Well well! After taking a look at the fashion magazines I got last week, it seems there are tons of trends for this fall / winter season.
I suppose the important thing about leather skirts is what to wear them with.
First of all, try any color! Not just black. The latest trend is to wear them in any color.
Wear tank tops, sweaters, tshirts.. almost anything!
For the shoes choose boots or ankle boots.
So sorry last week I didn't really post much! It was a little of chaos. Trying to apply for a job isn't as easy as I thought hahaha!
The cuff is made from man made ribbon and antiqued chain. It measures 4cm x21.5cm = 1.5 inches x 8.5 inches and can stretch. It's of an 1890s sort of Edwardian style. Very vintage in feel.
Visit lovemaryxoxo's shop and pick a favourite item.
This giveaway ends 31st August at midnight EST. Good luck!
Charliemotel did the illustration for my blog banner. Exactly what I wanted, a fashion girl! =) I hope you like it too. After that I added the lovely illustration to a banner and a few more details and voilá! New blog.
Believe me, Meg (from charliemotel) makes stunning illustrations!!
The hoodie from angeldamico is fabulous. It is the first short sleeved hoodie I have and I love wearing it! It's perfect for spring, summer and autumn =) I loved this print but it was on a shirt so I asked the seller if a hoodie could be made with the same print. Communication was great, and the final item is fabulous! Very well finished and the color is just great! It fits like a glove (I got a L size) and it looks very cute. The colors are vibrant and deep (yeah the photos I take are still pretty bad in that sense), it is white on the back and has 2 small pockets, lovely!
The earrings from iomiss were a birthday gift from my father. But don't think he has that good taste, I made a wish list for him :D I tell you, you should do the same for Christmas and Bdays, my father loves Etsy for this reason! He doesn't have to hunt the shops downtown anymore haha. I chose these earrings because I love green and purple, and this combination with black and silver looks great. And I wasn't disappointed, they are lovely! They hang perfectly and I highly recommend everybody to get a pair. I love them and wear them all the time.
I do totally recommend buying from both sellers: angeldamico (superb prints and top styles) and iomiss (fabulous earrings).
I give the hoodie a 5 out of 5 and the earrings also a 5/5 in seller's communication, product, finishing touch, and quality.
Isn't it lovely? The beads are so shiny!
The bracelet is called Sweetheart Bracelet, because the big yellow flower keeps whispering. "Hello, Sweetheart".
Besides, the bracelet is made of memory wire with turquoise beads and a big flower made of yellow organza. The wire is flexible, so it is suitable for every kind of wrist.
This giveaway ends 24th August at midnight EST. Good luck!
While most of us remember him dressed as a pirat (maybe the hottest and gayest? pirat to ever appear on the screen) his regular style is also very fashionable. So what can we find in Etsy for the Johnny Depp in your life?
Get a hat, a pair of old fashioned sunglasses or glasses, a lot of leather and small beads necklaces and there you go! Add a leather cuff and a bandana as scarf or cuff for the extra touch =) Voilá! Your own Mr Depp.

A few days ago I announced a new section in the blog, world recipes!
I offered everyone to send me their recipes and already have a few available. I know I announced that the first recipe would be my own, but didn't have time to put together the sangria recipe (lol, like it is THAT difficult haha), so here you have the first recipe in this blog! Baklava, brought to you by the super awesome and multi talented Anna.
Combine nuts and sugar, cinnamon and cloves.
Butter a rectangle baking tray. Lay two sheets of the filo pastry onto the tray, brush with butter, and sprinkle on some of the nut mixture. Continue alternating the 2 buttered filo sheets with the nut mixture, ending with two filo sheets on top.
Cut the baklava with a knife in serving size pieces. Pour remaining butter over the top and sprinkle with water.
Place into a moderate oven (180C) and bake for 45 mins.
For the syrup, boil sugar, water, lemon slice, cinnamon and cloves for 1 min. Add honey and boil for extra 2-3 mins, removing honey froth from side of pot as it forms.
Once the baklava has finished in the oven, remove and poor the syrup over it.
Leave it to cool down to room temperature and serve.
Thanks a lot Anna for this fabulous recipe! =) Please take a look at her shops to see her creativity: art and jewelry!

