PEYTON WICH JOINS VOICES FOR CHILDREN FOUNDATION
It was Monday, in Miami. We received a call from a former MTV producer from Europe. He was doing a TV show in Miami with Peyton Wich, one of the stars of Stranger Things on Netflix. We immediately asked him if we could steal a couple of hours of Peyton and film a commercial for Voices For Children.
"Guys, I don't know, it's complicated… Well, send me the script, he will be off on Wednesday morning for 3 hours, maybe we can convince him to do it". We worked against the clock. We sent him a script in record time. Peyton loved it, he was down to do it. The team of the TV Show helped us to pre-produce and make it happen. So in just 3 hours, Payton learned the script, the team filmed it in one take and we created a commercial that was a big success in the community.
Silver Best CSR Campaign
The commercial wanted to engage young generations. So Peyton's participation was a blessing and helped us rise awareness of and recognition for the thousands of children who are abused, neglected, or live in poverty in Miami. Peyton's presence and the impactful text also got the attention of the media: they mentioned the campaign and the collaboration of one of Hollywood's most loved actors at the time with our foundation.
An emotional and touching script that plays between two worlds: fiction and reality. Sometimes we forget that "reality can be very tougher, sad and… stranger than fiction".
The campaign became very popular. Peyton, a touching script, and a good cause were the ingredients for this success. The American Marketing Association'awarded us with Silver in the category of "Best CSR Campaign". An award that we shared with Voices For Children Foundation: their generous and impactful work is beyond comparison. We were only the channel to make their cause known.

