Fashion Editorial: Blanca Padilla for Harper's Bazaar Spain July 2015
Wednesday 24th June, 2015
PASSION is something the Spanish are known for around the globe, whether it be the passion of the toreros or bull fighters, or that of evocative flamenco dancers who seem so engrossed in the guitar music they get lost amidst a sea of fervour, ruffled dresses and flame red hues — an unbelievable spectacle. When this sentiment is translated into a fashion editorial the results are magnificent, for Blanca Padilla appears alongside Jose Maria Manzanares – the new it-torero – in horse stables, Andalucian patios, and vast green fields. The clothing is unquestionably Spanish, yet with modern twists, for there were satin corset-like dresses, red woven straw sun hats, embellished jackets, and a willowy ankle-grazing fringe dress that is perfectly at home in a green meadow swept by a soft breeze. —Victoria
Victoria Berezhna Fashion Contributor, London
Victoria lives in the south of Spain, having moved there from her native country Ukraine when she was just a child. She finds herself looking up to timeless icons from past decades including Jackie O, Grace Kelly, Katherine Deneuve and Audrey Hepburn, and longing for sunny afternoons on the French Riviera and walks along the Seine during spring. Always overdressed and dishing out on tailored pieces and shoes – secretly dreaming they were from Dior or Saint Laurent – she dresses for herself rather than others, and would trade breakfast for Vogue or a one way ticket to anywhere beautiful.

St. Louis (MO.) (PRWEB) March 25, 2013
Amerinet Inc., a leading national healthcare solutions organization has helped member St. Barnabas Hospital (SBH) in the Bronx, New York, save 58 percent on their digital mammography solution. This solution has improved patient care for the women in the Bronx community through increased access to quality breast cancer imaging which included screening and diagnostic mammograms and breast treatment services.
In order to make a true impact on the lives of the women in the area, SBH wanted to offer state-of-the-art services not only within the walls of the hospital, but out in the community as well. As a result, a new digital mammography suite was built and a digital mobile mammography unit launched (replacing a mobile unit that had used an analog system). Utilizing its supplier agreement with Amerinet, SBH purchased a Full Field Digital Mammography (FFDM) system for both the hospital suite and a mobile van.
"Our new digital mammography suite and digital mobile mammography unit gives us the ability to detect perceived areas of concern that will provide more effective cancer detection," said Rocco Dacchille, Director of Radiology, at SBH. "We all know that early education and detection helps to save lives – and that's what we are doing."
The women of the Bronx are now receiving the highest quality breast education, clinical breast examinations, mammography and follow-up diagnostic services via SBH's digital solution. This includes reducing patient appointment times from 20 days to next day service if requested. Also, it decreases the time to complete a mammography exam from 35 minutes on the analog system to 15 minutes on the digital system. This means that in the mobile van, as many as 20 patients can be screened daily, as opposed to a maximum of 12 with the old mobile unit.
Service is available to both insured and uninsured women. The mobile van is used to perform mammograms, instruct women on breast self-exam techniques, and for referrals to follow-up healthcare. It also serves as a tool to distribute health-related literature, to raise awareness about breast cancer, and to make visitors aware of the healthcare services available at the hospital.

try this its one of my own recipies but tastes amazing
Chocolate Chili Bean Enchiladas
serves 2 -3
what you will need:
quorn mince
red kidney beans
ground cumin
chilli powder
fresh chillies
tin of chopped tomatoes
chopped fresh peppers
some chocolate powder (hot chocolate works)
tortilla wraps
cheese of your choice
half a lemon
sour cream
some salad
start heating the oven to 200
- dice the onion and 3 garlic cloves
- get a large pan put some oil in the bottom and heat up, then fry the onion and garlic for a minute
- chop up peppers and chillies
- add the mince if frozen break it up
- add chopped up peppers and chopped up chillies
- add kidney beans and chopped tomatoes and stir through
- add half a cup of boiling water
- place a healthy dose of cumin and chillie powder into the mix (be generous)
- stir everything together
- add chocolate power (roughly three tea spoons worth)
- squeeze the lemon into the mix but not all of it
leave this to cook on the hob for about 15 mins
meanwhile cook some rice
once the rice and the mince is done the oven should be fully heated up, get yourself a baking tray (glass ones are best) with high sides.
Spoon some rice into a tortilla wrap and then ontop of the rice add some of the mince mix,
roll up the wrap and place it on baking tray.
repeat until you have run out of mince
push all the rolled up wraps together in a row on the baking tray
cover with a thin layer of cheese and place some fresh chillies ontop, you can also add olives if you wish.
squeeze the remaining bit of lemon over the top
place in oven for 5 mins or until cheese starts to go brown.
- remove from oven and serve immediately by cutting out the rolls(enchiladas) and serving seperatly
serve with sour cream and salad
Enjoy, is a fun thing to experiment with and usually costs around a tenner
- dice the onion and 3 garlic cloves

There are millions of vegan recipes on-line now and the difficulty is just finding the good ones. I still cook from paper cookbooks and can recommend the first two books by Das Sreedharan of RASA restaurants. Annoyingly, the first one wastes space with meat recipes, but it is still brilliant. I think South Indian and especially Keralan cooking is the best cooking in the world and perfect for vegetarians. The recipes in these books are somewhat adapted to Western tastes but authentic enough:
(1) Fresh flavours of India, Conran Octopus 1999
(2) The New Tastes of India, Headline 2001

fancy a rice pudding?
this is a favorite,very delicious
Coconut Rice Pudding
● 1/4 cup Arborio rice
● 2 cups water
● 2 1/4 cups unsweetened coconut milk ( or plain rice milk if you don't like coconut milk)
● 1 cup whole milk ( or rice milk/evaporated milk if preferred)
● 1/4 cup sugar
● 1 tbsp vanilla extract
● 3 ounces raisins (or your choice of dried fruit. Apricots or cranberries would be really good here.)
Put the rice and water in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the temperature and cook the rice, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Drain the rice in a strainer and rinse it; set aside.
Rinse out the saucepan, then pour in the whole milk and coconut milk, stir in the sugar, and set the pan over medium heat. When the milk mixture boils, stir in the parboiled rice and raisins. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture bubble away gently, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes. As the pudding gets close to done, the rice kernels will be visible in the boiling milk- you'll see them floating under the top layer of milk. The pudding won't be thick- that's okay (it will thicken in the refrigerator)- but the rice will be soft and it will have absorbed 80 to 90 percent of the milk.
Remove the pan from the heat and decide what flavor you'd like the pudding to be- add either the vanilla or chocolate and stir gently until it is fully blended in to the pudding.
Pour the pudding into a serving bowl or into individual cups or bowls. Press plastic wrap against the surface of the pudding to prevent it from forming a skin, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, until thoroughly cold.

