Somehow April is already over??? How did that happen??? We're 1/3 of the way through the year????
Anyways, on to the Books I read!
1. I'll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson: 3.5 stars. There was some fluffy prose and shifts in POV that annoyed me, but the ending was so powerful omg!
2. Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson: 4 stars. The perfect summer break read ❤ This was such a strong story of growth, and I related to the main character in so many ways!
3. The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han: 2.5 stars. This was not the perfect summer break read. It was a fluff, fun read, but I kind of hated the main character and there was an infuriating love triangle! (love square?)
4. Love and Gelato by Jenna Evans Walsh: 4 stars. The setting for this alone is amazing! And all the food references! The romance was cute, if a bit insta-love. But I loved the family themes.
5. Wicked Like A Wildflower by Lana Popavic: 3.5 stars. The beginning was really slow and boring, but the ending was insane! It was such a cool concept of magic, and that cliffhanger though!
6. Geekerella by Ashley Ponsten: 4.5 stars. I LOVED this. It made my geeky heart so happy! And the romance was so cute, and all the Cinderella references too! Only reason it isn't 5 full stars is because of a little insta love.
7. The Astonishing Color of After by Emily X. R. Pan: 4 stars. This was such a beautiful and heartbreaking story of Leigh after her mom commits suicide. And I absolutely adored the diversity in having a biracial protagonist, and setting the story in Taiwan.
8. Broken Beautiful Hearts by Kami Garcia: 2 stars. This was a really good premise, but it turned into a book full of high school cliches and stereotypes, and an irritating instalove relationship.
9. Glow by Amy Kathleen Ryan: 3.5 stars. This one was really heavy, and much more complex than I'd originally thought, with me not knowing who to root for the entire way through. A bit too preachy for me, especially with unlikable characters.
So with 9 books read, it was a pretty good month 🙂 I did read 6 books in the first week, and then 3 books in the next 3 weeks, but, you know. Life. I also read a ton of contemporary this month, which is really abnormal, because I'm usually more into fantasy, so I'm really ready to fall back into fantasy now 🙂
Discussion Posts!
I think I'm starting to get the hang of discussions, and am trying my hardest to put one out every single Sunday!
1. Where Are The Parents In YA? I talked about how families and parents often seem to be missing in YA, and got some great responses in the comments–my best discussion to date!
2. Are Ships Spoilers? I talked about whether or not we should be putting spoiler tags when we reveal a ship, especially with a couple that doesn't get together until later in the series. I loved reading the comments–most people said YES, but some people said NO, and a few said SOMETIMES.
3. Pros and Cons of Flashbacks. I talked about some reasons to use flashbacks, reasons they are good, and reasons they are bad. It turns out that most people don't like flashbacks, just like me!
4. Should We Embrace Spoilers? I talked about the pros and cons of being spoiled, especially if it will make readers more likely to continue reading a book, versus, well, having that book spoiled!
Some Favorite Posts I Saw!
Siobhan talks about When Life Gets In The Way of Blogging
Kelly talks about Why Sequels are Typically Rated Higher Than Predecessors
Elise talks about Why She Isn't Usually A Fan Of The Enemies To Lovers Trope
Dorine Reacts To My Discussion On Are Retellings Original
Brittany questions Whether Pride and Prejudice Falls Into The Love Triangle Trope
There were a ton more that I liked, but I kind of fizzled out on keeping track of posts after the first, like, week of April, so I'll be better next month! (hopefully…)
Anyways, I hope everyone had a phenomenal April, and here's to an even better May 🙂

"Error 21" Print Overrun on HP LaserJet 4 Printer
"Error 21" Print Overrun on HP LaserJet 4 Printer
------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Publisher for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a - Microsoft Publisher for Windows 95 - Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== An "error 21" Print Overrun may be displayed on the printer when you use the Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet 4 printer. This error is most likely to occur when you use a lot of Picture or BorderArt images opn a page. STATUS ====== Microsoft has reported this problem to HP. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available. WORKAROUNDS =========== Method 1: Switch from HP-GL/2 (Vector) Mode to Raster Mode ---------------------------------------------------------- 1. From the File menu in Publisher, choose Print Setup. 2. Make sure the LaserJet 4 printer is selected 3. If you have Publisher 2.x: Choose the Options button. If you have Publisher 95: Choose the Properties button. 4. If you have Windows 3.x: In the Graphics Mode list box, select Raster instead of HP-GL/2. Choose OK to return to Publisher. If you have Windows 95: In the Graphics Tab, select Use raster graphics. Choose OK to return to Publisher. Method 2: Use the HP LaserJet III Printer Driver ------------------------------------------------ Print to the HP LaserJet 4 printer using the HP LaserJet III printer driver: 1. From the File menu in Publisher, choose Print Setup. 2. Select the LaserJet III printer. If you do not have a choice for a LaserJet III, you will need to install the driver. Consult your Windows user's guide for instructions on installing printer drivers. Method 3: Use the Add-on PostScript Option ------------------------------------------ Print to the HP LaserJet 4 printer using the add-on PostScript option, if it's available: NOTE: You can try this workaround only if your HP LaserJet 4 printer came with the PostScript Option. 1. From the File menu in Publisher, choose Print Setup. 2. Select the LaserJet 4 PostScript printer driver and choose OK. If you do not have a choice for the LaserJet 4 PostScript printer, you will need to install the driver. Consult your Windows user's guide for instructions on installing printer drivers. MORE INFORMATION ================ The HP-GL/2 printer language is vector based. It defines a curve using a recursive algorithm creating a series of very short lines. Some basic objects such as a circle in BorderArt are printed by defining thousands of lines. This may overflow the printer's memory. Adding memory to the printer does not necessarily resolve the error message. In Raster mode your image is interpreted as a bitmap, so the printer memory does not become overloaded with an untold number of line descriptions. NOTE: Other memory issues could be considered--for example, making sure that you have a valid SET TEMP= statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, and that the directory it points to exists. Additional query words: 2.00 mspub error 21 20 HP4 print printing 2.00a rastor 3.00

