The current manuscript sets out a position stand for blood flow restriction (BFR) exercise, focusing on the methodology, application and safety of this mode of training. With the emergence of this technique and the wide variety of applications within the literature, the aim of this position stand is to set out a current research informed guide to BFR training to practitioners. This covers the use of BFR to enhance muscular strength and hypertrophy via training with resistance and aerobic exercise and preventing muscle atrophy using the technique passively. The authorship team for this article was selected from the researchers focused in BFR training research with expertise in exercise science, strength and conditioning and sports medicine.

It has been a long time since last post… being very busy with many painting projects.
I have switched momentarily to oil painting, love the texture but still use acrylic for specific effects on other projects which demand that quality, texture & movement.
The birth of this painting was magical. It reflects the joys of our daily routine which usually go unnoticed.
The tree collection is thriving…
This one is called Happy to bring trees to our notice & appreciation.
I guess you can call it a work of gratitude.
Trees make life beautiful, it's alive, it grows, summer it gives shade, winter shelter from winds & storms, it (sometimes) nourishes, provides wood for all kind of purposes, gives oxygen, lightens our hearts in every aspect, decorates our outdoors, indoors, minds & souls,goes with the cycle of seasons a symbol of rebirth…
This is a reminder that We are lucky to be surrounded by them day in day out!

The Happy Tree – New oil painting project finally finished!
It has been a long time since last post… being very busy with many painting projects.
In a nutshell you write your own script
In a nutshell you write your own script.
This is a project very close to my heart and one busy simmering, maturing and elaborated to its last detail since about 2013.
The title says it all. The script on the nutshells were very carefully selected after long research. These came from very rare newspapers focusing on the positive changes in our environment.
The position of the nutshells represents life's journey, each one's path.
In the next posts you will get a chance at seeing the words close up. The last shell is about a seventy year old man climbing a mountain top.
The pieces on the sides are the unsuccessful scripts we have written and discarded as a writer does.
I am familiar with that concept… I have been writing since a young age.
(You can check my writing & poem category if you are interested).
We chose the music we play, the weather of the day, our kids schools and their success as a result of right choices made… You will all find it on this canvas.
The drip painting representing life's force will always be faithful to the Jackson Pollock's method that had and still has a tremendous influence on the works I display.
Note the half nutshell too… the close up of old, tired, tossed, undesired and repetitive scripts some whitened over…the (accidental) T shape.
You are the observer, free to use and enjoy the interpretation of your own experiences and perspective.

Angeles Arrien: Archetypal Forms and Forces (excerpt) — Thinking Allowed DVD w/ Jeffrey Mishlove
This video is the type you can watch a few times and each time,
listen to it differently, appreciate the depth and meaning
of her words a little more.
I found it on another blog but as I follow quite a few brilliant
bloggers, if I don't write down straight away its origin it gets
lost in the labyrinth of my brain, which was this time, the case 🙂
I hope you enjoy this as much as I did. Her way of explaining how
to get about creativity and how it happens, is just beautiful.
Have a lovely weekend!
Uploaded on Aug 26, 2010
NOTE: This is an excerpt from the two-part, 60-minute DVD.
Archetypal energies beckon us to live a larger life. We are all healers, warriors, visionaries and teachers — but often these potentials remain in latent form. Through song, dance, storytelling and meditation we can activate these archetypes.
Angeles Arrien, Ph.D., a cross-cultural anthropologist, is on the faculty of the California Institute of Integral Studies and the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology. She is author of The Tarot Handbook, The Fourfold Way and Signs of Life.

This smartphone with 18,000mAh battery, 7 day backup
|This smartphone with 18,000mAh battery, 7 day backup
Various unique gadgets were also introduced in Mobile World Congress. One of these is Energizer Power Max P18K Pop. This phone has an 18,000mAh battery. The phone is quite thick and its thickness is of 18mm. The smartphone kept for display was Dark Blue Kalk.
The screen of this phone is 6.2 inches and has a pop up camera. The bejals are low and not the Noch. In the pop up module for selfies, two cameras are given, not one. The advantage of the bigger battery is this. The company has claimed that it can use it once a week by charging it once.
The claim has also been made that if you watch videos consistently, it will last for 48 hours. This smartphone has 128GB internal memory with 6GB of RAM. It has a MediaTek processor and runs on Android 9 Pie. According to the company, it will take 8 hours for full charge. There is also fast charging support. The company has stated that if the charging was not given, then it may take more than 12 hours to charge.
At present, the company is preparing to launch this smartphone in the market. The company has said that it can be launched in the next two or three months. When asked about when will launch in the Indian market, the company said that we do not have any plans at present, but in the coming time, it can also be offered in the Indian market.
It is easy to use this phone, but this phone is quite heavy and thick. It seems you're using two or three smartphones together. Using one hand can be a bit tricky too. The user interface is similar to a common smartphone and the camera is descent.

Capturing Contentment in the Everyday…
We were going to wait until around today to get our tree, but I was afraid all the nice ones would be taken. The rest of the Haus needed NO convincing that last Saturday was Christmas Tree Day.
It's the biggest, most glorious tree we've ever had. We've never had the space for this kind of tree before! I was upstairs when Haus Meister was stringing the lights and when Rascal called me downstairs the above picture met my eyes. I almost cried, it was that beautiful.
I found my Christmas Card Wall. My Mom always taped the Christmas cards we received all over the kitchen walls–a pretty Christmas wall decoration. I've done the same in the apartment and then in the Old Haus. In the Old Haus we used the dining room for our cards, but here I wanted to use something a lot more visible to everyone (we eat in the kitchen while we still have white carpet in the dining room). So the foyer it is! Very festive.
Earlier this month Haus Meister was away on his last business trip of the year. During this time Princess decided to take a few naps in the evenings which led to her being up past bedtime. To while away the hours (and try to get some Christmas card writing done), I popped in my DvD of White Christmas. It was a hit with her! In fact, some nights I think she tries to stay awake so I can turn it on for her again! I skipped some of the dance sequences but that was fine; she likes the first half of the movie (really until they get to the Inn) and the last ten minutes. One night she came out and asked for "Bwack Christmuss." I told her she had her opposites mixed up.
Speaking of naps… when Haus Meister came home from work tonight, Sunshine didn't run to greet him as usual. I started looking for her and panicked a bit when she didn't materialize in some form of mischief in obvious places in the house. We hadn't gone outside because of the rain, so I calmed down as I peeked into the living room and saw she had tucked herself away in the chair…with the Christmas cookie batter bowl we had finished using….
They make me sleepy. Good night! 😉

Understanding High and Low Patient Experience Scores in Primary Care
Analysis of Patients' Survey Data for General Practices and Individual Doctors
Published in: The BMJ, v. 349, no. g6034, 2014, p. 1-11