Business News›NRI›Visa and Immigration›Look beyond H-1B, EB-5 visa routes to work, settle in US: Mark Davies
Look beyond H-1B, EB-5 visa routes to work, settle in US: Mark Davies
Samanwaya Rautray
Unlike all other categories of visas, the most crucial aspect in the E-2's case is reciprocity.
The only thing that stands in its way is a reciprocal law with the US to facilitate such visas, Mark Davies, global chairman, Davies and Associates, LLC.
The H-1B and EB-5 visa routes to the US are almost clogged. But there is another option for Indian nationals who wish to work and settle there – the E-2 visa. The only thing that stands in its way is a reciprocal law with the US to facilitate such visas, Mark Davies, global chairman, Davies and Associates, LLC, tells ET in an interview. Edited excerpts:
Is there any option to H-1B or EB-5 visas for Indian nationals?
There are many options available for Indian nationals wishing to live and work in the US. At Davies & Associates, we have considerable experience of helping Indians gain citizenship of Grenada in the West Indies. This island nation offers great business opportunities and one of the most widely accepted passports in the world. While Grenadian citizenship is not an automatic pathway to a US visa, as a Grenadian passport holder, an Indian is then eligible for an E-2 investor visa to the US. An E-2 visa offers the opportunity to invest in a small business in the US and to manage that potentially forever. Spouses of E-2 visa holders can work anywhere they want to, or engage in any lawful activity they wish to. A number of our clients have chosen to pursue this route coupled with an EB-5. E-2 processing times are very quick and this allows investors to live and work in the US while their EB-5 application is being processed.
What are the other routes available for those wishing to go to the US?
Indian nationals can expand their existing business to the US using the L-1 visa route. If a person has owned a business that he or she has worked at for over a year, the person may be able to obtain an L-1 nonimmigrant visa by opening a branch in the US. After one year, an L-1 visa-holder may be able to apply for a green card as an international manager or executive through the EB1-C programme.
Another option is to own a business in the US through the E-2 visa. India is not currently an E-2 treaty country with the USA and so Indians are not currently eligible for this visa. However, Indians who are able to claim another nationality may find themselves eligible. We have worked with our clients to secure citizenship in countries that are E-2 treaty nations, such as Grenada and Antigua in the West Indies. A $150,000 payment into Grenada's national transformation fund or a $350,000 investment in real estate offers a quick route to Grenadian citizenship. While Grenada offers considerable business opportunities on its own, it also offers passport holders the opportunity of securing an E-2 visa. E-2 visas take just a few months to process and require an average investment of around $100,000 depending upon the business.
Is there anything that the Indian government can do to ease the travails of the educated entrepreneurial class seeking to go and settle in the US other than the EB-5 – especially on the E-2 visa front – given that the depreciating rupee has made the $500,000 investment limit too costly?
E-2 visas are restricted to the nationals of countries whose governments have a Treaty of Trade and Commerce with the US. Although India has a long history of friendly relations with the US, the two currently do not have such a treaty in place. The crucial aspect of this treaty is reciprocity, so unlike other visa categories, the US would not make Indian nationals eligible for E-2 visas without US nationals being granted reciprocal access to India.
India has a long and proud history of forging an independent trade and commerce policy, but links with the US continue to grow from strength to strength. Just a few months ago, the US granted India Strategic Trade Authorisation-1 (STA-1) status. This eased trade controls on high technology products to reflect growing defence ties between the two countries. If the US and India were able to negotiate a treaty that permits the issuance of the E-2 visa to Indian nationals then the associated growth in the Indian economy and the ability of Indians and Indian companies to transact business abroad could be explosive.
Is there political unanimity in the US on revising EB-5 investment limit?
EB-5 investment has been an important source of funds for the US real estate sector, especially since the 2008 recession. EB-5 projects have supported tens of thousands of jobs across the US and many politicians are supportive of the contribution this has made to their districts. There has been speculation that the minimum investment threshold will be increased from $500,000 to reflect the fact that it has not been subject to inflationary increases since the 1990s. One of the most important considerations for politicians is job creation, and there are no proposals to increase the number of jobs created from beyond the current minimum of 10 jobs. The regional centre programme deliberately invests in target employment areas (TEAs), which are defined as areas of high unemployment or rural areas. While we cannot be sure of what will be decided by the US Congress, it is likely that politicians who represent economically challenged districts who rely on EB-5 funding for jobs will be keen to ensure that any proposed changes do not adversely affect the potential for creating jobs.
What are the key hurdles for Indian applicants opting for the EB-5 route?
The most important aspect of an EB-5 application for Indian clients is to select the lowest risk project, to use an established and experienced regional centre and to have a well-documented source of funds. Proper due diligence on a project minimises the risks to your capital and green card. However, most Indian applicants do not hire an EB-5 lawyer with a view to conduct checks on the legal risks to their investment. A good immigration law firm will have experienced finance lawyers who can advise as to whether your capital is legally secured.
The US government is also diligent in checking where an investor's funds came from in order to prevent corruption and money laundering. We find that many Indians sell property as a way of proving their source of funds. It is important to engage a lawyer early in the process so that they can advise an investor of whether their proposed source of funds would meet US requirements.
Is the regulatory structure in India equipped to help those wishing to go to the US and ensure that those who invest in that country do not land in any sort of legal trouble?
The problem with the legal structure in India falls into two categories: protecting investors, and allowing the remittance of foreign exchange transfer to the US. However, these hurdles are not insurmountable if clients engage a licensed law firm which is experienced in performing legal real estate finance due diligence and which has good knowledge of Foreign Exchange Management Act. Unfortunately, most parties presenting themselves in India are paid sales persons who actually have no knowledge of or training in financial analysis. These individuals receive commission on projects they are presenting and often prepare incomplete and misleading analysis. India provides no protection for Indian nationals in this context. Ask your EB-5 law firm if they can assist – some have Indian professionals who can and others do not.