Aims of the Foundation
One of the principle aims of the Foundation is to rediscover the spiritual relationship between mistletoe and Druidic philosophy. Here we may be able to establish an understanding of the hidden mysteries of our tradition and work with the polarities in order to create a true balance within the human understanding of deity. This is not to affirm the dualism of polarity, but to move beyond the extreme polarisation that is held within the revealed religions, with their bias towards god or goddess, right or wrong, good or evil … and find the power of true connection. Addressing this in many ways, the Foundation looks at mythology, herb lore, ritual and magic, finding congruence and relevance, securing the place of this sacred plant in the sacred traditions of the present and the future. Allowing personal interaction on a hands-on level, another key aim of the Foundation is to encourage the propagation of mistletoe within our sacred Groves, exploring the botany of this precious plant. This in itself will be no easy task, the plant has a reputation for being extremely difficult to germinate and as the Foundation unfolds this will become part of the learning process.
However, individual modern-day Druids have had some success with this venture, so we know that it is not impossible or indeed implausible. Environmental issues are another prime concern of the Mistletoe Foundation. These concerns involve the protection of habitats that are still able to host mistletoe, and to provide a database that details its distribution and apparent decline in the Midlands and Northern Britain. Obviously, any oak trees that may still sustain mistletoe would be regarded as sacred within a Druidic context and therefore we would endeavour to secure their protection. Sources of Inspiration The Mistletoe Foundation was inspired by the ancient roots of our tradition and, through its work, we shall build a bridge from our illustrious heritage into the twenty first century. In doing so, our journey is one which lays great value on 'walking our talk'. We know from Classical accounts that mistletoe was held to be deeply sacred by the Druids, especially when discovered upon an oak tree. On the sixth day of the new moon closest to the Winter Solstice, it was harvested with great ceremony as an offering to the gods. It would seem that this was a pivotal date within the ancient Druidic calendar, using a natural albeit very unusual parasitic plant species. It is this sacred act, the rite of cutting the mistletoe, which lies at the heart of the Foundation. Perceived as an offering of cosmic male fertility to the goddess of the land, of the sacred womb of creation, the rite is a metaphor expressing the union from which nature emerges. Sacred Connection Mistletoe contains many healing properties including the ability to combat various types of cancer.
Often referred to as All Heal in old texts and folklore, it is believed that we have merely scratched the surface with regard to its medical applications and potential. Concerning its relationship with the human condition, mistletoe has always exuded energies of a very positive nature upon our psyche. From the joy and goodwill of kissing beneath a sprig of mistletoe at the Christmas or Midwinter party, to simply bringing it into the home as an expression of the festive season, we have for thousands of years in continuity looked upon this plant as an inspiration to bring the benevolent side of our human nature to the surface. In its power we see reflected the beauty of nature's rite of union. It teaches us of gentleness and power, connection and joy: we express it in the wonder of that festive kiss which begins a new cycle of the growing year. Just as its physical qualities can heal, so its spiritual quality – its energy – heals too, allowing us to open our soul to the deepest lessons about relationship, inspiration and creativity. Through our reverence for nature, with the language of Druidry, we look then to the mistletoe as a teacher and a guide.
MISTLETOE: THE DRUID HERB
It's all going on between the leaves, there from midwinter, through early spring and to the equinox, on the female plant the berries sit betwixt last year's stems and her flowers between the leaf nodes are busying themselves in readiness to produce next winters lunacious spheres. Between each pair of leaves a three headed flower waits for the pollen to be carried from the male plant. The berry almost never grows between the leaves and forms from last year's flower.
From the land of timeless wonder, the land of promise, where all lived together in peace in a world of abundant beauty; there comes a guide, holding over his shoulder a branch, a branch that has growing upon it both flowers and fruit, a branch which sings healing and peace to all those who hear its song.
It is with this branch that the chosen hero of the tale can walk into the Otherworld to meet divine beings or find insight and understanding to bring back to the physical world and fulfil a destiny.
This branch, sometimes call the "Hero's Bough" or the "Silver Branch" is considered magic and of another world, but we only need to look at the English Mistletoe (Viscum album) to find a plant that has both ripened fruit and pollinating blossom at the same time of the year. Is it that the branch of legend is our mistletoe?
Mistletoe stands alone in the kingdom of the plants.
The only seed that germinates in the light, well it doesn't germinate so much as wait for the vernal equinox then hatch.
It is unaffected by the gravity of the earth.
Constantly growing, this deciduous and evergreen woody shrub has no growth rings.
Heals by poisoning.
Is it because of the differences that mistletoe was seen as living outside of the three realms?
Is it thus that the mistletoe was overlooked by Frigg when she asked all that lives in land, sea or sky to never harm her son.
Another Goddess of love, Aphrodite, guides her son to the mistletoe in order to gain access to the underworld, likening the roll of the mistletoe to the silver branch of celtic legend.
Of the link to druidry and mistletoe in a chapter by Pliny the Elder he states: "The druids held nothing more sacred than the mistletoe and the tree that bears it."
The Mistletoe Foundation believes in the magic of mistletoe and through public ceremony honouring the plant and the sacred land it grows above. With talks, planting days, art exhibitions and taking mistletoe and druidry into schools the Mistletoe Foundation is opening the awareness of both to a wider audience and a greater understand of each into the future.

Moving On: abuse survivors tell the world
Published March 28, 2007 August 27, 2012 AuthorDeborah Marshall
Former child victims of institutional abuse are learning to live with their trauma thanks to a unique project combining drama and counselling.
The project was prompted by the 1999 report of the Commission of Inquiry into Abuse of Children in Queensland Institutions. It uses drama to offer a safe environment for survivors of childhood institutional abuse to tell their stories without being traumatised again.
The group will tell their stories with a theatre performance Memoirs of the Forgotten Ones at the Metro Arts Theatre on Friday, March 30 and Saturday, March 31 at 7.30pm.
The performance marks the end of the three-year project – Moving On – a joint initiative of Griffith University and the Aftercare Resource Centre (a program of Relationships Australia).
Project leader Professor Bruce Burton, from Griffith's Education Faculty, said many of the participants had major life changes since beginning the project in October 2003.
"Some have taken up further study, jobs or volunteer work with other people," he said.
"Our group has certainly shown much greater self-confidence, self-esteem and ability to take control of their lives – much of which they have attributed to the program.
"Many of the participants wanted to do a major theatrical production to tell the world what's happened to them and to get a sense of closure."
Professor Burton said drama had been used for many years as a major therapeutic tool in helping people deal with difficult or traumatic experiences in a safe environment by enabling them to explore their stories through re-enactment.
"But this is the first time that drama has been used in conjunction with counselling to help victims of institutional childhood abuse."
The project was funded by a $60,000 Australian Research Council Linkage Grant.