OBJECTIVES: To determine the extent to which practice level scores mask variation in individual performance between doctors within a practice. DESIGN: Analysis of postal survey of patients' experience of face-to-face consultations with individual general practitioners in a stratified quota sample of primary care practices. SETTING: Twenty five English general practices, selected to include a range of practice scores on doctor-patient communication items in the English national GP Patient Survey. PARTICIPANTS: 7721 of 15 172 patients (response rate 50.9%) who consulted with 105 general practitioners in 25 practices between October 2011 and June 2013. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Score on doctor-patient communication items from post-consultation surveys of patients for each participating general practitioner. The amount of variance in each of six outcomes that was attributable to the practices, to the doctors, and to the patients and other residual sources of variation was calculated using hierarchical linear models. RESULTS: After control for differences in patients' age, sex, ethnicity, and health status, the proportion of variance in communication scores that was due to differences between doctors (6.4%) was considerably more than that due to practices (1.8%). The findings also suggest that higher performing practices usually contain only higher performing doctors. However, lower performing practices may contain doctors with a wide range of communication scores. CONCLUSIONS: Aggregating patients' ratings of doctors' communication skills at practice level can mask considerable variation in the performance of individual doctors, particularly in lower performing practices. Practice level surveys may be better used to "screen" for concerns about performance that require an individual level survey. Higher scoring practices are unlikely to include lower scoring doctors. However, lower scoring practices require further investigation at the level of the individual doctor to distinguish higher and lower scoring general practitioners.

Each time Traveller's Tales releases a new LEGO game they somehow manage to top the previous ones. Having created games based on Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, Lord of the Rings and Batman it's always fun to try and guess what their next game might be. Their latest effort is a take on the Marvel Universe and not only is it the best LEGO game to date it's also the best Marvel one too.
If you're a fan of the LEGO games then you'll feel instantly at home as much of the game feels familiar. There are a large number of characters to unlock (over 150!) which are a mix of superheroes and villains. Pretty much every Marvel Super Hero you can think of is present including Iron Man, Thor, Spider-man, The Hulk, Wolverine, Deadpool and Captain America. Similarly there are plenty of villains on offer too including Loki, Magneto, Doctor Octopus, Sandman and Dr. Doom.
Each character has their own special abilities so for example Iron Man can fly and shoot lasers from his hands. Spider-man comes with his spider-sense and web-slinging abilities allowing him to swing around the screen. LEGO Marvel also features big figures such as The Thing, Abomination and The Hulk.
At the start of the game Silver Surfer crashes on Earth and his board breaks up into cosmic blocks. Naturally these are just what Dr. Doom needs to build his Doom Ray of Doom, Loki has plans of his own and the heroes just want to stop them falling into the wrong hands. The pieces are scattered all over the world which is a perfect excuse to set levels in a variety of different locations.
The game is most fun in co-op and it starts you off with Iron Man and The Hulk. Both are a delight to play. Iron Man is ridiculously cool but The Hulk manages to be more fun. Leaping around the screen shouting HULK SMASH! while destroying everything he can get his giant fists on is endless fun. He can also pick up and throw large objects and doing so makes him feel even more awesome. At times you need to calm him down to turn back to Bruce Banner before getting him enraged again to turn back to The Hulk.
Combat is similar to in previous games but the different abilities of the characters helps keep it interesting. You are rewarded with studs for smashing stuff up and defeating enemies and there is a combo meter that rewards you if you take successive enemies down quickly. The more studs you collect the better because these can be used to unlock new characters.
Another benefit to having so many different characters and abilities is that these can be used in unique ways to solve puzzles. The LEGO games have always been family friendly so the puzzles aren't too taxing but more variety helps keep things interesting. Big characters like The Hulk are needed to smash or throw large objects, Iceman or Captain America can put out fire, Mr. Fantastic can change his shape into something useful and flying characters like Iron Man can get to hard to reach places.
The story behind the game works well and having so many characters in the same game just works. As will the other LEGO games Marvel Super Heroes is also packed with humour. You'll find yourself smiling most of the time you're playing and even laughing out loud on plenty of occasions. Fans of the characters and of the recent Marvel films will particularly enjoy the game.
In between missions there is a whole other game to explore. New York City provides the setting and is an open world for you to explore in Free Play. You can start by sky diving off the S.H.I.E.L.D Helicarrier down into the city. From there you are free to go off exploring and completing side-missions. There's always something to do and you'll likely spend longer playing around here than in the main missions.
Graphically LEGO Marvel manages to be the best looking LEGO game to date. The characters and their animation are the standout features but a lot of care has also been put into their voicework. The actual actors that play the characters in the films aren't used but the developers have ensured that they all sound like you're expecting them to.
If you're a Marvel fan then you simply need to own a copy of LEGO Marvel Super Heroes. There's something here for everyone from casual to hardcore fans and the game is packed with replay value. Traveller's Tales have managed to improve upon all their previous titles and also craft the best Marvel game we've ever played. We can't wait to see what they tackle next.

NEW DELHI: Domestic stocks consolidated in the week gone by as they failed to capitalise on a relief rally in US and European markets. Indecisive investors took profit at every interval, leading to a flat close for benchmark indices for the week.
On a weekly basis, the BSE Sensex inched up 0.01 per cent to 34,010.76 and the NSE Nifty fell 0.03 per cent to 10,452.30. This was against a jump of 4.25 per cent in US Dow Jones, 1.58 per cent in Japan's Nikkei and 2.9 per cent in German and UK indices.
Crude prices (NYMEX) went up 4.19 per cent to $61.68 a barrel. The rupee ended the week at 63.91 against the dollar over the previous week's closing of 64.37.
Coming to stocks, PSU banking and gems and jewellery counters were the worst hit, chiefly because of an alleged fraud of Rs 11,400 crore in Punjab National Bank, the second-largest state-owned lender. Automobiles stocks traded lower.
Here's a list of stocks that were in limelight all through the consolidating week.
PNB: The stock crashed 19.86 per cent during the week after the bank reported a $1.77 billion fraud at a Mumbai branch involving companies related to jewellery makers Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi. The RBI, meanwhile, has denied reports suggesting it asked the bank to pay counterparty lenders against the letters of undertaking (LoUs).
Gitanjali Gems: Shares of Mehul Choksi-led companies plunged 36 per cent during the week. The investigating agency CBI conducted searches at 20 locations of Gitanjali Group companies across five states on Friday . PNB has filed a second FIR related to instruments worth of Rs 4,887 crore issued to Gitanjali Group units Gitanjali Gems, Gili India and Nakshatra.
Vakrangee: After a big fall in the previous week, shares of Vakrangee surged 21 per cent this week after the company's board approved a one-time capital allocation policy, which suggests that the company intends to utilise two-thirds of its free cash flows towards dividend payout and share buyback.
MT Educare: The stock jumped 10 per cent for the week after after Zee Learn bought a controlling 44.5 per cent stake in the Mumbai-based company for about Rs 200 crore. The move triggered an open offer by Zee Learn to the shareholders of MT Educare for up to 1,86,64,096 share buy at a price of Rs 72.76, payable in cash.
Bhushan Steel: The scrip tumbled 15.3 per cent for the week. There are reports that Tata Steel trumped JSW with an aggressive all-cash bid for 5 million tonne Bhushan Steel and Power, one of the largest non-performing assets in the Indian banking system. The company's promoter Neeraj Singal has meanwhile questioned the whole process of auctioning off defaulting steel companies through NCLT (National Company Law Tribunal).
Nestle India: The shares rallied 9 per cent for the week after the FMCG major reported nearly 60 per cent spike in its fourth-quarter net profit, driven by a strong volume growth that also pushed its 2017 revenue beyond the Rs 10,000-crore mark. The Indian arm of Switzerland-based Nestle, which makes the Maggi instant noodles and KitKat chocolates, posted a profit of Rs 312 crore for the quarter ended December 2017, compared to Rs 195 crore a year earlier.
GVK Power: This firm fell 12 per cent for the week. There were reports that the company will raise up to $1 billion by issuing dollar bonds to fund greenfield projects and refinance existing debt. Besides, the company told the BSE that it entered into an agreement with Anagha Constructions and Visakha Constructions to sell and transfer the entire equity stake in three of its smaller subsidiaries.
Fortis Healthcare: It took a beating following the Supreme Court ruling that allowed lenders of the company to sell shares pledged with them by promoters Malvinder and Shivinder Singh. Five lenders – Yes Bank, Axis Bank, RBL, ECL Finance and Indiabulls Housing Finance – hold such pledged shares. The stock was down 7.3 per cent for the week.
GMR Infra: This stock tanked 6.7 per cent for the week after the company reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 565.94 crore for the quarter ended December 2017. The company had clocked a net profit of Rs 643.44 crore in the same quarter of 2016-17, it said in a BSE filing.