Vegetarian Nut & Vegetable Abattoir.
Kill ten nuts. (Choose those nuts who have show the least readiness to conform to accepted morality).
Crush these nuts.
Pick out their descendants and parade them around in front of the other legumes, while all the time pointing out that descent will not be tolerated in the kitchen.
Single out 5 vegetables from the same race.
Torture and kill one of them by lowering into boiling water.
When this first vegetable is dead, undress the rest and similarly kill them with hot water.
Bury everything in a mixed and shallow grave and set fire to the whole mess.
Using tools, hurry the smouldering carnage into the opening at the front of your head.

I judge it entirely by how hungry it makes me, and I like it. :)
BTW, I generally find professional food photography extremely boring. I don't know why.
Edit: Actually I've just remembered that I think there are two people taking pictures. I like the pictures by one of them, but not the other.

Not adding a recipe right now, but heres some reasons not to eat so much Soya which might be relevant here.
the good news is that although some vegetarians seem to live off soya, it's pretty easy to avoid, if you're not the type to eat shitloads of crap bread, fake 'meat' and tofu.
funny thing is, most meat eaters probably ate more soya than i did when i was vegan. and their meat probably ate a lot of soya, when it was alive.

some faves and good links
Lentil soup is amazing. make it in bulk. freeze what you dont eat. take left overs to work and what not and it is super cheap. curries are in the same economical boat.
also if you feel youre lacking in anything invest two quid in nutritional yeast. carried at any health store, helps thicken up sauces soups etc and is chocablock with awesome vitamins and what not.

Photography is a great and creative hobby that has increased in popularity recently. Photography is something that perks the interest of a lot of people, however some might be scared off by the vast amount of skill and knowledge that it takes. Read this article to get some easy tips to get you started.
Pay attention to the speed of your shutter and test out various scenes by alternating it. You can get some awesome photos at the drop of a hat and this will allow you to blur some time periods together. The quicker the subject of your photo is moving, the faster your shutter speed needs to be and vice versa.
Take your pictures quickly. If you hesitate, you may miss the moment you are trying to capture because of your subject moving. The quicker you and your camera are, the better shots you will get.
When working on snapping an excellent photo, it's best to keep your settings as simple as possible. You don't need to mess with a bunch of different color and motion settings to produce a beautiful photograph.
If taking pictures with people in them, blur the background slightly. A heavy focus on the background may draw your viewer's attention away from your subject. You can accomplish this by having your background further away from your subject.
Ensure you have an extra charged battery so you do not miss the greatest photos. Digital cameras usually use quite a bit of battery power, usually when using LCD screens, so always make sure your battery is fully charged before using the camera. It is also a good idea to carry around spare batteries. This way you will never miss out on a great shot.
Skies that are overcast should be avoided in photographs. Showing too much gray sky in photos will make pictures appear muted. Pictures in black and white are better if shot under overcast skies. On a beautiful day, you can include as much blue sky as you desire.
Practice taking pictures of people. Do not take photographs of people without their consent. After you get home from your trip, these images will provoke thoughts and memories, even if they are nothing more than ordinary. Aim for shots of casual candidness.
Memory Card
Take a lot of photos when you are trying to improve your skills, but buy a memory card with a large storage space. With a large memory card, you do not have to worry about not having enough room on your card to hold additional pictures. Another benefit of large memory cards is that they allow you to take shots in RAW format, and that enables a good deal of flexibility.
Take down notes whenever you are taking pictures. As your collection grows, it will become more and more difficult to remember the details, such as where and when you took a particular shot. Take a small notepad wherever you go and jot down the description and picture number.
The introduction detailed how photography is something many people enjoy doing. However, the depth and breadth of the information out there on photography dissuades many from trying to expand their skills beyond taking the occasional snapshot.

Following on from the first two games, could this set a new benchmark for how to realise a world on a console? First with Gears of War 3, and Forza 4 raising the graphical benchmark on 360, and now this doing the same for the Playstation 3 – it is quite breathtaking what can still be wrung from these aging consoles.

Tot-Friendly Fish
by Patty Onderko
A healthy, easy way to cook fish your kids will love
You know the omega-3 fatty acids in salmon are super healthy, but will your kids eat it? And how do you make it? Answers: Yes, and it's easy! Just follow this finger-licking recipe from our new cookbook, Parenting's Love in Spoonfuls ($19.95, Chronicle Books), a guide to feeding your baby and toddler meals that are healthy, yummy, and — best of all — simple for you to prepare.
Salmon Patties
1 can (7 1/2 oz) boneless, skinless pink or red salmon
2 Tbsp finely diced shallot or onion
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp panko (Japanese bread crumbs) or regular bread crumbs
2 Tbsp canola oil
Unsweetened applesauce or plain yogurt for dipping
1. In a large mixing bowl, flake the salmon, breaking it up with a fork and double-checking it for any bones. If you see any, just remove them.
2. Add the shallot, egg, and 1/4 cup bread crumbs, and mix well. (Note: Panko, or Japanese bread crumbs, can be found in well-stocked supermarkets, Asian groceries, or online. They'll give your patties such a light crunchiness, it's worth seeking them out.) Using your hands, roll the mixture into 6 little balls and flatten slightly to make the patties. Dust lightly with additional bread crumbs.
3. In a frying pan over medium heat, warm the oil. When it's hot, add the salmon patties and cook until golden on the underside, about 2 minutes. Turn the patties and cook until the second side is golden, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to paper towels to drain briefly, cut into halves or quarters, check the temperature, then serve with applesauce or yogurt for dipping.
4. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 2 days (or freeze for up to 3 months). To reheat, microwave 20 to 30 seconds; check temperature before serving.

