Silver Q loves doing research about anything she finds interesting. She hates talking in the third person.
Some girls like to stick to their man longer than they should. (Guys also make the same mistake). They stay even when all the signs point to the exit. That makes me sad, especially because once they realize they should've left, they have already lost valuable years of their life.
Many stay against their better judgment because they just can't recognize the signs for what they are.
In case you are in doubt, here's a list that will help you know whether you should keep him or give him the boot.
His friends bother you, his family doesn't like you and they are constantly finding new ways to make you aware of it, and your man just sits around and allows it to happen. He may even join in their insults. This makes him a mega jerk. But he doesn't need to join in the offensive talk to qualify him as a jerk. Not doing anything to protect or defend the woman he loves turns him into a real dirt bag.
You don't need anyone to point out your defects. You have yourself for that. If anything, your guy is supposed to make you feel special, he is supposed to make you feel better about yourself, not worse. He is supposed to make you feel like you have the most gorgeous eyes in the world, like you are the smartest person on Earth. But if instead he is making you feel like dirt, then he should definitely go, and quick!
This shouldn't need much explanation. If he has laid a hand on you, he doesn't deserve you.
This is a sign that should have you running for the hills. A controlling man will make your life impossible and you will wish you had never met the guy.
If your guy tells you what you can wear, who you can and cannot talk to, or even what you should eat, he's a controlling freak and you should get away from him as far and as fast as you can.
Some guys will try to conceal their control problems by saying they just want the best for you. Don't fall for the trap of thinking he is sweet and he cares so much about you. It is not his job to decide every single aspect of your life. If he really cares about you, he will respect your free will and will not impose his crazy, deranged ideas on you.
Don't fall for the trap of thinking he knows better than you. There's a difference between giving advice and imposing ideas. If he really thinks you are headed the wrong way, he can give you advice, but it should always be your choice to take it or leave it, and he should be okay with your decision. If he doesn't like it, he can leave, but he should never try to change you to fit his idea of the perfect woman.
We are all jealous from time to time. I think that's just human nature. We may all feel that little hint of anger when we sense some kind of competition. However, the problem starts when his jealousy turns him controlling or even violent.
This may lead him to start prohibiting you from talking to certain people. This may even escalate in physical violence if he catches you talking with the object of his jealousy. In more severe cases, this could even lead to the girl's death at the hands of a psychopath boyfriend.
If you so much as sense that your boyfriend fits this category, for your own sake, end the relationship.
He is never willing to compromise on anything. Things should always be the way he wants them. Nothing more, nothing less. This will make your life very miserable. At the beginning of the relationship you may think that it's okay, that he is just a guy that really knows what he wants. But NO! Don't allow yourself to go there. All happy couples should be able to compromise. If you are always the one giving in, either get used to it or get out of the relationship as soon s possible.
Love is supposed to make us happy. At least most of the time. Sure there's the occasional tear here and there, but for the most part love should make you feel completely elated.
So everyone around you keeps telling you what a horrible person he is. Not one of your friends and family can understand how you don't see he is a cretin. Instead of analyzing him under the scrutinizing and objective eyes of others, you decide to make excuses for his boorish behavior. You find yourself constantly saying things like "He really is a nice guy if you get to know him" or "you just don't know him as I do".
If everyone around you agrees that he is a jerk, he probably is a jerk. Keep in mind that your friends and family are not blinded by his handsome looks or his bright smile. They see him more objectively than you do and they can detect whether he has a bad case of dirt-baggery better than you.
This doesn't necessarily mean he is a bad person. The poor guy maybe just boring. If you already tried everything possible to make him a little bit exciting and everything failed, then for his and your sake, let the poor man go or you will make each other's lives very sad.
"Opposites attract and they live happily ever after".
No, they don't. Opposites may attract for the first few months, but don't count on a long term relationship, at least not a happy one. Sooner or later your bigger than life disagreement will get in the way of your happiness and you will both end up looking for someone else who is more like you, a person who truly "gets you."
Analyze your situation. If you guys are completely different, especially in major areas of life (children, no children), then you might as well end it and look somewhere else.
This is not one of those signs where you have to get out as quickly as possible. Who knows? Maybe one day you will be finishing each other's sentences. But if you have already been dating for a while and you are still as different as water and oil, you may want to give some thought to letting him go.
Remember, having a boyfriend is more than having someone to hold hands with. It involves having someone with whom you are sharing your life. So choose wisely and don't spend precious time with someone who does not deserve you.
To me I believe is perseverance .the guy can change his behavior or you the girl can shape it.
I personally know a few girls that just don't see the signs. In fact, I wrote this hub thinking about them. It is so sad that their "love" could be so blind as to not let them see these important warning signs.

Disguised Toast Take On Valorant Challengers Open Qualifiers
In order to see his professional Valorant esports squad, Disguised (also known as DSG), compete in the Valorant Challengers League 2023 Open Qualifiers, Twitch sensation Jeremy "Disguised Toast" took to his channel.
The streamer detailed how his team's roster had been prepping for the event before the game started. Because of the backstories of the players and teams, he also said that watching the professional league was like watching a "sports anime." Disguised Toast gave information regarding his team's scrims within the opening few minutes of his broadcast on January 11; he said that Team DSG's roster was scrimmaging five hours a day.
The Valorant Challengers Open Qualifiers, he continued, were like a sports anime and every team competing has been working "super hard." He declared: "They've been working hard by… no, every team has been working really super hard. That's what makes me sad, is that this is like a sports anime where every team in this tournament, each player, each character have their own backstory."
The former Facebook gaming content creator provided an explanation of his reasoning by drawing comparisons between the backstories of professional gamers and common anime plots: "Like, 'Yeah, ever since I was a kid, I wanted to be in a Valo team.' And then, like you go to another team, 'Yeah, you know, my mom got sick, and this is how I'm going to like… get her medical bills paid,' and then like other team is like, 'We've been childhood friends since like the second grade. And our dream is to like play video games forever.'"
Disguised Toast expressed sympathy for the groups that will be ousted from the competition: "It's so sad! And like most of these teams are going to get eliminated. So you really, like just watching this from the sideline, I think I gained a lot of appreciation and respect for the players that go through all of this."

BEGGARY: A drifting disease in Pakistani society.
Beside other multifaceted ceaseless complications like dread attacks, street crimes, target killings, political issues of state, beggary is also a complex concern in Pakistani society which is drifting like a viral disease in the genes of people which move with generations over generations. Out of 170 million citizens of Pakistan 25million are involve in a profession of beggary. There seems to be increase in number of beggars on roads, railway stations, traffic signals, footpaths or in a corner of street. Beggary in our society captured every age class that involve man, women, elderly people, teenagers, and specially targeted category of children. They navigate from one car to other car or vehicle, knocking the windows and doors until you pay attention to them. They wait for signal to turn red colored, jump and spread around vehicles. Although it is very panic for some citizens to lookout handicapped people and thousands of hands in a crowed to be overlooked, and it is also irritating when you see well physical bodied people begging and asking you for money. Beggary is becoming a part of culture in our society as the beggars think this is the most calmest way to earn money, yes poverty is also the root of beggary but youngsters and well physical bodied people can effort to earn and lane their families, but this disease has been injected in their bloods by parents, that they are born beggars and will die with the tag beggars. Elders taught theirs young ones to beg rather guiding them to do some labor, they just come to you gain sympathy by showing their disabilities and took money, and it is also unknown where the money goes from the handicapped people, while it's a distinct topic. People will pay to first person, second person, third person but dozens of hands will come across you in markets, signals, footpaths, streets to whom will you pay, out of those thousand hands? It is puzzling and irritating for common people. Indeed poverty is the force behind which constrain them to beg but this is not the key for life time. It is the accountability of every individual of society to break this disease by helping them throw empowering those people who engage themselves in beggary activities by providing them with various employment and by bringing awareness and sprit of hardworking to change their lives. Oceans are ended by tiny droplets of water likewise large vicissitudes arise by minor changes.