Ways in which Jaws Exercisers help in Oral Motor therapy
Oral motor refers to the way we use the muscles inside our mouth. It includes all parts of our mouth such as tongue, lips, cheeks and jaw. Just like any muscle, the ones tied to our mouth can be strong, week, coordinated or uncoordinated. Oral motor skills help us perform activities such as talk, eat, or drink from a straw.
Possible signs of a child needing Oral Motor Exercises
If the child has any difficulty coordinating their oral motor skills or underlying weakness, he/she may need oral motor exercises. Here are some red flags that indicate oral motor skills needing some attention:
- Food falling out of mouth while trying to eat
- Difficulty in chewing
- Mashing food with tongue
- Sucking food instead of chewing
- Holding food in mouth for hours
- Mouth is often in an open position
- Tongue hangs out of mouth
- Difficulty in sticking tongue out
- Difficulty learning to eat table and finger foods as a baby and toddler
- Difficulty in drinking from a straw (if over 24 months)
While this isn't a comprehensive list and doesn't indicate oral motor problems, these are some of the things you need to watch out for in your child.
Jaw exercisers are a great way to boost oral motor therapy in differently abled children. While giving them oral motor therapy, occupational therapists might want to start on smaller grades and gradually move to jaw exercisers. Once the child completes all grades of Bite Blocks, they can start with Jaw Exercisers. Each kit of these contains two firm, reusable Jaw Exercisers which address jaw stability, facilitate symmetrical jaw strength, and work on jaw grading through movement to ensure standard speech and sound development. The ability to visually judge how far you need to open your mouth to take a bite out of a certain and any food is called Jaw Grading. For instance, saying 'ooh' versus 'aahh' helps you determine the height difference in your jaw.
All these help those who are in need of additional tactile input. Jaw Exercisers available here are made from FDA approved materials and can be easily cleaned for multiple-client use. You can find Jaw Exercisers here at Help Them Shine.

We've created a simple and easy to understand Customer Journey for our partners - so that you know exactly what to expect when you work with us.
Almost all of our customers start working with Boyd Technologies somewhere in the design phase of their product development life cycle. As such, projects come to us in various forms of readiness for verification and validation, and eventually, commercial production.
In order to appropriately identify the scope of work that needs to be done, we begin with a robust information-gathering effort. During the information gathering stage of our journey, we try to gather as much existing information about you and your product as we can. This information is captured in our New Project Form, which you can fill out here.
Before starting the form, please gather the following information.
- Product Samples
- Product Description
- Project Timeline & Critical Milestones
- Three Year Forecast & Target Transfer Price
- Regulatory Requirements (Device Classification, GMP Requirements, Sterilization, Etc.)
- Part Specifications & Quality Requirements (Including testing and inspection requirements)
- Engineering Drawings
- Raw Materials (Bill of materials and supplier specifications)
- Packaging Specifications (final fill pouches or containers, cartons, cases)
- Label Requirements (Product and packaging)
As soon as the Information Gathering stage is complete, we can begin our process of creating a proposal for you. This takes approximately one or two weeks, depending on the complexity of the project and various inputs we need to gather from third parties, such as quotes for testing, raw materials, and packaging. Following that, we will craft a proposal for you that lays out your project scope and budget. Below are a few examples of our proposals.
Once you have reviewed the proposal and decided to move forward with Boyd Technologies, we will ask for an initial Purchase Order to begin our work. In some cases, we also execute a Manufacturing Services Agreement, which further clarifies the terms of our partnership.
At this point, we will ask for your initial purchase order to initiate the start of the project. Once we receive the purchase order, we will schedule a project kick-off call with you.
Our commercial engagements begin with the Proof of Principle stage. During this stage, we prepare our projects to move into our formal design control phases: Pre-Validation, and Verification and Validation, which will occur after Proof of Principle.
During Proof of Principle, we focus on two areas - material sourcing and product design. We use an iterative process to determine the inputs that will impact product form and function. This process is customer-centric, and it varies in both time and complexity based on each product and application.
Design control begins during our Pre-Validation stage. During this stage, we will establish the operating parameters we will use for the product's Verification & Validation. This work is accomplished through three types of production trials - Process Design, Edge of Failure, and Design of Experiment.
The results of our Pre-Validation work are important inputs into our design control documentation, which includes work instructions, part specifications and drawings, risk assessments (FMEA), verification and validation protocols, and a validation master plan. The result of Pre-Validation is a product that meets both form and functionality requirements and is properly designed for manufacturability.
All projects in the Pre-Validation stage are equipped with
- assigned program lead
- weekly conference call
- weekly program reporting
Process Design
During our Process Design trials, we determine the process design for commercial production.
Edge of Failure (EOF)
After Process Design is completed, we will conduct EOF trials. During our EOF trails, we will determine the minimum and maximum values of operating parameters with specified materials, including but not limited to tension, speed, and heat.
Design of Experiment (DOE)
After EOF is completed, we will conduct DOE trials. During our DOE trials, we will test the process input parameters and their interactions in order to optimize output. We will also test and inspect product requirements that will be used in regulatory filings such as seal strength, bio-compatibility, accelerated aging, moisture-vapor transmission rate, wear time, etc.
After verification is complete, we will begin validation, which is the final stage of product development. During this stage, we will validate any new equipment we have installed, as well as the tolerances of all manufacturing equipment, and finally, the ability of our process and equipment to produce the product consistently. This work is conducted through qualification trials - Installation Qualification (IQ), Operational Qualification (OQ), and Performance Qualification (PQ).
Installation Qualification (IQ)
During IQ, we exhibit that new equipment is working correctly and able to produce the desired product.
Operational Qualification (OQ)
During OQ, we test all tolerances of our manufacturing equipment with 95% confidence and 90% reliability. We challenge the upper and lower limits on our process parameters using minimum lot sizes of 32 and sample sizes of 29.
Performance Qualification (PQ)
During PQ, we validate that the defined process will consistently produce acceptable product under normal operating conditions. We will manufacture three production runs to show consistency based on ASQ sampling tables. We consider a production run either a defined lot size or one full day of production.
We transfer products to our commercial team through the onboarding stage, which begins during our Performance Qualification (PQ) - the final stage of Validation.
We begin our onboarding process with a kick-off call. During this call, we walk you through our way of working and introductions to our support team. This includes information on Order Fulfillment as well as opening Support Tickets (Customer Support, QA, etc.).
Following our kick-off call, your Point of Contact (POC) will stay in regular contact in order to ensure that our commercial engagement is now going smoothly. Eventually, your POC will transition into recurring business review meetings that typically occur once or twice a calendar year.
Once our onboarding is complete, and our commercial engagement is underway, we aim to continuously deliver value for years to come and fulfill our mission to Advance Health Care Together. A critical component of our mission is that we always act in the interest of long term partnerships. We do this by placing our customers in the center of everything we do with customer-centric marketing, sales, and service solutions.
Marketing: Resources, Technology Solutions, Customer Marketing & Advocacy
We believe in delivering value to our customers at every stage of our engagement. We do this by providing relevant resources, technology solutions, and pursuing customer advocacy initiatives throughout our relationship.
Sales: New Business Development, Next Generation Product Development, Networking & Partnership
We excel at understanding our customer's journey. Our goal is to meet our customers where they are in that journey weather that be early-stage product development, next-generation product development, or scale down manufacturing for a mature product.
Service: Order Fulfillment & Support, Product Life Cycle Management, QA & Regulatory Support
Ultimately, we believe our work together should be a seamless experience - whether we are supporting ongoing commercial production, various phases of product development, or quality and regulatory work. We use modern tools to facilitate this work, like our online project management tool and order fulfillment system.