Diamonds are a popular stone choice for luxury jewellery and engagement rings. However, they are not a "must-have" for millennials. Stunning, vibrant gemstones are gaining popularity for engagement rings, wedding bands, and other fine jewellery pieces.
These sparkly colourful rings with stones are just as durable as diamonds. Gemstone rings Canada are available in every hue of the rainbow. From fiery coloured birthstones and classic precious stones to lab-grown stones and cost-friendly diamond alternatives.
But these precious jewel rings require a bit more thought regarding ring settings and metal choices. You need to consider how your gemstone will complement or contrast with other gems and the precious metal of your choice.
Are you looking for vintage gemstone rings or something with a modern twist?
This article shares everything you need to know about crystal rings Canada. From popular gemstones to how to customize your own precious stone ring.
What are precious stone rings?
Precious stone rings for women are a type of ring that features a centre stone which is not a diamond. These rings feature a gemstone, which can either be precious or semi-precious.
The gemstone, also referred to as a fine gem or jewel, is a piece of mineral crystal which is carefully cut and polished to make jewellery.
These rings are usually designed using traditional ring settings such as halos, solitaires, and three-stones. However, some women opt for contemporary settings to hold their gemstones.
The risks and benefits of precious stone rings
Gemstone rings offer many benefits, including uniqueness, personality, and affordability. But it is also essential to consider the risks of choosing a precious stone over a diamond. This will help you feel more confident in your choice and enable you to take proper care of your gemstone ring.
Colourful expression
Some like these rings to be fun, creative, and colourful. Different coloured stones mean other things. For example, sapphires represent passion; rubies symbolize loyalty.
Some people may enjoy the lively colours that gemstones add to their physical appearances, such as vibrant pinks, oranges, and deep, fresh greens.
Another significant benefit of gemstones is how affordable they are compared to diamonds. They are usually a fraction of the cost of a diamond of the same size. However, this does depend on the type of gemstone, its colour and size.
People who choose precious stone rings can therefore opt for a larger centre stone in a gemstone than in a diamond.
Some people prefer gemstones to diamonds because these precious stones are available in larger sizes and more shapes.
Gemstones often grow into giant crystals, so you will find them in various shapes and sizes. You can select glamorous, big, fancy-shaped stones for your ring.
Less durable
Some gemstones are not as hard as diamonds, so these rings may chip or
scratch more easily. A diamond lasts forever because they are a 10/10 on the Mohs Hardness Scale. This scale was specifically designed to rank the hardness of minerals and gemstones.
So, basically, nothing can scratch a diamond except for another diamond. But people can protect their gemstones by selecting a gem that is ranked higher on the Mohs Hardness Scale. Apart from this, people can also design a protective setting for their precious stones.
Difficult to replace
Another risk to keep in mind is that gemstones' unique shapes and colours are difficult to replace in the case of loss or damage.
As gemstones are generally cut in irregular shapes, people may find it challenging to find the exact measurements of their original stone.
Similarly, the rare colour of gemstones can be challenging to match. Each colour comes in various shades and tints that make it unique. You can take your gem to a gemologist to have it appraised and colour graded so you have an accurate record in the unfortunate event of it falling off.
What is the difference between precious and semi-precious stones?
Clarity and hardness are what differentiate precious stones from semi-precious stones. Precious stones feature exceptional clarity, fire brilliance, vibrant shades, and hardiness. They are somewhat ethereal yet luxurious.
There are only four precious stones: diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, and rubies. Every other gemstone is considered to be semi-precious. These are outdated terms linked to rarity and value, which won't affect today's market. However, precious stones will be more expensive than other gemstones.
Precious stones are defined by their unique characteristics. These stones are magnificently clean, with zero impurities. The precious stones rank higher on the Mohs Hardness Scale, making them extremely durable.
Popular types of crystal stones for rings
We have compiled a list of the most popular gemstone rings, starting with the "big four" and then moving on to other unique gemstone rings.
Diamonds do not entirely fall into the category of substitute gemstone rings,
but you can make your classic choice unique. You can find that iconic sparkle in different colours.
Yellow and pink diamonds, more commonly known as "fancy diamonds," fall under vintage gemstone rings. Grey, black, and champagne diamonds are trendy among millennials.
Another timeless ring stone is the sapphire. The rich, royal blue of traditional sapphires boasts elegance and loyalty. However, you can find these gemstones in many other colours, including peach, pink, green, purple, white, and yellow stone rings. White sapphires are more affordable but are as precious as a diamond equivalent.
Sapphires are ranked nine on the Mohs Hardness Scale, making them as durable as rubies and emeralds. They are ideal for representing everlasting love.
Emeralds are a perfect, dazzling choice for an engagement ring. The lush green stone's vivid colour is versatile and looks stunning in both a modern ring setting and an antique ring style.
Emeralds are available in a range of shades from pale green to deep, dark green. High-quality emeralds are ranked eighth on the Mohs Hardness Scale.
These precious stones are often mounted in an emerald cut to reduce the risks during setting. These stones are generally small. Larger emeralds are rare and can be 20 times more valuable than a diamond of the matching size.
Rubies are characterized by their vivid red tones, ranging from pink and purple to a tint of brown. However, the most popular ruby is the bright, blood-red colour pigeon.
These precious stones often have a secondary colour of purple or orange. But the more enhanced this colour is, the lower the value of the ruby.
Pearls are one of the most classic, delicate stones in the world. They are popular in earrings and necklaces but not suitable for a ring's wear and tear.
These stones are composed of calcium carbonate and are ranked 2. To 4.5 on the Mohs Hardness Scale. This means that pearls are incredibly vulnerable to being scratched or chipped.
Alexandrite is a stunning, purple-blue gemstone that is a variation of chrysoberyl. The shade of this stone can also vary from red to green.
Alexandrite is a hardy stone for rings, ranking 8.5 on the Mohs Hardness Scale. It is becoming increasingly popular recently in the fashion scene. This stone is predominantly found in India, Brazil, Russia, and Tanzania.
Amethyst features a deep purple hue and makes quite a bold statement. Though, the colour can vary from soft lilac to intense purple. This beautiful gemstone ranks seventh on the Mohs Hardness Scale, making it a reasonably durable choice for rings.
Natural, raw, uncut amethysts are linked to homeopathic healing. The cut variations make stunning jewels that look even more beautiful when paired with an emerald or diamond halo.
Citrine gemstones vary in hue from vibrant yellow to fiery orange. These bright, cheerful stones represent prosperity and are popularly known as the money stone. Citrine also represents positivity and optimism.
While they are equally just as beautiful, they are an affordable substitute for canary yellow diamonds.
As citrine is a variation of quartz, it can range in hardness. Ensure you speak to your jeweller about the purity of the citrine before you purchase it.
Moissanite is a sparkling white gemstone that is often used as a diamond substitute. They are a popular choice for engagement rings and can easily be mistaken for a diamond.
These gemstones are often lab-grown now but were initially the inspiration behind artificial gems.
Moissanite not only looks as good as diamonds, but they are also just as durable. They rank 9.5 on the Mohs Hardness Scale.
Moonstones are one of the most ancient gemstones used in jewellery. Modern designers are slowly but surely bringing these mystical stones back into fashion.
Moonstones feature a milky colour, where you can actually spot something different every time you look at them.
These unusual gemstones are ranked six on the Mohs Hardness Scale, making them a pretty durable stone for rings.

