Parents' subjective well-being after their first child and declining fertility expectations
By Francesca Luppi and Letizia Mencarini, out in Demographic Research
Background: Recent studies have suggested a decline in subjective well-being after the birth of a first child. Yet parents' subjective well-being is, in general, linked positively to wanting and to having additional children.
Objective: The paper addresses the question of whether new parents' satisfaction with their overall life and several specific life spheres modifies their expectations about having a second, or further, child.
Methods: Relying on twelve waves of the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia panel survey (2001–2012), we apply piecewise growth models to a sample of individuals in couples who experience parenthood for the first time. We model, separately by gender, the relationship between satisfaction in seventeen life domains, overall life satisfaction, and fertility expectations during the first three years following the birth of a first child.
Results: Results suggest that a decline in new parents' life satisfaction, overall and in different life domains, is associated with a significant decline in fertility expectations. The most important domains are family, social relationship, and work, although with differences by gender. In fact, mothers' fertility expectations are positively associated with their satisfaction with career prospects and with their work–family balance, whereas, for fathers, fertility expectations are positively associated with their financial situation.
Contribution: Our study provides strong evidence that several life domains – and new parents' changes in satisfaction with regard to them – are important in elucidating the mechanism linking fertility expectations and the first child.

Life satisfaction favors reproduction. The universal positive effect of life satisfaction on childbearing in contemporary low fertility countries
by Letizia Mencarini, Daniele Vignoli, Tugba Zeydanli, Jungho Kim out in PlosOne
Abstract. Do people with higher life satisfaction have more children? Having children requires considerable energy and investment on the part of parents. However, even in countries where contraceptives are easily available and widely used, where having children is optional and most of time the result of an intended action, parenthood has not gone "out of fashion". This paper tests the hypothesis that higher life satisfaction fosters reproductive behavior. We argue that people satisfied with their overall life feel better prepared to start the monumental task of childrearing. If, it is suggested, life satisfaction facilitates fertility, then this positive link should be observable in contemporary low fertility societies. The hypothesis is tested by taking overall life satisfaction as a determinant of fertility behavior using long longitudinal data available for developed countries: namely for Australia, Germany, Russia, South Korea, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. We find that higher levels of subjective well-being are, indeed, associated with a higher probability of having children in all the countries considered. We, therefore, conclude that life satisfaction favors reproduction, at least in low fertility.

"Fertility and Life Satisfaction in Rural Ethiopia". New SWELLFER's paper published in Demography
Abstract. Despite recent strong interest in the link between fertility and subjective well-being, the focus has centered on developed countries. For poorer countries, in contrast, the relationship remains rather elusive. Using a well-established panel survey—the Ethiopian Rural Household Survey (ERHS)—we investigate the empirical relationship between fertility and life satisfaction in rural Ethiopia, the largest landlocked country in Africa. Consistent with the fertility theories for developing countries and with the sociodemographic characteristics of rural Ethiopia, we hypothesize that this relationship varies by gender and across life stages, being more positive for men and for parents in old age. Indeed, our results suggest that older men benefit the most in terms of life satisfaction from having a large number of children, while the recent birth of a child is detrimental for the subjective well-being of women at reproductive ages. We address endogeneity issues by using lagged life satisfaction in ordinary least squares regressions, through fixed-effects estimation and the use of instrumental variables.

The first World Happiness Report was published in April, 2012, in support of the UN High Level Meeting on happiness and well-being. Since then the world has come a long way. Increasingly, happiness is considered to be the proper measure of social progress and the goal of public policy. In June 2016 the OECD committed itself "to redefine the growth narrative to put people's well-being at the center of governments' efforts". In February 2017, the United Arab Emirates held a full-day World Happiness meeting, as part of the World Government Summit. Now on World Happiness Day, March 20th, we launch the World Happiness Report 2017, once again back at the United Nations, again published by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network, and now supported by a generous three-year grant from the Ernesto Illy Foundation. Some highlights are as follows.

Alcuni risultati di Swellfer oggi su La Repubblica
Research suggests women are happier than men, but is this right?
One common yet counterintuitive finding in the life satisfaction literature is that women on average report higher life satisfaction than men, even though they're worse off in many measurable ways. This finding raises the question: are women actually happier than men, or are they just reporting that they're happier?

What stops parents from having a second child?
by Francesca Luppi on N-IUSSP
Parents of one child are commonly confronted by the first child's persistent pleas for a little brother or sister. However, they might be skeptical about satisfying their child's request because they know from experience how easily childbearing can turn their well-balanced daily life upside-down. Childbearing can be far less joyful than one might imagine before experiencing it, as witnessed by the decline in parents' – and especially mothers' – happiness and life satisfaction shortly after the birth of the first child (Kohler and Mencarini, 2016). The first child is the proving ground of parenthood: prospective parents' expectations about how life will change with the arrival of a child do not often match the reality of experience after the birth (Craig and Siminski, 2010). Tiredness due to sleepless nights and to the infant's relentless needs are among the causes. Additionally, childbearing reduces time for intimacy, increases the level of conflict within the couple and dissatisfaction with the partner, in particular about how partners should share the household tasks (Twenge et al. 2003; Doss, 2009). Traditionally, the mother is the parent with more responsibilities for childcare, especially during the first years of the child's life. This means that she often takes on the double burden of family and work, sometimes sacrificing her career prospects in order to reconcile her multiple responsibilities.
Understanding whether and how first parental experience affects the probability and the timing of a second child is important for theoretical and practical reasons. The theoretical reason is that low fertility is in large part due to couples stopping at the first child. Do these couples forego the second child because they are dissatisfied with their life after the first birth? The practical reason concerns the possibility of policy intervention to support fertility within specific social groups which might experience more difficulties related to childbearing.