Boom! You landed in a new page. Now, what comes first? Reading or Skimming (scanning / flipping through)?
No matter how professional your content is -> People Judge Your Blog Based on the Design!
Design is one of the most important parts of a complete content, and a key factor on
user's decision on what is he going to consume, remember and later on – use.
In the blog post you are about to read you are going to
1. Find key rules and principals for designing your content
2. Some cool sources & ideas for design
3. Get to know of some nice tools can be used for your design purpose
"Posts containing an image were much more successful in terms of re-sharing and virality."
Giving life to the latest post in your blog, change the appearance of your website, create a new template for a promotional email or prepare a social media infographic – it's all about GRAPHIC DESIGN.
Yes, easy saying – hard to perform, most unexperienced designers or people who just doesn't come from the field will go straight to the creative part and start immediately the design stage without recognizing that they are missing the CLEVER part.
Be wise – explore and plan
It doesn't matter what is the platform or the specific page you wish to design, before you DESIGN there is one thing you should be doing – ask yourself:
How will I benefit from designing this page? What will I achieve? What-is-my-goal?
There are variousanswers to the questions above, everyone aim somewhere else and has a different set of goals to his contents, and therefore the design, but there is one specific objective that is mutual: The design purpose is to create an environment, a flow to the text – make the reading easier and especially – clear.
"Aticles with an image once every 75-100 words got double the number of social shares than articles with fewer images."
The basic for every successful design:
It's evident that this post will practically talk about WordPress -> Not this time!
You can easily find an endless amount of guides for this platform. This is not what we are here for….
If you want to really know what are the key factors of a good design keep on reading.
1. Always design for your readers
Most designs start out with a brief, even if it is a personal project, a designer will often brief themselves with the basic information they need in order to get things right.
Every design has its own target audience – the people that will be viewing the post and its design and should communicate with it – so it makes sense to keep them in mind.
As mentioned above, one of the most important elements for any design to be successful is to make sure to ask the question "who am I designing for?"
2. Keep your blog design simple
When designing a blog or any other page, it can be tempting to go crazy. After all, you want your blog to stand out and for people to remember you.
"Doe's a 10 color palate spread all over your post can be harmful?"The answer is: Yes!Very Much!
Keep your blog design simple. Stick to no more than three colors, and three fonts (size, bolding, underlining and italic – are additional changes that you can use without adding another font or style).
– Use large fonts (at least 14px), short lines, new paragraph every 3-4 lines and a subheading after every 2-3 paragraphs.
– The best blog typography lends a meaningful purpose to the content while triggering emotions in your readers in the process. Besides picking a beautiful web font, make sure that different text elements have a different look and feel (main headings, subheadings, regular text, italic text, quotes, lists and so on).
TIP: Free WordPress themes such as "InterStellar" offer simple design
"Visual content is 40X more likely to get shared on social media than other types of content."
3. Use contrasting colors
Again – don't go crazy, keep to a simple color palette.
Contrasting colors can work well in the right design. A good rule of thumb will be that your blog will feature a main primary color, a shade of grey, and a color for your CTA (call-to-action).
This makes a flow and one clean understanding of how the blog "talks" with the reader.
4. Embrace spacing
A few spaces every once in a while will give room and "ventilation" to your content. Remember, sometimes less is more, so when finding inspiration before you jump to design and adding photosto your blog, don't be afraid of spaces – it can really enhance the design and keep it looking professional and clean.Don't be afraid to leave some parts empty where it warrants it.
TIP: Highlight key parts of the blog by using white spaces as borders.
5. Use Headers and Sub-headers
Headers and sub-headers will break up long blog posts, help people scan read your blog and convince them to read the post.
"71% of online marketers use visual assets in their social media marketing."
6. Keep your design goal-driven
Well, already said – this is basically the most important part in the process.
When writing a post, and especially when designing you must have three things in mind:
– Topic: What is your post about?
– Value proposition: What makes it unique?
– Audience: Who is your target audience?
If the purpose of your post is to get conversions – whether that's sales, signups, or enquiries – than everything else comes second.
For example, to get conversions, your blog design needs a strong CTA (call-to-action) as part of it's design.
*This can also be – headlines, buttons, or even arrows.
A goal-driven design will help your blog convert, and keep visitors coming back time and time again.
"Posts containing an image are 3 times more likely to have a high number of re-sharers than text only posts."
7. Constrain column width
Keep the blog post column width about 80 characters or less (including spaces) and your readers will thank you for it.
Wide columns of text are an instant turn off and very hard to read. Just think of it, reading a whole long sentences from one part of your screen to end of the other side of your screen – so much effort! Why?
Keep the text and design centered – the difference is incredible and it's such a simple change.
"Researchers found that colored visuals increase people's willingness to read a piece of content by 80%."
Graphic ideas & tools:
First thing first – Some really cool blogs I personally love and can be a good inspiration for you:
*These 3 are whole different from one to the other but all of them includes almost all key rules for a successful designed pages.
TIP: Use images to enhance your post by improving its flow, adding humor, or just explaining complex topics.
Simple as that – create your account, search and download thousands of high quality images.
Unsplash – Great quality!
Unsplash is a collection of completely free photos. They release a new bundle of 10 photos every 10 days.
One "problem" – there are so many amazing photos that it is hard to find exactly what you are looking for.
TIP: Scroll quickly through the site (it has infinite scrolling) and open each new photo in a new tab.
Flickr Creative Commons
If you need something more specific, Flickr Creative Commons is the right place to go. When doing an advanced search you can specify what licenses you want to search within.
**In most cases you need to attribute the photographer, but that's easy with a simple text link.
Additional ideas that can enhance the design:
– Icons: You can create simple, effective graphics just by adding a few simple icons to it.
– Sketch: Some of the best design styles are handwritten and organic – you know, nothing better than just going old-school and using a pen and paper!
– Note cards – easy and simple
– Quotes and Tweetables: Sometimes you say something so smart that you want to make sure everyone reads it. You can pull that out into a little graphic to show off just how intelligent your ideas really are.
Next & Previous Posts Feature –or- Popular Posts Feature Within Your Content
Once you read a blog, you are often wondering where to go next, if you enjoyed the post, you definitely want more – think of how to make the reader "convert" to other pages/posts of yours
Next & Previous Posts Feature is one idea!
Also, when listing your forever growing archive of blog posts, it's nice to display something that "breaks" the list up. Having a popular posts bar is a perfect idea to break up content. And it can gain you more traffic too!
Get a bit of "fame" – About The Author
When someone finished reading a post, it's nice to display a small Author bio. Nothing too long, but it's better that just having "Posted by Rob". A small avatar can make the bio look good too!
Use a Collage as a Background
Using a collage style background can really make your website stand out. Many websites do it, but only some do it well.
IMPORTANT: If you do go that way, make sure you don't go too far and create an insane collage that distracts readers from the content.
Quote Quote Quote
Everyone quotes things when writing on a blog. Styling your quotes differently from the rest of the content is a key. This makes interviews look ten times better!
"Infographics are liked and shared on social media 3X more than any other type of content."
Blog Design Tools
It's great for style guides, designing a logo, creating blog post images.
But – it can't do photo manipulation so I still have to supplement it with Photoshop.
*Paid, Mac-only
Canva is a free online tool that works surprisingly well for social media images and can be a great tool to create templates with and share them with your freelancers or team members.
They also offer templates and photos you can buy within the app.
*Free / paid upgrades, online
Don't misunderstand by it's name – this one is a quite serious design app.
It gives you a lot of freedom to create; from filters to brushes to fonts to stickers, it's all there. It seems like this app is more geared towards more experienced designers.
*Free and paid plans, online
Buffer's Pablo
If you don't want to be too creative and just want something that would help you create clean graphics, look into Pablo. It gives you very few options, but at least you'll be sure you won't over-clutter the design. It's perfect for quick Facebook and Instagram quotes.
*Free, online
More apps: https://www.incomediary.com/make-your-blog-stand-out-from-the-crowd
Even "the obvious" hasitsreplacements
As you probably know, WordPress is an online, open source website creation tool for arranging and designing your content and probably the easiest and most powerful blogging and website content management system today.
They don't need it but, I give my respect to WordPress. But, if you prefer trying something else, maybe cheaper of even FREE, here you can find some WordPress alternatives:
Last but not least: something to consider
Once you understand them– BREAK THE RULES!
A great teacher once said: "freedom through technique."
What that means is that you're free to break the rules of the system, only once you intrinsically understand what they are & why they exist.
Like the great painters who practice their brush strokes, or the musicians who play nothing but note scales on their instrument, doing exercises in technique is ultimately there so you can break out and find your own style.

