Seeking an affair in Jacksonville, AR, 72076
Lonely wifes seeking affairs
Looking for a teddy bear 31yr (Jacksonville, 72076 , Pulaski County)
Saturday afternoon and I'm slowly awakening after a long night. And looking over my evening I realize just how much more I want. Dancing and drinks is great but I want more. I want one man who thinks I'm special. Someone who wants me to just be his. I'm not into casual sex or FWB. I can find that anywhere. I'm looking for a man who's open to at least considering a LTR. I don't want to rush into anything of course but I also don't want to invest time with someone who's only interested in casual dating or trying to get me into bed. Please don't waste my time or yours if that's all you want. I'm a 31 year old woman . I'm born and raised in New York. Physically, I guess you could call me a BBW or thick or full-figured. I'm 5'7'' and am biracial. Single and never been married without children. I have my BA in sociology and I'm in school part-time for my MSW. I work for the governemtn.... not exciting but it pays the bills. As for sense of humor I've been accused of being a bit sarcastic. As for interests, I love to read, go to plays, movies and just take advantage of the different opportunities New York presents. A couple times a month I do still go out and party but other than that I'm a pretty low-key person. I'm looking for someone intelligent and independent. Personality and intelligence matters a lot more to me than physical appearance. Though, I admit I do have my preferences. I like average to larger men aka cuddly teddy bears. If you've this far and decide to respond, please be sincere in your message. I'm probably not going to answer the boiler plate responses or the one line stats or those that are photos only. I do have pictures but I'd like to actually email a few times first so that my photos aren't just floating throughout cyberspace.

If you have been reading the blog for more than a hot minute, remember this?
Hello throwback Tuesday.
This was my original butler's pantry at the farmhouse.
It was amazing.
An entire room devoted to milk glass and chalkboards and numbered baskets.
There was even a sliding barn door.
So when we moved back to Texas to the house that I grew up in, I knew I needed a butler's pantry, I just had to carve out a place to put it.
And today? I'm going to show you how I organize it. My incredible friend Leslie and I are organizing our houses one room and one day at a time and we are bringing you along for the journey.
Here's what my butler's pantry looks like now.
Here's my smaller version of the butler's pantry at the farmhouse.
It has a smaller barn door.
But there are baskets.
And milk glass.
And a chalkboard.
If you have a butler's pantry in your home (or a space you use to store all your dishes) here are a few ideas I've used through the years to organize the space.
storage ideas for the butler's pantry
1. Baskets
They are the best deal. They come in a set of four baskets for only $22. The baskets are roomy and sturdy and the prettiest color. I love the color of these baskets against the peppercorn.
Here's what I'm using these rustic baskets to organize:
- coffee and tea for the coffee station
- trash bags and freezer bags
- mason jars
- extra plastic bags from the grocery store
- extra paper goods for parties
I also use one to hold the dog bowls for Buddy's food and water. The dog bowls fit perfectly inside the bottom and it's a great way to prevent that shelf from getting dirty.
2. how to organize shelving
Do you have open shelving or glass-front cabinets in your home?
There's no place for clutter to hide.
If you don't know where to start, I have the best ideas for you.
Here's how to style and organize cabinets or open shelving.
3. How to hide the trash can
This mini barn door is the perfect way to hide the trash can and keep everything organized.
It slides over to hide the trash can.
And then?
When you need to use the trash can, you just slide it open.
We are also adding a small trash can with a lid here to keep everything we are adding to the composter.
4. Glass canisters
These glass canisters are the perfect way to store loose items in the space. They come in different sizes and they are super affordable.
I have them over on the butler's pantry side of the laundry room.
Here are a few of the items that I store in them:
- tea packets
- coffee filters
- hot chocolate packets
- popcorn packets (next to the microwave)
- granola bars
5. Laundry containers
Okay, so this butler's pantry has a laundry side, too and since we aren't talking about laundry rooms as one of our spaces, I'd thought I'd briefly discuss it here. For starters, have you seen these vintage-looking laundry containers?
They are the CUTEST.
There are several different styles and they are going FAST, so get them while they are available.
The smaller size has different care instructions on the front and the larger size comes with the cutest scoop.
I also used three baskets in the built-ins between the washer and dryer. We had this unit built in the laundry area to keep the washer and dryer level and to provide additional storage for this space.
I added baskets with three compartments.
Here's what I have stored in here:
- extra props for photoshoots
- extra vases for table settings
- picture hangers and picture easels
6. faux built-in plate rack
When we remodeled the butler's pantry at the farmhouse, I kept waving around a picture of a plate display rack that was all built-in with these amazing rod dowels and looked like something that they have in an English manor house with a butler who polishes the silver and prepares cucumber sandwiches without the crust for tea.
But we didn't have an English manor house budget.
We had a yard sale budget.
You know, the kind of budget you have to get creative with.
Meet creative budget.
I found these extra tall plate display racks for only $7.99.
I painted them white and stacked them end to end so they look built in.
They are so much easier to clean and tall enough to give the illusion of a built-in plate rack for 1/900 of the price.
I said it yesterday and I'll say it again.
Organization doesn't have to be fancy.
Organization doesn't have to be overwhelming.
Organization can be done a little at a time and a minute at a time.
Just pick your minute and begin.
Rome wasn't organized in a day….
….and your house doesn't have to be either.
And now?
For more butler pantry organizing ideas, be sure and stop by my friend Leslie's.
PS I just put together a laundry room board for us over on Pinterest.

BALTIMORE, MD (January 31, 2018) – Maryland Attorney General Brian E. Frosh announced today that Tyrayah Shonita Graham, 23; Donna Leurine Moye, 39; Lisa Marie Williams, 54; Lyric Taj McLaughlin, 21; and Tiara Kianna Baker, 19, have all been indicted in connection with an organized retail theft ring. The indictments charge the women with conspiracy to commit a theft scheme with a value of $100,000 or more from January 2017 to th present. Moye and Williams are also charged with theft scheme of $100,000 or more, and with selling and possessing counterfeit goods.
The women allegedly targeted retailers of clothing and accessories such as Dick's Sporting Goods, Victoria's Secret and Pink. Members of the conspiracy would enter a store together, select large quantities of merchandise from store displays and conceal the items in bags brought into the store with them, then exit the store without paying. Images of the stolen goods were then posted on Instagram to advertise the items. The theft ring allegedly stole items from stores located in several Maryland counties including Charles, Montgomery, Anne Arundel, Baltimore and Harford.
"These individuals stole thousands of dollars' worth of merchandise through an organized operation and then advertised for sale the stolen goods on the Internet," said Attorney General Frosh.
"Working with our partners, we were able to shut down this ring and hold the thieves accountable."
A criminal charge is merely an accusation of wrongdoing and the defendant is presumed innocent unless the State proves guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
The case is being prosecuted jointly by the Maryland Attorney General's Office and the State Prosecutor's Office through the Attorney General Fraud and Corruption Task Force. In making
today's announcement, Attorney General Frosh thanked all the agencies that assisted in the investigation of this case including the Anne Arundel County State's Attorney's Office, the Baltimore County State's Attorney's Office, the Montgomery County State's Attorney's Office, Maryland State Police, the Baltimore City Sheriff, the Baltimore County Police Department and
the Montgomery County Police Department.