Why we should be looking at happiness inequality
Much research and policy discussion over the past decade or two has argued for measures of wellbeing that are broader than the indicators of income and wealth previously used as the primary measures of human and social progress (e.g. Stiglitz et al. 2010, OECD 2013). There has also been a surge of interest in the measurement and welfare analysis of what is, in many countries, growing inequality of income and wealth (United Nations 2013, Atkinson 2015). But discussions about the measurement and consequences of inequality have thus far been focused mainly on the distribution of income and wealth, both within and across countries (Atkinson and Bourguignon 2014, Piketty 2014). Even where attention has been paid to other forms of inequality – for example, based on ethnicity, gender, health, or education (Putnam 2015) – little has been done to compare the sources or measure the relative importance of these diverse types of inequality.
If subjective wellbeing provides a better measure of welfare than that provided by income and wealth, should inequality in the distribution of subjective wellbeing not provide a superior measure of inequality? Should it not also be expected to reveal the combined consequences of various sorts of inequality?

The Parenthood Happiness Puzzle: An Introduction to Special Issue (European Journal of Population – 2016)
Hans Peter Kohler and Letizia Mencarini
Contrary to conventional wisdom, recent studies argue that parenthood is not necessarily related to higher parental subjective well-being (SWB). However, parenthood remains an important aspect of adults' lives, also in highly developed societies where childbearing has become optional, financially expensive and affecting other goals in life. Whereas a great deal of effort has been put into answering why fertility is low in so many developed countries, one may even ask why is it not even lower. The answer is not obvious but stems from the fact that, to date, the relationship between fertility and SWB has been understudied and the mechanisms at work are not well understood. This special issue makes a step forward in this line of research, providing a coherent set of papers addressing different dimensions of the relationship between fertility and SWB and its mechanisms, starting from a demographic perspective, but integrating theories and research results from other disciplines. The collection of papers assesses the effect of the birth of a child on the individual SWB from angles still unexplored with the idea that the effects of fertility on individuals' SWB are diverse depending on individual, couple and country contextual factors.

L'altra metà del lavoro
Più cresce l'occupazione delle donne, più si crea reddito e più si fanno figli. Ma pesa il divario "domestico" di genere: la fatica non retribuita è distribuita male. In particolare in Italia
Melinda Gates se lo ricorda ancora, l'incubo mattutino dell'interminabile viaggio in auto per accompagnare all'asilo la primogenita Jennifer Katharine, oggi ventenne. Racconta che, sentendola in affanno, il marito, allora amministratore delegato della Microsoft, si offrì di sostituirla nell'incombenza due volte alla settimana. Con un certo senso dell'umorismo, Ms Gates suggerisce a ogni mamma stremata di mettere con le spalle al muro il partner: «Provate a dirgli: caro, se ci è riuscito uno come Bill Gates, a portare all'asilo la sua bambina, pensa a come potresti farlo meglio tu!».
Si sa: casalinga o professionista full-time, benestante o indigente, ogni signora di ogni latitudine, più o meno supportata, fa crescere i neonati e i bambini, instrada gli adolescenti, cura i malati, assiste gli anziani, nutre le famiglie, tiene in ordine le case, la biancheria e i vestiti. E tutto questo nelle situazioni migliori, perché altrimenti le tocca pure procurarsi acqua e legna e coltivare i campi.
Ms Gates non è certo la prima a inserire nell'ordine del giorno la caring economy e gli effetti socio-economici del lavoro di cura.

Un buon welfare può rendere felici i genitori
È un fatto pressoché immutabile: a prescindere dal paese in cui vivete e dalla fase di vita in cui vi trovate, avere dei bambini vi rende molto meno felici rispetto alle persone che non ne hanno. È il cosiddetto divario di felicità dei genitori.
Secondo una nuova ricerca pubblicata sull'American Journal of Sociology, i genitori americani sono particolarmente infelici da questo punto di vista, con il divario più ampio (13 per cento) in un gruppo di 22 paesi industrializzati.

The foul reign of the biological clock
"I wasted years with x!" I have never heard a straight man say this. But when a woman does, after a breakup, everyone immediately understands what she means. We are raised to believe that female bodies are time bombs. Any relationship that does not "work out" – which is to say, does not get a woman pregnant by a man committed to helping her raise their offspring – brings her closer to her expiration date. At the stroke of midnight, our eggs turn into dust.

Want to save your marriage? Don't have kids
Lots of women look forward to motherhood – getting to know a tiny baby, raising a growing child, developing a relationship with a maturing son or daughter. All over the world, people believe that parenting is the most rewarding part of life. And it's good that so many mothers treasure that bond with their child, because the transition to parenthood causes profound changes in a woman's marriage and her overall happiness … and not for the better.

Happy families? Male acceptance of equality in the home could define the future
As we approach the UN International Day of Families, only the foolhardy would try and predict the future of family groups. Previous attempts have, in fact, failed. William J Goode, writing in the early 1960s during the "golden age of marriage", saw convergence towards the Western-style conjugal family as an inevitable consequence of industrialisation. No sooner had his seminal book, World Revolution and Family Patterns, been published than divorce rates started increasing, and married women began moving into the labour force.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained, however. And there are some clear clues we can draw on to guess how family life might change in Europe over the years.

Childlessness: What's Old, What's New, What's Innovative
by Michaela Kreyenfeld
"Explanations for childlessness have long abounded in popular culture. Some have chalked it up to decaying mores, others to cataclysmic events like war or economic disaster—still others to policy, which can be the cause or effect of any of these. But like so much in science, reality does not necessarily fit, or at least fit nicely, with what we "observe" on a daily basis."