Cool-toned gemstones beautifully complement white metals, such as platinum, white gold, or palladium. Colourful gemstones that are flattered by white metals include aquamarine, amethyst, and blue topaz.
Warmer colours compliment yellow gold. Citrine is an excellent choice for gold rings with stones. But, certain gemstones match both shades of metal.
Rubies, pearls, opals, sapphires, and emeralds tend to adapt their hue when matched with cool or warm metals. Light metals may enhance a bluer hue from these stones, while warmer metals may pull a soft luxe.
Experiment with accent stones
Gemstones are generally used as side stones for a classic diamond ring to add a burst of colour or emphasize the design of a delicate ring. But, you can also pair diamond accent stones with a large centre precious stone to add an extra flair to subtle gems.
Use the colour wheel to guide you if you plan on pairing gemstones with gemstones. White or ivory pearls and transparent Moissanite can be paired with any colour stone. But other coloured gemstones must be paired with complementary or contrasting colour stones.
Some gemstone pairings, for example, black and yellow, can look very themed.
Consider the shape of your accent stones as well. If you have a round centre gemstone, you can choose just about any shape of side stones. But if you have a square centre stone, then it needs to be paired with other cornered cut gemstones such as princess, emerald, baguette, trillion, or Asscher.
Gemstone rings with halos.
A circle of stones around a centre stone is called a halo. The halo creates a beautiful frame or border around your centre stone, drawing more attention to it. Halos that are set below the centre stone are referred to as drop halos.
Diamonds are common in halos, but you can also add other gemstones to create colour and contrast. But if you select another gemstone colour, make sure it pairs with your centre stone.
Choose larger carat solitaires.
Diamonds are the most expensive gemstones, so large carats are very costly. But gemstones, on the other hand, are much more affordable. Certain gemstones, like amethyst and rubies, can be purchased in a large size at a significantly lower price than the cost of a diamond.
Gemstones are a great budget-friendly choice if you are looking for a large centre stone. They are just as beautiful and depend on the gemstone you choose. They may even be as hardy as diamonds.
Alternative stones
If you are seeking an exceptionally unique gemstone ring design, then choose a stone that is not a popular choice. Avoid picking sapphires, rubies, or emeralds. Instead, opt for morganite or alexandrite.
You can even use less popular gemstones as accent stones or cabochons, which are polished, circular gemstone beads. These stones include moonstone, cat's eye, rose quartz, onyx, and turquoise.
When it comes to looking for precious stone rings, it's like exploring a different world full of colour and beauty. Gemstone rings are a great choice if you want a durable, beautiful, big rock minus the hefty price tag that comes with them.
We hope that our breakdown of precious stone rings will be a helpful guide in helping you find your perfect gemstone ring.

