400 with front-wheel drive or $47,400 with SH-AWD. Those numbers are $2,700 and $3,200 more than their 2018 equivalents, owing to the Advance package's standard heads-up display, ventilated seating, genuine wood accents, and more.
New for 2019 and making its first appearance on an SUV is the company's A-Spec sport appearance package. A-Spec, which adds sporty styling, unique interior finishes, and exclusive exterior colors, slots in between the RDX Technology and Advance. It will cost $43,500 with front-wheel drive or $45,500 with all-wheel drive.
Acura is keen to point out that the RDX offers a better value quotient than its European competitors: the $41,500 Audi Q5, the $41,000 BMW X3, the $40,050 Mercedes-Benz GLC300, and the $41,500 Volvo XC60. The company claims that comparably equipped to RDX Advance levels, the European competition would cost an extra $7,000 or more. And adding all of the driver-assist features that come standard on the base-model RDX would require adding extra equipment to those aforementioned SUVs.
But of course, the Acura's aggressive pricing strategy is only good if it's attached to a competent vehicle. We can't tell you much on that front just yet, so watch this space for driving impressions of the 2019 Acura RDX soon. The RDX, which went into production last week, will hit dealers June 1.

The biggest news in the price of silver this week has very little to do with the actual price.
In fact, silver has gone basically nowhere as it continues to consolidate around the $14.15 level in search of a catalyst.
What's worth noting, however, is that the U.S. Mint has sold out its inventory of 2018 American Eagle Silver Bullion Coins.
Urgent: This catastrophe could bring the U.S. economy to its knees – and make the Great Recession seem like a day at the beach. Read more…
August proved to be the strongest month since January 2017, with sales reaching 1.53 million units, up an impressive 72% over July levels.
Of course, this sort of demand has caused dealers to boost premiums all the way to 25% in some cases, as savvy buyers scooped up coins on two-year lows in silver prices.
So with silver prices low and possibly consolidating and the gold-to-silver ratio at levels not seen in 25 years, the metal has clearly become irresistible to some bargain hunters.
Here's How the Price of Silver Is Moving This Week
After big selling pressure pushed the silver price down two weeks ago from about the $14.50 level to $14.15, the grey metal has managed to hold above $14 while averaging $14.15.
Throughout the past week, it has had to contend with an obviously erratic U.S. dollar, whose index has ranged from 94.90 all the way to 95.70.
That's a huge range over just five days – yet increasingly typical of what's going on with currencies these days.
Here's a view of the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) over the past five trading days:
By Monday, the DXY had retreated back to the low 95 area, around 95.15, which allowed for silver to regain and hold around $14.15.
Now, here's where I see the price of silver heading from here…
Here's What to Expect from the Price of Silver Now

Within the Austrian kataster, area 1620 is the Western Totes Gebirge. Area 1623 is the Loser - Augst-Eck plateau (including CUCC's area) and 1626 is the area to the north and northwest. Starting from Rettenbachtal (the valley just beyond Blaa-Alm, at the end of the left branch at the start of the Loser Panoramastraße), everything to the north and west of the valley of Grüne Bichl, is in 1626. The boundary then follows the ridge crest of Schönberg, then a rather ill-defined line to the Wildenseehütte. To the east here is area 1627, and the eastern border of 1626 turns north.
There are a number of very significant systems within the area, only one of which has been visited by CUCC, as they tend to be difficult of access, or very much reserved to the Austrian cavers. The latter applies particularly to Raucherkarhöhle with its many entrances near the Ischler Hütte, accessible by paths from Rettenbach. This is well documented on the website of the corresponding Austrian caving club, the Landesverein für Höhlenkunde in Oberosterreich.
The other major systems lie around the high Hintergras and Feuertal valleys north of the Schönberg ridge line, and reached only by immense and steep climbs up from the north to the Ebenseer Hochkogelhütte. The oldest and most extensive cave in this area is Ahnenschacht, visited by the B.E.C. in the late sixties, and pushed by many other groups since.
Both French and Belgian cavers, associated with the GSAB explored a series of deep systems in the seventies - about the same time that CUCC first visited Austria. These include Trunkemboldschacht -854m; the four entrances of Feuertalsystem -913m; and the smaller Ufoschacht or Gouffre Ovni, -565m.
Two expeditions by LUSS in the late eighties explored caves on the 1623/1626 border, with all the significant finds lying in the 1626 area. These included Lungehöhle -375m; Sternloch -331m and Ratselhöhle -425m. Their access route was either from Grundlsee or via the Toll road - both ways around five hour walks-in.
As you might expect, CUCC has visited only the most accessible cave in the area, the resurgence of Naglsteghöhle, which is a pleasant five minute stroll from the bar at Blaa-Alm.
There are approaching two hundred caves known at present in the area, but CUCC have very few details of most of these, so, apart from those mentioned above, they are not included in these web pages at present.