Le mamme italiane tra le meno felici d'Europa
I padri sono significativamente più felici dei non padri.Vale in tutti i Paesi della nostra Europa, qualunque sia la latitudine o il prodotto interno lordo. Lo stesso ragionamento non vale per le madri. Le donne con figli sono più felici di quelle che non li hanno soltanto nei Paesi più sviluppati, quelli nei quali c'è una maggiore partecipazione femminile alla vita politica e dove le politiche a sostegno della conciliazione tra casa e lavoro ci sono e funzionano.
L'analisi è uno dei risultati, non ancora definitivi visto che lo studio è in corso e andrà avanti per altri due anni, del progetto su «Benessere e fecondità» (Swellfer). La ricerca è finanziata con più di un milione di euro dal Consiglio europeo della ricerca ed è coordinata dalla professoressa Letizia Mencarini, che se ne è occupata nel Collegio Carlo Alberto di Torino fino a dicembre e da quest'anno lo farà nel Centro Dondena della Bocconi di Milano.

Gender Differences in Subjective Well-Being and Their Relationships with Gender Equality
Gerhard Meisenberg • Michael A. Woodley
Although most surveys of happiness and general life satisfaction find only
small differences between men and women, women report slightly higher subjective wellbeing than men in some countries, and slightly lower subjective well-being in others. The present study investigates the social and cultural conditions that favor higher female relative to male happiness and life satisfaction. Results from more than 90 countries represented
in the World Values Survey show that conditions associated with a high level of female relative to male happiness and life satisfaction include a high proportion of Muslims in the country, a low proportion of Catholics, and absence of communist history.
Among indicators of gender equality, a low rate of female non-agricultural employment is associated with higher female-versus-male happiness and satisfaction. Differences in the rate of female non-agricultural employment explain part of the effects of communist history and prevailing religion. They may also explain the recent observation of declining female life satisfaction in the United States.

Institutional Change, Happiness, and Fertility
Arnstein Aassve, Letizia Mencarini and Maria Sironi
Building on existing theories of fertility dynamics, this article provides a theoretical perspective that connects two recent strands of the literature. The first concerns gender equity and equality where institutions play a critical role. The second is that subjective well-being matters in explaining childbearing behaviour (and vice versa). Our key argument is that subjective well-being is a direct function of the discrepancy between aspirations and attainment, here interpreted as a potential mismatch between gender equity and equality. As aspirations change over time, discrepancy arises in so far institutions are unable to follow suit with new emerging preferences. This lowers subjective well-being associated with childbearing, and hence leads to lower levels of fertility. Our empirical analysis is based on the European Social Survey, and although taking an indirect approach, we provide support for this idea. Fertility and happiness are higher where institutions appear to have adapted to women's new preferences and aspirations, which is further supported by strong gender differences in happiness associated with parenthood. Fathers are always happier than non-fathers—no matter the circumstances of the country where they reside—whereas mothers are happier only when relevant institutions are in place.

Men want to spend more time at home – even if it means taking a pay cut
We're all familiar with what sociologists call "the traditional family": a straight, married couple, with a male breadwinner who works long hours to support his family, while the woman stays home, takes care of the domestic work, and rears the children. Feminists have long campaigned against the factors which ensure that this the only option – for both men and women. Now, it appears that male breadwinners aren't too happy with it either.

Women are less happy with their relationship than men.
A 10-year survey of marriages and de facto relationships in Australia has delivered one overwhelming observation: women are less satisfied with their relationships than men are.
The latest Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia survey compiles responses from 12 waves of participants who were asked to rank their relationship satisfaction and factors leading to separation.
The booklet 'Measuring and reporting on Europeans' Wellbeing' presents findings on Europeans' wellbeing using data from the first six rounds of the ESS. The aim is to showcase the scope that ESS data provide for exploring the definition, distribution and drivers of subjective wellbeing across Europe and to encourage others to make full use of ESS data in advancing society's understanding of these important issues. This is the result of a collaboration between leading experts on wellbeing in Europe and prominent researchers in fields such as sociology, political science, demography, psychology and geography, to identify some highlights from the rich body of research into wellbeing carried out using ESS data. By making a variety of innovative, methodologically sophisticated, and policy-relevant findings easily accessible, the aim is to provide a valuable contribution to both academic and policy debates around wellbeing.
Arnstein Aassve, Letizia Mencarini and Maria Sironi contributed to this issue with the article: "Does parenthood bring about happiness?"

World Happiness Report 2015
The world has come a long way since the first World Happiness Report in 2012. Happiness is increasingly considered a proper measure of social progress and a goal of public policy.
The year 2015 is a watershed for humanity, with the pending adoption of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to help guide the world community towards a more inclusive and sustainable pattern of global development. The UN member states called for SDGs on the occasion of the Rio+20 Summit, marking the 20th anniversary of the Rio Earth Summit. The SDGs will be adopted by heads of state at a special summit at the United Nations in September 2015, on the 70th anniversary of the UN. The concepts of happiness and well-being are very likely to help guide progress towards sustainable development.

In pursuit of happiness: why some pain helps us feel pleasure
by B.Bastian
The idea that we can achieve happiness by maximising pleasure and minimising pain is both intuitive and popular. The truth is, however, very different. Pleasure alone cannot not make us happy.
Take Christina Onassis, the daughter of shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis. She inherited wealth beyond imagination and spent it on extravagant pleasures in an attempt to alleviate her unhappiness. She died at 37 and her biography, tellingly subtitled All the Pain Money Can Buy, recounts a life full of mind-boggling extravagance that contributed to her suffering.