I like FileSeek quite a bit, but I would like to default to bigger text in the results window. My aging eyes don't deal well with that tiny font. I know I can enlarge it by ctrl-scroll, but it's not a sticky zoom, so when I am scanning through a list of targets, it's a pain to ctrl-scrl for each one.
In the Settings > Advanced Settings window, you can use the "Fonts: Default Font Size" option to increase the size. The default is 11.5, so I'd start with something like 12.5 or 13 and then tweak from there. Note that you'll have to restart FileSeek each time you change that setting, as the fonts are loaded on startup.
Good idea. Unfortunately, this seems to enlarge all the fonts (a good thing) _except_ for the viewer pane (a bad thing). I really need that viewer pane enlarged.
That is excellent news. Just knowing it's "on the list" makes the problem easier to put up with.
Excellent. I'll download it right now.


We'll be taking the opportunity to shed some light on why Containers are the exciting new technology many enterprises see as their future at our upcoming Oreta x Google Cloud event in Melbourne on Tuesday 7th of May. You can read more information here.
Are Virtual Machines and Containers the same thing?
What are Containers and why are they important?
Are Containers just another form of virtualisation?
Are Containers and Docker the same thing?
Kubernetes: What it is and what it is not?
How Kubernetes can help you deploy and scale your containers and applications as container adoption evolves.
How Microservices and Service Mesh (Istio) pair together for Cloud-Native apps.
Nearly every cloud vendor has plans to evolve to a Container ecosystem.
Google Cloud at their Next '19 event in San Francisco has dedicated 46 sessions solely on Hybrid Cloud, Kubernetes, Containers and Service Meshes. Nearly every hardware, software or cloud vendor including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, VMware, Red-Hat, Cisco, IBM etc. are heavily invested, have tailored offerings, or have a road map that includes plans on how their products will evolve to cater to the Container ecosystem.
If we look at the Cloud-Native Foundation (CNCF) landscape and follow the trends, Kubernetes, Containers and Service Meshes form the key ingredients for a true Hybrid Cloud solution. There are big bets and predictions that as the Container ecosystem matures, Kubernetes will be widely adopted as "the defacto abstraction layer" mainly due to its strengths in abstracting away the hardware making it easy to run applications (workloads) in a seamless and standardised way on any supported Public Cloud or on-prem infrastructure.
Why is all this important to you?
It's no secret that infrastructure modernisation has entered the mainstream and the adoption of Containers and Kubernetes is on the rise for Cloud-Native applications. While most organisations have either heard about Cloud-Native and Containers or understand its importance, most struggle with how to get started.
VMware (founded in 1998) were slowing shaping the IT infrastructure landscape, and in 2004 their introduction of ESXi type1 hypervisor opened possibilities that were never imagined. VM virtualisation was in full steam, and at that time too, many dismissed this virtualisation trend as some fad - but we all know how that turned out.
In 2006, AWS on the back of this VM virtualisation (Xen and later KVM) technology changed the landscape of how infrastructure was going to be delivered and consumed and that shift gave rise to true cloud computing; there were many doubters of this trend too.
In 2013, Docker Inc popularised the concept of Containers by taking the lightweight Container runtime and packing it in a way that made the adoption of Containerisation easy. Even today there are many naysayers.
In 2014, Kubernetes was open sourced by Google Cloud, and this is one of the fastest growing open-source projects.
In 2018, Istio was formed to provide "traffic management, service identity and security, policy enforcement and telemetry services" out of the box delivering another level of abstraction. At Google Cloud Next'19 there have been many sessions that show how Istio's adoption is increasing developer productivity and observability.
All these advancements in hardware abstraction have led to a paradigm shift in the way IT Infrastructure is delivered and consumed. These improvements in infrastructure delivery and modern forms of infrastructure abstraction, right from the early days of Cloud Computing (Infra as code) to Containers (Docker), Container Orchestration (Kubernetes), Service Meshes (Istio), have fundamentally changed the way organisations, including cloud vendors, build and operate systems.