Guideline for Committee Chairs
1. Please plan the year's program for your committee and send a schedule of events to the NYLA office for the NYLA calendar as soon as possible.
2. The NYLA goal is a committee structure that provides for rotation of about one-third of the committee membership each year. Each committee is requested to appoint or elect a Vice chair.
3. Committee budget recommendations are due by the end of February of each year, after which the following year's budget will be developed. Budget estimates should include:
a. Regular expenditures (committee meetings, telephone, postage) that will not be picked up by the member's library or institution.
b. Special project expenditures such as publications or research studies (these require specific review and approval by Council)
4. Committee expenses are submitted via the NYLA Reimbursement Request Form. All committee expenses must be approved (signed) by you before they are submitted to the NYLA office for final approval and reimbursement. Receipts must be attached. The total year's expenses may not exceed the budget allowance. Most committee business is done virtually and via meeting at Annual Conference. If the work of your committee requires meetings during the year, every effort should be made to do so in the most economical way (utilizing another conference or event, for example), and scheduling the meeting in the most central location. Overnight expenses are not reimbursed. For any wavier on financial policy, prior approval is required.
5. Copies of meeting notices, official correspondence, and meeting minutes shall be sent to the NYLA office so accurate and complete records of NYLA business will be up-to-date.
6. If you wish to report committee activities in the Bulletin, please contact the Bulletin Editor (firstname.lastname@example.com). The NYLA membership is eager to be kept informed of committee activity, so please try to send information whenever there is something to report.
7. ANY MEMBER OF YOUR COMMITTEE WHO IS NOT A NYLA MEMBER IN GOOD STANDING WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY DROPPED FROM YOUR COMMITTEE. You will receive notice before action is taken.
8. If your committee requires a task force to accomplish a specific goal consistent with your charge, you may organize one from among your membership, or recruit other NYLA members to help in the task. Council approval is required for the formation of a Task Force. If you require a formal subcommittee, Council approval is required and budgetary provisions must be in place.
9. Committee chairs are appointed in accordance with the individual committee's charge. Reappointment for chair and members is permitted. You are encouraged to involve other members of NYLA in committee work on an ad hoc basis. They are not eligible for expense reimbursement.
10. Please review the charge to your committee. If it requires updating, expansion or substantive change, please contact the President or the NYLA Office. A change on the charge to any committee can only be made with Council approval.
11. NYLA staff is here to help you. Please call them for help in arranging meetings, planning your work, advising you on other NYLA Sections, which might work with you on a specific item, legislative or legal implications, etc.
Guidelines for Committee Members
1. Committee chairs and committee members, are appointed in accordance with the individual committee's charge. Reappointment for chair and members is permitted. You are encouraged to involve other members of NYLA in committee work on an ad hoc basis. They are not eligible for expense reimbursement. Recommendations for Committee membership and chairmanships may be made to the President or Executive Director.
2. If the President of the Association does not appoint a Vice Chair, then the committee should elect one at the first official meeting at which a quorum is present.
3. For the purpose of electing a Vice-Chair, and all other committee business, a quorum of the committee shall consist of a simple majority.
4. Members of the community may be suggested by the committee chair, or others, but the President of the Association appoints all members of the committee. The President may add or delete from any list submitted by the committee chair, unless otherwise directed by Council.
5. Each Committee Member should carefully review:
a. a copy of these guidelines
b. a copy of the committee charge section of the NYLA manual which pertains to the Committee. It is the Chair's responsibility to see that this Section of the manual is up-to-date and recommend appropriate changes, if any, to the President.
c. The Committee's budget
6. All reports and/or resolutions presented to Council by a committee should be approved at a regularly scheduled meeting of the committee at which a quorum is present or as outlined above.
7. Since committees may consist of members appointed from various parts of the state, the committee is encourages to conduct all or part of its work via e-mail, conference call and web conference. However, committee reports and/or resolutions submitted to Council can only contain what is agreed upon by a majority of its members.
8. Committees must submit all published reports, resolutions, and recommendations to the Council for approval. The Council may accept for filing or revise and or amend prior to action or publication. Committees must submit copies of meeting notices and minutes to the NYLA office for historical files.
9. If the revised or amended report or resolution does not meet with the approval of the committee chair, it may be referred back to committee for further consideration. However, under no circumstances, may a committee issue a public report or take action on behalf of the New York Library Association without official Council approval. However, if the Executive Committee decides that the matter is not an emergency, it will be held over for action taken by Council. Council will be notified of action taken by the Executive Board.
10. Annual reports of committee activities must be submitted by August 15.
11. Major expenses incurred by any committee must have prior approval for the NYLA office.
Committee Reports
Written committee reports are submitted for inclusion in the materials packet for all in-person NYLA Council meetings.