Ashly Audio Appoints Sound Directions Ltd
Sound Directions, Ltd caters to consultants and A/V integrators providing systems knowledge and free system designing and programming service.
By PSW Staff • February 20, 2015
From left to right: Stanislas Boivin-Champeaux, Sound Directions UK; Jon Paul Boucher, Ashly Audio, Inc.; Francisco Lorenzo, Sound Directions UK; Christophe Palluat de Besset, Sound Directions France; Mark Wentling, Ashly Audio, Inc.; Jessica Colombain, Sound Directions France; Mike van der Logt, Ashly Audio, Inc.

Closing in on two decades at the forefront of the education, hospitality, house of worship, theater, government building, and museum sectors for installed sound, Sound Directions caters to consultants and A/V integrators with peerless systems knowledge and a free system designing and programming service.
The Chessington, Surrey-based company will distribute Ashly's entire line of products, including Ashly's networked multi-channel amplifiers, Protea DSP-equipped amplifiers, and customizable user interfaces, such as Ashly's client-dazzling iPad app. Stanislas Boivin-Champeaux founded Sound Directions in 1998.
"From the very start, we've worked closely with our customers to demystify the vast array of technologies that are available in the installed A/V market," he said. "When it benefits our clients, we happily design and program systems that work flawlessly under the pressures and challenges of the real world.

The effort Sound Directions puts into system design and programming for its audio professional clients is unique among distributors," said Mike van der Logt, EMEA sales manager with Ashly Audio. They have a strong technical team that has depth of experience in the markets their customers operate in. They understand the pressures their customers face and work alongside them to create on-time solutions, within budget. That ultimately wins more projects for everyone involved.

Micro-needle Plasters
My previous post was on the success of research for finding a vaccine for the Hepatitis-C virus, this posts looks into a new way to prevent Hep-C along with other blood transmitted diseases in a magnificent way.
Since using sharp, medical needles are risky and have been a transmitter of diseases, when used incorrectly; it's suggested that healthcare professionals use the needle only once and with the correct procedure and is disposed of safely. But there's also an alternative option, which is much safer and painless. Micro needles affixed to plaster are painless and safe to administer and they don't get through to the nerves, which almost gives a Velcro-like texture. The micro-needles are made of soft contact lens like material and at their dry state, the needles are hard and can penetrate the skin (50 microns) and once in the skin, can rapidly take up fluid from the interstitial fluid, into the micro-needles, and swell.
Our interstitial fluid is in sync with our blood so whatever the concentration of a certain drug is within the blood stream, it will be found to be the same within the interstitial fluid.
Definition: Interstitial fluid (or tissue fluid) is a solution that bathes and surrounds the cells of multicellular animals. It is the main component of the extracellular fluid, which also includes plasma and transcellular fluid. The interstitial fluid is found in the interstitial spaces, also known as the tissue spaces.
This method allows blood free patient monitoring. Micro-needles on the plaster become soft after removal from skin and therefore minimises risk of needle stick injury which can lead to contamination with HIV, AIDS and Hep C. The plaster is then placed in a test tube containing distilled water where the interstitial fluid that was taken up into the micro-needles merges into the water and tests can be performed on the solution, a blood-free blood test.
Dr Ryan Donnelly has been working in the Queens University laboratory to find a way to administer drugs via micro needles, which he sees is a good way to give the correct dosages of drugs to early-born infants and at the same time a pain-free method.
Dr Donnelly has also been contacted by other scientists who want to cooperate t find a way to incorporate this new technique into vaccinations, insulin for diabetics and even in the cosmetics industry.

Address: 15105 Beach Country Drive Location: Corpus Christi Type: Townhouse Area: 1754 Sq.Ft.
There were 16 of us that stayed in this home. Every family was able to have their own room and we didn't feel cramped at all. The furniture was comfortable and the provided cooking utensils in the kitchen were great. Everything was very clean. The house was in a good location to get to the main island and the beach.
Experience has mixed reviews. First, the not so good - broken dishwasher for two days, but was not told so at check-in. Very little shelf space in kitchen to store supplies. Ice maker was turned off so no ice in storage. Mold found in AC vents. Floors were very dirty. Many roaches running around. Needs place in front to wash sand off feet/legs. Kitchen very small, only room for one to cook/clean. Good stuff - nicely decorated. AC worked well.
Well we obviously had some miscommunication on the dishwasher because we did know about it before you arrived and we did let you know at check in that the part was ordered to fix it. As soon as it came in we had the appliance repair man go by to fix it. Mildew, not mold, does tend to build up around the AC vents due to the condensation from the hot and cold air. The kitchen isn't something we can do much about but we haven't had any complaints on it before. I will see if we can get some additional shelving added though. We will also have pest control go by for additional treatments. Thank you for your feedback.
Place had more than enough room for our family get away!! We had grandparents, to young adults staying with us and everyone had there own space. Great location!! Close to the beach!! Very clean!! We will be back!!!
The unit was very big, bigger than I had anticipated. We had 10 people (4 adults and 6 kids) all of whom slept comfortably- with room to spare. The kitchen was filled with cookware! The only thing I wish we had was a pantry or cupboard because there really wasn't any space to keep your dry goods except the counter because every cupboard had something in it. There were 2 tables so eating meals together was not a problem. There were lots of showers so everyone could shower after a day at the beach. The beach wasn't walkable- about 3 miles away, but I didn't realize that in TX, lots of people drive their car right up on the beach!
I would highly recommend this condo. Very modern, well kept, clean and spacious!
The unit was very well kept and clean. It fit our large family nicely. The pool was also very nice for the smaller kids.
A minor issue was the many small ants that appeared in the living room and kitchen areas the last couple of days of our stay. We even found some on furniture and eventually some found their way into things sitting on the floor like beach towel bags, empty boxes and suitcases. We thought we were careful in not letting food items stay uncovered and we swept the floor regularly.
This would not stop us from returning in the future!
Everything was great. The couch hide-a-way bed left a little to be desired, but everything else was wonderful. I would stay here again.
Glad you all enjoyed yourselves. The sofa beds are always pretty uncomfortable for an adult to sleep on, we apologize for that inconvenience but great to hear you all enjoyed yourselves. We look forward to having you back.
This rental was clean and very well equipped for my family. I would like to have seen a better patio area but we enjoyed what we got. Plenty of space for the kids to run around.
We had a group of 16 (4 adults/12 kids)staying 4 days in Padre/Corpus area, and Nemo Cay Resort was GREAT! The unit was large (5 bedroom, 4 bath) and fit all of us wonderfully. Unit was new, well equipped kitchen & bathrooms. Full size washer/dryer, plenty of refrigerator & freezer space. TV's in every room so everyone got to watch what they wanted - even in the bathrooms! The place was clean & ready to go when we arrived - staff was very helpful in the office and explained everything. We were a 5 min drive to the beach, and about 20-25 mins to the aquarium/Lexington area in Corpus. We would definitely recommend them & would stay here again.
Great to have you guys! Can't wait to have you back!
Very nice. Had a problem with the garbage disposal not working when we first got there. Put in a maintanice request after hours got a phone call first thing the next morning and they had someone come out with in an hour. It's a very nice place to stay at and the pool area is perfect especially if you have little kids. Only down fall would have to be the parking. Not very many spots and no d's hard to fit big truck in. But otherwise it was perfect!
Clean, neat , convenient, safety for vacation.
OUR VACATION AT PADRE ESCAPES WAS GREAT, WE HAD ALL OF OUR KIDS AND GRAND KIDS STAY AT NEMO CAY AND WE HAD A GOOD TIME, OUR GROUP CONSISTED OF 10 ADULTS AND 7 CHILDREN, THE LIVING AREA WAS A BIT SMALL FOR THAT LARGE GROUP, THE KIDS LOVED THE POOL AND GOING TO THE BEACH EVERY DAY, NO ISSUES WITH THE PROPERTY, WOULD RECOMMEND REPLACING THE GLASS TABLE IN THE LIVING AREA FOR SOMETHING MORE CHILD FRIENDLY, MORE PARKING FOR GUESTS WOULD BE GREAT (ESPECIALLY FOR A PLACE THAT WILL SLEEP 17, BUT ONLY 2 DESIGNATED PARKING SPOTS), VACATION WITH FAMILY IS GREAT NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE.
The house was very spacious and modern, lots of beds and bathrooms. Our party consisted of 9 people and we never felt crowded. Close to the beach for fishing, etc. and very well-equipped kitchen to make great meals. My only "issue" is that you have to grill outdoors in the pool area which may be a bit far from the actual house. But otherwise it was a good choice.
Our first family fun vacation with all 9 grandkids was a huge success thanks to Nemo Cay Resorts. We definitely hope to make this an annual affair!
We had about 17 family members stay here. Everyone had plenty of room to sprawl out. The location is great! We would definitely rent here again.
The property management company was awesome. They provided super service. Whenever we needed anything, they were right there to assist.
Very spacious and closer to beach. My Friends all liked and enjoyed the stay.
We vacationed at the Nemo house June 2018. The house was very clean and all 16 of my family members were able to feel comfortable. Everytime I called to report an issue, they got back to me quickly and someone came out to assist us. The house was in a good location and though the kitchen was small, it didn't stop us for making wonderful meals and memories. The kne thing we didn't like was the TV situation. There were TVs in every room and even in bathrooms but I was lead to believe that every TV had cable and that wasn't the case. Only the living room TV had cable(which was not working our first night). All other rooms had smart TVs that only showed maybe 5 stations and the r was st were music stations. Though most times we were busy, when we did want to rest and watch some TV, we couldn't. For the size of the house, they only have 1 air unit so we had to ensure we stayed cooled but didn't overwork the system too much. Overall it was a great stay and my family had an awesome time.
Other than a few critters the first night we were there everything else was fantastic. Helpful staff who were available for any and everything. Nice property and will be back soon.
We just love this place. This is the 2nd time we've stayed, and it is just super. Easy drive to Mustang Island and north padre - great beaches at both places.
Sorry for the confusion but yes the pool is about 50-75? away. We look forward to having you back soon.
The rental worked perfectly for a large group. It was in nice condition, clean and open. Easy access with a code made it easy for everyone to get in and out. The management company was great and made contacts through texts and email before and during our stay to make sure everything was as expected.


Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a goal-oriented therapy that helps patients in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program. It is used at The Ridge by addiction specialists to help patients understand that their own thoughts and actions are what put them in control of their addiction—not outside influences or circumstances.
Cognitive behavioral therapy is not a faith-based practice and instead relies upon the patient's own cognitive ability to consciously overcome psychological motivations toward drug and alcohol abuse. We believe that everyone has the mental strength within themselves to overcome addiction and the compulsions that come with it.
The addiction specialists at The Ridge combine 12-step support programs with CBT and other modalities including art & music, psychiatric, trauma/EMDR and more in order to help patients understand and accept they have an addiction that they must overcome rationally, in a focused, deliberate manner. This type of cognitive behavioral therapy enables clients to objectively recognize patterns of drug and alcohol abuse and equips patients with the knowledge and power to avoid relapse during addiction aftercare.
During family or individual counseling, your addiction specialist will discuss with you how to identify the thoughts and feelings that act as triggers for drug and alcohol abuse. You'll delve into the reasons that make drug and alcohol use attractive, and will be able to consciously understand which situations make you most at risk for cravings. Often, people use drugs and alcohol to cope with a difficult life situation and CBT is useful for rewiring your coping mechanisms from destructive behavior into something positive and engaging.

British superstar Amir Khan explained that a change in trainer, combined with some fighting style adjustments in camp, were huge factors in his lackluster performance against Samuel Vargas in his last ring outing.
Khan was dropped in the fight and later wobbled in the tenth round. He won a decisive unanimous decision when the smoke cleared.
The victory allowed Khan to secure a major fight against WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford on April 20th at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
It didn't look good that Vargas recently lost a clear decision to aging veteran Luis Collazo, who Khan soundly defeated a few years ago.
But Khan explains that he was greatly affected by a quick trainer switch to Joe Goossen.
After his longtime trainer Virgil Hunter became very ill, Khan was forced to find a new coach in a hurry and hired Goossen.
Now that Hunter is back on his feet, Khan went right back to him.
"[Virgil has] known me for a long time, so it's always better to be with someone who knows you and your fighting style," Khan told Nick Parkinson.
"As you get older it gets harder [and] when you go to a new trainer, it can be hard to adapt to their ideas. Joe Goossen did a great job with two warm-up fights, but I've decided to go back to Virgil.
"There were a lot of wobbly moments in my last fight and I should have stopped him [Vargas] or knocked him out – he should never have been in the same ring as me.


What is a typical day in the life of a Parisian like?
Well guess what: we have a fairly good idea!
TS Editor Shubhra Krishan met the lovely, lively Laurie Trognon, PR head at the iconic Printemps in Paris. The young lady wrote a beautiful ode to her home city, spilling lots of local secrets along the way!
I am 23, and have lived in Paris all my life. I live in the 17th arondissement in a quiet residential neighbourhood called Villiers, which is sprinkled with parks and French brasseries.
Every morning, I wake up in my apartment and feel lucky to live in Paris. I open the window and look out to a beautiful old Haussmannian building. In the very early hours, we can hear birds, wind, or rain.
Like any other big city, Paris gives you the feeling of being on your own—in a nice way! I start my day with a typical Parisian breakfast of croissant or a chocolate roll with fresh orange juice or a tea. Sometimes, I keep it simple with just bread and butter.
It takes me 20 minutes by Metro to reach my workplace, which is PRINTEMPS (the departement store) in the nine area (75009).
In summer, I like to wear colourful long dresses to work. Parisian women are very fashion-conscious, and enjoy sporting avant garde fashion.
Paris looks most beautiful during summer time, when everybody is on vacation. All people are very open-minded, the weather is great and you can enjoy parks, terrace, swimming pools.You can really appreciate space at Rosa Bonheur which is a restaurant in the Buttes Chaumont park.
When I am unhappy and need some peace, Paris comforts me with wine! I sit with a glass of wine and a friend at Bertie or Vert Tulipe; very affordable, great wine, and perfect for forgetting your woes!
Plus, I like to practice sport and more particularly Aquabiking; sport is something very important when you live in a big city. It's a great way to decompress.
When I'm looking for a moment of rest, I go to the NUXE Spa at Printemps Haussmann and get a manicure.
The city's loveliest street is Rue des Francs Bourgeois, a typical Parisian street with trendy but not-too-expensive shops such as Zadig & Voltaire, Isabel Marant. For bargain shopping, I would recommend the area of Chatelet – Les Halles. For high-end purchases, you should head to Printemps Haussmann or Rue Saint Honoré.
In the evening, Paris looks an old city which is waking up; all brasseries and terrace are full, even during the winter and my apartment fills up with the sights/sounds of my neighbours who invite their friends for the cocktail hour.
I don't have the time to cook, so I usually order food from a website named AlloResto. One of my favourite foods when I can't cook is Japanese.
A typical Paris weekend is never complete without a brunch on Sunday morning.
All in all, I love my city because this is a city with a real history. The typical Haussmannian buildings are majestic, and I can't get enough of admiring them!
Q: I love discovering roadside eateries. Is there a good one close to Delhi?
If you enjoy a long and leisurely drive, we know just the place. And a five-star chef, no less, tipped us off on this one: it's called Sharma Dhaba, and it is located on the fringe of Jaipur city. Wind your way to Sikar Road and almost anyone will be able to point you to it.
Order the aloo paratha, and you'll thank us for recommending the place. Sizzling hot and oozing filling, the paratha comes with a terrific pickle, yoghurt and subzi. The Sharma brothers have run this place for over two decades now, and the sheer number of moodhas and tables in front and at the much cleaner back section are testimony to its thumping success.
The brothers said their best-seller is the Mawa Paratha, which comes filled with khoya and dry fruit. We didn't particularly enjoy the idea of a sweet filling, but maybe you will.
A meal for two here will cost you about Rs. 350. And the fare is all vegetarian.