Why our happiness and satisfaction should replace GDP in policy making
by R.A. Easterlin
Since 1990, GDP per person in China has doubled and then redoubled. With average incomes multiplying fourfold in little more than two decades, one might expect many of the Chinese people to be dancing in the streets. Yet, when asked about their satisfaction with life, they are, if anything, less satisfied than in 1990.
The disparity indicated by these two measures of human progress, Gross Domestic Product and Subjective Well Being (SWB), makes pretty plain the issue at hand. GDP, the well-being indicator commonly used in policy circles, signals an outstanding advance in China. SWB, as indicated by self-reports of overall satisfaction with life, suggests, if anything, a worsening of people's lives. Which measure is a more meaningful index of well-being? Which is a better guide for public policy?

Sempre meno mamme, sempre meno bambini
In Italia le nascite sono in costante diminuzione, non solo per il calo della fecondità ma anche perché si riduce il numero delle potenziali mamme. In calo anche i nati da genitori di origine straniera, mentre aumenta per tutte l'età media alla nascita dei figli. E sempre più bambini nascono da genitori non sposati. In altri paesi i nuovi modi di fare famiglia hanno aiutato la fecondità. Da noi si teme che non succederà.

How to Easily Add Gamification to your L&D Program
February 7, 2019
A lot of learning and development thought leaders have been using the term "gamification" lately. This could be in large part due to L&D always looking for creative ways to boost learner engagement. Meanwhile, if we look at the world of video games, we see eye-popping engagement and sales numbers that would have been deemed impossible just a decade earlier.
Fun fact: This year the video game Grand Theft Auto 5, which has $6 billion in sales, has become the highest grossing piece of entertainment of all time. Surpassing the entire Star Wars franchise which holds 2nd place with just $4 billion in sales.
Although it may seem that gamification isn't related to the serious world of L&D, there are certain principles that can be lifted. And, those L&D professionals who have already started to "gamify" their L&D programs have already found great success.
Here are the top ways to use gamification in your L&D programs:
4 Types of players L&D pros can leverage
According to Richard Bartle's taxonomy of player types, there are four primary types of players:
"Killers" - Focus on winning, rank, and direct peer-to-peer competition. They are engaged by leaderboards and ranks. In the context of L&D, the highest concentration of "killers" is usually found in the sales org.
"Achievers" - Focus on attaining status and achieving goals quickly and/or completely. They are engaged by a recognition of their achievements. Achievers are the people in your org who tend to have an above average interest in getting promoted.
"Explorers" - Focus on exploring and are curious to discover new things. They are engaged by discovering hidden gems or less obvious achievements. Explorers tend to be the people in your org who want to learn about subjects less related to their direct day-to-day job.
"Socialites" - Focus on developing a network of friends and contacts. They are engaged by group activities, newsfeeds, and peer-to-peer interactions. Socialites benefit from having a shared learning experience with their peers.
Creating a single learning event to motivate all four types of "players" is very difficult and not necessarily the best way to build out a well rounded L&D program. Just as game companies create different games to appeal to different players, L&D professionals should consider creating different activities to motivate the different learners in their organization.
You could, for example, create a competition to motivate your "killer" learners one month and then create a group study event to motivate your "socialites" the next month. You could also leverage features within your online learning platform, such as badges and certifications, to motivate your "achievers." Or, for your "explorers," you could open up a catalog of over 13,000 courses that they can browse on-demand however they like.
Getting Started with Gamification
The trick to adding gamification to your L&D program is to start with just one or two "player" types and build from there. An easy way to start with gamification is by targeting both the "killer" and "achiever" players in your organization by hosting a learning competition. Most successful organizations will have plenty of these types of personalities by virtue of hiring smart and driven people, making a learning competition a solid way to activate them.
Here are a couple of examples:
The Arvato Cup - Player Types: Killers, Achievers
To gamify their L&D program, a global services company, Arvato, took a page straight out of the NHL. The L&D team had a trophy built that they treated similar to the Stanley Cup. The trophy is given to the office that learns at the highest rate and the trophy travels all around the world throughout Arvato's global offices.
Arvato's Learning & Development Consultant, Gavin Walsh, said, "It's just a fun way to keep learning top-of-mind. People are excited to win the trophy, and they also get motivated when they see it go somewhere else."
The LinkedIn Learning Challenge - Player Types: Achievers, Socialites
At LinkedIn, our own L&D team created an entire week of competition known as the LinkedIn Learning Challenge. The challenge pitted each department against one another and we saw 3x the engagement numbers compared to previous weeks.
The goal for engagement was set at just 15 minutes, making it easily achievable, yet the "achiever" learners tended to overachieve that goal by logging 57 minutes of learning on average. "Socialites" also engaged with the challenge as we saw a ton of friendly jousting from different departments in email threads, chat groups, and even between executives. In the end, it was the Legal & Public Policy team who won the LinkedIn Learning Challenge cup, but we're sure that next year the other departments will step up their learning even more.