Q: react-native-calendar: apply marking type period in custom day component I need to override the day component because I want to use my own custom day component to the calendar. I need to achieve like below image but am unable to find a way to implement such a design using the custom day component.

if we don't override the day component like the below code then we successfully achieve like above design.
<CalendarList
      markingType={'period'}
      markedDates={{
        '2021-12-15': { marked: true, dotColor: '#50cebb' },
        '2021-12-16': { marked: true, dotColor: '#50cebb' },
        '2021-12-17': {
          startingDay: true,
          color: '#50cebb',
          textColor: 'white',
        },
        '2021-12-18': { color: '#70d7c7', textColor: 'white' },
        '2021-12-19': {
          color: '#70d7c7',
          textColor: 'white',
          marked: true,
          dotColor: 'white',
        },
        '2021-12-20': { color: '#70d7c7', textColor: 'white' },
        '2021-12-21': { endingDay: true, color: '#50cebb', textColor: 'white' },
      }}
    />

But if we override the day component then the markingType period is not worked.
 <CalendarList
      markingType={'period'}
      markedDates={{
        '2021-12-15': { marked: true, dotColor: '#50cebb' },
        '2021-12-16': { marked: true, dotColor: '#50cebb' },
        '2021-12-17': {
          startingDay: true,
          color: '#50cebb',
          textColor: 'white',
        },
        '2021-12-18': { color: '#70d7c7', textColor: 'white' },
        '2021-12-19': {
          color: '#70d7c7',
          textColor: 'white',
          marked: true,
          dotColor: 'white',
        },
        '2021-12-20': { color: '#70d7c7', textColor: 'white' },
        '2021-12-21': { endingDay: true, color: '#50cebb', textColor: 'white' },
      }}
      dayComponent={({ date, state }) => {
        return (
          <TouchableOpacity style={{ backgroundColor: 'red' }}>
            <Text
              style={{
                textAlign: 'center',
                color: state === 'disabled' ? 'gray' : 'black',
              }}
            >
              {date.day}
            </Text>
          </TouchableOpacity>
        );
      }}