text: Uzima Aid is looking into venturing into this in the near future. There is great need for the development of affordable low cost housing especially for the needy. Owning a house in Kenya has become a pipe dream for many people and most of the affected are the needy communities who live in the informal settlements. Statistics show that the needy spend most of their meagre resources in paying rentals and this further puts economic strain on families. There are approximately 2.5 million slum (informal settlement) dwellers in about 200 settlements in Nairobi alone representing about 60% the Nairobi population and occupying 6% of the land. Kibera houses about 350,000 of these people. Kibera is one of the biggest slums in Africa and the world. In 2012 about 2 million Kenyans were homeless and the number is steadily increasing by about 200,000 Kenyans per year. About 68% of all Kenyans do not own land and a higher percentage do not own homes. Kenya's slum population is growing rapidly at nearly 6 per cent each year. Nairobi epitomises the challenges facing needy people in Kenya's urban areas. Pressure on land – largely from commercial interests – has led to a situation where 55 per cent of the city's total population is crammed onto a mere 1.5 per cent of the total land area. Uzima would like to be part of the solution to this challenge that has many families in distress. Partner with us At this point we would like to enlist individuals, churches and organizations that have an interest in working with Uzima Aid to help us achieve this milestone. Please contact us; firstname.lastname@example.com

With Indian Mining Ban Lifted, Chinese Steel Companies Still Worried
Continued from Part One.
Even Sesa Goa, with a sanctioned capacity of 6 million tons per year, has only been allowed to mine 2.3 million tons per year — not even half its capacity.
The hit to mining companies has been so severe that even export figures have taken a tumble.
Federation of Indian Mineral Industries officials have even said export of iron ore was no longer a viable proposition. With the ban on mining in Karnataka, restriction on mining in Odisha and Goa, along with a high railway freight rate and 30-percent export duty, companies are backing away from exporting iron ore because of thin margins.
In Odisha, India's largest producer and second-biggest iron ore exporting state, there is Joda, the largest mining circle in India in terms of iron ore production, with more than 40 million tons of annual output. Joda accounts for one-fourth of India's total output.
It was reported in some newspapers here that in the first quarter of the current financial year, traders in the Joda mining circle had lifted 57 percent less iron ore for export purposes compared with a year ago. For 2012-13, the state steel and mines department had capped iron ore production for the Joda mining circle at 40 million tons, which was another reason for the downturn in its exports.
Chinese steel companies, which rely on India, especially the ore from Joda, are worried about the reduction in supplies. India recently raised export duties from 15 percent on lumps and 5 percent on fines to 20 percent across the board. India is the 3rd largest exporter to China after Australia and Brazil.
On the domestic front, iron ore, steel and pig iron companies in Karnataka, who depend on this raw material, are facing closure due to 'severe shortage' of the ore, with most reporting only 45 days of stock. Karnataka's state's steel industry accounts for 25 percent of India's annual production.
Sohrab Darabshaw contributes an Indian perspective to MetalMiner.

Koons Sterling Ford Auto Battery Service
Looking for a dealership in the Fairfax or Chantilly area to replace your vehicle battery? Koons Sterling Ford can help! Our service team consists of seasoned technicians that are prepared to assist drivers with everything from battery replacement to a long list of other service needs!
Signs your Auto Battery may Require Service
Don't wait for the day for your battery to completely stop functioning to get it changed! Get ahead of the problem by scheduling out a service appointment with the Koons Sterling Ford service team! There are a host of telltale signs that Herndon area drivers can look for regarding battery health. First up, the infamous battery corrosion. Corrosion on your vehicle battery can be a sign of hydrogen leakage from your battery, which in turn is a sign that your battery isn't charging properly. Granted, this doesn't always mean you need to replace the entire battery. Our service team can help you determine the proper course of action depending on the amount of corrosion. Beyond corrosion, Fairfax drivers can look for dimming headlights when you switch on your heater. Essentially, if you notice any of the electrically run aspects of your vehicle functioning at weaker levels, it can mean your battery is the cause. Possibly the most classic symptom that can alert Chantilly drivers to a weak battery is slow engine crank. By slow engine crank, we mean the time it takes for your vehicle to turn the ignition when starting the vehicle. If this is slow or replies to your key turn with a clicking sound, you likely need a new auto battery.
Schedule a Service Appointment at Koons Sterling Ford!
Ashburn and Manassas drivers can look to the Koons Sterling for nearly all your battery replacement needs! Call, stop by, or schedule an appointment online today!

Investigation of the Multidimensional Well-Being Assessment (MWA) in a sample of African Americans
Existing models and measures of well-being tend to be based on an individualistic, western worldview. In addition, when cross-cultural comparisons are made, diverse cultural groups within the same national border are typically not examined. The Multidimensional Well-Being Assessment (MWA) was developed because of the absence of a culturally relevant measure to assess the well-being of those whose worldview is more consistent with collectivism. Although much attention has been given to detrimental forces in the lives of African Americans, less consideration has been given to assessing well-being in this population. In this study, a nonrandom sample was used to examine the validity of the MWA. In addition, several demographic variables were considered to explore the relationship of the dimensions of well-being contained on the MWA. A total of the 169 persons who identified as African-American or as a Black person with African ancestry participated in the study. The MWA showed strong reliability on nearly all dimensional subscales, as well as a pattern of expected significant positive and negative correlations with multiple validation measures. Significant correlations between demographic variables (i.e., age, education, income, and gender) and several dimensions on the MWA were also found. This study has implications for future research and the MWA shows promising results with regard to its psychometric properties. It is a potentially useful instrument to utilize in research that seeks to deepen understanding of life satisfaction and wellness in diverse populations, with particular attention to unique findings within the African American population.