New classes and new ideas.
So today saw the launch of the brand new Shimelle class 'True Stories''. The only pre-class prep was to get pen and paper ready and the pre-class video again stated pen and paper only required which in this world of grand technology is quite refreshing. I used to love writing letters especially. Every week, one of my days off involved me sitting and writing my letters for the week to grandparents, parents and friends. I used to tingle with excitement when the postman came with the replies and I still have most of my old letters in a box under my bed. It does make me sad sometimes to think I get so few letters these days, and only the odd card but I suppose we have changed. I talk to friends and family on the phone more now and briefly through emails. The most wiritng I do is on my blog and I don't always write there every day.
Anyway Shimelle's class is ALL about the writing. So I have chosen a book which I had had for a while and a matching pen. The prompts today were to think about some questions you may want to answer about yourself, like FAQs someone may want to know. Of course the aim will then be to scrapbook them so I have put my thinking cap on and so far have come up with a couple I feel I can share.
The first one is something which people come out with as a statement about me ''You are such a career woman''.............................. my response in my head other than ''WHAT ARE YOU WITTERING ON ABOUT?'' is usually ''Why do u say that because I'm not!''. I actually find the whole statement pretty offensive and it depresses me that people believe I live only for my career. Then I realise that basically they don't know me at all. My response is normally something like ''Well what else do you expect me to do? I have to earn a living and I haven't been fortunate to get married and have children, and I cant afford to go off and do something else so I have to do something in my job or else I'd stagnate''. So now I have to think of a way to put that question to myself. Mhhhhhh will need to put my thinking cap on again.
The second one is why have you stuck with nursing for all these years and how did it all start? Most people don't realise my grandma was a nurse in the 1930s and she was really the one who encouraged me. Plus I never thought of doing anything else really. So I will do some writing and expand on that one.
I can see this class being quite emotionally charged at times if I let it, so expect some tears before bedtime.
In other news, I have been picking up on various blogsites about this new app. For the Iphone which is being developed by Anam
I first heard about it on Rachel's blog and was intrigued and now several other bloggers have picked up on it so in the spirit of blog friendliness here are some factoids................
1. Currently the App will only work on the iPhone, iPad and iTouch - one app for all is what I believe.
2. There will be a Lite aka Free version with 12 sketches.
3. Each sketch has a sample layout and a supplies list.
4. The price will be $4.99 US for the full app and for that you get 104 sketches plus the 12 free ones.
5. The launch date is still early November - I am working towards the 11th of November all going according to plan.
It sounds like an exciting chance for us scrapbookers to have scrapbooking ideas on the move.