Bananas are on the verge..
Bananas may not be around in the next 10 years due a fast-advancing disease compound.
The fungal disease known as 'The Sigatoka complex' could put an end to the world's banana supply.
Farmers will be forced into treating their banana crops at least 50 times a year to prevent total destruction.
Enjoy the potassium filled treat while they last!

As I read this quote from School Board member Jenny Hill, her heart and conscience is in the right place which should make her feel better, however her struggle to understand that to apply this logic would actually be to the detriment of teaching and achieving that end goal of reaching out to the children and providing them the best educational opportunities available.
Ms. Hill, it sounds as if your goal is to be a social justice warrior and not the academic battle that is really your single purpose as an elected School Board member. You would be better suited to join the battle front knocking on doors and encouraging those communities where parents or guardians of these underprivileged children reside.
It is becoming increasingly obvious that this school board is doing the bidding for groups such as UnifEd and the so-called Unity Group who says that they stand for "free fair and appropriate public education".
Excuse me, Eric, you omitted the fact that nothing is free, someone has to pay and those taxpayers have a voice. Herein is another part of the problem when social justice warriors parse the whole story and low info voters believe that whatever these causes is presented it's free.
Now let's take this one step further and apply it to the business world. If any of you own a business or even patronize a business. If you own that business do you tell your vendors that you want the same prices for a product that another business purchases a hundred times the amount of material that you buy?
I support State Senator Todd Gardenhire and the State Legislature's effort to bring fair and affordable education to our great State. The voucher program will do this.

Mixed-Use Parking Garage on Broadway
New Mercantile building in downtown Fargo
A ceremony was held this morning to celebrate the groundbreaking of a new mixed-use parking garage on the corner of Fourth Avenue North and Broadway in Downtown Fargo.
The Mercantile project represents a public-private partnership between the City of Fargo, Kilbourne Group, and Tom and Kari Smith, owners of the historic Great Northern Depot adjacent to the site. The first phase of the project is a City-owned six-story parking garage of 369 spaces to be added to the City's public parking supply.
The garage will be wrapped on all sides with mixed-use and residential private development. Plans for the six-story, mixed-use portion of the project, to be built by Kilbourne Group, include space for a Fargo Police Department substation, a parking office, public restrooms, approximately 100 apartments for rent, and 16,922 square feet of ground-floor commercial space. Smith intends to add nine owner-occupied housing units, to be called The Great Northern Block, to the North side of the project.
"Downtown is the vibrant core of our community and it continues to grow and evolve." – Fargo Mayor Tim Mahoney.
"The Mercantile project will add to downtown Fargo's parking supply AND create entirely new experiences downtown that are uniquely Fargo," said Kilbourne Group President Mike Allmendinger. "This infill project replaces a surface parking lot of 85 stalls with a 369-stall garage to support residents, restaurants, retail customers and office workers. The 400 Block of Broadway is lined with strong, established retail and we are excited to contribute to this already vibrant area. Our goal of filling in this corner is to increase walkability and activate the area even more by injecting new residential and retail experiences on Broadway."
The project has been dubbed Mercantile in homage to the four-story brick structure which was built in 1909 for Fargo Mercantile Co., a wholesale grocer. Designed by the Hancock Brothers and constructed by C.H. Johnson & Co., the building was demolished in 1966. The Goodyear Service Center was constructed in 1968 and served the downtown community for 48 years before closing in 2016.

Tech AD says energy, focus, drive sold him on Utah State coach
By Don Williams A-J Media Commentary
Tim Tadlock and Chris Beard have taken the Texas Tech baseball and men's basketball programs to new heights — to three College World Series in Tadlock's case, to an NCAA Tournament Elite Eight in Beard's.
Tech athletic director Kirby Hocutt expects to put Matt Wells' name alongside theirs someday. That's assuming first impressions are correct.
Wells, the two-time Mountain West Conference coach of the year at Utah State, was hired Thursday to succeed Kliff Kingsbury and put an end to the Red Raiders' three consecutive losing seasons. Wells struck some Tech fans as an off-the-radar selection — and, for many, unwanted with the names of former Tech coaches Mike Leach, Dana Holgorsen, Seth Littrell and Neal Brown circulating as possible replacements the past several days.
But Hocutt zeroed in early on Wells, saying he got the same vibe as he did when hiring Tadlock and Beard.
The 45-year-old coach will bring "attitude, energy, focus and drive," Hocutt said, and he didn't form that opinion overnight.
"I have followed coach Wells for years," Hocutt said. "He is one of the most respected men in this profession. As I talked to colleagues throughout the country, assistant football coaches, head football coaches, commissioners, his reputation is impeccable, the way he's thought of by people around the country.
"I would tell people, 'He sounds too good to be true. There's got to be a negative.' Nobody could say a negative word about him. He's going to bring great leadership."
Wells is 44-34 in six seasons at Utah State, historically a difficult place to reach .500, let alone win. The Aggies are 10-2 this season: a season-opening 38-31 loss at Michigan State, a 10-game winning streak, and a loss to Boise State in the regular-season finale.
Hocutt said he had face-to-face contact with three men he considered as candidates and numerous phone conversations with others who had some level of interest.
But he visited with Wells by telephone Sunday, and then Wells met with Hocutt, Tech President Lawrence Schovanec and deputy athletic director Tony Hernandez on Monday in Salt Lake City.
"It's been my approach," Hocutt said, "that when you find that right person and you know that individual has the leadership skills to come and elevate this program and wants to be here and would be a good fit for this community, is going to be a positive influence on that locker room with this group of young men, you expedite it as quickly as you can."
Wells agreed to a six-year contract, Hocutt said, terms of which are still to be announced. Coming with Wells from Utah State are offensive coordinator David Yost, a long-time Gary Pinkel assistant at Toledo and Missouri, and defensive coordinator Keith Patterson. a former Todd Graham lieutenant at Tulsa, Pittsburgh and Arizona State.
Hocutt said Wells is open to keeping some members of Kingsbury's staff. That could include running backs coach Clay McGuire, whose time as an assistant at Washington State (2012-17) overlapped with that of Yost's (2013-15).
Though Wells' Utah State staff does not have a lot time in Texas, Hocutt downplayed the issue.
"He is putting together a staff that has tremendous Texas ties," Hocutt said. "He understands Texas, how important Texas high-school football is, how important it is to have men on this staff that know Texas high-school football and have those relationships.
"He's recruited the state of Texas. He told me this afternoon that he's been getting text messages from high-school coaches around the state, congratulating him and welcoming him."
Any team making a coaching change risks losing players in the meantime. Wells and the coordinators are scheduled to meet with their new team at 5 p.m. Friday and disperse to see recruits who are committed to the Red Raiders.
As for holding on to current players, Yost's reputation for tutoring quarterbacks such as Brad Smith, Chase Daniel, Blaine Gabbert and Justin Herbert could be a selling point for Alan Bowman.
"Coach Yost actually recruited him, Alan shared with me tonight, at Oregon," Hocutt said. "I look forward to Alan meeting coach Yost and coach Wells. Alan's going to be leader at Texas Tech for a long time."