Once you are pregnant the first reaction would be to go through video of baby growth week by week. But there are some other problems that might spring up during the time of pregnancy. Even a slight amount of physical activity could cause a lot of exertion. The video of developing baby might also have another section on what causes shortness of breath when you are pregnant.
Is it worthy to be short of breath when you happen to be pregnant?
Though mild breathlessness could pose a slight discomfort when you become pregnant, you can rate it to be normal. It does pose a lot of safety for your little baby as they tend to be well oxygenated via the placenta.
When is the exact time when the shortness of breath starts during the tenure of pregnancy?
It has been found out that shortness of breath does take place during the second trimester of pregnancy. Once you touch the third trimester of pregnancy the breathlessness continues to increase once the baby starts to grow.
What are the exact causes for the shortness of breath when you become pregnant?
The pregnancy hormones stimulate the brain in order to increase the depth along with frequency of your breaths. This does mean that you would need to take in more oxygen for the would be baby. The capillaries in your respiratory tract would also swell and it does go on to relax the muscles of your lungs.
Once you reach towards the end of pregnancy, the uterus is growing to push up against the abdomen as it grows. This does compress your lungs paving a difficult situation when you are about to breathe. It might replicate a situation where it might seem that you have a run a marathon whereby you just climbed a couple of stairs.
At whatever time it is possible do take things easy.
When is the right time to get in touch with your doctor if you are facing shortness of breath during pregnancy?
If you do feel uncomfortable it does make sense to get in touch with your doctor. Shortness of breath could occur due to a wide variety of reasons and one of the main ones would be depletion of oxygen that are known to carry the red blood cells.

Q: Google Visulisation animation a.slice is not a function Please see example fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/15t87L60/
var options = {
      title: 'Test',
      animation: {
        duration: 300,
        easing: 'out',
        startup: true
  }

There is an error showing "a.slice is not a function" (firefox) or "Object doesn't support property or method 'slice'" (IE).
I undertand it's probably trying to slice on a non-array object and i've possibly narrowed it down to startup: true in the animation properties. Only because removing this do not cause the error.
Any ideas how i can retain the startup property but not have the error?
Thanks

A: the problem appears to be with the column definitions
the "label" should be a string (wrapped in quotes "2013") vs. a number (2013)
this --> {"id":"","label":"2013","type":"number"}
not --> {"id":"","label":2013,"type":"number"}
see following working snippet...

google.charts.load('current', {
  callback: drawChart,
  packages: ['corechart']
});

function drawChart() {
  var data =new google.visualization.DataTable('{"cols":[{"id":"","label":"Age range","type":"string"},{"id":"","label":"2013","type":"number"},{"id":"","label":"2014","type":"number"},{"id":"","label":"2012","type":"number"},{"id":"","label":"2015","type":"number"},{"id":"","label":"2016","type":"number"}],"rows":[{"c":[{"v":"21-30"},{"v":89},{"v":187},{"v":0},{"v":0},{"v":0}]},{"c":[{"v":"31-40"},{"v":0},{"v":0},{"v":96},{"v":284},{"v":0}]},{"c":[{"v":"41-50"},{"v":210},{"v":0},{"v":0},{"v":0},{"v":92}]}]}');

  var options = {
    animation: {
      duration: 300,
      easing: 'out',
      startup: true
    },
    title: 'Test'
  };

  var chart = new google.visualization.BarChart(document.getElementById('chart_div'));
  chart.draw(data, options);
}

also, recommend using the newer library...

according to the release notes...

Sign language interpreter plays vital role bringing information to hearing impaired during pandemic
by: Claire Kreuz
Posted: Apr 9, 2020 / 08:53 AM CDT / Updated: Apr 9, 2020 / 10:24 AM CDT
LITTLE ROCK, Ark – The sign language interpreter for Governor Hutchinson's daily COVID-19 press conferences has made quite the splash on social media. Even with the attention, he says it's not about him. It's about the message he's trying to relay.
In a time where information is crucial, it's not always the loudest voice in the room that gets the message across. You may notice Eddie Schmeckenbecher as the guy just steps from the podium or the guy bringing a little pop of color to the daily COVID-19 updates with his tie of the day.
"They want to see what tie I'm wearing but when they see it they go 'oh cool tie' and then they just watch what I'm signing," Schmeckenbecher said.
For those who aren't able to listen to the state leaders, however, he's the guy bringing their words to life.
"For me to stand here is a very humbling experience," Schmeckenbecher said.
Helping those who can't hear, understand what's being said is something he's done for more than 40 years.
"When I started this it was at church interpreting for the preacher and that was it," Schmeckenbecher said.
On this stage, the stakes are the highest.
"From that point to now, I wouldn't have believed it if you had told me that, 'You'll be standing beside the Governor interpreting,'" Schmeckenbecher said.
During a pandemic unlike any other, he plays a vital role in bringing the latest information to those hearing impaired in real time.
"My goal is to have people understand what the Governor says," Schmeckenbecher said.
Don't try and give him the credit though, he'll just tell you he's just the guy serving on the sidelines.
"I'm very careful to say 'the interpreter' and not Eddie all the time," Schmeckenbecher said.
Schmeckenbecher has been the Governor's interpreter for the last two years. He says it's an honor to do this. He also commends Hutchinson's leadership and making sure those who are hearing impaired get all the information they need.