Quite a Year
Reflecting on the 2017, for our Year in Review story, we wouldn't blame anyone who would want to rush ahead to 2018.
It seems as if our county was hit with unique and monumentally tragic situations – a fatal plane crash, a devastating flood – to name just a couple. In the background of these headlines, we still had the usual bits of bad news – the continuing drug problem, or heinous acts described via court news.
However, as we referenced in our Year in Review, there were always moments of hope. We were able to write about kids doing remarkable things, whether it is collecting pop tabs for sick kids or displaying a random act of kindness to a stranger.
We had the true honor of interviewing some wonderful people, such as Bill Cross, who inspires us all to live life to the fullest.
Thus, regardless of what life hands to us in 2018, we know we will persevere – as we did in 2017. We will report on the bad, but also highlight the positive. There is always hope.

Agency Information Collection Activities; Comment Request; Work Application/Job Order Recordkeeping, 12004-12005 [2019-06056]Download as PDF
[Federal Register Volume 84, Number 61 (Friday, March 29, 2019)] [Notices] [Pages 12004-12005] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 2019-06056] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Employment and Training Administration Agency Information Collection Activities; Comment Request; Work Application/Job Order Recordkeeping ACTION: Notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Department of Labor's (DOL's), Employment and Training Administration (ETA) is soliciting comments concerning a proposed extension for the authority to conduct the information collection request (ICR) titled, ``Work Application/Job Order Recordkeeping.'' This comment request is part of continuing Departmental efforts to reduce paperwork and respondent burden in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA). DATES: Consideration will be given to all written comments received by May 28, 2019. ADDRESSES: A copy of this ICR with applicable supporting documentation, including a description of the likely respondents, proposed frequency of response, and estimated total burden, may be obtained free by contacting Adriana Kaplan by telephone at 202-693-3740 (this is not a toll-free number), TTY 1-877-889-5627 (this is not a toll-free number), or by email at [email protected]. Submit written comments about, or requests for a copy of, this ICR by mail or courier to the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Office of Workforce Investment, 200 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20210; by email: [email protected]; or by Fax at 202-693-3817. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Adriana Kaplan by telephone 202.693.3740 (this is not a toll-free number) or by email at [email protected]. Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOL, as part of continuing efforts to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a pre-clearance consultation program to provide the general public and Federal agencies an opportunity to [[Page 12005]] comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of information before submitting them to the OMB for final approval. This program helps to ensure requested data can be provided in the desired format, reporting burden (time and financial resources) is minimized, collection instruments are clearly understood, and the impact of collection requirements can be properly assessed. This ICR collects the required information for work applications and job order recordkeeping. The exact information collected is determined by the State. At a minimum, the information to be collected is that which enables the State to comply with regulations under 20 CFR 652 and the Wagner-Peyser Act. In June 2016, OMB approved the Information Collection Request (ICR), OMB control number 1205-0001, that allows the Department of Labor and Department of Education (the Departments) to collect information from States pertaining to work applications and job orders and their retention of that data. OMB granted approval for the ICR through September of 2019. 29 U.S.C. 49 (The Wagner-Peyser Act) authorizes this information collection. This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and the public is generally not required to respond to an information collection, unless it is approved by OMB under the PRA and displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information that does not display a valid Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. Interested parties are encouraged to provide comments to the contact shown in the ADDRESSES section. Comments must be written to receive consideration, and they will be summarized and included in the request for OMB approval of the final ICR. In order to help ensure appropriate consideration, comments should mention OMB control number 1205-0001. Submitted comments will also be a matter of public record for this ICR and posted on the internet, without redaction. DOL encourages commenters not to include personally identifiable information, confidential business data, or other sensitive statements/information in any comments. DOL is particularly interested in comments that:
Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. Agency: DOL-ETA. Type of Review: Extension without changes. Title of Collection: Work Application/Job Order Recordkeeping. Form: N/A. OMB Control Number: 1205-0001. Affected Public: State governments. Estimated Number of Respondents: 52. Frequency: Annually. Total Estimated Annual Responses: 52. Estimated Average Time per Response: 8 hours. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 416 hours. Total Estimated Annual Other Cost Burden: $0. Molly E. Conway, Acting Assistant Secretary for Employment and Training.