John Everett Butt, FBA (12 April 1906 – 22 November 1965) was an English literary scholar, known for his work on Alexander Pope. He was Regius Professor of Rhetoric and English Literature at the University of Edinburgh from 1959 to 1965.

The son of a doctor, he attended Shrewsbury School and Merton College, Oxford, switching from medicine to English language and literature and graduating in 1928.

Butt was employed as an assistant lecturer at the University of Leeds in 1929 and then briefly as an assistant librarian at the University of Oxford in 1930, before being appointed in that year to a lectureship in English at Bedford College, London. He remained there until 1946, though his tenure was interrupted by temporary appointments at the Ministry of Home Security and the Home Office during the Second World War. In 1946, he was elected Professor of English Language and Literature at King's College, Newcastle, then part of Durham University. He remained there until taking up the Regius Professorship of Rhetoric and English Literature at the University of Edinburgh in 1959, in which post he remained until his death in 1965 at the age of 59.

Butt's contributions to academia began with his first published article on Alexander Pope in 1928. Four years later, he was appointed general editor of Methuen's Twickenham edition of the Works of Alexander Pope, an 11-volume series published between 1939 and 1969. A condensed version was edited by Butt himself as The Poems of Alexander Pope (1963) and he edited other versions of An Epistle to Dr Arbuthnot and Imitations of Horace. He also translated some of Voltaire's works, and authored Augustans and Romantics, 1689–1830 (1940), The Augustan Age (1950), and Dickens at Work (1957). With Kathleen Tillotson, he was from 1958 editor of the Clarendon Press's Dickens series and was an influence on The Letters of Charles Dickens project which began in the year of his death. He had been undertaking work on the mid-18th-century volume of The Oxford History of English Literature, which was continued by Geoffrey Carnall. He was editor of The Review of English Studies (1947–54) and gave the British Academy's Warton Lecture in 1954; he was elected a fellow of the academy in 1961 and was the subject of a posthumous Festschrift, published in 1969.