Plantar fasciitis describes inflammation and damage to the connective tissue situated on the sole of your foot which forms your plantar fascia (inner arch) and can cause quite significant heel pain.
Rheumatic conditions- if you are a sufferer of rheumatoid arthritis or other rheumatic conditions such as ankylosing spondylitis you might be more susceptible to inflammation in any place a ligament attaches to bone so plantar fasciitis may be part of that condition.
Your physiotherapist can carry out a full foot assessment to diagnose whether you have plantar fasciitis. X-rays may show any bony prominences or calcification within the plantar fascia and MRI or ultrasound scans can see if there are any plantar fascia tears, calcification or inflammation.

These are my favorite cookies to bring out when harvest comes! Peanut butter is just about my favorite thing in the world, not to mention cookies being pretty much the most versatile dessert ever.
Their consistency is just right, they're so flavorful, and you can make them as monster-y or as plain as you would like! If all you have on hand is chocolate chips, they will taste just as delicious.
I doubled this recipe, so the photos will look a bit more "full" than one batch.
Preheat the oven to 350. Mix 1 stick of butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar & 1/2 cup brown sugar.
Add 2 eggs & 2 teaspoons of vanilla.
Add 1/2 cup peanut butter.
Add 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda & 1 teaspoon salt.
Add whatever "peanut-butter-y" goodies you wish! I added peanut butter m&m's, peanut butter chips, & chocolate chips. Other good options are Reese's Pieces, peanut butter cups, or peanut m&m's.
Separate into balls on a greased cookie sheet. I personally love to use foil. I don't know why, it's just what I've always done.
Bake for 10-12 minutes. Don't overbake! If they don't look quite done, but are beginning to brown around the edges, get them out.
Preheat oven to 350. Mix butters & sugars. Add eggs & vanilla. Beat in peanut butter. Add flour, soda & salt. Mix in candy. Bake 10-12 minutes.

Johnny Manziel's Alleged Airbnb Rager Looks Like It Was One Hell Of A Party
By Adam Silvers
Despite whatever football talent he may possess, it's hard to look at Johnny Manziel right now as anything other than a dude with an apparently very serious partying problem.
The latest Manziel saga allegedly took place at a $4.5 million Airbnb home in Los Angeles where, according to reports, Manziel and his crew inflicted $32,000 in damages to the home.
As you can see in the video above, Manziel's rager even came complete with a resident tattoo artist.
According to reports, Manziel and company left the West Hollywood house in terrible shape. There was reportedly cocaine, mushrooms and alcohol everywhere, in addition to cigarette burns in the carpets.
Manziel and his friends were reportedly supposed to vacate the premises at noon, but the former Cleveland Browns quarterback was found passed out on a sofa at 2 pm.
Nicholas Goodwin, the real estate broker who reportedly rented the house to Manziel, allegedly said,
They were supposed to check out at noon. Manziel was passed out... There was cocaine all over the kitchen table, and mushrooms were still out on the table in front of him. There was booze everywhere... broken glasses over the floor and a Champagne glass in a tree.
Champagne glasses in tress? Where they do that at?

Le parc national de Rago est un parc national créé en 1971 dans le comté de Nordland en Norvège. Il s'étend sur 167 km².

Le parc jouxte le parc national de Padjelanta situé de l'autre côté de la frontière suédo-norvégienne, qui lui-même borde deux autres parcs, et la combinaison de toutes les terres protégées atteint au total environ 5 400 kilomètres carrés, constituant l'une des plus grandes aires protégées d'Europe. Le parc national protège des montagnes, des vallées et des cours d'eau. On peut y observer le castor, le glouton, ou la chouette harfang.

Description
Les lacs Storskogvatnet et Litlverivatnet se trouvent dans le parc. Il y a plusieurs glaciers dans la partie sud-est du parc. Le parc national de Rago n'a pas une riche variété de plantes, en partie à cause de ses sols pauvres et de son climat rigoureux. Les zones boisées sont principalement constituées de pins. De nombreuses plantes alpines poussent parmi les arbres.

Il n'y a pas non plus une grande variété d'animaux et d'oiseaux. Les élans vivent dans le parc avec des rennes semi-domestiqués. Il y a aussi des gloutons et des castors dans le parc. La gélinotte des saules et les aigles royaux sont fréquemment observés.

Places to go / Lyon /
24 hours at the Maison Nô, in Lyon
By Constance Dive , Published: 10 April 2019, 17:43
© Jules Azélie — Lunch with view at Rooftop, the restaurant perched on the top floor of Maison Nô, in Lyon.
This new hotel in Lyon opened last fall on the Presqu'île, quickly becoming the ideal HQ to discover the city. Between design and street art, the four-star hotel has many surprises in store, starting at the top with its rooftop terrace, which offers one of the most beautiful views of the city. It's time for 24 hours in Lyon!
10 AM - Make yourself at home
© Azelie — The Maison Nô lobby, in Lyon.
This new hotel in Lyon bears his name well—from the door, it feels like home. If there's any wait to retrieve the key to your room, install yourself in one of the comfortable sofas of the lobby. Be sure to take the opportunity to admire the architecture of the building, a former bank built in 1881.
10:30 AM – The wow effect
© Maison Nô — Street art invasion upon the Maison Nô stairs, in Lyon.
The brave ones who decide to skip the elevator are rewarded—in the staircase you can find a monumental fresco of urban art. To color the six floors of the hotel, from the basement to the roof terrace, more than thirty artists worked together. You are so starry-eyed by the art that you forget how winded you are!
11h00 AM – Urban design
© E.D. Cohen — One of the 45 rooms of the Maison Nô in Lyon
Enjoy a quiet break in the room before going to walk along the streets of Lyon. Decorated in neutral and relaxing tones, the 45 rooms, all different, were designed as lodgings rising around the two atriums of the hotel. Note the design touch present in all the rooms and the lobby: the Lampe Nô, designed especially for the establishment to be entirely versatile in order to adapt to the uses of every vistior.
12 AM - Discovering Lyon
© Azelie — Maison Nô converted a 19th century bank building into an incredible lodging.
Come take the pulse of Lyon—beloved restaurants, the Hôtel de Ville, Musée des Beaux-Arts, Opéra National are all nearby. Maison Nô, located in the Presqu'île district, is located in the vibrant heart of Lyon. Take the opportunity to discover one of its new restaurants and walk along the quays, between Rhône and Saône.
5 PM - Take a break
© Maison Nô — The well-being space in the Maison Nô, in Lyon.
After visiting the city, relax in the sauna. Or, sportsmen can take advantage of the fitness room under a glass roof. The final option is the private lounge on the 3rd floor of the property, a great place to read, listen to music or just take in the city.
7:30 PM - Dinner with a view
© Maison Nô — Rooftop restaurant at Maison Nô in Lyon.
Climb to the Rooftop, the hotel's restaurant perched on the 6th and top floor, to enjoy the sunset from the terrace over one of the most beautiful panoramas of the city, then head to dinner inside. The concept of the menu? Sharing. Crispy shrimp, candied duck nuggets and even caramelized pork ribs are some favorites to enjoy with the city as a backdrop.
9:30 AM - Head in the sky
© Azélie — The terrace of the Maison Nô in Lyon.
After a night in Lyon, greet the day with a breakfast served on the terrace. Time seems to stand still during a lovely meal while gazing out to Fourvière Hill in the distance. One cup of coffee, then another, then set out into Lyon once again.