When it comes to your small business, does it appear like you're treading water progressing towards your goals? Of course, every entrepreneur wants to have a profitable and successful business, but how to get there is not always clear. Indeed, times have changed and it's of the essence for any business to adapt to the latest tech developments fast.
If you may have noticed, iPhone apps and other mobile apps are taking the world by storm. Furthermore, the majority of business persons who are forward-thinkers are taking advantage of the mobile apps phenomenon to boost their business further. Moreover, the mobile app development field is exploding.
Android app development and iOS app development continue to grow; despite the health crisis the world is facing nowadays. Businesses today could make an amazing business based on an application. If you want your brand to be more profitable than ever, then a mobile app could greatly help you.
How should you monetize the use of mobile apps? In what ways would you use apps better to give you're a competitive edge? The following are tips that help you grow your brand by leaps and bounds and stay ahead of the competition.
The key to drawing more customers is by providing value since business is all about reciprocation. You would want your customers to grow their interaction with your brand and for that, you should offer a level of value that they could not get somewhere else. A great way of doing this is making a loyalty program within your application.
How does this kind of app work in your favor? For instance, a mobile app that means the more customers engage with your brand, the more points they collect could help encourage more customer interaction, particularly if the points could add up to free items or discounts.
To make your app very effective, consider surveying your customers to determine the rewards that they prefer. This will not only enable you to gain valuable information to improve your brand and your offerings but also would make your customers feel more appreciated, which could greatly help boost engagement and revenue. Furthermore, to promote your app in the first place, you have to send your customer an app link that's easy and simple.
You have to manage your assets and finances accurately if you want to sustain it for a long time. In your internal business mobile app, you can have an asset management feature that could be very handy for your company when it comes to helping you effectively manage your finances.
For instance, some features offer tracking of your payment and expense, invoicing, receipt scanning, and so on. The feature could enable you to easily manage and update your assets on the go. You could get the most out of your limited resources at hand.
By managing your assets properly, you can be sure that nothing remains idle for long, and nothing will go missing. Additionally, you could associate appointments, tasks, notes, reminders, checklists, and so on.
In this world of rapid growth and increasing visibility demands, creating a healthy customer relationship has become spectacularly important for every business. Thus, for faster sales, you could have a mobile customer relationship management application developed by your mobile app development company partner like eTatvaSoft. A proper CRM system is paramount in today's extremely competitive age.
A mobile customer relationship management app is very efficient since it provides access to critical information at your fingertips, anytime, anywhere. Moreover, it's a terrific tool to simplify the management of your business contacts. With the help of a CRM app, you could integrate various information in terms of your prospects, customers, and leads, all in one place.
As a startup, you should not overlook the relevance of social media. Through the years, it has become an important factor for the success of a small business. 8 out of 10 small and medium-sized brands prefer social media as their marketing channel.
Thus, you require an app that enables customers to reach you all the time. You need to sync your app to your Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and other social media accounts. By doing this, you could have a clear mileage on your marketing efforts and your overall growth story.
The social media integration in apps trend has recently picked up and proving to be a game-changer. Meaning that now there are a lot of extensions that could integrate your app to your social media channels. Social media integration furthermore provides features, including all social media accounts all-in-views, keyword monitoring and listening, ways of engaging with others, and further analysis and recommendations—all are beneficial for a startup.
Easily, you can target your major consumers with time-sensitive and location-specific features in your mobile application. By integrating the geo-location technology into your mobile app, you'll be able to send your customers close to your physical stores' special offers.
With this approach, you can cut your expenses, narrow down your focus, and deliver targeted ads to your customers at the right place and time. Moreover, you can display deals and coupons to nearby prospective users or help them find your brand by directly advertising on a map.
For instance, if you own a restaurant, you could boost loyalty via your app by sending your customers who have not been around for the past months with special offers.
A strong brand presence, as you know is extremely critical for business growth. If correctly designed, your app could be a cost-effective and powerful branding tool for your small business or startup. One of the most important things that your mobile app offers to the target customers is communication and awareness of your brand.
The regular engagement and interaction with your customers help in fostering credibility and trust. The logic is pretty straightforward. The more customers trust you, then the more likely they could be poked through your sales funnel. With an interactive application, you could demonstrate to your users why exactly they should trust. you.
For this, you have to create a 'splash page', which provides users with critical information on how the app will behave. With a properly written and well-designed splash page, you demonstrate to your users what your business stands for and how you could help your consumers.
A mobile app is a terrific marketing tool that businesses of all shapes and sizes need to get ahead of the competition. We live in a digitally smart world, and more than 80 percent of people who have mobile phones and devices look for products and services through the web. Of the 80 percent, 27 percent of mobile apps searches are connected to the service or products that they want to acquire.
The continuous technology evolution has greatly affected people's day-to-day lives. And with the continuous change comes a drastic change in how they shop for products and services. The internet has made shopping for just about anything that people need convenient, easy, and fast.
For your brand to thrive and stay on the competitive edge all the time, a mobile app is a great investment to help your business grow and expand.
A business mobile app has a big potential of changing the fortunes of a small business or a startup. If you have not yet launched your business mobile app, then it's high time you do.
Whether it's finding accurate prayer timings, Qibla directions, Reading and Listening to the Holy Quran, or Dhikr and Duas – there is an application for it all! The mobile application industry is a million-dollar industry that Muslims all around the ...
You may have asked this question more than once, and nobody doubts that having a web page is essential, but we are in a time of change, in which users have decided to integrate much of their technology in smartphones and tablets. Nowadays most of the information ...