County Commissioners agree to close road in Precinct 9
HARTINGTON — Cedar County should be in line for some FEMA funds after early summer flooding here.
Cedar County Emergency Management Director Kevin Garvin told Cedar County Commissioners Tuesday that FEMA approved the disaster for 10 Nebraska counties in the state, including Cedar County.
He said the disaster declaration is because of the damage caused by the heavy rains in parts of the county.
Commissioners then talked about the damaged roads in the eastern Cedar County.
The engineer has not yet made a decision on closing the heavily damaged road to traffic. No cost estimate for the road's repair has been developed as of yet, either, he said.
Board members said they believe the engineering firm will have the plans completed soon.
Commissioners also decided at their Aug. 28 meeting to close a minimum maintenance road.
Commissioners opened a special Hearing on the closing of the Precinct 9 road, however, no comments were received on the issue from those attending the meeting.
A letter of support on the road closing from an adjacent landowner was reviewed by the Board, though.
Motion was then made by Commissioner Dave McGregor, seconded by Commissioner Craig Bartels to approve and sign the resolution on closing the road as it was advertised.
Cedar County Road Superintendent Carla Schmidt distributed copies of an application for grant request to be sent to the Game and Parks.
If funds are received, they will be used for improvements to the Brooky Bottom Park area. This includes improvements to the boat dock, restrooms, parking lot and road.
Schmidt also presented an easement for a power transmission line along the Knox and Cedar County line for Cedar Knox Public Power.
Motion was made by Pinkelman and seconded by McGregor to approve the easement with Cedar Knox Public Power and Frankfort Knox Township in Knox County.
Schmidt also reported on the annual equipment and real estate inventory, which was recently completed.
Commissioners discussed the joint bid letting between Stanton and Cedar County for county bridge repairs. The bridge repair in Cedar County is located in District 3. Bid letting will be held at the Cedar County Courthouse Sept. 17, with the bid awarded Sept. 25.
Sandy Stockholm, representing the Missouri River Action Coalition, briefed the Board on the grant and an updated letter of support.
Commissioners agreed to contribute a $5,000 one-time donation to MRAC along with a letter of support to go with the grant application.
Damon Steelman presented the Board a performance bond, asking them to sign and approve the bond for the Wayne County wind energy project.
Construction crews will need to travel on 1,900 feet of Cedar County road to deliver the turbines.
After discussion, the Board agreed to sign the bond.
Zoning administrator Dave Sudbeck updated Commissioners on new building permit applications.
Applications brought before the Board for approval included:
* A 56,000-bushel grain bin for Larry Maxam,
* A, 50 X 80-foot storage shed for John Sprakel,
* A 30 X 32-foot addition on the Ryan Higgins home,
* A 30 X 36-foot cattle shed for Bob Bruning,
* A 12 X 9-foot porch-utility room addition for Mike and Dianne Nelson
Sudbeck told Commissioners he has talked to the individual who had removed a building that was in the Right of Way. The landowner has agreed that when the building is completed it will be offset from the Right of Way using the remainder of the old building floor.
With no further business or agenda items, the meeting was adjourned. The next Cedar County Commission meeting will be Sept. 11, at 8:30 a.m. in the Commissioner's room at the Courthouse.

The city of Durham has been trying to crack down on crime by declaring houses public nuisances. It all got started with a community-based grass roots effort.
That effort has prompted many people to say the best way to clean up a neighborhood is to get the neighbors involved.
Durham Police and the District Attorney say the house at 118 Driver Street is a public nuisance. They got the ammunition to use the public nuisance law from neighborhood activists like George Crews.
"There were drug sales going on here," says Crews. "Whether it was in the house or on this corner, I'm not sure. But it was drug sales, prostitution, some violence that was happening here. It was not new for this area, but that's what Partners Against Crime is all about -- attacking the issues that are in here in this community."
Crews and a band of volunteers, called the Northeast Central Durham Partners Against Crime, watched, took notes and took pictures of homes they saw as crime magnets.
"We're not looking to leave," says Crews. "We want to raise our children here in this community, and we want to do it in a safe environment. So, one of the things, rather than leaving this community, we decided to come together and attack this issue."
The result? Four homes were declared public nuisances.
One of the owners of the Driver Street house says the neighborhood activists have missed the mark.
"I'm not a nuisance," says Sandra Brooks. "This is going on out on the street, not in the house."
District Attorney Jim Hardin says the houseisa problem and the community-based effort is the best way to resolve it.
"It's about getting the community involved in helping law enforcement solve crime problems," says Hardin. "And without their help, we're ineffectual at best."
The owners of the houses targeted as a public nuisance have 90 days to to clean up the trouble. If they don't, the city can seize the home. Demolition is also a possibility.
Crews and his group says they have their eyes on other properties in the area as well.

Originally intended for writing, this stand-up desk works well with laptops, handhelds, and other contemporary tools in use today. The walnut hardwood is hand rubbed with a natural oil finish to help preserve and soften the wood. The color darkens over time and the patina softens to make this desk a handsome addition to any den, library, or any workspace in your home.