Tottenham Hotspur News
Mauricio Pochettino - the man to follow in the footsteps of Bill Nicholson & Keith Burkinshaw
It's exactly three years to the day since Tottenham Hotspur appointed Mauricio Pochettino as their manager
Alasdair GoldTottenham Hotspur correspondent
Mauricio Pochettino has transformed Tottenham Hotspur
"This is a club with tremendous history and prestige and I am honoured to have been given this opportunity to be its head coach."
Those were the first words uttered to the world by Mauricio Pochettino after he was appointed as manager of Tottenham Hotspur on May 27, 2014.
Three years on and the Argentine is no longer the head coach, he's very much the manager and the team he has developed is a world away from the inconsistent, soft-bellied Spurs of old.
Pochettino inherited a fractured, unhappy outfit from Tim Sherwood, one that had pockets of talent within its squad but too many egos and a mental fragility that meant that when it came to the big games, they were only one mistake away from a collapse and a heavy defeat.
The new man gave everyone a chance, watched them carefully in his first season before dispensing with the ego and those who did not want to follow the clear path he had in mind and today the results are clear.
The current manager has moulded a team in his own image. The Sante Fe-born son of a farm labourer demands hard work at all times from his players. It's the way he was brought up and the example set to him as a child. Farming, football, what's the difference - hard work reaps rewards from any field.
(Image: Shaun Botterill/Getty Images)
It's a cliche, but Pochettino really is the first into the club in the morning and the last to leave. He works hard and sets the tone. If he can do it, why can't his players?
The striker Dani Osvaldo played for Pochettino at both Espanyol and then Southampton.
"He makes you work like a dog," he once said. "Sometimes you feel like killing him, but it works."
Football is littered with clashes between players who just could not deal with tough managers who worked them until every last bit of energy was expended. Nobody loves a taskmaster or do they? For Pochettino seems to be able to demand that his players follow him to the very edge and beyond and they willingly do so.
'The club can only do so much!' Kyle Walker sent firm message ahead of expected Man City transfer
The 45-year-old has that charm about him, an incredible work ethic and determination that is offset by a smile and praise at precisely the right moment.
He treats the media as he does anyone else. Ask him a question that he doesn't like and you'll get shot down pretty quickly, but it's never with malice. After one press conference he called a journalist over to discuss one of the questions. It was no dressing down, just a moment to understand each other's point of view.
Mauricio Pochettino enjoys some of his dealings with the media
When Pochettino is enjoying himself, it's hard to stop him talking - despite his press officer's best efforts to end a long-running press conference - and he lays on the charm in bucketloads.
One journalist once joked (well half-joked) that he sometimes deliberately stands on the end of the scrum of media that approach Pochettino's desk for the written part of his press conferences, just for the little squeeze that the manager will give the arm of the man on the end as he exits the room once the questions are done.
It's that connection that the Argentine forges with people that allows him to get his work done. He's as interested in the person as the results and he forges close relationships with those around him, as has been clear with the way he's spoken in the aftermath of events such as the tragic death of Ugo Ehiogu, the horrific injury to Ryan Mason and the personal battle Aaron Lennon has been going through.
Nkoudou's promise, Son, Sterling, Lesniak and Janssen - 5 talking points from Kitchee v Spurs
The players love him and he's become the glue that's binding this current squad together, more so than the state-of-the-art training facility or the new stadium on the horizon.
"I wish he was my manager from when I was 18," admitted Danny Rose on 5Live on Friday. "The kids don't realise how lucky they are to have a manager like the one we've got now."
Harry Kane is among the many players Mauricio Pochettino has brought on in leaps and bounds
The good feeling has translated into results on the field and the league finishes have improved every season, fifth to third to second despite the enormous disparity in wages and transfer fees between Spurs and the other clubs fighting it out for the title.
The way Pochettino's team sent off White Hart Lane in its last season will also never be forgotten and neither will that video clip of him struggling to hold in his emotions during the finale, bursting with pride.
Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United and Manchester City have all been beaten during the Pochettino era, although Liverpool have proved a tougher nut to crack with their similar pressing style under Klopp.
'Kazaiah Sterling is better than Raheem Sterling, he is the future of Tottenham Hotspur' - Reaction to debut from fans
At the end of last season, Pochettino said: "I think Tottenham today is in a very good place.
"We have an unbelievable training facility, we are building a new stadium, we have exciting young players and our supporters are fantastic.
"For the players, I think they feel at home here – and me too. I feel the same.
"Our supporters need to enjoy the present and not be worried about the future – because the future here is very bright. The potential is massive."
Mauricio Pochettino has a close bond with the Spurs fans
The next item on the agenda for Pochettino is silverware. He's now getting global recognition for what he's achieved with all three of the clubs during his managerial career, but ultimately history will judge him on the trophies he's won.
He's always testy when the subject of Guardiola comes up and the comparison of their time as young managers in Spain, a feeling that Pep was handed the keys to the kingdom and couldn't fail with the players he had, while Pochettino performed a footballing miracle to keep Espanyol in La Liga.
Now he's become the man who develops young players and instills a winning mentality in them, at first Southampton and Spurs.
But while he admits publicly that he does not crave silverware, he knows he needs it to be considered one of the world's best.
The two Tottenham managers of the modern era who still overshadow him, Bill Nicholson and Keith Burkinshaw, both required a couple of years to build their team and implement their strategy before the top flight trophies arrived.
The fans will be hoping that history repeats itself and May 27th will, in years to come, be known as the date when Tottenham Hotspur's return to the glory, glory years began.