Loving the Owl layout on your blog. How very cute!!!!!
i'm really enjoying Shimelle's new class, although having some trouble with the question idea. Did come up with a snarky list of all those questions my darling children always ask (what's for dinner, etc.) and one big question (How do you get everything done?). Used some of the other prompts, too.ReplyDelete
ooh thanks for the tip about the app and great response to the question Jo!ReplyDelete
I am often asked about my nursing career too as I have posted on my blog. Maybe people can't understand why anyone would want to spend so many years working in the NHS!! I ask myself that question sometimes about myself!! LOL!ReplyDelete
I have only had a brief glance at the first prompt - need to have a bit of a think and see what I come up with.ReplyDelete
Do you need to make the font smaller on your blog header or have curly on one line and scrapbooker on the other? Not sure otherwise with this template.
Sorry, I can't help with the header question, but I do completely agree that writing letters needs to come back into fashion again. Soon!ReplyDelete
Hi Jo, love the little owls and the tree! So cute. I'm not sure about the heading, but I would imagine it's something in the HTML for the positioning of that line of text. Could ask Louise for help?ReplyDelete
Interesting thoughts about Questions... and people often do seem to assume things about others, without really thinking it through or taking the trouble to find out what really makes someone else tick. I suppose we're all guilty, at least sometimes, of assuming everyone sees the world in the same way as we do - or else they have to fit into our pre-made "people templates"!
That i-pod scrappy app sounds fab. But I don't have an i-pod and I don't think DH would love me for adding it to his!
Hello and thank you so much for stopping by. It is always a pleasure to read the comments I receive and to meet new friends. I try and reply to comments on friend's blogs as much as possible. I hope you have enjoyed reading my blog and look forward to seeing you here again soon. Love Jo xxx

I feel like I am waking from a long slumber in some respects.
Not physically. Physically, I am a wasteland of of insomniac damage. I audibly groaned when my alarm went off this morning and I could quite readily go to bed right now and sleep for hours. I was up most of the night with my thoughts and my chronic pain and my body craves sleep, although I should be focusing on work (and I'm writing personal revelations instead).
Physically, I'm a wreck.
But there is a part of me that lighting up like a suburban Christmas tree owned by an electrical engineer with far too much time on his hands and a perchance for rock songs (or Manheim, shudder) and synchronized light displays. I'm lighting up in a number of ways that I can't explain and it feels like I've been asleep or on a very, very long vacation away from home and the welcoming committee has pulled out all stops in celebrating my return. That's the best I can describe it — honest.
And the feeling is growing over time. It's a gradual process of shaking off the slumber: first the sunlight warms, then crosses my face as I nap my lengthy nap in a hypothetical bed, I blink and stretch. Then the tingling and need to stretch comes in as the sun warms me more and the muscles ask my how I could let them atrophy, become mere strands of meat instead of lean sinew and raw strength. I apologize and shake the fluff from my head, not sure where/who I am, and I yearn for the Minnesota snows that bury us as they do every year at this time to recede and free up the trees so I can walk amongst my brethren, touch the bark with meager flesh, feel the lifeforce coursing through me as raven's cousins, the crows, chat me up.
There are the rituals of my past that come to mind, but I've increasingly felt that ritual is putting an artificial barrier between me and… whatever you want to call it — spirit? It works as well as any other word, which are all the wrong ones anyway. So I think — no, no rituals… You jump in the ice-water flow of being, or you mime jumping in. One is experience, the other for the risk adverse.
What am I trying to say? Nothing really — I'm just trying to relate this familiar strange feeling that I haven't felt in decades and the aching desire to delve into the depths of whatever it is.

With Sir Kensington's Condiments with Character
Article by Allison Hudson
Photography by Ben Jay & The Feedfeed
With all the fresh foods and warm weather staples that we have on hand, it's not quite summer without one big bash to celebrate the classics - burgers & hot dogs, corn, lobster, ice cream, cold drinks and all the sides and sweets in between. We took that sentiment to heart this past June, and teamed up with our long-time brand partner Sir Kensington's to throw the ultimate Summer party for our NYC-based community at FeedfeedBrooklyn. While the season's classic repertoire of outdoor eats anchored the evening, it was Sir Kensington's condiments that truly took things to the next level. Have you ever noticed how the conversation at a Summer time party so often centers around favorite ways to dress up favorite foods?
As guests arrived at FeedfeedBrooklyn, they were greeted by Sir Kensington's own Trifecta Burger cart, which serves up what we must say are the condiment-lover's dream burger… they are triangular, to allow for dipping in multiple condiments! Sir Kensington's even developed a special bread loaf that perfectly fits the sandwiches. We loved the Trifecta Burgers with Sir K's Classic Ketchup.
Speaking of favorite condiments, there is perhaps no greater testing ground than the simple hot dog, which plays host to all variety of toppings. The best part is that there is no wrong way to complete a hot dog - the red-and-yellow combo, a single squiggle, or a complete conglomeration all qualify as the makings of a perfect dog. The extra-long variety served up by Brooklyn Hot Dog Co. made for some beautiful - and delicious - palettes!
If hamburgers and hot dogs are platforms from which condiments enthusiastically roar, the lobster roll is where they sublimely whisper. We honored the subtle and the bold equally during the party, working with the team at Greenpoint Fish and Lobster to offer a yang to the burgers and dogs yin. They served lobster rolls made with Sir Kensginton's range of mayonnaise, including organic and avocado-oil based.
We also loved sharing some of the Summer foods that really sing when condiments are included right in the heart of a recipe. We used Sir Kensington's in our own Feedfeed original recipes for easy appetizers and sides to compliment the dinner spread served at the bash.
Homemade Beer Pretzels with Sir Kensington's Spicy Brown Mustard
Mexican Street-style Corn Salad made with Sir Kensington's Avocado Oil Mayonnaise
Summer Salad with Sir Kensington's Dijon Mustard dressing
Potato Salad made with Sir Kensington's Mayonnaise
A big shout-out to Sixpoint Brewery for providing beer for our Summer Bash, and as always, a thank you to our studio sponsors, Room & Board, Bonterra Wines and Health-Ade, for making this an extra-special event.
Watch a recap of the event below!

Thick fog, cooler temperatures roll into Brevard
The thick fog that blanketed portions of the Space Coast overnight Thursday is expected to give way to higher winds as cooler temperatures settle in on Friday.
"It's only going to be in the upper 60s. It'll still be nice but cooler than what we've seen," said Jerry Combs, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Melbourne. Combs said another weather front Friday will bring the mildly chilly temperatures along with mostly cloudy skies and a slight chance of rain.
The cool weather, however, is not expected to last.
Temperatures will slowly rise into the upper 70s by Sunday before hitting 81 degrees on Monday.
Thursday, temperatures were expected to top out at 75 degrees.
Heavy fog also moved into Melbourne overnight Thursday, dropping visibility in some parts to just over one mile.
There were reports of the fog – along with low hanging clouds – lingering through the morning.
"It's been patchy. It should be dissipating by mid-morning but we've had some (fog) throughout the overnight hours," Combs said.