Ho Chi Minh City chief alarmed at business index failures
By Bui Hoang Tam | dtinews.vn | May 01, 2016 08:23 AM
"The recent wrongful prosecution of the owner of Xin Chao coffee shop in Binh Chanh District has badly affected Ho Chi Minh City's business and investment environment," said the city's chairman, Nguyen Thanh Phong, at a meeting to review the city's socio-economic situation in the first four months on April 28.
HCM City chairman Nguyen Thanh Phong
"While the city has been trying to improve our business environment and create better conditions for investors, this case have washed away our efforts."
At the meeting, chairman Phong expressed his concerns at the city's fall in Provincial Governance and Public Administration Performance Index, to 47th out of 63 cities and provinces, down 29 places compared with 2011.
"Meanwhile, our Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI) also dropped from 4th place in 2014 to 6th in 2015. While our PCI transparency rating has dropped 4th to 17th place," he added.
The chairman described the figures as alarming and catastrophic.
"We're here to talk about improvements but we haven't made any improvements at all," Phong stressed. "You heads of the departments and agencies should feel alarmed at these numbers."
There may be many reasons for HCM City's falling rankings. But Phong has pointed out one obvious cause through the wrongful prosecution in Binh Chanh District.
"It has seriously affected the city's competitiveness indices related to building a healthy and transparent investment environment," he explained.
The case may have had a good ending with the victim of an injustice being protected and some officials being punished, but the overall affect has been to damage the perception of the city's business environment and trigger a fall in confidence in the city's civil servants.

We now own a snow blower.
It took many years and many feet of snow, but I've finally given in and we got our first snow blower.
I picked it up at Lowe's earlier today and it barely fit into my car. But it rode in the passenger's seat quite nicely.
It turns out snow blowers are harder to find in February than you'd think. They've all been replaced by grills! I first stopped at Home Depot and they only had two left; and they were way to big.
This little guy should work well at clearing our drive way and, more importantly, the end where the snowplow plows us in.
If this next storm hold out, it should get its first run tomorrow!!