Roll Bounce, Malcolm D. Lee's rambunctiously entertaining coming-of-age dramedy about a teen rollerskating clique in 1970s Chicago, doesn't open with Vaughan Mason & Crew's "Bounce, Rock, Skate, Roll," the infectious 1979 hit from which it cribbed its title — and the rollerskating anthem to end all rollerskating anthems, a track that's monster bassline might very well have the potency to propel motion itself.
Instead those honors go to Parliament's 1977 funk classic "Flash Light," the Afro-picked Xavier "X" Smith (Bow Wow, three years removed from dropping the "Lil'") singing over George Clinton and company's regal roars while (imagining himself) doing a solo skate-dance routine in a hollowed out rink.
You have to wait a minute or two, once X snaps back to reality, for Vaughan Mason & Crew to enter the rotation — Roll Bounce spinning two of the greatest songs of the '70s (the latter via Wayne Brady's DJ Johnny Feelgood) while the opening credits are still rolling to X and crew zipping around the now-populated rink with style and finesse.
It's fitting foreshadowing for all the neck-snapping needle drops to come in Roll Bounce (which turns 15 today), an underrated gem that at least belongs in the same conversation as films like American Graffiti and Dazed and Confused when looking back at the best nostalgia-soaked teen period pieces.
While George Lucas's American Graffiti (1973) explored early-'60s cruising and Richard Linklater's Dazed and Confused (1993) looked at bicentennial stoners, Lee's Roll Bounce — written by Norman Vance Jr. — captures the essence of rollerskating culture (particularly Black rollerskating culture) in the late '70s.
When their go-to Palisades Garden rink is shuttered during the summer, X and trash-talking friends Junior (Brandon T. Jackson), Naps (Rick Gonzalez), Mixed Mike (Khleo Thomas) and Boo (Marcus T. Paulk) — along with neighborhood newbie Tori (Jurnee Smollett-Bell before she had the Bell) — leave Chi-town's South Side for the boujeeier uptown skating center Sweetwater. There they take on the so-cool-he-can-make-your-little-sister-faint Sweetness (Wesley Jonathan) and his Sweetwater Rollers for roller-disco bragging rights.
And like in many a coming-of-age classic, the music is essential.
There's Bill Withers' all-time feel-good ballad "Lovely Day" setting the scene as X glides through his sun-soaked neighborhood on his paper route, hilariously misfiring every edition until he's bombarded by a gang of water-balloon-packing youngins.
Donna Summer's "Love To Love You Baby" epitomizes X's thirst as he watches his school boy crush Naomi (Meagan Good) down a can Pepsi in slow-mo. The Commodores' "Easy" mellows as she later asks him out.
Sweetness wrecks a solo to KC and the Sunshine Band's "I'm Your Boogie Man." The Hues Corporations' "Rock the Boat" blares as Junior gets pantsed mid-stride.
Donny Hathaway's "For All We Know" soothes over a montage when things turn sober. Average White Band's "Pick Up the Pieces" kicks off the climactic split-screened skating contest. The ultimate needle drop, Kool & the Gang's "Hollywood Swinging," lands as The Garden Boys challenge The Sweetness Rollers for the crown. The Ohio Players' "Fire" heats up the tie-breaking showdown between X and Sweetness. Sister Sledge's "He's the Greatest Dancer" swings as X tries to put the final dagger in.
The timestamps weren't necessarily all authentic. Keith Sweat's "I Wanna Know Your Name" drips out as X's new neighbor — Tori's mother Vivian (Kellita Smith) — turns up across the street in MILF mode, but Sweat had barely begun making music in the '70s and recorded this one specifically for the soundtrack; Beyoncé and Michelle Williams also lent songs to the soundtrack. But the vibes still felt vintage.
Music is also played for laughs.
The Bee Gees? "Sounds like like something my cousin caught from his girlfriend," Junior cracks when The Garden Boys first arrive at the disco-friendlier Sweetwater on the North Side. It's only right that a movie set during the intersection of soul and disco take aim at the genre that would be outlasted.
One of the biggest wonders watching Roll Bounce, though, is how exactly they managed to practically encapsulate the funk, soul and disco movements of the '70s on a reported $10 million budget… for the entire production. Beyond the artists already mentioned, you had cuts by Earth, Wind & Fire, Chaka Khan, The Sylvers, Foxy, Chic, Eddie Money and Johnny "Guitar" Watson.
How in the world did the music licensing team pull that off? Plus they still had to pay Nick Cannon, who, oddly enough shared top billing with Bow Wow on the film (must've been that Drumline bump) despite screen time that amounted to a glorified cameo as Sweetwater's oddball skate renter.
In the immortal vernacular of The Garden Boys, there's but one word to describe the superiority of Roll Bounce's funk-and-disco-laced sounds, and how perfectly they were put to use by Lee: "DAAAAAMN!"

Dr. Sanderson explains if chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a new diagnosis.
Dr. Sanderson:
Well COPD has been with us for, for many years but it certainly is getting more attention as it is a leading cause of disability for elder, for older individuals and certainly needs to be focused on more in the public health community because it is largely preventable if we can keep children from starting smoking and educate all smokers about the hazards and help them to give up smoking.

In the latest development in the Tanushree Dutta sexual harassment case, the police have not found any evidence against accused; magistrate court classifies the case as maliciously false
Tanushree Dutta
Bollywood actor Nana Patekar can probably heave a sigh of relief as the Oshiwara Police has filed a B Summary case (where there is no evidence or prima facie case against the accused) in connection with actress Tanushree Dutta's sexual harassment case in Andheri court today. The magistrate has also classified the case as maliciously false. The definition of Summary B report is cancellation report i.e the police have not gathered any evidence against the accused to file a charge sheet and seek a trial.
Shailesh Pasalwar, senior inspector at Oshiwara police station confirmed the fresh development in the case and said, "The B Summary report has been submitted before the concerned court." Last month mid-day had reported that the 12 to 15 witnesses statement recorded in the matter does not support Tanushree Datta's case, and the cops were completely helpless to get evidence in the matter.
"I have not received any official information from Oshiwara police station about the classification of offence (Summary Report) from police on behalf of Tanushree Dutta. If the police files any B or C classification of the summary report, it cannot be considered as the final report. We can oppose before the court and after the hearing, if the court is satisfied then again it can instruct the police to reinvestigation the case. Police acted negligently to protect Nana Patekar, many witnesses statements are not yet recorded, and the police have not investigated the case thoroughly so we are opposing summary reports and considering to file a writ petition before Bombay High Court", stated advocate Nitin Satpute. Tanushree Dutta stated she was not "surprised" and slammed the police report.
In September last year, Tanushree Dutta alleged that Nana Patekar misbehaved with her on the set of Horn Ok Pleassss in 2008 while shooting for a special dance number. A case was registered against Patekar and three others at Oshiwara police station, which include choreographer Ganesh Acharya, producer Samee Siddique and director Rakesh Sarang, under sections 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty) and 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) of the IPC.

According to sources, Oshiwara police have recorded the statements of more than 12 witnesses, including actress Daisy Shah, but none support Dutta's version of events. "The investigation is in process and at a very crucial stage," said an officer on the condition of anonymity.
Lawyer speaks: At a press meet, Dutta's lawyer Nitin Satpute said, "The cops are only recording the statements of those favouring Nana Patekar. There are four witnesses, who know the truth, but their statements are yet to be recorded. Hair Dresser Aliza , Wasim, Mir and seven other witnesses statements were not recorded. I am going to release an audio clip of one of the witnesses soon to prove how they are being pressured by Nana and his people." Satpute has also demanded a narco test of the witnesses.