Thank you very much. One of the most important and profitable lessons you can learn in life is how to achieve financial security. Yet too few Americans have had the opportunity to learn the basics about money in school, at work, or at home. So, I'm pleased to be here today to discuss how the media can help to increase the financial security of all Americans.
The media already plays a leading role in giving Americans the facts about saving and investing. But I'd like to discuss how together we can do more; how we extend the promise of opportunity and security to more Americans.
Too often these days, we get caught up with the day-to-day numbers – how many points the Dow soared or plummeted or how many millions the latest IPO netted. With so much focus on what's sizzling and what's fizzling, basic information about saving and investing gets lost. And that basic information can change people's lives.
All over this country, there are important stories. Not necessarily stories that make the evening news or the newspaper headlines. But stories of people who work day in and day out for a better life and a better future. And, many of these important, but untold stories are as profoundly simple as being able to send a daughter to college, buying a first home, taking care of a sick parent, or helping a sibling through a tough financial spot.
And, yet there are other stories that for lack of a better word are tragic; a mother and a father who struggle through their retirement; a middle-aged couple who desperately want to adopt, but can't afford it; a college student who recklessly invests the fruit of his grandfather's life – long labor in a matter of weeks.
With so much at stake, it is absolutely essential that we redouble our efforts to make sure that Americans of every age and income level understand the basics of saving and investing.
Today, there are more Americans investing in the stock market than ever before – nearly half of all American households. One of every three people in America invests in a mutual fund. In 1980, that number was one out of 18.
But these numbers have a flip side. What about those Americans who aren't investing or saving? How do they plan on achieving financial security? And what price will America pay if they do not? There are times when we should look at the glass and say, why is it half empty?
Back when most of us saved at a bank, bought whole life insurance, or had a defined benefit plan, the responsibility for investment decisions was in someone else's hands. But that's no longer true.
Today, as more and more of us must take responsibility for our own retirement needs, we have had to jump from the passenger seat to the driver's seat. But many have had to make the switch without the benefit of time behind the wheel.
In the past few decades, we've seen a dramatic transformation in how and where Americans save and invest. At the same time, an unacceptably wide gap has grown between financial knowledge and financial responsibilities. And that gap spells trouble for many Americans.
The plain truth is that we are in the midst of a financial literacy crisis. Too many people don't know how to determine saving and investment objectives or their tolerance for risk. Too many people don't know how to choose an investment, or an investment professional, or where to turn for help.
While 63 percent know the difference between a halfback and a quarterback, only 12 percent know the difference between a load and no-load mutual fund. Millions don't understand the purpose of diversification, or have market expectations that are totally out of line with historic averages. In fact, in one recent survey, most mutual-fund investors thought that the stock market – over the next decade – would gain an annual average of more than 20 percent. That would put the Dow at over 50,000 just ten years from now.
Most troubling of all, sixty-five million American households will probably fail to realize one or more of their major life goals because they have not developed a basic financial plan.
Years ago, the problem was a lack of information. Today, there is a glut of information. But the irony is: Do people have the foundation in the financial basics that will allow them to use that information?
With the explosion of finance-related sites on the Internet, the individual investor has more access to information than ever before – information that up until a few years ago was available only to securities professionals.
The amount of information available today is simply mind- boggling. Indeed, if you were to click through ten new financial websites a day, you could keep going for two and a half years before exhausting the possibilities. And those are just the sites posted in English.
First, we should work together to raise financial literacy levels through a long-term, national public awareness campaign. We've all heard the important warning that "friends don't let friends drive drunk." But we never hear the message that "friends don't let friends squander their financial future." We should.
We know that the power of the media can help change behavior. If there was any doubt, look at what's happened in Florida. Smoking among middle school children there just dropped 19 percent in one year – the biggest drop in 20 years – thanks to an aggressive media campaign combined with increased education.
Second, the financial literacy message should jump to the front page. It's not enough to reach out only to those Americans who already read the business papers or those who watch the financial news networks. What about those who don't? Let's deliver the message where it needs to be heard – and in a way that will make folks listen.
As I mentioned earlier, behind every financial headline is a very human story with human consequences. We should hear more of those stories. And we need to spotlight them where savers and non-savers alike will see them – on the front page or on the evening news.
Third, let's educate and not just titillate. It's not enough to report that someone lost her college education fund by day-trading – or that someone else lost his retirement savings in a scam he learned about through an online chat room. We should also provide tips for investing wisely and avoiding fraud.