Concerned about helping your clients? You should also be concerned about boosting your therapy or psychologist website SEO. If you want to help people, you need them to find you. And, if you want clients to find you, you need to appear in Google search results. You need "psychologist website SEO".
Even clients who have a referral will Google you before they call
– TherapyEverywhere SEO Team
Staying current with your clients takes effort. And, staying on top of the search results takes effort too. According to Moz, Google implements more than 500 changes to the search algorithms each year. While most changes are minor, some updates can have a catastrophic impact on your psychologist website SEO.
"Death Takes No Bribes" and neither does Google
You can rank way up on search results even if you are a solo practice or a small-medium size program. Google doesn't take bribes to push your site up in search results. Google also won't give you psychologist website SEO ranking because you are an excellent therapist. And, they won't show your website in the top ten even if you call them up and ask really nicely.
There is only one way to get consistent search results for your mental health website: convince Google's algorithm that your website is a relevant, useful, and engaging when people search: "I need help with….", "I am worried about…", "My child….", "My marriage…."). Good SEO ranking for those searches is what you need.
You're a therapist, not a full-time Google SEO maven
You need to be fully present for your clients. Keeping up with Google's frequent changes to search algorithms is our job. We keep your site focused on delivering what Google values. While you focus on delivering great care we maximize the number of potential clients that find you and your practice. We are website SEO experts for mental health practices.
Google algorithm changes that most affect your practice website
With the spread of A.I., mobile devices, rolling updates, and rapid changes in ads, your website's search ranking is in play. It can get better, and it can get worse. Here are a few of the most critical changes and what we are doing to keep our websites current.
Mobile is the future – enhancing the mobile experience
To better support smartphone browsing, Google shifted focus to improving search satisfaction for mobile users. Google mobile-first indexing means that Google will now use the mobile version of your site for indexing and ranking.
Our tech team at Therapy Everywhere has been working hard to ensure that our sites are mobile friendly to the max. Our goal is the fastest, most positive user experience on mobile. Some changes we are making to optimize our sites for mobile include improving site speed, optimizing images for mobile devices, and tweaking the site layout for better user experiences on smartphones.
Speed, speed, and more speed translates to psychologist website SEO
Until now, Google has relied on user experience metrics to rank websites. Starting in July 2018, Google added speed as a key ranking factor, penalizing the slowest sites. Our tech team has been rolling out changes to ensure website content loads faster, improving performance on Google and boosting your psychologist website SEO.
Google penalties for sites without HTTPS
Google trusts sites that have a security certificate and awards higher SEO ranking to sites with HTTPS.
Worse, Google Chrome and other browsers discourage visitors from sites without SSL by displaying a "not-secure" warning next to the website's URL. This warning discourages site visitors from engaging on your site.
Therapy Everywhere includes complementary SSL security on your website. Contact us to learn more.

What is SEO?