I. Ocean Beach at sunset is pretty perfect. The girls had never been on a California beach before, so of course they were overjoyed when they could play in the waves for hours and "not get hypothermia". As the sun went down, I was content to sit on the shore and watch them, breathing deeply of the salty air and letting every tension melt into the sand. Continue reading "august 26 . 2016"

Sweet and tart raspberry hard candy/starburst with fresh grapefruit and hints of liquorice/salmiac candy powder (I know, right?)
It's freaking aawweessoommeeee I tell ya.
CAP Creamy Yogurt / FA Marshmallow - just wanted some candy sweetness and creaminess without any custard/vanilla notes. Success.
INW Grapefruit - Very potent and authentic white grapefruit. Any more than 0.5% and it gets too realistically pithy and bitter, here it's sweet and fresh.
TPA Raspberry (Sweet) - Gives flavour-popping tartness and of course, sweet candy raspberry
FA Caramel - As a dark, candyish sweetener
Shake and vape. That's it.

Penton Motor Group has said that it will commence plans to develop a £2.5 million "retail hub" when coronavirus lockdown measures are eased.
The Wiltshire-based new and used car retail group, which represents Vauxhall, Citroen, Peugeot and DS Automobiles across Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire, is hoping to expand its commercial propoerty portfolio with the creation of the facility in Stony Lane, Christchurch.
A statement issued by the £60 million turnover group said that it had built four new showrooms for its franchised motor business and renovated a further three separate investment buildings over the past eight years
Commenting on the new venture into commercial property development, it added: "This is a new direction for the long-established Wilson family business, which has locations in Christchurch, Poole, Andover and Salisbury, to develop a ground-up commercial investment property other than for its own use."
Penton Group managing director, Robert Wilson, said: "This new development demonstrates our confidence in the commercial property sector and the Christchurch area.
"With the possible creation of 30 jobs, it represents a significant boost for the local economy and regeneration of a disused brownfield site.
"It is an exciting circa £2.5m investment for our business, on which we can use our expertise and experience in showrooms and service centre development to expand further into the commercial property market."
Described by the group as "a trading hub for businesses", the new development – to be known as Penton Business Park – will be built on the disused former site of Boyland Joinery.
Penton's plans will create five units measuring between 4,000sq-ft, and 12,000sq-ft which could house a trade counter, light industrial and possible gym uses with parking for 50 vehicles.
Fellow Christchurch firm John Reid & Sons Ltd (REIDsteel) has designed and manufactured the steel frames, decking, cladding, glazing and doors for the project.
Penton's statement claimed that leading national chains had already taken space in the development, with up to 12,000sq-ft remaining available.
Wilson said: "We all look forward to seeing this development progress as soon as conditions allow."

Dressing for a summer wedding / post-pregnancy.
Updated: Dec 3, 2019
So my cousin got married in Coral Gables over the summer of 2018 (a few months after I had Santiago), and he asked me to SPEAK at his wedding! My cousin and his now-wife are such a beautiful and inspiring couple, and it was a huge honor to be one of the three speakers at their wedding.
Well, I was totally nervous about speaking in front of all of their guests. I had prepared my speech on paper and knew most of my main talking points by heart, so I was set... for the most part. But I know that there is a lot that can contribute to a person's confidence, and for me... I know that "looking my best," would go a long way - especially since it was the first time I would see many of my family members and friends since I had my first son.
I splurged and got my hair and makeup done by my awesome MUA - Renata, and I opted for a black/floral Monique Lhuillier dress (which covered my little post-baby belly, which I'm working on!) that I rented from Rent The Runway, with Stuart Weitzman heels, and gold-plated hoop earrings from my fave boutique in Miami, Studio LX.
I felt totally glamorous, and I think I did pretty well with my speech. It was definitely a night to remember!
And Santiago did GREAT on his first proper outing. I got his outfit on Amazon.
Here are my tips for getting the right look and having the best experience on your special night out, post baby:
Comfort is the most important thing. If you're not comfortable, you'll fidget all night which is likely to make you look insecure, whether or not you actually are. Who likes to fidget anyway? Well... maybe your baby does. ;)
Are you still nursing? If you are, make sure to wear something that will allow for easy access. Also, if you prefer to nurse in private, it might be a good idea to call the venue to see if they have a nursing room for your comfort. If you prefer to nurse anytime, any place - go for it! There is NO SHAME in nursing in public. Just keep this in mind when you are selecting your wardrobe.
Highlight your assets, hide your flaws. For me, that meant I had to have a dress I could wear a bra with (which would preferably hide my breasts completely). I was open to highlighting my arms (all those years of gymnastics made me proud!). This ML dress also cinched at the waist and was flowy around the belly and all the way down. This created an illusion of having a smaller waist and wider hips... which I welcomed, considering the fact that my figure is more athletic/straight/boxy.
It is widely considered that darker colors are more slimming. I will agree with this forever. When in doubt, wear black! Trying to be stylish? Wear black! I love, love, LOVE wearing black. But what about if it's a summer wedding? If you must, or simply feel like it... add a little color here and there, and you're good to go. That's why I absolutely loved this dress - it was black with small pops of color. Also good - one solid color head to toe.
Pamper yourself by spending the extra time on your hair and makeup. Watch that tutorial, ask that friend for a tried and trusted tip, or splurge and treat yourself to a pro job. It will be worth it. Use a primer! (But OMG how do I do this with my baby in tow?! It's your SO's turn to handle the babe. Or a relative. Or a friend. Mom friends usually understand this need... if you have a mom friend, don't be afraid... ask her to come over for an hour or two to help you while you get ready. My mom friends have saved my A*S on several occasions already. Thank goodness for mom friends).
Do your hair and makeup, but don't OVERDO it!
It's not about impressing other people. It's about empowering yourself to feel and look your best - on your terms.
Have fun, let loose a little, and enjoy the night out playing dress up. Because HAPPY women are the prettiest, and you deserve to have an awesome night! (Look... I HATE when people say sh*t like, "you should smile more often, you're so pretty. If only you'd smile." Barf. But really... I have found that "faking it till I make it" actually makes me feel better. When I've "faked" happy, I found myself actually feeling happy. IDK. Maybe that's just me.)
Go forth and be a Badass. You got this!