Regular business travelers know there are pros and cons to the lifestyle. Taking your spouse with you can significantly reduce the cons. I've tagged along on many of my husband's business trips over the past decade. If it were possible, he'd have me join him all the time for the following reasons:
It's Healthier
Frequent business travel takes a toll on your health. You're out of your routine; it's easy to eat poorly and to skip working out. There's also the psychological strain of being away from home and your loved ones.
Having your spouse with you makes it less likely you'll return to your hotel room with a bag of take-out that you'll eat in front of your laptop or the TV. You're more motivated to get out and explore the place you're visiting. It's also easier to hit the fitness center or head out for a run if you have someone to do it with you.
Having your spouse with you also lessens the isolation of frequent business travel. There is someone close at hand that you can talk to and be yourself around at the end of the day.
It's Good for Your Relationship
Frequent separation from your significant other can put stress on the relationship. Although there are many ways to try to stay connected with today's technology, they can never take the place of actually being with each other.
Travel (even if it's for business) can add a touch of romance to your lives. Planning a night or two when you're not working to take in a local event or have a quiet dinner together can feel like a mini-vacation when you're in a foreign city and away from household responsibilities. It allows you to connect as a couple in a way that's special. Rather than seeing business travel as a burden, it becomes more of a perk.
It's Good for Business
Positive social connections can aid business dealings. Inviting a business associate out to dinner with your spouses along can help cement relationships. It forces you to push conversation beyond business into the realm of other hobbies and interests. It can help you to understand personalities and motivations in a way that's more holistic, and that can make business go more smoothly.
It Dispels Myths About Business Travel
If your spouse doesn't travel for business, he or she may envision it as a non-stop festival of swish corporate events and luxury living. This perception can lead to feelings of envy and resentment for the spouse left at home. The reality is often quite different. Travel for work usually means long hours, high-stakes meetings and evenings hunched over a laptop answering emails and preparing for the following day. I admit that before I started tagging along, I was sulky when yet another business trip appeared on the calendar. Now that I've experienced business travel firsthand, my expectations are more realistic.
It Cuts Travel Costs in Half
When your business covers the expenses for one of you, corporate travel that includes a bit of leisure time is an inexpensive way to get to some amazing destinations. We've often used the end of a business trip as the start of a vacation in that city or to a location nearby. Those airfare savings are hard to beat.

Galveston vacation options allow your furry friends to join the fun
Spring Break and summer vacation likely have you dreaming of sunshine, relaxation and adventure to escape your everyday stressors and busy work life.
When it comes to planning a family vacation or weekend getaway, you also need to consider care options for your pets.
But what if you could make planning much simpler by bringing them with you?
If your destination is Galveston, there are tons of pet-friendly vacation rental options available, as well as places to take your pet to enjoy fun on the island.
Galveston's East Beach and Stewart Beach are two popular pet-friendly beach options. If you're bringing your dog to the beach with you, you'll not only want to ensure they have a great time, but also that you're mindful of other guests around you.
Only on HoustonChronicle.com: As energy world focuses on Permian, Gulf makes its own comeback
City ordinances require dogs to be on a leash at all times, so be sure to follow the rules. Make sure to pack your furry ones' essentials such as food, water, dishes, leashes, waste bags and treats.
Additionally, if you're out at the beach, it's likely that it's hot outside, so be sure to offer more water to your pet than you otherwise normally might, and keep them in the shade whenever possible. Don't let your dog drink seawater, as it might make them sick.
Finally, always make sure to clean up and dispose of pet waste in any public place you take your dog on the island.
As an alternative to the beach, Galveston's Lindale Park, Menard Park and Kempner Park all have fenced dog parks to give your pup the chance to exercise and roam freely while socializing with other dogs. Saengerfest Park is also popular for pets, though as with the beaches, dogs are required to be leashed at all times.

Additionally, if your friends or family taks a boat on the water, your dog is likely to enjoy being a part of the fun, too, but you'll want to keep and eye on them to make sure they're safe and don't attempt to jump out. Similarly, BayWatch Dolphin Tours offers dog-friendly cruises on boats with covered interiors, allowing your dog to safely enjoy an unforgettable experience seeing dolphins in their natural habitat. Visit www.galveston.com/baywatch to learn more.
Where to stay with Spot
As far as lodging, you'll want to make sure to look for a place with walkable areas surrounding it for when you take your dog out in the mornings and evenings. Even though you'll need to make sure to keep your dog leashed at all times, also try to find a place that's not near many busy streets and heavy car traffic.
Sand 'N Sea Properties offers a variety of pet-friendly Galveston beach house rentals that allow guests to bring up to two small dogs for a non-refundable $125 pet fee. Each furry guest is greeted with a special gift upon check-in. Visit www.sandnsea.com/rentals/pet-friendly to browse listings and learn more.
Other options for finding pet-friendly vacation rentals in Galveston include Airbnb.com, VRBO.com and galvestontxbeachrental.com.

2019 Dodge RAM 1500 Diesel Redesign – The new 2019 Dodge Ram 1500 proposes to have grills that are not exactly so high, so it could improve its streamlined features. The letters of the liberal rebel back end can be supplanted by the RAM logo or more tiny cards; In any case, the style of "huge truck" will proceed irrefutably. The reticule is declared to return dynamically, with Dodge offering it up in comparison with the RAM. Car information fact that the headlights of the fronts will be more and strengthened on the other hand on the grid, with even shadow lights put on the monitor; Also, I was expecting a eulogy center to help provide more space.
The star update with the coordinate mix should improve the power to 310-320 HP, with a more significant money situation and a better pair of low range. There have been gossip that the Hemi engines of the 5.7-liter "Apache" will be refreshed emphatically. However the genuine adjustment may have been delivered, and on the other hand, the association could also be jumping away on the Hemis stacked after 2018. A dual-displacement V6 is anticipated around 2020, however it might appear earlier. There are additional diesel trade tips to a higher friction cutoff, possibly with cooling, arranging, and engine changes; It is right now evaluated in 9,200.

The throw sections join the size to the Voyager chamber; A wrinkle catapulted on the roof over the taxi from the new portal staff need to achieve greater gateway opening and on the other hand more rear seating area.
At the front, as opposed to the Powerwagon-like grill people expected, the RAM went for a reactivated reticule grid. The level bracket is directly thicker; The grid's convergence point has been moved marginally, and now consolidates the RAM logo. This is a really nice change about what it was.
Its headlights, and also the taillights, use a C-shaped led pack, similar to the one found in the charger. The back end also gives an impression of being new, but that's all we can see from the few representations spilled to this point.