Janeene Herchold created Carnival by using a variety of surface embellishments to enhance the basic design shapes. She used beads, threads, ribbons, fabric paints and more to add dimensions and volume. The design is raw edge fused to the background and the shapes are couched around the edges for definition. Some shapes are filled with beads, pompoms, etc. for added volume. Everything was completed by hand with the machine used only to add the binding.
This quilt pattern was by Dr. Margaret Docherty of England, a pediatrician who designed this pattern in her free time. Patsy saw this quilt in a magazine and fell in love with it. "It took me 1 1/2 years to appliqué it and 6 months to quilt it." It is needleturn appliqué and hand quilted.
Renae says that "this quilt includes many different techniques. One of those techniques is shadow embroidery. The colored fabric shows through the white fabric, hence the name Beauty from Within."
Here's just one of Sandra Leichner's Best of Show Quilts. It's Tea with Miss D. and it won Best of Show at MQX-West. Among its other many awards it won the Master Award Contemporary Artistry in Houston and Viewer's Choice at the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival.

Ravendale Star: by Linda Fleschner. Exhibited at IQA Houston 2015. Winner of 3rd Place, Mixed Technique.
Artist Statement:
I did not design the entire quilt before I started, but I knew I would use the Ravendale paisley print in a Radiant Star. When that was finished, I designed the border feather, staying with a black and white palette (a big departure from the bright colors I normally use).
Modified English paper piecing, fused applique with machine satin stitch, hand-guided free-motion and ruler work longarm quilting, hand-sewn beads.
Commerical cottons for top and back, two layers of batting (cotton first, wool on top) Gutermann polyester thread for piecing, applique, and quilting
Winner: 2nd Place Merit Quilt, Machine - Stationary - Sponsored by BERNINA of America - IQA Houston 2015
Artist's Statement:
Tea for Two - Inspired by Cindy Needham, I took my mother's old tablecloth and made it into a quilt. When I was very little, my father used to sing "Tea for Two" and dance the old soft shoe, so I thought that was a appropriate title. I'm very happy with how this turned out!

San Diego Zoo & Safari Park to get Animal Planet Series
THE ZOO: SAN DIEGO (working title) coming later this year
The San Diego Zoological Society announced today they're teaming up with Animal Planet for a brand-new show!
The series will go behind-the-scenes at the San Diego Zoo Global, and both parks, the San Diego Zoo and the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.
The working title is THE ZOO: SAN DIEGO, and is expected to debut later this year.
San Diego Zoo Global's mission to save animal species worldwide will be highlighted, and the series will have a special look at a wide range of animals, the animal ambassador program, and the teams that care for the animals including the keepers and the veterinarians as they work toward that mission.
Some of the animals expected to be featured on the series include pandas, giraffes, Galápagos tortoises, koalas, elephants, mountain lions, and the two young cheetahs who are in training to become animal ambassadors.
Erin Wanner, Senior Vice President of Production for Animal Planet said in the Zoo's press release, "The San Diego Zoo is a cherished landmark, recognized for its contribution to conservation, and a place where generations of families have learned about and celebrated wildlife. We are thrilled to partner with this iconic institution to help shine a light on their work with some of the planet's most amazing creatures."
"The vision of San Diego Zoo Global is to lead the fight against extinction," said Rick Schwartz, San Diego Zoo Global ambassador. "We know that this compelling program will not only delight and engage viewers, but will also provide a global platform for us to share incredible stories of the conservation efforts that our organization has undertaken to ensure the survival of endangered species."

wacky day
Tom decided what he was wearing - his clothes the wrong way round, his sunglasses on the back on his head and my slippers with his summer clothes. Tommy wore odd socks and shoes with cropped trousers, a shirt and tie and big hat. Josh didn't want to wear anything wacky, but settled with his PJ bottoms on his head. It was pretty funny seeing the ideas the bigger kids came up with...
Ok so start with the nursery/kindergarten - barely wacky, just enough to amuse themselves
Then Kindergarten - mildly more so...
then go through a few more grades, each getting sillier and sillier, here Tommys class looking quite striking!