Canadians love their burgers, and these three burger franchises are delivering more than the typical ketchup-and-mustard treatment. Big Smoke Burger, Cheese Curds Gourmet Burgers & Poutinerie, and Fatburger serve the modern, discerning burger-lover in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.
Big Smoke Burger
Since opening its first location more than 10 years ago on King West in Toronto, Ontario, Big Smoke Burger has been serving up premium burgers to hungry customers who want more than the usual fast-food burger experience.
"Big Smoke offers fresh products, charbroiled burgers with no fillers, and amazing signature toppings," shares Bruce Miller, Big Smoke Burger's brand leader. "We're in three provinces in Canada, and we've been expanding community by community — we're slated to be able to open up five more locations this year." He adds that the company also has four (soon to be five) locations in Dubai, UAE.
Setting Big Smoke apart from its competitors is its dedication to satisfying customers' adventurous and deluxe tastes. "We're always looking to bring out new and innovative limited-time offers," says Miller. "We are presently running our world tour, which provides a taste from various parts of the world on a burger. We do this for our guests two to three times a year."
Part of why Big Smoke continues to deliver is its commitment to perfecting the burger. "We don't do chicken wings, we don't do pasta, and we don't do steaks. We do burgers, and we do them incredibly well," says Miller.
Because of the chain's focused menu, the brand presents an operational advantage to potential franchisees. "It's a lot easier to learn the processes," says Miller of Big Smoke's streamlined operations, adding: "This also makes it easier to be able to execute that perfect burger experience every day."
Big Smoke's ensures support is always available for its franchisees. "We like to grow with new franchise partners, as well as our current franchise partners," says Miller. "We have a couple of multi-unit franchise owners who have been very successful opening up a second, third, and in some cases a fourth or fifth location. That speaks volumes as to how the brand treats our franchise partners." The brand also offers extensive centralized marketing and advertising, as well as on-site support on a regular basis.
Miller's advice to anyone considering a Big Smoke franchise? It's not necessary to have food service or restaurant experience to be successful with the franchise, as they will provide training to new franchisees. As Miller says, "We have a mix of in-store and in-classroom training, including a one-week university for Big Smoke."
Big Smoke is also interested in giving back to the communities they're in. Miller explains that Big Smoke partners with schools in downtown Toronto, like George Brown College. "We're helping students who are working to add to their resumes with opportunities wherever possible." With an action plan like that, it's no wonder that Big Smoke locations are beloved by Canadians on both sides of the counter.
Cheese Curds Gourmet Burgers & Poutinerie
Looking for tacos with your burgers? You're in luck! Cheese Curds Gourmet Burgers & Poutinerie and Habaneros Modern Taco Bar is a combined quick-service restaurant experience that provides two of the most popular quick service cuisines in one place in premium form
"We're cooking most of the food on-site instead of using pre-processed product," says Bill Pratt, CEO and founder of Chef Inspired, the restaurant group who owns Cheese Curds and Habaneros, among other restaurant brands. Of the benefits of the combined-restaurant approach, Pratt adds: "You have two revenue streams from one location while only paying one rent, one manager, and one build-out cost, while the restaurants look completely different inside."
Pratt's passion for serving quality food to the chain's customers is clear, as is his belief in Cheese Curds's concept. "Burgers are the number one food in the world right now and will never go out of style. I started my first burger restaurant with a unique concept: allowing customers to choose how they build their burger. It's the same with our tacos. People get to choose from a wide variety of toppings."
The franchise offers its franchisees the ability to be a part of two thriving quick service chains in one, guided by a strong training and support system. "We send you to burger and taco school to learn all our systems," says Pratt. "Then we have a team help launch your store in order to set you up until you're comfortable on your own. We also have ongoing support daily and weekly."
In addition to a dynamic support network, being a part of a bustling franchise means that the brand's buying power benefits its individual franchisees. "Food and labour costs are critical in the restaurant business," Pratt explains, adding: "We have experience negotiating leases and rents more than the average person and we have a proven business model that the banks and lending institutions love."
As for what makes an ideal franchisee? "What you need is the right attitude and the willingness to learn. You need to be passionate and to want to succeed. You need to be proud of the food that you're serving. If you are a true entrepreneur, we are going to want to grow more stores with you," says Pratt, with confidence that owners who find success with one location will no doubt want to expand.
Fatburger Canada
Fatburger founder Love Yancey is quoted as having said, "The name of the store was my idea. I wanted to get across the idea of a big burger with everything on it … a meal in itself." After first opening its doors in 1947 in Los Angeles, California, this quick service burger restaurant has been satisfying customers around the world.
Tracy Frazer, Fatburger Canada's director of marketing and creative services, echoes Yancey's sentiment today: "Fatburger has a history of serving big, juicy burgers made to order, with premium ingredients. Our food takes a little longer because it is cooked from scratch, and each burger is prepared one at a time — with love as the secret ingredient." Using only fresh Alberta Angus beef, each burger is indeed lovingly cooked using the same techniques as those first burgers in Los Angeles all those years ago.
"The quick service restaurant category is experiencing significant growth and it's expected to continue doing so," says Frazer. "In today's fast-paced world, consumers have an increasing reliance on quick meals, but they don't want to sacrifice quality."
This sentiment is what drives Fatburger and other premium burger franchises today — the desire to provide quality food that franchisees can feel good about serving to their busy, hungry customers who crave something beyond the standard fast food patty options. "Our guests appreciate that at Fatburger, they can enjoy real food made from premium ingredients served quickly," Frazer explains. Because of the company's ability to satisfy this growing customer base's needs, the brand continues to expand rapidly across Canada, and Fatburger Canada is celebrating its 15th anniversary this May.
While recruitment and retention can be difficult in the food service industry, Fatburger Canada has a dynamic support system in place for franchisees, helping them manage labour and development. Of the ideal franchisee, Frazer notes that it is always a benefit if you're willing to "roll up your sleeves — and maybe even get some mustard on those sleeves."
Beyond that, Fatburger Canada looks for people who are invested in the service part of quick service. "Being a 'people person' who loves being part of a team is a huge asset," Frazer shares, continuing with some advice for those looking for the right franchise fit: "Find something that you are passionate about and do it! We love seeing a new guest's reaction to how great our food looks and tastes when it arrives at their table. We take joy in making people smile." And with their premium ingredients and holistic approach, it is no wonder Fatburger continues to thrive today.