This is a sponsored post.
Snyder's of Hanover recently asked me to spread some good news with the food allergy community. As soon as I heard it, I couldn't wait to sit down and get this out to you all.
Snyder's of Hanover, long known for their line of delicious pretzels, have made some changes – for the better. With their consumers' interest in mind, they recently transitioned their main factory in Pennsylvania to a peanut-free facility. This inclusion of food allergy families is so meaningful!
Already beginning to hit supermarket shelves, kids with and without a peanut allergy can enjoy Snyder's line of pretzels. A popular item at snack bars, vending machines and sporting events, kids with peanuts allergies can now munch down some Snyder's pretzels along with their friends and teammates. Our safe snack universe has just been greatly expanded!
[*Food allergy note: Snyder's continues to make nut-based pretzels, such as Snyder's of Hanover Peanut Butter Filled Pieces which are manufactured in a separate facility in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. The brand also has a snack line which includes chips that are made in this facility. All products coming from the peanut-free factory in Hanover will have the peanut-free logo under the ingredient label. By the end of 2016, the manufacturing of all Snyder's pretzels should be transitioned to the peanut-free facility.*]
We bought Snyder's of Hanover Snaps Pretzels for the first time as a tennis team snack. I got a thrill seeing the "Peanut-Free" symbol following the ingredient list. Plus, I felt great knowing that other children with peanut allergies, accustomed to being forced to forego group treats, could snack away safely.
***I'd like the decision-making team at Snyder's of Hanover to understand how much this means to peanut allergic kids and how grateful food allergy parents feel when their children are considered. I hope that more companies appreciate the powerful statement Snyder's has made by including peanut allergic kids into their family of products and will think about doing the same. ***
Excited to try Snyder's of Hanover's now-safe pretzel line, we thought we'd share our first impressions:
Snaps Pretzels:
These are the perfect snacks for a group! Our giant bowl of pretzels was empty in minutes thanks to their fun design and great taste which allows for just the right amount of salt goodness.
Sourdough Nibblers:
I'm fairly certain I'm already addicted to these pretzels. They are delicious, crisp and crunchy. And their bite-size shape are perfect when you're looking for a nibble. It's impossible to eat just one without daydreaming about more. You've been warned…
The classic. Slender, baked to perfection, and flavorful, these crispy pretzels are great for dipping. Try them dipped in cream cheese for a satisfying salty/sweet snack (a favorite combo of mine since middle school). These pretzels also make hilarious eye glasses that are sure to crack your kids up.
These 100-calorie packs are perfect for people on-the-go. I would stash these in my desk drawer and plan to pack them in my boys' lunches come fall. In the meantime, I'm popping a few into my beach and pool bags! A satisfying snack on its own – you could also pair this will snack-size hummus for a healthy mid-day pick-me-up.
Thank you to Snyder's of Hanover and kudos on the factory transition — and a big "woohoo" for the rest of us!

Apple has become the latest tech company to release a diversity report—as well as the latest tech company to publicly wring its hands over the lack of diversity among its employees in the United States.
"As CEO, I'm not satisfied with the numbers on this page," Apple CEO Tim Cook wrote in a statement accompanying the report. "They're not new to us, and we've been working hard for quite some time to improve them. We are making progress, and we're committed to being as innovative in advancing diversity as we are in developing our products."

By Apple's own accounting, 55 percent of its U.S. staff (including retail) is Caucasian; roughly 15 percent is Asian; 11 percent Hispanic; 7 percent black; 2 percent "two or more"; 1 percent "other"; and 9 percent undeclared.
Breaking things down a little further, Apple's leadership team is 64 percent Caucasian, 21 percent Asian, 6 percent Hispanic, 3 percent black, and 6 percent undeclared. Its tech employees are 54 percent Caucasian, 23 percent Asian, 7 percent Hispanic, 6 percent black, 2 percent two or more, and 8 percent undeclared.
As a company, Apple is 70 percent male and 30 percent female; in tech positions, the ratio becomes even more lopsided, at 80 percent male to 20 percent female.
In his note, Cook also claimed that Apple has invested in diversity beyond that measured by the report. "Our definition of diversity goes far beyond the traditional categories of race, gender, and ethnicity," he wrote. "It includes personal qualities that usually go unmeasured, like sexual orientation, veteran status, and disabilities."
(And yes, in true Apple style, the report comes with an uplifting video.)
Compare Apple's numbers to those of its archrival Google, where 61 percent of employees are Caucasian, 30 percent Asian, 4 percent two or more, 3 percent Hispanic, 2 percent black, and less than 1 percent "other." Like Apple, Google is also 70 percent male and 30 percent female. The numbers are similar at other major tech firms, including Facebook and Yahoo. Many of those companies have pledged to do more for diversity, but it remains to be seen whether they'll transform words into substantive action.

Make Your Website Pop: Awesome Features for Your Internet Business
A great website is a must-have for any business today. Even if your business is not involved in e-commerce, a website provides necessary information to customers and offers a glimpse into your company's practices, standards and culture.
With the importance placed on web presence, having a bland, run-of-the-mill site is a big no no. Customers should remember your website after they leave and be happy to return to it in the future.
While it never hurts to leave Website Development and Management to professionals, you should be involved in the process every step of the way to ensure that the final result will reflect your business in a positive way. Keep these things in mind whenever you develop your website.
Provide Great Content
As the old internet adage goes, "Content is king." No matter how nice and sleek your website looks, if you provide boring, derivative content, no one will appreciate it. Content drives the internet and if you have great content on your site, people will find you.
The place to start is your homepage. Use this space to tell the story of your company: what your business philosophies are, what services you provide and even interesting anecdotes from your life that are relevant to your company. Customers like to know more than just what you do; they like to know the story behind the business.
Throughout the rest of your website, make sure to upload original content that centers around your business and your services. Focus on strong, creative headlines for each article or section on your site and create engaging and thought-provoking content any time you can. This will get people talking and help boost your relevance on search engines, which translates into more customers.
Eye-Catching Typography
Sure, you probably have more important things to do than worry about the fonts on your website, but if you fail to take some time with this decision, your site may look amateurish or, worse yet, out-of-date.
Comic Sans gets a lot of flack, and rightly so. Imagine if you visited a professional website and it looked like a comic book. This is an extreme example that would only work in specific situations, but it offers an important lesson: the wrong font will certainly give the wrong impression. Instead, look for tried-and-true fonts like Futura or Helvetica.
Whichever font you chose, make sure that it translates well to mobile users. With the prevalence of mobile technology, more and more people are using their phones and tablets to research and find companies, so make their search worth it when they land on your page with eye-pleasing fonts.
Video/Graphic Integration
Your website should not be a static experience, but rather, one that allows your customers to immerse themselves in content and spend their time. Adding videos or GIFs is not only eye catching, but can draw your visitors in and make them want to stay longer.
Videos and GIFs do more than add visual appeal to your site, though. These are the quick, accessible content that can go viral. If you curate your video content with care and tie each one to your business, and on the chance it does go viral, then your message will go out to more eyes and you will get what amounts to free advertising.
A Call to Action
The one thing every website needs is a Call to Action (CTA), something that makes the visitor want to interact with your site and your business. A CTA can be as simple as "Click Here Now to Receive Our Free e-Book," or "Contact Us to Discuss Your Project." Simple, declarative statements that offer something to the visitor are a great way to encourage interaction.
Why is this important? Because when you offer something to your visitors, they will inevitably check it out. Visitors want to be directed by your website so they know what to do and where to go. This is also a great way to gain information on your customers, as you will usually pair a registration form with a CTA. This will lead to more sales as you can now use that information to stay in touch with you customers.
Common keywords that denote a CTA are: download, subscribe, add to cart, share, buy now, and free trial. How many does your website have?
You not only want your site to be successful, you want it to reflect your business in a positive way. So make sure to remember these key elements in any good website.