Happy Healthy People Living Active and Connected Lives
The Active Wellbeing Society (TAWS) is a community benefit society and cooperative working to develop healthy, happy communities living active and connected lives.
Our vision is for a society where people have the autonomy, capacity, resources and skills to become the architects of their own destiny; where our individual wellbeing is recognised as being bound up in our collective responsibility to and dependency on each other; and where all of us feel empowered as agents of social change to make a difference – whether at an individual level or more widely.
By working collaboratively with communities we aim to bring about sustainable change on an social, environmental and economic level; to do the social knitting required to create stronger and more resilient communities and to support communities to identify, mitigate and remove the barriers that prevent them from living active and connected lives.
The Society was developed out of the successful Wellbeing Service set up by Birmingham City Council in June 2015.

Learn how to listen to events whenever certain actions occur on your integration.
What are webhooks?
Whenever certain transaction actions occur on your Paystack integration, we trigger events which your application can listen to. This is where webhooks come in. A webhook is a URL on your server where we send payloads for such events. For example, if you implement webhooks, once a payment is successful, we will immediately notify your server with a
charge.success event. Here is a list of events we can send to your webhook URL.
Helpful Tip
You can specify your webhook URL on your dashboard where we would send
POST requests to whenever an event occurs.
Here are some things to note when setting up a webhook URL:
- If using
.htaccess, remember to add the trailing
/to the url you set.
- Do a test post to your URL and ensure the script gets the post body.
- Ensure your webhook URL is publicly available (localhost URLs cannot receive events)
Receiving an event
All you have to do to receive the event is to create an unauthenticated
POST route on your application. The event object is sent as JSON in the request body.
- Node
1// Using Express2app.post("/my/webhook/url", function(req, res) {3 // Retrieve the request's body4 var event = req.body;5 // Do something with event6 res.send(200);7});
Verifying events
It is important to verify that events originate from Paystack to avoid delivering value based on a countefeit event.
You can do any or both of the below to verify events from Paystack:
- Validate the Signature - Valid events are raised with an header
X-Paystack-Signaturewhich is essentially a
HMAC SHA512signature of the event payload signed using your secret key.
- Watch the IPs - We only call your webhooks from these IPs:
You can whitelist these IPs. Any webhook from outside of these can safely be considered counterfeit.
1var crypto = require('crypto');2var secret = process.env.SECRET_KEY;3// Using Express4app.post("/my/webhook/url", function(req, res) {5 //validate event6 var hash = crypto.createHmac('sha512', secret).update(JSON.stringify(req.body)).digest('hex');7 if (hash == req.headers['x-paystack-signature']) {8 // Retrieve the request's body9 var event = req.body;10 // Do something with event11 }12 res.send(200);13});
Responding to an event
You should respond to an event with a
200 OK. We consider this an acknowledgement by your application. If your application responds with any status outside of the
2xx range, we will consider it unacknowledged and thus, continue to send it every hour for 72 hours. You don't need to send a request body or some other parameter as it would be discarded - we only pay attention to the status code.
If your application is likely to start a long running task in response to the event, Paystack may timeout waiting for the response and would ultimately consider the event unacknowledged and queue to be raised later. You can mitigate duplicity by having your application respond immediately with a 200 before it goes on to perform the rest of the task.