Guess what we found? Some of the kids flip top shimmery kids flip top cases, yes the original ones. Slightly tapered and sub so beautifully.
Personally these are my favorite (Marie here) and I have convinced Tamara to have a ticket drawing to get them out of the store so we don't have to move them. (haha)

The Being (it seemed wrong to call him a creature) stepped closer, his eyes liquid and warm. "Choose me as I have chosen you, and I will give you all your heart desires." What did he mean? She wanted desperately to please him, but how? And why would he choose her? No one like this, so beautiful and perfect, would ever wish to know a lowly girl like her. He seemed to see her doubt, for his eyes turned silvery with tears, and his image began to fade. "No, please! Don't leave me!" His voice now came to her as a whisper. "There is a key that will bring you to me, but you must first take hold of it."
Book: The Mirror of N'de: A Novel by L.K. Malone, Kregal Publications, 2011
Genre: Allegory
Target Audience: Girls 14+
Subjects: Salvation, truth, pride, judgment
Summary: As children sleep at night, they dream of a Being, someone wonderful and great. And they dream of N'De, the land spoken of in the legend taught to children of the Ramash. Hadlay is one such dreamer. Time and time again, the Being appears in her sleep and tells her to seek the key. But during the day things are much different. The Oresed rule over them in the Emperor's absence, a cruel, torturous rule. Then the Emperor himself returns, along with his son. Great things are promised. Equality among the Ramash and Oresed. Ways for the poor to be free of the tax burden placed on them. Ramash children chosen to serve in the tower. Hadlay is one of the children chosen and in fact is chosen specifically by the Emperor's son to be his friend. He personally assists her when the Oresed attempt to torment her and promises great help to her, her family and her friends. But her dreams tell her she is getting farther away from the key, rather than closer to it. What is this elusive key and how does she find it?
Notes: Written as an allegory, this book tells the story of a Being who created the world, loved those in it, sent them away from their perfect home when they sinned, and who even now seeks a way to bring them back to Him and willingly gives His life in payment for them. At the same time it feels like a mix between fantasy with all the magic occurring in it, and a medieval story with the characters working in all the rooms of the tower made to sound like a sort of castle. It does an excellent job showing how hard it is to find the Kingdom of Heaven. The characters start to believe that the evil one, is actually the great Being. They start to wonder if the tower could be N'De. The truth is polished over so it looks appealing and attractive to them, hiding the evil darkness behind it. It shows how hard it is for a person to follow truth and the sacrifices that come from it. I highly recommend this allegory for showing a picture of the Gospel message!
Spiritual Content Recommendation Scale:5/5
Reviewer: J:-)mi
Matthew 16:19 – I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

Supreme Court strikes down ban on political apparel at polling places
The Supreme Court on Thursday struck down a Minnesota law that bans all political apparel at polling places.
In a 7-2 ruling, the court said the state law violates the First Amendment's protection of free speech.
In delivering the opinion of the court, Chief Justice John Roberts said the law does not define what apparel is "political," a word he that said can be expansive.
{mosads}"It can encompass anything 'of or relating to government, a government, or the conduct of governmental affairs,'" he said, quoting Webster's dictionary definition, "or anything 'of relating to, or dealing with the structure or affairs of government, politics, or the state,'" he added, quoting the American Heritage Dictionary.
"Under a literal reading of those definitions a button or T-shirt merely imploring others to 'Vote!' could qualify."
Roberts, however, said that Minnesota polling places are nonpublic forums that, under the court's precedent, can be subject to content-based restrictions, "so long as the regulation on speech is reasonable and not an effort to suppress expression merely because public officials oppose the speaker's view,'" he said, quoting court precedent.
He said states must be able to articulate some sensible basis for distinguishing what can be worn and what can't.
As Roberts noted, all 50 states and the District of Columbia have laws curbing various forms of speech in and around polling places on Election Day.
Justices Anthony Kennedy, Clarence Thomas, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Samuel Alito, Elena Kagan and Neil Gorsuch joined Roberts in the majority.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor filed a dissenting opinion, which Justice Stephen Breyer joined.
Sotomayor said she would have sent the case to the Minnesota Supreme Court for a definitive interpretation of what constitutes political apparel.
"In holding that a polling place constitutes a nonpublic forum and that a state must establish only that its limitations on speech inside the polling place are reasonable, the court goes a long way in preserving states' discretion to determine what measures are appropriate to further important interests in maintaining order and decorum, preventing confusion and intimidation, and protecting the integrity of the voting process," she said.
"The Court errs, however, in declaring Minnesota's political apparel ban unconstitutional under that standard, without any guidance from the state's highest court on the proper interpretation of that state law."
At least nine other states — Delaware, Kansas, Montana, New Jersey, New York, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Vermont — have similar laws, according the Minnesota Voters Alliance, which brought the case challenging Minnesota's ban.
Andrew Cilek, the founder and executive director of the group, which claims to be dedicated to ensuring election integrity, sued state election officials after he was twice turned away from the polls for wearing a "Don't Tread on Me" T-shirt. He was ultimately allowed to vote after an election judge took his information to refer him to the authorities.
The shirt included a picture of the Gadsden Flag and a small Tea Party logo. Cilek was also wearing a "Please I.D. Me" button with the website and phone number of Election Integrity Watch. Minnesota does not have a voter ID law.
State officials argued the century-old dress code law is needed to prevent voter intimidation and maintain the integrity of the election process.
Cilek was represented by the Pacific Legal Foundation, a conservative legal advocacy group, and supported by the America Civil Liberties Union, which argued in a friend of the court brief that Minnesota's ban was far broader than necessary to address the state's compelling interest in protecting the right to vote.