elliesimmonite	 August 7, 2018 Books and Theatre The Other Palace, London
Big fun, big fun, BIG FUN! – Heathers The Musical
Disclaimer: I will be discussing certain aspects of the show in this post such as acting style and the new songs, however, I will not draw upon any major spoilers or any surprises in the new production.
I love Heathers the Musical and I mean slushies at 4am, 'The Princess Bride' movie marathons and scrunchies with every outfit love it – so when I heard that The Other Palace would be housing it this summer in the UK, of course, I joined the mad scramble for tickets and oh boy was it worth it. Honestly, the creative team and cast should have been listed as honourary fairy godmothers and Dumbeldores in the programme because this show is bloody magical. I never imagined I could fall even more in love with Heathers but it's fair to say my adoration of it has once again blown up – pun intended. Sadly, over the past few days it has finished its run at The Other Palace but, don't panic and hold onto your croquet mallets because it's moving to the Theatre Royal Haymarket later this year, so for now, I wanted to write a well-deserved tribute post for the performances held at The Other Palace.
The Show and Cast
I will hold my hands up and admit that, yes, I've seen the bootleg video of the off-Broadway production of Heathers. I know that this can fuel theatre-kid wars but at the time the show had finished its run so I didn't have much of a problem with watching it, especially as it helps to maintain the show's legacy. However, the Other Palace production, while still following the same story arch is undeniably very different than the off-Broadway production and this should be recognised from the off-point. So, regardless of whether you're a long time fan or a Westerberg newbie, it's an incredible show to watch – especially if you're someone like my mum who appreciates toned abs and peachy boy bottoms then I assure you it'll be a 10/10 viewing experience.
Despite the fact that I already knew the show, I was on the edge of my seat from the second the opening notes of 'Beautiful' began up until curtain call where I gave an outrageously giddy standing ovation – clapping, jumping, fist pumps and all. The show as a whole was breathtaking. The set design was immaculate, accommodating any changes of setting without overcomplicating scene changes, while still providing an intricate surrounding on stage. The same can be said for the lighting which I kept finding myself taking note of throughout scene and song changes. It was blatantly apparent that the creative team had taken the off-Broadway production and refined it to create an ultimate Heathers viewing experience.
What struck me the most about this production though, was how it had me captivated by the songs and characters I had always liked but never wanted to found fan clubs for, but that's all changed now. For instance, Rebecca Lock's performance as Ms Fleming, I mean what a woman! Ms Fleming has always been a 'meh' character for me, I never really found her funny and I always assumed she was just a 'ditzy hippy'. But Lock's interpretation of her was hilarious and in my opinion, drew upon a woman who was self-absorbed in a circumstance that required selflessness more than the off-Broadway production ever did. But I didn't dislike her, which is something I'm even surprised to be typing now. Regardless of Ms Fleming's actions Lock's performance still drew out comedic, likeable characteristics from her which is absolutely astounding and deserves copious amounts of appraisal. Her performance of 'Shine A Light', while I don't want to give away any spoilers, was definitely my favourite newly imagined aspect of the show – it's even found its way into my top three favourite Heathers songs. The same can be said for Sophie Isaacs' performance as Heather McNamara who I had always seen as the far less funny equivalent to Karen Smith from Mean Girls, whose spur of the moment character shift in 'Lifeboat' was something I never really understood. However, Isaacs has created a character I not only believe in and care for but also began to even feel myself relating to, particularly within her performance of 'Lifeboat'. Ultimately, I left the show wanting to go to Westerberg High and become best friends with Veronica and Heather M, I mean I think we'd make a pretty epic girl power trio. Also, I would like to give a massive shout out to Charlotte Jaconelli who understudied Jenny O'Leary as Martha on the afternoon I saw this performance because she gave such a wonderful, heartwarming performance, so props to you gurl, you rocked it!
As for Jodie Steele, well she stole (ha) my heart. Her vocals were astonishing, she knows how to bust a move, I mean even the way she stands is captivating – basically, this is Wonder Woman we're dealing with here. But more than that, while Heather Chandler is 'evil', Steele creates a 'villain' you want to love. Same goes for Jamie Muscato with his performance as 'J.D.'. While they both present 'villainous' characters on stage, their wit and spark makes you want to like them despite them being supposedly bad – or at least that's what I experienced. It's sort of a Hades from Disney's Hercules phenomenon you're dealing with, you shouldn't want to grab a quick drink and a cuddle with them, but you do. Although it should be noted that, as the play began to draw to its end, Muscato's interpretation of 'J.D.' became increasingly unnerving as an entirely new, threatening 'J.D.' took the place of the slushie-loving one from the first act, which was both astonishing and terrifying to witness. I wish I could write about how talented each member of this incredible cast is all day, but quite honestly this would be a dissertation worthy length post, so while I am finally going to discuss Carrie I highly, highly encourage you to see the show for yourself to witness the iron-clad epicness that is this cast.
Carrie Hope Fletcher
I have followed Carrie's work both on the stage, in the literary world and on Youtube for years now. So yes, it's fair to assume I'm a diehard Hopeful which is why I wanted to separately address Carrie's performance – not because I view her as being on a pedestal above the other cast members but because I think (and hope) I have a better understanding of her as an actress. Therefore when it was announced that she would be playing Veronica in this production of Heathers, I was nervous, I'm not going to lie. It's not that I didn't think she was capable of performing this role, but simply because I see Carrie as a fuzzy-warm-warrior-against-injustices-type-badass, which isn't how I see Veronica. Veronica can be cold and cruel, as well as encountering a massive ego trip and while these traits do come alongside positive ones I struggled to imagine Carrie achieving the iconic Barrette Wilbert Weed Veronica, simply because I haven't witnessed her display these traits. But Carrie isn't Barrette and that my friends is what makes this show so blummin' beautiful because she creates an entirely new, loveable, witty and B to the A.D.A.S.S Veronica. Carrie's Veronica is hilarious, charming and thankfully (unlike in the off-Broadway production) stands up for herself far more – particularly in the ingenious new song 'You're Welcome'. Furthermore, Carrie's Veronica was far more poignant when interacting with 'J.D.' at times, displaying a sense of fear within their relationship that I had never truly taken into account before, which positively added a further layer of development to her character for me. Regardless of how attached a die-hard Heathers fan may be to Barrette's Veronica, Carrie's interpretation of her has gifted the theatre world with a quirky, marvellous twin sister to the off-Broadway original – which is pretty darn cool if you ask me.
As for the more controversial topic of Veronica's 'new appearance', I think it was about time she had her own butterfly-metamorphosis moment to allow Carrie to pop out on the other side in her blue blazer, as fabulous as ever. Regardless of any changes to her hair, or figure, or even costume the version of Veronica Carrie presented on stage was one I fell head over heels in love with but also, importantly, truly believed in. I have to put in a special mention here for Carrie's performance of 'Dead Girl Walking' which is un-shamelessly my favourite song in the show so as you can expect I was very anxious for her performance of it, but hot damn! Carrie mentioned in an Instagram Q&A a while back how she felt like a rock star when she rips upon her shirt in 'Dead Girl Walking' and after seeing it live I entirely understand why – I mean I was ready to throw my bra onstage in an attempt to get it signed by the end of it. It was so empowering and invigorating to see Carrie/Veronica exude self-confidence on stage and that is something very, very special. So, if you're one of those people hung up on the fact that Carrie's Veronica isn't 'really Veronica' just because of hip measurements and hair length then that's a real shame and you are missing out on what I would boldly suggest is her best performance to date. Carrie, you did your fans proud gal.
The Other Palace is unlike any other theatre I have ever been to and while I know that Heathers has now finished its run there I urge any theatregoers to see something there at least once. As it's quite a small theatre it creates a much more intimate viewing experience which was great for someone like me as it reduced any fears of big crowds because unlike most theatres which usually seat upwards of 1,000 people, The Other Palace seats only 312. Therefore, for me at least, the experience just felt a lot cosier, particularly as the majority of audience members I saw were also longtime Heathers fans it felt like more of a 'theatre-community' event rather than a public one. To put into perspective just how much smaller this theatre is. I was sat on the front row and during the performance of 'Big Fun' got a lovely ball of Dominic Andersen spit in my left eye – does that count as getting to first base with Ram, haha?
Besides that, The Other Gin Palace provided Heathers specific cocktails and slushies called; Freeze Your Brain, Candy Store and Shine A Light. Of course, I couldn't pass up on one of these so I channelled my inner Heather Chandler and picked up a Candy Store cocktail and not only did it taste delicious but it also provided me with a super cute Instagram opportunity which I'm always up for! Fingers crossed they continue to do something similar to this at the Haymarket later this year because it added the cherry on top of the corn-nut filled cake. Something else which I loved about the venue was how personal everything felt, for example, just outside of the entrance to the theatre there was a corkboard for fans to stick their artwork and letters of support onto which further added to the feeling of mutual love for the show across the audience before we even took our seats. If I still haven't convinced you that this is one of the most audience-friendly theatres and casts, not only did I meet, Jamie Muscato, Sophie Isaacs and Christopher Chung as they were leaving the theatre but also Andy Fickman, the director of Heathers, was strolling around asking audience members if they'd enjoyed their time there. In all of my years seeing shows I have never once seen the director take their time out to ensure the audience has loved their experience, especially when the show is as far into its run as it was when I saw Heathers. Ultimately, it perfected for me what was already an incredible theatre experience.
Finally, I wanted to quickly discuss the show's merchandise which was the only aspect of the experience which was not tip-top perfect. Before even going to see Heathers I had researched the merchandise online so that I wasn't panicking or questioning what I wanted to buy once I was there (that's a top tip I live by, as I always find it stressful to decide what I want in a fast-paced queue) as I had heard they sold out very quickly. So, I arrived as early as my ticket would allow me to enter and was the second person in line for merch, however, despite this the majority of things were already very understocked. They only had smalls and extra larges in t-shirts and also had no notebooks or compact mirrors. This worked out for me as I wanted an extra large t-shirt to use as PJs and was only really interested in purchasing a prefects badge and programme besides this but it was a little disheartening to not have more options available. Of course though, I understand that this production blew up far more than quite a few people were probably expecting, so I can understand the low stock levels and ultimately I was able to purchase everything I wanted. I can only hope they better stock their merchandise for the Haymarket performances. Also as a word of caution, do not wash any Heathers t-shirts on a high-temperature wash. My mum lovingly tried to help me by doing some of my washing and due to the very high heat of the washing machine the metallic 'Heathers The Musical' writing on my shirt has very sadly been destroyed, so please lovingly care for your t-shirts and wash them at a low temperature!
Colour Me Stoked…
… what a show! As I said before, I have adored this show for years and doubted I would ever see a live production of it, never mind a live production as spectacular as this one. Both I and my mum (my theatre pal) left the theatre with sore smiling cheeks, squealing about sexy scenes and wiping away tear streaks after such an astounding performance. It's fair to say it was big fun, big fun, BIG FUN! So thank you to the cast, creative team and The Other Palace staff members,it's fair to say you carved open my heart and stuffed in more Heathers lovin' and I'm all the better for it.

"I believe there are certain characteristics of millenials that provide opportunities to build [their financial capabilities]. They have a desire for change." Such change, he said, should be driven by data and policy should be made personal and tied to technology solutions embraced by younger citizens.
Panelist Jason Young, CEO and co-founder of MindBlown Labs, an Oakland, Calif.-based software developer behind the Thrive 'n' Shine personal finance game app for teens and young adults, said mobile technology will bridge the gap between financial literacy and a lifetime of successful financial decision making.
Developing a stronger connection between financial literacy education and mobile technology could be beneficial for global educators and policymakers trying to improve spending, saving and investing knowledge for future generations. In January, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) released a first-time global financial literacy study (http://www.oecd.org/pisa/keyfindings/pisa-2012-results-volume-vi.htm) that revealed that U.S. students ranked between eighth and 12th place among all 18 participating countries in overall literacy skills.
Bottom line: Focusing on the way under-35 consumers use smartphones and tablets might provide a way for educators, financial services companies and policymakers to narrow the financial literacy gap.