33% of people who retire have no savings at all, and 40% of those are baby boomers who retire without sufficient savings. The result? Many seniors today either retire late or are unable to retire comfortably because their savings can't keep up with the lifestyle they are accustomed to. But retiring on a fixed income is possible, provided that retirees take the right precautions with their finances.
Limitations of Living on Fixed Income
Retirees may resent having to scale back on food, entertainment, or travel after putting in 30, 40, or 50 years in the workforce.. It is natural to feel entitled to more of life's pleasures, but budgeting takes on a whole new meaning within the confines of a fixed income.
Think of retirement dollars as fitting inside a box. Everything has to move around inside of it, so in order to increase in one area, something else inside the box will have to decrease. Of course, some items in the box are non-negotiable, such as health insurance and medications. Other items, such as food, clothing, and entertainment, can be reshuffled inside the box. Unless there is a way to add more dollars to the box, there may be concessions that will have to be made.
Ways to Stretch Further
The key to living comfortably on a tight budget is learning how to make each dollar stretch further:
- Eat less meat or buy less expensive cuts.
- Buy items, such as paper goods and canned goods, in bulk.
- Buy larger packaged items that can be divided and frozen.
- Take full advantage of senior discounts.
- Pay for expenses with a high-reward credit card (spending no more than what you earn), and use the reward points for travel and other expenditures.
- Find and utilize free memberships/samples/etc. as much as possible.
Another way to stretch one's retirement income is to work part time outside the home to provide some additional discretionary funds. Although it may seem discouraging to return to the workforce, the flexibility offered by retirement is a great opportunity to work in a field you enjoy, rather than worrying about how big of a paycheck you're bringing home. For example, if you enjoy woodworking, apply for a job at a home improvement store. If you love animals, apply for a job at a pet store. A sure fire way for the brain to atrophy is to do nothing.
Selling One's Life Insurance Policy
This controversial practice allows the policy owner to sell the policy to investors for a percentage of its value to be cashed in at the death of the policyholder. If a policyholder has been paying premiums for a whole life insurance policy since his children were little, and they are now grown with families of their own, it may be time to sell it and use the proceeds to supplement retirement.
Some states have severely restricted this practice, and life insurance companies object strictly from a financial standpoint because it is inevitable that they will have to pay death benefits rather than possibly having the retiree drop the policy to save paying premiums. Just as in any transaction, however, the retiree should be well educated about the facts before proceeding.
While social security is supposed to be a supplement to retirement income, 33% of retirees depend on it completely. With the cost of elder care rapidly rising, some retirees who are accustomed to a middle class standard of living may be in for an unpleasant surprise. But if you were not the most responsible in preparing for retirement, don't despair — you can still enjoy a fulfilling retirement.

New Jersey Traffic Violation Lawyer on Penalties for Driving With a Suspended License
If you are found guilty of violating statute 39:3-40, for a first offense, the minimum mandatory fine is $500.00. That is going to be issued from the court. There will also be a three-year surcharge, which the Motor Vehicle Commission is going to impose, of $250.00, per year, payable each year. Keep in mind; these fines only apply to a FIRST offense.
If you are found guilty, you are looking at $1250.00, and you are also looking at paying court costs. Those may come to about $1260.00. There is also the possibility of the judge imposing a suspension of your driving privileges of up to six months. The Department of Motor Vehicles can still suspend your license administratively, which also can become very problematic as well.
If you've been accused of Driving With a Suspended License in New Jersey, contact experienced New Jersey Traffic Violation Lawyer Carl Spector for a free confidential consultation.