29 years ago today, the bright eyed and bushy tailed person you see in the picture, who had graduated from her bachelor degree just one week prior, set foot in the lobby of 120 Park Avenue, NY, NY.
Little did I know that I was setting off on the adventure of a lifetime. An adventure that took me to travels to 80+ countries and homes on three. An adventure where I made enduring friendships, formed over countless learning experiences from late nights in the office getting ready for the "nth" long range plan presentation; writing the business weekly highlights; through commiserating; and, finding the learning in the things that didn't go as planned and the exhilaration where they did.
As I think back over the last almost three decades, the words of the immortal Frank Sinatra come to mind "regrets I've had a few, but then again, too few too mention". You see, I have arrived at the conclusion that every experience, good, bad, ugly, was all in preparation for the work I am blessed to do today – guiding a group of talented, dedicated Skagit Valley College BAS-AM participants on their own adventures and learning experiences. I realize how fortunate I am that even on days where the higher ed bureaucracy seems endless and the mountains of grading appear insurmountable (I'm two weeks behind, with two weeks in the quarter to go!), I'm living my iki-gai, the life stage that Japanese culture describes as the intersection between passion, mission, profession and vocation.
And, I realize that this wouldn't be possible without the friendship, mentorship and faith from an immeasurable number of people but most especially my parents, my sister, and the BAS-AM Class of 2018-20, who laid a bet that the bumpiness of being inaugural class would pay off. Thank you for your trust in me. I won't let you down.

Fox works fine with the standard PmWiki
(:input type name .... :) form controls. Standard input as well as array input can be processed. The name of the input control can be used as a replacement variable with syntax
{$$name} in the template and in other form fields as value. When using controls for multiple selection or multiple inputs, for instance with
(:input select ... :), use
name[] in the form and
{$$name[]} in the template to create an input array.
There are other special considerations to be made:
- As an enhancement to security the submit button needs to be named post.
- If you want to prevent the posting of empty multi-line textarea fields, name the control text.
- Do not use template as name for an input control.
- target and newedit are reserved names for target pagenames. An input text box can be used to set a pagename value. If this control is named target, Fox will post to the pagename entered, if the control name is newedit, Fox will open the target page in edit mode.
- foxgroup is a reserved name for a target group. A GroupName for the target page can be specified using an input control of name foxgroup, for instance a
(:input text foxgroup:)or
(:input select foxgroup GROUP1:)etc.
- Error and success messages can be displayed by putting markup
(:foxmessage:)into the page, best just above the Fox form (recommended, as often page posting permissions are not set properly). See also use with Input Validation. But for messages to be displayed the form may not redirect on submission; so if you want the form to redirect to another page after posting, but need to do debugging, disable the redirect parameter temporarily, in order to see messages.
- To retain input values after posting use parameter
keepinput=1. Use
keepinput=name1,name2,name3etc. to keep the input values for fields name1, name2, name3 etc.
- One can also use form markup like
(:input default source=GROUP.PAGENAME:)to populate fields with PTV values from a different page (or indeed the current page with
source={$FullName}). The names of such fields should be prefixed with $:, for instance like
(:input text name=$:someptv:). In the form one can then also use replacement variables with syntax like
{$$:someptv}, for instance inside markup expressions, which get evaluated when the form is processed.

Buying a bed with Wallbeds"n" More took only about 15 minutes! Making an appointment was easy and their follow-up communication was helpful. Their showroom is in the city and there was street parking in front. Julie met me at the door and showed me my options. I was able to lift the models up and down (they're not all the same!) and she answered all my questions. I found a beautiful model and mattress, in my price range, and I can't wait for the delivery and installation appointment! 🙂
I had a wonderful overall experience at Wallbeds n More in SF. I was assisted by a gentleman named Jason Caporaso. He was very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable and showed me the ropes on my newly purchased cabinet bed which we are very excited about. Kudos to Jason, I will most likely be back for more!
Fantastic quality and service. I had a very short timeline before my move and Shelly was able to expedite service for the exact model and finish I wanted. She was also able to provide me a great deal on a new mattress. Overall the coordination and service was top notch. The bed itself is beautiful and the real wood is a must as opposed to online alternative retailers. Overall highly recommend for amazing product and service from showroom to your house/apt. "

House rules: Housing and dining services staffers receive recognition at annual conference for hard work