The complaint also names Honenu's fiscal sponsor, the Central Fund of Israel, according to Israeli media.
Since 2003, Honenu has operated a fundraising program in the state of New York. The tax-exempt Israeli organization raised $233,700 in 2010, the last year for which official data is available, according to tax filings.
Israeli media say Honenu's budget for 2013 was approximately $600,000.
In one instance in 2013, the organization provided funds to the family of an Israeli convicted of killing seven Palestinians in May 1990.
The lawsuit follows a recent expose by Israel's Channel 10 about Israeli settlers' crimes in the occupied Palestinian territory.
The television program was aired earlier this month in the aftermath of the July 31 firebombing of a Palestinian home in the West Bank by Israeli settlers in which a Palestinian baby and his father were burned to death.
In a statement issued hours after the incident, the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) condemned the "brutal assassination" of the Palestinian infant, stressing that the regime in Tel Aviv bears "full responsibility" for the arson attack.
Earlier this month, Israel released all suspects held in connection with the arson attack in the village of Duma.

Q: Using a variable while calling logger.setLevel Does anyone know if there is a way to use a variable in the setlevel() function of Python's Logging module?
At the moment I am using this:
Log = logging.getLogger('myLogger')
Log.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

But I'd like to have this:
Log = logging.getLogger('myLogger')
levels = {'CRITICAL' : logging.critical,
    'ERROR' : logging.error,
    'WARNING' : logging.warning,
    'INFO' : logging.info,
    'DEBUG' : logging.debug
}
level = levels['INFO']
Log.setLevel(level)

But it doesn't seem to work - it just doesn't log anything.
I'm doing this so that I can set the logging level for a whole bunch of scripts from a variable in a single config file.

A: I had problems with python 3 and got this working for me:
https://docs.python.org/3/howto/logging.html
# myapp.py
import logging
import mylib

def main():
    logging.basicConfig(filename='myapp.log', level=logging.INFO)
    logging.info('Started')
    mylib.do_something()
    logging.info('Finished')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

A: logging.setLevel() takes an int or a str.
So the following works just fine (at least in Python 3.7):
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
logger.setLevel("DEBUG")

A: What about using getattr on logging module?
import logging
str_level = 'DEBUG'
level = getattr(logging, str_level)
logger = logging.getLogger("my_logger")
logger.setLevel(level)
print(logger.getEffectiveLevel())

A: I find that leveraging an optional environmental variable is very convenient and flexible:
class Foo():
    def __init__(self):
        self.logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
        level = logging.getLevelName(os.environ.get('LOG_LEVEL', 'ERROR'))
        logging.basicConfig(level=level)

    def bar(self):
        self.logger.debug('Log something')

A: You should also be able to do this:
Log = logging.getLogger('myLogger')
level = logging.getLevelName('INFO')
Log.setLevel(level)

The logging.getLevelName(lvl) function works both ways. I use it, it works (you should check your python implementation though).
This saves you the trouble to maintain your own dictionary, and reduces the possibility of typo errors.

A: I was able to get this working below. I added a environment variable section as I am using this in a Docker but you can add it in as you see fit. This way you can select what you need and re-run your script.
#Manual Testing Variables If Needed
#os.environ["LOG_LEVEL_SELECTOR"] = "DEBUG, INFO, or ERROR"

#Setting Log Level Test
logger = logging.getLogger('json')
logger.addHandler(json_handler_out)
logger_levels = {
    'ERROR' : logging.ERROR,
    'INFO' : logging.INFO,
    'DEBUG' : logging.DEBUG
}
logger_level_selector = os.environ["LOG_LEVEL_SELECTOR"]
logger.setLevel(logger_level_selector)

Sage & Thyme – Nina. 29. Wife. Harrisburg. Cat Mom.
I cannot believe the last time I posted on here was when we moved OUT OF THE CITY OF HARRISBURG!
When I logged on initially I was kind of shocked I allowed my blog to get so far behind but, I hope that shows you how busy Zach and I have been over the course of a year and over. I am happy to say that life has slowed down significantly and I have been finding myself becoming compliant and dare I say, bored. So, recently, as in the past two months, I have been yearning for a creative outlet. Zach then said: "what happened to your blog?" And to be completely honest, I forgot about my blog – oops. Well, sort of. I did buy a new tripod the beginning of summer because I knew it would slow down – well, this summer was far from slow. This year was A LOT of fun but, full of new ventures too. Lets take a trip down not so far memory lane that was this year. Continue reading 2018 Recap: Hi, It's Me.
Posted on November 28, 2018 January 19, 2019 Categories Everything ElseLeave a comment on 2018 Recap: Hi, It's Me.
You know what is so weird saying that I am thirty years old, now? Actually, telling people I am thirty! The fact, that I am no longer in my twenties is very strange, honestly.
I wish I could tell everyone that I had all these epiphanies as I made this journey through my twenties and as I do believe in some ways I matured more in the past year but, I want to preference this by saying: THANK GOD MY TWENTIES ARE OVER!
I had a lot of major ups and downs in that decade.
I went from being a very innocent, sweet, quiet, semi-awkward girl who just wanted to make everyone happy and I feel like -which makes me feel a bit emotional- to a not so innocent, fun loving, still semi-awkward, hard working, emotional wreck at times, someone who doesn't know how to handle her feelings or handles them in the wrong way, but still continues to try to make everyone happy, and not so quiet women.
This is what life has done to me and vice versa.
But, it wasn't always bleak. I had beautiful moments in my twenties that I still cherish till this day – I just wish in certain aspects I was more outgoing and intuitive – but, again that is life. I met a lot of great friends who I still keep in contact with today. I pioneered for five years which has helped mold me to become more upfront and really helped me speak to strangers and socially I think it was the best example that helped me grow throughout the years and for the most part helped me stay more focused in the truth and that moment in my life helped me get through some of the harder moments as well.
I also met my first boyfriend who ended becoming my husband. Through him I gained even more wonderful people in my life who became my friends and family and that has been such a blessing. I moved away from South New Jersey to pursue life in Central Pennsylvania – which I love and I now call this place home. And even though, that stretch of my life has been harder and more challenging and the challenges have been very difficult to deal with at times I feel like now, I am becoming stronger from those experiences. It may have taken me a few years but, you really start to look in the mirror and ask yourself: "you can not go on like this, you need to do something about it, NOW" And that is basically how 29 went for me.
Which brings myself to a brand spankin' new decade! I have entered my 30's. And I always hear ones who are in their 40-60's say: "My thirties were my best years".
I have faith that I will be able to say the same.
I want to talk about positivity.
When you are bogged down with life and when it comes to dealing with struggles in our life along with stress we can forget to be positive. I know I definitely forget. I have been dealing with a lot of emotional stress due to family issues and its been a very frustrating situation as well. So, not only am I sad but I am also angry and that mixed together does not concoct well. I have been dealing with my stress in the worst way possible and I knew I had to make a significant change with how I deal with stress along with how to stay more positive regardless of what is going on in my life: good or bad.