Pentax FA 15-30mm f2.8 HD ED SDM WR Lens
The Pentax FA 15-30mm f2.8 HD ED SDM WR lens is an ultra-wide-angle zoom designed specifically for K-mount DSLRs with full-frame sensors. Thanks to its exaggerated perspective typical of an ultra-wide-angle lens and high-resolution imaging power, it captures dynamic, sweeping views of subjects, especially in landscape photography. Its large f2.8 maximum aperture also comes in handy for ... More
Thinking of upgrading? Trade in today
1x Pentax FA 15-30mm f2.8 HD ED SDM WR Lens Sorry, there are no more available.
Main Features:
- Ultra-wide-angle zoom
- Large, bright F2.8 aperture
- Suitable for landscapes, portrait, nightscapes, interior
- HD coating reduces chromatic aberration
- SDM (Supersonic Direct-drive Motor) fast, quiet AF
- Weather-resistant construction
- Nine blades to produce a smooth, beautiful bokeh
1. Exceptional imaging power
When mounted on the PENTAX K-1 35mm full-frame digital SLR camera body, this zoom lens provides an ultra-wide-angle focal-length coverage from 15mm to 30mm. Its exaggerated perspective helps the photographer produce spectacular images in landscape photography. Since it provides a 30mm focal length at the telephoto end, it can also be used for such casual applications as snapshots.
2. State-of-the-art optical design
This zoom lens incorporates three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass optical elements and three aspherical optical elements in its 18-element, 13-group optics, to deliver high-resolution images rich in contrast even at the edges of the image field, while effectively minimizing chromatic aberration, distortion and coma.
3. Large-aperture zoom lens, with a maximum aperture of F2.8
Since this zoom lens provides a maximum aperture of F2.8 over its entire zoom range, it is versatile enough to be used for many different subjects and scenes, ranging from sweeping landscapes to nightscapes and starry skies. Despite its ultra-wide-angle perspective, it can capture the subject with an excellent bokeh (defocus) effect on the background. Even in macro photography from its minimum focusing distance of 28 centimeters, it can capture subjects with a well-defined sense of depth.
4. Built-in SDM (Supersonic Direct-drive Motor)
The incorporation of a new-generation SDM (Supersonic Direct-drive Motor) assures that this zoom lens provides quiet, high-speed autofocus operation, letting the photographer react swiftly to all types of subjects.
5. Weather-resistant construction
Special seals applied throughout the lens body provide this zoom lens with dependable weather-resistant construction, effectively preventing the intrusion of water into the lens interior. By pairing it with a weather-resistant PENTAX digital SLR camera body, the photographer has a durable, dependable digital imaging system that performs superbly under demanding shooting conditions - even in the rain or mist, or at locations prone to water splashes or spray.
6. HD Coating to improve image description
The lens is treated with high-grade, multi-layer HD Coating.* Compared with conventional multi-layer coatings, this PENTAX-original coating assures higher light transmittance and less reflection to deliver bright, high-contrast images free of flare and ghost images, even under demanding lighting conditions such as backlight. * HD stands for High Definition.
7. Other features
- Quick-Shift Focus System for instant switching from autofocus to manual-focus operation, by holding the shutter-release button halfway down and turning the focus ring after the subject is captured in focus by the camera's AF system.
- Rounded diaphragm with nine blades to produce a smooth, beautiful bokeh (defocus) effect, while minimising the streaking effect of point light sources.
- SP (Super Protect) Coating applied to the front surface of the lens to effectively repel water and grease.

White House, College Humor team up to ask, 'What if bears ate one in five people?'
A new video produced by College Humor, in conjunction with the White House's "It's On Us" campaign, asks the simple question, "What if bears killed one in five people?"
While it seems silly, the question becomes very sobering when the video's actual subject is revealed. All of the statistics included in the video are actually about campus sexual assault — one in five women will be sexually assaulted by the time they finish college.
The characters in the video become increasingly baffled by their host's indifference about the issue of a large and violent bear trying to kill them. As the video comes to a close, a title appears, reading, "You wouldn't put up with that, so don't put up with this," and then offers information about sexual assault.
The video stars New Girl's Jake Johnson and comedian Rob Riggle.