My order to the sky.
I order the sky أمرى للسماء :
I order the sky to create an angle for me.
So you are made at once for me.
So our bodies and spirits became one not two.
My poem is a message from the sky.
And I love and need you and I do not know why
And our hearts live a big love story .
Since Adam and Eve and the first January.
My heart only calls you and writes you.
Because you are my life and my life is you.
And your heart answers my heart calls
Because I easily scored millions goals
I am the only knight who cares you .
I am the word hero who worships you.
I order the sky and you created for me.
From seven kilos apples you are created .
From thee kilos pears your bones are made.
From seven kilos butter your cheeks are produced
From two kilos strawberry your lips are carved
And the fruits of your bodies landed on my
kingdom by Paradise rocket.
And every day I eat you and you your body is being rebuilt .
Since the Christ ,the world have no new miracles except you.
You are created three times a day for me.
After every meal you became a new lady for me.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Smoke and ash from massive wildfires in the American West have clouded the sky and led to air quality alerts on parts of the East Coast.
The effects of the blazes were felt 2,500 miles away Wednesday as haze hung over New York City, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Strong winds are blowing smoke east from California, Oregon, Montana and other states on the opposite end of the country.
The nation's largest wildfire, Oregon's Bootleg Fire, grew to become half the size of Rhode Island.
Fires also burned on both sides of California's Sierra Nevada and in Washington state and other areas of the West.

OPINION: Once again the Academy has spoken.
The roughly 6,000 members of that exclusive industrial club have had their annual votes counted. More members thought 12 Years a Slave a better film than Gravity, and that Jared Leto performed more excellently than Bradley Cooper.
Oi, oi, oi
The Aussie accent was often heard. Chris Hemsworth mumbled his way Thorishly through an award presentation, and three awards came our way (Cate Blanchett for Best Actress in Blue Jasmine, and two to Catherine Martin for Costume Design and Production Design). Cate Blanchett gave the assembled talents of the Sydney Theatre Company a culminating shout-out on the world's biggest stage. And Baz Luhrmann's costume and design team on Gatsby swept those categories. Hollywood is everywhere, big budgets travel, and our talent is caught up intimately in those imperial ebbs and flows.
Coming at the tail end of the awards season, the Oscars are supposed to be definitive, the grown-up verdict bestowed by the biggest film industry on Earth. But do they deliver?
The golden age of Hollywood?
Ask yourself when the US film industry was truly the world standard. You could argue that the 1970s belonged to Hollywood, because the collapse of Big Studio power and the rise of the independents made it the most exciting national industry on the planet.
Prior to that, only the decade 1910-20 is comparable, and since then, well, seriously.
In 2013 the US film industry gave us: Iron Man 3, Despicable Me 2, sequels to Monsters Inc, The Hunger Games and Thor, and the urgent Fast and Furious 6. Each of these masterpieces featured in the box office top ten for the year. None will be remembered in another year's time.
What Hollywood has the most of is money. The Oscars ceremony is the annual spectacle of an industry throwing money at itself in the hope that we don't remember the dross they regularly serve us. The Best Picture nominees are the precious peaks of a truly gargantuan iceberg of garbage; but it is the garbage that pays the bills.
Cinema in the rest of the world
Cinema as an art form has long thrived elsewhere.
The Foreign Language Film category is an open insult, given how vastly world cinema today exceeds American product in quality, intelligence and integrity. China's A Touch of Sin and the Filipino feature Norte, the End of History (neither of them nominated by the hallowed Academy) are both more serious works of art than Gravity or 12 Years a Slave. Most likely you haven't even heard of them.
The best motion picture released last year was miraculously nominated, but inevitably lost its restrictive category of Best Documentary Feature to a more acceptable picture. But then, Oppenheimer's The Act of Killing doesn't belong in the same universe as Captain Philips and Philomena: it belongs with the immortal masterpieces of Sergei Eisenstein, Dziga Vertov and Jean Rouche.
None of this is to say that good films aren't being made in the USA. They are, it is just that the Academy doesn't see them. One of the most remarkable American films in many years had a 2013 release date. Written, directed, produced, scored and acted in by Shane Carruth, the sublime and disturbing Upstream Color made demands of the viewer that nothing on the Academy shortlist can emulate. It earned no nominations.
But we all know this. Knocking the Oscars is a venerable genre of its own. The Academy votes for what it knows, and what it knows is the Academy.
Long ago in another cultural universe, the Royal Academies of the great imperial powers held the same kind of narcissistic conviction in their unshakeable aesthetic orthodoxies. To this day, we cry out in thanks for the salons and societies of independents that broke their monopoly on the business of taste.
The wonder is that we watch their spectacle at all, in the kind of numbers that can crash Twitter because Ellen told us to. But then, we do so for other reasons, more out of camp than conviction.
This year Ellen DeGeneres' excruciating attempts to make the whole affair seem more like an evening in with your best friends (group selfies, twitter games, pizzas, cash collections) only raised the level of obnoxiousness; for what is worse than watching the in-crowd being all insider-y from the outside?
As spectacle, the ceremony tanked completely. It wasn't even embarrassingly bad, it was just awful. What magic there might have been in the fabled once-upon-a-time seems to have been sold off to pay for the nominee gift bags ($8,000 worth of products for each of them).
That said, it was, all told, a good night for people of colour. Juanita Moore was remembered in the especially sad obituary segment (you had the sense that it really was a bad year, as if something irreversible had happened to the industry).
The great Sidney Poitier was wheeled on as an eminence grise to deliver the Best Director award, which didn't go to Steve McQueen after all, but to that wonderful silver fox Mexican Alfonso Cuáron (who spoke Spanish, shock!). John Ridley weirdly didn't thank McQueen in his acceptance speech for Best Adapted Screenplay; but then Will Smith got to present the Best Picture gong to Steve McQueen after all, who dedicated his award to slaves.
Best of all, Lupita Nyong'o took away the statuette for Best Supporting Actress, which she rightly dedicated to the memory of Patsey, the illiterate and brutalised plantation slave she depicted. This was by some margin the highlight of the night, and the only award that actually seemed to mean anything.
Finally, it is worth reflecting: what did the Academy, in its acephalous and distributed wisdom, think that it did best this year? Two things come to mind.
Hollywood thought that it might once and for all have dispelled the legacy of slavery from its bad conscience. And it congratulated itself on pushing through to new levels of technical brilliance in Gravity's apparent conquest over the Newtonian force it was named after.
The first is a delusional wish-fulfilment, bound tohaunt it for all eternity. The second, while true, speaks less to the art of cinema than to the art of illusion. Our collective mistake is to confound these arts. Cinema is a form of truth.

Aton Is Fun for Two Players
Aton is a two-player-only game, based in ancient Egypt, that provides multiple paths to victory. You can win Aton by taking control of an entire temple with your counters, by occupying all of the yellow squares or all the green squares in all four temples, or by scoring 40 points.
Each player gets a deck of 36 cards with values from 1 to 4. At the beginning of each round, you draw four cards, and assign each to one of the four cartouches along the edge of the board by placing each of them face down in one of those "slots".
When both players have finished assigning their cards, they simultaneously turn over the card each placed on his first cartouche. If your card is greater, you score double the difference.
Then compare cards on the second cartouche. This card determines which player gets to play his remaining cards first (lowest number goes first), and how many of his opponent's tokens he can remove. You can remove two of tokens if you play a 4, one for a 3, and zero for a 2. If you played a 1 on your second cartouche, you have to remove one of your own tokens. There are special rules if you play the same number here as your opponent.
The card on your third cartouche determines which temples you can place tokens in and which temples you can remove your opponent's tokens from.
The card on your fourth cartouche determines how many of your tokens you can place that round.
Any removed stones are placed in the Kingdom of the Dead, the 8 spaces along the bottom (in the picture) of the board. If the Kingdom of the Dead is full at the end of the round, a scoring round is triggered. Scoring methods vary from temple to temple.
If neither player reaches 40 points after the scoring round, play continues with another round. If at the end of your turn you have met one of the winning conditions, the game ends.