Being a Times Square Elmo (New Yorker.com)
Last Saturday, a few blocks north of Times Square, a nineteen-year-old named Virgilia Reyes was wearing a red Elmo costume, with a drawstring bag slung across her back and an Android phone in her hand. She was moving up and down the block, and had been texting her shifting coordinates to me for half an hour. It was 4:30 P.M., and the streets were jammed with tourists. On each corner, and everywhere in between, a swarm of characters, Reyes-as-Elmo among them, tried to pose for photos with the passersby, then relieve them of a few dollars in tips.
On the median strip at Forty-fifth Street and Seventh Avenue, a woman stood naked from the waist up, her bare chest painted the colors of the Brazilian flag. Statues of Liberty, swaddled in spray-painted silver gowns and perched on stepstools, held plastic torches and called out to each other in Spanish. A man with a ponytail sold tickets to a comedy club, while guys in green vests hawked tickets for a bus tour. The crowds inched past. In the interstices of the mob were a Power Ranger, a Spider-Man, a Woody from "Toy Story," Minnie Mouse, two Cookie Monsters, a Super Mario, Hello Kitty, two more Elmos, and a Batman.
Reyes summed them all up in a word: competition. "There are too many characters out here," she told me. The streets were full of easy marks, but also too many hucksters. She fixed her stare on the topless Brazilian. "Who does that? I have too much respect for my body for that."

The periodic table might not seem like the place to look for love, but if you take a modern periodic table and do a little cutting and folding, you'll end up with "kissing elements." These are the elements that can be stably fused together because they have complementary electron structures. Elemental relationships aren't the only things that give the periodic table a certain sort of romance. Communication, one of the most important elements in any human relationship, was at the heart of creation of the periodic table. Presenting chemical information to students in an efficient and clearly written format was a challenge, and so the periodic table was devised partly as a learning tool. Grab your science sweetie, and join David E. Dunning as he tells the marvelous story of Dmitri Mendeleev's work. Afterward, nerd out together with activities from our very own Othmer librarians. Find your elemental love match, make a valentine, and capture the romance in a photo booth provided by our friends at Yellow Mirror. The event includes a reception featuring live music by the UD Faculty Jazz Ensemble and hors d'oeuvres and drinks inspired by the theme of love. Registration for this event is required. Tickets are $20 per person, $35 per couple. For more information, contact Alexis Pedrick at firstname.lastname@example.com. About David E. Dunning David E. Dunning is a PhD candidate in the Program in the History of Science at Princeton University. He's writing his dissertation on the use of mathematical notations in the science of logic. More generally, he focuses on the practices of reading, writing, and teaching, through which scientists build and promote their theories. His research also explores the relationships between different areas of knowledge and the ways those areas get redefined over time. About UD Faculty Jazz Ensemble Composed of University of Delaware faculty members who are in demand as jazz performers in and around the Delaware Valley, the UD Faculty Jazz Ensemble is dedicated to the performance of and education about America's classical music. The ensemble performs on campus as part of the Department of Music's concert series and is available for clinics and performances in schools and concert venues.

The following were purchased at Armageddon Shop, Providence, RI.
Wooden Shjips: "Loose Lips" b/w "Start to Dreaming" – 2007 – Sub Pop:
Hometown: San Francisco (Duh)
The first time I spun this on my turntable I had a heart attack, scrambled for the closest piece of paper in my realm (a brown paper bag), and jotted down the following disjointed, superfluous information:
All I can ever hope for when first putting on a record…exquisite psychedelia…what pedals do these guys have and where can I purchase them?…if the hippies had made music this raw and honest then maybe we would've accomplished some real Ken Kesey mind expansion, "on the bus" type shit…my mouth is both smiling and gaping…I can feel my outlook on music changing as we speak…and that's the most incredible sort of music to stumble upon…the tightness of the bass and drums, their ability in keeping such a strong and catchy rhythm, allows the fuzzed out, pedaled-out electric guitars to blast to different levels and energies, to truly experiment into a distorted madness, smashing all available synapses until they collapse into the oblivion of Wooden Shjips' kaleidoscope frenzy.
Wooden Shjips sound exactly like Boston cult-heroes Cul de Sac, sorta like a sinister version of The Doors, and slightly like kraut-rock super-stars Neu. Take these three bands, thrown them together in an underwater cavern, and grind them in a Velvet Underground "Sister Ray" whirlpool blender, and what do you get? That's right: Wooden Shjips, eating out yo Momma's pussy.
Grade: A+ = Blew my mind in a grey cloud of sonic boom. My brain matter is on fire.
Sonic Chicken 4: "Surf on a Plane" b/w "Crushed" – Trouble in Mind (Records) – Sept 2009
Hometown: Perpignan, France
Sonically like crusty Velvet Underground pop, in spirit like The Rolling Stones "Exile on Main Street" era of nasty swamp-rock. Or: a French ramshackle garage lo-fi rock crew that rolls right over 95% of your favorite blogger's chill-wave butt-surprises with an intense sense of fun and lack of pretension that may scare you just enough into buying Nuggets Vol. 1.
Grade: B+ = Nothing ground-breaking, besides that ram sticking a boner into your temple. Keeps that cookie from a-crumblin'!