Women want to feel safe and secure when they are in their home and when they are outside of their home too. Unfortunately there is always a risk of being attacked by a criminal, and it's important to be prepared with good self-defense tactics you can utilize in case such an incident occurs. If you are equipped to defend yourself, then you will have a better chance of getting out of a bad situation.
According to the Women's Self-Defense Institute, the crime-statistics indicate that in the next hour, somewhere in the United States, the following will happen:
- 900 Thefts
- 189 Violent Crimes
- 124 Assaults
- 66 Robberies
- 24 Sexual Assaults
- 12 Rapes
- 2 Murders
The statistics are alarming and you need to understand that this is not one of those things that can never happen to you. The chances are high that one of these crimes can and most likely will happen to you. So the question you need to ask yourself is, will you be ready to defend yourself against an attacker if a dangerous situation arises? If you don't feel you have the ability to defend yourself, it's imperative you learn how and this article will help. We don't want you to be a victim, we want you to be the women who knows how to fight back any perpetrator who attempts to hurt you or rob you. Every woman has the capability of being strong and powerful when it comes to fighting back from any attacker. You just need to understand the weapons you can use and how to use them effectively.
We need to look at some things you can do to even the odds if you are faced with someone bigger, stronger and faster than you. Below are some effective weapons you can have in your possession, either in your home or in your purse, or in your car. Let's look at the benefits of having and using each of them and you can decide what is best for you.
Pepper Spray or Mace
You want to carry with you a non-lethal weapon that evens the playing field if you are attacked. You need to look no further than pepper spray for your self-defense arsenal. I will tell you first hand this stuff blinds you so if you use it against someone attacking you, they will be unable to see, which gives you an opening to escape. Spray it into the face of the person assaulting you and they will be in pain and blinded. Be careful not to get it in your own eyes when using it against someone else. This is the easiest way to disable your attacker and free yourself to run to safety. You can have Pepper spray or mace in your purse, your car, and keep it on your nightstand as well. It's a perfect weapon to have with you at all times.
Carry a Knife
A knife is a really great self-defense weapon if you know how to use one. I would definitely take a Filipino martial arts course on how to use a knife. This weapon can be deadly in close ranges even more so than a gun if you know how to use it. You can also use a knife for survival so it would have a dual purpose.
You will want the right kind of knife for self-defense. Look for a blade at least 3 inches or longer. There are several knives you can look at on our site that would be great weapons to defend against an attack.
Stun Gun or Taser
These weapons are great for anyone who wants to stop an attacker with a non-lethal weapon. A stun gun will immobilize an attacker for at least 5 seconds or more. This will be plenty of time to escape to safety.
You might be asking how does a stun gun work? When someone is shot with a stun gun, the electrical current overrides the brain's control of the body by basically speaking the same 'language' as your nerves. The electric pulses are the same as what is used by neurons and neurons are the super highway of transportation between the brain and muscles. If you shoot someone with a stun gun, it overloads the super highway of the nervous system causing the body to not be able to function properly for at least 5 seconds or more. During this time, you can escape your attacker.
Tactical Pen
The tactical pen looks like a pen but it can be used for so much more. This weapon can be used to strike your opponent in an area like the temple to stop an attack. The pen can not only write, functioning like a normal pen, but it is strong enough to be able to strike areas of the body that will penetrate and incapacitate an attacker.
The tactical pen is small enough to easily fit in your purse or put in a nightstand drawer. You can keep it in your coat pocket, if you are out for a walk as well. I recommend you keep it in your hand, when you are walking to your car at night, or out anywhere alone at night. That way you are prepared to defend yourself if an attack occurs.
You need to know where to strike using this weapon so that you can injure the criminal enough to be able to escape the attack. The main areas of the body you should try to target include:
- Eyes
- Throat
- Base of Neck
- Ears
- Groin
If you can't hit those critical areas of the body, then try for the following areas:
- Armpit
- Nose
- Ribs
- Back of Hand
- Sternum
- Knuckles
- Thigh
- Solar Plexus
Strike hard with multiple hits just long enough to injure and disable your perpetrator, so you can run away to get help. It may only take one hit to succeed in defending yourself, but you also may need to hit the aggressor 2, 3 or 4 times to immobilize them. You want to use the tactical pen like a knife where you jab or thrust the tip of the pen into the attacker.
Personal Alarm
These alarms are extremely loud when they go off. Using this weapon can be effective in drawing attention to the situation and can often scare off the criminal. Personal alarms are simple to carry and use if attacked. The device is like your own personal mini security alarm you can have just for you. The alarms are extremely loud 110 db or more. You can use it in your home or take it with you wherever you go.
You can keep this alarm on your keychain and set it off when you feel there is a threat to your safety. It's critical to be aware of your surroundings at all times, so if you notice someone approaching you, you can be vigilant in defending yourself. You always want to have easy access to this alarm, so keep it handy to use at all times. For example, let's say you come home from the grocery store and you started carrying bags into the home. You see a strange man walking towards the garage where you are unloading groceries. You need to have the alarm ready to pull as soon as that person steps into your garage. You need to quickly assess the threat and then react accordingly.
The way I look at guns, is if you own one, you better know how to use it, and you better be willing to use it too. This is why many people look to use other defense weapons instead of a gun. With the proper training in using a gun, it can be a very effective weapon to stop an attack on you or your family. I won't use this article to share which guns I recommend you buy, but you can check out the recommendations here, if you are interested in purchasing a gun. Make sure you understand your state laws before buying a gun for self-defense.
In summary, these are the most effective weapons you can use to defend yourself against an attacker. Please consider using many of them in the different ways I suggested for your own protection. Make sure you have at least one in your possession at all times, to insure your safety. Whether you are at home or away from your home, you always want to be prepared to escape a dangerous situation. If an event occurs where you are assaulted, the number one thing you never want to do is to go to the second location with the offender. Do everything in your power to fight back and escape before then.
These weapons will help you do just that. And if you are caught off guard without any weapon, make sure you kick, scream, bite, spit, punch, and anything else you can to get away.

Zoey has been adopted!
Please meet little Zoey
Zoey is a female 13 week old black lab mix who was rescued with her siblings from a remote community in Southern Ontario, she is petite and currently weighs 15lbs. Zoey has had her first set of puppy shots, has been dewormed and has had her first dose of heartworm medication. She is a shy little girl with a wonderful disposition, there is not an aggressive bone in her little body. Her confidence level is getting better and better with each passing day. She is learning with the help of her foster brother that not everything in the world is scary, but she will continue to need a home that will be patient with her as she continues to gain confidence.
Zoey is doing wonderful with house training and crate training. She is a very obedient little girl who always wants to please, she loves to be told that she is a good girl. Her favorite time of the day is cuddle time, she loves to cuddle up next to her humans on a soft blanket on the couch. At night she happily goes into her crate which is in her foster moms bedroom- as long as she knows someone is in the room, she is a happy camper.
Zoey is independent and happily plays with her toys when she is by herself. She loves to go for long walks and loves to run and play in the fields with her foster pack, she has very good recall and because she is fostered on a property with a lot of land, she is not leashed when walked-she will need to be leash trained. She knows the command sit and is learning shake a paw.
Zoey has been kid tested and she is wonderful, though she still is a puppy so sometimes her little teeth may unintentionally make a boo boo, therefore older children would be recommended for her. Zoey also loves all dogs she comes into contact with.
Finding a home for her with someone home the majority of the time would be ideal as she needs someone to teach her not to be afraid of things, this needs to be shown to her as it is not something she can learn on her own and is something that needs to be done while she is a puppy. Zoey will require someone that will provide her training, introduce her to the things she perceives as scary and teach her that these things are all OK.
Zoey was lovingly fostered by Susan