Baltimore — The 18 U.S. bishops who conducted a 12-day prayer pilgrimage for peace in the Holy Land in September came away with new perspectives on the ongoing tensions in the Middle East, according to Bishop Oscar Cantu of Las Cruces, N.M.
He was one of the bishops who visited many of the sacred sites of Judaism, Christianity and Islam during the trip.
"The message that they receive from the media in the United States seems to lean heavily on the side of pro-Israel," Cantu said during a news conference Tuesday after making remarks earlier that day as part of the U.S. bishops' annual fall general assembly in Baltimore.
However, "on the ground, the injuries were primarily [committed] on the side of the Israelis," Cantu said. "That certainly was the truth that we witnessed. ... There were injustices on both sides. But they were not parallel."
Cantu, in his remarks to his fellow bishops, told them, "We went to pray for peace and to pray for a two-state solution and an open and shared Jerusalem." However, "arriving in the wake of the recent Gaza war," he said, "we encountered pain, intransigence and cynicism."
He added, "Even young people were discouraged. The rubble that once was their homes weighed heavily on them."
One sign of encouragement reported by Cantu was the delegation's visit to Bethlehem University, which he billed as "the only Catholic university in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories. The student body is 70 percent Muslim and 30 percent Christian. They study together to create the future of Palestine."
Jerusalem, a city deemed holy by adherents to three major faiths, is "sadly ... a sign of contradiction. We were told more than once the city could erupt into violence, as it has on far too many occasions," Cantu said.
Further, "the towering wall that divides Israelis and Palestinians is another side of contradiction," he added. "For Israelis, it's a sign of security. For Palestinians, it's a sign of occupation and exclusion."
Cantu said, "The Christian community is emigrating at alarming rates," and he added, "The conflict undermines the viability of Christian families to raise their children."
Cantu also pointed to Palestinians getting caught up in "intimidation of military checkpoints, privation and deepening poverty."
He pointed out that a bus of bishops going to Mass in the West Bank was turned away at one Israeli military checkpoint and had to drive an extra 45 minutes to get to the Mass.
The bishops jointly celebrated a Mass with Latin Patriarch Fouad Twal of Jerusalem. "We also prayed alongside Jews, Muslims or other Christians," Cantu said. Strolling the grounds of the Dome of the Rock and drinking from Jacob's well with an Orthodox priest were among the delegation's interfaith and ecumenical encounters.
"We met with people of good will, Palestinian and Israeli alike," Cantu reported. The group met with former Israeli President Shimon Peres and Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah.
"We know peace is possible," Cantu said, "because God is our hope." But "after another Gaza war, hope is now in short supply. What is needed now is the transformation of human hearts, so that one side's hearts is less deaf to the concerns of the other."

And calorie consumption and stuff like that. All via some cutting edge athletic technology. Or at least cutting edge for baseball. From Travis Sawchik of the Pittsburgh Tribune:
Prior to and during games this exhibition season, some Pirates are wearing Zephyr workload monitoring devices. Under select players' jerseys is a tight-fitting, compression shirt, which has a black, circular, detachable electronic device — about the size of a quarter — attached near the center of the chest. The device collects data from a sensor that records players' heartbeats and energy consumption. The device's most noticeable features are blinking green and red lights.
Russell Martin talks about how he has used it to monitor how many calories he burns during games. It also measures heart rate. Neal Huntington speculates that there are other things it could tell the Pirates if they decide to go wider-scale with their use. For now it's just an experiment.
I wonder if it could potentially measure telltale signs of fatigue. That could be pretty useful for pitchers, couldn't it?

Review: The Sky Is Every Where
Seventeen-year-old Lennie Walker, bookworm and band geek, plays second clarinet and spends her time tucked safely and happily in the shadow of her fiery older sister, Bailey. But when Bailey
dies abruptly, Lennie is catapulted to center stage of her own life—and, despite her nonexistent history with boys, suddenly finds herself struggling to balance two. Toby was Bailey's boyfriend; his grief mirrors Lennie's own. Joe is the new boy in
town, a transplant from Paris whose nearly magical grin is matched only by his musical talent. For Lennie, they're the sun and the moon; one boy takes her out of her sorrow, the other comforts her in it. But just like their celestial counterparts, they can't collide without the whole wide world exploding.
This remarkable debut is perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen, Deb Caletti, and Francesca Lia Block. Just as much a celebration of love as it is a portrait of loss, Lennie's struggle to sort her own melody out of the noise around her is always honest, often hilarious, and ultimately unforgettable.
In my opinion, this book has touched soo many people in a way, it made me just sad to think about. I haven't lost someone important in my life yet, but the time is coming soon, I feel. If you need help coping after someone you love has died, I recommend this book with all my heart. It's truly amazing and a heart-breaker.
The characters were the best! In my head, the characters were real. Nothing non-fiction about them. They were people who lost someone very important in their lives, a sister, a fiancee, a granddaughter. They all were brilliant. Lennie was the perfect narrator!
I admit I was a little confused at first, but I finished the book in what, 4 hours? It's one of those books you just have to love! Besides, it seems I wasn't the only one who had trouble getting into it, then realizing how special it really was.
I admit that the story was emotional and guys might not like it, but I think you should give it a shot anyway. Who doesn't deserve one?

I've wanted to be an architect for almost as long as I can remember. I recall telling a relative of mine during Christmas that I wanted to be a police officer, and she said "like hell you do, cops get shot all the time!", so I checked that off my list and went right down to architect. Architects don't get shot all the time, that much is true. These 4 things that people think about architects are not.
Architects make a lot of money
Don't get me wrong, I'm not going hungry. But check out this Georgetown study outlining the earnings of those with a Bachelor's degree in engineering-related fields. Go ahead, keep scrolling. Down. Well under the median of $75k, you'll find architecture at $63k. I suspect if you broke it down to a per hour basis, architecture would be at the very bottom of this group. This is plenty to live comfortably on, but if I was looking to make bank, I'd have been a petroleum engineer or a dog whisperer.
If you're in the mood, the rest of that study is pretty informative. Anyone want to guess whether "70% of architects are men" is high or low?
Architects are good at math
Here's something I get all the time when I tell people I'm an architect: "I wanted to be an architect, but I wasn't very good at math". I never know whether to tell these people that they could have been a great architect without knowing much math at all. Most of the calculations we would have to do are already done in span tables, and the rest are done by our consultants. If you can visualize spaces and solve problems well, you'll never need to know what a derivative is.
Architects mostly design houses
Actually, almost all new single-family residences (otherwise known as houses) are engineered once and built hundreds of times by development companies. These 'spec' homes need to be standardized to keep costs down, meaning that the role of the architect is minimized or eliminated. When architects get involved in residential projects, it's usually for multi-family residences like apartments or condos. Architects do very few houses because of the cost to build a completely new home that has been designed to fit your lifestyle perfectly is much higher (in terms of money and time) than just getting something off the market.
Architects live forever through their buildings
Buildings have a lifespan just like you and I. There are some great and timeless buildings to be sure, but they're all subject to the brutal forces of supply and demand. Buildings are bought, flipped, sold, remodeled and sold again. Then, when the land value is more than the value of the building, someone tears the building down and builds something more marketable. When I want to create something that will outlive me, I'll make a piece of furniture or a painting, because I've never heard this conversation before:
Housewarmer: Hey, this is a really nice painting you guys found.
Homeowner: You think so? We thought so too, but we both think this corner down here should be red, and I figure while we're making this part red, neither of us are really happy with that particular shade of green over there. And honestly, this isn't the 60's, nobody paints deer anymore. So, we'll replace that with a rabbit, or maybe even a bear, we haven't really talked about it. And of course when we have kids we'll want to add on to it, so … you're right, I'd say it's a really great starter painting, for sure, but there's a lot of work to do …