Rating: 4.5 stars

Length: Novel
It's been three months since Detective Jared "Mac" Maclean was shot in the head. Three long, frustrating months of physical therapy, speech therapy, depression, shrink visits, and recuperating in a new home, with his new husband and their two kids. Mac is ready to get back to work, but there are still issues. He has trouble finding the correct words to use when he's in a stressful situation and the thought of someone coming up behind him with a gun terrifies him to no end. Because of that he is unable to re-qualify to return to the force, but will have another chance in three more months. At least he has Tony for support.
Tony Hart loves his husband, supports him unconditionally, even when he's scared out of his mind. He's relieved that he has Mac to himself at least for three more months so he tries to get mentally prepared for the reality that Mac will most likely be joining the force again. And when one of Tony's students finds himself in the middle of a murder investigation involving his father and his pseudo-step-father, Tony is conflicted when Oliver asks for Mac's help. On one hand, Mac could be put in danger again, but on the other hand, there is no one that Tony trusts more to help the young man and his family. And Mac's role as consultant on the case is minor compared to what it would be if he were on active duty. Still, working on his weaknesses that kept him from re-qualifying, attempting to protect Tony when he has troubles at work, dealing with a death in the family that brings his own haunted past into his present, and anticipating Tony's adoption of Ben keep Mac pretty busy as he continues to help search for a missing father and a murderer.
Have you met Mac and Tony yet? If not, you definitely should. If so, you are going to love this book. Kaje Harper has taken me on a journey from closeted cop meets out and proud teacher through their fears, heartbreak, and healing to their marriage and growth of their small family, to a debilitating injury and the subsequent healing. This series as a whole is wonderful and not to be missed.
What I love so much about this book and this series is that it doesn't focus solely on the investigation, but the romance and the family aspect takes an active role in this book. It's the beauty of real life – fears, insecurities, vulnerabilities, happiness, growth, joys. The addition of Mac's family and the ghosts of his past are a huge part of this story, but again, bring a great amount of healing. It is a beautiful story of life, fears, and healing.
And if you haven't realized yet, I absolutely adore Mac and Tony. The further we delve into the series, the stronger Mac and Tony grow. After all they've been through, Mac and Tony are a force to be reckoned with. And they are one of my favorite couples ever. I love the strength they show together, but the vulnerabilities and insecurities they emanate individually. It makes them real, human, believable. Like I said, I love them so much.
As always, Harper has a way with words. I was engrossed immediately. The story is very involved and paced perfectly. The book itself is lengthy, but by no means boring. I enjoyed this story from beginning to end. I also love the incorporation of family life into the mystery. This mystery is heartbreaking and hits close to home for both Tony and Mac. It's intense in places, and very well planned. It's very good.
Obviously, I adore this book and this series. It's a series that caught me by surprise and held onto me until the very end. Now, I have heard rumors that this is the last book in the Life Lessons series. Not sure. I do know that if it is, it's a great ending to a wonderful series. If it's not, I look forward to what comes next for the Hart-Maclean household. I adore these characters and the mysteries in each of the books. But most of all, I love the growth and strength shown in Mac and Tony's family and lives. I highly recommend Learning Curve by Kaje Harper. The entire series is a definite must read.

Forget the PAW Patrol and Frozen-themed birthday bashes. Six-year-old Leah from San Antonio really knows how to host a cool party.
This adorable super-fan is undoubtedly Drake's No. 1 supporter because she asked her mom, Alexis Gomez, for a Drake-themed birthday party. "[Leah] loves everything about his music. She recently said she wanted to marry Drake when she's older," her mother told Buzzfeed.
Although she may not be from The 6ix, she definitely was on her best behaviour and represented for her 6th birthday party. It was complete with black and gold OVO-themed décor, birthday cake, balloons and party favours. There were even mini Hennessy bottles as balloon weights!
Leah was all dolled up in an OVO sweater, gold chain, Timberlands and a gold bow to top it all off. What started this whole idea? It was a T-shirt that she just had to have, with Drake's Pop Style lyrics, "Turn my birthday into a lifestyle" on it.
A friend who attended the party, Abby Marquez, tweeted the pictures, which got some hilarious (and jealous) responses, including "OMG I'm literally dying [right now] she's so cool" and "I wish I was 6." Check out the other funny comments below.

"She loved her party and was smiling from ear to ear the entire time," Leah's mom said. And we totally would be too—it looked pretty awesome.
Someone should get this girl a meet-and-greet as the ultimate belated birthday gift, am I right?

The plot grows sicker.
A prominent Manhattan doctor was accused of groping a second Mount Sinai Hospital patient before surrendering Tuesday for allegedly masturbating onto another woman's face, the Daily News has learned.
Dr. David Newman turned himself in on charges that he ejaculated on a patient knocked out by a shot of morphine that he delivered personally in the hospital emergency room.
Newman, 45, showed a stone face and declined to speak as he walked into the NYPD Special Victims Squad in Harlem — and again as he was led away in handcuffs four hours later.
The doctor, an Iraq War veteran and published author, was arraigned on sexual abuse and forcible touching charges in both cases Tuesday evening.
Newman, whose wife skipped the arraignment, was held on $150,000 bond over $50,000 cash bail.
A second woman who went to Mount Sinai for medical help in September — four months before the alleged Jan. 11 incident surfaced this weekend with her own tale of sexual misconduct by the Montclair, N.J., doctor.
The 22-year-old woman contacted police Saturday and reported the earlier attack, a source told the Daily News. The report to cops came after The News broke the story on the masturbation incident.
The patient claimed she went to Mount Sinai suffering from a severe head cold Sept. 21, and Newman's "treatment" included fondling her breast, according to court papers.
Newman has yet to make any comment on the vile charges against him. Hospital officials confirmed Tuesday that he remained on suspension as the investigation goes forward.
Authorities want a court order for a sample of Newman's DNA to compare it with evidence taken from the gown that his alleged second victim was wearing on Jan. 11.
The woman said she used the gown to wipe the semen off her face, and placed it — along with a blanket that she used to clean up — inside a plastic bag, authorities said.
The patient was complaining of shoulder pain when she was taken to a private room inside the emergency room at Mount Sinai.
After nurses gave her two pain pills and a shot for inflammation, the patient was given a morphine shot by one of the nurses after complaining of more pain.
She was then told to change into a gown for X-rays. The woman was still dressed in the hospital garb when Newman walked into her room.
"I'm going to give you a shot of morphine," the doctor told her, according to sources familiar with the woman's claims.
The patient says she told the doctor that a nurse had already administered the drug, but she then felt a burning sensation in her arm that convinced her that Newman shot her up with more morphine anyway.
Newman then began fondling her breasts after the woman complained about pain on the right side of her chest, sources said.
Newman moved her bed away from the wall and positioned himself with his back toward the patient. She heard the sounds of someone masturbating — and then felt semen on her face, she claimed.
All the while, she was unable to react because she was heavily medicated, sources said.
A friend and fellow medical professional came to Newman's defense. "I feel so bad for Dr. Newman being dragged through the mud on this," said David Cundiff of Whistleblowerdoctor.org.
Newman is due back in court Feb. 23.

Major backup on I-95 cleared
A major backup on Interstate 95 southbound slowed traffic to a crawl near the U.S. 202 interchange early Friday afternoon.
Delaware Department of Transportation trucks were seen blocking the movement of vehicles on the interstate near the Wilmington exits. DelDOT spokesman Geoff Sundstrom said crews were out on the expressway to repair a dangerous pothole that had been spotted.
The work usually takes about an hour, he said, and is necessary in order to keep vehicles from being damaged while traveling at high speeds. The recent fluctuations in temperatures likely caused damage to the roadway.
"This is the time of year these usually occur," he said.
A DelDOT camera at 202 showed traffic inching southbound toward downtown Wilmington. By 2 p.m., the work had finished and traffic was again moving at highway speeds.

"It's nice to see some investment coming back here. It will let people know that we are open for business in north Notts. Given the uncertainty right now, 500 jobs coming is here is very welcoming."
Butternut Box currently operates two separate sites for manufacturing and fulfilment but Symmetry Park will facilitate a move to an end-to-end, in-house operation.

Over last 12 months the business has received more than £20 million from investors.
David Nolan, Butternut Box's co-founder, said: "We are incredibly proud and excited to be making this investment in the long-term future of our company.