After payment, no additional actions are required and you can immediately start using the received account with a subscription (after entering the account, if you wish, you can immediately change the password to the one you need).
I also want to note that in accounts ALREADY a bank card is attached (and card binding is a necessary condition for activating almost any codes) and therefore you will not need to bind your personal card and worry, no matter how much money is written off from it (for example when the subscription ends or something else).
</ attention>
🔴🔴🔴 I thoroughly test all products and are responsible for the quality! (and I also very quickly track any changes that occur ... as an example, the recent deterioration / complication of the activation of many codes for IVI) So, if all of a sudden (!) there are any problems that I have I still can not decide, you will receive an equivalent replacement of the goods, and in case of impossibility of replacement, of course, a refund.
If you have any questions or technical difficulties - always consult and help solve any problems that arise! Although in the case of the purchase of ready-made ACCOUNTS, and not codes (where there are a lot of difficulties and nuances that must be taken into account for successful activation), there should in principle be no problems, because everything is ready and nothing needs to be done ...

Pringles French Onion Dip 5.9oz (168g)
Pringles isn't just a snack. It's a way of life. Kick convention to the curb & embrace your playful spirit. The French Onion seasoning added to these tortilla chips gives them mouth-watering taste whether you dip 'em or don't. The flavoursome crunch of these chips in the celebrated Pringles shape makes them a great snack for handing around at a party. Once you pop - you can't stop! This Super Stack canister means there's more to go around.
Imported from the USA.
Due to atmospheric pressure changes between the manufacturing plant in the United States and throughout the shipping process to our warehouse in the United Kingdom, Pringles tubes may bend slightly inwards. Although it may appear as if the can has been dented, it has not. The Pringles inside the tube will not be damaged. It is normal for the tube to rattle, or for 1 or 2 chips from the top or bottom of the stack to be cracked. Although this does not affect every single tube, it does affect the majority. If you require a perfect tube for collection or gift purposes we recommend that you do not purchase this product. We will not refund or replace any bent or "dented" tubes.
Oh no! This product is out of stock!Pringles

Orchestra to perform fall concert Oct. 18
October 17, 2018
The orchestra program's first concert of the year will be in the high school auditorium Thursday, Oct. 18, starting at 6:30 p.m.
In addition to the full orchestra, the stage's musicians at this fall concert will include senior Alejandra Maldonado and sophomore Warren Tseng, who advanced at the Region 24 All-Region Orchestra auditions.
"Region is the first step for a high school musician to pass to All-State," orchestra teacher Ronald Planks said. "We have 'All-Region', then we have 'All-Area', and then we have 'All-State', which is a meeting of the absolute best players in the state of Texas."
Maldonado has a seat in the "Philharmonic Orchestra," playing the violin, and Tseng is the first alternate for the "String Orchestra," playing the cello.
"In my division, about 100 tried out and only 16 players were selected for chairs, and only a few more were selected as alternates," Tseng said. "With Plano and Frisco players, Region 24 becomes an extremely competitive region. It is very hard for smaller school districts like Prosper and Little Elm to beat players from the two dominating giants and make it into the Region 24 Orchestra."
Planks said the upcoming concert will be different than previous ones.
"With Dr. Burdett's support, we have a harp player this year," Planks said. "In my opinion, when you add harp, it elevates the orchestra to another level."
Now that the orchestra program has a classroom to practice in, Planks said students feel like they have a home now.
"It's not just about the music, but about the bonds and friendships we share as an orchestra," Tseng said. "We are really just one big family, and we all do our best to provide the most quality music to play for the community."

News Briefs From Across The State
By Monica Land
Elderly woman killed in fire
A 36-year-old Purvis man has been charged with murder and first-degree arson following a fatal house fire on Monday, May 13.
Lamar County Sheriff Danny Rigel tells The Hattiesburg American Timothy Taylor was taken into custody for investigation on suspicion of arson. He says Taylor was picked up in Purvis late Monday night, charged with arson after his arrest, then with murder on Tuesday.
Emergency Management Director James Smith says after the fire was put out, they found human remains inside the home.
Rigel says the cause of death and a confirmed identity on the victim are both unknown pending autopsy. The victim was described only as an elderly woman.
Oxygen tanks in the home exploded during the fire, authorities said.
He said Lamar County Justice Court Judge Bill Anderson denied bond on both charges. Taylor is being held in the Lamar County Jail.
Dems work on Miss. Medicaid expansion proposal
Mississippi legislative Democrats say they're working on proposals to keep Medicaid alive and funded in the budget year that starts July 1.
They say they're doing this in case Republican Gov. Phil Bryant calls a special session before the end of June.
However, Bryant said last week he believes he can run Medicaid without legislative authorization – even with no budget in place.
House Democratic Leader Bobby Moak says there's new urgency because a federal agency on Monday released proposed rules for how it would reduce Medicaid payments to hospitals that treat large numbers of uninsured patients. If the rules are adopted, changes could start taking effect in a few months.
Mississippi hospital leaders worry they'll still face large numbers of patients who don't have private insurance or Medicaid.
Port of Pascagoula approves $1.5M dredging project
Port of Pascagoula commissioners have approved a $1.5 million dredging project to prepare a Bayou Casotte berth for a specialized wood pellet exporting facility.
The board awarded the $1.47 million contract to C. F. Bean LLC for the dredging, testing, transporting and disposing of about 45,000 cubic yards of silts around Terminals E and F.
Port Director Mark McAndrews tells The Mississippi Press the contract is higher than typical because there is a chance of contaminants that will need special handling.
Any contaminated sediments will be trucked to the MacLand Disposal Center, a certified landfill, and any clean materials will be placed at the former International Paper Co. mill site.
The dredging work is being funded through the port's harbor maintenance fund.
Tupelo Furniture Market moves spring market to January
The spring Tupelo Furniture Market, originally scheduled for mid-February, will now be held Jan. 16-19.
TFM president Kevin Seddon tells the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal that the move means the Tupelo date also will be bracketed by the Atlanta International Gift and Home Furnishings Market (Jan. 8-15) and the Dallas Total Home and Gift Market (Jan. 15-21).
Exhibitors will have to decide on which markets to attend.
Seddon says he expects to lose some of those exhibitors.
However, many exhibitors and buyers have said they've been missing out on the lucrative tax season with the February dates.
Seddon says the market felt because of tax season, it had to get out in front of it to benefit as many exhibitors and buyers as possible.
BancorpSouth offering early retirement
BancorpSouth Inc., the parent of BancorpSouth Bank, is offering a voluntary early retirement package to employees age 60 and over with 10 consecutive years of experience with the company.
BancorpSouth spokesman Randy Burchfield says in a statement that the company does not know how many employees might accept the package. He says the company is not releasing details on what is being offered.
BancorpSouth employs about 4,200 employees at more than 270 locations in eight states.
In April, BancorpSouth said profit fell in the first quarter as lower interest rates cut into its income.
The bank said profit fell to $20.8 million, or 22 cents per share, in the quarter that ended March 31. That's down about 9 percent from the same three months of 2012.