We've seen that financial literacy education can make a difference in people's lives. In fact, a recent study by the National Endowment for Financial Education found that just 10 hours of financial literacy instruction will prompt most teenagers to start saving. And researchers at Virginia Tech found that employers who provide financial education in the workplace are repaid up to 3 times the cost through reduced absenteeism, less time spent at work dealing with personal financial matters, and increased productivity.
(3)how much risk can they afford.
Only then can they choose investments that match their investing objectives.
We should emphasize that planning is key to financial success and show investors how to get started. Even among individuals who earn low incomes, savers who have financial plans report having twice as much in savings and investments as those who do not have a plan.
We also need to remind investors that successful investing takes time. Investors need to slow down and read the whole story. They need to get the facts. Is any of us really surprised that many potential investors don't know where to begin?
To help investors get the facts they need, the SEC and a partnership of nearly 50 government agencies, business groups, and consumer organizations launched the "Facts on Saving and Investing Campaign." Now in its second year, the campaign is an ongoing, grass roots and national effort to motivate Americans to get the facts they need to achieve financial security and avoid costly mistakes. Our slogan is: "Get the facts. It's your money. It's your future."
The campaign can serve as a vital resource for the media. Our partners have developed marvelous tools that help people ask the right questions and get the right answers on money matters. I encourage you to write about – and to print – these tools in your publications, promote them in your broadcasts, and link to them from your websites.
The American Savings Education Council has a one-page worksheet called the Ballpark Estimate that helps people quickly calculate how much money they should save each year for retirement. Imagine what we could accomplish if we could convince Americans to take just a few minutes out of their busy schedules to focus on their financial future.
For younger people, The Alliance for Investor Education developed an Internet calculator that shows you how a $75 pair of sneakers can cost $4,700. That's how much a 13 year-old could save by retirement by investing that $75 instead of spending it.
Earlier this month, the SEC unveiled a Mutual Fund Cost Calculator on our website. It allows investors to comparison shop and see – in dollars and cents – how mutual fund costs add up over time.
The campaign has a special emphasis this year on young people – those still in school and just entering the workforce. Judging from the results of the 1999 Youth & Money Survey, released by the American Savings Education Council this morning, the emphasis comes not a moment too soon – especially when you consider that teenagers alone spend more than $100 billion dollars a year.
The survey found that two out of three students between the ages of 16 and 22 say they need to know more about their money. But barely half think saving is very important, and even fewer actually save. In fact, 28 percent of the students with credit cards are already rolling over credit card debt.
More disturbing, the survey found that "Forty percent of students are likely to buy a pair of jeans – or something similar they really want – even if they do not have the money to pay for it. And 22 percent would pay for it with a credit card."
An overwhelming number of students surveyed – 94 percent – said they're likely to turn to their parents as a key source of financial information. But nearly one-third say their parents rarely or never discuss setting financial goals with them. And 3 in 10 say their parents don't discuss saving and investing with them.
Let's change that. Parents who lack money smarts will have a tough time raising money-smart children. So let's work together to make sure Americans of all ages and income levels get the facts they need to save, invest, and plan for their financial futures. And let's not graduate another generation of students who've never learned the financial facts of life.
Starting today, securities regulators will visit classrooms to get students and young adults excited about saving for tomorrow. In fact, this afternoon, I plan to visit Martin Luther King High School here in New York City. The media are welcome to join me, but I must warn you, there will be a pop quiz.
Today, we stand at what may be a defining moment in American economic history. This may someday be described as the era of democratization of American finance. But, if the vast majority of investors are not informed and not educated, opportunity will lose out to ignorance.
In recent years the SEC has been proud to partner with leading news organizations throughout the country to promote financial literacy – mostly through our Investors' Town Meetings. And I thank those media outlets who've worked hard to organize their own investors' education conferences.
Let's continue working together to make sure every American gets the whole story about saving and investing, and let me , if I can, suggest the headline "Get the facts. It's your money. It's your future."

4.5 Million Sign Google's Anti-SOPA Petition
By Sajid Farooq
Google not going black to protest SOPA may have turned out for the best for those opposed to the Congressional measure.
The Mountain View-based search company chose to black out its Google Doodle on Wednesday instead of joining sites, such as Wikipedia, and going black for 24 hours to oppose the controversial measure, which would give the US Justice Department the ability to track and go after Internet pirates, has rallied some of Silicon Valley's largest tech companies together to oppose the measure.
Google had its censored doodle link to a page with information and a petition about the Stop Internet Piracy Act and a second bill called the Protect Internet Protocol Act, or PIPA.
A spokeswoman for Google told The Los Angeles Times that it was able to get 4.5 million people to sign its anti-SOPA petition Wednesday -- something it would not have been able to do had it gone black.