On the Empirical Content of Quantal Response EquilibriumAuthor(s):
Publication Date: August 2003
Revision Date: August 2006
Pages: 26
The quantal response equilibrium (QRE) notion of McKelvey and Palfrey (1995) has recently attracted considerable attention, due in part to its widely documented ability to rationalize observed behavior in games played by experimental subjects. However, even with strong a priori restrictions on unobservables, QRE imposes no falsifiable restrictions: it can rationalize any distribution of behavior in any normal form game. After demonstrating this, we discuss several approaches to testing QRE under additional maintained assumptions.
Quantal response equilibrium, Falsifiability, Testable restrictions, Regular quantal response equilibrium, Rank-cumulative probabilities, Block-Marschak polynomials

Early local vaccine rollout proves tumultuous
January 27, 2021
The recently inaugurated Biden administration has announced plans to vaccinate at least 100 million people in his first 100 days in office. The administration has even suggested that, if all goes according to plan, they will be able to vaccinate 150 million people. But some are less optimistic.
"I think everybody hopes that the changing of the guard is going to accelerate the process, but ultimately I think we're going to have to wait and see… I think that there's been a bad information transfer between the previous administration and the new administration, and I don't know how quickly a new administration will be able to pick up those pieces and start running," Dr. Laura Frost, a biological sciences professor, said.
The Trump administration fell short of their plan to vaccinate 20 million people before the end of 2020, vaccinating less than 3 million people.
"The rollout has been a dismal failure thus far… let me be clear, things will get worse before they get better," President Biden said in a press briefing.
"There have been significant hiccups," Dr. Frost said. "We were promised adequate supplies, and they were not given. We have a lot to do to get out of this, and communication has been poor. The rollout of the vaccine has not been as smooth as we were promised. We need to vaccinate more people if we want to get out of this."
"I think Biden will do a better job than Trump for COVID things; however vaccination distribution is on a state by state basis, and I am unsure how he will affect distribution," Angela Le, a Pre-Med student at the University of Pittsburgh, said.
The vaccine rollout locally has also been criticized, most notably UPMC's handling of vaccinating medical students at the University of Pittsburgh. UPMC was initially vaccinating employees who had zero patient contact while not vaccinating medical students working in clinics full time. News of this broke through a Reddit post.
"With COVID everywhere, we're left as both potential victims and potential spreaders in the hospital system that obviously values their employees over their patients," the Reddit post said.
Following the post going viral and being picked up by area news organizations, UPMC reversed their decision and announced that they would be vaccinating medical students.
"I think initially Pitt wasn't doing its best effort to vaccinate the students, but, with the recent news, I think they are trying their best," Le said.
Medical students not being vaccinated is not the only controversy coming from UPMC. Multiple people who spoke to The Globe under the pretense of anonymity (to ensure their job security and status with the university) have described what they view as flaws in the current planning.
"I work in a lab in UPMC and all of the lab techs have received the first dose… I have not," one student, who will be identified as Student #1, said. "Lab technicians aren't really a healthcare worker besides the fact that my lab is located in a hospital. It's weird because there are essential workers who are further away in line from the vaccine, and there people who aren't actually heavily exposed are getting it first."
"I have friends in Pharmacy school who are literally administering the vaccine and are not being given it," Student #2 said.
"The Principal Investigator at my lab was telling me how she got vaccinated… all she does is write grants and give Zoom presentations… but she got vaccinated. She told me the process was really easy for her… she just had to show her UPMC card," Student #3 said.
Despite all this, some remain optimistic that Pitt will be able to work things out.
"I think these were initial issues but through Pitt's new program they should be worked out," Student #3 said.
Among other concerns raised regarding vaccine rollout is the growing movement of people who distrust the effectiveness of the vaccines.
"This is the first time that an MRNA vaccine has been approved for emergency use. We don't know the long term effects… but none of these vaccines would get approved if there wasn't significant data backing up the fact that they are safe," Dr. Frost said.
"I think that a lot of people don't really understand how vaccination works," Le said.
"In my mind, I would be first in line for the vaccine, and I believe that it is effective and safe. The best and fastest way to get back to a normal world is to just get the vaccine," Dr. Frost said.

NC Attorney General says he'll shut scams down
October 8, 2018
Attorney General Josh Stein, while visiting the Jacksonville Disaster Recovery Center on Monday, said approximately 800 price gouging complaints have been reported to his office post-Florence.
With the hurricane came hardships for many residents of the 28 affected counties, which include Onslow, Carteret, Craven, Lenoir, Jones, and Duplin. In a press conference held after he checked in on the center's operations, Stein discussed the dangers posed by price gougers and other scams that disasters often give way to.
"What we cannot allow is for that hardship to be compounded by scam artists coming and taking advantage of them," Stein said.
There have been approximately 800 price gouging complaints filed with the Attorney General's office, Stein said. When residents are approached by suspicious tree removal, home repair or persons offering their services with pressure tactics, "they need to be very cautious about doing business with them," according to Stein.
One business, for example, was charging an area woman $3,000 to remove three trees. Stein said his office was able to go after the company because the woman had the transactions in writing.
"Make sure everything is in writing," Stein said.
Stein also warned about paying for assistance sign-ups, such as those provided by FEMA. Signing up for assistance, he said, should never cost money. And if people are suspicious, they should take down the agent's number and check in with the organization that an individual purports to be from.
Onslow County Sheriff's Office Maj. Chris Thomas said there have been five fraud-related reports to the sheriff's office relating to FEMA, but no arrests have been made.
Stein said that his office is going after price gougers.
"When we find scammers, my office takes them to court to shut them down," Stein said.
Both Miller and District Attorney Ernie Lee assured the public they are going after the criminal elements behind the scams.
"We can't tolerate it," Lee said. "People are taking advantage of people that are very much hurt."
Avoid Scams
The Jacksonville Police Department sent out a press release Monday with the following tips for avoiding scams:
- Avoid businesses that are not local
- Be wary of businesses or individuals that come to your door or call your phone offering services
- Be wary of businesses that use high-pressure tactics or try to rush you
- Compare prices before paying for a service and be wary of contractors charging a lot of money for temporary repairs
- Obtain a paper copy of any contract or agreement with the price, schedule, company's information, etc. and keep your receipts
- Contact your insurance company in case you need an adjuster's approval before starting work
- Do not pay in cash and do not pay upfront