They may lead v privileged lives, but there's no denying the Kardashian/Jenners also get a fairly hard time of it. Because, thanks to the internet, the world believes they deserve a say on every little life decision the family makes, and guess what? They don't usually use kind words.
So it's not all that surprising that Khloé Kardashian is fed up of the haters bringing her down, and took to Twitter to have a right old rant about it.
We're not sure what triggered her explosion of anger, but we could hazard a guess that it was something to do with the accusations that she didn't home-bake her Thanksgiving pies. Whatever it was, she was pretty riled up if this tweet is anything to go by:
Winding the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star even more, one of her followers responded fairly unnecessarily, saying "You finally admitting to being a big nasty man?". How charming.
Khloé wasn't in the mood for that shit, though, and replied: "You knew the moment i fucked you up the ass." Wowzer.
She then tweeted this one word shot at her neggy followers:
Before really sticking it to the man:
You tell 'em, Khloé.

How do you make a sponsorship?
Just as individuals have the option to re-direct 2% of their income tax to a social cause, companies can invest in the non-profit sector, without any real cost, through sponsorship. According to the Romanian legislation in force (Law no. 32/1994 on sponsorship, as amended and supplemented by Government Ordinance no. 36/1998, Law no. 204/2001 and Law no. 394/2006), companies can re-direct part of the tax to a social cause, within the limit of 3‰ of their turnover, or 20% of their profit tax (the lower of the two is taken into consideration).
All you need to do is to fill out a very simple sponsorship contract. That amount is deducted from the taxes that you pay (find a sponsorship guide here).

I cant believe that this road is not on already - maybe it is under another guise.
Its where I take customers who want a little help with riding seriously twisty mountain roads before they set off.
I have only seen one group of foreign riders on it (GB) so maybe it is a secret - well worth riding.

Poor suction The actual sweeper seems to work ok, but the hose attachment has some suction but not enough to pick up things I think it should and not enough to make the power brush spin. I've checked everywhere I can for clogs, but I can't see anything. And there doesn't seem to be any way to check to hose itself for clogs. I've cleaned out the container and the filters, but there's still a problem.
Check the inlet down by the brush roll, make sure it is open, if it is then the hose itself must have a clog. If the hose comes off, drop something like a marble in one end and see it it comes out the other end, if it doesn't then you have a clog. ...

New Zealanders with an interest in human factors/ergonomics have been represented by ergonomics societies for over 50 years. We are proud of this milestone - it represents the development of a considerable depth of knowledge, and the steady provision of human factors/ergonomics skills to the people and businesses of New Zealand.
In 1966, the Ergonomics Society of Australia and New Zealand (ESANZ) was established. This followed on from the interest initially generated in 1964 when 90 people from Australia and New Zealand met in Adelaide at the first Australasian ergonomics conference.
During 1985, local interest in setting up an independent society developed to the point that, in February 1986, the New Zealand Ergonomics Society (NZES) was formed. This change occurred in consultation with ESANZ which has now changed its name to the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society of Australia (HFESA). In 1991, the New Zealand Ergonomics Society became a federated member of the International Ergonomics Association (IEA). In 2012, the New Zealand Ergonomics Society changed their name to the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society of New Zealand to align with worldwide understanding of the sector.
Recognition of the increasing need for professionalism of HFE practitioners in New Zealand saw efforts begin in 1996 to establish a certification scheme. The Board for Certification of New Zealand Ergonomists (BCNZE) was created in 1997 and began assessing applications in 1998. It operated as a sub-committee of the then New Zealand Ergonomics Society, linked to, but independent of, the main society.
The certification criteria and administration procedures are modelled on the Centre for Registration of European Ergonomists (CREE) scheme. The New Zealand and Australian Ergonomics Societies in 1998 jointly developed core competencies for ergonomists and these are taken into consideration in the certification criteria. An important milestone for BCNZE was the successful 2006 accreditation of the scheme by the International Ergonomics Association. This saw us standing alongside the far larger schemes of the UK, USA, Europe, Japan and Australia, and acts as a model for how smaller countries may be able to operate a professional certification programme. Despite relatively small numbers of Certified and Associate members, in proportion to the total New Zealand population this has been comparable to larger, more established societies. HFESNZ remains abreast of current IEA developments regarding HFE certification programmes.
Whilst the BCNZE was first administered by a separate elected Board, the October 2015 HFESNZ Rules revision saw the 'certification arm' of the society integrate with the HFESNZ committee's core duties. The previously separate registration system for certified and associate ergonomists is now part of the core membership structure (under the direction of the Professional Affairs Board), and a new 'technical' Professional Member category has been added. The three Professional Membership categories - Certified, Associate and Technical - require adherence to a Professional Code of Conduct. The remaining members -'those with an interest in ergonomics and human factors' - are Student or General Members, with some General Members also recognised as being 'Life Members' as they were founding members of the society.
Services to Members
The Society publishes the monthly 'HFE-News' distributed to members via email. Additional member news may also be sent out.
'The Ergonomist'
An arrangement with UK's CIEHF also allows HFESNZ members to purchase a subscription to receive the bi-monthly 'The Ergonomist' for more news from the profession. Contact the administrator to arrange this. It will cost around NZ$120 per annum for 6 publications full of great human factors and ergonomics news and information. These will be delivered direct to your door - or wherever your postie leaves it. Always a good read.
Conferences are held annually, with a 2 day HFESNZ conference (with proceedings) alternating with a one day event alongside the biennial Health and Safety Association of New Zealand (HASANZ) conference. The society supports HASANZ Conferences, with HFESNZ members showcasing a broad range of human factors/ergonomics content relevant to the health and safety sector. We look forward to the next HASANZ Conference.
The Society hosts webinars approximately two monthly. Members are advised of these via the newsletter and attend (online) after registering. These are free to members and attendance adds to your Professional Development portfolio. Even if you can't attend on the date of the Webinar, register online and you can view the recorded session at a time that suits.
Interest Groups and Regional Meetings
The Society has several interest groups - The Healthcare Ergonomics Cluster (HEC), co-ordinator contact; Transport Interest Group, contact the Administrator and Musculoskeletal Interest Group - contact the Administrator.
Regional and Interest group meetings will be advised through the HFE-Newsletter. Members are encouraged to get in touch with the Administrator if they have an idea for a local society get-together.
Member Network
Member's contact information and areas of professional skill and interest are shared. Members may have specific training in human factors/ergonomics, and/or find their way to the field from a broad range of backgrounds - including: academia, architecture, engineering, industrial design, medicine, occupational health nursing, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, psychology, rehabilitation, work study, computer science, safety engineering, social research/science, and management – etc. We are brought together by our shared interest in human performance and the understanding of the many aspects of systems that impact on this. Regular meetings and webinars are designed to provide members with the opportunity to network. As a member-driven organisation we invite all members to participate in and support/create these professional events – contact the administrator if you wish to host or arrange a meeting in your area.
Professional Representation
HFESNZ works to promote human factors/ergonomics to industry, policy makers, regulators, educators and research funders via a range of activities. Actively working with HASANZ allows a vehicle for raising professional standards and professional excellence within our own profession and the other disciplines within the health and safety sector. HASANZ provides a forum for the promotion of human factors/ergonomics across government and educational agencies.
Awards and Grants
Society Award
HFESNZ has awarded three members the 'President's Award' (selected by an outgoing Society President) - these were to Carol Slappendel in 1991, for her 'outstanding contribution to the advancement of ergonomics in New Zealand'; to Len Ring in 2001 for his 'contribution to the advancement of ergonomics in New Zealand', and to Marion Edwin in 2009, for her 'outstanding contributions to the advancement of ergonomics in New Zealand between 1991 and 2009'.
From 2017 the HFESNZ committee will confer a 'Society Award' recognising those who have provided value and service to HFESNZ and to the practice of HFE in New Zealand.
In 2018 Society Awards were made to Craig Smith and Peter Bateman. (Members see HFE-News October 2018).
Student Conference Attendance Assistance Grants
For HFESNZ Conferences the committee may make funds available to support students to attend and present. This will be notified for each conference and applications invited.