Going Here Six Key Training Habits to keep in mind to Maximize your Results.
Throughout my years of being in the fitness industry, I have learned that in order to maximise your results you need to have a plan that will help you during your journey. That plan will consits of everything regarding your work outs, sets, reps and minutes of rest between sets and exercises that you will be performing and that's how I started my journey, by being hungry and passionate to become better and improve my physique day in and day out that I step into the gym – By the title you of this blog you might be wondering what do you mean by training habits?. Believe it or not, we all have habits that we do before, during and after training, as I call it "Plan of action". I will be discussing certain training habits that you should keep in mind for effective training before and during your work outs that will help you achieve results, be productive and most of all stay on track of your game plan when it comes to training.
can you buy Keppra online Habit # 1 – Being Prepared: Preparation leads to success, my number one advice for you it's to always be prepared for your work outs. Have your gear ready and everything you need for your work outs ready to go, this principles will help you stay on track and when gym times comes you have everything settled to head over to the gym, as times may occur that you are looking for certain stuff and as the clocks ticks it gets late to train and you may have missed a day of training.
sysprep a rencontré une erreur grave Habit # 2 – Work Out Alternatives: They are times when you make it into the gym and you don't have enough time to train either because the gym is crowded or because certain machines are in use. Always have a http://yolhaberi.com/37236-dte63747-dating-parker-45-flighter.html "back up" work out planned in advanced just as good as your primary work out for that particular day. It will prevent you from waisting time, standing around doing nothing & waiting for a machine to open up. A variety of training methods you can do, cardio vascular (Aerobics) , high intensity, cardio, ab's circuits, write your work outs a night before so you know what to do when you step into the gym.
Habit # 3 – Knowing your training regime: Knowing your work out regime is very important, the amount of reps, sets and exercises that you will be doing. Most important knowing the difference when doing heavy weight, light weight, drop sets or supersets. Each regime has a particular way of doing it, the right way. Focus on your techinique in each rep you do, and remember, a lot of weight isn't always better, work your way up slowly and the strenght will come, that's why having a training book will help keep you on track of your work outs you do everyday.
Habit # 4 – Staying focused, pushing harder and being smart: Staying focused during your training is critical when walking into the gym, block all the distractions, this will help you stay focused and avoid talking to people because the gym isn't a place to socialize, as some have the tendency to just talk and not train, get in the zone and start pumping iron. Furtheremore, remember if you wan't to achieve results, you must push yourself harder each day you step into the gym, change your routines every 2 weeks to avoid hitting a plateau, increase the weights, the reps, sets, and switch all exercises, shocking your body with new routines is a tremendous way to obtain the body of your dreams. However, it's recommended to take at least 1-2 days off from the gym, be smart and take care of your body, let it recoup from the intense training you put it through as it will help you avoid injuries of any kind.
Habit # 5 – Finding the time to train: We all have a certain time to train that works best for us, sometimes we aren't able to make it at that time because something might get between your training. Plan ahead on your schedule a time that you will be able to train, we all know that 5-6 o'clock in the afternoon it's prime time at the gym, crowded, machine after machine taken and it delay us from our training, if you know that happens to you, train at another time when the gym is quiet and calm, you won't be standing around and waisting time. Remember make use of your time when you are going to train, time waste it's time that you could be working on your body.
Habit # 6 – Nutrition & Supplementation: Nutrition and supplementation, enough said. The two most important factors in your overall journey on reaching the body of your dreams. Depending your plan of action either loosing weight, gaining mass or shredding, you need to have a concrete nutrition plan for your particular goal, following your plan will get you keep you consistent between your training and diet, a few facts to always watch during your diet (Calories, Carbs, Fats & Protein) each plays a big roll and make sure you stay on top of those.
Moving into supplementation, some people have the tendency to think supplements are everything and they will help them achieve their goals "faster", believe it or not it won't, supplements are use to "supplement" your diet and receive those "extra nutrients" we don't get from our food.
Supplements I recommend to take: These are some of the primary supplements to have on your stack, they can be used during your work out, post work out and upon waking.
• BCCA'S / Glutamine • Protein • Multi-vitaimin
I hope this blog posting has been helpful to you and informative, remember these are some of the most important training habits to keep in mind that will help you obtain results, stay on track and reach the body of your dreams. If you have the passion, determination, and consistencty everything else will follow. Time for you to put them to use and execute.