Here Are Some Books To Pretend You'll Read On Your Imaginary Vacation
It's been pretty cold in places like Manhattan, Greenwich and Boston. Perhaps you've noticed. In any event, this sort of thing has people dreaming of being on a beach somewhere other than New Jersey, where it is also cold, on which they like to fancy themselves kicking back and diving into a good book, when, in fact, we all know you'll be reading research reports and a never-ending string of inane e-mails from colleagues in the unlikely event you make it to the Caribbean.
It seems JonesTrading��s Dave Lutz is among those who will be spending Spring Break in his office, because he has chosen to use his precious free time to run a poll of colleagues to see what they like to think they'd be reading if they weren't also not going on vacation to escape the chill.
There's plenty of the sort of fare you'd expect, like that really thick book about oil, a book about how fucked Europe is, that book where that hedge fund manager tells his stirring tale of standing up to Vladimir Putin and losing, the philosophy of Peter Thiel, Bill O'Reilly's latest made-up war story that is also simultaneously the newest installment of his tin-foil-hat-type "Killing" series, and, of course, American Sniper. Also not unexpected are the presence of some prestige titles to sit ostentatiously next to the bed, unopened: The likes of a 30-year-old Paulo Coelho novel, some hifalutin historical fiction from 40 years ago and Donna Tartt's The Goldfinch, showing just how far behind the Zeitgeist people buried in an Excel spreadsheet can be. Wall Streeters are even further behind on To Kill a Mockingbird, which they've named either because they've never read it or because they want to pretend they'll brush up on it before pretending to read the sequel when it comes out later this year. Also, people are really into (or aspiring to be really into) the 1936Olympics this winter, for some reason.
What books are you telling people you're reading this winter?

St Mark's and Rice and Peas in Venice
The city of Venice has many traditional recipes: and so a visit to Venice is not complete without a dining experience!
To worthily celebrate the patron saint of Venice, the Evangelist Mark, one cannot absolutely miss Rice and Peas.
It is a thick soup that is especially prepared in April, as it is a typically spring dish. Its origins may be traced back to the early centuries of the history of Venice, when the city was under the rule of Constantinople because those populations had long had the habit of mixing rice with other ingredients.
A plate of Rice and Peas was offered to the Doge in the Banquet Hall of the Doges's Palace during the celebrations in honour of St. Mark on 25th April.
The Doge of the Venice Republic turned it into an auspicious use for the party of the Republic of Venice, on St. Mark's day. A dish combining rice, cereal which is symbol of fertility (as when handfuls are often thrown over brides), with peas, one of the spring vegetables grown in the lagoon gardens, was offered to all members of the Venetian government.
To get in touch with the rich food and wine of Venice is an experience that should not be missed during your stay in the lagoon! In our food and wine tours section you can find many original ideas to combine a visit to Venice to discover its culinary tradition: cooking classes, bacaro tours and many other original activities!

Civil Rights
Block on Trump's Asylum Ban Upheld by Supreme Court
Contracts are critical instruments for keeping lawsuits at bay. Wouldn't it be nice to have a lawyer's thesaurus laying around during those times when we just can't think of another synonym to "person"?
As transactional attorneys know, contracts have a tendency to get more and more complicated the higher and higher the stakes get. In more innocent times, there was not much debate as to what the word "person" meant, or whether a business entity could be considered a person for some purposes, but not for others.
Ambiguities like these are, unfortunately, one of the very reasons people need the law and lawyers. Lawyers serve the function of covering their clients' butts.
Two organizations, the U.S. Open Data and OpenGov Foundation, have called for linguists, programmers and legal geeks to come together for a worthy cause. They're looking for someone with a D. R. Hofstadter-like mind to help them create a program that will run though contractual provisions on the X side, and spit out the entire list of synonyms provided for in the original contract language on the Y side -- with strength of correlation.
Now lawyers can calculate with greater precision how much of their necks could potentially be on the line because of disagreements over terms.
This legal thesaurus sounds like a real treat for transactional attorneys. It's too soon to tell if the terms with the stronger statistical overlap will be given higher listing priority because it was presented that way in the input, or because people really do think of "corporation" when they think "person." Frankly, that in itself is telling of our current society.
Anyhow, the goal is to use open-source software to create the process to get this done. And the primary goal is just to get this thing up and running. "We're looking for the minimum viable product -- not a polished tool," says U.S. Open Data on their site.