HALIFAX — Nova Scotia Liberal Leader Iain Rankin is only committing to review the weak powers of the province's information commissioner but his rivals are promising to give her office some legal teeth.
Advocates for freedom of information have long argued the authority of the commissioner's office is too weak because it lacks so-called "order-making powers."
Those powers would force the public agency to contest the commissioner's decisions in court instead of that burden falling on citizens.
Applicants have had to go though complex and expensive court proceedings in recent years to enforce decisions to release public information.
The NDP and the Progressive Conservatives say that if they are elected in the Aug. 17 election, they will make information commissioner Tricia Ralph an independent officer of the legislature with order-making powers.
Rankin, however, promised Friday to having his justice minister review and modernize the legislation on public information.
Former Liberal premier Stephen McNeil in 2013 had promised to grant the commissioner order-making powers but never fulfilled that pledge, calling it a "mistake."
Rankin said if elected, he's committed to having more "up-to-date legislation that allows easier access to public information."
"What I committed to, which is in the mandate letter to (Justice Minister Randy Delorey), is a full, comprehensive review to legislation that hasn't been amended in decades," he told reporters.
"The review will come out with specific recommendations and we'll accept every one of them."
Tory Leader Tim Houston has tied the issue to an alleged lack of Liberal transparency. He said the Liberal government — unlike other provincial governments — hasn't found a way to allow the legislature to sit during the pandemic or to allow the public accounts committee to fully operate during the health crisis.
"All of these things are stains on this government because they all undercut democracy and every time you undercut democracy you turn people off from democracy," Houston told reporters last week. "People think, 'It just doesn't matter.'"
"A Progressive Conservative government is one that will have the courage to be held accountable by the people," he added. "It is one that will be transparent. That means giving order-making ability to the commissioner."
NDP Leader Gary Burrill says his party would be different from the Liberals on the issue of access to public information.
"We believe in this," he said in an interview on July 26 with The Canadian Press. "We've been saying for a long time that the freedom of information officer should be an officer of the house and that they should have the capacity to make their rulings stick."
In April, a research group studying how jails and federal prisons across the country handled the COVID-19 pandemic singled out Nova Scotia for the poor response of its access to information system.
University of Winnipeg researcher Kevin Walby noted that the projected fees in the province were close to 20 times higher than those in Ontario regarding requests for materials ranging from manuals and policy directives to requests for statistics on prisoner grievances.
Faced with tens of thousands of dollars in fees, Walby abandoned the request in Nova Scotia. He said at the time that even if he would have been successful in obtaining the information about the province's prisons, he might have had to go to court to enforce the decision.
Information commissioner Ralph said at the time that Walby's request would have had to wait "upward of three years" before her office could have dealt with it because of limited resources.
In June 2017, Ralph's predecessor, Catherine Tully, had called for reforms, including to make her position into an independent officer of the legislature, which would have given her office security of tenure and an easier time with budget requests.
She noted at the time Nova Scotia was the only province not to allow its information commissioner that kind of independence. Tully had also argued for order-making powers.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published August 2, 2021.

We've scoured the latest entries for some bigger priced runners who could outrun their odds on Champions Day
QIPCO British Champions Day has once again attracted the big names in it's early entry stage. Names like Ghaiyyath, Magical and Kameko catch the eye, but there are plenty of lesser-known names that stand a great opportunity of taking home a big prize.
We've picked out some dark horses who could make a big splash next month.
WHAT A LINE UP ????— Champions Series (@ChampionsSeries) September 1, 2020
Titans of the turf GHAIYYATH, PALACE PIER and MAGICAL headline 194 superb entries for QIPCO British #ChampionsDay pic.twitter.com/RvvgKeSp8J
Lord North – QIPCO Champion Stakes
The QIPCO Champion Stakes is always a star-studded affair. You only need to take a look at the roll of honour to know that it is going to take a top middle distance performer to land the prize. Cirrus Des Aigles, Farhh, Cracksman, Magical and of course, Frankel have all triumphed in the day's showpiece.
The one that catches the eye is Lord North who is currently priced around 8/1. He's come-of-age this year, rising through the handicap ranks to landing the prestigious Group 1 Prince Of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot this year.
Not only did he win it, he did it in emphatic style, showing an electric turn of foot to scorch away from his rivals. He beat last year's QIPCO Champion Stakes Addeybb convincingly, as well as Group 1 winners Japan and Barney Roy in the process.
PROGRESSIVE!— Champions Series (@ChampionsSeries) June 17, 2020
LORD NORTH is shows a mighty turn of foot to land the G1 Prince Of Wales's Stakes!pic.twitter.com/eiUK3Vz8yo
He wasn't able to show his best last time when third in the Juddmonte International, Ghaiyyath blowing away the field that day. He won't be inconvenienced by the ground on the day having won on surfaces ranging from Good all the way to Heavy. He's certainly one to take seriously.
Safe Voyage – QEII Stakes (Sponsored by QIPCO)
The seven-year-old Safe Voyage has shown no sign of slowing down in 2020, following up a brilliant victory in the City Of York Stakes in August with Group 2 honours at Leopardstown last month.
Another strong showing in last weekend's Group 1 Prix De La Foret where he finished a close third to old adversary One Master, staying on all the way to the line.
In a market dominated by Palace Pier at a shade of odds-on, Safe Voyage stands out as great value at 14/1. He was third in the race last year, so will handle the track and any give in the ground. He looks even better this season so is well placed to go even closer.
Glen Shiel – QIPCO Champions Sprint Stakes
Archie Watson's six-year-old has been in phenomenal form this year, recording three wins and three second place finishes. Most recently he was a brilliant second to Dream Of Dreams and though he went off at 25/1 there was no fluke about the quality of his run.
Super impressive ????— Champions Series (@ChampionsSeries) September 5, 2020
DREAM OF DREAMS looks the finished article as he surges clear to win the Betfair Sprint Cup under @oismurphy!
Now your favourite for the Champions Sprint on #ChampionsDay pic.twitter.com/FGi3KlaoRr
He will be partnered by the rising star of British racing in Hollie Doyle, who'll also be looking to get her first victory on Champions Day.
He has just under a length to find with Dream Of Dreams on the Betfair Sprint Cup form and at the price differences of 5/2 compared to Glen Shiel's 14/1, there's definitely some value.
Manuela De Vega – QIPCO Fillies & Mares Stakes
Ralph Beckett's highly-rated filly has done little wrong this season, notching up convincing Group 2 and Group 3 wins at Haydock by a combined 7 1/2 lengths. She found waters a little hot in the Yorkshire Oaks against the all-conquering Love, eventually finishing fourth.
The QIPCO Fillies & Mares Stakes is wide-open at the moment as trainers decide where to place their horses. Manuela De Vega's only entry is in this race and she will likely take her chance. She's ground versatile having won on grounds ranging from Good to Soft this season. She will likely have to improve once again and prove she's a Group 1 filly, but that's not out of the question and she's an eye-catcher at 14/1 currently given the uncertainty surrounding the market principles.
Stratum – QIPCO Long Distance Cup
Willie Mullins' duel purpose runner re-announced himself as a stayer of substance in this year's Group 2 Lonsdale Cup at York. A brutal test of a race, he was an eye-catching finisher in the final furlong and was closing on his now retired rival Enbihaar at the line.
There's no doubting the former Cesarewitch Handicap winner stamina credentials and it's easy to see why he'd produce another big run at large odds on the biggest stage.