Netflix's "Making a Murderer" 10-part documentary has divided many viewers into two camps: Those who believe Steven Avery is guilty of murdering 25-year-old Teresa Halbach and those who believe he's innocent.
But perhaps no one believes Avery is innocent more than his mother, Dolores.
Fans of the docuseries know Dolores for her unwavering support and belief in her son, making frequent trips to the jail, sitting resolutely at his trial, and giving multiple interviews to filmmakers Moira Demos and Laura Ricciardi.
And now, Dolores is speaking out after the documentary to not only insist of her son's innocence, but theorizes that the victim, Teresa Halbach, may still be alive.
In audio from "The Hill-Man Morning Show" on Boston's WAAF radio, published by TMZ, Dolores explains this belief to the hosts.
After being asked who she thought killed Halbach, Dolores replied, "I don't know, but I wish the person would come forward. But I don't think she's even dead."
As for the evidence in the trial that proved the bones in the burn pit belonged to Halbach, Dolores at first asked "How do you know if them were her bones?" before adding that someone could have "planted them then," just like the allegedly planted RAV4 key of Halbach's car in Avery's trailer.
Though the DNA evidence proves the bones found on the Avery property are Halbach's, there is some discrepancy according to Avery's defense lawyers on when she was killed.
The state's timeline says Avery tortured, raped, and killed Halbach along with his 16-year-old nephew Brendan Dassey on October 31, 2005.
The defense notes, however, that Halbach wasn't reported missing until late in the afternoon of November 3 and a mysterious someone accessed Halbach's phone mailbox on November 2.
"So here, 36 hours earlier, we have someone listening to her voicemail," one of Avery's former defense attorneys Jerry Buting explained to RollingStone. "Why? Either she's not dead and she's listening to them herself — which of course didn't sit with the state's theory — or somebody else is doing that."
The state argues Avery could have accessed her phone and voicemail on November 2 himself since it was found nearby in a burn barrel, along with other contents from her purse.
You can listen to the full audio of Dolores Avery's interview at TMZ.
Disclosure: Mathias Döpfner, CEO of Business Insider's parent company, Axel Springer, is a Netflix board member.

Azealia Banks Begs to Be Dropped From Her Label
Azealia Banks isn't above begging to get out of a record deal.
Banks took to Twitter yesterday and pleaded for Universal Records to release her from its roster. The tension apparently comes from the record label delaying her Broke With Expensive Taste debut.
As the 22-year-old Harlem rapper put it, she's been "riding off of mixtape fumes for the past two years" and more than ready to give fans new music. "Universal just needs to hand me over to another label that knows what to do with me," tweeted Banks. "I'm literally begging to be dropped from Universal."
She added that she's "tired" of "having to consult a group of old white guys" about her "Black girl craft," and admitted, "I would literally give anything to be on XXL right now."
Banks also knows which label she wants to call home. "Can someone at Sony buy me off of Universal please?? I'm really in hell here," she wrote.
It's only been about 24 hours, but so far Sony hasn't stepped up to the plate. If she doesn't end up making the label jump, Banks may want to think twice about blasting Universal.
Angel Haze went on a similar Twitter tirade and leaked her Dirty Gold debut, which ended up backfiring. Once Universal gave Haze an official drop date, the LP sold less than 1,000 U.S. copies in its first week, and only 857 in the U.K.