Jimmy Kimmel Is About to Become Your Kid's Favorite Author
Bed time is about to get a lot more hilarious.
by Catherine Santino
Jimmy Kimmel is many things: comedian, host, producer, and now: children's book author. The 51-year-old late night television star announced that he's written and hand-illustrated a picture book, The Serious Goose.
"Inspired by Jimmy's nickname for his kids, THE SERIOUS GOOSE encourages readers to embrace their silly side," the press release reads. "A Mylar mirror adds to the interactive fun and challenges kids to try to make Kimmel's no-nonsense goose smile. Kimmel's foray into publishing features not only his humorous text, but his own hand-drawn illustrations. In Kimmel's words, he is 'an amateur illustrator who tortured his editors because he doesn't know how to use digital equipment.'" Kimmel's not the first late-night funny man to channel his way with words into a children's book. In 2015, Jimmy Fallon released the title, Your Baby's First Word Will Be Dada.
What's better, Kimmel's book is also all being done for a good cause. All proceeds from sales will be donated to Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) and children's hospitals around the country. The donations are being made in honor of Kimmel's son Billy, who was born with a rare heart condition and underwent lifesaving surgery at CHLA. Since his two-year-old son's birth, Kimmel has been a huge advocate for accessible healthcare. During an episode of his late night show in December 2017, he called out Congress for failing to renew funding for CHIP (Children's Health Insurance Program), an affordable healthcare program.
The Serious Goose will be published in December 2019 and is available to pre-order now.


I am fairly certain that the affect of losing personnel as prisoners of war is taken into account when adjusting National Will and perhaps production. Is the effect on production and national will of housing and feeding (or indeed not properly doing so) large numbers of POWs for the countries holding prisoners taken into account as well? The cost of caring for POWs had particularly negative internal effects in Austria-Hungary, Serbia, and Russia. The effect of feeding and housing thousands of men cut deeply into available food supplies in Austria. While they were used to good effect in agriculture, mining, road construction, and fortification building in Italy, France, Austria-Hungary and Germany attrition among POWs was significant.
As an aside Austrian POWs were particularly ill treated by the Serbs. During their epic retreat from Serbia to the Adriatic coast over 70,000 Austrian prisoners were forced to accompany them. Only about 24,000 reached the coast and were transferred to Italian control, while less than 12,000 survived to be transferred to France by the summer of 1916. Knowledge of this attrition definitely impacted Austrian home moral.
Most importantly the number of POWs resulting from battles in this game seem very low when compared to historical statistics for battles of similar scale. I may not have properly paid attention to this but it seems as if only the winner of a battle records prisoner captures. As everyone knows both participants in battle, even a badly losing side, would capture prisoners, not just the winner of the battle. The algorithm determining battle losses needs to be adjusted to reflect more historical results.
well, regarding POWs, i will love if we will have added option to recruit pows to units (giving consprit points), and even in later time, events will allow formations of POW based units, on eastern front units made from ah prisoners did have infulence on battles there, sometimes very important.
and on italian front, they did have infulence too.

What Country Is the 639 Area Code For?
Area code 639 is the second area code to cover the province of Saskatchewan, Canada. The other area code that is associated with this area is 306.
Area code 639 is a relatively new area code and was first put into service in May of 2013. Saskatchewan has a number of large cities and communities that are serviced by this area code, including Estavan, Humboldt, Moose Jaw, North Battleford, Prince Albert, Regina, Saskatoon, Swift Current, Weyburn and Yorkton. This new area code for Saskatchewan was implemented as an overlay of the 306 area code, rather than a split, in order to spare rural residents and businesses the need to change their telephone numbers once 10-digit-dialing became mandatory in the province.