From "Likes" on Facebook to five-star movie ratings on Netflix and uploaded images in Google Photos, our world is virtually leaking raw data. Increasingly sophisticated technologies are exponentially increasing the amounts of it we can collect. This data deluge poses certain problems for science and engineering, namely that we are producing more data than we can store and analyze. For LIDS alum Martin Wainwright, the real challenge is making all that data useful. "Data, on its own, is not really interesting," he says. "Data contains information. Information is interesting." It's not the details on Facebook that advertisers need, but large patterns in user behavior. It's not the individual cases of HIV, but the vectors of transmission that hold value for epidemiologists.
Martin spends his time thinking about how to convert raw data to meaningful information. He designs algorithms to extract structure from massive strings of zeros and ones. The needs for this kind of work are many. For example, image processing requires ways to compress pixels; Netflix uses algorithms that can quickly assess people's eclectic movie choices and come up with tailored recommendations. But Martin works on the fundamentals of culling information from data. While these potential applications of his work drive the research, they don't determine the conceptual questions he asks.
Martin works as a professor with a joint appointment between the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and Department of Statistics at UC Berkeley. These days, he's spending his sabbatical here at LIDS. It's not far from home, actually, as Martin earned his PhD here in 2002. The institution has left an indelible mark on his career, and naturally, it's pulled him back. "Once you've been here, it's always in your blood," he says. During this extended visit, he is working on a book about high dimensional data, teaching a special graduate topics class, and continuing his research with a group of his Berkeley students who followed him to MIT.
One of Martin's favorite algorithms to emerge from his group is one that extracts all the voting records of US senators from a large database publically available at Senate.gov. When Martin demonstrates it, the complexity of the math seems to disappear. At a click of a button on his laptop, the installed algorithm spits out the image of a big circle. Tiny red and blue lines span the circle's diameter, like strings stretching across a dream catcher. Martin explains that the lines, red for Republican, Blue for Democrat, and yellow for Independent, show actual relationships between the senators.
This algorithm, without knowing the political affiliations of the senators, has "learned" about them. It turns out that there are many more connections between Democrats than Republicans. There is one highly connected node, reflecting many shared votes—it's Lieberman in 2006, right before he switched from Democrat to Independent. Martin says that this kind of algorithm reveals changes in data over time, which would be useful in extracting other interesting information from any kind of social network.
Martin's research could also apply to something called error control coding. When a satellite sends transmissions back to Earth, the data travels in a string of zeros and ones. During their journey, some of the data points will inevitably become corrupted; some zeros will become ones, for instance, and some digits will be erased. Engineers need to combat these errors of transmission by introducing redundancy, basically extra code. Back on Earth, the coding measure can help the corrupted code self-correct. This idea doesn't just apply to sending information to and from the far-flung reaches of space, though. Supermarket barcodes also contain an error control code. If a package is scanned off-center and records a number wrong, the extra checks figure out the mistake.
Martin has a multidisciplinary background, and jokes about being a dilettante. After receiving his undergraduate degree in mathematics, he earned a Masters in neuroscience from Harvard. The human brain may at first seem a big jump from theoretical algorithms, but Martin explains that the statistical analysis inherent in neuroscience modeling drew him into Information and Decision Systems. He is still fascinated by the brain, "the most sophisticated object on Earth," he calls it. "Computer vision systems come no where near what a simple visual system can do in our brain…It's interesting from an engineering standpoint because here is a system and we are not capable of engineering anything remotely close to it. At least not yet." In the future, it's a challenge he wants to tackle.
Martin says it might be possible to apply his current methods of high dimensional data analysis to neuroscience. As it becomes possible to record the action of different neurons simultaneously, something like the voting records algorithm could detect interesting patterns in the ways cells electrically interact. Similar to amassing senate votes from consecutive years, Martin explains, recordings from neurons would provide spikes of data over time. Theoretically, the right algorithm could infer neural connections and patterns, the kind of information that would revolutionize our understanding of the brain.
If you sit right outside Martin's office, located centrally in the midst of other offices and cubicals in LIDS, you will hear streams of voices and the sounds of collaboration emerge from all directions. Martin likes this unique feature of LIDS. "People [here] like to study fundamental principles, but the applications they work on are really diverse—biological, social networks, aircraft control systems" he says. So, there's common ground, and everyone has a shared way of thinking about things, but there's enough diversity as well that it makes for interesting interaction."
Being able to just walk around the lab and have productive conversations with other researchers is a huge benefit, as Martin's work is not always fun. Detecting order in the chaos of a data deluge is a "non-linear" experience. "You are struggling for a long time to formulate the right model, or to understand what key ingredients in problems are," Martin says. "But what keeps you addicted to it is that moment when you are working very hard, feeling like you are on treadmill making no progress, but then suddenly there is a flash of insight. That's what keeps me coming back."

Past my bedtime again...
Another crazy, busy day in the books! I hate getting off track with my sleeping - but - what can ya do. 'Tis life sometimes.
Nothing exciting to report today. Took the day off the gym - focussed on work.
Got the pup out for a good run today in the sunshine - but brrrrr, it was cold. Spring...where are you? One of the lame parts about getting leaner is I AM COLD ALLLL THE TIME - even when I'm inside and bundled in sweaters with the heat on.
I'm sure come show day, I'll be rocking mittens in 20C weather.
Here's another thing I've learned during prep - I'm not usually one to crave sweet stuff - I'm more about salty snacks, but during this prep - ALL I want is sweet stuff. My end of day protien brownie covered in WF syrup is heaven in my mouth. I've even started adding sweetener packets to my coffee/tea when before I'd drink them black.
I dream of candy.
I think this is my body telling me "EAT WOMAN, I'M HANGRY!"
Also, I'm hangry.
BUT - hit a CRAZY ASS low today - 132.7lbs! Where did that number even come from? I think partly due to evening cardio last night and maybe not drinking enough water through out the day - but seriously.... holy fluctuations batman.