In this research 93% of marketers expect to see marketing spend to increase, what isn't clear is how this compares with the year before.
More importantly what isn't clear is that with the massive change in buyer habits, GDPR changing entirely the way we market and sell; that anything has changed. Or are we throwing more money at the wall and hoping it will stick? Doing the same things and hoping that they work?
In Heidi Taylor's new book "B2B Marketing Strategy: Differentiate, Develop and Deliver Lasting Customer Engagement" she explains the difference between a strategy and a tactic. She also makes the observation, something that I've seen, which is a "plan" is in fact all of the same tactics served up each year. Well it worked last year! (The book is well worth a read if you market in a social world).
The last two years has seen massive upheaval in the selling and buying process, business as usual has changed have you?
Most firms (93%) expect to increase their spend on digital marketing in 2018, according to recent research from Ascend2.

Hereditary complete C4 deficiency has until now been reported in 30 cases only. A disturbed clearance of immune- complexes probably predisposes these individuals to systemic lupus erythematosus, other immune- complex diseases and recurrent microbial infections. We present here a 20- year- old female with hereditary complete C4 deficiency. Renal biopsy demonstrated renal AA amyloidosis. This unique case further substantiates that deficiency of classical pathway components predisposes to the development of recurrent microbial infections and that the patients may develop AA amyloidosis. Furthermore, in clinical practice, the nephrotic syndrome occurring in a patient with hereditary complete complement C4 deficiency should lead to the suspicion of renal AA amyloidosis.

In the early era, fishing is done primarily for meals consumption however these days, it is practiced not only for consumption but in addition for enjoyable, analysis work, and industrial purposes. Recreational fishing is also known as sports activities fishing. Looking over this the weakest part of the lineup could also be your three-6 hitters, if your energy guys will not be also good hitters. On the following degree above this, he distinguishes free-time activity participation in TV and exercise, which he feels are usually not true leisure, since individuals are not really autonomous in collaborating in either activity.
Then, too, in line with Iso-Ahola, leisure is perhaps characterized by escaping, which can contribute to internalizing an activity, which makes it much more a type of leisure. Since time immemorial, traveling has been a recreational exercise that most influential and opulent individuals indulge into.
Although a hierarchical mannequin was proposed by D.W. Crawford, E. L. Jackson, an G. Godbey to mix these three concepts right into a single mannequin, primarily based on one first forming leisure preferences on the intrapersonal stage, then encountering constraints on the interpersonal level, and finally encountering structural or intervening constraints, it would seem there isn't any such sequential ordering of these constraints.
In other words, utilizing a fuzzy time period to define what is considered an elusive onerous-to-define quality merely factors up the fuzziness, but it surely does not help to clarify the fundamental characteristics of what's leisure as compared to different aspects of human life.
Constraints On Collaborating In Leisure
Once you stop to consider it, humankind has at all times loved some type of leisure and recreation, so the historical past of leisure and recreation goes back a very great distance. This same problem of distinguishing leisure and never-leisure confronts each Iso-Ahola and Iwasaki in attempting to discuss the characteristics of leisure, in that many of those characteristics they use to describe leisure might be true of non-leisure actions, commonly thought-about work.
Iwasaki tries to get around this drawback by calling issues that he characterizes as points of leisure as "leisure-like" actions, and by the identical token, one might character what folks usually name work as "work-like" actions, but this is actually extra of a semantic sleight of hand.
recreational resort cottages, recreation definition religion, recreational therapist job outlook
The definition of recreation may be very imprecise. You can interact and talk extra along with your friends and family while sharing the astonishing experiences of a distinct outdoor activity every time you exit. As for constraints, these in another way have an effect on the opportunities women and men have for leisure.
What Is The Distinction Between Recreational And Business Fishing?
Actually, the perfect enterprise ideas are those which might be primarily based on your own recreational activities. For instance, if someone performs chores during this free time interval, this time would not be truly free, though Iso-Ahola suggests that the extra a person thinks of his work as an obligation, the extra free that person would really feel when he is engaged in nonwork activities, and due to this fact that exercise might truly be thought-about leisure.
Nevertheless, he distinguishes this feeling of freedom from the on a regular basis characterization of leisure as "free time", which individuals use for describing the time when they aren't working, since only some of this free time could really be free from any obligations so someone can do precisely what they want to do.

Thus, people who had labored from daybreak to dusk on farms in rural England, moved to the big city, received jobs in factories, and had leisure time away from their jobs.

This bold statement was made by a friend of my wife when we visited him in his rural retreat. I shall call him Alfred. Having published quite a few poems in my time this gave me pause for thought. What had I done? What had I published? Plainly I didn't know what I was doing.
The basis of Alfred's view was that the recognition of poetry as a category was the result of snobbery. He saw no difference between poetry and prose, or if he did he refused to recognise it. There seemed to be a class basis underlying his attitude, yet I had never come across a socialist making this claim. Nor a communist. Even that nice man, Uncle Joe Stalin, had written poetry. So I assumed that this was a personal view shared by few. (You have probably noticed that 'view' rhymes with 'few', but we all make mistakes.)
In the class warfare between poetry and prose, Alfred was plainly siding with the oppressed masses. An interesting choice. Maybe I forgot to mention that his rural retreat contained an indoor swimming pool and a cinema.
When I got back home I thought some more about this, and wasted time composing a rebuttal, starting with the demonstrable fact that poetry existed long before prose and exploring other areas of note, including a brief tour of the four-stress alliterative line as used in Old and Middle English, before stealing purposefully towards the present day where – I admit – I hit the occasional problem, such as certain poems which seemed to me (and I had to agree with Alfred there) prose by any other name divided into lines on a wholly arbitrary basis.
Right, so some poems are prosaic, but that does not invalidate the majority which are not.
In the main I felt I had a good case and sent it to him. Not long afterwards I received a brief reply to the effect that he 'took my point' (I had made several) and concluding with the words 'But I still think . . .'
And this is what is called a meeting of minds.