While there's no way to completely eliminate stress on your big day, we have some tips on how to lessen the effect and avoid stress on your wedding morning.
Things can get a little crazy when you're trying to get ready for your big day. One option is to schedule some alone time in to your day as you get ready and then bring in your wedding party later in the day for some bubbly and laughs.
We all know the traditions of the groom not seeing the bride before the wedding and the one where couples stay in separate rooms the night before the wedding. But if breaking tradition makes you feel more at ease on your big day, then by all means stay the night with your hubby to be and have some one on one time the morning of your wedding – a great way to do this is a first look.
Practice makes perfect, not really, but it does ease some of the pre-wedding jitters to rehearse what you're going to say even if you don't have custom vows. Hearing it out loud helps you when you're up there saying it to your partner.
There's bound to be a slue of questions from your guests, vendors, etc. the day of. If you don't have a planner, have a member of your bridal party, friend, or family member be the go to person for making last minute decisions and questions.
Every couple worries about the weather on their big day. Most venues, ours included, can work with you to have a contingency plan in place for situations just like this. Rest easy knowing you've planned to the best of your ability should mother nature strike.
No matter how much planning goes in to it, there's always going to be some wedding reception emergencies. However, over time we have come up with some tips and tricks for dealing with the most common wedding snafus.
Ask the bartender for salt, club soda, water and a napkin with your next drink. Blot fresh stain to soak up excess liquid and sprinkle the stained area with salt. Then with club soda on a napkin dab lightly at the stain in a circular motion. Don't rub, as rubbing spreads the wine and deepens the stain.
First of all, don't panic. The best thing to do is stop and call a friend who is also attending and see if they can help get you back on track. If you don't have a friend, see if someone local can help point you in the right direction. The last thing you want to do is call or text the bride or groom and stress them out unnecessarily.
We all have that one friend that manages to have just one to many sometimes. Once your friend has gone from jovial to a public mess, do them a favor and call an Uber. If for some reason you can't, we recommend taking them home and go back to the party – they'll thank you later.
With all the nerves of giving a speech you've lost your notes – take a deep breath and start typing out what you remember on your phone. If you still feel like it's lacking, ask the rest of the wedding party for their favorite memories with the bride and groom. End by raising a glass to the couple and wishing them lots of love for years to come. There you have it, no one will ever know you forgot your notes.
More and more brides are asking themselves, do I need bridesmaids? The answer is no, not at all. Today we talk about 4 reasons it's ok to not have bridesmaids and not only can it be ok it can be just what you needed!
Let's be real, weddings are expensive and with bridesmaids comes the extra costs from dresses to gifts. If you'd rather spend that budget elsewhere, that's totally fine. You'll still be able to celebrate with those same friends regardless if they are 'bridesmaids' or not.
Not all brides' friends are close by. Sometimes the logistics of getting your close friends together to plan, dress shop, etc. are more complicated than they are worth. And the idea of having bridesmaids that maybe you are not as close to just doesn't work – it's ok to opt out.
Even if your friends are close by, you may be stressed out by the idea of having to choose if you have a large friend group. Don't fall into the guilt trap of having a bridal party because you don't want to let people down – do what makes you feel happy.
Sometimes it just feels more comfortable to do things solo. Without a bridal party for some you have that much needed alone time while getting ready, the focus becomes more about you and your fiancé and decisions are easier to make without other's opinions.
At the end of the day, do what is best for you and your fiancé on your wedding day. If that's not having a bridal party then that's ok and you're day will still be full of celebration with friends and family.
The last thing you want to do is answer the myriad of questions guests often have whiles you're planning a wedding. With that in mind, you can help alleviate some of the questions by providing this info clearly for them. We've collected the most asked wedding guest questions and given you tips on how to handle them.
Can I bring my new bae?
If you are okay with it, simply address your with & guest or plus one. If you already have a tight list and cannot afford to add everyone's new significant other to the list then you will have to politely state somewhere on your invitations or website that you'd like for them to attend without a plus on.
We have an array of events at our venue and the dress is always different. Whether its casual or black tie make sure it's clearly stated to eliminate questions later on. The best place to put it is on the invitation and on a website if you have one. Also consider the wording, there is a difference between black tie, formal, cocktail, and casual.
There are lots of places in the downtown Dallas area that are close to our venue where you can book a room block. If you secure a room block for your out-of-town guests make sure they know the details including when your room block time period begins and ends, number of rooms available, types of rooms available and rates.
What do you recommend to do in the area?
With so many things to do in downtown Dallas be sure to include these details for your out-of-town guests to explore if they have down time once they arrive. We are right near a collection of museums as well as some great restaurants.