Traveling to Tionesta
From Tionesta, Pennsylvania, travel 0.5 mile south on State Road 36 and follow the signs into the campground. Situated near the Tionesta Creek, this campground lies at the end of one of the branches of the Allegheny River. Due to its location off the beaten path, the campground attracts mostly locals who enjoy camping, kayaking, canoeing, fishing and hiking.
We made our reservations online two months prior through Reserve America as this was the only reservation method.
Arrival and Check-In
The road leading to the campground from State Road 36 was in dire need of maintenance. The dirt road was in disrepair and full of potholes. I'm not sure if it's a private or state road, but let's just say it was in rough shape -we advise driving slow.
After we checked in and drove to our site, we found that there was no way our 42' fifth-wheel would fit into the site we reserved. Their site length calculations listed on the Reserve America reservation site were vastly miscalculated. We had to drive back to see if there were any sites available. Unfortunately, being the beginning of the weekend, we were out of luck on being re-assigned to a site that would be more accommodating to our fifth-wheel.
Though the roadways in the campground were paved, they were extremely narrow and tight. We barely were able to navigate our fifth-wheel through the campground's roadway to leave. We ended up staying right outside the campground entrance in a grassy paid lot. The owner of the lot was very sympathetic to our predicament and allowed us to boondock for $10 per night.
That said, we still made our rounds of the campground to blog this review as if we stayed there.
This campground is secluded, shady and very rustic. It's nestled under the trees near the Allegheny River and dam. A boat ramp and marina are nearby for easy access to water activities, and there are some hiking trails around the campground.
The bathhouses and restrooms are located throughout the campground for easy access. The sites are small, trees not trimmed, and the facilities were dated and not well maintained.
There is a play area; however, I wouldn't say it's a playground. There is a small field with a volleyball net and horseshoe pits. It looked like neither had been used for a while.
The nearby river and lake are popular boat, canoe and kayak spots. The campground also included a nice pull-through dump station with a large turn-out where you can fill RV tanks with drinking water if needed.
There is a limit of one (1) wheeled camper and one tent per campsite, or 2 tents per campsite and parking on the grass is prohibited. Sites are average size, but most are not big-rig friendly (over 35'). While there are a few, they are most often reserved by locals when they open up the reservations for the year. There were also low-hanging branches that tested even the shortest of campers. The sites were provided with a fire pit and picnic table, and firewood was available for sale up at the check-in station.
Sites 69 and 71 are reserved for visitors needing a handicap-accessible campsite and require a Golden Access or America the Beautiful Access Pass.
Nearby Attractions
Within walking distance from the campground, there's Sprinter's Mini Golf course for a friendly game with family and friends. There are also two Kayak and Canoe Rental companies in Tionesta. Downtown Tionesta, we visited the Market Village which is comprised of little shops arranged in the heart of downtown that had food and hand-crafted wares.
Nearby Titusville, we went on an adventure to the 240-acre site of Drake's Well. In 1859 the Drake Well struck oil, launching an industry that has forever shaped our modern world. There was an amazing museum of exhibits, operating oil field machinery, historic buildings and more. Drake Well Museum and Park tells the story of the petroleum industry's birth in Pennsylvania and its growth into the global enterprise it is today.
While on our exploration of Titusville, we learned that John Heisman (1869-1936), college football coach/strategist known as Father Of The Forward Pass, moved here as a child and graduated from Titusville High School, Class of 1887. Heisman's innovations as an early 20th century college coach earned him football immortality. Heisman's family was well-known in the area's oil industry.
Between the towns of Tionesta and Titusville you'll find very minimal remains of Pithole or Pithole City. Pithole is a ghost town in Venango County - about six miles from Oil Creek State Park and the Drake Well Museum.
Cooks Forest State Park and Oil Creek State Park both have great hiking trails.
Final Thoughts
While we originally had high hopes for this campground, we were left with huge disappointment when we found our Landmark wouldn't fit in the site we reserved. Also, this particular campground was not indicative of the many other Corps of Engineers Parks or Campgrounds we've been to around the country. Its facilities and grounds are severely dated and lacking proper maintenance. Considering this campground's location of being out of the way and not very lively, for the price (without our Access Pass) we wouldn't have considered this destination.
We would recommend it to those who have smaller RV units and for those who prefer a more "traditional" camping atmosphere.

Here's a quick piece of advice. Do not under any circumstances challenge Cam Newton to a physical competition. In addition to being a specimen of a human at 6-foot-6, 250 pounds and being in incredible shape, the three-time Pro Bowl QB is the most competitive dude you'll ever meet.
RELATED: Watch Cam Newton Teach Trash-Talking High School Kids a Valuable Lesson With a Perfect Celebration Dance
Newton and a group of his teammates, mostly Carolina Panthers wide receivers, trained together this past summer at the Under Armour Performance Center in Baltimore. The team-bonding experience obviously paid off, as the Panthers have cruised to the best record in the NFL, and Newton will likely take home the NFL MVP Award at the end of the season.
However, as you'll see in the video above, last summer wasn't all about hugs and high fives. Some of the workouts were capped off with head-to-head fitness competitions, which transformed Newton from his usual smiling self into Warrior Mode. In the video, Newton crushes his teammates in a 2,200-meter rowing contest, then lets out a primal roar to celebrate. (He must have been too exhausted to perform one of his patented victory dances.)
Competitions like this are a great way to motivate athletes to push past their limits, so feel free to include them in your workouts.
Just remember, don't challenge Cam. He beats everyone. All the time.

Have you ever been in an awkward situation due to your tone of voice? When I speak in English, I always have this slightly deeper tone due to a force of habit, but when I am speaking Chinese, I am using my natural tone, which as my friend describes; an angelic voice. I remember one day during High School, my natural voice came out when I called for the waitress, and all my friends were looking at me as though they were shocked.
They kept praising my voice and told me to use that tone to speak to them more often, but I involuntarily switched back to my default English tone right after that and the whole situation turned very awkward until we returned to class. I mean, I can't help it alright, it's totally out of my control xD