'Timestamps' feature makes Twitter the news site it was always meant to be
by Rachel Kaser — in Twitter
Twitter today introduced Timestamps, which allows users to share both live videos and recorded ones from a certain point. It's essentially the same as the timestamp option on YouTube's share button. Timestamps roll out today for the iOS and Android apps, as well as Periscope.
According to Twitter, it implemented this feature in response to users' frequently tweeting a whole video with a number indicating where in the video they wanted the viewers to start. Now anyone who views a tweet will see the video starting from the timestamp selected.
Timestamps help improve the conversation around news, as it allows people to cut directly to the parts of the footage most relevant. It makes sharing thoughts and ideas easier and more fluid than it has been on Twitter to this point.
For example, if I wanted to talk about a memorable quote from a speech broadcast on Twitter before now, I'd have to link to a video and give the appropriate start time. Now I can just link to the part of the video where the speech begins.
Twitter has embraced video over the past several months, incorporating it into the site's breaking news coverage and brokering deals with major sports networks. You're now just as likely, if not more, to see on-the-spot live news coverage on Twitter as you are on Facebook, as news networks now post hundreds of videos to Twitter every week.
Up to this point, Twitter's primary rival for social media video space was Facebook. But with the introduction of Timestamps, Twitter has given itself an edge that Facebook won't be able to duplicate. Even if Facebook introduced timestamps of its own, it doesn't have the same scope that Twitter does, for all its Live video features.
Twitter's timestamps are an ingenious way to start discussions about live broadcasting and coverage. Any attempt Facebook makes to bolster its Live video streams aren't going to be as useful.

Your kid's going to college. Now what? A place to live is a good start.
Your kid's going to college and now you have to decide if they should live on or off campus.
The decision to live on or off campus will help shape their college experience. And they have a lot of things to consider when weighing their options. Both come with various pros and cons.
If your child lives on campus, they'll have access to other on-campus housing resources like a resident advisor (RA), desk assistants and hall councils to help them ease into the college experience. These things aren't always readily available to off-campus residents. They'll also have easier access to campus amenities like a gym and college community activities. Plus, they'll be in the middle of the on-campus action, all the time.
And your kid has to eat, right? On-campus housing will give your student the option to include a meal plan (some even require it). Meal plans are prepaid, separate from tuition, and usually served in dining halls, student cafes and eateries. Some even include on-campus chain restaurant options as part of the budget. The alternative is to have your student do their own shopping and cook their own food. If you go this route, make sure your kid can cook.
Roommate selection can also be the deciding factor. Does your child have a BFF they insist on rooming with? Colleges will usually give you the option to put a roommate preference down by name, but this could be a great opportunity to meet new people.
Age is also a factor. Freshman, especially one that's never spent much time away from home, can benefit from living on campus. And if your kid doesn't have a car and public transportation isn't readily available, this might the best option to ensure he or she can get to class on time.
Dorm life not appealing to your child? A more independent student could prefer off-campus housing. And there are so many options once they make that decision—like choosing their own roommate.
Will your kid have a car? How's public transportation near the school? What's traffic like? All things to think about when calculating college transportation costs. Many off-campus apartments offer commuter programs to help kids get to campus quicker, university bus systems that travel to nearby off-campus apartments for pickups and drop-offs. The University of Central Florida, for instance, offers 15 fixed shuttles that travel between over 20 off-campus apartments and the college campus. And they're free! Just remember to include extra transportation expenses when you figure out a student budget.
Choosing off-campus accommodations also means cooking their own meals. That could end up saving your student money in the end, if they know how to cook.
And while you have the flexibility to sign a short- or long-term lease, your kid won't necessarily have to move out to go home for the holidays. This isn't true for all on-campus housing, but it's a common practice. So, if your student wants to stay on campus and score a summer gig, it's easier to arrange.
The cost of furnishing an apartment can also be a deciding factor. They might opt to rent a furnished apartment, but that could increase the price. And while they would have to buy some furnishings on campus, most dorms come with basic furniture, like beds and desks. Should your child choose go the unfurnished route, there are plenty of ways to furnish a student's apartment for less.
Already in the market for an investment property? If your kid's college is in a desirable area, you might even think about buying their housing for them. This gives your kid the ability to live in the house now with fellow students. This also means that you'll be the one collecting rent.
When they've graduated and moved on, you still have an investment property to use as a vacation home, depending on where it is. Or you make a longer commitment to college housing and rent to future students looking to live off campus. You'll need to manage the property, but if you have the resources, it could pay off.
Whichever way you and your college kid decide to go, create a pros and cons list. Check out housing facilities in both cases and see which feels more like "home." Budget both into their annual spend and see which saves more bucks. Most importantly, if your child feels safe, they'll undoubtedly have a better college experience no matter where they live.
